Ukraine - Russia Conflict

The front lines have been stagnant sense last weekend, with Russia still haemorrhaging troops like a vagina on a monthly.

I also spelt 'since' wrong. Also true sadly.

Medvedev sporting new Tsar look. Probably not a good idea given the current situation and the historical precedent.

  • Russian attacks are almost at a standstill on the whole front
  • Wagner withdrawn almost everywhere except north of Bakhmut
  • the Russians are making some progress north of Bakhmut, but the crisis was in the south this week with a Ukrainian unit surrounded on the heights of Klyvilishka the key village southwest of Bakhmut. It appears that this unit was cleared by a counter attack from Ivanivske. The Ukrainians were short of ammunition and the Russians threw a reconstituted DPR unit of mobiks into the fray, in the end the Ukrainians suddenly got a lot of ammunition and gained the upper hand but I don't think they kept control of this famous hill.
  • the counter attack on the axis of kremnina has stalled. The Ukrainians note that the mobiks of the VDV units are several notches above the rest of the Russian infantry.
  • Russian losses have increased quite a bit in recent months.
  • The Russian strategic reserve continually supplies the front with replenished units of mobiks that still have the bite of the Russians in attack... But tactical competence and leadership are lacking. At least the Russian units are turning at the front, that's a progress.
  • Russian heavy artillery has problems of reco and loses effectiveness and is less able to neutralize fortified positions
  • the Russians are supplying several fronts but are exhausting their reserves perhaps more quickly than expected, a second mobilization could take place as early as spring if the dynamics are maintained?
  • Bakhmut is so symbolic that it captures all the attention, but the front between Kharkiv and Svatove is more important operationally. This front does not receive the necessary means for a Russian breakthrough, partly because of Bakhmut, which is an operational ball and chain.
  • In principle, we will remain on the current model until the fall of Bakhmut (end of February? Beginning of March? Hard to evaluate), and after that? No reserves or management for the "big offensive" and then soon the thaw.

That's not what the numbers say to me. At the current rate Russia with be close to 400,000 KIA by next January. And all that could be prevented with just one KIA, Putin.

Finally the voice of truth. All French members should read this:


French historian Emmanuel Todd predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union. Today he sees the United States in decline. France is laughed at and the British act headlessly. Worst of all are the Germans, who have become targets for the Americans. Russia, on the other hand, is doing better than many Western observers would like to think. – Jürg Altwegg

Weltwoche: Thank you, cher Emmanuel, for agreeing to this interview. You haven’t spoken out in public lately.
Click to expand...

Emmanuel Todd: I was in Japan where a book of mine was published. It is a bestseller that does not have an original French edition. Its subject is the war in Ukraine. In France, I didn’t get involved in the debates. I’m giving you the first interview because you write in German. This war is about Germany.
Click to expand...

Weltwoche: Before we talk about the Ukraine war, I am interested in your assessment of a piece of news that was recently circulating: The world population has passed the eight billion mark. What does the demographer say about this number?
Click to expand...

Todd: It doesn’t scare me. What is worrying is that birth rates are declining in all developed countries. In Germany and Japan they have long been below average: 1.4 and 1.5 children per woman. This is not enough for the renewal of the population. Now the other countries have also fallen back to this level. In the US, a woman had two children, now there are 1.6; in China 1.3.

Weltwoche: At the same time, the world population is growing.
Click to expand...

Todd: We have a difficult time with maybe ten billion people ahead of us. But it won’t last long. The demographic depression is really serious. Taiwan and Korea produce most of the semiconductors in the world. In South Korea, women give birth to 0.8 children. In the most productive industrialized countries, working people are collapsing. In China, the factory of the world, the workforce will decline by 35 percent over the next twenty years. This is one of the reasons for inflation.

Weltwoche: And the population explosion in Africa?
Click to expand...

Todd: Maybe before long people will be very happy that there is an African workforce.

Weltwoche: In 1976 you predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union due to demographic developments. What role does demographics play in the war in Ukraine?
Click to expand...

Todd: As in the first two world wars, it’s about the balance between the great powers. The difference: Back then we were dealing with a demographic expansion, today with a depression. For a century the population had increased: by 110 percent in Britain, 160 percent in Germany, 166 percent in Russia and 525 percent in the USA. In France, growth was limited to 16 percent. The country was a leader in the automobile, aircraft, film and nuclear industries.

The important question is: how can a society believe that it could have been the Russians? We are dealing here with an inversion of possible reality. That’s a lot worse. The study of such a society is fascinating. I’m writing a book about it now. It will be my last. My work as an author began with the essay on the collapse of the Soviet Union. I want to close it with a work of reason on the third world war. I reject the prevailing loss of reality, from which Europeans in particular suffer, and I want to try to understand it. One of my hypotheses is the collapse of the Protestant world.

Weltwoche: The loss of reality distinguishes Europe from the Russians?

Todd: Also from the Americans, who know very well what they are doing. Their idea of power is clear and cynical. In order to assert their interests, they have repeatedly waged wars – also instigated them. You can very well understand Putin. The Russians also talk about power relations, but their language is defensive. The Europeans rant about peace and the spread of their humanistic values without an army. They have lost geopolitical thinking. Between the offensive strategy of the Americans and the defensive strategy of the Russians, the Europeans are in a breathtaking state of mental confusion. This applies particularly to Germany.


thrown me into a deep crisis of meaning. I can tell you this because we have known each other for so long. I always thought we, the French, were fools. And I consoled myself with England, where three of my grandchildren live. I studied in Cambridge, it’s my spiritual home. But today England is a confused country in decline. Its press and government indulge in a war delirium such as cannot even be observed in Germany. With everything I’ve written over the past few decades, including the Iraq war, I’ve never once criticized the British with a single word. Now they drive me crazy. Also, on the Iraq war, I have never criticized the British with a single word. Now they drive me crazy.

Weltwoche: How do you see the world of tomorrow?
Click to expand...

Todd: The West has lost its values and is in a spiral of self-destruction. Europe falls back under American rule. Because of its weak demographics, China will not rule the world, but India will rise to become a superpower. Russia is in the process of redefining itself as a culturally conservative, technologically advanced superpower. But despite defending traditional family values and fighting the LGBT movement, its birth rate isn’t improving. That means it’s already in the same metaphysical crisis as the West. In Ukraine they are at war with each other. If they is not stopped, everyone will lose. – Die Weltwoche, 10 January 2023
