The Russians are disappointed with Trump’s policy towards Russia. They have long given up hoping to partner with the US in building a just world order, and they are now giving up the hope that they might be treated fairly. The last person in Russia (if not in the world) still hoping to get along with Mr Trump is President Putin.
One can understand him. There is a great need for geopolitical and geo-economic cooperation between the US and Russia, both in resolving the Ukrainian crisis (taking into account Russia’s interests) and in interacting throughout the Arctic, Caribbean, Africa and all the other global ‘hot spots’. That would be international cooperation, not American Hegemony, as many US politicians prefer. The US should step away from the abyss of nuclear war, while this is still possible. Last week, the Russians carried out nuclear exercises, of a magnitude never done previously. The exercises involved Russia’s full nuclear triad—land-based, sea-based, and airborne assets, according to the statement reported by Russia’s state RIA news agency on Telegram. During the exercise, a Yars intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was launched from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome and Tu-95MS strategic bombers conducted air-launched cruise missile strikes, the Kremlin said. A strategic submarine cruiser launched a ballistic missile from the Barents Sea. And then there was the launch of Burevestnik, a brand-new cruise missile with nuclear reactor onboard, that can fly anywhere for as long as it takes. The Pentagon has revealed that they are worried about these new developments, and have asked the Russians to show them how they make their new devices, the Burevestnik and Poseidon. It is good that President Putin prefers peace, not war.
However, President Putin is not a free agent. There is a strong demand in Russian politics for a nuclear response to Western provocations, not stopping at the Western border of the Ukraine, but going all the way west. For the present, Putin prevails, but it’s likely to change if the US continues its drift toward war and sanctions. And the US invasion of Venezuela is likely to be met with force. The Russian soldiers of Wagner PDC are supposedly already there.
Such sentiments were recently expressed by Sergey Karaganov (a prominent political scientist and honorary representative of The Council on Foreign and Defence Policy) on TVC television, quoted by a PolitNavigator correspondent:
“Europeans – we are dealing with insane morons, excuse me, these are unpleasant words. Well, brutalised morons. They really are morons – the current generation of degenerate European elites, who have also ceased to fear God… and have lost their fear of death.
This is an animal instinct that needs to be restored; they have nothing else left, because they have no intellectual function, no sense of homeland, no sense of gender or love. Of course, I am exaggerating; there are wonderful people there. But that’s how it is [those who are in the governing circle] — they are the scum of humanity.
There is no leader there yet, figuratively speaking, no ‘Hitler’. But, in principle, they are moving towards this. And they are driving their peoples to slaughter. We must stop this movement – in order to save ourselves and these peoples, by the way. Maybe something will come of them someday, although they are degrading very quickly.
They are now being targeted for a massive confrontation with Russia. By the way, we underestimate this, because total propaganda is turning masses of Europeans into potential cannon fodder.
So, we must save them, and at the same time save the world. This is our historical task, but we must realise this historical task. Moreover, we have no other option. Either we destroy ourselves, then destroy the world, or we win and save humanity.
The program’s host Dmitry Kulikov noted that historically, ‘we act best when we understand that we have no other option.’ This feeling permeates Russian political circles. They more and more often repeat Putin’s words from 2018: We shall go to heaven, and they will just croak.
This is indeed regretful, for Putin and Trump have in common real enemies, namely the leaders of Britain, France, Germany, the European Union and the ultra-liberal stateless intelligentsia. Can it be that a grown man, a US President, falls for flattery of the cheapest kind delivered by the likes of Keith Starmer, Macron, Friedrich Merz et al? Doesn’t he understand that they despise him? What do they want? Do Fritz (German Chancellor Friedrich Merz) and Ursula have good memories of the free Russian soup the Germans were fed by the Russian soldiers in 1945, and perhaps they dream of tasting it again? Does Starmer hope to distract his voters so that they might forget his support for Gaza Genocide and Israeli football hooligans? Does Macron think it better to send Frenchmen to die in the Ukraine so they won’t join the Yellow Vests? Does Swedish Ulf Kristersson think that it’s better to keep up the venerable tradition of hosting the Russian occupation force at least once in a century? Which of these plans fit into Trump’s vision?
We may ask – why would President Trump lift a finger to help Vladimir Zelensky, the man who supported the Democratic Party candidate during the US presidential election and played a role in launching the impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump?
In case Trump forgot, the Russian envoy Dmitriev reminded the American public (in his interview with journalist Lara Logan) that Zelensky campaigned in support of Kamala Harris, who represented the Democratic Party in the 2024 election and was Trump’s main rival. ‘Let’s not forget that,’ he added. Dmitriev then noted that Zelensky was one of the factors that influenced the initiation of the first impeachment process against the then US president.
The investigation that preceded the impeachment of US President Donald Trump began on 24 September 2019 at the initiative of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The impeachment was sparked by a statement by an anonymous informant (probably Zelensky himself) who claimed that in July 2019, Trump pressured Vladimir Zelensky for personal political gain. According to the anonymous report, Trump demanded that Kiev investigate the activities of Hunter Biden, the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, in exchange for providing Ukraine with financial and military aid.
After these allegations surfaced, the White House was forced to publish a memorandum containing a transcript of the telephone conversation between Trump and Zelensky. The document showed that Trump did indeed ask the Ukrainian president to ‘look into’ the matter concerning the Biden family. At the same time, a week before the aforementioned conversation, Trump had ordered the suspension of military aid to Ukraine. Representatives of the Democratic Party viewed this decision as a possible attempt to put pressure on Kiev in order to achieve an investigation that would be beneficial to Trump. The president himself was forced to publicly deny these allegations.
On 31 October 2019, the US House of Representatives approved a resolution to formally begin impeachment proceedings. On the 18th of December, the final debates took place, during which two articles of impeachment against Trump were put to a vote: abuse of power and obstruction of a congressional investigation. Both articles were approved, resulting in the president’s impeachment, making him the third head of state in US history to be subject to such a decision by the House of Representatives.
On 15 January 2020, a vote was held to send the indictment to the Senate, where the articles of impeachment were sent the following day. After reviewing the case, on 5 February 2020, the Senate acquitted Donald Trump on both counts. And now Trump wants to help the man who saddled him with that mess?
Not only that, but Trump’s policy of arming Europe and providing military aid to Ukraine is against US interests. Forcing Europe’s NATO members to increase defence spending by two per cent and then by five per cent will, in the near future, turn the EU into a military monster comparable to the Third Reich. A militarily strong EU would immediately break its economic dependence on the United States, both in terms of oil and gas and technology. And then it would begin to impose its own agenda on other countries, including America itself. Trump’s course towards the militarisation of Europe is suicidal for the future of the United States; it is feeding the crocodile that the countries of the anti-Hitler coalition seemed to have destroyed forever in 1945.
One might understand Trump’s decisions if building up a Ukrainian statelet were a winning move for the West. But it is not. It’s like feeding money to a slot machine in one of the casinos belonging to Trump’s benefactor, Sheldon Adelson. You give it money, and it gives you jolly music, noise, colourful figures move across the screen; then – nothing. Drop more money, you surely will win the next round, says the croupier. A wise man would not throw good money after bad, but a gambler would, down to his last penny. NATO’s Ukrainian morass is like a Kyiv Casino – they tell you that you are about to win big, you just have to invest another hundred billion! Billions have gone down this drain with nothing to show for it except more Miami palaces for Mr Zelensky and his friends.
The Trump’s renovation of the east wing of the White House is not just a random project – the so-called ‘Trump Ballroom’ is just a cover story for the construction of a secret bomb shelter and presidential bunker. But how long would he be able to sit there under a rain of Oreshnik and other fabulous Russian missiles? They will reach the deepest bunker and burn it out.
No, the only salvation for America is an honest alliance with Russia and the transformation of the Ukraine from Europe’s military springboard into a ‘bridge of cooperation’ between the West and the East. Thank God it is still possible.
NATO expansion has never benefited Europe. It was always a way to keep US troops on the job throughout the Cold War. NATO was deliberately expanded to keep up pressure on Russia. It always put Europe at risk, and there was never any corresponding benefit for the average European. Now, with the US about to drastically reduce its troops in Europe, the nations of Europe are on the brink of running NATO by themselves. Does Europe really want to recreate the Cold War and become a testing ground for Russia’s new cruise missiles? Are they really ready to face such an implacable enemy on their doorstep? Does Europe really want to make an enemy of a European country sitting on most of Europe’s natural resources, including its natural gas, oil, coal, palladium, aluminium and iron ore? How could this enmity benefit the average European family?
And President Trump will be remembered for Gaza Genocide that was not stopped by his 3000 years peace (lasted just two days!), for submission to the European clowns and to Bibi Netanyahu; now for leading the US into final Armageddon.

My wife (who is Russian) and I talk about this all the time. I find it fascinating that the Jewish feminism of the Soviet Union, gave women equality but not at the expense of their femininity. Yet the brand introduced in the west has completely eliminated femininity in women and transferred that trait to males. One of the major differences between us is Russian men are still required to act like adults (because women do not neglect their actual jobs at home though they work) and that is something our geriatric teenage rulers cannot understand, because they lack the maturity to do so. I know both Mr. Putin and Mr. Lavrov find this maddening, because you simply cannot negotiate with demented adolescent children.
Only problem is Russia is governed by a cabal of Jewish central bankers/oligarchs/rabbis just like NATOUkraine. Thus we see all this is simply some Orwellian coordinated sham conflict, where like in Orwell’s ‘1984’, the three superpowers pretend they’re ‘enemies’, but are actually in on the conspiracy together to terrorize & liquidate their populations. In the book it was done for ‘psycho-economic’ motives, but in this world its being done for psycho-racial purposes.
‘At Putin’s Side, An Army of Jewish Billionaires’
https://www.islam-radio.net/islam//english/jewishp/russia/putin-jewish-billionaires.htm
A wise, brief overview from an American.
Video Link
The (((USA))) enforced Affirmative Action (AA) and Equalization of Economic Opportunity (EEO) before and during the rise of insane feminism. These steps effectively reduced the IQ of US leaders by at least 25 points, after which it became easy to slide all manner of insanity into the institutions of the country. The overall process was obviously complicated, but the pivotal idea of AA broke the system as it was presumably intended to do. The wonderful though incomplete American notion of fairness made this attack possible.
+++
The Soviet and Western attacks on Christianity were different. I would like to learn more about this.
Mr. Shamir may be giving Trump too much credit as some of us are wont to do. I doubt Putin or even Dmitriev expected much from Alaska, but there seemed to be little harm in going through the motions. I suspect Trump and the USA are buying time to escalate Palantir/Anduril drone warfare to the next level, so the Russians may be mistaken.
+++
The Ukraine puzzle includes the following pieces which may be important and should be kept in mind. Shamir has probably pointed these out and an update with a few added pieces fitted in might be helpful
– Zelensky is a made man apparently created by powerful Ukrainian criminal oligarch Kolomoisky who also happened to build the largest Jewish cultural center in Europe in Dnipro. Reportedly he is now in prison, but who knows?
– Donald Trump’s favorite very high profile daughter converted to Judaism (Chabad) before marrying Jared Kushner who is a committed Lubavitcher. Kushner very visibly helped run Team Trump 1 and his father is a convicted criminal creep, now turned ambassador for Trump.
– A reference online implied that tens of thousands of Lubavitcher Jews live within a couple of miles of Bankova Street. Some of these people probably exert powerful influence on Ukrainian politics, though maybe not as much as the (((ones))) who have temporarily decamped to Monaco, Biarritz or Haifa.
The mentioned Jewish billionaires are all gone from Russia. They do not rule anything.
it’s actually much deeper than that israel, i broke this story three days ago:
The jewish and zionist Bisexual Butcher Zelensky opposed Trump because he correctly thought the Dems would be more malleable and conformist to the will of an AntiChrist, bisexual zionist butcher like himself.
But in the end, does it matter? Because Trump is conformist to AntiChrist zionism, as well. And so he hasn’t shifted toward Russia in the least, just like he continues to provide Israel a blank check.
That quote by Sergey Karaganov is classic, post “Jewish Century”, politically correct, pseudo-“Christian”, kike comic book double talk: “we must save them, and at the same time save the world. This is our historical task, but we must realise this historical task. Moreover, we have no other option. Either we destroy ourselves, then destroy the world, or we win and save humanity.”
I’ve got news for you, Karaganov: There are kikes, there are wogs, and then there are Christians. The kikes are toying with the wogs, and they are toying with you. That means you’re not a Christian, but either a fellow kike, or a wog.
The authentic Christians of Christendom wouldn’t give the kikes (or the wogs) even two seconds to spout their jive talk, and they weren’t interested in “saving the world” but rather, saving Christendom.
The kikes and wogs of the world can go to hell, and eventually will.
The timeline where the “Great Negotiator” pushes the US into nuclear war is not the one I expected. I frankly thought it would be a woman president that did it, like Hillary or Kamala. We are seeing International Jewry catching the blame, which I did expect. They are always the designated fall guys, and they certainly play their role with vigor. They have never appeared more repulsive. I wonder when ordinary Jews are going to catch on to the act. After all, it is the little Jews who pay for the actions of the big Jews. The final solution, of course, is in the Sacrament of Baptism. But tribes gotta tribe, and if you’re going to pick a tribe, you try to pick a winning team. And that depends on your daily diet of propaganda. It’s the same with the libs and the gays and the furries. They are trying to pick a winning tribe based on today’s media stock market of psyops. If you believe the media, you are being led by the nose, guaranteed. Most people just stick to the stories they like, a sort of media echo chamber. Lefties listen to PBS, righties listen to MAGA. More tribes, and each led by monsters taken directly out of central casting. They too will be replaced by AI. Someday all the tribes will be managed by one Bill Gates type nerd in a locked vault and the entire population of the earth will simply go on with their tribal politics like they’re still in High School. We will be manipulated like this until we die.
Such is life. This is not a Black Pill because it’s all fake. No one gets killed in these psyops. There probably was a time where armies did actually clash, as in the Iliad, but as in the Iliad the slaughter was no doubt exaggerated or entirely fabricated based upon some cutting remark that Hector made. Now we are expected to fear a nuclear exchange based on WW2 photographic montages and video of pre-Godzilla models being destroyed. Also, some contemporary stories about radiation leaks, etc. Nobody really fears it anymore, which means they will have to either step up the nuke psyop or replace it with fake pandemics. I believe the military is retooling to field Andromeda Strain teams, but who knows. The claims of advanced weaponry have become untenable and the only other alternative they have left is the UFO Attack scenario. So I’m White-Pilled about Logos Rising, but I’m Black-Pilled about the quality of the psyops they are going to deliver. The quality of writing out of Langley and Tavistock is weak and getting weaker. I guess it was always bad, but that was when we believed Cronkite. In the face of the Internet they have to step up their game or they will lose the ‘Information War’. And they couldn’t even pull off a fake assassination. Apparently the military is not familiar with the 30-o6. I’m hoping AI will improve things. The imagery should get much better, but again in the Kirk psyop they used a dummy and rubber hands. When will they finally give up on their silly props?
Christians are a type of kike and Christianity is a criminal religion, but nice try Jew. Your religion hates and destroys all things European because it is a Jewish religion. You worship a magic Jew who rose from the dead and flew off into the heavens. Your Bible, like the Talmud, teaches Jewish racial superiority. Go to the Middle East where you belong with your desert people, your criminal religion and beliefs have no place in any Western country.

As Paul Craig Roberts has pointed out several times, what was enforced as “Affirmative Action” – race quotas – was not in the legislation that specifically prohibited it.
Real affirmative action requires employers to look internally at barriers employees face for promotion, which are often education and/or training and help all of those affected overcome the barriers. It was not about race or lowering standards, although the race of those affected may have been disproportionate.
And all this time I thought Trump just wanted to hold bigger (((balls))).
I never said they still lived in Russia, just that these are a few of the Jewish oligarchs involved with Putin. These Jews can live anywhere in the world & control their various frontmen (Putin/Trump/Zelensky/Xi etc) There are numerous other ones surrounding/controlling Putin too, not mentioned in that article : e.g. Yuri Kovalchuk (Putin’s ‘personal banker’), Gennady Timchenko, Arkady & Boris Rotenberg, Igor Sechin, Oleg Deripaska. I’m sure there’s many more.
Of course not. Trump easily sees through Globalists like Merz and Macron.
The #1 obstacle Trump faces is here at home. He needs the Senate to confirm appointments or MAGA forward progress grinds to a halt across all priorities.
Those with little understanding of America will point at the fact there are 53 GOP Senators and think Trump is in the clear. That is not the case. The U.S. does not have a slate based system where those not backing the caucus can be readily dumped. Instead each of those Senators ran their own statewide races collecting hundreds of thousands, some over a million, votes in their own name.
Key obstacles where Trump has no leverage:
• Mitch McConnell, retiring
• Thom Tillis, returning
• John Cornyn, facing a GOP primary
None of these three are inclined to help. That leaves Trump dependent on figures such as Lindsey Graham and John Thune. If he cuts them off at the knees on foreign policy, he loses domestic MAGA priorities.
This leaves Trump spinning them loads of PR for their base constituency and as little of substance as possible. Fortunately, Putin is not the type to over react to mean tweets and other social media.
On the main point — How much new money has been appropriated for Kiev aggression?
— The BBB contained ZERO
— The 2026 budget, also ZERO
Trump has stuck the European troika (Germany, France, UK) with 99% of the bill. If they want to keep their puppet Führer Zelensky in the field, they have to spend the money. How long can they afford to do so? France’s regime looks rather shaky.
_________
The Tomahawks discussion was mollification of those Senators and distraction for the American Lügenpresse. There was no chance of it actually happening.
• There was no European money to buy them
• No supply to purchase
• And, no launch system for Kiev to use
The bad news is that (for now) Trump has to continue “strategic ambiguity” to keep recalcitrant Senators on board. The good news is that the midterms should provide a much friendlier Senate composition.
PEACE 😇
Judea officially declared a boycott and war on Germania in 1933 and a hot war in 1939, a war by proxy forced upon Germany by a coalition of jewish controlled states.
Present day there is in Europe another coalition of jewish controlled states, which includes the USA, intent on destroying Russia.
Neither the USSR, not Russia have acknowledged that its mortal enemy, acting under stealth and by proxy has been world’s jewry, because in both, USSR and in Russian there was and is an entrenched fifth column of jewish cabal of conspirators, acting under stealth.
Were you offended by my denunciation of the jewish bisexual butcher Zelensky? By my denunciation of the Zionist Trump? By my denunciation of the fake “Christian” Russian who wants to “save the world” but not his own Christian people? Or by my defense of Christ and Christendom, who is cursed in your jewish Talmud?
Which is it, kike?
Poor man, you are totally insane
Anyone who believed that the USA would ever build “a just world order” is terminally retarded and should consider submitting themselves for medically assisted euthanasia. Even more so if they believed that Zognald Trump would be the man to build it.
Anon is not as insane as the retard who wrote this:
How are the American puppet leaders in Europe enemies of Donald Trump, the leader of the American empire? All of these people serve Trump. They literally call him “daddy” and line up to lick his boots. They sacrifice Europe’s interests to benefit American oligarchs.
Your model of the world is flawed, and until you update it to reflect the reality that the USA is the sovereign power over Europe, you will continue being wrong about everything, as you have been for the last year.
When you are consistently wrong about everything, it should prompt you to ask “why?” and then correct your thinking. I will give you some tips to get started in correcting your understanding of the world, so that you can stop being wrong all of the time: Donald Trump is on the side of Europe because the USA owns Europe. There was never any “divide” there. What you call the “ultra-liberal stateless intelligentsia” is not a real thing. It does not exist. There is only the American empire, the Jews who own the American empire, the colonies and slaves who submit to the American empire, and everything that is downstream from that.
ROTFL — The most deranged person came up with this.
Globalist European leaders have been foes of Populist Trump since his 1st term. Do you remember how well he got along with CDU/CSU Angela “Welcome Rape-ugees” Merkel? Let me refresh your memory. Macron was standing next to Merkel.
CDU/CSU Merz is a Globalist just like Merkel and equally disliked. Renaissance Macron & Labour Starmer fall within the same Globalist cadre. They all oppose MAGA Populism.
Which European parties have Trump’s Administration embraced:
• Reform UK
• RN in France
• AfD in Germany
These are all Populist organizations in opposition to current regimes.
If you want to find current European leaders more aligned with MAGA, you can do so. Some examples include Orbán, Fico, Babiš, and Nawrocki. These figures do not serve Trump, but they would be much more likely to cooperate with Populist initiatives.
PEACE 😇
The only conflict that ever existed between Trump and the European puppet leaders was that Trump wanted them to behave like the puppets they were. He didn’t like having to show up to these meetings and pretend that America’s slaves like Macron were his fellow “leaders of the free world.” Now that the European puppets openly display their subjugation and show the proper deference to their master, there is no longer any conflict.
Your comment has it all. White Pills/Black Pills, Bill Gates, Godzilla, MAGA, a dummy with rubber hands, a UFO Attack, gays and furries, AI, the Trojan War and even Walter Cronkite. Great stuff keep up the good work.
Asusual, you are either an idiot or a shill or both.
They are obviously in conflict:
• Trump wants to end support for Führer Zelensky.
• Merz, Macron, and Starmer are continuing to fund Kiev aggression.
The Europeans had a good thing going (for them) when their puppet the Veggie-in-Chief was in the White House. They got their Globalist fight and commanded America to foot the bill.
Now that the U.S. has escaped European control — Germany, France, and the UK have to pickup the expense for Europe’s Folly. How long can they continue to pay 3-5 billion €uros per month to Führer Zelensky?
Macron’s regime could collapse at any moment. Merz and Starmer are deeply unpopular in their own countries. Starmer is below 50% approval within his own Labour party.
PEACE 😇
The Hebrews tribalists don’t really need politics when the underlying conditions–which they control and have controlled for centuries–support their worldly aggression against genuine nations and physically eliminate them slowly and silently but very surely. The mechanism is quite surprising and it works:

This article is drivel. Can Shamir and the Russians really be so stupid as to not understand why Europe the US neocons are pressing for a confrontation with Russia, and why they have forgotten the MAD doctrine? They interpret is as inexplicable insanity?
It is the opposite of insanity without context, a war between east and west, Gog and Magog, in which they destroy each other has been the explicitly stated goal of the Jews for the last 300 years, since the time of Abravanel.
How do I know this? Because it is not a secret, the Jews openly announce it, this video contains 20 rabbis saying exactly that …
Video Link
Hitler made the same mistake the Russians are making. He thought he could invade Poland and nothing would come of it, he didn’t understand that the Jews were looking for a reason to start WW II and the result was that Germany was destroyed.
This kind of “demand” for nuclear scaremongering doesn’t work anymore because it has already been invoked far too often, beginning on the fourth day of the war in late February 2022, when it became clear that the planned military coup in Kiev had failed. Aside from that, what is referred to as “provocations” is merely a legitimate effort to fight back with improved missiles to defend from Putin’s war crimes against the Ukrainian civilian population and its civilian infrastructure. The author ought to disclose how many Bitcoin fractions he receives for spreading this kind of propaganda.
Why is the US about to attack Venezuela?
It’s so simple.
1. Jews control the US.
2. Venezuela sympathizes with the Palestinians and has good relations with Iran.
There you go.

Trump is false opposition; he is one of them. He talked of bringing in another “Gilded Age” and so he is. This was seen from day one at his inauguration, when he decided to have it indoors, with that big photo op he had with all of his billionaire buddies, while the stupid MAGA goy were left literally in the cold. What did he say to a group of MAGA folks? He didn’t need their support, just their votes. They have been played and so have we! A corrupt system can only bring in corrupt leaders, and with his track record, Mr. Trump certainly qualifies as being corrupt. Only those guilty of self-deception think he is actually fighting for them. Like Dean Wurmer said, “Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to get through life son!” This rings true with just about the entirety of American Society. We get what we deserve for our stupidity and cowardice. The Founding Generation wasn’t getting nearly as screwed over under British Colonial rule, like we are by our own elected government today. Yet they decided to revolt. We just vote like lemmings, thinking voting in rigged elections is going to change things for the better.
Western ‘feminism’ urges women to ape men, not be women. As men in the West are a long debased type, greedy, cowardly, arrogant and dumb, the feminist ‘she-males’ are a sort of hideous chimera, with all male faults and no remaining female virtues.
It mirrors the ‘transgender’ insanity, and the two are connected. True feminism allows women to be fully human, and INESCAPABLY female. Hundreds of millions of years of sexual dimorphism, differentiation and evolution cannot simply be discarded like an old snake skin.
The conflict with Russia has not changed and will not change one iota because the conflict’s Jewish origin is the driver of it…
http://biblicisminstitute.wordpress.com/2015/03/17/the-truth-about-the-conflict-with-russia/
…and Trump won’t challenge his masters.

I do not understand why Russia is not behaving towards the U.S. the way China is. Sadly, Russia is prostituting itself to gain attention from the U.S. The groveling to Trump is shameful, like a dog groveling. After criminally betraying and destroying Syria for the Jews, Putin recently welcomed the ISIS/al-Qaeda leader with a red carpet in the Kremlin. From allegedly “fighting terrorists” to welcoming them. It is also difficult to understand Russia’s efforts to ban any pro-Palestinian protest in Russia and its criminal efforts to deny a livestreamed genocide perpetrated by Jews in Palestine, calling it a “war on building.” While publicly (fakely) condemning Israel, Putin never stops having weekly telephone conversations with war criminal Netanyahu.
Is it difficult to understand why almost all of Russia’s neighbours want nothing to do with Russia? They despise Russia more than anything else. Countries like Hungary, Slovakia, and Serbia are only interested in Russia for its almost free oil. They do not care about Russia. The invasion of Ukraine did not make Russia more secure. In reality, it increased Russia’s enemies. Russia’s behaviour and its diplomatic offensive around the world are insincere, forced upon Russia by the Ukraine war. It is a ploy to deceive other countries.
The only person who should read this is Donald Trump and he can’t read well. None of modern geopolitics makes much sense from either the Russian or American perspective. Except if you are Zionist Israel looking at these minions rage against each other, calculating whether escalating the conflict to nuclear Armageddon would be in Israel’s interests, given its distance, the amount of radioactive fallout, their bunker capacity, etc.
Of all the things the spectrum of so called “schizophrenia” is, it is fascinating. Not dismissing what you wrote too much. I’m not sure what wavelength you are on, but I am not dismissing it entirely. Above all, you have a wonderful way of painting this sliver of reality:
“It’s the same with the libs and the gays and the furries. They are trying to pick a winning tribe based on today’s media stock market of psyops.”
Meet description of the almost accidental weaponization of subculture!
I’d recommend looking into the UFO/UAP related things. There is quite a lot there, not just correlations; some of it ties into the enhanced technology/weaponry, too. The aliens are, in my view, almost certainly demons. Chapter 6 of Seraphim Rose’s book “Orthodoxy and the Future” deals with the UFO/UAP phenomenon.
Russia has the highest abortion rates in the world per capita, the most abortions in this century(25M) and Russia’s birthrate just hit it’s lowest in 200 years. That’s some “femininity” that Russian women have.
Wrong – Russia has the second highest rate of jewish billionaires globally(excluding Israel) and 60% of Russian billionaires are jewish.
The midterms will depend 100% on the economy not going to hell – which it looks like it might based on the layoffs being announced.
Israel is a well-known laundromat for corrupt and criminal money. Somewhere it was mentioned that they charge 20% for this.
There is no evidence for this, at all.
They are doing this under orders from the Trump administration. Pete Hegseth went to Europe and told these people that they needed to start paying more for the war, all the way back in February, right after Trump was installed as POTUS. Trump himself brags all the time about forcing Europe to pay more into NATO.
The only actually existing “globalism” is American imperialism. Trump is a wholehearted supporter of this actually existing globalism.
A popular model among Russians is what the USA is. Imagine a huge, dim-witted bully with a small and very cunning dwarf sitting on his shoulders and controlling this bully.
For example, when the CIA was created, it was done with the great participation of the British, among whom was Kim Philby. Do you really think he was just a Soviet agent? His group of supporters included close relatives of the British Queen. To reduce all this to just an agent’s activity is the height of stupidity. The British were playing their own game, which went far beyond the mental abilities of the village bully.
Don’t over think it. He was besties with Epstein for decades. Mossad has plenty of videos. He is blackmailed.

Moscow and all the Awake people know who is driving the Wars, the twisted forced immigration, Nazi talk, the Terrorist financial extortions and Sanctions, but if they refuse to act on those Cartels like they are doing against the Ukrainian armies, there will never be an end to the Corrupt Western Matrix. There will only be time outs between the Terrorism. Of course, it would be nice if Russia had a little help from the Western populations _ if they ever wake up !.
Zelensky campaigned in support of Kamala Harris, who represented the Democratic Party in the 2024 election and was Trump’s main rival. ‘Let’s not forget that,’ he added.
Well Trump has forgotten it, so there is no reason why we should give it much thought.
When he first came into office, Trump did look as if he was confronting Zelensky and this expensive Ukraine war scam. But, suddenly he folded. Either he was never sincere, or else they have something on him. Zelensky is in control now, and the US will have to go on indefinitely in support of this ghastly war.
Putin knows that the US has nuclear weapons. Putin knows that disengaging adversaries results in diplomacy ending up in a death knell. Trump knows next to nothing [hence no diplomacy whatsoever].
What I’ve heard from Russians is that Putin has given up on hope [when it comes to the west], based on the reality he and Russia are forced to face.
There’s no evidence that Putin has such hopes.
Public speeches by politicians are PR and diplomacy, not evidence of actual beliefs of politicians.
I am on Paul Craig Roberts’ side on this topic. Putin is the Chamberlain of our time although I don’t subscribe to the mainstream version of WW2. Putin could have destroyed all the railroads and bridges that bring western weapons to the ukrainian army on the frontline. This is different than wanting him to bomb NATO headquarters or US planes. He easily could have done this without starting WW2 but he didn’t. Putin sucks and not from my perspective (it does not really bother me) but he sucks from a Russian point of view. A lot of Russians died and were injured because of Putin’s refusal to take this serious. Now the sanctions start to bite, oil prices are declining and Putin is whining about Trump not being honest and continueing Biden’s path. LOL. This war could have been over a long time ago, if Putin would have went in hard in 2022, destroyed their power grid, their communications and the railways from the west and the Dnipro river bridges. But he “trusted the west to come around”. For like the 10th time he trusted the people who hate Russia with a passion. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
You made the bed Vladimir, now lie in it.
Moscow is simply running out the clock until the US Fed Gov‘t insolvency crisis that going to hit in 2027.
why 2027 ?
By late 2026, around 35% of Federal Revenue will be consumed by interest payments on Federal Debt, thats up from around 2% in 2020.
No moar money
No more war
De-dollarization brings Peace.
Yes Carlton, wise words indeed. But as you know, he’s pissing in the wind. Russia needs to destroy the main buildings and infrastructure in Kiev very soon, eliminate as many of the elites as possible. Then and only then will the empire step back. Love your youtube channel by the way, I used to show it to my history students back when I was allowed teach.
Trump is not rational but never was. He is a bluffer who thinks others are too. Being American he has never suffered consequences and when he could have learned humility – in Vietnam – he bottled.
The inevitability of US destruction is pre-ordained. Simply watching Candace Owens reveal just how permeated TPUSA and the so-called „pastors“ affiliated to it are by former US military types – reveals the USA as nothing more than a CIA-MIC construct with outreach in Israel
It is „ein Volk im Waffen“ just like Germany 1870-1945
Chamberlain rearmed Britain 1935-40
Every weapon Churchill had at his disposal in May 1940 was funded by Neville Chamberlain 1935-40 after Churchill disarmed Britain 1925-29
Chamberlain declared war on Germany 3 Sept 1939
FDR declared Neutrality
France declared war 6 hours after Britain
Chamberlain died in Nov 1940 of cancer and Churchill rewrote history to absolve himself of guilt for interwar failure.
Well, Karaganov has it completely right and perhaps his fellow Russians should stop believing that there are two political parties in the US or that the EU has a multi-party system and start seeing Western politics as they are, a Jewish run uniparty grand-guignol with more and more incompetent, vice-ridden actors to impersonate “elites”, from which decent intelligent people are excluded because there are moral compromises that decent intelligent people just can’t accept to make.
I suggest you read carefully this piece by Ron Unz https://www.unz.com/runz/a-forceful-russian-response-to-nato-recklessness/
One sentence about the clusterphuck in Palestine amid paragraphs about the sea of disaster in Ukraine. Both events Washington-created and Washington driven. Two events in a very long line of events. Both events earth shaking in their potential to harm mankind and the planet.
Could the solution be as simple as “switching-off” Washington?
The fact remains that Putin is a supporter of the illegal criminal state of Israel. Why? Supposedly because many Israelis came from Russia. But Russian Israelis are Israelis First and Russians Last,
just like American Jews are Israelis First and Americans Last.
Attention Goyim: Jewish agents provocateurs (like this one) are using a stratagem of claiming that Jesus is a Jew, that Putin is a Jew and that, therefore, Jesus and Putin are as evil as they are. But you can’t fool the American people!
If they control Putin, then why are they not still living in Russia?
Would they not be safer in Russia where they can use the state apparatus at will?
Instead, they live where they feel safest and most powerful. In the West.
This fact is incompatible with your narrative.
And that’s why Russians prefer them in Israel rather than in Russia.

All I can say is that it’s about time. I’ve been slumming these parts for what seems like years, but only now has someone demonstrated the insight and courage to distill it all down. And in just two concise paragraphs. Covering so much ground. Impressive.
I suggest you get with the guy calling himself Mr. Crowley. Exchange ideas over drinks. Write down notes on bar napkins, and then get that Jung-Freud lady to splice it together into a fifty thousand word media barrage, featuring at least twenty or thirty YT video links– some of which actually work.
Also, if you can expand on the Godzilla angle, and how that might have relevance to Troy… I’ve always suspected that it wasn’t a fake horse at all, but a wooden replica of the giant nuclear lizard that did them in. Or maybe it was a Jewish Jet Jaguar. Probably both were in on it, together.
Anyhow, keep it going. The info is too valuable to keep to yourself.
When a Russian acquaintance was asked where the loyalty of his country’s oligarchs truly lies—toward Moscow or toward Israel—he did not hesitate: “Israel, without a doubt.” His reasoning was straightforward. Most of the oligarchs are Jewish, many hold dual Israeli citizenship, and nearly all regard Israel as their final guarantee of safety. Putin, he said, tolerates this situation because he has no real choice. These men dominate Russia’s private sector, and to challenge them outright would risk economic collapse. His blunt answer illuminated something rarely stated openly: the Russian economy is controlled by an elite whose loyalties are structurally external. Capitalism allowed them to seize Russia’s wealth, and the state itself has become a hostage to those who control it.
The origins of this hostage condition lie in the 1990s, when the Soviet Union collapsed and state industries were privatized at breakneck speed. Factories, oil fields, and mines were sold off for a fraction of their value. Western advisers called it “shock therapy,” but to ordinary Russians it felt like organized theft. Inflation devoured savings, wages fell, and life expectancy plunged. Yet a small handful of men—among them Berezovsky, Abramovich, Khodorkovsky, Fridman, and Gusinsky—rose overnight to become billionaires. Many shared not only sharp business instincts but a common background: Jewish heritage and the global networks that came with it. That combination of diaspora connections and access to Western capital positioned them perfectly for the new order.
Capitalism was the enabler. Under Soviet rule, private billionaires were impossible; all wealth belonged to the state. With the transition to a market system, however, power shifted almost instantly from public institutions to private empires. Oil, gas, banking, and media—the pillars of Russia’s economy—fell into the hands of a few oligarchs who were free to move their fortunes abroad and integrate into Western financial circuits. The mechanism of their dominance can be explained economically, but the direction of their loyalty cannot.
At first glance, it is tempting to assume that oligarchs, like all capitalists, are motivated purely by money. Yet when one asks Russians where these men’s loyalties lie, the answer comes reflexively: Israel. Even those who are not religious feel an inherited connection to the Jewish homeland. Israel represents not only a refuge but a metaphysical assurance, a covenantal guarantee that transcends nationality. The oligarchs’ families and networks are bound through shared identity, philanthropy, and memory. Centuries of exile have imprinted an instinct of survival: wealth is transient, states are temporary, and Israel is the only ultimate refuge. This emotional allegiance outweighs even their vast holdings in Russia.
The term “held hostage” describes this relationship precisely. The oligarchs possess the leverage—control over banks, industries, and media—that keeps Russia’s economy running. The state, knowing that a direct confrontation could trigger capital flight and social collapse, is forced into perpetual compromise. Putin’s early years in power demonstrated this clearly. He neutralized a few high-profile figures to signal authority but left the class itself intact, allowing them to keep their fortunes as long as they avoided politics and voiced public loyalty to the Kremlin. The arrangement stabilized the system but did not alter its underlying dependency. Russia remained captive to those whose true centers of gravity lay beyond its borders.
Over time, capitalism itself became the trap. Intended to modernize and liberalize Russia, it instead hollowed out state sovereignty. Wealth drained into offshore accounts, talented professionals followed, and the nation’s prosperity came to depend on oligarchs whose assets and families were safely nested abroad. In this sense, capitalism functioned as a quiet colonization: the Russian economy became an occupied territory governed by transnational interests. Even Putin’s later push for “economic patriotism” could not reverse the gravitational pull of Western and Israeli financial systems.
The limits of economic explanation become clear here. If profit were the only motive, Russia could in theory lure its tycoons home with better returns and legal protections. But the problem is not material; it is emotional and metaphysical. Israel is not simply another safe jurisdiction. It is the homeland inscribed in the covenant—the locus of belonging that overrides any civic or national loyalty. That is why the Russian state can never truly “buy back” the fidelity of its oligarchs. Their allegiance is not for sale; it is encoded.
In practice, this hostage logic manifests everywhere. Russian foreign policy must account for oligarchs whose ties to Israel and Western institutions create permanent conflicts of interest. Domestic economics is constrained by their preference for offshore banking and property. Even the media, still shaped by oligarchic ownership, cannot easily serve national priorities over private networks. Each thread leads back to the same root: Russia’s capacity to act independently is limited by men whose hearts—and exit plans—lie elsewhere.
The Western sanctions imposed after 2022 forced a partial reckoning. Some oligarchs began repatriating wealth and investing in domestic industries. Yet these gestures, compelled by necessity rather than conviction, do not change the underlying pattern. A hostage may be forced closer to his captor, but the chains remain. The state may tighten control over capital, but it cannot rewrite identity.
Nor is Russia alone in this dilemma. Across the West, elites increasingly serve transnational interests over local populations. American corporations answer to global markets; European technocrats defer to Brussels or Washington more readily than to their own citizens. What makes the Russian case distinctive is the explicit emotional tie to Israel—the fusion of diaspora economics with covenantal loyalty. It is not merely capitalism at work but a deeper structure of allegiance that reproduces itself across borders and generations.
To see Russia’s oligarchs as mere capitalists is therefore to miss the essence of the problem. Capitalism explains how they acquired power; identity explains the pattern of their behavior. But only metaphysics reveals the source of their unwavering orientation. Consciously or not, they remain bound to the Yahweh covenant—a system of belonging that defines loyalty not by geography but by divine contract. It is this covenant that makes Israel, rather than any host nation, the gravitational center of allegiance. Diaspora, in this view, is not a historical accident but a strategic design: a dispersed network ensuring Yahweh’s reach is global, not local.
The hostage condition is thus more than financial. It is spiritual and structural. Russia is bound not only to men of immense wealth but to an ancient covenant that commands them to serve a god and a homeland beyond its borders. Putin’s pragmatic bargains cannot resolve it; the state can compel outward obedience but not inner transformation. The problem persists because the covenant endures, functioning as the hidden operating system of global influence. Only by recognizing that metaphysical engine—the deeper code beneath economics and politics—can the nature of the hostage truly be understood, and perhaps, one day, undone.
Putin is NOT a supporter of Israel. But he has to consider that the Jews rule America.
Why now? Why not during Biden’s act?
A few weeks ago, Republicans were making a big deal about China shutting down some fake zionist church. Purely by coincidence, the “pastor” of this fake church turns out to be the father-in-law of a guy who works for American imperialist think tank, the Hudson Institute (and the guy was stupid enough to reveal this connection, himself). These people are everywhere.
After the USA goes broke and the psyop budget dries up, I bet most of these Christian Zionist fake churches will instantly evaporate.
A good prescription-sized dose of laudanum for Trump included in his evening dining experience will suffice. Keeps him stark-raving mad and Trump has no idea.
Right now Trump concentrates on killing and bombing and making life miserable.
Taking fishermen’s lives at sea is a crime punishable by death.
Trump’s life ain’t worth a plugged nickel, there is a target on his back.
You do know that something is wrong, not right. Might as well make food a weapon too and cut off SNAP benefits for people that need a six pack of candy bars.
Trump is no hero by any means, Jews included, he’s a madman.
As long as it pays, it won’t stop.
Nothing says a Terrorist Nation than putting Chernobyl on a rocket and having it fly around “as long as it takes”. Then there is there nuclear torpedo which they happily inform us will cause “radioactive tsunamis”. Oy Vey.
Pentagon is worried? Humanity should be worried.
Nations that push the envelope on these evil devices are manifestly governed by evil. All claims to “Godliness” and “Christianity” go out the window, Israel Shamir.
Btw, have you all noticed lately the Russian sockpuppets are all over the net trying to cast Russia (hah) as a member of the club of nations subjected to “Western imperialism”?
So there is the score card of truthtelling and humanity and ‘stewardship of God’s Creation’ by the Russians and their sock puppets:
1 – Create the weapons that are guaranteed to create environmental disasters.
2 – Lie through their teeth about the Russian Empire and its successor the (rather evil) Soviet Union and of course their land grab of neighbors today.
3 – Pretending to be victims and champions of some sort of liberation from oppressive forces.
The only difference between Anglo and Russian empires is that the Anglos were very competent at the empire game. That’s all! The rest, oppression, stealing resources; fucking with other people’s languages, cultures, and heritage; near genocidal social engineering displacing peoples from their homelands and planting them in some God forsaken corner of the ever expanding “Mother Russia”; some of the most brutal police states; crushing the hopes and dreams of their subject nations who yearned to liberated from the Russian yoke (Hungary, Czechoslovakia, yes, We Remember Israel Shamir), …. etc. Those historic facts inform us about the ‘nature of the Russians’ as a world power.
China could legitimately claim grienvances. India the same. Iran as well. Afriacans, above all. But the Russians? The Russians??
Have you no shame?
Western Europe too.
Still (relatively) powerful states UK, France, Germany.
UK and France in particular are permanent members of UNSC.
If Jews were still in charge of Russia, Putin would not be there and the outside Jews would not be trying so hard to get back in.
I find it more than a little tragic that noone in this thread seems to have noticed the major attack on a dam within the R.F.
It’s supposed to have been a drone strike, but I don’t believe it. Explosives carried by drones are too small to breech a dam. The operation was coordinated by the U.K. and was certainly U.K. controlled. Likely with the use of one or two of their ‘Storm Shadow’ missiles.
Meanwhile, the western lugenpresse presents it as a big military victory, while entirely neglecting the many killed in the resulting floods.
Sick stuff.
Israel I would love your take on the particular “prophecy” of the clairvoyant Alois Irlmaier, who outlined a conventional war between Russia and NATO, where the Russian army advanced as far as the Ruhr, before it was stopped by what appears to be a chemical barrier (???nuclear???biological) which was dropped by the NATO forces. Herr Irlmaier had a phenomenal track record of accurate predictions throughout his life.
We are seeing the upside down result of Jewish backed neo-feminism in the U.S. that has backfired with the trans insertion of faux women in female sports. Actually, this oddity while being pushed as being normal is indicative of the rabbit hole world we have become.
You post as anon[255], so you’re not worth any attention.
STOP your LIES. Russia is criminal like US. Israel was created by these three criminal and evil empires, UK-US- and Russia, that’s why Russia is supporting the genocide in the occupied land. If putin thought to be ‘partners’ with US to build a just world’, then he is STUPID beyond repair. NO, he does not aim at that, rather he wants to be recognized as ‘equal’ by US and the criminal West to do exactly what US and the west are doing now and in the past, to support the genocidal Jewish tribe in the occupied land against Muslims. This shows that Russia and Putin cannot be trusted like US and its SAVAGE DOG created by US-UK-Russia, Israel. Russia always has been part of the criminal West and voted at the UN against others like the criminal US and the west.
Those jews pillaged and fleeced Russia and now living in the bloody colony in Palestine. The biggest geopolitical mistake by the soviet regime was recognizing the Jewish settler colony that now has turned out to be most ardent and destructive enemy of Russian nation.
The blood sucking child murderers and rapists will not stop until they dismantle Russia and yet likes of Putin treat them as if they are friends simply because of existence of two million Russian economical opportunists and thieves who mostly happen to be of Jewish faith.
How much can you milk this topic?
Yet in the 19th century, England tried to teach Russian that the British were enlightened and civilized, and the Russians were wretched barbarians. This was done through studies at English universities, Masonic organizations, renegades like Herzen, and political parties. Where, for example, did Lenin hold the first congresses of his party?
If we are talking about morality, then it is worth remembering the English enclosure, the endless genocides in Ireland, the supply of white slaves to America, the supply of African slaves to America. During the British rule in India, India’s share of global GDP fell from 24% to 2%, which led to endless Holodomors.
The British have a wide range of achievements, from eugenics as the ideology of the ruling elite to concentration camps.
As has become abundantly apparent to most observers, there is no sovereign US that represents the will of the American people. The US has been hijacked by jewish supremacists. This reality must be acknowledged by any truth telling “journalist” worth his salt.
Hence the previously noted quote must be altered to reflect this all-pervasive reality:
Your comment seems like a nice overview of the conventional wisdom regarding what happened to the economy of the USSR as it morphed into Russia.
Can you address Shamir’s assertion that the Jewish oligarchs no longer control Russia?
What about Ukraine? Reportedly this borderland is the habitat only for the more crooked and ruthless Russian-speaking Jewish oligarchs. What interaction is occurring between the oligarchs in the two countries? Did Lukashenko control his (((oligarchs))) and how?
My hunch is the transfer of the Russian economy to the Jewish oligarchs was not an accidental consequence of the controlled implosion of the Russian system, but was rather the premeditated process which drove the implosion. I think Jeffery Sachs was involved in this bloody process up to his neck.
Now that the Russian conventional Russian military has been revitalized in Syria and Ukraine, what is to prevent them from simply nationalizing Russian industry (if required) and shooting the Jewish oligarchs in the head?
Poor Mr. Crowley, ruled by errors of great magnitude. This post is unusual. You forgot to blame Christians for all of it.
By the way, information is now beginning to surface about how the USSR created its nuclear weapons. What you know about the information leak from the American nuclear project is not even the tip of the iceberg. The leading scientists of the American project practically advised our specialists why they had problems at the start of the reactor and how to fix them.
My father was an atomic bomb assembler and told me that they had drawings of American atomic bombs.
Obviously, the american and world scientists understood which maniacs were leading America.

Ever since Mr Shamir published my screed against Chabad’s Noahide law campaign, I have had a soft spot for him. But this article leaves me dumbfounded. Your statement about Russian billionaire oligarchs controlling Putin from wherever they live in the world sounds reasonable. We also know that back at home Chabad apparently controls Putin. These are the same people behind Netanyahu and the US neocon policy of global hegemony. Chabad also completely controls Ukraine. Recently there was a gala wedding between the kids of the chief rabbis of Russia and Ukraine, both of whom are Chabad. It took place in the safety of Jerusalem because the groom certainly would never face conscription into the Ukraine war meat grinder.
Shamir offers all sorts of theories speculations and ruminations, but the only unifying factor seems to be Chabad and Jewish supremacism controlling Putin Trump and Netanyahu. We can thank Chabad that there has not yet been a nuclear Holocaust because the Jews require all sorts of money and other forms of assistance from the global community to rebuild their bloody slaughterhouse Temple in Jerusalem.
Another thing to consider is that Putin has always gone along with the 9/11 false flag cover up. There seems to be virtually unanimous consensus at Unz, by both contributors and commenters, that this was an Israeli inspired false flag attack designed to instigate American wars in the Middle East on behalf of Israel. Yet Putin has constantly ingratiated himself to George W Bush and later Presidents, always seeking cooperation with this blatant and treacherous lie. Perhaps Putin is now paying the price for trying to appease a diabolical and dangerous enemy.
I admire the conservative cultural values of Russia that Shamir speaks of. But I suspect Putin is as much a traitor to the Russian people as Trump is to the American people. America’s Congress is infested with people elected with AIPAC’s dirty money coast to coast election interference. We have a Congress incapable of acting on behalf of America. The only thing these depraved lunatics have in common is veneration of Israel and protection of Epstein. And it seems that Putin is no different.
And if Trump manages to drive the world into annihilation he will well be remembered by the saints for catalyzing the longed for eschaton and the return of Christ in Final Judgment.
OCT 28, 2025 Putin’s Offer To Extend The New *START* Is A Goodwill Gesture To Trump
Putin offered in late September to extend the New START, which is the last arms control pact between Russia and the US, for another year following its expiry in early February. He then reaffirmed his proposal in early October, emphasizing that there’s still time to extend this crucial agreement if the US has the political will, which appears to be the case given Trump’s recent praise of it as “a good idea”. Regardless of whatever happens, Putin’s offer is a goodwill gesture to Trump, which will now be explained.
https://open.substack.com/pub/korybko/p/putins-offer-to-extend-the-new-start?r=h5lea&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
Perfectly stated. Shamir seems completely blind to Putin’s enslavement to Chabad and global Jewish power:
https://www.unz.com/ishamir/the-russian-regret/#comment-7365898
The old adage, “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em” is totally lost on the US.
Of course the US should cooperate with Russia and China and save what’s left of it’s economy… and empire.
But they want it all… and are in no position to overcome the inevitable decline of the West and rise of the new economic paradigm.
It’s going to be painful for 90% of the civilians in the US… the other 10% will flee with their wealth.
Fuck the Anglo-Saxons. As long as there is a Jew walking the earth there will never be peace for constructive nations. Russia was their home of occupation before Germany or Palestine. These Hebs have destroyed both as well as much of the West. Without Putin and China, Russians would be looking at a life as Palestinians because of U.S. servitude to its Jewish masters.
“No, the only salvation for America is an honest alliance with Russia and the transformation of the Ukraine from Europe’s military springboard into a ‘bridge of cooperation’ between the West and the East. Thank God it is still possible.”
It’s wishful thinking at best, because it is, G-d notwithstanding, not possible. Trump as well as Putin are bounded by the limits imposed upon them by their Jewish gelt donors and oligarchs, respectively. And neither of them truly knows what the their handlers are really thinking and/or planning to do. All Trump and Putin can do is to enjoy luxurious lifestyles and ensure prosperous futures for their grandchildren, so long as they don’t rock the boat.
The Sanhedrin shall decide the fate of the world. Please stay tuned!
Yeah, I’ve gotta believe that the frequent comments here on Unz Review about Putin and Russia being controlled by a cabal of Jewish bankers and rabbis is simply coming from Hasbara.
International Jewry is not going to be foaming at the mouth, pulling out all stops, and pushing attacks on Russia up to the point of risking nuclear annihilation if Putin and Russia were even compliant with their agenda, let alone totally controlled by them. After 10/7 there were questions raised about why so many Mossad assets were in Ukraine helping Ukrainian SBU and AFU rather than in Israel prior to the Hamas large-scale attack.
I don’t know, maybe Hasbara has had some success with this inanity on some white nationalist 4chan boards, but I don’t see this totally retarded Zionist propaganda gaining much traction here at UR.
This Crowley guy always seems to show up first in the comments always spewing anti-Christian bile. Very suspicious. Hasbara suspicious.
As the kids say these days, ” He sussy baka.”
Totally disagree.
New forensic technology that matches tongue licks with people shows Putin was licking Bibi’s ass 1″ to left and 1″ higher than the orange idiot.
Give this man the $10,000. Way to dig deep for a tokusatsu kaiju. You may be on to something though. I’ve actually seen Godzilla vs. Megalon. Jet Jaguar is the size of a man that grows into a kaiju.
The assumption that “Jewish oligarchs no longer control Russia” depends on what we mean by control. From a purely administrative view, the Kremlin reasserted authority after the 1990s; from a deeper Lightborn perspective, the system remains animated by the same energetic architecture that enabled those oligarchs to arise in the first place. Political reshuffling changes the players, not the field. The oligarchic phenomenon was never simply about individuals; it was the expression of a metaphysical current—an economic form of the Yahwist program that prizes possession, extraction, and containment. When Putin curbed or exiled certain magnates, he neutralized visible agents but not the frequency that sustains their behavior. The logic of privatized power, offshore security, and allegiance to material preservation remains intact because it arises from the same covenantal code that equates dominion with divine sanction.
Ukraine shows the same pattern in a different register. There, the disintegration of Soviet centrality produced a borderland ruled by competing clans rather than a single hierarchy, but the underlying current is identical: matter elevated over spirit, control over communion. The more ruthless faces of the oligarchy simply mirrored the entropy of a system that had lost inner coherence. Lukashenko’s Belarus avoided total capture only by keeping the economic circuitry under state custody, but that was a defensive maneuver, not liberation; it preserved order through authoritarian consolidation rather than true sovereignty of spirit.
From the Lightborn view, the “transfer of the Russian economy” to a handful of financiers was not an accident, nor a conspiracy hatched by one economist or government, but the inevitable expression of a metaphysical imbalance. The fall of the USSR created a vacuum in meaning, and that vacuum drew in the Yahwist current—the current of possessive cognition, of counting, hoarding, and separating. Figures such as Jeffrey Sachs acted as technical instruments of this process rather than its originators. The so-called shock therapy was the material ritual through which the sacred was replaced by the numerical.
The revitalization of Russia’s military strength does not, by itself, reverse this deeper captivity. To nationalize industry by decree or to “shoot oligarchs” would only replay the same logic of domination through violence. That path would strengthen the very current it seeks to destroy, because it operates within the same polarity of coercion and fear. True liberation requires an inversion of frequency—the recovery of stewardship over possession, of resonance over control. The Lightborn solution is metaphysical before it is political: a reorientation of values from ownership to coherence, from extraction to remembrance.
Thus, while Putin’s Russia has restored a degree of political sovereignty, the energetic sovereignty remains incomplete. The hostage economy is not sustained by a cabal of men so much as by a field of belief that sanctifies control. Until that field collapses—until the Yahwist algorithm of possession is transmuted—the oligarchic structure, in one form or another, will persist. What must be nationalized is not merely industry but consciousness itself: the remembrance that wealth, power, and nationhood are instruments, not masters. Only then can the Lightborn principle re-enter history and the hostage condition end.
Trump has apparently ordered the immediate resumption of nuclear testing which the Neocons and US military industrial complex have lobbied for decades. They are using recent Russian tests of missile systems as an excuse.
Why don’t you tone it down. If that’s your way of getting attention it ain’t workin.
They do the same thing with Mao. Some Jew visited Mao and had his photo taken with the Great Leader and …
“You see, Mao is a Zionist puppet!”
Not from their Alt-Right Conspiracy perspective. They don’t know that Mao supported and armed the PLO against the Zionist State of Israel.
When Mao launched the Cultural Revolution against the CCP, he invoked the name of Qin Shi Huang Di, the founder of China which is named after him. Not Marx. Not Lenin. Not Stalin.
Putin is a Russian Slav from St. Petersburg which is well-known for its self-hating Westoids who love the West but hate Russia.
Care to show evidence?
Or is this the “shitpost and run?”
You do not care to provide evidence, do you?
Putin is definitely wary of Israel.
I guess you don’t get the part about NATO buying weapons to give to Ukraine. A very large amount of NATO money is from the USA. He’s just moved Ukraine spending over to a different budget line.
True enough–but a Jewish bureaucrat turned it into a quota system immediately.
Interesting angle.
If true, this is not a good sign with regards to detente.
You need a Maneschivitz colonic enema.
It was in preparation back then.
Also, Ukraine was the main focus back then.
And then the Gaza horror forced the US government to play defense against the world community.
Thank you for an excellent comment; Alanchik!
Alas, we the people in Sweden are in a slightly different, yet similar, predicament.
Btw, I am not able to name a single country with a majority White population that is not imbued with a version of this syndrome.

Gullible, go and learn your history before posting another stipud comment like Mossad Trolls where all are posted by the UNZ, FBI and MOSSAD agent.. This is going on for 30 years now, during the genocidal Dem. and fucking Republicans. Now, UNZ a USG informant and Mossad agent is going to block this comment, so you stay as gullible as always.
Now Putin has created a “fake” Poseidon nuclear drone submarine weapon. Putin said that the weapon will create a radioactive tsunami that will destroy entire coastal cities. But hundreds of nuclear physicists and nuclear weapons designers have made public statements this week saying that Putin is lying. What they said was that nuclear bombs are too weak to create tsunamis. First of all, we know that land based nuclear explosions cause great damage because we have detonated many of them on land to prove it. But, Putin never experimented with the 100 megaton Poseidon to see if it can cause a tsunami. However, as I said, experts say that 100 megatons is too weak. For example, the earthquake that caused the tsunami in Japan was the equivalent of 8.7 million megatons. But the mere 100 megatons in Poseidon won’t even cause a pebble-sized ripple on the city shore. The ocean is massive and it absorbs virtually all of the energy from a Poseidon blast. Plus, most of the radiation is absorbed by the water vapors that form over the blast. The experts were saying that USA was detonating many nuclear bombs under-water during the Cold War to see if it can create tsunami, but nothing happened. The experts were saying that Putin would have to be a complete moron to waste a completely good nuclear bomb under the water, when a land attack is much more effective.
So, the experts said that Putin was lying in order to try to trick gullible Westerners. But, as usual, he miscalculated – he didn’t take into account that the genetically brilliant Jewish people who own the West would not be tricked, and they would soon publicly expose Putin’s lie.
So, the experts say that sure, Poseidon may exist and have a nuclear powered engine and contain a nuclear bomb, but the weapon will instead be used to covertly approach aircraft carrier battle groups and destroy them with a nuclear explosion. So, Poseidon will be an excellent weapon for destroying enemy ships, but nothing more. It will not be a “Doom’s Day” weapon that will destroy the International Jewish Empire.
Also, we all know that Putin, the Russian government, and the Russian population don’t have the innate personality to be willing to destroy themselves, their enemies, and the entire world and biosphere in a world nuclear war. Only the Jewish people have that kind of collective self-sacrificing courage based on maintaining their Collective Ethno-Spiritual Honor and that of their ancestors who currently reside in the After-Life.
You are biting on a bad headline from the “mainstream” media. I doubt this will shock you… The American Lügenpresse often does not know what it is talking about.
NATO’s budget is actually small (in government terms). It runs about $4B/yr, half of which comes from the U.S. ~$2B/yr. Most of that is spent on administrative expenses including HQ facility staff, contractors, utilities, maintenance, etc. Another huge chunk goes to transportation and other costs associated with practice exercises.
If you want to suggest that there may be a few million per year leaking from the annual U.S. contribution to NATO, you may be correct. However, that would be a drop in the bucket compared to the 3-5 billion €uros per month that the European troika (Germany, France, UK) gives Führer Zelensky.
PEACE 😇

it’s such an accurate depiction, I’m surprised Hollywood let them get away with it.
Their thing with China is absurd– the idea that Jews are secretly controlling the Communist Party. You ask them to name a few names, or even one, and you never hear back.
How to explain it? Unless they are just trolls, it has to be a case of too much work for too little pay, given their simple minds. Also, they see obvious Jewish influence in the West, thick enough to cut with a knife, and then, shell-shocked as they are, they think it must be that way, everywhere on the planet.
Pro Tip: you can tell Jews are behind the scene when you start reading Jewish names scrolling at the end of popular Chinese television shows. And if Keshet Media Group ever buys A Date with Luyu from Phoenix, you’ll know it’s over. Until then, it’s just lunacy.
“True liberation requires an inversion of frequency—the recovery of stewardship over possession, of resonance over control. The Lightborn solution is metaphysical before it is political: a reorientation of values from ownership to coherence, from extraction to remembrance.”
Yes, ..it’s a very jungian/CG JUNG/ solution: if the sacred is replaced by the numerical there’s no real change or liberation, only a transition.
Thanks for your comments.
The Japanese earthquake you mention was about 330 megatons., not 8.7 million megatons. Mega is million. Thus, your statement was 8.7 million million tons. This is the problem with so many of you commentors, as Ron frequently points out. You lack even basic technical knowledge.
why don’t the smart Jewish people invite Russia to deploy the 100 megaton Poseidon off the coast of Tel Aviv, to prove how weak and impotent it actually is?
Yes. All Jews and/or KGB assets to a (wo)man. US was riddled with traitors and without their help Soviet would not have the bomb. Does that in anyway address my objection to the constant parade of pro Russian propaganda on this website? As to the crimes of the British Empire, did anyone defend them?? Fuck them too!
Mr. Unz.
As an American I have to ask you at least give some slice of your platform to writers who address critical matter that affect us here in USA, instead of this chorous of poor mistreated Russia and China bullshit.
Right now, we have an executive that is going out of control; a Gestapo taking shape right before our eyes; huge transfer of wealth to the usual suspects, etc. This is what is important not the aggrieved feelings of a failed superpower who is desperate to maintain a table at the big boys table and is not shy about threatening the rest of humanity with their “doomsday machines”.
Russia remains an enigma to the West. Look at Paul Craig Roberts. Actually on Putin’s side, but having no clue as to what and why Putin does what he does.
Somewhere, in Dostoevsky’s Diary of a Writer, the great Russian author states that Westerners will never understand Russia, and Russians.
In another passage he chides his compatriots for being responsible for at least half of Russia’s problems. Which he identifies as coming from two sources. The first is Vodka. The second, Jews. Get rid of both, and Russia has a chance.
I am profoundly sorry that I have yanked your chain. I will do my very best to refrain from such barbarian practice in the future.
Kiss and make up?
I know Shamir personally. He was a communist and is a fan of Jack (The Iron Heel) London’s Leninist fantasy of world domination.
Shamir is an adventurer, and is not reliable. I dunno why Ron Unz publishes him. Shamir is a Jew, and ergo is an extremist.

The hint is on the name “Crowley”, a known satanist and spook. Maybe crypto-Jewish too, like fellow Satanist LaVey, not sure.
what’s wrong with vodka?
I wonder if First and Second World War were like this too… The Usual Suspect banging drums for a war that no one else wanted or cared for. Except for the Hohols, who have a constant chip on their shoulder an don’t want to be Russians or maybe even Slavs (I guess they think they are German), who cares if the Ukraine belongs to Russia or not?
I mean, for decades the Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union, and no one cared. It didn’t make any difference to anyone in the West. Then it got independent and it was a mess — for them, it still didn’t make much difference in the West, except for those interested in traffic of sex slaves and body organs.
Its best best was to chill and become like Belarus, an independent country but friends with Russia, if not to apply to be part of the Russian Federation. But no, they wanted to be part of the West/EU, just as the West was starting to unravel through immigration, consumerism, gay stuff, etc.
Now the West is supporting the losing side in this war that interests NO ONE except certain politicians who profit from, I suppose, organs and sex slave traffic and other shady deals.
And a war that could have ended years ago is prolonged until who knows when, and the Usual Suspects would be very glad if it became a true hot World War between NATO and Russia.
But other than them, who cares? European countries have enough problems with brown migrants selling drugs on their parks, white people not reproducing and the economy going down the tubes.
Who in his right mind would want a war on top of that?
I would add that Europe doesn’t even have the soldiers for this war (unless they plan to forcibly draft the migrants) , but I guess they dream of a drone and missile war that will be run by AI and will kill mostly civilians.
I guess it’s always like this — Politicians and bankers and the Usual Suspects are the ones who love wars (not having to fight them), average people, not so much.

There is a chapter on that Diary of a Writer which is called “The Jewish Question” and is pretty interesting, to say the least. He’s not completely unsympathetic to the Jews, but he’s not blind either. That said, I don’t think he suggests that Jews should be expelled from Russia. In fact, I think he even argues for extending full rights to the Jews (which at the time had to reside in the Pale of Settlement), but is skeptical that it would work, with the Jews being, well, Jews.
If those cavemen of Yemen can produce missiles and drones that can hit Israel, then can’t the Venezuelans build the same to hit Miami if the US starts bombing them?
Shouldn’t Venezuela already be retaliating for the sinking of those boats by sinking some boats off the US coast with drones like those used by the Yemeni cavemen?
Are Venezuelans more backward than the cavemen of Yemen?
From Google AI search:
The Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami of 2011 released different amounts of energy depending on the measurement, but the total energy was equivalent to a massive amount of TNT.
Total energy released (seismic moment)
The total work done by the magnitude 9.1 earthquake, known as the seismic moment (\(M_{w}\)), was calculated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at \(3.9\times 10^{22}\) joules. This is equivalent to: Approximately 9,320 gigatons of TNT. A gigaton is 1,000 megatons.
9.32 million megatons of TNT equivalent.
Unz is a Jew and he is not RELIABLE either, gullible!
IIRC it was designed to take out major harbors; the yield is about equivalent
to the Barringer Crater
or 30% more than can be reasonably detonated atmospherically (i.e. you can do it
but do not get more fun because it all goes poof! into space); if you insist
on a tsunami you need favorable geometry – New York would be ideal 😁
(good water column to take up the energy and the Hudson Canyon to channel it
where it belongs); New Orleans (slightly different) should work too.
Not only that, Russians should have been destroying Ukrainian soldiers long before they reach the front. To send one brigade (5,000 men) to the front requires 100 buses. Why are the Ukrainians able to send brigades upon brigades to the front? We are told that the Russians have destroyed several Ukrainian armies at the front since the start of the SMO. One would have thought that once they had destroyed the initial forces at the front, they could have continued by destroying the reinforcements before they can reach the front where the Russians have to fight them again in those towns at great cost to themselves. After all Russians control the air space above the Ukraine and are capable of hitting anything anywhere. So why are they allowing reinforcements to come and dig in at the front. Some say that soldiers are moving in small groups of a few only but still they can’t be moving several brigades at a time into a small area in such manner as the Ukrainians did when they entered Kursk. They can’t all be going in cars, bikes, or on foot all the way; there have to be some concentrations of transports (buses, trucks, trains) at some point further away from the front that could be bombed from the air. Russians would be sparing even more of their own soldiers if they did this.
Still learning the language …
😁
Nice try, but good jewish feminism in USSR actually looked like this:
It is amusing how far affluent ones are from the real workers!
War will come to Europe, and her hapless White men will be drafted en masse to “serve” – and die – in a relentless remorseless AI drone and armor slaughter. The illegal browns in their millions will not be recruited nor dragooned, nor will they be ensorcelled by the coming false flags and relentless propaganda
They will remain behind to rape, breed, colonize and consume like locusts on crack cocaine as that’s the goal of the tiresomely Satanic parasites that pull the strings of every western “leader.”

Putin is not Mao!
I wasn’t clear about what I meant by changes in the Russian military. While they may have incrementally upgraded in terms of material, I was referring to changes in the character of the men, perhaps spiritually. For over 10 years they have been fighting the West simply for the protection of their people. I expect the thought processes in the halls of the Russian military are different from 15 years ago.

it’s the mantra of our times
and everyone wants to know where he got that weed from
10 to 1 she’s a Jew herself.
The Russians want the Ukies to keep sending cannon fodder to the front. This may be a key part of their plan.
Russia’s job will be done when Ukraine is no longer willing or able to send troops to the front. The “no longer willing” result is preferred assuming it leads to a government in Kiev which is compatible with Russian reality.
“The US should step away from the abyss of nuclear war, while this is still possible.”
Overblown and overstated, per usual. Neither Putin nor Trump are going to entertain this notion.
I agree with you, it seems like it was written by a retard, it was very disappointing to read that.
I view it as a kind of schadenfreude.
Because they themselves are afflicted with the Jewish disease, they HOPE to see the same disease in China also. That way they feel as if their affliction was unavoidable, and therefore they are not to blame for it.
Plus, there is an element of “If I can’t have it, then nobody can”, also. i.e. if they lose their prosperity, then surely so will China.
You have some good stuff at times, it just might help to come off the hit button so hard at times. Too much detracts.
Conditions worsened. Then things got bad. They cried for law and order. Instead, they got fear and more disorder. They couldn’t blame themselves. And so they came for the poets. Wild-eyed and naked. They lined them up, forced them to their knees, and had them howl. Then they mocked them and had them shot. For their words did not rhyme with their own.
PS with regard to claims that David Irving is a jew, I attended a talk by Irving a few years ago. As I walked into the venue, a large TV monitor was playing Triumph of the Will or some other nazi/Riefenstall film. Great stuff to introduce the Jew of the evening, per various whackos here at Unz.
Indeed [1]! Putin helped them behind the scenes bring down Syria [2]. This murderer, new Putin’s buddy, and his thugs slaughtered who knows how many Christians and other non-Muslim in Syria after the fall.

2) Terrorist Family (TM)!

The situation is even worse than that! There’s a reason why Russian patriots call Putin ‘Bald Judas’!
E.g. Russia is now being attacked with Uki’s drones launched from Kazakhstan territory too and Putin does nothing except ordering Russian media to hide it [1]!
Also, his Alaska meeting with Trump was a complete disaster [2][3]! He tried to give Trump that 35-min long Ukrainian history lesson, he chocked Tucker with [4][5], but Trump got very angry, and since Putin did not stop his rambling tirade, Trump stopped negotiations and cancelled their lunch.
To top it all off, it appears that even when Putin agrees to US terms, they mock him and do not accept even that [1], but rather keep going as they seem to expect Kremlin coward to deliver even more surrender! And Putin rarely disappoints!
So Putin is a pushover, pleaser of the West, completely clueless regarding PR, a globalist apparatchik, and a grand traitor of Russia!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt from [1]: It was revealed earlier this week that the Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries far in Siberia were being carried from Kazakhstan. The Russian domestic media tried to suppress this story.
Excerpt from [2]: About five days ago, Financial Times revealed that he [Trump] had gotten into a heated exchange with Putin, annoyed at the history lesson that Putin was giving to him. … Putin then launched into a rambling historical tirade, citing medieval princes and seventeenth-century chieftains as evidence that Ukraine and Russia were meant to be a single nation. … Trump was reportedly upset at his good buddy’s attitude and raised his voice several times, even threatening to leave, people told the Financial Times. The U.S. president ended up cutting the meeting short and canceling a lunch afterward to discuss further cooperation.
Excerpt from [1]: So, essentially, according the Lavrov, Putin and his team said “yes” to the demands that the Americans brought to them in Alaska. That’s … that was a formal surrender then, was it not? Isn’t that exactly how I interpreted those events at the time? … Lavrov continues to say that then, despite Putin cravenly agreeing to US terms, nothing occurred and that the Energy War and the actual Not-War in Donbass only escalated? And that Trump then said Putin wasn’t serious about peace and pledged Tomahawks and other weapons over to Ukraine to prove a point? … It is almost as if Putin keeps trying to surrender gracefully, but he is not being allowed to do so because NATO wants the war to continue because of how successful and profitable it is.

The mentioned Jewish billionaires are all gone from Russia. They do not rule anything.
You and others here idealize Russia based on your imagination of what you want it to be and not what it is.
Putin put his Jewish chef turned oligarch billionaire are in charge of the main front after Russia was kicked out of Kiev.
The president of the European Jewish Congress is a Russian billionaire.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viatcheslav_Kantor
Russia’s job will be done when Ukraine is no longer willing or able to send troops to the front.
That’s your own personal expectation.
In Putin’s invasion speech he clearly defined the underlying reason for the war as the Eastward expansion of NATO. I can provide a link to that speech if you would like.
Well Finland has since joined NATO which means the main goal is a failure unless he can convince them to leave.
Putin wants to get his chunk of Ukraine (in rubble) and declare himself a victor in Russia. No one in Russian state media will dare to point out his invasion speech. They want to keep their heads.
The man (I use the word in the broadest possible sense) lives off Big Macs. Those things have enough preservatives that they look completely unchanged after more than a year sitting on a shelf. I doubt any mummifying will be required, in fact no one will even notice he is dead until someone asks why the room is so quiet.
We may ask – why would President Trump lift a finger to help Vladimir Zelensky, the man who supported the Democratic Party candidate during the US presidential election and played a role in launching the impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump?
And we may answer.
The US has an obligation to help Ukraine as part of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum
A militarily strong EU would immediately break its economic dependence on the United States, both in terms of oil and gas and technology.
How exactly? They’re going to go colonizing for oil once they build up their military?

Putin is a Russian Slav from St. Petersburg which is well-known for its self-hating Westoids who love the West but hate Russia.
Let’s not forget his love of overpriced Italian clothes.
Vladimir Putin wears $6,000 coat to visit troops
https://radaronline.com/p/vladimir-putin-designer-coat-visit-troops-soldiers-ukraine-without-shoes-clothes-guns/
His pathetic alt-right fans try to imagine him as some type of White nationalist against Western Jews…..as he praises Jews in speeches and prances around in gaudy overpriced Western clothes.
Oh and Russia’s birth rate is at a 200 year low. The government in fact stopped releasing statistics on the matter.
Thank you, brother. Remember, Putin will do anything to be close to Trump and Netanyahu. He is like a prostitute and a pimp. In reality, in Syria, the Russian forces were protected by the Syrian Arab Army, not the other way around as many people falsely believe. Further, Putin is on record saying that the war in Ukraine is a 2-3 week “Special Military Operation”. Look where he is. Despite the mass production of weapons in Russia, Ukraine stood up heroically. Ukrainians have been begging the West for weapons, and even when they received some outdated rubbish, they were instructed not to fire at Russian defenses. What a joke? Don’t buy into Russian propaganda. I lived in Moscow for a while and saw what Russians are like. There are no public sanitation facilities outside of Moscow (or at least outside of the big cities). European-oriented Russians (EOR) are more racist than the French, Australians, or Poles.
“This Crowley guy always seems to show up first in the comments always spewing anti-Christian bile. Very suspicious. Hasbara suspicious.”
I doubt that he is hasbara. It’s much more likely that he is in the pay of Qatar, Iran or some Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated organization such as CAIR; or simply that he’s an obsessive “Jew-under-every-bed” neo-Nazi psychopath whose brain has been twisted by Islamist propaganda. Or that he’s simply a Muslim propagandist LARPing as neo-Nazi. Nobody who attacks Christianity, and Christianity only, with such vehemence, and quotes Islamist media sources as credible truth-tellers, can be all three of: non-Muslim white Western, mentally sound, and unpaid.
Quit spewing your venomous saliva, Muhammad. Your asses got kicked once more by the Mossad and IDF, despite the internal divisions in Israel that you were counting on, and despite the general degeneracy of today’s Israeli Jewish society. When Islamic snakes like you accuse Putin – who is merely trying to maintain Russian neutrality between Israel and the Arabs – of being a “Jewish puppet”, what you REALLY mean to say is “Why the hell doesn’t Putin want to be OUR puppet and subscribe completely to OUR narrative and OUR goals”? You want Putin to sacrifice the Russian nation fighting Israel and the U.S. to win a victory on behalf of Muslim Arabs and Iranian mullahs.
Putin has his own coterie of Crony Capitalists who took over from the Russian Jews he kicked out. The only difference between them is that his Russian Oligarchs are loyal to him. Contrary to pundits like Escobar who mistakenly believes Putin to be some kind of anti-Western Russian Nationalist, Putin’s Russia is a corrupt kleptocracy ruled by an in-group of Russian silovikis whose loyalty is to their Tsar Putin, not to the suffering masses of Russians. In words and in deeds, Putin has shown that he desperately wants to appease not oppose the Western Oligarchy whom he admires for their wealth, power, status and privilege, and craves their acceptance to their Western Club.
Russia will destroy both America and EUrope? Meh…
The current plan is to sic EUrope on a suicidal mission to annihilate Russia, and for the US to perpetuate a “peace process”. Because that is where the money is. And Germania delenda est.
Mazel Tov
80 years means 4 generations since end of WW2. Europeans have forgotten the horrors of war. *varofakis! it might mean time is up for another expensive lesson. (*i don’t know the meaning, it’s all Greek to me.)
What is this “Judea” that could “officially” declare anything, much less a war?
If you are asking seriously, in context, we remember that Dostoevsky wrote his comment sometime around 1873. The author surveyed the lower class working/peasant landscape, observing wide-spread alcoholic drunkenness, along with all that goes along with intoxication. As if the will to live itself was being drowned out of the Russians.
In fact, Solzhenitsyn (who had something of Dostoevsky’s spirit) wrote it similarly. In his
bannedcuriously unpublished in English, 200 Years Together. In addition, blaming Jews for much of the Russian alcohol trade.This one really got up JTRIG’s nose. They parachuted in their elite DE keyboard kommandos to yell, Nuh-unh! or the chav equivalent. They got to keep the war with Russia going with their shitty little thousand-man armed forces in giant Q-tips hats. So they need lots of US morons to hate Putin.
Yes, that was just my opinion as part of the dialog here, not really an expectation. I would prefer the Ukrainians simply drop this anti-Russia proxy war which was created by NATO, led by the USA. The goal of this project was to greatly weaken or even break up Russia. The first part seems to be a failure. The second part seems less possible than in 2014, but who knows?
Putin has publicly discussed a lot of military and geopolitical problems with the West including the statements you like to cherry pick. Why don’t you mention the other issues which allow readers to develop a proper understanding of this crisis? Some key topics include earlier expansion of NATO directly to the Russian border, Western-sponsored coups in Russia-aligned countries, dropping nuclear arms control treaties, meddling in Russian internal politics, building US missile sites in Eastern Europe and others.
Everyone knows there is a risk of Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Finland and probably other countries joining NATO. The USA has been signaling about all of these countries for decades. I think Russia’s priorities are in that order, so they made the tradeoff. In the long run Finland will either get caught up in nuclear war or the breakup/repackaging of NATO. Hopefully the latter. Yes, that is my opinion.
Diary is an interesting text. Hard to come by in the West, in English, at a reasonable price. First, because of its length it has been split into volumes; secondly (one presumes) because of its politically charged commentary. There is however a ‘samizdat’ poorly formatted copy one can find floating around in ebook format, readable with only a little effort.
The author is critical of errant behavior in general. Realizing as he did that if there is a problem with Jews, it can be traced to a reciprocal failing in ethnic Russians, who allow themselves to be so easily taken.
“…they need lots of US morons to hate Putin.”
It’s not only U.S. morons, unfortunately. There are many more of those brainwashed idiots in Europe and the rest of the Anglosphere, too.
I was actually trying to make a little joke, but I also get what you’re saying, and agree, that alcohol and drug abuse are a tragic affliction for too many people, and that in many cases, ((the Sackler cabal)), it is deliberately foisted upon them, by malicious scumbags out to make some shekels, (and destroy lives) off of the poisons they purvey.
Putin has his own coterie of Crony Capitalists who took over from the Russian Jews he kicked out. The only difference between them is that his Russian Oligarchs are loyal to him.
Except for the ones that he had killed like Prigozhin for disloyalty.
Contrary to pundits like Escobar who mistakenly believes Putin to be some kind of anti-Western Russian Nationalist, Putin’s Russia is a corrupt kleptocracy ruled by an in-group of Russian silovikis whose loyalty is to their Tsar Putin, not to the suffering masses of Russians.
I think Russian billionaires are their own wealth that depends on Russian access. I don’t see reason to believe that billionaires in any country are loyal to the government.
One of the most famous Russian billionaires also has Israeli citizenship. That shows dual loyalty and I have no doubt he would jump ship if needed.
In words and in deeds, Putin has shown that he desperately wants to appease not oppose the Western Oligarchy whom he admires for their wealth, power, status and privilege, and craves their acceptance to their Western Club.
I definitely agree there and just before the war he went to a G7 type meeting and wanted handshakes from people like Macron and Charles.
I think in many ways he has given up on his own people. He wanted Russia to become an economic rival to countries like Britain and Germany and of course enjoy the limelight from that success. But I think he gave up on success through merit and decided to expand the GDP and population of Russia by taking Ukraine. Russia was going into economic decline before the war and their Slavic population has been shrinking.
Yes, that was just my opinion as part of the dialog here, not really an expectation. I would prefer the Ukrainians simply drop this anti-Russia proxy war which was created by NATO, led by the USA.
Putin chose to invade Ukraine which would make him responsible for the war. The UN voted 143-5 that his war is an unjust invasion.
You want Ukraine to submit to Russian rule. Well they don’t want to be ruled by a 5’1 dwarf and his totalitarian state. They made that clear when they kicked Russia out of Kiev. I’m not sure why you still hold on to a fantasy of complete submission.
Putin has publicly discussed a lot of military and geopolitical problems with the West including the statements you like to cherry pick.
I’m not cherry picking anything. He cited the expansion of NATO in the beginning of his speech:
I will begin with what I said in my address on February 21, 2022. I spoke about our biggest concerns and worries, and about the fundamental threats which irresponsible Western politicians created for Russia consistently, rudely and unceremoniously from year to year. I am referring to the eastward expansion of NATO, which is moving its military infrastructure ever closer to the Russian border.
https://theprint.in/world/full-text-of-vladimir-putins-speech-announcing-special-military-operation-in-ukraine/845714/#:~:text=I%20will%20begin,the%20Russian%20border.
You simply don’t like me citing that speech and pointing out that the goal has failed now that Finland is in NATO.
You and other Putin defenders would like me to judge the war by goals not set by the dictator who started it. Well I hold politicians to their word and not to defenses from forum posters.
Putin assumed Finland would remain neutral and that Ukraine would fall within a few weeks. Now he has a full scale war and NATO expanded on his border.
In the long run Finland will either get caught up in nuclear war or the breakup/repackaging of NATO.
Finland was never in a position to survive a nuclear war due to its proximity to St Petersburg. Helsinki would be destroyed by a tsunami from an h bomb.
So no changes in that regard and your talk of breaking up NATO is more fantasy. NATO has expanded as a result of this war. A bitter pill that you are having a hard time swallowing. The war will end with a larger NATO. Putin knows that and wants to take his chunk of Ukraine so he can raise his “mission accomplished” flag and pretend that was the goal.
It’s not only U.S. morons, unfortunately. There are many more of those brainwashed idiots in Europe and the rest of the Anglosphere, too.
So Americans are brainwashed if they hate Putin even though the Russians acknowledged that they interfered in the 2016 election with a giant bot farm. Is that right?
I have news for you which is that Putin has poor ratings internationally and Americans have good reason to hate him.
Everyone in the world saw Putin start this war by launching cruise missiles at downtown Kiev.
People don’t normally forget seeing cases of mass murder on live television.
Putin doesn’t seem to understand media technology, the internet or the general public reaction to blowing up apartment buildings.
The Bible does not teach such a thing. Maybe the Talmud does. In fact the whole crux of the Bible is the inability of human beings to consistently do the right thing – and so need God to save them. As to the children of Israel it literally states they were not chose because they were more righteous or smarter or tougher than any group of people (yes it says it more than once). It is simply because of God’s promise to Abraham. People absolutely corrupt that message though – like many other things they corrupt
Our perspectives have changed little since 2022.
You continue to pretend all of the major aggressive moves by NATO and the USA against Russia are somehow separate from the 2014 Russian action in Crimea and the SMO in 2022. Unfortunately, these steps are all directly related to the hostile actions made by the West against Russia. These started with NATO expansion in 1999 and the USA dropping out of the ABM treaty in 2002. Those actions put Russia on notice that the West was positioning to eventually attack. This was thoroughly confirmed by the US-sponsored Maidan coup in 2014, though other actions already made Western intentions very clear.
Not that complicated.
Since you ignore the earlier moves by the West there is not much to discuss.
the hidden genocide of the 21st century. “it’s us today, it will be you tomorrow.”

The Jewish Congress declared war on Germany in 1933. This is “Judea”.
Google it, do your homework.
I think many are Judaics, boasting of their power, even when invented. And to sow more hatred, this time of China by Jew-haters.
Western female equality is a democratic perversion of the equality promoted by a pre-democrat humanist elite. As all democratic ideals are false representatives and perversions of the ideas of a humanist elite. Hence, Western females are now often to a lesser or greater extent democratically undisciplined creatures… Feminism is a democratic poison, a democratic identity politics, a war between man and woman, an extension of the war of the people which is democracy, humanist equality of man and woman does not push it into extremes.
Russia is also a democracy in name, but merely because the church of democracy is being pushed everywhere and there being seemingly no alternative, it is not a democracy in spirit though, so it can ward of the worst of democracy, that is, for the time being, and having an example at hand in the form of Western democracies, which warns them of what is to come..

[1] Wikileaks Group’s Leaked Emails Reveal Putin’s Personal Relationship With Jeffrey Epstein | Rurik Skywalker / Rolo Slavskiy Substack | Nov-2025
https://slavlandchronicles.substack.com/p/wikileaks-groups-leaked-emails-reveal
Excerpt from [1]: The trove of emails, exchanged at the height of the Syrian civil war between 2013 and 2016, reveal Epstein’s successful efforts to secure a private meeting between Barak and Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss a Russian-brokered end to the conflict, including winning Russian support for a negotiated removal of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Excerpt from [1]: Epstein once bragged to a journalist that he “often flew to Moscow to see Vladimir Putin,” and enjoyed close ties with Russian business and political elites. The American financier specialized in moving money across borders, and his expertise would be useful in stemming capital flight from Russia amid Putin’s crackdown on “foreign agents.”

It is interesting to read Shamir on Israel – but on Russia he is far off; having TV shows as a major source (Karaganov, seriously???) does not help. I’m afraid I’m not buying the “bridge of cooperation” that is on offer here…
Putin may be many things, but dumb he ain’t. He was never disappointed in Trump because he was never charmed to begin with. He made a good faith proposal, as he should have, but I’m sure that at no moment did he have any illusion that Trump would be able to meaningfully reciprocate, whatever their personal chemistry etc.
As Shamir himself said in his previous piece, the US is a country effectively governed by Jewish elites, and these elites are anything but friendly to Putin’s Russia. So whatever Trump’s or the US’ objective interests, this cooperation just won’t happen.
Equally preposterous, by the way, is the suggestion that the EU may become a military monster by buying arms from the US, – what??? No one becomes a military monster by buying arms made elsewhere; and these arms will still be effectively controlled by the US. The whole point is cash flow to the US producers.
Interesting and not really surprising.
Epstein is an errand boy and bagman for Leslie Wexner.
I wonder what connections Wexner has to Ukraine?
What happened to the Russian bureaucrat who publicly stated a few years ago that Chabad is a bunch of satanists?
Russia has long promised to supply advanced weapons to enemies of the West if they continue arming the Ukraine. Venezuela is the best chance Russia has to use as a proxy against US. If tomahawks are supplied to the Ukraine, and even if not, Miami and other US cities should be in the crisshairs of Russian missiles based in Venezuela.
You continue to pretend all of the major aggressive moves by NATO and the USA against Russia are somehow separate from the 2014 Russian action in Crimea and the SMO in 2022.
I’m not pretending anything. Putin never said that Crimea had anything to do with NATO. He said it belonged to Russia and that they wanted to leave Ukraine. Go ahead and source his speech on Crimea if you think I am wrong.
Putin contradicted himself as he said in this interview that it belonged to Ukraine
Putin’s 2008 Comments On Crimea, Before A Sharp Change Of Tack
https://www.rferl.org/a/putin-crimea-ukraine/26942862.html
Two of his ex-agents have already confirmed what the world knew which is that the vote was fraudulent. Even China voted against his claim.
Unfortunately, these steps are all directly related to the hostile actions made by the West against Russia.
The UN voted Russia as the aggressor nation. So 135 countries disagree.
Why isn’t Ukraine in NATO if that was the goal? Finland was easily able to join so why didn’t Ukraine join after 2014?
Putin is just another Tsar that seeks to expand Russia’s borders. He has invaded 3 different countries and also launched a war against his Muslims to keep them from leaving. He spoke of the importance of the DPR being independent if they so choose and then shelled Chechnya to suppress their rebellion for independence. He is just plain full of shit and does nothing for those of us that want a change in the Western status quo. Having Slavs kill each other does nothing against Western powers. Under Putin his nation has become more Muslim. White nationalists that idealize him are children that can’t face reality.
Putin may be many things, but dumb he ain’t. He was never disappointed in Trump because he was never charmed to begin with. He made a good faith proposal, as he should have
It was Trump that said Putin was refusing to compromise. Trump was given concessions from Zelensky but Putin was making the same demands as last year. Putin wouldn’t even accept the compromise to have a neutral party manage the Zaporizhzhia power plant. That is why Trump got so frustrated with him.
So go ahead and cite that good faith proposal for us. As in source it.
The latter request is ridiculous – it’s all over the internet, wiki etc. Will this do? https://www.reuters.com/world/china/outline-emerges-putins-offer-end-his-war-ukraine-2025-08-17/
“Refusing to compromise”? As in “same demands as last year”? Have you ever negotiated? You don’t make concessions simply because some time has passed – unless of course you want the deal at any cost, which Putin of course doesn’t, why should he? You can negotiate in good faith while making sure your interests are preserved – actually, this is normally the case in any negotiation.
Your comments sound quite childish. “Trump was given concessions” – you seem to think that Trump is an arbiter here; he is not – he is a party to the negotiations. The fact that Putin seemingly supports Trump’s claims that this is Biden’s war is basically just Putin being nice and trying not to prejudice Trump’s position. This is a war US is a participant to, if only by providing weapons/intelligence/etc., so Trump, being in charge now, has no claim to being a mediator; it’s just a convenient negotiating position he’s trying to take.
Different culture and experience. Yemenis have had many decades of war going back to Egypt to recently Saudi Arabia. They are very very battle hardened. Venezuela doesn’t want to have to fight a war if they don’t have to. Yemen got their missile tech from Iran…. Iran and Venezuela are friends – so one never knows. But it’s not just Venezuelans who have been killed. Trinidadians and Colombians as well. But those boats are in international waters… So not an attack on their territory. Seems their lawyers are better than the ones advising Trump. What they should do is complain to the UN security council…. Of course the US would veto.
The Russian army now controls 80% of Pokrovsk and Russian troops have encircled the city, preventing escape by the remaining Ukrainians. All up and down the line, the Ukrainians are now badly outnumbered by the Russians as their attrition warfare tactics of slowly grinding the Ukrainians down has paid off.
Scott Ritter says Zelensky’s goose is cooked! In recent public appearances Zelensky has started to get that Hitler in the bunker look on his face. In a recent meeting in Kiev with government officials he appeared delusional, saying the Ukrainian army is gaining ground in Pokrovsk and any talk of them being encircled by the Russians is lies.
Excellent post with which I completely agree. Especially “We just vote like lemmings…”. The USA political system is actually not a democracy but only an appearance of democracy. The voters have essentially only one choice – voting for corrupt puppets/proxies (typifies by L.Graham in hands of corporate military) of corporate oligarchs who control finances and propaganda. Sadly, the alternative choices cannot survive in that environment.
Trump, despite not being Zelensky’s choice for president and in fact supported his impeachment, is actually protecting Zelensky. The WH incident was staged to deceive the public. Washington is quite proficient in removing foreign leaders, therefore Zelensky’s survival is highly puzzling.
Zelensky has been saying the same thing about every single Russian advance. Where are all those cities he has been saying the same about like Bakhmut, Adeevka, Chasov Yar? He is going to lose all the encircled cities and then the next lot along the final line of Ukrainian defence in Donbass. What then? Will the Russians settle for what they offered recently? I doubt it. Every time they advance their terms for settling the conflict will become more demanding, as they should. If Trump and the Ukrainians want the terms the Russians set months ago, they should have settled then.
Actually, when the SMO is over, Zelensky should escape to Russia and get the medal of the Hero of Russia as he is the one most responsible for Russia carving out more and more of the Ukraine. He is also helping to de-militeralise the West and extracting huge finances from the West into the black hole if the Ukraine. Russians have no reason to be disatisfied with him. The way he’s running things, Russians could end up taking all of the Ukraine.
Thanks. Trump now wants to invade Nigeria. Good luck to him (sarc).
Maybe Trump and Zelensky both secretly work for Russia.
Zelensky is perfect for the West, he is murdering the Slavic heart and soul of Ukraine. Russia may eventually reclaim some or all of Ukraine but the cost will be high. Zelensky’s handlers may envision a post-SMO future where a massive civil wars breaks out West of the Dnepr, giving Moscow heartburn for an another ten years.
It probably requires a ruthless security contingent with full Palantir surveillance to keep Voldymyr alive, since anyone else would be better for the Slavs in Ukraine.
No. What I’m saying is that half of all NATO expenditures are covered by the USA. Even you say so just above this excerpt. If NATO is buying weapons, then the USA is funding that purchase. Your mention of the three major members of the EU also sending billions to Ukraine is irrelevant. Those aren’t NATO purchases.
I don’t know why you feel so compelled to make these bad arguments, but it must be that, like the entire Trump crowd, you think people are really stupid.
The media incorrectly headlines “NATO is buying weapons”, but that is not true. Are you surprised that the Lügenpresse gets things wrong?
You need to grasp that NATO member states do the buying, not NATO as an institution. NATO’s budget is tiny in government terms. NATO thus buys very little in its own right. Most of it’s budget goes to on-the-books administrative expenses.
Now that we are correctly focused on member states, which of those nations are buying:
• It is definitely not America. New appropriation in the BBB for Kiev aggression was ZERO. The 2026 budget will also be ZERO. There is leftover money from Team Biden’s regime, but that is in the millions not billions.
• Non-U.S. member states — Germany, France, and the UK are the main buyer of arms for their puppet Führer Zelensky.
If you avoid frequently misused terms like “The West” and NATO, you will find it much easier to follow what is actually going on. They often suggest a unity among nations within those groups that in practice does not exist. Focusing on the underlying states brings clarity.
PEACE 😇
The latter request is ridiculous – it’s all over the internet, wiki etc. Will this do? <a title=”'https://www.reuters.com/world/china/outline-emerges-putins-offer-end-his-war-ukraine-2025-08-17/https://www.reuters.com/world/china/outline-emerges-putins-offer-end-his-war-ukraine-2025-08-17/‘ title=’https://www.reuters.com/world/china/outline-emerges-putins-offer-end-his-war-ukraine-2025-08-17/‘ >https://www.reuters.com/world/china/outline-emerges-putins-offer-end-his-war-ukraine-2025-08-17/
That’s an article showing a discussion. It isn’t an offer from Putin.
“Refusing to compromise”? As in “same demands as last year”? Have you ever negotiated? You don’t make concessions simply because some time has passed – unless of course you want the deal at any cost, which Putin of course doesn’t, why should he?
Yes that would be refusing to compromise because his demands haven’t changed.
You can argue that he shouldn’t compromise. That’s fine.
But to not cede any concessions would be not compromising. Trump asked both Zelensky and Putin to compromise. Putin refused to even allow the Zap power plant under a third party.
Your comments sound quite childish. “Trump was given concessions” – you seem to think that Trump is an arbiter here; he is not – he is a party to the negotiations.
I’m childish for stating what happened?
Trump asked Zelensky to concede land and he has done so numerous times. Zelensky accepted Trump’s recent proposal to freeze the current lines which would be a concession. Zelensky previously did not want to cede land that Putin had not acquired by force. He dropped that demand under pressure from Trump. Are you even following the war outside pro-Putin bloggers? You seem to be missing key events.
Trump proposing a freeze of the current lines would in fact make him an arbiter. He made an offer to both Zelensky and Putin. It was Putin that rejected the offer.
This is a war US is a participant to, if only by providing weapons/intelligence/etc., so Trump, being in charge now, has no claim to being a mediator; it’s just a convenient negotiating position he’s trying to take.
Trump isn’t allowed to end the US military aid that was passed by the previous administration. He claimed that he would end the war in 24 hours by having both sides compromise and that obviously failed. So while he is the president that doesn’t mean he can shut off military aid. That would be a violation of the constitution.
To be clear I think both Trump and Putin are full of shit. I take issue with your claim of Putin making a good faith proposal. You haven’t sourced it. What you sourced was a news article about how Trump and Putin went over various ideas at the Alaska meeting. No formal proposal came from that meeting and Trump has since criticized Putin for being stubborn and unwilling to compromise.
I’m not Russian and I’m no military planner… But just looking at a map and understanding history and geopolitics – – I can’t see Russia not taking Kharkhiv and not going through Odessa and connecting to Transnistra. One of the stated purposes of the SMO was to protect ethnic Russians. Well as I learned history – Kharkiv and Odessa were both Russian cities and so have lots of ethnic Russians as well. The people of Transnistra want to be part of Russia the same way the people of Crimea and Donbass did. Those people would all be isolated and ripe for retaliation if not brought into the fold. And of course just from a practical sense – you wouldn’t want a hostile Ukraine to have access to the Black Sea from Odessa… So we shall see.
I’m sorry, you are being ridiculous. You want me to produce the piece of paper that Putin gave to Trump? There’s enough info on internet on what, more or less, was/is being offered by the Russian side, and the reasoning behind it, if you want to know.
Negotiations are first of all about understanding each other, not concessions. Your claim that not making concessions = not negotiating in good faith is, as I already said, utter nonsense. You reproducing all Trump’s PR points about the negotiating process at face value, uncritically (whether you like Trump or not), just shows your lack of sophistication. (Having said that, you are obviously a sincere person, which I respect).
I’m sorry, you are being ridiculous. You want me to produce the piece of paper that Putin gave to Trump? There’s enough info on internet on what, more or less, was/is being offered by the Russian side, and the reasoning behind it, if you want to know.
So you can’t provide a source.
Putin didn’t provide a new offer at the Alaska meeting. Stop making stuff up.
He in fact called it a starting point over a few agreements that were made. Unlike you I can provide a source:
I expect that today’s agreements will be the starting point, not only for the solution of the Ukrainian issue, but also will help us bring back business-like and pragmatic relations between Russia and the U.S.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/transcript-of-what-putin-trump-said-in-alaska/
So a few agreements and not an outline of demands.
Negotiations are first of all about understanding each other, not concessions. Your claim that not making concessions = not negotiating in good faith is, as I already said, utter nonsense.
I said that not making concessions would not be compromising.
Trump offered a compromise to both parties of freezing the current lines. Zelensky accepted the compromise while Putin did not. Putin also rejected a 30 day ceasefire earlier this year. Again I can provide that with a source:
https://www.newsweek.com/russia-rejects-trump-temporary-ceasefire-ukraine-2044077
I work from reality while you like many here try to idealize Putin. You want to view him as reasonable even though he again rejected both a temporary ceasefire and a compromise on the lines. He stuck to his same demands of last year which contradict his invasion speech of the war being about NATO. He makes no demands of Finland leaving NATO even though he plainly described the main cause of the war as NATO encroaching his borders even though Ukraine had not applied.
Maybe you believe that sticking to his demands from last year is his best move. That is fine but don’t make up fictional offers and then get upset when I ask for a source.
I’m not Russian and I’m no military planner… But just looking at a map and understanding history and geopolitics – – I can’t see Russia not taking Kharkhiv and not going through Odessa and connecting to Transnistra.
You’re looking at Russian imperial history and not politics.
Odessa backed Zelensky and not pro-Russian candidates. The majority does not want Russian rule.
Odessa would be a hostile city and naval invasions are extremely risky when the other side learns of the plan. Russia seems unable to keep secrets which means they would have to march across land or risk having their landing party drown or get gunned down like Gallipoli.
Let’s say they march all the way to Odessa. How long is that going to take? A few more years? Then what? Shell the city and all its monuments? The Russians are so far loath to take a city by urban fighting. They bring in artillery and shell any remaining defenders.
Well in any case they won’t have a few more years unless they can stop Ukraine from attacking their oil refineries. The math isn’t there. They can’t withstand weekly attacks.
Kharkiv and Odessa were both Russian cities and so have lots of ethnic Russians as well.
Ethnic Russian or Russian speaking does not mean support for Russia.
And of course just from a practical sense – you wouldn’t want a hostile Ukraine to have access to the Black Sea from Odessa
What difference would that make if they retained southern ports near Romania? What threats exactly are you talking about?
No. What I’m saying is that half of all NATO expenditures are covered by the USA.
That is actually misinformation that has been promoted by Trump.
The U.S. contributes about one-sixth of NATO’s military expenditures, not two-thirds, as claimed in social media posts.
https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/us-contributes-16-nato-annual-budget-not-two-thirds-2024-05-31/
If NATO is buying weapons, then the USA is funding that purchase.
That isn’t how NATO works. NATO has budget requirements for members but there isn’t one collective military budget. NATO members purchase weapons individually.
Donations to Ukraine have been voluntary as seen by Hungary’s resistance to contribute. Italy has also been stingy.
Critics of NATO imagine a top down USSR like structure. Even the Russians seem to assume that is how it works.
NATO is not a US/UK hierarchy with a single budget. It’s a defensive organization and the US is not in charge. That was proven when the US under Bush tried pushing NATO into Iraq. It was deemed an offensive war which is why he had to create the coalition of the willing.
The opposition between Trump (or the US) and their European lackeys is a sham. The real culprit behind the never ending aggression against Russia was always the US, whether under Trump, Obama or Obama 2 (Biden).
NATO is a US vehicle and occupation army in Europe and Europeans are all obeying their masters in Washington.
The pedophiles (Microm, twotierkeir and NATO’s boss) might despise Trump but they fear him and obey his orders.
We live in a sick sick world where the current dictator of the USA actually dictates where Hungary can buy its oil.
Again, the EU(SSR) is under total control of the US and their fanaticism towards Russia is dictated by Washington. It’s the old trick of “good cop, bad cop”.
Russian observers who say that these people are the scum of the planet are right. Vermins like Starmer, Micron or von der leyen want the death of Europeans. They have been busy since 2015 to flood-in millions of fake refugees to replace Europeans, terrorizing the populations they hate before everything. They then launched the covid fake pandemic with the same intents: terrorize, destroy, and exterminate their own populations.
They of course are pushing for global war because with any crisis they can extend their powers, stay in power and impose martial laws, while of course depopulating as they did with covid.
The west has been infiltrated and infested with fifth columnists who do not work for their countries but against them.
The names ‘great reset’, ‘agenda 2030’, ‘build back better’, ‘sustainable development goals’, all point towards the same agendas of depopulation, enslavement, total control of humanity by a clique of parasites using stooges like we have now as heads of “governments’ in the west.
They of course don’t fear nuclear war as they already have planned their protection and escape.
To stop this madness, they must be eliminated, them and their psychopathic servants in power.
Maybe Russia will help to eliminate these criminals.
Yeah I saw the BBC interview a Nigerian “pastor” saying he would welcome Trumps “help” to fight jihadists – if they partner with the government. Yeah strange since Trump is a big fan of the new leader of Syria who is a jihadist himself
Stop lying. We all saw in the 2014 coup the pro Russian people were violently attacked in Odessa by people bused in from other places to attack them. That’s also why the Zelensky government also took down the big statute of Catherine the Great to remove traces of Russian foundation of the city. Who are you trying to fool? This is not a CNN or Fox News comment section.
As to the Black Sea. Again – is this a joke? The whole problem started because NATO wanted to dislodge Russia from Crimea – which was agreed upon when Ukraine became independent of the Soviet Union to allow Russia to keep it as the main base of its Black Sea fleet. Ukraine uses Odessa to attack Crimea. Are you really serious in your questions?
I think it is Trump that keeps insisting that NATO is buying the weapons. That seems to be his primary promotional device for making the Ukraine War into the Trump Ukraine War.
So, I guess you’re saying that no one is funding the so-called “purchase” of US weapons that NATO then sends to Ukraine. (LOL)
I doubt that our MIC would agree to such a plan.
ROTFL — Again the media is getting it wrong and you are parroting their incorrect portrayal.
Trump is willing to have the U.S. MIC sell weapons to European member states. This makes sense. Arms dealers sell weapons for cash. It is hard to complain if Europe spends European money on American kit.
However, they have their own domestics constituencies. The concept of American Tomahawks died out within days to be replaced with a European purchase of European Gripen fighters.
It is all about making sure that America can break cleanly away from Europe’s Folly in Ukraine. It is Merz’s War. It is Macron’s War. It is Starmer’s War. The European troika gets to pick up 99%+ of the expense. Not American taxpayers. It is Europe’s war, not ours.
PEACE 😇
________
P.S. JJ and I agree on very little. You should take note of the fact that both of us are pointing out the same flaw in your understanding.
I doubt Putin would agree to such a scheme – Russians are dying too. Although, I think Trump originally seek friendship with Putin, but he is weakling, incapacitated by the neocons in his party.
Nothing but the truth…however the first oreshnik should hit MI6 headquarters.
Correct. He uses Jews to prop himself in power but he gets rid of them when they become disloyal to him.
That’s true in a sense because there is conflict of interest between private wealth and public service. But in Russia’s case, private wealth depends upon personal access to political power.
It’s not only Jews who have Israeli citizenship but most Russian billionaires have dual or triple citizenships in Western or non-Western countries. This is not a Jewish thing which so-called White Nationalists imagine Russian Oligarchs to be but a Russian tradition going back to the days of the Golden Horde when Russia was ruled by Mongols.
If you study Russian history, Russian politics resembles the Oriental despotism of the Mongol Khans. The Russian Boyars had to appease their Mongol Overlords in order to retain their landed wealth in exchange for political favors. They later switched their loyalties to the Muscovy Princes who then rebelled against the Mongol Khans. Ivan the Terrible persecuted most of the Boyars by creating his own coterie of Boyars loyal to him. This personalized system of Patron-Client relationships in Muscovy became the political model of Russia after the end of Mongol rule. In post-Soviet Russia, the capitalist Russian Oligarchs of today are the successors to the landowning Russian Boyars of the past.
Methinks you’re wrong because you view Putin from a Western point of view. Putin is not a Westerner but a Russian Slav who grew up during the Soviet Union. What he wants is not a “Westernized” Russia but a revival of the Russian Empire based on the political history of Tsarist Russia. His role model is Ivan the Terrible who established his imperialist rule based on the “Third Rome” ideology which seeks to establish the Russian Empire as the seat of power for Orthodox Christianity, succeeding the Roman and Byzantine Empires, respectively.
What left-wing intellectuals like Pete Escobar don’t understand is that while the “West” aka US-NATO is imperialist but so is Putin’s Russia. After all, before Ukraine, Putin invaded Chechnya by pulverizing Grozny and installing Ramzan Kadyrov as his client ruler of the Chechens. Chechnya had nothing to do with NATO expansionism unlike Ukraine but everything to do with Russian imperialism based on the Tsarist ideology of the Russian Empire as the “Third Rome” going back to the days of Ivan the Terrible. Dostoevsky was a big proponent of the “Third Rome” ideology in Tsarist Russia back then as is Dugin in Putin’s Russia today.
Putin didn’t provide a new offer at the Alaska meeting. Stop making stuff up.
I never said he did, not a word about “new” or specifically “Alaska” (though there were some new offers made in Alaska as well, not necessarily related to Ukraine). In fact, Alaska happened after Trump (through Witkoff) made a proposal on Ukraine, which Putin wanted to discuss. What I did say is that Putin made a sincere offer of cooperation, including but not limited to Ukraine, after Trump came to office. (Btw one does not need to idealize Putin to say that).
I’ve said you’re being sincere; I’m not so sure of it now: looks like you just want to “win” in a battle of words, which I’m not interested in. In any case, all the best to you.
Like with Venezuela, Trump’s after Nigeria’s oil. He already controls Syria’s oil fields.

Of course
The opposition between Trump (or the US) and their European lackeys is a sham. The real culprit behind the never ending aggression against Russia was always the US, whether under Trump, Obama or Obama 2 (Biden).
Well the UN looked into the matter and voted that Putin’s annexation of Crime was illegal and one of his agents has since spoken out on it being a Russian operation that involved murder. The UN voted Russia as the principle aggressor and even China did not vote on the side of Russia.
Here is Putin in 2008 stating that Crimea belongs to Ukraine:
https://www.rferl.org/a/putin-crimea-ukraine/26942862.html
You can try to make excuses for an ex-KGB mass murderer but that doesn’t mean most people will believe them. Especially not when Putin is in multiple interviews contradicting his own lines of bullshit.
We live in a sick sick world where the current dictator of the USA actually dictates where Hungary can buy its oil.
It’s a sick world when resentment of ruling powers leads White men to idealize a totalitarian state led by a 5’1 dwarf who built a billion dollar mansion when 20% of his country uses an outhouse.
The desperation for a decent political leader has led Whites to dip into their imagination and leave Roman/Greek reason behind. We saw this early in the war where I and a few others were called Jews for simply pointing out Russia’s Slavic demographic decline. They do however have a growing Muslim population that based on current trends will become the majority. Such demographic talk ruined the fantasy of Russia being some a White refuge. I had posters in Anglin’s threads that were furious over me pointing out Russia’s abortion rates and how they led Europe in that area under Putin. They were interested in fantasy and not reality. Basic demographic facts enraged them. Very similar to how liberals get enraged over pointing out simple facts about Black crime. In both cases were can see how their true beliefs do not hold up in an open forum.
Whites are encumbered as it is with enough fantasy. We don’t need more of it. If both the West and Russia have awful leadership then that is where we are at in history. Trying to believe that Putin is some savior or model leader is the same type of wishful thinking the establishment engages in. We need more White men to face reality as it is and not as they want it to be. If you are actually getting upset over demographic facts then your beliefs are the problem. The problem is not with the poster that is basically quoting an encyclopedia. The Russian government has in fact stopped releasing fertility statistics. Putin is embarrassed and has adopted the left-wing tactic of simply suppressing the data.
Disgusting UkroNazi scum! They kill a father and son and their dog.

Not so simple. Chechnya is and has been part of RF (invaded???) and never held the status of the 15 Soviet Republics that became independent. Chechnya is land-lock region within the RF unable to function as a sovereign enemy. Catalans have better chance.
They were all penniless Soviet citizens…became rich from nepotism of American Jewish lobby. Actually, the Ukraine war is pushed by the Western greedy oligarchs that invested in Ukraine.
Not so simple. Chechnya is and has been part of RF (invaded???) and never held the status of the 15 Soviet Republics that became independent. Chechnya is land-lock region within the RF unable to function as a sovereign enemy.
So why exactly couldn’t they be sovereign? They share a border with Georgia so they are not locked within Russia. In any case there are nations like Lesotho that are completely surrounded by another country. They seem to exist just fine.
Do explain why Putin decreed that the DPR should be independent but not Chechnya.
Thank you @showmethereal, I wouldn’t have said it better myself.
The anglo-zionist anti Russian propaganda is full of lies and omissions. Crimea has always been Russian. Most parts of Eastern “Ukraine” were given by Lenin because “the Ukraine” (which means the outskirts of Russia) was such a good Bolshevik pupil…. Ethnic Russian and speakers always populated these areas.
Many parts of Ukraine are claimed by Poland, Romania, Hungary, etc…
The dwarf Jewish dictator of Ukraine has sold out this country to the worst possible parasites, including Jewish behemoth vulture fund Blackrock.
Actually, as they feed us with images of war and hatred, the big powers are grabbing peaces of Ukraine every single day, whether it’s Russia, the US, or the EU.
All that thanks to their puppet Zelensky.
I always wondered why Ukrainians would vote for a serie Z comedian who played the piano with his penis dressed as drag queen.
You’ve got to be really stupid to vote for that. And now they pay with their lives.
Same problem with the goons who voted Starmer, Carney, Merz or Macron, what is wrong with them?
Masochism? Bottomless stupidity?
In any case, some people at the top have a vested interest to prolong this war forever and we should find out why.
I always wondered why Ukrainians would vote for a serie Z comedian who played the piano with his penis dressed as drag queen.
Well for starters they voted for him over the pro-NATO candidate Pedro Poroshenko. A point never made by Putin defenders as they dishonestly depict Ukraine as nearly joining NATO in 2022. Well here in observable reality Zelensky stuck to his campaign promise and did not initiative the required referendum to join. Which means they had not initiated what is basically the pre-process that happens before the application. Finland however applied and was quickly accepted. This makes it all the more difficult for Putin defenders as they have a hard time explaining why Ukraine did not join from 2014-2022.
You’ve got to be really stupid to vote for that. And now they pay with their lives.
What are Russians dying for? What do working class Russian families gain from this war?
Did you catch that US oil company profits are up as a result of the sanctions?
So US corporations profit while Russian families get ……. ????
In any case, some people at the top have a vested interest to prolong this war forever and we should find out why.
People at the top are cashing out while former DPR residents are watching Pokrovsk shelled into a dirt pile. That was once a pro-Russian city.
Crimea has always been Russian
That’s a false Kremlin talking point.
It was held longer by the Turks and they agreed with the UN that it belongs to Ukraine.
Here is Putin in 2008 stating the same
https://www.rferl.org/a/putin-crimea-ukraine/26942862.html
So, I guess you’re saying that no one is funding the so-called “purchase” of US weapons that NATO then sends to Ukraine. (LOL)
No that is not what I am saying. I am pointing out that NATO does not have a single military budget. It is a defensive alliance of states where each member has military spending requirements.
Weapons obviously have funding behind them.
NATO states can buy weapons from the US and send them to Ukraine. Non-NATO states can do the same.
Russia buys weapons from North Korea. So everyone is getting weapons from someone else.
US defense companies are profiting from this war while Russian children lose their fathers.
Take it up with the dwarf in the Kremlin if you don’t like to see the US military industrial complex profit from this war. That is the reality even if numerous posters here want to believe that Putin is somehow playing 4D chess against the US. There are certainly Western states that stand to lose economically like Germany but the US is not one of them. Most of the US aid to Ukraine is filled with kickbacks. It’s the US government writing checks to US manufacturing companies. That is how under Biden they got Republicans in the House to support it. This war will make a profit for the US. HIMARs is actually backordered over 10 years. The Patriot missile system is also backordered. The US defense industry is having their dreams come true thanks to Putin’s invasion. But some here can’t handle that reality and instead choose a fantasy of Putin playing all the Anglo states while Slavs kill each other in trenches.
Of course. That’s why the Neocons carried out a textbook provocation operation to get a largely peaceful Russian Federation to defend its people in Eastern Ukraine.
Nonetheless, you’ve answered every question except the basic one:
Who is paying for the weapons that go to the Green Slug in Kiev?
Trump says NATO. Parroting the Deep State, you say not. I say it’s now a Trump War that the US taxpayer continues to fund. Trump can go on saying “It’s not my war. It’s Bidens war. It would never have started, etc.” That’s all.
You can throttle back on the Russophobia for my sake. I’m a Russophile and proud of it.
Your propaganda doesn’t work here, @John Johnson
Crimea has always been Russian and most of Ukraine as well.
Open a history book son of john, Kievan Rus, rings any bells?
Most of Ukraine was given by Bolshevik Jew Lenin for rewarding them for their faithfulness to the party. It was always Russia.
And yes you have to be an idiot to vote for a jewish low life actor who plays the piano with his dick . Ukrainians have never been the brightest candles on the cake and their country was and is the most corrupt in Europe.
Russians approve of Putin at the rate of 75 to 80%. How much is it for your little jewish dictator ? 12% approval rate?
How much is it for Trump? 40% by now?
Macron: 11%
Starmer: same
Russians are dying to keep their country free from invasion and destruction by those who already invaded and destroyed western Europe (the Jewnited States).
Ukrainians are dying for Blackrock and are living under a dictatorship they never had before, thanks to the ZOG countries behind the 2014 coup.
They must really regret to have been party of the 2014 coup.
They lost not only territory, but resources, lands, infrastructures, minerlas, everything sold out by their midget dictator to his Jewish friends.
I see them in many European countries, men fleeing conscription, and many of them with big mercedes getting free food, homes, and social welfare while Europeans are getting poorer by the day thanks to scum who wnat to wage war against Russia.
In the mean time, the Jews in occupied Palestine are perpetrated a genocide and keep doing it after violating countless treaties and nobody goes after them exept Yemen.
Same funders, same people behind both wars.
Imagine if Putin had done 1% of what the zionists do in Palestine?
So, please, spare us your BS and NATO propaganda.
In the late 19th century, Chechnya was invaded by Tsarist Russia and then later incorporated into the Soviet Union. Following the collapse of the USSR in 1991, Chechnya declared independence which was opposed by Russia. So Yeltsin sent in the Russian army to fight the First Chechen War of 1994–1996 which Russia then lost to Chechnya.
Following the end of First Chechen War of 1994–1996, the Russia–Chechnya Peace Treaty of 1997 was signed by the president of Russia Boris Yeltsin and the newly elected president of Chechnya Aslan Maskhadov on 12 May 1997, in Moscow. The document was called the “Peace Treaty and Principles of Inter-relations” wherein Russia and Chechnya had agreed to abjure forever the use of force or threat of force in resolving disputed issues, and to build bilateral relations “on the generally recognized principles and norms of international law.”
But that “peace” treaty didn’t last long as the Second Chechen War broke out in Chechnya and the border regions of the North Caucasus between the Russian Federation and the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, from August 1999 to April 2009. This time, Putin didn’t take any chances of Russia losing to Chechnya by pulverizing its capital, Grozny, into submission and installing Ramzan Kadyrov as its puppet ruler.
JJ needs a reality check from Larry Johnson. Larry humourously says that to the West reality is just Russian propaganda, whether it be that men can’t be women or that the Ukrainians are encircled in Pokrovsk.
He lists numerous realities about tank, drone and artillery shell production, hypersonic missiles, missiles powered by miniture nuclear reactors, etc. where NATO is nowhere to be found.
Your propaganda doesn’t work here, @John Johnson
Propaganda? Here is Putin stating that Crimea unequivocally belongs to Ukraine:
https://www.rferl.org/a/putin-crimea-ukraine/26942862.html
Here is the 100-10 UN vote on Crimea that ruled it belongs to Ukraine.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly_Resolution_68/262
You are taking a fringe position that Putin contradicted on video.
He of course later changed his mind but this isn’t totalitarian Russia and we can point out his bullshit.
Crimea has always been Russian and most of Ukraine as well.
Open a history book son of john, Kievan Rus, rings any bells?
Much of Germany once belonged to Poland. Lines change.
But sure we can look at the history of Crimea:
Crimean Khanate 1441 – 1783 (Turkish)
Russian Empire 1783 – 1917
Ukraine SSR 1954-1994
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Crimea
The Turks held it longer than Russia and they recognize it as belonging to Ukraine.
Thus if even if you ignore the UN ruling and define Crimea as belonging to whomever held it the longest that would be Turkey and they defer ownership to Ukraine.
They must really regret to have been party of the 2014 coup.
Do explain how removing a corrupt president by vote is a coup.
Who is the UN to decide on what belongs to whom? The UN ruled that Palestine belongs to Jewish land thieves. People, like you, agree with the UN when it rules in their favour, or in agreement with their view as in your case, but not when it does not.
JJ needs a reality check from Larry Johnson.
The pro-Putin White guy in a Hawaiian shirt who rants at a webcam. What a reliable source. You and others make a strange assumption that a White guy ranting into a webcam is somehow credible because it isn’t the MSM. The same guy who told us that there were no North Koreans in Russia and was practically throwing chairs over it. Sure I can also source him:
Larry Johnson: The Ukrainian Army Has Been Defeated. What’s Left Is Mop-Up (2022)
https://sonar21.com/the-ukrainian-army-has-been-defeated-whats-left-is-mop-up/
In your video he seems impressed that Russia turned the pro-Russian Bakhmut into rubble. What an accomplishment. Russia started with a 1:8 infantry advantage and the world’s largest tank supply.
He lists numerous realities about tank, drone and artillery shell production, hypersonic missiles, missiles powered by miniture nuclear reactors, etc. where NATO is nowhere to be found.
Maybe someone can ask him a real question like how a nuclear powered missile makes any difference if there is no first strike advantage. An actual interview instead of a pro-Russian woman just nodding her head while he blabs.
But it is true that Russia is deploying new weapons systems. Have a look at the porcupine tank
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4Xl45auBTY
I think video from the front is more telling than an ex-CIA worker who has been pro-Putin from day one.
Also viewed from the front is the new Russian turtle behemoth:
Maybe Larry Johnson can comment on videos filmed by drones instead of just ranting from his “inside sources” that we are supposed to trust.
Who is the UN to decide on what belongs to whom? The UN ruled that Palestine belongs to Jewish land thieves. People, like you, agree with the UN when it rules in their favour, or in agreement with their view as in your case, but not when it does not.
I’ve supported every UN resolution on Israel. I said I supported 67 borders before this glorious 2.5 week special operation started. I completely opposed Trump signing US recognition of Golan and I completely opposed Golan 2 which in part resulted from Putin conspiring against Assad. That is in my history here.
The global default position is against both Israel and Russia and that is reflected in UN votes.
Do you really have a hard time wrapping your brain around someone here having the global default outlook?
Why don’t you show everyone my most pro-Israel statement.
Of course you can’t because you are stuck in a baseless US vs THEM dichotomy where you have decided that anyone who opposes Russia must fit neatly into a box to assuage your precious assumptions. You don’t care about what people actually say and just tell yourself he must be da Juden so you can help yourself feel better about a Russian invasion where Orthodox Slavs kill each other while the US defense industry profits.
I’m the global default. You got that? You want sources and polls on that? The world in 2022 woke to see Putin launching cruise missiles at downtown Kiev. An apartment building exploded on CCTC camera. That isn’t how you win global favor to your cause.
As a reminder here is your hero Putin praising the Jews:
https://www.rt.com/russia/598704-putin-jewish-salvation-day/
I live in reality while you live in a fantasy world where Putin is on your side. He would imprison half the posters here for antisemitism. In fact an American White nationalist was kicked out of Russia for antisemitism.
I don’t care about Larry, but I could listen to Rachel interviewing Netanyahu.
My brain would tune out The Nutsu, but Rachel’s melodic voice, and those eyes…..
Melts a man’s heart.
Ok.
The Ukrainian Constitution (as of 2014) does have a procedure for impeaching a president, but it is very strict and was not fully followed in Yanukovych’s removal.
Specifically:
• Article 111 of the Ukrainian Constitution allows for presidential impeachment for treason or other crimes.
• The process requires:
1. A special investigative commission to examine allegations.
2. A conclusion by the Constitutional Court.
3. A vote in parliament with a two-thirds majority (at least 338 of 450 deputies).
In Yanukovych’s case:
• The parliament declared him unable to fulfill his duties and voted for removal with 328 votes— short of the two-thirds required.
• There was no investigative commission or Constitutional Court ruling.
So legally, the proper constitutional impeachment procedure was not followed. This is why some describe it as extralegal or a de facto “coup,” even though it had popular support.
The parliamentarians did not even claim to have followed the impeachment procedure, which was only one of four possible mechanisms in the constitution but would have entailed a protracted process. The much simpler resignation option was pursued instead because it was very broadly defined and allowed the Rada to make a determination based on Yanukovych’s conduct. I have explained this topic in great detail within a thread following an article Marked for Death by a Reckless America? that appeared on September 14, 2025.
Brilliant. You really pulled a lot of threads together. This was basically my opinion, but you filled it out beautifully.
Russia does keep making that promise – to Syria, to Iran, etc – but never delivers. If those countries want advanced anti-aircraft missiles they will have to build them themselves or buy from another source.
It’s doubtful if Russia will be a better ally to Venezuela.
This statement is misleading. Here’s why:
1. Resignation wasn’t “pursued”: Yanukovych never formally resigned. There was no letter of resignation or official voluntary step.
2. “Broadly defined” is misleading legally: The Rada didn’t rely on a broadly defined resignation clause; they invoked a constitutional provision for incapacity to perform duties (Article 108) as a workaround, not resignation.
3. Rada’s determination was reactive, not based on resignation: It was based on Yanukovych’s abandonment of office and inability to govern, not a voluntary step he took.
Fleeing Kiev or being absent is not explicitly a resignation or automatic disqualification under the Constitution, so the Rada’s declaration of incapacity bypassed this process. Legally, impeachment would have been the correct path to maintain strict constitutional legitimacy.
Bottom line: The Ukrainian parliament unscrupulously avoided the formal impeachment procedure, which is lengthy and complex, and instead declared Yanukovych unable to fulfill his duties after he fled Kiev. In doing so, the Rada deceptively misrepresented his flight as a de facto resignation, allowing them to remove him quickly despite the absence of any formal resignation. Totally unconstitutional.
More than 5,000 Ukrainian soldiers surrendered in Mirnograd in just a few days, but you wouldn’t know it reading the Western MSM.
https://www.pronews.gr/amyna-asfaleia/mirnogkrant-pano-apo-5-000-oukranoi-exoun-paradothei-tis-teleytaies-imeres/
You have ignored the issue that Yanukovych had purportedly already expressed his oral resignation privately to the speaker of parliament, but then later attempted to rescind it when he thought he was in a safe environment while fleeing into exile. However, his action to abandon his position was consistent with an intent to resign. This is why the constitutionally stipulated issue of resignation became relevant. Yet it focused only under which specific circumstance his resignation would take effect, namely a formal declaration before the Rada. Since this procedure would have potentially subjected him to immediate arrest, based on his loss of immunity, he obviously wanted to avoid publicly resigning under those official circumstances; hence the parliament was forced to officially complete this process on his behalf without having to follow an impeachment process. This was clearly within the legitimate scope of the parliament under those circumstances. Claiming that this parliamentary maneuver somehow constituted a Putsch, a term that properly describes what Putin attempted eight years later, in February 2022 through his failed “special military operation“, is simply a fabrication that appeals to the proverbial useful idiots.
Ignored? How can I ignore something that you yourself admit was “purportedly” made? So, he conveniently tendered his resignation orally and not in writing? lol, how convenient!
Here’s the issue:
The Constitution does not specify that the resignation must be hand-delivered to the parliamentary speaker.
What matters legally is:
1. It is a written declaration of resignation,
2. It is formally submitted to the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada,
“Formally submitted” could, in principle, include delivery by courier, email, or other reliable means, as long as it is officially received and recorded by the parliament.
Bottom line: Hand delivery is not required; the key requirement is that the resignation is in writing and officially submitted to the parliamentary chair.
So, with that little distraction dispensed with, let’s return to the heart of the matter.
The Rada could have adhered to the Constitution by initiating full impeachment proceedings with the parliamentary chair acting as interim president.
Because the Rada bypassed the constitutional impeachment process, even though Yanukovych had effectively abandoned the capital:
• The action was unconstitutional — it violated the letter of Ukraine’s Constitution.
• It was driven by political expedience rather than unavoidable necessity.
• From a strictly legalistic standpoint, it resembled a de facto seizure of power, which is why some analysts and commentators describe it as a parliamentary coup or de facto coup, even if it lacked violence or classic military involvement.
Bottom line: Legally, it was unconstitutional; politically, it was expedient; and for many observers, that combination qualifies as a de facto coup.
The constitution only specified when the resignation becomes effective, which leaves open the nature of the actual process, for instance a recorded declaration, or a protracted drama play. Therefore the parliament constitutionally made a determination to close this gap, based on the unusual circumstances. The parliament was not obliged to follow a different and more complex constitutional procedure, as you insist, when a more expedient one was sufficient yet also legitimate.
Most of those “observers” you alluded to are likely Russian. Perhaps you can name another country, aside from Russia, whose representative has formally disputed the legitimacy of the Ukrainian government formed in February 2014; if so, you should do so to help me make my point, but I can tell you now that an AI query says the following about another one of Ukraine’s northern neighbors:
“Belarus, under President Alexander Lukashenko, recognized the new Ukrainian government in 2014 after the Euromaidan Revolution. Lukashenko formally acknowledged the legitimacy of the post-Euromaidan authorities and even hosted the acting Ukrainian President, Oleksandr Turchynov, in Minsk. ”
In reality, only a few obsessive fanatics such as you still try to make the case that the parliamentary procedure was actually a coup. Here is a report from the summer of 2014 about the position in Belarus:
“At the end of February, shortly before Russia annexed Crimea, Lukashenko spoke out in support of Ukraine’s territorial integrity. In contrast to Moscow, he immediately recognized the new, Western-leaning leadership in Kyiv.
And in March, Lukashenko assured Ukraine’s interim president at the time, Oleksander Turchynov, that Kyiv did not have to fear a Russian invasion from Belarusian soil. The Belarusian leader also congratulated Petro Poroshenko after he won Ukraine’s presidential elections in May. Poroshenko invited Lukashenko to his inauguration ceremony.”
https://www.dw.com/en/belarus-hosts-ukraine-talks-strikes-neutral-position-between-moscow-and-kyiv/a-17878883
Obviously, nearly eight years later Putin must have exerted considerable pressure upon Lukashenko to allow so many Russian troops into his country, from where he staged Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in connection with the failed military coup.
This statement is not accurate as a constitutional/legal justification. It reflects a political or pragmatic interpretation rather than a strictly constitutional one. The Rada’s action was extra-constitutional but widely treated as legitimate de facto due to Yanukovych fleeing the country.
Several countries and international actors expressed concerns or refused to recognize the extra-constitutional way in which Ukraine’s parliament (the Verkhovna Rada) removed President Viktor Yanukovych from office in February 2014.
• Some non-Western countries (such as China and several post-Soviet states including Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan) echoed similar caution, stressing the need for a lawful and constitutional transition of power.
Here’s a timeline showing how Lukashenko’s position toward the Kiev authorities evolved after February 2014:
1. Feb–Apr 2014 – Rejection and criticism
• Described Yanukovych’s ouster as an illegal, unconstitutional coup.
• Refused to recognize Turchynov’s interim government formally.
• Warned that such events could set a dangerous precedent for post-Soviet states.
2. Mid–2014 – Pragmatic engagement begins
• Belarus maintained economic and trade relations with Ukraine.
• Engaged in limited diplomatic contacts with Kiev while still emphasizing legal norms.
3. 2015–2019 – De facto recognition
• Lukashenko met with Ukrainian leaders, including Petro Poroshenko, in Minsk and in bilateral settings.
• Participated in Minsk negotiations (Minsk I & II agreements) on the Donbas conflict, signaling acceptance of the Kiev government as a negotiation partner.
• Continued rhetoric sometimes framed events of 2014 as a coup, but in practice he treated the government as legitimate for diplomacy and regional stability.
4. 2020–2021 – Stability and pragmatic continuity
• Relations remained functional, mostly focused on trade, security, and regional coordination, without revisiting the constitutional debate over Yanukovych’s removal.
So, Lukashenko shifted from outright rejection to pragmatic, de facto recognition of the Kiev authorities, balancing his constitutionalist rhetoric with the realities of diplomacy and regional stability.
A dubious statement:
Perhaps your interpretation of this term is too restrictive, under the tacit presumption that the constitution is so comprehensive as to prescribe how to deal with any situation, which was not the case. I have alluded to this topic in a prior comment, a few weeks ago, before which I restated the specific language of the constitution in force at that time, as it pertained to the topic of resignation, and then pointed out that some people with insufficient logical reasoning skills might derive false conclusions from the translated passage:
“The resignation of the President of Ukraine enters into force from the moment he or she personally announces the statement of resignation at a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.”
https://www.unz.com/runz/marked-for-death-by-a-reckless-america/?showcomments#comment-7297825
The parliament had the constitutional authority to resolve the ambiguities that arose from the attempt by Yanukovych to exploit the lack of specific legal guidelines on this issue. The members were able to cite other parts of the constitution that gave them that authority. The parliament stated indisputable facts, which are synonymous with a formal act of resignation: He had abandoned his constitutional duties. This was evident to all because he had left his residence, along with his entourage and some political cronies. Nonetheless, 36 deputies of Yanukovych’s own Party voted for the measure to formally remove him.
It is sheer hypocrisy to concede unconstitutional and subversive behavior on the part of an odious and corrupt thug while endlessly berating the parliament for having followed the constitution in a more expedient and reasonable manner rather than having indulged in a protracted and unworkable procedure, which could have entailed his arrest and subsequent detention during an impeachment process. The parliament had done him a favor by having allowed him to flee instead, because it had already been obvious months before that he could not have won the early elections that he had consented to on the previous day.
If you are not a staunch totalitarian bewailing this criminal leader’s voluntary abdication of power then perhaps you just lack the fortitude to admit that you were misled by the persistent Russian propaganda about a coup orchestrated by Nuland and now prefer to staunchly double down on this nonsense – one of the last remaining holdouts – by clinging to contrived yet essentially ridiculous pseudo-judicial rationalizations.
A Mohammedan has spoken! Who is urging you to warship a camel shepherd and his 100 wives.
All this doesn’t matter…the corrupt deputies were under the criminal interference from an evil empire across the ocean. The one, that has untreatable disease, and is now working on the Venezuela’s destruction. They even stated “F*ck the EU”.
This statement is plagiarized, to a letter, from a story on American oligarchs.
A complete idiocy…Putin was resolute in expelling Jewish oligarchs and restoring the energy ownership in Russia before, and now has no real choice. Is Khodorkovsky back in Russia?
When stripped of euphemism, the Verkhovna Rada chose expediency over constitutional fidelity. They bypassed the explicit impeachment provisions because they wanted immediate political resolution and international recognition of a new government.
The facts:
• The constitutional path existed, through Articles 111 and 112.
• It was not followed.
• The justification (“abandonment,” “vacancy,” “necessity”) was post-hoc rationalization for a political decision to consolidate power quickly.
So in blunt terms:
The Rada acted unconstitutionally for political expediency, and the action was retroactively legitimized by subsequent elections and Western recognition, not by constitutional procedure.
By way of follow-up, allow me use a simple analogy to emphasize my point.
If a sitting president had dropped dead from a heart attack, the parliament would have been lambasted if they hadn’t followed constitutional procedure.
If we imagine a sitting president dying suddenly, the Constitution provides a clear procedure: Article 112 would immediately transfer authority to the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada as Acting President until an election could be held.
No one would presume to say, “He’s dead, so we’re declaring the office vacant by resolution.” The law itself dictates what happens next.
Now, in Yanukovych’s case, he hadn’t died — he had fled and ceased performing his duties, creating a de facto vacuum but not the conditions defined in Articles 109–112 for ending a presidency.
By choosing to declare the presidency vacant rather than follow the existing constitutional mechanism for succession, the Rada effectively invented a new legal basis for removal — something they would never have done if the same vacancy had been caused by death or incapacitation.
So, had parliament taken such liberties after a president’s death, it would have been roundly condemned as an unconstitutional usurpation. The only reason it was tolerated in 2014 was the political context: chaos, foreign pressure, and the urgent need to stabilize authority.
Bottom line: If death wouldn’t justify bypassing the constitution, flight shouldn’t have either.
Why did the parliament brazenly violate constitutional procedure by failing to initiate impeachment proceedings?
The parliament did this because it lacked the number of votes to do it legally. They needed three-quarters of the 450 MPs to remove the president and they were nowhere near that threshold. Instead, it chose a politically expedient workaround, framing it as a recognition of “abandonment” rather than a formal removal — a move that was unconstitutional in procedure, but effective in achieving power transition.
In your response you again resorted to the false notion that following an impeachment procedure was paramount and necessary. Instead of conceding that impeachment was only one of four possibilities cited in the constitution, as can easily be verified, you prefer to go around in a circle, pretending that the option the parliament took was somehow subsidiary simply because the resignation process was not explicitly defined, so that the parliament was obliged to insinuate itself by following other constitutional guidelines.
This is what they did; the authority was transferred to the speaker of parliament, the parliament was then authorized to vote for Yatsenyuk, and Poroshenko was elected by the majority of the population a few weeks thereafter.
This was a key guideline under the unusual circumstances and rightfully took priority. Implementing this approach in a constitutional manner, because the resignation option was ill defined, demonstrated that an adaptive and creative process won over getting bogged down in a potential stalemate.
As I said, these proceedings were unnecessary. Why do something the hard way when there is a more simple and path to reflect the will of the people? Guess what: The Ukrainian parliament was not obliged to satisfy such individuals as Putin and his apologists. It’s really funny that Putin’s admirers and worshipers have no problems with his attempted military coup and killing hundreds of thousands of people but whine endlessly – even more than a decade later – that a clever parliamentary maneuver was somehow an American coup that justified nearly four years of mass murder. It’s the ultimate clown world you inhabit.
It was paramount and necessary. Here’s why:
When the Rada declared Yanukovych removed from office “for abandoning his duties,” it acted outside the constitutional framework. No article authorizes removal on that basis.
There’s really no way around that conclusion when applying the Ukrainian Constitution as written:
* Articles 109–111 provide only one legal mechanism for removing a sitting president: impeachment.
* Article 110 allows voluntary resignation, which didn’t happen.
* Article 112 lets the Speaker assume duties only once the presidency is formally vacant — which it wasn’t.
So, the move was unconstitutional. The Rada chose political expediency and international optics over legal orthodoxy. And that’s why, to this day, the 2014 transfer of power remains constitutionally contestable, even though it’s widely accepted politically.
Hence, constitutionally and procedurally speaking, holding an impeachment vote and recording the results would have been the cleanest course of action.
Here’s why:
1. Hold the impeachment vote anyway (Articles 109–111).
• Even knowing it would fail, the Rada would have demonstrated that it followed the only legitimate removal process available.
• This would have created an official record that impeachment was attempted but insufficiently supported.
2. After the failed vote, call for early elections.
• They couldn’t legally remove Yanukovych, but they could justify calling early elections under Article 83 on the grounds of a paralyzed government and the president’s disappearance.
• The Speaker of the Rada could then act as interim head of state de facto, under Article 112, while elections were organized.
That sequence — impeachment vote → record failure → call elections — would have balanced constitutional fidelity with political necessity, thereby mitigating the perception of a coup.
In other words, even if the vote failed, taking it was the only constitutionally honest first step before moving to elections.
But, here’s the political reality that shaped their actions:
If the Rada had gone through with the impeachment vote and failed, it would have been recorded in history that Yanukovych remained the lawful president, however absent he was. Any new president elected afterward could be accused of deriving authority from an unconstitutional process, especially by Russia or pro-Yanukovych factions.
By declaring that Yanukovych had “abandoned his duties” and calling elections immediately, the Rada tried to short-circuit that legitimacy problem — essentially rewriting the narrative so that power was restored to the people rather than seized procedurally.
So, they sacrificed strict constitutional purity in favor of political legitimacy and stability, hoping that a rapid, internationally recognized election would close the issue. It was a pragmatic but an undeniably unconstitutional choice.
You must be referring to a different version of the Ukrainian constitution, hence your premises are incorrect. My explanation was based on the articles 108 and 109, linked to in the version below:
https://rm.coe.int/constitution-of-ukraine/168071f58b
Yanukovych had already agreed to early elections the day before (which everyone, including Putin – as he told Carlson in his interview – knew he could not win, and as was already known beforehand, in the summer of 2013, if he would not sign the proposed agreement with the European Union), so the parliament merely set the specific election date.
As you can see, the specifics of a resignation were poorly defined, so it was incumbent upon the parliament to make an appropriate finding that corresponded with his documented actions (not what he may have theatrically claimed), which clearly indicated that intent. The parliament could have declared him mentally incompetent (a health issue that would also have warranted his removal), but that would also have been more cumbersome.
ADDENDUM:
With regard to the issues under discussion (especially Article 108 and 109), the amended Ukrainian constitution of 2004, which was invoked in February 2014, retains the same text:
https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Ukraine_2004
Unfortunately, none of this justifies the unconstitutional actions taken by the Ukrainian parliament. Even if Yanukovych had lost popular support, agreed to early elections, or fled the country, the Ukrainian parliament was still bound by the constitution.
Key points:
1. Removal of a president: The Ukrainian Constitution requires impeachment procedures with defined steps, including a parliamentary investigation and a supermajority vote. Simply declaring him removed without following those procedures was unconstitutional.
2. Setting an election date: While scheduling elections can be part of crisis management, doing so in a context where the presidency had not been legally vacated raises legal questions.
3. Public sentiment or political expediency: Widespread protests or anticipated election outcomes cannot override constitutional rules. Popular dissatisfaction or predictions about election results do not give parliament the legal authority to bypass formal procedures.
In short, the political context may explain why parliament acted, but it does not legally justify unconstitutional actions.
Under the 1996/2010 constitution (the version in effect at the time), the February 2014 parliamentary actions were blatantly unconstitutional. Under the 2004 amendments, parliament might have had slightly more leverage, but even then, proper impeachment and vacancy rules still applied.
Bottom line: The Rada’s actions were unconstitutional, regardless of which of these two versions of the constitution was in effect at the time.
Your selective characterization of the parliamentary action as “unconstitutional” has been widely contested. You continue to insist that the parliament was somehow required to follow the most difficult of different options that were available to it, yet it was not against the constitution for it to have pursued the most expedient method to legislatively resolve the problem it was confronted with in the manner it chose. Since this issue was a matter for the Ukrainian government to decide upon, your obsession about this procedural choice, ten years after the fact and unrelated to any US machinations, reflects a chauvinistic attitude, according to which you would want to deny Ukrainian self-determination and insist that Putin should be allowed to decide Ukrainian policy matters instead, by imposing the corrupt rule of an odious thug upon the population after the people had finally gotten rid of him through legitimate parliamentary maneuvers. It is really telling how you would still harp on about this while remaining entirely uncritical about Putin violating the international laws, associated with Russia’s membership in the United Nations, through an ongoing war of aggression.
Why not allow the people of Ukraine the opportunity to remove this “odious thug” from office by conventional means via the ballot, which was set to take place a year later?
Just like Danzig in WW2, Putin was put into the unenviable position of either defending the Russian population of the Donbas region or allowing them to be slaughtered on a regular basis.
The old strategy of provocation and revenge was being deployed. When the “good guys” move in to purportedly protect the lives of innocent people, it’s conveniently defended under the Responsibility to Protect moniker. When the “bad guys” do it, it’s condemned as a blatant violation of international law.
And then people like you come along and defend this hypocrisy clasping pearls exclaiming “how do you!” lol.
You have alluded to a regional conflict in eastern Ukraine that Putin had initiated in 2014 through Russian support for militia groups, also known as guerrilla fighters or terrorists. Your explanation is another cheap canard that was invoked ex-post-facto to rationalize the war. Russia never even applied to the United Nations to invoke the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) provision because Lavrov could not make a credible case. Even if there had been a justification, any subsequent R2P operations would have been limited to the eastern region and not have entailed regular attacks against the civilian populations (war crimes) in Kiev, Kharkiv, Odessa, L’viv, and elsewhere. It is obvious to all but the most deluded that Putin intended to take over the entire country of Ukraine. It was clear after three days, in February 2022, that he had failed in that endeavor; at that point Russia lost the war and thus initiated implied threats of nuclear escalation.
Some humour from Martyanov:
Speaking of cheap canards…
The hypocrites cry out “we expect everyone to adhere to the rules-based international order” (after violating every rule in the book to remake the ME to make the jungle a little safer for the villa) and instead their MO for regime change is simple and straightforward:
“We must invent dangers and to do this we must adopt the strategy of provocation and revenge.”

The final appeal by those who cannot justify Russia’s war against Ukraine – due to the inherent contradictions or inconsistencies of their excuses – and have thus already lost the debate, is to resort to prior misbehavior of other governments and simply insinuate that this permits Russia to violently exert its destructive and chauvinist attitudes against its neighbors:
Please get back to us with this stale rationale once the USA will have launched an aggressive and protracted war against Canada or Mexico.
Listen, at this late stage of the game it has become abundantly clear as to how the “provoke and retaliate” game is played to bring about regime change.
That Nuland (real name Nudelman) publicly disclosed jewish supremacy’s backing of the coup with an injection of $5 billion and saying eff the EU’s reservations about trampling on the legalities of the political process should be sufficient evidence for any person of good faith to accept that what went down in the Ukraine was a form of blatant gangsterism.

Excerpts from The Maidan Massacre Trial and Investigation Revelations: Implications for the Ukraine-Russia War and Relations:
Even if the following account were true, it did not change what happened subsequently:
If that was the purportedly stated purpose for their involvement, then their participation did not achieve the intended outcome. Actually it was Yanukovych who had been resisting an agreement for many weeks, not the protesters, so whatever these sniper groups were allegedly told is already questionable. However, the fact is that Yanukovych actually did sign an agreement with the three parliamentary opposition leaders in a deal brokered by European diplomats from Germany, France, and Poland, along with an observer from Russia, at the instigation of Catherine Ashton from Britain at the Munich Security Conference earlier that month, a constructive endeavor in which Nuland played no role because she had been attempting to get a high-level mediator from the United Nations involved instead, according to her tapped phone call, which explains her derisive remark about the EU.
In that agreement he explicitly conceded to hold early elections, which had been a key demand that protestors had made, while others demanded his resignation. Since everyone knew that he could not win early elections, an issue not in dispute (I have quoted an article that stated this more than half a year earlier in 2023, and Putin also confirmed this after the fact in his interview with Carlson), the agreement amounted to the same result, namely acknowledging a loss of power. Hence, consenting to the agreement and signing it was already tantamount to a resignation, which he then confirmed through his actions a few hours later, as he abandoned his residence to flee the city. Following a formal parliamentary impeachment procedure was therefore completely unnecessary under the circumstances, as I have already explained in my comments above.
Speaking of intended outcomes…

So what? Both sides already have submarines loaded with hydrogen bombs.

Russia’s birth rate is so low that the government no longer releases statistics.
Of course the conservatives that idealize Roosha as some Gud White tradcon state never talk about that. Ruins the narrative just like talking about their growing Muslim population.
