The rumor about 1,500 SOF was perhaps a bit more disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>But we also have the two army corps that were supposed to be ready around the turn of the year that are being assembled \u2013 there is no threat along the entire Russian land border so they are to be counted as strategic reserve. NATO and the USA have made this very clear to Putin several times.<\/p>\n<p>And the 40 brigades we cannot place on the unit maps, are they disbanded or are they in reserve behind the fronts \u2013 who knows?<\/p>\n<p>What we do know, however, is that Budanov has told us that Russian army combat forces in Ukraine will increase until the turn of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Then we have the southern front where the brigades have not really fought since the Ukrainian spring offensive ended \u2013 how much can they be re-equipped and rested in a year?<\/p>\n<p>At Pokrovsk Gregg says that RU has gathered many offensive reserves so we have to believe him.<\/p>\n<p>And at Kursk the 50,000 \u2013 70,000 Russians are not tired yet.<\/p>\n<p>And then Putin can, if he wants, tap into his 450,000 letter-agency forces, FSB, Rosgvardia, others, others, PMC and so on. Because the USA and the West have also been very clear that a destabilized Russia is not desirable.<br \/>\nPutin can simply gather everything he has to wage war in Ukraine since no other threats exist anywhere, except within the country.<\/p>\n<p>What I want to say here is that the Russians have a considerable offensive capacity left and it is a sign that they intend to use it in the near future. If it starts to look like they can reach a decisive outcome, they will not hold back at all \u2013 then it will be full throttle and the FSB will have to start running around in the fields.<\/p>\n<p>How would our leaders in the West around Christmas handle a breakthrough or front collapse in Ukraine?<br \/>\nNot at all is my guess actually, Lex Tsunami \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine&#8217;s offensive reserve was 14 brigades but maybe 4-5 are equipped and at least two of them train in the West.<br \/>\nWe know that maneuver brigades everywhere are short on both equipment and personnel and that they will not get enough F-16s in the near future.<br \/>\nSome brigades at the fronts are just infantry today and then there is some mechanized battalion behind as a rapid reaction force. What they have in terms of close combat vehicles, anti-tank missiles and manpads I don&#8217;t know but some brigades have flagged shortages of a bit of everything \u2013 even drones which is a bit strange.<\/p>\n<p>Before the war started, Ukraine had prepared as best they could and was fully equipped with the whole battery of infantry reinforcement weapons and managed to stop RU which was only 190,000 strong.<br \/>\nNow RU is probably at least 3 times that number and they have learned how to handle the battlefield somewhat and if UA is short on infantry reinforcement weapons it can get lively.<br \/>\nI usually scan the lists of support and there is less of that \u2013 is it omitted or not sent, or has UA&#8217;s own production capacity caught up?<br \/>\nSo we should not be led by 2022 at all here and assume that Ukraine can easily absorb a larger Russian offensive on all fronts.<\/p>\n<p>We will see, I have probably given up my hope that the West has actively worked with risk analysis in this war actually. The problem is that if that were the case then suddenly the risk is unacceptably high \u2013 the West simply does not have control.<\/p>\n<p>An offensive wedge down into Bryansk is in any case a low probability.<br \/>\nThrough Belarus I think Lukashenko will manage to prevent it again but the problem is that if there are signs that Ukraine is losing then Lukashenko will become the biggest warmonger of the millennium and at least allow Russian forces to attack down through Belarus.<\/p>\n<p>One did not become very calm directly by the strategic communication from this meeting with all the leaders was that the election in the USA is more important \u2013 first out was the Polish president and then CNN et.al write the same thing. Putin knows just like us now that he has at least three months to be left alone.<\/p>\n<p>I am pretty sure that Ukraine does not have time on its side here but we should not underestimate the feeling of &#8220;now that&#8217;s enough for this year, now I&#8217;m taking Christmas break and then we&#8217;ll take care of this again in January&#8221; \u2013 that force is strong in most people whether they want it or not and it is probably strongest among our elected officials.<\/p>\n<p>Rocket rain over Russia will only happen when UA, France, Italy, Germany and the USA say it will happen regardless of whether all other Western countries support the decision because they are the ones who have the rockets.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;they enthusiastically praised each other for the far too weak support they have given Ukraine&#8221; is NOT a good grade \ud83d\ude10<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dn.se\/varlden\/anna-lena-lauren-biden-och-scholz-hyllar-varandra-for-ukrainastod-som-inte-ar-tillrackligt\/\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">https:\/\/www.dn.se\/varlden\/anna-lena-lauren-biden-och-scholz-hyllar-varandra-for-ukrainastod-som-inte-ar-tillrackligt\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But Scholz decided to top it with the worst comment of the month anyway.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/noelreports\/status\/1847227147515019642?s=46&amp;t=Vah3JXV31B9lXwZOK5gF7w\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">https:\/\/x.com\/noelreports\/status\/1847227147515019642?s=46&amp;t=Vah3JXV31B9lXwZOK5gF7w<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Germany is also against Ukraine joining NATO \u2013 why do you think that is, I would think Ukraine would become NATO&#8217;s most valuable member if they joined.<br \/>\nScholz is, to me, dangerously close to ending up in the same category as Orban actually through his statements.<br \/>\nHe does not have full control over the equipment that is sent so he cannot take credit for all of it but he fully owns his own statements.<\/p>\n<p>The F-16s are probably still too few to risk against the FAB traps, and they might still be needed for the Russian missile barrage for now?<\/p>\n<p>Actual deliveries of everything now promised \u2013 no clue but pretty sure that the depots and transport fleets also have something called Christmas break.<\/p>\n<p>There are absolutely also reasons to suspect that the Russian bastards will start offensives on Christmas Day, New Year&#8217;s Day, and all that stuff that was probably the plan against Sweden.<br \/>\nThey will do their best to knock out the power supply, and surely a lot of communications officers from NATO will go home for Christmas, and in December a whole bunch from the International Legion will decide they have fought long enough, and all the volunteers delivering to the front will take Christmas leave.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s basically the completely wrong time to leave Ukraine alone but it\u2019s heading that way.<\/p>\n<p>The USA will send its soldiers to Ukraine to learn from the subpar Ukrainian shooting<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/front_ukrainian\/status\/1847334799016382538\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">https:\/\/x.com\/front_ukrainian\/status\/1847334799016382538<\/a><\/p>\n<p>UNIFIL has a rather interesting goal drift in resolution 1701 \u2013 what have we really been paying for all this time?<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/drelidavid\/status\/1847333218871136303?s=46&amp;t=Vah3JXV31B9lXwZOK5gF7w\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">https:\/\/x.com\/drelidavid\/status\/1847333218871136303?s=46&amp;t=Vah3JXV31B9lXwZOK5gF7w<\/a><\/p>\n<p>UNRWA also has a black mourning band in its profile picture, whether it was for Sinwar or his bodyguard who worked for UNRWA is unclear.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/unrwa\/status\/1846949851373723713?s=46&amp;t=Vah3JXV31B9lXwZOK5gF7w\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">https:\/\/x.com\/unrwa\/status\/1846949851373723713?s=46&amp;t=Vah3JXV31B9lXwZOK5gF7w<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are the North Koreans just so NATO doesn\u2019t misunderstand.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bayraktar_1love\/status\/1847320427435106680?s=46&amp;t=Vah3JXV31B9lXwZOK5gF7w\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">https:\/\/x.com\/bayraktar_1love\/status\/1847320427435106680?s=46&amp;t=Vah3JXV31B9lXwZOK5gF7w<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also want to highlight Russian strategic communication \u2013<br \/>\n1.
