Ukraine has been a "sovereign country" for all of 30 years, artificially created after the collapse of the USSR.
The "century" of mutual hatred you reference is limited to a couple western oblasts home to the Stefan Banderas Nazis who sided with Hitler. Those oblasts were historically part of Poland.
Russia's relationship with the Ukraine goes back hundreds of years. Since well before the Europeans genocided the native Americans. The oblasts Russia is likely to liberate were called "Novorossiya" when I was a kid. Catherine the Great founded Odessa. Go back far enough & Kiev was birthplace of the Rus & the first capital of Russia.
The war that "broke out" in 2014 was a US-instigated, $5B coup to oust the democratically elected president (who wanted to sign trade agreements with both the EU & Russia), to be replaced with Victoria Nuland's hand-picked, Russia-hating puppet government.
The oblasts that Russia "invaded" refused to accept Nuland's puppet government & declared independence, as is their right as declared by the UN ruling & precedent when Kosovo declared independence from Serbia sfter the US intervened there. Kiev's puppet government attacked the independent oblasts. As in Syria, the independent states asked Russia for help.
The damage to the German economy is primarily due to US mining of Nordstream, cutting off their access to economical natural gas. Nato on Nato attack.
You name Russia as the sole nuclear threat. That is laughable. They are very clear on their nuclear policy.
The US neocons are the ones who replaced MAD with "nuclear decapitation strike" on Moscow, back under W. Their sole goal in Ukraine is to position nukes close enough to Moscow to preempt a retaliatory strike. The policy continued under Obama, the US developed the fuze technology needed for such a strike.
Russia will win, hands down, & the "rump state" will likely be carved up, with Transcarpathia going to Hungary, Lviv to Pand, etc.
The US will have a hard time bringing weapons manufacturing back home. I seriously doubt China will be so foolish as to supply the rare earth materials needed to manufacture the advanced weapons so we can attack Taiwan.
The West will be fortunate to get out of this quagmire without triggering WW3 , as Ukraine is going to collapse ; then what? The West will be faced with a dilemma, insomuch, they will either flee Ukraine in a more humiliating debacle than Afghanistan, or, they will double down on failure by intervening like they did in KOsovo back in 1999... they would be insane to do it, but it wouldn't surprise me as the West have gone insane due to decadence, affluence and hedonism ... maybe triggering WW3 is just the inevitable Darwin Award the West have coming
PROTOCOLS OF THE MEETINGS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION . . . Protocol No. 7 – World-Wide Wars
❝We must be in a position to respond to every act of opposition by war with the neighbors of that country which dares to oppose us: but if these neighbors should also venture to stand collectively together against us, then we must offer resistance by a universal war.❞
What I am missing in this voluminous assessment of the future of this region, is the WEF. Is the stated need to reduce the global population. From both perspectives of "the great reset" and "build back better", the war in the region is a win/win situation for the legions of psychopaths that have long planned the present situation. The Russians are closer to Sun Tzu, as they are more deeply aligned with China - including its culture and history. Another author on Substack reminded people of the work that I have also urged those interested in understanding where all this is heading to read: "The Russian-China Double Helix" (https://www.sott.net/article/290554-The-Russian-Chinese-Double-Helix-Unprecedented-alliance) from 2014 is the most comprehensive and insightful work regarding the fusion of Russia and China in order to prevail against western hegemony.
After the apocalypse of 1945, a number of global organizations have been formed with the aim of maintaining and expanding totalitarian liberalism. One of the earliest organizations formed for this purpose was the war alliance "North Atlantic Treaty Organization", or NATO, which can be seen as the military wing of globalism.
In addition to ensuring that Washington always has international support for its military campaigns, NATO as an institution is explicitly anti-white and explicitly dedicated to "racial justice" for racial aliens living in white countries. As early as 1999, NATO authored reports blaming nationalists for a number of modern problems and warning against the influence of nationalism.
In 2023, the war alliance held a summit at its headquarters in Brussels on race where the alliance's leaders pledged to fight "homogeneous attitudes" and to use NATO's "collective intelligence" for the purpose.
In fact, NATO is so dedicated to its anti-white agenda that it openly advocates that institutions must be reshaped to be "inclusive," in other words, restructured to be more anti-white, and consist of fewer white employees and executives.

It’s concerning. I’ve wondered are there elements that are seeking to undermine the US. Ukraine is attractive because it is a place where corruption is facilitated. A massive chunk of the funding is being siphoned off. It seems like there is a raiding of the US treasury going on with no regard for the unsustainable debt. In COVID too a massive wealth transfer with no regard to what all this is doing to the country. The mass immigration too. I wonder at times if there is a demolition going on such the US collapses under its own weight the country will be ripe for the pickings and easy to install more authoritarian rule. Just a theory. It just seem all too convenient if one wanted to facilitate a global governance structure that could toss aside the constitution. That incredible document.

Best comment on here. The US and the west in general are the ones undergoing some kind of Bolshevik homo cultural revolution and probably economic collapse. Not Russia. It sure seems like at least Russia has leaders that are loyal to their own country. Their nationalism doesn't really look like a weakness as far as I can tell. In the west, we currently have no national consensus and no ability to respond to any real threat. We are run by "leaders" that are literally working to destroy the country that's provided them with such a horn of plenty while they loot what's left of the treasury. If the US suffers economic collapse, I doubt if half the country will be motivated to lift a finger to help save the major institutions, kind of like what happened in the Soviet Union.
The West have became a parody of the final years of the Soviet Unions, while Putin's Russia has morphed into a traditional nation state .... in 30 years the political poles have reversed
I used to listen to the Shortwave in the 70s, where I could hear the radio services of many countries. Radio Moscow strived to provide accurate reporting on any number of issues many of which, yes, yes, were "Anti-American", like the plight of the American black man, the war ON Vietnam, their many coups and assassinations. There was no need to lie and history has shown me that they did not. RFE and VOA OTOH? Just nonsense, war propaganda for low info heavily propagandised Americans, Brits, and Canadians.
The 2020 election was a Flu d'etat by Dem Bolsheviks , and they don't ever intend to lose power again as they have developed a way to rig US elections
These Dem radicals intend to transform America like the original Bolsheviks did to Russia ; 2020 is their 1917 moment , their ground zero , or Germinal !
Agreed. It's a big moment in time. Look at how catastrophically and for how long the Bolsheviks screwed up Russia. Ditto for Mao over there in China. Even though Americans have taken this all on the chin so far, it's by no means a done deal yet. Targeting the Great American Redneck as the enemy is a going to be a pretty tough piece of meat for them to chew. People have had just about enough of their bullshit and their magic wand printing press is starting to go flaccid. They've picked too many fights at once in my opinion. Poking the bear with one stick, declaring war on conservatives, killing citizens with a laboratory pathogen, killing more citizens with a deadly shit shot, attacking allies (e.g, blowing up the NS2), sanctioning half the world, and even pissing off China. Yikes. I don't know how many people are finally awake, but a hell of a lot more than in early 2020, that's for sure.
What is your definition of "screwing up"? Does it include for example the industrialization, over the course of just ~10-15 years, of the almost purely agrarian country into the one that managed to withstand the German invasion during WWII thus not allowing to genocide tens of millions of slavs as subhumans?
They have picked the fights for a reason. The reason is they wish to destroy what is left of the USA and Liberty.
They are trying to rewrite history, make the rest of the world look on the American experiment in self governance as a thing to be avoided at all costs.
It is narrative writing and the Communists in our midst will do everything and anything to wipe us out.
I wouldn’t laugh. The Soviet system was so powerful that it put a rump version of itself in a position to win a war against us 30 years after it collapsed. The RF’s entire war doctrine was built on the leftovers of Soviet military and production culture.
When the Iron Curtain fell down the Bolshevik Jews all fled to the other side because they knew what the Russians would do to them after 100 years of communism.
The best thing about Russia getting Crimea back . . . Catherine the Great took it from the Turks… What happened right after Russia retook Crimea? The Russian FSB searched all the Turks living there . . . Why? Because NATO sponsors Islamist terrorism when it suits them to . . .
I seem to recollect the Uncle Joe starved 11M Ukrainians when he ruled the USSR. Was he being led by Jews? Or could it have been that communism was just hitting its stride at that point, regardless of what brought about its existence?
Useful idiot much there Bill? If you don't believe the right wing critics I strongly suggest reading Emma Goldman's Disillusionment in Russia, she was a left anarchist and strong supporter of Russian revolution who was eventually deported to Russia from the U.S. She did not enjoy her experience there and was actually there when the Knonstadt massacre of Russian anarchist sailors happened.

I can agree with the part where US is ran be people not representing the people who elected them. But please don’t glorify the Russian nationalism, because what western propaganda says is actually true, Kremlin brainwashed people into pure animal state to get the war support.

Mearsheimer is just "okay" on these matters, but is still far far better than the crazed and stupid warmongers who have their greasy fingers on all the buttons.
Bizarrely, he does not count America's war ON Afghanistan as one of the 'disastrous' wars. The Taleban offered to turn over former CIA operative Osama bin Laden both before and after 911.
Barak Obama's mentor Zbigniew Brzezinski (Mika’s father) 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 . . . Brezinski, for all practical purposes, can be called the ‘Grandfather of ISIS.’

All true, but it is not all he did. Looks like he influenced the foreign policy direction towards Russia after USSR collapsed. He argued that Russia would not do well if it was cut off from Europe and the Black Sea, hence the idea of adding Ukraine and Georgia to the NATO.

The war ON Russia started the day that "Bush" acting on direction from the Permanent Government, tore up the foundational ABM Treaty, thus laying the groundwork for a preemptive strike on the "Sovs" and of course, the "ChiComs".
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, 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

The United States government is a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Israeli Political Action Committee . . .
Volodymyr Zelensky is an Israeli operative, the Ukrainian parliament is full of Jewish apparatchiks . . . Jews Anthony Blinken and Victoria Nuland grew up in Ukraine.
Jew Biden has a cabinet full of Bolshevist Jews, two of which (Blinken and Nuland) grew up in Ukraine . . . this is another Jewish war against Russians, funded by the Mensheviks on Wall Street and the London Stock Exchange.
One of the Ruzzian goals were to denazify Ukraine. When nazi Ruzzia invaded Ukraine in 2014 it was done by Russian nazis. They were in charge and the first Ruzzian puppet in charge was Pavel Gubarev.
Donbas have a big majority of ethnic Ukrainians as proven in the counting of people in Ukraine 2001. Photos show Donetsk in 2014. Ruzzian nazi propaganda portrait Donbas as a one big gang of Ruzzian supporters and its huge misleading info.
Didn't the Soviets call for collective security against Germany? Britain and France paid no attention. So the Soviets signed a non aggression pact with Germany, to protect themselves. They didn't ‘side’ with Germany, they fought and defeated them.

He’s not glossing over anything in his analysis. He is approaching this from the realist school of international relations. He is a well known realist and believes it gives the right predictions more often than not. The focus is on great power conflicts.
Did you actually read the article and give it some thought based on his academic position? I have differences of opinion with him on China but he makes sense according to his position/
Was this the first time you ever encountered Mr. Mearsheimer? The essay suffers only from the curse that successful writers experience: having to repeat every single piece of history, opinion or data touching on an argument made about how the US is responsible for provoking the SMO, that led to the entirely avoidable catastrophe of a war, that may smolder ruinously in a region of the world, or destroy us all over the world.
Some of your salient facts aren’t essential to the argument in this essay. If every salient fact each of us could come up with we’re included, it would be even longer than it already is!
Nothing you mentioned was a revelation. I am familiar with every point you made, and I am certainly no expert. You fail to actually show how any of your points are required for an understanding of this argument. Address the argument.

NATO – an anti-white and anti-family institution . . .

As bad as the war has been for Ukraine, it will prove to be a blessing to the world as it has set in motion the end of the Globalist American Empire. The GAE sealed its fate when it cut Russia off from SWIFT. Every sovereign nation saw the dollar become a weapon, and now many are seeking alternative trade payment arrangements.
Over the long term that means the end of the dollar as the world's reserve currency. Not a quick process, but it has already started. And that means the long term end of the empire. The GAE will not be able to print money and export most of its inflation aboard. Nor will it be able to afford its gigantic, inefficient military industrial complex.
All empires fall eventually, and the GAE is no exception to that rule.
I agree 100% with your second paragraph. However the key in the timeframe of course. There has to be an alternative to the USD. Lots of folks out there saying its BTC, its Gold...its a basket of commodities... I don't know but I suspect it will be a slow process over at least 10 probably 20 years. However they may be a Black Swan out there that drives things faster. I suspect it will be a painful process and not just for the USA. A multi polar world is going to face some terrible problems in the decade ahead. All the best to you.
The problems a multi-polar world will face will come almost exclusively from the death pangs of the American Empire. Empire's lash out as they collapse. Which seems to be exactly what the USA Empire is doing right now in multiple places around the globe.

Well spoken. It is hard to accept the Great Eastern European Meatgrinder as the price to pay for this, and I'm barely affected in any direct way, but end this empire must.
Very good analysis by John Mearsheimer. I have seen many articles condemning John's perspectives regarding the Russo-Ukraine war, however, on balance I support the analysis and have personally concluded that the West (primarily the US and the UK) has triggered the current war.
I fear that Ukrainian losses will mount very quickly as Russia gains strength and tests/adapts its increasing weaponry advantage. The current Ukrainian offensive is NOT gaining significant territory and those gains are at a tremendous cost. Compare the military video releases which during this offensive show terrible and daily Ukrainian battlefield losses and yet, compared to 2022 Ukrainian defense and territorial counterattacks, there are very few Ukrainian videos show successful Russian losses. That alone sends a clear message.
During 2022 we in the West were continually told the Russian economy would collapse, the Ruble would collapse, the Russian army and airforce would collapse, the Russians were running out of: soldiers, generals, aircraft, missiles, bombs, tanks etc. When this patently did not happen we were then told that the M777 Howitzer and +HIMARS provision would change the state of play.... then the Leopards and Chieftains would make a difference.... then the Patriot Missile batteries would be a game changer. As we can clearly see today the majority (at LEAST 51%) of these systems are now either destroyed, unserviceable, under repair or pulled back from anywhere close to the battlefront. Now we hear a chorus of give them F16s, that will change the score!!! Send M1A1 Abrams sooner and win this war!!! It's all nonsense. Whats more the Western media continues to press the narrative that Ukraine can will this war. Give the Ukrainians the tools and they can win.
It's simply shocking. The US, primarily, is precipitating the destruction of Ukraine and is currently fight this proxy war ....even unto the "last available Ukrainian soldier". History will not view Blinken, Noland and most of all Senator Graham kindly (not to forget the lying bumbling fool and US lap dog and now disgraced ex UK PM Boris Johnson). For their hands are covered in blood....... every bit as much as Zelensky and Putin.
Those over engineered , expensive ''wunda weapons'' are being quickly turned to junk by Russian mass artillery and cheap drones from Iran and China
Our so called leaders are educated idiots, wrong on everything, and yet these deluded fools think themselves qualified to engage in nuclear poker and brinkmanship with serious political actors like Putin and lavrov . Quite frankly, we are going to be fortunate to escape this quagmire without haplessly triggering WW3 , that we will surely lose
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.
Our American President is doing globally what he’s done domestically in the US, namely dividing into a binary choice of being a friend or an enemy. Neutrality is unacceptable.
First of all, there are *videos* on twitter of dead Russians in the dozens everyday. Literally becoming cat/dog food. Bodies on bodies on bodies. And those are only the ones caught on camera. Russians regularly abandon their dead and their bodies are sometimes found only as skeletons. They care, as history demonstrates too, very little for human life. Secondly, Ukraine is definitely making bigger gains now than Russia did during it’s winter offensive even though the majority of the forces have not been deployed yet. Thirdly, wester weapons did prove to be crucial. HIMARS especially, as well as the M777. They successfully annihilated the Russian push during the summer of 2022 and given the Ukrainians the option to regain Kharkiv and Kherson. Fourthly, the Russian economy took a significant hit, but unfortunately India and China saved it from collapsing. Still, the rubble is on a stead downward trend and is projected to reach the bottom it conquered in March 2022, pretty soon. Fifthly, the EU hasn't even felt anything. As someone who lives in the EU all I see around me is money money and more money. The economy is booming….in the medium to long run Russia has no chance to somehow win economically over the West hahahah what a crazy idea even to think about it. Sixthly, yes, some were saying Russia was about to run out of missiles and look at what happened…Russian missile attacks are significantly less frequent and potent from the peak of one massive barrage every two weeks. Also, the west was going to run out of shells too, right? The US was supposed to be producing only 14k shells a month and yet somehow the Russians are still getting pounded into oblivion. Seventhly, 51% of wester weapons destroyed? Hahahahha you just pulled that right out of your behind, right? Obviously military hardware is meant to be used and take hits, especially the IFVs and Tanks. Btw where is Armata!?! Hahaha HIMARS however - NOT ONE DESTROYED. Incredible. Simply stunning. The only mistake the West keeps making is waiting unnecessarily long to give weapons. They should give Ukraine everything except Nukes. Finally, who is winning? Well, Ukraine was supposed to be demilitarized (now it’s one of the best armed and equipped armies in the world), it was supposed to be turned into a Russian puppet state (denazification) but now it’s absurd to even think about Russians conquering Kyiv. It was supposed to become a neutral state but now it’s going to be a de facto NATO member. Russia was supposed to secure a safe land bridge to Crimea and yet those pesky HIMARS and STORM SHADOWS make it inconceivable now. Ukraine today is the most famous country in the world and the modern Antemurale Christianitatis except it’s defending democracy against tyrannical Eastern Hordes.
Sorry, don't agree with anything you say. You are clearly deluded by the lies you hear, or perhaps by personal pain. We shall see how things progress. I still wish you the best. Stay safe.

I love Russians, I actually have Russian friends unlike you. Haha I hate the fascist Putin regime that is willing to kill hundreds of thousands of Russians and Ukrainians so that he can fulfill his wet dream of being a conqueror. Sad.
You forgot to mention the West's role in this carnage, it's been pouring oil on this fire from 2014 on (google the lieaked discussion between Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt).

He's a filthy lying Jew, like the Bolshevists Anthony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, Jake Sullivan, Janet Yellen, Angelino Mayorkas, Merrick Garland, Emmanuel Macron, et. al.
“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.”
The Russian shill says I’m deluded hahahaha I always say to rushist bots, reading your insane coping and flat out denialism of reality makes me laugh and be sad at the same time.
If it is Russia that has the grandiose dreams of being conquerors, why did Russia sign and abide by two different peace agreements that the West all lied about? Shouldn't that have been the other way around?
Jewish Corruption in Ukraine . . . by Andrew Joyce, Ph.D.
❝. . . the present conflict is a huge distraction from the fact that, for decades, the biggest threat to Ukraine hasn’t been Russia, but financiers and speculators operating with impunity within Ukraine’s borders to exploit ethnic Ukrainians and plunder their resources.❞
The peace agreements were meant to make Ukraine into a vassal state of RF - giving the regions under de facto RU control "special status" and ability to veto Ukrainian political decisions.
Sure Putin would rather prefer to have Ukraine as a vassal state without resorting to military confrontation, and maybe later incorporating it like Belarus.
Whether he should have been given this opportunity - probably. Probably the West should have concentrated on making its frontiers an impenetrable wall rather then expanding to territories that are ill suited for defense.
Defense from what exactly? Russia is not a threat to try to conquer Europe. It is NATO that is both expansionary and has a military only designed for offensive maneuvers rather than defense as is Russia's military.
Ukraine’s “fame” is one no other country would envy. She is being demographically destroyed and reduced to a field lab for Western weaponry and insurgency strategies. Our elites will leave a legacy of environmental ruin, cultural wreckage and human trafficking in their wake.
I don’t see a contradiction. Ukraine is being used by the liberal imperium to force regime change in Russia and if it the plan worked (it didn’t) it would be subsumed into the imperium and stripped of the very national identity you purport to cherish.
There is no indication anywhere that the West wanted a regime change in Russia. For christ sake most western statesmen even now want to keep the Russian regime stable for a variety of reasons (nukes etc). The discourse of giving Putin an off ramp is ever present. This crisis is wholly a product of Russian imperialism and a wish to reassert control over the limitrophe.
No country in the West is stripped of it’s national identity, this is a myth that just wont die no matter what the reality on the ground says.
“It seems fair to conclude that Jewish organizations have uniformly advocated high levels of immigration of all racial and ethnic groups into Western societies and have also advocated a multicultural model for these societies.” — Kevin MacDonald, The Culture of Critique
If this war is a fight for freedom, then the Russian speaking east has a right to secede, correct?
Do you honestly think the US would tolerate a Russian friendly regime in Mexico or Canada? One birthed into existence by Russian NGOs and security services?
I understand any peoples desire to forge their own national identity and to step outside the shadow of a neighboring power with whom they share a complex and tragic history. But aligning with a super power 6,000 miles away and with interests and ideologies of their own is doomed to end in tears.
Finally, if you think the liberal imperium is going to allow Ukraine to carve out a nationalist identity and map out an independent destiny of its own, you are paying much attention.
The arms dealers, military advisors will remain and the money laundering will continue on less lucrative terms, but the Ukrainian people will be stuck with all of the downside of the cynical geopolitical travesty.
No they do not. There is no historical precedent for their autonomy and they were not under threat of genocide or ethnic cleansing. They were used crudely and blatantly by Russia to achieve it’s imagined imperial self worth. Political Russians in the East of UA (not Russian speakers which proved to be overwhelmingly on the side of UA - everyone expect a majority to side with Russia especially in Kharkiv but they did not) decided to be Moscow’s instrument of conquest. They were armed and organized by Russians to stage a rebellion against Kyiv and provide a cover for an all out invasion and annexation of Crime. Russia also provided crucial direct help that saved the rebels in the east. Their fight was a fight of conquest not freedom.
The US already tolerates Cuba. Also even if Canada were to turn fascist I do not think the US would have a right to invade and destroy Canada because of that. Ridiculous argument. Also Ukraine was not birth by NGOs but by the insane, idiotic, kleptocratic and corrupt pro Russian governments that ruled Ukraine since 1990. Young Ukrainians wanted their future to be like that of Poland and the rest of the former east block; remaining a Russian vassal was not an option.
There is no historical precedent for their autonomy? Are you sure you want to go on a historical tour of Ukraine’s ever changing borders, ethnic rivalries, differing languages and conflicts?
Stop wasting your time watching videos on Telegram and read the history. Practice strategic empathy and develop principles you can apply equally to geopolitics.
You may not be aware, but when the Ukrainian head of the USSR put missiles in Cuba it precipitated a nuclear showdown. Ultimately, Khrushchev withdrew his missiles from Cuba and Kennedy took our out of Turkey.
Statesmanship like that may no longer be possible if we don’t under the necessity for regional security complexes.
Ukraine is being ruthlessly used, not protected by our current elites.
Yes, I want to do it. Let’s go Kevin give it your best shot. You can do it buddy.
Ukraine is not being used, it’s an independent actor that could have decided to side with Russia. You are outside of your own mind swimming in the russian propaganda Koolaid. WAKE UP. Stop being a useful idiot and make your ancestors proud by supporting the fight against tyranny.
“They are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blonde hair, I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not become deadly to the human race. They have surpassed all nations in impertinent fables, in bad conduct and in barbarism. They deserve to be punished, for this is their destiny. The Jewish nation dares to display an irreconcilable hatred towards all nations, and revolts against all masters; always superstitious, always greedy for the well-being enjoyed by others, always barbarous; cringing in misfortune and insolent in prosperity.”
Sorry; you are NOT paying much attention. Best case scenario was always going to be Ukraine as a deracinated vassal state used as a source for wealth extraction by the “liberators”. The Orthodox iconography replaced by rainbows, the Bandera history memory-holed and the Azov imagery re-designed by someone in Soros
The man that posts this as his comment: "It’s only in times like this when I read lies from traitors that I wish the West was more like Russia" is ideologically possessed.
Anyway this person is the representative of the Balkan sycophant class, there is no reasoning with them.
I’m not sure who he means when he says “traitors.” I’m American and don’t see how my country’s interests are served by surrounding Russia with “pro-western” satellites. Our foreign policy Hive is better at destabilizing entire regions and opening the floodgates to murderous mayhem than they are at building up peaceful relations and regions.
Nor, do I see what Ukraine receives from this debacle. It is they who are being betrayed by the unholy alliance between their oligarchs and ours.
Kevin you are a traitor to your whole civilization not just america. A traitor of the free world. These are not “satellites” but free market democracies whose only shield against tyranny is the NATO alliance. The US profits from having a large and economically prosperous system of alliances. Look at South Korea, Japan, Germany, the whole of the EU etc. you’d throw all this in the arms of a tyrant??? When the Ukrainian people OVERWHELMINGLY say they want to be part of the West, when they are willing to die for Freedom here comes Kevin, a genius geopolitical visionary, and says NO! We will not support your fight for freedom because I am to stupid to see how that would directly benefit me in the short term. Plus I like to think I am smart when I criticize the mainstream politics in the US. I see an alliance of our oligarchs, I dont see the sea of regular Ukrainians clamoring for freedom. I am willing to be a useful idiot for fascist forces anywhere and anytime!!!
Too many salient points glossed over.
Ukraine has been a "sovereign country" for all of 30 years, artificially created after the collapse of the USSR.
The "century" of mutual hatred you reference is limited to a couple western oblasts home to the Stefan Banderas Nazis who sided with Hitler. Those oblasts were historically part of Poland.
Russia's relationship with the Ukraine goes back hundreds of years. Since well before the Europeans genocided the native Americans. The oblasts Russia is likely to liberate were called "Novorossiya" when I was a kid. Catherine the Great founded Odessa. Go back far enough & Kiev was birthplace of the Rus & the first capital of Russia.
The war that "broke out" in 2014 was a US-instigated, $5B coup to oust the democratically elected president (who wanted to sign trade agreements with both the EU & Russia), to be replaced with Victoria Nuland's hand-picked, Russia-hating puppet government.
The oblasts that Russia "invaded" refused to accept Nuland's puppet government & declared independence, as is their right as declared by the UN ruling & precedent when Kosovo declared independence from Serbia sfter the US intervened there. Kiev's puppet government attacked the independent oblasts. As in Syria, the independent states asked Russia for help.
The damage to the German economy is primarily due to US mining of Nordstream, cutting off their access to economical natural gas. Nato on Nato attack.
You name Russia as the sole nuclear threat. That is laughable. They are very clear on their nuclear policy.
The US neocons are the ones who replaced MAD with "nuclear decapitation strike" on Moscow, back under W. Their sole goal in Ukraine is to position nukes close enough to Moscow to preempt a retaliatory strike. The policy continued under Obama, the US developed the fuze technology needed for such a strike.
Russia will win, hands down, & the "rump state" will likely be carved up, with Transcarpathia going to Hungary, Lviv to Pand, etc.
The US will have a hard time bringing weapons manufacturing back home. I seriously doubt China will be so foolish as to supply the rare earth materials needed to manufacture the advanced weapons so we can attack Taiwan.
The West will be fortunate to get out of this quagmire without triggering WW3 , as Ukraine is going to collapse ; then what? The West will be faced with a dilemma, insomuch, they will either flee Ukraine in a more humiliating debacle than Afghanistan, or, they will double down on failure by intervening like they did in KOsovo back in 1999... they would be insane to do it, but it wouldn't surprise me as the West have gone insane due to decadence, affluence and hedonism ... maybe triggering WW3 is just the inevitable Darwin Award the West have coming
The goal is war on Russia. Nuclear war. Nuclear war that the Maniacs think that they can win.

What I am missing in this voluminous assessment of the future of this region, is the WEF. Is the stated need to reduce the global population. From both perspectives of "the great reset" and "build back better", the war in the region is a win/win situation for the legions of psychopaths that have long planned the present situation. The Russians are closer to Sun Tzu, as they are more deeply aligned with China - including its culture and history. Another author on Substack reminded people of the work that I have also urged those interested in understanding where all this is heading to read: "The Russian-China Double Helix" (https://www.sott.net/article/290554-The-Russian-Chinese-Double-Helix-Unprecedented-alliance) from 2014 is the most comprehensive and insightful work regarding the fusion of Russia and China in order to prevail against western hegemony.

Decadence and hedonism is hardly a west only problem when it comes to world leaders. But nice try.
NATO = NORTH ATLANTIC TRANSGENDER ORGANIZATION
After the apocalypse of 1945, a number of global organizations have been formed with the aim of maintaining and expanding totalitarian liberalism. One of the earliest organizations formed for this purpose was the war alliance "North Atlantic Treaty Organization", or NATO, which can be seen as the military wing of globalism.
In addition to ensuring that Washington always has international support for its military campaigns, NATO as an institution is explicitly anti-white and explicitly dedicated to "racial justice" for racial aliens living in white countries. As early as 1999, NATO authored reports blaming nationalists for a number of modern problems and warning against the influence of nationalism.
In 2023, the war alliance held a summit at its headquarters in Brussels on race where the alliance's leaders pledged to fight "homogeneous attitudes" and to use NATO's "collective intelligence" for the purpose.
In fact, NATO is so dedicated to its anti-white agenda that it openly advocates that institutions must be reshaped to be "inclusive," in other words, restructured to be more anti-white, and consist of fewer white employees and executives.

lol. Any supposed anti-white stuff is a sham to cover its actual white-supremacist aims. It is typical liberalism.

It’s concerning. I’ve wondered are there elements that are seeking to undermine the US. Ukraine is attractive because it is a place where corruption is facilitated. A massive chunk of the funding is being siphoned off. It seems like there is a raiding of the US treasury going on with no regard for the unsustainable debt. In COVID too a massive wealth transfer with no regard to what all this is doing to the country. The mass immigration too. I wonder at times if there is a demolition going on such the US collapses under its own weight the country will be ripe for the pickings and easy to install more authoritarian rule. Just a theory. It just seem all too convenient if one wanted to facilitate a global governance structure that could toss aside the constitution. That incredible document.

Best comment on here. The US and the west in general are the ones undergoing some kind of Bolshevik homo cultural revolution and probably economic collapse. Not Russia. It sure seems like at least Russia has leaders that are loyal to their own country. Their nationalism doesn't really look like a weakness as far as I can tell. In the west, we currently have no national consensus and no ability to respond to any real threat. We are run by "leaders" that are literally working to destroy the country that's provided them with such a horn of plenty while they loot what's left of the treasury. If the US suffers economic collapse, I doubt if half the country will be motivated to lift a finger to help save the major institutions, kind of like what happened in the Soviet Union.
The West have became a parody of the final years of the Soviet Unions, while Putin's Russia has morphed into a traditional nation state .... in 30 years the political poles have reversed
I remember growing up, we used to laugh at the Soviet system, and rightfully so I guess. But history is a joker and now the joke's on us.
Remember how we laughed at Pravda? Baghdad Bob?
Now we have our own!
I used to listen to the Shortwave in the 70s, where I could hear the radio services of many countries. Radio Moscow strived to provide accurate reporting on any number of issues many of which, yes, yes, were "Anti-American", like the plight of the American black man, the war ON Vietnam, their many coups and assassinations. There was no need to lie and history has shown me that they did not. RFE and VOA OTOH? Just nonsense, war propaganda for low info heavily propagandised Americans, Brits, and Canadians.

The 2020 election was a Flu d'etat by Dem Bolsheviks , and they don't ever intend to lose power again as they have developed a way to rig US elections
These Dem radicals intend to transform America like the original Bolsheviks did to Russia ; 2020 is their 1917 moment , their ground zero , or Germinal !
Agreed. It's a big moment in time. Look at how catastrophically and for how long the Bolsheviks screwed up Russia. Ditto for Mao over there in China. Even though Americans have taken this all on the chin so far, it's by no means a done deal yet. Targeting the Great American Redneck as the enemy is a going to be a pretty tough piece of meat for them to chew. People have had just about enough of their bullshit and their magic wand printing press is starting to go flaccid. They've picked too many fights at once in my opinion. Poking the bear with one stick, declaring war on conservatives, killing citizens with a laboratory pathogen, killing more citizens with a deadly shit shot, attacking allies (e.g, blowing up the NS2), sanctioning half the world, and even pissing off China. Yikes. I don't know how many people are finally awake, but a hell of a lot more than in early 2020, that's for sure.
What is your definition of "screwing up"? Does it include for example the industrialization, over the course of just ~10-15 years, of the almost purely agrarian country into the one that managed to withstand the German invasion during WWII thus not allowing to genocide tens of millions of slavs as subhumans?
They have picked the fights for a reason. The reason is they wish to destroy what is left of the USA and Liberty.
They are trying to rewrite history, make the rest of the world look on the American experiment in self governance as a thing to be avoided at all costs.
It is narrative writing and the Communists in our midst will do everything and anything to wipe us out.
I wouldn’t laugh. The Soviet system was so powerful that it put a rump version of itself in a position to win a war against us 30 years after it collapsed. The RF’s entire war doctrine was built on the leftovers of Soviet military and production culture.
When the Iron Curtain fell down the Bolshevik Jews all fled to the other side because they knew what the Russians would do to them after 100 years of communism.
The best thing about Russia getting Crimea back . . . Catherine the Great took it from the Turks… What happened right after Russia retook Crimea? The Russian FSB searched all the Turks living there . . . Why? Because NATO sponsors Islamist terrorism when it suits them to . . .
NATO = North Atlantic Terrorist Organization
I seem to recollect the Uncle Joe starved 11M Ukrainians when he ruled the USSR. Was he being led by Jews? Or could it have been that communism was just hitting its stride at that point, regardless of what brought about its existence?
Life in the USSR, for most people was not bad, not bad at all. Don't believe the old lies.
Useful idiot much there Bill? If you don't believe the right wing critics I strongly suggest reading Emma Goldman's Disillusionment in Russia, she was a left anarchist and strong supporter of Russian revolution who was eventually deported to Russia from the U.S. She did not enjoy her experience there and was actually there when the Knonstadt massacre of Russian anarchist sailors happened.

Fantastic analysis. Every word.
Mearsheimer is just "okay" on these matters, but is still far far better than the crazed and stupid warmongers who have their greasy fingers on all the buttons.
Bizarrely, he does not count America's war ON Afghanistan as one of the 'disastrous' wars. The Taleban offered to turn over former CIA operative Osama bin Laden both before and after 911.
Barak Obama's mentor Zbigniew Brzezinski (Mika’s father) 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 . . . Brezinski, for all practical purposes, can be called the ‘Grandfather of ISIS.’

All true, but it is not all he did. Looks like he influenced the foreign policy direction towards Russia after USSR collapsed. He argued that Russia would not do well if it was cut off from Europe and the Black Sea, hence the idea of adding Ukraine and Georgia to the NATO.
You're full of bovine excrement.

The war ON Russia started the day that "Bush" acting on direction from the Permanent Government, tore up the foundational ABM Treaty, thus laying the groundwork for a preemptive strike on the "Sovs" and of course, the "ChiComs".
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, 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

Please stop spamming the comments section. One message is enough.
The Thirteen Families control Wall Street, Wall Street controls Ukrainian politics, and the Thirteen Families make Slavs kill each other.
You're cum drunk.
The United States government is a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Israeli Political Action Committee . . .
Volodymyr Zelensky is an Israeli operative, the Ukrainian parliament is full of Jewish apparatchiks . . . Jews Anthony Blinken and Victoria Nuland grew up in Ukraine.
Jew Biden has a cabinet full of Bolshevist Jews, two of which (Blinken and Nuland) grew up in Ukraine . . . this is another Jewish war against Russians, funded by the Mensheviks on Wall Street and the London Stock Exchange.
Absolutely excellent comment, Mary.
One of the Ruzzian goals were to denazify Ukraine. When nazi Ruzzia invaded Ukraine in 2014 it was done by Russian nazis. They were in charge and the first Ruzzian puppet in charge was Pavel Gubarev.
Donbas have a big majority of ethnic Ukrainians as proven in the counting of people in Ukraine 2001. Photos show Donetsk in 2014. Ruzzian nazi propaganda portrait Donbas as a one big gang of Ruzzian supporters and its huge misleading info.
You are so right that Mearsheimer and a few other American scholars have been indulging in their own fantasies and self-concocted histories.
You're cum drunk.
The Soviets sided with Hitler
Didn't the Soviets call for collective security against Germany? Britain and France paid no attention. So the Soviets signed a non aggression pact with Germany, to protect themselves. They didn't ‘side’ with Germany, they fought and defeated them.
Semantics. They effectively sided with the Nazis, partitioned Poland in league with them, invaded Finland. Totalitarian regime through & through.
Um, no they didn't. They defeated Hitler.
The US imported key Nazis & put them in positions of power.
And, btw, Russia is not the USSR.
Molotov-Ribbentrop was the treaty where they sided with the Nazis. Fact!
You make perfect sense to me. Said with much more precision than I could but that’s basically everything I have gleaned from the situation as well.

Stupid putin propaganda narrative
He’s not glossing over anything in his analysis. He is approaching this from the realist school of international relations. He is a well known realist and believes it gives the right predictions more often than not. The focus is on great power conflicts.
Did you actually read the article and give it some thought based on his academic position? I have differences of opinion with him on China but he makes sense according to his position/
Yes, I did "actually read the article" & give it some thought.
Note my first statement: salient *facts* that his article leaves out.
He can have his own academic opinion, but any opinion, academic or otherwise, is only as good as the facts that inform it.
And ignoring facts does not make them go away.
Was this the first time you ever encountered Mr. Mearsheimer? The essay suffers only from the curse that successful writers experience: having to repeat every single piece of history, opinion or data touching on an argument made about how the US is responsible for provoking the SMO, that led to the entirely avoidable catastrophe of a war, that may smolder ruinously in a region of the world, or destroy us all over the world.
Some of your salient facts aren’t essential to the argument in this essay. If every salient fact each of us could come up with we’re included, it would be even longer than it already is!
Nothing you mentioned was a revelation. I am familiar with every point you made, and I am certainly no expert. You fail to actually show how any of your points are required for an understanding of this argument. Address the argument.
Thank you.
Also, check out Glenn Greenwald’s System Update interview re: this particular essay. It’s on Rumble.
The whole interview requires a subscription to hear now. Glenn May release it for general distribution at some point if the interviewee agrees. Greenwald is an excellent resource for analysis and interviews on critical current events.

I would have to fortify myself with at least one pitcher of mint juleps to get any farther than paragraph one, sir.

As bad as the war has been for Ukraine, it will prove to be a blessing to the world as it has set in motion the end of the Globalist American Empire. The GAE sealed its fate when it cut Russia off from SWIFT. Every sovereign nation saw the dollar become a weapon, and now many are seeking alternative trade payment arrangements.
Over the long term that means the end of the dollar as the world's reserve currency. Not a quick process, but it has already started. And that means the long term end of the empire. The GAE will not be able to print money and export most of its inflation aboard. Nor will it be able to afford its gigantic, inefficient military industrial complex.
All empires fall eventually, and the GAE is no exception to that rule.
I agree 100% with your second paragraph. However the key in the timeframe of course. There has to be an alternative to the USD. Lots of folks out there saying its BTC, its Gold...its a basket of commodities... I don't know but I suspect it will be a slow process over at least 10 probably 20 years. However they may be a Black Swan out there that drives things faster. I suspect it will be a painful process and not just for the USA. A multi polar world is going to face some terrible problems in the decade ahead. All the best to you.
The problems a multi-polar world will face will come almost exclusively from the death pangs of the American Empire. Empire's lash out as they collapse. Which seems to be exactly what the USA Empire is doing right now in multiple places around the globe.

Well spoken. It is hard to accept the Great Eastern European Meatgrinder as the price to pay for this, and I'm barely affected in any direct way, but end this empire must.
Very good analysis by John Mearsheimer. I have seen many articles condemning John's perspectives regarding the Russo-Ukraine war, however, on balance I support the analysis and have personally concluded that the West (primarily the US and the UK) has triggered the current war.
I fear that Ukrainian losses will mount very quickly as Russia gains strength and tests/adapts its increasing weaponry advantage. The current Ukrainian offensive is NOT gaining significant territory and those gains are at a tremendous cost. Compare the military video releases which during this offensive show terrible and daily Ukrainian battlefield losses and yet, compared to 2022 Ukrainian defense and territorial counterattacks, there are very few Ukrainian videos show successful Russian losses. That alone sends a clear message.
During 2022 we in the West were continually told the Russian economy would collapse, the Ruble would collapse, the Russian army and airforce would collapse, the Russians were running out of: soldiers, generals, aircraft, missiles, bombs, tanks etc. When this patently did not happen we were then told that the M777 Howitzer and +HIMARS provision would change the state of play.... then the Leopards and Chieftains would make a difference.... then the Patriot Missile batteries would be a game changer. As we can clearly see today the majority (at LEAST 51%) of these systems are now either destroyed, unserviceable, under repair or pulled back from anywhere close to the battlefront. Now we hear a chorus of give them F16s, that will change the score!!! Send M1A1 Abrams sooner and win this war!!! It's all nonsense. Whats more the Western media continues to press the narrative that Ukraine can will this war. Give the Ukrainians the tools and they can win.
It's simply shocking. The US, primarily, is precipitating the destruction of Ukraine and is currently fight this proxy war ....even unto the "last available Ukrainian soldier". History will not view Blinken, Noland and most of all Senator Graham kindly (not to forget the lying bumbling fool and US lap dog and now disgraced ex UK PM Boris Johnson). For their hands are covered in blood....... every bit as much as Zelensky and Putin.
Those over engineered , expensive ''wunda weapons'' are being quickly turned to junk by Russian mass artillery and cheap drones from Iran and China
Our so called leaders are educated idiots, wrong on everything, and yet these deluded fools think themselves qualified to engage in nuclear poker and brinkmanship with serious political actors like Putin and lavrov . Quite frankly, we are going to be fortunate to escape this quagmire without haplessly triggering WW3 , that we will surely lose
Great comment.
I would not call Uncle Joe "over-educated" though! ;)

They aren't idiots. They are doing it all on purpose. And the purpose is to destroy us, not them.
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.

Our American President is doing globally what he’s done domestically in the US, namely dividing into a binary choice of being a friend or an enemy. Neutrality is unacceptable.
First of all, there are *videos* on twitter of dead Russians in the dozens everyday. Literally becoming cat/dog food. Bodies on bodies on bodies. And those are only the ones caught on camera. Russians regularly abandon their dead and their bodies are sometimes found only as skeletons. They care, as history demonstrates too, very little for human life. Secondly, Ukraine is definitely making bigger gains now than Russia did during it’s winter offensive even though the majority of the forces have not been deployed yet. Thirdly, wester weapons did prove to be crucial. HIMARS especially, as well as the M777. They successfully annihilated the Russian push during the summer of 2022 and given the Ukrainians the option to regain Kharkiv and Kherson. Fourthly, the Russian economy took a significant hit, but unfortunately India and China saved it from collapsing. Still, the rubble is on a stead downward trend and is projected to reach the bottom it conquered in March 2022, pretty soon. Fifthly, the EU hasn't even felt anything. As someone who lives in the EU all I see around me is money money and more money. The economy is booming….in the medium to long run Russia has no chance to somehow win economically over the West hahahah what a crazy idea even to think about it. Sixthly, yes, some were saying Russia was about to run out of missiles and look at what happened…Russian missile attacks are significantly less frequent and potent from the peak of one massive barrage every two weeks. Also, the west was going to run out of shells too, right? The US was supposed to be producing only 14k shells a month and yet somehow the Russians are still getting pounded into oblivion. Seventhly, 51% of wester weapons destroyed? Hahahahha you just pulled that right out of your behind, right? Obviously military hardware is meant to be used and take hits, especially the IFVs and Tanks. Btw where is Armata!?! Hahaha HIMARS however - NOT ONE DESTROYED. Incredible. Simply stunning. The only mistake the West keeps making is waiting unnecessarily long to give weapons. They should give Ukraine everything except Nukes. Finally, who is winning? Well, Ukraine was supposed to be demilitarized (now it’s one of the best armed and equipped armies in the world), it was supposed to be turned into a Russian puppet state (denazification) but now it’s absurd to even think about Russians conquering Kyiv. It was supposed to become a neutral state but now it’s going to be a de facto NATO member. Russia was supposed to secure a safe land bridge to Crimea and yet those pesky HIMARS and STORM SHADOWS make it inconceivable now. Ukraine today is the most famous country in the world and the modern Antemurale Christianitatis except it’s defending democracy against tyrannical Eastern Hordes.
Sorry, don't agree with anything you say. You are clearly deluded by the lies you hear, or perhaps by personal pain. We shall see how things progress. I still wish you the best. Stay safe.
The man is a Russophobe from the Balkans, an extremely vile sort.

I love Russians, I actually have Russian friends unlike you. Haha I hate the fascist Putin regime that is willing to kill hundreds of thousands of Russians and Ukrainians so that he can fulfill his wet dream of being a conqueror. Sad.
Sure you do. Cut the crap Ljubomire Filipoviću, you are a vile propagandist.
Good argument. Pure logic. Excepted nothing less.
You forgot to mention the West's role in this carnage, it's been pouring oil on this fire from 2014 on (google the lieaked discussion between Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt).

He's a filthy lying Jew, like the Bolshevists Anthony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, Jake Sullivan, Janet Yellen, Angelino Mayorkas, Merrick Garland, Emmanuel Macron, et. al.
“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).

The Russian shill says I’m deluded hahahaha I always say to rushist bots, reading your insane coping and flat out denialism of reality makes me laugh and be sad at the same time.
If it is Russia that has the grandiose dreams of being conquerors, why did Russia sign and abide by two different peace agreements that the West all lied about? Shouldn't that have been the other way around?
Jewish Corruption in Ukraine . . . by Andrew Joyce, Ph.D.
❝. . . the present conflict is a huge distraction from the fact that, for decades, the biggest threat to Ukraine hasn’t been Russia, but financiers and speculators operating with impunity within Ukraine’s borders to exploit ethnic Ukrainians and plunder their resources.❞
https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2023/02/17/jewish-corruption-in-ukraine/
The peace agreements were meant to make Ukraine into a vassal state of RF - giving the regions under de facto RU control "special status" and ability to veto Ukrainian political decisions.
Sure Putin would rather prefer to have Ukraine as a vassal state without resorting to military confrontation, and maybe later incorporating it like Belarus.
Whether he should have been given this opportunity - probably. Probably the West should have concentrated on making its frontiers an impenetrable wall rather then expanding to territories that are ill suited for defense.
Defense from what exactly? Russia is not a threat to try to conquer Europe. It is NATO that is both expansionary and has a military only designed for offensive maneuvers rather than defense as is Russia's military.
Nothing more stupid than a foreign-born Russian shill. Єто Росия sums up the incompetence and corruption under Putin pretty well
Ukraine’s “fame” is one no other country would envy. She is being demographically destroyed and reduced to a field lab for Western weaponry and insurgency strategies. Our elites will leave a legacy of environmental ruin, cultural wreckage and human trafficking in their wake.
I don’t see a contradiction. Ukraine is being used by the liberal imperium to force regime change in Russia and if it the plan worked (it didn’t) it would be subsumed into the imperium and stripped of the very national identity you purport to cherish.
There is no indication anywhere that the West wanted a regime change in Russia. For christ sake most western statesmen even now want to keep the Russian regime stable for a variety of reasons (nukes etc). The discourse of giving Putin an off ramp is ever present. This crisis is wholly a product of Russian imperialism and a wish to reassert control over the limitrophe.
No country in the West is stripped of it’s national identity, this is a myth that just wont die no matter what the reality on the ground says.
Joe Bribem said, " Putin cannot remain in power."
If not regime change, what exactly does that mean?
Jew Biden has a cabinet full of Bolshevist Jews, two of which (Blinken and Nuland) grew up in Ukraine. . . .
Make no mistake, this is another Jewish war against Russians, funded by the Mensheviks on Wall Street and the London Stock Exchange.

If this war is a fight for freedom, then the Russian speaking east has a right to secede, correct?
Do you honestly think the US would tolerate a Russian friendly regime in Mexico or Canada? One birthed into existence by Russian NGOs and security services?
I understand any peoples desire to forge their own national identity and to step outside the shadow of a neighboring power with whom they share a complex and tragic history. But aligning with a super power 6,000 miles away and with interests and ideologies of their own is doomed to end in tears.
Finally, if you think the liberal imperium is going to allow Ukraine to carve out a nationalist identity and map out an independent destiny of its own, you are paying much attention.
The arms dealers, military advisors will remain and the money laundering will continue on less lucrative terms, but the Ukrainian people will be stuck with all of the downside of the cynical geopolitical travesty.
No they do not. There is no historical precedent for their autonomy and they were not under threat of genocide or ethnic cleansing. They were used crudely and blatantly by Russia to achieve it’s imagined imperial self worth. Political Russians in the East of UA (not Russian speakers which proved to be overwhelmingly on the side of UA - everyone expect a majority to side with Russia especially in Kharkiv but they did not) decided to be Moscow’s instrument of conquest. They were armed and organized by Russians to stage a rebellion against Kyiv and provide a cover for an all out invasion and annexation of Crime. Russia also provided crucial direct help that saved the rebels in the east. Their fight was a fight of conquest not freedom.
The US already tolerates Cuba. Also even if Canada were to turn fascist I do not think the US would have a right to invade and destroy Canada because of that. Ridiculous argument. Also Ukraine was not birth by NGOs but by the insane, idiotic, kleptocratic and corrupt pro Russian governments that ruled Ukraine since 1990. Young Ukrainians wanted their future to be like that of Poland and the rest of the former east block; remaining a Russian vassal was not an option.
There is no historical precedent for their autonomy? Are you sure you want to go on a historical tour of Ukraine’s ever changing borders, ethnic rivalries, differing languages and conflicts?
Stop wasting your time watching videos on Telegram and read the history. Practice strategic empathy and develop principles you can apply equally to geopolitics.
You may not be aware, but when the Ukrainian head of the USSR put missiles in Cuba it precipitated a nuclear showdown. Ultimately, Khrushchev withdrew his missiles from Cuba and Kennedy took our out of Turkey.
Statesmanship like that may no longer be possible if we don’t under the necessity for regional security complexes.
Ukraine is being ruthlessly used, not protected by our current elites.
Yes, I want to do it. Let’s go Kevin give it your best shot. You can do it buddy.
Ukraine is not being used, it’s an independent actor that could have decided to side with Russia. You are outside of your own mind swimming in the russian propaganda Koolaid. WAKE UP. Stop being a useful idiot and make your ancestors proud by supporting the fight against tyranny.
"The US tolerates Cuba"
How big of them.

“They are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blonde hair, I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not become deadly to the human race. They have surpassed all nations in impertinent fables, in bad conduct and in barbarism. They deserve to be punished, for this is their destiny. The Jewish nation dares to display an irreconcilable hatred towards all nations, and revolts against all masters; always superstitious, always greedy for the well-being enjoyed by others, always barbarous; cringing in misfortune and insolent in prosperity.”
— François-Marie Voltaire
I think I am not the only one here who is not interested in opinions based on fantasies. Read the article and learn something.
Sorry; you are NOT paying much attention. Best case scenario was always going to be Ukraine as a deracinated vassal state used as a source for wealth extraction by the “liberators”. The Orthodox iconography replaced by rainbows, the Bandera history memory-holed and the Azov imagery re-designed by someone in Soros
The man that posts this as his comment: "It’s only in times like this when I read lies from traitors that I wish the West was more like Russia" is ideologically possessed.
Anyway this person is the representative of the Balkan sycophant class, there is no reasoning with them.
I’m not sure who he means when he says “traitors.” I’m American and don’t see how my country’s interests are served by surrounding Russia with “pro-western” satellites. Our foreign policy Hive is better at destabilizing entire regions and opening the floodgates to murderous mayhem than they are at building up peaceful relations and regions.
Nor, do I see what Ukraine receives from this debacle. It is they who are being betrayed by the unholy alliance between their oligarchs and ours.
Anyone that does not agree to his masters agenda. The man is Ljubomir Filipović, a vile local low level propagandist.
Kevin you are a traitor to your whole civilization not just america. A traitor of the free world. These are not “satellites” but free market democracies whose only shield against tyranny is the NATO alliance. The US profits from having a large and economically prosperous system of alliances. Look at South Korea, Japan, Germany, the whole of the EU etc. you’d throw all this in the arms of a tyrant??? When the Ukrainian people OVERWHELMINGLY say they want to be part of the West, when they are willing to die for Freedom here comes Kevin, a genius geopolitical visionary, and says NO! We will not support your fight for freedom because I am to stupid to see how that would directly benefit me in the short term. Plus I like to think I am smart when I criticize the mainstream politics in the US. I see an alliance of our oligarchs, I dont see the sea of regular Ukrainians clamoring for freedom. I am willing to be a useful idiot for fascist forces anywhere and anytime!!!
