Last century, Russia has been infected with the Bolshevick virus and we know what these psychopaths have done to the Russian People.

We ask the Russian people to understand that the American people are under attack by the same virus. The only difference is the virus has mutated from economic Marxism to cultural Marxism or Wokism.

They are destroying all our institutions and now we have the Central Planning Bureau or Blakcrock implementing social scoring by controling capital allocations to corporations to coerce Board of Directores they have influence over to normalize sodomy and pedophilia.

Mr. Putin understands this and so do the American people who continue to wake up to this virus.

When it is all said, the Russian and American people have no reason to dislike each other at all.

Both our peoples face the same enemy. America faces it from within and Russia, being a healthier society at this time, faces it from without.

God help us all against the satanists.

I translated the meeting into English and broke it into two parts: https://vk.com/@580896205-putin-meets-with-war-correspondents-part-one and https://vk.com/@580896205-part-two-of-putins-meeting-with-war-correspondents

At MoA, Russian commentator S provided some input related to what the meeting covered on the current week in review thread in which I made one reply, and another today:

" Putin's heard similar complaints before in his meetings with SMO participants, their spouses, children, and patriotic support organizations; I know because I've read the transcripts of their conversations. There were problems with the partial mobilization, too. IMO, what must be faced is the fact that Russia's Military and its MIC has never been tested in this manner ever; as a result, its inefficiencies and ineptness in certain quarters was unmasked along with the unfortunate nature of its bureaucratic culture--a disease that plagues all bureaucracies. Thankfully, Russia doesn't have the massive corruption problem that exists within the Outlaw US Empire and its vassals. Nor is the Russian government splintering from the inside as many European governments are, the former being quite credible in comparison. In almost every speech Putin gives, he mentions the need to increase efficiency across the board in every facet of Russia's socio-political-economy. There's no mention of it by the Kremlin, but I'll wager the national debt that Putin barked at more than a few people after his meeting and results will soon appear. Improving the bureaucratic culture will be difficult, but it can be done. That will be yet another facet of Russia to watch going forward."

Now to finish reading your posting.

I really have nothing more to add aside from telling your readers to read or listen to the entire meeting as Putin and the correspondents provide a weeks-worth of news. Oh, and do watch the SPIEF happenings. Putin will attend as usual; hopefully, the day will be announced at Zakharova's briefing tomorrow.

Edit 6/15 @1615 Pacific--

I should note that a citation of Putin's words is making the rounds that Pepe Escobar cited in his SCF article published today that's incorrect as it stands:

“We were forced to try to end the war that the West started in 2014 by force of arms. And Russia will end this war by force of arms, freeing the entire territory of the former Ukraine from the United States and Ukrainian Nazis. There are no other options. The Ukrainian army of the US and NATO will be defeated, no matter what new types of weapons it receives from the West. The more weapons there are, the fewer Ukrainians and what used to be Ukraine will remain. Direct intervention by NATO’s European armies will not change the outcome. But in this case, the fire of war will engulf the whole of Europe. It looks like the US is ready for that too.”

That's a collection of snippets pieced together to look like one entire statement. I combed the two different transcripts--my Yandex generated one and the Official Kremlin--four separate times and that paragraph doesn't exist. The bits, yes, somewhat like the Monroe Doctrine was initially snippets of a speech mashed together as a policy statement. Ultimately, it doesn't mar Escobar's article, but it does raise a credibility issue that I informed him about. When I first read it this morning, I thought it odd that I didn't recollect it although it all seemed correct--and it is but it isn't. It's an excellent example of what can happen when we rely on secondary or tertiary sources without vetting them. Here's the link to Pepe's article, https://strategic-culture.org/news/2023/06/15/putin-and-what-really-matters-in-the-chessboard/
