SPECTACULAR structural analysis of the NSS by my dear friend Diego. Including the motivations of NSS conceptualizer Colby - a certified Sinophobe. And why the Western Hemisphere now becomes THE battleground.

Absolute Must Read.

🇷🇺 🇺🇸❌🇪🇺 Sergey Lavrov called the aggressive actions of the European Union the main threat in the world at the moment - TASS

According to him, the aim of the new US national security strategy is to put Europe in its place and prevent it from imposing its own rules.

Western headlines are screaming that Ukraine has “encircled” Kupyansk city… a glorified town, selling it as a nightmare for Moscow. But this is not a battlefield report. It is narrative management, timed precisely to negotiations in Berlin. Kupyansk is not Stalingrad. It is not Kursk. It is not even a decisive urban fight. It is a ruined settlement on the Oskol, a former logistics node reduced to rubble, where control is measured not in flags but in fire control, drone dominance, and whether men can be rotated without being killed.

And when even Reuters couches claims as “unverified,” you know what that means. When it hedges, pauses, and inserts distance between claims and confirmation, it is signaling that fog is being weaponised. What exists on the ground is block-by-block ruin fighting, contested neighbourhoods like Yubileynyy, clashes near Mirovoye and Radkovka, infiltration attempts, temporary interdictions. Battalion-scale collisions between exhausted units in a place that barely functions as a city.

The unit scale tells the truth the headlines obscure. Kupyansk has never hosted a force capable of deciding a front. Within the urban core, the Russian presence has been limited and exposed, with little time to dig in deeper, the town’s ruins making sustained fortification difficult, relying on fire control rather than secured occupation. With thousands tied down protecting the flanks and barely a battalion inside the city itself, Ukrainian assaults are not sweeping counteroffensives but concentrated pushes by swarms of worn formations, often built from forcibly mobilised men with minimal training, starving and thin on ammunition, cannibalized from fronts like Sumy, and thrown into an urban graveyard to manufacture leverage.

This is not manoeuvre warfare. It is attritional contact deliberately framed as momentum to serve a media and political narrative rather operational gain. What matters is that the map is not the territory. In this war, a coloured overlay often marks a brief window of drone interdiction, hours, not control. Fire control can deny movement, but without sustainment it cannot secure ground. Fire control without sustainment does not produce breakthroughs. It produces graveyards. Ukraine has been forced by its Western patrons into too many of them already.

Kupyansk does not change the war unless it becomes part of a broader operational rollback and it won't. Otherwise, it is a bad PR bargaining chip, paid for in blood.

While cameras fixate on Kupyansk, the real pressure story runs elsewhere, across a widening arc Western coverage fragments to prevent pattern recognition. West of Russian liberated Seversk, claims and denials continue, but the geometry is clear: Ukrainian forces are stretched thin, defending ground without strategic depth. Around encircled Lyman, the contest is about lines of communication and Ukranian reserve erosion, not symbolism.

Central to the Donbass arc, Pokrovsk and Mirnograd matter not because of names, but because they anchor logistics. Russian control here forces a stark contrast in how the war is being fought. Ukraine is expending irreplaceable manpower to manufacture moments, brief tactical actions designed to win optics for a day. Russia, by contrast, is trading space, fire control, and logistics denial for outcomes that compound over time. One side is managing headlines. The other is managing the war.

To the south, the picture is more dangerous still. Around Gulyaypole, pressure is persistent and cumulative, not theatrical. And beyond it lies the real anxiety Europe refuses to discuss openly, the slow, grinding push toward Zaporozhye city. This is not a sprint. It is a methodical march Westward. If current trends hold, Zaporozhye can be operationally threatened, even encircled in less than six months. That outcome would dwarf any skirmish in the small town of Kupyansk.

Part 2/2 👇

Part 2/2 — Part 1 👆This is where time asymmetry becomes decisive. Russia is fighting a time-positive war: industrial scaling and real capacity that dwarfs the fiat, paper-tiger illusory capacity of NATO; deep manpower reserves and a level of internal cohesion sufficient to sustain a long campaign. Ukraine, by contrast, is fighting a time-negative war, with catastrophic demographic collapse, mass emigration, forced connoscription, and shrinking public consent. Every Ukrainian media counteroffensive now borrows against a future that no longer exists to replenish it.

This is one of the real reasons behind Trump’s push. Less sentiment. Geometry. Timelines. Arithmetic. Washington understands that delay only makes the endgame worse, militarily and politically for project Ukraine. Europe understands this too. But Europe cannot admit it without confessing its humiliation.

So Europe clings to suicidal optics. It inflates Kupyansk. It sells illusory leverage. And it sacrifices Ukrainians to buy time, not for victory, but for narrative survival.

Here is the truth Europe works hardest to bury beneath headlines and choreographed resolve: this war no longer reflects the will of the Ukrainian people, and, in truth, it only ever did through manufactured consent that has now collapsed. Not marginally. Not ambiguously. Overwhelmingly. Even after years of saturation messaging, censorship, emergency laws, and relentless narrative conditioning, roughly four-fifths of Ukrainians now demand peace. It is devastating precisely because it persists despite one of the most intensive information campaigns the modern West has ever mounted.

Instead, men are dragged from streets and their homes, beaten, bundled into vans, forced into uniforms, and sent to the front. Videos of violent connoscription squads no longer shock because they are the tragic norm.

This is not mobilisation. It is cowardly and punitive coercion, the final refuge of elites who lack legitimacy but demand sacrifice. It is the politics of cowardice, where those who made the decisions never bear the cost, and those who pay the price were never given a choice. These wars are always fought with other people’s sons, for objectives that dissolve under scrutiny, while the architects retreat behind speeches, security details, and moral posturing.

When a state must kidnap its own citizens to sustain a war, it has crossed the final moral line: it is no longer defending a nation, because it never was, but cannibalising one, deliberately sacrificing its people as a tip of the spear against a stronger Russia, to shield the reputations, fortunes, and careers of elites who will never bleed, never fight, and never answer for the ruin they leave behind.

Washington shattered Europe’s strategic autonomy years ago and quietly handed the bill to the continent. NATO expansion without strategy. Economic warfare without insulation. Energy sabotage without a contingency secured. The result was inevitable... Accelerated deindustrialisation, inflation, social fracture, political fragility. Europe emerged poorer, weaker, and strategically irrelevant, yet still clinging to the language of moral authority.

Rather than confront this collapse, Europe chose the refuge of absolutism. Negotiation became heresy. Compromise became betrayal. Peace became appeasement. Diplomacy itself was criminalised, because diplomacy invites the most dangerous question of all. What was this for?

And that question cannot be answered without consequences. Because peace does something war cannot. War suspends politics. Peace resurrects accountability.

Europe does not fear losing the war as much as it fears surviving it with memory intact.

That is why the war must continue. Not to save Ukraine, but to postpone reckoning, at the hands of Europeans.

Which brings us back to Kupyansk.

Kupyansk is not a battlefield turning point. It is a tombstone. Not only for the men buried beneath its rubble, but for Europe’s moral credibility itself.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Europe presented a plan for security guarantees for Ukraine: Multinational forces and the path to the EUThe plan includes 6 key points - Ukrainian media:

🔻Permanent military support for Ukraine. The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) will maintain a strength of up to 800,000 servicemen in peacetime.

🔻A multinational force "Ukraine" under European leadership. It will be formed within the framework of the "Coalition of the Willing" with US support - for restoring the AFU, protecting the airspace and maritime security, with possible actions within Ukraine.

🔻A ceasefire control mechanism. Monitoring under US leadership with international participation - for early warning of attacks, recording violations, and responding to them.

🔻Legally binding security guarantees. In the event of a new attack - the obligation to respond with military, intelligence, economic, and diplomatic measures.

🔻Funding for reconstruction, trade agreements, and compensation for damage from Russia. Russian assets in the EU remain frozen.

🔻Support for Ukraine's accession to the EU.

❗️Nice joke

🇪🇺🇺🇦The statement of European leaders regarding the negotiations in Berlin shows that Europe continues to advocate for the failure of the negotiations and the continuation of the war - Konstantin Bondarenko, Ukrainian political analyst and opposition member.

"The points about the need to maintain an 800,000-strong Ukrainian army (why? At whose expense?) under the condition of sending "volunteers" from the "Coalition of the Willing" to Ukraine - this means deploying a large military contingent of NATO states near Russia's borders, essentially creating military bases (without the status of such), and in the context of escalating militaristic sentiments in Europe itself - creating a springboard for the resumption of hostilities in the near future.

It's easy to predict that Russia will not agree to this condition. It would be very strange if the USA agreed to such a step.

That is, we are dealing with a de facto sabotage of the negotiation process by European politicians - while declaring that they "welcome progress in the negotiations"".

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Neither de jure nor de facto do we recognize Donbass as Russian - overdue Zelensky after negotiations with the EU and the USA on the "peace plan".

Other ramblings from the drug addict:

🔻The US is seeking compromise approaches and proposes a free economic zone format, but this does not mean management by Russia. The issue of territories remains one of the key ones, and there is still no consensus on it;

🔻Today or tomorrow, we will finalize the documents. Then, the US will hold consultations with the Russians in the coming days, after which they will consult with the US President. After that, our teams will meet in the US soon. I think it might even be over the weekend;

🔻The US wants a quick end to the war, but for us, quality is important. If speed and quality coincide, we're in favour;

🔻I believe we are very close to strong security guarantees. Where there is a fifth amendment, as in NATO, that is, a mirror fifth amendment for everyone in the Alliance;

🔻The US and Ukraine support Merz's idea of a Christmas truce, but the decision depends on 'Russia's political will';

🔻The reparation loan or other use of Russia's frozen assets is a financial guarantee of Ukraine's security. There are two scenarios:

1️⃣ In the event of the war ending, the funds will go towards the country's reconstruction;

2️⃣ In the event of continued aggression, Ukraine expects €40-45 billion in annual aid for defense and security;

🔻In the first version of the peace plan, there were certain points that I don't want to comment on, but it's important that they're not there today;

🔻If there's a ceasefire, there will be elections. We need 60-90 days of ceasefire to hold elections in Ukraine.

Russia is unlikely to get access to its immobilized assets in Europe in the foreseeable future, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said.

“We have made our first decision and it is that Russia’s assets will be frozen in Europe for a long time,” he told a joint news conference with Vladimir Zelensky in Berlin. “It means that neither Russia’s Central Bank nor the Russian government will have access to these assets in the foreseeable future.”
