Wow, that’s preemptive action. The previous thread is still under 900.

Russian Army ahead of schedule.

https://johnhelmer.org/breakthrough-on-all-fronts-ahead-of-schedule/

Finally, a medal for kremlinstoogeA123. Moderate wing Republicans need not apply.

Ahead of schedule towards failure?

OT240 is starting to slow rather badly for me so I asked for an early reset.

PEACE 😇

You’ve got a medal for your duplicitous work and now you want a reset? I hear that it’s Profesor Janissary who has been assigned to pin the medal on your chest during the commemoration ceremonies. 🙂

Hack,

Why do you hide your true colors?

Here is a cartoon which suits you.

The 3ft fish was found floating on the surface of a Suffolk fishery with the 3lb carp stuffed down its throat after choking to death trying to swallow its prey.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2050410/Giant-pike-chokes-death-trying-swallow-huge-carp-pictures.html

The pike above can be used as a symbol spirit animal of both Tsarist/Soviet regimes back then in XX century, but Putler is trying his best to follow the same path;)

Sean McMeekin doesn’t treat it this but there is this thing in which there is a very direct continuity between the desires of Russian Imperial leadership and the Soviet leadership in their view of the world.

WW1 was just a direct imperialist war for Russia far more than for France and English (they wanted to cut Ottomans and Germans somewhat, but mostly maintain colonies). Russian leadership really wanted to cut Ottomans and Austrians into pieces, get Galicia, the Straits, rule over the Balkans and Greece, dominate Iran, threaten English in Asia (also get Manchuria and Mongolia in China), and then rule the world.

And it wasn’t the position of only the aristocrats and Tsars and the more atavistic parts of the regime, in general, liberals also wanted to conquer all of this and rule the world after. Communist leadership came to power with a fundamental lie about how they didn’t want war (which the population supported), but they also wanted to conquer everything and rule the world after.

Obviously, the position that Russia should try to rule the world was wrong and mistaken. In general, the 20th century was a real annoyance from the Soviet government about how they should be ruling the world instead of Americans who got it because they are lucky and don’t deserve it.

Cool pic. A good depiction of decrepit empire trying to preserve its hegemony.

An OT question: did Alzheimer-in-Chief assemble a coalition to liberate Texas yet? Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Republic of Palau, and a few other equally powerful and important countries would eagerly join.

Hack, what did I tell you about not posting these self-discrediting retarded ukronazi toilet-level video links? I wouldn’t eliminate the possibility the Russian government is paying this dickhead to produce these videos.

Even the dimwit cartoons are less retarded. Use your considerable academic skills to convince me that Ukrainians dug up the Black Sea and that they built the Pyramids

Look at this pea-sized brain insect – an “intellectual” drive of the quality of this site. The end is near and so is the berserk behaviour. He sees Russians at every corner and knows that they deal with stupid efficiently.

Well, some psychopaths showed up in the last one. Maybe they are too stupid to move here…if not, remember to never wrestle with pigs… 🙂

Pike swallowing carp association with Tsarist/USSR end and with modern Russian state is too cretinous to think you weren’t dropped on the head at birth

1. Several hundred, sometimes close to 1000 ukronazi are dying each day from us you braindead POS.

2. Short term already definitively proven, probably short-medium term too it’s clear that economically we will perform very decently. Only 2.2% loss in 2022, 3.4% GROWTH in 2023, 2.5% growth projection this year. That’s just one indicator out of several others on our economy. However,without foreign investment our full economic potential long-term is very unclear. But government very competent and maybe there is enough financial power that isn’t western.

3. Demographically we had population loss of 250000. Previous year was 550000 loss….. so 2023 figures were huge improvement and indicator next year even better as negative trend stopped. Military, economic and demographic security of Russia is assured you ridiculous faggot.

4. Western friends told me recently they have bought holiday journey to Bangkok for next month using the cheapest and shortest route. This route is via Helsinki and under 12 hours. Nobody has told me anything about this, or has news section mentioned it, but to me that length of trip could ONLY be possible via Russian flightpath. So secretly Finnish airlines must be doing this (despite all officially supposed to have stopped using Russian airspace and vice-versa). They must be doing something reciprocal to us. That’s an indicator of how many other different things in business, technology etc must gayropa states secretly be doing with Russia….. while nothing, joke states as Lithuania decay!

remember to never wrestle with pigs…

Sound advice. In fact, I follow it more consistently than you do.

This route is via Helsinki and under 12 hours. Nobody has told me anything about this, or has news section mentioned it, but to me that length of trip could ONLY be possible via Russian flightpath. So secretly Finnish airlines must be doing this

That’s wrong on Russia’s part. It should not allow any airplanes from hostile countries to use its airspace. If Finnair goes bankrupt as the result, this would serve it right. I would shed no tears.

…This route is via Helsinki and under 12 hours…that length of trip could ONLY be possible via Russian flightpath.

Those are charter flights registered in Armenia, Kazakhastan etc…Finns look the other way because they are smarter then Balts or Ukies.

The underlying issue in the West is the lack of geographic and historical sense majority of people have – often even smart people. They don’t get how it works, they lack the deep historical experience. They replaced it with empty narcissistic self-regard – “China can never make chips, haha…”, “Houthis fight with spears…”, “Ukies will march on Moscow with Nato superior weapons…”

It can’t really be helped. Most Western minds live in a circuitous world of past myths like “only we defeated the Nazis“, misunderstood events like the strange one-sided end to the Cold War, and idiotic projections where everyone else is oppressive, tyrannical, unfree, but any event at home is ok.

They can’t win, they took on the whole world and misunderstand the relative forces. But it looks like is too late to walk back the rhetoric…as always the most crazy ones, usually the secondary allies like the Balts, Ukies, maybe Poles, will pay the highest price. But stupidity has to have a price no matter how sad it is…if not, how would it work?

Most Western minds live in a circuitous world of past myths of “we defeated Hitler“, misunderstood events like the strange one-sided end to the Cold War, and idiotic projections where everyone else is oppressive, tyrannical, unfree, but any event at home is ok.

Correction: most Westerners are a lot smarter than the behavior of their governments suggests. Just look at the piles of manure German and French farmers give their powers-that-be. Remarkably fitting, considering the quality of French and German “governments”. Or look at the contempt most Americans have for the Alzheimer-in-Chief.

However, most Westerners are woefully ignorant and misinformed, as they are meant to be by their “elites” that deliberately made Western education systems and MSM a joke. Many leave in the bubble of lies created by their “elites”, but gradually Western people learn to distrust the BS fed to them by their MSM and governments. It’s a painful and protracted process, but it’s underway.

Unless you can provide me with another better video blogger with the correct point of view, I’ll have to stick with what’s available. I’m not impressed with Ritter and other guys that Averko floods this blog site with, anybody else? As you can see, I’m a loyal reader of this “Russian blogsite”, so I try to be open minded, and get the Russian point of view too. So far, nothing satisfies? You’re one of the better and few Russian commentators that I do enjoy reading here, though…..I used to read Leos Tomichek’ s blogsite too, but he’s developed into an extreme pot smoking burnout (kind of like kremlinstoogeA123 here with his bad glue huffing habit), and nothing he writes seems to make any sense to me anymore?…

They’re cutting federal funds and blocking lng exports to Texas I think.

It’s weird how there’s no discussion on the GAE here just random Slavic debates.

Place really fell off.
Slavs will be Russian without outside help.

They’re cutting federal funds and blocking lng exports to Texas I think.

Yes, libtards are trying to choke Texas economically. However, 25 states have already expressed their support for Texas, so libtards are trying to bite a lot more than they can chew. Although the majority of Americans are the most gullible and docile sheeple in the world (compared to most Americans almost any Russian is a fiery revolutionary), even they can be roused.

The Secret Teaching of All Ages

These teachings were the basis for the “secret teachings” of the famous secret societies like Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism, that arose in Europe and then America, a few years after the initial popularity of Hermetica during The Renaissance among leading Catholic philosophers, nobles, and priests.

Having seen the Korean movie Battleship Island (2017) recently, I feel like I have an appreciation for why the Koreans and Japanese (and perhaps EEs?) hate each other.

Khazars.

Haplogroup debates.

Some of you are missing the fun.

Looks like some good reading. Will be interesting to see whether Polish Perspective gives this stuff his kosher seal of rabbinical purity? 🙂

Try to catch some 10 – 20 lb catfish when I’m back in MN. Usually after sunset – a real thrill! No “super monsters” yet. We let them flop around on the grass on the back of the Crow river before we move them to a big plastic bag. Cleaning them up at home requires a few drinks (a disgustingly bloody sort of ordeal)…

Reminds me of Swift’s “Gulliver’s Travels”. Remember the conflict between those who break open their eggs at the little end (Little-Endians) and those who choose the big end (Big-Endians)?

Who cares? Is the fact that Al Capone was Italian more important than that he was a criminal? I don’t think so. In the same vein, Jewish criminals are criminals, while Jews who do not do anything criminal are innocent, in both cases regardless of their origin, mythical or real. The same applies to every nation on Earth.

So, let the lively debate between Little-Endians and Big-Endians continue. The answer is as vitally important as the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin.

Cleaning them up at home requires a few drinks (a disgustingly bloody sort of ordeal

Quite humorously, for much of my life I never understood that fish had red blood as I had only ever seen prepared fish, and it doesn’t seem to hold blood well, when compared to the meat of land animals. I had once seen a hint of green in some cooked haddock (for what reason?) and I associated this with Mr. Spock and built an ecology around it. (I think mollusks have green blood)

BTW, have you ever seen any worms come out, when you cook it up? And do you catch them (i.e. the catfish) by having them bite your hand?

Your example is not great. Everybody who pays attention knows that you break open eggs at the big end. Jonathan Swift always had his eggs prepared for him is the only way to critique this literature.

On Veterans Today they have history reports of Khazarian anti Jew stuff. They claim (I have no luck verifying any of their sources) that everybody in Eurasia hated Khazars since Day 0 because they were cheaters and liars without compare. Like the people in China knew not to have any dealings with them.

I would definitely like to read comments about this more than Israel killing women and children live blogged 24 hours a day every day.

Yeah, I never follow my own advice…more interesting stuff happens that way. But pigs are pigs, I will try to be more restrained…:)

Kingdom S5 Episode 3 teaches a very important retreat tactic.

Congrats. That link was way more factual than I had any expectation of when I clicked on it.

Just throwing it out there as an interesting article or are you going somewhere specific with it?

I always thought that gutting fish was quite tidy compared to gutting anything else, or is gutting catfish more loathsome for some reason? I can’t say I have any history with catching catfish.

Unless they’re willing to float a new currency it means little.
It’s also the tiny states in the Mid-West for the most part.

Technically, half of Canada’s provinces are just in the Atlantic.
However, with a combined population >Toronto how much does anyone care?

Texas wants to replace its Mexicans with Indians.
Geo-politically that’s safer, but

I guess Upper-Middle Class Hindus > central americans?

Wheelchair use
On July 14, 1984, at age 26, Abbott was paralyzed below the waist when an oak tree fell on him while he was jogging after a storm.[8][278] Two steel rods were implanted in his spine, and he underwent extensive rehabilitation at TIRR Memorial Hermann in Houston and has used a wheelchair ever since.[279][280] He sued the homeowner and a tree service company, resulting in an insurance settlement that provided him with lump sum payments every three years until 2022 along with monthly payments for life; both are adjusted for inflation.[281] As of August 2013, the monthly payment was US$14,000 and the three-year lump sum payment was US$400,000, all tax-free. Abbott has said he relied on the money to pay for nearly three decades of medical expenses and other costs.

Seems like a stand-up guy and I’ve gone jogging during storms so definitely empathize.

Not a good runner by any means.
Reverse squats especially, standing & unilateral seem great though.

One guy took 0.4s off his 40-yd dash despite not training sprints for a year.

Veterans Today is a 100% debunked fiction site. They are so unhinged , they claim that the Port of Beirut was nuked. No one serious believes anything they put out.

PEACE 😇

Governor Greg Abbott really doesn’t like being told to plant trees.

https://www.sacurrent.com/news/gov-abbott-is-very-concerned-about-tree-rules-4804686

He sued the homeowner and a tree service company,

WTF, how is that not an act of God? Did they rig it as a booby-trap, that deadfalled him, when his leg snared some tripwire, they set across the sidewalk?

However, most Westerners are woefully ignorant and misinformed,

No more so than you, who habitually makes bizarre and false statements.

…most Westerners are woefully ignorant and misinformed, as they are meant to be by their “elites” that deliberately made Western education systems and MSM a joke.

Societies, systems, governments can be compared in many different ways – maybe the most important criteria is who produces more high quality people. I don’t mean the elite, just people in general. It makes sense biologically.

In that today’s West ranks low – the ignorance and inability to think critically is worse than in the previous generations and in other competing societies. If that is intentional it is a damning verdict on the Western elites.

Some of it is the result of lazy, unfocused lives people live – whatever the reason, it bodes badly for the societies – sure, they can ‘replace‘ the people with higher quality outsiders and become something else. But the same devolution happens to the newcomers and their progeny. It is not a winning model.

The farmers are great – there are just not enough of them…

Is the fact that Al Capone was Italian more important than that he was a criminal? I don’t think so. In the same vein, Jewish criminals are criminals, while Jews who do not do anything criminal are innocent,

I made a similar point in the prior thread.

Oligarchs are oligarchs first. Given the small number of oligarchs on the planet, smearing 100% of all Jews by fabricating the concept “Jewish oligarchs” is nonsensical. There are oligarchs of all lineages.

PEACE 😇

It is parallel to negroes at 13% of the population doing 52% of the violent crime. And more extreme. Jews at 2% of the population doing 40% of the oligarchy. In one case it’s P(danger) at 4X and in the other case it is P(deserves to be stood against a wall and shot dead) is 20X.

I realize this math might be a challenge for you.

I realize that you may be math challenged. There are:

~ 15,000,000 Million Jews
~ 1,500 “Jewish” oligarchs

Due to your lack of mathematical capability let me work that out for you.

1,500 / 15,000,000 = 0.01% of the population.

In what unhinged & anti-factual world does it make sense to smear 99.99% of a group because you dislike 0.01%? Do you think that “Joooooozzzzzzz” are in your closet right now plotting something?

PEACE 😇

Well ENR,

It looks like Mr. ABC/123 failed your math test 🙁

Here is a little tip that may help you in life:

BE LESS RACIST!

#LetsGoBrandon 😇

YouTube has punished me once again for using adblocker with the recommended video being “HUGE abscess on bull lanced.”

It is like something I once imagined after reading folklore about heroes battling great monsters using weapons coated with powerful poisons.

I guess Biden is trying to increase the value of Russia’s LNG exports.

Well, Orthodox Jews and other devout forms of Judaism shouldn’t be classified in the “cabal” category. So thats 3 million maybe. African and other Jews from India or wherever don’t get grouped in the cabal category, so is that another 1 milllion less.

Jewish gangster/thief types do much of their cheating as brothers ( on a separate issue did Gershwin’s brother have any actual talent to deserve being the lyricist to his music?) . Then I am going to include the wife/husband and assume 2 children and merge them into one group.

1500/15000000-3000000-1000000 divided by 2 ( Koch brothers, Weinstein brothers, Gershwin brothers, Warner brothers) then divided by 4 (because of the marriage and 2 children)= 0.11% of the population!!

In what unhinged & anti-factual world does it make sense to smear 99.99% of a group because you dislike 0.01%? Do you think that “Joooooozzzzzzz” are in your closet right now plotting something?

The oligarchs issue is different, but Jews being heads of nuclear weapons development program of Soviets and USA, and being the top spies for both sides around WW2/Cold war is entirely coincidental ,meritocratic and a product of circumstances. Same for several other sectors where historical reasons have made them jewish-heavy skillsets. For Oligarchy the issue is different though .Soros and Khodorkovsky have zero entrepreneurial 0r technical skill – they are a total fit with the Nazi caricature of Jewish gangster-type, sinister parasite that clearly isn’t meritocratic or coincidental.

The problem with ENR’s hypothesis is he mixed religion & ethnicity.

negroes at 13%
…
Jews at 2% of the population

The statistical problem is obvious. This is not a valid operation as one is a religion and the other is not.

Given the need to reach ethnicity versus ethnicity, I offer the dubious exchange of Khazar for Jews. This allows for HBD concepts.

Those of Khazar HBD lineage can fall in three groups:
    -1- Those who practice Judaism (a.k.a. Jews)
    -2- Non-Jews who do not practice Judaism
    -3- Violent anti-Semites who actively harm or action ers of Judaism.

Only those in #1 are Jewish. Those that ENR calls out in #2/#3 are non-Jews.
____

There are explicit examples of non-Jews #2-#3:

George IslamoSoros is an open advocate of the Boxcar Death System [BDS] system and yearns for a Judenfrei land from River To The Sea. Genocide of millions of indigenous Palestinian Jews.

How stupid does the FSM think we are? Genocidal Khazar post-Judaic apostates are not Jews. They hate those who continue practice Judaism.

PEACE 😇

I agree with your post…however the Americans are hardly misinformed about the Biden’s senility, his corruption, his paying bribes to Ukrainian gang, but half of the country want him for 4 more year.

Think about France or Germany elections and what kind of puppets they elected. That somewhat contrast with your: “Westerners are a lot smarter than the behavior of their governments suggests.”

What about Germans…their unconditional love of their occupier and destroyer of their energy supplies (billions wasted) makes them devoted servant even against their own national interest.

-3- Violent anti-Semites who actively harm or action ers of Judaism.

Auto correct is a plague.

-3- Violent anti-Semites who actively harm practitioners of Judaism.

PEACE 😇

What about Germans…their unconditional love of their occupier and destroyer of their energy supplies (billions wasted) makes them devoted servant even against their own national interest.

Angela “Welcome Rape-ugees” Merkel indeed maximized Muslim occupation. The Islamophile Green party destroyed their own energy infrastructure in the name of Muhammad.

Islamophile elites are 100% devoted to destroying the Judeo-Christian blue collar base.

PEACE 😇

One wonders whether an SR-led Russia would have been just as ravenous in its appetite for imperial expansion as both Tsarist Russia and Bolshevik Russia were.

Angela Merkel is trying to play geopolitics by wooing the descendants of the subjects of Germany’s former ally the Ottoman Empire, which ruled over Syria, Iraq, et cetera.

I feel like Ron has misinterpreted what Eran Elhaik has said, his belief is Jews have an origin in the silk road region, along with its peoples, and then inhabiting the Khazarian Empire, rather than specifically a Khazarian people.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3595026/

The Anglo Saxons were far better documented, and the population far more settled, and yet controversy still rages as to the genetic impact they had on the British Isles.

So Russia comprehensively won their case at the ICJ.

When all other voters gave President Joe Biden a 41 percent job approval, the elite 1 percent rated him at 82 percent approval.

…

The gap between the elite 1 percent and the rest of America is startling. While 57 percent of all voters say there is not enough individual freedom in America, 47 percent of the elite 1 percent say there is too much freedom. If you ask the section of the group that is politically obsessed (people who talk politics every day), 69 percent say there is too much individual freedom in America.

Given this, it’s not surprising that the elite 1 percent have great faith in government. Some 70 percent trust government to do the right thing most of the time.

The general rule seems to be the bigger the fish, the bigger the mess, the more red blood (I’ve never seen any green blood). A big catty is a lot of work, so if anybody ever offers you some, be grateful and enjoy it knowing that you missed out on the bloody preliminaries. Also, cutting up the fish into manageable smaller pieces can be difficult because of tendon and bone issues. I’ve not seen any worms close-up, but to be honest I’ve never really cleaned the fish myself but have been an innocent bystander. 🙂

Letting it bight my hand – are you kidding? How big of a nutter do you really think that I am? I’ve never gutted or watched any other animal being gutted. As a teenager I worked at an old fashioned meat market and saw plenty of venison butchered up for the table and the rest used to make sausage, but the meat always came in pre-gutted.

A total farce. We’ll see how part 2 goes on Friday. I suppose we’re about to witness a complete turnaround from our kremlin stooge contingent here, now being totally enraptured with Western legal institutions. 🙂

Or perhaps like reading George Orwell’s 1984?

With salmon, I hear worms often come out, when it goes on the grill. If you buy it at a supermarket, you can’t return it because a certain number are expected.

I don’t know exactly how it works, and what they have to eat to get them, but I have heard some whales have worms like garden hoses, 30′ long.

Or perhaps like reading George Orwell’s 1984

am sure they have a bigger file on me than a group like the Stazi could ever imagine.

Am a looking foreword to most cookies being eliminated, which I expect later this year.

How and why? Who’s behind this?

Are you serious? Will I be tainted by association? 🙂

We grill a lot of salmon but have never noticed worms coming out. Maybe it’s a problem mostly with Pacific salmon?

German national interest is a massive neo-Russian Empire to their East?

Ukraine has managed to do a better job of ending Russian efforts to stop shipping from Odesa, than the West has done in preventing the Houthis from shutting down trade through the Red Sea 🙂

“ Ukraine has effectively countered Russia’s blockade in the Black Sea by establishing an alternative shipping corridor, crucial for maintaining trade — The Economist.

This corridor, initiated after a grain deal collapse, has seen nearly 500 vessels navigate safely through Ukrainian ports. Despite the inherent risks, including missile attacks and drone threats, Ukraine has managed to restore trade volumes in the Odessa region to nearly pre-war levels.”

“ The strategic importance of this alternative route is underscored by the fact that 60% of Ukraine’s trade used to pass through its deep-sea ports before Russia’s economic blockade. The corridor, carefully selected to avoid Russian submarines and backed by shore artillery, has not only proven successful but has also witnessed a significant reduction in insurance costs for ships using the route.”

Interesting looking blog and comments, but I’m not sure about Jim, the author’s, reasoning. He certainly makes a pile of assertions about Trump/ GAE/ Afghanistan etc. without providing any rationale. Interesting and sweeping claims without any bona-fides seem pretty worthless.

I’m pretty doubtful that anyone of consequence really thought that the Afghan muppets could maintain control after the US pullout. Even the MSM pundits were signaling regime collapse. The Afghan government surprised most in the speed of its’ complete collapse but not that in the fact that it did collapse.

I’m not surprised at the polling numbers on elites versus non-elites. Freedom is a concept fraught with risk if you are sitting on top of the pile. Which is why RW folks have finally and belatedly discovered that they should oppose government/corporate power. They had the illusion through at least the Bush years that the systems were on their side, which was a gross miscalculation. Too little too late.

They are both wrong. The reason the genetics is so bizarre is that the Jews are the seed corn for the gray aliens. The gray aliens are time travelers from future earth who have destroyed their genetic potentiality and are mucking around with the genes here-now to try and restart themselves then-there. They should have listened to their parents at age five: don’t play with matches–you will get burned.

Why does the IMF predict strong Russian growth despite sanctions?

IMF upgrades growth outlook for Russia and downgrades expectations for the eurozone.

The International Monetary Fund predicts strong growth for Russia’s economy this year, despite sanctions imposed for its invasion of Ukraine.

Russian Economic Growth

European nations trail well behind Russia in the IMF growth forecast.

What’s behind these figures?

Presenter: Adrian Finighan

Guests:

Chris Weafer – chief executive of Macro-Advisory strategic business consultancy focused on Russia and Eurasia

Erlend Bjortvedt – founder of country risk analysis company Corisk; sanctions expert who’s studied how Russian sanctions are being flouted

Anatol Lieven – director of the Eurasia Programme at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft”

That was too easy. Anything above zero would be a better job. It’s like being proud that your dog is smarter than Biden: too easy to count it as an achievement.

I was giving London Bob some material to work with in case he felt shy about going to the main thread and presenting his case direct. Trying to be helpful.

ਅਕਾਲ

Germany is a combination of a very developed society with political and social underdevelopment. They have been suppressed for so long that many Germans lost their sense of self. They can still be very smart and productive, but others run their lives…

The underlying dynamic is that when Germans try to lift their heads they are told by their Anglo overseers “but WW2!!!…and we saved you from the Russians!!“…whether it’s true or not doesn’t matter, it is such a taboo subject that even very smart people prefer not to touch it.

…German national interest is a massive neo-Russian Empire to their East?

German national interest is to have peace and prosperity – not to be dominated by one side or the other, but trade with all. All of the Central Europe has that national interest – but for the smaller states, there is also the danger of being dominated by Germany.

Look at the situation on the ground: there is no “neo-Russian” empire and there can never be – it is not economically and culturally possible, the demographics are not there. But we are already dominated by the remote Anglo Empire: pushing us into a war we don’t need, impoverishing us with cutting of trade and forced military spending, bringing in Third Worlders to make us more compliant and more like “them”…

Our national interest is in fighting realistic dangers. You make up scary monsters to be able to act as a monster. An old tactic and one that always eventually backfires. See the absolute f…ing disaster in Ukraine.

…Ukrainians are masquerading as wild animals to run away across the border

It is dangerous, uncomfortable and very risky. Imagine what the real opinions of the people are if so many are doing this…but we still have the Ukie die-hards quoting the official Kiev opinion surveys…

When it collapses we will get the horror stories of fear and incompetence. And the corruption…but I doubt the Western media will be interested.

Khazars.

Haplogroup debates.

Some of you are missing the fun.

Another discussion about The Jews on Unz? You can’t imagine how much I’m enjoying every moment of missing that fun.

When it collapses we will get the horror stories of fear and incompetence. And the corruption…but I doubt the Western media will be interested.

When the Ukie project collapses, the Western governments and subservient MSM will never mention this disaster, because the West is guilty of creating it.

However, Ukraine neighbors will be very much interested: Poland, Romania, and Hungary are already salivating over pieces of the corpse of Ukraine, which they confidently expect Russia to make ready for carving up.

I suspect that only Hungary has a chance of getting something as a reward for its behavior. Putin can organize a referendum in parts of Transcarpathia populated by Hungarians: naturally, they will overwhelmingly vote for joining Hungary. He might do that just for the pleasure of seeing entertaining contortions of Western propaganda. I might be amused, but won’t be surprised: the West lost shame long ago, and its propaganda lost all connection to reality, feeding the sheeple with comrade Ogilvy-style stories for many years. E.g., NYT, WaPo, CNN, and their ilk weren’t caught telling the truth in the last ten years.

…referendum in parts of Transcarpathia populated by Hungarians: naturally, they will overwhelmingly vote for joining Hungary.

It is a very complex issue. Transcarpathia as a whole can’t join Hungary – it has a 80% Rusyn-Ukie majority. It wouldn’t work, they are not going to learn the Magyar language, too hard. And splitting of just the Magyar majority areas would deprive Transcarpathia of its farming and make it even more of a remote joke-land.

For the other options – Romania taking Bukovina and Poland Galicia, the resulting Ukie minority populations would not be worth it. So the most likely outcome is that all these regions stay within the rump-Ukraine but with local autonomy.

If the morons in Kiev had any brains that’s what they would had done 10 years ago and there would be no ethnic hatreds or the war. It was such an obvious solution to Ukraine’s problems that the fact that it didn’t happen says that there was a much more important goal: turn Ukraine into a fanatically anti-Russian nationalist state in Nato and use it as a permanent threat to Russia. It didn’t work.

Now they don’t know what to do so they are stalling, changing personalities, dripping more money, and even more stupid lies. This will be fun…:)

So the E.U has just voted for an increase of energy costs to their farmers by approving a 55 billion euro gift to Ukraine.

Its amazing how the citizens of the European Union haven’t dragged these traitors into the street and hung them?

If I was Russia I would supply a few anti-ship missles to the Houthis with the strict undertaking that they’re to target E.U ships.

Lets see how smug these E.U elites are when the cost for energy skyrockets and makes the 55 billion look like chump change!

And splitting of just the Magyar majority areas would deprive Transcarpathia of its farming and make it even more of a remote joke-land.

Hungary had no problem in depriving Slovakia of its farming areas in 1938-1945.

It didn’t work.

FWIW, I’m neutral on the idea of a Ukrainian federal state, just so long as it’s done on the US or German or Austrian model, but have you ever considered that a genuine Russian federal state (as opposed to a merely token federation) might also be a good idea for Russia? Federations are useful in the sense that they allow for greater local experimentation and thus allow successes from one part of the country to subsequently be adopted in other parts of the country.

Just how many Third Worlders have showed up in Slovakia?

Germany tried that approach back in the late 1800s with the Three Emperors’ League. But it subsequently collapsed, twice, and then Russia allied with France and thus made Germany paranoid, which subsequently helped create the political climate for WWI breaking out in 1914.

How and why? Who’s behind this?

What I heard is that Apple already dealt with the problem on the I-phone. They cited privacy concerns of users.

Google is supposed to be following suit, later this year. Possibly it has something to do with eliminating their competition, in terms of paid clicks for ads. It will be in an update to Chrome. Don’t use it myself, but most browsers are based on Chrome, with Mozilla being the main exception.

But I certainly welcome it, as cookies have become really obnoxious, with virtually every site, including government ones, having cookies.

Are you serious? Will I be tainted by association? 🙂

My view of it is essentially this: intelligence services have massive budgets – more money than you or I could even conceive of. And they spend that money and greedily grab and keep all the information they can on everyone, and it is really easy too as they are embedded in all the big tech companies. Digital doesn’t have the man-power limitations that the Stazi had, so the files are bigger. If they have the interest in you to open them.

I read Snowden’s book, and he said they were trading candid pics of girls.

If the morons in Kiev had any brains that’s what they would had done 10 years ago and there would be no ethnic hatreds or the war.

Ukrainian leaders and elites from 1991 on were mostly concerned with stealing as much as possible. They thought that primeval cavemen-level nationalism is the best fig leaf to cover their thievery because the populace is dumb enough to buy it. Basically, their choice was either to curb their thievery and have sane national and language policy or steal to their hearts content and ruin the country. They chose the second option. They thought that selling out to the empire would prevent the ruin. It did not.

We grill a lot of salmon but have never noticed worms coming out. Maybe it’s a problem mostly with Pacific salmon?

Strongly suspect that it wouldn’t be as big of an issue in farmed fish. The fish meal shouldn’t contain the larvae.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisakis
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisakis#Anisakiasis

have read that many large ocean fish have worms. This is a reason why tuna and salmon for sushi are often frozen to kill these parasites.

Apparently, they can induce anaphylaxis in some people.

Also, some can infect people. You’d think the evolutionary split between marine mammals and humans would be big enough for some margin of safety. Would guess it is not necessarily easy, but it certainly does happen – the guts are similar enough.

And, IMO, last thing you want to do is consume some worms that infect some other species – sometimes they get confused when they get inside you and migrate to really bad places. At least, I know that happens with some terrestrial worms.

Its amazing how the citizens of the European Union haven’t dragged these traitors into the street and hung them?

Some Europeans (not only German and French farmers, but many in Brussels) protest, but in a “democracy” all protesters are dealt with harshly, like yellow wests in France. Only in “dictatorships” the rulers are trying to do what the populace wants. That explains high Putin’s and Xi’s approval in their countries, as well as dismal approval ratings of “democratic” leaders (mostly pathetic figureheads, not all of whom have an excuse of Alzheimer’s).

Judging by the evidence, Europe is kaput: the majority of Europeans are stupid enough to approve of Europe’s suicide. As far as Russia is concerned, it follows a sound policy “when you see your enemy committing suicide, do not interfere”.

If I was Russia I would supply a few anti-ship missles to the Houthis

Houthis are doing just fine as it is. The empire and imperial cocksuckers keep demonstrating their impotence. All Putin needs is popcorn.

Someone I know went to the bank today to make a deposit. They had a few coins in their pocket, they tried to get rid of. And the teller told them that they don’t accept unrolled coins. It was <$1.

I get that the dollar is totally worthless now, with inflation. And there might be some convenience argument about it affecting other people's time, who are waiting in line.

But I am inclined to say that all bankers should be exiled to the Congo and usury banned once again.

A lot of it, but it wasn’t the same. We have a lot of fertile river valleys…

Russian federal state (as opposed to a merely token federation) might also be a good idea for Russia?

Tatarstan, Chechnya and other federal states are definitely not token. The Russian majority states are less federal than they could be – it is justified by the danger of foreign meddling and resulting disintegration. If the West wants the German-Austrian model they will have to pull back on the massive and open interference in the domestic affairs of Russia. (I know that is hard, all the f…ing resources, too tempting.)

Russia is not sponsoring an open rebellion and separatism in Burgenland, Bavaria or Hawaii by buying politicians there. But the West insists on the right and duty to do so inside Russia – the weaker Russian federal model is a natural consequence. Actions tend to have counter-reactions.

Around 5k have stayed. Czechia has more than 100k. We are still among the most manageable countries.

Actions tend to have counter-reactions.

Newton’s third law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. But, that’s the reality. As we all know, the reality is politically incorrect. Just ask any libtard.

AP, I have a question for you: Had Russia avoided going Bolshevik in 1917, do you think that there would be any chance of large numbers of people who would have been prevented from moving to the US by the US’s 1920s immigration quotas moving to Russia instead? Or would this have mostly not been feasible since Russia was likely much poorer than the US and Western Europe were back then?

Interestingly enough, Crimea had some Italian immigration in Tsarist times:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italians_of_Crimea

And Volhynia had some Czech immigration in Tsarist times:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechs_in_Ukraine

Not too much; just several tens of thousands of Italians and Czechs in total. Barely a ripple compared to the numbers of Italians and Czechs who moved to, say, the US during this time.

Aren’t most Third Worlders in Czechia Vietnamese, though? That makes them very manageable.

To summarize: thieves were fooling the generally dumb population and at the end went for the full sell-out. Yeah, there is no way the evolution was going to allow that…

It happened before to some nations, e.g. native Americans were treated with the same approach – it just took a lot longer and many resisted. Ukies are unique in their total devotion to the “Anglos” and a thievery seldom seen on that scale…but the shiny trinkets were the same.

Parasitic worms are so gross they even get their own TV shows!

I suspect the real problem is that too many entrepreneurial minded Russians simply moved to Russian speaking areas in free countries. In fact that would help explain the success of the Baltics despite them having few resources. They were eventually gulped by the USSR but there would have been enough time for a generation of immigrants to spread their genes.

The Communists were really stupid during the Lenin years since it was the peak of blank slate. That was when the Russians still believed they were going to create a generation of geniuses that would surpass the West in all areas. Ironically they would have been better off accepting the reality of genetics for the benefit of Communism. But they tried believing in blank slate fairy tales up through the 30s. The New Man crackpipe was too hard to put down.

Is this like no new metro stations built in Kiev since 1991?

Thanks but I fall asleep just fine.

German national interest is to have peace and prosperity

And Russia was being peaceful by invading Ukraine and starting the largest war in Europe since World War II? You’ll argue that it was “preventative”, like the Iraq war, so that makes it okay.

If Russia takes Ukraine (very doubtful), high chance (30% at least) that the Baltics are next. Best way to limit war is to stop Russia in Ukraine.

All of the Central Europe has that national interest – but for the smaller states, there is also the danger of being dominated by Germany.

Adding Ukraine to Central Europe and using UK/USA as leverage or a balance, limits German domination over Central Europe. Pilsudski was right.

Look at the situation on the ground: there is no “neo-Russian” empire

Are you too dumb to understand that a neo-Russian Empire is what Putin is attempting to build by taking Ukraine? Yes, right now there is no neo-Russian Empire. And it is in Germany’s (and Central Europe’s) interest to prevent one from forming.

and there can never be – it is not economically and culturally possible, the demographics are not there

The Russian Empire included Central Asia, you know. It is a Eurasian Empire. Central Asian demographics are fine. Though Putin is bringing in Africans too now. The first stage would be Ukraine and Belarus, then the Baltics. Then, who knows? Trying to take the Baltics would mean a Polish war, these things spread.

Salmon farming has problems with parasites.

the crowded conditions cause a host of problems, including sea lice (for which they use pesticides) and many unicellular organisms such as protozoa.

But worms generally need to circulate through more than one species in their life cycles. Eliminate one in the environment and you eliminate the worms.

Technically, farmed fish can have worms. (Maybe some stuff gets through the net?). But I suspect that they would employ antiworm medicine in the feed, in cases where it might be a significant problem.

Antiworm medicine was actually derived from soil fungi that ensnare and eat worms. Selling it to pet owners has really paid off, but ostensibly it was developed to treat people in the Third World, even though there seemed no profit in it.

Not a bad article:
https://www.vice.com/en/article/d755kx/almost-every-kind-of-wild-fish-is-infected-with-worms

Strongly suspect that it wouldn’t be as big of an issue in farmed fish. The fish meal shouldn’t contain the larvae.

We grill Atlantic salmon from fish farms. We buy from Wholefoods, presumably they have some sort of quality control with their fish. Never noticed worms.

This discussion prompted me to look it up. It does, indeed, seem to be safe:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7844585/

” Despite the massive production of data in literature on parasitological surveys carried out on fresh salmon, no data are published on processed farmed salmon such as smoked products. In 2016, 270 slices of smoked farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and 13 smoked slices from wild sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) have been analyzed by visual inspection and UV-press method searching for the presence of anisakid nematodes. No parasites were detected in samples from farmed Atlantic salmon, while 10 out of 13 from wild salmon were positive for Anisakis simplex s.s. larvae.”

…Aren’t most Third Worlders in Czechia Vietnamese?

About half and many are fully integrated, speak the language and can hardly be distinguished. It is not a problem, there are a few thousand recent migrants roaming around Prague but almost all want to move further West. It is not a hospitable environment.

…the West is particularly eager for Russia’s disintegration, or at least wasn’t prior to 2022.

The West is not monolithic and powerful parts of the elite would like to see Russia’s breakup. Check out the neo-con and neo-libs – they talk about it openly, and did before 2022.

Technically, farmed fish can have worms. (Maybe some stuff gets through the net?). But I suspect that they would employ antiworm medicine in the feed, in cases where it might be a significant problem.

They really don’t give an F and farmed salmon are more likely to have lice and parasites. Farmed salmon is pretty awful for a lot of reasons. Don’t eat it.

Some fish like lingcod normally has worms. There is no regulation against it. Most people don’t know and simply eat it.

Getting some type of parasite from fish is extremely rare and you would need to eat it raw. Sushi is supposed to be frozen first and then thawed.

I honestly wouldn’t eat raw Sushi in the US. You have to trust that that fish was prepared properly and that the employees followed the rules.

We grill Atlantic salmon from fish farms. We buy from Wholefoods, presumably they have some sort of quality control with their fish. Never noticed worms.

You’ve eaten them many times.

The worms are hard to spot once the fish has been frozen.

This discussion prompted me to look it up. It does, indeed, seem to be safe:

I wouldn’t be worried about the worms.

I would be more worried about the chemicals they dump on the salmon. Also the PCBs from feeding them trash fish.

Getting some type of parasite from fish is extremely rare

depends on the disease and environment. In the US not common, but probably underdiagnosed.

In some places like SE Asia and Latin America, it is quite common. Foodborne trematodiases are estimated to infect 56 million/year.

And their effects can be quite serious in certain cases.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opisthorchiasis

you would need to eat it raw

Not correct. Underdone fish is infectious, unless heavily salted or exposed to ionizing radiation, but generally I believe they freeze it when they irradiate it to preserve flavor, so, for worms, it may be a bit redundant.

The West is not monolithic and powerful parts of the elite would like to see Russia’s breakup. Check out the neo-con and neo-libs – they talk about it openly, and did before 2022.

I haven’t seen such talk. Who are these neocons? Provide some sources.

What would a proposed breakup of Russian even look like? Breaking off Siberia and Chechnya? A couple more Stans? It really wouldn’t change anything economically for the West. The base of Russian power is in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Most of the country is a wildlife preserve. You could break off the Eastern 2/3 and the cities wouldn’t notice.

Putin has been raiding Eastern the minority oblasts for conscripts and they aren’t doing a damn thing about it.

Russia’s Asians are completely subservient to the emperor.

It’s pathetic.

AFAIK, the Russians in the Baltic countries have generally moved there when these countries were under Russian rule (either Tsarist rule or Communist rule), not when the Baltics were free. I don’t think that the free Baltic countries were very eager to accept large numbers of Russian immigrants for fear of a Russian demographic tsunami overwhelming their own countries and their relatively small populations.

The Communists were utter morons in driving out a lot of Russia’s cognitive elite during the Russian Civil War through their brutality, tyranny, and rhetoric. This in itself made it harder for Russia to recover, even aside from all of the Communist lunacy that they subsequently imposed upon Russia. And the Left SRs were utter morons, first in supporting the Bolsheviks and then in rebelling against the Bolsheviks and thus giving the Bolsheviks an excuse to outlaw and suppress them, thus creating a one-party state in Russia that lasted for over seven decades.

Oil-rich, mineral-rich, and natural gas-rich Siberia could be a useful ally for the West, no? But it’s much more worthwhile to make all of Russia pro-Western since I don’t think that Siberia has anywhere near as many Russian liberals as Russia’s two biggest cities (Moscow and St. Petersburg) have.

Do Czech Roma also want to move further west? It seems like from an Eastern European nationalist perspective, it would be desirable to encourage as many of their Roma as possible to move to Western Europe. The Roma get a better life that way and possibly get to experience less prejudice and discrimination that way while Eastern Europe peacefully reduces the size of its main underclass minority. And the Roma would still get to keep their Eastern European citizenships, obviously, so they could always come back home if necessary, such as if Western Europe will ever become a total dump.

I wish Aaron were here, as I would like to ask him what his favorite Indian movie is – I suspect he might have an interesting answer. Honestly, haven’t seen too many myself.

Despite its questionable revisionism, I enjoyed RRR because it was more masculine than most Hollywood movies, and I found the narrative easy to follow.

Though, I would have enjoyed it more if:
1.) The governor had killed a few Indians with his bare hands, to show how formidable he was. (Based on what I have seen of anti-Jap propaganda produced by the Chinese, I suspect they would not have made this mistake.)
2.) The English had used the N-word
3.) A minor Irish character beat the snot out of a minor Indian character called Varadkar. Scottish, Yousaf and English, Sunak or Khan. (But I suppose it is too much to ask the Indians to produce one’s own revisionism.)

In some places like SE Asia and Latin America, it is quite common. Foodborne trematodiases are estimated to infect 56 million/year.

Well of course we are not talking about the third world. People get all kinds of preventable diseases in the third world from improper food handling. There are still Africans that eat raw bushmeat which is f-cking insane

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opisthorchiasis

That’s mostly in SE Asia.

I am talking about America. It’s extremely rare because of flash freezing.

Not correct. Underdone fish is infectious, unless heavily salted or exposed to ionizing radiation

No it would not be in the US if it was frozen first.

Name the parasite in fish that people should be worried about. The presence of worms doesn’t mean they are a danger to you. They have to be evolved to adapt to your system. Inuit eat raw salmon all the time.

It’s shellfish that is far more likely to make someone sick.

Oil-rich, mineral-rich, and natural gas-rich Siberia could be a useful ally for the West, no?

I just don’t see it happening or changing anything.

At best it would function like an Indian reserve.

The pipelines would remain and the same Russian companies would manage the resources.

But it’s much more worthwhile to make all of Russia pro-Western since I don’t think that Siberia has anywhere near as many Russian liberals as Russia’s two biggest cities (Moscow and St. Petersburg) have.

I really don’t care if Russia is pro or anti Western. What I would like is for them to go back to their borders. I think the Russian people have proven that they aren’t interested in democracy or thinking for themselves. They want a dictator to take the burden of thinking so they can get back to important things like vodka and complaining about America. Maybe future generations will change but I am cynical. Even with the internet you see interviews of 20 year old Russians saying stuff like “I’m not interested in politics” or “It’s beyond us to understand”. It isn’t as if they are merely scared. They really don’t want to know. They want to focus on their own lives and shrug. This is exactly how the British described the Russians of the 19th century. I don’t think it is merely culture. I think the Tsars have bred a lapdog mentality into them and the naturally rebellious left for Western Europe and America.

Unlike Putin I’m not a globalist. I think Ukrainians should run Ukraine and Syrians should run Syria. Siberians can argue for autonomy but I don’t think it will happen. They aren’t fighting to keep their own men from being sent to the front. Why should anyone in the West argue for their separation when they don’t fight for themselves? There were more fraggings of officers in Vietnam. It’s pathetic.

I’m just going to stick with Emil Nikola Richard’s explanation that the Jews are a grey alien genetic experiment. It wins points for entertainment value and possible film rights.

Nobody wants to watch a movie about Khazars and Haplogroups.

I get your point but I’d like to reframe your question.

What kind of sucker donates to a politician?

AFAIK, the Russians in the Baltic countries have generally moved there when these countries were under Russian rule (either Tsarist rule or Communist rule), not when the Baltics were free.

I realize that but I think they basically lost a 1% entrepreneurial crust during the revolution. I suspect more of that 1% went to nearby countries than Europe or America. It’s easier and cheaper to flee into a country with a Russian minority or similar language.

The data also doesn’t show a large influx to the US after the revolution.

European immigration to America actually declined after WW1. There was actually more Russian immigration in the previous decades.

The Communists were utter morons in driving out a lot of Russia’s cognitive elite during the Russian Civil War through their brutality, tyranny, and rhetoric. This in itself made it harder for Russia to recover, even aside from all of the Communist lunacy that they subsequently imposed upon Russia.

I don’t think they ever recovered. They killed and chased out too many Zhivagos.

Russia has vast untapped resources and yet tiny Estonia has a higher standard of living.

I think part of Putin’s spite was in not seeing Russia rise to a great economic power as many predicted. Free market capitalism didn’t turn them into a Britain. They had actually hit economic stagnation under Putin.

They have to be evolved to adapt to your system

Not sound logic. Look up pics of elephantiasis (do not advise – it includes some of the worst images you can see), if you doubt it.

Nor is it fun to have a fluke that you got from eating a fish in your bile duct.

It’s shellfish that is far more likely to make someone sick.

could tell an interesting tale, but it might be too specific.

Speaking personally, as far as seafood goes, the thing I would be worried about the most would probably be salmonella. Have had salmonella poisoning before and it wasn’t fun. Some believe it killed millions of Amerinds.

When the Ukie project collapses, the Western governments and subservient MSM will never mention this disaster, because the West is guilty of creating it.

The advanced technology of the west is highly impressively though – they have developed 4-dimentional tech and managed to not only make all the western retards forget about the country……they have managed to erase even the Syrian civil war from being a time in history.Very impressive!

I would guess Bashar Al-Assad has close to zero name recognition in the west now, even though he was probably one of the top 10 names in the world from 2010-14. At least Saddam and Kaddafi still have the name recognition. Iraq and Libya too.
I could almost give sympathy for the head-cutting Syrian rebels….if only they had received the same absurd western PR campaign behind then as the drugaddict Ze and the rest of the Kvartal 95 freakshow in power, then at least they could be very rich.

I suspect that only Hungary has a chance of getting something as a reward for its behavior. Putin can organize a referendum in parts of Transcarpathia populated by Hungarians: naturally, they will overwhelmingly vote for joining Hungary.

I wouldn’t reward Hungary/Orban. Well maybe for receiving the Sputnik Vaccine ( and informing everyone that its the Soviet legacy that is why they are comfortable with vaccines from this part of the world)……but everything else is just anti-Russian actions, but SANE anti-Russian actions compared to the others.

The strange thing is that from all their contemporaries………Orban is the one with by far the most anti-Soviet/anti-communist “credit”……….and Medvedchuk is by far the most Ukrainian nationalist (and not just from his father) background compared to all the other snakes trying to get power in 404.

I thought you were into all those old lengthy Karlinstan haplogroup debates but I guess I was mistaken. I could swear there were a bunch of them that were about north Spain.

There was one item that nobody had brought up when I posted that and I still have not seen anybody bring up. Spencer Wells was the guy who almost invented the ancient DNA industry. And a few years ago he was cancelled. I did not think much about this at the time, but he was cancelled exactly for posting on twitter about Israel Palestine. He was the ancient DNA guy at the National Geographic Society and a professor at U Texas and poof vanished.

Probably a very very sore subject but his take on Ron Unz’s article would be great. Apparently everybody is too worn out to appreciate that there might be some DNA intervals from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Palestinian Arabs today and probably none in the Ashkenazi Jews. And all of the Ashkenazi DNA research is cooked. Or at the very least highly suspicious.

Wholefoods has some quality control for its farmed salmon:

Is a deeper and more intense Communist legacy the reason that the East Slavic countries are significant laggards in regards to corruption relative to the other Slavic countries? Even the fake Balkan Slavs (everyone other than Croatia and Slovenia–Slovenes are real Balkan Slavs and at least a part of the Croats are real Balkan Slavs as well) have a better record on corruption than the East Slavic countries, other than Belarus (which is roughly even with them), have:

It seems like the Slavic peak on the Corruption Perception Index is in the 50s or low 60s range. Can any of the East Slavic countries ever attain such a relatively low level of corruption? (A higher ranking/index means less corruption.) Ukraine, perhaps, if it is actually serious about joining the EU in the long-term or perhaps even medium-term?

I think part of Putin’s spite was in not seeing Russia rise to a great economic power as many predicted. Free market capitalism didn’t turn them into a Britain. They had actually hit economic stagnation under Putin.

From this and other factors, Russian nationalists concluded that Russia needed more people, so they decided to go bold and attempt an all-out conquest of Ukraine, which in turn resulted in the biggest mass killing of Slavs since Hitler’s time.

I realize that but I think they basically lost a 1% entrepreneurial crust during the revolution. I suspect more of that 1% went to nearby countries than Europe or America. It’s easier and cheaper to flee into a country with a Russian minority or similar language.

The data also doesn’t show a large influx to the US after the revolution.

European immigration to America actually declined after WW1. There was actually more Russian immigration in the previous decades.

I think that a lot of White Russian emigres moved to places such as France and perhaps Germany. France has at least one and possibly more White Russian cemeteries:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sainte-Genevi%C3%A8ve-des-Bois_Russian_Cemetery#:~:text=Sainte%2DGenevi%C3%A8ve%2Ddes%2DBois%20Russian%20Cemetery%20(French%3A,%2C%20close%20to%20Paris%2C%20France.

Russia lost a lot of its best people in the 1910s (emigration), 1920s (emigration), 1930s (purges), 1940s (WWII), 1990s (emigration), and 2020s (emigration). It really needs to adopt both transhumanism and eugenic pro-natalism to recover.

I think the Tsars have bred a lapdog mentality into them and the naturally rebellious left for Western Europe and America.

TBH, I think that Russians were much more rebellious in the late Tsarist era. But the Bolsheviks killed or gulaged most of the brave Russians who remained, which naturally created a more docile Russian population. Ukrainians were also fairly docile under Soviet rule but this began changing in the 21st century, especially in the more pro-Western parts of Ukraine. Ditto for Belarusians–with them being fairly docile under Soviet rule but having a bit of a spine and backbone in 2020 when Lukashenko rigged the 2020 presidential election over there in his own favor.

What kind of sucker donates to a politician?

Can be quite useful in a variety of circumstances, but I understand you were talking about the average Joe with some scruples and not bigshots who want a pardon or a kickback, or local psychopaths who want to steal their neighbor’s ability to park a car outside their house on the street or their second driveway.

I’m just going to stick with Emil Nikola Richard’s explanation that the Jews are a grey alien genetic experiment.

Heard that a lot of the abduction stories actually come from hypnotism and “recovered” memories.

Makes me suspect that the real hardcore alien enthusisiasts like Bigelow might be more suggestible. Also wonder if hypnotism has played any role in the creation of alien lore – specifically in regard to their attributes.

Why aliens are doomed!

PEACE 😇

They have to be evolved to adapt to your system

Not sound logic. Look up pics of elephantiasis (do not advise – it includes some of the worst images you can see), if you doubt it.

It’s biology and not question of logic.

A worm itself is not an inherent threat unless it is evolved to adapt to a similar system.

Heartworm for example common is in dogs but not people even though they share the same space as the mosquito that transmits it.

This is because human blood will kill the heartworm.

Both are mammals but one is vulnerable.

Nor is it fun to have a fluke that you got from eating a fish in your bile duct.

What are you even talking about? Fish in the US is flash frozen. There is no reason to be concerned with undercooked grocery salmon in the US.

Salmon is not pork. Even if you went and ate raw salmon in the wild you wouldn’t catch a parasite over 99.9% of the time. Flash freezing kills the worms. They aren’t evolved to be flash frozen OR inside a human stomach. There is no risk in searing a grocery store salmon fillet. The risk of eating salmon sushi actually has nothing to do with the salmon or the worms. The risk is in some mad at the world worker not giving an F and letting your thawed salmon touch the same area as some shellfish or raw meat.

What kind of sucker donates to a politician?

I can think of a valid scenario.

When the politician is an underdog and up against a Soros minion that is backed by dark money.

The current system allows politicians to be backed with outside money.

Soros has funded DAs that couldn’t explain their own donors. They get money from non-profit organizations with names like “people for justice” with few records. He has done this in small town races.

Soros just announced that he plans on flipping Texas.

So yes there can be good reasons to donate to a politician. There have been many cases in the US where a candidate was completely funded by outside sources. I find this to be insulting and both sides do it. However Democrats do it far more than Republicans. They depend more on a wealthy liberal 1% to spread around dark money.

But in general Americans should stop donating to the wealthy.

Old well-off British women seek black Gambian boy toys. Seriously.

Boy oh boy, Ukraine is so successful in anything they touch, they are a “superpower”…this all thanks to horilka I guess…they are on the way to surpass Zimbabwe, in 5 years. Thanks, AP for the update.

Although Odessa and Kharkiv are on the Russian annexation plan and nobody will stop them…they are nuclear superpower that can reach the snake head hiding anywhere.

I know the authors of this farce they just deposited 5 mill in their bank account from their demanding client for providing the right results – naivety is a plague.

Adding Ukraine to Central Europe and using UK/USA as leverage or a balance, limits German domination over Central Europe. Pilsudski was right.

You’re right about that. Poland + Czechia + Ukraine + Romania combined have slightly over 100 million people. You can also add the Baltic countries and now Finland into the mix as well. Unfortunately, Slovakia and Hungary are too unreliable nowadays. But that’s their problem.

I think Ukrainians should run Ukraine

They did, but have broken the EU standard for treatment of minorities, especially the Russian minority in Donbas (2014-2022). However, the corrupted hypocrites in Brussels decided to support Ukraine in killing Russian minority in Donbas. Those hateful unwashed bastards still insist on supporting minorities everywhere.

Ukraine’s treatment of the Donbass was very, very gentle compared to how EU candidate country Turkey has dealt with its own Kurdish separatist rebellion.

John Johnson and A123, I have a question for you: I previously flirted with this idea several years ago, but if life for the Shi’a Hazara people will become unbearable in Afghanistan, what about encouraging some of them to resettle in Syria? One would think that the Assad regime would welcome this since it would help solidify their demographic control over Syria. Or is Syria too much of a dump for them to be eager to move there, even from even dumpier Afghanistan? FWIW, the Hazaras are the most pro-Western segment of Afghanistan’s population even nowadays, when all of Afghanistan lives under Taliban rule.

Here’s an article about them:

https://thediplomat.com/2024/01/the-plight-of-hazaras-under-the-taliban-government/

Another option would be to resettle them in Iran if you guys aren’t eager to resettle them in the West, but resettling them in Iran is less geopolitically significant than resettling them in Syria. A 6 million population increase for Iran won’t be a huge deal. It’s less than 10% of the total Iranian population. But it would be a much bigger deal for Syria and for its ruling Assad family. Syria currently has just slightly over 20 million people, after all. Increasing Syria’s population by 6 million would increase it by almost 30% and increase its non-Sunni population (Sunnis are, on average, less loyal to the Assad regime) by much more than that.

…Do Czech Roma also want to move further west?

Not in large numbers, so that won’t work. People who want to move are generally educated, unattached to families, speak foreign languages and score low on sociability. That is just the opposite of Romas.

There are some who go for the easy money – often double dipping at home. But they are not going permanently. There are not that many of them, few percentages in very specific regions.

Ukraine’s treatment of the Donbass was very, very gentle compared to how EU candidate country Turkey has dealt with its own Kurdish separatist rebellion.

Russia’s response to the Kiev regime has been tame when compared to Israel’s action in Gaza and the West Bank.

The story of the first half of the last century was German seeking to assert their supremacy over Eastern Europe, at Russia’s expense, we are back to that again. Although I don’t see today’s leaders of Germany as independent actors.

I see the regional bank crisis is back in the US, those large CRE loans aren’t being paid back, indeed often the interest isn’t paid too. Far too big a black hole in the balance sheet. Powell has no interest in bailing out the special interests on Wall Street, speculator no longer have the taxpayer covering their losses.

Notable how many companies in the US are announcing lay offs, large ones too, timing for the November election is just perfect.

Plenty of Roma in the UK, the women beg in the streets while the men do other things.

Three people have been found guilty of human trafficking after an eight-year police investigation. It found young women were being trafficked from Romania and made to work in brothels in the Swindon area. Gigi Ciobanica, 46, of Grasmere Road, Birmingham, Priyantha Yakdehige, 54, of Vasterne Close, Purton, and Cristina Olaru, 31, of Commercial Road, Swindon, were convicted on Tuesday at Winchester Crown Court, after a 10-week trial.

Agree, but I think this has already been done.

The aliens are the Ferengi in the Star Trek, The Next Generation series.

“I don’t see today’s leaders of Germany as independent actors”

Understatement of the decade!

To be fair, the EU’s not very independent either. So much for that independent foreign policy I used to read about in the Guardian.

A worm itself is not an inherent threat unless it is evolved to adapt to a similar system.

I promise you, you don’t want Dirofilaria in your eyeball, and some worms not co-evolved with humans will wander around in the brain.

It is rare, as I already said many posts ago, but most horror stories are.

What are you even talking about? Fish in the US is flash frozen.

possibly if you live somewhere in middle America, you have never actually seen fish that really is fresh.

Some restaurants will quote you a price on the day, or you can catch it yourself. Or, buy it in many markets.

Gazans don’t have Ukraine’s air defenses. But, Avdiivka, Bakhmut etc. certainly have a lot in common with Gaza.

IMO, the Ferengi were far superior to George Lucas’s Watto character.

One reason being that they had time to boil and develop. Another because human actors are more relatable than CGI.

“Trump finally elaborates on his Ukraine position. He says he’ll get the European countries to match what the US is sending to Ukraine. That’s not a call for cutting off arms to Ukraine — it’s a call for increasing arms. He also once again brags that he increased funding to NATO”

@ Songbird/ John Johnson
Yeah, there are perhaps valid theoretical reasons to financially support certain politicians. I can’t think of any I would give money to though. I’ll keep an open mind if any Mr. Smith comes along.

I’ve been listening to a podcast in the evening with my wife regarding alien and UFO stuff. It’s from a more skeptical bent so far, which is fine. Better that than leaning too much toward credulity. The podcast is hosted by a guy named Toby Ball and I can’t say that it’s really worthwhile other than being mildly interesting background while I’m doing 3D modelling work.

After season 1 there was an interview with some lady who apparently believes that aliens are all about earthly race dynamics. I only heard 5 minutes before I shut it off but believe me, it was plenty to get her shtick.

You see, Ancient Aliens theories are racist ’cause it assumes that black and brown people can’t build cool stuff on their own. Nobody assumes that aliens were necessary to create Notre Dame, ’cause that’s White Supremacy in action!

Also, Grey’s represent a mixture of white and black races and their impersonality, malignant intent, and violating abductions have a lot to do with whitey’s fears around race and miscegenation.

Nordic aliens are also racist as Hell since they are benevolent and are so white they glow in the dark. Where are the Magical Negro aliens, one may ask?

It was pretty stupid yet hilarious and I guess goes to show that literally everything can get tied back to racism.

Syria currently has just slightly over 20 million people, after all. Increasing Syria’s population by 6 million would increase it by almost 30% and increase its non-Sunni population (Sunnis are, on average, less loyal to the Assad regime) by much more than that.

The ME is filled with pockets of minorities. Not sure why you would focus on one over the other.

The Suni/Shia spat has been going on forever.

Really should not be the White man’s burden.

Increasing Syria’s population by 6 million would increase it by almost 30% and increase its non-Sunni population (Sunnis are, on average, less loyal to the Assad regime) by much more than that.

Syria has a pretty lousy economy. They’re just not in a place to absorb that many people.

As you know Russia has propped up the Assad dictatorship. Russia provides rent a thugs in exchange for a cut of the gas. Assad wouldn’t want millions of Shia when Russian thugs do the job of suppressing the rebels. Syria needs to take back Syrians in Europe. Turkey has over 1.5 million of them.

Ukraine’s treatment of the Donbass was very, very gentle compared to how EU candidate country Turkey has dealt with its own Kurdish separatist rebellion.

They should have sent in special forces on day one. Zero tolerance for anyone that pulls a gun on an elected official.

Did you watch the Vice videos on the separatists? It was just sad as to how soft the Ukrainian government responded. It was the Ukrainian nationalist militias that took the initiative because the government was so weak. There was never shelling of the area by the Ukrainian military. That was completely made up by Putin supporters. I’ve asked for a source on that over a dozen times and not a single one has even explained where it happened.

The DPR militia was made up of goons and was only able to take power due to Russian interference. It was really like watching local drunks take over a city council and then in come Russian Spetsnaz with masks to back them. Igor Girkin even said it was Russia that did the work.

If Ukraine had cracked down on the fake leaders then the movement would have failed. The same is true for Crimea. Shoot a couple of the drunk leaders and the rest will go home. The Spetsnaz wouldn’t have been able to stand in the background and pretend they are locals.

One special forces operation could have ended it. The Ukrainian government just didn’t have the guts and underestimated Russian interference. Didn’t help that the US had Obama and his lack of resolve. The affirmative action president.

However, Ukraine neighbors will be very much interested: Poland, Romania, and Hungary are already salivating over pieces of the corpse of Ukraine, which they confidently expect Russia to make ready for carving up.

Why not just be honest and admit that it’s really you that’s salivating over the prospect of Ukraine disappearing from the map, Professor Janissary? Born in Ukraine of a Ukrainian mother, along with your hatred of Shevchenko, there’s no doubt about it, you’re a classic Ukranophobe. I don’t know who’s really more despicable, you or kremlinstoogeA123? You both serve the interests of the “evil empire” as the last great American president Ronald Reagan named Russia.

Why carve Ukraine up? Why not give it all to Russia?
Are you still mailing in your ballot to Moscow, all the way from Nashville, Profesor?

Scientology is actually an ancient alien theory.

I don’t think they have ever officially explained historical racial inequality.

As with most religions I think they just try to ignore it for the sake of inclusion.

But I really don’t know. I once started reading about Scientology but had to stop because I found it sickening. Calling it a religion is being nice. We know what it is.

I would guess Bashar Al-Assad has close to zero name recognition in the west now, even though he was probably one of the top 10 names in the world from 2010-14.

Mentioning Assad in the West is now politically incorrect. Fact is, all Western scum that kept repeating “Assad must go” is gone, whereas Assad not only remains an undisputed leader of Syria, but is in a much stronger position internally and internationally than he was back then. As the West cannot acknowledge an abject failure of its idiotic policies, the only viable strategy for Western propaganda is to pretend that he does not exist.

When there is no data or one corner of a huge jigsaw puzzle anything goes.

The Suni/Shia spat has been going on forever.

Sunni/Sunni and Shia/Shia spats are also endemic. Sunni Turks versus Sunni Kurds. In Iraq, Persian Shia and Arab Shia are separate factions.

XYZ makes a huge assumption that Afghani Shia would be compatible with Syria’s Alawite Shia.

Syria needs to take back Syrians in Europe. Turkey has over 1.5 million of them.

I concur. It will take years to fix the current problem.

This should be obvious to XYZ. I am unsure why he made the suggestion.

I thought you were into all those old lengthy Karlinstan haplogroup debates

No, I wasn’t. I’m not even sure why people debate haplogroups when we have autosomal DNA. There must be a reason but my understanding is that the former provide much less genetic information than the latter these days.

I did take part in a debate or two with Bashibuzuk on his Bell Beaker and Corded Ware theories (from a skeptical position). I believe I showed him quite conclusively that he was wrong on his associations with modern populations but he disengaged at that point. Maybe that’s what got you confused. BB and CW talk is even more esoteric than haplogroups but that was my point. If I remember correctly, he was linking modern conflicts in Europe to some old struggle between the BBs and the CWs.

north Spain

Spain? That’s a country, isn’t it? I think I’ve heard of it but can’t locate it on a map right now. We Basques are not very good at geography. Other than our French neighbors to the North, who are a total nuisance but at least a rather developed people, we don’t care much about anyone else.

Holy crap

Ukraine takes out an armored column with FPV drones:

Some real lucky motherf-ckers at 1:55

Not sure why they think it is a good idea to drive around when an explosive in the windshield.

“Leverage to balance” is control by the Anglos – at least pretend to a neutral language.

“Geographic spread of the Neo-Russian Empire” – let’s see:
– Crimea and Donbas are Russian ethnically and it was a mistake to attach them to Ukraine. After Maidan Kiev mishandled and lost them – you don’t get to ban people’s language, schools and tell Russians living there they have to join Nato – military alliance that exists to fight Russia. It was stupid and it backfired.

– Rest of Ukraine: Russia wants to prevent any danger from there – they are creating a wide buffer zone. Is that fair? Not really, but if Kiev would act rationally it would not be happening. Kiev bombed civilians in a stronger country on behalf of the Anglos. So Russia will clobber them – US does that too…

– 80% of people in Belarus declare Russian as their native language – they have lived together for 1,000 years, same religion, mentality. Why is that an “empire”?

– Baltic mini-states have 25-30% Russian minorities who have lived there for generations. If the Balts simply treated them like equal citizens with normal Euro rights there would be no problems. If they don’t there will be – but how is that an “empire”? When France asked for Quebec to allow French equality was that an “empire”? Get a hold of your crazy exaggerations.

Poland? Nobody will touch them with a ten-foot pole, why would anyone care? The only danger to Poland is to be the ground zero of the potential nuke exchange. It was extremely unlikely before, now it is 15-20% chance. And obviously Poland would be the primary target – it is of no real interest to either side (Poles? do you actually think anyone in the West would care?) and shouting loud to volunteer. Not a smart policy.

Russian Empire included Central Asia…It is a Eurasian Empire.

So? What’s wrong with Central Asia? Are they any worse than the Third World masses crowding into US and Europe? You racism is sickening. Those nations have lived around each other for hundreds of years, why your obsessive hatred? Russia is a Euroasian country and has been for 400 years – a lot longer than US. And they didn’t exterminate the natives, is that what bothers you? This is getting really bizarre – the failed imperial dream (“Poland-Galicia…”) combined with some really ugly Nazi-like shallow racism. You should worry instead about Mestizos beating up your cops and Nigerians robbing you blind.

Really? Who could they be? You are reaching levels of piggish idiocy not seen before…maybe you should read more.

Breaking off Siberia…

You are getting warmer. That is specifically what the fanatics like Brzezinski and Allbright said openly in the 90’s…But you don’t know how to use Google, so we are wasting time…

Get back to us when you figure out who are the “neo-cons” and “neo-libs”. It is not hard. Check out the half dozen wars they started in the last generation. Or is that also something you missed? Not enough info in your WalMarts?

Many very young Ukrainian civilians are parlaying their considerable gaming skills into real life military resources. In addition, the Ukrainian military is training 10,000’s of drone operators in batches too. While the military waits for larger shipments of big ticket items to arrive, drone manufacturing, or actually drone reconfiguring, proceeds at an exponential rate. Off the wall small commercial drones are tinkered with in order to create deadly weapons that can even take down Russian tanks and trucks. A whole new uniquely Ukrainian cottage industry has emerged within Ukraine where everybody has a vested interest in keeping the country free and safe of the dreaded “orcs”:

The actual Neocon movement fizzled years ago:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoconservatism

And I’m still waiting for that source. Show me these Neocons that are talking about carving up Russia.

You and other Putin defenders have a consistent pattern in being unable to provide a source for what you take as obvious statements.

I realize on pro-Putin blogs it’s acceptable to throw out rhetoric like “Neocon/Neolib world order blah blah” but in an open forum you need to explain yourself.

If you mean Jews then say Jews. The original Neocon gang no longer has influence. They were out before Trump’s election. Bill Kristol is ignored by practically everyone. He opposed Trump in favor of Hillary which cemented his exclusion in conservative circles. He bet on the wrong horse.

If everything is so obvious then you should have no problem providing names and sources.

Yeltsin let Ukraine go , not because because he respected the will of the Ukrainians but because he wanted nothing to interfere with him attaining supreme power. He also failed to control Chechenia What the people in charge of a country are supposed to do is maintain and if practible increase their state’s perceived power relative to other states. Russian leadership since Yeltsin has been more a reaction against him not doing his job, than American leadership doing theirs. Realising that as a result of having a drunken clown leading Russia the West had ceased to take anything the Kremlin said at all seriously, Russia has broken off a piece of Ukraine, and it is pretty clear that Russia is intent on holding on to it; Ukraine is not getting it back down. It is a status thing .for Russia.

Beckow often likes to augment his questionable views with unverifiable sources. Some like AP don’t dilly dally around (can you blame him?) and call it outright “lying”. I like to think of it as the private terrain of a first class fantasist, or just plain jane “sloppy” argumentation. 🙂

I’m scrolling past comments in this blog more than ever before but I haven’t been able to avoid seeing a moron up there stating that Ukraine never shelled civilian areas in Donbas, like the one where your mother used to live or your childhood school was located. He added that a special operations team could have ended not only the Donbas rebellion but also the Crimean breakup.

Granted, we’re talking about the top moron of the moment, some unfortunate spillover from the maddest corners of Unz that he should have never left. But how much lower can the discussions here get? What’s the point of debating anything here if it’s people like that who are going to respond to you?

And why is it always the Laxas, the Dragons, the XYZs and the JJs who don’t seem to have any comments per hour limits? (though to be fair, the former two were very disruptive but at least not utter morons)

…the original Neocon gang no longer has influence

How stupid can you pretend to be when caught? Who are the never-Trumpers and the libs running Washington and London? I don’t care for their names? Try Graham or Sunak-Starmer. They run the policy.

Look, you are trying an infantile defense of the indefensible and pretend that it all “ended” – Nato started half a dozen wars in the last generation, never regretted any of them, they killed up to 1 million people, now there is Gaza etc… If you don’t know that, just go on gorge on the quality WalMart “breads”…we are not going to do the reading and research for you.

You are not serious and refuse to address points.

I find this new call for reparations in Brazil quite bizarre and amusing.

“What debt? I have never enslaved anyone in my life,

Doesn’t Bolsonaro realize that the sins of his great, great. great, great grandfather transfers down to any progeny? I’m thinking of taking Gerard to some international court and suing him for the injustices done to my serf family during the reign of Peter the Great. Most people don’t realize that slavery (and make no doubt about it, serfs were slaves) includes white conscripts too. How about you? Any English (London Bob perhaps?) that you’d like to sue for the injustices perpetrated on your ancestral clan?

Just to dispel some of the distortions of truth posted above.

Baltic mini-states have 25-30% Russian minorities who have lived there for generations.

First, of all the Baltic States are not “mini-states” but relatively large (by European standards) and geographically sensitive lands that were historically desired by their neighbors. That is still relevant even today and especially today, as the world changes.

Indeed, certain Russians and other Slavs, including Poles and Belarusians, have resided in that region over some periods (granted, never in overwhelmingly large numbers – historically, their proportion has never been as high as it is today, which is mostly due to the Soviet occupation). Worth noting is that there is historical presence of various nationalities, like Balts, Poles, and Ukrainians in what is now known as the Russian Federation – except that those nationalities have lived on the territory of Russia as an integral part, not as short-term colonists. In ancient times, Baltic tribes were dispersed across large swaths of the European part of Russia, reaching as far as present-day Moscow. Some scientists argue that there is a considerable genetic presence of Balts and Poles in the Russian population.

(President Zelensky has recently emphasized the indigenous connection of Ukrainians to significant areas within the present borders of the Russian Federation.)

But it is a fact that the majority of Eastern Slavs in the Baltic States are relatively recent arrivals – in fact, some of them have arrived in the recent years (both as political emigres and economic migrants), probably still arriving as we speak. So to give every or any Russian or Russians as a group the status of, let’s say, Old Believers, is simply not objective.

The comparatively smaller presence of Soviet Slavs in Lithuania can be traced back to the 1940s-50s when Lithuanian guerrillas fought the NKVD and successfully dissuaded potential colonists from arriving in substantial numbers. In contrast, the Latvians, despite their resistance efforts, were too fatigued and depleted from the war. (This is a lesson – do not leave unresolved problems to the next generation).

It’s a distortion to pile all Russian speakers into one homogeneous group, as they have diverse life stories and motivations. For instance, expecting Russian-speaking Jews who arrived in the Baltics in 1940 as part of the Soviet occupying forces to have the best interests of those countries in mind is just naive. And yet such Jewish individuals have, in some instances, risen to leadership roles within movements that actively combatted the independence of the Baltic States (and the Baltic identity).

On a happier note, a considerable portion of the Russian speakers are loyal and deeply integrated, a vital and indispensable part of a thriving society, while only a fraction – some of whom identify with antifa – not only oppose the current order, but openly expresses disdain for the Baltic States and their people. Without acknowledging this complexity one cannot have an objective understanding of life in this region.

Yet the true picture is deliberately distorted to advance Russia’s imperialistic objectives and efforts to destabilize its neighboring countries with the intention to create chaos and then attempt to exert control over this space. The potential victims (if such attempts were to be taken too far), most of whom would be Russian speakers, are of no concern for the Kremlin.

The reality is that the majority of Russians in the Baltic States are citizens of those states and of the EU. Each Slavic child born automatically becomes a citizen, and currently, less than 20% of newborns are of Slavic descent. Over the past 30 years, this population has had separate schools, media, and other institutions. Russia has systematically used this demographic as a means to exert pressure on the Baltic States (and possibly further). Given the circumstances created by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it becomes crucial to offer additional support, particularly to the more vulnerable members of this population, such as children, who may now bear the consequences of the long-term policy pursued by the Russian Federation.

Europe has turned, and the moment of truth has arrived. These Russian speakers need to make a decision as to who they want to be with. Most of them want to be with Europe.

Let me finish with some candid words from the European freedom fighter Denis White Rex (who grew up in Russia) from an interview with an Estonian newspaper:

“- In the Baltic countries and Estonia in particular, many Russian-speaking residents sincerely believe the Kremlin propaganda and are waiting for the Russian army to come here. Does it need to be explained to these people that they will be the first to be tortured, when, and if, those who are now trying to conquer the Ukrainian lands come here?

– Well, what can I say to these people… As an immigrant with great experience, I want to remind them that, for some reason, they do not live on the territory of the Russian Federation. Perhaps because they don’t want to live there?

Russia is the homeland to all of us*, of course. But Russia today is a country that is best loved from afar. If you really want to become part of the “Russian world”, if you really want to fully feel everything that comes with being a citizen of the Russian Federation, you need to leave your current point of stay in Estonia and return to Russia. There is a repatriation program there. It is working, even if in a revolting way – it is mainly ethnic non-Russians who come to Russia through it. You can try it, too.

It’s probably possible to wait for the arrival of Russia in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Ukraine. You can probably even associate some aspirations with this. But at the same time, it’s definitely worth looking at what Mariupol looks like, after having already received the arrival of the “Russian world”. Or review once again what Bucha and Irpen’ looked like after the occupation. If someone continues to experience any illusions, cherishes some innermost aspirations, then it makes sense to see what awaits them.”

* by “us” he means Russian nationals (both inside and outside of the Russian Federation).

Off the wall small commercial drones are tinkered with in order to create deadly weapons that can even take down Russian tanks and trucks.

I’m still amazed that they figured out how to disable T-72s with small FPV drones.

The Russians abandon the tank and leave the hatch open.

Then another drone comes and drops a nade.

He also once again brags that he increased funding to NATO”

He also said the NATO should be abolished and US military should come home…that helped him in 2016. Wanted to run America as a business. Democrats overruled all his inauguration program by nonstop concocted litigation and fake dossiers. His base support is solid but his energy is down by aging.

Do you have a single quote from a Neocon talking about carving up Russia? Just one?

If not then just say “I don’t” like a man.

Not sure if an open forum is your thing.

You have a hard time backing your statements and keep referring to Walmart. Do you think that bothers me? I like Walmart. In fact I probably need to get some bread. I don’t need eggs at the moment but unlike Russians I can get them at any time and we don’t have to stand in line for them.

If you mean Jews then say Jews. The original Neocon gang no longer has influence.

Yes , it is so incredibly obvious; what with the old gang having been so strongly supportive of Israel, which all can see is getting zero support from Washington at present.

I haven’t been able to avoid seeing a moron up there stating that Ukraine never shelled civilian areas in Donbas

There are many morons here, but some are worse than morons: liars. Or maybe they are an illustration of the saying that no one can be as blind as a person who does not want to see. Ideological people are often intentionally blind, that’s why we have pro-Ukies and flat earthers.

And why is it always the Laxas, the Dragons, the XYZs and the JJs who don’t seem to have any comments per hour limits?

Now, that’s a valid question that should be addressed to Ron. I hope it’s not what the Russian joke implies: “to friends – everything, to enemies – the law”.

the former two were very disruptive but at least not utter morons

JJ recently asked Beckow who are the neo-cons. There can be only two reasons for a “person” (I am not sure that JJ personage is a person) asking this question: 1) clinical idiot; 2) shameless liar.

But, Avdiivka, Bakhmut etc. certainly have a lot in common with Gaza.

Don’t forget to mention Mariupol here!

And worth noting that Gaza is overcrowded as Hell, so it’s harder to avoid civilian casualties there relative to Ukraine. If Gaza was more sparsely populated (with a much larger total territory), then likely considerably less Gazan civilians would have gotten killed by Israel.

And why is it always the Laxas, the Dragons, the XYZs and the JJs who don’t seem to have any comments per hour limits? (though to be fair, the former two were very disruptive but at least not utter morons)

I actually do have a three comment per hour limit.
