a very good interpretation of the Ukraine drama, from what i know you covered most of it, maybe missing the part about the CIA replacing the Russian friendly leader in a coup.
over here in the UK no one flies flags, its rare as rocking horse poop to see a British flag yet these last few months there are a crop of Ukrainian ones, every time i see one i just think oh look a nazi :/
the fact that my taxes are paying for nazis makes me madder than a dehydrated horny bull
What comes to my mind every time I think about Ukraine is Joe Biden as Vice President sitting, looking at his watch, and threatening the Ukrainians with loss of funding if a certain prosecutor was not fired before Biden left the country. From what I understand, that prosecutor was tracking down the corruption inside Ukraine. And, if that was not bad enough, the ensuing laughter from the audience at Biden's boasting of his influence peddling makes me realize there's a big game being played on the world's stage that we aren't even aware of.
GM, Once again you surprise me in a positive way. I have read endlessly on the Ukraine situation (and am no expert as opposed to Covid) but this makes the most sense of anything I have read: connected, coherent and likely (mostly) correct.
Thanks for taking time off from chasing cows to delve into a new area. Always anxious to see that brainpower invested in something beyond fly spray. :)
For what it's worth, my acquaintances in the military are not even thinking about Ukraine as something that involves them in any genuinely kinetic way. They're still focused on real stuff (China and future conflicts). Nothing about US posture frames this as a conflict we're genuinely engaged with on any real level. This is a campaign slogan with a $54B (and counting) ad budget.
And I'm always proud when something I've written rises to a compliment from the doc. :)
If your bull was irish, you could have called him your O'Taurus. You know, as in "mine O'Taurus is loose in the corn-maze".
As for the hogs, well porking is what they do, isn't it? Going hog wild sowing their oats, never finding it boaring. And male pigs sure love to have themselves a haram of sows, don't they?
That bit about having a red friend who you don't really want or dare speak plainly with hit home, right in the cup. Been there, done that, decided that "F*ck it, I have to keep schtumm about this stuff at work all day, no way am I doing it in my own home on my own time", which predicably cost me a few friends. Not all, only most of the reds I new. A handful are of the type that actually reads up on topics, study economics and political history/science, and tries to use facts as is known and available, and then filter this through their red value system. They are however a minority among the reds, 19 out of 20 being the "point and screech" variety (or throw rocks, literally even).
Few things annoys a socialist as much as asking them "So how do you reconcile Engels' analysis of the dialectic with the conflict inherent in Hegel's and Marx' opposing views?" and similar phrases - you can't really do a web search for a quick and easy answer, you actually have to read the bloody tomes those men created. I mean, most reds today haven't even read the Communist Manifesto, let alone Das Kapital. They are "socialists" the way Westboro Baptist Church is christians.
Interlude: I really needed to read this page you put up. Been renovating our windows for weeks now and am losing my mind. They're from 1922, so no modern measurements apply, meaning no spare parts or spare panes. Anything goes snap-crackle-pop I have to make, o cut to fit if it's glass. And some unprintable has, at some point in time, used silicon-based window seal on top of old style putty - (screaming) without removing the old putty first. Hulk smash! Scrape, sand, apply wood spackel, sand, reglaze, trim glaze when dry, paint outdoor base coat, paint outdoor paint coat, re-seal the windows to keep the draft (or is it draught? swedish word for when wind seeps through a broken window seal is drag - I'll leave the punning out...). And I'm taking the windows out and putting them back in as if I was trying to make a shed with the main house. In out in out all day long. If this goes on, they're going to find the house empty, with a single page in the typewriter reading "As you glaze into the window pane, the pane glazes also into you".
Ahem.
As for Ukraine, one of the simplest answers is, US oil companies were supposed to buy Gazprom and subsidiaries in the mid naughties, thereby giving the US control of over 60% of Russia's oil, gas and related industries and therefore making russia wholly dependent on US goodwill in all matters. This was seen as a continution of the plans initiated during the Clinton/Bush administrations, where russian and foreign oligarchs got to buy assets for pennies on the dollar, plunging Russia into a far worse crisis than the actual collpase of the Soviet Union warranted and also firmly making China deny any and all western action aiming at the same goal there - the chinese leadership saw clearly that the US used the World Bank, the IMF and sundry as weapons to subjugate Russia to the role of a resource and commodity rich client state and opted for their own style of chinese national socialism instead.
Meanwhile, the KGB continued with a plan set in motion in the early 1980s - establish long chains of shell companies in western nations, get prominent up and coming businessmen and politicians on the boards, and use these to launder money, to get access to western tech, and to gain influence over western decision makers. This plan was kpt going all through the nineties and the Putin was crowned successor of Jelstin, with the apporval of the Us and the US to boot, despite Putin's background as a trainer, facilitator and arms dealer to terrorists in western nations.
This was no obstacle to the british and italian and austrian banks where he and the rest of his circle of old KGB compatriots, with deep ties to the various ROC groups, could deposit and launder money to continue the plan - cause chaos, strife and corruption in the West, by utilisng the core values of western society and businesses.
It is no coincidence that Putin, as are all KGB men, is an avid chess-player, with an interest in linguistics, the science and history of communication, and judo. Just look at all dealing Trump had with russians during the 1990s - if anyone wanted to implicate him in suspect dealings with Russia, that's where you'd start.
But then, that would implicate dozens of other rich and important figures in business and politics too. Such as the Clinton family basically selling US military tech-know how to both Russia and China.
You said "in out in out all day long." Heh heh heh.
The closest I edged towards letting the veil slip with my friend is he's been obsessed with reading about the history of currency and money lately (he's a very intelligent guy, and we have many happy years of bonding over discussing Big Ideas), and in our most recent phone call blathered away about Modern Monetary Policy and I had let slip that I had recently read something about how catastrophic the jump from the gold standard was to the US at the time, and probably going forward, and he said something to the effect of, "but then we wouldn't have been able to print all the money we needed to help everyone during the pandemic, and the government wouldn't be able to buy student debt now." And I just kind of pursed my lips, grimaced into the phone, and said, "yup, they sure wouldn't have."
Your recent history lesson is a good reminder (which unfortunately will likely go unseen by the flag-wavers that actually need it) that all of this was set in motion decades ago, and predates Russia and Ukraine as we know it.
When I leave morality or the interests of my own country (US) out of it, I actually find Putin one of the smartest and craftiest wielders of realpolitik in the modern world.
It should be at least a little horrifying how much of this ultimately hearkens back to the Clintons acting like a mafia family since the early 90s and laying all these corrupt eggs that are now hatching their foul offspring.
"...laying all these corrupt eggs that are now hatching their foul offspring."
Like bot flies.
Hehe, letting the veil slip or the mask fall is funny in its own way, I think. A very, very memorable and cherished such moment was when a kurdish co-worker was handed the role of "token non-european migrant" at coffee table discussion during lunch at the school I was working in at the time.
I had offered a counterpoint to the common liberal-progressive narrative typical of teachers, and someone at the table asked this kurdish man what his opinion of the matter was, specifically revoking citizenship and residency from migrants covincted of crimes or asylum seekers faking their refugee status.
His reply was quite short.
"If they are fakers, kick them out, the enitre clan! If they are criminals, take all their belongings and give to victims. If they have raped or murdered or hurt children, kill them."
After a brief silence and me firing off a possibly audible grin, the topic shifted to the latest scandal.
He was supposed to be the good ole' Uncle Tom/House Migrant, all touchy-feely cuddly-wuddly like some plushy toy my fellow academics could snuggle up to as their token non-white alibi.
Going to fiat currency had its advantages but the main disadvantage was the entire idea and policy relying on political restrain and politicians not using the Federal Reserve (or equivalent) as a mint. It worked for a time but erosion and entropy always sets in.
Sadly, the next step is in all probability e-money tied to a social scoring system. That way, the value of an account can be made to vary from person to person, even if the amount or sum is the same. Toe the line, obey orders, like the right things a little more than required and report dissenters and splitters and the individual worth of your tokens increases.
Eventually under such a system, taxation for the majority can be abolished since the state is co-owner of every major business (or every major business is a co-owner of the state, same sh*t different name) and replaced with a system where your "private" employer simply pays your entire wage to the state and the state then pays out your share, sans tax. It will of course be called taxation or something similar but since the whole thing is automated and out of your hands, the effect in practice is something resembling communism the way Plato envisioned it (even if he didn't call it that).
Such a system has the great advantage that all states initially outside can be offered to become part of it by ensuring the current elites of any nation benefits from it, removing conflict by establishing the common goal of keeping the entire thing going, and removing also almost all the unpredictability of market economy. (Which will be touted as a great boon to the climate, as it saves resourves.)
Thanks for the time invested in a great article. I agree with almost all your analysis on the rationale. Your writing is clear and concise. I hope you are correct that USA/Natostan does not get directly involved. Excellent, informative and entertaining. Many thanks for a 5 star article.
I know who medically raped my MIL and dear friend and it was not Putin or the Russians.
Zhe and all the Uke leadership are teamed up with the Bidenreich who DID.
So no. To the extent I pick a side it's not that of those monstrous creatures.
Rotten to be the ODC Ukrainians who are, like what's left of my fellow Americans, getting trampled. I hope the ones that do not want to be Russian get to have their own country free if the festering human pustules ruling us
Sorry you’ve had to spend so much time on your herd antics. It takes away from productive endeavors but also makes life interesting. Your take on the Ukraine is pretty much how I and most around me see it. You’ve fleshed out the salient points well. Just one more way the leftists are redistributing our wealth (mostly to themselves) and trashing all that which we hold dear.
I 100% agree with your assessment of the Ukraine situation. I was reading articles about it before the invasion and was thinking how "they" were absolutely goading Putin to invade. F'in crazy. My only wish is that Putin destroys all the biolabs.
But realistically, we know that Putin is absolutely going to catalogue and keep every last shred of intelligence and technology he finds, first.
Even if I never intended to use it, I would do the same if I had just captured my rival's labs stupidly scattered around a corrupt European country like Airbnb's.
Spot on. Added bonus to Great Reset Globalists is another excuse to keep small arms ammunition supplies low in the US by sending a bunch of ours to locations somewhere outside of Ukraine to be sent blindly into said country, probably. Is it making it to the front lines? Who cares! Did it get sent at all or is it sitting in an IRS warehouse waiting for another 87,000 agents to learn the best ways to squeeze blood from a middle class turnip?
I've read a fair bit on Ukraine and I think you're essentially correct in your assesment.
I think when Ukraine falls, and it will, like Afghanistan there will be lots of very evil people running around with America's best gear and with vengeance against the West on their mind. This time they'll be in the heart of Europe and not thousands of miles away in desert caves.
In the early days of the internet, when Kazaa was trendy, I accidentally downloaded some bestiality. Pigs' sexual organs, as you noted, are totally otherworldly and obscene
I know, but you're a fool if you honestly didn't expect to be teased about accidentally DLing pig porn. :)
You wanna tease me back? I have literally never voluntarily consumed pornography (qualifying 'voluntarily' as going beyond "hey Guttermouth, look at this crazy thing I found!").
It was actually pig-on-girl porn, with the girl apparently working out some deep-seated psychological issues on film. I trust nothing so degenerate happens on the wholesome Guttermouth ranch.
The Preamble to the US Constitution is one sentence and about half a page, as I proudly point out to nearly every English student I've ever taught clauses to.
That's the most perceptive and flip analysis of Ukraine I've read, and I've written about 9 of them.
I don't think it's in retaliation for not playing nice with the Great Reset, but maybe Putin is NOW not playing nice in retaliation for it. Here's what I wrote in response to that Edward Slavsquat on Tessa Fights Robots Substack:
Option One: Everything that's happening in the world, including the Maidan coup and Putin's 'special operation' in Ukraine has been orchestrated by the same people who brought us Covid. There will be no alternative to third-world debt by walking away and joining the BRIICS. We will only be exchanging US hegemony for WEF hegemony (and whoever's behind it). No country will be able to demonstrate what an alternative medical or economic or social system could do because TINA--there is no... That's entirely a possibility. We could definitely be all fucked.
Option Two: the oligarchs are like rats who don't always do what's best for the group but sometimes get greedy for themselves. Biden's Ukraine grab, orchestrated by the neo-cons, didn't count on Putin leaving gold in overseas banks like rat-bait, so he could renounce the petrodollar and influence of Russian oligarchs. The BRIICS are a viable alternative for producer nations yearning to breathe free of their dollarized debt. We in the US/NATOstan are fucked but so is, maybe, the IMF on which the WEF depends. It's a possibility that might as well be considered, since it's a little shred of hope and we have no power anyway.
Here are the bits of clues that maybe this is the case. The GR agenda is dispossession of homeownership and small businesses, and depopulation through lowering the birth rate and raising the death rate. Part of Putin's speech was talking about the 13% drop in births and how we need to support families, with actual money committed to that. He talked about policies that will support small businesses. And there were many other things that I'd certainly welcome if any US politician talked about them. I don't credit these to Putin because they're very policy-dense. I think they're from Sergei Glazyev. But Putin is listening to him.

I probably should have specifically mentioned the emplacement of Zelenskyyy as an obvious NATO/US stooge.
But yes, it's part of the whole picture. Ukraine has been the alternate Epstein Island for Dems for some time now.

Then destroys them
SAFELY.
