Boring Headline, Dull Picture

 





25.03.2022 (17:29)

Speech of the Head of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Colonel General Sergei Rudskoy

That IS a tedious headline, isn't it?

Whilst over here the BBC is currently providing us with all sorts of Eye-Catchers such as:

Ukraine war: A dangerous escape on the 'Rescue Express'

By Fergal Keane

BBC News, Lviv

Published1 day ago



There are many such stories as these (as Fergal Keane himself might
begin it ) night after night, day after day, hour after hour, a constant bombardment of relentless melodramatic prose-style such as this paragraph of mine :-

'We wait among the anxious and exhausted, the families calming scared children, the elderly woman wrapped in a blanket and pulling a suitcase. She looks as if she cannot possibly walk another step. But she will trudge forward when the all-clear is given. This is not a place of options. Go forward, or run the risk of the war catching up with you.'

This sort of stuff, of course, is alternated with
expert-sounding Big Picture assessments of the Military Theatre of Operations that always somehow make it sound as if Russia is incurring vast losses between 'deliberately targeting civilians' and with such Wishful Thinking bylines, always posed as a question, as 'Is Russia admitting invasion not going to plan?'

BBC News:  War in Ukraine: Change of emphasis or admission of failure by Moscow?

Well, if you want to find out what Russia is or is not admitting, why do you not go directly to the source and find out for yourself rather than try and pass off your own editorialised Second Guessing as News?

So that is where my boring headline comes in - because it is, in fact,  a lengthy factual assessment of the course of the Military Operation thus far as interpreted by the Russian Military High Command, replete with logistical information, itemised Facts and Figures and so forth,  which you can choose to believe or not, but which does at least read as if the speaker knows what he talking about, even if he doesn't, and does at least seem like an attempt at serious factual analysis based on the collation of Field Data rather than merely adhering to the single Editorial Policy demanded of every British MSM outlet at present.

So here it is - and may the difficult unuser-friendly typeface provide many minutes of ponderous and uninspiring reading :-

  Back on 31st March, I put - 'One thing is clear - Zelensky, who has done nothing but urge on a Fight to the Finish, which was always a foregone conclusion, will in time become the most hated man in the Ukraine. Or he would be if he was living in the Ukraine, which he isn't. His reward will be the wealthy retirement abroad which was already arranged for him before the first day of the deliberately provoked Military Operation. And it is a Military Operation, not an Invasion.' https://csarlog.blogspot.com/2022/03/a-word-to-wise-or-even-average-briton.html?m=1 I know I am Preaching to the Choir here, but the average British Civilian needs to know that the Truth is NOT a Moving Target and that on this basis events can fairly be predicted. All that is required is to completely disregard cognitive dissonance. (Which apparrently is nigh on impossible for most) And it only alienates the THICKbrits - er, sorry - 'British Civilians' - further if one constantly refers t

 THICKbrit journalism at its worst - which cannot help but make the THICKbrits who read it even more brain-split and therefore even more manipulable - polite word for THICK - than ever, in true Doublethink-style.  Because the Mail here presents the actual words of the dialogue, the meaning of which is absolutely clear on behalf of both parties :- Tokayev :- ''We don't recognise Taiwan [direct statement that they support Communist China's stance on Taiwan, in direct contradiction to NATO's]   Kosovo, South Ossetia or Abkhazia... we apply this principle to the quasi-state territories, which in our view, are the Luhansk and Donetsk peoples' Republics' [thus refusing to acknowledge the latter two Republics' desire for their own Sovereignty and Independence ] Putin :- "What is the Soviet Union? This is historic Russia." [A direct repudiation of the Totalitarian Socialism of the Cold,War Years] But in a story helpfully headlined 'Prepare to fight

 In the 1980s, when the Warsaw Pact under Russia was intact under Communism, this was how Republican President Ronald Reagan was typically portrayed. Republicans were routinely called 'Hawks' and the Democrats were routinely called 'Doves'. Watching the ITV reportage tonight, the Newscaster managed to 'blame' Donald Trump for the current situation in the very first sentence-off-the-autocue and later on, and the video  clip is included here, ITV's 'Europe Editor' explains that having Democrat Joe Biden as President has meant that this strong re-establishment of the American Presence in Europe has become feasible, but that the Leaders are worried what might happen if a Republican President like Donald Trump was elected in two years time.
