The War of Attrition
After the Yom Kippur October War of 1973, between 1974 and 1980 the Israelis faced low intensity long term conflict called “the war of attrition”. Inaccurately attributed, but rough enough for most xistorians.
Today, supposedly, Ukraine is locked into a “stalemate” a “war of attrition”.
First, attritional warfare does occur in history. World War I is the most famous but not the only example. One could argue that rather than a guerilla war the rebel colonies in 1776 were in an attritional war. In attrtional war the objective is bloody brutal and takes time: the goal is to reduce the enemy’s fighting capacity by grinding them down, mulching their soldiers, wrecking their industry. Attritional war is the opposite of a quick clean perfect victory.
In a perfect victory the war ends quickly and the victorious warring party winds up effectively seizing the enemy resources or even weaponry.
In an attritional war, there will be nothing left to seize because it has all been destroyed in the grinding long term destruction of all。 That is attritional war.
From a cynical perspective, there is nothing wrong with an attritional war in Ukraine from the perspective of those not a party to the war. The Russians are getting mulched, ground into the dirt, their combat power is consistently being destroyed. A brutal vicious political perspective, whether from Beijing, Paris, Berlin, or even Washington, would look at all that destruction and be quietly glad at the complete and permanent destruction of the armed forces of the so-called “Russian” Federation. China benefits because it no longer faces a threat from Russia, just as would Paris or Berlin. But we are so much more than that, me and mine and i will punch your baby in the face if you disagree. Non deadly force is superior to deadly, non? Because if necessary, we will make you pay in blood for your profitable cynicism. You see? I have Nothing to lose.
I do not want a vicious bloody victory, the peace of the grave, where the Ukrainians, who are NOT the aggressors are predated and destroyed taking down the enemy of all mankind, Vladimir Putin! It would be victory, horrific.
I do believe the Principals also want something better than cheap blood drenched grain and cheap blood drenched oil no? After all, dead slaves are worthless, no?
So, there will not be mere attritional warfare. Instead, there will be
surprise! I am not a blabbermouth. ) 我让你猜猜!
I presume the rest of you know that Putin gave Iran the green light to tell Hamas to attack Israel, right? Guess where that will lead. )
Germany, 1943: Losing a War to Win the Peace:
Currently, Russia is on track to lose the war and lose the peace. Like a great headless lizard gena, stupid Rus has yet to figure out — its head is already chopped off, it will Die. It can do damage in its death throes! But the “Russian” Federation is history.
Who picks up which pieces is still open!
As I predicted here on OSINTBRIEF.substack.com:
Dear Crapitalists. You have to square-off against an opponent who wishes to trade and invest with you and wishes to out-compete you economically. Your children will be richer as opposed to dead. OMG lol so much bad so very weevil whar is doggo WHAR!?!
But about those other motherfucking opponents me and mine are mulching? 当然我支持工党。Why? Because Vladimir Pizdets, that’s why!
Must I remind you of China’s promise to seek only peaceful reunification with Taiwan (because they know invading Taiwan would kill only Chinese)? Apparently! What if they mean it? Chinese people are not stupid. You can and will deter them from invading Taiwan because, duh, they dont want to kill the other Chinese. Tell me about your national family?
As Predicted Here:
History!
“It’s hard to control a people if their founders are thugs.”
NCS? How will you take my Orders?
p.s. Don’t do drugs m’kay? Don’t get high on your own supply!
The State first emerged in China with elective kings as extensions of the family: as state power grew the first elective kingships were replaced by hereditary clan Kings and then hereditary clan Emperors.
Learn from your opponent, one way or The Other…
As predicted here: increased cross-straits cultural relations.

Learn Chinese!
Learning Chinese has political applications. For example!
Hostages in Gaza: 1. Confucian governance principles would have served Russia better than their batshit crazy war plans. 2. “see stars in broad daylight”=missiles and rockets. 3. sky rains blood=people dying therefrom 4. sons do not obey fathers, younger brothers do not obey elder brothers = command structures completely disrupted, RUSSIA IS FUCKED.
Sometimes your counterpart gives you free cribs from third party intercepts. If I were working on deciphering Russian cipher traffic I would grab onto the pinyin here and run it through cyrillic. Note: sorry I can’t give you cribs or intercepts in Arabic or Hebrew, not my Abteilung.
More applications! How to use Window (okno) in Russian? Simple! Throw the fucker out it and then tell everyone he committed suicide.
China has better ideas than that.
How to use “product” in Russian? Wear gloves, smear nerve agent novichok on object, give to victim.
Once again, China has other better ideas.
Religion
Well at least now I know why they call 哈佛大学

I am not learning Hangul but you might be. I was surprised however by the number of cognates, which are at least 80%! I presume this must be thanks to loan words from Chinese. Whether thanks to loan words or a common genetic origin in pre-history Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese are cognate languages, even if “only” thanks to so many loan words. Korean seems closest to Chinese, Japanese seems furthest, but I am still learning those three (VJK).
Basically one purpose of rhythmic chanting of words you do not understand is to empty your head of whatever nonsense is bothering you, just to basically relax and get some perspective on the typical daily bullshit. Lots of people are only two willing to obscure religious practices, I do not really understand why. Religious instruction of any form can and should be comprehensible to a literal 12 year old. I am not above developing a Mahayana-Sufi mix if I thought it would build world peace, don’t think I would not do it I totally would.

The Grand Anti-Fascist Coalition. Happy Birthday, Superthug. 103!
Vladimir Putin is a Fascist. He hates Jews, Homosexuals, and continues Hitler’s genocide of Slavs. He is a mass murderer, and leads a mafia state. You know what to do. 毛主席注意万岁!If you like my results, do not complain about how I get them.
