… and then the stuff between the statements.
Wie kann man die Bevölkerung eigentlich noch verarschen?
Mit Konsistenz.
Falls mal wieder jemand rum erzählt, dass wenn die Russen die Krim verlieren, das keine Auswirkungen auf die russische Föderation habe. Und dass alle die das Gegenteil behaupten russische Propaganda streuen würden…
*räusper*
Gen. Ben Hodges - der Experte dem die ZDF Berichterstattung und der stellvertretende Profil Chefredakteur vertrauen, am 22. Mai 2023:
H: I don’t understand why the the decision-making process is so incremental. I think there’s an exaggerated concern, not exaggerated - I think they are overly concerned that Russia might use a nuclear weapon and so there’s a huge amount of caution there, and and I do believe that this is the president - I don’t think he’s just doing whatever the national security staff says, or the Pentagon says, although I think they have a similar view, they’re very concerned and of course, I mean the president literally has the weight of the world on his shoulders and has to be more suspect than, than I do but I think this is part of the reason why they’ve been so incremental, but the fact that they haven’t made the declared a statement we want Ukraine to win and here’s our objective, without that, then, then you start making policy decisions in an incremental way. Now I don’t know this I think the Chinese are communicating somehow that they clearly do not want Crimea to fall, because they don’t want to see the Russian Federation collapse, so that may be one of the calculations […]
Danke Herr Ex-Nato-General, sie nehmen mir fast die Worte aus dem Mund.
Auch ansonsten sind seine Kommentare ein Quell der Freude, hier ein besonders schönes Schmankerl das illustriert worüber so in US Militärkreisen philosophiert wurde:
H: I think Saluschnyj and the general staff have said there are three conditions, that they - that need to be met before they’re ready to go. The first one is the condition of their own forces. Do they have enough combat power that could penetrate all of these linear Russian defenses, the trench lines, the Dragon’s Teeth, the minefields - all of that and make it all the way to - I think to the Sea of Azov to cut the so-called land bridge as well, as to secure the nuclear power plant Saporischschja. I think they are very, very concerned, understandably, for that thing, so do they have the combat power to do that - that’s going to primarily be armored brigades tanks, mechanized infantry, armored engineers, self-propelled artillery, air defense, that can move forward and attack an overwhelming combat power on a narrow front - there’s no need to attack the full six seven eight hundred miles up front, but where do you want to get overwhelming combat power - and so not only is it numbers and I think they probably have put together several brigades more than we know publicly of, units that are properly equipped and have been training there for the past few months - I mean none of these were diverted to Bachmut which is why it’s so important, the sacrifice that Bachmut was - to allow this to happen, so that’s number one and of course you’ve got brigades that are equipped with Ukrainian equipment, brigades that are equipped with captured Russian equipment and then you’ll have brigades that are equipped with German Marder, American Bradley, French AMXs - I mean the whole zoo of uh western provided equipment which will be very capable, but also that’s a heck of a logistics challenge.
The second condition is the Russian forces, have they degraded enough the command and control the headquarters the logistics of the Russian defenses uh you know we see fuel storage places on fire all the time, now ammunition storage - those kinds of things, transportation networks that would make it difficult for the Russians to react and adjust and then the deception plan obviously the Russians know something is coming but just like in June of 1944, the Germans knew the Allies were coming but where when and how was still unknown and so I think that’s what the Ukrainian general staff is working on still.
The third condition is the ground. You can’t do a single thing about that, except wait and uh the the ground in this part of Ukraine in particular, because of the drainage of so many rivers and where it heads towards the Black Sea is uh particularly nasty when it’s wet so they have to wait until it’s dried out enough so that the hundreds of heavy track armored vehicles will be able to keep moving, not get stuck - literally in the mud. Those are the three conditions and I think when that said then General Saluschnyj, he will turn to his president and say “We are ready to go!” and -
F: I think there’s been a lot of pressure from Washington and from other NATO capitals to move up the timetable but that’s probably a big mistake, given what you just said about them needing to be ready..
H: Yeah, I think President Zelenskyy has said we’ll go when we’re ready you know, uh - just the other day he said we could go right now and we would win but it would cost us so many more casualties, whereas if they wait until those three conditions are fully met to the extent that is feasible I think of course that that’s entirely a Ukrainian call and you know they know the ground better than we’ll never know, they know the condition of their own forces better, they know the Russian side better than we’ll ever know and so there is a sort of a impatience almost because there’s so much coverage of all this and and it’s uh people are anxious to see what’s going to happen, and so there is there is pressure um - I think the ukrainians that will do what they have been doing is they’ll they’ll make the decision on their time and they’ll do it their way.
Also wir halten fest: Hodges Ende Mai: Selenskyj hat gerade vor einigen Tagen ein Statement abgegeben, dass der Boden noch zu feucht sei --
die ukrainische Offensive begann dann Anfang Juni, aber bereits im Juli muss das ZDF wieder das Hurenwichserschwein von Nico Lange rehabilitien, der ja weiß - also ja dass die Russen ihre Verteidigung so gut ausbauen konnten das lag ja an den späten Waffenlieferungen der NATO Partner!
Selenskyj wäre mit dem schweren Gerät ja auch viel lieber in den Schlamm gefahren.
Das ist halt Wissen das die deutschsprachige Öffentlichkeit einfach nicht zur Kontextualisierung braucht - und das die geeignetsten Journalisten einfach wieder regelmäßig, bei Gelegenheit, beinahe wie auf Zuruf - vergessen.
Jetzt kann Hodges ja den größten Stuss erzählen, wenn nur der Tag dafür lang genug ist - auch wenn er es bei Referenzen auf Reden die unlängst gehalten wurden normalerweise eigentlich nicht macht - egal, die eigentliche Sensation hier besteht nicht darin was Hodges sagt, sondern im Interviewer.
Frankly, *hust*Bullshit*hust* ist ein Podcast Format von Francis Fukuyama - der seit Mai mit folgenden Leistungen aufgefallen ist:
1. Eine halbe Stunde zum bullshittenden Ben Hodges im eigenen Podcast mit dem Kopf genickt. CHECK!
2. Das ukrainische Azow Battalion mit allen Wissenschaftlichen Ehren ZWEIMAL in Stanford bei ihm am Institut aufmarschieren lassen? CHECK!
3. Schnell noch bei Robert Wright vorbeigeschaut und öffentlich geäußert wie sehr er selbst an das vier, jetzt fünf Steinstatuen Narrativ von Fiona Hill glaubt, das von der Brookings Institution entworfen wurde um der europäischen Öffentlichkeit zu verdeutlichen, Putin glaube er sei ein Zar. CHECK
Jetzt könnte man bei einer derart AKTIVEN Leistung in den letzten zwei Monaten natürlich ins Grübeln kommen, und vermuten Fukuyama müsse seinen Namen und seine Position, gerade in der Zeit vor der Gegenoffensive, für pro-ukrainische Propaganda hergeben…
Aber das kann ja nicht sein, da die westlichen Medien bis heute keine US oder ukrainischen Propagandanetzwerke entdeckt haben.
Diese Gesellschaft ist das absolut abrundtief Allerletzte.
Slava.
Hier als absolut notwendige Musikuntermalung: Udo Jürgens, “17 Jahr, Blondes Haar”, dankt mir später.
