I have found a very interesting copy of a letter sent to Russia from the Ukrainian side of the front by some of those Ukrainians who are sympathetic to Russia and want this war to stop once and for all. These are the real patriots of Ukraine.
Information taken from here: https://m-kalashnikov.livejournal.com/4558295.html
The streets in Ukraine are now practically deserted. I don’t see any men over 16-18 years old or under 60-65 on the streets. Everyone lays low. The situation on the public transport is similar: there are no men on the trams passing by.
We are already mentally prepared for the Russians to come to Slavyansk. Few of them plan to leave the city. They did not directly state this (the consequences of this are known), but the hints are quite transparent.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have recruited personnel with pre-war training and highly motivated ones. It is also significant that in a number of places the defense is “collapsing” - which means that there are no longer barrage detachments (anti retreat detachments) there.
There is information circulating that military authorities wanted to attract foreign fighters to the barrage detachments, but they quickly exposed this plan and refused to participate.
The decline in the morale of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was strongly influenced by the fact that more and more people caught by force on the streets are being thrown to the front, and by the fact that the soldiers are actually denied demobilization and rotation, not to mention the amount of “combat” payments. Perhaps a further worsening of the gap between the army and the authorities in Kyiv will result in the surrender of positions, the flight of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from occupied defense areas, and massive surrenders to the Russian army..."
***
“Along with ordinary draft dodgers (hiding at home), we see the new phenomenon such as soldiers leaving the location of a military unit without authorization.
There are currently between 100 and 120 thousands of this type of episodes. It is also known that a number of programs for training Ukrainian personnel for the Armed Forces of Ukraine abroad are now being phased out, and their training is now being planned to take place directly on the ground in Ukraine. The reason for this is that personnel sent for training abroad leave location of the training centers abroad, cut off all communications, and thus they try to escape to other countries. This happens often..."
So much for a desire of Ukrainian soldiers to fight and die for NATO.
“...Against the backdrop of increasing doubts about the legitimacy of the overdue term of President Zelinsky and the emerging delinquency of the Supreme Council, there are deep doubts that the end of spring, summer and the first half of autumn of this year would not bring about major upheavals in the country. And in this case, it would be extremely logical on the part of the Russian Federation, after president Zelensky powers come to an end, to organize an emigrant government of Ukraine, with a purpose to conclude a number of agreements with it on the future fate of the country (including territorial reorganization), up to occupation of, say, Sumy or Chernigov regions with taking them under control by this government.
With creation of detachments of Ukrainian soldiers who voluntarily came over to our side under Russian leadership (like Polish Army did during the WW2), etc. Not to mention intensification of a work to paralyze and disintegrate the enemy’s rear through a deep combined air and ground offensive operation, and propaganda campaigns to undermine the rear and front line...
But really smart Russians who have the will, intelligence, and are able to act decisively, without regard to “dear Western partners,” are capable of this. If they took advantage of this now, by mid-late summer the war could finally end...”
So as you can see more and more Ukrainian soldiers do not want to fight and die in this war on the side of NATO because they know that US neocons with Biden at the top are their mortal enemy who want to lead this war up to the last Ukrainian or Russian soldier.
The US and NATO will not prevail in this conflict, you will lose badly and this is inevitable. You should remember your history. Any invasions of Russia were not successful in the past. Napoleon was defeated, Hitler was defeated and NATO will be defeated this time as well.
Topic: Russian ruble is scam (Read 1403 times)
By the way I vividly remember the day when I first read about the MH-17 Malaisian plane shot down over Donetsk region. Girkin (or Strelkov, that's his second last name) has nothing to do with that incident.
It was clear to me as a day that this was a job done by CIA. Most likely the plane was downed by Ukrainian military and then it was declared to the whole world that the crime was done by Russian military.
This was a provocation carried out by CIA. CIA are experts in this kind of thing.

To expose your lies, it is enough to go through the chronology of the development of events. The first in this chain of military events was the escape on February 22, 2014 of the then President of Ukraine Yanukovych on three military Russian helicopters to Crimea, where, under a lease agreement, there was a Russian military base of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
On the morning of February 23, Putin announced his decision to annex the Ukrainian peninsula. Already by that time, in the cities of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the so-called “little green men” were noticed - professional Russian military personnel without identification marks, preparing a springboard for the seizure of sovereign Ukrainian territory.
On February 27, armed people without identification marks seized the Supreme Council of Crimea and the Council of Ministers of Crimea, hanging Russian flags on them. In a building seized by armed people, local deputies scheduled a referendum “on the status of Crimea” for May 25.
On the night of February 27, the seizure of the Belbek airport in Sevastopol began - about 400 Russian troops occupied it, blocking the entrances to the territory with barbed wire. Russian planes land at the airport, and the movement of Russian equipment is recorded.
On March 1, the leader of the Russian Unity party, Sergei Aksenov, appointed by local deputies as the new prime minister of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, called on Putin to send Russian regular troops to Crimea - by the evening the Kremlin had made a corresponding decision. The Russian military (usually without identification marks) begins an active seizure of Ukrainian military units and infrastructure facilities on the peninsula.
The next day, March 2, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) condemned the military aggression of the Russian Federation and called for an end to the annexation of sovereign Ukrainian territory.
What it is that I lie about? How exactly do I lie?
Do you want to say that Russian speaking Ukrainians were not burned alive in Odessa in 2014?
Do you want to say that there was no artillery bombardment of 2 rebel provinces?
On March 16, at gunpoint from the Russian military, an illegal “referendum” was held in Crimea, the ballots of which contained two questions:
• “Are you for the reunification of Crimea with Russia as a subject of the Russian Federation?”
• “Are you for restoring the 1992 Constitution of the Republic of Crimea and for the status of Crimea as a part of Ukraine?”
At the same time, the “ballot” assumed the answer to only one of these questions and only “yes” - by checking the appropriate box next to the question. Any mark was interpreted as a “yes” answer, while two marks invalidated the ballot. Thus, citizens could vote either “yes” or their answer would be invalidated. https://nv.ua/ukraine/politics/okkupaciya-kryma-kak-rf-provela-feykovyy-referendum-hronika-novosti-ukrainy-50010647.html
I don't believe Ukrainian press. They can't be trusted because following Maidan CIA took the country and dictated who should say what.
As of 2021, no state has issued official legal acts recognizing Crimea as part of Russia, although official representatives of several states (Afghanistan, Belarus, Bolivia, Syria, Sudan, North Korea) spoke out in support of the Russian position.
I am not interested in hearing opinion of any state on the issue of Crimea. The fact is that Crimea has always been a territory of Russia since 17th century.
The only argument that Ukraine uses is that Krushov gave Crimea to Ukraine in order to simplify bureaucratic procedures.
Krushov could not forsee in 1954 that USSR would disintegrate in 1991 and Crimea would become a territory of Ukraine which would become a separate country under US control that would have Ukraine join NATO, which is a mortal enemy of Russia.
It's just that Krushov made a colossal mistake in 1954 by this edict and the US is using this as a pretext to declare that Putin is Hitler.
The US promised to Gorbachov in 1990 that NATO would not move to the East. That promise was broken.
I believe that in view of this fact Putin did a right thing by annexing Crimea.
I think that Crimea could be returned back to Ukraine in case NATO withdraws from all those Eastern European countries. This seems pretty fair to me.
NATO broke their promise and this was admitted by them. Why doesn't NATO rectify their crime and then Crimea could be returned to Ukraine? How about that?
Thus, Russia’s military aggression, as a result of which the Ukrainian Crimean peninsula was seized by force, occurred in February-March 2014. The date of the start of hostilities on the territory of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine is considered to be April 12, 2014, when several dozen people, some of whom had Russian citizenship and had previously participated in the annexation of Crimea, under the command of a former Russian FSB employee Girkin, seized administrative buildings in Slavyansk, Donetsk region . But this is a completely different stage of Russian military aggression. https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A5%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%B8 %D1%8F_%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B9%D0%BD%D1%8B_%D0%B2_%D0%94%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B1%D0%B0%D1 %81%D1%81%D0%B5
So who began to seize foreign territory by military means, and is thus the aggressor? Undoubtedly, Putin's Russia.
The chronological order that you refer to does not matter. Why are you talking about it?
Besides I can add that Maidan took place in the end of 2013. As soon as Maidan took place it was clear as a day that this was a coup carried out by CIA. That's why 2 breakaway provinces decided to break away from Ukraine and that's why Crimea was annexed by Russia.
Maidan in Ukraine was a crime commited by the US. Therefore it must be brought to justice and annexation of Crimea was a sort of justice served.

Do I have to retell you again for 101st time about how the Ukrainian army has been firing at Donetsk and Lugansk since 2014 and and how this a this artillery fire killed many thousands of innocent civilians in those two rebel provinces? Do you know how the people living in those 2 provinces were called by Ukrainian nazies? They were called Colorado bugs. Thus the people living there were dehumanised.
In 2014 a team of fascist neo nazies arrived to Odessa where they burned alive about 64 Russian speaking citizens of Odessa who publicly spoke out against Maidan.
The people living in Crimea did not want to be terrorised like these people in Odessa that had been brutally murdered.
And Putin saved their lives by annexing the territory of Crimea to Russia

Do you want to convince us that it was Ukraine that attacked Russia, and therefore, in reality, in this brutal war, Russia is actually the victim?
Well then, give the facts of how Ukraine attacked Russia before Russia, with the help of its Sevastopol military base of the Black Sea Fleet, captured the Ukrainian Crimean peninsula within a few days with virtually no resistance from Ukraine in 2014, since hostilities began from here and then spread to the east Ukraine. Moreover, any previous grievances, unresolved issues and conflicts, and so on, do not matter here. The aggressor or victim of aggression is determined only by the fact of the one who invaded the territory of another sovereign state with his troops, since all issues must be resolved in a civilized, political or diplomatic way.

Everyone here knows that Crimea has alway been a territory of Russia and it was moved to Ukraine by Khrushov who wanted just to simplify bureaucratic procedures by this edict. One may say that Crimea never belonged to Ukraine.

An acquaintance showed his video from the front line, where body parts of both his soldiers and Russians lay, and said that on this section of the front neither they nor the other side were taking anyone prisoner. The war is quite tough and there they have practically come to terms with the idea that they will not return home alive. Russia made a catastrophic mistake in that once again, as after the 1917 revolution, it set out to conquer Ukraine as an independent state. Then the Bolsheviks managed to do it. But now the situation is different. There is the Internet, there are social networks, and true information instantly spreads throughout the world. Therefore, Ukraine has enormous international support as a victim of aggression.
It seems to me more and more that all of my writings and explanations are falling on deaf ears. One has to be very dumbed down to believe the western propaganda that Ukraine is a victim of Russia's agression,
But this does not surpise me at all because there are millions and millions of dumbed down people in the West.
But I believe that soon these people will see the light and realize that they have been duped bythe Biden administration. Now the US rapidly is being divided into 2 parts hating each other
As regards killings and torturings of Ukrainian prisoners of war by Russian soldiers this might be true in some isolated incidents because this is war and not a walk in the park.But on the whole Russia treats Ukrainians very well. Generally people of Slavic nationalities are quite peaceful and not cruel.
You know how cruel could be people of Asian origin in a war. Just recall the massacre of Chinese women by Japanese soldiers in China or in Korea during WW2. Neither Ukrainians nor Russians are capable of such cruelty. .
The Russian army does not kill Ukrainians. Just have a look at how well Ukrainian captured soldiers are treated and contrast this with how Ukrainian nazies torture and maim any Russian soldiers who have been captured on the front line.
Totaly different behavior.
The problem is that the Western MSM does not provide true reporting of the situation, there is a lot of lies and propaganda that dehumanises Russia and the people of Russia.

Here is a link to a good article on the Ukrainian conflict written by Doug Casey:
Doug Casey on the Likelihood of Nuclear War With Russia
https://internationalman.com/articles/doug-casey-on-the-likelihood-of-nuclear-war-with-russia/?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Welcome%20to%20the%20Warfare%20State&utm_campaign=05%2F08%2F2024-%20Non-DDCI%20Buyers-%20Welcome%20to%20the%20Warfare%20State&vgo_ee=Maqn2JCUEt2zhrlb8oTloWsS8AnBZcCn07gdn6BZNA%3D%3D%3AwRJMJyiumCDKTQBN5kvVgb%2Fq818CHl4Q
Here are a few excellent snippets from that article:
As far as Russia annexing Crimea and the regions of the Ukraine in question, it seems to me—from a historical point of view—that would be par for the course. Remember that borders have been flowing and ethnic groups moving for a thousand years in that part of the world. In any event, it makes no sense to take sides in disputes between nation-states. In this case, it amounts to the US sticking its nose into a border war between two shit-hole countries.
That said, being as objective as possible, I’d say that the Russians have a certain amount of right on their side. They’ve been mightily provoked since the Maidan Revolution of 2014 and the attack by the Ukrainian Army on the Donbas. It’s too bad that this is spinning out of control—largely because of US intervention. In a rational world, it would basically be worth a couple of columns on the sixth page of the New York Times and then forgotten.
Vladimir Putin recently gave a speech in which he said:
“The West is ready to cross every line to preserve the neo-colonial system which allows it to live off the world, to plunder it thanks to the domination of the dollar and technology, to collect an actual tribute from humanity, to extract its primary source of unearned prosperity, the rent paid to the hegemon. The preservation of this annuity is their main, real and absolutely self-serving motivation. This is why total de-sovereignization is in their interest. This explains their aggression towards independent states, traditional values and authentic cultures, their attempts to undermine international and integration processes, new global currencies and technological development centers they cannot control. It is critically important for them to force all countries to surrender their sovereignty to the United States.”
Doug Casey: I’ve listened to a number of Putin’s speeches.
It’s fashionable to make him out as being not only the devil incarnate but irrational and somebody that wants to conquer Europe and perhaps destroy the world in the process. But in fact, compared to all of the other European leaders, he’s the most cool-headed, the most thoughtful, and the one with the most perspective.
He is absolutely right when he says that the West is acting as a hegemon. In particular, the US has been exporting dollars for decades—which have allowed it to live way above its means—and control the world by controlling the world’s monetary system. With the dollar accepted as the international reserve currency, backed up by institutions like the World Bank and the IMF, and a giant military with bases in over 100 countries, the US can basically call the shots for other cultures and countries.

You can think as you like, but the fact remains: Russia fires at the territory of Ukraine every day with all possible types of weapons. According to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 97 percent of such attacks occur on civilian targets. Putin lied before about Ukraine, he is lying now and will continue to lie. Near the frontline zone, Russian troops directly fire conventional cannon artillery at populated areas, destroying the homes of ordinary people every day. Every day, according to morning reports in Ukraine, information is received about the shelling of approximately 120 settlements in the front-line zone with shells and mines. Every day they show the consequences of such shelling, the number of civilians killed and wounded. All this is carefully recorded, including by international experts, and will be presented as evidence at an international special tribunal where Russia will be tried for the genocide of the Ukrainian people.
I believe that this is a blatant lie. Putin does not fire at the homes of ordinary people.
And the Russian citizens are either being fooled, or they just want to hear it themselves. Because even logically, if Russian troops fire about ten thousand shells a day and launch cruise missiles across Ukraine almost every day, then civilians will die from this every day. Some Russians do not want to notice this, others even call for the destruction of more Ukrainian civilians.
Of course some Ukrainians will die from the missiles but this is the cost of a war, collateral damage.
But karma will definitely overtake Russia for this. Higher powers are already warning Russians about floods, fires, or other natural disasters. Can you remember that on May 9 there was frost and snow in Moscow? And this is just the beginning. You can’t just attack and kill people en masse, whom you also call one people. The sooner Russia wakes up from Putin's dope, the less punishment it will receive. For the war to end and this senseless massacre to stop, Russia only needs to withdraw its troops from Ukrainian territory. In Ukraine, sooner or later, every Russian soldier will find only his own death.
The sooner the US stops meddling in Ukraine and the sooner the fascist nazies in Ukraine lose their power the sooner peace would come to Ukraine. Many Ukrainians understand that they are guilty in this war by their inactivity and indifference when Maidan took place in Ukraine. If the Ukrainian people would not have let the Maidan happen in Ukraine then all these atrocities would not happen there now.
I believe that sooner or later karma will overtake the US and we will see civil war in the US soon.

Well, I believe all these attacks are a retaliation against the attacks of Kiev against human targets in Donetsk and Lugansk that have been carried out during the last 10 years.
Also it is very important to note that the Russian army tries to strike only the military and infra structure targets but tries to avoid human casualties as much as possible. President Putin made it clear on many occasions that the lives of ordinary Ukrainian people must be saved.

From the first days of Russia's full-scale military invasion of Ukraine, Russia attacked Kyiv with both planes and missiles. But after seven Russian planes were shot down in 11 minutes of battle over the skies of Kyiv, the air attacks stopped.
https://www.unian.net/war/zenitchik-rasskazal-kak-v-nachale-voyny-oboronyali-nebo-nad-kievom-novosti-kieva-11928549.html
Yeah, but why did they stop? The reason?
But the Russians continue to attack Ukraine and its capital, Kyiv, with missiles and drones almost every day. Thus, on the night of May 8, the Russian invaders launched a new missile attack on the peaceful cities of Ukraine and Kyiv in particular. During the attack, Daggers, Iskanders and Calibers were used, four of which were fired from a submarine. In total, the Russians used 76 air attack weapons. Among them were 55 missiles and 21 attack drones. The air force managed to destroy most of the air targets launched by the enemy, namely:
- 33 X-101/X-555 cruise missiles;
- 4 cruise missiles "Caliber";
- 2 guided aircraft missiles X-59/X-69;
- 20 attack UAVs of the "Shahed-131/136" type.
All air targets over Kyiv were shot down. There, Russia has not yet been able to “pierce” the air defense of Ukraine. But Kharkov and Odessa are now suffering greatly from Russian missile attacks.

Russia has already made more than ten failed attempts on the life of President of Ukraine Zelensky. As for senior officials of other states, for example, on March 6, a Russian missile struck 300-400 meters from President Vladimir Zelensky and the Prime Minister of Greece, who were then in the seaport of Odessa. Some regarded this precisely as an attempt on the life of the President of Ukraine... https://fakty.com.ua/ru/ukraine/20240308-skilky-raziv-rosiya-chynyla-zamah-na-zelenskogo-prezydent-vidpoviv/
Yeah, I read about the incident but the fact that the Russian missile struck 300-400 meters from President Zelensky tells me that this was a warning only and not an attempt to kill him.
Don't you think so?
Just yesterday, on May 8, counterintelligence and the SBU revealed another preparation for an assassination attempt on the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, as well as the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate Kirill Budanov and the head of the SBU Vasily Malyuk, which was prepared by FSB agents. The operation, which was led from Russia, was carried out, in particular, by two colonels of the State Security Administration of Ukraine, who were detained. The enemy’s plans included the liquidation of Vladimir Zelensky, so FSB agents were looking for military personnel in the president’s inner circle who would take the president hostage and then kill him. Before that, the executor had to monitor the movement of the person under guard and transmit data to the Russians. The enemy planned to launch a missile strike at the house in which he would be located, then attack with drones those who would remain alive, and then hit with a missile again to hide the information that drones were used at the crime scene. According to the head of the SBU Vasily Malyuk, in this way the FSB wanted to make a “gift” to the Kremlin dictator for his inauguration. But everything turned out to be a spectacular failure for the Russian special services.

Your comparison of Putin to Hitler is ridiculous to the point of absurdity. Nothing can be further from the truth.
Let's rewind time some 80 years ago and recall which methods were used by Hitler to crush the countries that he was invading. He sent bombers to Moscow and other cities and bombed them till the last bomb. He did not spare any government buildings.
Now let's get back to today and let's see the methods used by Putin. Why wouldm't he give a clear order to fire and bomb the government buildings? Mr Zelensky travels all over the country here and there and for some strange reason not any missile explodes in the vicinity of Mr Zelensky or any other state representative from Europe. The leaders of Europe visit Kiev all the time but for some strange reason nothing endangers their scheduled trips to Kiev.
One of the main goals of Hitler was to assassinate Stalin and other military leaders but Putin does not want to kill Zelensky or any other government official.
Don't you find it strange? Why does not Putin act like Hitler?
Any ideas, anyone?

Here is the latest news that I have just watched:
1. Many female bloggers in Ukraine are switching from Ukrainian mova over to Russian language. That's wonderful!
2. Many intelligent operatives in the West are starting to openly ask the following question: could it be that Mr. Zelensky in fact is an agent of Putin? What do you think about it?
3. One of my favourite action actors has always been Steven Seagal. it turns out that Mr. Seagall received a Russian passport from Putin, he openly supports Russia and Putin. European Union is planning to impose sanctions on Steven Seagal for hir pro Russian position. Aren't they afraid of the secret combat techniques that this gentelman has mastered? I would be afraid of his secret technique of poisoned touch if I were in their shoes.

Can you imagine a situation whereby Hitler would sell oil and gas to his enemies and would send gas through a pipleline that goes across the country being invaded? What is is this? Is this Hitler?
If Putin is Hitler then you are Joseph Goebbels.
Do you understand why I compare you with Joseph Goebbels?
Because he was a very talented propagandist who said that if you repeat a lie 1000 times then everyone would start believing it. That's exactly what you are doing here in this forum.

You know here in Russia patriots of Russia are puzzled by such weird military methods employed by Putin. Doesn't it look like he would like to come to some sort of an agreement with his western partners?
One day the Russian army takes action and fires upon the Ukrainian positions and military installations and then the other day public speakers of Russia try to get across to the West that they don't want this war. Doesn't it look strange to you?
Have you ever heard that Hitler would attack one day and then hold negotiations the other day?
Putin's actions clearly show that he does not want this war and all he wants is Ukraine to be demilitarized and denazified.
By the way did Putin kill any Ukrainian people in Crimea when Crimea was annexed? As far as I know all people in Crimea were very eager for Russia to annex Crimea as soon as possible and protect them from bloodthirsty nazies in Ukraine.
What have you been smoking lately or have you got too many covid shots?

It is very funny to read the following:
Putin is doing everything the way Hitler did on the eve of World War II. Rickards admires, in my opinion, both. As a result of this, Putin will end his life in much the same way as Hitler. The only difference is that Putin does not have the courage to commit suicide and he will probably be helped with this.
Current researchers and historians note that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin acts “according to Hitler’s manual.” There are several undeniable facts in this regard.Putin is doing everything the way Hitler did on the eve of World War II. Rickards admires, in my opinion, both. As a result of this, Putin will end his life in much the same way as Hitler. The only difference is that Putin does not have the courage to commit suicide and he will probably be helped with this.
- In 1938, Germany invaded Austria, calling it “reunification.” In 2014, Putin captured Crimea and the dictator’s rhetoric was and remains the same “reunification.” The Russians even came up with a holiday - March 18, the day of the reunification of Crimea with Russia. At the same time, as in Austria, a pseudo-referendum was also held in Crimea, designed to legitimize the annexation.
- In 1938, the pro-Nazi Sudeten-German Party provoked major unrest in the border areas of Czechoslovakia, turning to the German leadership with a request for help. Taking advantage of the numerical and military advantage, Germany annexed the Sudetenland (as well as part of the territories of the Czech Republic and Moravia), which were 90% populated by Germans. Hitler explained this by protecting the rights of Germans living in the region and speaking German. The situation is absolutely similar to the beginning of the war in Donbass in 2014, where the Russians came to “save” Russian speakers.
- In his speeches, Hitler questioned the existence of the Czechs as a nation, referring to it as the “so-called Czech nation” and accusing the Treaty of Versailles of creating the “abnormal state of Czechoslovakia.” Russian dictator Putin claims in his speeches that “in fact, Ukraine has never had a tradition of real statehood.” He attributes the creation of a nation that predates the founding of Moscow to "Bolshevik Russia." As a result, Hitler denied statehood to Czechoslovakia, and Putin did the same in relation to Ukraine.
- Vladimir Putin’s televised address on February 24, 2022 is very reminiscent of Hitler’s radio speech on September 1, 1939. Putin spoke of the “great lie” that he constantly repeated in Hitlerian style, namely that the Ukrainian government had been allegedly torturing and killing the Russian-speaking population in Ukraine for years. At the same time, Hitler justified the attack on Poland on the grounds that the German minority there was deprived of rights and subjected to torture. Both the Fuhrer and the President of the Russian Federation stated that they would not fight against civilians. Both lied.
- In February 2022, Putin tried to repeat the German blitzkrieg. The Russian dictator attacked Ukraine hard and fast, and planned to capture Kyiv within days. True, he did not count on how powerfully the Ukrainian people would fight back.
- In its propaganda, the Kremlin acts according to the methods of the Nazis. Thus, both dictators constantly said that they were supposedly trying to resolve the issue “peacefully.” In Putin’s interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson on February 9, the Russian dictator said that Poland itself was allegedly to blame for the attack on it by Nazi Germany. In 1939, the Poles allegedly “left” Hitler no other choice but to attack them. According to Putin, “the Poles got too carried away and forced Hitler to start World War II.” Putin also noted that the war began with Poland because it “was intractable.” They say that Hitler peacefully asked the Poles to give them the Danzig corridor, which Germany lost after losing the First World War. However, the Poles refused to do this. With such statements, Putin is trying to justify his attack on Ukraine, which also “allegedly turned out to be intractable” and “forced” itself to be attacked. https://www.pravda.com.ua/rus/news/2024/02/9/7441182/
- During Adolf Hitler's speech to the Third Reich in 1939, he adheres to the line that he does not attack anyone or speak out "against" anyone. He protects Germany from outside attack. Hitler constantly repeats this, supposedly the Jews should attack his country, and he defends its existence. Another of Hitler’s “universal missions” was to protect the planet, and he presented this “mission” as a “positive value.” He wanted to free all of Europe from a bad, “degenerate” government. Putin adheres to a similar line. In his speeches, which directly or indirectly relate to the war in Ukraine, he constantly emphasizes that they want to attack Russia, thus shifting responsibility to the “external enemy,” whom he calls “Nazis.” First, the Ukrainians were “Nazis” and “fascists,” then, according to his logic, they became the Poles, the French and other European peoples who took the side of Ukraine and provide it with support.

I think that it was not worth copying the entire article of some James Rickards onto almost a whole page on this forum. To do this, it was enough to briefly outline the essence of what you want to draw the attention of forum readers to and make a link to this article.
I would have done it if I had a link but unfortunately this is a freshly written article and it is still not available in any archive but I guess it would be available as a URL link in a day or two.
Here is an extract from the post in the 5 bullets regarding the Ukrainian conflict copied from here:
https://paradigmpressroom.com/post/todays-issue-is-not-about-politics
It is not long:
Mailbag: War Is No Joke
You made a joke of the war in Ukraine,” a reader writes, “but tens of thousands of Ukrainians are suffering and dying, sometimes touched in ways hard to imagine.
“Please watch this video about one city that was occupied at the beginning of the war and then tell me, or better yet tell them, they are a laughing matter.
“I am a new member of Paradigm but I’m disappointed by this publication.”
Dave responds: We assume you’re writing about last Wednesday’s edition, but… where’s the joke?
Perhaps there’s irony that Kyiv’s bar scene is thriving — but wars have unpredictable ways of altering the flows of money. You’re offended we pointed it out?
No, we find no humor in the fact that Western leaders are content to feed young (and, increasingly, middle-aged and old) Ukrainians into a meat grinder in the name of power politics and “weakening” Russia (the secretary of defense said that)... or Washington fighting the war “to the last Ukrainian” (Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said that)... or American leaders viewing the war as “a very good bargain” for the United States (a State Department official said that).
and one more extract from the same source copied from here: https://paradigmpressroom.com/post/ukraines-mayday
Ukraine’s Mayday
Albeit, this X-tweet is a bit misleading: The CBS Mornings piece is from July 2023. Nonetheless, according to an article published last week at Wine Enthusiast, Ukraine’s bar scene is still humming.
“On my second night in town in the Ukrainian city of Lviv,” writes freelancer Adam Robb, “I was enjoying happy hour at Siaivo, a two-story Art Deco coffee shop and bar, when an air raid siren sounded from my phone.
“The day before,” he says, “I was encouraged to download Air Alert, an early-warning app developed by the Ukrainian government and voiced by Mark Hamill — yes, Star Wars’ Luke Skywalker — who was now warning me to proceed to the nearest shelter.
“No one [was] going anywhere,” Mr. Robb says. “The bar was actually filling up.”
So as you can see Putin is not so bloodthirsty as you say he is.

No, we find no humor in the fact that Western leaders are content to feed young (and, increasingly, middle-aged and old) Ukrainians into a meat grinder in the name of power politics and “weakening” Russia (the secretary of defense said that)... or Washington fighting the war “to the last Ukrainian” (Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said that)... or American leaders viewing the war as “a very good bargain” for the United States (a State Department official said that).

Ukraine’s Mayday
Albeit, this X-tweet is a bit misleading: The CBS Mornings piece is from July 2023. Nonetheless, according to an article published last week at Wine Enthusiast, Ukraine’s bar scene is still humming.
“On my second night in town in the Ukrainian city of Lviv,” writes freelancer Adam Robb, “I was enjoying happy hour at Siaivo, a two-story Art Deco coffee shop and bar, when an air raid siren sounded from my phone.
“The day before,” he says, “I was encouraged to download Air Alert, an early-warning app developed by the Ukrainian government and voiced by Mark Hamill — yes, Star Wars’ Luke Skywalker — who was now warning me to proceed to the nearest shelter.
“No one [was] going anywhere,” Mr. Robb says. “The bar was actually filling up.”
So as you can see Putin is not so bloodthirsty as you say he is.
It is very funny to read the following:
Putin is doing everything the way Hitler did on the eve of World War II. Rickards admires, in my opinion, both. As a result of this, Putin will end his life in much the same way as Hitler. The only difference is that Putin does not have the courage to commit suicide and he will probably be helped with this.
and then after liquidating Putin the US would be able to continue plundering Russia of its resources and turning Russia into a third world country and exploiting Russia and its people like you did it in the 90ies.
No more. Yankee, go home.
I am afraid, my dear friend, that in november elections the dems will lose and the war in Ukraine will come to an end. The slaughter between Russians will come to an end and someone in Washington will be displeased by this turn of events.

Here is the latest article by James Rickards on the Ukainian war. This author does not lie and gives a true account of the events.
I think that it was not worth copying the entire article of some James Rickards onto almost a whole page on this forum. To do this, it was enough to briefly outline the essence of what you want to draw the attention of forum readers to and make a link to this article.In the article, the author presents events and facts in a biased manner and fully supports the actions of Putin and Russia to interfere in the internal affairs of other states by force.
Thus, an article by James Rickards says: “In 2008, President Bush said that Ukraine and Georgia should join NATO. A few months later, Putin invaded Georgia, annexed part of its territory and destroyed Georgia’s chances of joining NATO... In 2014 year, the United States supported a coup in Ukraine, which overthrew the legally elected leader. Three months later, Putin annexed Crimea from Ukraine and made it part of the Russian Federation."
Putin is doing everything the way Hitler did on the eve of World War II. Rickards admires, in my opinion, both. As a result of this, Putin will end his life in much the same way as Hitler. The only difference is that Putin does not have the courage to commit suicide and he will probably be helped with this.
In the examples of the actions of Putin’s Russia in relation to Georgia and Ukraine, in which they have the right to independently determine their foreign and domestic policies, here Rickards does not even hide the fact that these were acts of direct military aggression by Russia towards neighboring states. And this is a direct violation of the UN Charter and all kinds of international agreements and obligations of Russia. If Putin and the Russian people believe that they can ignore any international norms and universal human values, then this is already a diagnosis.
As for the possible confiscation of Russia's gold and foreign exchange reserves, which are located outside its borders, in favor of Ukraine, the international community here has already clearly determined that Russia is the aggressor in this war and it is she who is responsible for the negative consequences of this aggression. And for the pleasures of destroying, robbing, killing and raping, you have to pay. Any criminal must pay the victim of the attack, including his property. These are generally accepted rules of behavior in any civilized society. And there is no difference here in that Russia is not a civilized state.
