Renfield discusses challenges of his work with Dracula.
Dracula praises Renfield for independent work.
This is good news. If possible, could Francis Farrell contant Covert Cabal (YouTube), Jompy (Twitter), HighMarsed (Twitter) to get an OSINT update and write a story on approximately how many tanks, AFVs, artillery and MLRS that Russia still has in storage.
This is good news for Ukraine. Bessent is one of the few competent people in Trump's cabinet and Trump knows that. Trump trusts Bessent so when Bessent talks it is reliable information.
Fico plays Renfield to Putler's Dracula.

Now Ukraine should start to put sanctions directly on the gas stations, just send drones at night to destroy the gas stations so civilians are not harmed.
AFU using larger drones with longer range and larger warheads / larger bombs and AI for targeting should expedite this process.

I wonder how long it will be until AFU destroys enough orc artillery and orc MLRS so it becomes difficult for Russia production to keep up with battlefield losses, similar to the current situation with orc tanks and orc AFVs.

Serhii Sternenko reported Ukraine is converting air defense soldiers into infantry soldiers so AFU has mobilization problems. The EU and the US should repatriate Ukraine's men back to Ukraine so AFU can stop Russian troops from advancing. Putin will not negotiate peace while his troops advance.
Why would Putler negotiate for peace if the orcs still are advancing?
Ukraine's current mobilization is not providing enough infantry. It is time for Europe and the US to repatriate Ukraine's men back to Ukraine so AFU can stop the orcs from advancing.
Ukraine must stop Putler's advances in Ukraine to convince him to negotiate peace.
Why would Putin negotiate for peace when his army continues to advance in Ukraine?

Looking at the Deep State map, It appears that Russia continues to advance along various areas of the frontline. It is time for the US and EU to repatriate Ukraine's men out of the EU and US and back to Ukraine so AFU has enough soldiers to stop the Russian advances.
The EU should follow Trump's lead and add secondary sanctions of 50% on India for buying Russian oil. The EU must motivate Trump to sanction the Russian shadow fleet. In unison, the US and EU should add secondary sanctions on China for buying Russian oil. Putin needs more pressure on his economy.

India should stop buying Russian oil and funding Putin's war in Ukraine. "Crude oil has been the biggest driver of the growth in Indian imports from Russia, jumping to $52.2 billion in 2024 from $2.31 billion in 2021." www.reuters.com/world/three-...
The writer makes a good choice of words with farce and theater. The US has a total tariff on India of 50%, 25% regular tariff + 25% tariff for Russia oil penalty. It is among the highest tariff the US charges other countries. www.bbc.com/news/article...
This is a strange way for Putler to express his desire for peace.
đź‘Ť
Why did the Ukraine government change the law? The article does not explain the reason for this change.
So far he only added a 25% tariff penalty on India for buying Russian oil, plus India already had a 25% tariff, so Trump has a 50% tariff on India now.
Orcs learn the Drax lesson about invisibility.
AFU current 30 day average for destroying orc tanks is 2.8 per day, AFVs is 3.9 per day. In March, AFU 30 day average for destroying orc tanks was 8.8 per day, AFVs was 19.4 per day. That is a 68% reduction in orc tanks destroyed per day and an 80% reduction in AFVs destroyed per day, good progress.
Reporters, Ukraine and the EU track the 2 weeks so Trump will have some uncomfortable questions soon if he does not take action with sanctions to Russian shadow fleet and secondary sanctions to more countries that buy Russian oil.

Excellent.
You should get Catherine Rampell to join you on this show. Then the two of you could eviscerate those loudmouths.

Or there always is Belarus, Iran and North Korea as other options.
I hope Jompy, Highmarsed and Covert Cabal update their Google spreadsheet with the current numbers of Russian self propelled artillery and Russian towed artillery that still remains in the Russian storage bases.
Yes, being in NATO and NATO-like protections are not the same thing. Witkoff discussed this on one of the political talk shows today.
Rosebud....
This is an excellent decision. The reason Putler met with Trump was to avoid the US adding sanctions to the Russian shadow fleet and to avoid the US adding secondary sanctions on more countries that buy Russian oil. It is time for Trump to use those sanctions against Russia.
It is good to see the EU support Zelensky like this.
"Russia is reaching 105-110% of its monthly military requirements, Vadym Skibitskyi, deputy head of Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR), said in an Aug. 12 interview with Ukrainian media outlet Suspilne." www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...
CNN is not a serious network since Warner Brothers Discovery took over running it.
Ukraine must stop Putler's orcs on the battlefield so they can no longer advance. As long as Putler can take land with a slow, steady advance of his orcs, then there is not much chance for a peace agreement on decent terms.
This sounds like the same offer Putler previously made.
Trump is desperate to win the Nobel Peace Prize. He will take any opportunity that brings him closer to that goal. Trump is just the intermediary and carries information from Putler to Zelensky and to the EU and carries information from Zelensky and from the EU to Putler.
Putler participated in this theatrical performance to delay Trump from sanctioning the Russian shadow fleet and to delay Trump from placing secondary sanctions on countries that buy Russian oil.
I don't know why anyone thinks Putler will agree to a ceasefire when his orcs make slow, steady progress to take more land in Ukraine.
Ukraine drone sanctions on Russian oil are very effective.

He needs more troops"Syrskyi said on Aug. 5 that Russia is mobilizing more troops than it is losing, growing its forces by 9,000 a month...Ukraine has not released its casualty rate, military experts say the current mobilization pace is not filling the gaps left behind by battlefield losses.."
Trump's an intermediary. He'll carry info to Putin from Zelensky and from the EU and carry info from Putin to Zelensky and to the EU. Putin fears more sanctions on the Russian shadow fleet and secondary sanctions on buyers of Russian oil. Trump can use that for leverage with Putin if he wants to.
Ukraine's lucky they had Biden. He saved them.
Ukraine drone sanctions on Russian oil refineries are doing work.
This meeting is good. Trump knows Zelensky must approve of any agreement and Trump already talked with Zelensky about it. Also, the EU is helping Zelensky with the negotiations and advising Trump on what is acceptable and what is not acceptable.
"Give" in exchange for something from Russia. I think Russia is shopping for T-62s to use in Rostec's 261st repair plant. The Bulgarian Military said that repair facility specializes in overhauling T-62's. Shoigu already shopped two times in N. Korea this year. bulgarianmilitary.com/amp/2024/09/...
I think North Korea will give Russia some T-62s.
I read that the pace of Russian advance is increasing now. General Syrskyi recently said AFU needs more soldiers. Maybe Ukraine government officials should go man a trench for a few weeks so they can experience the problem.
Magyar's drone teams helped him celebrate his birthday by destroying 70 orc artillery and 4 orc MLRS.

Bada boom, jagga jagga.
Ukraine's uses strong sanctions on Russian oil. EU's new dynamic price cap on Russian oil and sanctions on Russian shadow fleet also are good. US secondary sanctions on countries that purchase Russian oil also help. The whole team working to reduce the oil money to Russia that funds Putler's war.
Ukraine needs AFU to send more drone sanctions to Russian oil refineries. EU must enforce restrictions on Russian shadow fleet and activate dynamic price cap for Russian oil Sept 3. Trump adds more secondary sanction on China and Turkey and adds more Russian shadow fleet ships to US sanctions list.
AFU needs a smaller version of these interceptor drones to use against the orc fiber optic drones on the frontline.
I notice she did not attempt to defend shooting her puppy.
Putler's delaying Trump from implementing more sanctions against Russia and more secondary sanctions against China, Turkey, etc.

Modi indicates that Trump must increase the tariff percentage.
If Modi won't compromise then that means Trump must increase the tariff percentage.
This is good news and a good strategy. Choke off the oil money to Russia that funds Putler's war in Ukraine.

"Donald Trump’s administration is considering additional sanctions on Russia’s “shadow fleet” of oil tankers if President Vladimir Putin does not agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine by Friday."
This meeting is how you know Trump must use the sanctions on Putler and secondary sanctions on India and China. Putler would not have this meeting if he was not scared of the new sanctions and secondary sanctions.
This was one of the many problems with re-electing Trump. He always was going to put dumb people in charge of important government agencies.
Cane sugar tastes WAY better. It's not even close.
I'm missing your battles with Scott Jennings on CNN.
Have you noticed if MoD plans to use your suggestions? Because MoD's daily data reports on destroying orc artillery appears to be fantasy numbers that are not useful to review.
That was not the purpose of DOGE, though. War on government waste was the superficial reason that DOGE provided to the public, but the reality of the situation was much different.
