Washington is actively splitting the EU in favor of a rabidly Russophobic Vilnius-Warsaw-Kiev axis.
Yeah, darlin’ gonna make it occur
Take the world in a love embrace
Hearth your entire weapons directly
And explode into house
Steppenwolf, Born to be Wild, 1967
The world has obtained to be grateful to the deputy chairman of the Russian Safety Council Dimitri Medvedev. Paraphrasing that iconic Chilly Conflict period string of advertisements a couple of beer that refreshes the elements different beers can not every, Medvedev refreshes these – delicate – elements the Kremlin and the Ministry of Overseas Affairs, for diplomatic causes, can not attain.
As astonishing tectonic shifts hold turning geopolitics and geoeconomics the wrong way up, and the Angel of Historical past seems East whereas america, corroded from the within, desperately clings to scraps of its dwindling Full Spectrum Dominance, Medvedev makes no bones about how a lot he enjoys “smoke and lighting”, to not point out “heavy metallic thunder”.
Exhibit One is one thing for the ages. It deserves a full quote – full with colourful English translation:
“Western politicians who’ve shat their pants and their mediocre generals in NATO have as soon as once more determined to scare us. They launched the biggest navy workout routines for the reason that Chilly Conflict.These contain 90,000 troopers from 31 nations of the Alliance and ‘nearly block’ Sweden, about 50 warships, 80 plane, 1,100 floor fight autos, together with 133 tanks.
Some levels are anticipated to happen in probably the most blatantly Russophobic and most disgusting nations to us, akin to Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, that’s, in shut proximity to Russia’s borders.
The NATO blabbers have been afraid to instantly say who these workout routines are aimed towards, and restricted themselves to empty chatter about ‘training protection plans and deterring potential aggression from the closest opponents’.
However it’s fairly apparent that this convulsion of flabby Western muscle groups is a warning to our nation. It’s like they’re saying, shouldn’t we correctly threaten Russia and present the Russian hedgehog a fats transgender European ass.
It turned out not scary, however very vital.
In spite of everything, if the Alliance itself determined to conduct workout routines of this stage, it means they’re actually afraid of one thing.
And much more so, they don’t consider not solely in victory however in any navy successes of the rotten neo-Nazi regime in Kiev. Plus, in fact, they’re understanding the anti-Russian agenda for home political functions, consolidating their dissatisfied voters.
General this can be a very harmful play with hearth.
Vital forces have been assembled. And workout routines of this scale haven’t been carried out for the reason that final century. So they’re a well-forgotten previous factor.
We’re not going to assault any nation on this bloc. All cheap individuals within the West perceive this. But when they play too laborious and encroach on the integrity of our nation, they are going to immediately obtain an ample response.
This can imply just one factor – a giant struggle, from which NATO will now not flip away.
The identical factor will occur if any NATO nation begins to supply its airfields to Bandera’s supporters or quarters its troops with neo-Nazis. They may definitely turn out to be a reliable goal for our Armed Forces and will probably be mercilessly destroyed as enemies.
All these carrying helmets with NATO symbols, who at the moment swaggeringly rattle their weapons not removed from our borders ought to keep in mind this”.
Humiliating defeat or Totalen Krieg
Heavy metallic thunder Medvedev is complemented by a excellent evaluation by Rostislav Ishchenko, who I had the pleasure to satisfy in Moscow years in the past.
These are two key takeaways:
- “At the moment, the readiness of the armies of European NATO members for an actual struggle is decrease than that of the Russian military in probably the most troublesome time ‘of the 90s’”.
- Ishchenko neatly attracts the West’s selection, “between recognition of a shameful defeat, with a defeat on the battlefield of NATO models correct, and the start with Russia of a full-fledged struggle, which the European armies can not wage, and the Individuals don’t have any power for, for they’ll interact in China.”
The inevitable conclusion: the entire U.S. structure of “Russian containment” is “crumbling”.
Ishchenko appropriately notes that “the West shouldn’t be in a position to wage a proxy struggle towards Russia past 2024” (Protection Minister Shoigu, on the file, already mentioned final 12 months that the SMO will finish in 2025).
Ishchenko provides, “Even when they handle to carry out not solely till the autumn, however till December 2024 (which may be very uncertain), the top of Ukraine remains to be close to, and to exchange them, the West was not in a position to put together one more one who wished to die for america in a proxy struggle with Russia.”
Effectively, they’re attempting. Laborious. As an example by regimenting a bunch of hyenas for the Three Seas rip-off. And by giving the CIA’s darling Budanov in Kiev free reign to stage serial terror assaults contained in the Russian Federation.
In the meantime, a confidential memo designed on the London Faculty of Economics suggests shut cooperation between the German authorities, USAID and the Friedrich Ebert Basis to construct a type of “new Singapore in Kiev”: that’s, a “reconstruction” profiting company Germany out of a low-wage hellhole.
Effectively, nobody is aware of what kind of “Kiev” will survive, and in what type. So there received’t be any remixed “Singapore”.
There will probably be no compromise
German analyst Patrik Baab has supplied a meticulous breakdown of the important thing details underlying Medvedev’s outburst.
In fact he must quote NATO’s Stoltenberg, who has already elliptically confirmed, on the file, that this isn’t an “unprovoked” struggle of aggression – NATO in truth provoked it; furthermore it’s a proxy struggle, basically about NATO’s eastward growth.
Baab additionally appropriately acknowledges that after the peace negotiations in Istanbul in March/April 2022, imploded by U.S. and UK, there may be zero belief within the Kremlin – and within the Ministry of Overseas Affairs – of collective West politicos.
Baab additionally refers to one in all Sy Hersh’s Deep State sources:
“The struggle is over. Russia has received.”
Nonetheless, the important thing level – which doesn’t escape Medvedev’s consideration – is that “no concessions are to be anticipated in Washington. The navy confrontation continues. The struggle has turn out to be a battle of attrition.” That ties in with Medvedev already making it specific that Odessa, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkov, Mykolaev and Kiev are “Russian cities.”
Therefore, “a compromise is subsequently de facto dominated out.”
Russia’s Safety Council clearly understands how the strategic idea adopted by NATO on the 2022 summit in Madrid completely militarizes Europe. Baab: “It proposes multi area warfighting towards a nuclear-armed peer-competitor. In different phrases, nuclear struggle. It says: ‘NATO enlargement has been a historic success.’”
That’s the rhetoric parroted continuous by Stoltenberg straight out of NATO’s assume tank, the Atlantic Council.
Feeling the heartbeat in Moscow, in a collection of in-depth exchanges, it turns into clear that the Kremlin is ready for a nasty struggle of attrition that would final years – past the present Raging Twenties. Because it stands, the music stays the identical in Ukraine: a crossover of snail method and the ineluctable meat grinder.
The endgame, as Baab clearly understands, is that “Putin is in search of a elementary safety settlement with the West.” Whilst everyone knows it’s not gonna occur with Straussian neocons dictating insurance policies within the Beltway, the details on the – geoeconomic – floor are unmistakable: sanctioned-to-death Russia already surpassed Germany and the UK and is now the strongest financial system in Europe.
It’s refreshing to see a German analyst quoting historian Emmanuel Todd (“WW III has already begun”) and crack Swiss navy analyst Jacques Baud, who defined how there was “a complicated philosophy of struggle in Russia since Soviet occasions”, together with financial and political issues.
Baab additionally refers back to the inimitable Safety Council’s Scientific Council stalwart Sergei Karaganov in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta: “Russia has accomplished its European journey… The European and particularly the German elites are in a state of historic failure. The inspiration of their 500-year dominance – the navy superiority on which the West’s financial, political, and cultural dominance was constructed – has been stripped away from them (…) The European Union is transferring… slowly however certainly in the direction of disintegration. For that reason, European elites have proven a hostile perspective in the direction of Russia for about 15 years. They want an exterior enemy.”
When unsure, learn Shelley
It’s now crystal clear how Washington is actively splitting the EU in favor of a rabidly Russophobic Vilnius-Warsaw-Kiev axis.
In the meantime, the “no compromise” in Ukraine is deeply decided by geoeconomics: the EU desperately wants entry to Ukraine’s lithium for the “decarbonization” rip-off; the huge mineral wealth; the wealthy black-earth soil (now principally property of BackRock, Monsanto and co.); the ocean routes (assuming Odessa doesn’t revert to its standing of “Russian metropolis”); and most of all, the ultra-cheap workforce.
No matter occurs subsequent, Baab’s prognosis for the EU and Germany is gloomy: “The European Union has misplaced its central operate”, and “traditionally, it has failed as a peace challenge.” In spite of everything now it’s the Washington-Vilnius-Warsaw-Kiev axis that “units the tone.”
And it will get worse: “We have gotten not solely the yard of america, but additionally the yard of Russia. The vitality flows and container site visitors, the financial facilities are transferring eastwards, forming alongside the Budapest-Moscow-Astana-Beijing axis.”
In order we crisscross Medvedev, Ishchenko and Baab, the inevitable conclusion is that the proxy struggle on nation 404 will hold happening and on and on – in myriad ranges. “Peace” negotiations are completely out of the query – definitely not earlier than the November elections within the U.S..
Ishchenko understands how “this can be a civilizational disaster” – maybe not “the primary for the reason that fall of the Roman Empire”: in any case, a number of civilizations collapsed throughout Eurasia for the reason that 4th century. What’s blatantly clear is that the collective West as we all know it’s quick flirting with a one-way ticket to the dustbin of Historical past.
And that brings us to the genius of Shelley encapsulated in one of the vital devastating sonnets within the historical past of literature, Ozymandias, revealed in 1818:
I met a traveller from an vintage land,
Who mentioned—“Two huge and trunkless legs of stone
Stand within the desert. . . . Close to them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of chilly command,
Inform that its sculptor properly these passions learn
Which but survive, stamped on these lifeless issues,
The hand that mocked them, and the center that fed;
And on the pedestal, these phrases seem:
My identify is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside stays. Around the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and naked
The lone and stage sands stretch far-off.
As we hold looking for mild within the darkness of madness – full with a genocide operating 24/7 – we might visualize the pedestal standing in the midst of an unlimited desert, painted by Shelley with a few elegant alliterations, “boundless and naked” and “lone and stage.”
That is all a couple of huge empty house mirroring a political black void: the one factor that issues is the blind obsession for Complete Energy, the “sneer of chilly command” asserting the perpetuity of a hazy “rules-based worldwide order”.
Oh sure, this a heavy metallic thunder sonnet that outlasts Empires – together with the “colossal wreck” vanishing in entrance of our eyes.
