It was the Jews who were all too keen to regime change a bunch of countries in the Middle East using America as their hammer, causing.....ummm, refugees to flee to Europe? Cause and effect. It was the Jews who ran the Epstein kompromat operation on American politicians. It was Israel the greatest beneficiary of September 11. It is the Jews who infiltrate the "Alt Right" political movements in Europe and steer them into anti Islam movements, using refugees as scarecrows. It is Jews who lobby the West to accept hordes of undocumented migrants - but not Israel. The double standard is exemplary. Remember, the American and Israeli Zionists destabilized the Middle East, causing terrorism and refugee crises. And then they play the victim. This is their schtick. I do not distinguish between these types of Zionists and SJWs - both live on victimhood and welfare handouts.
Cause and effect is not explored in Western lamestream media. They parrot Zionist talking points, using Islam as the bogeyman.
If Zionists left Muslims alone and not destroyed their societies, white people in Europe would be doing well. Muslims would be doing better in their homes, not needing to escape as refugees. But the Jews would be very miserable in that reality.
All of that is both to be expected and (in a very general way, at the level of societies, don’t take it personally) well deserved.
In contrast to your experience, every time I’ve been robbed, intimidated or had people shitting outside my front door it’s always been some English fuck. How’s that for anecdotal, eye of the beholder kind of evidence? And I’m not even lying.
😂 Whatever lets you sleep at night mate. A night in Belfast in the 70s would’ve cured you of all these fantasies. For that matter any Saturday night in Manchester in 2026 will do. Europeans and Americans practically taught the rest of the world the meaning of mayhem. The Dutch you say? Riiight.
It’s very easy to be civilised when your country commands a disproportionate part of the world’s resources, and American can’t even manage that, only country in the world where school children get slaughtered on a regular basis, never heard of that happening in India.
An eye-opening and massive number of C-17 Globemaster military transport and cargo planes have been observed heading to Europe and the Middle East, in what some monitors have forewarned looks like the build-up to major war in Iran.
One regional watcher and pundit commented in response: "112 C-17s are in or on their way to the Middle East. Guys, that’s a lot. Like Desert Storm a lot. Stay tuned."
The US is doing it again - encouraging talks with Iran so they can have the time to further build up their forces for the attack. That is why they were willing to back off their original negotiation demands.
I hope Iran is watching all this - I'm pretty sure they are.
What about Europeans watching their football? Truly one of the most boring sports to watch and the acting everytime a player is touched, ridiculous. I am going to a super bowl party. Watching the political shit show in this country is beyond any rational, what so ever. They are all actors. Zelensky, Trump, botox barbie, superman Pete. And the constant chem-trails/weather modification. Was religion designed to keep us pacified as we watch the evil plunder the planet and humanity to oblivion? Just watched the movie "Oblivion ". That is what the end game is.
Sport is appealing to the viewer if you have an emotional attachment to it, football also called soccer is actually football using your feet only . Americans and australians play handball with the option of using the feet So you cant compare American Handball and Real Football which requires a greater skill with the feet.
Football is a very difficult and skilfull activity, and produces moments of electrical beauty from time to time.
Its greatest exponents, eg Maradona, Yashin, Ronaldo, Cruyff, George Best, Gazza Gascoigne, even the benighted Beckham, have produced displays which can get tens of thousands on their feet cheering, and especially when things go down to the wire, and a team which was behind comes back in a last-ditch victory.
Doubtless Mr Scholten has never heard of any of these people, and so is ill advised to speak about the finer points of the game, or its principal exponents.
I well remember the tattooed one before he was tattooed and came under the oppressive influence of "she who must not smile" curling a free kick into the top right corner of the net over the heads of the entire Greek team which was standing in front of him; thereby securing England's place in the World Cup a few years ago.
As to the tactical falling-downs sometimes seen, the greatest exponent of that art was the legendary Jurgen Klinsmann, but whatever else he was, he was the most unassuming of men when off the pitch, and used to ride around London in a beat-up old VW Beetle, thereby endearing himself to the native population, which has a natural distaste for the sort of ostentation frequently seen amongst these people.
Given that the "religion" you mention is no longer any sort of preoccupation for the vast majority - even if less so in the US, with its rampant judaism - then the perilous state of affairs at the moment was perhaps kept in check by it, and so we should pray for its return, lest a worse thing come upon us, as it is in fact doing.
But the truth is that American culture has long since swept over and influenced much of the planet. Non-Americans may not recognize that reality, because they have been immersed in it all of their lives. And not to put too fine a point on it, but what is commonly called “American” culture is a smorgasbord of cultural practices and beliefs that have been brought to the United States over the centuries by its various immigrant peoples (and also contributed to by indigenous peoples of the North American continent).
what? indigenous peoples? various immigrant peoples? Where are the bits of German, Swedish, Polish, Dutch, French, Italian cultures? Not to mention Native Americans. It´s only some strange mix of Anglosaxonian / Black/ Jewish culture, Christian zionist fundementalism and aggressive capitalism. What "American culture"?
Uncle Sam's former slaves, having built his bloated fortune on stolen land with illusory financing and pernicious, homicidal coercion, did, almost in spite of the overall situation, create the cultural form known as Jazz. I'd be more willing to credit the indominable spirit of the African American than I would 'the US', though - in the United States, Nazi Germany and the Soviet State, racial segregation hindered the spread of jazz, with Black musicians facing systemic barriers despite the music's popularity. In the US, jazz was not just discouraged; it was actively hunted, banned, and rebranded as dangerous by the racist elite of the US, if not Yankee substack cheerleaders desperate for a cultural win.
If you are suggesting that "non-Americans" (ie, 95% of the worlds population) consider a McDonalds on every corner, gun-fetishes, mass-shootings and obnoxious, gas-guzzling cars to be culture worth even considering, let alone participating in, you will need to put a much, much "finer point" on your vacuous navel-gazing to make any lasting point here.
Just because the US carpet bombs the planet unsolicited with its chintzy and saccharine baubles doesn't mean it has any intrinsic quality or lasting-meaning - its just more forms of the US's main export: fast, unhealthy food.
If sport is a major part of that, then England's contribution has been overwhelming.
Even the US' favourite pastime, ie "football, " has its origins in rugby football - but all dressed up as if they are going to a girls' night out, and protected from all harm.
If you want to see the real deal tune into the Six Nations championship which is ongoing at the moment.
Agreed. Being from the u..s and not a fan of u.s. football I forgot all about the diversion from the diversion. We in the u.s. are so illogical now it's hard to know what the truth is so I come here and places like this. Thankfully the Russian and Chinese people have been patient with we in the u.s. (now forever lowercase).
All because the Frogs didn't want to participate in the war on Iraq. Baby Bush should have been happy. No Frogs. No teaching other military units how to drop weapons and retreat.
I have to admit that I am getting very hungry for an attack. The US is in desperate need of a humiliating defeat on a scale larger than that received at the hands of Ansar Allah. And whatever it takes for the sake of the world, israel needs to be wiped off the face of the earth, even if it ends with israel using nukes - it will take many deaths and sacrifices to excise this cancer from the world.
The Chosenites have been thrown out of whichever nations and cities they have parasitized on hundreds of occasions throughout history, but sooner or later, back they come, bearing their usual gifts of fiat currency so as to extort and bribe their way back into power.
Hitler was the last one to do it, but now everybody cravenly goes along with the jewish narrative about him, and nobody dares to openly embrace antisemitism, lest they are drowned beneath tsunamis of fake outrage.
But that is what it will take.
Who will be the first world leader to openly embrace it again?
Genetic studies have shown that while Ashkenazi Jews are related to the inhabitants of Palestine of Biblical times, the blood-relationship is far closer between present-day Palestinians and Biblical Jews.
This blows to pieces the racial theory purporting to support latter day colonisation of Palestine by immigrants professing the Jewish faith.
The only real, but highly questionable, claim these immigrant colonisers can therefore make is one based upon religion, not race.
Jewishness is based by tradition upon adherence to Judaism and only partially upon birth, i.e. having a Jewish mother. Having only a Jewish father does not automatically confer jewishness; although anyone can acquire it by adopting Judaism. Hence a certain number of Kazaks saw fit to become jews by adopting their religion, at a time when the Kazaks possessed a wealthy trading empire located between two mutually hostile and aggressive religions, Christianity and Islam.
Prior to the arrival of zionism, Jews, Arabs, and Chrisians co-existed peacefully side by side. And to this day, many orthodox Jews in present-day Israel are sympathetic to the Palestinian cause.
Secondly, it is necessary to distinguish between "Jewish" and "Zionist". These words are not synonymous. Zionism was founded in the German-speaking world by people born into the Jewish faith who rejected their religion and sought to persuade others of their community to do likewise, to abandon their 'jewishness' and to integrate into the Protestant community. Although many educated German Jews did integrate to a high degree into German society, overall the project failed and turned into something very different: the creation of an exclusively Jewish State based upon fabricated myths and what is said to be distorted Judaism. The location of this Jewish state was not originally fixed, but Palestine was eventually decided upon. This was made possible by the forthcoming removal of Ottoman rule from the Levant and a letter (later known as The Balfour Declaration) dated 2nd November 1917 from the British Foreign Secretary, Arthur Balfour, to Lord Rothschild in which he states:
"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."
The intended boundaries of Palestine were not specified, and the British government later confirmed that the words "in Palestine" meant that the Jewish national home was not intended to cover all of Palestine.
What prompted this Declaration is uncertain; but it was clearly aimed at zionists, who were influential in high-finance internationally.
Despite British successes in the Levant - Baghdad taken in March, Gaza in November - by late 1917 the Allies were staring at the prospect of imminent defeat. There had been widespread mutinies in some French armies. An offensive in Flanders by 50 British and 6 French divisions had advanced the line by a maximum of 6 miles, at a cost of about 300,000 casualties; drawing German reserves from weakened parts of the French lines. The Italian front was collapsing under attacks by German and Austrian armies. The Italians lost 650,000 men and 3,000 guns at Caporetto, requiring British and French reinforcements. Russian forces, demoralised by defeat, had been pushed back but not broken, and were still pinning down large numbers of the enemy after the March Revolution. But subsequent to the Bolshevic coup in November, things would change. Lenin was smuggled into Russia from Switzerland by the German High Command, and Trotsky was despatched there from the U.S. by his New York banker patrons… The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was not far off, in early March 1918, and would lead to massive German troop transfers and a breakthrough later that same month on the British 5th Army front. Finally thrown back at a cost of 863,000 casualties, roughly half French and half British, but including some 7,000 Portuguese and 5,000 Italians.
But your lack of understanding as to what caused the Balfour letter to be issued is turned on its head by the simultaneity of its date, ie late 1917, and your statement that the Allies were facing battlefield defeat at the same time.
Victor ( no relation to our Victor ) Rothschild had persuaded HMG that if they issued the declaration, then US jews would conspire for the US to enter the war on the Allied side, and this is what of course then immediately happened, via the "unfortunate" sinking of the Lusitania.
There is of course, no "jewish faith" as such - it is a racist, supremacist ideology whose only god is Lucifer, and it is mediated via the repulsive rabbinic class.
"Jewish people do not like to admit it, but our god is Lucifer, and we are his chosen people."
( Harold Wallace Rosenthal, Congressional aide to Jacob Javits - before he met an untimely death for saying such a thing, which nobody from amongst them wished the goyim to know. )
The sinking of the Lusitania could hardly have had any very clear influence on U.S. entry into the War. Most public opinion in the U.S. remained resolutely opposed and that event took place in early May 1915. From a German perspective it was justified, as she was carrying munitions as well as passengers.
But of course the sinking would have played into the hands of the very persistent British propaganda effort, which slowly helped modify public opinion. Grossly exaggerated stories of German atrocities. Although they did commit some, against Belgian civilians, in the mistaken belief they were beibg fired on by francs-tireurs. It was the Zimmerman telegramme that finally tipped the balance for public opinion.
But the real reason, I believe, was the huge war debt Britain and France owed U.S. banks. When France could obtain no further credit, the U.K. was obliged to borrow on her behalf. They must not lose the War or there will be no repayment of the debt! And the crazy thing is, the precarious position of the Allies owed much to the Bolchevik Coup in November 2017 which pulled Russia out of the War, and which had been supported by U.S. business interests, including Jewish bankers!
Of course one can deny this by pointing out the U.S. entered the war in April 2017. But there was no significant number of American troops on the battlefield until the latter part of 1918. The Meuse-Argonne offensive kicked off on 26th September 1918.
I don't think much of the WW1 debt ever was repaid, because Britain and France were counting on Germany paying colossal reparations to them. The industrial north of France was not just war-torn but deliberately laid waste by the retreating German Army, so I was told. And Germany defaulted. The U.K. did however repay its WW2 debt making the final payments to the U.S. and Canada in 2006.
That's a bit like saying that a single striking match could not have had much influence on the subsequent conflagration in the Great Fire of London.
I accept your point, but that event caused much outrage in the US, despite your correct assertion that the vessel had been carrying munitions towards Britain, and thus was a legitimate target for Germany.
Thus there was a slow but unstoppable build up in pro war propaganda, doubtless inflamed by all the usual suspects, who saw it as a means of increasing profits in their factories, and for the shareholders in their banks.
Your reference to loans given, of course, points to the real reason behind every war - money, and who controls it, and benefits from it.
But contrary to your assertion, all loans were in fact repaid, the only exception being those made to the USSR.
Germany under Hitler repudiated reparations to the Allies - but only in 1933, after the accession of the new Reichskanzler.
As for the perception that the Zimmermann telegram finally triggered the declaration of war by the US - the writer's name probably tells us everything we need to know about its ultimate origin, and about the underlying zionist agenda for a "National Home for the jews" in Palestine.
Ah, see, you lost me right when you declared that “there is no Jewish faith as such…” While I am not myself a subscriber to it, history shows that it is as real as any other set of religious beliefs and practices, including those of Christianity and Islam, which descended from Judaism.
Now, slink back into your dark hole, and keep your dark thoughts to yourself.
judaism is the bastard child of the Torah - it is based not on the words given to Moses, ie the Written Torah, but on the words given by the Seventy Elders to the jews, ie what you call the "Oral Torah," which includes every satanic perversion known to man, including such gems as "If your heart desires to do evil, then go into a town elsewhere, where your face will not be known," and "It is lawful for a jewish man to have sexual relations with a baby girl, as her hymen will grow back, and therefore it is merely as if one stuck a finger into her eye."
So the dark hole you refer to is the rear end of a man, which you were taught by your rabbis to be the appropriate place for you to deposit your seed, and as such, your fate will be that first visited upon Sodom and Gomorrah.
What passes today as "jews" is a real mix. As for israel, it is dominated by the repulsive Ashkenazi zionist. Whatever their origin, as a tribe they have been despised by countries all down history for their behaviour, which they never seem to question being always the victims rather than the perpetrators of chaos and destruction. The fact that few regions of the world have been able to tolerate their presence for long throughout history leaves one to wonder just what is wrong with these people - certainly they never ask themselves why they have been so disliked over the millennia, rather being content to consider themselves the perpetual victim.
I prefer the exegesis of jewish origins given by the brilliant Ron Unz (a jew):
Because "Many are called, but few are chosen," the real truth about these individuals is commonly rejected, alongside all the other absolute truth contained within the pages of the Bible.
That truth explains explicitly who they are, and the revelation begins with the very first act of rebellion by the woman - ie one of that class of persons who are universally known for their desire to have anything and everything they are forbidden from having - in this case, Eve sought to possess not the fruit - but the serpent, and her wish was gratified, albeit at enormous cost; and Cain was the result.
He was, as are all those of his descendants, "Marked," and thus we see the effects of this mark in play even today, when nobody can now even speak unfavourably about them, despite their manifest and generational wickedness and depravity, as already referred to.
The Saviour and Creator of mankind referred to them as being of their father the devil - and He spoke literally, not figuratively.
And thus is hated and mocked, and was, in His day, crucified for the truth He told.
The genetic ancestry of Ashkenazi Jews shows an interesting asymmetry between maternal and paternal lineages:
Paternal Lines (Y-chromosome)
Studies of Y-chromosome DNA show that Ashkenazi paternal lineages are predominantly Middle Eastern in origin. The most common haplogroups trace back to the Levant and are shared with other Jewish populations (Sephardic, Mizrahi) and Middle Eastern groups. This suggests that the founding male ancestors of Ashkenazi communities came from the Middle East.
Maternal Lines (Mitochondrial DNA)
The maternal ancestry is more complex and debated, but research suggests a significant European component:
• Many common Ashkenazi mtDNA lineages appear to originate in Europe, particularly southern and western Europe
• Some studies suggest around 80% or more of Ashkenazi maternal lineages may have European origins
• A smaller proportion traces to the Middle East
Historical Interpretation
This pattern suggests that when Jewish men migrated from the Middle East to Europe (likely during Roman and early medieval periods), there was intermarriage with local European women who converted to Judaism or joined these communities. Over time, as the communities became more isolated and endogamous, this mixed ancestry became the foundation for the Ashkenazi population.
This interpretation has been debated and refined as genetic techniques improve, but the basic pattern of more Middle Eastern paternal ancestry and more European maternal ancestry appears robust across multiple studies.
Hence claims by rabbis that the line being from the mother contradicts the findings of middle eastern ancestry
However, going further back in time, we note that Noah was "pure in his generations," and thus had no Cainite blood in him, and thus was spared from the lethal effects of the Flood.
Whence then, the emergence of evil in Ham, who clearly "lay with his mother" immediately after this event, and produced a son who was cursed by God, and bore the same name as his evil ancestor?
Obviously, the Cainite contamination came via Noah's wife, whose name we are not given, although Chinese records do give her name, Gaw Bo Lu-En.
And thus the wisdom of the jewish sages, who trace their lineage through this same mother, and all the way back to the first, ie Eve - but for obvious reasons, they prefer not to say who their first father was.
It will not "end" but start with nukes. Here's the actual Israeli plan for the coming war: it will begin with a massed nuclear strike on Tehran, Isfahan, and other Iranian cities by Israeli jets refueled by US airtankers, causing millions of civilian deaths, genociding the Iranian educated class, and collapsing Iran into a failed state. From that point on, the actual role of the US "armada" will be to blunt the desperate retaliation against Israel by whatever is left of Iran.
That is what Netanyahu is going to demand of Trump in their coming meeting on Wednesday, threatening him with unsurvivable kompromat if he refuses.
No, I am saying that israel should not be allowed to exist as a zionist state under any circumstances. Hamas knew the possible consequences of striking israel on Oct 7 - that the Palestinian people would probably suffer hugely - but they also knew that it was necessary to clearly demonstrate to the world israel's true character and plant the seed that would in the end destroy the occupying entity. The Palestinians are martyrs to that worthy cause.
Their state project will die soon enough, no need to hope for nukes or wars that risk nukes., If 50 years passes their nukes will no longer work, because of age. I doubt they'll last that long though given their desire for destruction and given the loss of USA hegemony
"Peace" talks with USA at all, are dangerous and should never happen. USA doesn't want peace. it simply wants to subjugate others to its will. No sovereign country should agree to such talks with their aggressor.
Smoke and mirrors are all that is left of the country I was once somewhat proud of. The Iraq war ended us in the u.s. I assume the 38.7 Trillion in debt mainly DOD war debt not being invested in our people and infrastructure is the toothless ageing giant dying, war everywhere with everyone.
Subjugate is an interesting description. I don't think I agree. We in the u.s. no longer have that ability to subjugate countries even the size of Venezuela. Chaos creators, I think that is what we are in the u.s. We create chaos in our own country having ICE murder our own with little or no reason. Last year our population declined in the u.s. for the first time since the flu of 1918 I will not call it the Spanish flu it was not.
My Son asked me about leaving the u.s. , A Dir. of Microbiology who has lost his position with the elimination of FDA, EPA resulting in chaos at state levels.
I work in science, having worked at CERN, and DES and various Dark Matter experiments. Science in the u.s is no longer funded. Chaos is in almost all aspects of
life now. The healthcare system is broken, homeless children, education debt at 1.6
Trillion with many graduates not finding work that pays extremely high rents and
student loans. Sounds strange doesn't it? What I am saying doesn't fit with the Super Power narrative does it. Most of the students I work with are from foreign countries because students in the u.s know there is no future in science here.
Science is a false hope, especially 'healthcare'. It is a god of the West, completely manufactured for the purpose of profits. It has been, for a very long time, corrupted. Did you never learn about 'snake oil salesmen'.
I would argue that there is no healthcare system in usa, there is medical care provided by large publicly traded medical institutions, run by 'experts' educated in a for-profit academic institution. We are required to purchase ' health insurance' from publicly traded corporations. Those who qualify for government financial assistance (including Medicare), have their premiums paid by other taxpayers. These three 'scientific' institutions ensure we never achieve good health. Where is the profit in that?
We are also required to eat the food the publicly traded companies 'make' in factories, and if we are lucky, we can eat the GMO fruits/veggies/wheat from the glyphosate enriched soil watered by the polluted water.
I could go on and on but why bother?
Consider all the 'scientists' (and wanna be scientists like Dr Bill Gates) with ties to Epstein. Exactly what experiments were performed in the lovely, private ranch in New Mexico?
Science is a TOOL KIT for predicting things in the physical world.
Nobody who knows how to use a hammer, wrench or chainsaw worships tools, much as we enjoy having the expanded capabilities they can facilitate at our disposal.
OTOH, people who don't understand how their car or computer works might believe darned near anything and say absolutely ridiculous shite- People such as yourself (and most politicians).
There was a good faith effort at funding what we now call STEM after Sputnik for a good 20 years, even "pure" research got grant money, likewise during this time higher education wasn't priced out of reach of ordinary people's HS graduate children. That somewhat golden tinted age went by the board with the Reagan devolution.
Which devolution in US education was further accelerated by the "end" of the "cold war". I watched this happen during my college years, and now, after two generations of growing MBAs and making billionaires by looting existing productive businesses & moving paper instead of educating PhDs in such boring fields as physics, chemistry, math & engineering? Here we are.
Peace talks on a Friday are aptly timed: the muslims have to attend friday prayers at the mosque, so public activities are suspended in the early afternoon; saturday is Israel's sabbath, more suspended activities. meaning the negotiations (where the teams don't meet in person?) will go slowly. and sunday is of course, well, sunday... fresh start on monday!
yeah - I don't think Net's ready for the Samson Option yet. did you see this interesting video from The People's Voice - the part where Mel Gibson is explaining in detail the plans of the Zionists - https://youtu.be/GmreRPVWC7c
No. Thanks.... I guess. I don't know whether I have the stomach for it. I'm a citizen of a country with an early 20th century economic system and a perverted blackmailed narcissistic president who shits his pants.
I didn't see it however, I can only imagine the horror they want us all to experience so some can float in the Universe. I have news for them we are already in heaven : )
Standing on the mountain of Tololo seeing the most beautiful skies we are in heaven : )
Indeed. Like Mandelson. A Jew who Tony Blair put in government twice, and he twice had to leave because of scandals, one being taking bribes from an Indian billionaire.
Then he's STILL in the top Labour clique, leading the effort to ignore the Brexit referendum and stay in the EU. And Starmer makes him the ambassador to the U.S.
He was a buddy of the Jewish Rothschilds like Epstein, and Epstein paid him to get documents from the Labour government about future bank law, so Epstein and his fellow Jews could place their investments right. This is how they get rich.
Reminds me of Bloomberg. He sold a panel for those working in Wall Street. Then, a journalist writes, "for whatever reason" he got told in advance about what interest rate changes the Jew Greenspan's Federal Reserve would make. So everyone HAD to buy Bloomberg's panel. And that's how Bloomberg got rich.
"For whatever reason."
Trump knew about Mandelson. Yet he said that the Epstein files don't exist. Only the constant, building pressure from below, and the lead of people like Tucker Carlson, finally made him release the files. He claimed "Epstein is a Democrat conspiracy." Yet Mandelson, who is in the files, is a leftist, from the party that helped the Democrats go knocking doors before the last election. Trump lied to us, again.
If the US wants to go all in, Russia will have to enter the war directly to save Iran. Meaning the Oreshniks with nuclear warheads should be moving towards North Ossetia, and some SSNs should be shadowing US subs in the Arabian sea, waiting for shit to start.
But Russia refuses to fight even to defend itself, so how do you imagine that happening?
BTW, Iran's position here is admirable -- any attack on Iran means regional war and CENTCOM is gone.
Putin was supposed to do the same -- any NATO strikes on Russian territory and NATO in Europe will be erased from the face of the planet.
But the ayatollah did and Putin didn't.
And NATO is firing point blank into Belgorod every other hour.
That difference is also why the Iranians never trusted the Russians. And focused on developing their own capabilities instead. But to deter the US you need ICBMs with nukes on them, and not just one, but a sufficient number of those, plus making it crystal clear to everyone that they will be fired upon the first transgression committed. Iran hasn't put those things together publicly yet.
P.S. There is also the forgotten story of Cuba, which is under blockade. And neither Russia, nor China are doing anything to help it. Russia is an understandable situation -- the Whites did a counter-revolution there four decades ago and are still in power, so naturally helping Red Cuba isn't high on their agenda. Which is why the Cubans, remembering the betrayal of the Yeltsin years, have kept their distance ever since. But China has absolutely no excuse.
Why would Russia need to become directly involved in the conflict between the US and Iran? Iran is a huge mountainous country with 90 million people having the experience of war. The US couldn't defeat tiny North Korea, North Vietnam or the Taliban in the Hindu Kush. What hope would they have, alone, of defeating the Iranians in the Zagros Mountains? Russia and China would only need to give diplomatic cover and some material support. The US won't even have a staging area for troops and any bombing campaign would involve complicated logistics involving aerial refueling and aircraft flying extremely long distances to the edge of their ranges to target any meaningful facilities. Then their is the "theory" or SEAD strikes, where no US pilot has ever flown against capable air defense. Added to that they will be flying platforms like the F35 and F22 though heavily marketed have almost never flown into airspace with capable air defense. Probably all the simulation will be proven correct but then it must be considered they are flying into airspace with limited intelligence not knowing the capabilities of the Iranians and where those defenses are located. This creates an extremely out of control situation with an extremely steep learning curve.
>Why would Russia need to become directly involved in the conflict between the US and Iran?
For the same reason it had to use nukes if necessary to save Syria and it had to intervene on Armenia's side in Karabakh -- Russia's own existence is on the line.
Which, if you look at the map (but armed with sufficient knowledge of the history and culture of the various regions you see on it, which doesn't seem to be the case), you should easily be able to see.
But Russia didn't intervene in those cases.
It doesn't do anything even to defend itself from NATO bombardment.
>What hope would they have, alone, of defeating the Iranians in the Zagros Mountains?
Nobody is planning on doing that. What hope did they have to defeat the Venezuelans in the Andes and in the jungles of the Orinoco delta? None, it was going to be like Vietnam had the Venezuelans fought. But what happened in the real timeline? Well, we know what happened.
And it happened precisely because Russia and China didn't provide sufficient support.
What happened in Venuzuela other than the Venuzuelan president was given up to prevent the genocidal US bombing of Caracas? Do you believe their is a hope in hell the same thing will happen in Iran? The US does not have any control over Venuzuela. The only way the US can control Venuzuela is through a military occupation needing hundreds of thousands to millions of troops.
Russia couldn't save Syria if the Syrian people were unwilling to save themselves. The Russians played the geopolitical game that was in their best interest. Russia is about protecting Russia and Russians. With that said an open war against the US would not be protecting Russians especially if the alternative is to endure pinpricks knowing NATO and Western nations are economically declining to point of being merely nuisances.
>Russia couldn't save Syria if the Syrian people were unwilling to save themselves
2024 came after everything that happened between 2011 and 2023. The war did not start in 2024. But again, if you knew the history, you would not be writing these things.
And because you don't know the history, you also post this:
>With that said an open war against the US would not be protecting Russians especially if the alternative is to endure pinpricks
Russia is being dissected right now exactly the same way Syria was. The scale is different, but the method is the same.
Sorry my friend it is difficult to follow your delusional rambling it's as if your programming crashed. I don't follow Western Mainstream Media, they lie, spin, and frame opinions/narratives as fact. My knowledge is based on history, that you claim I don't understand though you demonstrate you don't know much, geography, geopolitics, economics, natural law, maths etc. not listening to talking heads spouting nonsense. Though you can continue spouting nonsense as you generally do. Not my place to correct the Dunning Kruger effect.
The Americans de facto control the oil trade of Venezuela which is clearly too frightened to take on the US military. Like all apologists for Moscow you are unable to put this in the context of the new cold war and how defending your allies is critical to your own long term survival.
Just because the US is the world's policeman, doesn't mean Russia needs to be the world's protector. Generally, a country with a population of 30+million, with internal cohesion is very hard to invade and control, even with boots on the ground. The US is playing whack-a-mole trying to keep every country following their their directives. First get Venezuela to halt oil shipments to China, but China pivots to Canadian oil. Next get Iran to halt oil shipments to China, but Iran isn't interested.
Trump's capture of Maduro isn't like Cortés capture of God-King Moctezuma II. Without their navy to seize oil tankers, the US would have no influence on Venezuelan oil exports. US naval vessels at Venezuela means the naval forces threatening Iran are smaller than used against Ansarallah. The US forces are being spread thinly.
China appears to have banned investment in Israel, is sending 5 destroyers while Russia is sending 2.
>Just because the US is the world's policeman, doesn't mean Russia needs to be the world's protector.
It's not about protecting the world, it's about protecting yourself.
You know why 2-4 full HIMARS salvos have been hitting Belgorod every few hours for several days now? And why Putin was attacked by 91 drones in Novgorod?
Because in 1989-1991 the Russian elites decided that they don't need to be the world's protector and gave up all their allies, all their buffer space, and even much of their own territory.
There would be no HIMARS firing into Belgorod if the Red Army was still in Rostock, Magdeburg and Erfurt. Drones would not be able to reach Novgorod either.
It's that simple -- if you are dealing with an expansionist genocidal entity, the only way to not fight it on your own territory is to fight it somewhere else.
I struggle to understand how you seem to have a view the Russia is both fragile, unable to tolerate the attacks on Russia soil, and powerful, capable of ending the war in Ukraine quickly while launching attacks on the EU and US, while simultaneously deploying their military to protect any anti-US country.
Russia's limited capabilities mean they need to prioritize - shield important countries like Belarus, Georgia and go to war in Ukraine, while offer limited help to enemy of my enemy countries like Cuba, Syria and Venezuela. Russia doesn't depend on these countries economically, and they are not important for defending Russian territory. Geopolitics changes - Syria rejected Russian and Iranian assistance trying to improve relations with the Gulf states and the West. Iran delayed signing the military agreements with Russia because they didn't want to be too close.
>I struggle to understand how you seem to have a view the Russia is both fragile, unable to tolerate the attacks on Russia soil, and powerful, capable of ending the war in Ukraine quickly while launching attacks on the EU and US, while simultaneously deploying their military to protect any anti-US country.
Because your foundational assumptions are false.
In this case your are assuming that Russian leadership works for the interests of Russia the country. It doesn't, it works for the interests of the Russian leadership itself and a few hundred oligarchs.
Once you correct your foundational assumptions it will all become clear.
P.S. The Soviet block was more objectively powerful than the West. It had the physical resources, the West didn't, and the West had just gone bankrupt in the 1970s and 1980s, what remained was for the process of bankruptcy to unfold. And yet what happened in the real timeline? Soviet leadership betrayed its own country.
Why do people think things have completely (or in any way) changed since then?
The story I have is Moctezuma was killed by his own people for being too soft against Cortez. Maybe you are thinking of Pizarro's capture of the god-king of the Inca?
I meant after the Spanish had Moctezuma under house arrest, they used him to order the Aztec to hand over large amounts of gold. Pizarro would have been another excellent example of capturing the leader meant control of the populace.
What China and Russia don't seem to realize, with each created failed country around them allows the dying Empire to continue pretending and that is dangerous for the world. I am not sure if anyone knows what happens next. We shall see.
Yes I heard the president proclaim it the greatest weapon of modern times.......I am sure the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, North Koreans are drafting articles of capitulation to US greatness.
Trump got everything he wanted with a 3-hour operation, Venezuela ended as a sovereign country, Russia and China suffered a major geopolitical defeat, and people are still laughing at Trump because that's just what they always default to instead of looking at the ugly objective reality for what it is...
US oil companies don't believe Trump controls Venezuela. They refuse to make long term investments, as they would face sabotage now, and cancellation of any agreements once the US navy departs. I don't think the limited control the US has now will last beyond Trump's administration.
Cubans on the ground at the time, and who survived, spoke of people falling over with blood coming out of their ears, and being totally disorientated, so the device seems to be slightly more dangerous than just listening to Donnie's blather.
Probably some sort of update on the crowd control devices the US deploys, and has done for a decade or two.
‘Why would Russia need to become directly involved in the conflict between the US and Iran?’
It is not Russia but rather China who will have no choice but to get involved. Fifty percent of China’s imported oil comes from nations around the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz. America’s greatest dream is to floor or at least control the Chinese economy and by controlling the Strait this can be achieved. That means China will have no option but to fight a war against the US stretching from Taiwan to the Strait of Hormuz. If Japan and South Korea will get involved in this conflict that will turn this into the greatest naval warfare of all times. Russia will try to replace the oil losses for China through Mongolia and from Vladivostok but this will be a time consuming act.
FWIW: China is rapidly electrifying. IIRC, they installed the equivalent of the US grid in the last year. (seems fantastic) They are stocking up on oil. While they do currently get a lot from the Persian Gulf, they also have other options.
IOW, while the situation is not good it isn't dire.
Of course, much of this depends on many other factors.
People in the u.s. never knew the real history of Japans involvement in WW2 with the u.s. We in the u.s. embargoed oil to Japan. Japan had no choice but to first attack the u.s. Navy. When that failed, they failed it was only time. That is the plan for China. We are not creative in the u.s. with a failed education system.
Pearl Harbor 1941 that was exactly the horror story I had on my mind. I was just reluctant to spell it out because Americans grew up with fairy tales and it takes a lot of effort to educate them. Problem is that this time the numbers connected to the military and the economy will be greater on the other side.
I think they have provided dual use technologies. The US is uncertain about attacking, and Iran is confident enough to reject talks on their missiles and support of regional forces. China banned investment in Israel, and Chinese companies will probably start avoiding Israel knowing the government frowns on it, which will hurt Israel. These actions seem weak in comparison to the Chinese military deploying, but will probably be enough to tip the scales.
Excellent analysis by Seeker! Western commentators or those influenced mainly by media and literature in the West demonstrate permanent thought damage from delusional Eurocentric and Atlanticist syndrome! Even with good intentions, they fall back into simplistic myopic explanations based on hidden delusional biases including overestimating or taking for granted the military strength of American imperialism (instead of dynamic historical analysis), and conversely underestimate the ability of Iranians to not only be able to defend themselves but also to humiliate the empire. And their ignorance also leads them to disregard the dynamic nature of the alliance, cooperation, and preparations for various scenarios between Iran, Russia, and China depending on specifics or extent of any attack on Iran.
The strength of BRICS+ is each country is largely self-reliant militarily with domestic arms industries, large enough populations, and functioning economies. Unlike US vassals, they do not depend on daddy Trump or other country to save them.
Russia doesn't have to play world policeman. Countries the US has invaded, like Afghanistan, return to self-determination after the US leaves. They can't afford boots on the ground, so their control is temporary and limited.
BRICS+ nations do support each other financially. Russia and China ignore US sanctions on Iran, and supplying Iran with dual-use technology. China has banned investment in Israel, which should scare Israel, as China is Israel's main supply partner, and China's coercive trade tactics are devastating, as the US, Australia and Lithuania found out.
Meanwhile Russia’s friends keep getting neutered and the number of its enemies multiplies. Supporting Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Syria… isn’t acting as “world policeman.” It WOULD be protecting countries that are friendly and important to its security while it is in a world war. But Russia obviously wants to join the other side.
Russia's limited capabilities, and the fact there are no permanent allies, only interests, means Russia needs to prioritize. Countries like Georgia, Belarus, Ukraine and various -stans are high priority for Russia, whereas Syria, Cuba and Venezuela are enemy of my enemy type friends, cold war era thinking that doesn't apply well in a multi-polar world.
Venezuela turned to Russia in response to US sanctions, but have no other common interests. China could have acted to protect their Venezuelan oil supply, but the unanticipated actions of the US and the speed left little time to react. Now Canada is defying the US and supplying oil to China, are they Russian and Chinese friends? No.
The US oil companies don't believe the US rules Venezuela. They wont invest in infrastructure knowing that in 5 years when Trump is gone, they'll lose their investment. I suspect Venezuelan hostility to the US is enough for them to sabotage any infrastructure now.
Loss of Syria doesn't really affect Russian security - the Mediterranean is a NATO lake, and Turkiye is emerging as the protector of Syria.
Iran is a strategic ally, and needs to be protected by both China and Russia, and whatever aid they had provided seems to have made Iran confident enough to restrict talks to nuclear enrichment only.
"cold war era thinking that doesn't apply well in a multi-polar world."
What do you mean by this? are you contrasting cold war to hot war? or suggesting that cold war doesn't happen in a multipolar world? Because Russia is in a hot war, and the world doesn't look all that multipolar yet, and in any case Russia needs friends because it is being encircled by enemies and attacked by drones from many directions.
You say Iran is a strategic ally but say loss of Syria doesn't affect Russian security. In fact the loss of Syria both wiped out a country that was defending its airspace from Israel, making it much harder to attack Iran, and the loss of Syria also meant that a large hoard of Soviet era weapons went to Ukraine, causing yet more Russian death. We'll see how bold Iran is in time - they're making offers right now they have no business making as Russia tries to help them capitulate (offering to take custody of the enriched Uranium). And we'll see how justified such Iranian boldness as there is is justified. The negotiations continue, and the US hasn't even killed the current set of Iranian negotiators yet, so things are obviously just getting started.
Venezuela was not an oil play - at least not for current possession and use. It was helpful to put Cuba in a terrible spot though and narrowed China's oil options a little. Venezuela was Russia's largest trading partner in South America. No biggie, right? cause Russia is just swimming in money.
I don't say Russia is doomed, but I do say it is losing, and the war is being disastrously mismanaged. I think you said you'd be shocked if there have been 200,000 KIA for Russia (I think that was you). I wouldn't be, but deaths happen in wars, especially wars that last several years. This one should have ended long ago.
Cold war thinking sees countries as tokens lost and gained by two opposing forces - USSR/NATO. Countries have more agency now, are not pawns, and instead of two massive powers, we have more regional powers. This new found independence must frustrate those thinking in traditional terms - Canada defying the US and trading oil with China? They can't do that! I wouldn't be surprised if Latin American countries start rejecting the roles assigned to them under the Monro doctrine and trade with whoever they like.
Brazil is Russia's largest trading partner in S America. Venezuela is 99th, so yes, no biggie.
Syria is geographically too far from Russia for it to be a strategic loss. There are sunk costs from when Syria was crucial to the USSR. Syria's loss threatens Iran. China doesn't advertise aid, and the next few weeks will be interesting.
I made this ANALYSIS - back in July 5, 2025 Simps Substack - nobody believed me and Iran does not need Russia. Respect to Iran and Yemen the only 2 countries sticking it.
Most analysts haven't made the obvious conclusion, even Simplicious. There was no US air-strikes in Iran.
It seems rather rudimentary when one looks at the facts (open-source), the math, and reasons from it.
🔴 Iran has possessing of domestic hyper-sonic ballistic missile technology that is equal or better to many of Russian and Americans weaponry that range in distances from 35km-2000km. Launches military satellites into low earth-orbit. Possesses IRBM, ICBM missile tech e.g. Khorramshahr-3/4.
🔴 Iran has been lodging missiles and drones at Israel relentlessly, mostly counter-force strikes, hitting many of Israel's military installations with precision, e.g. air defenses. Full unmolested penetration for 12days non-stop.
🔴 Central Tel Aviv is 1,000 miles (1,600km) distance from Tehran. Some missiles were said to be 'Oreshnik' like, breaking the atmosphere.
🔴 1 mile = 5,280 ft. 1,000 miles = 5,280,000 ft
B2's surface ceiling altitude of 50,000-60,000 ft (9.5-11.4miles above ground) to drop munitions in active military operation.
🔴 We are led to believe, 10-20 juicy targets (B2 and jets-media report) over Iranian airspace for 1-2hrs, Iran was blinded, couldn't hit, staged, etc, a mere 12miles distance, when they are hitting over 1,000 miles with precision? People will believe any Bullshit the US spits out....
🔴 In summary, Iran has proven that it is capable of hitting and controlling high-altitude objects specifically high value stealth drones.
..
I believe these US bombers, jets NEVER entered Iranian airspace and NEVER did any sorties, or bombing runs.
..
It was complete classified 'fake' theater, pr-stunt for the western audience.
I'm of the same opinion, which is confirmed by the orange Hitler's stance concerning iranian nuclear capabilities. Had they been "decimated" or whatever the orange idiot claimed at the time of the theater strikes on Iran, he would not be talking about Iran's nuclear capabilities again, as an excuse for further aggression towards Iran.
Also, this is the USA we are talking about here...a country filled with very dumb and supremacist people, that think they can do whatever they want and always have to have the last "word". The fake attack was just that. USA and Israel were getting hammered by Iran and could not sustain more of it and had to request a ceasefire. But because they must have the last word, the fake strike was conjured out of thin air to deceive the north american idiots and the orange Hitler declared the 12-day war over, and that USA "won"...The idiots believed it and USA "won" another war they created, just not on the battlefield, only on the propaganda side of things.
China's failure is pathetic and self defeating. It has the largest number of naval ships in the world and could send some of them to the Caribbean to deliver vital aid to Cuba. Moscow could deliver life saving aid to Cuba in conjunction with the Chinese but both seem unwilling to take action which is in their long term interests.
The fact that you believe that this is in their long-term interest does not make it so. I would suspect (just guessing here) that the Chinese leadership has access to a lot more information than you do, not to mention responsibility for a billion people.
The lamd border is underdeveloped. The coastline is easily bottlenecked, in that the US controls all chokepoints in out of China, not to mention the ooena sea.
To claim that the US controls all the choke points in and out of China, let alone the open seas is just a declaration of faith, not a real assessment of actual facts.
Here's just one small example of what I mean by actual facts, I don't really have time to run through all of China's naval power and strategy with you.
Fiery Cross Reef is a Chinese military base more than 1200km from the mainland. It not only has a radar station and hardened bunkers but also a 3km long air strip capable of handling its heavy bombers such as the Xi'an H6.
The H6K variant has a combat range of 3,500km and can carry a wide array of stand-off munitions including anti-ship weapons such as the YJ-12 (warhead up to 500kg range up to 500km) and the YJ-21 (range up to 1,500km) Specific performance is unknown but these weapon systems aren't myths, they're real.
So I'm calculating that China is perfectly capable of reaching out and touching someone in a very forceful manner >5,000km from its coastline.
There is no "Bottling Up" that.
The US could ATTEMPT to blockade China, and shut down the world's economy, and that attempt would later be called by the survivors "World War Three".
Dividing the world into enemies and friends is Cold War thinking that doesn't apply in a multi-polar world. Each countries limited resources means they need to prioritize. China will go to war over Taiwan and North Korea, Russia will over Belarus and Georgia, but they don't have enough economic and strategic interests to help Cuba. Enemy of my enemy friendships are not strong enough.
How could Putin erase NATO from the earth without a nuclear war that would destroy Russia and the rest of the world as well? You fault Putin for not doing that?
Putin can't enter the war on Iran's side against the U.S. and Israel for the same reason - it would be an attack on a NATO country and lead to the same war.
"Russia is an understandable situation -- the Whites did a counter-revolution there four decades ago and are still in power, so naturally helping Red Cuba isn't high on their agenda."
That was a Soviet bankruptcy, as Gorbachev admitted. Gorbachev tried to keep the dictatorship together but everyone was tired of it. People were desperately poor in the Soviet Union. I was there in the 1990s, you could see how terrible everything was, it took decades to restore Russia.
No one was allowed to leave. Because then they'd all leave. The Soviet athletes in the Olympics were herded around by commissars who made sure they didn't talk to other athletes without supervision. Afterward the KGB interrogated them. Their families would be punished if they tried to flee.
People in the Soviet Union weren't even allowed to travel from one city to another without permission.
The forests were dead. Still so in the 1990s. You still see some of it today. The air in the cities was so bad they had to pump in air from outside for welding. Everyone had black snot, like in China today, because the air was so polluted. (A Chinese girl told me that until she came to study in Europe she didn't know snot didn't have to be black.)
The lakes were so poisoned by toxic waste that if you swallowed any of the war you had to be stomach pumped. The fish were so drugged they swam right at you and bumped into your legs. The barbecue consisted of grilling potatoes. The drinks were terrible, oily vodka - the good vodka was all exported.
The Soviets even dumped toxic waste by the North Pole.
The library had no lights. You had to sit by the window to read. You weren't allowed to leave with any books, because everyone stole in the Soviet Union, to get something to sell. There were no bookshelves, you had to look through the paper register and write down which book you wanted to read by the window, and they'd get it for you.
There was no medicine. The "free healthcare," like in Cuba, consisted of pain killers. Only the Party elite was allowed to buy medicine in special stores where it was imported from "capitalist" France. The Soviet Union couldn't invent medicine, or anything else, other than at enormous cost.
Their dentist equipment was still on the level of 1950. People's teeth hurt as a result.
The night clubs, the restaurants, everyone still had to pay money to the organized crime. The crime bosses had paid the Soviet rulers at the local level, they were everywhere. The Soviet Union was a crime state. Only when Putin came to power were they defeated.
It wasn't a "counter revolution," it was people protesting against a thieving tyranny that prevented them even from going from one city to another. Not that anyone except the Party elite could afford a car to travel in.
As for Cuba, the mass murderer Fidel Castro admitted in his old age that communism didn't work. He told a reporter, "the Cuban model doesn't work even in Cuba."
The communism experience is simply outside of the acceptable for a human society. Therefore, it will necessarily self-destruct, it is only a question of time.
It has become a holy mission, when you look what’s happening in Gaza and Iran unrest coordinated by Mossad-CIA and US neocons, and also by American-Israeli Zion genocists to wipe all these terrorists from this earth, that there’s no other choice than to become a antisemitist. Anti Zionists is far too soft.
I will say this, this Genocide is not of Jewish origin, it is a u.s. Zionist origin. We in the u.s. are responsible for this. Billions of u.s. dollars from our gov. and the Zionist churches as well as the Zionist Billionaires are committing this Genocide : (
What is so special about the Jews? Being anti-any people is obnoxious especially if you couple it with the usual run of war crimes. But you can ring-fence a people if you want to and exempt them from the standards you apply to the rest of the human race. That is precisely the Zionist way. It is also what has happened viz Ukraine that according to the west can do no wrong. Nasty doctrine- exceptionalism.
LOL the satanic evil genocidal psychopaths and child abusers, are always crying about "anti semitism" and calling others "evil". Israel and israeli supporters just love projection...
Also Israel just murdered 50000+ unarmed woman in children in Gaza, that were semitic people. So Israel and their supporters, like yourself, are the most anti-semitic scum on the planet.
Indeed, I don’t understand. The Israeli government is invested with psychopaths for decades and they are trying to create the greater Israel by destroying the native population and every country that stands in their way, backed up by the bought USA government and the Samson option, putting the entire world at risk. Unbelievable that people start disliking Israel and their (foreign) policy. Mind blowing.
And those that dislike Israel are still alive. Imagine if we would be able to ask all the many victims (terrorists ofc in Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Palestine and elsewhere) what they think of Israel?
Maybe it’s time for you to look in the mirror and ask yourself why Israel is entitled to bring death and destruction without punity.
We have tried the Israeli project since 1948. Clearly not a success. Time to try something different also in honor of the many innocent victims.
Whenever the interests or conflicts of Israel are involved nothing is too expensive for America and genocide is always an option. The ultimate goal of the ‘Counterfeit State of Israel’ is major territorial expansion and Iran has proven already that it is planning to oppose the process.
Don't forget Patagonia in Argentina. Milei passes a law stating that burnt land can be sold to foreigners. Jews starting the fires, then buying the land on the cheap. They are planning for a nuclear WWIII. Patagonia could very well be the only livable place on earth at that point.
Roger that! Here deep in America's Rust Belt, my Congress Critter is a "D" and a minority yet has not said a peep about the Gaza genocide. She is always bleating "compassion, care, and justice." Then, I looked up her campaign contribution list of donors and VOILA! Tens of thousands are routinely given her by AIPAC. Endless visits by "Mr. Green" to her pocketbook triumphs over all morals and ethics for her.
As we say here: "'Murica! Best government money can buy!"
I suppose most folks are willing to try just about anything that does not interfere with their addictions or reduce status.
Our bureaucracies will automatically maintain the status quo.
I'm thinking of moving to one of many victim countries and offering to spend the rest of my life trying to make amends for all the mayhem the US has caused. Probably go over better than when they eventually invade US and reap their revenge.
Of course if they just torture me to death that would be not be a shock.
Country is too deeply divided. Reason, facts, figures--mean nothing to half the populace. More of this later.
In the 1940s when the Japanese Empire attacked Pearl Harbor, America was galvanized into patriotism and action. Even Hollywood starts "joined up" to fight. Today--apathy, sloth, and indifference by millions living in a world of smartphone illusions, social media, and media spin.
Methinks a catastrophic event--like a huge Wall Street crash, de-dollarization of the greenback, or a hyper inflation--may--just may--put people back in touch with Miss Reality. She's a stern mistress.
Indeed. When even a professional holocauster says they have the "mark of Cain" now....
"Yes, it is genocide. It is so difficult and painful to admit it, but despite all that, and despite all our efforts to think otherwise, after six months of brutal war we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained with the mark of Cain for the 'most horrible of crimes,' which cannot be erased from its forehead. As such, this is the way it will be viewed in history’s judgment for generations to come."
--Amos Goldberg, Holocaust historian at Hebrew University
It's because he is firmly in the camp of folks like Navalny and Igor Girkin whose hatred for Putin drives their lives and is the motivation for every breath they take.
You say that the "international community" has tied the zionist entity's hands in Gaza. In what way, certainly not in a way that stops their bombing to my knowledge. Perhaps you could explain?
Well, Putin likes to suck up to Trump more than anyone else.
He offered Trump a partnership in developing Russia's and Ukraine's mineral resources.
Putin refers to the US as "our partners".
100's of thousands of Russians are dying, spearheaded and supplied by the US to its Ukrainian proxy, while the Kremlin is eager to make deals with its American partner.
Russian Oligarchs loyal to money before country are too bent on making deals to enrich themselves at the expense of their patriotic soldiers. The Ukrainian war has become no more than a killing field, a slaughterfest.
The SMO was ill-conceived with no clear objective.
Ukraine will live to fight another day after the peace.
Russia attacked Ukraine unprepared and without the resolve to do what had to be done.
The objective should have been to defeat Ukraine promptly. Now, look at the mess the SMO has become. No Western country fears Russia. The SMO has turned into a never-ending WW1-type of positional warfare. Russia should never have entered Ukraine if it wasn't prepared, and things would have turned out like this. I mean, it only had one decade to prepare. The war should have been over by now. Ukraine defeated—no more drone attacks on Putin or on Russia's critical industries or endless body counts and destroyed war material.
I pity the Russian patriots fooled into this war only to see Putin and friends make deals with their US enemy, and so little gained. It's like Russia has to endure some type of humiliation ritual. The Russian leadership have failed its people again. No wonder the Russian Nationals are so upset about how this war is handled with kid gloves without purpose.
"The Russian Federation is structurally incapable of winning the war in Ukraine.
Defeating the West is impossible when your assets, families and hopes and dreams are in the West."
"The SMO was ill-conceived with no clear objective."
Do you listen to the 2007 MSC speech? Did you read the draft treaties in 2021? Did you read the February 2022 Russia China joint statement? Did you listen to Putin's address to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in June 2023? Apparently not. If you do your questions will be answered.
Philosophically, what does it actually mean, to "win a war"?
Is it the ancient Roman definition, ie "To create a wasteland, and call it peace"?
This seems to be GM's definition, and it was also the US definition, ie first, "Shock and Awe" and then no plan for afterwards.
Russia is trying, through the mechanisms of war, to create a new security architecture for Europe, and this is a more difficult proposition than other more short-sighted visionaries would have you believe.
No clear objectives? Russia's objectives have been clearly stated repeatedly and without variance over the years. As for being "structurally incapable of winning", how exactly are they not winning? And don't confuse the concept of how they ARE winning with your concept of how they SHOULD win according to your mind - the undeniable fact is that they are winning.
And where do you get the idea that they have "hundreds of thousands" killed in action? Please support that with evidence?
Yes. Latest rumours is 1,7 KIA/MiA for Ukraine. I expect Russia to have lost 650 o00. A real horror and treason against the people of Russia. And why kill 1,7 million ukis when you could strike the leadership on an on again?
Human sacrifice is the ONE tragic effect many ignore, the Pro-Putinz beat war drums! not realizing how bad it is for both Russia, the Ukraine and the hatred that breeds among ethnic Russians.
.
Its come to revelation, the supreme wise leader is not exactly a good guy after all but perhaps ambiguously in cohorts with the devil.
.
It took awhile to come to this realization, but after Syria, and the SMO it is conclusive that Putin is a zionist, not a President who looks after Russians.
.
It is TIME the Russian people elected a PRESIDENT where Russia comes first, and not Israel. Putin must go!
He has done a lot for the Russian people under the cirkumstances he worked under. He had some peculiar comments about critisizing Israel for the genocide in Gaza, though, refering to the many Russian expats with jewish faith in Israel…
It is Putins fault that Russia hasnt done what was needed in Ukraine.
Feel sorry for all these people who has died in vain (on both sides).
>No clear objectives? Russia's objectives have been clearly stated repeatedly and without variance over the years.
Empirically false -- no clear objectives have been stated, stuck to, or achieved.
1) Nobody ever defined what "denazification" or "demilitarization" will mean exactly, thus one has to be an absolute imbecile to claim objectives were "clearly stated".
2) Those terms have also long been dropped, which only the most desperate Putin fanboys can deny at this point
3) There can be no denaizification and demilitarization without occupying the whole of Ukraine. Again, only a complete idiot could think otherwise.
4) Putin has never set that as an objective though. And then Putin retreated even from the terms he stated in June 2024, because now nobody is mentioning Kherson and the Zaporozhye either.
5) Whatever way one imagines "denazification" and "demilitarization", there is no way to deny that Ukraine has been heavily further militarized and nazified as a result of four years of SMO.
” Russia's objectives have been clearly stated repeatedly and without variance over the years.”
Exactly the problem.
Clearly stated but with insufficient content.
And when the Western world turns against you, attack you Motherland, assassinate people all over Russia, I think you need not only variance, you need a Strategy.
Russia has a strategy - they just don't share it with you.
This is war - shit happens - sometimes your own people and land get attacked - sometimes people get killed - sometimes your energy facilities are attacked. What would be incredibly unusual is if none of that happened.
After four years it is clear that Russia has been forced to adapt to the enemies strategies.
You can say that Russia is using a strategy, the old one. Take a punch, take two, be resilient, dont give up. Starve, suffocate and die but dont give up. Count on your own population. Sheer number will secure that you dont have to give up.
You are mistaking this for Ukraine, not Russia. Russia's General Staff is known for their strategic military expertise. You see what is going on and you interpret through your own perspective and biases - we all do. Your view simply does not match what is known and proven over generations of Russian military policy.
And the enemy does not have a strategy except to do whatever necessary today to be able to fight tomorrow.
" sometimes your own people and land get attacked - sometimes people get killed - sometimes your energy facilities are attacked."
These things are happening every day, hundreds of times. Of course all these things happen in war on a frequent basis. It is traditional, however, to fight back in an attempt to minimize them. That's the part the brilliant strategy of Russia seems to have omitted.
” Russia attacked Ukraine unprepared and without the resolve to do what had to be done.”
Which should be clear for everyone by now…
Whatever ”morale” leverage Russia had regarding their Russian speaking borthers and sisters in Ukraine is gone after fours years of indecisive fighting and bloodletting.
Nope. Russia did an attack against Ukraine with the purpose to derail the sinister plans US&NATO had. You can cal it pre-emptive but nevertless an attack.. Justified but ill-prepared and executed..
"The SMO was ill-conceived with no clear objective." The objectives have been laid out dozens of times since the start. You must have your head deeply buried in the sand for a very long time not to have seen them... Chip
It was in response to: ”Russia attacked Ukraine unprepared and without the resolve to do what had to be done.”
They did what they could do with what they had at the time. Without a clear and present danger to Russia itself there was a limit to what the population would stand for. Or at least I assume that was their perception. They were able to do a lot of preparation economically, just not militarily.
Even if Russia hadn't had only eight years to prepare, it doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters and Russia has not won, at least not yet.
They can't even make a deal, the US is so busy killing or trying to kill Russia's negotiators. Letting Zelensky survive after last week is utterly shameful.
Same modus operandi that Israel has used against Hamas and Hezbollah leadership and negotiators. Tells you everything you want to know about who runs the US.
Certainly. I understood your point. The Euros are starting to grovel about sending envoy's to Moscow. Putin should hasten it by punishing a few NATO installations. Plenty in the measly Baltics available for a Kalibre or Iskander strike.
I believe Russia knows that Europe will never stop attacking, and they know that they will likely have to fight Europe directly, but first they have to put away Ukraine, unburdened by direct confrontation with Europe.
Russia is fighting this war in their own way and winning - they don't make war decisions based on emotion or desire for revenge - they just suck it up and keep on the road of destruction.
Russia isn’t winning, and they aren’t fighting a “war,” remember? This is a “special military operation.” Special in the sense that it’s cool for hostile super powers to bomb them daily, wage assassination campaigns against them, humiliate them repeatedly, destroy their friends, and encircle them with enemies. Very special. All that remains is to make the deal Putin has been desperate to make that would insure it would never end. They’re on the road of destruction, all right. On that we agree.
The SMO is against Ukraine. The "war" is against the West. Russia must secure Ukraine above all at the moment, so they must concentrate on fulfilling their objectives even in the face of European efforts to bleed and destroy them. I believe Russia knows full well that it will likely end up having to fight Europe directly. Once Ukraine is wrapped up and Russia's borders secured, then Europe might well have the opportunity to see what it feels like to be on the wrong end of a Russian advance. Russia is already preparing for that, and it won't be the same as a Special Military Operation - it will be all out war.
You might think Russia isn't winning, but you would be seriously wrong.
Iran has two potent and unstoppable weapons against a real US strike...It has threatened to hit Tel Aviv with its hypersonic missiles, and it can close the Strait of Hormuz in mere hours, propellling gas prices in the West into the stratosphere and creating a possible depression..
.I vote to draft Mark Levin, hand him a rifle, and invite him to join the IDF in invading Iran...
Iran can easily do what Ansar Allah did in the Bab el Mandeb and blockade "unfriendly" cargo. It seems the US is gearing for a blockade so we may see a counter blockade in the Straits.
First there will be naval exercises joining Iran, Russia and China. Later joint naval exercises with India and Iran. Maybe, quietly the number of non-US naval ships in the region will increase.
Charlie Kirk allegedly visited the Whitehouse to persuade Trump not to attack Iran back in June. Now that he is out of the way, the warmongering can proceed only slightly behind schedule.
Thank you for the link to the truth-teller. I have bookmarked it. I was actually kind of 'frozen' after listening. I know about the elites and their view of those beneath them as pawns and trash. Hearing the woman put the scope of their devilry all together was, well..it froze me. As a horrid example of their disdain for others--how it is transferred to orcs that do their bidding, here is a report:
The Epstein files? Israel is being exposed to the US public opinion and world wide, despite the spinning to... blame it on Putin... Thank you GM. At the same time they feel they are the closest to total victory they will ever be. Their sexual blackmail leverage of the US has been dismantled, framing the narrative field for further developments. With the current apparently small air deployment against Iran, I would bet on a new phony attack Trump style. Only in the Maduro operation 150 aircraft were allegedly employed. At the same time the siege pression on Iran is going to stay until the country's leadership cracks. This is a new way of warfare Trump inaugurates. Winning wars by a combination of economic siege, insider bribery, bogus negotiations and information confusion.
The Fire Horse arrives shortly, mid month, so some say.❤️🐴🔥 The chaos is beginning to ramp up; what will be the dark horse event, one or many, no matter. The Love & Spiritual Revolution continues. The Sun rises in the East and… sets in the West. Godspeed💙🇮🇳🇨🇳🇷🇺❤️
Epstein said that two Chinese diplomats he met said "Beware the Jewish dog" to each other. But that would be actually very awkward to say in Chinese, if they wanted to drop slurs on him it they'd call him a "ghost", not a dog.
Speculation is that what they actually said was "打狗看主人", "Da Gou Kan Zhu Ren", meaning to look who the owner is before beating a dog, or to look at who his backers are before getting involved with him.
Incidentally, the phrase also sounds like "Jew" and "dog".
This is to say that a lot of the global elites are incredibly sophomaric in their thinking, making big plans based off half baked impressions and dabbling in complex topics.
I read Epstein saying that they looked at him "AS IF TO SAY Beware the Jewish dog". He also mentioned a blond female assistant fluent in three dialects. It's possible but very unlikely that she was picking up any unguarded conversations.
It was the Jews who were all too keen to regime change a bunch of countries in the Middle East using America as their hammer, causing.....ummm, refugees to flee to Europe? Cause and effect. It was the Jews who ran the Epstein kompromat operation on American politicians. It was Israel the greatest beneficiary of September 11. It is the Jews who infiltrate the "Alt Right" political movements in Europe and steer them into anti Islam movements, using refugees as scarecrows. It is Jews who lobby the West to accept hordes of undocumented migrants - but not Israel. The double standard is exemplary. Remember, the American and Israeli Zionists destabilized the Middle East, causing terrorism and refugee crises. And then they play the victim. This is their schtick. I do not distinguish between these types of Zionists and SJWs - both live on victimhood and welfare handouts.
Cause and effect is not explored in Western lamestream media. They parrot Zionist talking points, using Islam as the bogeyman.
If Zionists left Muslims alone and not destroyed their societies, white people in Europe would be doing well. Muslims would be doing better in their homes, not needing to escape as refugees. But the Jews would be very miserable in that reality.
All of that is both to be expected and (in a very general way, at the level of societies, don’t take it personally) well deserved.
In contrast to your experience, every time I’ve been robbed, intimidated or had people shitting outside my front door it’s always been some English fuck. How’s that for anecdotal, eye of the beholder kind of evidence? And I’m not even lying.
😂 Whatever lets you sleep at night mate. A night in Belfast in the 70s would’ve cured you of all these fantasies. For that matter any Saturday night in Manchester in 2026 will do. Europeans and Americans practically taught the rest of the world the meaning of mayhem. The Dutch you say? Riiight.
It’s very easy to be civilised when your country commands a disproportionate part of the world’s resources, and American can’t even manage that, only country in the world where school children get slaughtered on a regular basis, never heard of that happening in India.
Peace talks with the US on a Friday are dangerous. I was surprised there wasn't an attack.
Spraytan Orangeman won't do shit until after the Super Bowl. Can't have 'Muricans distracted from their bread and circuses.
Right, US culture is hard to comprehend:) When does that finish?
Game is tonight. This is superbowl weekend so I really didn't expect the attack now... Chip
From ZeroHedge this morning:
An eye-opening and massive number of C-17 Globemaster military transport and cargo planes have been observed heading to Europe and the Middle East, in what some monitors have forewarned looks like the build-up to major war in Iran.
One regional watcher and pundit commented in response: "112 C-17s are in or on their way to the Middle East. Guys, that’s a lot. Like Desert Storm a lot. Stay tuned."
The US is doing it again - encouraging talks with Iran so they can have the time to further build up their forces for the attack. That is why they were willing to back off their original negotiation demands.
I hope Iran is watching all this - I'm pretty sure they are.
What about Europeans watching their football? Truly one of the most boring sports to watch and the acting everytime a player is touched, ridiculous. I am going to a super bowl party. Watching the political shit show in this country is beyond any rational, what so ever. They are all actors. Zelensky, Trump, botox barbie, superman Pete. And the constant chem-trails/weather modification. Was religion designed to keep us pacified as we watch the evil plunder the planet and humanity to oblivion? Just watched the movie "Oblivion ". That is what the end game is.
Sport is appealing to the viewer if you have an emotional attachment to it, football also called soccer is actually football using your feet only . Americans and australians play handball with the option of using the feet So you cant compare American Handball and Real Football which requires a greater skill with the feet.
Football is a very difficult and skilfull activity, and produces moments of electrical beauty from time to time.
Its greatest exponents, eg Maradona, Yashin, Ronaldo, Cruyff, George Best, Gazza Gascoigne, even the benighted Beckham, have produced displays which can get tens of thousands on their feet cheering, and especially when things go down to the wire, and a team which was behind comes back in a last-ditch victory.
Doubtless Mr Scholten has never heard of any of these people, and so is ill advised to speak about the finer points of the game, or its principal exponents.
I well remember the tattooed one before he was tattooed and came under the oppressive influence of "she who must not smile" curling a free kick into the top right corner of the net over the heads of the entire Greek team which was standing in front of him; thereby securing England's place in the World Cup a few years ago.
As to the tactical falling-downs sometimes seen, the greatest exponent of that art was the legendary Jurgen Klinsmann, but whatever else he was, he was the most unassuming of men when off the pitch, and used to ride around London in a beat-up old VW Beetle, thereby endearing himself to the native population, which has a natural distaste for the sort of ostentation frequently seen amongst these people.
Given that the "religion" you mention is no longer any sort of preoccupation for the vast majority - even if less so in the US, with its rampant judaism - then the perilous state of affairs at the moment was perhaps kept in check by it, and so we should pray for its return, lest a worse thing come upon us, as it is in fact doing.
Finished? Culturally, the US never 'started' in the first place, unless you mean Star Wars and baseball.
Don’t leave out jazz.
But the truth is that American culture has long since swept over and influenced much of the planet. Non-Americans may not recognize that reality, because they have been immersed in it all of their lives. And not to put too fine a point on it, but what is commonly called “American” culture is a smorgasbord of cultural practices and beliefs that have been brought to the United States over the centuries by its various immigrant peoples (and also contributed to by indigenous peoples of the North American continent).
Swept over the rest of the world? Like dumber and dumber, and to think, most of us thoight it was the Education System.
84 million illiterate in the usa
what? indigenous peoples? various immigrant peoples? Where are the bits of German, Swedish, Polish, Dutch, French, Italian cultures? Not to mention Native Americans. It´s only some strange mix of Anglosaxonian / Black/ Jewish culture, Christian zionist fundementalism and aggressive capitalism. What "American culture"?
Uncle Sam's former slaves, having built his bloated fortune on stolen land with illusory financing and pernicious, homicidal coercion, did, almost in spite of the overall situation, create the cultural form known as Jazz. I'd be more willing to credit the indominable spirit of the African American than I would 'the US', though - in the United States, Nazi Germany and the Soviet State, racial segregation hindered the spread of jazz, with Black musicians facing systemic barriers despite the music's popularity. In the US, jazz was not just discouraged; it was actively hunted, banned, and rebranded as dangerous by the racist elite of the US, if not Yankee substack cheerleaders desperate for a cultural win.
If you are suggesting that "non-Americans" (ie, 95% of the worlds population) consider a McDonalds on every corner, gun-fetishes, mass-shootings and obnoxious, gas-guzzling cars to be culture worth even considering, let alone participating in, you will need to put a much, much "finer point" on your vacuous navel-gazing to make any lasting point here.
Just because the US carpet bombs the planet unsolicited with its chintzy and saccharine baubles doesn't mean it has any intrinsic quality or lasting-meaning - its just more forms of the US's main export: fast, unhealthy food.
If sport is a major part of that, then England's contribution has been overwhelming.
Even the US' favourite pastime, ie "football, " has its origins in rugby football - but all dressed up as if they are going to a girls' night out, and protected from all harm.
If you want to see the real deal tune into the Six Nations championship which is ongoing at the moment.
Basketball and Scientology
Agreed. Being from the u..s and not a fan of u.s. football I forgot all about the diversion from the diversion. We in the u.s. are so illogical now it's hard to know what the truth is so I come here and places like this. Thankfully the Russian and Chinese people have been patient with we in the u.s. (now forever lowercase).
Don't despair. You have the "Gulf of America" to be proud of.
And Freedom Fries! Don't forget it was Bush Jr that reminded us that the "French don't even got no word for ' entrepaneur '!"
All because the Frogs didn't want to participate in the war on Iraq. Baby Bush should have been happy. No Frogs. No teaching other military units how to drop weapons and retreat.
Its sad and pitiful what Uncle Sam has fed to his own people: a rancid and toxic freedom that has been horribly warped into a murderous Empire.
It's all jewish in origin.
I have to admit that I am getting very hungry for an attack. The US is in desperate need of a humiliating defeat on a scale larger than that received at the hands of Ansar Allah. And whatever it takes for the sake of the world, israel needs to be wiped off the face of the earth, even if it ends with israel using nukes - it will take many deaths and sacrifices to excise this cancer from the world.
The Chosenites have been thrown out of whichever nations and cities they have parasitized on hundreds of occasions throughout history, but sooner or later, back they come, bearing their usual gifts of fiat currency so as to extort and bribe their way back into power.
Hitler was the last one to do it, but now everybody cravenly goes along with the jewish narrative about him, and nobody dares to openly embrace antisemitism, lest they are drowned beneath tsunamis of fake outrage.
But that is what it will take.
Who will be the first world leader to openly embrace it again?
We need to be careful of our terminology.
Firstly, both arabs and jews are semites.
Genetic studies have shown that while Ashkenazi Jews are related to the inhabitants of Palestine of Biblical times, the blood-relationship is far closer between present-day Palestinians and Biblical Jews.
This blows to pieces the racial theory purporting to support latter day colonisation of Palestine by immigrants professing the Jewish faith.
The only real, but highly questionable, claim these immigrant colonisers can therefore make is one based upon religion, not race.
Jewishness is based by tradition upon adherence to Judaism and only partially upon birth, i.e. having a Jewish mother. Having only a Jewish father does not automatically confer jewishness; although anyone can acquire it by adopting Judaism. Hence a certain number of Kazaks saw fit to become jews by adopting their religion, at a time when the Kazaks possessed a wealthy trading empire located between two mutually hostile and aggressive religions, Christianity and Islam.
Prior to the arrival of zionism, Jews, Arabs, and Chrisians co-existed peacefully side by side. And to this day, many orthodox Jews in present-day Israel are sympathetic to the Palestinian cause.
Secondly, it is necessary to distinguish between "Jewish" and "Zionist". These words are not synonymous. Zionism was founded in the German-speaking world by people born into the Jewish faith who rejected their religion and sought to persuade others of their community to do likewise, to abandon their 'jewishness' and to integrate into the Protestant community. Although many educated German Jews did integrate to a high degree into German society, overall the project failed and turned into something very different: the creation of an exclusively Jewish State based upon fabricated myths and what is said to be distorted Judaism. The location of this Jewish state was not originally fixed, but Palestine was eventually decided upon. This was made possible by the forthcoming removal of Ottoman rule from the Levant and a letter (later known as The Balfour Declaration) dated 2nd November 1917 from the British Foreign Secretary, Arthur Balfour, to Lord Rothschild in which he states:
"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."
The intended boundaries of Palestine were not specified, and the British government later confirmed that the words "in Palestine" meant that the Jewish national home was not intended to cover all of Palestine.
What prompted this Declaration is uncertain; but it was clearly aimed at zionists, who were influential in high-finance internationally.
Despite British successes in the Levant - Baghdad taken in March, Gaza in November - by late 1917 the Allies were staring at the prospect of imminent defeat. There had been widespread mutinies in some French armies. An offensive in Flanders by 50 British and 6 French divisions had advanced the line by a maximum of 6 miles, at a cost of about 300,000 casualties; drawing German reserves from weakened parts of the French lines. The Italian front was collapsing under attacks by German and Austrian armies. The Italians lost 650,000 men and 3,000 guns at Caporetto, requiring British and French reinforcements. Russian forces, demoralised by defeat, had been pushed back but not broken, and were still pinning down large numbers of the enemy after the March Revolution. But subsequent to the Bolshevic coup in November, things would change. Lenin was smuggled into Russia from Switzerland by the German High Command, and Trotsky was despatched there from the U.S. by his New York banker patrons… The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was not far off, in early March 1918, and would lead to massive German troop transfers and a breakthrough later that same month on the British 5th Army front. Finally thrown back at a cost of 863,000 casualties, roughly half French and half British, but including some 7,000 Portuguese and 5,000 Italians.
I assume you mean Khazars, not Kazaks.
But your lack of understanding as to what caused the Balfour letter to be issued is turned on its head by the simultaneity of its date, ie late 1917, and your statement that the Allies were facing battlefield defeat at the same time.
Victor ( no relation to our Victor ) Rothschild had persuaded HMG that if they issued the declaration, then US jews would conspire for the US to enter the war on the Allied side, and this is what of course then immediately happened, via the "unfortunate" sinking of the Lusitania.
There is of course, no "jewish faith" as such - it is a racist, supremacist ideology whose only god is Lucifer, and it is mediated via the repulsive rabbinic class.
"Jewish people do not like to admit it, but our god is Lucifer, and we are his chosen people."
( Harold Wallace Rosenthal, Congressional aide to Jacob Javits - before he met an untimely death for saying such a thing, which nobody from amongst them wished the goyim to know. )
The sinking of the Lusitania could hardly have had any very clear influence on U.S. entry into the War. Most public opinion in the U.S. remained resolutely opposed and that event took place in early May 1915. From a German perspective it was justified, as she was carrying munitions as well as passengers.
But of course the sinking would have played into the hands of the very persistent British propaganda effort, which slowly helped modify public opinion. Grossly exaggerated stories of German atrocities. Although they did commit some, against Belgian civilians, in the mistaken belief they were beibg fired on by francs-tireurs. It was the Zimmerman telegramme that finally tipped the balance for public opinion.
But the real reason, I believe, was the huge war debt Britain and France owed U.S. banks. When France could obtain no further credit, the U.K. was obliged to borrow on her behalf. They must not lose the War or there will be no repayment of the debt! And the crazy thing is, the precarious position of the Allies owed much to the Bolchevik Coup in November 2017 which pulled Russia out of the War, and which had been supported by U.S. business interests, including Jewish bankers!
Of course one can deny this by pointing out the U.S. entered the war in April 2017. But there was no significant number of American troops on the battlefield until the latter part of 1918. The Meuse-Argonne offensive kicked off on 26th September 1918.
I don't think much of the WW1 debt ever was repaid, because Britain and France were counting on Germany paying colossal reparations to them. The industrial north of France was not just war-torn but deliberately laid waste by the retreating German Army, so I was told. And Germany defaulted. The U.K. did however repay its WW2 debt making the final payments to the U.S. and Canada in 2006.
That's a bit like saying that a single striking match could not have had much influence on the subsequent conflagration in the Great Fire of London.
I accept your point, but that event caused much outrage in the US, despite your correct assertion that the vessel had been carrying munitions towards Britain, and thus was a legitimate target for Germany.
Thus there was a slow but unstoppable build up in pro war propaganda, doubtless inflamed by all the usual suspects, who saw it as a means of increasing profits in their factories, and for the shareholders in their banks.
Your reference to loans given, of course, points to the real reason behind every war - money, and who controls it, and benefits from it.
But contrary to your assertion, all loans were in fact repaid, the only exception being those made to the USSR.
Germany under Hitler repudiated reparations to the Allies - but only in 1933, after the accession of the new Reichskanzler.
As for the perception that the Zimmermann telegram finally triggered the declaration of war by the US - the writer's name probably tells us everything we need to know about its ultimate origin, and about the underlying zionist agenda for a "National Home for the jews" in Palestine.
Ah, see, you lost me right when you declared that “there is no Jewish faith as such…” While I am not myself a subscriber to it, history shows that it is as real as any other set of religious beliefs and practices, including those of Christianity and Islam, which descended from Judaism.
Now, slink back into your dark hole, and keep your dark thoughts to yourself.
No Jew, time for you to burn forever in feces and semen.
judaism is the bastard child of the Torah - it is based not on the words given to Moses, ie the Written Torah, but on the words given by the Seventy Elders to the jews, ie what you call the "Oral Torah," which includes every satanic perversion known to man, including such gems as "If your heart desires to do evil, then go into a town elsewhere, where your face will not be known," and "It is lawful for a jewish man to have sexual relations with a baby girl, as her hymen will grow back, and therefore it is merely as if one stuck a finger into her eye."
So the dark hole you refer to is the rear end of a man, which you were taught by your rabbis to be the appropriate place for you to deposit your seed, and as such, your fate will be that first visited upon Sodom and Gomorrah.
Ashkanazis are actually goyim too.
What passes today as "jews" is a real mix. As for israel, it is dominated by the repulsive Ashkenazi zionist. Whatever their origin, as a tribe they have been despised by countries all down history for their behaviour, which they never seem to question being always the victims rather than the perpetrators of chaos and destruction. The fact that few regions of the world have been able to tolerate their presence for long throughout history leaves one to wonder just what is wrong with these people - certainly they never ask themselves why they have been so disliked over the millennia, rather being content to consider themselves the perpetual victim.
I prefer the exegesis of jewish origins given by the brilliant Ron Unz (a jew):
https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-the-true-origin-of-the-jews-as-khazars-israelites-or-canaanites/
Thank you for that link.
I was once a regular reader of UNZ Review, but latterly he had dropped off my radar.
For easier reading when time permits, copy/pasted into my wordprocessor and deleted images. 26 pages remain.
[On later pages, text was struckthough: legible but irritating. Readily corrected by selecting blocks of text then going into
"FORMAT->Character->Font Effects->Strikethrough-> change from 'Single' to 'Without', then 'Reset']
A further complication that may warrant a mention:
"Messianic Jews" are those who have come to believe that Jesus the Christ is the true Messiah referred to in their ancient scriptures.
Because "Many are called, but few are chosen," the real truth about these individuals is commonly rejected, alongside all the other absolute truth contained within the pages of the Bible.
That truth explains explicitly who they are, and the revelation begins with the very first act of rebellion by the woman - ie one of that class of persons who are universally known for their desire to have anything and everything they are forbidden from having - in this case, Eve sought to possess not the fruit - but the serpent, and her wish was gratified, albeit at enormous cost; and Cain was the result.
He was, as are all those of his descendants, "Marked," and thus we see the effects of this mark in play even today, when nobody can now even speak unfavourably about them, despite their manifest and generational wickedness and depravity, as already referred to.
The Saviour and Creator of mankind referred to them as being of their father the devil - and He spoke literally, not figuratively.
And thus is hated and mocked, and was, in His day, crucified for the truth He told.
Who is this royal "We", you are speaking of?
The genetic ancestry of Ashkenazi Jews shows an interesting asymmetry between maternal and paternal lineages:
Paternal Lines (Y-chromosome)
Studies of Y-chromosome DNA show that Ashkenazi paternal lineages are predominantly Middle Eastern in origin. The most common haplogroups trace back to the Levant and are shared with other Jewish populations (Sephardic, Mizrahi) and Middle Eastern groups. This suggests that the founding male ancestors of Ashkenazi communities came from the Middle East.
Maternal Lines (Mitochondrial DNA)
The maternal ancestry is more complex and debated, but research suggests a significant European component:
• Many common Ashkenazi mtDNA lineages appear to originate in Europe, particularly southern and western Europe
• Some studies suggest around 80% or more of Ashkenazi maternal lineages may have European origins
• A smaller proportion traces to the Middle East
Historical Interpretation
This pattern suggests that when Jewish men migrated from the Middle East to Europe (likely during Roman and early medieval periods), there was intermarriage with local European women who converted to Judaism or joined these communities. Over time, as the communities became more isolated and endogamous, this mixed ancestry became the foundation for the Ashkenazi population.
This interpretation has been debated and refined as genetic techniques improve, but the basic pattern of more Middle Eastern paternal ancestry and more European maternal ancestry appears robust across multiple studies.
Hence claims by rabbis that the line being from the mother contradicts the findings of middle eastern ancestry
Interesting, of course.
However, going further back in time, we note that Noah was "pure in his generations," and thus had no Cainite blood in him, and thus was spared from the lethal effects of the Flood.
Whence then, the emergence of evil in Ham, who clearly "lay with his mother" immediately after this event, and produced a son who was cursed by God, and bore the same name as his evil ancestor?
Obviously, the Cainite contamination came via Noah's wife, whose name we are not given, although Chinese records do give her name, Gaw Bo Lu-En.
And thus the wisdom of the jewish sages, who trace their lineage through this same mother, and all the way back to the first, ie Eve - but for obvious reasons, they prefer not to say who their first father was.
Mirrors my comment down thread... Chip
Sadly, you may be right.
It will not "end" but start with nukes. Here's the actual Israeli plan for the coming war: it will begin with a massed nuclear strike on Tehran, Isfahan, and other Iranian cities by Israeli jets refueled by US airtankers, causing millions of civilian deaths, genociding the Iranian educated class, and collapsing Iran into a failed state. From that point on, the actual role of the US "armada" will be to blunt the desperate retaliation against Israel by whatever is left of Iran.
That is what Netanyahu is going to demand of Trump in their coming meeting on Wednesday, threatening him with unsurvivable kompromat if he refuses.
Even if it ends with Israel using nukes? I guess it’s an easy answer when those nukes are going to kill only those far away from your neighborhood!
No, I am saying that israel should not be allowed to exist as a zionist state under any circumstances. Hamas knew the possible consequences of striking israel on Oct 7 - that the Palestinian people would probably suffer hugely - but they also knew that it was necessary to clearly demonstrate to the world israel's true character and plant the seed that would in the end destroy the occupying entity. The Palestinians are martyrs to that worthy cause.
Their state project will die soon enough, no need to hope for nukes or wars that risk nukes., If 50 years passes their nukes will no longer work, because of age. I doubt they'll last that long though given their desire for destruction and given the loss of USA hegemony
"Peace" talks with USA at all, are dangerous and should never happen. USA doesn't want peace. it simply wants to subjugate others to its will. No sovereign country should agree to such talks with their aggressor.
That's the thing about hegemony, it guarantees you a seat at the big table.
Smoke and mirrors are all that is left of the country I was once somewhat proud of. The Iraq war ended us in the u.s. I assume the 38.7 Trillion in debt mainly DOD war debt not being invested in our people and infrastructure is the toothless ageing giant dying, war everywhere with everyone.
Subjugate is an interesting description. I don't think I agree. We in the u.s. no longer have that ability to subjugate countries even the size of Venezuela. Chaos creators, I think that is what we are in the u.s. We create chaos in our own country having ICE murder our own with little or no reason. Last year our population declined in the u.s. for the first time since the flu of 1918 I will not call it the Spanish flu it was not.
My Son asked me about leaving the u.s. , A Dir. of Microbiology who has lost his position with the elimination of FDA, EPA resulting in chaos at state levels.
I work in science, having worked at CERN, and DES and various Dark Matter experiments. Science in the u.s is no longer funded. Chaos is in almost all aspects of
life now. The healthcare system is broken, homeless children, education debt at 1.6
Trillion with many graduates not finding work that pays extremely high rents and
student loans. Sounds strange doesn't it? What I am saying doesn't fit with the Super Power narrative does it. Most of the students I work with are from foreign countries because students in the u.s know there is no future in science here.
I envy you : )
Science is a false hope, especially 'healthcare'. It is a god of the West, completely manufactured for the purpose of profits. It has been, for a very long time, corrupted. Did you never learn about 'snake oil salesmen'.
I would argue that there is no healthcare system in usa, there is medical care provided by large publicly traded medical institutions, run by 'experts' educated in a for-profit academic institution. We are required to purchase ' health insurance' from publicly traded corporations. Those who qualify for government financial assistance (including Medicare), have their premiums paid by other taxpayers. These three 'scientific' institutions ensure we never achieve good health. Where is the profit in that?
We are also required to eat the food the publicly traded companies 'make' in factories, and if we are lucky, we can eat the GMO fruits/veggies/wheat from the glyphosate enriched soil watered by the polluted water.
I could go on and on but why bother?
Consider all the 'scientists' (and wanna be scientists like Dr Bill Gates) with ties to Epstein. Exactly what experiments were performed in the lovely, private ranch in New Mexico?
Lol science is a false hope lol
"Our two biggest challenges are natural stupidity and artifical intelligence"
@Soujourner
Yes, for you, science WOULD be hopeless.
Meanwhile, the smart kids in class will get on with figuring out some useful stuff.
As I said, 'science' is a god in the West.

Science is a TOOL KIT for predicting things in the physical world.
Nobody who knows how to use a hammer, wrench or chainsaw worships tools, much as we enjoy having the expanded capabilities they can facilitate at our disposal.
OTOH, people who don't understand how their car or computer works might believe darned near anything and say absolutely ridiculous shite- People such as yourself (and most politicians).
There was a good faith effort at funding what we now call STEM after Sputnik for a good 20 years, even "pure" research got grant money, likewise during this time higher education wasn't priced out of reach of ordinary people's HS graduate children. That somewhat golden tinted age went by the board with the Reagan devolution.
Which devolution in US education was further accelerated by the "end" of the "cold war". I watched this happen during my college years, and now, after two generations of growing MBAs and making billionaires by looting existing productive businesses & moving paper instead of educating PhDs in such boring fields as physics, chemistry, math & engineering? Here we are.
It's really not the USA, it's members of a select group who run everything from behind the scenes. It's time for them to go.

Peace talks on a Friday are aptly timed: the muslims have to attend friday prayers at the mosque, so public activities are suspended in the early afternoon; saturday is Israel's sabbath, more suspended activities. meaning the negotiations (where the teams don't meet in person?) will go slowly. and sunday is of course, well, sunday... fresh start on monday!
Me too. Forgot about Super Bowl, I'm not much of a sports fan.

Boom Boom Tel Aviv - -
hahahaha - I'm getting war fever again -
Israel will get hit hard. It's clear that Iran has the ability to hurt them pretty badly.
yeah - I don't think Net's ready for the Samson Option yet. did you see this interesting video from The People's Voice - the part where Mel Gibson is explaining in detail the plans of the Zionists - https://youtu.be/GmreRPVWC7c
No. Thanks.... I guess. I don't know whether I have the stomach for it. I'm a citizen of a country with an early 20th century economic system and a perverted blackmailed narcissistic president who shits his pants.
Scary isn't it. I am hoping the Russian and Chinese people have some sympathy for we in the u.s. (forever lowercase now).
Watch out for Mel.
He apparently did a movie about child abuse in which he played the part of the abuser.
just acting (wink wink nudge nudge).
maybe you two are paid trolls because he speaks out against jews
So do I - but I don't act in pedo films as well.
He is not in the Epstein kompromat though---one of the few in Hollywood who are clean of that.
Maybe there's another group of them then, waiting to be exposed.
No decent man acts in movies of that sort.
I didn't see it however, I can only imagine the horror they want us all to experience so some can float in the Universe. I have news for them we are already in heaven : )
Standing on the mountain of Tololo seeing the most beautiful skies we are in heaven : )
Iran's mistake would be ending this before the end of the Zionist nation. The world is in danger.
Strange isn't it, I am hoping Iran saves the world. Without Tel Aviv looking like Gaza the world is in serious danger. There are many Epsteins.
Indeed. Like Mandelson. A Jew who Tony Blair put in government twice, and he twice had to leave because of scandals, one being taking bribes from an Indian billionaire.
Then he's STILL in the top Labour clique, leading the effort to ignore the Brexit referendum and stay in the EU. And Starmer makes him the ambassador to the U.S.
He was a buddy of the Jewish Rothschilds like Epstein, and Epstein paid him to get documents from the Labour government about future bank law, so Epstein and his fellow Jews could place their investments right. This is how they get rich.
Reminds me of Bloomberg. He sold a panel for those working in Wall Street. Then, a journalist writes, "for whatever reason" he got told in advance about what interest rate changes the Jew Greenspan's Federal Reserve would make. So everyone HAD to buy Bloomberg's panel. And that's how Bloomberg got rich.
"For whatever reason."
Trump knew about Mandelson. Yet he said that the Epstein files don't exist. Only the constant, building pressure from below, and the lead of people like Tucker Carlson, finally made him release the files. He claimed "Epstein is a Democrat conspiracy." Yet Mandelson, who is in the files, is a leftist, from the party that helped the Democrats go knocking doors before the last election. Trump lied to us, again.
But I digress.
>What other goodies might have been delivered?
Most likely very little.
If the US wants to go all in, Russia will have to enter the war directly to save Iran. Meaning the Oreshniks with nuclear warheads should be moving towards North Ossetia, and some SSNs should be shadowing US subs in the Arabian sea, waiting for shit to start.
But Russia refuses to fight even to defend itself, so how do you imagine that happening?
BTW, Iran's position here is admirable -- any attack on Iran means regional war and CENTCOM is gone.
Putin was supposed to do the same -- any NATO strikes on Russian territory and NATO in Europe will be erased from the face of the planet.
But the ayatollah did and Putin didn't.
And NATO is firing point blank into Belgorod every other hour.
That difference is also why the Iranians never trusted the Russians. And focused on developing their own capabilities instead. But to deter the US you need ICBMs with nukes on them, and not just one, but a sufficient number of those, plus making it crystal clear to everyone that they will be fired upon the first transgression committed. Iran hasn't put those things together publicly yet.
P.S. There is also the forgotten story of Cuba, which is under blockade. And neither Russia, nor China are doing anything to help it. Russia is an understandable situation -- the Whites did a counter-revolution there four decades ago and are still in power, so naturally helping Red Cuba isn't high on their agenda. Which is why the Cubans, remembering the betrayal of the Yeltsin years, have kept their distance ever since. But China has absolutely no excuse.
Why would Russia need to become directly involved in the conflict between the US and Iran? Iran is a huge mountainous country with 90 million people having the experience of war. The US couldn't defeat tiny North Korea, North Vietnam or the Taliban in the Hindu Kush. What hope would they have, alone, of defeating the Iranians in the Zagros Mountains? Russia and China would only need to give diplomatic cover and some material support. The US won't even have a staging area for troops and any bombing campaign would involve complicated logistics involving aerial refueling and aircraft flying extremely long distances to the edge of their ranges to target any meaningful facilities. Then their is the "theory" or SEAD strikes, where no US pilot has ever flown against capable air defense. Added to that they will be flying platforms like the F35 and F22 though heavily marketed have almost never flown into airspace with capable air defense. Probably all the simulation will be proven correct but then it must be considered they are flying into airspace with limited intelligence not knowing the capabilities of the Iranians and where those defenses are located. This creates an extremely out of control situation with an extremely steep learning curve.
Because USSR something, something
>Why would Russia need to become directly involved in the conflict between the US and Iran?
For the same reason it had to use nukes if necessary to save Syria and it had to intervene on Armenia's side in Karabakh -- Russia's own existence is on the line.
Which, if you look at the map (but armed with sufficient knowledge of the history and culture of the various regions you see on it, which doesn't seem to be the case), you should easily be able to see.
But Russia didn't intervene in those cases.
It doesn't do anything even to defend itself from NATO bombardment.
>What hope would they have, alone, of defeating the Iranians in the Zagros Mountains?
Nobody is planning on doing that. What hope did they have to defeat the Venezuelans in the Andes and in the jungles of the Orinoco delta? None, it was going to be like Vietnam had the Venezuelans fought. But what happened in the real timeline? Well, we know what happened.
And it happened precisely because Russia and China didn't provide sufficient support.
What happened in Venuzuela other than the Venuzuelan president was given up to prevent the genocidal US bombing of Caracas? Do you believe their is a hope in hell the same thing will happen in Iran? The US does not have any control over Venuzuela. The only way the US can control Venuzuela is through a military occupation needing hundreds of thousands to millions of troops.
Russia couldn't save Syria if the Syrian people were unwilling to save themselves. The Russians played the geopolitical game that was in their best interest. Russia is about protecting Russia and Russians. With that said an open war against the US would not be protecting Russians especially if the alternative is to endure pinpricks knowing NATO and Western nations are economically declining to point of being merely nuisances.
>The US does not have any control over Venuzuela.
You are clearly not following the news.
>Russia couldn't save Syria if the Syrian people were unwilling to save themselves
2024 came after everything that happened between 2011 and 2023. The war did not start in 2024. But again, if you knew the history, you would not be writing these things.
And because you don't know the history, you also post this:
>With that said an open war against the US would not be protecting Russians especially if the alternative is to endure pinpricks
Russia is being dissected right now exactly the same way Syria was. The scale is different, but the method is the same.
Sorry my friend it is difficult to follow your delusional rambling it's as if your programming crashed. I don't follow Western Mainstream Media, they lie, spin, and frame opinions/narratives as fact. My knowledge is based on history, that you claim I don't understand though you demonstrate you don't know much, geography, geopolitics, economics, natural law, maths etc. not listening to talking heads spouting nonsense. Though you can continue spouting nonsense as you generally do. Not my place to correct the Dunning Kruger effect.
Don’t waste your time with GM….just scroll on by. He’s a fool or a troll or both.
Sorry but you Putin apologists twist and contort in your apologies for the Kremlin regime.
"Russia is being dissected".
Really?
The Americans de facto control the oil trade of Venezuela which is clearly too frightened to take on the US military. Like all apologists for Moscow you are unable to put this in the context of the new cold war and how defending your allies is critical to your own long term survival.
As I see it, the Russian authorities think that it is China that needs the Latinamerican oil and minerals. They will not oppose the US in that region.
The Chinese are obviously becoming stronger year after year. They are patiently waiting their time.
Just because the US is the world's policeman, doesn't mean Russia needs to be the world's protector. Generally, a country with a population of 30+million, with internal cohesion is very hard to invade and control, even with boots on the ground. The US is playing whack-a-mole trying to keep every country following their their directives. First get Venezuela to halt oil shipments to China, but China pivots to Canadian oil. Next get Iran to halt oil shipments to China, but Iran isn't interested.
Trump's capture of Maduro isn't like Cortés capture of God-King Moctezuma II. Without their navy to seize oil tankers, the US would have no influence on Venezuelan oil exports. US naval vessels at Venezuela means the naval forces threatening Iran are smaller than used against Ansarallah. The US forces are being spread thinly.
China appears to have banned investment in Israel, is sending 5 destroyers while Russia is sending 2.
>Just because the US is the world's policeman, doesn't mean Russia needs to be the world's protector.
It's not about protecting the world, it's about protecting yourself.
You know why 2-4 full HIMARS salvos have been hitting Belgorod every few hours for several days now? And why Putin was attacked by 91 drones in Novgorod?
Because in 1989-1991 the Russian elites decided that they don't need to be the world's protector and gave up all their allies, all their buffer space, and even much of their own territory.
There would be no HIMARS firing into Belgorod if the Red Army was still in Rostock, Magdeburg and Erfurt. Drones would not be able to reach Novgorod either.
It's that simple -- if you are dealing with an expansionist genocidal entity, the only way to not fight it on your own territory is to fight it somewhere else.
Well, those are indeed ancient Slav lands. The Caucasus isn't, but the former GDR is.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obotrites
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veleti
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutici
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorbs
But that wasn't the point -- when the Red Army threatened the Fulda Gap nobody claimed the GDR was Slavic land
I struggle to understand how you seem to have a view the Russia is both fragile, unable to tolerate the attacks on Russia soil, and powerful, capable of ending the war in Ukraine quickly while launching attacks on the EU and US, while simultaneously deploying their military to protect any anti-US country.
Russia's limited capabilities mean they need to prioritize - shield important countries like Belarus, Georgia and go to war in Ukraine, while offer limited help to enemy of my enemy countries like Cuba, Syria and Venezuela. Russia doesn't depend on these countries economically, and they are not important for defending Russian territory. Geopolitics changes - Syria rejected Russian and Iranian assistance trying to improve relations with the Gulf states and the West. Iran delayed signing the military agreements with Russia because they didn't want to be too close.
>I struggle to understand how you seem to have a view the Russia is both fragile, unable to tolerate the attacks on Russia soil, and powerful, capable of ending the war in Ukraine quickly while launching attacks on the EU and US, while simultaneously deploying their military to protect any anti-US country.
Because your foundational assumptions are false.
In this case your are assuming that Russian leadership works for the interests of Russia the country. It doesn't, it works for the interests of the Russian leadership itself and a few hundred oligarchs.
Once you correct your foundational assumptions it will all become clear.
P.S. The Soviet block was more objectively powerful than the West. It had the physical resources, the West didn't, and the West had just gone bankrupt in the 1970s and 1980s, what remained was for the process of bankruptcy to unfold. And yet what happened in the real timeline? Soviet leadership betrayed its own country.
Why do people think things have completely (or in any way) changed since then?
" Cortés capture of God-King Moctezuma "
The story I have is Moctezuma was killed by his own people for being too soft against Cortez. Maybe you are thinking of Pizarro's capture of the god-king of the Inca?
I meant after the Spanish had Moctezuma under house arrest, they used him to order the Aztec to hand over large amounts of gold. Pizarro would have been another excellent example of capturing the leader meant control of the populace.
What China and Russia don't seem to realize, with each created failed country around them allows the dying Empire to continue pretending and that is dangerous for the world. I am not sure if anyone knows what happens next. We shall see.
The Russian's have plans upon plans upon plans. "The Russian's don't take a dump without a plan son"... Chip
Whatever your position, this is an extremely interesting exchange of viewpoints. Thanks for posting.
The US now has the discombobulator on its side.
Yes I heard the president proclaim it the greatest weapon of modern times.......I am sure the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, North Koreans are drafting articles of capitulation to US greatness.
Trump got everything he wanted with a 3-hour operation, Venezuela ended as a sovereign country, Russia and China suffered a major geopolitical defeat, and people are still laughing at Trump because that's just what they always default to instead of looking at the ugly objective reality for what it is...
US oil companies don't believe Trump controls Venezuela. They refuse to make long term investments, as they would face sabotage now, and cancellation of any agreements once the US navy departs. I don't think the limited control the US has now will last beyond Trump's administration.
I kind of figured the "discombobulator" was Trump, he certainly does seem to discombobulate a whole bunch.
Cubans on the ground at the time, and who survived, spoke of people falling over with blood coming out of their ears, and being totally disorientated, so the device seems to be slightly more dangerous than just listening to Donnie's blather.
Probably some sort of update on the crowd control devices the US deploys, and has done for a decade or two.
It was a joke, son!
Sorry dad.
I'm a bit dense sometimes.
‘Why would Russia need to become directly involved in the conflict between the US and Iran?’
It is not Russia but rather China who will have no choice but to get involved. Fifty percent of China’s imported oil comes from nations around the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz. America’s greatest dream is to floor or at least control the Chinese economy and by controlling the Strait this can be achieved. That means China will have no option but to fight a war against the US stretching from Taiwan to the Strait of Hormuz. If Japan and South Korea will get involved in this conflict that will turn this into the greatest naval warfare of all times. Russia will try to replace the oil losses for China through Mongolia and from Vladivostok but this will be a time consuming act.
FWIW: China is rapidly electrifying. IIRC, they installed the equivalent of the US grid in the last year. (seems fantastic) They are stocking up on oil. While they do currently get a lot from the Persian Gulf, they also have other options.
IOW, while the situation is not good it isn't dire.
Of course, much of this depends on many other factors.
People in the u.s. never knew the real history of Japans involvement in WW2 with the u.s. We in the u.s. embargoed oil to Japan. Japan had no choice but to first attack the u.s. Navy. When that failed, they failed it was only time. That is the plan for China. We are not creative in the u.s. with a failed education system.
Pearl Harbor 1941 that was exactly the horror story I had on my mind. I was just reluctant to spell it out because Americans grew up with fairy tales and it takes a lot of effort to educate them. Problem is that this time the numbers connected to the military and the economy will be greater on the other side.
China cannot and will not do jack.
I think they have provided dual use technologies. The US is uncertain about attacking, and Iran is confident enough to reject talks on their missiles and support of regional forces. China banned investment in Israel, and Chinese companies will probably start avoiding Israel knowing the government frowns on it, which will hurt Israel. These actions seem weak in comparison to the Chinese military deploying, but will probably be enough to tip the scales.
A lot of "probably."
Excellent analysis by Seeker! Western commentators or those influenced mainly by media and literature in the West demonstrate permanent thought damage from delusional Eurocentric and Atlanticist syndrome! Even with good intentions, they fall back into simplistic myopic explanations based on hidden delusional biases including overestimating or taking for granted the military strength of American imperialism (instead of dynamic historical analysis), and conversely underestimate the ability of Iranians to not only be able to defend themselves but also to humiliate the empire. And their ignorance also leads them to disregard the dynamic nature of the alliance, cooperation, and preparations for various scenarios between Iran, Russia, and China depending on specifics or extent of any attack on Iran.
I don't think Russia has any excuse either. They don't have to like them, they just have to save them.
The strength of BRICS+ is each country is largely self-reliant militarily with domestic arms industries, large enough populations, and functioning economies. Unlike US vassals, they do not depend on daddy Trump or other country to save them.
Russia doesn't have to play world policeman. Countries the US has invaded, like Afghanistan, return to self-determination after the US leaves. They can't afford boots on the ground, so their control is temporary and limited.
BRICS+ nations do support each other financially. Russia and China ignore US sanctions on Iran, and supplying Iran with dual-use technology. China has banned investment in Israel, which should scare Israel, as China is Israel's main supply partner, and China's coercive trade tactics are devastating, as the US, Australia and Lithuania found out.
Meanwhile Russia’s friends keep getting neutered and the number of its enemies multiplies. Supporting Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Syria… isn’t acting as “world policeman.” It WOULD be protecting countries that are friendly and important to its security while it is in a world war. But Russia obviously wants to join the other side.
Russia's limited capabilities, and the fact there are no permanent allies, only interests, means Russia needs to prioritize. Countries like Georgia, Belarus, Ukraine and various -stans are high priority for Russia, whereas Syria, Cuba and Venezuela are enemy of my enemy type friends, cold war era thinking that doesn't apply well in a multi-polar world.
Venezuela turned to Russia in response to US sanctions, but have no other common interests. China could have acted to protect their Venezuelan oil supply, but the unanticipated actions of the US and the speed left little time to react. Now Canada is defying the US and supplying oil to China, are they Russian and Chinese friends? No.
The US oil companies don't believe the US rules Venezuela. They wont invest in infrastructure knowing that in 5 years when Trump is gone, they'll lose their investment. I suspect Venezuelan hostility to the US is enough for them to sabotage any infrastructure now.
Loss of Syria doesn't really affect Russian security - the Mediterranean is a NATO lake, and Turkiye is emerging as the protector of Syria.
Iran is a strategic ally, and needs to be protected by both China and Russia, and whatever aid they had provided seems to have made Iran confident enough to restrict talks to nuclear enrichment only.
"cold war era thinking that doesn't apply well in a multi-polar world."
What do you mean by this? are you contrasting cold war to hot war? or suggesting that cold war doesn't happen in a multipolar world? Because Russia is in a hot war, and the world doesn't look all that multipolar yet, and in any case Russia needs friends because it is being encircled by enemies and attacked by drones from many directions.
You say Iran is a strategic ally but say loss of Syria doesn't affect Russian security. In fact the loss of Syria both wiped out a country that was defending its airspace from Israel, making it much harder to attack Iran, and the loss of Syria also meant that a large hoard of Soviet era weapons went to Ukraine, causing yet more Russian death. We'll see how bold Iran is in time - they're making offers right now they have no business making as Russia tries to help them capitulate (offering to take custody of the enriched Uranium). And we'll see how justified such Iranian boldness as there is is justified. The negotiations continue, and the US hasn't even killed the current set of Iranian negotiators yet, so things are obviously just getting started.
Venezuela was not an oil play - at least not for current possession and use. It was helpful to put Cuba in a terrible spot though and narrowed China's oil options a little. Venezuela was Russia's largest trading partner in South America. No biggie, right? cause Russia is just swimming in money.
I don't say Russia is doomed, but I do say it is losing, and the war is being disastrously mismanaged. I think you said you'd be shocked if there have been 200,000 KIA for Russia (I think that was you). I wouldn't be, but deaths happen in wars, especially wars that last several years. This one should have ended long ago.
Cold war thinking sees countries as tokens lost and gained by two opposing forces - USSR/NATO. Countries have more agency now, are not pawns, and instead of two massive powers, we have more regional powers. This new found independence must frustrate those thinking in traditional terms - Canada defying the US and trading oil with China? They can't do that! I wouldn't be surprised if Latin American countries start rejecting the roles assigned to them under the Monro doctrine and trade with whoever they like.
Brazil is Russia's largest trading partner in S America. Venezuela is 99th, so yes, no biggie.
https://www.worldstopexports.com/russias-top-import-partners/
Syria is geographically too far from Russia for it to be a strategic loss. There are sunk costs from when Syria was crucial to the USSR. Syria's loss threatens Iran. China doesn't advertise aid, and the next few weeks will be interesting.
>Loss of Syria doesn't really affect Russian security
WTF am I reading?
What wars did Russia fight in the 1990s?
And what is happening in Azerbaijan and Central Asia now?
And you don't see how Syria being taken over by ISIS affects all that?
The loss of Syria affects Iran, not Russia. Geographically Syria is far from Russia, Azerbaijan is different, being much closer to Russia.
Interesting. Waiting until there is a bombing campaign is far to late. I agree with you. In fact if that doesn't happen the world is in danger.
Oh look. The same boilerplate pseudo-argument yet again. Don't you ever get bored of being a blowhard?
I made this ANALYSIS - back in July 5, 2025 Simps Substack - nobody believed me and Iran does not need Russia. Respect to Iran and Yemen the only 2 countries sticking it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Most analysts haven't made the obvious conclusion, even Simplicious. There was no US air-strikes in Iran.
It seems rather rudimentary when one looks at the facts (open-source), the math, and reasons from it.
🔴 Iran has possessing of domestic hyper-sonic ballistic missile technology that is equal or better to many of Russian and Americans weaponry that range in distances from 35km-2000km. Launches military satellites into low earth-orbit. Possesses IRBM, ICBM missile tech e.g. Khorramshahr-3/4.
🔴 Iran has been lodging missiles and drones at Israel relentlessly, mostly counter-force strikes, hitting many of Israel's military installations with precision, e.g. air defenses. Full unmolested penetration for 12days non-stop.
🔴 Central Tel Aviv is 1,000 miles (1,600km) distance from Tehran. Some missiles were said to be 'Oreshnik' like, breaking the atmosphere.
🔴 1 mile = 5,280 ft. 1,000 miles = 5,280,000 ft
B2's surface ceiling altitude of 50,000-60,000 ft (9.5-11.4miles above ground) to drop munitions in active military operation.
🔴 We are led to believe, 10-20 juicy targets (B2 and jets-media report) over Iranian airspace for 1-2hrs, Iran was blinded, couldn't hit, staged, etc, a mere 12miles distance, when they are hitting over 1,000 miles with precision? People will believe any Bullshit the US spits out....
🔴 In summary, Iran has proven that it is capable of hitting and controlling high-altitude objects specifically high value stealth drones.
..
I believe these US bombers, jets NEVER entered Iranian airspace and NEVER did any sorties, or bombing runs.
..
It was complete classified 'fake' theater, pr-stunt for the western audience.
I'm of the same opinion, which is confirmed by the orange Hitler's stance concerning iranian nuclear capabilities. Had they been "decimated" or whatever the orange idiot claimed at the time of the theater strikes on Iran, he would not be talking about Iran's nuclear capabilities again, as an excuse for further aggression towards Iran.
Also, this is the USA we are talking about here...a country filled with very dumb and supremacist people, that think they can do whatever they want and always have to have the last "word". The fake attack was just that. USA and Israel were getting hammered by Iran and could not sustain more of it and had to request a ceasefire. But because they must have the last word, the fake strike was conjured out of thin air to deceive the north american idiots and the orange Hitler declared the 12-day war over, and that USA "won"...The idiots believed it and USA "won" another war they created, just not on the battlefield, only on the propaganda side of things.
Scroll past incoherent putin bad blah blah drivel as usual. Didn’t realise self lobotomy was a thing.
For my understanding: are you talking about GM here or Mark Rutte?
Applies in both cases as both are congenital village idiots
Takes one to know one
Which village are you from
China's failure is pathetic and self defeating. It has the largest number of naval ships in the world and could send some of them to the Caribbean to deliver vital aid to Cuba. Moscow could deliver life saving aid to Cuba in conjunction with the Chinese but both seem unwilling to take action which is in their long term interests.
The fact that you believe that this is in their long-term interest does not make it so. I would suspect (just guessing here) that the Chinese leadership has access to a lot more information than you do, not to mention responsibility for a billion people.
China is easily bottlenecked.
How?
People such as Peter Zeihan mention that and never go into detail.
China has both a gigantic Pacific coastline and a huge Eurasian land border.
You can't just put a fleet in the straits of Malacca and blockade a nation that is the largest trade partner of 75% of the world's nations.
The lamd border is underdeveloped. The coastline is easily bottlenecked, in that the US controls all chokepoints in out of China, not to mention the ooena sea.
That's just ridiculous.
To claim that the US controls all the choke points in and out of China, let alone the open seas is just a declaration of faith, not a real assessment of actual facts.
Here's just one small example of what I mean by actual facts, I don't really have time to run through all of China's naval power and strategy with you.
Fiery Cross Reef is a Chinese military base more than 1200km from the mainland. It not only has a radar station and hardened bunkers but also a 3km long air strip capable of handling its heavy bombers such as the Xi'an H6.
The H6K variant has a combat range of 3,500km and can carry a wide array of stand-off munitions including anti-ship weapons such as the YJ-12 (warhead up to 500kg range up to 500km) and the YJ-21 (range up to 1,500km) Specific performance is unknown but these weapon systems aren't myths, they're real.
So I'm calculating that China is perfectly capable of reaching out and touching someone in a very forceful manner >5,000km from its coastline.
There is no "Bottling Up" that.
The US could ATTEMPT to blockade China, and shut down the world's economy, and that attempt would later be called by the survivors "World War Three".
Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, etc..
The US controls all the chokepoints only if China does not fight back.
If China fights back, the US will lose control of the chokepoints. But it would help if at least Iran joins the war.
Thus the reciprocal obligaiton
Dividing the world into enemies and friends is Cold War thinking that doesn't apply in a multi-polar world. Each countries limited resources means they need to prioritize. China will go to war over Taiwan and North Korea, Russia will over Belarus and Georgia, but they don't have enough economic and strategic interests to help Cuba. Enemy of my enemy friendships are not strong enough.
China - Cuba bilateral trade was $862.44 million in 2023.
How could Putin erase NATO from the earth without a nuclear war that would destroy Russia and the rest of the world as well? You fault Putin for not doing that?
Putin can't enter the war on Iran's side against the U.S. and Israel for the same reason - it would be an attack on a NATO country and lead to the same war.
"Russia is an understandable situation -- the Whites did a counter-revolution there four decades ago and are still in power, so naturally helping Red Cuba isn't high on their agenda."
That was a Soviet bankruptcy, as Gorbachev admitted. Gorbachev tried to keep the dictatorship together but everyone was tired of it. People were desperately poor in the Soviet Union. I was there in the 1990s, you could see how terrible everything was, it took decades to restore Russia.
No one was allowed to leave. Because then they'd all leave. The Soviet athletes in the Olympics were herded around by commissars who made sure they didn't talk to other athletes without supervision. Afterward the KGB interrogated them. Their families would be punished if they tried to flee.
People in the Soviet Union weren't even allowed to travel from one city to another without permission.
The forests were dead. Still so in the 1990s. You still see some of it today. The air in the cities was so bad they had to pump in air from outside for welding. Everyone had black snot, like in China today, because the air was so polluted. (A Chinese girl told me that until she came to study in Europe she didn't know snot didn't have to be black.)
The lakes were so poisoned by toxic waste that if you swallowed any of the war you had to be stomach pumped. The fish were so drugged they swam right at you and bumped into your legs. The barbecue consisted of grilling potatoes. The drinks were terrible, oily vodka - the good vodka was all exported.
The Soviets even dumped toxic waste by the North Pole.
The library had no lights. You had to sit by the window to read. You weren't allowed to leave with any books, because everyone stole in the Soviet Union, to get something to sell. There were no bookshelves, you had to look through the paper register and write down which book you wanted to read by the window, and they'd get it for you.
There was no medicine. The "free healthcare," like in Cuba, consisted of pain killers. Only the Party elite was allowed to buy medicine in special stores where it was imported from "capitalist" France. The Soviet Union couldn't invent medicine, or anything else, other than at enormous cost.
Their dentist equipment was still on the level of 1950. People's teeth hurt as a result.
The night clubs, the restaurants, everyone still had to pay money to the organized crime. The crime bosses had paid the Soviet rulers at the local level, they were everywhere. The Soviet Union was a crime state. Only when Putin came to power were they defeated.
It wasn't a "counter revolution," it was people protesting against a thieving tyranny that prevented them even from going from one city to another. Not that anyone except the Party elite could afford a car to travel in.
As for Cuba, the mass murderer Fidel Castro admitted in his old age that communism didn't work. He told a reporter, "the Cuban model doesn't work even in Cuba."
I also lived in the URSS for some years in the 1990s.
It was very much how you describe it with one exception.
I do not agree that the air
was polluted everywhere.
I did a lot of cross country skiing around Moscow and it always a pleasant experience.
The repression of personal freedom was amazing.
In a certain way, one can say that the Whites ended up winning the Russian civil war.
Even very senior Russian members of the Soviet nomenklatura were clearly fed up with the system.
I had meetings with some Soviet ministers who showed directly a "White"mentality.
The human mind functions in a dialectical way.
The Soviet system had failed the trial and error prove.
The communism experience is simply outside of the acceptable for a human society. Therefore, it will necessarily self-destruct, it is only a question of time.
I am cancelling my subscription. Antisemitism is evil and on the march. Anyone crossing that line is not a person with whom I will assist.
The Palestinians taking a pounding in Gaza are, in fact, SEMITIC people.
Calling out bad actors in Israel does not make one an antisemite, Gary.
"Oy vey, the goym called out our atrocities"--Gary
It has become a holy mission, when you look what’s happening in Gaza and Iran unrest coordinated by Mossad-CIA and US neocons, and also by American-Israeli Zion genocists to wipe all these terrorists from this earth, that there’s no other choice than to become a antisemitist. Anti Zionists is far too soft.
Who is this freak ?
Always the same lame excuse for the tribe.
"Oy vey - must 6 million more die?
Jews are crying out around the world against this rising tide of evil."
There is no such thing as "Anti-Semitism"!
The nonsense you speak is saying that, anti-Semitism is projecting bigotry against people that have language and geographic origin in the Levant."
Nothing more.
Aw, Gary is taking his ball and going home because the world has awoken to the satanic Jews. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
He's got his $7K, so he's not bothered.
I will say this, this Genocide is not of Jewish origin, it is a u.s. Zionist origin. We in the u.s. are responsible for this. Billions of u.s. dollars from our gov. and the Zionist churches as well as the Zionist Billionaires are committing this Genocide : (
I am of the opinion that it is all controlled by the untermensch Jews, particularly the Rothschild's.
Found the IDF fed
What is so special about the Jews? Being anti-any people is obnoxious especially if you couple it with the usual run of war crimes. But you can ring-fence a people if you want to and exempt them from the standards you apply to the rest of the human race. That is precisely the Zionist way. It is also what has happened viz Ukraine that according to the west can do no wrong. Nasty doctrine- exceptionalism.
Antisemitism is the way forward into a brighter future.
But as a jew, you won't like it.
Sorry not true. This is about Zionism. We in the u.s. have more Zionists than in israel.
Before zionism, and communism, and feminism, and humanism - there was the jew.
The creature with a thousand heads - all of them obscenely ugly.
Anyone who isn’t is either one of them or owned by them. Tel Aviv looking like a good holiday destination. bye bye
The claim of Antisemitism is propaganda for the Israeli Fascists and the "Anglo-American Oligarchy/Deep State/Jewish Mob".
You want to be on their side? Why?
LOL the satanic evil genocidal psychopaths and child abusers, are always crying about "anti semitism" and calling others "evil". Israel and israeli supporters just love projection...
Also Israel just murdered 50000+ unarmed woman in children in Gaza, that were semitic people. So Israel and their supporters, like yourself, are the most anti-semitic scum on the planet.
It's closer to 1 million murdered by the zionist entity.
Indeed, I don’t understand. The Israeli government is invested with psychopaths for decades and they are trying to create the greater Israel by destroying the native population and every country that stands in their way, backed up by the bought USA government and the Samson option, putting the entire world at risk. Unbelievable that people start disliking Israel and their (foreign) policy. Mind blowing.
And those that dislike Israel are still alive. Imagine if we would be able to ask all the many victims (terrorists ofc in Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Palestine and elsewhere) what they think of Israel?
Maybe it’s time for you to look in the mirror and ask yourself why Israel is entitled to bring death and destruction without punity.
We have tried the Israeli project since 1948. Clearly not a success. Time to try something different also in honor of the many innocent victims.
What's the Samsung option?
Free widescreens for everybody in the ME?
😂
Let me try to change it into Samson.
Struggling with my iphone at times. Not the best option to comment ☹️
It's not antisemitism it's antizionism... Chip
Canceled mine too—standing with you.
@Teresa
Don't let the doorknob hit you in the asshole on your way out.
Whenever the interests or conflicts of Israel are involved nothing is too expensive for America and genocide is always an option. The ultimate goal of the ‘Counterfeit State of Israel’ is major territorial expansion and Iran has proven already that it is planning to oppose the process.
Don't forget Patagonia in Argentina. Milei passes a law stating that burnt land can be sold to foreigners. Jews starting the fires, then buying the land on the cheap. They are planning for a nuclear WWIII. Patagonia could very well be the only livable place on earth at that point.
Not if jews are infesting it.
Precisely. But they don't care if all the goyim are dead.
It is an open secret that elites think it is a save heaven, which means it will not be safe in the future if they FAFO too much. ;)
Well written, Simplicius.
I am so tired of the United States being Israel's b_ _ _ _.
For the next three years the Bitch will be just that. After, likely the same with some minor variations.
Roger that! Here deep in America's Rust Belt, my Congress Critter is a "D" and a minority yet has not said a peep about the Gaza genocide. She is always bleating "compassion, care, and justice." Then, I looked up her campaign contribution list of donors and VOILA! Tens of thousands are routinely given her by AIPAC. Endless visits by "Mr. Green" to her pocketbook triumphs over all morals and ethics for her.
As we say here: "'Murica! Best government money can buy!"
Oooooh, the Rust Belt. Like Pittsburgh, PA, such a nice place to die.
What does anyone propose to do about it?
Well whining has got us this far!
I suppose most folks are willing to try just about anything that does not interfere with their addictions or reduce status.
Our bureaucracies will automatically maintain the status quo.
I'm thinking of moving to one of many victim countries and offering to spend the rest of my life trying to make amends for all the mayhem the US has caused. Probably go over better than when they eventually invade US and reap their revenge.
Of course if they just torture me to death that would be not be a shock.
frankly,
Country is too deeply divided. Reason, facts, figures--mean nothing to half the populace. More of this later.
In the 1940s when the Japanese Empire attacked Pearl Harbor, America was galvanized into patriotism and action. Even Hollywood starts "joined up" to fight. Today--apathy, sloth, and indifference by millions living in a world of smartphone illusions, social media, and media spin.
Methinks a catastrophic event--like a huge Wall Street crash, de-dollarization of the greenback, or a hyper inflation--may--just may--put people back in touch with Miss Reality. She's a stern mistress.
A good analysis of what's going on:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVrF3LqFtAo&t=1s
Indeed. When even a professional holocauster says they have the "mark of Cain" now....
"Yes, it is genocide. It is so difficult and painful to admit it, but despite all that, and despite all our efforts to think otherwise, after six months of brutal war we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained with the mark of Cain for the 'most horrible of crimes,' which cannot be erased from its forehead. As such, this is the way it will be viewed in history’s judgment for generations to come."
--Amos Goldberg, Holocaust historian at Hebrew University
Its all Putin's fault, as usual... The Great Moron propaganda line wont change no matter what.
It's because he is firmly in the camp of folks like Navalny and Igor Girkin whose hatred for Putin drives their lives and is the motivation for every breath they take.
It's kind of sad.
Girkin getting out of the prison this year and might go to Slavyansk to fight, like in the past, whereas our friend GM will keep blessing us here. ;)
You say that the "international community" has tied the zionist entity's hands in Gaza. In what way, certainly not in a way that stops their bombing to my knowledge. Perhaps you could explain?
Well, Putin likes to suck up to Trump more than anyone else.
He offered Trump a partnership in developing Russia's and Ukraine's mineral resources.
Putin refers to the US as "our partners".
100's of thousands of Russians are dying, spearheaded and supplied by the US to its Ukrainian proxy, while the Kremlin is eager to make deals with its American partner.
Russian Oligarchs loyal to money before country are too bent on making deals to enrich themselves at the expense of their patriotic soldiers. The Ukrainian war has become no more than a killing field, a slaughterfest.
The SMO was ill-conceived with no clear objective.
Ukraine will live to fight another day after the peace.
Russia attacked Ukraine unprepared and without the resolve to do what had to be done.
The objective should have been to defeat Ukraine promptly. Now, look at the mess the SMO has become. No Western country fears Russia. The SMO has turned into a never-ending WW1-type of positional warfare. Russia should never have entered Ukraine if it wasn't prepared, and things would have turned out like this. I mean, it only had one decade to prepare. The war should have been over by now. Ukraine defeated—no more drone attacks on Putin or on Russia's critical industries or endless body counts and destroyed war material.
I pity the Russian patriots fooled into this war only to see Putin and friends make deals with their US enemy, and so little gained. It's like Russia has to endure some type of humiliation ritual. The Russian leadership have failed its people again. No wonder the Russian Nationals are so upset about how this war is handled with kid gloves without purpose.
"The Russian Federation is structurally incapable of winning the war in Ukraine.
Defeating the West is impossible when your assets, families and hopes and dreams are in the West."
Dr Livci
"The SMO was ill-conceived with no clear objective."
Do you listen to the 2007 MSC speech? Did you read the draft treaties in 2021? Did you read the February 2022 Russia China joint statement? Did you listen to Putin's address to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in June 2023? Apparently not. If you do your questions will be answered.
People like Denis don't read things.
I just don't fall for the bullshit.
Denis... You ARE the bullshit.
"The Russian Federation is structurally incapable of winning the war in Ukraine.
Defeating the West is impossible when your assets, families, hopes and dreams are in the West."
Dr Livci
What a pathetic child you are resorting to such language.
But did you even read them? AI can assist.
Again, why not address the points I've made instead of obfuscating from them? That is quite telling.
I'm tired of hearing all the excuses. Here's the truth.
"The Russian Federation is structurally incapable of winning the war in Ukraine.
Defeating the West is impossible when your assets, families, hopes and dreams are in the West."
Dr Livci
I never see you talk about being tired of all those Banderite posterity running Canada for decades. Carney now, before him Freeland from behind.
How come? Fancy doing something about that? Like going to the street and complain there?
If Russia cannot win, maybe you and people like you could help them with protests. ;)
Russia has already won.
lol
Donbas and Belogrod populations are very tired of winning.
Despite the silly politics here, I live like a king.
Don't blame me for Russia's problems.
I'm just an observer, looking inside the matrix from the outside.
Your obfuscation of the topic is noted, ruffian.
Oh, outside the matrix, unlike the rest of us. You are certainly special, Denis!
Muh, muh. Same ole repetition, day in day out.
Take a break, watch an Olympic hockey game or two. Canada might win something in round robin. ;)
Denis is now to blame for Russian impotence?
Firstly, not everybody shares your opinion about incompetence. He is just tedious with his repetitions.
And people like me are fed up with repetitive crap that constantly chokes this comments section.
Like a groundhog day, just not funny.
Even you for example. Your comments elsewhere are interesting read. Here? Just tedious.
Philosophically, what does it actually mean, to "win a war"?
Is it the ancient Roman definition, ie "To create a wasteland, and call it peace"?
This seems to be GM's definition, and it was also the US definition, ie first, "Shock and Awe" and then no plan for afterwards.
Russia is trying, through the mechanisms of war, to create a new security architecture for Europe, and this is a more difficult proposition than other more short-sighted visionaries would have you believe.
Whatever Putin said in Munich 2007 hasnt been followed up properly since then.
Its a big difference of ”being right” and ”doin right”.
Putin left over 200 billion of Russian assets in western control before launching the SMO. How is that for a brilliant strategy?
No clear objectives? Russia's objectives have been clearly stated repeatedly and without variance over the years. As for being "structurally incapable of winning", how exactly are they not winning? And don't confuse the concept of how they ARE winning with your concept of how they SHOULD win according to your mind - the undeniable fact is that they are winning.
And where do you get the idea that they have "hundreds of thousands" killed in action? Please support that with evidence?
I said long ago that Russia has won technically.
But Ukraine will survive to fight again instead of Russia taking control when it had the chance. Russia will lose the peace.
Evidence? What's the combined death toll at 3 to 1 for Russia?
My guesstimate is a million by the time this slaughterfest between Slavic's ends, your highest honour. 😂
Where do you have evidence of a 3 to 1 death toll ratio?
Where is your evidence that Russia will lose the peace beyond your own imagination based on fictitious numbers?
Well, your majesty, if I were a man of precision, I would be a carpenter.
There is no hard evidence, only estimates, my dear Watson.
May peace be with you. 😂
Garbage estimates, from garbage sources.
Very unlikely estimates.
Yes. Latest rumours is 1,7 KIA/MiA for Ukraine. I expect Russia to have lost 650 o00. A real horror and treason against the people of Russia. And why kill 1,7 million ukis when you could strike the leadership on an on again?
Human sacrifice is the ONE tragic effect many ignore, the Pro-Putinz beat war drums! not realizing how bad it is for both Russia, the Ukraine and the hatred that breeds among ethnic Russians.
.
Its come to revelation, the supreme wise leader is not exactly a good guy after all but perhaps ambiguously in cohorts with the devil.
.
It took awhile to come to this realization, but after Syria, and the SMO it is conclusive that Putin is a zionist, not a President who looks after Russians.
.
It is TIME the Russian people elected a PRESIDENT where Russia comes first, and not Israel. Putin must go!
I am not certain about the ”zionist” Putin.
He has done a lot for the Russian people under the cirkumstances he worked under. He had some peculiar comments about critisizing Israel for the genocide in Gaza, though, refering to the many Russian expats with jewish faith in Israel…
It is Putins fault that Russia hasnt done what was needed in Ukraine.
Feel sorry for all these people who has died in vain (on both sides).
I would be surprised if Russia's dead exceeded 200,000 at most.
But we both guess.
The numbers are less important than the trends. Russia is getting stronger, Ukraine is getting weaker. There was never a doubt about this.
I hope you are right but fear you would be grossly disappointed when numbers start to pouring out (if ever).
Denis the Dumb, off his meds in his Queensland nursing home again.
8:1 in Favour of Russia.
Combined KIA now almost 2 million.
Ukraine openly talking about their remaining men getting 14 year girls pregnant to "help Ukraine survive".
You can resume dribbling in your porridge now.
lol, you funny man.
>No clear objectives? Russia's objectives have been clearly stated repeatedly and without variance over the years.
Empirically false -- no clear objectives have been stated, stuck to, or achieved.
1) Nobody ever defined what "denazification" or "demilitarization" will mean exactly, thus one has to be an absolute imbecile to claim objectives were "clearly stated".
2) Those terms have also long been dropped, which only the most desperate Putin fanboys can deny at this point
3) There can be no denaizification and demilitarization without occupying the whole of Ukraine. Again, only a complete idiot could think otherwise.
4) Putin has never set that as an objective though. And then Putin retreated even from the terms he stated in June 2024, because now nobody is mentioning Kherson and the Zaporozhye either.
5) Whatever way one imagines "denazification" and "demilitarization", there is no way to deny that Ukraine has been heavily further militarized and nazified as a result of four years of SMO.
Obviously!
” Russia's objectives have been clearly stated repeatedly and without variance over the years.”
Exactly the problem.
Clearly stated but with insufficient content.
And when the Western world turns against you, attack you Motherland, assassinate people all over Russia, I think you need not only variance, you need a Strategy.
Russia has a strategy - they just don't share it with you.
This is war - shit happens - sometimes your own people and land get attacked - sometimes people get killed - sometimes your energy facilities are attacked. What would be incredibly unusual is if none of that happened.
How do you know?
A strategy, or lack of, is always seen over time.
After four years it is clear that Russia has been forced to adapt to the enemies strategies.
You can say that Russia is using a strategy, the old one. Take a punch, take two, be resilient, dont give up. Starve, suffocate and die but dont give up. Count on your own population. Sheer number will secure that you dont have to give up.
You are mistaking this for Ukraine, not Russia. Russia's General Staff is known for their strategic military expertise. You see what is going on and you interpret through your own perspective and biases - we all do. Your view simply does not match what is known and proven over generations of Russian military policy.
And the enemy does not have a strategy except to do whatever necessary today to be able to fight tomorrow.
Perhaps you need some Sun Tzu to understand.
https://excellencereporter.com/2025/05/12/winning-without-fighting-life-lessons-from-sun-tzu/
" sometimes your own people and land get attacked - sometimes people get killed - sometimes your energy facilities are attacked."
These things are happening every day, hundreds of times. Of course all these things happen in war on a frequent basis. It is traditional, however, to fight back in an attempt to minimize them. That's the part the brilliant strategy of Russia seems to have omitted.
@Denis ' as an old saying goes, "I wish I was as clever as my wife after the fact."
” Russia attacked Ukraine unprepared and without the resolve to do what had to be done.”
Which should be clear for everyone by now…
Whatever ”morale” leverage Russia had regarding their Russian speaking borthers and sisters in Ukraine is gone after fours years of indecisive fighting and bloodletting.
Note -- Russia did not attack Ukraine.
Russia launched a counterattack against NATO.
By the logic of Russia attacking Ukraine Operation Bagration was unprovoked Soviet aggression against the innocent Third Reich
Nope. Russia did an attack against Ukraine with the purpose to derail the sinister plans US&NATO had. You can cal it pre-emptive but nevertless an attack.. Justified but ill-prepared and executed..
"The SMO was ill-conceived with no clear objective." The objectives have been laid out dozens of times since the start. You must have your head deeply buried in the sand for a very long time not to have seen them... Chip
Who is liking such utterly ludicrous posts?
Russia didn't choose the timing. Their hand was forced.
So?
It was in response to: ”Russia attacked Ukraine unprepared and without the resolve to do what had to be done.”
They did what they could do with what they had at the time. Without a clear and present danger to Russia itself there was a limit to what the population would stand for. Or at least I assume that was their perception. They were able to do a lot of preparation economically, just not militarily.
Even if Russia hadn't had only eight years to prepare, it doesn't matter. Winning is the only thing that matters and Russia has not won, at least not yet.
That had nothing whatsoever to do with my comment which had nothing to do with whether Russia is winning or losing.
They can't even make a deal, the US is so busy killing or trying to kill Russia's negotiators. Letting Zelensky survive after last week is utterly shameful.
Same modus operandi that Israel has used against Hamas and Hezbollah leadership and negotiators. Tells you everything you want to know about who runs the US.
My point is, what does it tell you about Russia that they keep letting it happen without consequence?
Certainly. I understood your point. The Euros are starting to grovel about sending envoy's to Moscow. Putin should hasten it by punishing a few NATO installations. Plenty in the measly Baltics available for a Kalibre or Iskander strike.
I believe Russia knows that Europe will never stop attacking, and they know that they will likely have to fight Europe directly, but first they have to put away Ukraine, unburdened by direct confrontation with Europe.
Russia is fighting this war in their own way and winning - they don't make war decisions based on emotion or desire for revenge - they just suck it up and keep on the road of destruction.
Russia isn’t winning, and they aren’t fighting a “war,” remember? This is a “special military operation.” Special in the sense that it’s cool for hostile super powers to bomb them daily, wage assassination campaigns against them, humiliate them repeatedly, destroy their friends, and encircle them with enemies. Very special. All that remains is to make the deal Putin has been desperate to make that would insure it would never end. They’re on the road of destruction, all right. On that we agree.
The SMO is against Ukraine. The "war" is against the West. Russia must secure Ukraine above all at the moment, so they must concentrate on fulfilling their objectives even in the face of European efforts to bleed and destroy them. I believe Russia knows full well that it will likely end up having to fight Europe directly. Once Ukraine is wrapped up and Russia's borders secured, then Europe might well have the opportunity to see what it feels like to be on the wrong end of a Russian advance. Russia is already preparing for that, and it won't be the same as a Special Military Operation - it will be all out war.
You might think Russia isn't winning, but you would be seriously wrong.
At least NATO (via the Ukraine) is removing ALL 'decision makers' of Russia.
What wickedness.
Iran has two potent and unstoppable weapons against a real US strike...It has threatened to hit Tel Aviv with its hypersonic missiles, and it can close the Strait of Hormuz in mere hours, propellling gas prices in the West into the stratosphere and creating a possible depression..
.I vote to draft Mark Levin, hand him a rifle, and invite him to join the IDF in invading Iran...
Iran can easily do what Ansar Allah did in the Bab el Mandeb and blockade "unfriendly" cargo. It seems the US is gearing for a blockade so we may see a counter blockade in the Straits.
First there will be naval exercises joining Iran, Russia and China. Later joint naval exercises with India and Iran. Maybe, quietly the number of non-US naval ships in the region will increase.
Someone has to call Trump's bluff, but I doubt it will be India.
Charlie Kirk allegedly visited the Whitehouse to persuade Trump not to attack Iran back in June. Now that he is out of the way, the warmongering can proceed only slightly behind schedule.
Have to laugh at the Foreign Minister comments on Trump's state of mind.
Especially after Old Pudding Head " As long as it takes " Biden.
I would summit the real reason would be Howard Ludnick's DAVOS speech.
Globalism has failed -
Guess a lot of people will be mad to see it go.
You too Simp ?
The US is now a sick international joke... a desperate deranged madman lashing out at anything.
Yes, the US is a biting grundoon. It is an inept government that uses no civility in dealing with other nations.

Thank you for the link to the truth-teller. I have bookmarked it. I was actually kind of 'frozen' after listening. I know about the elites and their view of those beneath them as pawns and trash. Hearing the woman put the scope of their devilry all together was, well..it froze me. As a horrid example of their disdain for others--how it is transferred to orcs that do their bidding, here is a report:
https://caitlinjohnstone.com.au/2025/10/16/israel-tortured-and-sexually-humiliated-greta-thunberg/
Essentially, that class of people mostly views us as expenses or a herd to manage and cull.
The Epstein files? Israel is being exposed to the US public opinion and world wide, despite the spinning to... blame it on Putin... Thank you GM. At the same time they feel they are the closest to total victory they will ever be. Their sexual blackmail leverage of the US has been dismantled, framing the narrative field for further developments. With the current apparently small air deployment against Iran, I would bet on a new phony attack Trump style. Only in the Maduro operation 150 aircraft were allegedly employed. At the same time the siege pression on Iran is going to stay until the country's leadership cracks. This is a new way of warfare Trump inaugurates. Winning wars by a combination of economic siege, insider bribery, bogus negotiations and information confusion.
And so far no arrests! The 'disMemberment ' (pun intended) of the perpetrators would be the least of my expectations and hopes.
They will keep obfuscating and stalling until it all dies down in the media - then it is back to "normal" for them and their perversions.
Sorry i must have dozed off momentarily, did Trump win a war somewhere? Ah i remember it was the Minnesota Great War.
The Fire Horse arrives shortly, mid month, so some say.❤️🐴🔥 The chaos is beginning to ramp up; what will be the dark horse event, one or many, no matter. The Love & Spiritual Revolution continues. The Sun rises in the East and… sets in the West. Godspeed💙🇮🇳🇨🇳🇷🇺❤️
Fun fact :
Epstein said that two Chinese diplomats he met said "Beware the Jewish dog" to each other. But that would be actually very awkward to say in Chinese, if they wanted to drop slurs on him it they'd call him a "ghost", not a dog.
Speculation is that what they actually said was "打狗看主人", "Da Gou Kan Zhu Ren", meaning to look who the owner is before beating a dog, or to look at who his backers are before getting involved with him.
Incidentally, the phrase also sounds like "Jew" and "dog".
This is to say that a lot of the global elites are incredibly sophomaric in their thinking, making big plans based off half baked impressions and dabbling in complex topics.
That's not what I read.
I read Epstein saying that they looked at him "AS IF TO SAY Beware the Jewish dog". He also mentioned a blond female assistant fluent in three dialects. It's possible but very unlikely that she was picking up any unguarded conversations.
