The US Defeat in Ukraine

There is no way to avoid the conclusion that 2023’s disastrous counteroffensive was a test of the USA’s ability to go toe-to-toe with Russia’s generals. Or that it was a test that they failed badly.

● Ukrainian, U.S. and British military officers held eight major tabletop war games to build a campaign plan. But Washington miscalculated the extent to which Ukraine’s forces could be transformed into a Western-style fighting force in a short period — especially without giving Kyiv air power integral to modern militaries.
● U.S. and Ukrainian officials sharply disagreed at times over strategy, tactics and timing. The Pentagon wanted the assault to begin in mid-April to prevent Russia from continuing to strengthen its lines. The Ukrainians hesitated, insisting they weren’t ready without additional weapons and training.
● U.S. military officials were confident that a mechanized frontal attack on Russian lines was feasible with the troops and weapons that Ukraine had. The simulations concluded that Kyiv’s forces, in the best case, could reach the Sea of Azov and cut off Russian troops in the south in 60 to 90 days.
● The United States advocated a focused assault along that southern axis, but Ukraine’s leadership believed its forces had to attack at three distinct points along the 600-mile front, southward toward both Melitopol and Berdyansk on the Sea of Azov and east toward the embattled city of Bakhmut.
● The U.S. intelligence community had a more downbeat view than the U.S. military, assessing that the offensive had only a 50-50 chance of success given the stout, multilayered defenses Russia had built up over the winter and spring.

The massive distance between the wargamed results and the real-world results demonstrate how absolutely inept the current state of US military wargaming is. Keep this in mind when contemplating what the military wargames predict about the inevitable conflict in the South China Sea and in the Middle East.

Definitely Bad News

There are four obvious things to be gleaned from this very long article about Nick Fuentes, who is an even nastier and more pathetic piece of work than I’d ever imagined.

  1. He is definitely fake, almost certainly gay, and there will very likely be a continuing series of underage sex scandals about him and those close to him.
  2. He’s obviously attempted to imitate the VFM with his RKD4NJF.
  3. His cartoon Catholicism runs more shallow than the average pedophile priest.
  4. He’s not very intelligent. Midwit at best.

“Take the loyalty pledge. I will kill, rape, and die for Nick Fuentes. Raise your right hand. Everybody raise your right hand. Raise your right hand, repeat after me: I will kill, rape, and die, for Nicholas J Fuentes.”

Nick repeatedly told his followers to take this pledge.

“I swear my undying allegiance to Nicholas J. Fuentes and the America First movement, so help me God. So help me God. Raise your hand and hold it high. I swear I will defend the white race; my nation, America; and my savior Jesus Christ. And, my loyalty to the America First movement, Nicholas J. Fuentes. So help me God.”

As I stated on last night’s Darkstream, Fuentes is the new breed of gatekeeper, the fake Christian Nationalist gatekeeper created to serve as controlled opposition to the Conservatism Inc. gatekeepers now that their gate was breached by the course of events and they are on the left side of the Overton Window rather than the right.

What is, at best, Nick’s sterility, and is much more likely something more twisted and dark, is an obvious Talmudic caricature of genuine Christian Nationalism. It’s an attempt to divert the generation of warriors for Christendom into a tangent of perversion and lies that will render them harmless to Clown World. What sort of Christian, what sort of nationalist, demands that anyone vow to commit rape for him?

Given his gift for rhetoric, it’s no surprise that Milo summarized it best:

Literally the only thing Catholic about Nick Fuentes is how soft he is on homosexual predators.

But God will not be mocked. The downfall of Nick Fuentes is certain. He can run away from me, from Owen Benjamin, and from other men, but he cannot run away from his accountability to God.

The Military War is Over

At least, that’s what Col. Macgregor thinks.

What I’m trying to say is that you have this picture on the one side of Ukrainian forces that are literally bled white, that are falling apart—not for lack of courage or any of that sort of thing. That’s nonsense. It’s simply impossible for them to mount an effective resistance against the onrushing Russians.

And then on the Russian side, you have this 21st century force, extraordinarily well-equipped, technologically savvy, essentially knocking drones out of the air with either electronic warfare or other means and moving not at high speed, but fast enough that the opposing force has no chance of recovering.

And right now they keep talking about the so-called Azov formations. I guess there’s something like four, five, six, seven, eight brigades left. I don’t know what their strength is. There’s probably not much. But these are the sort of diehard Nazis. They seem to be nowhere in the path of the Russians. I think they’ve beat a path elsewhere. So I’m not sure there’s really much in front of the advancing Russian forces.

So from a purely military standpoint, I would say this is the end of the war.

“Is it fair to say that Russia is close to achieving its military objectives in the war if those objectives are the acquisition of the four oblasts?”

“Oh, well that’s being achieved. But remember, the key thing for them has always been not so much capturing territory, but annihilating the Ukrainian forces on the ground. That’s the problem. So they’re very force-oriented in what they do. Now, we may see finally a buildup of forces in various places of 100,000 or more that are large enough and well-supplied enough that they can move deeper.

I think you’re going to see that in the direction of Zaporizhzhia. The bridges over the Dnipro are intact. Zaporizhzhia has real strategic value. If they decide to cross the river, they can go north or south from there—attacking north to Kyiv or south to Odessa. I think those are the decisions that they’re going to make now in the next couple of weeks. And we’re going to see more and more movement.

But the point is the Ukrainian force is almost annihilated. There are still some people left, and they’re not going to stop. As long as there’s anyone from these Azov units around, I would expect the Russians to plow forward. But securing the Russian areas, the Russian-speaking areas, yes—but then the next question is, what are you going to do to secure the outcome of the war? They’re going to be victorious militarily. That’s not enough. In other words, how do you come to an arrangement with somebody who is confident in the west that brings you the measure of security that you want?

All of this has been about protecting Russia. This was never about conquering territory and marching west into Poland or Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia. That’s all nonsense. And I think that’s in the back of people’s minds right now in Moscow.

The problem, of course, is that there is a very good chance that President Trump and his advisors don’t understand that the time for playing word games with Russia is over. If the USA can’t be a reliable security partner capable of keeping the Ukrainians and the Europeans under control, and there are a lot of reasons to believe it cannot, then Russia will do whatever it has to do in order to establish a sufficiently secure situation.

While I hope something useful will come of Friday’s meeting between the presidents, I am not very optimistic that anything substantive will do so. Although if the rumor of a shipment of an Israeli adrenochrome seized by Russians are factually based, one hopes that Putin will bring it to Trump’s attention.

Definitely Fake, Possibly Worse

Big Bear has a theory about Nick Fuentes:

A full breakdown of who Nick Fuentes is, who’s backing him and why. This is very detailed with clips of him describing all of my claims. The dude openly promotes pedophelia and honey pots his listeners. Over and over again.

I don’t think he’s a fed. It’s way way worse.

Now, I don’t pay enough attention to Nick Fuentes to have much of an opinion on him other than the fact that I know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that he is a coward, he is a liar, and he is a manufactured entity who is propped up by inorganic means. Who manufactured him and who props him up, I do not know, because I realized he was irrelevant and intellectually unserious back in 2019 and therefore saw no reason to start paying attention to anything he said or did. A search of this blog will confirm that there are very, very few references to him to be found here, aside from a mention of his 2020 banning by YouTube and a 2023 reference to the obvious similarities between Fuentes and the failed attempt to make Jon Zherka a thing.

You may recall the list of signs that an individual is controlled opposition and his “popularity” is being manufactured for him by the mainstream media, as in the cases of Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, Nick Fuentes, and Andrew Tate, just to name a few.

I will point out that one mistake commonly made by midwits is to assume that because A is attacking B, A cannot be in the employ of B. This assumption is fundamentally false, because everyone, on every side, is well-aware of the utility of being able to control the opposition. Hence the joke about never asking a “white nationalist” about the racial heritage of his significant other; it is safe to assume that most Internet Nazis are actually funded by AIPAC contributors in order to play the role of the over-the-top bad guys in order to provide the impetus for AIPAC’s endless campaign against anti-semitism.

This is Clown World, after all, where everything is literally fake and reliably gay.

But Owen’s instincts should not be ignored. Once he saw through the charade that is Jordan Peterson and understood the mechanism by which these frauds are manufactured and elevated, his natural ability to sniff out BS became applicable to the intellectual and ideological gatekeepers. I don’t know if he is correct about Fuentes being the puppet of an even darker group than the one to whom the Petersons and Shapiros are beholden, but if he is, we’ll eventually learn the truth.

One thing that separates both Big Bear and I from all the midwits who keep falling for these charlatans is that unlike them, we don’t listen for confirmation. It means nothing to either of us to hear that someone appears to agree with anything we say or with what we believe. What we listen for, what we pay attention to, are the anomalies. Because it’s always in the anomalies that the truth can ultimately be perceived.

Words are just words, and they mean less than nothing in the mouths of inversive liars to whom deceit is a virtue and fraud is a moral imperative. The only words that really matter are the Words of God, which informs us that we are to judge both men and their words by the fruit that they bear.

We are told that Nick Fuentes has 710k followers on X, which utterly dwarfs the 800 subscribers that Big Bear and I presently share on UATV. So I wonder, what fruit has been born of this massive following and the resources it implies?

I note that Nick Fuentes claimed to be “the most cancelled man” back in 2022, five years after I was banned from Twitter. I’m still banned. My wife is still banned. Fuentes has 709,900 followers there… And finally, the reason that I know he is a manufactured fraud is because manufactured frauds always run away from debate with me because they are not allowed to “platform” me.

Which, you will note, Nick Fuentes did, repeatedly, back in 2019. The problem is that I have always been, and will always be, far more relevant than the fraudulent little freak is, whether Owen is correct about him or not. It is an undeniable fact that more people around the world utilize the very words and ideas that I create than even know who he is. So if you’re a Nick Fuentes fan, remember that when challenged in the very manner he invited, he behaved exactly like Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro.

“I don’t want to debate him because it’s too boring, dude, it’s too boring. Everybody would think that would be exciting, but, I can tell you for a fact that there would be no entertainment value in debating somebody as boring and as slow as Vox Day. So the guy’s boring, and he’s irrelevant, you know, who’s watching the Darkstream? If he can pull more than 2000 viewers concurrent watching the Darkstream, maybe I’d consider him worth my time, but, I mean the guy’s a has-been, you could say he never was. You know, this is somebody who’s been floating around on the scene like writing books? And, what does he have to show for it? Infogalactic? A gay comic book? You know, all these like just stupid projects that don’t go anywhere.”

And in the event you’re dumb enough to believe that your binary thinking model is capable of addressing issues that intrinsically involve some elements of deception, please be advised that you should keep your irrelevant opinions to yourself.

Ukrainian People Want Surrender

But the illegitimate Kiev regime that rules over them at the behest of Clown World rejects the will of the people.

There’s some interesting and vital data which was released last week, just ahead of this coming Friday’s historic Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, which will focuse on finding a solution to ending the Russia-Ukraine war, though the US leader has just tempered expectations by calling it a “feel-out meeting”.

Gallup released a poll last Thursday which demonstrates a dramatic shift in Ukrainian public opinion, with 69% of the population now favoring a negotiated settlement to end the grinding war as soon as possible. General war weariness has long been a feature of the conflict, which has been raging for over 540 days at this point, and has taken at least tens of thousands or possibly hundreds of thousands of lives. Many Ukrainians fled abroad during the first year, and huge amounts of people are still internally displaced in the war-ravaged country.

The fresh Gallup poll found that just 24% support continuing the fight until achieving a military victory, which is a stark reversal from views held at the start of the war more than three years ago.

And yet this undefined goal of ‘pushing on until victory’ seems to remain the Zelensky government’s policy. The Ukrainian leader has shown no signs whatsoever of being willing to make significant compromise to find a lasting truce, including on territorial concessions.

There was a similar Gallup survey of the Ukrianian population closer to the beginnign war, in 2022. At that early point Gallup found that 72% of Ukrainians wanted to keep fighting, while just 22% supported peace talks.

But since then Russia’s strategy has become clear – to use its overwhelming manpower and artillery and missile supply to steadily grind down Ukraine’s dwindling manpower and resolve. It has become a war of attrition, and Russia has shown itself steady and prepared for such a long conflict. And this is probably why the same survey found that Ukrainians’ hopes for swift admission into either the EU or NATO are fading.

The more evident it becomes that Russia is ‘winning’ the war – the less that the West’s political establishment wants to risk, also amid fears of potential run-up to direct confrontation between NATO and Moscow.

Ukraine should have accepted the deal it was offered by Russia in 2022, the one that it foolishly turned down at the recommendation of Boris Johnson in the mistaken belief that NATO was able to successfully fight a land war with Russia. And it should have offered to surrender a year ago, when the inexorable math of military production had made it clear that attrition warfare heavily favored Russia and its allies in BRICS.

The best realistic outcome of this week’s meeting between the US and Russian presidents is for President Trump to agree to withdraw all military and financial support for both Ukraine and the EU and to announce his intention to ask the US Senate to withdraw from NATO. That’s really all that President Putin needs to force the delusional people running the EU NGO and the Kiev puppet regime to deal with the military reality they are presently facing.

The sooner this war ends, the sooner the great conflict between Clown World and the nations can proceed to the next theater.

The Marvel Method

The Dark Herald shares an insider’s description of the Marvel method of movie-making at Arkhaven.

Like Matt Shakman and the writers of #FantasticFour, I’ve sat in the ‘creative meetings’ at @MarvelStudios. They’re horrible.

You basically sit in a room with Kevin Feige and Lou D’Esposito and try to pitch your movie while realizing Kevin just wants you to dictate his rushed thoughts. Victoria [Alonso] used to be in these, but Kevin and Lou had so mistreated her that in one of my #Blade meetings she just showed up with sugar cookies she’d baked to improve morale.

You’re told NOT to pitch ideas from the comics because Lou isn’t a big comic guy and it’ll turn him off.

You talk about craft, story, and characters only for Kevin and Lou to say ‘yeah well, all we need to do is make sure it’s fun.’

There’s no spark. There’s no vision. Marvel is a slaughterhouse factory where you watch fresh meat get spoiled as it slowly makes its way through the assembly gears of mediocre thinking — and this weird hatred for their own product.

It’s become increasingly obvious that they only got lucky with the original Iron Man – which really was only a great movie for the first 15 minutes – because Disney wasn’t involved at the time. It’s really remarkable how far they’ve been able to coast on less than 45 minutes total of genuinely good movie-making.

The Irrelevant EU

It’s really remarkable to see how the European Union is doubling down on its own irrelevance:

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has called for more pressure on Moscow ahead of the summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump.

Foreign ministers of the bloc’s member states held an urgent video-conference on Monday, after it was announced that the Russian and US leaders will meet face-to-face in Alaska on August 15 to discuss the Ukraine conflict and other issues.

Following the discussions, Kallas issued a post on X to offer the bloc’s “support for US steps that will lead to a just peace” between Moscow and Kiev.

“Transatlantic unity, support to Ukraine and pressure on Russia is how we will end this war and prevent future Russian aggression in Europe,” she insisted.

Transatlantic unity, support to Ukraine, and pressure on Russia has been the entire US-UK-EU strategy since February 2022. It has completely and comprehensively failed. How is more of the same going to do anything but ensure the total destruction of Ukraine, which is absolutely unnecessary given that all Russia really wants is the five regions it has already annexed, plus Odessa?

Words. All these people have is words. Why did anyone ever pay any attention to them?

Crime is a Race Problem

St. George splits from Baton Rouge and within a year no crime, safe streets, budget surplus, working schools, investment coming in, and peace. This is the future.

As I’ve previously demonstrated from FBI statistics, gun crime is also a race problem, not a gun problem. And the advent of widespread AI means that society’s ability to conceal this through rhetoric, equalitarian posturing, and social pressure is being eliminated.

As nations from Britain to Sweden have discovered, immigration means crime, especially violence and rape.

Civil rights, integration, and anti-racism means crime and a dysfunctional society. Segregation means peace and a functional society.

Everywhere around the world, people will choose the latter. It is inevitable. After all, where do you think all those homogeneous societies came from in the first place?

Ukrainian Defenses Collapse

Hal Turner is reporting news that should show up soon on Simplicius and elsewhere if true:

There is an unexpected development in the Russia-Ukraine Conflict: The Ukrainian Defense has collapsed at the city of Pokrovsk.

Ukraine military is now sending urgent messages to the townspeople telling them they have “less than two days” to pack up and evacuate.

The same is happening in Kupyansk – Seversk and soon in Konstantinovka..

It appears that Russians will take all 4 settlements more or less at the same time; basically merging 4 operational crisis sectors into a strategic disaster for Kiev.

Russia has made a major breakthrough in the Ukrainian defense on the Pokrovsk axis!

Ukraine simply does not have enough people to hold the lines anymore. Russians find a weak spot and can just drive ahead.

In the Dobropillia area, Russian troops have broken through the front to a depth of more than 11 kilometers, finding weak spots in the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ defense. Such huge advances previously were unheard of.

It appears the long-expected breakthrough appears to have taken place, which no doubt accounts for President Trump’s abruptly-compressed timeframe to meet with President Putin later this week.

UPDATE: Looks legit. From a UFA commander’s public tweet addressed to Zelensky.

The front line as a stable line of combat does not actually exist. Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad are almost surrounded. Kostiantynivka is half-surrounded. The enemy is advancing towards Kramatorsk and Druzhkivka.

Mediocrity Rules

People are noticing that the best and brightest don’t tend to be meaningfully employed these days:

Every smart person I know is failing

My brother who was the valedictorian of our high school is unemployed. My best friend who skipped grades and went to MIT for math is a beach bum now in Florida working at a bar. I’ve personally made enough money to quit society if I moved to a cheap college town and I am seriously considering it, I do not see the point in working and I am totally burned out.

Meanwhile the most mid people I have met throughout my life are rising to director positions at companies, going on crazy vacations, becoming influencers, having families. Truly every really bright person I know who studied something serious at a good school is now unemployed and working on ar; esoteric passion project no one will ever care about.

Has it always been this way or is society especially cooked right now?

It’s not just the communications gap, which was always a problem for those with 130+ IQs. The so-called “meritocracy” was very short-lived, and lasted about as long as it took Clown World to take control of the Ivy League and then bar the doors against the more objectively meritorious whites and Asians who dutifully, but naively, swallowed the rhetoric about an educational meritocracy.

That was more than 30 years ago. Now, the need to protect the favored mediocrities from their intellectual superiors has pervaded every aspect of society, aided by the diversity, equality, and inclusivity directives that ensure no one who is capable of seeing through the nonsensical corporate narratives is in a position to challenge them.

I became aware that I was being banned from things as early as 1994, when I was directly informed that I would never be permitted to have my work appear on the editorial page of a newspaper. That ban proved to be prophetic, as despite being nationally syndicated, precisely three of my articles ever appeared on an editorial page, and one of them was only because I was deemed to be the writer at the newspaper most capable of understanding the Unabomber’s manifesto.

So, subsequent bannings by the SF genre publishers (2005), SFWA and the Hugo Awards (20013-2015), Twitter, Indiegogo, YouTube, and BackerKit have hardly been surprising. It is the fate that will eventually be met by all superior intellects who refuse to take Clown World’s ticket. If they haven’t gotten around to you yet, it’s simply because you are insufficiently threatening to their morass of mediocrities.

But climb a little higher, show a little more potential, enjoy a little more success, and you, too, will suddenly find the doors closing in your face, and watch as those who are obviously less accomplished are turned into manufactured “successes”.

This is not a complaint. The world is the way it is now because the wicked openly rule it. But, as has happened many times before, they have overplayed their hand and their world is collapsing under the weight of their own incompetence. The subversive never seem to understand that they are nothing more than parasites, and that they cannot create, they cannot improve, and worst of all, they cannot even maintain a functional society capable of surviving over time.

The evil has not yet dared to show its true face. The USA has not yet erected its pyramids to their evil gods, and, God willing, it never will. And our promise of victory lies not only in the Word of God, but in the ancient ruins stretching from Africa to South America that show the way in which their doom is certain and absolute even at the moments of their greatest self-proclaimed triumphs.
