Aus Effi­zi­enz­grün­den betreibt Russ­land Retro­fit­ting und stat­tet BTR-80s anstatt mit bemann­ten Türmen

[…] BTR-80 aus der Sowjetära.

Dabei han­delt es sich um ein leicht gepan­zer­tes Fahr­zeug, das sie­ben Sol­da­ten trans­por­tie­ren kann. Die Pan­ze­rung ist an den meis­ten Stel­len nur sie­ben bis neun Mil­li­me­ter dick und bie­tet damit ledig­lich Schutz vor klein­ka­li­bri­gem Beschuss und Split­tern. In sei­ner Ur-Konfiguration ver­fügt der BTR-80 noch über einen bemann­ten Turm, der ent­we­der mit einem 14,5-Millimeter-Maschinengewehr oder einer 30-mm-Maschinenkanone aus­ge­stat­tet ist.

mit RCWS aus.

Bei dem Waf­fen­sys­tem han­delt es sich um eine fern­steu­er­ba­re Waf­fen­sta­ti­on (Remo­te­ly Con­trol­led Wea­pon Sta­ti­on, RCWS)

Eine Wiki­pe­dia Suche nach RCWS för­dert zu Tage:

A remo­te con­trol­led wea­pon sta­ti­on (RCWS), remo­te­ly ope­ra­ted wea­pon sys­tem (ROWS), or remo­te wea­pon sys­tem (RWS), is a remo­te­ly ope­ra­ted light or medium-caliber wea­pon sys­tem, often equip­ped with a fire-control sys­tem, that can be instal­led on a ground com­bat vehi­cle or sea- and air-based com­bat platform.[1]

Such equip­ment is used on modern mili­ta­ry vehi­cles, as it allows a gun­ner to remain in the rela­ti­ve pro­tec­tion of the vehi­cle. It may be retro­fit­ted onto exis­ting vehi­cles, for examp­le, the CROWS sys­tem is being fit­ted to Ame­ri­can Humvees.

Alles kom­plett nor­mal mit RCWS ersetzt man in den US ehe­mals bemann­te Tür­me auf Humvees.

Beim Stan­dard wird daraus:

[RCWS] das eigent­lich für [auch] den fort­ge­schrit­te­nen Rad­schüt­zen­pan­zer BTR-7829 K-16 vor­ge­se­hen war. Ähn­lich wie der Stry­ker der US-Streitkräfte soll­te der Bume­rang die Platt­form für ein Fahr­zeug sein, das eine Viel­zahl von Rol­len über­neh­men kann. Denk­bar wäre etwa ein Ein­satz als gepan­zer­ter Trup­pen­trans­por­ter, als Ambu­lanz­fahr­zeug oder eine Kon­fi­gu­ra­ti­on als Pan­zer­jä­ger oder Fliegerabwehrfahrzeug.

1. Haha der Rus­se kann mit­ten im Krieg nicht sei­ne kom­plet­te Flot­te auf eine neue Platt­form umstel­len. Der muss retrofiten.

Denn oh Wunder

Ange­kün­digt im Jahr 2011, wur­de das neue Fahr­zeug angeb­lich 2013 getes­tet, die Mas­sen­pro­duk­ti­on soll­te 2015 begin­nen. Laut aktu­el­lem Stand ist das Pro­jekt nicht über die Test­pha­se hin­aus­ge­kom­men, nicht mehr als sie­ben Pro­to­ty­pen wur­den hergestellt.

2. Haha die Platt­form­ent­wick­lung ver­zö­gert sich beim Rus­sen. (Wür­de in Euro­pa ja nie vor­kom­men. Also in Friedenszeiten.)

Offen­bar ist die Waf­fen­sta­ti­on im Gegen­satz zum Trä­ger­fahr­zeug fer­tig geworden.

3. Den Halb­satz und “Platt­form” Ent­wick­lung zu ver­ste­hen ist sicher nicht wich­tig… (Du ent­wi­ckelst RCWS nicht nur für einen Fahr­zeug­typ, son­dern… Rich­tig… Als Plattform.)

[Nun] offen­bar auf dem Groß­va­ter des eigent­lich vor­ge­se­he­nen Fahr­zeugs ver­baut: auf einem 45 Jah­re alten Trup­pen­trans­por­ter BTR-80 aus der Sowjetära.

Dabei han­delt es sich um ein leicht gepan­zer­tes Fahr­zeug, das sie­ben Sol­da­ten trans­por­tie­ren kann. Die Pan­ze­rung ist an den meis­ten Stel­len nur sie­ben bis neun Mil­li­me­ter dick und bie­tet damit ledig­lich Schutz vor klein­ka­li­bri­gem Beschuss und Splittern.

4. Haha der Rus­se ver­baut für einen Trup­pen­trans­por­ter mit 7 Mann Kapa­zi­tät immer noch kei­ne schwe­re Pan­ze­rung, weil ers nicht kann.

Mean­while - hei­te­re Neue­rung am Gefechts­feld: Tota­le Trans­pa­renz, Droh­nen, Cae­sars, Pan­zer­hau­bit­ze 2000, die jede schwe­re Pan­ze­rung rela­tiv nutz­los machen (Droh­nen flie­gen gegen Schwach­stel­len…) und Russ­land das dar­auf - stra­te­gisch bis­her erfolg­reich, mit Quads, Motor­rä­dern und E-Rollern reagiert hat. (Mal schau­en wo der Feind nicht so toll auf­ge­stellt ist - Jungs, dem e-Scooter, der am wei­tes­ten gekom­men ist nach). “Die Jungs” (Infan­trie), die dann nach­kom­men, brau­chen dann Mobi­li­tät, und kei­ne schwe­re Pan­ze­rung. (Tol­ler Tipp auch, falls sie mal wäh­rend der Ras­pu­tiza, oder im Win­ter wei­ter angrei­fen wollten.…)

Die US wür­de Hum­ve­es schicken.

Aber bring das mal einem Stan­dard Redak­teur ohne Eng­lisch Kennt­nis­se bei, der von Wiki­pe­dia noch nie was gehört hat…

edit: Back­ground:

Russ­land hat mehr als genug von denen.

src: click

Aller­dings schießt ihnen die Ukrai­ne aktu­ell genug weg, dass es für die Ukrai­ne ein Zustand ist, den sie lang­fris­tig auf­recht­erhal­ten kann.

Die­ser Umstand (loss ratio von 4) ist rela­tiv neu - so letz­tes Halb­jahr neu.

Also gibt Russ­land vor sechs Mona­ten Stu­di­en in Auf­trag war­um denn da so vie­le weg­ge­hen, und bekommt schätz­o­ma­tiv zurück, weil Droh­nen in den Geschütz­turm flie­gen - und sich nie­mand mehr schie­ßen traut. Also beginnt Russ­land coun­ter­mea­su­res in Auf­trag zu geben, und hat nun kei­ne sechs Mona­te spä­ter etwas zur Effi­zi­en­stei­ge­rung von AFVs in der Pipeline.

Das ist dem schon kom­plett ver­trot­tel­ten Stan­dard­re­dak­teur als Mel­dung aber deut­lich zu hoch - schließ­lich ist er ja wie die Maus vorm Dopa­min­but­ton dar­auf gepri­med auf der sel­ben Platt­form von der er die Geschich­te abge­schrie­ben hat nur lus­ti­ge “rus­si­sche Fran­ken­pan­zer” Mel­dun­gen zu bekom­men, die sich so geil kli­cken - des­halb klaut sie der Stan­dard ja in der Welt­ge­schich­te zusam­men, wäh­rend er sonst kei­ne Mil­Blogs liest, also schreibt der Voll­idi­ot von Stan­dard­re­dak­teur auch die­se Mel­dung nach dem Sche­ma um.

Sagen wirs mal so - wenn Russ­land die RCWS in die Mas­sen­fer­ti­gung bekommt, sinkt die loss Ratio wahr­schein­lich wie­der unter 4 und die Ukrai­ne kann nicht mal genug AFVs ver­nich­ten um in die­sem Krieg lang­hal­tig zu bestehen.

Haha, der blö­de Rus­se. Haha.

Moment, wie­so lachen wir hier eigentlich.

Raus­schmeis­sen wär noch zu gut für Peter Zei­lin­ger. Nur ne Meinung.

edit: Klei­ner Feh­ler mei­ner­seits BTR-80 ist eher ein IFV, kein AFV - da ist die Ratio schon seit einem Jahr bei 4. Und wir haben kei­ne Oryx Zah­len über den wahr­schein­li­chen Gesamt­be­stand. edit2: Es 3677 nach ner ande­ren OSINT Quelle:

Based on public satel­li­te images publis­hed in dif­fe­rent peri­ods of time, OSINT ana­lysts High­Mar­sed and CovertCa­bal cal­cu­la­ted the num­ber of armo­red equip­ment rus­si­an armed for­ces still have in long-term sto­rage. Their con­clu­si­on was, more than 8,900 vehi­cles of several types, inclu­ding 3,677 infan­try figh­t­ing vehicles.

Wäh­rend die Ukrai­ne ehm, bereits 3000 von ihnen braucht…

The three plants will pro­du­ce gun­pow­der, ammu­ni­ti­on and air defen­se sys­tems. At the same time, the first plant, whe­re a line for the pro­duc­tion of armo­red vehi­cles is loca­ted, is alrea­dy working pro­du­cing the Lynx infan­try figh­t­ing vehicles.

“Actual­ly, Ukrai­ne needs 3,000 Lynx infan­try figh­t­ing vehi­cles, but the­re are no funds for them,” Armin Pap­per­ger said.

Viel­leicht Pap­per­ger anru­fen um mal zu fra­gen, wie vie­le sie denn noch hat. Das muss der doch als guter Unter­neh­mer wissen.

edit3: Wir kön­nen uns den Anruf spa­ren, FORBES weiß mehr:

The Ukrai­ni­an armed for­ces began Russia’s wider war on Ukrai­ne in Febru­a­ry 2022 with around 1,200 infan­try figh­t­ing vehi­cles: most of them ex-Soviet BMP-1s.

Twen­ty mon­ths later, Rus­sia has des­troy­ed or cap­tu­red near­ly 700 of the ori­gi­nal IFVs.

Das war vor nem Jahr. Dh nach Oryx haben die mitt­ler­wei­le 1100 ver­lo­ren und lau­fen momen­tan auf Fum­es. (Die Lie­fer­quo­te war, nach Ein­zel­mel­dun­gen zu schlie­ßen, jetzt nicht so toll… Wer mag kann ja nachrecherchieren.)

Mer­ke: Wenn Oryx die pro­por­tio­na­len Ver­gleichs­wer­te nicht lis­tet, dann nicht weil die da draus­sen nicht rum­schwir­ren, son­dern - weil die Ukrai­ne in dem Sek­tor ehm… Naja - ist zumin­dest mei­ne Hypothese.

edit4: Eigent­lich bemer­kens­wert… Auf der Suche nach Mas­se, fin­det man in dem Seg­ment bei der Ukrai­ne M113:

M113 (1960)
The U.S. pro­du­ced more than 80,000 M113s, and for a long time it was the main armo­red per­son­nel car­ri­er of the Ame­ri­can army. The typi­cal M113 car­ri­es a crew of 2, and a squad of 11 sol­di­ers along with ser­ving as a base for several dozen spe­cia­li­zed vehi­cles. The M113 can move at speeds of up to 65km per hour. 

Sin­ce 2022, Ukrai­ne has been sup­plied with hund­reds of M113 vari­ants from various coun­tries with a varie­ty of modi­fi­ca­ti­ons. The U.S. alo­ne has pro­vi­ded Ukrai­ne with more than 900 M113s.Ukraine has recei­ved the APC vari­ants plus ambu­lan­ce and medi­cal ver­si­ons. During the Batt­le of Bakhmut and Sole­dar, the M113 was seen to be high­ly effec­ti­ve in evacua­ting Ukrai­ni­an tro­ops under con­ti­nuous shel­ling from Rus­si­an for­ces [at 67km/h tops].

Die laut Ukrai­ne Pro­pa­gan­da (united24media) sowohl “high­ly effec­ti­ve in evacua­ting Ukrai­ni­an tro­ops under con­ti­nuous shel­ling from Rus­si­an for­ces” waren, aber “aus Alu­mi­ni­um gefer­tigt [wer­den], wel­ches zum Teil die glei­chen Qua­li­tä­ten wie Stahl bie­tet, aber das Gewicht redu­ziert” und nur leicht gepan­zert werden…

Da hat­te die Ukrai­ni­sche Pro­pa­gan­da wohl wie­der kei­nen Kor­rek­tur­le­ser, oder Edi­tor, oder Jour­na­lis­ten… Gut, der Stan­dard hats wie­der abge­schrie­ben - ich mein, wer wird denn da recherchieren…

Der desi­gnier­te US-Präsident Donald Trump sag­te am Diens­tag auf jener Pres­se­kon­fe­renz, über die wir bereits berich­tet haben, dass er mit der rus­si­schen Posi­ti­on sym­pa­thi­sie­re, dass die Ukrai­ne nicht Teil der Nato sein soll­te, und er beklag­te, dass er den rus­si­schen Prä­si­den­ten Wla­di­mir Putin nicht vor sei­ner Amts­ein­füh­rung tref­fen wer­de. Trump gab auch dem schei­den­den demo­kra­ti­schen Prä­si­den­ten Joe Biden die Schuld, weil er angeb­lich die Posi­ti­on der USA zur Nato-Mitgliedschaft der Ukrai­ne geän­dert habe.

Das war unter der Hand die Posi­ti­on, von Frank­reich, Deutsch­land, der Tür­kei, Grie­chen­land, Kana­da, Por­tu­gal, den USA, …

Aber kaum zieht man das in den Bereich des tat­säch­lich Aus­ge­spro­che­nen nennt der Stan­dard das “die Rus­si­sche Posi­ti­on” - und nein, das hier ist kei­ne Detail­fra­ge - son­dern die Fra­ge der Vor­ga­be einer Schein­rea­li­tät - und wie sehr man als ehe­ma­li­ges Qua­li­täts­me­di­um dar­auf beharrt, dass Leu­te so tun müss­ten als sei sie real.

NATO Voll­mit­glied­schaft kann er damit ja nicht meinen.

I saw an older epi­so­de of the same talk for­mat with the same mode­ra­tor yes­ter­day - which is now fore­ver lost in the ether, becau­se you­tube search is bad and I didnt note down the tit­le or age -- but what real­ly, real­ly is striking to me is the rapid dege­ne­ra­ti­on of the qua­li­ty of “experts on media”.

The older clip was may­be 10 or 15 years old - and the experts whe­re tho­se late nine­ties “the inter­net is our liber­ta­ri­an play­ground” vibe techi­es, that still were fun to lis­ten to.

They tried their best. They were idea­listic. They had ide­as that were inte­res­ting to lis­ten to. They knew, that they dont know it all.

And now - after an ent­i­re genera­ti­on of puri­ta­nism and self impo­sed face­book repu­ta­ti­on “angst”, fol­lo­wed by self cen­sor­s­hip - you get

- the ideo­lo­gi­cal preacher with the pro­tes­tant vibes, and the goth alu­re to attract fema­le stu­dents (per­fect half shadow on his face on camera)

- the com­ple­te­ly bland mother supe­ri­or of the order “ever­ything is right is what we decide”

- the usu­al metro­se­xu­al “future lea­der” that is on mes­sa­ge like a dro­ne, so yo know he got scho­l­ar­s­hips through his teeth and his first job from someo­ne aging and wan­ting to pro­mo­te half of the peop­le from a youn­ger genera­ti­on he meets in the alps

and

- the bureau­crat euro­pean com­pu­ter dri­ving licen­se trai­nee, that now scored a government job, is still unsu­re of hims­elf, but pro­bab­ly knows the most about tech of ever­yo­ne on the panel

and all of them now are --

-- The digi­tal experts of Fran­ce 24 --

and I still like Fran­ce 24, and I like the mode­ra­tor. But I would never, in my life get advice on anything of public inte­rest, or even in digi­tal mat­ters, from any of the four.

They are much too bui­sy kee­ping up a self image, to know anything of value.

So, they do what media experts always do - and repeat sto­ries, which they have read on non digi­tal media, to show how exper­ty, experts they are. And they get some parts right, but in the midd­le of the second sen­tence their puri­ta­ni­cal refle­xes kick in and they alrea­dy want to for­bid ever­ything for ever­yo­ne -- or they are waaaay­yy to much into tel­ling thems­elf the sto­ry how Musk was never lik­ed in school and is now overcompensating.

But also a Bond vil­lain, becau­se we just cant read his algo­rithm well enough - its pro­bab­ly the key to life, god and the universe.

But also pro­bab­ly self inte­res­ted, so we dont know, how he will shape the world eco­no­my in his inte­rest, with all his Bond vil­lai­nes and his Hard­core gamer past!

And hes addic­ted to social media.

*He never stop­ped play­ing games, he is a man child* they wis­per to each other on air. Yes - and I heard, he even wants to play con­nec­ti­ve tis­sue and enab­ler of a far right international!

Yes to all of this. To some extent. Also yes to the “he cant sleep”, and “lives wit­hin his bub­ble”, and the pro­bab­ly is a user, and cant con­trol hims­elf bet­ween the lines, and the “over­com­pen­sa­tes” his per­cie­ved pre­vious short­co­mings. And plays poli­ti­cal influ­en­cer that hands around 100s of mil­li­ons to right wing poli­cy groups.

But then to some extent he is also birt­hing a poli­ti­cal move­ment of peop­le on the out­skirts of socie­ty. Which under the “woke” estab­lis­ment cen­sor­s­hip poli­cy should never exist without being algo­rith­mi­cal­ly down­ran­ked, silen­ced, for­got­ten and shunned.

So if you actual­ly give credence to the noti­on, that this social media thing is some­thing new, and socie­ties have to learn how to deal with it. You dont ent­i­re­ly deal with it for them, much less in a way - whe­re you only pro­mo­te puri­ta­ni­cal robots into expert posi­ti­ons, applau­ded to by the one future lea­der, that checks his make­up, while someo­ne else is tal­king on the panel (not the mode­ra­tor btw).

So here is the rough cut:

Racism, and far right popu­lism (which is pro­bab­ly the most effec­ti­ve kind of popu­lism - with a very high qua­li­ty of memes pro­du­ced) is its own acce­le­ra­tor on social media. It spreads like not­hing else. Tada­aa. Thats the magic of the algo.

Musk, his­to­ri­cal­ly - when he took over Twit­ter saw what algo­rith­mic cen­sor­s­hip the “woke crowd” tog­e­ther with sta­te depart­ment part­ners were enga­ged in. Found the poor rightwing tren­ding coder soul and gamer wit­hin the com­pa­ny - and pro­bab­ly pro­mo­ted them lead some­thing of the future tra­jec­to­ry of the company.

And in the effort to coun­ter the algo­rith­mic cen­sor­s­hip they saw and endu­red, they tried to hard­ball it, and to get rid of most of it - and now rightwing popu­lism is way over­re­pre­sen­ted the­re, becau­se it is a natu­ral accelerant.

At the same time, they are try­ing to inno­va­te in the space - and actual­ly crea­ted some­thing with com­mu­ni­ty notes - which are exp­lai­na­ti­ons on social media threads, that get pin­ned, when peop­le who usual­ly dont agree on poli­ti­cal out­loo­ks, sud­den­ly hea­vi­ly agree on some­thing. Its not a per­fect thing, its not a won­der­ful fix, but at least its interesting.

Yes Musk likely mani­pu­la­tes the reach of his own twit­ter feed, yes - the­re are ad hoc mani­pu­la­ti­ons of the sta­tus quo, that likely he, or few peop­le deci­de over, as were the­re in the past. Yes none of this is trans­pa­rent. And no he doesnt allow government depart­ments to do the same, like twit­ter did before.

Yes - he often is wrong, and into a pret­ty reac­tion­a­ry right wing bubble.

So atten­ti­on to what he does is warranted.

But so far, he has “just” put on a plat­form a group wit­hin socie­ty that has self radi­ca­li­zed on the edges of socie­ty being mar­gi­na­li­zed algo­rith­mi­cal­ly. With the new addi­ti­on of also doing this in real poli­ti­cal life with mil­li­ons of dol­lars in funding.

I’d be far less sym­pa­the­tic to it, if this were not the likely “anti­do­te” to the self cen­so­ring, vir­tue signa­ling, woke puri­ta­nism of the age - that knows ever­ything --- and still is wrong most of the time.

As long as he faci­li­ta­tes discussion/exchange of ide­as and does not sup­press or seek to side­li­ne it. Or pro­mo­te anti huma­nist, unethi­cal, and so on ide­as - I’m some­what OK with that.

In fact, that we now have a deba­te whe­re the Ger­man chan­cellor can react with “dont feed the troll” is indi­ca­ti­ve of a socie­tal lear­ning pro­cess in social media literacy.

Will he over­do it - yes, likely so. Sim­ply becau­se right wing popu­lism (as a short­hand, just think of their memes), is a hypersca­ler on its own, but plea­se lets tack­le it - when we get there.

The worries that he uses the “rape­gangs” tro­pes as an arti­fi­cial boos­ter for rightwing groups in ger­ma­ny and eng­land are total­ly legit.

But befo­re your digi­tal experts get into “James Bond vil­lain” deli­be­ra­ti­on of how this is his mas­ter­plan to advan­ce his cor­po­ra­te empi­re through a socie­tal powers­hift -- also con­si­der, that for adver­ti­sers it was the least sexy thing he could do - and in some sen­se hes also just Keki­us Maxi­mus, the guy that cant sleep - is trig­ge­red by per­cei­ved injus­ti­ce to child­ren, and iden­ti­fies with the out­cast self radi­ca­li­zed guy that was ban­ned from twit­ter, becau­se of some­thing he found important to say -- to some extent.

Then add a bit of the cir­cum­stan­ti­al­ness of “free speech” having an ent­i­re­ly dif­fe­rent signi­fi­can­ce wit­hin US socie­ty - and the US never having suf­fe­red from the same his­to­ri­cal back­sto­ry, that euro­pe has.

So keep watch - but stick your dread­ful puritanism.

Spo­ken as someo­ne, that to this day doesnt know why the heck “we should now rethink our migra­ti­on poli­cy” in euro­pe over some­thing that appar­ent­ly chan­ged in the main­stream over the last five years, that makes it impos­si­ble to inte­gra­te 200.000 peop­le in ger­ma­ny a year. Yet, every CDU poli­ti­ci­an fakes knowing it by feel - becau­se sud­den­ly, social media was full of peop­le tel­ling them, that this is the next big issue they cared about. Why that exact­ly beca­me “a main­stream, midd­le of socie­ty” opi­ni­on is still pret­ty mur­ky to me. (And yes I know about migra­ti­on risk issu­es under cli­ma­te chan­ge. And the cost/insurance issu­es that go hand in hand with it. And yes, the last green par­ty admi­nis­tra­ti­on in ger­ma­ny I con­si­der about the most tone­de­ath poli­ti­cal “nud­gers” ever in exis­tence in a government, but at least the genera­ti­on over 60 alrea­dy has for­gi­ven them, and alrea­dy wants excact­ly that back for their grandchildren…)

So may­be its that, why I sug­gest to also let us have a litt­le Elon Musk.

I agree on the “I dont see how this (his beha­vi­or) is sus­tainab­le” front, so I expect a crash and burn, but at least whats being crea­ted is not so effing puri­ta­ni­cal all the time.

He had to be pre­si­dent so he made a decisi­on about some food stuff, they took him to a sock­pup­pet press event, he han­ded out wea­pons, then he made a tele­vi­si­on clip, and worked on his video blog. Much lea­der of the coun­try, much. Even though he had mana­ging expe­ri­ence in TV pro­duc­tion befo­re, he just con­cen­tra­ted on play­ing a pro­pa­gan­da role, he clear­ly sta­tes - the rest other peop­le mana­ged for him. It ama­zes him, that he - for all peop­le in his coun­try beca­me THE INFORMATION SOURCE. Much honor. Much great­ness. Becau­se peop­le were magi­cal­ly cut off from all other infor­ma­ti­on, but could still hear him, and his divi­ne ego pro­jec­tion, Selen­skyj says. Becau­se it was very important for him to keep all things digi­tal, to keep the Inter­net. [Rus­si­ans at that point didnt attack the 3G/4G Infra­st­ruc­tu­re in Ukrai­ne at all., see also Foot­no­te 47 here: click, See also “In the initi­al sta­ges of the inva­si­on, with iso­la­ted excep­ti­ons, Rus­si­an for­ces pre­ser­ved mobi­le pho­ne infra­st­ruc­tu­re lar­ge­ly inta­ct (Chat­ham House)”] To stay in touch with ever­yo­ne. With all the people.

God, this is a trainwreck…

- Then immedia­te­ly Selen­skyj and “they (as in his advi­sers and him)” built Mara­thon THE MUCH CRITICISED UKRAINIAN PROPAGANDA NETWORK (much cri­ti­cis­ed by ukrai­ni­an press that is -- EU slams Ukraine’s war­ti­me pool of TV chan­nels, urges Kyiv to res­to­re media plu­ra­lism), which Selen­skyj says also was very important for the people.

- Then he touched things, on video, to show that he wasnt in front of a green­screen. [You can touch things in front of a green screen, you know?] All of this had an impact. He was actual­ly sure of his actions.

- Then he tal­ked to the inter­na­tio­nal press and told them, that they have to stay here, becau­se he needs Jour­na­lists of the inter­na­tio­nal press as media wea­pons [I’m fuck­ing quo­ting here…] He told them “You must stop Putin!”, but he spo­ke to them in rus­si­an, so you see - the­re is no pro­blem, you can still use rus­si­an in Ukrai­ne! You see?!!? [Selen­skyj refu­sed to do the inter­view in pure­ly russian.]

- Then Seles­kyj tells Lex Fried­man, that no one in Rus­sia will hear this con­ver­sa­ti­on, becau­se Putin you know - is actual­ly deaf, you know? He is deaf by his very natu­re. [He also insi­nua­ted that rus­si­ans are deaf, silent peop­le about 20 minu­tes before.]

- Then Selen­skyj says, that Putin is just dif­fe­rent, he is dif­fe­rent. Putin is a mam­mo­th that stands befo­re you.

- Then he says, that he shares a posi­ti­on with Trump in “peace through strength” and that “only if you are strong -- if you are strong you can speak”.

…

- Then Selen­skyj exp­lains, that “Putin is like Vol­de­mort.” […] “He [Putin] is darkness personified.”

We are at Minu­te 50 btw.

- Then Selen­skyj says, that Putin says, they need to talk. But Ukrai­ne needs to be in a strong posi­ti­on, and not talk. But end the war.

- “Yes, peace through dia­log is pos­si­ble you just need to be -

”

I’m not lea­ving anything out yet - btw, this is not selec­ti­ve edi­t­ing. This is how this Inter­view unfolds.

- Then Selen­skyj says, that he used an “all for all exchan­ge” of pri­so­ners during Minsk 2 nego­tia­ti­ons to get a shoe in into fur­ther nego­tia­ti­ons with Putin - he “wan­ted to have a huma­ni­ta­ri­an advan­ta­ge” in negotiations.

- Selen­skyj is always ful­ly pre­pa­red, when he enters nego­tia­ti­ons he says. Not like quo­te “bare ass Putin”.

- Then, regar­ding the sei­ze fire, the rus­si­ans star­ted kil­ling them [whe­re, when, how many, … he doesnt know, in about a mon­th]. So Selen­skyj cal­led Putin. “Hey Putin” he said, “we didnt sign a pie­ce of toi­let paper, did we? This is serious busi­ness!” […] And now they are offe­ring us a christ­mas sei­ze fire [Selen­skyj doesnt know that its after christ­mas], its all the same! And thats what hap­pen­ed! [Putin feig­ned to not have any know­ledge of the violations.]

Well, not exact­ly feig­ned, because:

- Becau­se - mean­while (through several mon­ths), the rus­si­ans “were sen­ding their sni­pers”. [So they were loo­sing, … a per­son per week at least! Pro­bab­ly high ran­king ones!] But, tho­se actual­ly were sni­pers in trai­ning. They were trai­ning them.

So Selesnkyj star­ted to pes­ter Putin via tele­fo­ne, then Putin said, he’ll look into it. But then after just three calls Putin stop­ped to return Selen­sky­js calls! So Selen­skyj of cour­se stop­ped adhe­ring to Minsk 2.

I’m not making this shit up. I kid you not. This is fuck­ing real.

- Next on Selen­sky­js excu­ses list is Vla­dis­lav Cher­nov, the Ukrai­ni­an Pro­pa­gan­da asset that lied for 10 Mon­ths strai­ght about being gui­ded and dri­ven out by Ukrai­ni­an Mili­ta­ry Poli­ce head­qua­ter guy “Vla­di­mir the Hand­ler” out of Mariu­pol in his Hyun­dai. He real­ly can’t have sei­ze fire, becau­se look at OSCAR DOCUMANENTARY by Cher­nov! Selen­skyj says.

No - look at the ukrai­nes secret ser­vice acti­vi­tes around Cher­nov first. Whos now fea­tured by the Vic­tor Pin­chuk foun­da­ti­on. (https://www.russianwarcrimeshouse.org/) (Just search this blog for Hyun­dai) Who post­po­ned his exit from Mario­pol so he could visit a ran­dom hos­pi­tal, to get a doc­tor to gui­de them to their mor­gue, to unwrap a ran­dom dead baby, just so they could film it. Its in the movie.

- You see Selen­skyj can kill ano­t­her 200.000 sol­di­ers, just becau­se - of the child­ren in Mariu­pol. ALL THE CHILDREN IN MARIUPOL!

[Selen­skyj holds the strong belie­ve, that he will still save them, likely with tho­se 200 tanks he asked for to libe­ra­te Mariu­pol, and never got, he asked his euro­pean part­ners to get that is, on the day he invi­ted the Pope to Kiew to talk to him about peace talks. About six mon­ths into the war.]

- Oh, and of cour­se - this is what Trump will do for us, says Selenskyj:

- “becau­se we strong!” Tog­e­ther with Trump.

And Trump has to do it, becau­se “Putins plan is for Trump and me [Selen­skyj] to fight -- and

I’d say - kill ano­t­her half a mil­li­on peop­le. See what Selen­skyj says then.

This is the beau­ty of Demo­cra­cy, isnt it? That Man­fred Weber and Selen­skyj are on the same wavelenght…

I’m now lea­ving out about 10 minu­tes of com­ple­te­ly insa­ne non­sen­se, and skip right to

- Selen­skyj insists, that we find the peop­le that were respon­si­ble for the Buda­pest memo­ran­dum, rus­si­ans and ame­ri­cans, and jail them all. Inclu­ding for­mer US pre­si­dents. Becau­se: Justice.

- Selen­skyj is very angry with the Ame­ri­cans and the French for ghos­ting him over the Buda­pest memorandum:

- Selen­skyj then open­ly sta­tes, that both Minsk agree­ments were the same useless shit (“second cart on the same train”). So fuck them as well, no one came. Well, Oba­ma came. And Mer­kel. And Macron. But they just dindt care about Ukrai­ne at all, like Selen­skyj does. Selen­skyj sta­tes, PAH! People -

Lets kill ano­t­her half a mil­li­on peop­le I’d say. Let Selen­skyj real­ly work out his pro­blems while he can shout a few more well armed sol­di­ers towards the con­ta­ct line, I’d say.

May­be let him meet Man­fred Weber, let them talk it out, who of them cares more.

Das ist das Frie­dens­pro­jekt Euro­pa zur Zeit.

Becau­se becau­se… We.. ehm, we… We real­ly dont have enough sol­di­ers for peace right now. In Euro­pe, you know…

Eine Stun­de Dreißig.

Ach­ja, falls noch ein Ukrai­ni­scher zu Rekru­tie­ren­der zusieht. Rennt.

The rest of the inter­view is essen­ti­al­ly Selen­skyj not under­stan­ding any of the ques­ti­ons he is asked.

Pro­mo­ting eye for an eye jus­ti­ce, as “what no one will have anything against wit­hin the ukrai­ni­an jus­ti­ce system”.

And not for the world being able to under­stand, that in war, the­re is no uni­ver­sal jus­ti­ce agent. The­re is no hig­her aut­ho­ri­ty that hands out jus­ti­ce, and puts things right.

But Selen­skyj doesnt under­stand that. So as the next best thing he will take a dol­lar check as com­pen­sa­ti­on for his cos­mic fury. And peop­le hand them out, becau­se they ser­ve their own tac­ti­cal goals, and it doesnt make them look bad on social media.

So the thing we crea­ted Euro­pe for, that “the per­so­nal Ven­d­at­ta of a COMPLETELY insa­ne, stu­pid per­son at the helm of a gou­vernment” can never fuck up Euro­pe any­mo­re and draw them in end­less wars - is now drawing us into end­less wars - becau­se this time, its against evil.

Die­se Gesell­schaft ist das abso­lut gro­tesk und abar­tigst Allerletzte.

Heuch­ler, kom­plet­te Voll­idio­ten, und Social Media Süch­ti­ge strei­ten um FEELs in der Bevöl­ke­rung. Mark Zucker­berg schaut zu, und skimmt 2 cents in Werbegebühren.

Mehr exis­tiert da draus­sen nicht mehr.

Now give me more money for wea­pon. I accept check. You can also give me rus­si­an money. I’ll pay you with rus­si­an money you give me for weapon.

Selen­skyj im Ori­gi­nal Wort­laut etwas spä­ter im Video.

Weil Selen­skyj ja die Rol­le des une­ri­ver­sal mora­li­schen Rich­ters über­nom­men hat. Der die Toten Kin­der jedes Ukrai­ners rächt.

Das ist sei­ne inter­ne Motivation.

At two hours Selen­skyj gets into preaching:

Star­ting at 2:20:00 in the­re is basi­cal­ly just smalltalk.
