Day 522 of the 10 day special military operation. Moscow targeted again as Kyiv steps up drone attacks inside Russia.

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/07/30/world/moscow-city-drone-attack-sunday-russia-ukraine-intl-hnk/index.html
    When was it claimed that the SMO was for 10 days? Just like the Kiev in three days bullshit, it is invented by Western media. They invent a claim and then call Russia weak for failing to achieve X or Y. Meanwhile, the world and its dog can see that the slow grinding SMO is weakening NATO whilst Russia only grows in strength.
     Some claims that were made and have turned out to be the complete opposite of the truth include the repeatedly made claim over many months that Russia were running out of (insert weapon here). This was amplified by all Western media and governments. It is probably why the 10 day SMO claim was made. So confident were they in their "intelligence assessments" on Russian weapon inventories and production capacity that they imagined that Russia needed it wrapped up quick.
     As it turns out, Russia have seemingly endless stocks and production capacity and can sustain for much longer than NATO who have been caught completely unprepared for what is now unfolding. NATO along with their proxies have been humiliated.
     The world is changing and power is shifting whether the overlords and denizens of NATOstan like it or not. There is nothing that NATO can do to stop the inevitable power shift. The conflict is prolonged and fed by NATO to put off the inevitable day of reckoning. Western institutions are creaking, EU, NATO, IMF etc. and will not survive in their current form once the defeat of NATO/Ukraine is complete.
      There never was Kiev in 3 days or 10 day SMO. There only ever was, the demilitarisation and de-Nazification(a euphemism for de-NATO-fy-same thing anyway) of Ukraine. The goal actually set by Russia(not the made up NATO shit) is proceeding to plan.

     The source of the 3 days to take Kiev, 3 day SMO is none other than well known Russian General ??? and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley. It was the US, not Russia, who expected a swift SMO leading to the fall of Kiev in three days. It should be obvious to all by now that Russia flipped the script on the US, not vice versa. Russia would have preferred a short SMO but were prepared for a long attritional war. US couldn't see beyond the 3 day script and were unprepared for the attritional war that Russia suckered them into.

General Mark Milley is a "well known Russian General"?  That's news to me. What extraordinary
sequence of events transpired in Tankie fantasy world to allow this situation?

Anyway, it was Lukashenko who said on a televised speech "This war will last a maximum of three or four days"

     What do you think the "Huh" face meant? I know who Mark Milley is. He is the source of Kiev in 3 days narrative. Putin nor any Russian spokesperson said it. It is an entirely made up "goal" of the Russians, made by US officials. When they don't achieve the thing that they never set out to achieve, dimwits like you can believe that Russia have failed. Propaganda 101. You're too stupid to even recognise irony.

One thing i did see coming and it's the way Drones have played a critical role in the war, it's going to have a massive impact on the pleasure Drone flying in the UK and the rest of the World.  Changes will be made and iv'e recently heard they are being looked into by the CAA,  Civil Aviation Authority who control the air space in the UK.  My fear is that the sub 250g Drone with a camera the most popular Drone could be moved out of the open Cat into a more restictive Cat?  The sub 250g Drone with a camera has very few restrictions except flying over Prisons and airports.

Well that didn't take long..

I lost my bet though Roch, i said he would fall out of a window.  Don't get me wrong, i have a feeling that if Russia or China was encroaching terrority around USA they wouldn't like it.  i don't like wars mate, i always feel for the Families left behind waiting for that dreaded knock on the door with bad news, it's horrible feeling, we had it with son in Law in Para's in Iraq and Afganistan and Macedonia.
