May 9th Victory Day Parade on Red Square 2017 (FULL VIDEO)
President Putin’s speech at 17:30 with English voice over
This morning I got a message from Veritas: “Thanks Scott.
I am sitting here watching the Victory Parade live – VVP’s speech this year was different in tone. He was stern and passionate – it was a message to those outside of Russia too. Never on our soil again – he was stressing. The planes have been grounded due to weather sadly, but at least the rehearsals would have shown the planes and helicopters.
I truly believe the elections in France and especially the UK are to get the war parties in or maintained. This nonsense about Brexit – it’s about May getting a majority in the Commons to go to war. That is why there has been a sudden snap election – everyone is being manipulated. I feel VVP’s speech today was a sign of this…….this is why the UN info is so important – history repeats itself…..yet again….”
1,000s of troops, state-of-the-art weaponry parade through Moscow on V-Day (PHOTOS, FULL VIDEO)
During the celebration with the veterans of the Great Patriotic in Kremlin, Putin made a statement about a fate of the Russian people if the Nazi Germany would win the war.
“This sacred holiday is celebrated by all of Russia. And it is clear why.
It is not just the many millions of victims which our people sacrificed on the altar of Victory. If our country would have succumbed to the terrible tragedy and, like many other European countries, suffered defeat, a totally different fate would have awaited us than the enslaved countries of the European continent. It was not only a question of the existence of our country, it was a question of the existence of our people as an ethnos.
And we are well aware of this from the documents of the Nazi party and the fascist state which are still stored in archives. Those who were not used for slave labour would have been subject either to physical elimination, plain and simple, or resettlement to remote regions without any infrastructure where they would have been doomed to gradual extinction.
This is what we must always remember when we talk about the truth of the Second World War, the Great Patriotic War, when we speak about the victims which our people sacrificed on the altar of Victory, as I already mentioned. This is something we must never forget. This is the most important thing.”
=========
Let’s remember that it was not Germany alone that attacked us, but all European nations took a part in this war against us.
On June 22nd, 1941 all of the radio stations of Germany were broadcasting the following announcement made by Hitler:
“National Socialists!
You probably all felt that this was a bitter and difficult step for me. The German people have never had hostile feelings toward the peoples of Russia. During the last two decades, however, the Jewish-Bolshevist rulers in Moscow have attempted to set not only Germany, but all of Europe, aflame. Germany has never attempted to spread its National Socialist worldview to Russia. Rather, the Jewish-Bolshevist rulers in Moscow have constantly attempted to subject us and the other European peoples to their rule. They have attempted this not only intellectually, but above all through military means.
The results of their efforts, in every nation, were only chaos, misery, and starvation.
I, on the other hand, have tried for two decades to build a new socialist order in Germany, with a minimum of interference and without harming our productive capacity. This has not only eliminated unemployment, but also the profits of labor have flowed increasingly to working people.
The results of our policies are unique in all the world. Our economic and social reorganization has led to the systematic elimination of social and class barriers, with the goal of a true people’s community.
<…>
I was forced by circumstances to keep silent in the past. Now the moment has come when further silence would be not only a sin, but a crime against the German people, against all Europe.
Today, about 160 Russian divisions stand at our border. There have been steady border violations for weeks, and not only on our border, but in the far north, and also in Rumania. Russian pilots make a habit of ignoring the border, perhaps to show us that they already feel as if they are in control.”
You can read the full speech here. It’s very long, confusing and anticlimactic, as everything that Hitler wrote, and you can discover a remarkable wording identical to those of the U.S. defense news and the U.S. senate speeches.
The attack on the Soviet Union early in the morning of June 22nd 1941 were involved:
the German formations: 153 divisions, 600,000 of motorized units, 3580 tanks, 7184 guns, 2740 aircraft;
12 divisions and 10 brigades of Romania,
18 Finnish divisions;
3 Hungarian brigade;
two and a half Slovak brigades;
later joined by 3 Italian teams and the Spanish “Blue division”.
Besides Hungarians, Romanians, Finns, Italians, Slovaks and Spaniards who attacked our country in their national divisions and brigades, in the ranks of Nazi troops that broke into our land there were hundreds of thousands of French, Belgians, Dutch, Poles, Czechs, Danes, Norwegians, Bulgarians, Croats, Luxembourgers, Jews, etc.
All European nations, with some rare exception, treacherously and suddenly attacked us and began ruthlessly killing civilians.
From a remarkable collection of letters coming from the invaders back home in summer of 1941.
From the diary of Joseph Goebbels (9-15 July 1941)
“…The Fuhrer is extremely pleased that disguise of the preparations for the Eastern campaign was quite successful, and the entire maneuver was performed with incredible sneakiness.
…Preliminary results suggests that the war in the East has been largely won: two-third of the Bolshevik forces have been already destroyed or badly frayed… five-sixths of the air and armored forces can already be considered destroyed.
…The repetition of the fate of Napoleon impossible, though — the irony! — we are opposing the Bolshevism that night, when Napoleon crossed the Russian border.
…The Fuhrer intends to erase from the face of the earth cities like Moscow, Kiev and St. Petersburg. And it is necessary! For if we want to dismember Russia into separate parts, this huge state should not have any spiritual, or political, or economic center.
…Moscow be wiped off the face of the earth, and in its place we will make a giant water reservoir in order to destroy all memory of this city and what it was.”

Letter of Lieutenant Ewald Lassen (July 2)
Dear brother Freddy! Everything is wonderful! Our company at first crossed the river Bug, and destroyed 3 border bunkers, and on the first day of fighting advanced 40 kilometers in…
It’s been already a week and a half as we have been fighting and moving forward. Raging fires are everywhere, and there are huge black pillars of smoke.
Any compassion towards the Russians is impossible, we exterminate fleeing Russians in huge quantities. There are thousands of corpses lying in the fields, on the roads and in the villages. No one removes or buries them. We should be glad that the führer fooled Stalin and hit sooner, than the Russians were prepared to repel our attacks, because if they were ready, the things wouldn’t go so well for us. Now it is clear that the outcome of the war is predetermined, and Russia sang it’s last song.
Every day confirms the words of the greatest of men our commander Adolf Hitler that this war is a crusade against the Bolsheviks and Jews is the most sacred of all wars in German history and for this reason we scarify everything.
What a joy to feel involved in the defeat of this state and its Red Army…

Letter from corporal troops “SS” Willie Steube (23 July)
Dear mother! Ukraine is a fabulously rich land, the fat black Ukrainian earth was created by God for the German ploughs. Ukraine could feed not only Germany, but all the annexed countries and territories.
We live here like gods. Chickens, geese, eggs, roast, butter, cream, sour cream, juices, wine, honey — every day.
But to take it from the hands of these dirty and sick people are dangerous and scary: I couldn’t put anything in your mouth they offer, so we take it all by yourself. It’s very simple, without much discussion, but following the German purity. If we want meat, we take an alive pig and slaughter it, the same with calf or geese. If we want fresh milk, we milk the cows. If we want honey, we get it right from its comb, and doing it so cleverly, that not a single bee would bite.
Right now my friend calls me, he opened a hive and I am dying to try fresh honey. We have every right to believe that all this wealth and abundance belongs to us. If someone does not like it, we just stick a gun between their teeth and they go silent. The same our soldiers do when they need a woman. As you know, while we’re here we don’t have to polite with this lowlifes. They are especially afraid of us the “SS” forces.
I feel like a winner every step of the way, it feels amazingly nice to show that we the Germans, are the lords and absolute owners of everything around us. I like this kind of life very much.

Letter from corporal Walter Koch (July 28)
My priceless treasure! For a month we advanced East 750 km, all goes according to the Fuhrer’s plan, and in August we should be in Moscow. After the surrender of Russia, it will be the British turn and then America’s.
The commander of our battalion, major Seifert is convinced that every Russian should be killed everywhere, and we have this task performed.
Tomorrow I’ll send you another parcel. I have prepared the following things.[A list of children clothes and household items follows.]
The blue, almost new suit for our little Puni, there are some blood stains. I’m sorry, my heart’s treasure, but we are in the field, to wouldn’t be that difficult for you to get rid of blood stains with the help of my uncle Herbert.
You wrote about some paintings in gilded frames and other art objects. I remember this all the time, but found nothing suitable so far. Nothing good or valuable, nothing you dream of for our cozy place.
I kiss both of you long and strong kiss.
Your daddy Walter

Letter from the head of a group of chroniclers chief-cameraman Otto Lange
The materials that we have sent demonstrate that you are totally missing out on one of the major issues in our propaganda.
You strive to capture the victorious advance of our troops and make it highly professional. However, you ignored the most important task. We should immediately, clearly and convincingly show to the German people and all of the Europe, that Soviet Russia is a multimillion assemblage of racially inferior and degenerat bastards: Jews and Asians, who represent a terrible danger to civilized humanity.
In this aspect, pay attention to the experience of Dr. Muller, who in Ukraine found in one mental hospital two dozen of mentally ill, and dressed them into the uniforms of commanders and commissars of the Red Army. He photographed them under different angles, dirty and unshaven, and created the whole gallery of disgusting, repulsive, aggressive idiots that makes a strong impression.
Also, what deserves your attention is the work of Dr. Hecker, of filming the civilian population near Minsk. For greater credibility he used accompanying text of the chronicles and make them look even more disgusting by dressing those civilians in rags: old sweaters, torn jackets. The men are unshaven, barefoot, in dirty shirts, without ties, holding their falling down pants, since he took their belts. Unkempt women with the brutal expression on the faces we made to hold axes and pitchforks. These images also evoked an active distaste and disgust.
Of course, there should not be a template, maybe you can create a variety of solutions. However, when photographing the Russian prisoners of war and local population it is necessary to try to show the ugliest of Jewish and Asian types, whose faces express anger and hatred and can cause in response only similar sentiments, and, above all, disgust and hatred.
I hope that my views expressed in this letter will help you in your productive future;
Heil Hitler!
Your Henry Demel.

From the letters of the Germans to the eastern front
To Ober-Lieutenant Heinz Heidenreich/ Neuhausen, June 29, 1941
My dear boy!
You participated in the battle for Smolensk? Three time I watched chronicled in “Vohenshau”. What a grandiose view! On the screen tanks were moving, guns rumbled, and our tanned, dusty, smiling young men in shirts with rolled elbow-length sleeves, among them I was hoping to see you my favorite person. And then the field that has been littered with corpses of Russians, and the columns of prisoners of war. Those horrible alive Russians, they look like beasts, just looking at these creatures we can see the horror, a horrible mob that you must fight! Their country is so terrible, so terrible that I don’t know how you and your soldiers are moving forward there.
When I see this on the screen, only then I realize what you, poor boys have to endure. However, I hope that the greatest challenges are already behind you, Moscow will fall soon and the war will end. I pray daily for your return. Send you greetings and kisses with a caring love — your mother.

to the Lieutenant Nola Franz (Munich, 19 July 1941)
My dear! I have received your letters No. 4 n No. 5, and No. 3 is still not here. Parcel No. 57 of June 30, No. 12 dated July 4, and No. 86 dated July 9, I got one too. The clothing and footwear from Russia do not have decent quality, clumsy and ugly. Do you think that I’m going to wear this?.. The Corporal Kurtof sent Mitzi three massive gold rings, pendant with large diamonds and fur of a beautiful silver fox. This has value. Mitzi gave me an advice: if you occasionally send gold and precious stones, to avoid possible hassles at the border, where the luggage of the soldiers are being examined quite carefully, it’s the best to stick jewelry into a bar of soap.
On the radio right now there is an emergency message broadcasting about new major victories in the East. This is epic! What a great happiness to be these days a German! Keep on, but be careful!
Your Elfriede.

To the Feldwebel Kurt Hesse (July 22, 1941)
My dear hubby! Now, the direct road to Moscow is opened. Moscow is a big city, with a huge number of prostitutes, dirty and contagious. I understand that a young, healthy man need a relief time from time. In two little parcels I’ve sent you 3 cakes, 2 apples, cookies, a bag of sausage, cigarettes, and 20 condoms. If you love me and little Rosie, don’t do anything without them. This should be enough for awhile.
I send you many greetings and passionate kisses.
Your wife Irma.

To the chief Leitenanta Richard Lange (Germic, July 30, 1941)
Dear boy! The newsreel that we watch 2-3 times a week, each time, horrified by an unprecedented poverty, abominable roads and unseemly types, with which you have to deal with. Oh, these terrible, criminal, stupid faces, apparently all Jews. And then some women with guns and pathetic, starving children, sick and infested with parasites. Whether these creatures and their entire criminal state has any right to exist?
Imagine, Richard, that on these territories there are people, or rather, the large apes that think that their bestial existence is the Paradise.
The movie theaters are filled starting with early morning. Every German wants to enjoy the sight of your victories in Russia and to see our enemies being brought to their knees. Even I, a kind middle-aged woman, a devout and exemplary Catholic, am getting a great satisfaction watching thousands of prisoners walking along the roads, these criminal types, and especially I enjoy the sight of countless corpses. I watch every newsreels for 3-4 times. Yeah, I’m not ashamed to say that the corpses of the enemies make me happy. It’s hard to accept the idea that such backward degenerate nation takes from us so many sacrifices. But this nation must be thrown away out of the history of the world like garbage, once and for all.
God bless you as He kept you in Poland, in Holland and in France.
Loving you to pieces your mother and grandmother.

Now you see who and why attacked us and invaded our Homeland! Judge for yourself what those “civilized Europeans” thought of us. Read what they wanted to do to us.! Do you think that today’s Europeans and Americans think about us differently? Do you think they would treat us humanly, if they are given a chance to attack us again? You would think wrong. Remember, what they have been doing in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yugoslavia, and Syria…

Newly released UN “Nazi Holocaust archives” show US & UK colluded with Third Reich to destroy Soviet Union
Veritas: ” It was an important piece of news that the UN had finally opened up the archives – despite US/UK trying to stop the info getting out. It also backs up everything that the site has always said.
I think the release of this information by the UN needs to be highlighted on the site. It is so important that everyone is aware – of course the MSM isn’t covering this……the Duran has highlighted it:
:…the Western governments, or at least powerful sections, were loath to hamper the Nazi war effort against the Soviet Union. Notwithstanding that the Soviet Union was a nominal «ally» of the West for the defeat of Nazi Germany.
This perspective harks to a radically different conception of the Second World War in contrast to that narrated in official Western versions. In this alternative historical account, the rise of the Nazi Third Reich was deliberately fomented by American and British rulers as a bulwark in Europe against the spread of communism. Adolf Hitler’s rabid anti-Semitism was matched only by his detest of Marxism and the Slavic people of the Soviet Union. In the Nazi ideology, they were all «Untermenschen» (subhumans) to be exterminated in a «Final Solution».
So, when Nazi Germany was attacking the Soviet Union and carrying out its Final Solution from June 1941 until late 1944, little wonder then that the US and Britain showed a curious reluctance to commit their military forces fully to open up a Western Front. The Western allies were evidently content to see the Nazi war machine doing what it was originally intended to do: to destroy the primary enemy to Western capitalism as represented by the Soviet Union.”

Very sadly I have to agree with you. Furthermore, I would add that there is no need for hypotheticals at all. Just look at the standing ovation the West gave to the Chechen Wahabis! Do you remember how the Wahabi terrorist leaders were wined and dined by all the western politicians? Then to the totally illegal international aggression against the Serbian people. Look at the hate campaign which accompanied this attack. Then look at total, blind, support Saakashvili got for his attack on Russia. But the true face of Europe was shown in the obscene love-fest the EU, all of it, had with the Urkonazis. And while the self-worshiping French sobbed about “Je Suis Charlie” I don’t recall ANY such sobbing over thousands of murdered freedom loving and anti-Nazi civilians in the Donbass!
The Ukronazis used chemical weapons, ballistic missiles, air attacks, MLRS strikes, EIDs – you name it, and what did they get for this? Money, weapons and a total political support.
The truth is stark as it is simple: if you kill Russians the West loves you. The past 8 or so centuries show that very, very convincingly.
Of course, the regular people in the West don’t necessarily feel this way, but they are silent, obedient and therefore accomplices too.
This is all very sad, utterly disgusting but still very true.
This will only end when the last western Empire finally dies away and the EU and US become “normal” countries again. But until the imperial worldview continues to infect the ethos of self-identity of the West this shall continue over and over again.
Thanks a lot, Scott, for that painful reminder. The truth about this needs to be told.
The Saker
regular people in the West don’t necessarily feel this way, but they are silent, obedient and therefore accomplices too.
I`m one of those Westerners, and it disgusts me and most of my peer group.
But what can we do? Voting does not work, the entire ruling class controls the narrative, Russia is denigrated every single day in the press and on TV! To challange the narrative means your dismissed as a Putin-bot?!?!
It horrifies me, again, what can be done?!!
I constantly tell people that I have a very different point of view. I also ask them where they do they get their information from. For any that are open, I suggest they look at The Saker. Some have actually woken up to the fact that all the mainstream media are propaganda organs.
By the way, I usually have to explain to them about Edward Bernais and Walter Lipmann and their creation of public relations and its use in WWI and thereafter constantly.
I find having people listen to William Engdahl’s material on the Gods of Money is also a good tool to wake folks up.
Very little can be done, indeed. The cancer metastasized to a degree of no return. “When you will see this, fly to the mountains”, said the Christ.
It horrifies me, again, what can be done?!!
Only one thing: speak up against it. It does not matter if you speak up in front of one trusted friend or before a demonstration of 100’000 people. What is crucial is to break the silent consensus on this issue. By refusing to look away from the truth of the matter and by voicing your opposition have will have an effect far in excess of what you will actually observe. The only way to take down that one is brick by brick, one brick at a time.
I hope that this helps.
Kind regards,
The Saker
Yea, one person responded with a type of ad homonym attack by comparing me to Barack Obama for having given up my previous belief in American Exceptionalism, as if Barack Obama was the devil himself..
I did manage to explain to another person about Russia’s paranoia perhaps having a basis from the many historical attacks on Russia from the west, and previously from the Mongols, and noting that Russia eventually had to solve the Mongol problem by conquering them over the centuries.
Most people are very thick headed and they actually allow themselves to be in the fake propaganda bubble they live in. Infact it appears they are scared of the Truth. They only speak and think in small anecdotes like ‘Russia is an evil country that should be put down at all costs/Muslims must be wiped off the face of the earth/The ‘west has always stood for truth and justice across the millenia and anyone who thinks otherwise is a paid agent’.
If the Truth has ever to rise in such phony times when propaganda rules supreme, we have to make it relatively easy for people like these. Handling detailed intellectual analysis of the messianic nature of the neo-cons and other “government officials” and their constant need for bloodlust and their constant ingrained Russo phobia would be very difficult to acknowledge for the average Joe/Jane who has been dumbed-down quite a bit.
What would you (and others here) suggest to at least begin the process for getting such simpletons (as far as political analysis is concerned which now a days also require some skill in monetary economics to see some semblance of the big picture) to board this train?
Nobody is really afraid of truth. But everybody dislikes and fears truth that hurts.
I’m sure that Saker doesn’t deny crimes against humanity Stalin did during his life. Churchill, Roosevelt, MacArthur, von Mannstein, Patton, Mannerheim, Zhukov…none of them had clean sheet.
I often do that ie. speak the truth whenever I think is necessary. Even at the cost of getting into strong arguments with acquaintances and “friends”. I realize that some of them change their views although slowly. Some of them are impossible to convince even with logical arguments then I realize that some of them are plainly rosophobic stealth neonazis then just t give up but I least I show them that I refuse to be brainwahshed, cheated by the MSM. Then I do not care about loosing some “friend” from time to time since I have a larege family.
There’s nothing as educating as military or huge economical catastrophy. Why? Because it will open window for necessary changes e.g social mobility. I don’t talk about genocide.
What can be said about nationalism? – Jimmy Reid got a point:
“Nationalism is like electricity. It can kill a man in the electric chair or keep a baby alive in an incubator.”
In EU and post modern western liberal world their “experts” however are studying nationalism as a carcer.
“What can be done?”
Ridicule the zombies the same way we did the freaks promoting the Vietnam war. Make sure to press the point home the sods are no different. Don’t be polite.
“What can be done?”
My answer amounts to thinly veiled contempt in the form of refined amusement — believe me, it’s immensely funny to tease the dullards with (easily recognizable) fake support of their views based on Western corporate mindrot.
And yet the Russian Europhiles were always much stronger than the Slavophiles. That feeling of the inferiority is ingrained in almost every Russian. Think of Peter the Great, think of St. Petersburg as the name for a Russian city, think of Russian policies all way up to the coup in Ukraine… And as it was before, it will be again.
Please note this is not Scott (Humor) but a commenter to the site. Please use another name. Thx. Mod
“That feeling of the inferiority is ingrained in almost every Russian. ”
No, we Russians don’t have any inferiority complex, as our military and political victories have proven.
St. Petersburg was named after Saint Peter, also known as Simon Peter, Simeon, or Simōn, according to the New Testament, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ,
And please, don’t use “scott” for comments, because there is one Scott here and its me.

The mantra of Russian “inferioriy complex” reflects the need of Westerners to believe in their own superiority, sorely dented.

Hardly, though we do live in a Anglo-Zionist-Nazi totalitarian system, and suffer countless deprivations as a result — moral, spritual, epistemological, the more the further down the social ladder we happened to be situated. You are carrying a heavy stone Saker, whilst walking in a glass house. I share your dismay but like so many others I no longer pay for cable television or go to see Hollywood blockbusters. There is only so much you can do to escape mass mind control but always you should be careful to distinguish between the programmers and programmees.
Plenty of us have developed an immune response to the ocean of propaganda, Russophobic or otherwise, though you might know it not travelling in your usual circles.
Pro Russian sentiment is incredibly strong, especially considering it exists in the face of a carefully managed 200 year campaign of fear and hatred waged by Anglo and Zionist elites, not to mention a millenia of prior works by the Papacy. This is the world to came into when you arrived as a White Russian refugee. Today you can very easily judge the intelligence, discernment and psychological independence of any person by asking them what they think of Russia, or of Vladimir Putin. Almost every person of every class answers these questions with at least attempted subtlety. Yesterday I heard a song by a popular rock band, about Bulgakov’s Master and Margarita, and every half educated person knows Doestevsky, Chekov, Gogol and Tolstoy, to name the most obvious examples. I have heard literally dozens of dinner conversations where someone wonders, as did Virginia Wolf, why Western culture is so comparatively coarse. Personally, I am still very often surprised by the number of people who have kept their senses despite being force fed a steady diet of Russophobia since birth. Russia has a unique place in Western consciousness and the effect is so strong that the Anglo elite Tavistock Institute of Human Relations invented Rossiya Segodnya, RT, to manage and manipulate the very large segment of society deemed to be Russophillic. Half of alternative media pushes the idea that Russia and Putin are the saviours of humanity and though this plotline is carefully manipulated by Anglo-Zionist elites, it is based on something very real. In Russia there is hope. You should not be so one sided in your appraisal nor should you forget your success is in part due to the very substantial nature of deeply ingrained pro Russian sentiment.
And Saker, you are permitted to speak, so long as you remain within certain bounds, while people like me are generally silenced, or more usually intimidated. You are tolerated by some and perhaps even negatively promoted by others, as when Harvard came out with it’s list of prohibited alt right disinfo sites favourable to ‘wrong’ opinions held by supporters of Donald Trump. The Catholic Church has been using the trick of banning to promote everything from witchcraft to birth control for a thousand or more years. Every new CIA-blogger startup now spams this site with praise for you and postings they have barely read. Russia is forbidden fruit, and nothing is so desired, so let’s keep this all in perspective. Nothing should be taken at face value by thoughtful persons such as you. You are attractive for a reason.
I have been visiting your blog for almost a decade and have never been silent, obedient nor an accomplice. Not here and not anywhere else. And see where it’s gotten me? It is difficult to be difficult, I have paid a price, but I recall your cri de couer regarding oppositional defiance and can confirm you have not yet reneged, though everything I cherish is still slipping away, but I will still congratulate you Saker, and thank you for your relatively patient attitude, and for very rarely silencing me, though I have issues with moderator-infiltrators (most awful accomplices of the machinery of political correctness) and the Sunstein Sayanim Legion which parks itself here, which you no longer mention or denounce. Apparently you also feel it necessary to tolerate, in the case of moderators even promote, these additional accoutrements after a decade of mostly outspoken blogging.
So yes, we all make adjustments.
Long ago I was banned from mainstream websites though I was a good deal more measured at websites like those of the Guardian or Globe and Mail. Today my email is marked for exclusion while comments once deemed harmless or innane often vanish. Sunstein’s Sayanim are bolder than ever and so are the ‘volunteer’ mods, everyone of whom is a Zionist to the core of his being.
So no, I do not blame the victims, and note the size of their pie has shrinken considerably over the last 10 to 50 years, and they are afraid.
Yet you shift back and forth, seeming to excuse anything Donald Trump and his fellow vampires do to these poor suckers, who you call accomplices, while the Donald gets light treatment, even after sharing chocolat cake with Xi Xinping and bombing the hell out of Syria as a digestif.
Gawd I love to ramble. I think you get my point.
Comment Referred: Does the Saker wish to continue with this discussion?(DG)
Question Mr. Saker. What if the “imperial” threat from the West is suddenly gone, that Trump manages to “drain the Swamp” and that Trump and Putin kiss and make up, what is to prevent Russia from revisiting her own imperial past?
The fact that that past costs Russia a huge HUGE price in killed, maimed, poor, and otherwise mistreated people, that Russia lost huge resources, that the Russians had their fundamental freedoms take away and that they often lived in fear. Empires are bad for the people and nations who host them. That is a simple truth that the Russians have learned. This is why there is no constituency for Empire in Russia whatsoever (well, maybe a 1% lunatic fringe with IQs under 80). The Russian society is a post-imperial one. Once you cross that threshold there is no way back. The Russians don’t want an Empire because they think it is bad for others. They don’t want an Empire because they believe that it is bad for THEM.
The Saker
Remember that it was only in 1904 that Russia mercilessly and ruthlessly pushed 10,000 Chinese men, women and children into the Amur River to drown. Russia did this despite its treaty commitments in the 1858 Treaty of Aigun by which the Chinese ceded most of the territory north of the Amur River but retain about 3000 square kilometers with 64 Chinese villages. By the same treaty, Russia had recognised the right of the villagers to hold and reside in the territory in perpetuity. Later China renounced its rights to that territory. But my point is that what’s to prevent Russia from doing what she currently accuses the West of doing to her if the imperial threat from the West is suddenly no more? After all, even during USSR times, it was eyeing the warm water port of Arthur, formally Port Arthur.
I know that Soviet Union was not just the government, but an ordinary people. And here were the tragedy starts, because I don’t see Bolsheviks any better than Nazis, actually they are worse. If there were no 1917 revolution perhaps the history would be different.
Your comment is quite ignorant. It may help for you to study a bit of history…
At some leftist party, years ago, friend, I said loudly some silly opinion I then held – mouthing the canonical line – and a young Iranian man softly remarked to me: “You wouldn’t say that if you knew more about it.”
This mild criticism obviously made a strong impression…
Just thought it worth remembering, as it is more liable to be heard and have effect that saying “ignorant” – though of course that’s precisely what it means…
But in salient observation, I too got the impression from comrade VVP that he’s just about out of room, and would much rather not fight…and sees hotwar as probable and proximate… Just my impression from body language and tone…
Thank you LZ99. This is a very useful piece of advice – and also to mbfromnm above who too is suggesting ways to educate our beloved and sadly dis-informed friends.
As for Putin, I don’t think he’s at any personal limits. I think the stakes are high and he may be tense. He was solemn at Victory Day and didn’t mince words – commentators noticed this. But Putin is both a judoka and a man who draws his strength from humility, balance, and the life of the people. I don’t think he’s out of room. I don’t think Russia is out of room either – they’re actually now beginning to work the US administration, like butter rubbed into leather, softening it up. Not to argue with you, just to offer some sunnier thoughts :)

By the time the fascist Europe invaded Russia, the Bolshevism (1917-1933) was mostly defeated by Stalin and other Russian officers in the government and military. To understand the difference, just look at Russia now. It is not what the country was in the 90s under the globalists’ rule.
Their leaders were gone, dead or incarcerated for their crimes against humanity. The Bolsheviks were the first globalists’ project. They came and murdered 18 million Russian people during the Red Terror, before they were overthrown.
As soon as it became clear to the West that people in Russia overthrew the Bolsheviks’ rule, they started the preparation for the world war, because they needed the economic power of an entire Europe to defeat Russia.
The Nazi Germany was the second globalists’ project to make two strongest nations to collide and to kill each other. Let’s not forget that 10 million Germans had dies as the result of this war.
Now, the situation is the same. Russian people overthrew the globalists liberal rule of the 90s, and now the globalists are getting ready for the WWIII, using the U.S. military power against Russia this time around.
I listened to Putin’s speech and I had chills, because he looks so sad and so resolute. He just tells us that the war is practically inevitable.
Scott,
Some of my dilemmas have been answered, thanks. It makes sense that the globlists are not loyal to anyone or nation but to themselves by setting one group/nation against another. The globalists consist of both zionists and West. Notice, it seems anglozionists are the trouble makersbut then Germans are included in here. I believe, the globalists consist of both zionists and parts of the West
Why don’t you said Birdemberg instead of West?
Anglozionist +Birbemberg fits better.
I think the term West is only the Russian point of view.
And this blog is not for Russian people so this description doesn’t help in my opinion.
Zico: I sensed that what you were referring to as Birdemberg was what some of us think of as the Bilderberg Group. Upon checking, this assumption is correct, and consequently your point is well made.
In trying to make a correlation with Birdemberg, I also came up with something that gave partial background to a personal question, posed several years ago (ironically on a BBC comment section): what happened to the great family fortunes of Venice? The following article provided some interesting details about Birdemberg (Bilderberg), and “the merchants of Venice”:
http://www.nocensura.com/2012/03/il-club-bilderberg-la-storia-segreta.html
Since the first US edition of The True Story of the Bilderberg Group made its explosive appearance in September 2005, many things have changed in the era of global power politics. At the time we lived in a unipolar world with only one center of authority and one center of strength. At the end of 2011 things are clearly different.
We no longer live in a world with a single military master. The threat that today’s humanity faces comes from the usurpation of power by leaders of financial terrorism; the crazy final stage of a project that has lasted for centuries and aims to neutralize the astonishing success of the conquests of the Council of Florence of 1439-1440, which had provisionally reunited the eastern and western rites of the Christian Church.
At that time, the Council of Florence set in motion a revolution within the political institutions that governed the world and who had their own center in the national state of Venice, and in the Venetian black nobility. Following the implosion of the debt bubble in 1345, and the resulting destruction of Venice’s merchant empire, in 1582 the Venetian oligarchy agreed to transform the British Isles into a new base of global financial and maritime power.
In the second half of the 20th century, this totalitarian enemy project was named “Bilderberg Group”. Since the publication of The True Story of the Bilderberg Group, the term Bilderberg has made its entry into the English language, becoming part of the lexicon, such as Ground Zero. It also ended up having different meanings for different people. Some have misrepresented Bilderberg in an absolutely silly way, presenting it as a “malignant eye that sees everything, a conspiracy of the black man.” Others see it as a monolith, a group of powerful characters who meet in dark rooms, in closed rooms, seated at a round table, holding hands and staring at a crystal ball, sharply planning the conquest of the world.
None of these definitions approaches the reality of the organization now known as Bilderberg. Here is a test for all those who disagree with me. On your left there are the artists of Bilderberg, allied to each other for this and for that purpose; and to your right there is History, which embraces the last 2500 years, from the time of Plato and Socrates to our day. How were these characters able to influence the major world events, so as to interfere with a particular course of human history by guiding the power of world strategists?
You see, those who choose the easy way out with affirmations of the kind “Bilderberg told this and that individual to do this and that, to get this or that goal” live in a world populated by fake childish plots that have been ordained by experienced conspirators. This is populist and insignificant nonsense born of underdeveloped minds.
That said, the Bilderberg group was founded by circles linked to a former member of the Nazi Party, Prince Bernhard of Holland (who resigned from the Nazi Party to marry the Dutch princess). It was an organization sponsored by the Anglo-Dutch Monarchy, explicitly sponsored by the Royal English and Dutch Consorts, and typically falls into a network that partially coincides with the same concert of international interests in finance, in the form of a network of private banking institutes, such as Lazard Frères today. Behind the establishment of fascist regimes in Europe between 1922 and 1945 it was precisely this bank, whose activities were aimed at an attempt to establish a world-wide system of international fascism under the cover of “globalization”, which is simply another term for empire.

[Note: this has created a new stream of personal study for me.]
Nazi Germany and Hitler failed to crush USSR.
But Michael Gorbachev managed to destroy USSR (and eastern bloc socialist countries) in less than 4 years and without a war.
Russia was safe when the eastern bloc alliance existed. There were thousands Soviet troops in east Germany, which was a loyal state to USSR.
Gorbachev gave east Germany with a promise that no NATO troops will enter E. Germany. NATO troops may have not stationed in east Germany, but they are all around Russia’s borders.
Nowadays, Ukraine is controlled by CIA. The baltic states are fully integrated colonies of the West (EU, EURO, NATO). Eastern European states are now controlled by the West.
Gorbachev and his gang gave all eastern Europe to the West. For what? To make pizza commercials?
Not only this, but with his actions he destroyed the global communist movement and reintroduced capitalism into Russia with destructive results. In western countries, workers parties degenerated into neoliberal ones, and the western welfare states were slowly dismantled, with poverty, inequality and unemployment becoming very common in the so called “developed” First World countries.
The current dominance of multinational corporations happened thanks to the Soviet collapse.
Oil prices collapsed 1986. USSR could not afford to prop up GDR which was bust in 1972 and only saved buy OPEC Crisis 1973 and Iranian Revolution 1978. No prospect of reviving USSR economy if GDR etc draining all capital. Andropov knew that.
Yeltsin pulled USSR apart by removing RFSSR to usurp Gorbachev
It is a fact that several eastern european socialist states had trouble with their rising debt levels and introduced austerity measures in the 1980s (Romania, Poland, Yugoslavia etc). They borrowed money from western banks in the 1960s-1970s and the rise of interest rates in the late 1970s caused them problems.
But the collapse of USSR and eastern bloc was not a matter of oil prices or debt.
GDR was highly industrialised and had the most advanced economy in the eastern bloc. USSR was a military and economic superpower with abundant natural resources.
It was a matter of politics.
Gorbachev withdrew support from the “hard-line” GDR leadership (Honecker etc) causing their overthrow and then allowed the “reunification” ( which will be impossible if Soviet leadership had refused – there were hundreds of thousands of soviet soldiers in East Germany). In the meantime, the relaxation of political and state controls in soviet Union caused severe problems in the economy.
But everything could have been avoided.
Why then Cuba and North Korea have managed to survive the end of USSR ?
They survived even though they suffered severe recession (Cuban Special period and North Korean Arduous March) as there was a disintegration of their economic relations with the USSR/Eastern Bloc in the 1990s (the same also happened in Russia and most Eastern European countries which introduced capitalism).
Both North Korea and Cuba were a lot more underdeveloped and poor than East Germany and USSR. They were politically and economically isolated in the 1990s and they lose billions in soviet aid and trade, they had to find alternative partners and were under various American and western sanctions. But they survived ! And more or less they have still maintained a soviet-style state owned centrally planned economic system. There were changes of course as Cuba allowed tourism (and the operation of some small scale private businesses) and North Korea opened up a few special economic zones where foreign corporations invested.
USSR could have survived up to this day and Eastern Bloc too.
* It is very interesting how professor of Russian/Soviet studies Stephen Cohen answers the question of soviet dissolution
Stephen Cohen. Why Did the Soviet Union End?
http://www.gorby.ru/en/presscenter/news/show_28867/
GDR economy was backward……believe me, I saw it first hand. It had women hand scooping ice cream into tubs. It had primitive Robotron computers. It burned lignite to sell Soviet oil for hard currency. It sold blood from prisoners to Western transfusion agencies. It was primitive.
If you look at the Thatcher Archives there is a meeting where Shevardnadze proposes the USSR taking down the Berlin Wall itself to offload the costs of propping up the GDR. Talk to GDR citizens of the period and the empty HO Laden with military stores being emptied to put soap in the shops.
The system collapsed. Go onto YouTube and look at RTL for “Weimar hospital” and see just how advanced the GDR was
You think they had primitive technology because you compare the current technology with what was available then in the 1980s. By that standards, the West was also “primitive” and technologically backwards then.
Check a British TV series called life on Mars about a guy transferred back in the 1970s. Everything will seem primitive by our modern standards.
What we take for granted now, was not available then. And many things that were granted then, are not available now ( free education, healthcare, housing, jobs).
Very few people had mobile phones or personal computers in most western countries. Many cars did not even have seatbelts for the back passengers. There was no internet. There was limited choice in clothing or retail products. There were a lot less restaurants and bars and people rarely eat outside home.
GDR did not collapse economically and did not have any serious problems. It could even compare favourably to western allied capitalist countries such as Greece, Portugal, (parts of) Spain or Southern Italy. Of course it was more backwards compare to W Germany , but offered other advantages to the population and it’s economy was steadily advancing. W. Germany was no paradise either, it was built on massive us aid and by the importation of millions of cheap migrant labour ( Turks, Spaniards, Italians, Greeks, Yugoslavs etc).
What followed the GDR dissolution was a socioeconomic mayhem. There was a massive de industrialisation and depopulation. The western German elites closed down GDR
industry so that the West German brands will dominate the eastern market. The gap between west and east is not closing and could not be closed now. Without the fear of eastern communism and the rise of neoliberalism,
the West German welfare state came to an end (from the period of Schroeder etc). Millions live in insecurity and unemployment in Germany today.
The same happens all around eastern and Southern Europe nowadays. Within eu, there are no trade restrictions and the countries of the periphery have ended up in a semi colonial status and their industrial base has been decimated.
Large multinational corporations (especially German ones) buy companies and brands from Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Czech etc and then they close their factories to eliminate competition. Then they sell the German made in China products in these markets.
XCV,
“Nazi Germany and Hitler failed to crush USSR…..
But Michael Gorbachev managed to destroy USSR (and eastern bloc socialist countries) in less than 4 years and without a war.”
This is absolutely true. The enemy within is the greatest danger than outside enemy. Globalists have come to realization that without one drop of blood, military, money and energy to spend from them, all they need is hire individuals/groups from their targeted nation.
Saker,
I have now Idea if that is important but here in Vilnius just landed a E4 Nightwatch and a Globemaster III.
Can’t put the pictures on but have them if you are interested!
Best regards
Soldat82
I strongly advise you against taking or, even less so, sending out such photographs, especially in Vilnius. The locals are probably desperate to find some “Russian agent” and can cook up some really crazy story based on your comment alone. Before you realize it, they will call you an FSB General, a personal friend of Putin, and a super secret super dooper spy. Sad, but these are the times we live in. So be very very careful. Also, and just to cheer you up, I can promise you that those who would need to know already know. They don’t need our help :-)
Kind regards,
The Saker
Without US support the nazis would have never been able to attack Russia. After WW2 US support for the nazis continued to wage war against Russia.
“Hitler’s American Business Partners”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMKnH2BlkBA
“The outbreak of war in September 1939 resulted inevitably in the full conversion by GM and Ford of their Axis plants to the production of military aircraft and trucks…. On the ground, GM and Ford subsidiaries built nearly 90 percent of the armored “mule” 3-ton half-trucks and more than 70 percent of the Reich’s medium and heavy-duty trucks. These vehicles, according to American intelligence reports, served as “the backbone of the German Army transportation system.”….
After the cessation of hostilities, GM and Ford demanded reparations from the U.S. Government for wartime damages sustained by their Axis facilities as a result of Allied bombing… Ford received a little less than $1 million, primarily as a result of damages sustained by its military truck complex at Cologne… ”

“Author Snell says that Nazi armaments chief Albert Speer told him in 1977 that Hitler “would never have considered invading Poland” without synthetic fuel technology provided by General Motors.”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/daily/nov98/nazicars30.htm
“U.S. investment in Germany accelerated rapidly after Hitler came to power, despite the Depression and Germany’s default on virtually all of its government and commercial loans. Commerce Department reports show that U.S. investment in Germany increased some 48.5 percent between 1929 and 1940, while declining sharply everywhere else in continental Europe.”

How would GM have “synthetic fuel technology” as opposed to Du Pont which owned GM at the time? You forgot ITT which had a stake in Focke Wulff and did get compensation.
Very surprised you forgot the Bush Family and Brown Bros. Harriman
Just a small tip whom you think supplied the soviet union with the technology for their tanks,
trucks, engines etc. Yes of course the same banksters whom played both sides. Never let us
forget what the bolsheviks did to their own ppl they slaughtered in the most sadistic way their
own country ppl as their hatred for for these christians was and is very intens. The communists
were in fact all khazarians/jews financed by the rotschidt banksters to establish a central bank and
plunder all russia,s resources. Read and watch the sign of the scorpio of Jura Lina and others..
England invaded with the soviet Union Iran begin 1941 but until now this is kept out of the media
with all might as it would change the perception of the innocent soviet union. No the soviet union really was on a path for global dominance. Let us not look at one side only.
Ford built the Kamaz truck plant. Anthony Sutton wrote good books detailing technology transfer from West to USSR
Butthurt Westerners such as Paul Greenwood tend to find Soviet achievements unpleasant — with very good reason. If the Soviets were so inferior to the glorious West, one would certainly had expected the latter to be pioneering space exploration. Rule of thumb: To Western supremacists, any success taking place outside the West in whatever realm has to be either slandered or, preferably, “explained” as owing to Western ingenuity.
How people in the west can be so blind to the absolute undeniable racism towards Russia and Russians is beyond my comprehension. Can these villification meme bubbles never expand to the point they burst? Is there no cognitive dissonance eating away in this Orwellian nightmare that could presage the extinction of life on earth?
Here’s today’s fairly tame Victory Day article from the Canadian regime’s Globe&Mail -but just look at all the spin and twists:
Russia brings out its big Arctic guns for show of strength
“In its annual celebration of defeating Nazi Germany, Russia showcased military hardware designed for Arctic combat, as Moscow flexes its military muscle and vies for dominance in the North with Canada, the U.S. and Norway”
“Smaller parades were held in cities across Russia, in Ukraine’s Crimea Peninsula, which Russia annexed three years ago”
“People watch tanks of pro-Russian rebels parading in the center of Donetsk during the Victory Day parade on May 9, 2017”
At least they didn’t call them terrorists; however it is clear with refence to Crimea that both Canada and the Globe&Mail do not support referendums (or democracy) even one as overwhelming as Crimea’s.
Why? Because they are essentially Russians and Russians are today’s untermensch.
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/russia-brings-out-its-big-arctic-guns-for-victory-day-show-ofstrength/article34929258/
Yes, Canada is fully infected with Russophobia, odd in a multi-cultural country where one the worst social crimes is being a racist. But it’s not just ok, but obligatory to hate Russians.
There are a lot of ethnic Ukrainians, German Diaspora Latvians, Lithuanians, etc. in Canada.
I expect the former exert the same types of political pressures as these groups do in the US, as pointed out in an article at this blog some time ago.

Let’s just remember what Hemingway wrote about canadians:
“Canadians are all tapettes (gasbags) at heart underneath all the big free open spaces. There are no gigolos because no old women have money. Otherwise they would all be. It is a dreadful country.”
Ernest Hemingway Selected Letters 1917-1961
I can assure you, noting much has changed.
Cheers to all!
Happy Victory Day!
This was just before he went out to the woodshed with the 12 gauge and a bottle of wild turkey, right?
A very quotable fellow indeed.
Regards to all on Victory Day thank you the Russia and the soviet allies for their sacrifice.
Thanks for this article, lots to digest and think about
I have to disagree. USSR cooperated with Germany 1919-33 in circumventing Versailles Treaty and helping Germany re-arm, building tanks, aircraft, testing poison gas on Soviet territory. Hitler stopped this cooperation 1933.
USSR invaded Poland 17 Sept 1939 and UK did not declare war on USSR yet had 14 days earlier on Germany for same action. USSR moved its front line troops forward rather than into defensive positions.
USA was neutral. UK was at war. Poland was dismembered. Stalin was offered India to sign Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, he wanted Denmark. Hitler was shipping weapons to Stalin as part of the deal. The British were isolated from this particular deal.
Stalin had his warnings from Richard Sorge inter alia and ignored them. As for not fighting wars on Russian soil – I agree – but most of the last one was on Ukrainian SSR soil. Belarus was Eastern Poland with towns like Grodno – but Stalin seized them and deported people to Siberia in cattle trucks especially Army officers are reservists with NKVD going house to house to round them up.
Stalin made lots of errors but survived. Millions paid for his errors including his own son.
Stalin is popular in today’s Russia (he was never unpopular to begin with). It’s Westerners that have this peculiar urge to forever damn and slander him for mutually exclusive reasons; the most amusing example being “Stalin the antisemite monster worse than Hitler” (Western liberals) vs. “Stalin the Jew lackey” (Western Nazis). Westerners are totally unconcerned with consistency — or, rather, they are: Russophobia at all costs.
Paul Greenwood
Right before the war, the government tried to move the borders as much to the West as possible.
People from the Western parts of Russia who were relocated to Siberia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan had a chance to survive the war. The majority of those who remained in those areas didn’t survive.
Stalin tried to save as many people as possible. It was the massive effort by the state to relocate people from the West to the East of Russia, Many people didn’t want to move because they didn’t know and understand what was coming, but Stalin, being a deeply religious Christian man knew.
Again, those who were relocated had a chance to survive.
About this “cattle trucks” meme that is the favorite of the Western historians. Back then, this sort of trains were the main means of transportation in Russia. For many people to catch a train to the East of the country was the only way to survive,
“Stalin, being a deeply religious Christian”
You must be kidding. His deeds confirm just the opposite. He should be in the same coffin with Hitler.
Wrong — Churchill should be. A total degenerate committed to racism, genocide, and drug abuse.
So what about those people such as the Cossacks from Kuban that were “relocated” to Siberia. Was it as free settlers or as prisoners?
Yes your sarcasm is amusing but you forgot to explain why after 17 Sept 1939 Polish Citizens suddenly became subject to Stalin and why NKVD removed so many Poles to Siberia later murdering their officers at Katyn and facing a problem when Churchill wanted the Anders Poles released to fight for Britain in the Middle East and they had no officers !
Paul Greenwood speaks perfect Westish, invoking the standard Stalin/Hitler hyperbole and all the usual “talking points” that go with it.
Poor little innocent Poland stole territories from Russia in 1920 – 1921 and then from Czechoslovakia in 1938. Got their reward all right. As regards the “Katyn” affair: Get over it. Even though a Pole might have problems grasping this, soldiers do tend to get killed when there’s a giant conflagration ravaging the area.
A different view:
LIBERATION of WESTERN UKRAINE & BELORUSSIA
“On September 17, 1939 the Russians entered Polish occupied Western Ukraine and Byelorussia and freed 6,000,000 Ukrainians, Russians, and Belorussians from Polish rule. They greeted their Russian liberators with joy. The Curzon Line was established after WWI and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It accurately defined the boundaries between Poland and the Ukraine and Byelorussia. During the Russian Revolution and Civil War of 1917/1921 the Poles attacked and moved east of the Curzon Line by approximately 125 miles. For a period of 20 years they ruled over a population of 6,000,000 non Polish people. The present border approximates the Curzon Line established after WWI.”
This from: http://russia-insider.com/en/military/greatness-russian-soul-incredible-how-red-army-defeated-nazi-germany/ri19663
Like I say, knowing history usually helps…
Confirmation of everything one suspected: deliberate genocide of Russians by Nazis with Western complicity. But the letters from ordinary people, to and from the front, lay bare the evil that lies dormant in the human heart, ready to be awakened by inflammatory propaganda. Such inhuman letters from such nice, sentimental, family oriented people! No wonder Putin understands the danger that Syria faces; because Russia faced – and is still facing – the same danger.
You may think this a silly question, but on which side are those uniformed women-in-wwii? Russian or German? I guess they might be Russian from their modest uniforms and spontaneous gaiety, but their physiognomy is definitely northern Germanic. “We are citizens of the same city, and that city is the world”.
” the evil that lies dormant in the human heart, ready to be awakened by inflammatory propaganda”
Great simple truth, but Russia’s decisiveness patience might do the difference.
Well, there is a certain amount of Nordic heritage in the Russians from the ancient Kievan Rus Vikings, along with Slavic, Tater, and finno-ugaric mixtures.
Knowing how it ended for the Germans, It was a pleasure reading those letters and realizing how hateful and criminal these people were. I suggest that next time a western country tries something funny with Russia (especially if it’s Germany) to just wipe it off the face of the earth as an example and warning to the rest of them. I’m not Russian but always had a soft spot for the country especially now with president VVP.
I really hope it never comes down to this, but apparently they will never stop harassing Russia.
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me…
I wouldn’t agree with that (though I understand the feeling). Most of those Germans were the same as today’s brainwashed Westerner’s. Fed centuries of anti-Russian propaganda. Even Stalin recognized that when he said ” Hitlers may come and go. But the German people,remain”. I do think though that half way measures can’t be permitted again.If Western Europe must be liberated it will mean “all of it this time”. And the criminal elements will need to be eliminated completely. Russia and the World can’t afford to let this happen again,over and over.
Finally we are all on the same page! Even the western commentators on this page become agitated when I show up calling for a pre-emptive strike on Poland, baltics, and Ukraine.
a 100,000 strong strike force should penetrate to lvov, and into Poland. I think it is time for our enemies to witness real aggression, the kind they rant and rave about on media.
Why have the army in Russia? The US has 700 military bases worldwide and we should think about defending Russia from outside of Russia, which is why they have an ABM system in Europe- to prevent our retaliation strikes. We should move into Ukraine with a strong hammer, but we want to time it with the financial collapse… but this strategy is not right because they will not wait, like barbarossa they are coming fast. Sooner is better and in baltics we move in and self defense forces can capture US troops and charge them with war crimes as the Ukrainians did with novorossiyan troops. I feel like zhukov also saw the enemy coming and he could not convince stalin of the necessity to pre-empt the german attack, we can absorb the attack in Kiev and Riga, better there than in Moscow
Yes, but a land offensive by British, American, French or German troops on Russia is unlikely to happen. They would prefer to get Eastern European and perhaps Turkish troops to have a go, and then only if the cannon fodder makes some headway would the British, American, French and German troops get involved. And the cannon fodder can’t put together anything even nearly comparable or capable to what the Nazi’s launched against Russia with Operation Barbarossa – “153 divisions, 600,000 of motorized units, 3580 tanks, 7184 guns, 2740 aircraft”
The same with major land offensives on Iran or North Korea, the NeoCon’s would much prefer it if others could do the hard work for them.
So with a land offensive on Russia being out of the question for now (at least until such time as the Islamists (Sunni’s) manage to multiply the number of Muslims in Europe by consensual or non-consensual means), the only real option on the table against Russia is a nuclear missile strike.
The challenges in Syria, Iran and North Korea are just interim diversions for the NeoCon’s while they deliberate their chances with a nuclear strike against Russia, maybe they’ll just nuke Iran and North Korea instead since the conventional missile strikes against Syria amounted to nothing. Hopefully if the US nukes Iran then Russia would nuke Poland and / or if the US nukes North Korea then China would nuke South Korea or something like that, certainly some equivalent response would be mandatory.
But even when the financial collapse comes its doubtful if Russia would even bother to get a bit more aggressive then. The Russian bear seems very content in its cave, too content maybe.
Thanks for the video, Scott! Every time I hear Вставай страна огромная, I feel ants running on my skin. Eternal glory to the heroes who brought down nazism, eternal glory to victorious SSSR and its people!

“Adolf Hitler’s rabid anti-Semitism was matched only by his detest of Marxism and the Slavic people of the Soviet Union.”
According to Herr Hitler himself, he studied Marx’s writings meticulously, and was eventually able of defeating any Marxists hands down by trashing their arguments. In one way, that does sound plausible: Weimar Germany’s Marxists were overwhelmingly pro-Russia/USSR; Marx like Hitler was an ardent, committed Russophobe (and a Euro-chauvinist overall). Unlike Hitler, however, Marx didn’t put Germany above the rest of Western Europe, North America, and the Zionist movement — hence the Nazi animosity towards Marxism.
One correction: Finland had 16 divisions and 2 brigades in summer 1941. In case of Finno-Russo Winter War there are few remarks i must mention:
1) Treaties of Tartu: the border line was absolutely to near Petrograd (Sankt Petersburg, Leningrad), even Ludendorf of German noticed it in 1918.
2) Perhaps with some few exceptions (Mannerheim, Paasonen, Ståhlberg) Finnish politicians couldn’t understand the role of Finland as everlasting buffer state for Russia. Amazingly this thing was much better understood in Finland during 1800’s. Younger generation nationalists had lost all sense of geopolitics there.
3) Western powers (Britain and France) playing game with Finland as tin soldier during Winter War 1939-40
4) Göring to Finns in mid Feb 1940: “make peace with the Soviet Union. I guarantee that near in future you will get all the areas you’ve lost and even more.”
In case of Finland we see certain method of western powers. They promise so much, incite to “fight” and be “patriot” but then just dump their puppet and go away. Mannerheim was seriously suggesting military alliance with Soviet Union much before Winter War but he was totally undermined by pro western guys like Erkko. So far no historians have found any information suggesting that even Churchill would have recommend Finland to 1) make peace with USSR 2) make military alliance with USSR.
Among mainstream historians in Finland there is great consensus that foreign minister Eljas Erkko played huge role guiding Finns to tragedy of Winter War. In many ways he was like his Polish equivalent – Bock.
When Alexander I created the “Grand Duchy of Finland” and made it an autonomous part of the Russian Empire . He took some areas that already belonged to Russia. And added them to that Duchy. That brought the Finnish border close to St Petersburg. Had he not done that.There wouldn’t have been that problem. But since he assumed the Duchy would always be part of the Empire he didn’t think it mattered. In some ways he made the same mistake Lenin made in splitting off Ukraine and Belarus into to separate republics from Russian territory. As long as the USSR was a united state the Soviets didn’t think it mattered.In both cases history proved those to be the wrong choices.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kexholm_County#/media/File:Finnish_counties_1812.jpg
The area on the map # 13 was the previous Russian territory added to the Grand Duchy by Alexander I.
Did Putin mentioned anything Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact?
War is a racket where, big profits are made. People are stupid; easily persuaded to do things as a crowd that, as an individual, they would never do!
As a child, we naturally follow what our parents tell us. We must challenge our beliefs, as we mature; remembering that: once you believe it, then you will see it.
As humans, we tend to reinforce our pet beliefs by, seeing and hearing only stuff that we have already convinced ourselves, is true. Rarely do we ask ourselves: is it true?
I have learned that, if the crowd believes something, they are usually wrong. Someone else has programmed their heads and, they perceive it not!

My entrance into the Vineyard
When you enumerated the European nations that attacked USSR, you omitted Russians.
One million of Russian patriots fought against hated Stalins tyrany. Even some prominient White emigrees joined their ranks, such as famed Pavel Krasnov with his Cossack troops.
While it is undeniable that Generalplan Ost was genocidally aimed against Slavs (all of us Slavs, not only Russians), many who volunteered to join Hitlers invading armada were not motivated by hatred of Russian nation. Pavel Krasnov surely was not.
That is absolutely true.
The Saker
Oh, these loving husbands, dads, wives and mothers! How sweet! I suspect this whole “Jewish” thing was a hoax – to identify Russians with Bolsheviks and Bolsheviks with Jews to make it pure extasy to eliminate them. Yes, they will do it again. Back then , they would identify Russians with Jews to make them fun to kill. Now they will be trying to identify Russians with terrorists and what not. These are exactly the same people going to war against Russia, again. Exactly the same. The whole thing is repeating itself, only we are in a worse position. ISIS was supposed to be the new reich. That and ukraine plus the benevolent east europeans. The merkins aren’t going to fight with their own hands. They will use proxies, of course. The ukrainian nazis will be our concentration camp hangmen and supervisors. Americans will only rush in to control the nuclear sites and the natural resources. Etc.
A Holy Day!
Did hear Putin’s speech – and felt a definite change in his tone. Much more resolved, much less patient – with almost anger (at the senselessness of it all, I suppose)
This is a good war summary:
http://russia-insider.com/en/military/greatness-russian-soul-incredible-how-red-army-defeated-nazi-germany/ri19663
The US and UK stopped sharing military intelligence with the USSR from late 1943 – early 1944. The information was gleaned from captured German POWs and would have formed valuable tactical information. They also did not inform the Soviets that the Luftwaffe had broken their ciphers. The Anglo-Zionists wanted the germans and the Russians to grind each other to dust.
By 1943, Field Marshall Sir Alan Brooke (who loathed the ‘semi-Asiatic race with innate bargaining instincts’) had concluded that Soviets were the next enemy.
Aldrich, Richard J. (2001) The Hidden Hand: Britain, America and Cold War Secret Intelligence.
WWII was never about the nazis or their so called war of aggression against the world. The nazis were nothing more than a western anglo/zionist tool to destroy Russia and Germany.
The banksters financed Hitler – the Austrian corporal ready blindly lead Germany into oblivion.
Who in their right mind would invade Russia?…Of course the nazis propaganda villan would when total destruction is the end.
Now in the ever stupid present the goal is once again the same – only on a much bigger scale. A war with Russia and China is exactly what the zionists want. Chaos and death are the primary motivator of the occultists. Destruction of Russia and China brings the added bonus of killing the host. The US is now a spent force and must be sacrificed before it finally turns on the parasites. Ultimately the globalists want a feudal planet and any cost is acceptable with genocide of the human race and the remainders as slaves.
However, not all the elites are with this program – there is a chilling realization that there will not be any room in the bunkers for the goyim – no matter how much money they have.
I suspect that a Putinesque purge as per the early 2000’s is coming sooner than we expect to the rest of the planet.
The wave of overwhelming resistance is coming from the East!
Well to name a few,the Poles countless times,the Teutonic Knights,Lithuanians in their strong period,Mongols,Ottoman Turks and other Turkish states,the Swedes in their glory days,Napoleon,the Kaiser and Austria-Hungary,Hitler and his European allies. And remember that was only a few I can think of. So there were a number of those “in their right mind”. That thought they could succeed. The most successful (for a while) were the Poles,Lithuanians,and especially the Mongols. But in the end (even if it was hundreds of years) they failed. The situation today is to not let the “new” potential invaders succeed for even a minute.
I question the authenticity of these letters. I see everybody defends Soviet invasion of Finland and Baltic states, justify invasion of Poland and deportation of people. You are simply propagandists.
No I do not support West stance towards Russia, nor yours towards your “bu****it” about Stalin and Soviet Union. Bolsheviks’ Soviet Union is, was and will be a dark stain in Russian history at least outside Russian borders. You cannot change history so please don’t make clowns from yourself.
The letters are authentic
http://www.veteranstoday.com/2015/10/09/slavs-and-oriental-are-niggers-brutes-and-beasts-in-the-eyes-of-western-empire/
The linked item doesn’t seem to provide access to the originals of these letters, in German.It seems to contain general information about German and other racism and genocide.
So, I can read German and I would like to see the original letters.
What is the source?
In fact, I am half German (my mother was forcibly expatriated by the Nazi regime).
Nothing excuses genuine German racism (or any racism) or the terrible cruelty and coldbloodedness of German regular Army und/aber especially Einsatzgruppen in the Ukraine and Russia. But I think it is reasonable to certify the provenance of these letters before jumping on the convenient “Bash the Germans” group-think bandwagon.
Has that info been provided and I missed it? In that case, my apologies, and where is it?
Katherine
Lets put it this way, these letters are much, much, much, much more authentic than the Ann Franks Diary or the Holocaust, so rather question the authenticity of the Ann Franks Diary or the Holocaust or Bin Laden done 911, and don’t question the authenticity of these letters.
http://nationalvanguard.org/2015/01/anne-frank-hoax-exposed/
Which is true, that 6 million Jews died in WW2, or that 20+million Russians died in WW2??? Therefor believe what Russians write and ignore what Jews / MSM write.
Things are not such simple. Winter War was not at all to conquer Finland, agcriculture/forest industry country with not much raw materials and not Etappen state between Moscow and Berlin. Kreml had vision Finns had not power and will enough to resist Nazi Germany. Stalin knew it, Mannerheim knew it. Western powers played Finland to hands of Hitler. They and their frontmen in Finland gave no chance to Mannerheim to make necessary military alliance with Soviet Union. 1948 that issue was solved with The Agreement of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance, also known as the YYA Treaty .
As a German, I just want to apologize. I feel deeply ashamed for what our grandfathers did. I hope we can learn from history and be at piece. Yes it is hard to escape the omnipresent anti-Russian propaganda, but there are many in my country who do not take the MSM seriously anymore. It’s not like in 1941 when all you had were the state-owned cinemas.
I don’t feel ashamed or guilt for my father, he did that fight because of the circumstances, I consider him as a victim of the history, as many , many others who fall in that fate. I have my own life, my own cross, why should I take my father’s cross ? That was his cross, his responsibility and only he can respond for his life before God, as we do everyone for ourselves. When people are involved in such a great war like that of ww2, the wheels of fate are running…
Its important to remember what Churchill said among his minions when he was alone with them at a dacha near Moscow. While on his first trip to meet Stalin,” The Russians I have been told are not human beings at all.They are lower in the scale of nature than the orangutan”. And his Ambassador Clark-Carr ,in Moscow said on that visit. When Churchill was whining about arguing with Stalin,”all because you are offended,offended by a peasant who didn’t know any better. You are an aristocrat. They are rough and inexperienced. Straight from the plow and the lathe”. Even in the middle of a fight for survival,Western leaders couldn’t give up their Russophobic racism.
Little has changed today. The West still doesn’t respect Russia as an equal. The “non-human,orangutan,peasants” are still hated by the Western elites. Its no use for Russia to keep trying to be “accepted” as part of the “West”. No matter how many oligarchs send their wealth to the West.No matter how many “Europeanized” Russian middle-class and youth,ape the West’s “culture”. No matter how much trade Russia foolishly has with the West. They will never be considered more than they are now. Its idiotic to continue to not see the dangers of “Westernization” for Russia.And to stop it before its too late to overcome
Some people are “thrilled” in Russia that Russia’s trade with Germany increased lately by 36%. I’m horrified instead. Tying Russia deeper to the West only increases the danger. Instead those resources should have gone to making Russia more self-sufficient. To the re-industrialization of Russia. Tying your economy to your enemies makes it easier for them to control you. If nothing else could be said,Stalin knew that fact. And gave Russia (USSR) the industrial power to win the GPW.
These letters are very hard hitting and sad, it is a reminder of what the west thought and continues to think of Russia, Serbia and any other Slavic peoples of the same mindset, that resists these western insane nutjobs in power.
Being a Yugoslav Australian of Dalmatian heritage my mother tells me continually what her father had to do fighting the Croat Ustacha
Unfortunately many folk living in Croatia whose ancestors were partisans, have to live under a fascist state because that is what Croatia is today a fascist state.
So nothing has changed 72 years later, the same forces want to destroy any Slavs who continue to resist as mentioned, and the biggest resistance is Russia.
By the way, Australia is a disgrace the way they follow the US shamelessly into any misadventure, but what else would one expect from an occupied delusional colony.
It used be said of Australia in the 1950s: it was a nation of 150million sheep and 10 million people.
2017 it’s around 26million sheeple.
Many people do not realize, when they ask who will lead the nation when Putin is gone…
People do not have the vision to see, that when WADA banned those russian kids from competing in the olympics, they did not ban putin and shoigu, they banned the hopes and dreams of 20 year olds with mothers and fathers who would corroborate the terrible times of the 90’s. These kids grew up hearing what a terrible time it was, and grew up under the time of Putin. Their life is only getting better- their grandparents and parents are living better and the kids are young, and the nation is getting onto its feet, we have not even seen what Russia will be like when these kids assume the leadership role. These kids who saw Putin raise a nation on its knees! Who brought back the legacy of a great and triumphant nation who walks with authority in the midst of those who would see us destroyed !! Kids who knew that they could have had nothing have families, possibilities, and hope for a better life, and when the world hates them, they do not have to run away and live in some other place, because they know Russia is a better place.
To those who worry who Putin will leave behind… Putin has perfomed the miracle, because an entire nation will follow him into glory! An entire youth is waiting for greatness, the best thing is he doesn’t have to leave an heir, those times are gone, he completed the mission, the future is in Russia’s hands now!
Russia will not stand injustice, or corruption, or the interests of others before their own people, the lessons they have learned are the lessons of humility, dignity, self respect, hard work, and merit. These lessons cannot be groomed or bought, they are the spiritual rewards of staying the course and being patient for more than 20 years of uncertainty and troubles. The future is so bright that even despite the numbers and statistics anyone could say even without all that, you can feel deep inside that something is coming on, a sun is rising, and a people is rising… No money can buy this, no politician could teach this, this is the harvest of a job well done!!
Slava Rossiya!!! Slava Gaspadin Putin!! Slava lyudii russkii!! Slava Bogu!!!!!
Dear Scott,
Czechs did not attend the german wehrmacht against USSR. On the contrary
1939 left some 700 soldiers of previous czechoslovakian army the country and went
first to Poland and later to the USSR, led by colonel Svoboda. They formed later one brigade with some countrymen from Volynia and Ruthenia and took part in the battle of Sokolov 1943 and Dukla 1944 together with red army.
Greetings
Besides Hungarians, Romanians, Finns, Italians …
What’s about 1 mln Russian that fought on the side of Wehrmacht ?
Not only then but in the liberation of Kiev in November 1943
Seems europe+ want to finally bury Russia since ww1. But why?
1. Is it because it has different faith as this is part of the crusaders’ wars that have been going on since a thousand year old? Now that the West also has created Western civilization it is to preserve this as it is threatened by both Russia’s faith and economy. Unforunately, Russia without China will never win even with nuclear because now there are more nato population including the Balkans ready to march to Russia surrounding it. If Nato army are right by its borders then it is easy to invade it. Russia can only use nuclear for distance to defend itself. However, with less population than it used to have when it was Soviet union, Russia would not win with all of these W and E European army.
2. Were those Europeans the Nazis specifically, targeting the jews as well in Russia? If Marx (from Germany) outsourced Communism to Russia to over throw the monarchy to set up the Bolshevicks who happened to be jews, this contradicts who the Europeans are aiming that in russia.
3. Another Contradiction? Why do the zionists today support the West knowing fully well they were the targets under the Nazi? Why does the West target Russia today knowing full well Russia saved europeans from nazi?
4. If the US and europe funded and supported for the rise of the Nazi, why did the Nazis turned against US and its allies the British and French?
Sorry for some of you this might be basic questions. But it is becoming interesting times how situations are unfolding right before our eyes; once again, history repeats itself.
“Why do the zionists today support the West knowing fully well they were the targets under the Nazi?”
The Zionists are the West.
The Zionists (known under various names in various times) run the show since way back. The control the money supply, the religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam), all big corporations (GoldmanSachs and Deutsche Bank) and also very importantly, but poorly understood, they control the West’s legal system (which turns out to be a banker owned private structure on closer investigation. No joke!)
Nazism was the Zionist’s greatest hoax project. Their greatest success.
Next step: pulverizing the US into an non-functional Weimerica feat. Donald Trump as anti-hero.
When we talk about zionists, they are jews but those who support them could be zionists? It is very important to identify who is who not to brand everybody with them, they (who ever is doing the world into chaos) are very successful not to be identified clearly. However i find it hard to believe only jews involved in the world’s chaos. Surely America and European groups that are powerful are working hand in hand with zionists. My point is, it is really impossible to have such almost perfect organization of their plan without support from others.
Smr,
When you say zionists are the West, it is still not clear whether they are jews from West or whites. Obviously zionists(jews) want to have israel as a nation. The whites could be looking for dominance in the world. The interests of the jewish zionists and Westerners iscolliding and decided to to work for this plan together. It is also hard to believe how one goes to such great lengthes to kill their own (jews) in Germany to claim israel. That being said, it is odd that the word Nazi could derive from
Ashke-Nazi for jewish european race.
Good points, Anon.
“It is also hard to believe how one goes to such great lengthes to kill their own (jews) in Germany to claim israel.”
Hard to believe, and yet. The hard-core Talmudic/Jewish oligarchs have little patience with assimilated Jews who are enjoying their comfortable, quiet lives in Paris, Amsterdam, London, Berlin. They are considered to be traitors, self-hating Jews and are therefore even more despised and targeted than the wide-eyed, clueless goys.
Remember the Charlie Hebdo hoax? Bibi Netanyahu was instantly on all Zionstream media outlets, urging aJews to leave dangerous, anti-semite Europe and to flock to the save haven of Israel. This pattern is a constant of Jewish identity politics. The tribe has to be kept together at any cost.
“That being said, it is odd that the word Nazi could derive from
Ashke-Nazi for jewish european race.”
Let’s not go off the deep end!
Nazi comes from
Nationalsocizialische Partei Deutschlands.
The t in National is pronounces ts, or z.
The Germans love to build words from bits and pieces.
Actually, like the Jews. Both of these linguistic tribes are acronym crazy.
But the word “Nazi” has nada/zero/zilch to do with “Ashkenazi.”
“in the ranks of Nazi troops that broke into our land there were hundreds of thousands of French, Belgians, Dutch, Poles, Czechs, Danes, Norwegians, Bulgarians, Croats, Luxembourgers, Jews”
Czechs between nazi troops? Have any proof? It’s clear lie. In fact there were some czech colaborants with german nazi ocupants (there wasn’t probably even 50 of this persons) who wanted to serve with german nazis, but germans ban it and newer alow it, because officially they consider Czechs “untermenschen” and unofficially Germans were affraid that they could their weapons turn againts them or desert to the soviet side (like in the 1.war Czechoslowaks desert to russian side).
Czechoslowaks kiled Heydrich – third man in Third Reich and achitect of “final solution” and paid hight price for it in blood so don’t throw dirty on us.
And Jews and Poles between nazi hordes? It lookes ridiculos too. Maybe some rare exception, witch proof the rule. But Jews probably must hide their origin. And what about Molotow-Ribentrop pact, strat of war with division of Poland? And Katyn? 20 000 murderd of pole colonels? Nothing? So this article is litlle biased from other side
Katyn camp was originally planned for Finnish officers and bourgeoisie. This is documented. But as we further follow steps of Stalin he did indeed change his attitude to Finland. It happened in 1943. How do historians found it? Because in summer 1944 in Karelia Stalin gave just 450 000 for STAVKA to solve Finland issue. Every military expert know the plan was not to conquer Finland (during Winter War USSR used maximum even 850 000 soldiers, early Feb 1940). Poland was MUST, Finland unnecessary. Stalin had a plan to built Finland as a model of bourgeoisie country having peaceful relationship with Soviet Union. In retrospect Finland of 1945-91 caused much less problems to Kreml than Poland or any any other country of Warsaw Pact. That’s why case of Finland might be a kind of model for Putin and Kreml to handle certain issues in future. How to win hearts and minds of your former enemy?
The only two European nations that didn’t send a single soldier against Russia in WWII were Serbs and Greeks. I think that Bulgarians although allied to Germany had a deal not to send their troops on to eastern front.
This speaks volumes about state of the mind of the rest of the western Europeans. The Danes are great example. They lost 2 men during 6 years of occupation fighting Germans, and 7500 volunteers in the eastern front.
Correct, Greeks, Sebians and Bulgarians did not send a single soldier against Russia. Romanians fought under Stalngrad, Croats, Albanians and Bosniaks fought there,too.
R
American soldiers when watching oil fields of Iraq had rather similar euphoria: “… and the great thing is this all now is our property…”
The speech by Hitler was only partially quoted. You left out the rest of it, where he reasoned that the attack on Russia was launched because of their planned invasion of Europe, with 24,000 tanks, and that it was pre-emptive.
Churchill and Hitler both had idea of human history as continuos war. However those “eyeshines” never realized that the mainroad of human history is mostly peace and co-operation, not war. What is really true, and that’s dangerous and agonising, is the fact that folks are relatively easy to be agitated to hate other groups of people.
On the other hand the road to 1939-45 can be explained with Europe of 1919 of instability and lack of balance of power. The reason why things are now dangerous can’t be understood without USA/Nato expansion after 1991.
Thanks you for your questions and comments.
I need a separate post to address many issues that are brought up here. Also, some of the comments here contain information that should be highlighted.
Meanwhile. for those of you who missed our past articles on the Great Patriotic War (WWII)

The original source and study of those letters of 1941? German achieves or allied confiscation?
Scott
You posted a lot of useful material of how right wingers not only think, but also act. Especially when they think they are in the advantage.
Besides all those nazi friendly euro regimes supporting the nazis, there were plenty of the same govno in the usa. Particularly among those calling themselves republican, who seemed to specialize nazi wartime collaboration. It’s well known that both republican rockefeller and bush oligarchies had properties seized by the pindo regime for trading and aiding the enemy nazi germany.
This is how Anglo American racism and arrogance of “Herrenvolk idea” worked during Vietnam War (or as Vietnamese call it: “American War in Vietnam”). American soldiers themselves told how they did anything to dehumanize Vietnamese people making no difference of NVA/NLF, Saigon forces or any civilians.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY91OTCwwQk
The clip of a document “Winter Soldier” 1971.
“”In Vietnam, racism became a patriotic virtue … All Vietnamese became “dinks”, “slopes”, “slants”, or “gooks”, and the only good one was a dead one. So the Americans killed them when it was clear that they were Vietcong…. And they killed them when it was clear they were not Vietcong.
—
It was the racist nature of the fighting, the treating of the Vietnamese “like animals,” that inevitably led to My Lai, and it was the reluctance of correspondents to report this racist and atrocious nature of the war that caused the My Lai story to be revealed not by a war correspondent, but by an alert newpaper reporter back in the United States — a major indictment of the coverage of the war. ” “
The sweeping references to Europeans, the russians aside which must be at around 500m people, which are becoming common place in some of the reports on this high valued niche on the net, are ignorant and needless.
Let me take my own crowd back in the motherland…Hardly brainwashed and frogmarching to their own destruction, roaring for the hordes of Death Inc aka the anglozionist and Military Industrial complex cartels…not just in small pockets, but unlike the french par example, they refused to believe the hype of fascism and bigotry thrown at them before, during and after brexit. many millions voted for nationalism, for sovereignty, AGAINST the international banking cartels and their Brussels based sheriffs. This is rarely mentioned. Instead the brits, taken as part of the ‘european stock’ which is misguiding and a generalisation which dilutes any meaningful attempt at making a serious point, are labelled as cowards…
There are hundreds of thousands of people just as aware of the world and the way it works as any writer on this site. Unfortunately there are millions of people who are brainwashed morons, in every country. Russia included…
And this russian chest beating…it becomes quickly too much. Especially when it appears, as it did recently on this very site, with massive gusto, of protecting our own, of one russian death at the hands of a foreign entity and we will make them pay! In the same breath Edrogan was referred to as ‘our man’.! The hypocrisy was bewildering! Russia lets nobody kill its people, but a man who kilss our people is now ‘our man!’.
Yes, there were some wretched connexions during WWII. But not all the allied troops were fighting against Russia, the overwhelming majority were fighting the Japs and the Nazis. So please, try to remember this. It makes anyone with a reasonable understanding of history turn away at the whitewashing of wwII turning it into ALL against Russia, and guess what folks! WE WON! And we WILL WIN AGAIN!
Some reports such as this one, begin to feel like propaganda, with objectivity out the window…
I would not be surprised to find this comment moderated or deleted, yet this could only further my suspicions of the direction it is now taking…
In Finland this anti Russia/ Russians attitude has been studied carefully. Huge tons of documents confirmed anti Russians feelings were rare before 1917. Actually Finns generally had positive or neutral attitude towards Russians. So what really happened to make that 180 degree turn? Civil War of 1918. Whites (government/bourgeois class) created the myth of 1918 as a patriotic war against Russians. In reality there were less than 1500 Russians fighting in Finnish Red Guards, and they mostly fought very short period (one combat). The irony here is that Russian officers gave more help to Whites than Bolsheviks to Reds. HQ of Whites was full of former Tsar’s officers. Russian civilians in Finland were either neutral or pro Whites.
In this problematic reality Whites built myth to their soldiers that they were fighting against “Russians backed by some misled red hooligans”. To be Ruskie (“ryssä”) was synonyme of socialist, boshevik, communist, red criminal, barbaric, Asian, primitive. Anti Russian emotion propaganda was created to hide the fact that Civil War was not so much war of independence.That it was 99% Finns fighting other Finns. Nationalists (Whites) felt half of nation (Reds)had betrayed noble holy idea of pure nation. Blame “ryssä” for that shame.
Let’s not forget that racism in Sweden was targeting a lot Finns after 1918. The common popular claim was that Finns are Mongols. Historically Finns, Slavs, Mediterranean folks have been despised as racially inferior folks, “not really whites”, racial trash.
And Mongolian people have higher average IQ than almost any European nation.
Steve Gowans makes a very trenchant point about Nazism and how Westerners “revile it”–but for the wrong reasons. Indeed, Gowans says that Nazism was merely the application of the same ideology and tactics that Western colonial empires ruthlessly applied to the non-Western world, only in a European context:
“Hitler’s regime, it should be noted, represented European colonial ideology and practice in its highest form. Its methods were based on those pioneered by Britain, France and the United States to build vast empires, and Belgium and Portugal, to build smaller ones. What made Hitler reprehensible to the Western mind, was not the brutality of his methods and his racist ideology—for these came directly from the European colonial tradition—but his seeking to build a German empire to the East, thus bringing home to Europe the methods and racism the British had used in India, the French in Africa and Indo-China, and the young United States had used to build a continental empire. Hitler said Central and Eastern Europe, including Russia, would be to Germany what the American West was to the United States and India was to Britain. In Discourse on Colonialism, Aime Cesaire remarked that “What (Westerners) cannot forgive Hitler for is not the crime itself…it is the crime against the White man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonial procedures which had until then been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the ‘coolies’ of India and the ‘niggers’ of Africa.” [36]
Zionism, Genocide and the Colonial Tradition in Contemporary Syria
https://gowans.wordpress.com/2016/04/02/zionism-genocide-and-the-colonial-tradition-in-contemporary-syria/
Furthermore, in this article below by Vladislav Gulevich, he cites the work of Manuel Sarkisyanz’s _From Imperialism to Fascism: Why Hitlers’ India was to be Russia_which documents the connections and shared affinities between the Anglo Imperialism and Nazism.
Indeed, Nazi Germany sought to emulate the British Empire by seeking to turn Russia into its very own version of British India—in other words, a colony.
Anglo-Saxon Roots of German Nazism
http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2011/07/05/anglo-saxon-roots-of-german-nazism.html
As for Zionism, this ideology is the misbegotten progeny of Western colonialism just like Nazism. Zionism is Western colonialism with a Jewish twist. Theodor Herzl, one of the founding fathers of Zionism, explicitly made the argument that Israel should serve as imperial bulwark of Western “civilization” against that Arab masses in the Middle East.
In short, Nazism and Zionism are merely the ideological spawn of Westernism—something that many Westerners would rather not admit.

“The paper with the stamp “Top Secret” was full of figures. The more I scrutinized them, the more my heart ached: “… 46 million 250 thousand have been wounded. 775 thousand soldiers came home with the broken skulls. One-eyed 155 thousand, blind 54 thousand. With disfigured faces 501342. With crooked necks 157565. With torn stomachs 444046. With injured vertebrae 143241. With wounds in the pelvic region 630259. With torn genitals 28648.

Yet its ultimate effect on the Soviet military was initially greatly overstated by Red Army apologists, in part to deflect blame for the 1941 disaster from the army onto Stalin. Even as the purge was taking shape, the armed forces were exaggerating and misrepresenting their losses, perhaps in order to persuade Stalin to end the Ezhovshchina. Until recently, historians had estimated that the purge claimed as many as 50,000 out of an estimated 100,000 officers. Now, thanks to greater access to Russian archives, we know that far less than 50 percent were lost, and even as officers were purged, new officers were added—almost 14,000 in 1937 and 57,000 in 1938. At its worst, then, no more than 12.5 percent of the officer corps was repressed. We can legitimately question whether the purge had as dramatic an impact on the leadership and the army’s unpreparedness for war as long assumed.
Without a doubt, Stalin wanted to eliminate specific top officers and commissars whom he unjustifiably suspected of outright disloyalty to him, failing to support his policies, or being unreliable in a crisis. Among those purged were some of his best officers, notably Robert Eideman, Iona Iakir, Innokentii Khalepskii, August Kork, Aleksandr Sediakin, Aleksandr Svechin, Mikhail Tukhachevskii, and Ieronim Uborevich, while Stalin’s incompetent cronies—Marshals Semen Budenny, Grigori Kulik, and Kliment Voroshilov survived.

“In Soviet times, Victory Day for 20 years was not a day off. Only then, when many of the soldiers of the Second world already dead, began a cult of the great Patriotic war. We, the students, talked about “people-winner” and his great leadership. In front of us were “safe”, pre-approved by the appropriate bodies of the veterans. In history lessons we studied the military memoirs of the Chairman of the Central Committee of the CPSU Leonid Brezhnev.”

So there theory (or reality) was where Hitler’regime operated as a kind of ISIS in hands of Anglo American Empire?
John Mosier in his book “Deathride” made both good and bad comparisons. While it was quite true that population rate of Greater Germany vs USSR was about 1:2 or 1:2.1 or 1:2.2 he made one crucial mistake. He should have compared age groups 1910-1928. USSR had about 4 times more men born in 1920’s than Greater Germany. In war of atrocity Germany was lacking cannon fodder when falling down that kill rate of 1:4. It started in from period of Jan 1943.
The real haters of the Russian people were the Gog and Magog Bolsheviks and their western allies and their hideous godless creation the USSR. It was the forces of Gog and Magog who won the war.
It is unfortunate that even today many Russians celebrate the godless regime.
Russia’s great patriotic is yet to come!
