Putin told the flag-waving crowd, 'We have not had unity like this for a long time.'​


Putin Rallies Supporters at Moscow Event

The gathering at Luzhniki Stadium, which hosted the men’s soccer World Cup final in 2018, marked the eighth anniversary of Russia’s seizure of Crimea from Ukraine.

Russia followed the annexation by fomenting a rebellion in eastern Ukraine, a protracted conflict that had already cost more than 14,000 lives before Russia launched an all-out assault on its neighbor on Feb. 24.

“We will definitely implement all the expected plans,” Mr. Putin told the crowd to cheers and applause. “We have not had unity like this for a long time.”

The U.S. Is Mindlessly Marching Toward War With Russia

Zelensky-1-1200x675.png




There’s been a shift in Washington. The talk is no longer about sanctions on Moscow but how best to escalate U.S. involvement in the war.


The day after smirking former comedian "High Heels" Zelenskyy addressed Congress, the DEMOCRAT-dominated American press was understandably filled with paeans to his courage and leadership, his clarity of purpose and firm resolve in the face of mortal danger.

Zelenskyy knows what he’s fighting for, and he stands as a counterexample of things we hope for in our own "leader", but do not have.

But there is something else behind this celebration of Zelenskyy.

His speech, after all, was a rather straightforward request for the United States and our North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies to intervene on behalf of Ukraine.

“In the darkest time for our country, for the whole of Europe, I call on you to do more,” he prattled, invoking Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

He backed off, a little, from his repeated pleas for NATO to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine, and instead pressed for fighter jets and long-range surface-to-air missile systems — military aid of a kind that would be unprecedented, and would drag the United States and NATO right up to and over the line of belligerence.

Zelenskyy can’t really be faulted for wanting to draw the West into this war. He is trying to save his job.

But our leaders have a responsibility not to be pulled into the conflict, however unpopular that might be in the current media environment.

Instead, we’re seeing just the opposite: the emergence of a bipartisan, establishment consensus in Washington that the United States and NATO must ratchet up military aid to Ukraine, right now, without even trying to articulate an overarching strategy, or what an end-state to the conflict might look like.

On the same day as Zelenskyy’s speech, bungling Biden announced a new round of $800 million in antiaircraft weapons and other military equipment for Ukraine.

That’s a small slice of the $14 billion in security aid to Ukraine that Congress recently passed as part of a massive spending bill. Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., channeling the consensus, wants to send more of everything. “If it shoots, we should ship it,” he said.

DEMOCRAT House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., went a bit further. During a rules committee hearing he blurted out, “We’re at war. We ought to do everything we possibly can to make sure they can meet this enemy and defeat this enemy.”

The Last War for the Neocons

13927718486_f08b2dd5a0_b.jpg










The history of Western man is the history of war.

The Russians are now talked about as if they are bloodthirsty murder robots.

Western pundits speak of them only in terms of their martial ability.

While this may seem like nothing more than a fanciful observation, it is at the center of American foreign policy. The architects of Russian policy are Victoria Nuland and Robert Kagan, the son of Donald Kagan. The father was an arch neocon and a former classics professor at Yale University, whose specialty was ancient Greece. He is famous for his four-volume history of the Peloponnesian War.

For the neoconservatives, ancient Athens has always been at the center of their moral philosophy, especially with regards to America’s role in the world.

Western history is about the dynamic of Athens and Jerusalem. They see themselves as the latter, animating the former. The short version of their ideology says history leads to the final victory of Athens over Sparta and the completion of America’s mission.

This is not something that can be overstated with regards to the neocons.

This is why they are obsessed with the Russians. The Slavic people, in many respects, lie outside the West.

The Russians were indispensable in World War II. They lost 8.35 million men driving the Nazis to the edge of Berlin. On the other hand, they were blamed for setting off the Cold War and dividing the West for generations.

You see it in the relentless provocations of Russia. There is no reason to add Ukraine to NATO or the E.U. There is no reason to add Georgia. The truth is, there was no sound reason to add countries like Poland or the Baltic states. NATO existed to counter the Warsaw Pact in the Cold War. Once that ended, the organization had no reason to exist, until the neoconservative refashioned it.

Russian was once again cast as the eternal enemy.

It has been three decades of pointless provocations, which have finally broken the peace in Europe.

The entirety of the neoconservative subculture is now organized around using the war to bring the United States into direct conflict with the Russian Federation. They see this as their chance to bring about the last war.

Thucydides wrote that war is a violent teacher. Maybe this war finally breaks America of its imperial ambitions. Perhaps then America can go back to being what it aspires to be, the modern Athens.

Are you a sucker? The people who own "defense" stocks hope so

Collectivist ideology, bureaucracy, the mass media, and social media are now pushing much of the world toward absolute conformity.

At one time the Big Tech companies encouraged a multiplicity of views and voices.

Then they decided on a policy of punishing and excluding unapproved views.

Rather than providing real freedom of expression, they decided to turn their platforms into engines of conformity.

So now Facebook justifies censorship in the name of “the Facebook community,” which is nothing more than a collection of individuals making use of that corporation’s social media platform.

Oppressive conformity is an enormous problem for all of us these days, as the antics of “cancel culture” regularly demonstrate.

Of course, the pressure of conformity has always been part of life, but in the free world it was once more effectively regulated by critical thinking, the legacy of our Western influences.

Thankfully, there are still many pushing back against conformist “community”.

Are you one of them?

Nice copypasta! :)
 
I am torn by this event. On one hand, Ukraine is a corrupt nation with major issues of it's own. Russia has a corrupt power hungry leader who thinks he is Stalin.

I am not sure it matters to NATO or our interests what happens in Ukraine other than the despicable humanitarian disaster created by the detested Russian troops. :dunno:

It is what it is, TD.

I don't want to get nuked because bungling Biden's Obama retreads want to play chicken with Putin to help their party out in November.

I think Putin has a point. Remember what the USA did when the Russians and Cubans set up shop in the Caribbean?

Nobody wants to be surrounded by puppet states bristling with weapons aimed at them.

For many decades after the second World War, foreign interventions by the United States were common.

The reach of the U.S. was seemingly unlimited and, thanks to their dominance of the oceans of the world, the U.S. military was willing and able to ‘defend American interests offensively’ anywhere in the world. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the world became uni-polar, which prompted Francis Fukuyama to announce the “end of history” early in the ‘90s.

But, as with all Empires, there is always a danger of over-extension.

It became apparent that simply bombing a country into submission and installing a new government wasn’t enough to maintain lasting influence in a region, and neither was offering a course on Gender Politics at Kabul University.

Attempts to occupy Iraq and Afghanistan have run up the death toll and proven the impossibility of shaping foreign societies according to Western models, even after many years of attempted restructuring.

Last year, the American retreat from Afghanistan and the following blitz by the Taliban rattled the Western world.

It was the first chapter of an Empire in retreat, unable and unwilling to commit itself anymore to the task of controlling its furthest provinces.

What we are witnessing in Ukraine is—independent of the outcome—the second chapter.

The third chapter, presumably, will be Taiwan, after which the world will have completed its shift from a uni-polar back to a multi-polar world order.

Whether we like it or not, the West will have to adjust to this situation in its dealings with other parts of the world.

It should also be noted that the challenges and strategies in the United States differ from those in Europe.

America is already in the process of re-evaluating its strategies.

The future legacy of bungling Joe Biden (which looks to be disastrous) will only speed up this process.

For a Europe that has been relying on its transatlantic partner for all its military needs, the time will soon arrive to reappraise whether the Big Brother from overseas is willing and able to protect them, or whether he considers them a buffer zone on one hand, and a competitor on the other, best used to engage in conflicts with other major powers to strengthen the position of the United States.

It's time for your red pill.

Something smells rotten in Ukraine.

The narrative is rotten, rancid, stinky, hinky; the story just doesn't add up.

Bungling Biden and his lapdog media desperately want you to believe Russia is the bad guy and Ukraine is a little angel.

They want you to fall in love with underdog Ukraine.

They want you to support America getting involved on behalf of Ukraine.

To get your support, they need the DEMOCRAT-dominated media to sell you a bill of goods.

But it just doesn't add up.

Bungling Biden was the one who funded Russia's invasion; along with the NATO members who rely on Putin's energy to fuel their countries because "green energy" is a pathetic failure. Bungling Biden killed our pipelines - and Europe's, killed coal and banned drilling, which made us dependent on imported oil -- which made Russia filthy rich and arrogant. Bungling Biden paid for this war.

Does this make sense?

Connect the dots.

Bungling Biden is a feeble, feckless old puppet with dementia. Obama's old foreign policy fuckups pull bungling Biden's strings.

Consider this your red pill moment. Choose wisely.
