The Russians have been so successful in gathering their country together because they come to other people and ask them about their needs, wants and dreams. Preferably in their own languages. Americans come to other nations and dictate what they want, need, and dream all in the English language. The West is not far behind. Here are the Russian anonymous person’s commentary on the “commentary” of the EU institution, not intended to be read by Russian “savages.”
How the West sees an “ideal” Russia?
• a Russia without an independent foreign policy.
• a Russia surrendering its security and economical concerns in the name of “appealing to Europe”.
• a Russia which abandons any thoughts of allying itself with China because the EU are the good guys, and China is a “meanie”.
• a Russia that MUST “return” Crimea to Ukraine
• a Russia that will be held personally accountable for any failures in implementation of Minsk agreement.
The current Kiev government can do nothing regarding their responsibilities according to the Minsk-2 accord (with the blessing of the EU, it’s implied), but Russia must be held responsible for EVERYTHING. And be sanctioned appropriately, should it falter in its duties. After all, “sanctions should be a slow squeeze that gradually reduces Russia’s freedom of manoeuvre and thereby reminds it of its misdeeds and Europe’s displeasure.”
This “commentary” had been published by the Powers That Be of the EU – and that everything written herein bodes nothing good for Russia in the foreseeable future, no matter what. Russians, being the citizens of Russia, tend to react very negatively to some Western countries’ decision to “deal” with them. And the reaction will follow. As it turned out, the Westerners of old (who also had some “long- term problems with Russia”) were truly… mortified by such manner of counter-reaction.
Newspaper Izvestia published yesterday thorough research tracking the financial sources of the ultraliberal publication “Novaya Gazeta“ (New Newspaper). Novaya Gazeta that published 100 articles about MH17 implicating Russian government in each of them has been financed by the government of Denmark and Soros foundations. The administration of Novaya Gazeta and other liberals declared the investigation by Izvestia a treason. Izvestia rebuffed them by saying that they are committed to uncovering the truth and that they have nothing in common with the anti-Russian activities of NG.
In place of “color revolutions,” and “springs,” we are now witnessing the rise of the anti sovereign government putsches portrayed as public utility revolutions. I have no patience for all those young and healthy men and women in Lebanon, screaming and demanding for somebody, anybody, to come and clean after them their own trash. Organize, put on rubber gloves, pull up a truck, and start loading trash on a truck. Do you guys and girls want a better life? Stop waiting for your government to pick up after you. Do it yourself!
My heart and soul goes out to people of Libya and Syria suffering from European and American aggression. On the plus side, if the refugee crisis won’t destroy the EU, nothing will.
Germany’s social democrat leaders wants Eastern European countries to admit more refugees. Since entering the democratic heaven, three Baltic sisters lost 50% of their population. No one can find it, it just evaporated without a trace. I would vote for them to receive 2.5 million North African refuges, just to counterbalance blondness of the ethnically correct population. The ethnically correct Europeans, finally, can take a pause hating distant Russians and start hating ethnically incorrect non-Europeans moving in next door.
However, to transport any refugees to Ukraine would be a big mistake. They will be pushed right back to EU by the coming tide of millions of Ukro- Nazis taking refuge from those “mad” anti-fascists from Novorossia.
I can’t wait to see the hordes of Ukro- Nazis trained by NATO, colliding with the hordes of CIA trained ISIS terrorists, colliding with the self-taught Polish football fans. This will be an epic battle. They will be fighting with one hand, while taking selfies with another.
Even the Guardian started to lose it’s condescending cool, “Global financial collapse will solve this problem. These economic migrants won’t be so keen on the UK when we have 20% unemployment and no Welfare budget for them. Bring it on China.”
And that bring us back to the most advantageously placed for these particular crises, Ukraine. Ukraine has been the most economically mismanaged country in the world. It had to be put into complete desperation in order to breed fascism. Ukraine is a huge human experiment. Comfortably situated people wouldn’t go burning and shooting each other. For the past 25 years, since Ukraine left the Soviet Union, it was under supervision and direct management by the US state department and IMF, which is the financial arm of the US State department. Ukraine’s economic freefall for the quarter of the century has been masterminded and organized by the US to have fertile economic ground for growing fascism. Oh, wait I have already said that.
Ukraine’s GDP performance is worst in the world from 1991-2015 [source]
According to data of the World Bank, Ukraine’s real GDP performance for the last 24 years has been the worst in the world, writes Sergey Korablin, a doctor of economics in Kyiv, in an August 22 article in ZN.ua.
Out of 166 countries in the world whose GDP statistics are available to researchers, GDP growth for the period of 1991-2014 declined in only five countries. Ukraine’s decline was 35 per cent. The other four, negative growth countries were Moldova (-29%), Georgia (-15.4%), Zimbabwe (-2.3%) and the Central African Republic (-0.9%). All five countries are owned by the IMF and the World Bank. Three countries out of five are the Russia haters. Hating Russia comes with a hefty price, it seems.
As Poroshenko said in his August 31th speech, “Ukrainians biologically belong in Europe.” For Ukrainians to be a member of the EU is like any other bodily function, say vomiting or diarrhea.

Biden thinks international agents, possibly Russian, who objected to his board membership with a Ukrainian gas company set up a fake account to discredit him. However, IP mapping suggests otherwise…
Of course the Europe political scams still managed to insert Russia in the middle of the refugee disaster that they have created and mitigated. Joschka Fischer, of German Green party, “And yet many Europeans feel threatened once again, not by Russia, which is aggressively pushing outward against its neighbors, but by refugees and immigrants – the poorest of the poor. While hundreds of boat people have drowned in the Mediterranean Sea this summer, voices have emerged in almost every corner of Europe, 26 years after the fall of the Iron Curtain, calling for isolation, mass deportations, and the construction of new walls and fences. Throughout Europe, xenophobia and open racism are running rampant, and nationalist, even far-right parties are gaining ground.”
“We naturally want to get the political environment back to a state where sanctions can be lifted,” Merkel said Thursday in a speech in Vienna. “We have so many international problems to tackle that it would be desirable to return to constructive cooperation” with Russia, she said.” Oh, no, Merkel. You won’t make Russia to solve your problems.
The Western blame of Russia and China for the European refugee status has started. Peter Lavelle’s, Russia’s knight in shining armor, discussion on refugee crises on RT TV Western-made refugee crisis
We are watching very carefully how the EU and the US repackaging their anti-Russia and anti-China propaganda and laying blames for human and economic disasters handmade by the West on these two innocent nations.
According to LFT the local (in China) social media is saying that explosions in China are in retaliation to PBOC dumping US treasuries and CNY devaluation. The PBOC devalued their currency (Aug 11) and the industrial depot at Tianjin exploded (Aug 12), then after the second devaluation Shandong exploded (Aug 22). These explosions were followed by the explosion in Japan of a US supply depot that supplies US special forces in the pacific rim (Aug 23). Now there is a third explosion (Aug 31). Watch for explosions in US commercial zones (outside of CONUS) and military supply facilities. If this happens, it could be a confirmation of low intensity warfare between China and the US (started by the US of course).
Russian bloggers were very disappointed when Kiev Rada storming Right Sector thugs, while throwing grenades and cutting the security servicemen with scalpels did not produce neither Putin’s portraits, nor wads of Russian rubles.
Ukro-Nazi, Igor Gumenyuk, who threw a hand grenade, has been on the active military service and a member of the special battalion (death squad) “Sech” of the Right Sector. He was supposed to go back to war with Donbass in two days. Nonetheless, hostilities around Kiev’s Rada were declared to be a “Russia’s provocation.” Putin, in accord with an ancient Ukro tradition, was blamed for everything. Images.

Just a reminder that an EU-Ukraine Agreement of Free Trade Area will enter into force on 1 January 2016. Europe prepares to flood Ukraine with its cheap low quality goods, so Ukraine could place its barcode on them and in turn to flood Russia, disrupting the Russia’s economy and trade. To prevent this, Russia will stop any Ukrainian goods from entering the Russia’s territory. Right now, Russia is the biggest buyer of Ukraine made products. Ukraine, and its European partners have seen nothing yet.

September 1 – Companies with Ukrainian licenses issued prior to Crimea’s reunification with Russia will no longer have access to energy resources under the Black and Azov Seas if such activity is seen as a security threat by Russia, the government said in a statement on Tuesday.
Before Crimea’s reunification with Russia in March 2014, Ukraine’s state-owned Chornomornaftogaz owned 17 hydrocarbon fields, including 11 natural gas fields, four gas condensate fields, and two oil fields, along with 13 offshore platforms in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov.
Among foreign companies interested in Crimea’s offshore hydrocarbon assets were ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell and Petrom.
As ZH remands everyone that “The Myth Of A Russian ‘Threat’” is the relentless propaganda war.
Not a week goes by without the Pentagon carping about an ominous Russian “threat”. The Pentagon’s rhetorical games also serve to mask a real high-stakes process; essentially an energy war – centering on the control of oil, natural gas and mineral resources of Russia and Central Asia. Will this wealth be controlled by oligarch frontmen “supervised” by their masters in New York and London, or by Russia and its Central Asian partners? Thus the relentless propaganda war.

2. On August 29, 2015 After a failed attempt to advance on the territory of Donetsk People’s Republic, the entire 40th battalion of 72 brigade of Ukraine Armed Forces ran abandoning its position and leaving behind weapons, 21 dead and many wounded near Starognatovka – Belaya Kamenka
Батальон ВСУ бежал с поля боя под Волновахой, позорно бросив САУ, — боец «АТО»
After that, some of them showed up on social media explaining their retreat by a fact that the battle was “a sheer madness.” Right now a couple of major theories exist to explain their behavior. First, that Ukrainian military don’t want to fight with their compatriots, however being comfortable with bombing civilians. The second theory is that chaotic ran from the battlefield and abandoning all their weaponry, wounded, and dead is the result of being trained by the American instructors. And finally, that by running, 40th battalion was trying to lure Novorossian fighters to follow them and to get into a setup trap. It must be one of the brilliant ideas of American military strategists. They always misread the reality on the ground, however. They never get anything right. The simple truth is that Novorossia fighters are not attracted to male asses across the fields. That’s why they never follow running Ukro- Nazis.
Overall, it’s a good move for any Ukrainian battalion. Running improves health and extends longevity. They have to survive in order to slave and pay back 40% of their GDP to the Templeton Investment Foundation. I almost feel like buying its stocks now.

by Rostislav Ishchenko
Если войны не будет, или второй донецкий референдум
Ростислав Ищенко, обозреватель МИА «Россия сегодня»
First, as a result of the economic blockade of Donbass by Ukraine, economies of DPR and LPR were refocused on Russia (albeit via South Ossetia).
Second, as a result of the financial blockade of DPR/LPR by Ukraine, the Republics introduced the so-called multi-currency system (the hryvnia/dollar/ruble), which in fact freed them from the Kiev’s control and placed them under an umbrella of the ruble (more than 80% of cash turnover — RUR).
Third, the administrative blockade by Ukraine pushed the Republics to their own documents of identification. However, it became clear that these documents (due to the lack of recognition of DPR/LPR by the world community) have no legal status even in Russia. Now, the obvious choice is to grand Russia’s passports to the entire population of the Republics.
Fourth, in the last days of August, Russian media suddenly had a revelation and began discussion the possibility of holding in DPR/LPR referendum on accession to Russia this autumn.
If the first two points could be a forced reaction to external circumstances, the issuance of Russian passports is a political decision. Recognizing the population of DPR/LPR as Russian citizens means to assume a serious responsibility. The fact is that Russia is obligated to protect its citizens regardless of region of residence and regardless of when and how they acquired citizenship, by birth twenty years ago, or received it only yesterday by refusing Ukrainian citizenship. It is clear that all the millions of residents of Donbas won’t move to Russia. Half of them have already left their homes, and this is most likely the limit. Moreover, many plan to return and some have already returned. Therefore, Russia has to protect its citizens in their place of residence — in DPR/LPR.
Given the fact that Russian passports will be an only document making it possible to legally move outside the tiny territories controlled by the militia, we can assume that with really massive certification will get them the majority of the remaining territories of the DPR/LPR residents. In addition, according to the Federal migration service of the Russian Federation, over a million people have already emigrated to Russia from Ukraine (mostly from Donbas). Many of them will also take the opportunity to obtain Russian citizenship in the Donbass.
In the short term, the population of Russian citizens in Donbass People’s Republic and Lugansk People’s Republic will be larger than Abkhazia, South Ossetia, or Transnistria. It will come to the point that while Kiev killing its own citizens is certainly not good, but it seems like an internal matter (at least the U.S. in this case, unlike Libya, is considered so), but when Kiev starts killing Russian citizens, the provision of the Constitution requires from the Kremlin to intervene to protect. The difference between a good will and the Constitution is huge.
Finally the most important point. Even before the beginning of issuing the Russian citizenship to everyone, DPR/LPR gave the leak that immediately after the October elections, tentatively in November or December of this year, they plan to hold a referendum on reunification of the DPR and LPR with the Russian Federation.
Are the last two points the most significant? Information about the plans to hold a referendum appeared and was widely distributed before the start of this plan implementation. Did the Kremlin want “our friends and partners” to have knowledge about it and factor it into their plans? In fact, what they are saying to the West controlled Kiev is “don’t attack until the end of September. We will hold a general certification of the population with the Russian passports, followed by a referendum in which the citizens of Russia will vote for the return to Russia. And then we’ll talk with you from the completely different political positions”.
Will Kiev let Donbass go? Ichenko thinks that no. The US needs a proxy war with Russia. in which Russia is called an “aggressor.”
What would come next, after the referendum for re-unification with Russia?
First, this referendum is not binding for Russia. Moscow might take long time to “think,” and use the fact of a referendum to strengthen his negotiating position, formally repeating the mantra of commitment to the territorial integrity of Ukraine, but hinting that since March 2014 years circumstances have seriously changed for the worst for the Kiev side, so a package of demands to the regime has naturally grown (considering that Kiev even the previous one was not able to fulfill).
Second, the authorities of DPR and LPR have not defined the boundaries of their competence. In some cases they talk about the area boundaries. In Donbass the working term is Novorossia, and there is a working Parliament of Novorossia. The governments of the Republics periodically talk about the liberation of the whole of Novorossia, as an important priority. What’s Novorossia? Most use this tern to define 8 regions in the South and East of Ukraine (Odessa, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhya, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Donetsk and Luhansk). Some mix in the Kirovograd region. Others highlight Kharkiv and Sumy in the North in an independent Union — Slobojangina, considering the Donbas region as an autonomous region. In General, the borders of Novorossia is not defined, and expand or contract arbitrarily.
Third, Zakharchenko promised several times that the militia will come to Kyiv, and Lviv. By the way, promised, quite rightly, the war cannot be finished until the fascist beast is destroyed in his lair.
Thus, the question of territorial competence of the governments of the DPR and LPR and of the Parliament of Novorossia is not defined and theoretically can apply as to “some areas of Donetsk and Lugansk regions”, as they say in Kiev, so to the entire Ukraine. In general, the limits of the governments outreach during the civil war are determined only by the capabilities of their armies.
Therefore, it’s not a fact that Kiev will be able to declare today’s front line as the borders. However, in case Kiev decides to recognize the independence of Donbass, it will open up opportunities for further legitimate entries into Russia. The struggles of the past year and a half become worth it. It also may increase anti-junta movements in Kharkov, Odessa, and other cities of Novorossia. Kiev is unlikely to succeed in organizing a new army and throwing it to suppress the Kharkov People’s Republic and Odessa People’s Republic. Potential participants of the death squads will remember how a year and a half they fought against the DPR and LPR only for Kiev to achieve a peace deal on worse conditions than the ones offered in March 2014, when Donbass only wanted federalization.
At the begging of 2014, Washington was trying to make Russia to choose between bad and the worst. Now, Moscow has the situation flipped.
Now Washington will have to choose lesser of two evils. They can either take a risk to the discontent of its European allies. If Washington initiates aggression of Kiev against Donbass, it will bury Minsk Agreement and deprive the EU of arguments in discussions with Moscow. The US can wait and watch, as in the framework of the Minsk Agreement Moscow slowly, with obvious pleasure and at the comfortable pace, digesting the entire Ukraine, starting with Donbas. But Washington will have to support and contain useless Kiev regime as long as Russia will be ready without stress to eliminate it.

Девальвация рубля открывает для российских производителей новые экспортные рынки
I would never use vedomosti as my source, since it’s liberal and anti-Russia, however, it put together some interesting data. Keep in mind that this article explanation of rapid expansion of Russia’s agricultural sector and export into Asian markets, is that due to cheap ruble that makes the costs of labor very cheap. They refuse to factor in a simple fact that until a year ago Russia was buying all those products instead of producing them. What’s really important that Russia from a major buyer of beef, pork, sugar, honey and so on is turning into a major producer.
Russia is looking to replace Canada’s grain trade for the Chinese market. Case in point, China only buys grains from Russia and Canada. Russia and China trade now in national currencies and barters to avoid dollar. Canada currently supplies 6 million tons of cattle feed grains to China for dollars. Russia is ready to supply this amount of product to China, and to the other participants of the Asian market, leaving Canada in a dust. Russia is also ready to become the largest supplier of pork to China and other Asian markets. Russian producers are also looking to up the amount of corn (currently at 50,000 tones to China and 566,000t to Korea) and soybeans to China.
The same goes for chemical and bio-chemical industries. many Western companies produce their products in Russia to sell in Asian markets. BSH Hausgerate GmbH, L’Orеal, Unilever, Oriflame, P&G, Candy, Hoover, Renault-Nissan, and Volkswagen are among those who are expending production in Russia.
Canada, which is officially in recession, due to low oil prices, looks at a long way down if it also loses Asian markets for its grain producers.

Now, in September we are told that the Great Petrodollar Unwind Could Be $2.5 Trillion Larger Than Anyone Thinks [source]
“The virtuous circle that has sustained the dollar and buoyed USD assets for decades has definitively been broken. Now, with China’s Treasury liquidation serving to exacerbate the pressure from the demise of the petrodollar, it’s critical to take stock of accumulated petrodollar reserves in order to understand how large the unwind could ultimately be in a worst case scenario. As it turns out, narrowly focusing on official FX reserves could understate the size of petrodollar accumulation by some $2.5 trillion.
In short, China’s FX management means that Beijing has joined the global USD asset liquidation party which was already gathering pace thanks to the unwind of the petrodollar system.”
Also, for decades the petrodollar monopoly has been used by USG, Wall St. and Corp. USA as a political and economic weapon, fomenting hatred toward the US. The only ones who don’t get this are the American public. They keep believing “they hate us for our freedom“.
California Water Wars: Another Form of Asset Stripping?
“Primary” water — water newly produced by chemical processes within the earth that has never been part of the surface hydrological cycle. Created when conditions are right to allow oxygen to combine with hydrogen, this water is continually being pushed up under great pressure from deep within the earth and finds its way toward the surface where there are fissures or faults. This water can be located everywhere on the planet. It is the water flowing in wells in oases in the desert, where there is neither rainfall nor mountain run-off to feed them.
A study reported in Scientific American in March 2014 documented the presence of vast quantities of water locked far beneath the earth’s surface, generated not by surface rainfall but from pressures deep within. The study confirmed “that there is a very, very large amount of water that’s trapped in a really distinct layer in the deep Earth… approaching the sort of mass of water that’s present in all the world’s oceans.”

Her notes start on January 2015 and ends in August 2015. Her last entry states that she is preparing to flee Germany.
In brief: In Germany sex with animals is legal. German Catholic church stopped baptizing children. In many German schools pork products like sausages and ham are banned for lunches. School Christmas breaks are now being called winter breaks. Many companies ask workers do not eat during Ramadan at work. Public swimming pools ask people to swim in their clothes. If someone speaks negatively about all these, they are being called a “nazi.”
Russia has a myth about “prosperous” Germany. It’s completely false. German pensioners are digging trash in search for empty bottles. 12.5 million of Germans live below the poverty line. They appeared unexpectedly, like an avalanche. (My guess it’s all started when Germany tried to grab Ukraine, and got sanctioned by Russia.) People with some knowledge are saying that Muslims are being ferried into Germany to start the war with Russia. Russians again are enemies and “Subhumans, untermenschen” Germans are being brainwashed into believing that Siberia is a separate country called Country of Siberia in the Eastern Europe. Siberia is never called Russia on German TV.
Germany’s new name is “Deutschland ist Einwanderungsland! – Germany without borders. German’s Green party is not an ecological party, but the Muslim party. Germany has adopted new standards of living, remarkably similar to Soviet allowing only up to 16m2 per person. The government demands people with spare rooms to take in refugees. There are also force families to share apartments, to make them communal. German court jailed an 87 year old woman for not paying for a bus ride. Her pension is 500EU and her rent is 470EU. A German pastor came up with an initiative for health insurance to pay for sex services to male refugees. Ukrainian prostitutes are rejoicing. This is the Euro- integration at its best.
Remember the times when the “better” Western countries were laughing at Soviets for communal apartments. Now, the government just move refugees into apartments of Germans and making them communal by force.
The author says that all these and more is a payback for hating Russia, and for 27 million Russian people they killed. She says that Germans has never condemned what they had done to Russia. Their new idea is that they were “saving Russians from Stalin.”
They wanted Slavic slaves? The Great Invasion of Europe is their punishment for hating Russians.
She writes about the end of the European civilization. Until 14th century Europe was Muslim. It’s all coming back now with the vengeance.
German TV stations run tolerance courses saying that refugees might not know how to use European toilets, so it’s traditional for them to have their biological needs done outside, on the streets, or children’s playgrounds. Four of her family’s bicycles were stolen. She decided not to buy anymore.
The author writes how she is terrified of hate that Germans demonstrate towards Russians. For an exemption of very few sober voices, the German society is ready for a command to attack. Once, when Russia decided to pull out of the international space project, everyone started insulting Russia saying that Russians will build the next space station from “vodka bottles.” When the author asked how many space stations Germany built, she was called a “Stalin’s bitch.” “Russian” is an insult word in German language. The hate towards Russia is boiling in every German soul.
“What if they start a war?” the author asks. “How can we let Germans to kill us again?”
Germans, however, worship Americans. The author decided to flee Germany, after they officially announced that it was “Zionists” who caused the refugee crises in Europe. Not NATO bombing countries, not Saint America, not Germany’s military complex looking for new markets, but “Zionists and Jews.”
German military started drills in preparation for a war against Russia. As Germans are joking, “nuclear war is a local affair, it’s going to be very good for Russia.”
Refugees are saying that money and instructions for their trip to Europe they have received from some American organizations.
On June 8th, Bundestag has allowed refugees to enlist into military.
The author lists an epidemic of sexual assaults on women, crimes against law enforcement. The return of medieval diseases like lice, and bubonic plague. The unemployment is reaching 70% among Germans, but the refugees are getting jobs as priority.
The author says that Merkel is destroying the country with the speed of a graduate from the Higher School of Economics (Die Freie Universität Berlin und die Higher School of Economics in Moskau (HSE) erweitern ihre Kooperation in der Forschung und Ausbildung)
The author says that the Eastern Germans don’t believe pro-refugee propaganda. The Western Germans believe everything their government tells them. [source]
Germany is Europe, if you weaken Germany by flooding it with Muslims Germany and hence Europe will have no energy left to resist the US.
Russia should arrange gatherings in Germany with whole pigs roasting over open fires with lots of beer and vodka available. All the East Germans and a lot of the West Germans would then want to become Russians so that they can drink their alcohol and eat their pork in peace.
Maybe they need those immigrants as cannon fodder for their next war….
Btw, Scott, the links of the MIG and SU35 in this SITREP are pretty cool!!
The difficulty is, that education standards are not the same anymore as during Soviet East-German times. And that the western zombification MSM machine has done a “good jobe” degenerating the brains.
We are talking about 2 or almost 3 generations of jobless East-Germans in certain urban and rural areas.
Sadly some of them feel rather attracted to Hitler. Real communists are nearly 100% extinct here.
Most “intellectuals” on the other hand feel connected to the Green party.
Then you have to remains of a middles class, the ones who earn a good pay. They elect Merkel’s party and believe most TV Propaganda.
There is not very much in between.
Maybe 20% of Germans have a Pro-Russian view, maybe more. Due to different motivations. But they are not organized at all. Forget the Germans. Too little too late.
@Scott: Man, somebody should pay you for your unbelievable amount of perfect work. I think 2000 EUR would hardly be enough for this loooong SitRep.
Thanks for translating the essentials of http://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/2366917.html into English.
That’s what I always tried to tell you all, but a year ago nobody could only imagine such things and many thought at first I’m a troll sitting somewhere else, not in Berlin.
I cannot respond to the individual points, just too many.
But big thanks for providing us the possibility to read your weekly Encyclopedia.
Only one correction: The poverty in Germany did not start with the sanctions against Russia. It was here all the time, but nobody wanted to see it. The reasons? —>> End of an economical cycle, just like 1914 or 19[29-39], migration from EU’s periphery countries to Germany, computer revolution, automation, final stages of a Monopoly game. And: For the migrants there is always enough money!!! Only not for our own elderly or children. It’s going on like that for decades, exponentially growing.
What she writes about the Social Democrats and even more so the Green Party is 100% true.
We have only traitors, zombies, gays, and Islam fetishists (you recognize Green Party symphatizers from 1km away, because they are not quite right in their scull, but we have millions of them). They ignore “welcome Islam” but ignore the fact that they will be shot first, if ISIS one days declares Europe their “Caliphate”.
This lady’s biography is almost as crazy as my own.
I want to flee to Russia, too. And in case of war I will stand on Russia’s side.
I had already posted the following comment a few hours ago, but it fits much better into your SitRep’s comments section, so I think in this special case it won’t harm, if it gets posted again:

Thank you Martin. I confess that I thought that in Germany there were so many highly educated and thorough people– with a Teutonic grasp of detail you know? Ich bin ein von Blucher, and 30 years ago in NYC all the Eastern Europeans I met were decently intellectual and introspective. So there are only so many civilized people left now?
You know, the NWO has well and truly made war on us. It’s as if all their think tanks studied what it is that whole human beings require, and then systematically deprived us of those things. But history isn’t made by the masses. It’s made by only a few percent, and it’s up to us to see that we get a better world. We can’t possibly be beaten by a collection of corrupt gangsters. And even mental weaklings will often fight for their survival, provided someone tells them what to do.
Hi Penelope,
thanks for your encouraging comment.
However, what you say about percentages may be right in terms of numbers. But do you think we belong to the 0.1% who can make a change? Well, we are in fact much more than them. But it will be very tough to bring them into prison.
But you are right: We must try it, it is our duty!
A lot of this “Russia-hate” in Ukraine is phony.It is meant to just appeal to the lowest of the ultra-nationalists.An example (one of countless) is this report.The translation is horrible.But everyone can figure it out:
“The son of Ukrainian people’s deputy was done on the wedding in the Crimea under the Russian flag”
The son of Ukrainian people’s deputy Eugene Balytsky – Alexander the wedding was done on the Russian Crimea on a yacht with a flag of Russia.
Told activist Nikolai Kovalyov.
“The yacht in Sevastopol in Balaklava Bay, in the occupied Crimea, celebrated his own marriage August 29 young Alexander Balitchi – the son of People’s Deputy Balytsky. The yacht under the Russian flag, “- he wrote on his page on the social network Facebook.
Kovalev also published a photo from the same boat, which was made in May this year.
“Sasha Balitchi left. Picture taken in May this year in the same place – Balaklava bay. And Akvafresh there, “- said the activist.

Sorry, but Cassads article about Germany is over the top. just like any EU country it has a mountain of problems, but most Germans are hard working, decent people. I tend to visit our neighbour about once a year, for camping and bike rides.
Ah, really? Where does he live? In the South-West near the border tu Austria and Switzerland?
Cheers from East-Berlin
Err, foregeive me being tired.
Of course your neighbor is not a person but you mean Germany itself.
You can only be from a western neighbor country (I personally bet you are from France or Belgium [because folks from the Netherlands or Denmark would see something different here]).
Also, have you ever undertaken one of your bike rides into certain arabic or turkish ghettos where there are less than 10% of school children of a class native germans (getting beaten for being non-believers on a daily basis)?
Well, you won’t read such things in “established” news papers, and TV will always claim the xact opposite.
During highschool I jobbed as Pizza driver in the Arab Ghetto of West-Berlin (it was after the fall of the wall). After a lot of trouble they had forbidden me to ever go into this entire area again. They aid it’s _their_ area.

Whatever – there are huge problems.
The toxity of everything is depending on its quantity.
Those numbers of migrants coming to Geramny, France, UK are simply too large.
It does already lead to the first violence at this minute.
And whenever they feel that they don’t get enough social benefits and cash$$$ for nothing, those millions will definitely start a revolution or join ISIS.
While many Europeans are also tired of the situation. Please explaion me how you think this will not lead to a civil war in central Europe if 2 millions come next year??
Sorry, something went wrong posting: I wanted to post as Rootman, from the Netherlands, Not anonymous..
Martin, the massive immigration everywhere is to make the country ungovernable by her citizens. And to break your solidarity to your culture. It’s not so bad here in California. Our immigrants are from Mexico or further South– the grand majority young families. They’re nice, have menial jobs and are not ready for any intellectual or political consideration.
But among them, too, so much has been lost from the previous generation. The older people– of the generation of their parents– have such a marked culture of caring and respect for other people, and even more calm ability to reflect upon ideas.
Almost I am convniced that something physical has happened to make such a distinction between generations.
That’s a very racist comment if there ever was one! California was Spanish, then Mexican before it was stolen by Polk’s premeditated war that took 1/2 of Mexico’s territory. If you lack Spanish or Mexican heritage, YOU are the immigrant into California.

The last part about Germany is complete bullshit. Most of it is wrong, some is extremely distorted none is actually true. From the unemployment rate of 70% to Europe being muslin until 14th century.
No-one is forced to take in refugees. I would suggest the woman to should learn German because she completely misunderstands what is being discussed and what is going on. Pretty much nothing has changed since the last year except a vivid discussion about refugees coming to Germany.
Sorry for the negative comment but that stuff is so wrong it hurts.
It’s not “complete bullshit”.
Her only mistake: Those proposals like forcing citizens to host migrants are not yet the law.
Nevertheless they are being discussed by high ranking members of the Green Party and (so called) SocialDemocratParty. The latter is member of the german government (big coalition with Merkel’s CDU/CSU).
But there are already shocking cases in Austria and Germany, where federal organizations are being forced to make room for migrants in schools, gyms and various other cultural or educational buildings.
I could reference some examples that are already shocking enough. But only right-wing blogs are documenting these cases, so of course I don’t want to advertise them.
It is in such cases sometimes difficult to verify information (without actually driving some hundred kilometers and investigate).
But there is already more than enough verifiable information that is speaking a clear language against your rant.
As compromise I forward anyone who understand the German language to http://info.kopp-verlag.de/hintergruende/deutschland/redaktion/aktuelle-weltnachrichten-vom-august-2-15.html
And: If you believe that the unemployment among migrants is less than 70%, is this a belief or can you prove it with some hard data?

Sorry to Scott that I so far only commented the Migration issue.
There are so many other points actually realted to Ukraine that I would also like to focus on.
But for today I will just read silently, because don’t want to dominate the comments area too much.
I agree. The woman is being hysterical and is reacting in an irrational way to everything. It does not look like she has been in Germany for any length of time (and like she is very clever either). Typical emotional overeaction of a recent immigrant.
The creators of Debtocracy analyze the shifting of state assets to private hands. They travel round the world gathering data on privatization in developed countries and search for clues on the day after Greece’s massive privatization program.
The documentary uncovers the forthcoming results of the current sell-off of the Greek public assets, demanded in order to face the country’s enormous sovereign debt.
Turning to the examples of London, Paris, Berlin, Moscow and Rome, Catastroika predicts what will happen, if the model imposed in these areas is imported in a country under international financial tutelage.
Slavoj Zizek, Naomi Klein, Luis Sepulveda, Ken Loach and Greg Palast talk about the austerity measures, the Greek government as well as the attack against Democracy on Europe, after the general spreading of the financial crisis.
Academics and specialists like Dani Rodrik, Alex Callinicos, Ben Fine, Costas Douzinas, Dean Baker and Aditya Chakrabortty present unknown aspects of the privatization programs in Greece and abroad.

China is having a military parade. This is obviously very scary. The LA times headline says:
China is rattling nerves as it prepares to strut its military might
and then:
“…the weaponry display is already adding to grave concerns in the United States — as well as in Japan, Vietnam, the Philippines and elsewhere — about China’s military capabilities and intentions.”
http://www.latimes.com/world/asia/la-fg-china-military-might-20150901-story.html
Amazing. A parade no less! Strutting! These Chinese people have some nerve!
I’m living in a german speaking country (Austria) and I can attest to the fact that at least 50% of the population here views Slavs and Muslims as subhumans. Particularly Russian women are only viewed in terms of prostitutes and not as human beings.
There are even TV shows here where they send German men to slavic countries to find cheap women and prostitutes. (“Das Geschäft mit der Liebe – Frauen aus dem Osten” meaning “the business with love – women from the east”)
These TV shows are shown on major TV channels at the best time slots in the evening.
The only reason they don’t want to attack right now is because they are militarily weak to such a degree, that even the most stupid person on the street understands that it would equal suicide.
But it’s only a matter of time, the Germans will attack again.
@ Ivan,
Q; But it’s only a matter of time, the Germans will attack again.
R; This – Link to youtube – is what happened the previous time when mighty Germany attacked an ‘impoverished’ and ‘weak’ Russia. Do you honestly think the outcome will be different this time, with a more affluent and much stronger Russia?
Hi Ivan,
in Austria are extremely many racists and outright Nazi lovers (with the exception of urban locations, most notably Vienna).
Whenever I crossed Austria on the way to Bosnia, I had rants with them at every fuel station.
The situation in Germany is not like that, except in Bavaria (which borders Austria and is quite similar in many aspects [again with the exception of urban areas, most notably Munich, which is a rather socialdemocrat/green/[pseudo-]leftist]).
Former GDR is another region with different views, but differs much from both Austria and Bavaria.
The situation there is much like described in the SitRep (more Nazis than elsewhere, also many racists, but at the same time the only communists, Russia-patriots and in general: More than average people who still try to think by themselves, rather than the MSM).
Eastern women: I know this and it makes me everything from sad to angry. But it is far from being an Austrian phenomenon: It is like that in every western country. And in Ukraine are many special “dating programs” where for example rich USAmericans can find women for marriage (check youtube and seach for anastasia date, Russian weomen and so on).
On the other hand: Many women (which you can find online, even on love.mail.ru) want it like that, sorry that I say that.
It is very difficult to find a good-hearted girl if you have really honest intentions as a foreign man and want to migrate to Russia. Believe me.
Hey Scott,
Again, many, many thanks for the time and effort you’ve put into providing us with this sitrep. To have unlimited access to this wealth of information is truly breathtaking.
A few minor things though:
In Russia and Beyond
In points 4 & 5 you claim ‘vertical takeoff.’ This is technically incorrect, because the jet can only do so, once it has reached sufficient airspeed. The US’ Osprey and British Harrier can do a real ‘vertical takeoff.’
In point 6 you refer to a Russian SU 25 S, but link it to a clip of a СУ-35с Это не самолёт, это – НЛО!!!
In point 18 you make it sound as if being ‘liberal’ is on par with having a STD. I don’t get that.
Scott, amazing sitrep. Thank you. (all apart from the last bit about Germany – completely over the top)
I wanted to share something with everybody. We recently returned from a holiday in Crimea. It was great. So much positive energy, so many interesting conversations with people, just amazing. Quite a few people we spoke to relocated from Donbas, and were so “switched on” in terms of understanding what is going on in geopolitics – there is simply no comparison with Western populus. This is the greatest hope for the future – “switched on” people.
There were lots and lots of tourist, from allover Russia. We were the only tourists from Europe we met in 8 days. And we visited so many museums and beautiful Crimean sites. People are so kind to each other, so understanding. The atmosphere was great, despite clear problems with roads, infrastructure inherited from the 23 years of Ukrainian neglect. Everyone was so relaxed. No one military or police in site. People with their kids on holiday enjoying themselves, and beautiful Black Sea, and beautiful Crimean weather, and good Crimean wine. (Very good new branded wine from Inkerman was called “Good year 2014” :-) good year that was indeed!)
And the most amazing thing that happenned to us on our visit to Sevastopol is …. we saw Vladimir Putin! He was there at the time, and came out to a brief encounter with the public after interviews with the press. We were there in the crowd! That was great. That person simply emitted positive energy. We saw him for a couple of minutes, but talked about it for days.
A couple of people in Crimea asked us if we would be in trouble at home for visiting, and we said – we don’t care. After the visit, we know for sure that Western press lies, and the British foreign office advsing people not to travel there lies through their teeth. The real reason why they don’t want people to travel is that they don’t want people to learn the truth.
Thanks for the report about Crimea. I was there with my Ukr. girlfriend in 2012, when everything was still like in heaven. But I’m relieved to read your positive findings!
So this confirms that
Crimea For Dummies (RT Documentary) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xURFKxliGh8
is still the current situation. I wished all of the world would know that, but that’s their own loss, if they don’t.
Refugees: Not sure why everybody finds it necessary to discredit this paragraph.
And especially: Why in such a generalistic way without actually providing any arguments?!
Was anybody of those ever here or is it a remote guess?
Watch this (migration to UK, which is another hotpot) :
Rioting migrants yesterday- Calais to Dover port
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syyl0gfNDRE
Calais: illegal immigrants attacked a Hungarian truck on the highway
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-amDKfV5Hdw
Then, maybe you didn’t do the maths properly: It’s growing exponentially, because every single male who “made it” will later bring in his wife, children, parents, then his brother and roll back to [start].
In addition: The migrants may have 2.3 children on average, rather than 0.6 or something.
This figure is only my guess, but go and search the charts. The actual numbers will be something like this.
The problem is not that these people have a different skin color and/or religion.
The problem is:
* many of them have little to no skills/education/qualifications
* -“”- are not willing to integrate themselves
* there is simply no economical future for them, because there aren’t enough jobs for the locals, not at all
Now, Berlin signals “We love Migrants”, “We offer migrants money”. “They can work here” etc etc etc. The effects of this are like an electro-magnet. And if the number of migrants continues to double per year, which is even a probable outcome, soon we have:
2015 1 million
2016 2 millions
2017 4 millions
2018 8 millions
2019 16 millions
2020 32 millions
2021 64 millions
2022 128 millions
However, at some point it may and will grow faster than simply doubling per year.
And I propose that you then invite them all into your private house and give them the keys, because otherwise you probably are a racist.

Sir, by shrugging of this problem and even denying it, you are co-responsible of it getting worse by the minute.
Although admittedly there isn’t much you or I can do to solve it, anyway.
Thanks, guys and ladies.
@Russian heart
Since you just came from Crimea, would you be willing to write an essay on your journey?
A couple of pictures would be really great. If you do, please, email me ATT: Scott at vineyardsaker at gmail.com
@ Daniel Rich – Thanks for correcting me on the fighter jets issues.
“In point 18 you make it sound as if being ‘liberal’ is on par with having a STD. I don’t get that.”
I wanted just to say “because it is”. But, you of all people deserve the better explanation.
Liberals have nothing to do with personal liberties. Liberals are working to advance the interest of “free” market, hence “liberals.” Liberal market in American doublespeak means uncontrollable pillaging of sovereign countries by the Western corporations. Anything for a profit.
This is a good book, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.
That will give you a general understanding what liberals are. Economically speaking they are the same as assassins for hire. Only they steal money, which is condensed time and labor, from millions of people, and generations of people.
http://www.indonesia-digest.net/Docs/economichitman.pdf
The neo-con liberals are the main force of Empire.
I wrote about the Russia’s neo-con liberal “elite” here
http://thesaker.is/ukraine-sitrep-june-11th-2015-by-scott/
From the time of the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Russian liberals’ tasks have been to keep the Russian people down, the Russian government out of economy and politics, and the Western Governments in.
The reality of the modern Russia is that self-name “liberal opposition” is a misnomer. The neo-con Liberals (NCL) have actually ruled Russia for the good part of the quarter of the century, not with an “iron fist,” but with a silk rope thrown over the nation’s throat, slowly strangling the living daylights out of it.
Interesting reaction of the Europeans on the Russian woman’s diary of a modern day Germany. Her notes are based on the articles in newspapers and her personal experience. She has been living in Germany since 90s.
You’re attacking her personally saying that she is a new emigrant, hysterical, even stupid, and doesn’t understand German language. It tells me that what she writes is true, you’re just shocked by her criticism. Why? Is it because the Russians are not “human” enough to understand the superior manners of Aryan race? Or, is it because you’re deeply ashamed of Germany going down the toilet?
She is right, though. Don’t look at Russia and expect her to solve your problems. Keep it to yourself.
amazing sitrep Scott…you’re a fantastic writer !!
The Cross talk link is superb…but so frustrating to see that guy with the teeth standing up like a true Brit, and pretending that all the ruined countries have to ‘be helped’ by the great first class citizens of the planet…where as the first commentator, is so really, such a gentleman, and so informed.
“I can’t wait to see the hordes of Ukro- Nazis trained by NATO, colliding with the hordes of CIA trained ISIS terrorists, colliding with the self-taught Polish football fans. This will be an epic battle. They will be fighting with one hand, while taking selfies with another.”
This was a good laugh. Thanks, Scott.
There may be many things wrong with Germany right now, but the excerpts from “Chronicles of Germany’s demise” are at best very one-sided. It’s too bad that she didn’t enjoy her time in Germany, but this is not at all the Germany that I know. The writer should visit one of the many German public swimming pools. Everyone is in regular swimwear, and she will meet many Russian-speakers who immigrated in the 1990s. If this was still too conservative for her, she could also try the many nude beaches on Germany’s North Sea coast. I also recommend that she goes to a German Department store during late November and December, where they will be playing Christmas Carols around the clock for at least four straight weeks.
The problem with the refugee crisis is obviously the many wars(Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine) that make living in their home countries so difficult, rather than the willingness of other countries to welcome them and keep them safe, even if for a short amount of time. Taking in a million refugees from Ukraine without complaining is one of the things to be admired about Russia.
Yeah well, 1 million refugees is for sure not easy to handle, but a Ukrainian usually will fit easily into the Russian society. Russia would probably have no problems wit 10 million Ukrainians coming in, they have lots of land and want it developed (and populated)
It’s generally not hard for people with slavic roots to aquire Russian citizenship, probably for this exact reason. They fit into Russian culture and they want to populate their vast land.
Fully agreed! As West/MaloRussians and Russians are compatible, because they are from the same narod, or at least more similar (if not even identical) than South-Germans (Bavaria, Austria) and North-Germans, both in terms of spoken (rather than written) language, and mentality.
On the contrary Bavarians and Austrians are much closer together in all aspects, but Bavaria does belong to so called “Federal Republic of Germany” while Austria doesn’t (although it wanted to after WW1 [to the Weimar Republic/German Empire), which was prohibited by the Western aggressors).
That was one of the “open bills” that lead to WW2. Hungary was completely cut into pieces in 1920, by the West. One day this might cause problems not only in “Ukraine”‘s Zakarpatta, but also in Romania and north-eastern Serbia. In Kikinda I asked a girls on the main road what they think about the Soviet Union (no joke) and how she as a Serbian feels towards Russia. She is 25 and at University, ironically studying “German as foreign language”. Her response was quite devastating: “I don’t know what the ethinc Serbs think about that, because I’m an ethnic Hungarian!” And this 95 years after Austro-Hungary’s end! I noticed that Hungarian is still spoken by many there. On the other hand there live ethnic Croats in nowaday’s Southern Hungary and still speak Serbo-Croatian (near Pecs), circa 200km westwards.
The Balkans constitute an explosive mix.
The balkans are torn between 3 powers that constantly struggle to influence the territory. Turkey, Russia and Austria/Germany. It will stay this way until either one side wins (for how long), all sides mutually agree to spheres of influence or the people on the balkans together turn away from this influence. Neither is likely to happen so it will stay explosive for a long time.
One a side note I’d like to say that I agree with you on the negative effects the mass migration will have on Germany/Austria. Even though I disagree with many Austrians on political views, they are decent people and you can work with them well. Hell, I’m now extremely well situated here coming from nothing and all I had to do is to be constructive and play by the rules.
This migration will possibly be the final nail in the coffin of the society here, as the Arabs have such a different social order and society that most of them wont fit. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against Arabs, I’m interested in many cultures including theirs and would gladly visit them as a guest if it weren’t so dangerous right now.
But this doesn’t mean that I want their type of social order here just as they don’t want our social order in their respective countries.
That it has come this far, that Merkel has now to accept 1 million Arabs coming into Germany is the product of a colossal political failure on her side. You can’t send those people home to die in Syria, but why the hell did she allow the Americans to use German bases to create terror and mass murder in these muslim countries.
If Europe had with a united voice blocked this US terror these Muslim countries would still exist and millions would not have died there. Now we will pay the price for our incompetent leaders and I will maybe at some point have to become either militant or leave Austria and I don’t like any of these options.
Scott, the expression “Ukrajinska kurva” means “Ukrainian whore”.
The word “kurva” is used by the Poles pretty often, something like the word “f%&*” in the english spoken countries.
It has no connection to any dog, just maybe as the word “bitch” could be. But for that are plenty other words :-)
But the word “kurva” or “kurwa” itself actually means “whore” (something twisted, corrupt, wrong, disgusting).
This word is used in the Czech, Slovak and Hungarian languages with the same meaning.
While this is true, I can hardly imagine Scott didn’t know this.
But it is true that the english word “dog” was much too weak of a translation to make it clear to remote western audiences. Because “bitch” is the only way to say it in English. Or he wanted to be too polite, not sure. Good that you pointed this out.
An interesting Syria link: Kerry Confident Regional Powers Will Send Troops To Syria http://www.defensenews.com/story/defense/policy-budget/policy/2015/09/02/kerry-confident-regional-powers–send-troops-syria/71611570/
As he doesn’t want to send American troops this must mean Arabs or Turks. In this context the VAE is probably a good candidate. Their troops – who have Afghanistan experience and ar according to one article the best in the region after the Israeli’s – are doing reasonably well in Yemen.
Of course they would go to Syria to fight ISIS. Ahum…
Remember, the US call Russia “a regional power”, too.
So maybe he is hoping and wishfully thinking Russia will send ground troops.
This would explain the dysinfo articles for example on this israeli website debka which is registered by a certain Vadim Mikhailov in Jerusalem.
I am not sure whether this has anything to do with Russia. But I have the impression that the US is rather serious in this:
Today the main opposition party in the Netherlands suggested sending troops to Syria for creating a safe zone for refugees. Did they have a conversation with the US ambassador before?
And then there is the sudden refugee crisis. Note that this sudden wave of refugees comes from Turkey. And the US has just concluded some agreement with Turkey regarding Syria. I wouldn’t be astonished if there was some secret clause that it might help to send a wave of refugees to the EU to give them a sense of urgency and panic.
@Scott: I hope I wasn’t the reason with my migration-centered comments, that your outstanding SitRep dealing with many more topics got so few comments. But actually I don’t see any fair reason why this would be. Probably it was simply co-inciding with the almost simultanous publication of the other article which had explosive topics in it
—>> On Russian military interventions (or lack thereof)
http://thesaker.is/on-russian-military-interventions-or-lack-thereof/
and where all the folks were running to and commenting.
Extra-note: Forgive me the spelling errors. I have big problems with getting tired as a result of my unsharp right eye. In theory it would be necessary to spell-check my comments in some word-processor before I send them. On the other hand I’m sometimes (always) too impatient.
The errors include stuff like “of” instead of “off”. So the spell checker itself wouldn’t detect them anyway. I must improve my habits in this regard or I must comment less. But I found it very important to defend this position instantly and immediately, without caring for spelling errors – as you just said. Somebody makes a bicycle tour through romantic West-German country side regions twice per year. Another one now came from Crimea, but didn’t say when he was last in Germany. But this woman gets blamed for not knowing what she is talking about?? Same myself, the only(?) regular commentator who actually _lives_ here in Germany. But many others residing up to 10 thousand kilometers away know it alllll so muchhhh better (maybe from having watched Merkel on CNN once per year?) ???
That’s why I typed all night long in this dark room. Because it made me extremely _angry_ to see these other comments. Especially in this unspecific generalized and also quite unreflected and arrogant “completely over the top” “absolute nonsense” “she is hysteric and probably never was in Germany” “she shall first learn the German language” manner.
That’s why I didn’t check my own comments for spelling errors, because I was in alarm mode, on the battle field of my text editor.
Thanks for your understanding.
p.s. I also noticed that those who continuosly write something against the Soviet Union are the ones who had never been there. And some then even wite things like “what the Russians are, want and think”. Well, mhhhh.
In Kaliningrad I noticed that many locomotives still wear the Soviet coat of arms. Same as the Kaliningrad train station’s main building in a beautiful large manner from outside.
Not sure if it is still like that, but in late 2009 it still was.
Many Russians are still having good memories towards the Soviet times.
And if those others take the time to watch the following clips, maybe they can even understand it a bit, even though they live in North America:

Thank you, Martin
Don’t worry about your grammar. Your English is great.
I think we hit a nerve here. Apparently, it’s fine to criticize the US, but nobody is allowed to criticize Germany.
Clearly, Germans are totally blind to what kind of feelings they are stirring up by supporting Neo- Nazis in Ukraine.
A Russian joke: – Listen, have you watched movie The Lord of the Ring? – Yes. I liked it. It’s a very good movie. Only, why did they make Germans to look so ugly?
No worries, Scott :)
Yes, also here a big debate is going on.
The Germans are completely split now.
(Pro-Russian Anti-Kiev -Anti-Migration versus the inverse, and a few mixtures of this tripel)
The truly conservative and truly left circles, _do_ notice it all.
The Kopp-Verlag publishing company is a bit too much Anti-Islam and moderately a bit too much right-wing oriented, but sadly no better daily german media links collection can be found anywhere else (only positive exception is the leftist Telepolis at http://www.heise.de/tp/ with many sound commentators, too! It’s the few woken up leftist pro communist academics of Germany who read Telepolis, unlike their sleeping fellows who read MSM)
Such as here:

Kopp is the biggest and most influential alternative media site in DE.

I guess, most average folks from outside have no slightest clue about so called Germany.
Important: Unfortunately I cannot find it anymore. But in about 2013 I saw a video on yt of a Russian woman (educated, with degree, aged 50) who lived a number of years in France. She explains her sincere disappointment of virtually all aspects of the West and its “culture”.
Also she complains about the western citizens being only interested in trivial nonsense. One of her statements is: In Russia (at least during Soviet times) the “simple” average people, workers, peasants etc. were interested in major political developments. You could talk to them about everything: Politics, arms race, rocket science. The Russians are (and all other Easterners were) capable of repeiring their car by themselves but are also skilled in the themes of literature, theater, opera. While the Westerners like modern day Frenchmen (the same is valid for the Weast-Germans and the young zombified generation) are only interested in talking about Hollywood movies or cooking dishes. Every day, always about the same unimportant crap! If somebody knows this video, *please* post the link here! Otherwise I will try to find it myself. And whatever – it is not just a video, it expresses all my own experiences that I can confirm myself, and I know many others in East-Germany who think the same (I often talk to people on the streets or in the supermarket).
Dammit, I missed my appointment.
It is very time consuming here (but interesting like a news-narcotic).

Dear Scott
Your commentary and splendid research really light up my day. I actually re-read some of your stuff for another laugh – and I rarely do that with any writer. I only need a 25 hour day plus an eight day week to get through it all. Please keep this going – one of the few spots of light and sanity in today’s world.
Gratefully yours
Yuri
Let’s see now. Just how popular is Russia with its former colonies. Finland, Estonia, Lativa, Lithuania, Poland, Moldova, Ukraine Georgia? The listening Empire, hey?
(Ahh, actually it belongs _here_) :
@Scott: 2 weeks ago many didn’t believe you / Saker or me and called the Russian woman who reported from her time in Germany “hysterical” “and probaly never was in Germany” “and should first learn German”.
Now, here comes another snippet confirming all the things she/you/we said:
German mainstream NTV24 just published this article:
Original (German language) : http://www.n-tv.de/politik/Bund-prueft-Zwangsvermietungen-article15915571.html
Autotranslation:
To the accommodation of refugees
The Federal Government considers FORCED rentings
http://www.translate.ru/siteTranslation/autolink/?direction=ge&template=general&sourceURL=http://www.n-tv.de/politik/Bund-prueft-Zwangsvermietungen-article15915571.html
Munich on the week-end counts on 40,000 refugees. However, the federal states announce only accommodations for 1500 people. Plans of alliance and countries for the limited compulsive renting still meet with criticism.
Alliance and countries check according to the ARD to the accommodation of refugees a limited-period compulsive renting of empty real estate. Basis of the check is a paper of the federal country working group, reported the transmitter. Therefore, an acceleration law is during the check which is aimed by the compulsive renting to refugees above all at not used trade real estate. Therefore, also single-family dwellings could be concerned.
The house association and landowner’s association rejected “arbitrary measures”. Many of 900 house associations and basic associations would already offer flats of private renters to the refugees together with the local authority districts. “We want to continue this engagement”, said general manager Kai Warnecke of the ARD (German State TV 1).
According to the report there is also opposition in the union group. The chairperson of the working group of human rights of the union group, Erika Steinbach (CDU), said the ARD: “This is an expropriation.” This would go only with a legal regulation, and she holds this for the “wrong signal”.
On the week-end Munich counts on the arrival of 40,000 refugees. However, the federal states announced only all together free accommodations for 1500 people. “I hold this for scandalous”, said chief burgomaster of Munich Dieter Reiter.
Update2:
