    As an American I’m wholly embarrassed by the ridiculous demands of my inept, incompetent and impotent government in regard to Ukraine striking Russian oil/gas facilities. The hypocrisy of our government is staggering. We have to sit here and watch Russia destroy the Ukraine and commit genocide, whilst our government sits idle with much needed money/weapons sitting idle in warehouses. Trillions spent in the Middle East on senseless, directionless war however, we can’t help a nation defend itself against the tyranny of a psychopathic dictator whose delusions are tearing the world apart. I’ve never been more embarrassed to be an American, in my nearly five decade existence on this earth.

    What happened in this Crocus hall?
    - If someone somewhere in Moscow or St. Petersburg shows a blank sheet of paper, fully armed and armored "policemen" will be there within 30-90 seconds and capture the person and drag them into waiting vehicles.
    - Crocus Hall: There are hundreds of surveillance cameras around and inside the building.
    - There is a larger police station in the building itself.
    - There is a “special police” station about 2 km away from the hall.
    - In the building there is a sprinkler system that runs on water and there is a system with halon gas; i.e. two different fire extinguishing systems.
    So what happened?
    The terrorists appear in a vehicle and park. They get out with large automatic weapons in their hands. they walk completely calmly to the entrance and into the building. The people sitting in front of the surveillance camera screens could have raised the alarm - in addition to automatic danger detection systems. WHY didn't this happen? As a reminder - someone lifts a white sheet of paper - then it only takes seconds until someone is there....... . Was the entire surveillance staff on vacation at the time of a major event? Were the automatic surveillance systems switched off during a major event?
    Then the "police station" IN THE building - was the staff there also on vacation?
    Then the police station is about two km away - the emergency services could walk to the Crocushalle in 20 minutes, by car in 5 minutes - why did it take over an hour until the first police officers were on site?
    The pictures that exist of what happened - the terrorists don't give the impression that they are in a hurry, as if they knew that they had enough time.
    They move completely freely in large parts of the building and shoot people.
    they have enough time to start a fire. Not only that, they must have either known exactly WHERE to set the fire in order for it to spread or they knew that BOTH extinguishing systems would NOT work. Afterwards they still have enough time to leave the building undisturbed.
    Only someone who knows exactly that there will be no resistance acts like this
    Personally, I believe that it was a terrorist attack by an IS group, but I also believe that Putin knew it exactly and that he let it happen on purpose in order to then use it to his advantage. Isn't anyone in Russia asking themselves how this could happen when it usually only takes seconds for someone to be arrested with a blank sheet of paper?

      In the debate between Team:Malice and Team:Incompetence I am firmly in the Team:Incompetence camp. I assume that some kind of corruption was involved in the misfunction of the sprinkler systems, but I don't think it was necessarily high level corruption from somewhere up in the cloud. Just someone neglecting their duty, or even taking a nice extra paycheck to neglect their duty.
      I don't believe that Putin would have organized it in this way, because I don't see the balance of advantages vs disadvantages in regards to regime stability pointing towards a Black Flag attack condoned by the Kremlin.
      As for the failure in police reaction, I see nothing there that does not follow logically from incompetence, lack of responsibility and personal cowardness.

    "all the armor we have given them"...
    We have given them left overs and crumbs, a zoo of different types in small numbers, requiring even different tool sizes and lubricants.
    Everybody who witnessed these "NATO-doctrine" combined arms exercises towards the end of the Cold War knows, that these "huge strikes" have been based on 5 times the numbers, including superior air power, on a front line of half the length of the one in Ukraine and a "theater" in only one direction, not surrounded by 300°-s.
    That 2023 spring offensive according "NATO-standards" anyway never could have worked. Militaries insisting on this and blaming Ukrainian command up to there occurring a re-shuffle are terrifyingly irresponsible and displaced.

    Thank you for this excellent analysis by Maj. Gen. Rupert Jones. I like that he doesn't try to out-think the Ukraine military leaders and gives them credit for fighting as they know how to do it. I also feel it is wrong for Western military people to project their expectations onto Ukraine in this devastating war. We need to continue giving them what they need and let them get on with their heroic efforts without pressures and criticism from the West. These only encourage Putin.

    It wasn't mentioned, but the fact that Ukraine has yet to receive any aircraft is nothing less than disgusting. Before you tell me it takes time, I already know that. But we were a year and a half into the war before the US agreed to allow even training to start. Far worse than that, Biden prevented Poland from turning over a bunch of MiGs very early in the war because they had some NATO technical upgrades.
    The US has still not given any long range missiles other than some ATACAMs cluster munitions. And Germany steadfastly refuses to send any TAURUS missiles.

    That's a good remark. Putin is humiliating his intelligence services with this whole thing. First, before the attack, not believing it was an actual warning (despite the Russian intelligence probably would believe it was genuine), and then by trying to blame Ukraine (despite the people in Russian intelligence know that's not true). This might be humiliating for them, and they might see that, besides that, what Putin is doing is very damaging to Russia and Russians. After all, many citizens died, and the attitude of Putin makes it easier for a new massacre to happen again, due to not taking ISIS seriously, and treating the Russian intelligence professionals as little kids.

    Good interview. 👍👍👍
    If it wasn't an inside job, this attack comes as a gift to Putler.
    I assume that they themselves were already aware of the impending attack and were angry that the Americans made this public.
    Every system has difficulties in mobilization unless there is an external enemy. Most Russians are well aware that Russia is attacking Ukraine and not the other way around, so enthusiasm for mobilization against Ukraine is rather limited. This is different with another external enemy, who could possibly be linked to Ukraine.
    This alone explains the slow response of the security services. It just came in handy for them. This is not the first time that Russia has been involved in such and other false flag operations against its own population. They will continue to inflate and intensify the attack, and the security services' response will quietly disappear from the narrative.

    I think Ukraine’s allies were critical of how Ukraine was fighting because we didn’t supply them with what was needed to really do combined arms, the spring offensive didn’t go well, and the US and others wanted to deflect blame for not sending needed aircraft, etc.

    • @artistforfreedom
      @artistforfreedom Před 2 měsíci +1

      I fully support Ukraine in their fight and agree we need to give them more of everything, even troops. But, why was it a surprise to find the frontline littered with landmines. I saw our de-mining equipment on trucks going to the coast. And why wasn't the head of Ukraine's military not talking to the US military head? I have a lot of respect for the Ukrainians and their ability. I also greatly respect the US, Britain, Norway, France, Poland, Sweden, Italy...military.
      The slow waltz for the F-16 big picture. NATO has one goal to protect members. The US has the objective to protect the US, which is why it has spent trillions getting ready for this moment in time and financing NATO for decades. If the US did it all it puts the US as the target, especially nukes. NATO members needed to upgrade their fighters and to arm, as we've all heard about Germany participating in NATO training armed with broomsticks. More importantly, Europe needed to disconnect from Russian resources. That takes time, contracts, budgets, big people meetings. F-35s will surround Russia and China.
      This is a long war and the US would like to be around to finish it.

    He mentions the expectation we'd had that Ukraine's 2023 offensive would have been more dramatic with the tanks Ukraine had gotten. He concentrates a lot of the fact that the Ukrainians still have a lot of the Russian-style doctrine that they haven't shaken off. But Perun also mentioned the mines, which are far more concentrated than than standard doctrine. The west was slow to give Ukraine what it needed, and it gave Russia time to really dig in and build all then entrenchments and these ridiculously dense minefields. I don't see how that was a doctrinal problem on Ukraine's part, but maybe there's an element of that too...

      Sprinkler system probably didn't work. It is Russia after all.

    I think we should think of the outcomes of anyone taking down Putin if that ever happens. What are the options, what would be the implications and the power struggles that will start as a consequence?. If Putin falls and there is a power vacuum Russia probably risks civil war or at the very least balkanization

      Balkanization of Russia is exactly what the Washington neocons and Chinese Communists both want.

    Fabulous stuff. Insights and common sense. We should keep our noses out from time to time.
