RSSMaybe the fact of Ron Unz being jewish means some protection, who knows. Goolag is scared to silence jews?
What are those impediments? Isn’t their own community/culture are one of those?
I bet school kids will be taught in 2050 that Medieval Europe had a large Black and Muslim population too, “just like now”.
Women hate weak men, it’s an instinctive reaction. Besides indoctrination maybe the mass pussification of the white men has lead to many white women flocking to black and brown men and wanting nothing from white males.

Russia punishes crimethink with law (Article 282)
Americans happy to self-police
Europe has the worst (best for SJWs/commies) of both worlds
Rather Canada, that is the model country for the American Left.
These lions would be too much a risk after this, having acquired the taste of humans so I am sure they were killed afterwards or transported away.
A boisterous amateur entered politics, imagining that he can change it and now he is killed slowly by the venomous vipers. He has to realize now, that it is not like the business world he is used to.
But probably it’s still better than having Hillary in the Oval Office.
Ukraine would suffice. Enough of the slavic population would be glad to move to Germany anyways.
Orban himslef was one of those anti-communists who got financial help from Soros in the 1980s. He identified as a liberal then, later he went more and more nationalist and socially conservative.
Hungary it was a little different than most other former Communist countries (except Poland and maybe Czechia) in that former Communist didn’t remake themselves as “right-wing nationalists”. They remade themselves as very pro-EU, pro-Western, (neo)liberal politicians mostly. The ex-commie party (Socialists) are and were mostly anti-nationalist, espousing “European values” in their rhetoric.
The US became a captive of Jewish interests, as they know they have to control the sole superpower on Earth to further their march to world domination., as their religion tells them.
Look up Jeremiah 3:17
At that time Jerusalem shall be called the throne of the LORD, and all nations shall gather to it, to the presence of the LORD in Jerusalem, and they shall no more stubbornly follow their own evil heart.
Of course most Zionists now are not even believers in the LORD, they consider the collective of the Jewish tribe their LORD. So all the goyim will kneel before the LORD and will give all their gold to his chosen people (there is an OT quote about that somewhere too). They will cleanse the evil of antisemitism from their evil hearts and love Big Brother.
It started way earlier than the 1950’s. First the victory of the North in the Civil War and the Reconstruction. Then the entry into WWI and the creation of the Fed under Wilson. Finally, under FDR the Federal govt was already vastly expanded. During WWII the US was by all means and purposes already statist.
Toth is a very common Hungarian surname, it actually means “Slovak”. Of course can be a jewish person, but not a typical jewish surname.
” Nixon fucked up, he should have let them lose more before intervening to get a cease fire!”
Well Israel was about to nuke the Arabs in that war (they already had nukes in 1967 but weren’t needed as it turned out). If the US didn’t send those shipments of arms to cover their losses and had the war continue to go badly for Israel then they would have dropped the Bomb.
Can you elaborate? You mean they aspire to be saints, and sacrifice themselves or to repent for the sins of their fathers? (by going extinct?) Well true, Christianity introduced this kind of nutjobs to the world who aimed to die without resisting “evil” and expecting to win that way on the metaphysical plane. Progressives don’t believe in such things though.
It's not the Russophobes in the establishment, it's what's known as 'neocons' and 'liberal interventionists', the 'new American century', the 'manifest destiny' on crack, the war party.
Similarly the current Russophobes in America’s deep state aren’t total madmen either
Wanting to expand your sphere of influence is rational as a superpower (Russia has expanded its territory for 150 years continuously with a chunk larger than Norway every year on average, as Nansen remarked once, of course it is mostly because Siberia is freaking big). They saw that Russia is weak and took the opportunity. Also it’s not like they had to force themselves on these countries much. Many of these states were sucking up to America and feared a return of the Russkies in the future. America has a “soft power” that cannot be matched by a nation like Russia, that is a fact. Think of the pervasiveness of American music, Hollywood, brands etc. Despite of its faults the USA is the coolest country on Earth. Also it is an empire now, as Cheney said, that creates its own reality. Imagine you are a small country, would you want to be at Washington’s team or at Moscow’s? (not now, say in 1991 or 2001)
Sure, the USA rules, no question about that. U-S-A, U-S-A.This is not what I meant though. The Iraq invasion, the destruction of Libya, the loyalty to Israel. Escalation in the Baltics - these territories are already fully owned, what's the purpose of sending NATO troops in there? Escalation with N.Korea? What big-picture strategy might includes all these moves? I mean, the only one I can come up with is to create as much chaos in the empire's periphery as possible and then to try to use it somehow. But if indeed this is the strategy, then the first-strike one isn't far-away...

The ABM systems in Europe cannot protect the US from Russian ICBM’s, that’s bollocks (those wouldn’t fly over Europe or even within their range, as their obvious flight path would be over the North Pole). They can protect NATO bases from a Russian tactical “warning strike” in a limited war, at least that seems to be their logical purpose. Russia says that these are in fact offensive missiles, camouflaged as ABM missiles. That is their main concern with them publicly. I don’t know whether they genuinely believe it, or they just know the former is true (that they could neuter Russian threats to nuke a NATO airfield in retaliation if the US decides to engage Russian forces in Ukraine, for example).
“Russian warheads and missiles are now maneuverable and can even use any trajectory, including over the South Pole, to reach the USA”
Not true, a FOBS system could do that, but Russia doesn’t field such one as far as I know. A maneuverable reentry vehicle can make turns (even very sharp ones) and thus avoid ABM missiles, but it cannot simply fly around the world in the other direction. You don’t seem to understand how ICBM’s work.
You seem to have too much confidence in the road/rail mobile missiles. A Topol launcher in the woods is totally visible to US radar satellites that are monitoring Russia constantly. (Forest canopy doesn’t stop radar from seeing them. Actually even underground objects are detectable by radar to some extent.) You also have too much confidence in the unpenetrability of Russia’s air defences, even against stealth bombers. I wouldn’t be so optimistic. I wouldn’t bet on even the “most advanced on the planet” against the B-2, especially considering that they have to defend a huge land area. The B-2 was developed specifically to destroy Russian mobile ICBM’s btw. They would get the target data from satellites, fly in undetected and take out them (and possibly other high value targets like command centers). True, after the end of the cold war the US canceled the order of 200 B-2’s and the 20 ones they have are a limited force. But the US is now planning to develop the B-21, basically a B-2 follow-on and deploy it in larger numbers. Stealth cruise missiles could also get through easily, like the AGM-139 ACM, it was withdrawn but the US can start producing a similar missile again if it sees it neccessary. Actually the US made a concession to the Russians by withdrawing these. Contrary to the author’s assertions the US leadership are not all total nutjobs, and at the time they were willing to deescalate somewhat.
“I find the notion that US SSNs could find and destroy all Russian SSBNs before the latter can launch unlikely in the extreme.”
It is extreme, but there are a limited number of them on patrol, and the USN has plenty of hunter-killer subs, if they can track the patrolling Russian SSBN’s constantly then they totally could take them out at once in a surprise first strike scenario.
Considering cruise missiles it is obvious that would the US decide on a surprise first strike on Russia then they would target all Russian ships on the seas anywhere, and sink them asap. They wouldn’t have much chance at launching at the US in that scenario.
Also the whole article reeks of the USSR age propaganda against the evil imperialists who are hellbent on destroying the Evil Empire ™. That is how the demented gerontocratic USSR leadership’s propaganda depicted the Reagan administration back then. Actually yes, the Reaganites hated the USSR and wanted it to collapse, but not by a nuclear war preferably. Similarly the current Russophobes in America’s deep state aren’t total madmen either, they prefer slowly choking the RF instead of launching a nuclear holocaust on them, while some may dream about a such scenario, but those are hate fantasies and no more.
Sire, don't write about things you have no clue about. I will only answer a single delirium you posted. 1. Russian SSBNs can launch not from Bastions only (what they are realistically is a whole other matter), but they can launch from bases and from... drum roll--littoral.

Forest canopy does degrade the effectiveness of radar ... radar scattering camoflauge even more so.The US is highly dependent on a number of high-cost and therefore limited availability systems. You yourself note the limited number of B-2's available to hunt down the rail- and road-mobile strategic missile, and further note that they eould be reliant on satellite data ... data from several constellations of satellites that are fairly well known to the Russians, and the Chinese for that matter, and which despite being somewhat hardened can nevertheless be blinded or even taken out entirely (think we are the only ones with ASAT?).I would expect our adversary to go immediately to a launch on warning posture that relies heavily on counter-value targeting to make it clear that a first-use policy will be costly. To Saker's point, more than enough warheads will get through. And I would expect them to use strategic and tactical indicators like force movements and systems status changes as trigger points by which they will start taking out forward offensive capabilities, like the ABMs in Europe and Asia, in a bid to head us off at the pass conventionally, when world opinion might lean their way or, more cynically, when US leadership realises losing Chicago and our Poles is less in the national interest than retaliating for a conventional strike on Poland and its Poles. I would also expect a few exoatmospheric EMP bursts over CONUS, not so much to blind or cripple the strategic forces, but to leave the population of the US stewing in their own un-air-conditioed juices without iToys.The command structure on both sides have invested heavily in their own survival, but are painfully aware they will be strung-up when they emerge from their hiding places, so maybe the neo-cons are actually hoping enough of the proles will be wiped out that there won't be enough left to overcome the remaining (now militarised) police and troops who will stand between the proles and them.Replies: @Kiza
"Forest canopy doesn’t stop radar from seeing them. Actually even underground objects are detectable by radar to some extent."
The problem of Jobbik was that the ruling Fidesz party of Orbán stole much of the nationalist voters from them, they just couldn’t out-nationalist him convincingly, as the majority of the population doesn’t want to leave the EU or to become best buddies with Iran. Jobbik was friendly with Russia but Orbán stole that from them too now he is maybe the best friend of Putin within the EU, made a deal with Russia about building a new nuclear power plant etc.
So Jobbik decided to swing to the left and take over the former voters of the Socialist Party (already many former Socialist voters supported Jobbik in the countryside), and they are now supported by an oligarch who was basically Orbán’s Rotenberg (even more, he was the financier the party for two decades in exchange of kickbacks), but fell out with Orbán a few years ago and is now his arch enemy. Also neither the left-liberal parties, neither Jobbik can hope to defeat Fidesz in the election next year, only if they make a deal. So I think Jobbik will make a deal with MSZP likely. It will not be easy to sell to the voters of neither, but they are moving in that direction definitely.
Reading the full article is more interesting though.

“Information from the Kremlin or from the White House, it’s not for us verified information,” he said. “We don’t place our trust just on their word.”
It’s a lesson American reporters should have learned long before Mr. Trump came along, especially after Iraq.
Journalists in Russia like Mr. Muratov haven’t lost sight of that lesson because they can’t afford to. Neither can we.

Well, yeah…
No one claims these things. Jews were being killed in the USSR in huge numbers before Wannsee, which was a coordinating meeting at which no actual decisions about the Final Solution were made.
Except the Holohoax claim is that the death campaign did not commence until 1942, after (according to the Holohoaxers) the”extermination decision” was reached at the Wannsee Conference held in Jan. 1942
So what then would be done with Jewish children, the elderly, pregnant women, etc.?Replies: @anonHUN, @CalDre
(which, however, reached no such decision; indeed Germany’s war industry was utterly dependent on the Jewish laborers in the camps to produce munitions and other war materials).
“So what then would be done with Jewish children, the elderly, pregnant women, etc.”
Plenty of “Holocaust survivors” are women, or were children or were in the womb even. And they somehow weren’t put to death as we would suppose… No doubt that many Jews died, but still a lot survived the so called extermination camp at Auschwitz/Birkenau/Monowitz. Also it makes no sense to build extermination camps at all. The Einsatzgruppen showed that there is no need of it. Supposedly the Nazis became emotionally distressed by the mass shootings and so they came up of the idea of killing the jews with a delousing agent. Do you seriously believe that?
It depends on the area, in some things they are 30 years behind, or even 40. The USSR collapsed in 1991 and for at least 10 years Russia had no money even to pay its soldiers. As the Chechen debacles had shown they were in shambles. Their new projects weren’t going much forward, as you can see they resumed their 1980’s projects after 2000 when they had more oil income and Putin made the Russian state working again (well, kind of… it is still hindered by corruption, disincentivizes citizens from being entrepreneurial (in a state where the rules can be changed overnight at the ruler’s whim (no real rule of law) and you can be a billionaire oligarch but you can’t be sure the state doesn’t simple take everything from you and throw you in prison overnight, even arranging for your “accidental” death, except the money you siphoned to foreign accounts and real estate abroad etc.) It is mafia state, or a mafia (ex KGB) presenting itself as the state. Of course it is more ore less true everywhere (in the US too of course), deep under the veneer of democracy and rule of law, but in Russia it is almost open and blatant. Also the Russians don’t have any traditions of enterpreneurship, private incentive, contrary to China, which is also a very corrupt country with a corrupt and totally nondemocratic regime (contrary to Russia which has token Western-style democratic institutions now), but thanks to the industriousness of the Chinese people they have risen to where they are now. Average Russians still seem to expect the state to provide for them as it was in the USSR, they need a “Father Tsar” which is now Putin, or they are just drinking too much and are in a rut, idk.
As for the years it was only an estimate of course, but as I said they first had to make up for the lost decade after 1991, like finishing subs that were left unfinished since 1992 and things like that. First really new gadgets were the Armata (and Kurganets) which is still a newcomer, and T-50, still not an operational fighter. Regarding SAM’s I must say the Russians always were the fans of SAM’s but they were ineffective in the ME and Vietnam too. Didn’t stop the enemy from achieving air superiority. I don’t doubt that the S-300 /400 is much more advanced than the SAM systems of the 60’s and 70’s were, but they would have to face a much more advanced opponent too. Like low RCS planes that cannot be detected until they are well within the range of their air-to-surface weapons or dozens of targets flying at 20-3o m coming in from multiple directions.
The F-35 is derided around here, the US spent a fortune on it, true. It has problems (only known because the US is more open, you usually don’t read in the media about problems with the new Chinese or Russian planes, sure you think it is because they don’t have any with them?) but it’s capabilities are something. Stealth is not some scam as some believe. It is serious business when your SAM’s or AAM’s cannot lock on the damn thing even if you have a monster longwave radar that can detect it from a few dozen miles…
What if Trump was playing the long con with Putin all along? He wanted him to help against Hillary, so the Russians ‘hacked’ the election for him (by propping up alt media against the totally pro-Hillary MSM, releasing the emails etc.) but never wanted to be BFF’s with Putin afterwards.
I think the military and intelligence guys (and the big contractors) need Russia as the enemy, the bogeyman, probably many of them were secretly disappointed back then when the Soviet Union collapsed. The Deep State wants an endless race, a race where America is always leading but not by too much. A Cold War with a worthy opponent, not with tinpot third world dictatorships. Many of them don’t even hate Russia, even respects it to some extent. Now they are probably happy that the old days are back.
On the other hand there are of course real Russophobes, who really want to win and finish the “job” that was left unfinished in the 90’s according to their view. They want regime change in Russia and preferably break it up, with all the republics of the RF declaring independence etc. Brzezinski, McCain or the neocons are like that. But they don’t want WW3 either, they are not nutcases, just they want to settle an account with Russia badly.
Regarding Russian military they are still 20 years behind on average, the gap didn’t close since Soviet times, if anything, it widened in many respects.
US military might is still unique and unrivaled, on the long run China has the most chance to challenge it. Russia is simply too poor, an economic dwarf compared to China (China is the workshop of the world, Russia mostly exports raw materials), also it’s population is probably too small.
