Most Russians still think Reagan was the best US President.

So what has happened to the great Ukrainian offensive, which we were led to believe would dislodge Vladimir Putin's invading armies? I suppose a surprise is still possible, but it looks as if it has stalled, just as similar big pushes did in the First World War.
In fact the whole thing looks more and more like World War One, with its years of muddy, bloody stalemate, trenches, artillery bombardments-and the mass slaughter, disfigurement and maiming of thousands of young men. And in the USA, those who were once keen on this war are growing cool. America's NBC News recently reported that there are already 'conversations' aimed at starting talks...
The conflict in Ukraine was always unnecessary. It has done nothing but harm to Ukraine and Ukrainians. Ukraine has been used as a battering ram in someone else's quarrel. The whole thing was cooked up in the same Washington DC kitchen where the even crazier invasion of Iraq was prepared. And I did try to tell you that the policy of driving Russia crazy with NATO expansion would make us less safe, not more so. I really hope this will be the end of it. But I very much fear that it won't.
I must respectfully ask Suella Braverman, the current Home Secretary, how she has until now failed to realize that the Police in this country are a militant left-wing organization. I mean, apart from anything else, she is Home Secretary and so has to pay some attention to this increasingly strange organization, with its rainbow flags, its Twitter Patrols and its knee-taking....

Its being kept secret. Especially since the u.s. is supplying the ukes with ‘hush-a-boom’ munitions.

Britain is not the stalwart, distinctive island nation that it once was. Eventually Americans will come to realize that Britain committed cultural suicide in the 1960s. It has been transformed and has embraced neo pagan hedonism. widespread abortion, the embrace of homosexuality and drug use is now the degenerate norm.
NATO and the USA will choke on what Russia’s conditions to end the war.
Russia will want Odessa, Kharkiv and Kiev and all points East. They will want Poland, Hungary, Belarus and themselves to jointly administer the western part of Ukraine.
in sum, the dissolution of Ukraine.
So the war will continue until that happens.
He is pretty much spot on.
Mr. Hitchens was on “X” today as David Cameron the Remainer on Brexit was brought back into government as Foreign Minister and Braverman was fired as Home Secretary.
“We are doomed, you just have to learn to enjoy it...”

The deceitful West had plenty of fair warning from Russia as it regards Ukraine.
She didn’t fail to spot police bias. She was fired for repeatedly criticizing police bias in no uncertain terms.
Her firing proves that the “Conservatives” have been infiltrated by Leftists.
Mr. Hitchens has written a book about Mr. Cameron the new FM and former “Conservative” Prime Minister showing how Leftist he really is.
So Putin is losing heart, right???
The Neocons are reassessing at this point.
“The Neocons”
a phrase that has been over worn, over used and misused so much it has become meaningless other than as a slanderous use against an opinion someone does not like
They are real people real policy makers unfortunately from Dick Cheney to Victoria Nuland and the list goes on.
“They are real people real policy makers unfortunately from Dick Cheney to Victoria Nuland and the list goes on.”
Yet, folks like you have erroneously extended “the list” to anyone you disagree with in foreign policy areas. If Ronald Reagan were around today you’d be calling him a Neocon, which he wasn’t.

False argument Ronald Reagan opposed Communism in the USSR and brought it down.
The Neocons on the other have a beef with Russian nationalism which is separate from the Communism that was vanquished at the end of the Cold War.
Many of these policy makers operate on the bitterness of the persecution of their ancestors by Russians in the Czarist times IMHO.
One other theory would be that the Neocons are Extreme Leftists bored deep into our government.
British policy makers like Tony Blair and David Cameron have been linked to their Far Left past in the writings of Peter Hitchens.
“The Neocons on the other have a beef with Russian nationalism which is separate from the Communism that was vanquished at the end of the Cold War.”
No matter what the “Neocons” think, the general opposition to Putin’s INVASION of Ukraine, does not concern “Russian nationalism” but Putin’s revival of Russian imperialism. By seeing a “Neocon” under every rock you are missing all the legitimate arguments against Putin’s wars.
Putin is not terribly different than the Soviet commissars - imprisoning and assassinating opponents, domestic and foreign. That has zero to do with “nationalism”.
“False argument Ronald Reagan opposed Communism in the USSR and brought it down.”
Poland and the Soviet union were different matters.
The Soviets defeat in Afghanistan and Reagan’s unstinting military buildup, and the bad internal domestic economy of the Soviet’s, followed by Gorbechov’s attempt at Glasnost and Peristroika COLLECTIVELY (not singularly) toppled the Soviet system from within leading to the temporary lead by Yeltsin.
But the only two systems that were working at that time was the KGB/FSA and the Russian mobs. They eventually linked arms elevated Putin and their mobocracy has been in charge since then.
Putin is the same as the old imperial czars and the Soviet Czars. Same role different titles.
