The Russians are openly expressing their absolute amazement at the utter stupidity of the West. Three examples:
A recent article by Medvedev:
Dmitry Medvedev: Why contacts with the current Ukrainian leadership are meaningless
Putin’s speech at the recent energy forum in Russia:
Russian President Vladimir Putin: Speech at Russian Energy Week (REW) international forum
and then there is this photo of Putin tapping his forehead in the sign “have you gone totally insane?”
Shall I even bother to list what caused such reactions?
The self-imposed energy crisis in which the EU is BOTH trying to delay/stop NS2 while AT THE SAME TIME demanding that Russia increase her energy output?
As for the Ukrainiane, the Putin just offered them, again, not for $1500/cubic meters but for $175. But this US vassal state proudly rejects any such offers.
The fact that Uncle Shmuel promised his “molecules of freedom” to the EU but is now selling these molecules to Asia (which has the means to pay much more). Yet the EU remains as subservient to the USA as ever…
Or the fact that the entire, united, consolidated western media accuses Russia of creating the crisis while, in reality, not only did Russia fulfill all her contractual obligations but even INCREASED (by 10% if I remember correctly) her sales above her contractual obligations? Putin repeated many times “tell us what you need, give us a contract to sign and we will deliver whatever you need!”
Then the there Victoria “fuck the EU” Nuland who, apparently, demanded that the Russian unilaterally lift Russian counter-sanctions while the US would not.
Here is how the western elites seem to be “thinking” (I am being generous here).
- We accuse Russia of everything and anything
- Then these Russian bastards have the nerve to demand evidence
- We accuse them some more
- And then these Russian bastards have the nerve to refer to facts
- Then we tell them that we will sanction them
- And then these Russian bastards have the nerve to counter-sanction us
- Then we engage in military exercises right along the Russian border
- And then these Russian bastards have the nerve to engage in military exercise also right along the Russian border
- Then, to try scare them to “negotiate from a position of strength” with our empty words about being invincible
- And then these Russian bastards design and deploy weapons systems we can only dream about
- Then we tell the Russian we want them to remain neutral while we deal with the “Chinese threat” (to whom?)
- And then these Russian bastards laugh their heads off
I will stop here, but I want to stress that Putin and plenty of Russian analysts are saying: the consolidated West is so totally out of touch with reality that it is, in essence, committing suicide. Putin and others have also said the following many times already: “we don’t need to do anything, nothing, just watch how the West self-destructs“.
About the Ukraine: please read Medvedev’s article carefully. Some say that it was not written by him, but by Putin. The most likely explanation is that this text was prepared, vetted and approved by the Security Council of the Russian Federation (where Medvedev hold the position of Deputy Chairman) and that the reason why Medvedev signed it was diplomacy: he could be much more direct than President Putin, but you can be sure that this articles does express Putin’s point of view.
The Russians are now openly calling the Ukraine a vassal state of the USA and say that it makes no sense to talk to the Ukies, only to their masters, hence the visit of Nuland to Russia.
The Russians are not (yet?) officially openly calling the entire EU a vassal state of the USA, but they are strongly suggesting it.
So from the Russian’s point of view, only the USA retains at least some agency and is, therefore, worth talking to.
Yet the pre-2021 USA is dead and gone.
What’s left is a deeply dysfunctional society where the ruling elites seem to care only about gender fluidity and tranny rights, body positivity, Woke ideology, “inclusive mathematics” and even a homosexual Superman (which ought to then be renamed “superperson” I suppose!). Still, the Russians will still talk to this wannabe Wakanda entity, if only because the latter still has nukes (and quite a lot of momentum left, even dead) left, but they don’t feel ANY need to take it very seriously or do much about it.
As I have written many times before, Russia’s future in not in the West, but in the South (Central Asia, Middle-East), East (China) and North (Arctic).
As for the insane asylum called “Europe”, the Russians will let “general Winter” deal with them and try to bring them from “its multicultural lala land” and the worship of Greta Thunberg back to reality.
Hope dies last I suppose…
I will end with a personal anecdote. While studying at the School of International Service (SIS) at the American University I had an absolutely fantastic teacher, a former Naval intel guy of Polish origin. His lessons were absolutely superb, each time. One day, we did something really interesting (and fun!): for half of the class we read letter of WWII German officers serving on the Eastern Front in the early phases of the invasion: they were full of the usual stuff about Russian subhumans getting their asses kicked by the “culture-carrying master race” (Kulturträger Herrenvolk). In the second half of the class, we also read letter written by German officers, but after Stalingrad in which they were actually calling Russian quasi-superhumans. The contrast was absolutely amazing.
Nothing sobers up somebody drunk on ideology as a brutal confrontation with a reality which cannot be denied.
The same happened to the French, by the way. The Russian word shval’ (шваль) roughly means scum/trash/worthless comes from the French word “cheval”, meaning horse. Can you guess why? Because the retreating French had to use their dead horses for food! For details, I HIGHLY recommend this book “Les Cahiers du capitaine Coignet” – these are the diary notes of Jean-Roch Coignet, who participated in all the Napoleonic wars. It is a fascinating read and an eye opener on how a French solider lived through all these years.
I can just imagine how the current mass insanity in the West will go down in history books. Maybe as the dumbest and most incredible self-destruction in history?
Andrei
“…a homosexual Superman (which ought to then be renamed “superperson” I suppose!”
Nah. Supertran.
At least the Russians know which toilet to use.
The West has long been plumbing the depths of insanity. Feels like Sodom and Gomorrah … before the meteorite.
Ohh come on Oliver.. Look at the big achievement President J F Kennedy & Barack Obama did ??
President Kennedy put a man on the moon ..
President Obama put a man in to woman’s toilets …
Isn’t that big achievements ??
I think it is well established by now that the Americans did NOT go to the moon back in the late 60’s as claimed. there are many articles on the net demonstrating that. Look up Buz Aldrin admits that “We never went to the moon” and yet here we go again pretending or falsely claiming that we (The USA) did. Not sure about these days but certainly not in the late 60’s.
Buzz Aldrin certainly does not say the USA didn’t go to the moon – and has physically attacked several people who have said it to his face!
singing “Breakfast in America” :)
Not a song but an agonizing and angry chorus of 60 Million unvaxxed Americans – we have become refugees in our own Nation.
The suicide of America is by design. The fake KhazarJew supported by the existentialist goyims like Gates and Fauci et al. are working in overdrive to decompose America from within to bring about paxJudieca in 2030.
I am a Covid survivor; this is my story.
I am a software engineer working for a fortune 50 company. Despite being headquartered in Texas, I am in real danger of losing my job by the end of October due to the vaccine mandate. The media is spreading fear that there will not be any unemployment benefits for employees fired in breach of vaccine mandate. How ironical – our half dead president is celebrating our job losses. No employer in future may hire us for getting fired for defying the vaccine mandate. We am in tremendous pressure from vaxxed friends and family to get the jab (but they too are in despair knowing that their kids vax mandate is around the corner).
What does this mean?? Tens of thousands of Americans have already been fired from their jobs – never in our wildest imagination we fathomed such an hour can draw upon America. despite being highly qualified and experienced we cannot find work in our own country? We cannot feed our kids; make our mortgage payments; we are in real danger of becoming homeless. This is worse than than the Jews under the Pharaohs – at least they had jobs to build the pyramids.
What type of shock will this bring upon the economy when 60 Million Americans are permanently forced out of employment? Many of us are asking the question where can we go beyond the Globalists’ reach – Russia, North Korea or Afghanistan? America suddenly feels like the land of the cowards and home of the enslaved – or is it? When they come to take our children then reignites the struggle where Robert Lee left off; there will be one key difference this time – Whites and Blacks and Asians and Latin Americans and unvaxed Military and unvaxed Police and unvaxed Firefighters and unvaxed Nurses will all be fighting on the same side…..
I am not sure that Texas will permit anyone to look at their vaccination records to determine whether or not you have have actually been vaccinated. Therefore, I would recommend that you “pretend” that you have been vaccinated. As a software engineer this should be quite simplistic for you to prove.
This guy’s gotta be an American.
In any case, in considering these addresses, I often chuckle to myself and shake my head when I try to conjure up a picture of one Putins American counterparts up there in his place.
I suggest “SuperWoke”.😂😂😂
It would be good to read The Saker’s piece here with Andrei Martyanov
He quotes from Putin’s speech at the Russian energy week and Mr Putin is not sparing the words here:
“Sometimes you listen to what is being said about this, and you are surprised, it’s just amazing, as if they don’t see the numbers – I’ll say more about this – they don’t see the reality, they just cover up their own mistakes. ”

thanks Amarynth!
Andrei aced it.
The Russian word shval’ (шваль) roughly means scum/trash/worthless comes from the French word “cheval”, meaning horse. Can you guess why? Because the retreating French had to use their dead horses for food!
Nice. The English word that comes from “cheval” is chivalry. Chevalerie in French. Quite ironic.
The Russian word “shantrapa”–шантрапа–means something like a motley crew.
It comes from a Napoleonic-era French officer captured and forced to teach Russian peasants to sing.
Those who could, “chantre.” Those who couldn’t, “ne chantre pas.”
It’s a futur of the verb “chanter”, to sing. “Chantre” is somebody singing at the church.
“Tu ne chanteras pas” means “you will not sing”, the final s being not pronounced.
Tu chanteras means “You will sing”.
Tu ne chanteras pas means “You will not sing”.
Pronounced rapidly, it comes phoneticly : chantra, chantrapa.
Very funny story I didn’t know about anyway. I didn’t find the word in my (small) french russian dictionary.
Hey, a comment on the origin of the шантрапа word from a French speaker. It comes from “je n’entre pas”, I do not enter… pronounced effectively as “jentrepa”. Weak, famished, stinky French soldiers turned into beggars used to say this to avoid being chased away by Russian peasants, when knocking at their doors in hope of getting a slice of bread. The Russians were so turned off by them that they coined such a term for any lousy, sleezy, despicable creature. I myself do like the French however, a more modern version of them
I guess the 19t-20th century shoeshine boys in Naples collectively called scientrapa (who were damn poor and ever ready for any sort of petty criminal shenanigans) sounds exactly like the Russian шантрапа and is very fitting in meaning.
Is the how the French culinary habit of raw horse meat originated? Perhaps because there was no ready fires or such during the retreat?
No, french culinary habit of raw horse meat origin from french presence between polish hulan units during their fights in what is today Belarus, Ukraine and northern Russia. Hulans were fighting caste of polish cavalery originated from Tatars and Mongols settled down in area between Baltic and west Ukraine since 15-16th century. French officers, surveyors, map makers etc. were often hired by Poles to accompany hulan units on their raids as scribes, map makers etc. and during that they saw hulan commons to “store” stripes of raw meat under saddle from where raider could eat it right on the horse so unit doesnt need to stop. After their come back to France, they bringed these commons with them.
It certainly originates with the ‘Scythians’. It was what is called ‘pastrami'<Turk 'pastirma'<'bastırma et'= "pressed meat."
French don’t eat raw meat beside a certain type of steak meat.
And this dish is eaten so rarely as to be totally irrelevant.
BTW horse meat is absolutely top.

Russian Energy Week International Forum plenary session
…
Headley Gamble:
Mr President, in your remarks, you just were mentioning about what is happening in the gas crisis. I think it would be really interesting to pick up on that. You mentioned blame-shifting; you talked about hollow political motives. So much has been said and so much has been written in recent weeks about what has been happening, and I want to ask you about it directly. Has Russia been using energy as a weapon?
Vladimir Putin: Russia is not using any weapons at all, if you have noticed. With regard to the economy, where would we be using weapons? What conflicts are we participating in? This is absolutely out of the question when it comes to the economy. Even during the most complicated Cold War periods, Russia fully complied with its contractual obligations and supplied gas to Europe. …
The weaponising of energy is nothing but politically-driven and entirely groundless bloviation.
…
We are increasing supplies to Europe even amid today’s conditions that are challenging for us. Gazprom has increased gas supplies to Europe by about 10 percent, and gas supplies to Europe have increased by about 15 percent including LNG, because LNG has increased to about 13–14 percent. We are ready to keep doing so. Importantly, our companies have never, not once, refused to meet our partners’ requests to increase supplies. Even during the challenging autumn-winter periods in recent years, when our partners asked us to increase supplies even in excess of our contractual obligations, we have always done so and are doing so now. We supply as much gas as our partners ask for.
I would also like to draw your attention to another circumstance, where supplies of, say, US LNG went from Europe to Asia when prices changed accordingly. Of the total shortage of LNG supplies to the European market, which is over 14 billion cubic metres in terms of LNG, about half had been undersupplied by US companies.
So, who is weaponising energy? Is it us or someone else? We are increasing our supplies to Europe, and our partners from other countries, including the United States, are decreasing supplies to Europe. This is open information. All you need to do is go online and see for yourself, everything is there. And you are talking about Russia being accused of weaponising energy resources. This is complete nonsense and politically-driven chatter, which has no substance behind it. This is how things are in general.
Hadley Gamble: When the European benchmark, though, is up nearly 600 percent for the year… It has taken several months to get to this point, several weeks of a price surge globally. I mean, at the end of the day, I guess the question is how can you expect Europe to believe you are a reliable energy partner when you are not supplying that energy via the pipeline?
Vladimir Putin: A beautiful woman, pretty. I say one thing, and she responds with something entirely different. As if she did not hear what I said. I will tell you one more time now.
Hadley Gamble: Mr President, I heard you.
Vladimir Putin: Listen, you just said: you are not supplying gas to Europe via gas pipelines. You are being misled. You and everyone else who uses information from such sources. We are increasing deliveries to Europe; Gazprom has upped supplies by 10 percent, and in general, Russia has increased supplies to Europe by 15 percent. Pipeline gas is up by 10 percent, and LNG, up to 13 percent. We are increasing, not reducing deliveries. But other suppliers have cut deliveries by 14 billion cubic metres. US suppliers account for half of the cuts.
Did I say something you did not catch? Did you hear me? We are increasing deliveries. And if we are asked to increase further, we are ready to increase deliveries further. We are increasing by as much as our partners ask. We have not denied a single request, not a single one, and we are increasing supplies to Turkey, via Blue Stream and TurkStream; we are increasing supplies to the Balkans – they have been redirected through TurkStream now, but we are increasing deliveries via the existing routes as well. We have even increased supplies through the Ukrainian gas transportation system. This year’s increase of supplies through the Ukrainian gas transportation system, in excess of our contractual obligations for transit, will be approximately 10 percent. We cannot increase it any more. Everyone is hinting we should increase supplies even more via Ukraine. But it is dangerous because the GTS has not been repaired for decades in Ukraine. It can burst if you increase the pressure, and Europe will lose this route completely. About 80 percent of the equipment is obsolete, over 80 percent. Nobody wants to listen or hear anything. Everyone is just determined to blame Russia.
…
Please add a comment when you post a link or an excerpt.
Thank you!
Andrei
Andrey, to me, it is self explanatory. Talking to those that are not capable of listening and understanding is futile. You know what they say “Which part of ‘we have increased gas supply by 10% ‘ she did not understand. Hilarious. Thank you for the link.
Sorry, but in these modern times I am considered illiterate.
Only thanks to the “automaton” – concretely deepl.com/Translator, which still provides the best results (German – English, or Russian) , I dare to “join in” here.
By the way, highly recommended on the topic “V. Nuland in Moscow”, but in Russian:
https://www.fondsk.ru/news/2021/10/14/viktoria-nuland-ostavila-ukrainu-bez-pechenja-i-varenja-54675.html
“Виктория Нуланд оставила Украину без печенья и варенья
В отношениях с Соединёнными Штатами Украина достигла потолка”
Victoria Nuland left Ukraine without cookies and jam
Ukraine has reached a ceiling in relations with the United States
https://www.fondsk.ru/news/2021/10/14/i-zachem-ty-nuland-v-gosti-naprosilas-54674.html
“И зачем ты, Нуланд, в гости напросилась?
Надежды на то, что Россия подыграет Соединённым Штатам ради американских интересов на Украине, развеяны”
And why did you, Nuland, ask for a visit?
Hopes that Russia would play along with the United States for the sake of American interests in Ukraine have been dashed.
To Humml
This Hadley Gamble thing/creature is the prime example of what Russians have to deal with! My heart goes out to Putin, Lavrov and the rest of them who have to interract constantly with this human trash, with s..t for brains – from EU, USA, etc. This is today’s reality of the total degeneration of what used to be called “western civilization”..
It is indeed a “stinking rotten corpse”.
I’m surprised VVP made no mention of Russian exports of crude to USA.
Once again, the Saker’s acute observation of the leadership of my country is painful to read. This sickness permeates from the highest levels of federal and state government down to the local levels of public service.
I just read another unbelievable account of a father whose daughter was raped in a public school’s girls bathroom by a transgender student. The man attended a school board meeting and asked what was being done about the crime. The board responded they did not call the police but decided to handle the incident “internally.” Voices were raised in anger, the sheriff’s department was called and the father was arrested.
See: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/10/12/loudoun-county-virginia-school-board-covered-up-student-rape-and-had-father-of-victim-arrested-to-keep-him-quiet-national-school-board-association-then-labeled-the-father-a-domestic-terrorist/ .
Heartland America is being fractured like a precious gem into worthless glass due to the citizenry not being engaged with the self-serving political system that is hell-bent on its destruction.
The United States is going to geographically break up into regions of commonsense verses the insanity of social egalitarianism that is ruining the economy as well as traditional family and religious values. The young and the old are going to have to move to States which still hold dear those principles if they wish to fight to survive against the influences of the Dark Lord of the Underworld.
My daughter that is 34yo said to me that ‘everything is being burned to the ground’ in the US. It feels the same to me.
There are literally no “common sense” areas in the US. If they’re not infected with Democratic/awoke madness, they’re infected with Republican/Q madness. They’re both crazy. I’ve lived all over this country in rural and urban places, the coasts, the flyover country, every place is completely, totally mad.
America isn’t going to end well for anyone.
Sad to see what has happened to the USA. Your Politicians have abandoned you and now, only look after the “1%”, and have become fabulously rich as a result, while the number of Homeless Americans is extraordinary.
Stop waving the Flag and MAKE your politicians FIX AMERICA.
“Superperson” 😆🤣😂
Thanks for this,Saker!
Mr. Raevski, I believe that you’re very generous towards the western elites – pesonally, I don’t believe that they’re capable of coherent thought .
I fully agree with you, hence the collective insanity we observe today.
Avec toutes les personnes qu ils pouvaient envoyer a Moscou pour negocier avec les russes pourquoi envoyer une ultra neocon comme nuland qui est directement impliquee dans le coup d etat en Ukraine?
Envoyer une telle personne signifie qu aucune negociation n est possible. La question que je me pose est la suivante: ont il envoye nuland parce qu ils sont totalement debiles ou l ont ils envoyee dans le but de demarrer une nouvelle escalade des tensions?
Parce que ils refusent d’accepter la réalité. Ils veulent “humilier” les russes en les “forçant” à parler avec la même Nuland qui distribuait des pirogis durant le Maidan.
Et, surtout, ils sont trop stupides pour ce rendre compte que les russe en ont absolument rien a faire ni de Mme Nuland ni même des Etats-Unis suicidaires.
Mais, surtout, in n’y a plus de “politique” ricaine, juste des gesticulations sans aucun intérêt.
Amitiés
Andrei
It reminds me of when the UN sent special envoy Kurt Waldheim to quiet the unrest in Yugoslavia.
Someone with experience in quelling Balkan tensions!
Très bonne questions Laurent!
It is astonishing to me too, that the US would send a persona non grata like Nuland, to the meet with officials in Russia.
As you point out, it makes one wonder what the whole purpose of her trip was…
The whole purpose of her trip is a manifestation of ‘chutzpah’=Yiddish חוצפּה (ḥuṣpâ), from Mishnaic Hebrew חוֹצְפָּה (ḥôṣǝpâ), from חָצַף (ḥāṣap, “to be insolent”). Ultimately from Aramaic חֲצִיפָא (ḥăṣîpāʾ), חֲצַף (ḥaṣap, “to be barefaced, insolent”). Leo Rosten, Jewish-American humorist, defines it as: “gall, brazen nerve, effrontery, incredible ‘guts’, presumption plus arrogance such as no other word and no other language can do justice to”, “that quality enshrined in a man who, having killed his mother and father, throws himself on the mercy of the court because he is an orphan.”
@Serbian girl
“…it makes one wonder what the whole purpose of her trip was…”
First that comes to mind is: simple, unexplainable provocation.
The other reason could be that Someone is greatly disappointed with lack of expected results, and resort to the person of trust, not of competence.
Pyre hubris, supported by nothing.
@Laurent
Cette garce adorable a été envoyée au Kremlin dans le très simple but de “clarification”:
On vous hait visceralement. Si vous n’étiez pas sûrs — en voici la preuve
Tant pis que la Russie ne s’effondrera pas malgré toute sa colère spectaculaire. Cependant, si on pousse un peu la réflexion, accompagnée par notre bon vieux BHL — qui sait?
Les russes ne sont pas furax a cause de Mme Nuland.
Nuland ou une/un autre – même un “trans” à barbe si ils veulent – aucune différence pour les russes.
Tant qu’a faire, ils peuvent envoyer BHL (avec Zemmour pour lui tenir compagnie) la prochaine fois, même résultat :-)
Amitiés
Je vous concede que la Nudelman est une garce. Mais adorable?
Elle est aussi adorable que BHL, mdr. Imaginez-vous la force palpitante de ces deux ’philophes’ s’ils travaillaient ensemble:
google translate .. mod
She is as adorable as BHL, lol. Imagine the thrilling strength of these two ‘philophes’ if they worked together:
Melody: ”Hello lovers” (Joe Dassin)
Vladimir Putin and all the others
Who refuse to bow
Who resist a force like ours
Will lose all their arrogance
Anyway, the Russians, we’ll have them
No Russia will survive
She will come down completely destroyed
And when she sees the two of us pass by
BHL and me happy
Say ‘So get the hell out of here’
We are the most irresistible
Yesterday, today, also tomorrow
And we are also very invincible sages
Two ‘philophes’ who are too strong for the goddamn Kremlin
Ukros and Euro-trash richly deserve each other. Quite fascinating in a sense how anybody could be swooning at the feet of today’s Europe. Takes a Ukronazi to yearn for ‘European values’. I remember my instant reaction after reading Medvedev’s piece the other day. To wit: These Bandernazis might not be entirely in sync with their EU betters — the former might need some coarse introduction to the marvels of gender confusion plus the overall beauty of Anglo-Zionism and its pretentious ‘anti-racism’ — but in each and every aspect of any real significance such as greed, corruption, sleaze, full-on incompetence, and Russophobia they are all but indistinguishable. Still, the Euro-trash won’t have them. Maybe a discreet way of telling them that the highest hopes were placed upon them right before and during the Maidan shitstorm 8 years ago, and what use are Ukronazis to Europe now?
Couldn’t possibly agree more that Russia’s future is not in the West, but in the South (Central Asia, Middle-East), East (China) and North (Arctic). The West is a stinkimg, rotten corpse having the admirers it deserves.
Ukros and Euro-trash richly deserve each other
Agreed. The Ukronazis had their slogan about “the Ukraine is Europe” but now what we see is that “Europe has become the Ukraine”.
I am amazed at the people’s failure to grasp the idea that ‘Russia’s future is not in the West’ is as old as Russia!
The ongoing war between the AngloZionist Empire and Russia has been going on for a long long time, Saker. Probably since Sviatoslav I finally succeeded in destroying Khazar imperial power over what is now the Ukraine back in the 960s. “A visitor to Atil [Khazar capital city] wrote soon after the sacking of the city that its vineyards and garden had been razed, that not a grape or raisin remained in the land, and not even alms for the poor were available.” (Wikipedia)
Victoria “f-uck the EU” Nuland is an Ashkenazi US neocon with a long tribal memory of animosity toward Russia. That she is now in Moscow making crazy demands is just a stage in the process of bringing all of this history to an end in an apocalyptic Zionist Götterdämmerung. This is why the Empire’s wars make no sense. This is why all the US wars of this century have led to financial and moral bankruptcy. The Empire is being taken down by the same folks that Jesus threw out of the Temple back in the day. It will be the end of the USA as we know it, for good or for ill.
I think that the USA as we knew them died in Jan of 2021.
But I also believe that, after a VERY painful transition, something else, a different USA (or even several successors states, possibly a confederation) will eventually re-emerge.
But God help us all with this “transition”….
We are the most dangerous nation on the planet, Saker. Our propensity for taking the rest of humanity with us into that dark night is very real. No other nation acts like this, especially Russia. Yes, may Heaven help us all.
True, but for only two main reasons:
1) Nukes
2) The most brainwashed population on the planet
I have no idea how to defuse this reality, and it also scares me a lot
I will add a third satanic element: Bacterial/germ weapons
That I am afraid is distinct possibility, even likelihood in that ‘transformative process’
The Saker – I think that the USA as we knew them died in Jan of 2021.
Just for clarification. Are you referring to the so called “storming of the Capital” on January 6 or to the inauguration ( installation ) on January 20th of a demented man as President of the United States of America? Or both?
It may finally have died in 2021, but the wound that killed it was inflicted on 22 November 1963 in Dealey Plaza.
Everything that has happened between then and now has been part of the process of a buildup of pus in that body politic.
What we are witnessing now is the putrefication of the corpse.
Then rotting mess will feed the worms and fertilize the ground to allow new growth.
Bingo you hit it on the head that was when they took complete control of the government and the country and look at the trash that followed the murder of JFK and exist until this day.
Anonymous’ question was as loaded as it could get. I’m happy that Saker didn’t take the bait. The last thing we need is more political jockeying between Republicans and Democrats as the USS Titanic slowly sinks below the waves. Both Trump and Biden are playing their parts well as Zionism takes us down.
Remember what Netanyahu said back in 1990, “America is a Golden Calf and we will suck it dry, chop it up, and sell it off piece by piece until there is nothing left but the World’s biggest welfare state that we will create and control.” How right he was.
Yes, that sort of question is a futile exercise in what I would call Pindo-centric navel gazing. But to be of some help here, I also have to say that it misses the plot, literally. It’s not a matter of who’s sitting in the Offal Office. It’s a 100% deliberate, concerted effort led by Open Society Foundation. George Soros knows exactly what he is doing and he also knows that, unlike the Russians and the Chinese, Pindos don’t have what it takes to stop him. They are a lost cause altohether, spouting mindless ”patriotic” tripe learned by rote.
Hey, I wasn’t the one who selected the significant date as January 2021. In my view two events happened in January 2021 which don’t bode well for the nation. Installing a man with clear cognitive decline to be “the leader of the free world” and a bunch of Trump protesters being lured/tricked/goaded ( modern cointelpro? ) to go inside the capital so that they could then be made an example of. Saker was the one who picked January 2021 as the significant date not me, I just wanted to know which event was the lynchpin for him. That’s all.
A loaded question is a form of complex question that contains a controversial assumption. Such questions may be used as a rhetorical tool: the question attempts to limit direct replies to be those that serve the questioner’s agenda. (Wikipedia). That’s most likely why the Saker chose not to answer your question.
Fair enough but just to be clear it’s not about blue team vs read team it’s really about whoever plays on the purple team that is steering the Titanic right into the iceberg. And unfortunately most of us are in steerage with the doors chained shut. And the band plays on.
The Articles of Confederation should never have been traded for a Constitution which placed the power in the hands of an all powerful Federal Government, leaving the states to dangle in the wind.
“This is why all the US wars of this century have led to financial and moral bankruptcy.”
I may be more pessimistic; it seems to me that the financial and moral bankruptcy came first and led to the necessity of fighting those wars, wars we pretty much lost in the usual sense of the term. But winning the wars, in the usual sense, was not really their purpose that was to enrich the military-industrial-banking, …, complex, and in that sense they were all successes.
Couldn’t agree more, Jean. The 9/11 wars were designed to ultimately bankrupt the USA in every sense of the word. When I think back to the days immediately following the attacks, I remember what Barbara Jordan, the only member of congress to vote against invading Afghanistan, said about her lonely vote, “It was a blank check to the president to attack anyone involved in the September 11 events—anywhere, in any country, without regard to our nation’s long-term foreign policy, economic and national security interests, and without time limit.”
How right she was. The plan was to bring down 7 nations in 5 years. The plan was to kill millions of Muslims, all for Israel, the real perp behind the false-flag attacks of 9/11.
Yes indeed — but it was Barbara Lee, not Barbara Jordan. Barbara Jordan was already dead by then.
Thanks for the correction.
You should leave Sviatoslav and the Khazars out of the story and look in the immediate past. Nuland, Kagan and their ilk are all coming from the shtetls of the ‘Pale’ rabidly anti-Russian and anti-Christian, who furnished the manpower for the murderous Cheka/GPU/NKVD.
Sviatoslav was a persecutor of Christians. That’s why he is loved by the ‘Slavic Neopagan’ mountebanks.
Were I not bound to the USA by my (adult) children, I was plead to Russia for asylum on the basis of sanity.
Well what I do not understand is, as far as the US has the dollar printing press and as far more than 75% of world nations do trade using dollars, how can the superiority of US be defeated?
I’m sure different people would have different ideas of how, but here is mine: “Destroy US superiority a little bit at a time, insidiously and steadily as is happening right now.”
Just be patient. It’s happening, and it shalt be done. I trust that my idea is a better alternative to any other that pokes, pricks, and spits on the ugly superior animal, risking that animal’s urge of using nukes, its weapon of last resort.
I have proof of ‘the happening’. I live in this animal kingdom. I see how things evolve around me. I see that they say the animal’s GDP would grow some 6% this year. But I see through the lies; it’s just liars playing with figures. I see that nothing of significance are getting done. What used to take a 15 minute face-to-face interchange between two people to settle, now takes three weeks for them to reach a mere mutual understanding of what is being talked about over the phone or emails, let alone settling nothing. I see that unemployment is still sky high, yet people currently employed are quitting; heck, why not, you can always rely on handouts and/or illegal means to get just as much to get by as getting paid for that labor. So, trust me, that 6% growth is missing one word–negative.
Seeing this slow, insidious proof of ‘the happening’ led me to my conclusion–best to let the animal waste away on its own self. No nukes. No bother. Just another Great Britain.
@Oriental Voice
“they say the animal’s GDP would grow some 6% this year. But I see through the lies”
Maybe they do not lie. Maybe its just “creative accounting”.
6% growth compared to…what?
After last years 30% drop, 6% growth is still well into negative territory of average GDP.
The USD is dying. No one trusts it as a stable store of wealth anymore and the US’s monopoly on violence can no longer enforce it as the world reserve currency.
The US is run by a bunch of entitled geriatrics who are not used to having to negotiate. They do not understand what’s going on and are having their final tantrum.
We are basically watching a headless chicken go through it’s death throes, except this chicken is heavily armed and still quite dangerous.
It is being defeated from without and from within right as we speak. George Soros is trashing US society with him being the very personification of applied neoliberalism: deindustrialization accompanied by greed, corruption, and cultural subversion (not that the US had any uplifting culture to speak of), and he knows very well what he’s doing. What’s worse is that while the US crumbles, it loses its grip over an ever increasing number of governments, countries and peoples. The US dollar is just an instrument of parasitic coercion against the rest of the planer. It lasts only as long as there is any fear of the US,
I can suggest a couple of videos to answer that question. The theme is ideological subversion, and it’s been carried out in the United States with great success over the last few decades.

TL;DR: The West is in stage 3, right now and, trust me, you do not want to see what stage 4 is like.
Out of total defeatism the Beast will arise, but first things must get a little worse, shall we say, being kind, and in the meantime, the best bet is to be triumphant over pessimism by remaining positive towards world and personal facts and developments, both small and great, (look for them) as when the Beastie arises the whole story will be over, as prophesied in the past by the Russians themselves.
For centuries, as you said through both Napoleon and Nazism, Russian power is in the Spirit of Culture and Truth, and the Russians are the strongest people on planet Earth, carrying the great good in their hearts, the sacred good of the human being. Western spiritual culture that emphasizes the false heritage of the Roman Empire in the transformation of the Holy Roman Empire, which is not Roman and even less sacred. The true essence of the Roman Empire is the Eastern Roman Empire, and therefore you have well noticed the East is the future of Russia, but the whole East of the world is Russia, with China and its Spiritual Culture of Wisdom, Ethics and Morality Kofuchi and Iran the spiritual culture of Persia of humanity. Indeed, Russia is the Providence that history has recorded in the course of events in the time of the world. And it has always from its bright heart always extended a hand to the West-Europe, but the arrogance of Europe is the greatest possible sin. Peter the Great wanted to transplant that culture of the West, with wigs, high heels, ornate attire girded with a sword, it is unthinkable to see this on a Russian mountaineer. These ornate Europeans were walking through Moscow, and at one point the French ornate gigolo Cervantes insulted the Russian woman, Alexander Pushkin, the great genius of the Russian people, was present, and for that insult he challenged the gigolo Cervantes to a duel for insulting the Russian Woman. Many dissuaded Pushkin from the duel because he was not skilled in weapons, and Cervantes as a gigolo did. And Cervantes kills Pushkin, it hurt the Russian soul, after Pushkin’s funeral, Cervantes still walked around Moscow like a peacock, and without a single Russian looking at him with hatred, that is the greatest force on the planet Earth, the Russian people. But when the boundary of that sacred heart is deeply crossed, and it is moved, that planetary power is immediately seen.
Your enthusiasm for Russia is heart warming. But please don’t overdo it with sentimental stories. Historical accuracy is very important. The ‘gigolo Cervantes’ who killed Pushkin was actually Georges-Charles d’Anthès, a French officer in the service of the Knights Guards of the Empress. The ‘Russian Woman’ insulted by the ‘gigolo’ was Natalia Pushkina, the very wife of the great poet, courted by d’Anthes although he was married with her sister Yekaterina Goncharova. It was never established whether the insulting lampoon (which was mocking Pushkin for being ‘Deputy Grand Master and Historiographer of the Order of Cuckolds’) was written by him. D’Anthès did not ‘walk the streets of Moscow like a peacock’. Firstly the duel happened in St. Petersburg, secondly d’Anthès was imprisoned at Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg. Dueling was illegal in Russia, and d’ Anthès was called to court, but he was pardoned by the Emperor. Stripped of his rank, he was escorted back to the frontier and ordered to leave Russia permanently. His wife followed him.

‘Those whom Jupiter wishes to destroy, he first deprives of reason’
People like Brennan & Pompeo have literally stated that Russians are genetically predisposed to lie.
They do not mean this as a figure of speech: The CIA funds research to find a genetic target in Slav DNA !!
The modern West is involved in an antimony: On the one hand the human subject seeks to dominate Nature as an object to enslave. On the other, to dominate human nature (subjective agency) through objective control. The ultimate expression of this impulse is surgery to fancifully change one’s gender … which symbolically represents Nature’s supremacy over human destiny.
Russia represents symbolically the objective limit to the West’s delusions of total control.
The brain waves bounce back, as the waves reflected by an ocean storm wall.
The deluded mind sees his opponent in the returning waves, heedless to the origin of those waves.
“Putin tapping his forehead in the sign ‘have you gone totally insane?’ “
Thinking silently for himself: ‘I have a functioning brain, and they have not’.
Coming to think of it, Gazprom should diversify: Mercaptan sulphur at really hefty prices to the “Euro-trash & Associates”; cheap natural gas to less dishonest/intellectually challenged customers. On a more serious note, the only valid justification I can see in Russia doing energy business with these, ahem, ‘customers’ at all, especially the NordStream II deal, is that it serves to dampen the power and influence of the most violently insane Russophobes in the EU countries, most notably Germany. Die Grünen are the worst of the worst.
Until now I had faith that NS2 was designed to wrest Europe away from the USA’s/NATO’s grasp. Was I wrong?
@joey_n
It seems plausible to me that it was one of Russia’s early intentions with the project. On the German side, it was and still is a life-and-death issue for Germany’s industry. But as several participants on this forum have correctly pointed out, Nordstream II is not crucial to Russia. With the God-awful rubbish which constitutes today’s Western ”leadership”, Russia had better not commit herself to the energy demands of what amounts to mentally unstable Russophobes.
Western civilization lived by cascade of lies that went unchallenged throughout the centuries and are now culminating in today’s narrative that is impossible to understand and reason as they are based on absurd make-believe scenarios. It is a rollercoaster of pure stupidity that has no end in sight until shit (reality) hits the fan. Perhaps, Russia should cut the gas supplies after all and just sit and watch “Lord of the flies” come to their senses.

Re: Russians are in total awe at the suicidal stupidity of the West
You know me as one who has no right to be part of this debate, but I will make an exception today.
I believe Putin lost an opportunity to challenge the moderator, particularly when she accused Russia of enabling corruption and punishing reporters.
As I wrote last time, “I see this as a war on propaganda which “Russia and China lost before they realized they were in one”. (Ron Unz).
No country confronted the lies of 9/11 on its 20th anniversary to put a stop to “crimes against humanity” and demand justice for the tens of millions of victims by a Nuremburg type trial of the known criminals.
It makes Russia and China “appear” as willing participants eager to profit from the spoils of war and finance.
Nothing signifies the hypocrisy more than the silence surrounding the case against Assange, whose crime was exposure to crimes against humanity. “
I am not judging Putin.
I am simply saying I was surprised and disappointed ………
Happy Trails,

I believe Putin lost an opportunity to challenge the moderato
Oh but he did, he basically called her stupid, wrapped in a fake compliment about her (*very* average by locals standards) look :-)
Then the Russian press had a good laughter with her pathetic need to show off her legs.
This is a PR disaster for the entire western presscorps, and the Russians are laughing….
Americans seem totally incapable to even feel that Russians don’t play by their rules.
What is the primary cause of this surge in gas pricing? Traders manipulations,…. ? Russia will win trust and respect by exposing the real cause in detail.
The West has been financialiZed by the financial speculators. The EU pursued a wrong energy policy by letting the spot market determine the price of its energy. This exposes its weakness and dependency on the speculators (manipulation). What % of the gas price is determined by speculation? Are speculators/traders manipulating prices and supplies? The West wants speculators and their financiers to get the most profits, while denying the producers much gains. This will drive inequality and worsen the economic prosperity in the long run. China pursues long-term contract pricing. Contract vs Speculative Spot price, which is better?
The Western media will then attempt hatchet job and blame it on their adversaries, Russia in this case.
In which currency does Russia sell its gas to Europe? In Euros? Why not in Rubles? What happened to Russia’s sovereignty? Vladimir Putin didn’t respond well to the question about cryptocurrencies. He should have framed them as speculative instruments and not as a currency, and talked about the monetary sovereignty. Finance is Russia’s big weakness. https://youtu.be/YgICAlBiMzQ
Checkout how the Colombian coffee farmers defaulted on their deliveries to the traders as the world coffee prices soared 55%, in order to re-sell the coffee at higher rates. Traders are getting defaulted and it’s a mess. The global trade houses are looking at losses. Smart farmers!
@Max
“What is the primary cause of this surge in gas pricing?”
We do not know all aspect of NS2 contract. We do know it is not solely owned by Gazprom. Criminal sabotage and delays of it damaged all western partners as much as Russia. Shareholders can and will sue all those involved in sabotage and win in court easily.
This price surge can be a way to compensate victims of US meddling without being dragged to court and pay much more in the end.
Does that mean that innocent end-users will pay for misdeeds of spineless politicians? Yes.
Are the western elites actually suffering from a particularly virulent type of schizophrenia or are they just up to some stupid stunts? Frankly I am beginning to suspect the former, far fetched as it sounds. North Atlantic man in Orwell’s caricature ”sees history, especially contemporary history, as a relentless rise and decline of great power units, and every event that happens seems to him a demonstration that his own side is on the upgrade and some hated rival on the down-grade … ” North Atlantic man having picked his side ”… persuades himself that it is the strongest, and is able to stick to this belief even when the facts are overwhelmingly against him. ” The type of power-hunger is tempered by self-deception. Every North Atlantic man is capable of the most flagrant dishonesty, but he is also – since he is conscious of serving something bigger than himself – unshakably certain of being in the right.”
Further, North Atlantic Man ”… not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.” About right!
Its embarrassing to be in bed w/people when the sheets are being pulled off and they are nude.
And even after they have been warned.
What’s next? The tide
“We read letters of WWII German officers serving on the Eastern Front in the early phases of the invasion: they were full of the usual stuff about Russian subhumans getting their asses kicked by the ‘culture-carrying master race’ (Kulturträger Herrenvolk). /…/ We also read letters written by German officers, but after Stalingrad in which they were actually calling Russian quasi-superhumans. The contrast was absolutely amazing.”
Actually, that conclusion eventually dawned upon Herr Hitler too. As the erstwhile subhumans were closing in on Berlin, Hitler’s omnicidal outlook was turned inside out: his own Herrenvolk was singled out as worthless trash while the Slavic peoples, most notably the Russians, were recognized as bigger and stronger, hence entitled to life, power, and glory. I simply cannot for the life of me imagine today’s Pindos and Euro-trash being capable of any such introspection, Their self-worship is all about private wealth. Hopeless garbage all along the line.
Hi Andrei,
With all respects and with much trepidation, dare I say that there may be something else going on behind this clown mask? Picture the following scenario: A hates B with an intensity beyond words but he also knows that he cannot hit B without getting hit back. So how does this psychological frustration of A play out? A takes to bad-mouthing B at every opportunity. He screams, froths at the mouth, shouts, and stomps his feet. But don’t take A for a mere fool. He is biding his time for an opportunity to slip in a blow at B.
It is not enough to mock the fool, he has to be watched intently all the time, for behind the foolishness lie intense hatred, evil intentions, and God knows what else.
It has been my feeling since years that Russia and Putin need to talk firmly and plainly with the West and to drop this habit of calling them “partners”. Even when Putin points out the errors in what the “partners” are saying, he is still much too polite. This has been going on for over a decade and is clearly not working. Instead, the West keeps mistaking politeness and silence for weakness and their trash talk keeps increasing. Why not a change in approach?
Re this gas delivery affair: Why not tell them plainly that they are getting what they contracted for, no more and no less. The problem in dealing with hate-filled “partners” is that if Russia offers them 10% more than the contract, they will only say “See, the evil Russians are still not delivering as much as we need.” Hold them to the contract, loud and clear, and shut them up if they talk lies or nonsense.
Western pressures against Russia and also on CIS are relentless and massive
MOSCOW, October 13. /TASS/. The US keep trying to export their values in order to influence Russia’s foreign and internal policies, Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Director Sergey Naryshkin said during a meeting of CIS top intelligence and security officials Wednesday.
“The US and their allies keep trying to export their Western – I call them totalitarian-liberal – values, in order influence our state from the standpoint of changing our internal and foreign policies,” he said.
The intelligence agency head noted the active efforts of the US and their allies on rocking Russia’s internal and foreign policy became a reason for scrupulous discussion of “pressing issues of interaction [between CIS countries] in the context of new hybrid threats against our states from a known group of Western states.”
According to Naryshkin, the US plays a significant coordinating role in the destructive work against CIS countries, as indicated by “vast material,” accumulated by the intelligence.
and?
russians are always complaining about what the other side is doing,
but what are the russians doing?
perfect opportunity to arrest victoria nuland while she is in russia
and make a public trial for instigating war crimes against
ukrainian russians. televise it so all world can see what happens to war criminals
and yes, why not – publicly excecute her
do something russians, just for god’s sake – stop yer b!tching it is so annoying
Do you seriously believe that US elites will do nothing about it? It will only increase tensions even more than they already are! And also it will a potent PR weapon against Russia. There are no easy answers, my friend.
US ruling class thinks it can do whatever it wants without any consequences. There is one rule for them, and anothe for everyone else. That’s the sad reality.
Are you so afraid of “US elites of doing something”? What exactly will they do that they aren’t doing already? Bow down to a bully, you increase his bullying. Stand up to him and throw a punch, the bully backs down.
They certainly do something, but not beating their chests and pulling faces at the Americans, as you expect them to do. Recently CIA admitted that their agents in Russia (and not only) have been ‘captured, killed or compromised’ ‘losing dozens of informants’.
Idle rainy day musing.
CIS= commonwealth independent states.
Comprised of Nations and populations who oppose the overtly and aggressive imposition of homosexuality and transsexual “values” in society.
CIS= Cisgender (sometimes cissexual, or shortened to cis) describes a person whose gender identity is the same as their sex assigned at birth.
The word cisgender is the antonym of transgender.
The prefix cis-is not an acronym or abbreviation of another word; it is derived from Latin meaning on this side of.
Coined in 1994, cisgender began to be added to dictionaries in 2015…..
So CIS = CIS.
The EU energy crisis looks suspiciously similar to the California energy crisis of 2000.The US energy companies used artificially created shortages and manipulated futures markets to 10x has and electricity costs.
However Los Angeles has a publicly owned energy business, not for profit. Aka socialist municipal utility.
Its prices remained stable.
When the then governor tried to sue the corporate gas and electric company, the Oligarchs ginned up a recall campaign accusing the governor for his “failure”, while they were the guilty party!
They financed Arnold Schwarzenegger who father was an actual Nazi Gauleiter, to replace the governor. When the media backed Schwarzenegger, he won. And dropped the lawsuit!
I believe this EU fake crisis is just one more scam by the fascists who actually call the shots—literally—in the EU.
excellent article! yes, it amazing yet the ‘ruling ‘ ‘elites’ could mess up the funeral of a twice dead donkey. History is catching up to the west, yet the problem is that many or most americans do not even know history. the greatest danger of capitalism is that when monetary concerns become the sole benefactor to a society, such a society loses much in the terms of history, culture etc. many in the west still strongly believe they are the best. deception and projection are the tricks of the trade, but some people in the west are waking up…will they wake up soon enough? probably not. if europe was half smart they would approve asap North Stream 2. But the american elites will not allow this or at least will delay approval as long as possible. power always precedes truth.
Meltdown of the western entity is really not a bad thing. No worry. Rather pass the popcorn.
Looking at what is currently happening in US I have a feeling that the whole US society is ready for suicide. There are so many strikes going on (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/oct/01/us-labor-unrest-unions-strikes) and yet no one came up with idea to organize one big-ass strike and demand real change for working US people. I think, this is because US is a group of individualists which breed selfishness hence the current situation.
On other side, western EU is just a US puppet which explains their way of “thinking”. To try to deal with west on common sense basics is simply impossible. Russia (and China) should just show it’s pure force everytime west tries to pull something, simply because that is the only thing west understands clearly.
Its death by a 1000 cuts, slowly at first, then all at once.
Organizing “one big-ass strike” is more difficult than you may realize. First the workers have to overcome their own corrupt corporate collaborationist unions — this was the case with the current Deere strike, for instance.
Although this is happening with increasing frequency. Remember the teacher strikes in West Virginia and other states a couple of years ago? In every case the union was demanding that the teachers accept management terms and *not* strike. But strike they did, and ended up with better contracts than the unions had “negotiated.”
Speaking about French шваль, I recommend what is the best history of the Napoleonic debacle in Russia, written from a Russian perspective: “Russia Against Napoleon,The Battle for Europe, 1807 to 1814” (or in some newer editions ”Russia Against Napoleon: The True Story of the Campaigns of War and Peace”), by Dominic Lieven, Professor of Russian and International history at the University of Cambridge.
Actually all the books of Dominic Lieven, specialist on Imperial Russia, himself the scion of an ancient Germano-Baltic noble family in the service of the Tsars, deeply involved in Russian history.
“Russian analysts are saying: the consolidated West is so totally out of touch with reality that it is, in essence, committing suicide”.
This is the crux of the matter. I am a US citizen and you’ve no idea how frustrating this is. To actually have to explain that the earth revolves around the sun and this isn’t a social construct but a fact. To explain that if windmills produce 100 kW and your house needs a 1000kW to be heated in the winter then you need to find another energy source to make up for 900kW. Freezing winter temperatures are the best teacher I suppose.
Everything is like this today. No logic, no reason just absolute MADNESS. It has infected almost every field of study, every work place, every home.
These tyrants of lunacy wield force but it is in the form of aggression not authority. They are a danger to any society that even entertains them for a second. But they are also weak. They are enslaved by insecurity. They feel frustration and impotency and it’s driving the world into insanity. This has got to stop.
Our decisions will become more astute when they are once again based on a dynamic, evolving reality rather than wishful thinking and a fixed ideology.
The current “Western” elite will go down in the history books in whatever way they see fit, if they win. If they lose, they’ll be eradicated from history.
Everything the “Western” elites do makes perfect sense. They aren’t trying to conquer the rest of the world, they are trying to consolidate control over the part they currently rule over. Once they’ve crushed all internal dissent they’ll abandon all the nonsense and go hardcore bolshevik. At that time they’ll control most of the world, and will focus in a much more practical way at extending their control over the rest of the world (Russia, China, etc.)
”Once they’ve crushed all internal dissent they’ll abandon all the nonsense and go hardcore bolshevik. At that time they’ll control most of the world /…/”
Zorost, believe me: They are surely capable of crushing all internal dissent but, no, they just don’t have the knack for going ”hardcore bolshevik”. Just compare the American so-called ”revolution” with the Russian Revolution (November 1917). The former brought about lots of land-grabbing, genocide, and institutionalized racism, all the crap later to be aped by Nazi Germany. The Bolshevik revolution in Russia led to an unparalleled rise in literacy, science, equality, and culture. Totally anathema to the New World Order of utter degeneracy. Lenin, Stalin, and Putin are admired by most Russians today.
The U.S. government has as little agency as the Ukraine and Europe. If Russia wants to talk to their Masters they need to talk to the international financial crowd that partially comprises the Rothschild and Rockerfeller families.

Re. Nuland:
Breaching own sanctions vis-a-vis Victoria Nuland Russia clearly shows deeply ingrained weakness and lack of principles. It looks like the partnership with China and return to the traditional and proven relationships (Serbia, Cuba etc.-the rest has been taken over by the enemy because Russia is/was treacherous) is not yet on agenda for the Russian oligarchy. Apparently, they, the oligarchy, are giving it another shot as they always will. Yes, even with V. Nuland. Good luck the most enduring losers. I’m truly amazed and ashamed on your behalf. Apparently, Putin and the rest of oligarchy got some chocolate chip cookies again, beside those they accepted on the Maidan.. Oh, how happy they are.
@Djole
Yes, we know Putin is a sissy/sell-out/fraudster as well as an incompetent simpleton. Still, his leadership is bringing the whole rotten edifice of Western imperialism down. What’s not to like?
Chocolate chip cookies and education, what else.
hey,
i thought putin said “do nothing” and the Western leadership is “clueless, stupid, incompetent” and they are
bringing the empire down with their hubris?
US had to lift their own restrictions against some Russian diplomats, in order for Russia to lift theirs (against Nuland.)
It was a case of reciprocity, not a unilateral concession by Russia.
Extremely disappointed with Russia for lifting sanctions against verified Russophobe Nuland and letting her arrive to Moscow and blatantly keeps giving lessons on what Russia must and should do. Seriously, what is the point in talking to her? The same question that Medvedev asked about Ukrainian psychopaths.
Where is the red line for Kremlin? If it exists at all.
Q: Seriously, what is the point in talking to her?
A: Don’t think they even tried talking to her. More appropriate would be to ask: ’Seriously, what is the point in listening to her?’.
Short, blunt reply: Refined amusement.
As far as I’m concerned, Russia could flog the harridan in public to the tune of ”Kalinka”, but Nuland 8 years later is just a sore loser with zero chance of success, however defined. Russia has bigger fish to fry.
Where is the US common sense. Kerry was a naval officer in Vietnam, a war he later condemned, while later as Secretary of State under Obama, he worked directly with Lavrov on the successful Iran nuke deal. They send Russia’s favorite US statesman, John Kerry, to negotiate an agreement on climate but failed. So what was pan B? Why not send Russians the one US diplomat that is universally hated by Russians for her role in the US coup to overthrow a Russian friendly government in Ukraine. How could it miss?
Can’t you see that the Russians utterly humiliated her and the brainless braggarts who send her?
To illustrate the delusional state of our beloved leaders in Brussels (and monthly in Strasbourg to fluff the French egos, which costs many millions), I found this again on the Sputnik Telegram channel of October 13th:
🇪🇺The European Commission has made a statement on the energy crisis:
🔹energy prices are to stabilize in spring, there is no risk to energy supplies;
🔹gas supplies from Russia to the EU were below expectations, Gazprom fulfilled contracts but has not offered extra supplies;
🔹the European Commission is investigating possible violations of competition rules in the EU energy market;
🔹the European Commission invites the EU authorities to partially cover increased energy bills, allow payment deferrals, reduce taxes for vulnerable population;
🔹the EU should increase investments in renewables.
Seriously, wtf?
Please read this one again: “gas supplies from Russia to the EU were below expectations, Gazprom fulfilled contracts but has not offered extra supplies”.
As if I order a pair of shoes at Amazon, and am now complaining that one pair of shoes is delivered as ordered, I had expected two pair, and now am very angry that Amazon didn’t offer that?
The incompetence is so shriekingly painful. Really, do they think that we are stupid?
Cheers, Rob
The tragedy is that they really think that.
”Gas supplies from Russia to the EU were below expectations, Gazprom fulfilled contracts but has not offered extra supplies.”
Haha, let Navalny help his beloved Euro-trash by courageously farting into the pipes. The fragrance of Freedom Gas, free of charge. The Euro-trash, by contrast, stinks to High Heaven.
”The incompetence is so shriekingly painful. Really, do they think that we are stupid?”
On a more serious note now: I used to believe they were cunning and dexterous people with quite some clout in each and every country they were dealing with. If that ever was the case, then let’s write it off resoundingly as a thing of the past, never to return again. Their ”performance” is, in fact, genuine in the sense that it is driven by 100% authentic liberal mindrot, courtesy of their media consumption and miseducation at school. They lie and bullshit because of the prevalent post-modern imbecilification of Western society. The game is up, which becomes particularly clear as this kind of mindless drivel is directed against nations like Russia and China in the firm belief that it’s true and that indeed it will work.
Bottom line: At this fabulous rate of ”progress”, the West is bound to go belly up this decade. End result: Maggots and faggots all over the place, LOL.
Let me tune in to your alinea with the serious note, that’s interesting.
I was already wondering for some time, why all kinds of developments in the West just go on while everybody sees it is going down the gallows. I also used to think that vile geniuses were weaving Vicious Plans.
Then why is this show continuing with ‘build back better’, ‘green new deal’, ‘great reset’, ‘new world order’ and all that jazz, while half of the world is looking in amazement what the hell we here in the west are doing, suiciding ourselves?
(btw, for good understanding: please don’t consider ‘me’ in above mentioned ‘we’.)
I found a probable answer in the opening alineas of an article of Andrew Anglin about China: https://www.unz.com/aanglin/what-about-china-then/
Simplified summary: things were already initiated in the nineties, trains are already on track at full throttle, and that Russia and China are not on board anymore is simply ‘forgotten’ (‘gee, maybe somebody really should take care of that’ – read:’not me’).
It’s quite understandable that this is seen in Eurasia in worried moods. Is it already clear who in DC to talk to? If there is anybody who is endangering ‘American interests’, it’s the public looks of the presumed president played by mumbling mummy Joe Biden. This week I joked to friends of mine that the next president will be just be an animation.
Who is taking decisions in DC? Do they know themselves, btw?
Maybe there is the biggest problem to start with?
Cheers, Rob
To answer your last question: Yes. Sad thing is that they’ve been getting away with it for so long that they don’t even bother making their lies the least bit plausible.
@Rob
“Really, do they think that we are stupid?”
It doesn’t looks like they are talking to us.
“Nothing sobers up somebody drunk on ideology as a brutal confrontation with a reality which cannot be denied.” I posted this to my FB page with a credit to you, it is an excellent quote, well done!!
Americastan is crumpling right before our eyes. Parts of the USA look like South Africa. Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia, I could go on, all run by incompetent black mayor’s. Worried about tranny’s rights while people are shot dead in the street during daylight hours. There is total insanity all across the political spectrum.
A new poll just came out where a majority of the population support a war against China to support Taiwan. The people of the US are just as insane as their government. Not much hope there.
Are you saying the White people of the US are just as insane as their government? If this is so, how would do you expect black mayors to deal with them?
First thing in the morning would be my suggestion.
When I visited Guangzhou a few years back to visit family I was amazed how much has changed for the better compared to my prior visits. The Guangzhou metro did not exist when I was a young kid, and it is one of the main things I still think about when it comes to modern day China. Fast, efficient, clean and most importantly, safe. There is no way I would ever ride the NYC Subway or BART without my concealed Glock but of course those two states criminalize self defense yet truly resemble 3 world countries. I tell my friends in the US all the time that I felt safer in China without a gun than I do here in this woke joke with a gun. I only stay here because I want to personally see it fall apart, so I can rub it in an anglo’s face as his “exceptionalism” is crumbling before his very eyes.
China, Russia, Hungary and whoever else gets massive praise from me for saying no to faggotry.
The American people for the most part are a joke. How many of those wannabe murican badasses are going to line up at their nearest recruiting station when the Sino-American war goes hot? Only 44% are willing to fight for their country compared to China’s 71%. 71% of murican youth, the main target demographic, aren’t even qualified anyway since they are either too fat, lack a high school diploma or have a criminal record. I guarantee murica will bring back the draft if such a conflict even happens. I still remember the millennial reaction to mere rumors of a draft or war with Iran when Gen Soleimani was assassinated last year.
They need to stop acting like they care about Taiwan, its similar to “I hate the CCP, not the Chinese people!” I see straight through their BS!
Just for the record, a short note about the presence of Victoria Nuland.
The fact that *she* was sent to Moscow for ‘negotiations’, is already telling enough about the state of ‘diplomacy’ of the US State Dept, and their fine feeling for style.
As a comment to a social media post of her, with a picture taken in Moscow, ‘Looking forward’ blah blah, Maria Zakharova wrote on 11.10 on her Telegram channel:
“Сколько знаю госпожу Нуланд, всегда жду от неё щедрого повода для мирового троллинга. Спасибо, Виктория!”
Yandex translate: “As long as I’ve known Ms. Nuland, I’ve always been waiting for a generous reason from her for world trolling. Thank you, Victoria!”
My guess is that Nuland and her ilks don’t even understand the true meaning of this, and would even consider it a compliment.
Oh dear.
Cheers, Rob
This is a consequence of holding “full spectrum dominance” over the world for 500 years, half a millennium of western supremacy has deeply ingrained into the ruling echelons a sense of total & under superiority – & for some reason, the remainder of the world seem slow to accept the grim reality that the western imperial mentality is a form of deep psychosis that can only be cured by killing the patient. All western governments, ALL of them, all western ruling classes, ALL of them, are outright Nazi’s – total scum of the earth Hitlerites. The ultra-liberalism that the west, particularly the US & EU are trying to force on the world & their own societies at the moment is nothing more than a form of inverted Nazism, the difference being in Nazism, we were superior because of our Aryan racial biology, now we are superior because of our values & civilizational norms. And the ultimate value & civilizational norm? If we, the west, look upon you & spit in your face, you will lick that spit up & offer us oral sex on top in gratitude, if we speak to you, it will be the best single event of your life, if a Donald Trump type character shoves you out the way at a NATO summit – as he did to then Montenegro’s idiot PM Dusko Markovic, then you will – as Dusko Markovic stunningly went on to do – thank Donald Trump for acknowledging you exist. That is the western imperial mentality. Every genuine human quality, value, positive trait, is inverted to its opposite. Those who say I exaggerate, or it is not that bad, are frankly, imbeciles of the highest order & deny the reality as it is. This is how it is. And of course, you can not carry on like that forever, you will, in the end, as the west is now doing in spectacular fashion, destroy yourself. Just as Hitler & his Nazi bandits brought destruction on Germany, the collective west is now doing it to itself, including Germany, who learnt nothing from all of this & is committing the same errors again & again.

Remember the old saw about the difficulty of getting somebody to understand something when their livelihood depends on their not understanding it? That’s the bind the western ruling elites are in. The moment they understand that the corporate fascism they have so carefully developed and nurtured is the problem, not the solution, their entire rationale collapses into dust.
Welcome to the last days of the Empire of Stupid. The issue we face now is how to survive such interesting times. Maybe emigrating to Russia or China is an option for the young and well-educated.
I hear the China has enough empty housing to house the entire population of Germany. Plenty of “Lebensraum” there, but only if Evergrande can pull its act together. Err, just a thought, but is corporate fascism is going crazy in China as well?

@Robert Shule: “China has enough empty housing to house the entire population of Germany”.
Or 20% of the U$ population. Or 5% of the Chinese population.

They understand it very well. Now they want to sacrifice you to hold onto their money. To them, the the game is not over. It’s just begun. Now, the game is who, amongst them, has the stronger stomach the tougher the more sociopath is going to cull more of us. They will keep some of us for soldiers to do their final fights when they go after each other. In the end only one “god” has to survive. Most of us will not be around to enjoy it.
Led by America, the collective West is homicidal, or better yet, genocidal in character–fanatically and sociopathically genocidal.
How many people have America and its allies (particularly in the Anglosphere or European nations) murdered in the past generation?
According to even the US institution, the Cost of War project at Brown University, the number of direct deaths resulting from America’s “Forever Wars” are almost 1 million people.
HUMAN COST OF POST-9/11 WARS: DIRECT WAR DEATHS IN MAJOR WAR ZONES
https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/figures/2021/WarDeathToll
This figure is likely an underestimate because it does not fully address all the people that America and its “democratic” allies murdered in Libya with the 2011 NATO bombing of that nation and subsequent descent of Libya into a failed state.
This is not to mention the nearly 38 Million people that have been also displaced thanks to America’s post-9/11 wars.

America’s Forever War is the crime against humanity for the 21st Century–yet very few people, especially Americans, want to admit this reality.
Instead, they stand reality on its head and claim that *America* is being threatened or that America is merely acting in “self-defense” or that America is the virtuous Leader of the Free World defending its megalomaniacal vision of a Rules-Based World Order.
And far from ending its “forever wars,” America has in the past several years advanced its Great Power Competition (aka New Cold War) against Russia and China.
This New Cold War is even more dangerous than America’s previous wars, as it has the potential to end in a cataclysmic world conflict that will engulf the planet in an inferno–a true apocalyptic War to End All Wars.
This is not merely suicidal behavior. It is genocidal–or rather, omnicidal–in the extreme.
I think President Putin is laughing and having the best time of his life. He has been giving the west enough rope to hang themselves. His strategy has been very successful and at a very minimum cost to his country. Let the idiots deceive themselves. And they say the Russians consume too much alcohol!
“… I think President Putin is laughing and having the best time of his life. He has been giving the west enough rope to hang themselves. …”
That is, unless they pull along everyone else on their way down…
I think the whole “the Russians” are smart the “Americans are dumb and dumber” is off the mark mainly because the Saker and most of his readers really don’t understand how power works in Washington. In the USA money is the final moral arbiter and power is pursued in order to get money not “glory” for the country. Yes, there are ideologues in the dominant the foreign policy “blob”, i.e, neocons (both Democrat and Republican) but why is that the case? Not because that’s what the American people want–certainly most Americans don’t care at all about foreign policy and even if they did it would make no difference. The reason the neocons dominate is because the corporate elite, mainly the military contractors, but also most other power-centers who believe that, no matter what, a strong central authority open to bribes is their best bet to continued and guaranteed gravy-train. The corporate elite finance the neocons and thus US foreign policy, if we can even call it that.
The neocon argument remains the same. They believe and have believed that only war and empire can possibly hold the US together which means continuing the strong central authority and, they believe rightly, that their now absolute control of the mainstream media, will guarantee that the citizenry will go along, as they always do, with whatever schemes they wish to pursue. From the citizenry this tendency is even more evident today because everyone needs to feel they are part of a larger enterprise and/or frame of reference. The Chinese have their Chinese culture, USA-ans don’t have that rather, it has to be made up periodically by slogans like the “leader of the free word” or the general sense that money is the whole point of life and sharing that moral imperative will make everyone happier, more free and so on. Thus the neocons understand and love globalism as the matrix for instituting rule by money and they get paid a lot of it for broadcasting this absurd notion (for those of us who believe in spiritual principles).
The non-ideologues who just like money and power but don’t have illusions about saving the world or benefiting mankind actually call the shots and manipulate the ideologues to do their bidding. That means creating a world of maximum tension by generating fantasies of “enemies” whether it is Russia, Iran, China, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, North Korea, and “terrorists” foreign and domestic ALL of those based on fantasy. Since US foreign policy is all based on fantasy and the USA-ans demand fantasy as entertainment and reality. Neocons like Nuland understand all this as do their allies in Europe. They believe they can finesse a new Roman Empire (the perennial dream of European culture) through the US military and the CIA alliance network on the one hand and on the other the cultural dominance of US culture dominated by US Jews in Hollywood and NYC which centers on the elimination of all restrictions on body color and shape as well as the Western Humanist tradition. The new culture is ideologically opposed to logic, reason, and real science and valorizes fantasy as the highest level of reality (as long as its paid for).
So trying to “make sense” of US policy towards anything is a waste of time because reason and logic are now, effectively, banned in elite US/European culture so nothing makes sense. Fantasy is an ersatz form of mysticism ungrounded in the great spiritual traditions but fills the need for meaning. It is a genuine possibility that the world of Asia will succumb to this in time–that is the calculation of the US intel community. Keeping pressure on the non-Western world will tie up resources to meet US threats and slow-down development. The US can bring unlimited expenditures to this effort since the citizenry is uninterested in reality and like the idea that their “team” is uber-powerful even as it loses wars–which in ten minutes is completely forgotten. This is why the majority of the USA-ans favor going to war with China over Taiwan. Of course, now, the European populations have also become enamored of fantasy and thus support fantasies created by the intel services who no control all media in the West.
.. Since these neocons, through cooperation with the CIA and its community of contractors and allies (including organized crime)
Thanks for posting this. I think the new buzzword for fantasy is “reimagined” in this absurd “woke” world. The issue for me is why such a ridiculous ideology? Ideology itself is just a cloak for the pursuit of power but why choose something so illogical?
Yes, war with China is being pushed for in some quarters but I don’t think the majority of US citizens are even aware of this. The Pentagon thinks it will “reimagine” a short and severe conflict with China. Then a blockade or a “safety ” corridor will come into play. Easy, will take less than a year with very few US casualties. Pretty good Hollywood script, no?
I’m grateful that this whole system of crazy is being resisted. I’m happy whole countries are saying no.
“I will end with a personal anecdote. While studying at the School of International Service (SIS) at the American University I had an absolutely fantastic teacher, a former Naval intel guy of Polish origin. His lessons were absolutely superb, each time. One day, we did something really interesting (and fun!): for half of the class we read letter of WWII German officers serving on the Eastern Front in the early phases of the invasion: they were full of the usual stuff about Russian subhumans getting their asses kicked by the “culture-carrying master race” (Kulturträger Herrenvolk). In the second half of the class, we also read letter written by German officers, but after Stalingrad in which they were actually calling Russian quasi-superhumans. The contrast was absolutely amazing.”
Here”s an excerpt from an Argentine Peronist blogger related to this subject:
https://deshonestidadintelectual.blogspot.com/2010/11/frustracion-odio-y-temor-el-sindrome.html
My translation:
“Frustration, Hate and Fear: The Syndrome of Sturmbannführer Kramer”
[ ]
It describes the disappointment that a nazi officer endures on the Russian front.
Official Josef Kramer hates Russians because they do not adjust to the image that propaganda taught him: He hates them for denying his prejugements:
“He hated the Russians because they fooled him, him and millions as of him.
They let the World believe that Russians were rough-edged Barbarians when in fact anyone could see that they were spectacular engineers, astonishing farmers and incredible, colossal soldiers.
He hated the Russians because he had arrived in Ukraine expecting to liberate drunk, dumb and goodhearted peasants from the hard grip of satanic Jews, but he found ending up fighting against soldiers as blond as him, of similar courage, same fanatism and a tremendously efficient team.
That team worried him.
From where did it came, from poverty, from hunger, from terror of bolchevikism?
These men were not lambs.
Neither maniatics.
They were tenacious, brave, witty, fanatics”

This is excellent point.
Why, for millennia, do Westerners keep getting surprised by Russians?
I am not sure of proportions, but it appears a combination of:
– Elite self-deception. Knowledgable western elites hide the reality from cannon fodder to be sent East. Who would go if they knew what awaits them?! Also as recently deceased Professor Stephen Cohen said, this basic ignorance extends as well to intelligentsia and all current western “Russia hands” in academia, think tanks, media and government bureaucracies. The fools believe ignorance will translate to strength, that by believing fairy tales, they can will it into existence.
– Russian maskirovka. Or is it just terrible PR, albeit improved since 2018? Russians do not boast and tend to hide their true capabilities. Similar to boxing rope-a-dope strategy or Sun Tzu’s dictum to “appear weak when you are strong.”
– Hope springs eternal. One Eastern campaign MUST eventually succeed. All the tabaquis competing to see who will be the “Great Russian Nutcracker!”
The kids running the candy store were never able, willing, or wanting to go beyond the dictionary.
They took and then passed down their grade A greatness to control the finance industry and citizens with questionable rules, and then simply ignore, then target everything able to reverse their greatness.
This is your federal reserve today, always wrong, but never in doubt.
This is the problem with Russians. They are not the fools we want them to be.
The USA is in such a panic mode. They have activated their Balkan trump cards, just enough to give some new headaches to the idiots in EU. And what are those idiots doing?
Nothing. No support for Serbia over crimes of those terrorist bastards in our southern province. No support for Serbian Christians fighting against Turkish proxies in Bosnia. And yet, the new gas pipeline is coming from Serbia to Hungary and beyond. And yet, EU has billions of euros worth of investments to defend in Serbia.
EU is squadering all for pennies from it’s US master. Not to mention EU’s suicidal policy towards the Ukrainian vasall state. The calculus there is fast approaching NULL value.
Indeed, only a braindead leadership can run the current EU.

Here’s an interesting tidbit I live in Canada and we have an embargo on Russian stocks. I tried to buy a Russian bank on my US newsletters pick list so I would assume that Americans can buy it. Why is the Canadian government kowtowing to the US? Or this is what I perceive. What has Russia done to Canada? Nothing as far as I know
