Interesting thoughts. Unfortunately I lack the expertise to understand many of the points made, let alone have an opinion on them. I agree, though, that the "denazification and demilitarization" is drivel of the same sort as the USan "war on terror". Putin has not been telling the truth. But I do not know if politicians are there to tell the truth.

One think I can say about Belarus: it is not a self-sufficient economy. It is vastly, enormously subsidized by Russia. Luka laughs at Putin whilst extending a hand to take the money this gives him.

While I agree nationalism is the future, I disagree on ideology. Liberalism is an ideology and all it does is consolidate power. To argue against ideology sound reminiscent of blaming religion for lack of “progress”. In fact the constant Russian babble of truth being on our side doesn’t seem to be doing anything. While Ukraine is doing great, thanks to their delusions, their nationalism is going to lead no where good. Americans lost their nationalism overnight to liberalism.

Charles, it is just a matter of fact that the current Ukrainian leadership is heavily Jewish. There may or may not be a connection between ethnicity and there politics, but it would be another question. I'm just trying to clarify for you what Rolo means when he points out to this fact.

It is hard for us in the USA to understand a war fought on the other side of the globe, especially when both sides censor the news. I am curious why you identify the leaders of Ukraine as "the Jews". Can you explain?

The problem with so called Russian patriots is that they hate Jews much more than they love their country. Neocons are Jews. Right! Keep living in your fantasy world until the real powers destroy your country.

Excellent as always Rolo.

Did you catch Elena Panina's excellent 'time is catastrophically short' op-ed at Russtrat a week ago? The key quote is "the announcement of full mobilization in Russia is equal to a revolution" and she goes on to argue along similar lines that mobilizing the country will inevitable mean moving to a new economic model which will break to old 'deal' VVP made with the oligarchs (key resources and industries will need to be nationalized).

IMO the time for compromise is over. Russia needs and will get a war leader and will be fully mobilized, the only question is whether Vladimirovich starts the revolution or is buried under it. Both are possible of course.
