Fade to Black in Ukraine

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

“Following the ouster of Mr. Trump in 2020, this new-new-left had exactly what it had been clamoring for, a liberal Democrat in the White House. Given the sense of impending catastrophe at present, it may be difficult to remember precisely how much sniveling bullshit went into selling Joe Biden.” Rob Urie

You guys... I just saw this on Instagram... *gulp* : r/zelensky

Have you noticed that the president of Ukraine (or, governor of America’s fifty-first state), Mr. Zelensky, has been globe-trotting for weeks: London, Helsinki, Paris, Hiroshima? That’s because this is one of those months when years happen; the world is changing at hyper-speed. He seems to be running scared, a little bit, trying to keep ahead of the changing game. What sounded like a great idea to a certain claque of so-called neo-cons in our country — to use Ukraine as a bear trap — has instead rather suddenly revealed Europe’s and America’s manifold bankruptcies and revolted the whole rest of the world outside of Western Civ. Oh, the wonder and nausea!

Try to imagine Mr. Zelensky’s predicament. Mighty America and redoubtable Europe conned the former comedian to thinking that if he went along with a genius scheme to ruin Russia and knock Vlad Putin off the global gameboard, his sad-sack country would be transformed into something like Ukro-Disneyworld, while he, Mr. Z, would be lionized and made rich beyond his wildest imaginings. His backup was the greatest hegemonic power the world has ever seen. The game was called Let’s You and Him Fight.

The poor schlemiel fell for it. He let NATO (that is, the USA) set-up, equip, and train the largest army in Europe, including battalions of bad-ass, hard-core Ukro-Nazis — who had previously been so useful in the American-sponsored 2014 Maidan “color revolution.” Mr. Z followed the US State Department’s orders to rain down rockets and artillery on Russian-speakers who lived in his own eastern provinces. He formally applied for membership in the NATO club. His country received billions of US dollars without audit oversight, just screaming to be creamed off by Ukraine’s leadership — who, after all, deserved a little something for all these goings-along. What could go wrong?

Thus, Western Civ kicked off Europe’s biggest hot war since the 1940s. So, in February, 2022, Mr. Putin had enough of the monkey business on his “front porch” and sent in a clean-up crew. Game on! The US neo-cons were ready to feed countless Ukrainian troops into a meat grinder that would, theoretically, exhaust the will and resources of the execrable bear and yield countless benefits reinforcing our dominant position in the world. Our hapless NATO “partners” went along with the program, despite being asked to commit economic suicide for the greater good of the alliance (or something like that). Anyway, they didn’t need that filthy Russian nat-gas. They were going “green” (Klaus Schwab said so, didn’t he?)

Meanwhile, the citizens of our country were groomed to perfection by the US Propaganda-Industrial Complex screaming “Russia, Russia, Russia,” at the behest of opinion-leader Hillary Clinton, a wannabe president. The news media demanded crucifixion for her opponent, Mr. Trump, who had idly tossed out the heinous idea that The USA and Russia could cultivate a friendly relationship, seeing as how the bear was no longer flying the red flag. Aye-yi-yi!!! He actually said that!?! The clueless orange boob!

Well, the folks running things in America — that is, the scores of unelected bureaucratic satraps guarding their nests throughhout the Okefenokee inside-the-Beltway, especially the gator-pit known politely as the Intel Community — decided to subject Mr. Trump to a one-man version of the exquisite torment intended for Russia, Russia, Russia: pain, ignominy, and ruin. They’re still at it six years later, since the relentless Mr. Trump will not give up his crusade to take back the White House and defenestrate all those attempting to defenestrate him. His enemies have captured all the levers of legal power, and yet, amazingly, they can come up with nothing but the most rinky-dink charges to railroad him in captured jurisdictions.

This internal political conflict in the USA has driven the populace plumb insane, while it has rendered our institutions rancid and left us subject to a pathocracy hiding behind a laughably fake chief executive. After two-plus years of America’s genius scheme to maintain world dominance, Russia is doing really well, thank you, in constructing a geo-economic framework for trade that will not be subject to the pranks of USA-led Western Civ. Russia is a nation of people who regard themselves as men and women, the toils of gender confusion happily absent. Ditto race hustles. Ditto banking Ponzis.

After two-plus years of “Joe Biden” — well, our country is bypassing the banana republic stage of dissolution and depravity and steaming quickly into a Hieronymus Bosch dystopia of financial, social, psychological and moral ruin. Every official utterance is a lie. Everything’s broken or breaking. And seemingly, on-purpose. The nagging question, of course, is on whose purposes?

And why is Mr. Zelensky flitting from one country to another the past month? Because the game of Let’s You and Him Fight is drawing to a close and Mr. Z may find himself fatally unpopular back on the home-front. He has managed to send upward of a hundred-thousand young Ukrainian men to their deaths in the meat-grinder, and perhaps a million more have hightailed it for other countries. Ukraine will now be a land of mostly women, children, and old folks — with just enough surviving soldiers left looking to hunt down the comedian who turned Ukraine into another one history’s sick jokes.

Yes. Russia methodically takes HALF of Ukraine. The West runs out of ammo to give to Ukies as they run out of Ukie cannon fodder. A deal is made to stop the fighting. Russia will be stupid enough to believe the West is going to honor it. And the shitshow starts all over when the West breaks the deal, again.

Just my guess.

I’m really looking forward to the 2024 – 25 window: Russia will have stabilized its Ukrainian/European front, the FUSA will be in open social disarray (if not worse), and the FUSA military will not have yet deployed any effective countermeasures to Russia’s hypersonics. Nice time for a first strike… and not by the FUSA.

You are right.
Also think what will happen is the death of the European Union, and that pretty soon. Smaller Nations are only going to take so much thievery before a leader arises that has the citizens behind them, and Germany and maybe Poland are the only linchpins with nato. Hungary is already making some noise.

The way England is going, I doubt it will be migration by choice, it will be a pogrom, with Y.T. as the target.

Invaders will be immune to prosecution as they are just “expressing their culture” while any Y.T. will be charged with a hate crime for defending themselves. Already happening.

BTW, apparently that word, POGROM, is another Jewish owned word like “Holocaust”. At least the impression if you read any online dictionary definitions.

Ginger – FYI
The white ‘untermenschen’ have nowhere to migrate to in any EU 5 EYES Nazi location, it is one big frying pan. And they are universally brainwashed to hate themselves and to obey and love their captors.

There is also the stubborn delusional fool factor (you should be familiar with this one). White Boers in South Africa are being systematically erased and survivors are cordoned off in Soweto-Part-2 camps and yet they refuse to leave. Look at the pictures of those camps (the MSM has disallowed mention of them but they are easily findable if you try).
There is no White Knight or valiant Samuel Adams defiance coming in any of those countries, and it has been obvious for decades.
Germans and Poles are the most suicidally insane castrated Schwab-Nazi Kool-Aid death cultists on the planet. Their farmland and nuclear energy plants have been shuttered and their response has been to lick Nazi boots to a death cult shine. Poles are now worshiping and fighting for the SAME Stepan Bandera cult Nazis in UKR who mass-murdered a half million Polish civilians in WW II!
“Hungary is making some noise”? LOL they don’t even have the balls to leave the EU or stop donating huge dues to SchawbNazi HQ. And if they did have balls, where is the mouse that roared gonna go?

What you “expect” is a fantasyland TV-show ending where ‘happily-ever-after’ arrives just before the screen credits. This aint TV.

hardscrabble – you need to think it through,
Vlad does not have the economic scale or the conventional force volume to “defeat NATO”.
His country GNP is essentially Mexico-with-Nukes.

Vlad has to defeat NATO to survive, because the 5 Eyes/SchwabNazi gang insists on a fight to the death and will force WWIII ESPECIALLY when the Ponzi bubble pops, because idiot AmeriKans always worship their Nazi rulers in a manufactured crisis with a scapegoat (9-11, 2008 2020 fake-COVID-bailouts, and now with UKR-Nazi-glorification)
If there is “no nuclear war” then Vlad loses and the SchwabNazis win.
Vlad can buy time with SMO economy of force incrementalism a bit longer, but the ONLY way that Vlad can win vs the ScwabNazi alliance is through escalation dominance. He ONLY has a winning hand if he plays his strategic nuclear ace.
And financial annihilation of the SchwabNazi Ponzi system does not mean “no nuclear war”- it guarantees one.

If/when the Ponzi financial implosion kills off Deagal-levels of serfs, the globalist elites are fine with it. They love de-population and the military hardware still works. They are fine with a smaller hill as long as they own it all, now and forever. That’s why they call it the Great Reset. They have pressed the reset button many times before to get to western world dominance and they will not stop pressing that button now.
Financial implosion means that the SchwabNazi elites will be even more determined to militarily provoke Vlad conventionally -and with nukes if necessary – to get WW III going, fix a scapegoat, and set who is king of the globalist elite hill.
Every step of the way, the SchwabNazis have FORCED escalation, from the Nazi 2014 coup, to violating the Minsk accords, Donbass genocide, nuke placements all along Russia’s border, and dual prupose ALCMs, and now bombing raids and assassination attempts inside Russia.
What part of WWIII come Hell-or-High-Water don’t you understand?
You really think these satanist elites will fold because the serfs (who they hate and want to kill) lose everything they have? Really?

The only question is, do the SchwabNazis nuke first with a false flag (VERY likely since false flags are the only thing they do well) or a direct strike on Vlad – OR, does Vlad decide, correctly, that his only chance is to nuke the head off of the snake first?
Either way, pretending that this shit show does not end in all-out WW III is whistling through the graveyard.

1) Globalist warmonger Jake Sullivan, who is in charge of filling O-Biden’s empty brain with WWIII strategy, boasts that the Nazi alliance will strike Crimea. And this comes just after Britain delivered Storm Shadow ALCMs into UKR, and the US announced F-16 planes that also launch ALCMs will be delivered to UKR to hit Russian targets. Including in Crimea.
“Storm Shadow missiles, which have a range of more than 250 kilometers, give Ukraine the capacity to strike well behind Russian front lines and as far as Moscow-occupied CRIMEA,” the US government-funded RFERL underscores.
2) Russia has made it clear that striking Crimea (location of their ONLY warm water port at Sevastapol which is economically and militarily essential) would be attacking Russia itself and would be inviting full-scale world war.
3) Sullivan responds that “we have not placed limitations on Ukraine being able to strike on its territory and we believe Crimea is Ukraine.”
4) To which Crimean Deputy Prime Minister just replied the White House has “agreed to unleashing a nuclear war.”

But hey, a local hardscrabble farmer, who is a military specialist after sleeping at a Holiday Inn Express, says not to worry, he categorically promises “there will be no nuclear war.”
So nothing to notice here. Pass the hopium.
Maybe if we down vote reality enough it will disappear? Hmm.

China’s support of Russia has, in the words of Xi, no limits.

If China decides that Russia cannot lose then China will provide everything that Russia requires to win this war against the Globohomo West because this war in Ukraine is a proxy between the China and the United States.

It will China in league with Russia that decides where and when this war will end.

No idea and don’t really care, but doubt a nuclear war will happen. If it was going happen, why wouldn’t they have already done it? Makes zero sense.

Besides, I’m more concerned with what’s happening in my backyard, your backyard, than across the globe. Nuclear war is the least of my concerns. Probably some correlation with my lack of fear from dying. If it happens, nothing you can do about it. If it doesn’t, then great, we get to live a little bit longer with the shitshow. Potayto/potahto

CrashDavis

Abigail, If you care about your “own backyard”, you are forced to care about what happens, and who runs the show, “across the globe”. Because YOU do not own your backyard, THEY* do. THEY* own and run ‘your’ backyard, and they are running it into the ground at WarpSpeed, on purpose. And they tore down all the borders of ‘your’ backyard and your front yard too.
And they need an endless war boogeyman to blame that deliberate demolition on so that all the serfs will worship their executioners (just like they did on 9-11 and 2008 bailouts, 2020 bailouts and now )

DO you need help figuring out who THEY* are? Probably not.
They are your detention camp commandants: the SchwabNazis (HQ is “across the globe” not DC), and their BIS IMF and CB minions who are WEF elites, and their minions here like Yellen, ‘O-Biden’, Romney, Haley, and every globalist NeoCON NAzi in the Deep State.

What happens in the Donbas means everything to ‘your’ backyard because if/when Vlad fails in his protection of Russian-speaking UKR citizens there(mass-murdered by the Nazis that the US-EU-Soros-WEF-McCain scum put in power) then THEY will focus on torturing and erasing YOU in ‘your’ backyard exclusively.

So, to be clear: I get that you are not scared of dying in a WW III nuke-fest event (because it may be the least horrible result given how ruined the world is, or because Russia’s vast strategic nuclear force escalation dominance can cut off the head of a lot of elite SchwabNazi snakes, or because you are ready to meet your maker etc).
BUT, if/when Vlad is vanquished “across the globe” on the UKR/Russian front conventionally, WITHOUT a nuclear conflict, then you need to care about that A LOT.

Because then your only way to avoid hell on earth will be suicide or getting FAR away from ‘your’ backyard, which is actually THEIR SchwabNazi backyard.

The immediate future of ‘your’ backyard is going to be determined by the success of Russian patriots like Teplinsky defeating SchwabNazi proxies in Kiev, and by mother Russia advocates like Girkin and Vlad overcoming traitors in their own country (like WEF leader and satanic hideous witch Nabiullina).

That battle decides how much QTL (quality time left) you have to reside in ‘your’ backyard before the SchwabNazis tear it asunder.

To be fair Abigail, a lot of things make zero sense to me because I know nothing about them, like why women go the bathroom in groups. I am certainly no expert on group dynamics of women in social situations. But at least I know that I do not have the answers there.
So too, you should at least acknowledge that the reason military, particularly strategic nuclear, policy makes “zero sense” to you may be that you know nothing about it.
For anything to make sense you would have to answer questions like:
How important are Columbia class nuke subs in the US force structure? How effective is the latest Russian sub tracking technology and when is it coming online? How many Poseidon sub-blasters have gone operational? How many of the latest RS-28 Sarmat ICBMs will be deployed and operational by this fall? etc.

But as you noted, if the nuke blast comes you would rather not worry about it. OK sounds good.

Still, what happens in the Donbas – especially if there is no nuke war – will dictate what happens to you, and when, in your backyard. My point was that this reality can’t be down voted away or ignored out of existence.

Huh!?! This revelation was caused by the pResident’s handlers and the neocons. They did this all by themselves with the US directed sanctions along with shutting Russia off from SWIFT and confiscating (stealing) billions of Russian money held in foreign banks.

If the US government can unilaterally decide to do these things to a super power in broad daylight, it could happen to anyone. The rest of the world are jumping ship not because of any bankruptcies exposed but because they don’t want to be next… and the FRN will soon be toast.

There is no left/right, just as there is no East/West. Putin is a YGL of the WEF, he is also a pupil of Kissinger. The Wests major corporations enabled the rise of China as the global manufacturer of goods in the 80’s and 90’s (See Clinton’s favored nation status bestowed on China in the early 90’s). Western interests also swooped in to pick up the pieces after the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 90’s. Russia and China have been enabled by Western interests, this is to create an enemy for the West to focus on through their media propaganda. The globalists who created this farce intend to collapse the Western countries financially which will significantly reduce the Western populations through famine and civil unrest. Global war will be used as cover for the financial collapse and the die offs due to the mRNA jabs that the majority of the West has already taken (Russia and China didn’t push mRNA jabs on their populations and India stopped their jab roll out early and went to Ivermectin). They the globalists have already moved on, they sponsored the rise of the East and they have already placed their bets accordingly. The only hope for citizens in the Western countries is for them to stand up and throw out their respective governments. Hold those politicians to account for their treasonous collusion with the globalists and then to move away from globalism and focus on themselves and local production of goods and services as far as is practicably possible. All the current political parties within each country are all guilty, they all supported the Covid scam to varying degrees and they have not held anyone to account for what happened, all new governments need to be created, no country can vote out this rot it has gone too deep, time for a new system not a rehash of what has always failed historically (those who dont know history are doomed to repeat it).
