Washington has gone to great lengths to prepare Kiev “to wage a hybrid war against Russia,” a major US news outlet has said
You can see why Washington wants to close RT down.
It seems that the US is trying to bankrupt Russia.
Because of the sanctions, Russia made close ties with China, which now has the most powerful economy in the world, but it needs resources, and Russia is very resource rich.
Also, Russia is a world leader in computer technology, and when the US banned Western companies from supplying chips, Russian companies were able to make up some of the short fall with even better quality chips.
The Russian /China alliance is very powerful.
To keep it's economic and technological supremacy, it seems that Washington is prepared to murder millions of people in the wars that it creates. What happened to good old fashioned capitalism, markets, and competition? Well, that all gets thrown out the window if you're not winning all the time.
Lots of CEOs have told Washington that they are not scared of the competition, and, in fact, it strengthens their companies in the long run, they say.

Thank you, Washington, for making the Russia-China alliance possible.
Lets go Brandon!
It's just about over but it all depends what over means ?
As you can see here...
https://thesaker.is/day-10-of-the-russian-special-operation-in-banderastan/
There's a HUGE difference in how they operate compared with the west. For different reasons.
I'll try and explain it but I doubt that will be enough as it is so complicated.
Western Ukraine is just about as far right as you can get . A Nazi hang out after WW2 and even named their streets after some famous Nazis who moved there after the war. Who continued to attack the Russians after WW2 ended. Even today their children are taught Nazi songs.
Eastern Ukraine is in the main Russian.
Why the Minsk agreement was So important. Was a plan to keep Ukraine neutral. Give both sides a voice in the Ukraine parliament. Both sides a veto when it came to either joining NATO or joining Russia.
Because Ukraine flipped from Russia to the West via the NATO coup de tat in 2014 and it is such an important geopolitical chess piece. We decided to claim it for ourselves. Was a Putin red line and he wanted the Misk agreement signed to keep it neutral.
Via Divide and Rule we put a puppet in place. Climbed in bed with the Nazis in the West and armed them to the teeth and trained them. Played games with the Minsk agreement and never even had the first meeting between Western and Eastern Ukraine. Allowing Western Ukraine to bomb Eastern Ukraine for over 7 years.
Once Putin realised ( be tried for 7 years while Eastern Ukraine was being bombed) that the Minsk agreement was not going to be signed. He gave NATO an ultimatum that was completely ignored.
He went in soft. With surgical strikes
a) To try and get them back around the table.
b) They are all Ukrainians regardless of the division in the country. Wanted to denazify the country and disarm it and start the Minsk agreement. Kill as few as the normal Ukranian army who aren't Nazis as possible.
c) Used less than a third of the army stationed in the border. No heavy weapons and very few aircraft.
All that has changed.
The second week Putin increased C) still hasn't used the heavy weapons that much because of a) and b). Sent more troops and aircraft into battle.
Until now we have:
The Russian attack began, as predicted, mostly by strikes with standoff weapons. 24 hour hours later the Ukie air force and navy ceased to exist. In this initial phase, few Ukrainian units were directly engaged.
The bulk of the Nazi forces is in Donbass and it took the LDNR forces several days to break through the Nazi defenses, but eventually they did it in two directions. At the same time, while the heavy combats between the Nazi forces in the Donbass and the LDNR forces were taking place, the Russian launched a two pronged offensive from the north and south to envelop the Nazi force concentrations.
Interestingly, in spite of the fact that the two Russian forces have not reached each other and in spite of the existing no man’s land between them, the Ukronazis are not making any serious efforts to break through since they must realize that the entire area between the two Russian forces is a big “free fire zone” for Russian artillery, CAS aircraft and attack helicopters. For all practical purposes the entire Nazi concentration of course in the Donbass is now locked into an operational cauldron.
The same is true for the Nazi forces in Mariupol. For them, it’s curtain down, show over.
There is a large Nazi force left in only one location: Odessa. It appears that the Russians want to encircle it and then take a final decision on how to deal with this city.
Kiev is a total mess, the Russians did not even try to enter the city yet, but the crazy rumors combined with terrified Ukronazis will make this one a particularly difficult situation to resolve. Blocked the city on all sides, agreed to open a humanitarian corridor and wait until the time is right.
The Ukrainian Side:
Air Force: gone
Navy: gone
Long range, standoff capabilities: gone
Air defenses: gone
Regular ground forces: no less than 65% (some say up to 80%) of the Ukie military is surrounded and condemned.
Assorted Nazi units: are now either in the Donbass cauldron or in Mariupol. They will mostly not be taken prisoner, except for the leaders who will be tried and sentenced for their innumerable war crimes.
At some point next week the Nazis and Ukranian army will be surrounded in 3 couldrons. Then that just leaves those hiding in cities and that takes a long time to fight through.
What happens next :
The country will have to be petitioned either by a version of the Minsk agreement or a new border drawn up between the West and East. Or we will be back here in a few years time. NATO will still send weapons to the Western part whatever that ends up looking like. Keep a light under the divide and rule strategy. Russia will keep the whole South Eastern border and their ports.
The sad part is in 2014. The Ukrainian army didn't want to fight and went home. However the Nazis in the east who have had 8 years done two things.
i) Filled the Ukrainian army with more conscripts from the West. More ideological would fight until the end.
ii) Conscripted more Russian 's from the East and put them on the front to take more casualties. A divide and rule strategy and why Putin went in soft at the start.
It didn't need to be this way.
If the Minsk agreement was signed that would have been that. The neoliberal globalists via their divide and rule tactics had caused a mess that will be with Ukraine forever.
The Assov brigade are surrounded and about to be destroyed. Russia is going to try their leaders when caught for the atrocities They performed against Eastern Ukraine.
The Assov brigade won't let normal citizens leave via the humanitarian corridors that have been agreed and are using them as human shields. The worst cases being in Mariupol.The
The Russians are moving street to street trying to clear them out.
The problem is which nobody seems grasp yet is where does the new border get drawn to protect Eastern Ukraine from Western Ukraine in the future. So that we don't end up here again in a few years time.
Or will Putin decide to take the lot. Push the Western Ukrainians into other countries as refugees.
If you listened to his press conference today he is moving towards the 2nd option. He thinks NATO will just keep arming Western Ukraine and it will never end.
Why the Minsk agreement was So important.
Western Ukraine could have vetoed Ukraine joining Russia. Eastern Ukraine could have vetoed joining NATO. Both would have been represented in an independent Ukraine. Each side had a veto.
The globalists chose the other route. Divide and Conquer.
It reminds me so much of the mess left behind in Ireland, Serbia, Cyprus and India. That's what divide and conquer achieved in the end.
Never ending battles that hurt so many people So they can be controlled politically. It is Evil.
Compare that with Shock and Awe !
NATO completely destroys cities and bombs them into oblivion.
Ukrainian cities will still be standing after this over unless the nukes fly.
The 2nd option leads to an occupation of Ukraine, which is a mistake.
A large part of America and the Western World still don't believe Western Ukraine is Fascist. That we jumped into bed with them and armed them to the teeth.
They believe it is propaganda. Just a talking point.
I've been there to watch international football it is rife. Seen it with my own eyes.
The streets are named after famous Nazis from WW2. Stepan Bandera Ave is a shopping mall. You can check it out on Google earth.
The Guardian in 2019 who Now deny that they Even exist and that we funded them and armed them to the teeth.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/apr/11/ultranationalism-in-ukraine-a-photo-essay
The BBC in 2014 who Now deny they exist.

Watch Yevhen Karas the leader of Ukraine's neo-Nazi terror gang C14's speech from Kiev earlier this month. Straight from the horses' mouth, he dispels the many narratives pushed by the mainstream media and the State Department. A complete madman that wants a Nazi state.

And their children...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jiBXmbkwiSw
So what did the nazis do while it was Soviet Union?
Even if they were 20 years old in 1945 by 1995 they were 70 years old, have to be dead now…
I’m calling bullshit…
" The 2nd option leads to an occupation of Ukraine, which is a mistake. "
Sure is creates another Afghanistan. That would keep Russia bogged down for years.
But if they won't sign the Minsk agreement. Keep funding and sending arms to Western Ukraine. Whatever that looks like if a new border splits Ukraine in half. What other option does he have ?
It will happen all over again in a few years time?
Nobody is thinking this far ahead yet. As they don't realise what has been in play.
It's not rocket science Matt.
They were always there Matt but had no power. After the wall fell more moved in from other countries like Hungary and Poland. You been to Hungary and Poland Matt ?
It's as if to prove they were no.longer commies. They had to become as far right as possible.
Most of them from 1945 are dead but politically they found a home in Western Ukraine. These are the descendants of that political movement.
Just look at Trump supporters and how the Nazis in America and how they tried to hijacked America first.
They appeared out of the cracks and jumped on Trumps bandwagon.
These psychos who made Western Ukraine their home took control of Ukraine after 2014.
Check out Stephan Bandera yourself Matt.
Put stephan bandera flag into Google after checking out Google maps and see the street named after him which is a shopping mall.
The
They worship the guy like a god. Who fled to Ukraine after Berlin fell in WW2.
They drape Ukranian government buildings with his image once a year. Hold a festival for him.
That's the side we are on after calling Corbyn and Bernie antisemetic.
Which were all lies.
The globalists have gone bonkers complete and utter psychopaths that don't care about anybody but themselves. They are lunatics that control the most powerful country in the world.
Yevhen Karas the leader of Ukraine's neo-Nazi terror gang C14's speech from Kiev earlier this month. The video I posted up.
He tells you straight doesn't even try and hide it.
The people who fired the shots in the Square who started the revolution was these guys.
" if we didn't do it. It would just have been another gay parade "
'
“ Who fled to Ukraine after Berlin fell in WW2.”
All those people have to be dead by now.,, do the math.,,
Anyway. I've been there seen it with my own eyes in 2006 if I remember right in a football tournament play off. We got beat 2-0.
You either believe me or you don't.
We play them again at the end of this month in a world cup play off. It won't be in Ukraine that's for sure.
We'll let them win no doubt.
Glasgow Celtic supporters got fined £8,619 by UEFA for waving Palestinian flags at a home game and yet every football ground has been waving Ukrainian flags this week.
The fans started a crowdfund to pay the fine but instead managed to raise £176,000. the balance of the amount was donated to Palestinian charities.
The Hypocrisy stinks !

They have to be either grand children or great grandchildren of the nazis…
Or are you saying you don't have Nazis in America because they all died out in 1945
LOL!
Get a grip FFS.
Stephan Vandera is dead Matt.
Cold stone dead ...
But look ...

@Footsoldier
I'm interested in the video with Yevhen Karas speaking.
I've checked by myself and there is indeed a (1) Yevhen Karas, who (2) is a leader in C14 and (3) the guy speaking in the video seems to be the same guy Google Images calls Yevhen Karas.
I'm neither saying I doubt it, nor am I saying I believe it ... yet.
Before anything, I'll need to know a few more things.
(1) Has that video been checked, to make sure there is no editing or anything?
(2) Has that video been published by any news outlets?
(3) I understand that more details may not be available, but if there are any, I'd be interested.
(4) One least thing. The video is translated. Has the translation verified?
Magpie,
Ask the Saker or moon of Alabama if it is genuine they will confirm it or deny it.
Both of them have been kinda saying the same thing since 2014.
A guy called Alex Rubenstein posted it up here.
https://mobile.twitter.com/RealAlexRubi/status/1497747535783411714
And This also seems to validate what he’s saying by Dan Cohen and Scott Ritter
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IexFtDCJNsM&feature=emb_imp_woyt
Anya Parampil speaks with Moscow-based international affairs analyst, Mark Sleboda. Sleboda assesses Russia's military maneuvers in the early days of the conflict in Ukraine and evaluates the possibility of a Syria-style dirty war erupting in the country. Sleboda also explains how the war has ushered in a "great decoupling" between Russia and the West and why he believes it represents the "end of the unipolar world.
Once again since 2014 has been saying the same thing.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l9RSsvTR06k
That's 3 different sources Magpie. The Mark Sledoba video is well worth a watch.
Christopher Hitchens brother Peter Hitchens who is right wing has been on a one man crusade in the UK to get the truth out there. His Twitter feed has been on fire for a fortnight. When they lined up to deny that NATO expansion wasn't discussed when East Germany rejoined West Germany. Peter simply showed everybody the freedom of information requests.

Peter Hitchens has put up photos of the Assov brigade in their Nazi uniforms on his Twitter feed.
There's that much evidence out there now. It is getting to the point that those who deny it should have to prove that they aren't nazis.
The western media used to talk about them freely as my links show above the BBC and the Guardian. Right up to the point when we started funding them and arming them to the teeth. Now there is a media blackout on the shit show they created.
Now why the whole solution has become more complicated. Putin is now thinking about taking the whole lot. Especially, since the West has tried to cancel Russia. They say Russia has been treated since they started the campaign.
It is British foreign policy 101.
The Americans used the different factions of the Muslim religion in the same way throughout the middle east.
Divide and rule. It shouldn't even be a surprise anymore.
I've seen it with my own eyes. I've been there.
So I know anybody who denies it is lying or just plain stupid.
This is when the funding actually started.
Jan 2016 - When congress lifted the ban on funding the neo nazis in its spending Bill.
https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/congress-has-removed-a-ban-on-funding-neo-nazis-from-its-year-end-spending-bill/
Another thing is you anti war guys are not anti war because you are concerned for human life you are anti war for some other reason because you are pro Putin who is pro war which makes you pro war…
Hypocrites… make a decision are you anti war or not?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volodymyr_Zelenskyy
“ Zelenskyy is the first Jewish President of Ukraine. With Volodymyr Groysman as Prime Minister, Ukraine became the second country to have both a Jewish President and Prime Minister.”
A bunch of nazis aren’t going to elect Jewish leadership…
You guys are conflicted because you are anti war and supporting Putin who is pro war…
So now you are conjuring up a bunch of nazi fantasies to deal with it…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-justification
“ Self-justification describes how, when a person encounters cognitive dissonance, or a situation in which a person's behavior is inconsistent with their beliefs (hypocrisy), that person tends to justify the behavior and deny any negative feedback associated with the behavior.”
Textbook 101..,
Matt you are in complete denial.
And still trying to use your own narrative and framing to say that I am lying about what I saw with my own eyes in Ukraine.
Have you ever been to Eastern Europe Matt?
Zelensky replaced civilian governor of Odessa with Maxym Marchenko, ex-commander of the far-right Aidar Battalion, subject of an Amnesty war crimes report in 2014.
https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/eur50/040/2014/en/
Zelensky promised the Minsk agreement when he was running for president. As soon as he won power he done a full 180. He made several promises to Eastern Ukraine but as soon as he won. Surrounded them, bombed them, stopped 3 Russian news stations and banned The Russian language in Schools.
The Nazis understood he was a NATO plant. He could have been a midget with 6 heads as far as the Nazis were concerned as they ran the government.
Zelensky had no power NATO and the Nazis held all the power. Zelensky was a patsy. Who has now fled to the US embassy in Poland now that he is surrounded. Scared that he didn't know where the fatal bullet was coming from. His own side of the Russians.
Matt, have you read the links I put up. The neo-Nazis are a minority but they are armed and dangerous and told Zelensky that he had a date with a grenade if he didn't follow orders. Although he was opposed to them at first, he has been playing along quite well since then after the offer couldn't refuse.
One of the negotiating team with Russia that was open to compromise was gunned down on the street after the meeting.
Another thing is you anti war guys are not anti war because you are concerned for human life you are anti war for some other reason..
That is just delusional. Have you ever served in the military during wartime? I have. That's when I became anti-war. That was back in the Vietnam days when Russia was still the USSR.
Matt,
You are either in complete denial or Just plain stupid and fallen for the kool aid.
I've been to Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, Moldova, Serbia, Poland, Czech Republic and Russia with the Scotland football team. Never missed an away game for nearly 20 years.
In total in my lifetime 108 countries across the globe.
Where have you been In Eastern Europe ?
It is pure arrogance or ignorance to say what I've seen with my own eyes is a myth. I wouldn't dream of doing that to you. It wouldn't even cross my mind.
My advice - Stick to your balance sheets or get out and travel more.
"All those people have to be dead by now.,, do the math.,,"
Agreed.
In logic and math in order to show that something is impossible, you assume that it's true and then you show that it creates a contradiction. It's called "proof by contradiction." The most famous example is the one where the ancients Greeks proved that the square root of 2 is indeed irrational (not irrational in the putin sense; that is, mad). That proof is one of the greatest human intellectual achievements.
"Russia was still the USSR."
Tom, Russia was the USSR.
Re. Vietnam: Your generals thought they were John Wayne. They thought that the Vietnamese would be a pushover. Canadian diplomats who had served in Vietnam warned their US counterparts that the Vietnamese would fight to the end. Unfortunately, it fell on deaf ears.
And therefore there cannot be a bunch of Nazis in Ukraine? Political ideology won’t survive their founders and new political movements based on Nazism cannot grow again when the right circumstances occur?
Math logic doesn’t apply here.
“ But to say they are “nazis!””
They are and you don’t know what you’re talking about. Accept it and live with that.
Whole of human history is replete with warfare and you guys are saying “this is outrageous!”
You’re like vegans saying eating meat is outrageous… meanwhile everyone is eating meat..
You are the abnormality..
Once again you argue with ghosts. Moron.
No, not math logic per say, but logic.
Need I post the photo of Putin shaking hands with a Russian neo-nazi? all smiles. Really this fucker is as fucked up as they come.
Neo-nazis/holocaust deniers in all countries. I mean, "they're good people on both sides," remember?
Now, give me a sec while i try to recall which two countries rounded up for hire all the real-McCoy nazis after WW2 for their special expertise...
I can't think right now -- in the process of explaining to my kid why radians is a more natural, and more simpler, way of measuring angles. Lose the degrees.
You want to hear something outrageous and crazy?
Sure you do :)
The guy who divulged that the square root of 2 [What number times itself gives you 2?] was irrational was whacked. He was warned: mum's the word or else.
This posted in the links a couple of days ago:

Then search on "wolfsangel Ukraine." Different search engines return different results.
The wolfsangel is the insignia of the Azov Battalion, with which the Russian and Donbass forces are chiefly engaged now in the southeast. They are now surrounded and in a cauldron about to be "boiled."
The story in the West is that the evacuation corridors for civilians trapped there were close by Russian shelling. The other side of the story is that the Azov Battalion was detaining the civilian as human shields as it has been doing.

This was earth-shaking at the time since the prevailing worldview was that the universe is rational. This blew up everything.
Same with QM. It blew up the worldview based on classical physics by positing randomness as foundational. Even Einstein could not accept it, saying that God does not play dice.
The Russian phrase that translates as 'neo-nazi' is a misnomer.
If it was translated as 'terrorist' as it should have been, then most in the US would understand.
This is just Osama bin laden in reverse. The US didn't ask permission to go into Pakistan then either.
Yo, Tom posts stuff from Caitlin johnstone here all the time… she is like the pinup girl for global anti war movement…
Now supporting the war…
You’re all Hypocrites…, can’t make a gd decision…
Just root for Russia if that’s what you want to do…
I have to say I agree with Wilson's comment:
This is just Osama bin laden in reverse. (March 6, 2022 at 11:13 AM)
That is certainly a real and terrifying possibility. The Taliban, ISIS and Al Qaeda all had a saving grace: they were fighting with AK-47. Their most sophisticated weapons were RPG. That's why they had to rely on improvised explosive devices, trucks, suicide bombers and flying planes against buildings.
Imagine now right-wing terrorists armed with Stingers.
The fact Zelinskyy is calling for foreign volunteers is not reassuring.
Neo-Nazis are guilty of cultural appropriation. For Slavs to use insignia associated with Nazi Germany is absurd. German Nazis considered the Slavs to be subhuman.
Europeans are well-known for their internecine hatred. 'Nazi' is a convenient pejorative for audiences outside of Europe looking in. We could label Rwandan Hutus as 'Nazis' and that would serve as an adequate descriptor.
As for the actual nuances, only the groups involve care about such details.
Escalating very quickly.
Let's see how mouthy and aggressive NATO are now.
"Russia to view provision of military airfields in NATO countries to Kiev as involvement in conflict."
The middle class liberal metropolitan elite who thought they were safe. Will soon change their war mongering tune. Now that their sofas won't protect them.
Now everyone is holding their breath.
Quite frankly the way Russia has been treated who can blame them.
Whatcha saying now sleepy Joe ? Ya war mongering bullying bufoon.
Joe and Congress will maintain the pretense that they are the good guys.
I didn't know that Antonio Banderas was a nazi.
But to my credit, I do know who liberated Grozny from the "nazis." Of course he had to level it flat before it could be liberated.
Two links:-

“ blew up the worldview based on classical physics by positing randomness as foundational.”
Those are the people who get Art Degrees in “Physics”….
