October 14, 2024 527. Keir Giles - Russia's Next War - Who Will Defend Europe from an Aggressive and Militaristic Russia?
We are naturally focused on the war in Ukraine, as the largest such
conflict since WWII on the territory of Europe. But this is just the
latest manifestation of extreme aggression b Russia, in a pattern of
expansion and coercion of its neighbours that goes back centuries. In
this interview, Keir Giles explains the outline of future threats /
future wars, and whether its possible to deter the Kremlin from
returning Europe to a state of perpetual warfare. Is containing a
revanchist Russia the best we can hope for, or are there political,
social and structural problems that prevent Europe from mounting an
adequate defence. Are we in a race against time, where direct conflict
with Russia is practically unavoidable, and the stakes higher than we
can possibly imagine?
----------
Keir Giles has spent his career watching, studying, and explaining
Russia. Keir’s work has appeared in a wide range of academic and
military publications across Europe and in North America, and he is a
regular contributor and commentator on Russian affairs for international
print and broadcast media. He is a Senior Consulting Fellow at the UK's
Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House), and also
works with the Conflict Studies Research Centre (CSRC), a group of deep
subject matter experts on Eurasian security formerly attached to the
British Ministry of Defence. He is a regular contributor to research
projects on Russian security issues in the U.S., UK, and Europe.

October 13, 2024 2024-10-13 | @SiliconWafers | Ramzan Kadyrov Accuses Three Russian Lawmakers of Plot to kill Him.
2024-10-13 | None of us know what forms Putin’s nightmares take, but I’d
hazard a guess that open conflict between his mafia lieutenants would
feature in them. Adding the ethnic colour of a ‘blood feud’ is just an
additional theatrical flourish. This is what happened this week, as
Kadyrov threatened a ‘blood feud’, as he claimed a group of Russian
lawmakers were planning his assassination.

----------
In a video posted on his Telegram account on Oct. 9 Chechen strongman
Ramzan Kadyrov accused three Russian lawmakers of plotting to kill him.
He warned a "blood feud" would ensue if they could not prove their
innocence.
"If they don’t provide proof to the contrary, I officially declare a
blood feud against Barakhoyev, Suleiman Kerimov, and Rizvan Kurbanov. We
have witnesses, and we know the people they asked about the price of an
order [for my assassination]." Kadyrov claimed to other officials from
the North Caucasian republic. Kadyrov named three lawmakers, Bekhan
Barakhoyev, Suleiman Kerimov, and Rizvan Kurbanov, from neighbouring
Dagestan and Ingushetia, as potentially being the figures behind the
plot.
Before we delve into the current accusation, we must review some recent
history. There was a violent incident in September at the Moscow
headquarters of Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, in which
two people were killed and several others were arrested. A full Silicon
Wafers episode on this will be published next week. In that incident a
fight broke out when Vladislav Bakalchuk, the estranged husband of the
company's founder Tatiana Kim (formerly Bakalchuk), tried to "illegally"
enter the building with his security guards.

Will Blackburn
Author of "The War Next Door"
Will Blackburn never meant to write a book about Ukraine. For many years
he was happy selling software and living in London. The only
outstanding drama in his life had been a tour of Iraq with the
Territorial Army in 2003/4. A family crisis in 2015 precipitated a move
to Poland. In February of 2022 Will and his wife found themselves living
right on the border of a massive European war. He knew he could not
just stand by and be happy selling software. It was time to do
something. Once Will saw for himself the utter destruction and suffering
of Ukraine and its people, he realised that he had to document what he
was seeing. Those notes became the book about his journeys into Ukraine.
Will is now fully involved in sourcing equipment in support of Ukraine
and the convoys run by Fundacja Igora Tracza.

October 11, 2024 2024-10-11 | Is Israel at War with Russia After Strike Near Russian Base in Syria
2024-10-11 | This news is a week old, but more details are coming out,
so it’s worth taking a deeper dive into the Israel strike near the
Russian air base in Syria. The full impact of this has also not been
appreciated, I feel, I certain sections of the media, so let’s jump into
this story.
----------
Is Israel at war with Russia? Well, frustratingly this is a no, yes
answer to the question. Is it formally at war? No. Does the attack on
Russian munitions being delivered to Iran constitute a declaration of
war? No. Will Russia see it as such? Again no. But this is not a war
like WWII or the Cold War.
It’s a war without rules, where acts of aggression, terror and
provocation are carried out without restraint and without rules. Russia
is arming and conspiring with Israel’s enemies, of that there is no
doubt. Russia is providing deadly aid; in the full knowledge it will be
used by the proxies of it’s allies Iran to seek to slaughter Israeli
civilians. Russia indeed has close ties with these proxy forces sowing
death, terror, and chaos in the region, and Russia is fully cognisant of
their strategies and techniques.
Russia has probably assisted them in training as well as the provision
of the materials of death. So yes, this really is a kind of war, and
Russia is a full and willing participant in it. The grey zone war of
sabotage, illegality, cyber and informational attacks, and the warm war
of assassination and provocation.
WWIII may not resemble ‘hot’ wars of the past, but may play out in this
warm, grey zone of perpetual aggression, subversion of international
institutions and attacks in the informational space.

October 08, 2024 Silicon Bites #56 - Schrödinger's Terrorist: is Igor Strelkov (Girkin) Alive or Dead? Rumours Abound
Edition No55 | 06-10-2024 - Ukrainian officials in Chernihiv have told
residents not to swim in the Desna River after a toxic spill last
month. This video is based on the excellent reporting of Luke Harding
and Artem Mazhulin in Slabyn, Ukraine, from the UK’s Guardian newspaper.
~~~~~
‘Everything is dead’ – reports come in of a major ecocide event, after
rivers are poisoned. Ukrainian officials in Chernihiv have told
residents not to swim in the Desna River after a toxic spill last month.
This video is based on the excellent reporting of Luke Harding and
Artem Mazhulin in Slabyn, Ukraine, from the UK’s Guardian newspaper.
It won’t come as a surprise to anyone who’s paying attention, that
Russia is suspected of deliberately leaking chemical waste into rivers.
This has had deadly consequences already for wildlife within the waters
and surrounding ecosystems.
Hundreds of fish, including roach, pike, carp and other species, have
washed up on the Desna River’s willow-fringed banks.
“Everything is dead, starting from the tiniest minnow to the biggest
catfish,” explains Serhiy Kraskov, mayor of the village of Slabyn,
located in Ukraine’s northern Chernihiv region.

October 05, 2024 523.Lesia Dubenko - Israeli Strike Shows it's not Afraid of Russia when Upholding its Security Interests
Lesia Dubenko is a Ukrainian journalist and analyst featured in the
Financial Times, Politico Europe, New Eastern Europe, Washington Times,
and more. She’s currently affiliated with Ukraine’s media outlet
Euromaidan Press. You can follow her on Substack for a dose of good and
satirical commentary https://lesiadubenko.substack.com
----------
SUMMARY:
The West is conducting 'Preemptive self deterrence' with regards to
Russia, in a way that exudes weakness and morally amounts to appeasement
of evil acts and malign intent. This is likely caused at some level of
fear of Russia - its threats, its capacity of violence and also the
threat of its imagined collapse. Israel shows no such fear or restraint
in defending its own legitimate security interests, when it bombed arms
being delivered by Russia to sworn enemies of the Israeli state.

October 04, 2024 522. John Sweeney - Putin's Uniformed Gangsters have Captured Russian Society, Military, Media, Education

John Sweeney is a British investigative journalist and writer. He worked
for The Observer newspaper, and the BBC's Panorama and Newsnight
series. Sweeney ceased working for the BBC in October 2019, and is now
reporting on the war in Ukraine, as well as creating a Daily war diary.
Which I strongly advise you to watch if you’ve not seen it. He’s also
been working on a film, documenting the most brutal parts of the
conflict – ‘The Eastern Front’, which is released in June this year.
