THE WESTERN RAM IS BATTERING ITS DEMENTED HEAD AGAINST A RUSSIAN WALL

As Russia survived the West's sanctions coming out smiling the western elites should have conceded failure. Instead they plowed on to certain defeat, upping a reckless ante, always doubling down. Why?

What is it with the British political elite and Ukraine? Is it some futile effort to recall the UK’s glory days when it was a great power? Are we merely seeing the lingering death throes of an empire long gone and now completely irrelevant? How many more Ukrainians must lose their lives for the sake of this gruesome activity by the Brits?

Hugely disliked in Britain Richie Sunak and his government may also be hoping for a much needed uptick in popularity by using their present breast-beating, war-mongering tactic in Ukraine to ultra-cynically bring it about. An earlier prime minister, Margaret Thatcher achieved just such a surge in popularity by going to war against Argentina over the Falkland Islands when her poll ratings were falling to dangerous levels. Thatcher succeeded where Sunak appears to be failing abysmally to achieve the same cynical maneuver.

Or is something else at work here? Do the western powers see their long-held ability to manipulate events globally fast slipping away? Could this be the true reason for their reckless strategy of endlessly supporting the Ukrainian regime despite every indicator that it is doomed to be utterly defeated by Russia? Might this be the most fundamental of all reasons for the hopeless endeavour to defeat a Russia that sees an existential threat in NATO’s ambition to put missiles on its border in Ukraine. This task was hopeless from the start as Russia simply cannot have such a circumstance and no amount of weaponry from the West will change this fact.

The political and media elites are clearly aligned as tight as can be in a unified war to maintain the status and power they have become so very used to till now. The thought of losing all the many perks that come with such a power brings them to a state of such utter agitation that we can expect almost any reckless action from them now. Even the prospect of nuclear war does not seem to faze the most zealot amongst them. It appears that no world at all is preferable to such convinced neocons than a world they can no longer control.

The British in their “wisdom” have told the Kiev regime that they are quite at liberty to fire the UK-supplied missiles at targets in Russia. The Russian high command has responded by saying that if this takes place they will then be at liberty to attack UK bases in Ukraine… and beyond. Yet even this statement does not appear to give the British pause, they continue their belligerent rhetoric, upping the ante even more. Now we hear that British special forces are at work in Ukraine. Another sign that sooner or later Russia will be bound to cause British blood to run in Ukraine, and quite possibly elsewhere.

What variety of madness has the western powers in its grip? Ukraine is of no special strategic interest to them? Yet they are clearly willing to see millions die to defend it in a struggle that was lost as soon as Russia survived all the West’s sanctions and came out the other side with the strongest economy in Europe. The madness involved breed mutually assured destruction and the deaths of millions. Does this prospect deter those in the West from their futile actions that has seen half a million Ukrainians die or be grievously wounded? Not a bit it seems. The juggernaut of western irresponsible warmongering goes on regardless. 

Like the ram in the popular song of the late Fifties, ‘High Hopes’, but without its success, battering its head against an immovable dam, the bone-headed political and media elites of the West appear unable to halt their compulsively disastrous acts of sheer, reckless folly.

Wikipedia: The song describes two scenarios where animals do seemingly impossible acts. First, an ant moves a rubber tree plant all by himself, then a ram single-handedly puts a hole in a "billion-kilowatt dam." The desires of these animals are described by the chorus as "high, apple pie in the sky, hopes.”

EGREGIOUS BLUNDERS BY THE WEST HAVE BROUGHT ABOUT UKRAINE’S DESTRUCTION AS A VIABLE STATE

Though western politicians and media have long sought to present a positive spin on events in Ukraine they are now confronted with an unavoidable reality. The Kiev regime they sponsored has lost and lost big.

As Russia mounts a second front in the Kharkov region and potentially a third in the Sumy region we can see the end game unfolding for the Ukraine Project of the western powers.

A concatenation of errors arguably beginning in 2008 when George W. Bush forced through a statement against the objection of several important powers that Ukraine would join NATO at some future date. As the present head of the CIA, William Burns said at the time in a memo, this was the reddest of red lines for Russia.

Since 2008 the list of egregious errors by the successive leaders of the West has grown ever longer. Pushing NATO towards Russia’s borders through ever more ex-Warsaw Pact nations joining after a verbal agreement with Gorbachev that this would not happen was overwhelmingly provocative. What was the Russian leadership to think that this organisation created as the West’s primary weapon against the Soviet Union aimed to squat on the Russian border with Ukraine?

From 2008 to the present day NATO heads have made no serious case for being a merely defensive organisation. The people of Serbia and libya can vouch for the fact that NATO is quite obviously an extremely deadly offensive organisation. Why would Russia tolerate such a presence on its borders? Would the USA, UK or European nations tolerate the equivalent Russian military assets on their borders?

Russian offers to the West that security guarantees based on diplomacy resolve all outstanding problematic areas between them fell on deaf ears. Russia attending the Minsk Accord discussions for the best part of a decade to find a peaceful, diplomatic path was treated in bad faith by the western powers. They were never committed to finding that path but instead concentrated their efforts in building Ukraine’s military power to NATO standards. Russia offered to discuss the building of a new security architecture for Europe guaranteeing the continued sovereignty of all borders was rejected.

In Turkey early in 2022 an agreement that would see Ukraine remain a neutral nation outside of NATO was all but worked out when the western powers intervened and ensured that the military conflict between Russia and the Ukrainian regime would continue. Since this agreement almost within reach in Istanbul the West has escalated time and time again, constantly pushing Russia to respond. Since Istanbul half a million Ukrainians have died or suffered terrible injuries. Meanwhile, Russia’s escalatory dominance has only increased. At least one thousand volunteers join the Russian army each day. The Russian military industrial complex has been expanded, made more efficient and developed where new weapons are brought on stream across the Ukrainian battleground.

Despite all independent expert opinion stating that there was no path to victory for Ukraine and that Russia’s resources were overwhelmingly superior the western leadership has continued blindly to double down. Everything the West could do wrong it has. Now we arrive at the final outcome in Ukraine that was in fact predictable from the day western sanctions failed to bring the Russian economy down. Doubling down hoping for a miracle is all the West has had since that time, depending on sending money and weaponry hoping that the Russian need for security could be weakened. There was NEVER any possibility that the existential threat Russia had identified against it would allow its leadership to ignore that threat. To believe so is arguably the most grievous error made by the West over this entire debacle fomented at each stage by its leaders.

Russia is winning hands down and will ultimately be totally victorious. The security of the Russian people depends upon it. No amount of resistance by the West was ever going to change this outcome. All that its errors have done is to massively increase the number of deaths and injuries that occur before this always inevitable result. In the next few weeks and months the entire world will see the extent to which those errors bring total humiliation to those who so blindly, ignorantly and recklessly committed them.

And Ukraine will lie totally destroyed as a viable nation due to their mindless idiocy.

 

WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE WESTERN ELITE KINDERGARTEN?

There is much stamping of feet occurring in western elite circles. Minds are reeling in shock and dismay. Petulant faces grimace in a grotesque mimicry of tiny tots who have seen their toys thrown over the garden fence. What the hell is going on in the western elite kindergarten?

The toddler politicians of the western elite kindergarten are continuing to wet their already sodden diapers. Rattles are being thrown out of prams constantly. Hysterical tantrums have reached fever pitch with cheeks red as stop signs. Are they fit to burst? It appears so. The resulting projectile vomit may well go nuclear.

The classroom project to erase certain nations from the map in the geography class has gone horribly wrong. Instead of being erased the colours have only been made to shine brighter and reflect a deeper level of permanency. Teachers are in dismay clamouring for answers to this totally unacceptable outcome. The reputation of the entire school is at stake!

In the USA an adult who has long since entered his second childhood appears to believe he is some kind of anti-Santa, destined to bring the darkest variety of toys to the world. As he rants we can see the gleam of the wannabe thug in his, for the moment, unglazed eyes. Out of the unfathomable stupor he is usually in he has suddenly envisioned his “enemies” of the east. “Show me someone who wants to be Xi Jinping!” he rails, forgetting everything else (including where he is).

In Europe a Nazi Reichmaiden after her time, Ursula Von der Leyen squeals that China is de-industrialising Europe and adds her clumpen feet to the foot-stamping heard in every western capital these days. Meanwhile, ‘Jungle Josep’ Borrell bemoans the fact that the schools pet animal, Vloddy Zelensky is looking sickly and weak. In a rambling geriatric monologue he mutters that some of the other “teachers” support those feeding the poor thing out of date rabbit food.

In the UK, another of the loosely tied together bevy of hapless mental dwarfs who are hardly distinguishable from their charges has come under fire. Rishi Sunak, the unelected headmaster of the British branch of the western elite kindergarten cabal is looking decidedly shaky. More toy guns for all who support Vloddy is his answer to the critics hounding him. Unknown to Retarded Rishi this is the very issue upon which his tormentors are determined to decapitate him.

Things are looking decidedly shaky within the western elite kindergarten. Everyone is casting around looking for a solution to a crisis that is increasingly set to completely engulf them. There’s talk of using the nuclear option. And of sending a host of “teachers” off to create merry hell for Vloddy with a view to gaining greater public recognition. Sadly the general public has a rather fixed view on the now rapidly failing rep of the place. That it’s far overdue for being demolished and replaced, it’s sell-by date being incredibly out of date, being early April 2014.

It was in April 2014 that every branch of the western elite kindergarten blotted their copybook. By giving their collective approval to bringing in a new member to the club by the name of Pedo Poroshenko. Pedo was going to be the agent of chaos that come February 24th 2022, through the agency of his successor, Vloddy Zelensky the whole school would be brought to ruin. Ironically enough they proved impossible to school but continued in their support for Pedo and Vloddy right to the extremely bitter end. Foreclosure.

THE INESCAPABLE REALITIES OF THE UKRAINIAN BATTLEFIELD

What can be said about the situation in Ukraine free of the biases of western political narratives & their mirror image in western mass media? This is my attempt to present the facts on the ground.

The Russian military is pushing relentlessly forward, liberating strategic villages and positioning itself to take small towns all across the Donbass region and in particular within the territory west of Donetsk City. The Ukrainian forces are putting up some resistance but holes in the Ukrainian defence line are leaving areas without the support needed due to the increasing problems of lack of additional manpower and of replacement of weaponry and ammunition. Over the last year and more Russia has vastly increased its military manpower with an estimated 1,400 volunteers per day entering the Russian military and going on to receive extensive training.

While Russia’s manpower resources have steadily increased, those of the regime have decreased and at an unsustainable level. In the last many months the attrition rate of Ukrainian troops being taken off the battlefield dead or wounded has run at a level of approximately 1,000 per day. The Kiev regime has, at the same time, struggled to recruit and train additional troops. Ukrainian men are hiding in their apartments, sometimes venturing out disguised as women or are fleeing to the Romanian border in an attempt to escape mobilisation. All know that to be dragooned off the streets and sent to the front with minimal training is a death sentence at this stage.

More and more of those Ukrainians who have been frogmarched to the front, often elderly men who should not be there (the average of a Ukrainian trooper is reported to be 43) cannot possibly stand for long against the highly trained and constantly refreshed Russian troops who are given regular downtime away from the front lines. The Russian troops are, in addition, highly trained, armed with the latest kit and equipment and have a constant supply of all the various resources to sustain life at the front. In addition, the Russian military has at least a six to one advantage, and sometimes as high as a ten to one advantage in firepower with its artillery and ammunition supplies. Add to this the Russian military complex now in high gear producing more and better weaponry all the time. With hypersonic and supersonic missiles on stream and a Ukrainian air force all but decimated allowing Russia to rule the skies what chance does Ukraine have?

The Ukrainian offensive last year was conclusively defeated by Russia with the Ukrainian military not even reaching Russia’s defensive lines. At the cost of many tens of thousands of lives the regime managed to take limited territory, most of which has now been taken back by Russia. The western powers talk of the possibility of Ukraine mounting another offensive in 2025 but with Russia now on the march and Ukraine struggling in almost every area the chances of this occurring are decreasing rapidly by the day.

It must be evident to any serious observer by now that the experts on war outcomes are correct when they say that Russia will prevail simply on the basis of a far greater ratio of resources compared to that available to the Ukrainian regime. This despite the pouring of weaponry into Ukraine by the western powers, the level of which is set to diminish despite the latest tranche and threats from both NATO and the EU to boost this.

When it became clear that Russia had withstood the onslaught of western financial and economic sanctions and even began to prosper economically while the West suffered it was clear Russia would prevail. It would have been sensible and pragmatic for the western powers to convince Zelensky to halt his useless resistance when this became clear. It seems clear to me that the West was relying on a double whammy of a weakened Russia through sanctions along with the expenditure of much blood and treasure to effect a victory by the Ukrainian regime in combination with the West. Now, after the almost complete failure if not indeed the COMPLETE failure of this policy I don't see anything stopping Russia. 

Rump Ukraine, west of the Dnieper will most likely be reformed into several protectorates governed by EU nations until new elections are organised and run. These elections will with absolute certainty see peace candidates, Russia-neutral and Russia-positive candidates win across the board. That will signify the complete end of Zelensky and all who cleaved close to him. 

The end will be humiliating for the USA and particularly for the EU. Brussels will have to eat crow and cough up billions from EU taxpayers to put rump Ukraine back into some kind of shape that comes half way toward economic viability. Russia will reinforce its governance in all its new territories, bringing all the benefits of Russian pensions, health care, education, salaries, infrastructure such as airports, rail lines, motorways etc. etc. 

Ten years from now the entire location will be transformed and any historian looking back will surely remark at the incredible and disastrous folly of western geopolitical entities of the West and shake their heads in utter disbelief that such arrant stupidity with such catastrophic and tragic outcomes could ever have been allowed to take place.

RUSSOPHOBIA

The following is partially based upon the book 'Creating Russophobia - From the Great Religious Schism to Anti-Putin Hysteria' by Guy Mettan.

Western political elites and the totality of western legacy media sees Russia in almost 100% negative terms. When you read of the last few centuries’ compilation of anti-Russian literature you rapidly come to understand that this is no new phenomenon. Russophobia is centuries old, as is the seeming constant inability of western elites to see beyond the stereotypes involved.

In centuries past the various tactical alliances involved within the sphere of great power politics, colonialism and imperialism meant that conflict was all but inevitable. Alliances created groupings of temporary ‘friends’ against a common enemy or common enemies at one moment in time, then at a later date an enemy would became friends with one or more protagonists they had formerly been at war with. Russia was deeply involved in this ‘game’ and indeed in ‘The Great Game’ where the British conceived themselves to be competing with Russia to maintain its empire.

In the case of the British, or better said, the English, the animosity in which Russia was held appears to have been founded only on the convenience of Russia as a political football where one political party could assert that the other did not hold an aggressive enough policy or stance on Russia. This of course became a contest of who could talk most tough on Russia with always a view to the general public for electoral approval. Much as it was in the USA in recent history.

Through all this talking about her Russia remains an enigma to most political elites in the West. Churchill put this common bafflement of western elites best when he said: “Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” This ignorance of Russia however, never stopped all and sundry from roundly criticising her at every possible opportunity.

From the time when Russia adopted the Eastern Orthodox form of Christianity she was seen as suspect and more Asiatic than western. This added to all her other perceived failures by western elites who considered European culture to be the absolute and unassailable centre of civilisation and they to essentially be the proper masters of the world, put Russia in the worst possible light. She was always expected to bow down and be taught how to be civilised. Or else threatened with attack if she determines to carry on as she is and develop herself as she, not others, see fit.

One can imagine many of today's western political elites, at least those in Europe, having been steeped in the kind of anti-Russian literature that Guy Mettan meticulously lists in his book. Those who had, to some degree, an academic predisposition toward geopolitics/foreign affairs. Russia, apparently something of an obsession for European and the English political elites, extremely rarely escapes the stereotypes long pinned to it.

Within the literature there appears to have been two main viewpoints, that Russia was irredeemably flawed and dangerous or, marginally more positive, that it could be made tolerable by accepting to become civilised in all the ways shown at their best within western cultures.

The near perfectly encapsulated (in western elite eyes) archetype of Russia as hopelessly autocratic, barbaric, backward and slavish to authority as well as being too Asiatic and having a strange form of Christianity appears to have been inescapable for pretty much 100% of the western political class. Not surprising then that we have what we have now.

As the Soviet Union fell there was the phase of reconstituting Russia to as a nation with western liberal values, to be made civilised in effect, taking pity on the poor uncultured beast and teaching it how to be like the West, liberal and economically viable. Then with Putin coming along and rejecting 'all that' the other half of the Russophobic coin comes into its own with the same kind of criticisms seen down the centuries.

The tragedy is that Russia appears to remain terra incognita regarding anything approaching a detailed understanding of her. These extremely old stereotypes that generate both anger, fear and increased misunderstanding prevail constantly within western political elites and media with seemingly no incentive being perceived to look beyond them.

So it is that despite all the reforms that have transformed Russia since the days of Yeltsin, when the whole country appeared doomed to permanent chaos, poverty and constant decline, there is in essence no change to the two viewpoints held within the minds of western elites. Russia is expected to bow to the pressure applied to her to become a mirror image of all the West insists is the proper way to be. And if not then Russia will find herself attacked and every cliche from the long history of Russophobia relentlessly applied to her.

UKRAINE: BIDEN’S BLOODY OBSESSION

Half a million dead & wounded Ukrainians yet the war cry from the White House still sounds. There seems to be no limit to the amount of death & destruction that Joe Biden is willing to contemplate.

Ever since Biden was given the Ukraine portfolio as his responsibility by Barack Obama he has acted as if the nation was his personal fiefdom. We can see how this is playing out day by day now, catastrophically for the Ukrainian people. 

Not content with interfering in the internal politics of Ukraine, Biden managed to display the corrupt side of his nature just as clearly as well as his Machiavellian side. His thoroughly dissolute son was given a highly lucrative position on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas production company by the name of Burisma. You can guess how much experience Hunter Biden had in this field. Nil.

More serious still than getting his sex and drug-addict son onto the board of Burisma was Biden’s boast about getting the prosecutor sacked who had been given the job of investigating the company for corruption. Since these early days of wheeler dealing, nepotism and pay-to-play Biden has sought to cover his tracks in Ukraine by acting in a way destined to completely destroy the country. The fatalities and grievous injuries over the last two years and more amount to some half a million.

Biden has played the most egregious part in promoting only more war as the “solution” to the conflict in Ukraine. Well known as a political thug down the years Biden appears to have no conscience whatsoever and is in fact completely uncaring regarding the gruesome fate to which is consigning the Ukrainian people. 

The Biden obsession with Ukraine is inextricably linked with his obsession regarding Vladimir Putin. These twin obsessions look certain to ensure that tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands die and are gruesomely injured in the days, weeks, months and quite possibly years ahead. He rejects the idea of peace talks as does his Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken. These two, along with the apparently now departed Victoria Nuland, are the chief architects of Ukraine’s demise as a tool of the West against Russia.

The painful truth is that Russia, after a near decade of attempting to find a peaceful solution to the problems encountered by the people of eastern Ukraine, once forced into this conflict, are now winning it hands down. Naturally this will be driving Biden even more berserk than he has shown himself previously on Ukraine. The more Russia is seen to win it is certain that Biden, obsessed as he is, will attempt to escalate further. All previous experience however, has shown that no matter how many so-called gamechanger weapons the West throws at Ukraine they never make the difference expected on the battlefield. Russia is winning and winning more and more obviously with each day that passes.

The increasingly brain-challenged Biden will be an ever uglier sight as his obsession, thwarted and rendered null and void as it will be cannot but present the world with the ugliest possible face of a president ever seen. Biden’s departure from power is sure to be ignominious and wrought through with a well deserved humiliation. He will, no doubt, go out ranting and raving, still vainly searching for the exit, hands even more bloody and brain as mindlessly obsessed as ever.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO LIVE IN AN AMERICAN GULAG?

What is the USA fighting for? The aggressive stance it is taking is quite clear but what are the motivations involved and what might the ultimate outcome of America's various global wars be?

The aim of the leadership of the United States is to reverse the trend toward power being shared across our planet. The enemy this leadership fears is multipolarity. To understand what is going on certainly does not require a degree in rocket science, or the more appropriate qualification, a degree in great power politics. What is at stake and the motivations involved are quite clear.

The motivations referred to above that you will hear from North American leaders will involve such issues as the preservation of ‘western values’, the fight against repressive authoritarian regimes and the delivery of all the freedoms that come via democratic institutions. But when have you ever trusted what politicians say? I suspect you would agree that the word of snake oil salesmen is far more trustworthy.

So, what are the true motivations involved in U.S. foreign policy? One is certainly self-interest. Expanding the U.S. economy naturally makes U.S. politicians more popular, more jobs, a higher standard of living for all, and so on. Never forget Trump and his slogan “America First!” Not that he was the first American politician to use this slogan. It was in fact coined by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916. The phrase can be considered a call for the USA to withdraw from the world. However, this is not what we see happening currently.

The Biden administration is quite obviously acting as a wrecking ball across the planet destroying, or at least attempting to destroy, rivals and those it considers enemies. The aim is clear, to bolster U.S. power while weakening those who rival its power now or who may assist in rivalling its power later. This wrecking ball approach is however, creating as many new enemies fearing and loathing the USA as it does friends who see opportunities in siding with it.

The motivation that lies at the heart of the clear urgency with which the USA and its allies are attempting to disrupt the advent of a multipolar world is the drive to maintain the power and dominance they believe is their birthright, a birthright they have held and nurtured for a century and more. Losing this entitlement to consider the planet rightfully theirs to administer as they please is an unconscionable thought to them. The motivation therefore to avoid this loss is enormously strong.

Currently the sorry land of Ukraine is the focus of this struggle by the western coalition of powers to maintain global manipulative power, the power which they conceive of as their by right and, if some Americans are to be believed, one given by God. With half a million Ukrainians dead or injured and a conflict obviously lost the West urges everyone on toward ever more death and destruction. The urgent necessity to win means that the clear fact of defeat cannot be acknowledged. The carnage must then go on, leading ultimately to the complete collapse of Ukraine.

That Ukraine must be sacrificed in the name of what Washington conceives of as the greater goal, western continued domination, appears to offer no great problem or qualm to U.S. planners. These, the Neocons, have never worried overmuch about the casualties of war or even of the destruction of entire nations. These fundamentalists, the true ‘American Firsters’ have the true supreme goal in mind at all times, one that surmounts all others, the USA as global guardian wielding the ultimate earthly weapon of ‘full spectrum dominance’.

Whether you wish to call it a prison planet or gulag the end result envisaged is the same, the USA having supreme and unassailable power, able to monitor each proxy carefully, pushing in this direction or that at will and sure at each step that its surveillance capacity will snare all incalcitrant entities. The global guardian will strike down at any who dare oppose it. Sweeping powers will enable the guardian of the gulag, the warden of the world, to detect the slightest deviation from the renewed ‘America First!’ policy and consign such deviants to their fate of re-education or worse.

So, how do you like it? If you believe you would then get behind the US/UK/EU push for victory in Ukraine against the Russians. If they are beaten you only have China to deal with and then you are virtually there…
