This article is pretty much spot on with my own assessment to date. The author has also got experience in a Russian security environment, which I do not, but in general, the security stagnation issues he mentions are endemic to all security services, regardless of nationality.
The specific Russian approach to “stress testing” is the one item that in my experience of Russians, is quite unique to them; and as it happens an element I not only agree with and enjoy, but a way of doing things I have always tried to foster in any business or security activity I had any authority to influence.
It’s also why Russian special ops train with live ammo. Sure you might lose a few trainees, but you bet it pays in saved lives in actual conflicts.
It is an attitude that faces reality head on instead of the by now standard Western response: pretend reality will mould to your desires, followed by pretending to ignore the consequences of such an idiotic approach. Which is why I have always preferred the “face reality” approach, even before I met any Russians, and like them, I have often been accused of being brutal, heartless, merciless and so on.
But this is only the appearance from the perspective of a mollified, spineless excuse for a man from the West who think being metrosexual and possibly bisexual once in a while is perfectly normal and acceptable.
It isn’t. In reality, in nature, facing reality objectively is the safest, smartest, and ultimately best long-term strategy.
Add in belief in God and solid faith based in Christianity, and you have a formidable winning formula. Yes you will be accused of brutality, mercilessness, opportunism, and many other names, but those are mere spitballs fired by weaker, less effective “men” and do not count for anything beyond “perception” which is not to say they are not harmful, but, in the place where rubber meets road and steel meets bone, perception is a very thin shield.
An analogous example might serve to illustrate the point.
When I lived in London and was single, I had several… umm… short term relationships let’s say, with a few exceptions of longer duration with Russian women and some East block ones.
Such women in the West were normally seen as heartless gold diggers, shark-like, little different from professional prostitutes intent on draining you of life, money and ultimately set to discard you like a spent husk.
And yet, my experiences were invariably positive. So much so that even this aspect of their appearance was something I discussed with these women. And they simply and honestly agreed that, of course, weak men (which includes all those pretending to be “manly” tough men) deserve nothing more than to become welcome mats for them to clean their six inch heel Jimmy Choos on.
There was no denying the effect of turning up to a work function or Christmas party with one of these women, the looks of envy from both men and women and the corresponding status bump in the eyes of the company owners was almost immediate and obvious, which did not always translate into positives in the work front, depending on the level of general sexual frustration the owners had, but the assumptions made about the women I turned up with, were also invariably the same, that while they looked like supermodels, and gave off an air of sensual sexuality, they probably had the morals of a praying mantis.
And they did. IF you were the equivalent of a male praying mantis, that is, biologically driven to subjugate all to the needs of your dick.
If, on the other hand, you were your own man, doing your own thing, able to ignore the allure of the sexy Russian girl when it suited you to do so and to activate it again when it suited you, then, in such cases, I found that East block women were some of the most sensual, loyal and genuinely awesome girlfriends.
What does this have to do with Russian military strategy? It’s the same thing. If you are able to take the pain of doing what needs doing, of exposing the weak spots and updating the old guard with fresh minds set on reality instead of set in their ways, you will only gain.
And the reward will be a functional, efficient, loyal military that will accomplish feats the rest of the Western world at this point sees only as myth.
The current “teething problems” are not only to be expected on the basis of Von Clausewitz’s adage that no plan survives contact with the enemy, but should be obvious are a strategic necessity. Putin took the hits and bided his time from even before 2014.
He spent well over a decade shoring up the Russian economy, getting rid of oligarchs that were corrosive to the Nationalising plans he put in place. He was brutal in excising inefficiency in his own government departments, humiliating and getting rid of incompetents in a manner that lit a fire under everyone’s ass.
And you think the slow-go of the special military operations are because he’s fumbling?
You’d have to be an idiot to think so even if you didn’t have any insights into the Russian mindset. Just like a sexy, potentially loyal and feminine Russian woman will test and push and pull and while she enjoys herself in your bed, the Russian military has been having fun while testing, stretching and figuring out what the West has in stock.
And while it is “interesting” it isn’t all that.
So the ante will be raised and the West gradually boiled. Just like that weak man-frog would be by the Russian girl.
And just like I noticed such interactions in society when I saw some hapless Englishman approach or maybe even manage to entertain a Russian woman for a little while, I sit here observing the doomed interaction with a knowing little smile, while I hustle to try and do the same thing Russia did since 2008 at least:
Prepare for winter. A long winter of a couple of decades that is, not just the one leading to Christmas 2022. I am ready for that one to a degree very few people around the planet are, despite being, like Russia was for the last couple of decades, relatively “poor” and with a “non-functioning” economy. But let’s say I am in an equivalent position to 2014. It will be rough, but I will survive easily the provocations of the Victoria Neulands and Israeli Mossad spearheaded “Maidans”, while I keep shoring up and securing my personal situation.
What about you, gentle reader? Are you ready to take on sexy lady winter and win?
Russian Winter as seen by Napoleon, Hitler, and others.
I hope so.
