In regards to Lukashencko the usual 5D retards werent just wrong they were outright making demands that would have been terrible for Russia in retrospect. I remember both Orlov and Saker were raging that Lukashencko needed to be replaced by someone acceptable to the Kremlin. Well seeing as how Peskov, Nabiullina and Shoigu are Putin appointees just imagine if someone like that was running Belarus now. Imo Putin ought to just go ahead and say he is firing the entire upper level federal management and bureaucracy and replace them with North Koreans for a year or 2. He can justify it by saying the Best Koreans will work for 4% the price of a Russian liberal so its totally justified on pragmatic free market Oligarchic principles.

>Peskov, Nabiullina and Shoigu

These are the masterminds running the war, apparently, lol.

Explains a lot if true.

Who else is on the Security Council?

Thank you so much Rolo for all you're teaching us, about Russia but also about other matters. Many of your posts are profound. They help me get a clearer picture, and better yet they give me tools to work by myself afterward. I also listen carefully to your podcast, which seems to me better when you are alone, even though I appreciate Edward and Riley--I also read both of them.

It's been quite a while that facts contrary to "feel good" beliefs are considered moronic.

Sounds like you're still stuck in the world that Orwell described in 1984

Pepe Escobar is definitely obsessed with Eurasian integration. Although some of those central Asian and Middle East states are slightly pozzed from US money, judging by their UN votes I don't think they're nearly as willing to sellout for the US and commit suicide like Europe is. They wouldn't so easily sell out and kill their own infrastructure projects like Germany did.

They're all doing the Green Energy thing and causing huge price spikes on their populations.

They've made massive wahmen quotas in Kazakhstan in companies and government and party positions.

Tokayev clearly some kind of hermaphrodite or just a weirdo pervert.
