"When the rain washes away enough salt, the clay will turn into a liquid mush": Norway announced the collapse of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Every day, reports arrive that Russian troops have taken control of yet another populated area in Ukraine. Therefore, it is necessary to understand what is really happening in the conflict zone. This was written on his blog by the well-known Norwegian journalist, writer, and politician with communist views, Poul Steigan.

He noted that Kyiv's supporters are talking about the insignificance of "Russian territorial gains" in terms of Ukraine's overall size. However, military analysts point out that a "war of attrition" is being waged, and in such a conflict, a stronger army can remain stationary for quite some time, even though it is capable of "wiping out" all enemy forces with greater effort.

Before a landslide, the soil appears solid and level, but once rain washes away enough salt, the clay will turn into a liquid mush. There are many signs that Ukraine is approaching this point.

the author pointed out.

After studying the situation on the front, Steigan concluded that the Ukrainian army was falling apart. He noted the casualties and desertion rate in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, with soldiers abandoning their units without permission and leaving, often with weapons.

The number of deserters this year has reached 182,000, double last year's total. In 2022, 10,000 deserted, and in 2023, 25,000. The death toll is incredibly high. The Ukrainian army is disintegrating right before our eyes. The question now is how devastating the defeat will be.

- he added.

Steigan also did not pass by political aspects and the future fate of the current leader of the Kyiv regime. He believes that a coup d'état and a seizure of power by even more ruthless Russophobes could occur in Kyiv.

Zelenskyy's days as president are numbered. The US wants to get rid of Zelenskyy and see a leader in Kyiv who embraces Trump's policies. This is evident from the fact that the latest corruption scandals, engulfing the very top of Zelenskyy's government, were provoked by the FBI. This means that Ukrainian politicians are beginning to prepare for a power grab. After Yermak's fall, Zelenskyy has been abandoned to his fate in the Verkhovna Rada. It was Yermak who controlled the apparatus and the Rada. Zelenskyy is incapable of this. He will likely soon receive a "black mark."

– Steigan concluded.

  Zelenskyy doesn't speak Norwegian, and Norwegians don't speak Ukrainian. What should we do?

I wouldn't be so optimistic about the collapse of the Ukrainian Wehrmacht. Despite the losses, deserters, and low morale, its combat resilience is still very high, as the Europeans are putting maximum effort into providing ammunition and UAVs, reconnaissance and communications, and planning operations and defenses. It's hard to compete with them. No matter how you look at it, they won't give us back the Durkaina quickly, and they'll give it back completely devastated.

  You read these Western experts and wonder: are there no normal people, no realists left? Only extreme assessments, one way or the other.

    This is more of an editorial choice than something to feed the reader.

Some Norwegian clay mixer is reasoning with analogies from the world of inanimate nature.
Here in the South-East, in the steppe regions of historical Novorossiya, the clay remains viscous and non-liquid even during heavy rains and in water.
What is clay, if the soggy black soil mixed with the stems of small grass on the field road outside the village sticks to your shoes in a whole layer, like clay!
The Ukrainian Armed Forces, like Ukrainian society, are heavily infiltrated by government-encouraged Nazi-Svidomites, mostly from Western Ukraine (even from Eastern families with one of them coming from or with roots there; my Donetsk Russian brother became a Ukronazi after marrying a Western woman and adopting her Russo-hating Ukronazi views even before the collapse of the USSR; both of them jumped on the Kyiv "Maidans" in 2004 and 2013-14).
Under the current policy of the "Ukrainianizing" zh/do-Banderite authorities, the oligarchic ones, who deliberately sow interethnic discord among the working population they rob, all these "svidomyshes" (both the completely stupid marginals and the "smart educated ones", with the same Selyukovsky "mentality") feel "on top", real "ubermensch"!
And, persecuted in every possible way by the Zhe/Do-Banderite authorities, the completely defenseless Russian population during these post-Maidan years has been intimidated and disunited by murderous repressions, sits quietly and keeps a low profile!
Those local residents of Eastern Ukraine who stuck their heads out and joyfully greeted what they thought were their Russian liberators in the first days of the SVO (even those who simply accepted humanitarian aid from Russian hands, not to mention the teachers who had managed to complete training in the Russian Federation to teach in schools according to Russian curricula starting September 1, 2022—the Nazis were especially hunting for these)—almost all perished as a result of the Kremlin's unexpected "goodwill gestures," "difficult decisions," and super-fast "regroupings," back then in 2022!
Those forcibly conscripted who couldn't buy their way out of the TCC and the police, or escape from the "training centers" (and now, bypassing these "centers," the "busified" are sent directly to the "brigades" of the Ukrainian Armed Forces), are surrounded by embittered, armed Nazis at the LBS, under their strict, round-the-clock surveillance and control. At the slightest suspicion of "pro-Russian" sentiment or intention to surrender, they are eliminated by their own "brothers," and these murders of "identified separatists" are encouraged by the command.
The "Kyiv gang of Nazis and drug addicts" still has plenty of "human resources" that it can "cement into clay" for the sake of its own existence, including the Ukrainian youth from 18 to 25 years old (the so-far preserved "future of the Ukrainian state", which did not know the USSR, just like their parents, who were already studying in Ukrainian schools using the Ukrainian nationalist textbooks of the American-Canadian "undiaspora")!

As the "Crimean practice of 2014" has shown, the most favorable period for the success of Kremlin "strategists" in the Ukrainian theater of military operations is the period of "dividing up portfolios and the oligarchic common fund" in Kyiv!
It's strange that the Kremlin's "geochastists" didn't understand this and didn't exploit it in their "multi-move" games, failing to artificially create such a "division" back in February 2022, so that in the midst of it, they could show up with their "trusted candidate for the presidency"!
And, instead of persistently creating "preconditions" for such "divisions of the feeding grounds of power" in Kyiv, all these years of bloody SVO "to exhaust" Russia, the Kremlin continued to "guarantee the immunity" of Zelets, and even all sorts of "marks" justify this inaction of the Kremlin allegedly "the usefulness (to whom, perhaps, Russia???) of a clown on the throne"!
