On the topic of the framing of this conflict, it's interesting how boomers, even well meaning boomers, basically are locked into their mindset as their brains calcified with age, unable to update their worldview to account for new information. For example Zman - who writes daily and who I think is well meaning and not controlled, and he sometimes has decent things to say about other topics - is locked into his Russia/Putin Good, West Bad mindset; he simply *cannot process* that both Ukraine, Russia, and the United States are all controlled by higher powers. See his (stupid) post from a couple days ago: https://thezman.com/wordpress/?p=33852 . I have spelled out how it works to him step by step, I have linked to Slavsquat's post with Strelkov's list of excellent questions and linked to a couple of your relevant posts, and it is totally ignored. And he's one of the better ones out there! "As the great Max Planck, himself the originator of the quantum theory in physics, has said, science makes progress funeral by funeral: the old are never converted by the new doctrines, they simply are replaced by a new generation." This concept applies not just to science, I think, but also to political worldviews and metaphysics...

Perhaps you should not use the term boomers, especially in a pejorative sense, as that was propaganda against those people that everyone swallowed hook, line, and sinker at the time. Boomers have nothing to do with any economic crisis in the US that started in those days.

BTW, all generations have fallen for Putin/Kremlin QAnon lies, not just certain generation. Even entire countries, like Syria and Sudan fell for it and paid the price.

I'm writing this for fun. Actually, I'm a boomer (an early boomer in fact) but my brain is not so calcified as to not read Rurik regularly. In fact, my brain is so calcified, I generally have to read him at least twice before fully understanding what he says.

I call it a boomer mindset but “not all boomers are like that” I do understand. I was talking to a guy and I said do you know the term astroturf and he said no. I said well I dont know its hard to explain this then. He goes on about how he has done enough by raising his children. Which hey great thing to do, but that doesn’t qualify you to speak about geopolitics. He thinks somehow because he has a mid level management position in the world that he “knows somethin about how the world really works”

You mean that's not a qualification for speaking about geopolitics?

Where's your comment there? I tried searching for your alias to no avail.

Or did they delete it?

I didn't comment in that post, but in multiple prior posts of his on Ukraine. He writes about it at least every week or two.

Kiril Dmitriev looks like Germans from Saxony or Brandenburg.

Trump wants cheap oil so he needs Russia and the Middle East to pump and sell. Saudi Arabia and OPEC which made a fuss with Biden have suddenly decided to produce a lot more oil, crashing the price !

Rare earths are not that rare but China produces 70% of them and refines 90% of them. Burma/Myanmar, an ally of China, produces another 10% with Chinese help. The Chinese sell the rare earths cheaply in order to make production outside of China unprofitable. Australia and the USA have developed mines and clean-ish refining facilities but most industrial companies want subsidies in order to purchase more expensive non-Chinese materials. Russia might be part of the push to diversify rare earths out of China : Australian or Canadian or Japanese mining and refining technology for guaranteed deliveries to the West.

Rare minerals go beyond rare earths. They include elements like gallium, germanium, indium, scandium which are mostly produced in Russia. Russia is also the main producer noble gases such as argon or krypton. China is the other big producer or refiner of these. The agreement between Russia and the USA should ensure the supply of these to the Western-aligned countries.

Thus Trump prepares for a confrontation with China.

I believe I'm starting to suss out another angle to this great culling of Slavs: The U.S. commanded its European vassal states to get behind all sanctions imposed on Russia and to sever as many business ties between the two as was feasible. Even as relations were set to thaw between the U.S. and Russia the EU was ordered to hold strong and never capitulate, however much such a hardline is to their detriment. This is designed to further erode the economic and social stability of the individual EU countries, plunging its native white citizenry into ever deepening poverty and despair. This has the effect of demoralizing them completely so as to exhaust any semblance of fight they may have in them as regards their "new countrymen" spilling out from the bubbling cauldron of shit-brown human detritus which have been artificially propagated by decades of emergency food and medical interventions over the past 80 years expressly for this purpose.

It's easy to regard our situation as hopeless. The importation of these bi-pedal bioweapons into all of our formally majority white nations will not cease and desist any time soon, no matter what claptrap the so-called nationalist right-wing bootlickers continue to spew out at their pathetic little conferences and rallies. This fight isn't over. It hasn't even begun in earnest. The teeming mass of shit stain jibber-jabberers do not pose a threat to us, not when the time for talking the talk has ended and the time for walking the walk gets underway for real. We white folks can be outnumbered 10 to 1 in an all-out, kinetic engagement with the invaders. They will still fall before us. We're simply a superior warrior class, all around. We adapt, improvise, and overcome. They simply rush into the fray, spray their bullets all over the place, and beat a hasty retreat in the face of organized resistance. They can't organize like we do. They can't plan like we do. They can't maintain operational discipline like we do. They are man-children, one and all. Their biological mandate is to be prodigious sperm donors until they become jungle prey at age 25. That's it. Just take a look at what they do once they arrive on your shores. They shuffle around and loiter with absolutely no ambition nor purpose. Were they not subsidized by our evil social scientist overlords they wouldn't last a full season without getting themselves locked up or killed. They pose no threat to us. Our evil social scientist overlords do. They are the ones we need to start identifying and paying visits to in the small, quiet hours of the night.

This reads like the fever dream of a twenty five year old man child.

Most whites around here can't even organize a roofing crew or are supervising the Mexicans doing the roofing for other whites who can't properly use a hammer let alone a gun. Your Grand Army of Organized White Resistance is fantasy.

Joshua Allen Michael's avatar

Oh boy.

Obviously most whites you are coming into contact with are about as low quality as the shitlets they will be contending with when the balloon goes up. That is the product of a concerted dysgenics program being owned and operated by our esteemed Jewish benefactors. There is plenty of evidence out there to provide the proof should you care to investigate the matter yourself. I'm not talking about the 90% of fat, torpid sportsball enthusiasts. They will perish in The Mega Pit. I'm talking about those left among us who still possess the stones to do what needs to be done.

I implore you, sir, do not drag this comment section down into the dregs of hysterical and feminine emoting the likes of which is best left to sites like Unz. We are Stalkers, here. We are made of better stuff than, "Nu-uh!" or "No way, Jose!"

Troy  Skaggs's avatar

I've been through it. The idea that some type of organized White cohesion will present itself under the right conditions, like hothouse orchids. Online pontification ad nauseum with little real world reflection or application.

Unz is a tabloid, a pen for dissent as Substack may likely become.

I'm not trying to make ad hominem statements, simply stating my observations concerning the idea that proletarian whites have ever offered any resistance to their status as demographic pawns, much like the oft maligned brown, black, or yellow hordes so often mentioned by those predicting imaginary global race wars.

Joshua Allen Michael's avatar

If I understand you correctly, then I agree that online pontification is a woefully inadequate real world response to the litany of real world problems we face. Until such a time as the stores run out of food and booze this is what will suffice. Myself, I'd like things to get a little more "lively" before too long, but that's because I'm pushing 50 and all my youthful ideals have turned black and fallen off at the base. I have nothing particularly promising to look forward to on my end, so, why not. But I am under no illusion that organized white cohesion is either imminent nor very likely to be within my lifetime. All around the world we plebians are a defeated and desiccated lot. The Masters Of the Universe have bred us to their desired specifications and you are right, at the moment we don't pose much of a threat to their machinations. But we ought to, and quite possibly, we can, but only if there exist enough of us to preach to the faithless among us and extoll the virtues of our past accomplishments, when we did act as a cohesive in group. I see no purpose in wallowing in abject dejection. What harm will a little pep rallying do? If it sparks even the tiniest flame of mustering the will to endeavor to persevere in the heart of even one lonely white soul out there in the hinterlands of this unfortunate digital meeting place, then I won't consider my efforts to have been a total waste of time.

As to those oft maligned non-whites: they seem to be doing just fine despite all the acrimony directed toward them by the ever dwindling cadre of us proud white folk. None of the more cerebrally inclined among us wish them any ill-will at all, I can assure you of that. We simply want to once again enjoy the right of free association with our own kind. To each their own, as it has been for tens of thousands of years, so let it be anon. If only the wishes of the common folk were ever advanced and protected by something akin to Thomas Jefferson's "natural aristocracy" then we might have settled these matters without having to resort to the level of butchery which is now baked into the cake, unfortunately.

Thank you for the civil discourse. I do not doubt for a moment the sincerity of your convictions.

Troy  Skaggs's avatar

Very well stated. I'm no enemy to white cohesion, especially white identity in the face of the ridiculous levels of anti white rhetoric that exists. Like so many of the items baked into the cake, I think that the idea of organized White resistance is a PSYOP at this point. It seems like a demographic boot to the face anymore. I'm not trying to be friends with my Mexican or Black neighbors in this very, very mixed neighborhood, but a little respect towards people in a similar economic situation can be enlightening.

" , very mixed neighborhood, but a little respect towards people in a similar economic situation can be enlightening. "

But is the respect reciprocal, or do you just keep your head down to avoid contact ?

Deplorable Commissar's avatar

You're missing the point. Whites wont organize out of choice, they will organize out of necessity as if they dont the horrors of South Africa will look like child's play in comparison to what's awaiting Europe and possibly other places. If they dont, they will be wiped out from history.

One thinks of Catch-22 and Milo Minderbinder, who played all sides. I never quite understood the character at the time of reading many moons ago, but I think I might be beginning to now…

I can’t decide whether Rurik’s sarcastic or serious articles are better. Today’s had a good mix of both. In general this group is too pessimistic about Patriot Putin.

Putin rides horses while wearing no shirt. Putin plays ice hockey and scores 25 goals against Russian National team. He has already beaten Gretzky’s goal record, leaving Patriot Ovechkin struggling in third place. Putin has made a great mineral deal in Ukraine because he has already mined all the rare hardbonium, leaving only the scraps of analium for the GAE.

So to synthesise this with much of your other writing, Littlehatgrad/Moscow never did give a damn about what happens in Novorussiyan gangsterland (War #1) and never will. ?

idk what the actual plan for donbass is now. istanbul showed that even in 2022 putin was trying to just get it some more regional autonomy granted so that kiev couldnt prosecute the oligarch clans there who have close dealing with moscow.

now though?

idk putin says that he still wants istanbul ie returning donbass to ukraine. hard to believe that this is possible, but maybe he can still keep donbass in ukraine somehow while also partially in russia. anything is possible really. there are no rules to this stuff. anything goes.

Gilgamech's avatar

Or maybe the Russocide in the gangsterlands that they never gave a shit about should be called War #0.

Mazel tov, goyim, rejoice! So is this Dmitrievstein the new heir apparent to Putin these days?

The following Substack post by Jacob Nordangard is an interesting take on the sudden emergence of rare earth mining projects.

It makes sense as both countries will be filled with groids soon either way.
