First, a little bit of context. Igor “Strelkov” Girkin has become the favorite punching bag of Kremlin-backed pundits and TV personalities and this trend appears to be accelerating. If, at first, they ignored Strelkov in the aftermath of the first and anti-climatic phase of the Donbass conflict, they began making fun of him when he started sounding the alarm in the early days of the war. Then, the disasters on the front caused them to start lashing out at him directly and by name. Now they’re straight-up starting to threaten him because they’re losing control of the narrative and outrage is building up in Russian society. And by “they” I mean several personalities, but for a Westerner, I suppose the most identifiable and familiar Strelkov-hater would have to be Vladimir Soloviev who likes to accuse Strelkov of anti-semitism and, soon, I suppose of being a Fascist as well.
If you haven’t figured out what ethnicity this squat little hobgoblin belongs to, let’s just say that, “his father was a lawyer” as the Russians themselves do when it comes to talking about the apple of G-d’s eye.
Point being, just like Rolo has beef with half the blogosphere, Strelkov also has beef with the entire ruling coalition of Russia. And the heated rhetoric is escalating on both sides.
The latest Strelkov salvo:
Political scientist Sergei Markov in his telegram channel in a separate post urged me to restraint and stop "criticism of the supreme commander." Expressing, at the same time, the hope that my "talents will be used not only as a theoretician."
Sergei Alexandrovich is far from the first who (publicly and privately) draws my attention to the fact that Putin should not, in conditions of war, share responsibility for the events taking place with his (he appointed) subordinates. And, accordingly, they should not be criticized for their countless military and economic failures either.
However, I have valid objections:
- 300 billion dollars of Russian reserves after the start of the NWO were arrested abroad. The head of the Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina, who was responsible for the placement, remains in her place to this day (in China, for example, she would have already been shot);
That’s Strelkov’s way of saying that the “Russian” Janet Yellen should be shot, if you didn’t catch the subtlety of the implication.
Nabiullina is a textbook GloboCorpoShlomo creature that continues to push neoliberal policies on Russia as well as enacting harsh austerity measures to create artificial credit crunches. First-time home ownership far more difficult in Russia than in America because interest rates stood at a staggering 12% on average for an ipoteka for many years. Although, thanks to Biden’s Regime, there has also been an interest hike in America. Still, its nowhere near as bad as in Russia.
As a result of her hobbling the economy and letting billions of roubles worth of Russian assets be confiscated by the West, Nabiullina is universally praised in Western media. Despite almost certainly being anti-SMO, she sits on the Security Council tasked with, in theory anyways, running the SMO.
Also, the Liberal media likes to stress that she’s a POC of sorts because she’s “ethnically Tartar” as if such a thing even exists. This is beyond the pale even by the standards of a Liberal Media that maintains the lie that Elizabeth Warren is an Indian chief that goes by the name of Squatting-Cunt.
First of all, there is no such thing as “Tartar” or “Turkish” DNA.
Second of all, Russian Tartars are virtually indistinguishable from Russians.
It’s the Islam thing and the way that they deliberately set themselves apart from the Russian people that really sets them apart, not some phantom DNA reason. The Tartar fake identity LARP is pretty much identical to the Ukrainian psy-op and fostered with the same purpose in mind.
Back to Strelkov’s list:
