" By far the most important objectives of this entire situation are the following:

1. Destroy Russia-German relations

2. Unplug Europe from Russian energy

3. Make Europe, conversely, dependent on US energy

4. Bankrupt and de-industrialize Europe to keep it submissive to US hegemonic power

And guess what? On pretty much all of these points the US has succeeded with flying colors. A grand, unparalleled victory. "

This - and I have believed for abut 3 years now.

Ergo - chaos and mayhem left in Ukraine, weapons spilling over into crime and terrorism across Europe, huge losses of life, all of these are Goals of the US, not side effects, let alone regretted collateral damage.

Friedman's comments were 2015. This has been a very long term plan, and the success of the Kiev Coup was never an end goal, nor was the capture of Crimea. It was always about creating a massive pit of chaos between Europe and both Russia and the end of OBOR.

When the Georgians attacked South Ossettia, I recall seeing the first BBC correspondent there, interviewing the locals. They quite openly said that Georgia attacked, and Russia was coming to their aid. They also pointed to the civilian residential blocks behind them as being shelled - CIVILIAN housing.

The most memorable was a old Babushka standing in the street, who was fearless in her denunciations of the Georgians while wagging her finger!

And yet barely hours later, the "Official Narrative" had been set that "Russia is to blame", and such reporting, even from their own correspondents, was BBC-Pravda memory-holed.

This was before I'd learned to download such clips for posterity, not yet realising how controlled the Internet would become.

It would have been hilarious today to have a recording of what Vlad Putin said to Chimpy Bush when he confronted him at the Olympics about it.

Watching again in real time the outright lies over Syria, and Libya, has been the final straw. The treatment of Corbyn, Lableak theories, and Covid-vaccine safeness, along with "Ukraine's Inevitable Victory"; chemical weapon use in Syria by the Saudi-armed Jihadists blamed upon the Syrian Govt, the CI's ISIS program... the list just goes on and on.

What is so scary is how many either do, or pretend to, still believe Western corporate media.

There are people who, caught in a terrorist blast that amputated every limb except one finger, would still use that finger on their phone to deny the explosion if that was the Official Narrative.

Thank you for your time, and effort, especially for those of us who are but free-riders on your hard work.
