Putins imperialist ambitions were revealed just a few days into his special military disaster.
The Kremlin’s propaganda publication RIA-Novosti accidentally published an article that was to be published after the rapid regime change in Ukraine. It was quickly removed, but the Internet Archive web service managed to save it. It was written by kremlin propagandist petr akopov......Sorry about the length but it wont let me use a link.
A new world is being born before our eyes. Russia’s military operation in Ukraine has ushered in a new era – in three dimensions at once. And of course, in the fourth, internal Russian. Here begins a new period both in ideology and in the very model of our socio-economic system – but this is worth talking about separately a little later.
Russia is restoring its unity; the tragedy of 1991, this terrible catastrophe in our history, its unnatural dislocation, has been overcome. Yes, at a great cost, yes, through the tragic events of a virtual civil war, because now brothers, separated by belonging to the Russian and Ukrainian armies, are still shooting at each other, but there will be no more Ukraine as anti-Russia. Russia is restoring its historical fullness, gathering the Russian world, the Russian people together – in its entirety of Great Russians, Belarusians and Little Russians.
If we had abandoned this, if we had allowed the temporary division to take hold for centuries, then we would not only betray the memory of our ancestors, but would also be cursed by our descendants for allowing the disintegration of the Russian land.
Vladimir Putin has assumed, without a drop of exaggeration, a historic responsibility by deciding not to leave the solution of the Ukrainian question to future generations. After all, the need to solve it would always remain the main problem for Russia – for two key reasons. And the issue of national security, that is, the creation of anti-Russia out of Ukraine and an outpost for the West to put pressure on us, is only the second most important among them.
The first would always be the complex of a divided people, the complex of national humiliation – when the Russian house first lost part of its foundation (Kyiv), and then was forced to come to terms with the existence of two states, not one, but two peoples. That is, either to abandon their history, agreeing with the insane versions that “only Ukraine is the real Rus,” or to gnash one’s teeth helplessly, remembering the times when “we lost Ukraine.” Returning Ukraine, that is, turning it back to Russia, would be more and more difficult with every decade – recoding, de-Russification of Russians and inciting Ukrainian Little Russians against Russians would gain momentum. And in the event of the consolidation of the full geopolitical and military control of the West over Ukraine, its return to Russia would become completely impossible – we would have to fight for it with the Atlantic bloc.
Now this problem is gone – Ukraine has returned to Russia. This does not mean that its statehood will be liquidated, but it will be reorganized, re-established and returned to its natural state as a part of the Russian world. Within what boundaries, in what form will the alliance with Russia be consolidated (through the CSTO and the Eurasian Union or the Union State of Russia and Belarus)? This will be decided after the end is put in the history of Ukraine as anti-Russia. In any case, the period of the split of the Russian people is coming to an end.
Here begins the second dimension of the coming new era – it concerns Russia’s relations with the West. Not even Russia, but the Russian world, that is, three states, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, acting in the geopolitical dimension as a whole. These relations have entered a new stage – the West sees the return of Russia to its historical borders in Europe. And it is loudly indignant at this, although in the depths of his soul it must admit that it could not be otherwise.
Did anyone in the old European capitals, in Paris and Berlin, seriously believe that Moscow would give up Kyiv? That the Russians will forever be a divided people? And at the same time when Europe is uniting, when the German and French elites are trying to seize control of European integration from the Anglo-Saxons and assemble a united Europe? Forgetting that the unification of Europe became possible only thanks to the unification of Germany, which took place according to the good Russian (albeit not very smart) will. To swipe after that also on Russian lands is not even the height of ingratitude, but of geopolitical stupidity. The West as a whole, and even more so Europe in particular, did not have the strength to keep Ukraine in its sphere of influence, and even more so to take Ukraine for itself. In order not to understand this, they had to be just geopolitical fools.
More precisely, there was only one option: to bet on the further collapse of Russia, that is, the Russian Federation. However, the fact that it did not work should have been clear twenty years ago. Moreover, already fifteen years ago, after Putin’s Munich speech, even the deaf could hear – Russia is returning.
Now the West is trying to punish Russia for the fact that it returned, for not justifying its plans to profit at its expense, for not allowing the expansion of the western space to the east. Seeking to punish us, the West thinks that relations with it are of vital importance to us. However, this has not been the case for a long time already – the world has changed, and this is well understood not only by Europeans, but also by the Anglo-Saxons who rule the West. No amount of Western pressure on Russia will lead to anything. Losses from the sublimation of confrontation will be on both sides, but Russia is ready for them morally and geopolitically. Nevertheless, for the West itself, an increase in the degree of confrontation incurs huge costs – and the main ones are not at all economic.
Europe, as part of the West, wanted autonomy – the German project of European integration does not make strategic sense while maintaining the Anglo-Saxon ideological, military and geopolitical control over the Old World. Moreover, it cannot be successful, because the Anglo-Saxons need a controlled Europe. However, Europe needs autonomy for another reason as well — in case the States go into self-isolation (as a result of growing internal conflicts and contradictions) or focus on the Pacific region, where the geopolitical center of gravity is moving.
The confrontation with Russia, into which the Anglo-Saxons are dragging Europe, deprives the Europeans of even the chances of independence – not to mention the fact that in the same way Europe is trying to impose a break with China. If now the Atlanticists are happy that the “Russian threat” will unite the Western bloc, then in Berlin and Paris they cannot fail to understand that, having lost hope for autonomy, the European project will simply collapse in the medium term. That is why independent-minded Europeans are now completely uninterested in building a new iron curtain on their eastern borders – realizing that it will turn into a corral for Europe. Whose age (more precisely, half a millennium) of global leadership is over in any case – but various options for its future are still possible.
Because the construction of a new world order – and this is the third dimension of current events – is accelerating, and its contours are more and more clearly visible through the spreading cover of Anglo-Saxon globalization. The multipolar world has finally become a reality – the operation in Ukraine is not capable of rallying anyone but the West against Russia. Because the rest of the world sees and understands perfectly well – this is a conflict between Russia and the West, this is a response to the geopolitical expansion of the Atlanticists, this is Russia’s return of its historical space and its place in the world.
China and India, Latin America and Africa, the Islamic world and Southeast Asia – no one believes that the West leads the world order, much less sets the rules of the game. Russia has not only challenged the West, it has shown that the era of Western global domination can be considered completely and finally over. The new world will be built by all civilizations and centers of power, naturally, together with the West (united or not) – but not on its terms and not according to its rules.
Putins special military disaster has never been about NATO expansion or ukranian nazis committing genocide on ethnic russians. It has always been about russian expansion/imperialism. I will also add that they spent 1.9 billion usd last year on their propaganda. Its putins most potent weapon. The maga stuff is identical in its nationalist narrative. Im pretty sure that putin and trump have allied in some way since 2016 and the maria butina spy episode when putin was using the NRA to secretly gain contact with trump pre his election win.

@DZHONNILPR In 1991 All the regions/oblasts in ukraine voted 92% to leave a union with russia. Including donbas and crimea. 17% of the population at the time were ethnic russian so many of them must have voted for it too. The independance referendums you talk of were never going to be legally binding as the host nation needed to be involved. As well as a peaceful environment so both sides could make their case before a vote. And all the displaced people who lived there at the time but fled due to the violence. Including the local football team shaktar donetsk for example.
В 1991 г. все области/области Украины проголосовали 92% за выход из союза с Россией. Включая Донбасс и Крым. 17% населения в то время были этническими русскими, так что многие из них, должно быть, тоже проголосовали за это. Референдумы о независимости, о которых вы говорите, никогда не станут юридически обязывающими, так как в них должна участвовать принимающая страна. А также мирная обстановка, чтобы обе стороны могли изложить свою позицию до голосования. И всех перемещенных лиц, которые жили там в то время, но бежали из-за насилия. В том числе, например, местная футбольная команда «Шахтер донецк».

@ah5836 There is an awful lot but here you go. You asked for it
Just a bit of history about ukraine, pre maidan. 80 odd years of russification has to be taken into account. From stalin times through the soviet era up to 1991. Thats why russian culture/language etc was and still is to a degree, ingrained into ukranian culture. In 1991 ukraine voted 92% to leave the union with russia. All the oblasts and regions voted in favour including crimea and the donbas region. Ukraine then followed a similar route as yeltsins russia with attempts at fast tracking democracy and western style capitalism. The lack of legal accountability though ended up with oligarch corruption in both countries. Putin then took over around 2000 in russia. He, amongst many ex soviet hardliners, never recognised that 1991 vote and so set out to return a form of russian domination on all of its former soviet states that had left during the break up of the ussr.
Putins attempts in ukraine began politically with yanukovych in the elections of 2004. His state funded tv media had begun its propaganda methods, not only in russia, but in all the border areas of its former soviet states, including ukraine. Pro russian olgarchs were also financing and involved in it all too. Yanukovych won the 2004 election but claims of corruption created a massive demonstration in kiev. The orange revolution as it became known then forced a rerun of the election after ukraines highest court ruled that there was indeed electoral corruption. His "poisoned" opponent victor yushchenko winning the rerun comfortably. He was pro west/democracy and in power for 5 years up till 2010. Attempted to join NATO along with georgia, but germany and france vetoed their application as they wanted a more economically friendly relationship with putin instead. He also began preliminary negotiations for ukraine to join the EU.
In 2010 yanukovych won a close run election that was deemed fair by international observers. His 3 years saw the NATO bid scrapped altogether. Increasing oppression of his political opponents. The constitution changed to help that oppression. The jailing of his main political opponent yulia tymoshenko. And the most fateful decision of all to scrap the proposed union with the EU for one with the very country the people voted 92% to leave in 1991.
So not surprisingly the ukranian people werent having any of that so another revolution started late in 2013. This time called the revolution of dignity or maidan.
It began peacefully at first but as the police became more hardline in their approach the numbers demonstrating and the violence grew. Yanukovych, as you would expect from a putin clone, sent in his special police berkut unit to open fire on unarmed demonstrators. 120 died with thousands injured. No way could he survive that bloodbath. He fled, and the folowing morning the duma reformed and voted to strip him of his power and arranged a new election which petro poroshenko later won. The constitution was reinstated and tymoshenko released. Evidence was also found of voting corruption in his abandoned palace casting doubt on his earlier election win.
Since Maidan putin has adopted a much more extreme military approach to achieve that original objective. Culminating in february 22 last year.
Minsk 2015....The 3 (of the 13) points in the minsk agreement putin refused to recognise.
4. To start a dialogue on interim self-government for the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, in accordance with Ukrainian law, and acknowledge their special status by parliamentary resolution.
9. Restoration of full control of the state border by the government of Ukraine.
10. Withdrawal of all foreign armed formations, military equipment and mercenaries.
Plus the biggest peace deal game breaker of course......invading the very nation the peace deasl was with, and with it a UN recognised sovereign nation.
But of course he doesnt recognise them as a sovereign nation. Which is 100% the reason why he and his fascist/nationalist imperialist supporters want to kill democratic ukraine, especially the democratic bit. He wants to renew his love in again with his beloved ussr. Dictators in search of lost empires. Mussolini, hitler and now putin.
Ukro nazis and azov......Just 2% voted far right in ukraines last election 2019 with no mps elected. Zelensky is jewish and his party is liberal left leaning. Poroshenkos party is pro eu and centrish. Both have won elections on anti corruption tickets.
The private azov militia group were de politicised long ago and are now led and incorporated into the professional ukranian army. Their former leader/founder stood in that last election and got knowhere. A better description of them here...
Commanders now are regular UAF Officers who were assigned to command after the SNP political leadership was removed. Out the 73 founders of Azov in Kharkhiv. Only 14 were from the SNP. The Myth of Nazi Azov was just that, a myth promulgated by the RuZZ Fascists & their Red Fascist Stalinist Allies. Most of Azov were originally formed by Football Ultras & grew from Kharkhiv to include Ultras from many of the FC's of east & south. Yes a large Minority of the Ultras had been affiliated to various Far Right outfits but not all. A large Minority also came from Far Left Outfits as well as Anarchists. All those Ultras used to fight each other ...now they fight side by in Azov. Azov grew beyond the Ultras too though as many non-Political & non-Ultra civilian volunteers joined Azov after invasion & it grew from Battalion size to Regiment. Also some existing regular soldiers were transferred in, new recruits to UAF also were added to build it to Brigade size. Azov now is nothing like Azov of 2014.

See youve been reading the putin troll propaganda handbook.....In fact youve printed it right here.
Firstly there was no proof of biolabs creating any biological warfare. The project was to refocus former soviet biological weapon labs to more friendly purposes. The United States provides biosafety, disease surveillance, and biosecurity assistance to more than 30 countries in Africa; Eastern Europe; South, Central and Southeast Asia; and the Middle East.
Reasons for maidan..... Ukraine voted 92% to be independant from a union with russia in 1991. With all the oblasts voting in favour including the donbas and crimea. In 2013 putin puppet yanukovych scrapped a potential union with the EU for one with the very country they voted to leave in 1991.. Whilst also jailing his main political opponent yulia tymoshenko.. In 2004 , another maidan had previously occured, with an orange revolution, against that same elected puppet yanukovych. Tho this time for "voting corruption", which was later proved true, as his "poisoned" opponent won the rerun comfortably.. Maidan began peacefully at first but then violence was used againt protestors and it escalated until yanukovych ordered snipers to shoot unarmed protestors. 120 died and thousands were injured. No way could he survive that bloodbath. Evidence was later found in his abandoned palace of voting corruption casting doubt on his earlier close election win.......Another election was held and the very pro maidan supporter poroshenko won.
The russian language was never banned. It was discouraged to encourage more people to learn ukranian. In public service ukranian was required to be used. Schools to designate it as the primary language. Ukraine could never gain access to the EU if it discriminated against a minority.
The odessa tragedy is what happens when anarchy takes over. The police and fire services never intervened. Some even took sides. Ukranians on the outside did rescue many from inside the building. Shots were being fired from both sides. Some died from both sides in the preceding rioting before the building caught fire. Barricading themselves in didnt help either.
Neither did lobbing molotovs at each other.
There were private militias set up at the time as the ukranian army was too weak at that time to fight what was uin essence a shadow russian army.. Azov was one of them. They have since been depoliticised and brought under ukranian army control. From wiki...About 14,200–14,400 people were killed in the war, the vast majority of them in the first year. About 6,500 were pro-Russian separatist forces, 4,400 Ukrainian forces, and 3,404 were civilians.
It has to be a proxy war as armageddon might be the alternative. There would be no war at all if putin abandoned his imperialist ambitions to recreate the USSR into a "greater russian world" again. The "belorussians", the "greater russians" and their so called "little russians" of ukraine all combininng together as a true superpower to rival the west..Thats what this is al about. Nothing to do with bio labs, the russian language or the supposed genocide of ethnic russians. If it was about ensuring their safety then all he needed to do was enter those regions after recognising them, which he did, and then create an exclusion zone along the disputed border. But he didnt. He invaded a sovereign nation, just like serbia is now, instead.
"Russia today fights for the freedom of all people in the world".....Nah russia today fights for a fascist style dictator with imperial dreams. Dictators in search of lost empires. Hitler, mussolini and now putin.
"14% of humanity, and 86% of humanity did not and will not impose sanctions on Russia" Only 5 countries voted against the UN resolution condemning the invasion. Russia, belorussia, syria, eritrea and north korea..Russia was also recently removed from the UNs human rights council......Think about that too....

NATO is at peace. The only bullies to blame are those who invade a peaceful neighbour for imperial reasons.....
It has always been about russian expansion/imperialism. Evidence of this was given just a few days into the invasion, 28th february when a propaganda article was released early in error.
The Kremlin’s propaganda publication RIA-Novosti accidentally published an article that was to be published after the rapid regime change in Ukraine. It was quickly removed, but the Internet Archive web service managed to save it. It was written by kremlin propagandist petr akopov......
"A new world is being born before our eyes. Russia’s military operation in Ukraine has ushered in a new era – in three dimensions at once. And of course, in the fourth, internal Russian. Here begins a new period both in ideology and in the very model of our socio-economic system – but this is worth talking about separately a little later.
Russia is restoring its unity; the tragedy of 1991, this terrible catastrophe in our history, its unnatural dislocation, has been overcome. Yes, at a great cost, yes, through the tragic events of a virtual civil war, because now brothers, separated by belonging to the Russian and Ukrainian armies, are still shooting at each other, but there will be no more Ukraine as anti-Russia. Russia is restoring its historical fullness, gathering the Russian world, the Russian people together – in its entirety of Great Russians, Belarusians and Little Russians.
If we had abandoned this, if we had allowed the temporary division to take hold for centuries, then we would not only betray the memory of our ancestors, but would also be cursed by our descendants for allowing the disintegration of the Russian land.
Vladimir Putin has assumed, without a drop of exaggeration, a historic responsibility by deciding not to leave the solution of the Ukrainian question to future generations. After all, the need to solve it would always remain the main problem for Russia – for two key reasons. And the issue of national security, that is, the creation of anti-Russia out of Ukraine and an outpost for the West to put pressure on us, is only the second most important among them.
The first would always be the complex of a divided people, the complex of national humiliation – when the Russian house first lost part of its foundation (Kyiv), and then was forced to come to terms with the existence of two states, not one, but two peoples. That is, either to abandon their history, agreeing with the insane versions that “only Ukraine is the real Rus,” or to gnash one’s teeth helplessly, remembering the times when “we lost Ukraine.” Returning Ukraine, that is, turning it back to Russia, would be more and more difficult with every decade – recoding, de-Russification of Russians and inciting Ukrainian Little Russians against Russians would gain momentum. And in the event of the consolidation of the full geopolitical and military control of the West over Ukraine, its return to Russia would become completely impossible – we would have to fight for it with the Atlantic bloc.
Now this problem is gone – Ukraine has returned to Russia. This does not mean that its statehood will be liquidated, but it will be reorganized, re-established and returned to its natural state as a part of the Russian world. Within what boundaries, in what form will the alliance with Russia be consolidated (through the CSTO and the Eurasian Union or the Union State of Russia and Belarus)? This will be decided after the end is put in the history of Ukraine as anti-Russia. In any case, the period of the split of the Russian people is coming to an end.
Here begins the second dimension of the coming new era – it concerns Russia’s relations with the West. Not even Russia, but the Russian world, that is, three states, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, acting in the geopolitical dimension as a whole. These relations have entered a new stage – the West sees the return of Russia to its historical borders in Europe. And it is loudly indignant at this, although in the depths of his soul it must admit that it could not be otherwise.
Did anyone in the old European capitals, in Paris and Berlin, seriously believe that Moscow would give up Kyiv? That the Russians will forever be a divided people? And at the same time when Europe is uniting, when the German and French elites are trying to seize control of European integration from the Anglo-Saxons and assemble a united Europe? Forgetting that the unification of Europe became possible only thanks to the unification of Germany, which took place according to the good Russian (albeit not very smart) will. To swipe after that also on Russian lands is not even the height of ingratitude, but of geopolitical stupidity. The West as a whole, and even more so Europe in particular, did not have the strength to keep Ukraine in its sphere of influence, and even more so to take Ukraine for itself. In order not to understand this, they had to be just geopolitical fools.
More precisely, there was only one option: to bet on the further collapse of Russia, that is, the Russian Federation. However, the fact that it did not work should have been clear twenty years ago. Moreover, already fifteen years ago, after Putin’s Munich speech, even the deaf could hear – Russia is returning.
Now the West is trying to punish Russia for the fact that it returned, for not justifying its plans to profit at its expense, for not allowing the expansion of the western space to the east. Seeking to punish us, the West thinks that relations with it are of vital importance to us. However, this has not been the case for a long time already – the world has changed, and this is well understood not only by Europeans, but also by the Anglo-Saxons who rule the West. No amount of Western pressure on Russia will lead to anything. Losses from the sublimation of confrontation will be on both sides, but Russia is ready for them morally and geopolitically. Nevertheless, for the West itself, an increase in the degree of confrontation incurs huge costs – and the main ones are not at all economic.
Europe, as part of the West, wanted autonomy – the German project of European integration does not make strategic sense while maintaining the Anglo-Saxon ideological, military and geopolitical control over the Old World. Moreover, it cannot be successful, because the Anglo-Saxons need a controlled Europe. However, Europe needs autonomy for another reason as well — in case the States go into self-isolation (as a result of growing internal conflicts and contradictions) or focus on the Pacific region, where the geopolitical center of gravity is moving.
The confrontation with Russia, into which the Anglo-Saxons are dragging Europe, deprives the Europeans of even the chances of independence – not to mention the fact that in the same way Europe is trying to impose a break with China. If now the Atlanticists are happy that the “Russian threat” will unite the Western bloc, then in Berlin and Paris they cannot fail to understand that, having lost hope for autonomy, the European project will simply collapse in the medium term. That is why independent-minded Europeans are now completely uninterested in building a new iron curtain on their eastern borders – realizing that it will turn into a corral for Europe. Whose age (more precisely, half a millennium) of global leadership is over in any case – but various options for its future are still possible.
Because the construction of a new world order – and this is the third dimension of current events – is accelerating, and its contours are more and more clearly visible through the spreading cover of Anglo-Saxon globalization. The multipolar world has finally become a reality – the operation in Ukraine is not capable of rallying anyone but the West against Russia. Because the rest of the world sees and understands perfectly well – this is a conflict between Russia and the West, this is a response to the geopolitical expansion of the Atlanticists, this is Russia’s return of its historical space and its place in the world.
China and India, Latin America and Africa, the Islamic world and Southeast Asia – no one believes that the West leads the world order, much less sets the rules of the game. Russia has not only challenged the West, it has shown that the era of Western global domination can be considered completely and finally over. The new world will be built by all civilizations and centers of power, naturally, together with the West (united or not) – but not on its terms and not according to its rules."

@hansmueller3084 Baghdad/part of the 20 year "war on terror"after 9/11. Just like putin went after chechnyan rebels after beslan and other teror attacks on his civilians...... The 2 atom bombs ended WW2. Cost thousands but saved millions of lives in trying to invade "kamikazi" "iwo jima" japan. It was also a different era.....Napalm is no different to modern day incendiary munitions... Napalm/incendiary munitions are not banned by the geneva convention. Using them on civilians is. And is a war crime.........Human Rights Watch documented over 120 incidents involving incendiary weapons from 2012 to 2018 by the Syrian-Russian military alliance, which took place in six governorates: Aleppo, Damascus, Damascus Countryside, Daraa, Hama, and Idlib....In ukraine russia-backed separatist forces used ground-launched incendiary weapons, in particular 9M22S Grad rockets, in July-August 2014 in at least two towns in eastern Ukraine, Ilovaisk, and Luhansk. They burned several homes and endangered civilians.
The western military attempts to avoid civilian casualties in war time. Holds enquiries if required and punishes those that disobey the rules. Whereas putins russia seemingly celebrates it.

@paulweber212 Oh you want some as well. OK here you go.
Putins special military disaster has never been about NATO expansion or ukranian nazis committing genocide on ethnic russians. It has always been about russian expansion/imperialism. Evidence of this was given just a few days into the invasion, 28th february when a propaganda article was released early in error.
The Kremlin’s propaganda publication RIA-Novosti accidentally published an article that was to be published after the rapid regime change in Ukraine. It was quickly removed, but the Internet Archive web service managed to save it. It was written by kremlin propagandist petr akopov......Sorry about the length but it wont let me use a link.

@Mccormick2023 "that is propaganda, there is no indication that Putin seriously wants to annex every piece of Ukrainian territory. If he did than he wouldn’t be focusing on the Russian speaking or pro Russian areas of Ukraine"
Never said he wanted to annex all the territory. He wanted a 3 day regime change. That was still going to control ukraine as his puppet yanukovych was in belorus ready to take over apparently. He started annexing after that failed. Now its all about saving face and territory. His ultimate aim is still there tho imho.
Edit The Kremlin’s propaganda publication RIA-Novosti accidentally published an article that was to be published after the rapid regime change in Ukraine. It was quickly removed, but the Internet Archive web service managed to save it. It was written by kremlin propagandist petr akopov......Sorry about the length but it wont let me use a link. It proves putins imperial ambitions in ukraine. It was written in the belief that the regime change was successful. The "little russians" by the way are the ukranians. Wheras the "greater russians" are just that it seems..

They arnt very good geopolitical analysts then are they? And are you being bought by russia?
Putins special military disaster has never been about NATO expansion or ukranian nazis committing genocide on ethnic russians. It has always been about russian expansion/imperialism. Evidence of this was given just a few days into the invasion, 28th february when a propaganda article was released early in error.
The Kremlin’s propaganda publication RIA-Novosti accidentally published an article that was to be published after the rapid regime change in Ukraine. It was quickly removed, but the Internet Archive web service managed to save it. It was written by kremlin propagandist petr akopov......Sorry about the length but it wont let me use a link.
A new world is being born before our eyes. Russia’s military operation in Ukraine has ushered in a new era – in three dimensions at once. And of course, in the fourth, internal Russian. Here begins a new period both in ideology and in the very model of our socio-economic system – but this is worth talking about separately a little later.
Russia is restoring its unity; the tragedy of 1991, this terrible catastrophe in our history, its unnatural dislocation, has been overcome. Yes, at a great cost, yes, through the tragic events of a virtual civil war, because now brothers, separated by belonging to the Russian and Ukrainian armies, are still shooting at each other, but there will be no more Ukraine as anti-Russia. Russia is restoring its historical fullness, gathering the Russian world, the Russian people together – in its entirety of Great Russians, Belarusians and Little Russians.
If we had abandoned this, if we had allowed the temporary division to take hold for centuries, then we would not only betray the memory of our ancestors, but would also be cursed by our descendants for allowing the disintegration of the Russian land.
Vladimir Putin has assumed, without a drop of exaggeration, a historic responsibility by deciding not to leave the solution of the Ukrainian question to future generations. After all, the need to solve it would always remain the main problem for Russia – for two key reasons. And the issue of national security, that is, the creation of anti-Russia out of Ukraine and an outpost for the West to put pressure on us, is only the second most important among them.
The first would always be the complex of a divided people, the complex of national humiliation – when the Russian house first lost part of its foundation (Kyiv), and then was forced to come to terms with the existence of two states, not one, but two peoples. That is, either to abandon their history, agreeing with the insane versions that “only Ukraine is the real Rus,” or to gnash one’s teeth helplessly, remembering the times when “we lost Ukraine.” Returning Ukraine, that is, turning it back to Russia, would be more and more difficult with every decade – recoding, de-Russification of Russians and inciting Ukrainian Little Russians against Russians would gain momentum. And in the event of the consolidation of the full geopolitical and military control of the West over Ukraine, its return to Russia would become completely impossible – we would have to fight for it with the Atlantic bloc.
Now this problem is gone – Ukraine has returned to Russia. This does not mean that its statehood will be liquidated, but it will be reorganized, re-established and returned to its natural state as a part of the Russian world. Within what boundaries, in what form will the alliance with Russia be consolidated (through the CSTO and the Eurasian Union or the Union State of Russia and Belarus)? This will be decided after the end is put in the history of Ukraine as anti-Russia. In any case, the period of the split of the Russian people is coming to an end.
Here begins the second dimension of the coming new era – it concerns Russia’s relations with the West. Not even Russia, but the Russian world, that is, three states, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, acting in the geopolitical dimension as a whole. These relations have entered a new stage – the West sees the return of Russia to its historical borders in Europe. And it is loudly indignant at this, although in the depths of his soul it must admit that it could not be otherwise.
Did anyone in the old European capitals, in Paris and Berlin, seriously believe that Moscow would give up Kyiv? That the Russians will forever be a divided people? And at the same time when Europe is uniting, when the German and French elites are trying to seize control of European integration from the Anglo-Saxons and assemble a united Europe? Forgetting that the unification of Europe became possible only thanks to the unification of Germany, which took place according to the good Russian (albeit not very smart) will. To swipe after that also on Russian lands is not even the height of ingratitude, but of geopolitical stupidity. The West as a whole, and even more so Europe in particular, did not have the strength to keep Ukraine in its sphere of influence, and even more so to take Ukraine for itself. In order not to understand this, they had to be just geopolitical fools.
More precisely, there was only one option: to bet on the further collapse of Russia, that is, the Russian Federation. However, the fact that it did not work should have been clear twenty years ago. Moreover, already fifteen years ago, after Putin’s Munich speech, even the deaf could hear – Russia is returning.
Now the West is trying to punish Russia for the fact that it returned, for not justifying its plans to profit at its expense, for not allowing the expansion of the western space to the east. Seeking to punish us, the West thinks that relations with it are of vital importance to us. However, this has not been the case for a long time already – the world has changed, and this is well understood not only by Europeans, but also by the Anglo-Saxons who rule the West. No amount of Western pressure on Russia will lead to anything. Losses from the sublimation of confrontation will be on both sides, but Russia is ready for them morally and geopolitically. Nevertheless, for the West itself, an increase in the degree of confrontation incurs huge costs – and the main ones are not at all economic.
Europe, as part of the West, wanted autonomy – the German project of European integration does not make strategic sense while maintaining the Anglo-Saxon ideological, military and geopolitical control over the Old World. Moreover, it cannot be successful, because the Anglo-Saxons need a controlled Europe. However, Europe needs autonomy for another reason as well — in case the States go into self-isolation (as a result of growing internal conflicts and contradictions) or focus on the Pacific region, where the geopolitical center of gravity is moving.
The confrontation with Russia, into which the Anglo-Saxons are dragging Europe, deprives the Europeans of even the chances of independence – not to mention the fact that in the same way Europe is trying to impose a break with China. If now the Atlanticists are happy that the “Russian threat” will unite the Western bloc, then in Berlin and Paris they cannot fail to understand that, having lost hope for autonomy, the European project will simply collapse in the medium term. That is why independent-minded Europeans are now completely uninterested in building a new iron curtain on their eastern borders – realizing that it will turn into a corral for Europe. Whose age (more precisely, half a millennium) of global leadership is over in any case – but various options for its future are still possible.
Because the construction of a new world order – and this is the third dimension of current events – is accelerating, and its contours are more and more clearly visible through the spreading cover of Anglo-Saxon globalization. The multipolar world has finally become a reality – the operation in Ukraine is not capable of rallying anyone but the West against Russia. Because the rest of the world sees and understands perfectly well – this is a conflict between Russia and the West, this is a response to the geopolitical expansion of the Atlanticists, this is Russia’s return of its historical space and its place in the world.
China and India, Latin America and Africa, the Islamic world and Southeast Asia – no one believes that the West leads the world order, much less sets the rules of the game. Russia has not only challenged the West, it has shown that the era of Western global domination can be considered completely and finally over. The new world will be built by all civilizations and centers of power, naturally, together with the West (united or not) – but not on its terms and not according to its rules.

@TN-ju4ro Proxy war? Historical facts? History lesson required.
Just a bit of history about ukraine, pre maidan. 80 odd years of russification has to be taken into account. From stalin times through the soviet era up to 1991. Thats why russian culture/language etc was and still is to a degree, ingrained into ukranian culture. In 1991 ukraine voted 92% to leave the union with russia. All the oblasts and regions voted in favour including crimea and the donbas region. Ukraine then followed a similar route as yeltsins russia with attempts at fast tracking democracy and western style capitalism. The lack of legal accountability though ended up with oligarch corruption in both countries. Putin then took over around 2000 in russia. He, amongst many ex soviet hardliners, never recognised that 1991 vote and so set out to return a form of russian domination on all of its former soviet states that had left during the break up of the ussr.
Putins attempts in ukraine began politically with yanukovych in the elections of 2004. His state funded tv media had begun its propaganda methods, not only in russia, but in all the border areas of its former soviet states, including ukraine. Pro russian olgarchs were also financing and involved in it all too. Yanukovych won the 2004 election but claims of corruption created a massive demonstration in kiev. The orange revolution as it became known then forced a rerun of the election after ukraines highest court ruled that there was indeed electoral corruption. His "poisoned" opponent victor yushchenko winning the rerun comfortably. He was pro west/democracy and in power for 5 years up till 2010. Attempted to join NATO along with georgia, but germany and france vetoed their application as they wanted a more economically friendly relationship with putin instead. He also began preliminary negotiations for ukraine to join the EU.
In 2010 yanukovych won a close run election that was deemed fair by international observers. His 3 years saw the NATO bid scrapped altogether. Increasing oppression of his political opponents. The constitution changed to help that oppression. The jailing of his main political opponent yulia tymoshenko. And the most fateful decision of all to scrap the proposed union with the EU for one with the very country the people voted 92% to leave in 1991.
So not surprisingly the ukranian people werent having any of that so another revolution started late in 2013. This time called the revolution of dignity or maidan.
It began peacefully at first but as the police became more hardline in their approach the numbers demonstrating and the violence grew. Yanukovych, as you would expect from a putin clone, sent in his special police berkut unit to open fire on unarmed demonstrators. 120 died with thousands injured. No way could he survive that bloodbath. He fled, and the folowing morning the duma reformed and voted to strip him of his power and arranged a new election which petro poroshenko later won. The constitution was reinstated and tymoshenko released. Evidence was also found of voting corruption in his abandoned palace casting doubt on his earlier election win.
Since Maidan putin has adopted a much more extreme military approach to achieve that original objective. Culminating in february 22 last year.
.......As for the proxy war and victoria nuland. Was she involved in the 2004 orange revolution as well?

@blackdiamond6077 Various european media archive websites.
Ukraine is not the only country with neo nazi groups. Looking at you russia.
Churchill has a statue and roads named after him and he is now a war criminal to some.
From a website after googling russian propaganda spending. Site that debunks disinfo.
The west doesnt annex territory tho does it. The "war on terror" after 9/11 and other terror attacks on western civilisation isnt meddlng. Its called national security or the protection of a countrys citizens. Bit like putin did to the chechnyan rebels after beslan and other attacks on his people. Although not as brutally.
As for putin the imperialist. Here you go confirming it. Got this from your own propaganda cock up. Pity it got released early.....All available online.

@wellardme The 3 (of the 13) points in the minsk agreement putin refused to recognise.
4. To start a dialogue on interim self-government for the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, in accordance with Ukrainian law, and acknowledge their special status by parliamentary resolution.
9. Restoration of full control of the state border by the government of Ukraine.
10. Withdrawal of all foreign armed formations, military equipment and mercenaries.
Plus the biggest peace deal game breaker of course......invading the very nation the peace deasl was with, and with it a UN recognised sovereign nation.
But of course he doesnt recognise them as a sovereign nation. Which is 100% the reason why he and his fascist/nationalist imperialist supporters want to kill democratic ukraine, especially the democratic bit. He wants to renew his love in again with his beloved ussr. Dictators in search of lost empires. Mussolini, hitler and now putin.

He, amongst many ex soviet hardliners, never recognised that 1991 vote and so set out to return a form of russian domination on all of its former soviet states that had left during the break up of the ussr.
Putins attempts in ukraine began politically with yanukovych in the elections of 2004. His state funded tv media had begun its propaganda methods, not only in russia, but in all the border areas of its former soviet states, including ukraine. Pro russian olgarchs were also financing and involved in it all too. Yanukovych won the 2004 election but claims of corruption created a massive demonstration in kiev. The orange revolution as it became known then forced a rerun of the election after ukraines highest court ruled that there was indeed electoral corruption. His "poisoned" opponent victor yushchenko winning the rerun comfortably. He was pro west/democracy and in power for 5 years up till 2010. Attempted to join NATO along with georgia, but germany and france vetoed their application as they wanted a more economically friendly relationship with putin instead. He also began preliminary negotiations for ukraine to join the EU.
In 2010 yanukovych won a close run election that was deemed fair by international observers. His 3 years saw the NATO bid scrapped altogether. Increasing oppression of his political opponents. The constitution changed to help that oppression. The jailing of his main political opponent yulia tymoshenko. And the most fateful decision of all to scrap the proposed union with the EU for one with the very country the people voted 92% to leave in 1991.
So not surprisingly the ukranian people werent having any of that so another revolution started late in 2013. This time called the revolution of dignity or maidan.
It began peacefully at first but as the police became more hardline in their approach the numbers demonstrating and the violence grew. Yanukovych, as you would expect from a putin clone, sent in his special police berkut unit to open fire on unarmed demonstrators. 120 died with thousands injured. No way could he survive that bloodbath. He fled, and the folowing morning the duma reformed and voted to strip him of his power and arranged a new election which petro poroshenko later won. The constitution was reinstated and tymoshenko released. Evidence was also found of voting corruption in his abandoned palace casting doubt on his earlier election win.
Since Maidan putin has adopted a much more extreme military approach to achieve that original objective. Culminating in february 22 last year.

"There were NO NEW WARS under TRUMP"…In just 2016, at least 49 armed conflicts occurred on the territory of 28 states and territories: Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Colombia, Cyprus, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Egypt, Eritrea, Georgia, Iraq, India, Lebanon, Libya, Mali, Moldova, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan, Palestine, the Philippines, Somalia, South ...from google. If you are refering to putin not invading ukraine back then, it was because he was building up his military ready for the 2022 invasion. Plus russia held an expensive world cup in 2018 as well. Plus he delayed the invasion as well so as not to impede on chinas 2022 olympic games.
I dont hate trump. I hate what he stands for. Which is far right nationalism. Its not insignificant that trump/maga have been cheerleading for putin and his far right nationalist narrative for some time now..

The 3 (of the 13) points in the minsk agreement putin refused to recognise.
4. To start a dialogue on interim self-government for the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, in accordance with Ukrainian law, and acknowledge their special status by parliamentary resolution.
9. Restoration of full control of the state border by the government of Ukraine.
10. Withdrawal of all foreign armed formations, military equipment and mercenaries.
Plus the biggest peace deal game breaker of course......invading the very nation the peace deasl was with, and with it a UN recognised sovereign nation.
But of course he doesnt recognise them as a sovereign nation. Which is 100% the reason why he and his fascist/nationalist imperialist supporters want to kill democratic ukraine, especially the democratic bit. He wants to renew his love in again with his beloved ussr. Dictators in search of lost empires. Mussolini, hitler and now putin.
The 2014-22 genocide that this guy kept claiming was also the reason given by putin for the invasion. So its funny then that the UN monitors present on the frontline those 7 years after minsk never noticed any genocide. Its also funny how putin never raised this genocide at the UN during those 8 years either. It would have brought worldwide condemnation on ukraine. However he did broadcast it to his people through his propaganda to justify the invasion. Hiding from them his true purpose which was simple imperialism. Also nearly all the 14k that died, from both sides, happened during the violence that occured between maidan in early 2014 and the minsk agreement being signed in 2015.
Just a bit of history about ukraine, pre maidan. 80 odd years of russification has to be taken into account. From stalin times through the soviet era up to 1991. Thats why russian culture/language etc was and still is to a degree, ingrained into ukranian culture. In 1991 ukraine voted 92% to leave the union with russia. All the oblasts and regions voted in favour including crimea and the donbas region. Ukraine then followed a similar route as yeltsins russia with attempts at fast tracking democracy and western style capitalism. The lack of legal accountability though ended up with oligarch corruption in both countries. Putin then took over around 2000 in russia. He, amongst many ex soviet hardliners, never recognised that 1991 vote and so set out to return a form of russian domination on all of its former soviet states that had left during the break up of the ussr.

Putins special military disaster has never been about NATO expansion or ukranian nazis committing genocide on ethnic russians. It has always been about russian expansion/imperialism. Evidence of this was given just a few days into the invasion, 28th february when a propaganda article was released early in error.
The Kremlin’s propaganda publication RIA-Novosti accidentally published an article that was to be published after the rapid regime change in Ukraine. It was quickly removed, but the Internet Archive web service managed to save it. It was written by kremlin propagandist petr akopov......Sorry about the length but it wont let me use a link.
A new world is being born before our eyes. Russia’s military operation in Ukraine has ushered in a new era – in three dimensions at once. And of course, in the fourth, internal Russian. Here begins a new period both in ideology and in the very model of our socio-economic system – but this is worth talking about separately a little later.
Russia is restoring its unity; the tragedy of 1991, this terrible catastrophe in our history, its unnatural dislocation, has been overcome. Yes, at a great cost, yes, through the tragic events of a virtual civil war, because now brothers, separated by belonging to the Russian and Ukrainian armies, are still shooting at each other, but there will be no more Ukraine as anti-Russia. Russia is restoring its historical fullness, gathering the Russian world, the Russian people together – in its entirety of Great Russians, Belarusians and Little Russians.
If we had abandoned this, if we had allowed the temporary division to take hold for centuries, then we would not only betray the memory of our ancestors, but would also be cursed by our descendants for allowing the disintegration of the Russian land.
Vladimir Putin has assumed, without a drop of exaggeration, a historic responsibility by deciding not to leave the solution of the Ukrainian question to future generations. After all, the need to solve it would always remain the main problem for Russia – for two key reasons. And the issue of national security, that is, the creation of anti-Russia out of Ukraine and an outpost for the West to put pressure on us, is only the second most important among them.
The first would always be the complex of a divided people, the complex of national humiliation – when the Russian house first lost part of its foundation (Kyiv), and then was forced to come to terms with the existence of two states, not one, but two peoples. That is, either to abandon their history, agreeing with the insane versions that “only Ukraine is the real Rus,” or to gnash one’s teeth helplessly, remembering the times when “we lost Ukraine.” Returning Ukraine, that is, turning it back to Russia, would be more and more difficult with every decade – recoding, de-Russification of Russians and inciting Ukrainian Little Russians against Russians would gain momentum. And in the event of the consolidation of the full geopolitical and military control of the West over Ukraine, its return to Russia would become completely impossible – we would have to fight for it with the Atlantic bloc.
Now this problem is gone – Ukraine has returned to Russia. This does not mean that its statehood will be liquidated, but it will be reorganized, re-established and returned to its natural state as a part of the Russian world. Within what boundaries, in what form will the alliance with Russia be consolidated (through the CSTO and the Eurasian Union or the Union State of Russia and Belarus)? This will be decided after the end is put in the history of Ukraine as anti-Russia. In any case, the period of the split of the Russian people is coming to an end.
Here begins the second dimension of the coming new era – it concerns Russia’s relations with the West. Not even Russia, but the Russian world, that is, three states, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, acting in the geopolitical dimension as a whole. These relations have entered a new stage – the West sees the return of Russia to its historical borders in Europe. And it is loudly indignant at this, although in the depths of his soul it must admit that it could not be otherwise.
Did anyone in the old European capitals, in Paris and Berlin, seriously believe that Moscow would give up Kyiv? That the Russians will forever be a divided people? And at the same time when Europe is uniting, when the German and French elites are trying to seize control of European integration from the Anglo-Saxons and assemble a united Europe? Forgetting that the unification of Europe became possible only thanks to the unification of Germany, which took place according to the good Russian (albeit not very smart) will. To swipe after that also on Russian lands is not even the height of ingratitude, but of geopolitical stupidity. The West as a whole, and even more so Europe in particular, did not have the strength to keep Ukraine in its sphere of influence, and even more so to take Ukraine for itself. In order not to understand this, they had to be just geopolitical fools.
More precisely, there was only one option: to bet on the further collapse of Russia, that is, the Russian Federation. However, the fact that it did not work should have been clear twenty years ago. Moreover, already fifteen years ago, after Putin’s Munich speech, even the deaf could hear – Russia is returning.
Now the West is trying to punish Russia for the fact that it returned, for not justifying its plans to profit at its expense, for not allowing the expansion of the western space to the east. Seeking to punish us, the West thinks that relations with it are of vital importance to us. However, this has not been the case for a long time already – the world has changed, and this is well understood not only by Europeans, but also by the Anglo-Saxons who rule the West. No amount of Western pressure on Russia will lead to anything. Losses from the sublimation of confrontation will be on both sides, but Russia is ready for them morally and geopolitically. Nevertheless, for the West itself, an increase in the degree of confrontation incurs huge costs – and the main ones are not at all economic.
Europe, as part of the West, wanted autonomy – the German project of European integration does not make strategic sense while maintaining the Anglo-Saxon ideological, military and geopolitical control over the Old World. Moreover, it cannot be successful, because the Anglo-Saxons need a controlled Europe. However, Europe needs autonomy for another reason as well — in case the States go into self-isolation (as a result of growing internal conflicts and contradictions) or focus on the Pacific region, where the geopolitical center of gravity is moving.
The confrontation with Russia, into which the Anglo-Saxons are dragging Europe, deprives the Europeans of even the chances of independence – not to mention the fact that in the same way Europe is trying to impose a break with China. If now the Atlanticists are happy that the “Russian threat” will unite the Western bloc, then in Berlin and Paris they cannot fail to understand that, having lost hope for autonomy, the European project will simply collapse in the medium term. That is why independent-minded Europeans are now completely uninterested in building a new iron curtain on their eastern borders – realizing that it will turn into a corral for Europe. Whose age (more precisely, half a millennium) of global leadership is over in any case – but various options for its future are still possible.
Because the construction of a new world order – and this is the third dimension of current events – is accelerating, and its contours are more and more clearly visible through the spreading cover of Anglo-Saxon globalization. The multipolar world has finally become a reality – the operation in Ukraine is not capable of rallying anyone but the West against Russia. Because the rest of the world sees and understands perfectly well – this is a conflict between Russia and the West, this is a response to the geopolitical expansion of the Atlanticists, this is Russia’s return of its historical space and its place in the world.
China and India, Latin America and Africa, the Islamic world and Southeast Asia – no one believes that the West leads the world order, much less sets the rules of the game. Russia has not only challenged the West, it has shown that the era of Western global domination can be considered completely and finally over. The new world will be built by all civilizations and centers of power, naturally, together with the West (united or not) – but not on its terms and not according to its rules.
Imperialism. Plain and simple.

Correct about putin wrong about NATO.. The NATO narrative is just one of the excuse he uses to justify his special military disaster. Ukranian nazis, genocide in the donbass are the 2 others. The real reason is simple. Imperialism. It was known just a few days into the invasion when.......
The Kremlin’s propaganda publication RIA-Novosti accidentally published an article that was to be published after the rapid regime change in Ukraine. It was quickly removed, but the Internet Archive web service managed to save it. It was written by kremlin propagandist petr akopov......Sorry about the length but it wont let me use a link. Its long but it describes exactly why putin is invading ukraine. The "little russians" are the ukranians and the "greater russians" not surprisingly are describing themselves.

That is, either to abandon their history, agreeing with the insane versions that “only Ukraine is the real Rus,” or to gnash one’s teeth helplessly, remembering the times when “we lost Ukraine.” Returning Ukraine, that is, turning it back to Russia, would be more and more difficult with every decade – recoding, de-Russification of Russians and inciting Ukrainian Little Russians against Russians would gain momentum. And in the event of the consolidation of the full geopolitical and military control of the West over Ukraine, its return to Russia would become completely impossible – we would have to fight for it with the Atlantic bloc.
Now this problem is gone – Ukraine has returned to Russia. This does not mean that its statehood will be liquidated, but it will be reorganized, re-established and returned to its natural state as a part of the Russian world. Within what boundaries, in what form will the alliance with Russia be consolidated (through the CSTO and the Eurasian Union or the Union State of Russia and Belarus)? This will be decided after the end is put in the history of Ukraine as anti-Russia. In any case, the period of the split of the Russian people is coming to an end.
Here begins the second dimension of the coming new era – it concerns Russia’s relations with the West. Not even Russia, but the Russian world, that is, three states, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, acting in the geopolitical dimension as a whole. These relations have entered a new stage – the West sees the return of Russia to its historical borders in Europe. And it is loudly indignant at this, although in the depths of his soul it must admit that it could not be otherwise.
Did anyone in the old European capitals, in Paris and Berlin, seriously believe that Moscow would give up Kyiv? That the Russians will forever be a divided people? And at the same time when Europe is uniting, when the German and French elites are trying to seize control of European integration from the Anglo-Saxons and assemble a united Europe? Forgetting that the unification of Europe became possible only thanks to the unification of Germany, which took place according to the good Russian (albeit not very smart) will. To swipe after that also on Russian lands is not even the height of ingratitude, but of geopolitical stupidity. The West as a whole, and even more so Europe in particular, did not have the strength to keep Ukraine in its sphere of influence, and even more so to take Ukraine for itself. In order not to understand this, they had to be just geopolitical fools.
More precisely, there was only one option: to bet on the further collapse of Russia, that is, the Russian Federation. However, the fact that it did not work should have been clear twenty years ago. Moreover, already fifteen years ago, after Putin’s Munich speech, even the deaf could hear – Russia is returning.
Now the West is trying to punish Russia for the fact that it returned, for not justifying its plans to profit at its expense, for not allowing the expansion of the western space to the east. Seeking to punish us, the West thinks that relations with it are of vital importance to us. However, this has not been the case for a long time already – the world has changed, and this is well understood not only by Europeans, but also by the Anglo-Saxons who rule the West. No amount of Western pressure on Russia will lead to anything. Losses from the sublimation of confrontation will be on both sides, but Russia is ready for them morally and geopolitically. Nevertheless, for the West itself, an increase in the degree of confrontation incurs huge costs – and the main ones are not at all economic.
Europe, as part of the West, wanted autonomy – the German project of European integration does not make strategic sense while maintaining the Anglo-Saxon ideological, military and geopolitical control over the Old World. Moreover, it cannot be successful, because the Anglo-Saxons need a controlled Europe. However, Europe needs autonomy for another reason as well — in case the States go into self-isolation (as a result of growing internal conflicts and contradictions) or focus on the Pacific region, where the geopolitical center of gravity is moving.
The confrontation with Russia, into which the Anglo-Saxons are dragging Europe, deprives the Europeans of even the chances of independence – not to mention the fact that in the same way Europe is trying to impose a break with China. If now the Atlanticists are happy that the “Russian threat” will unite the Western bloc, then in Berlin and Paris they cannot fail to understand that, having lost hope for autonomy, the European project will simply collapse in the medium term. That is why independent-minded Europeans are now completely uninterested in building a new iron curtain on their eastern borders – realizing that it will turn into a corral for Europe. Whose age (more precisely, half a millennium) of global leadership is over in any case – but various options for its future are still possible.
Because the construction of a new world order – and this is the third dimension of current events – is accelerating, and its contours are more and more clearly visible through the spreading cover of Anglo-Saxon globalization. The multipolar world has finally become a reality – the operation in Ukraine is not capable of rallying anyone but the West against Russia. Because the rest of the world sees and understands perfectly well – this is a conflict between Russia and the West, this is a response to the geopolitical expansion of the Atlanticists, this is Russia’s return of its historical space and its place in the world.
China and India, Latin America and Africa, the Islamic world and Southeast Asia – no one believes that the West leads the world order, much less sets the rules of the game. Russia has not only challenged the West, it has shown that the era of Western global domination can be considered completely and finally over. The new world will be built by all civilizations and centers of power, naturally, together with the West (united or not) – but not on its terms and not according to its rules.
Imperialism. Plain and simple.

"It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us,that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
Abraham lincoln.................The above quote is now directly under threat. Now its more like the government of maga, by maga, for maga shall not perish.

Putins special military disaster has never been about NATO expansion or ukranian nazis committing genocide on ethnic russians. It has always been about russian expansion/imperialism. Evidence of this was given just a few days into the invasion, 28th february when a propaganda article was released early in error.
The Kremlin’s propaganda publication RIA-Novosti accidentally published an article that was to be published after the rapid regime change in Ukraine. It was quickly removed, but the Internet Archive web service managed to save it. It was written by kremlin propagandist petr akopov......Sorry about the length but it wont let me use a link.
A new world is being born before our eyes. Russia’s military operation in Ukraine has ushered in a new era – in three dimensions at once. And of course, in the fourth, internal Russian. Here begins a new period both in ideology and in the very model of our socio-economic system – but this is worth talking about separately a little later.
Russia is restoring its unity; the tragedy of 1991, this terrible catastrophe in our history, its unnatural dislocation, has been overcome. Yes, at a great cost, yes, through the tragic events of a virtual civil war, because now brothers, separated by belonging to the Russian and Ukrainian armies, are still shooting at each other, but there will be no more Ukraine as anti-Russia. Russia is restoring its historical fullness, gathering the Russian world, the Russian people together – in its entirety of Great Russians, Belarusians and Little Russians.
If we had abandoned this, if we had allowed the temporary division to take hold for centuries, then we would not only betray the memory of our ancestors, but would also be cursed by our descendants for allowing the disintegration of the Russian land.
Vladimir Putin has assumed, without a drop of exaggeration, a historic responsibility by deciding not to leave the solution of the Ukrainian question to future generations. After all, the need to solve it would always remain the main problem for Russia – for two key reasons. And the issue of national security, that is, the creation of anti-Russia out of Ukraine and an outpost for the West to put pressure on us, is only the second most important among them.
The first would always be the complex of a divided people, the complex of national humiliation – when the Russian house first lost part of its foundation (Kyiv), and then was forced to come to terms with the existence of two states, not one, but two peoples. That is, either to abandon their history, agreeing with the insane versions that “only Ukraine is the real Rus,” or to gnash one’s teeth helplessly, remembering the times when “we lost Ukraine.” Returning Ukraine, that is, turning it back to Russia, would be more and more difficult with every decade – recoding, de-Russification of Russians and inciting Ukrainian Little Russians against Russians would gain momentum. And in the event of the consolidation of the full geopolitical and military control of the West over Ukraine, its return to Russia would become completely impossible – we would have to fight for it with the Atlantic bloc.

This does not mean that its statehood will be liquidated, but it will be reorganized, re-established and returned to its natural state as a part of the Russian world. Within what boundaries, in what form will the alliance with Russia be consolidated (through the CSTO and the Eurasian Union or the Union State of Russia and Belarus)? This will be decided after the end is put in the history of Ukraine as anti-Russia. In any case, the period of the split of the Russian people is coming to an end.

Russia has not only challenged the West, it has shown that the era of Western global domination can be considered completely and finally over. The new world will be built by all civilizations and centers of power, naturally, together with the West (united or not) – but not on its terms and not according to its rules.

@fortnitepros8025 You forgot warsaw i notice. Plus german bombers bombed london in error from which then churchill retaliated with a bombing on berlin.
Navigational errors, British counter-measures, and air-crew exhaustion prompted the bombers to overshoot their targets and mistakenly fly on towards blacked-out London in the early morning hours of 25 August. While most of the bombers dropped their explosives around the docks of East Ham and West Ham, justified military targets, there were a scattering of others that mistakenly bracketed central London with their bombs – 16 miles west in Staines, 12 miles south-west in Esher, and 8 miles north in north London.
Additionally, there was one lone Heinkel that just so happened to drop its payload of approximately eight bombs, totalling two tons, directly on the financial heart of London: Fore Street in the Barbican. For the first time since the Zeppelin raids in World War I, in addition to factories and other military targets, the night sky of London glowed red from the flames of hundreds of burning homes.
Interpreting the attack as deliberate rather than accidental, Churchill immediately and forcefully responded to the London bombing with a ‘massive’ retaliatory strike against the Nazi capital. This massive attack resulted in 2 injured and one zoo elephant killed. The result did have the effect of hitler changing their srategy from attacking airfields to
carpet bombing civilians and flattening cities including my own of plymouth.

Russia has not only challenged the West, it has shown that the era of Western global domination can be considered completely and finally over. The new world will be built by all civilizations and centers of power, naturally, together with the West (united or not) – but not on its terms and not according to its rules".
It was never about ukranian nazis, nato expansion or the supposed donbas genocide. It was imperialism. Plain and simple. A return to the soviet empire of which putin was a part of in the kgb. He has been trying since he came to power. Politically at first with his puppet yanukovych and then militarily after maidan removed him.

It should be the ukranians who decide to negotiate. It is their country that is being invaded and annexed. It is their people that are fighting and dying for their independance from russian control. Therefore it should be them that decide. We should be supporting them as much as we can until that decision is made. As for the west using ukraine go and ask ukranians if they are being used as proxies. The NATO expansion is nothing to do with the invasion. It has been proved hence the history lesson by putin that this invasion is imperialist in nature.
The Kremlin’s propaganda publication RIA-Novosti accidentally published an article on 26th february 2022 that was to be published after the rapid regime change in Ukraine. It was quickly removed, but the Internet Archive web service managed to save it. It was written by kremlin propagandist petr akopov......Sorry about the length but it wont let me use a link.
A new world is being born before our eyes. Russia’s military operation in Ukraine has ushered in a new era – in three dimensions at once. And of course, in the fourth, internal Russian. Here begins a new period both in ideology and in the very model of our socio-economic system – but this is worth talking about separately a little later.
Russia is restoring its unity; the tragedy of 1991, this terrible catastrophe in our history, its unnatural dislocation, has been overcome. Yes, at a great cost, yes, through the tragic events of a virtual civil war, because now brothers, separated by belonging to the Russian and Ukrainian armies, are still shooting at each other, but there will be no more Ukraine as anti-Russia. Russia is restoring its historical fullness, gathering the Russian world, the Russian people together – in its entirety of Great Russians, Belarusians and Little Russians.
If we had abandoned this, if we had allowed the temporary division to take hold for centuries, then we would not only betray the memory of our ancestors, but would also be cursed by our descendants for allowing the disintegration of the Russian land.
Vladimir Putin has assumed, without a drop of exaggeration, a historic responsibility by deciding not to leave the solution of the Ukrainian question to future generations. After all, the need to solve it would always remain the main problem for Russia – for two key reasons. And the issue of national security, that is, the creation of anti-Russia out of Ukraine and an outpost for the West to put pressure on us, is only the second most important among them.
The first would always be the complex of a divided people, the complex of national humiliation – when the Russian house first lost part of its foundation (Kyiv), and then was forced to come to terms with the existence of two states, not one, but two peoples. That is, either to abandon their history, agreeing with the insane versions that “only Ukraine is the real Rus,” or to gnash one’s teeth helplessly, remembering the times when “we lost Ukraine.” Returning Ukraine, that is, turning it back to Russia, would be more and more difficult with every decade – recoding, de-Russification of Russians and inciting Ukrainian Little Russians against Russians would gain momentum. And in the event of the consolidation of the full geopolitical and military control of the West over Ukraine, its return to Russia would become completely impossible – we would have to fight for it with the Atlantic bloc.
Now this problem is gone – Ukraine has returned to Russia. This does not mean that its statehood will be liquidated, but it will be reorganized, re-established and returned to its natural state as a part of the Russian world. Within what boundaries, in what form will the alliance with Russia be consolidated (through the CSTO and the Eurasian Union or the Union State of Russia and Belarus)? This will be decided after the end is put in the history of Ukraine as anti-Russia. In any case, the period of the split of the Russian people is coming to an end.
Here begins the second dimension of the coming new era – it concerns Russia’s relations with the West. Not even Russia, but the Russian world, that is, three states, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, acting in the geopolitical dimension as a whole. These relations have entered a new stage – the West sees the return of Russia to its historical borders in Europe. And it is loudly indignant at this, although in the depths of his soul it must admit that it could not be otherwise.
Did anyone in the old European capitals, in Paris and Berlin, seriously believe that Moscow would give up Kyiv? That the Russians will forever be a divided people? And at the same time when Europe is uniting, when the German and French elites are trying to seize control of European integration from the Anglo-Saxons and assemble a united Europe? Forgetting that the unification of Europe became possible only thanks to the unification of Germany, which took place according to the good Russian (albeit not very smart) will. To swipe after that also on Russian lands is not even the height of ingratitude, but of geopolitical stupidity. The West as a whole, and even more so Europe in particular, did not have the strength to keep Ukraine in its sphere of influence, and even more so to take Ukraine for itself. In order not to understand this, they had to be just geopolitical fools.
More precisely, there was only one option: to bet on the further collapse of Russia, that is, the Russian Federation. However, the fact that it did not work should have been clear twenty years ago. Moreover, already fifteen years ago, after Putin’s Munich speech, even the deaf could hear – Russia is returning.
Now the West is trying to punish Russia for the fact that it returned, for not justifying its plans to profit at its expense, for not allowing the expansion of the western space to the east. Seeking to punish us, the West thinks that relations with it are of vital importance to us. However, this has not been the case for a long time already – the world has changed, and this is well understood not only by Europeans, but also by the Anglo-Saxons who rule the West. No amount of Western pressure on Russia will lead to anything. Losses from the sublimation of confrontation will be on both sides, but Russia is ready for them morally and geopolitically. Nevertheless, for the West itself, an increase in the degree of confrontation incurs huge costs – and the main ones are not at all economic.
Europe, as part of the West, wanted autonomy – the German project of European integration does not make strategic sense while maintaining the Anglo-Saxon ideological, military and geopolitical control over the Old World. Moreover, it cannot be successful, because the Anglo-Saxons need a controlled Europe. However, Europe needs autonomy for another reason as well — in case the States go into self-isolation (as a result of growing internal conflicts and contradictions) or focus on the Pacific region, where the geopolitical center of gravity is moving.
The confrontation with Russia, into which the Anglo-Saxons are dragging Europe, deprives the Europeans of even the chances of independence – not to mention the fact that in the same way Europe is trying to impose a break with China. If now the Atlanticists are happy that the “Russian threat” will unite the Western bloc, then in Berlin and Paris they cannot fail to understand that, having lost hope for autonomy, the European project will simply collapse in the medium term. That is why independent-minded Europeans are now completely uninterested in building a new iron curtain on their eastern borders – realizing that it will turn into a corral for Europe. Whose age (more precisely, half a millennium) of global leadership is over in any case – but various options for its future are still possible.
Because the construction of a new world order – and this is the third dimension of current events – is accelerating, and its contours are more and more clearly visible through the spreading cover of Anglo-Saxon globalization. The multipolar world has finally become a reality – the operation in Ukraine is not capable of rallying anyone but the West against Russia. Because the rest of the world sees and understands perfectly well – this is a conflict between Russia and the West, this is a response to the geopolitical expansion of the Atlanticists, this is Russia’s return of its historical space and its place in the world.
China and India, Latin America and Africa, the Islamic world and Southeast Asia – no one believes that the West leads the world order, much less sets the rules of the game. Russia has not only challenged the West, it has shown that the era of Western global domination can be considered completely and finally over. The new world will be built by all civilizations and centers of power, naturally, together with the West (united or not) – but not on its terms and not according to its rules.
Imperialism ...plain and simple.

@StephenDavies43 Nah. 28th february 2022. Putins propaganda gave it away in error. Imperialism. Recreating the soviet/russian empire was the aim. Probably still is.
The Kremlin’s propaganda publication RIA-Novosti accidentally published an article that was to be published after the rapid regime change in Ukraine. It was quickly removed, but the Internet Archive web service managed to save it. It was written by kremlin propagandist petr akopov......Sorry about the length but it wont let me use a link.

The new world will be built by all civilizations and centers of power, naturally, together with the West (united or not) – but not on its terms and not according to its rules.

You lost all credibility for me as soon as i started reading. All of the former far right militias including azov have long been brought under the control of their professsional army. The far right in ukraine polled less then 2% in their last election with no mps elected. Far less than other democracies. Zelenskys party is centre left and poroshenkos is in the centre. You obviously need a history lesson on ukraine and why putin wants to control it.
Just a bit of history about ukraine, pre maidan. 80 odd years of russification has to be taken into account. From stalin times through the soviet era up to 1991. Thats why russian culture/language etc was and still is to a degree, ingrained into ukranian culture. In 1991 ukraine voted 92% to leave the union with russia. All the oblasts and regions voted in favour including crimea and the donbas region. Ukraine then followed a similar route as yeltsins russia with attempts at fast tracking democracy and western style capitalism. The lack of legal accountability though ended up with oligarch corruption in both countries. Putin then took over around 2000 in russia. He, amongst many ex soviet hardliners, never recognised that 1991 vote and so set out to return a form of russian domination on all of its former soviet states that had left during the break up of the ussr.
Putins attempts in ukraine began politically with yanukovych in the elections of 2004. His state funded tv media had begun its propaganda methods, not only in russia, but in all the border areas of its former soviet states, including ukraine. Pro russian olgarchs were also financing and involved in it all too. Yanukovych won the 2004 election but claims of corruption created a massive demonstration in kiev. The orange revolution as it became known then forced a rerun of the election after ukraines highest court ruled that there was indeed electoral corruption. His "poisoned" opponent victor yushchenko winning the rerun comfortably. He was pro west/democracy and in power for 5 years up till 2010. Attempted to join NATO along with georgia, but germany and france vetoed their application as they wanted a more economically friendly relationship with putin instead. He also began preliminary negotiations for ukraine to join the EU.
In 2010 yanukovych won a close run election that was deemed fair by international observers. His 3 years saw the NATO bid scrapped altogether. Increasing oppression of his political opponents. The constitution changed to help that oppression. The jailing of his main political opponent yulia tymoshenko. And the most fateful decision of all to scrap the proposed union with the EU for one with the very country the people voted 92% to leave in 1991.
So not surprisingly the ukranian people werent having any of that so another revolution started late in 2013. This time called the revolution of dignity or maidan.
It began peacefully at first but as the police became more hardline in their approach the numbers demonstrating and the violence grew. Yanukovych, as you would expect from a putin clone, sent in his special police berkut unit to open fire on unarmed demonstrators. 120 died with thousands injured. No way could he survive that bloodbath. He fled, and the folowing morning the duma reformed and voted to strip him of his power and arranged a new election which petro poroshenko later won. The constitution was reinstated and tymoshenko released. Evidence was also found of voting corruption in his abandoned palace casting doubt on his earlier election win.
Since Maidan putin has adopted a much more extreme military approach to achieve that original objective. Culminating in february 22 last year.

Putin is 100% at fault for this conflict! Period!
Heres putin in action again with the minsk 2015 peace agreement.
The 3 (of the 13) points in the minsk agreement putin refused to recognise.
4. To start a dialogue on interim self-government for the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, in accordance with Ukrainian law, and acknowledge their special status by parliamentary resolution.
9. Restoration of full control of the state border by the government of Ukraine.
10. Withdrawal of all foreign armed formations, military equipment and mercenaries.
Plus the biggest peace deal game breaker of course......invading the very nation the peace deasl was with, and with it a UN recognised sovereign nation.
But of course he doesnt recognise them as a sovereign nation. Which is 100% the reason why he and his fascist/nationalist imperialist supporters want to kill democratic ukraine, especially the democratic bit. He wants to renew his love in again with his beloved ussr. Dictators in search of lost empires. Mussolini, hitler and now putin.

@sombra1111 Maybe if hamas hadnt suicide bombed israeli civilians for several years then the need for checkpoints, walls, fences and tight security might have been averted. So hamas turned to continually firing rockets indiscriminately instead. Israel then responded to that with the iron dome. So then hamas upped their terror to full on invasion with ethnic cleansing. So thats suicide bombings, indiscriminately fired rockets and ethnic cleansing. All targetting civilians. All despicable war cimes/crimes against humanity. So not surprisingly israel responded to all of the above, as they are allowed to by international law,.Its called national security or the protection of its own citizens. Proportionality of the targetted military response is the only thing that israel has to answer for. And that is very debatable as has been seen in the past with fallujah and putin with grozny, aleppo and mariupol. Plus the NATO bombing in former yugoslavia. The geneva convention also mentions the parties involved must attempt to warn and prevent civilian casualties as much as possible. Israel has been warning and leafletting palestinians in gaza for 3 weeks now to move south of the wadi gaza. Plus israel are sacrificing their own soldiers in a ground invasion to prevent civilian losses. None of this was done in the earier conflict resolutions i mentioned above. The thing that i really want to know though, is what is the palestinian end game here supposed to be? When hamas charter clearly states this....Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea” — i.e., the annihilation of Israel. The charter says: “The Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight Jews and kill them.” So no negotiation and 2 state solution. So please describe to me your alternative? Also please describe to me why i, who supports a 2 state solution, should support that end game method?

Dude this propaganda is 2 years out of date. Everybody knows putin did it for imperialist purposes. We knew it feb 28th 2022.
Putins special military disaster has never been about NATO expansion or ukranian nazis committing genocide on ethnic russians. It has always been about russian expansion/imperialism. Evidence of this was given just a few days into the invasion, 28th february when a propaganda article was released early in error.
The Kremlin’s propaganda publication RIA-Novosti accidentally published an article that was to be published after the rapid regime change in Ukraine. It was quickly removed, but the Internet Archive web service managed to save it. It was written by kremlin propagandist petr akopov......Sorry about the length but it wont let me use a link.
A new world is being born before our eyes. Russia’s military operation in Ukraine has ushered in a new era – in three dimensions at once. And of course, in the fourth, internal Russian. Here begins a new period both in ideology and in the very model of our socio-economic system – but this is worth talking about separately a little later.
Russia is restoring its unity; the tragedy of 1991, this terrible catastrophe in our history, its unnatural dislocation, has been overcome. Yes, at a great cost, yes, through the tragic events of a virtual civil war, because now brothers, separated by belonging to the Russian and Ukrainian armies, are still shooting at each other, but there will be no more Ukraine as anti-Russia. Russia is restoring its historical fullness, gathering the Russian world, the Russian people together – in its entirety of Great Russians, Belarusians and Little Russians.
If we had abandoned this, if we had allowed the temporary division to take hold for centuries, then we would not only betray the memory of our ancestors, but would also be cursed by our descendants for allowing the disintegration of the Russian land.
Vladimir Putin has assumed, without a drop of exaggeration, a historic responsibility by deciding not to leave the solution of the Ukrainian question to future generations. After all, the need to solve it would always remain the main problem for Russia – for two key reasons. And the issue of national security, that is, the creation of anti-Russia out of Ukraine and an outpost for the West to put pressure on us, is only the second most important among them.
The first would always be the complex of a divided people, the complex of national humiliation – when the Russian house first lost part of its foundation (Kyiv), and then was forced to come to terms with the existence of two states, not one, but two peoples. That is, either to abandon their history, agreeing with the insane versions that “only Ukraine is the real Rus,” or to gnash one’s teeth helplessly, remembering the times when “we lost Ukraine.” Returning Ukraine, that is, turning it back to Russia, would be more and more difficult with every decade – recoding, de-Russification of Russians and inciting Ukrainian Little Russians against Russians would gain momentum. And in the event of the consolidation of the full geopolitical and military control of the West over Ukraine, its return to Russia would become completely impossible – we would have to fight for it with the Atlantic bloc.
Now this problem is gone – Ukraine has returned to Russia. This does not mean that its statehood will be liquidated, but it will be reorganized, re-established and returned to its natural state as a part of the Russian world. Within what boundaries, in what form will the alliance with Russia be consolidated (through the CSTO and the Eurasian Union or the Union State of Russia and Belarus)? This will be decided after the end is put in the history of Ukraine as anti-Russia. In any case, the period of the split of the Russian people is coming to an end.
Here begins the second dimension of the coming new era – it concerns Russia’s relations with the West. Not even Russia, but the Russian world, that is, three states, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, acting in the geopolitical dimension as a whole. These relations have entered a new stage – the West sees the return of Russia to its historical borders in Europe. And it is loudly indignant at this, although in the depths of his soul it must admit that it could not be otherwise.
Did anyone in the old European capitals, in Paris and Berlin, seriously believe that Moscow would give up Kyiv? That the Russians will forever be a divided people? And at the same time when Europe is uniting, when the German and French elites are trying to seize control of European integration from the Anglo-Saxons and assemble a united Europe? Forgetting that the unification of Europe became possible only thanks to the unification of Germany, which took place according to the good Russian (albeit not very smart) will. To swipe after that also on Russian lands is not even the height of ingratitude, but of geopolitical stupidity. The West as a whole, and even more so Europe in particular, did not have the strength to keep Ukraine in its sphere of influence, and even more so to take Ukraine for itself. In order not to understand this, they had to be just geopolitical fools.
More precisely, there was only one option: to bet on the further collapse of Russia, that is, the Russian Federation. However, the fact that it did not work should have been clear twenty years ago. Moreover, already fifteen years ago, after Putin’s Munich speech, even the deaf could hear – Russia is returning.
Now the West is trying to punish Russia for the fact that it returned, for not justifying its plans to profit at its expense, for not allowing the expansion of the western space to the east. Seeking to punish us, the West thinks that relations with it are of vital importance to us. However, this has not been the case for a long time already – the world has changed, and this is well understood not only by Europeans, but also by the Anglo-Saxons who rule the West. No amount of Western pressure on Russia will lead to anything. Losses from the sublimation of confrontation will be on both sides, but Russia is ready for them morally and geopolitically. Nevertheless, for the West itself, an increase in the degree of confrontation incurs huge costs – and the main ones are not at all economic.
Europe, as part of the West, wanted autonomy – the German project of European integration does not make strategic sense while maintaining the Anglo-Saxon ideological, military and geopolitical control over the Old World. Moreover, it cannot be successful, because the Anglo-Saxons need a controlled Europe. However, Europe needs autonomy for another reason as well — in case the States go into self-isolation (as a result of growing internal conflicts and contradictions) or focus on the Pacific region, where the geopolitical center of gravity is moving.
The confrontation with Russia, into which the Anglo-Saxons are dragging Europe, deprives the Europeans of even the chances of independence – not to mention the fact that in the same way Europe is trying to impose a break with China. If now the Atlanticists are happy that the “Russian threat” will unite the Western bloc, then in Berlin and Paris they cannot fail to understand that, having lost hope for autonomy, the European project will simply collapse in the medium term. That is why independent-minded Europeans are now completely uninterested in building a new iron curtain on their eastern borders – realizing that it will turn into a corral for Europe. Whose age (more precisely, half a millennium) of global leadership is over in any case – but various options for its future are still possible.
Because the construction of a new world order – and this is the third dimension of current events – is accelerating, and its contours are more and more clearly visible through the spreading cover of Anglo-Saxon globalization. The multipolar world has finally become a reality – the operation in Ukraine is not capable of rallying anyone but the West against Russia. Because the rest of the world sees and understands perfectly well – this is a conflict between Russia and the West, this is a response to the geopolitical expansion of the Atlanticists, this is Russia’s return of its historical space and its place in the world.
China and India, Latin America and Africa, the Islamic world and Southeast Asia – no one believes that the West leads the world order, much less sets the rules of the game. Russia has not only challenged the West, it has shown that the era of Western global domination can be considered completely and finally over. The new world will be built by all civilizations and centers of power, naturally, together with the West (united or not) – but not on its terms and not according to its rules.

The little russians he describes are the ukranians and unsurprisingly they describe themselves as the greater russians.

Imperialism. Plain and simple.

Actually a large movement of arabs moved to the region as immigrant workers to build infrastructure projects for the french and british empires. The palestine population doubled at the same time as the jewish population did. Both through immigration.
Population of Palestine, 1922–1945
Year Muslims Christians Jews Total
1922 589,177 73,024 83,790 757,182
1931 759,717 91,398 174,610 1,035,821
1945 1,061,270 135,550 553,600 1,764,520
By 1948, the population had risen to 1,900,000, of whom 68% were Arabs, and 32% were Jews
