This war has to be fought to the finish which means that Russia has a moral and spiritual obligation to the entire world to help get rid of this satanic scourge preying on the souls of humanity. Only Russia can do it, nobody else can or will.
This was very enlightening. First time I am learning of the island of Yeonpyeongdo and Kim Jong Il's success in aggressively responding to the military threat that is/was staged from this location by the Americans. Moral of the story is America loves beating up on nations that have no nuclear deterrence, but retreats in its shell when threatened nations show a willingness to go nuclear in response to American aggression.
The big elephant in the room is the people of the west. A vast mass of ignorant pawns. Uneducated, dumb., moronic, devoted to pleasure, hedonism, egocentric.
I think and wish there would be a major effort by everyone to reach and educated these people and do it in the simplest and most effective way. Simple irrefutable facts. Not long convoluted impassioned diatribes.
The simple facts are all to our benefit. Put them to the people. I've yet to see the Russian side: Russia and Donbas Ukraine and 'allies' in alt-media etc make any serious effort to reach this mass and educate them.
And of course the mass's leaders ignore them, simply automatically spewing propaganda lies all over them.
Yep. It's a fool's game arguing with them. You simply have to rise above them like an adult over a child or perhaps a teacher over dumb students.
Like the famous 'always give the adversary a way out' to avoid bottling them up to where it's all or nothing conflict they have to be given a chance to find out for themselves.
To shift their ground, their position, somewhere in private and prepare themselves to come out with this new position and justify it - often pretend they really had it all along.
And one good way of doing that is do what car salesmen, home salesmen, all salesmen always practice: always agree. Even if it doesn't make sense. Even if you contradict yourself straight afterwards.
And get your message in obliquely and never be frightened to words into their mouths that suit you but which perhaps they never uttered, or thoughts they never had.
Like maybe: 'Of course we should support Ukraine. God damn, yes. I've always said that, just like you, Bob. I love Ukraine and Ukrainians and I think it's a god damn shame and downright criminal that the USA came between them, split the nation in two and set one half on the other: nothing destroys a nation quicker than that! '
And then peel off. Disappear. Be not available for any further discussion. Leave that thought festering in their brains (?).
Or like this maybe: "Goddamn right we need to support Ukraine. Nobody seems to realise there's 10 million Ukrainian under attack right now ! Have been for 10 years ! Invaded by a vicious enemy ! 10 million ! Who is going to help them ? Invaded, occupied, civilians shelled and slaughtered in the streets ! We need a national movement to help the Donbas Ukrainians as soon a possible, don't we?'
And peel off.
Stuff like that. I'm sure you can think of better examples.
I reckon simple statements of the simplest things are very powerful if allowed to make their way into their heads.
Like: ALL the fighting takes place on land that was occupied 10 years ago. By Kiev Ukraine, doing the will of the USA.
There is NO invasion of Kiev Ukraine by anyone.
The only 'invaders' in Ukraine today, as for ten years, are the Kiev USA dupe Ukrainians who've invaded the Donbas.
The Donbas is not invaded by Russia. If it were invaded it would not have its own government and would not be Federated with the Russian Federation.
The Ukrainians of the Donbas did not fight alone for eight years against Kiev because Kiev was trying to help them.
The Donbas Ukrainians did not invite Russia to help and then fight side by side with them because they feel 'invaded' by them.
Support for Ukraine has disappeared entirely in my quarter of the USA and largely in the online community. We aren't buying the zionist neocon warmonger BS anymore! All their lies have been exposed. Americans are sick & tired of funding this criminal action and massive money laundering operation when we have so many very serious problems here at home! Also disgusted and ashamed over Genocide in Gaza! Putin is more popular than Biden in the USA! And many Christians have more respect for Russia than our own perverted Gov't these days! Zionists are evil & insane! God Bless Russia & Free Palestine!
It seems to me that willingness to fight is more of a deterrent to aggression than are nuclear bombs. Having only nuclear bombs restricts one's ability to fight because their radiological blowback is soon in one's own yard, not to mention the enemy's use of the same, visiting even more radiological poison directly into one's home. Such calculations, it seems to me, participated in Russia's decision to engineer nuclear-level might delivered without radiological follow-ons.
Oreshnik et al. expand Russia's ability -- and therefore willingness -- to fight. In this way they ramp up Russia's might (deterrence factor) more than nukes alone do or can do.
Nukes in fact, are not -- on their own -- a reliable deterrent to enemy aggression. Especially is this so in the case of self-certified fanatics, such as Zionists Jewish or nominally Christian. Unpredictable, undetectable conventional visitations of unimaginable might, against which one has no defense, from which one has no refuge, are a reliable deterrent even when presented to the face of fanatics.
Ego is the last constituent of human personality willing to throw in the towel and go for broke (suicide) in order to (ironically) preserve itself. One thinks of Sebastian Gorka and Victoria Nuland in this regard.
I believe our host touches upon this phenomenology with elegance. Meta-message: materials engineering and -- less obviously but of equal benefit for one and all -- imprinting the thought of God on the mind is the game afoot.
Excellent! What is to be done then with Moldova? I see the Romanians have done the unexpected and elected a suppossed "Far Right" government that wants peace, not involvement with Ukraine. What affect will that have? The plates on the poles continue to gyrate, which will fall first?
Even as far back as 2001 when I spent several months working in HQ 8th Army, Seoul, it was evident that increasing numbers of S Koreans wanted a reconciliation, if not reunification, with the North. What will happen when the Russian pipeline for LNG and Oil is completed in the North and then Russia offers to extend it to the South providing cheap unlimited energy to South Korea in exchange for throwing the Yankees out? CIA NGO color revolution time again?
There are UKraine flags everywhere still. Some newly hung after the old ones t a t t e r e d
There is an ukrainian restaurant that uses the fascist svoboda mask as their symbol, Belden alley SF.
Outside the city I spoke last year with a ukrainian who lived in walnut Creek, he said he'd had two houses in Ukraine he'd managed (to earn thru his totally legal activity, he'd implied....) in towns he'd had to abandon when the war started..
Folks from Ukraine are gonna take over the US government and make this failed state a failed ruination as Americans did to theirs.
I wonder when or if the folks in Ukraine will turn backs on Russia to face the Arrogant Aggressive West I am ashamed to say has an huge ego problem with nukes to back it up....
If folks still in Ukraine decided that the West is the real criminal, they also will see as many do,
Only Russia can save Ukraine, now Little Russia.
They can speak to Saint Medvedev or Saint Putin , my dad Vlad is allright by me.
Very insightful comparison. The only difference I see between the DPRK and Russia scenario is that I think the Ukraine is merely a symptom of an existential clash. No side can actually afford to lose, but for different reasons.
For Russia it is existential in the sense of nation state, and the US / EU has even provided maps of what a post-Russia would look like, with 16 'countries', each I guess with its Washington-appointed Governor. For the US, I think it is existential insofar as US hegemony is paid for through the dollar being the world's currency, and it has used that primacy to own all the institutions (IMF, World Bank, BIS, UN General Assembly when needed, and so on).
Defeating Russia is to defeat the only serious military challenger to NATO, whereas a defeat BY Russia will embolden the Global Majority to throw off the neo-colonial chains, trade in their own currencies, and follow a sovereign path. And when no one needs the dollar, all those greenbacks flood back home, crashing an economy bloated with debt.
I think one of the key conclusions to draw from the US / NATO attitude is to go straight to nuclear capability. Clandestinely, of course, but when you've got it sorted trumpet it to the world, and Washington in particular.
Libya had a nascent program, but was persuaded to give it up. And what happened after that...?
Georgia and Salome Zourabichvili. Well, Salome is a French-born, CIA-groomed comprador from a family of secret services operative. There should be no expectations of honorable behavior from this vile woman... Salome is a Georgian version of Nuland-Kagan.
I lived in South Korea for many years and speak the language fluently. Much of what you write about the US presence is fantasy. You may want these things to be true, but as a journalist, please research properly.
Many Koreans, of course, are unhappy about having thousands of US soldiers based in their country, but public opinion surveys all essentially show the same result: the majority of South Koreans support their country's alliance with the US.
south korea is another vassal of the usa...too bad they are incapable of seeing how they have been used and abused for such a long time.. so let them continue to support their countries alliance with the usa and continue to witness the fringe benefits..
The South Koreans know that they are dependent on American military power. That doesn't really contradict anything that Marat said. What did he say that was factually incorrect? He never said that the South Koreans want the Americans out.
This war has to be fought to the finish which means that Russia has a moral and spiritual obligation to the entire world to help get rid of this satanic scourge preying on the souls of humanity. Only Russia can do it, nobody else can or will.
Excellent article 👍🏿
Yeonpyeongdo incident has been well hidden by the US. No one remembers it. A defeat in Ukraine can't be hidden as easily.

They deserve attention.
I live in the Midwest and I've been trying to educate everybody that I can, but I refuse to argue with idiots.
