The Empire can’t do anything right recently—NATO, MI6, the CIA, and of course, their Nazi gang in Kiev could turn gold to shit just by looking at it.
One way or another, they are making things easier for the Russians to achieve their various goals— not just in the Ukraine—but at home rebuilding Russia as a nation— and abroad establishing a new multipolar world order, a kind of international democracy governed by law and reason.
Ukraine is just a linchpin— albeit an important one— keeping in mind that its Nazis are proxies for the West and everything they do is indicative of imperial decay. The difference between Ukrainian Nazis and Westerners is not so much ideology but really just the tattoos.
Western Ukraine’s mistakes amount to uicidal “self-demilitarization” and makes things so much easier for the Russians.
Take the failed offensive in Kherson, where the Ukrainians came out of their “Maginot Grid” hideaways in the woods and townships to attack across an open steppe without air cover.
Then came Kharkov where the UAF assembled an army to attack towns and villages which the RF had mostly left invitingly with skeleton defenses. Once again, the UAF had to venture out in the open, exposing their forces to attack from the air and taking casualties from Russian artillery and aviation, who minimized their own losses by avoiding battlefield combat. Not only hapless Ukrainian conscripts died but NATO mercenaries operating the UAF’s newly acquired but unfamiliar equipment. A victory like Gallipoli.
The Kharkov offensive allowed the Russians to redeploy to more strategic positions in the South while at the same time conducting referenda to include former Ukrainian oblasts responsible for up to 90% of the country’s GDP in the Russian Federation.
People sometimes forget that Western Ukraine is poor and it was always Eastern Ukraine that drove the economy, responsible some say for as much as 90% of the GDP.
This war began therefore as a civil war with economic roots.
Money and resources matter.
In Germany, the Nazis didn’t like the Jews because they had money and were productive. In Ukraine, Galician-Ruthenian Western Ukraianian Nazis didn’t like ethnic Russians for the same reasons. Envy. Greed. The Seven Deadly Sins.
Solution? Kill them all.
The Nazis coveted Russia’s resources. Now it is the US’s turn. Behind every war is Greed. But the Nazis failed in their war and the US will in theirs.
If people often ignore the economic basis of war, it is often because the media teach them Western Wars are ‘just wars” defending “democracy” against “autocracy”. That has never been the case. At the star of WWI, The Kaiser’s Germany was in many respects arguabley more democratic than the UK, certainly not less than the US.
Today, the Western media usually protray Russia as an “autocracy” and Putin as a dictator But it is instead a vibrant democarcy with an active and opinionated electorate. Its democracy is more recent than most others,but also hard-won, and Russians value their principles.
The Ukraine, of course, is not a democracy at all.
The referenda, now passed—democratically— allow the Federation to legally deploy Russian regulars for combat instead of contract soldiers, tripling, perhaps quadrupling firepower. Each new attack by the West energizes the Russian people.
The attack on Nordstream II, apparently orchestrated by the British, helped build lalready burgeoning support at home in Russia.
Of course, it did the reverse in Europe — — underminiing support for elected governments there with the threat of a very cold winter, if not economic, social and political disaster.
Reading the signs, European companies such as BMW are relocating factories to China as well as to other countries in Asia, in what is increasingly a Chinese sphere of influence. The East rises as the West falls —just as happened with Rome—whose Empire relocated to Asia.
Sadly, the Americans believe their own bullshit.
For example, the Empire claims the Russians sabotaged their own pipelines.
But this story line—that the Russians just like to hurt themselves — wins yet another Propaganda Raspberry Award for the not-so-creative Teams in London and Washington.
Previous awards were for things like stories of Russian atrocities against their own people in the Donbass and Lugansk and, of course, in Bucha where the dead mostly had white armbands, indicating Russian sympathizers.
Then there were the Russian strikes on the Russian held nuclear plant in Zaporozhe. Why waste an expensive missile when you could just set off some dynamite and blame Ukie sabotage? Because Russians are EVIL, of course!
If this were a TV series, it would be cancelled after the first two episodes.
Audiences are forgiving of plot holes only if the CGG are good and there’s lots of blood . Kiev is trying to supply that. Still, interest is waning fast. Same old, same old.
The fact that this series has not been cancelled is simply that the Sponsors are the US and UK governments.
Still, ordinary people increasingly notice discrepancies—-maybe because they are so many.
The Western news will tell you that the Kiev are successfully shooting down Russian drones and missiles over their cities. leaving out the many civilian casualties from AA debris . What goes up, must come down.
Most recently they claimed to have shot down all but 5 missiles in one attack. Then they moaned about 18 or more destroyed power facilities. OK, so the New York time’s editors failed second grade math. But Joe Doe, helping his kid do homework, likely not.
And “success” does not mean a.) protecting vital infrastructure b.) protecing civilian life from “friendly fire”.
