“NATO betrayed Russia long ago”

I totally disagree with how you interpret historical events. I TOTALLY resent you alleging the US has sacrificed it’s integrity, honor, and word. How ironic that you labeled our nation Amerika! IMO, so very wrong and inappropriate.

Although, I do firmly believe everyone is entitled to freedom of thought and expression. I also am not here to be responsible to dictate a viewpoint. The responsibility for each individual is to weigh information and develop their own point of view.

One can from freeper Jumper's home page [https://freerepublic.com/~jumper/] that he been involved in enough TRUE historical events that his interpretation is probably Gold Standard.

Once again, we'll refer to freeper Jumper's home page to see that he's probably a great judge of the US and its integrity, honor, and word.

I'm calling it the United States of Banana - considering the destruction of the "Rule of Law" and the substitution of the "Rule of Men" - political prosecutions by The Tater's Department of Jesters and various corrupt state and local prosecutorial DNC stooges.

So, once again, listen to The Big Toe:

I just spent 10 or more minutes watching a 36 minute video linked in comment #16 by a frequent FR Russia supporter, and then dozed off. When I woke up I was near the beginning of a 49 minute presentation by a British historian who also had experience in Russia, and international security positions. I watched that one for over 30 minutes and am now posting my thoughts. Here is the link to the historian’s lecture:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b95zlfbW9yE

The presenter in the video linked from comment #16 says he is reporting in a public square in Moscow. He shows a view of the Kerch Bridge taken from a train moving past the damaged auto roadway. It does not look as severe as the damage caused months ago by a truck bomb. He suggests it will be fixed in a few days. Other reports suggest it will take a month. From my own experience with construction renovation I think a month is more likely, although a lane or 2 of the 4 lane highway might be restored more quickly as it was the last time. He then goes on to discuss/report many other thoughts about the current conflict. One thing that struck me was his failure to ever really look at the camera. His head shifted from side to side, but never directly ahead. He also had a full beard and dark sunglasses so you could not see his eyes. The impression this gave me was of someone hiding himself.

I missed the first few minutes of the historian’s talk, but will go back after posting this to see if I can report his name. I will also finish watching the rest of his report as it was deep and detailed. He mentions Alexandr Dugin, who published a detailed plan for how Russia should restore it’s power and greatness. Putin is reported to be much influenced by his major work which I will also try to find and link here. He has multiple decades of experience in various national and international security situations. The historian reports that in 2006, he himself said he believed Putin/Russia would reassert itself as a growing power and look toward Ukriane in this effort. He further reports on the great psychological impact from the breakup of the Soviet Union and the future impact on world events. He suggests the state of friendliness between Russia and Ukraine is rather like that between Great Britain and Ireland. At any rate, I repeat the link below and then am off to find out more as promised.

Unfortunately, although I tried to track down the talk given by the British historian by clicking the link at comment #16 and then going to the following videos, that did not work. I saw several videos about the Kerch Bridge, including military implications for the war. Also longer videos about the broader view of the entire Russia/Ukraine war and world politics. Apparently, the videos that follow an initial link can be changed over time, so I never found the historians talk.

However, I did track down the reference he made to Alexandr Dugin and his 1997 book Foundations of Geopolitics, that has so influenced Putin’s thinking and actions. This book is being used in Russian war colleges and is well worth learning about. Read the 10 bullet points listing Dugin’s plans for Russia taking over all of Europe. The step of separating the sea powers of Britain and the US from the European land powers has already been achieved by Brexit. We now have learned that Prigozhin fielded a political action in the US during the 2015/16 election which resulted in the Trump election. To what degree was something similar activated in the UK?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics

Continue by reading the other 10 or 11 bullet points describing Dugin’s plans for the rest of the world, ending with details on what to do in the US, Canada, and Latin America.

* “Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke “Afro-American racists”. Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.[9]
