Would love to see a list of the most delusional bloodthirsty GAE/NATO warmongers and some kind of debate between you and them. Mick Ryan of Futura Doctrina Substack has some nutty takes. Adam Kinzinger, Lindsay Graham, Alexander Vindman, Victoria Nuland, Tony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, and the big guy are up there too.

Your representations of Russian public opinion give me hope that the war can be resolved through diplomatic means. The mood in Western Europe - and especially Germany - is definately shifting. It might not result in a change of goverment but the pressure from below is growing and will over long result in a shift of the government´s position. If Russia is then still ready I believe we might see an end of this tragic conflict in the coming year.

In Germany the AFD went from 10% in the polls to now over 20% in just a few months. The legacy parties are shitting their pants. Germany is not Italy or France where sudden shifts are not that rare. Germany used to have a very stable party system and it now is falling apart. Here what the leader of the AFD said yesterday in his opening statement at the AFD Germany convention:

"We have to care and strive for good relations with all countries in the world, instead of imposing Western values on them. We say no to economic war and sanctions and yes to free and peaceful change with all the world. We demand that other countries respect our way of life. Conversely, we also let other countries live as they see fit and as they want to. This is what I call respect, and only on this can a peaceful order be built: Respect and peace, city, interference and war.

And I demand respect for Ukraine as well as respect for Russia. The fact is that we are no longer importing cheap gas from Russia is not a reaction to the war in Ukraine. Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck has used the war as an opportunity to stop imports.

But without the war, citizens would not have put up with us cutting the lifeline of our industry. He knew that. Now Nordstream, blown up by the U.S. and or Ukraine, is at the bottom of the ocean, and we're importing expensive, dirty fracked gas from America."

Furthermore he said: "The USA has driven the wedge into the continent, and the Polish government is driving it deeper and deeper with an aggressive policy towards Germany and Russia. And our task, dear friends, is to remove this wedge. We must renew the network of lifelines and transport routes in Europe and Asia. This and nothing else we owe to the world, dear friends."

I believe the attack on Nordstream will backfire even if the AFD is made illegal. Because if they do that and opt for open dictatorship Germany will be thrown into such convulsions that she will not be able to support NATO anymore. I don´t say that lightly. It is an open secret that the army has an above average share of AFD supporters and that holds for the police a well.
