To su kompaniije sa americkim kapitalom. Lenovo je prepakovani IBM, a Xiaomi je prosle godine, kada su Ameri hteli da zveknu sankcije i njima, objavio da su njegovi najveci akcionari zapravo tri americka investicionog fonda i svi problemi su nestali preko noci. Naravno, to je provuceno kao sudska zabrana uvodjenja sankcija, pred istim onim sudovima koji su rutinski odjebavali sve moguce i nemoguce tuzbe i podneske stranih kompanija.
Drugim recima, u pitanju je ocigledno delovanje nevidljive ruke slobodnog trzista.

According to Kirill Stremousov, deputy chairman of the military-civil administration of the Kherson region, the region will return the coat of arms of the times of the Russian Empire.

Zadnjih četiri-pet dana Bajraktari svaki dan napadaju na Zmijsko ostrvo, izgleda da su našli stazu kojom mogu bezbijedno do njega i koriste tu priliku dok traje. Prvo su gađali zgradu za koju kažu da je komandni centar, onda neko vozilo (vjerovatno pvo sistem bilo je sekundarnih eksplozija) pod ceradom, juče su uništili pvo sistem Tor i jutros jedno plovilo i hangar u kom su takođe bila neka vozila. A ostrvo je veličine par fudbalskih terena.

I dalje je legitimnije i pozeljnije od statua Bandere ili Suskevica.
Kad smo kod toga, bokser upozorava ljude da ce 9. maja biti pojacan nadzor ulica Kijeva i patroliranje vojske. Implicitno - nemoj da smo videli nekoga da slavi 9. maj u bilo kom obliku. Cisto da ukazem, to su ovi sto tvrdite da su isto ucestvovali u WW2, da su bili na pobednickoj strani, da imaju pravo da slave bas kao i Rusi itd.

Harkov počinje da izgleda kao novi Kijev. Ne znam gde su te konsolidovane i reorganizovane ruske jedinice, ali tamo, čini se, nisu.

Pa nisu tamo, juznije su, prema Izjumu i dalje. Glavni cilj je Kramatorsk (bozemeprosti, isprva napisah Krematorsk...) i Slavjansk.

Zelenski kao glavni uslov za nastavak pregovora traži povlačenje ruskih snaga na linije od prije 24. februara. Skromnije i realnije nego kad je tražio povlačenje i iz Donbasa i sa Krima.

Lend-Lease & Escalation
...
As the best known history of Lend-Lease remarks: “The Lend-Lease Act marked the point of no return for American policy regarding Hitler’s Germany.” Lend Lease tied together the separate struggles in Europe and Asia to create by the end of 1941 what we properly call World War II.
...
It is striking - to say the least - that already in January 2022, before Putin’s invasion, the US Congress had taken up Lend-Lease as the historical inspiration for a legislative measure that frees the Biden administration’s hands in providing aid to Ukraine.
The Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act was unanimously approved by the Senate and passed by the House of Representatives by a vote of 417 to 10. Now, according to remarks made by press secretary Psaki, Biden may sign it into law on May 9th.
Will a new Lend Lease Act be America’s answer to Putin’s “Victory day”?
As well-informed defense journalists point out, the Lend Lease Act of 2022 adds very little to Biden’s already extensive powers to support to Ukraine. Far more consequential in that regard are the $33 billion in additional aid that Biden has requested. But that isn't the point of the Congressional measure
...
Symbolism aside, the scale of the aid now being envisioned by the Biden administration is unprecedented. As Ben Freeman and William Hartung point out at Responsible Statecraft
if Congress signs off on this new request the U.S. will have authorized $47 billion in total spending to Ukraine. That’s more than the Biden administration is committing to stopping climate change and almost as much as the entire State Department budget.
This is twice the maximum amount of money ever provided in a single year to the Afghan army (as opposed to money spent by the US in Afghanistan) and seven times the US military aid budget for Israel. The total request amounts to one third of Ukraine’s prewar GDP. As far as Ukraine is concerned, the US is bankrolling a total war effort and the US political class has with near unanimity declared that the appropriate historical analogy for this effort is 1941 - “All measures short of war”.
...
In openly declaring our intention to adopt all measures short of war to ensure Russia’s military defeat and in invoking Lend Lease in doing so, we must surely ask ourselves that question, what is our theory of Putin? And beyond Putin what is our model of the escalatory dynamics at work in 2022?
In swathing ourselves in historic garments, are we inviting Putin to do the same? Are we inviting him to fully inhabit the role of the maniacal dictator who can only be crushed out of existence? Are we, as in 1941, crossing the point of no return? Are we, consciously or not, assuming further escalation?
In so doing, are we assuming that escalation will have the same kind of “happy end” that World War II eventually had for the United States in 1945? The kind of “happy end” that makes Lend Lease into a myth shrouded in good feelings - a grand chapter. in the “American story”?
Or, are we, in fact, hoping that 2022 unfolds as 1941 did not? That Putin is not suicidal? That this time the escalation remains confined to Ukraine and Russia? That this becomes, as some American strategists envisioned Lend Lease in 1941, a calculated exercise in using the dogged resistance of a client - then the British now Ukrainians - to attrit a geopolitical antagonist?
These are not comfortable questions. So much so that merely raising them can lay you open to accusations of defeatism. But that is beside the point. Supplying weapons may well be the best thing to do under the circumstances. It is certainly what the Ukrainian government is asking for. But to weigh the consequences of our actions and the risks attendant on them, to assess the costs and who pays them is a basic imperative of responsible politics. In so doing we need a clear head and democracy demands that clarity is not just something that is achieved behind closed doors.
Ukrainians at this moment may need history to give them courage. For us to revel in mythic references to the 1940s and “the American story” is a shameful, sentimental self-indulgence. If we are to evoke the past at all, let us do so in a critical and exploratory fashion, not to “prove” facile points one way or another, but to better understand how we arrived at this moment and to infer what its possibilities and risks might be.

Both Yesterday and the day before lower resolution satellite imagery showed fighting closer to the city, and I've been mapping it accordingly, but I'm still shocked at the apparent ferocity of the fighting around Izyum and how close it has gotten to the city. pic.twitter.com/f12fIwiJUx

Also, note there's no evidence of any bridgehead under firm Ukrainian control, so there's no 'blue' on my map in the areas with fighting. This is because the units there are likely highly mobile, ambush and harassment units. However, I assess that Russia has lost firm control.

Змијско острво постаде најбитнији део војишта...
Руско МО је изјавило да су Украјинци покушали да изврше десант на острво, те да су им том приликом уништили неколико БПЛ, један ловац Су-27, бомбардер Су-24, 3 хеликоптера и један десантни чамац (могуће са све десантом унутра).
Тако да су украјинске акције претходних дана према острву биле само припрема за већу операцију.

Ne kapiram ni Ruse ni Ukrajince. Jedina veća i manje pokretna meta od broda je ostrvo.

Мало је чудан снимак местимично. Највише што су гађали острво са мале висине, без успорења на упаљачима.
