Re: Russia's enemy countries
its fascist roots. While tolerance and "democracy" were leveraged since WWII as a way to fight off communism, they were also
propped up by a high standard of living. The EU is now entering a severe economic crisis without cheap Russian energy. It has
two options to deal with this existential crisis: anarchy or dictatorship.
Analysis of various statements by German officials since the 1990s and other EU leaders reveals a dark underlying theme. We now
have Borrell (supposedly who "fought" against the Franco regime in Spain) openly acting like a militant racist asswipe. German
politicians complain that Russia was not pacified after 1990 (Merkel) and say it that it needs to suffer like the Germans in 1945 and accept
humiliating defeat (some other German clown). The treatment of Russians (not Russia and its politicians) after February 24 is outright
hate-based discrimination. There was nowhere near this level of abuse during the Cold War.
In a post a while back I surmised that the woke "leftist" retardation gripping the NATzO west is not a simple social decay but is rather
a ploy for a fascist revanche. Leftism is being smeared to death by association with child genital mutilation and woke degeneracy.
The NATzO "left" is too busy hating white (i.e. indigenous) males to care about worker's rights and real leftist issues. Recall that
fascism was offering itself as a sort of pro-worker movement early last century but bridging the workers with the oligarchs. The
socialist left was fighting against the oligarchy where it was not co-opted. So we may see a rapid transition to fascism in the "leftist"
EU as the population is impoverished and radicalized against the woke degeneracy.
It looks like we may be heading for WWIII. Ukraine is just the start and the fighting is already between Russian and NATzO. As things
go south in the EU NATzO component, the proxy war will likely escalate into an open war on Russia. This is not alarmist nonsense since
wars pivot over economic factors. The EU is sinking into the toilet and is going to come out of the closet with its desperation to seize
Russian resources. I have heard Albright and others yap about how Russia has an "unfair" control over land and resources (that makes
Canada much worse, BTW). The western European drang nach osten has been going on for 1000 years. It is not something that is
a historical fossil. It is part of the societal genome of "Europe". The frothing at the mouth Poles, Czechs, Baltics, etc. confirm that the
anti-Russian crusader mindset is alive and well.
People can dismiss WWIII on the basis of magical nuclear deterrence. But that implicitly assumes rationality. History is driven by an
amalgam of elite planning and mob hysteria. The talk about taking out Russia's nuclear weapons in the western MSM since the 1990s
tells me that the lunatics are mostly in control of the asylum. Rationality is not guaranteed to prevent WWIII.

Re: Russia's enemy countries
Political scientist Trukhachev: Voting on the anti-Nazi resolution in the UN General Assembly demonstrated the isolation of the West and Japan.
We need to actively work with countries that do not have an openly anti-Russian position. The vector of this work should be directed to the countries of the non-Western world, as well as to Switzerland. Political scientist Vadim Trukhachev came to this conclusion from a conversation with the VZGLYAD newspaper. Earlier, the UN General Assembly adopted a Russian resolution on combating the glorification of Nazism.
"The results of today's vote in the UN General Assembly are a step in the right direction. Separately, I would single out the fact that Turkey and Switzerland abstained from voting. That is, one European country and one NATO member country decided not to go against Russia. Let me remind you that earlier the Turks have always voted for anti-Russian resolutions at the UN, and the Swiss have abstained only for the second time,” said Vadim Trukhachev, Associate Professor of the Department of Foreign Regional Studies and Foreign Policy of the RSUH.
“In addition, it is worth noting that South Korea, one of the key allies of the United States and a very developed country, abstained from voting. It turns out that she may be out of step with her allies,” the source argues.
“As for the German vote, here you should not pay attention to the word “Nazism” in the resolution. European countries and in particular Germany are voting against it simply because it is a Russian resolution. In fact, they are now in a state of cold war against us and reject everything related to our country, ”the expert believes.
“It is bad that the delegations of Iran and Venezuela were absent from the voting, which would potentially be for us. The vote of the countries of Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America in favor of the resolution is a welcome step. It turns out that the collective West and Japan have become isolated to some extent,” Trukhachev said.
"However, so far too many countries are voting for resolutions condemning Russia for “violating the territorial integrity of Ukraine”. Now it is about half of the states, and at first it was generally two-thirds, ”the political scientist said.
"The stable anti-Russian core is 54 countries, since I would still include Turkey, Switzerland and South Korea here. Approximately the same number of countries do not vote against Russia. Thus, these two groups make up about half of the total number of states that are members of the UN,” he added.
“And it is with the remaining half that we need to work now so that they at least abstain or support us in their vote. Now we have relative success in this direction, but we should direct the spearhead of this work to countries outside the Western world, ”the expert believes.
“Switzerland can become the key area of work in Europe, no matter how strange it may look. I believe that Swiss companies can be given more privileges to work in Russia, somehow distinguish this country from other Europeans,” Trukhachev said.
In turn, historian and political scientist Vladimir Kornilov, in a conversation with the VZGLYAD newspaper, noted that Germany's vote against the ban on the glorification of Nazism is very significant. “Let me remind you that in Germany the glorification of Nazism is still a criminal offense,” he emphasized.
"However, the war of the Europeans against us in Ukraine has changed a lot in this regard. Now the neo-Nazis of Azov, banned in Russia, are being glorified. The West began to rethink for itself the role and significance of the Nazis. We see a movement towards their own nazification - and this vote is another confirmation of this, ”Kornilov believes.
Earlier, the UN General Assembly adopted a Russian resolution on combating the glorification of Nazism. It was supported by 120 countries, 50 were against, 10 abstained. Among the states that voted against the document were the United States, Hungary, Germany, Georgia, Spain, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Ukraine, Finland, France, Japan and others.
"Combating the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to the escalation of modern forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance” is a traditional Russian resolution that is submitted every year. Its co-sponsors are Azerbaijan, Belarus, Venezuela, Vietnam, Cambodia, North Korea, Cuba, Laos, Mali, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Syria, Sudan, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea and South Africa.
Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Gennady Kuzmin said that the vote of the former countries of the Axis bloc is shocking: "For the first time in the history of the UN, states - former members of the Axis voted against a document condemning Nazism, as well as confirming the inviolability of the results of World War II." According to him, Germany, Japan, Italy and other countries that voted against "showed blatant blasphemy against the memory of the victims of German Nazism, Italian fascism and Japanese militarism."
Kuzmin also said that Moscow rejects an amendment to the resolution made by Western countries, which says that the fight against Nazism and neo-Nazism cannot be used to explain Russia's actions in Ukraine. He stressed that "the resolution is thematic, not country-specific" and is needed for dialogue, and not for labeling.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commenting on the voting results on her Telegram channel, noted that "the result is even better than November 4 in the Third Committee."
Recall that in November at a meeting of the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly, a number of countries, including Italy, Austria, Germany, for the first time voted against the Russian resolution on combating the glorification of Nazism. Then 106 countries were in favor, 15 abstained, and 51 were against. Such a resolution is adopted by the UN General Assembly every year. Usually only the United States and Ukraine were opposed.

We can look at WWI and see that the Arch Duke Ferdinand was not assassinated for the purposes of starting a world war, but ironically the security arrangements and agreements of the time made WWI the obvious choice... the idea that there would be two massive power blocks of rival groups of countries so war could never happen... each side acting as the others deterrent... didn't really work very well.... but what is critical is that no lessons were learned... Germany was demonised and blamed for the entire conflict and had all her assets stolen by the allied powers... which set the world up for the inevitable repeat in WWII... and what did they end up doing there... demonising their own ally that was useful against the nazis and Japanese, but when the conflict ended they had nothing in common with the Soviets so they fell into old habits and they became the new rivals, and ironically after the cold war ended the Soviets get as much blame for WWII and the Germans less of that burden...
And now the cold war has ended and Russia and China are the bad guys... the world would be perfect if it wasn't for those two meddling kids... (ironically what the criminals in the Scooby Doo cartoons say when their crimes are exposed...)
Of course what they mean is perfect for the rich powerful west to become richer and more powerful.
In turn, historian and political scientist Vladimir Kornilov, in a conversation with the VZGLYAD newspaper, noted that Germany's vote against the ban on the glorification of Nazism is very significant. “Let me remind you that in Germany the glorification of Nazism is still a criminal offense,” he emphasized.
That is it in a nutshell... Germany is essentially voting against something it actually supports in its own laws, these are its own beliefs, but they are voting against their own beliefs and values to support the US and punish Russia, but we have known for a long time that most EU states are empty headed poodles that do as they are told and have no independent thought or interests... which is why their energy costs have gone up so much.

Re: Russia's enemy countries
Three senior ministers make unusually negative comments about the Eurozone financial regulator’s policy.
Italian ministers publicly lashed out at the European Central Bank on Friday for a yet another interest rate hike, branding the decision “baffling” and “crazy.”
The comments from three senior ministers from the recently appointed Italian government come after the ECB raised its benchmark rate by half a percentage point on Thursday. It’s feared the move, aimed at taming inflation, will pile financial pressure on one of the Eurozone's most indebted countries.
Shortly after the announcement, Italy’s Defense Minister Guido Crosetto wrote on Twitter that raising interest rates “makes no sense,” sarcastically thanking ECB President Christine Lagarde for the “Christmas present.” Crosetto posted a chart illustrating the widening spread between German and Italian borrowing costs alongside his comments.
He also slammed the regulator’s plan to reduce sovereign bond purchases, calling the move “crazy”, and saying ECB decisions are “taken and communicated with superficiality and detachment.”
By lifting rates, the monetary regulator will harm economic growth, impacting markets and households, Italy’s Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani said on Friday, adding that it was “fair” to criticize such moves. He claimed inflation in the EU largely stems from “external” factors such as the conflict in Ukraine.
Echoing remarks from his colleagues, Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini labeled the ECB's decision-making as “unbelievable, baffling” and “worrying”.

Lavrov gave a long press conference. He recounted how US and its pals engage in mafia style intimidation and coercion.
Indeed, NATzO is a mafia construct. Its economic model is that of a mafia. Its tactics are that of a mafia.

Re: Russia's enemy countries
Even more so because their naval fighter is pathetic and there is no plan B.
US ships everywhere are vulnerable to previous gen Russian and Soviet anti ship missiles like Onyx and Kh-32 and the supersonic model of the Club missile as well as Kinzhal, which are all in service, let alone the Zircon which is rapidly entering service and is three times faster...
They have no answers when a Russian Corvette can launch Zircons to take out their strongest carrier groups... but it appears they have a secret that Russia and China are desperate to find out... I think desperate is the wrong word, but could be correctly used to describe one country...

Re: Russia's enemy countries
The Doomsday Clock, set by the US-based magazine Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, has been moved to 90 seconds to midnight.
That’s the closest ever to total nuclear doom, the global catastrophe.
The Clock had been set at 100 seconds since 2020. The Bulletin’s Science and Security Board and a group of sponsors – which includes 10 Nobel laureates – have focused on “Russia’s war on Ukraine” (their terminology) as the main reason.
Yet they did not bother to explain non-stop American rhetoric (the US is the only nation that adopts “first strike” in a nuclear confrontation) and the fact that this is a US proxy war against Russia with Ukraine used as cannon fodder.
The Bulletin also attributes malignant designs to China, Iran and North Korea, while mentioning, only in passing, that “the last remaining nuclear weapons treaty between Russia and the United States, New START, stands in jeopardy”.
“Unless the two parties resume negotiations and find a basis for further reductions, the treaty will expire in February 2026.”
As it stands, the prospects of a US-Russia negotiation on New START are less than zero.
Now cue to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov making it very clear that war against Russia is not hybrid anymore, it’s “almost” real.
“Almost” in fact means “90 seconds.”
So why is this all happening?
The Mother of All Intel Failures
Former British diplomat Alastair Crooke has concisely explained how Russian resilience – much in the spirit of Iranian resilience past four decades – completely smashed the assumptions of Anglo-American intelligence.
Talk about the Mother of All Intel Failures – in fact even more astonishing than the non-existent Iraqi WMDs (in the run-up to Shock and Awe in 2003, anyone with a brain knew Baghdad had discontinued its weapons program already in the 1990s.)
Now the collective West “committed the entire weight of its financial resources to crushing Russia (…) in every conceivable way – via financial, cultural and psychological war, and with real military war as the follow-through.”
And yet Russia held its ground. And now reality-based developments prevail over fiction. The Global South “is peeling away into a separate economic model, no longer dependent on the dollar for its trading needs.”
And the accelerated collapse of the US dollar increasingly plunges the Empire into a real existential crisis.
All that hangs over a South Vietnam scenario evolving in Ukraine after a rash government-led political and military purge. The coke comedian – whose only role is to beg non-stop for bags of cash and loads of weapons – is being progressively sidelined by the Americans (beware of traveling CIA directors).
The game in Kiev, according to Russian sources, seems to be that the Americans are taking over the Brits as handlers of the whole operation.
The coke comedian remains – for now – as a sock puppet while military control over what is left of Ukraine is entirely NATO’s.
Well, it already was – but now, formally, Ukraine is the world’s first de facto NATO member without being an actual member, enjoying less than zero national sovereignty, and complete with NATO-Nazi Storm troopers weaponized with American and German tanks in the name of “democracy”.
The meeting last week of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group – totally controlled by the US – at the US Air Force base in Ramstein solidified a sort of tawdry remix of Operation Barbarossa.
Here we go again, with German Panzers sent to Ukraine to fight Russia.
Yet the tank coalition seems to have tanked even before it starts. Germany will send 14, Portugal 2, Belgium 0 (sorry, don’t have them). Then there’s Lithuania, whose Defense Minister observed, “Yes, we don’t have tanks, but we have an opinion about tanks.”
No one ever accused German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock of being brighter than a light bulb. She finally gave the game away, at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg:
“The crucial part is that we do it together and that we do not do the blame game in Europe because we are fighting a war against Russia.”
So Baerbock agrees with Lavrov. Just don’t ask her what Doomsday Clock means. Or what happened after Operation Barbarossa failed.
The NATO-EU “garden”
The EU-NATO combo takes matters to a whole new level. The EU essentially has been reduced to the status of P.R. arm of NATO.
It’s all spelled out in their January 10 joint declaration.
The NATO-EU joint mission consists in using all economic, political and military means to make sure the “jungle” always behaves according to the “rules-based international order” and accepts to be plundered ad infinitum by the “blooming garden".
Looking at The Big Picture, absolutely nothing changed in the US military/intel apparatus since 9/11: it’s a bipartisan thing, and it means Full Spectrum Dominance of both the US and NATO. No dissent whatsoever is allowed. And no thinking outside the box.
Plan A is subdivided into two sections.
1. Military intervention in a hollowed-out proxy state shell (see Afghanistan and Ukraine).
2. Inevitable, humiliating military defeat (see Afghanistan and soon Ukraine). Variations include building a wasteland and calling it “peace” (Libya) and extended proxy war leading to future humiliating expulsion (Syria).
There’s no Plan B.
Or is there? 90 seconds to midnight?
Obsessed by Mackinder, the Empire fought for control of the Eurasian landmass in World War I and World War II because that represented control of the world.
Later, Zbigniew “Grand Chessboard” Brzezinski had warned: “Potentially the most dangerous scenario would be a grand coalition between Russia, China and Iran.”
Jump cut to the Raging Twenties when the US forced the end of Russian natural gas exports to Germany (and the EU) via Nord Stream 1 and 2.
Once again, Mackinderian opposition to a grand alliance on the Eurasian landmass consisting of Germany, Russia and China.
The Straussian neo-con and neoliberal-con psychos in charge of US foreign policy could even absorb a strategic alliance between Russia and China – as painful as it may be. But never Russia, China and Germany.
With the collapse of the JCPOA, Iran is now being re-targeted with maximum hostility. Yet were Tehran to play hardball, the US Navy or military could never keep the Strait of Hormuz open – by the admission of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Oil price in this case would rise to possibly thousands of dollars a barrel according to Goldman Sachs oil derivative experts – and that would crash the entire world economy.
This is arguably the foremost NATO Achilles Heel. Almost without firing a shot a Russia-Iran alliance could smash NATO to bits and bring down assorted EU governments as socio-economic chaos runs rampant across the collective West.
Meanwhile, to quote Dylan, darkness keeps dawning at the break of noon. Straussian neo-con and neoliberal-con psychos will keep pushing the Doomsday Clock closer and closer to midnight.

Re: Russia's enemy countries
imperialism (even 1000 years ago) and should be dismembered. She excreted from her oral orifice that all of Russia's
resources belong to local minorities and not to Russians. I wonder what she thinks about Canada and the USA. I guess
in her maggot brain the fact that aboriginals have been driven into reservation ghettos in these countries removes the
rights of these aboriginals to those resources, but in "genocide" Russia where the aboriginals have never been driven into
reservation ghettos and have functional regional political entities (republics and other entities) these entities have all
the rights. Some "genocide".
Poland is a yapping chihuahua like all the other precious NATzO nothings aside from the USA, their owner.

Re: Russia's enemy countries
west. Why bother to have a legislature at all if you can bypass it whenever you want.
Kanada is the same sort of shit. We have the "notwithstanding clause" in our constitution. So the government can suspend the whole
constitution whenever it wants. I recall back in 1982, when our constitution was adopted by Turdope's daddy, this feature being sold
to Kanadians as something specific to Quebec which did not sign on to the constitution because it had a secessionist provincial government.
So it passed laws such as the language law making French primary which violated the rights provided for in the constitution. It turns out
that this is a blanket bypass clause for any context. Why bother having a constitution at all?

Re: Russia's enemy countries
The problem is that most people in the west live in a bubble of self-righteous delusion. Everything the west does is good and
approved by God. Even when the west generates millions of deaths (e.g. Iraq, Vietnam, etc.) it is doing God's work and
"you have to break some eggs to make an omelet". So this hater POS from Pooland is just following the herd.

Exactly right... even when you talk about the justifications for invading Iraq or any other country are proved to be made up or lies or just false the response will always be that leader X, whether they are Saddam or Gadaffi or anyone the west has designated enemy number one at that time, that leader X was bad and the world is a better place without them.
The equivalent of what they do in third world countries would be to bribe disaffected ex American military to murder Biden in the chaos of some riots and armed violence that is orchestrated by a group of foreign countries using NGOs and social media in the US...
The scary thing is that it is actually something a western country might be considering... Israel? Germany or Japan, or Germany and Japan realise what pussies the US has made of them and some hardliners get some balls to do what they should have done in 1991 at the end of the cold war...
Would make an interesting movie or video game... with the Germans as the bad guys it would have a Die Hard feel to it...
So it passed laws such as the language law making French primary which violated the rights provided for in the constitution. It turns out
that this is a blanket bypass clause for any context. Why bother having a constitution at all?
Standard practise in the west... loop holes we can use to do as we please but a set of rules or morals we can use as justification for action against those that oppose our rule.

Re: Russia's enemy countries
The first few years will be fun, but all those new American CIA bases they start building in Finland wont be a concern to start with, but when people who don't agree with HATO start disappearing and going to places like the Baltic states for interrogations then some things might be said.
Wonder how long Finland will remain nice to Turkey now they have the signatures they need... of course the cost of the new wall they will likely need with lots of high tech electronics and monitoring devices and equipment... not to mention the man power needed to operate such a thing, it is going to be expensive and I don't think HATO countries will be wanting to pay for it... they barely afford the 2% of their GDP they are supposed to be spending on defence as it is and now they have sent most of their old junk to Kiev they are going to have to buy new expensive stuff to replace it.
US MIC companies will the salivating at the chance to make money.
With Russia sending nukes to Belarus it is only a matter of time before some congressman demands Finland and the Baltic States get US nukes too... if they send some to Kiev it will be game over.

Germany's Scholz: some nations see Western double standards on Russia
Influential countries [...] balk at criticizing Russia's invasion of Ukraine because they believe international principles are not applied equally, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in a speech on Monday.
"When I talk to leaders from those countries, many assure me that they are not questioning the underlying principles of our international order. What they are struggling with is the unequal application of those principles," he said.
"What they expect is representation on equal terms, and an end to Western double standards."

The irony is that this is what Russia and China want too... a fair playing field for everyone and to be treated with respect and for the west to stop trying to change the world into its image, or should I say Americanise everything.

Ukrainian trafficker stopped at border attempting to steal 11-month-old baby to sell for organs
A charity worker has been detained in Ukraine after he was caught trying to buy an 11-month-old baby from his mother and sell the child abroad.
The Daily Mail reported that the 43-year-old man from the Transcarpathian Oblast was detained after he allegedly gave a $1,000 downpayment
to the boy’s mother, claiming that he would ensure a family in Europe would adopt him to live away from the war in the Eastern European country.
The woman, from Zhytomyr, was offered a total of $5,000 for the baby, and the man allegedly intended to sell him to traffickers for $25,000.
