I keep trying to write serious articles about serious issues, but current events keep injecting minutiae into my train of thought, which I then have to spend time on. If I didn’t, many of my readers would think I am ignoring them, and that would be bad (in their esteemed opinion) because these current events are sooo important! Several large-diameter pipes get blown up at the bottom of the Baltic, which weren’t being used in any case. A truck bomb exploded on the bridge that links Crimea with Krasnodar, shutting it down for almost a whole day. Oh, and before we forget, Krasny Liman, a railroad junction in Donetsk was temporarily surrendered to the relentlessly attacking Ukrainians (mostly Polish mercenaries, actually) who drenched it in their blood and festooned it with their billowing entrails in the process. These and other less significant events have caused some small but noisy part of Russian social media to explode in consternation, baying for revenge and generally acting dissatisfied with the progress made since the Special Operation was declared on February 22, 2022. Sure enough, plenty of these hysterical voices are actually paid Ukrainian agents tasked with spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt and, sure enough, the Special Operation will proceed regardless, so this is all just a temporary annoyance. But I will comment on it because I feel that I have to, and then move on to more important things.
The bridge across the Kerch Strait was under discussion for many decades. It was in the planning stages even while Crimea was still an autonomy within the constitutionally intact Ukraine, prior to the US-instigated violent coup of 2014. After Crimea rejoined Russia, it became extremely important to create a ground transportation link between it and the mainland, and the bridge was built in record time. It was a massive undertaking and is a high-prestige item for the Russian government. But there have also been some organizational issues.
As it stands, yesterday a large tractor-trailer packed with explosives was detonated on the highway portion of the bridge just as a cargo train with cisterns of diesel was passing through. The resulting explosion demolished two reinforced concrete highway spans and sooted up the rail bed. All train traffic and half of the road traffic were restarted that very day. There is equipment to X-ray all cargo passing through, but it wasn’t being used because of certain bureaucratic inadequacies; these, I am sure, will now be remedied.
The reason the bridge was extremely important was because there was no land connecting Crimea to the rest of Russia; but now that Kherson and Donetsk are again part of Russia, traffic from Simferopol to Rostov can be sent around the northern shore of Sea of Azov (which is now an entirely Russian body of water); the difference is between 690km and 730km. The bridge is by means superfluous because the distance to Krasnodar, another regional hub, is 1030km by land and just 460km via the bridge. But the new land route from Moscow to Simferopol is 350km shorter. But it’s a very nice bridge, building it cost lots of money and a bit more due diligence is definitely needed to keep Ukrainian terrorists from trying to blow it up.
We are waiting for the results of the investigation to determine how exactly this terrorist act was planned and executed but judging from the fact that the Kiev regime endlessly promised to carry it out and had prepared to celebrate it before it occurred, it is reasonable to expect that it was indeed behind it. In that case the Kiev regime has in effect officially declared itself to be a terrorist entity and any appeals to its territorial integrity and other rights under international law are now groundless. It is now yet another terrorist entity, like ISIS or Al Qaeda, to be destroyed as swiftly and efficiently as possible.
There are, however, two problems. First, the terrorist entity that is the Kiev regime is holding several million people hostage. What’s worse, the Ukraine’s progression from just very corrupt to criminal to full-on genocidal terrorist has been gradual taking some 30 years, and quite a few of these millions are now suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, thinking that black and white and terrorists are the good guys. Some of these victims are beyond hope while others can be deprogrammed over time and revert to what they actually are, which is a provincial sort of Russian. Given a proper educational system, this can be achieved in at most two generations; but this is not something that can be fixed in a hurry using tactical or strategic weapons.
The second problem is behind the Kiev terrorists stand Washington terrorists, along with their many and varied vassals in the European Union. The vassals are indeed varied, ranging from Hungary, which has stood its ground, realizing that it can’t survive without Russian energy imports, to France and Germany, which are almost feckless but do try to do as little to help the Ukraine as they can get away with, to Poland, which is rabidly hell-bent on self-destruction and eager to supply all the cannon fodder the Russians can easily destroy. There is also Britain, which is eager to make mischief on the continent just to assure itself that it still exists.
But behind them all stands Washington, which just blew up some pipelines. If the Crimean bridge incident was for Kiev what 9/11 was for Al Qaeda (obvious fakery notwithstanding), then the Nord Stream pipeline incident was the same for the Washingtonians. The problem is that the Washingtonians are nuclear-armed and can’t be put out of their misery without triggering global destruction. Also, the number of hostages the Washingtonians are holding is orders of magnitude larger and the Stockholm Syndrome is much, much stronger. The difference, from the Russian perspective, is that the Washington regime is on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean and, once the US economy collapses, will be easy to ignore. Already your average Russian is revolted by news of Americans castrating their children, having gay sex and dosing on fentanyl; if it wasn’t for Biden falling down and shaking hands with ghosts or Pelosi’s empty-eyed blithering, there would be nothing to report. The pipeline incident is, of course, lamentable, but then Gazprom has earned a huge fortune by specifically not using that pipeline. But the Kiev regime is right there on the Russian border lobbing missiles at kindergartens, schools and hospitals, and now trying to blow up the damn bridge! This sort of behavior fills your average Russian patriotic Putin-lover with rage; yet what s there to do—beyond what the Special Operation is already doing?
Why didn’t the Russian army liberate Kharkov, for instance, instead of retreating from the region? Well, Kharkov is a city that has almost no industry but has several hundred hipsters who would have had to be fed, clothed and entertained—or they would go and work for the enemy. Most of these hipsters are Stockholm Syndrome sufferers par excellence, and deprogramming them would absorb scarce resources best used elsewhere. Same logic applies to Kiev—times five or ten. Why doesn’t the Russian army blow up bridges, severing communications across Kiev-controlled territory? Well, then they would have to rebuild those bridges when the time comes, and that costs money. Why doesn’t the Russian army demolish border crossings, cutting the Ukraine off from the EU? Well, it’s not time for that yet; that time will come when life in the EU becomes worse than life in the Kiev-controlled portion of former Ukraine and people start trying to come back. Then it will be time to set up filtration camps, to separate the wolves from the lambs. Why doesn’t the Russian army use rockets to destroy the Ukraine’s electric grid and the rest of its energy system? Well, that would just create a humanitarian disaster, for which Russia would be to blame, making it no better than the terrorists and providing ammunition for enemy propaganda.
What is there left to do? Oh, you know, just use a small fraction of Russia’s army to liberate 110.000km2 of territory over a period of a little under nine months, maintaining a better than 10:1 kill ratio, organize referenda on liberated territories and accept them into the Russian Federation. Pretty shabby, I know, but then these 110.000km2 include prime farmland, lots of factories and mines and several million Russians who are very excited to be one with the Motherland once again.
Before I sign off for the day, I’d like to report what seems like a really positive development for the Russian side. Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite network has allowed the Ukrainians at the front to receive up-to-date information and instructions, allowing them to target Russian forces and civilians alike. Ukrainian commanders at the frontline had a continuous internet connection to NATO commanders, who took care of tactical planning and targeting for them. But now the Ukrainians report that Starlink has been failing. At the same time, mysterious pillars of light have appeared over several Russian cities, which were, laughably, ascribed to light pollution from greenhouses. What stands to reason is that the Russians have invented a way to irradiate the ionosphere, saturating it with nose at just those frequencies used by Starlink satellites. Without an internet connection to NATO, the Ukrainians are now as blind as newborn kittens, and just as helpless. Instead of being forced to play “shoot and scoot” Russian artillery and rocketry will be able to pull right up, take out the Ukrainians with line-of-sight targeting, then pull up some more. This should speed up progress quite a lot.
Another development that should speed up progress is the arrival of winter. Foliage is disappearing, and with it the ability of the Ukrainians to hide behind trees and bushes. With the arrival of cold weather, targeting will become a matter of picking out hot spots on infrared images, killing anything that’s still warm. Add to this the arrival of mud season: it will severely hamper the Ukrainians forces’ ability to maneuver. Most of their Soviet-era armor, which was designed for fighting in mud, ice and in snow, has been destroyed already, while its NATO replacements, mostly designed for dry, sunny weather, are exhibiting a marked tendency to get stuck.
In all, I just don’t see too much for the Russians to worry about at this point. As for the Americans, I really don’t see any face-saving way for them out of this. They should just do what they always do under such circumstances: declare victory and go home. To keep their minds off the Ukraine fiasco, maybe they could start a civil war. If they do, I’d be willing to go to Alaska, to help organize a referendum on it rejoining Russia. The US lease on it ran out back in 1966, you know.
Soothing, comedic work as only D. Orlov can spin.
The Chef of droll has given us relief from the hunger pains induced by daily whining and hand-wringing from all the Telegram ‘commanders’, sofa generals and bozo map-makers.
Hail Orlov! He rescued us once again.
My thanks.
A sardonic piece, but to say the Kerch Bridge is superfluous goes a little too far. After all, this attack was the catalyst for Russia’s military response on Ukraine today. Over 100 missiles aimed at 20 cities. The bridge obviously is important to Crimea as the rail supplies goods to it. It cuts off 350km of overland supply traffic. That’s significant if you ask me. If the bridge goes, than logistics for supplies to Crimea whether for civilians needs or military needs requires time and planning. That’s a four hour drive here in the US at high speeds. I get the humor, but in my opinion not everything is funny.
Also, 3 Russians civilians died. That’s not funny at all.
Everything IS funny, or so the sages say; once the lightbulb turns on, we’ll find there’s no other response than to laugh.
I would trust a stuttering dolt who prompts me to giggle, before I would trust a mortarboard hatter who admonishes me to worry.
It had the stench of the British all over it and now it appears is the proof. Don’t forget it was the British that first suggested mining the Black Sea during the arse-hole Gavin Williamson’s laughable stint as Defence Secretary: “Russian should shut up and go away.” Russia must have been peeing in their pants.
https://thegrayzone.com/2022/10/10/ukrainian-kerch-bridge/
The Grayzone has obtained an April 2022 presentation drawn up for senior British intelligence officers hashing out an elaborate scheme to blow up Crimea’s Kerch Bridge with the involvement of specially trained Ukrainian soldiers. Almost six months after the plan was circulated, Kerch Bridge was attacked in an October 8th suicide bombing apparently overseen by Ukraine’s SBU intelligence services.
Detailed proposals for providing “audacious” support to Kiev’s “maritime raiding operations” were drafted at the request of Chris Donnelly, a senior British Army intelligence operative and veteran high ranking NATO advisor. The wide-ranging plan’s core component was “destruction of the bridge over the Kerch Strait.”
Documents and correspondence plotting the operation were provided to The Grayzone by an anonymous source.
Liz Truss (the Geographer,) when elected, first called Zelensky, before calling any other head of state.
Liz Truss also immediately sent a message to her main sponsors and “selectors” by proclaiming that she was a Zionist.
The Jewish hatred of Russia has no bounds. They also hate Germans, Iranians (Persians), Palestinians (real Jews genetically), and so on, and so forth.
The US Zionists’ open policy of the Nazification of Ukraine tells everything one needs to know about a particular racketeering schema of “reparations,” in hundreds of billions. Whether Carl Gershman, Perle, Kristol, the Feiths, Sullivan, Blinken, or the Kagans clan (including Nuland-Kagan, a happy collaborator with Banderites and principal “accelerator” of the Nazification of Ukraine since 2014), they all represent a parasitic predator that has neither decency nor mercy.
The Jewish Lobby is on the side of the followers of Stepan Bandera. All 37 Jewish members of the US Congress (Knesset on Potomac) are on the side of the self-proclaimed Ukrainian Nazis. This is indeed stunning in the context of certain tax-exempt museums and the overall racketeering schema of holobiz. The museums must add a new exposition, “Zionists-run Restoration of Nazism in Eastern Europe.”
– All 37 Jewish members of the US Congress … are on the side of the self-proclaimed Ukrainian Nazis.
Right. But you don’t explain why realitity is the opposite of what we will expect
thank you Dimitri – you’re such a brilliant writer
I agree 100% about this
To keep their minds off the Ukraine fiasco, maybe they could start a civil war. If they do, I’d be willing to go to Alaska, to help organize a referendum on it rejoining Russia. The US lease on it ran out back in 1966, you know.
wow – Putin must really regret this action that was not his own – but its very sad.
You might have noticed that Russia began destroying Ukie infrastructure last night?
Does the infrastructure serve “true Arians” of Zelensky-Melnik-Arestovich kind? And what about some western regions of Ukraine, which are rumored to be ready to reuniting back with their historical fatherlands, Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary? The reunification might involve some minor banderization, but this is something the EU is doubtlessly happy to deal with. “EU to support Ukraine for ‘as long as it takes,’ von der Leyen says.” Will she personally adapt a dozen or two of zionized banderites? – That would be such a joy!
Kerch Bridge will be Zelensky’s “Bridge too Far”.
If a terrorist hit an iconic bridge in the USA such as the Golden Gate, how would the USA respond? If Biden were to unleash shock and awe style retaliation, Biden would get an instant bump in approval ratings.
It would not surprise me if Putin’s ratings reach a new high.
Thank you once again for the timely smile and the good soothing laugh, Dmitri Orlov. Most appreciated!
Lets see now, as many say, Grozny in Chechnya was completely flattened during the Chechen wars, and has been rebuilt. Just so cities and infrastructure in Ukraine can be rebuilt. There will be lots of pows to do the rebuilding, with the added benefit that the pows can be disappeared afterwards. Using similar tactics, Ukraine can be rid of all Ukrainian speakers within a generation, with the youth indoctrinated into being rabidly anti-NATO via the Church and schools at the same time.
But alas, Russia cannot employ such methods, since Russia prefers to just let the West do such things against Russia across Eastern Europe, including Ukraine. Ok, Russia is the most resource rich country on the planet, so can afford such magnanimous leniency I guess. But Putin has reached 3 score years and 10, he might not have much time left. His successor will not have his intelligence, experience and patience, so its best that Putin finishes this Ukraine business within his life time. Putin has now finally hit the Ukrainian infrastructure hard, he should continue in this fashion until the Ukrainian issue is resolved.
Letting the Ukrainians move armour and supplies unhindered to the front lines is making the SMO difficult. Every kilometer of railway line should be bombed, every bridge across Ukraine should be bombed, every power and water infrastructure point should be bombed. There will be more than enough pows to rebuild everything afterwards, Ukraine is destroying most of the bridges where the Russians advance themselves anyway, so its not like the bridges can be saved. Ukraine is killing most of the civilians anyway, either by throwing them into the front lines or by execution. Its like a hostage situation, the hostages are dead anyway, so the good guys might as well go in guns blazing and then hopefully some hostages might actually survive. Russia is behaving like the West with their liberal nonsense carrying on like civilians are holy and untouchable, meanwhile in the East in every war civilians are expendable and have always been expendable. Making civilians all holy is a Western notion, not an Eastern notion. What other Western notions are the Russians going to adopt next, the worship of the melatonin abundant perhaps :-), or maybe Russians are going to start worshiping the LGBT bunch. Russians had better be careful, all this liberal nonsense starts small and then snowballs out of control. But it doesn’t really matter what the Russians do or don’t do in Ukraine, because the SMO will grind the Ukrainians and NATO irregulars away eventually, no doubt about that.
I pretty much agree with part of your statement, but I would point 2 things.
1 – Russian constrain is not something bad. Russian constrain won for Russia the hearts of the Global South.
The same constrain allow several diplomatic victories that Russia needed in the UN.
Russia is powerful, very powerful. But it is not the Soviet Union neither the Russian Empire. In its current iteration it’s not a stand alone civilisation from the cultural and technological point of view. Neither have the tremendous manpower that the Russian Empire or the Soviet Union enjoyed.
So she can not totally trust in the old quote of: “Only friends of Russia are its Army and Navy”.
It need friends and being human and kind in your approach help you to have friends. China, India, Arabic Countries, Africa, the free part of South America.
All of them are actively or passively helping Russia diplomatically they were seduced by the idea of multi polarity that Russia is embodying.
If Russia would portrait itself as a second US, this countries would not be so eager to the new world.
But after each deny of US for diplomacy and each terrorist Ukrainian attack on Russia the hands of Russia are more free.
So I think Putin/Lavrov have performed a diplomatical masterpiece.
Also more time means more time for the Russian economy to adapt to sanctions and grow stronger
2- About railways. I have read that hit railways does not have sense because they are really easy to repair, you spend expensive missiles in a infraestructure that is cheap. It’s better to hit the electrical supply.
3- I agree with destroying bridges in the Dniper. I don’t understand the fixation of Russia in not doing it
Rail bridges are a twofer, not as easy to repair. There were two options available, blow the bridges into Ukraine, stop the movement of armour weapons coming in, or let them keep coming and deal with it at the front ……we know which one Russia chose.
Should a continued phase, 6,7 I forget which one they are on atm, help in forcing the Ukraine to capitulate, Russia must feel they have successfully drawn down much of NATOs war stocks.
Cheers M
Allowing the Ukrainian armour to reach the front in order to deal with that armour at the front would make sense if Russia had sufficient manpower and equipment at the front to deal with the approaching armour. But Russia does not have sufficient manpower and equipment at the front and so has to retreat in front of this approaching armour. Its going to be interesting to observe over the next week or 2 whether the Russians are going to run out of room to retreat first or whether the Ukrainians are going to run out of equipment and manpower first, definitely the Russians are going to have to recapture the lost territory again from the entrenched Ukrainians again. Maybe this advance and retreat business is going to be repeated multiple times until the Ukrainians and their assistants just get tired and give up.
– There will be more than enough pows to rebuild everything afterwards,
Putin is a Christian, not a leftist
Hair splitting…….but he’s far more Human than any other label one might wish to apply to him, just one man among many, all from different backgrounds. This is not religion against religion….. Russia is far to diversified to even go there, a western construct if anything……this is about Russia, the people.
– What would happen if the UK’s prison population suddenly increased by 400,000 people? That’s what occurred between 1939 and 1948, when thousands of Germans, Ukranians and others became Britain’s prisoners of war, according to a new book.
https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2010/nov/08/prisoner-of-war-camps-uk
In plain English, UK is not a Christian state.
And the same goes for Biden & Co of course.
If Russia continues these attacks less Russian soldiers will die, less Russian civilians will die, less Ukrainian civilians will die.
Lovely.
“What is there left to do?”
Remember, anglosaxons are defending their land in 3 Baltic rogue states.
Where should Russia defend its state? English channel, perhaps?
The “doing” has no limits, if you know what I mean. It’s all about the will…and the balls.
This is an apt summary. Yes, the Americans can declare victory and go home, just as they have done in all of the other countries in which they have meddled, bought corrupt governments, caused colour revolutions, sowed hatred among ethnic or religious groups, caused civil war and so forth. Ukraine is another feather in their cap.
I chanced on Prof. Mearsheimer on Youtube (2015) who talked about “the Midas touch in reverse”, perhaps meaning that anything touched is turned into garbage. Or it may mean that King Midas himself is turned into gold (profits of the military industrial complex) and thus is immobilized, unable to move.
Left behind are the Ukrainians, they are the victims, used by their false friends. One must also pray for them. At least the East and South have been liberated. At least Joe Biden and Liz Truss will amuse us with their ineptitude.
“You know about Afghanistan. You know about Iraq. You know about Libya. You know about Ukraine. Seems to me the United States has the Midas touch in reverse. It’s really quite remarkable” (2015)

Hi Dmitri
What evidence do you have that Alaska was leased rather than purchased and that the lease expired
in 1966 ?
Thank you
TOM123
Its a tory that has always fascinating me @Tom123, but I can’t find any solid evidence to support the idea that it was merly a 99-year lease of Alaska.
Perhaps the best clue that it was a genuine sale and not a lease is that Russia was so vast, that especially in those times, it was a logistical nightmare to properly administer Alaska… at the time it probably seemed like a pretty good deal.
Personally, I thought that Russia might as well sell it for a pittance rather than have it inevitably annexed by the West when they simply couldn’t defend the territory effectively anyway.
Quoted from…
https://www.rbth.com/arts/2014/04/20/why_did_russia_sell_alaska_to_the_united_states_36061.html
“Then the Crimean War broke out, and Britain, France and Turkey stood against Russia. It became clear that Russia could neither supply nor defend Alaska — the sea routes were controlled by the allies’ ships. Even the prospect of mining gold dimmed. There was a fear that the British might block Alaska, and then Russia would be left with nothing.
Tensions between Moscow and London grew, while relations with the American authorities were warmer than ever. Both sides almost simultaneously came up with the idea of selling Alaska. So Baron Eduard de Stoeckl, Russia’s envoy in Washington, opened talks with U.S. secretary of state William Seward on behalf of the tsar.”
The official handover of the land occurred in Novoarkhangelsk. The American and Russian soldiers lined up next to the flagpole, from which the Russian flag started its descent to the accompaniment of a canon salute. However, the flag got tangled at the top of the pole. The sailor who climbed up for it threw it down, and it accidentally landed on Russian bayonets. It was a bad omen! Afterward, the Americans started requisitioning the buildings of the town, which was renamed Sitka. Several hundred Russians who decided not to take American citizenship had to evacuate on merchant ships, and they did not reach home until the following year.
The cartographic fall-out over Crimea
A short time passed, and gold started flowing from the “ice box”: The Klondike gold rush started in Alaska, bringing the States hundreds of millions of dollars. Of course it was insulting. But it is impossible to know how relations between the world’s largest powers would have developed if Russia had not escaped in time from the problematic and unprofitable region, which only talented and courageous merchants, but not navy bureaucrats, could extract revenue from.”

This is a brilliant article. Piercing insights spiced with droll, and at times equally piercing humour.
Bravo.
Perhaps Dmitri would consider updating it, or better still write a new article to include General Armageddon’s arrival in theatre.
“As for the Americans, I really don’t see any face-saving way for them out of this. They should just do what they always do under such circumstances: declare victory and go home.”
Never underestimate the willingness and commitment of the US, UK and Israeli governments to undertake acts of evil at any time and under any circumstances, no matter how many people they kill, no matter how much infrastructure they destroy, no matter how economic damage they cause to others or themselves.
In sharp focus for the last sixty years and indirectly for over a century, the US, UK and Israeli governments have not worked for their people but have instead worked for their financial masters.
Syphilis experiments, LSD experiments, poison gas experiments, nuclear radiation experiments, cannon fodder in Vietnam, 34 dead sailors on the USS Liberty, 9/11, manufactured recessions, manufactured depressions, manufactured Covid, etc., etc. the people do not matter and neither does the world.
@ Richard Braverman
You are correct, they would rather see the world destroyed.
You forgot to put the Vatican and Switzerland on your list !!!
TOM123
Well said Richard… you outlined the wildcard. perfectly.
I wouldn’t put anything past this combination of western psychos.
Words from Pink Floyd’s song “Brain Damage”
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon
” They should just do what they always do under such circumstances: declare victory and go home.”
And make movies about how they won, and what heroes all the Americans were, and what terrible, insane cave men Russian men are, verging on the cannibalistic.
Kudos Sir, a nice job. I know that the topic is deadly serious but after so much serious news, topics and debates from forums such as this and others like it, it was a welcome relief to be updated with a wry smile on my face.
From the fear porn of the lamestream media, the trolls causing angst to serious debate, the rising call and answer by the Escalational Chorus to those that we call in Australia, ” Monday morning experts” , a little light relief was needed without denigrating the seriousness of the sitrep you skillfully penned.
One point though. Like Tom123 said I’d like to know more about the Alaska statement as well?
I thought that it was legally purchased not leased.
Now Hawaii OTOH is a different story.
I’m not sure if it was on this esteemed site or one of the various others that I haunt that Hawaii was mentioned in reply to the West not recognising the recent referendums held. I thought that was a perfect retort but, Alaska?
Please explain?
P.s. a Monday morning expert is a term used to describe all the sports mad yobbos at work on Monday morning who all know in hindsight how their game of choice could’ve or should’ve been played or would’ve if they were in charge.
Mr. Orlov sounds calm, assured, bemused, perhaps slightly irritated but understandably so–and most of all, wise.
Mr. Roberts sounds frustrated and desperate to be proved correct.
On September 30, V. Putin gave the most important speech that any leader has made in these two centuries, a manifesto for the future. Well, the blowing up of the bridge has served to make us all forget what the president said.
Cute… but if, and when, we have a Civil War 2.0 in the US, please stay out of it.
When we’re done, we’ll send you Russkies an invitation to our new President… Trump or something like that.
And you can manage the prison camp in Guantanamo… you can call it a gulag if you wish. We’ll send you the Clintons and their machines, Obola, the Biden family and all of the top cabal in the Deep State. Hopefully the Western Euros will send their globalist and bankers and the top echelon in Brussels.
Alaska… forget about it. It’s ours. A bunch of nice people that like the “drill, baby drill”. We don’t want to have to send Chuck Norris up there, now do we?
Once we get rid of the Deep State, after a Civil War that deposes the entrenched corruption but leaves our property values and 401K untouched (!!), we can become friends.
You do have a nice country there in Russia. Great history, culture and even access to good Cuban food – I sure hope, that’s seriously better, IMHO, than boiled cabbage.
Personally, we can meet in Sochi and have a great dinner. I’ll bring some California Pinot Noir and you guys bring the good vodka…
Friends in peace.
yup it’s the greed like yours that got USA as a war mongerer in the first place. same with the chutzpah, friends when you decide it should be…
Cabbage is very healthy. It should not be boiled too long.
Russian military is fighting thousands of mercenaries mainly from Eastern Europe, US and UK. These mercenaries are getting paid somewhere around 3000 to 5000 dollars per day, as reported. For the NATO thugs this war is the good time to make lots of money and the goal is to stay alive as long as possible, the longer they live the more money they make. Of course NATO mercenaries would rather hang about inside secure trenches pretending to fight the Russians, in turn they push clueless/brainwashed Ukrainian wannabes to go in the open and face the heroic Russian troops. In a video clip published on the South Front, one can watch how these guys hide in their trenches. 20 of such a NATO-paid thugs don’t equal a single soldier who knows what he’s doing, why and what he is fighting for, like the LPR, DPR, Chechens and Russians.
Thanks. Wonderful read.
And yes, how things are developing we might soon see Alaska applying to rejoin the Russian Federation :)
