Mr. Unz,
Thanks for the reset.

Most readers here are wise enough to avoid it, but I was briefly exposed to The Witcher: Blood Origin on Netflix. It confirms why Henry Cavill quit the main show in disgust.
In a 4 episode mini series with only one main male character, one would think that they could at least avoid a gay kiss sub plot…. Nope…. Got that too. It managed to score 8% positive on Rotten Tomatoes.
WOW! This abomination is more “SJW Woke” than Rings of Power.
A suitably critical video review is below.

Though Medvedev’s details are probably off, the general idea is not at all far fetched.
People in the United States for some time now have been being psychologically conditioned via the corporate mass media for a new civil war, just as they have been being conditioned for a new world war.
I think this particular Civil War would be of the Russian variety of a hundred years ago, sparked by a Red October 2.0 like event (ie a no holds barred Communist Revolution, perhaps occurring as in Russia’s case in the midst of a world war) in the United States. I think the term ‘civil war’ in this instance is a bit of a misnomer, however, as I see this rather as primarily a war against identity, ie peoplehood.
Relatedly, I’ve posted before how the United States since the time of it’s founding in 1776 has consciously modeled itself upon Rome. For instance, the land carefully chosen to construct Washington DC upon had once been called Rome, complete with its own Tiber running through it. [See ‘Rome and Washington DC’ link below]
Indeed, since the very founding of the United States, point by point of it’s history has closely paralleled that of ancient Rome’s.
And so it is today that the recent Trump presidency closely parallels the late Roman republic’s First Triumvirate, a triumvirate which would ultimately dissolve in a civil war, the latter (as depicted in the statuary below) consisting of the Roman billionaire and real estate speculator Marcus Crassus (middle), his young up and coming political protégé Julius Caesar (left), and the Roman general Pompey (right). [See link on ‘First Triumvirate’]
The close parallels between Crassus and Trump, and Pompey and Pompeo, are obvious. [See ‘Pompeo and Pompey’ link]
Trump has already declared his 2024 presidential candidacy, and Pompeo will announce his decision in this regard in the coming Spring.
And does Trump, just as Crassus with his Julius Caesar, also have a young up and coming political protégé?
Yes, he does, and his name is Jared Kushner. [For an unusual, though intriguing, description of Jared Kushner, see excerpt and link below. The full article is well worth a read.]
Julius Caesar would ultimately rise above his political patron Crassus, defeat Pompey, and rise to the top.
Though Jared Kushner seems inactive at the moment politically, life is full of surprises. Will he, too, rise above his political patron, Donald Trump, defeat Pompeo, and rise to the top?
We shall see…

The piviot is to India…this has two goals, to use India as a wedge and to have somewhere for U.S companies to tap cheap wages to continue the massive profits.
Problem is India will be the asset strippers of the West, they are masters of lying and grifting.
Global supply chain disruptions placed unstoppable momentum on national security issues. This emphasizes the need for domestic production (and reliable adjacent partners). Even regimes bribed by Xi, such as Not-The-President Biden's, are compelled to begin gradual decoupling. The H1B/OPT scam lies exposed to everyone. MAGA held neither the Senate nor the House during Trump's first term. Thus, there was no Legislative fix for the President to sign to reign in these "must issue" programs.

Indeed. Thanks to Russia and its leaderships Ukrainaphobic war (is this better than saying “genocidal war”?) against Ukraine. Had not Russia invaded Ukraine, the children of Ukraine would be living more normal lives, like they did before the war. The photo may be fake, but the sentiment is 100% true and accurate. Russia, go back to Russia.
Between 2014-21 around 500 children were killed by the Kiev army in Donbas. Most at the beginning but what difference does that really make? Your justification, other than to pretend that it didn't happen or was 'ancient history by 2022, is that they brought it on themselves by wanting autonomy, language rights and friendship with Russia.
By that logic we could say that the Ukie suffering today is caused by their stubborn resistance and desire for alliance with Nato. They could just give up and there would be no suffering. As you claimed the Donbas Russians could have given up.
Until you address the situation in a symmetric and objective manner we will get nowhere. To scream "go back to Russia" is both ugly and pointless. They are not going anywhere, they live there, maybe the border was drawn in the wrong place. (Your Mexican friends in Arizona may say something similar one day.)Replies: @Mikhail, @Philip Owen, @Mr. Hack, @AP
Also recall, Poroshenko saying years back that the children of Donbass would be in basements getting bombed, while Kiev regime children would be going to school and playing outside. Then again, you might believe the convoluted notion that the Kiev regime wasn't bombing Donbass prior to 2/24/22.
As for Russia, note the neocon/neolib geopolitically selective "humanitarian intervention" characterization.Replies: @Mikhail

China is no longer being talked of as the next world power precisely because the ZUSA is losing its grip at an accelerating rate. The past few years as it moved from being unlikely to probable, you have the regime propagandists and think-tank swamp creatures sound the alarm bell to try and “contain” China. That didn’t work.
Now as we move from probable to near certainty, the people in charge are changing strategies. The cabal at the heart of this infestation are ultimately solipsists. They believe in word spells, that if they repeat a lie often enough it becomes reality, after all it has how they have retained power in the west so far. So they repeat their mantras – “demographic collapse”, “three gorges dam collapsing three times a year”, “chinese cannot innovate”, in the vain hope that they can will it into reality.
Agree regarding India. The dung beetles will carry off the last of the wealth after the Zionists have sucked the corpse dry.

Should Slavs adopt this technology?
For all the focus everyone here seems to have on the Russia-Ukraine War, and other issues such as the demographic replacement of native European populations, Israel-Palestine, and etc. everyone seems to have forgotten something more basic.
The whole “Covid” affair is a deliberate political agenda implemented by ruling elites the world over (Lukashenko’s Belarus and Tanzania along with some other African country are the only exceptions I forgot iirc) to enslave their populations with Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and Digital Identities (so Social Credit, like China, but worse because at least China’s is anti-LBTQ+ or whatever while in the “West” it will be pro-LGBTQ+). Literally, Feudalism and even Slavery are going to look like child’s play compared to what’s coming for masses the world over.
Since it’s clear that 2023 will most likely be a year of great enslavement where the “Covid” agenda will likely come to completion, my question is does anyone here have any advice on how to make slavery under “Covid”, CBDCs, and Digital IDs more bearable or tolerable?
Like how to lose less money, avoid censorship, surveillance, and etc. Even small tips and tricks for daily life like avoiding QR code smartphone registration in stores. For example, one can sort of evade fully wearing a Covid mask in most situations, but that’s small solace for what’s coming in 2023 …
This is for those who claim that “Covid deniers”, “Anti-vaxxers” and so on are simply “insane” and their case has no merit. The Twitter thread even has Elon Musk’s approval, but Musk is most likely in on the agenda of mass enslavement as he’s probably there to balance a little bit of free speech with CBDCs and Digital IDs.

Stay out of debt and cultivate useful skills. There is a massive shortfall of competent workers in all the trades, and this can be leveraged favorably by those with some work ethic and ability.
Find (or cultivate) a community of like-minded people who can rely on you and you them. The biggest first step is to find out who one's neighbors are build bonds. There are no perfect groups, so see if you can work with who you have around you. Chances are you'll have a better time of it than you expect, though you'll have a better chance in the rural areas. For myself, having a lot of like-minded folks around us during the Covid craziness made it virtually impactless. We pretty much just lived our lives.
Don't go down the slippery slope of technological adoption. Don't get a smartphone, stay off social media, don't get your kids phones, and do real stuff with your family and neighbors. This will also go a long way to facilitating my point above. They can only really force you to play the game if you are willing to go along with it.
When they were going full vaxx-Nazi a lot of people around me were paying attention to what stores were on our side and were going to serve us no matter what. Needless to say, these are independent and locally owned, not chains. But regardless of whether they go Covid-Nazi again in the future (or whatever the next deal is) I think that all of the above is pro-social and useful. It's basically what I've been doing since I bought my land in 2008, and I think you could do a lot worse.
My apologies if all the above sound painfully obvious or banal, but I really think that as individuals we can't really change the trajectory of society. However, if we start building those communal bonds and looking more inward maybe we'll find that it will do more to materially change our world than anything else.
But is the sentiment complete? Or do you again focus only on your own?

According to the UN, the total number of children killed was not 500 but 152:

Page 3:
"During the entire conflict period, from 14 April 2014 to 31 December 2021, OHCHR recorded a total of 3,106 conflict-related civilian deaths (1,852 men, 1,072 women, 102 boys, 50 girls, and 30 adults whose sex is unknown)."
And none in Kharkiv. Why?
Because Russia didn't go across the international border and pour fighters and weapons into Kharkiv to create a war there. Fortunately Kiev, in a similar position to Assad or Putin, was far more humane. Well, one of the excuses for the invasion of Ukraine was to stop those killings. But they had essentially stopped several years prior to the invasion. In 2021, 7 people were killed in active hostilities, not a single one was a child (UN report, see link above).
But Russia has killed plenty of children since starting this invasion.
https://thehill.com/policy/international/3791409-nearly-7000-civilians-have-now-been-killed-in-ukraine-war-un/
391 children have been killed since Russia invaded.
Mostly Russian-speaking children in eastern Ukraine. Russia brought it upon them by starting a civil war, whose first commanders were Russians from Russia such as Girkin. The liar Beckow pretends that there is no difference between laws within a country and the right of foreign countries to do what they want. And you fail to do so. The most symmetric comparison to the Donbas rebellion would be Chechnya. Putin subdued Chechnya by killing 10,000s of Chechen civilians and Russia wasn't invaded by anybody in response. The most symmetric comparison to the Russian annexation of Crimea and Donbas would be the German annexation of Sudetenland and Danzig. The most symmetric comparison of the invasion of Ukraine proper would be the German invasion of Poland and the Soviet invasion of Finland. You support all of those? Poland, after all, refused all requests by Germany to join Germany in an alliance and instead stayed with Germany's enemies France and Britain.Replies: @Beckow

Ernst Junger: Between the Gods and the Titans
Alain de Benoist
tr. Greg Johnson & F. Roger Devlin
Middle Europe Books 2022
There is little new in this book. It is a watered-down presentation of Ernst Junger’s The Worker ideology. Since The Worker is impenetrable for so many this book is useful. For some of us this book is essential. It is not enjoyable to read as it presents a large amount of really bad news in 177 pages.
Consider the possibility of a Ted Kazcynski who wasn’t bug nuts. That is the closest comparison I can imagine to this book.
Essential backstory.
Ernst Junger fought, nearly died, and survived fourteen wounds in the first World War. He was awarded the Iron Cross First Class and at the end of the war he was in a hospital. His acclaimed book Storm of Steel is the story of his transformative experience of the war. Junger might have been the greatest nihilist who ever lived. Sample sentence.
p.142
If you thought crazy Ted Kaczynski telling us the singularity has already arrived and us NPC consumers are all effectively paper clips, well you have another thing coming pal. That is nonsense. Ernst Junger makes sense.
There is more although the gist here is probably already apparent. Some good news.
p. 28
Utils are worth very little. Usually this is a cop-out but Junger had plenty of utils so it pays to attend to his message. Benoist pares it down concisely. Also the Prime Directive of Technology is that possible implies desirable to some clever jackass who can rig up a rationale. All this needs cooking down for most because we are in Heidegger Being toward Death territory.
One bonus in the book is it contains a presentation for the untranslatable Heidegger meme. If you have tried reading any of those book translations you might consider this a big relief. I have heard and read a number of people I consider credible repeat this. For the first time ever I have a chapter and verse usable for citation purposes if I need it. It’s on page 136 of this book in a quotation from one of Junger’s letters. Just that one little tidbit might justify the purchase.
Last item. This book also contains the remark (by Armin Mohler) that Der Arbeiter (The Worker) is itself untranslatable. On p. 157.
I could say more. Read the book! But be advised there is something dreadfully depressing on roughly one half the pages.

In August of 2021, Zelensky drifted in that direction, when he said that those liking Russia and speaking Russian should go there – thus contradicting what he said earlier. His newer take serves as a basis for parts of the former Ukrainian SSR to be reunited with Russia.
Wagner’s convicts are not skilled but they are advancing in a very rigid way quite possibly as sitting ducks for locating Ukrainian positions (per drones that are always overhead of Wagner assaults bands) when the Ukrainian open fire. The convict Wagerites’ lack of skills is a feature, not a bug. They are quite possibly not there to take territory and are expected to die in the process of not taking it. Bakhmut may not be perfect for the Russians but it is where they have the firepower and Ukrainians standing and fighting . We do not know how many causalities Russian fires are inflicting , yet given the Russian artillery advantage in Bakhmut Ukraine is taking significant casualties is certain. If is really is good for Ukraine the way the Russians are going about whatever they are trying to do in Bakhut, why do the Ukrainians keep telling the world that the Russian tactics in Bakhmut are stupid? RusFed individuals being lost there are almost entirely convicts and them being KIA is a saving to the Russian taxpayer.
Bakhmut is where Russia has the firepower and Ukrainians standing and fighting and these are some of the best and most determined units in the Ukrainian being pinned or ‘fixed’ in Bakhmut where they are immobile and easy to bombard instead of being free for surprise offensives. Meanwhile the VDV (professional core of the Russian army) has been resting and refitting after being withdrawn from West bank Kherson months ago.
I think Surovikin has the wherewithal for an offensive using his most capable and now freed troops for mobile operations while putting the hundreds of thousands of mobilised reservists (who include officers with combat experience) to man the fortified defensive positions. It is possible that Bakhmut is going so well as a battle of attrition for Russia that Surovikin wants to keep it going, instead of begining a huge mobile offensive which would be extremely tricky in the face of American surveillance capabilities, and if enjoying any serious success might precipitate the Ukrainians being given the intel for real time targeting with HIMARS and possibly ATACMS.

♦ Manda-Vaxxers
♦ Vaxx-Realists
One can make a Vaxx-Realist case for voluntary vaccine promotion to elderly with multiple preexisting conditions, and other very high risk groups. Mandatory vaccination of healthy adults and children is absurd authoritarianism.

As for Ron Unz, his recent article on WW1 is actually interesting. I have a powerful addition to make of an interesting book that I've yet to give a read:

Why do WW2 Historical Revisionism when you can do WW1 Historical Revisionism instead!
Sadly, thanks for confirming that commenting on Unz Review is probably a waste of time. Also more generally hoping for any meaningful sort of change or improvement from the vast majority of "normies". This other book explains why that's the case.

Ukraine nationalists also tore down a 1900 circa statue of Cathrine the Great located in Odessa. No great statue but traces of the 17th century persona of Catherine were the main attraction for tourism.
The Ukies are just bunch of white niggers already. They’ve gone full BLM.
You cheapen the actual historical statues being torn down in the USA by equating them to this statue of Catherine. And this, is a perfect example of the debased and ignorant nature of pro-Russian Western rightoids.Replies: @Mikhail
If the Russia s use enough infantry this time around, with all the frozen rivers and streams and flood the area with 1000s of tanks the Ukies are going to be broken. They’ve learned lessons on integrating drones into the squad level now and have loitering munitions aplenty.
If they can't break the Ukies at these locations after months of trying, I don't see how they can dream of a successful re-invasion. Btw, the McGregorian/Sakerian proposition of these local battles being a mouse trap to grind the Ukrainian forces down with the Russians just pretending that they cannot take them is a tale that I wouldn't dare tell my 8-year old son.
If they improve their tactics and gather sufficient strength, the Russians may finally pull another Lisichansk in Bakhmut but then they have all the rest of heavily fortified Donetsk oblast to conquer and the part of Lugansk that they lost (after taking Lisichansk).

The lives of Ukrainian citizens are more important than “tourists”. It’s not a neutral statue. It’s a figure that is used to justify the murder of Ukrainian citizens (and potentially citizens of other countries). It’s that simple. The time for long conversations, explanations and “ceremonies” is over.
You’re saying there are no mobiks near Bakhmut? Or volunteers even? Btw, the zeks (convicts), at one point, will dry up, too, even if not immediately (only a certain percentage of zeks accept the deal to go and their number is finite).
Are you sure it doesn’t work both ways? That, despite hardship for Ukrainians, they are not “holding”, “pinning down” the RFians in one area? The RFians are advancing from an open field. Behind Bakhmut on the Ukrainian side, there is Slovyansk and Kramatorsk, that’s a solid rear. From the north and the south, there are Ukrainian troops as well.
Surovikin took over while Russia was still over extended in Kherson and getting blown up by HIMARS. He pulled back, consolidated and the prime HIMARS target of ammunition dumps are now 70 miles to the rear making them out of HIMARS’s range
I don’t think Surovikin is looking forward to actually attacking because he is rather slow to get started. It could be argued he is waiting to the right weather conditions while training his resrvists into a combat ready force, yet that is a double edged sword because he is giving Ukraine time to dig in and, call up more men ECT. Supposing he made a hundred miles or more advance, that that would entail bringing his logistics hubs into HIMARS range. Although the Russians have learned to cope somewhat with HIMARS, America has held back the most effective weapon (ATACMS), and real time targeting enabled by the all seeing constant US surveillance, but would surely release it to Ukraine for such an eventuality as a Surovikin blitz driving hundreds of miles West.
The huge Russian reinvasion force being built up very far behind the front line is a very real and growing threat, but I think it is most effective as such where it is, while Ukraine is being slowly attrited in Bakhmut and finding West bank Kherson is a dead end. In my opinion the preference of Surovikin is to fight a defensive battle close to home in prepared positions. In Bakhmut the incremental progress of the Russian army is being made by heavy fires of artillery easilly supplied and the KIA are convicts no one will miss.
Throwing the VDV professional soldier core of the army and the recently mobilised reservists, who are husbands and fathers in a great many cases, into a long fighting advance across the Ukrainian flatlands with a vulnerable supply ‘tail’ in its wake would be provoking a reaction from America and consequent new effectiveness of Ukrainian missile attacks on command and control and logistics hubs, risking the spearheads being cut off and suffering heavier losses than have been suffered so far.
No argument there. That is a massive, gaping double standard. It utterly disgusts me how selective western libtards are about whose minority rights are to be protected at all costs and whose can be completely ignored.

The boundaries were drawn fairly well, the problem was Moscow’s encouraging hand in getting Russian (and various other ethnicities) settlers to displace autochthonous Ukrainian ones. Donbas was to become the model province within the Soviet Union, where perfect communism was to flourish and its ideas exported to the outside world. Looks like they duped you!

The Donbas children bombed by Kiev between 2014-21 were from the separatist pro-Russian faction. It also happened first – and is still happening. Your concern for Kherson is touching, but when Kiev shelled it I don’t recall you cared.
It obviously has a military purpose – it weakens the enemy. Your Anglo brothers have explicitly killed civilians and destroyed infrastructure in all of their wars – burning and massacring natives around the world, Dresden, Iraq, Serbia…that’s how Anglos fight wars. You have no ground to stand on when the others do the same.
Advanced technology they may run short of, but Russia has lots (>100,000) of murderers still in prison. Wagner recruited 20,000 convicted of violent crime and so far only 5% have been KIA (or shot for failing to advance).
Ukraine no longer can easily keep the entire Russian army at fall stretch in Ukraine because of the shortening of the line by defeats and withdrawals since the summer. Only 400 miles of the current front line is non riverine. Russia has mobilised reservist filling out those 400 miles. meanwhile the bulk of the VDV held back along with a new army forming from the hundreds of thousands of reservist called up (these will require a refresher but they are not green).
Bakmut does not suite Ukraine because it operates best when doing hit and run, high tech targeting by artillery and mounting surprise offensives at a weak point in the Russian defences, while the Russian army is more about methodical application of mass effect artillery fires, such as is being done in Bakhmut, and profligate use of troops in ‘reconnaissance in force’, which is the Wagnerites are ideal for. Kherson is a white elephant and the Ukrainian army in Donbass is at the end of a long supply line that crosses vulnerable bridges.
Yes. Valeriy Zaluzhny has said he expects a major Russian offensive early next year, The rumour is he wanted to cut the losses and withdraw from Bakhmut but Zelensky refused for reasons of international prestige and domestic morale. I don’t think the Russians are unhappy with their snail’s pace in Bakhmut because it is a pseudo offensive economy of force operation. They are not seriously trying for a breakthrough there; at least that is my impression. If they throw their new army corps into a big push it will be elsewhere.
Shouldn’t they first be able to use all those resources to take Bakhmut? Or at least Soledar? Or the village of Pavlivka?
If they can’t break the Ukies at these locations after months of trying, I don’t see how they can dream of a successful re-invasion.

Catherine the Great founded Odessa, as well as many other cities of Novorossia, which she took from the Ottoman Empire. The history of that particular statue of Catherine the Great is very revealing. It was installed in 1900, more than 120 years ago. Ukies mankurts were not the first vandals to take it down. The first time is was taken down by Bolsheviks. It was restored to its rightful place in 2007. Now Ukies took it down, clearly demonstrating that they are more Sovoks than the worst among other Sovoks. As, the New Testament rightly said long time ago, “You Will Know Them by Their Fruits” (Matthew 7:15–20).
Catherine was a foreigner (German) who killed Russia’s native ruler and both spread and worsened serfdom of native Russians and Ukrainians. Her veneration by the descendants of her Russian slaves is in some ways comparable to their veneration of the Georgian Slav-killer by modern Russians whose minds have been polluted by Soviet teachers. An odd habit that Ukrainians do not share, to Russians’ dismay.

Sievierodonetsk was captured in June, Lisichansk was captured in July.
Apparently, the stalling of Russian progress after those successes was mainly due to 30,000 of the Russian contract solders in Ukraine coming to the end of their contracts in August not renewing, thereby denuding their front line, which Ukraine craftily attacked and broke the next month.
The Russians have built up their numbers to more that double what they originally had. The quality may not be high and the tactics bull headed but there are going to be a lot of troops available to Surovikin. There are indications that America is saying its inventory is falling too low, and this is an excuse because they do not want to supply the most potent missiles and have the Ukrainians use it to slaughter huge numbers of Russian soldiers in any big offensive by Surovikin.
In the other hand, Surovikin is slow to get his offensive started. It may be that after being misled originally by his military and intel advisors, Putin has demanded an assurance of success and low casualties before authorising such a large use of manpower. So perhaps both Surovikin and Biden are playing for time and do not want to initiate what will be extremly bloody fighting with an unpredictable outcome. My bet is Putin will give Surovikin all he asks for and eventually demand he strike a war ending body blow to Ukraine.
Just the limited and conditional supply of HIMARS allowed Ukraine to isolate the Russian grouping on the right bank and also played an important role in Ukraine's ability to counterattack on different fronts.
For some reason the Russians seem unable to do with the 17 bridges that cross the river Dnieper what the Ukrainians did to the Antonovsky bridge with their HIMARS. Forcing the Ukrainians to transfer all their troops and constant stream of western weapons to the fronts through pontoons and barges, like the Russians had to do in Kherson, would give them a great advantage. Apart from lacking the air supremacy necessary to bomb those bridges from the air, is there any other reason why the Russians are unable to take those bridges out?Replies: @Sean, @Wokechoke

Catherine was a foreigner (German) who killed Russia’s native ruler and both spread and worsened serfdom of native Russians and Ukrainians. Her veneration by the descendants of her Russian slaves is in some ways comparable to their veneration of the Georgian Slav-killer by modern Russians whose minds have been polluted by Soviet teachers. An odd habit that Ukrainians do not share, to Russians’ dismay.

Based on what we’ve seen so far, I don’t think Russia has the military or state capacity to inflict such as blow if the West continues to support Ukraine as it has until now. But over the months I have come around to your view that the US has the capacity to micromanage this war to an astounding level. I remember I objected to this idea the first time you formulated it on this blog. It didn’t seem possible to me that the US could dictate the outcome of a distant war where another superpower was involved just across its border but the facts speak for themselves.
Just the limited and conditional supply of HIMARS allowed Ukraine to isolate the Russian grouping on the right bank and also played an important role in Ukraine’s ability to counterattack on different fronts.
For some reason the Russians seem unable to do with the 17 bridges that cross the river Dnieper what the Ukrainians did to the Antonovsky bridge with their HIMARS. Forcing the Ukrainians to transfer all their troops and constant stream of western weapons to the fronts through pontoons and barges, like the Russians had to do in Kherson, would give them a great advantage. Apart from lacking the air supremacy necessary to bomb those bridges from the air, is there any other reason why the Russians are unable to take those bridges out?

By that logic we could say that the Ukie suffering today is caused by their stubborn resistance and desire for alliance with Nato. They could just give up and there would be no suffering. As you claimed the Donbas Russians could have given up.

Page 3:
“During the entire conflict period, from 14 April 2014 to 31 December 2021, OHCHR recorded a total of 3,106 conflict-related civilian deaths (1,852 men, 1,072 women, 102 boys, 50 girls, and 30 adults whose sex is unknown).”
And none in Kharkiv. Why?
Because Russia didn’t go across the international border and pour fighters and weapons into Kharkiv to create a war there. Fortunately Kiev, in a similar position to Assad or Putin, was far more humane.
Well, one of the excuses for the invasion of Ukraine was to stop those killings. But they had essentially stopped several years prior to the invasion. In 2021, 7 people were killed in active hostilities, not a single one was a child (UN report, see link above).
But Russia has killed plenty of children since starting this invasion.
https://thehill.com/policy/international/3791409-nearly-7000-civilians-have-now-been-killed-in-ukraine-war-un/
391 children have been killed since Russia invaded.
Mostly Russian-speaking children in eastern Ukraine.
Russia brought it upon them by starting a civil war, whose first commanders were Russians from Russia such as Girkin.
The liar Beckow pretends that there is no difference between laws within a country and the right of foreign countries to do what they want.
And you fail to do so. The most symmetric comparison to the Donbas rebellion would be Chechnya. Putin subdued Chechnya by killing 10,000s of Chechen civilians and Russia wasn’t invaded by anybody in response. The most symmetric comparison to the Russian annexation of Crimea and Donbas would be the German annexation of Sudetenland and Danzig. The most symmetric comparison of the invasion of Ukraine proper would be the German invasion of Poland and the Soviet invasion of Finland. You support all of those? Poland, after all, refused all requests by Germany to join Germany in an alliance and instead stayed with Germany’s enemies France and Britain.

They can do so at the current relatively low level of intensity, but were the Russians to with total commitment throw the entire force they are building up at Ukraine while striking s crucial power nodes (they now know which) and bridges across the Dnipro it would create a very dynamic situation.
I think America could and would help enough to defeat an all out attempt by Surovikin and Putin to knock Ukraine out of the war, but the help the US would need to provide in order to be sure of defeating such a Russian offensive would be an order of magnitude greater than anything Ukraine has been given before, and could not be as finely balanced as heretofore. It is my belief America thinks such assistance would remove their control over how bloodily bad a defeat was inflicted on Russia, and make conceivable the Kremlin becoming desperate. Washington wants Russia to be dissipated and discouraged over time. Not suddenly desperate.
Perhaps, the Scottish separatist movement is really a scam to encourage all the wokes in GB to move north, so they will be subjected to the harshest climate possible, when the fit hits the shan.

It’s not a “catastrophic error” when you realize that Xi and China’s ruling elite is implementing CBDCs and Digital IDs to subjugate their populations more absolutely like 99% of other ruling elites the world over.
Having said that, it’s true China’s going to need national unity for the upcoming war against the USA, presumably over Taiwan. So adjusting the economy, society and military preparations for that makes sense.
As for the “Wuhan origins of Covid”, honest truth is that Ron Unz is actually right when he states that it was an American biowarfare attack against China. Still, Unz doesn’t explain it properly and the proposition sounds insane on first appearance. It’s important to clarify that China hosted international military games in Wuhan in 2019 with the USA team not only appearing sick and unwell, but also performing very badly, which is obviously very strange for the country with one of, if not the most, powerful militaries in the world.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Military_World_Games
This is the context that makes it plausible and entirely possible that Covid was actually an American biowarfare attack against China.
Otherwise it’s true that there were dodgy laboratories in Wuhan and that the workers/virologists could’ve been careless with the experimental material inside it, aside from the dodgy ethics and amorality of deliberately experimenting with potentially lethal viruses. Regardless, there is no way “Covid” originated from the Wuhan wet market, it was either a laboratory leak or deliberately brought by the US military team to China and then spread the world over from there.
This is confusing two issues. The issue of vaccination as a dodgy and unreliable health mechanism, and the pretext of how “Covid” is used to literally enslave populations worldwide. As bad as the former is, it’s important to really keep focus on the latter.
Honestly, judging from what one can see from dissident scientists and virologists on Twitter and elsewhere on the internet, this is an understatement. Maybe it’s pointless to recite all the horror cases of the vaxxed young and seemingly healthy people dying from heart attacks, build-up of bile in the lungs, and etc. …
Vaccination is not some sort of sacred miracle of medicine, but just a mechanism that can be as dodgy as any other injection into the body, so most non-Covid vaccines are probably fine. Still counting my lucky stars I didn’t go for a “booster” like the vast majority of obedient losers.
Agree.
There is some merit that “Covid” was deliberately planned from the Jackson Hole meeting in 2019 partly with the purpose of blocking a 2nd term of Trump as president.
Still, to make more sense of all this, I recommend the book below:
States of Emergency: Keeping the Global Population in Check – by Kees van der Pijl.
Besides some tangents about Trump and Israel-Palestine (the author’s Twitter account is also disproportionately occupied with the latter issue), the book explains the core issue of how “Covid” is a political issue, not a health issue. The coolest thing about the book though is the fact that it cites multiple Unz Review articles as a source, particularly those of Ron Unz and Max Parry. What’s sad though is the author’s naive and misplaced optimism at the end of the book that effective resistance is actually possible, since no politician or other elite personality is willing to go up against this due to organizational issues, but also the inherent nature of power. The Canadian truckers (anyone still remember or care about them???) and their outcome is a case in point of this …

Mr. Unz proposition makes no sense. The WUHAN-19 virus was 100% guaranteed to go global once released. Thus knowing in advance it was a planetary impact event, Mr. Unz phrase “Attack on China” is the raving of a gibbering idiot. It simply cannot be.
I concur.
The term “leak” is not great. Most people think of that as a lab technology type accident.
It is more likely that a small group of low paid, non science staff at WIV (cleaning, security, building services, etc.) were stealing apparently healthy animals slated for destruction. Then, selling them at the Wuhan Wet Market.
The patient zero date has been refined and is believed to be late November or early December. This is not consistent with the Wuhan Military Games in October. They were over a month apart.
If WUHAN-19 was from Fort Detrick, there is no need for a convoluted conspiracy reaching deep into China. Deniability for the planet wide attack could be achieved by distribution in Heathrow Airport. Or, a false flag on U.S. air hubs.
The exceedingly poor response to the CCP’s virus has increased distrust in government and greatly delayed any such initiatives. Uncontrolled inflation places Elite privilege at risk.
Every nation is looking at the national security implications of global supply chains. WUHAN-19 will lead America and Europe to gradual decoupling from long lead time, unreliable Asian suppliers. This undermines the UN/CCP/NWO agenda.
Even Authoritarian Liberals can come up with better plans. WUHAN-19 was an act negligence by the CCP, not one of intent.

There is no emergency from 8 billion people as long as they:
• Stay where they are born
• Pay their own way
Sadly, the European Empire does not see migration as an emergency. However, Meloni is making some additional, interesting opening steps. (1)
The next step will likely be migrant routing based on vessel funding, in addition to the official flag.
Holding asylum claimants in detention (or better yet, “Stay in Africa” accommodations), rapid processing, and near 100% deportation of fails, would largely eliminate Italy as a destination for fraud.

A massive build out of nuclear power, such as LFTR, could generate fresh water via desalination and ramp up fertilizer production. Sub Saharan Africa would have to successfully industrialize.
There is no need for 8 billion people. However, the planet is not near a boundary condition for supporting those excessive numbers.

Denial of genetic influence on IQ, is once again an explicit denial of the West's inherent rights of self-determination.Replies: @Thulean Friend, @Matra
It’s disappointing, though not that surprising, how quickly they’ve gone back to “zombie sovietism” as you put it. For a while it looked like the Russians were moving beyond that but like in so many Western countries the boomer mentality still prevails. Putin had a chance but instead of inspiring Russian society he appears to have de-politicised it so now they’re falling back on what they know. Maybe that old lady waving the Soviet flag triggered the reversion to old narratives. That seemed to excite even some of the nationalist anti-communist Russians I follow on Twitter.
The other day the supposedly very influential Solovyev called Girkin/Strelkov “anti-semite scum”. Maybe he will need to be de-Nazified too.
Superficially, yes better. But we all know that if Russian military departs, Kiev will massacre and expel any Russians who stay. The West would ignore it and giggle ala our resident “Anglo-Saxon Goths in Crimea!!!” enthusiast, Philip Owen.
Kind of like most of the West – US, Canada, UK, EU – is to become a model globalist province with ethnics of all kinds living together in harmony. It is exactly the same idea, why are you so angry about Soviets and indifferent (or worse) about Phoenix becoming like Guatemala and Malmo like Eritrea? It is a glaring inconsistency in your views. Who is being duped here?
Once Russians live there – for 3 or more generations – it is crazy to go back and say that “they must leave or submit to Ukie power”. If you don’t see that I can’t help you – but crazy ideas like: go back to where your great-grandparents came from, backfire. Kiev will rue the day they started the madness in 2014.
A privilege and honour to be born into that great vision, success and inspiration of a country - I owe you nearly everything - and so does all the rest of the world which would be infinitely weaker without your existence!!!! Great workReplies: @AnonfromTN
A lot of good and bad things can be said about the USSR. I would like to point out just one huge error of Soviet leadership, the one that lasted for decades despite numerous changes at the top. Therefore, it cannot be dismissed as a short-term fluke.
In Soviet times Russia wasted huge resources, financial, industrial, and human, on the development of “brotherly” Soviet republics and “brotherly” socialist countries. As we clearly see now, not a single one of them was worth a penny spent on it. Yes, the RF has parasites now, thieving oligarchs, but its development in the last 20 years shows that they don’t suck as much lifeblood out of it as those “brotherly” parasites. Getting rid of all that lice was a good thing for Russia.
According to the UN, the total number of children killed was not 500 but 152:
https://ukraine.un.org/sites/default/files/2022-02/Conflict-related%20civilian%20casualties%20as%20of%2031%20December%202021%20%28rev%2027%20January%202022%29%20corr%20EN_0.pdf
Page 3:
"During the entire conflict period, from 14 April 2014 to 31 December 2021, OHCHR recorded a total of 3,106 conflict-related civilian deaths (1,852 men, 1,072 women, 102 boys, 50 girls, and 30 adults whose sex is unknown)."
And none in Kharkiv. Why?
Because Russia didn't go across the international border and pour fighters and weapons into Kharkiv to create a war there. Fortunately Kiev, in a similar position to Assad or Putin, was far more humane. Well, one of the excuses for the invasion of Ukraine was to stop those killings. But they had essentially stopped several years prior to the invasion. In 2021, 7 people were killed in active hostilities, not a single one was a child (UN report, see link above).
But Russia has killed plenty of children since starting this invasion.
https://thehill.com/policy/international/3791409-nearly-7000-civilians-have-now-been-killed-in-ukraine-war-un/
391 children have been killed since Russia invaded.
Mostly Russian-speaking children in eastern Ukraine. Russia brought it upon them by starting a civil war, whose first commanders were Russians from Russia such as Girkin. The liar Beckow pretends that there is no difference between laws within a country and the right of foreign countries to do what they want. And you fail to do so. The most symmetric comparison to the Donbas rebellion would be Chechnya. Putin subdued Chechnya by killing 10,000s of Chechen civilians and Russia wasn't invaded by anybody in response. The most symmetric comparison to the Russian annexation of Crimea and Donbas would be the German annexation of Sudetenland and Danzig. The most symmetric comparison of the invasion of Ukraine proper would be the German invasion of Poland and the Soviet invasion of Finland. You support all of those? Poland, after all, refused all requests by Germany to join Germany in an alliance and instead stayed with Germany's enemies France and Britain.Replies: @Beckow
Donbas republics say it is around 500, so we have a choice. Given that all numbers in this conflict are suspect and manipulated I don’t believe “UN” or Kiev any more than you believe Donbas or Moscow. The bottom line is that Kiev murdered a lot (thousands) f its own citizens for the crime of “being Russian” and asking for some very basic rights: schools, language, etc…
Your analogies are retarded, this is not 1938 or 1940. To project the murderous quality of Nazis, Poles, Bandera, etc… into this era is simply false. The only side that is starting to show signs of Nazi-fascist madness (“Ukies uber alles!!!) is the current government in Kiev – and they are doing it because they are losing the war, out of desperation.
Poland offered in 1935 an alliance to Germany to “attack Russia together”. They joined Germany in dismembering Czechoslovakia in 1938 (Munich). Too bad for the Poles that they were next since they are Slavs and live in an area that Germany had to have and settle. The sad Polish one-sided friendship with England-France has never helped Poland – I documented it many times, Poland was abandoned in 1939 by the West and under no circumstances were any English-Americans going to invade and liberate Poland. Russia had to do it. That is reality that you – and most Poles – simply can’t accept so you lie and lie – using your term. They will again pay a heavy prize for this idiocy.
Dead in Donbas war were casualties of a war that was created by Russia, not Ukraine. They were not murdered, and didn't die for "being Russian" (no Russians in Kharkiv or Kiev were killed, only the ones where there was a rebellion armed by and led by Russians). They had elementary schools but not secondary schools. Why? Based on the democratic election results. The Ukrainian people rejected biligualism for the country. If the Ukrainians wanted full biligualism they would have voted for parties that supported that. Instead, Ukrainian voters chose a softer version of the French or American model.
Now Russia is even more unpopular so we can expect the Russian-language elementary schools to be gone also. A natural consequence of the war. That was the last time someone in Europe behaved as Putin is behaving. Another lie. However Poland rebuffed Germany's offer of an alliance against the Soviets. This cost Poland dearly, but saved Russia which has never shown gratitude.
Your country is the one that chose to join Germany rather fight against it, and even paid with its own money to send its Jews to German death camps, after all. If Poland were like Slovakia the USSR would have lost. Millions of Poles died because Poland refused an alliance with Germany against the Soviets, but thanks to Poland's sense of honor (something you are incapable of understanding, only mocking) the USSR lived. This old lie of yours had already been debunked by reiner tor or German Reader (?) awhile ago. Czechoslovakia was betrayed by its Western allies and agreed to give up territory to Germany.
You have in the past lied about there being a Polish-German alliance against Czechoslovakia. There wasn't. Czechoslovakia was already getting dismembered through no fault of Poland, and so the Polish state through an agreement with the Czechoslovak government bloodlessly took in territory with a Polish population (the same area had been violently seized by Czechoslovakia 20 years earlier - in that action the Czechs actually had killed some Poles). I guess you would prefer it if Germany took those lands instead?
BTW your prediction on February 25:
https://www.unz.com/akarlin/open-thread-176/#comment-5196873
"Kharkov is burning. Looks like it will be over in 10 days."
February 23:
"To desert is very hard, until the actual fighting starts. Then you have chaos. How many of the tens of thousands would run away or foist a white flag (or even the Russian flag) when faced with annihilation? How many officers would choose to save themselves? If Russia declares a no-flight zone over Ukraine (they could), block access to the Black See (they could), that would leave only land borders…how many officers sitting on the front would make it? These people aren’t stupid. You want them to die to make a point, but enough of them may disagree."
"Have you considered the mental state of most Ukie soldiers? They are sitting exposed on the border and infinitely stronger enemy has moved towards them. If Russia unleashes their weapons they can annihilate 50% or more of the Ukrainian troops in 24 hours. Any Ukie shooting would destroy a few buildings, if lucky a few dozen soldiers-civilians.
The officers have been warned that they will be held accountable afterwards for ‘war crimes’ – the guys on both sides know each other and talk. The Western minders are gone, and even the die-hard Galicians are probably heading home to pack, just in case."

In Benoist’s book on Junger he quotes the great man as saying at first glance the Soviet Union and the United States are examples of the exact same thing (technology conquering little human beings.)
No, absolutely not! There is a Western enforced pecking order, Scot stays a Scot, as does an Englishman. A Ukie in Britain is expected to become a Brit, a Russian in Ukie-land a Ukrainian. But their betters are never seen the same way (Welsh are better? that’s actually kind of funny).
They have it all mapped out. It is an inbred form of stupidity – they are not capable of seeing others the same way. It is pointless to try to explain it to them – they will just repeat the same pecking order that they have internalized: Ukies are temporarily elevated, but in the long run they will go back to their assigned level.
Phoenix is far from becoming Guatemalan, or even Mexican, for that matter. Many Latinos are Okay with becoming homogenized with their white neighbors, and don’t even clamor for Spanish language rights. Everybody here loves Mexican cuisine, and a lot of people like me really enjoy latin inspired music. Afro-Cuban jazz is the best (the bomb)!
The Soviet period of Donbas history was just one big experiment in totalitarianism and russification. If you like that sort of thing, go for it (most people don’t). I’ve always been for Russian ethnics to have access to Russian language and culture courses, where they live in compact areas, as long as they’re also taught a good modicum of Ukrainian too.
Owen has some kind of Sheep-shagging chip on his shoulder.
Just the limited and conditional supply of HIMARS allowed Ukraine to isolate the Russian grouping on the right bank and also played an important role in Ukraine's ability to counterattack on different fronts.
For some reason the Russians seem unable to do with the 17 bridges that cross the river Dnieper what the Ukrainians did to the Antonovsky bridge with their HIMARS. Forcing the Ukrainians to transfer all their troops and constant stream of western weapons to the fronts through pontoons and barges, like the Russians had to do in Kherson, would give them a great advantage. Apart from lacking the air supremacy necessary to bomb those bridges from the air, is there any other reason why the Russians are unable to take those bridges out?Replies: @Sean, @Wokechoke
You tend to blow up a bridge after you intend not to use it. That’s ordinary military doctrine.
I don’t know exactly what Gen Armageddon has in mind. My preference would be a broad strike heading north between the dog leg on the Dneiper north of Melitopol all the way to Donetsk. Not West but North.
Surround Zaporizhzhia Sich and drop the bridges leading into the city and drive out all the folks living there.
Interesting suggestion was a move along the east bank of the Dnieper bypassing Kiev and Chernigov and seizing the crossings of the Dnieper in Cherkassy. Strangles supply lines whilst giving the option to strike south towards Odessa.
Based on my experience of living ~30 years in each of these countries, I’d say that there are more differences than similarities.
Anyway, the similarities I see. One, both are large countries, so that 10-hour drive does not even get you halfway across, whereas in many places (say, in Europe) it would get you across multiple borders. I believe this affects people’s worldview: the attitudes of residents of micro-states tend to be a lot more parochial. Two, both are multi-national, so that only a small fraction of the population in infected by primeval tribal nationalism. I view both of these as positive, beneficial for the development. The next two similarities are negative: a) every individual feels like a small insignificant (and therefore disposable) cog in a vast mechanism; b) some individuals (elites) get a lot more than they deserve.
The differences stem from the main one: the attitude.
In the USSR it was forced equality. Many things were free and thus available to everyone, particularly health care and education. Many other things were fairly cheap: housing (you did not own your apartment, but you used to spend only a small fraction of your income on it, including rent, water, heating in winter, and electricity), daycare for preschoolers, most foods, travel, books, public transportation, cinema and theaters, etc. Downside was that an intelligent, skilled, and hard-working person did not get much more than a lazy, dumb, and ignorant bum.
In the US it is the opposite, forced inequality. Most basic things, like housing, education, and healthcare, are ridiculously expensive, and therefore the accessibility and quality of what you get is determined by what you can afford. Fat cats own the government at all levels and are essentially encouraged to fleece the sheeple with impunity. What’s more, when fat cats make wrong bets, they are bailed out by the government with public money. When an ordinary person makes wrong bets, s/he is told that s/he has only her/himself to blame.
Both produce social failure but the Russian version now mostly looks like residual nostalgia for the Soviet Union with some (dominant ) practical commercial/nationalist aspects, while the US version looks like a full blown Jewish dictatorship.
The geo-political risk has to be 100% from the US Zio-Glob imperialists.
public transportation was relatively cheap, but also almost mandatory, but not a conscious choice as private personal cars were unaffordable luxury for roughly about 90% of population, for the rest it was affordable, but still luxury;
books, cinema and theaters all relatively cheap, but overall everything was with limited selection and pre-censored choices.
Well, that’s very generous of you :)…too bad you don’t set the official policy in Kiev – or in Brussels or Washington that are ok with anything Kiev does. We have to go with the official policy and not with what people who have no influence would do.
Is it really? The numbers suggest at most 1-2 generations. It is ok if you like tacos and cholitas dancing for you, but the language and culture will gradually change. You can hide behind “but totalitarian” verbiage all you want, the multi-cultural process is almost identical under in globalist West as it was under the Soviets. Even the arguments are almost identical.
You’re really clueless about the cultural patterns that are influencing societal norms within Phoenix. It appears that you didn’t really absorb much information during your 1 week drunken stupor visiting all of the local strip clubs. Sure the population of Hispanics is growing all of the time, but most of the Hispanics consider themselves to be of the white race, and therefore feel no real barriers to integrating into white society. I occasionally hang out with some local Hispanics. They’re very articulate people (who mostly communicate amongst themselves in English) who are money managers, orthopedic surgeons, accountants and business managers. Fun people to party with and be around. So tell me who do you hang out with outside of the local Slovak bumpkins? 🙂

The problem is that the West really is going through a phase of decadence that could turn it into something totally different from what it has been during the past centuries of unprecedented human progress and prosperity. Hardly a new phenomenon in the history of empires and civilizations but one that we should try to resist for our own good and that of our descendants.
Focusing on the WEF, Quanon, Covid tyrannies, Jewish cabals and all the rest is actually the best way to do nothing about the really important matters in front of our noses that don’t require any kind of conspiracy theories to explain.
It’s similar to the 2020 election fraud discussion. The real, uncontroversial election fraud happened in plain view through the extreme bias and censorship of the MSM and social media, aided by the DC Establishment. I personally didn’t need the Twitter Files to know that the intelligence agencies, particularly the FBI and probably some branches of Trump’s own administration, were in cahoots with the MSM and Silicon Valley to put an end to his presidency. The Russiagate comedy had already made that abundantly clear. But the Twitter Files dispel any doubt about this fraud, which is why the MSM is refusing to cover it. You cannot have fair elections when 90% of the information that reaches the public is distorted in favor of one of the candidates.
In this situation, focusing on the “Kraken”, the Venezuelan involvement, they guy on the internet that shows how the results of this or that district are impossible (after all those claims have gone though the judiciary, the state legislatures, the Supreme Court and several recounts to see how much they mattered if true) is a sure way to let the US continue sliding into a corrupt, Mexican-style dedazo electoral system.
Anyway, 2023 is already off with a horrid start as in Brazil they've apparently started issuing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) where people can only keep 80% of the value of the cash and credit/savings in their bank accounts they convert into CBDCs ... Apparently there's many cases where the government delays this process for 2 or 3 years ...
Perhaps the only thing that gives hope is that the script of the future is rarely ever 100% written in advance and that for everything, sooner or later, there is always a moment of truth. So far, from 2020 onwards many of the moments of truth in this decade have been unpleasant and painful ...Replies: @S

No. Neither for the most part were the skilled workmen. There were 4 000 Welsh, including families, in Hughesovka in 1917. By then the Ukrainians were skilled. Kruschaev, half Ukrainian, is an imperfect example. According to Welsh researchers, the Russians mostly went down the mines so mining villages are still said to have high concentrations of Russians. They often supported the Whites. The Ukrainians, Greeks, Germans went mostly to the steel mills and factories and the Jews to commercial businesses in the cities. They often supported the Reds.
Agree. They wanted to tie Greta into the story, and make it about the confrontation of celebs.

Both disturbing to consider that a powerful company gets so much of its revenue from welfare, and to think of the downstream costs of it – the subsidizing people developing diabetes and tooth rot, so that we can later pay for their treatment.

I know what I saw and it was not ‘white Hispanics’, mostly it was the Indios-mestizos, very short people with thick necks and misshapen heads. I am sure there are the ones you are promoting, but they are not the bulk of the Hispanics in the US Southwest. If you prefer to live in a dreamy world of tango and fajitas with the occasional Latin surgeon, well, enjoy it. In 1-2 generations, those regions will be barely distinguishable from Guatemala – there is also a small whitish upper class there.
My point was different: you complain about Russians ‘moving’ 100 years ago to what you consider Ukrainian lands – and wanting to keep their own Russian identity. But you are surrounded in the US Southwest with recent massive Hispanic arrivals – and you celebrate it. You are inconsistent. What is it? lack of clear thinking, or you hate anything “Russian” so much that consistency be damned?
There are two guys of Mexican descent that work in my office, one is over 6' tall and the other is over 6'2" tall. Most Mexican transplants that I run into are 5'10" and up, many from Sonora. Going to a Mexican sports bar in my neighborhood, I've seen some really large Mexicans - you must have missed that one on your trip here.

More nonsense exposing that you really don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ll attribute this to your ignorance and not to your suposed propensity to lie, as some here have continuously mentioned. If you really knew what you’re talking about, you’d know that Arizona, including Phoenix, has a large amount of Mexicans from the northern bordering areas of Sonora and Chihuahua, that include the tallest subset of Mexicans in their native country. Genes and a good diet account for this differential (what else?):
https://www.mexicanist.com/l/the-height-of-mexicans/
There are two guys of Mexican descent that work in my office, one is over 6′ tall and the other is over 6’2″ tall. Most Mexican transplants that I run into are 5’10” and up, many from Sonora. Going to a Mexican sports bar in my neighborhood, I’ve seen some really large Mexicans – you must have missed that one on your trip here. The thinly clad Mexican servers were on the tallish side too. 🙂
Are you sure that you’re not coming up with this composite picture of Mexicans after you’ve been looking at your Russian “freedom fighters” getting their due within Ukraine?

I should have probably written “nose candy” a euphemism for cocaine. Although I see that today, kids are actually crushing candies of a sort and then snorting the stuff. Also, I should have used a term that has a broader meaning, to include all manner of drugs that folks are using these days. I had in mind Biden’s son, who often would smoke crack cocaine. I’m not aware of Trump or any of his kids using drugs, although I wouldn’t be shocked to find out that such instances did occur. Some of the wider Kennedy clan (the closest that America has to a royal family) have been known to use and abuse various drugs. I supposedly saw one such individual myself, writhing from what looked like withdrawl symptoms in Harvard square, a long time ago.

When I read Wilhelm Reich’s fascism book it was never clear to me whether his diagnosis of the entire country being psychotic applied more to the Weimar sex maniacs or more to the National Socialists. It is super bizarre. There is no way to do an experiment but the one definitely came after the other and if you wonder what is going to be next after allowing pervert grooming into the elementary schools the closest historical precedent is a little bit unnerving to say the least.
It's really weird because the professed reason for being of the regime seems to be something like "to prevent the rise of new Nazis", but, at the same time, they seem intent on creating something even more decadent than Weimar.

There was some German writer who lived through it, when he was a boy, and he said something like “the inflation in money caused an inflation in love”, which I think is actually true (though I am sure it doesn’t explain the whole thing.) But, maybe, that also explains part of what we are seeing today. (And I think we will just see inflation increase, as governments try to paper over the growing differences.)

I mostly think that at least in our current case the sexual decadence is pushed intentionally as a way to keep people sated and distracted as society gets worse, rather than as an entirely organic effect.
If Donald Trump doesn’t have a cache of adderall, ritalin, modafinil, viagra I would be surprised. As long as you have a prescription it doesn’t really count I suppose. When last heard from Ozzy Osbourne reported he is higher than ever but it’s all with doctor’s authorization.
The word is there is an experimental drug for Biden which makes him temporarily half lucid that he gets for press appearances, speeches, &c. My guess is it’s just a mix of good old modafinil++. Scott Alexander reports that two thirds of the Silicon Valley programming staff is on modafinil. The comments in those threads are the best part.
Semaglutide is the new one. A pill to lose weight that works better than amphetamines. Yudkowski reported in the comments it did not work for him. If your mom raised you on M&M’s there may not be anything to fix it. Gwern also has straight dope on drugs.

Wow, can common sense actually prevail?
The insertion of rainbow lights at many cities’ New Years celebrations has me excited that, in the distant future, holidays might have super-based optics, instead of the plastic-fantastic that many have now.
I think some people knew about it at the time, there was that French socialist deputy lady who made the famous quote about the left being the midwife of Fascism in the late 20s, after Mussolini but before the Fuhrer.
She was executed by the Germans during the occupation iirc.
For the U.S., that is a clear NO! Deploying regular military units would require Congressional pre-approval, such as an Authorization for Use of Military Force [AUMF]. Without an unobtainable Declaration of War or AUMF, Not-The-President Biden is limited to irregular means (e.g. mercenaries) or relatively small numbers away from the front (e.g. trainers, intelligence). American personnel are already functionally maxed out.
Without American involvement, I would be surprised if anyone else jumps in with large numbers of regular military units. The Baltics cannot take the risk. Poland, Italy, and
TurkeyTürkiye have more pressing domestic issues. France, Germany, and the UK actually want Ukraine to lose, thus maximizing permanent migration.The most that Kiev regime can hope for is more supplies, but that will eventually run out when a new zeitgeist fad arrives.

By itself this decision is minor. However, if France can pull back from migration suicide, Europe as a whole gains. When can Macron be replaced?

Wow, can common sense actually prevail?
NATO is a Defensive pact. It is inherently impossible to have a NATO Offensive in Ukraine. Therefore, the question becomes, “Will any member void their defense claims under the NATO treaty to attack Russian troops?”

Danish military intelligence public prediction, posting it here for the near future reference, will be interesting to see how accurate it is:

I think that there may yet be a nuke in use when Ukraine is close to taking Crimea. Putin's loss of face will be extreme. If not, then this phase of the war may end with Ukraine holding Taurida and Russia the Donbas with both sides demanding demilitarized zones. That will be a ceasefire not a peace.
IMO, they are targeting James Webb’s legacy purely for his marine corps officer physiognomy.
It may not stop them trying. But not through the Pripet Marshes. The soldiers may be better prepared this time. In particular, the training in Belarus seems to be focussing on radio communiction between battlegroups. That won’t cure poor junior leadership. Numbers will make logistics issues worse. The artillery is in the Donbas. Moving it will be tricky. It may be a T64 attack (in their day, very good tanks).

It's really weird because the professed reason for being of the regime seems to be something like "to prevent the rise of new Nazis", but, at the same time, they seem intent on creating something even more decadent than Weimar.
But it's pretty evident that they aren't thinking logically and have weird motivations. I mean just look at France. One week, Moroccans are rioting. The next Kurds are literally tearing up the pavement (not good optics), and still they seem to be promoting open borders. No moderation, at all, in the face of compelling evidence that open borders was a mistakeReplies: @Barbarossa
I suppose that systemic levels of financial instability could led to more decadence as people see less reason to invest seriously in society. This would mostly be a short term effect though, as eventually people are forced to band together more cohesively to survive.
I mostly think that at least in our current case the sexual decadence is pushed intentionally as a way to keep people sated and distracted as society gets worse, rather than as an entirely organic effect.
I’ve been keeping up with dabbling with the Wim Hof techniques although cold acclimation is a bust for now since it’s warmed up to the 40’s and low 50’s. Working outside all day in a tee shirt in 45 degree weather isn’t exactly roughing it!
I did try the cold shower bit, turning it to fully cold for the last couple of minutes. The first ten seconds suck but then it’s actually enjoyable and I feel very refreshed and clear headed.
The breathing technique seems fairly impressive so far. If my heart rate is down a bit I’ve been able to hold my breath for up to 3:54 and between 3:00 to 3:30 with normal active heart rate. Also, my breath holding without doing any breathing exercises beforehand has gone from around 0:50 to around 1:20. This seems like a very impressive increase in just a couple of days. Also, mood and energy are increased after doing the breathing/ breath hold. It’s been a notably better way to start out in the morning. On Friday I was feeling quite beat from a particularly strenuous day of work and when I got home I did a round of breathing/ breath hold and felt very awake and energized.
Overall it’s been very impressive to me and a very practical addition to my day. I’ll be interested to see how it pans out over the longer term.

Regrettably, I think that Ireland’s power structures have changed too radically from medieval times, when the power was in land, so, with the divided terrain, there was always opposition. The vast well of power and population is in Dublin and it is under the near total control of globalists, in a more complete way than the Pale was ever n control by the English. They always had to maintain defenses and, at times, it was very tense and even dangerous for them – not so for the globalists.

Buddhism was a religion of white supremacy in origin. Julius Evola has all this covered.
Later ones were, but not sequenced (1900 years or so). Tattoos and strong Scythian influences. Tocharian from surviving manuscripts is clearly a PIE language. Cherchen man (1000 BC) was probably PIE.
Fair chance that the earliest mummies also had light hair and skin based on looks. Blond hair is thought to come from ANE, anyway. (Earliest Tarim were 80% ANE) No population like that today, so, IMO, direct SNP prediction probably not super useful. Udmurts have a lot of ANE and red hair. Some East Asians are quite pale despite lacking Euro SNPs. Ainu (also high ANE) had pretty pale skin.
Chedder Man reconstruction was absolute BS. Look at Ashkenazim - some are darkish, some quite pale, even though they were in Northern Europe <1000 years. Probably picked up the pale variants from Euros, and they were selected for. Similar thing would have happened much earlier, to the natives in those latitudes. Would have picked them from archaic hominins, like Neanderthals. It is just they were different variants.Replies: @Sher Singh

Liar was caught as usual so now the excuse is that no number is real so there are no lies.
You managed two lies in one phrase.
Dead in Donbas war were casualties of a war that was created by Russia, not Ukraine. They were not murdered, and didn’t die for “being Russian” (no Russians in Kharkiv or Kiev were killed, only the ones where there was a rebellion armed by and led by Russians).
They had elementary schools but not secondary schools. Why? Based on the democratic election results. The Ukrainian people rejected biligualism for the country. If the Ukrainians wanted full biligualism they would have voted for parties that supported that. Instead, Ukrainian voters chose a softer version of the French or American model.
Now Russia is even more unpopular so we can expect the Russian-language elementary schools to be gone also. A natural consequence of the war.
That was the last time someone in Europe behaved as Putin is behaving.
Another lie. However Poland rebuffed Germany’s offer of an alliance against the Soviets. This cost Poland dearly, but saved Russia which has never shown gratitude.
Your country is the one that chose to join Germany rather fight against it, and even paid with its own money to send its Jews to German death camps, after all. If Poland were like Slovakia the USSR would have lost. Millions of Poles died because Poland refused an alliance with Germany against the Soviets, but thanks to Poland’s sense of honor (something you are incapable of understanding, only mocking) the USSR lived.
This old lie of yours had already been debunked by reiner tor or German Reader (?) awhile ago. Czechoslovakia was betrayed by its Western allies and agreed to give up territory to Germany.
You have in the past lied about there being a Polish-German alliance against Czechoslovakia. There wasn’t. Czechoslovakia was already getting dismembered through no fault of Poland, and so the Polish state through an agreement with the Czechoslovak government bloodlessly took in territory with a Polish population (the same area had been violently seized by Czechoslovakia 20 years earlier – in that action the Czechs actually had killed some Poles). I guess you would prefer it if Germany took those lands instead?

“Have you considered the mental state of most Ukie soldiers? They are sitting exposed on the border and infinitely stronger enemy has moved towards them.

They were not murdered, and didn't die for "being Russian" (no Russians in Kharkiv or Kiev were killed, only the ones where there was a rebellion armed by and led by Russians). They had elementary schools but not secondary schools. Why? Based on the democratic election results. The Ukrainian people rejected biligualism for the country. If the Ukrainians wanted full biligualism they would have voted for parties that supported that. Instead, Ukrainian voters chose a softer version of the French or American model.
Now Russia is even more unpopular so we can expect the Russian-language elementary schools to be gone also. A natural consequence of the war. That was the last time someone in Europe behaved as Putin is behaving. Another lie. However Poland rebuffed Germany's offer of an alliance against the Soviets. This cost Poland dearly, but saved Russia which has never shown gratitude.
Your country is the one that chose to join Germany rather fight against it, and even paid with its own money to send its Jews to German death camps, after all. If Poland were like Slovakia the USSR would have lost. Millions of Poles died because Poland refused an alliance with Germany against the Soviets, but thanks to Poland's sense of honor (something you are incapable of understanding, only mocking) the USSR lived. This old lie of yours had already been debunked by reiner tor or German Reader (?) awhile ago. Czechoslovakia was betrayed by its Western allies and agreed to give up territory to Germany.
You have in the past lied about there being a Polish-German alliance against Czechoslovakia. There wasn't. Czechoslovakia was already getting dismembered through no fault of Poland, and so the Polish state through an agreement with the Czechoslovak government bloodlessly took in territory with a Polish population (the same area had been violently seized by Czechoslovakia 20 years earlier - in that action the Czechs actually had killed some Poles). I guess you would prefer it if Germany took those lands instead?

"Have you considered the mental state of most Ukie soldiers? They are sitting exposed on the border and infinitely stronger enemy has moved towards them. If Russia unleashes their weapons they can annihilate 50% or more of the Ukrainian troops in 24 hours. Any Ukie shooting would destroy a few buildings, if lucky a few dozen soldiers-civilians.
The officers have been warned that they will be held accountable afterwards for ‘war crimes’ – the guys on both sides know each other and talk. The Western minders are gone, and even the die-hard Galicians are probably heading home to pack, just in case."

Later ones were, but not sequenced (1900 years or so). Tattoos and strong Scythian influences. Tocharian from surviving manuscripts is clearly a PIE language. Cherchen man (1000 BC) was probably PIE.
Fair chance that the earliest mummies also had light hair and skin based on looks. Blond hair is thought to come from ANE, anyway. (Earliest Tarim were 80% ANE) No population like that today, so, IMO, direct SNP prediction probably not super useful. Udmurts have a lot of ANE and red hair. Some East Asians are quite pale despite lacking Euro SNPs. Ainu (also high ANE) had pretty pale skin.
Chedder Man reconstruction was absolute BS. Look at Ashkenazim - some are darkish, some quite pale, even though they were in Northern Europe <1000 years. Probably picked up the pale variants from Euros, and they were selected for. Similar thing would have happened much earlier, to the natives in those latitudes.

No way they could successfully take Kiev with a 50,000 ground force without noticeable problems. That was done to put some pressure, that arguably resulted in the Istanbul talks, which initially were going well (until BoJo interrupted) and was used as a basis for the Russian pullout from north central Ukraine.
I don't rule out the wishful thinking among some pro-Russian circles who thought the 50K would be enough. I wasn't among such folks.
Kharkov and Kherson City are classic strategic withdrawals, as evident by the large casualties the Kiev regime took to get them. Russia's clear goal is attrition, involving the gradual, but noticeable destruction of Kiev regime/NATO military assets.

I’m inclined to agree with your diagnosis (let’s not even go into the whole travesty you rightly highlight about what was done to Trump by the Mainstream Media), but you’re not offering any solutions.
Anyway, 2023 is already off with a horrid start as in Brazil they’ve apparently started issuing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) where people can only keep 80% of the value of the cash and credit/savings in their bank accounts they convert into CBDCs … Apparently there’s many cases where the government delays this process for 2 or 3 years …
Perhaps the only thing that gives hope is that the script of the future is rarely ever 100% written in advance and that for everything, sooner or later, there is always a moment of truth. So far, from 2020 onwards many of the moments of truth in this decade have been unpleasant and painful …
Though, as a caveat, I have to say I don't think the Fall of Communism circa 1990 was a naturally occurring event, but rather was top/down in nature, the same as I don't think the imminent Fall of Capitalism (ie the economic and political collapse of the United States and it's Western bloc) will have been naturally occurring either, and will also have been a top/down event.
In each instance, the looting of the remnants of the respective collapsed economic systems will have taken place immediately afterwards. 'The worker is worthy of his wages' those that are behind these events tell themselves.
The synthesis of a Capitalist thesis and a Communist anti-thesis in the Global Multi-Culturalism of the expectant United States of the World/World Union super-state, a theoretical global democratic republic, but, alas, should they succeed, in reality a slavery based world order dictatorship, is to have been the British Empire's unilateral 'gift' to the world, a gift I would rather it never would have made.
The fact that both the Communist Manifesto and the defacto 'Capitalist Manifesto', Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, were each first published in London in 1848 and 1776 respectively, should have been a hint.
Even if any assumptions about the US military’s competence are put aside, it seems naive to presume that the USA has no malevolent or hostile motives towards China. This isn’t to uncritically support China’s narrative, but the motivation to sabotage China’s economy/economic growth with a “Covid virus” in order to suppress or “deter” a rapidly rising massive great power rival that threatens to overthrow USA world hegemony couldn’t be more obvious. Especially when the preparations for war over Taiwan between the USA and China couldn’t be clearer. For further consideration are also USA measures like sanctions on Chinese semiconductors, Huawei-5G bans, Tik-Tok bans, and so on which also has the obvious motive of attempting to derail Chinese economic growth and international technology sharing/proliferation.
The motive couldn’t seem to be more obvious (beyond imposing the Covid regime for domestic masses and derailing a 2nd Trump Presidency along with the tide of “populists”/nativists in the West, or just a general “disciplining” of the masses by the government of post-modern managerial bureaucratic ruling elites the world over).

There were considerably more than 50,000 Russian troops involved in the attack on Kyiv, including up to 400 excellently trained Russian paratroopers. Looking back now, it becomes possible to lie and say that the operation’s main goal was to act as a decoy for operations going on in Eastern Ukraine, but at the time, it was an excellent military idea that if it had worked, it would have forced the whole Ukrainian war to go into a decidedly different direction of doom for all of Ukraine. Looking back now, I would say that the battle for Kyiv was the beginning of Russia’s disaterous war in Ukraine, “a day late and a dollar short”. Russia keeps on losing positions and battles that quite frankly do not add up to a Russian victory in the long term. Kherson and Kharkiv are more examples of complete Russian disasters that point to Russia’s downward spiral. As for the Battle of Kyiv, I think that this pretty much sums it all up:

If true (and doubtful) how considerably more than 50,000? 70,000 still not enough. How well verified the “400 elite paratroopers”? Did that number actually parachute in the city? Where if at all did they parachute? These questions hit home on myths like the Ghost of Kiev.
Kiev encompasses a good deal of land and a population well over a million, even with the great exodus of those that left (mostly women and children). In addition, the Galician inspired extremism of Bandera has increased there over the decades. Given this reality in conjunction with the violently censoring manner of Kiev regime controlled Ukraine, pro-Russian sentiment in Kiev has to be understandably careful.
It’s a fact that before the Istanbul talks were ended by the Kiev regime with BoJo prodding, the Russians were looking favorably at those talks. Their stated goodwill gesture to withdraw from north central Ukraine isn’t without some merit. As I previously mentioned:
So, why didn’t the Russian incursion into the Kyiv area result in Ukrainian support? And if it didn’t, shouldn’t the Russian side have known of this ahead of time? Bad logistics, bad reconnaissance, or have you already forgotten about how many FSB personnel were sacked right after the disastrous Kyivan assault?
As for support and purging, it's the Kiev regime side that has done so out of concern to the opposition it faces. As one of numerous examples, Zelensky fired one of his appointed individuals, who was advocating greater dialogue and understanding. Never mind the well footage on how suspected pro-Russian advocates are treated.

Not to mention its humiliating retreat from Kherson, unable to maintain its hold on a very important oblast center. How long were they in Kherson? Not enough time to dig in their unwelcome presence.

Russia would've likely won a battle over Kherson. They chose not to on account that such a situation would be with noticeable Russian casualties. Hence, the strategic withdrawal, which saw Kiev regime forces take large casualties to take that city, with Russian forces untouched.
Once again, attrition seeks to dismantle the opponent as the opposing side (in this case with the already superior man and material numbers) continues to build itself up.
As for unwelcome, we see how Kiev regime forces and their supporters are looking for collaborators - a clear sign that Kiev regime forces aren't so welcome as some present.

They were obviously expecting to take Kiev without much of a fight. Based on the false assumption that most Ukrainians wouldn’t defend their county and the elites would all flee, 50,000 troops, with elite paratroopers spearheading the assault, outside Kiev would be a sufficient number for such a limited operation. They had a lot of riot police and mobile detention units to take care of isolated troublemakers.
Instead the people fought back fiercely, the paratroopers were wasted and killed in large numbers, the Russians withdrew from Kiev after realising that their plan could not work, and some of the most naive and/or stupid of the pro-Russians claim that the whole thing was a deliberate feint all along.

The Russian military only stopped bombing Kharkiv after they were pushed back to the Russian border by Ukrainian forces. It was only after their equipment was out of range that they stopped their bombing attacks upon civilian enclaves including the local university, not out of any respect or sympathy for the local population.

Can't decide whether it is pure affectation, or whether it would be politically dangerous for a politician to have a glass eye (and thus have a blindspot where other people might think he was ignoring them.)
IIRC, they tried to do it in all the northern bordercities like Chernigov/Kharkov last February/March but then lost like 5 or 6 downed bombers/fighters with pilots dead/captured in roughly one week and stopped, because such type/rates of aviation losses are irreplacable/unsustainable for RF military aviation.
I think more brutal, conventional strikes with missiles --> cluster bombs--> standard bombs would be a much different story. I hope the Ukrainians wise up before it comes to that. Or maybe the Russian plan simply does not require widespread heavy bombing.
You of course don’t mention Mariupol.
Russia would’ve likely won a battle over Kherson. They chose not to on account that such a situation would be with noticeable Russian casualties. Hence, the strategic withdrawal, which saw Kiev regime forces take large casualties to take that city, with Russian forces untouched.
Once again, attrition seeks to dismantle the opponent as the opposing side (in this case with the already superior man and material numbers) continues to build itself up.
As for unwelcome, we see how Kiev regime forces and their supporters are looking for collaborators – a clear sign that Kiev regime forces aren’t so welcome as some present.

No, Germany invaded Poland and murdered millions of Poles because Poland refused to surrender to Germany without a fight as the Czechs did and refused to join the Germans on an anti-Soviet crusade as the Slovaks did.Replies: @Beckow
You are really desperate, “hyena” is hyena, no matter how you try to spin it. And Poland had no standing after joining Hitler in dismembering Czechoslovakia – nobody wanted to fight for them – that’s why they got horribly massacred by Germans, they were left with no allies.
It is the same today: the people who bombed Serbia, Iraq, Libya, Syria, or who quietly supported it, have no standing to complain about Russia in Ukraine. It is a very simple principle that has held since time immemorial – a thief can’t yell “thief! catch him“. That’s the problem: mass murderers and habitual bombers complain about others.
It is like that scene in Casablanca when the Frenchie Captain orders closing the joint because “there is gambling going on there”, as he collects and counts his winnings from the last round. There is no such thing as having double standards – the West has no standards, (and also Poland in 1938-39). So all their bleating is for nought…
Poland did not coordinate with Hitler or ally with Hitler. Czechoslovakia decided to cede a lot of land to Hitler, so Poland then made its own agreement to take back Polish-inhabited lands. First you claimed that Poland's Western allies refused to fight for Poland because they naturally viewed Easterners with contempt. Now you claim it was because Poland took some lands from Czechoslovakia.

Yes, is known the Russians have carried out limited air strikes with high losses. In my view this is partially a result of Ukrainians using civilians as shields for high value targets combined with Russia’s desire to minimize collateral damage.

Your grammar seems correct here, but your thought process harkens back to a day when “Averkoisms” were the norm. Reread what you wrote here. What you’re really saying is that the Russian military would have kept hold of Kherson, except that they weren’t willing to stomach dying for the place. They were cowards and lost Kherson. The Ukrainians were willing to sacrifice their own, and ended up taking Kherson back. That’s how it generally works. Kherson was an excellent stronghold to keep if Russia had any real notions to take Odessa, which was one of the main goals early on in the war. Now that opportunity has been lost, as Russia retreats back more and more every day.
Mariupol could very well be taken back too.
The longer this conflict goes, the greater the likelihood of the Kiev regime losing more territory - Odessa included.

The US/UK with it’s impending WWIII has been point by point religiously recreating the lead up to WWII.
The latest installment was Zelensky’s speech before the US Congress which mimics Churchill’s December, 1941 speech in front of the same body. Of course it was that same month in 1941 which also saw Pearl Harbor occur, thus giving the United States it’s desired ‘back door’ to war with Germany.
Taiwan (or elsewhere in the Western Pacific) could well be where a desired new ‘Pearl Harbor’ like event occurs between the United States and China, thus allowing a backdoor for a desired war between the US and Russia.
Even the effectively blacklisted New Rome* book published in 1853 seems to hint at this prospect:
‘Russia has expended all her forces in making a formidable display on her Western border. The United States are already digging the trenches for an attack in the rear.’

I agree, the best laid plans of mice and men and all that.
Though, as a caveat, I have to say I don’t think the Fall of Communism circa 1990 was a naturally occurring event, but rather was top/down in nature, the same as I don’t think the imminent Fall of Capitalism (ie the economic and political collapse of the United States and it’s Western bloc) will have been naturally occurring either, and will also have been a top/down event.
In each instance, the looting of the remnants of the respective collapsed economic systems will have taken place immediately afterwards. ‘The worker is worthy of his wages’ those that are behind these events tell themselves.
The synthesis of a Capitalist thesis and a Communist anti-thesis in the Global Multi-Culturalism of the expectant United States of the World/World Union super-state, a theoretical global democratic republic, but, alas, should they succeed, in reality a slavery based world order dictatorship, is to have been the British Empire’s unilateral ‘gift’ to the world, a gift I would rather it never would have made.
The fact that both the Communist Manifesto and the defacto ‘Capitalist Manifesto’, Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations, were each first published in London in 1848 and 1776 respectively, should have been a hint.
Fair enough. For some reason I didn’t have Unz himself in mind when I wrote that. I do read some of his stuff and it has a good comment section as well.
Of course, the Ukrainians would fight back – we spoke about this right before the invasion. I remember telling Beckow that the Ukrainians will “shoot from every window” and he doubted it (it was meant both literally, as well as to describe their spirit – honestly, I don’t get some of these people, would they not defend their homes and families, I don’t get what is so hard to understand and why that could even be doubted). When he mused about “who gets to keep Kyiv”, I said that Ukraine would keep it (I knew it intuitively).
It’s apparently impossible to take Kyiv without hundreds of thousands of troops, it’s just too big (and some of the Cold War era fortifications are still in place). However, they may have been able to force the government out and murder even more people (they had such plans, even lists of people who should be arrested or killed – they always do). Western help was not a given during those very crucial first days (except for Javelins and such which proved to be quite useful). And the Russians did cause horrific damage.
To claim that the whole thing was a “deliberate feint” is utter nonsense and can’t be taken seriously. However, those who claim that are most likely not all that naive / or stupid – this may be an attempt to downplay the gravity of this very malicious intent (part of the overall crime of aggression), to excuse Russia’s failure and possibly to downplay the heroism (or competence) of the defenders.
Even if it was “only” 50K RF soldiers, it was still a very serious attack – with many casualties on both sides, with heavy artillery being used (including at civilian objects). There were paratroopers and apparently special forces soldiers (to lose those for a “feint” would be so dumb, they take years to train). There is iconic footage of shattered and burnt Russian tanks in the street on the outskirts of Kyiv – that alone was very costly for the invader, why would they waste that on a feint? The clunky tank and military vehicle column ran out of gas and food after a few days – this is not what they intended, since they thought they would be in control of the city within days.
No, they were going to advance but were stopped through immense effort. This is a very heroic feat with great historic consequences. Because of this effort, a coalition of 40 states came together to help Ukraine and possibly a new security landscape will be formed in Europe.
There are a couple of documentaries out there already, too bad this one doesn’t have English subtitles but one can see the Russian helicopters flying in and also the severe damage that was done to some of Kyiv’s suburbs (one can see that the suburbs were quite wealthy with new townhomes that were completely wrecked or damaged, not to even mention the human toll). Thank God they didn’t hit the treasures, the cathedral, that’s of great value to the whole world.
(Btw, the Russians hit the 6th – 10th century stone babas near Izyum and damaged them, which is insane).
Beyond issues of natalism, there is the question of whether there is some threshold of cat ladies that will implode society:
Or, maybe, we’ve already reached it, but it is a slow process?
You repeat the lie that Poland “joined Hitler.”
Poland did not coordinate with Hitler or ally with Hitler. Czechoslovakia decided to cede a lot of land to Hitler, so Poland then made its own agreement to take back Polish-inhabited lands.
First you claimed that Poland’s Western allies refused to fight for Poland because they naturally viewed Easterners with contempt. Now you claim it was because Poland took some lands from Czechoslovakia.

Speaking of curating commenters, I see there’s a new ID basing his identity off anti-vax in 2023… sad!
Just to be clear, the title of "anti-vax" is highly misleading as it can mean a lot of different things. It's one thing to be opposed to Covid vaccines or have serious doubts about its makeup, compared to being opposed to other types of vaccines, say like most reasonable people don't have a problem with the pre-WW2 vaccines that were invented against Polio in the USA and proven (IIRC Polio or some other disease that could be cured by vaccination was seemingly eliminated worldwide until it reappeared in India somehow). In fact, there are even at least a few different types of Covid vaccines that all seem to be made differently from each other. Idk about the Chinese and Russian ones, but the evidence for Western vaccines having adverse health effects very much exists. Anyway, it seems like the WHO is going to impose a mandatory vaccine passport for international travel worldwide by around May 2023 (with the connivance of nearly all ruling elites in the world), so anyone that wants to not have restricted freedom of movement can have fun conforming to at least one more round of vaccination. In fact, the whole post-human techno-scientific cult around vaccines (and material science more generally) is entirely bizarre and it's amazing that elite power execution works so well that most people simply accept vaccination measures even though they have no idea of vaccine compositions or what sort of side effects there are. It's hard to imagine people would accept drinking tablets, or even potions on a large scale as a reliable medical method (then again, people used to believe in leeching and all sorts of things, the conformity and mediocrity of normies to the mainstream of their times shouldn't be underestimated).
Anyway, the real point of "Covid" is what's coming in 2023 and beyond. So the imposition of Central Bank Digital Currencies, Digital IDs and "social credit scores" where the pretense of any independence, anonymity, privacy, and "freedom" is openly abolished by managerial-beauracracy dictates in the most basic aspects of peoples' lives concerning their wealth, health, relationships with others, lifestyle, personal beliefs, and so on. I haven't even looked in depth at the horror of likely incoming AI Smart Cities so I'll refrain from commenting on that. Probably only places like Ukraine, Yemen, and Afghanistan that are wrecked and don't have proper electricity infrastructure for whatever reason will be spared from this, at least for the immediate future.
There's also of course incoming economic/financial crisis from the USA to the outer world with inflation already in real terms being at least 20% in western countries, with austerity being inevitable. Isn't this what's really sad!?Replies: @Another Polish Perspective, @Another Polish Perspective

“The Russian Ka-52 helicopters were widely used during the 2022 invasion to Ukraine. During the first 8 months of war there were 23 verified losses of Ka-52s. Unit price of the Ka-52 is around $16 million.”
During the Defense of Kyiv about 40 Russian helicopters flew in, at least some of these were taken down by Ukrainians using an old Ukrainian weapon called “Igla” (“Needle”), a man-portable surface-to-air missile, worth around $60-80K. Apparently the Russians didn’t think this would happen since these helicopters are thought to be very agile.

Was it Gobineau who really got this going with the Essay on Human Racial Inequality? He is often reputed as one of the founders of Aryanism. He was a kind of doomer though, he thought the last remaining reservoirs of relatively pure and unmixed white blood were fated to disappear through race mixing, leaving overwhelming mediocrity before humanity finally dies out. It was pretty French.
These sorts of ideas seem to have become most popular and elaborate in the German cultural sphere where they eliminated the inevitable racial doom aspect of Gobineau’s narrative.

Your abilities have descended to a Kindergarden level infantile incoherence. Polka? How do you think not making any rational points and simply attacking others comes across? We dismiss you as a silly crank. This is Unz, not a cholita negro dance party.

I suspect that China and India might have a scalar advantage when it comes to chauvinism. The chauvinism of Euros often detracts from the chauvinism other Euros because of the short distances between borders. (Maybe, this was less when there were empires?)
Then, on top of that, there is an obvious ideology to beat Europe down. Interesting to ponder its origin. Yuval Noah Harari (not a Euro) amusingly called Europe a “peninsula of Afro-Asia” and said that, until the scientific revolution, it played “no important role in history.”
Your own descent into adolescent name calling of AP required a similar response. Don’t like it?

It’s true that married men are more civilized than unmarried ones, but I think the destabilizing effects mainly relate to unpaired young men. The bigger political effect in the long term seems to be in the voting patterns of unmarried women whose mothering instincts may be subverted to other purposes.
Heard of this study, and I have to say I’m really quite skeptical. Evidently, it seems to be the message that the regime wants to be true. Haven’t looked into it much, but I don’t know if it was ever reproduced. I do seem to vaguely recall studies that reached the opposite conclusion.

Sadly Hack is mentally ill. He needs psychiatric assistance before he harms himself or others.
Engaging with Hack results in reduced lucidity. On medical compassion grounds, I placed him on my Ignored Commenters list. Thus, I am not contributing to his mental decline. He should not respond to my posts as he knows they will never be seen (shrug).

Once in a great while I've clicked on one of Anglin's outrageous headlines but the comments were too retarded and vitriolic. There is really nothing worse in this world than a hateful moron.
Out of curiosity, what do you think is getting scary in the other comment sections? I always remember Unz as having some pretty pointlessly nasty corners. Is is just that it's not as counterweighted by the Fred Reeds, Lihn Dinh's, and Audacious Epigones of Unz's past? Ah, the names bring me back to the good old days when Unz was so much more fun!Replies: @Emil Nikola Richard, @Mikel
Well, I’m not sure I can explain what led me to a scare-like feeling. It probably was a combination of factors. On the one hand, the realization of how deluded some people are and how many of them there must be. When it comes to conspiracy nutters, Unz is not the worst place of the internet after all. I wonder what kind of discussions they have at the regular meeting places of Quanon and similar communities. Not to mention the multi-gender, antifa folks on the side of the spectrum.
On the other hand, I remember that I felt uneasy because these mono-thematic, conspiratorial fruitcakes frequent the same website that I do. I guess I feared having inadvertently fallen in the same kind of trap that led them here, albeit in a more moderate manner. At any rate, it was a good reminder that one must avoid spending too long in an echo chamber and periodically expose oneself to ideas that challenge one’s own. At least, if objectivity and truth are of any value to you. If you’re just looking for a community of fringe characters like yourself or a venue to vent your frustrations at, I guess there’s no need to make such intellectual efforts.
I think that Unz is treading a very fine path. His mission of giving a space to voices that you’ll seldom hear is certainly commendable but I fear his personal inclination to see elaborate conspiracies everywhere is progressively turning his site into a meeting place for wackos of various kinds. There was a time when scientists of renown in their fields like Razib Khan contributed to this site and participated in the comments sections. It’s difficult to imagine something like that now.

Re AP: I made an observation that he may be lower IQ or autistic since he is unable to understand very basic axioms of life, e.g. that events can have multiple reasons.
That is often a sign of lower IQ people who can’t multi-process. Or possibly an autistic attachment to an idee fixe…I made that comment about AP mind AFTER answering discussion points. That is different from you ignoring any substantive points and mindlessly engaging in silly name-calling and ad hominem.
If you can’t tell the difference between the two, you are just proving that you have descended into infantilism and have nothing substantive to say in the discussion.

I believe Ron Unz had a chance to make this a creditable, rigorous, intelligent, objective, entertaining website if only he had played his cards right. He was on the right track when he brought in Steve Sailer, Anatoly Karlin, Audacious Epigone, Razib Khan, James Thompson, Peter Frost and a few others. These are top-quality bloggers and columnists who arguably were superior than the New York Times line-up; if only because not only were they highly analytical and intelligent, but were also free from the constraints of writing for a large, liberal corporate media establishment concerned with profit and respectability.
He could’ve done more to keep them on board, and perhaps added a few others like Emil Kirkegaard, Greg Cochran, Steve Hsu, Rindermann, Richard Hannania, Tanner Greer, Scott Alexander, Ed West, Martin Van Crevald etc. But he went with the tin foil hat brigade instead; and in the process drove away many good writers who otherwise would’ve joined on board. The columnist section of this website has gotten to the point where there are many commenters on this blog and Sailer’s who are more insightful and intelligent than Unz headline authors. Ron Unz could’ve given these commenters a spot instead. But alas…

Britain fought for Poland. It immediately blockaded Germany. Meanwhile the USSR supplied Germany with enough raw materials including oil for Germany to build large stockpiles. The USSR also hosted a U Boat base at Murmansk.
After being rebuffed by the West, the USSR made a practical decision to form a nonaggression pact with Nazi Germany. The West was the willing appeaser to Nazi Germany regarding Czechoslovakia in 1938. The USSR offered an alliance against that Nazi move which shortly thereafter saw Hungary and Poland take parts of Czechoslovakia.Replies: @Philip Owen

Look up the meaning of “fought” before you embarrass yourself. No, Britain didn’t fight for Poland and never would lose any lives for Poland, then and now. Russia did in WW2, but I doubt they would do it again…
No it didn’t. It fought for itself, after Germany attacked it. Before Germany attacked the USSR, the USSR allied with Germany (for real, not as Poland supposedly did according to your previous lies) and divided Poland with its ally. Because Poland stood between the USSR and Germany, Soviet forces had to go through Poland in order to defeat Germany.
