GM is charged to intoxicate the comment section and weaponize every post against Putin with the aim of demonize him like Sadam, Gadafi, Maduro et al as a previous stage for regime change. Thats the playbook. He works with others here. Unfortunately there is a bunch of barely informed people here.
There are plenty of them, despite the internet censorship. Start avoiding the legacy media. That's a good departure point. For Ukraine, I would say the Grayzone, Eva Barlett, Vanessa Bealy, Christelle Neant, Andrei Martianov, the Duran... Havent you heard about them? Really? Excuse me, but I doubt it.
Any source which either explicitly or implicitly denies or obfuscates jewish involvement in any of these issues is immediately suspect.
Sources such as RT / Sputnik which are blocked / banned in the western information space are also helpful, although they have their blind spots too, eg in blaming "evil German nazis" for all the problems in the world, or "anglo saxons," which again, seeks to disguise the jewish / bolshevik issue, which soviet Russia was completely controlled by.
The "German nazi" theme is completely destroyed by a little light reading, eg of John Wear's "Germany's War," which can be read for free via the Ron Unz w/s.
The real nazis are the jews; the real heroes are the fascists, and the ultimate truth is found in Biblical revelation.
First, the URSS turned back every time when the tactical situation was unfavourable as all countries do. The USA "turned back" in Vietnam, Afghanistan.
Second, cannot you even understand that the URSS is an example of ultimate defeat, not a muster of successful strategy.
You have zero understanding of how and why the USSR was collapsed.
"Was collapsed" being the key word. By its own elites, it did not collapse on its own.
And not because it was an unworkable failing system, but in order to loot the largest in human history amount of accumulated in the commons real wealth.
Before that happened, and after nuclear parity was achieved in the 1960s, the USSR would have never allowed the US to fire a single shot into its territory without a devastating response. Meanwhile Putin, even though he supposedly has strategic weaponry superiority, is not only tolerating mass air raids every night (right as we speak a power plant around Moscow was hit), but is refusing to even acknowledge the US is doing and is behaving as only slightly less disgusting Trump boot licker than the Europeans.
The USSR faced opponents with politicians who were more than just amateurish puppets, and could make real decisions.
Russia is facing a complete oligarchy, where the actual decision-makers are living on private offshored Islands, complete with the inevitable well-stocked bunkers, and perfectly happy for Russia to take the blame for their own plans to depopulate the West.
MAD no longer works when one side actively wants to be destroyed, does it?
A mutual hostage system where one side actively hates all the hostages is a very delicate situation.
Within the next decade at furthest, likely more sooner than later, the Western financial system will collapse again, and those 'in the know' won't even care if they take the whole World with them.
The assault on Venezuela is a desperate attempt to get more 'assets' that can be borrowed against, to stave this off for another year or two.
The psychopathic Roman Empire would have destroyed everything before it fell too, and every Western Empire since has the same ethos.
Britain deliberately started both WWs, knowing they would cost 10s of millions of lives.
My "zero understanding" is apparently enough to come to the conclusion that, when the political class of a country decides to completely break with the system that has guided said country under their leadership for decades, no further need of defeat is needed.
Even more so, if together with the system, said State loses a big part of population and lands which belonged to it for centuries and finishes at war with the most important of the secessionist States.
Defeat indeed.
Traitors you will say. Was is the worth of a system that produces traitors at the very top and nobody with force and decision to oppose them?
If I am "zero" you are probable minus 25 ° Celsius.
What you are implicitly advocating for is a return to an era when the MAD philosophy prevailed - in retrospect, we can see that it worked - but its weakness was demonstrated on several occasions when missiles were launched by one side or the other which according to that philosophy, should have resulted in immediate retaliation and thus the obliteration of the entire world, and with that, the cancellation of the birth of GM to be able talk about anything.
In the Putin era, we have a more considered and less Brinkman - like approach, ie "Slow to Anger," and the implicit belief in being able to defeat some geopolitical threat in a conventional albeit more drawn-out and potentially painful way, at least in the short term - and this approach seems to be very much bearing fruit, although we may well see another year of the slow-motion collapse of the west before it's all over.
So the choice is between a young man's hot-headedness, and the more mature man's diplomacy and increasing awareness of realpolitik.
On balance, then, I think I will go for the latter approach.
I think the fall of USSR was a regime change operation using soft power and bribe after the fall of iron curtain. Otherwise it had the capability to pull itself together under a decent leader.
This is about the oil, obviously, but that is the long-term objective.
The reason it is happening now is that it is also a blocking move against Russia. They are going to escalate massively against Russia and want their immediate backyard free of Russian and Chinese allies so that there are no Oreshniks within range of DC. Not that Putin has serious intention to put them there, but they are making sure.
Oh,Putin will never do it, so why matter? Russia has been selling SU-27s, S300, Kalibers and setting a Kalashnikov factory in Venezuela during the last 3 decades just for fun... Like the one you provide to us.
Comical , the US , once the world champions in regime change ( admittedly a quite small field at best ) , bungling around like sideshow clowns , complete with big shoes and small bicycles, publicly trumpeting each ”cunning plan”.
A couple of missiles lobbed at their “Pirates of Penzance” navy and they will be back in Miami, as occurred with the Houthis.
Maybe drop a few bombs on some banana plantations (aka drug cartels) so trump can announce victory on Fox news
In the real world this is true. What we are seeing out of our country's executive administration is a bluff and bluster comedy show costing $$$$$$$$$$ we do not really have. If they do decide on the Vietnam option it will be a bad, bloody affair, as some other commenters here do tell us. We once had a president who spoke softly and carried a big stick. We now have one who yells loudly and carried a stick up his back side.
>A couple of missiles lobbed at their “Pirates of Penzance” navy and they will be back in Miami, as occurred with the Houthis.
So why hasn't it been done already?
This week the US launched ballistic missiles at Russia, why has Russia not retaliated, for which, after all that has happened, some sunk US ships in the Caribbean would be ideal?
Instead Putin admitted to committing grand treason yet again, by acknowledging he agreed to hand over two regional capitals of the Russian Federation to the Nazis.
I will tell you what the difference is here:
First, Suleimani was an actual serious strategist, unlike the 5D chess grandmaster dummy in the Kremlin, and he also truly cared about his life's mission. So he devised the strategy of maximum autonomy of the different members of the resistance, and did not simply have Iran hand over materiel to the various allies, he handed over expertise on how to make weapons and how to dig tunnels. Thus the Houthis are fairly autonomous.
Second, the Houthis have no megayachts, no mansions in the West, no dual and triple citizenships in the US, the UK and Israel, and thus nothing to lose and no split loyalties. And they sincerely believe in what they are fighting for.
The result is that after facing the US directly with a fraction of a percent of the resources that Russia has, they forced the US to back off.
While Russia does not believe in anything other than making money and the result is that all that Putin does is begging Trump to let him insert his tongue even deeper in Trump's unwashed anus, he likes it so much...
You mean Donald putting his tongue in Bubba’s unwashed hole while Eppie put his Cuban cigar first in Mel’s briefcase, and notice it’s not about the money this time it’s corruption that’s going to put an end to the war, Zel can retire Venezuela perhaps?
Which Putin said he basically accepted and made compromises on the previous Russian position in order to accept it.
Look, the whole situation is simply absurd.
Russia should not be in such negotiations at all. It should be:
1) issuing a credible nuclear ultimatum to NATO to back off or else
2) revoking the recognition of Ukraine as an independent state and claiming all of it
3) committing to full de-Ukrainization of the territory, because that is the only way to do de-Nazification, regardless of what violations of "human rights" that will necessitate
4) mobilizing the human and material resources to do the above
Instead Putin asked for the four regions.
Which does not solve absolutely anything, as the most sensitive to Russian security regions are not Kherson and the Zaporozhye, but Chernigov, Sumy, Kharkov, Kiev and Poltava (this if at least the SRBM threat to Moscow is to be eliminated), which Putin is neither claiming nor doing anything on the ground to recover, and the MRBM/hypersonic threat from Eastern Europe is not addressed at all.
And yet Putin is making concessions even on that already defeatist position...
I am sometimes driven to such depth of despair that I also feel that most drastic measures have to be taken. But Russia is not Houthis and retaliatory measures by Russia would reverberate on an apocalyptic scale, that is why all the caution on Putin‘s part. Russia does not need all Ukraine -it would be a disaster to administer and run such a huge territory. It is enough to reduce it to a rump state and make sure it cannot pose threats in future. And you will see - Ze will fuck up, refuse the US generous offer, Russians will push on and will take more strategically important oblasts
Why do you think this 28-point thing originated from the Russians? It is a mostly U.S. concoction and Russians politely but firmly said that might consider it as a conversation starting point.
>Vladimir Putin: Yes, of course, there is no secret here. We have had almost no public discussion of it, only in the most general terms, but it is not a secret. President Trump’s peace plan to resolve the situation in Ukraine was discussed before the meeting in Alaska, and during this preliminary discussion, the American side asked us to make certain compromises, to show, as they said, flexibility.
>The main point of the meeting in Alaska, the main purpose of the meeting in Alaska, was that during the talks in Anchorage, we confirmed that despite certain complicated issues and difficulties, we nevertheless agree with those proposals and are ready to show the flexibility they asked for.
Well, if I remember correctly Putin also said that all objectives of the special military operation will be achieved. Moreover - the situation on the battlefield has changed since Anchorage and ‚flexibility‘ is a flexible modifier
Given that the US is firing ballistic and cruise missile at Russian cities and infrastructure, the option to not start the war (which has already been started for you) is no longer there.
>Средствами противовоздушной обороны сбиты четыре оперативно-тактические ракеты ATACMS производства США, четыре крылатые ракеты воздушного базирования «Storm Shadow» производства Великобритании, 15 управляемых авиационных бомб, четыре реактивных снаряда системы залпового огня HIMARS производства США, две управляемые ракеты большой дальности «Нептун», а также 1089 беспилотных летательных аппаратов самолетного типа.
One thing is for sure. You are increasingly unhappy about the Russian advances that not only the alt media but the legacy media is admitting too. Even the Financial Times is acknowledging the new reality. What kind of Russian citizen could ignore the victories even the enemies of his country concede? You cant be Russian. By the way, you never claimed you were. You beat every level of treason imaginable for a Russian citizen. I bet you are Ukranian. 100%.
You have been warning shit. You are just an intoxicator. You cant be Russian. A Russian would never be happy of the death of thousands of Russian soldiers in Syria or Ukraine, claiming that they did nothing, that they achieved nothing. And if it was the case that Russian would never dare to speak that shit publicly because he would be lynched as he opens his mouth. You can read Russian, maybe speak Russian, but you are not Russian. You are an Ukranian liar pretending to be Russian to pour shit on Russia, which you hate more than anything.
Rancid cretin , woken up with a start under the beach umbrella in Bali have we , with a dope induced hangover and a picture of Putin barechested on horseback , pant, pant.
notice how Ukrozionist operator GM always divert any topic to attack Putin. They still believe removing Putin will defeat and tear apart Russia. Talk about Venezuela... Putin. Talk about Iran... Putin. And on and on. And he works with some side cocksuckers.
You are right—like Scipio Africanus and his reflexive coda to every subject “Cartago est delenda”. How does he immediately get a list of targets deep in Russia? However, for some time he has called the end of the NATO / Russia conflict as inevitably nuclear, and here he is right v
A badly-wounded animal is always the most dangerous type, whether it is in Europa or the US.
Donnie has frequently revealed his complete inability to respond diplomatically to difficulties; eg when he foolishly stated that US nuclear subs would be moved closer to Russia on the back of a tweet by Medvedev; and again when he stated the US would start nuclear tests just because Russia had flown a missile with a nuclear propulsion system.
It doesn't take him more than a few seconds to take decisions which the rest of us might take weeks to arrive at - even if those decisions derive from a brain which is long past its sell-by date.
Because the West, and more particularly Europe’s leaders, cannot lose in Ukraine without undermining their years-long financial and military support, and showing that their judgment was flawed. From this one could logically reason that their only course is escalation and/or sending in their own troops. Faced with a very broad coalition of forces threatening them R will respond with nuclear weapons.
Russia now has new weapons which are as destructive as the nuclear variety, but without their long term and toxic effects.
Certain European capitals may well be the first population centres to welcome them, should Europe's leaders decide to drag their nations into war against Russia.
My hope is that NATO does put troops into Ukraine. Nukes come into play not that Russia is afraid, but more that NATO takes a hit to the chin when one of its troop concentrations is taken out. At that point, NATO might go nuclear to respond to the body bags seen on TV.
NATO is not ready in the slightest to the casualties they will take if they enter the war, thus they will go nuclear first if it comes to it.
" ... Ceterum (autem) censeo Carthaginem esse delendam ("Furthermore, I think that Carthage must be destroyed"), often abbreviated to Carthago delenda est or delenda est Carthago ("Carthage must be destroyed"), is a Latin oratorical phrase attributed to Cato the Elder, a politician of the Roman Republic. The phrase originates from debates held in the Roman Senate prior to the Third Punic War (149–146 BC) between Rome and Carthage. Cato is said to have used the phrase as the conclusion to all of his speeches to push for the war, even when the speech was otherwise unrelated to Carthage or foreign affairs.... "
It's amazing alright. Then there's Putin the traitor which is the other line pushed. It's all Putin's fault. Frankly the comment section here has degenerated, and it's hardly worth the effort as there has been an assortment of shills/agents if not outright bots. I just watch the maps and steady diminution of western resources and Ukrainian manpower. But I guess witch doctor zeliboba can resurrect the dead for an endless supply of meat.
Yes. But think about it. The shills/agent presence proves Simplicius blog is valuable as a source of information and that they are worried about it. Beware the sources where everybody agrees to drink from as irrefutable, aka legacy media.
In fairness, that would be a much better candidate than Venezuela. I wouldn’t mind seeing Gavin Newsom hauled off to Gitmo in orange pyjamas for ten years of 'enhanced interrogation' and a show trial.
It is difficult to sink a carrier much easier a destroyer but still I think even dying empire (I think it is only sick because of luck of conquest success and Venezuela can change that at least for a while) can cause lots of trouble. We are not there yet anyway.
Sinking is unnecessary, the threat of damage is sufficient to get them out of harms way as the Houthis, with relatively unsophisticated weapons proved.
Venezuela has not much to do with drugs or oil. This is a neocon Obama plan going back to 2009, that they tried to start in 2015. China and its control of rare earth minerals is the reason. They want that blue gold
Trump also sees an opportunity to annoy China and Russia in this hemisphere. If he hasn't realized that he would lose a war with them on their own turf, he's crazier than I thought.
Actually it goes back to the tail end of the Clinton years, when the oligarchs accidentally allowed honest elections and Chavez became president, and was made permanent policy under Shrub.
Tulsi is trying to remind Trump of his promises, I don't think she's happy about all of this.
Maduro will probably make a deal with Trump, because he knows Trump has gone neocon. Of course, he will talk it over with China and Russia before signing anything. They have been supportive of Venezuela through all the Western bullying and sanctions.
Maduro can make a deal, and the Americans will demand Venezuela keep their end of the deal, but the Americans will break theirs at every opportunity. Just like the Israelis behave.
And most likely as soon as Maduro comes out of cover, he'll be assassinated - again, just like the Israelis behave.
If that was true, she would resign. No one with actual principles, that disagrees with what this warmongering, psychopathic "administration" is doing, would still be part of it. Tulsi is exactly the same as Trump and all the other USA scum.
Trump's base is too dumb to be drained. Most of them like their orange fascist dictator and will ignore everything he's doing, that goes against his promises and that make their lives worse.
Either that or they hate Trump and would prefer some other dictator. Americans love bread and circuses while they virtue signal to the rest of the world.
Trump's Big Beautiful Billionaire (give away) Bill included the reclassification of the majority of US health care workers as "non professionals", screwing all of those in the process of paying for educations in nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, drug rehabilitation and many other classifications FREQUENTLY WORKED AT BY WIVES & DAUGHTERS of MAGA types, plus INSULTING those already working in those fields... In the USA, what you do is what you ARE, there isn't a worse offense to an American worker than what these fools just did. Which is kind of the last straw for many of his remaining followers.
Check out Trump's Secretary of the Department of Education, Linda McMahon. She got rich running PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING franchises, clearly a strong background for running the US's educational system?
"Linda McMahon, the former co-founder and CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), was appointed as the 13th United States Secretary of Education in March 2025."
The reason why "Fascist!" has become such a term of knee jerk opprobium / revulsion is because the fascists were the only ones able and willing and committed to opposing the jewish bolsheviks whose plan was to invade the whole of Europe in 1941 - Hitler forestalled them, and they have never forgiven either Germany or him for doing so.
It's the same reasoning behind why nobody in "decent" society would ever admit to being a National Socialist - even though the ideology was so incredibly successful when it was introduced.
It is oposite, bolsheviks where and always will be against fascism, and thats a reason when you fascist come to power you always first kill and torture us communists before everyone else, we are only ones who dont buy your stupid crap and we are willing to fight you. Judaism is a religion not a people, jews as a people is western construct. All your problema with ”jews” are caused by zionistic clerical fascism created and used as a geopolitical tool by western fascistic imperialism led by USA. Western bilionares are your ”jews” you poor intelectually limited neo-nazi.
Maduro will make a deal because Trump has gone neocon? Could you elaborate on that? It sounds ilogical. No, Trump thinks the Chavez era is almost dead and needs to be finished. The Nobel Prize for the Machado patsy was the foreword of a regime change outright operation. Maduro tried to negotiate long ago with Grenell, but he wont cast the Chinese, the Russian and the Cubans out of Venezuela. The reasons I think Trump has made up his mind on attacking Venezuela is:
1. He is weak internally. He needs a splendid little war to shine his spoiled image. Patriotism and God against evil Maduro is the recipe for the MAGA sheeple.
2. He thinks Maduro is a loser. The thing Trump hates the more and instinctively runs away from is to be associated with losers, or disgraced characters like Epstein. He is all about the Monroe doctrine and zones of influence. He wants the Chinese and the Russians out of Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba, who will be next.
3. He is a jewish sabbat goy, a zionist paid whore. He has always been. And the jewish bankers desperately need the Venezuelan collateral. They dont need to grab it by themselves. All the American contractors who will get mining concessions in the new American colony, will need credits to banks, which will necessarily demand collateral guarantees. This is meant to save the sinking western banking debt scheme for at least a decade. More credit will be issued. The stock market will soar, and the dollar will reevaluate again. The system will have survived until the next crisis, years ahead. But someone else deals with that...
However, desperation and urgency are never a good recipe. A failure in Venezuela could trigger a catastrophic domino effect and give the coup de grace to a clearly criminal banking cartel. Thanks to Trump !!! His lifelong concerns to be the ultimate winner will be crowned by the biggest chain reaction economic and political collapse in history, which everybody is wishing. The end of this capitalist corporate murderous bloodthirsty mafia nightmare.
Tulsi is like my weathervane, she goes whichever way the wind blows, she is about as reliable as Trump, she's been on both sides of pretty much everything.
I lean toward agreeing with you. I remain open to the possibility however that even Tulsi may in truth be manipulated/blinded/deceived. Her access to full spectrum (the forest) solid data is limited by design. Anyone attempting to work *within* this system to expose it beyond a certain layer either becomes captured by it, or exterminated.
The Biden administration tried to destroy her, even put her on the no fly list.
She has to be careful about how she exits, but she will if Trump doesn't remember what he ran on. I believe she's hoping to remind him, but if he doesn't wake up she will make plans to leave.
She may be waiting to see if he becomes a neutered lame duck next year after the midterms, and possibly impeached.
Trouble is, he’s not incentivised to care. Like Starmer, Merz, VDL and all the rest of them, he is a disposable, short-term tool for the neoliberal order. What’s the worst the plebs can do? Kick him out in favour of… another disposable tool of the neoliberal order.
Meet the new boss; same as the old boss. Time after time after time after time after time.
Where's the Israel portion? 🤔 That lunatic leader in waiting of Venezuela has been voiced by multiple pundits to be a MOSSAD agent. Another Melei. Also, Colonel Larry Wilkerson still has sources in the Pentagon and said Israeli agents are already in Venezuela. Rubio represents the Gusano Industrial Complex of South Florida as well as being Mariam Adelson's shoeshine boy. And Washington D.C. has been supplanted by Israel so it's an Israeli-Gusano project and the US military is just the muscle? I just pray this blows up in Hogshits face but I also pray for the Venezuelan people. Another people fighting the International Criminal Syndicate who overspent on their credit card and need new "assets" to steal to bail themselves out.
Mossad is a CIA asset/subcontractor who also works on their own "off the books" agendas- And filters some intelligence going to their employer in furtherance of those personal projects.
However, there is the "Jewish Mob". It is a real thing. It has tremendous influence over American Politics and the American Economy. There are many prominent Jews who oppose the "Jewish Mob". Blumenthal, Finkelstein, Mate for example. There are many prominent American "Industrialists" who support the Mob.
I don't want to call them Zionists because they don't really care about Israel. If you have a better label, let's hear it.
But, let's stop pretending that (as GHWB put it) those "crazies from the basement" don't exist. They are the reason the "tail wags the dog" meme exists and has relevance. You do a disservice to Jews who oppose this criminal organization by conflating the "good guys" with the "bad guys".
I am so tired of the nonsense. IF Blumenthal et al were such good little Jews they would be screaming from the rooftops that allowing dual passport holders to be involved in political office need to be outlawed, they would also be screaming about the injustice of Israel having a policy of NO extradition of any criminal to any country even if it is country of origin. Just shut the F up about good Jews. It is just running cover for a very evil cabal of criminals.
If you want to find a reason to hate Jews, you can always find one. Who is "screaming" about Israeli privilege anywhere? Pretty much no one. If dual passports are ever brought up, it is in passing.
Brian Mast has been talked about over and over again. Yet he still represents the Florida 21st district.
Thanks for making my point for me. IF anyone can "talk" or "scream" about it, it must be the so called Good Jew. Anyone else will be viciously attacked by the lobby. Do you even have the ability to think critically?? Or do you just go with corporate narratives?
@JohnOnKaui -You do realize that there was a time way back ending in (1970s?) when the US didn't allow 2nd citizenships, and many Canadians renounced their's to work in the US and were begging for Canadian citizenship back, close to their retirement? So if the dual citizenships were allowed at some point if was to accommodate Israeli mostly, not us mortals
They scream about it more than many of the non-jews, not that it'll help. Rule makers are already sold out. American people must stop voting dual citizens to any position of power and if every candidate is a dual citizen, boycott the election.
You actually do have a group of antizionist jews who go under the name "Neturei Karta," so you think "They must be OK, right? Not all jews are like that."
Now that may be the case - but they are as addicted to the racist anti-white rhetoric as any other jew, once you check out what they actually believe.
They just claim not to want a "Home for those without a state," but will undoubtedly scuttle off there once their child abuse gets detected.
Take a glance at Ukraine, how many of your holy tribe have already scurried back to Tel Aviv to avoid the consequences of stealing hundreds of millions of US taxpayer money and guess what the Jews and Zionists who facilitated the theft from the US side are laughing while spreading their cash all over some little naked boy they bought somewhere.
Venezuela once had a significant Jewish community, mostly composed of Sephardim, but the antisemitic policies of Chavez and his successor have resulted in most of that group migrating out of the country. I actually happen to know a family that landed in Florida.
Add Maduro to the list of antisemitic Mossad agents.
How would the Chinese/Russians respond to either an oil extortion deal or covert ops/kinetic action? Would there be a preference for one over the other, assuming that the status quo won't be maintained?
(Quite interested to hear your analysis on the Asian theater. The new Japanese PM seems fully committed to assuming the role of disposable proxy, but I'm curious about how this can be executed and whether her recent comments are the opening of an orchestrated campaign. The leader of the other Asian proxy candidate, South Korea, seems to have more autonomy, but has a history of legal problems that the empire's spooks could possibly use for leverage).
>How would the Chinese/Russians respond to either an oil extortion deal or covert ops/kinetic action?
Given how they responded to Syria, which was an actually existential to them situation, while Venezuela isn't, yet they did nothing (or worse, they helped the US and Israel in the case of Russia), how do you think they will respond?
New lies of the poisonous antirussian propagandist GM, aka Great Moron, always working to put Russia down. The good Syrian people could breath for an extra 9 years, from 2015 to 2024, thanks to Russia and its great leader Vladimir Putin. Now they are being massacred and raped by GMs yihady friends. For further information
After which the jihadist bashibozuks still descended on them and started massacring them, after Putin first defanged, then abandoned Syria, and even kidnapped Assad.
Go back, for example, to the chemical weapons affair.
That is perhaps the best illustration of the role Putin played
Syria didn't have nukes, but it had built up a chemical weapon deterrent against Israel.
Then suddenly they get accused of using chemical weapons and Obama threatens bombing of Syria.
Putin steps in and says "Assad will dispose of the chemical weapons", and Obama postpones the strikes.
Net result? Syria lost its deterrent, gained nothing.
And the US then not only still bombed it, but occupied a third of it too.
But Putin was praised for his diplomatic genius. Genius indeed, if you understand who was playing on what sides.
This is as classic a good cop/bad cop routine as you will ever find.
What the USSR would have done in this situation is to arm Assad to the teeth so that he can kick the Turks and the Americans out by force. No Astana deals, no disabling of air defense so that Israel can bomb Syria without a bother, none of the things that Putin actually did and didn't do.
In fact, it was another Putins master move. Neither Syria nor Egypt signed the chemical weapons Convention in 1993, the opportunity offered by Moscow to Damascus to join was a bargain: it not only put an end to the crisis with the United States and France, but it also helped to get rid of unnecessary stockpiles become increasingly difficult to defend. For all practical purposes, President al -Assad specified that Syria was acting at the request of Russia and not under pressure from the United States, an elegant way of stressing the responsibility of Moscow to protect the country.
You know shit, since your intoxications and lies have been exposed multiple times. Russia tried to save its ally and bases in Syria. They couldnt save the ally, because of the stupidity of that ally. But the bases are still there. Same for Iran. without the Russian help the country would have been obliterated. You said from your kiev armchair that Pokrovks was just another worthless hamlet, just like the Ukranian propaganda does. Look the entire front crumble now multiple sectors. Thats your reliability. The more you try to put Putin down, the more ridiculous you look.
Does Putin kidnaps everyone fleeing to Russia to protect their lives away from scumbags like you? This was the recent case of ex Biden attorney Tara Reade
“The new Japanese PM seems fully committed to assuming the role of disposable proxy’ Just following in the footsteps of Ursula and Kallas, European women who will run to the comfort of their warm, well equipped kitchens after triggering a war – in case the kitchens will be still there… and of course we men will have to go to war to protect the crazy chicks.
There is a lot of truth in that statement about "chicks".
People that have not faced concrete, urgent, physical danger, do not easily understand the path of events leading to serious dangerous situation.
That is the life experience of women in the Western world and that explains figures like von der Leyen, H. Clinton. Kallas who apparently think that relations between military powers are something resembling a divorce process.
Of all the mysteries of this forum the amount of personal vitriol you get is puzzling. It’s not like you get personal with them. It’s not like what you say is crystal clearly absurd. For all we all here know of the workings of Power your opinion sounds to me as good as many others’ and better than a few. And yet, they respond as if you’d just insulted their mother and all their ancestors. 🤷🏻♂️
Oh, I have explained the psychology at work here on numerous occasions.
We are dealing with a cargo cult -- these are people who are for various reasons unhappy with their current situation in the West and they see in Putin the savior knight on a white horse who will rescue Western civilization from the depredations of GloboHomo.
But the savior cannot be anything else but totally pure and perfect, otherwise there will be no salvation, thus no evidence that the anointed messiah is a corrupt crook fundamentally betraying the interests of his own country because he happens to be much more loyal to a certain other third country while internally serving the interests of the same people who already broke up the country once four decades ago and have still not been removed from power can be accepted. Regardless of the empirical facts. And not just can it not be accepted, it generates an emotional reaction of the kind you are seeing here every other day under every thread.
Russian can give a dozen Sunburns to Venezuela. At that point its checkmate, but they wont. Just like they wouldn't arm Iran or let Syria properly defend itself.
A dozen missiles won't affect much. That's lunacy. If every weapon in the world worked as well as the manufacturer said it did, we'd all be dead 10 times over.
Incidentally, that's what I do. The testing. I know whereof I speak.
Even if one Sunburn got through and took out an aircraft carrier it would be game over for the Trump regime. The US public would scream for blood. My point stands.
No it doesn't. The loss of an aircraft carrier wouldn't be some disaster for the US public above and beyond screaming for enemy blood. From Trump's perspective, it's kind of a win. They'd build monuments and otherwise profess great love for the 'troops', even though most of them wouldn't have a beer with a sailor.
Really, those fighting the US neither understand the enemy nor understand its populace.
Besides which, from the Russian perspective, it would just accelerate the construction of defenses against the weapon. In this case, probably the reprogramming of existing SAMs to counter it. The endless cycle continues. You prefer to keep the weapon in abeyance so that you get the benefit of surprise when it is used.
The Venuzuelans have two choices endure a little more suffering piled on to the decades of suffering endured from US sanctions. Or sell their proud history of the Bolivarian revolution to corrupt a elite controlled by the US to facilitate exploitation so the current suffering is guaranteed for generations to come.
The major issue facing the US in it's perceived hegemononic region is the need to stop development created by Chinese and potential Russian investment. Thus the need to encourage the installation of corrupt dictators with the farcical meaningless term of democratic election to maintain the resource and human exploitation of the region through the proliferation of debt. So an example must be made of Venuzuela while in the process running the best marketing campaign for both the Chinese and Russian MIC. As nations and peoples around the world perceive the necessity to procure arms to protect their national sovereignty from a maligned hegemon.
For most of those of us who don't live in the western hemisphere, we couldn't care less. Yes, the US is engaging in blatant piracy. That's nothing new, particularly in Latin America. The fact is that no one outside the hemisphere, neither Russia nor China, is going to engage in a military confrontation with the nuclear armed US over Venezuela or Greenland. This conflict is a North and South American affair, outsiders will be little more than distant observers.
Niemoller does not apply, my little country home has always been someone's economic colony, never a real sovereign. That's multipolarity, the big countries will do as they wish in their respective spheres. The little countries will suffer what they must. No one in the global south will care much about Greenland or Venezuela because we already have our own serious problems.
Oh there will be plenty of criticism of the piracy, just as there is almost worldwide criticism of what is being done in Gaza. But there will be no armed intervention in the Americas. The Monroe Doctrine is a couple centuries old, and has only once been challenged, by Nikita Khrushchev. That nearly set off a nuclear war and no one is going to try that again.
Multipolarity means that regional powers get to rule their own backyards and no one tries to rule the world. In the subtext of the Anchorage talks was the suggestion that Russia would not interfere if the US took Greenland as long as the US got out of Eurasia. The battle of the Americas is to determine whether Brazil, or a coalition of Latin American states can arise to become a southern pole of the hemisphere. Russia and China will not get involved in any serious way.
I rent my housing through an agency. The owner is an investor who lives in China. I am never more than 3 months away from homelessness, as the owner could sell the house with 3 months notice. This has happened three times in the past decade at prior addresses. My son in law has a full time job, but lives in a van as he can't afford housing. My expenses exceed my old age pension. When the savings run out ...
No one in the US or Venezuela GAF or has spoken up for me. So MN can pound sand. Even now US residents enjoy extraordinary economic benefits, enjoy them while they last.
You are mistaken. Your time line is too short. But, sure, if you only care about avoiding control by the Anglo-American Oligarchy for the next 5-10 year, then don't care.
If you oppose the Empire, then now is the best time to stop it.
Reports of Russia's economic demise have been frequent and since 2008, pretty much incorrect.
Yoni, this comment is aimed at GM I surmise. It's not under his trolling comment though. Many may not see the connection.
Yes, I know, but Substack blocked the comment and put it where they wanted. GM is a protected Substacked linked intelligence operative.
GM is charged to intoxicate the comment section and weaponize every post against Putin with the aim of demonize him like Sadam, Gadafi, Maduro et al as a previous stage for regime change. Thats the playbook. He works with others here. Unfortunately there is a bunch of barely informed people here.
Where do we get informed on this, whatever it is? So we become informed people...
There are plenty of them, despite the internet censorship. Start avoiding the legacy media. That's a good departure point. For Ukraine, I would say the Grayzone, Eva Barlett, Vanessa Bealy, Christelle Neant, Andrei Martianov, the Duran... Havent you heard about them? Really? Excuse me, but I doubt it.
:-) i heard about all of the above.
Now all those people who are not familiar with them should be able to find them.
Where do we get informed on this, whatever it is? So we become informed people...
Any source which either explicitly or implicitly denies or obfuscates jewish involvement in any of these issues is immediately suspect.
Sources such as RT / Sputnik which are blocked / banned in the western information space are also helpful, although they have their blind spots too, eg in blaming "evil German nazis" for all the problems in the world, or "anglo saxons," which again, seeks to disguise the jewish / bolshevik issue, which soviet Russia was completely controlled by.
The "German nazi" theme is completely destroyed by a little light reading, eg of John Wear's "Germany's War," which can be read for free via the Ron Unz w/s.
The real nazis are the jews; the real heroes are the fascists, and the ultimate truth is found in Biblical revelation.
Not 'the Jews'
'Zionists' would be more acurate.
WWII had interestin abbreviations
StaSi >Staats Sicherheid >National Security Agency
GeStaPo >Geheime Staats Politzei >Secret Service
But the NaZi one is never really explained. The more i think about it... National Zionismus starts to make sense.
Im not sure, as i can't find any reference.
"...and the ultimate truth is found in Biblical revelation." ~ Tim Webb
Sounds like you want your mindfuck to be everyone's.
may be because there aren't any US ships, except the few military ones?
Simple question -- would the USSR have turned back?
The USSR depleted itself. The question is moot.
First, the URSS turned back every time when the tactical situation was unfavourable as all countries do. The USA "turned back" in Vietnam, Afghanistan.
Second, cannot you even understand that the URSS is an example of ultimate defeat, not a muster of successful strategy.
You have zero understanding of how and why the USSR was collapsed.
"Was collapsed" being the key word. By its own elites, it did not collapse on its own.
And not because it was an unworkable failing system, but in order to loot the largest in human history amount of accumulated in the commons real wealth.
Before that happened, and after nuclear parity was achieved in the 1960s, the USSR would have never allowed the US to fire a single shot into its territory without a devastating response. Meanwhile Putin, even though he supposedly has strategic weaponry superiority, is not only tolerating mass air raids every night (right as we speak a power plant around Moscow was hit), but is refusing to even acknowledge the US is doing and is behaving as only slightly less disgusting Trump boot licker than the Europeans.
The USSR faced opponents with politicians who were more than just amateurish puppets, and could make real decisions.
Russia is facing a complete oligarchy, where the actual decision-makers are living on private offshored Islands, complete with the inevitable well-stocked bunkers, and perfectly happy for Russia to take the blame for their own plans to depopulate the West.
MAD no longer works when one side actively wants to be destroyed, does it?
A mutual hostage system where one side actively hates all the hostages is a very delicate situation.
Within the next decade at furthest, likely more sooner than later, the Western financial system will collapse again, and those 'in the know' won't even care if they take the whole World with them.
The assault on Venezuela is a desperate attempt to get more 'assets' that can be borrowed against, to stave this off for another year or two.
The psychopathic Roman Empire would have destroyed everything before it fell too, and every Western Empire since has the same ethos.
Britain deliberately started both WWs, knowing they would cost 10s of millions of lives.
Is the US any different?
My "zero understanding" is apparently enough to come to the conclusion that, when the political class of a country decides to completely break with the system that has guided said country under their leadership for decades, no further need of defeat is needed.
Even more so, if together with the system, said State loses a big part of population and lands which belonged to it for centuries and finishes at war with the most important of the secessionist States.
Defeat indeed.
Traitors you will say. Was is the worth of a system that produces traitors at the very top and nobody with force and decision to oppose them?
If I am "zero" you are probable minus 25 ° Celsius.
It's a judgement call, really.
What you are implicitly advocating for is a return to an era when the MAD philosophy prevailed - in retrospect, we can see that it worked - but its weakness was demonstrated on several occasions when missiles were launched by one side or the other which according to that philosophy, should have resulted in immediate retaliation and thus the obliteration of the entire world, and with that, the cancellation of the birth of GM to be able talk about anything.
In the Putin era, we have a more considered and less Brinkman - like approach, ie "Slow to Anger," and the implicit belief in being able to defeat some geopolitical threat in a conventional albeit more drawn-out and potentially painful way, at least in the short term - and this approach seems to be very much bearing fruit, although we may well see another year of the slow-motion collapse of the west before it's all over.
So the choice is between a young man's hot-headedness, and the more mature man's diplomacy and increasing awareness of realpolitik.
On balance, then, I think I will go for the latter approach.
I think the fall of USSR was a regime change operation using soft power and bribe after the fall of iron curtain. Otherwise it had the capability to pull itself together under a decent leader.
This is about the oil, obviously, but that is the long-term objective.
The reason it is happening now is that it is also a blocking move against Russia. They are going to escalate massively against Russia and want their immediate backyard free of Russian and Chinese allies so that there are no Oreshniks within range of DC. Not that Putin has serious intention to put them there, but they are making sure.
Cuba will be next too.
Oh,Putin will never do it, so why matter? Russia has been selling SU-27s, S300, Kalibers and setting a Kalashnikov factory in Venezuela during the last 3 decades just for fun... Like the one you provide to us.
Comical , the US , once the world champions in regime change ( admittedly a quite small field at best ) , bungling around like sideshow clowns , complete with big shoes and small bicycles, publicly trumpeting each ”cunning plan”.
A couple of missiles lobbed at their “Pirates of Penzance” navy and they will be back in Miami, as occurred with the Houthis.
Maybe drop a few bombs on some banana plantations (aka drug cartels) so trump can announce victory on Fox news
Couldn’t organise a regime change in California.
And California needs a regime change worse than Venezuela!
lol
That could be easier than Venezuela.
In the real world this is true. What we are seeing out of our country's executive administration is a bluff and bluster comedy show costing $$$$$$$$$$ we do not really have. If they do decide on the Vietnam option it will be a bad, bloody affair, as some other commenters here do tell us. We once had a president who spoke softly and carried a big stick. We now have one who yells loudly and carried a stick up his back side.
Californians are clutching to their chains.
Pearls surely , not chains
Pearls are long gone, only chains are left to clutch to.
>A couple of missiles lobbed at their “Pirates of Penzance” navy and they will be back in Miami, as occurred with the Houthis.
So why hasn't it been done already?
This week the US launched ballistic missiles at Russia, why has Russia not retaliated, for which, after all that has happened, some sunk US ships in the Caribbean would be ideal?
Instead Putin admitted to committing grand treason yet again, by acknowledging he agreed to hand over two regional capitals of the Russian Federation to the Nazis.
I will tell you what the difference is here:
First, Suleimani was an actual serious strategist, unlike the 5D chess grandmaster dummy in the Kremlin, and he also truly cared about his life's mission. So he devised the strategy of maximum autonomy of the different members of the resistance, and did not simply have Iran hand over materiel to the various allies, he handed over expertise on how to make weapons and how to dig tunnels. Thus the Houthis are fairly autonomous.
Second, the Houthis have no megayachts, no mansions in the West, no dual and triple citizenships in the US, the UK and Israel, and thus nothing to lose and no split loyalties. And they sincerely believe in what they are fighting for.
The result is that after facing the US directly with a fraction of a percent of the resources that Russia has, they forced the US to back off.
While Russia does not believe in anything other than making money and the result is that all that Putin does is begging Trump to let him insert his tongue even deeper in Trump's unwashed anus, he likes it so much...
You mean Donald putting his tongue in Bubba’s unwashed hole while Eppie put his Cuban cigar first in Mel’s briefcase, and notice it’s not about the money this time it’s corruption that’s going to put an end to the war, Zel can retire Venezuela perhaps?
Nuts, nutser, nutsest.
thank you for your comedy show Volodymyr.
It's a very good job you're not in charge or we'd all have been dead by now.
In a padded cell in an asylum there are no buttons, just WIFI to post comments here.
‚Putin agreeing to hand over two regional capitals of Russia to the Nazis‘? What are you talking about ?
The 28-point proposal, which features Russia getting Slavyansk and Kramatorsk but freezing the Kherson and Zaporozhye at the current line of contact.
That's Trump's proposal, Putin will never except that or 'EU peacekeepers' in Ukraine, even if that clown Zelensky signs it.
Which Putin said he basically accepted and made compromises on the previous Russian position in order to accept it.
Look, the whole situation is simply absurd.
Russia should not be in such negotiations at all. It should be:
1) issuing a credible nuclear ultimatum to NATO to back off or else
2) revoking the recognition of Ukraine as an independent state and claiming all of it
3) committing to full de-Ukrainization of the territory, because that is the only way to do de-Nazification, regardless of what violations of "human rights" that will necessitate
4) mobilizing the human and material resources to do the above
Instead Putin asked for the four regions.
Which does not solve absolutely anything, as the most sensitive to Russian security regions are not Kherson and the Zaporozhye, but Chernigov, Sumy, Kharkov, Kiev and Poltava (this if at least the SRBM threat to Moscow is to be eliminated), which Putin is neither claiming nor doing anything on the ground to recover, and the MRBM/hypersonic threat from Eastern Europe is not addressed at all.
And yet Putin is making concessions even on that already defeatist position...
I am sometimes driven to such depth of despair that I also feel that most drastic measures have to be taken. But Russia is not Houthis and retaliatory measures by Russia would reverberate on an apocalyptic scale, that is why all the caution on Putin‘s part. Russia does not need all Ukraine -it would be a disaster to administer and run such a huge territory. It is enough to reduce it to a rump state and make sure it cannot pose threats in future. And you will see - Ze will fuck up, refuse the US generous offer, Russians will push on and will take more strategically important oblasts
GM, what’s that famous shakespearian quote, “a lot of noise signifying nothing”? Maybe that’s what the SMO will turn out to be.
Boy you are impatient!
Volodya has got my confidence.
How old are you, anyways?
Why do you think this 28-point thing originated from the Russians? It is a mostly U.S. concoction and Russians politely but firmly said that might consider it as a conversation starting point.
Read what Putin said:
>Vladimir Putin: Yes, of course, there is no secret here. We have had almost no public discussion of it, only in the most general terms, but it is not a secret. President Trump’s peace plan to resolve the situation in Ukraine was discussed before the meeting in Alaska, and during this preliminary discussion, the American side asked us to make certain compromises, to show, as they said, flexibility.
>The main point of the meeting in Alaska, the main purpose of the meeting in Alaska, was that during the talks in Anchorage, we confirmed that despite certain complicated issues and difficulties, we nevertheless agree with those proposals and are ready to show the flexibility they asked for.
Well, if I remember correctly Putin also said that all objectives of the special military operation will be achieved. Moreover - the situation on the battlefield has changed since Anchorage and ‚flexibility‘ is a flexible modifier
28 points has Trump's fingerprints all over it.
It originated from the fevered brain of Mr Whitkoff, not from the Russians.
Many if not most of its provisions are complete non-starters for Russia.
Crazy degenerate head, Taco's plan calls for nothing more.
Sorry GM - but the proposal is a starting point only.... nothing will be handed over to the Azov and their kind.
So why hasn't this been done already? Why do you always have to come looking for a spanking?
According to your logic either you start WWIII and risk a major nuclear war where millions could die or you are a traitor.
You keep spewing your madness like a broken record.
Given that the US is firing ballistic and cruise missile at Russian cities and infrastructure, the option to not start the war (which has already been started for you) is no longer there.
They are but it is no where near the scale of the energy crippling blows the bandera/nafo collective are taking in Ukraine.
There is this thing call conflict de-escalation but you want an all out nuclear exchange with no regards to life.
Good thing you are not in charge otherwise metropolitan areas east and west would see millions upon millions dismantled on the atomic level.
When did the US launch ballistic missiles at Russia ?
Are you sure about that ?
On Tuesday most recently:

One thing is for sure. You are increasingly unhappy about the Russian advances that not only the alt media but the legacy media is admitting too. Even the Financial Times is acknowledging the new reality. What kind of Russian citizen could ignore the victories even the enemies of his country concede? You cant be Russian. By the way, you never claimed you were. You beat every level of treason imaginable for a Russian citizen. I bet you are Ukranian. 100%.
You are in complete denial about the pending Minsk-3. Which Ushakov just pretty much confirmed.
And which I have been warning about for years.
You have been warning shit. You are just an intoxicator. You cant be Russian. A Russian would never be happy of the death of thousands of Russian soldiers in Syria or Ukraine, claiming that they did nothing, that they achieved nothing. And if it was the case that Russian would never dare to speak that shit publicly because he would be lynched as he opens his mouth. You can read Russian, maybe speak Russian, but you are not Russian. You are an Ukranian liar pretending to be Russian to pour shit on Russia, which you hate more than anything.
Rancid cretin , woken up with a start under the beach umbrella in Bali have we , with a dope induced hangover and a picture of Putin barechested on horseback , pant, pant.
Killafornia!!!!
notice how Ukrozionist operator GM always divert any topic to attack Putin. They still believe removing Putin will defeat and tear apart Russia. Talk about Venezuela... Putin. Talk about Iran... Putin. And on and on. And he works with some side cocksuckers.
You are right—like Scipio Africanus and his reflexive coda to every subject “Cartago est delenda”. How does he immediately get a list of targets deep in Russia? However, for some time he has called the end of the NATO / Russia conflict as inevitably nuclear, and here he is right v
why is a nuclear conflict inevitable? Facts say the contrary.
A badly-wounded animal is always the most dangerous type, whether it is in Europa or the US.
Donnie has frequently revealed his complete inability to respond diplomatically to difficulties; eg when he foolishly stated that US nuclear subs would be moved closer to Russia on the back of a tweet by Medvedev; and again when he stated the US would start nuclear tests just because Russia had flown a missile with a nuclear propulsion system.
It doesn't take him more than a few seconds to take decisions which the rest of us might take weeks to arrive at - even if those decisions derive from a brain which is long past its sell-by date.
Because the West, and more particularly Europe’s leaders, cannot lose in Ukraine without undermining their years-long financial and military support, and showing that their judgment was flawed. From this one could logically reason that their only course is escalation and/or sending in their own troops. Faced with a very broad coalition of forces threatening them R will respond with nuclear weapons.
Russia now has new weapons which are as destructive as the nuclear variety, but without their long term and toxic effects.
Certain European capitals may well be the first population centres to welcome them, should Europe's leaders decide to drag their nations into war against Russia.
My hope is that NATO does put troops into Ukraine. Nukes come into play not that Russia is afraid, but more that NATO takes a hit to the chin when one of its troop concentrations is taken out. At that point, NATO might go nuclear to respond to the body bags seen on TV.
NATO is not ready in the slightest to the casualties they will take if they enter the war, thus they will go nuclear first if it comes to it.
thats far from plausible, sorry
" ... Ceterum (autem) censeo Carthaginem esse delendam ("Furthermore, I think that Carthage must be destroyed"), often abbreviated to Carthago delenda est or delenda est Carthago ("Carthage must be destroyed"), is a Latin oratorical phrase attributed to Cato the Elder, a politician of the Roman Republic. The phrase originates from debates held in the Roman Senate prior to the Third Punic War (149–146 BC) between Rome and Carthage. Cato is said to have used the phrase as the conclusion to all of his speeches to push for the war, even when the speech was otherwise unrelated to Carthage or foreign affairs.... "
Thanks!!
Yeah, it’s like they get in a circle. What a bunch of jerks.
Do you mean by that that he's the number one blowjob giver?
It's amazing alright. Then there's Putin the traitor which is the other line pushed. It's all Putin's fault. Frankly the comment section here has degenerated, and it's hardly worth the effort as there has been an assortment of shills/agents if not outright bots. I just watch the maps and steady diminution of western resources and Ukrainian manpower. But I guess witch doctor zeliboba can resurrect the dead for an endless supply of meat.
Yes. But think about it. The shills/agent presence proves Simplicius blog is valuable as a source of information and that they are worried about it. Beware the sources where everybody agrees to drink from as irrefutable, aka legacy media.
The flack is always heaviest right over the target.
We won't have any more bananas?
Hear ya, awesome post...Kudos
In fairness, that would be a much better candidate than Venezuela. I wouldn’t mind seeing Gavin Newsom hauled off to Gitmo in orange pyjamas for ten years of 'enhanced interrogation' and a show trial.
Отвяжись кретин!
One of the best summaries of the current state of affairs, with some historical context:
https://open.substack.com/pub/warwickpowell/p/from-kabul-to-kiev?r=2jojoi&utm_medium=ios
It is difficult to sink a carrier much easier a destroyer but still I think even dying empire (I think it is only sick because of luck of conquest success and Venezuela can change that at least for a while) can cause lots of trouble. We are not there yet anyway.
Sinking is unnecessary, the threat of damage is sufficient to get them out of harms way as the Houthis, with relatively unsophisticated weapons proved.
Venezuela has not much to do with drugs or oil. This is a neocon Obama plan going back to 2009, that they tried to start in 2015. China and its control of rare earth minerals is the reason. They want that blue gold
https://venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/11372/
Trump also sees an opportunity to annoy China and Russia in this hemisphere. If he hasn't realized that he would lose a war with them on their own turf, he's crazier than I thought.
If you've seen him as sane until now, you're crazy.
"Crazier than I thought" does not mean sane.
Venezuela has not much to do with oil ? Really?
World largest known oil-reserve…
Read the article. Its all about rare earth. If they wanted the oil they would've gone after it a long time ago
Actually it goes back to the tail end of the Clinton years, when the oligarchs accidentally allowed honest elections and Chavez became president, and was made permanent policy under Shrub.
Tulsi is trying to remind Trump of his promises, I don't think she's happy about all of this.
Maduro will probably make a deal with Trump, because he knows Trump has gone neocon. Of course, he will talk it over with China and Russia before signing anything. They have been supportive of Venezuela through all the Western bullying and sanctions.
Trump is draining his base, not the swamp.
That is what I thought too.
Maduro can make a deal, and the Americans will demand Venezuela keep their end of the deal, but the Americans will break theirs at every opportunity. Just like the Israelis behave.
And most likely as soon as Maduro comes out of cover, he'll be assassinated - again, just like the Israelis behave.
The U.S. is not agreement capable, anything they sign isn't worth the paper it's written on.
Bingo. Agreements with USA, even with signatures are worth as much as toilet paper used after explosive diarrhea.
Sorry for the imagery, but it's never enough to emphasize how worthless USA's "word" and "signatures" are.
Sorry, but toilet paper actually has value and utility.
Indeed, but not after being used like I said above.
They want to completely takeover all resources of Venezuela.
If that was true, she would resign. No one with actual principles, that disagrees with what this warmongering, psychopathic "administration" is doing, would still be part of it. Tulsi is exactly the same as Trump and all the other USA scum.
Trump's base is too dumb to be drained. Most of them like their orange fascist dictator and will ignore everything he's doing, that goes against his promises and that make their lives worse.
Either that or they hate Trump and would prefer some other dictator. Americans love bread and circuses while they virtue signal to the rest of the world.
@Politugal
"Trump's base is too dumb to be drained"
----------
Perhaps not.
Trump's Big Beautiful Billionaire (give away) Bill included the reclassification of the majority of US health care workers as "non professionals", screwing all of those in the process of paying for educations in nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, drug rehabilitation and many other classifications FREQUENTLY WORKED AT BY WIVES & DAUGHTERS of MAGA types, plus INSULTING those already working in those fields... In the USA, what you do is what you ARE, there isn't a worse offense to an American worker than what these fools just did. Which is kind of the last straw for many of his remaining followers.
Check out Trump's Secretary of the Department of Education, Linda McMahon. She got rich running PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING franchises, clearly a strong background for running the US's educational system?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_McMahon
----------
"Linda McMahon, the former co-founder and CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), was appointed as the 13th United States Secretary of Education in March 2025."
You cant made a deal with fascist empire, they want all, you better fight because at the end you will be forced to do so.
it is not Fascist - it is JEWish
The reason why "Fascist!" has become such a term of knee jerk opprobium / revulsion is because the fascists were the only ones able and willing and committed to opposing the jewish bolsheviks whose plan was to invade the whole of Europe in 1941 - Hitler forestalled them, and they have never forgiven either Germany or him for doing so.
It's the same reasoning behind why nobody in "decent" society would ever admit to being a National Socialist - even though the ideology was so incredibly successful when it was introduced.
The jew washing runs deep.
Exactly. The Jew is the problem. Any distraction from that is not a solution.
Shut up you stupid bot
Cancel us harder.
It's all you have.
It is oposite, bolsheviks where and always will be against fascism, and thats a reason when you fascist come to power you always first kill and torture us communists before everyone else, we are only ones who dont buy your stupid crap and we are willing to fight you. Judaism is a religion not a people, jews as a people is western construct. All your problema with ”jews” are caused by zionistic clerical fascism created and used as a geopolitical tool by western fascistic imperialism led by USA. Western bilionares are your ”jews” you poor intelectually limited neo-nazi.
Maduro will make a deal because Trump has gone neocon? Could you elaborate on that? It sounds ilogical. No, Trump thinks the Chavez era is almost dead and needs to be finished. The Nobel Prize for the Machado patsy was the foreword of a regime change outright operation. Maduro tried to negotiate long ago with Grenell, but he wont cast the Chinese, the Russian and the Cubans out of Venezuela. The reasons I think Trump has made up his mind on attacking Venezuela is:
1. He is weak internally. He needs a splendid little war to shine his spoiled image. Patriotism and God against evil Maduro is the recipe for the MAGA sheeple.
2. He thinks Maduro is a loser. The thing Trump hates the more and instinctively runs away from is to be associated with losers, or disgraced characters like Epstein. He is all about the Monroe doctrine and zones of influence. He wants the Chinese and the Russians out of Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba, who will be next.
3. He is a jewish sabbat goy, a zionist paid whore. He has always been. And the jewish bankers desperately need the Venezuelan collateral. They dont need to grab it by themselves. All the American contractors who will get mining concessions in the new American colony, will need credits to banks, which will necessarily demand collateral guarantees. This is meant to save the sinking western banking debt scheme for at least a decade. More credit will be issued. The stock market will soar, and the dollar will reevaluate again. The system will have survived until the next crisis, years ahead. But someone else deals with that...
However, desperation and urgency are never a good recipe. A failure in Venezuela could trigger a catastrophic domino effect and give the coup de grace to a clearly criminal banking cartel. Thanks to Trump !!! His lifelong concerns to be the ultimate winner will be crowned by the biggest chain reaction economic and political collapse in history, which everybody is wishing. The end of this capitalist corporate murderous bloodthirsty mafia nightmare.
Gabbard has been castrated and either resigns or remains a laughing-stock.
Castrated. I can’t decide if you’re an idiot or really funny.
Not an either-or situation. It's both.
'Ow dare you! I have an O-level you know.
Gabbard has been on every possible side of every possible thing, she goes whichever way the wind blows.
Hasn't she already resigned, and Rubio now has the Nation Security Advisor job as well as secretary of state?
I don't know, she might be out to lunch for all the difference she's made.
zion don does not care about the MAGAtards - just his jew masters
“Neocon”, or just gone off the rails (or are they the same?).
Tulsi is like my weathervane, she goes whichever way the wind blows, she is about as reliable as Trump, she's been on both sides of pretty much everything.
Trump IS THE SWAMP!!!!!!!
Well, his bottom is quite soggy and smells revolting. Close enough?
I lean toward agreeing with you. I remain open to the possibility however that even Tulsi may in truth be manipulated/blinded/deceived. Her access to full spectrum (the forest) solid data is limited by design. Anyone attempting to work *within* this system to expose it beyond a certain layer either becomes captured by it, or exterminated.
The Biden administration tried to destroy her, even put her on the no fly list.
She has to be careful about how she exits, but she will if Trump doesn't remember what he ran on. I believe she's hoping to remind him, but if he doesn't wake up she will make plans to leave.
She may be waiting to see if he becomes a neutered lame duck next year after the midterms, and possibly impeached.
Trouble is, he’s not incentivised to care. Like Starmer, Merz, VDL and all the rest of them, he is a disposable, short-term tool for the neoliberal order. What’s the worst the plebs can do? Kick him out in favour of… another disposable tool of the neoliberal order.
Meet the new boss; same as the old boss. Time after time after time after time after time.
True statement. I ain't never returning to support Trump beyond a couple of specific policies.
Donald left us. We didn't leave him.
Where's the Israel portion? 🤔 That lunatic leader in waiting of Venezuela has been voiced by multiple pundits to be a MOSSAD agent. Another Melei. Also, Colonel Larry Wilkerson still has sources in the Pentagon and said Israeli agents are already in Venezuela. Rubio represents the Gusano Industrial Complex of South Florida as well as being Mariam Adelson's shoeshine boy. And Washington D.C. has been supplanted by Israel so it's an Israeli-Gusano project and the US military is just the muscle? I just pray this blows up in Hogshits face but I also pray for the Venezuelan people. Another people fighting the International Criminal Syndicate who overspent on their credit card and need new "assets" to steal to bail themselves out.
Mossad IS the CIA.
Epstein through ghislaine Maxwell’s father an Israeli agent linked to Mossad, blackmailing politicians and judges through minors of 14.
Mossad is a CIA asset/subcontractor who also works on their own "off the books" agendas- And filters some intelligence going to their employer in furtherance of those personal projects.
Ought to rename it CIA&M.
Lmao. Oh nooos it's the jooos.. dude.
Always.
Maryna: It isn't the "jooos".
However, there is the "Jewish Mob". It is a real thing. It has tremendous influence over American Politics and the American Economy. There are many prominent Jews who oppose the "Jewish Mob". Blumenthal, Finkelstein, Mate for example. There are many prominent American "Industrialists" who support the Mob.
I don't want to call them Zionists because they don't really care about Israel. If you have a better label, let's hear it.
But, let's stop pretending that (as GHWB put it) those "crazies from the basement" don't exist. They are the reason the "tail wags the dog" meme exists and has relevance. You do a disservice to Jews who oppose this criminal organization by conflating the "good guys" with the "bad guys".
The crazies from the basement are all atheist anyway, just like the ones we elect who put their hand on a Bible and swear to uphold the Constitution.
Not that the "believers" behave any differently either.
Well, it was Wolfowitz who wrote their organizing memo. On which PNAC was founded.
Such unsavory neocons that bunch.
JEW Wolfowitz
No idiot! He's a member of the "Jewish Mob".
They aren't the same thing!

No true believer would swear to uphold the Constitution.
In fact, we are told never to swear to anything.
As far as I remember, Trump never put his hand on the Bible when he was sworn in - it hovered above the pages, without touching.
Some even noticed.
I am so tired of the nonsense. IF Blumenthal et al were such good little Jews they would be screaming from the rooftops that allowing dual passport holders to be involved in political office need to be outlawed, they would also be screaming about the injustice of Israel having a policy of NO extradition of any criminal to any country even if it is country of origin. Just shut the F up about good Jews. It is just running cover for a very evil cabal of criminals.
If you want to find a reason to hate Jews, you can always find one. Who is "screaming" about Israeli privilege anywhere? Pretty much no one. If dual passports are ever brought up, it is in passing.
Brian Mast has been talked about over and over again. Yet he still represents the Florida 21st district.
Thanks for making my point for me. IF anyone can "talk" or "scream" about it, it must be the so called Good Jew. Anyone else will be viciously attacked by the lobby. Do you even have the ability to think critically?? Or do you just go with corporate narratives?
Are there any Jews you respect?
You just make it harder to talk about the "Jewish Mob".
hatred of the jew is the love of mankind...
perfect response...
Show me one of your Fascist heroes with as much guts as Blumenthal.

@JohnOnKaui -You do realize that there was a time way back ending in (1970s?) when the US didn't allow 2nd citizenships, and many Canadians renounced their's to work in the US and were begging for Canadian citizenship back, close to their retirement? So if the dual citizenships were allowed at some point if was to accommodate Israeli mostly, not us mortals
They scream about it more than many of the non-jews, not that it'll help. Rule makers are already sold out. American people must stop voting dual citizens to any position of power and if every candidate is a dual citizen, boycott the election.
here comes JohnOnKaui guntgarding his jew tribe..
. do Blumenthal, Finkelstein, Mate call for the dismantling of the illegal genocidal jew state of israel??
You actually do have a group of antizionist jews who go under the name "Neturei Karta," so you think "They must be OK, right? Not all jews are like that."
Now that may be the case - but they are as addicted to the racist anti-white rhetoric as any other jew, once you check out what they actually believe.
They just claim not to want a "Home for those without a state," but will undoubtedly scuttle off there once their child abuse gets detected.
The Jew does not support a home for white people.
To be fair it would have to be several different homes for the White race. I propose in Europe ;)
The jew wants every white person dead - and in the most horrific and degrading a way as humanly possible.
Do you consider the Jew criminal hq of ‘isreal” legitimate johnonkaui ??
Take a glance at Ukraine, how many of your holy tribe have already scurried back to Tel Aviv to avoid the consequences of stealing hundreds of millions of US taxpayer money and guess what the Jews and Zionists who facilitated the theft from the US side are laughing while spreading their cash all over some little naked boy they bought somewhere.
Hahaha! It’s what I do every night and morning, look under my bed for jooooossss!
You're more likely to find them under your pre pubescent son's bed.
Check your bank account also.
"defense of the jew is traitor to your race,"
or are you just defending your chicken swinger sin merchant tribe "maryna"?
Venezuela would make a great South American Ukraine.. I bet there's a bundle to be made
I doubt it. The South Americans dont have it in them.
I was thinking that also...
Venezuela once had a significant Jewish community, mostly composed of Sephardim, but the antisemitic policies of Chavez and his successor have resulted in most of that group migrating out of the country. I actually happen to know a family that landed in Florida.
Add Maduro to the list of antisemitic Mossad agents.
An 'antisemitic' Mossad agent? Why would the Mossad hire an antisemite? Why would an antisemite join Mossad? Am I missing something here?
You’re missing the whole crew…Azov, Operation Paperclip, Hamas,…

How would the Chinese/Russians respond to either an oil extortion deal or covert ops/kinetic action? Would there be a preference for one over the other, assuming that the status quo won't be maintained?
(Quite interested to hear your analysis on the Asian theater. The new Japanese PM seems fully committed to assuming the role of disposable proxy, but I'm curious about how this can be executed and whether her recent comments are the opening of an orchestrated campaign. The leader of the other Asian proxy candidate, South Korea, seems to have more autonomy, but has a history of legal problems that the empire's spooks could possibly use for leverage).
>How would the Chinese/Russians respond to either an oil extortion deal or covert ops/kinetic action?
Given how they responded to Syria, which was an actually existential to them situation, while Venezuela isn't, yet they did nothing (or worse, they helped the US and Israel in the case of Russia), how do you think they will respond?
How existential was Syria for China/Russia? I thought it was so for Iran, but not quite China nor even Russia.
Syria falls, Iran is wide open to attack (happened already, will happen again)
Iran falls, Russia is wide open to attack from the Caspian and from Central Asia.
China starts to have problems too at that point.
Russia falls, and then China is finished.
That is how the dominoes fall, and they are already in motion now, because Putin betrayed Syria.
Iran refuse to get a deterrent, and will pay the price unfortunately. Russia will always side with Israel.
Russia as a whole would not, but the current ruling elite is fully captured.
thats your propaganda line, but youre achiving shit here
Exactly. Medvedev is also a Zionist, and is often tipped as an "alternative ".
Meet the new boss!
another intoxicator. Do you hop in pairs?
And if you fall, it's a journey to the afterlife, let's pray for that.
Sure, everybody knows Putin betrayed Jesuschrist
New lies of the poisonous antirussian propagandist GM, aka Great Moron, always working to put Russia down. The good Syrian people could breath for an extra 9 years, from 2015 to 2024, thanks to Russia and its great leader Vladimir Putin. Now they are being massacred and raped by GMs yihady friends. For further information
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_intervention_in_the_Syrian_civil_war
>an extra 9 years
After which the jihadist bashibozuks still descended on them and started massacring them, after Putin first defanged, then abandoned Syria, and even kidnapped Assad.
Assad would be impaled now if it wasnt for Putins protection. Where do you find your fantasies?
I know the history, you don't.
Go back, for example, to the chemical weapons affair.
That is perhaps the best illustration of the role Putin played
Syria didn't have nukes, but it had built up a chemical weapon deterrent against Israel.
Then suddenly they get accused of using chemical weapons and Obama threatens bombing of Syria.
Putin steps in and says "Assad will dispose of the chemical weapons", and Obama postpones the strikes.
Net result? Syria lost its deterrent, gained nothing.
And the US then not only still bombed it, but occupied a third of it too.
But Putin was praised for his diplomatic genius. Genius indeed, if you understand who was playing on what sides.
This is as classic a good cop/bad cop routine as you will ever find.
What the USSR would have done in this situation is to arm Assad to the teeth so that he can kick the Turks and the Americans out by force. No Astana deals, no disabling of air defense so that Israel can bomb Syria without a bother, none of the things that Putin actually did and didn't do.
another piece of Ukranian propaganda
In fact, it was another Putins master move. Neither Syria nor Egypt signed the chemical weapons Convention in 1993, the opportunity offered by Moscow to Damascus to join was a bargain: it not only put an end to the crisis with the United States and France, but it also helped to get rid of unnecessary stockpiles become increasingly difficult to defend. For all practical purposes, President al -Assad specified that Syria was acting at the request of Russia and not under pressure from the United States, an elegant way of stressing the responsibility of Moscow to protect the country.
Keep slandering Putin
This is the chemical weapons story for those will to counter GM Ukrozionist propaganda.
www.voltairenet.org/article180314
You know shit, since your intoxications and lies have been exposed multiple times. Russia tried to save its ally and bases in Syria. They couldnt save the ally, because of the stupidity of that ally. But the bases are still there. Same for Iran. without the Russian help the country would have been obliterated. You said from your kiev armchair that Pokrovks was just another worthless hamlet, just like the Ukranian propaganda does. Look the entire front crumble now multiple sectors. Thats your reliability. The more you try to put Putin down, the more ridiculous you look.
Does Putin kidnaps everyone fleeing to Russia to protect their lives away from scumbags like you? This was the recent case of ex Biden attorney Tara Reade
https://www.russiaherald.com/news/273849004/ex-biden-aide-flees-to-russia-over-safety-concerns
But there are many more. Artists. Businessmen. Dissident western people. Stephen Seagal. Gerard Depardieu. All exiled in Putin's Russia.
Was Edward Snowden also kidnapped to freely live in Moscow with his wife? Probably yes in your sick mind, since you lie as you breath, unashamely.
Keep trying
aka Great Moron? I was thinking of General Motors?
General Moron.
“The new Japanese PM seems fully committed to assuming the role of disposable proxy’ Just following in the footsteps of Ursula and Kallas, European women who will run to the comfort of their warm, well equipped kitchens after triggering a war – in case the kitchens will be still there… and of course we men will have to go to war to protect the crazy chicks.
Made me German smile. Refreshingly politically incorrect but true.
In my book, lies are politely incorrect.
There is a lot of truth in that statement about "chicks".
People that have not faced concrete, urgent, physical danger, do not easily understand the path of events leading to serious dangerous situation.
That is the life experience of women in the Western world and that explains figures like von der Leyen, H. Clinton. Kallas who apparently think that relations between military powers are something resembling a divorce process.
‘People that have not faced concrete, urgent, physical danger, do not easily understand the path of events leading to serious dangerous situation.’
I guess I must have learned something while tiptoeing around dead bodies of soldiers who invaded my city when I was seven years old.
So after the US makes a deal with Maduro, will Operation Southern Spear count as another war Trump stopped?
He's already preparing his victory speech.
Please God, don't let him do it on an aircraft carrier in a flight uniform with a codpiece.
His Nobel prize acceptance speech
In his mind it's the noble prize.😄
Yes
The corresponding Nobel Peace Prize is already printed:)))
Yess, he needs at least ten stopped wars to get his Novel Piss Prize...
Well, the Norwegians are ready for this and even more.
He'll probably show up in Denmark for his prize because he got the countries mixed up.
It wont be a deal, it will be an article of surrender. All US deals are just place holders till the US is ready to commit the coup de grace.
Venezuela regime change is Trump psyoops! Another Flop.
Next year, the USA will experience the beginnings of a regime change with the midterm elections.
Just like a joke from Covid era," Due to travel restrictions, CIA decided to run a coup domestically this year."
Trump what a complete fuckwit! Sure isn’t winning any friends. China & Russia should flex & send a joint naval group over.
I'd wager that Russia has sent them sone very potent deterrents. Also personnel to bodyguard Maduro.
Just like the very potent deterrents they sent Assad?
And that was an actually existential to Russia situation.
Venezuela isn't.
Ignorant statement from the Troll.
We all know what Russia did from 2015 to save Syria and we all know why Syria fell. I won't waste time repeating facts to this troll.
*We* know why Syria fell (Putin played the good cop in coordination with his Jewish buddies).
*You* still have no clue.
Of all the mysteries of this forum the amount of personal vitriol you get is puzzling. It’s not like you get personal with them. It’s not like what you say is crystal clearly absurd. For all we all here know of the workings of Power your opinion sounds to me as good as many others’ and better than a few. And yet, they respond as if you’d just insulted their mother and all their ancestors. 🤷🏻♂️
Anyone who constantly bloviates about the necessity of using nuclear weapons needs to be hammered mercilessly.
Not puzzling at all. General Moron is an anti Russian troll. The only puzzling mystery is who pays the troll to constantly troll.
Oh, I have explained the psychology at work here on numerous occasions.
We are dealing with a cargo cult -- these are people who are for various reasons unhappy with their current situation in the West and they see in Putin the savior knight on a white horse who will rescue Western civilization from the depredations of GloboHomo.
But the savior cannot be anything else but totally pure and perfect, otherwise there will be no salvation, thus no evidence that the anointed messiah is a corrupt crook fundamentally betraying the interests of his own country because he happens to be much more loyal to a certain other third country while internally serving the interests of the same people who already broke up the country once four decades ago and have still not been removed from power can be accepted. Regardless of the empirical facts. And not just can it not be accepted, it generates an emotional reaction of the kind you are seeing here every other day under every thread.
They fear he might be right.
Venezuela is not Syria.
There's no al Qaeda insurgents waiting to march into Caracas.
Russia saved Assad for 11 years, from 2013 to 2024. And you put it like they did nothing. Shit on Russia is your job.
And that is probably also why the DC regime is preventing Chinese and Russian ships from docking.
hope so --- https://www.twz.com/news-features/russian-general-in-venezuela-leading-advisory-mission-ukraines-intel-chief
Neither country wants to sink its navy that badly. They have no ability to project power to that part of the world.
In this case, Trump is in a part of the world where the US remains supreme.
Russian can give a dozen Sunburns to Venezuela. At that point its checkmate, but they wont. Just like they wouldn't arm Iran or let Syria properly defend itself.
A dozen missiles won't affect much. That's lunacy. If every weapon in the world worked as well as the manufacturer said it did, we'd all be dead 10 times over.
Incidentally, that's what I do. The testing. I know whereof I speak.
Even if one Sunburn got through and took out an aircraft carrier it would be game over for the Trump regime. The US public would scream for blood. My point stands.
No it doesn't. The loss of an aircraft carrier wouldn't be some disaster for the US public above and beyond screaming for enemy blood. From Trump's perspective, it's kind of a win. They'd build monuments and otherwise profess great love for the 'troops', even though most of them wouldn't have a beer with a sailor.
Really, those fighting the US neither understand the enemy nor understand its populace.
Besides which, from the Russian perspective, it would just accelerate the construction of defenses against the weapon. In this case, probably the reprogramming of existing SAMs to counter it. The endless cycle continues. You prefer to keep the weapon in abeyance so that you get the benefit of surprise when it is used.
" The loss of an aircraft carrier wouldn't be some disaster for the US public above and beyond screaming for enemy blood. "
It would because the US initiated the unprovoked hostilities. Thousands of dead troops and billions in loses in one go would end Trump.
The Venuzuelans have two choices endure a little more suffering piled on to the decades of suffering endured from US sanctions. Or sell their proud history of the Bolivarian revolution to corrupt a elite controlled by the US to facilitate exploitation so the current suffering is guaranteed for generations to come.
The major issue facing the US in it's perceived hegemononic region is the need to stop development created by Chinese and potential Russian investment. Thus the need to encourage the installation of corrupt dictators with the farcical meaningless term of democratic election to maintain the resource and human exploitation of the region through the proliferation of debt. So an example must be made of Venuzuela while in the process running the best marketing campaign for both the Chinese and Russian MIC. As nations and peoples around the world perceive the necessity to procure arms to protect their national sovereignty from a maligned hegemon.
For most of those of us who don't live in the western hemisphere, we couldn't care less. Yes, the US is engaging in blatant piracy. That's nothing new, particularly in Latin America. The fact is that no one outside the hemisphere, neither Russia nor China, is going to engage in a military confrontation with the nuclear armed US over Venezuela or Greenland. This conflict is a North and South American affair, outsiders will be little more than distant observers.
Martin Niemoller would have had something to say to you.
Niemoller does not apply, my little country home has always been someone's economic colony, never a real sovereign. That's multipolarity, the big countries will do as they wish in their respective spheres. The little countries will suffer what they must. No one in the global south will care much about Greenland or Venezuela because we already have our own serious problems.
Oh there will be plenty of criticism of the piracy, just as there is almost worldwide criticism of what is being done in Gaza. But there will be no armed intervention in the Americas. The Monroe Doctrine is a couple centuries old, and has only once been challenged, by Nikita Khrushchev. That nearly set off a nuclear war and no one is going to try that again.
Multipolarity means that regional powers get to rule their own backyards and no one tries to rule the world. In the subtext of the Anchorage talks was the suggestion that Russia would not interfere if the US took Greenland as long as the US got out of Eurasia. The battle of the Americas is to determine whether Brazil, or a coalition of Latin American states can arise to become a southern pole of the hemisphere. Russia and China will not get involved in any serious way.
I would love to know how you became familiar with the subtext of the Anchorage talks.
As far as MN goes; his words have universal application.
I rent my housing through an agency. The owner is an investor who lives in China. I am never more than 3 months away from homelessness, as the owner could sell the house with 3 months notice. This has happened three times in the past decade at prior addresses. My son in law has a full time job, but lives in a van as he can't afford housing. My expenses exceed my old age pension. When the savings run out ...
No one in the US or Venezuela GAF or has spoken up for me. So MN can pound sand. Even now US residents enjoy extraordinary economic benefits, enjoy them while they last.
You are mistaken. Your time line is too short. But, sure, if you only care about avoiding control by the Anglo-American Oligarchy for the next 5-10 year, then don't care.
If you oppose the Empire, then now is the best time to stop it.
An Oreshnik to Mar a Lago would be a good start.
This regime needs to change.
This comment should be reported.
shut up jew Nedzeppelin (what a gay handle)
And disrespectful to a certain supergroup.
exactly
Wow, a nearly 50/50 split vote. Seems like we are voting on the competancy of the CIA to achieve their goals..
Anyway, isn't accusing Maduro of blowing up his own refinery similar to accusing Putin of blowing up his own Nord Stream pipeline?
This show is growing old. It's all so tiresome.
And the Russians bombing themselves at the ZPP. Not to mention the ridiculous Nordstream conspiração theories the media presstitutes put out 😉🤪🤪
