The systemic crisis which we are currently witnessing in the West (and in other parts of the world that are too tightly interconnected with the West to avoid experiencing it as well) is objectively being caused by the West itself. But Westerners, being unaccustomed to acknowledging their mistakes (being all superior, indispensable and infallible-like in their own addled minds), are forced to resort to explaining away their epic failures in virtually every sphere by blaming it all on Putin. That is, they don’t even blame Russia in general, but blame Putin personally; after all, Russia can be good and agreeable at times (as it was under Gorbachev and Yeltsin) but Putin makes it misbehave. That’s why it’s all got to be Putin’s fault.
Here’s what it’s come to: an entire President of the United States (or whoever runs his teleprompter), who, in the course of his election campaign, swore up and down that he will take responsibility for whatever happens under his command, now blames “Putin’s Price Hike” so regularly and monotonously that the phrase has become a meme.
By now the narrative of “it’s all Putin’s fault” has spread to encompass all of the more sensitive problems: inflation, fuel prices, food price hikes and even… shortages of baby formula! It turns out that the shortages aren’t caused by the discovery of dangerous bacteria in the products of a monopoly producer but by shortages of imported sunflower oil from… the Ukraine. That’s according to the Wall Street Journal, no less! The logical steps needed to make it all Putin’s fault are then obvious: the shortages are because of the war and the war is Putin’s fault.
This wonderful strategy works just fine for the short term, but it has a major vulnerability in the longer term because of a certain mechanism of mass psychology. Superficially, it is simple and seemingly bulletproof: Putin is irrational; he has imperial ambitions, suffers from paranoia, delusions of grandeur, is obsessed with restoring the USSR… Since his motives are irrational, they cannot be dealt with through rational means such as negotiation, diplomacy, compromise and so on. Putin is a crazy dictator with lots of nuclear missiles and so all we can do is suffer. This construct seems good enough for most purposes, such as explaining away social problems, economic issues and failures of leadership. But only in the short term.
If the unprecedented tidal wave of sanctions which the West had sent toward Russia had produced some sort of tangible effect during the first two or three months of Russia’s special operation in the Ukraine, then this strategy would have been quite enough to ease suffering Western masses through the shock of the unfolding crisis (although the crisis would continue to unfold even if the Russian economy had collapsed). But over the longer term this strategy stops working. First, the “blame Putin” narrative is rather monotonous and gets old quickly. Second, and far more importantly, at the level of mass subconscious, it creates the impression that Putin is a god: super-powerful, super-influential and able to influence processes both global and local through subtle and invisible means. Moreover, Putin the god is Zeus-like and has powerful atomic thunderbolts at his disposal, adding terrifying appeal to his already frightful image.
Sooner or later the Western mass subconscious will form a simple and perfectly logical thought: if Putin is all-powerful and super-influential, and if we with our feeble “sanctions from Hell” can do nothing to weaken or dislodge him over three, then five, then seven months, then, obviously, we must come to terms with him and accede to his demands before things get any worse for us! And while it would be demeaning for the Western mass subconscious to negotiate with a petty tyrant or a mad despot, negotiating with an all-powerful demigod who holds the fate of humanity in his hands is not shameful at all but a necessary, unavoidable, eminently reasonable measure. Moreover, it should be possible to portray such a compromise in flattering terms: as a magnanimous gift from the community of civilized nations offered in good faith in order to save the world from nuclear armageddon about to be unleashed by an angry, all-powerful demigod.
In turn, if Western politicians are, as one might expect, reluctant to negotiate with Putin and to compromise, suffering Western masses will blame them for any delay. If Putin is all-powerful and super-influential, then why aren’t they negotiating and seeking compromise? What are they waiting for? What’s wrong with them? The better-informed element among the Western masses might even be able to vaguely guess at a seldom-discussed but rather obvious fact: what Putin wants is not at all unreasonable. He just wants some of Ukraine (not necessarily even all of it—just the enthusiastically, patriotically Russian bits) and he also wants NATO the hell away from Russia’s borders. “What do we want this Ukraine for anyway?” this enlightened element might inquire. After all, most people in the West lived many happy years not knowing that the Ukraine even existed. What’s more, their recent discovery of its existence has coincided with the onset of a very nasty crisis—and they still can’t find the damned place on a map! And now they have to suffer with sky-high gas prices, with unaffordable food, galloping inflation, shortages of baby formula—all because some idiot politicians are refusing to give Putin this fucking Ukraine which nobody else wants anyway? (Well, Poland does, but who the heck is Poland?) Come on! Be reasonable! Get rid of this stupid Hunter Biden playground and let’s get on with it!
That is the new narrative that is inevitably forming in the mass subconscious of the West, and as time passes, energy prices continue to increase, shortages of all sorts of things become commonplace… and meanwhile the ruble strengthens and Russia gets richer and richer in spite of “sanctions from Hell,” unhurriedly moving its fabled wall of artillery fire westward across the Ukrainian landscape, this narrative will become stronger and stronger and will eventually become dominant. At that point, any attempt to “blame Putin” will be met with boos, hisses and a volley of rotten vegetables. What should we expect Western politicians to do under such circumstances? We should not expect any surprises; they will do what they have always done: they will try to suppress the new, competing narrative. They will “cancel” anyone who tries to articulate it within the media space. (Tucker Carlson beware!)
In doing so, the West will neatly echo what’s happened within the Ukraine itself—a symptom of a creeping Ukrainization of the West. In the Ukraine, for every single disastrous, catastrophic failure that had occurred in 2014 and 2015, the Kiev regime blamed it squarely on Putin personally. Over time it has succeeded in forming a sort of quasi-cult of Putin as an all-powerful evil deity hell-bent on destroying poor, sore-beset little cuddly Ukraine. As a result, by 2018 give or take a year, in the Ukrainian mass subconscious there formed a new narrative: “What do we need this Russian-infested Crimea or this ornery Donbass for? Why can’t we just give them to Putin, so that he leaves us alone and lets us develop as a European-oriented country?”
What did the Kiev regime do about this new narrative? It did whatever it could to suppress it. This wasn’t any sort of independent initiative on its part; it is, after all, a colonial administration run from Washington. And since Washington was busy architecting a Ukrainian war against Russia, any narrative that involved making peace with Russia was simply not allowed. That’s why all Ukrainian opposition political parties were banned, all non-government-controlled television channels were shut down and anyone who ventured to guess that giving de facto independent territories a chance to decide their own fate might be a good idea were charged with separatism and imprisoned or killed. As a result, the West got what it wanted: a Ukrainian war with Russia.
But then something went horribly wrong. Putin pre-empted the Ukrainian attack and lit a backfire by sending in tank columns into territory previously controlled by the Kiev regime, scrambling its logistics throwing its battle plans into ghastly disarray. Then he set about methodically blowing up the Ukraine’s warmaking capacity using standoff weapons. According to schedule, it will be all gone later this month, Western military aid notwithstanding. And then it turned out that Russia was ready for “sanctions from Hell,” having spent eight years preparing for them, and was able to sustain the blow, which then bounced back onto the West and started smashing it to bits. The West reflexively continued to follow the Ukrainian pattern and blame it all on Putin. By now the alternative narrative of an all-powerful Lord Putin is fully formed and we should expect to hear more and more voices clamoring for negotiation and compromise with him.
The aforementioned Tucker Carlson is one of these voices, and his influence on his vast audience sets the tone for a significant chunk of electorate in the US—not that their vote counts for much. Much more surprisingly, the same opinion was voiced at Davos by none other than that talking fossil Henry Kissinger! In response, the Ukrainians added Kissinger to their… terrorist database. Various Kiev regime mouthpieces positively choked from fury. How could he? Doesn’t he know that negotiating with Putin is strictly verboten? That narrative must be suppressed—in the Ukraine and in the West!
The strategy of blaming it all on Putin has backfired grandly in both the Ukraine and in the West and will continue backfiring, eating away at the social fabric and demoralizing the population. But that’s not all! This strategy is also immensely helpful to Russia. Ignoring the obvious thought that anything that is detrimental to the West is automatically beneficial for Russia, there is another, much more significant benefit that this strategy provides to Russia directly: it works to raise Russia’s, and Putin’s, prestige in the rest of the world, which is already much more important to Russia than the West will ever be again.
By now, the world is quite unified in terms of access to information. The elites of just about every country have access to the internet and can either read English or can feed it through Google Translate and get the gist. And what they read is that in the West, which is entering into a major crisis, they are blaming it all on Putin. Therefore, Putin is all-powerful and super-influential. Further, these elites can observe that Putin isn’t the least bit afraid of the West and is willing to enter into conflict with it—armed conflict, as in destroying the largest army in Europe, one trained and commanded by Western specialists, over a period of three months using just a small fraction of his own army and with minimal casualties. They see Putin consigning to history books the traditional military dogma by which attackers must outnumber defenders by a healthy margin. This causes them to reach an obvious conclusion: Putin is definitely someone they should treat with great caution and respect; the West—not too much any more. The longer the “it’s all Putin’s fault” narrative continues to be in use, the greater will grow Putin’s already very significant influence and prestige on the world scene, and this will, in turn, improve Russia’s chances of reaching favorable agreements in just about any international negotiation.
But this advantage extends far beyond Russia’s bilateral relations. For the first time since Russia was part of the Mongol Empire, Russia has a real chance to confront the West not standing alone but as part of a mighty international coalition.
• Where were the large non-Western countries when Russia was confronting the collective West in the 17th century, with Poland spearheading the charge? India, Persia and China were all stewing in their own juices, while the Ottoman Empire was, as usual, hostile to Russia. Africa, South America, Southwest Asia were Western colonies.
• Where were these countries in the 18th century, when Russia was being accosted by the Swedes, with the rest of the West standing behind them? The situation was barely different, except the conflict with the Ottomans was even hotter.
• Where were they in the 19th century, when Russia was assailed by the French, with the rest of Europe fighting on the side of France? Same thing again.
• Where were they in the 20th century, when Russia battled Germany—twice!—with the rest of the West arming and funding the Germans? During the first half of the century they were still all colonies or semi-colonies, while during the second they were still finding their own way and had little to offer militarily, economically or politically.
From the time of Genghis Khan’s Empire of the Blue Sky, which at one point encompassed Russia, China, Korea, India and Persia (and featured the familiar Russian themes of collective security and obligatory mutual aid) and until the present time Russia has stood alone in its perennial conflict with the West. But now Putin, standing alone, stands a chance of cementing a gigantic international alliance of non-Western nations, comprising the vast majority of the world’s population, an independent and plentiful resource base and well over half of all the economic power. Nobody else has anywhere near this level of Western public relations support, care of the “blame Putin” campaign. Putin’s only peer competitor in vying for the position of a new Genghis Khan is Xi Jinping, who would very much want to join the coalition as Putin’s equal. But China has a test to pass before this dream can be realized: it must reconquer Taiwan. Avenging the humiliation it suffered at the hands of the Japanese would be a nice additional feather in its cap. Once Russia expels the US from the Ukraine and China expels the US from Taiwan, the path toward Eurasian unification will be clear.
What, if anything, should the West do about that? Why, blame Putin for it all, of course!

Wait what if you flip the script and say everything bad is caused by NATO and the anglo-saxons?

I hope that this Eurasian unification happens as soon as possible so that I am alive (57 years old) and have the happiness to witness this event.
Please use the Saker nomenclature – “Anglo-Zionist”. There are 10s of millions of us Anglo-Saxons who quietly get stuff done and are more than happy to leave others alone outside of our regions.
Watch what they do not what they say.
Anglo-saxons have been and still are perpetrating nothing but evil all around the world, no entity has killed more innocent civilians over the last 75+ years, permanently injured tens of millions, displaced hundreds of millions, destroyed hope for billions, pillaged trillions of sovereign wealth and resources, gone back on almost every contract and agreement, and lied to everyone the whole time.
Russia has not colonized any countries but has helped dozens of nations survive and even advance, now and also as the USSR.
Khazarian Mafia – KM (from the region near Odessa/Ukraine) that has infiltrated the west aka Nuland, Kagin, Vindman and many others. This is an 1,100 year old war between Russia/Rus Orthodox Church and the KM. The KM were also called the “name stealers” for an evil thing they would do. KM were also the Bolsheviks who killed 25 million Russian Christians.
Yes, of course. But will you be able to prove it? I am sure that these 25 million “killed” are the same lies from the Anglo-Saxons.
Well the Anglo Saxon have dominate the world during the last centuries, to blame them of imperialism just exposes the truth
The article is sharp in current situation analysis, the prestige from Russia and Putin is evident since they are consider peers and a menace from all EU and US. They must be powerful.
However, as always Russians have a bad understanding of history. There were not a collective west prior to the World Wars. E.g. When Napoleon went into Russia Spain was fighting against France in Spain
In the 17th and wars with Poland Spain and Portugal were occupied in the Atlantic and Britain occupied in war with Spain
Again no collective west there. Collective west is the Anglo Saxon modern dominion. Call the things by its name
Perhaps you play Hearts of Iron or Ultimate General Gettysburg a lot, but this implies primarily the potential of Europe – industrial, economic, food. War is not only about armies and the number of military service. So, in plain text, Russia has always won, including technologically, engineering, by the strength of spirit, perseverance and morality.
“God is not in power, but in truth” – Alexander Nevsky.
Backwards, you’re missing the humour. Don’t flip, just carry on clamouring “It’s Putin’s Fault” and wait for the outcomes….
The other side of the coin is those who blame “Deep State” (a conglomeration of secretive 3 letter agencies and big money interests) for all the ills of the West.
Like Putin, Deep State to its enemies is simultaneously omnipotent and about to collapse like a house of cards.
Cognitive dissonance is the order of the day all round.

This is more than a “theory”
– By Phil Butler, April 9, 2022.
– “The elites in North America and in Europe have joined hands in some kind of ritual, I think. Their ultimate goal being the same as always, the final takeover of Earth. Only now, they seem more desperate, or confident, or both. And Russia is the biggest hurdle in the way of this takeover.
If only the Deep State were about to collapse. To the contrary, they just got a $40B welfare shot on top of a massively increased offense budget that does not include 20-25% more money that is buried in other departments like agriculture.
They own the entire political process. Trump was the exception that proved the rule – just look at how hard they worked to undermine him. He wasn’t supposed to be president.
They are going to have a hell of a time keeping him out in 2024.
Printing trillions of dollars is making the dollar more worthless by the day.
https://twitter.com/KimDotcom/status/1533524778610348032
America is stuck in a big hole, and keeps on digging.
It is not printing that is making the dollar worthless. It would be if the money was dumped into circulation, but all that QE was given to banks and Wall Street. The Fed has been propping up “investors” (the 1%) through direct purchase of corporate debt. That money is not in circulation, it is socked away in “investments” focused on rent collection with minimal to no tax collection.
The causes of inflation are (1) supply chain disruptions due to the trade war with China (2) supply chain disruptions due to covid (3) supply chain disruptions due to Ukraine war (4) corporate price gouging “justified” by supply chain disruptions and (5) commodities speculation.
For example, the supply of oil has not changed (except to those who have willingly cut off their supplies). Thus the increased prices for fuel are simply massive profits for oil companies.
Tightened economic policy (raising interest rates) will lead to recession / depression as the 99% get hammered. That is not how to fix inflation. Study Modern Monetary Theory.
Um, probably some truth there — before the Covid helicopter money, no?
if he PDJT do not “come back” before midterm he is done…..

“It turns out that the shortages aren’t caused by the discovery of dangerous bacteria in the products of a monopoly producer but by shortages of imported sunflower oil from… the Ukraine. That’s according to the Wall Street Journal, no less!”
Sunflower oil is quite unhealthy for adults, much more so for babies. The best nourishment for them is, of course, human milk; failing that, some mixture of whole cow’s or goat’s milk with any necessary supplements. The most essential part of mother’s milk for a baby is the saturated fat, with all the vitamins and other critical compounds dissolved in it.
Right. Why would anyone trust such a produce after the asbestos-in-baby-powder story…
‘Cos the FDA says it’s GOOD for them.. keeping in mind hat the fake, outdated, (mainly based on the failed 1953 Framingham MA cholesterol study), ‘Healthy Eating’ advice was determined by 20 experts, 19 of whom are from BIG: Pharma, Food and Agric. How else can the Murikans have a 3.5T$ annual Sickness Industry?
Also keeping in mind that Med Us are mainly funded by Big Pharma.. and the med students get six hours of fake nutrition. My son got 20mins. Vienna Med U.
” keeping in mind hat the fake, outdated, (mainly based on the failed 1953 Framingham MA cholesterol study), ‘Healthy Eating’ advice was determined by 20 experts, 19 of whom are from BIG: Pharma, Food and Agric.”
Would you kindly provide a reference for this?
(N.B.: I have a sub-reddit called bad_science_culture, which is about meta factors – including bald-faced corruption – that make science and medicine dysfunctional.)
It’s not to do with asbestos or other contaminants: the product in itself, sunflower oil, is unhealthy for babies – and adults as well.
Thanks to Orlov for another humourous-yet-serious product of his always delightful turn of mind.
“Where were the large non-Western countries when Russia was confronting the collective West in the 17th century, with Poland spearheading the charge? India, Persia and China were all stewing in their own juices, while the Ottoman Empire was, as usual, hostile to Russia”.
At this point I feel the author gets rather carried away by his righteous indignation. It was probably never a basic law of any of those nations that they must support Russia in its wars against other Western nations of which Indians and Chinese – if not Persians – had never heard.
As for the Ottoman Empire, isn’t it a safe assumption that any large powerful country will tend to be hostile towards other large, powerful countries in its immediate vicinity? If only because they feel mutually threatened.
Tom,
East and I dont mean geographical East but Esoteric East, is silently fully behind Russia this time in history because of Truth.
Truth is huge,enormous and it cannot be reduced to language. It is there. One can be it, but one cannot say it.
This conflict in Ukraine is on cosmic level,and it is just manifests on that location of Ukraine. It will manifest in Taiwan, and probably in few more locations in the world before new Cycle of civilization emerges.
At the end of the day the Blinken/Nudelman administration is going to be kicked out of NATO, kicked out of Europe, and kicked out of practically everywhere by popular demand.
Nobody is “giving” Crimea or Donbass to Putin. Russia, having no other choice, is taking them as a result of failure to adhere of Minsk I and Minsk II and there is nothing anybody can do to stop them.
“fossil Kissinger” hahaha, good one
What statement by Kissinger shows that the realization has arrived in the collective West that the best deal that could be made for the benefit of the West was with Putin.
Whoever comes after Putin will extract way more from the West.
Hence, the hissing towards Putin. Collective West is basically upset on realization that “train has left the station” with Putin and they will never get better chance.
Oil is also a fossil and we cannot stop needing it…
Kissinger is a fossil that is even more dangerous and flammable than Russian oil and there is no Paul Red Adair today to put it out.
So you and the many are led to believe.
Monopoly cartels operate a captured and misinformed revenue stream.
Consider Seeds of Destruction by F William Engdahl for your fossil theory as well as the background to food control in America’s expanding to global as extension of the MIC – ie the first Green revolution, the promotion of seed oil grown by oil-fed Big Ag.
“Whoever comes after Putin will extract way more from the West.”
I have not seen any discussion around about who is being groomed or capable of succeeding. Is there anyone that can shed a light on this for me?
It will come from the esoteric circles.
Esoteric circle that will be in commanding position is not just Russian but mainly Asian.
Russia is just part, significant scientific and creative part. There are also in US but they will come to be visible later when “clean up” gets started after 2025
Everyone has part in this change
This is global transformation on economic, scientific, spiritual level.
Check refusal of every single African country in UN to grant WHO authority over national constitution.
So everyone is involved in this change: every sing country and every single individual
Probably will come from the state owned coglonerates. These now hace lots of talented hard-working guys in their late 30s to early 40s as “CEOs” of the entire thing or the smaller companies
And if those who wield power want this, chaos. The motto of Freemasonry is “order out of chaos”.
The New World Order seeks to destroy everything that opposes it, especially what little remains of Christianity in the West, and once destroyed, close the CAGE (as the Cuban communists say) for all of us.
War, in my opinion, is the excuse for all the evils that will come to us (and Putin and those who come after will always be to blame) and salvation will come through a new universal religion tailored to them.
I see that the analysts here are not observing the demolition work that the Catholic Church [Institution] is having by the globalist agents and how it is trying to change the doctrine towards ecology, Fratelli tutti that has influenced the globalism of the WEF and many more Examples of the new models of “family”
Freemasonry has penetrated very high in the hierarchy.
This battle is fought between political and the spiritual; if you kill the spiritual you kill any ideological reason for struggle….and destroying dissidents will not be a reason of State but a religious one…

Personally I think Putin is doing a great service for the world.
And he looks well.
I think we need to blame our ills upon
Satanthony Fauci.
Satantony blind Blinken. On the blinken. An ugly man.

I hope this thing of ending the Nazies rule of world is forthcoming soon.
deNazifie and demilitarize, delegitimize American Nazie fascism, any day now.
Sweet.
Sweet surrender soon, no more UKraine….
Then no need to find it on the map…
Anyway the folks who used to live in Ukraine have invaded Europe and America. Oh shit, more Nazies?
Woops….
“Then no need to find it on the map”…well that relieves a vast majority of Americans from ever having to figure out where Ukraine is then!
Henry is not talking fossil, he’s a talking head, literally. The body has withered away leaving a large head sitting atop of it’s remains.
The more I look into how Russia does things I see the west has a much bigger problem than Putin to blame, the place appears full of Putins.
I wonder how many heart replacements he’s had which could have gone to a person who would have had perhaps decades to live because of it. I heard the fossil Rockefeller had six heart replacements.
Death is the great equalizer of all humans, doesn’t matter how much $$$ or power one has. I suppose the psychopaths transhumanism agenda is their desperate attempt to change that.
People in the United States are beginning to ask a question: “Why does America need the president, if the prices for gasoline and sausage are set personally by Putin?”
Or, “Why is potatobrains Biden defending Ukraine so hard? Is it simply because Hunter was on the board of Burisma? It’s not doing us any good at all!”
Seppuku.
They are very much busy at it. Actually.
‘… Russia can be good and agreeable at times […] but Putin makes it misbehave.’
Those god-like powers of behavioral influence must surely be felt very strongly beyond Russia itself, if only as a source of great envy further west. Certain western politicians must be tearing their hair out attempting to discern the secret of increased popular support during a military conflict while their own popularity diminishes with each minor inconvenience to their citizenry. Small wonder that drone operations from remote bunkers against wedding parties and kids gathering firewood is just about the full extent of their brave willingness to risk military casualties and probable reactions of their own “woke” populace.
Maybe, instead of reviling President Putin, they should ask if he’d be willing to expand his remarkable influence globally. But probably not necessary. Even without any invitation or any particular extra effort on his part, that seems to be happening anyhow.
China and Russia will be partners in the true sense of the word and from this they will derive mutual and lasting benefit and strength. They are true leading nations. The West on the other hand is just a collection of former exploitative colonial powers with little credibility and sympathy which will fade into increasing irrelevance. Everyone knows that they are to blame for the current and previous debacles. I saw this cartoon once with a russian bear and a panda bear together sitting on bicycles enjoying a pleasant outing in the countryside.

A World At Odds: The Great Principles Wipe
By Phil Butler, April 9, 2022.
“The elites in North America and in Europe have joined hands in some kind of ritual, I think. Their ultimate goal being the same as always, the final takeover of Earth. Only now, they seem more desperate, or confident, or both. And Russia is the biggest hurdle in the way of this takeover. As we are seeing, one facet of the overall wipe – Putin bad, or Putin good, presents us with another kind of ideological dilemma.”
As above, so below.
As within, so without.
The lies are different at every level.
It is most important to the ruling classes to keep control over the political processes within “The West.” The realities regarding war in the Ukraine may paradoxically backfire even more badly within the context of “The West” being able to maintain about exponentially increasing hypernormalizations of hyperhypocrisies.
Enforced frauds enable symbolic robberies, which then feedback through the funding of all aspects of the political processes. In genuine democracies, the people’s representatives should control the public money supplies. That has become less than 1% true in “The West.” Everything controlled by money became controlled by those who had the power to create the public money supplies out of nothing as debts, while governments enforced those frauds, as feedbacks between the monetary and taxation systems, backed up with the methods of “Economic Hitmen.”
For the vast majority of the people living in “The West,” they have been living for generation after generation inside runaway debt slavery systems, or running on debt engine treadmills, which were originally structured to have to always run faster and faster. Every aspect of their lives which is controlled by money is thereby overseen by those who are able to issue the public money supplies.
In the case of the United States of America, it has a Century of increasing control of society by the Federal Reserve Board. (Similarly so almost all around the world. The few countries not already under the international banksters formed the list of those countries attacked by the USA/NATO, such as Lybia, Syria, and so on.) In the USA, it used to be correct to assert that not one in million average people really understood the banksters. In the USA, at the present time, one might guess that more than 5% have become somewhat aware. Furthermore, those trends may accumulate towards becoming over 10%, and thus, FINALLY, become politically significant. Of course, that seems like hoping for some political miracles, but nevertheless, that kind of domestic awakening the ruling classes are more afraid of than losing the war in the Ukraine.

Another illusion of Mr. Butler was that the Saker was one of Putin’s Praetorians – Self Published by Mr. Butler 2017 ISBN-13: 978-3-9818919-0-4
I thought the best part of Putin’s life story was when he tricked the oligarchs to think that he would be their puppet, until Putin accumulated enough political power to be able to overrule the oligarchs in favour of the Russian people.
“I thought the best part of Putin’s life story..”
The conflation of belief with thought is also facilitated by the “silence” of “censorship”, whilst “censorship” is not an option in a surveillance environment where “publication” is affected on transmission, not after “moderation”.

” I am of Anglo Saxon extraction; a bonified WASP. I was told this proudly by my mother Hope.”
Which suggests you did not have a DNA test which could determine the various ancestry which gave rise to you, but consulted your chosen version of “the fates”.
This also applies to “eugenically distinct/specific” biological warfare which is currently under review
Making rigorous analyses, deriving strategies therefrom, implementing strategies, evaluating strategies, and modifying strategies as necessary, requires a careful/evaluated by multi source-datastreams, not sole reliance on entrails, consulting “the fates” at Delphi and the attempting to bridge doubt by belief as illustrated by the article above, upon which some are apparently commenting.”
and:
“”part of Putin’s life story”
Well Mr. Putin was/is part of a collective, and the collective were using silence/omission to allow others to create “narrative relying on omission which the “audiences” bridge on the bases of their conditioned expectations” but these were not the only vectors, including part of the reasons some crossed the road and built up their stocks of mirrors in 1991.
These were also not the only vectors used in “perception management” in interaction with those who held/hold the notion that Mr. Bernays was/is “an expert” on “perception management” – more than one who were designated as “oligarchs” were persuaded of the errors of their ways by 1994, but of course that is not part of the narratives of some which tend to the view that “These Russians have lost the information/media war” – hence the reference to:
” Another illusion of Mr. Butler was that the Saker was one of Putin’s Praetorians – Self Published by Mr. Butler 2017 ISBN-13: 978-3-9818919-0-4″, or it could have been The Dooby Brothers – What a fool believes, no wise man has the power to reason away (or the inclination), but never “See the good guys in the white hats at your Pontiac dealership.”, or WABC New York 77 on your dial, but little in the reserves since Mr. Nixon is vindictive despite the puppy, and a trifle “anti-semitic” what ever that means.
As Mr. Gogol advised in the 19th Century – You shouldn’t hold onto flying troikas too tightly.”
MrBumble, I mostly do not understand your reply.
Other than that, I am not going to reply any more.
” I mostly do not understand your reply.
Other than that, I am not going to reply any more.”
Thank you for your honesty, wisdom, and good manners..
Enjoy your journey.
“At that point, any attempt to “blame Putin” will be met with boos, hisses and a volley of rotten vegetables.”
I strongly disagree with Dmitry here. Have you seen the price of veggies lately? It’s about as bad as the price of gas. Nobody is going to be chucking vegetables at idiotic politicians. Even bad ones. Veggies that is.
I suggest footwear. You know. Once the other shoe drops. Which should be soon enough.
If you like your rotten vegetables, you can keep you rotten vegetables.
in UK there are not enough visitors that traditionally pick veg and fresh fruit….a lot will be left in the fields to rot and possibly be scavanged by those who can get there .
Dmitry Orlov, You made my day!
Dmitry as always….funny and to the point..why ?… he knows both “worlds” better than his shoes. It’s unbelievable to listen my relatives -upper middle class- in “democratic” eastern Europe- it is worse than 60yrs. ago propaganda from radio YEREVAN or Berlin 1941…..soo blind….
The world population is being held hostage by a few hundred members of a HomoGlobalist plutocratic oligarchy writing the orders, all of them possessing names and realtime GPS/GLONASS coordinates. (Attention, Mr. Kinzhal.) The remaining Western minds can be easily, arbritrarily directed and attenuated by whomever ends up in control of the master media production and broadcast complex. In the collective West a strongly held “belief” in the morning could be utterly abandoned and forgotten by lunchtime. For example, the fact of “Freedom Fries” leading directly to the death of millions of Iraqi people (including 500,000 innocent children) was successfully eradicated from the Western collective memory.
I’ve already written to my local Member of Parliament , Greater London Constituency , suggesting a National St. Vlad’s Day and a Town Hall statue of VVP.
Thought I’d get my request in first ahead of the queue as he’s bound to be all the rage once the Euro-sheeples awaken from their deep slumber.
To WTFUD
I think the West’s citizenry should revive and promote the trend that appeared briefly in USA – driving their cars with bumper stikers which says “Putin for President”, or Prime Minister, or whoever is supposed to be in charge.
I believe that would be a very popular request among the sore beset population. Look at what he did with Russia!
: )
What a fabulous piece! I had a couple of similar thoughts the last 10 years I read and heard constant russophobic nonsense in the moronic German Mass Media. This omnipotent Putin, who is capable of killing Journalists nonstop, in a country with 12 timezones, over 140 million people and at least 100 different languages, this devil! Sometimes some criminals or corrupt politicians were sentenced to jail because of killing people, but surely Putin was behind it, this genius Satan! The retarded Propaganda of the West is backfiring spectacularly, the people will soon realize, nah, its not Putins fault, its the fault of imbeciles who are even more stupid than the old Aristocrats of the British Empire who were sent away in distant colonies to make no harm in Great Britain because everyone knew they were buffoons.
Soon the people will realize, hey, this Putin, if he is so evil and his army is superior, why doesn’t he attack us? He has the most nuclear weapons right? So why is he not attacking us? Could our leaders lie to us? Yeah, but still, its gonna take a while, but I am laughing constantly while the West is making a fool out of itself. All the corrupt morons of the EU, the US, those 40-50 countries of the ‚international community‘, f.ck them! Killing millions of people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Yemen, lying and bsing the whole time, as a unwilling part of the Western World I say proudly long live Russia! And f.ck the Ukro-Nazis!
Historically, it is all so odd: According to the Western narrative Putin has done what the USSR under Stalin, Khrushchev & Brezhnev could not… with all of the additional territories, greater population and a million troops stationed in Eastern Europe. Under Putin the FSB has accomplished what the KGB could only dream of, installing a president of the United States and removing the UK from the European Union. Now Putin will finish the job by bringing the West to economic ruin. If Putin has accomplished all of that, then he ought to be given a chance to rule the world, as clearly is a once in a millennium genius. (lol)
Well said! Yeah, their Propaganda is so retarded, they made some kind of superbeing out of him, some omnipotent god, he can scare people thousand and thousand of kilometers away in the Kuril Islands, I sh.t you not thats what a german ‘Documentary’ said when they were on the Kuril Islands and talked about some school building there, that Putins Power reaches down there, yeah right, he flies in light speed on his Bear down there with no shirt on of course and micromanages the construction of some school building instead of doing something more important than giving it back to the Japanese, what a monster!
Putin is by no means an Angel, I think he is a very intelligent man with morals and honour, but he is the President of a large powerful Country with many responsibilities, he has to calculate the risks if starting the war in Ukraine is preventing the onslaught of the Russian speaking majority in Donbass and Luhansk or if it means more victims in the end. Thats no easy job, and its even a more tough job when the very powerful Western Nations are against you, but he manages it obviously very well.
But he couldn’t do what the West did to it itself, ruining out of stupidity their own economics, ruining their own proxy military in Ukraine. People like Liz Truss, Baerbock, Nuland, Blinken or Sullivan are really really dense and stupid. They are capable in networking and parotting stupid lies they heard and told themselves over and over again (Russia has the economic size of North Italy, Russias army is incompetent, etc.) but know nothing of military history, history, math, physics, chemistry, economy. Its a shame so many innocent people have to die because of it, because of the Ignorance, Arrogance and in the end Stupidity of the Western Elites.
As far as Putin and his actions against the West appear, they read like a paradox:
To bring them to “economic ruin”… he only has to sit back and watch as the West destroys itself.
Imposing one sanction after another… all ending up as golden eagles in Russia’s pocket.
Because some people in the west… believe money really comes from trees.
Yeah, who would have guessed that sanctioning one of the biggest exporters of 20-30 important commodities with a big world market share has a negative impact on those who import them? Maybe a 15 year old child? As Andrej Martynov, Alex Christoforou, Alexander Mercouris and Gonzalo Lira often say, the West has a massive Problem with its Elites, they are really really moronic.
And even if Putin and Russia were some evil Entities, I don’t go around and just f.ck with the biggest nuclear power on this planet, thats also absolutely retarded. I can’t find enough synonyms for their idiotic fooleries, dumb and dumber 3 maybe, main roles Liz Truss aka the Geographic Genius, Boris Johnson and Joe Biden aka Bibo the Clown-Duo, Nuland aka Dumb-Nula the Mob Enforcer, Blinken and Sullivan the Twins of Stupidity, Baerbock the Oracle of Dumbistan, Habeck the Minister for Economic Affairs who would bankrupt a former succesfull One-Man-Fish-And-Chips-Shop, Scholz the man who has no clue what he is doing aka the man with no memory. An corrupt and buffoonish cabale of highly arrogant and ignorant people who would basically destroy everything just because.
The good news is that people *are* waking up to the game. The republicans at least are beginning to hear what their constituents are saying… even though they’re still in dread of their MSM and MIC masters. But 57 repubs, and only repubs, voted against the $40 billion Ukraine package. So, good on them there.
Being a descendent of a Western Ukranian father, (the place where lack of iodine in the soil creates mentally challenged individuals according to Mr. Orlov), I find the lack of reference to Ukraine as the home of the Khazars and the attempt to regain Khazaria as interesting when you consider that “the West” is controlled by the Neo-Con adherents of Zionist supremacy and Goy as cattle believers.
Your geography is goofy. Khazaria was in the Volga delta, 1700km from Kiev.
He’s right and you’re wrong. Khazaria stretched far into Ukraine. And it’s under 1400 km from Kiev to Astrakhan. Look it up.
I know my geography and my history, and you two are fruit loops fixated on the Khazar nonsense.
Well said Dmitry. I’m wondering why so many people are so affirmative about the Khazar kingdom location in Ukrainia…there must be a reason
From WikiPedia: “Khazars were a semi-nomadic Turkic people that in the late 6th-century AD established a major commercial empire covering southeastern Russia, *southern Ukraine*, *Crimea*, and Kazakhstan.”
Also from WikiPedia: “Israel–Kazakhstan relations” history.
Rest assured: if Israel holds ancient title deed to a piece of land, Israel will remind the world of that fact.
At its height their empire reached all the way to Kiev.
I don’t think Ashkenazim have any connection to Khazars. Otherwise they’d be speaking some Turkic language rather than broken German that completely lacks any Turkic vocabulary at all (aside from a handful of words that any other European language would have).
Khazaria II, if you want to call it that, is the United States. At the very least, New York state.
Israeli genetist Eran Elhaik has shown through his research that Ashkenazim descend from people who migrated from the Khazar lands.
“Being a descendent of a Western Ukranian father…” meaning actually a Pole from old Galicia…whose Russian-hate is inborn…
I suspect that Germany, Italy, Japan and Korea among others would very gladly expel the US if only they had some security assurances.
Neither has an agency in the question. Any “why not” arguments are just the facade.
You’re forgetting that there are two demi-gods in this pantheon. Chief of all chiefs, Putin, and Lieutenant emeritus, Trump. What can’t be blamed on the one is surely the fault of the other. Trump even has a mental illness named after him, Trump Derangement Syndrome. Putin, are you jealous?
You are comparing a respected national leader to a reality show host. One of these things is not like the other. It’s like saying that parquet with inlay is same as linoleum because you can slip and crack your head open on either one.
I disagree.
Putin and Trump are equals; both are Christed individuals and both are eliminating the Khazarian Mafia and transitioning our world into a genuine state of human freedom and abundance.
Trump was a vast improvement over the satanic clique that has the U.S. in its grip, but he was still imperfect, and he still accepted some of the default opinions of the establishment, such as commitment to Israel. It’s unlikely he would have been let anywhere near the White House if he wasn’t pro-Israel.
Ron, you must have slipped on that linoleum..
There’s ‘many a slip between the cup and the lip’ Katerina.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is a condition affecting leftist loons who go full tard over The Donald. It’s them who have it, not Trump.
Judith: Canadian blogger and retired diplomat Patrick Armstrong, before he took a hiatus from blogging, had been writing about Putin Derangement Syndrome for, well, years. Literally.
See https://patrickarmstrong.ca/category/putin-derangement-syndrome/
Here is the most recent one from February of this year …
Armstrong: “(Miscellaneous comments from pieces dealing with Russia I’ve collected. Most of them anonymous or with pseudonyms. They are chosen to illustrate either rabid hostility to everything Russian or stone-dead ignorance of present reality. I post from time to time when I have enough, spelling mistakes and all.)”
here is the quote:
Vladimir Putin’s sabre-rattling over Ukraine is scuppering any chance we have of alien contact, a UFO expert has warned. Nick Pope – who investigated flying saucers for the MOD – believes ETs who keep a close eye on earth will view Russia’s escalation of tensions with its neighbour as “primitive behaviour”. And the UFO expert says sophisticated alien civilisations, who he reckons would be light years ahead of us, may see it as a reason not to visit us or get in touch. Nick said: “Highly evolved extraterrestrials probably regard warfare as something that only primitive civilizations engage in, so the Ukraine situation means we’re unlikely to get an invitation to join the Galactic Federation for the time being.”
DAILY STAR, 21 JANUARY 2022. YEAH OK, BUT THEY MUST THINK THAT THIS IS WITHIN THE, ADMITTEDLY BROAD, PARAMETERS OF THEIR READERS’ UNIVERSE.
Armstrong notes that:
“On the other hand, maybe he’s saved us from an invasion by giant bugs who want to lay their eggs in us.
Time will tell…”
The stupid. It burns.
Almost immediately after the collapse of the USSR, the communist Warsaw Pact was dissolved. This marked the end of the cold war. It was over 30 years ago! But NATO just kept going. And expanding! Russia correctly perceived this unnecessary military march towards its borders as an existential threat. Why? Consider the US track record.
Zio-Washington used fake intelligence to justify the annihilation of Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, and then used NATO to destroy Khadafy’s Libya. Assad’s Syria is similarly being targeted. Why? Because those various bad guys were ‘dictators’. We on the other hand are democratic as well as ‘exceptional’. Oh boy. Glorious democracies such as ours get to initiate wars at their own discretion. How lovely.
Zio-America’s serial criminality is in a class by itself. Meanwhile, Washington continues to support nuclear-armed Israel unconditionally, while punishing Iran for the possibility of it someday following Israel’s ignoble example. For over half a century, Israel has used US weapons, money, and diplomatic cover to steal land, expel gentiles from its ever-expanding borders, and foment wars. This arrangement is morally indefensible.
The US has hundreds of secret military outposts circling the globe. We are constantly at war with weaker states that pose no actual threat to US power. Zio-America routinely flouts international laws and has been on a killing spree for decades. Washington cannot be trusted. Russia learned this under Yeltsin. I therefore support Russia’s preemptive defense of its national security. Zio-America (using NATO as cover) is a rogue state that must be challenged.
There’s an awful lot of politicking and dealing going on around and behind this SMO …. so let me paraphrase Vladimir Putin …. “What use has The Hegemon for a world without its hegemony?”
Mr. Orlov forecasts, with a sense of inevitability, the perfect storm headed for the US/EU — an inflation-finance crisis compounded by brewing socio-political crises — looks like a high-category hurricane. His article perfectly complements Dr Hudson’s here today, who writes:
Many more people are likely to die of famine and economic disruption than on the Ukrainian battlefield.
A mildly stated truth. This is the rotten fruit of the US hegemony falling everywhere it goes. Alongside Putin’s term, “Empire of Lies”, Pepe Escobar’s “Empire of Chaos” aptly captures the US government as a criminal racket, an organized crime cartel that deliberately sows widespread death, destruction, chaos and misery everywhere, while reaping obscene profits. This is gangster “capitalism” camouflaged as free markets, a morbid system the Neocon Deep State intends to impose by force worldwide. In this context, I earnestly hope Putin’s does indeed possess godlike powere — as deus ex machina — to topple this corrupt unipolar system. Tipping points can happen quite suddenly, and some of us in the US may not survive it. So be it. Amen.
“Alongside Putin’s term, “Empire of Lies”, Pepe Escobar’s “Empire of Chaos” aptly captures the US government…”
While the obvious combination is “Empire of Lies & Chaos,” this misses an essential element. Hatred as a regular practice, used both within and without, to keep the construct glued together. Putin is just one of the many targets it’s aimed at. Even a casual perusal of the West’s media shows that it cannot be allowed to stop, but must continue finding new and varied hate targets. Meanwhile, they lie even when they don’t have to. Another very important tell.
The hate and the lies are the keystones of the West’s child-sacrificing, Azov-backing, depopulationist cults. As they are to the one they all serve. The chaos is just incidental. Just as it is to the one they serve.
“Empire of Lies and Hate.”
The Divided States of Hate
What a wonderfull text.
I’m no expert in geopol I fully agree that China has to do with Taiwan what it did with Hong Kong . The “poker” has to pay period.
This should be “phase I” of the “Ghenzis Kahn” project.
It has to be historical otherwise the agressors will never roll back. And please go after the “money guys ” and make sure they won’t resurfa e for centuries.
Nicely done!
Bravooooo!!!

If Russia isn’t careful, she might soon find herself the single most influential power, and later cultural influence, in the world sitting as she does as an 11 time zone colossus in the heart of the ‘world island’ with European, Christian, Islamic, Buddhist, Mongolian and Far Eastern roots, almost unlimited natural resources and the best military tech-with-strategic-genius out there.
One thing I wanna know, though: the new financial system they are going to trot out in a year or so: does BIS stay a part of that or are they banished? If the former, then it’s just same-old same-old with new tech and a few minor changes at the elite level; if it’s the latter then we really might have a shot at a new Golden Age led by a new Eurasian civilization.
You don’t have to be a genius to see that the only way forward in the face of ever increasing population, finite natural resources, and numerous countries wanting Western style affluence for themselves, means that every powerful nation, US, Russia, EU, and China must attempt to control as much of Earth’s resources as possible before the finite supply of those resources crashes against Earth’s ever-increasing demand.
So of course the US and the EU are going to do what they do and China and Russia must do what they do. They all know for certain that in 30 years the world will look nothing like it does today so they better get theirs while the getting is still moderately good.
The most important resources IMO are oil, fertile soil, fertilizer, and fresh water. Think of a world with not enough of these to go around and you will understand what drives some world leaders.
Supply and demand.
be optimistic as nuclear fusion is coming to a theatre near you in 30 years!
Nuclear fusion always coming in 30 years. It’s a wonderful, non-depleting resource of nonsense for blog commenters.
Thank you so much Mr. Orlov. I took you seriously a decade ago, collapsed early, and have set myself up pretty well to weather this. I thank you for that. It’s amazing to see things play out exactly as predicted. Keep on keepin’ on, bro.
Orlov: “Where were they in the 20th century, when Russia battled Germany—twice!—with the rest of the West arming and funding the Germans?”
Nonsense. America send raw material, aviation fuel, aluminium, powder, locomotives, hundreds of thousands of vehicles etc etc etc to Soviet Union.
Soviet General Georgy Zhukov said after the end of WWII.
“We didn’t have explosives, gunpowder. We didn’t have anything to charge our rifle cartridges with. The Americans really saved us with their gunpowder and explosives. And how much sheet steel they gave us! How could we have produced our tanks without American steel? But now they make it seem as if we had an abundance of all that. Without American trucks we wouldn’t have had anything to pull our artillery with.”
I’m sick and tired of this everlasting claim that US did not help Kreml in 1941-45.
This is off-topic but sort of intetesting. US military aid to USSR was on the order of 10% of total war materiel. It was prepaid for in gold in expectation that Hitler’s forces, which were at that point a combined all-Europe team effort, would win and the aid wouldn’t be delivered. It was delivered only after Stalingrad made it clear that Hitler would lose. Much of it was given under onerous terms and took generations to repay.
Hi Travis, why they declared soviets an enemy. The US help was momentary. That’s all just to get rid of H.
I am terribly afraid that this patriotic public opinion is the force to be taken into account when dealing with Russia. The Russians have long been told that the West wants to regret it (especially the Soviet era) past. However, there is no reason for that, the history of the great Russian people is a story that everyone must feel deserved pride.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s sermon to Russia called for remorse and self-restraint. Putin represents a gospel of national complacency and stupid pride that is easier to embrace. The West, for its part, wants to criticize Russia’s shortcomings and promise it at most an apprenticeship. That is an ungrateful role. The Great Russians have their national pride, as Lenin already reluctantly had to admit. That is a fact.

Mr. Orlov
All Russians are Mongols according to Zelensky, Mongols are barbarians because they’re Mongols not Caucasians, so Russians are barbarians. By this belief, Ukrainians and Zelensky are racists. Nazi are racist. Therefore, Zelensky is a Nazi.
Zelensky is a Jew, or rather a Jewish Nazi. Why should he care about the Ukrainian Slav men getting annihilated?
Another Brilliant offering from the King. Dmitry Orlov Rocks. Thank you Saker for posting his work. His articles make me laugh, bring me hope and feel positive no matter what. Thank You
I told these people long ago that the shock of reality was going to be worse than their cure all, no one listened, no one understood, no one cared.
I keep saying it shouldn’t be long now, but, that was quite a while ago, and yes things are getting worse, as apparently they must, so just brush off the hit, take the chit, hold out your mit, and have a fit, there aint nothing no one can do about, its human physics bitches.
The Western Alliance has turned from a bulldog into a whimpering Poodle!
I think it’s time to include Russophobia (unhealthy hatred of Russia) as a psychological condition in the official Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). The virus itself will never be isolated and analysed but its existence has now been proven beyond any doubt. How else can we understand the position and behavior of the global West vis à vis Russia?
When Russophobia dictates the behavior, we get the situation the whole western world is going through. Russophobia does not harm Russia, it’s very selective and only harm those in the West that suffer from it. And just like cancer, no cure for it is known.
China is at most a compagnion de route of Russia ( a fellow traveler ). China is the next hegemon and will behave like the hegemons which came before and the ones which will come after.
“NO NEED TO BUILD ILLUSIONS”: COLONEL GENERAL SHAMANOV WARNED ABOUT CHINA
.
Colonel General Vladimir Shamanov made an unexpected prediction about the future of Russian-Chinese relations. “Today the situation is such that we need them, and they need us. There is no need to build illusions,” he said.
China is by far the most responsible neighbor of Russia, but there is no need to build any illusions about this. This opinion was expressed by State Duma deputy, Hero of Russia, Colonel-General Vladimir Shamanov, commenting on Russian-Chinese relations.
He pointed out that the Chinese are far from being a simple nation, and that China is a long-playing record. The general noted that when he flew by plane over China, he immediately noticed: the Chinese are building railway networks and highways in the direction of Russia. What for? Only in order for groups of troops to advance along them, the Russian general believes.
Today the situation is such that we need them, and they need us. No need to build illusions
– he said in an interview to the Telegram channel “PUTIN in Telegram”.
Recall that China’s attack on Russia is a popular topic in the West to intimidate Moscow. General Shamanov is confident that nothing like this will happen in the near future. But in the long term, the threat cannot be discounted.

Another excellent assessment of things by Dmitry Orlov. The shoe of the high ground is definitely on the other foot now. One thing. I find Mr. Orlov’s beard a bit of a distraction, and a cause for some alarm. It very much resembles that of the famed Russian physicist Igor Vasilyevich Kurchatov. Is Mr. Orlov’s beard going to stay until some milestone is reached? The Fall of the West? The economic collapse of the United States? World War III? Are we to expect another Russian tax on beards soon? Is Mr. Orlov about to be discovered to be just another crazed Russian theologian?
Ha! The French call that “une barbe fleurie”… as in “Charlemagne, empereur à la barbe fleurie”. Denotes wisdom. Shouldn’t see it as a distraction.
It’d help to first clear your head of all fake news and stale propaganda about “crazed Russian theologians”. It’s spring, so clean up your mind’s attic and open wide the windows…
The Orlov beard will surely survive the Fall of the West, given its imminence.
There will be no WWIII: Putin has already pre-empted it.
What are you talking about? Why so serious?
Jeff Lovejoy is always good for a completely irrelevant, ad hominem comment. So, my Amish beard makes me a theologian? Ha! In any case, my Uzbek barber mowed it right off.
Great essay by Orlov. The West’s Full Spectrum Incompetence, poignantly outlined with a wry smile.
Putin has made the whole western political establishment look weak and incompetent with zero diplomatic ability , ” Putin’s fault ” translated into ” we can do nothing to stop / change this ” or we are weak fourteen year old brats and Putin won’t let us have our own way ( stamping feet and wailing )
It is near impossible for these US/NATO homosexuals to think normally like the rest of humanity. They are dangerously delusional. For them to reason, it is like expecting milk from a stone.
Não sou homossexual nem convivo com outros homo. Destacar a russophobia mas não a homophobia, é uma lástima para a nossa condição humana, tanto no dito ocidente, como no leste europeu.
I am not homosexual nor do I live with other homosexuals. Highlighting Russophobia but not Homophobia is a pity for our human condition, both in the so-called West and in Eastern Europe.
American punk rocker writes to Russian leader, sounds like just telling him everything:
