I’d say, do you recognize yourselves? I mean, you think you do. You think you’re the same “good people” you’ve always been. It’s others that are the problem. It’s others that have to be… (wait for it)…. eliminated.
First you went after Libya. You watched your country bomb the shit out of it, send in a terrorist army, and beat to death and rape its leader in the ass with a bayonet on TV. And you cheered.
And when your leader, Hilary Clinton went on TV to laugh out loud about it and clap: “We came. We saw. He died.” You laughed. And cheered.
When your country staged the same scenario for Syria, you screamed YEAAAAHH! DIE!!! You went to bed nightly watching MSNBCCNNFOXNYTWAPO looking for a happy ending in your underpants, like B. Williams:
Instead of reality, instead of recognizing the reality of your country’s terrorist proxy or direct invasions, the mega violence of your bombs and missiles, the people you terrorize and kill, none of that matters to you at all. All you care about is DEMONIZING others, DEMONIZING some leader or another, and jizzing in your pants at the beauty of your megaviolence and your “superiority”.
That’s ALL YOU DO.
You don’t do anything else. This is your reason for being now.
You get your instructions on TV for who to hate. And then you HATE. And you masturbate yourself signaling to others your demonstrations of HATE.
You march around pointing at, screaming, and denouncing others.
First you ranted for 6 years that Trump was Putin’s gay lover puppet. Then you pissed on everyone who voted for Trump. Deplorable trash, you call them. Now you want them rounded up, put into some encampment or something.
Then you wanted to strip anyone who didn’t take the mass injections to be stripped of their livelihood and apartheided. These you called low life moron science-incapable “Trump supporters”. Oh, and you said they don’t care about their families and friends.
Now I don’t know that guy (blacked out), the one who says those who don’t want the injections are “against protecting loved ones and friends”, so I don’t know how far he carries his logic.
Hey, by the way, here’s the CEO of Bayer (pharma):
But I do know many Americans. And a lot of them are well aware of the logical continuation, and explicitly express their desire for it: to see everyone else (the uninjected) die, so they can continue with their compliance undisturbed.
They sit in their Church of TV News, receive their instructions of HATE, and they HATE.
And they want the non-believers eliminated. And they want them easily identified. That’s what the masks are for: Negate your face and HATE the uninjected, or be eliminated (starting with excommunication first).
All of this slotted directly into “Ukraine”.
The entire US/NATO Ukraine project is based on exactly the same modus operandi as these other war campaigns: DEMONIZE THE OTHER, HATE, SEPARATE, KILL.
People in the US and Europe, and Ukraine and Russia who remain in contact with themselves and each other, often state the facts:
We are very worried about the events in Ukraine. In reality, there has never been a difference between Russians and Ukrainians in Russia. My father was born in Zaporozhye, Ukraine. Mom was born in Russia. And we have millions of similar families. A lot of my father's relatives live in Ukraine now. And no one has ever infringed on Ukrainians in Russia in any way. Russian Russians were declared enemies in the "new Ukraine" and even banned the Russian language. All this is not clear to us and is bitter.
I really hope that Sweden does not consider Russians enemies
I'm worried about my nephew's family. They have been living in Stockholm for two years. I would not like them to be offended for their Russian nationality.
My American grandmother was born of Ukrainian parents who left Ukraine (part of Russia) in 1912. I certainly cannot see any sensible reason to erect a new Iron Curtain because NATO’s program of cutting Ukraine off from Russia is now put to an end.
That’s what all of this has been, for the last 30 years, starting with the destruction of Yugoslavia and the 78 day NATO bombing of Belgrade, to the destruction of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria, to the NATO coup d’etat in Ukraine in 2014 and the 8 years of shelling of Russians in Donbas. It is all the same thing: war against Russia, the destruction of everything connected to Russia.
The idea of turning Ukraine into a Russia-hating society and a Russia-hostile military platform for NATO, I mean, that’s literally ripped straight out of Dr. Strangelove, 1964, that’s literally, General Jack D. Ripper stuff, not fictionalized and acted by the great Sterling Hayden. No. Real. We are living the reality of our own actual use of the existential equivalent of Wing Attack Plan R, and Russia’s unavoidable response. Staging of NATO militaries and hardware in Ukraine is a clear and present, immediate existential threat to Russia. It is not the kind of thing that sane people do.
But who ever said fascists are sane? Or sensible? Agreement-capable? Or that they ever learn?
They never learn.
A German friend conspicuously NOT fascist, not neo-liberal, says this:
commentary by somebody on The Duran: "American policy makers have no connection to reality, too young, too inexperienced, they think that food grows in back of a grocery store".
what grows in the back of grocery stores?
probably US politicians and diplomats
EU politicians and diplomats alike
Ursula v. d. Leyen, head of unelected EU leader, she wants to see us march to Moscow.
she screwed up twice in germany as minister, the corruption even reached as far as to her children (just like the Bidens), her remark towards russia some years ago: "we have to face russia from a position of strength"
russian minister of defence answerd: "ask your parents and grandparents what it is like to show strength towards russia"
they will tell you 🖕
👊🏻
russian red line, buffer against attacks from the west, WWII, WWI, Napoleon Blownapart, Prussian-Russian War (1750s), various Polish attacks, medieval German Knights, ...
the red line is what the soviets secured at the end of WWII
BTW, sweden also attacked Russia in the 1700s, they got screwed and shafted twice until the swedish empire was finished.
These dumb fucks want to keep doing it. They’re geniuses. Here I am sitting in the Swedish rump state.
Today the military technical gap is bigger than ever before.
The map IS from the German Wehrmacht, Operation Barbarossa. They really showed the Russians how strong they were 💣
Yeah they really did. So here we go again! Yee-Haw!!!
By Pepe Escobar, posted with the author’s permission and widely cross-posted
The non-government in Kiev is simply not allowed by the Empire to negotiate anything.
By now what we may call a Triple Threat has been established as the catalyst anticipating the launch of Operation Z.
Ukraine developing nuclear weapons. Zelensky himself hinted at it in the Munich Security Conference.
U.S. bioweapons labs in Ukraine. Confirmed, tersely, by none other than the Sinister Cookie Distributor neocon wife in the uber-neocon Kaganate of Nulands, who described them as “biological research facilities”. ”
An imminent attack on Donbass with massive civilian deaths. It could have been in March, according to documents seized by the Russian Ministry of Defense. Or even in late February, according to SVR intelligence, which was monitoring the line of contact on a minute-by-minute basis. This is what eventually prompted Operation Z as a Russian version of R2P (“Responsibility to Protect”).
So after years of CIA-instigated shouts of “conspiracy theory!” and less than zero “fact checkers” activity, it turns out “it was all happening in Ukraine”, as divine messenger Maria Zakharova once again pointed out: “We have found your own products. We have found your biological material.”
The first-class investigative work of Dilyana Gaytandzhieva on Pentagon bioweapons was fully vindicated.
Based on documents received from Ukrainian biolab employees, the Russian ModD revealed that research with samples of bat coronavirus, among other experiments, were conducted in a Pentagon-funded biolab.
The purpose of all this research – which included another Pentagon project to study the transfer of pathogens by wild birds migrating between Ukraine and Russia and other neighboring countries – was “to create a mechanism for the covert spread of deadly pathogens.”
In trademark pysop mode, everything was turned upside down by the United States government: those evil Russkies could take control of biological samples, so any “accident” involving biological and chemical weapons in Ukraine would have to be blamed on Russia.
The White House, in yet another flagrant display of unredeemable stupidity, accused Russia of “false claims” and China of “endorsing this propaganda”.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov came up with the adult perspective: “The whole world will be interested to know what exactly the American bio-laboratories in Ukraine were doing.”
Down on the ground
Meanwhile, defying the fog of war while being targeted by Kiev’s free distribution of weapons without any measure of control, civilians on the path of Operation Z confirmed over and over again that Azov neo-Nazis prevent them from escaping encircled towns and villages. These Banderastan fanatics are the shock troops transforming Ukraine into a large Idlib – according to His Master’s Voice’s plan.
Neo-Nazis are doing exactly what ISIS/Daesh did in Syria: hiding behind civilians taken as hostages. Azov are the white clones of ISIS/Daesh. After all they learned their tactics from the same masters.
They will be bolstered by a fresh contingent of 450 fighters just arrived from – where else – Idlib, including lots of non-Syrians from Europe and the Maghreb. Most though are al-Qaedites and members of the Syrian branch of the Turkestan Islamic Party. Their transit point: the Syria-Turkish border, a smuggling free-for-all.
As it stands, the most detailed macro-view of how strategic Operation Z is developing has been outlined here. The inestimable Andrei Martyanov describes it as a “combined arms police operation”: a delicate crossover between formation-level warfare (“combined arms”) and a police operation to arrest and/or destroy criminals (the full extent of “demilitarization” and “denazification”).
We're all trying to get a clear picture of what is actually happening on the ground in Ukraine, and obviously at least some of us around the world understand that virtually everything reported in the corporate media on Ukraine over the past decade or more is an absolute pack of lies. They actually INVERT the truth routinely, the reality in many cases is completely opposite of what they are telling us.
Have a listen to Scott Ritter's analysis of what is going on there in the interview with Lee Camp (link in comments). Anyone who does not already know who Ritter is, and is not familiar with his history as the UN chemical weapons inspector charged with overseeing the eradication of Iraqi stockpiles of their weapons, and his subsequent challenging of the Big Lies told by the Bush/Cheney and Blair administrations about Iraq continuing to possess WMDs as a pretext for the second US invasion of that country might want to review that history, as well as Ritter's solid challenge to the lies told by the O'Bomber and Trump administrations about the alleged chemical weapons attacks by the Assad government against their own Syrian citizens.
Scott gives us an excellent explanation of Russia's motives, intentions, strategy, and tactics in Ukraine. He also sheds some crucial light on the history of the former Polish provinces that were tacked on to western Ukraine after WW II, the home turf of the hard right wing allies of the Third Reich which spearheaded the slaughter of Ukrainian citizens (many but not all of whom were Jewish) in their service to the German SS during WW II.
These are the origins of the current Ukrainazis that have been funded, trained, and armed by the US and NATO block since the end of WW II (read up on the history of the Ukrainian component of the larger Operation Gladio program, also linked below), and Ritter gives us some good insights on how this tiny percentage of Ukrainians who make up less than 10% of the population there have come to dominate the Ukrainian military and the policies of the Zelensky puppet government.
H/T Helen Black on U€ra!n€:
Message from Natascha Janssen in the Netherlands:
"As many of you may know, my mother was born in the former Sovi£t Union, in Ukrain£, where my extensive family is a mix of Russi@ns and Ukraini@ns. Because of this, I feel called to share my vision on the developments in Ukrain£.
With my Russi@n/Ukraini@n roots, I love both nations very much, centuries-old brotherly nations merging with each other. When you asked my Ukraini@n-born mother if she felt more Russi@n than Ukraini@n, she replied, 'That's a weird question I have no answer to. There is a difference in our language, our music and dance but our hearts are one.'
This is how I was raised and spent 40 years -- the most beautiful holidays of my life -- in love and togetherness, experienced in Russi@ and Ukrain£, in the former Sovi£t Union.
It's good that everyone in the Netherlands is now speaking out against waging a war. No one supports war.
But why was everyone silent when that war started 8 years ago?
Why didn't everyone swear at the slaughter of thousands of citizens in Eastern Ukrain£?
Why didn't everyone swear at Ukrain£ for not following the Minsk agreements?
Where was everyone who looked away when 52 people were burnt alive in Odessa?
Where was everyone who thought it was fine that a 2014 elected government was overthrown and a major European country was taken over by bunch of neo-n@zis?
Where was everyone when the Ukraini@n regime took away from Russi@n Ukraini@ns their basic human rights?
Speaking Russi@n was banned, the right to pensions disappeared for Russi@n Italians, and children who spoke Russi@n and had Russi@n names and were no longer welcome at school.
Where was everyone when torch rallies were organized by neo n@zis spouting slogans like "Russi@ns on the gas"?
And finally, where was everyone who was silent when large parts of this beautiful country, once Europe's grain barn, were sold to banks and investors for an apple and an egg, e.g. exploitation for genetic manipulations of Monsanto and Europe's latest mega bio industry?
My niece in Ukrain£ saw such a factory farm built in front of her house. The incessant screaming of those animals packed so close together, and then those big deafening silences...
Take note: In Ukrain£ there was only one small-scale breed of beef before the country came into the possession of western block.
Ukrain£ has been transformed into a vassal of the West for 8 years. A colony. And all this at the expense of man, animal, nature and environment.
So why only now is the compassion of the people channeled into rage against the war?
The Ukraini@n population has been living in war for 8 years. Hundreds of thousands of Ukraini@ns have already fled to Russi@, including my relatives, like my niece and her family.
Of course I know that most people have no idea about this side of the story because our news service gives a very one-sided picture of the situation. I'm now providing that information from the other side. Do what you will, but silence is no longer an option for me.
I can only hope that peace will come soon for ALL Ukraini@ns, Russi@n and Ukraini@n speakers."
I continue to be flummoxed by the obsession with Putin and Russia, from banning Russian cats, to Russian authors, Russian performers, Russian dressing, et al. Yes, Russian troops out of Ukraine. The solution is very easy but seems to elude us with our projection on "Hitler-like" Putin. How ridiculous. All the US has to do is to agree to Russia's very reasonable demands articulated over at least the last 8 years, to prohibit Ukraine from becoming a part of the war-making "defensive" NATO, that should have been dissolved in 1991 with the fall of the USSR. The US has already armed Ukraine to be a virtual member of NATO, including conventional, biological, and preparations for Nukes.
But Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, and other members of MICIMAC just won't let that happen because NATO is a huge pot of gold for them, and they happen to own the US political system.
Remember the Cuba Missile Crisis in October 1962. The US absolutely was not going to allow Soviet Missiles in Cuba. Imagine if Khrushchev dismissed and ignored those concerns.
I don't remember any calls for sanctions on the US from their destruction of Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Yugoslavia, and any one of a number of US violent interventions in the world. Over 400 military interventions since WWII, and thousands of covert interventions in dozens of countries.
The fact is that the US has orchestrated a cult-like stupor in and obedience to US of A(trocities) Exceptionalism that has made us collectively stupid, unable to critically think about most everything. Want the war to end. Make it clear to Russia that the USA we will not support an armed Ukraine, whether in NATO or not. Why is it so difficult to grasp this simple demand? Oh, I know we are supposed to hate Russia and its system and political leaders. Ever since 1917.
But fool me once,shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Not this time. I see articles questioning Putin's mental stability. Well, I am certain that President Biden and his war-loving Blinkey Sec'of State, are diagnosable as psychotic with delusions of grandeur, and they are leading us into WWIII.
Yes and this comes back to one of the root causes of this conflict, which is NATO’s effort to expand further east, and incorporate Ukraine into the umbrella of NATO membership, and Ukraine’s suicidal insistence that this is what they want, even though they and NATO were confronted over the course of 15 years. This isn’t like Vladimir Putin woke up one night and was like “oh I got a headache, I’m gonna invade Ukraine.”
This is concerted policy from Russia that has been articulated in great detail, since Vladimir Putin addressed the Munich Security Conference in 2007. He laid down the foundation and said further eastward expansion is unacceptable. What did NATO do? They turned around in 2008, in the Bucharest Conference, and they invited Ukraine and Georgia to become members. This prompted a detailed Russian response which was effectively captured by the US Ambassador to Russia at the time, William Burns.
He later became CIA Director. But back then he was the US Ambassador to Russia. He wrote a memorandum called “Nyet means Nyet”. That was in February 2009.
And what he said is, “the Russians have said no. This is a red line.” And then he said, “this is a reasonable red line. We have to respect the Russian’s perspective on this one. Ukraine if it becomes a NATO member, will cause serious problems for Russia, and again, 2009, that Russia will use military force, destroy Ukraine, seize Crimea, seize the Donbas.”
Well good Lord what has happened today. And people are saying it’s because Putin woke up with a migraine? No. This is because NATO and Ukraine conspired together to create the conditions for a war that they knew 14 years ago was inevitable if they continued with this policy.
- Scott Ritter
US power has scope and limits. Russian power has scope and limits. We do not live in a world without limits.
But the US recognizes no limits to its power. All the blame vectors point back in that direction only.
Most Ukrainians do not want to be a platform of US power projection and hostility to Russia.
There is nothing wrong with a neutral Ukraine. Ukrainians want it. Russia wants it. The West (the sane part including leadership at the Pentagon) wants it.
Only the delusional Project for a New American Century (PNAC) fanatics want Ukraine as an American military platform.
