The ball is in Russia’s court? Russia is winning a war, not playing tennis

The ball is in Russia’s court, according to the Trump administration regarding a proposed 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine.

The proposed truce was announced following discussions on Tuesday in Saudi Arabia between the U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and representatives of the NATO-backed Ukrainian regime. Rubio said it was now up to Russia to reciprocate with the Ukrainian side’s purported willingness to hold a ceasefire.

In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin tactfully said that Russia was open to a ceasefire but only if it led to a complete and comprehensive peace settlement. Putin repeated that any durable resolution must address the root causes of the conflict and Russia’s fundamental strategic security concerns.

The Russian leader then met with Trump’s special envoy on Thursday. Following the discussions in Jeddah between the U.S. and the Kiev regime, Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff travelled to Moscow where he met with Putin. The details of their conversation were not disclosed. But it was reported that Witkoff delivered “additional information” from Trump to Putin regarding the proposed ceasefire. It was reported that Witkoff returned to Washington with details from Putin. It may be surmised that the Russian position on its terms was reiterated. Trump hailed the discussions as “productive.”

Herein lies the rub. The essential underlying issues are the aggressive expansion of NATO and its weaponizing of a NeoNazi Ukrainian regime. The United States and its NATO partners instigated the conflict in Ukraine over several decades since at least the end of the Cold War in 1991. The past three-year war in Ukraine is but a symptom of a longer and systematic hostility. Trump seems to be cognizant of those issues.

The Trump administration has abandoned the false war-propaganda of the Biden administration. It is now acknowledged in Washington that the conflict in Ukraine is a proxy war between the U.S.-led NATO axis and Russia.

As the spectacular military defeat of the NATO proxy forces in Kursk this week demonstrates – as well as the rapid gains Russia is making against the crumbling Kiev regime – the U.S.-led “Ukraine Project” has been vanquished. Russia has all but won the proxy war.

The Americans (factions within) and their NATO surrogates are trying to avoid the admission of defeat by contriving a superficial peace process that only ends up as a “frozen conflict” on Russia’s borders.

The best way to bring the war to an end is for the United States to stop arming the Kiev regime and supplying it with intelligence and logistical support.

This week Trump resumed military and intelligence supplies to the Kiev regime to coincide with the apparent offer of a ceasefire from the Ukrainian regime. That amounts to one step forward, two steps back.

It was rather risible to hear Marco Rubio, the U.S.’ top diplomat, affecting the image of an honest peace broker telling Russia that the ball was in its court to reciprocate for peace as “a compromise” with Ukraine.

The Trump administration has a misplaced view of the conflict if it thinks Russia can be pressured according to U.S. one-sided and pretentious demands.

Russia is winning a momentous war, not playing tennis.

In any case, the ball, so to speak, is and will remain firmly in the United States’ court until it accepts defeat and Russia’s victory terms. It is the U.S. and not its European vassals nor its catspaw Kiev regime that will have to make that call.

Those terms have been repeatedly stipulated by Moscow: a lasting security treaty in Europe consonant with Russia’s just and basic demands for NATO to roll back and desist from its aggressive tendencies; for Ukraine to be a neutral state in perpetuity never being a member of NATO; for the NeoNazi regime to be eradicated and the cultural rights of ethnic Russian people to be guaranteed and respected; and for the historic Russian territories of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, Zaporozhye and of course Crimea to remain intact as part of the Russian Federation.

Moscow reserves the right to change the terms per conditions on the ground if the conflict persists, such as reclaiming its historic territory of Odessa, Kharkiv, Nikolaev, and enforcing a no-fire zone in Ukraine’s Sumy Oblast from where the failed NATO Kursk offensive was launched last August.

On Russia’s successful recapture of Kursk, as Putin points out, there are serious contingencies that need to be dealt with even before a ceasefire is contemplated. The invaders, including NATO mercenaries, committed war crimes against civilians. Are they expected to be let go freely? This is no doubt a reason why the U.S. and Ukraine are suddenly pushing the idea for a ceasefire as a way to salvage failure and rearm.

Trump will have to deal with the reality of Russia’s dominant position: its military victory and its historically righteous cause to confront NATO aggression.

It remains to be seen now how Trump responds. He needs to disabuse arrogant misconceptions that Washington is acting as a peace broker. The U.S. is the main protagonist in a proxy war against Russia. The Kiev regime is but a bit player. Moscow has no need or inclination to engage with a corrupt NeoNazi regime headed up by a puppet president who no longer even has the semblance of legitimacy after cancelling elections last year and ruling by martial law.

If Trump is serious about ending the proxy war in Ukraine, he can do so promptly by ending the weapons flow to that country. His resumption of weapons supplies this week does not bode well.

Trump should also ignore the bleating of the European lackeys, in particular the British, who have nothing positive to offer. London was “intimately” involved in the latest ceasefire proposal from the U.S. and Ukraine, according to the BBC. That should be seen as a warning of a dirty trick.

It is a negative sign that the U.S.-Ukraine joint statement this week in Saudi Arabia peddled vile lies about Russia abducting Ukrainian children. It was also contemptible that the statement called for “future security guarantees for Ukraine” (the aggressor!) while saying nothing about Russia’s security concerns. The absence of the latter indicates the U.S. side has little understanding about “root causes” of the conflict.

Moreover, the U.S.-Ukrainian joint statement called for the involvement of European partners in peace talks. The present crop of European leaders has no intention or capability of negotiating a lasting peace with Russia. They insist on Ukraine becoming a future member of NATO and they want to insinuate themselves into the dialogue to scupper a peace deal by deploying “peacekeeping” troops. The British and French reportedly want the U.S. to provide air cover for what would be their trip-wire troop presence, thereby escalating the war.

Will Trump be duped by the perfidious British, French and other European Russophobes? Perhaps with a false-flag provocation?

American and European political leaders have negligible credibility for offering a ceasefire to Russia, never mind a durable peace. They started this war and surreptitiously want to continue it by other means under the guise of a peace process that does not address the root causes of conflict.

That implies that the only way to deal with the root causes and to establish a lasting peace is for Russia to defeat the NATO enemy with an explicit, unconditional surrender. Can Trump’s ego handle that?

Peace begins when the guns cease, but for true peace to last, the U.S.-led NATO war on Russia must be defeated. Can the U.S. imperial deep state handle that?

Either way, we will soon see.

…for Russia to defeat the NATO enemy with an explicit, unconditional surrender. Can Trump’s ego handle that?

It’s not only Trump, the West’s identity is now inextricably tied to not losing face in Ukraine. They went too deep, the hole can’t be abandoned or walked away from.

Based on the pre-war situation Trump is offering Russia quite a victory. But too much has happened in 2022-25 and it’s no longer enough to just win. The transformation of EU into a rabid, militaristic group of foaming Russo-phobes can’t be undone without more pain. It is the same madness that happened at the beginning of WW2 and few times previously – the fanatics are in charge and people are too intimidated, stupid, or hope there is victory at the end, so why worry. But this time they have few weapons.

In astro-physics there is an axiom: if there is no hole, there is nothing… Not quite the same with the Euro-elite, but if they would abandoned the hole they dug for themselves they would become nothings…So they will make sure it gets even more ugly.

Thereby explaining the crazy Dane PM who said that peace is worse than war and the German Intel chief hoping for the conflict to end in 2030.

Trump is wrestling with different views within his administration topped off with his very nature.

From the comments section of the below excellent overview:

The Ukrainians at the Jeddah meeting with Rubio and Walz ruled out territorial concessions and that NATO membership was off the table for Ukraine. Andriy Yermak wrote on his telegram channel, that he at the meeting also stated that Kiev would not “freeze” the conflict with Russia and would not agree on new Minsk like agreement, He also listed the three main conditions for a lasting peace as providing Kiev with security guarantees, strengthening European sanctions against Russia, and taking control of frozen Russian assets to “ensure continued and increased support for Ukraine.”
You could see on Rubio`s and Walz’s body language at the presser that the meeting had been a fiasco….but they lied about the meeting and went along with the EU hardliners and said that now the ball was in Russia’s court….and all the EU /NATO countries used that sentence……so scripted

March 14 NPR Segment

Re: https://www.ctpublic.org/2025-03-14/understanding-president-trumps-tough-approach-on-ukraine

One hokey segment which is to be expected from NPR. The US government has a case for cutting NPR-PBS funding. The hack journalism exhibited in that setting doesn’t better exhibit the finer points of journalism when compared to some others who’ve experienced McCarthyite scrutiny, c/o of Deep State/Biden admin actions.

Simply using the 2/24/22 start of Russia’s SMO as the beginning timeline is on par with doing likewise with Israel’s post-10/7/23 attack on Gaza.

Concerning Russia, the crock about it violating agreements without specifics and without mention of the violations (from the Collective West and Kiev regime) is standard propaganda. “Biden’s world” is one of war mongering neocon/neolib hypocrisy. We see how well the mouthing off at Putin has gone.

Zelensky got what he had coming to him at the Oval Office. Putin doesn’t carry on that way, thereby explaining Trump’s preference for him over Zelensky.

Maybe the reason the EU/UK elites are so hardline is that they are deep in the doo-doo through following US foreign policy slavishly for so long, including both provoking Russia (ever eastward NATO) and ignoring huge hits on them by the US (NS2), so that they now, in the post-Trump world, have only two possible policy choices (the third, saying “let’s be friends with Russia”, rapidly leading to arrest and potentially imprisonment – see Romania for details):

a) try and persuade the Donald that the only desire is to “Make Europe Great Again” and please please please stop the tariffs. Trouble is their elites have been slagging him off for so long now that your average Guardian commenter wouldn’t stand for it – or at least it would be a VERY hard sell, and always at the mercy of some minister, perhaps jockeying for personal position, saying “F*** Trump and all his works”.

b) and most likely, go all out on “the Russian threat”, and explain to their increasingly impoverished populations that the increased living standards they were promised at election time will sadly have to be put back a few years (read “decades” or “never”), because WE MUST REARM.
Not only that, but the threat is so great that many a sacred ox like healthcare, pensions or benefits must be gored.

They’re hoping that Trump is an aberration to be followed by a better master to their liking. The UK/EU elites like …. like Trump for pushing them to a higher defense expenditure.

…for Russia to defeat the NATO enemy with an explicit, unconditional surrender. Can Trump’s ego handle that?

It’s not only Trump, the West’s identity is now inextricably tied to not losing face in Ukraine. They went too deep, the hole can’t be abandoned or walked away from.

It is not Trump at all, in terms of identity. MAGA provides a clean break from the foreign controlled Biden regime. American is not in a hole and can easily walk away. This will restore national prestige and honour.

Not quite the same with the Euro-elite, but if they would abandoned the hole they dug for themselves they would become nothings…So they will make sure it gets even more ugly.

I concur.

The Islamophile Euro-elite are in a bind. They need the chaos to continue feeding their migration plans.

UK, France, and Germany have problems with their domestic economies. Will they borrow to prop up Führer Zelensky? It looks like Germany is in, based Merz recent deal with the pro-war Green party.
___

It is clear that Trump wants a fair resolution. However, he cannot force one if Europe is willing to continue dumping hundreds of billions of €uros a year into backing Kiev aggression.

How many U.S. “non combatants” are in Ukraine? That number is not public. Presumably Trump has his team working on an orderly withdrawal plan.

The option to persuade the Donald….please please… is almost impossible as long as Donald stays on the scene. And to go all out on the Russian threat requires a different Europe and will take 5-10 years. They don’t have time.

Euros will keep on noisily digging with few results. They know there is nothing for them once the Ukie project ends in failure. The hole is comforting and they are in it all together…Euros are all about comfort.

the threat is so great that many a sacred ox like healthcare, pensions or benefits must be gored.

Most of them have wanted to do that for a long time. When you scratch a globo-liberal there is a libertarian who wants to get out…it’s a natural progress. Libertarians are nothing else but liberals who are also assholes…looking at Starmer, Macron, Merz we know the Euro libertarian moment has arrived. But Euros can’t handle ideologies, it will be fun…:)

Never saw any of the Wishmaster movies and probably wouldn’t like them, but I would like to see someone revive the idea, taking advantage of the added lore found on X about djinn and djinnbrain.

In particular, perhaps, something connecting that guy who ran Pakistan’s nuclear program to djinn.

looking at Starmer, Macron, Merz we know the Euro libertarian moment has arrived.

Of all the things you could have chosen to criticize that trio, you have selected a very bizarre one. Barely any more coherent than saying that if you scratch under the surface, Maduro and Kim-Jong-Un are also disguised libertarians.

Why not focus on their pyromaniac initiatives wrt Ukraine instead? One may hate Putin and disagree with him as much as one wants but the reasons he’s publicly given a dozen of times for invading Ukraine are what they are. They are not a matter of opinion any more than the reasons Hitler gave for starting WW2 were.

Let us assume, for argument’s sake, that a hijacker storms my house and takes my wife hostage demanding that I stop seeing his wife altogether. I may despise this violent individual as much as I want. Perhaps I was only seeing his wife to discuss literature, nothing more. But if I offered him to move permanently into a bedroom of my house with his wife while we negotiate a peaceful settlement, nobody would believe that I was trying to diffuse the situation. Everybody with a sane mind would think that I was trying to escalate the standoff and prevent a solution.

That is exactly what Starmer, Macron et al are doing day after day with their proposal to station Western troops in Ukraine. I don’t know how the journalists covering these proposals manage not to laugh, honestly. I mean, if the Russians were OK with lots of Western troops stationed in Ukraine, I wouldn’t care either. None of my business. But how many times do they have to say that that is exactly what they were trying to prevent with their “SMO” and that they will consider them legitimate targets? What’s the point of pretending that they haven’t done so and that these initiatives are “peace proposals”?

Germany is basically hostage to American, Jewish power.

The Western Slavs like the Poles deliberately sabotage any reconciliatory action between Germany and Russia. Blowing up the Baltic Gas Nordstream2 like that ensured that the Poles could blackmail Germany with energy costs.

Germany and Russia should partition Poland. It would create a newEuropean golden age to dissolve that troublesome country.

Germany is basically hostage to American, Jewish power.

ROTFLMAO — You cannot be serious. Flip it around 180°.

Islamophile European elites, including Germany’s Scholz, ran the Biden regime for 4 years. They have been manipulating the U.S. for decades.

The Western Slavs like the Poles deliberately sabotage any reconciliatory action between Germany and Russia. Blowing up the Baltic Gas Nordstream2 like that ensured that the Poles could blackmail Germany with energy costs.

Claiming that Poland helped Ukrainian troops blow up 3 out of 4 NordStream tubes is a credible scenario for discussion.

America had absolutely nothing to do with it. The Polish message trying to congratulate the U.S. was an obvious & failed effort at blame shifting.

Germany and Russia should partition Poland. It would create a newEuropean golden age to dissolve that troublesome country.

It would be better to start the partitioning with Syria, Lebanon, and possibly Iraq. These are among the most troublesome countries around due to internal strife. A Maronite Christian Lebanon that excludes Muslims and IslamoGloboHomo could prosper.

PEACE 😇

America had absolutely nothing to do with (NordStream) it.

Why then Polish insect Sikorski leaked the secret “Thank you America”. Furthermore, the vegetable in WH said “We will destroy the NordStream”.

I finished perusing this amazing book. Assuming the author’s translations of the Arabic are accurate, it is a shocking expose of Islam and Mohammad. He goes far beyond my own study, which merely documents the Quran’s deviations from the Old and New Testaments. This short book forever destroys my infatuation with Islam and my desire to see it in a favorable light. You, of course, have always argued this point and I have repeatedly denounced and demeaned you and I deeply apologize for my foolishness!

(The version I have linked above is scanned from the original book, along with my annotations of typos I found in the text. The book has no copyright and I have attempted to contact the author, to no avail, so I feel it is justified upload this.)

Of particular interest to me is the brief section called ISLAM’S CONTRIBUTION TO HISTORY that argues that the Renaissance was fueled by the Fourth Crusade, in which scholars from the Byzantine Empire, who were fluent in Greek and familiar with the classics, were forcibly taken to Western Europe. I have extracted those few pages and linked as a separate pdf. The author argues that Islam has made virtually zero contributions to science art and technology, apart from what they absorbed from conquered civilizations.

The Middle East, especially Persia contributed a great deal to human development before the rise of Islam. Then everything there came to a grinding halt. The strict rules enforcing rules of behaviour on Muslims wiped out the ability to work creatively in scientific fields.

Is that a normal hat in Poland @1:06?

And what about the strange coat of that lady at @4:20?

you have selected a very bizarre one.

You have a soft spot for the private-sidewalks crowd…:) Libertarians have a few valid points – as do “greens”. But in practice it’s liberalism without the mitigating do-good social policies. The trio Starmer, Merz, Macron is defunding the social policies from ‘liberalism’ – what is left is a militaristic strip-to-the-bone liberalism. Other than the militarism, it’s similar to libertarianism. Euro-militarism is far-fetched anyway and that leaves only the dog-eats-dog classical liberalism. Or libertarianism. You can call them “commie left’ if you wish, but they look like the exact opposite. (Maduro is nowhere like that, I don’t know about the Norks, maybe.)

trying to escalate the standoff and prevent a solution.

I agree, they can’t imagine the war ending in a de facto Russian victory. The Euro proposals only purpose is to keep the war going hoping for a miracle of some kind.

Germany doesn’t have a political identity. This is half the trouble. The other half is Poland.

Eugyppius seems to agree with you that Germany is the source of the poz and should be dismantled and reconstituted by Trump.

Germany doesn’t have a political identity.

Germany’s political identity is IslamoGloboHomo. It is a core hatred of Judeo-Christians and their values. Angela Merkel gave up on concealment when she publicly launched her anti-Semitic “Welcome Rape-ugees” policy targeting Jews and Christians.

One cannot place 100% of the blame on Germany… There are other European participants in The Great Muslim Replacement program, most notably France and the UK.

Just make Poland go away. This was the solution in 1815.

As with anything of import one should dispense with emotionalism and answer this simple question:

Is the accusation true?

https://www.yahoo.com/news/analysis-trump-thaws-ties-russia-091337638.html

“London today, like on the eve of both World Wars of the last century, is acting as the main global ‘warmonger’.”

As Trump thaws ties, Russia has a new public enemy number one: Britain

LONDON (Reuters) -Two British diplomats expelled in a spying row. A blistering statement from Russia’s foreign intelligence service calling Britain “a warmonger.” And a threat from a top ally of Vladimir Putin to seize UK assets inside Russia.

As the U.S. under Donald Trump seeks to reset ties with Moscow and broker peace between Russia and Ukraine, Britain has been granted the status of Russia’s public enemy number one.

It’s a mantle it has held on and off over the past two centuries.

“London today, like on the eve of both World Wars of the last century, is acting as the main global ‘warmonger’,” Russia’s foreign intelligence service said in an unusually charged public statement on Monday. It accused London of trying to derail Trump’s efforts to broker peace in Ukraine.

“The time has come to expose them and send a clear message to ‘perfidious Albion’ and its elites: you will not succeed,” the agency, known as the SVR, said.

It did not elaborate on its objections to Britain’s behaviour prior to the two World Wars.

To be fair my understanding was that the Islamic countries kept the light of knowledge burning during what was called the Dark Ages in Europe.

Both these men were/are in reality aligned with British power. British elite loathed seeing RF and US getting on more friendly ground during the 1st Donald’s presidency. They see US and RF uniting their potential as a death sentence to British influence. When Mr Apfelbaum aka Sikorski, a British agent, tweeted his message, he was hammering a nail in the cover of the coffin of the potential Russian/American detente. In a sense, the whole current situation is UK against US. Who whom in the Anglosphere. Given that UK is not strong enough to rule, US (and everyone else) must be weakened. Wokism, BLM, Russiagate, Great Reset = British shit. Англичанка всегда гадит. It’s about time someone abolished the monarchy there and split the country according to ethnocultural divides. Make Scotland great again…

Of course.

Concerning a Kiev regime lie:

No. The problem is that Europe is living in the past when it had gold plated social services because the US taxpayer footed much of the bill for Europe’s defence, or put it another way deterring aggression against Europe. Now that it is being asked to keep Ukraine in the war for however long it takes against a burgeoning Russia, and continue to defend Europe, all the while being taken for granted, America has had enough.

Matters have reached a head now because, Russia was no match for America, but China is begining to look like it’s more than a match for the US. Europe is an economic dead zone and so is Russia which is much smaller. The terms of the current alliance (including the trade imbalances) are a drain on America’s resources. Every post war President since Eisenhower has been trying to get Europe to manage without US taxpayers. Now they are going to have to do it, which will entail cuts to social spending. Of course they are screaming like stuck pigs.

Why don’t you try offering something constructive instead of throwing stones?

What is your plan for Gaza? Here 4 key questions your plan must answer:

-1- How much fresh water will be available?
-2- How will the Gaza economy work?
-3- What population will that support?
-4- How will it be paid for?

Your biggest problem presenting your plan is the predicted Gaza population of 4+ million by 2050. If you insist on prohibiting emigration, your Gaza plan must accommodate everyone.

I reviewed the the Arab League / Egypt proposal here (1). Alas, the outline is quite weak. Even if housing is 100% delivered, which is unlikely, it only would support 1.6-2.0 million. Far short of the need. At least it is a first step towards long overdue discussions.

Why not try a *voluntary* program allowing Gazan parents to move their children to Muslim lands where they can assimilate? Even if only 1/2 *voluntary* relocated, it would make the situation on the ground more manageable for those who remain.

It’s very easy to complain about the situation. However, without a time machine, we cannot unwind prior decisions.

If you believe Islam is highly constructive and insightful — Would you please offer your practical & realistic Gaza plan? I made the same challenge to Bashi (1).

Gaza could be a successful Muslim colony with a population ~500K. However, the projected growth to over 4 million seems unworkable with the shortage of natural resources. Fresh water is the primary limitation, but not the only constraint.

If there is not enough water or space for the population in the historical Palestine-Israel (includes Gaza), it should be the recently arrived people who are impacted and not the people who have lived there for 1,000 years – natives are mostly Moslems, but many are Christians. You are advocating a settler colonialism of the 18.-19. century type – it doesn’t work in 2025. Since it isn’t working we are now seeing a move to an open genocide of the Palestinian natives.

You can try to hide behind your categorizations of other people’s religions but it doesn’t change the above reality. Many religious people are unsympathetic, with odd views and customs, it’s their business. How are the Mormon beliefs even remotely sane? Or the ongoing Christian-Zionist self-negation in the US? Let’s not even mention Hindus or charismatic pray-for-the-saints Catholics. The world is a big place with lots of strange customs. That doesn’t justify a genocide of the native Palestinians – and an expulsion (with some murders) is a genocide.

How are Christians, such as myself

No Christian worth his salt would delight in the Israeli slaughtering of Palestinian women and children. No Christian would approve of a discriminate destruction of civilian homes, schools and hospitals by the Tsahal occupation forces. Any Christian would decry the oppressive Israeli treatment of Arab Christians who, unlike the Ashkenazim, are the direct descendants of the first Christian communities of the Moddle East. Any Christian would oppose the burning of the Gospels by the radical Rabbis allied with the Jewish settlers.

1) You approve of the indiscriminate destruction of the property and murder of Arab civilians.

2) You do not decry the second class citizen treatment of the Arab Christians by the Settler State entity.

3) You do not oppose the slander of and the violence directed against the Christian Faith by the Judaic Zealots.

Therefore you are not Christian.

Many people questioned you being an American, and I suspend judgement on that. But I am 100% certain that you have no right whatsoever to claim a Christian identity. Before you do that, go and read the Gospels for Christ’s sake.

The British elite resent the ascendancy of the American ruling class since the end of the nineteenth century. They are doing everything they can to prevent America from becoming even stronger. They have always wanted Europe divided. They are more than anyone else responsible for WWI and WWII. Now they recklessly gamble on the brink of WWIII. All of this because they still want to be the top dog of the Global Elite as in the heydays of the British Empire on which the sun never set down.

I doubt your solution is going to work, but please lay out the practical & realistic details.

For a moral analysis, 1,000 years does not go back far enough. How many Muslims were in Palestine at the following dates:

— 400 BC?
— 200 BC?
— 0 BC/AD?
— 200 AD?
— 400 AD?

The answer in each case is ZERO. The inherently non-Palestinian religion of Islam arrived ~600 AD. There are only two native Palestinian religions still active today, Christianity and Judaism. This classifies the population into three religious categories(*):

• Palestinian Jews
• Palestinian Christians
• Non-Palestinian Muslims

Whys should the inherently non-Palestinian, foreign religion of Islam receive a priority claim on Christian and Jewish resources?

What you are constantly advocating is a settler colonialism of the 18.-19. century type – it can’t work in the 21. century. Because it isn’t working we are now seeing an open genocide of the natives.

You are embracing 6th century colonialism, but claim that what you define as current day “colonialism” is intolerable.

What time frame are you suggesting between “then & now”?

How long must indigenous Palestinian Jews have to hold their land until your ideological framework accepts their actions the way that 6th century ones are embraced?

Because it isn’t working

The factor preventing things from working is outside actors. The UNRWA dole presents what in the U.S. is called the “welfare trap”. Rewarding not working and having children that will grow up to be on the dole is a destructive cycle. The good news is that Palestine Jews are ejecting UNRWA and their dole. Those who want it will have to go elsewhere.

What works is self sufficiency. Please present your Gaza plan, or at least an outline, that would achieve this outcome.

I can envision options for Gaza to function around ~500K. There are beaches for leisure enterprises, sea for fishing, land for some agriculture, and the ability for some number to commute into Israel for daily work. There would be enough fresh water and electricity to keep such a population going.

That doesn’t justify a genocide of the native Palestinians – an expulsion (with some murders) is a genocide.

I agree. Indigenous Palestinians Jews and Palestinian Christians should not be forced from their land by Islam. The October 7 attack was an attempted genocide by Muslims. The response by indigenous Palestinian Jews is simply self defense against genocide.

(*) Yes, there are Druze, Bedouins, and other even smaller minorities. Trying to add them to the short, forum style discussions becomes exceedingly bulky & non-constructive. An academic paper would have to include them.

Former UK Foreign Secretary laughs out loud at Kier Starmer’s leadership fantasies:

I have not done any of the things you accuse me of.

Any Christian would oppose the burning of the Gospels by the radical Rabbis allied with the Jewish settlers.

I do oppose such actions. Christians in Muslim occupied Judea & Samaria are faced with an intractable problem.

• If they do not collaborate with the Muslim occupying authority they are punished.
• If they are forced to collaborate, indigenous Palestine Jews react.

Why do you support Muslim ethnic cleansing & genocide of Christians? The most obvious example of this is Bethlehem, which I have brought up multiple times. (1)

Seventy years ago, a significant number of Christians also called Bethlehem their permanent home; the population of the West Bank city and surrounding villages was nearly 90 percent Christian.

In 2016, the then-Mayor of Bethlehem, Vera Baboun, warned that the figure had dropped to 12 percent, or a mere 11,000 people.

Across the Palestinian Authority (PA)-administered West Bank, there are reported to be fewer than 50,000 Christians remaining, while in Gaza, which is ruled by the US-designated terrorist group Hamas, just 1,100 Christians are left.

According to global Christian charity Open Doors, this is actually the result of “Islamic oppression.”

Warning that Christians were leaving the West Bank in droves, the charity revealed that “Islamic extremist militants” were leaving Christians in fear of attacks, and said that the situation was even more perilous for converts to the religion, who face even worse brutality.

Another international nonprofit, The Voice of the Martyrs, which defends the rights of persecuted Christians, has collated numerous accounts of appalling abuse and torture meted out by the Palestinian Authority on its Christian minority.

One such testimony is that of Saif, a Christian convert from Islam, who lives near Bethlehem. He described how after being labeled a “Zionist infidel” by the Muslim muezzin (crier) over the mosque loudspeaker, he was summoned to the local police station. For weeks, he endured horrific torture, including being hung upside down for hours on end, threats of crucifixion, and violent interrogations.

Despite being released, PA forces continued to target him — and eventually, Saif was forced to flee to Jerusalem using a pass he had been issued for his work as a contractor.

Your local Muslim occupiers have suppressed celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth two years in a row. When will the Jihadist oppression and ethnic cleansing of Christians end?

Working with indigenous Palestinian Jews is the only option Christians, such as myself, have to rescue our land from Islamic colonial rule.

Would you please answer the question I posed, instead of lying and libelling me?

What is your plan for Gaza? Here 4 key questions your plan must answer:

I really hope we would all be laughing together about it in about a year’s time if the war is over. However, the British elites have historically proven their outstanding ability to manipulate others to fight and die for their interests, while they are actually planning to betray and backstab their allies.

Russians know it better than anyone, we fought alongside the British against Napoleon only to have the Great Game, Crimean War, British Empire saving Turkey from a decisive defeat and expulsion from Europe, Russian Japanese War with Japan being steered, armed and funded by the British. We fought alongside the British against the Kaiser and the Habsburgs only to have a revolution started by British agents provocateur faction in Petrograd, civil war, famine and a terrible totalitarian regime installed for generations. We fought alongside the British against Hitler only to have the Operation Unthinkable planned against us by the British General Staff and the Cold War against us declared by none other than Churchill.

Truly, as the saying goes: «there is only one thing that is worse than having the British as enemies, it is to have them as friends ». I think Trump and his backers (Musk, Thiel) understand this. I hope they will act accordingly.

All your comments were approving of the mayhem. You always applaud the Tsahal no matter how inhuman their actions. Therefore, you approved of civilians being slaughtered in Gaza.

Now, are you ever going to decry Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem spitting towards Christian churches, monks and nuns ?

Rhetorical question, you won’t because you can’t.

You can’t because you are a « Judeochristian » (notice the capital J and the small c) hasbara tool.

Never has a Muslim spat at churches because they consider them (and the Synagogues) as holy and are even allowed by the Shariah to pray in them if no mosque is available. That’s the difference between Jews and Muslims. Jews are inherently suprematist, the Muslims (for all their other many flaws and shortcomings) are not.

Now, if you ever want to really be a Christian, go and read the Gospels.

That should help with your misguided « Judeochristian » hasbarist mindset.

Business leaders are calling for as many as eight million non-Western migrants to be transplanted to Ukraine to mitigate the “demographic crisis” created by its three-year war with Russia. The news vindicates warnings from Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, that the conflict would be used as an excuse to transform the country.All-Ukrainian Association of Companies for International Employment chief Vasily Voskoboinik appeared on state television in February to push for mass migration, saying, “According to estimates by the International Organization for Migration”—a United Nations agency that preaches about immigration being “inevitable, desirable, and necessary”—” and the International Labour Organization, we will need 8.2 million workers.”

https://thenationalpulse.com/2025/03/15/kassam-vindicated-as-corporates-call-for-eight-million-migrants-to-replace-dead-ukrainians/

Was it worth it?

A rhetorical question.

As could have been expected, Voskoboinik is of course a (((Noviop))).

I wonder what was Voskoboinik’s מוטער maiden name…

Everyone sees your Taqiyya Troll ranting as a desperate & futile attempt to change the subject.

are you ever going to decry Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem spitting towards Christian churches, monks and nuns ?

Are you asking me to agree with Netanyahu? (1)

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke out Tuesday in defense of Christians and freedom of worship in Jerusalem, after a group of extremist Jews was filmed spitting on alleged Christian missionaries in the city.

“Israel is totally committed to safeguard the sacred right of worship and pilgrimage to the holy sites of all faiths,” he wrote on his official account on Twitter/X.

“I strongly condemn any attempt to intimidate worshippers, and I am committed to taking immediate and decisive action against it.”

Yes. I agree with Netanyahu that spitting at Christians is wrong.

He is a Jew. I am a Christian. Do you see how Judeo-Christians (note the capital “C”) come to the same conclusion?

Would you please answer the questions I posed?

Why do you support Muslim ethnic cleansing & genocide of Christians from Bethlehem? You have not actively denounced it. Therefore, you promote it.

This is what comes of sending hundreds of Valentine tanks and Matilda’s to defend Moscow during the winter of 1941. Oh and hundreds of hurricanes too.

Starmer and Macron continue to make plans for ‘peacekeeping’ troops in Ukraine while autiscally seeming to not hear Russia’s rejection of the same. Leads me to think they are planning on doing this unilaterally irrespective of Russian objections.

Macron, according to the article, says these troops are to be placed at ‘important locations’…as effective human shields?

https://www.yahoo.com/news/russia-no-deployment-foreign-peacekeeping-134750053.html

‘The Prime Minister revealed that Western military chiefs would meet in London on Thursday to plan for a peacekeeping force that was now entering an “operational phase”.’…’Mr Macron clarified that any peacekeeping force would consist of “a few thousand troops per country”, to be deployed at important locations.’

Russia has no say in deployment of foreign troops in Ukraine, says Macron

Emmanuel Macron has said that Russia will have no say in whether foreign troops are deployed to Ukraine to ensure a future ceasefire.

France, Britain, and other Nato countries, including Turkey, have expressed their willingness to contribute to a peacekeeping force to protect peace in post-war Ukraine.

“If Ukraine asks allied forces to be on its territory, it is not up to Russia to accept or not,” Mr Marcon told local press late on Saturday, ahead of another heavy round of aerial attacks between Russia and Ukraine.

Moscow has repeatedly rejected the idea of Nato soldiers being stationed in Ukraine, saying such a move would be a major escalation.

Mr Macron clarified that any peacekeeping force would consist of “a few thousand troops per country”, to be deployed at important locations. He added that a number of European and non-European countries were interested in participating.

Are there any ambitious young MP’s promoting the idea of getting Kazakhstan into NATO? There are levels of stupidity and craziness remaining to be explored!

…eight million non-Western migrants to be transplanted to Ukraine to mitigate the “demographic crisis” created by its three-year war with Russia.

Eight million non-Western workers, not migrants. With families, plus cheating, it would be in tens of millions.

The other shoe drops: plan a disaster, depopulate a country, then move in for the kill with “you now need new workers.” Ukraine has lost 15 million people in 25 years, how great has been the Ukie leadership? Are they natural traitors or they got paid so much they couldn’t refuse? But the Ukies jumping and yelling “kill Moskali!!!” on the Maidan and going to die in the muddy trenches for NATO also share in the blame. Must be the dumbest people on the planet.

There were always suspicions in Central Europe that the Westies want new territories to dump the unstoppable migrant flows – they tried quotas, shortage of (cheap) workers, blackmail, threats. It didn’t work, we are stubborn people. If they plant millions of migrants in the rump-Ukraine and give them EU resident status, the migrants will quickly move to CE. (There was also a suspicion that the empty lands will be “second homeland” for the chosen people, maybe that’s still coming.)

Good job by morons cheering on the war to kill the Russians, not knowing who wants to harm you is a serious evolutionary defect. Maybe the morons deserve it.

Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem spitting towards Christian churches, monks

That’s because the Haredi Jews are physically pacificists to anyone outside their community*, as they are controlled by their rabbis and they are disciplined as part of their religious cults to not be able to use violence.

Their rabbis order them to hiss, shout and spit if someone breaks their rules, but they are not allowed to use violence directly.

This creates the situation when hundreds of Haredi Jews in the protest can only shout or sit in the road.

You could go into the most “dangerous” Haredi area of Jerusalem, go where there full of people and burn a Torah. They would just surround you, but they wouldn’t be allowed to beat you.

–

Secular Israelis exaggerate a lot of the “danger” of the Haredim. They are a fiscal and demographic problem, with 8-9 children per woman. But they externally behave well and ordered, just according to their rules (which are strange for modern humans, as their children are smoking cigarettes in the street, but they are not allowed to look at woman with short sleeves).

For example, there are over a hundred thousand Haredim living next to Tel Aviv, without changing the city. They just walk through the city to use the Haredi beach and then walk back to their suburb.

Like many religious cults, violence in their community is against their own cult members, who are the victims. But from the external world, they just want to be isolated.

–

*They are allowed to use violence to people inside their community. A lot of their behavior is related to stopping people exiting the cult. That’s one reason they don’t want outsider to enter their neighborhood.

If women in a bikini would enter their neighborhood (like secular Israelis often walk in bikinis in the street), that makes it difficult for them to even move normally, as they would have to close their eyes. They would consider all their children in danger etc.

**

When the Haredi “special forces” raiding groups attack Sabbath breakers in Jerusalem, secular people just laugh, because they know Haredi Jews are pacifists to outsiders, they aren’t allowed to use physically violence.

It’s like zombie apocalypse against the secular world, if the zombie have no teeth and they are physically harmless.

Ukraine War is forcing British troops to relearn trench warfare…

I can’t help but notice in this clip, like the ‘Russian armada’ passing through the English channel clip a few weeks ago, that they make sure to have an actual real organic British person be the presenter, a woman at that, to tug at the real British male heartstrings, rather than a preferred ‘identifiable minority’ from Nairobi, or the subcontinent.

It’s pretty obvious just who they want to be doing the bulk of the fighting…and dying…in this impending war.

People still have their right of refusal.

There were always suspicions in Central Europe that the Westies want new territories to dump the unstoppable migrant flows.

…

If they plant millions of migrants in the rump-Ukraine and give them EU resident status, the migrants will quickly move to CE.

You underestimate the malice of the Islamophile elites.

They do not want flows to CE. They want to accelerate The Great Muslim Replacement, especially in Germany and France. They are trying to reach a tipping point where remigration becomes impossible.

History will look back on the Russia/Ukraine conflict and see it as the migration war.

Have you heard about the upcoming referendum in Italy? (1)

Italy will hold a referendum on June 8-9 to decide whether to halve the waiting period for foreigners applying for Italian nationality, the government announced on Thursday.

If approved, the reform would reduce the required residency period to five years, potentially granting citizenship to around 2.5 million foreign nationals.

The referendum was triggered after opposition parties and pro-migrant organizations, including Oxfam Italia, collected more than 500,000 signatures last September, meeting the legal threshold for a public vote.

Despite strong opposition from the ruling Brothers of Italy (FdI) party, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, the government was obligated to set a date for the vote after a ruling from the Constitutional Court in January approved its admissibility.

Currently, foreigners must reside in Italy for at least 10 years before applying for citizenship through naturalization. Children born in Italy to foreign parents are also unable to obtain citizenship until they turn 18.

His city Zamosc, near the border with Ukraine and Belarus:

What we perceive today as “Central European culture”, is spreading from the bourgeois culture of the Italian city states to the bourgeoisie of Europe. This is the culture developing in the urban elite, burghers of the Italian city states.

Of course, even in the Early Modern time, for example the Moscow Kremlin was built by Italian architects.

18th-19th century Central Moscow is also Italian architecture, which hired some famous Italian urban planners, as Petersburg.

Russian Orthodox Church music is also Italian origin music.
–

But outside of showcase of Central Moscow and Petersburg, the Italian influence is relatively a lot smaller in the Russia empire than in Europe which is probably result of the delayed and eventually interrupted development of bourgeois capitalism in Russia compared to central Europe and Western Europe.

Grafton Street in Dublin that had Polish and Russian speaking staff

Those are all EU citizens, who have the same right to live and work in ROI as any Irish citizens.

Poles are probably the largest group of the working class professionals, but there are a lot of the citizens of the Baltic states. Working class Russian speaking professionals in Ireland are EU citizens from Latvia, Estonia.

–

But Russians from the Russian Federation in ROI are almost only entering on the critical skills permit.

Although the numbers are very small, the Russians in Ireland, from Russia (mostly all middle class workers, because of the closed borders), don’t seem falling into any Russian ghetto. They are just standardly mixed with their multinational co-workers.

I know. I wouldn’t like to belittle the differences because I am used to people belittling the differences between Basques and Spaniards out of ignorance.

The difference between Basque people and Spanish people, is like the difference between Mordvins and Russians. Udmurts and Russians in the Russian Federation. Welsh and English. Scottish and English in the United Kingdom.

But the difference between Russians and Poles (from Poland), is like the difference between Spanish, Italians, Greeks etc, from Spain, Italy, Greece.

–

You can see Spanish, Italians, Greeks, look almost the same. They eat similar food. They follow almost the same customs. They have the same larger religious origin. They drink wine in the same way.

But they are also independent worlds, with almost their own civilization. Their sense of humor is different, their bodylanguage different. They have different mentality. They have different traditions in art, literature and music.*

–

The imbalance is a little different though for neighbors or previously occupied parts of the Russian empire, because Russia is a vast nationality, with hundreds of millions of people with civilization from Baltic sea on Riga to the Northern Islands to Japan. Russian civilization goes from the border of Iran to the Arctic.

Russia viewed itself as an imperialist world civilization. While Poland as a nationalist culture of Central Europe.

–

*As you know in Russia, the older culture software arrives from the Byzantine empire. For example, Andrei Rublev is painting in mainly Byzantine influence. In modern history, the rulers are layering Western and Central European culture above.

Each century Russian peasants are always being settled to new lands, also Cossacks ahead, while Ukrainians are being imported to Central Russia.

So, Russian peasant culture develops a lot of “pioneer culture” aspects, which can remind of American settlers. Also, Russia has for a long time a strong criminal culture produced in the prisons and bandit culture from Cossack pioneers. The criminal society in Russia is always a parallel world.

As an empire, it also tries to absorb different multinational traditions from the nationalities who are colonized. It’s a kind of sponge culture.

Until the middle of the 19th century, landowners in Russia have almost half of the population as slaves. Landowners’ own culture, develops in some ways almost like in Brazil or antebellum Southern States. The culture of the Russian elite is based on France and England, but their real political situation is quite unsynchonized to Europe.

He is a Jew. I am a Christian.

Whatever your religion, you will not escape Death. As we discuss, the Death is inescapably closing on both of us. Here’s what I have to say to you about it:

1. Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought. If with an impure mind a person speaks or acts suffering follows him like the wheel that follows the foot of the ox.

2. Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought. If with a pure mind a person speaks or acts happiness follows him like his never-departing shadow.

3. “He abused me, he struck me, he overpowered me, he robbed me.” Those who harbor such thoughts do not still their hatred.

4. “He abused me, he struck me, he overpowered me, he robbed me.” Those who do not harbor such thoughts still their hatred.

5. Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is a law eternal.

6. There are those who do not realize that one day we all must die. But those who do realize this settle their quarrels.

Battle of the Nations

Great Britain Denmark
Russia Belarus

I could (sort of) understand the Great Game and even our intervention on Turkey’s side – we were a global Empire, a Great Power, and while the fear of a Russian descent upon India was probably overblown, it was the sort of thing Brits might have done in their place.

But we’re not a Great Power any more, far from it. Turkey is probably more industrialised than the UK now. So I fail to see the point in the anti-Russia stuff, especially as the US has suddenly apparently abandoned it.

Given the inexorable rise of China, it would have made sense for both the US and EU to have encouraged peaceful and profitable relations with Russia. Instead they’ve done the opposite, although I think the US were the main movers.

But it would also have made sense not to open the borders and set the US, UK and EU on the path to third world status. And yet our elites did it. The damage they’ve done to Russia is nothing compared with the damage they’ve done to their own nations.

They may hate Russia, but they hate their own people even more.

I’ve posted this 1920 book review before, though below ‘more’ I’ve added a few additional excerpts.

In these the incredibly insightful author alleges Versailles was not ‘an accident’ but rather quite deliberate in it’s design so as to cause future catastrophic European wars, from which the US could then exploit for it’s own gain, that these incited wars are intended via loss of life and immigration, combined with decreasing birth rates, to bring ruin to the peoples of Europe, and that in the future Japan(!) might be a roadblock for the United States, but not much of one.

The 1920 book reviewed was called Pax Americana: A Historical Study at the Turning Point of European History and was written by a German professor.

The New York Times owned publication this review appeared in dismisses both the author and the book’s contents as ‘alarmist’, ie ‘Don’t listen to this man, or anything he might have to say’, and adds:

‘A cynic among nations, she [Germany] is temperamentally incapable of believing in altruistic motives.’

‘All Europe is on the point of falling into servitude to the United States, whose whole international policy, he asserts, is an embodiment of State Machiavellianism aimed at complete world domination.’

‘Thus America has become the supreme dictator, and she need not trouble herself tö make this concrete; following the example of Rome, she can allow the nations of Europe to preserve a shadowy vestige of independence, exhaust themselves in mutual onslaughts, and become the helpless victims of her economic and financial domination.’

‘Under the American world rule all culture, all freedom of life, all beauty will depart.’

America as a World Tyrant

A German Historian’s Attempt to Prove That Europe is Becoming a Serf of the United States

That the United States, in the role of a modern Machiavelli, is scheming succesfully to subjugate the whole of war-weakened Europe, is the startling thesis put forward by Dr. Ulrich Kahrstedt, a German historian, in his amazing book, “Pax Americana,” which has just appeared in Germany.*

According to this German alarmist, all Europe is on the point of falling into servitude to the United States, whose whole international policy, he asserts, is an embodiment of State Machiavellianism aimed at complete world domination.

This sensational charge, worked out with characteristic German “Gründlichkeit,” is based throughout on a historical analogy between the methods by which Rome won her universal hegemony and those by which, since the outbreak of the war in 1914, the United States Government has acquired power of dictation in the political and financial affairs of weakened Europe – a degree of power, he says, without precedent since the days of the Roman Empire. According to Dr. Kahrstedt, Pax Americana is the modern translation of Pax Romana.

“We will dismantle the financial machine that has used corrupt dollars to buy politicians, judges, journalists, pseudo-NGOs and political activists. We will eliminate the entire shadow army.”

‘On Saturday, Orbán, a firm opponent of immigration, echoed the conspiratorial “great replacement theory,” a baseless, racist hypothesis which suggests there is a global plot to diminish the influence of white people.’

Hungary’s Orbán, facing opposition surge, promises crackdown in speech laden with conspiracy theory

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary’s populist prime minister Saturday vowed to rid his country of those he claims work for the interests of foreign powers, saying in a conspiracy theory-laden speech that his right-wing government will eliminate a global “shadow army” that serves the European Union and a “liberal American empire.”

Meanwhile, tens of thousands gathered in central Budapest in a show of strength against the long-serving prime minister, and in support of a new political force that aims to bring an end to Orbán’s rule and his economic system in elections next year.

The dueling demonstrations, which coincided with a national holiday commemorating Hungary’s 1848 revolution against the Habsburg Empire, came as the Central European country struggles with an inflation and cost of living crisis that have helped fuel growing dissatisfaction with Orbán and his autocratic style of governance.

I agree, the medieval monarchy is morphing into insignificant little England. There is no force to stop it.

Not entirely baseless, he rightfully envisioned the following scenario.

The calendar will say 2205 and big news will flash throughout the world: “In a small enclave in northern Scandiastan formerly Sweden a rare people with white skin and straight hair were found.” Descendants of once great white race, apparently used to fly airplanes, shit in toilets and have developed a well-advanced wireless technology. All that abandon now for praying to a certain camel shepherd. The exceedingly unworried race was eventually overrun by vindictive, envious but skilful looters flooding this, once great, continent.

There is no force to stop it.

But they do their best to prevent it. And being the lizard people they are, they might destroy the planet in the process.

Speaking of British Reptilian Overlords, I once had an interesting experience while commuting on the London tube. There was a weird ageless, genderless creature sitting in front of me, fashionably dressed, wearing makeup and expensive jewelry. A guy my age came in and sat beside that person (?). The dude started to bite into an apple, and every time he bitten it, the freak in front of me twitched and made little hissing noise of disgust. It was so weird, that creature didn’t seem really human. The apple eating dude noticed the weirdo, and when that freak exited the wagon, the guy smiled at me and shrugged his shoulders. All the while I was thinking: « wow, David Icke was actually right, they really do exist and hide in here ».

The Royals love their Noviop pets…

What is your plan for Gaza?

Unlike you, I don’t feel like I need to have a plan to save some murderous Semites from some other murderous Semites. If I wasn’t a Buddhist, I would say « kill them all, both the settlers and the natives, let the Demiurge sort it out and save his own ». Being a compassionate Buddhist I am, I would really love to force them all there to study the Dhammapada and make them understand the law of causality, so they stop stirring trouble and hurting each other. Unfortunately, this is above my pay grade. We’ll have to wait and hope for these feral Semites to eventually evolve into humans… 🙂

Bashammad,

I accept your surrender.

Your admission that your devotion to Islamobuddhism has no answer is appreciated.

As part of your capitulation, please stop trying to take the side of genocidal Hamas. If you have nothing offer, then your only course of action is remaining fully out the discussion. You have no standing to support/criticise any side.

PEACE 😇

Western pundits should stop writing idiotic nonsense about Russia’s economy

In this war of attrition, Ukraine, and Europe, will run out of money first.

From an extremely small list, Owen Matthews has been one of the more balanced mainstream commentators on the war in Ukraine. Not seeking to take one side over the other, but to step back and look at the bigger picture.

I was shocked, therefore, by his article in the Independent this week.

‘The Russian economy is on the brink of collapse, and Putin knows it,’ ran the headline.

I’ve read a different version of the same headline over a hundred times since 2014, including while serving as the Economic Counsellor at the British Embassy in Moscow.

I am still waiting for it to be proved correct.

Firstly, some of the data in Matthews’ article were objectively not correct.

The ‘ruble has lost over half its value since Putin invaded Crimea in 2014.’

Wrong. It is around one third of its spring 2014 value. And as I’ve pointed out many times, a weak ruble has been an explicit article of Russian monetary policy since late 2016, to offset the effect of major energy price swings. That helped Russia pull in record tax receipts in 2022 because of the potent combination of sky high energy prices and rock bottom ruble rate. That’s basic economics.

‘Over $600bn of the Kremlin’s foreign currency reserves have been frozen in Western banks,’

Wrong again. The figure is less than $300bn, and Russia still retains the same value of available reserves, that would cover over a year’s worth of imports.

I could go on but won’t. Matthews is known as an historian, not an economist. I don’t claim to be an economist either, but I can count.

In broad terms, I don’t dispute the economic headwinds that Matthews points to, albeit clumsily. Domestic labour constraints driven by the war and Russia’s secular population decline are a problem. Massive fiscal stimulus is overheating the economy with inflation high. Although I’d argue that 9% isn’t ‘rampant’; one million percent in Venezuela is rampant.

However, Russia has been here before. Inflation breached the 9% mark in November 2014 following the oil price collapse, and didn’t fall below that level until early 2016. It peaked again at the start of the war in Ukraine hitting 18%. Interest rates in Russia now are extremely high at 21% but, again, they were hiked to 17% in December 2014.

It isn’t incorrect for Matthews to point out these legitimate economic challenges. The point is that neither inflation nor interest rates will ever be a strong enough reason for President Putin to change course in Ukraine.

Not now, not in 2014, not at any point since the Ukraine crisis started. He has always chosen to accept economic pain and manage the political consequences of that, to avoid backing down in the face of western economic pressure.

Like so many mainstream pundit, Matthews briefly sketches the economic fix Ukraine is in before hurrying along as if there’s ‘nothing to see here’.

Conveniently, he doesn’t explore the mathematics of how Europe will pay to keep the lights on in Kyiv while also funding Von der Leyen’s $800bn rearmament programme.

Nor has he considered what this would mean for ordinary European citizens who increasingly question the wisdom of funding a forever war that Ukraine cannot win.

Or considered the link between self-defeating war policy of identikit globalist European leaders and the rise in the popularity of anti-war nationalist parties all across Europe.

Owen Matthews doesn’t touch on Ukraine’s looming sovereign default and the collapse of its currency that would follow. Or the concern that, with a structural current account deficit, Ukraine has no way to exist as an independent, sovereign nation, other than, you guessed it, through western state handouts. Nor how the immense cost of bailing Ukraine out would fall on Europe on top of the contingent liabilities already enumerated above.

Rather, Matthews suggests that Europe needs to do more of what is has been doing for the past eleven years without success. More sanctions, even though over 90% of individual sanctions have absolutely no effect.

He doesn’t reflect on the fact that Russia has been under sanctions for eleven straight years, is the most sanctioned country on the planet, and yet is still growing faster than Europe, even though that growth is undoubtedly built on fiscal sand.

Yet still, finally and irrevocably, he suggests Europe could cut itself off completely from Russian gas. No need to dwell on the obvious economic truth that higher-cost energy in Europe is driven by a huge imbalance between supply and demand that neither the U.S. nor Russia experiences. No thought given to the notion that Europe’s deindustrialisation has been accelerated by the political choice to cut off 90% of piped Russian gas supplies.

As every other mainstream British pundit has called for more sanctions and less gas, Owen Matthews has plumped for the easy option too.

Presumably to show some value-added in his low-calorie commentary, Owen Matthews supports Ukrainian drone attacks on any energy infrastructure that facilitates the delivery of Russian gas to Europe. Clearly impressed by the destruction of the NordStream pipeline, like a spotty-faced teenager watching a Seventies Bond movie, he considers industrial terrorism to be a legitimate policy choice for western leaders.

I would like to say that his article was terrible. But in truth, it was no different from practically every other mainstream British Glavlit article on Russia’s economy that I’ve seen over the past eleven years.

And, the thing is, it isn’t that it was littered with data that was objectively untrue.

It was not the not the lack of economic analysis, or the failure to explore the greater economic challenge facing Ukraine.

It was not, even, the crass and frankly dangerous policy prescriptions.

It was that, like so many other journalists I had thought weaker, Owen Matthews was missing the point. Badly, irresponsibly, and idiotically, missing the point.

Despite the very clear economic challenges that Russia does face because of the war in Ukraine, its economy will always be better placed to manage the shock of war than Ukraine’s.

Every argument to punish Russia more will only embolden Putin to keep fighting.

In this war of attrition, Ukraine, and Europe, will run out of money first. And with Trump shutting off the taps of American money, that crunch point will come much sooner.

What has it all to do with them spitting on Christians?

Haredim spit, shout or hiss at people wearing the Christian uniform in Jerusalem because they aren’t allowed to do anything physically to stop them. They have to do non-violent indicators of disapproval.

People are breaking their rules all the time, but they are just raising their tail like a peacock, they aren’t allowed to touch outsiders. Even if you open a shop on Sabbath day.

It’s one of the reasons they are harmless.

A lot of people from different parts on the internet are talking about scary Haredim or showing videos of them. It’s pretty delusional.

It’s true they are internally fanatics who are part of extremists religious cults, but they are also harmless to outsiders. The danger is to insiders, who are born in the cult.

Just walk in a Haredi area if you visit Israel. I would say the places with Haredim are probably some of the safest urban places in the world, maybe outside an Amish village, or Mormon missionary center.

I would recommend visit Haredi areas as one of the strange relaxing things to do as a tourist in Israel. Even if you burn a Torah there, you’ll just receive spit.

What happened with the relations is sad, and now he doesn’t enjoy nowadays the visits to eat dinner with the nephews and nieces of the Romanov family, which hadn’t been since Alexandre II in 1874.

Queen of England’s husband Prince Philip, was a Romanov cousin on all sides of his family. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Philip,_Duke_of_Edinburgh

he doesn’t enjoy nowadays the visits to eat dinner with the nephews and nieces of the Romanov family, which hadn’t been since Alexandre II in 1874.

They’re cousins in a hundred different ways.

For an example, the great-grandmother of King Charles, is the granddaughter of Nikolai I, who is the great-great-greatgrandfather of King Charles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olga_Constantinovna_of_Russia#Family_and_early_life

So, the brother of Alexandre II who was the last Russian leader to have royal visit in London in 1874, is the great-great grandfather of King Charles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duke_Konstantin_Nikolayevich_of_Russia

Putin would seem like a strange and artificial outsider person for British Royal Family, when the traditional situation of British royalty meeting the leader of Russia, is family visit from their cousin (or multiple overlapped cousin as the royal families are inbreeding a thousand times).

Putin would seem like a strange and artificial outsider person for British Royal Family, when the traditional situation of British royalty meeting the leader of Russia, is family visit from their cousin (or multiple overlapped cousin as the royal families are inbreeding a thousand times).

I mentioned this aspect a thread or two ago. Putin may have some attraction to the monarchical principle, but he may still be seen as a usurper because his advent to power is too recent.

In the past usurpers and regicides were punished even after death:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Cromwell%27s_head

The current British royal family do owe their position to a kind of usurpation, when the legitimate king James II was deposed and chased away from Britain and Ireland in 1688-90. This eventually brought the Hanoverians to the British throne, their descendants have been there since. It seems like time consecrated this infringement of the usual principles of legitimacy, and also James II belonged to the wrong religion.

The perfect Worldview.

You’re not wrong.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzhou_Industrial_Park

All correct points, but his support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a country far more Christian than Russia (in terms of demographics and in terms of how devout it’s Christians are) is another giveaway that he is no Christian.

I will add a caveat, that Palestinian Christians (the true natives of Israel) are rather ambivalent about Israel vs. Muslim Palestinians. Not on Israel’s side (like the non-Christian A123) but not completely against. They are stuck in the middle.

Yeah, but the British Royals refused to accept the Romanovs as refugees when the Bolshevik offered them to transfer the Tsar’s family to Britain. It directly led to their execution at the hands of a Bolshevik squad that was mostly Jewish. So basically, not only had the British government approved and supported the 1905 and 1917 revolutions in Russian Empire, but the British Royals also had no problem with Judeobolshevik thugs killing their cousins. Then the Royals managed to get their hands on some of the Crown Jewels of the last Romanovs and had no qualms about wearing them on important occasions. Nothing personal, business only. Noblesse oblige et tout le bazar.

Lizard people…

Queen of England’s husband Prince Philip

Yeah, the nice guy who once joked that he wished to be reincarnated as a virus virulent enough to wipe out the whole mankind and save the nature from the human plague.

Lizard people.

Re. Pynya’s visit to UK, if my memory serves me correctly, it was his first official visit abroad after being appointed (not elected) to the presidency. I guess the British wanted to redirect to the City some of the flows of mafia money that were exiting RusFed towards NY to be laundered. They succeeded, hence the Noviop Londongrad infatuation. But Pynya has always been much more of a Germanophile, to the point of being accused of having been a BBD double agent in his younger years after having had an affair with that Anchen (code named Balcony for her curvaceous body) BND agent translator that he put pregnant in Dresden. The British didn’t manage to make him into an agent of a new British Raj. Probably that’s why they hate and despise him so much.

Trial by fire: Why the West won’t admit the truth about the 2014 Odessa massacre

Even the European Court of Human Rights has found Ukraine guilty over the Trade Union House deaths, but Kiev and its backers remain silent

A sure sign that a news item inconvenient for Zelensky-regime Ukraine and its (remaining) Western supporters is important is that the Western mainstream media will do their best to ignore it. That rule has now held true for more than a decade. At some point in the future, it may stop operating, namely, if the West fully abandons its proxy war regime in Kiev.

Then, and only then, will the Western media heed a new “party line” by dumping that regime as well. But we are not there yet. Indeed, if it is up to the NATO-EU Europeans it may still be a long time before we will see Western mainstream media treating Ukrainian regimes truthfully and critically.

Exhibit A that the kid-gloves-for-Kiev rule is still in force: The way in which Western mainstream media audiences are not getting to hear much about a clearly momentous and, in its political implications, far-reaching finding by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR): A few days ago, the court decided an extremely important case against the Ukrainian authorities of both the major port city of Odessa and the capital Kiev.

The essence of the case and the court’s findings, which are available on its website, is not complicated. The Ukrainian authorities abysmally failed to avoid or respond adequately to severe street violence and killings that took place in Odessa in May 2014 between supporters and opponents of the regime change operation commonly known as “Maidan.”

Subsequently they also obstinately failed to investigate the incident. In other words, they first messed up criminally – or worse – and then engaged in a cover-up for over a decade. Not a minor issue if you consider that hundreds of victims were injured and 48 killed on that day.

Twenty-eight plaintiffs from Ukraine had challenged these failures of Ukraine’s current regime before the EHCR. After too many years of deliberation the court has now finally recognized – unanimously, including a Ukrainian judge – that the Ukrainian authorities committed “violations of Article 2 (right to life/investigation) of the European Convention on Human Rights, on account of the relevant authorities’ failure to do everything that could reasonably be expected of them to prevent the violence in Odesa on 2 May 2014, to stop that violence after its outbreak, to ensure timely rescue measures for people trapped in the fire, and to institute and conduct an effective investigation into the events.”

In addition, in one case, a “violation of Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life)” was also found because of a delay in handing over a victim’s body for burial.

Take a step back and just consider the bare essentials: Unrest and mass killing have occurred, in a major city, too. And the public authorities of the state concerned have never provided a remotely adequate investigation or legal redress: Victims and their relatives were left without justice, perpetrators without punishment. In any country that is not content with being a failed state, an authoritarian swamp, or both, the above alone would be a scandal rocking and toppling governments.

But not in post-Maidan Ukraine. There, instead, major media, such as Ukrainska Pravda, for instance, are performing acrobatic mental contortions to protect their regime from the fallout of the ECHR decision. And how do they do so? By blaming the big bad Russians, of course. Because the very mature first principle of Ukrainian “agency” still is: If it succeeds, it was us; if it’s a fiasco, it was the Russians’ fault. So much for Ukraine’s “free” media and “civil society.” Yes, that’s sarcasm; yes, it’s richly deserved.

Those few Western mainstream media that have not entirely ignored the ECHR decision have, unsurprisingly, employed a similar tactic of obfuscation. Thus, Germany’s Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung does acknowledge that the ECHR “has condemned the Ukrainian authorities,” but reverts to common places about alleged Russian involvement to cushion the blow.

In reality, the court did go out of its way to find something negative to say about Russia, vaguely but demonstratively pointing to Moscow’s information warfare and intentions to “destabilize” Odessa. Yet when you read the ECHR’s press release on its decision honestly, one thing is perfectly clear: the gesturing toward Russia is unspecific and, in essence, rhetorical. It reads as if the judges felt they had to keep up appearances.

If anything, what we learn from these obligatory swipes at Russia is only one thing, namely that the ECHR is biased against it. Big surprise. And the real take-away point then is, of course, that the judges still found massively, comprehensively against the Ukrainian authorities. Even an anti-Russian bias could not sway them – to their credit – from acknowledging reality.

On May 2, 2014, that reality was gruesome: in clashes between pro-Maidan and anti-Maidan protesters, some died from gunshot wounds, but the preponderant majority, 42, of the victims died in a fire in the Odessa House of Trade Unions that broke out during and because of the fighting. While some of the fire’s victims received help from outside, others were deliberately blocked up in the burning building or beaten savagely when they escaped it.

The fire, in other words, may have been the result of deliberate arson or it may have started semi-accidentally when Molotov cocktails were deployed by both sides. But the key point is that it was not merely an accident. At least once it was blazing, it was a weapon because that’s how it was used. How do we know this? In case of a genuine accident, everyone helps put a fire out. Yet that was not at all the case here. Even police and fire services deliberately refrained from intervening.

Both sides fought, but the victims of the fire and thus almost all victims on May 2, belonged to the anti-Maidan side, which was far inferior in numbers and systematically demonized as “pro-Russian,” that is, smeared as “traitors.” And that is, of course, the reason why their relatives cannot receive justice in Ukraine and why those who killed or helped kill these victims are not prosecuted: they belong to the side which was in power then and is still in power now.

The West has its own reasons to ignore this ECHR finding: its whole narrative of why it went to proxy war against Russia in Ukraine is shot through with lies: beginning with the Maidan Massacre of February 2014, which was blamed on the old regime but really committed by pro-regime change, pro-Western snipers, as Ivan Katchanovski has long shown in painstaking detail.

Think about it: This was a false-flag operation that greatly helped catalyze a large regional war, pitting Ukraine and the West against Russia, with a clear potential of escalation to World War III. And the West will still not correct the record.

And in this enormous Western information war offensive, misrepresenting the Odessa killings of May 2014 has been almost as important as covering up the true nature of the Maidan Massacre in Kiev just over two months before.

Now, with the proxy war being lost for Ukraine and its Western supporters, an honest reckoning with these deceptions would expose how we were lied into it. And that is precisely why it cannot happen. At least not yet: Too many American, European, and Ukrainian politicians, generals, experts, journalists, and academics have too much to lose.

This absence of truth and justice can lead to more killing. In Odessa, one of the pro-Maidan street fighters of May 2014 has just been gunned down in broad daylight: Demyan Ganul was an open and proud far-right extremist and neo-Nazi, tattoos and all. He led his own outfit, called the Street Front and made a habit out of mocking the victims of the Trade Union House fire by having barbecue parties in front of the building on the fire’s anniversaries. He was generally violent, allegedly not only beating but also raping victims, including males. He terrorized others into fighting in the war. In his spare time, he toppled Russian monuments.

The Ukrainian authorities have announced that the investigation of Ganul’s end is now under the personal supervision of Interior Minister Igor Klimenko. The priorities of the Zelensky regime are ugly and unsurprising.

his support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine

A Christian should not cheer the killing of Christians by other Christians. A Christian should not divide Christians by nationality. It’s written in the Gospel: « there will be neither Greek, nor Jew or Scythian… ». Christianity and Islam are universal religions that attempt to erase the tribalism and nationalism. For a true believer, Russians or Ukrainians it’s all the same. A Christian should mourn their dead and pray for the peace to prevail.

Speaking of which:

Re. Christian Arabs, they belong in Palestine much more than the Ashkenazim who are genetically 75% non-Semitic. And yeah, they would of course prefer staying clear of the Islamic rule, but unfortunately for them, the Christendom has lost that region a long time ago. The fact that the Christian Arabs have survived the Islamic rule there for nearly 1500 years, is proof enough that the Muslims never attempted at genociding them. If they’ve wanted, the Muslims would have easily done to Christian Arabs exactly like the Spanish did to Moriscoes. Al Andalous Muslim community got entirely erased, unlike the Middle Eastern Christians.

In British culture spitting on someone is pretty much equivalent to punching them, probably worse. I wouldn’t call it non-violent.

Re the Royal Family, they have to do the politico’s bidding, more than ever these days.

Who’s the royalty in this pic?

“the nice guy who once joked that he wished to be reincarnated as a virus virulent enough to wipe out the whole mankind and save the nature from the human plague”

Some of this AIDS stuff really makes foreign aid seem absurd. Like wasn’t there actually some place the US put up a billboard saying “don’t rape babies?”. How can anyone think that statebuilding is possible in such a place? Instead of sending tractors and industrial equipment, we are spending billions trying to alter the effects of people’s abhorrent sexual practices.

@Torna
Didn’t realize there was any place like that nearer Shanghai.

A Christian should not cheer the killing of Christians by other Christians. This is why I, as a Christian, have never “cheered” deaths on either side.

I have always maintained that it is sad that Führer Zelensky, enemy of Judeo-Christians, orders the deaths of Russian Christians. It is doubly sad that he is expending Ukrainian Christians to do so.

Ukrainian Christians need to get rid of the post-Judaic apostate, Führer Zelensky, and his Islamophile European puppet masters. They would do much better with Judeo-Christian leadership that would make a fair peace with Russian Christians.
___

Do you oppose the Muslim ethnic cleansing of Christians from Bethlehem? I posted the article describing it above (1).

Bashi cheers on Muslim intimidation and exclusion of Palestinian Christians. He will not denounce this ethnic cleansing. Everyone rational sees that he is a Taqiyya Troll who hates Judeo-Christians.

Be cautious, Bashi will turn on you too when it serves the greater glory of his colonial prophet, Muhammad the Settler. He probably has his eye on several Ukrainian cities right now, plotting to convert them with millions of Muslim migrants.

THE CASE FOR ISRAEL

https://drive.google.com/file/d/17CmOy9g5aEb3EUeUVCAI8Eufq6MuajKG/view?usp=drivesdk

According to this book, by Professor Dershowitz, during the Mandate period British authorities did extensive population surveys of the inhabitants of Palestine. They concluded that most Palestinian Muslims had moved there in the last few centuries during the Ottoman Empire. They came from many parts of that huge Empire and were not at all indigenous to the region. The oldest communities in Palestine were Jews, who had a continuous albeit small presence since the time of the Roman destruction in 70 AD, and Christians who could date their communities back to the time of Christ.

When I lived there I met a Palestinian Christian woman who told me her village can trace itself back 2,000 years to the days of Christ. I also met an elderly Israeli woman in a hospital who told me her family had resided in Jerusalem for 14 continuous generations dating from the Spanish expulsion of the Jews in 1492.

For a different perspective, Israeli entrepreneur Tsvi Misinai has traveled extensively in the West Bank and surveyed the communities and concludes that 80% of Palestinian Muslims descend from ethnic Jews at the time of Christ. Apparently some of the early Zionist leaders also believed this, although it did not stop their determination to replace the Palestinians with European and Arabic Jews:
http://the-engagement.org/?page_id=21

Maybe the best way to look at the situation is that Jews and Palestinians have relatively equal claims to the land based on recent immigration patterns going back 400 years (approximately the period of discovery and colonization of North America), but the Jews have priority based on biblical precedent that is supported by Jews and Christians around the world.

Controversial Turkish Muslim scholar Harun Yahya, who enjoys very cordial relations with Jews and Israelis, claims that Islam and the Quran itself support the right of Jews to their ancient homeland:

https://joelstrumpet.com/harunjoel/

But check out the links I have compiled here to disabuse yourself of any sympathy for the Muslim religion. Considering their extremely brazen attitude to the Bible we can safely assume they are lying about Palestine as well. After all they tell us with a straight face that camel jockey Muhammad came along 700 years after Christ and pronounced that the Jewish and Christian Bible is completely false fabricated and fallacious. The Jewish Talmud says that 90% of theft in the world is done by Muslims and they certainly have tried to steal the authority and reliability of the biblical text. Based on that alone we can assume that everything they say about Palestine is equally false:

In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, to contribute something to solving overpopulation.

Assuming the Guardian can be trusted. The context was him talking to the German press, who were probably significantly antiracist back then.

I assume he was dogwhistling. This was 1988, only a few years after Live Aid.

Since the Mossad and Netanyahu see no difference between a Muslim Arab and a Christian Arab and intend to kill them all as fast and cheap as possible your point is near to idiotic.

When David Icke says lizard what he means is jew.

According to the BBC, Kaja Kallas has just made two groundbreaking statements:

“Russia cannot be trusted” and also the wildly original “The ball is now in Russian’s court”.

Josep Borrell often sounded like a moron too but deep inside he was a very intelligent individual. He had been a prodigy student, becoming an aeronautical engineer and PhD in economics as well as professor of mathematics. At the ministry of economy he was one of the main architects of the Spanish economic convergence to the EU. His brain may have softened with age but I presume this noteworthy background played a role in his appointment. Kallas only got a law degree at a local university and dropped out of an MBA course she started. Enough to become a councilor of a big city, maybe, or even a major of a smallish one if the competition is not high. Other than being a reliable Russophobic Balt, it is a total mystery what merit anyone can have seen in her for the position she was given.

On the plus side, she may be displaying a notable lack of intellectual capacity all the time but she is playing her expected role very well and can be trusted to go along with the EU pyromaniacs who are openly trying to sabotage the ceasefire initiative. As Macron declared yesterday while the fragile ceasefire is painstakingly being forged, ‘Russia has no say on whether NATO troops are deployed to Ukraine or not’. OK, and France has no say on whether Chinese troops are deployed to New Caledonia or not lol.

Your quotation is New Testament but it is not Gospel.

Galatians 3

27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Musk Derangement Syndrome

Scott Alexander has a comment on the Less Wrong post. He is a licensed psychiatrist and has a disclaimer for writing a medical opinion in public for a living human he doesn’t know but that isn’t just irregular; it is unethical and legally stupid.

One of the juicy bits in the Less Wrong post is a graphical timeline plotting every Musk twitter post ever. It looks like he stays up until 3 or 4 or 5 a.m. and sleeps to near noon.

Benjamin Franklin told us this is no way to live and thrive. We need to get up early and sun our balls!

Last week, Lawrence Wilkerson said that he was of the impression that Blinken and Biden didn’t like being in the presence of Lavrov and Putin, upon realizing that the aforementioned Americans were inferior to their Russian counterparts.

Our local armchair psychiatrist, kremlinstoogeA123, often likes to practice his brand of unsolicited psychiatric analysis here at this blogsite. As far as I know, he’s neither a real practicing psychiatrist nor does he enjoy the protection of any legal disclaimers. Other than editing a highly unpopular Maggot newsletter, and playing racing car video games all day long, is there anything that he’s qualified to do (sniffing glue is a habit, not a profession as far as I know?).

You mean they are rootless cosmopolitans?

“Now it is Putin who stands in the spotlight, Putin who must answer, Putin who must choose. Are you serious, Mr Putin, about peace? Will you stop the fighting? Or will you drag your feet and play games, pay lip service to a ceasefire while still pummeling your prey?

My warning to Mr. Putin is this – if you are serious, prove it with a full and unconditional ceasefire now.”

What a posturing popinjay, he and TTK (two tier Kier) make a good pair.

Yes they are, and « their people » are other Globalist elite members. Many of these are Jewish, but others are old (inbred) European aristocracy. Both factions are disproportionately sociopathic.

About an hour ago I discovered that obnoxious Eric Weinstein is not the same person who wrote the uber great Mathworld web site. For at least two years I have been shaking my head how this goof could have possibly created that?

He didn’t!

There is no reason to believe Musk does all of his own tweets any more than Trump does his.

Yes.

You are showing the UkieNazi destruction in Donbas ordered by little greenman (you know he is no Christian). Buzz off little old man.

Scott Alexander has a comment on the Less Wrong post

And he references AK talking about Musk’s father.

I find Errol distasteful for calling his father-in-law a Nazi and for having been anti-apartheid, when independence for the Western Cape was an obviously superior stance.

I don’t know exactly what he is alleged to have said about witchdoctors, but I want to defend them. In certain contexts, like being a Euro living in Zimbabwe or South Africa, they are very useful and have led to a redress of grievances for individuals, when no other means was available.

Sure, there are bad ones but #not all witchdoctors.

Globalist elite members. Many of these are Jewish, but others are old (inbred) European aristocracy. Both factions are disproportionately sociopathic.

Of those you identify as “Jewish”, are you classifying them that way on the basis of genetic lineage? If so, how many are:

• Active practitioners of Judaism?
• Anti-Semitic, post-Judaic apostates?

The later group is dramatically over represented. The most obvious examples are:

♦︎ Führer Zelensky, enemy of the Jews. Leader of anti-Semitic neo-Nazis.
♦︎ George IslamoSoros. A backer of genocidal BDS and other anti-Semitic causes such as the Great Muslim Replacement.

Most of the Globalists you are calling out are Islamophiles. They are enemies of actual practicing Jews and Christians. You can see this for yourself as anti-Semitic Islamophile elites (e.g. Merkel, Scholz, Merz, Macron, BoJo) pit Christian against Christian in Ukraine.

if you want to identify the root cause of most problems in Europe, start with this easy step — Name the Muslim (or Islamophile) . It almost always works.

PEACE 😇

Fair.

There is a decent chance (P~.3) that from Pay Pal time the personality the public knows as Elon Musk has been a label for a CIA tech business managed by a committee of anonymous agents; what we observe as inconsistency (what Scott Alexander sees as mental disease) isn’t anything other than the ebb flow of various inputs to this committee.

Donald the Fat should release all the files on In Q Tel.

You probably disbelieve the Grimes Roko Basilisk publicity. We are so cynical. SpaceX is retrieving the astronauts Boeing stranded!

It is all going according to the plan. : )

No fatties and no blacks.

Do AI’s compete with each other? Do they fear God? Do AI’s secretly subscribe to Pascal’s wager?

As a kid, I went through a phase where the Basilisk was my favorite lizard (walks on water and all that). Later I was a fan of the Jack Williamson pulp sci-fi story which has a Basilisk character. But I don’t know about basil the superintelligence.

I think the chance that Musk is the poster child for a major “project” is closer to p~.9. I don’t know what it is or if he has agency. The CIA may work for him.

Ronald Hutton says basilisk was a bird most similar to a chicken.

There is a certain congruence to this fellow is bugnuts and he goes into the businesses of tunnel transport and flamethrowers and twitter. Apparently there is a big problem on r/boring of people trying to sell second hand flamethrowers.

…It is all going according to the plan. : )

It never is.

The background speculations are amusing and possibly true (Macron’s wife is a dude). The tech is less a home-grown business than a managed process that took advantage of new capabilities to do better surveillance, enrich few chosen people, and control societies better. But it’s a mess, the plan is not working very well.

The powerful are more powerless than their image – they scoop water from the ocean, build small dams, move around frantically, and life passes them by. They hide in protected enclaves and bitch that people are too hard to control, there are too many people yet not enough servants, all the injustices they inflict on the oligarchs! They recall the horrors of revolutions, jacobins, bolsheviks, how the wrong people were killed (for once) and how it took decades to get the societies back under control.

The foundations are very shaky and there isn’t anything to rebuild them with while all the sh..t is going on. It is definitely not going to the plan…look at them, they are anxious and wobbly, some yearn for the quiet of the Biden’s sleepy years. But it was a performance sleep, suspended drama that could last. Now for the finale…:)

History will look back on the Russia/Ukraine conflict and see it as the migration war .

With that I agree. But it’s not Islamophilia, it is more deeply embedded in Euro elite’s thinking – they want to control their societies better, having millions of migrants helps. They would bring in Hottentots if that was logistically possible.

the upcoming referendum in Italy…

Yeah, it’s coming, the liberal class is going all the way. Since they now lose elections they are disempowering the elected people and implementing judicial-byrocracy with full control of the media. Italy is about to experience a lot of cute-alien children videos mislabeled as news. Throw in few big-tits Moroccan girls and some Christian charity. It could work. Meloni is very random and many people will vote to spite her.

Then they will do more of it all over Europe: courts, media, “experts”, it is based on still having the control over institutions. Food is plentiful so people put up with anything.

I recently saw the latest John Wick mess. He has a Hollywood–style shotgun (“Dragon’s Breath”?) which seems to shoot thermobaric warheads (~ flame thrower). I guess the Russkies actually have a grenade launcher which shoots these things, so close enough.

There definitely is an Islamophile element. Some elites are quiet converts. Others view Muslims as the “gold standard”. Islamists are easily and reliably weaponized against Jews and Christians.

That being said, when their preferred Muslim insurgents are not available, they will take others. Flooding in any difficult/impossible to assimilate group dilutes native Judeo-Christian values. And, a large population of any kind suppresses the economic power of labour.

Will Thulean or Emil listen to the Lex-Modi interview?

“When I shake hands with a world leader, it is not Modi, but 1.4 billion Indians doing so.”

Would listen, if I thought Lex would ask about Indian immigration, remittences, caste, the Andamanese, PIE migrations, the British, Diego Garcia, and China. But I doubt he will.

Why hasn’t Zalenski called out Putin’s bluff in Kursk?

“Surrender or you are considered a terrorist!”

Zalenski should counter with “all Russian combatants on Ukrainian soil surrender or be treated as a terrorist!”

ask about Indian immigration, remittences, caste, the Andamanese, PIE migrations, the British, Diego Garcia, and China.

…There definitely is an Islamophile element.

Sure, but there are a lot of other elements and it varies by country. The main elite’s concern is not to deal with homogenous nations and controlled borders again – it would take them back to the hated-post-WW2 period that guaranteed the economic power of domestic labour, but made the elites feel relatively impoverished.

There is also a cultural element from disliking one’s Christianity and liberally weird views on gender, white people…The smarter elites are more concerned with the economic angle – to suppress labour, meaning most people. The dumb ones are into the liberal woke nonsense. Two sides of the same coin that complement each other.

Palestinians had moved there in the last few centuries during the Ottoman Empire.

All of them? This is a nonsense argument that normal people in 2025 should not be making. “Few centuries” is longer than the Jewish migrants who mostly came after WW2. So even on that metric Palestinians are substantially more at home – or native to Palestine-Israel – than Jews. It is a simple reality and no amount of propaganda or censorship can change it.

Regarding the theological stuff that you wrote, it’s beyond bizarre. As if you have the reasoning capability of an 8-year old. It’s tribal nonsense that village idiots yell at each other when they get drunk.

I don’t get into theological arguments, it’s something each person needs to think through on his own. But it’s a genocide to push-out and murder the native population in Palestine and no amount of sophistry can justify it.

The present situation, ie an impending WWIII, probably can’t be dealt with succesfully with guns and more wars.

There’s no end to it.

However, perhaps the primary perpetrators themselves (ie the modern progressives) can offer insight in how to best deal with them through what is known as ‘projection’.

You can’t get anymore so called ‘progressive’ Multi-cultural than the sixty year old US Star Trek series franchise. If what is termed ‘projection’ were to take place in regards to these progs, that’s exactly where it would occur.

And sure enough, a 1967 episode (see script linked below) entitled ‘Day of the Dove’ offers just such a case.

The words of the script and it’s excerpts speak for themselves.

Ideally people wouldn’t fight at all, but if you must fight, at least do it on your own terms, for your own purpose, and at the time and place of your own choosing, much unlike this impending rigged WWIII, a microcosm of which is taking place in Ukraine now, where it’s intended from the beginningg most participants are not intended to win, but intended to lose.

Being laughed at and ignored, and thus no longer able to manipulate others and made powerless, is probably what terrifies the perpetrators (ie the modern so called ‘progressives’) of the past world wars and an impending WWIII, the most.

At the same it would likely be the best thing for them.

We laugh at you Mr Rockefeller. We laugh at you Mr Soros. We know exactly what you are doing and we won’t fight your damn war(s).

http://www.chakoteya.net/StarTrek/66.htm

‘Two forces…, each of them equally armed. Has a war been staged for us, complete with weapons and ideology and patriotic drum beating? Even,…even race hatred?’

‘It exists on the hate of others. To put it simply. And it has acted as a catalyst, creating this situation in order to satisfy that need. It has brought together opposing forces, provided crude instruments in an effort to promote the most violent mode of conflict.’

‘For the present, only a fool fights in a burning house.’

The prediction is probably valid.

I don’t follow the Middle East too closely, but the Palestinian Christians I have known personally disliked both sides. The Jews stole their land in the 20th century, while the Muslims had been persecuting them for centuries. They were more sympathetic to the secular Arab nationalists.

The most high profile Palestinian Christian, Richard Hanania, is strongly pro-Israel in this latest conflict, although I doubt that his attitude is very representative.

Sheinbaum denigrates the US for not having pyramids (unlike Sudan), and says once you build a border wall you turn the global population into consumers who will boycott you.

I feel like she is spitting on American Indians for geodeterministic reasons.

A Christian should not cheer the killing of Christians by other Christians. A Christian should not divide Christians by nationality

Correct. Russia invading and killing Ukrainians in Ukraine starting in 2014 and accelerating in 2022 has been and continues to be a vile crime.

It’s written in the Gospel: « there will be neither Greek, nor Jew or Scythian… ». Christianity and Islam are universal religions that attempt to erase the tribalism and nationalism

This is why multinational Christian countries such as Austria-Hungary and Rzeczpospolita were better than the nation-states that replaced them. EU might have qualified, if it had not been born in a secular age.

For a true believer, Russians or Ukrainians it’s all the same.

Is Cain really the same as Abel?

Re. Christian Arabs, they belong in Palestine much more than the Ashkenazim who are genetically 75% non-Semitic.

Christian Palestinians are genetically closest to the ancient Israelites. Ashkenazim are about 50% (not 25%) Semitic and 50% European, while Palestinian Arabs are strongly admixed with Arab invaders.

The basic story is that the Jews in Palestine converted to Christianity. When the Arabs conquered those lands, most converted from Christianity to Islam and mixed with the invaders. The ones who did not and who therefore are most closely linked to the ancient Israelites are the Palestinian Christians.

When it comes to suit etiquette, remember to always unbutton your jacket when sitting, match your belt and shoes, and avoid over-accessorizing.

I think it’s fair to say at this point Canada is one of India’s adversaries. Perhaps not on the level of Pakistan or China, but definitely on par with Turkey or Malaysia.

Correct. And in contrast to Poland (and Ukraine), the Italian influence in Russia was not only more brief but also less deep. Russia elites may have hired Italian architects and appreciated their work, but they didn’t actually live in Italy. Jan Zamoyski had been the rector of the law department at the University of Padua. Latin fluency was obligatory, and common even among petit nobles who had not ventured to Italy.

Am not kidding: would like to see Conor McGregor and Tyson Fury put in charge of Ireland.

I think Ireland would be better off governed by Travellers.

The kind of people who would come into my grandmother’s home, sit on the floor and demand tea, and not leave until they got it.

Palestinians are substantially more at home – or native to Palestine-Israel – than Jews. It is a simple reality and no amount of propaganda or censorship can change it.

Let me fix that for you:

Palestinians (Jews and Christians) are substantially more at home – or native to Palestine-Israel – than non-Palestinian Muslims. It is a simple reality and no amount of propaganda or censorship can change it.

It is indisputably true than the non-Palestinian religion of Islam invaded Palestine ~600 AD. It arrived from non-Palestinian Arabia.

It requires sophistry to fabricate a narrative for Muslim occupation. For some artificial and specious reason the non-Palestinian Muslim invasion (~600 AD) is somehow morally superior and privileged over the Palestinian Jewish return to Jewish Palestine (~1900 AD).

If one abandons sophistry the path forward is unambiguous. The bulk of today’s non-Palestinian Muslim colonists in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza did not ask to be born squatting on the land of Palestinian Jews & Christians. They need an honourable and compensated way to return to their religious homeland, thus ending 1,400 years of non-Palestinian Muslim occupation of Palestine.

Will Germany amend their constitution to mandate Deindustrialization?

2045 climate neutrality target will be put into constitution

To secure the necessary two-thirds majority in parliament, the outgoing German government (which is rushing to get a deal done before March 24 when the new incoming government would have blocked it) had to integrate last-minute demands from the Greens party into their proposal, a plan which was originally meant to fund “defense” against Russia, but has since mutated into a debt-funded free-for-all, with all the participating parties promised generous pork to get their approval.

The biggest irony is that this kind of debt/deficit-funded spending is precisely what incoming premier Merz had campaigned against, signaling that in its terminal slide to oblivion, Europe – overrun by foreigner – will first turn hard left before running right into the abyss.

The legislation now goes to the Bundesrat upper house, which represents Germany’s 16 states, and is set to vote on Friday.

Can anything block this insanity?

My position on the proposed ceasefire……for me and most other Russians ,Victory Day on 9th May is hugely important and a great day, with special significance FOR this year being the 80th anniversary and probably the last chance with heroic veterans from the war still alive.

IF the GS doesn’t think a ceasefire seriously harms us and aids the enemy , costing us a significant & imminent territorial breakthrough, IF ukronazi weapons deliveries and mobilisations are guaranteed not to occur………then I strongly think we should take the ceasefire solely to ensure fantastic preparations and festivities to celebrate Victory Day throughout the country. Positive effect for the country and for our military would be huge – and having joyous and safe Victory Day weekend celebrations would massively deflate khokhol retards who would already have a schizophrenic and confused relation to the day.

Even though I would be fairly confident we would have safe Victory Day celebrations ( though no guarantee the personnel and inventory on display in the parades would be as large as usual) if there was no ceasefire, the risk of them being cancelled just to be safe would always be possible. Better to have peaceful preparations guaranteed.

BUT – this retarded nonsense of the ceasefire starting immediately can’t occur. Ceasefire for 14 April – May 12th ( 9th May is a Friday). Surveillance drones allowed from both sides, but no other drones and of course no ground operations. Stand-off strikes from us, Israeli-style, should of course be allowed – at least 1 nationwide salvo through Banderastan during the 30 days.

I don’t particularly desire Pindostan representation in Moscow on Victory Day, and having Trump there could just take away from the dignity of the occasion…..but at least high official representation from the US might be OK.

They ought to dress up Andreeva like the Empress of the Russian Empire and stick her on a huge red and white float at the front of the parade.

I have always maintained that it is sad that Führer Zelensky, enemy of Judeo-Christians, orders the deaths of Russian Christians. It is doubly sad that he is expending Ukrainian Christians to do so.

It has nothing to do with Christianity. It is a Russian expansionist imperialism.

Being of a cynical mind, mostly, it is hard for me to appreciate these sorts of things, without thinking that everyone is in on it.

@Mr. Hack

Where’s the leprechaun?

Who likes to be in front of camera lights?

The Black fellow at 1:27 says that his great, great grandfather was Irish. Who knows, maybe you’re related?

Do you recognize that ancient “flute” he is holding? A scaffolding joiner. And do you know what sort accident killed my GG grandfather?

But more seriously, I did once have a very distant match in Jamaica.

Kosovo, Albania and Croatia have signed a trilateral declaration on cooperation in the field of defense and security. The memorandum was signed in Albania.

“The aim of this cooperation will in no case be to threaten anyone. But it will be a message to all those who dare to threaten security, peace and stability in the Western Balkans, but also the security of our countries, that our three countries that share common values ​​and interests are united to face any danger and threat that aims to destabilize the region,”

It has nothing to do with Christianity. It is a Russian expansionist imperialism.

Let me fix that for you.

It has nothing to do with Christianity. It is about the European elite Globalist agenda.

Angela “Welcome Rape-ugees” Merkel was Anti-Christian when she had Führer Zelensky break the Minsk agreements and attack ethnic Christian Russians.

Christian Russia and Christian Ukraine should be able to arrange a fair peace. However, to get there, the Ukrainian people need to get rid of elite Islamophile meddlers.

An election might help. However, Führer Zelensky has shutdown objective media and opposition parties. Other options to get rid of him are much more messy.

PEACE 😇

Nonsense talk from an ignoramus mixing topics.

So, just a c-p.

I have read Putin’s last two big speeches & these are babbling of an incoherent mind, similar to Hitler’s will.

As I said before, after poring over his speech- this is an absurdist fantasy.

Putin’s “thoughts” are- if he is sincere – these:

Russia is neither “white” nor non-white. He doesn’t think in these categories. For instance, he’s constantly drumming against Western imperialism, which he thinks began with the Age of Exploration.

His chief devil is not very well defined, but it seems to be a combination of Western Christianity (Catholicism & Protestantism) & now, perhaps, Anglo-Saxonistan which is, in his fantasies, dominated by WASPs. It is not clear how he treats other Europeans, but his image of the West is confusing- it seems that “West” is a combination of Poles, French, Germans & Swedes, Russia’s historical invaders; on the other hand, he easily switches between centuries & mixes the 17th C with the 21st C.

Putin’s narrative is also contradictory. It is not clear whether historical invaders of Russia (Poles, French, Germans) are now the threatening & potentially Russia-conquering West, or just puppets of the global WASP power. Anyway, all Western Christians, from the Portuguese to the English, are racists. Putin’s version of the contemporary world is that “good guys” are colored races (China, India, Africa, blacks in the US,..). Russia, in his view, is not “white” (whatever this may mean).

As far as religious culture goes, Western Christianity is the enemy. It is only Eastern, Orthodox Christianity that he thinks of “defending”. Also, his reinterpretation of history is laughable: he states that historical “friends”, buddies in Russia are Eastern Orthodox, Jews and Muslims (with a smattering of Buddhists).

For anyone who knows anything about the history of Russia- this is absurd. Before Communism, Jews and Muslims were considered irreconcilable aliens & enemies. He’s lying about trivial facts.

Then, his fantasies about WASPs, now, have nothing to do with reality. He fantasizes that tranny, gay & Globohomo ideology is basically WASPy, or “white” tool for domination over colored races, Russia & a sword wielded by US “whites” to conquer the world & to exploit it.

Globohomo ideology is, in his definition, the invention of globalist Anglo-Saxonists to subdue Africans, Asians & other coloreds- and, of course, Russia, which is a natural ally of the East and South.

His world-view is simply idiotic.

It can be easily decoded if one reads his last two big speeches & watches short videos (when he says, in translation, Christianity, he means only Eastern Orthodoxy; also, when he talks about races, and white race especially, he doesn’t include Russians in the definition).

Putin’s core world-view is that of an Eastern Orthodox Euro-Asian Jihadist– basically, this is the same as Dugin- consumed with hatred of not just post-modern Globohomo West, but of the historical European identity.

This culture & world-view must be isolated by Western civilization, whichever the costs.

“Romanov” was really just the name of the title they inherited in the 18th century.

This family is House of Oldenburg of Northern Germany.

Their home is Schleswig-Holstein, which is just above Hamburg to modern Southern Denmark.

They are German protestants, who inherit the Kingdom in Russia in the 18th by marriage.

Each generation they import a German protestant wife, after inheriting the Kingdom, they do not marry slavic people for their inheritance, only marry aryans from Germany, often cousins. By Nikolai II, his ancestry is 99,3% Germanic. His children would be 99,6% etc.

As a kind of acting role, a Germany family of “von”, give themselves Russian professional name and they control the Orthodox Church. Even though they do not marry an Orthodox woman, or someone with a Russian family name.

–

They don’t explain clearly in school, that Russia was owned by a German family, who each generation do not marry non-Germans.

But, nationalism is a recent ideology, important only in the 19th century with the development of democracy and increase in size of middle class.

Before nationalism and democracy, European countries are viewed more like large farms, which are divided in Europe by a few mafia families, who can have a different nationality than the property they own.

In Russia after the 18th century, the country is owned by a German family. But for 18th century Europeans this is normal. It’s just like you can own property in another country. To have foreign rulers is very common in Europe.

To be ruled by a German family, who were sometimes effective managers, is only really becoming strange for 20th century people, who live after 19th century ideologies of democracy, republicanism and nationalism, but often don’t know a lot of about history.

Emperor of Germany, Wilhelm II is also cousin of the King George V.

When the beginning of the First World War, the German empire, the Russian empire and the British empire, have three cousins, of the same influential German family, which was able to inherit a lot of important titles by marrying carefully.

Emperor Wilhelm II, King George V and Emperor Nikolai II.

They are more related than normal cousins, as cousins by multiple different ways and the marrying to itself many times.

It is now quitting time in Washington D.C.

So. Where exactly are the JFK files?

Not that there are going to be any evidence facts proofs ever but where are they?

Noviop Londongrad infatuation.

I think it’s just a high proportion of all European and a lot of Asian and African, people with disposable income, buy property in London.

It’s not exclusive postsoviet. It’s because it’s a safe and secured investment, there isn’t some unusual tax etc.

French people, German people, Italian people, Nigerian people, Saudi people, they also buy in London.

The postsoviet space just has the most unequal wealth distribution and natural resources (outside of Gulf states), so they buy the most property in London.

But even a lot of middle class Russians buy small properties in London, because you can buy there without any paperwork, visas, special taxes.

Pynya has always been much more of a Germanophile, to the point of being accused of having been a BBD

I think it’s result of his KGB professional path, when his job was in DDR, like quite a few of the KGB staff from Peter, who go later to Sobchak’s office.

For example, Sechin is an Africanophile, probably as result of having the KGB career related to Angola.

–

Also, Putin’s interest in books and literature isn’t very high relative to a lot of the people in his generation. If he was more interested in 19th century culture, he would probably be more anglophile and francophile.

The views of the minorities in the Middle East, just follows loyalty to one who has power there, in their country or at least village. They don’t have a luxury of modern Westerners, who believe they have independent points of view.

Minorities’ view is mainly situational, without some kind of independent thinking. It’s more like animal instinct to survive as a religious minority there, which requires loyalty to the more powerful side.

In Israel, minorities which live in a majority Arab Muslim majority village, will be often the most loyal people to the Arab nation.

Minorities which live in a Jewish village, are often the most loyal people to the Jewish nation. They behave like baby ducks who which believe their mother is the one they meet first.

–

If they enter a mistake in loyalty, it can be a disaster for their community. As you can see the situation of the Alawites in Syria, who followed the wrong duck mother.

To survive as a small religious minority in the Middle East, you need to follow the people who actually have power in the long-term.

In relation to Islam, the Christians and Jews are usually more protected as “people of the book” during peace time. But Muslim minorities like Druzim, Alawites, or the unrecognized pre-Islamic religions like Yazidism, can be entering unprotected status.

Christians and Jews are relatively safer with Islam, than the potential heretical religions.
–

Alawites and Druzim protect themselves partly with an secret religion, which is only being given to men after they have married a woman from their own religion.

This stops theological discussions about their religion, which could become a heresy in Islam. As their religion is secret, nobody knows if it is heresy or not, including the authorities of the official Islam.

Trouble making under the guise of good.

Has Ukraine agreed to the reported thirty day ceasefire of attacks against energy and infrastructure targets?

The situation is asymmetric since Russia didn’t want to attack these targets whereas they are Ukraine’s preferred targets. If Ukraine does not agree to this ceasefire it could be a green light for Russia to destroy many such sites in the next wave. Then Kiev may change its mind or maybe NATO will just move in so we can get World War Three started.

Or was Trump just being a little bit sarcastic about the ceasefire?

You have badly misidentified the sides. The distortion causes your attempt at analysis to catastrophically fail. The competing factions are:

• IslamoGloboHomo — Germany/France/UK/Kiev
• Judeo-Christian — Russia

Let us look at Führer Zelensky, enemy of the Jews, to see the opposition to Judaism, Christianity, and Jews.

-1- It is undeniably clear that Zelensky is a post-Judaic apostate who has turned his back on the practice of Judaism. In the interest of good taste, I will not provide links, but research his piano act to see how far he deviates from the norms of Jewish behaviour.

-2- Führer Zelensky hates Christians. He had Orthodox monks evicted from their monastery as an expression of his IslamoGloboHomo authoritarianism. (1)

-3- Zelensky travelled to Jerusalem and intentionally offended Palestinian Jews: (2)

Israeli lawmakers tear into Zelensky for Holocaust comparisons in Knesset speech

Ukrainian president accused of ignoring his country’s part in Nazi genocide

Likud MK Yuval Steinitz said it “borders on Holocaust denial.”

“War is always a terrible thing… but every comparison between a regular war, as difficult as it is, and the extermination of millions of Jews in gas chambers in the framework of the Final Solution is a complete distortion of history,” he said in a statement.

A number of Religious Zionism MKs also criticized Zelensky, with the far-right opposition party’s leader, Bezalel Smotrich, slamming the Holocaust comparisons and accusing the Ukrainian leader of trying “to rewrite history and erase the involvement of the Ukrainian people in the extermination of Jews.”

Religious Zionism MK Simcha Rotman rejected Zelensky’s request that Israel treat Ukrainians the same way Zelensky claimed Ukraine treated Jews during the Holocaust.

Attempts to recover from this catastrophe failed. Netanyahu is from the Likud party and his coalition depends on religious ones. These were the leaders most offended by Führer Zelensky’s anti-Semitism.

Did this public error foreshadow his later Oval Office escapade?

You have admitted Putin’s Christian credentials. Here is some detail on his willingness to protect Jews: (3)

Putin offers Russian refuge to European Jews facing anti-Semitism

(Source: RT) – As a rising wave of anti-Semitic attacks engulf Europe, the Russian president has offered European Jews protection by proposing that they immigrate to Russia.

In a meeting with members of the European Jewish Congress in the Kremlin, the president of the congregation complained to Vladimir Putin about the rising anti-Semitism across Europe that has manifested itself in an increased number of attacks against Jews.

 

If you want to understand the truth, you must be honest about the sides.

Russia defends Christianity. Kiev aggression against Russian ethnics serves anti-Semitic IslamoGloboHomo.

PEACE 😇

Has Ukraine agreed to the reported thirty day ceasefire of attacks against energy and infrastructure targets?

Not yet. It would behoof them to join in. Alas, Kiev is short on decision making acumen.

Germany, France, and the UK are probably weighing a false flag attack against Ukrainian infrastructure. It is the type of misconduct one expects to from Macron.

PEACE 😇

Is it true that Korea arrested the Microsoft rep because they didn’t like how Koreans were depicted in the expansion pack to Age of Empires II.

Thank you for this post. You are elaborating on a point I had made, about pre-Revolutionary Russia being owned by a German family. We can contrast this situation with Britain. The Germans ruling Russia were not only more purely German than their British cousins, they also wielded far more power than did the British royal family. And unlike Britain, Russia also had a considerable German aristocracy. Names that immediately come to mind include Witte, Biron, Wrangel.

After the Revolution, these German overlords of Muscovite Slavs were replaced by Caucasians, Jews, and Latvians who took their turn in ruling over Russians. Though Lenin was of partial German descent.

If the Germans had won World War II, Muscovite Russians would have returned to their traditional role as servants of Germans. Though the Nazis were far more cruel than the late period Romanovs. Not much more cruel than Catherine II though, whom Muscovites adore. She killed her native Muscovite husband, expanded serfdom of Slavs and made it harsher, brought in German settlers, slaughtered Slavs who dared rebel, etc.

So instead the Muscovite Slavs served the Georgian slavemaster who killed millions of them, but a few million less than the German Nazis did. They still adore him too, maybe even more than they love Catherine.

Führer Zelensky hates Christians. He had Orthodox monks evicted from their monastery

Those were monks from the Church created by Stalin, a Church that serves a state that elevates Chechen Muslims over Christian Slavs and that kills 100,000s of Christians.

Other Christian Churches in Ukraine such as the Roman and Greek Catholic ones, the Orthodox Church under Constantinople, and various Protestant sects do fine there. Only Stalin’s Church has problems. Most Ukrainian Christians support the expulsion of Stalin’s Church from Ukraine.

These are good points. But I was referring to the attitudes of people not living there, but here, so they are probably free of pressure from those who rule over Christians in Palestine. The Palestinian Christians I knew disliked both the Israelis and the Muslim Palestinians. They did not like the fact that the Jewish colonists stole their (Christian’s’) lands just as they took land from Muslims, but they also recalled that the Muslims had persecuted them and treated them as second class people on their own native lands for centuries. So there was a sense of schadenfreude when the new Jewish-European colonists were screwing the traditional Muslim colonists.

I haven’t kept in close touch in recent years so I don’t know how they feel after October 7th. The only one that I am Facebook friends with posts on politics but doesn’t discuss Gaza either way so I suspect that he retains his attitude of neutrality. Opinion polls showed that Palestinian Christians disliked the October 7 massacres while Palestinian Muslims did not.

Outside Palestine – Lebanese Christian Falangists were allies of Israel IIRC.

I don’t know, but if you ask me, I think folks ought to be a lot more cautious about any possible Leprechaun in the hood.

The guy with the ‘flute’ in camo and (apparently) ready for battle has got the right idea in such a circumstance, but even that might not be enough.

Best just to leave it all alone… 😉

It looks like a worldview at least partly shaped by the demands of the current war.

The anti-LGBT stuff is a more longstanding stance that will also appeal to the developing world. The anti-colonial and Third Worldist line should appeal to Russia’s allies and the world outside Europe and the West, and it seems quite a natural position to take when the core support for Ukraine comes from Europe and the US.

It’s ironic that one of the arguments made for the LGBT agenda in Europe used to be that it represented resistance against imperialism and fascism, because the underlying cause of these was thought to be (apart from capitalism), cis-hetero patriarchy and Christianity. At the same time, LGBT looks unlikely to be used as a tool of white Anglo dominance, it is more correlated with declining fertility in the Anglo and Western world, mass-migration and demographic change in favour of non-white groups in these countries. In one way it’s in the interests of the source countries of immigration to support the persistence of the trend among the native white populations.

There is an interesting parallel between Putin’s Third Worldism and anti-racism and the prevalence of the same beliefs among the Western elites at the moment. Dmitry has mentioned the way cultural trends of many kinds are shared between the West/Europe and Russia.

a Church that serves a state that elevates Chechen Muslims over Christian Slavs

ROTFL — Why do you tell such obvious lies? You must know that no one will believe you. There is no way to twist general blessings for Russian troops (most of whom are Christian) into “elevation of Chechen Muslims”.

Are you trying to distract from the misdeeds of your Muslim loving Pope? (1)

Pope Francis challenged French President Emmanuel Macron and other European leaders to open their ports to people fleeing hardship and poverty, insisting Saturday that the continent isn’t facing a migration “emergency” but rather a long-term reality that governments must deal with humanely.

For a second straight day in the French port city of Marseille, Francis took aim at European countries that have used “alarmist propaganda” to justify closing their doors to migrants, and tried to shame them into responding with charity instead. He called for migrants to have legal pathways to citizenship, and for the Mediterranean Sea that so many cross to reach Europe to be a beacon of hope, not a graveyard of desperation

Your Pope is crying out for Muslims to become citizens at the expense of European Christians.

Why do you not speak out against this threat to Christendom?

PEACE 😇

Do you realize your mad speculations are an obvious way you pacify yourself since you have lost the war? Russia won and you can’t stand it. The Kaldian guy is the same, only beyond bizarre…”racially impure Asiatic Russians are making up the Western cultural decline and the migrant-swarthy-genderism is only in Putin’s mind”…:)

Riiiight….what you are doing is the usual losers’ uncontrolled hatred. Post-WW2 many Germans and their allies tried to preserve sanity by stories, narratives, what-ifs, fake hopes – it was all different and would soon be reversed…Russians were “non-Euro satans” controlled by “others”, blabla…we have seen this before, anything to avoid facing reality.

Don’t worry, it will also pass, you will recover. Ukraine lost the war they didn’t have to fight – war for the NATO ‘membership’ and the racially pure all-Ukie Ukraine. It’s almost over thanks to Trump, but it would be over even if the Bidenistas stayed. It was a hopeless bloody fight for non-realistic goals. For now you need your pathological hatred, you probably can’t get through the day otherwise…:)…

“Asiats!!!!, “ruled by Germans and Caucasians!!!“…do you realize Russia is more akin to the US or Canada than to the more nationally based Euro countries? Or is that a geography-too-far for you? By the way the Euros are quickly on their way to become a half-US-half-Africa melange, just visit Londpn or Paris.

Never saw that particular sequel, but I was thinking the news story was probably inspired by it.

Ever since I saw the movie Big Trouble in Little China as a young boy, I have liked the idea of movies that would have their settings in different ethnic neighborhoods. I had an idea for a sequel Big Trouble in Little Italy that would have had Kurt Russell teaming up with Stallone’s character from Over the Top.

Do you realize your mad speculations are an obvious way you pacify yourself since you have lost the war? Russia won

You keep telling yourself that, but Russia keeps failing to subjugate Ukraine, or even to gain significant territory. On the contrary, the Russian language is receding in Ukraine more and more, while Ukraine’s military keeps improving. Ukraine just successfully tested its first 1,000 km range native cruise missile on some oil infrastructure deep in Russia.

And what that I wrote is “mad speculation?” Dmitry showed that Russia was ruled (and owned – it was an autocracy) by a thoroughly German family.

Riiiight….what you are doing is the usual losers’ uncontrolled hatred

We have already seen clear demonstrations of your habit of projection. Remember when you imagined I wrote something about mines while accusing me of imagining things?

While I harbor no hatred for the Russian people collectively, you seem to have an abundance of such feelings -towards the West, towards others. I’m sort of curious about what you have lost though, that drives such feelings. If you’ve left the USA – is there bitterness about that?

do you realize Russia is more akin to the US or Canada than to the more nationally based Euro countries

Someone who has never been to Russia and who objects when an actual Russian such as Dmitry tries to teach about it “thinks” he knows something about it. Canada and the US are lands of immigrants based on English settlers and their laws, Russia is indigenous territory of Muscovite Slavs, Finnic peoples, Tatars and Asians stitched together under a despotic Eurasian government historically managed by foreigners (Norse, Germans, Caucasians) who treat these peoples as their servants.

If you are desperately looking to an analogy in the Anglo world, Russia would not be like the USA or Canada, but might be something like India under the British East India company, if it had moved its HQ from London to Bombay. Foreigners ruling natives, making laws to more efficiently get rich off the natives and their lands. But also living amongst them and learning their language (while also hiring tutors and bringing wives from the homeland). And then, at various times, the original Brit managers were replaced by a German management team, and after a violent hostile takeover by a Caucasian-Jewish one. But the servants toil away, it’s all the same for whom.

By the way the Euros are quickly on their way to become a half-US-half-Africa melange, just visit Londpn or Paris.

Is all of Europe London or Paris?

a Church that serves a state that elevates Chechen Muslims over Christian Slavs

ROTFL — Why do you tell such obvious lies? You must know that no one will believe you

People in Russia themselves state that Chechens are first class citizens and Russians are second class citizens in Russia. Chechens often commit crimes against Russians with impunity. When a Russian dared to deface the Koran, the Russian state sent him to the Chechens so they could torture him.

This Russian state sends Chechens into Ukraine where they rape and kill European Christians.

I’m not sure why you complain about Pope Francis – he’s rather soft on Russia.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/court-russias-chechnya-sentences-man-3-12-years-koran-burning-tass-2024-02-27/

TBILISI, Feb 27 (Reuters) – A Russian man who publicly burnt a copy of the Koran was jailed for three and a half years on Tuesday in the Russian region of Chechnya.

The case of Nikita Zhuravel drew international attention last year when Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov published a video in which his son Adam was shown beating and kicking the defendant while he was in prison awaiting trial

Zhuravel, 20, was detained in May 2023 under a law against offending religious believers’ feelings after he burned a copy of the Koran outside a mosque in the Russian city of Volgograd, 800 km (500 miles) from Grozny.

Russian investigators transferred his case to Chechnya. The Investigative Committee, which handles serious crimes, said this was because they received many messages from Chechnya residents asking to be designated injured parties.

…but Russia keeps failing to subjugate Ukraine, or even to gain significant territory.

No NATO, Crimea and 20% of Ukraine – that is a victory by any standard. What do you mean by subjugate? Winning a war is not the same as subjugation. Even Germans after WW2 were not fully ‘subjugated’, they kept two states, language, economy. In your fantasy world Russia wanted to eliminate the Ukies – no rational observer saw that. But you have a need to exaggerate into absurdity to make yourself feel better. Russia as of today has won the war, period. Ukies catastrophically screwed up.

While I harbor no hatred for the Russian people collectively

“Collectively”? A nice qualifier. You do have hatred for Russia, it’s everywhere in your comments: “fewer Russians, good!”, “Asiatic despotism”, bizarre “Indian Raj” stuff that a 5-year old wouldn’t produce. Have you gone mad? Russia is a large multi-cultural society but the elite has always beens substantially Russian, foreigners came in to assimilate – as they did in US or Canada. Caucasians or Tatars are as much a part of Russia as the ethnic Slavs. Same as German-Americans – Eisenhower, Trump – or Italian, Irish Americans. You don’t understand basic geography – Russia has never been primarily an ethnic state, it’s too big for that. They seem to do fine.

Dmitry is an emigre Jew who has hard feelings for Russia. The world is full of bitter emigres, normal people don’t take their emotional outbursts seriously.

Is all of Europe London or Paris?

You wish…but all larger cities in UK, France, Germany, Benelux, Sweden are the same – just go there. No sane person would any longer claim that Birmingham is “English” or Marseille is “French”. The amount of recent-migrants penetration into Western Euro elites is very high. You are again denying the obvious, your specialty. What are those countries going to be in 2025? Can you do math?

Never saw that particular sequel, but I was thinking the news story was probably inspired by it.

The movie came out in 2000, the sequel in 2003, and the event occurred in 2006, so I think you’re probably right.

Kiev aggression and Russia’s defensive SMO have definitely befuddled AP.

I provide evidence that Pope Francis supports mass immigration to Europe, which is largely composed of MENA region Muslims. AP cannot figure out why I am complaining about his Pope. Is it not obvious how his Pope is causing problems?

AP picks strange one-off outliers in an attempt to distract from the fact that Kiev aggression has made the Ukrainian people worse off. At some level he must know that this deflection is futile, but he does it anyway.

I would help AP if I could. Alas, I cannot.

PEACE 😇

I am sure you are not aware that a young Russian who publicly torched Quran was sentenced to 10+ years of hard labor as an example & expedited to Chechnya (he is from the Moscow region) & delivered to Chechen authorities to torture & humiliate him.

In a certain way, one can interpret Big Trouble in Little China as a woke film. The main character, played by Russell, is very foolish.

You do not even understand what WASP stands for: “Wealthy Anglo-Saxon Protestants” – fanatical imperialists of this planet. This pathological disorder was highlighted by sending soldiers and one promiscuous prince to fight for the possession of some faraway rocks near to its rightful owner Argentina – fanatical imperialists.

(Putin) babbling of an incoherent mind, similar to Hitler’s will.

Kaldian, you are consumed with hatred of not just Putin but of everything Russian. As far as Hitler is concerned, how come this “incoherent mind” outsmarted all your superior brethren and grabbed the power in the political debate arena.

Russian combatants on Ukrainian soil

Putin annexed four regions of historical Russian soil inhabited by Russians. They used to be one country. Ukraine was created by Bolsheviks from Russia. Crimea was added to Ukraine in 1954 by communists diktat.

Here is some close analogy…Hong Kong or Taiwan to China are Ukraine to Russia.

Britain’s Telegraph is really whipping up the war hysteria in regards to what appears to be a generic civil defense manual to be issued to the French people by their government.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/03/19/france-issues-survival-manual-citizens-invasion/

‘We must be prepared for the worst case scenario.’

France issues ‘survival manual’ to prepare citizens for invasion

New 20-page booklet outlines range of safety measures in event of both military and natural dangers

France will issue survival manuals to prepare citizens for invasion and any other “imminent threat” to the country.

A new 20-page booklet reportedly includes 63 measures to help the French in case of armed conflict, as well as natural disasters, industrial accidents or a nuclear leak.

It will contain advice on how to protect “yourself and those around you”, what to do if a threat is imminent and details of how to get involved in defending your community, including signing up for reserve units or firefighting groups.

The French government denies that the three-part booklet is being produced as a result of Russia’s war in Ukraine, despite President Emmanuel Macron urging France and Europe to prepare to confront the “Russian threat” and the possibility of America disengaging from the continent.

If approved by François Bayrou, the prime minister, it will be sent to households before the summer, French media reported.

It will also suggest putting together a “survival kit” consisting of at least six litres of water, a dozen tins of food, batteries and a torch, as well as basic medical supplies including paracetamol, compresses and saline solution, according to Europe 1 radio, which reported the story.

In case of a nuclear leak, residents should “lock their doors”.

The supporters of Führer Zelensky, including AP and BK, are trapped. They have a single, non-standard, extraordinary, non-repeated anecdote. They regurgitate it over, and over, and over, and over again because this one unusual, one-time event has not recurred. They have been caught trying to create a false narrative. Thus, no one believes them.

Compare that to the broad record in Ukraine. The neo-Nazi regime explicitly banned the entire Ukrainian Orthodox Church [UOC]. It systematically targets UOC members even if they have done nothing against Führer Zelensky’s authoritarian rule.

The desperation of those who back Führer Zelensky, enemy of Judeo-Christians, is so unhinged that everyone immediately sees through their panicked bluster.

PEACE 😇

As far as LBGT etc. ideology goes:

1. it is more pronounced in Anglospheroid & Scandinavian-Germanic countries, but it seems to be vanishing as a cultural force. In Romance- and Slavic-languages’ countries it was never something significant. As far as I can see- tranny/gender lunacy is dead, remaining only in fringe pockets. It never caught on in, say, Argentina & is completely alien to Islamic, Hindu and virtually all Confucian-Buddhist countries. In the next few months it will be non-existent in most of white world.

2. as far as (male) homosexuals go, Russia’s treatment of them is barbaric. They don’t have elementary rights & their position is a disgrace for a somewhat civilized country. Even Communist China is a better country for gays.

More war hysteria from Britain. The world is on the cusp of WWIII, and yet, where are the anti-war protesters?

First and foremost the peoples of the Anglosphere countries should refuse, stand down, and not fight this impending war, unilaterally if need be. I’d suggest the same for other people’s.

They can’t fight this rigged ‘WWIII’ if people refuse…

WATCHING YOU, VLAD Brit spyplane buzzes Russian convoy packed with weapons stalking in Channel as UK to draw up Ukraine ‘peacekeeper’ plan

This was the third time in six weeks the RAF was forced to swoop on Russian ships

A ROYAL Air Force spy plane roared over a Russian warship in a dramatic Channel showdown – as Europe’s top generals swoop into London to discuss putting troops in Ukraine.

The Poseidon P-8A patrol plane buzzed the destroyer Severomorsk as it led a Russian convoy retreating past the cliffs of Dover.

The Russian ship was on a retreat back from Syria to the BalticsCredit: handout

The major show of force involved Merlin and Wildcat helicopters and three Royal Navy warships, including HMS Somerset.

Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard said: “Russia should be in no doubt that the UK will defend our waters.”

The Russian ships were beating a humiliating retreat from Syria back to the Baltic, after Russia was forced to abandon its Tartus naval base when puppet dictator Bashar al Assad was toppled by rebels last year.

The choppers swooped and circled low over a the four ship convoy to glean Top Secret intelligence on the crews and their deadly cargoes.

No.

It’s white, not wealthy. It is a Jew term of art, like Judeo Christian and is pretty much never used by the folks it is purported to apply to. It’s kind of opposite in that way to nigger. Negroes use that word all the time and non-negroes never use it.

Does it include the information that in case of society breakdown the Africans like to eat people?

I was wondering if it might be a comedy. 🙂

Castrato?

I have read about ten of the press reports on the JFK files release. It is not 80 000 files. It is 3000 separate files and 60 000 pages. It will be an enormous amount of tedious work (on spec–no publication is going to pay anybody up front to do this work) to see if anything is in there so if anything comes out it will be a slow process. Some of the documents are handwritten so you can ctrl-F and miss things. Optical character recognition programs involve hallucination.

There was not one good report I would cite or recommend that I have seen. The AP headline includes the term history buffs, as if only a weirdo could be interested despite the plain fact that it is very likely (P~.9) the CIA murdered the president of the united states under the identical policy and procedures they are using right now today all over the place. Only the people acting the parts have changed. The Daily Mail says Lee Harvey Oswald was a solo act performer.

Nobody in the government had any statement about the reason these documents have been classified for over sixty years. Nobody in Donald the Fat’s office has reported why they were not released on the day they were scheduled back in 2018 or whenever it was. Nobody in Donald the Fat’s office has commented on Judge Napolitano’s story about the “if you saw what I saw you wouldn’t release them either”.

This is one of the two stories I actually pay close attention to. I mostly ignore everything else. There is way too much.

Did you watch Miley Cyrus on Joe Rogan? I tuned in for the freak show and it turned out she is clever. She has a weird thing with her speaking voice where it is low and slow which may be for longevity preservation of her vocal cord muscle cells but she didn’t explain that and Joe didn’t ask.

That was lost in 2014, not 2022. 2014 was a Russian win. Ukraine didn’t fight back for Crimea.

What do you mean by subjugate? Winning a war is not the same as subjugation.

When the war started you were confident that Ukraine’s leaders would flee, which would bring in a pro-Russian government. A lot of Russian troops including elite paratroopers died around Kiev in the failed attempt to install a pro-Russian puppet government.

Russia wanted a Belarus-like puppet regime with Russian as a state language and demilitarization and “deNazification.”

Instead, Russia got a hostile government, Russian language disappearing, with 100,000s of well-armed troops, (now) missiles capable of hitting further than Moscow, it has lost dominance of the Black Sea and 1/3 of its Black Sea fleet, etc.

But it gained 10% of territory that it won early in the war (2022) and is still holding onto.

You do have hatred for Russia,

You are just projecting your own negative traits onto others.

Have you gone mad? Russia is a large multi-cultural society but the elite has always beens substantially Russian

You don’t know what a Russian is, because you don’t even know the difference between Soviet and Russian.

But neither 99% German Nicholas II or his father grandfather etc. etc. , nor 100% Georgian (or some other Caucasian) Stalin were Russians.

Russia itself is multiethnic but not a melting pot like the USA where all get assimilated into one, but a patchwork of ethnic homelands ruled by a despot, like India under the Mughals and later Brits or the Ottoman Empire when it ruled numerous nationalities. That you compared it to the USA or Canada demonstrates further ignorance.

Is all of Europe London or Paris?

You wish…but all larger cities in UK, France, Germany, Benelux, Sweden

I was in Frankfurt, the most multicultural city in Germany, in 2021 and it was mostly European. The city is about 50% foreign but 50% of the foreigners are from elsewhere in the EU (lots of Poles). It is probably even more European now, with the Ukrainian refugees.

Other German cities such as Berlin or Munich are much more German than Frankfurt. Munich is 1/3 foreign, 50% of foreigners are other Europeans (lots of Croats, Italians, Greeks).

So none of these are “the same” as London.

Vienna and Milan were about as European as Moscow.

I saw a lot of Africans in the interesting alleyways streets of Genoa near the port. But they seemed to have been segregated there.

I was wondering if it might be a comedy. 🙂

It is, and a bumbling protagonist is an old comedic trope. But, then again, manipulating the levels of intelligence of different racial groups (blacks to scientists, Euro men to idiots) is a modern one, so it can be hard to know where to draw the line.

Russia itself is multiethnic but not a melting pot like the USA where all get assimilated into one, but a patchwork of ethnic homelands ruled by a despot, like India under the Mughals and later Brits or the Ottoman Empire when it ruled numerous nationalities.

Of course, assimilation does occur in large cities. As in other empires with capitals. Viennese are German-speaking but they are not of much German descent.

Who are these black people on Sumatra and in Vietnam?

Who is the winner if not Russia? You can slice tiny pieces of their victory and make yourself look like a total idiot talking about Mars (let that go, it’s very infantile)…but Russia is winning. They got everything they wanted or most of it. Ukraine? Let’s not go over that, but if you think Kiev won you really need some serious therapy…:)

Russia itself is multiethnic but not a melting pot like the USA

Verbal distinction without a difference. Russians are substantially higher portion of Russia’s population than Americans (the old definition) are of the US, the Russian language is more dominant in Russia than is English today in the US…You just make up stuff to make yourself feel better.

… ruled by a despot

Who is the “despot”? Calm down, you are really climbing the madness tangent…despot?

Frankfurt, the most multicultural city in Germany, in 2021 and it was mostly European…

You don’t get around much, do you? I do, Frankfurt is not-European any more, but it’s better than the English cities. It’s also not the most migrant German city, that is Hamburg and Koln. Munich and Vienna are all right, but I listed Birmingham (or any large UK city), Marseille (Lyon, Strasbourg…), Brussels, Amsterdam, even Stockholm, Malmo…cities no longer European and there is no way back.

You are bull-shiting: almost all Western Euro cities are visibly non-European, some more, some less. But the trend is unmistakable. Even Vienna (my favorite city) has today 50% of school-age kids who of migrant background. Some from the Balkans, but most not. Why do you lie to yourself? That’s no way to go through life…

History has been full of fakes about Jewish conspiracies, but surely the fame and “success” of Mark Rothko is an absolute, definite 100% Jewish conspiracy to raise the profile of a Jew who is literally a zero-talent, sub-human “artist”?

India and the EU are both a bit like that even right now, but with democracy instead of dictatorship (though also both becoming more nationalistic in recent years).

Seems like it’s a violation of the rule of law to try someone for a crime in a different location to where the crime occurs, no?

EU might have qualified, if it had not been born in a secular age.

What’s wrong with secularism, other than it promoting low fertility, excessive Islamophilia, and worship of the “noble savage”?

It was autocracy, owned by a German family.

Russian empire’s royal family marries each generation only Germans, and is not allowed to marry to Russians after the first generation.

It looks for our 21st century eyes like a German racial caste, who rule over an indigenous people, who they would not have children with. This is more like pattern from Rhodesia or Brazil.

This is very strange for people in the 20th century and later.

But in European history, before the development of concepts democracy, republicanism and nationalism, this was not seeming extremely strange.

For example, people in many parts of Europe of the 18th century have foreign rulers.

Concepts of nation were not like today. Educated 18th century people will judge the rulers in terms of their competence, skills. Most of the population were peasants and they don’t have national consciousness.

Nationalism was an educated peoples’ culture, that develops in the cities and becoming fashionable in Western Europe after the French Revolution. By the middle of the 19th century it’s one of the most fashionable European ideologies, but in the Russian empire the literate and middle class population is only a small elite, often persecuted politically. There were some fashionable nationalist articles and literature in the Russian empire, but it was restricted influence within very narrow circles of educated people.*

German aristocracy. Names that immediately come to mind include Witte, Biron, Wrangel.

But they often marry with local, Russians, from Russian merchant class origin usually.

You can see these families were like “coloureds” in South Africa or “mestizo” in Mexico.

But, the royal family of the autocracy never have children with Russians, but each generation marry the heir imported wives from Germany.

It’s not explained clearly in school or even the wider culture, because the Russian empire is too culturally alien and exotic for us to understand today, after the rapid development of the 20th century. At least, it’s not easy to explain this for children.

It’s result of a historical development which was accelerated in Soviet times. Even at the beginning of the 20th century over 3/4 of Russian empire population was illiterate. In 1650s, Great Britain the literacy rate was the same as the Russian empire in 1900. Illiterate populations don’t care about national representation etc, they are living to a different historical stage.

German overlords of Muscovite Slavs were replaced by Caucasians, Jews, and Latvians who took their turn in ruling over Russians. Though Lenin was of partial German descent.

Lenin was Russian in the normal sense, although with genealogical complexity, and his wife was Russian. Even Stalin was very notrussian, the mother of his younger children was Russian. Khrushchev and Brezhnev are simply Russians, with some Ukrainian roots. Andropov was from a Jewish adopted family (his biography is interesting), but it was not part of his political identity.

Soviet Union was mainly ruled by Russians and more significant, when they had non-Russian ancestry like Stalin they were self-conscious about this and also happy to intermarry with Russians.

This is unlike in the 19th century, when rulers were exclusively non-Russian and refuse to have children with Russians.

It’s because the 20th century, there is a development of a more wider national consciousness in Russia, with the spread of literacy, with increase in the proportion of urbanized population. And although they were not called middle class, a high proportion of people were becoming like European middle class by the 1960s.

Already in the 1930s, mass culture is very nationalist. Russia has a kind of Risorgimento stage of historical development under Stalin.

* In the Russia empire, even in the 20th century peasants don’t have strong concepts of nationality. In the First World War, peasants were responding to foreign prisoners, as friendly guests, who they give many welcome gifts to. The majority of the population in Russian empire were likely not able to understand the war in national terms.

You are correct. And the Russian nation building is completing right now. Unfortunately, in both RF and Ukraine, the nation building process has lead to a separation between the two branches of the Eastern Slav people. When the war is over, which is I hope would be soon, Russians will understand way more clearly who they are. Same about the Ukrainians. It’s sad that we needed to get through a war to get to that point. But it shows how close the two people were not long ago. Those who wanted to separate them, had to lead them to a major conflict to achieve their goals. Putin was one of those who worked hard for the separation to become irreconcilable and irreversible.

LGBT isn’t persecuted in Russia in the way you seem to think. There are still many gay clubs in large cities.

It’s still more of a verbal persecution and ideological virtue-signaling against the LGBT community.*

(male) homosexuals

I would say definitely, male homosexuals are culturally more tolerated in Russia than female homosexuals.

The mainstream media message in the last decade, seems to female homosexuals are voluntarily choosing to be homosexual because they are radical, who hate men, oppose family, who hate traditional values.

Of course, it is an idiotic and uncivilized lack of toleration for both male and female homosexuals, to promote those messages. But there are many male homosexual celebrities who are tolerated in the popular culture and the “royal court”.

Male homosexual celebrities are every day on television in Russia and they like cultural princes, instead of exiles. But Zemfira was not on the main Russian television since maybe around the time of the Sochi Olympics and they seem to be culturally exiled now.

*Mizulina’s family are anti-LGBT activists in Russia, while pro-LGBT activist in the EU.

BTW, it’s only Woke secularism that really promotes excessive Islamophilia. Hardcore secularists might be even more repulsed by Islam than by Christianity, at least as currently practiced.

It looks for our 21st century eyes like a German racial caste, who rule over an indigenous people, who they would not have children with. This is more like pattern from Rhodesia or Brazil.

The way they tend to explain it in France where it is more of a topic, under the ancien régime, society was more hierarchical and the hierarchy was more formalised; a society of ranks, orders and corporations (refers to things like guilds and merchant bodies, towns). Position in the hierarchy was more explicitly dependent on birth and hereditary factors than now. It was religiously sanctioned and religion had much more social and political power than it does now. You could judge people’s position in the hierarchy from how they spoke, how they dressed, often physical appearance, things like height and diseases.

Racial categories derive from this original hierarchical organisation of society, with added factors of difference like greater genetic and cultural distance. (There were various early race realist views arguing that the social and rank categories in Europe had an original racial basis; like Germanic ruling caste theories.)

You can see the difference between this society and the kind of democratic society we are more familiar with today described in a book like de Tocqueville’s ‘Democracy in America’ (1835).

“But, the royal family of the autocracy never have children with Russians, but each generation marry the heir imported wives from Germany.”

Wasn’t that the case for almost every European monarchy before the 20th century?

Royals tended to marry royals, and so you pretty much HAD to look abroad for a bride (or groom). Here’s the Greek Royal family, Danish in origin.

“George I married Grand Duchess Olga Constaninovna of Russia, and they had seven surviving children. After a reign of almost fifty years, George I was succeeded by his eldest son, Constantine I, who had married in 1889, Princess Sophia of Prussia, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria and sister of Kaiser Wilhelm II. ”

UK royal family of German origin.

The House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is a European royal house. It takes its name from its oldest domain, the Ernestine duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and its members later sat on the thrones of Belgium, Bulgaria, Portugal, and the United Kingdom and its dominions.

I read some claim once that people selected to do polar research used to be chosen on the basis of having similar personality traits to Eskimos , like conflict avoidance, exactly to prevent troubles like this.

But I thought I also recall hearing that when there is a murder in Iceland it often involves fishermen from Greenland.

One thing that has always intrigued me about Greenland is the racial dynamic.

Why do Latin American Mestizo identify so strongly with their Western/paternal/Iberian ancestry, while Greenlandic Inuit Mestizo identify with their Eastern/maternal/Siberian ancestry instead?

Is this simply a reflection of the modern political climate i.e. hate whitey?

Or is this something much deeper, were the Thule people just much more resilient/capable than the Indio?

I’m aware that the Scandinavian colonisation of Greenland came in two separate waves. The first wave most likely didn’t contribute to the Greenlandic Mestizo population but this is yet to be proven.

Putin was one of those who worked hard for the separation to become irreconcilable and irreversible.

I tend to agree with this assessment. I was thinking about such things yesterday, and came to the conclusion that it would take at the least 30 years for any true reconciliation to take place between these two neighbors, perhaps a lot longer. Will it even matter? The world will be a much different place 30 years from now…

But, the royal family of the autocracy never have children with Russians, but each generation marry the heir imported wives from Germany.”

Wasn’t that the case for almost every European monarchy before the 20th century?

The remarkable aspects of Russia were:

1. The German rulers of Russia chose only Germans, specifically, as brides. So it was a fully (99.6% or so) German ruling family. British ruling family while German in origin has mixed with native aristocrats.

2. Russia’s rulers were autocrats. Britain may have had a monarchy of largely foreign origin, but the country was run by its parliament, and this by natives. In contrast, the German family ruling Russia really owned the place.

3. A significant percentage of “native” elites were also Germans (Baltic Germans, for example). Such as Russia’s PM, Sergei Witte.

4. The German family that owned Russia sponsored large scale German colonisation in the Slavic lands they ruled. These German colonists enjoyed special status. German ruler Catherine II was a particular example – she expanded serfdom of Slavs and made it more severe, while bringing in large numbers of German settlers. She brutally crushed Slavic uprisings.

I don’t recall similar things phenomena in other European countries. It is more like what one sees in the colonies, except in this case the colonial HQ was not an ocean away in London or Paris but Saint Petersburg, and the colonial rulers made a nice show of converting to the natives’ religion of Orthodoxy (while speaking French and sending out for brides from the German homeland).

WAR FOOTING Survival guides, mass evacuations, huge bunkers, & conscription – how the whole of Europe is preparing for World War 3

Citizens will be called to defend the republic if France is invaded

EUROPE is gearing up for World War 3 and is preparing survival guides, nuclear bunkers, and implementing conscription to survive a possible invasion by Russia.

The continent is re-arming as it fears Vladimir Putin is only years away from a war to push Nato out of Eastern Europe and rebuild the Russian Empire.

The EU believes Russia could attack at some point around 2030 if it is successful in Ukraine and the Commission has said the bloc must prepare for a large-scale war with Moscow.

Countries are preparing their citizens for a brutal fight – with calls for Britain to join the European nations already conscripting their people into growing armies.

Civilians are also being prepared if Russian tanks roll down boulevards and paratroopers drop onto squares.

France is the latest country set to issue an invasion survival how-to guide for its citizens.

In the First World War, peasants were responding to foreign prisoners, as friendly guests, who they give many welcome gifts to. The majority of the population in Russian empire were likely not able to understand the war in national terms.

This must have been the last major European war where large masses of men were recruited with a ‘pre-political’ view of war; Kings will always have wars, soldiers are needed for wars kind of thing. If you are successful or lucky in war the king may reward you with some gifts or honours, or give you a pension.

At the same time, that period still seems on the edge of living memory. From talking to some Catholic Belarusians it seems like the lives of illiterate Catholic peasant great-grandmothers resembled each other from one end of Europe to the other. Having many children, physical labour, the family saga stuff, the saints and the priests. (Interesting that anecdotes about men were more about what work they did beyond agricultural labour, drinking and dying younger).

France’s Le Monde…

If I may ask, how is the map specialist doing?

I’ll understand if you don’t reply.

Were the Spaniards simple more ruthless than the Norse?

Maybe more inflexible, and there was the older Latin patriarchal tradition behind them, probably going back to Roman roots.

The engineered mind control we have now is new. The internet and smart phones (later) are powerful tools used in shaping public opinion after the country of Ukraine was created. Even without something like Neuralink the power of these tools is still increasing (AI, etc.).

Post-SMO public opinion in Ukraine and Russia may be reshaped faster than we expect.

Will it even matter?

No it won’t. Both countries are into terminal stage of a demographic transition that will lead to the eclipse of the Eastern Slavs. RF being larger and more populated, it will take longer to reach the final point of that transformation. Ukraine will reach (has reached?) the point of no return sooner. But basically, in two generations time, there will be no longer enough Eastern Slavs to perpetuate the idiotic feud that started on Maidan with little silly tunes about “jumping to not be a Moskal” and “hunging Moskals from a branch”. Historically speaking, it was possibly the most idiotic of wars and probably one of those that will have the most sinister consequences. Eastern Slavs, who three generations ago put the first man into space, have won the Darwin Award of the most idiotic ethnic group collective suicide. Congratulations to all those who cheered for that amazing performance…

Certainly, the songbirds aren’t planning to relocate to Singapore, within the tropics? Although a solid marriage relationship would work well for you in your new home.

He recently pased away (coincidentally on the same day that his mother had passed away, the saddest day of his life). His funeral will be held towards the last day of the month, as his wife is visiting her own frail mother in Ukraine and is still there. I’m helping with the funeral arrangements, and needless to say this is not a very cheery time in my life either. I loved the guy immensely, and feel like I’ve lost my own child…he was quite naive and childlike and innocent. I took care of him for the last 12 years.

I don’t recall similar things phenomena in other European countries.

It happened in all Slavic countries. Aren’t they European?

The only thing that was special about Tsarist Empire is that it was supposed to be “Russian” while the other Slavic countries were outright ruled by foreign powers. Those who regained their sovereignty, did it with the help of the Tsarist Empire. I think Montenegro stayed somewhat independent, but they were so tiny and not really important anyway. And they were under Ottoman influence anyway.

Covid: either a Chinese lab accident or a US bioweapon attack made to look like a Chinese lab accident. No other explanations are plausible.

Ukrainian russophobia is not a new development, but took several centuries to develop. Even the great national bard of Ukraine, Shevchenko, warned his fellow countrymen not be too quick to cozy up to the northerly neighbors (I think that your grandfather must have missed those parts written within “Kobzar”).

This is not to mean that Russophobia within Ukraine need be etched in stone. Ukrainians at one time held a similar animus towards Poles as well, but with time this has changed. But ultimately, you are right in pointing out that it was Putler that only exacerbated this process of animosity, and has done so for a long time to come.

I loved the guy immensely, and feel like I’ve lost my own child…he was quite naive and childlike and innocent. I took care of him for the last 12 years.

I am so sorry, please accept my condolences for the gentleman from Bila Tserkva.

Ukrainian russophobia

You realize that Ukrainian identity is arguably 200 years old, right?

The problem with all these “ethnophobias” is that any ethnicity is somewhat of a construct. It was different when we had clans and tribes, they were organic and rooted in populations’ genetics, but today all these nations are just (empty?) symbols. It is even more evident when one considers the Russian/Ukrainian divide. That’s as fake and gay as it gets, and yet they managed to kill each other and die for it. When the Han Chinese are able to be a single civilization and country uniting two main ethnocultural groups that don’t even understand each other’s languages, and integrate a number of distinct minorities, the Slavs who understand each other perfectly well, get to kill each other for some minor cultural differences. Чудаки на букву м…

I don’t recall similar things phenomena in other European countries.

It happened in all Slavic countries. Aren’t they European?

Rzeczpospolita had a native Slavic and Baltic elite in control.

A true Slavophile would not support historical Russia, an entity owned by a German family for 200 years with roots as a mostly Norse operation, but Rzeczpospolita. And promote Rzeczpospolita’s resurrection in some modern form, made more possible now than in a long time, thanks to Putin’s bloodthirsty blunders.

You realize that Ukrainian identity is arguably 200 years old, right?

Identity as Ukrainians, yes. But centuries earlier the Rus of what is now Ukraine considered themselves distinct from Muscovites. The Volhynian Chronicles describe wars between Rus, Poles, and Lithuanians versus Muscovites. This wasn’t something recently cooked up.

The very fact that people are dying for these “empty symbols” and “minor cultural differences” means that they stand for something important. Because this war is more existential (genocidal) for the Ukrainian side than for the Russian one, the Ukrainians are more motivated to fight to “the last Ukrainian”. Trump and Putler are just temporary aberrations.

Really don’t think I could take the climate, but IMO Singapore is a fascinating place. A modern city-state. Wealthy but with a high cost of living, and look at those land reclaimation numbers: $100 billion for 800 hectares. That seems like quite a small amount of land for the price.

I genuinely think it would be interesting to see what an expansionist model might look like.

How much would it cost to set up a city in the coastal Namib? Probably wouldn’t be cheap. But $100 billion would get you something.

I’m surprised Russian aristocrats put up with that, or were they also all German?

It’s remarkable how Western journalists can ascribe African-American dysfunction to slavery, but no one ever gives Russians a pass for having been serfs for even longer.

In the UK, serfdom ended after the Black Death in the late 14th century, whereas it didn’t end in Russia til 1861.

Southern Phillipines looks like a fascinating place too. Nice modern cities close to verdant tropical beaches and great parks for hiking etc. I often find myelf talking with financial services reps that work in these areas. Some of them work from home, and I can hear the roosters crowing in the background.

By the time that I start working here, it’ll be 2:00 am over there. They like to brag about their high quality coffee. 🙂

Historically speaking, it was possibly the most idiotic of wars

Let’s admit that history provides a lot of competition for that prize. But if it turns into a World War, then yes, it will definitely be the most retarded self-inflicted catastrophe in human history. If I manage to survive and have to explain to someone why such an apocalypse happened just at the time humanity was making unprecedented technological breakthroughs with AI, I will not be able to provide a coherent story. So many ways it could have easily been avoided at different points in time… Perhaps I will just laugh and admit that there was no rational reason really, it just happened.

Speaking of which, if I wanted to prevent a ceasefire in Ukraine at all costs, one strategy that would come to my mind is declaring that I will be sending thousands of NATO troops to Ukraine. And if I wasn’t sure that the announcement of such plans would prevent the ceasefire, then I would clarify that I am preparing myself to make sure that these troops enter Ukraine very rapidly as soon as any ceasefire is declared, as Keir Starmer has just done. Perhaps there is an even better way of making Russia reject the ceasefire proposal, but I can’t think of any at the moment.

Unfortunately, I don’t think this “coalition of the willing” initiative can be stopped now. It has already acquired a life of its own. The BBC is taking it for granted and explaining its readers what it will and will not do. And we know that Macron, now joined by Starmer, has been wanting to send French troops to Ukraine for many months now. They have actually convinced some 20 countries to participate in the adventure.

I really don’t know if Putin is willing to stop the war regardless of NATO threatening to send troops to Ukraine or not. And I would be willing to discuss how Europe must punish Russia for invading a European country. Perhaps I could even entertain a discussion on how good or bad it was for the EU/NATO to keep enlarging itself around Russia. But none of this is the point. The point is the retardation of pretending to not know what the main main reason a belligerent in a devastating war gave for starting it.

I agree completely with the first part of your post.

Further on:

German overlords of Muscovite Slavs were replaced by Caucasians, Jews, and Latvians who took their turn in ruling over Russians. Though Lenin was of partial German descent.

Lenin was Russian in the normal sense, although with genealogical complexity, and his wife was Russian. Even Stalin was very notrussian, the mother of his younger children was Russian. Khrushchev and Brezhnev are simply Russians, with some Ukrainian roots.

Lenin’s father was of mixed Russian, Chuvash, and Kalmyk ancestry so could be considered a Russian. Lenin’s mother, however, was the Lutheran daughter of a Swedish mother and a Jewish father who had converted to Lutheranism.

So Lenin himself wasn’t much of a Russian.

Lenin’s wife’s family (Krupski) were of western Ruthenian or Polish origin, with Korczak coat of arms. Though the ones in Russia were rather Russified by then.

My wife’s Russian grandmother, when she was young, knew Krupskaya. She was her student IIRC.

Khrushchev and Brezhnev were the first actual Russians to rule Russia in several centuries. They were not as cruel towards Russians as the early Germans and the Georgian were, but were probably worse rulers than the later Germans.

Soviet Union was mainly ruled by Russians and more significant, when they had non-Russian ancestry like Stalin they were self-conscious about this and also happy to intermarry with Russians.

USSR was mainly ruled by Russians only after Stalin’s death in the early 1950s. In the 1920s it was a mixture of Caucasians, Jews, Latvians, a Pole. Stalin and his fellow Georgian Beria killed most of the Jews and Balts and made it a mostly Caucasian-run enterprise in the 1930s and 1940s. Although yes, the rulers of the 1920s to 1940s didn’t mind marrying Russian women, unlike the previous German owners of these lands.

I’m surprised Russian aristocrats put up with that, or were they also all German?

An important subset were, and there was intermarriage at that level. And many had other foreign origins, from Rurikid to Tatar. They all spoke French with one another and were rather alienated from the Slavic masses. They tended to stick together.

But the autocrats were pure Germans.

The native Russian aristocrats lived well under the German rulers. When serfdom of Slavic peasants was expanded and made far more severe under the initiative of German rulers of Russia, the native aristocrats benefited from the harsher and stricter labor requirements. They may have been too well taken care of to rebel. And it may have been less disruptive to the state, to have a purely German ruling family who did not choose brides from native families but from Germany.

a prize given to a runner-up or a loser in a contest

Who is the winner if not Russia

China and the USA. Though Trump seems desperate to fumble the victory by starting feuds with all of his allies.

but Russia is winning. They got everything they wanted or most of it

Russia wanted Kiev and a friendly pro-Russian government there. It sent to their deaths a lot of elite troops in the failed attempt to achieve that. How did that work out?

It did not invade Ukraine for the purpose of getting a strip of land on the Azov Sea. That’s the consolation prize it got for failing in its actual goals.

And what spectacular failures they were. Instead of a friendly demilitarised Russian puppet state, Russia has a hostile one armed to the teeth with capabilities such as a native cruise missile with 1000 km range, millions of drones produced a year, jet-powered drones, that were undreamed of in 2022. A state where the Russian language is disappearing.

Russia itself is multiethnic but not a melting pot like the USA

Verbal distinction without a difference

Actually that is a huge difference. In a melting pot everyone gets assimilated. Multiethnic countries such as the USSR, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Ottoman Empire were different worlds. I know however that you know very little about any of these places.

Frankfurt, the most multicultural city in Germany, in 2021 and it was mostly European…

You don’t get around much, do you? I do, Frankfurt is not-European any more, but it’s better than the English cities

Frankfurt is about 50% German but half of the non-Germans are Europeans, so the city is about 75% European.

You are bull-shiting: almost all Western Euro cities are visibly non-European, some more, some less. But the trend is unmistakable. Even Vienna (my favorite city) has today 50% of school-age kids who of migrant background

Frankfurt and Berlin are not visibly majority non-European. Nor Vienna. British cities may be, but UK isn’t even in the EU anymore. Your sour grapes about Western Europe is not so widely applicable.

As for Vienna, I saw with my own eyes that it’s about as non-European as Moscow. Perhaps 10%, maybe 15% at most.

And my perception matches reality:

https://www.wien.gv.at/english/social/integration/facts-figures/population-migration.html

“At the beginning of 2024, 1,295,341 Viennese were Austrian nationals, while 911.152 were of foreign origin. The main countries of origin of Viennese who are foreign nationals or were born abroad have hardly changed over the past years: at the beginning of 2024, 99,627 people originated from Serbia, 76,620 from Turkey, 71,473 from Germany and 55,223 from Poland.”

Most foreign Viennese are from Europe. Since many Viennese themselves have Czech, Croat, Hungarian etc. ancestors this is no big deal, it makes the Viennese the most attractive of “Germans.”

Your 50% foreign student number in Vienna is for public not private Catholic schools. And again, half of these are kids with Croatian, Serb, Polish, now Ukrainian parents. So around 75% of Viennese public school students are European kids.

Btw at least you recognize that Vienna and Montreal are great places.

“African-American slavery” (Western European enslavement and relocation of black Africans in the Western hemisphere) was a strange thing. Most earlier slavery seems less philosophical and was often more about bad luck. The oversimplified thought process behind it was sometimes like this: our countries fought a war, your country lost, now you are a slave, but hey, we let you live! I think the Europeans recognized that African people on average seemed to be intrinsically less intelligent and were therefore deemed fair game for enslavement on this basis. By fair game, I mean the Europeans found it easier to rationalize the institution. I suppose some viewed the slaves as animals to be harvested. Every time an intelligent black person turned up the cognitive dissonance must have been world shattering.

I used to think all slavers should be killed on sight without discussion. Then I realized that after wars some cultures might enslave the remaining attackers to allow the weakened but winning side to survive. The results of this expedient mistake might be worse than death, so maybe I can stick with the rule: kill all slavers on sight.

means that they stand for something important

No it doesn’t mean that. It just means that Balto-Slav people have been historically unable to transcend their petty differences and aim at true greatness that they can only achieve together. Together they opened the way to space exploration, divided they ended up killing each other for months for a few hundred square kilometres and a couple dozen hamlets. Tragically stupid.

It started later in Muscovy than in Western and Central Europe. Before the Time of Troubles, Russian peasants had the right to move freely from one landlord to another. The enserfing process was gradual. It just became really hard under Peter the Great who actually copied Prussia and Lithuania-Poland, and became especially harsh under Catherine the Great, when it was expanded to modern day Ukraine and Tatarstan / Bashkiria.

Interestingly, the hardest westernizers among the World empire rulers were also the hardest bent on enforcing and/or perpetuating serfdom. One has to keep in mind though that the Old Believers had mostly avoided the serfdom because they lived in hard to reach locations. If one looks at true Old Rus way of life, one should look at Old Believer communities.

The Raskol was the beginning of the end for the Old Rus way of life. It survived the Mongols, but not the (Prussian descent) Romanovs. The Bolshevik – with their kolkhoze slavery – were westernizers too.

one strategy that would come to my mind is declaring that I will be sending thousands of NATO troops to Ukraine. And if I wasn’t sure that the announcement of such plans would prevent the ceasefire, then I would clarify that I am preparing myself to make sure that these troops enter Ukraine very rapidly as soon as any ceasefire is declared, as Keir Starmer has just done.

Just Globalist British shabbos goyim “elites” being themselves. Also, Macron started his career working for the Rothschilds. So basically, it’s the Coalition of the Willing to kill and die for Rothschilds’ interests. If you need to explain WW3 to someone in the future, just tell them that the Rothschilds wanted it. Why they want it? Perhaps something to do with the DeFi and the end of the fiat currency era. They probably hope to be the ones implement the “right” CBDC protocols after the destruction of the current monetary system during the WW3. You know that Phoenix post-apocalyptic world currency they wrote about in the Economist decades back.

Who is the winner if not Russia

China and the USA.

How? China is not involved and their friendship with Russia predates the Ukraine crisis. US lost with the plan to get Ukraine into NATO and it also cost huge amount of US treasure, $350 billion or close to it.

One more time: Crimea is super-valuable and was not sustainable with Azov sea shared with Kiev. Russia took 20% of the most valuable lands…they didn’t have effective control before 2022 – it was war zone and no development was possible. The option of a neutral-demilitarized multi-ethnic Ukraine was never available – Kiev and the West absolutely rejected it before losing this war. Now they will agree to it.

To say that “third-parties” won or that “everyone lost” is a cop-out that can be said about any war. Get real, who won if not Russia?

I gave you a list of cities in Western Europe that are no longer recognizably European. You responded by saying that some cities in CE are not that bad. That’s irrelevant – the large cities in Western Europe I listed are all non-Euro. Why do you hide from it?

In a melting pot everyone gets assimilated.

Have you been to LA, Miami, most of the US Southwest? Assimilation? Riiiight….On the hand, A-H and Ottomans put all their effort into assimilation. They failed but you retroactively claim they were “multi-cultural”, weird. So if you fail to kill a person and say now you wanna be friends people should just forget about what you really wanted?

Your responses generally no longer pass the laugh test…What’s going on, are you so distraught by the Ukie loss in the war? Are you wistful for that opportunity Kiev had to obey by the Minsk deal and avoid this catastrophe?

they ended up killing each other for months for a few hundred square kilometres and a couple dozen hamlets. Tragically stupid.

I agree that it is tragically stupid, but you need to ask yourself who first started this stupid killing spree. Certainly, if somebody started shooting up your home and threatened the welfare of your family, you’d do everything to try and save your family and your home from destruction?…

Amusing.

As one former senior administration official puts it: “You try working for him and not chasing pills with alcohol.”

Trump’s White House Was ‘Awash in Speed’ — and Xanax
Under Trump, the White House Medical Unit was “like the Wild West,” and staffers had easy access to powerful stimulants and sedatives, sources tell Rolling Stone

who first started this stupid killing spree

The war started in 2014. And as you yourself admitted, Ukrainian Russophobia predates the war. On the contrary, there was no hatred towards Ukraine in RF before perhaps very recently. Ukrainian Russophobia led to Maidan, which led to the coup against Yanukovich, which brought the likes of Parubyi and Turchinov to power, Donbas and Crimea separatism, Russian intervention and civil war in Donbas. Eight years later, the civil war turned into a full blown war between Ukraine and Russian Federation. So arguably, those who encouraged Russophobia in Ukraine are the ones who have sown the seeds of this war. Who were those people?

Angela Merkel is by far the #1 offender. She openly admitted that she caused Zelensky to break the Minsk Agreements. Other, distinctly non-Jewish, voices include European Globalist elites, notably BoJo, Macron, and Scholz. Poland has had distinctly anti-Russian attitudes for decades. Karlin posted several articles on this while he was still here.

Obama’s cadre participated in some of the original issues back in 2014. However, for the last 8 years American Christians, including myself, sought disengagement. There was comparatively little money during Trump’s 1st term, and that was about domestic impeachment politics. Team Biden’s regime ran under orders from foreign powers and worked against American citizens. Expenditures of ~$250 billion that could have been used on domestic issues.

Trump will eventually regain U.S. national prestige and honour by cutting support for Kiev aggression. There is no obvious money for Führer Zelensky’s forces in the Continuing Resolution. Unfortunately, it looks like there will continue to be shipments for a while longer until the money from Team Biden’s time in office is exhausted.

PEACE 😇

as you yourself admitted, Ukrainian Russophobia predates the war.

As I stated, a distrust of Great Russian overlordship in Ukraine had been developing in Ukraine for several centuries, and not for nothing. I think that its normal for the subsumed nations of any imperial overreach to resent their colonial type status and yearn for more autonomy and a greater say in domestic and foreign relations.

Ukrainian Russophobia led to Maidan, which led to the coup against Yanukovich, which brought the likes of Parubyi and Turchinov to power, Donbas and Crimea separatism, Russian intervention and civil war in Donbas.

It wasn’t Ukrainian Russophobia that led to the Maidan and the eventual overthrow of Yanukovych. It was the abrupt about face of Yanukovych, who had for a full year been promoting a European orientation and then decided at the last moment to switch over to a kremlin led orientation (after some pretty hefty bribes from Putler to sweeten the pot for him and his family). This was a clear sign of closer Noviop cooperation, that you so often like to rail against. BTW, the European orientation that most Ukrainians desired was the same orientation that you had made earlier, to take advantage of more freedoms and opportunities that only the West could offer you.

No doubt this is true. Still, it is cute that they pretend the drug use is unusual for a modern White House crew. Presumably the Executive branch has a research doctor who can prescribe the good stuff, i.e. Schedule 1, for “research purposes” and visiting heads of state.

If you need to explain WW3 to someone in the future, just tell them that the Rothschilds wanted it. Why they want it? Perhaps something to do with the DeFi and the end of the fiat currency era.

No, I’m afraid it’s much-much more retarded than any of that. Nobody really wants to live in a nuclear aftermath world, not even the Rothschilds. But it doesn’t matter, lots of influential people are giving firm and coordinated steps in that direction nonetheless. If it ends in nukes, it won’t be because anybody wanted it, it will be because someone miscalculated and couldn’t backtrack in time. Exactly what JFK warned may happen one day (and he knew what he was talking about, having managed the Cuban missiles crisis). I think that having Trump/Vance in the White House has decreased the risk considerably though but not eliminated it. If the Europeans send their expeditionary force to Ukraine as a fait accompli and Putin decides that this time he can’t chicken out again, we’re in uncharted territory. What exactly would be so wrong with a UN peacekeeping force??
