Het Russisch leger stuurt zijn soldaten slechts met een geweer en een schep naar de Oekrainse stellingen

De schep is gemaakt voor het graven van loopgraven en schuttersputjes, maar is tevens te gebruiken als wapen in gevechten van "man tegen man"

UK Ministerie van Defensie in een update :

Latest Defence Intelligence update on the situation in Ukraine - 5 March 2023

pbs.twimg.com/media/Fqb9zAIWcAEmhUp?f...

In late February 2023, Russian mobilised reservists described being ordered to assault a Ukrainian concrete strong point armed with only ‘firearms and shovels’. The ‘shovels’ are likely entrenching tools being employed for hand-to-hand combat.

The lethality of the standard-issue MPL-50 entrenching tool is particularly mythologised in Russia. Little changed since it was designed in 1869, its continued use as a weapon highlights the brutal and low-tech fighting which has come to characterise much of the war

One of the reservists described being ‘neither physically nor psychologically’ prepared for the action.

Recent evidence suggests an increase in close combat in Ukraine. This is probably a result of the Russian command continuing to insist on offensive action largely consisting of dismounted infantry, with less support from artillery fire because Russia is short of munitions.

The Tyrant's Solitude: How Dictators Lose Touch With Reality

The fundamentally irrational decision to invade Ukraine was the final proof that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been living in a world of illusions. He may be best understood by retracing the steps of history's other tyrants, and gauging how their stories ended.

KYIV — Feb. 21, 2022. This wasn't just the day when Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine became inevitable. This was also the day that two critical parts of Russian President Vladimir Putin's regime were made clear: his unconditional dominance even over his closest, highest-ranking associates, and his complete immersion in the world of his illusions, where even his associates are forbidden to enter.

When both of these features lined up, the result was his suicidal decision to attack Ukraine.

Tyrants and despots style themselves as the most knowledgeable among mortals. Supposedly, they have access to detailed reports from the omnipresent, omnipotent special services, who never miss anything. That is why the despot seems to know everything better than the average person. There is no need to ask the people anything: the giraffe is tall — it sees further.

This could not be further from the truth.

In fact, each person has their own worldview. The more authoritarian a person is, the stronger the conviction that their view is correct; the higher the person, the more they are inclined to believe that they are doing everything right.

Having risen to the heights of power, the dictator falls into a vicious circle.

First, the heads of the intelligence services bring the leader more or less truthful information about the country's situation. Authoritarian states are always worse off than official propaganda says. For a while, the tyrant listens to such truthful information, but as long as it doesn't not concern his own decisions or, God forbid, the actions of loved ones.

The Lord is infallible. Caesar's wife must be above suspicion.

It is almost impossible for an authoritarian person to admit they are wrong; it is insulting to hear about the indecent behavior of relatives. Gradually, the despot comes to the idea that he can't be in the wrong, but instead the intelligence services either do not see the full picture of the world (the leader has a monopoly on the truth), do not understand the scale of decisions, or are deliberately misinforming.

The informer is the first to feel the whip's crack. The bearers of bad news are executed.

Lies and manipulation

Then, even in the best intelligence services, there is a breakdown. The honest ones simply stop telling the truth; the more mercenary among them start to lie. The truth loses value. Shares of sycophancy and servility grow. Service is replaced by subservience. From ordinary agents to the chiefs, everyone tells the leader what he wants to hear. The clueless end up on the scaffold.

The Führer cannot be wrong.

....

Will Putin listen to those who disagree with him? Or will he listen only to those who speak in unison with his thoughts— about mobilization, about strikes on power plants, about a nuclear bomb? Will Russia crash into the outside world like a ship that has lost control? Will the collapse be preceded by large-scale repression?

In a word, will Putin remain in this world of illusions, detached from reality, and take all of Russia with him?

We will have the answer soon enough.

Yesterday, a Russian BM-21 'Grad' was destroyed after counterbattery fire in the Zaporizhzia region.

note Grad is het Russische woord voor "hagel' wat verwijst naar het snelle afvuren van de raketten achter elkaar

-Window on Eurasia -- New Series-

Putin has Helped West Overcome Its Mistaken Assumption that Economic Integration Promotes Democratization.

When communism in Europe collapsed, the cold war ended, and the USSR disintegrated, the West made the mistaken assumption that economic integration would destroy authoritarianism, Aleksey Tikhonov says. In fact, authoritarian leaders like Putin were able to use that integration to strengthen themselves and their dictatorships.

Putin and others like him might have been able to continue to do so had the current Kremlin leader not so overreached, forcing not only the United States but European countries to recognize that economic integration does not necessarily promote democratization, the Russian commentator says

After 1991, Tikhonov continues, “economic integration did not eliminate authoritarianism.” Instead, it had the opposite effect because authoritarians like Putin used it to their advantage. They “built up their economic power through Western markets, investment, and technology but rejected Western democratic values and institutions.”

Meneer luchtschip,

Denkt u dat de VS nog voldoende munitie in voorraad heeft om aan Oekraïne te geven,
of raakt het daar ook op?

De VS heeft meer dan voldoende munitie in voorraad

Oekraine zal natuurlijk altijd blijven roepen dat ze meer munitie, tanks en vliegtuigen en sneller, liever vandaag dan morgen, willen hebben
Of de VS en andere Westerse landen voldoende leveren zal moeten blijken uit het verloop van de strijd
