The only way to explain this "slow motion war" is to realize that Amerika and Russia are working TOGETHER behind the scenes to drag this thing out in order to kill as many people as possible, particularly military age young men...

It doesn't really matter, whether Moscow has a plan or not in Ukraine. Klaus and his friends have one.

Thanks, I read the linked article, very interesting. Glazyev's book "Genocide: Russia and the New World Order" was an eye opener for me. I wonder how he will fare with his battle against the Russian central bank.

No clear plan = forever war = big bucks for the defense/national security establishments on both "sides". That's what appears to be playing out here. If NATO were to supply adequate hardware - evincing a clear plan to defeat Russia - the conflict would soon be over. On the Russian side, the Wagner Group has been eviscerated in an effort to win roughly ten square kilometers of territory - and that was Russia's most effective force. In firing General Surovikin, Russia got rid of the general and staff most likely to win the conflict for Russia. So what Russia has is a badly led, largely untrained, and poorly equipped army fighting a battle-hardened army with superior weaponry - but what Russia has is millions of citizens to sacrifice. The point of this may not be land conquest, but depopulation - and the latter is a key goal of the WEF, which both Putin, Zelenskyy, and quite a few others on both "sides" are a part of. So it's a democide for both Russia and Ukraine.

This is exactly right I think.

The American War machine needed a thoroughly corrupt theater to replace Afghanistan. Russia took the bait, while sycophantic European leadership were only too happy to do the Empire’s bidding at the expense of their own nation states.

I expect that Russia will finally put an end to the conflict while Western press will continue avoiding reporting Ukrainian losses on the ground.

In the meantime American neocons will continue to try and extend the conflict to the last Ukrainian, man, women and child.

Is WWI style trench warfare due to incompetence or is it intentional? After all, war always was and still is the health of the state. And besides it's profitable business. Miraculously it does not seem to interfere with natural gas transport from Russia through Ukraine to presumably Europe.

What struck me more in Glazjevs article was the statement that the condition for Russia's victory is a turn to socialism. It's more than clear that a digital concentration camp along the lines of China awaits us all, but I was kind of hoping that it wouldn't be proclaimed so enthusiastically in public.

Glazyev finally expresses what I've seen for months.

(1) it's a fratricidal war -- the result of Ukraine & Russia defining themselves into absolute, mutually-exclusive terms

(2) it's a trench war, which, just like WWI, can exhaust the warring sides, and weaken them for ever (France & Germany, and Britain also, never fully recovered).

(3) it does play into the McKinderians' goal to put a halt to the Western-Eastern connexion

Russia cannot enter the cities without a plan for Ukrainian development, and without a narrative that allows most Ukrainians to save face. Glazyev calls it "the lack of a clear ideology" -- but you could say it's the opposite: the ideology is too unambiguous (Russian Empire 2.0) to find worthy support amongst dyed-in-the-wool Ukrainians.

Compare this to WWII, where the Allied crafted the narrative that they were the "Liberators" helping the "resistance" against "occupation governments" before the return of "governments-in-exile". Nevermind the carpet bombing, the terrorizing embushes, etc. Paying attention to symbols and narrative is crucial. The WWII narrative was powerful enough that it lasted 70 years -- that is, until the generation disappared. Is there such force in the narrative of the "SMO"? except to the Ukrainians who think they have to be liberated from Western satanism?

I wish we could help Glazyev in some way. Perhaps he could mend forced with Dugin, who likes to toy with "ideologies" (a bit too much for the taste of many, though).

I knew it all the time. Glazyev has been a CIA/NATO operative all the while, just waiting for the right moment to play Brutus and stick a knife in St Vladimir's back, right on the cusp of his coming triumph over the Evil Empire. Ignore this traitor too, yee faithful, trust only those adhering to the correct line given us by Matt Ehret, Tom Luongo, Pepe Escobar, Scott Ritter and the other disciples. 😂

Thanks a lot, Riley, not the kind of stuff we hear here in the West, in an "alternative" media saturated with Putin excuse makers, Russian government bots and desperate "leftists" who worship the "hero," still stuck with "the US is the root of all evil" framework they grew up, the only one they know, they could not think their way out of it even if their lives depended upon it.

That's no problem for the 5D indy media so long as this isn't featured on English-language RT.com

All Russian-language media is a 5D chess move to confuse NATO anyway.

"Our leadership tried to seize the strategic initiative from the United States by accepting the LDNR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions as part of the Russian Federation."

And what has that acceptance yielded for the people of Donbass? The abrogation of their right to directly elect their heads of state: https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/5756972.

Someone on the internet wrote this:

"The United States did not nuke Hiroshima and Nagasaki because they had to. The existent air and sea blockade would have been far more effective at a fraction of the cost. they did it because they intentionally, strategically, WANTED to.

"They did it for many reasons that I suppose would make logical sense to a lizard brain power mad creature capable of carefully premeditated mass murder-for-personal-gain ( but no sense at all to sane people). The first reason that they instantaneously killed 100,000 people with the first detonation was strategic. It was to demonstrate to the world that they COULD do it (i.e. that they had the bomb and were willing to erase an entire city with it, in one go.)

"The second nuclear bombing, three days later in Nagasaki, was also strategically intended. It was meant to show to the world that America’s new boss (the Military Industrial Complex and its masters) had the capacity and willingness to continue indiscriminately annihilating vast swaths of innocent civilian men, women and children for as long as necessary to achieve their goal of violent domination of the entire world.

"The world definitely got the message, and was subdued and subjugated by that message for the next 80 years. The message was that lizard brain power mad creatures had the bomb and would be more than happy to use it on anyone and everyone who defied their orders or failed to hand over their sovereignty, their wealth and their freedom . . . forever and ever.

"It should also be noted that these two “reasons” are still in play (or so the lizards think). That physically existential threat is basically how the lizards managed to finally (after centuries) grab all of the money and achieve near-hegemony in the first place. And threatening the annihilation of human life on Earth is basically how they’re hanging on to the money and power now (or trying to.) Being lizard-brained they actually believe that the “dead-man’s-switch” of financial ruin and mutually assured nuclear destruction, clutched in their clammy fingers, will both protect them AND enable them to prevail against the masses and other nations.

"How wrong they are. Russia has beat them at their own game. The nuclear hostage strategy has failed because Russia has called their bluff. Most of the world can stand just fine without the dollar, and when it comes right down to the absolute finish line regarding nuclear weapons Russia has opted for “Give me liberty, or give me death.” Like Putin is said to have said, the evil will go to Hell as villains, and we will go to Heaven as martyrs.

"I’m with the Ruskies on that one. It’s better to be physically dead than totally dead. I’ll take my chances.

"The global experiment in total totalitarianism is now winding down to it’s pathetic and predictable close. Hopefully the world learned it’s lesson."

I agree with all of the above, and also say that the tendency shown by so many, to trust that a loose affiliation of untrustworthy creeps can play 5-D chess forever for everything but Putin can't even play standard old 3-D war chess for his own land, shows a profound faith, even worship, of insane power mad lizard brained cabals.

To paraphrase Vader, "I find your excessive faith... disturbing."

"Russia cannot enter the cities without a plan for Ukrainian development, and without a narrative that allows most Ukrainians to save face."

Says who? And who says that narrative must be delivered before the war is over??? Conquerors can do as they will, and Ukraine is mos def being conquered. Why and what for, I'll let the crystal-gazers address an it please em.

Save face? Seriously? And no narrative? Russia has been screaming its agenda at UkraNato since 2013, for chrissake. Currently, this is the narrative: freeze and starve. If Russia supplies aid once the NatoNazis are clearly no longer a threat, much face will be saved all around.

War be like that, I hear.

We have names for flocks: a murmuration of starlings, a murder of crows, a gaggle of geese.

I call sites like this 'an echo of chambers'. The following quote from the3 comments sums up what such sites rapidly become: poo-flinging stadia:

"Pepe Escobar is a low IQ Putin/Xi bootlicker and a twink."

He's clearly not low IQ, and twinks are people too. Let's call everyone names! Yeah~! We're internet grownups and we have all the answers, starting with the fact that everything you know is wrong (unless you agree with me). https://youtu.be/YKZtt2yEwfs

The UN Security Council is not only in a Rockefeller property philanthropically donated for the "sake of humanity", it's a literal round table of partners where US, UK, France, representing the terrorist USEUNATO conglomerate, and Russia/China hystrionically appear to oppose each other while, in practice coordinating the design of global fates.

Here's them supporting each other while making inflation and economic woes worse for global taxcattle, thank Turkish, Chinese and Indian intermediaries reselling Russian gas back to Putin's so-called "enemies" in the West refusing to buy it directly from the Kremlin:

In fairness, waiting for the inevitable collapse of the collective West and hence their ability to keep propping up Ukraine seems like a pretty sound military strategy right now.
