SAKER SEES WAR BETWEEN WEST & RUSSIA

Guest Post by The Saker

An update about the blog

Major issue: the future of the blog

Last year I took three months off for health reasons.  That was the time when the Internet was flooded by a Tsunami of nonsense about Bucha, Kharkov and other Russian “strategic defeats” and I knew that 3 months down the road, all that nonsense would peter out.  And it did (see this interview of Colonel Maccgregor if you want details).  As for me, I took my first break from blogging since 2007 and it was very beneficial to me as it allowed me to take care of some health issues I had neglected.

In the past I have indicated several times that should it come to a direct war between the USA and Russia I would shut down the blog because being a guest in the USA (I only have a “Green Card”) while my country of ethnic origin is at war with the USA puts me in an impossible position.  Again, while I have lived a total of 26 years in the USA, and all my family has US passports by birth, I never requested a US passport (my only citizenship is Swiss) and that is why I think of myself as a guest of the USA.  This places both moral and legal obligations upon me which I cannot and will not ignore.

True, we are not quite there YET, but with the German Foreign Minister declaring that the EU is at war with Russia, and knowing that the EU is just a colonial administration, we are very, very close to a fullscale war between the US and Russia.  What is even worse is that I don’t see how such a war could be avoided.  I explained that in my recent post here.  Simply put, there is *zero* chance of the US/NATO/EU victory, which means that the US Neocons will be faced by a stark choice: defeat or go nuclear (and even that won’t yield a victory for the United West).

Putin tried everything in his power to avoid that outcome, but he was not dealing with rational actors – which is a key assumption of any theory of deterrence – and so it is the US Neocons forced this outcome on the entire planet.

What the US Neocons will eventually decide is impossible to predict: yes they are cowards, but they are hate-filled cowards.  And I am not so sure about their self-preservation instincts simply because they are too ignorant and stupid to understand the danger.

Frankly, I am appalled and disgusted by the current situation.

I have been warning about these risks since 2008 (that is FIFTEEN years ago!) and all my efforts and all the efforts of those who tried to prevent this from happening have failed.

More relevantly, I don’t think that there is anything meaningful I could contribute to even marginally affect the current situation: I often feel that I have said all that I had to say, I did everything I possibly could, and that now further efforts would essentially be wasted as the guns will do all the talking.

To be brutally honest, I am no prophet and maybe, by God’s Mercy, the current war will not explode into something much larger.  Yes, that is still possible.  But I personally don’t see how so I REALLY hope that I am wrong in my conclusions.

But as of today, I think that only some kind of miracle could prevent a major escalation.

This begs the question: what would be the purpose for me to continue?

Then there is also this reality: I have a wonderful family and that family needs me.  For years I have fully invested myself into this blog and now my family is telling me that they need me.  How can I ignore that?  Furthermore, I am under no illusions about the future of the USA (or Europe, for that matter), which means that bad times are ahead, and my family will need me even more than they do now.  Again, how can I ignore that?

And yes, while some of my health issues have improved, others have deteriorated and my strong feeling of burnout, disgust and horror about the current dynamics are not helping.

And then there is this: there are other people out there who are doing a great job of informing and analyzing.  These are the authors I can sincerely recommend: (in no special order)

and, of course, there is the larger Saker Community:

These are all (the only) legitimate Saker Community sites, but they are run independently.  Make sure to check them out too!

I understand that the worst part about shutting down the blog would be that it would also shut down the platform for our absolutely *fantastic* community of guest authors which, frankly, has been the biggest asset of this blog.  I wish I had a way to keep them going without me, but I really don’t see how (any ideas?).

Now just to be absolutely clear: I have not taken any decisions yet.  My only goal today is to truthfully and honestly inform you.  I also would very much like to hear from you, especially those of you who have supported me for so many years.  While I cannot promise anything, I can promise that I will listen to your suggestions and opinions.

In the meantime,  I want to give myself some time to pray, think and consult with my family and friends, but I don’t want to keep you in the dark about where I now stand.

You’ll be missed, Andrei. In your absence, I’ll stay close to Col. MacGregor and Scott Ridder to get the truth. Good luck to you and your loved ones. We’re all going to need that.

The (((Khazarian Mafia))) has been at war with Russia for over a thousand years.

The US FEDGOV, and it’s sheeple population, is just the latest sucker stooge to be the sacrificial lamb bag holder for the KM.

The KM’s intent is that USA is meant to be bled dry of blood and treasure by the KM, by instigating an all out War with Russia, and using each country to eliminate the other.

Read it all and research it independently yourself, and find out what I did…that it’s all tragically true….

Another source of truth to be silenced……..( this time for other reasons).

I knew (but hoped to be wrong) that with the Patriot Act we were finished as a Country in 2002.

What % of people know the truth and are prepared to act?

7% is my best guess…………….

All US citizens are dangerous to the power hungry Govt.

And most US citizens are dangerous to those of us who love liberty and freedom.

I suppose this is why death awaits us.

Will it be War, starvation, insurrection, Vaxx?

Perfectly put;
I can’t add anything noteworthy beyond that.

Stop trying to be rational. A loss that fucks up a country, keeps them making money, and kills lots of enemies (on either side) is a win in their book. Look at every other war for proof.

Neocon is just anyone who puts israel first.

I’ll miss you, but it’s understandable. In addition to the sources you mention, I recently found someone in Russia who reads the Russian news in English and discusses what people in Russia are hearing.

Few will survive,but they will survive. They may even thrive once the systems of tyranny are removed. The masses may not know,we do . We are enough. A nuke war is as bad for the km and traitorous federal system as it is or us. They think they can hide in d.u.m.b.s and bunkers,I wonder what will go wrong? I am sure counter measures are lined up for both countries hard targets. Who will win? Neither, maybe the average joe and jane that survives, for once. Fallout,and nuclear winter hopefully won’t end the species. God they really are this insane aren’t they? I hope your health improves. Stear clear of modern medicine and docs. Homepathic remedies are better for most things,unless you need antibiotics.

There is no Nuclear Winter.

And darn little fallout nowadays.

Unless we really piss off the Russians.

I really dont think you actually understand what ‘nuclear winter’ is or what the cause would be. The exact thing happens if massive volcanoes spew ash into the atmosphere, or it is also a primary concern were the earth ever to be struck by a meteor impact… any particles that would be suspended in the atmosphere for a length of time would reduce any warming the sun might have done that allowed life to bloom on this planet. If all countries took to exploding nuclear bombs across the globe, the same effects would occur.

it’s obvious, the US has been pushing for this since the Maidan coup in 2014, they need war to cover up their economy imploding due to massive money printing and grift, and are backed into a corner. Russia feels the same way.

Read Bill Cooper, he saw all this 40 years ago.

Andrei, thank you for all the past writings. You will be missed. I’ve noticed all the 404 articles have gotten shorter and shorter. As you said now the guns are doing all the talking. These events make all thinking people turn their attention toward home, family, and all the mundane activities that keep us grounded. We can’t hold back the tides.

Respectfully, I can understand Andrei’s dilemmas – even to the point of identifying with some of his conclusions.

However, if ya can’t stop a tidal wave ya might as well try. But even then, it becomes a matter of where one’s efforts will yield the best results as possible.

Accept the advice of an 80 year old who has done work for the CIA, military, authored a book predicting what was coming, jailed for blocking abortion clinics, went on missions to SE Asia, etc, etc. Stay home, protect & love your family and pray a lot for our Father to send His Son soon. Their are plenty of good warriors like Paul Craig Roberts, Scott Ritter, Alex Jones, Steve Quayle & Col. McGregor to take up the slack.

Dear Sir
You might think about setting up a paid substack.com account. Your blog has great value and is worth charging for. You would not have to charge much but would add up as I suspect you have many followers. Substact is as easy as using a simple word processor. God Bless your decision but please don’t leave us.

Andrei, whether you end your blog now, voluntarily, or it is ended for you via nuclear war OR some kind of tyrannical move sans war, it will end. All conservative blogs will end soon, so you may as well go out under your own terms. Your family needs you… go… and thank you for the many years of sacrifice. Godspeed!

You said what you needed to say. Were I you, I would huddle with my family also. May the Almighty watch over you and grace you with eternal life in His Son. These times were foretold

This war is retarded. I still don’t understand why I am supposed to give two shits about either country. How is a country most people can’t find on a map the tipping point for a war? What’s in it for us? They still haven’t explained Iraq to me.

This could end, very quickly, if only those with the training and skill set would USE THAT TRAINING AND THOSE SKILLS TO HUNT AND EXTERMINATE. GOD ALMIGHTY GUYS, YOU SIT AROUND AND PISS YOURSELVES IN FEAR AND RESIGNATION EXPECTING DEATH. YOU ARE BEING HUNTED AND THEY ARE MURDERING ALL OF US. THE RIGHT TO SELF DEFENSE…..USE IT.

C’mon, Andrei! The USA!USA!USA! has not declared war on anyone in over 50 years!

Vietnam? NOT a war. Grenada? NOT a war! Iraq? NOT a war! Afghanistan? NOT a war. And so on and so forth.

Sure, we’ve a few “skirmishes” here and there. Maybe a “police action” every now and then. Sometimes we even have enthusiastic “kinetic actions”. And when we’re bored as shit we might drop a couple thousand tons of bombs on some poor schmucks in order t bring them democracy.

But, a declared war?? God forbid! And certainly never ever against the Rooskies. How many times does Comrade Josef (Biden) have to literally say “no boots on the ground” in 404 until you believe him?

So, stick around pal, if at all possible.

===========================

Without exaggeration, The Saker was the VERY FIRST site that I found which didn’t bullshit me about the truth in Russia/404. I’ve been reposting your articles here right from the very beginning.

Sure, others can pick up the slack. But, you were the first, the Original, the man with enough Brass Balls to call it like it is. And the best. If you must go, then know this; — you will be sorely missed, by many.

May God guide you and grant you wisdom.

Thanks for all you have done.

You can’t reason with a nation of feminists and homosexuals. Kruschev told Nixon that his Grandchildren would be Communists just like Russia. And it’s even worse than that. Both sides have to burn just like Sodom and Gomorrah. God will see to it. But it’s global. Not just Russia and the west.

Maybe you have not been watching the absolutely dismal effectiveness of the Russian military, but I have. I don’t think the Russians could defeat “The Republic of Togo” much less NATO or anybody else. Their big worry should be China, who claims the entire Russian Far East.

Andrei, since you, like many of us, see war coming which the U.S. cannot win,
why not remove yourself and your family to a safe(r) place that will likely not
see war, such as Paraguay/Uruguay (Brazil is to volatile), nations with good
resources and low populations and somewhat sophisticated people in their
their main cities? You can continue the blog there, too.

FYI, I live in Belize, and live well.
