Through it all

I know that I am not alone, in my thinking, nor in my beliefs.   

Over at Arthur Sido’s place one of the commenters spelled things out perfectly for someone that was tossing some ‘ENEMEDIA’ slop around.   Normally I just link these, but in this case, I have to quote it. (Link provided as well.)

Mike, I am no expert on Russia or Ukraine. But based on everything I have read, (and I have read volumes of stuff about this situation in recent months just trying to come up to speed) I would respectfully disagree with some of your conclusions.

Putin is definitely what we would refer to as a ‘strongman’. That is a term that in times past the media or intelligentsia would use to describe an autocratic ruler of a country. But in post-Soviet Russia, that is the only kind of ruler who could have survived. Survived as in avoiding being killed by competitors for his position. So yes, he may be a ruthless leader, but he is not crazy or delusional.

Putin has publicly denounced and renounced Communism. He has also done much to revive Eastern Orthodox Christianity in Russia. The idea that he wants to reconstitute the old Soviet Union is from remarks he made that have been purposely presented out of context by Western media. When he said the breakup of the Soviet Union was a great catastrophe, he was referring specifically to the chaos and power vacuums that resulted, especially in the newly leaderless republics. This is what caused many of those countries to be ruled by oligarchs who plundered the assets and resources of those countries, resulting in the impoverishment of their peoples. THIS is what he was lamenting, not the loss of the Communist Soviet Union.

Does any of this make him a good guy? Maybe not. But he is not the latest pefsonification of Hitler that all of GloboHomo, the media, and the WEF make him out to be. And for many years he has had absolutely valid security concerns that the US and NATO have been willfully provoking. The US could absolutely have prevented this invasion of Ukraine. Our government chose to encourage it instead by poking the Russian bear over and over again.

Yes, OF COURSE Putin wants to install a government in Kiev that is friendly to Russia, or at least NEUTRAL and NOT HOSTILE. That is what existed up until 2014 when the US orchestrated a color revolution and an overthrow of the legitimately and democratically elected government in Ukraine. Ever since then, US politicians such as Biden, Kerry, Pelosi, Mitt Romney, and others on both sides of the aisle have been using Ukraine as their own personal money laundry.

Zelensky is presented by the media as this beleaguered hero fighting for his country. Not quite. He has amassed around 1.2 BILLION dollars as his cut from the money laundering operations, which he has stashed in various Central American banks. He also owns a 34 million dollar mansion right on Miami Beach, for which be paid cash. So while he exhorts his countrymen to fight (and die) in the streets, he himself is not out there leading the fight, but rather planning to escape to Florida and live the good life.

Putin’s tactics are actually strategically and tactically well thought out. His forces are deliberately NOT destroying infrastructure. And they are NOT targeting civilians. So far, casualties on both sides have been remarkably small. Rather than annihilating Ukranian forces, which they could easily do, the Russians are encircling them, and then waiting them out while encouraging them to surrender. Their goal is to capture Ukraine intact with as little loss of life as possible. Once that is accomplished, Putin naturally plans to install a new government – one that is Russia friendly. How is that any worse than what we did in 2014?

Ukraine is in Russia’s front yard. They have far more of a right to meddle there than we do. They are simply following their own version of the Monroe Doctrine. We everyday Joe Normal Americans have no business being involved there. But the elites in our GloboHomo government certainly want us to think we do. But we don’t.

note that he hits on things just as I have, here over the last couple of weeks.   He expresses one point I didn’t and that is that Putins words were likely taken out of context (a usual tactic of propaganda Corps.) I used Putins’ past as an ‘Excuse’ for his words and fell into the fallacy of not thinking they may have been out of context.

Then there is the post I linked to this morning,,,,     I haven’t dug into it anymore, but I did bring it up in conversation with T at work.  We were both flabbergasted by the audacity of it, but interestingly, neither of us wrote it off as complete bullshit either.  Hell, the way the last two years have gone and how much of Covidiocy conspiracy is coming to light, I don’t think anyone is ready to write off anything as ‘impossible’ at this point.   BUT, T brought up one hell of a point: “What would Russia have to gain by ‘faking’ an Invasion?”   The only thing I could come up with was 1) reasonable Negotiation power when it came time for ‘peace talks’ and 2) a way to distance themselves from China which is having serious financial issues right now from the few reports I have been picking up on.      

AND YET, there is this as well, and it DOES spin synchronous to what we are seeing/hearing.  It matches what Putin has stated prior and post invasion. A lack of ‘war’ by the above post would be explained by the tactics as described in the second post.   The ‘Poking of the Bear’ by our administration is still very obvious and more so everyday that this continues, including the Buy/Don’t buy fuel from Russia argument that keeps getting tossed back and forth.   Why Russia hasn’t cut us off completely says more about their integrity than ours by far, at least they are still honoring deals made despite the fact that US/NATO has shit all over them the last quarter year.

BUT, I am still starting to wonder just how much of this is wagging the dog, and how much is a bloody chess board with the Royalty having dinner over wine with the opposition.

One bright point though, The more we see stuff like the above, the less likely the Canned Sunshine gets released.   So far, even with Zipper-head Xi-den Emperor poopy-pants the first having his strings pulled, and that nothing seemingly makes any sense, there is some amount of strategy in play, even if we can’t see the game board like those pushing the pieces around can.
