Italy can't hear criminal cases in court for a while because they spent the money to pay the judges on Ukraine. It's hard to write the with a straight face. What a joke. But wait! There's more!

anthony Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Up there with the most immoral actions in this war, was Boris Johnson discouraging Yelensky from negotiation with Russia in Istanbul, way back in March/April. His meddling in a (non - Nato) country's government amounted to blackmail: If you petition for peace you'll get no more money and arms, he has been quoted as saying, roughly. Why - because he believed Russia would be beaten by supposedly superior Ukraine forces - advantaging the West's agenda (following and tricked by the Russian withdrawal from Kyiv, turned into "a victory" by the msm). It seems from other reports Russia was genuinely prepared to negotiate, to avoid further conflict, expecting no greater concessions than was already agreed by Minsk, with the "security guarantees": a neutral Ukraine. I trust Johnson's personal responsibility for the subsequent sacrifices of lives that could have been averted, will be remembered.

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted September 1, 2022 Author Share Posted September 1, 2022 Turley nails it. Turley hammers at the beginning of this video that all countries need food, fuel and finance to operate. Food, fuel and finance. Of the three, finance is the weakest because you can't eat it and you can't use it for energy to make things run. The way the Ukraine invasion was responded to by the West, they focused on finance only. Putin focused on food and fuel. The West threw Putin out of SWIFT, i.e., finance (while, like dorks, the West still kept buying Russian fuel), whereas Putin kept his focus on food and fuel. Now people need fuel and he's turning off the valves. People need food and there is no fertilizer. On and on it goes. Money was not enough for Ukraine to win. Guns are not enough. Any army needs food and fuel, too. Money was not enough for the West to help Ukraine beat Russia, not when it was getting a good part of its own food and fuel from Russia in that crazy interconnected mess globalism has made. Well, without food and fuel, the West is learning the value of finance only. Good job, predator class. I can't wait until Trump gets back in power and straightens this mess out. It's a big one this go around, maybe bigger than Trump's abilities to handle, but so far, I think he's up to the task. He knows about things like food and fuel. He knows about finance. And he knows about leverage. With that alone, he dwarfs that cabal of our "betters" who are currently running the world like a demolition derby while setting fire to the grandstands.

Michael MSK, I've always had the greatest respect for Hanson. That's how to take apart the fake news - dry mockery. Is one expected to really believe THIS happened? ("Don't examine a folly, ask only what it accomplishes.") When even the fakers believe their own fakery, here's a sample of the concocted narrative, or - how Putin deliberately set out destroying the world, by a once esteemed British writer in The Telegraph. Anyone would think, reading most journalists and any politician, it is Russia to blame for imposing sanctions on every other country. Excuse me. But I'm quite sure all our global woes were self-inflicted (like Smollet's), the blowback from collective measures directed AT punishing Russia... Answer: we must redouble our "moral" efforts, tighten our belts more... "Putin's shock win could destroy the free world". By Allister Heath. "Britain is now in grave danger of falling into Vladimir Putin’s trap. His kamikaze economic war on the West will eventually take down his disgusting coterie of war criminals, but in the meantime it is beginning to inflict immense, permanent damage on the Western way of life, to the great delight of Moscow’s siloviki hard men. We risk ending up with calamitous poverty, civil disobedience, a new socialist government by next year, a break-up of the UK, nationalisations, price and incomes policies, punitive wealth taxes and eventually a complete economic and financial meltdown and IMF bailout. The situation in the EU is, if anything, worse. This is not a plea for pacifism, for looking away when Ukraine is being illegally invaded by a savage regime. Britain was – and remains – morally right to back Ukraine in a carefully calibrated way. Instead, this is a plea for an economic counter-offensive, for Liz Truss, the next PM, to tackle Putin’s economic and energy war head-on. Mass, immediate intervention is inevitable, but must be designed to avoid hastening Britain’s shift into demagoguery, welfarism and socialist central planning, all steps down Hayek’s “road to serfdom” that the Leftist and green elites are longing us to take. The wrong response – because too little is done, or because the wrong solutions are chosen – would merely advance Putin’s masterplan to cripple the West.

william.scherk Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 From Russian sources, in translations, some reporting on humanitarian challenges in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine. The main website is WarTranslated.com. Russian source: Occupied territories of Ukraine are facing humanitarian catastrophe Ex-Ukrainian politician, defector Dimitriyev, responding to videos featuring hunger strikes in Mariupol, believes the occupied territories of Ukraine, the Donbass region specifically is facing a serious humanitarian crisis in the nearest future. The message was posted in his Telegram channel. As I told you from the very beginning (and even before the operation) – Russian managers are simply not able to establish a normal life in the new territories. Not because they are fools (although most often they are), but because the entire management system is designed not for facing challenges and implementation of new projects, but for stability and control. That is, to support life in the Russian region – yes, bread is baked there, but to arrange the delivery of bread to Mariupol – no, because this is beyond the limits of competence and usual powers. Plus, the law enforcement system is set up so that anything going beyond the limits of authority is stopped and the initiator is punished. Therefore, I think that the new territories will become a zone of humanitarian catastrophe in winter. Restoration of heating and water supply in many affected settlements does not occur. Restoration of housing stock for the most part takes place in the form of window dressing – beautiful houses will be erected on the main streets. There is a hidden struggle for budget contracts – patronage regions, LDNR, Chechens. In addition, people simply have nothing to get by for. Payments to state employees from Ukraine have ended, and those from Russia are difficult to kickstart, even Putin’s 10,000 [rubles], for the most part, have evaporated somewhere. Small business could rectify the situation, but in the Russian system of coordinates it is seen more as a problem. So, for example, in Melitopol, the first thing they banned was street trading, and in Kherson they took away goods for “illegal trading activities.” Therefore, when you fantasise that Ukraine will die of cold and hunger in winter, you must understand that it will not be the first victim of winter. In the fall, a new wave of refugees may pour in from the occupied territories, and no one even understands where to take them. It is especially strange that the stake in the campaign before the referendum in the territories has been put on historical unity. [...] The show is a live feed in Russian with two talking heads who discuss military facts and rumours and purported intelligence.

The main website is WarTranslated.com. More Julia Davis' 'Russian Media Monitor' results, with her customary spin. Presentiment: two days ago, Putin declared that Russian had lost nothing in Ukraine. There's nothing and then there's nothing, one might say. You will see some likely sobering moments for state TV watchers -- the context being today's reported rapid advances of Ukrainian forces towards a major rail transit/supply hub near Kharkiv. The offensive came as a relative surprise to the RF forces and leaders, it seems to me. It was not telegraphed, in any case -- even if imagineered as part of advance war-planning. But see map below from the Institute for the Study of War for the scope and proportions of the offensive. Interdicting troop and armament supplies by rail -- railways being the main Russian force-carrier -- and potentially trapping brigades-worth of forces in a pocket is serious. Such an encirclement removes supply and refresh options and could result in an out of the ordinary amount of RF casualties and captives. It could also impact the ability of Russia to supply fresh troops to counter the Kherson mini-offense on the southern from Russian-language war channels on Telegram are going crazy right now with rumours and reports of a rout for their side. The angriest are angry at sclerotic leadership, brittle command structure -- the deadly results of 'upper deck' decisions made far from the fronts. Ukraine's units are semi-autonomous and nimble in comparison. As a morale-enhancer for the Ukraine side, the counter-offensive is hard to beat. These areas have been under Russian control for six solid months.
