1908–1914
In 1908, Austria annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was hugely provocative against the Slavs (Russia) and especially against the South Slavs (Serbia) They annexed it from the declining Ottoman Empire, but Serbia felt that they should be the ones to annex it from the Ottomans, and, more importantly Russia felt that Serbia should be ones to annex it, that Bosnia and Herzegovina were slavic, and should have been annexed by slavs.
Austria got away with this because Austria and Germany danced towards a world war, and a world war being then as now unthinkable, Russia and Serbia backed down. But they seethed, and continued to seeth.
In 1914 June 28th, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary toured Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Touring it was a little bit provocative, and touring it on June 28th was extremely provocative, for June 28 was St. Vitus’ Day** (Vidovdan) in the Serbian Orthodox calendar. This date commemorates the Battle of Kosovo Polje in 1389. In this battle, Serbian Prince Lazar was defeated by the Ottoman Empire. The battle became a central myth of Serbian national identity, symbolizing sacrifice, martyrdom, and resistance against foreign rule. For Serbian nationalists, June 28 was a day of profound national mourning and pride. It was a deeply symbolic date representing the struggle for Serbian sovereignty.
Serbia assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand using a proxy force. While piously disowning responsibility, they publicly celebrated the assassination as a “Kosovo revenge”. This cemented the date’s legacy as a symbol of resistance against Austria-Hungary, making it perfectly obvious to everyone whose proxy it was, not that everyone did not already know. What the world then did not know was that Russia also had a hand in the assassination.
Austria rationally feared that if they let this assassination slide, further and even more drastic provocations would follow, with the aim of regaining Bosnia and Herzegovina for Serbia (after five centuries). Austria therefore issued an ultimatum demanding that Austrian police be allowed into Serbia to investigate the assassination, which everyone knew would reveal it to be a Serbian assassination, and did not know would reveal it to be a combined Russian and Serbian assassination.
Austria and Germany had gotten what they wanted by dancing towards World War in 1908, and now Russia and Serbia were dancing towards war expecting to get what they wanted if they kept on dancing, but expecting no World War to ensue, because World War was then, as now, unthinkable.
Germany backed the Austrian ultimatum.
In response to the ultimatum, and in response to Germany backing the ultimatum, Russia mobilised, which was hugely provocative against not only Austria, but also Germany. At this point, still no one, least of all Russia, expected World War I. But everyone was dancing towards World War, in the expectation that the other side would back down. After all, Russia and Serbia backed down last time. The West expected them to back down again. Russia and Serbia expected Austria to back down, and Bosnia and Herzegovina would continue to stew with conflict short of outright war, with low level deniable warfare, until eventually the declining Austrian empire would eventually decide that empire was just too much grief. The slavs had waited five centuries. They expected to wait many more decades of slowly increasing pressure on Austria. The Ottoman empire had declined, the Austrian empire was declining. They perceived themselves as patient. Time was on their side. Austria and Germany perceived them as impatient. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was far too much, and they knew that Serbia and Russia intended that worse was to come in coming years and coming decades.
Everyone continued to dance towards World War, in the expectation that it could never happen, and the other side would just have to back down. Because World War was just unthinkable. Dancing in the direction of World War was perfectly safe, because it just could not possibly happen. No one wanted World War. No one expected World War. Such a terrible and costly outcome was unthinkable, so dancing towards it was merely cost free dick swinging. Hey, my dick is bigger than your dick, because I can dance closer to the precipice than you dare to dance.
And then they looked down, and found that they had already danced over the precipice.
2014–present
Globohomo never wanted high level war with Russia. They always wanted to slow cook the frog with never ending low level not-quite-war.
But Russia is unwilling to accept low level not-quite-war, which they perceive as an effort by Globohomo to impose on Russia a government that hates Russians even more than the British government hates Britons, by many steps, each step short of World War three.
The west had broken the deal that led to the dissolution of the Soviet Empire. The west has long felt that Russia is an artificial entity, that the Russian language, the Russian identity, and the Russian religion is an artificial imposition upon the diverse peoples of the Russian empire, that this should be reversed, and that the dissolution of the Soviet Empire was merely the first step of many steps towards reversing it.
Globohomo intended many more steps, and Russia and Russians have been getting paranoid and hostile about this.
The Russian identity originally was an artificial imposition, but the Russian empire has successfully combined great brutality against rebels with great generosity towards defeated rebels, and today, it is the identity that Russians received through their mother’s arms. Russia and Russians fear and resent this western attitude, the attitude that the existence of Russia and the Russian identity is a wrong that social justice demands should be remedied.. This is a long standing centuries old issue, just as Bosnia and Herzegovina was a long standing centuries old issue. And Nato advance eastwards forcefully reminded Russia and Russians of this long standing issue.
The Globohomo Empire hates the British identity, the American identity, the Australian identity, the French identity, and seeks to destroy all of them, but it hates the Russian identity more than any of them and has hated that identity for longer than it has hated any other. The British left was complaining about the Russian identity centuries before it was complaining about the British identity.
Just as American leftists hate white Americans for being American, they hate Russians even more for being Russian.
In 2014, the Party of the Regions was governing Ukraine, as a result of it repeatedly winning elections, including elections organised by its enemies. This was a Putin like party. It supported the Russian language in Ukraine, the Russian Orthodox Religion, and ties with Russia. It felt that following the fall of the Soviet Union, the Ukraine and Russia had been looted by European and American carry-on baggers, resulting in a massive drop in fertility, a massive reduction of life expectancy, and a massive rise of alcoholism, drug addiction, and death by despair. It also pursued joining the European Union, but when the EU told them they would have to cut economic ties with Russia, which would have massively disrupted Ukrainian industry, they told the EU to go pound sand.
And when they told the EU to go pound sand, European and American NGOs launched the Maidan coup against the government.
Supposedly this was not a coup but “The Revolution of Dignity”, but Maidan consisted of murder and terror by supposedly non state actors (analogous to BLM and Antifa, proxies of the Democratic Party and blue state governments, in America) against the Party of the Regions, and in 2015 state proxy terror was replaced by direct state enforcement. The Party of the Regions was criminalised, and speech on the issues on which the Party of the Regions had won elections was criminalised. And though these speech crimes were repressed by the police and judiciary, the repression was almost as lawless, violent, cruel, and arbitrary as when the repression had been carried out by proxies.
When you criminalise political opposition, it is a coup. When you declare peaceful supporters of the former government criminals, it is a coup. When you criminalise the party and the political movement that you overthrew, it is a coup. When you criminalise the words and thoughts of the movement you overthrew, it is coup.
When you criminalise the plurality language of your country, and you criminalise the majority religion of your country, it is not just a coup, it is an extraordinary tyranny and brutal despotism.
This foreshadowed the silencing of speech, the banning of parties, and the cancellation of elections that we are now seeing in Europe. The measures taken by the Maidan government were swiftly followed by similar measures in Europe. Maidan in 2014 foreshadowed BLM and Transtifa in the US, and Maidan in 2015 foreshadowed what we are seeing go down in Europe.
Russia was outraged by this, and Russian speakers in the Ukraine and people of the Russian Orthodox faith in the Ukraine were outraged by this. Russia was also threatened by this, because there were efforts to coup Putin and his party the way the Party of the Regions had been couped. And Russians were threatened by this because the Maidan regime proceeded to put the screws on Russian speakers and the Russian Orthodox Church, thus intent to coup Putin implied intent to put the screws on the Russian identity.
Russia annexed Crimea, which had successfully revolted against the coup regime, and had clear and defensible borders, but refrained from annexing other parts of revolting Ukraine, where the conflict had less clear and less defensible borders, and the outcome was unsettled. It wanted to avoid direct military conflict.
Putin took vigorous measures to protect against coup in Russia, which violated freedom of speech and freedom of association, but nothing as drastic as banning the major opposition party, and today there are vastly more political prisoners in Britain than in Russia.
Democracy is the end of Republics. In every election, the stakes on the table get higher, until orderly transfer of power becomes difficult and dangerous. Freedom of speech and freedom of political organisation cannot be tolerated when some people are organising to get rid of other people. We dare not let our enemies speak, and we have to get rid of them, because if they take power they will not let us speak, and will get rid of us.
2018: Maneuver preparatory to holy war
The Ukrainian and European governments got the Constantinople patriarchate to grant autocephaly the Ukrainian Church. Most Ukrainian Christians failed to go along with this. The UOC-MC in Ukraine continued to adhere to the Moscow patriarchate. The Russian and Georgian Orthodox Churches rejected autocephaly for the Ukraine.
This is an issue that has been simmering since the Ottomans conquered Constantinople in 1453 and renamed it Istanbul. The Constantinople patriarchate came under the thumb of Islam, and Orthodox Churches in Christian lands emphasised the autocephaly of each national Orthodox Church, and emphasised that decisions on orthodoxy as a whole must be made collegially, not unilaterally by the patriarchate of Constantinople.
This dispute has been running for five centuries (just as the Bosnia and Herzegovina dispute that led to World War I had been simmering for five centuries) but got a lot hotter when Turkey converged the Constantinople patriarchate to globohomo postChristianity.
The Russian Orthodox church, the UOC-MC in Ukraine, and a number of other Orthodox Churches broke communion with Constantinople in 2018, in response to Constantinople unilaterally issuing autocephaly from Russian Orthodoxy to Ukraine, splitting the orthodox, communion over the issue of how much power Constantinople was entitled to exercise, though after the invasion a number of other orthodox churches submitted to Constantinople, and globohomo.
Simultaneously the globohomo convergence dispute has been splitting Anglicanism, with GAFCON supporting autocephaly for national Anglican Churches, and a headquarters for the Anglican communion in Jerusalem instead of Canterbury. Although the immediate trigger for the break of communion in Orthodoxy was Constantinople issuing autocephaly to Ukraine from Moscow, the Russian patriarchate has been vigorously complaining about convergence to globohomo, so GAFCON is aligning with Russian orthodoxy, while Canterbury is aligning with Istanbul.
Gafcon was formed in 2008, but things heated up considerably in 2025 when the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby resigned and was replaced by a archbishopette, Dame Sarah Mullally, who supports same sex unions and all that.
War
In 2021, Russian speaking civilians in Donbas were being shelled by artillery in Avdeevka, American supplied artillery, American shells, guided by American overwatch from space, the artillery located a short distance from a not-a-Nato base in Avdeevka full of Americans. Ukrainian proxies pulling the trigger. Russia and Russians found this alarming. Americans shelling Russians was not-quite-war the way the Americans saw it. It was war the way the Russians saw it. Russia issued an ultimatum, the point of the ultimatum not being to protect people in the Donbas, but people in Russia.
In 2021 December Russia had issued a peace treaty proposal: Ukraine and Georgia to not join NATO, and no NATO nuclear weapons, long-range missiles, or troop deployments) near Russia’s borders. This demand was purely about Russian borders. Russian identity in the Ukraine could be eliminated, so long as Russians in Russia were safe.
In 2022 January this veiled military ultimatum became a naked military ultimatum. If Nato did not agree to Russia’s security, to the security of Russians in Russia, Russia would do something about the security of Russians in the Ukraine.
In 2022 February 21 Putin demanded the neutrality and denazification of the Ukraine. Three days later, hours before the invasion, the Russian government endorsed and echoed the Russian Orthodox patriarchate on the split in Orthodoxy, making this a holy war between old type Christianity, endorsed by the Russian patriarchate and Gafcon, and globohomo postChristianity.
The Russian patriarchate broke communion with Constantinople in 2018 and got sovereign backing for this break in 2022. Now we have a religious schism, with each branch receiving forceful backing from nuclear armed sovereigns.
Historically, holy wars tend to start small, and slowly grow, burning hotter and killing more and more people, going on and on and on. National wars tend to start abruptly and finish abruptly, but holy wars are harder to end, because there is no sovereign with authority to end them. One thing leads to another thing, and more and more nations and sovereigns get pulled in, even long after the entities that actually started the fighting are completely obliterated, or so thoroughly ruined as to become irrelevant.
Because Nato would not grant security to Russia, Putin was massively upping the ante. Which parallels the Tsar upping the ante on the dispute over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Russian Foreign Ministry Press Release, 2022 February 24: “Ukraine’s actions against the UOC-MP are a direct attack on the spiritual heritage of the Russian people.”
On 2022 March 1, a week after the invasion begun, the Russian Duma (parliament) issued a unanimous resolution, State Duma Resolution No. 1032410-7, “The State Duma calls for international protection of the UOC-MP in Ukraine, condemning the Ukrainian authorities’ actions as a violation of religious freedom and an attack on Russian spiritual heritage.”
The demand for denazification seemed absurd to the west. Was not the ideology that Ukraine was imposing on Ukrainians by terror and murder “Civic Nationalism”, Globohomo homogenisation, which is, the West thinks, the complete opposite of Nazism. Jews regard globohomo as antinazism, protection against the holocaust happening ever again, because globohomo is going to abolish every separate identity. Which looks very nazi to those identities are being abolished, and looks very nazi to nazis in the Ukraine.
Abolishing identity looks mighty like nazism if it is your own identity being abolished, and in actual practice, actual nazis, men who had been part of Hitler’s apparatus, were the elders of Maidan movement. It was the most Jewish government outside of Israel, and the most Nazi government since the Third Reich.
When Hitler ruled the Ukraine, the Nazi party in the Ukraine set about de-slavifying the Ukraine. It continued in existence, funded by the CIA, underground in the Ukraine and with external headquarters in Canada during Soviet rule, and after the Soviet Union fell, popped up again. Hence Putin’s demand for de-nazification and the West’s incomprehension of this demand. For white Americans and white Britons, globohomo is slow genocide and race replacement, which looks mighty like nazism, but for Jews, getting rid of whites is obviously the opposite of Nazism.
The Jewish element of the Maidan government was globohomogenising, but the Nazi element was de-slavifying. Or something, perceiving a racial difference between Eastern and Western Ukraine. And while the Ukraine is not exactly Russian (the name means “borderlands”) it is definitely overwhelmingly slavic. The Ukrainian language is being rapidly and continually invented with new words, new names, and new spelling to make it less slavic.
Russia attempted war of movement in the Ukraine, and failed, with terrible casualties. It found itself stuck in war of attrition, so settled down to fight a war of attrition. And, by late 2022 early 2023, it became obvious that it was winning the war of attrition.
So the Ukraine attempted to break out of war attrition into war of movement, with the 2023 “Greatest Ukrainian Counter Offensive”. Which failed catastrophically with terrible casualties. And, Ukraine’s forces considerably diminished, it continued to lose the war of attrition in an ever more one sided manner, Ukraine’s casualties becoming ever greater and Russian casualties ever fewer as Ukrainian forces became ever fewer and Russian forces ever greater.
On 2024 June 14th, once it had become obvious that Russia was winning the war of attrition, Russia upped the ante a little further. Russia demanded that the territories that have voted to become part of Russia are now permanently part of the Russian Federation, and the West must recognise them as legal republics of Russia, and the war will continue until they do, Russian orthodoxy and the Russian language is allowed in the Ukraine, and the Ukraine becomes neutral and non aligned.
Britain has banned prayer on certain topics, including silent prayer in one’s own home, and is attempting, not very successfully, to enforce this, calling on family members to rat out family members who engage in unlawful prayer, though the only arrest for silent individual prayer of which I am aware was a women silently praying near an abortion facility. Russia has declared holy war, and Europe is conducting holy war. Russia raised the stakes, and Britain re-raised the stakes. Russia grasps old type Christianity as a weapon, whereupon Britain attacks it as a threat.
A great war ensues when both sides keep raising the stakes, expecting the other side to fold.
So, what happens when the last Ukrainian soldier is dead or maimed, but the West still declines to accept the outcome?
Every Century, The Russians beat very Formidable military forces and destroy that entity as a great military power for all time to come. That particular entity then never even comes close to recovering former military greatness. If Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires, Russia is the graveyard of military capability
1500s: Mongols
1600s: Poland-Lithuania
1700: Swedes
1800s: Napoleonic France
1900s: Nazi Germany
2000s: Globohomo
Mongols did conquer Russia though
For a while. But Russians made it expensive, and in time eventually made it considerably more expensive.
The point is the Mongols were never the same after that encounter with the Russians. The root-cause of subsequent mongol military irrelevance may not have been the Russians, but thats not the point I was trying to make. The point I was trying to make is things go badly for people trying to conquer the Russians. I’m not going into the reasons
The French and British in crimean war were not trying to conquer Russia and neither was Japan in 1904-1905. So they made out okay subsequently. The lesson is, please don’t try to conquer Russia
It pains me to see this fracture in Orthodoxy and Russian youth slaughtering (more or less) Russian seniors across a not-so-real border.
I continue to lose hope on a resolution here. Maybe globohomo is so full of itself collectively that they won’t really accept that Russia is truly winning until Russia has already won. Too late for them to effectively escalate. Unlikely though.
Trump could have made a difference here, but Trump *could* have been a lot of things that he isn’t.
Never despair. God is with Russia and God has his tests. In our neck of the woods we say, The Dharma is with the Russians. They can’t lose
War in UA is kindof like the Jews, the non-Western Left-ComSoc’s of the world (China mostly), and the GloboHomo overlay, all ganging up to destroy White Euro Civilization.
USA has it’s own flavor of internal Leftism, that combined with the Jews, the n-W L-CS’s, the GH, and now Islam… all ganging up to destroy White American Civilization.
On grand scale, outcome of UA won’t matter one bit for the White Civ unless whoever wins will actually then go on to draw hard-impenetrable lines on the map meant to keep out and defund the Jews, the n-W L-CS’s, the GH, and Islam.
Russia, if winner of UA, cannot do that alone.
Rest of West, if winner of UA, cannot do that alone.
So there needs to be immediate mutual invitation whereby Russia becomes full mutual part of a new Pan-West.
Best avenue for that are the memes…
1) All of West are essentially White Christian Freedom types.
2) Rest of World is not.
3) So end the UA war today, formally band together as western brothers, and then handle the Rest of World together.
Starting with…
1) Disband the EU as destructively retarded and gay.
2) Purge the USA of its Leftism/Wokeism, restore its sense of ideals to an Independence/Liberty/Freedom/Self-Reliance, taken from somewhere before the Progressive/Democrat era. Cut its Govt headcount and budget by 90% nationwide, including closing and selling all Govt run Schools to private bidders, terminating all Federal and State welfare programs (thus restoring Churches role of charity), forcibly DOGE+++ the defense contractors, gut the Federal Court system and 75% of the USCode, cancel the Federal Reserve and all personal Income Tax. Ban gays from having/adopting children. Cancel Women’s Suffrage.
3) Replace “NATO” with a completely new Pan-Western-Civ defense function that now includes Russia, maintain 5% of population actively trained and retool the gear with 5% of GDP… aimed squarely at containing China and Islam.
4) Purge all Islam back out of the Pan-West.
5) Keep China/Islam/India/Africa all separated and encouraged to be “Internally Pure and Great Again” (obviously Africa will naturally remain unevolved, Islam will do Islam, India will do India, and China will probably ditch ComSoc for something less nasty, maybe Liberty City-States).
6) Open Cuba into Free Association and Treatise with the USA, encourage its move to become world’s first voluntaryist society.
Trouble with that is “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights”
Obviously they are not created equal, and their rights are very much alienable. The faith of the Republic was founded on a lie, and one lie inevitably led to more lies.
If all men are created equal, all men have the right to live on welfare at US taxpayer expense. The woke are just implementing the ideals of the founders in a more consistent way than the founders did.
Crying “give us our unprincipled exceptions back” does not work, because the it is the less holy versus the more holy in a holy war conflict. The holiest are bound to win almost every time, and if they take a momentary defeat on one issue or another, they will come back at it and win in the end.
If you want to set the clock back to 1950, or 1850, either way you are admitting that the left is more virtuous than you are.
If all men are created equal, then any observed inequality must be social injustice, colonialism, racism, sexism, homophobia, etcetera. Recall that video of woke woman confidently denying that skin color is genetic. “The Science” she tells us, confidently and with complete certainty, proves that there is no genetic differences between blacks and whites. And indeed, “The Science” does prove that, though the scientific method proves the opposite.
The anti slavery faction in the civil war believed the same, though with a few more unprincipled exceptions than she had.
“Equal” used to mean something more along the lines of “similar”, but that’s a nuance of language long lost to time. Just more proof of a zombie Republic that doesn’t know it’s long dead.
Yeah, all that would be nice, Bru. But it’s a total fantasy. We may as well posit unlimited free energy while we’re at it. The people in control of the West despise the West, and there’s nobody with the power and the will to seize it from them. Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.
And obviously China and Islam are incompatible with Russia.
So Russia has every incentive to join Pan-West.
The Jews are one of most responsible for keeping that from happening, as are remaining Cold War type politicians, and the GloboUS-Left’s in general.
Trump really should invite Russia, and just split Ukraine where it stands for simplicity sake.
Zelensky is a Jew and Comedy Actor, he has no business being near anything in the future Pan-West.
>So Russia has every incentive to join Pan-West
The same West that has been hostile to Russia since
201420081999… you know what? I can’t really put a definitive year because it’s possible to just keep working back further and further into history.Russia is not Western, nor is it Eastern. It is its own thing, and Russia is comfortable with that.
>Trump really should invite Russia, and just split Ukraine where it stands for simplicity sake.
On the contrary, the more Trump drags this out without alarming the Europeans, the more Russia ends up getting. Which is ideal in preventing future fuckery in Ukraine from happening.
> The same West that has been hostile to Russia
No. What was said was a “new pan-West” idealogue, wherein the memes/ideologies of the prior West, in particular the now very weirdly self-destructive Euro-West, and the GloboHomo-West, and whatever Leftism/Jewfluence is fucking up the USA… is all abandoned for a new “based” West conglomerate that includes Russia. And that doesn’t include the Jews, Commies, Islam, or the Africs.
>> “And obviously China and Islam are incompatible with Russia.”
Few things are “obvious” with Russia.
“Russia” + “Islam” + “China” = Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and others. Works fine. Not amazing, but fine.
Inside Russia proper today, you have the Volga Mohammedans (Bashkirs, Tatars, the chill ones), and the Caucasus Mohammedans, half chill (Kabardins, Balkars), half not chill (Chechens, Dagestanis). Plus “imported diversity”, which until the 1991 dissolution of the USSR was local diversity, the Central Asian ‘stans mentioned above.
Also a bunch of Buddhist mongoloids (Buryatia, Tuva, Kalmykia), and shamanic mongoloids (Yakutia and others. Yakutia alone is the size of Alaska). Some of the shamanic mongoloids are proto-Amerindians, as in descendants of the ones who *didn’t* cross over into America 10 000 years ago and *didn’t* turn into American Indians but remained Siberian mongoloids.
There are also proto-Hungarian, Bulgarian, and Finn republics inside Russia, whose ancestors back in the day didn’t continue the great migration onward to Europe proper, and instead decided to settle in what is today the federal republics of Mari El, Chuvashia, Udmurtia, and others.
Certain “classical Russian” habits such as tea as a staple drink and dumplings as a staple food are obvious Chinese influences carried across by Mongol hordes way back when. Some linguistic remnants are from the Vikings who chose the big rivers and forged the first Rus Slavic states (the local slavs called those river vikings “Varangians”) include the ending “grad” as in “city” of city names. Stalingrad, Leningrad. Instead of Asgard it would be Asgrad.
Russia is historically a melting pot beyond what most people picture when they hear the term melting pot. The Slavic orthodox component is of course central, but the remaining 30%-40% are decisive in making it a nation which is certainly not just an enormous Slovakia N2.
Of course, if Belarus and parts of the Ukraine are decisively re-absorbed, the European Slavic component will be boosted, but not by as much as one would imagine.
> others. Works fine. Not amazing, but fine.
Which means that things are obviously and precisely expressly not “fine”.
They are of different “Faiths”, whether Religious faiths, or otherwise, such as Political or Cultural or Economic or Tribal or Racial ones.
So things cannot ever, by definition, be “fine” between them.
They are only by happenstance, or by Government, “fine”.
Just look at your quoted “Chechens”, look at the “Beslan Massacre”… was that “fine” ?!?! … NO, absolutely not, it wasn’t.
Sure, the Putin “Government” smashed them, and parlayed that it was “fine”.
But at the root, it was, and isn’t, and will always remain, expressly NOT FINE.
Islam is NOT FINE with Russia, nor in or with anyone else.
Same as Jews and Leftism aren’t “fine” with Russia, nor anyone else.
Sure, Governance prevails, but why should anyone ever entertain that utter BULLSHIT against them in their own lands, or ever spend any resource to govern it, they shouldn’t, it should all be purged back out.
Period, end of story.
Do you think the “Russia” of today is “fine” with Communist China ruling over it, do you think Russia wants to “melt with” the China???
Fuck NO, Russia’s not fine with that, and it doesn’t want to melt with that.
In fact, the more Russia agrees to “melt with” and become “fine with” everyone else, the more Russia washes itself out to complete irrelevance, and becomes overrun.
Russia, as a nominally Christian-type Country, mutually needs the West, as nominally Christian-type Lands, to join with and become one nominally Christian-type force…. against the Islam, against the Atheist Chinese, against the Communism, against the Socialism, against the Marxism, against the Afro Mumbo-Jumbo, and against the GAY GloboHomo.
Khazakstan and such… mere provinces, governances, colonies, aboriginals… for profit and area control on the map, not to be “fine with”.
That’s like people saying everyone should be fine with the Jewish Influence outside of Israel and it infesting their own lands twisting them to the Judaish primacy and cause every day… NOPE, they don’t actually want that.
>Do you think the “Russia” of today is “fine” with Communist China ruling over it
Ha ha. So this is a hilarious instance of retarded propaganda coming from the faction of the pentagon that is “friendly” to Russia because they think they can use Russia as a pawn against China. Retarded scumbags.
>> Do you think the “Russia” of today is “fine” with Communist China
> Pentagon … Russia as a pawn against China
Pentagon is garbage, patent fucking garbage for the USA, and has been more or less ever since post-WWII, certainly post-1990.
The question is whether post-USSR Russia (aka: post Commie-Soc Lenin Marx Stalin) is “OK” with the prospect of China over it. Just look at the thousands year history of Russia and China. They are absolutely not friendly, except when they were trying to do the Jews with Germany.
So I submit that Russia is not “OK” with the China, but I’m open to suggestion.
Because I admit that Russia has now been forced to partner with China due to the patent absurdity of the West re Russia.
Do you recall the brief say 1989-1992 period in which the Russia was willing to join the West, but the idiots NeoCons in the West rejected it?
Where was Russia supposed to go then? On by it’s own? No. It went to India and China and the Stan’s and Venezuela and Brazil and Iran.
The Western desire is probably still there, but the West is still grossly fucking it up.
What is fine is that all Russian Muslims are now patriotic supporters of Russian empire, and any that are not remain silent because if they open their mouths, those that are patriotic supporters of Russian empire will kill them, and feel entirely holy and Islamic about killing them.
If a Muslim is seeking the overthrown of the Russian empire, then he is holier than those that have acquiesced. Which makes him dangerous to those that have acquiesced. So they will kill him, and quote plentiful Islamic precedent that you are not allowed to be holier than legitimate established Islamic authority, and if you are, legitimate and established Islamic authority can kill you.
I recently spent a night at the home of a Muslim Kazakh man, meeting his Russian wife and their four children. His toilet is diagonal to the wall so that it’s perpendicular to Mecca, but he shaves because “beards are too radical”. His daughters have boyfriends, think racism is bad and God doesn’t exist, and watch KPop Demon Hunters so they can fantasize about being objects of desire and badass girlboss warriors at the same time.
Im surprised it went as far as them being openly atheistic (though not really the rest of it)? I thought that was at least theoretically a death penalty thing in Islam…
BAP has had the RWA (Russians witb Attitude) on and they’ve echoed that a lot of younger Russians are down with the poz though.
Saying that apostates should be killed is a radical Islamist idea, and anyone who talks or acts like a radical Islamist these days is likely to receive a very harsh police interrogation, especially in Muslim countries. Even the Taliban won’t tolerate it.
Sunni Islam is worse than leftism when it comes to holiness spiraling, so anyone who even hints at being holier than the state needs to disappear.
Well even if Islam in general is backing away from the Al Qaeda days of violent political Islamist extremism I had thought that open athiesm was a pretty extreme taboo on par with muslim girls from respectable families who didn’t need the money moonlighting as prostitutes.
Impressions on the wifeski?
Can the European West even mobilize?
Why wouldn’t Trump just wash his hands of the situation. Again, I point out there are mass recalls of diplomats from Europe and there are ongoing troop draw downs.
Globohomo suffers from moral collapse leading to state incapacity. Just as Californian fast rail money was all stolen, the funds to increase weapons production for Ukraine were all stolen.
But defeat in a holy war frequently fails to end the war.
Continue the war with what army? The West is far closer to experiencing regime change if not outright civil war than flinging a million men they do not have into Ukraine.
Europe is in a multi front holy war. Both internal and external, however it is much more restrained from conducting war externally than internally. When considering the internal wars of just the major Western powers, France, Germany, UK, this is easily a 4 front war. Warnings of civil war are now voiced by the security apparatus and are openly published in military publications. I do not believe it likely that the Russian front can continue to draw sufficient resources for prolonged escalation as the internal fronts heat up. Europe of 1911 did not have anything near this level of fragility nor domestic distraction from external fights.
Europe has no army for a war with Russia, but Europe does not want war. Europe wants low-level almost war with one provocation after another, e.g. confiscation of Russian assets including ships in international waters, arrests of Russian citizens (the recent sanctions make it illegal for European lawyers to counsel Russians), a blockade of Kaliningrad, etc. Neither Nato nor EU needs an Army for such provocations. Merz, Macron, Starmer & Co are confident that Russia will not use the Russian army in response to such provocations.
The security apparatus is in the business of warning from whatever sounds at least remotely plausible in order to get more funds. Civil war needs organisation. There is now way to organise for such an event in Europe. The security apparatus is loyal to the government (at least in Germany) and will stay loyal until the government gives them suicidal orders. Even then, these orders will probably be just ignored, slow walked or misunderstood.
I interpret NATO chief Mark Rutte’s speech last month to mean that Europe is already mobilizing for war. The good news being that, being a tower of Babel, they are mobilizing slow and ineffectively. Also, being deluded, they are blind to the fact that there is barely an army to mobilize.
The bad news is that when reality hits this will not incentivize them to calm down, because holy war. Much like Ukraine the plan will no doubt pivot to force feeding European white men into the meat grinder. Now in our favor does not seem like the EU has the equivalent of Azov to serve as bussification squads, but what does not exist yet may well exist in the future.
Then again, maybe the whole thing will just fall apart like the League of Nations?
Exactly so, but Russia is likely to respond to this with actual war sooner or later, one way or another way.
>”The Globohomo Empire hates the British identity, the American identity, the Australian identity, the French identity, and seeks to destroy all of them, but it hates the Russian identity more than any of them and has hated that identity for longer than it has hated any other.”
Precisely so. A collective identity demands an orderly productive society. The alternative, which is chaos, provides the smokescreen thereby resources are plundered. And Russia has much resource.
> orderly productive society … chaos
Yes, the West is currently Chaos, and unproductively and severely so.
The old “Cold War” West opposed (reasonably correctly) the SocCom USSR of Bolsh, Lenin, and Stalin.
But after the USSR imploded (because that was reasonably incorrect)… the silly legacy West continued fighting the New Russia (which harkened at its core, and finely, for the old pre-Bolsh Tsarist Russia, there is no point to not admit this reasonable irredentalism of Putin).
Then the West, post USSR, became even more Woke, Jewish, GloboHomo, Leftist, and SocCom… which are all incorrect.
So once the West reboots back to the pre-1900’s pre-Woke/Prog/Dem self, it could be a fine brotherly merger with the Eastern-West.
Trump has certain elements of that, but is a far cry from the whole of that, let alone doing the whole of it, even if he were able, or allowed. Trump is a start, but not the forthcoming main mover, nor the end Triomphant.
The EuroWest, by joint components, sooner or later, will enter Ukraine.
Primary purpose being simply to formally halt Russia’s potential advance at the current line…

I’ve never appreciated this blog more. Thank you.
Some of your sentences and punctuations here don’t make any sense. Just not proper actual English.
Given the gravity of this information and the world crisis it speaks to, I ask that you give it a proofreading once-over, just to optimize the number of people who will understand it, take it to heart, and not dismiss it as semirandom dumbslop. Because it’s not.
Not seeing it. Please quote an example, or better, several examples.
I sometimes see typos, and what I call “wordos” (erroneous word substitutions lie (really “like”, I just did it myself) “of” for “for”, etc. like a bad spell checker in the brain). But nothing that can’t be figured out.
If you see any wordos in the article, draw them to my attention by quoting them.
These issues are consistently here. I am an editor at heart and would be happy to go over each article and make such changes and send you a revised copy if you’re interested. I have a blog and found that it’s hard to catch everything yourself when reading your own writing. I dont know maybe that’s overkill. It’s usually just one or two small things. Just a thought.

“Austria rationally feared that if they let this assassination slide, further and even more drastic provocations would follow, with the aim of regaining Bosnia and Herzegovina for Serbia (after five centuries) Austria therefore issued an ultimatum demanding that Austrian police be allowed into Serbia to investigate the assassination, which everyone knew would reveal it to be a Serbian assassination, and did not know would reveal it to be a combined Russian and Serbian assassination.”
This isn’t a real sentence, and I’m not sure I properly understand it.
is it?:
(after five centuries). Austria therefore issued
“The Russian identity originally was an artificial imposition, but the Russian empire has successfully combined great brutality against rebels with great generosity towards defeated rebels, and today, it is the identity that Russians received through their mother’s arms. Russia and Russians fear and resent this western attitude.”
Wait what? What “this western attitude”? To what is “this” referring here?
“And when they told the EU to go pound sand, European and American ngos launched the Maidan coup against the government.”
“NGOs”.
“The Party of the Regions of criminalised”
was criminalised.
“When you criminalise the plurality language of your country, and you criminalise the majority religion of your country, it is not just a coup, it is a extraordinary tyranny and brutal despotism.”
it is an extraordinary
“Putin took vigorous measures to protect against coup in Russia, which violated freedom of speech and freedom of association, but nothing as drastic as banning the major opposition party, and today there are vastly more political prisoners in Britain than in Russia.”
vastly fewer political prisoners in Russia than in Britain.
“The Ukrainian and European governments got the Constantinople patriarchate to grant autocephaly the Ukrainian Church. Most Ukrainian Christians failed to go along with this.”
What’s the problem with granting autocephaly to the Ukrainian Church? Sounds fine to me. If the Constantinople patriarchate is converged, then isn’t it good to grant the Ukrainian Church more independence from it?
“The UOC-MC in Ukraine continued to adhere to the Moscow patriarchate. The Russian and Georgian Orthodox Churches rejected this move”
this move.
And what’s the UOC-MC? Ukrainian Orthodox Church – ? ?
And the Russian and Georgian Churches rejected what “this move”, exactly? And why?
“This is an issue that has been simmering since the Ottomans conquered Constantinople in 1453 and renamed it Istanbul. The Constantinople patriarchate came under the thumb of Islam, and Orthodox Churches in Christian lands emphasised the autocephaly of each national Orthodox Church, and emphasised that decisions on orthodoxy as a whole must be made collegially, not unilaterally by the patriarchate of Constantinople.”
See that sure sounds like a reasonable way to go to me, short of cutting out the Constantinople patriarchate entirely. Is it a problem, though? Why?
And isn’t this decentralized and collegial approach to things what “autocephaly” is all about? No?
“The Russian Orthodox church, the UOC-MC in Ukraine, and a number of other Orthodox Churches broke communion with Constantinople in 2018, in response to Constantinople unilaterally issuing autocephaly to Ukraine, splitting orthodoxy, though after the invasion a number of other orthodox churches submitted to Constantinople, and globohomo.”
Again, I would think that receiving autocephaly would mean they wouldn’t need to break with Constantinople. I’m not arguing what people should do. I’m saying that I don’t understand what’s going on here and why.
“Simultaneously the globohomo convergence dispute has been splitting Anglicanism, with GAFCON supporting autocephaly for national Anglican Churches, and a headquarters for the Anglican communion in Jerusalem instead of Canterbury.”
See? Anglican Autocephaly good, right? So why is autocephaly from Constantinople bad?
“In 2021, Russian speaking civilians in Donbas were being shelled by artillery in Avdeevka, American supplied artillery, American shells, guided by American overwatch from space, the artillery located a short distance from a not-a-Nato base in Avdeevka full of Americans.”
shelled by artillery in Avdeevka, by American supplied artillery
“It was war the way the Russians saw it.”
It was real war
“In 2022 January this veiled military ultimatum became a naked military ultimatum. If Nato did not agree to Russia’s security, to the security of Russians in Russia, Russia would do something about the security of Russians in the Ukraine.”
NATO. Not ‘Nato’, and not ‘nato’.
“In 2022 February 21 Putin demanded the neutrality and denazification of the Ukraine. Three days later, hours before the invasion, the Russian government endorsed and echoed the Russian Orthodox patriarchate on the split in Orthodoxy, making this a holy war between old type Christianity, endorsed by the Russian patriarchate and Gafcon, and globohomo postChristianity.”
What split in Orthodoxy? The split of the Russian patriarchate from any connection to Constantinople?
“National wars tend to start abruptly and finish abruptly, but holy wars are harder to end, because there is no sovereign with authority to end them.”
(Thank you for this powerful point. Holy wars don’t have a physical HQ, so much harder to win, lose or end. This obviously maps to present day, where Globohomo can lose DC, or Kiev, or even Harvard someday, but so what? With their faith, the media and Starlink, no need for a discrete capitol. This also reminds me of the reformation wars in the 16th-17th centuries, because the HQ’s were printed books, not particular places with particular people in them. That’s why they got into such carnage, because they had no idea they could get themselves into such a depersonalized and decentralized kind of conflict.)
“The demand for denazification seemed absurd to the west. Was not the ideology that Ukraine was imposing on Ukrainians by terror and murder “Civic Nationalism”, Globohomo homogenisation, which is, the West thinks, the complete opposite of Nazism.”
opposite of Nazism?
question mark.
“Jews regard globohomo as antinazism, protection against the holocaust happening every again, because globohomo is going to abolish every separate identity. Which looks very nazi to those identities are being abolished,”
ever again
“and looks very nazi to nazis in the Ukraine.”
(Wait a minute. Then why are the Ukro-Nazi’s so down with getting used by Globohomo? I thought the point is that the Ukro-Nazis see nazism as de-slavifying, not the abolition of every identity.)
“Abolishing identity looks mighty like nazism if it is your own identity being abolished, and in actual practice, actual nazis, men who had been part of Hitler’s apparatus, were the elders of Maidan movement. It was the most Jewish government outside of Israel, and the most Nazi government since the Third Reich.”
but in actual practice
“The Jewish element of the Maidan government was globohomogenising, but the Nazi element was de-slavifying. And while the Ukraine is not exactly Russian (the name means “borderlands”) it is definitely overwhelmingly slavic. The Ukrainian language is being rapidly and continually invented with new words, new names, and new spelling to make it less slavic.”
(Less slavic and more Polish?)
“So the Ukraine attempted to break out of war attrition into war of movement, with the 2023 “Greatest Ukrainian Counter Offensive”. Which failed catastrophically with terrible casualties. And, Ukraine’s forces considerably diminished, it continued to lose the war of attrition in an ever more one sided manner, Ukraine’s casualties becoming ever greater and Russian casualties ever fewer as Ukrainian forces became ever fewer and Russian forces ever greater.”
with Ukraine’s casualties
“On 2024 June 14th, once it had become obvious that Russia was winning the war of attrition, Russia upped the ante a little further. Russia demanded that the territories that have voted to become part of Russia are now permanently part of the Russian Federation, and the West must recognise them as legal republics of Russia, and the war will continue until they do, Russian orthodoxy and the Russian language is allowed in the Ukraine, and the Ukraine becomes neutral and non aligned”
period at the end.
and match-up the tenses in this comma list.
“A great war ensues when both sides keep raising the stakes expecting the other side to fold.”
stakes, expecting
“So, what happens when the last Ukrainian soldier is dead or maimed, and the West still declines to accept the outcome?”
but the West
Yes, missing a full stop.
The western attitude described two paragraphs back and in the following paragraph — that the existence of Russia and the Russian identity is a wrong that social justice demands should be remedied.
Huh. Why is this an error?
It was granting it autocephaly from Moscow.
autocephaly for Ukraine.
Autocephaly is a great solution if your sovereign is not Jewish and his government is not postChristian.
Normally in Orthodoxy, each Orthodox state has its own Orthodox Church, but when there is regime change it normally takes a while, often generations or centuries, for Church organisation to change to reflect new political boundaries, and the change is done by consensus — albeit often a consensus with the King’s guards breathing down the necks of priests.
Autocephaly from postChristians good, autocephaly for postChristians bad.
I disagree. If you can speak it, it is a word, not an acronym.
The Russian patriarchate broke communion with Constantinople in 2018 and got sovereign backing for this break in 2022. How should I make it clearer? Now we have a religious schism, and each branch is receiving forceful backing from nuclear armed sovereigns.
Huh?
It does not make a whole lot of sense to me either, but leftism never does make sense. Leftism is willing to burn the world down for its sacred principles, but is apt to forget what those principles are and find some new, more convenient, principles.
Huh?

No I’m not an accelerationist but seeing the radleft take a city from the crookleft and make it worse has positive propaganda value for us.
I think I’ve seized on the winning argument for monarchy to appeal to dispossessed zoomers and frustrated rugpulled millenials. One that I don’t think anyone has made…
Every state that truly has full luxury communism where the common citizen lives like a millionaire or higher without exception is a monarchy and all of them except Norway are monarchies where the king actively runs the government. Yes most of them have oil but not all of them do (Liechtenstein and Monaco don’t, Dubai doesn’t itself though the other emirates do) while other non monarchial states have oil and you know what they inevitably fail at implementing full luxury communism. This argument may outrage some libertarians but I’m more interested in avoiding gay race communism at this point.
Monarchy is an easy sell to someone who lives in the Pacific NW and can thus expect no sanity from the electorate, even without cheating. With an honest vote, I’d probably still always lose. With a sane monarch, I don’t have to care what a bunch of status-seeking imbeciles Oregonians around Portland are.
You don’t need to appeal to libertarians. I used to be one before Moldbug detonated the argument for libertarianism for all time to come. Also, they have a tendency to permit the perfect to become the enemy of the Good. They are non-sequitors at this point
I like markets myself but it seems like the golden formula for monarchies to last in the modern era whether they have oil or not is
1) extremely free unregulated market 19th century style
2) actual skills based immigration policy but the immigrants have no rights, can’t except in extraordinary circumstances become citizens and zero tolerance for them causing trouble
3) full luxury communism welfare program for citizens (id have to look into how Liechenstein which has no oil funds this in particular) at least once the economy shoots past a certain point (and ALL of the states which have full luxury communism welfare programs for citizens and can do it without debt or extreme corruption that ruins it are monarchies)
>You don’t need to appeal to libertarians. I used to be one before Moldbug
In other words, you were never a libertarian. That retarded jew clown can’t argue his way out of paper box let alone “detonate” anything.
Also, in other words, you never actually read Moldbug. And if you did, clearly you did not understand his argument. He may be a namefag now, but he was great when he wasn’t

Spike protein and micro-clots. Speculative. Posting for the benefit of readers.
I often post here under a different pseudonym, but since this is a personal anecdote, I’m posting it under a new pseudonym to keep the identities disjoint.
For the shill test – Women are feral creatures whose sexual selection instincts are maladapted to modern society, both because they mostly had little choice in the matter in the first place, and what choice they do have is 1,000,000 years out of date, based on the environment of evolutionary adaptation…and so on. But this post is not about women, or religion, or, Ukraine, etc.
Back in April of 2021 I got the Pfizer 2-dose vax shot. I was leery, but personal professionals whose performance I respected like my PCP, dentist, and especially my wife of 30 years (who’s fully embedded in “The Matrix” of conventional wisdom) strongly encouraged me to. Still I waited until a number of close blood relatives had been vax’ed so as to observe any acute effects, of which I saw none. This was almost 5 years ago. I’m in my upper 60s, somewhat overweight but still active, with no disabilities. Definitely not a Walmart scooter rider.
I’ve never taken a booster shot (to my wife’s horror). I’d wised up by then. In the summer of 2024 I came down with Covid (tested positive on the strip) but it was a mild case. Symptoms only lasted a weekend, and I took Ivermectin.
Fast forward to the present. Last Tuesday morning I woke up with a blind spot in the peripheral vision of my right eye (scotoma). I drove to the ER and they did the full stroke workup on me. MRI, CT scan w/ contrast of head and neck, chest x-ray, EKG, and echocardiogram (ultrasound inspection of heart and heart function). All were perfectly normal. No Afib, no observable ischemia or hemorrhage in the brain. Normal blood perfusion. No significant stenosis in neck, major brain arteries or heart. Neurologist evaluation says I have normal cognition and function. At hospital the ophthalmologist observed a micro-clot in one of my retinal arteries corresponding to the region of the scotoma. “Branch retinal arterial occlusion”, basically an “eye stroke”. While still waiting for a callback for an office appointment with the ophthalmologist, I went to my local optometrist this morning. She has machines to photograph my retina and she confirmed the ophthalmologists diagnosis.
The consensus of all the relevant doctors was this clot did not originate locally, but dislodged from somewhere else and floated down stream until it found an artery narrow enough to cork. A typical source for these micro-clots is an afib’ing heart where turbulence causes these micro-clots to form. The exams and tests showed I do not have afib.
A couple of weeks ago I started taking a new supplement called “Nattokinase”. Here’s an AI summary.
This seems like a very timely coincidence. Perhaps the Nattokinase was really working and melting a clot and caused a piece of it to calve off like an iceberg from a glacier and go floating down stream. The worst place for one of these micro-clots to lodge is the eye! Even in the brain there’s so much redundancy that the damage from a single micro-clot is negligible and usually imperceptible, although chronic exposure would likely lead to vascular dementia. Other organs like the liver, etc. will just repair the damage and move on. But if it lands in a retinal artery it’ll cut off the region serviced and cause an irreversible blind area.
The doctors have put me on:
Plavix (blood thinner)
Norvasc (blood pressure reducer)
Lipitor
baby aspirin
More from the AIs
What is the most common source of micro clots in the bloodstream?
The most common sources of microclots (small blood clots in microvessels, also called microvascular thrombosis) stem from conditions that trigger widespread coagulation activation, endothelial damage, and inflammation. These differ from larger clots in deep veins or arteries.
Primary Causes:
The leading causes include:
…
Specific Contexts:
In recent years, severe COVID-19 has emerged as a prominent cause of microvascular thrombosis (often termed “MicroCLOTS” in literature), due to viral-induced endothelial inflammation, hyperactivated platelets, and resistant fibrin microclots. This is notable in acute infection and sometimes persists in long COVID, though the latter’s microclot hypothesis remains debated.
Microclots in these settings can impair organ perfusion (e.g., lungs, brain, kidneys), contributing to organ dysfunction. Diagnosis typically involves lab tests (e.g., D-dimer elevation, platelet counts) and imaging, with treatment focusing on addressing the underlying cause and supportive anticoagulation when appropriate.
Evidence draws from clinical reviews and pathology studies emphasizing sepsis/DIC as the classic and most prevalent etiology in general medicine.
> I came down with Covid
And did you recover from your mental illness? I guess not – you think covid is real…
I came down with something that’s measured with an objective chemical test, whose results correlated with being sick with certain symptoms. You can call what it measures “Covid” or whatever you like.

“….and in actual practice, actual nazis, men who had been part of Hitler’s apparatus, were the elders of Maidan movement.”
Do you have an examples? Maidan was in 2014. Any man who has been part of Hitler’s apparatus would have been at least 16 in 1945 which means he was at least 85 in 2014. That is possible, but it is rare that men do much at such an age.

Americans very pissed off and getting hotter with every passing day.
Maduro nabbed by US.
China to do Taiwan.
Putin to do Zelensky.
Netanyahu to do Iran.
Unmarried unowned OF sloots to disgrace even harder… not 100/day, not 1000/day, but a dick a minute this time.
The US abduction of Maduro is an incredible play. It sets the tone for the rest of globohomo: The US military can come in under dead of night and grab you without you being able to hold your population hostage in a long, drawn-out regime-change war.
Hopefully the cucks in the EU and the rest of the Anglosphere get the message.
We are securing the western hemisphere for WWIII. Theres a lot to like about this. no forward bases for China, develop the Saudi Arabia sized oil fields near Maracaibo, lower price of oil puts pressure on our enemies and rewards our friends, while boosting the american economy. destabilizes cuba and Iran, and puts a huge amount of positive pressure on current negotiations with other regimes.
My hope for this is that it mollifies Thermidor’s war faction so that we can withdraw from the Ukraine thing without them getting pissy. I’m not sure that’s what Trump wants to do, but if he does this gives him a better chance of pulling it off.
I did note that some Fox News-watching boomers of my acquaintance, who were just days ago wringing their hands about “those poor protesters in Iran,” and can’t we do something about the “Islamo-Fascist regime” there, have suddenly forgotten about that, and are now cheerleading about this instead. Whether intentional or not, it’s a step to restoring Monroe Doctrine policy.
That said, though, I do wonder about the whole ‘charging the Maduros with “possession of machine guns”‘ thing. I mean, invoking Clinton-era, Waco and Ruby Ridge, anti-gun policy, and applying it to a foreign head of state?
Is this more evidence that, like NEET says, Trump’s brain “calcified” decades ago? Or is this tossing a rhetorical bone to the other side, a ‘see, he’s a bad guy even by your standards’ sop?
Or am I just reading too much into this, and it’s just a ‘throw the book at them, charge anything and everything you can think up’ situation?
As a follow-up, I did see someone make an interesting point, elsewhere online, about how Trump spoke about this:
Justifications on basis of realpolitik and American national interests, not spreading “democracy” and rainbow flags. Another positive sign.
> Or am I just reading too much into this, and it’s just a ‘throw the book at them, charge anything and everything you can think up’ situation?
The idea that Trump has ever micromanaged the DoJ in either term is so ludicrous I’m sure it’s the above. Fortunately we can read this new superseding indictment, start at the bottom of page 22: https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1422326/dl
Perhaps too early to judge, but the kidnapping seems like a classic Trump manouvre: bold and brilliant. The kind of thing Trump wants to be remembered for and will be remembered for.
It however also cements once again the fact that Trump is calcified in the 20th century; he dreams of an international legacy, like Reagan, no matter how often anons on the internet tell him that what is needed right now is a national legacy, international politics be damned.

Information era warfare.
That is the way to do it. This was a beheading strike
No American casualties. No loss of equipment. Direct unapologetic American rule of Venezuela.
Russia was preparing for a grunts on grunts war in Venezuela, and was caught completely with its pants down.
The Donroe doctrine: “The future will be determined by the ability to protect commerce, territory, and resources”
Pete Hegseth looked like he just won a battle for his King. Marco Rubio looked like he had ants up his pants.
A diplomat should be able to keep a poker face under all circumstances. Marco Rubio is amazingly incompetent at this. It is obvious that Marco Rubio is horrified and frightened by this cheerfully seventeenth century imperialism.
Venezuelan anti-air, prepared against such a day as this, seems not to have fired at all. Seems like Trump turned some of maduro’s generals. A very smooth intel operation if the military side was theater.
So Jim, your neocon “peace president” commited yet another act of aggression, proving again what kind of “peace president” is. So where’s the trumpist opposition to empire? Oh wait, that’s just dumb propaganda.
Also, the bad news here is that Putin also proved that he isn’t too good at protecting his allies.
You seem to have confused “Peace President” with falafel eating surrender monkey.
If this operation is successful Trump is a peace president. If unsuccessful, he will retreat. Either way, a peace president.
Moscow was preparing for grunts versus grunts. Did not happen, not going to happen.
Oh yes my bad. You can pick up your mask now.
>Moscow was preparing for grunts versus grunts. Did not happen, not going to happen.
Back in 2019, Congressional transcripts alleged Trump and Putin were working to trade Ukraine for Venezuela.
Seems like a good deal to me.
The neocons were standing on Pete’s right, viewer left, during the press conference. They were looking at Pete as if they were next on his list after Maduro.
So what happens now? Are they still there? Are they occupying Venezuela? Is Maduro’s people still in charge without him? Does removing him change anything? The impression I get is this operation is potentially successful because there are a lot of local anti-Maduro “traitors” siding with the US.
If we can remove one leader, we can remove the next.
One reason to use the Delta Force is that it’s part of the Army, and it’s going to take some effort by boots on the ground to rout the the higher levels of Maduro’s regime.
Please no one compare this to Iraq unless we see signs of it going badly sideways, the cultural difference between Latin Americans and US Americans is infinitely smaller than between us and Muslim Arabs who marry their cousins.
I suspect Marco Rubio looked upset because now he’s going to have to perform at a much higher level than was previously demanded. That’s partly where this intervention will succeed or fail, like it went very badly in Iraq after a State Department functionary was made proconsul.
But the conditions for success exist, including what should be a relatively simple restoration of oil exports which will quadruple if they’re just brought up to pre-Chavez levels. A bit more money can come in almost immediately by just charging market rates for it, and most of it will be redirected anyway.
I suspect he looked upset because he is a neocon. An American victory is a neocon defeat. They don’t want America ruling. They want “The International Rules Based Order” ruling, with the New York Times and bureaucrats deciding what the rules are moment to moment.
The Guardian is the voice of the neocons and “The International Rules Based Order”, and they are throwing a fit. In their mind’s eye they see Pete’s commandos making their next stop at The Guardian.
This is flat out in your face eighteenth century colonialism. Trump goes up on the podium and unapologetically says “oil, security, commerce, resources” Meaning “Stuff the International Rules Based Order up your ass”.
If you are outside America, Globohomo imperialism, “The International Rules Based Order”, looks like almost the same thing as American imperialism, and it is hard to see any difference. But if you are an Amerikaner, looks like the opposite of American imperialism.
The rules based order is not the Whitehouse. It is an international world government that is headless, or has far too many heads, seven heads and ten horns.
Trump’s special military operation in Venezuela was what Putin’s special military operation in the Ukraine tried to be, and horribly failed to be.
Of all world leaders, Trump alone understands twenty first century warfare. Analyse the enemy network, identify a single point of failure, and take out that single point.
We could both be right at a deeper level.
I’m positing Rubio is unsettled and is showing that because this means directly personal serious demands of competence on his part, not something you expect from a Senator. What if that’s “How do I turn this into a neocon win?” Going further, to whom might he answer to besides Trump?
>Of all world leaders, Trump alone understands twenty first century warfare. Analyse the enemy network, identify a single point of failure, and take out that single point.
It doesn’t take much analysis to decide the head of state is the guy to go after. And whether or not Maduro is a single point of failure remains to be determined. Direct American rule is apt to get ridiculously bloody and expensive, and rule through local collaborators barely less so. We’ll see, but it’s way too early to be counting chickens. Iraq 2 looked pretty good at the start, too.
There is one enormous difference between Venezuela and Iraq.
Trump did not say “democracy”, “weapons of mass destruction” etcetera. He said oil and national security.
If you know yourself and know your enemy, you will win every battle. If you come up with high minded moralistic rationales, they will get in the way of knowing yourself and knowing the enemy.
>If you are outside America, Globohomo imperialism, “The International Rules Based Order”, looks like almost the same thing as American imperialism, and it is hard to see any difference.
Right, because there isn’t any difference. It’s just you using a different name for the same thing.
Also pretending that the rubio spic is upset because his neocon attack on Venezuela was succesful should earn you the World Prize for gaslighting.
If the globohomo empire was the American empire, the Europeans would be paying us tribute. Instead, Americans have been paying them tribute.
That’s just another transparent lie. The eurotards are US vassals.
So, a month ago you wrote “Venezuala is yet another step towards World War III” and now you are a trump neocon cheerleader. You are hilarious Jim.
Also, I have to thank you for the Benz video you linked, since it completely destroys the lie you are parroting here about the glory of the “american” empire. Apparently you ignored my post where I quote Benz. Here it is.
https://blog.reaction.la/war/war-and-rational-choice/#comment-2986335
Take a look at who is complaining about Trump’s cheerful imperialism in Venezuela. Most of them, certainly the loudest voices are the oppressors. The people who are funding the war in the Ukraine, the people who will confiscate your assets and throw you in jail for disagreeing with the official line on Ukraine, are the people who are screaming loudest, who are the most shocked and dismayed, by Trump’s cheerfully eighteenth century self-confident imperialism in Venezuela.
Britons complain about being oppressed by arrogant Eurocrats. They don’t complain about being oppressed by people in New York, Washington, and San Francisco.
The Venezuelan economy collapsed because the left had no regard for anyone’s property rights, whether the property owner was a giant oil company or a street vendor selling steamed dumplings.
Twentieth century history shows that a culture of private property rights is easy to destroy, difficult to re-establish.
>”No American casualties. No loss of equipment. Direct unapologetic American rule of Venezuela.”
A “big beautiful deal” was likely struck to make this so indeed. Keep in mind this is admittedly about oil.
Humungus had his aspersions of taking the compound without violence as there is always too much of. Perhaps a more honorable compromise where some are allowed to just walk away. But, I’m a reasonable man.
We have entered an ago of neo-feudalism. Anything is now possible.
Pretty hard to strike a deal which goes all the way down to every anti-air system operator and keep it secret. Maduro’s longevity in his position suggests some competence at counterintelligence.
Could be low flying helicopters modified for exactly this sort of mission, which in early reporting are to have taken some fire with one getting hit as they left, were adequately supported by a 150 plane SEAD package, going all the way up to B-1 bombers. Standoff missiles, F-22 and/or F-35 stealth fighters used as bomb and missile trucks, I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about this, for only now are Congressmen bring given briefings and the usual anonymous sources are talking to the media.
Trump made the same mistake as Park Chung Hee. By promising a transition of power putting a timer on himself, he just delegitimized staying in control for as long as needed. Both needed to come straight out and said they were unequivocally in control from day one. Now Trump can expect escalating agitation for the transition. In contrast, Lee Kwan Yew never promised a transition, and to this day is remembered fondly.
Meanwhile, everywhere else I go on the web, the consensus seems to be that this whole thing was Rubio’s pet project to begin with, that he’s the one who planned this entire operation, and that he’s been pushing for this for decades.
‘Why?’ some ask. “Because he’s Cuban” or some such.
But, as you noted, even if he wanted intervention in Venezuela, as a neocon, he didn’t want this intervention, and not this outcome.
And, putting these here to avoid making like Mossadnik with the repeated separate posts:
I’m also seeing a bunch of people who’ve previously been pretty solidly Trump-supporting announce that this is it, he’s crossed the line; making the argument (a la Jaggard here) that they voted for him because he promised not to start any more wars, and he broke that promise with this clear act of war against another nation, and so that’s it, they’re done with Trump forever, no more support from them, etc.
On the other hand, I’m also seeing a lot of people — including in rather “normie” comments sections — make points about how we can grab Maduro like this, but not some lefty female judge ordering a halt to deportation and/or crime control efforts? That we can take control of Venezuela, but we can’t take control of Minnesota? In short, that there looks like a lot of increasing demand — and increasingly open demand — for some Rubicon-crossing Augustan action.
He looked like he had ants in his pants.
If zero American losses, then he is keeping his promise.
Of course, as Contaminated Neet argues, early days yet, but I have confidence that an emperor not blinded by delusion can take care of the problem at small cost.
I tried that argument with one of them. The reply was that an act of war is an act of war even if the side carrying it out has no casualties. That if you don’t see why this action is a problem, then you were never against America starting pointless wars, you were only ever against America losing them. That they thought they were backing a president who wouldn’t just not get US soldiers killed in foreign interventions… but who wouldn’t send them on foreign interventions like this to begin with. A president who won’t put “boots on the ground” in another country for anything less than another Pearl Harbor, and if Trump isn’t that guy, then they have no use for him; or a movement that’s more anti-losing than anti-intervention.
(Now, when I asked why they weren’t this upset about any of the actions against Iran, well, a lot of ‘mumble mumble, boots on the ground, mumble mumble, nuclear proliferation, mumble mumble, stability of the Middle East.’)
There is a deep state military apparatus dedicated towards dismantling Russia, departments and teams which have over decades built their careers, salaries, medals, prestige, upon plots and programs to dismantle Russia. A similar situation exists in the pacific. There are problems with dismantling these institutions overnight even if you wanted. The logical alternative is for them to work towards running South America, Central American, Canada and Greenland at a profit. The new imperium could also shade itself a deep red rather than the classic pink of the British. Even if you really did not want imperium, but wanted just a slow dismantlement, this is still the place to put them for the time being.
About that.
Mike Benz has been dropping some fascinating verbiage lately, about how nearly all “burst foreigner inflows” — including the Irish into New York in the Tammany Hall days, and then much later Somalians into Minnesota and Ohio (where the key logistical airbases to Somalia were) — haven’t JUST been about voter importation. Not just that.
That it’s ALSO been about the CIA/State Jude and bluebloods using domestic “learning center” ethno-scams to enrich, via remittances, preferred sub-factions back in their old countries, in order to help sway their various protracted, passive-aggressive, plausibly-deniable, games-of-thrones contentions over natural resources there.
So how about this, then. Maybe I’m trusting the plan again, but also maybe not:
Straight-up “cheerfully 17th century imperialism” gets the same job done, but in a way that renders all this down-low NGO fuckery and mud-trafficking obsolete.
Now how Trump nabbed Mr. and Mrs. Maduro — and can keep them in luxurious exile at Mar a Lago for all I care — but he also cock-blocked the Nobel Prize lady, and a hundred bi-lingual NGOs all cried out in pain simultaneously. They thought they had Tropical Kabul all lined up for the next 20 years, but nope.
If Trump — and his various donor cronies, who let’s face it, have always been there and always will be — can instead just walk in and shoplift Venezuelan resources in broad daylight the old-fashioned way, then the phony-baloney NGOs and place-holding Venezuelan migrant scam pawns are no longer needed.
The merchandise is still secured and taken. That still happens. But the networks of NGOs of networks of NGOs of networks of NGOs are out of a job. Their services are no longer needed. Exxon, Citgo and Halliburton get what they need, but Soros, Catholic Charities and the Democrats no longer get what THEY need — parasitic ethnic vote banks — because they have nothing useful to offer them anymore.
So now “we” (sigh) can get Venezuelan oil and minerals, but without domiciling Venezuelans. We can get Somalian oil and minerals, but without domiciling Somalians. No muss no fuss. Not bad.
Even if I’m mistaken in detail, my general sense is that’s what this sudden surge of “cheerfully 17th century imperialism” is really about: Getting to the same loot, while putting the NGOs out of business. Fuck yo’ NGO, nigga. We just take shit now.
Plus if we can tie down our necessary loot in the Western Hemisphere, then China can just have Taiwan, and Russia can just have Ukraine, etc. The Nulands and Vindmans can cry and cry about it, but regular business life can go on.
Americans crying that Trump should send Delta Force to capture judges and fraudsters instead have a point, but this specific operation was likely the only thing that his entire coalition could agree upon. It was just large enough to involve every branch of the US military and every intelligence agency working together, but not large enough to be leaked. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs mentioned that not only were the CIA and NSA onside and providing intelligence, but that it was rehearsed for six months with no leaks.
This has been a massive asabiyyah builder, and a great first application of military/law enforcement to ensure continued strength. Trump, the military, and the intelligence agencies (or at least enough of them) can now trust each other and use that trust to do greater things at home.
I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
Yeah, we’ve heard this before many, many times. Give us what we want right now, and in exchange we’ll think about giving you some of what you want later. Maybe. If it makes sense for us. Which it won’t.
“This has been a massive asabiyyah builder”
Trust the CIA? Come on.
One has to give them that these sorts of operations is a US key competence.
Are they really, though? In movies and propaganda, sure. In reality, I can think of a couple humiliating public debacles and not a lot of great successes.
Well, it’s harder than it looks so nobody “bats 1.000” as I think they say, but they still got Noriega, Bin Laden (presumably) and so on, without causing a huge fuss.
