Neocons and all the west have brilliant brainwashing propaganda that pushes that they are exceptional and essential in the world… and they brainwash themselves – completely ignoring reality.
You can ignore reality, but you can not ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.

Medvedev: “World teetering on brink of World War III . . . Nuclear Catastrophe”
Russia’s former president and current deputy chair of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev wrote a lengthy article for Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper, in which he summarized his thoughts on how the year 2022 has changed the world order forever.
“The only thing that stops our enemies today is the understanding that Russia will be guided by [the doctrine] on nuclear deterrence. And if there is a real threat, we will act,” Medvedev wrote in his article published on Sunday night – noting that in such a grim scenario there will be nobody left to argue about whether that was “a retaliatory strike or a preventive one.”
“Therefore, the Western world is balancing between a burning desire to maximally humiliate, dismember and destroy Russia, on the one hand, and the desire to avoid a nuclear apocalypse, on the other,” he explained.
Until Russia receives the security guarantees it has demanded, the world “will continue to teeter on the brink of World War III and nuclear catastrophe,” Medvedev wrote, noting that Moscow is doing and will continue to do “everything we can to prevent it.”
Last December, Russia presented a list of security proposals to the US and NATO, among other things urging the West to impose a ban on Ukraine entering the military bloc, while insisting that NATO should retreat to its borders of 1997, before it began to expand.
After the US and NATO flatly refused, saying they would only be interested in limited strategic arms control talks, it became obvious that Moscow has “no one to talk to and nothing to negotiate about” with the West, Medvedev argued. And when in February “Ukrainian junkies announced their desire to revive their nuclear arsenal,” Moscow had no other choice but to act, he added.
“Our world has changed, forever. And the main question remains… what kind of future begins today?” Medvedev wrote.
“New disarmament agreements are currently unrealistic and unnecessary,” the Russian official reiterated. “The sooner the guarantees of maximum security that suit our country are received, the sooner the situation will normalize.”
Earlier this month, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said that Moscow is willing to discuss the subject of security guarantees again, if the West is serious about it, but until then, Russia will continue to respond appropriately to any further NATO expansion. Since the conflict in Ukraine escalated in February, the bloc has moved to welcome Sweden and Finland into its ranks, though the expansion has yet to be finalized.

Who ‘f*cked them up tho? Their handlers of course, CIA/State-MI6-Mossad & Crew blew smoke up their asses, promising ISIS-esque inducements plus all the freedom-fries trappings.
See Col. Macgregor on Redacted with Clayton Morris earlier today.
Thank you Bob. Two comments:
First, this clown does not know the difference between The Hague Convention and the Geneva Convention(s).
(Nobody tell Martyanov. He’ll go craaaazy!)
Second, that’s NOT an American accent. He could be a Brit.
Great article – thanks, Andrei. However, the thesis that people write misleading rubbish because thet are poorly educated and/or lack a technical background is in itself simplistic and misleading. People who are inherently honest will write the truth and if that is politically unacceptable then they will not get published – a complaint made by Dr Jeffrey Sachs who has criticised the West’s position in Ukraine.
Hacks with less integrity will write what they are told to write. Ask yourself, would you trust a lawyer to put a case forward in a balanced and honest fashion?
Neither is having an education in a technical or scientific field an indication of superior competence or honesty – Putin studied economics and Merkel physics. ‘Nuff said.
To get an order of magnitude leap forward in journalistic accuracy and integrity simply (!) criminalise shoddy journalism and B.S., fining the publisher enough to hurt. Until such time, don’t trust the MSM. Any of it.
Here’s an article by “The Nation” when it functioned as a newspaper. It goes into some detail about Jeffrey Sachs and what his pals were doing in Russia during the Yeltsin Years.
If you think that Neo-con has changed his colors since then, you’re quite mistaken. These people never, ever change, or reform their thinking. What they say on tv, or in any Western Media, is the total opposite of what they do “behind the scenes.” Sachs is no different. Once a Neo-con; always a Neo-con. Especially if they come from the same tribe.

I agree with Andrei in general but working trough M Hudson’s latest book I am struck by the west’s calculation of GDP that counts rents as “positive” ignoring that they reduce access to capital for useful purposes. I think he suggests that the best and the brightest miscalculate the size and certainly strength of the Russian economy. Russia is not another Grenada. Delusion and miscalculation are different problems. Thanks Andrei.
Question: Can Russia get commercial cockpit electronics from the west for the new commercial jets via “parallel imports”.
The CIA’s –
Last plane from Saigon
Last plane from Tehran
Last plane from Chechnya
Last plane from Kabul
Last plane from Kiev/Lvov
CIA-5Eye foreign adventures/soirees in between those above (Georgia, Syria, Stan’s) leaves the distinct impression that Russia and Russian sphere’s of influence have been the targets since the CIA set up shop in Lvov area in the 1950’s.
I’m even making myself paranoid that Ed Snowden could possibly be a sleeper. I hope they don’t allow him anywhere near a transmitter lol
Report: The CIA Is Directing Sabotage Attacks Inside Russia
Dave DeCamp
The CIA has been using a European NATO country’s intelligence services to conduct sabotage attacks inside Russia since the February invasion of Ukraine, investigative journalist Jack Murphy reported on Saturday, citing unnamed former US intelligence and military officials.
The report said that no US personnel are on the ground in Russia but that the operations are being directed by the CIA. The US is using an ally’s intelligence services to add an extra layer of plausible deniability, and a former US special operations official told Murphy that layer was a major factor in President Biden signing off on the attacks.
Murphy said he didn’t name the NATO country whose intelligence services were being used in the report because “doing so might endanger the operational security of cells that are still operational inside of Russia.”
The report appeared on Murphy’s personal website, and in a note at the end of the piece, he explained why it wasn’t published by a media outlet. “While working with editors at mainstream publications I was asked to do things that were illegal and unethical in one instance, and in another instance I felt that a senior CIA official was able to edit my article by making off the record statements, before he leaked a story to The New York Times to undermine this piece,” he wrote.
According to the report, the covert campaign inside Russia has been years in the making. Two former military officials said that the NATO country’s spy services had hidden a cache of explosives and equipment in Russia more than a decade ago, and some of the gear has been used recently.
A former US special operations official and US person briefed on the campaign said that the CIA didn’t get involved with the NATO country’s operations inside Russia until 2014. The first time sleeper cells entered Russia that were directed by both the CIA and the NATO ally’s spy service was in 2016, and more entered the country in the following years.
The NATO ally provided the undercover operatives with stories to explain their presence in Russia and documents to back them up. The report said that around the time Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, the NATO ally’s spy service activated its sleeper cells inside Russia using covert communication, and they were ready for orders on what targets to strike.
It’s not clear how many attacks the sleeper cells have been responsible for, but there has been a series of mysterious explosions at Russian military facilities, powerplants, and railways since the invasion. The report suggested that the saboteurs could have been behind an April fire at the research institute of Russia’s Aerospace Defense Forces, which killed over 20 people.
The sabotage operations that the CIA is overseeing require a presidential finding. President Obama signed a finding before he left office that allowed covert action against Russia over allegations that Moscow interfered in the 2016 election, a claim that has never been proven.
According to The Washington Post, Obama’s finding allows “planting cyberweapons in Russia’s infrastructure, the digital equivalent of bombs that could be detonated if the United States found itself in an escalating exchange with Moscow.” Murphy cited a former CIA official who said the finding also allowed sabotage operations against Russia, although other former officials he spoke with said the current operations would have required an amendment or an entirely new finding.
A CIA spokesperson denied the allegations made in the report, but Murphy pointed out that the spy agency can legally deny the existence of its covert operations.
The CIA directing sabotage inside Russia risks a major escalation between NATO and Russia and could lead to a nuclear escalation. Ukraine has recently stepped up its own attacks inside Russian territory, and according to The Times, the Pentagon tacitly endorsed recent drone strikes that hit air bases deep inside Russian territory, adding to the risk of escalation.
In his note at the end of the report, Murphy said that he published the story to inform the public. “Indeed, the Russian government knows perfectly well who is sponsoring these sabotage strikes. Moreover, the intelligence community wants them to know. The only party left in the dark is the public at large, left unaware of the shadow war taking place behind the scenes,” he wrote.
Murphy said that the article “went through a vigorous fact-checking process, and was deemed newsworthy as the strategic bombings of Laos and Cambodia or the CIA’s secret drone campaign in Pakistan.”
I’m sure Russia has sleeper cells also – Hope they go to work soon & hit where it hurts !
We always appreciate Andrei’s observations.
However, let’s go back to the original intent of what the US Financial/Military Hegemon is up to. Why is it, presently, focusing on Russia, via Ukraine? What has caused EU/UK politicians and EU bureaucrats to do a 180 degree pivot by lambasting Russia and President Putin?
You’re thoughts?
