It is only by understanding and taking the Russian nuclear warnings seriously that we may exclude the risk of nuclear weapons coming into play.

The G7 and the subsequent Swiss ‘Bürgenstock Conference’ can – in retrospect – be understood as preparation for a prolonged Ukraine war. The three centrepiece announcements emerging from the G7 – the 10 year Ukraine security pact; the $50 ‘billion Ukraine loan’; and the seizing of interest on Russian frozen funds – make the point. The war is about to escalate.

These stances were intended as preparation of the western public ahead of events. And in case of any doubts, the blistering belligerency towards Russia emerging from the European election leaders was plain enough: They sought to convey a clear impression of Europe preparing for war.

What then lies ahead? According to White House Spokesman John Kirby:

“Washington’s position on Kiev is “absolutely clear”:

“First, they’ve got to win this war”.

“They gotta win the war first. So, number one: We’re doing everything we can to make sure they can do that. Then when the war’s over … Washington will assist in building up Ukraine’s military industrial base”.

If that was not plain, the U.S. intent to prolong and take the war deep into Russia was underlined by National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan: “Authorization for Ukrainian use of American weapons for cross-border attacks extends to anywhere [from which] Russian forces are coming across the border”. He affirmed, too, that Ukraine can use F-16s to attack Russia and use U.S. supplied air defence systems “to take down Russian planes – even if in Russian airspace – if they’re about to fire into Ukrainian airspace”.

Ukrainian pilots have the latitude to judge ‘the intent’ of Russian fighter aircraft? Expect the parameters of this ‘authorisation’ to widen quickly – deeper to air bases from which Russian fighter bombers launch.

Understanding that the war is about to transform radically – and extremely dangerously – President Putin (in his speech to the Foreign Ministry Board) detailed just how the world had arrived at this pivotal juncture – one which could extend to nuclear exchanges.

The gravity of the situation itself demanded the making of one ‘last chance’ offer to the West, which Putin emphatically said was “no temporary ceasefire for Kiev to prepare a new offensive; nor was it about freezing the conflict”; but rather, his proposals were about the war’s final completion.

“If, as before, Kiev and western capitals refuse it – then at the end, that’s their business”, Putin said.

Just to be clear, Putin almost certainly never expected the proposals to be received in the West other than by the scorn and derision with which they, in fact, were met. Nor would Putin trust – for a moment – the West not to renege on an agreement, were some arrangement to be reached on these lines.

If so, why then did President Putin make such a proposal last weekend, if the West cannot be trusted and its reaction was so predictable?

Well, maybe we need to search for the nesting inner Matryoshka doll, rather than fix on the outer casing: Putin’s ‘final completion’ likely will not credibly be achieved through some itinerant peace broker. In his Foreign Ministry address, Putin dismisses devices such as ‘ceasefires’ or ‘freezes’. He is seeking something permanent: An arrangement that has ‘solid legs’; one that has durability.

Such a solution – as Putin before has hinted – requires a new world security architecture to come into being; and were that to happen, then a complete solution for Ukraine would flow as an implicit part to a new world order. That is to say, with the microcosm of a Ukraine solution flowing implicitly from the macrocosm agreement between the U.S. and the ‘Heartland’ powers – settling the borders to their respective security interests.

This clearly is impossible now, with the U.S. in its psychological mindset stuck in the Cold War era of the 1970s and 1980s. The end to that war – the seeming U.S. victory – set the foundation to the 1992 Wolfowitz Doctrine which underscored American supremacy at all costs in a post-Soviet world, together with “stamping out rivals, wherever they may emerge”.

“In conjunction with this, the Wolfowitz Doctrine stipulated that the U.S. would … [inaugurate] a U.S.-led system of collective security and the creation of a democratic zone of peace”. Russia, on the other hand, was dealt with differently—the country fell off the radar. It became insignificant as a geopolitical competitor in the eyes of the West, as its gestures of peaceful offerings were rebuffed – and guarantees given to it regarding NATO’s expansion forfeited”.

“Moscow could do nothing to prevent such an endeavour. The successor state of the mighty Soviet Union was not its equal, and thus not considered important enough to be involved in global decision-making. Yet, despite its reduced size and sphere of influence, Russia has persisted in being considered a key player in international affairs”.

Russia today is a preeminent global actor in both the economic and political spheres. Yet for the Ruling Strata in the U.S., equal status between Moscow and Washington is out of the question. The Cold War mentality still infuses the Beltway with the unwarranted confidence that the Ukraine conflict might somehow result in Russian collapse and dismemberment.

Putin in his address, by contrast, looked ahead to the collapse of the Euro-Atlantic security system – and of a new architecture emerging. “The world will never be the same again”, Putin said.

Implicitly, he hints that such a radical shift would be the only way credibly to end the Ukraine war. An agreement emerging from the wider framework of consensus on the division of interests between the Rimland and the Heartland (in Mackinder-esque language) would reflect the security interests of each party – and not be achieved at the expense of others’ security.

And to be clear: If this analysis is correct, Russia may not be in such a hurry to conclude matters in Ukraine. The prospect of such a ‘global’ negotiation between Russia-China and the U.S. is still far off.

The point here is that the collective western psyche has not been transformed sufficiently. Treating Moscow with equal esteem remains out of the question for Washington.

The new American narrative is no negotiations with Moscow now, but maybe it will become possible sometime early in the new year – after the U.S. elections.

ORDER IT NOW

Well, Putin might surprise again – by not jumping at the prospect, but rebuffing it; assessing that the Americans still are not ready for negotiations for a ‘complete end’ to the war – especially as this latest narrative runs concurrently with talk of a new Ukraine offensive shaping up for 2025. Of course, much is likely to change over the coming year.

The documents outlining a putative new security order however, were already drafted by Russia in 2021 – and duly ignored in the West. Russia perhaps can afford to wait out military events in Ukraine, in Israel, and in the financial sphere.

They are all, in any event, trending Putin’s way. They are all inter-connected and have the potential for wide metamorphosis.

Put plainly: Putin is waiting on the shaping of the American Zeitgeist. He seemed very confident both at St Petersburg and last week at the Foreign Ministry.

The backdrop to the G7’s Ukraine preoccupation seemed to be more U.S. elections-related, than real: This implies that the priority in Italy was election optics, rather than a desire to start a full-blown hot war. But this may be wrong.

Russian speakers during these recent gatherings – notably Sergei Lavrov – hinted broadly that the order already had come down for war with Russia. Europe seems, however improbably, to be gearing up for war – with much chatter about military conscription.

Will it all blow away with the passing of a hot summer of elections? Maybe.

The coming phase seems likely to entail western escalation, with provocations occurring inside Russia. The latter will react strongly to any crossing of (real) red lines by NATO, or any false flag provocation (now widely expected by Russiam military bloggers).

And herein lies the greatest danger: In the context of escalation, American disdain for Russia poses the greatest danger. The West now says it treats notions of putative nuclear exchange as Putin’s ‘bluff’. The Financial Times tells us that Russia’s nuclear warnings are ‘wearing thin’ in the West.

If this is true, western officials utterly misconceive the reality. It is only by understanding and taking the Russian nuclear warnings seriously that we may exclude the risk of nuclear weapons coming into play, as we move up the escalatory ladder with tit-for-tat measures.

Even though they say they believe them to be bluff, U.S. figures nonetheless hype the risk of a nuclear exchange. If they think it to be a bluff, it appears to be based on the presumption that Russia has few other options.

This would be wrong: There are several escalatory steps that Russia can take up the ladder, before reaching the tactical nuclear weapon stage: Trade and financial counter-attack; symmetrical provision of advanced weaponry to western adversaries (corresponding to U.S. supplies to Ukraine); cutting the electricity branch distribution coming from Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania; strikes on border munition crossings; and taking a leaf from the Houthis who have knocked down several sophisticated and costly U.S. drones, disabling America’s intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) infrastructure.

    Yesterday’s US-Ukrainian attack on Sevastopol, which killed several people and wounded around 150, may well be the trigger for a significant escalation that involves direct attacks on American forces. A no-fly zone covering the northern Black Sea and the destruction of American reconnaissance drones in that zone would be the minimum Russian response.

    Crooke took this out of context. In fact, in its context what Kirby was saying is that Ukraine will never join NATO (because Ukraine will never win this war) and preemptively lists excuses why that is so.

    Does this show great resolve by the White House?

    Q Secretary General Stoltenberg was talking about once the current fighting in Ukraine ends, that the ultimate security guarantee to prevent it from happening again — that Russia invades again — is Article 5 from NATO. He seemed to be very clear that Ukraine should be admitted into NATO after the current fighting ends.

    Is that a — is — can you speak to that? Is that a commitment that the U.S. shares, feels — that once this cur- — once this current fighting ends, that — feels strongly that Ukraine can get into NATO?

    MR. KIRBY: The President has said that he believes that NATO is in Ukraine’s future. And there’s — there’s a lot of things that have to be done before they can join the Alliance, like any member has to do before they can join the Alliance. But the President believes firmly that NATO is in Ukraine’s future at some point.

    Q But those — those conditions that have been — have been, you know, ki- — it’s somewhat a little bit vague. It’s been a very di- — it has not been a very clear pathway when would they be able to do the actio- —

    MR. KIRBY: I disagree.

    […]

    MR. KIRBY: It’s not — it’s absolutely clear. And they — and — and the Alliance —

    Q What are the specific conditions that Ukraine needs to meet?

    MR. KIRBY: The Alliance has talked about and the United States has certainly talked about, first, they got to win this war. All right? They got to win the war first. And so, number one, we’re doing everything we can to make sure they can do that.

    Then when the war is over, no matter what it looks like, they’re still going to have a long border with Russia and a legitimate security threat to the Ukrainian people. That’s why the President at the — at the G7 signed our bilateral security agreement joining — what? — some other — 14, 15 other countries that have done the same thing to make sure that, for the long haul, Ukraine’s defense industrial base can continue to make sure that they have what they need to defend themselves, and that includes assistance from the United States. That’s the long haul.

    That will help — that will help them defend themselves while they work on the necessary things they have to do, like any member of the Alliance has to work on — for instance, on corruption — before they can apply for NATO membership.

    But we do believe that NATO is in Ukraine’s future, and we’re going to work with them every step of the way to get them there.

    Q Is corruption still a major concern for —

    MR. KIRBY: Corruption is a concern. But there’s — there’s certainly other things that need to be done for any — any nation that wants to join the Alliance.

    And I want to reiterate that joining the Alliance is an Alliance decision; it’s not something the United States can just make happen magically. It has to be done through the existing Allies as well.

    Does this sound reassuring to anyone? To me this reads like they’re just trying to survive until November so that they can finally drop this dead-weight project once Trump is reinstalled.

    It’s Britain that has sneered at Russia’s warnings since day one. Biden actually remarked in 2022 that he took the threats very seriously. It was called his “Armageddon” speech and the Brits laughed it off as the ravings of a doddering old man. The French and Finns became hysterical and basically told Biden to stay on message, which is that Russia is a bad boy and has to withdraw.

    The Brits tried to spin Biden’s message as “if Russia did use nukes it’s because it’s flailing and losing on the battlefield” rather than because NATO is firing missiles into its country, which is typical British disinformation.

    More recently, Britain put unrelenting pressure on Biden to provide long-range ATACMs to Zelensky. That was why Cameron made multiple trips to America earlier this year and last year. Yesterday we saw some of the results. But Britain says its hands are clean because it’s an American missile.

    Crooke will never level with his readers on just how evil and provocative the British government is.

    P.S. Putin/Kremlin bragged recently about 8,000 mosques built in Russia! Invasion of Russia by migrants from Muslim countries is in a full swing. It seems even worse than EU! Of course, all organized by Putin/Kremlin. For example, some towns/villages in Russia get a mosque built although there are no Muslims living there, and then huge number of Muslims start coming. They immediately start harassing local Russian populace, especially women/girls. Percentage of migrant attacks have gone through the roof and Kremlin is actively hiding that!

  11. A Trump presidency can be a wonderful opportunity to dump a lot of problems on the outgoing Biden administration, just saying, again. Westerners are shallow enough to claim that the shit they stirred up yesterday doesn’t count anymore, because new management!

    I think the US establishment is caught halfway between throwing Biden under the bus and their horror at the thought of a Trump presidency, so they will likely continue stoking the fires of war to try and save Biden’s image in front of voters for now. I doubt that the West will jump into a Ukraine war, unless they can trick some NATO members like Poland to go in without dragging NATO all in.

    I’m still betting that Russia will win a conventional war against Ukraine and indirectly NATO. People screeching about the NATO beach massacre also threw fits about preceding provocations, but the Putin government kept calm and focused on dismantling the Ukrainian military, which is probably the most realistic way of taking on the West for now, along with arming Russian proxies and projects like BRICS. The West’s bluff will be called, and Russia can call for justice from a position of power later.

    I think a lot of Western commentators who call for Russia to attack the West, or accuse it of being weak underestimate the people of the Russian Federation’s resolve. Terrorist attacks galvanize the public support of war, they rarely demoralize as they are intended to do. I remember being a child in South Africa during the ANC and PAC’s terrorist bombing campaigns of restaurants and shopping centers, no-one talked about giving up out of fear, and they understood that security forces were doing their best. It’s fair to believe that the Russian public will stand by Putin.

    The West is making a mistake by believing that Russians will be terrorized into giving up, I’m making another bet.

  21. “If so, why then did President Putin make such a proposal last weekend, if the West cannot be trusted and its reaction was so predictable?

    I commented on this last week, maybe here, not sure but the reason for VVP’s proposal is there for all to see if you read it objectively.

    He explicitly mentions that Zaporozhye and Kherson cities must be included in the negotiations. Currently both of these oblasts are under Russian control but not the cities themselves. I live in Zaporozhye and have been thinking about our future since when at the beginning of the SMO, Zaporozhye oblast was taken quickly and obviously because of the ZNPP but the city was not touched. Even now, more than two years later, the only missiles that have come our way have been to the Shevchenkovsky industrial area, the hydro-electric scheme on the Dnipro and I think the airport.

    The proposal was clearly a message to us that we have not been forgotten and will be incorporated back into the RF and that is a relief now that we know. I would think the same could be said for Kherson.

    Also, Odessa was not mentioned and neither was Mykolaev. Both of those oblasts are Russian so I have no doubt that they are also in the picture.I think any reasonable person would agree that Odessa in particular is of huge importance to Russia and will be returned. You can add Transnistria into the mix as well.

    So it is plain to see that the proposal was a message to ethnic Russians in Ukraine and was never meant to be accepted. What it does do is give Russia greater licence to do whatever is required now that the west has openly rejected the proposal.

  28. There are several escalatory steps that Russia can take up the ladder, before reaching the tactical nuclear weapon stage: Trade and financial counter-attack; symmetrical provision of advanced weaponry to western adversaries (corresponding to U.S. supplies to Ukraine); cutting the electricity branch distribution coming from Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania; strikes on border munition crossings; and taking a leaf from the Houthis who have knocked down several sophisticated and costly U.S. drones, disabling America’s intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) infrastructure.

    Why hasn’t Putin already taken one of these steps with all the provocations?

    Is he afraid of escalation by the West, or is he waiting for the opportune moment, like a major strike on Russian facilities as a trigger?

    What does Russia lose in sinking US aircraft carriers? Most of its own ships have been blown up by the Ukrainians in the Black Sea. Its other ships are not doing much of any value. The only Russian targets of value are its submarines, and Russia has those super cavitating torpedoes to take care of US submarines.

    There are other naval assets in the Red Sea. All Russia has to do is provide lots of advanced missiles to Houthis to sink a few British and US ships, and then warn them that aircraft carriers are next.

    Maybe is waiting to see if Trump comes to power to strike a deal and then escalate.

    Or maybe he is working for the other side.

    I do not foresee Russia retaliates against the U.S.-West, despite Russia’s empty rhetoric. Russia continues to supply its enemies with oil, gas and other commodities that are very essential for keeping the Ukraine war going. Russia looks like a punching bag. For example, recently, the U.S.-Ukraine attacked Crimea with ATACMS missiles, only for Russia to repeat the same empty rhetoric for domestic consumption. This week, the EU confiscated Russian assets and transfer it to Ukraine (EU to send €1.4bn in Russian money to Ukraine, RT), only for Russia to repeat the same empty rhetoric. In the same week, the EU imposed more sanctions (14th package) against Russia. The sanctions are so targeted that Russia continues to supply the EU LNG (Deliveries of LNG for use within the bloc remain unaffected RT), only for Russia to repeat the same rhetoric. How long it will take for Russia to star defending Russians and Russia’s interests is anyone’s guess?

    Hopefully the Russians will continue responding with measured responses, and not fall into the provocation trap.

    The Zionist gangster empire is flailing, trying to provoke an excuse to launch a gigantic conflagration. Its terrorist attacks against the Russians and the Palestinians are failing. So it’s in frothing mad dog mode.

    Putin’s Muslim migrants to re-shape Russia’s zeitgeist
    I.e., Putin’s war against the Russians!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Putin/Kremlin-organized invasion of Russia by Muslim migrants has been in full swing for quite some time [1]! Will soon include Muslim migrants from Afghanistan too [2]! Reshaping population structure of Russia aka NWO population replacement agenda! He’s still complying with most NWO/WEF plans!

    No wonder, considering that Putin was recruited, trained, and deployed in Russia by Primakov, Kissinger, and Schwab.

    As it seems, even recent terrorist attacks in Dagestan will not change any policies!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Machine translated excerpts from [1]:

    The increase in crime among migrants is shocking. “In the four months of 2024, migrants committed 14,070 crimes. More than 3000 crimes in the field of drug trafficking. The number of rapes increased by 40%, the number of serious acts by 13%. The number of crimes committed by persons illegally staying in Russia has more than tripled. Underage migrants committed crimes by 70% more than in the same period last year. Although, the crime statistics of 2023 compared to 2022 were also terrifying. Migrant lawlessness is growing exponentially.

    – In Primorye, a gang was detained that helps migrants obtain a residence permit through the adoption of children. Migrants who adopted Russian children literally tortured orphans. Medieval methods were used, such as: standing on peas, licking fallen food from the floor, hanging upside down. This case was not an isolated one.

    – In Moscow, another stowaway tried to pass through the turnstile, snuggling up to a girl. The latter did not like it, she tried to push him away, to which the “irreplaceable specialist” inflicted multiple blows on the girl’s head.

    – In Rostov-on-Don, a gang from Tajikistan kidnapped a person, took him to the forest and tortured him for ransom… It turned out that the gang members were two illegal immigrants, as well as two migrants with a Russian passport (all about 30-35 years old).

    – In Novorossiysk, a taxi driver, an “indispensable specialist”, dropped a girl out of a taxi for watching the edit (short video) of the Russian Army on her phone.

    – In Orenburg, an “irreplaceable specialist” brought a local teenager to his knees, forced him to apologize for something, threatening him with a gun. Everything that happened was filmed by the Abu bandits on video and distributed on the Internet. In other videos, members of this ethnic gang demonstrate AUE symbols banned in Russia, weapons, and beat other teenagers.

    – In Bashkiria, a resident of Uzbekistan, suspected of raping a ninth-grader, was detained. A migrant met a schoolgirl with a mental disability on a social network, invited the girl for a walk, and then went to his home. The girl’s mother found out about the incident when it turned out that the girl was pregnant. The migrant planned to leave Russia, he was detained at the airport.

    – In Orekhovo-Zuyevo, a visiting ped*phil lured a ten-year-old girl into his trailer and abused her.

    – In Saratov, the drama was played out by the classic new “cell of society” – she is in a hijab, he has a beard. Their 6-year-old offspring ran away from his parents, but under their supervision began to bother Russian schoolgirls: he spat at them and threw insults. A 12-year-old Russian girl pushed him away from her. A mother in a hijab was so upset that her son was rebuffed that she attacked his “offender” with her fists. In the end, the bearded dad also joined in, who knocked the girl to the ground and began to beat her in the face with the words “I will cut your throat.” The beaten girl was hospitalized…

    Machine translated excerpt from [2]:

    Everyone knows very well about the invasion of Tajiks, other Central Asians, Azerbaijanis, about what they are doing in Russian cities and villages. But along with the accelerating terrifying influx of Basurmans from Central Asia and Transcaucasia to Russia, a more exotic flow has recently been launched – from Africa.

    Here is a fresh message – migrants from Afghanistan will begin to be imported to Russia. Russia has pledged to accept labor migrants from Afghanistan and provide them with work in certain regions of the country, said the Minister of Labor and Social Relations of the Islamic Republic Abdul Manan Omari, who is a senior leader of the Taliban movement. According to a representative of the Taliban (an organization banned in Russia), he agreed on this with the head of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation Anton Kotyakov and other Russian officials at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). Omari clarified that the conditions for the employment of Afghans will be created by the Russian authorities in regions with the status of republics. So far, we are talking about Chechnya and Tatarstan.

    The fact that our officials agreed on this with the Taliban movement does not fit into any framework at all. The fact is that the Taliban has been recognized as a terrorist organization by the Supreme Court of Russia.

The self-delusion that we know the outcome of history is the most dangerous aspect of this.

Those leading the world towards nuclear Armageddon do not see our fate, only see what they want to see. Paradoxically, the only chance of avoiding that fate is to accept it.

    I don’t think Russia will retaliate directly against US or NATO forces outside the Ukraine. Also it will not use the kind of Islamic terrorist attacks that the West uses against it. Putin said that Russia should be one step ahead but that does not include the vile terrorism US and NATO employ. I guess they’ll just drops loads of FAB 3,000s on Ukrainian troops enormously raising the casualty rates. So while Ukraine and its backers may continue with these attacks their armies will be destroyed on the front lines.

  48. Putin’s “War” to re-shape the American Zeitgeist

    The problem with the title of this article is that an “American Zeitgeist” doesn’t exist: it is a “Judaic Zeitgeist”. The Jews have shoved their ancient hatred of everything Russian down the throat of the US foreign policy establishment and suffused it with its own grotesque spirit. What is this Jewish spirit like? It is dominated with a deep-seated hatred of all goys, but especially White goys, especially Russian goys. It is dominated by the unbridled desire to subjugate the goy world and to destroy it, by any means possible.

    And what better way to destroy the goy world than to provoke a nuclear war? By doing this, they kill two birds with one stone: the Jews always pile evil on top of evil. Not only do the Jews continue doing what they do best — tricking white goys into killing each other — but they also push toward their ultimate goal: setting off the “end times” and hastening the arrival of their “Messiah”. That’s what they’re really after. So it’s no use for you to warn the US to take “Russian nuclear warnings seriously” in order to “exclude the risk of nuclear weapons coming into play”: what the Jews want IS nuclear war.

    The “G7” is just a bunch of puppets controlled by the Jews and they follow their master’s orders: if the Jews command “go to war”, these “leaders” will drag their whole population into a bloody conflict — and elections be damned. The Jews will put whomsoever they want into these “leadership” roles, and each and every one of these politicians are compromised and beholden to the Jews. So the Swiss “peace conference” is just newspeak: “peace” means “war”. So you’re damn right that “The war is about to escalate”: the Jews want war and they will get war.

    The way to prepare the “western public” for war is the Jew mind-control machine: the media. The Jews will put their puppets in front of the camera and command them to bark at Russia. And like the faithful attack dogs of the Jews they are, these politicians will all comply: “blistering belligerency towards Russia” is the only thing that will guarantee their political survival, even if it risks the physical survival of their whole constituency.

    The Jews are relentless: they will provoke Russia until they get the war they want and bulldoze even the minimal “security guarantees” which Russia is demanding. What was Russia’s main request? That the Ukraine not join NATO. So you can bet on the Jews doing exactly that: for all intents and purposes, the Ukrainians have already joined NATO. Here is a statement by one of the Jew puppets at the (Jew-) “State” Department, issued just yesterday:

    Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs James O’Brien briefs journalists on the upcoming NATO Summit in July…. Key topics include deeper integration of Ukraine with NATO, support for Ukraine against Russia’s aggression, and highlighting the importance of unity and collective strength in addressing global challenges.

    https://www.state.gov/briefings-foreign-press-centers/fpc-nato-series/nato-summit-preview

    Talk about chutzpah! The Jews will spit in your face and make you pay for the spittle: the main topic at this Summit is Ukraine “integration” into NATO. Does that sound like the “Zeitgeist” is about to change any time soon? No, Mr. Crooke, the Jewish spirit is sick by its very nature: it is a cancer that has metastasize throughout the US and all of the “West”. The only way for the “American Zeitgeist” to change is to remove all Jews from all levels of power, lest they continue on their inexorable march towards their ultimate goal: complete domination and then destruction of all the goys in the world.

  49. One half of the Ukraine, east of the river, to Russia and the western half to Poland. Orthodox to Russia and Roman Catholics to Poland. And of course, the Jews retain the right to watch over the graves of some of their greatest and highly revered rabbis in both parts. Problem solved!

    Yesterday’s US-Ukrainian attack on Sevastopol, which killed several people and wounded around 150, may well be the trigger for a significant escalation that involves direct attacks on American forces.

    I read about this war each day and wonder why Russia allows Zelensky, the unelected dickhead to live. If your country was being attacked, your people killed, your oil depots droned, your bridges blown, what would you do? I know what I would do, Job 1 would be to obliterate Kiev and kill Zelensky and his general staff – decapitate the heads of state, and take out the capitol. Can you imagine if Cuba was doing the same to the USA what would happen as a response?

    But Putin does not give that order, so Zelensky is free to continue his war, continue to order the white Christian boys to their deaths, continue to beg for western monies and weapons. The fight goes on because Putin refuses to deliver a knock out punch. It is a question of psychology, how to stand up to the western bully and make it clear they will suffer if they continue. What Putin needs to do is take decisive action to put the west in it’s place, like this war veteran being antagonized by a punk, watch to the end, how the punk’s friend closes the gate in respect.

    https://www.military.com/video/specialties-and-personnel/martial-arts/never-bully-a-war-veteran/1197892601001

    So what am I to conclude but that Putin is in on it with the west, what we are watching is theater. WW3 is a big production, and the elite own all the players, and as usual we are being played by the masters of illusion.

  55. The Financial Times tells us that Russia’s nuclear warnings are ‘wearing thin’ in the West.

    Which begs the question, what are Western leaders going to do about it? Given that NATO and Russian forces are roughly equal, they certainly can’t be crazy enough to reprise Barbarossa, right?

    Actually, it might be funny to watch 32 30 (or fewer) countries with barely interoperable equipment and comms, disparate languages, and no real combat experience go against a near-peer military with unified systems, common language, and more than two years of brutal combat experience.

    I guess the WEF has made NATO its bitch, since it seems that a nuclear first strike and concomitant mass death is their only practical agenda.

  56. @Anonnynonny

    Make no mistake. The US/isreal intend to kill children for the terror effect.

  57. The West now says it treats notions of putative nuclear exchange as Putin’s ‘bluff’. The Financial Times tells us that Russia’s nuclear warnings are ‘wearing thin’ in the West.

    If this is true, western officials utterly misconceive the reality.

    Of course it does because “western officials” only have two choices in the matter: they can try to put a fig leaf over their Satanic self-destructive evil by saying that Vladimir Putin is only “bluffing” (a soothing lie of the type that their low-level order followers need to hear) or they can let their actions speak for themselves; actions which can only be reasonably construed as an attempt to do global murder-suicide by way of a world-as-we-know-it-ending-nuclear-war.

Total supposition based on nothing but “because it’s my team, they are always in the right”. (I would say lying, but, “it’s not actually lying if you believe it”…..GC)

    I find the idea that the ruling jews in the West are so stupid and ignorant that they still haven’t realised their plans to weaken/destroy Russia are backfiring very puzzling.

    Those ruling jews are very clever and mostly realistic people – they don’t control large portions of the capital in the West for nothing – and yet somehow they haven’t spotted what is obvious for more than 2 years regarding Russia?

    I think the jewish oligarchs knew what they were doing way before it kicked off in Ukraine in Feb 2024 – their intention was, and is, to weaken and destroy THE WEST AND WHITE PEOPLE, and unfortunately they’re doing very well in that, especially as nearly all non-mainstream commentators seem to genuinely believe in the jewish/zionist oligarchs’ mainstream propaganda about all of it being to somehow attack “Ruzzia”. Why do you believe that some of the mainstream propaganda narratives are true when they’re all lies?

    E.g., the jewish-oligarch-controlled EU is now on its 14th Russian “sanctions” package. Really, they are boycott packages – the EU/West is shooting itself in the foot by refusing to buy cheap Russian energy, and by forcing the world to unite against the EU/West – how is it not obvious by now, more than two years on from the first package, that these boycott/sanctions packages are intended by the oligarchs to have the effect they are having?

    Those ruling jews are very clever and mostly realistic people – they don’t control large portions of the capital in the West for nothing – and yet somehow they haven’t spotted what is obvious for more than 2 years regarding Russia?

    You have to remember that the hard-core, messianic Judeofascists a) are insane; and b) believe their own nonsense. The Anglo-Zionist Cousinhood is insane to, but primarily interested in money and power. But the Judeofascists like Netanyahu say to them: What good is your money and power if you have no vision? Is it going to make you immortal? No? The Judeofascist tribe will make you immortal. We’ll be writing the history books forever! We’ll be ruling the world forever! And the jew oligarchs and their lickspittle (Hebroids, Angloids and otherwise) have no answer. And what could they answer? “Christ”? They’d sooner die.

    But they’re frantic. And they’ll always be frantic. And while they may effect to be cool customers (think Angloid James Bond) they’re frantic as hell by nature. In fact, most of the human race is frantic, which us why they can so easily stampede it in this direction or that.

    But Putin is playing it cool, and Xi is playing it cool, partly because they are weaker, but partly because when you’re the challenger and not the champ, you can bide your time until the champ loses a step.

    The Judeofscists have lost more than a step, and have gotten downright sloppy — again, because they’re insane, deluded, and messianic. And their stooges are but dumb rubes who are totally lost without their confidence man guru, who has done all the heavy “thinking” (grifting) for them for so long.

    The mistakes are going to just keep coming, particularly as their golden calf Ponzi continues to unwind. They’re going to get ever more frantic. They may resort to nukes. (But so might Putin and Xi.) So they’re between a rock and a hard place.

    What is the insane cult going to do? No one can say. Hopefully they’ll just wither away but they may do a mass suicide rather than face up to what they really are: demoniacs.

    Its true that many elite jews have had and are getting increasing power, but its funny to read these comments, where american and british are denying having any major power at all, even everybody who knows even a big about geopolitics knows that we have dealt mostly with american/british HEGEMONY for last hundreds of years now. Jews were only a junior partner in this mafia especially until 60’s and 70’s, when american and british totally dominated schools, culture etc. (and what fucking sickness was that…). Until then american and british did everything so that jews didnt get any power and they even blacklisted jewish names in universities, because american and british wanted to keep all power to themselves! Even now american and british elites have huge power and its not just jews running the show, but still very largely american and british as well. Its also not just jews that make american and british do ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING that they do.

    American and british are really such pathetic and bad loosers that first thing they do is that they throw their very old and closest ally, the jews under the bus and now they are accusing them about absolutely everything also american and british have solely and alone done. One of the most pathetic features about american and british, or some them are, that an american and a british doesnt have a soul, a country, empathy, sense of guilt, shame and regret. American and british are really not human specie, but primitive animals.

Putin’s assertion that the NATO world will never be the same is accurate!! The solidarity of the EU against Russia is in turn a ruse.

Putin as is his strategic bent has the high ground from a number of perspectives and they all serve his legendary patience as multipolar axis rises.

    https://theliberum.com/amid-kremlins-impotence-ukraine-increases-missile-attacks-on-russia/

    Excerpt: … European Union approved up to €1.4B military aid to Ukraine from Russian frozen assets, which means that it is Moscow that will indirectly fund its destruction.

    Excerpt: Western leaders are quite aware that, as long as Putin is in power in Russia, Moscow cannot achieve its goals in Ukraine. His policy of half-measures and minimal and calculated military operations cannot lead to Russia’s decisive victory. That is why the West will almost certainly not allow Ukraine to cross certain red lines and take steps that could destabilize Vladimir Putin.

    Excerpt: But striking Russian military airports, bases, radars, military-industrial complex, oil refineries, and possibly power plants will be part of preparations for the Ukrainian offensive that will come either later this year or in the first half of 2025. Meanwhile, Ukraine will continue conducting a widely unpopular mobilization, which is something the Kremlin refuses to do.

    I think Assange pissed off the American left by showing Hilary Clinton in an unfavourable light even though it was truthful, and also pissed off the American right by showing US servicemen killing for fun a la a video game (the video of those killings reminded me of the scene in Schindler’s List where the Nazi commandant in the Concentration camp casually shoots inmates randomly to pass the time)
    Maybe the US needs to keep Australia onside more than I previously thought. China is certainly a lot more important economically to Australia and then the US military often uses Australian territory for training and exercises. Not too much uncrowded real estate on this overcrowded planet.

    While I’m no fan of Country 404 or the US war against Russia being cynically waged by pretending that a 100% US kill-chain, is “Ukraine launching ATACMS” – it’s nothing of the sort, since no hohol can be involved in any step because the tech requires that US operators operate this stuff.

    Everyone who’s not a CNN watcher also knows with certainty that the US Death Machine has no qualms about targeting civilians, including women and kids.

    BUT in circumstances like this, it’s important to acknowledge that when a salvo of US-owned, US-targeted, US-guided, US-controlled ATACMS is “incoming” and the various countermeasures happen… well, a lot of bad shit that is not part of the intended consequences.

    That seems to be what has happened here: it’s tragic; it’s a moral wrong committed my the cowardly US; innocent people were killed and injured.

    But what has probably happened is that an ATACMS was hit by Russian AD, and as a result it deployed its cluster munitions in s horrible area that caused civilian damage.

    I VERY seldom find myself “excusing” the Empire of Lies for any of its egregious bullshit, and in a sense I wouldn’t exculpate them here – but it’s a bit like when some clapped-out S300 is used for AD in Keeeeeev and it goes sideways and hits a school.

    If European civilisation had flourished and inspired the rest of the world, without exploiting them, then they would have no cause for complaint.

    The problem is that the exploitation happened not only in the past, but continues till this day.

    If White Americans really want the rest of the world to sympathise with them against their Jewish overlords/parasites, then they must actively end the exploitation of the world. Otherwise the rest of the world don’t really distinguish between the West and the Jews that rule them…

    That’s not true for logic and reason which is the basis of modern technology. It was adopted and spread across Europe by the Romans.

    Logic and reason come from the Greeks and was not the result of some global symposium.

    The Chinese in fact resisted Western medicine for over 1000 years. They didn’t want to believe that their traditions could be wrong. Global adoption of the scientific method lagged the West.

    Of course that is politically incorrect and too harsh for some to face.

    Russians are the last truly white Christian country left mate. The US is mulatto land mired in BBD porn and trannies. None of that shit flies in mother Russia.

    Can’t do that. We don’t remember how. Our people were civilised long before your barbarian ancestors copied the ways of the Greeks/Romans.

    You may keep your phone, of course, and
    your computer and red high heels.

    Thank you for giving us permission, but we don’t your permission to do so anymore.

    Since these days, phones and computers are made in China. So are my EV cars and high speed trains.

    About the only thing USA is still in the forefront of, and has a monopoly in, is the red high heel wearing and the Woke insanity…..please keep it, we don’t want any of it.

    Ukraine is more Slavic and more Christian.

    Russia has Europe’s largest Muslim, Atheist and Ashkenazi populations.

    Would you like a source on that?

    Stop watching Tucker and read some actual data……mate.

    Not everyone around here has a sense of humor, so yours is appreciated.
    Some of the comments reveal a hypersensitive temperament among
    those who heap vituperation on others, but go ballistic when they receive
    the mildest jab. It may be that they take themselves too seriously

    I wish we had a leader as wise as PM Loong, but the time we did was in
    the distant past as you surely have noticed. American politicians are
    unspeakably whoriffic and represent anyone but us.

    Odie, as today’s anthropology lesson please note that the indigenous
    human inhabitants of Europe were the Neanderthals, and their
    successors were the Cro- Magnons. A Croatian friend confidentially
    revealed to me that his Serbian neighbors definitely had Neanderthal
    anatomical and cognitive characteristics. Can you clarify this?

    You are right. We take ourselves too seriously most of the time.

    Sweethome, ‘Croatian friend’ is an oxymoron. Just as Bosnians are Muslim converts, so Croats are Vatican converts with Serbian genetics and language but without their own history, culture and most importantly – without any shame.

    ‘Only’ finance??!! Groveling won’t save you.

    In my Wife’s hometown a Serb-Croat marriage meant that neither family
    would speak to the couple and their baby would be known as “Mutt.”
    Thankfully, time has mellowed everyone as their European memories
    have faded, but they still squabble about which church to attend.

    The English, Germans and Finns were forced, out of necessity,
    to consolidate into one Protestant Church they
    refer to as Methodist-Lutheran.

  148. The first order of business is for Russia to shoot down any and all US spy drones that venture out over the Black Sea or over Ukraine. The Americans and Brits think Russia is weak and anything goes for them because Putin has tolerated these US drones for so long. This means taking down the drones with surface-to-air missiles. And if the US/NATO send fighter escorts to protect the drones or if they send manned spy planes, these should both be shot down, too.

    Sweethome, you have not reported a conflict of interest. I think you went a bit overboard though. There are a lot of mixed marriages in both Serbia and Croatia, since it’s the same genetics, the same language, only the Vatican took away the brains of the Croatian converts and programmed them to hate Orthodoxy.

    For example, Novak Djokovic’s mother is Croatian. What you are talking about is possible if the origin of the parents of your Wife (capital W?, interesting!) is from some rural area in Bosnia where the Croats committed a horrible genocide against the Serbs, so the irreconcilability of the families can be explained that way. If you tell me which region it is, I can give you more details from WW2 as well as from the war in the 90s.

    Odie, I have no conflict of interest to report other than my addiction to
    jaundiced humor. Although my wife is from northern Minnesota and I
    am from southern Alabama we both have mainly English, German and
    Huguenot ancestry, but I also have Native American origins and a small
    amount of Swede-Finn from colonial New Jersey.

    My wife does have Serbian in-laws so she is very familiar with the
    Serbian-Croatian back-and-forth, pointed humor exchange.

    “ Odyssey” is NOT a real Serbian. anyway! He is just an orthodox Gypsy from Bosnia or Croatia!

    What is this Jewish spirit like? It is dominated with a deep-seated hatred of all goys, but especially White goys, especially Russian goys.

    Do you have an explanation why? I never quite understood the origin of their hatred for the whites.
