I get the feeling that Germany and France are getting fed up with carrying the Balkan states, and looking for a way out. Russia is the answer, get those talks going pronto.
Balkan States? You probably mean the Baltic States and you possible right that they are fed up with the treacherous Baltics + Poland as deeply russophobe + hostile proxies and lackeys for their US+UK Pimps poisoning any kind of relations with Russia as if the vile constant fear/hate/war-mongering of NATO-Mafia isn’t counterproductive enough. Quick reminder, the forced-on EU Russia sanctions, facilitated by corrupt traitors sell-outs + US-Puppets/Proxies inside the EU + EU-Junta [illegitimate unelected EU Commission + Council], doesn’t damaged the Russian economy much but severely harmed damaged + weaken EU Economies dearly, specially damaged French + German economies….but that… Read more »
They’ll yet rue the day when they brought Poland and the Baltics into NATO.
George Bush was never the brightest diode in that hill’s shining light bulb.
Balkan states, Baltic states – what’s in a name? It’s the game that’s the same.
The name of the game is Divide and Conquer. It’s as old as the Pyramids and employs no fewer amounts of slave labor, although I believe the Egyptians probably paid better.
I’m still trying to find Chechenslovenovakia on the map. It’s a darn sight easier when you bomb the place first but even then…..
Ask your buddy Biden, he probably has copies of checks junior has received from them for something or other.
They did not “carry” the baltic states. They looted them. Just like the giant ponzi scheme of the EU always had to look for new “member states” to extract real wealth for their worthless paper euros. Just like they installed puppet regimes everywhere to do their bidding. But now the logical end has arrived like for all Ponzi schemes: the whole thing ends at the borders of russia. The EU is finished. Switzerland said no, the eastern europeans are fed up, the balkan states, especially serbia, realize they’re much closer to their brothers and sisters in russia than the idiots… Read more »
Bernie Madoff died in prison just for ONE reason, he ripped-off and robbed ‘only’ rich folks. If he just ripped-off looted plundered robbed just the ordinary little common people, the poor, taxpayer + society…like the Elites/Oligarchs AKA ‘Rich’ 24/7 do for centuries….he would gone scott free like ‘They’ always do because they are ALL corrupt/criminal/kleptocratic Ghouls and Parasites, the whole system is rigged corrupted rotten to the core because of ‘Them’ to favor ‘Them’. Don’t get me wrong, Madoff wasn’t a Robin Hood, he surely gave a total fuck about ordinary people but he at least robbed the real criminals.… Read more »
He robbed his own tribe mostly. It happens in close-knit cultures. Who did Ponzi victimize at first, mostly Italian-Americans. It’s human predatory nature.
Speaking from experience, all those aging ex-Nazis the US imported with paperclip chains couldn’t resist schooling Washington’s ex-Trotskiites turned Neocons on what a prize the Baltic states would be.
As a matter of historic facts the Baltic States were full-blown NAZI collaborators participants + accomplices in the war of aggression against the USSR and in the Holocaust…until the USSR stopped them for good, like the UkroNAZI scum from western Ukraine who today hold most of Ukraine hostage.
What? You mean you can’t exercise the God-given right to free expression without risking death? You know, the one that Washington says it invaded to bestow upon the Ukraine people?
Never heard of such a thing. Does Biden know about this?
If he does, he’s already forgotten.
Now they’ll have to carry Ukraine too, compensating it for any losses NS2 brings to it. Can you just imagine? All out of a shame that they let Nuland and Co. ride roughshod over them in carrying out an illegal coup with all its predictable consequences.
Can’t tell if it’s a true shame or the shame one feels when they’ve been conned by scammers and too ashamed to admit it to the world.
So what happens if Ukraine refuses to pay for gas again. Will Germany compensate Russia?
Probably, Uncle Sammie’s waiting in the wings to confiscate any German payments for RU nat gas before they leave the bank, in the name of ‘something or other’. They’ll assign the cause to fit the confiscation as the opportunity arises.
All Putin’s been lobbying for these past ten years is an inclusive European security architecture that reflects post-Soviet European realities. Consider NATO’s visceral expansionist reaction to that and you’ll understand everything you need to know about them. Simple as that.
It is very important to state that “the Dutch” as a people do NOT support the ducht prime minister cs. The dutch prime minister is known and proven to be a notorious liar. He has no credability by the dutch people and has no authority whatsoever. Further more, the dutch minister of foreign affairs as well as the dutch prime minister are declared enemies of Russia and will do anything in their power to oppose Russia when given the opprtunity. But please, take note and be well aware of the fact that a great part of the dutch people have… Read more »
It’s literally the same case in Germany, the hostile russophobia [+ increasing sinophobia] that parts of the Regime, Elites/Oligarchs, Politclown Establishment and all their Fake-News/Propaganda MSM Shills Lackeys + Prestitutes shown with their aggitation and fear/hate/war-mongering….doesn’t reflect the views + stance in the majority of the population…as polls, again and again have shown the majority doesn’t not see Russia or China as threat at all but they see the US + NATO-Mafia as threat. I guess the picture in most EU countries would be the same except in the Baltic States + Poland it’s artificial hyped + exaggerated since they… Read more »
I agree! I’m also dutch and I can also state that our mp is a liar, a big fat liar! I also agree that I have more sympathy with Russia than with the EU or our government.
It’s the same with the British and their government, the Dutch people’s are not alone. ❤️
Yeah, yeah, yeah…….heard it all ad nauseum. If a minority in Ukraine can violently usurp the majority’s democratic will, in the ‘name of democracy’, then what’s stopping you wimps? Afraid of what your landlord across the pond might say?
Probably because a fascist’s ideology either by right or left, though riddled with holes, is bulletproof in its beliefs whereas an enlightened soul is riddled with compromise, reflection and reluctance.
Why does the US while feigning democratic values so readily seek fascist/rightist diktat in its allies in South & Central America, the Balkans and now Eastern Europe? Because of their lack of ideological doubt. It makes for willing and reliable partners.
Well, the Dutch voted him in. If they really believe in Ukraine’s modus operandi, then they should engage in a violent putsch and try to kill him. At least herd some of his supporters into the Hague and burn them alive and stop parsing their beliefs.
Can’t stand nations that parse their beliefs. Can’t stand Ukraine either but at least it doesn’t parse its farces. It flies them high for all to see.
GPS System, commandeering of HMS Defender-Back in the USSR, you dont know how lucky you are, Ringo Star beach boys,, Star Navigational, probably the case, 2009 tour was well after USSR difficulties, Mr. Putin was in the audiance. Usuary a bad move..Learn and dont point your finger at me, pendulum doesnt seem to be theme involved. Iskur, Lord of Divinition, Dinger.
Why don’t they just give him a call? Too worried about Yankee snoopers I guess.
This obsession with Russia is crazy, ridiculous and going much too far. Just because we talk with Putin doesn’t mean we have to love him. It is high time to unseat all these “leaders’ and get people who much rather have peace than war.
Esp. since Crimea did nothing Slovenia didn’t do and the Donbass nothing Kosovo didn’t do and unconstitutionally and without referendum or Yugo putsch in Slovenia’s case and by terrorist thugs no better than Ukraine’s fascist scum in Kosovo’s case but I guess that’s the difference. The US prefers that sort.
What did Albright call Thaqi the Snake… the great hope for democracy? You couldn’t make this sort of bullshit up. No one would believe it’s possible. Yet…..
And yet here we are, firmly in Act X of this replay of Les Miserables, American style.
It all boils down to that, doesn’t it? The beginning of a 25 year slide to oblivion. Either the US and EU acknowledge their perfidious behavior and swear to mend their ways or we all eventually end up in a glass lined nuclear hell. Perfidy being what it is, I’ve already resigned myself to the outcome.
I wish that Lavelle would just wise up and when confronted by numbnut analysts on his show declaring ‘Russia conquered Crimea’, just answer “….and the EU (and NATO) conquered Slovenia? Is that your point?” ans: (the point is that he has no point, he’ll just mumble something about nonsensical ‘whataboutism, before he’s shouted down once again in crudish fashion by Lavelle). Still haven’t learned to rope your opponents in in elegant fashion, have you Peter? Time to bring it into the mainstream: Both were extra-constitutional secessions and were quickly incorporated into a larger body politic. Both sparked civil wars and… Read more »
Talk is cheap. In Germany and France’s case, about half a euro.
EU splits on Russia and US snaps up opportunity to blame Russia for splitting EU.
