Society 282 in action!
But actually, it’s not just a “society” (as in “social pressure”, no matter how artificial) by now. No flight lists are compiled by the federal government. All that because Fuentes turned out to a (legal) protest for Orange Man.
You have Ricky Vaughn railroaded for literally posting memes on Twitter in 2016.
And now, thanks to the last bastion of free journalism in the form of tabloids like The Daily Mail, we now learn that the Feds had no intention of letting Derek Chauvin walk free even in the event that the jury voted him innocent of murder for failing to correctly diagnose a fentanyl overdose when arresting a violent repeat criminal.
Overall, it’s hard to dispute Fuentes’ own assessment of the situation:

PS. I warned you against buying Coinbase for purely technical reasons – if you want exposure to cryptos, get the real thing, as opposed to an overvalued cex that augments crypto exposure and with a vastly inferior instrument to boot that gives none of the actual benefits of crypto. (Correctly, as it turns out, as it was promptly dumped upon by its own execs). That Fuentes was kicked from Coinbase further reinforces this point: “Not your keys, not your coins.” Nobody can take your Metamask wallet from you for being an anti-USG dissident. Don’t use wallets that you don’t control for dissident fundraising! Especially not ones with strong KYC and in bed with the IRS like Coinbase. That sort of defeats the entire point of crypto as it pertains to censorship resistance!

The Chinese, in contrast, seek harmony between nations and within Chinese society. The Chinese would happily aid America if it were not returned as race hatred, lies, threats and cajoling attempts at bullying. As the Chinese Embassy in Austfailia told the assembled presstitutes, Sinophobe bigots one and all (their jobs depend on it)the other day, Austfailia must stop looking at China as a milch-cow, to be milked for all we can get today, and slaughtered later on.

Indeed, when the Democrat Establishment enumerate threats posed by the nationalist right, two things they always cite are "populism" and "isolationism" (cuz you know, what could be a greater threat to Our Democracy than populism, and what could be a greater thereat to Our Values than minding our own business?).

It is precisely that that is killing you. Childish thinking of the type “look at what a white knight i’m”. “Look at how fair i’m”. “Look at my advanced values”.
This is childish thinking. Sounds like decadence driven by the narcisism of all powerful wealthy empire and its people becoming decadent and obsessed with proving to each other how advanced and sophisticated (woke?) they are.
You just bragged how you are woke (look at my values, lol) and you don’t even get it. Same thinking. They (woke ones) come from you. Other side of the medal.
This was a fight between intellectuals, and last time I checked, the populist Right is not known for intellectualism.

Wokeness certainly does weaken the US, but it also makes the US more haughty, aggressive and implacable. Normal Americans don’t give a crap about Uighurs in Xinjiang or gay marriage in Russia, and don’t think those things merit the bellicose threats the US Wokarchy is issuing over them. It is the wokeness that is making the US government so hostile to the ordinary internal affairs of China and Russia. Sane American oligarchs want to continue trade with China and want to keep Russia available as an OPEC alternative. To the extent ordinary Americans care about either of these countries, they just wish rich Chinese would stop buying up west coast real estate and leggy Natashas would stop swooping eligible bachelors.
Would a “white nationalist America” (the prospects of which are so remote as barely to warrant consideration) really be worse than Wokmerica, which is currently edging towards nuclear war over the right to dictate internal policy to both China and Russia?
To the extent that white nationalists have any foreign policy vision at all (their main concerns are domestic) they tend to be isolationist. Indeed, when the Democrat Establishment enumerate threats posed by the nationalist right, two things they always cite are “populism” and “isolationism” (cuz you know, what could be a greater threat to Our Democracy than populism, and what could be a greater thereat to Our Values than minding our own business?). It was right wing avatar Trump who proposed pulling out of NATO. It was the Wokarchy who ensured it didn’t happen and who now want to use it to fight a war or two.
My only counter would be if it is actually wokeness that is driving US aggression? The Chinese are POC after all. The real beef with China is not about Uyghurs who know one knew about till 5 years ago, its about the balance of power.
America is in inexorable decline in every aspect and China is rising at a meteoric rate. Even today after so much growth, China is only 60% urbanized. Simply rising to 80% urbanization like the rest of the deveoped world would see its GDP expand massively.
As Karlin has shown, China is due to surpass the US navy by 2030. While Jews are allowed to do business in China, they are not allowed to rob it or enslave it. China isn't fighting wars for Israel or giving them money.
The CIA predicted in the 90s that China would fall like the USSR and become an open society, i.e democracy owned by Jews. That hasn't happened.
They simply can't tolerate a superpower that they don't fully own like America. Plus the US deep state isn't happy with being the second power.

You encounter it often. On Zerohedge and other ‘patriot oriented’ alternate news sites they call him ‘China Joe’ and ‘Xiden’. If you ask them how it is that if Biden is ‘controlled’ by the Chinese, then why is the regime confronting China in what can only be an anticipation of war in the South China Sea, and also driving China in to a Russian alliance against the US?
You are given some convoluted explanation that makes no logical sense at all.
I suspect many haven’t even thought about it that deeply, but just repeat what they’ve read somewhere. Simple explanations for simplistic minds. That, and the general fact that a lot of people just don’t like Chinese–because they ‘eat dogs’, like to spit, or something else that is irrelevant.
That was a reasonable inference at that time.
However, recent events have indicated that the globalist/WEF faction is firmly in control of the DC regime and are beginning to turn tail on the CCP.
Basically, the globalist faction used the CCP to get Biden installed and are now ending that relationship, believing it is no longer useful.

Depends what you mean by ‘decline’. China would sure like the US to decline militarily, especially around their borders. And Russia too. But economically? Not really. China has a manufacturing high tech oriented economy. Chinese are also natural merchants. They want to sell, trade and make money. The US is the world’s largest buyer. China first wants to be able to sell their goods here. And I’m not talking their cheap junk, either. I’m talking about high tech related goods. And that requires a continued strong US economy.
So you can’t just look at it from a zero sum perspective, but rather a win win.
As far as Chinese supporting ‘wokeness’? Chinese really don’t understand that sort of thing. That sort of anti-cultural psychology is not a Chinese characteristic. It’s a mystery to them why the US would implode in such a way.

Maximum decline in geopolitical terms means the dissolution of the US into multiple countries. The only plausible scenario for dissolution is if conservative white Americans are certain of election rigging and have no hope within the system of doing anything about it. In that case they will want to split off red states from the rest of the US. The aggregate GDP of the new countries will be roughly the same as the US.

“Balance of power” is a quaintly 19th century concept that the Woke neither understand nor want. The only balance they know is that everyone must submit to them.
Yes.
Also true. There are non-woke factions whose objectives happen to play into wokism, so they are allowed to, but the point is they are allowed to because they are useful to the Wokists. If their objectives changed to being counter-woke, they would suddenly find they are not allowed to play into the agenda anymore.
Yes, and just like Britain’s gratuitous meddling cascaded into a century’s worth (and counting) of terrible consequences, we may well see a second cascade of gratuitously terrible consequences unleashed here.

However, recent events have indicated that the globalist/WEF faction is firmly in control of the DC regime and are beginning to turn tail on the CCP.
Basically, the globalist faction used the CCP to get Biden installed and are now ending that relationship, believing it is no longer useful.
Beijing must be furious, having spent significant time and money to install what they thought was their marionette in the White House.Replies: @Almost Missouri, @xyzxy
Agree. It wasn’t just reasonable, it was, as I recall, clearly spelled out on his son’s laptop that Joe Biden was getting various bribes from the ChiComs.
Perhaps, but I think that’s unnecessarily convoluted. I think the simpler explanation is that Biden got installed because he was the best Dems had at that place and time. The $x million that the ChiComs bribed his family with are a drop in the bucket of a $billion presidential campaign, and most of the Chinese money probably went up Hunter’s nose or to his rent-a-floozies so it didn’t directly affect the election campaign anyway.
Probably. It also shows the defect of carrot-only mercantile corruption. Biden is reneging on his end of the “deal”, so now what are the ChiComs gonna do, sue him? There’s no “enforcement provision” in bribery alone. You’re just relying on the honorable word of the guy who just showed you his honorable word is up for sale. That’s why Jeffrey Epstein-Mossad corruption project was so much more effective. “Do as you’re told or your career and life are over and you’re going to jail! We have the videotape!” 100% compliance. Cheaper too. And probably more fun for those operating it.
The Chinese thought it was going to be like China where corrupt officials do what they are bribed to do because they want to get the next bribe too. They were unprepared for the depraved and compromised conditions of the US government. The Chinese are smart though. They’ll catch on. Future corruption efforts will include sticks as well as carrots.
Anatoly Karlin, or anyone in the know, what would you recommend for an initial dive into Crypto currency?

I'd say pick a cheapish coin, learn about it, then buy in.

It’s remarkable what propaganda and twisted social values can do to a people.
Then again, the Russians lost Russia to a form of this madness for a time, and it took concerted action from leadership in the late 90s-present to counter act its more modern iteration. What I mean from this is that, in time, White (and the other) Americans may yet pull themselves out of the abyss they have both forged and been led into, and make a better system for themselves.
Of course, all people must suffer, especially for the sins of apathy and ignorance, let alone the sins of Empire.
To the extent that white nationalists have any foreign policy vision at all (their main concerns are domestic) they tend to be isolationist. Indeed, when the Democrat Establishment enumerate threats posed by the nationalist right, two things they always cite are "populism" and "isolationism" (cuz you know, what could be a greater threat to Our Democracy than populism, and what could be a greater thereat to Our Values than minding our own business?). It was right wing avatar Trump who proposed pulling out of NATO. It was the Wokarchy who ensured it didn't happen and who now want to use it to fight a war or two.Replies: @Caspar von Everec, @Boomthorkell
The ideal America goes Pan-Nationalist across all of North America. Isolationist in the foreign policy sense, communitarian in the local sense (White Nationalists run thrmsekces in their areas, cosmopolitan Seattle does its Seattle thing in the manner they are used to, and the Spanish a speaking regions follow their codes of conduct, along with forcibly old-ways native reservations), and with a strong focus on protectionist industry and agriculture where useful and good. Moratorium on immigration until we figure out how the get people to live together-or-separately in a North American Federation.
Basically, live-and-let-live with the world and internally. Just make the internal much bigger, preferably to the Panama Canal and all of Canada.

Why do you think the Chinese Qing Emperors strove to ban Christianity? They saw that it promoted cultural dissolution rather than strengthening. This was one of the causes of the Opium Wars btw.
If you blame the Jews for destroying “glorious Tsarist Russia”, I think the first place you should be actually looking is towards Christianity – a religion founded by a Jew, headed by Jews and aggressively spread throughout the world.

Assuming your land will never be nationalized, and no conquerors turn up there. These assumptions might hold in the UK. They might not hold elsewhere.
And China would do so. The difference between the West, particularly the Four and a Half Eyes racists, and China, is one of psychology. The West has always sought dominance over others, particularly non-Westerners (through Imperialism)but also one another through internecine economic and class warfare. The ‘Individual’ is paramount, but only a very tiny proportion of individuals, not all of them.
The Chinese, in contrast, seek harmony between nations and within Chinese society. The Chinese would happily aid America if it were not returned as race hatred, lies, threats and cajoling attempts at bullying.

A new White majority nation in what is now the US is going to happen in time.
White Liberals will be replaced by the four factors you mentioned however White conservatives will not, Conservative Whites have a big fertility advantage that will grow even more pronounced over time and the woke or brain washing factories we call universities colleges etc are all going broke in the mid to long term which is leading to less centralized ways of learning inc home schooling.
Together with the baked in differences between Normal Whites and Liberals with regards to everything from the flag to raising children we are going on divergent paths, I think we are seeing the beginnings of this divorce in movements like greater Idaho the recent Texit bill as well as West Virginia inviting Virginia counties to move there.
When you consider that at least 75 Million people voted for a guy the elite told them was a Nazi 24/7 that’s further underlines the fault lines we can all observe.

How much money did they spend? And where did they spend it? And how much time did they spend? And whose time was it?
I’m not trying to be a crank. It’s just when I read these sorts of explanations it makes me wonder if it’s actually something that happened, or something someone just made up, and then is repeated over the ‘Net.
You certainly have a point about ‘mass’ psychology. But it’s only a superficial point within the Chinese context.
The difference between what is going on in the US today, and what went down during the CR, is that the point of contention within the Maoist faction was not directed against ‘Chinese qua Chinese’, but rather was directed against the ‘old regime’ (and, by extension, certain of Mao’s then current political opponents, such as Lin Biao). The idea propagated during the CR was that those ‘struggled against’ were not authentic Chinese in their thinking, but instead were representatives of Western (and to an extent Soviet Russian) thought/idiologies.
So here’s the big difference: the CR was an indigenous Chinese ‘revolutionary’ movement run by Chinese, and not meant to replace Chinese with non-Chinese; the current US ‘wokeness’ has as its goal the racial replacement of the white majority, and is pushed by Jews along with other non ‘majority members’ such as blacks.
Also, it is understood that as soon as Mao died the Jiang Qing faction was quickly arrested, things turned around 180 degrees, and Deng’s ‘Socialism with Chinese Characteristics’ has prevailed since the early ’70s.
So while there may be some similarities between ‘wokeness’ and the CR from a mass psychological movement standpoint, the deeper ground is dissimilar.
Mao's China was a socialist internationalist state, as can be seen from Chinese propaganda of that time. Mao saw himself as most important leader in the international anti-imperialist struggle against western capitalists. How's that authentic Chinese?

As a product of Western Civilization, and a person who is a fan of history, I think what really needs to be said is that: “It had some incredibly good things and some incredibly bad things.”
That’s really all there is to it. The West managed to soft-ban pederastry by sheer cultural force, a much-loved tradition for the world, and then simultaneously in the modern era, try to make it cool again. The West was the modern Mongol Empire to the fractured and complacent countries of the world, for better and for worse (maybe “we” were the karmic response of the world to their own evils: suffering for suffering. Forced Evolution through Conflict). I would prefer a West that stuck solely, and I mean solely, to colonizing the New World and investing in itself, but it’s not like being run by a Caliphate was a great alternative. The Caliphates all fell apart for a reason. China’s dynasties were pretty great, but they still imploded every now and then. India’s Empires were great, but the British weren’t the first foreign invaders to roll in.
Anyhow, people should look at what is good in their civilization and strive to keep or improve them, because it is likely what is natural to their people (and modify accordingly), and look at what is bad or no longer feasible and do the same. The West won’t solve its problems by becoming China, Japan or Iran, just as China, Japan and Iran couldn’t solve their problems by becoming America. Hell, we can’t even become like each other. America should never have adapted the Prussian School System, and Greece being in the came economic/political entity as Germany seems laughable. Russia tried to become a German’s idea of Utopia and that worked out poorly.
Having said all that..as much as I really, really, really hate our modern Empire in all of its Neo-Liberal, Global Migrant Labor Force, Pozzed-“glory”…I guess it beats being the poor bastards who got colonized by this looney bunch. What does that say about them? I think Karlin pointed out that once when he mentioned that the Afghans will likely never be a force in the world, but the Rainbow Flag Legion remains a goliath in need of a knee-capping.
Here’s hoping for the end of The Empire, and the West figuring out what it needs to do to undo all that bad karma, and the rest of the world getting to live in a brighter age. Possibly one brighter with healthy small conflicts and good, solid infrastructure investment.

People of the non west were doing excellent in expelling of Muslims, from India to Russia. Before the British came to the subcontinent, Sikhs and Marathas had completely destroyed local Muslim empires, and were in the process of driving Mahomeddans to Hindukush, but then the eternal Anglo came and spoiled the party. And theres never been a power more dangerous to Islam than the Russian empire, Russians defeated countless Muslim states, forced Muslims to retreat from the Steppes, Balkans and Caucasus, and without the interference of Britain and France, or the oh, so good and fine West, Russia would have liberated Constantinople, Armenian Highlands and Trebizond, there would have been no Armenian(there were multiple), Greek or Assyrian genocides if evil Britain would have not supported the Ottoman Empire with all her might.

Ha ha, I didn't mean to imply that without Europe, the world would be ruled by mini-Caliphates or an expanded Ottoman Empire. While I'm not saying Russia was the same as the Franks, they certainly did have some connections and were both having a fun time, at times, righteously crusading. Alas, the Catholics and Frankish\Germanic West decided eventually that Russian\Greek Orthodox were a bigger threat than the Musulmans (in a sense, of course, they right. Russia was a strong independent power, while the Muslim peoples by then were something easily ruled over.)
Anyhow, what I meant was just that, of the competing civilizational models of the era, it wasn't like any of the others were pure-100% winners. Thus, I listed the "Caliphate" (those who think a strictly religious, "based", Islamic society was a better competitor), East Asia, and South Asia (both models that are better fitting for their people, than others.) I didn't even mention Russia simply because I would find it offensive to totally exclude them from Europe, when they never excluded themselves. I'm just saying " The West" in the modern, more annoying sense.
Anyhow, I absolutely agree on Russia. You'd be pleased with some of my EU games ; D
Also, yes on the Middle Eastern Christians too. I don't *like* what my civilization has done, and continues to do, abroad. It's evil. I'm just not throwing out the baby with the bathwater, or forgetting all historical context in my own wrath against the system and culture around me.

Oh, I was actually thinking of the Marathas when I was writing about India’s Empires (and who could forget the Sikhs or Palas?) It remains though that many (North\Central) Indian Empires were born out of Central Asian powers, Islamic or not. The Anglos are not eternal was my point, but a variation (and global expansion) on foreign invaders looking to get rich off of Indian labor and resources. God help us if they were eternal! Ha ha ha. No one is, I think.

False, the main accusation against those who were persecuted during the CR was that they were not revolutionary and communist enough. Mao’s China claimed to be more orthodox in communism than USSR and it’s allies. It’s true that some were accused of being agents of western or soviet imperialists, but holding of traditional chinese values was seen as being anti-regime and enemy of the people.

What does this have to do with China and the cultural revolution?
Such ‘incompetence’ that during the Cultural Revolution/Great Leap Forward years, Chinese GDP INCREASED for the first time since Qing Rule. And its population almost doubled. Also, Mao’s nomenklatura laid the ground work that a later Mao apparatchik (Deng Xiaoping) would leverage into producing one of the strongest world economies.
So much for ‘incomptence’ lol.

Well, as Mao said of Stalin to Kruchev, “I always said, now, and then in Moscow, that the criticism of Stalin’s mistakes is justified. We only disagree with the lack of strict limits to criticism. We believe that out of Stalin’s ten fingers, three were rotten ones.” Wise words Chairman, wise words! Similarly one can say, that three of Mao’s fingers were rotten. Thanks to him China was united, but Cultural Revolution and Long Leap Forwards, were pure idiocy, there are many African countries with growing GDP, that have their populations doubled or more, after gaining their independence, but is that itself a sure sign of success?
No. They are ‘pure idiocacy’ to arm chair historians such as yourself. In fact, both policies made pre-eminent sense at the time – the Cultural Revolution was an attempt to democratize China and give the people more power whereas the Great Leap Forward was a recognition of a need to rapidly industralize. There were mistakes made – but ultimately they were successful – the population grew, China retained its culture (mostly – just look at how much the CCP promotes Chinese traditional culture currently), and the population doubled.
If the CR and GLF were ‘idiocacy’, while seeing rapid GDP growth/population increases I don’t know what success is then.
You do realize that China was ruled by the KMT for almost thirty years before that (after freeing itself from the Europeans)? And during this time there was no grow in population (in fact there was famine for almost the entire duration), widespread corruption and little (if any) GDP growth? So your argument comparing China of that time to post-independence Africa countries is mistaken.
Also perhaps a Kuomintang China might be way more pozzed than the PRC.Replies: @Xi-jinping
Just look at the Maddison Project: China’s GDP per capita was only slightly higher during KMT times than late Qing. After cratering in WWII the economy rapidly recovered up to 1953 (at a moderately lower level than Korea) when it started to stagnate and go downhill in the Great Leap Forward. After recovering at the start of Cultural Revolution it expanded slowly until Deng came around and opened the country up. Almost all economic growth in China happened after the mid-70s.
There was a dent in population because of the Great Leap Forward, kind of like Stalinist Russia/Ukraine in the 30s, but not as drastic as in Soviet Kazakhstan where the native Kazakh population only recovered in size 35 years later.
Alternate history KMT China post WWII would had more substantial growth and development for sure, but that’d be a different East Asia.
As we can see from the link below, China's GDP grew overall throughout Mao's years (albeit slowly, but grew nonetheless).

The Egyptian army was defeated at Tel El Kebir in 1882, they did not just hand the country over. Later there were a series of Anglo-Egyptian campaigns against the Mahdists in Sudan, who could forget Gordon of Khartoum and the fuzzy-wuzzies?
In other parts of Africa handfuls of French and British officers leading small numbers of native askaris and tirailleurs subjugated all of the Islamic powers there.
While the Armenian genocide was going on Britain and France were at war with the Ottoman Empire and were attempting to invade Anatolia, which was made more difficult as a result of the assistance the Germans had given to the Turkish army.
When the allies dismembered the Ottoman Empire Greece was allowed to occupy much of Anatolia but was later defeated by Turkish nationalists, apparently supported by the nascent Soviet Union.
If it is just a question of reducing the amount of poz in the world, Britain should have accepted the Fuhrer’s tacit offer of joining the New Order in Europe in summer 1940 and allowed the Germans to teach and purify the British population of the degeneracy that he believed had set in due to urban life and mass democracy. There would probably have been more famines in India and Africa in subsequent years.

Would an ATL KMT China have developed to the height of OTL Red China, surpassed it or languished below it?
The Kuomintang never fully controlled the whole of China, and when they managed to control the bulk of the population in the 1930s, they were interrupted by the Japanese attack after a few years, but in the core coastal areas industrialization picked up in those years. I think it’s pretty obvious that China would have industrialized no matter what, the Second World War and the Maoist experiment likely slowed it down a lot. Mao’s big achievement was winning the civil war and unifying the country, though after 1945 the nationalists might have been able to do that, had their military strategy been sounder, and especially if they had also received aid from America. (As it happened, there was even an arms embargo during the most critical period of the civil war.)
Also perhaps a Kuomintang China might be way more pozzed than the PRC.
The ruler of Egypt, Khedive, could not pay his loans, so he accepted the presence of foreign troops. Yes, some of the troops rebelled against Khedive and foreigners, but not all.
You Anglos are sly folk, how convenient for you to forget everything that happened before the First World War. For whole 19th century Britain actively supported Ottomans against Russia and every time when Russia was close of destroying the sick beast once and for all, British intervened, either directly as in Crimean War, or by threatening war if Russia starts or continues hostilities with the Osmans. If British would have accepted the natural course of events, Ottoman Empire would have collapsed half a century before the Great War, thus countless of Christians and various other minorities of the Empire would have been saved from the fate that later befell on them. There was not just one Armenian genocide, but three, and there were various other genocides before the Great War, like Bulgarian genocide. If you know Dostoyevsky well, you might remember what the great writer said of turks in the Brothers Karamazov.
Britain, USSR, German Reich, were all deeply spiritually corrupted nations, but at least UK and USSR were little bit more humane than the Germans, both were not planning of destruction of whole people like Germans with Poles. The present state of our societies is not the fault of the masses who fought in the war, they did their best in hard circumstances, the true reason lies in elites, and in some hostile elements, which lied dormant in those years.
Africa as a problem, is directly because of Anglos and French, it’s you who brought the green revolution there, Sub-Saharan Africa had only tens of millions people one hundred years ago. Like who is so bad in conquering that in less than century her former subjects have 10-20 times larger population, and at the same time her own people are demographically collapsing? Russia’s present situation is not a laughing matter, but at least Russia got hope, real hope.
Not forgetting, but not accepting claims that Britain and France did nothing that would have prevented the Armenian genocide in 1915-16. never successfully fought Muslims (the Imperial Russian military didn’t have some special or unique capability there) and that the only way of preventing the killings of Christians was to hand the Bosporus, the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean over to the hegemony of the Russian Empire. Which would have meant a major European war on account of that later and some sort of ongoing Turkish insurgency.
.
Here it would be pozzed to ignore the role of the Soviet Union in the decolonisation of Africa, in creating and promoting anti-imperialist ideology, in pushing for African development and in subverting the only European powers who had an idea of how ending the European presence in Africa might impact the future of Europe. The US and the Soviet Union did this in their own perceived national interests at that time, but they still did it.
The idea that Africa should have been isolated and left unexplored (the Portuguese at fault here) and no modern technology or knowledge should have been transferred is an interesting one.
Every nation that was militarily powerful and capable of conquest 100 years ago is now experiencing demographic decline. By the early 20th century it was clear the major potential for growth was mainly outside of Europe.
The Germans appear to have somehow had a grasp or foresight about the potential future, that populations outside of Europe could expand massively once technology and development started to spread there, that racial or ethnic conflict could be a permanent fixture of human life, that industrialised European society was causing falls in fertility even in the 1920s and that prosperity could cause populations to somehow degenerate and adopt bizarre behaviours. But as you suggest, there were serious moral and ethical problems with the solutions they thought of adopting.

Russia has fought with Muslims almost from the very inception of Rus state, already in 10th century princes of Vladimir warred with the Muslim Turks of Volga Bulgaria.
You are now making a straw man, and not just one, but two strawmen, or maybe even three! Your deceptive nature is absolutely same as the nature of your forefathers! Russia had no designs for conquering other areas than the Bosborus Straits, Trebizond and neighbouring Armenian Highlands. Where you got this idea, that Russian Empire planned to annex whole of Ottoman Empire under it’s dominion? Russians are not as greedy as Anglos are, maybe you are projecting? As I stated previously:
Therefore those areas which has Christian majorities or pluralities would have been saved from the worst, even the Ottoman Thrace had a Christian majority, before the turks ethnically cleansed or exterminated Thracian Bulgarians in 1913.
But you even have a gall to claim that it was justified for Britain to deny Russia the control of Bosborus, even though they were crucially important for Russia’s foreign trade, and at the same time you probably don’t see any problem of British control over Suez and Gibraltar, which were important, but less critical for the existence of Britain than the free passage of goods through the Bosborus were for Russia’s well being. One of main factors for Russia’s economical collapse in WW1, was the closing of the Straits. Hypocrite with dual standards that is an Engländer!
Romania, Bulgaria and Greece, were all established thanks to Russian intervention, were those countries then after their independence Russian puppets, did they end under Russia’s hegemony? No and no, once again you are desperately lying in justifying the crimes of your nation. It’s likely that if Russia could have acted freely with the Ottomans, the present day Bulgaria, Armenia and Greece would be much larger, and other European powers would have kept Greece and Bulgaria as not dependent on Russia, for Greece being under Russian hegemony, was never a possibility, for Russia lacked a strong navy, unlike other great European powers, and Greece’s geography is dominated by the sea, so no hegemony there without a strong navy.
As I stated previously, Russia had no plans of occupying whole of Anatolia, but even if they had, Russia was no child in dealing with Muslim subjects, for she had centuries of experience of ruling over various Mahommeddans. Clearly in your opinion Russia is so bad that there would have been a bitter Muslim insurgency, but when British are occupying Muslim lands, such matters are not a problem?
True and true, still I personally believe that Arab, Portuguese and German rule in Africa would have been in the longer run better and more beneficial to humanity, than the British and French rule were.
There is no racial conflict in Russia or India, and both countries are very diverse. There has been ethnic conflicts as long as there has been ethnicities, similarly there has been civil wars as long as there has been states. NSDAP made a huge service to our enemies, both good and bad that were even remotely associated them, were left with the reek of Nazism, Liberalism was already slowly dying, but was revived thanks to Hitler.
The Russian Empire, from the time of Peter, wanted Constantinople as the first step towards the conquest of India. This is not a secret. The Russian Tsar Paul attempted to launch an invasion of India with FRench support in 1801. The Crimean War was primarily undertaken, at least by Britian, to stop Russia moving through the Balkans to Constantinople. I wouldn’t say Imperial Russia was conspicuosly restrained in its colonial ambition. They somehow managed to occupy Siberia and the Caucusus.

Coconuts and other Englishmen, I am sorry, there was no need for me to be so insulting and childish towards your people and country. It’s perfectly natural for people to love their nation, see best in her and not always notice her errors. The sins of Russia are also grave, though not in her traditional Russian manifestation, and Russia has already paid a heavy price for her transgressions.

The Straits had nothing to do with it, labor strikes after the February Revolution caused a decline and then Bolshevism collapsed it. Russian industrial production was 25% higher in 1916 than in 1914.

The 1801 invasion aimed to cross overland from Central Asia to india. Mostly the objective was Aleppo rather than Egypt. Ships carried goods to Kuwait and then were shipped up the Tigris and Euphrates. This was a more direct route than Egypt. It also was consistent with the Tsar’s claim to be the leader of all Orthodox Christians, the Egyptian Copts being less Orthodox than the various Christian sects scattered across modern Iraq and Syria. There were Orthodoxmonks and nuns trapped in the early part of the present Syrian war.
In other words, Constantinople had nothing to do with India.
Russia did not want Constantinople so it could have India. It wanted Constantinople so it could have Constantinople. It wanted Tibet, not because it wanted India, but because it wanted Tibet, because it wanted a border of Himalayas as its Southern Border rather than a border of vast desert plains.
Having said that, I imagine a Russia which somehow successfully held on and expanded all of its earlier Persian and Middle Eastern gains would not have been in a position to expand into India. More likely than anything, it would probably have had a cold war against the British Raj while simultaneously trying to digests several millions of Persians, Afghan Persians, Turks and Arabs.
Wokeness short of leading to the dissolution of the US has its most pronounced effect on the military and officer corps as shown by Karlin. Eventually woke immigration policies could lead to enough electoral support and the passing of Medicare for All, which based on spending estimates of $3 trillion+ per year will certainly hit the military budget and number of bases worldwide.Replies: @RadicalCenter
Yes, you’re right that mass immigration has substantially altered our culture and politics, as intended by those trying to swamp and dispossess us. But:
Without anyone voting who was born outside the usa or has a parent born outside the usa, US Citizens would give majority support to publicly funded universal medical and dental insurance on their own.
Secondly, if the dollar loses its status as world reserve currency, the overspending binge will have to stop, and military / foreign-base / war spending would have to be drastically reduced — whether or not the fed gov institutes costly new entitlement programs like universal medical insurance.
Point unclear but try appr’d unprove communicate nonsense.
So Constantinople had nothing to do with the 1801 attempt, while reaching Aleppo would perhaps have captured a small chunk of the India trade, which was captured by the Ottomans in the absence of a Russian conquest of Constantinople (and Aleppo).
In other words, Constantinople had nothing to do with India.
The second step: ???
The third step: India!
But what’s the second step? Somewhere it must contain little things like building the strongest navy on the planet and the conquest of Suez, and before it was built, building the canal...Replies: @Philip Owen, @Daniel Chieh, @Boomthorkell
Victory in the East by invading the West!
Also perhaps a Kuomintang China might be way more pozzed than the PRC.Replies: @Xi-jinping
What we saw was a KMT that was unable to do much of anything – including unifying the country, building any sort of industrial base or reducing corruption in any appreciable quantity. KMT relying on America would have led to China becoming another American colony rather than taking revenge for its century of humiliation.

Lol, truly, a brilliant scheme.
Call me crazy, but I think Russia designs on India and Tibet, such as they were, were an outgrowth of its interests in Central Asia and the Caucasus, including Iran. India, by itself, was not the goal. The goal was expansion, both in the defensive and offensive sense. In regards to Constantinople and the Middle East, the goal here was civilizational (unite the Roman Christian World), and practical (Crush the threat of the Ottomans, establish dominance and warm water ports in the South, etc.)
Russia did not want Constantinople so it could have India. It wanted Constantinople so it could have Constantinople. It wanted Tibet, not because it wanted India, but because it wanted Tibet, because it wanted a border of Himalayas as its Southern Border rather than a border of vast desert plains.
