The only real anti-war position on the Ukraine conflict is support for de-escalation, diplomacy, and detente. Yelling “PUTIN BAD” and calling for escalations that could lead to a very fast, very radioactive WWIII are not anti-war, and indeed such sentiments are being exploited to prolong this war.
No efforts are being made toward diplomacy and peace, only toward escalations like building an insurgency and unprecedented economic warfare which fit perfectly into pre-existing US agendas against Russia. This is in the exact opposite direction of peace.
De-escalation is a skill we’re meant to start learning in kindergarten. These people act like they learned their de-escalation skills in the Minneapolis Police Department.
If you want to keep screaming that Putin is Adolf Hitler and even insignificant concessions like promising not to add Ukraine to NATO would be Chamberlainesque “appeasement” then go ahead, but don’t pretend you’re anti-war or pro-peace, because you’re not.
Wars end in one of two ways: with diplomacy and negotiation, or with mountains of corpses. If you’re opposed to any kind of negotiation with Moscow to bring about peace, then you want the latter. And if you do, you should get your bitch ass on a plane and join the front lines.
Ukraine is still accepting foreign volunteer recruits. Go on all you brave blue-and-yellow keyboard warriors who scream at anyone who calls for negotiations with Russia to end this war. Put your life where your tweets are.

Condemning Putin is the easiest, safest, most redundant, least courageous thing that anyone in the western world can do right now. What’s a lot harder at the current moment is taking a bold stand against the west’s depraved role in getting this war started and in keeping it going.
Demands that you precede every criticism of the west’s role in this war with an enthusiastic condemnation of Putin are just vapid tone policing to silence your very valid criticisms. Nobody truly believes there’s not enough condemnation of Putin in our current media environment. They just want you to shut up.
❖
I’d like to see a poll asking Ukrainian mothers the question, “Would you sacrifice your son for the remote possibility of future NATO/EU membership and control over Crimea and the Donbas?”
Because those have been the conditions for ending this war for over a week.
❖
People who believe this conflict started on February 24th 2022 are as naive as people who believed America’s racism problems started on January 20th 2017.
This conflict began in 2014 when the US backed a coup to oust Ukraine’s government. Experts have been warning this was coming ever since:
❖
It gives me no pleasure but I’m confident western powers won’t start World War 3 with a Ukraine no-fly zone because western rulers don’t give a fuck about Ukrainians. They’d much rather watch every single Ukrainian die a horrible death than risk their own deaths via nuclear armageddon.
The main danger of the calls for a no-fly zone is not that they’ll be listened to, it’s that they push the Overton window of acceptable debate much further toward warmongering extremism, so supporting extreme things like mass-scale economic warfare becomes the moderate position.
People tend to overestimate the power of the US war machine and underestimate the power of the US propaganda machine. They won’t fight a war for Ukraine, but they will use it to build international support for unprecedented acts of economic warfare and funding a bloody insurgency.
So nuclear war over a no-fly zone seems unlikely. There’s still no reason to believe these idiots won’t get us all nuked some other way amid all this brinkmanship, but they’ve got enough brains and self-preservation instinct to avoid deliberately attacking the Russian military.
❖
(NATO powers saying a chemical weapons attack may get NATO involved in this war) + (Ukraine has been pleading for direct NATO involvement since it’s their only chance of winning this war) = Strong incentive for Ukrainians to stage a chemical attack and frame the Russians for it.
❖
It’s very unpleasant to be subjected to the 24/7 deluge of unbelievable vitriol and McCarthyism that speaking out against the west’s role in this war gets you these days. I understand why more people don’t do it.
I’m not complaining; I know it comes with the territory. I’m just saying I understand.
Those who love peace and have enough inner clarity to see through the propaganda tend not to be thick-skinned keyboard warriors. We’re sensitive people with gooshy hearts, and it doesn’t take much to shut a lot of us down. I’d be the same if I didn’t have my healing practices. I’m sure there are many others who haven’t been able handle it.

Claire Wolfe’s more general rant….
I mean, seriously. What does one say?
Well, one thing one says is to get yourself and your loved ones as far out of this putrid, pustulent, pernicious, posturing and potentially fatal preposterousness as fast as you can.
Get yourself out of it locationally. Get yourself out of it psychologically. Get yourself out of it economically. Get yourself out of it morally. Get yourself out of it culturally. Disconnect yourself from both its benefits and its snares (which are often one-in-the-same) as much as you possibly can…
You waste your time if you try to reason out the catastrophes they’re causing. You grant them too much dignity and credence if you argue what they should be doing instead of what they’re now doing. You misdirect your life if you engage with them or their numerous useful idiots as if they were decent, sensible people. You’re laughable if you try to reform them. You’re delusional if you believe some Hero of Liberty will sweep in and drain the swamp. You’re pathetic if you still, after all you’ve seen and experienced, imagine that “electing the right people” will work for the good of the nation or the world. The “right people” (right in their own minds, that is) are already running things and you will probably never even learn most of their names.

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
“Come on all of you big strong men, cuz Uncle Ze needs your help again”
If they think their bunker will save their ass’s, they’ve got another think comin’. Those miserable bastards all have to come out and face what is left of us and we won’t be friendly.
Correct! You do not even need guns to take these people out. There are as many ways to eliminate the evil ones as the stars in the skies.
These fuqueres will “risk” our asses to keep a lid on the breathtaking corruption of the Clintons, Bidens, and Obamas relating to Ukraine. Along with minor oligarchs here, surely there are grifting scum from other places deeply involved. John Solomon has an article at “Just The News” that gets into the culpability of the Clinton Foundation and how Uranium One etc. are involved in this shit show.
Fact is that Biden, Obama, and the Clintons received millions from Russia in back door deals over the past couple of decades. What this situation really is, is international criminal gangsters who have had a falling out. Russia and its oligarchs have received control of industries, including uranium, worth billions in exchange for hundreds of millions in direct bribes to the royalty of the Democratic party. The expectation was that this criminal partnership included Russia’s obedience to the Globalist’s. That was not the case. Now that Russia will not tow the line, it is being attacked by its former cartel partners. What you are witnessing is much like a war between drug cartels, but on a national level.
There are no good guys in this conflict, only one group of bad guys trying to enforce dominance over the other.
Read this if you want to really know what is going on.

The drug cartels are wholly owned subsidiaries.
Reminds me of Notepad++, which is actually a very nice Windows-based Editor.
But the (French?) authors are just droning Wokeists – and I’m really waiting to one day read “Stand with the CIA” on their Downloads page: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/ (scroll down to 7.9.2)
Maranatha.
Soon
I’m not so confident that the US won’t do a no-fly zone or otherwise directly enter the war against Russia. Sometimes shit just gets away from you.
They can pick all the wars they want, but they want have such an easy time getting anyone to fight in it. The draft bullshit is not going to fly in this diverse country.
Another scenario is the West begins moving mass quantities of NATO troops into Poland, and staging them on the Ukraine border. When the threat gets large enough, Putin uses hyperbaric weapons to wipe them out, and then NATO retaliates with nukes. Biden runs and hides in his bunker, and the rest of us witness the mass population reduction.

In the video link right here, vlogger James Corbett reports on a comprehensive document posted on February 24, 2022 that outlines the global agenda. The document is a joint statement from the U.S. and Canada and posted on the Government of Canada’s website. The same document is posted on the Kremlin’s website as well.
So don’t be fooled by Hegelian binaries; and, once again, consider the February 24, 2022 timing of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the seamless channel change from Covid, and along with other specific outcomes:

And, surely, in the interest of fairness and equity, the emerging multipolar world is for everyone regardless of whatever they might believe (note the colors of Ukraine and Russia):
The concept of racism is a jewish trick to destroy European Christians.
Corbett’s “Joint Statement” is a cloud of smoke from his pipe, it’s been debunked…
Yeah, I read the article too.
In my opinion, Erhet’s seemingly visceral rejoinder didn’t even begin to address Corbet’s detailed analysis.
If Canada took down the document that Corbett referenced as posted on 2-24-2022, is it debunked? Or do you think Corbett was lying? Or is Matthew Erhet lying? Neither did Erhet claim the document’s similarities didn’t exist on the Kremlin’s website.
A lot of questions were raised that have easy answers, but none of Corbett’s revelations were actually debunked (in my opinion).
So it will be interesting to see if Corbett cares to debunk the “debunker”.
If he doesn’t, maybe I will in my next article.
Zel playing “Hava Nagila” with his dick. Seriously.
De-militarizing Ukraine, Russia, and NATO – all 3 at the same time and at the same pace would actually work out well for all. It’d be better than a billion or two dead.
Brave keyboard warriors: Doesn’t it always seem like the loudest, wannabe individual, influencers turn out to be the greatest conformists? ya just can’t keep a good sheep down.
