Supporting Ukraine against Russia was your biggest mistake…
I thought Ukraine was supposed to win with the support of Western democracies. We have been told, by Karlin for instance, that the West has a GDP far surpassing Russia, and the Russians would simply lose…

It is rather questionable the amount of help Russia received from the likes of China, North Korea, or Iran. We have all heard about Iranian drones the Shahid-Geran but it is unclear how many of those drones Iran has delivered, or whether the Russians haven’t acquired the technology and don’t produce the drones themselves. I think the second option is more probable, and the Russian have actually perfected the Iranian prototype.
There was a story about the Russians firing a North Korean version of Iskander, the Kimskander. There was also a story about North Korea providing artillery shells. There was also a story that the North Korean shells are shit and they explode prematurely. If the second information is true, and not just a propaganda, this form of help wasn’t worth much. On the other hand, we have also heard that Russia is perfectly capable of producing shells by themselves.

Recently, a story about North Korean soldiers being sent to Ukraine has surfaced. The Kim regime could be interested in providing its troops with some combat experience but is this a game-changer? On the other hand, Ukraine has attracted thousands of volunteers from the West, from Georgia, Chechens and Islamists from North Caucasus and the Middle East. This is a very internationalized conflict, and many parties would like to be present.
China’s position is not exactly supportive of Russia’s efforts. You don’t hear about the Russians firing Chinese ammo and rockets on Ukraine. Recently, I heard China is developing drones together with Russia. I think I saw a document that said China will work with Russia but not to the detriment of its own interests. Hence, China is happy to import Russian oil and gas but Chinese banks might be reluctant to service Russian clients because of sanctions. Also, many of those FPV drones Ukraine was using to destroy Russian tanks were bought from China. China recently said they will not allow export of technologies that might be used for military purposes but I don’t think Beijing has the infrastructure to police people in Czechia that send drones to Ukraine.
And this brings me to another point. Ukraine is benefiting from an international financial system. I have seen zero fundraisers for Russia or the republics of the Donbas but I have seen a lot of fundraisers for Ukraine. That is on top of packages sent by Western governments. Russia has only itself to rely on, and Ukraine is still losing. The whole point in having Ukraine fight Russia was to deal a blow with Russia by proxy. Russia is seen, by the West as a competitor that ought to be contained by constantly mounting sanctions, negative PR, and proxy conflicts on its borders. This stress is supposed to halt Russia. And nobody gives a fuck if some Ukrs are going to die at this.

2 weeks ago, Apple deleted almost 100 VPN, today independent media. Current Time and Radio Liberty. (Note: both of these “independent” media are sponsored by the US government)
I spoke about this at a UN session. Such measures don’t do any harm to Putin, they give him advantage because he controls the TV.
However, they are depriving the Russians of access to truthful and honest information.
It is a mistake to follow a repressive law, to pay billions in fines in Russian war chest and to think we exist in a world of “business as usual.”
Czechia paid Russia 5 times for its oil and gas than it sent in aid to Ukraine…

This number comes from the Centre for the study of democracies and the Centre for the study of energies and clean air. These bona fide, no doubt non-profit (taxpayer funded) organizations say that Czechia could shed its dependence on Russian oil and gas by importing gas from Norway, and buying LNG on the international market (did you know the latter is often also Russian?). Oil could be imported through a pipeline from Italy. Czechia is 60% dependent on Russian oil.

I saw this TikTok…

Unfortunately, the video contains copyrighted music and YouTube is limiting the views on this. But what it shows is what I have covered on this blog, that is that the Ukrainian language is only really used in Western Ukraine, and Google shows as much.
You might hear people say that Ukrainians have switched to Ukrainian because Putin invaded. Some might have gone through this transition but I bet you most did not. Here is Zhirinovski splitting a Ukraine cake for you. Watch it on a wide screen for the best detail.

A new narrative. Biden is apparently afraid of Putin and does not give the Ukrainian Nazis the wunderwaffe needed to defeat Russia. We are being told that if we just gave the Ukrainiana more gear they would defeat Putin. If we just allowed the Ukrnazis to shoot cruise missiles at Russia, Putin would flex.

NATO membership for Ukraine has again reared its head. In reality, what they want to do is to leave Russia a part of Ukraine, negotiate piece and then accept what remains of Ukraine into NATO. You will hear Western officials goading Ukraine to accept loss of territory in exchange for ceasefire.
Luckily though, Zelensky cannot do this, he would be deposed by the Nazis, who want to continue the fight. And that’s why they will be destroyed and Russia will be restored.

Thou shall not bury yer dead on BlackRock’s land!(this is probably a fake story but morbidly entertaining)
While the Ukrainians are made to die on the battlefield, the Zelensky regime sells Ukrainian land to international financiers. This is the reality of modern war, the poor schmucks are forced to defend “Western democracy”, or what not, in their own piss and shit, in trenches in Eastern Ukraine. Their wives are cuckolding them while they are away. And Vanguard buys all the fields…
Having something to fight for is very important. Recruitment in Russia is largely voluntary, in Ukraine they literally have to snatch men off the streets…
This ain’t me saying this. A new report from Oakland Institute does.
“Despite being at the center of news cycle and international policy, little attention has gone to the core of the conflict — who controls the agricultural land in the country known as the breadbasket of Europe. Answer to this question is paramount to understanding the major stakes in the war,” said Frédéric Mousseau, Oakland Institute’s Policy Director and co-author of the report.
My friends, I have said this before, Russia needs to come out of this war holding the most of the Ukrainian Chernozem Belt. In a sense, this will be a liberation because these international financiers are banned by sanctions to invest in Russia.
The total amount of land controlled by oligarchs, corrupt individuals, and large agribusinesses is over nine million hectares — exceeding 28 percent of Ukraine’s arable land. The largest landholders are a mix of Ukrainian oligarchs and foreign interests — mostly European and North American as well as the sovereign fund of Saudi Arabia. Prominent US pension funds, foundations, and university endowments are invested through NCH Capital, a US-based private equity fund.

Several agribusinesses, still largely controlled by oligarchs, have opened up to Western banks and investment funds — including prominent ones such as Kopernik, BNP, or Vanguard — who now control part of their shares. Most of the large landholders are substantially indebted to Western funds and institutions, notably the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the World Bank.
***
Western financing to Ukraine in recent years has been tied to a drastic structural adjustment program that has required austerity and privatization measures, including the creation of a land market for the sale of agricultural land. President Zelenskyy put the land reform into law in 2020 against the will of the vast majority of the population who feared it would exacerbate corruption and reinforce control by powerful interests in the agricultural sector. Findings of the report concur with these concerns. While large landholders are securing massive financing from Western financial institutions, Ukrainian farmers — essential for ensuring domestic food supply — receive virtually no support. With the land market in place, amidst high economic stress and war, this difference of treatment will lead to more land consolidation by large agribusinesses.
Few Ukrainians realize that treason is salvation and liberation…
Angry Russians stealing toilets…
Honcharenko resurrects the Russophobic meme about Russians shitting in the street and not having toilets. I have addressed this issue here, and have come to the conclusion that the toilet situation is actually worse in Ukraine.
Once upon a time, Honcharenko campaigned in Odessa in support of the Russian language. He was harvesting the votes. Then he got fucked over in Crimea…
Then he helped burn people alive in Odessa. And now he wasn’t to shoot rockets at Russia. Nice career, don’t you think? And this little twerp says that the rocket strikes would depose Putin. What is worse, Putin or a faggot that burned people alive in Odessa?

What a headline: Tech Giants Produce More Emissions Than the Whole of Ukraine. Tech Giants are lying about their impact upon the planet.
Why is Ukraine seen as dirty?
NAFO trolls have been telling us about Ukrainian resistance that Russia did not expect and about unmotivated Russian mobiks. But I know that fighting for Zelensky is a fate worse than death…

“Not all mobilized soldiers are leaving their positions, but the majority are. When new guys come here, they see how difficult it is. They see a lot of enemy drones, artillery and mortars,” one unit commander currently fighting in Pokrovsk told CNN. He also asked to remain anonymous.
…
“They go to the positions once and if they survive, they never return. They either leave their positions, refuse to go into battle, or try to find a way to leave the army,” he added.
…
As the battlefield situation deteriorated, an increasing number of troops started to give up. In just the first four months of 2024, prosecutors launched criminal proceedings against almost 19,000 soldiers who either abandoned their posts or deserted, according to the Ukrainian parliament.
…
This approach became so common that Ukraine changed the law to decriminalize desertion and absence without leave, if committed for the first time.
…
Pokrovsk has become the epicenter of the fight for Ukraine’s east. Russian forces have been inching towards the city for months, but their advances have sped up in recent weeks as Ukrainian defenses begin to crumble.
