Belle Rose,
Patience, patience. Putin is doing a lot of self-sabotage and is getting undermined by his own men. “Never get in the way of your enemy when he’s about to make a mistake” and “The wise Generaĺ wins without fighting.”–Sun Tzu The Art of War.
To add to Reg’s and Unseen’s videos:
Putin’s own men are turning on him:
Russian POWs say they ‘were used like a meat shield’; ‘They sent us to death’

Don”t you get it? When Putin deferred to Xi over when to invade Ukraine, he showed that he wasn’t the bad-ass everybody thinks he is. He showed himself to be a miserable parasite who lives by ties and pull. That report revealed Putin’s thumb-screw, and possibly many thumb-screws relating to Xi’s Red China.
Now that we know Putin’s thumb-screw, we can get hold of it and turn and turn until it hurts and we can get him to back down.
Diogenes Lartius, an eccentric philosopher and writer who lived in a barrel in a park in Ancient Greece, was once offered a wish by Alexander The Great, Macedonian conqueror of the known world of his day and regarded by many as a God.
Diogenes then spoke his wish: “Stand out of my light.” Basically, Diogenes told this global gangster: “Move, Bub! You’re harshing my tan line!”
🌤🤴😎
Alexander, instead of killing Diogenes, said to his friends: “If I were not Alexander The Great, I would wish to be Diogenes!”
Diogenes then replied: “If I were not Diogenes, I would also wish to be Diogenes!”
Robert Kraft could have easily been Diogenes to Vlad The Impaler and The Little Bush Boy both and offered them a box of Cracker Jack if they love rings and their accompanying prestige so much.
Likewise, all people of the world who love Life, Liberty, Property, and The Persuit of Happiness can equally stand up and tell all would-be world conquerors like Putin to stop throwing shade and break out the Super Soakers to back up their demand.
Again, Frederick Douglass put it so well: “Power concedes nothing without a demand…”
It is nonsense to blame an invasion of a country that poses no significant treat to another country as “provoked” by others because they are members of voluntary organisations. Total absolute nonsense. There is no reason that Russia could not join these organisations if they were sincere in respecting the values behind that organisation. There never needed to be a Russia vs everyone else in the west and all these countries have every reason to have aligned values. Former Soviet block members and Slavic countries are part of NATO and the EU, Russia easily could be so and it takes infantile logic to see how it would benefit all.
Russia is invading Ukraine because it is in the interests of the leaders and their elites. It has nothing to do with these fables of “security” or creating a “sphere of influence”. Those are excuses. This invasion is a catastrophe for Russia’s long term influences. Inviting other countries to join voluntary global organisations is not a bad thing. Only people like Chomsky could frame it as so. As though it is the fault of voluntary organisations like the EU and NATO for not discarding possible members because of the ludicrous greed and ambition of the leaders of a former super power.
