Situation Report: Operation Z

 By Nightvision for the Saker Blog

The biggest development is the announcement by Russia/Putin of Mariupol’s “official liberation.” I’ve written before about how Russia often ‘jumps the gun’ on announcements, but it’s true that the city proper is liberated with the exception of the industrial complex of Azovstal. With that said, there are still upwards of 2000 or more highly trained, fanatical Azov militants and marine remnants of the 36^th Brigade holed up in the factory, and they have extreme amounts of incentive not to surrender any time soon.

Bizarrely, western media continues to refer to Mariupol as ‘besieged’ and even Zelensky now claims Mariupol will be taken back soon and that a force is being ‘prepared’ to liberate the city from Russians. It’s hard to discern if this is complete delusion or pure propaganda – maybe a mix of both.

Putin also announced the cancellation of plans to ‘storm’ the complex in order to reduce risks to Russian servicemen, instead opting to besiege it and starve the Zelensky regime militants out.

DPR flag was hung at the highest point of Mariupol in honor of the liberation: https://www.bitchute.com/video/m28IHMBBOm7F/

On the topic of sieging the Azovstal, some additional information: Firstly, according to well-connected Aleksandr Sladkov, the sieged Azovstal remnants have around two weeks’ worth of food/supplies still left and that they had much more but it was destroyed in Russian strikes. So my original guess was roughly accurate that they could theoretically hold out another week or two, maybe more.

But with that said, the remaining allied forces will not simply stand idly by and ‘wait them out’. The tactic will be to continue air and artillery strikes on the factory complex in order to keep the psychological pressure on the Azovites high to accelerate their eventual surrender. So regular combat will continue around the complex, but the troops simply will not attempt to do the job of ‘tunnel rats’ and storm the ‘catacombs’ as Putin put it. As you know some enemy forces still maintain positions on the surface, in buildings etc., and those will continue to be engaged and eliminated while the ones deep below wait and fester.

“The blockade ring around the [Azovstal] plant is now saturated with technical reconnaissance equipment, drones are constantly in the air.” We talked with the former chief of staff of the Alfa anti-terror group, Sergey Polyakov, about how to clean up Azovstal from nationalists: If someone leans out of the ground through the exits from bunkers or storm sewers, and even with a mortar, artillery fire opens on him. Whether it be during the day or at night.” According to Polyakov, aviation will continue preventive point bombing: Following the fire strikes, our assault groups will move forward. Today they took the Azovstal plant management. And so it will continue: the positions of the enemy will be gnawed out meter by meter. Time is now working for us.”

Meanwhile, the Somali Battalion has already been fully recalled for redeployment back to the Donbass, headed mostly to the Avdiivka frontline.

Chechens also celebrate the liberation:

Russian tankers are happy as well: https://www.bitchute.com/video/3f78yPPGv9Rh/

A lot of reconstruction and cleaning up is already happening around Mariupol, administrative services returning and the like. First school classes in some sections as well. Other towns around the region and elsewhere are already de facto integrating into the Russian Federation more and more. For instance passes being issued in Berdiansk for official vehicles are now being registered with a seal that says Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Berdiansk, Russia.

And in liberated LPR cities like Svatove and Starobelsk, LPR license plates for cars are already being issued to replace Ukrainian ones.

A Ukrainian politician has stated the following: “Ludmila Denisova, Ukrainian Parliament’s Commissioner for Human Rights, says that the Russians are planning to hold an independence referendum in Kherson during May 1-May 10 to create another DNR and LNR like statelet in southern Ukraine. Ballots are reportedly being printed.”

Also:

“Crimean Tatars support the inclusion of Kherson and Zaporozhye regions in the Crimean Federal District. The Crimean Tatars proposed to recreate the Crimean Federal District with the inclusion of the south of Ukraine. This statement was made by the head of the regional national-cultural autonomy of the Crimean Tatars Eyvaz Umerov.”

“Residents of the Kherson and Azov parts of the Zaporozhye regions of Ukraine, who once belonged to the Tauride province together with Crimea, speak of their desire to return to Russia, because they no longer want to be under the yoke of Ukrainian nationalists

“At least 2/3 of the residents of southern Ukraine, in particular, Kherson oblast, parts of Nikolayev oblast and Zaporozhye, would vote in favor of joining Russia, if an appropriate referendum were to be held”, says Crimean senator of the Russian Federation Council Sergei Tsekov

Today Ukraine threatened that if ‘Russia holds a referendum for the Kherson People’s Republic, then Ukraine will withdraw from all negotiations with Russia.’ Likely Russia isn’t worried.

And now there’s word that Kharkov too may eventually be allowed to hold a referendum, giving us a clue as to Russia’s ultimate vision for Kharkov Oblast.

“Following the stabilization of the situation in the liberated territories of the Kharkov region, a referendum or a poll of citizens can be held on the political future of the region, head of the interim political administration of the liberated Kharkov region, told RIA Novosti.”

Rustam Minnekaev, deputy commander of the Central Military District of Russia has stated that the goal of Phase 2 is to capture Donbass and create land corridor to Crimea. Then Peskov reaffirmed the goal to integrate most of the southern areas of Ukraine into the ‘Russian space’.

‘Minnekayev also said that controlling southern Ukraine would open “another way to Transnistria,” where he claimed “there are also instances of oppressing the Russian-speaking population.”’

 

It’s looking more and more likely that some version of the map above is the minimum of what will come about as a result of the SMO. I say minimum because there is no indication whatsoever that Phase 2 is the “final phase”, simply that these are roughly the objectives of Phase 2. There may very well be further phases to capture the rest of Ukraine, although even if/when captured, Russia will most likely not incorporate those territories but rather conduct regime change and thorough de-militarization/de-nazification on the remaining rump-state of Ukraine to make sure it cannot be a threat ever again.

In other news, a group of Communist Party deputies led by Gennady Zyuganov proposed a bill to the State Duma to change the national flag of Russia. They propose to replace the white-blue-red stripes with the Soviet red banner with a hammer and sickle. Doubtful that this will work but they are clearly trying to ride the new wave of patriotism.

Also, Russia will increase the production of Kalibr missiles.

“This conclusion is made by the analyst “InformNapalm” Anton Pavlushko on the basis of data discoveries.
He cites information that the UEC-Saturn plant in the Russian city of Rybinsk, Yaroslavl Region, is recruiting up to 500 new employees due to “increase in production volumes.” It is at this plant that engines for Caliber missiles are produced.
And then our Western friends got excited, because according to their version, Russia has long since run out of missiles, and there is nothing to produce new ones from.”

With that said there appears to be sabotage strikes aimed at stopping these efforts as yesterday an important military research facility in Russia suddenly burned down with 7 dead and 20-30 injured. It happened in the same day that a large chemical plant also caught fire under suspicious circumstances.

But not to be left out, the U.S. suffered its own humiliation. A B-1B lancer, one of the U.S.’s most advanced supersonic bombers worth $300 million, burned down during routine maintenance. The whole fleet was grounded last year to investigate problems with the fuel system – I guess they never managed to fix them. The whole fleet seems in trouble.

Another interesting development, in the Donbass a member of the OSCE was arrested for espionage.

OSCE employee detained https://twitter.com/Cyberspec1/status/1517456096956276736

More and more reports recently have come to light showing how deviously the OSCE has been operating. One report said that OSCE officials even provided artillery fire correction for the AFU forces by leaving cameras on their cars in the vicinity which transmitted feeds to the AFU. The organization has truly been exposed as a clandestine operation for the West akin to the White Helmets.

On the war front, Russia has begun bombing rail infrastructure, this time striking bridges and railways in Zaporizhzhia and Dnieperpetrovsk to hamper AFU resupplies.

“BREAKING: A Russia strike in the north of Mykolaiv Oblast has killed up to 80 Ukrainian soldiers and destroyed 23 Armoured vehicles, including a command post.”

It also took control of a massive secret underground arsenal in the Kharkov region, which is said to be the largest in all of Ukraine. https://twitter.com/MarQs__/status/1517549948048494594

This underground bunker has a storied history, reportedly built in WW1 to supply the Russian army and was used strategically in WW2 as well. There appears to be thousands of tons of built up armaments, including western artillery ammo, etc that is now seized by the RF.

https://twitter.com/MarQs__/status/1517547827664232448

On the frontlines, the most significant advances occurred in the north where it’s now being reported by the Ukrainian side that Russia has in fact taken Lozove which is a key city on the way to Lyman which itself is the final key strategic city to encircling Slavyansk, as Lyman controls important transportation corridors in the region.

Last time we reported Kreminna and Torske area falling to RF forces (red circles on the right). But now there is reported fighting either in or on the outskirts of Lyman. Several buildings in Lyman were recorded on fire and sounds of loud gunfire exchanges as well, so Lyman appears to be in the crosshairs next.

However on the Izyum front to the west, RF forces still have not been able to break through to Dovhen’ke (blue circle) as that forested area continues to be a problem with hidden Ukrainian units making breakthrough difficult.

On the southern front, no major advances but the key strategic town of Velyka Novosilka continues to be encircled with settlements on its western flank falling to RF forces.

Meanwhile Nasa Fire Map continues to show the fires moving progressively westward in Popasna, which is a good sign and confirmation that allied forces are in fact pushing out the AFU from the city. I say ‘allied forces’ specifically here because Popasna is said to have a combination of LPR troops, Chechens redirected from Mariupol, and Russian Wagner PMC forces operating concurrently.

France, by the way is now intending to send these artillery systems to Ukraine https://twitter.com/Global_Mil_Info/status/1517553156430962688

A few important words on tactics. We’ve spoke before about how the conflict in Ukraine is becoming Syrianized in the tactics of the AFU who, having most of their heavy weapons/armor destroyed, are mostly now relying on small bandit groups/DRG’s riding around on tacticals (small pickup trucks with larger caliber machine guns in the back) in the manner of ISIS. Like this:

But the hunter is fast becoming the hunted because Russia’s own saboteur groups are now increasingly ambushing these small, roving bandit teams:

Keep in mind, the AFU does have some armor and heavy weapons left, but most of them are tied to the strategically important cities they are defending, and they do not have the fuel or logistical capabilities to utilize their armor in any sort of maneuvering force action or real military operations/advances. They are hidden mostly in and around cities like Kharkov, Nikolayev, etc. Any armor that roams outward is very quickly destroyed by RF forces. And even still, in the urban agglomerations there is not a lot of it relatively speaking.

Another important point that must be made. In the early parts of the SMO, a big deal was made by Kiev around this mythical partisan mobilization that was set to take place. Glorious campaigns of patriotic partisan fighters were heralded in various posters and clips, Molotov cocktail campaigns were paraded on western news channels and we were told that every Ukrainian citizen would rise up against the Russian invader. Each day there was a new announcement, such as Zelensky’s bid to pay citizens tens of thousands $$$ of dollars (funded by the West / CIA of course) for anyone who can kill/capture a Russian soldier or demonstrably destroy a Russian tank or armored vehicle. Similarly, upwards of $1 million dollars was offered to Russian servicemen who would defect and turn over their tank or plane to the AFU.

Not only did any of this ever take place, in fact we saw last time that it was the AFU itself who began selling their tanks to the Russians for Rubles. But the main point to be made is that the giant, widespread partisan uprising was in fact a complete and utter failure. Not only is the vast majority of the Ukrainian citizenry utterly apathetic/ambivalent towards their own armed forces, but there are more and more signs of internal uprisings and new anti-Kiev regime partisan ‘underground cells’ being formed in cities like Nikolayev and Kharkov. One in Kharkov even released a video, their faces masked, promising an uprising against the AFU forces holding them hostage, once Russian forces begin fully taking the city.

Other footage like this continues to emerge:

Showing angry civilians booting out their failing AFU goons from their cities.

The truth is, the longer the conflict goes on, the more the Ukrainian citizenry turns against their own forces and government, not only because of mounting evidence of the AFU’s crimes against their own citizens/civilians but simply because they tire of the war and were never passionate about the utterly corrupt Zelensky regime and its criminal military forces anyway.

After the initial one or two Molotov videos against RF troops in the first week of the war, we never again saw any citizens attacking Russian troops and in fact see the opposite each day. Now whenever we see new Russian missile strikes filmed by Ukrainian citizens, it’s very often accompanied by a complete ambivalence or even quiet jubilation from the people filming.

It has to be recognized that the grand promised awakening of the Ukrainian state, and the large scale partisan uprising was a complete failure – just hollow psyop attempts from the Zelensky regime.

Now as allied forces grind down the AFU, each day the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense posts new claims of Russian losses which are never backed up with visual evidence. Here and there a photo of an empty tank is posted but never any bodies. Meanwhile, our side continues to show incontrovertible proof of massive, horrific losses on the AFU side in the new pushes. Here’s a few new videos. You can tell they’re recent because the AFU are wearing the new green armbands after they started switching from blue in many regions.

Very graphic (18+) https://www.bitchute.com/video/kVufOX6Z2vMd/ (includes a liquidated British mercenary)

We see repeated reports of entire units of the AFU being wiped out, and our side actually has the hard proof in the form of clear photos and videos. It’s clear that the AFU is losing thousands of troops a week. In fact yesterday’s report was over 400 killed just that day alone. There was 300+ killed a few days ago as well in the many strikes that occurred.

And these are just the dead, there are dozens of new prisoners every day. In the last day alone I can’t count the amount of new prisoner videos that are flooding telegram, mostly from the Popasna and Donbass fights. I’d estimate at least 100+ prisoners in the past two days based on the avalanche of new photos/videos.

On that note, one final thing. It’s become sadly obvious that the sheer propaganda from their own commanders is what’s keeping the rest of the AFU from laying down their arms. Here’s a report from a day ago:

“Since the beginning of the military operation and the appearance of Ukrainian prisoners, many of them tell how the Ukrainian command intimidated them with inhuman torture in Russian captivity. They were convinced that Russian officers would torture them, cut them with belts, burn them alive, etc. Having been taken prisoner, they were surprised at the humane attitude towards their miserable skins. However, there are cases when Ukrainian soldiers, believing in the stories of their commanders, try to commit suicide in order not to be captured by Russian “sadists”.”

And such a true story emerged yesterday when two new prisoners were captured, one of them said how their own commander shot himself in the head when the Russian forces approached. However this commander missed and the bullet went through his jaw – he survived and was treated in captivity. There’s a photo of him floating around, I’ll post if I can find it again.

“The photo shows a Ukrainian officer who was captured with his fighters in the area of ​​n. Staromayorskoe village (DPR). But he believed in the tales of his command about torture and decided to leave for another world quickly. He tried to shoot himself, putting the muzzle of his machine gun to his chin, but he chose the wrong trajectory – and the bullet went through the jaw. Now he has to be treated. But this suicide will now be able to make sure that the military-political leadership of Ukraine are liars and traitors.”

The irony is that the Ukrainians are terrified to surrender to the Russians because their command lies to them of the ‘barbarity’ of the Russians with claims they are brutally torturing and killing all captives, hiding the truth from them that it’s in fact their own side that’s doing that to Russian POWs. And the same tactic is used on civilians in besieged cities like Kharkov to keep them from rising up or evacuating. They shoot all civilians who try to leave then say it’s the Russians who are shooting all cars on the road.

I’ll leave with a few final videos. There’s been people constantly asking whether Russian forces have night time capabilities, nightvision, FLIR, etc, etc. Here’s some new videos showing Russian special forces taking out Ukrainian positions at night:

And lastly, I was made aware that last month India tested a Sukhoi launched Brahmos missile on one of their decommissioned Navy ships. Check the photos of the damage here:

https://i.postimg.cc/2SxHmkcL/FQ8cz-Aua-AAAPLzz.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/TP7CLkXR/FQ8cz-Ava-UAIt-V4c.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/QMxfd2w4/FQ8cz-Bba-IAE9u-K.jpg

It looks nothing like the minor fire damage we see on the Moskva from the portholes and torpedo tubes as I’ve outlined last time: https://i.postimg.cc/QCbBCyRm/FQl-Q5e-KXIAg-Or-AZ-2.jpg Yet it matches every other real missile hit like the USS Stark and other ships. Moskva is the odd-ball out that looks nothing like the others.

Sure the Brahmos is a larger missile, but Ukrainians claim multiple Neptunes hit the Moskva. Just more food for thought and further evidence that the Neptune strikes are unlikely as the cause of the Moskva’s sinking.

Banderastan Burning!

Ukraine’s so-called Democratic Revolution of Dignity, as it was billed in early 2014, turned out to be a devolution to misery 8 years later, led by neanderthals pretending to be leaders.

But how can people, whose heroes murdered hundreds of thousands of civilians in Volhyna in 1943-45 simply because they were a member of a particular ethnic group, be in any way democratic?

From discrimination against Russia-speakers and ordering their mass-scale killing, to allowing neo-Nazi freaks to parade around in their WW2 regalia, the ukrainian regime has compromised itself.

The so-called enlightened west, underwrote all this sordid activities and mayhem, praising the ukrainian monsters, corrupt to the hilt.

The illegal and undemocratic acts of the Poroshenko and Zelensky regimes havae finally resulted in an Russian armed operation to prevent ukraine from sliding deeper into the morass of backwardness and to end its military aspirations which threaten the security of Russia.

Vladimir Zelensky-US/EU puppet

 

Due to western patronage, ukraine has miscalculated its status and strength, and has punched far above its weight. As a result, it stands today on the verge of total defeat.

Putin has made his case for military intervention, and has been explaining Russia’s position and concerns for 15 years.

For years, the western media embedded itself in Russia, with its main aim being to peddle western propaganda and manipulate people with neo-liberal dogma and to change their ways of thinking to reflect the interests of the western oligarchy.

This was billed as promoting freedom of speech and a civil society in Russia, but now we see it all for what it really was-brainwashing. The western media operations in Russia sought to create the self-hating Russian; a Russian that rejected their culture and traditions, and was trained to think of Russia and Russians as inferior in every way, and that only in imitating the west, and taking orders and directives from western regimes in all spheres, especially economic, could the new westernized Russians be worth anything, and accepted in the so-called free world.

 

This is how the pro-US/western 5^th and 6h columns in Russia were formed after the collapse of the USSR. And many did not even know that they were being turned into those groups. It all happened in steady, subtle ways.

Many people have woken up by now, but some never will. The latter will have to be exorcised from society, somehow. Best for them to leave Russia, and saty in their beloved, degenerate west with its Russophobes and transgender freaks.

Russia’s response to western sanctions and malign activities should be reciprocal. Russia needs to fight fire with fire, and make it costly for the west to function.

The Western media’s incessant anti-Russian moron-a-thon has reached a fever pitch. Everyone is so aghast at Russia’s actions, and they are even convinced that it wants a nuclear war. Somehow, US and NATO rampages didn’t warrant such concern for the last 27 years. No one called for embargoes, cutting off trade, freezing of bank accounts, and allowing death threats to be legally promlugated online against US citizens.

Has any NATO member country that took part in he illegal war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan paid for these sins? Are any of those ex-leaders who willingly took part in that war of aggression in jail? Have they paid a price? Have their societies?

Until they do, none of them have any credibility, or right whatsoever to criticize Russia.

The US and its NATO minions provoked the Yugoslav wars. They tore Kosovo away from Serbia and turned it into an artificial country that never existed on the basis of made-up atrocity propaganda. The

And now they cry and whine about Crimea and Donbass, and Russia’s very limited operation in ukraine, aimed at simply compelling an irresponsible and rotten regime to do the sane thing?

Those Russophobe propagandists and their disciples have been spreading news all over the media and online that Russia is weak; that it’s forces are losing; that ukraine is winning; that Russian forces are running out of ammo, fuel and everything else; that they have serious losses. 

 

Ukrainian Losses

But this is just propaganda and projection, and is an accurate description of ukrainian fate. No serious military officer anywhere in the west believes that ukraine is winning. They all know ukraine stands no chance.

But the fiction of weak Russia must be maintained so as to soothe and mollify the desperate ukies and their foreign symapthizers. The question is, what will all these people do when the feel-good news turns out to be lies.

Will they go for broke and initiate a horrible false flag to blame Russians, so as to force NATO to get involved?

Another piece of information is that Russians said that they will take over ukraine in a week.

No one in the Russian government and military leadership ever said this. This is a line made-up by online personalities and bloggers.

All this nonsense about Russia weakness and looming defeat is caused by a misunderstanding of Russia’s aims in ukraine.

The Russophobes have been conditioned to think that the Russian aim in ukraine is to take over the country, occupy it, and install a puppet government.

But this is not true.

Russia’s aim, so far, is to put a minimal amount of pressure on the zelensky regime to agree to Russia’s terms, demilitarization, de-nazification, and to leave Crimea and Donbass alone.

The longer zelensky stalls, the more ground Russia will take, but it is in no hurry because it is not interested in total subjugation and destruction of ukraine; hence why Russia is careful not to attack cities and cause destruction.

This explains the slow Russian progress.

If this was an actual declared war in which the Russian aim was to invade, take over, occupy or absorb ukraine, then all diplomatic relations between Russia and ukraine, as well as Russia and other countries, would be cut - and they haven’t been.

Also Russia would either capture, kill, or force zelensky and his regime into exile, and setup a new government. Russia would not waste any time whatsoever talking to zelensky regime’s representatives.

Russia also would bring in a lot more forces, more formidable hardware and capabilities which would see Russia move swiftly throughout ukraine, obliterating much at lightning speed, even some cities.

But Russia is saving all that for a stronger adversary. There is no sense in fighting aging and inferior ukie hardware with top of the line weaponry when older stuff will do.

ukrainian 'heroes'

So those who see Russia’s willingness to negotiate with urkaine, and its limited military assets in ukraine as a sign of weakness or impending loss, are profoundly ignorant of reality.

Remember the US predictions of a cakewalk in ukraine. That actually did come from US regime officials at the time. And they proved themselves wrong.

For comparison, the US invasion of Iraq took 6 months of preparation, over 500K soldiers from various countries, and it took them 40 days to reach Baghdad. Iraq is smaller than ukraine and has a smaller population.

So when one compares these stats to Russian troop numbers and progress, Russian military has actually done quite well. And all the NATO generals and pentagoons know this, regardless of the western and ukie MSM psyops garbage about Russian weakness and losses.

Russia is not as strong, or as weak as it appears. It is a country that can surprise many.

But if the US and NATO want to ponder on military weaknesses and shortcomings, they can spend that time looking into the mirror. There’s a lot of that there. The Afghan failure is less than a year old at this point.

Much of the anti-Russian paranoia and frustration in the US, EU and NATO today comes from the fact that they have no real insight into Russian operations within its government and military. The western intel agencies have been flying blind since Putin cleaned house from top to bottom and removed many 5^th columnists and their ilk from positions of authority and access.

For the last 8 years, the post-maidan ukrainian regime has committed vile acts, war crimes, and mass terror against Russian-speaking population of the Dombass, and other minorities.

It allowed mentally unstable toxic nationalists to worm their way into the government, military and security services.

That this has been kept from the western media is no less than collusion is terrorism and genocide.

Russians on the other hand know quite well what has been going on in ukraine, and understand why Russia took the action it did. President Putin and the military operation enjoy over 70% support, even if it means economic problems.

Russia has no other choice but to prevail here, because this isn’t simply about urkaine.

This is about ushering in a new European security structure that will satisfy everyone’s security needs.

The US and its NATO vassals cannot, and will not get safety and security for themselves at the cost of the safety, security and independence of others.

If they think they can, then they are wrong. If Russia cannot feel secure and develop in peace, then Russia will not allow the EU and US to develop in security and peace.

The masks of western altruism and democracy has come off, and displayed the hypocritical, cynical, diseased creature behind it.

Russia has also taken off the kid-gloves, and will not listen to, or cooperate with the US and EU until those two hoodlums make important changes in the way they relate with the world.

For many years, Russia has been going along just to get along with the west, but the only response it has gotten was dishonesty, disrespect, indifference for its interests and concerns.

Russia tried to remedy this with presenting the US and NATO with voluntary and diplomatic ways to resolve these issues, but they refused.

Ukraine was also given a chance to resolve its issues with the LDPR, but refused to do so, is officials publicly announcing that the Minsk agreements were against its interests and plans; thereby breaking their word to implement them. Yet, neither France and Germany or any other EU nation held ukriane to account for this.

The US, EU and NATO have gotten themselves in a bind. The sanctions they recklessly passed against Russia are backfiring on them. Energy and fuel prices are going through the roof, as are prices of everything else.

This entire ukraine drama seems as if it was contrived by the US for is own reasons.

This is not a far-fetched suspicion when one looks at the events that preceded it.

1. In 2020, the police killing of George Floyd resulted in mass riots throughout the US. The Trump regime was losing control, and even US military was deployed to quell the chaos. This showed serious divisions within US society. US looked unstable and weak.

2. The covid pandemic caused even more economic and societal problems and losses.

3. In 2021, the US and NATO ran out of Afghanistan with their tails between their legs, and watched the Taliban take over Afghanistan, again, after 20 years of failure to subdue the movement. This was most likely the last straw for the US empire, and it was inevitable that it would seek some kind of retribution somewhere to re-establish its waning authority and power. Using ukraine as an anti-Russian battering ram to provoke a regional war was the plan.

4. The EU, being in even worse economic shape, with societal divisions, and growing antagonism between Brussels and certain member-states, also sees this US-instigated ukraine conflict as a great excuse to distract people from its bad policies, increased taxation, and growing economic misery.

Redirecting peoples’ ire toward Evil Putin and Evil Russia gets the lumpen proletariat off their shoulders, at least for a little while.

And now, not only will the US and NATO have to eventually agree to Russia’s security terms via ukraine, whether they like it or not, they are now facing the advent of a new economic and financial system separate from western banks and institutions, over which the US will have no power over, and therefore cannot use to sanction or block anyone. The dollar will also be phased out even quicker from other nations balance sheets, and replaced with another, commodities-based currency, most likely the Chinese Yuan, instead of smoke and mirrors of the rotten US federal reserve mafia.

But will the US, EU, and NATO go quietly into the night, or cause a world-wide conflagration in order to cling onto their waning, undeserved power?

Let’s hope there are still a few people left in that pathologically decrepit west worth talking to.

Means no more dollars for them. US loses. About time this 75 year-old fraud ended. Western organizations and rules were setup to benefit western nations, chiefly the US, at the expense of everyone else. It wasn't created to help anyone other countries, but to subordinate them. This is what people don't get. But perhaps now they will.

The US and EU have been creating their own separate institutions that are basically replacing existing international organizations designed to deal with things such as human rights, democracy, and supporting civil society.

But these separate US and EU-formed organizations aim to highjack the UN’s universal role, and put that power into the hands of separate, western-ran alternatives, which simply decide on vital issues according to their own internal interests.

International law, and the UN charter have been swept aside in favor of the rules-based order, which are US-written rules that benefit themselves, and reward those who go along with them.

The US is supporting ukraine, and sanctioning Russia to the hilt mainly to prevent any kind of settlement between Russia and Ukraine where Ukraine becomes militarily neutral and no longer seeks NATO membership. 

US is against such a scenario, because everyone knows that this would basically be a de facto end of NATO expansion East, with Russia not having to even negotiate with the US and NATO anymore, yet getting its security guarantees vis-a-vis ukraine. US and NATO would become militarily and strategically locked out of Ukraine, and beyond, indefinitely.

That’s why the US seeks to prolong this conflict as long as it can. It is exploiting EU vassal states to do is dirty work, and hyping up propaganda and disinformation to the max; although cracks are forming in its narrative and many so-called successes and atrocities supposedly committed by Russians are being bebunked.

Delusions and wishful thinking are rampant in the western MSM about a Chinese/Russian political split, alleged disagreements between Putin and Shoigu, about some kind of a coup being formed against Putin, about the Russia asking China for military help, about the Russian military being bogged down, running out of ammo, and tired; all this while Russians advance everyday and have virtually destroyed the ukrainian military.

But this is all made up to boost the flagging fortunes of the ukies and their western supporters,and to keep the fake narrative of fighting ukraine going, and making the morons think that any day now ukrainians will reach the gates of Moscow.

The ukrainians for 8 years paid no attention to the slaughter of people in the Donbass by ukrainian nationalist goon squads. Now, the rest of ukraine is getting a heaping dose of its own poison, and it doesn’t feel that good.

Nazi ideology can only fail, as it failed in 1945, and all its adherents will be destroyed. This is the only outcome awaiting them. The only soldiers parading in Red Square will be Russian soldiers celebrating their victory. Ukraine will have to face failure and loss. There is no way around it, but one: agree to Russia’s terms.

There is really no way for ukraine to prevail here. Russia is militarily and technologically superior, NATO cannot, and will not offer meaningful help, and whatever weapons and manpower makes it into ukraine will be quickly destroyed by Russian forces. Ukrainian units are surrounded and isolated. They are not being supplied, and running out of fuel; hence the large amount of abandoned ukrainian military vehicles. 

Russian soldiers with captured western weaponry

 

The west is in the process of kicking Russia out of certain institutions, but still expects Russia to follow their rules, and pay dues to these organizations. But Russia will no longer do so. Why should it, if it has been kicked out, and has no voice or vote in them?

Western solidarity isn’t guided by democratic principles, but by joint economic and financial self-interests.

This so-called concern about ukrainian migrants is also undoubtedly driven by Russophobia, and those who help ukrainians think they are sticking it to Putin and Russia.

Western concern for ukraine is fake, cynical, and two-faced.

Let’s hope that this conflict spells the end of western hegemony The entire world will be better off without it.

Western Monstrosity

Two weeks ago, Russia, after 8 years of Banderite banditry and violence unleashed upon Donbass, launched its special operation in Ukraine in order to demilitarize and de-nazify it.

This has been followed up with the most nauseating and nuttiest examples of western disinformation and propaganda. The headlines of US and its vassal states are constantly inundated with headlines about Russian forces committing all sorts of atrocious crimes and excesses.

Some accusations, like the most recent one which accused Russian forces of targeting a maternity hospital where some say Russian soldiers killed newborns, is a recycling of older propaganda peddled by the US regime during the run-up to the 1st Gulf War in Iraq; where Iraqi soldiers were said to have entered a hospital in Kuwait, dumped newborns out of the incubators and onto the ground, and taken the incubators back to Iraq as spoils.

The fact is, that the hospital the Russian forces bombed was taken over by nationalist banderite forces, and used as a firing [position. The mothers and newborns were long-gone.

Earlier propaganda talked about some imaginary ‘Ghost of Kiev,’ which was supposedly a urkainian pilot super hero who took out a lot of Russian aircraft.

After that, there was the Snake Island incident, where 13 ukrainian soldiers allegedly told the Russians to go fuck themselves when the latter told them to surrender. The Russians then bombed the base, killing all 13 soldiers.

But the fact was that the ukrainian soldiers, all 82 of them, surrendered after their security was guaranteed by the Russian side, and they were taken back to shore by the Russian vessel.

But how did all this come about?

Western MSM certainly has not been telling the truth here for the last 8 years, and most likely never will.

So let’s go through the list of why, and how ukraine, by its own words and deeds, found itself in this situation.

1. In 2014, a democratically-elected Ukrainian government is over thrown in a coup, with the help of the US and EU.

It seems no one in the US and EU has wrapped their heads around how messed up and serious this is. How can ukraine claim to be a democratic country by employing such violent and undemocratic means to change its leadership?

2. After the Maidan coup regime came into power, it immediately ordered be ukrainian army to suppress any areas which rebelled and refused to accept the illegal coup. This led to the Donetsk and Luganks regions in Eastern Ukraine to declare independence. Russia annexes Crimea after ukrainian nationalists declare war on Russian-speakers.

In the city of Odessa, anti-coup officials are locked in the House of Unions building by banderite thugs. The building is then set on fire, and anyone trying to escape is shot by the ukrainian nationalist gangs.

3. In order to calm down the situation, Ukraine eventually signed the Minsk accords at Russian, German, and French insistence, which obligated it to grant the breakaway regions mentioned above some degree of autonomy.

4. Dangerous banderite nationalist groups start repressing anyone who doesn’t buy their narrative. Journalists and opposition politicians are killed or disappeared. The west turned a blind eye to these excesses ever since.

5. The US starts supplying ukraine with weapons and training in order to turn ukraine into a tool to provoke Russia.

6. Ukraine pretends to follow Minsk agreement, but doesn’t implement any of its terms. It also passes discriminatory language laws that target minorities. EU refuses to hold it accountable, and the US encourages ukraine to militarize and ignore its obligations to the treaty. Ukrainians living in the East are subject to daily shelling by ukrainian army forces, leading to the death of 14,000 people, and over 150 children during the last 8 years.

7. NATO military aid aims to turn it into a future member, threatening Russian security. Russia puts forward two treaties with US and NATO that will guarantee Russian security by agreeing that NATO will not seek any new members in the East, and that ukraine will never be a NATO member, or a staging ground for any foreign bases and missile installations. US and NATO refuse these terms.

8. Ukraine masses over 100,000 troops in E. ukraine for a year, and readies fortifications. Russia sees this as preparation for an eventual attack on Donbass. Russia stages military readiness exercises in spring 2021, and then in early 2022.

9. Ukrainian Clown-in chief Zelensky, as well as other ukrainian regime officials, openly announce that they will not implement the Minsk accordsd because they go against ukraines interests, and their plans-whatever that means. Zelensky also announces at the Munich Security Conference earlier in 2022, that Ukraine may revive its nuclear weapons program. Germany and France refuse to hold ukraine to account for all this.

10. After 8 years of Russian warnings and concerns go ignored and unanswered, Russia declares recognition of the independence of the Donbass and Lugansk Peoples’ Republics, and sends in its forces to compel ukraine to make the changes Russia has been demanding for years.

Russian forces moved in, neutralizing virtually the entire ukrainian military.

Ukrainian forces either surrender, flee, or are killed. Only isolated pockets remain, without reinforcements. Ukraine’s naval and air power is non-existent. Foreign-provided weapons and mercenaries are taken out.

The US and their NATO vassals have been shrieking hysterically about Russia’s unprovoked act of aggression, and have passed sanctions on Russia.

They now are blaming Russia for a war in Europe for the first time since WW2.

But they sure have short memories, because it was the US and western European governments who in the 1990s did everything to start a war in Yugoslavia in order to break it up.

As for all western whining about Russia illegally recognizing the Donetsk and Lugansk republics, one can point to the Kosovo precedent, where the US and EU recognized it as a sovereign state in breach of all international law, thereby setting a precedent for the future.

And it seems everyone has suddenly forgotten the last 20 years of US military rampages in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and other countries, where the US created millions of corpses, refugees, and failed states.

Where are those Iraqi WMDs; you know, the ones the US used to justify a war?

And where were all the condemnations, sanctions, and blockades on the US when it invaded Iraq based on lies? Where was the sympathy for the Iraqis, the money collections, and moral outpouring of support?

And now the US and NATO dare to act self-righteous when it comes to Russia, as if all those crimes they committed never happened?

Russia's reasons for its military operation in ukraine are far more legitimate and justified than every war the US has been in since WW2 put together!

Because there cannot be one set of rules for the US and its vassals, and another set for everyone else.

And what about US recognition of Golan heights and Jerusalem as zionist land? This breaches international law.

If only these western turd-shiners treated ukraine's refusal to implement Minsk agreements seriously for the last 8 years, and held ukraine accountable, this situation would not have happened.

What we have today is nauseating and hypocritical bleating from the USA, EU and NATO sheep about how horrified they are about Russia's attack on ukraine. Go look in the mirror, assholes!

What is odd is why did zelensky, knowing the risks, not start negotiating with the LPR and DPR? Why did he allow for things to go this far when he could've stopped it diplomatically? Russian military op was not a given. It was Russia’s Plan B.

Zelensky is a saboteur who threw his own country under the bus. And it is certain that someone forced him, or paid him to do this. This jerk was most likely offered safe haven somewhere overseas and a pension for playing the role leader-in-exile. So what does he care?

And there are undoubtedly a lot of ukrainians who are pissed off at him about this.

For Russia, security is paramount. It cannot develop when it is being surrounded by a hostile alliance. That’s why stopping this threat is worth whatever inconveniences any western sanctions and other temper tantrums may bring.

These sanctions will also hurt the US and EU. The sanctions also take the handcuffs off of Russia’s hands, and its government and people are free to engage in diplomacy and business on their own terms, instead of being beholden to western institutions and clubs, which only hampered and prevented Russia from pursuing its own best interests.


How would the US feel, if, say, Russia and China funded and provoked a violent coup in Mexico or Canada, put a pro-Russian/Chinese government in power, and then moved to flood those countries with Russian/Chinese weaponry, soldiers, bases, and advisors? Would US security not be threatened?

Russian forces recently published evidence of bio-labs in ukraine financed by the US dept of defense, where all sorts of viruses and pathogens were kept and studied, including coronaviruses to be carried by birds and bats. A US company affiliated with Hunter Biden financed the creation of these labs.

What are those labs doing there?

It is clear they were there to aid in a biological weapons program for the US, which skirts US obligations to the chemical and biological weapons convention.

Russian forces have also seized documents which prove that Kiev was planning to launch an offensive in E. Eukraine by March of 2022.

It is clear that ukraine since 2014, has become an ever-increasing danger to the safety and security of Russia, surrounding countries, and to ukrainians themselves. Allowing a violent, undemocratic coup to take place, for neo-nazi gangs to call the shots in the government, flooding the country with foreign weaponry, provoking ethnic unrest, hosting bio-labs, flaunting international and humanitarian law, and committing war crimes in the Donbass have all shown ukraine to be a miserable failed state.

This entire drama was contrived by the callous and disgusting NATO and its US leaders. They don't give a squat about ukrainians, and they never did. NATO is a brain tumor in the EU’s collective mind.

If the US and EU really cared about ukrainians, they would not use their country to provoke a conflict against Russia, and would not pour more flame onto the fire by sending weapons and mercenaries into ukraine.

The aim of all this was to weaken Russia so the US and EU can them move on to China. But this won’t work.

Putin stopped the US racket in Syria, and now he is stopping the US racket in Ukraine.

Russia is now gifting the EU with many Banderite refugees, who are Trojan Horses, which do not like its hosts. If these people are allowed in and not vetted, then they may cause problems some years later, and even have separatist aims. Letting ukrainian banderites into Poland is like letting in foxes into a hen house.

The EU paid for it, it now owns it.

What we are seeing is a new era dawning, an era where Russia will no longer be bound to western institutions and their rules.

Now that Russia has total freedom to implement whatever changes it needs and wants, those western sanctions will fizzle out and become ineffective.

Russia will be a more resilient country, and will re-establish sovereignty over its affairs that it hasn’t had since the Soviet period. It will now compete with the west, not cooperate.

And Russia has much to offer other countries. It will establish new economic and political relationship, reorient its markets, and in the end the EU and US will end up having to crawl back to it.

Russia has prepared for these eventualities we are seeing right now. In fact, Russia prepared for even worse than this.

The degrading treatment being meted out to Russians, including the western social media’s lifting of bans to allow the preaching of violence, hatred,and death threats against Russian government and military figures; but let’s not kid ourselves, it will also be applied to Russian civilians as well.

In this way, the US and EU have alienated many Russians, and have exposed how they really feel about Russia and Russians. Russians everywhere will remember this.

EU’s flowery speech about promoting peace means peace for EU members only. Everyone else is outside of consideration, if they refuse to toe the EU and US line. This is the kind of relationship that the west wants wit Russia; where Russia is an obedient, subordinate appendage of the west, without sovereignty and power over its own affairs.

After the US and NATO's sordid and violent behavior in he past decades, neither one has the right or the credibility to condemn Russia, or anyone else when it comes to waging war. Neither the US or NATO have been redeemed here in any way, and they never will be. Such is the nature of monsters.

Russia is only an enemy to those who mean it ill-will. US and EU want Russia as an enemy, so it shall be an enemy.

But they better be careful what they wish for.

Provocations

The US, backed into a corner by a frank and honest Russian assessment of the situation, has started to lash out with threats of sanctions as a desperate cop-out from having to actually discuss and address any of Russia's concerns like an adult, and engage in a conversation that has been 30 years delayed.

What Russia has done with its troop deployments, was call out ukraine over its planned attempt to invade Donbass with US and UK connivance, in violation of the Minsk agreement. Russia has managed to scare these bastards off twice now, and that's why they're flipping out.

Reading between the lines of US and UK sanctions threats against Russia, we can see what they are really saying: If Russia dares to confront Ukrainian forces when they attack Donbass, we will sanction Russia.

And why is the US so obsessed with Ukraine? Is this entire quarrel really about ukraine? Or is this US paranoia about something else, something that is kept out of the public? Did Russia threaten to expose some very damning information that will cause the US and others serious problems, and even the collapse of many western governments? Did Russia do something out of public view that has caused the US much loss that we don't know about?

After all, who would want to risk their life and existence for ukraine?

But Russia isn't expecting the US to agree its concerns. The US didn't even address NATO expansion at all when replying to Russia's concerns. 

The US will never honor a treaty that isn't full of holes, or one from which it cannot wiggle out of later on when it no longer feels like complying.

The US and its pals always try to get something for nothing, regardless of who they talk to. They don't want to negotiate. They want to dictate. And if someone refuses to roll over, they throw temper tantrums and start accusing you of something.

In any deal, the US will always demand something tangible from someone else right now, in return for something hypothetical later on from themselves.

For two decades, Russia prioritized relations with the west, instead of trying to build up the organizations and partnerships it has in the East, like CSTO. As a result, those partnerships did not progress forward as much as they would’ve, if Russia cultivated those who were already close and wanted to cooperate. But now, Russia has realized that it wasted its time trying to be nice and accommodating toward the west. Hopefully, Russia will take these old partnerships to the next level.

What theater this entire ukrainian situation is. At worst, Putin is just messing with these US and NATO morons, and they are taking it all too seriously. US and NATO have become true believers in their own propaganda, like the drug dealer who starts getting high off their own supply.

ukraine has started to act like the hopeless, Russophobic Poles next door.

Problem with the Poles is that they make a lot of noise when they should be calm, and are calm when they should be making a lot of noise. Lots of wasted energy, and missed opportunities. This is the history of Poland in a nutshell. If these people aren’t dying on the battlefield for someone else, they can’t live! Ukrainians seem to be acting the same way now.

They are all too happy and willing to sacrifice themselves for the greasy interests of Anglo-Saxon criminals in the US and UK.

These US and NATO morons are continuously bragging about how much weapons, advisors, and training they are giving ukraine, but they did the same in Afghanistan on a much greater scale. This was accompanied by iron-clad promises that the US and NATO will stand with the Afghan people and will ensure their freedom and turn Afghanisan in a budding democracy. And how did all that assistance work out? It ended in waste and failure.

And all those foolish ukrainians who do not accept any comparisons between Afghanistan and ukraine, and insist that it will be different for them, are only deluding themselves. ukraine will be abandoned when it becomes too inconvenient for the US, or when it has served its purpose.

US and UK will sanction Russia whether it invades ukraine or not

Now, the US and UK are threatening sanctions on Russian oligarchs.

But the UK and US don't want to punish the Russian oligarchs who stole money and fled to London or the US. No, those oligarchs will be exempt from any punishment. They want to target only those in Russia.

Besides, doing so will actually be doing Putin a favor, as he found oligarchs inconvenient and has already whittled away much of their former power. These US and UK morons operate on the delusion that Putin is controlled by oligarchs and that he cannot exist without them. They will be unpleasantly surprised, if they think this.

The west has become the victim of its own stupid propaganda. Their entire assessment and warped view of Putin as some unrepentant KGB tyrant who steals billions from the public and wants to revive the USSR by war and violence is atrociously insane.

The people who peddle this trash need serious mental help. They don't even have one ounce of legit proof for anything they say about President Putin. They are lying, and they know it.

If kiev keeps on acting dumb, Russian gas will stop flowing through ukraine sooner than it will through NS2. These cheap ukrainian thugs want western help, money and weapons, sanction Russia, and kill NS2, but want to keep Russian gas flowing through ukraine? Only a depraved criminal enterprise makes such demands.

But if NATO is so concerned about its own members' security, then why do they insist on expanding NATO, which only causes more tension? Why do they pump weapons into ukraine and goad urkainians into ignoring the Minsk accords, and targeting ethnic Russians living in Donbass?

And recently, ukraine's retarded Minister of Defense has publicly stated that carrying out the Minsk agreement would destroy ukraine.

Yes, ukraine is now a modern-day incarnation of George Orwell's novel 1984, where war is peace, and peace is war. In this situation, Russia, Germany and France need to reprimand ukraine for its unwillingness to carry out is responsibilities.

If the US and NATO truly want security and peace, they will agree to Russia's very reasonable terms.

They cannot have security for themselves while maligning others.

If the US and NATO refuse to address Russia's legitimate concerns, then Russia will respond in a reciprocal manner, and no amount of fearmongering about imaginary Russian invasions, paranoid threats, and cheap, ad hoc kievan propaganda stunts will help them.

And what do the US, NATO and ukraine hope to accomplish here? 

The EU and NATO members are divided about participating in any kind of wars, and it is foolish to think that countries such as, say, Portugal or Greece would go to fight a war for ukraine, a country that is far away and with which they have little to do with, against a nuclear-armed Russia. 

All this anti-Russian paranoia is exposing the weakness and loss of power of the US, EU and NATO. It also shows the consternation and anxiety they are undergoing as a result of their losses. They are all having an existential crisis of some sort.

It doesn't help that the US is ruled by incompetent mediocrities; like Biden, who can't even remember the names of his cabinet officials; Blinken, who is way out of his depth here, and the odious neo-con oddity Victoria Nuland, whose world-view is not only dangerous, but has failed everywhere it was applied. 

And then there are the willfully-ignorant governments in Europe, which instead of remembering, and learning from their war-ridden pasts and trying to tone down the unnecessary and fake anti-Russian hysteria, go along with the morons in the US and UK - a country whose insidious establishment has been fomenting unrest and chaos in Europe and elsewhere for profit for centuries, and is the brain behind the scenes in the sick and sad ukrainian drama.

The west better get their act together. Sanctions on Russia have not worked, and aren't going to work. And any further sanctions will backfire on the EU and US to a degree they haven't seen before.

Russia has thrown down the gauntlet, and has shown them a sane and civilized way forward.

Will the kids listen?

The Beginning of the End

The level of tension between Russia and US/NATO has reached its climax.

30 years of western arrogance and stupidity is coming to an end before our eyes. The time of reckoning is at hand.

This was accelerated during the last 5 months due to the US/NATO debacle in Afghanistan, and it was a given that these two loser misfits would try something to shore up their bruised egos.

So we have this timeline:

1. US fails in Afghanistan

2. Increasing discontent and division within the EU between member-states and Brussels

3. Australia signs deal with US for submarines, instead of France, and giving the latter no notice of its decision. This leads to a fallout between US and France

4. US and Ukraine mention Russian troop movements near ukrainian border, but dismiss it as not significant and nothing to worry about

5. CIA chief goes to Moscow for talks

6. Suddenly, Kiev and US change their minds and announce that Russian troops are a serious threat to Ukraine, and that Russia is planning to invade ukraine

It seems like the US didn't get what it wanted in Moscow, and decided to make up the Russian invasion lie to extract concessions.

But If the US regime thinks it will get anything out of this, then it is stupid. They know taking on Russia is a no-no, and ukraine doesn't stand a chance.

The dimwitted US regime and the feckless EU are accusing Russia of wanting to create spheres of influence.

So what the fuck is NATO, then, and the EU, if not spheres of western influence?

Russia has offered both the US and NATO an agreement that addresses Russia’s security concerns, and other problems that it has with them both. One of the main demands is that NATO stop further Eastward expansion, and agree not to admit Ukraine and Georgia into the alliance.

US and NATO refuse to rule out a stop on further NATO expansion. They say that countries have a right to decide independently whether to join NATO or not. They say that NATO has an open door policy. But when Russia asked to join, on multiple occasions in the past, it was always turned down.

But does that door only open one way, or are countries also free to leave, or is it more like joining the mafia-where you can join, but never leave, at least not alive?

Because from what can be seen, if any country freely chooses someone else instead of the US, NATO and EU, that country is immediately sanctioned, robbed, maligned, threatened, and more often than not bombed and invaded by these three.

So contrary to flowery NATO propaganda, there is no free choice. For the US and NATO, only those countries who choose them have rights. Those countries that choose others will be punished.

However, Russia doesn’t need to do much militarily to prevent NATO from expanding. It just needs to do what it did in Kazakhstan, prevent western-led coups within the CSTO framework.

The US in reality drags countries into NATO by hook, crook, regime change or murder. Countries bordering Russia don’t need NATO membership. NATO needs them to be used against Russia. US can only get them to join if a pro-US government is in place, and that is why the US must first orchestrate a color revolution of some kind to install a pro-US government, if there isn’t one there already.

If these color revolutions and regime changes are nipped in the bud at their inception, US will not get new NATO members. So Russia’s task isn’t really that difficult.

After less than a week, Russia, along with other CSTO members, was able to end the mayhem in Kazakhstan.

With the job done, Russia and other foreign troops left Kazakhstan. Compare that with the US military, which tends to stay around indefinitely after helping.

It is unfortunate that Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovich didn’t ask CSTO for help in 2013, and Putin didn’t suggest it. Maidan would’ve been quickly nipped in the bud, since it was just as flimsy at the beginning as the recent coup attempt in Kazakhstan was.

What US and NATO don't seem to understand is that it is not up to them whether they will expand anymore. If they don't agree not to expand East voluntarily and diplomatically, they will be stopped by Russia in some way.

Russia is giving them a chance to correct their errors peacefully. If the US and NATO refuse Russia’s offer, they will be compelled to comply in other ways. Either way, NATO expansion will be stopped, and the process has already started.

The reason why Russia wants all of its demands to be met by both US and NATO this time, is to prevent the US from cheating and finding loopholes for its own benefit.

For example, if Russia agrees to disarm, the US will simply stop arming itself, but will keep on arming its vassals and clients, like Ukraine. That’s why Russia wants no further NATO expansion, and no arming of ex-Soviet states. It is why it wants separate agreements with the US and NATO this time.

Russia has put forward its demands in an open, detailed format. By doing so, it is compelling the US and NATO to come clean about their own true intentions and aims. This has made the US and NATO officials quite nervous, as coming clean about these would expose them as disturbed psychopaths.

Putin has got the US/EU/NATO by the stones, and they have no way to go but backwards. All three have run up against a concrete wall in the East.

They know Russia’s demands are long-over due and reasonable. But fearing for their jobs and mass profits, the military contractors, weapons makers, the dime-a-dozen US and NATO generals, and their army of paid think tanks, NGOs, institutes, bought-off politicians, media outlets and online trolls would be without a job and without profits. NATO is, above all, a weapons-selling racket.

NATO Secretary Stoltenberg the drunk, along with US Secretary of State Blinken the Deluded, have also been going around lately foaming at the mouth that Putin wants to restore the Soviet Union, and keep on repeating their stale false accusation that Russia is planning to invade Ukraine at any moment.

It is the US and NATO that want Russia to invade Ukraine. It is the US and NATO that want the Soviet Union back. Their words and actions hint at this.

Ukraine seems to be virtually begging for Russia to invade it, so it can play victim and extract concessions.

Blinken also said that once Russians come into any country, they btend to stay. But Blinken needs to look himself in the mirror.

What are US troops still doing in Germany, almost 80 years after the end of WW2? What are US troops doing in Syria, uninvited? What are US troops doing in Iraq after being told to leave multiple times?

After the USSR ended, NATO found itself without a mission, and its existence was questionable. It meandered from here to there, trying to find something to justify its unnecessary, and expensive existence. It got itself involved in stirring up war in Yugoslavia in the 1990s, then came in to play hero saviour. But this was all too brief.

Then, it struck the taxpayer-provided jackpot when it crossed paths with the Islamic terrorism boogeyman to justify its existence, and for 20 years it rode the Afghan occupation gravy train.

Then came the inevitable and ingominious end to the Afghan blood orgy, and NATO once again had nothing to do; not to mention its image and credibility were shot to shit.

So what did it do? it decided to stir up the old anti-Russia propaganda, lies, and false accusations to re-create and resurrect its old adversary, which doesn’t even feel like playing its part.

How is it that the only countries that consider Russia as an enemy are those who drank the US/NATO kool-aid? How is it that those central Asian republics and Armenia which used to be part of the USSR don't seem to be threatened by Russia, along with Serbia and Hungary? So obviously, Russia isn't the problem here.

The US and NATO want to force upon countries bordering Russia and beyond the notion that Russia is a dangerous threat and an enemy, and that they must stand with the US and NATO.

Countries which have good relations with Russia are being forced into becoming anti-Russian by the US/NATO cabal, and are being used to malign Russia in all sorts of ways.

This only undermines these countries security in the long-run.

Vicky Nuland, the Jewish neo-con hag behind the Maidan coup in Ukraine, has recently said that Russia should spend its money on internal development instead of sending its soldiers out in the snow to invade others.

What she said about Russia applies perfectly to the US. Instead of spending money on regime changes, invasions, supporting terrorists, arming ukrainian thugs, piracy and theft, and sending US soldiers out in the sand, the US needs to fix its rickety infrastructure, quit dumbing down its educational system, and slap together a healthcare system that is on a civilized level. Oh, and fix its fraudulent and antiquated electoral system.

The entire former NSDAP leadership of Nazi Germany is responsible for not gassing Vicky’s grandparents. Now, the world is stuck with this ugly juden untermenschen hag.

Unlike the US, Russia doesn't seem to be dragging others along into its fights. The US does so because legally, logically, and morally, the US has no legs to stand on anymore, and needs the psychological validation from others to compensate, even if the others have to be bribed and regime-changed to serve as the USA’s cripple crutches.

But the current tensions aren’t really about ukraine.

US has wanted a proxy war in E. Europe for some years now. The first attempt in 2016 was averted thanks to a surprise Chinese delegation's visit to Poland.

US needs a war to wear down Russia and compel it to relent, and go against China. This is geopolitics. US needs China disassembled, or else the US is done, along with all its European vassal states. This is what it's all about.

Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan, even Russia, are simply stepping stones and means to an end for NATO toward that ultimate aim. US won't succeed, though. Because from now on, whatever it tries to do to hurt Russia and China, will boomerang on it.

Ukraine better realize that it is being cynially used by the US.

If, say, tomorrow, Putin wakes up and decides to give in to US demands and do what they want, the US would kick ukraine to the side in half a blink.

Let’s remember that the US and NATO fled Afghanistan in fear, shame, and failure. So the damage is already done. No one will notice, nor care when ukraine is kicked into the geopolitical ditch.

When it comes to US interests, nothing, and no one is sacred. US has no real loyalties to these marginal NATO members and poor client states.

As for ukraine, it wanted independence, but after it got it, it didn't know what to do with it. It couldn’t move on due to internal political gridlock and ineptitude.

After 23 years of mismanagement and inability to get its shit together, ukrainian malcontents blamed Russia for all their problems, and surrendered to the west.

But doing so wasn't the answer. If ukrainians cannot help themselves, then no one else will. If they are counting on someone else to resolve their problems, then they are making a risky gamble because others will always exploit them. Ask the Poles. They are experiencing this sad reality to this day.

Ukraine has got to stand on its own two feet without foreign crutches, and take responsibility for its own decisions and judgment, and learn how to function independently. They have a lot of work to do, and haven't even started.

They've been fumbling around, stalling, and engaging in immature, futile, petty and destructive activities that have done them zero good up to this point.

Ukraine’s anti-Russian temper tantrums also have to do with more local issues.

The euphoria of the Maidan rebellion has fizzled out, and ukraine is in a worse state today than it was 20 years ago.

Ukrainian president Zelensky’s popularity is so low, he has stooped down to bribing government officials with $20K monthly payments for their continued support. He has locked up and arrested any opposition leaders, including members of his own party, and has even threatened ex-president Porky.

Ukraine is also worried that Russia will cut off gas transit to the EU through its territory after 2024, which will result in billions of dollars in losses for Kiev. So ukraine, along with the US, has been trying to stop the Nord Stream 2 pipeline built by Russian company Gazprom and other EU energy companies from commencing operation, since this pipeline would bypass ukraine. US has slapped the project with sanctions to prevent it from operating.

This has helped lead to an acute energy shortage in the EU, for which Russia has been blamed.

Ironically, while EU and US blame Russia for not supplying gas to the EU and causing prices to rise, the US and certain EU countries, along with ukraine, have been blocking the operation of NS2 pipeline, which would’ve brought more gas into the EU, thereby alleviating supply issues and lowering prices. Hypocrisy seems to be the foundation of western culture.

What the US, ukraine, and EU really want is for Russia to sell them gas at long-term contract discount rate prices without the long-term contracts, so these two can then re-sell it on their spot markets for 5x the price.

Russia has said nyet, and if the EU wants a discount it will need to sign long-term contracts. Otherwise it's market price for everyone. The US, EU and UK bankster vultures aren't happy. Poland and ukraine seem to be in on this scam, and were probably promised a cut of the profits since they have been serving as transit countries for Russian gas. So preventing the operation of NS2 is a must for these two, because NS2 would lower gas prices, and make the entire scheme not as valuable.

The looney US regime statements about Russia actually betray their fear and loss of control. They are also saying that US will not help ukraine should Russia invade. What the US is doing here is the equivalent of a snake puffing up when it feels threatened. It is theater, as they know very well Russia will not invade ukraine unless ukraine pulls the trigger first.

NATO Secretary Stoltenberg says that Russian concerns about ukraine are exaggerated because ukraine is not a threat to Russia.

This is partly true. By itself, ukraine is no threat and no match for Russia militarily.

But when ukraine allows US and other NATO troops on its soil, and is being armed by them, then that is a problem. How disingenuous Stoltenberg is!

Without NATO, this pathetic sack of bones Stoltenberg would not have a job. So self-interest has prevailed over sense and pragmatism here. Stoltenberg is justifying his career by engaging in shoddy comparisons and logic. And he cannot say nothing else. He’s under orders to promote NATO propaganda, after all.

The US says it won the cold war, yet things got worse. So it is because of the US backward thinking that we will remain stuck in a crisis not just over Ukraine but about the future of the global order far beyond that country’s borders. The US failed to remake the world into something better. It got arrogant, greedy, and in the end, stupid.

The Russian invasion threat is hyped up sensationalist garbage peddled by the US and British press mainly. They have their own creepy agendas, and want to incite hatred and tension as a cover for their interests. How can so many ukrainians not notice this?

Can't they see that the US and NATO are the ones undermining their security? Ukrainians need to send these maidan morons packing. US and NATO don't care about ukraine. If they did, they'd be encouraging it to act responsibly, carry out Minsk accords, and not instigate anything with Russia.

All Russia wants is for its neighbors to not threaten it, and all foreign armies that don't belong in the area to get out and stay out.

But if anyone thinks a war with Russia is winnable, then they better think again.

Russian military capabilities are serious. Anyone who has the time and courage to delve into the details of what they are, will not want to tango with them. And all the NATO shills and pentagoons know this very well.

So this is all theater designed to wipe off the stink of failure from NATOs uniform after its recent Afghan failure.

No one should buy NATO and US BS statements about Russia, and their acting tough on TV. It's a side-show for the dumbasses, and panacea to mollify the MIC that the money will keep on coming in somehow.

As if the US didn’t cause enough trouble for itself by bothering Russia, it has been maligning China using the same old script it has been using against Russia.

Accusations of genocide in Xinxiang province, and China’s supposed intent to invade Taiwan is a carbon copy of the US and NATO playbook against Russia regarding ukraine.

US has also been trying to cobble together an anti-Chinese coalition of Asian states, but that hasn’t been going well.

India, the crown jewel of that coalition, has recently signed a 30-year military cooperation deal with Russia.

So none of these worthless initiatives, and the billions thrown at them, are going to successfully counter China. These programs are just designed to keep on feeding the MIC after their Afghan gravy train derailed. Part of this is to bribe Asian countries to join an anti-Chinese alliance, just like that European initiative was basically the US bribing European governments into joining an anti-Russia alliance.

That’s why conflating US mentality and behavior with China’s will not do anyone who does so any good. Ignorance of Russia and China is the main cause of why the west is losing out to both of them.

Besides, the only place where the US can win a war against Russia and China these days is in a movie or in a video game.

What we are seeing today is the beginning of the end of US monopolization of financial, military and technological power. So it is not surprising that the US regime, and its EU/NATO dingleberry cling-ons are freaking out. They're scared to death of what will happen to them once their patron saint from across the ocean is crucified for its sins.

If the US fails, it will fail because of its own mistakes, and not because of anything China and Russia did, or did not do.

China is ultimately interested in a win-win situation based on compromise, including with the US.

But the US isn't interested in cooperation, but domination. The Chinese have been watching the US quietly and patiently for a long time, and know the mistakes the US has made, and where and how it made them. So China knows what NOT to do. But China also knows what to do to hit back, should the US cross its red lines.

It is evident by now that the US is the opposite of what it says it is.

The way US propaganda peddlers operate is that they will take 10% fact, and mix it with 90% B.S., and some people will believe it all just because 10% of it is factual.

US and EU don't care about human rights, free speech, freedom of the press, democracy or free elections. The evidence for this is so plentiful you have to be a total and complete retard not to see it.

These same people who are so fond of democracy, also enthusiastically submit to unelected and corrupt hierarchies like the church, and militarist organizations like NATO.

They cheer on Zionist ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, and Saudi massacres of Yemeni civilians.

But the US reign of terror is coming to an end, whether its fanboyz and girlz like it or not.

Russia has put its foot down, finally. US and NATO will have to beat a hasty retreat away from the Russian border eventually.

After years of being lied to, conned, and insulted, Russia has learned all US tricks, and isn’t having any of it anymore.

US and NATO only cause problems. Calling on them is like summoning a demon to help you out.
