Prison Insider Igor Strelkov Exposes the Role Schizophrenia Plays In Shaping Kremlin Policy And Why Thats a Good Thing

A good thing for people that hate Russia at least

Imprisoned Legendary God Father of the Russian Doomer Community Igor Strelkov has given an exclusive interview to everyone on Telegram that has Veteran Russia Watchers up in arms. Its long been assumed that Russia’s humanitarian implosion on the world stage is a 5D play straight from Sun Tzu where the strong side pretends to be weak and keeps pretending to be weak all the way to final defeat because actually leveraging strength and winning would be immoral. In this scheme the people running Russia are like the apotheosis of Prince Myshkin from Dostoevsky’s The Idiot who is simply too good for the world and the scheming, cynical people around him and accordingly he loses everything and ends his days as a vegetable. In this compelling narrative we observe how unlike the awakened Saxon who begins to hate the awakened Kremlinite begins to double down on moralitarion ethics which makes the Saxon hate the Kremlinite even more out of jealousy. After every provocation we the observers say “this time Mr Oreshnik will visit Brussels and London for sure” however the Kremlinite wows us by drawing another redline and retreating a bit further, adding another jewel to his crown of martyrdom.

Forgive me Respected Readers but I’m a bit of a Tech Boomer and I can barely use Substack so video editing is way beyond my capacity, and I can’t do subtitling. But the following clip is a compilation of Putin whining about being fooled. The Russian word for tricked or fooled is “Obmanul” and you will hear Putin saying that a lot here, at 2 seconds for example we hear “Prosto Naglo Obmanuli” which is “just blatantly tricked us”. At 4 seconds he says “Oni prosto vodili za nos..obmanuli” which means “they just led us by the nose and fooled us”. At 10 seconds Putin angrily exclaims “grubo kinuli” which is something like rudely rejected or left out. He means that Russia was rudely left out of the Western Order. Then at 11 seconds Putin in a calmer voice says “unfortunately we were tricked one more time” and so on and fourth. My favorite part is 20 seconds where he says “well it’s not the first time something like that has happened to us”.

When observing that clip it struck me that the martyr routine far being beautiful and noble is actually cringe AF with its only redeeming quality being that its funny at times. This is in very strong contrast to Strelkov in full on Carthage Delenda Est mode which is no laughing matter at all.

When we finally get our guys elected and turn things around that image in the picture above is going to be the last thing Zelensky or Soros or whoever sees before being ritually strangled in the forum.

Strelkov makes a bold claim that actually there is more than just peak ethics and a straight big bang universe creating storm of morality at play behind Moscows strategy, according to him schizophrenia plays an essential role as well.

The recent "vague activities" of our authorities (judging by the statements at the St Petersburg Economic Forum) such as "trying to move in different directions at the same time", reveal the complete lack of any strategy from our leadership. The mutually contradictory statements are a symbol of the "mental desolation" that has prevailed in Russia's governance since the "beginning of the collapse of the concept of a great energy power" (i.e., the "raw materials appendage" of the West) - that is, since about 2014. Until now (11 years later) This "desolation" has not only not been overcome, but has increased many times, resembling (in places) natural, "socio-political schizophrenia." At the same time, we are reviving "traditional values" and trying to "return to the arms of our dear American (and other) partners" who systematically destroyed and continue to destroy these values. We declare the need to transform the so—called "Ukraine" into a safe (for Russia) and neutral state, but we completely ignore the fact that it is absolutely impossible to achieve these goals without the complete defeat (military and political) of this state in its current form. We declare the "illegitimacy" of Zelensky and the entire "Ukrainian" government, but we constantly talk about our readiness to negotiate and conclude agreements with it. Finally, we are "rattling weapons" verbally, but in reality we are proud of the "capture of Komar and Dyleevka" — which (like dozens of other settlements taken earlier and not yet taken yet) have no strategic significance in themselves, while week after week sustaining blows to our deep rear which have a much greater significance and influence on the course of the military conflict. We are "fighting illegal migration" and in just a year we have legally brought 6 million completely non-assimilated and (overwhelmingly) non-orthodox foreigners to Russia. Finally, we are "striving for import substitution," but we persistently "strangle" our manufacturing sector with wild bank and loan rates, and we also do not provide the "flagships" of our machine-building industry with the government support they urgently need. We are "shouting with all our might" about "increasing the competence of the authorities" yet we are already allowing persons without higher education into educational institutions… And so it is everywhere, in everything ... And — what is most depressing — in the conditions of a very difficult and unsuccessful war, which is still absurdly called an SMO is being conducted "without straining", that is only by "law enforcement agencies" (and they cannot accomplish this task without the help and exertion of all the forces of the state). If we do not radically change our policy regarding the war and the economic restructuring of industry/economy to meet its needs in the near future, we risk suffering a crushing defeat in it (for our entire statehood). If we do not change the priorities of our entire state policy from "securing the private and corporate interests of a narrow group of individuals/corporations" to national interests, the state will collapse (at the same time burying the very "corporate structures" that "chop the branch they are sitting on", thoughtlessly devouring the remaining resources, including, the human resources of the rapidly shrinking state-forming Russian people. We're on the verge of disaster, but we don't even want to suspect it.…

Strelkov would have us believe that we aren’t actually watching a compelling morality play where the Kremlin is simply above protecting Russia and her National interest because that would require compromising its dove like innocence. According to Igor what we are seeing is actually more like the political equivalent of a modern art masterpiece. In all seriousness what can be said when Moscow is simultaneously yammering about traditional values while crowing that maybe American investors will return to Russia? 5D tool bags will crack a smug face and be like “heh….see the anal satanist are crawling back to Russia” when yesterday with that same smug face they were like “heh…Russia is cleansing itself of Western non Christian and non Islamic filth”. When the Kremlin simultaneously claims Zelensky is illegitimate and that they are ready to negotiate with Zelensky than just how much does the Kremlin actually care about International Law and Principles exactly? According to the 5D script what makes the Kremlin grate is its willingness to offer the entire Russian Nation as a burnt offering on the altar of ethics and morality but how exactly do these iron morals and ethics square with a willingness to negotiate with illegitimate authorities? Strelkov calls it socio-political schizophrenia which is a good way to put it, but extra emphasis needs to be placed on the “socio” part. All this contradictory noise where we are supposed to clap like trained seals when the foreign investors leave and also when they come back is meant for us in the peasantry. When every event that happens is a victory than the entire war is fake, that is it’s a stupid cartoon meant to keep us on our hamster wheel. When a headline along the lines of “how the Russian Central Banks high interest rates are helping kick start Russian Domestic Industry” would more than likely pass muster with Ritter and Johnson than we are in a situation where literally everything is proof of the Kremlins greatness no matter what the thing in question actually is. It’s no different than how vanilla basic bitch MAGA people will clap when Trump bombs Iran and they will clap when he says he has no plans to bomb anyone.

I still support the Russian troops on the ground even though I know that catastrophe is far more likely than final victory, actually its not even close. The real question is what the scale of the catastrophe is going be and that’s about it.

Speaking of the SMO I checked my faceberg for the first time since 2023 and came across this from a former colleague.

TCCC is tactical combat casualty care. 550$ a day plus perdiem means that whoever is going over to Ukraine to teach TCCC is making damn near 600$ a day and I’m assuming that they can go back every time a course comes up. Since my former colleague was asking around on Faceberg for volunteers that means this particular job isn’t considered one that needs to be kept discreet but the way this stuff works is that once the TCCC instructors are on the ground in the Ukraine they will be offered other jobs on the spot via word of mouth if they qualify for them. The thing is that more than likely DoD is the agency hiring here and shouldn’t DoD have a shit ton of military medics they could send to do this? Well this is IN UKRAINE, not Poland or Romania or the UK. That is this is a case of having boots on the ground without actually having them officially. Like I said, this here is the entry level stuff you can post on Faceberg, once whoever went to Ukraine was on the ground there is a whole new level of jobs on offer with according non-disclosure agreements and what not. Thats not the main reason I wanted to share this though. TCCC basically boils down to checking for bleeding and applying tourniquets it’s nothing especially difficult. The whole thing goes like this:

> Troops come under fire and some people are wounded

>The immediate concern is suppressing the incoming fire until the unit in contact neutralizes that threat

>In the meantime, the leader/whoever yells at the wounded guys to apply tourniquets to themselves and crawl/drag themselves into cover

>Once the volume and accuracy of enemy fire is low enough while simultaneously maintaining security the troops will check the wounded for additional bleeding and apply more tourniquets if necessary. The Leader on the ground at this point finds a suitable spot to conduct triage which means categorizing the wounded by severity with the intent of saving as many as possible. In other words, finding out who needs the most help and prioritizing them for evacuation. In the meantime, the wounded are continuously monitored and if need be, tourniquets are tightened and bandages applied etc.

Breaking that all down to its essence all that’s happening is the troops shoot back, yell at the wounded to drag themselves into cover and apply first aid to themselves and then when its safe enough move the wounded to a secure place. Then it’s a matter of categorizing who needs the help the fastest and keeping them alive until they can be handed off for higher level care. Anyone with commonsense should now be asking themselves why the Ukrainians after 3 plus years of brutal war against Russia need Americans to “teach” them this. Let’s think about it, none of my former colleagues have ever done TCCC under the volume of fire that many, many Ukrainians have. As someone with the same level of experience as the people who took up the offer to go to Ukraine at worst maybe some of these guys did TCCC after an IED strike followed up by some sniper fire or something like that. The Ukrainians already have countless people that speak Russian/Ukrainian that have done it under very heavy mortar and artillery fire, drone strikes, maybe even while getting hit by tanks etc. There honestly isn’t even any need for my former colleagues so what’s the deal?

Well, when I was in Afghanistan the State Department paid the company I was working for something like 3-4 times may daily pay for my presence on the ground. So, if the base daily pay minus perdium of these dudes in Ukraine is 550$ that means some Government Agency or Contactor is getting 2,200 a day. Subtract 550 and we have 1650 going to the Agency or Contractor. Multiply this by the relevant number people on the ground and we have a window into a classic pork barrel/MIC scam in action, remember, there is no conceivable reason the Ukrainians need these instructors when they have plenty of their own now that speak the local language and have way more relevant experience. I don’t blame any of my old buddies who are getting in on the scam at all though there is no amount of shekels in the world that could get me to help the hohols, even if only symbolically. In any case my property and family in Russia/Belarus means I could never get a security clearance again if I wanted to.

Closing out I want to run a small challenge. I honestly have no idea when/if I’ll turn on paid subscribers, it all depends on if my page grows a bit more and if I can tighten up my writing and editing skills to a level where I can psychology justify to myself demanding money. Should I ever do paid subscriptions though whoever can name what the following song is a cover of gets a paid sub. Reminder to any who have forgotten, Storm Z were MoDs penal shock troops, over at Ruriks blog there is a post where I did translation of a book about them.

Lyrics translation roughly as follows (in Russian the rhyme scheme actually makes this a great sing along):

One day in the attic I found a chest my uncle hid right here in 2023

Inside was a bunch of cool stuff from those good old days, a uniform with shining medals hanging on it!

My Uncle was a Commander in Storm Z!

My Uncle was a Commander in Storm Z!

My Uncle was a Commander in Storm Z!

In the Motor Infantry My Uncle served, bringing order to Ukraine

Leaving not a single swine alive and showing traitors no mercy

My Uncle was a Commander in Storm Z!

My Uncle was a Commander in Storm Z!

My Uncle was a Commander in Storm Z!

Today and forever I’m always inspired by my old Uncle in that Uniform, the Zeks (prisoners) in our time shine the very brightest, a valiant brotherhood chasing down swine

Storm Z for the Russia people!

Storm Z destroying the swine!

If you aren’t Russian you have no place on our Land!

Glory to Russia and our Country!

Storm Z!
