Ok, I have to admit that I don’t know anything about this guy or about his “Goblin news”, and his choice of metaphors is not always the most delicate but, man, he really “pins” this situation perfectly. His analysis, simple yet spot on, is much better than 99.99999% of what is written in the western press so I urge you all to listen to what this guys says. For those who do not understand Russian, please press on the ‘cc’ button on the bottom right of the video to turn on captions in English or in German (there are even subtitles in Ukrainian!).
Great stuff, highly recommended.
Enjoy!

I have enjoyed thanks Saker.
Might God bless Russia.

Certainly a ‘colorful’ explanation of events.
Saker, new leaks on Klitchko:
“destabilize the country” and “meet expectations of western friends”:

Color can also add a sense of “reality” to events which otherwise threaten to fall into “unreality.” Enjoyed it a lot – and have spread it around. Thanks

Very good, agree 100%
Please, Saker, see this. Can you understand what’s being said?

I second anonymous
but spell colourful like a Canadian
didn’t get through it all, but, will go back to it
This just in from Robert Fisk of the Independent:
A reminder that Russia was once the good guy
Staying with World War Two, “Stalingrad the movie” has an American version (Enemy at the Gates), a German version (Stalingrad) and now Fyodor Bondarchuk’s Russian version (Stalingrad again).
Jude Law’s portrayal of sniper Zaitsev and his love affair with a Soviet radio translator got howled down in the Russian Duma. The German film showed the Nazis at their worst but had the Wehrmacht leave Italy for Russia on a modern electric train.
Bondarchuk’s fearful 130-minute epic, which I watched in Canada last week, beats them both. Partly based on the diaries of Vasily Grossman – by far the finest Soviet writer of the Second World War, way ahead of anything by Solzhenitsyn – it follows the last days of a platoon of Red Army soldiers and seamen confronting Friedrich von Paulus’s Sixth Army in the wrecked home of a lone Russian girl.
Her family have all died but she refuses to leave her bombed house; Mariya Smolnikova’s portrayal of 19-year-old Katya is breathtaking.
In a war movie of immense violence, she is as close to perfect as a refugee whose soul is both mutilated by war and ennobled by struggle – because she underplays every moment.
At a time when we all hate Russians again – Ukraine, the Crimea – it’s worth being reminded of a time when they were the good guys and when Hitler thought he represented “Western civilisation”.
Not a bad film then, especially – as someone said – if you want to know what it’s like to be shot in the throat.
100% Truth, but of course, the ‘people’ usually don’t like the truth.
Pure genius and I will have to watch it again because I laughed so hard. :)
Thanks Saker for finding this and putting it up on the blog.

The anchorman’s subtitled commentary is akin to George Carlin’s, which is appropriate. The linkage between the Nazis, CIA and NATO was subtle but properly made.
Also important is Putin’s letter to the EU made available today by itar-tass, http://en.itar-tass.com/russia/727287 It seems clear the EU never responded to Putin’s several attempts at dialog because the US said NO, just as what was told to the Venezuelan Nazis in that related conflict.
IMO, the US/NATO is more than content to have a failed state sitting on Russia’s doorstep, and thus nothing of any consequence will be done to help the average Ukrainian.
I think there are still quite a few things Russia can do to help Eastern Ukrainians short of invasion.
1) The simplest and least risky is to identify all the mid level officers responsible for the coming crackdown and publish there names as widely as possible. Also add their contact info. It might even be possible to arrange a phone call from Russia secret services and war them that they are being watched and that they should not think their crimes will go unnoticed. This can be a cheap, low risk but effective form of psychological warfare.
2) I wonder how possible it would be for Russian special forces to act as plain cloth guerrilla fighters who launch hit and run attacks on pro coup forces besieging government buildings in the east. This can quickly sap moral and prevent pro putsch forces from concentrating on taking the buildings.
This is a more dangerous option, but can also be effective and is deniable.
All this adds to the Kiev regime’s dificulties and stress and could speed up their eventrual collapse when combined with the economic pressure they are under.
Just some thoughts.
@Lysander: your second idea is very risky because should something go wrong it would create an international scandal. Also, the possible targets are probably not worth the risk.
You first idea is better, but it runs into two problems: the SVR/FSB/GRU are large organizations with a heavy bureaucracy and they administrative momentum makes it difficult for them to react rapidly. What you describe could best be done by the GRU, but they have to be careful not to create a provable incident which would embarrass the Kremlin and get them into heaps of trouble. The other problem is cultural, especially for the Russian military/security mindset: Russians don’t believe in threats. They typically think that when you threaten, you are trying to avoid a confrontation. So I would say that it is more likely that they would actually end up arranging an “accident” for this or that nationalist leader then threaten him with reprisals. The good news is that the folks in command of the Ukie security (repression) forces already know that and the fact that they are not getting threatening phone calls from across the border does not at all mean that they are safe. The bad news is that they are either crazy fanatics or ruthless thugs and they understand that their skins are now all on the line. Iarosh and Parubii will probably meet a violent death, as might any military commander involved in the upcoming bloodbath.
Remember Alexander Muzuchko (aka “Sashko Bilyi”?). Would you waste your time trying to threaten a guy like that? And when the regime executed him – did that scare off any of his supporters? Exactly.
Folks like that can only be killed one by one. Like in Chechnia. Threatening them makes no more sense than trying to reason with them. This is sad, but this is my sincere conclusion: some folks just need to be shot dead. Sorry if I sound cynical, it pains me to admit that, especially for somebody like me who is opposed to the death penalty. But there are circumstances when the the state and the nation are basically in a situation of legitimate self-defense and when shooting to kill is the only option left.
To me the Ukrainian neo-Nazis are every bit as bad as the Chechen Wahabis. Putin and Kadyrov offered a deal to the truly patriotic field commanders and a lot of them did switch sides when they understood what was going on and where all this was headed. But the rest had to be killed one by one, from Dudaev himself to Umarov recently. One the genie of hateful terrorism is out of the bottle it cannot be put back. It has to be killed. Again, sorry for the bitter words, but, as always, I call it as I see it: sooner or later those Nazis will have to be eliminated, killed, one by one.
Kind regards and sorry for the sad reply,
The Saker
Saker, I get where you’re coming from. I’m truly scared to ask this but you know I’ve got to: what recourse do we have here in the US? What can we do to stop what’s going on in our name and with our tax dollars, both here and everywhere else? I used to think I knew the answer(s). I don’t anymore.
SAKER,
This is especially for you.
Kind regards,

At the end of WW2, despite many Nazis and fascists being killed, many escaped. They were welcomed with open arms by the West, moving in their thousands to refuges in Canada, the USA, Bolivia, Australia etc. Even big monsters like Gehlen and Bandera went straight to working for the USA and the Nazi successor regime in West Germany. These fascists were used in Western terror wars throughout the Third World, and, after Gorbachev’s surrender, they and their descendants flowed back to Ukraine, the Baltics, Croatia etc, and returned to the fascist ways of their forebears immediately. No doubt the tendency to fascism is both genetic and learned in the home and in other forms of socialisation.
The truth, as anyone who has studied US atrocities and the history of the ruling US elite knows, is that the USA is the successor state to Nazism, as well as being a cancer of its own creation, since 1776, for tens of millions of its victims. It prowls the world killing and destroying in order to keep the world safe for pillage by its elites and those of a few stooge regimes. And now they have met an immovable object, Putin, who, if he succeeds, without precipitating nuclear war, in standing in Moloch’s path, will re-write history, because, like a cancer, when the USA can no longer expand, it will necrose.
