  1. The decision to throw these specialists into the trenches signals more than just manpower shortages—it’s the death knell of Ukraine’s capacity to sustain itself as a viable military player. If the specialists who once repaired helicopters and aircraft are now clutching rifles in mud-soaked trenches, who’s left to keep what remains of Ukraine’s military equipment operational? The symbolism here is rich: a country whose leaders sold their people on promises of NATO-backed strength is now so depleted that it’s cannibalizing its own critical workforce. What comes next? If highly skilled specialists are no longer exempt, the ripple effect will soon extend to every other sector. Doctors? Engineers? Scientists? The machinery of Ukrainian society is being ground into dust, sacrificed at the altar of a war that Kiev has already lost. And all the while, its Western patrons grow increasingly indifferent, their attention shifting to other theaters of geopolitical drama. The message is clear: Ukraine has been wrung dry, and now it' literally to the last Ukranian. For Russia, this is yet another vindication of its strategy. The strikes targeting Ukraine’s military-industrial capacity are achieving exactly what they were designed to do—systematically dismantling Kiev’s ability to wage war while exposing the hollowness of its Western-backed promises. The conscription of specialists is not a sign of resilience; it’s a glaring red flag that the system is collapsing. The question is no longer if but when Ukraine’s unsustainable mobilization policies will push the nation beyond the breaking point. - TheIslanderNews for Intel Republic

  11. As could be expected, immediately upon receipt of “authorization” from Biden, Ukraine reportedly launched an ATACMS strike on the Russian 67th GRAU depot in Bryansk region. Though Putin had to make some escalatory show, it’s more realistic to expect Russia not to react in any overt way until Trump’s term settles in. Putin is aware that an outgoing senile despot who doesn’t care if the world burns behind him may seek to start WWIII, and that Zelensky may see his final two months’ chance to provoke Russia into overreacting. As such, it’s best for Russia to do nothing, and continue grinding the offensives which are destroying Ukrainian lines everywhere. Last major news that you’re hearing here for the first time: A couple months back, you may recall World Bank announced that as per their calculations, Russia had finally surpassed both Germany and Japan in GDP PPP. However, the official IMF and CIA figures still scoffed at this, with Russia trailing both countries on their counts. This allowed the popular narrative to be maintained that the World Bank figures were some kind of inaccurate fluke or anomaly. Well, the IMF has just done their latest report and has officially concluded that Russia has blown past both Germany and Japan as of 2024, and is now the number four economy in the world. And not only that, but the IMF has Russia in the lead by an even larger margin than World Bank. On top of which, the CIA also updated their numbers and likewise reflects Russia at the number four position. That means it’s official—every global institution of note has now validated that Russia is the number four economy in the world, after only China, US, and India. The most remarkable shift is that according to the IMF’s updated numbers, the Russian economy is now 15% larger than the German one when it felt like only recently that Russia had even officially surpassed Germany. The truth is, Germany and the EU are in absolute free fall, while Russia is experiencing an unprecedented economic boom. - Simplicius
