It's been quite a wild ride, Rolo. I remember the initial optimism which began to shift as time and territory moved. Russia as a nationalist bastion was so appealing and while the people have much to commend about themselves and culture, you and Riley have really driven home how captured we all are. Russia's actions are just as fake and gay as NAFO's. So far you've been wrong about the strength, or perhaps effectiveness, of the UAF counter-offensive but the summer is still young and honestly no one really knows WTF is going on along the battlefront. You were definitely right about Zaporizhe being a push area. Keep pushing the truth and your solid analysis. You still owe us some conspiracy theory posts and talk of Agarthe.
I just listened to the debate with Aussie Cossack. My jaw practically dropped to the floor, I could hardly believe what I was hearing. He all but admitted that he didn't give a rat's ass about telling the truth, and that he only cares about parroting Russian Government propaganda. He absolutely verified everything you've been saying about him and all his 5D friends.
I see you've swapped out meditating with yacht sailing as a hobby, smart move, meditating is so much cheaper, you can go back to yacht sailing when you get your second thousand.
Did you make this for me Rollo or all those who joined after Corbett? Just listening to your Rumble interview with Aussie Cossack I hope that brings you even more followers.
Well done man I'm 1hr 30min in and so far so civilized and hope it stays that way. I feel like this Slav on Slav Not-War is very simliar to the troubles on the British Isles and that with Ireland. Practically the same people turned against one another still to this day especially in N Ireland where the situation has been painted on sectarian lines. Side note, a lot of the leaders in the Republican movement were actually Protestant but you wouldn't know that today. Whether you're for separation of Ireland from the Empire or against the land grab in the North. A similar sentiment to those days we see with Welsh and Scottish thanks to Blair and Braveheart and weirdest thing is the sold called Nationalist parties like Sinn Fienn and the SNP are actually Suprantionalist and wholely for the EU and just xenophobes. It is always divide and conquer. The Member states of the EU will always be divided and that allows the beuroctats to get fat in the centre.
If Russia succeeds in Ukraine given the difference that can be heard in accent will full assimilation be possible of those people unless strong active measures are taken? I fear in the bits that are part of the Russian Federation by allowing those people to freely travel allows for something equivalent to the IRA to wreck havoc on the rest of the Federation funded by the West and we're already seeing it to some degree now. The thing that stopped the IRA wasn't the Good Friday Agreement it was because after 9/11 the US stopped funding it and the money went to the "war on terror".
I hope your prediction for all out civil war is wrong because it's people have been through enough. I totally see your logic though. I think if your currently based out of Russia when you talk to so many people in Russia too many would die to prevent a situation like the 90s it's too fresh in their memories. However, if it wiped the slate clean and bought in leaders who did care about its people who knows there could be a positive outcome there in the end. But again the West has a habit in trying to control these things and they want Russia broken up. Divide and conquer so it's natural resources can be sold to them at bargain basement prices.

Thank you, Rolo. What this blog offers is so original and insightful that I love Russia and the Russian people even more (because I am Bulgarian and all bulgarians love Russia with the exception of our disgusting nazi government who wants to send us to Ukraine to be killed for Blackrock interests). What the system fears most is an honest man. Always has been, always will be.

Bravo!!
Even though I'm a troublemaker around here, I want you to know I enthusiastically agree with a lot of what you're saying. The "5D Bloggers" have a seriously warped pollyanna perspective about the Kremlin, and you're providing a badly needed alternative.
And there's so much that I haven't even read yet, much less understood! Thanks for all the links.
This is brilliant. A feast. A smorgasbord. A plethora. It is great.
But it is too much to put before the ignorant masses.
They'll never get beyond the introductory paragraphs.
These are the days of 'sound bites', of slogans, and catch phrases and memes.
If you can't see it clearly and read it easily in one glance at your cellphone you don't want to know.
So how about doing a special? Aimed at that audience?
And ask us all to spread it around? We can add the link to our every email. We can add to our blogs, our own web pages if we have them. We could even print out things and paste them up around town.
Have you thought of that last one? I did it myself in a small way in the middle of the covid thing.
This is what I did that I think you could do ten times better than me:
I collected up a couple of dozen of good links to great videos and web pages that laid out the facts of the Covid thing that hopefully would open the eyes and minds of readers/viewers.
Then I made QR codes for each of them. Then I used Word to lay out eight of those codes on a sheet of A4 paper and I printed it out. I gave them titles like 'Covid Facts' and 'Scan for Covid'.
And I pasted them up in malls, at the entrances where people were habitually scanning to prove their covid status and all that crap. At the town hall. At bus stops. Anywhere I thought of.
I don't know how effective my little campaign was. Probably not much at all. Probably useless.
But you get the idea. Better than nothing isn't it? If you prepared some good pages and made them available to us we could print them out and post them up wherever - and we could pass around the electronic versions for others to do the same.
That's like 'proactive', you know? Want to have a go?
Just wanting to know if your gonna have a chat with Morgoth, he'd be better to talk to about all this info regarding the reality in Russia than anyone else plus it'd would, , get more people to read and pay for your stuff, two, more people in England and amerkisland would also be aware of what's happening and three, with them being aware it would help them perceive how political affiliation and power actually functions here in the west.
I listened to the Aussie Cossack Video, and found it very slippery overall. I do commend you on insisting that the truth must be told regardless of impression. Otherwise, how the heck can anyone make correct decisions or fix problems?
AC would reduce his readers to a bunch of mindless cheerleaders, just as western propagandists do. That would produce a dystopian arena where public discourse would go on between brainwashed zombies. (who are all taking your side of course) That despicable recipe for madness is what made the western press what it is today (snark). In fact, AC's attitude makes an excellent counterexample in support of the principle of free speech. And your insistence on accurate reporting amounted to a commendable defense of why there needs to be a free press.
However, I was a bit disappointed in the tenor of the discussion. The debate followed a pattern of character denigration followed by support, rather than any objective analysis. I though he trapped you ingenuosly by forcing you into a position of having to defend Riley's character. You should have rather defended Riley's excellent reporting, rejected the character slurs, and demanded from AC to lay out where and what Riley had misreported. Instead there was too much name-calling, but that was mostly AC's fault.
Rurik - I am sure you have posted it somewhere but I can’t find it - is there a way to contact you directly? Happy to just post a comment but if there is a DM avenue would be grateful.

Love this introduction, Rolo! I'm sharing it a widely as I'm able, as I think it's the best introduction to your work yet. 💪🏻
Thanks Rolo! I've bene lurking in the archives slowly but surely.
But this is just bette han i could hope for. It will take me many days to parse through.
Thanks again

"But it will come at the cost of your optimism ...".
My optimism doesn't come cheap, at least $5 a month.
BTW, you've given us a bit to read this Saturday. Always good to catch up and have a rethink.
Did you make this for me Rollo or all those who joined after Corbett? Just listening to your Rumble interview with Aussie Cossack I hope that brings you even more followers.

Test.
Please don’t do the upgrade to Founder thing.
That got me dropping some other stacks today.
Bro where’s your book?!?
