The Kharkov Game-Changer

Wars are not won by psyops. Ask Nazi Germany. Still, it’s been a howler to watch NATOstan media on Kharkov, gloating in unison about “the hammer blow that knocks out Putin”, “the Russians are in trouble”, and assorted inanities.

Facts: Russian forces withdrew from the territory of Kharkov to the left bank of the Oskol river, where they are now entrenched. A Kharkov-Donetsk-Lugansk line seems to be stable. Krasny Liman is threatened, besieged by superior Ukrainian forces, but not lethally.

How to understand the deep strategy of earthly political power: KOBK

The ultimate game-theory of top global political power on earth is KOBK: kill-or-be-killed. There is no other option.

This is so because top players can never be sure of the intentions of other top players. The world at the top is like an uneasy group of mafia bosses who can be and often are killed and replaced.

In world politics, Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) acted as a Nash Equilibrium which held well-enough during the Cold War. But those days are gone: Uncontrollable unrestricted warfare is the game being played now.

(Tactics include: mass infiltration and spying, sedition, terrorist acts, poison, murder, bioweaponry, mind-control, propaganda, information collection, theft, control of money, Central Bank Digital Currency, mandates, captured agencies, bribery, blackmail, etc. Uncontrolled unrestricted warfare allows for anything. If you don’t do it, your enemies will.)

If we keep this in mind, our analyses of what is happening now and what will happen in future will be much sharper and to the point. Briefly, top players must always seek more power, more information, better weapons, and more ways of using whatever they have to destroy both real and potential rivals.

This is why we are seeing USA and other 5-Eyeys countries gathering as much information as they can about their own citizens as well as the rest of the world. This is why these same powers are mandating masks, lockdowns, vaccines, quarantines, and so on—to exercise total control over their own people. Absolute power plus maximum information collection is the only way they can assure themselves they are safe from their own people.

We can see Beijing is doing the same thing. To many, it appears 5-Eyes are imitating Beijing by creating their own “social-credit” system of surveillance and total control. A better analysis is they must do that based on KOBK dictates.

It is important to understand that people at the top ultimately have no choice but to follow KOBK dictates. Given the game they are playing—kill-or-be-killed—they have no choice but to aim for totalitarian control. This is what we all should expect to see more of. This is the inevitable direction the world is heading in. Kill-or-be-killed is the ultimate, irreducible, ineluctable game being played today.

This does not mean we cannot or should not fight back. It does mean that we must understand what we are fighting against. Uncontrolled, unrestricted warfare is necessarily the game top players are playing on all fronts.

UPDATE: KOBK is 100% amoral. A KOBK player could be evil or good, a demon or a saint, or anything in-between. I emphasize KOBK because it is a rock-bottom game-theory that no player can escape. If a player even suspects his potential rival is going to play by KOBK rules, he has no choice but to do the same. The Kill-or-be-Killed basis of KOBK does not mean literally kill the person. It means kill their ability to threaten you with KOBK. As a power, a suspected KOBK rival must be utterly destroyed. KOBK battles often do kill real people, but their game-theory essence is only to kill the ability of the rival to fight. Another aspect of KOBK is its tendency to escalate very rapidly. This happens because any suspicion that a rival is going KOBK must be met with a savage KOBK blow. ABN

UPDATE #2: KOBK also explains the infiltration and takeover of most of the US government and much of congress and why they persistently and savagely attack President Trump and his closest supporters and advisors. KOBK also explains the lockdowns in China and tension over Taiwan. It also explains why no one in power gives a fuck what their citizens think. For them, the real game is 100% their power not your well-being. ABN

Putin’s revenge: Devastating missile strikes hit Ukraine’s power grid as payback for military humiliation – as Russian troops are pushed back to the border in some regions

  • Russian airstrikes hit multiple Ukrainian power stations overnight, causing blackouts in a third of the country
  • Zelensky’s adviser said strikes were ‘coward’s revenge’ for humiliating rout of Russian troops in the east
  • Ukrainian troops pushed Russian forces back across the border in some areas, facing only token resistance 
  • President Zelesnky defiantly vowed that: ‘We will be with gas, lights, water and food.. and WITHOUT you!’

Why has the Russian Air Force been unable to effectively support ground forces? A short thread 👇

1/ Why has the Russian Air Force been unable to effectively support ground forces? A short thread 👇

(Given Twitter's word limit, the thread is brief, providing an overview of several points).

2/ One key reason is the lack of a more concerted and effective effort to suppress and/or destroy Ukrainian medium- and long-range, high-altitude-capable mobile SAM systems (S-300PS/V1 & Buk-M1) operating closer to the frontline.

Prepare for Nukes in Ukraine

…the Ukraine war will be decided by off-battlefield factors (the list of what those might be is increasingly long and scary.)

Putin’s “political” strategy of waging a big war without sufficient manpower (as I briefly covered in a recent post), not bothering the general population with a mass call-up of trained reserves, has shown its first big slide towards disaster

Total Russian Collapse in E. Kharkov

The U.S./Ukrainian offensive has taken most of Kupiansk almost without a fight, and the Russian army group in Izium is being evacuated, leaving behind thousands of tons of gear and ammo.

Again, this is due to Putin’s “political” strategy of trying to fight a big war (against the U.S. hegemonic bloc, the entire West) without raising sufficient manpower, not calling up the reserves so as to leave Russia’s population in peacetime mode.

The “whack a mole” approach of trying to guess the direction of the Ukrainian offensive in the north (given insufficient forces to man the line) has failed utterly. If you don’t like it, don’t blame me.

I’m going to share with a private opinion from a knowledgeable European official I know

To the Republicans complaining about the billions the US is sending to Ukraine

I’m going to share with a private opinion from a knowledgeable European official I know

Basically, he starts off smiling and saying the US are “absolutely ruthless” with regard to the Ukraine war

1

I reponded that America is footing most of the bill for this

He laughed, hard

He said: win, lose or draw, the Americans win

Main points
-“Money” being sent to Ukraine is mostly in form of arms/weapons
-They’re sent via “lend-lease” meaning Ukraine will have to pay it back

2

-It wasn’t until after Ukraine showed that it would not be occupied by Russia, that the US committed big budgets and armaments
-After the war, the EU will be on the hook for rebuilding Ukraine, integrating them into the union and thus helping pay back the US lend-lease arms

“We’re not facing an energy crisis in Europe. We’re facing a crisis of leadership” ~ Eva Vlaardingerbroek

We’re not facing an energy crisis in Europe. We’re facing a crisis of leadership.

Originally tweeted by Eva Vlaardingerbroek (@EvaVlaar) on September 9, 2022.

We’re not just facing a crisis of leadership in the West, we’re facing an asymmetric warfront visited upon us by unelected usurpers who are colluding with each other across the West, between nations and within them. This is why we are faced with nothing but destructive policies, fear-based mind-control, deadly viruses, and even more deadly remedies mandated for them. ABN
