A massive pillar of flame is rising over Russia’s Kirishi oil refinery outside of St. Petersburg tonight after a Ukrainian drone attack.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Auto-translated from Polish by Grok
‼️During the "Zapad" maneuvers, Russia and Belarus simulate an attack on Poland and Lithuania under the guise of defending Kaliningrad

On September 12, the "Zapad–2025" maneuvers began, after which Poland closed its border with Belarus🚧

The scenario assumes an attack on the Suwałki Corridor. The Kremlin presents it as a "defense" of Kaliningrad, which NATO allegedly wants to seize.

In practice, this means an offensive from Belarus and a march through 🇵🇱 and 🇱🇹 to establish a land connection with Kaliningrad. Russia pretends to be defending while actually training for an attack on NATO.

CEO of Russian Fertilizer Firm Found Decapitated Near Kaliningrad

Sep. 9, 2025


Police investigators in Russia’s Kaliningrad region on Monday discovered the decapitated body of the CEO of a local fertilizer company.

The chief executive, Alexei Sinitsyn, is believed to have died by suicide, according to a law enforcement source cited by the Vedomosti business newspaper.

Investigators told state news agencies that Sinitsyn’s body was found with an attached towing cable under a bridge outside the city of Kaliningrad. They said they were establishing the circumstances of his death.

Sinitsyn, 43, was the CEO of K-Potash Service, which has been developing the Nivensky-1 potassium-magnesium deposit in Kaliningrad since 2014.  .  .  .

Anyone have an explanation why attacking Poland makes any sense?

It would light a fire that will be full scale war in Europe. Russia cannot win it.

Why?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

To trigger an overt NATO response that crosses over into Russian/Belarus territory so that Putin can claim that NATO is attacking Russia to rally the populace around him and his continued war on Ukraine. Most likely it indicates that he is at serious risk of losing internal support and rivals are beginning to come out of the woodwork.

In the meantime, Putin is using it to (quite effectively) show that NATO is all-talk and no-action ...

People are only part of Putin's problem. He doesn't have the industrial/economic power to sufficiently arm them.

Biden's and Zelensky's wars??? He still doesn't get it. Biden, perhaps because he was good with a "small incursion". But Z?

Notice the naive fellow does not mention Putin as a cause of the war. Just whose side is he really on anyway?

 :shrug:


What action would you advise?  What NATO should be doing is arming Ukraine to the teeth with everything it needs.  In the meantime, until Russia actually causes serious damage on the territory of a NATO member, its attempts to provoke a response should be ignored.


What Putin wants is a NATO - preferably U.S. led - incursion into Belarus or Russia.  That will allow him to galvanize all of Russian society and industry to “the Cause” and will get allies like NK, India, Iran, and even China, feeding him war materiel. 


The drones that entered Polish airspace were apparently duds.  Which clearly indicates that he is trying to provoke a response from NATO, not actually attempting to attack a NATO member.

Well almost everything it needs ... except the things it really needs like more Patriot systems and Taurus missiles, while being allowed to use ATACMS to go their full range; the last would require 47 to want Ukraine to defeat Russia - which, from his recent comment above, he does not - he seems firmly in Putin's camp - he's just a bit disappointed Dear Vlad is not more amenable to stopping his war.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, September 13, 2025


Excerpted headlines:

Russian forces recently attempted to advance behind Ukrainian positions in Kupyansk via an underground gas pipeline - the third time Russian forces have used this tactic so far in the war ...

Russian forces previously leveraged underground pipelines to advance behind Ukrainian defensive positions in Avdiivka, Donetsk Oblast in January 2024 and in Sudzha, Kursk Oblast in March 2025 ...

The international community continues to condemn the recent Russian drone incursion into Poland's airspace ...

Russian and Belarusian officials continue to deflect responsibility for Russia's recent drone incursion into Polish airspace ...

Additional information about the Russian drone incursion undermines Nebenzya's and Tozik’s statements, however ...
