From the article: The host asks him if the Maidan revolution in 2014 was organized by the Americans.

He replies: “One thing that particularly caught my attention is Victoria Nuland, who is currently the U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, saying that...”

...it cost the U.S. $5bio to get into Ukraine and that they weren’t going to leave now after that. What does that mean, Madame Nuland? She is by the way the same one who, when told the Europeans weren’t happy, said ‘f*ck the EU’. So it’s pretty clear...”

Tells you everything you need to know.

The article also mentions Ukraine shutting off the water to Crimea. That's an act of war.

teeter on the redline

Odd Euro phrasing.

When folks gotta pee, they pee.

Red line, blue line.. they pee on it.

Teeter indeed.

The water supply to Crimea was cut off after Russia stole it from Ukraine. And why should Ukraine send water to the thieving Russian scum?

Ukraine dammed the water and the Russians blew up the dam.

It wasn't the Ukrainians water to dam. For every right they claim against someone else, the same can be done to them.

If all that was required was claiming water, the sun would never set on the British Empire.

Aleksandr Dugin*, in 1997, had predicted everything that Putin has done

I guess he was a Psychic, huh? Got messages from God, huh?

Practically a proto-Qtard, him. Praise His Name!

If the water is in Ukraine then it’s Ukrainian water.

Also, Pidor Putin can go perform an unnatural act with his mother.

Russell Brand video suggests that the war could be stopped if the money flow ends. We should demand the Monied crowd forgive Ukraines debt. (That are making 300% on their loans to Ukraine). I think that’s a good angle to start. They won’t but they’ll know we know they know we know.
Insanity.

Hmmm...after some further digging it appears that the 2nd SS Panzer Division (Das Reich) was composed of Germans, and NOT Ukrainians.

Kind of makes this person’s other assertions a tad suspect.

If you know history, the current players, and current events, you can indeed make accurate predictions. I realize you've never seen anything like that from the leaders here in the United States.

This war is very telling.

It is very telling about us in a negative way:

1. When we do not have/see a threat of force, we will walk all over you if our economic interests collide.

2. We no longer see Russia as a world power, a peer, or even near peer.

Irony:

https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/solomon-islands-says-wont-allow-chinese-military-base-knows-ramification-2022-04-01/

The Solomon Islands worked out a deal with the Chinese. For them it would have been economically beneficial to let the Chinese in. But under pressure from the US, Australia and New Zealand, they backed off. And this is ***right now*** while we tell the Russians to accept us playing in their back yard.

Did we tolerate Russian missiles in Cuba?
Did we tolerate Grenada building a huge runway and getting Soviet support?
Did we tolerate Nicaragua being aligned with the Soviets years past?

But since I mention China, they too prove my point. We would never dare do with China today what we are doing with Russia, specifically Taiwan or the Spratly Islands. Why? Because the economic interests want us to get along with them ($1.15 per hour wage for a factory workers - no EPA, no OSHA, avoid some taxes) and they are a near peer.

Yes, China where you have oppression of Uygers, Christians, forced labor, a single party communist rule, censorship, political prisoners...That's an “ old friend” where we see no wrong. Just like we see no wrong In Saudi Arabia, where you have a kingdom, no free speech, oppression of gays (they get thrown from buildings), women, and they gave the order to have a US resident working for the US news media to be hacked apart alive, in the NATO country of Turkey: Kashoggi.

Our interests in this conflict are PURELY economic. Ukraine is a former Soviet Republic, not a member of NATO, has a huge ethnic Russian population, their government is corrupt, it's hardly a democracy nor has free speech, they have entire units that had a Nazi ideology (now just starting to become known in the US)... And we are talking about “sovereignty” and “democracy.”

In summary: we lied, we're supporting shit heads, Russia has a viable security argument, we have no contractual security agreement with Ukraine... We are there for money (Ukraine is an economic diamond in the rough), and all the human rights, sovereignty, democracy talk are just a post decision rationalizations that do not even make any sense but get the masses behind the decisions made for them.

This is sthe sort of rationality you get from wife abusers. The crminality and barbarism is not Putins fault. No it the West fault for not kowtowing to his meglomania and thuggish impulses.

BTW it absure for the Putin bots to blame the West and Minski when their god Putin declared "The Minski agreements no longer exist" as justifiticaion for hsi criminal barbarism

Letting China (at least the current regime) set up shop right next to Australia is a bad idea. Letting Russia take Ukraine is a bad idea. Both of these are toxic, at least in their current incarnation.

Oh, I see, Spain, Morocco, and Egypt can claim the Mediterranean. Why not dam it?

As for saying Putin is my god, it must be nice to live life without facts.
