I’ve been reading an article about, among other things, all the hate for Russia “spontaneously” outpouring from the people of the West, on the slightest provocation of CIA-controlled media. The author said this:

The civilized and winning West is showing that it really knows the score: Russian students are expelled from EU colleges (a similar idea is now floated in the USA), even neutral countries like Switzerland have closed their airspace to Russian carriers (which Switzerland really did not have to do since all the countries neighboring Switzerland already did that), and Russian citizens can’t even fly across Canadian airspace on their way home to the EU from the USA (just happened to a friend of mine).  I fully expect “Russian Standard” vodka to disappear from US stores (we bought all the last ones we could).

Maybe we will soon be treated to YouTube videos showing (US or Ukie) Nazis machine-gunning Russian “matrioshka” dolls followed by thunderous cries of “Glory to the Ukraine!  Glory to the heroes!“?

Russians are being expelled from sports clubs, musical events, cultural events and pretty much from everywhere where something “Russian” can be treated with hate and contempt.

These are Orwell’s two minutes of hate, but drawn out over days.

This is an russophobic Kristallnacht, but officially organized and praised.

I want to add one more thing about all this: nobody, absolutely NOBODY, is forcing the folks in the West to act the way they are.  No Gestapo, no SA/SS patrols – nothing.  Just the US PSYOPs and the eager willingness of these folks to “show Russia” in some way.

I thought: indeed, how would I explain this? And then I remembered something I heard long ago, regarding leftover minefields from the war in Yugoslavia. In some village, children found a “live” landmine, and started throwing rocks at it. Fortunately, someone ran to get an adult in time to stop this expression of hatred for a bad and dangerous thing they saw. Unfortunate, in this case it’s the adults that are telling the children to throw more and bigger rocks at the landmine, because, what’s the worst that can happen?

The western powers are implementing a comprehensive ban of all news and commentary sources that break their propaganda wall regarding Ukraine (and probably other things that are difficult to verify now due to all the noise).

Apparently their “values” cherish the freedom of speech as long as it toes the government line, which is exactly as much as all totalitarian dictatorships allowed throughout history. Remember me having a problem with “human rights”? If you allow governments to define your rights, you implicitly allow governments to take them all away. That’s why stuff worked here in Europe when we had a universally accepted religious definition of right and wrong; it meant that states and their governments could only work within a very superficial layer of legislature, while the deeper layer was untouchable. When we lost the religious foundations – in French revolution first – we got centuries of slaughter.

Some fresh and direct information from the ground:

Putin increased the level of preparedness of the strategic forces to the “highest level”, which would be the equivalent of American DEFCON 3.

Americans seem to be in shock that this is happening and can’t seem to understand why. Apparently, decades of “being tough on Russia”, sanctioning Russia, threatening Russia and demonizing Russia in all the media, that’s not serious and the Russians are supposed to take it like a naughty little schoolboy faced with a teacher who is giving him lines. They don’t understand that if you threaten and insult someone who can kill you, he might actually do it. America apparently doesn’t really get the diplomacy thing. They think it’s about threatening and punishing those who don’t do their bidding, and don’t understand that you can’t do that with a nuclear superpower that controls half the world.

China is starting to talk to North Korea directly, which basically means that if America continues provoking Russia in Europe, China will cook them up a very serious distraction in Korea, Japan and Taiwan in order to divide their attention, because China knows that in a nuclear war scenario America always had a plan of nuking China for good measure, regardless of whether the war is actually involving China. For the Americans, t’s always a matter of removing both hostile powers, and when those two powers actually unite to conspire against them, they will react with shock, surprise and feeling of betrayal. Yawn.

Russian information sources are currently under attack and heavily suppressed by the West, and the Western propaganda machine is raging and raving nonsense that has no connection to any kind of reality. I’m afraid that the majority of the population is just buying it. Some because they don’t know better, some because they are too evil and stupid to know better.

From what I could gather, the Ukraine intervention already produced its actual goal yesterday, which would be to cut Ukraine into pieces, envelop the parts where there’s opposition, control the open ground, control the airspace, make it impossible for foreign powers to act there with impunity, and make it impossible for a hostile army to organize an attack on RF. Since the actual goal is to deal with America and their NATO puppets, it is actually impossible to make Ukraine completely secure while there are external forces that might feed any insurrection, so complete pacification of Ukraine can’t really be a realistic short-term goal; other things have to be dealt with first.
