Okay, I am going to ask you to make a real effort and, for a while at least, drop your certitudes and what you believe is a good or a bad way to prosecute a war. Instead, I am going to appeal to your common sense.
Long before the Russian Special Military Operation (SMO) in the Ukraine started, but following the Russian ultimatum, I indicated many times that what Russia would be doing is the following: ask for negotiations and if the other side rejects them, Russia would turn up the “pain dial”, slowly, step by step. If the other side agreed to negotiations, but then used them to stall and negotiate in bad faith, same response: Russia would turn up the pain dial. A little. Step by step.
And do WHAT exactly next???
What is the point of turning on the pain dial and remaining silent?
The purpose of the pain dial is to convince your enemy to agree to substantive talks. Conversely, that means that turning the pain dial WITHOUT offering talks simply makes no sense.
Yeah, yeah, I know, in Zone A NOT to negotiate with the enemy is a sign of manhood, virility, courage, prowess and being “Presidential”. Which did not stop the Ubermacho Trump from… … negotiating with “Rocket Man” and then end up being totally screwed over by him. So, I get it, when you are used to stupid politicians, you do not want negotiations, or you end up with SNAFUs like Biden telling the 82nd in Poland about “you will be there” (that is in the Ukraine!).
But please understand that Russian politicians are not as stupid as yours.
And a country with smart and well-educated diplomats does not need to fear talks, quite the contrary.
Lavrov vs Bliken – you get what I mean?
Next, another Zone A hangup: the goal of a war.
In Zone A, wars are to be fought towards maximal destruction of lives and infrastructure. That is what the US promises its enemies “we will bomb you to the stone age” and that is what Uncle Shmuel did to Iraq. Only to eventually lose that war too (ditto for all the other wars the US has ever fought since WWII).
In Zone B people understand that the goal of a war is to achieve a political outcome.
As Ho Chi Minh tried to explain to his ignorant counterparts “you can kill ten of our men for every one we kill of yours. But even at those odds, you will lose and we will win“.
“Just” mass murder achieves very little and the little it does achieve is never long lasting. And nobody looks very “Presidential” after getting his ass handed to him!
For the Kremlin, this is a no brainer: you always talk to anybody worth talking to, especially if these talks increases your chances to:
- Lose less soldiers
- Lose less equipment
- Kill less people (on both sides)
- Preserve the civilian infrastructure
- Get a sense of how your enemy is doing and feeling
- Prove to your own and foreign public opinion that you are using violence only as a last resort
- Only slowly increasing the pain on your pain dial, thereby making each increase more sensitive
- Save immense sums of money
- Have somebody on the other side to sign a declaration of surrender
- Allow the country which you defeated to recover faster and better
What did the US ignoramuses do in Iraq?
- First they did bomb it viciously and genocidally (Madeleine Aldumb admitted that openly!)
- Then they invaded with the “kill! kill! kill!” mindset.
- Then they declared victory.
- Then they got stuck and defeated.
- Then they shamefully had to run with their tails tucked.
General Shamanov vs General Petraeus – you get what I mean?
Now I do NOT want Russia to follow this no doubt “brilliant” US plan.
Turning the Ukraine into Iraq is NOT what Russia wants or needs.
So, and especially for those alternatively gifted or really mentally stuck in Zone A:
Russia is doing the absolutely correct thing by negotiating and talking with pretty much everybody and anybody. The problem is not the fact of talks, it is the dismal way the Russians (superb negotiators but sub-pathetic PR people) presented the information, which they did only partially, rather ambiguously and with all the wrong faces doing the talking.
The benefit of this PR disaster was a wave of rage and patriotism which is now even way higher than it was at the initiation of combat operations. There is a kind of an informal referendum going on in Russia where people vote with their feet to go to the local recruitment center and volunteer for combat in the Ukraine!
Now the center of gravity of this operation is clearly going to go to the big cauldron containing two more cauldrons in the Donbass.
Nobody really knows how many Ukrainian soldiers are left alive there, what their condition and morale are, and how much of their deep defenses still stand. But here is what we do know:
- This is the biggest Ukrainian force in the entire theater of operations
- There are AT LEAST several TENS OF THOUSAND soldiers still left
- These were the best trained and equipped forces of the Ukrainian military
- The way the Nazis organized them is, roughly, that in each Ukrainian “brigade” there is at least one bona fide Nazi “battalion” tasked with making darn sure that nobody negotiates with the Russians or, if they do, that those who do quickly get dispatched.
In these conditions a direct assault by Russian forces is always an option, they have proven in Mariupol and Avdeevka that they can do that when needed. I remind you that during WWII the Soviet Union liberated 1’200 (one thousand two hundred!) towns and cities from Nazi occupiers. The Russian military knows more about urban warfare than any other army on the planet, especially modern urban warfare.
But it would be INFINITELY better to convince these Ukrainian forces (which are doomed, and they understand that!) to surrender and, for that goal, offer them some kind of “out” which would include some tangible concessions/rewards for those units who will accept the inevitable and surrender.
The same goes for the “big” top level negotiations in Belarus or Turkey. Here is what Lavrov declared today about these talks. The Ukrainian side agreed to:
- No nukes for the Ukraine
- No NATO for the Ukraine
- No alliances of any kind and a neutral Ukraine
- Give up any claims on Crimea and the Donbass
Now if you do not see these as major concessions, you have issues I cannot help you with.
I will just say that many Ukie propagandists instantly dismissed it all as “false” just as they have, apparently, “resurrected/transported” the two Ukrainian soldiers who tortured Russian POWs to a location in Kiev. The truth is that these are painful and major concessions. Hence the desperate Ukie (and, really, US!) needs to present ANY negotiations as “5min to total surrender” by the Russians – the reality is too awful for the leaders of the Empire of Lies to even contemplate, let alone admit.
Add to this the “disarmament” of the Ukraine by the Russian armed forces and you will see that things are going pretty fantastically well, especially for such a short and RELATIVELY small and limited operation. At least that is true for the military aspect. Info operations, alas, not so much :-(
Finally, and as always, I remind you that this is not, repeat, NOT, about the Ukraine.
Disarming and denazifying the Ukraine is only a means towards a much more important goal: the future collective security architecture of a post-NATO Europe which, in turn, is just the cornerstone of all of international security.
So, the goal is NOT to denazify the Ukraine, that is a means towards the goal, the real goal is to denazify the planet.
Oh I know, very few, if any, in Zone A will see that as anything but totally over the top hyperbole. Why?
It’s a mental block: most folks in Zone A think of themselves and their country as somehow “indispensable”, but they are wrong. Far from being indispensable, they need to be permanently re-educated (over several generations!) and eventually integrated into Zone B as a “normal”, morally and mentally sane, country.
This, by the way, also implies NEGOTIATIONS with the US, NATO and all of Zone A!
And if Zone A does not want to negotiate anything? Correctomundo! You turn up the pain dial, and ask again. Then repeat until Zone A accepts talks.
It’s that simple, really.
My very last comment will be this: right now, the purely military aspects of the SMO are taking second place to the economic cataclysm which Zone A brought upon itself (and much of the world). The Eurolemmings especially are only slowly beginning to discover the immene joy and privilege of being a member of the European Reichsgau of Empire of Lies truly is!
What can I say? They SO richly deserve this….
And if all of the above is just Putinist propaganda, by all means, send a letter to the Russian General Staff, ask for a meeting, and explain to all these boneheads how warfare “your way” is so much superior to warfare “their way”. Begin by listing all the heroic victories which your country has ever won.
Or apply to the CIA. They actually might hire you! :lol:
Andrei
All evils of the world we are seeing are just manifestation of the Root Evil. The Root Evil has a name and it is called Dollar. The dollar is the strength of empire of lies and is also the achillis tendon of the empire of lies. Russia and China, started with liberation of Daneske, has embarked on the road to slay the dollar (VVP said this conflict is not about Ukraine alone but things of much grander nature). Once dollar falls the empire of lies will implode along with it’s financial and military apparatus, as well as all vassal states. The victory for multipolarists are very near, I can sense it….
Sorry but I think you are 100% Wrong. Dollar is not at all evil or root of Evil. Satan is evil. Dollar can do good such as buy medicine, food, clothing, build a factory, etc. Dollar can also effect bad things such as buy cocaine, heroin, bribe government officials, etc, etc. It is a medium of exchange, Capiche?
Solomon I think you are confusing Dollar with Money
From the book Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind by master Shunriu Suzuki Roshi:
Rinzai, an ancient Chinese Zen master analyzed the way of teaching his disciples by dividing it into four systems. Sometimes he spoke of the disciple himself; sometimes he spoke of the teaching itself; sometimes it provided an interpretation of the disciple or of the teaching; finally, he sometimes gave no instruction to his own disciples. He knew that, even without any education, a student is a student. When you hear nothing from your teacher, but just sit in meditation, this is called teaching without teaching.
Regarding Russia’s poor PR capabilities, perhaps we can imagine that they are adopting this method (or at least I hope it is). Russia is the teacher who does not speak, Europe is the student who must learn even without teaching. But will Europe be able to sit in meditation to understand the essence of teaching? Maybe after a cold and frosty winter…
“analyzed the way of teaching his disciples by dividing it into four systems.”
Many “masters” including Tsun Tsu are dead, but have informed their own transcendence by framing their observations within frameworks of their times and context which others have updated and laterally developed – the four systems being predicated on the contemporay context and understanding of thermo-dynamics (interactions).
“Regarding Russia’s poor PR capabilities”
Evaluation is a function of purpose and facility, and if the facility is limited to emulation no transcendence can be achieved, merely replication which precludes transcendence and evaluation of such processes of transcendence.
The purpose of the Russian Federation and its associates is to transcend coercive social relations facilitated by perception management, by mutually beneficial developing cooperative social relations informed by concious avoidance of emulation of coercive social relations.
Consequently a new culture has been gestating over a period in excess of 9 months, and is making some steps whilst ocassionally being perceived as falling over as the opponents expect/hope catalysing their abhorrance of “failure”, and hence hope/interpret this as “The Russians are losing” and “Russia has poor PR ” when the opponents are really iterating the following:
Russia is not emulating us
What we do is always best
Russia must be wrong
Russia must be losing
Russia even has poor PR
“When you hear nothing from your teacher, but just sit in meditation..”
Specific vectors of vulnerability tend to be culturally specific and variable.
For example in coercive social relations based upon competition, interlocuters are encouraged to seek attribution and hence significance, thereby avoiding meditation – the over-writing of self or almost any discovery through self-promotion.. This is a popular practice of the oxymoron “American analysts/strategists” as you may have observed.
“the teaching”
The notion of teaching is predicated on the notion of transfer from a “master” to a “pupil”, a power relationship of giving and receiving; not primarily of sharing, with some degrees of coercion, the degrees of coercion increasing when the purpose is perception management, but in some social relations such as Wu Shu these practices are avoided.
“But will Europe be able to sit in meditation to understand the essence of teaching? Maybe after a cold and frosty winter”
A good question badly framed although understandable.
“Europe” is a geo-political construct and hence is neither a constant nor animate.
Some people who live in the geo-political construct designated as “Europe” are informed by social relations facilitating meditation most of where the focus is on self, whilst some are informed by social relations facilitating collective cooperative meditations, which to some may seem an oxymoron.
Many do not have such opportunity as a function of tempos managed by others within which, and by which, the many “live” there lifes.
It is very useful when others believe in the existence of “Russia’s poor PR capabilities” and or “Russia has lost” so don’t challenge these illusions, encourage them. although with adequate function the illusions can be encouraged by challenge, which often catalyses the process above – a sidestep into updated notions of “The Art of War”
Ideology is like a swimming pool – when you emerge from it you still carry water droplets, whilst the only constant is change.
Enjoy your way.

Why are you talk like The Architect from Matrix? :)
Kadirov is saying that there should not be any negotiation with nazis. They should be eliminated.
If these negotiations are a feint to let believe the nazis that they are winning and induce them to get out of the wood then is might be a good idea Future will tell us
But why giving more time to buy gas with rubles to countries having sanctionned Russia This is detrimental to Moscow’s credibility
Zone A is exploiting negotiations and delay to pay gas in rubles to demonstrate that Russia’ special operation is a failure and that Putin is searching a way to minimize the consequence of this adventure.
Any reports about Halliburton trucks proceeding military vehicles in the Ukrainian invasion in the staging area – IQMWLTK
Should I invest in WP production chemicals after a spree in Fallujah.
Then again I might start a depleted uranium mitigation business to recover freedom rounds spent on built up urban/city locations.
Being a rational agent is hard.
Got to wonder if the result of a PR cycle is more support from your people instead of less support, could it be characterized as sub? Or was it rather super? PR is not for the other guys’ side necessarily and some of them would be convinced by no messaging of any kind.
…..The way the Nazis organized them is, roughly, that in each Ukrainian “brigade” there is at least one bona fide Nazi “battalion” tasked with making darn sure that nobody negotiates with the Russians or, if they do, that those who do quickly get dispatche……..
Saker – do you have any more information on this ? Would make a fine article (paging Nightvision )
Even when Russia gets all the concessions it asked for, guess what the Zone A morons are gonna say: ‘Russia didn´t capture and take over ukraine, so it lost!! HAHAHA!!!´ That´s how mentally deficient these people are.
And forget about making them understand, or even pointing out to them that Russia got all it wanted at the beginning, and thta it was never about taking ukraine. No. They will insist that it was about conquering all of ukraine, and since that didn´t happen, Russia failed.
“So, the goal is NOT to denazify the Ukraine, that is a means towards the goal, the real goal is to denazify the planet.”
Exactly. denaZify means deNATO, but a new security architecture for all nations is then urgently needed.
A petition is circulating in NATO vassal states which gives a window to the future, and everyone here has a chance to get involved, shrug off their Yoke of servitude :
Convoke an International Conference to Establish A New Security and Development Architecture for All Nations

Nothing to loose but slavery, right?
The pain level increasing has forced EU greenies to revive Desertec, the 2010 plan to cover the Sahara in solar panels to power the EU with cables through the Mediterranean. It collapsed like Obama’s Solyndra boondoggle.
What pain level will it take to bring such ideologues to their senses?
The problem with this is that ordinary voters are in the torture chamber, and ideologues get to fly to exotic meetings such as the UAE begging for oil, which is where Desertec reps. turned up.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
“Power”
The “rule of law” is a cloak worn by the rule of man.
The “law” is a tool of coercion designed and wielded by those who can, in furtherance of the continued sustainability of their social relations, based on precedent which can be modulated not transcended in reaction to challenge, to maintain the rule of man by the “rule of law”.
“Jurisdiction” is a function of another illusion namely “the nation state” predicated on yet another
illusion of we-are-all-in-this-togetherness which facilitates the voluntary surrender of agency to
“representatives” whom are deemed to be subject to “the rule of law”.
The way to transcend the “rule of law/rule of man” is to transcend the social relations from which “the rule of law/rule of man is derived.
A purpose of the Eurasian project is to transcend the coercive social relations self-misrepresented as
“The United States of America” by social relations based upon mutual cooperative agency, one of the reasons why the Russian Federation and its associates are existential threats to “The United States of America” where cooperation/conformance is facilitated by various forms of coercion designated as “rules based order”
You can of course continue to dance and ponder within “the rule of law” since there are remaining
contradictions within “law” which can be addressed linearly in conformance with “law”thereby
iterating “the rule of law”, but there are no conflicts in Priti Patel’s Power over Assange – to paraphrase Ms Dionne Warwick – that’s what laws are for – ergo it is the normal practice within coercive social relation to attain conformance by cooperation/coercion.
As a character in Mr. Dicken’s Oliver Twist observed – The law is an ass – whom some perceive as a racehorse of fine pedigree, encouraged by illusions that “these” truths are self-evident.
Mr. Assange and his representatives to some degree were immersed in that illusion, whilst his
opponents and their representatives were not so immersed by understanding that it is about “power”
facilitated by cooperation/conformance through coercion, as it has been throughout.
The problem of the concessions is that it is impossible to enforce them without military force.
The West or Ukro government cannot be trusted.
I don’t like the sound of this… is Germany turning up some kind of pain dial? via rt
The German offices of Russian state energy giant and major gas exporter Gazprom were searched by European officials, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, citing sources that “wished to remain anonymous.”
The raid was conducted amid the investigation into the company’s role in the rise of natural gas prices in Europe, which have soared over the past month.
Authorities searched the offices of Gazprom’s subsidiaries in Germany, Gazprom Germania and Wingas, which, according to Bloomberg, account for roughly 20% of Germany’s gas supplies.
The publication notes that Europe has been grappling with an energy crisis since last fall, which, officials claim, kicked off when Gazprom stopped booking additional supply volumes at a time when gas supplies in EU stores were already running low. Back then, Gazprom was accused of “abuse of power,” with EU officials claiming it deliberately reduced supplies in order to pressure politicians to speed up the launch of Russia’s newly built, but still uncertified, Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
wonder who authorised this raid . state or Ministry or local government or tax peoples on what grounds sabotage criminality ..fraud? Shades of USA actions against Russian diplomatic properties? Feels like they are looking at finding grounds for breach of contract or “illegal” pricing so they can say they have overpayed to get an allowance or refund or withhold it so they can pay in euros on their terms ..Ukr and another country ?? went to some claims court –Helsinki-?- few years ago claiming unfair pricing and wanting refunds .
Wonder if this event could sabotage the “accomodations” agreements that seem to be happening between Germany and Russia…note the former is still supplying bazookas etc to the Ukraine…surprise surprise…..
The means must reflect the ends. If what Russia wants is a world where brutality and violence are not standard operating procedure, where every nation is respected, where leaders look out for their people not themselves, then Russia must behave in a way that exemplifies those values. That’s why it shows restraint in operating its military. That’s why it talks even to a fool like Zelensky because he is Ukraine’s de jure leader. That’s why it seeks to honor contracts even with those who have declared themselves Russia’s enemy.
It’s not easy being the midwife to a new world. It requires great patience, abundant empathy and steely resolve. Russia and its great friend China have what is required to deliver this child.
Tibet could not be reached for comment.
Troops need rest and rotation, also, why not tempt the overconfident into leaving Kiev and going after the “retreating” Russians, it’s not like Russia doesn’t do that. Perhaps many citizens of Kiev may take the excuse to leave too. Finally some of the horror stories are leaking to people outside and they will be seized on by people who don’t want further intervention. The so called neutral Swiss have created sophisticated defences for the Ukrainians and it will not be easy to overcome them all at once. If you can tempt your enemy by pride to leave his fortifications then you can have a trap ready. Pride is expensive, the information war only matters to keyboard warriors like me, the real war it what matters.

There is not the unity in the West that they would like to portray. The UK have been humiliated by the Saudi, Pakistani and the Indian governments, how the wheel turns! If Macron is not re elected, France will loose it’s desire for pain very quickly, this will have knock on effects on other nations that have been bullied into being anti Russian. Already there are people in the West jumping on the horror videos coming out of the conflict as a way of backtracking on support now that they are beginning to understand the money (not blood, after all that is cheap and always belongs to some one else) price of support for Ukraine.
It is also clear, as pedo Joe let out, that the fake movies and false flags have been prepared for publication should Russia enter Kiev. There are lots of videos showing the recording of fake atrocities that will be played to the West non stop. Joe told us, some sexy Ukrainian MILF trying to be Tiananmen square bag man! As most Americans live inside a Hollywood movie, this will play well to their childish nature. The troops got an eyeful of the old fool and weren’t impressed. Sending Joe to Europe was a mistake, the saw a failing old man.
You wrote that the Ukrainian side agreed to:
Give up any claims on Crimea and the Donbass
May I ask where they agreed to this.
Besides do u realize how much demoralisation these sudden negotiations cause in the ranks
Germany..
Just heard some f*cktard professor on German TV gloating how certain it was that Russia would end up accepting the Europeans paying for Gas in euros.
That VV Putin was surprised at the strength and unity of the EU…
and that being tough was the only language Putin understands. He just had to cave in.
So please, VVP, can you just wreck those idiots and their idiotic economy?
Let them pay for any commodity in GOLD. Yes, gold, you don’t need Rubles, which you can print at will yourself.
Deflate those egos, PLEASE
It’s gold or silver, period.
Putin has given the EU the option to pay for Russian gas in rubles or gold ingots.
Gold will be credited at $1,600 per troy ounce. The current price of gold on NYMEX is $1,935 per troy ounce.
Russia does not really need the gold, since it is the world’s second largest producer at 331 tons per year
I thought that Russia’s ultimatum extended beyond just Ukraine (which should no longer exist as a territory under that name)?
We know that NATO is a terrorist organisation. NATO exists purely to threaten/destroy Russia. Therefore, I’m of the view that Russia should destroy NATO now unless NATO agrees to pull back its borders to agreements signed in 1997.
Having made that point, I am not willing to sacrifice lives of soldiers of the Russian Federation in order to destroy NATO.
welcome to the lunatic UK…the various articles around this sort of thing are good comedy…..to rescue 160000 trapped in Mariupol….presumably Azov and some citizens….just as daft as that rescue helo shut down the other day…
”
The Prime Minister is considering ‘going up a gear’ in support for Ukraine and wants to target the ‘human catastrophe’ in Mariupol.
‘The question is, can we help the Ukrainians relieve Mariupol?’ he told the Commons liaison committee.
‘Would armour, would APCs [armoured personnel carriers] be useful for them [or] armoured Land Rovers? We are certainly looking at that.’
A Government source said later: ‘We’re open to sending them armoured vehicles if useful and if practicable to get them there, although the view is that will be difficult.”
yup come say hullo to the Chechens…..
hmmmmm…some kinda realism from Britains former army commander
Asked on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme about NATO’s response to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, General Parker said: ‘Slightly controversially I suppose, I mean Nato’s been defeated, Nato’s bluff was called.
‘We were unable to stop the Russians trampling all over Ukraine and now Nato is holding the line of the 2004 expansion, along the line of the Baltic states and Poland and Hungary and Romania.
He continued: ‘And what it has to do is to defend that line, it’s in what in military terms we would call a defensive position. And I don’t think it has the capacity to move on to the offensive with its 30 nations all with slightly different views.
‘We need to have a smaller coalition of nations who can start to develop an offensive counter-strategy to Putin.’
Russia can never win a PR war against the western propaganda machine. And they know it. All the communication resources and means are in the hands of the West.
But as long as they win the real war, both economic and military, the cardboard castle of western propaganda will fall at the end. Real world results are the best PR approach under current circumstances.
No, Saker, the goal is not to de-nazify “the whole planet” because the NAZI’s are only present on two continents – Europe and the USA.
NYET! This sounds as snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory.
What about liberating Odessa, the city of my grandmother?
What about the coastal corridor all the way to Krim?
What about denazification, aborted?
What about the tribunals for war crimes?
What about the mini Banderastan?
All to the garbage so West can bloat about the defeat of Russia?
With whom are you negotiating? These are powerless puppets.
Russia will never be able to please West.
Russians must put in their thick heads that as long as they allow Western LGBTQ civilization in their heartland they are doomed to fail, get rid of the Mc Donalds, PIzza Hut, Starbucks, etc.
Nationalize western companies, they stole your reserves, so show some spine.

Active duty NATO personnel that stayed too long and now can’t get out any other way.
France and the UK in particular have been making big waves all of a sudden about some kind of international effort to evacuate ‘civilians’ from the ‘horrors inflicted upon them’. Since when do they care about foreign civilian lives, especially those of pro-Russian Ukrainians? Makes you wonder if they might have ulterior motives, doesn’t it?
German politicians have betrayed their citizens. The should be in prison. The Great Reset headed by Klaus Schwab is in full swing in Germany. It seems to be a test ground for the 4th Industrial revolution.
http://space4peace.blogspot.com/2022/03/where-did-you-learn-what-you-think-you.html
Where did you learn what you think you know about Russia?
The government of Turkey has some hard explaining to do,and quick:
▫️The document dated December, 15, 2021 presents a response to request from Ukrainian Motor Sich company to the Turkish drone manufacturer Baykar Makina.
▫️Turkish drone manufacturer answers a number of questions of the Ukrainian side regarding the characteristics of its products.
❗️Questions 9 and 10 draw attention. Data on the maximum payload and aerosol spraying system/mechanism, with a capacity of over 20 litres, are required.
▫️Given the fact that the Russian Defence Ministry has already known about the implementation of US military biological programs in Ukraine under the guidance of DTRA, we can assume that the Bayraktars were planned to be adapted to spray chemical warfare substances over enemy territory, more precisely in his deep rear area, because the range of this UAV (Bayraktar Akinci) is almost 300 kilometres (twice as much as that of the standard TB2).
Ukrainian propagandists,no doubt. But also two of them are the President (somewhat) of Ukraine Zelensky,and the Ukrainian FM Kuleba,both publicly deny they will give up on having Crimea and Donbass. So make of that as it is?
The last Ukrainian negotiator to hint at concessions publicly, is dead. What would you make of that?
Cheers M
Why did Russia send Mr Bean and Columbo to negotiate? Expendable, if they get Arafated? Heaven forbid they become depressed and get Arkansided.

I haven’t listened to his second response yet. From the first one he emphasized the old saying: “the dogs keep on barking; the caravan keeps moving”
This man has apparently predicted many world events, or so I read here
https://t.me/VanessaBeeley/3692
In any case, he is worth listening to.
There will be a Great War, he says near the end. And Russia will win.
After that war, the next event will be the conquest of Constantinople, which was prophesized by xxxx (can’t make out the name)
Lukashenko might help negociations: I heard that crack 103rd paratrooper brigade from Vitebsk (Belarus) is itching to take Lutsk and Lvov.
I am hoping that there is some coordination in the denazifying the planet. American Clif High who is a software programmer who since 1997 has had a huge database that takes in giant amounts of info on the internet. He detects patterns to essentially predict future events. The elites leak things out. Clif has also pointed out that the NSA have their own building at Microsoft headquarters.
Clif has said Putin was picked many years ago by the Russian Orthodox Church. This is an 1,100 year old war between Russia-Russian Orthodox Church versus the Khazarian Mafia. Clif refers to the good guys as the SOC or Self Organizating Collective. The SOC is backing Trump, Putin and possibly Xi. Xi has people in China that are not acting in the best interest of the Chinese.
Clif tells the story opening with an odd made up story about Trump and Putin fighting ninjas. The story makes a point. One point is that Trump and Putin have the same enemies. They may not be actually working together.
https://beforeitsnews.com/opinion-conservative/2022/03/clif-high-dojo-dinner-with-trump-must-video-3622878.html
This all sounds a bit far fetched but Trump and Putin never had any issues. The Democrats and RINOs aka Soros-Rothschild and other people constantly drove a wedge saying Trump was acting with Putin and Russia. I think the reality is Trump and Putin are pretty much businessmen who think it is good for Americans and Russians to do business and not fight. Obviously, those in power (Soros-Rothschilds and their lackeys) want endless war and criminality.
The X22Report.com posts updates 6 nights a week. The A videos are Financial/Central bank (CB). CB being the Rothschilds. The B videos are politicial. Dave is the guy who makes the videos and he thinks Trump and Putin are loosely working together to take down the Deep State. Trump is saying Taiwan will be invaded by China. Why? More bioweapons labs. Just like Ukraine. Something really weird last night was Dave mentioned how Trump said that Putin should release any info they have on Biden or Hunter Biden.

Oddly today, The Gateway Pundit, who Trump has done interviews with, released a story with blurred photos of Russians at a fancy expensive home in West Hollywood, Calif. West means closer to the ocean which means a lot more expensive. There is gross blurred pictures of Hunter Biden.

I am think Hunter Biden blames his dad for being greedy, setting Hunter up for all of this and dad getting 10% or more. Hunter at this point is pretty much going to confess everything because they have all the stuff he has done.
So the point is, it appears there is some coordination amoung the “good” guys to take out the bad people. The Ukraine has been a money laundeirng, bioweapons lab, human smuggling, war crimes and endless other awful things used by the U.S. Congress, elites, globalists (WEF), Rothschilds and others to make the lives of Ukrainians, Americans and Russians miserable.
Hurting Ukraine is ineffective in a match off with the US ( and that is the “orchestrator” behind the Ukraine.)
Ukraine is a tool they can relinquish at will and at no cost.
From the Russian authorities:
The regime of temporary restriction of flights to Russian airports in the south and central part of Russia has been extended. So, until April 7, 2022 at 03:45 MSK, the regime of temporary restriction of flights to the Russian airports of Anapa, Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh, Gelendzhik, Krasnodar, Kursk, Lipetsk, Rostov-on-Don, Simferopol and Elista has been extended. This was reported by the Federal Air Transport Agency.
“Oh I know, very few, if any, in Zone A will see that as anything but totally over the top hyperbole.”
I disagree, in Zone A, there are more people for whom the “mental block” is quickly fading and no longer see as “indispensable.” The pandemic has facilitated this much. I watched “Ukraine on Fire” last night and was appalled, little did I know! I’m passing it along to others.
Thank God for you, Gonzalo Lira, Pepe Escobar, Michael Hudson and all the others.
Keep up the good work!
I am an American who believes Putin’s decision to enter Ukraine was justified. I have tended to believe Russian media over that of other countries, including the recent claim by UK intelligence that Russian soldiers are demoralized, refusing orders, and destroying their own equipment. But I notice that:
1) Ukrainian forces in the Donbass are apparently still not encircled.
2) You no longer hear from the MoD about troops in either of the Donbass republics advancing by X kilometers/day.
3) A high percentage of the things you Do hear about involve missiles or air strikes of some sort, very little about ground forces advancing or anything accomplished by artillery.
Anything encouraging you could add would be appreciated, along with, if possible, some positive, 4-D chess explanation for why Putin apparently flinched/wimped out in his attempt to force Europe to pay for gas in rubles.
1. Pressure relief valve…ever corner a rat?
2. Nowhere to go….they are there already.
3. Advancing ground force…..modern armies are mechanized, they enter after arty saturation. Still to messy for civies. Russia has more humane doctrine. They are using precision air support as much a possible…but their arty is not idle…. target depending.
The gas deal… under sanctions Russia still gets paid. In Euros, not US dollars, I don’t follow the mechanics close enough, but is not the goal to move away from using dollars for international trade….besides, the shop owner sets trade mechanism, it’s his shop, one can always shop elsewhere for ones staples.
Heard at a Texas Barn Dance ..”ya gotta dance with the one that brung ya”
Cheers M
Thanks. Never really understood this before. If you buy gas w euros, the seller ends up w euros. If you do as Putin mandates, open a bank account in Russia, deposit euros, use ‘em to buy rubles, then the selling country ends up w both the rubles used to pay for the gas the euros are still floating around somewhere in Russia. Basically, Russia gets 2x the price if the trade is done in its currency. Pretty neat. Easy to imagine this having a really dramatic effect over time, particularly if it gets expanded to other commodities. Maybe Russia will end up hoping there were more unfriendly countries, as they help it Sooo much.
How is Russia going to deal with civil population.
In many parts of Ukraine they just hate Russians.
Many are radicalized against the Russian Federation.
What is a military political way to deal with such problems in general?
I have 12 Russian Telegram channels and several other Russian SM channels I read. This is the common type of post found on all of them. No matter what we in the outside may think,this seems to be the dominate type of thinking inside Russia:
I know this and I say it all the time – Russia cannot lose the war in Ukraine to the West. But today I suddenly thought that after all, Russia can lose this war. But this can happen only in case of betrayal of the top leadership of the country. That means Putin. Is it possible? No. But Russians are very afraid of betrayal. Because this happened more than once in the history of Russia. Remember at least the nearest such event – the collapse of the USSR. And then a text came from a reader from Russia: “We are an amazing people.
We are not afraid of anything – neither a nuclear war, nor a crisis due to sanctions. In the 20th century alone, we survived three revolutions, two world wars and the destruction of the country, what do you want to scare us with?
We are not afraid of anything at all, neither death nor hell. It is impossible to break the Russians.
However, as soon as Medinsky spent three minutes talking about Ukraine’s Wishlist, a hysteria began that the world had never seen before. Russians are afraid of betrayal, and only him.
All this already happened when the tsars and general secretaries merged completely and completely the conquests of the Russian army, obtained by the sweat and blood of soldiers. And few people remember this, but somewhere on a subconscious level everyone is afraid. Perhaps this fear is embedded in the genetic memory.
For a Russian person, betrayal is worse than death.
Don’t be afraid, it won’t. Because it was already, and everyone knows how it ended. Shame and the next war.”

Well spoken Andrei!
“Russian politicians are not as stupid as yours.”
Actually they are, IF they evaluate the enemy (the west) based on russian memtality.
The best way to analyze the enemy is understand THEIR way of thinking.
So although the russians are superb at chessplaying, it is useless when the west is just ditching the chessboard and playing by completly different rules.
And that is the problem with most russian leaders for hundreds of years. They are more rational and logic.
But they forget to zoom out and then zoom into the enemies way of thinking.
To understand psychopaths next moves, you will need to be able to zoom into their mindset to analyze things from their way of thinking.
When you have that skill, then you can realiaticly analyze anx understand their jext moves.
So glad something like this has finally been posted. Hopefully will lessen some frustrations with comment section.
Kind regards
America has gotten used to being the only bully on the block, and its politicians have never been taught the art or value of diplomacy or negotiation. It may take several generations to change that mindset, but, alas, we don’t have that much time. Biden has always been a bully, a corrupt arm-twister, and that hasn’t changed even given his diminished mental capacity. The neocons in his administration are the same, used to simply mouthing a threat and getting what they want. Now, China and India are showing these bullies that they are no longer in control. In contrast to the courage of Asian leaders in standing up to the US bully, the obsequious behavior of the Europeans should make your skin crawl.
