Insights into Ukrainian Tactics: Defend, Lure, Win.
From Deep Strikes to Economic Warfare: Global Strategy

UKRAINIAN TACTICS GLOBAL STRATEGY
The Ukrainian war is one part of a global strategy. Details follow.
The correct tactic is to defend and thereby lure the Russians into ambushes and assaults on well-prepared positions. And to ditch Soviet deep battle doctrine, that was clearly applied and of course failed in Zaporizhiya aka Kursk 2.0.
Whether Ukraine's command structure is patient/disciplined/uncorrupt enough to do the hard work of acting like losing while setting up traps for the invader are open questions.
Hopefully someone somewhere is teaching every company grade officer and NCO

FM 21-100 Military Leadership
Since Ukraine is applying Soviet deep battle Ukraine must also still use sotnik instead of squads.
Soviet doctrine works if you have a slave army. But a slave army can only work with massive artillery barrages and numerical superiority. Ukraine has neither. Ukraine needs to take up NATO leadership doctrine and tactics.
Burn "Russia's" backyard
Target: No Russian air force within six months. No Russian hydrocarbon exports within 3 months. Both are ambitious. I got big dreams, big dreams!
"We're gonna hold onto them by the nose" (Ukrainian Army)
"and kick them in the ass" (Irregulars)
Ukraine will win. But at what price? I want the price in Ukrainian blood to be as low as possible. Unlike uncle sam I will do Anything to get there.
RUSSIAN WAYS OF WAR
Blood purge in Russia continues, yet another regime "suicide". “Andrei Morozov, a Russian soldier and military blogger, has died by suicide shortly after revealing the scale of Moscow's troop losses in the fight for Avdiivka in eastern Ukraine, multiple Russian Telegram channels have reported.” https://www.newsweek.com/andrei-morozov-murz-dies-suicide-avdiivka-losses-1871868
Unlike China, Russia has no fear of retaliation. The entire country would go meatwave. Avdiivka is a model not an aberration. They are a suicidal culture and the last time they were nearly exterminated. But they won.
This time they won't win. But they might be exterminate themselves.
I ate another plane. Not sorry. That's nothing.

As promised, more deep strikes in Russia to cripple Russian war industry targeting especially the oil & gas industry, aircraft, and railroads. https://timesofmalta.com/article/fire-kills-15-at-russian-explosives-factory.909808

"The Three Body Problem"
Suppose Bob loves Alice, Bob hates Eve, and Charlie hates Eve, but Alice loves Charlie.
So Bob and Charlie both want to kill Eve, and so Eve wants to kill Bob aDavend Charlie
Alice and Bob hate Charlie
Eve hates Alice and Charlie
Eve kills Alice and Charlie
How should Bob react?
This is a compressed version of a problem in cryptography and another problem in military science.
Recommendation: Bob should be relieved in both sense of that word.
Obviously, this is a "toy" problem, presented at the most abstract and briefest way possible, but with a hidden twist inside. Did you catch it?
ORGANIZED CRIME
Mafia overlord Vladimir Putin thinks Western liberals like McFaul and the rest of the blob are evil due to destroying traditional gender and sex roles fostering homosexuality, and other WEIRD* ideals, not to mention greed and usury.
Putin is a vicious murderer who kills off his enemies. But does this mean he is evil? What is evil? Mass drug abuse, rampant obesity, I can easily point out the obvious deadly flaws in the current iteration of American anything-goes liberalism not to mention consequences of skin color, which are often a problem in the USA).
John Schindler certainly has excellent insights into Orthodox Christianity and how it is a lens through which most everyone east of the Oder river thinks. Schindler and Putin alike are in fact believers: people are what they in fact do.
Vladimir Putin is a power maximizer seeking to serve what he sees as the Russian national interest. Does this mean he is evil? I think good and evil exist and are useful in ones personal affairs. For this very reason I think one must also be self-critical, like I'm oh-so-perfect. Putin, like any other mafia boss, only kills the people he feels he must. He would say his war on Western Liberal relativism is not a war on truth but rather a war for the truth about Orthodox civilization.
Well, if Putin wants to save the slavs, he needs to end the war yesterday. Putin is in fact continuing Hitler's extermination of slavs at the cost of not one dead Landser. Current events are the realization of many of Hitler's goals.
I don't regard him as evil, just doddering, very much off his game, making mistakes. He believed his own propaganda, and made colossal catastrophic decisions in consequence. I see no way out for him. He will die in office, most likely violently and at the hands of his henchmen.
*Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Developed. These values are often in direct conflict with pre-weird social values like Courage, Honor, Family, Respect. This is why you have mutual incomprehension. Lots of late modernity, our current era, shocks me in bad ways but also leaves me in wonder in other ways.
This guy used to be a gangster and left that life for God and an actual family.
I have written about anti-corruption extensively in my publications.
I have not, and have no intention, of talking publicly about links and conflicts between organized criminal factions, terrorist groups, and intelligence agencies.
It was an entirely different world back then. I understand it thoroughly, which is why I can give good advice for de-corruption in Ukraine. Part of social progress is the end of crime-for-profit.
BAD JACKETING
In a much earlier post I discussed "bad jacketing". If that ever happens to you I suggest
1. Never wear a red jacket. Never.
2. Always use a full metal jacket.
CHINA & GLOBAL STRATEGY
The Chinese Communist Party very clearly has set a course to energy independence. This can be fairly readily verified in public documents with varying degrees of authority. People and peoples, thus states, we are what we in fact do. The CCP wants energy independence so that the USA could not do to its economy that which we are currently doing to Russia's economy. Electrics vehicles can be fueled from wind, solar, coal, or nuclear fired power plants. They are clearly a tool for autarchy, thus will get subventioned, underwritten. However, they are not a war winning technology and in fact are a technology which will foster economic growth in the less industrialized parts of the planet. We are only going to embargo and boycott technologies with direct military applications, even there may perhaps only do so with technologies regarded as war winning. Chinese factories are gonna spew out all the EVs they can build and sell abroad. The only direct military application is quiet fast accelerating reconnaissance vehicles (scout cars, light armored vehicles). Could be useful for submarines too. These are peripheral, dual uses, and are not war winning.
I do have a plan to wreck the Chinese economy, military planning must consider all possibilities. Our objective is not to destroy or even hobble the Chinese economy, but to constrain Chinese military industry in all aspects possible with a policy of economic cooperation in the non-military sectors.
It's a graduated approach. We can always do nasty things later if we don't get the sorts of compliance the world and thus also China requires. For 2 years now China has proven it is not led by suicidal clique of corruptionnaires. We are getting good or at least good enough cooperation from China regarding Russia. So I advocate for a graduated sensible approach.
The USA and China will grow toward each other despite their differences because their commonalities are greater and more important.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
At least one of the authors of "All You Need is Attention" is an ethnic Chinese person. I would estimate around 10% of the English language researchers in AI are ethnic Chinese, which is actually lower than I expected. I also think there is less Chinese influence in the current wave of generative ai (llms especially) because they don't process hanzi as outputs very well.
If you gave me just 10,000 dollars and 10 research associates i could get a decent deepfake disinformation factory going. However, to my eyes, Russia was far far more involved in malicious disinformation campaigns than China. While it was happening I presumed China was letting Russia take the lead and risks for such aggressive policies, but now that Russia's operators are dead or occupied in Ukraine I see no efforts by China to pick up the slack. Chinese attacks seem highly targeted at critical infrastructure or influence operations, pilfering state secrets and plans, including private enterprise blueprints.

CRYPTOGRAPHY
https://forgottenlanguages-full.forgottenlanguages.org/
Regularly posts varia in rare/obscure languages/dialects. Likely, it is gnostics. Gnostics believe this world is evil, a mistake, and the creator of this world is evil, and the true god Sophia (Wisdom) is beyond the perceptible. Anyway, it's a useful view for any oppressed or exploited minority.
Why it is interesting:
1. to have a language which only you and yours can understand. See: Navajo code talkers.
2. for testing various decryption / decoding algorithms. Here we go!
I ran the text through google translate, which failed to recognize the source language.
I then ran the text through a couple GPT models, which also failed to recognize the source language.
So I tried translate.yandex.org /FAIL
And so of course Baidu could would... WTF Baidu recognized this text as Turkish (likelier some obscure dialect of turkish and it looks really interesting!

The last line means "Driver's Mouth Received Poison". Which from a gnostic perspective could be simply a metaphor about the idea that the preachers of religion in this world are in fact preaching poison because they lack gnossis.
Since I don't think there's anything to this website beyond gnosticism and obscure languages to me, so far, the more interesting question is why Baidu succeeded at identifying the language where every other readily available internet resource failed?
