I cannot deny that I have an enormous respect for the Russian people, and that’s got nothing to do with communism. I remember a case of an airplane in the eighties or nineties, could it be a Tupolev can’t remember. I couldn’t take off because some part of the engine was failing. So what to do in this case, what would we westerners have done? For sure get out and wait for an airplane fully equipped, but no there was an engineer who asked for money from the passengers to have the part copied and made in a shop nearby where they can do impossible things, so within a couple of hours everything fixed and the plane took off. This shows our dependency and poverty in relying on others, and this shows also the super advantage in technology of NATO and US forces, but bitterly failing in improvisation according to the situation on the field. It’s no surprise to me that they have teams repairing their destroyed tanks and engines on the spot, and the F16 Belgian or Italian are nothing more than sitting ducks, too vulnerable to be applied and certainly to burn as easily as all western army equipment. Work for yourself, you couldn’t put it more exactly, it swings.

That Macro piece you wrote is great. I wonder if the breakaway areas will still employ command economy tactics on their populations as a means of hanging on to the energy mix necessary to engage in highly competitive multi polar geopolitics.

Hi John. Here is something about values. Those powerful assholxs of capitalism, sitting in Washington, London, Brussels, Dubai, Shanghai etc etc can think what the hell they want. They are Wrong. So here,

Values attached to wealth are numeric and can be exponential (+ or -). Physical value of things like property, infrastructure, vehicles, machines, personal belongings etc does not remain constant over time. Human (qualitative) values include friendship, love, well-being, diversity, spirituality, duty, beauty and justice. These three value systems do not sync with each other. Thus, a conflict occurs when we try to quantify (measure) wealth with happiness, income with well-being or material assets with quality (and security) of life. Systems in nature are not numeric or exponential. As a rule, material assets devalue over time. Because nothing in nature is limitless, the numeric and physical value systems which we live by, are clearly at odds with human values and the finite planet. Hence our personal level of autonomy equates to our capacity to invest, foster and enrich qualitative values, that we share commonly.

Great article! Thank you!

In one text you cite it says, "NATO's goal is not so much about achieving decisive military victory on the battlefield, but to inflict pain on Russia" enough for a Maidan situation. Certainly but in addition I wonder, given the frequent mention of high losses in Ukraine, if another purpose of those installing the New world order pilot lab in Ukraine with Diya app and biolabs etc, is grinding up as much of the male Ukrainian population in fighting age, in reproducing age and, potentially at a later date, in the age for getting nationalist ideas of wanting their country back as a normal country. Which it must never be, seeing the functions this territory fulfils geostrategically and economically (grain etc). And while this may seem unbelievable at the present juncture, imagine after a few years or a decade of US overseeing the country. Is it unimaginable that after that experience, and with ongoing evolvement of the multipolar part of the world, it might become a better prospect for many Ukrainians to imagine going together with that part of the world? After all, the population is said to be rather traditional, conservative to begin with and the Diya process could intensify that even in younger people after some time. I think such a development is not unthinkable and from Western perspective needs to be ruled out as much as possible. Therefore, is Ukraine by the protracted war being purposely emptied of its indigenous male population to then more safely and effectively be governed as a large US overseas territory?

Collapse of the USD may be the most likely way the unelected Deep State will finally collapse on itself, unable to pay/bribe further. Collapse would hurt everyone, no doubt, but those at the greatest altitude would be hurt the worst. Such a shame... /s

Hundreds of years have come and gone on this ship of fools. The owners of the ship are registered under front names and the officers and crews come and go.
