Sounds like Western Oligarchical Empire made major inroads into Russia. Just like everywhere else in the West, the interests of elites have utterly diverged from from the interest of the people. All avenues toward even minimal systemic reform are being shut and the system increasingly relies on propaganda and coercive elements of the state (spying, police, military) to keep peasants in check. Mass immigration is being used to undermine the very fiber of societies. Traditional national sovereignty is being transferred to supra-national entities. It looks to me the same forces are at work in Russia as in all imperial vassal states. Empires advance through flipping the criminal oligarchy. Oligarchs have more in common with their criminal brothers than with the peasants in their particular countries. At some point oligarchies flip because they see greater future within the imperial vassal co-op.
None of this affects Russian Old Believers because they are trans-national. Even if Russia stopped all Asian immigration, Russians would still disappear due to birth rate. Except for Old Believers in Alaska and other places around the world. They along with other trans-national Christian religious groups like Mennonites are the only whites that are growing and have a future.
"Why does one part of the government criticize migrants, while the other brings them in?... Is there a mechanism for accountability for decisions that lead to failures? Who will be accountable and to whom? And why does responsibility always give way to some other consideration?"
There's a reason it's called a "global agenda" and why all leaders of nation-states are acting as mere managers to a much larger dictum encompassing the entire planet. An example of this is the scamdemic and how every country followed similar protocols and established a repressive biosecurity surveillance state.
In the specific case of Russia, protracting the "Ukraine mess" serves the interests of the Global Empire. Especially, since the SMO was kind enough not to destroy key Ukrainian infrastructure. And let's not forget Russian energy companies were more than happy to send oil to Zelensky. And think of how gleeful Xi and Modi are about securing a ton of cheap oil from Russia, financial decisions which ultimately help to restructure the global economic system sustaining the Empire.
The international financier bankster gangsters say: thank you, but that doesn't mean Russia will get a bigger piece of the One World Governance/multipolar pie.
Great post. Re: Moon of Alabama, that's a blogger I havn't seen referenced in quite awhile! I used to follow him at the start of the SMO; he was full on 5-D chess, breathless that Russia was going to crush Ukraine at every moment. A good and entertaining writer, but one who was completely unwilling to update his worldview in light of evidence. Maybe he's evolved since then, I havn't been there to see...
Also, not sure if it's been referenced here but someone linked me to a (deranged pro-Ukrainian) twitter account who posted a short clip of Strelkov's criticism of Prigozhin, where he pointed out that Prigozhin does have a krisha protecting him: https://twitter.com/gerashchenko_en/status/1658013890419064834
"turn on the TV and see for yourself. Russian media is, if not overtly hostile to Russians and the ideas of patriotism, nationalism, conservatism, etc. constantly promoting Western-style degeneracy. This is largely because the cousins of the people who run the entertainment industry in the West also run it in the Slavlands."
I was wondering how thoroughly the Jews controlled Russian media... apparently it's pretty extensive, which is very unfortunate.
Your description of the Russian "peasants," or just average Russian people, perfectly describes most Americans. Average people the world over appear to be very similar - they are easily influenced, have no backbone, and very little ability to think critically and independently for themselves. Big problem, especially when hostile ethnic groups who are hyper racially/ethnically conscious and who despise their hosts control the media and government. Equally problematic is the lack of authentic leadership willing to stand up to these hostile forces. Same problem in America.
Very nice juxtapositions, unfortunately. I especially appreciated your point that actions, decision and timing, must be coordinated to be effective. That's just competent management, which this government ought to be able to do given its denizens. But this is obviously not happening. Destroying the Dnieper bridges, as you and Russell discussed in your excellent interview, has to be done BEFORE the supplies get across and used against the Russians, not after.
But to paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, you go to war with the regime you have, not the one you wish you had.
Good piece Kid, sorry about your friends guinea pig, shit happens, they taste like chicken by the way. Guinea pigs that is, I don't know what ethernet cables taste like, you'd have to ask the pig. Keep hammering at them with the truth, one thing I've noticed with one aspect of the truth, as soon as you speak it someone shows up with a big ol club that has "racist" written on it and will try to beat you with it, seems the truth and racist come in pairs, maybe at times the truth is racist. The problems you expose with Russia appears to me to be a global phenomenon, indicative to every country's government.
hmmm. well that's a bit of a shock. mostly pretty unintelligible. what I did get out of it I wasn't at all convinced by. what gets me is just how chaotic, garbled, unintelligible it was. It was only a short while ago that I discovered Rolo and it wasn't long before I was posting to him saying I was impressed by his ability to put his point of view. I was saying that he writes well.
But I don't see the above as good writing at all.
Are there two Rolo's maybe? Or he has good days and bad days? Or he's conflicted or something?
Great post ..... but missing the one thing that people need to start saying. Just saw Putin's latest approval ratings - OK they are probably massaged - but they are still at just over 80%. Why is this? Simply because no one is prepared to point finger where it should be - at Putin and his cronies. So it's all very well for Rolo to keep crapping on the stupidity of the peasants - its not their fault when no one is prepared to tell them where the real problem lies, and all they get is the pap served up by Putin & cronies via TV. I know patriotic people in Russia may face assassination, but until they start speaking up and acting nothing will change - and if they all or most start speaking up, it won't be possible to murder them all. It was the same with the USSR - everyone, despite seeing what Gorbachev was doing, was too scared to speak up or do anything until it was too late and too half hearted to change anything.

Love this format of two answers. Thanks.
Summary: Putin is the most competent traitor or the most incompetent leader in history, I see no third way.
Excellent analysis.

But to paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, you go to war with the regime you have, not the one you wish you had.
And the reason why Rolo is right - because there is no "ukraine".
We are killing each other again for no good reason...
for vicky nuland and her bund...
https://miguel-kud.livejournal.com/335580.html Rolo, what do you think of this article? It is so dark it could have been written by Nikola Mikovic. Please read.

dayum! if i had any money to give you, i would immediately.
based beyond belief. saying what no one is willing to say out loud.
best of luck. the hounds will be braying at your heels from now on.
