The comment I responded to said that Russia should team up with the USA to denuclearize China. This would necessarily require confrontation with China, since China would never willingly denuclearize. The comment implied that this confrontation should take the form of an energy blockade (an act of war that would invite military retaliation). The same comment then says that Russia should work with the USA to fight against India, Iran, and Korea (why?). The entire comment can be summed up as “Russia should abandon its strategic autonomy to become a puppet of the USA and allow itself to be used as cannon fodder to dismantle enemies of the American empire.” It illustrates that even American rightoids who claim to want “friendship with Russia” do not even entertain the idea of Russia having its own strategic interests and can only envision such “friendship” as a relationship of domination within the context of global American primacy.

Why do 500 million Europeans need America to protect them from 150 million Russians? Europe has willfully chosen to freeload off the US defense for decades. It now has to realize this is no longer tenable.

It was not said in the text that Russia will team up with the US to fight against China. Russia will not turn against China.

People who say stuff like this (usually MAGA retards) never mention what would be in it for Russia. Why would Russia want to team up with the USA to fight against China? The USA is a dying dumpster fire empire that provides nothing of value to the world except for its (soon-to-be-worthless) currency and access to its (currently collapsing) consumer market. China, on the other hand, is Russia’s major trading and strategic partner that produces many items of value and has a growing consumer market. What would be in this arrangement for Russia? Do American rightoids seriously believe that Russia exists to pull their worthless asses out of the fire they built for themselves? Or that Russia would want to sacrifice their own interests to do that?

There is no need to ‘contain’ Russia. That is nonsense. Since the 90’s Russia did everything humanly possible to be our friend, even though our Jews and their Jews looted the country. Putin put an end to the worst of the asset stripping, although most of the Russian oligarchs remaining are still Jews. The only reason this conflict resumed, is that the American Jews (Browder, et. al.) wanted to go back to full-scale looting. That and the fact that the Neocon descendants of Podhoretz, Kristol, etc. have a familial hatred of Russia.

America and Russia should have always been friends and allies, if its one thing the globalists hate its a power bloc to resist their bullshit. As Europe commits suicide through feminism, homosexual enforcment, and muslim hordes, it will have a choice between a continent wide revolution or the dustbin of history. Trump and Putin should have a frank and deadly serious discussion with the E.U. to knock it off or else. China, like Japan in ww2, is reliant on external energy supplies. Job one for the U.S. and Russia is to denuclearize China and Korea, followed by India, Pakistan, and Israel. Lets return to 1946 and do it right this time. Turkey and Iran will have to fall in line or else.

Washington seeks to contain China; Europe seeks to contain Russia.

Nonsense. Washington seeks to contain both Russia and China. It wants to use Europe to contain Russia. Europe doesn’t seek anything because it is not a sovereign entity and does not (in fact, is not allowed to) make decisions pertaining to strategy. That is what it means to be a vassal.

Washington viewed Russia as a potential co-player in global resource extraction, Arctic development, and strategic balancing; Europe continued to frame Russia as a permanent existential enemy.

More nonsense. The USA does not view Russia as a “partner” in anything. This talk of “resource extraction” is meant to be a callback to the 90s. The USA is hoping to entice the so-called “Russian oligarchs” to oppose the Russian state and force them to surrender to the USA. In return, they would be invited to help facilitate the looting of Russia. The only “resource extraction” the USA wants is extraction of Russia’s resources to the west. The USA would get the wealth, the “Russian oligarchs” would get some kickbacks, and the Russian people wound get the privilege of being used as cannon fodder in America’s effort to contain China. That is America’s proposal for Russia, which is why it has been repeatedly rejected. Europe has nothing to do with this because Europe’s strategic interests, if Europe were sovereign, would be strategic partnership and trade with Russia.

Serves ossified and decrepit Europe right. I doubt anyone outside Europe will shed a tear for it.

Washington seeks to contain China; Europe seeks to contain Russia

Lol

Only problem they’re all in on it. As I revealed before these purported adversarial meganations of the world (US/Russia/China) are in reality governed by the same supranational cabal of Jewish-Communist central bankers/oligarchs pretending to be ‘enemies’. Its all modeled after the setup in Orwells 1984, where the three superpowers (Oceania/Eurasia/Eastasia–now repackaged as NATO/BRICS) pretend they’re ‘enemies’ in their apparent geopolitical policies/actions, but are actually in on the global conspiracy together as they coordinate/manage their techno-Communist world control over ‘humanity’ vis a vis war, terrorism, & mind control. Their long-range goal of course is to substitute the whites (Germanics-Celts-Slavs) with robots & wogs. But hey, that’s how ZWOG operates brah.

A.A.

Airspace constraints would apply equally to any other jets, including F-16s that Belgium was flying previously. If they really need more space, well, Belgium is not going to fight any wars independently – it will only be a part of larger NATO forces so they need to train for interoperability with other NATO members anyway.

Shouldn’t they have thought of this before they bought the bloody thing?

the f 35 is a joke, so it is the perfect choice for this joke of a nation. the flying lemon broke down before it could be delivered. 🤣😂😆😅 who would want a new car that broke down before it could be driven off the lot? this is just the beginning of the never ending repairs and patches, to this over hyped over priced, outdated piece of junk.

not that the rafales would have been any better, as modi found out when his shinny new rafales got shot down by superior chinese jets, flown by pakistan. modi’s moving on to su 57’s now, having learned his lesson. the western arms industry is not about making the best weapons systems, it’s about making money and back room deals that enrich corrupt politicians.

the air space won’t be an issue though, because these hanger queens will be out of service most of the time. also when the e.u. goes all fourth reich and institutes a military schengen system, they can fly all over europe, until they come crashing or splashing down, as they are want to do.

It just occurred to me, since the Pentagon and the US taxpayers paid for the r&D and development costs of every step of production; shouldn’t the American taxpayers get a fat cut of the profits, at least until our investment in this waste is repaid?

We will never hear again of the biological warfare laboratories in the Ukraine, close to the Russian border, a Russian general (if memory servers) paid with his own life for courageously mentioning and trying to bring attention to.

This is, and has been part ever since the laboratories were discovered, part of the Peace Plan (which includes some more points besides the 28 that are written; not dismantling the Dniepr bridge and preventing Ukraine to fights its war, so that a satisfying number of soldiers on both sides would perish or be crippled for a lifetime, was another: and probably the opening condition in some document that was never written, or was written but will never be read by the public.)

Since the war against Russia using proxies like Ukraine, the EU, NATO, the UK, or any other junior partners or victims being a US operation since the 2014 coup (and 2004 color revolution), not consulting the clowns in Brussels, London, Paris or Berlin is of little incidence except for the media, which will report what they are told to say, as usual.

As for the pathetic puppet regime of Jewish dictator Zelensky, it should be the last to be consulted as he is obviously just a US/EU/UK sock puppet, not even a partner, rather the village bicycle that everyone can ride..

I feel sorry for Ukrainians because their country is now fully in the hands of the Jews who control the US and their European lackeys on one side, and in the hands of other oligarchs on the Russian side.

They lost everything besides the war, but they are to blame since they ‘elected’ the lowlife actor Zelensky who was to destroy and sell-out Ukraine to the worst bidders.

If the war continues, Ukraine will lose more territories, Europeans will get poorer and poorer to the point when they might finally grow some balls and take down the criminal politicians who destroy their nations.
If the Jewish dictator and his handlers are forced to accept the peace plan, Ukraine will be plundered from all sides, with the biggest chunk to the US and their Jewish masters.

The ideal solution would be a real revolution, a bloody one, where Ukrainians would remove the current dictatorship, install a sovereign government, sign a peace treaty with Russia alone and make sure to remove all influence from their western ”friends” who are responsible of the demise and deaths suffered by their country.

Nobody won this war as Russia didn’t liberate all territories that voted to rejoin (as they were originally part of Russia) Russia. Russia is now surrounded by NATO members with US puppet regimes of Sweden and Finland which were neutral now part of it.
Hydrocarbons exports to Europe are on their way to extinction killing European economies like Germany and affecting Russia’s economy. Russia turned now towards Asia where the real economic progresses are and will be happening.
Europe, thanks to the collection of traitors in all EU countries + UK is going down rapidly and will soon enter a new dark ages.
The US, with its 33 trillion debt, its never ending wars, regime changes and genocides is a total failure and is now the most hated country in the world after “israel”.

As usual, the bankers, the profiteers, international Jewry, the oligarchs and all the Blackrock of this world are the ones ‘winning’ (for the moment), profiting form genocide as much as they profit from wars.

Until, people one day wake-up and start to exterminate them back as they deserve.

If this is geopolitical analysis, then Ricardo is better off working as a janitor than writing serious stuff based on newspaper reports. What a bunch of crap without even taking into consideration what the original and still continue as the war aims of Russia. This American rubbish doesn’t address any of them , so this war will continue till Ukraine cease to exist as a viable country.

Don’t know what I was thinking. More like Satanic Shrews. Could be Hateful Harpies, though.

if there is a method to trump’s madness (and that’s a big if), it is completely diversionary. trump is pressuring ukraine to accept these phony conditions, knowing full well zelensky will never agree to them. this way they will continue to to bring down as many of his supporting cast members, on corruption charges, weakening him, as russia continues to collapse the ukranazi front lines.

kellogg is leaving in january and will be replaced with a hard line successor. when russia makes the facts on the ground, taking all of the four new oblasts and then some, trump will then trumpet that he had a much better deal worked out with the russians but zelensky blew it and now the russians are demanding much more than that and they better take this deal or risk losing the whole country.

putin will get exactly what he has demanded all along and trump will “talk him into” giving back some parts of ukraine they currently occupy, so trump can look like the great peace maker, who got back some of ukraine, that had been lost. zelensky can then be blamed for everything and the corruption investigation into his administration, can then take down the current e.u. leadership as well, allowing trump’s vulture banksters to loot and pillage the e.u. and whatever is left of the ukrainian rump state.

if they was anything at all worked out in alaska, it was a deal to jointly develop the arctic, a ukrainian “peace deal” is just cover, so people will be willing to accept russia and u.s. working together.

After four years of Russian war, coupled with Russian propaganda, Putin may be achieving his goals through Trump. Russia has proven to be a paper tiger, similar to Israel. Trump’s name should be added to Donbass, which Putin spent four years trying to “liberate” from Ukraine. If he stays in power, Putin will try again to cross the Dnipro River and take Kherson, Mykolaiv, and maybe Odessa. In return, Russia will likely continue to act as a vassal state to the U.S. Iran, North Korea, and China must be on high alert. They should not forget Russia’s betrayal of Syria, Palestine, and Armenia.

i’m afraid i must take exception to your language, xyzxy. referring to kallas and von der lugen, as milfs is beyond the pale and an insult to milfs everywhere. von der lugen is at best a giwfwyd (grandmother i wouldn’t fuck with your dick). kallas does dallas, is a double bagger (one bag over her head and another over yours, in case her bag falls off).

now as to sister sanae, she appears to be an autistic “comfort woman” (as they are known in her culture). all of them are coyote ugly, meaning if you woke up next to them, you’d chew your own arm off, rather than risk waking them, in order to get away.

The situation changes from day to day, so it’s difficult to write much about that. However I would like to comment on Martins’ language. He writes:

European partners, meanwhile, seem to have been excluded entirely.

I would ask him how the Europeans are in any way ‘partners’? First, if they are excluded from negotiations, and second, if they must either accept or walk away from the US position? What sort of partnership does that entail? I realize that people use words loosely, in a casual manner. But really…

As an aside, what is it with these European Militant Milfs? Kallas and Gertrud von der Leyen? Happy to conduct war at the expense of men who will fight it, and die. And now we have Sister Sanae Takaichi, ready to go to war against China, over Taiwan island. What is that about? Does she expect to get that piece of geography back, like it was before the last Big War?

The current corruption scandal is timed to create pressure on the Ukrainian regime. Why now? They’ve been rottenly corrupt from the beginning. The US was mucking about in Ukraine for a long time, organizing and paying off people which culminated in the coup of 2014. The regime has been illegitimate since then, the various players enriching themselves by following the guidelines set out by their Western patrons. The Zelensky bunch are getting out while they still can. Word is that Zelensky has rejected the proposed deal which they’ve published. The Russians will have to topple the regime and appoint a new government to reorient Ukraine much as the US did in Japan and Germany.

A possible peace agreement for Ukraine may be announced very soon

Its possible the two Commie-Chabad-Jew controlled governments of Russia & Ukraine have decided they’ve iced enough white men & demolished white Ukrainian culture sufficiently in their staged coordinated Waste Whitey war, as they advance Whiteocide vis a vis ‘hastening the coming of Mashiach’.

It includes elements on restoring U.S.–Russia relations and addressing Russia’s long-standing security concerns — effectively framing it as a vision for “lasting security” in Europe.

This raises obvious questions about why Europe itself is not directly involved.

The answer is equally obvious.

Certain European countries (primarily Germany, France, and the UK) have governments officially locked into policies that antagonize Russia. Trying to publicly involve parties with no flexibility to make open concessions leads to failed negotiations. One wonders what is going on quietly, behind the scenes.

Macron is on his 6th PM nomination. Starmer could be forced to step down by his own Labor members. Merz’s coalition is threatened by disputes over pensions. The opportunity lies in presenting the European troika with a fait accompli. If Zelensky becomes reasonable or is replaced there is little they can do about it.

Not only are all three politically weak, their administrations have potentially fatal budget problems. They cannot publicly say that they want to cut spending on Kiev aggression. However, the finances of all 3 nations look much better if the huge cash outflows stop. Ending Europe’s Folly in Ukraine actually benefits their countries, even if they loudly complain about Trump while pocketing the savings.

PEACE 😇

This “negotiation” is just more of the Trump admin negotiating with itself, pretending that they have any leverage, while ignoring everything that Russia has said. It’s very unlikely that it will turn out any differently from the other rounds of fake negotiations that the USA has initiated.

It is a sort of affirmative action for female politicos.

‘ … female hysteria of the Russian bear ….’.

I have read that menstruating women are officially warned not to enter woodlands where bears are present, by US Park and Wildlife authorities, due to the imperceptible – to humans, at least – apparently triggering the bears.

Just about says it all, really.

‘Why can’t the citizens of the mass nation states such as Germany, France, Italy etc see this absurdity for what it is?’

They do see it for what it is but you’re assuming they have some say in the matter.

What was this article about? “Kaja Kallas is not very good at being a ZOG puppet because she lacks the experience and whatnot.” Yes, that’s true. But aren’t you more concerned that she’s a ZOG puppet rather than that she’s not a very good ZOG puppet?

Should we ignore that she got her lawyer education and family wealth because her father was a senior Soviet official?

Here is Kallas saying the west needs to break up Russia into smaller states.

Video Link

Kaja Kallas is under the control of Ursula von der Leyen. Her characteristics as described in this article, are features, not bugs.

Shows the weakness of Western Man to allow unqualified women from tiny countries into such high leadership positions. When I think of Kallas lecturing Russia like a barking Chihuahua, it reminds me of the Peter Sellers comedy “The Mouse that Roared.”

Plus, Kallas isn’t as pretty as the discredited dirty dancer, Sanna Marin, who pushed for Finland (without allowing a referendum) to join NATO, thus giving up the neutrality it had enjoyed since WWII.

Now, the Empire is building military bases along its 830-mile border with Russia. Due to Marin’s feminist leadership, along with 5 other female party leaders (4 under 35), friendly relations and trade between the two countries came to an end, with female hysteria of the Russian Bear playing a large part.

Allowing women, few with any combat experience, into high positions has played a large part in the rapid descent of the West. My sincere hope is that Finland and the Baltics won’t be next.

The point is why should an Estonian woman – a nation of just over 1 million inhabitants – should be leading 450 million EU citizens by the nose?

An absurdity of all absurdities.

Why can’t the citizens of the mass nation states such as Germany, France, Italy etc see this absurdity for what it is?

…in the emerging multipolar era..

Lol

Too bad NATO & BRICS are owned/governed by the same transnational Zionist-Commie central banking system. If it wasn’t for that integral fact, then the NATO vs. BRICS schism would be more believable to higher IQ people.

The great majority of Jews in Russia emigrated quickly to Russia

Should be to Israel. The SMO has acted like a sifter, overall. Those Russians who were fence sitters, ambivalent, not sure of the authenticity of the their own culture, admirers of the “Liberal Limpoverall Culture” of the West [alternatives always seem to look better from a distance], had cold water of Reality splashed in their faces, revealing the true state of the West since February, 2022. For many Russians, if was wake up time.

The difference between Germans of 2025 and Germans of 1939 is staggering. That we Westerners laud the transformation of a proud, industrious, valiant ethnic entity into a nation of clueless, suicidal Eloi should reveal to us that we too are victims of ‘denazification.’

RT news recently ran a piece praising Germans for their humiliating transformation. Why? Because that stance is inherent in Russia’s myth of the “Great Patriotic War.”

Again, why? Here’s the crux of the matter. The head of RT is the supposed Armenian, Margarita Simonovna Simonyan. The surname ‘Simonyan’ means son of Simon.

How does the United States of 2025 compare with Germany of 1939? Are today’s Americans proud, industrious, and valiant? What does the presence of a U.S. naval strike force off the coast of Venezuela tell us about our valor?

One of my grand-nephews is a drone operator in the U.S. Army. Is he a valiant American? Another is in U.S. Air Force ‘cyber defense.’ Is he a valiant American?

You tell me.

Modern warfare has rendered concepts like valor and honor hors de combat.

“Meanwhile, the economic cost is immense. The loss of cheap Russian gas has accelerated Germany’s deindustrialization, pushed energy prices to record highs, and benefited U.S.”

The phrase “be careful what you wish for” comes to mind.

Poland and many other former Warsaw Pact countries in Eastern Europe joined the “EU” for one reason only: the dibs.

Namely:

a) EU subsidies, mainly from Germany;
b) Labor mobility, mainly outflows of Polish workers to Germany and the UK;
c) Access to EU markets for investment inflows and mainly agricultural outflows.

Germany is the economic engine of the EU. However, a now de-industrializing German economy cannot ever hope to compete with China.

The main result of the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline economic terrorism is that China has near monopsony buying power for Russian natural gas. Thanks to economic sanctions, China now also enjoys the same near monopsony buying power over Russia for other valuable raw material inputs (e.g., coal, oil, and minerals) for Chinese refining and manufacturing.

The geniuses who conceived and executed the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline economic terrorism ended up massively subsidizing China, a manufacturing superpower that is the EU’s main competitor.

Finally, it’s not just Germany’s economy that is rapidly declining. How much longer can Germany afford to be the economic sugar daddy for heavily subsidized EU dependents like Poland?

The Ukraine War had unintended? consequences. The great majority of Jews in Russia emigrated quickly to Russia. Many weak nationalists, flaky liberals [whom Putin and the Siloviki despise] fled to their imagined paradise, Western Europe. Many oligarchs whose yachts, villas, and other holdings were seized by the EU, creating a strong urge to repatriate assets.

Putin hates “liberals”, globalist Russians, and generally intellectually and morally weak people without love of the Motherland. Every official in the Kremlin had to have the same fervor AND be an Orthodox Christian [required by Putin].

radoslaw sikorski gave away the whole show with his boot licking tweet, thanking the brandon administration for making good on braindead joe’s mafioso threats to blow up the nord stream. sikorski is married to anne applebaum, a zioneocon propagandist media whore of the worst kind. poland is just itching to be ukranized by the russian federation and just keeps poking the the bear with a stick. they already have new cemeteries filling up with polish mercenaries and who knows how many are currently fertilizing the rich soil of the former ukraine.

these e.u. swine never appreciated the russian gift of affordable long term contracts on gas and oil, that allowed their industries to thrive and enrich the people of their nations. their wicked and deceitful ways have come back to haunt them and there is a delicious irony, in their attempts to destroy the russian economy and balkanize their country, that have rebounded back upon them with a vengeance.

now it is the e.u. that appears to be crumbling, the back stabbing and renewal of old hostilities is threatening the entire block. it couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of pollacks, krauts, frogs and degos, that’s exactly what they deserve for spitting in the russian hand, that had been extended to them in friendship.

let them fight amongst themselves like in the good old days, the russians are done with europe and have wisely turned eastward, in search of new business partners that aren’t a bunch of zog pedos and faggots. europe deserves its new turd world shit hole status, as does the u.s., that has occupied them since 1945 and will never leave, because these people are too stupid to throw these parasites out.

Hadja Lahbib? What in the name of Heaven is a sand-nigger asiatic women having any say running anything in Europa?

J. R. Martins,

How do you think the status of these frozen Russian assets will be resolved?

What specific steps do you envision will be taken related to the assets by any of the relevant countries? My assumption is these monies are mostly lost, though Russia may eventually receive a token repayment.

In one hypothetical scenario, Russia will continue their combat efforts as-is for at least another year. However, after spring 2026 there will be substantial efforts to replace the Kiev government with one capable of reaching a peaceful settlement with the Kremlin. This transition may lead to civil war in Ukraine. At some point the Russians will have de facto control of all territory east of the river and will transition from combat to policing in this area. In Western Ukraine they will continue long-range bombardment of NATO equipment and NeoNazis for the foreseeable future. Or something like that.

Will such a hypothetical new government in Kiev (nominally pro-Russian) be able to convince the West to free up the Russian assets in Belgium? Or will such a government be shunned and treated as illegitimate by the EU, even if it clearly has the support of a majority of Ukrainians?

“frozen, confiscate” – “potato, potahto”

Damage already done.

More and more draconian measures now being legislated by the European Union and in the U.K, which is still in the Union but through the stealth of a rigged election to get a Europe dupe in power in Starmer.

I said at the start that the elite will come after you if you threatened their position at the top and their agenda. These people, at the top, are the worst of the worst…thats why they think nothing about supplying weapons to Israel to kill women and children.

The illusion of democracy is now over, they let you have your say as long as that say never threatened their wealth and privilege… that’s over now.

Democracy in the West was always a sham…the great unwashed were always herded into issues they could talk about and debate and the printing of money to put coin in everyone’s pocket so they can have a full stomach worked beautifully until the rest of the world wanted the same…now there is a fight over limited resources on the planet and the European elite are clamping down and readying us for war…and dissension will not be tolerated!

It’s only odd if you believe that the Netherlands is a sovereign state and that their government makes decisions on the basis of rational self interest of the Netherlands. When you understand that the Netherlands (and most of the rest of Europe) are just American puppets carrying out American objectives contrary to the interests of their own states, then it is not odd at all.

One of America’s goals is to hobble the European economy so that it cannot operate as an independent actor. For example, they want to make Europe dependent upon the USA for energy and food (remember Netherlands farmer protests?). Blowing up trade between Europe and China or Europe and Russia furthers that end, as well. America wants Europe to remain as a starved and beaten dog on a short chain, and Euro puppet leaders comply with American demands towards that end.

A sovereign Europe would recognize the USA as its greatest enemy.

The problems doing that should be obvious to any rational person

Do you think the Gulf countries and their fortunes had major influence over De Weve “veto”?

Yes the seizure of Russian assets is a vastly dangerous legal and economic trickbag, of which Belgium’s Prime Minister Bart De Wever who blocked the seizure, is well aware

Belgium’s De Wever – from the party representing the more market-inclined side of Flemish nationalism – has already been chafing about public criticisms of Belgium as a mafia state serving the massively corrupt Von der Leyen EU Commission – as in the meme just below. Belgium is in effect the ‘EU police force’, bribed to indulge EU crime, and Von der Leyen even calls the Belgians her ‘piglets’.

And what Trump is proving in the USA is that big political changes do occur, where the crimes of a past regime are suddenly in line for prosecution. The next EU Commission, supervising an economically-collapsing Europe, might well be eager to make a new deal with Russia for cheap energy … and Belgium could easily become the scapegoat for ‘illegal actions against Russia’, after the EU reverses gears.

Belgium’s De Wever also has been challenged about how ‘supporting Ukraine’ ignores the huge crimes of Ukraine killing 13,000 minority Russians in Donbass 2014-22, which even Von der Leyen privately admitted was full legal basis for Russia invading, given the parallels to the 2010 Hague Int’l Court Kosovo case, where legal opinon declared that:
It is NOT illegal for a region to declare independence (Kosovo from Serbia, Donbass from Ukraine)
and it is also NOT illegal for that seceding region to get outside help (Kosovo from EU-NATO, Donbass from Russia)

The sheer number of neologisms per sentence in this post were jarring, but this one:

these zato idiots have now morgenthaued themselves

…made it all worth it.

“To morgenthau” is an absolutely delightful verb, especially in this context.

To be fair, the whole “achieve green communist utopia by 2030-50” has always been an auto-morgenthau plan of action, but it was supposed to be protracted soft landing into a North Ethiopia existence, with a supposed sudden switch to a Brown Tranny Jetsons-style futurism around 2050.

Whereas now currents events are in a way even accelerating the utopia.

What is very odd is that the Dutch government did not bother to consult the Chinese government.

Dutch leaders should inform the Chinese government that Nexperia’s Chinese ownership would negatively impact Dutch labor and export, it has to do something to minimize potential loss. The two governments would then find a way acceptible to both.

Something is definitely missing.

Belgium reputation is positive because they managed to halt the confiscation of the Russia’s frozen assets. Poland and the Baltic countries wanted to do it at all costs.

the russians aren’t stupid, they knew that the 300 billion was going to be illegally seized. this was the cheese left in the rat trap, this was all part of the larger economic war, they are waging with the zato west. they have totally turned the tables on the rules based orders club. in the beginning of the s.m.o. we were told that the russian economy would be totally destroyed by their “crushing sanctions”.

this was the plan all along, bait russia into the e.u.kranazi bear trap, while the western ptb, destroy them economically, force regime change and then balkanize russia, grabbing up their immense reserves of national resources and complete the looting they had started in the 90’s, when putin threw a monkey wrench into the works and he has had a target on his back ever since.

if the west does confiscate these illegally seized assets, the russians will do the same in kind and western assets in the russian federation will be seized and this is the real reason, the rats can’t work up the nerve to do so. they keep encouraging one another, to be the bold rat that grabs the cheese and gets its neck broken.

their illegal sanctions have been quite effective at destroying economies but unfortunately for them, it’s their economies that are being destroyed. these zato idiots have now morgenthaued themselves, into complete deindustrialization, by cutting off their own lifeline of inexpensive russian energy to please their zioneocon masters.

europe will now end up being looted, just as they had planned to do to the russian federation and the russians have risen like a great two headed phoenix, from the ashes of the soviet union. this is why the russians are in no hurry to conclude the s.m.o., they have completely reshaped and reordered the entire world geopolitical situation and world economy and the brics nation have risen behind them.

this is the new rules based order and we have russian ingenuity, as well as western incompetence to thank for it.

Zelensky recently claimed that he is willing to fight on for at least another three years. He didn’t say where money to fund the war will come from (not to mention the soldiers). I suspect he is counting on the EU liquidating Russian assets. For their part, EU countries talk the talk, but have yet decided to walk it.

With this in mind, Piano Man signed a ‘letter of intent’ to ‘buy’ 150 Saab Viggen Grippen fighter jets, which the Swedes claim might be ready in three years (their engineers still have to figure out how to get rid of the torque steer).

What makes this so bizarre, however, is that no one has any idea where money to buy the jets could come from. Zelensky and the EU hardcores (Kaja Kallas, et al) would be happy to use Russian assets. But not even Kaja’s sisters, fellow EU feminist warriors Hadja Lahbib and Ursula von der Leyen are ready to lock and load over that plan.

But all is not lost. The women have cooked up another alternate scheme– EU countries will share the burden of loaning Ukraine the cash, which Ukraine can then ‘pay back’ once Russia sends in its reparations, after it loses the war. Reparations the EU will demand from Putin, and which he will be forced to pay.

These people are lunatics. They have no grasp on reality. But there you have it.

Thanks for this article on an important topic. Many of the European leaders seem very committed to the Western anti-Russia project in Ukraine. Potential return of these stolen assets seems to be one of the tools being used to create regime change in Russia. Such a change now seems unlikely so I will be pleasantly surprised if the assets are returned. Your mention of the underlying legal issues is helpful. However, even if the assets are returned now the damage to Belgium’s reputation is already done. Who would trust them unless they clean house? Are there any precedents which allow the involved bureaucrats and politicians to be fired and bankers charged with crimes?

agree with you and europe will now pay the usual price for befriending america. r.t. is reporting that the meeting has been “postponed”. romania has supposedly given consent to use an air corridor and now a russian oil refinery in romania has been attacked, most likely by ukranazis as a warning but who knows, there are a whole lot of the usual suspects that could be behind it. a russian refinery in hungary has also been attacked, even if trump is just bullshiting, the e.u. and their e.u.kranazis are taking it seriously, in fact they’re terrified.

I haven’t seen any evidence that this Budapest meeting is even happening. Trump said it was, but Trump is a lying sack of garbage. Peskov only said that such a meeting was discussed during the Putin-Trump call, but that no plans or dates had been set and that preparations would take a lot of time. Considering Trump is still going with the “freeze the conflict” line, and shows no willingness to consider Russia’s longstanding terms, or to even pretend that he understands what they are, I don’t see Russia wasting much time on it.

And Where is Europe in all this?

Why would Europe be anywhere “in all this?” Europe doesn’t matter. Should Russia invite Costa Rica or Sierra Leone to give their opinions on the Ukraine, too?

The challenge for Brussels is clear: to become once again a subject of history, not merely its spectator

That is not a challenge. It’s an impossibility. Europe had an opportunity to get out from under America’s boot, but they chose not to take it. Instead, they doubled down on being America’s bitch. It’s too late for Europe now. In a decade or two, Europe (outside of Russia and a handful of friendly countries) will likely be the poorest and least politically relevant continent on earth.

brussels is totally irrelevant and the e.u. will never be relevant again. the u.s. has purposefully destroyed their economies by demanding they not use russian gas and oil, since the first trump administration. biden even threatened to blow up the nord stream and then followed through on his threat. the e.u. which at first had showed great reluctance to this destruction of their manufacturing base, has now gone full seppuku and has just passed legislation to completely cut off all russian pipelines by 2028.

now we see why victor orban is so personally vested in these latest talks in budapest. putin has played this like the pro he is, first offering trump access to joint development of the arctic, unlocking unreachable weath that could breath life’s breath back into our dying ponzi scheme of an economy. now he’s offering joint development of a tunnel beneath the bearing straight, to link north america to the new economic powerhouse of eurasia, which would in effect connect the u.s. to the b.r.i. without the humiliation of asking china’s permission.

putin’s security demands have never changed, the four new oblasts are now part of the russian federation and any changes to that would require a change to the russian constitution and seems unlikely, as the russians are in no hurry to end the s.m.o. without meeting their security objectives. the ukrainian front lines are collapsing. trump is talking about ukraine giving up the donbass which the russians currently control, almost in its entirety. that’s not going to be enough to satisfy russian demands.

this seems to be one final lifeline offered to trump and the american economy, will trump be smart enough to take this unbelievable deal of a lifetime, perhaps the real issue is will trump’s masters allow him to take it. if not the skies ahead of us look very cloudy, for this country, its economy and its future.

What the author didn’t mention is that Putin expected Ukraine to not be in NATO and also hand over their long range weapons:

The Ukrainians wanted 800 tanks; the Russians would allow only 342. The difference between the range of missiles was even starker: 280 kilometres, or about 174 miles, (the Ukrainian position), and a mere 40 kilometres, or about 25 miles, (the Russian position),” the authors wrote, citing the final draft of the proposed treaty.

https://www.intellinews.com/fresh-evidence-suggests-that-the-april-2022-istanbul-peace-deal-to-end-the-war-in-ukraine-was-stillborn-321468/

There was never an agreement by both sides on that issue.

Which means Boris never broke an agreement that was about to be signed.

What would prevent Putin from continuing his invasion after Ukraine handed over their long weapons? His word? Well it was Putin that swore to the UN that he wouldn’t invade. It was a training exercise on the border, remember?

Putin defenders still lack an answer to this question and prefer to blame Boris.

Putin’s offer was a trap to disarm. That is why it was rejected. There was no British conspiracy.

Boris may be an SOB but that doesn’t give Putin credibility.

I have seen this sort of allegation before but no one has offered proof, as in this article.
How close was a “peace” deal really? I have heard it said that there was not agreement.
The corruption is alleged, not proven.
I am not saying it’s untrue, I am saying that we don’t have enough evidence.
I don’t argue that leaders are corrupt, they all are but we need more facts.

An insightful article. No country on earth can compete with China’s ability to mass produce hi-tech drones and the West is foolishly pushing Russia right into China’s arms.

I feel like I’m watching pro wrestling.

Trump pretending to be mad at Zelensky, the EU pretending to be at odds with Trump, BoJo jumping in the ring from the sidelines.

Unlike this fake scripted drama, NATO operates very deliberately behind the curtain, moving troops up to the borders, delivering arms, supplying intelligence and targeting data to Kiev, and interfering with elections to keep the reins of power in the right hands.

What was in it for Zelensky who has engineered the destruction of his supposed country, getting hundreds of thousands killed and crippled, losing millions through out migration, destroying the economy and infrastructure? One couldn’t find a better wrecker as he even now will send the dwindling supply of coerced cannon fodder to their deaths. Johnson relaxes in luxury whereas the exit plan for Zelensky hasn’t been made public. When the smoke clears it is Russia that will have made major forward strides. They’ll have reunited with all the Russian people and land that was sliced away from them by communists. Their military emerges as a powerful machine with advanced armaments. They’ve exited the world dollar system and have become self-reliant, being influential within BRICS and elsewhere. Were I to be a cynical conspiratorial type I’d say it was the Russians who put something into Johnson’s pocket. In the long run, who benefits the most?

peace in Ukraine was within reach

Yeah right.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, the war is simply being staged to waste Whitey; both ‘sides’ NATOUkriane/Russia are in on it & ruled by the same global cabal of anti-white Commie Jews.

Only problem is, Russia is governed by a cabal of Jewish oligarchs/rabbis/bankers just like NATOUkraine. Thus we see all this is simply some Orwellian coordinated sham war, where like in 1984, all the superpowers pretend they’re ‘enemies’ , but are actually in on the conspiracy to terrorize & liquidate their population. In the book it was done for ‘psycho-economic’ motives, but here its being done for psycho-racial purposes.

As Orwell stated in 1984: “It will be a world of terror.”

America is 28 trillion dollars in the hole and Venezuela is sitting on trillions in oil.

Whilst some of the points made by this writer may be valid, many more are completely dishonest.
Here’s a typical example – what he has to say about immigration.

Its migration policies—outsourcing asylum to Libya, where migrants face slavery-like conditions—further discredit its preached values.

That is all.
No mention of the Great Replacement facilitated by the EU.
No mention of the flooding of Europe with Muslims, blacks and other 3rd Worlders, aided and abetted by the EU.
No mention of the takeover of numerous European cities by these incomers.
No mention of the massive cost in social welfare for the host countries, the gross lawlessness in formerly peaceful countries ( eg Sweden ), and the increasingly unaffordable housing.
No mention of the increased taxation required to fund all of this, which undoubtedly impairs economic competitiveness.

Why should this be?
This article was first published in the Near Eastern Outlook Journal. It is published by the Russian Academy of Sciences after previously being directly published by the Russian Government. So it has official backing.

The reason that these matters are not discussed is that Russia is doing much the same thing itself. It is at an earlier stage, but the Russian Government has shown little desire to stop Central Asian immigration into Russia. As things stand, another 20 or 25 years would produce similar conditions as prevail in much of Europe at the present time.

I like the way Iran patiently waits for the U.S to get all its “ducks in a row” so they can carry out an imminent attack on Iran.

Why wouldn’t Iran hit U.S air assets now in Qatar before they bed in?

What is Iran afraid of… war with the U.S? Its like Iraq waited for the U.S to move all their assets into Saudi Arabi, then waited for the U.S to be ready to destroy them?

If the Iranians strike first are they going to be less destroyed than waiting for the U.S to get first punch in?

First rule of any war is to do what your enemy least wants you to do…and to me that is to knock them out of the continent with a devistating first strike.

The ‘Pakistan has THE BOMB’ theme is a window into what is the hugest hoax of the 20th century. Pakistan supposedly has had nukes since 1998 and has been in fairly constant political upheaval, yet no one gets significantly worried about these ‘nuclear bombs’ getting popped off by Pakistan’s rogue Islamics there.

The ‘nuclear bombs’ story as we know it today, appeared fully fleshed out in 1914 by ‘New World Order’ promoter and British elite Freemason H G Wells, who detailed it in his novel, ‘The World Set Free’. Wells wrote about ‘atomic bombs’ dropped from aircraft that obliterate entire cities and lead to global war. It was all there – in 1914 – a complete fiction.

In 1932 Jewish physicist Leó Szilárd read the H G Wells novel on ‘atomic bombs’, which ‘profoundly influenced’ him, and then Szilárd began selling the idea to fellow Jewish scientists, finally convincing fellow Jew Albert Einstein to join him in promoting the ‘nuclear bomb’ idea to FDR and the US government, right after Germans in Berlin discovered nuclear fission in late 1938.

It was the ideal ‘terror hoax’, and the fact that Hiroshima & Nagasaki – now totally proven to have been chemically firebombed like Tokyo – did not suffer anything new, was already in USA’s then-famous Reader’s Digest magazine in 1946. Russia joined the scam in 1949, becoming the ‘Best Enemy Money Can Buy’ with the fake ‘Cold War’ (Antony Sutton). Then UK, France, China, Israel …

Boomers can’t let go of the ‘nuke’ story, tho many youth – see 4chan – accept ‘nukes’ are fake. Books & major studies show how ‘nuclear bombs’ (vs nuclear power), are entirely a hoax: Mushroom clouds are standard in chemical blasts; those old ‘nuke’ videos are clearly doctored, etc. A crisp summary:

‘Hiroshima Revisited: Evidence that Napalm & Mustard Gas Helped Fake Atomic Bombings’, by Michael Palmer
https://mpalmer.heresy.is/webnotes/HR/download/hiroshima-revisited.pdf

excellent article, the u.s. and israel continue to dig their communal grave deeper and deeper. this is what happens when the only tool in your box is a hammer. when israel used drones to attack pakistani nuclear facilities during the dust up between india and pakistan, they made a critical error. when they made the even bigger mistake of attacking iran and their nuclear facilities, they sealed their fate.

after the failed decapitation strike, pakistan announced they were standing with iran, as did the chinese who are fed up with both the u.s. and israel, xi announced china would no longer tolerate attacks on their countries economic interests.

now after the doha attack, the saudis see that the u.s. will allow attacks to take place on their “allies” and are now signing a defense treaty with pakistan that was once unthinkable. forest trump is bringing the entire neighborhood together as well as the world, perhaps we should give him a dishonorable mention in the nobel prize he so covets.

at the time of israel’s attack on pakistan, the israeli press was running articles about how israel was going the denuclearize the middle east (except for them of course), their insufferable hubris has come back to haunt them. now pakistan has become the nuclear deterrent of the islamic world and with this new alliance with the saudis, saudi arabia is moving into china’s orbit, selling oil to the chinese in yuan, ending the petro dollar monopoly.

perhaps the saudi’s also understand the failure of u.s. patriots to protect their oil fields from yemeni drones, as well as the understanding the u.s. can disable their u.s. military equipment such as f 35’s, as well as sam systems. pakistan’s dominance over indian rafales using chinese j 10’s and pl 15 missiles, showed the outdated nature of western arms and equipment. the world is moving on and the u.s. and israel are being left behind, the dogs bark and the caravan moves on.

There’s humor is this.

As the Europeans circle down the toilet bowl they smile at each other and say, “This is fine.” (AKA “Wir schaffen das.”)

As Kevin MacDonald says of the jews: There’s deception, but there’s also auto-deception.

As the Associated Cranks of the Unz Review (ACTUR) say, “You can’t fix stupid.”

Let me modify my second paragraph.

Are we watching the final stage of Spengler’s vision? Yes, all in all, though Spengler’s benign botanical metaphor seems less and less apt. We are watching less the natural death of a living organism than the willful surrender of a civilization by pure human folly.

A lucid analysis, but incomplete. Dr. Martins ignores the elephant in the ‘garden’: the raw, physical replacement of the Europeans themselves by alien, hostile ‘jungle’ creatures.

Are we watching the final stage of Spengler’s vision? Yes, all in all, though Spengler’s benign botanical metaphor seems less and less apt. We are watching pure human folly willfully surrender a civilization.

I’m sorry to see it go, but resigned. No one on planet earth loved this civilization more than I.

“Boo-hoo,” you say. Go ahead. I don’t mind. We’re all in the same boat. You’ll miss the garden, too.

“We have always been at war with Eastasia.”

After three years of gaslighting, who can remember the days before the special military operation began in 2022?

NordStream promised a bright future for Europe. Trade and tourism going to and from western Europe and Russia was on the upswing.

If someone had fallen asleep in 2021, and woke up in 2025, they would be utterly confused by how they ended up in Orwell’s 1984.

Very good essay. Quite similar in the US
I remain less sanguine than the essayist re the US in reasons
for optimism. He does not point in the right relevant directions and
green shoots of possible change

Yet the convergence in the US is both evident in content and style of
argument. The fake left have always been ideologically blind to reality.
The fake right suffers from the very same in the US today. They self-destruct
even more quickly than the fake left comparing conversations over the
past 50 yrs

Divine Providence will only be able to sort this out

Our political and economic and media problems are metaphysical .
Nothing new under the sun. Our descent sadly continues.

Commie propaganda & brainwashing destroying the West & the white man. Never forget Jesus & Marx were Jews. Jews will ruin the race/nation.

Why do you think democracy shouldn’t be protected? Further, there was no cheating in the elections. Bolsonaro lost and behaved as a bad loser.

What do you mean?

Hmmm.

I see it more as the socialist neo-Marxist leftists weaponizing the courts to destroy the populist leader.

No different than the SWAMP v Trump throw down.

The current leftist reptiles cheated in the last election to depose Bolsonaro, now they use the courts to destroy/imprison him.

Sound familiar?

What is this fucking bullshit?

The damage to scientific integrity at this point has been enormous.

By now, most of the damage should have done to the excitable types promoting all the wild theories about the virus’s origin.

After all, for several years, Peter Daszak and the Eco Health Alliance had been warning about the possibility of a pandemic from bat-borne viruses jumping to humans, either directly or via an intermediate host or hosts.

They had been noting low-level infections in villagers who were living, working or hanging out in caves where bats are known to roost.

Below, the Copilot AI’s description and summary of Daszak’s work:

SOME science, you CAN’T depoliticize.

Global warming, for example.

Bravo Caspar Veldkamp!

Bravo Caspar Veldkamp. His and his party’s resignation from the genocide-complicit Dutch government ushers in an additional category of resistance to Israel’s genocide in Palestine. This breach of the West’s complicity tops Spain’s, Norway’s and Ireland’s recognition of the State of Palestine, and most recently, France’s announcement to do so in September. The world is piling on against Israel.

Israel is already down for the count in the ICJ and ICC, where the only defense Israel and its vassal U.S. have is threats, obstruction of justice, and sanction of judges. Even the protection of its vassal’s illegal UN veto is susceptible to a work-around under a General Assembly Uniting for Peace resolution, now under serious discussion. The Zionist cause could not be more blackened than by Israel’s own commission of genocide and war crimes.

The world is piling on not just legally but in popular action. People in genocide-complicit states are increasingly taking collective action themselves against Israel’s genocide. Dock workers in France, Greece, Spain and Italy are refusing to load arms shipments to Israel. Genoa’s dockworkers have collected aid for the new Global Sumud Flotilla bound for Gaza and vowed to take further action if the flotilla is interfered with.

Most humorously, Israeli soldiers are finding R & R in foreign counties a bit of a challenge now that local prosecutors open war-crimes investigations of them, like the case in Brazil which caused IDFers to hightail it out of Brazil. And it’s going to get worse for them as advocacy groups are hoovering up electronic evidence of war crimes the dumb shits posted themselves, and assembling Palantir-type data bases making local identification and prosecution quick and easy. There used to be Nazi hunters. Now there are IDF hunters.

All righteous Jews see clearly the crimes of the Zionists and condemn Israel for it, for example: Max Blumenthal (“Fuck Israel”), Norman Finkelstein (“Israelis are moral freaks”), Ilan Pappe (“This is the beginning of the end of Zionism”), Miko Peled (“Zionist settlers are terrorists”), and so on.

And that’s just a small sample of the peaceful resistance, the resistance turning Zionist into a dirty word. Caspar Veldkamp is to be commended for his part in revealing Israel as a rogue state in need of punishment.

just a rat leaving the sinking ship, trying to save his own ass, virtue signaling, so he can claim to have jumped to the right side of history, after having served as a loyal shabbos goy. don’t get me wrong, it’s good that the rat infested ship of state, of their voyage of the damned, is sinking. expect more of such vermin to do the same, as israel’s war crimes and attempted genocide, starve, murder, rape, pillage and dispossess, these long suffering people.

later they will tell their grandchildren, how they were once hamas freedom fighters, the way vichy french, told their grandchildren they were once members of the resistance. i think micheal caine had the dutch sized up correctly.

I wonder if these Dutch bleeding-hearts have been taken in by the Hamas/UN “famine” propaganda? Our PT Barnum a century ago succinctly stated that “There is a sucker born ever minute” and the Dutch appear to fit this description. Here’s a reference for you to review:

The Famine That Wasn’t: How the UN, Media and Hamas Waged a War of Disinformation
by Pesach Wolicki
August 29, 2025 at 5:00 am

• Behind this narrative lies a calculated strategy: the weaponization of humanitarian suffering, orchestrated by Hamas — the entity that controls Gaza and its distribution of aid — and amplified by willing accomplices in the United Nations system and global media. The goal is not to report the truth but to smear Israel, rally international condemnation, and shield Hamas from accountability.

• In May 2024, Israeli government data directly contradicted the IPC’s claims. In June and July 2024, media reports continued to cite a “high risk of famine,” but none could point to actual data proving that famine had occurred. The famine never arrived, but the headlines kept coming.

• In late June 2024, the IPC issued a report titled, “Famine Review Committee: Gaza Strip, June 2024 – IPC’s third review report.” It showed that the previous famine predictions were not plausible, contradicted all available data, and were based on incorrect assumptions…. [T]he findings of the “Famine Review Committee” were barely covered by the media outside of Israel.

• Regardless of the consistent failure of the dire warnings of famine to come to fruition, the repetition of statements and headlines throughout 2024 set the narrative in the minds of the world: Famine in Gaza. Tellingly, the warnings were always couched in language that allowed for plausible deniability. There was always a “risk” of an “imminent” or “looming” famine — a famine that just never arrived.

• According to the World Food Programme, sustaining Gaza’s estimated population of 2.1 million people requires approximately 62,000 metric tons of food per month.

• From March through December 2024, 788,216 tons of food aid entered Gaza — an average of 78,821 tons per month, more than 25% above the WFP’s stated threshold.

• Famously, on May 20, 2025, Tom Fletcher, head of the UN’s Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, told BBC Radio that “there are 14,000 babies that will die in the next 48 hours unless we can reach them.” While this claim was walked back by the UN, the narrative damage was done.

“There is a deeper hypocrisy here. The Netherlands hosts the International Criminal Court in The Hague. This is where global justice is supposed to be enforced. It is also the city where 150,000 Dutch citizens marched in June — the largest protest in two decades — demanding sanctions and accountability.”

You can’t enforce anything w/o an army. The ICJ/ICC is powerless. As is the UN.

Have you noticed that the US has canceled all the visas for the Palestinian delegation to the UN? Now none of them will be present when France, Britain and Canada declare a Palestinian state in Sept, assuming they follow through and Trump doesn’t threaten them with 1000% tariffs for being dicks.

The first thing we do, let’s kill all the bleeding-heart Sociologists. If there is anyone on the wrong side of history, it is you wimps.

Who cares what happens in the tiny Netherlands? I say to this guy and his party – Buh-bye…

… His government refused to act. So, he left.

Good for him, I say.

Thanks.

I’ve been going through the convoluted Commissioner selection process (AI is a big help here), and it seems you are right:

The key are the European Directorates-General, in particular their Permanent Staff. It’s open that they shape policy, yet they’re not political appointees. They’re nominally treated as merit-selected experts, with strong job security.

There are 22k-25k of those Permanent Staff bureaucrats, with a low 2-4% annual turnover rate.

Whoever got in there has been shaping policy for decades.

Too many lies from scientists regarding the virus. Too many backroom deals.

The damage to scientific integrity at this point has been enormous.

The system is collapsing due to lies. When you have lawyers in charge of your medical establishment you know how bad things have become.

“decades of being taken under the wing of bigger nations as dependencies and vassals ”

Nazi or soviet occupation is not the same as being a vassal. Still I agree with the general sentiment that our part of the world has been destroyed by external forces more than once, while the creative people either had to flee or die.

But Poland obviously has options left and the current Polish leadership is part of the European force that is actively trying to push the US out of EU. So I agree that this will happen, sooner or later. With Trump at the steering wheel, probably sooner.

What interests me is what happens after that. The brain drain to the US stopped in 2004, was cut off almost instantly. Now the real question is if the drain to Germany and France can be stopped. But the claims of civil war? Nah. If there is any war, it’ll be another one of the neocon-instigated wars. Still I am rather doubtful it’ll go in this direction.

But I do find it interesting that you sort of seem to be hoping for the war scenario. Like the only way to get your house look better is by burning the house of your neighbors. Very interesting. And desperate.

Islam will fix everything for them, just like it has done everywhere else it has spread, assaholealickum.

This is exactly the point which I do not believe (and not just me) – the world has changed technologically. Today, being truly independent requires significant resources and investments that exceed capabilities of smaller countries.

After decades of being taken under the wing of bigger nations as dependencies and vassals, the sentiment above is understandable, but you’ll have no options after America is done with you guys over there.

“then you’ll be on your own as sovereign nations.”

This is exactly the point which I do not believe (and not just me) – the world has changed technologically. Today, being truly independent requires significant resources and investments that exceed capabilities of smaller countries. And true – Poland today qualifies as a small country. Every other country in Central Europe is either smaller or much smaller. Individually, none of them can be independent anymore, unless we are talking about Afghani-type independence. But I have a strange feeling that very few people in CE are interested in that kind of lifestyle.

So the solution is some sort of a union. And the alternative to this is being a vassal of a failing Empire – because that’s exactly what you mean when you say “sovereign nations”. So here’s where the popularity of the EU concept comes from.

Personally I’d prefer complete independence. But being a realist, what I prefer is irrelevant.

And no, there won’t be a civil war in Europe after the US withdraws. If there’ll be a war, it’ll be one instigated and started by neocons. Just like in Ukraine.

People can only vote for the candidates who stand.

It’s up to you guys, to remain American vassals as member of the EU and NATO after being Russian vassals as members of the Warsaw Pact, I can’t care less, I’m just an observer watching what you do.

So summarizing, no need to worry about a euro super-state, you will remain American vassals until America cann’t or won’t care about you any more and then you’ll be on your own as sovereign nations.

“Vassals that are released, disband, and often they go into civil war to split even more, as has been observed many times.”

I see. So when you wrote “Maybe Eastern euro countries will understand that they need to stand on their own, as true independent nations, under nationalist govts.” you didn’t really mean what you wrote, but instead what you really meant was to keep these countries as US vassals? Is that your definition of “true independent nations”, as opposed to the true notion of “independent nations”? 🙂

No wonder you like those British essays – you’re no different: your entire idea about greatness of your own country is through control over others. Another contrast, I guess.

But I am getting a little intrigued about that push to keep Europe completely fragmented.

It’s just how things work. Vassals that are released, disband, and often they go into civil war to split even more, as has been observed many times.

I have a very different opinion on these essays than you do. When I see something like this, describing Europe:

the cities are already ruins

Have you seen these cities he writes about? Because I have.

I wonder – is this guy just plain stupid or is he playing some kind of a game. Since I don’t think he is stupid, obviously what he writes has little to do with reality and much to do with some underlying goals, which he is not very forthcoming about, but which I think I correctly identified before.

These articles shouldn’t be taken seriously.

“Maybe Eastern euro countries will understand that they need to stand on their own”

Chinese-American virus pandemic demonstrated that Central European countries actually stood on their own quite well. No food shortages, no mass lockdowns, and without forced vaccinations. Yes, the oldest generation took a big hit (although from what I saw this happened everywhere), but these were people who in most cases survived WW2 and the whole communism, with obvious consequences to their health.

But I am getting a little intrigued about that push to keep Europe completely fragmented.
