The conflict has been frozen in the sense that the frontier has been largely unchanged for a year. But in terms of combatants, Ukraine has lost a major portion of their forces while the Russians have been more successful in preserving theirs. Russia has known all along that time is on their side. The perfect time for the final defeat will be right around September 2024. Just in time for voters in the U.S. and Europe to send a message to the Biden Regime and their vassal state jackals. Russian patience will prevent or at least limit large numbers of… Read more »
Alex and Alexander are great but they still hold onto this idea that some form of democracy exists in the west. There is but its only for the Oligarchs, that very small class of people that own most everything. All geopolitical moves are for them to increase their wealth and power. The people are in the dark always with the masses believing the lies of American Exceptionalism… None of it is true. Go to any city in the US and drive around. Think about the wealth and prosperity this country produces for a few and consistently moves more and more… Read more »
IMHO there has never been in the history of the world, outright democracy at central government level. Nor could there be. Not even in a city state. Only at the village Parish or Panchayat (in India) level, in My opinion. There, people tend to follow their grandparents example. Some democratic representation with parliaments in central government at times yes, but that’s still a case of representation. Limited voting on specific issues, as in Switzerland, is still guided by the media though. When times are good, It’ s more a case of representatives not being distant from the people, and having… Read more »
Neolibs are confused do-gooders. Neocons are psychopathic do-baders.
The Neolibs are confused, but they are not do-gooders. They are fanatics and self-righteous, believing that only their own point of view and opinion is the only valid one and MUST be imposed on everybody else, regardless of the means or the suffering they cause. They think of themselves as do-gooders, but they do evil things to get their agenda through.
I think Penrose means their self-righteousness is asserted in the name of do-goodery
Alexander does not seem to understand that wars are about logistics. The USA has no chance in that part of the world. The Americans will get humiliated in Ukraine.
I think logistics is that word coined popularly by transport and supply companies, who decided transport or just lorry driver wasn’t fancy enough. It means transport and supply, In this case of war, it’s coupled with movement and accommodation of soldiers. This is the meaning I think you are referring to, and is most often the meaning implied when used in respect of armies these days. But it also could also mean the operational considerations of a complex task, its primary meaning, and that applies to battles too, and would include strategies on the battlefield, and therefore everything about conducting… Read more »
Ref: ‘the west don’t want to know about Russia protecting Russians in Ukraine’ Right, and its worse than that – they can’t because In the UK etc (Globalist world) , its all about a bogus ‘multi-culturalism’ there is no UK government that could admit to, or wish to see itself obliged to protect ‘it’s own’ because there they represent no own people. They represent ‘the world’, no culture – its about the destruction of human flowers (cultures). I In fact they seethe at such ideas of national obligations and nationality as being blood ties in culture. ‘Multiculturalism’, the ideology, is… Read more »
Shocking comment about the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Whether your Christian or Hotentot, rather than glib comments about that long standing issue, better to keep your mouth shut.
