The future of humanity will be decided on a battlefield in Ukraine. That’s no exaggeration. The conflict between the United States and Russia will determine whether global economic integration will expand within an evolving multi-polar system or if the “rules-based order” will succeed in crushing any opponent to its Western-centric model. This is what’s taking place in Ukraine today, in fact, all of the recent government-prepared documents related to national security identify Russia and China as the greatest threats to US hegemony. For example, take a look at this brief clip from the 2021 Congressional Research Service Report titled Renewed Great Power Competition: Implications for Defense—Issues for Congress:
The U.S. goal of preventing the emergence of regional hegemons in Eurasia… is a policy choice reflecting two judgments: (1) that given the amount of people, resources, and economic activity in Eurasia, a regional hegemon in Eurasia would represent a concentration of power large enough to be able to threaten vital U.S. interests….
From a U.S. perspective on grand strategy and geopolitics, it can be noted that most of the world’s people, resources, and economic activity are located not in the Western Hemisphere, but in the other hemisphere, particularly Eurasia. In response to this basic feature of world geography, U.S. policymakers for the last several decades have chosen to pursue, as a key element of U.S. national strategy, a goal of preventing the emergence of regional hegemons in Eurasia.” (“Renewed Great Power Competition: Implications for Defense—Issues for Congress”, US Congress)
That sums up US foreign policy in a nutshell; “prevent the emergence of a regional hegemon” at all cost. Now check out this summary of the 2022 US National Defense Strategy by Andre Damon at the World Socialist Web Site:
These documents, which were not seriously discussed in the US media, make clear the fundamental falsehood that the massive US military buildup this year is a response to “Russian aggression.” In reality, in the thinking of the White House and Pentagon war planners, the massive increases in military spending and plans for war with China are created by “dramatic changes in geopolitics, technology, economics, and our environment.”
These documents make clear that the United States sees the economic rise of China as an existential threat, to be responded to with the threat of military force. The United States sees the subjugation of Russia as a critical stepping stone toward the conflict with China.” (“Pentagon national strategy document targets China”, Andre Damon, World Socialist Web Site)
These two excerpts are by no means a comprehensive summary of US foreign policy objectives, but they are a pretty effective thumbnail sketch. Bottom line: The war in Ukraine is not about Ukraine. America’s clearly articulated strategic objectives are as follows: To weaken Russia, topple its leader, take control of its vast natural resources and move on to containing China. Simply put, Washington’s escalating aggression in Ukraine is a Hail Mary pass aimed at containing emerging centers of economic power in order to preserve its waning position in the global order.
This is the geopolitical chess match that is being played behind the cover of “a war against Russia’s unprovoked aggression.” People should not be hoodwinked by that absurd deception. This war was concocted as a desperate attempt for the United States to defend its flickering global hegemony. That’s what Ukraine is really all about. It’s a clash between the warmongering western oligarchs who have a stranglehold on the US media and political establishment and the emerging economies that are using the market system to link their resources and manufactured goods to countries around the world through “high-speed” infrastructure and cooperative development.
So, the question everyone must ask themselves is this: Do you want to see more economic integration, lower prices, more shared prosperity and less war or another 80 years of onerous and arbitrary sanctions, color-coded revolutions, regime change operations, genocidal interventions and bioweapon warfare (Covid-19)? Which do you want?
Perhaps, you are one of the millions of Americans who believe that China is an enemy of the United States. Perhaps, you are also unaware of the role the US played in creating modern China. Here’s a question for you: Did the US and western corporations move their operations en masse to China to escape the high costs of production in the US?
answer– Yes, they did.
And, did they betray US workers because they didn’t want a fair wage to interfere with their excessive profit-making?
answer– Yep.
And, did they offshore their businesses, outsource their product manufacturing and do everything in their power to make themselves winners while robbing American workers of the opportunity of making a decent wage so they could put food on the table?
answer– They sure did.
Then who is actually responsible for the rise of China?
answer– Western corporations are responsible. If Americans want to blame someone, blame them!
But now the corporate mandarins and other elites are unhappy with China because China will not allow them to take control over their markets, financial system and currency as they have in America. So now these same cutthroat corporations want us to fight a war with the monster that they created?
Can you see that? Can you see that the relentless provocations against China have nothing to do with US national security or US interests. We are being led by the nose to fight and die for the cadres of voracious western oligarchs who have settled on China as the next target of their grand looting operation.
But let’s forget the past for a minute and focus on the future, after all, that’s what really matters, right?
Well then, which country has a more “positive vision” for the future: China or the United States?
Have you ever heard of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, the massive, multi trillion-dollar infrastructure plan that is the centerpiece of China’s foreign policy? It is the biggest infrastructure program in history and more 150 countries have invested in the plan already. It is a development-oriented project aimed at increasing connectivity through high-speed rail, shipping lanes and ports, skyscrapers, railroads, roads, bridges, airports, dams, power stations, and railroad tunnels. By increasing the speed of travel, China’s products and merchandise will get to markets faster generating greater prosperity for itself and for the other countries involved. And, keep in mind, the BRI will link countries around the world in a high-speed system that will not require its participants to follow a specific economic model dictated by Beijing. In other words, the Belt and Road Initiative is free market economics without the politics. It’s a “win-win” situation for everyone, a guarantee of mutual prosperity absent political manipulation, coercion or exploitation.
The venal oligarchs that run the US can’t even imagine a project of this scale or potential. In fact, they can’t even pony-up enough money to keep the trains on the rails in America. The profits these billionaire parasites extract from their activities invariably come from stock buybacks, tax evasion, and other sleight-of-hand, debt-layering ponzi-scams that benefit no one and merely shift more of the nation’s wealth into their own bulging bank accounts. Of course, ripping off the country would be bad enough, but now we see how this same class of miscreants have settled on public health as a means for amplifying their political power so they can impose repressive, police-state measures that greatly curtail the freedom of the entire population. In short, they want absolute social control and they aren’t going to let-up until they get it.
Where is the “positive vision” in this behavior?
There isn’t one. America used to be a country of ideas, ideals and vision. Now it is an oligarch-run detension center in which all hope for the future has been ruthlessly extinguished by a handful of mercenary billionaires.
At least, in the case of China, we can imagine a better, more prosperous world that is interconnected and more accessible to everyone. But what about the United States? Are we supposed to believe that fighting a war in eastern Europe is going to improve our lives? Are we supposed to believe that the only way “we can stay on top” is by pushing everyone else down? Are we expected to hate China and Russia even while our own government demonizes 80 million of us for voting for the wrong presidential candidate or for not supporting the terrorists who burn and loot our cities or for believing that the people in East Palestine are more deserving of our support and assistance than the Nazi stormtroopers in Kiev?
The fact is, our leaders cannot imagine devoting public resources to a giant interconnected infrastructure project like BRI, because that would mean less lucre for themselves. So, they’ve decided to destroy it just like they destroyed Nord Stream. Just read the press reviews on this groundbreaking project. Western journalists can’t find a ‘good word’ to say about it. A vast area in the center of America was fiendishly nuked with vinyl chloride, butyl acrylate and isobutylene, but the western media would rather criticize China’s ambitious BRI project than hold their paymasters accountable. Go figure.
The same rule applies to Russia. The Biden team and their wealthy allies don’t want closer relations between Germany and Russia because closer relations mean more prosperity for both countries, and Washington can’t have that, which is why they blew up the pipeline that was Germany’s lifeline to cheap fuel. That’s how Washington solved the problem. It pushed Germany and Russia down so the US could remain on top. Who doesn’t see this?
In contrast, the Belt and Road Initiative provides a positive vision for the future, which is an idea that the majority of the world supports. It puts us on a path to an interconnected world in which people can raise their standards of living, make a meaningful contribution to their communities, and enjoy their own culture and traditions without fear of being sanctioned, incarcerated or bombed to death. This is an excerpt from China’s Global Times:
The China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has already become a well-received international public good and an important platform for international cooperation…
“BRI transcends the outdated mentality of geopolitical games, and created a new model of international cooperation. It is not an exclusive group that excludes other participants but an open and inclusive cooperation platform. It is not just China’s solo effort, but a symphony performed by all participating countries….
Since the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was proposed in 2013, the initiative has always been development-oriented, and consistent efforts have been made to ensure that it is high-standard, sustainable and people-centered….
By August, China’s goods trade with countries participating in the BRI had reached around $12 trillion and the country’s non-financial direct investment in those countries surpassed $140 billion. … By the end of 2021, Chinese enterprises had invested $43 billion in the construction of economic and trade cooperation zones in BRI countries, creating more than 340,000 local jobs, official data showed…
China is open to other countries’ and regions’ participation in the BRI and is considering connecting with infrastructure initiatives proposed by other nations to provide more good-quality public goods for the world…. China hopes to join hands with all partners to advance the high-quality development … stressing that China aims to strive for global connection rather than fragmentation, for mutual opening-up rather than shutting doors, for mutual integration rather than zero-sum games. (“BRI remains open, inclusive for all, transcends the outdated mentality of geopolitical games“, Global Times)
What is the American-led project that rivals the Belt and Road Initiative?
There isn’t one. The US allocates over $1 trillion per year for lethal weaponry and war-making, and trillions more to bail out the Wall Street banksters, and trillions more to shut down all the businesses across the country that were forced to comply with the diktats of billionaire elites who wanted to inject the population with their toxic slurry, but zero for any global infrastructure project that would peacefully bring the world’s people closer together through commerce and recreation.
No one is saying that China is perfect, at least, I’m not. Nor do I want to live in China. I don’t. I’m an American and I plan to die here.
But I’m not blind. It’s easy to see that this war with Russia has nothing to do with “unprovoked aggression.” That is merely a smokescreen that’s being used to conceal the real objective, which is to preserve America’s global hegemony. What we need to do now, is honestly analyze ‘what is happening’; try to understand ‘why it is happening’, and, then, figure out what the outcome will be if the United States prevails. In other words, do we want to perpetuate an oligarch-controlled system that crushes Russia, contains China, starves Europe of the energy it needs, sabotages the Belt and Road infrastructure plan and reinforces the same failed policies that brought us Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and Iraq?
Do we want that? Do YOU want that?
The American people want their government to cooperate with other nations in order to create a more prosperous and peaceful world. They don’t want a new world order and they certainly don’t want a Third World War.
Putin’s table talks
Sholtz, Macron and Wang.
All the work of Kissinger and Nixon done to win the Cold War now undone.
what ever it takes, to free us from these despicable zioneocon, scumbag, oligarchs, i am on board. if there is no other way forward to this opportunity, then nuclear conflagration, that will be a choice made exclusively by these war criminals squatting illegally in d.c., unfortunately there’s nothing we can do about that. but that will be preferable to pnac zioneocon world domination.
the price eventually, will have to be paid for 75 years of american war crimes (as well as 75 years of attempted genocide of the palestians).
if by some miracle we can be freed without total destruction, the precedent set of seizing russian oligarchs assets will come in handy when we seize western oligarchs assets. a day of reckoning is coming, one way or another.
Your wasting your time Mike trying to wake up and enrage the “dumb animal” called the public in the West.
For years these creatures have been bombarded with every technique know to make them docile, the food source, water and any type of sustenance has been poisoned so the dumb animal has health problems as a constant companion.
Now look how the brain has been attacked, first with flashing lights, moving pictures that are chopped up so as to interupt concentration and any meaningful thought on important subjects…just distractions and freak shows.
No, we are heading for nuclear war unless those taking us there are removed…but I can’t see that happening after the poor show of people at the Washington monument for “The Rage Against the War Machine” rally.
No, we have wars because the sheeple are to dumb…by choice.
This is simply a war of the jew against the world, they expect everyone to submit to their tyranny. If you in any way support the neocons and Ukraine, you are in the end supporting white genocide, I suggest you choose very carefully what is the most important thing for you.
Mr. Whitney (above) said:
“The American people want their government to cooperate with other nations in order to create a more prosperous and peaceful world. They don’t want a new world order and they certainly don’t want a Third World War.”
Such a wonderful, truthful, concise statement. Three people and their cohorts are responsible for the deaths, so far, thousands and thousands of innocent people in the Ukraine: Putin, Zelensky, and Bidet.
And they will get away with it. The policemen who were standing around when George Floyd met his death, are in prison. But the three so-called leaders above can be responsible for thousands of deaths, and they go home at night to mansions. Such is life.
Learn Mandarin for a better tomorrow. The future is East. Asian values are superior to the perverse values of the American Empire.
good grief. That top pic is almost enough to make one believe in the “small man” Theory of History (previously, the Corsican Midget, Joe Djugashvili, A. Schickelgruber):
Babyface Tsar and little Mac can barely see over the tabletop.
“Western-centric” or ZOG-centric? Have you read “The Jewish Century” by Yuri Slezkine? It makes clear that these Zionist oligarchs are the movers and shakers of the last century, and all of its wars, revolutions and calamities. Marxist-Zionist mass murder by design. And of course, they’re still at it. Making the world Zion-centric is their pathology.

Hey Whitney:
It’s customary when writing articles to disclose any connections or payments that could influence your writings.
So how much does the Putin regime pay you for this babble? Is it in roobles, bitcoin or gold?
It is being said in Ukraine that when this war is over, Valdimir Putin will be awarded a “Hero of Ukraine” medal and his photo will be displayed prominently throughout the country with a big Thank You attached. Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has done what many said was impossible before the invasion – united almost all Ukrainians against Russia and Putin, regardless of if they were previously Russian speakers and supporters. This will be a good thing for the future of Ukraine, once it is brought into the EU.

Ukraine’s fight against Russia forges new levels of national unity a year into war
Feb 23, 2023 6:25 PM EST
By Nick Schifrin
Geoff Bennett:
Continuing our series ahead of the one-year anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukrainians’ loyalties have sometimes been described as divided between those who speak Russian and Ukrainian, between those who want to maintain historical ties with Moscow and those who see a future in the E.U. and NATO.
But Nick Schifrin reports that, in war, Ukraine is crafting a new united union. He tells that story through three Russian-speaking cities and three Ukrainian mayors, starting in the south.

The foreign policy of China and the United States are completely different. In a nutshell:
China builds stuff around the world. China builds roads, railroads, ports, dams, and water treatment plants. They try to avoid taking sides among political parties in foreign countries.
The United States does the exact opposite. We blow stuff up around the world. We instigate and fund attempts to overthrow existing governments that aren’t obeying us and fund proxy wars. We have become the worlds mafia.
South America, Latin America, Asia, and Africa have a choice to make. Do they want their future to be guided by a government that builds stuff, or a government that blows stuff up? It’s not too late for Germany, France, and Italy to see the light but I think they are going to elect to go down with the US ship.
Bad news for any legacy Putin might have thought he would gain from his invasion of Ukraine!

Vladimir Putin’s Big Backfire
In many ways, Russia’s president has already lost his war on Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, second left, attends a wreath-laying ceremony.
Angela Stent
02/26/2023 07:00 AM EST
Angela Stent is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and the author of Putin’s World: Russia Against the West and with the Rest.
One year into his war with Ukraine, Vladimir Putin’s world has shrunk. He’s lost his claim to be a global leader. Prior to his launching the invasion of Ukraine a year ago, the world treated Russia as a great power with a seat at the table on major international issues. Relations with the West may have been tense, but European and American officials continued to engage with Russia. Russia was an energy superpower with the geopolitical heft that went with that, and Putin had just established a “no limits” partnership with China’s President Xi. And Ukrainians were divided over how they viewed Russia.
What a difference a year has made. The devastation wreaked by Russians on the Ukrainian people has consolidated the entire country against them and ensured that Ukrainians will despise their large neighbor for a long time to come. Ukraine will emerge from this war with one of the most effective armies in Europe and with the prospect of European Union membership and close ties to NATO. Ukraine, as numerous officials reiterated at last weekend’s Munich Security Conference, will become part of the European family, the exact opposite of what Putin hoped to achieve with this war.

Did Putin defenestrate your dad?
The cops were doing a necessary job too.
Easy to say, hard to do. Good luck with that. People act as if the Russians and Chinese didn’t already know all this. Of course they’ve known and have come up in a guarded way. Political subversion and economic warfare have been tried and have failed. Actual warfare is out of the question as the US has nothing to throw that can’t be thrown back. So what’s left? Just ratcheting up super-exploitation of its own internal population and others that can’t defend themselves. You can’t keep a good man down, as the saying goes.
The threat of Russia and China is exaggerated in order to justify continued high defense spending here in the U.S. This is not something we can continue, though. It’s estimated by 2035 the national debt will be forty trillion dollars. Assuming a normal 5% interest rate, that will be two trillion dollars a year in interest payments. Also, looming up ahead is the insolvency of both Social Security and Medicare within about fifteen years. When Social Security becomes insolvent it will mean 20% benefit cuts. To keep Social Security and Medicare benefits at current levels will require a trillion-dollar tax increase: a 6% increase in the payroll tax and a 15% federal sales tax. Either that or increase the retirement age. The typical Democrat solution of taxing rich people more won’t work because there are just not enough rich people. This is especially going to be the case in the future with a more nonwhite and lower IQ younger generation, due to our dysgenic welfare and immigration policies over the last 60 years.
The public will reluctantly go along with tax increases or benefit cuts but not if the bloated defense budget is treated as a sacred cow that can’t be touched. After we reduce the defense budget, we won’t be able to play policeman of the world anymore. We will move from a unipolar to a multipolar world where major countries have spheres of influence. The Ukraine will be in the Russian sphere of influence. Our sphere of influence will be North America. The Russians won’t be putting missiles in Cuba, and we won’t be putting missiles in the Ukraine.
This is prime time for authentic Christians, this Marxist-Zionist crackdown. This is the organized sociopaths/satanists revealing themselves. This is them framing Christ and nailing him to the cross. This is them openly repudiating the Ten Commandments, doing their human experimentation and pedophilia. This is them in full on rage because Christians have a future and they only have this degenerating mudball which they have done their best to despoil.
Christendom can and will make a come back under these circumstances, and the more they whip and hammer Christ, the stronger he gets.
They are just beside themselves, in a full-on murderous frenzy, not caring how they’re exposing themselves, just violently lashing out in a mad rage.
I know the Chinese also fear Christendom, but if they care about their people and their eternal souls, and given that the only alternative is this insane, unhinged, Satanic monster, who has always stalked the world and done so much evil, even the Chinese elite must be thinking seriously about converting.
This era is Jesus Christ coming back into the world, full on. There is no stopping it. I almost feel sorry for these Satanists, the frenzy of rage and recrimination they’re facing, but I know now is the time to finish them because the world literally has no other choice.
God is playing hardball, and God don’t lose.
“Ukraine is crafting a new united union”
Ukraine was considered to be the most corrupt country in Europe before the war and also one of the poorest. Somehow this writer thinks that the war will end up benefiting Ukraine. GDP decreased by 35% in 2022, the corruption continues, and death and destruction is all around. And anyone who thinks that the United States is going to continue to fund Ukraine after the war is settled ignores our recent history. We will abandon Ukraine as soon as we determine that we have done as much damage as possible to Russia.
For the United States the people of Ukraine are mere cannon fodder to be used and then abandoned.
Seems you think ppl have a say over how america is run… Being sarcastic here…
Isn’t this exactly what Russia wants: to weaken Ukraine, to topple Zelensky, take control of Ukraine’s vast natural resources, and move on to containing NATO, its “existential threat”?
The pro-Russian agitprop is getting heartbreakingly anemic. Might as well need face-mask ventilators soon and then go the way of all flesh.
Do you have any idea of the scope of the Western oligarchs’ assets? We are talking hundreds of trillions under operative control on the part of the Rottenchilds and Rottenfellers alone. If the immense fortunes hogged by those crime clans could revert to the descendants of those they have mulcted for generations; there would be no homeless on our streets, no people who feel hopeless because everything costs so much these days, no persons who have money in the bank seeing their savings frittering away due to imposed inflation through the central banks owned by these evil ones and perhaps most importantly no more fear and depression, along with amplified coping mechanisms such as alcohol and dangerous drugs.
One could go on and on about the changes. Pity is that those who have died from the Big Pharma jabs will not have survived to enjoy such benefits of liberation from debt bondage.
Pro Russian agitprop??? Fuck off, Bitch.
Yes, Asian values sure are superior:
Bo Bo, you have made a boo boo. Why blame Putin. Are you stoopid or simply misinformed?
I wonder how many poor Ukrainian tank crews, now training in German and American tanks, are in touch with friends and family members in Russia working out a plan to deliver their tank to Russian forces for a million dollars. Half? Or do they fight for Z until they are killed?
It seems US Army Generals are thinking the same thing, saying M-1 Abrams will arrive NEXT YEAR, maybe.

Mike Whitney writes
Mike Whitney’s comment here goes way beyond the scope and significance of the so-called “anti-vaxx crackpottery” hysterically condemned by you know who.
Good one!
There is not enough satire on Unz. About time for a good spin into weirdness.
Copying and pasting MSM stories. Don’t make it more obvious you’re a paid shill. Probably believe in the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus as well. Or even worse, you actually believe Russia is actually going to lose this battle. News flash, the powers that be in the East have seen this coming from miles away and have prepared accordingly. Nothing the US has tried has worked. Sanctions, proxy army, propaganda, etc. The real kicker? India and a host of other countries refuse to get on board with the US. They have all learned that the west’s word is worthless and they’ll turn on you in a split second if you don’t do exactly as they want. We’re witnessing the fall of the American empire and it’s wonderful to watch.
“Oligarch-controlled” is really Jews-controlled. After World War II, the victorious Jews saw an opportunity to control the Western World using the U.S. and its military force as the instrument. The oligarchs are the wealthy Jews (and their few associates and servants) who want to control the rest of the world as the U.S. is waning. The Jews have an iron grip on the U.S. as a whole. Their war on Germany (and Russia) started in the early 1930s, and continues today.
The Mackinder World Island (eurasian continent) is now front stage center and poised to dominate for centuries. Nuclear armed Russia on the North and West. Nuclear armed China on the East. Nuclear armed India on the South. Vast resources, 52 million square miles and 5 billion intelligent citizens rising out of poverty. Does anyone think the Amelikan peripheral degenerate GloboHomoSchlomo island empire, producing little of real value (movies, reverse mortgages, debt, financial scams, etc) and consisting of only 1 billion citizens (soon to be 1/2 billion when the euroweanies and japanese discard their shackles), can actually compete with the dynamism and productivity of the now almost fully emerged Mackindor World Island?
For the most part I like this essay, but there is a critical part with which I take exception.
Author Whitney slightly rewords that shortly afterwards.
Russia and China don’t have a lot of common ground, and until fairly recently they were quite ‘bristly’ with each other. The US has driven them into each other’s arms by some “diplomacy” which seems plenty stupid to me.
It’s my own conjecture that Washington DC has an ongoing faction fight between the folks who want to maintain the dollar domination the US has had – the branch which sees China as a valid threat, and the ones who want to take down Russia for entirely different reasons.
Russia was NOT any kind of threat to the Imperial Hegemon, and had been trying to join the West for a very long time. Yet they were the ones who were attacked first, and most viciously.
To put it simply, the Zionists won the fight as to who got attacked first. Repeating an old saying I used to hear as a kid, the Imperials have been reduced to sucking hind teat, and their China Offensive has been put off until 2025.
The Apartheid state’s own imperial dream is stymied by Russia in Syria, by its arming of Iran, and the prospective tossing out of Zionist Propagandists from Russia.
Zionists vs Imperials – that’s how I see it from flyover Indiana.
The clumsy and clueless behavior of both groups may end up creating a military alliance of sorts between China and Russia. Witness the recent loud braying about how China had better not sell any weapons to Russia. Alexander Mercouris recently speculated that China may well send something like drones to Russia even if Russia doesn’t need them simply to make a Middle Finger demonstration to DC.
If the future is East, why does East Asia have a fertility rate around 1 child per woman, in soke cases lower?
That’s 50% below replacement. Optimistic cultures don’t have such low fertility rates. The long term future is African and Central Asian. Although the US’s dominance should be expected to last for 200 more years (America only entered its imperial stage about 125 years ago).
Your prediction are wishful thinking and are miles miles away from reality. So for Gods sake please wake up and smell the coffe.
This is a very informative and useful contribution from Mr Whitney. Nothing but truth here, and our choice is clear: BRI or some such – or a Cosa Nostra inspired, designed and run Brave New World.
It is time for the general rising, for instant oligarchic expropriation, full examination and dispensation into the proper, logical future
On yesterday’s readings- the first Sunday of the Lent,
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fp3zMslWYAE9bYt?format=jpg&name=small
“Stat Crux dum volvitur orbis” “The Cross stands firm while the world turns.”
In the biblical account of the Devil and Christ in the desert, the Devil tempts Jesus with three different offers of power and glory, which Jesus ultimately rejects. These three temptations have been widely interpreted as symbolic of various aspects of human nature and the nature of temptation itself.
The first temptation involves the Devil telling Jesus to turn stones into bread to satisfy his hunger. This temptation is often interpreted as a symbol of the lure of material possessions and the desire for immediate gratification. Jesus rejects this temptation by saying that “man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).
The second temptation involves the Devil taking Jesus to the top of the temple and telling him to throw himself down, saying that the angels will save him. This temptation is often interpreted as a symbol of the desire for fame and recognition, and the willingness to take unnecessary risks to achieve it. Jesus rejects this temptation by saying, “You shall not put the Lord your God to the test” (Matthew 4:7).
The third temptation involves the Devil showing Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and telling him that he will give them to Jesus if he bows down and worships him. This temptation is often interpreted as a symbol of the temptation of power and control over others. Jesus rejects this temptation by saying, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve’” (Matthew 4:10).
.
– Dostoevsky’s version of the temptation story in his novel “The Brothers Karamazov” is quite different from the biblical account of the Devil and Christ in the desert. In the novel, the character Ivan Karamazov tells his younger brother, Alyosha, a story about the Grand Inquisitor who meets Jesus during his second coming.
Bread:
“Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God” (Matt. 4:4).
“We shall give them bread in exchange for their freedom. They will be more grateful for the bread than for their freedom which they will have forgotten how to value” (the Grand Inquisitor).
Fame:
“All the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me” (Matt. 4:8-9).
“We have corrected Thy work and have founded it upon miracle, mystery and authority. And men rejoiced that they were again led like sheep” (the Grand Inquisitor).
Power:
“Cast thyself down, for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone” (Matt. 4:6).
“And we who have taken their sins upon us for their happiness shall stand up before Thee and say: ‘Judge us if Thou canst and darest’” (the Grand Inquisitor).
–thought-provoking insights and inspirations:
-The Power of Freedom: The Grand Inquisitor argues that most people do not want freedom, as it is a burden that requires individuals to make their own choices and take responsibility for their lives. Instead, people crave security and guidance from those in power. However, the speech also highlights the importance of freedom, and the sacrifices and struggles required to attain it.
The Role of Religion: The Grand Inquisitor presents a cynical view of religion, arguing that it is a tool for controlling the masses and maintaining power. However, the speech also acknowledges the power of faith and the role it can play in people’s lives, even if it is often manipulated by those in positions of authority.
The Value of Self-Sacrifice: The Grand Inquisitor’s speech also explores the idea of self-sacrifice, highlighting the importance of individuals who are willing to suffer for the sake of others. This theme is echoed throughout Dostoevsky’s work, and can be seen in the characters of the novel who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others.
The Dangers of Ideology: The Grand Inquisitor’s speech also warns of the dangers of ideology and dogmatism. It highlights the danger of imposing a single worldview on others, and the importance of diversity of thought and belief.
The Search for Meaning: Finally, the speech highlights the importance of the search for meaning and purpose in life. It suggests that individuals must grapple with the question of whether life has meaning and purpose, and must find their own answers to this fundamental question.
I thought for sure that Whitney (as usual) was going to avoid naming the real culprits who are leading us down this primrose path, but then I read
Well, in difference to their great learning I prefer to refer to them as the knows, but it’s good to see Whitney here finally calling a spade a spade.
Putin is responsible in the sense that he didn’t crush the nazis in 2014. For the current conflict he’s not responsible in any other way at all.
If Russia wanted to topple Elensky the little cocaine addict would months ago have been a smoking smear on the ground.
Don’t bother trying to educate meamjojo.
So tired of this stupid war that will last for years and years.
Ukraine being depopulated. Germany ful of Ukrainians.
What the hell is the point of this war? As their country is depopulated, US/NATO/Zelensky keep talking about “winning”. I don’t think it means what they think it means.
It reminds me of that Woody Allen’s line about war in “Love and Death”: “What do we win?”
The West is attacking Russia using Ukraine as a hammer. The weird thing is that Ukraine likes it.
The Illegitimate Biden Administration also shut down the Keystone XL pipeline in addition to blowing up Nordstream pipelines. These despicable idiots are eco terrorists with one goal and that is to deprive the US, EU, Russia, China, Etc. Cheap energy and control who gets to pay to play in their corrupt globalist monopoly agenda.
We are ruled by Eco terrorists who use climate activists, GlobalHomo, open border invaders, Ziobanking cartels and race hustlers to genocide and replace the entire white human race, while they become richer and more powerful.
Unless there’s a great awakening, we are doomed.
Could this all go back to earlier days and Rocky and His Friends? Only saying. The evil Russians were portrayed by Boris Badenoff and Natasha—-and there was the reliable Wayback Machine where Sherman and Mr. Peabody took a critical re-run of history. All fits –today’s adults are brainwashed and it all began with Rocky and Bullwinkle —-
One year of brutal sanctions – a tour of a suburban supermarket similar to a CostCo in Russia.

Hate what you can not understand –sanction what you must and murder rather than discuss. Christianity has much to answer for —-it is the wrapper concealing the Jewish hand —and we know their (Jew) god is satan–a murderer and liar from the beginning.

“Russia and China as the greatest threats to US hegemony”
That should read “Russia and China as the greatest threats to Zionist hegemony“, as per the Zionist Wolfowitz Doctrine.
Americans get nothing from Zionist hegemony. The current burst of inflation is yet another giant robbery by the Zionist financiers. That’s your family’s money going down, down, down. Like the financial crisis of 2008, millions of American households and small businesses went bankrupt while “Wall Street” had “record profits. Ditto for the Middle East war scams, and this Ukraine war scam. They want to do to Russians what they are already doing to Americans. With the help, of course, of traitors like Joe Biden and Ted Cruz.
Thanks Mike, for the very good analysis of how “our” financiers moved all those jobs to China (and are letting our infrastructure fall apart). I notice that Steven K. Bannon claims the Chinese “stole” American jobs because they control the Western financiers. He seems amazingly unaware of the Zionist banking empire. And apparently completely unaware that Anthony Blinken, Victorial Nuland, and Jake Sulliven are all Zionists, not Chinese! Then he calls Israel an “ally”, when the overwhelming evidence says Israel is America’s sneakiest, most dangerous enemy, destroying America from within.
Bannon looks like a gigantic controlled op, diverting a big chunk of America’s resistance to the financial oligarchy away from the real target.
The USA’s psychopathic ‘elites’ do not want to ‘contain’ China. They plainly, their race and cultural hatred being undisguised, wish to DESTROY China. Kill as many ‘slopes’ as they can, destroy all that infrastructure that puts the US garbage heap to shame, and split the country into pieces, various places ie Tibet, Xinjiang, Taiwan, ‘South’ Mongolia etc, ripped off, and a number of residual statelets ruled by Quislings, as in Taiwan at present, remaining, subservient to the White, Western, ubermenschen.
Come on, Mark. The USA is going to repudiate its debt, and kill anyone who objects-if they can. China has written off its US Treasuries already, I expect.
“These documents make clear that the United States sees the economic rise of China as an existential threat, to be responded to with the threat of military force”.
Lest anyone think otherwise, be it understood that China is emphatically not an “existential” threat to anything – except certain people’s drug-addled delusions of world power.
China is about the most peaceful great power I can remember – and I have studied history assiduously, if not very deeply. The Chinese much prefer to deal with others on terms of equality and fairness – which doesn’t of course prevent them from competing vigorously and liking profit. Well over two thousand years ago, while most of our ancestors were painting their skins various colours and fighting one another with spears, Confucius and Lao-tse were engaging in dialogue about the nature of civilisation, good citizenship, and virtue. Their respective arguments are still impressive today, and they both make Western leaders sound like retarded children.
Far from being “an existential threat”, China merely wants a level playing field where its major competitors do not make the rules and sit as judge, jury and executioner. Sounds reasonable to me.
I might add that the distorted use of “existential” rivals that of “exponential” – people use those long, impressive words without, evidently, having the faintest idea what they mean.
One of the true Reasons — GREED — It made China what it is today and it was used against Russia in the 90s after the CCCP fell. And along with Greed comes a long list of other nasty habits and corruption – which looks like it is — BackFiring on at least some of those Greedy Bastards.
In this text, the situation is set much more seriously than in Rolo’s text – Russians has no strategy for winning this war; (which war?).
There, in #186, the ”Targets 2030” were presented, and here we have a continuation:
In 2018, ultra-globalists published the document “Targets for 2030” and held a conference at the Complexity Institute (Santa Fe, USA).
It was a very important conference. Its content determined further events in the world. The conference was not secret, but it was closed, and the media structures were advised not to draw attention to it and not to follow it in the media.
If the document “Targets…” lists only the goals, then in the discussions at the conference at the Complexity Institute of Santa Fe, in which R. Tillerson and several special structures formulated strategy, means of achieving them. The conference, codenamed “Risks of a Vulnerable World”, was attended by corporate executives, politicians and senior intelligence officials. After six reports were heard and discussed (general; economy and industry; threat to stability and order from artificial intelligence; climate; energy; demography), the discussion began about the main possible and desirable scenarios for the development of humanity – of course, in the interest of the upper 0.1 % of the world’s elite that the participants serve.
The first two scenarios – revolutionary (humanity solves current acute problems and makes qualitative breakthroughs in the future) and optimal (humanity simply solves pressing problems without any breakthrough) – were dismissed by most participants as unlikely to be implemented. The reason is the low intellectual and voluntary level of the world’s administrative elite, on the one hand, and the well-fed conformity, lack of initiative and narrow-mindedness of the majority of the population, on the other. The third scenario – a catastrophe – was considered the most probable by 55 percent of the participants. The fourth scenario caused the greatest interest – 25% voted for the desirability of its application. It is called the “anthropological transition”.
It is about creating a society whose tops and bottoms are as different as two biological species. The upper classes, constantly changing organs, live for 120-140 years in ecologically clean zones (“enclaves”), including floating cities, eat high-quality natural protein foods, and keep the lower classes and resources under complete control. The lower classes live 40-60 years, are physically weak, fundamentally uneducated, live in ecologically polluted areas, immersed in “interactive”, i.e. virtual reality; St. Lem, in The Sum of Technology, called it phantommatic. In fact, we have a two-caste society in the spirit of the Eloi and Morlocks from The Time Machine by H. Wales, without any hint of the middle class (“class”), which should be the first to go “under the knife” of expropriation during the anthropological transition to the New World Order.
That was then. Now Ukraine is on a strong reform kick and has/is prosecuting corruption when found. They know they had better for not doing so might lead to a cutoff of support from the West. Hopefully, they can keep this up.
Ukraine is going to get so much assistance in rebuilding, they are going to have some of the best infrastructure in Europe, which will be a big help in recovery from the damage Russia has inflicted.
Meanwhile, Russia is going to be thought of as a has-been with no future. Unless they agree to cooperate to pay for rebuilding Ukraine when they finally lose this war, sanctions will continue squeezing on them. A good number of their best and smartest citizens have bailed other countries. Russian citizens are going to stuck in a large but second world country.

‘The World’s Largest Construction Site’: The Race Is On to Rebuild Ukraine
As the country’s leaders lay postwar plans, companies from around the world are jockeying for advantage in what could be a multibillion-dollar effort, although one loaded with risk.
Feb. 16, 2023
Latvian roofing companies and South Korean trade specialists. Fuel cell manufacturers from Denmark and timber producers from Austria. Private equity titans from New York and concrete plant operators from Germany. Thousands of businesses around the globe are positioning themselves for a possible multibillion-dollar gold rush: the reconstruction of Ukraine once the war is over.
Russia is stepping up its offensive heading into the second year of the war, but already the staggering rebuilding task is evident. Hundreds of thousands of homes, schools, hospitals and factories have been obliterated along with critical energy facilities and miles of roads, rail tracks and seaports.
The profound human tragedy is unavoidably also a huge economic opportunity that Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has likened to the Marshall Plan, the U.S. program that provided aid to Western Europe after World War II. Early cost estimates of rebuilding the physical infrastructure range from $138 billion to $750 billion.

And even if Putin had been able to take Ukraine and declare it part of Russia again, he would still be surrounded by NATO. But regardless, Poland recognizes it needs protection and is cozying up to the USA, asking for US military bases.

Polish PM: ‘We want permanent US military bases’
Polish PM Mateusz Morawiecki has said that Poland and the U.S. are discussing the establishment of permanent U.S. military bases
February 20, 2023
During an interview with the CBS program “Face the Nation,” Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said he hoped that U.S. President Joe Biden would confirm his determination to see Russia beaten in the war with Ukraine. Morawiecki disagreed with those European leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz who are saying that Russia “cannot win this war and Ukraine cannot be defeated.”
“We have to change that paradigm and we have to say, Ukraine must win and Russia must be defeated,” said Morawiecki. The reason for this is that “the very nature of Russia is to conquer other countries.”
Asked whether Poland ruled out any negotiations while Putin stays in power, Morawiecki said that he had just returned from the Munich Security Conference and noted that the city was the site of another conference back in 1938 at which European leaders felt they had negotiated peace.
“This time around, there was no room for such naivety, and it was up to the Ukrainians to define what would be negotiated with Russia and when,” said Morawiecki.

“united almost all Ukrainians”
Problem is it united all Ukrainians in wanting to leave Ukraine! Those press ganged Ukranian soldiers would have crossed a border LONG ago if they wouldn’t be shot for trying.
Nice piece, but until Whitney names the Jews as the “venal, mercenary billionaires,” he’s not getting to the root of the problem. Why is this missing?
Thank you Mike Whitney. The U.S. sees the economic rise of China as an existential threat to be responded to with the threat of military force. The U.S. sees the subjugation of Russia as a critical stepping stone toward the conflict with China. They have decided to destroy the B.R.I.. Now look at Dan.11:44-45. Can you guess who is the king of the north? Russia or N.A.T.O.?

Well, China is a surplus economy while the USA is a deficit economy.
When America was a surplus economy, up to 1980 (in that year America’s net international creditor position was larger than the combined net creditor positions of all other countries), it helped fund lots of infrastructure projects through special programs such as the Marshall Plan in Europe and through institutions such as the WB around the world.
What I mean to say is that the current arrangements where the USA is a destroyer of things and China is a creator of things is not due to inherent properties but rather to a historical economic contingency, brought about by USA elites’ mismanagement of their advantageous position up the 80s.
Essentially, all the USA is forced to do now to maintain its position is a vain effort to correct the macro mistakes made in the 70s, which led to a turn around from being the largest creditor up to 1980, to being the largest debtor from the 90s and on into the start of the new century.
The men most responsible for these errors are sitting smiling in Camp David in the 2nd photo of the following essay:

On the contrary. I looked at the redrawn map of Russia’s western extremities and, with the incorporation of the territories in the Donbas, Putin’s world has in fact EXPANDED.
And, there’s every possibility it will expand further still as Ukraine is vivisected and Russia ends up annexing territories adjacent to Crimea which leaves what remains of Ukraine landlocked.
Certainly from the standpoint of prestige, Putin’s reputation has been greatly enhanced over these last 12 months.
Single-handedly, Putin’s Russia inflicts one mortal blow after another on ZOG and those western vassals it controls, so all credit to him on that score.
We all owe Putin an eternal debt of gratitude for making this outsized contribution to the demise of ZOG.
MeanJooJoo said that before this proxy war, ‘ European and American officials continued to engage with Russia’ (implying that this is no longer the case).
This is yet another feather in the cap of Putin. Because, after all, the U.S and their western lackeys are not agreement capable.
They’re nothing but thieving M-F’ers. That Putin brought about this disengagement, is something to be applauded. (Tip of the hat to you Mr V.V. Putin).
In relation to this comment of yours:
… you could well be right.
It’s possible that Putin will drag this conflict out into a war of attrition because Russia, with its inexhaustible resource base, can continue indefinitely.
With every day that passes, Russia gets stronger in relative terms, whilst the Anglo Zionist empire and its western vassals descend inexorably into the abyss.
Every few weeks we hear stories of yet another European vassal handing over to Ukraine yet more of its military hardware and a sizeable chunk of its defence budget.
One day it’s the Germans with Leopard II tanks, then it’s the British with their Challengers or Americans with their Abrams.
We hear stories of Americans committing their MANPADS to Ukraine. Soon enough the ladies of America will commit their WOMEN-Pads, tampons and other feminine hygiene products to the cause.
That’s the spirit ladies !!
I recall also that the U.S had been sending quite a few Javelins over to Ukraine.
I really can’t see how that made much of a difference (unless they sent the big block 390 cubic inch versions* – which could well build up some momentum if used to run over Russian infantry).
(*The photo below features a 1971 AMC Javelin SST):
Take the following article for example as proof that the NATO constituents, one by one, are committing ever increasing proportions of their defence capabilities towards this war on behalf of ZOG. (The article below is titled ‘Estonia has committed one-third of its defence budget to Ukraine’):
https://salten.cz/2022/10/19/estonia-has-committed-one-third-of-its-defense-budget-to-ukraine-minister/
And, as the Russians blow up one installment of military hardware after another from the NATO members, we may well get to a stage where the NATO constituents have nothing left in the way of military weaponry or munitions with which to defend themselves.
“Isn’t this exactly what Russia wants: to weaken Ukraine, to topple Zelensky, take control of Ukraine’s vast natural resources, and move on to containing NATO, its “existential threat”?”
Yes.
Except for the control of the resources.
No.
Russia has its own resources. Nor does it need the MONUMENTAL headfuck of trying to get them out of Ukraine.
I wonder how many 100’s of billions will be needed just to get Ukraine back to a 2nd world country…..

These countries are managed by select classes of technocrats , demagogues media bosses and academics . All of them trace their education to US or west . They speak English . They watch CNN or BBC . They read NYT or WSJ . Their local English school and universities prepare them to copy English accent ,learn the cant and slang , use the ideas that are in currency in the west . They read local English papers who copy and paste American or European ideas and amplify with local focus on regional rivalries that are created by the west ( Kashmir where elites of India and Pakistan fight ) .
It’s possible that these classes might find themselves at the receiving ends if and when China Russia Iran disappeared as resistors .
Shrinking pie of the loot will goad Washington and London to send regal ,royal representative or high powered eurocrats or American viceroys to take the powers of the local elites away and the western corporations will move .
Rudyard Kipling ‘s imploring for white man’ s burden will echo and bounce back and forth .
Third world would go back to pre WW2 situations .
What if a decision has been made that this war should end in such a way that both sides can declare themselves winners, or rather no side as winners? Perhaps neither side wants to see the other completely humiliated. We’ll have to wait and see. All we get here is cheerleaders for both sides completely confident that their side can win and achieve all their aims, but of course that comes at a cost that ultimately neither side may want to pay.

But, (hoping Russia picks up the pace …..? ) how will the US handle a fall of Bahkmut & environs ?
Russia crosses the Dneineper (sic) & moves west, without serious defence ? Could such kick the chair out from US elites ?
Internationally, it will be a disaster, but domestically…..who knows.
Helpful question — how many citizens know nothing of Hershe’s Nordstream revelations ?
Ah, Treason, degeneracy, have free reign…….Here’s hoping the whole fucking world doesn’t go down the gurgler……
Abrams tanks are not Honda Accords. UK will need American “advisors” to train and probably operate them. And that’s true on many of the weapons systems Biden is giving Zelensky. This is a replay of how we got bogged down in Vietnam; advisers become ground troops inevitably. Unless we wake up.
At a loss why the OP features a photo of Breezy Point, NY post Hurricane Sandy. We rebuilt mostly on our own. But at least FEMA showed up, if they did nothing. East Palestine OH didn’t even get that. Not even day old fast food nor Red Cross blankets. A measure of how far we have fallen; not even the pretense of caring.
So China has become the industrial center of the World – what else did the rich expect? Under the horrid Clintons, the rich pulled a fast one – they shifted the American production of industry over to China. (Sure it was called NAFTA, but it was about China) – neat – have industry save on labor costs and get the Americans to buy the same stuff at the same cost by going into debt – both the rich snots that inherited the old American corporations and the wise-assed Jews that got to loan the poor slobs the money to go into debt made out. The poor slobs who used to work in the auto plants at $30/hr. now flip hamburgers at $9/hr. But everyone else was happy.
The rich now have figured out that this sweet deal can only last so long. China is taking over and the American Government is now broke. The Feds can’t afford to both feed the poor slobs and the MIC and the Israeli Firsters. So who is it to go hungry? If you have to ask, you don’t understand the Ukraine/Russian War do you?
Replacement birth rate is only important for growth via expansion. If the goal is sustainable future living, each area will have different population parameters with contraction being not only viable but preferable in many cases.
You are simplistic, at best. The Jew could have done almost none of this by himself. It is first the Anglo-Saxon desire to pirate the world, which comes from historic and defining Germanic greed, bloodlust, and sense of superiority over anyone they plunder and murder. That has been meshed with the Talmudic sense of Chosen Race that also is Beyond Good and Evil and expects to rule and plunder the entire world.
Anglo-Zionism. Pagan-at-heart culturally Germanic pirates and military planners allied with Jewish bankers. It requires Anglo-Saxons and therefore Anglo-Saxon history of building an empire upon which the sun never sets.
Most of the 6 million or so Ukrainians who have fled into Western Europe or Poland will not return ton the Ukraine. And virtually none of the Russian speakers in the Donbass or in Odessa will ever agreee to accept being ruled by Ukrainians subservient to the Anglosphere.
That is the actual result of this proxy war planned for more than 2 decades in DC and the City of London.
Jewish bankers were indispensable to the British Empire, the largest in world history, well before the dawn of the Victorian Age. So Jews operating out of America is a late comer to the Anglo-Zionist Perpetual Imperialism party.
I worked as a Construction PM in Ukraine – don’t make me laugh about any type of work in Ukraine that isn’t 100% corrupt. In 2008 the Ukie infrastructure was rated – 136th worse country in the world. The War is doing Ukraine a favor – when it comes to a lot of it’s infrastructure and most roads.
In a few years, the Ukies living in NoviRossiya will be sitting on the Crimea beaches – like they used to do – before the Maidan – and that is a good thing.
We’ll see who is dumber when the nukes start dropping on China … enjoy the chowmein while you can!
Bonaparte was 5’6″, a man of normal height for the era. The idea that he was a short little fellow with big vain dreams was an invention of the British propaganda apparatus – not unlike what they would later resurrect about another strong European leader who drove another British invasion army off the continent 145 years later.
“Ukraine is going to get so much assistance in rebuilding they are going to have some of the best infrastructure in Europe”
Zelinsky has compared the rebuilding effort “to the Marshall Plan”
It’s good to be optimistic but your assessment of what is likely to occur in post war Ukraine is off the charts wildly optimistic. I repeat. Ukraine was a very poor and very corrupt country before the war and there is no chance that the corruption problem has been solved by Zelinsky during this 12 months of war. The more likely occurrence in post war Ukraine will be a repeat of the Yeltsin years in Russia. The “entrepreneurs” who will be arriving in Kiev will be more akin to looters than to developers.
Regarding the Marshall Plan, I think it’s a pipe dream. That was a completely different time in history. There is no way that American voters are going to continue to pay for Ukraine government employee wages and Ukraine senior citizen pensions post war. I hope I’m wrong and you are right, but what I see coming to Ukraine looks closer to post war Iraq and Libya than post war Germany.
You two should get a room. Your gay porn is disgusting,
The US does indeed have its own BRI, had it years before the Chinese. We just use the military and the CIA in our Bases and Revolutions Initiative.
China is selling treasuries at a steady clip. Plus they are secure in that they have $10 trillion or so in assets of the nifty 50 countries sitting prettily in and around Beijing to seize when they need somé extra cash.
Everything you said is true. NATO has long analyzed everything, drawn historical parallels and made a decision. Putin doesn’t even realize how pathetic he looks in the eyes of the world community. NATO is laughing at his clumsy attempts to turn things around and present himself as some kind of dove of peace and savior. He has at his disposal a vast army of agitprops, historians and academics who are still trying to prove with flimsy arguments that the aggression of 1941 was planned by Hitler, which is no longer a subject of modern research. Science, on the other hand, is concerned with the war of aggression prepared by Stalin, whom Hitler had beaten largely by chance.
It is to Colonel Danilov’s credit, for example, that he published the Soviet offensive plan in its entirety and commented on it in detail, providing very conclusive details of the military preparations. The General Staff’s plan of May 15, 1941, took up the basis of Stalin’s speech to the graduates of military academies and, through the General Staff, practically turned Stalin’s statements of May 5, 1941, into a guide for operational action. On 13 June 1941, TASS called rumors of preparations for war with Germany “false and provocative”; the gathering of reserves and the forthcoming maneuvers were supposedly only for “training” and “checking the work of the railway apparatus”.
By this time, according to later German conclusions, “almost all of the available forces of the USSR had already been moved to the German Eastern Front from the depths of Russia as a result of months of displacement. Otherwise, we could hardly find large formations in front of the German front, which, according to the 4th Armored Group’s report on the enemy’s disposition of August 10, 1941, was 330 Soviet divisions, and according to the 3rd Armored Group’s reconnaissance report of August 7, 1941 – even 350.
It is now proven that Stalin was haunted by panic for years, that Hitler could have survived the end of the war and fled abroad. Putin seems to have the same mental disorder regarding Europe.
Nobody is going to build anything in Ukraine for a long time, nobody will insure anything there. Plus RU is going to keep blowing the place to smithereens if anything that even smells like NATO goes anywhere near there.
ALERT…ZIONIST TROLL.
“they are going to have some of the best infrastructure in Europe”
It’s like the mirror image of the commenters who talk about cauldrons and how Artemovsk will fall any day now.
They’ll have great infrastructure
a) if they don’t lose, which is highly unlikely
b) if WW3 doesn’t break out, in which case running the trains on time (and indeed Ukraine) will be least of our concerns.
MW does everything but name DaBastahds…….so to fill that gap – (This is a uniquely insightful analysis…..requires a long attention span and certainly above average reading comprehension. It will destroy your American exceptionalist public school version of history – which of course is almost a total farce in itself, having been written by DaBastahds who control our education from K through PHD – but if you’re interested in reality, it’s worth studying……not for casual readers.
However, it goes a long way to explain that mantra – ‘You and him go fight!’ – which certainly applies to the bloody 20th century….if you know what I mean. – CL)

“That is merely a smokescreen that’s being used to conceal the real objective, which is to preserve America’s global hegemony.”
This has nothing to do with America’s global hegemony.
Average Americans gain nothing from all the wars that have been fought by the US over the past 60 years, and that is especially true for the Ukrainian war.
Average Americans have not been asked about fighting all these wars over the past 60 years.
Average Americans only input to all these wars is to pay for them, which is making the cost of living in the US prohibitive.
This is what is really going on:
“That is merely a smokescreen that’s being used to conceal the real objective, which is to preserve American billionaire’s global hegemony.”
Dont you Chow Ming people have a saying not to underestimate the enemy ? The population is not dumb, the politicians are. Same as in China !
If there is a war, the incompetents will be swept away. This is usually what happens in critical situations. Several US States are already beginning to clamp down on Chinese activities, others will follow until there is a tidal wave of Chinese rejection.
I doubt there will be any war with China. The stakes are too high. Chinamen with much at stake are not going to forfeit it all because the chief nutball in the CCP wants to rule the world. Xi’s own people may well dispose of him. Remember also, its not the number of guns or gang members that generate power but the ability and willingness to do what the other side will shrink from doing.
We have used nukes before on Asians and believe me there will be no hesitancy to do so again. As for the Chinese in the west we will drive them into the sea after seizing their assets ! Every other country in Asia will rail against the CCP, after all, if it is mad enough to rock with the US, then who else will it try to muscle.
China is an inherently weak country, a tilapia pretending to be a shark. The West need only blockade the countries supplying China with raw materials plus stop buying Chinese goods and you people are screwed. China is not a self sufficient country and it has 1.4B people to feed. Starvation has always been a bowl of rice away. This is a historical fact !
The treaty with Russia is an unnatural one, different people, different cultures. Two Soviet/ Chinese treaties in the past fell apart. This one will as well. Putin, will also be horrified at any direct confrontation between China and the West.
You guys WILL LOSE. The US has its problems but to underestimate it will be a fatal mistake !
Amazing. Putin and Macron together without Macron’s grand mère…er…”wife” in sight.
Our faggot minister of transportation had the brilliant comeback for the toxic spill in Pennsylvania. He said, “but trains derail all over the country all the time.”
For that ridiculous defense of his dereliction of responsibility, he ought to be impeached, then put before a firing squad.
Stalin was very complacent. He expected that Britain would flip to supporting Germany against Moscow, after all that’s what he’d have done in Churchill’s position. He was always very worried about English mercurial flip flops on continental alliances. After all Chamberlain’s establishment Conservatives had supported Hitler in remilitarising the Rhineland, Anschluss in Austria, Annexing the Sudetenland, and turned a blind eye to Germany occupying Prague. The British had also backed Finland in the winter war.
The alliances we now take for granted in hindsight were fluid.
You make a good point, and I’ll add: rightly so. Russia should not sit and allow itself to be encircled by US/“nato” bases, missiles, troops, and biological-warfare labs, while the US deposes any leader who won’t let his country be a staging area for surrounding and undermining Russia.
Until and unless the US and its vassals stop calling for the destruction and breakup of Russia and pull their troops and missiles away from Russia’s borders, Russia will deliver an increasingly forceful and widespread response. That’s what we would do in the same situation.
Why are Americans such crazy, war-mongering psychopaths? Are they mentally ill from all the drugs put in the water supply, or does it come from birth?
And I don’t mean just the leaders, but also the population. The other day there was some politician talking about ending the war against Russia to concentrate on making war against China, and some Boobus Americanus asked, “why not both?”
More like predictions that Odessa or Kiev would fall anytime now.
Bakhmut is progressively getting surrounded. The Russians are on high ground behind it.
Right on, my astute sir. I’ll just quibble: why limit the critique of US government aggression and viciousness to the past sixty years?
Neither WW1 nor WW2 was a defensive war. Nor was US interference in those conflicts, thousands of miles from our borders, justified by legitimate retaliation or preemption of an imminent attack.
(we’ll wait for the government-school fucktards to chime in with “oh yeah, what about Pearl Harbor??” because they were conveniently never taught about what the US did to Japan right before that. Would the US stand by as a foreign power tried to starve its people of the energy and other resources needed for a modern civilized life, as the US did to Japan with its stringent “embargo”? See https://mises.org/library/how-us-economic-warfare-provoked-japans-attack-pearl-harbor.
In our entire history, the people never had the opportunity to vote directly on the US making non-defensive war. Let’s change that sixty years to at least one hundred seventy years.
Yes I do agree with you. But it is the idiotic legal system.
I do know the solution, but why should I help.
Supported how? Militarily?
In your quote from the congressional research brief “threaten vital U.S. interests” you nail it. Those are the interests of the elite thieves stealing from americans. They report it out loud. The only problem with your article is that it will not reach enough enslaved propagandized brainwashed americans who are unable to critically think.
Thanks for saying what many of us see, I’ll do my part and share it.
Your self-descriptive sobriquet is a perfect marvel. Granted, I should have put those words in quotation marks. Goes to prove that nobody is perfect.
Pax Sinica would be as bad as Pax Americana. The only hope for the brighter future of the world lies in multi-polarity, with no bandits single-handedly setting and changing rules to suit themselves and bullying everyone with impunity.
“America’s clearly articulated strategic objectives are as follows: To weaken Russia, topple its leader, take control of its vast natural resources and move on to containing China.” If the Neo Cons still actually believe this, this shows they are INSANE. Maybe the Zio/Neo Cons always have been insane. A rational person would look at 21 years of total failure in Afghanistan and would at least consider the possibility they have been WRONG all along. Not the Zio/Neo Cons. This is a testament to the level of insulation the Zio Neo Cons of the Deep State live in. The Warmongers in D.C. run everyone out of town who disagree with them. The Deep State has the entire American MSM as their mouthpieces–ZERO criticism of the US War Machine is NOT allowed or tolerated. The USA is the biggest Debtor Nation in the World. They are in no position to play World Hegemon!! Not anymore. But despite this Reality, the Zio/Neo Cons have no choice but to Wage War. The ”Exceptional Nation” knows–at some level–their “World Hegemony” is enforced by the barrel of a gun. And since War is profitable, the Warmongering continues. It must be understood; the people driving all this warmongering care ONLY about PROFIT. The Zionists of course serve–at ALL times–the Interests of Israel. And so we have a war “to the last Ukrainian” in Ukraine. Millions of deaths from War has no influence with these folks.

True, China has its own weird ways. One should also consider the insanity of the U$$A, where newborn baby boys are deprived of their little man-hoods by evil doctors. Removing the most nerve-ending rich element in the male anatomy is not only a denial of elementary human rights. It is also a sin against Creator, as mutilated men tend towards deep-seated neuroses.
What is it with you and “faggots”? Are you circumcised or something?
99% of the people are just not interested. Take Seymore Hresh’s revelation and multiply it by 100K , it’s still a minuscule minority. There’s a very narrow band of demographics that has the means, the leisure and understanding of geopolitics that will react.
To most, the world is going its’ usual way.
Strictly speaking, I am not a “bitch” yet. My official gender transition operation is scheduled for 1/1/2024. If you don’t take my word for it, ask Dr. Doom or call him at 6-666-6666 or get in touch with his assistant NotSoFast. Until then, feel free to choose from the following sets of my preferred pronouns:

Set 2: ze/hir/hirs/hirself
set 3: ze/zir/zirs/zirself.
You forgot bad diet. Anon 121 used to be one of the biggest lunáticos on here until he was banned, now he’s toned it down. He must have changed his diet from MickeyDs, he probably eats a few strawberries now and again. We can call him a Semi-Psycho now.
“–and we know their (Jew) god is satan–a murderer and liar from the beginning.”
Who needs ‘satan’ when you have Yahweh? Now THERE is a real murderer and liar from the beginning. Besides, the ‘satan’ of the NT was invented(reinvented) out of whole cloth that’s full of holes. In the OT, he worked with this Yahweh demon. In the NT, he became the enemy of Yahweh and his boy Heebus Jeebus.
It’s their “entertainment” that they use to indoctrinate their kids with. Just look at what passes as “entertainment for kids” i.e. their comics, published in USA by Marvel, DC and Image. It’s all about “fighting the bad guy”, always. That’s how they view reality. You MUST fight to resolve ANY problem you have. It’s ALWAYS BIG BURLY MUSCLED MEN WITH HUGE WEAPONS(cuz they have tiny dicks) fighting each other. And the kids swallow it all and grow up thinking this is reality.
It’s a well known fact Hollywood has worked with the CIA for decades, producing propaganda movies, and now Marvel has been making their :”superpower heroes” movies for the past 20 years, pushing the same line. Notice how in their movies, they have the right to go anywhere in the world and attack and kill anyone who they view as a threat. THey allowed military bases to be used, as long s the movie presented US military in a positive light.
I presented that view on Getcomics discord and was laughed at, and painted as a “conspiracy nut”. They can’t see anything, expect “bad guys” everywhere they MUST fight. 20 years ago it was Muslems. 30 years ago was Communists. 100 years ago was red savages. Now it’s Russians and Chinese. SHit never changes in USA
Huh, and I was told it was The Creator Himself who wanted boys’ penises mutilated. The Babble itself told me so.
There is one thing Jews cannot be blamed for and that is the wasteful lifestyle of US society.
And that contributed far more to coming demise of US than Jewish chicanery.
The ZUS empire is up against a real military force in Russia, Russia is not Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Yugoslavia, etc., etc., this is Russia, the army that defeated the nazis in WWII and is defeating the zionist/nazis in the Ukraine, this Russia , a military force that is winning, and the zionist/nazis are losing, case closed.
God bless Putin and the Russian people for standing for Christians everywhere against the satanic zionist communist nazis.
Why no mention of Jew hostility for Caucasian Christian Russia in this article? The Jew-owned media practically drips with Jew venom for Russia from every page of every Jew-owned newspaper and magazine — which is all of them.
South America, Latin America, Asia, and Africa have a choice to make. Do they want their future to be guided by a government that builds stuff, or a government that blows stuff up?
We send those regions billions of dollars annually.
Sub-Saharan Africa gets most of it:
https://www.concernusa.org/story/foreign-aid-by-country/
It was actually GWB that massively increased aid to Africa.
I wish the US was the selfish jerk you seem to imagine. The US spends billions annually trying to create Wakanda in Africa. The Arab world also gets a huge chunk.
We have massive debt, homeless in tent cities and yet both parties sign off on sending billions around the world.
‘Continue your economics learning friend. The US is a monetary sovereign — which means it can never go broke in its own dollar.’ – animalogic
One can say the same thing about, say, Venezuela: monetarily sovereign and able to service its bolivar-based debt by simply printing more.
Trouble is, Venezuela like all other countries has external obligations and participates in international trade, requiring hard currency. But printing all those bolivars made the currency’s external value collapse. Essential imports stopped. Some 20% of the population fled.
MMT is an infantile form of magical thinking. You could continue your own economic learning by listening to Mark G, who could teach you a thing or two, once you unlearn academic ‘monetary sovereign’ theories that don’t apply in the real world.
Eventually, Russia will rebuild a 4 lane Hiway connecting Mariupol with Crimea , just like they built a 4 lane from Simferopol to the new Bridge and from the bridge to Anapa { some – still under construction}. They haven’t lost this much blood in order to just let NovoRossiya sit and do nothing. I think the Ukrainians will wake up long before the Americano’s will, and things will get better. We will see.
Oh ffs you knew what he meant.
I agree with you on that awful torture of baby boys. Also, I would suggest that circ’ed men can’t have normal sex. They think they are having a good time but they are not. They have to go through all kinds of mental effort and unnatural stimulation and they are happy when they are finished up and can go to sleep. In a more sensible world, circumcisers as well as parents who do not repent would be sentenced to 10 years (at least) of hard labor with bread and water only.
Torture of animals for “food” (dogs & cats) is not merely some “weird” cultural practice. Surely you can see that. And the factory farms here are maybe only slightly better if at all.
Damn the chinks and everyone else who supports this. Thanks for listening. 🙂

Recall a book “Russia at War” by Alexander Werth.

As communism and leftism fell from power and grace, homos took over and turned the Left into ‘gay’ fest.
As Christianity lost prestige and meaning, homos took over and turned the church into one big ‘gay’ party.
See a pattern?
It’s like homos going into dilapidated urban neighborhoods and gentrifying them. One might say the homos gentrified Leftism and Christianity into boutique shows with faddish appeal to soul-hollow metro hipster types.
Exactly how are we going to have a war with China when we are economically dependent on them?
“The American people want their government to cooperate with other nations in order to create a more prosperous and peaceful world. They don’t want a new world order and they certainly don’t want a Third World War.”

RESPONSE: Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and DESERVE to get it good and hard. – H. L. Mencken
LAWD HAVE MERCY.
It is a matter of Ashkenazi evolutionary advancement and ethnic honor that they defeat Russia. It comes down to this – hundreds of millions of Ashkenazi ancestors in the After-Life are looking at their descendants on Earth in their physical form, and expecting them to defeat Russia at all cost, even if it means wiping out all life on Earth in a nuclear war. The Ashkenazim will honor G-d in the After-Life and enter Heaven, while the radioactive Gentiles will just cease to exist, for they are nothing more than animals. Putin agrees that Russians are just animals – every week, he gives a speech to Russia in which he states that Russians are a people that have no collective cultural, religious, or ethnic identity. In other words, Russians are just animals, a bunch of mindless goy to be used by the Ashkenazim for sex and labor. Thus, Russians are so genetically primitive that a nuclear war is not even needed. The Ashkenazim can defeat Russia via genetic attrition of the Russian Slavs. Continue the war for the next fifty years in Ukraine where the Russian Slavs will slowly be all killed off. The Ashkenazim possess billions of Gentiles to use as cannon fodder against the Russian Slavs. Keep the war going at a steady pace, and the Russian Slavs will collapse and go extinct. All Gentiles are on the path to extinction, and the Earth will be repopulated by the Haredi/Hasidic Ashkenazim.

Finish Airforce was substantially based around British machines.
30 Gloster Gladiator II biplane fighters from the United Kingdom
12 Bristol Blenheim IV bombers from the United Kingdom
24 Gloster Gauntlet trainers from South Africa
12 Hawker Hurricane I fighters from the United Kingdom
12 Westland Lysander reconnaissance planes from United Kingdom
15 Bristol Bulldog IVs, which had entered service in 1935
then there are the American machines…
44 Brewster 239 fighters from the United States
Teh French even ponied up excellent stuff…
30 Morane-Saulnier M.S.406 fighters from France
Of course there were German and Italian machines but the mix of machines must have made Stalin pause for thought about what the British and Americans were really up to vis Germany.
Some sources put AH at about 5′ 8″. The current average male height in US is around 5′ 9″.
So that hardly makes him a ‘small man’ by Current Year standards and maybe average or better by mid-century standards.
Churchill and Stalin were significantly shorter than AH it would seem. Churchill came from a privileged background so we can hardly invoke childhood poverty in his case.
Wonderful Presentation. Thanks
Instead of playing Majong for several days straight, you should head down to the Library. There is a section there labelled “World History”. You may find the reading mind expanding.
To help you out here are a few facts:
1. Mao killed around 70 million of his own people through starvation, persecution, slave labour and outright murder.
2. China supported Pot Pol who slaughtered 1.7M of his own Cambodians.When Vietnam invaded Cambodia and put an end to this, China invaded Vietnam (an old enemy/ ally) and were bloodied in a few months of war.
3. China invaded Tibet did it not ? Also people claim China has never invaded/ provoked other countries as the USA has. Really ?
https://www.philstar.com/opinion/2019/05/02/1914194/history-chinese-invasions
4. Stalin killed how many ?
5. In Africa how many lives did the Rwanda massacre claim ? Around 500 to 600 thousand and in just 100 days ! With mostly machetes and farm tools
Contrary to the usual propaganda, Americans are amateurs in this business. To date, it looks like Mao holds the record………………..and against his own people to boot. Its one thing to have a bomb fall on your head and be blown to bits in an instant. Its another to work 16 hours a day, listen to 2 hours of Communist re-education and propaganda and be fed a handful of rice. It takes about 2-3 months before starvation finishes a fellow. Add to that the beatings, additional arrests of family and friends and finally the bullet to the head. Which, in your opinion is more brutal.
You must be dumb, arrogant or naive to believe and promulgate such an erroneous assertion !
Funny that in your “judgment” the US has turned to war when the US isn’t fighting it. Methinks you’ve lost a few marbles somewhere.
Thank you, but these wars were still condemned by the League of Nations, and as a result the Soviet Union was expelled from that body on December 14, as you know. Finland’s dependence on foreign equipment and ammunition was therefore fully justified.
Badass Finland in action lol
So they gonna continue to blow up their slavic brethren arent they?
Wrong, it all boils down to money as the root problem in the US. There may be a group that is over-represented in that sector. You’re just engaging in a little “shame the victim” here. Funny, that same group often disguises their grift by shaming their victims.
“all of the recent government-prepared documents related to national security identify Russia and China as the greatest threats to US hegemony.”
Wow, yeah, huh huhh (wiping forehead), I’m sure glad they’re not targeting us “white supremacists domestic terrorists” I was worried I’d have to do hard time for saying I’m going to piss on Nancy Pelosi’s tombstone when she’s six feet under.
What!!!, you say we’re still the greatest “domestic” threats to US hegemony???
Schitt, White peepooz just can’t get a break today in western civilization, everybody wants more of what little we got left.
It’s time we get off our armchair asses and go gangsta on these Alien shape shifting predators.
Hi Mike!
You said it, “The American people want their government to cooperate with other nations in order to create a more prosperous and peaceful world. They don’t want a new world order and they certainly don’t want a Third World War.“ Well said, aptly vocalised! Domiciled here in the heart of Europe, this writer shares the same view. Most Europeans want Peace and not war and death. Look at all the protests going on in major European cities. Let me paraphrase the Indian P.M that this is not only not an era of war, but also a time of intense Cooperation, in view of the gigantic Global issues we face as human beings as a whole. Open Confrontation based on myopic unipolar power and right in a Nuclear Age begets only the opposite – demise of human civilization.
Elsewhere in a private communication, I wrote recently that Zionist Biden
administration seems a mentally sick bunch of humans suffering severely under a
Collective Malignant Narcissism. As clinical psychologists will educate us, narcissists of all variants are highly self-destructive people, destroying not only themselves but the whole world around them. That’s what seems happening now. Senility at the wheels of power breeds disharmony, blindness to reality and hence destruction, this time of biological life on Earth. America seems to need a totally new leadership to sanitize itself and the world.

The problem is that Russia concentrated entirely on nuclear weapons.
Russia never considered the option that antichrists will use this option of proxy war. This only happened when stupid Ukrainian voted a Jew for president. Probably the elections were fixed like in US
But there is no worry. The old WW2 factories behind Urals are ramping up production.
Christianity – the greatest system of mind control ever created. Responsible for the mass murder of hundreds of millions of black and brown-skinned people.
From the book, The Rise And Fall Of The Sikh Empire:
The Deceit Of Christian Missionaries
In the Sikh Punjab, the Christian missionaries have realized that the Sikh turban
constitutes a serious obstacle to the conversion of Sikhs to Christianity. Suppose that I
want to become a Christian. I have to cut off my long locks, take off my turban, remove
the iron kara (protector of the sword arm) and finally renounce Singh as my name. And
since the name was given by The Lord Of The Falcons, it means that I have to renounce
my father. All of this is a bridge too far for many Sikhs.
The missionaries realize this and thus advise Sikhs that they can become Christians and
still keep their hair and turbans. This is a deliberate attempt to poison the well of Sikhi.
It is a testament to the impotence of Sikhs that white paedophile devils preaching about an illiterate god who came through the vagina of a prostitute (as recorded in the Jewish
Talmud) and who ended up writing a book full of magic in the sixteenth century; have the utter audacity to attack Sikhi in the land of the Sikhs.
The Democrat party is the greatest threat to the USA.
Glory to the USA.
Glory to Ukraine.
Glory to Israel and the Jewish people world wide.
The curse of christian pagan polytheist mangods-worship is unravelling in slow-motion. That does not mean that the whitevil race is on the path to salvation. If not for that curse, it is the curse of utter godlessness, or the godlessness of Gnosticism, and other such pagan garbage.
Your kind has always been spiritually screwed. The unabashed exultation comes at a steep price.
The enemies of God plan, and God plans, and God is the best Planner!

Some theists apparently believe in a fallible God, omniscient and omnipotent but not so good at designing genitalia.
.
Sure there is, Mr. Whitney.
It is also BRI: Bomb and Regime-change Initiative.
Boy, when it comes to common sense reasoning, you suck balls. I’m willing to match wits with you and argue back at you. So let’s do battle of the wits.
1) Communism was created only 100 years ago (1917) as a way for the peasant class of society to kick out the ruling class (the capitalist class)
2) European capitalism started 500 years ago with the Portuguese sailing around Africa, through India and all the way to China to trade with the Chinese
3) The Portuguese major rival the Spaniards then hired an Italian named Christopher Columbus to sail West in search of a shorter route to China for trade
4) The rest is history, with the great age of exploration and colonization and conquest of the world (500 years of capitalism and wars through GUNS and BULLETS and GERMS).
5) From all of this gave rise to the great Western European breakthrough of the 16th century that gave rise to the modern world (Scientific Revolution) followed by the Industrial Revolution 200 year later
6) So how many warfare and people died due to the Europeans the past 500 years culminating in the two WW1 and WW2? I reckon a whole lot more than what Mao did in China, that’s for sure.
7) Most of China’s internal revolution / civil war and 70 million dead are due to famine and disease. Not through a bullet through the head or execution. China didn’t start industrializing until 30 years ago. Prior to that, it was still a mostly peasant society.
8) For most of human history, you have high birth rate, high death rate, and short life span. Most people have 10 kids, but 8 out of 10 will die before they reach adult hood. Hence, the planet never had more than 1.5 Billion people for the entirety of human history.
9) With the introduction of Western medicine, that changed and now you end up with high birth rate, low death rate and longer life expectancy.
10) Well, now you have a lot more mouths to feed and the human population exploded exponentially. How are you supposed to feed all of these extra mouths without industrialization? You don’t. You end up with massive famine all over the country.
11) The US, with 350 million people only have less than 2% of the population working in the farming industry, but with superior advanced technology and industrialization, can feed almost half the planet of 4 Billion people. Imagine without industrialization and modern technology, and you and the rest of the 350 million people have to become peasant farmers and grow your own food and vegetable. I’ll bet there will be great famine in the US with millions of dead people within a year, followed by violent civil war across the continent. Because millions of Americans will fail miserably in growing their own food and vegetables and will simply starve to death, or go to war and steal from their neighbors.
Biden and Neocons may have blown up the Nord Stream pipeline, but guess what the Russian did? Sank the Titanic, he bloody did.
You don’t go far enough.
It is the long infiltration/subversion of Zio+CCCP in the 20th century, and the CCP for the past 1/3 century that has made the US govt and culture so insane and stupid. Witness the incredible CCP infiltration and influence pre-Trump.
This Ukraine war favors CCP China several ways, weakening US, Europe and Russia. Chiana can pretend to be the peacemaker while scarfing up Russian commodities and markets now and in the near future. Long term China will want to assimilate western Russia.
Of course the Zio threads of the US govt are in conflict with the CCP threads. Pretend president Biden is still CCP influenced even if he has to pretend tough with China.
If Biden pushes war with China, that means he’s being pushed and paid to lose by the CCP threads while being pushed to be nasty by the Ziocorp. Who knows, maybe Joe will continue collect some 10% action from both sides, or maybe one of them will cashier him.
As for this supposed CCP – BRI vision of world peace and trade, I don’t buy it.
In the ASEAN waters the CCP is a pure criminal, ditto the CCP global rape of the oceans and others EEZs.
The rail part is interesting but the CCP maritime expansion is all about hegemony and global rape far beyond the evils of Zio and CCP infested USG and the US military-industrial-medical-banking complex. An AI driven CCP social control makes nuclear war less unthinkable and less undesirable.
Either way sending assets like Aircraft is a strategic posture. It’s a sign of contemplating further action.
Sorry but I disagree on Current burst………
This will be followed strikes.
Harland & Wolff, in Belfast and White Star Lines had Jewish owners/major share holders though.
The conspiracy theories surrounding the switcheroo of Olympic and Titanic to collect insurance would involve them.
One thing you do have to say though, the Jewish billionaires on the ship behaved like Gentlemen going down with the ship. Guggenheim for example.
So I’d say it was an error with life boat capacity by the ship architect.
2008 is completely different than 2023. You sound like the old fogies who say “Back in my day…”
Wow, you sound like you really know what you are talking about! I hope you are running a think tank or consultancy and making money off of your sure knowledge instead of only giving UNZ readers the benefits of your apparent knowledge..
Ummm , intelligent weapons like smaller cheaper drones are likely to plague Russian logistics.
I do agree that the artillery grinding action MacGregor talks about can be important but the winter weather didn’t cooperate for a big offensive to consolidate the Russian territory needed out Crimea and create the needed buffer zones. Also those old type artillery shells need the Gerald Bull type guns for longer, cheap ammo engagements and more standoff.
There is no moral significance to wearing a turban or not, you backwards mystic fool. Nor to your stupid hairstyle. It’s a hairstyle, that’s all.
But if it makes you feel better, the rituals and “essential” “sacred” vestments and symbols of the other religions are equally pointless, unnecessary, and designed to foster a sense of belonging and of exclusion of (and superiority over) “non-believers.”
You’re as frightening and irrational a bunch of babblers as I ever thought. It’s just that I’m now old enough to realize that the religion I was taught consisted largely of silly or vicious nonsense as well.
You wear that magic turban proudly, big guy. You demanded the right to your own native brand of stupid and incoherent, and you fought for it.
Did you like the video?!! Are you that robotic that you can’t relax for a moment? Jeez … man
Shopping has never been so sensual.
Excuse me now. I need a few minutes, to myself.
That will be good for the future of Ukraine, once they take back Crimea. I look forward to many dead Russian bodies.

Zelensky on Crimea’s recapture: We are preparing for this
24.02.2023 20:59
The Ukrainian leadership is preparing to bring Crimea back, and it is necessary to work towards this.
The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during the press conference ‘February. The Year of Invincibility’, answering the question about the possibility of recapturing Crimea as soon as this year, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

Very well said. But whether we fall into the Hell of a Chinese-controlled world or not, China likely will be economically very important to dominant. Our kids will continue becoming fluent in Mandarin.
Actually america might quit first so Joe can suck US into a war with China and help lose it.
CCP’s best chance may be while Biden is president.
“Bakhmut is progressively getting surrounded.”
This may actually be true now, but I’ve been hearing about it since July.
July/Aug/Sept I followed the battle (as best I could) quite closely, but after 3 months Russia had actually been driven back up Patrice Lumumba Street, where at one time they’d been nearly at the champagne manufactory.
In June when I first looked at Bakhmut webcams the city was pretty much intact and you could just hear occasional distant gunfire. Now it’s pretty wrecked. I hope the old people who were waiting for the Russians are OK.
A great article, it didnt once mention “Freedom”…

“Putin doesn’t even realize how pathetic he looks in the eyes of the world community”
This comment coming from someone who supports the Washington DC mafia foreign policy is what is pathetic. Putin knows more about American history than the doofuss currently occupying the White House. You know the guy … he wasn’t very bright in his prime and now he’s running at about 60% of that. You and jojo need to wake up and smell the coffee. Your unipolar world is in decline, and like it or not, you are going to have to deal with Xi, Putin and Modi as equals. On the plus side for you is that it will become a better world.
Neither WW1 nor WW2 was a defensive war. Nor was US interference in those conflicts, thousands of miles from our borders, justified by legitimate retaliation or preemption of an imminent attack.
(we’ll wait for the government-school fucktards to chime in with “oh yeah, what about Pearl Harbor??” because they were conveniently never taught about what the US did to Japan right before that.
So it wasn’t a defensive war even though both Japan and Germany declared war on the US?
Would the US stand by as a foreign power tried to starve its people of the energy and other resources needed for a modern civilized life, as the US did to Japan with its stringent “embargo”?
Japan was not trying to live a civilized life. They were trying to take over all of Asia.
They were extremely brutal to the Chinese. The Rape of Nanjing contained unspeakable horrors.
Japan was never forced to attack Pearl Harbor. It was a stupid plan even if the goal was to pressure the Americans.
There was another option which was to attack the Soviet Union with Hitler and split the oil of the Caucasus. The Japanese discussed that option and instead chose to attack the United States. A stupid move brought upon by Japanese naval arrogance. Interestingly a lot of that arrogance came from defeating the Russian fleet in the Battle of Tsushima. Another case of a Tsar underestimating the enemy.
It seems US Army Generals are thinking the same thing, saying M-1 Abrams will arrive NEXT YEAR, maybe.
You mean these tanks?
“united almost all Ukrainians”
My guess is that meamjojo is not aware of what you pointed out. Ukrainian men age 18 to 60 are being held captive in their own country. They are not free to leave. If they were, the Ukraine army would collapse in a month. Jojo also is probably not aware that Ukraine has a law on the books permitting army commanders to shoot to kill deserters from their “volunteer” army. No need for court martials in Ukraine. They would be too time consuming.
I have other bad news for him. Ukraine is not a democracy. The Zelinsky government is much closer to the North Korean government than any western government. But somehow Zelinsky is going to turn this completely effed up country into another Israel.
there’s a painting of a vertically-challenged Napoleon during the “Hundred Days” – after he escaped from Elba. A half-circle of his revived Marshals and Generals are kneeling before him in awe – even on their knees most of them are taller than the Corsican Midget. You might be right about Adolf, tho I suspect that – like Stalin – he put crumpled paper in his shoes.
The zionists control the weather via chemtrails and HAARP, those white trails in the skies are chemtrails and they hit these trails with HAARP micro waves which heats the nano metals which are contained in the chemtrails and heat the atmosphere and thereby move storm fronts and create tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, droughts, warm weather, cold weather , what ever they want, even earthquakes as recently in Turkey.

Enjoy the Balalaika.
I am for it like yesterday. Just tell Putin to get the hell out of Ukraine. Simple as that.
Are you suggesting that you are THE ONLY smart guy/girl around here? Every moron with an iPhone or even a dial-up connection knows who the real president of this God blessed USA is: Obama & Cons, the biggest warmongers ever.
Everyone in Russia who has any connection to politics, media and even military has already acknowledged that this war is lost, but you die-hards just won’t quit. it’s Greek to me.
The Japanese had been cornered into oil sanctions by Roosevelt, that meant they were three-six months from running out of the good stuff. The battleships need not have been docked in Hawaii. Seattle, Sydney or LA would have done just fine. The Battleships were being dangled as bait to see if the japs would snap.
Why did your ancestors have to kill 1.5 million German, Italian and Romanian prisoners of war? Until you Russians answer this question and acknowledge your war crimes, there will be no peace, no forgiveness.
I do suspect that Russia has given to Ukraine at time of divorse.
Recently, the director of a children’s media center approached me with a request to use my jokes in her classes. Meanwhile, a group of kids volunteered to make a video with their own soundtrack out of the jokes.
Kids are our future, comrades, so let’s take our trolling seriously! Yay, comrades!
Addendum All cannons.
Perhaps, you are one of the millions of Americans who believe that China is an enemy of the United States. Perhaps, you are also unaware of the role the US played in creating modern China. Here’s a question for you: Did the US and western corporations move their operations en masse to China to escape the high costs of production in the US?
I say:
Nixon and the JEW/WASP Ruling Class of the American Empire sold out the United States of America in 1972 when Nixon went to China to prepare for the final de-industrialization of the USA.
Nixon was a sneaky Ohio Quaker Boy who worked for the JEW/WASP Ruling Class of the American Empire and Nixon went off the partial gold standard in 1971 and then Nixon went like a total globalizer politician whore to China in 1972 to pave the way for the Chinese Communist Party and the JEW/WASP Ruling Class of the American Empire to use massive cheap China labor to clam rake lots of loot out of the globalized labor arbitrage play.
Cheap labor goods had been flooding into the USA in the 1950s and 1960s, but Sneaky Ohio Quaker Nixon really accelerated things by going total globalizer financialization by going off the partial gold standard and by giving the green light to China to prepare for massive financialization labor arbitrage play.
Green light brings up Maurice Greenberg, the Jew globalizer financializer former lead banker of AIG, Tri-Lateral Committee member(or is it the Gill to Fryar to Krenk lateral Nebraska bounce pass commission?) — either way, sneaky like Nixon is Greenberg — and Greenberg may not be a Ohio Boy like Nixon and Mr. Coe, but this Greenberg guy is AIG and China cheap labor arbitrage all the way.
The evil and treasonous JEW/WASP Ruling Class of the American Empire bailed out AIG so AIG could bail out Goldman Sachs and the last shreds of moral hazard were killed off by Greenberg’s corrupt and vile AIG.
Nixon was an evil and treasonous and immoral bastard who sold us out for some cheap Chinese labor and some shekels from the JEW/WASP Ruling Class.
Tweet from 2015:
TROLL ALERT
I envy your bravery relying on videos as sources of information about what’s happening in Ukraine. Are you sure this video is new, showing Abrams tanks on their way to Ukraine? Or is this perhaps old video showing earlier transportation of tanks and military gear to NATO bases in eastern Europe.
I checked few videos in the beginning of this conflict and realized I would have to spend considerable time and effort just to make educated guess what I was really looking at and in many cases I could never figure out if the clip was authentic or not. As far as I know, doctoring videos is easy and doesn’t cost much these days. Just using old footage from earlier conflicts or military exercises with different soundtrack or text can do the trick. Not to mention more advanced methods.
It wouldn’t surprise me if we have many ‘factories’ producing fake videos and spamming the web 24/7 disguised as something else.
The Japanese had been cornered into oil sanctions by Roosevelt, that meant they were three-six months from running out of the good stuff.
Well if you launch a war of aggression and rape your way across China you might make new enemies. They were also cruel to European citizens that were scattered around Asian colonies. Raping White women in the Dutch Indies isn’t going to grant you good terms with Americans or Europeans.
Japan was never forced to attack Pearl Harbor. It was a terrible plan since it not only required to attack to be successful but it was predicated on the US backing off and ending sanctions.
Japan had other options including:
1. Open an Eastern front on the USSR and split Soviet oil with Germany
2. Get out of China
3. Continue negotiating
They decided to gamble it all on a single attack. Well that completely backfired as it angered the US and drew them into the war. A stupid and needlessly risky plan that failed.
The battleships need not have been docked in Hawaii. Seattle, Sydney or LA would have done just fine. The Battleships were being dangled as bait to see if the japs would snap.
You are saying the battleships were only at Pearl Harbor as bait? Hawaii has no utility as a naval base? Well it was a naval base for Pacific ships before Japan launched their war of aggression. So there goes another “blame the US” bullshit theory. Germany and Japan gambled big in WW2 and they lost. Der Hitler took the risk of a second front and Japan started a war with the US. They lost and the US never forced them to take those risks. Empires of the past were completely destroyed for taking risks and making enemies with ruling powers. You can go walk around the ruins of Carthage. Nothing of that empire remains.
Thank you.
One advise.
Try to brush up your sense of humor.
I envy your bravery relying on videos as sources of information about what’s happening in Ukraine. Are you sure this video is new, showing Abrams tanks on their way to Ukraine? Or is this perhaps old video showing earlier transportation of tanks and military gear to NATO bases in eastern Europe.
I don’t rely on a single type of source. I read from multiple sources and watch videos from about a dozen channels.
The video shows a huge number of tanks and striker vehicles on a ship. There are also a lot of random support vehicles. I see no reason to assume it was some type of previous purchase. I don’t see NATO allies buying all that equipment at once.
The port certainly looks like Europe. It has European looking vehicles. In one shot there is a European looking building in the background. Maybe someone in Germany can tell us if they recognize it.
I’m fine with discussing these videos. Unlike Macgregor/Ritter fans I don’t freak out over skepticism.
It wouldn’t surprise me if we have many ‘factories’ producing fake videos and spamming the web 24/7 disguised as something else.
Some of the most revealing videos have been cell phone videos from troops. I see no reason to assume that they are all from a factory when you can find plenty of cell phone videos from Russians that show Ukrainians being killed. Both sides post them to telegram. When I post a video from youtube it can have a MSM label but it is usually a repost from telegram.
The US is providing money, weapons, munitions, training, intelligence, advice and God knows what else to Ukraine. This makes the US an accessory to Ukraine’s war. You don’t have to pull the trigger to be a party to this war.

That would be an excellent trade.
In addition to seizing the assets of these depraved monsters, they must be removed from society, and their evil ideology unmasked for the whole world to see and reject. The unimaginably vast suffering they have caused equals the unimaginably vast loot they have stolen.
Truly deranged Sinophobic racism, replete with psychopathic lying. After a job at FoxNews are you, troll?
Good question. Of course, the tank crews will only be able to sell those tanks which Zelensky’s inner gang have not already sold. And what will Blinken, Nuland, & Sullivan say when one lone Abrams shows up on the battlefield?
The ruling psychopaths in the USA, their psychopathic Overlords in Israel and the psychopathic stooges in the Five Eyes and EU, DON’T CARE. God says that they are the Chosen People, and the Chinese are merely ‘slopes’. End of argument. If the going gets tough, God is on our side.
The SZCN! Has a ring about it. You’ve covered all bases there.
“flashing lights, moving pictures…” And the advertising industry which fueled it. Totally hypnotized population paid money for this. It won’t see anything any other way.
Having helped open the first McDonald’s and toured the first Nike factories in southern China in the early 1990s, I can say with confidence this article overstates the role western companies played in creating modern China. The fastest years of economic growth occurred during the Mao years, and western firms were relative latecomers that followed investment by other Asian economies in the 1980s. Furthermore China was the target of a technological blockade for most of the time the article states that China’s economy was created by western multinationals. While it’s true that western multinationals transferred production to China during this time period, Chinese industrial output was already growing (and at a faster rate due to the lower base) long before this. Don’t forget that the USA off shored a lot of work to other countries as well, especially Mexico. The USA’s trade deficit is also a result of running persistent budget deficits to keep the peace in a multiracial powder keg – a situation that was inherited from the founders of the USA. I fear Americans will soon learn how much peace the China trade bought the USA. It is undoubtedly true that Chimerica has created too many social problems in both countries, but there is a reason Xi said “China first” before Donald ran on “America first”
Germany down…whose energy supplies are next? (you’ll notice Repub Sen. Rick Scott’s Freudian slip where he started to say “the Keyst…) I think it’s time to ask, who is really giving the orders here in this Ukraine situation? Who is really dictating all the $billions$ of American taxpayer money that has provably been being siphoned off and kicked back to people other than Ukraine? How many of these corrupt empty suits in this video are bought paid for or otherwise compromised?

I do so totally agree with everything in this essay. I just have 2 points to add:
1. Most large US (And other) Corporate decisions are now made on the basis of tax. Offshoring jobs to China not only created better gross margings but also allowed the profits to be kept offshore using intra-Company transfer pricing to get the profits into a tax haven jurisdiction and defer or evade US taxes.
2. The other aspect to US (and European, mostly UK) pillage of commodity producers has been, since the mid-1970’s, through the use of paper Futures “markets”. In this system, commodities are priced not on physical supply and demand but on paper Futures derivatives. If there is a supply squeeze and prices start to rise, large amounts of nakede (unbacked by anything) paper “short” contracts are printed to create an imaginary supply, thus holding prices down. This essentially negates the basic law of supply and demand. The US then pays for those under-priced commodities with “green paper” (Dollars), which as the world reserve currency, it can print almost indefinitely – until it causes massive inflation (sound familiar?). This system has given the Anglo-American world an enormous and unfair advantage over commodity producing countries. And of course, the US has not been content to leave it there – it has also “weaponised” the Dollar and used it for sanctions against countries that do not “respect the Rules-Based Order” (a/k/a what the US wants)
(Note: All Inter-Bank cross-border USD transactions must “clear” through a US correspondent Bank in New York)
Hey mulga, how many of those cute little Chinese STEM coeds have you personally witnessed in the US over the last 30-40 years ?
Probably none if you’re in Oz or China…
Deng did the “China first” program.
Xi is trying to cram “China Uber alles” down our throats.
You are absolutely 100% correct. The role of US corporations to build up China is overstated. Overseas Chinese from Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan along with the Japanese already started investing in China and transferring manufacturing and technology to China long before the US got involved. But the US, due to evident supremacy, always will skim over this fact and state the US is the one that build up China. How arrogant of them to do so, but the US is the exceptional country so they make their own reality as they see fit.
But you are totally wrong about the US trade deficits. Read up on Michael Hudson who explains everything, as well as the Greek economist Yanis. I’ll paste Michael Hudson’s explanation here. Michael Hudson is probably the best economist of the past 50+ years and he was pretty much the first economist to point this out.
This is what the Phd Economist Michael Hudson states:
Imagine that you could go to the store to buy groceries, eat out in restaurants, pay your rent, and buy automobiles and furniture simply by writing IOUs to the sellers. People cannot do this in practice, because nobody would accept their IOUs for long— unless they had legal recourse to seize the income and property of whomever has signed the promissory note, as banks do when they make loan agreements. But what if the grocery store or other businesses just accepted your IOU, and indeed paid their suppliers partly with it, circulating it like real money? That is the kind of free monetary ride that the United States enjoys in its foreign relations. Most of the excess dollars that its military and civilian economy spend abroad end up in foreign central banks. Foreign exporters receiving these dollars exchange them at their central banks for their own domestic currency to conduct their business. The central banks have no real recourse other than to recycle these dollars by purchasing U.S. Treasury IOUs. They are not permitted to use their dollar inflows to buy the commanding heights of the U.S. economy. OPEC countries, for instance, have been told that they can use their surplus dollars to buy into the U.S. stock market as junior partners, but not to buy any real control over vital U.S. assets. China likewise is blocked from buying important information technology companies. Every empire in history has drawn money and resources into itself from its dependencies. This power always has been backed by military force, and most of the tribute has been spent on this military force. America’s 750 foreign military bases around the world are in this tradition, requiring foreign financing, while its domestic military-industrial complex is the major drain on the domestic Treasury budget. What sustains this military power is U.S. control of the international financial system, giving it a free ride and enabling it to spend over $ 1 trillion annually to field military operations that would collapse the exchange rate of any other nation, and which indeed drove the dollar off gold in 1971. Despite its widening balance-of-payments deficit beginning with the Korean War in 1950 and accelerating with its subsequent military spending on the Vietnam War, U.S. diplomacy has been able to retain its financial domination over the world economy— no longer by its power as the world’s major creditor, but as its largest debtor. The dollars that the U.S. Government and private investors spend abroad to pay for America’s military and economic encirclement of the world pile up as monetary reserves in foreign central banks, whether countries want these dollars or not, and despite rising concern about the U.S. military adventurism that these dollar outflows finance.
Michael Hudson. The Destiny of Civilization
I disagree.
The only time America appeared to have ideas, ideals, and vision was between 1945 and the early 1970s when they had no competition due to having destroyed it all by carpet bombing Japan and Germany.
“first with flashing lights, moving pictures that are chopped up so as to inter[r]upt concentration and any meaningful thought on important subjects…just distractions and freak shows.”
What you say is true.
It’s enlightening to look into a darkened room in which a TV is on and watch the play of lights on the wall. Not to look at the screen, but at the wall it faces. There’s a strobe effect that’s alarming. Old movies and TV weren’t like that. I can’t watch modern TV programming.
Actually no it’s not. It’s not about defending “hegemony,” plundering “resources,” preserving the “petrodollar” or anything of the kind. It’s much more fundamental than that. The conflict in Ukraine is a kinetic manifestation of a spiritual war between Satanic evil and imperfect good. Satanic evil cannot coexist with any significantly lesser evil; thus anything or anyone that cannot be corrupted and manipulated must be destroyed by other means.
I’ve often heard really intelligent Americans talk about how wrong or evil the US or NATO is for waging wars in the Middle East or Africa or Ukraine. And then they go off talking about how much of a threat China is.
There’s no hope for America. The entire country lacks the ability to analyze how democracy and capitalism have only succeeded for a short while by exploitation and war, and how both are ultimately responsible for the collapse of Western societies.
Yeah, it’s WW III and this time you’re the Nazis. Ready to get your cities firebombed? It only takes one bomb now! Remember how the poor sad German conscripts got starved to death in camps and got their nuts squashed? Remember how their women got raped to shit? That’ll be you.
If you’re not with the CIA Paperclip Nazis you have a brief opportunity to prove it.
Ha ha ha! I’m collecting comments and pen names like yours so I can rub your noses in all that you got wrong when you are proven (as always) wrong.
lithium, billions worth of lithium, as in ‘EV batteries’ lithium, remember musk, his company makes those cars. He has his hand in ukraine too. Big money on the line. Hege-something LOL

Oh come on. My teenage son could produce a more intelligent comment than “youre being paid by Putin”. Please I thought most people on UNZ were adults.
No, those are newer US Army tanks. If you bothered to read the link I provided, it was the Secretary of the Army who said Abrams tanks cannot be provided to Ukraine until next year. The US Army has maintained hundreds of Abrams tanks in Poland for years to threaten Russia in violation of the Founding Act. It could send them across the border to Ukraine in a few days, but will not.
The Army says it will pull out old mothballed tanks from storage in the USA and rebuild them to send to Ukraine. Then if they fail in Ukraine, Army Generals will state those were outdated Abrams, but the newer ones are much better, and Generals don’t want to lose them in a pointless war.
Excellent article here!

‘Russia ends nowhere,’ they say
Sociologist Grigory Yudin discusses a year of war and what comes next
February 25, 2023
Interview by Margarita Liutova. Abridged translation by Emily Laskin.
Sociologist Grigory Yudin was one of just a few Russian experts who believed in February 2022 that a military clash between Russia and Ukraine was inevitable. In an article published just two days before the invasion, Yudin predicted that a major war loomed in the near future, that Russians would follow the Kremlin in blaming the West, and that sanctions would do nothing to stop Putin — all of which came true. In February 2023, Meduza special correspondent Margarita Liutova spoke to Yudin about why Putin needs a “forever war,” and what might ensure the emergence of a broad anti-war movement in Russia.
There’s a widespread view about contemporary Russian politics that says war is an endless process for Putin, and Putin himself seemed to confirm the idea in his recent Federal Assembly address: He said nothing about how Russia will win and what will happen after that.

An old man who is an old fool. Serving a foreign parasite that hates his posterity and his people, all because he is a coward and a vacuous moron. Hey, pal: your jew idols declared war on you and white men like you, and you prostrate yourself before them. See those wunnerful schools that keep young white men out? Who runs them? See those law firms and professional institutions that hire as if to say, “white males can go to the back of the line”? Who runs them? Those wondrous jews you fellate have given your people political correctness, cultural marxism, institutional misandry, magical negroes who can rape and kill with virtual impunity, hate crime legislation that allows you to be attacked, but forbids any tough questioning of the sayanim, and outsourced your son’s/grandson’s jobs to Asia. Same tribe that wants Murican borders open, but israel’s tightly shut, is the tribe you worship – even as they replace whites with anti-white non-whites. And you sit there like an eunuch and praise your masters for destroying white America. Please take another booster.
The U.S. Coast Guard has just announced that this year it will triple its deployments to the western Pacific. The cutter Stone has just arrived in Montevideo, Uruguay. There’s global hegemony in action, you say; what the heck is the “coast” guard doing in those places? But wait. The USCG has just announced a joint partnership with the Space Force. What the heck is the Coast Guard doing in space?
The Titanic didn’t sink. And it didn’t hit any iceberg, either. The ship that sank – after being deliberately holed – was the Olympic, Titanic’s earlier-built sister ship. It was an insurance scam.
Learn some facts, not lies, mister.
Gold if he has any sense.
Maybe the russians shouldn’t have illegally invaded their neighbors and try to steal their land if they didn’t want their impotent military get smashed by a bunch of military surplus from NATO. And it’s quite clear DC’s hegemony is superior to russia having a say in anything after this last year lol
Mike Shitney loves countries that imprison thousands of their citizens for speech, where people don’t have indoor plumbing due to corruption and that have labor camps having a say. Lmao.
Except NATO isn’t waging a war in Ukraine, russia illegally invaded Ukraine to try to steal their land. It’s hilarious seeing people who cry about Israel’s land grabs defend this. Lol
You’re shittin’ me, right ? You’re handing out some industrial strength sarcasm, right ??
Is this the same Marxist/Maoist Michael Hudson that writes those tedious long winded articles that Ron Unz posts here (even though next to no one actually reads them) ?
Is this the same Michael Hudson that believes in a fiat currency system (he despises a Sound Money Gold Standard because it won’t benefit his Zionist benefactors), and that is a staunch advocate of the failed experiments of MMT and Keynesianism ?
Is that the same Trotskyist Michael Hudson (by his own admission, Hudson acknowledges his worship of Lev Bronstein), that I would regularly eviscerate (prior to 6 months ago), as I regularly exposed the countless fallacies of his arguments ?
So, being intellectually bankrupt and unable to make his case by force of argument in a public forum, Hudson (thin-skinned and petulant little child that he is), started sulking about how I was embarrassing him and then banned me (and some others) from commenting in his articles.
You see, only obsequious yes-men and women are allowed to post comment in his articles.
Dissent is not tolerated by Hudson.
Because, in the authoritarian Big Government Statist society that Hudson envisages, only a select Politburo of hardline Marxists like himself will be making all the decisions. (ie: what you eat, what car you drive – it’ll be an E.V, assuming you’re even allowed to have a car, what your carbon footprint will be, what experimental mRNA toxic vaccines will be injected into your veins and how often you’ll be getting them).
That’s because, in his opinion, the proles are too stupid to know what’s good for them.
Michael Hudson is economically illiterate. All the good economists of the last 50 + years have been disciples of the Austrian School – the same school of thought that Dr Ron Paul subscribes to and has accurately predicted the financial crises well in advance.
Michael Hudson is the antithesis of a good economist. Michael Hudson is just a useful idiot of the Zionist Usury Banking Cartel in that his proposed remedies for society’s ills will only further enrich the small hats whilst impoverishing and enslaving the goyim.
Considering your pseudonym is ‘MeanJooJoo’, and the copious quantities of demonstrably fallacious commentary you’ve posted in UR over a long period of time, it’s hardly appropriate that you should be criticising anyone.
You know, like the saying goes, it’s a case of ‘The Nose calling the kettle black’.
The odds are not stacked in your favor. And Zelensky , if he lives will have the last laugh on the Goy Boyz in the West who funded him. But he will retire with Poroshankster, Yats our Guy, Коломойский and the rest of the Zionist freaks.
Only the US and their terrorist allies could pull a trigger on Crimea, and Russia is aware of who is capable and the Ukies aren’t one of them. Ya, they can get a few drones/ rockets past the goalies here but Crimea is the size of Vermont/New Hampshire – not Rhode Island.
I was 58 then and my surveyor was 72 and could out work your pathetic ass all day. Russians like old men on the job – they have much to teach – unlike in the US where the most experienced men that can still work – are put out to pasture. There is No Future in the US as long as your Zionist buddies run it. The future is in the East.
“ It’s not too late for Germany, France, and Italy to see the light but I think they are going to elect to go down with the US ship.”
The last European leader to have dared challenge the U.S. diktats was President Charles de Gaulle. He was eventually booted out of power by a colour revolution that started out of the Sorbonne by some disgruntled students about room rents and played for fools by the German-French Jew agitator Daniel Cohn Bendit ( Bandit would me more appropriate). From there on the Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher and Francois Mitterrand put some mild resistance against Ronald Reagan’s attempt to prevent Soviet gas from entering Western Europe. The last European stand against the American hegemon came from Chirac and Schroeder when both refused to join the Second Gulf War. And that was the end of the European leaders’ stand for Europe with a puppet show that has become so predictable that it got utterly boring.
Unless the Germans reach out to Russia and revive the Bismarckian policy of putting good terms with Russia above any other consideration, Europe is doomed indeed.
Wonderful and funny satire with informative, lucid and coherent logic.
Thank you for a great comment.
A very informative article.
No, those are newer US Army tanks. If you bothered to read the link I provided, it was the Secretary of the Army who said Abrams tanks cannot be provided to Ukraine until next year.
I read the link and it doesn’t explain the video. The video shows an Abrams coming off a ship in what appears to be Europe.
What tank would it be if it isn’t an Abrams?

This must be John Johnson’s rules based alter ego. The “Russian Plumbing Gap” keeps getting mentioned in all your posts like he used to before being called out. This has been debunked several times. The Russians living in villages and above have indoor plumbing and sewerage plants. Isolated houses use septic tanks, much like the US in rural areas, or in trailer parks. There are still significant populations of nomads who live in such remote areas in tundra or deserts in such structures as yurts and tents they don’t really have need of a centralized Sewerage system let alone indoor plumbing. lol.
The US is a cardboard tiger, maybe a thick plastic one on a good day. Not exactly paper since it does have advanced weapons, but it lacks an effective ground force capable of holding territory against a peer (or even a not so close peer). It has 0 chance of preventing China/Russia from becoming Eurasian hegemons. It may have a 50/50 chance of putting it off for a while, but at a great cost that will hasten the GAE’s own destruction.
Russia and China are a legitimate threat to the US gov’t. The US gov’t is also a legitimate threat to Americans.
Your reply to me simply states that I’m wrong, but no answer to specific comments I made. So I’ll repeat them and hope you will address them one by one. My 3 statements were:
1. Ukrainian men age 18 to 60 are being held captive in their own country, and if these men were free to leave Ukraine the Ukraine army would collapse in a month.
2. Ukraine government has a law on its books that permit Army commanders to shoot to kill deserters. Ukraine army doesn’t want to deal with a normal procedure which would be a Court’s Marshall. Too time consuming (and too visible) for Ukraine.
3. Ukraine is not a democracy. Its government is closer to the North Korean government than any western government model.
I hope you respond as to whether or not these statements are accurate, and additionally, if a government that operates in this manner should be supported by Western world democracies.
The West has been very open about the goal of defeating, dismembering and controlling Russia. But China isn’t about to let that happen and it’s surprising that the neocons in charge haven’t realized this. It is in China’s best interest to continue trading with an intact Russian state for its rich natural resources, and Russia’s collapse into smaller statelets would send those resources to the West. Therefore it is in China’s best interest to back Russia in the Ukraine.
For twenty years, the official policies of the US government have had the unintended consequence of pushing Russia and China together, such that Sino-Russian cooperation became a logical option and in fact a matter of survival for both countries. History has shown over and over that when a hegemon emerges, other nations unite and bring it down. That’s what’s happening now.
It is the height of hubris to think that the US can take on both Russia and China at the same time but the US government is being run by extremely stupid people, and that’s where we’re at. It’s all going to be a major fail. Sit back, grab the popcorn and wait for it.
Thanks Mike for another outstanding article. You must be doing something right. Nobody brings out the troll like you. Keep up the good work.
Idiot: Russia mounted his SMO because the Ukies, numbering many tens of thousands facing the Donbass republics had mounted a tremendous artillery and rocket barrage on Donetsk City and other sites, prior to a massive genocidal land invasion of the ethnically Russian provinces.
If you would kindly throw a brick into your boobtoob it is possible that you might eventually regain control over your own mind.
” It is the height of hubris to think that the US can take on both Russia and China at the same time”
Hopefully the average American citizen living outside of DC will inform the people inside the DC bubble that it would be mind boggling stupid to attempt that. A simple reminder is that China alone has 1.4 billion people, that Russia has 145 million, both of them have large capable armies, and both of those countries could more easily than us find military age men to conduct the war.
But yet there seems to be no restraint coming from our side. Its just the old don’t you dare cross this or that red line and if you (China) do the consequences will be severe. Lindsey Graham has twice called for the assassination of Putin. We blew up gas pipelines that belonged collectively to an enemy and a friend. We sent $100 plus billions of dollars to “defend democracy in Ukraine” even though the rest of the world knows that Zelinsky is a dictator.
Please, will someone with some influence in the United Nations, NATO, or some DC think tank come out and be brave enough to say that we placed our bet on a nag, that Ukraine cannot win the war, that to double down against China/Russia would be national suicide, and that we should do as we always do: declare victory and move on.
Its the Democrat party doing this to us. Yes most Jews are Democrats. If you cant argue intelligently, you can always call names. I mostly agree with what you say. But again, its the Democrats. I absolutely do not prostate myself to anyone.
What the US Coast Guard (found in the Persian Gulf, harbored in Bahrain, UAE), is the same thing that a guy who has a piece of raw liver in his pants, held by his hand and making oscillating motions that are suspiciously similar to bestiality.
NATO cannot engage and win with any country except a Third World Tribal. This is explained in depth, detail, and consistently by MacGregor, Ritter, and many other ex-intelligence officers, covert services, and this convincing and credible fellow:
I was involved, employed by Military Sealift Command, the Maritime Administration to keep several ships in readiness to deliver cargo, materiel, and other necessities of war. I was also an engineering officer on a fresh water tanker pre-postitioned in Diego Garcia.
See this grey ship, a Bob Hope Class Roll on-Roll Off massive parking lot. In fact it was a formidable piece of shit, a total disgrace and emblematic of the Armed Forces of Amurka and the way business is done. I was Chief and First Engineer on this and other specimens of whale shit that the US Govt used to transport everything to the Middle East. That capability is gone, the ships and mariners have all decamped.
For this, and a dozen other reasons, there is NO NATO nothing of a threat to anybody. The Jew SA cannot project power for more than a few days. Understand this from an insider, me: the Ukie War is over. The West lost. Past tense. Ukraine will disappear.
The Darwin Award goes to Ukrainian men who tolerated, bent over, and have no shame, did not protect their women, and are street urchin, mentally imbecilic street urchins. A disgrace to “White” People, the Indo-European. Genetically inferior.
Brilliant thinking of Mike Whitney!
Mike Whitney is the best describer of realities around us in the UNZ Review.
I would say, Mike Whitney has the unparallel ability to think intricate details.
Like the Poles wouldn’t march on, occupy and burn down the Kremlin itself if they had the force.
There’s NATO from the 1980s designed around blunting a Warsaw Pact attack into the Fulda Gap, and there’s NATO of the last 20 years that is increasingly becoming the vehicle for “The Intermarium” Project, which is basically a revival of the Polish-Lithuanian Empire and Pale.

There is some evidence of internal desertion, just go to the front or near it, but avoid fighting. Would be interesting to know if any elements of the Ukie forces have been deliberately grenaded by their own drones.
This must be John Johnson’s rules based alter ego. The “Russian Plumbing Gap” keeps getting mentioned in all your posts like he used to before being called out. This has been debunked several times.
It was never debunked.
You consider having an outhouse to be acceptable within your definition of indoor plumbing.
The first world does not.
If someone were to buy a house in the US they would not consider it to have indoor plumbing if it didn’t have a modern toilet connected to a septic tank or sewer. They would laugh if you took them to an outhouse. An outhouse is not only unsanitary but unsafe for children. They also explode on occasion from built up sewer gasses. Ivan lights a cigarette and boom it goes.
Russia is the outhouse empire. I’ll post the article again and let the readers decide:
https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2019/04/02/indoor-plumbing-still-a-pipe-dream-for-20-of-russian-households-reports-say-a65049
There are still significant populations of nomads who live in such remote areas in tundra or deserts in such structures as yurts and tents they don’t really have need of a centralized Sewerage system let alone indoor plumbing. lol.
Instead of building a 1.3 billion dollar mansion Putin could have built a lot of septic tanks.
Even the most remote cabin rentals in the US normally have a toilet. They have a well for water and an independent septic tank. It really isn’t hard to build one. In fact it is easy compared to a well. Centralized sewage systems are for dense areas.
You don’t know this. It is your personal opinion, basically composed from hearsay and supposition. Everything I read and see including the NPR story I recently posted about how the mayors of 3 Russian speaking Ukrainian cities have now embraced Ukrainian nationalism takes the opposite point of view.
Perhaps they do. Or not. Show us a copy of the law in English. There will always be people who don’t want to fight. As in the USA, some will run to other countries like Canada. Russia has hundreds of thousands who have bailed to other countries rather than fight against Ukraine. I’m sure Ukraine would have similar people. Sometimes, people need to get kicked in the ass. I have no problem with shooting deserters when a countries future is at stake.
Ukraine is attempting to turn itself into a valid democracy. Making a statement that Ukraine is like NK, shows just how dumb you really are and deserves no further response than this.
Not sure pushing Russia and China closer together was unintended. Putting women in charge (for example Madeleine Albright drawing the borders of NATO’s eastern border) means you have people running the show who are generally bigger fans of foreign invasion than the XY chromosome set
The American empire is in a state decline, its collapse is now inevitable. It has taken its expansionist/interventionist policies too far and is being crushed under the weight of perpetual overextension (financially, militarily, bureaucratically, etc.) in order to preserve some vestige of its waning power and influence. War (whether through direct involvement or via proxy) cannot save a crumbling empire but will only hasten its demise regardless of the outcome; but perhaps war too is now just as inevitable as it seems to be the pre-determined course of events that must ensue when an empire reaches the end of its lifespan. Should we even bother to learn the lessons of history to avoid its mistakes or are we forever condemned to repeat them due to an inherent blindness of thought members of the human species seem to possess by believing “it will never happen to me.”
@Decoy informed you that:
Your reply was:
For your information Ukraine has prohibited Ukrainian men age 18 to 60 from leaving Ukraine. From Business Insider on August 3, 2022 ( https://www.businessinsider.com/ukrainian-rules-keeping-men-in-country-undermine-war-against-russia-2022-8 ):
It is also quite likely that Ukraine would have a more serious problem finding bodies for its army if men in this 18 to 60 age group could leave. Over 7 million Ukrainians fled Ukraine when the first shots were fired in February 2022. This number would probably be closer to 14 million if Ukrainian men could vote with their feet.
As it is Ukraine is now sending out press gangs to round up unwilling Ukrainian men to feed to the war’s meat grinder.
In short, jojo, you are, as usual, wrong.
“Putting women in charge means that you have people running the show who are generally bigger fans of foreign invasion than the XY chromosome set”
I will say that I’m beyond surprised that so many women leaders in the EU and European governments are so hawkish on war. The foreign minister of Germany (Baerbock ?) is a good example. In her first important political position she very quickly turned from a fringe greenie to a crazy, no restraints warmonger. Because it harms Russia it’s suddenly okay with her for Germany to burn coal rather than use Russian gas. I’ve heard nary a word from her (or Habeck) about the horrendous ecological event that transpired as a result of the US blowing up the two gas pipelines. For Baerbock suddenly climate change is a very distant 2nd priority of her political agenda.
And certainly your mention of Albright is appropriate. As a reminder to readers, it was Albright who, when questioned whether or not the invasion of Iraq was worth the death of up to a half million Iraqi children, responded with a quick and casual. “Yes, I think it was”.
Germany is only country to which is Russia supplying coal.
Childless crones always love the idea of committing your children their wars.
This is actually a myth — its origins are well-known and it’s very easy to debunk, but it provides for a good propaganda story, so you see it repeated all the time, by you and your sock puppet.
The source of this claim is this article:
Indoor Plumbing Still a Pipe Dream for 20% of Russian Households, Reports Say – The Moscow Times
More than one-fifth of Russian households do not have access to indoor plumbing, according to official statistics obtained by the RBC news website on Tuesday.
https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2019/04/02/indoor-plumbing-still-a-pipe-dream-for-20-of-russian-households-reports-say-a65049
If you read past the headline though, you’ll quickly realize that it is misleading. The author confuses indoor plumbing with centralized sewage:
Of the 22.6 percent of households without a centralized sewage system, 16.8 percent use a system of pipes connected to pit toilets, RBC cited the State Statistics Service, Rosstat, as saying. The other 5.8 percent lack a sewage system altogether.
So, it’s not 22.6% without indoor plumbing, but 22.6% without centralized sewage, and only 5.8% without indoor plumbing.
There’s more though:
In rural Russia, almost two-thirds have no access to indoor toilets, 48.1 percent of whom use outhouses and 18.4 percent do not have a sewage system.
It doesn’t take a genius to realize that something is wrong here: an outhouse is by definition not connected to sewerage. And indeed, they’re quoting this RBC article and that’s not what it says. Here’s the relevant text in Russian:
Централизованная канализация отсутствует у 66,5% россиян, проживающих в сельской местности. В том числе 48,1% семей в селах пользуются выгребными ямами, а 18,4% не имеют канализации вообще.
English translation:
66.5% of Russians living in rural areas do not have a centralized sewerage system. This includes 48.1% of rural families using cesspools and 18.4% with no sewerage at all.
Cesspools most certainly fall under “indoor toilet” category and the only difference for the end user is that they need to call a honeywagon from time to time.
Thanks to this mistranslation, 48.1% using cesspools turned into 48.1% using outhouses, 66.5% without centralized sewerage turned into 66.5% without indoor toilets, and then the phrase “in rural Russia” somehow got lost, so we have people unironically thinking that 2/3 of Russians have no indoor toilets. I don’t expect this myth to subside, though: the dumber you are, the less likely are you to admit being wrong, and the average Internet user is only slightly more intelligent than an earwig.
Conveniently left out was my reference to external factors – “Of course, should the world lose FAITH in the
US $ then … well, we’ll be in novel territory.”
Same goes for Venezuela.
The same anti-mmt trick gets played over & over.
MMT is not a licence to PRINT & PRINT.
One can only print within the (real) productive capacity of a nation. Germany 1933 – 1939 is a reasonable example.
(Imagine comparing the US to Venezuela ?? Good god. One of those countries has been under never ending sanctions & coup attempts….. Even had their state gold stolen by the UK)
You have absolutely no proof of the US doing any such thing. If you keep repeating a false statement, it will not be true.
I rather recall that Albright, a monster, simply replied ‘Yes’ to the interviewer’s question, ‘Was it worth it?’, itself an abomination. The political She-male Stepford feminazis promoted under Western liberal fascism simply HAVE to ape their male colleagues, and be at least somewhat physically attractive. Intelligence and morality are surplus to requirements. The debasing of women is yet another sign of the West’s terminal spiritual disease.
Of course. As my mad Uncle Martin, explained, the Jews sank Titanic. ‘But it was an iceberg’ I objected. ‘Iceberg, Goldberg-what’s the difference?’ he spluttered.
Lithium in batteries will soon be displaced by newer, better technologies. Stranded assets coming up.
There is one simple response to the article: there is no showdown in Ukraine. There is Ukraine and there is Russia.
At the end of the day, at this point, the NATO seems to be unwilling to risk putting her mission on the line. Laugh. All the chitter chatter about defending Ukraine — well just chitty chatter.
Just in: Putin calls Klaus Schwab:
Putin: Comrade Schwab, let me tell you that in the last 24 hours two terrorists have broken through my border near my bunker in Mytishchi and escaped. What should I do, Comrade Schwab?
Schwab: The best answer to extremists is to build a better world.
Putin: Excuse me, Comrade Schwab, I don’t understand, please explain!
Schwab: What’s not to understand, Putin, you can fill the hole with the corpses of your luckless mercenaries, verdammt noch mal!

Napoleon Bonaparte was rather tall for his day and age.
The FRENCH foot of the era is 12.789 English Inches.
5 feet 6 inches by the FRENCH scale of the time equates to about 5 foot 11 inch on the ENGLISH measuring scale
“Schwab’ is a Serbian colloquial name for Germans. The official Serbian name for Germany and Germans is Nemachka and Nemci. ‘Schwab’ is not a derogatory term and is analogous to the name Yanks for Americans or Poms for Poms.
It comes from the name of the German province of Schwaben. The name of the province came from the Serbian tribe – Suebi. For that tribe, many mistakenly think, just like about the Vandals (Wends) and Goths, that they were German tribes.
Ho-Ho-Ho Hoppy Easter!
In rural Russia, almost two-thirds have no access to indoor toilets, 48.1 percent of whom use outhouses and 18.4 percent do not have a sewage system.
It doesn’t take a genius to realize that something is wrong here: an outhouse is by definition not connected to sewerage.
An outhouse by definition does not contain parameters for a sewage system.
It is an outbuilding with a toilet:
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/outhouse
In the first world an outhouse is normally connected to a sewer system or septic tank if it isn’t a portable. That is the law in first world countries. You can’t just fill a random hole with sh-t even if it is on your property. It has to go into a septic system or a container that is drained.
So, it’s not 22.6% without indoor plumbing, but 22.6% without centralized sewage, and only 5.8% without indoor plumbing.
Well we disagree on the definition of indoor plumbing.
Here in America a house would not be considered to have indoor plumbing if the only toilet is an outhouse.
You consider the author’s definition to be unfair and I think it is accurate.
So let the readers decide.
Really nice question.
Guessing that we, Ukrainians and our will to protect our borders, are not a subject but object of `proxy` war and praising ethnogenocidal states as China and Russia tells a lot about communististic audience here with `antimonopolar` political outlook, but actually extremelly one-dimensional way of thinking.
$jit on you and your stoopid notions. My homestead goes with wood heat, wood cookstove and a running outhouse. No running water…just a short walking pump…thus my water is NOT fluoridated . No boobtoob either, so unlike you, my mind is not beclouded with M$M propaganda.
That evil $jithead may be part Schwabian on his father’s side. It mixes badly with the Khazarian Talmudist gene pool on the maternal element. One can tell he’s badly blended just by looking at his turkey-neck and coonhound droop to his facial muscles.
I hate to rain on your parade here, but Maxim Shevchenko, one of Russia’s leading journalists and experts, has laid out the truth about what Putin is fighting for in Ukraine.
(translated transcript):
Five nuclear power plants in Ukraine, each worth hundreds of billions of dollars, are assets worth fighting over. While the war is being fought over Ukraine, it is not over Orthodoxy, and it is not over whose legacy is better – Lenin or Ivan Ilyin. This talk, as they say, is for rabbits. This war is being fought for Ukraine’s nuclear power industry, Europe’s largest uranium deposit near Yellow Waters, Motor Sich, Yuzhmash and Krivorozhstal, which belong to the ArcelorMittal group. Not a single bomb or missile has fallen on Krivorozhstal, although the entire Ukrainian army is being repaired there, while AzovStal, owned by the reprehensible Rinat Akhmetov (oligarch), has been reduced to crushed rock.
Needless say, I knew that from the first day lol.
This could probably fit nicely somewhere in between too

$jit on you and your stoopid notions. My homestead goes with wood heat, wood cookstove and a running outhouse. No running water…just a short walking pump…thus my water is NOT fluoridated .
Are you actually bragging about not having running water or an indoor toilet in your homestead? You do realize that you can be off grid with a solar pump?
thus my water is NOT fluoridated
So you are a combination of Ted Kaczynski and this guy:
Boy Putin attracts some real quality defenders.
Steve Seagal, Roger Waters, Tucker Carlson, and a guy in a shack that is worried about the corruption of his precious bodily fluids through fluoride.
Fluoride has precisely nothing to do with “precious bodily fluids”. To be exact, the fluoride molecules are able to not only breach the blood-brain barrier, but move in on the pineal gland, which is the only gland in the human body which has a crystalline structure.
Without the clouding which the unwanted chemical substance develops via interface with those crystals, the pineal gland’s crystalline structure may be equated with one of those old-time crystal radio sets. They are a means of communication, currently little studied by researchers. Some contend that they are related to connectivity with higher levels of consciousness.
Needless to say, J.J., any higher levels of consciousness are not part of your immediate horizon…a conclusion which is sadly reached by reading some of your postings. To read all of your gurgitations, could result in considerable levels of dimunition in overall consciousness.
As for a hand-operated water pump, what the hell are you gonna do when the electricity is no longer available? Is that imminent? Perhaps not. Is it somewhat possible in the not too distant future if the U$$A continues to poke Mama Bear and the Red Dragon? Betcha your bottom dollar, should an EMP take out the power grid.

The Canadian Jewish community has been very accommodating to the Canadian Banderites. The Canadian Jewish Community admires Chrystya Freeland, the progeny of a prominent Nazi collaborator Chomyak and an open Banderite herself. https://canadianpatriot.org/2022/05/13/canada-and-the-banderites/
Freeland caught holding pro-Nazi banner at Ukraine protest: https://tnc.news/2022/02/28/freeland-caught-holding-pro-nazi-banner-at-ukraine-protest/
“Christina Alexandra Freeland is a Canadian politician serving as the tenth and current deputy prime minister of Canada since 2019 and the minister of finance since 2020.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrystia_Freeland
Chrystia Freeland has been the most ardent supporter of self-proclaimed Ukrainian Nazis, and the Canadian Jewish Community has been fine with that. For decades, Canada has been enjoying Nazi Parades and monuments to Nazi collaborators, but the pious B’nai B’rith International in Canada never made a peep. B’nai B’rith Canada has been OK with the celebration of Nazism in Canada, and, especially with Mrs. Freeeland’s rabid Russophobia of a committed neo-Nazi.
Where have you been, Jewish Community of Canada, when the Canadian government was sending hundreds of millions of dollars to the Ukrainian Banderites? https://www.canada.ca/en/global-affairs/news/2022/02/canada-sending-additional-25m-military-aid-to-support-ukraine.html

Canadian Jews spit on the memory of victims of WWII.
Mr. Kolomojsky, the president of the Jewish Community of Ukraine, defined himself as Judeo-Nazi. To protect his properties in Donbass, Mr. Kolomojsky founded and funded four (4) Nazi battalions. Currently, the Nazi formations in the Ukrainian army have Jewish Fuehrer Zelensky as their supreme commander. The illegal putsch in Kiev in 2014 was run by an American Jew Nuland-Kagan in collaboration with members of the Ukrainian Nazi Party. Parubij, the founder of the Ukrainian Nazi Party, was a commandant of the Nuland-Kagan Zionist-Nazi putsch. And this is how American Judeo-Nazis (and their Banderite friends) initiated WWIII in Ukraine.
Stepan Bandera is a hero of the current Zionist-Nazi junta in Kiev. https://justice4poland.com/2016/09/30/unthinkable-atrocities-of-banderites-which-the-polish-will-never-forget-18/
Guess Stepan Bandera is a hero of B’nai B’rith as well:
They are a means of communication, currently little studied by researchers. Some contend that they are related to connectivity with higher levels of consciousness.
Well cite your best study then. Fluoride is a natural mineral that has been studied since WW2. Most of the debates involve the effects on children.
As for a hand-operated water pump, what the hell are you gonna do when the electricity is no longer available? Is that imminent?
I pointed out that you can run an off-grid water pump with a solar panel.
That is old news. You seem to think the only option is African style. Do you walk to the cabin with a bucket on your head?
You can also setup a water pump to have a backup method. It’s amusing that you homestead but don’t know any of this. Maybe read more about homesteading and less about fluoride altering your consciousness and other wackjob theories.
Does he even know about the action of the Russian Volunteer Corps in Bryansk region?
https://ukranews.com/en/news/918869-russian-volunteer-corps-insists-that-they-agreed-with-ukraine-on-operation-in-bryansk-oblast-corps
As you can see, the war in Ukraine is a proxy war and this war is being prolonged. Where are we heading? In the Book of Daniel we read: “And both these kings [Great Britain and Russia. (In 1882 British troops occupied Egypt. Great Britain then took the role of “the king of the south”. Around the same time, Russia expanded its influence in the region, which previously belonged to Seleucus I Nicator, and took the role of “the king of the north”)], their hearts (will be) to do mischief, and at one table (they) will speak a lie; but (they) will not succeed [neither of them will be victorious over the other before the appointed time]. Indeed yet (the) completion to (the) appointed time.” (Daniel 11:27) And this indicates that here we have a long jump from antiquity to nineteenth/twentieth century, to the period immediately before “the Lord’s Day”. (Revelation 1:10)
And what was supposed to happen in this period of time (before “the Lord’s Day”)? “And [the king of the north] will go back (to) his land with great wealth [1945. This detail indicated that after the previous victories Hitler will attack the Soviet Union and will fight to the bitter end]; and his heart (will be) against the holy covenant [Soviet Union introduced state atheism]; and will act; and go back to his own land [1991-1993. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. The troops from the Soviet military bases returned to their country].” (Daniel 11:28)
What will happen at the beginning of “the Lord’s Day”? “At the appointed time [the king of the north] will return back [and this means military actions. Russian garrisons will return to where they were previously stationed. And this applies not only to Ukraine. Not only the eurozone will break up, but also the European Union and NATO. Many countries of the former Eastern block will return to a military alliance with Russia], and come into the south [this will be the beginning of the nuclear war. The detonator will be ethnic conflict (Matthew 24:7)], but won’t be as before, and as later [during earlier and later proxy wars], then the dwellers of distant coastlands of Kittim [the distant West (US)] will come against him, and (he) will break down [mentally], and will go back.” (Daniel 11:29, 30a) This will be a mutual slaughter. This time it will be a world war not only by name. Peace will be taken from the earth and the sword of great power will be used. (Revelation 6:4) Jesus characterized it in this way: “a frightening things both and extraordinary (related to unusual phenomena) from sky powerful will be.” For this reason, there will be significant tremors along the length and breadth of the regions [of strategic importance] and famines, and pestilences. Some ancient manuscripts contain the words “and frosts”. The Aramaic Peshitta: “and will be great frosts”. (Luke 21:11) We call this today “nuclear winter”. In Mark 13:8 there are also words of Jesus: “and disorders” (lack of public order). The Aramaic Peshitta: “and confusion” (on the state of public order). This extremely detailed sign fits only one war. It won’t be Armageddon. “All these are only the beginning of the labor pains.” (Matthew 24:8, New Catholic Bible) This also is just the beginning of the “Day of the Lord” – of the time of God’s judgment. (Revelation 1:10)
Look at this rubbish propaganda: Russians are retaking Bakhmut in brutal hand to hand fighting using shovels as they’re out of ammo, and without artillery support as they’re out of shells.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64855760
And look at this:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2023/03/03/west-must-prepare-imminent-collapse-putins-regime/
They’re really stepping up the lies. Something must be going badly wrong for the West.
The report is from a single assault where conscripts were armed with firearms and shovels. So they might have been short a few rifles for the platoon.
So what is the truth? It never happened? Sure let’s ignore it.
That would mean Russia has the larger force and it only took them 7 months to take a city of 75,000 with no shovels involved.
That’s real impressive.
As for wackjob theories, you have obviously swallowed the blue pill and have wallowed into noxious normalcy.

Now go quote me a Bible verse. Maybe the one where Elijah uses animal spirit power to have two bears rip apart 42 kids for calling him bald. (2 Kings 2)
Fascist psychopaths, when backed into a corner, turn very nassty, hysterical and deluded. Just check out the latest vomitus for Top Level Wizz, a pluperfect example of bunyip fascism.
Judaism and Nazism are simulacra. Judaism is the older by far, but the Nazis imitated Judaism with their Herrenvolk version of the Chosen People, and intense xenophobic hatred of others. Just look at how typically Nazi the likes of Bibi and his regime of religious fanatic wannabe genocidists are. It is only to be expected that Zionazis and Nazis could get on well, as they did in Germany under the Haavara Agreement.
Is that your father-or mother?
I am sorry. But to think that the Belt and Road initiative is just a benign effort to help the world by friendly totalitarian Communists you are living on another planet. Oh, but I guess you will like being monitored digitally in an Atheistic world or their own creation, which IS their key mission. No, they are as much our enemy as our own megalomaniacal Fascist leaders. Its all evil.
Agree. The hapless Ukrainian Banderites (self-proclaimed Nazis) took the same xenophobic path: no wonder Straussians and Banderites united in Ukraine. The profitable holobiz meme “nazi& hitler” suddenly has become irrelevant for the Jews-dominated US State Department. The joy of genociding Russians and Ukrainians has overwhelmed the neo-tamudists like Nuland, Kagans, Yellen, Sullivan, Schumer, Schiff, Haines, and such.
Here is some interesting info (needs checking, though) about Bidens’ incentives for the ongoing genocide in Ukraine:
“2. Ukraine government has a law on its books that permit Army commanders to shoot to kill deserters. Ukraine army doesn’t want to deal with a normal procedure which would be a Court’s Marshall. Too time consuming (and too visible) for Ukraine.”
We’re supposed to believe someone who doesn’t know the difference between “martial” and “marshall”?
