Before the next post reflecting on what the EU\/Europe should do, it\u2019s too hard not to squeeze in a May 9 first \ud83d\ude0d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last year, Ukraine heavily drone-attacked in the days before May 9, but Zelensky made it clear that he was not allowed to drone the parade for us in the West, who in our infinite wisdom thought it was more important that the war didn\u2019t end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Putin invited 30 heads of state (or their representatives for those who didn\u2019t trust Zelensky) including Xi Jinping. They sat lined up on a nice bench beside the parade, grinning broadly with the sun in their faces because they knew Ukraine wouldn\u2019t do anything. My blood pressure was worryingly high that day, but I have trained self-control ahead of this year\u2019s parade by lifting empty beer cans with dumbbells for five minutes every morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was last year \u2013 now Trump has burned all bridges with Zelensky so no one cares what he says even though he has tried to help Putin get a ceasefire through by May 9. A one-day ceasefire \u2013 completely shameless even for him and directly embarrassing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last year, Ukraine respected the ceasefire which was supposed to last about a week, but on May 10 Russia carried out a violent bombing campaign against Ukraine as thanks for the shown respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zelensky has smartly countered with his own ceasefire on May 5-6 \u2013 and that they will follow how Russia acts. Since RU practically won\u2019t be able to avoid terror bombing today and tomorrow, May 9 is reasonably a legitimate target according to the principle of proportionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are already rejoicing over the burning export ports in the Gulf of Finland like Primorsk, which are really only surpassed by the total destruction of refineries like Tuapse, or the violent attacks on the Black Sea Fleet in Novorossiysk and on Crimea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How RU could still have their valuable Ropuchas on Crimea is beyond my understanding but so it was \u2013 no more Ropuchas Mr. Putin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the first time, Putin has stopped just enduring in silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now he mentions all the droning as a problem and THAT IS A BIGGIE because everything that has hurt them they haven\u2019t mentioned with a word during 4 years of war \u2013 it\u2019s serious now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Putin has played it safe and cleared Russia of portable air defenses which are now found on rooftops around Moscow. Despite that, Ukraine yesterday carried out a violent drone attack on Moscow that sailed right through the air defense umbrella \u2013 there you have it, RU is totally caught with their pants down here and they have tried EW weapons, early-warning systems and all the different air defense capabilities they have in their arsenal along with snipers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The important thing is that exactly everything is a downside for Putin right now ahead of May 9 \u2013 no matter how he spins this, the publicity will be terrible at a time when he already fears at least one palace coup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recently he asked Musk to shut down Starlink quickly followed by the blackout of Telegram to prevent the spread of information \u2013 the two proposals for this move are mobilization or to sound the alarm before internal unrest has started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FSB has (again) started a purge mixed with unexplained suicides so something is absolutely going on, especially since public figures with reputations to maintain have begun criticizing the war AND Putin in very clear terms \u2013 some kind of opposition has started to move, it\u2019s crystal clear because everyone knows what happened to Girkin and the bloggers who tried that too early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ball is rolling simply and those of you reading know that Putin intends to counter it with an escalation in the Baltics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, Ukraine already has a deal with the 6 oblasts closest to them to tie these to themselves as a buffer zone post-war. What they get in return is trade with Ukraine which then has full access to the EU internal market, which is very attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ATESH exists all over Russia together with at least six different active local liberation fronts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A whole bunch of sub-republics with minority peoples are just waiting to declare their independence but since they are as cowardly as Europe, they only do so when UA projects sufficient strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Old \u201cstans\u201d like Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan are also waiting for the moment to fully orient themselves towards Ukraine\/Europe even though China is trying to tie them to itself too \u2013 same there, it must be completely risk-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not to mention the judiciary \u2013 recently a senior officer (above Colonel?) responsible for the massacre in Bucha died, hard to find another explanation than that Ukraine stole a page from Mossad\u2019s playbook and is now dispensing justice in a headshot style. Apparently, Putin\u2019s inner circle has received greatly increased protection now, they are absolutely worried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ukraine has always pursued fully asymmetric warfare \u2013 they are in contact with an opposition in Russia they believe in where the goal is to topple Russia which then splits into about a dozen new countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It may not succeed all the way with another villain in power instead but they try as best they can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back to May 9 \u2013 it is Russia\u2019s big day where they project strength for Putin and Rodina \u2013 the Nazis in Germany tried but failed, motherland forever, Red Storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have received some information \u2013 a drone network is being set up on the streets ahead of the parade which will go without heavy vehicles this year. Since new production is working well so there are hundreds of freshly painted vehicles of the latest model available, it is purely a precaution. There is also a strategic offensive reserve available \u2013 if Putin wanted, he could hold the biggest parade ever to project maximum strength which he surely needs right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If one may guess, Putin will not stand in the middle of the square in the sunshine at all in a few days but appear on big screen TV as the Great Leader or alternatively sit behind triple layers of protective nets they believe in \u2013 which is worse is probably a matter of taste?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if they are already worried today about a palace coup or UA attack, the protective nets are not enough because what would be a better way to carry out a palace coup than to have the revolutionaries walking in the parade with Putin ten meters away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If it\u2019s a Putin double, we already have all the copies \u2013 funny friendly guy, the guy with the wrong forehead and someone else so it will take two hours before we know which copy it was \u2013 but IF the double is then killed, it will be quite a big problem for Putin in his bunker I think if the situation runs out of control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is where it gets wonderfully sunny \u2013 a bit like soothing elevator music in light blue because Ukraine can do absolutely anything, everything will become a totally gloomy bar hangout for Putin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few suggestions from a happy amateur \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-Totally drone the parade into pieces in a cloud of FPV drones that darken the sky to the ride of the Valkyries with thermobaric grenades and \u201cdracarys drones\u201d, as a finale salt the earth \u2013 my favorite option but maybe a bit less likely unfortunately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-fly FPV drones over the parade so all of Russia watches live TV when Shoigu pushes Gerasimov away before he crashes under the table and loses one boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-hack the big screen TV with Putin in the middle of his speech for some UA propaganda.<\/p>\n\n\n
-combat all LV that is now gathered within a small geographic area for a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-unleash the war’s largest drone and robot swarm against all other targets around Russia that had to allocate their LV for the protection of Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-start the spring offensive at the fronts (I don’t really believe in it unless UA has already planned an offensive in May and is just timing the dates, I have guessed that it is a bit early so far but who knows…).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-hack state TV during the parade and run UA propaganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-let the sub-republics declare their liberation from Russia on May 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-sink the Kerch Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-release a cloud of Ukraine-pampfletters over the parade using drones, someone suggested that on johanno1.se, a bit too peaceful for my taste but if paired with sticky napalm I support it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can quickly see that anything will pull down Putin\u2019s pants who looks weak in front of the country\u2019s citizens in a country where only pure brute force keeps you in power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May 9 is this year\u2019s most important date to ridicule Putin so that something happens we can be sure of \u2013 it should have happened last year but we chose to betray Ukraine because we are better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Saturday it happens, then Ukraine scrapes out this year\u2019s big lottery win so far \u2013 we usually can follow it on some live channel YouTube I think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now I am supposed to have an alcohol-free year so it will be snus and Pellegrino with blood orange flavor for me but all of you others better pour a good whisky to prepare a toast with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you then in pure joy run in for a paid subscription on Substack so you become a winner you will have an even better day I can promise. One BigMac meal less per month is also good for your health \u2013 a health cure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
