The Russians will nationalise their industries on a war footing starting now. His military may chase out Zelenskyy and his backers from Ukraine. It’s possible that this can be dialled back but it looks like total war is now on.
Questions:
1) will India and China support Russia in exchange for cheap gasoline?
2) will gas prices hurt US households so much that the antiRussian sanction policy be called off or walked back? Or will it provoke massive US military aggression? After all the 1940-41 US sanctions on Japan cut off the Japanese from US monopoly controlled oil supplies, not the other way around.
there are serious questions that require answers.
I have met only one pro-Russian person in my direct circle. He was vehemently opposed to the vaccine and Covid measures and claims the world is run by – wait for it – vampiric pedophile nazi pharaohs. He sincerely believes Putin’s vows to “denazify” Ukraine. With supporters like that, Russia needs no enemies.
From the Russian POV anyone marching Eastwise is a Slav exterminating nazi. He may also have been dog whistling about Zelenskyy’s Jewish identity. The Khazarian Khaganate revival named without explicit words.
there’s around 1 million Ukrainians pouring into Berlin, Dresden, Frankfurt via Warsaw. Hopefully the Germans can find them something useful to do and boot out their Turkish guest workers and assorted Third World scum in exchange for the Stingers and PzF 3 they sent Zelenskyy. Might have been a good exchange. Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
For us Slavs, the WW2 and “Nazis’m” have a completely different meaning, and weight than for an average Western European and especially an American. Everyone easily forgets the sacrifices the Russians suffered during the war against the Germans. Never mind the other invasions from the West that occurred through Ukraine. Napoleon first crossed the border to enter Imperial Russian soil in 1812. Every time since, western powers have been forced out, but have left behind devastation in their wake. For Russia, the nightmare scenario of dismemberment from the west is now tangible. You may disagree with their perspective, but what is important is HOW they view the situation.
It’s also astonishing to see the Counter-Currents position on this war of Civilizations. One of the endless emancipation, and forced egalitarianism vs. spirituality, tradition, and family. And they chose the first one.
Moscow was an early adopter of the firearm. They trained footsoldiers recruited from their farms built cannons and marched on horse people types like Kazan, Mongols, Ottomans and gave these mobile warlike world beating races a bloody nose and extended the reach of primarily whites and secondarily of Christians to dominate the globe. The First whites going off into the Atlantic to conquer the US did so with firearms. The Russians did it overland across the steppe and tundra. Leaders come and go. Its no coincidence that you get the Americas colonize as Siberia is colonised. The gun switched the advantage to grain farmers over pony riding archers.
Highly likely a fictional character. OTOH, I have a question directed to the Counter-Currents about their Telegram channel. If your pro-Ukrainian position is so popular, with the Right, why did you disable, the first comments, then the “thumb up/down” and finally even reactions? Because you didn’t like the comments, nor the ratios. I doubt all of them believed in “vampiric pedophile nazi pharaohs.”
I never claimed my position was popular. But it will be when I am through.
I disabled comments long ago. As for the reactions, I am not interested in the feedback of paid Russian shills and their dupes.
I am interested in thoughtful reactions only.
Hi Greg, thanks for your answer. I really doubt there are ‘paid Russian shills’ following Counter Currents. If you are suggesting I am one of them you are wrong. I explained my bias – and from the moniker alone you can come to the conclusion by my ethnicity and digging into the history – we owe the Russians our existence in the WW1 that can’t be repaid. Ultimately their sacrifice cost them their lives, and their country after the Bolsheviks staged the Revolution. There were betrayals too, but on Draza Mihailovic there are more blame to go around, and it’s a subject for another date. To cut to the chase: If Russia is defeated, Serbia can say goodbye forever to Kosovo and Serbian Republic in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Serbia will be reduced to the ‘Pashaluk’ as our enemies have promised us.
Best wishes
There absolutely are paid Russian shills on all social media platforms.
Pretty good there. Look forwards to mark collet, he’s a fave. I like dr j solo, but I also like there to be guests. About 50/50 would be my ideal mix.
