Yesterday I completed a major article on the sanctions and their impacts. As Saturday readership is light, I am holding it for release tomorrow.

For now, a brief update on the situation in Ukraine. The Western lie machine continues to speak of “the Russian invasion of Ukraine,” but it is not an invasion of Ukraine. It is a limited military operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine. The Russian forces have surrounded Kiev, but are otherwise operating only in eastern and southern Ukraine where the bulk of the Ukrainian forces and neo-Nazi militias were preparing an invasion of the Donbass republics. The Ukrainian and neo- Nazi forces are surrounded and cut off. Various of the cities that they held are being cleared by Russian and Donbass forces. The Russians would prefer to negotiate the surrender of the forces to taking the casualties, both Russian troops and Ukrainian civilians, of clearing out the neo-Nazis street by street, but there is no one with whom to negotiate. The titular Ukrainian president, Zelensky, is just a Washington puppet. With or without negotiation, the Russian goal will be achieved.

The presstitute talk of sending in decades old jet fighters from Poland, mercenary armies, establishing a no-fly zone in Ukraine is rubbish. Russian air and ground superiority is total. Any such intervention would be quickly destroyed.

My concern has been that Russia’s limited objective and the care the Russian forces have taken to avoid massive destruction of civilian centers will prolong the war and provide time for the West to make two strategic mistakes: to mount a psyops campaign that will permanently poison relations between the West and Russia, making nuclear war more likely in the future, and provide time for idiots in the West to blunder into a wider war. My concern has been validated. Widespread hatred of Russians has been created by the Western governments and presstitutes, and many US senators, egged on by neoconservatives, are pushing for a wider war. But the Pentagon and Europe have resisted interventions that would widen the war as a wider war means the destruction of Europe.

There is a silver lining in the psyops against Russia. The severing of trade relations with Russia is demolishing the evil of globalism. Even Europe is now talking of becoming self-sufficient in food, energy, and defense, with Germany promising to be independent of Russian energy by next winter, a false hope it would seem. German and US companies withdrawing from their operations in Russia create opportunities for Russian enterprises to take their place. This will be a great benefit to Russia as Russian income will remain in Russia instead of being repatriated to Germany and the US. Russia should never have permitted so much foreign ownership, but the Yeltsin government was too weak to prevent Russia from being raped by the West.

Russia’s frustrating experience with the West might also break the back of Russia’s fifth column that has hampered the Kremlin from a more complete attention to Russia’s interest. The Altanticist Integrationists are enamored of the West and are willing to sacrifice Russian sovereignty to integration into Western globalism. Once Russia is free of this influence, Russia can turn its focus to the East, turn its back on the West and thereby depart the frustrating relations that eventually would lead to a major war.

We have reached the point where peace requires Russia’s withdrawal from interaction with the West. Russia’s natural allies are China and Asia, and Russia’s military superiority can protect Silk Road development from US intervention. As Putin himself has said, the Western world has despoiled and rejected its own values and is disintegrating into corruption and debauchery. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlaHubJ- fKk&t=47s

The flood of propaganda on Fox is hard to stomach. Certainly there is some truth there -- propaganda usually contains some of it as it otherwise wouldn't be digested at all, though I could believe reports Putin is facing rising discontent among the Russian population. RT isn't addressing or countering that notion so that could well be true.

But Roberts write-up above seems a credible assessment for the most part, with the notable exception of:

Russia’s natural allies are China and Asia,

I disagree strongly. Russia and China are in no way "natural" allies. They are very different culturally and religiously. Russia has lots of empty real estate and China has lots of people, and that's an invitation for disaster. What they do have in common is a shared animosity from the USA and that's about all. And that means that at whatever point the USA no longer matters which could be soon if the dollar collapses, Russia and China will quickly discover that they have problems in their diplomatic relations.

Putin has a 5th column problem in Russia.

I doubt China has any interests in Siberia other than exploiting natural resources. There is a lot of empty space in China too and for good reason plus they are worried about their declining birth rate.

China has had a one child per family policy for many years. If they have a problem with declining birth rates that is something they have created for themselves. ;)

The 3 child policy just replaces the 2-child policy. They are not at negative growth rate yet but its getting close
