None of it has made sense to me either, not from the traditional "we're going to war" perspective.
But it does make sense as you put it.
Russia actually went to the UN to prove it's case before it invaded Ukraine. Why was that never reported in western media? Because the west needs Russia to be the bad guy.
But then, why did Russia wait so long to invade? Like you pointed out, why would Russia "wait" to invade until after the US pullout from Afghanistan? It would have made more sense to go in while the US was spread out, if winning was the goal.
For me what's most telling is how Russia is fast forwarding CBDC, and gearing up for more COVID vaccines and masking.
Russia is doing the same thing the western countries, and China are doing. Why would they be focusing on CBDC in the middle of a war? It's all very suspicious.
As Russia's “3-day special operation” stretches into its 900th day, let's examine Vladimir Putin's unintended accomplishments:
1. Brought the war to his own soil
2. Expanded NATO by two historically neutral nations (Finland and Sweden)
3. Caused a revival of defense spending in the West
4. Renewed Western appreciation for their military forces
5. Boosted Western arms exports
6. Bootstrapped Western autonomous weapons technology
7. Turned Russia into a totally dependent Chinese vassal state
8. Lost most of his soft power over Western politicians
9. Tarnished Russia's superpower image.
At the same time, NATO hasn't lost a single square meter of territory or a single soldier, while Russia has lost more than 4,534 officers, according to Russian sources.
In light of these outcomes, Putin's “special operation” can only be described as a strategic catastrophe for Russia.
Intrigued that you mention demiurgos at the end; I had been wondering about the absence of a metaphysical perspective in your long pieces, without which political commentary seems to always tend towards an implicit avocation of political action - acting as if the theater were real.
Staring at and deconstructing the false images of war and real-politik implicitly invites the option of turning away - Neti Neti, but don't forget to chop the firewood and bring in the water.
The WEFian globohomo is like the demiurgos, a prisoner of his own demented vision of Nature-as-smart-city in which his only triumph is to be the biggest battery.
Thanks Jasun; you are correct, and I like the way you put it - without a grounding metaphysics the political commentary does tend toward avocation of political action. I would describe my views as tentatively gnostic and certainly philosophically pessimistic in character, which I delved into here: https://neofeudalreview.substack.com/p/meditations-on-the-problem-of-evil and here https://neofeudalreview.substack.com/p/philosophical-pessimism-a-denial . That's not to say I think political action is always wrong -- my profiles in courage series (Charles August Lindbergh, Gareth Jones, Julian Assange and Ian Smith so far) highlights actions taken at great personal cost to have a positive impact in this world, but I am tentative and relatively distrustful of it generally given the "arc of history" in the long-term seems to move toward ever-increasing centralization and loss of personal autonomy...
I think you & Rolo/Ruik are more correct than anyone else I've read so far, and you both certainly age better!
Just wanted to let you know Martin Armstongs book "The Plot to Seize Russia" is in the wild on the anti-copyright databases, it was oringally $150 so not many people will have read it.
the slow d/l servers work eventually without an account:
Facinating tale lifting the veil on oligarch/bankster/politicos shinanigans behind the scenes, puts a whole different perspective on things, Amstrong was invited to join in the plot for $10 Billion, he refused, ended up serving 7 years in US gaol for contempt of court for his trouble (and to cover up the plot).
Appreciate it if you could pass the link on to Ruik, can't find a way to get though to him without paying.
I'm no scholar, but I think it just comes down to money and control.
The people behind the BIS, whoever they are, and I don't think we'll really know until its sovereign immunity is removed and its investigated, have basically won the monopoly game. They own everything and now the game is over so they want to just kill every useless eater that might even think independently, and at the same time enclose whatever is left of the commons like air, water, dna.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and they are absolutely corrupt, whatever you want to call their "religion".
As far as I'm concerned, they can explain whatever is in their screwed up minds on their way up the stairs to the gallows. After fair trials of course.
Can anyone actually confirm if Ukraine means borderland in Russian? I've heard conflicting things and believe this an old piece of propaganda from decades past.
Here's globohomo-aligned Brookings Institute on the meaning back in 2011: "In the Russian language, Ukraine has two meanings: one, the country of 43 million people that lies on the north coast of the Black Sea, and two, “on the border” or “borderland.” For most of the past 20 years, Kiev’s foreign policy aimed, and largely managed, to fix on Europe’s geopolitical map the first meaning rather than the second. Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich is now undoing that."
Ukrainian school cherishes the first mention of the word Ukraine in 1187, pertaining to the death of a Pereyaslav sovereign. Although Pereyaslav was in the middle of Russia (alongside Kiev, Chernigov and Novgorod-Seversk - not Novgorod the Great which viewed itself as outside Russia prior to the 14th ct.), it can be viewed in the context of the volatile steppe borderland.
Southern Russia was later incorporated by Lithuania and into Poland, which in turn applied the name Ukraine more commonly in the 17th ct. In Russian parlance, there were more ukraines, too - such as the cossack military borderlands somewhere in the Urals.
Yes, I say Russia because "Rus" is a weird cucked tranny translation of a Russian archaic form, introduced in the 19th ct. Russian historiography by the Russians without a hint of splitting Russia in twine.
And for the life of me, can someone explain why _nobody_ is using the definite article, THE Ukraine? Omitting it is transvestite agenda, yet both Rolo and Chechar do it...
As Kenneth Vinther pointed out in his review of Scott Howard’s The Transgender-Industrial Complex (2020) at Counter Currents, transgenderism is a thoroughly kosher campaign: “at the top of the [transgender] pyramid rests a series of charming Jewish billionaires...”
I find it amazing that all "Russia and China are slaves of Globohomo central banking cabal" are unable to distinguish between instrumental goals and terminal goals, and unaware about convergence of instrumental goals no matter what terminal goal you have.
If Klaus Schwab declared that, for example, hypersonic missiles are instrumental to implement his Great Reset, these thinkers would immediately say that this is evidence of Russia being a slave of Globohomo as Russia is leading in hypersonic missile technology. Oh, Klaus Schwab said something about CBDCs, and so did Putin? They must have the exact same terminal goals because both talk about CBDCs! The same with masks and COVID vaccines. Oh, Russia never allowed Western mRNA vaccines? Let's ignore that! They are all onboard with exactly the same plan!
Prigozhin's whining about him not getting infinity ammunition is taken as a deep insight into how bad Putin is sabotaging the war effort.
Girkin/Strelkov, a Russian version of Lindsey Graham, who is advocating for a WWII-style total war against everyone and until the complete destruction of all of NATO (how popular do you think such a goal would be with the population of Russia?), is presented as a source of wisdom.
Any war effort less than the USSR's levels of war effort in 1941-1945 are presented as "Russia isn’t fighting the war very hard" and as "Russia has refused to mobilize its economy for a war footing," despite Russia outproducing all of NATO combined in some critical war materiel like artillery shells. I guess the only "real" war is the one where you abandon all civilian economy, implement 500 cal/day food rationing and dedicate 100% of your economy to war effort. Anything below that is declared to be a "fake" war.
The link that is presented as evidence that "Putin has a World Economic Forum puppet as the head of the Russian Central" does not actually present any evidence of Nabiullina being a World Economic Forum puppet. It is normal for puppets of the "Central Banking cabal" to be cut off from Western central banking system with sanctions? How does this even many any sense? Likewise, zero evidence is presented to support the idea that "Russia’s central bank is privately owned by foreign parties." Russia almost abandoned the use of USD in its foreign trade and is working with BRICS countries to develop an alternative method for international payments? Let's ignore all that, "it's all fake" and "the world is a stage," after all.
Somehow, Russia's industrial growth is ignored and it's proclaimed that Russia is doing "everything possible to prevent internal investments in the manufacturing sector or anything else working to develop own economy and to create a favorable internal investment climate." This nonsense is not supported by the facts of the real world. What next? Is China doing "everything possible to prevent internal investments in the manufacturing sector or anything else working to develop own economy and to create a favorable internal investment climate" too, despite being #1 world manufacturer?
"Putin’s initial rise within Russia was due to [...] his willingness to let them pillage Russia." So, if Putin is currently a WEF puppet, can you explain his current unwillingness to let them pillage Russia? Why are Western assets in Russia being seized? That's like the opposite of letting them pillage Russia.
"What Putin and the Russian oligarchs fear the most, just like western leaders, is their own populists" is written about a politician who just had an election with 88% of the votes with 77% turnout. "It's fake!!!" even though the numbers match exit polls and public opinion polls ("Yes, but those are fake too!!! Everything is fake!!!"). What does a populist opposition to Putin look like, exactly? What's the voter base of that populist opposition? Is it the 12% who didn't vote for Putin, are they the "populist majority?" Does the CPC fear some mythical "populists" too?
And thus it is concluded "We’ve demonstrated that Russia has undermined its own war efforts and that the Russian elite, especially Putin, are onboard with the World Economic Forum agenda, with a western-oriented central bank which loots the country."
The inability to differentiate between various political regimes in the world and the ability to ignore overwhelming evidence of Russia's and China's geopolitical moves not being aligned with the West's geopolitical moves is stunning. Russia is a slave of Globohomo, yet it's opposed to homos and troons? Why are the politicians in Ireland and Poland imposing homos and troons on their conservative populations but Russia isn't, even though all three are supposedly slaves of Globohomo.
The perspective is most certainly unusual in its ability to ignore most of the facts of the real world.
I think you’re pretty spot on, Putin isn’t a bought and paid for “actor” like these mental gymnasts would love to believe, he’s just a KGB boomer who has been lied to by his subordinates as previous Soviet leaders were lied to out of fear or incompetence, they’re giving Russians way too much credit with these grand theories, they are the same retards they have always been.
Sofa Legion Strategist has released a delicious video summing up his arguments about Putin being a CIA agent. Also, feel free to check out the most recent stream. The fact that these obvious things aren't talked about in the West means that either everyone is controlled, or retarded.
But Strategos' thesis can be checked - if Western forces engage Russian, and the Kremlin does nothing, the nukes might start flying - and not a single one on New York.
This article is something I intended to write for r/TheMotte a year ago (translating that one Sofa Legion Strategist video, plus Strelkov's famous questions) - but you put it more crisply than I ever could.
Still, there are some questions - what if selling oil to the Ukraine benefits the Russian forces more? Or if Putin is a CIA agent, why did he start dismantling Russia just now?
Strategist's response to the latter is that the Russian nuclear stockpile has been decreasing for 30 years, and at some point, America will count it as plausible to conduct the disarming nuclear strike against Russia. Incidentally, it has been reported to him that most of the US nuclear submarines have been at sea these days - although the veracity is dubious. (Still, be cautious around Sundays!)
