Guest Post by Pepe Escobar
Exhibit 1: Friday, March 22, 2024. It’s War. The Kremlin, via Peskov, finally admits it, on the record.
The money quote:
“Russia cannot allow the existence on its borders of a state that has a documented intention to use any methods to take Crimea away from it, not to mention the territory of new regions.”
Translation: the Hegemon-constructed Kiev mongrel is doomed, one way or another. The Kremlin signal: “We haven’t even started” starts now.
Exhibit 2: Friday afternoon, a few hours after Peskov. Confirmed by a serious European – not Russian – source. The first counter-signal.
Regular troops from France, Germany and Poland have arrived, by rail and air, to Cherkassy, south of Kiev. A substantial force. No numbers leaked. They are being housed in schools. For all practical purposes, this is a NATO force.
That signals, “Let the games begin”. From a Russian point of view, Mr. Khinzal’s business cards are set to be in great demand.
Exhibit 3: Friday evening. Terror attack on Crocus City, a music venue northwest of Moscow. A heavily trained commando shoots people on sight, point blank, in cold blood, then sets a concert hall on fire. The definitive counter-signal: with the battlefield collapsing, all that’s left is terrorism in Moscow.
And just as terror was striking Moscow, the US and the UK, in southwest Asia, was bombing Sana’a, the Yemeni capital, with at least five strikes.
Some nifty coordination. Yemen has just clinched a strategic deal in Oman with Russia-China for no-hassle navigation in the Red Sea, and is among the top candidates for BRICS+ expansion at the summit in Kazan next October.
Not only the Houthis are spectacularly defeating thalassocracy, they have the Russia-China strategic partnership on their side. Assuring China and Russia that their ships can sail through the Bab-al-Mandeb, Red Sea and Gulf of Aden with no problems is exchanged with total political support from Beijing and Moscow.
The sponsors remain the same
Deep in the night in Moscow, before dawn on Saturday 23. Virtually no one is sleeping. Rumors dance like dervishes on countless screens. Of course nothing has been confirmed – yet. Only the FSB will have answers. A massive investigation is in progress.
The timing of the Crocus massacre is quite intriguing. On a Friday during Ramadan. Real Muslims would not even think about perpetrating a mass murder of unarmed civilians under such a holy occasion. Compare it with the ISIS card being frantically branded by the usual suspects.
Let’s go pop. To quote Talking Heads: “This ain’t no party/ this ain’t no disco/ this ain’t no fooling around”. Oh no; it’s more like an all-American psy op. ISIS are cartoonish mercenaries/goons. Not real Muslims. And everyone knows who finances and weaponizes them.
That leads to the most possible scenario, before the FSB weighs in: ISIS goons imported from the Syria battleground – as it stands, probably Tajiks – trained by CIA and MI6, working on behalf of the Ukrainian SBU. Several witnesses at Crocus referred to “Wahhabis” – as in the commando killers did not look like Slavs.
It was up to Serbia’s Aleksandar Vucic to cut to the chase. He directly connected the “warnings” in early March from American and British embassies directed at their citizens not to visit public places in Moscow with CIA/MI6 intel having inside info about possible terrorism, and not disclosing it to Moscow.
The plot thickens when it is established that Crocus is owned by the Agalarovs: an Azeri-Russian billionaire family, very close friends of…
… Donald Trump.
Talk about a Deep State-pinpointed target.
ISIS spin-off or banderistas – the sponsors remain the same. The clownish secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Oleksiy Danilov, was dumb enough to virtually, indirectly confirm they did it, saying on Ukrainian TV, “we will give them [Russians] this kind of fun more often.”
But it was up to Sergei Goncharov, a veteran of the elite Russia Alpha anti-terrorism unit, to get closer to unwrapping the enigma: he told Sputnik the most feasible mastermind is Kyrylo Budanov – the chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence at the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense.
The “spy chief” who happens to be the top CIA asset in Kiev.
It’s got to go till the last Ukrainian
The three exhibits above complement what the head of NATO’s
military committee, Rob Bauer, previously told a security forum in Kiev: “You need more than just grenades – you need people to replace the dead and wounded. And this means mobilization.”
Translation: NATO spelling out this is a war until the last Ukrainian.
And the “leadership” in Kiev still does not get it. Former Minister of Infrastructure Omelyan: “If we win, we will pay back with Russian oil, gas, diamonds and fur. If we lose, there will be no talk of money – the West will think about how to survive.”
In parallel, puny “garden-and jungle” Borrell admitted that it would be “difficult” for the EU to find an extra 50 billion euros for Kiev if Washington pulls the plug. The cocaine-fueled sweaty sweatshirt leadership actually believes that Washington is not “helping” in the form of loans, but in the form of free gifts. And the same applies for the EU.
The Theater of the Absurd is unmatchable. The German Liver Sausage Chancellor actually believes that proceeds from stolen Russian assets “do not belong to anyone”, so they can be used to finance extra Kiev weaponizing.
Everyone with a brain knows that using interest from “frozen”, actually stolen Russian assets to weaponize Ukraine is a dead end – unless they steal all of Russia’s assets, roughly $200 billion, mostly parked in Belgium and Switzerland: that would tank the Euro for good, and the whole EU economy for that matter.
Eurocrats better listen to Russian Central Bank major “disrupter” (American terminology) Elvira Nabiullina: The Bank of Russia will take “appropriate measures” if the EU does anything on the “frozen”/stolen Russian assets.
It goes without saying that the three exhibits above completely nullify the “La Cage aux Folles” circus promoted by the puny Petit Roi, now known across his French domains as Macronapoleon.
Virtually the whole planet, including the English-speaking Global North, had already been mocking the “exploits” of his Can Can Moulin Rouge Army.
So French, German and Polish soldiers, as part of NATO, are already in the south of Kiev. The most possible scenario is that they will stay far, far away from the frontlines – although traceable by Mr. Khinzal’s business activities.
Even before this new NATO batch arriving in the south of Kiev, Poland – which happens to serve as prime transit corridor for Kiev’s troops – had confirmed that Western troops are already on the ground.
So this is not about mercenaries anymore. France, by the way, is only 7th in terms of mercenaries on the ground, largely trailing Poland, the US and Georgia, for instance. The Russian Ministry of Defense has all the precise records.
In a nutshell: now war has morphed from Donetsk, Avdeyevka and Belgorod to Moscow. Further on down the road, it may not just stop in Kiev. It may only stop in Lviv. Mr. 87%, enjoying massive national near-unanimity, now has the mandate to go all the way. Especially after Crocus.
There’s every possibility the terror tactics by Kiev goons will finally drive Russia to return Ukraine to its original 17th century landlocked borders: Black Sea-deprived, and with Poland, Romania, and Hungary reclaiming their former territories.
Remaining Ukrainians will start to ask serious questions about what led them to fight – literally to their death – on behalf of the US Deep State, the military complex and BlackRock.
As it stands, the Highway to Hell meat grinder is bound to reach maximum velocity.

Once this really gets going it won’t be only the Uke’s asking serious questions about what led them to fight – literally to their death – on behalf of the US Deep State! I wouldn’t let any member of my family enlist in this corporate shitshow…they’ll be needed on the front lines at home.
We know what led them to fight. Government thugs with guns forcing them. Thats also why we pay our protection money. Your wishes concerning your family are of no relevance.
…stay in your lane and your Big Blue city you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Corporate s’show indeed. Like Afghanistan and other no win wars since 1950 onward.
Enlisting is not the problem, the coming reinstatement of the draft is the problem. And women who wanted equality will be drafted for combat now too. Marry your draft age daughter off now and she should have a couple of kids fast.
Pepe drops more names than Kunstler.
I do agree that things are starting to get real interesting, real fast.
My money is still on NO election.
Put your money where your mouth is people……

That’s how I think. Get the meat grinder really going around Sept 17th, cancel the election(ala Ukraine) for “national security” about a month later and viola’, total Uni-party takeover and American Tyranny.
fa-betting with you.
Putin’s gloves come off. Brass knuckles go on.
The gloves should’ve come off a while ago.
See? That is WHY you ain’t in charge of SHIT.
😄
Real moslems will happily kill others, innocents as well as anyone else they so choose during Ramadan or at any other time that suits them. There is no actual prohibition on anything a Moslem chooses to do, from fucking little boys, or goats, to eating pork, to killing their daughters or mothers, fathers or sons, or anyone else’s kin for any reason at any time they wish to do so. Read the book. Learn about the creed. They are DEAD serious and you need to be too.
Wahhabis are trash.
Wassabis are HOT though.
You are right Walt– although I’m no fan of the Kazarians or Israel expansion efforts– fuck the Hamas supporting gazans. I wish the “Religion of Peace” (satirical use) website was still active- the pages and pages of writings highlighted from the muslim koran/sura etc unholy books is enlightening.
Those gazans that so many mourn the genocide of would slit your throat, rape your daughters and subject you to dhimmitude with a jizya ( non-muslims may be allowed to live in some countries but are subjected to extra taxes ensuring their life of abject poverty and starvation)
I visited in Gaza once– the cities mostly look like US cities where the blacks live: graffiti, garbage on the streets, every wall of every bldg has hate and taped placards ( against whites and the US also), congregating/threatening packs of aimless male youths.
Gaza also has luxurious hotels and beaches on the Mediterranean coast, a “gold district” where you can walk through markets with literal ropes and chests of gold hanging from the rafters to the ground. There are palatial houses for the leaders who extort all of the international aid that comes to them annually ( hundreds of billions) from every corner of the world- including the US and Israel as the top contributors of freebies.
Gaza is a fetid ghetto- and not because they are in any slave camp. They are treated as an almost autonomous area but they produce nothing, degrade what exists, are corrupt from top down and their sole purpose from childhood is to kill. They breed like rabbits and cannot self support their own existence, let alone average over 6 kids per woman. I guess when marriage is allowed at 12 years old 6 kids is pretty easy over the fertile years.
You love and sympathize with the Gazans/Hamas- go live under Sharia for a year, adopt their filthy 3rd world lifestyles, islam’s origins were demonic, their founder was a deranged pedophile/murderer
and every concession supports evil.
my chihuahua is named Pepe.
amazing how countries are allowed to genocide other countries and then act righteous about it. Strange times my friends. it’ll be forgotten for the most part in a century or two. So no big deal I guess. Just a bump in the road to nowhere.
wiv da yellow rednecks letting the migrant vermin into texas and the rest of the yankees spending dosh on helping ukraine, dem mericans gonna livin in da tent cities soon – and trump aint gonna help da poor movfuckas – we all knows where his allegiance lies. Vote harder twats
Leftist Dolts.
Get the fuck out of here with your naivete. LYING is one of their SACRAMENTS!!!
So your saying the Russians are finally going to get around to assault, take and hold Kharkov, Odessa and Kiev in a combined arms operation to stun the world?
Yawn.
This shit goes on and on and on until the Kiev kommediyan is K!A.
The “Kiev kommediyan” is irrelevant. He’s just a CIA spokesman doing his acting job. ‘This shit goes on’ until a pair of 3M22 Zircons with tactical nukes, rises out of the western Atlantic Ocean, and strikes the Pentagram and CIA headquarters during business hours.
Time for Russia to begin Assassinating the Organizers of this Shit starting with that 1/2 Russian/Jew Whore Dicktoria Fooland – Kill That Warmongering Bitch behind Every War/US Terror Plot in the last 22 years – in Every administration starting with the Clinton’s until now – Except Trump’s. Completely Destroy Kiev – Level it to the ground – Kill Everybody in any leadership capacity in Fukraine. Begin relentless bombing 24/7/365 until this Evil is Exterminated. Use the West’s own game & begin using Terror tactics on All of the Governments of the US/NATO & Co-conspirators. Since the “West” is run by Demons, Pedos, Homos & Tranfaggots they’ll be Shitting their Panties once this begins & they will Beg for a Ceasefire which will be responded to with Bombs, Missiles & maybe even Nukes. I actually look forward to hearing about Leaders in the “West” “accidentally” dying from unusual circumstances. This Bullshit has to Stop or Else We in the “West” will pay for the sins of our Demonic leaders & Satan will have been fed with More Blood. I Detest the US Federal Government – The Most Evil government since at Least WW2.
we are paying for the sins of the demons among us now. it will get no better and likely much worse.
Regardless of who is sending all of these people to their death, unlike Americans, the rest of the world are still in touch to some degree with reality and rational thought, with an attention span and memory much longer than a 30 second American homosexual, feminist TV commercial. Somebody sooner or later is going to figure out who sent their sons to die and they will take unbridled revenge on the perpetrators. You can’t fool all of the people all of the time. And dealing with an angry person who has lost family members is very different than hunting an angry bear. An angry person can do far more damage. Some however, will not be so astute in their understanding of who exactly has created this mess which the world finds itself in, and they may take out their revenge on others who were not directly involved in sending their sons to war but are still a part of the problem.
They are placing these soldiers in the bottom floor of hotels and other civilian residences thinking that will stop the Russians from bombing them. After Crocus, not so much!
