I will try to briefly explain and justify the necessary measures to achieve Victory
A special military operation (SVO) revealed a plan prepared in advance by the US power and financial elite to seize power in Russia. It includes the following components and stages.
1. Wear out the Russian armed forces in a war with well-trained and directly controlled by the Pentagon fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, “stitched” by the Nazis with a vertical of officers appointed by the US and British special services. Turn the population of Ukraine into zombies infected with Russophobia. At the same time, incite the international community against Russia, making accusations of war crimes and genocide against its leadership. On this basis, confiscate Russia’s foreign currency assets and impose total sanctions against it, causing the maximum possible damage. This stage is actually completed.
2. Terrorize the Russian population with shelling of border settlements and military infrastructure, sabotage of transport, and hacker attacks. Hit the public consciousness with a flood of negative fake news and anti-government propaganda through social networks. To impose, through their agents of influence in the financial and economic authorities, an economic policy that blocks the mobilization of resources, including: inflating interest rates, continuing the export of capital, encouraging currency and financial speculation, manipulating the ruble exchange rate, and inflating prices. Thus, the sanctions can be repeatedly aggravated and provoke a collapse in production and a decline in living standards. This stage is in full swing.
3. Provoking protest moods and destructive socio-political actions aimed at overthrowing the legitimate authorities against the background of falling living standards and losses in the course of their activities. The use of the entire arsenal of methods for organizing “color revolutions” financed by the Comprador oligarchy under the promise of unfreezing assets seized in the US-European jurisdiction. At the same time, we are preparing the organizational and ideological foundations for separatist actions in the regions. This stage is under active development.
This plan also provides for the following tasks::
- consolidation of US control over the European Union and NATO countries;
- use of the armed forces of Poland, Romania and the Baltic states, as well as mercenaries from the West, the Middle East and the Middle East in combat operations against Russia;
- the destruction of the male population and the actual enslavement of women and children of Ukraine for the subsequent development of this territory in the interests of the power and financial elite of the United States, Britain and Israel.
The implementation of this plan, in fact, is aimed at destroying the Russian world, followed by the American “deep state” plans to destroy Iran and block China.
Due to the objective laws of global economic development, this plan is doomed to failure. The United States will not be able to win the global hybrid war it has unleashed to maintain its global hegemony. They are irrevocably losing it to China, which is rapidly strengthening as a result of anti-Russian sanctions.
Washington, London, and Brussels played their main trump cards in an effort to inflict maximum possible damage on Russia: a monopoly on the issue of world currencies, an image of an exemplary legal democratic state, and a belief in the “sacred” right of private property. Thus, they have put all independent countries in front of the need to find new global currency instruments, risk insurance mechanisms, restore the norms of international law and create their own economic security systems.
Anti-Russian sanctions did not strengthen, but, on the contrary, undermined the global dominance of the United States and the EU, which the rest of the world began to treat with distrust and apprehension. They dramatically accelerated the transition to a new world economic order and the shift of the center of the world economy to Southeast Asia. Russia needs to stand up to the United States and NATO in its confrontation, bringing IT to its logical conclusion, so as not to be torn between them and China, which is irrevocably becoming the leader of the world economy.
This is an important article. (Removed. No attacking the authors. Breaks site rules. Mod.) Two paragraphs that are unclear to me:
1. “A special military operation (SVO) revealed a plan prepared in advance by the US power and financial elite to seize power in Russia.”
How did the Special Military Operation (SVO, not SMO?) “reveal” the plan of the US to seize control of Russia?
2. “Russia needs to stand up to the United States and NATO in its confrontation, bringing IT to its logical conclusion, so as not to be torn between them and China”
What does this mean? Is “IT” the pronoun “it” that refers to the confrontation?
Does the author mean that Russia must emerge victorious against US and NATO because otherwise it will be “torn” between taking a second, subservient place either to them or to China?
3. “To impose, through their agents of influence in the financial and economic authorities, an economic policy that blocks the mobilization of resources…”
This sounds like a direct accusation against the financial and economic authorities in Russia. Am I reading it wrong?
The sanction regime was obviously pre-planned in advance. The EU alone normally takes a quarter to dot an I, yet shows amazing speed now. As President Putin said, why wait? It is obvious in any EU language…
IT is the SVO.
The critique of the central bank applies especially to the US/EU/London/IMF, and Russia. Looks like Chubais jumped ship.
It’s all good. Indispensable translators.
Hello Ariadna,
This is my quick take on the points you have raised.
1: The SMO dragged everything out into the open. This forced the West to respond in ways which are counter productive to their plan and stole their control over the tempo of their operations, putting Russia in the driver´s seat in both direction and speed of the course of events.
2: IT coming to a logical conclusion I read as forcing a resolution of the West´s actions and intentions, according to Russia´s will. So, the outcome of all of this will be determined and executed, as in who, where, when and how, according to what is advantageous Russia, not the West.
3: Bingo on point this point, you got it. It is a house cleaning, a very big step in drawing all Western assets into the open, so that they can be eleminated. That doesn´t mean they get a bullet in the back of the head via silencer. A good example is the fleeing as elite, oligarchs from Russia because of the SMO. Then when they get to other countries, some have had their assests seized and their nice, comfortable and steady incomes terminated. There is most importantly the disaccreditation of their ideas and reasoning.
You cannot conduct successful operations with all of your stuff out in the open. That is death. Russia has forced everything out of the shadows, the closets and there is no recovery from it, especially for a group of very arrogant leaders with zero sense of discretion. Russia wrecked their game.
My take, I wish well to you and yours Ariadna.
Regards.
Thank you!
My respects to an excellent detailing of the points. Just saw Biden on TV calling the G7 for ideas (on how to proceed). This is as good as any admission of total failure of the Ukraine “trump” card and the LEADER of the western empire is lost as to the next step the empire should now take since nothing has worked so far. How not to lose the game.
ariadna, Nonsense! You do not know at all the effort!
Glazyev is talking about the bigger picture that the SMO exposed. I don’t fully agree with him as this attempt to rape Russia again was known already for a long time.
He approached it though in a very methodical manner, that we thought would be fine for those that Still Don’t Understand!
So, I would suggest to simply discuss the points that you don’t understand and say more, because you don’t know.
As to the third point try reading https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/imf-obedient-bank-of-russia-rejects?s=r
I’m no economist so I don’t talk gobbledegook, Glazyev for me is like a Russian Hudson who makes the big picture accessible. I thought tying the purchase price of gold to roubles was genius, since it doesn’t commit you to selling it and yet would allow for it to be re-cycled into the market as the possesor sees fit, so tying gas sales to gold purchase foments unrest between the ‘owners’ of gold and those who claim to have it in custody and creates massive leverage over those who must have the gas. Abandoning the policy after a few days to comply with IMF guidelines was an act of folly on an epic scale. Following those policies has led to losing 40trillion roubles, according to John Helmer, to hedge funds by being entirely predictable whilst using controlling inflation as an excuse. Using the same excuse interest rates have been kept at loan-shark rates forcing sane Russians to borrow abroad, the 180 opposite policy of China, and has led to outflows of 50trillion roubles, according to Glazyev, to service those debts. 40trillion here and 50trillion there and pretty soon you’ve paid for the whole war effort against you.
Another? translation. https://www.stalkerzone.org/sergey-glazyev-people-badly-understand-whats-going-on/
@johnm33 This fits into point 3 as you write. Plus I read 2/3 of Russian regions still maintain strict restrictions and some mandatory needles even today in the West imposed political and social experiment.
This, Putin recently appoint Nabiullina gold negative and Glazyev gold positive, makes me think whether Nabiullina plays a double agent role, playing along with the Cabal but……….
Quite confusing, but so far my impression is that Glazyev draw the most logical picture of the sad situation both outside and inside Russia. So far they got rid of the foreign Russian oligarchs and foreign obligations toward hostile countries, so the loyal forces were strengthened.
Probably the hidden hand and the IMF problem are possible to resolve when the time is in. Rome was not build in 1 day.
Not speaking/reading Russian it’s hard for me to catch up with Glazyevs work, but he seems to be an evidence based economist whereas almost all western ‘school’ economists are idealogically based, Nabiullina included.
I came to my present understanding of ‘money’ and it’s creation via Steve Keen, Michael Hudson and Bill Mitchell, who I believe comments here sometimes. What seems fairly clear from their work is that ‘money’ is a freely produced token which is validated by the power possesors demanding their ‘tax’/protection money in it. The Chinese realised this almost instantly and have refused to accept, in so far as they can prevent them, ‘foriegn’ investments [$debts] which the IMF have managed to install in almost all other economies, [Hudson did a piece on this recently] they also tied their currency to the $dollar deciding to take that pain rather than allowing endless cycles of speculation to drain their own reserves. Nabiullina took the opposite course, and lost that 40trillion, and it’s not as if she does not recognise golds intrinsic true money status, she paid off a debt just before the SMO with 600tons of the stuff flown directly to London, now I had read several times that Putin had seen to it that almost all foriegn debt was payed down, so I strongly suspect that this payment was to the beneficial owners of the RCB being the sum total of the exhorbitant interest collected by the same, who else would demand/get such a payment other than someone who can already print any amount of fiat they care to?
Ariadna,
I think it’s a cultural-linguistic issue. Many cultures simply have difficult concepts and turns of phrases near impossible to convey unless familiar with them. That is why I enjoy listening to Martyanov – he additionally educates and provides insight in translating the Russian mindset when speaking English (i.e. “the US will EAT Europe” – meaning not literally but looting, dominating, enslaving, etc.) I commend and appreciate our translators. They do their best and they themselves may not be native English speakers…
1. SVO = SMO (like NATO = OTAN). SMO revealed US plans through the rapidity, irrationality and disproportionality of the response. There was an entire package ready to be rolled out (something taking weeks/months done in hours), unjustified by any local war. And words of many functionaries attested to this as well: “total economic war” by French minister, “we will win or defeat Russia ” by many, Biden’s hopes for a Russian coup while in Poland, etc.. The West fatally showed its hand to the entire world.
2. My understanding is Glazyev fears half-measures and/or equivocation by his colleagues. Russia cannot afford a Minsk-type accommodation or even détente, which in the current environment is a capitulation. He maintains both SMO and countersanctions, establishment of commodities- and Golden-Ruble, full sovereignty drive, purging of Atlanticists, etc must be taken to their logical completion. Russia must go all-in as their enemies did; there will not be a status ante bellum. Otherwise Russia will become so weakened as to become a feast for BOTH the US and China, who may temporarily settle their differences at Russian expense. That is his POV, a Realpolitik view. Rotislav Ishchenko once wrote similar misgivings of a dangerously empowered China, who would turn a hegemonic eye upon Russia, albeit in the distance future…
3. I read it the same as you. Glazyev has been consistent. He has complained for decades of this internal sabotage, by Russian liberal acolytes of the IMF and the Washington consensus..
Thanks A.H.H.
Of course you make sense!
+amarynth
Russia’s 1) historical existence and identity and 2) status and role in the world are at stake in this SMO. This was not learned when it was launched, but known since early 2000s or earlier. Even those in denial or on the fence (5th columnist’s useful idiots) until now recognize that. Better late than never.
Hence, the initial reaction of China. It waivered. That waivering says volumes because for a brief moment they actually saw the “suicide” of Russia by Russians, and being disposable, open channels with collective West (with whom they have a unstable relationship). When they saw the truth of it all, they stopped waivering and went to Team Russia (so far).
There is no choice but total victory, to the fullest conclusion. Anything less is reshaping (not reviving) status quo.
I think Mr Glazyev focused too much on “ballistic perspective” while the problem (as always) is more down-to-earth……….In short: follow the money……….and in this particular case (Ukraine) also the mission (impossible)…… Let me explain why.
Davos crowd has been pursuing transhumanism / technocracy project for many years. Led by Klaus Schwab (his infamous doctrine “you will own nothing and you will be happy”) who has been anointed by the Khazarian mafia as the man in charge to pursue the ultimate power & wealth grab by ultra-rich and vain of this world.
Russia with its limitless natural resources and historical empire status (Romanov Russia 1682-1916) has been targeted as the last bastion of resistance hindering implementation of those wet dreams. Moreover, vast part of existing Ukraine territory was inhabited by Ashkenazi Jews (Khazars), defeated by Kievan Rus and Mongols around 1000 years ago. Exiled “wanderers” had been gradually proliferating in Europe (eg. Rothschild family) and then further to the US. Over the last 150 years they have embraced enormous power and wealth (eg. AIPAC) effectively calling shots in global politics from the backseats. The Rothschilds’ initial Mandatory Palestine project has proven to not work (not spectacular enough to entertain the idea of Zionist great state). The ultimate dream was retrieval of the ancient motherland (original Khazarian land sprawling between Black and Caspian Seas) and restoration of the great state “for the chosen” on fertile steppes on both banks of Dnipro river.
However, I suspect the concurrent goal has been also focused on revenge on the old enemy (eg. defeated by Kievan Rus and later inconveniences by so called “Pale Settlement” imposed by the Catherine the Great ) and utilisation of Russia natural resources. Having achieved those goals the Davos crowd could use sophisticated AI to control the populace (social scoring system linked to CBDC regime = central bank digital currency backed by nothing as in the contemporary economic House of Cards “managed” by the collective West + UBI = universal basic income for the hordes of structurally unemployed people replaced by algorithms and data structures). This appears to have been their last-ditch effort to prevent implosion of the bankrupt economic system following two huge blows (by closure of the gold window by Nixon in 1971 and Lehman Brothers collapse in 2008 (the House of Cards). Unfortunately for them somebody has checked those cards………….
Following the failure of pandemic narrative, the war (however brutal it may be) appears to be the only natural, last resort choice to create havoc, global depression and creation of the world government (now I guess it will be crippled world government if they are lucky). With secure shelters already purchased somewhere in New Zealand and other exotic destinations, those maniacs still believe in their satanic plan. Let them dream but let us observe how this all will turn into pipedream once Eurasia will join forces and brains to create multipolar counterbalance to the US centric world. Grab your popcorn and something to drink. Unless the hell is unleashed (strategic nukes) it is going to be the best thriller movie (with all due respect for those in the trenches). Let us hope it will all be concluded very soon.
Interesting. I read that Ukraine is at the forefront in the almost Euro zone of developing digital ID, currency, social credit infrastructure etc.
Maybe there has been a deal: The Tribe brings down the West in return for which they get Ukraine, the pivot country of Eurasia in Great Game theory from where they run new transnational Trans humanistic techno fascist Davos-fronted dystopian wet dream on behalf of the New Eurasian World Order.
At least this theory explains the extraordinary way the West is clearly bent on self-sabotage.
Do you remember a failed coup d’etat in Kazakhstan in Jan’22? Do you remember who intervened there? Now in 2019 Kazkhs changed the name of its capital from Astany to Nur-sultan (in honor of the long-ruling Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, shortly after his resignation). Do you know the architeture and layout of the city was designed by Zionist as the future capital of the New World government? You guys think I might be crazy………..just check this out. Is this happend by accident? Pentagram in the middle of nowhere?….I do not think so. “May your life be interesting”………….
https://www.google.pl/maps/place/Lisakovsk+Pentagram/@52.478014,62.1816947,1000m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m12!1m6!3m5!1s0x43cd5e7e86c246c1:0x92885de78c58f2e3!2sPentagram,+Kazakhstan!8m2!3d52.5473522!4d62.5000106!3m4!1s0x43d2a2f6252b363d:0x82fa95ca394f2e6f!8m2!3d52.4796784!4d62.1857218
The pandemic didn’t fail. It was a big move with many goals that was hoped to be a game winner. It didn’t win the game, but it did accomplish the goal of chaos, which is necessary for the transformation they seek.
More chaos is scheduled, e.g. the Roe v. Wade decision and leak.
“More chaos is scheduled, e.g. the Roe v. Wade decision and leak.”
Yes, pushed Ukraine off the front pages, which are full of reports over the fold of protests, along with big maps with some states colored red to signal DANGER! At first I was skeptical that this Roe leak was part of the plan.
Now not so sure. As someone has pointed out, bringing down “Roe v Wade also brings down the “My Body Myself—I decide what occurs with my body and what goes into it” mantra.
And this mantra/logic/concept is a stumbling block to mandating universal jabbing.
Maybe not so much chaos as further hysteria, creating even more division and possibly splitting free-speech absolutists off from Choice absolutists.
The political infighting and the midterms in the US will impact this war in a major way, for although the Rep are backing the war, it may be they are doing so to bury the Dems with it when it fails.
The Dems have so much going against them with Durham, inflation, fuel price increases, growing unease with the cost of Ukraine, illegals flooding in that they appear to have decided to hang their hopes for the midterms on two issues: Tuition forgiveness and Roe.
And to get all of the above issues off the front page they have begun the midterm campaign early by announcing they are ok with tuition forgiveness and arranging for the Roe “leak.”
Now these two programs appeal to young adults with some college who as a group they have all but lost. But the two programs will tear their target audience apart, for noncollege adults will be incensed that they are paying for someone else to go to school.
The other two traditional Dem supporters other than youth are blacks and latinos many of whom have not gone to college and will not support others free tuition. They may well be indifferent to Roe for they know that Blue states with Roe gone will again have the power to put in place their own abortion rules.
I also see this midterm campaign launch as taking place far too early. By July people will be sick of the political arguments, furious at gas prices, food shortages, cost of Ukraine, waves of illegals. And if the Ukraine war is all but won by Russia they will see it as having been a folly to begin with.
By July Biden should have melted into idiocy and they will have had to let him retire, meaning Harris is in charge. I see nothing but disaster for them. If the Reps get control and do not reverse the mess Biden created they will lose their base.
Trump is against this war, many of the people who will be coming in support his policies, I think they will end the war, unless of course we are all dead by then.
The Dems must reflect in hindsight that they would have been better off letting Trump win rather than stealing the election.
Bonami:
Good points all.
I didn’t realize the Dems are promising tuition forgiveness, and not sure what this phrase means.
Personally I am in favor of forgiving current student debt, and restructuring any borrowing for tuition fees in the future. Even at “public” state-run colleges and unis, fees have ballooned disastrously, even for residents of the states. This has occurred even while fewer and fewere faculty have tenure, while administrative staff and benefits have also ballooned. It was not always like this. Especially after the covid op, there is ever less excuse for these crazy college tuition fees.
Not to get too far off-topic, but, briefly, I believe there has been a big initiative for forgiving student loans (judging by what lands in my email in-box). Any sentient voter (I know, I know) knows that this debt load has been a disaster for the former students. The way it was structured was very unfair, and is a huge profit center for the dodgy companies and banks involved in this. Plus it is a huge drag on the economy and of course for young people who are dragged down by this.
My point is that I hope that anyone who is dragging this boulder of debt or has children who hope to go to college and thus supports this issue will see that the price will be even higher if the country continues to spiral downward and the economy continues to tank.
Bottom line: The Repugs should immediately get on board with the campaign platform of forgiving current student loans or with a formula to drastically reduce them. I don’t think this money is actually going to the US govt but I could be wrong about that. But I have seen figures on the obscene, really usorious, way these loans have been structured. .
The student loans are a gravy train for the banks. If students had half a brain they would never have signed on to loans they could never pay. But they did. Why forgive them? why not forgive all the credit card debt, and all the car loans and mortgage loans. Maybe a total collapse of the financial will wipe out lots of debts.
As an aside, lots of collages, maybe even state universities are going to under.
A college education is no longer a pass to financial success. And parents aren’t willing to send their kids of to be brainwashed.
Children don’t understand debt. Debt polarizes civilizations and can destroy them.
Already, debt mechanics have priced homes out of reach. Japan, Korea and heritage (white people) Americans are in population collapse.
Hudson, Keen and others have explained how to jubilee debt, and it can be done so that those who “did everything right,” have no reason to kvetch.
Undo Western debt polarization or die. At its root, debt spreading BOE (City of London) construct, or Atlantacism is what this entire discussion is about. The Western Construct that began in 1694 is now entering its terminal phase, because it is unable to balance itself by jubilee, and cannot get the world war it wants to erase debt ledgers by fire, or attaching new debts to the periphery.
Russia was to be reduced to so many new dollarized debt instruments in the 90’s, but Russia fought back. New debts pay old debts.
Quite wrong I think to attribute Roe decision to Technocrats of WEF vision. It represents an internal culture and political war in the US and globally. Both parties are moving toward a police state managed by complete control of media, money and global imperial armies. But there is a difference. The republicans see the future in racist populism leading to neo feudalism, and the Democrats in transhumanism, the cult of the individual, wars and pandemics to scale back the population and movement toward a WEF global technocracy.
The biggest and deadliest problem with Russia and China as leaders of an oppositional balance is that they fail as completely as the west to face the global ecological crisis. In line with this they have little to no place for non-conforming anti- capitalist communities and indigenous earth based peoples with a different wisdom base. They tolerate pacifist and pro earth communities as does the west but they are most reliant on the paradigm of war.
Who will stop the rape of the living biosphere that is the source of life? Perhaps only a stalemate of capitalists at war with other capitalists can waken the world to the need for a a more balanced Taoist/Communalist/Catertaker vision of how to live in harmony.
Yes, I think your analysis really pulls all the elements together, very nicely done.
I’m English, the meaning is perfectly clear. At least to those with even a slight familiarity with the issues at hand.
How did the Special Military Operation (SVO, not SMO?) “reveal” the plan of the US to seize control of Russia?
They probably set up a subscription for publications from RAND Corporation.
In addition they probably reviewed the Yeltsin Years and looked at how people like Bill Browder profited and Harvard Club advisers like Jeffrey Sachs.
They might even have observed the major disappointment in 2016 that Hillary Clinton did not become president and considered how far the reaction to this setback, the funds Soros and others devoted to finding Russia to blame, indicative of policy goals.
They might also have seen Trump sending lethal arms to Ukraine and developing Obama’s policy.
I really do not think intelligent people in Moscow had to be fiendishly clever to work out US plans – they have been the same for decades. Just for your elucidation – UK and US first plotted to overthrow the Syrian regime in 1957.
The main problem UK and US had with Hitler’s advance on Moscow was that he might succeed and have access to raw materials making him all-powerful. It was to prevent that outcome that US and Uk allied themselves to Stalin………and alliance Churchill wanted to ditch in 1945 and use German troops to attack the Red Army around Dresden in “Operation Invincible”
+ Paul Greenwood
Paul, in retrospect, Trump did nothing new in regard to imperial policies. He tried to sabotage Russia in Syria (big fail), he catered to Zionist objectives and fulfilled them, including assassinating; he did not shut down nor expose the Deep State biolabs in Ucraine (and he knew. Had to know); he gave the Nazis the heavy weapons to launch devastation of Donbass and Lugansk oblasts AFTER the Syrian theater was settled and Deep State accepted defeat, i.e preparing the next front of the conflict between Anglo Zionists and Russia which we witnessing right now. He legalized election frauds wherever it occured in Latin America, especially Honduras where a Deep State drug kingpin and its political party (imposed by Obama, Clinton, Biden) did everything crimminal the Deep State demanded of him; he continued “regime change” operations (Venezuela, interventions in Africa, etc). he may have not demonized Russia, but neither did he try to make things better beyond PR stunts called summits – same “hard line but different optic. List goes on.
This coming from a former Trump voter (myself). He did NOTHING new or different in regard to Deep State policy. All that changed was optics and narrative changes. Policies – the same.
Agree,,,, Trump lacked experience and knowledge in Foreign Affairs, especially Eastern Europe .He could have learned, done some reading and employ better advisors. His son in law knew nothing but Real Estate . Trump should have done much better.
Great ! I think the same ! Trump it’s the other arm of american imperialism ! The trading war with China will envolve in militar war as usual !
Paul Greenwood, I could have told you that in 2015: Trumpa was going to be more of the same, just with different image and words.
That’s what happens in single party oligarchies like USA, where you have the “option” to vote the wolf or the wolf disguised as lamb, and noone else.
The last time a POTUS tried to change something, i.e. have a more democratic and pacifist approach, he was assassinated.
And that would have been the fate of Bernie Sanders too, if the “Democrats” hadn’t sabotaged him early in the primaries two times in a row.
USA will only change in one of these 3 scenarios:
– world war III with a huge non westerm coalittion bombing USA’s territory;
– a series of independence movements splitting the federation into smaller territories;
– a coup followed by civil war.
When there is no true democracy, your “vote” doesn’t change anything. That’s the perfect stage for demagogues like Trump to rise with empty words like “i’m against the system” or “I’ll drain the swamp”. No! Quite the opposite: if he reached that position, that means he is the system’s paladin, he comes from the swamp.
And that was confirmed during those 4 years, where nothing changed, and the super rich had yet another tax cut, NeoLiberal style.
Also, he didn’t get out of Afghanistam as his decision. He just kept the deep state plan of freeing troops/material/budget for the following war (Ukraine). And he probably didn’t even realize what he was doing.
If I was in USA (I’ll never be, not even if they paid me) I would understand why reds hate blues and why blues hate reds. But I would also see beyond that propaganda and realize it’s just two colors of the same party, of the same oligarchy, of the same deep state: the pro-War Capital-Fascists.
You want a real change? To feel what’s like to be in a true democracy. Then get out of there, or look again at the 3 scenarios and choose your option.
Or, if one day the JFK miracle happens again, try to keep him alive for the full 8 years… You had a chance with Bernie Sanders, half a century layer, but looking at the alternatives available, there’s no one else and it looks like now you’ll have to wait 5 decades again (if your country still exists then…)
PS: if you don’t agree with me calling USA a non-democracy, it’s easy: just count the number of parties representing you in both chambers of Congress. If it’s fewer than 4, then it’s not a democracy. I think even China has more sensibilities represented in their Communist party, than USA has in those “2 parties” combined… It’s ridiculous.
2. Russia needs to withstand the confrontation with the US and NATO, bringing the SMO to its logical end, so as not to be torn between them and China, which is irreversibly becoming the leader of the world economy.
Thanks for this important statement.
I agree with Ariadna that portions of it are unclear.
“Thus, they have put all independent countries in front of the need to find new global currency instruments, risk insurance mechanisms, restore the norms of international law and create their own economic security systems.”
Whom is this about?
English is poor language, simplified way of talking, it is hard to translate ….
In English:
-brother of my father is UNCLE
-brother of mother is UNCLE
-my old neighbor is UNCLE
-husband of my father’s sister is UNCLE
-husband of my mothers sister is UNCLE
-sister of my mother is AUNT
-sister of my father is AUNT and so on
In Serbian
-brother of my father is СТРИЦ
-brother of mother is УЈАК
-my old neighbor is ЧИКА
-husband of my mothers sister is ТЕТАК
-sister of my mother is ТЕТКА
…етц.
I don’t speak Serbian, so I thank God that all my uncles and aunts are dead now and I don’t even have old neighbors! I shudder to think how I’d manage in English otherwise. Luckily for me, while they lived I knew nothing about this subtle Serbian differentiation among avuncular relatives. I remember wishing I could read Serbian in my adolescence when I was a fan of Nusic but luckily again I didn’t learn it.
He is a member of the National Financial Council of the Bank of Russia, his father is Russian and his mother Ukrainian and he was born in Ukraine. Qualified enough to explain. You know something is not clear if someone with his credentials had to come out and explain. Now I read what he wrote. No! All that is wrong. I and all the others who criticized him before were right. He’s like a little spring chicken. Don’t even listen to him on economics. Instead of banning the words “war” and “invasion”, I would like to see them banned from speaking/writing after their last “intervention” (Glazyev, Patrushev) – absolutely. It should go through a censor. The censor could ask among other things, “What does this have to do with your position or your job?”
Call Nina Jankowicz at the new US DHS Ministry of Disinformation. She advised Kiev on Disinformation.
First, check with Tucker Carlson though : This the point where we have to draw the line
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4inJSblCUY&t=268s
She advised Kiev on Disinformation.
You give her too much credit ! Have you heard her on TikTok ? She is not the string-puller. more the courier. I think Advertising and Media Marketing people did the Disinfo.
Nina is somebody’s former mistress given jobs and access in the typical DC Way……she probably helped her husband’s career along when he resolved a loose-end for her married patron.
You cannot seriously believe this bimbo with lightweight education and little experience is packaging this CIA playbook for Western Media. If she were important she would never be so self-promoting but blend in and be invisible
Bimbo’s are in charge – look at Pelosi’s Kiev visit,
No education, and to look funny on social media is the CV bullet point.
Ask Ray McGovern what real CIA intelligence should be!
Anyway Revolver does the job:

Thank you for this link. Laughing my head off at this incredible bimbo, but oh dear God help America! I’m clearly going to have to add America to my morning prayers.
Well said again!
“I will try to briefly explain and justify…” “This plan also provides…” “The implementation of this plan…” ”
He presents zero evidence and no examples (other than mentioning sanctions). We learn in high school to “substantiate”, not to present our case as if we were prophets.
“Due to the objective laws of global economic development, this plan is doomed to failure.”
He is a professor. I think it amounts to what in Spain they call, deprecatorily, “un argumento de autoridad” (an authority argument).
His last sentence: “…so as not to be torn between them and China, which is irrevocably becoming the leader of the world economy.”
“Irrevocably”? Never say that especially if you are the neighbor. A functionary who has a role in his country’s financial-economic departments should never make a statement like that. I expect Russia, due to its talents and because it is the richest nation of the world in natural resources, to become a major economic power in the future – one that could rival any power. He’s the Russian though (I’m not).
I used to read William F. Buckley even as a teenager. He was the “great one.” I disagreed with him as the years passed, but you can’t compare him with Glazyev, or with Patrushev speaking on all subjects. The erudition, the elegance, the refinement of a William F. Buckley – we are a little spoiled. Our profs. are more ready than Glazyev too, I think.
‘Our profs. are more ready than Glazyev too. I thiink.’ – Sure they are, they got us here, didn’t they, up shit creek without a paddle?
Similar profs., WTFUD. Fed chairman Bernanke is still a professor, but he wouldn’t speak about an SMO. As a “superstar” he might, but he is not that. Nobel laureate economist Paul Krugman is getting into military matters at the NYT where he is a columnist. Do you know why Glazyev the functionary is getting into this? Is he doing it as a “superstar”? I think so.
Glazyev wrote:

tranquilocomp muses:
“He is a professor. I think it amounts to what in Spain they call, deprecatorily, “un argumento de autoridad” (an authority argument).”
Not at all. An argument to authority is the weakest of all arguments. It does not argue to intrinsic evidence.
Glazyev is arguing to intrinsic evidence based upon “objective laws of global economic development.” In other words, the deep state is attempting a megalomaniac gambit to take over the global economy based upon financial control and total war.
This naturally will provoke global economic development to unite against it. The US is not the economic, productive power it used to be.
“I will try to briefly explain and justify the necessary measures to achieve Victory
A special military operation (SVO) revealed a plan prepared in advance by the US power and financial elite to seize power in Russia. It includes the following components and stages..” (Glazyev)
#1 is what happened. He just says it’s stage 1.
#2 “This stage is in full swing”, he says, same as #1.
#3 “This stage is under active development”, same as #2. He just numbers things but has some extras which are only opinions: “This plan also provides for the following tasks…” Like I said before, there is no explanation or justification properly speaking.
In 2016 he was Advisor to the President of Russia and in 2004 he ran for President. I hope there’s a good replacement for president Putin someday.
“’I will try to briefly explain and justify… This plan also provides… The implementation of this plan…’

Seriously? The subject article is obviously an opinion piece, not a lengthy, comprehensive legal brief or doctoral dissertation.
“Seriously? The subject article is obviously an opinion piece, not a lengthy, comprehensive legal brief or doctoral dissertation.”
He says a “plan” has been “revealed” by “a special military operation”, a plan to seize power in Russia, so it is neither a doctoral dissertation nor can it be an opinion piece, right? Please read what I answered to “Philosopher and Realist.”
“He says a ‘plan’ has been ‘revealed’ by ‘a special military operation’, a plan to seize power in Russia, so it is neither a doctoral dissertation nor can it be an opinion piece, right? Please read what I answered to “Philosopher and Realist.”
Of course it’s an opinion piece, similar in style to some of Paul Craig Roberts’ articles. Perhaps it’s not so well written but the gist of it seems clear: basically everything that’s happened so far – subsequent to the “special military operation” – demonstrates/reveals that the Satanists that run the U.S. are implementing a long-standing plan to try to politically destabilize Russia and ultimately install a collaborator government.
Okay, an opinion piece.
This logic is nonsense. You know something is not clear if someone with his credentials had to come out and explain. What ??? Explaining is what experts do, as part of their job.
Glazyev has written books on the subject, to “come out and explain.” I If you are curious, visit his his website, https://glazev.ru/?ysclid=l2rodoxoso. Some books are in pdf. It’s all in Russian, but Yandex or Goodle translate do a good job.
All that is wrong. I and all the others who criticized him before were right. He’s like a little spring chicken. Don’t even listen to him on economics.
This criticism is 100% content-free.
“This criticism is 100% content-free.”
I gave my reasons but in my answer to “Philosopher and Realist” I did the explaining and justifying. If you read what I wrote to him and verify the content by rereading GIazyev, you’ll see that my criticism is correct.
It is now clear to me that there is a real intelligent understanding of who is pulling the strings behind the eastern European cannon fodder puppet states. This is very important since the real targets are identified and Russia won’t make the mistake of wearing out fighting the new talibans.
Concerning the phase 2 and 3 I wouldn’t be so pesimist as Glazyev, although he certainly knows the Russian reality better than me. This is sad. I hope they can make it. This is humanity last stand before total enslavement.
Here is
Sergey Glazyev: To those who did not understand
https://glazev.ru/articles/10-vlast-i-obshhestvo/101482-sergey-glaz-ev-tem-kto-tak-i-ne-ponjal
Glazyev has many articles with much more economic and financial details there.
The big question I want answered, is how is Russia going to defeat this alledged* plan without vapourisng my cats in the process.
* The word “alledged” is not used to cast doubt on the authors words, but to indicate my own way of treating new data.
I want to know as well my MY country is involving itself so wholeheartedly in the campaign to support Ukraine when for nearly sixty years I’ve been hearing how abhorrent Nazi Ideology is, to the point where model aeroplanes in Germany are not allowed to carry the authentic markings!
I note that it would appear that your “perimitr” system in combination with having made an effort to secure your population during the cold war, (Unlike the cynical basta’s that lead us!) allows you a level of nuclear brinkmanship that we do not enjoy… This Assymettry, kinda negated M.A.D.
I like an awful lot about the glimpses of Russia and the Russians that I have seen, but I am not convinced that as an aggregate you are any “saner” than us as a people. I’ve watched too many Russian traffic videos and seen what you people do with those 650 motorbike and sidecar combinations, to be able to see you as “pillars of sanity” that will save the world!
You do seem to be going to bat against the same entrenched evil that I dislike, and if you can pull it off without the need to incinerate my cats ( they are really nice, we rescued ’em from being homeless, and they have lovely personalities outside of how they treat spiders..) my respect for Russia will be boundless. I’m not sure how practical “demilitarising” ukraine will be, unless you get REALLY good at blowing up the flow of our weapons “our” side are wasting in this stupid thing… Mind you if you quite at JUST the right point, you’ll have committed us to a spending program on re-arming that will indeed equalise the world power playing field somewhat..
What you REALLY need to do is prove your point unequivocably on the word stage about all the nasty stuff we were doing in Ukraine.
If as I suspect may be the case, most of my fellow citizens are completely deluded about the nature of the unipolar world order, and our roles in it as individuals rather than just cogs in a social scoring slave system they NEED TO KNOW.
Before the Sarmats fly.
Your cats might get vaporized. I hope not. They sound like cuties. However we are in a period of off the hook antagonism towards a major nuclear power. By another declining power that seems to not realize that’s it’s pants are half way down. The neo cons are in full control of the us state dept. you cats only real chance is that the us generals decide they love life and family more than taking orders from neocons. But it’s not just your cats. It’s all of us.
You expect too much of Russia, and nothing at all from your own country’s citizens and officials.
You people, along with intellectual and spiritual leaders, should be organizing revolutions, by now, in the proper sense: a revolution aims to restore legitimacy and order, deal with sectarianism that destroys social fabric (that’s the numerous ‘minorities’ and their ‘special rights’ as opposed to the majority, the organic backbone), build infrastructure, put together a coherent state policy for economic prosperity and easing people out of poverty etc. etc.
That is what needs to be done. Before the minority of extremists, delusional and illiterate as they are, drag you all down the cliff to the point of no return.
Before the Sarmats fly…
The Borg: “Resistance is Futile.”
Gil Scott-Heron: “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.”
Internal change is unfortunately a mirage.. This is why, surveying the limitless desert, so many intellectuals put their hopes on external foes Russia-China to rebalance our world. They really appear our last chance.
Perhaps I have read Dr. PCR too long and he has rubbed off. But I DID live for 20+ years in USA too. This Empire has insulated itself too well from internal “sabotage” (change for the better). As with Ancient Rome, the Barbarians will need to crash the gates, hang the satanic elites and their poodle Technocrats, and thus enforce change..
Before Poseidons swim or Sarmats fly…
If we’re counting on the zombie type sleepwalkers and daytrippers I share this Island with then we have only 2 hopes, Bob Hope & No Hope.
Times are hard for the bottom 20% ( real poverty ) and the working class (20-50%). Only when thing get real tough for the 50-80% will we see real dissent. At this moment in time the UK Government are subsidising this professional sector, digging a hole for any possible future green shoots and building a nice debt-egg.
Under/Unfunded liabilities like future Pensions for retirees, which the Government & Corp have raided will come home to roost. All these poor saps who think they’ll be drawing £100k per year will get half or less. We will see fireworks then for sure when all those lackeys and shills are duly rewarded for their treason.
Well said.
First economic collapse; then revolution might be possible.
My thoughts precisely. It’s high time for Americans to get off their couches and organize. But who am I kidding?
Said in a nutshell.
“This plan also provides for the following tasks: the destruction of the male population and the actual enslavement of women and children of Ukraine for the subsequent development of this territory in the interests of the power and financial elite of the United States, Britain and Israel.”
This is a remarkable comment. I am not saying he is wrong but I am surprised he said it. However, since Lavrov has also said that Adolf Hitler had Jewish blood, maybe something is brewing.
Thanks to Glazyev and Saker +. This is a very important statement.
This too confirm our own understanding of what is going on up to now, now officially confirmed by a key person in the heart of the big game.
If the Cabal has this power to organise this agenda at this scale for Russia, imagine how it would be for another minor country. Happy to see the game is over. It looks like a loser, it walks like a loser, it talks like a loser, what is it?
Kill the old Nato King, Long live the new China King. https://ok.ru/video/1068350574965
By the way, I dont agree with my co-commenters here. I find the translation and headline justified, and the suggested corrections irrelevant in proportion to the substance. All the best to everybody :-).
Thanks for that last comment Tommy.
(Thanks for the whole comment really, but the last para specifically).
And finally, he names Israel as one of the perpetuators of the crisis. Times are changing.
An interesting comment by Gilbert Doctorow regarding Lavrov’s comments about Hitler’s ancestry and Jewish anti-semitism is as follows:
“The Russians are very dissatisfied with Israel over its past military cooperation with Ukraine, and Lavrov’s statement was only the opening round. If we go back to the very first days of Russia’s ‘special military operation,’ when they took control of the Zaporozhye nuclear power station and seized there documents relating to Ukraine’s efforts to build a ‘dirty nuclear weapon,’ the Russian Ministry of Defence announced that there were foreign enablers active there. Then the next day, unexpectedly and in great haste, Israeli Prime Minister Bennett flew to Moscow for unscheduled talks with Putin. Almost nothing was disclosed about the subject of their talks. But subsequently the foreign enablers were never identified by the Russians.”
Food for thought.
Dear David,
Thanks for this anecdote! Extremely important. Here is the piece:
https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2022/05/04/lavrovs-anti-semitic-remarks/
All were wondering at the crazy delay in the nuclear FF. The Donbas is essentially won! Many also hectored Russia to blackmail Israel or further threaten its crumbling position in the Levant. Perhaps Russia was on the ball? And had the Zionists by the short-hairs since that Zaporozhye event? All belligerency and Ukrainian trails and perfidy lead to the Zionists. Given Russian habit of making plans, it is inconceivable they were not accounted for during the planning and contingencies of Operation Z.
I agree with Doctorow that this sortie by Mr. Lavrov “was only the opening round”, and with Meyssan, that this is a watershed event, which will, “challenge the Community definition of anti-Semitism.”
https://www.voltairenet.org/article216733.html
Remember “anti-Semitism” since at least Émile Zola, has been the taboo which binds the alliance of “Judeo-Christianity” since late 1800s. Even earlier accommodations were reached between Anglo-Saxons and Jews. Since WW2 the holy Holocaust narrative with its simplistic Manichean separation of Nazism and Zionism/Judaism helped seal the alliance. If Russians pick at this constructed narrative, it will undue a lot and bring catastrophic consequences, especially to Jews in the West.. You do not need to have an imagination, merely seeing the psychic group Hate currently beamed at Russians, and a historical review of pogroms, to see how Euros can turn on a dime onto the new target. So Russians appear slow and unfocused, but perhaps they calibrate correctly and are applying the necessary pressures to the source actors behind the scenes..
I think Lavrov was referring to ideology with his ‘blood’ comment.
Hitler was anti-Semitic but his ideology was fascist, white supremacist, ultra-nationalist. To be fascist, white supremacist, ultra-nationalist you don’t have to be anti-Semitic. None of those terms are mutually inclusive but often coincide.
Genetic correlation of ideology is not causation.
David, Ukraine is literally a Judeo-Zionist occupied land: The presidency & the most important ministerial posts are held by Jews. The US State Department´s Zionist Jewish nest dragged the USA into this inextricable cauldron.
Putin’s achilles heel.
Notice how the Zionist scum have upped their game in the region, attacking willy nilly despite Russia’s warnings.
I’ll know Russia is serious when it allows Syria to return fire.
No sugar coating over this fact when Slutsky and the boys are worse scum than even Blinken (at least we know where he’s coming from and where his loyalties lie )
Can’t have your cake and eat it too Putin.
Sergey Glazyev is currently an adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the issues of regional economic
Around 1992, Glazyev forged relationships with Lyndon LaRouche, a US-based political activist and founder of the
In 1992, the Schiller Institute for Science and Culture was established in Moscow.
Glazyev and LaRouche most likely met in person for the first time in April 1994, when LaRouche and his wife and associate Helga Zepp-LaRouche travelled to Russia and addressed a number of workshops, including one at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow. Glazyev’s senior colleague, late Russian economist Dmitry Lvov who was in contact with LaRouche too, was a full member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and might be one of the people who officially invited LaRouche to Moscow. Late Taras Muranivsky, professor at the Russian State University for the Humanities and president of the Russian branch of the Schiller Institute, might also be involved in organising LaRouche’s visit to Moscow.
In 1995 LaRouche appeared in the Russian parliament to present his report “The World Financial System and Problems of Economic Growth”.
During the 1990s, the LaRouchites praised Glazyev as “a leading economist of the opposition to Boris Yeltsin’s regime” and published Glazyev’s interviews and articles in their weekly Executive Intelligence Review. In 1999, LaRouche published an English translation of Glazyev’s book Genocide: Russia and the New World Order.
The relations between LaRouche and Glazyev continued in the 2000s, the Putin era. In particular, LaRouche and Helga Zepp-LaRouche took part in the Duma hearing “On Measures to Ensure the Development of the Russian Economy under Conditions of a Destabilization of the World Financial System” held in June 2001 at the initiative of Glazyev who was then chairman of the Duma Committee on Economic Policy and Entrepreneurship.
Glazyev’s promotion of LaRouche and his ideas in Russia resulted in the latter’s growth in popularity as an opinion-maker and commentator on political and economic issues in Russia.
So it is pretty clear why WallStreet/City of London are having convulsions.
They are utterly and irredeemably bankrupt, and of course Glazyev knows full well.
Every sanction attempt simply accelerates the total bankruptcy, boomerang does not quite catch it!
The alliance of 4 great powers, Russia, China, India, and the USA is key.
London/WallStreet are using Ukraine to prevent this to the last Ukrainian.
Glazyev’s central bank critique applies 100% to the transatlantic. His financial and economic actions have London/WallStreet in a hysterical fit!
“The alliance of 4 great powers, Russia, China, India, and the USA ” the potential is awesome. The possibilities are hard to even imagine. Let’s start with Putin’s tunnel across the Bering to Alaska!
Why are Glazyev’s points controversial? All of Russia’s moves have clearly been to counter these intended attacks. The Russians expected these moves and planned for them – it doesn’t mean they didn’t hurt, but they were effectively countered.
The only quibble I have is that “US power and financial elite” should really be “Globalists/Zionists”. You can see that by observing who is loosing their $hit over it, especially by the failure of the only weapon they have the courage to wield: money.
For those who’s eyes are open it is clear what this really is: A war against the Globalists/Zionists. It’s the real thing. Just look at how Israel is freaking out over Lavrov’s comments.
The US’ business is business so the US only wants the cash here; the US armed forces and state dept. are there for worldwide fund raising only. The UKR provocation of RUS and the UKR war are the US’ defining geo-existential triumph for this century: The US chokehold on germany+EU just became stronger than ever, e.g., merkel refused the F-35 but now germany announced it will earmark ~10 billion for buying… F-35s. This, together with the sales of ultra-expensive US LNG to the UE, is just the beginning. The US will now move on to force even more than before and if necessary manu militari, all non-eurasian producers of gas, oil, and raw materials to sell their stuff in dollars. To this end the USA will soon brutally subjugate the entirety of latin america and southern africa. For its part fascistic euro-supremacism, now more than ever in full and unopposed control of the EU, will prey for Lebensraum in the mediterranean and northern africa (with US permission). RUS&CN cannot (yet?) oppose the armies/navies of US&EU in either region. In other words the US is about to be flush with cash again. Current US brinkmanship in UKR is only about keeping the EU hysterical/under pressure/fully subjugated, i.e., to keep the EU paying for ever more ruinously expensive US “protection” for generations to come.
This analysis seems to draw heavily on Michael Hudson’s recent interview with Halper and Mate.
His prognosis is very different from that of Pepe Escobar, who foresees the Globat South siding with Russia and doing so effectively and decisively.
I would love to see a discussion between Hudson and Escobar.
Taffy, the Henry George School has a talk with Hudson and Escobar

Another Kremlin narrative. The west & nobody else for that matter, ever buys this crap.
WMDs in Iraq!
Saddam was behind 9/11!
RussiaGate!
Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide!
Hunter’s laptop is Russian disinfo!
Amazing that anyone is stupid enough to believe western media bullshit after decades of outright lies.
Enjoy your KoolAid.
“Another Kremlin narrative.”
Well of course; somebody has to tell the truth.
“The west & nobody else for that matter, ever buys this crap.”
What a stupid comment. If that were true you time-and-bandwidth-wasting-judeo-communist-trolls wouldn’t be here.
Why didn’t Russia block energy export to NATO countries as soon as they started $$upporting and sending weapons to the Ukro Nazi’s is beyond me, also Putin and Lavrov still calling the west “our western partners”….really.? Geez.!
Because Russia at base is a European settler nation.
And Russia’s “conflict” with Europe is not that it opposes European imperialism–which has been raping and looting the world for centuries to this day in the name of false religions like Western Christianity in the past or Western democracy (sic) in the present.
Rather, Russia’s dispute is that it has not been “given a seat at the table” of European imperialism–though it hopes to be given a seat in the future.
Hence, the Russians don’t want to completely alienate their imperial European cousins.
Russia may have developed provisional “alliances” with China, Iran, India, or other non-Western nations out of expediency.
But they are only short-term tactical alliances of convenience, which will be shamelessly dropped if Russia is welcomed back into the exclusive club of European predator nations … sorry … “democracies.”
Dan Glazebrook aptly summarizes Russia’s pandering need for Western acceptance in his article below:
“The tragedy of Putin’s Russia has been its crippling desperation to be accepted by ‘the west’. Like Israel, Russia is offended that its right to dehumanise and exterminate – the very essence of whiteness – seems to be constantly called into question, as if their very identity as white nations is being denied. Why are you allowed to shit on international law, to invade sovereign states, to starve and beseige, to use thermobarbaric weapons, to bomb hospitals, and we are not? What is this Russophobia, this anti-Semitism? Am I not a white man and a white brother?”
https://danglazebrook.com/2022/03/10/this-war-is-perfect-for-the-us-and-uk-thats-why-they-goaded-russia-into-waging-it/
you’ve missed a crucial fact…russia isn’t disappointed it hasn’t a seat @ the table bt understands fully that it is not only the table bt the entire menu! russia is not a mullet, she knows what’s going on in the minds of the envious cabal, which intends to fully rape & ransack regretting fully that they lost control in the 90s to putin & such influencers as lavrov & patrushev. you are mistaken in blaming russia for not acting sooner—she was reeling, almost dead, from her rape by the envious lying cabal. stop for a moment & consider how well she has recovered. look to her weapons, wonder @ her ability to withstand such starving sanctions. wonder @ her sane & reasoned responses to the deprived cabal…yes, still referring to them as learned friend—for russia follows international law & in a court of law you maintain civility—& russia, her every emissary, knows full well each & every word & action are as though executed in a court of law.
thank you saker, translators & amaryth for all your hard work & offering us such an important piece.
Perhaps because Russia is not stupid, and not one-dimensional?!…and our “western partners” is a humorous expression that is clear to just about everyone, at least in Russia.
I know many of us here in the Midwest are praying for Russia and the innocents being slaughtered in Ukraine.
This is a holy war and the Russians, Chechens and others committed to humanity are fighting a demonic force.
Russia must prevail and conquer the demonic forces of the West.
Russians are the only ones who can defeat these monsters.
Not all Americans are ignorant. Last week, my 82 year old grandmother was at the beauty salon where she was in conversation with another 80 year old. The woman said to her, You know, that Zelensky is an evil man.
So, the good news is that even little old ladies in rural Michigan are able to learn the truth.
That’s very reassuring and uplifting to read. Thank you for sharing :-)
Talking to “ordinary people” can be revealing. My neighbour is Rumanian. She is not noticably political. Last week after the Transnistria scare started. I asked her what she thought would happen. She replied “the media is full of nonsense about the Russians going after Moldovia when they have occupied Ukraine – one country after another will fall to Russia. What a load of nonsense. Ukraine stirred up the Russians and the Russians reacted. Period.” I asked her if she thought the Rumanians would join in the fighting. She replied “Never. You must be joking”.
I pass that on for what it is worth.
💲Bloc vs Non-$ Bloc
The global conflict is being driven by the $ Bloc (£,€, Yen…) to maintain its hegemony and the Unipolar world order. £, €, Yen… are anchored to the $ and these reserve currencies control the majority of reserves and trade. Deeds & details reveal reality. Russia was naive or Russian Central Bank worked with the Empire in its partial De-Dollarization. However, Russian assumptions were wrong, ending in its reserves being frozen. Russia didn’t understand the Empire well and made mistakes.
The Non-$ Bloc is at a significant disadvantage until they trade in these Empire’s private reserve currencies. All the talk is worthless until Russia, China, India, Iran,… work together and trade in their respective national currencies. Until the Non-$ Bloc conducts more than 50+% of its international trade in Empire’s currencies they’re subservient to the Empire and will be played by it. Many write narrative fallacies but numbers reveal reality. United the Non-$ Bloc nations stand and divided they fall. The Empire is a genius of divide-&-rule game, and is working to capture the Non-$ Bloc nations sequentially.
China is very conservative and wants a stable environment to rise. It thinks time is on its side. The Empire knows this and it will work to deny time & destabilize its environment. China as a result will be caught by surprise like Russia. The EU, Five eyes, Japan, and financial centers (Switzerland, Singapore,…) are working together and have a common front. How are the Non-$ Bloc nations working together? Is Russia internally united?
Internal vs External Forces
Those challenging the Americans for changing the internal dynamics, need to face the reality of the American situation. Good Americans are in minority without control of money, media, markets and military forces. The internal forces of change are weak and some who tried, didn’t succeed. If the nations with the size of 100 million populace, control of their money, media, markets and military are being challenged then please understand the herculean challenge for the internal forces. The external forces can strengthen the internal forces if they unite, conduct their international trade in their national currencies, expose the reality of the Dollar Empire…
The Non-$ Bloc media won’t show courage and conscience, and state the simple truth of private currencies, fake democracies, the Empire’s Rulers, … and yet their populace would expect courage from the good $-Bloc populace. What is this double standard? One can only lead by examples. It is time to act with conscience and courage.
As regards Russian central bank policy, a keen observation by Glazyev in 2018 :
We need to look at those who did not get into the “Kremlin report”
https://glazev.ru/articles/153-geopolitika/56930-nado-smotret-na-tekh-kto-ne-popal-v-kremlevskiy-doklad
“I’m on the list all the time, I was on their List No. 1 on sanctions initially. It is necessary to look not at those who were on the list, but at those who did not get into it. From my point of view, the main criterion of personnel policy in our country in the conditions of the “war” with America should be getting into the US sanctions list. Those who got there have no suspicion of being called American agents. And those who did not get in, I have a big question for them,” he said.
In Jan 2018, the US Treasury ALREADY had a list, Kremlin Report, of of around 200 Russians for future sanctions!
Except this is the plan. And has been since Covid-19. This Great Reset war is intended to damage NATO and the USA. Tilt power to China. Biden is a puppet not only of Neo-Cons, but of China. Indeed the political class of the West is owned by China. Is it any surprise that as puppets the actions they undertake destroy the West?
Peter Schweizer, author of the book “Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China,” said the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) entry into the WTO changed the global economic structure in large part because it unleashed the regime’s strategy of gaining control of America’s elite class so they would do Beijing’s bidding.
Schweizer calls this strategy “elite capture,” and the CCP’s plan was to target the top levels of big tech, entertainment, education, Wall Street, as well as politics.
“It’s going to give [the CCP] leverage over them [the elites] because once [the CCP has] sort of touched them and made them rich, or as some CCP officials have said, they’ve tasted the honey that they’ve been offered, they will not want to give it back, they will not want to give it up,” said Schweizer.
“So that gives enormous leverage to Beijing over elements of our leadership class.”
U.S. foreign policy and the conventional wisdom of the elite class was that if the West engaged with the CCP, it would become more liberal and less repressive of its own people, and it was this thinking that allowed the CCP to join the World Trade Organization (WTO) at the end of 2001.
Stegiel,
You’re mistaken in many assumptions. Before talking about China, please summarize the Empire’s stratagem to capture a nation, particularly Japan.
The Financial Empire had captured Russia in 1990s (Yeltsin era), and focused on capturing the ME in the early 21st Century, with an assumption that if it controlled global resources and private reserve currencies, then it can privatize, capture & control China. China was accepted in WTO so it will float Renminbi like Japan’s Yen. The Empire tried very hard for China to float Renminbi like Ruble, so it can create bubbles in China like Japan and capture it financially. However, China was smart to not make that mistake. The Empire’s plan called for China to float by 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. This would have been the end of China’s rise. China outsmarted the Financial Empire.
The Empire abused & discredited China during the 2008 Olympics. One doesn’t resort to a cultural war if they’re on the same team. Russia-Vladimir Putin openly stated its opposition to the unipolar order at the 2007 Munich conference. It was only after the 2014 Ukraine regime change, China & Russia started working together. This led to the Empire launching a trade war against China in 2016. How has the Empire since then thwarted China and ridiculed it? You’re forgetting the Hauwei’s Ming situation, berating during early 2020 Covid lockdown, restrictions on technology imports… One doesn’t treat a team member like that. Propagandist’s narrative fallacies can’t fool all.
Do you think Russia is going forward with “the Great Reset?” Asia, Africa, ME, LATAM,… have seen the Western double standards and aren’t onboard. You’re mistaken with your hypothesis. The Great Reset was FAKE.
Well as I view the plan which the men and women of globalist institutions are implementing with the Ukraine the win is baked into the cake, Russia is a catalyst for the next spiral of globalism. Day one of the Special Military Operation began the chemical process. Russia is in WHO, Russia is in the IMF, Russia is modern and integrates into the international world which actually exists like actually existing socialism which decomposed into this toxic morass of our time.
For Transnational Finance nation states are resource colonies and human beings ants.
The form of capitalism that is being consolidated on a planetary scale is not that which it had assumed in the West: it is, rather, capitalism in its communist variation, which unites an extremely rapid development of production with a totalitarian political regime. This is the historical significance of the leading role that China is taking on, not only in the realm of the economy in a narrow sense, but also – as the political use of the pandemic has so eloquently demonstrated – as a paradigm for the government of men. That the regimes established in so-called communist countries were a particular form of capitalism, specially adapted for economically backward countries and thus labelled ‘state capitalism’, was perfectly clear to anyone who knows how to read history; what was entirely unexpected, however, is that this form of capitalism, which seemed to have exhausted its function and was thus now obsolete, was instead destined – in a technologically updated configuration – to become the ruling principle of the current phase of globalized capitalism. Indeed, it is possible that today we are observing a conflict between Western capitalism, which used to exist alongside the ‘state of law’ and bourgeois democracy, and this new communist capitalism, a conflict in which the latter version appears to have emerged as the victor. What is certain, however, is that the new regime will combine the most inhumane aspects of capitalism with the most atrocious aspects of state communism, combining the extreme alienation of relations between people with an unprecedented social control.

Stegiel, no narrative fallacies, please. Your first comment was all about China-CCP. My response was completely related to China and asked pertinent questions. However, you didn’t respond to those questions and went on tangent to talk about Russia & capitalism. The reason you didn’t respond to the questions asked, is because the response will debunk your core hypothesis and cockamamie opinion.
Various Vladimir Putin speeches that the Saker has shared will debunk your propaganda about Russia. Your globalist propaganda that the globalist rulers are in control and driving geopolitical development is a fake theory. Please answer the questions on China and no digression.
Russia is cooperating with the WEF on the 4th industrial revolution and Sberbank is hosting another Cyber Polygon this July.
Russia followed and continues to follow WHO’s “pandemic” guidance and continues to cattle-tag its beloved citizens with genetic slurry injections.
Fact is the Globalist Cabal planned decades ago to cancel the dollar, shifting the financial centre to East, and let China rule under the Cabal’s command.
But something ran out of hand. Otherwise the Cabal wouldnt have praised China until 2014-2015 when OBOR was thrown on the table, turning on a coin demanding regime change in China ever since.
It got worse when Putin threw his Kalibr missiles on the table in 2015 and new hypersonic weapons in 2018.
Xi and Putin cheated! Stole the Heartland theory and exploited Western intellectual property, the NWO plan for themselves.
Morale and conclusion: “When you dig a grave for others, be careful not to……….a.s.o.”
Already on section four of the ‘Last World War’, which came out in 2016. There is ton of information about Ukraine as well as explaining the possibilities for the new financial system, which he is actively engaged in now. I wish the west had more people like. The man is truly a great.
https://www.defenddemocracy.press/the-last-world-war-the-u-s-to-move-and-lose-by-sergei-glazyev/
OK, he is a finance guy and purports to speak about how the SMO revealed the plans of ‘USNATO’ to destroy Russia and of course the thousands of sanctions (if counted individually) and all other shenanigans are proof
BUT
all those were known or predictable before the SMO.
More importantly he mentions the sinister plans to destroy the males. Now that’s not a financial/economic measure and since he does not elaborate I am inclined to think this refers to some real “revelations” of the SMO, namely the several scores of labs discovered in Ukraine where they were experimenting with ethnci-specific and gender-specific biological agents.
The sooner Russia blows open this nasty bomb the better. Even the most rabid russophic Ukrainians may do a double take when presented with this info.
Who do you think are dying (>42,000) in droves in trenches of the AFU?
If this is pushed along, Glazyev is correct. Who will do economic manufacturing, agriculture?
Before, this was called cannon-food.
With emigration and slaughter what will be left of Ukraine?
I don’t think the discussion of destroying the males of Ukraine needs the bio weapons angles though it is possible. Losing 50-100 thousand men in uniform is a sizeable amount of a already depopulated country. Demanding a largely Russian ancestry population to die in trench’s without artillery support is a form of mass murder. Putting nationalist cadre into large armed formations as a trump card against surrender is forcing the 1/2 ethnic Russian population to die for nothing. A kind of genocide if you ask me.
All is not doom and gloom. Russia still holds the best cards in her hand. While the West needs Ukrainian, Polish, Romanian and whatever else kind of Europeans to wear Russia down, the East has the most population on this planet. So all Russia needs to do is get on the phone to Rocket Man in North Korea or the Vietnamese and there will be enough manpower to grind Russia’s European opposition to dust. Lots of volunteers will also come from India and China. Russia already has the stockpiles of basic weaponry from Soviet times to equip them, all Russia needs to do is man the artillery and tanks to take the edge off most of the opposition and then the volunteers can do the mopping up. The war is already on territory outside Russia so this time round its not Russian civilians who are going to bear the brunt of it.
The Muslim world would also supply lots of volunteers, just have to promise them that they can kill Americans and Europeans who have been bombing them all the years and they will flock to the Russian banner in their millions. Have to place one Chechen with every 5 of them to maintain order thats all. Plus the Russians in Ukraine will definitely want to get some payback in with those who were killing them all the years, and there is all those mothballed t80 tanks in Ukraine which can be put to good use with the mopping up.
So Russia is holding a very good hand indeed. Zelensky will probably get a medal from Israel, hopefully posthumous, for the excellent job he is doing in getting Goyim to kill Goyim.
gT You got a point here. Think about the enduring North Koreans, Iranians, Indonesia, Cubans, Venezuela, m.m. There must be quite a lot of people pessed on the Empire out there :-D.
The Roe v. Wade decision and leak were curiously timed. Abortion and guns are the top political issues in America. It is guaranteed to provoke a reaction. Just how much is the question. African Americans will riot when they feel wronged, but they aren’t particularly passionate about abortion rights. In fact, Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, was a racist who was explicitly concerned with controlling the population of “lower races”. Abortion is however the top issue for white women, college educated voters, by far.
The real social order concerns are from food and energy shortages and inflation. Hungry people will riot. Adding a threat to abortion rights only adds fuel to a hot fire.
It looks to me like the Western oligarchs are looking to dump the game off the table, so to speak. The economics are such a mess that there’s no way to fix it within the current system parameters. Covid was used an excuse to pump the system full of dollars and distribute them to the oligarchic class to buy up the real value, e.g. real estate. The plebes will not be able to keep pace with all the funny money in the system and be decimated.
Next they’ll instigate social chaos to destroy the credibility of the fundamental institutions, like the Federal government. Once everything is broken they’ll return with a universal government proposal: they will restore peace and provide a basic subsistence income for everyone who professes allegiance and kill anyone who resists.
Individuals will be required to accept a digital ID (just introduced in France, and in the works in other countries) that will be tied to a Central Bank Digital Currency, which will be the currency UBI is paid in. The digital ID will allow complete control of individuals through IoT and phone monitoring. The need for hard control measures like police and prisons will be minimized by the fact that an offending person can just have their privileges and bank access cut via their digital ID at any time.
This looks to be the plan, i.e. The Great Reset. Can they pull it off? We’ll see.
You’re reading too much into the Roe v Wade leak. That was an opportunistic event by low-level Democrats designed to dominate this week’s news cycle. What news was it intended to displace? Mostly Trump’s domination of the GOP primaries over weak neocon adversaries which they saw coming. Biden’s denunciation of MAGA today is part of the same plan.
Curiously, this coincides with the actual beginning of the Russian offensive in the Donbas, as evidenced by last night’s nationwide missle strikes and Russian export controls on corporate profits to unfriendly nations.
Q-“ What news was it intended to displace? ”
The Gislaine Maxwell trial.
To prove the point… riddle me this… when did it start? When was it deferred to?
Where is being held?
I doubt more than 2 people on this thread can answer without a search engine.
Oh, and what costume did amber herd wear for her latest performance in court ?
Oh, and. The website leading the Roe v Wade outrage? Was registered 6 weeks prior to the leak.
Oh. And. The response from white, educated, economically comfortable women, has a vibe very similar to the pussy hat show of force in support of HRC and protesting Trumps election.
It was “her turn”.
The only way to defeat the evil swine if for all countries to issue their own currencies and take full control of their destiny back. That includes every EU country.
I think that the primary purpose of the current war in Ukraine is to find out who the real ennemy is and to cut the head of the monster. It seems to me the actual combattants on the Ukrainian side are just proxies as everyone on this site believes. My point is that the Anglo-Saxon countries are themselves proxies. The Anglo-Saxon democracies seem to have been hijacked. We all have our own ideas on who` is behind, but one needs to confront them so they come in the open and find their ultimate fate which is their destruction. Not an easy task.
Harold Wilson, former prime minister of the UK, referred to them as the Gnomes of Zurich.
I suggest taking that point up with Swiss Intelligence Service, SND :

Real ennemy is the Zionist entity linked to the City of London( US only provides ‘police’, EU on suicide mode as usefull idiots they don’t even understand the all thing).
Connecting the dots: greater Israel project + Israel 2.0 (ukraine + russia)
War in Syria, then ISIS Israel, maidan payback.
Zionists are behind WWI + WWII (pretext balfour declaration WWI), then WWII (shoah..), then ‘cold war’..etc…
Lavrov statement about Hitler jew blood does NOT arrive by mistake or surprise.
Message to the tribe to stop immediately otherwise face destruction.
Hamas welcomed in Moscow today, Hezbollah + Iran will follow this week.
BREAKING: US will destroy RU Fleet + subs Pentagon
Slovakia:
European economy will be destroyed without Russian oil.
Meanwhile the European Commission thinks otherwise because of its ideological hatred for Russia.
German greens want nuclear war
3/ Burbock trumpets that the government is preparing for the worst-case scenario – nuclear war.
Dear ministers!
Maybe instead of preparing for “worst case scenarios”, do something to avoid them? Return to adequate diplomacy with Russia?
4. Divert one more time USA attention to China somewhere else.
The Great Currency Reset and Why Europe is Trapped by Tom Luongo:
“There’s a lot of news flying around about the changes happening in global currency trading.From “Gas for Rubles” to “What the Hell is Going on With the Yen?” there are a lot of questions and very few answers as to what it all means and whose on which side of the divide. The Fed just hiked 50 basis points for the first time since 2000 and will be running off its balance sheet forcing the Treasury to stop issuing new debt at stupid rates. The European Union unveiled a sixth sanctions package against Russia which calls for a complete embargo of all Russian oil.
Further to this the EU is now aping what the Trump Administration tried to do to Iran in 2018, sanctioning all services, including insurance, to all shippers of oil from doing any business with Russia and sanctioned Russian banks. The bloc is proposing to ban European vessels and companies from providing services — including insurance — linked to the transportation of Russian oil and products globally as part of its new sanctions package, according to officials and a draft document seen by Bloomberg.
While member states are still wrangling over the terms, it’s a potentially powerful tool because 95% of the world’s tanker liability cover is arranged through a London-based insurance organization called the International Group of P&I Clubs that has to heed European law. These sanctions, effectively politicizing every aspect of international business and trade, are ultimately nothing more than short-term annoyances for Russia or anyone else. It betrays a mindset that cares nothing for the downstream effects of these actions and, if anything, betray the desperation felt in Brussels today about its position in the global market.
I’ve spilled hundreds of column inches trying to explain to the world that it is the EU’s totalitarian mindset based on their psychological imbalance and ideological need to be seen as the champions of humanity, that drives all of their decisions. The US is not so driven. We’re far easier to understand. We like power but only so long as it nets us a profit. This sanctions package is prima facie evidence of their insanity and what happens when, like a cornered animal, they are faced with an existential choice. The EU is built on a foundation of insulating its leadership from the vicissitudes of public opinion.
Populism is a four-letter word in the Eurocrat’s vocabulary. The consequences of this policy which was conceived of by the fart-sniffing buffoons at the World Economic Forum, The Davos Crowd, are irrelevant to them in the short-term. Yes, Europeans will suffer tremendously high inflation because, if successful at taking a majority of Russian oil off the global markets, will only ensure that prices go ballistic. Do you think the same people who have a stated depopulation agenda who mandated a 12% effective Pfizer vaccine and wasn’t tested at all on pregnant women lest they be barred from partaking of European society care one whit about the people they govern?
Of course not. I guess this is what they mean when they invoke “European values.”
So, keep that firmly in mind when you play through the following scenarios and what is really at stake for them and for us going forward. These are people who are only in power because they control the political process handed to them via a corrupt monetary system which institutionalizes the Cantillion effect of money printing to grant them unearned advantages in the market place.
As I’ve pointed out in previous articles, one of the strongest weapons Russia has in their arsenal is the world’s need for the commodities they produce and their ability now, with the global financial system teetering on the brink of collapse, to set the terms of payment for them.
Ronan Manly at Bullion Star recently wrote a great article which is, I believe, the foundational one for what’s going on in Russia. In it Manly goes over the steps being taken by the Russians to move away from a purely debt-based currency regime to a commodity-based one. This idea is promulgated by Sergei Glazyev, who is heading up the creation of a kind-of SDR for the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).
These moves are staunchly opposed by the Bank of Russia. I was asked by a Patron to elaborate on this dichotomy.
It looks to me like Glazyev’s plan for the new EAEU currency isn’t to make the ruble exchangeable for gold, like the old gold-backed USD, but to value it against the price of gold and 19 or so other commodities, plus the member countries’ currencies. The basket, including gold, will be a measure of value, a yardstick by which to compare the value of member currencies. The basket won’t be traded, its global value will just be tracked. Bank of Russia head Elvira Nabiullina is a dutiful IMF-trained midwit. She heads an organization that is not explicitly under Kremlin control, much like the Fed here. That said, Putin has more authority over the central bank because of the power of the Russian President and the reality that the Russian State is strong enough to dictate terms to its oligarchs, rather than the reverse here in the West.
But the Bank of Russia is still operationally run with IMF thinking.
My reply:
Yes, Nabiullina is a good IMF lackey. At the same time [Nikolai] Patruchev is saying the opposite. The Security Council is more powerful than the Bank of Russia. So, listen to Nabiullina the same way I listen to {US Treasury Sec. Janet] Yellen, as a mouthpiece for foreign powers.
Meamwhile [Jerome] Powell and the members of the Russian Sec. Council are telling you what’s going to happen…. A two-tiered ruble is coming in Russia and The Fed is pushing for fiscal discipline on Capitol Hill. The Bank of Russia is being set up to fail and be nationalized.
The EAEU will setup a commodity-backed SDR and Russia’s domestic ruble will be convertible to gold, while the international RUB, say RBO (Ruble offshore) will circulate to allow people to pay for imports.
My point in this reply is that backing the ruble in gold for domestic purposes and the EAEU’s commodity backed SDR are two separate issues. One is Russian domestic policy, the other is a feature of a new pan-Asian trade and foreign policy. Conflating these issues I think is a mistake. An easy mistake to make, mind you, but a mistake nonetheless.
Do You Think You’re Being Treated Unfairly? So, with that in mind we can now look at the current goals of Russia as it pertains to its current situation: How to break EU support for the war in Ukraine. That is, categorically, the most important issue for Russia going forward.
By setting up Gazprombank as a kind of Russian Ex-Im Bank for dealing with assholes, Russia now has a vehicle to ensure that they get whatever they want for their exports………………
Gazprombank will now sit on a pile of euros, dollars, yen, etc. which it has no intention of hedging the risk of. It has no need to hedge that risk because it can’t really use those euros, dollars, yen, etc. for anything because those banks are barred from doing business with it. So, Gazprombank will sell them to whoever wants them.
When I look around the world, now that the Fed is draining the world of US dollars, who needs these ‘unfriendly’ currencies?……………
The EAEU SDR that Sergei Glazyev is proposing is then the regional currency to tie everyone together and build a new trading bloc.
Remember, the EAEU is what the EU was supposed to be, a simple union with fair trading rules between members. Unlike the euro which overlaid Germany’s credit rating onto the whole continent creating a kind of internal mercantilism to Germany’s benefit, Glazyev proposes using a basket of commodities as the exchange rate for the common currency.
This is far fairer and will allow commodity producers to get paid properly for their exports and value-added economies to pay their true costs of production……..”

Your post was too long and has been edited. Everyone can read the full article at the link. Mod.
Thank you, Sergey. Hallelujah! A plan! Amid all the blither about how the US deep state is a bunch of idiots stumbling around with no plan and no understanding of the consequences of their actions, we have Sergey–like Michael Hudson–who says there is a plan, they are not fumbling around in the dark, they know what they are doing and they understand the deleterious implications for the world and their populations. The US has no interest in a war of tank armies on the plains of Europe. It dominates through lies, subversion, proxies, economic blackmail, media and message dominance, divide and rule, and what has come to be known as color revolutions. That’s how the US fights. The military is for intimidation, fear, and profits for the MIC, not for massive battles against strong opponents. The dismissive triumphalism of those who endlessly celebrate Russian military power and US stupidity and weakness are mistaken. Victory will be secured not by T-90s and superior military doctrine, but by economics because of the dynamic Mr Glazyev describes–and because China has Russia’s back.
I’m reposting a comment by Aguinaldo Junior listing foreign policy expert opinions of NAYOYO expansion I found on facebook. The White West knew what they were risking and just didn’t listen as domestic political concerns are much more important.
The war in Ukraine and the #Western strategic scholars who have been warning for years that it was coming if we stayed on track. Nobody listened to them and now they blame it only on Russia.
*WEST STRATEGIC THINKERS WHO WARNED ABOUT THE UKRAINE CONFLICT*
1. *George #Kennan, America’s foreign policy strategist*, the architect of US cold war strategy. As early as 1998, he warned that NATO’s expansion was a “tragic mistake” that should provoke a “bad reaction from Russia”.
2. *Henry #Kissinger*, in 2014. He warned that “for Russia, Ukraine can never be just a foreign country” and that the West therefore needs a policy aimed at “reconciliation”.
He was also adamant that “Ukraine should not join NATO”
3. *John Mearsheimer* – arguably the leading geopolitical scholar in the US today – in 2015: “The West is taking Ukraine down the path of spring and the end result is that Ukraine will be destroyed […] which we are doing is actually encouraging this outcome.”
4. *Jack F. Matlock Jr.*, US Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1987-1991, warning in 1997 that NATO expansion was “the deepest strategic mistake, [encouraging] a chain of events that could produce the most serious security threatens […] since the collapse of the Soviet Union”
5. Clinton’s Secretary of Defense *William Perry* explained in his memoirs that for him the enlargement of NATO is the cause of “the rupture in relations with Russia” and that in 1996 he was so opposed that “in the force of my conviction, I considered resigning”.
6. *Stephen Cohen*, a famous scholar of Russian studies, warning in 2014 that “if we move NATO forces to Russia’s borders […] it will obviously militarize the situation [and] Russia will not back down, that it’s existential”
7. *CIA Director Bill Burns* in 2008: “Ukraine’s entry into NATO is the brightest of all red lines for [Russia]” and “I have yet to meet anyone who sees Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests.” (He was then ambassador to Moscow in 2008 when he wrote this memo.) He is now director of the CIA. ’08 memo ‘Nyet Means Nyet: Redlines of Russia’s NATO Enlargement’
8. Russian-American journalist *Vladimir Pozner*, in 2018, stated that: The expansion of NATO in Ukraine is unacceptable to Russians, that there must be a compromise that “Ukraine, guaranteed, will not become a member of NATO” .
9. *Malcolm #Fraser, Australia’s 22nd Prime Minister*, warned in 2014 that “[NATO’s] eastward move is provocative, reckless and a very clear signal to Russia.” He adds that this leads to a “difficult and extraordinarily dangerous problem”.
10. *Paul #Keating, former Australian Prime Minister, 1997*: Expanding NATO is “a mistake that may ultimately fall in with the strategic miscalculations that have prevented Germany from taking its full place in the international system [ in the early 20th century]”
11. *Former US Secretary of Defense Bob Gates* in his 2015 memoir: “To act so quickly [to expand NATO] was a mistake. […] Trying to bring Georgia and Ukraine into NATO was really over the top [and] a tease”
12. *Pat Buchanan*, in his 1999 book A Republic, Not an Empire: “By moving NATO onto Russia’s front porch, we program a 21st century confrontation.”
13. In 1997, a group of individuals including *Robert McNamara, Bill Bradley and Gary Hart wrote a letter to Bill Clinton* warning that “the US-led effort to expand NATO is a political mistake of historic proportions” and that would “promote instability” in Europe. Today it’s fringe, a traitorous position.
14. *Dmitriy Trenin* expressed concern that Ukraine was, in the LT, the most potentially destabilizing factor in US-Russia relations, given the level of emotion and neuralgia triggered by its quest for NATO membership.
15. *Sir Roderic Lyne, former British Ambassador to Russia*, warned a year ago that “[pushing] Ukraine into NATO […] is stupid on every level.” He adds “if you want to start a war with Russia, this is the best way to do it”.
16. Even last year, *famous economist Jeffrey #Sachs*, writing a column in the FT warning that “NATO enlargement is totally misguided and risky. True friends of Ukraine and global peace should be asking for a US commitment and of NATO with Russia.”
17. *Fiona Hill* :”We warned [George Bush] that Mr. Putin would view the measures to bring Ukraine and Georgia closer to NATO as a provocative move that would likely provoke preemptive Russian military action.
One important thing this conflict has shown is that the West cannot be trusted to hold another countries assets. They will, for whatever reason they come up with, steal assets. This realization will destroy Western banking.
An excellent update from Alex C:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOVfiosFWeA
“We” are at war with Russia, and now we admit it. Ukraine is just cannon fodder. When we run out of Ukrainians to throw at the Russians we’ll throw some Romanians and Poles. BUt awe will not stop until “victory is won,” said the Skull.
Thanks. That was illuminating.
I am totally confused both by the article and the explanatory comments. I am also distressed and scared for the future of Russia. I believe most readers would end up with apprehension and hopelessness. we need clarification desperately.
Conflicting opinions, misunderstandings, half truths, personal agendas and even more work against clarity.
You would be amazed at the mass of people who feel the same as you have well expressed, who variously remain silent, talk too much, get depressed, resort to alcohol or drugs and sell out. even those with a religious outlook cannot find the inner strength and quietude to remain focussed,.
As has been said many times. we live in a world where a very real spiritual war is happening.
Throw your ego out the window and smell the coffee would be my message to anyone, it takes incredible courage to face evil, of which fundamentally we are all capable of, that’s the tough reality, but equally, we are all capable of love, goodness and understanding
So yes, we desperately need clarification, the enemies of humanity, well, hardly. I guess money interests are somewhat crucial in the battle, manifesting in invested behaviours, so to say.
Search for the clarifications, follow the spirit of those who have the inner strength to speak wisdom, not the money trail to evil, the voices of the spirit of clarity are here, in the world, and are speaking now!
I’m American, and they are doing the same thing here. We don’t want war. America will burn. That’s the plan. To genocide 7.5 million humans around the world, and enslave the rest. You and I both know who’s responsible. History repeating itself.
Sergey Glazyev is the herald of Davos and what he is proposing is to dissolve Russia in China by transferring it to the BRICS digital yuan. ((NB: BRICS, CEEA, CE and even EU are a single project of globalists, a New World Order)
If Russia follows the idea of Glazyev (Davos), it will cease to exist.

So the bank has been subverting Russia for decades, to the benefit of speculators foreign and domestic, and continues to do so. Let’ s accept that; I certainly do.
Who therefore is at fault? Who has been the big boss these 20 plus years? Was it the guy who just cravenly aplologized to Bennett for something Lavrov said? And was that craven apology worthy of the President of a Great Power?
Who is at fault?
People are seriously not up to date.
There was no apology. I’m not going to repost a lot of stuff, but go and read the sitrep, about this ‘apology’ that was not.
Who is at fault is the craven one who wants to own the world in its own megalomaniac single polar style. It’s the falling empire.
Russia under Putin understands that, and no matter what and knowing the Russians, they will achieve their goal by all means. The ultimate price will be the demise of the western world that is doing everything, under the US egemony, to make it happen. If Russia fails, it will be at their demise but at the cost of casualties of epic scale in the world. As Alexander Dugin states, ultimately it’s an ideological war, an existential one for Russia that seems to want to fight and knowing that the ultimate price could be the one that we all hope that it will not occur. Russians do not bluff like the westerners do. My humble opinion.
Wow!!
I am speechless!
Thank you so much
