NATO Testing Waters on Buffer Zone as Ukraine Offensive Grinds to Halt

Update for the conflict in Ukraine for October 2, 2023

< - Ukraine’s offensive is now at the 4 month mark, exhausting its potential and failing to achieve any of its objectives;

- The Western media admits that Russia has actually gained more territory this year including during the Ukrainian offensive despite being on the defensive;

- Russia continues degrading a variety of Ukrainian military capabilities the West cannot sufficiently replace while maintaining pressure along the line of contact;

- Both the Russian economy and its military industrial base are admittedly growing while Ukraine and its Western sponsors exhaust their stockpiles, lacking the ability to renew them;

- The West continues talking about building military industrial projects within Ukrainian territory, with the UK recently claiming they may send British troops to “train” Ukrainians in Ukraine;

- This appears to be the foundation for creating a “buffer zone” within western Ukraine, similar to the US-Turkish occupation in Syria, meant to freeze the conflict;

Wait. Putin kills everyone who opposes him, right? So these oligarchs feel okay about telling people how much they hate Putin? Does not compute.

This war needs to end NOW! Too many white Christians are dying - although that’s exactly what the deep state and communists want!

Bill Browder lost money in this non-NATO war between two non-NATO nations, and, boy, is he pissed.....
"William Felix Browder (born 23 April 1964) is an American-born British financier and political activist. He is the CEO and co-founder of Hermitage Capital Management, the investment advisor to the Hermitage Fund, which at a time was the largest foreign portfolio investor in Russia. The Hermitage Fund was founded in partnership with Republic National Bank, with $25 million in seed capital. The fund, and associated accounts, eventually grew to $4.5 billion of assets under management. In 1997, the Hermitage Fund was the best-performing fund in the world, up by 238%. Browder's primary investment strategy was shareholder rights activism. Browder took on large Russian companies such as Gazprom, Surgutneftegaz, Unified Energy Systems, and Sidanco. In retaliation, on 13 November 2005, Browder was refused entry to Russia, deported to the UK, and declared a threat to Russian national security."

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Browder

Lovely little nugget in Wiki: "In 1999, Browder received naturalisation as a British citizen. Meanwhile, he relinquished his U.S. citizenship in 1998. He cited that he did so because of "a legacy of bad feeling about the rule of law" as a result of his family having been 'viciously persecuted' by U.S. authorities in the 1950s, citing especially his communist grandfather, Earl Browder who was imprisoned twice during the era of McCarthyism."

Persecution in the US for being communist. Can you blame him for his....

Wait! Is the US currently imprisoning J6 folks? Hmm. "Viciously persecuted."

Place this in a larger context"

"...a 2001 moratorium on the sale of land to foreigners had always represented an obstacle to unrestrained privatisation. As post-Maidan governments turned again to the IMF for financing, aid was conditioned on a series of land reforms that would finally allow foreign corporations to acquire vast tracts of the country's farmland. In 2020, Zelenskyy gave in to the IMF's demands and finally repealed the moratorium. 'Agribusiness interests and oligarchs will be the primary beneficiaries of such reform,' said Olena Borodina of the Ukrainian Rural Development Network. 'This will only further marginalise smallholder farmers and risks severing them from their most valuable resource.' But the World Bank could barely contain its excitement, gushing: 'This is, without exaggeration, a historic event.' Even though the new law isn't set to come into force until next year, US and Western European agrobusinesses have already bought up millions of hectares of Ukraine's farmland — with 10 private companies reportedly controlling most of it."

Oligarchs. Their oligarchs. Our oligarchs. Massive "public debt" and massive private profits.

“Oligarchs ‘hatred’ for Putin grows...”

Russian Oligarchs have ALWAYS hated Putin due to Putin making them stay-in-their-lane, which means stay clear of politics (and stick to business).

By the way, if the US did the same, we might even still have fair elections, for starters.

..."300,000 Russian men have died in this war."

That means more emails from lovely, lonely young Russian women seeking companionship.
