The international community has gone to enormous lengths to
provoke Russia
over the last few years. For example, see here for essential background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2021/12/another-russian-pipeline-blocked.html
and: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2021/03/programme-410-podcast-nick-kollerstrom.html.
It is even worse than the engineered oil price crash that was designed to
sabotage the Russian economy, see background links below. The dispute with Ukraine
has been running for so long that most people have forgotten how it started. It
basically comes down to whether the country should join the European Union, a
tyrannical federation that Britain has just escaped from, or develop closer
ties to Russia, a strategy the political philosopher Alexander Dugin calls
"Eurasianism". As a result of this there have been riots, an airliner
has been shot down and the Ukrainian president almost assassinated. The Western
press have been portraying Russians as a bunch of computer hackers, poisoners
and dangerous pilots. After the Cold War, the Illuminati failed in their plan
to change Russia
de-facto and instead have had to endure one de-jure. This new Russia
is not obeying orders from head office. As a result globalist powers have
pushed eastwards under the flags of NATO and the EU. Ukraine
is Europe 's biggest country (excluding Russia
which is not just in Europe ) and an important strategic
node, sitting as it does between the two blocs. The military build-up of
Russian forces on the Ukrainian border is being demonized as an act of
unprovoked aggression, exactly as it happened with the conflict in Georgia a
few years ago; but really isn't it just defensive? President Putin says he has
no intention to invade Ukraine ,
but nobody believes him. That's understandable seeing as he has a huge force on
standby that could be used for invasion, and a new flank has just opened up on
the northern border with Belarus ,
which is allowing Putin's troops to assemble there too. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-60048395.
Yesterday I saw a very frightening newspaper headline: "BRITISH TROOPS
SENT TO UKRAINE!" Obviously this is highly sensationalized to persuade you
to buy the paper, but it is factually true. Britain
is supplying the Ukrainian army with NLAW anti-tank missiles. About a hundred
military specialists are going with them just for training purposes. In fact
other NATO members have done the same. The USA
sold Ukraine
hundreds of Javelin anti-tank missiles in 2018. It must seem to Putin that even
if Ukraine never
joins NATO, it has picked up much NATO hardware that it might as well do. I do
hope this sticky situation calms down soon. At the same time I respect Putin
for standing his ground; indeed, he must. He is wise enough to show restraint
and not do what NATO really wants, lash out with some kind of excessive use of
force. In fact, maybe we should be wary of possible false-flags; a building "bombed
by Russian agents" in Kiev for
example? The reason I am learning the Russian language is because a time might
come when Russia could be the only country in which it will be safe for me to
live, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2021/08/im-learning-russian.html.

Russia is the white heterosexual male of international politics; he has no right to defend himself and must be constantly shamed.
ReplyDeleteRecently I found out that one of my ancestors was a Russian Count who squandered his estate on gambling.
Feeling a bit annoyed with him for that.
Hi Araninta. Ancestor guilt and being Russian is a contradiction for the reason you gave! It's a good analogy you gave. The only difference is that Russia is not self-hating. I wish actual WHM's would become more like Russia.
ReplyDelete"The Western press have been portraying Russians as a bunch of computer hackers, poisoners and dangerous pilots", you don't need any press to confirm that! maybe look up the GRU and their rivalry with the KGB and the list of murders across Europe attributed to them over twenty years since Putin came to power...
ReplyDeleteRussia (or rather Putin as this was not the case post USSR under Gorbachov or Yeltsin) view Ukraine as the spiritual home of the Russian people and want it as a land buffer zone strategically against the defensive pact of NATO. Ideally not in the European union and it will lead to war if Ukraine joins NATO not if it joins the European union. This aggression will now likely lead to other European countries joining NATO that have historically remained neutral (Finland and Sweden) resulting in even greater risk of a major conflict.
It should be pointed out that Russia is the only country to invade Europe since ww2 to seize territory and should be viewed as an aggressive state rather than defensive.
What you ( with an extremely bias pro Russian slant I may add)(and Putin) fail to acknowledge is that is the decision of the Ukrainian people, their choice in the same way as Brexit was the choice of the UK.
Annexing Crimea and enabling a proxy war on Ukrainian territory is an act of war that has been ongoing for many years frustrating Russia as they cannot provoke Ukraine to break the ceasefire (despite daily hostile shelling and sniper fire) and an excuse to invade.
Do not make the assumption Putin speaks on behalf of the Russian people or has any opinion in the best interests of Ukraine or it's people without speaking to them/us before airing your viewpoints in such a provocative, self opinionated way that many who live in the region find distasteful and untrue.
Thank you.
Anon, have you seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWt9t-PAMR4
ReplyDeleteI think Anon nailed it Ben considering current events subsequently.
ReplyDeleteUkrainian people do not want Putin, I see guns and blockades not flowers and hugs greeting Russian forces. Russian troops walking away having been duped into thinking they were on a training mission not an invasion. I see a steady increase of protests being quelled in Russian especially in the big cities of Moscow and St Petersburg.
It's alright to admit you were wrong sometimes and especially so now ben. There is never any justification for any military conflict other than self defence. Ukraine never attacked Russia, Russia is the invader and occupying force since 2014 resulting in thousands of deaths since and even more destruction now.
FC-UK, I disagree, I don't think Anon nailed it at all. He/she didn't respond to the video I posted. It's not available now for some reason. In stead an equally good one is on the 25th of Feb UK Column: https://www.ukcolumn.org/ukcolumn-news/uk-column-news-25th-february-2022
ReplyDeleteNaturally, the Ukrainian people are not thinking in political terms right now. This is an invasion that I wish had never happened. I thought it wouldn't happen and that President Putin would find another way. However, it is false and unfair to blame Russia for this. The EU/NATO globalists have been the ones occupying Ukraine. Do you really think Yanukovych would have permitted the scandal over Hunter Biden's laptop, and that's just the start! Ukraine is the Havana of the east and it needs to be cleaned up! I am as sad as you over the death and destruction wreaked, but don't let your emotions knock you over. It's worth wathcing the film Wag The Dog, also check out my Ukraine portal: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2022/02/ukraine-war-portal.html
