Colonel Douglas MacGregor: “This is the last gasp of the globalist elite… The unipolar moment is over. The United States cannot bully everyone everywhere all the time. Russia is not Iraq”
How Mariupol Will Become a Key Hub of Eurasia Integration
…So the grand North-South design spells out fluent connectivity from the Russian mainland to the Caucasus (Azerbaijan), to West Asia (Iran) all the way to South Asia (India and Pakistan). None of these key players have demonized or sanctioned Russia despite ongoing US pressures to do so.
Strategically, that represents the Russian multipolar concept of Greater Eurasian Partnership in action in terms of trade and connectivity – in parallel and complimentary with BRI [Belt and Road Initiative] because India, eager to install a rupee-ruble mechanism to buy energy, in this case is an absolutely crucial Russia partner, matching China’s reported $400 billion strategic deal with Iran. In practice, the Greater Eurasia Partnership will facilitate smoother connectivity between Russia, Iran, Pakistan and India.
The NATO universe, meanwhile, is congenitally incapable of even recognizing the complexity of the alignment, not to mention analyze its implications. What we have is the interlocking of BRI, INTSC [International North South Transportation Corridor] and the Greater Eurasia Partnership on the ground – all notions that are regarded as anathema in the Washington Beltway.

The True and Rightful President of the United States of America
We all know it. It’s wrong to pretend otherwise. A frail, incompetent interloper (and his parasitic handlers) is destroying USA while also risking nuclear war. His worthless backup, Harris, is even more frightening. No great nation can continue on this path and remain intact. Something must be done. It is time to act boldly. Delay no longer. ABN
Gonzalo Lira and Scott Ritter on the war in Ukraine; link now leads to a recording
This is a first-rate overview of battle tactics and political considerations on both sides. Russia is set for total victory, Ukraine has no cards left to play, NATO will very probably not intervene as costs would far outweigh benefits. ABN
FLASHBACK 2011: “The goal is not to completely subjugate Afghanistan. The goal is to wash money out of the tax bases of the US and EU through Afghanistan and back into the hands of the transnational security elite. The goal is to have an endless war…”
Notice that the endless war in Afghanistan was replaced almost immediately by what may become the endless proxy war in Ukraine, with ample room for mission creep. Compare Julian Assange to Joe Biden and how our society assess and rewards them. Shows how far off we are, how profoundly lost we are. The senile serial crook is president while the brave journalist is dying in prison. ABN
“Ignore Kiev, ignore Kharkov (where I am), ignore the rest of Ukraine — THIS is the important bit, this is where THE battle is taking place: The eastern Ukraine cauldron, around Kramatorsk”: Gonzalo Lira
Ignore Kiev, ignore Kharkov (where I am), ignore the rest of Ukraine — THIS is the important bit, this is where THE battle is taking place: The eastern Ukraine cauldron, around Kramatorsk.

60,000 fighters are caught here, the bulk of the AFU.
They have no chance of resupply or reinforcements, and they have run out of gasoline.
Once they have been neutralized (one way or the other), everything else in Ukraine will fall, and the war will end.

Re-Visiting Russiagate In Light Of The Ukraine War
…The most important thing to understand about the Trump-Russia collusion narrative is that it began with western intelligence agencies, was sustained by western intelligence agencies, and in the end resulted in cold war escalations against a government long targeted by western intelligence agencies. It was the US intelligence cartel who initiated the still completely unproven and severely plot hole-riddled claim that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to benefit Trump. It was a “former” MI6 operative who produced the notorious and completely discredited Steele Dossier which birthed the narrative that Trump colluded with the Kremlin to steal the 2016 election. It was the FBI who spied on the Trump campaign claiming it was investigating possible ties to Russia. It was the US intelligence cartel which produced, and then later walked back, the narrative that Russia was paying Taliban-linked fighters to kill allied occupiers in Afghanistan which was leveraged by Democrats to demand Trump escalate further against Putin. It was even a CIA officer who just so happened to be in the right place at the right time that kicked off the flimsy impeachment narrative that Trump had suspended arms deliveries to Ukraine.

The thesis of this piece is too narrow and too US-centric, but the heart of it is real: Cabal hates Putin because he kicked out cabal’s oligarchs who rose to power and enormous wealth under Yeltsin. Cabal, or the Anglo-Zionists who control the West, expected Putin to be a Kamala Harris type of braindead puppet. But he was not. He took back Russia and they are still pissed. They are now using Ukraine to fight a proxy war against Russia, something they can maintain for decades. Cabal and WEF are intermingled. They lust after control of Russia, the denationalization of the West, and eventually control of the world, to be subsumed under some globalist garbage similar to the EU. Ukraine is one move on the chess board in this Grand Game. They already dominate 85% of USA won by asymmetric warfare and information control. ABN
