Ever since I read on your blog some weeks back that gas and oil still transits via Ukraine to Europe I have become totally disillusioned with this whole business. This is a jack-up like every war. I think, influential people, with or without Putin, are in cahoots with the UN & WEF to have a war in which hundreds of thousands (or millions) of people will be killed and maimed. At least two objectives achieved - depopulation and elimination of fighting age men who can oppose the agenda of the aforementioned organisations in that part of the world. It is also a major distraction for a major portion of the worlds people while agendas are implemented.
Quite. I've always assumed that the objective was to have a similar situation to the one in 1984 (the novel) in which societies find themselves in perpetual war, which serves as an excuse for why they exist in a state of permanent emergency and impoverishment. If this was the planners' objective, where would you position a military no-man's-land between East and West?
Boris Johnson's scuppering of the peace accord reached by Russia and Ukraine tends to confirm my impression. These planners see warfare as the best way to change society to what they want. (See interviews with Norman Dod on YouTube).
Like Agenda 2030 which will be implemented in all countries including Russia and China. Who is debating "Summit of the Future, a once-in-a-generation opportunity, aiming to strengthen global governance for the sake of present and future generations"? The event will be hosted at the UN September 22-23 where presidents and prime ministers from all continents will sign away their nation's executive power to UN and its subsidiaries.
It is impossible to "like" an announcement like this. Substack should introduce a new icon to wordlessly comment. A furrowed brow or a vomiting face would be appropriate.
No one (aside from that handful) wins. For Russia, the best result (if even measurable) would be a degradation (or slowing) of the West's 'Destroy Russia' project (which uses Ukraine as an instrument). But then, what does that matter, given that Russia is willingly heading into the same 4IR/WHO/etc dystopian dustbin as every other country? We'll all be lucky if it does not go nuclear (as the depop lobby is arguably hoping or agitating for - the neocons seem openly cavalier about it).
Meanwhile, "victory" for Ukraine apparently means being subsumed into and eventually erased by the NATO/EU woke ESG multiculti homogenizer.... again, ending up in the same dystopian dustbin as Russia (but with enhanced and enduring intra-Slavic hatred among what remains of its historical population). Even before the hot phase of this war, I was troubled to see the "nationalists" clamoring for the ultimate self-negation of EU membership.
> "For Russia, the best result (if even measurable) would be a degradation (or slowing) of the West's 'Destroy Russia' project"
No, Russia's greatest weakness is the lack of sovereignty in its culture. This is what led the Russian people to overthrow their own empire twice in a century - imbibing first the Marxist project, then the Anglo liberal order.
On the other hand, I cannot say a recipe for a cultural rejuvenation. But I do have a hunch - to rediscover the love for their own country, they must sacrifice a few million foreigners. Nuclear weapons are really good for that. A few million dead Poles = and the Ukrainians will immediately see the failure of their ways, the Americans will find a new admiration for Russia, and the Russians themselves would become possessed of great pride in their racial strength. A hecatomb is in order, as per my view.
A hecatomb, or a holodomor. Because if Russia cucks a third time, it will dissolve forever, and tens of millions of Russians will starve to death again.
Thank you, Riley, for taking the time to slog through this point by point with such honesty and care. I, for one, greatly appreciate your analysis and your overall pursuit of truth. This war is an unfathomable tragedy every which way, while the real truth about it seems more and more elusive all the time. Just watching from a distance is heartbreaking and exhausting . . . I can't imagine being in the midst of it. I bless you for your good heart and your incisive reporting, and I wish the very best for you and your son.
Excellent write-up. What a tragic mess this whole war is. And what for? I don't understand it and I never have, not since Russia botched it so badly in the beginning with their turn-about just outside Kiev. This is the most odd war I've had the displeasure of having to witness.
As for the supposed casualty numbers that the Russian MOD releases, it is self-evident at this point that they cannot be true. Just recently at the SPIEF, Putin claimed that Ukraine had lost almost 200 tanks in the counteroffensive so far. How many times haven't we seen the Russian MOD claim numbers similar to this? Almost 200 times? I'd love to see someone make a summary of statements like this dating back to the outbreak of the war. It'd surely reach some impossible number that would prove it to be baloney.
"TASS has put together Putin’s key answers.
On Ukrainian counteroffensive
The losses that Kiev is facing during its so-called counteroffensive are ten times greater than Moscow’s. The Ukrainian armed forces have already lost 186 tanks and 418 armored vehicles.
"The main thing is that [Kiev has achieved] no success in any area.""
For me worth the read, invaluable to here objective voices from other then NA and EU. The garbage coming from Canadian MSM news CBC is nothing but one lie after another. Evan non MSM is appearing to be controlled opposition.
Anyways appreciate your comments and have helped me understand further the nonsense of what's goin on over there. The family thing is certainly sad. I tried to point out the covid scam to family and friends when it 1st started. Now my son won't talk to me and also some of my (I thought) long time friends have dis-associated from me
anyways war is certainly an orchestrated racket and only benefits the banksters/military-industrial-complex scumbags
"Wars are not organic, they're planned out many years in advance and pushed with propaganda against the target group. And yeah, "All Wars Are Banker Wars !"
Victory would be the Ukrainian people coming together.
It would be Kiev Ukrainians renouncing any desire to oppress Donbas Ukrainians.
That would be the sanest victory. That is what should happen.
Ukrainians should recognise only they die, only they suffer and they should put an end to it, should refute and refuse Kiev and USA's directions, pressures, coaxings, wheedlings.. Tell them to get out, get off, get away.
Yes, I think we are... or would be if we did. The fact is we, the people of the western world organised into our 'representative democracies' simply do not perform our function in such social organisations, the way I see it.
We simply rather reluctantly elect one party rather than the other and then walk away until the next election.
So those get elected into power who've angled for it and played the game the right way for the party bosses and owners and when they get there they're virtually untrammeled in what they might do.
Only those same bosses and owners are on stage with them.
We ignore them. So they ignore us. When did you last communicate with any of your reps? And if you ever did how frequently do you do it?
And how many meaningful communications do you ever get from them?
So they ignore us.
And only those 'party bosses' and 'party owner' signify.
And right there is where we find the mad men, the psychopathic world elite, the megalomaniacs etc...
Is the way I see it.
There's something missing in the world, in our world: and it is us. Playing the part we're supposed to play.
Yep, it can easily been seen like that. For it is like that. But the trouble is we are the State. Once we start putting 'The State' in capitals as I just did then we create another mythical entity which we can demonise and use as a whipping boy for all ills and deflect attention away from the real cause of all our evils: our own selves.
I think.
Because where it is very noticeable that we are slaughtering each other when we do something like a Mao purge or such it is less noticeable that we are 'spiritually' or 'notionally' slaughtering each other when we sit in our offices and sign papers, enter names, check boxes and implement all the 'machinery of state' that gives effect to injustice and evils.
So if the Department Head says we must find and list all those who have children and haven't had covid jab then we just do it. And if the Department Head says we must now send the local police department and public health department these names on a list of 'children to be injected' then we just do it. And it gets done.
And if investigations, protests come back up the line towards us we cover our asses and the Department Head covers his/hers and the 'machinery of state' has just done a great evil.
But who was it?
Me and you.
Hanlon's razor in its various manifestations is very prominent in this area and doubtless a number of other adages. All of which point back to the irrefutable fact that we do things to ourselves.
Hitler probably never shot anyone in his life. Nor perhaps Stalin, or Mao and so on..
The man in Pfizer who said in the boardroom or around the water cooler 'oh if we could get ivermectin banned then there'd really be no available treatment, you know, and we could get it marketed as emergency medication' probably never earned a dime from the thought and had no more malice in him than you or I. But he started a chain of events that killed thousands and thousands, maybe millions and changed the face of 'democracy' across the western world and stripped the medical profession of its fundamental independence.
Underdog wall of text incoming. Yes, yes, no-one reads it, I get it, but I'm thorough, okay, it'll be like those letters by Benjamin Franklin that no-one read either.
Disclaimer: This is hypothetical. In a highly realistic kind of way. Realistically hypothetical. Okay, we good?
Good outcome for Ukraine?: The public rise up and murder the globalists. And they do it now. Not later after nukes have been fired, not later after more people have died from poison shots, not later after Bill Gates releases more sterilisation mosquitoes. Now. Now, now, now.
Worldwide public overthrow globalists.
Americans stop financing the war.
Russians agree to demarcation at whatever line best distinguishes ethnic Russian regions from ethnic Ukrainian regions, using fair polling to determine the whose-who, avoiding enclaves where possible.
Both sides work together to rebuild destroyed infrastructure.
China stops expanding itself outwardly, vacates Hong Kong, leaves Taiwan alone, vacates Tibet, vacates Mongolia, and frees anyone in slave camps, focusing on inward cleansing and development of infrastructure, water, food, etc.
Americans overhaul political system so no longer can a small body of politicians drag the entire country into war. Constitutional Direct Democracy.
Russians overhaul their political system to delineate healthcare away from oligarchs.
Ukraine overhauls their system and jails genocidal maniacs.
EU breaks up into pieces.
US breaks up into pieces.
China breaks up into pieces.
NATO breaks up into pieces.
UN dissolved, never to return.
WHO dissolved, never to return.
Any other group-wank globalist organisation dissolved never to return.
Russia stays Russia because most of their land is just garbage tundra anyway.
Africa stops getting sidefucked by logistics and war over resources.
Shell removed from Nigeria (their pollution of Nigeria is a scandal in and by itself).
No more Israel favouritism.
No more 'union of arab states'.
Systematic self-reflection by nations in order to overhaul their processes to prevent tyrants gaining power, with Constitutional rights for all expanded, more processes to thwart unilateral grabs of power, and more processes to stop agencies making unilateral determinations of law and truth/untruth. Economy focused on sovereignty, not 'profitable trade'.
TL;DR: Good ending involves removing the unhinged globalists.
The front line hasn't moved for nearly 11 months, despite a Russian offensive this spring, with mobilized conscripts - which failed, and despite what appears to be a failing Ukrainian counteroffensive. In the process, Putin has fired two of his most effective generals - totally alienating one of them, and has put incompetent and corrupt apparatchiks in their place - like that proven loser Gerasimov. Putin started this war by ignoring his own intelligence services - or scaring the shit out of them so they'd tell him what they thought he wanted to hear, rather than what he needed to hear. It started out as a complete clusterfuck and has continued to be so, and will continue so long as Putin is stuck in the Sunk Cost Fallacy. He either needs a reality check or a long talk with a psychiatrist. He's shown himself to be totally incompetent throughout this operation - but he was never a military guy in the first place, just a mid-level bureaucrat in the KGB. The national security states of the West will continue to send guns and money - but no lawyers. And the Zelenskyy government has its own problems with incompetence and corruption. What we've got are two punch-drunk fighters duking it out, they're evenly matched, and only a lucky knock-out punch will stop it - or both will be exhausted and quit. My bet is on the latter, after about six more months of senseless death and destruction, sometime in the dead of winter. By then, the front lines will be very close to what they are now.
My bet is that the solution will be to make the Donbass into a non-aligned buffer state, with Swiss-style defenses - including a population armed like the Swiss. Same case for Zaporhizia, Kherson, and Crimea - I'll bet the populations are equally sick of Moscow and Kyiv and would like to have their lives back and be done with both.
I am saddened by all of it, too, Riley. What a mess the Russians have gotten themselves in. Thank you for the article though. It would’ve probably taken me a week to write something remotely close to it. My wife is Russian, so is my son, but I choose to stay in this country (for various reasons). Our only hope is for a sensible, and I should say unlikely candidate, such as Kennedy to win the next elections in the US, and for the powers that be to come to their senses on both sides. And even though that is highly unlikely, I hope and pray for peace. Thanks again for the sweat and tears you put in this article/post. Appreciate you, man. Much love!
Thanks Riley for your work in compiling this blog article. As I see it, Putin and Zelensky are both globalists ... instruments of Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum.
Their shared objective for the time being at least, is to drag this war on indefinitely, to help facilitate the Great Reset. You mentioned the Strana.ua article, where even pro-Russian Ukrainians voiced their frustration with Putin's strategy ... as if he just intends to drag this war on.
Then of course, the major prisoner swap where Putin handed back to Ukraine, members of what is perceived as the pro-Nazi Azov Battalion. And as other people have commented, and indeed yourself have often highlighted, Russia on the domestic front, is heading down the same dystopian Globalist path as the west.
Pro-Putin people in Western freedom movements are utterly oblivious to this fact. Of course, when a corrupt Western media tells you that Zelensky is the unabashed hero, and Putin the complementary and requisite villain for their narrative, I can see how many in Western freedom movements, want to believe that Putin, in ostensibly cutting off the Ukrainian head of the Globalist snake, is the only thing standing between themselves and the Globalists.
Back in May 2022, I wrote a huge blog article, preceded by a 26 point summary, on the Russia-Ukraine war at
The photo at the beginning of Putin whispering into crooked Hilary's ear, for me, basically sums up this conflict, that is meant to be murky and almost impossible to get a handle on and understand. Also, my take on Andrei Illarionov -- Putin's Economic minister from 2000-2005 at:
In the first place, I thought Gerrish was patronizing and made no serious effort to understand Zurawell, but instead tried to corral the discussion to cover only what he felt important, on his own terms. The question of source validation seemed to be central to the discussion, yet Gerrish steamrollered over Zurawell instead of giving meaningful consideration of their differences.
I thought that all the points you laid out were valid, but that the questions you raised were apparent from the start: how indeed do you "demilitarize and denazify", and excise NATO, without taking over the entire country, and how will that work out for ya?
The West has a habit of disguising brutal military actions within a shell of "humanitarian assistance" or somesuch, that legitimates their efforts to naive ideologues. Until Putin learns to dress Russia's program within a similar cloak of social righteousness, Russian efforts to capture hearts and minds will be at a disadvantage. It's not that the cloth of justice isn't there, it's just that Russia hasn't learned to cut and sew the pattern of propaganda. The west tends to overdo this, but at least a Hollywood approach attracts the political fanatics to its cause, much to its advantage.
Your mention of Gladio is perceptive. After all, the support provided by Ukrainian emigres from Stalinist Russia, Canadians in particular, was tied directly to the stay-behind Banderist network of the war that Reinhard Gehlen successfully developed into anti-Soviet Bundesnachrichtendienst. The most intransigent have now taken over the Ukrainian political machinery, and will have to be dealt with, one way or another, before, during and after this operation.
I agree with your sentiments: good luck with that. But i don't think that struggle is avoidable, especially since it's exactly what the west would most like to keep inflamed.
"My son is a Russian citizen, but he has relatives who live in a suburb of Kiev. When the SMO started, we would Zoom chat almost daily with them. We were all rather confused about what was going on, and together we expressed our hope that whatever was going on, it would end in the nearest future.
These Zoom calls ended about two months later. Our relatives no longer wanted to communicate with us.
What you have to appreciate is that this conflict doesn’t just represent Ukraine’s (possibly irreversible) divorce from the Russian World, but is also a form of family divorce, in the literal and figurative sense."
Oligarks are like a cancer tumor, feeding on the body energy (in this case the countries, their people).
May your family be reconcile since the divorce has not been officially pronounced.
I know your feeling since I have experimented badly the consequences of war myself.
God bless you my friend Riley, keep your sense of humour, at least we have one another and like rastas say in West Africa, "We ate together"... aknowledging that fact dilutes our sorrows.
When a Hobbit feels like he could be sad, there is only one way.
A new challenge!...
Learn a new danse my man!
-You told us about how you learned Ukraino/Russian squatting thing, so you love dancing.
-You have written about avian flue recently? Right?
OK, so now, you could learn that one from Ivory Coast, designed explicitly during one of the 'outbreak'.
Avian flue, by DJ Lewis!
All the movements are demonstrated in the video clip. Ten years ago all the youth in West Africa did it. I must confess that I indulged in it to and because I'm 5 feet and 2.2 inches 'high', you can somehow consider Bugey as a Hobbit to. Don't be shy, I am sure you can do it .
Forget this "good for Russia" stuff. What's best *for the people who run Russia* is .... more of the same. An interminable war which keeps the country in a state of siege mentality, enables the regime to blame all adverse events on the war and the external enemies (right while business relations continue with these enemies, and use the situation and "Pandemics" past and future to wheel in 4IR/Agenda 2030/SDBs. NATO sees things... the same way. Thanks, Riley.
Prior to the "special not-war" 13 Eastern European countries were incorporated into NATO. So you didnt have to be a scholar specializing in geostrategic politics to see where it was all leading, especially after Clinton bombed Yugoslavia.
International bankster/gangsters are a "fickle friend" with a lot of rulers and frequently a lovers quarrel unexpectedly occurs over who gets to keep the house resulting in an untimely savage death.
Be that as it may, it has always been the intent of the financiers to balkanize Russia and to extract its goodies. So in that respect, Putin was correct when he said NATO at Russia's border is an existential threat.
However knowing all of that, why would the Kremlin expect a "special not-war" to be enough to deter voracious barbarians from barging through Russia's front door. So the only conclusion that can be reached, which I might add is quite cynical is that the vicious slaughter was to aggressively ensure a "prime" seat at the multipolar table as China's top-tier spot was already secured.
can't remember who was it who eloquently described that world affairs are run in mafia-like style. There are a handful of global elites (dons). They use powerful international institutions to exercise power (kapos). Those deal with mafia at national level (local governments = soldiers). And these local governments use their local enforcers. As long as local governments obey the instructions from above, they are allowed to steal & plunder their own lands as they wish. The point is - NONE of them remotely care about peasantry. All these occasional quarrels between mafia families are simply turf wars. In all important questions global mafia agree, like CBDC..I don't know how many videos I got recommended about for example Indian government saying they stand up for India interests first, not USA, and uninformed Indians are crying with joy how their leaders want the best for them. In the meantime, Indian government is already testing their CBDC and announced it will be programmable...
It is disheartening to see so many people leaving baboon level mainstream propaganda (thankfully) but end up being caught in the net of 5D bloggers, not getting anywhere near the truth.
Ukraine appears to be a turf war. A few days ago Putin was asked how he feels about depleted uranium shells coming from the west. Instead of at least pretending to be gravely concerned about well being of Russian soldiers, the land, Slavic people in general etc., he just remarked along the lines Russia has those shells as well and can use them too.... THEY DON'T CARE.
Yes, spot on. Some conservatives hold Putin up as a shining light to lead us away from wokism and I can see why: he is playing his part in the old ‘good cop, bad cop’ routine. In many ways it is all very clever.
Personally I think that there is a power struggle between the ‘Dons’ and they are flexing their power to establish their position in the ‘Family’. The fact that lots of proles get killed in a useless war is just a bonus.
It's a confusing situation because the " War" has about a dozen parts to it. It's not a cut and dry type of War. We are looking at the Bolshevik Revolution II , with the same players on both sides. The divide and conquer war against the Slavic lands and people from Eastern Europe and Russia have been in play for over a hundred years now, but if we look at how the rest of the white European/north American race is in a war for their survival , we see the same in the white Slavic race. Someone behind the curtains does Not want a steady, large mass of white races that are usually successful in leading their countries. And this is only part of the Ukraine war , and, is part of the entire situation in the World today. We need a full disclosure war against those who have Hijacked the Planet.
Ever since I read on your blog some weeks back that gas and oil still transits via Ukraine to Europe I have become totally disillusioned with this whole business. This is a jack-up like every war. I think, influential people, with or without Putin, are in cahoots with the UN & WEF to have a war in which hundreds of thousands (or millions) of people will be killed and maimed.

NATO breaks up into pieces.
UN dissolved, never to return.
WHO dissolved, never to return.
Any other group-wank globalist organisation dissolved never to return.
Russia stays Russia because most of their land is just garbage tundra anyway.
Africa stops getting sidefucked by logistics and war over resources.
Shell removed from Nigeria (their pollution of Nigeria is a scandal in and by itself).
No more Israel favouritism.
No more 'union of arab states'.
Systematic self-reflection by nations in order to overhaul their processes to prevent tyrants gaining power, with Constitutional rights for all expanded, more processes to thwart unilateral grabs of power, and more processes to stop agencies making unilateral determinations of law and truth/untruth. Economy focused on sovereignty, not 'profitable trade'.
TL;DR: Good ending involves removing the unhinged globalists.
The front line hasn't moved for nearly 11 months, despite a Russian offensive this spring, with mobilized conscripts - which failed, and despite what appears to be a failing Ukrainian counteroffensive. In the process, Putin has fired two of his most effective generals - totally alienating one of them, and has put incompetent and corrupt apparatchiks in their place - like that proven loser Gerasimov. Putin started this war by ignoring his own intelligence services - or scaring the shit out of them so they'd tell him what they thought he wanted to hear, rather than what he needed to hear. It started out as a complete clusterfuck and has continued to be so, and will continue so long as Putin is stuck in the Sunk Cost Fallacy. He either needs a reality check or a long talk with a psychiatrist. He's shown himself to be totally incompetent throughout this operation - but he was never a military guy in the first place, just a mid-level bureaucrat in the KGB. The national security states of the West will continue to send guns and money - but no lawyers. And the Zelenskyy government has its own problems with incompetence and corruption. What we've got are two punch-drunk fighters duking it out, they're evenly matched, and only a lucky knock-out punch will stop it - or both will be exhausted and quit. My bet is on the latter, after about six more months of senseless death and destruction, sometime in the dead of winter. By then, the front lines will be very close to what they are now.
My bet is that the solution will be to make the Donbass into a non-aligned buffer state, with Swiss-style defenses - including a population armed like the Swiss. Same case for Zaporhizia, Kherson, and Crimea - I'll bet the populations are equally sick of Moscow and Kyiv and would like to have their lives back and be done with both.
I am saddened by all of it, too, Riley. What a mess the Russians have gotten themselves in. Thank you for the article though. It would’ve probably taken me a week to write something remotely close to it. My wife is Russian, so is my son, but I choose to stay in this country (for various reasons). Our only hope is for a sensible, and I should say unlikely candidate, such as Kennedy to win the next elections in the US, and for the powers that be to come to their senses on both sides. And even though that is highly unlikely, I hope and pray for peace. Thanks again for the sweat and tears you put in this article/post. Appreciate you, man. Much love!
Thanks Riley for your work in compiling this blog article. As I see it, Putin and Zelensky are both globalists ... instruments of Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum.
Their shared objective for the time being at least, is to drag this war on indefinitely, to help facilitate the Great Reset. You mentioned the Strana.ua article, where even pro-Russian Ukrainians voiced their frustration with Putin's strategy ... as if he just intends to drag this war on.
Then of course, the major prisoner swap where Putin handed back to Ukraine, members of what is perceived as the pro-Nazi Azov Battalion. And as other people have commented, and indeed yourself have often highlighted, Russia on the domestic front, is heading down the same dystopian Globalist path as the west.
Pro-Putin people in Western freedom movements are utterly oblivious to this fact. Of course, when a corrupt Western media tells you that Zelensky is the unabashed hero, and Putin the complementary and requisite villain for their narrative, I can see how many in Western freedom movements, want to believe that Putin, in ostensibly cutting off the Ukrainian head of the Globalist snake, is the only thing standing between themselves and the Globalists.
Back in May 2022, I wrote a huge blog article, preceded by a 26 point summary, on the Russia-Ukraine war at
https://vincebarwinski.com/2022/05/15/the-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-the-globalist-engineered-conundrum-of-deceit-deception-confusion-and-subversion/
The photo at the beginning of Putin whispering into crooked Hilary's ear, for me, basically sums up this conflict, that is meant to be murky and almost impossible to get a handle on and understand. Also, my take on Andrei Illarionov -- Putin's Economic minister from 2000-2005 at:
https://vincebarwinski.com/2022/06/20/andrei-illarionov-article-on-the-biden-putin-duplicity-in-ukraine-taken-down/
Such is the take of an Aussie of Polish descent who has worked in Poland teaching English way back in 2004-2005, and been back in 2008 and 2014.
Cheers
Read every word of this and enjoyed it (if "enjoyed" is the right word).
Excellent article.
In the first place, I thought Gerrish was patronizing and made no serious effort to understand Zurawell, but instead tried to corral the discussion to cover only what he felt important, on his own terms. The question of source validation seemed to be central to the discussion, yet Gerrish steamrollered over Zurawell instead of giving meaningful consideration of their differences.
I thought that all the points you laid out were valid, but that the questions you raised were apparent from the start: how indeed do you "demilitarize and denazify", and excise NATO, without taking over the entire country, and how will that work out for ya?
The West has a habit of disguising brutal military actions within a shell of "humanitarian assistance" or somesuch, that legitimates their efforts to naive ideologues. Until Putin learns to dress Russia's program within a similar cloak of social righteousness, Russian efforts to capture hearts and minds will be at a disadvantage. It's not that the cloth of justice isn't there, it's just that Russia hasn't learned to cut and sew the pattern of propaganda. The west tends to overdo this, but at least a Hollywood approach attracts the political fanatics to its cause, much to its advantage.
Your mention of Gladio is perceptive. After all, the support provided by Ukrainian emigres from Stalinist Russia, Canadians in particular, was tied directly to the stay-behind Banderist network of the war that Reinhard Gehlen successfully developed into anti-Soviet Bundesnachrichtendienst. The most intransigent have now taken over the Ukrainian political machinery, and will have to be dealt with, one way or another, before, during and after this operation.
I agree with your sentiments: good luck with that. But i don't think that struggle is avoidable, especially since it's exactly what the west would most like to keep inflamed.
"My son is a Russian citizen, but he has relatives who live in a suburb of Kiev. When the SMO started, we would Zoom chat almost daily with them. We were all rather confused about what was going on, and together we expressed our hope that whatever was going on, it would end in the nearest future.
These Zoom calls ended about two months later. Our relatives no longer wanted to communicate with us.
What you have to appreciate is that this conflict doesn’t just represent Ukraine’s (possibly irreversible) divorce from the Russian World, but is also a form of family divorce, in the literal and figurative sense."
Oligarks are like a cancer tumor, feeding on the body energy (in this case the countries, their people).
May your family be reconcile since the divorce has not been officially pronounced.
I know your feeling since I have experimented badly the consequences of war myself.
God bless you my friend Riley, keep your sense of humour, at least we have one another and like rastas say in West Africa, "We ate together"... aknowledging that fact dilutes our sorrows.

Thanks, Bugey :)
be well my friend,

Riley,
When a Hobbit feels like he could be sad, there is only one way.
A new challenge!...
Learn a new danse my man!
-You told us about how you learned Ukraino/Russian squatting thing, so you love dancing.
-You have written about avian flue recently? Right?
OK, so now, you could learn that one from Ivory Coast, designed explicitly during one of the 'outbreak'.
Avian flue, by DJ Lewis!
All the movements are demonstrated in the video clip. Ten years ago all the youth in West Africa did it. I must confess that I indulged in it to and because I'm 5 feet and 2.2 inches 'high', you can somehow consider Bugey as a Hobbit to. Don't be shy, I am sure you can do it .
Let's start!

OUPS!!! We ARE together!
Forget this "good for Russia" stuff. What's best *for the people who run Russia* is .... more of the same. An interminable war which keeps the country in a state of siege mentality, enables the regime to blame all adverse events on the war and the external enemies (right while business relations continue with these enemies, and use the situation and "Pandemics" past and future to wheel in 4IR/Agenda 2030/SDBs. NATO sees things... the same way. Thanks, Riley.
Exactly !
Russia's fate was checkmated in 1991.
Prior to the "special not-war" 13 Eastern European countries were incorporated into NATO. So you didnt have to be a scholar specializing in geostrategic politics to see where it was all leading, especially after Clinton bombed Yugoslavia.
International bankster/gangsters are a "fickle friend" with a lot of rulers and frequently a lovers quarrel unexpectedly occurs over who gets to keep the house resulting in an untimely savage death.
Be that as it may, it has always been the intent of the financiers to balkanize Russia and to extract its goodies. So in that respect, Putin was correct when he said NATO at Russia's border is an existential threat.
However knowing all of that, why would the Kremlin expect a "special not-war" to be enough to deter voracious barbarians from barging through Russia's front door. So the only conclusion that can be reached, which I might add is quite cynical is that the vicious slaughter was to aggressively ensure a "prime" seat at the multipolar table as China's top-tier spot was already secured.
can't remember who was it who eloquently described that world affairs are run in mafia-like style. There are a handful of global elites (dons). They use powerful international institutions to exercise power (kapos). Those deal with mafia at national level (local governments = soldiers). And these local governments use their local enforcers. As long as local governments obey the instructions from above, they are allowed to steal & plunder their own lands as they wish. The point is - NONE of them remotely care about peasantry. All these occasional quarrels between mafia families are simply turf wars. In all important questions global mafia agree, like CBDC..I don't know how many videos I got recommended about for example Indian government saying they stand up for India interests first, not USA, and uninformed Indians are crying with joy how their leaders want the best for them. In the meantime, Indian government is already testing their CBDC and announced it will be programmable...
It is disheartening to see so many people leaving baboon level mainstream propaganda (thankfully) but end up being caught in the net of 5D bloggers, not getting anywhere near the truth.
Ukraine appears to be a turf war. A few days ago Putin was asked how he feels about depleted uranium shells coming from the west. Instead of at least pretending to be gravely concerned about well being of Russian soldiers, the land, Slavic people in general etc., he just remarked along the lines Russia has those shells as well and can use them too.... THEY DON'T CARE.
Exactly, it's another mafia turf war. None of which benefits the proles. However, the CBDC will definitely be advantageous for the ruling elite.
Yes, spot on. Some conservatives hold Putin up as a shining light to lead us away from wokism and I can see why: he is playing his part in the old ‘good cop, bad cop’ routine. In many ways it is all very clever.
Personally I think that there is a power struggle between the ‘Dons’ and they are flexing their power to establish their position in the ‘Family’. The fact that lots of proles get killed in a useless war is just a bonus.
Anri,
I saw you 'liked' one of my comment mentioning Emmanuel Todd. Did you know he was living in Japan?
In the interview he claims that there should be a new field of inquiry that would associate psychiatrists and geo-politologue...
Take care

It's a confusing situation because the " War" has about a dozen parts to it. It's not a cut and dry type of War. We are looking at the Bolshevik Revolution II , with the same players on both sides. The divide and conquer war against the Slavic lands and people from Eastern Europe and Russia have been in play for over a hundred years now, but if we look at how the rest of the white European/north American race is in a war for their survival , we see the same in the white Slavic race. Someone behind the curtains does Not want a steady, large mass of white races that are usually successful in leading their countries. And this is only part of the Ukraine war , and, is part of the entire situation in the World today. We need a full disclosure war against those who have Hijacked the Planet.
