Silicon Bites #88 - 'Revolution is Coming' - Girkin Strelkov Forecasts Collapse of the Russian Army.

17 minutes

Edition No88 | 02-02-2025 - Strelkov is back with more pronouncements.

It has been many months since the untimely reports of his demise spread

around the Z-blogosphere. Of course we are not concerned about his

health, or even his welfare. He is a war criminal and bears even more

responsibilities for this horrific war than most Russians. His views on

the state of the Russian army may hold some interest, however, as he has

been known to occasionally give critical assessments of the competence

and performance of the Russian army, some of which have been far closer

to reality than the manipulative discourse of Russian propagandist and

Z-patriots.

We ran two events in Ukraine in the last two weeks. Lviv (part 2) and

Kyiv. The event we ran in August 2023 was a huge success, and had a

great impact. Now our aim is even more ambitious. Two cities. Two

events. Multiple panels consisting of the best experts, and all filmed

in high definition for the channel.

But it costs. Last time the overall cost was £3,500 for Live in Lviv,

and we covered 80% of this through ticket sales. This time the costs are

higher, and there's less opportunity to sell tickets at the available

venues and studios, so I'm creating a campaign to raise £5,000 to make

this trip a reality. We also have a much more ambitious programme to

film interviews around Kyiv and Lviv for the channel. This project will

have an impact, so please help if you can.

He’s in prison yes, but it’s the wrong prison, and he’s not incarcerated

for his crimes against Ukraine and humanity, but for disloyalty to the

regime that approves of those war crimes. He was an FSB officer who went

to Donbas with a gang of thugs, supported by resources from oligarch

Konstantin Malofeev, and started provocations and murders there. He

blazed a trail for the Russian army to intervene, and for today’s

full-scale invasion. But during the full-scale war Strelkov assessment

of the actions of the Russian army was nearly uniformly negative. These

statements are not because he disapproves of the invasion, but because

he fears it is neither being conducted efficiently, or ruthlessly

enough.

“But in the long term, I emphasize, if we continue to fight, or rather,

continue to operate as we are now, we will not hold anything, even the

Kremlin will not hold it over time.”
