IGOR STRELKOV recent letter
- Peskov's statement about the "telegram" — "I don't think..." — could have been omitted. It doesn't think. It can, but it doesn't want to. And for this fortunate ability to voice the president's will, it has been nominated. Whether the president can think is a separate and even slightly extremist question — of course he can, and of course he thinks. — It's just unclear what about.
- "Kirill Dmitriev's Package." To put it simply, the notorious "Spirit of Anchorage" can be illustrated (based on the contents of the "package") with a scene from the film "Beware of the Car":
— "The investigator needs a bribe!" (I think so?)
— "What are you saying! He won't take it!"
— "You need to give a lot! Then he'll take it!"
Having assessed their "successes and opportunities," our outstanding geopolitical strategists decided that the simplest and most effective way to "persuade the US to a deal on terms acceptable (to the Kremlin)" was to simply "bribe him." And a lot! — Of course, the long-standing and well-established experience of "resolving all issues" within the Soviet (and later Russian) "nomenklatura" plays a role. And so, Kiryusha Dmitriev ("all so refined and European") shyly approaches Ostap Bender, Donald Dzhonovich, and (blushing?) thrusts a "package" into his hand. It's worth 12 trillion. And he whispers passionately in his ear: "Donnie! This is for you and your Hasidic friends! Together, and only we, will we be the ones to 'saw off' these fantastic budgets! Just please make sure our Kyiv partners don't offend us anymore and give us at least a little of what we haven't been able to take from them in four years!" "Otherwise, the people won't understand us, and then it will be difficult for us!" (Well, something like that...)
"Friend Donald," understandably, was salivating—a 12 trillion "jackpot" was no joke! However, he didn't grow up in a St. Petersburg back alley or graduate from Moscow State University's law school, and therefore knows how to take the facts into account: there are countless contenders for the Russian pie (to divide and devour it), and many of them have "spent heavily" on achieving their coveted "feast." And while they certainly don't compare to the United States in power and significance (either individually or collectively), they won't allow themselves to be "simply and casually" screwed. Especially since Donald Dzhonovich himself (for tactical reasons) has (personally!) let go of the main lever of control over the so-called "Ukraine"—the financial one. He has forced his European partners to "pay for everything and support everything." The partners "groan and pay," but they "won't let theirs slip away" now. A bribe is certainly good, but will it be possible to use it? And will it be possible to force the "partners" to fulfill the "bribe-giver's" demands? — That's very doubtful... So far, it's not working out at all. (And wouldn't it be better to spit on the "Kirillov package" and be satisfied with our own ("still a lion's share") "piece of the pie," following the previous strategy of completely destroying Russia?
Unfortunately for Trump (and some others), the Hasidim are not only not the only financial power in the world, but even among Jews they have competitors. Therefore, the "Kirill Dmitriev package" will suffer the same fate as the bribes that the mayor Skvoznik-Dmukhanovsky gave to Mr. Khlestakov in the comedy "The Government Inspector": Khlestakov will take the money, promise to marry the daughter, etc., etc., and then... "nothing"—because all this is UNREAL. But the Kremlin doesn't understand this. Because they don't want to understand.
- And while our brilliant geopoliticians "butter up" Trump, other "partners" continue to busily and leisurely go about their business. "Strangle" our economy. — The "20th sanctions package" may not be as impressive in terms of amounts as "Kirill Dmitriev's package," but it has one crucial advantage: IT WILL BE IMPLEMENTED—our "allies" have the strength, means, and resources to do so. And "we won't be short of it"—especially considering the likely "collapse" (in the near future) of the "Southern Export Route" through Iran.
I won't draw general conclusions now—I'm already being "accused of lack of enthusiasm" time and again, and even "promised an extension of my stay in a sanatorium after the expiration of my current voucher." However, our "prospects" are bright...
Sincerely, I await your letters, I.V. Girkin

If Russia announces anything it is very close to 100% chance it's a lie.Russia says it has handed over 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers' bodies

If Ruthless Ryan announces anything, it is very likely 90% a lie.
The Russian economy did not fall in the summer of 2025 as he predicted.

While Ukrainian Army soldiers are tired of fighting 4 years non-stop (no rotations), Russian Army soldiers come back from rotations and R&Rs refreshed and ready to fight. 2026 should be a good year for Russia with thousands of additional new troops. Ukrainian men are fleeing the country or deserting the Army. As always, western media will not mention anything negative about the Ukrainian Army.
