Did you listen to Prigozhinās update this morning? I did. He is literally saying that if he had been allowed to lead the initial (Feb 24, 2022) offensive, he would have rolled Ukraine in a week (and his ability to get about 200km from Moscow in a day is proof). And the only reason he didnāt is because the Russian MoD got in his way. As in, a year and a half later, Prigozhin is still claiming that he could roll over Ukraine in a week.
The puzzling and inspiring thing about you is that in spite of all the rabid misinformation about the war, youāve managed to hold onto your own personal brand of wrong that doesnāt agree with any narrative but also lacks any sort of foundation in reality. Itās frankly amazing.

I heard someone today say that blackrock will be bigger than JP Morgan
not sure if i believe that or not
I have a feeling when it is all said and done - Zelensky will meet an unfortunate untimely end.
I DEFINITELY do not share it. I canāt imagine he hasnāt done exactly what the folks in charge have told him to every step of the way.
Right, but he knows too much and when heās no longer needed heās nothing but a liability.

Okay. Iāll give you that, IF they can set it up to make one of their enemies look responsible.

In spite of wishcasting by some, ok, someone, this war has been over for a while now, and Russia is toast.
Itās all about the money now, and the divvying up of spoils. This war will end when thereās more money to be made by āreconstructionā.
Please do not be idiots buying a propaganda. As I said the war is 250 km away from me. It is not about the money.

And who would these folks in charge be?
I fucking love how weāre being Westplained by people whoāve watched a few videos. But in a way, besides old-school imperialism it was also about the money, as Prigozhin of all people admitted ih his coup speech. The Russian oligarchs made billions in plundering the industrial heartlands in Donbas from 2014 onwards and in Feb of 22 wanted to repeat this on a fifty times larger scale while Putin was following his imperialist fever dreams.
I donāt think you understand that Ukrainians would not stop fighting even if US stopped all support tomorrow. This isnāt Afghanistan where it would be over in a day if the US would stop supporting a brittle government.
Thereās simply no other option due to a very real threat of biological annihilation. Everyone has either a friend or a relative that are/were under the Russians and know the gruesome details about mass killings, rapes, public hangings and stealing of children. And to top it off, Russian state media is completely transparent about the hows and whys of āweāll kill all of youā.
So if tomorrow US Administration would say - āyes, Jordan Peterson was right, Putin invaded Ukraine to thwart a woke agenda and weāre stopping all supportā it would only make war bloodier.

If US stops supporting tomorrow, Eastern Europe will support. Everybody in Eastern Europe is fed up with Russia. Poland cant wait. Scandinavians cant wait. Baltic countries cant wait. If it is someone keeping the situation calm, it is NATO and US. Otherwise Poland would have invaded.

Russian propaganda booklets for their own soldiers in a captured trench, titled āthis is the difference (this is how we differ)ā.
I mean, whatās the downside for being part of the gay West - you apparently get a lot of hot tub action, an open (yet loving) relationship and a really, really freaky threesome on the side. In a hot tub again no less.
Or you can undress yourself in front of a priest in a more traditional setting.

Couldnāt concede the point w/o a little gratuitous condescension, could 'ya? Lol. And I personally havenāt watched any of the āWestplainā videos.
Only someone with zero self respect would not understand this. Not that the US ever would unilaterally stop support, because Bidenā¦bribe moneyā¦crackhead sonā¦etc.
Correct me if Iām wrong, but most people in Afghanistan were indifferent to whoever was in charge, because life sucked regardless; it was only the people being paid off by the US that pretended to āfightā.
JP is a brilliant man, and every sheeple wants his opinion on every subject, so sue him for answering from his own personal perspective.

Iām going with Putin and Russia as a whole have always wanted to wipe the Ukraine off the face of the earth, it just also coincides with fortuitous developments in the Caspian Basin and gas transportation infrastructure.

And politicians and bankers want to, and have, made it about money.
So theres a couple things going on there.

The opportunities are few and far in between so I have to condescend whenever I can.
Thereās a whole landscape of āindependent thinkersā with podcasts/youtube videos, a tell-tale sign is that a twice-convinced sex offender and Russia State TV employee is a regular fixture.
My brother did two tours Afghanistan with the Allied contingent and his anecdotal claim is that the vast majority of Pashtuns were Taliban, and the Washington was unduly influenced by the tiny Kabul āeliteā.
On a side note, he was extremely impressed by 'Murican soldiers who were super professionally fighting an unwinnable war.
Yes, and thereās racism. Not fake woke racism, actual racism. Ethnic Russian birth rates are plummeting, and the only people reproducing in Russia are Muslim, Asian or both and ethnic Russians either fear (Muslims from the Caucasus) or despise (Asians) them. So the idea in Feb of '22 was that around 40 million misguided Little Russians (assuming a few million are killed off during denazification) could be offered the third place in the Russian racial hierarchy and prop up the numbers of non-Muslims.
Coupled that with theft of industrial assets on a colossal scale (most Soviet industrial enteprises ended up in Ukraine) for Russians it was a win-win scenario. Money to be made and the Empire restored.
Russians actually believed they were offering a good deal - it was like an abusive drug addict boyfriend trying to get his ex back with a $20 gift card and the rejection threw them into a murderous rage.

Well, Washington understands corrupt politicians, itās like looking into a mirror -whatās not to like?
Human nature is human nature. Wars are about power and money, financial markets are about fear and greed, the default perspective of most people is delusionā¦
