To be honest I get the feeling that the Greens are actively charged with destroying a future Russo-German alliance. Even though there is a strong undercurrent in both peoples striving for this – albeit dramatically weakening on the part of the increasingly disillusioned and disheartened Russians – it is not yet completely dead. Some on both sides of the artificial divide still hold the line. It will be very difficult though, very unhappy and difficult.
There is currently not much the average German can do to stop the Greens or Scholz for that matter. Scholz is a deeply compromised individual. They must have had something on him prior to the CumEx scandal. I suspect it is compromising photographs of him and underage children, probably boys. Something to that nature. After the intensity of German resistance to the biosecurity scam actually even spearheading the global resistance movement (so much for the dull and passive Germans, it is not that we don’t do what we can), the empire would not stand chances with leadership. All we got are WEF stooges and a possible pedophile. And leadership is right: the people who resisted biosecurity are most likely to resist war with Russia or anything less then friendship with the few exceptions of those conspiracy minded people who think they are all in this together to trick the people into the Great Reset. These people don’t trust anyone.
All we can do at this point is really trust that the Russians will stay our friends and not mistake us for these people and their endless terrible continent destroying schemes of pointless wars. At present all we can substantially do is predict Russian success in Ukraine loudly and clearly, call for a negotiated settlement, mock the ineffectiveness of the sanctions and let reality put pressure on these bureaucrats. They are already seriously challenged with what is coming out about the ineffectiveness of lockdowns and the v. side effects so that “team reality” is gaining force naturally. This is the only thing I can see that will allow for competent policies and leadership to penetrate the ideological firewall.
Disfunctional relationships between countries only serve to feed rationalization of a kinetic war. Where all of European and, to a lesser degree, all people in the West, are being used to force unipolarity on world resources by Western billionaires. Their desperation can’t be hidden any longer and Ukraine/Russia are the first to be sacrificed. Remember, these long held hostilités do not end with war, they are pasted down to affect offspring who have no one to avenge, b/c the perpetrators are likely dead. All this so a few Western billionaires get to determine how best to exploit global markets to create and join this Western Oligarchy. Putin and Xi might have joined, why didn’t they? And would u wish to join these people? These are insane people who don’t deserve to interact with others no less have hidden influence to set policy. We all must know that G(oke)-7 is a puppet show. The real power too afraid to even try to be honest–which can’t be accomplished anyway.
The basic social power lies in the ordinary, all of the people, together, not in the constitution. The people in their majority are the law: The people can act collectively in full legality, if they get up and move and take over their country and change immediately the way it is run!
The political polls are out there, constantly monitored political analysts continually! Literally every day we know the up-to date ratings of all the politicians up for our assessment and voting choice, where they stand in the estimation of the voters. The only fact that keeps any current prime minister/president of W-Europe nations, The USA, Canada- Biden, Trudeau etc., is that elections are not scheduled. If they were all such incumbents would likely be voted out!
But why must the people wait 4-5 more years to get rid of leaders who must be removed now…who never should have been voted in through a system that is now so corrupt that it allows no choice really between the available political parties? They are all the same across the entire spectrum of Western countries and nations – vote one or the other of such corrupt candidates. They are all corrupt, bought out and/or socially compromised by the money powers
Why must the people settle for such absolute corruption, which ensures only one awful outcome for each and every nation hobbled by their constitution that they actual did not all collectively write, but which they must obey even if that constitution – in fact all of them – are now in clear opposition to the best interest of the nations after centuries in some cases?
These constitutions are no longer legal because of their functioning in opposition and compromise of the interest of the people of the nations they govern! All these constitutions function against the ordinary peoples of these nations absolutely and comprehensively only in the interest of the money power of the nations West.
The people are free to act in their own collective interest, the interest of the majority, are quite legally free to go out and arrest all the billionaires and all the governments and and criminal leaders. All the evidence is easily available they can all be charged with their criminal activities summarily tried, jailed and executed where necessary… and start afresh by doing immediately what needs to be done to solve the problems of their nations.
In a nutshell, the central banks and their owners want to privatize Russian state assets, they can then monopolize and manipulate to their perpetual advantage via tax exempt trusts.
The first attempt failed, when Putin jailed Khordokovsky, on trumped up charges of tax evasion, because he proposed selling Yukos to Exxon. That was a masterstroke by Putin.
Now they are attempting a takeover using NATO and the US military.
A negotiated settlement is not in the Russians interest though. They may feel sympathy towards the European spineless population who get upset but don’t actually get off their backsides and do a lot. But as Gonzalo says – that’ll be down to the freezing migrants soon. Russia’s first priority is to itself, as it rightly should be, and if some Europeans who elected corrupt parliamentarians freeze, then that’s just hard luck – for now. Russia can win this with the support of those who survive this and fully understand that their own corrupt govts are to blame for their plight. The rest are already lost. For the USA to stop being a threat, that would necessitate Russia to effectively govern Europe and at least contain the UK. That can be done by economic means, and maybe a few disruptions to refineries that think they can refine oil from elsewhere. This doesn’t need to get anywhere near full blitzkreig for that to happen.
Here in the U.S., we Americans have been doing our part by trying to sift out neoliberal globalist flunkies from the Republican party in the primary elections. (The fact that the globalist wing of the Republican party is pro-Ukraine and the MAGA wing is neutral or pro-Russia makes things much, much easier.) The Democrats are making a pig’s breakfast out of everything and, thank goodness, are expected to get massacred in the midterm elections.
1 First of all, overall public opinion in Germany is already in favour of a negotiated settlement and no further arms deliveries to the Ukraine. This was a minority call from the beginning. 59% are strongly against it, 20% for it and 21% undecided. Hence the enormous resistance in getting heavy weaponry out of Germany and the foot dragging the Ukrainian ambassador is accusing us of. What the Greens are doing has no democratic mandate. They force a minority opinion on the entire country.
2 Contrary to popular opinion on this blog, countries like Germany (or Japan for that matter) do not need to be denazified, which is nothing but code for violent suppression of sovereignty and national dignity in perpetuity in order to exploit a nation’s economic engine. Germans are among the least violent people there are and give more to social and charitable causes than any other nation on the face of the earth. You can either deride us for being passive and emasculated or call us a menace that needs to be denazified, pick one and only one.
Denazification is precisely the problem because it is used as a pretext for counterinsurgency (insurgency against whom?). You can easily detect how close an issue ist to the Empire’s heart by who and what it feels the need to hysterically hitlerize: Covid dissenters, anti-vaxxers, actual Labour parties, bids for rapprochement with Russia, NATO sceptics, anti-war activists and so on. Germany needs to stop Denazification wholesale and start nation building instead. Sober, rational and based in our legitimate economic, security and geopolitical self-interest.
In said self-interest was and is good standing and cooperation with all of Western, Southern and Eastern Europe + a stable and prosperous Middle East as our direct neighbour. The EU exists, because that wish was a deep seated undercurrent in the European peoples as Nietzsche rightfully noted, even though another agenda has coopted the idea. In general however: what we want is a pan-European federation / alliance of nation states by necessity including Russia under one undivided security system and ideally, if I personally had my way, a trading system under a pure accounting unit where one nation cannot slip into debt servitude to another because it can only take from the shared basket of goods to the degree of the goods it has entered. This was the original German proposal, celebrated by Keynes and then betrayed by the Dollar system that would not give up the option of putting other nations into debt slavery. In such a federated European continent all nations get to thrive unmolested and evenly and problems like the Germans basically having to pay for everyone and then being hated for it can be avoided. The EU needs to be cut back to such a well-rounded federation.
Russia has good people who want the same thing (or at least did so in the past), Putin having mentioned a pan-European security system and integration himself and then there is Glaziev, but she also has a very disillusioned and hardened security sector. They might have already switched to a hegemonic hostile mindset. At this point all we can do is to keep our eyes on the price and communicate as much as possible.
3 As for the call for a negotiated settlement: all wars are settled in negotiations eventually. All of them. Most people live under a very tight and extremely potent infowar umbrella, the old seapower has undisputed dominance and supremacy in PR, really noone is as good as them. Currently what people can see and grasp are the following things: “NATO should not have expanded eastward and we should have done more to avoid this war. Russia is the aggressor and must be stopped. We must somehow help the Ukrainians, the victims, but not send heavy weapons. –> negotiated settlement.” This is a position that one can take in our current media environment, so much has been carved out as uncensorable. It has gained majority favour, even though this majority is being constantly badgered by a few WEF related media stooges (literally graduates of these WEF programs) and the settlement proponents facing merciless smear campaigns by this same entrenched media network.
4 As for the migrants: I do see the problem. I also see the problem of the propaganda umbrella in general. Nothing but reality itself will break the spell. If we stand a chance, I don’t know, but it seems to me that this is what it is going to take.
Yes. The conservative right wing AfD and the newly forming decolonized Left under Sahra Wagenknecht. Covid dissenters too in the overwhelming majority and many of the non voters. — Keep in mind that the establishment is beginning to notice that is losing a substantial portion of the public. 30% is their guesstimate according to MP Gregor Gysi and as he says: this is too much. V. mandates have been defeated despite a truly nasty propaganda campaign and currently pressure is mounting on the health minister Lauterbach.
So what are these people doing? Tightening media censorship and criminalizing calling politicians incompetent. It is about all they are capable of. Again. The spell of conditioning will only be broken by reality and nothing else.
It seems that the motivation Brother Lira says is the cause of “ruling elite” actions/policies is “ego”. I think he says this. If so, I agree, but they are also motivated by fear. Even that fine Lady of Virtue the Hillary cried out about “nooses” in 2016…and Fine Gentleman Bush the Elder spoke of “lamp posts…if the people knew…” And Great Statesman the IO’Bama spoke of “pitchforks”. I say “also” but what is fear but a form attached to ego?
Indeed, does History offer up any examples of what happens to losers?
Would it even be possible for these people to run away? It’s like MacBeth…or those fine heroes that got away to Patagonia, or Texas?
The ten dollar question is this. When it gets cold who will Jane and Joe six-pack in Europe blame? If overwhelming logic prevails they will blame troublemakers in the US and demand they be kicked out. This might be what the Blinken administration is trying to do because it is not possible to know where the true allegiance of that group lies.
If the US gets kicked out of Europe that will be the final nail in the coffin of petro-dollar and reserve currency.
I fail to see why the EU would let two NON EU countries bully them. UK and US. EU should tell them to get the hell out of their business and stop ruining their countries. I don’t know why they don’t just DO that.
Magnific panoramic view with essential & deep takes.
I have heard here in European mainstreets that Russia is going to allow refugees from colapsed Europe just after summertime… ;-)
Cheers
Ha!
Well if that offer materializes and is extended to the North Americans, Alaska could see an influx of peeps bartering and elbowing their way onto fishing vessels to cross the Bering Strait.
Meanwhile we ‘sit’ and twiddle our thumbs wondering if there will be a North America after 2022.
Cheers back
Aye…. just remind you of what happened to Mussolini and his girlfriend, one day sipping cocktails, drinking the best of wines, eating olives, all the best of foods…….. the following day, both naked, stabbed multiple times,hung upside down, his genitals removed, and her breasts cut off! I had an uncle who was one of the first to see them both.
Or how about Ceaușescu….. shot with his wife! Ten minute talk to a prosecution offered lawyer, ooh, and prior to the trial, hand picked paratroopers to be used as a firing squad… nothing like…. march the guilty bastard in…ash English and American democracy at work. Nothing like being judge jury and executioner. But even I would readily accept the heads of those perpetrating this WW3 scenario, better there English American French and German heads than the nations.
And wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could start the justice and retribution for all pogroms in the America leadership, rather than America starting pogroms as history teaches us, all over the leadership of world nations. A wonderful change!
All w/o good reason. Russia saw 1 million troops and cavalry from wide open plains towards Moscow and 60 million more the following century. These people don’t respect history or humanity
I don’t suppose Gonzalo will see this. Pity… Gonzalo, all you say is true, as usual. However this one misses the point.
It isn’t ‘fear of losing hegemon’ that so motivates the Western Elites to seek WWIII at present. It’s ‘fear of losing heads on shoulders.’ Their shoulders. Due to a factor that has nothing to do with carrier battle groups or economic capacity or even ideology. One that I think you, living with the very distracting SMO around you, may not have perceived.
It’s this. We’re now 9 months into the vax programs, and suddenly live birth rates are plummeting, all cause mortality figures are exploding, still-birth numbers are exploding, insurance death pay outs are exploding. Some of us knew this was coming, but until now, given the well-controlled MSM, the rising death rates from the Elite’s psychopathic game of global depopulation have been possible to hide from the masses.
But birth rate collapse… this can’t be covered up. The Elites know they have a very limited time frame in which to distract the world’s people from what the Elites have done to them. The Elites need a smokescreen as serious as WWIII urgently. Some _other_ cause of megadeath. Or they are going to be hunted down by enraged mobs, and torn apart in the streets. Soon.
It is the underlying foundation of everything that is happening in the world atm. There are many factions and objectives, but the faction at the apex want one thing. A world with under 500 million people, slaved to the Elites. They have been running their own ‘special biowar operation’ to achieve that. And it has gone badly wrong.
There was supposed to be 100% ‘vaccination’, with very few side effects for a number of years, then a sudden wave of death by multiple mysterious causes. Too many early deaths. Now they risk being hunted down, (possibly tried) and definitely executed for genocide. WWIII is their only possible path to saving their own lives. This is why they appear to be insanely determined to start this Russia vs NATO war. It’s not insane, it’s self preservation on their part.
The insanity was the plan for genocide, that the Elites have worked on for over two decades. And yeah, the Ukraine biolabs were definitely involved. Too many details to relate here. It remains to be seen if the Russians are aware of the full depths of this, and whether they will ever make their findings public.
Yes, it was a fraud from the day the WHO changed the definition of pandemic from one based on an exceptional number of deaths to one based on cases using a fraudulent PCR test to justify mass vaccine programs. However, it shouldn’t comes as surprise to motives of the real controllers of the Western governments because their organisations such as the Club of Rome published studies decades ago such as the Limits to Growth as to their malevolent intentions. The conflict in the Ukraine, caused by them, is one more stage in their long term strategy.
Or possibly even ‘shitzkrieg’. Seriously though, the points you make are compelling. We are at the beginning of the end times, courtesy of Big Pharma and its honchos in Big Government. The evidence is all around for those who dare to look.
A mon avis ce que vous dites est proche de la réalité, ces satanique n’ont pas pu et ne pourront réussir leur plan biologique mais ils vont essayer le Nucléaire pour le vœu de satan d’exterminer la création de DIEU de la Terre.
Ces sataniques savent bien qu’ils seront eux aussi éliminés dans le Nucléaire a moins qu’ils ont déjà acceptes d’êtres des martyrs des protocoles de sion « mourront tous en gohim au service de satan conf « Le peuple, et même leurs gouvernements seront comme des enfants, mineurs. » Protocoles de Sion 15
Enfin de compte DIEU est présent il va nous aider dans ces moments de faiblesse face a ces sataniques, il suffit de le reconnaître et lui demander de l’aide.
Le plus rigolo dans ces histoires c’est ce qu’il va dire satan a ses adorateurs qui nous emmerdent le jour “J”:
Ibrahim v22 Coran
“Et quand tout sera accompli, le Diable dira: « Certes, Allah vous avait fait une promesse de vérité; tandis que moi, je vous ai fait une promesse que je n’ai pas tenue. Je n’avais aucune autorité sur vous si ce n’est que je vous ai appelés, et que vous m’avez répondu. Ne me faites donc pas de reproches; mais faites-en à vous-mêmes. Je ne vous suis d’aucun secours et vous ne m’êtes d’aucun secours. Je vous renie de m’avoir jadis associé [à Allah]. » Certes, un châtiment douloureux attend les injustes [les associateurs]”.

====================================
In my opinion what you say is close to reality, these satanics have not been able and will not be able to succeed in their biological plan but they will try the Nuclear for the wish of satan to exterminate the creation of GOD from the Earth.
These satanics know that they too will be eliminated in the Nuclear unless they have already agreed to be martyrs of the Protocols of Zion “will all die as gohim in the service of satan conf” The people, and even their governments will be like children, minors. Protocols of Zion 15
Finally, GOD is present and will help us in these moments of weakness in the face of these satanic people, it is enough to recognize Him and ask Him for help.
The funniest thing about these stories is what Satan will say to his worshippers on “D” day:
Ibrahim v22 Koran
“And when all is accomplished, the Devil will say:” Certainly, DIEU had made you a promise to truth; while I made you a promise that I did not keep. I had no authority over you except that I called you, and you answered me. So do not reproach me; but do it to yourselves. I am not helping you and you are not helping me. I deny that you once associated me [with DIEU]. “Of course, a painful punishment awaits the unjust [the associators]”.
Agree. I think the inflation, food shortage, especially wheat and feed grains and loss of income will contribute to malnutrition and their alibi. This will work as cover for the mRNA deaths. The deaths are due to malnutrition, because of what Putin did to Ukraine and the economy of the entire world. Evil never runs out of alibis.
Enjoy Mr. Lira’s commentaries; they are both provocative and informative. But “There is no doubt about the outcome?” Yeah, well when Russian military marches on Dnepropetrovsk and Odessa I will believe it. Unfortunately I think Scott Ritter was right about the possibility of a defense in depth.
In some way it looks like Russia will need to take it all.
I saw an idea map on a Russian site on how Russia would divide and re-map Poland, East-Europe and Germany, and eat Baltic back after their wish.
But the clowns continue to raise the stakes. UK, Sweden, Finland and all Latin-Europe will continue to send men, money and weapons to Ukraine to break the neck, so some day Russia will have to deal with them too.
He’s right, once you give away you’re manufacturing your war capacity no longer exist which the U.S. did at the bequest of the companies and corporations, so they could increase their profits. During WW2, every plant and factory in the United States were producing products for the war effort. Now the only place we could get war products from Asia where our production went would be Japan and S. Korea, for the EU would be in the middle of that war and Russian missiles would soon destroy any means of producing war products.
History shows that Russian suck at war At The Beginning: Because of peacetime corruption, they always have the wrong leaders at the beginning They take their lumps, learn hard lessons, and come back much stronger. And they find their warrior general.
Happened in WWI The armies of the Grand Duke at Tannenberg and Masurian Lakes. Two years later, in 1916, under General Brusilov, they launch the Brusilov Offensive, which could have been a turning point for the Allies had the Russian state not collapsed in revolution. All military historians rate the Brusilov Offensive as one of the best planned, best executed military operations of WWI. Only a true act of God, namely the Rasputitsia, saved Russia from collapse
And, of course, in WWII, Stalin’s deranged purges of the military caused USSR to lose 3 million men in only 4 months between June 22, 1941 and mid October,1941.
The next year, they find their warrior general in Zhukov and, after sensing Hitler monomania about capturing “The City of Stalin”, turn Stalingrad into bait to entrap 250K German of the 6th Army. Brilliant. Even more brilliant was the second phase of that counterattack which almost trapped the 1st, 17th and 4th Panzer Army and could have ended the war in 6 months. And then they spring Operation Bagration, the most brilliant offensive of WWII.
And so it appears in this war. My sense is that Russia was buffaloed by some of Ukraines initial defensive tacts, particularly the mass use of drones. But then again, I may have been taken in by Ukroganda. I do know that once again, Russia has figured it out .. and heaven help any army that would try to root Russia out of the Donbass.
Please get your historical facts correct – the 2nd World War was USSR not Russia. Amended. Stop reading Ukrainian false propaganda too. Mod.
No, the prewar purges did not “cause” USSR to lose the first six months of Operation Barbarossa. Nor was it saved by a miracle.
USSR knew it was coming but was unable to completely mobilize and prepare. Could the purged commanders have done a better job than their replacements? We’ll never know.
What we do know is Stalin executed hundreds of flag rank officers in the fall of 1941 for poor performance. The remaining commanders got the message, and that’s when Russia’s fortunes changed.
I wonder after the Zelensky’s regime has fallen, isn’t it possible that whoever takes over power in the rump left-over could actually ally with Russia and benefit from the emerging Russian’s robust economy? If that happens then Ukraine, though reduced in size, would not have to remain poor.
I’m thinking after the fall of the current Nazi regime in Ukraine many of the hothead Nazis in the country would disappear into the Baltic and Nordic nations where their platform is expanding at a faster rate now. And the Ukrainian oligarchs would move their remaining loots and families to Israel or Canada.
So it’s possible that those who remain in the country would be the true Ukrainian patriots who know who their enemies are. And that Russia is not the enemy..
Kolomoisky’s already ensconced in the US, having been given ‘tax breaks’ to buy dead rust belt manufacturing ‘assets’ e.g. steel, one of his ‘favourites’. And, that was done to ensure Kolo would launder the $5B+ he stole from the Ukie bank(s) through Amerika. An ‘arrangement’ no doubt facilitated as part of the biolab ‘investments by the Yanks and Europe in Ukraine.
More lately, Kolo has found high end Swiss property to his investment liking, as have a number of Ukr politicians. Average purchase price of Ukr pollies’ Swiss ‘property investments’ is 11m Euros.
Zelensky’s got >$600m stashed o/s – even admitted by Forbes mag. Plus, earlier, Kolo had a property ‘developed’ for Zelensky in Florida, USA. Zelensky’s also got a ‘citizenship arrangement’ with that slob, Johnson’s UK – which suggests the banks in the City of London Corp are one preferred laundromat – same as it ever was. France has also received some Ukr funds for properties from the Kolo/Zelensky duet.
The last round of the ICIJ investigations of Monsec Fonseca’s ‘relationships’ in Panama (i.e. ‘Pandora Papers’) showed Ukr political figures topping the table for numbers using MF’s services to stash loot, and topping the table by a looooong way.
There are 2 main reasons Ukr is the poorest country in Europe, and has not had a jot of economic growth in the 30 odd years since the USSR ended; 1) thieves and murderers, and 2) relationships with external thieves and murderers.
I believe that we have been in WW3 since September of 2001 and that these are its closing and defining moments.It is not necessary that WW3 would follow the same framework as the previous two WW’s (which also had their own unique paradigms and did not follow set patterns, eg trench warfare as opposed to blitzkrieg etc).
The current WW has been all about asymmetric warfare at all levels(proxy armies,cyberwarfare,economic sanctions,bio war fare, mini nukes, depleted uranium weapons which have made places like Iraq and Afghanistan nuclear wastelands etc) and the actions of the past few years is coming to a close, but we still have a few more years to go and perhaps by 2028 things would come to a definitive conclusion.
And why not believe in the Russian plan? It is not possible to continue with the nonsense of seven decades, until now the aggressors and thugs are the Westerners as were the Germans and not Stalin’s Russians and they continue with the chant that they are the good ones, of course when the opinions are of Westerners.
Many (myself included) believe carrier groups and warships in general have been rendered obsolete in the age of relatively cheap, fast, stealthy and smart anti-ship missiles. That in any real war all the navies will be on the sea floor within an hour of hostilities commencing. This just hasn’t been demonstrated in practice yet, so ‘superpowers’ like the USA can continue with their fantasies.
The problem is, the ships will take all their nuclear weapons and reactor cores to the bottom with them. This is an extinction level disaster. Whether it takes a few decades, or a thousand years for the radioisotopes to spread through the oceans and contaminate the land, is irrelevant. The same goes for all the land nuclear reactors and nuclear waste repositories, all of which will eventually lose containment in a post-war scenario. A real war now means the end of life on Earth. Probably for many millions of years. High background radiation level is not survivable by any higher forms of life. And no there’s no ‘evolving’ to cope with it.
This is just another example of the genocidal Elites being stupid, scientifically ignorant destructive oafs. Trying to start WWIII in order to save themselves from mobs enraged by awareness of the vax damage. Or for ego, profits, or Satan’s bidding, whatever you believe their motives may be. But WWIII will mean the end of all life on Earth. Not just a few decades or hundreds of years of ‘industrial setback.’
The number of nuclear reactors aboard ships is rather small, and in any case if they sank to the bottom of an ocean, they would not cause much harm, since any plutonium or uranium would decay by emitting neutrons that would be contained and diluted to harmless levels.
However, nuclear weapons exploded to the atmosphere would cause levels of plutonium and uranium to rise to higher levels spread worldwide, which would likely increase the risk of cancers and birth defects, as did the earlier nuclear bomb tests of the US and Russia.
The use of depleted Uranium in weaponry, particularly in Iraq has caused a significant increase in birth defects especially Fallujah. This is definitely a war crime.
I hate to write one of these “well, ackshually” notes, but feel compelled.
All those reactor cores on the bottom of the ocean is far far better than burning on the surface, and infinitely better than burning them in a microsecond as weapons.
We have evolved with a certain level of natural radioactivity. The potassium in seawater is a source of powerful gamma rays. Sufficiently powerful to create positrons. Yup, antimatter is flying around in seawater. What saves us is that there is not a lot of it, only a few thousand Becquerels per cubic meter of water.
… It turned out that all the radwaste Japan dumped (and continues to dump) in the Pacific since 2011 has been diluted to where it is hard to find without specialized scientific instruments. Granted, it is still a local problem in Japan, all that hot-as-hades nuclear waste in one place. Certain species of sea life have disappeared from near the site along the Japanese coast.
But if a core, or dozens of cores, were slowly rusting away at the bottom, they would rejoin the thorium and uranium and related elements in the natural world. Yes it causes mutations in living things, but it would not be an extinction level event.
Uranium and Plutonium are soluble in seawater, There are ocean currents that bring water from deep zones up to the surface eg along coastlines. Slowly, but so what? Half-lives of some isotopes in reactors and weapon cores are in the hundreds of millions of years. Containment structures are subject to corrosion in seawater, and ships sunk by hostile action will be heavily damaged. Containments may be completely breached.
Just because the Komsomolets hasn’t significantly contaminated anything yet, doesn’t prove it won’t do so in the next few hundred or thousand years. To say ‘there is no such risk’ is the stuff of supreme ignorance, or paid shills.
Nuclear contamination effects are _always_ downplayed by nuclear proponents. Nobody in their family suffered radiation-induced cancer or birth defects presumably, and they have no sympathetic imagination.
We’ve had two fairly bad well known incidents – Chernobyl and Fukushima. Both have had severe, world-reaching effects and both are effectively still ongoing with potentially worsening effects in the long term. (And a few less well known incidents.) But let’s say just two, and also ignore use of DU munitions in two war theatres so far.
Say there are 100 more such incidents at sea and on land during WWIII. Pick any spot on Earth and tell me about how it won’t be contaminated. How about after another 500 years?
Also explain to me how even completely undamaged reactors and waste containment sites are going to be securely maintained for hundreds of years without accident, after a general technological collapse likely after a nuclear war.
There’s a massive blind spot that virtually everyone today suffers in this matter. Through a combination of technical ignorance, ‘never happened before’ effect, and normalcy bias. Future generations after a nuclear war are going to be cursing you guys, for as long as the human species survives. Which is unlikley to be for many generations.
Despite the hype, Western CIWS (Phalanx, Goalkeeper) systems are not going to be very effective against even “later” ASM technology. ALL current Russian ASMs have a high-acceleration terminal phase, which combined with their low RCS makes detection and tracking difficult, especially when the target has terminal agility (as do all current Russian and I believe Chinese ASMs).
Development of e.g. Kinzahl have really made conventional “gun-based” CIWS obsolete – too fast and too small an RCS to allow acquire / lock / compute firing solution in the time available between effective detection and impact. Whilst swarm attack would certainly overwhelm any CIWS, a single hypersonic (terminal phase) ASM currently provides such a high probability of kill that swarms would be a waste of munitions.
I mentioned this on Alexei M’s channel a while back, and further reading seems to support this assertion. In reality surface assets are sitting ducks, and to be frank I’m not so sure that submarines are that much safer – Russia’s come a long way since their supercavitating Shkval.
They say nato is building to 300 thousand…that’s a lot of soldiers to feed in Europe next Fall and Winter, under the circumstances…and it may be that Rus isn’t going to wait and watch the build-up…instead I expect Rus will change the ground assumptions of nato…and some of that may well be “military-technical”…possibly in relation to Lithuania…noting Rus build up in Belarus and nifty rocket Iskander. Note Rus Baltic fleet…is possible to kettle Baltic Satrapies…question for the heavens, and Stalin’s ghost. I not story that Lithuanian Army unit was encountered in 404 by Rus Army. Some may be alive…
300 tho, those boys can’t be left with tasks for long…
Anyway…pretty soon sitzkreig phase undergoes metamorphosis. Like flask of nitro.
I saw that 300 too. Not a coincidence the number chosen.
Each cohort has its mythology. I observed the AZE hearken a lot to Sparta and the idealized sacrifice of the few against overwhelming odds. Steven Pressfield was a favorite of West Point and the Joint Chiefs for a while and wrote the historical fiction “The Hot Gates,” – myth making on epic scale and the manufacturing of the desired war ethos. Inspiring book too, more lasting effects than amphetamines! Leonidas & Xerxes
It does parallel the way all Earth was submitted to them in their heyday, the few West colonizing the Rest. What Hitler so admired about the British was how a tiny Island people controlled 25%+ of mankind and many others indirectly. It is impossible to let go once one tastes this elixir. The killing of Russian envoys, breaking of sacred treaties, waging war against the cosmos and Most High himself, committing and condemning one’s entire society to the maelstrom of the lust for eternal Power.. Events progress to their logic. This is Madness!
Gonzalo did another one the Russian bond default. The Russians would do everyone a favour if they opened a gateway to buy bonds for Crypto. Crypto is currently tanking, but it has its core function in cross border payment that is uncensorable. With the option to “back” Crypto in Russian sovereign dept there might be a way to stabilize the Crypto market and make it a viable option for payment and it would be a win win for Russia and for the Crypto crowd. — Might be that there is a flaw in this idea. If there are any Crypto people here, I would be interested in feedback.
Diana, I can’t understand how bitcoin hasn’t tanked already, seeing as it’s essentially a ponzi scheme.
Now, dogecoin…. Dogecoin is another matter!
But seriously, I believe Putin understands the underpinning realities of crypto better than most, and that there’s a good reason why people who’ve bought into it are now losing their shirts.
Precious metals are the safer bet. They’re still relatively cheap… compared to next year anyway.
I understand the point about precious metals and anything tangible in general and you are right: this is among the best investments at present. Metals in general are.
However: it is pretty hard to use them for trade. For that you need some form of accounting unit or currency, in the modern age: digital, in order to make it work. A Crypto currency “backed” by Russian sovereign debt would not be the same dubitable investment, but a real currency, only with specific properties: anonymity and uncensorability. Anyway, it is just the sketch of an idea and probably not realistic. I just thought, Crypto could become viable if it is backed by something substantial and can be used in real trade as a parallel currency system.
Cryptos are still structured as a Pyramid, with a bottom up collapse. Best physical metal investment, with proper training, would come in the magnum variety, although they make nifty automatic slug delivery systems for the ladies. Just sayin’ cause that shiny stuff, it really does put a target on your back.
Diana
I have said it multiple times, If you can’t hold it in your hand, you don’t own it! the only way Crypto becomes semi-viable is if it is backed by something physical ie commodities, but in order to do that on a global basis, crypto needs to be pegged to a commodity that has a global finite supply. Gold is the only commodity that makes sense and possibly silver.
Well, then it is not crypto. Decent Crypto is backed by PoW (Proof of Work). It is inherent and part of its creation.
Governments don’t like it at all .. because it deprives them of all ‘money creator’ power. In one fell swoop the power of creation of money goes to the people. It frustrates me, as decent crypto can solve all of these problems quickly. And the moment governments try to own it, as they feel they have to, it loses its value of being peer to peer electronic cash. And that is all that decent crypto is .. peer to peer electronic cash.
Although bitcoin isn’t fully dependent on the internet, internet and power blackouts will of course cause problems. Probably at the exact time you’re needing access the most. I know enough about crypto to believe the government will come hard after it too… once they figure out a way.
Of course they can just as well come after any metals you have.
The advantage of metals I think lies in their convertability/liquidity. Imagine we’re reduced to bartering for life’s necessities in the near future. Who knows? Hey, tools could become the next currency.
If you hedge your crypto with metals be aware there is a lot of fake gold coin, and bars, circulating out there. It’s gotten risky. Silver, not so much… yet.
Just another sample: the G7 meeting… a Monty Python parody wouldn’t seem more crazy… Oh my son, may you grow up stupid and ignorant, and, foolish and arrogant culminate as Prime Minister.
In Spanish we have this expression: “De victoria en victoria hasta la derrota final”, translation: from victory to victory until the final defeat. That’s how the whole thing seems to be nowadays in the West.
As somebody that comes from the Spanish speaking world (Argentina) I keep asking myself…..”what the heck is going on with Spain that is playing in the same side of the ones that are occupying GIbraltar or put a gun in Spains head in 1898 ?”
Do we have to send a bunch of good Psychologists ….we have many ;)… to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Madrid to help them understand what is going on here?
Oh man! The entire government structure and political system would need a legion of psychologists. In short, they are minions of the empire. The same as the French, the Italians or the Germans. As imperialists that they were, if they are not now in command themselves, they prefer to be subjugated and play the same dirty game.
Elements of the Nazi extreme right who fled after World War II had a good refuge in Spain, and today, the most flowery of the Latin American extreme right also has connections with Madrid, as well as with Miami.
Regarding Latin America, in general, in Spain they look at it with paternalism, if not with contempt. How many misdeeds do Spanish multinationals do in Latin America? Countless.
All in all, a sad story of shame… But all this is beside the point here.
Si, claro que me suena. Pero se equivoca al tomarlo como algo personal.
Me gustaria ver a Espania mas cercana a Latinoamerica y pegandole un cachetazo a los Anglosajones como hizo ayer Argentina cuando pidio el ingreso a los BRICS.
Entre Australia y Europa, Inglaterra elige Australia. Entre Latinoamerica y Europa, tengo la impresion (me puedo estar equivocando) que Espania elige Europa.
Espania tiene un asset que no tiene ningun otro pais del planeta (unica excepcion quizas Inglaterra) y es tener 500 millones de personas que hablan un mismo idioma y en mayor o menor medida, una cultural similar. Pero esta elegiendo estar en el lado equivocado de la historia.Lamentablemente y MUY A MI PESAR. Espero estar errado.
Por Dios hombre,no me lo tomo como algo personal,solo me entristece ver como mi país se ha ido por el sumidero de la historia.Supongo que es el Karma.Efectivamente,mi esperanza reside en una unión con Latinoamérica,y el resto de la zona B.De lo contrario me temo que nos espera un largo y escabroso camino del infierno al paraíso que diría Milton.Ojalá al imperio se le escape Argentina de las manos pero viendo lo visto lo dudo.Suerte amigo argentino.
The US want the europeans to go at war with Russia, they want India, Japan, Australia, South Korea and Taiwan to go at war with China. They want to attend a circus’s game where others are killing themselves using weapons provided by them. They do not want to be involved in a war where their country could be hit and destroyed as what they have done to many others. They might enter war if Russia or China would have been weakened enough like they did before in 1917 and 1942
I often read comments that “Russia should do this”… or “Russia must do that”. etc. This always seems highly demonstrative and very much like “signalling”, too me Surely it is up to Russia and the Russian people what it does? For us in the West, our responsibility and what we “must do” is ensure that it is not an “Empire of Lies” that we live in!
I have more trouble loading Gonzalo’s videos (on an iPhone) than anyone else’s. Very slow start and lots of stops to load more. I don’t know if he puts them out in ultra high definition or what. I wait, since I think it’s worth it, but it’s a fair amount of extra time gone.
We highly recommend reading Veghi’s article about what is really going on.
While Gonzalo Lira looks at the the much smaller picture, Veghi is similar to what Dr. Hudson writes about.
In essence, the Ukraine matter is a side show, while a more dangerous movement has been undertaken by the powers within the US Hegemon and its capitalist system. *It* is in trouble and its their actions that are being felt by everyone, save for the Super Wealthy.
Please read his article.
America will fight itself ,the crazies will attack the base of us society riot on the streets possibly burn the supreme court to the ground / kill judges , declare a emergency and put troops in the ground , cancel elections , thats what’s coming .
No need to SINK a carrier, just get a fire going on the flight deck. End of capability. Check out Nimitz crash, May 81. I was there, we were down for a couple of weeks. In a real war, getting back to sea in two weeks isn’t good enough. The US is done in these venues. F35 is shit, carriers are shit, it’s just SO over. Our C4ISR is also shit over there. How many months do you need to read Martyanov, Larry and the Saker’s guys to understand this stuff? Larry? Marty? Where am I wrong here?
You’re not wrong, just to many System Pigs at the trough. By far, one of Gonzalo’s best vids, was the System Pig vid. I don’t know if it still exists to watch, but I believe, (he’d know), was he got lifted shortly after that vid, it was like a stake through the neocons hearts.
Now I notice he hasn’t gone there for a while maybe he still does, wouldn’t surprise me if that is a ‘no no’ area for discussion.
Cheers M
I’d nominate the System Pigs vid as being in the Best Reality Based Short Documentary category. It wins hands down.
Sunset military/security industry is since long adjusted for maximum profit: horrendously overpriced junk in limited quantities. Long gone is the industrial powerhouse of WW2, which could have competed if kept intact (for profits sake it’s now in China/India, etc).
The rotten pindo political system is greased by the bribes from the perpetuators of the biggest scam in history, which get huge amounts of tax payer money. The system could be kept ongoing as long as the pindo’s masters could bled the whole world dry by printing dollars, out of thin air, as the world’s reserve currency.
There is no pindo mighty army without forcing the dollar down the world’s throat.
GL I would counter your argument half funny, half serious. The US has lost (eventually) every war it has started since 1945. (except Grenada) They’ve had plenty of experience in shrugging their shoulders and saying, nothing to do with us as they walk away. They might yet just walk away, feeling very butt hurt but pretending nothing happened. Hopefully. Or we’re all toast.
USA is already just a great power among 3. Not a bad place to be.
But the progressive economies PEs(Russia, PRC, Iran, et al) are not fighting the USA. THEY are fighting the regressive economies, ie the Userers, the City of London. When you make that substitution, the analysis makes more sense. USA, British Empire, Israel, etc are just sub”projects” of the “City”. That explains the Liberty attack. At that time the Israel project took precedence over the US imperialism project.
The PEs cannot stop until they eliminate the other RE system and the political class behind it. And the people of the USA must join that fight.
Russia, Keep going til ya get to Windsor Castle.
Read Matt Ehret and Cynthia Chung. Their opinion pieces and research clarify and support this perspective.
Gonzalo apparently is not aware of the 2002 Millenium War Games in which the blue team (the US ) was handed an immediate and resounding defeat – with its entire invasion fleet sunk – by red team (Iran).
An no, Iran is NOT afraid of the US. Quite the opposite, in fact. Thus the virtual paralysis over Iran in the west.
I do hope Gonzalo returns to sitreps and focusing on local news and events – the kind of on-the-ground commentary that is difficult to get.
My heartfelt sympathies, kidding, my body waste goes out to them CIA and Neocon boys & girls who have gone from Operation Wet Steroid Dream to Operation Save Face/Arse, in 4 short months, having had 14 years at least since 2008 to plan its violent putsch in Ukraine.
Are they totally stupid or just incredulously underestimated Russia’s SMO/operational capabilities and desire.
I guess it’s the former. The current Western leadership has forsaken any right to lead.
Maybe a little of both. Whether overestimating themselves or underestimating the Russian Forces and Intel, they started tripping over each other getting to msm’s ‘fake news’ podium. Either way, hard to say which is their bigger mistake.
It is just about Greater Israel, Syria pay back.Nothing to do with nato, G7 etc…
Personal zio vendetta of straussians jews like Nuland Kagan, Blinken and co…
The real orders don’t come from Washington, but from London which is messenger of Tel Aviv.
City of London created Israel fake entity via two World wars pretexts for this very creation (balfour 14-18 and
‘shoah’ 39-45).
Without these two european butcheries there will be no Israel at all.
WWIII is to get rid of Russia for two reasons:
Russia made their Syrian war fail at 50%, Assad is still there, though no greater zio possible, though no war with Iran they hate as much as Russia(or very risky).
And second reason these kaganists really believe, as former khazars fake jews (today knowned as Azkenazes)
that as they came from Russian caucasus, they simply own Russia and Ukraine as well(which is the same country
anyway except Galicia).
They are owners of all Russian natural ressources, it was supposed to be Crimea which would have become Israel.
They don’t care about China, pure commercial rivalry but no religious fanatic fight, no more.
80 millions US Evangelists also zio (usefull idiots) and 18 millions jews are awaiting armagedon, then rapture, their fake Messiah will finaly land (with lot of delay) , Jerusalem will be capital of the World after all Christians and muslims have killed each other during a nuclear war, every jew will receive ‘x’ number of slaves and supposely peace will reign on a new world order.(Talmud and Torah).
They will sacrifice Europe and even the US(not all)if necessary, these mad people are religious ideologues you can not look for any sanity from them.
This the fight of their life, they have been waiting for centuries.They failed multiple times via their usefull idiots (Napoleon, Hitler..) they bet on both but it did not work.
London is always behind not very far, look at Bojo is the leading warmonger, all false flags come from MI6 Foreign office(azov, white helmets, bellingcat, skripal, navalny, MH 17, fake chem ghouta attacks etc etc..and Maidan of course with cia help).
Cia is junior partner only of the UK junta, but not decision maker.
There are many more UK special forces today in Ukraine than US.They safeguard zelensky, this is why bojo has been several times in Kiev to tell zelensky : no peace guy, kill all ukrainians if necessary, we will exfiltrate you when necessary.In full opposition of EU Macron, Draghi, Sholtz visit the day before to force zelensky to capitulate in some form.
EU ‘leaders’ have zero power, Tel Aviv and London are running the show whatever the cost, Washington deep State just provide money and weapons.
They don’t care they can print money out of thin air for years for the ukrops, problem soon there will be no more ukrops to fight what will then UK Israel do?
US + UK + EU + JAPAN are bankrupted under dozen of trillions of debts and quadrillions of fake derivatives, only WWIII can delete the all ponzi.
It happened several times in the past, in the middle age it was even called jubilee, but problem jubilee is not possible anymore in 2022 except with a cataclysmic pretext, like millions of deads.
Roughly, here’s how I see things playing out in the short (or long) term.
NATO moves into Lithuania.
Joe Biden bans Russian roubles. The US sanctions Russian roubles. The EU uses the ban as a way to not have to pay for Russian natural gas, oil, coal, minerals and rare earths — at all.
Russia shuts down everything to the “unfriendly countries.”
NATO moves into Kaliningrad.
Europe begins to collapse in all ways possible — financially, economically, agriculturally, the works.
Russia conquers all of the Ukraine.
The US, the UK, the EU, Europe, and NATO invade Russia via the Ukraine. They justify invasion of Russia via the Ukraine as “saving the world for democracy.”
Meanwhile winter is coming. The West has to have that Russian natural gas, oil, coal, minerals and rare earths.
Somebody forgets to remind the West about Russian Winters. The troops on both sides stay warm with tactical nukes.
Both sides find out why atomic weapons are not used on the battlefield.
Interesting scenario you’ve imagined, blame-e. Could be. Could be.
Me? I see the billionaires transferring their $$$billions to Russia once it becomes clear that Russia is going to win in Ukraine. Flooding it really. Consequently things in the West will worsen in direct proportion to things in Russia rising.
America in particular has a fanatical belief in its God-given right to rule the world because it’s the “Shining City on the Hill” and “Beacon of Liberty”–or so it deludes itself.
As such, Americans will not tolerate any multipolar world and seek to destroy and subvert this deveopment by any means necessary–including the use of Weapons of Mass Destruction, not only nuclear but also biological weapons.
The Americans are exactly like their Zionist brethren.
They both have a Sampson Complex.
If America can’t rule the world, it will take the world down with it.
Hahaha! I asked you to edit my original comment that I thought had become messed up…but that if you did not wat to it was fine. In which case you would have had to toss my edited copy leaving up the original as it was.
looks like you tossed them both! Not a problem man. This is not important stuff! If I comment again I will be precise, on top and do good english all the way
all the best…Ben Carson
Hi Ben,I did edit it and repost the comment. I think you just missed it. It won’t be in the same spot as the other one,it will be further along the thread,MOD
At what point do the crazies that set war policy in the “Combined West” recognize totally the futility of trying to fight Russia “conventionally” and “release the Kraken” of nuclear weapons?
You know there are nodes of nuts in the “warfighting” cadre that are asking that question the raucous old harpy, Madeline Albright asked:
“ What’s the point of having this superb military if you can’t use it?”
All those tactical and strategic nuclear weapons just lying around, getting older and less robust, expensive to maintain — what will be the moment when the forking insane Fokkers who unilaterally “set policy” say to themselves, the Rooskies are massing forces over here — one little dial-a-yield nuke can take them all out? These Fokkers are totally unaccountable, to us mopes who will be incinerated and irradiated in the event, for such decisions, and it looks like the whole political/military structure is slowly getting to that point of collective insanity that will resort to Armageddon rather than continue to be embarrassed by their own failures,
Gonzolo is thinking like a rational person when he says the US has concluded it can’t beat Russia, and wants no part of that. That’s what a rational person would conclude. The problem is, Washington isn’t rational, and hasn’t been in a long time. Even now, they are deploying additional military assets to Europe. It’s obvious they are not going to let this just go to Russia without going all in. If they can’t provoke Russia into attacking Lithuania, Poland or Finland, they will stage a “false flag” {Chemical weapons use seems to be their favorite excuse, like they did with Saddam Hussein}. On the subject of aircraft carriers, let me tell you from experience. I am an old submariner, we used to have a saying: “There are only two types of ships: Submarines and targets!” Carriers throw off a HUGE sonar signature that is impossible to hide. The US has not fought against a nation with a modern navy since WW2. This will be an embarrassment to the Pentagon. The Russian navy has the world’s largest submarine fleet in the world, and it is first rate. By and large, surface ships are obsolete in 21st century naval warfare. The Russians understand this, and have for years. Not the US though. They still pour money {that they don’t have} into super carrier development because the MIC loves the money, and NOTHING is as costly as a super carrier. Plenty of kick-backs to the crooked politicians too, the money is easily hidden in the cost of one or more.
The western partners are entering in a new phase of sitzkrieg.
The western MSM partners published the protocole of Putin phone call with Macron.
Putin cant trust any of these western scums.
They will use every shit and even its only bird shit against him and Russia.f
Especially Germany with Scholz and Baerbock setting them up as Russophobes.
The green pedo children book writer is MEGA Russophobe.
Below links for two new sitzkrieg operations against Russia and Putin:

To be honest I get the feeling that the Greens are actively charged with destroying a future Russo-German alliance. Even though there is a strong undercurrent in both peoples striving for this – albeit dramatically weakening on the part of the increasingly disillusioned and disheartened Russians – it is not yet completely dead. Some on both sides of the artificial divide still hold the line. It will be very difficult though, very unhappy and difficult.
There is currently not much the average German can do to stop the Greens or Scholz for that matter. Scholz is a deeply compromised individual. They must have had something on him prior to the CumEx scandal. I suspect it is compromising photographs of him and underage children, probably boys. Something to that nature. After the intensity of German resistance to the biosecurity scam actually even spearheading the global resistance movement (so much for the dull and passive Germans, it is not that we don’t do what we can), the empire would not stand chances with leadership. All we got are WEF stooges and a possible pedophile. And leadership is right: the people who resisted biosecurity are most likely to resist war with Russia or anything less then friendship with the few exceptions of those conspiracy minded people who think they are all in this together to trick the people into the Great Reset. These people don’t trust anyone.
All we can do at this point is really trust that the Russians will stay our friends and not mistake us for these people and their endless terrible continent destroying schemes of pointless wars. At present all we can substantially do is predict Russian success in Ukraine loudly and clearly, call for a negotiated settlement, mock the ineffectiveness of the sanctions and let reality put pressure on these bureaucrats. They are already seriously challenged with what is coming out about the ineffectiveness of lockdowns and the v. side effects so that “team reality” is gaining force naturally. This is the only thing I can see that will allow for competent policies and leadership to penetrate the ideological firewall.
Thanks, I could not agree more. See here https://akf-europe.org/umdenken-und-intelligent-handeln-irene-eckert/
Disfunctional relationships between countries only serve to feed rationalization of a kinetic war. Where all of European and, to a lesser degree, all people in the West, are being used to force unipolarity on world resources by Western billionaires. Their desperation can’t be hidden any longer and Ukraine/Russia are the first to be sacrificed. Remember, these long held hostilités do not end with war, they are pasted down to affect offspring who have no one to avenge, b/c the perpetrators are likely dead. All this so a few Western billionaires get to determine how best to exploit global markets to create and join this Western Oligarchy. Putin and Xi might have joined, why didn’t they? And would u wish to join these people? These are insane people who don’t deserve to interact with others no less have hidden influence to set policy. We all must know that G(oke)-7 is a puppet show. The real power too afraid to even try to be honest–which can’t be accomplished anyway.
The BIG WAR was always scheduled to take place in the Middle East.
Apartheid Israhell has unfinished business with Syria and Iran. And Russia protecting both has been a torn on Israhell’s side.
So the Ukraine war is really about the Middle East.

The basic social power lies in the ordinary, all of the people, together, not in the constitution. The people in their majority are the law: The people can act collectively in full legality, if they get up and move and take over their country and change immediately the way it is run!
The political polls are out there, constantly monitored political analysts continually! Literally every day we know the up-to date ratings of all the politicians up for our assessment and voting choice, where they stand in the estimation of the voters. The only fact that keeps any current prime minister/president of W-Europe nations, The USA, Canada- Biden, Trudeau etc., is that elections are not scheduled. If they were all such incumbents would likely be voted out!
But why must the people wait 4-5 more years to get rid of leaders who must be removed now…who never should have been voted in through a system that is now so corrupt that it allows no choice really between the available political parties? They are all the same across the entire spectrum of Western countries and nations – vote one or the other of such corrupt candidates. They are all corrupt, bought out and/or socially compromised by the money powers
Why must the people settle for such absolute corruption, which ensures only one awful outcome for each and every nation hobbled by their constitution that they actual did not all collectively write, but which they must obey even if that constitution – in fact all of them – are now in clear opposition to the best interest of the nations after centuries in some cases?
These constitutions are no longer legal because of their functioning in opposition and compromise of the interest of the people of the nations they govern! All these constitutions function against the ordinary peoples of these nations absolutely and comprehensively only in the interest of the money power of the nations West.
The people are free to act in their own collective interest, the interest of the majority, are quite legally free to go out and arrest all the billionaires and all the governments and and criminal leaders. All the evidence is easily available they can all be charged with their criminal activities summarily tried, jailed and executed where necessary… and start afresh by doing immediately what needs to be done to solve the problems of their nations.
@JMs741
In a nutshell, the central banks and their owners want to privatize Russian state assets, they can then monopolize and manipulate to their perpetual advantage via tax exempt trusts.
The first attempt failed, when Putin jailed Khordokovsky, on trumped up charges of tax evasion, because he proposed selling Yukos to Exxon. That was a masterstroke by Putin.
Now they are attempting a takeover using NATO and the US military.
A negotiated settlement is not in the Russians interest though. They may feel sympathy towards the European spineless population who get upset but don’t actually get off their backsides and do a lot. But as Gonzalo says – that’ll be down to the freezing migrants soon. Russia’s first priority is to itself, as it rightly should be, and if some Europeans who elected corrupt parliamentarians freeze, then that’s just hard luck – for now. Russia can win this with the support of those who survive this and fully understand that their own corrupt govts are to blame for their plight. The rest are already lost. For the USA to stop being a threat, that would necessitate Russia to effectively govern Europe and at least contain the UK. That can be done by economic means, and maybe a few disruptions to refineries that think they can refine oil from elsewhere. This doesn’t need to get anywhere near full blitzkreig for that to happen.
Here in the U.S., we Americans have been doing our part by trying to sift out neoliberal globalist flunkies from the Republican party in the primary elections. (The fact that the globalist wing of the Republican party is pro-Ukraine and the MAGA wing is neutral or pro-Russia makes things much, much easier.) The Democrats are making a pig’s breakfast out of everything and, thank goodness, are expected to get massacred in the midterm elections.
@French Bloke
1 First of all, overall public opinion in Germany is already in favour of a negotiated settlement and no further arms deliveries to the Ukraine. This was a minority call from the beginning. 59% are strongly against it, 20% for it and 21% undecided. Hence the enormous resistance in getting heavy weaponry out of Germany and the foot dragging the Ukrainian ambassador is accusing us of. What the Greens are doing has no democratic mandate. They force a minority opinion on the entire country.

2 Contrary to popular opinion on this blog, countries like Germany (or Japan for that matter) do not need to be denazified, which is nothing but code for violent suppression of sovereignty and national dignity in perpetuity in order to exploit a nation’s economic engine. Germans are among the least violent people there are and give more to social and charitable causes than any other nation on the face of the earth. You can either deride us for being passive and emasculated or call us a menace that needs to be denazified, pick one and only one.
Denazification is precisely the problem because it is used as a pretext for counterinsurgency (insurgency against whom?). You can easily detect how close an issue ist to the Empire’s heart by who and what it feels the need to hysterically hitlerize: Covid dissenters, anti-vaxxers, actual Labour parties, bids for rapprochement with Russia, NATO sceptics, anti-war activists and so on. Germany needs to stop Denazification wholesale and start nation building instead. Sober, rational and based in our legitimate economic, security and geopolitical self-interest.
In said self-interest was and is good standing and cooperation with all of Western, Southern and Eastern Europe + a stable and prosperous Middle East as our direct neighbour. The EU exists, because that wish was a deep seated undercurrent in the European peoples as Nietzsche rightfully noted, even though another agenda has coopted the idea. In general however: what we want is a pan-European federation / alliance of nation states by necessity including Russia under one undivided security system and ideally, if I personally had my way, a trading system under a pure accounting unit where one nation cannot slip into debt servitude to another because it can only take from the shared basket of goods to the degree of the goods it has entered. This was the original German proposal, celebrated by Keynes and then betrayed by the Dollar system that would not give up the option of putting other nations into debt slavery. In such a federated European continent all nations get to thrive unmolested and evenly and problems like the Germans basically having to pay for everyone and then being hated for it can be avoided. The EU needs to be cut back to such a well-rounded federation.
Russia has good people who want the same thing (or at least did so in the past), Putin having mentioned a pan-European security system and integration himself and then there is Glaziev, but she also has a very disillusioned and hardened security sector. They might have already switched to a hegemonic hostile mindset. At this point all we can do is to keep our eyes on the price and communicate as much as possible.
3 As for the call for a negotiated settlement: all wars are settled in negotiations eventually. All of them. Most people live under a very tight and extremely potent infowar umbrella, the old seapower has undisputed dominance and supremacy in PR, really noone is as good as them. Currently what people can see and grasp are the following things: “NATO should not have expanded eastward and we should have done more to avoid this war. Russia is the aggressor and must be stopped. We must somehow help the Ukrainians, the victims, but not send heavy weapons. –> negotiated settlement.” This is a position that one can take in our current media environment, so much has been carved out as uncensorable. It has gained majority favour, even though this majority is being constantly badgered by a few WEF related media stooges (literally graduates of these WEF programs) and the settlement proponents facing merciless smear campaigns by this same entrenched media network.
4 As for the migrants: I do see the problem. I also see the problem of the propaganda umbrella in general. Nothing but reality itself will break the spell. If we stand a chance, I don’t know, but it seems to me that this is what it is going to take.
Are there any German parties that favor rapproachment with Russia?
I would also like to know why support for the Greens has actually gone up over the last few months. Unless the polls are completely wrong?
Polls deliver “the results that are wanted” by the people who pay for them.
@Prof. Spudd
Yes. The conservative right wing AfD and the newly forming decolonized Left under Sahra Wagenknecht. Covid dissenters too in the overwhelming majority and many of the non voters. — Keep in mind that the establishment is beginning to notice that is losing a substantial portion of the public. 30% is their guesstimate according to MP Gregor Gysi and as he says: this is too much. V. mandates have been defeated despite a truly nasty propaganda campaign and currently pressure is mounting on the health minister Lauterbach.
So what are these people doing? Tightening media censorship and criminalizing calling politicians incompetent. It is about all they are capable of. Again. The spell of conditioning will only be broken by reality and nothing else.
The West nightmare is that Russia has decided to finish what Stalin started i Moscow.
Thanks for the talk…
It seems that the motivation Brother Lira says is the cause of “ruling elite” actions/policies is “ego”. I think he says this. If so, I agree, but they are also motivated by fear. Even that fine Lady of Virtue the Hillary cried out about “nooses” in 2016…and Fine Gentleman Bush the Elder spoke of “lamp posts…if the people knew…” And Great Statesman the IO’Bama spoke of “pitchforks”. I say “also” but what is fear but a form attached to ego?
Indeed, does History offer up any examples of what happens to losers?
Would it even be possible for these people to run away? It’s like MacBeth…or those fine heroes that got away to Patagonia, or Texas?
The ten dollar question is this. When it gets cold who will Jane and Joe six-pack in Europe blame? If overwhelming logic prevails they will blame troublemakers in the US and demand they be kicked out. This might be what the Blinken administration is trying to do because it is not possible to know where the true allegiance of that group lies.
If the US gets kicked out of Europe that will be the final nail in the coffin of petro-dollar and reserve currency.
I fail to see why the EU would let two NON EU countries bully them. UK and US. EU should tell them to get the hell out of their business and stop ruining their countries. I don’t know why they don’t just DO that.
Magnific panoramic view with essential & deep takes.
I have heard here in European mainstreets that Russia is going to allow refugees from colapsed Europe just after summertime… ;-)
Cheers
Ha!
Well if that offer materializes and is extended to the North Americans, Alaska could see an influx of peeps bartering and elbowing their way onto fishing vessels to cross the Bering Strait.
Meanwhile we ‘sit’ and twiddle our thumbs wondering if there will be a North America after 2022.
Cheers back
An offer of refugee status for Christians from the USA would be heartily welcomed.
I’d rather drive a taxi in a truly Christian nation than keep doing lucrative work here.
There is no way USA looses Europe.
The masses and elites in EU are totally culturally dependent on EU.
Aye…. just remind you of what happened to Mussolini and his girlfriend, one day sipping cocktails, drinking the best of wines, eating olives, all the best of foods…….. the following day, both naked, stabbed multiple times,hung upside down, his genitals removed, and her breasts cut off! I had an uncle who was one of the first to see them both.
Or how about Ceaușescu….. shot with his wife! Ten minute talk to a prosecution offered lawyer, ooh, and prior to the trial, hand picked paratroopers to be used as a firing squad… nothing like…. march the guilty bastard in…ash English and American democracy at work. Nothing like being judge jury and executioner. But even I would readily accept the heads of those perpetrating this WW3 scenario, better there English American French and German heads than the nations.
And wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could start the justice and retribution for all pogroms in the America leadership, rather than America starting pogroms as history teaches us, all over the leadership of world nations. A wonderful change!
All w/o good reason. Russia saw 1 million troops and cavalry from wide open plains towards Moscow and 60 million more the following century. These people don’t respect history or humanity
I don’t suppose Gonzalo will see this. Pity… Gonzalo, all you say is true, as usual. However this one misses the point.
It isn’t ‘fear of losing hegemon’ that so motivates the Western Elites to seek WWIII at present. It’s ‘fear of losing heads on shoulders.’ Their shoulders. Due to a factor that has nothing to do with carrier battle groups or economic capacity or even ideology. One that I think you, living with the very distracting SMO around you, may not have perceived.
It’s this. We’re now 9 months into the vax programs, and suddenly live birth rates are plummeting, all cause mortality figures are exploding, still-birth numbers are exploding, insurance death pay outs are exploding. Some of us knew this was coming, but until now, given the well-controlled MSM, the rising death rates from the Elite’s psychopathic game of global depopulation have been possible to hide from the masses.
But birth rate collapse… this can’t be covered up. The Elites know they have a very limited time frame in which to distract the world’s people from what the Elites have done to them. The Elites need a smokescreen as serious as WWIII urgently. Some _other_ cause of megadeath. Or they are going to be hunted down by enraged mobs, and torn apart in the streets. Soon.
It is the underlying foundation of everything that is happening in the world atm. There are many factions and objectives, but the faction at the apex want one thing. A world with under 500 million people, slaved to the Elites. They have been running their own ‘special biowar operation’ to achieve that. And it has gone badly wrong.
There was supposed to be 100% ‘vaccination’, with very few side effects for a number of years, then a sudden wave of death by multiple mysterious causes. Too many early deaths. Now they risk being hunted down, (possibly tried) and definitely executed for genocide. WWIII is their only possible path to saving their own lives. This is why they appear to be insanely determined to start this Russia vs NATO war. It’s not insane, it’s self preservation on their part.
The insanity was the plan for genocide, that the Elites have worked on for over two decades. And yeah, the Ukraine biolabs were definitely involved. Too many details to relate here. It remains to be seen if the Russians are aware of the full depths of this, and whether they will ever make their findings public.
Jabzkrieg. That’s a better name for it.
Basically spot on. Sadly I believe that fewer than 5% of the population understands the true magnitude of evil at play in all of this.
Yes, it was a fraud from the day the WHO changed the definition of pandemic from one based on an exceptional number of deaths to one based on cases using a fraudulent PCR test to justify mass vaccine programs. However, it shouldn’t comes as surprise to motives of the real controllers of the Western governments because their organisations such as the Club of Rome published studies decades ago such as the Limits to Growth as to their malevolent intentions. The conflict in the Ukraine, caused by them, is one more stage in their long term strategy.
“Jabzkrieg. That’s a better name for it.”
Or possibly even ‘shitzkrieg’. Seriously though, the points you make are compelling. We are at the beginning of the end times, courtesy of Big Pharma and its honchos in Big Government. The evidence is all around for those who dare to look.
I thought the shots initially began late 2020, early 2021?
Interesting progression; from clot shots to hypersonic missiles.
A mon avis ce que vous dites est proche de la réalité, ces satanique n’ont pas pu et ne pourront réussir leur plan biologique mais ils vont essayer le Nucléaire pour le vœu de satan d’exterminer la création de DIEU de la Terre.
Ces sataniques savent bien qu’ils seront eux aussi éliminés dans le Nucléaire a moins qu’ils ont déjà acceptes d’êtres des martyrs des protocoles de sion « mourront tous en gohim au service de satan conf « Le peuple, et même leurs gouvernements seront comme des enfants, mineurs. » Protocoles de Sion 15
Enfin de compte DIEU est présent il va nous aider dans ces moments de faiblesse face a ces sataniques, il suffit de le reconnaître et lui demander de l’aide.
Le plus rigolo dans ces histoires c’est ce qu’il va dire satan a ses adorateurs qui nous emmerdent le jour “J”:
Ibrahim v22 Coran
“Et quand tout sera accompli, le Diable dira: « Certes, Allah vous avait fait une promesse de vérité; tandis que moi, je vous ai fait une promesse que je n’ai pas tenue. Je n’avais aucune autorité sur vous si ce n’est que je vous ai appelés, et que vous m’avez répondu. Ne me faites donc pas de reproches; mais faites-en à vous-mêmes. Je ne vous suis d’aucun secours et vous ne m’êtes d’aucun secours. Je vous renie de m’avoir jadis associé [à Allah]. » Certes, un châtiment douloureux attend les injustes [les associateurs]”.
Source traduction: https://www.le-coran.com/coran-francais-sourate-14-0.html
====================================
In my opinion what you say is close to reality, these satanics have not been able and will not be able to succeed in their biological plan but they will try the Nuclear for the wish of satan to exterminate the creation of GOD from the Earth.
These satanics know that they too will be eliminated in the Nuclear unless they have already agreed to be martyrs of the Protocols of Zion “will all die as gohim in the service of satan conf” The people, and even their governments will be like children, minors. Protocols of Zion 15
Finally, GOD is present and will help us in these moments of weakness in the face of these satanic people, it is enough to recognize Him and ask Him for help.
The funniest thing about these stories is what Satan will say to his worshippers on “D” day:
Ibrahim v22 Koran
“And when all is accomplished, the Devil will say:” Certainly, DIEU had made you a promise to truth; while I made you a promise that I did not keep. I had no authority over you except that I called you, and you answered me. So do not reproach me; but do it to yourselves. I am not helping you and you are not helping me. I deny that you once associated me [with DIEU]. “Of course, a painful punishment awaits the unjust [the associators]”.

Agree. I think the inflation, food shortage, especially wheat and feed grains and loss of income will contribute to malnutrition and their alibi. This will work as cover for the mRNA deaths. The deaths are due to malnutrition, because of what Putin did to Ukraine and the economy of the entire world. Evil never runs out of alibis.
Enjoy Mr. Lira’s commentaries; they are both provocative and informative. But “There is no doubt about the outcome?” Yeah, well when Russian military marches on Dnepropetrovsk and Odessa I will believe it. Unfortunately I think Scott Ritter was right about the possibility of a defense in depth.
Scott Ritter, June 25, 2022:
« the more Ukrainians will die and the weaker NATO will become »
https://consortiumnews.com/2022/06/25/scott-ritter-the-fantasy-of-fanaticism/
In some way it looks like Russia will need to take it all.
I saw an idea map on a Russian site on how Russia would divide and re-map Poland, East-Europe and Germany, and eat Baltic back after their wish.
But the clowns continue to raise the stakes. UK, Sweden, Finland and all Latin-Europe will continue to send men, money and weapons to Ukraine to break the neck, so some day Russia will have to deal with them too.
He’s right, once you give away you’re manufacturing your war capacity no longer exist which the U.S. did at the bequest of the companies and corporations, so they could increase their profits. During WW2, every plant and factory in the United States were producing products for the war effort. Now the only place we could get war products from Asia where our production went would be Japan and S. Korea, for the EU would be in the middle of that war and Russian missiles would soon destroy any means of producing war products.
Slight tweek ..
History shows that Russian suck at war At The Beginning: Because of peacetime corruption, they always have the wrong leaders at the beginning They take their lumps, learn hard lessons, and come back much stronger. And they find their warrior general.
Happened in WWI The armies of the Grand Duke at Tannenberg and Masurian Lakes. Two years later, in 1916, under General Brusilov, they launch the Brusilov Offensive, which could have been a turning point for the Allies had the Russian state not collapsed in revolution. All military historians rate the Brusilov Offensive as one of the best planned, best executed military operations of WWI. Only a true act of God, namely the Rasputitsia, saved Russia from collapse
And, of course, in WWII, Stalin’s deranged purges of the military caused USSR to lose 3 million men in only 4 months between June 22, 1941 and mid October,1941.
The next year, they find their warrior general in Zhukov and, after sensing Hitler monomania about capturing “The City of Stalin”, turn Stalingrad into bait to entrap 250K German of the 6th Army. Brilliant. Even more brilliant was the second phase of that counterattack which almost trapped the 1st, 17th and 4th Panzer Army and could have ended the war in 6 months. And then they spring Operation Bagration, the most brilliant offensive of WWII.
And so it appears in this war. My sense is that Russia was buffaloed by some of Ukraines initial defensive tacts, particularly the mass use of drones. But then again, I may have been taken in by Ukroganda. I do know that once again, Russia has figured it out .. and heaven help any army that would try to root Russia out of the Donbass.
Please get your historical facts correct – the 2nd World War was USSR not Russia. Amended. Stop reading Ukrainian false propaganda too. Mod.
No, the prewar purges did not “cause” USSR to lose the first six months of Operation Barbarossa. Nor was it saved by a miracle.
USSR knew it was coming but was unable to completely mobilize and prepare. Could the purged commanders have done a better job than their replacements? We’ll never know.
What we do know is Stalin executed hundreds of flag rank officers in the fall of 1941 for poor performance. The remaining commanders got the message, and that’s when Russia’s fortunes changed.
I wonder after the Zelensky’s regime has fallen, isn’t it possible that whoever takes over power in the rump left-over could actually ally with Russia and benefit from the emerging Russian’s robust economy? If that happens then Ukraine, though reduced in size, would not have to remain poor.
I’m thinking after the fall of the current Nazi regime in Ukraine many of the hothead Nazis in the country would disappear into the Baltic and Nordic nations where their platform is expanding at a faster rate now. And the Ukrainian oligarchs would move their remaining loots and families to Israel or Canada.
So it’s possible that those who remain in the country would be the true Ukrainian patriots who know who their enemies are. And that Russia is not the enemy..
Kolomoisky’s already ensconced in the US, having been given ‘tax breaks’ to buy dead rust belt manufacturing ‘assets’ e.g. steel, one of his ‘favourites’. And, that was done to ensure Kolo would launder the $5B+ he stole from the Ukie bank(s) through Amerika. An ‘arrangement’ no doubt facilitated as part of the biolab ‘investments by the Yanks and Europe in Ukraine.
More lately, Kolo has found high end Swiss property to his investment liking, as have a number of Ukr politicians. Average purchase price of Ukr pollies’ Swiss ‘property investments’ is 11m Euros.
Zelensky’s got >$600m stashed o/s – even admitted by Forbes mag. Plus, earlier, Kolo had a property ‘developed’ for Zelensky in Florida, USA. Zelensky’s also got a ‘citizenship arrangement’ with that slob, Johnson’s UK – which suggests the banks in the City of London Corp are one preferred laundromat – same as it ever was. France has also received some Ukr funds for properties from the Kolo/Zelensky duet.
The last round of the ICIJ investigations of Monsec Fonseca’s ‘relationships’ in Panama (i.e. ‘Pandora Papers’) showed Ukr political figures topping the table for numbers using MF’s services to stash loot, and topping the table by a looooong way.
There are 2 main reasons Ukr is the poorest country in Europe, and has not had a jot of economic growth in the 30 odd years since the USSR ended; 1) thieves and murderers, and 2) relationships with external thieves and murderers.
P.S. And Nazis.
He’s using Carpathian mineral water to make coffee says that he is somewhere in Ukraine, but not 100% sure in Kharkov…
I believe that we have been in WW3 since September of 2001 and that these are its closing and defining moments.It is not necessary that WW3 would follow the same framework as the previous two WW’s (which also had their own unique paradigms and did not follow set patterns, eg trench warfare as opposed to blitzkrieg etc).
The current WW has been all about asymmetric warfare at all levels(proxy armies,cyberwarfare,economic sanctions,bio war fare, mini nukes, depleted uranium weapons which have made places like Iraq and Afghanistan nuclear wastelands etc) and the actions of the past few years is coming to a close, but we still have a few more years to go and perhaps by 2028 things would come to a definitive conclusion.
And why not believe in the Russian plan? It is not possible to continue with the nonsense of seven decades, until now the aggressors and thugs are the Westerners as were the Germans and not Stalin’s Russians and they continue with the chant that they are the good ones, of course when the opinions are of Westerners.
Even for Iran, Aircraft Carriers are not much of a threat. Missiles ended the power of navies back in the 80’s with the Sheffield/Exocet adventure.
Kiev is attacked from the Caspian Sea, and internal lake…
Many (myself included) believe carrier groups and warships in general have been rendered obsolete in the age of relatively cheap, fast, stealthy and smart anti-ship missiles. That in any real war all the navies will be on the sea floor within an hour of hostilities commencing. This just hasn’t been demonstrated in practice yet, so ‘superpowers’ like the USA can continue with their fantasies.
The problem is, the ships will take all their nuclear weapons and reactor cores to the bottom with them. This is an extinction level disaster. Whether it takes a few decades, or a thousand years for the radioisotopes to spread through the oceans and contaminate the land, is irrelevant. The same goes for all the land nuclear reactors and nuclear waste repositories, all of which will eventually lose containment in a post-war scenario. A real war now means the end of life on Earth. Probably for many millions of years. High background radiation level is not survivable by any higher forms of life. And no there’s no ‘evolving’ to cope with it.
This is just another example of the genocidal Elites being stupid, scientifically ignorant destructive oafs. Trying to start WWIII in order to save themselves from mobs enraged by awareness of the vax damage. Or for ego, profits, or Satan’s bidding, whatever you believe their motives may be. But WWIII will mean the end of all life on Earth. Not just a few decades or hundreds of years of ‘industrial setback.’
@TerraHertz
The number of nuclear reactors aboard ships is rather small, and in any case if they sank to the bottom of an ocean, they would not cause much harm, since any plutonium or uranium would decay by emitting neutrons that would be contained and diluted to harmless levels.
However, nuclear weapons exploded to the atmosphere would cause levels of plutonium and uranium to rise to higher levels spread worldwide, which would likely increase the risk of cancers and birth defects, as did the earlier nuclear bomb tests of the US and Russia.
The use of depleted Uranium in weaponry, particularly in Iraq has caused a significant increase in birth defects especially Fallujah. This is definitely a war crime.
I hate to write one of these “well, ackshually” notes, but feel compelled.
All those reactor cores on the bottom of the ocean is far far better than burning on the surface, and infinitely better than burning them in a microsecond as weapons.
We have evolved with a certain level of natural radioactivity. The potassium in seawater is a source of powerful gamma rays. Sufficiently powerful to create positrons. Yup, antimatter is flying around in seawater. What saves us is that there is not a lot of it, only a few thousand Becquerels per cubic meter of water.
… It turned out that all the radwaste Japan dumped (and continues to dump) in the Pacific since 2011 has been diluted to where it is hard to find without specialized scientific instruments. Granted, it is still a local problem in Japan, all that hot-as-hades nuclear waste in one place. Certain species of sea life have disappeared from near the site along the Japanese coast.
But if a core, or dozens of cores, were slowly rusting away at the bottom, they would rejoin the thorium and uranium and related elements in the natural world. Yes it causes mutations in living things, but it would not be an extinction level event.
Both of you should look up the concerns related to the sunken submarine Komsomolets. eg https://thebarentsobserver.com/en/node/6619
Uranium and Plutonium are soluble in seawater, There are ocean currents that bring water from deep zones up to the surface eg along coastlines. Slowly, but so what? Half-lives of some isotopes in reactors and weapon cores are in the hundreds of millions of years. Containment structures are subject to corrosion in seawater, and ships sunk by hostile action will be heavily damaged. Containments may be completely breached.
Just because the Komsomolets hasn’t significantly contaminated anything yet, doesn’t prove it won’t do so in the next few hundred or thousand years. To say ‘there is no such risk’ is the stuff of supreme ignorance, or paid shills.
Nuclear contamination effects are _always_ downplayed by nuclear proponents. Nobody in their family suffered radiation-induced cancer or birth defects presumably, and they have no sympathetic imagination.
We’ve had two fairly bad well known incidents – Chernobyl and Fukushima. Both have had severe, world-reaching effects and both are effectively still ongoing with potentially worsening effects in the long term. (And a few less well known incidents.) But let’s say just two, and also ignore use of DU munitions in two war theatres so far.
Say there are 100 more such incidents at sea and on land during WWIII. Pick any spot on Earth and tell me about how it won’t be contaminated. How about after another 500 years?
Also explain to me how even completely undamaged reactors and waste containment sites are going to be securely maintained for hundreds of years without accident, after a general technological collapse likely after a nuclear war.
There’s a massive blind spot that virtually everyone today suffers in this matter. Through a combination of technical ignorance, ‘never happened before’ effect, and normalcy bias. Future generations after a nuclear war are going to be cursing you guys, for as long as the human species survives. Which is unlikley to be for many generations.
Despite the hype, Western CIWS (Phalanx, Goalkeeper) systems are not going to be very effective against even “later” ASM technology. ALL current Russian ASMs have a high-acceleration terminal phase, which combined with their low RCS makes detection and tracking difficult, especially when the target has terminal agility (as do all current Russian and I believe Chinese ASMs).
Development of e.g. Kinzahl have really made conventional “gun-based” CIWS obsolete – too fast and too small an RCS to allow acquire / lock / compute firing solution in the time available between effective detection and impact. Whilst swarm attack would certainly overwhelm any CIWS, a single hypersonic (terminal phase) ASM currently provides such a high probability of kill that swarms would be a waste of munitions.
I mentioned this on Alexei M’s channel a while back, and further reading seems to support this assertion. In reality surface assets are sitting ducks, and to be frank I’m not so sure that submarines are that much safer – Russia’s come a long way since their supercavitating Shkval.
Agreed. I rather think that Gonzalo underestimates the real nature of Iran’s massive missile arsenal.
They say nato is building to 300 thousand…that’s a lot of soldiers to feed in Europe next Fall and Winter, under the circumstances…and it may be that Rus isn’t going to wait and watch the build-up…instead I expect Rus will change the ground assumptions of nato…and some of that may well be “military-technical”…possibly in relation to Lithuania…noting Rus build up in Belarus and nifty rocket Iskander. Note Rus Baltic fleet…is possible to kettle Baltic Satrapies…question for the heavens, and Stalin’s ghost. I not story that Lithuanian Army unit was encountered in 404 by Rus Army. Some may be alive…
300 tho, those boys can’t be left with tasks for long…
Anyway…pretty soon sitzkreig phase undergoes metamorphosis. Like flask of nitro.
Kadyrov today announced the assembly of four new battalions……no memo required.
Metamorphosis: like Shitzkreegk?
Cheers M
I saw that 300 too. Not a coincidence the number chosen.
Each cohort has its mythology. I observed the AZE hearken a lot to Sparta and the idealized sacrifice of the few against overwhelming odds. Steven Pressfield was a favorite of West Point and the Joint Chiefs for a while and wrote the historical fiction “The Hot Gates,” – myth making on epic scale and the manufacturing of the desired war ethos. Inspiring book too, more lasting effects than amphetamines!
Leonidas & Xerxes
It does parallel the way all Earth was submitted to them in their heyday, the few West colonizing the Rest. What Hitler so admired about the British was how a tiny Island people controlled 25%+ of mankind and many others indirectly. It is impossible to let go once one tastes this elixir. The killing of Russian envoys, breaking of sacred treaties, waging war against the cosmos and Most High himself, committing and condemning one’s entire society to the maelstrom of the lust for eternal Power.. Events progress to their logic.
This is Madness!
Gonzalo did another one the Russian bond default. The Russians would do everyone a favour if they opened a gateway to buy bonds for Crypto. Crypto is currently tanking, but it has its core function in cross border payment that is uncensorable. With the option to “back” Crypto in Russian sovereign dept there might be a way to stabilize the Crypto market and make it a viable option for payment and it would be a win win for Russia and for the Crypto crowd. — Might be that there is a flaw in this idea. If there are any Crypto people here, I would be interested in feedback.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrTjdW_3U1M
Diana, I can’t understand how bitcoin hasn’t tanked already, seeing as it’s essentially a ponzi scheme.
Now, dogecoin…. Dogecoin is another matter!
But seriously, I believe Putin understands the underpinning realities of crypto better than most, and that there’s a good reason why people who’ve bought into it are now losing their shirts.
Precious metals are the safer bet. They’re still relatively cheap… compared to next year anyway.
I understand the point about precious metals and anything tangible in general and you are right: this is among the best investments at present. Metals in general are.
However: it is pretty hard to use them for trade. For that you need some form of accounting unit or currency, in the modern age: digital, in order to make it work. A Crypto currency “backed” by Russian sovereign debt would not be the same dubitable investment, but a real currency, only with specific properties: anonymity and uncensorability. Anyway, it is just the sketch of an idea and probably not realistic. I just thought, Crypto could become viable if it is backed by something substantial and can be used in real trade as a parallel currency system.
https://news.bitcoin.com/5-countries-accept-bitcoin-legal-tender-end-of-next-year-bitmex-ceo/
Cryptos are still structured as a Pyramid, with a bottom up collapse. Best physical metal investment, with proper training, would come in the magnum variety, although they make nifty automatic slug delivery systems for the ladies. Just sayin’ cause that shiny stuff, it really does put a target on your back.
Cheers M
Diana
I have said it multiple times, If you can’t hold it in your hand, you don’t own it! the only way Crypto becomes semi-viable is if it is backed by something physical ie commodities, but in order to do that on a global basis, crypto needs to be pegged to a commodity that has a global finite supply. Gold is the only commodity that makes sense and possibly silver.
Well, then it is not crypto. Decent Crypto is backed by PoW (Proof of Work). It is inherent and part of its creation.
Governments don’t like it at all .. because it deprives them of all ‘money creator’ power. In one fell swoop the power of creation of money goes to the people. It frustrates me, as decent crypto can solve all of these problems quickly. And the moment governments try to own it, as they feel they have to, it loses its value of being peer to peer electronic cash. And that is all that decent crypto is .. peer to peer electronic cash.
Although bitcoin isn’t fully dependent on the internet, internet and power blackouts will of course cause problems. Probably at the exact time you’re needing access the most. I know enough about crypto to believe the government will come hard after it too… once they figure out a way.
Of course they can just as well come after any metals you have.
The advantage of metals I think lies in their convertability/liquidity. Imagine we’re reduced to bartering for life’s necessities in the near future. Who knows? Hey, tools could become the next currency.
If you hedge your crypto with metals be aware there is a lot of fake gold coin, and bars, circulating out there. It’s gotten risky. Silver, not so much… yet.
Just another sample: the G7 meeting… a Monty Python parody wouldn’t seem more crazy… Oh my son, may you grow up stupid and ignorant, and, foolish and arrogant culminate as Prime Minister.
In Spanish we have this expression: “De victoria en victoria hasta la derrota final”, translation: from victory to victory until the final defeat. That’s how the whole thing seems to be nowadays in the West.
As somebody that comes from the Spanish speaking world (Argentina) I keep asking myself…..”what the heck is going on with Spain that is playing in the same side of the ones that are occupying GIbraltar or put a gun in Spains head in 1898 ?”
Do we have to send a bunch of good Psychologists ….we have many ;)… to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Madrid to help them understand what is going on here?
Oh man! The entire government structure and political system would need a legion of psychologists. In short, they are minions of the empire. The same as the French, the Italians or the Germans. As imperialists that they were, if they are not now in command themselves, they prefer to be subjugated and play the same dirty game.
Elements of the Nazi extreme right who fled after World War II had a good refuge in Spain, and today, the most flowery of the Latin American extreme right also has connections with Madrid, as well as with Miami.
Regarding Latin America, in general, in Spain they look at it with paternalism, if not with contempt. How many misdeeds do Spanish multinationals do in Latin America? Countless.
All in all, a sad story of shame… But all this is beside the point here.
Lo que pasa en España es lo mismo que.pasa en el resto de Europa.La podredumbre absoluta de los gobernantes,te suena de algo amigo argentino??
Si, claro que me suena. Pero se equivoca al tomarlo como algo personal.
Me gustaria ver a Espania mas cercana a Latinoamerica y pegandole un cachetazo a los Anglosajones como hizo ayer Argentina cuando pidio el ingreso a los BRICS.
Entre Australia y Europa, Inglaterra elige Australia. Entre Latinoamerica y Europa, tengo la impresion (me puedo estar equivocando) que Espania elige Europa.
Espania tiene un asset que no tiene ningun otro pais del planeta (unica excepcion quizas Inglaterra) y es tener 500 millones de personas que hablan un mismo idioma y en mayor o menor medida, una cultural similar. Pero esta elegiendo estar en el lado equivocado de la historia.Lamentablemente y MUY A MI PESAR. Espero estar errado.
Por Dios hombre,no me lo tomo como algo personal,solo me entristece ver como mi país se ha ido por el sumidero de la historia.Supongo que es el Karma.Efectivamente,mi esperanza reside en una unión con Latinoamérica,y el resto de la zona B.De lo contrario me temo que nos espera un largo y escabroso camino del infierno al paraíso que diría Milton.Ojalá al imperio se le escape Argentina de las manos pero viendo lo visto lo dudo.Suerte amigo argentino.
The US want the europeans to go at war with Russia, they want India, Japan, Australia, South Korea and Taiwan to go at war with China. They want to attend a circus’s game where others are killing themselves using weapons provided by them. They do not want to be involved in a war where their country could be hit and destroyed as what they have done to many others. They might enter war if Russia or China would have been weakened enough like they did before in 1917 and 1942
That’s their plan and they think that nobody has figured it out XD.
I often read comments that “Russia should do this”… or “Russia must do that”. etc. This always seems highly demonstrative and very much like “signalling”, too me Surely it is up to Russia and the Russian people what it does? For us in the West, our responsibility and what we “must do” is ensure that it is not an “Empire of Lies” that we live in!
Can we get an early life check on the “specific sub group”? Good video but his best content today was his Twitter take down of the Dreizin grifter
I have more trouble loading Gonzalo’s videos (on an iPhone) than anyone else’s. Very slow start and lots of stops to load more. I don’t know if he puts them out in ultra high definition or what. I wait, since I think it’s worth it, but it’s a fair amount of extra time gone.

We highly recommend reading Veghi’s article about what is really going on.
While Gonzalo Lira looks at the the much smaller picture, Veghi is similar to what Dr. Hudson writes about.
In essence, the Ukraine matter is a side show, while a more dangerous movement has been undertaken by the powers within the US Hegemon and its capitalist system. *It* is in trouble and its their actions that are being felt by everyone, save for the Super Wealthy.

America will fight itself ,the crazies will attack the base of us society riot on the streets possibly burn the supreme court to the ground / kill judges , declare a emergency and put troops in the ground , cancel elections , thats what’s coming .
No need to SINK a carrier, just get a fire going on the flight deck. End of capability. Check out Nimitz crash, May 81. I was there, we were down for a couple of weeks. In a real war, getting back to sea in two weeks isn’t good enough. The US is done in these venues. F35 is shit, carriers are shit, it’s just SO over. Our C4ISR is also shit over there. How many months do you need to read Martyanov, Larry and the Saker’s guys to understand this stuff? Larry? Marty? Where am I wrong here?
You’re not wrong, just to many System Pigs at the trough. By far, one of Gonzalo’s best vids, was the System Pig vid. I don’t know if it still exists to watch, but I believe, (he’d know), was he got lifted shortly after that vid, it was like a stake through the neocons hearts.
Now I notice he hasn’t gone there for a while maybe he still does, wouldn’t surprise me if that is a ‘no no’ area for discussion.
Cheers M
I’d nominate the System Pigs vid as being in the Best Reality Based Short Documentary category. It wins hands down.
Sunset military/security industry is since long adjusted for maximum profit: horrendously overpriced junk in limited quantities. Long gone is the industrial powerhouse of WW2, which could have competed if kept intact (for profits sake it’s now in China/India, etc).
The rotten pindo political system is greased by the bribes from the perpetuators of the biggest scam in history, which get huge amounts of tax payer money. The system could be kept ongoing as long as the pindo’s masters could bled the whole world dry by printing dollars, out of thin air, as the world’s reserve currency.
There is no pindo mighty army without forcing the dollar down the world’s throat.
GL I would counter your argument half funny, half serious. The US has lost (eventually) every war it has started since 1945. (except Grenada) They’ve had plenty of experience in shrugging their shoulders and saying, nothing to do with us as they walk away. They might yet just walk away, feeling very butt hurt but pretending nothing happened. Hopefully. Or we’re all toast.
USA is already just a great power among 3. Not a bad place to be.
But the progressive economies PEs(Russia, PRC, Iran, et al) are not fighting the USA. THEY are fighting the regressive economies, ie the Userers, the City of London. When you make that substitution, the analysis makes more sense. USA, British Empire, Israel, etc are just sub”projects” of the “City”. That explains the Liberty attack. At that time the Israel project took precedence over the US imperialism project.
The PEs cannot stop until they eliminate the other RE system and the political class behind it. And the people of the USA must join that fight.
Russia, Keep going til ya get to Windsor Castle.
Read Matt Ehret and Cynthia Chung. Their opinion pieces and research clarify and support this perspective.
Gonzalo apparently is not aware of the 2002 Millenium War Games in which the blue team (the US ) was handed an immediate and resounding defeat – with its entire invasion fleet sunk – by red team (Iran).
An no, Iran is NOT afraid of the US. Quite the opposite, in fact. Thus the virtual paralysis over Iran in the west.
I do hope Gonzalo returns to sitreps and focusing on local news and events – the kind of on-the-ground commentary that is difficult to get.
My heartfelt sympathies, kidding, my body waste goes out to them CIA and Neocon boys & girls who have gone from Operation Wet Steroid Dream to Operation Save Face/Arse, in 4 short months, having had 14 years at least since 2008 to plan its violent putsch in Ukraine.
Are they totally stupid or just incredulously underestimated Russia’s SMO/operational capabilities and desire.
I guess it’s the former. The current Western leadership has forsaken any right to lead.
Maybe a little of both. Whether overestimating themselves or underestimating the Russian Forces and Intel, they started tripping over each other getting to msm’s ‘fake news’ podium. Either way, hard to say which is their bigger mistake.
They’re not saving face, they are tripling-down on doubling-down.
Leadership by force, blackmail, subterfuge, etc. is not leadership. Real leadership influences by inspiration.
It is just about Greater Israel, Syria pay back.Nothing to do with nato, G7 etc…
Personal zio vendetta of straussians jews like Nuland Kagan, Blinken and co…
The real orders don’t come from Washington, but from London which is messenger of Tel Aviv.
City of London created Israel fake entity via two World wars pretexts for this very creation (balfour 14-18 and
‘shoah’ 39-45).
Without these two european butcheries there will be no Israel at all.
WWIII is to get rid of Russia for two reasons:
Russia made their Syrian war fail at 50%, Assad is still there, though no greater zio possible, though no war with Iran they hate as much as Russia(or very risky).
And second reason these kaganists really believe, as former khazars fake jews (today knowned as Azkenazes)
that as they came from Russian caucasus, they simply own Russia and Ukraine as well(which is the same country
anyway except Galicia).
They are owners of all Russian natural ressources, it was supposed to be Crimea which would have become Israel.
They don’t care about China, pure commercial rivalry but no religious fanatic fight, no more.
80 millions US Evangelists also zio (usefull idiots) and 18 millions jews are awaiting armagedon, then rapture, their fake Messiah will finaly land (with lot of delay) , Jerusalem will be capital of the World after all Christians and muslims have killed each other during a nuclear war, every jew will receive ‘x’ number of slaves and supposely peace will reign on a new world order.(Talmud and Torah).
They will sacrifice Europe and even the US(not all)if necessary, these mad people are religious ideologues you can not look for any sanity from them.
This the fight of their life, they have been waiting for centuries.They failed multiple times via their usefull idiots (Napoleon, Hitler..) they bet on both but it did not work.
London is always behind not very far, look at Bojo is the leading warmonger, all false flags come from MI6 Foreign office(azov, white helmets, bellingcat, skripal, navalny, MH 17, fake chem ghouta attacks etc etc..and Maidan of course with cia help).
Cia is junior partner only of the UK junta, but not decision maker.
There are many more UK special forces today in Ukraine than US.They safeguard zelensky, this is why bojo has been several times in Kiev to tell zelensky : no peace guy, kill all ukrainians if necessary, we will exfiltrate you when necessary.In full opposition of EU Macron, Draghi, Sholtz visit the day before to force zelensky to capitulate in some form.
EU ‘leaders’ have zero power, Tel Aviv and London are running the show whatever the cost, Washington deep State just provide money and weapons.
They don’t care they can print money out of thin air for years for the ukrops, problem soon there will be no more ukrops to fight what will then UK Israel do?
US + UK + EU + JAPAN are bankrupted under dozen of trillions of debts and quadrillions of fake derivatives, only WWIII can delete the all ponzi.
It happened several times in the past, in the middle age it was even called jubilee, but problem jubilee is not possible anymore in 2022 except with a cataclysmic pretext, like millions of deads.
Roughly, here’s how I see things playing out in the short (or long) term.
NATO moves into Lithuania.
Joe Biden bans Russian roubles. The US sanctions Russian roubles. The EU uses the ban as a way to not have to pay for Russian natural gas, oil, coal, minerals and rare earths — at all.
Russia shuts down everything to the “unfriendly countries.”
NATO moves into Kaliningrad.
Europe begins to collapse in all ways possible — financially, economically, agriculturally, the works.
Russia conquers all of the Ukraine.
The US, the UK, the EU, Europe, and NATO invade Russia via the Ukraine. They justify invasion of Russia via the Ukraine as “saving the world for democracy.”
Meanwhile winter is coming. The West has to have that Russian natural gas, oil, coal, minerals and rare earths.
Somebody forgets to remind the West about Russian Winters. The troops on both sides stay warm with tactical nukes.
Both sides find out why atomic weapons are not used on the battlefield.

Interesting scenario you’ve imagined, blame-e. Could be. Could be.
Me? I see the billionaires transferring their $$$billions to Russia once it becomes clear that Russia is going to win in Ukraine. Flooding it really. Consequently things in the West will worsen in direct proportion to things in Russia rising.
We’ll know within a year.

America in particular has a fanatical belief in its God-given right to rule the world because it’s the “Shining City on the Hill” and “Beacon of Liberty”–or so it deludes itself.
As such, Americans will not tolerate any multipolar world and seek to destroy and subvert this deveopment by any means necessary–including the use of Weapons of Mass Destruction, not only nuclear but also biological weapons.
The Americans are exactly like their Zionist brethren.
They both have a Sampson Complex.
If America can’t rule the world, it will take the world down with it.
Yes, they are truly that sick.
Official US Policy: We Can ‘Win’ a Nuclear War

Hahaha! I asked you to edit my original comment that I thought had become messed up…but that if you did not wat to it was fine. In which case you would have had to toss my edited copy leaving up the original as it was.
looks like you tossed them both! Not a problem man. This is not important stuff! If I comment again I will be precise, on top and do good english all the way
all the best…Ben Carson
Hi Ben,I did edit it and repost the comment. I think you just missed it. It won’t be in the same spot as the other one,it will be further along the thread,MOD
Iranians have Sunburns SSNs.
Supersonic and evasive.
Carrier killers.
At what point do the crazies that set war policy in the “Combined West” recognize totally the futility of trying to fight Russia “conventionally” and “release the Kraken” of nuclear weapons?
You know there are nodes of nuts in the “warfighting” cadre that are asking that question the raucous old harpy, Madeline Albright asked:
“ What’s the point of having this superb military if you can’t use it?”
All those tactical and strategic nuclear weapons just lying around, getting older and less robust, expensive to maintain — what will be the moment when the forking insane Fokkers who unilaterally “set policy” say to themselves, the Rooskies are massing forces over here — one little dial-a-yield nuke can take them all out? These Fokkers are totally unaccountable, to us mopes who will be incinerated and irradiated in the event, for such decisions, and it looks like the whole political/military structure is slowly getting to that point of collective insanity that will resort to Armageddon rather than continue to be embarrassed by their own failures,
Gonzolo is thinking like a rational person when he says the US has concluded it can’t beat Russia, and wants no part of that. That’s what a rational person would conclude. The problem is, Washington isn’t rational, and hasn’t been in a long time. Even now, they are deploying additional military assets to Europe. It’s obvious they are not going to let this just go to Russia without going all in. If they can’t provoke Russia into attacking Lithuania, Poland or Finland, they will stage a “false flag” {Chemical weapons use seems to be their favorite excuse, like they did with Saddam Hussein}. On the subject of aircraft carriers, let me tell you from experience. I am an old submariner, we used to have a saying: “There are only two types of ships: Submarines and targets!” Carriers throw off a HUGE sonar signature that is impossible to hide. The US has not fought against a nation with a modern navy since WW2. This will be an embarrassment to the Pentagon. The Russian navy has the world’s largest submarine fleet in the world, and it is first rate. By and large, surface ships are obsolete in 21st century naval warfare. The Russians understand this, and have for years. Not the US though. They still pour money {that they don’t have} into super carrier development because the MIC loves the money, and NOTHING is as costly as a super carrier. Plenty of kick-backs to the crooked politicians too, the money is easily hidden in the cost of one or more.
