No. SOME of the goals - the pre-conditions - were specified.
Do you honestly believe that the Russians reveal their end game to the West? That's naive.
They've spent a lot of time explaining since the SMO started that the problem is NATO,. not Ukraine per se. That's where one has to look for the end goal. Even before the SMO started, they explicitly said that if NATO continued to place Moscow at risk from missiles 5 to 10 minutes away that they would take "military-technical measures" to reproduce that condition for the West. THAT is why Ukraine has to be taken off the board and a counter to the Aegis Shore installations installed.
"they would take "military-technical measures" to reproduce that condition for the West."
Correct. And that is also why Belarus was ramped up to take missile systems as well right next door to Poland.
People have poor memories Richard - Russia was saying all thru 2021 they had no ntention to invade, all thru jan/feb 2022 they said they weren't going to invade. Yet people still assume they can take what is said verbatim. Crimea and four oblasts provides zero security to Russia than what they had in 2021. Putin and the leadership are not as "naive/circumspect" as they were in 2014 or during the Minsk agreement period anymore. The US/UK cards are all face up on the table now. Go Putin!

❝. . . the entire establishment in the Western world is attacking Russia in unison. The propaganda machine is in full swing in an effort to make the whole world hate Putin and take Ukraine’s side in the war. The same propaganda machine that wants nothing more than you as a White person to stop having children and instead focus on your career, race-mix or become homosexual. What this establishment wants you to think is often a very good indicator of what you should absolutely not think, and by this measure, Russia appears to be the side to support 100%.
From a global geopolitical perspective, if we theorize from the unlikely idea that this conflict will lead to a third world war, then all pro-Zionist liberal monster-nations like Great Britain, France, Germany, the United States and, of course, Israel itself would side with Ukraine, while more traditional and sovereign anti-Zionist forces would likely stand behind Russia. Mark my words when I say that the Nordic Resistance Movement will NEVER stand on the same side as Israel or the Zionist entity that the USA represents today – whatever the issue or conflict may be!
If we look at the situation from a revolutionary point of view, it is also natural to support Russia. By challenging the USA and the Western world, one acts against the status quo – the present situation that must be destroyed in order for any true changes to take place, and for us National Socialists to be able to make real progress. The more the current ruling powers are challenged, and the harder the world economy is combated, the greater the chance for widespread disruption, which is a necessity for the Nordic revolution to become fact. Please note that I do not mean the coming changes will necessarily be better for us; however, in the dramatic situation in which we find ourselves, we must see hope in every potential radical change that arises within the global environment.❞
You are reading far too much into what Putin said, and how that is being *interpreted* and *assumed to mean* by others.
If Russia has military options or definite plans to move on all of Ukraine up to Nato borders of Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania -- then Putin WILL NOT be telegraphing it to the whole world openly in public. Be rational and realistic here.

thanks richard.. these are insightful comments, typical of you.. we'll see how it plays out... many unpredictable possibilities are conceivable... the most obvious one might be the collapse of the ukraine front, at which point a lot of other possibilities rear their heads... thanks again for the update and response here to mearsheimer..
Well said. Gorbachev threw away the Iron Curtain 1.0, so now Putin has to rebuild it. The West hasn't changed its view of Russia in nearly 200 years, Eastern Others that have to be tamed and dominated. Taking all of Ukraine will also help keep the Moldovan compradors in check, and connect Russia with Hungary, Slovakia and Serbia (through Hungary). If the West/Poles get stupid about Kaliningrad, that curtain may include a chunk of Lithuania.
The problem has always been NATO, and the Finns will regret their utter stupidity and the mendacity of a certain woke woman.
The Frankfurt School adapted Marx’s theories on revolution to include Freud’s theory of the subconscious. The Cultural Marxists’ main focus was to reshape the subconscious of Western men and women and thus create new type of person: one who would react passively to provocations of all kinds.
Cultural Marxists encourage abortion, birth control, divorce, homosexuality, “carrier women,” drugs, miscegenation, the destruction of the traditional family, and unrestricted immigration of racial foreigners into white countries. This is a reflection of what the Cultural Marxists preach: white reproduction is evil, and that which prevents white reproduction is good.
Bolshevism and Jewry are two words for the same thing. Peace is Bolshevism’s worst enemy, which it must destroy in order to realize its plans for world domination. Thus, Bolshevism’s ever-repeated life and death declarations of battle against the whole of the world become all too understandable.
Get ready for it . . . the fat old devil worshipping fags on Capitol Hill, on Wall Street, in Whitehall, and in Brussels are in no shape to fight a war themselves, and most Americans are armed to the teeth with their own guns . . . NATO hates heterosexual white men . . . they said so themselves . . .
Russians are not going to give up the Western Ukraine; Cuba with the US base in Guantanamo Bay comes to mind. Russians wouldn’t have to develop that part of the country, the worst off it gets the better for them it becomes. They just need to make sure nobody else enters the region.
Also, l suppose Donetsk/Lugansk guys can’t wait to get their hands on their former western countrymen, so
perhaps, when the dust settles, it’s going to be a mix of former Eastern Ukrainian guys as the regional executive power with “rehabilitated” nationalists as their mussel presiding over those lands .
Yes, it's quite likely that Russia will use some of the Donbass militias troops, now integrated into the Russian army, as part of the forces in the western Military District and eastern Ukrainians as the mainstay of whatever civil administration is installed.
It would be logical - and that's how I figure these things out, on logic, not based on "what Russia wants" or "what Putin said", like most people.
Of course, I'm not always right since humans aren't logical. I think Putin may have really wanted to just get Ukraine to surrender in March, 2022 - if so, he was naive. And now he's explicitly saying how naive he was, especially about the West. Which to me is a clear indication that he now sees the correctness of the General Staff plan.
I agree with your logical approach: it’s always the question of what is best way forward to maximize the safety of the state.
On Putin…
I think it was Jeffrey Sacks who had a chance to talk to the former Russian Prime Minister Primakov after NATO finished dismembering Yugoslavia. Primakov told him that this made Russians realize they were next.
I have a vague suspicion that Putin needed to convince people of Russia of what he already knew about the West, and the best way to go about it was to appear overly trusting of the West and waiting for the West to make its move wile getting the country ready for the inevitable face off .
The Ukrainian parliament is full of Jewish apparatchiks . . . Jewish U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff (D), great grandson of Jacob Schiff (who funded Bolshevism, Leon Trotsky, and the October Revolution from Wall Street) is following in his great grandfather’s footsteps by illegally trafficking weapons with Igor Pasternak (seated behind John Kerry in the link below), funding foreign conflicts abroad . . . and trying to get Syria for the oil pipelines by blaming the Russians for another false flag . . . ISIS = Khazar = Kiev junta = Zionist IMF
Barak Obama's mentor Zbigniew Brzezinski (Mika’s father, next to Nancy Pelosi in the link below) was the monster in the Carter administration who armed and financed the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan to fight against the Soviets... after the Mujahedeen were armed with sophisticated weapons, the Soviets left, the result was the USA got 911, and women now can walk 3 paces behind the donkey, the Mujahedeen evolved into the Taliban, who evolved into Al-Qaeda, who evolved into ISIS/ISIL/Daesh . . . Brzezinski, for all practical purposes, can be called the ‘Grandfather of ISIS.’
Jews Albright and Clark (on the right in the link below) had NATO bomb Serbia so the IMF Jews could make loans for rebuilding and get control of Serbian iridium assets . . . while Saudi non-profit NGOs kept the KLA terrorists well fed and well-armed . . . Just like ISIS in Syria . . . their Zionist bedfellows on Wall Street want Ukraine for GMO grain crops . . . Monsanto (now Bayer), Genentech, ADM, etc., are all buying land with the help of the Jews at the IMF by giving the Ukrainian “Dill” idiots debt relief . . . IMF = Israeli Military Fund
Putin doesn't have an interest in western Ukraine. The problem everyone has is assuming Russia "wants" this or "wants" that. It's not a question of "want." It's a question of Russia's security. Russia will do what is necessary and that means putting its air defenses right next to those Aegis Ashore installations.
Putin never wanted this war. Happened anyway. Putin wanted Ukraine to capitulate in March , 2022. Didn't happen and here we are. Now there is only one solution: the General Staff's Plan B.
People like Mercouris and Christoforou think like "civilians". They don't think like states or leaders of states. This is why they are always lamenting how he doesn't understand why the US does what it does or Israel or Ukraine or whoever.
I'm an individualist anarchist. I'm not blinkered by an inability to understand the nature of the state. Also I have no morals or ethics so I don't have a problem assessing what someone will do based on human nature.

"Also I have no morals or ethics so I don't have a problem assessing what someone will do based on human nature." I appreciate your analysis of the subject matter of this article, Richard. And I must take issue with your comment I've quoted- your morals and ethics appear fairly clearly from what I've read so far- your 'code' seems to be a fearless search for truth amidst much prevarication, many lies, considerable avarice, lots of misdirection. It seems to be impatience with BS and falsehoods which cause pain and confusion and ruin. You seem to be driven by logic as opposed to wishful thinking.
Your assessment of me agrees with my self-assessment.
The problem is that most people don't see "morals" as "guidelines" as the dictionary says: they see them as universally applicable and enforced by guilt and in most cases law. And "ethics" are "rules" imposed by society. I've always viewed "ethics" as more "guidelines" than morals; you tend not to be prosecuted for "ethics violations", depending on the industry involved.
Both, as I said elsewhere in a post, are basically intended to "paper over" basic human nature which is based on hierarchical primate power relationships and controlled by emotion rather than reason.
Further, I commend to you German philosopher Max Stirner:
Of Washington's lost Ukrainian Proxy War to weaken Russia and pillage its resources, perhaps the greatest and most feckless imperial play, something of a progress update.
The long and rich history of the contemporary genocides of the cultured, cultivated Europeans, The Americans and the Brits., to nominate yet a few.
Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) have every right to say what they like about Israel and the genocide of Palestinians as elected members of the US House of Representatives; they never took an oath to serve Israel . . .
I voted for Ron Desantis (R-FL) to be governor of Florida, not ambassador to Israel.
The recently ousted Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Congressman Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who took at least a dozen votes to get elected speaker, traveled to Israel immediately upon his election, declaring to the Israeli Knesset that the USA is steadfastly committed to supporting Ukraine in their war against Russia . . .
Was he running for speaker of the Israeli Knesset too?
Following his ouster . . . McCarthy (R-CA) traveled abroad again, this time to England, and expressed his open contempt for the white Republicans who make up the majority of the GOP and praised Democrats for their diversity during a debate at Oxford in the wake of his ouster as House Speaker . . .
Is he now running for the Prime Minister of the U.K.?
Nevertheless, he is free to go on media tours bashing white people and lobbying for Israel, because he has now resigned from the US House of Representatives . . . I can only conclude that the collective RINO butthurt over former Speaker McCarthy is all about the Israelis who have hijacked the American deep state war machine.
It has become so painfully obvious, especially where you have someone like Nikki Haley wagging her finger and shouting down Vivek Ramaswamy in a presidential debate on live national television when the questions of this Ukrainian war against Russia and any mention of Israel are concerned, that the United States government has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Israeli Political Action Committee.
K. McK.'s address to The Oxford Union was puerile, it relied on no-one having any sense of the recent history and he pulled out the old "Axis of Evil" narrative to reapply it to new enemies.
The old Axis of Evil was predicated on Iraq having WMD's. No WMD's. No Axis of Evil.
John Kerry more recently declared that yes, they didn't have WMD's but we didn't know it.
Actually they did.
_____
North Korea not been attacked. Why? They have WMD's and they know that too. Nuclear.
Most recently, as reported, the Russian Government has provided North Korea with a major heavy ICBM class.

Here you go Richard .... much confirmation is popping up.
quoting ---
The United States has a much higher stake in Russia's war on Ukraine than most people think. A Russian conquest of all of Ukraine is by no means impossible if the United States cuts off all military assistance and Europe follows suit. Such an outcome would bring a battered but triumphant Russian army right up to NATO’s border from the Black Sea to the Arctic Ocean.
The sudden collapse of Western aid would likely lead sooner or later to the collapse of Ukraine’s ability to hold off the Russian military. Russian forces could push all the way to the western Ukrainian border in such a scenario and establish new military bases on the borders of Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania. The Russians are preparing occupation military forces to handle the almost inevitable Ukrainian insurgency while leaving front line troops free to threaten NATO.
The Russians have expanded their army’s structure to fight the war and have indicated their intention of retaining the larger structure after the war.[5] They could readily station three full armies (the 18th Combined Arms Army and the 25th Combined Arms Army newly created for this war and the 8th Guards Combined Arms Army) on the borders of Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania.[6]
Wait a second, so the completely dead, battered, beaten and defeated, poor Russian army, who—according to MSM—had had 95% casualties thus far, is suddenly able to muster 3 entire full-fledged field armies just for the task of securing the Polish border?
That is a veritable universe of difference with what’s allowed for public consumption.
ISW (Institute for the Study of War) is a DC-based neocon cutout run by Kimberly Kagan, sister-in-law to PNAC neocon Robert Kagan, husband to Victoria Nuland. In fact you can see the report itself is undersigned by Robert’s brother, Frederick W. Kagan as well.
If these psychopathic Neocons shills are saying this so openly there's reasons for it ... it's another sign/confirmation Russia taking all of Ukraine [ and moving Missiles to Nato's borders asap ] is a definite strategic/tactical possibility now.
Things have moved on a lot since 2021 which triggered the conflict -- remembering that it was UKRAINE moving it's newly trained military along the Donbass contact line readying for an attack that Russia originally first responded to in early 2021
Yes, I saw that yesterday. I was surprised that ISW confirmed my predictions even it was for their own propaganda purposes in drumming up support for Ukraine.
You are correct that this war actually began in 2021. It was at that moment that both the Russian treaty proposals of December, 2021, and the Russian war plan for 2022 were started.
Funding Both Sides: How Jewish Money Controls British Politics . . .
“During the previous Labour government, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were ardent Zionists because they accepted the justice of Israel’s cause, not because Labour’s chief fund-raisers were first the Jew Michael Levy and then the Jew Jonathan Mendelsohn (both are now members of the House of Lords). And during the current Conservative government, David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson have been ardent Zionists because they too accept the justice of Israel’s cause, not because the Conservatives’ chief fund-raisers have been first the Jew Sir Mick Davis and then the Jew Sir Ehud Sheleg.”
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said in an interview with Interfax
- Serhiy Oleksiyovych, if and when denazification, demilitarization takes place as a result of the special military operation, and if Ukraine acquires a guaranteed neutral status, will this be enough for Russia to feel safe from the United States and NATO, or are there any other steps needed to make this happen?
- According to our forecasts, is the issue of restoring or at least returning to normalcy Russian-American relations a matter of decades, or can it still happen in our lifetime?
- It is obvious to me that we are in a long historical period, at least a deep freeze in bilateral relations. And this confrontational potential, this confrontational charge, it is so significant that it will be quite difficult to get rid of it. The problem is that it is extremely difficult for the US ruling circles to come to terms with the changing world order. And many of them are simply organically incapable of moving away from thinking in terms of their own superiority.
The other day, the Americans put into operation a missile defense base in Poland. And we used to say that the Aegis missiles that are deployed there are designed not only for anti-missiles, but also for launching cruise missiles, which were banned by the INF Treaty. Do we not see the opening of this base as a signal that it is time for us to respond as well?
- Judging by the eagerness with which the United States is moving towards the practical implementation of its plans for the early deployment of ground-based intermediate-range missiles, almost the only obstacle on this path was the incomplete development of advanced weapons of the appropriate class by the American military-industrial complex. Recently, however, the real progress that the Americans have made in this area has been noticeable, and some elements of such weapons are already sporadically appearing "in iron" outside the national territory of the United States, in particular in Europe. In recent days, there has been a lot of talk that the deployment of such systems in the Asia-Pacific region is about to begin.
There should be no doubt about our determination to respond materially to Washington. Judging by the course of events, the moment is ripening when the necessary political decisions in Moscow can be made quickly. Our response will not be long in coming.
Afghanistan VDV Counter-insurgency tactic was largely successful since Russia is a land power and does not have the attrition problems. Same applies to Indian Counter-insurgency warfare against Assam and Commie rebels.
I think, this is wrong, because it does not take into account what happened 2014, the war between 2014 and 2022 , what Merkel said about Minsk II , the role of the USA in these events and what Putin said about his goals.
I think Putin feels betrayed by the west and therefore will exactly do what he always said. He will occupy (free) the rest of the Donbas republics. Then establish the rest of Ucraine as some sort of „buffer state“ like Belarus is and Ucraine was until 2014. He will not rely on any securitiy gurantees by UNO or someone else.
He will not go into a war with NATO. It is obvious that he wants to keep NATO out in this conflict because he does not want a third WW, which he cannot win, because nobody can win a global nuclear war.
A totally different question is whether he really will be able to implement all this. You know it is war.
If he doesn't trust the West (which he doesn't, that part is correct), why the hell would he allow the rest of Ukraine to remain under the West's control? How the hell does Russia insure the rest of Ukraine is a "buffer" without controlling the rest of Ukraine?
I think that Russia's concerns explain why the SMO has been moving so slowly. The plan is multi-faceted and includes Russia's foreign relations with the rest of the world. Another facet is that Russia's military has had to be slowly and rationally built up in order to deter NATO from what putting missiles near Russia. The nuclear option is just in the background--the real tool is the ability to project conventional forces to use as diplomatic tool to gradually discourage NATO from their constant imperial ambitions. We know that all the stupid talk of Russia's ambitions, strategies, and tactics are precisely the ones NATO shares--Ukraine (NATO), for example, is always talking about "human wave attacks", massive Russian losses, press-ganging reluctant people into the military and so on and so on. It is only the USA that has the ambition to completely control the globe (and outer space), US and Europ elites believe, religiously, in the "destiny" of the USA as the new Rome. This has been the case from the beginning if you look at the older buildings in Washington. Neither Russia or China want to rule the world and this is something the Washington foreign policy elites (I know whereof I speak) in answers to criticism of US foreign policy that "it's either the Chinese of us will rule the world so it better be us" this is the mantra they use to bridge over all the horrors that the US has laid on the world--as Madeline Albright dramatically exclaimed, yes the lives of half-a-million children in Iraq are worth it to pursue the Blobs interests. The implication is that future generations will lionize Albright and her neocon colleagues. They won't--this notion of reconstituting the Roman Empire is never going to work--there will be many and more sophisticated Houthis in the next century that will always thwart the imperialists.
Everyone in the west is certain that they know what Putin's plan is. "I suspect", "presumably" and other conditionals accompany their theories.
The goals of the SMO were stated clearly at the beginning. They are the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine. That process continues apace.
No. SOME of the goals - the pre-conditions - were specified.
Do you honestly believe that the Russians reveal their end game to the West? That's naive.
They've spent a lot of time explaining since the SMO started that the problem is NATO,. not Ukraine per se. That's where one has to look for the end goal. Even before the SMO started, they explicitly said that if NATO continued to place Moscow at risk from missiles 5 to 10 minutes away that they would take "military-technical measures" to reproduce that condition for the West. THAT is why Ukraine has to be taken off the board and a counter to the Aegis Shore installations installed.

Correct. And that is also why Belarus was ramped up to take missile systems as well right next door to Poland.

Well said. Gorbachev threw away the Iron Curtain 1.0, so now Putin has to rebuild it. The West hasn't changed its view of Russia in nearly 200 years, Eastern Others that have to be tamed and dominated. Taking all of Ukraine will also help keep the Moldovan compradors in check, and connect Russia with Hungary, Slovakia and Serbia (through Hungary). If the West/Poles get stupid about Kaliningrad, that curtain may include a chunk of Lithuania.
The problem has always been NATO, and the Finns will regret their utter stupidity and the mendacity of a certain woke woman.

The Frankfurt School adapted Marx’s theories on revolution to include Freud’s theory of the subconscious. The Cultural Marxists’ main focus was to reshape the subconscious of Western men and women and thus create new type of person: one who would react passively to provocations of all kinds.
Cultural Marxists encourage abortion, birth control, divorce, homosexuality, “carrier women,” drugs, miscegenation, the destruction of the traditional family, and unrestricted immigration of racial foreigners into white countries. This is a reflection of what the Cultural Marxists preach: white reproduction is evil, and that which prevents white reproduction is good.

Bolshevism and Jewry are two words for the same thing. Peace is Bolshevism’s worst enemy, which it must destroy in order to realize its plans for world domination. Thus, Bolshevism’s ever-repeated life and death declarations of battle against the whole of the world become all too understandable.

I think this is a superb analysis. Thank you!
You're full of sh-t. Russia has no such plans.
I tend to agree.
Russians are not going to give up the Western Ukraine; Cuba with the US base in Guantanamo Bay comes to mind. Russians wouldn’t have to develop that part of the country, the worst off it gets the better for them it becomes. They just need to make sure nobody else enters the region.
Also, l suppose Donetsk/Lugansk guys can’t wait to get their hands on their former western countrymen, so
perhaps, when the dust settles, it’s going to be a mix of former Eastern Ukrainian guys as the regional executive power with “rehabilitated” nationalists as their mussel presiding over those lands .
Yes, it's quite likely that Russia will use some of the Donbass militias troops, now integrated into the Russian army, as part of the forces in the western Military District and eastern Ukrainians as the mainstay of whatever civil administration is installed.
It would be logical - and that's how I figure these things out, on logic, not based on "what Russia wants" or "what Putin said", like most people.
Of course, I'm not always right since humans aren't logical. I think Putin may have really wanted to just get Ukraine to surrender in March, 2022 - if so, he was naive. And now he's explicitly saying how naive he was, especially about the West. Which to me is a clear indication that he now sees the correctness of the General Staff plan.
I agree with your logical approach: it’s always the question of what is best way forward to maximize the safety of the state.
On Putin…
I think it was Jeffrey Sacks who had a chance to talk to the former Russian Prime Minister Primakov after NATO finished dismembering Yugoslavia. Primakov told him that this made Russians realize they were next.
I have a vague suspicion that Putin needed to convince people of Russia of what he already knew about the West, and the best way to go about it was to appear overly trusting of the West and waiting for the West to make its move wile getting the country ready for the inevitable face off .

Putin doesn't have an interest in western Ukraine. The problem everyone has is assuming Russia "wants" this or "wants" that. It's not a question of "want." It's a question of Russia's security. Russia will do what is necessary and that means putting its air defenses right next to those Aegis Ashore installations.
Putin never wanted this war. Happened anyway. Putin wanted Ukraine to capitulate in March , 2022. Didn't happen and here we are. Now there is only one solution: the General Staff's Plan B.
People like Mercouris and Christoforou think like "civilians". They don't think like states or leaders of states. This is why they are always lamenting how he doesn't understand why the US does what it does or Israel or Ukraine or whoever.
I'm an individualist anarchist. I'm not blinkered by an inability to understand the nature of the state. Also I have no morals or ethics so I don't have a problem assessing what someone will do based on human nature.

Senior Defense Department leaders celebrating yet another Pride Month at the Pentagon sounding the alarm about the rising number of state laws they say target the LGBTQ+ community, warned the trend is hurting the feelings of the armed forces . . . “LGBTQ plus and other diverse communities are under attack, just because they are different. Hate for hate’s sake,” said Gil Cisneros, the Pentagon’s undersecretary for personnel and readiness, who also serves as DoD’s chief diversity and inclusion officer.

"Also I have no morals or ethics so I don't have a problem assessing what someone will do based on human nature." I appreciate your analysis of the subject matter of this article, Richard. And I must take issue with your comment I've quoted- your morals and ethics appear fairly clearly from what I've read so far- your 'code' seems to be a fearless search for truth amidst much prevarication, many lies, considerable avarice, lots of misdirection. It seems to be impatience with BS and falsehoods which cause pain and confusion and ruin. You seem to be driven by logic as opposed to wishful thinking.
At least that's how I'm understanding 'morals' and 'ethics'- I found this particular article helpful- https://www.dictionary.com/e/moral-vs-ethical/. Thanks for your good work.
Your assessment of me agrees with my self-assessment.
The problem is that most people don't see "morals" as "guidelines" as the dictionary says: they see them as universally applicable and enforced by guilt and in most cases law. And "ethics" are "rules" imposed by society. I've always viewed "ethics" as more "guidelines" than morals; you tend not to be prosecuted for "ethics violations", depending on the industry involved.
Both, as I said elsewhere in a post, are basically intended to "paper over" basic human nature which is based on hierarchical primate power relationships and controlled by emotion rather than reason.
Further, I commend to you German philosopher Max Stirner:

and his one main book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ego_and_Its_Own
Thanks, I'll check these out.

Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) have every right to say what they like about Israel and the genocide of Palestinians as elected members of the US House of Representatives; they never took an oath to serve Israel . . .
I voted for Ron Desantis (R-FL) to be governor of Florida, not ambassador to Israel.
The recently ousted Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Congressman Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who took at least a dozen votes to get elected speaker, traveled to Israel immediately upon his election, declaring to the Israeli Knesset that the USA is steadfastly committed to supporting Ukraine in their war against Russia . . .
Was he running for speaker of the Israeli Knesset too?
Following his ouster . . . McCarthy (R-CA) traveled abroad again, this time to England, and expressed his open contempt for the white Republicans who make up the majority of the GOP and praised Democrats for their diversity during a debate at Oxford in the wake of his ouster as House Speaker . . .
Is he now running for the Prime Minister of the U.K.?
Nevertheless, he is free to go on media tours bashing white people and lobbying for Israel, because he has now resigned from the US House of Representatives . . . I can only conclude that the collective RINO butthurt over former Speaker McCarthy is all about the Israelis who have hijacked the American deep state war machine.
It has become so painfully obvious, especially where you have someone like Nikki Haley wagging her finger and shouting down Vivek Ramaswamy in a presidential debate on live national television when the questions of this Ukrainian war against Russia and any mention of Israel are concerned, that the United States government has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Israeli Political Action Committee.

K. McK.'s address to The Oxford Union was puerile, it relied on no-one having any sense of the recent history and he pulled out the old "Axis of Evil" narrative to reapply it to new enemies.
The old Axis of Evil was predicated on Iraq having WMD's. No WMD's. No Axis of Evil.
John Kerry more recently declared that yes, they didn't have WMD's but we didn't know it.
Actually they did.

Thanks Hack . Very plausible plan and those folks in Transnistria need to get some breathing room and stretch their legs too.
Here you go Richard .... much confirmation is popping up.
quoting ---
The United States has a much higher stake in Russia's war on Ukraine than most people think. A Russian conquest of all of Ukraine is by no means impossible if the United States cuts off all military assistance and Europe follows suit. Such an outcome would bring a battered but triumphant Russian army right up to NATO’s border from the Black Sea to the Arctic Ocean.
The sudden collapse of Western aid would likely lead sooner or later to the collapse of Ukraine’s ability to hold off the Russian military. Russian forces could push all the way to the western Ukrainian border in such a scenario and establish new military bases on the borders of Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania. The Russians are preparing occupation military forces to handle the almost inevitable Ukrainian insurgency while leaving front line troops free to threaten NATO.
The Russians have expanded their army’s structure to fight the war and have indicated their intention of retaining the larger structure after the war.[5] They could readily station three full armies (the 18th Combined Arms Army and the 25th Combined Arms Army newly created for this war and the 8th Guards Combined Arms Army) on the borders of Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania.[6]
Wait a second, so the completely dead, battered, beaten and defeated, poor Russian army, who—according to MSM—had had 95% casualties thus far, is suddenly able to muster 3 entire full-fledged field armies just for the task of securing the Polish border?
That is a veritable universe of difference with what’s allowed for public consumption.

ISW (Institute for the Study of War) is a DC-based neocon cutout run by Kimberly Kagan, sister-in-law to PNAC neocon Robert Kagan, husband to Victoria Nuland. In fact you can see the report itself is undersigned by Robert’s brother, Frederick W. Kagan as well.
If these psychopathic Neocons shills are saying this so openly there's reasons for it ... it's another sign/confirmation Russia taking all of Ukraine [ and moving Missiles to Nato's borders asap ] is a definite strategic/tactical possibility now.
Things have moved on a lot since 2021 which triggered the conflict -- remembering that it was UKRAINE moving it's newly trained military along the Donbass contact line readying for an attack that Russia originally first responded to in early 2021
Yes, I saw that yesterday. I was surprised that ISW confirmed my predictions even it was for their own propaganda purposes in drumming up support for Ukraine.
You are correct that this war actually began in 2021. It was at that moment that both the Russian treaty proposals of December, 2021, and the Russian war plan for 2022 were started.
Funding Both Sides: How Jewish Money Controls British Politics . . .
“During the previous Labour government, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were ardent Zionists because they accepted the justice of Israel’s cause, not because Labour’s chief fund-raisers were first the Jew Michael Levy and then the Jew Jonathan Mendelsohn (both are now members of the House of Lords). And during the current Conservative government, David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson have been ardent Zionists because they too accept the justice of Israel’s cause, not because the Conservatives’ chief fund-raisers have been first the Jew Sir Mick Davis and then the Jew Sir Ehud Sheleg.”

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said in an interview with Interfax
- Serhiy Oleksiyovych, if and when denazification, demilitarization takes place as a result of the special military operation, and if Ukraine acquires a guaranteed neutral status, will this be enough for Russia to feel safe from the United States and NATO, or are there any other steps needed to make this happen?
- According to our forecasts, is the issue of restoring or at least returning to normalcy Russian-American relations a matter of decades, or can it still happen in our lifetime?
- It is obvious to me that we are in a long historical period, at least a deep freeze in bilateral relations. And this confrontational potential, this confrontational charge, it is so significant that it will be quite difficult to get rid of it. The problem is that it is extremely difficult for the US ruling circles to come to terms with the changing world order. And many of them are simply organically incapable of moving away from thinking in terms of their own superiority.
The other day, the Americans put into operation a missile defense base in Poland. And we used to say that the Aegis missiles that are deployed there are designed not only for anti-missiles, but also for launching cruise missiles, which were banned by the INF Treaty. Do we not see the opening of this base as a signal that it is time for us to respond as well?
- Judging by the eagerness with which the United States is moving towards the practical implementation of its plans for the early deployment of ground-based intermediate-range missiles, almost the only obstacle on this path was the incomplete development of advanced weapons of the appropriate class by the American military-industrial complex. Recently, however, the real progress that the Americans have made in this area has been noticeable, and some elements of such weapons are already sporadically appearing "in iron" outside the national territory of the United States, in particular in Europe. In recent days, there has been a lot of talk that the deployment of such systems in the Asia-Pacific region is about to begin.
There should be no doubt about our determination to respond materially to Washington. Judging by the course of events, the moment is ripening when the necessary political decisions in Moscow can be made quickly. Our response will not be long in coming.

Crypto Developer Found Dead 2 Days After Exposing CIA and Mossad Pedophile Ring . . .

Afghanistan VDV Counter-insurgency tactic was largely successful since Russia is a land power and does not have the attrition problems. Same applies to Indian Counter-insurgency warfare against Assam and Commie rebels.
I think, this is wrong, because it does not take into account what happened 2014, the war between 2014 and 2022 , what Merkel said about Minsk II , the role of the USA in these events and what Putin said about his goals.
I think Putin feels betrayed by the west and therefore will exactly do what he always said. He will occupy (free) the rest of the Donbas republics. Then establish the rest of Ucraine as some sort of „buffer state“ like Belarus is and Ucraine was until 2014. He will not rely on any securitiy gurantees by UNO or someone else.
He will not go into a war with NATO. It is obvious that he wants to keep NATO out in this conflict because he does not want a third WW, which he cannot win, because nobody can win a global nuclear war.
A totally different question is whether he really will be able to implement all this. You know it is war.
If he doesn't trust the West (which he doesn't, that part is correct), why the hell would he allow the rest of Ukraine to remain under the West's control? How the hell does Russia insure the rest of Ukraine is a "buffer" without controlling the rest of Ukraine?
People just don't think this stuff through.
I think that Russia's concerns explain why the SMO has been moving so slowly. The plan is multi-faceted and includes Russia's foreign relations with the rest of the world. Another facet is that Russia's military has had to be slowly and rationally built up in order to deter NATO from what putting missiles near Russia. The nuclear option is just in the background--the real tool is the ability to project conventional forces to use as diplomatic tool to gradually discourage NATO from their constant imperial ambitions. We know that all the stupid talk of Russia's ambitions, strategies, and tactics are precisely the ones NATO shares--Ukraine (NATO), for example, is always talking about "human wave attacks", massive Russian losses, press-ganging reluctant people into the military and so on and so on. It is only the USA that has the ambition to completely control the globe (and outer space), US and Europ elites believe, religiously, in the "destiny" of the USA as the new Rome. This has been the case from the beginning if you look at the older buildings in Washington. Neither Russia or China want to rule the world and this is something the Washington foreign policy elites (I know whereof I speak) in answers to criticism of US foreign policy that "it's either the Chinese of us will rule the world so it better be us" this is the mantra they use to bridge over all the horrors that the US has laid on the world--as Madeline Albright dramatically exclaimed, yes the lives of half-a-million children in Iraq are worth it to pursue the Blobs interests. The implication is that future generations will lionize Albright and her neocon colleagues. They won't--this notion of reconstituting the Roman Empire is never going to work--there will be many and more sophisticated Houthis in the next century that will always thwart the imperialists.
Agreed. This is the best thing we should do: become those "sophisticated and many Houthis."
