"eventually" yes, but the sunk cost fallacy is a hell of a drug, plus there is a whole lot of western pride riding on this

"May you live in interesting times" is a Chinese curse. As a result of globalization, everyone, including the Chinese, is experiencing the effects of living in "interesting times". In fact, the existence of channels such as The Duran is a response to difficult "interesting times". People today have to be explained absolutely everything, as if adults had regressed in their development to the stage of a small child, and this is terrible. A part of the public even has trouble distinguishing between a woman and a man, but they feel perfectly competent to decide on the composition of the government or the direction of foreign policy. Unfortunately, politicians do not grow on trees, but are brought up and educated in societies, which they then try to shape according to their own image of the world. In this sense, people like Biden, Nuland, Blinken, Sullivan, Cameron, Sunak, Scholz, Macron, etc., are a product of societies and the democratic system - none of them came to power as a result of a coup d'état, and probably all of them would condemn attempts to undermine the principles of democracy in their own countries, but they believe that the coup d'état in Ukraine carried out by the hands of Western special services financed by the people, that elected them is a great achievement of liberal democracy, worthy of violating basic human rights. Thus, we have a puppet Kiev regime, which in the West is stubbornly presented as a legal, independent and democratic authority representing all Ukrainians. Every day we are told that NATO under the leadership of the USA is a fundamentally defensive organization, although it openly conducts an aggressive policy of military and economic attacks on Russia from the territory of a dependent country as a client and beneficiary of the so-called military aid, not being a member of NATO. Everyone can see that the U.S. government is not interested in the life, health, and well-being of Ukrainians, and is investing in the war only because of Ukrainian territory, from which it wants to attack Russia with mercenary Ukrainian forces. As part of this plan, Western democracies are telling their citizens that Bandera's Nazi-based nationalist ideology is the pinnacle of democracy, fully in line with the ideas of basic human rights, individual liberty and political pluralism. The question is: is it the Western political elites who are in crisis and suffering from mental disorders, or is the current catastrophe a manifestation of the collapse of Western societies as a whole of stable organizational structures? After all, it is the supposedly free, educated and sane citizens of these societies who elect their elites in democratic and free elections, and the elected representatives of the authorities create and lead us to the current burning and bloodied Ukraine. It is time to say "check" and appeal with the voice of Western politicians for Kiev to lift the bans on the free movement of Ukrainian citizens, open the borders to all those who want and show the world that Ukrainians consciously and voluntarily choose death and mutilation at the front, because they believe that it is for the good of Western democracy, which in the reality of the global village renounces all the principles that allegedly distinguish it from Russia and China. Why is it so difficult for people in the West to understand that the modern world cannot exist without Russia and China, and that their economic development and political stability are necessary for Western democracies to have a chance to survive at all, because they are not able to sustain their own existence on the economic level (China is the largest creditor of the USA), and therefore also on the political level? Trade is the foundation of civilizational development, trade routes are the veins of the world, and raw materials, goods and money are the lifeblood that fills them. From this perspective, the plans to strike at the Sino-Russian heart are a simple suicide attempt. Suicidal tendencies should be treated, not presented as the highest proof of love of life.

Viva Russia # Free Assange

Today, May 9, marks the 79th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany aka Victory in Europe day and the Russian people held massive marches and commemorations - not just in Russia - but in countries around the world where Russian expats live. But in the United States, where the mythology persists that the United States defeated the Nazis, there were crickets The estimated population of the Soviet Union in 1940 was 170 million. In other words, 16% of Soviet citizens (which included Russia and Ukraine) died as a consequence of the Great Patriotic War. That does not begin to take into account the number of wounded, which probably represented an additional 20 million people. Compare that with the United States. There are conflicting estimates, ranging from 183,500 up to 276,655 US Army KIA in Europe/North Africa. Let’s go with the higher number. According to the 1940 Census, there were 132,164,569 Americans. That ratio of U.S. KIA in the European/North African theater compared to total population is 0.2%. In other words, far less than 1% of the U.S. population died at the hands of the Nazis. I will put this bluntly - the United States paid almost nothing in the way of blood and treasure in the campaign to defeat Hitler compared to what the Russian people endured. Consider the following: 750,000 Soviets died in the Battle of Stalingrad. At least 670,000 Soviet soldiers and citizens died in the siege of Leningrad. An estimated 421,000 Soviet died in the battle of Operation Citadel/Kursk. The staggering scale of Soviet losses is beyond the comprehension of most Americans. The Soviets tripled all American losses in the European theater in just one battle - Stalingrad. Yet, Hollywood has propagated the myth that the United States carried the burden of the battles that led to the destruction of the Third Reich. Not just Hollywood. In the immediate aftermath the capture of Berlin, the United States and the United Kingdom behaved as if they were the ones who save the world. Well, if that is true, why are the Americans and Brits silent on VE day? Because they did not endure the catastrophic human loss that the peoples of the Soviet Union endured, especially the Russians. That is why millions of Russians marched today carrying photographs of their grandfathers, grandmothers, great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers who served and died in the colossal fight to destroy the Nazis. The legacy of the sacrifice of those who fought 80 years ago still burns bright in the souls of the Russian people. Not so in America. A significant portion of the American population is ignorant: Profiteering off of war? That is a different matter. Americans are real good at that grift. Major General Smedley Butler, who wrote War Is a Racket in 1935, nailed it: Today’s America is the Alzheimer’s Generation when it comes to history. We are on a trajectory to pursue wars against Russia, Iran and China without the tiniest bit of appreciation of the potential loss of human life and capital that may be inflicted on the United States if it consummates its rapacious, foolish desire. I salute those Americans who served in World War II and all of the succeeding foreign expeditionary boondoggles. The names of 58,000 Americans decorate a black wall in Washington, DC. The vast majority served honorably and died in part because they believed the lies fed them by corrupt Presidents and a compliant media. Many of those who followed in their footsteps and served honorably in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria are victims of a big lie. They were not fighting to defeat Islamic extremism. They were duped into fighting to fatten the stock portfolios of General Dynamics, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and scores of other Beltway Bandits. War is good business as long as only a small, insignificant (and despised) class of Americans pay the price in blood. The failure of the vast majority of Americans to commemorate May 9 will, I fear, come back to haunt us. If we do not find a way to live in peace with Russia, China or Iran, Americans are not likely to have the good fortune to avoid massive casualties.- Sonar21

That certainly was a blessing for the United States. The fanatical murderous Nazis and the equally fanatical murderous Communists killed each other by the tens of millions. If you believe that Stalin was any better than Hitler than you don’t know your history.

Every unit American veterans claimed to have come up against was an elite ss unit where as in reality it was a bunch of reservists or even children with panzerfausts, this is the root of American exceptionalism regarding WW2.

A sign that the USSR like the Russian empire before it and the Russian federation today, cares little to none about the loses when it comes to meeting the objectives of its elites. The original meat grinder of history, however Russia of today is not the major power it was in the past. Birth rates are at record lows. The population pyramid is STILL out of wack from the millions of dead men from WW2. Russia no longer has the ability to solve its problems by throwing millions of men and drowning its enemies in bodies. Hence why this war is such a slow grind for Russia. It cant overwhelm Ukraine, it cant man the entire front with enough men to out flank Ukraine. Instead its got to focus on a small portion of the front and hope to win before it runs out of stuff.

Thank you Alexander!

Thank you Alexander. J.

“The loss of Chasovoy Yar in the Donetsk region would not be of “decisive importance”; it is an “ordinary urban settlement,” - Commander of the Ground Forces Pavlyuk” With the words “I knew it!” - this cannot be conveyed! I think sooner or later we will hear from Washington "Ukraine is such an ordinary territory that has no special significance"

Chasiv Yar is hardly an important place; and without the hills around it, it would only be of minor tactical importance .. Chasiv Yar (now a ruin) is the 258th most populated place in Ukraine... (Pre-war population 12,250). Bakhmut was the 56th most populated place in Ukraine... Avdiivka was the 131st most populated place in Ukraine. Notice a trend line here. The populated places that Russia keeps making a major offensive efforts vs. keep getting less important & smaller.

So Abrams tanks and ATACAM missles are vulnerable to shovels. Who knew?

MASSIVE RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE UNDERWAY - Huge Grad missile salvo launched at East Ukraine lights up night sky as Russia starts major offensive on Volchansk, near Kharkov. Massive artillery and air strikes hit NATO-backed army positions throughout the northern Kharkov region as Ukrainian media reports bridges and crossings are being destroyed around Volchansk, leaving Kiev scrambling to hunt for reserves and supplies. Situation is very tense. The main reserves are expected to be brought soon. They must fight back - Ukrainian officer. - Intel Republic

Speculating about Russian plans are pointless. Please spare us more of that. Ukraine is screwed, details to be determined.

@@Jamicaman516 Why do you say it went badly? Quite the opposite. Don't believe CNN or ze BBC. Russia had tanks in Kiev in the first week of the invasion. Zelensky flew to Istanbul to negociate Ukraine's surrender. Conditions were agreed with Russia but not signed yet. In sign of good faith, Russia pulled out from Kiev. But Boris Johnson went to Kiev and told the Green Beggar that Washington didn't approve his decision to surrender. Zelensky flipped flopped and the hostilities resumed. 600,000 dead Ukrainians and a defeated NATO later, things are not going well for Ukraine while the West is in economical turmoil, especially Germany, and is oiut of munitions and weapons, even for themselve... Ruskies for the win.

@@Jamicaman516 Kharkiv offensive is much easier to set up logistically than a move through Belarus... but likely its not going to get very far... Its 25 miles from the Russian border to Kharkiv. How fast have the Russians advanced against firm resistance in these UA battles?? Usually its a few hundred meters per day when they do make progress. IF they advance any faster they open themselves up to counterattacks& arty. strikes in the open..
