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

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. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras 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. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- 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.” ---------- SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- NEWS SOURCES: This episode is adapted from a report that appeared on Michael Naki’s YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRDDItFxoQc&t=5s ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.
