November 11, 2022 at 8:26 pm #120783AfewknowthetruthParticipantAs I understand it, human life has value in Russia, whereas in NATOstan nations it has no value. In NATOstan nations people are simply units of consumption, to be managed in such a way they increase consumption of energy and resources.
It’s the money system.
More waste = Ponzi scheme perpetuated a little longer.

Definately worth pondering that sculpture; it nearly defies reality…

Amazing, how is that even possible?
November 12, 2022 at 2:01 am #120795VietnamVetParticipantNow that the mid-term elections are over and Taiwan is shown to be essential for the production of IT goods in order for western corporations to continue to make profits, the question becomes is this WWI; all over again, or not?
The Western Elite are greedy, incredibly ignorant, plus arrogant. But clarity has been gained by the Kremlin’s starkly stupid invasion of Ukraine which almost matches the Imperial Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. Isoroku Yamamoto, who planned the attack reportedly wrote in his diary, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.” Yes, the Kremlin was provoked but every single neo-liberal corporate/state empire to date, ignores reality, the truth, and relies on full-blown propaganda and surveillance to make the rich richer.
The continued existence of German industry is at stake. A global nuclear war will kill everyone but most importantly a bomb shelter in New Zealand is not a long-term survival bet. To stay alive, I’m hoping that the armistice that UK PM Boris Johnson scuttled in April is back on table. A cease-fire and a DMZ on the East Bank of the Dnieper River would bring peace to Europe.
Basically, are the global high caste wealthy bright enough to realize that this is a multi-polar world again? North America living within its means is better than a blackened irradiated earth.
November 12, 2022 at 2:29 am #120800AfewknowthetruthParticipant‘ the question becomes is this WWI; all over again, or not?’
No. WW1 all over again was the failed attempt to take back Iran, in which the US sponsored its ally Iraq -yes Saddam Hussein- carried out the proxy war on behalf of the fascists. Trench warfare, chemical attacks, gas attacks…..hundreds of thousands killed and maimed. 1 million Iranians died defending their country from the fascist, I believe.
The problem was, the Iranians had deposed the US-UK-installed puppet Palavi in 1979 and were managing their own affairs quite nicely. That was against ‘the rules’ of ‘the rules based’ based system.
‘Basically, are the global high caste wealthy bright enough to realize that this is a multi-polar world again?’
I think you will find that it is a bipolar world: NATOstan nations (12%) versus the rest (88%). Prior to Russia and the BRICs nations strongly resisting NATOstan hegemony , it was virtually a monopolar world.
I personally do not like the term global high caste. I prefer to describe them as fascistic psychotic sociopaths.
The Scorpion is certainly not ‘high cast’ and is simply a sick-minded opportunist, prepared to betray everything and everyone for power and money.

The news/encouragement that the USA wanted to hear.
Ukrainian troops take city of KhersonWith this move, Russia has convinced the USA to send more money/resources and you will get positive result from Uke war.
Russia has just unloaded an expensive white elephant on Uke/USA that is within range of their artillery with no fortifications.

History Lesson: Russia RETREATED East of MOSCOW for Napoleon. Napoleon had the entire empty city of Moscow for his leisure. It was sacked freely, Russia gave no defense. Yay Leon! Did they lose then? How was Napoleon doing? Do they speak French in St. Petersburg now?
Excellent comment because it teaches us that the only thing that counts is who is victorious in the end. The Russians appear to be very analytical, very purposeful in their actions and confident enough in themselves to retreat. The west would never deliberately retreat, the MSM news headlines would be a nightmare and the western politicians would be having kittens trying to produce excuses and next steps and demanding more from the military. Their insecurity over one day of bad news would be on show for all to see. The west is always chasing the next headline and therefore is compromised whenever bad news hits the headlines. Assuming that a retreat means that Russia is losing is the same mistake made by all the leaders mentioned by Dr D in the article. Don’t judge Russia as being the same beast as the west.
November 12, 2022 at 11:13 am #120821RedneckParticipant” unless you BELIEVED what reporters, the news media said. They said it? Russian news, which is known to be the most Western infiltrated or influenced of any body in Russia? And you took what they said seriously? How’s this: “They said it, therefore it is a lie.” That better?’
So you are saying that all Russian media is directly controlled by the West? Which agency or government or corporation and how? Can you explain how for example the state run tv network is controlled by the West please?

Not my words mate , that is the dude who calls himself Edward Slavsquat.from his blog. and I don’t agree. I watch this dude because he lives in Russia and has a lot of Russian media translations on his blog. He is American so you will hate him.I gave the link to the complete article.
The kids were jetty jumping to day and the wharf hotel was going off with hoons doing burnouts all afternoon. The cops are too scared to come down and book them ,LOL. All is well with the world.
November 12, 2022 at 11:33 am #120823RedneckParticipantMethinks that Dr. D and other Russia lovers do protest too much!
November 14, 2022 at 4:39 am #120959TonyPrepParticipantAnything Russia does must be good and so if they seem to be doing something bad, there must be a reason. Putin is absolutely fantastic and the smartest leader in the world (perhaps that’s why he rushed to be the first to approve a COVID-19 vaccine) so if he cedes a city, no matter how strategically important, it must translate into a good tactical move. That seems to be the thinking here.
It’s just possible that destroying civilian infrastructure is a morally bankrupt idea. It’s just possible that rushing through referendums to pretend that the residents (or those left but only those in occupied areas of the regions) want to be part of Russia is a morally bankrupt idea. It’s just possible that looting towns and cities that it has had to retreat from is a morally bankrupt idea. But maybe such reports are all made up, because it’s inconceivable that Putin could do anything evil. Still, this is a war, not a special military operation, so anything goes, right? Any other country trying to annex another country may well do the same so that possibility make Putin’s actions defensible.
