"There are no good guys in this war. The anti-Russian invective being generated by Western media and politicians is vile, but anyone who takes the antipodal point of view and regards Vladimir Putin as a righteous defender of Russians and freedom is making a big mistake.
About 98% of what is written about the invasion is propaganda. Virtually anything that appears in the Western mainstream media is part of a carefully crafted narrative engineered by the Deep State (the State Department, the CIA, and analogous institutions on the other side of the Atlantic). However, there are also deep tranches of Russian disinformation out there. It’s more subtly executed than the heavy-handed dreck peddled by CNN and The New York Times, but it’s quite effective. Many people on what I consider my side of the fence have fallen for at least some of it. After all, when they do an about-face from the propaganda of the American MSM, they run head-on into material derived from dezinformatsiya planted in various Russian media outlets.
In other words, the atmosphere around the war in Ukraine is all but opaque with a thick cloud of metallic chaff released by every party that holds an interest in one side or the other in the conflict.
However, one thing that Vladimir Putin says is true: he has invaded Ukraine with the intention of de-nazifying it. The current government of Ukraine contains real Nazis — not the “nazis” decried by Justin Trudeau or the Southern Poverty Law Center, but organizations whose unbroken Nazi lineage may be traced back the SS and Stepan Bandera. You won’t read much about them in the media, but they are there — promoted, funded, and whitewashed by the globalist Left. Those Nazis were installed by George Soros’ NGOs and the State Department in 2014 during the Maidan coup.
For an in-depth analysis of what happened in Ukraine in 2013 and 2014, see these two essays by Takuan Seiyo, “Things Are Not What They Seem” and “Ukraine as Quantum Decoherence, Part 1”.
The war in Ukraine is primarily about two major issues: control of pipelines and the imposition of the globalists’ borderless New World Order. The NWO enthusiasts have been gung-ho about the Ukrainian border because they want to prevent the Russians from jamming a sabot into the gears of their plans, but except for that, borders have no role in their Brave New World.
On the other hand, any nation that was historically part of the Russian Empire and now shares a border with Russia, Ukraine, or Belarus — that includes Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Moldova — has every reason to be nervous. Russia justified its incursion into Ukraine by the presence of substantial Russian minorities in the eastern part of the country. That’s a time-hallowed technique that was systematically used and perfected by Stalin, who resettled various ethnicities within the USSR to suit his political needs. Many thousands of Russians were moved into Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to tip the scales in Moscow’s favor when the political necessity arose. There are still substantial numbers of Russians in the Baltic states. Who knows whether they might one day demand independence, or reunion with the Motherland? No wonder those three countries joined NATO as soon as they could." .......
The Ruling Class Is A Far Greater Threat To Americans Than Russia Is thefederalist.com
"There’s no gentle way to say it, but the truth is that a lot of us hate our elites far more than we hate some foreign dictator. It’s a tough truth for the tough place our civilization is in — and surely, it’s a difficult truth for our ruling class to see amid the glare of their self-righteousness.
From Western Europe to West L.A., we know we’re governed by leaders in business, entertainment, and politics who hold scorn for our country, its history, its heroes, its people, and their religion.
They have the money and the power, too. They can freeze truckers’ bank accounts and mask children as young as three. They can order Australians into internment camps and host drag queen story hours. They can force vaccinations, close churches, arrest priests, bankrupt businesses, prosecute bakers, empty prisons, defund police, and sometimes even win votes.
One thing they can’t have, however, is the moral authority to rule a civilization they despise. They are the very thugs they claim to stand against; they have no legitimacy.
“But now is not the time for this squabbling,” we’re told. “Putin’s assault is an assault on the West!” But how can we take their call seriously, when they are the same leaders who ask if we can have schools named after Thomas Jefferson; the same who pine over what primitive tribes our land was “stolen” from?
Putin has no such qualms about his own civilization (and it’s one of the core reasons our elites hate him so). This week, he said Ukraine is Russia’s land, steeped in its religion, culture, and history, so Russia is taking it. Another hard truth is that amid a Western elite who has forgotten who we are, it’s easy to look abroad at our enemies and envy the confidence they have in their own civilizations. Why don’t our leaders have the same?".......
Here is a really interesting comment by Anon. It’s hard to read because the margins are blown but it has some interesting video links.
It also says that Putin wanted to come over to Actual Pres. Reagan's winning side in 2005 and join NATO. Russia would have been a much better fit than Turkey. Instead of welcoming this, we pushed him away because arms companies wanted more sales with NATO expansion elsewhere. Also, Putin would have been arms sales competition.
Imagine if Putin was allied with the West against China. Donald Trump imagined exactly that, but our Elites had already sold out to China, so they overthrew Actual President Trump.
Keenan, Burns and other graybeards warned that NATO expansion was dangerous, but, as Actual Ike warned, the Military-Industrial Complex put their crooked agenda before America’s interests. We see that everywhere today, including Big Tech Censorship and the Bio-Medical Security State.

If anyone is interested in tapping-out, but still staying informed, I really recommend this video. It is from 2015, but Prof. John Mearshimer – University of Chicago, predicted everything that we are seeing today:
Why is Ukraine the West’s Fault? Featuring John Mearsheimer
I saw that when it had only a few hundred thousand views and it has gone to almost 10 million views in a matter of weeks. Steve Bannon is sending a lot of traffic to it. BTW

I also recommend this video for background and deep perspective:
Vladimir Pozner: How the United States Created Vladimir Putin
Fun Fact: Putin asked to join NATO in 2000*… !!!
For old hands here, Vladimir Pozner used to have a show with Phil Donahue during the Cold War and often appeared on Ted Koppel’s Night Line… well worth the 1.5 hours. IMHO
This is a lecture he did at Yale University:
———-
Both of the above videos don’t go into why NATO was expanded, but this video does, from Aaron Maté:
From Ukraine to Yemen, US Arms Industry Reaps the Spoils of War
Basically, the US foreign policy establishment said “no” to NATO expansion, in particular George Kennan and current CIA director William Burns. However, because the Cold War ended, the US arms industry was facing a crisis, so they strongly lobbied Congress to allow Eastern European countries to join NATO… remember each member of NATO is supposed to spend 2 % on national defense… and that “broke the dam” and lit the fuse for various other reasons to join.
Current CIA director William Burn’s position:
Why Biden didn’t negotiate seriously with Putin
Consider the current CIA director, William Burns. Back in 2008, the year George W. Bush fatefully badgered reluctant European leaders into pledging future NATO membership to Ukraine, Burns sent a memo to then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that included this warning:
Ukrainian entry into NATO is the brightest of all red lines for the Russian elite (not just Putin). In more than two and a half years of conversations with key Russian players, from knuckle-draggers in the dark recesses of the Kremlin to Putin’s sharpest liberal critics, I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests.
Burns added that it was “hard to overstate the strategic consequences” of offering Ukraine NATO membership—a move that, he predicted, would “create fertile soil for Russian meddling in Crimea and eastern Ukraine.”
So Burns predicted 12 years ago that pretty much the entire Russian national security establishment would be inclined to make trouble in Ukraine if we offered NATO membership to Ukraine…

*Putin was turned down for NATO membership in 2000, because Russia had an arms industry, so they were not a potential customer. And in addition, if Russia gained membership, its arms manufacturers would compete with US arms manufacturers. And we see a manifestation of that today, with Turkey buying the Russian made S400 ADS and the US F35A… Turkey, is actually under sanctions (under CAATSA) as a US “adversary”, until they drop the S400 ADS, despite being a member of NATO.
I hope all of that is of some use.
For what it is worth…

Mutually Assured Destruction only works when leaders want their country to survive. Obama/Biden does not.
In other words, it wasn’t China and Russia against us, as this intel-sharing story implied.
It was the US Occupation Government and China against Russia. We and China wanted this war–not Putin.
China and its American vassal state goaded Russia into feeling threatened.
In fact, I think the China/Biden Axis misled both Russia and Ukraine.

The Biden Colonial Government and China are essentially one entity.
I think Biden-China Twix told Ukraine they were as good as in NATO to bring out Ukraine's worst impulses.
In other words, they goaded BOTH SIDES into conflict for their own purposes.
And Soros/Clinton get the Russian war they have wanted for years.

Both foreign and domestic, sir, both foreign and domestic. WRECKERS UPDATE: Sunday Talks, Psaki Gives Away the Ukraine Game - Russia Is Needed As Fall Guy for Biden Energy Policy and Economic Damage "While Joe Biden ate his pudding, the people behind the scenes told Zelenskyy and Putin that Ukraine was about to enter NATO {December 2021}. The White House then seeded details through China knowing the intel would get back to Putin. Russia took the bait and intervened." China also benefits from a weakened Russia. By Biden telling Ukraine the same thing about NATO membership, Russia's spies would have heard them talking about it, too, thus giving the planted lie credence. Evil, but clever. An evil act can have a dozen bad motives and Obiden blaming their intentional wrecking of the economy on this conflict is just one more. The reason they need a scapegoat is not because they need more time to fix the economy. They need more time to wreck it. To wreck it for China. To wreck it for the Great Reset. They don’t need your advice, Fox News. Like the Border, they’re wrecking it exactly the way they planned. |
