And that's why I'NOT on "social" media. I was on Facesoddingbook or a couple of moths many years ago and I left in disgust at the grand waste of time (and energy) I found it to be. I've never been on Twitter, Instagram and, Bumba forfend!, on Ticktock. My way might be slower and more "primitive" (I'm a dinosaur, after all) but I find it more effective and suited to my needs and criteria. It's also more discriminating and selective, i.e. practical. One by one and one to one. That's the ticket for me.
Anyway, good article, good points. Since this new Exercise in Terror started I have to dose my "news" intake very carefully. And be grateful that, for all its faults and shortcomings and fuckups, RT has not been banned...yet.
Good article. You had me laughing. Yeah, we just go from one propaganda campaign to another. Russiagate/Orange man bad, COVID, now Ukraine. I am rooting for the Ukrainians, but I do know that if they dispatch Russia, we are next. Eliminate all obstacles to absolute Oligarch/Kleptocrat rule.
Thanks. Yeah, it seems that we do. It's just bait & switch, all the time. I really wish we could just turn off this digital media spectacle for a couple of weeks and see what happened.
They just want to eviscerate your mind and soul so that you will be a machine/human hybryd. I don't know what is so complicated about it. When their «vanguard» is preaching this for years or decades why aren't you believeing them? Why don't you see that they simply mean it? Are you also hypnotized or what?
I think you have an important point here. The basics of the situation aren't complicated, but sometimes a thorough analysis is necessary to unveil the mechanisms.
“the specter of defeat did not materialize until Germany’s Sixth Army was defeated at Stalingrad. Until then, Germany had not sustained a major loss. There was a “sense of invincibility” of the Nazi armies which had rolled over Poland, Holland, Belgium, France, Greece, and Yugoslavia, as well as the Ukraine, from September 1939 until January 1943.
Yes, the German armies had been stopped in front of Moscow in the winter of 1941, but it was more because of blizzards and stubborn Russian resistance; the Germans had not been defeated.
Stalingrad was a huge defeat. And it was the turning point, along with Rommel’s defeat in Egypt.”
I address the now situation by saying euro artillery bombing Russians, and swastika-wearing fascists outlawing the Russian language, in Ukraine ain’t a good look. History says where this goes. Every time. Fascists never learn. Gonna get a beating again
There's the danger that it becomes a protracted war. I hope the russians and the ukrainian «authority» come to any sort of agreement now. There's no «good war», so even an half baked peace or even a cease-fire is a better situation.
It is certain that Russia will continue until the 2014 coup d’etat is reversed. Their stated objectives: demilitarization, denazification, Ukrainian neutrality. If the west chooses to interfere in this, then war will spread outside of Ukraine immediately. Russia said that. No reasonable person will doubt it.
Absolutely. You should be scared. 8 years ago when the US/NATO overthrew the Ukraine government I stopped cold in my tracks. The collective west crossed the rubicon. That action can have only 2 possible outcomes:
1. Russia reverses the insane NATO/US action.
2. Global nuclear war
Putin, demonized 24/7 by the west, is the only reason any of us remain alive. Putin rises to the occasion, rationally seeking ways for 8 years to get compromise from the west that even partially resolves the US/NATO 2014 Ukraine putsch
(compromise = autonomy for Donbass, security guarantees for Russia, no NATO hardware on Russia’s doorstep).
Finding no cooperation whatsoever, and instead only total hostility, Russia proceeds with 1. Which again, is the only reason any of us has any future whatsoever. The alternative to 1 is a situation that is zero whole steps away from total nuclear war.
Note that Ukrainian officials had already stated their intent to take their spent nuclear fuel and their missiles and lob dirty bombs at Russia, and, to join NATO, and to reclaim Crimea by force, which means NATO war with Russia.
Russian reversal of the 2014 US/NATO coup d’etat in Ukraine - the west’s use of Ukraine as a military anti-Russia platform - reversal of this is the only option left that avoids nuclear war.
However, the west IS homogeneously insane, so the west keeping itself from doing very stupid things, like interfering in this, cannot be taken for granted. The risk of extremely unwise decisions from the west is extremely high.

Stay sane.
Oh, and they're DDoSing RT pretty heavily, it's available only intermittently.
Hey, thanks. Good points, yes. We would be better off smashing our smartphones and tablets &c like Cory tends to say
Be assured, the bigger the distraction, the bigger the behind the scenes agendas being established they dont want the masses knowing about.

Someone said it’s looking like 1938.
More like 1943:
“the specter of defeat did not materialize until Germany’s Sixth Army was defeated at Stalingrad. Until then, Germany had not sustained a major loss. There was a “sense of invincibility” of the Nazi armies which had rolled over Poland, Holland, Belgium, France, Greece, and Yugoslavia, as well as the Ukraine, from September 1939 until January 1943.

Stop living in the past! Live in the here and now, address the here and now situation.

They (NATO countries) are interfering with heavy sanctions and arms delieveries.
I see as very realistic scenario that all this mess can derail in a full global war with the danger of becoming nuclear? I am scared!
