If you are looking for proof why the British military is a third rate organization that could not last a week on the battlefields of Ukraine, look no further than Colonel Richard Kemp, a columnist for the Daily Telegraph.
His latest piece of shoddy punditry is representative of his previous efforts — banality filled with distortions and delusions. He also is a practitioner of psychological projection — i.e., attributing to Russia the shortcomings of his own nation. He writes concerning Russia and Putin that:
Its economy is flatlining and its leader, through incompetence, is systematically dismantling an army that was once so powerful that half a million US troops were permanently stationed in Europe to counter it. Russia’s demographic turmoil has long been a nightmare for Putin and all he has done is exacerbate it, as thousands of young Russians are slaughtered in Bakhmut and, according to Moscow’s media,upwards of 700,000 young men have fled the country to avoid mobilisation.
To many countries Russia is a pariah, with even its status as an armed gas station in ruins. It will probably never be able to recover from any of this and will struggle to betaken seriously – except by other rogue states who scent the opportunity to buy oil and gas at a discount, or perhaps a few fighter jets.
Yes, Moscow has nuclear weapons, and Putin never misses an opportunity to threaten to bring them into play, but he knows that China is unlikely to allow their use. That encapsulates the parlous depths that Putin has dragged his country down to. For the foreseeable future, Russia will be nothing more than a Chinese vassal. During his recent visit to Moscow, Xi Jinping’s barely-concealed disdain contrasted humiliatingly with his host’s lavish hospitality and knee-bending aggrandisement.
Let us start with his insistence that Putin is systematically “dismantling” the Russian military. According to a March 2023 report by Statista:
Russia’s total military manpower was estimated at 1,330,900 as of 2023. Of them, 830.9 thousand personnel were active, 250 thousand were reserve service members, and 250 thousand were paramilitary forces.
How does that compare to Britain? According to Chief of the General Staff, General Sir Mark Carleton-Smith:
The British Army is too small to effectively tackle threats to British interests. “It’s certainly highlighted the fact that mass and size are important. I’m not comfortable with an Army of just 73,000. It’s too small. That was never part of our proposition going into the review. In fact, I was working to direction that we regrow the Army to 82,000 – and we have done that successfully over the past four years.
What drugs is this man using? If we deployed the British Army to the University of Alabama’s football stadium, there would still be 27,077 empty seats. Send the Brits to Ukraine and their army would be gone in two weeks. Hell, the current force pales in comparison to 300,000 British troops rescued from Dunkirk 83 years ago. The fact that a man like Kemp could rise to the rank of Colonel helps explain the current abysmal state of the British Army.
It appears that Kemp is a fan of the late Senator John McCain. He trots out the silly meme that Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country. And Kemp insists that Russia is a pariah. I guess he does not read the Economist (probably too many big words for him). A report from the Economist Intelligence Unit in March noted that net support for Russia on the global scene has grown since February 2022:
“China remains the most significant country in this [Russia’s supporters] category, but other developing countries (notably South Africa, Mali and Burkina Faso) have also moved into this grouping, which accounts for 33% of the world’s population,” the EIU report said, adding these trends highlight Russia’s growing influence in Africa
While South Africa caused controversy in February by holding joint military drills with Russia and China on the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine. South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor indicated that the “massive transfer of arms” from the West to Ukraine had changed Pretoria’s outlook and lauded the country’s “growing economic bilateral relationship” with Moscow.

Retired Colonel Kemp reminds me of Colonel Klink from Hogan’s Heroes:
Kemp’s take on the summit between Putin and Xi Jinping shows he ignores news from the very newspaper that pays him to write this drivel. Does this look like a weak man sucking up to the Chinese:
If the regular soldiers in the Russian army had doubts why they are fighting their brothers and cousins from Ukraine, (nobody wants that) they have now a REAL reason, they are fighting the anti-Christ.

This is very close to home for me, My grand-father, and my great-grand-father were BOTH sent to jail because they were Orthodox priests, Only one survived the jail, my great-grand-father, and he rebuilt his church.
I’ve met him as child, his eyes could burn through your soul. He died in his 90ies, after his work was done.
You just do NOT mess with the religion in that part of the world.
Unless you’re a Blinken. Then you can meet with the Eastern Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch to celebrate the Church schism you worked so diligently to precipitate. And call it “religious freedom”.
The best way to defeat your enemy is to attack what is most sacred to them.
A good example is the 3 or 4 times the Moghuls, British, Indians attacked the most sacred temple of the Sikhs, the Golden Temple.
They attack at the heart of a people in a place that took generations to build that represents the soul of the nation to destroy the soul of a people.
But each time the Golden Temple was rebuilt. And so will the Orthodox rebuilt and the attackers leaders killed with memory giving greater strength.
Pissing off all of Orthodox Russian, which includes roughly half a million soldiers on your doorstep is not a bright idea.
What is interesting about this is the action is so telling, to the world, of the hate and nazism background of those in power in Ukraine. What is sad, is the absolute silence from America and the West about the Ukrainian Nazi’s destroying the Christian Orthodox Church, especially during Orthodox Lent.
These are men, that after the SMO, will answer to a court of law and if not there, then to their fellow citizen.
Zelenski, protected by American security, scared shiteless to have Ukrainians with weapons around him, needs to review the U.S. exit from Viet Nam and Afghanistan.
This Brit is still fighting in the Charge of the Light Brigade in Crimea. Whistling past the graveyard.
The American people do not know what, and why, is going on in Ukraine. State-run media is not telling them and they don’t know that they are watching/reading state-run media…hell, many of them think that Russia is still communist…
Media simply do not cover certain subjects. Churches avoid controversy. Once a narrative is established, the churches must “all speak the same thing”, no matter how correct it is. Tithers must not be alienated.
Zelensky is a Jew, anyone that does not yet understand that the primary perpetrators of these atrocities and the overall motivation of this Western obsession to conquer and subjugate Russia is Jewish Thalmudist at full throttle, is just another denial of reality. Just more refusal to acknowledge, to call a Spade a God damned spade, of that big fat mocking elephant standing squarely in the middle of the room.
Silence by the very people who caused this conflict?
Are you really so dense?
When will you wake up to the reality that the “west” you imagine does not exist.
This action against the Orthodox religion is started long before this recent action by the Zelensky regime.
It started years ago under western pressure to split the Orthodox church.
Sadly the Orthodox leadership caved to or was bought off by the demonic west a few year ago- which enabled this current action.
The only good that is likely to come out of this is the complete elimination of toxic, evil western influence in Ukraine when Russia completes it’s mission.
Can anybody explain this statement to me? Is it as delusional as it first appeared to me? I’m somehow caught between a ‘yeah, figures’ and ‘wow, a currency human rights violation now? What will they think of next?’
Astounding statement from White House official talking head Karine Jean-Pierre:
“We are deeply concerned about the transition of Brazil and China to national currencies when conducting mutual settlements. This is a violation of the rights of our citizens who rely on a stable dollar exchange rate on the world market .
America will not allow other countries to dictate their terms to it in mutual trade. We want to warn that the violation of the rights of ordinary Americans will not remain without consequences for these countries.
Ash, pray tell when was the Golden Temple attacked by the Indians?
Yeah that’s what I wanted to ask.
1984
@ Ash, 1984??
Do you remember what all happened prior to that?
The edicts that were being issued, innocent people dragged from the buses and shot…
It wasn’t an attack, it was a cleanup. I’m a Sikh and I was in Punjab at that time. I guess they thought that violence would only go one way, that there would be no repercussions…
When all hell breaks loose over humanity, all heaven breaks loose over hell. Expect a universal clean up event.
Well, seems the conclusions I came to in 1995, 1999, 2008, 2014 and 2022 have all been repeated here by a group of international law specialists. It’s a bit of a hard listen for various reasons but that said: https://theduran.com/the-crumbling-of-international-law-w-rein-mullerson-alexander-mercouris-and-glenn-diesen/
So, what’s the all-important deal to pull from the above then?
Simple: The ‘rules-based international order’ only has one rule: ‘might makes right’.
Give it your best shot, antagonists and if you don’t like the result, tough shit.
They don’t put it like that but both Bo Polny and Martin Armstrong say April 6th and May 1st are important dates.
Beautiful music by the way.
Col. Richard Kemp was the poster child for CRID…Cranial Rectal Insertion Disorder.
May I borrow this term.))
Being British we deny the attempt over centuries to erase Irish Catholicism. That ended badly. Never mess with a people’s religion.
When are you going to rid England and the World from the City of London? It has turned you all into a vicious lot.
I am curious and not sarcastic. How religious is the average Russian now? I know Putin has made the Russian Orthodox head an advisor after religion took many years of neglect and abuse under the Soviet Union.
Oddly enough, a preceding message to one you refer to is interesting:
[About the atmosphere in Bakhmut: “Once you are scared, you are dead!”
The atmosphere in Bakhmut is like nothing else. The vapors of the earth are mixed with gunpowder gases, the smell of diesel fuel, and bandages soaked in blood, and this whole hellish bouquet hits right into the brain. Sometimes it makes you sick, but that’s likely the aftermath of the sprint runs, which is the way you have to move in this inhospitable place.
But most of all, I was struck by the acceptance of death that comes after staying on the frontline for five days in a row . You’re surrounded by death here from all sides, and eventually it forms a comfortable cocoon that protects your consciousness from overload. Corpses are everywhere. There’s a funeral team carrying a KIA (killed in action) in their arms. But turn around the corner, and there are three Ukrainians lying there, killed by a direct hit. Their corpses become a kind of landmark. More than once I heard phrases like: “You get to that faggot with no legs, then go left, and in 300 meters you will be at my place.” “Faggot” is an international slang term at the SMO. We call them this, and they call us this. And how can you not call what is happening here a civil war?
The assault troopers working in Bakhmut have long accepted the chance of becoming KIA in the next raid (assault). A death or an injury to your new friend here is not taken to heart anymore. You bury this data in the depths of your consciousness, and you keep on moving. Soaked in Bakhmut’s atmosphere, I realized that only in this state of mind can a soldier become an assault trooper. The other fighters are trying to stay alive, but these only want to win. Those are completely different motivations, but one can only understand them after several assaults on the frontlines. There is no fear, and there will be none. Once you’re scared, you’re dead. That’s what they say and think in Bakhmut, and this axiom is working.]
Leaving corpses as a landmark is not a new initiative, but a common one at inhospitable places where you have more possibilities to die than to keep alive….

Still, people keeps going to Mount Everest´s death zone….and keeps going to war….even when ill prepared…..
Yet Zelenski was elected to bring Peace. Then slowly, methodically removed all opposition, joined the Biden dirty money team, and agreed to let Ukraine take one for the team. No vote of the people to go to war with Russia.
“Yet Zelenski was elected to bring Peace.”
Hope is the second greatest weakness enhanced by fear; catalysts facilitating in present contexts conflation of media “virtual reality” with reality framing modes of perception through immersion.
These processes of framing perception through immersion have been endemic in “The United States of America” since circa 1620 before the juridical creations of some “nation states”.
The trajectories of these processes in Ukraine have been ongoing since at least 1922, widened in scope and accelerated in tempo.
“Representative democracy” is a comfort blanket, an encouragement to remain within the paradigm enclosed with electrified cattle wire such as “laws” in hope of dissuading attempts at transcendence.
“Representative democracy” is an illusion of comfort/solution, as after restructuring were the gas chambers in Treblinka whose “contents and productivity” required degrees of complicity of the “stuk” being processed.
These concepts and techniques were taught in Trawniki and The School of The Americas, based upon “research” by the Kaiser Reich in colonial practices of subjugation primarily in South West Africa presently known as Namibia, and by Belgium primarily in the Congo.
This is a component of the reasons why the “war” is an ongoing lateral process of transcendence of coercive social relations by social relations based on co-operation to attain mutually agreed purposes: “The United States of America” requires transcendence with their complicity:
“THERE IS NO FIXING STUPID WHEN IT COMES TO….”
almost anything, and so you shouldn’t try.
My elderly family member was a nun in the convent in Kyiv. Zelensky’s junta didn’t spare even nuns. They forced this split in the Orthodox faith to rob the Russian Orthodox churches, to terrorize the believers, even nuns, forcing them into this fake religion. Many nuns left, but my relative had no choice. After serving 30 years in the convent, she was on hospice there, after being diagnosed with a benign brain tumor and on meds to control her intracranial pressure. Her condition was stable for years, but these Inhumas forced her into this new “church.” They cut the 80 yo woman’s hair and renamed her. She stopped taking her meds. She wanted to die, and she died just days after they committed this atrocity over her. I’m sure that she’d have had more time on Earth if they had not exposed her to this humiliation. It broke my heart. I echo the words of the Metropolitan of Kyiv-Pechersky Lavra, whom Zelensky shackled, and arrested, “Mr. President, and your wolf pack – our tears will not fall to the ground but on your head!”
Like, it grieves me to say that humanity never runs out of bastards eager to prove they are just that. My silent prayer is for your relative, my she live on in your thoughts.
Wow Lika, so sorry to hear that.
As they say some people make themselves taller by cutting off the heads of others.
Your relative is a martyr. Keep telling this story. These are the types of stories that can change minds and hearts.
May her memory be eternal.
Вечная память! ☦️
The Metropolitan has been put a location bracelet on his ankle….and believers are being harassed by death squads of hard core nazis with nazi tatoos parafernalia on them to leave the Lavra….the same way the Odessa was crushed….
Freedom of religion in the European “Garden”….

All the more the EU stooges try, this is indefendable in Europe amongst civilized people…This is the sign that they will not stop at anything so as to plunder what of riches remain in Ukraine…there are already a lot of Orthodox reliques and sacred objets on auction through the net by these scoundrels….
https://t.me/EmbajadaRusaEs/212l
Past day a kinda satanic ceremony took place around a young woman praying at the side of the Lavra, whith Ukronazi activists, including some elders, shamafully harassing her and dancing at the tone of a discoteque theme with lyrics about cutting Moskals…The “event” was being filmed by a nazi with a tatoo of a Black Sun in his hand…..
https://t.me/Irinamar_Z/17169
Today it is reported that the young woman has dissapeared…..with all what that implies…..
Welcome to the European “Garden” of the Fourth Reich….. which resembles Mordor, or a psychiatric ward, more than anything else….

BTW, notice the ammount of young people on military age who are exempt of going to the front, the Bakhmut meatgrinder, when they are already sending there teens and elders, because they are kept as stay-behind storm troops to keep the Ukrainian, and European, people in line with NATO directives and narrative….
Kiev Pechersk Lavra harassing nazis have been identified….Notice how well fed and clean they are…..kept that way to harass peaceful unarmed people…. praying….
Both have been awarded the title “Heros of Ukraine” by Zelensky…for what it seems being a hero implies being exempt from fighting at the front….so that to fullfill NATO commitments on erasing Russian culture and religion from Ukraine…
https://t.me/Irinamar_Z/17210
There are no nazis in Ukraine…..This is what the EU, NATO and our governmetns are paying for in Ukraine and for this crap being kept alive so that the US keeps its hegemonic power we must be empoverished to the extent of slavery, pay astronomic energy bills, and keep working from youth to grave….

Memory Eternal for our martyred.
Yep. Destroying Orthodox Christianity is essential for “westernizing” and enslaving Slavs. It has been going on for centuries.
The only thing Jewish about Zelensky is possibly circumcision, but I haven’t seen proof of that. It was obscured by the piano.
Well, the man who owns him is a Jew. Igor Kolamoisky. Not sure if I spelled his name correctly, but he’s definitely a Jew, and Zelensky’s handler.
It’s Kolomoisky but he no longer owns him. Zelensky stripped him of his citizenship, I suppose to try to escape an association with the scum, or maybe to screw him out of some monies loaned.
With spiders in a jar, you never know why they do what they do.
They do what they do, that’s it. Just like when Zelensky was asked about Azov’s nazi-like war crimes: “They do what they do”. And so do you, sir.
Heck, I can’t believe I’m writing this stuff. Do we NEED this God-forsaken place called Ukraine? It’s going to end up sinking us.
My God, we’ve turned into a Jekyll and Hyde nightmare hunting prostitutes for company. Tell me it’s all a dream, please!
There is an old video of Zelensky declaring himself as a Russian speaking Jew. In recent years he transitioned into whatever he is now.
Kolomoysky groomed him for the role of president, and made him one, but got stabbed in the back after Zelensky got new boss. He was also the man behind Azov batalion, and who knows what else. You can’t make this shit up.
Well, Scott Ritter in his usual sweeping rhetoric gives a 70% chance that this all ends in an all-in nuclear exchange, ending life on Earth as we know it. I suggested months ago that I was less concerned with Russia losing than with Russia winning and in that case, how far its western antagonists were prepared to persevere beyond the very extremities of rationality.
As we only see a ratcheting up of western resolve well beyond it’s conventional war capabilities, I begin to wonder if there’s any group concerned enough within the western powers_that_be that are prepared to take the drastic measure of nipping this thing (not in the bud, as we’re well past that stage) but nipping it just before the thermonuclear bloom.
IMHO, this is getting VERY serious.
That is the truth! The same reason the Bolsheviks persecuted and murdered Russian Christians, Russian priests and the Romanov family, spirit of anti-christ, little god of this world.
The British long gone imperial power lingers like a slime left by a slow-moving slug (no offense to slugs).
Now, it’s so pathetic that is already funny, but also dangerous for UK. One of the Russian parliamentary is asking now to get rid of UK, because they crossed too many red lines, and they are plain annoying to everyone.
Britain is like that itch that you scratch but keeps annoying you. It’s basically a failing cesspit run by in-bred English psychopaths renown for their depravity and torture techniques…… Depleted Uranium shells causing long-term damage would be a relished part of their degeneracy. As a fighting force they’re irrelevant but dreams of far-off days of Empire still linger and striving for a semblance of importance in today’s world makes them dangerous.

Nah. Berlin is type of city you want to march in. London city is something you want to fire missiles at, from a far.

Yet the Cabinet is composed of persons whose families first came to UK in 1960s……….I mean they even had a Baghdad-born Kurd whose grandfather was Head of the Iraq Central Bank as Party Chairman……..
If you understood what “inbred” meant you would be looking to Washington DC not London
PoisonFrogs,
What the British legacy, good and bad is systems.
The West has adopted the British system as much of the world has adopted British systems, language and sport. So they live on everywhere regardless.
Truly, a remarkable people.
However there was a difference between the British and some of the West. There used to be the ability to be ashamed and to consider things fairly. Unfortunately that has gone the American way if you are with us or against us. The worst traits of the West have combined rather than the best.
The English had the luxury of living high from the profits extracted from the colonies. Therein lies the basis of British invention, science and ideas. The British Aristocracy had the time to contemplate that which their slaves, indentured servants and prisoners could not.
the luxury of living high
Really ??????? Most of 20th Century Britons lived poor because of the need to pay the Moneylenders in USA for the privilege of fighting a war against Germany……..in 1920s it was 40% State Budget went to Debt Service and financial repression lasted 1941-1979 with Exchange Controls and rationing until 1955………
Americans confuse just who lived high on the hog on STOLEN German patents
Perhaps the west (US) has been infected by the ethnic political baggage of eastern europeans….just saying…people immigrate to start a new life but usually just live their old life in a new locale…from someone who spends more time with immigrants than generational Americans…
You probably have more insight than most here………

Well worth reading……
There is a reason that the Brutish Vampire was known as Perfidious Albion by their fellow imperialists the French. If there’s such a thing as a national DNA, that if the Brutish is lying, just as that of their Amerikastani owners is hypocrisy.
And Indians treat other humans like animals. See, anybody can hurl insults especially when they have an element of truth.
By the way, you are misusing the language you are culturally appropriating. You really mean “truthful”, not “lying”; also, your grammar is execrable.
I note that you don’t distinguish between the peoples of the British Isles (though you do hint at a folk etymology): the people you refer to are the denizens of the city of London and their catamites, rather than native Britons, Scots, Cornishmen, Yorkshiremen or English. How would you like it is I misidentified you by lumping you together with the rest of your benighted countrymen? (Remember, we abolished slavery in India despite your opposition.) Learn some facts before pouring your bile out, son, and I might respect your judgment.
“Abolished Slavery”. And invented Indentured Servitude. A slight-of-hand.
And the British Aristocracy still profited from slavery in other lands.
While the English language shamelessly confiscated any word from any other language, yet the cheek of some Brits, up with which I shall not put.
And who hasn’t heard of “le box lunch,” “le weekend,” and “le picnic” in the French language?
Like Britain India was a country of many kingdoms. Some of which were far more civilised, refined and beautiful than the Brits or anything they had. The rape of India made Britain.
The Brits also enslaved Indians. Don’t forget that . South African indians, plantation Indians.
Yes they outlawed sati but that was already outlawed in the Sikh Empire. On balance the British did more harm than good as they destroyed the more advanced parts of the subcontinent that would have otherwise influenced the rest.
Don’t forget. The first university in the world was in Punjab, India, the Bhuddist universities of Nalanda and Taxilla. Christianity also arrived in India before the UK learnt and bastardised then killed it.
Only an illiterate fool would lump all Indians ethnicities and religions together in the same way most clueless people in the West have no idea that Russia has over 100 ethnicities.
Britain owes all it’s wealth and status to the Indian subcontinent.
Prior to the British colonial rule of India the Indians had the largest textile industry in the world. The Brits broke it up and relocated it to Manchester.
I laugh when I hear Poms whining about the Indians “taking our jobs” IE Indian call centres. Zero knowledge of history.
Talking about call centres..
Scammers in Kolkata should pick 10 Downing Street as their number one target… While Jim Browning is on vacation!!!
Teamviewer or AnyDesk would become Karma software…
Crap. Calico Act 1714 prohibited Indian textile imports. Manchester built its own industry using cotton from USA………
India was not even a united country – and it was Portuguese and French who were there before British……..and of course the Islamic Invaders
Gets boring listening to half-baked whines from grievance lobbyists
Spot on!
They stole as much as they could. Disgusting! Even a monopoly on salt.. The last straw was to design the 1947 Partition just to maximize violence and chaos!
And Sunak is proudly acting as a lapdog for these stinking white supremacists..
Treason on steroids..
Well can you partition hundreds of independent and semi independent kingdoms?
Just to document the idea :
A single entity Punjab was splitted in two.. Members of the same community ended up in two different countries! Is this russian disinformation?
Even a teenager would have found a better solution… Like allowing the Punjabis to join ONE of the two countries…
But Hey what do we know!
The other option is to applaude the British Empire and always look for an excuse to defend them or rewrite history..
Some Genius are still admiring Arthur Harris and his outstanding effort to promote freedom and democracy.. Civilians who survived the bombing of Dresden may have had a different POV.. Better to just forget about them!
Well said. Some Indians sound almost like a dark version of Nazis whose narrative is a loud “I’m superior to you”. Well, If they were so darn superior, why were they subjugated by a small island people located thousands of miles away? It just doesn’t add up. Indians were “enslaved” because they were backward technologically and culturally, that’s the gist of it. Cow worshiping and sacred animals are not signs of reason and advancement. Now, they may want to re-write History to smooth the feathers of their ruffled egos, it won’t work, cause historical facts are stubborn and won’t go away.
That said, it’s not my intention to whitewash the numerous crimes of the British Empire against India and its people which are very real. But, Indians should realize that during the British Empire, entire classes of British people were just as oppressed by the Aristocratic royal oligarchic ruling elite as were Indians. The sad reality is that even though the British Empire days are gone, that elite is still well entrenched in Britain. Worse, it has expanded with a branch in America and an alliance with Zionists and financial circles. It is known nowadays as the Anglo-American oligarchy. This Anglo-American-Zionist alliance is what we call today “The Globalists” who are driving all the nonsensical globalization policies and “Great Reset” that aims at creating a single world government with Jerusalem as its capital. Read the following books and current world events will make total sense to you. Viz. the famous book of Prof. Carol Quigley. See also the work of Pierre Hillard. Required reads for whom desires an understanding of world events.
Seamus says of the Brits
Disrespect meant or not, as you wish:
The time for honoring yourselves will soon be at an end!
Brutish Vampire!!! For a race of blood sucking parasites, aptly appropriate! I will now begin to use this term in reference to the dead and putrefying Albion!! With your consent of course! 😉
There’s a reason Count Dracula emigrated to England! He ended up writing liberal economics theory, in the hope of re-establishing Habsburg supremacy in the Ostland.
There is a big difference between the British elite and the ordinary Briton. I would not say the ordinary Brit supports any of this. Rather they have always pushed the empire to take better positions.

Augustin Louis de Ximénès, a French-Spanish playwright who wrote it in a poem entitled “L’Ère des Français”, published in 1793:
Attaquons dans ses eaux la perfide Albion.
Let us attack perfidious Albion in her waters.
Occasionally watch the UK press on YT, it’s all delusional talking about the Russians being wiped out and the Ukrainian victories with the mother of all counteroffensives about to start. The comments section there for their confirmation bias enthusiastically agree.
The UK still clings to some fairytale that they are a military power, AUKUS of course comes to mind, so powerful they can also project into the Pacific. In WW2 when they were far stronger they couldn’t do it then, only the US entering that theatre turned things around.
Sadly Australia too seems to also have UK fever but even worse, the nutters there actually think they are going to teach the “bully” China a lesson in comeuppance.
In the UK, nobody outside the Westminster bubble, the MSM or mental hospitals believes any of this. Don’t make the mistake of allowing them to gaslight you.
By they way, the Yanks always arrive late, and it was the Russians that did the heavy lifting in WW2.
As for Australia, I’ll leave it to my Aussie cousins to explain what has happened there.
Australia is majority owned by the same families that own USA, UK, and EU. It is their backyard mine and farm. It was deindustrialized long ago and no significant industrialization will be permitted. That is why Australian leaders must participate in every USA imperial adventure, to reaffirm their loyalty and servitude. That is also why it still has less than 30 million people when it sits on 5% of Earth’s land surface. If Australia is to escape this trap it needs to adopt a neutral and independent foreign policy and, to do that, it will probably (regrettably) have to develop it’s own defensive nuclear shield (given how dangerous the world has become for those seeking independence from a bloc).
“… no significant industrialization will be permitted.”
Hey, whaddabout dem noocleer sub thingees dee Ozzies gonna buil?
Sarcasm aside, this is a big topic, too big for the Australian body politic to consider seriously. After WWI, the (human) cost “… to reaffirm their loyalty and servitude[.]” has been/is *relatively* light. Australia gets away with a tiny military because Uncle Sam will, assuredly(!), come to its aid (as Mummy England was supposed to but did not). Apart from buying American weapons, small numbers of troops are sent to support American imperial adventurism – those troops are kept as far as possible from American colleagues to avoid unhappy “friendly fire” incidents.
Australia is also aligned with the USA for reasons ethnic (“fear the yellow horde”), ideological (“hate commies”) & cultural (“love Taylor Swift” not to mention Dobie Gillis – see previous posts 🙂 ).
The current tension between supporting big ally USA and big trade partner China causes diplomatic distortions, hopefully not to escalate to military adventures.
Yes, armed neutrality sounds like a way out but, realistically, will not happen.
Kind regards.
I had a good laugh when they said Australia is going to buy Himars to protect itself from China

As a child, she and her sisters and mother would team up the horses and take the chuckwagon to the field to cook breakfast for the farm hands. On a wood stove. Do the same thing at lunch. Dinner at the bunkhouse. The men did not help with the horses.
Country women are tough. Damn tough. At least the earlier generations in America. The current generation is only a third as tough as my great-greats. I must admit though, it warms my heart to see a young woman driving a combine and working a field…because of them there is still hope for American women.
Obviously this guy is receiving paychecks from globalist handlers. Most pundits in that tiny island nation are nowadays foaming at their mouths seeing how Russia, China, India, Iran, N. Korea, Africa ….and now Saudi Arabia are shaping a formidable union that would bypass their once very profitable Suez-Malacca trade lines. Those in London feel more and more segregated nowadays.
Pretty close. Not only is this generation of the UK Establishment stuck in the last century, but they are clearly under the American thumb and have increasingly been so since at least the 70s. If there is a globalist component, it is of several factions inside the US with mutually overlapping aims, imo.
My great grandfather came to Canada from Britain. I grew up in 1970’s Canada watching, Monty Python, On the Buses, Fawlty Towers, Benny Hill and Are You Being Served. We had an English influence in Victoria BC with double decker buses, afternoon tea at the Empress, English sweet shoppe, Marks and Spencers with nice wool clothing and British biscuits and crisps, I appreciate a good cuppa. I know that the people in Ireland, England and Scotland are as powerless as we are in Canada under the thumb of our WEF overlords, this country at present is nothing like the Canada I grew up in. I am also an Irish and Scottish descendant. Sláinte!
…for these UK pundits, ‘..The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets’, could now be changed to …the former Empire on which the Sun Sets in just a couple of Minutes, given the width of the tiny island on the world map and how quickly the sun passes across it.
Cold. Trump supporter! Imperialistic, Russophobic and racist is British dna. The world and people are not black and white. Even in England there are good people!
US and NATO fell into their own trap? Judge Napolitano with Alastair Crooke – ex Mi6, ex EU adviser, who quotes Larry’s blog several times! And with whom the EU had never fallen into this deadly trap!

And in addition to the military pension, he also receives it from some source in Israel. He recently spent two years lobbying for the Queen to visit Israel! But it’s basically someone very ignorant beyond their profession. The text is not his!
Please leave N. Korea out of it. They’ll still be an outlier at least in the short run, even in a multipolar world.
Russia not just a gas station.
It is also:
A food station
A metals (raw and processed) station
A precious metals station
A chemicals station
A timber/lumber station
A fresh water station
A finished goods station
An advanced avionics station
An advanced education station
A cultural achievement station
Plus stuff I can’t think of right now.
Meanwhile England is circling the civilizational toilet even faster now that they’ve succumbed to the woke demons.
IMO, a lot of America’s foreign policy problems come from the UK deep state. The UK is like a small devil perched on America’s left shoulder whispering in its ear.
Britain tells the us deep state what they like to hear, and amplifies the possibilities and covers over the realities. The US seeks out what it wants to hear, and the uk performs admirably in telling it.
Nonsense. The USA is the big dog and the UK the stubby tail it wags. Or if you prefer, a catspaw or rubber stamp. The City of London, on the other hand, is a trans-national pit of vipers, just like the Vatican and DC.
perhaps not?

Spare a thought for those of us forced – by threat of imprisonment – to pay the BBC license fee. Thus funding the head of the collective west’s propaganda unit.
Don’t pay it. If you don’t watch live TV you don’t need permission from the BBC to own a TV set. The ‘enforcement officers’ are salesmen with no legal right to enter your home. If one calls, just shut the door in his face.
There’s lot of advice about this online.
I stopped watching TV in 2005 – one of my best decisions ever!
UK on left shoulder

Very accurate analogy. A devil masquerading as an angel.
How about that dustup between London and Edinburgh? India and Pakistan go at it in the country that haphazardly split them up in the first place. Gotta love the irony.
India is like europe. Dozens of independent kingdoms. To say it was some kind of whole entity is not historic..
Mughals in recent history brought a major portion under their rule but still the South and east was not in their control.
Earlier more than 1500 years back two kingdoms Maurya and Guptas brought large swaths of northern India under their control but they were very short lived on a historic time frame.
Religious upper caste hindus have forever tried to assimilate India by hook or crook they managed to get those tribals, and those they considered non hindu idol worshipers( called outcastes earlier) into their fold in early 1900 because they feared Muslims and non hindu locals would outnumber them as British india had started elections under religious electorate system. This happened in 1920 ties. It was openly discussed by the various hindu as well as secular but hindu freedom fighter for nearly a year and half. Books were written and conferences held and public rallies held for this purpose.
It is these people who successfully eliminated all public historical memory about this incident. However this is all available extensively on record.
Unbelievable. How did such an idiot ever rise to corporal in the British army?
Kemp’s rant reads more like lines from the script of that great old 1960s British TV sitcom ‘Dad’s Army’.
That must have Putin and the Russians feeling very comfortable, knowing the level of ignorant stupidity that is clearly so prevalent and so deeply entrenched in the British military and government.
And to think, just over one hundred years ago the British prided themselves that the sun never set over their empire. Now all that remains is the cretinous residue of an elite private school, interbred upper class of idiot pounces. Kemp Bojo et al.
Rule Britannia – REALLY? And now they are the mindless slaves to LGBQT rule.
“Unbelievable. How did such an idiot ever rise to corporal in the British army?”
Likely member of the secret handshake club? Just as in the American military, who you know and how willing you are to play the game…determines your promotion. Is Mark Milley or Austin truly competent? I cringe every time I hear them spew the globalist propaganda.
Agree. Watching people who are disconnected you can see their inevitable train wreck. The problem as I see is they can do an enormous amount of collateral damage. This is where I believe Russian strategy is rooted. The collapse is coming, so trying to prevent the current fools from destroying everything until they wake up or are removed.
Brits are slaves to their own sense of indispensability in the world.
🤦♂️
The entire article smels like MI6 spin. From the first to the last letter. As usual in Telegraph. This guy knows Russia as well as Lettuce. None of them are able to get from London to Moscow by car! But militarily I´ve heard him say several times on television that Ukraine cannot prevail against Russian army without Nato and US boots! Who does not forgive the departure of Afghanistan! That a Sahib like him loved to revive the British Empire! A real prick.
Brilliant piece by Alexander Dugin, on why there can be no neutral. We, as individuals and countries, are either on the side of Russia fighting for a multipolar world, or we are for Empire, its “forever wars” and hegemony, and we will be required to join the collective West in killing Russia.
https://www.sott.net/article/478902-Liberalism-is-more-Dangerous-than-Ukrainian-Nazism
“ First, we are at war with the West. The main enemy is the West. Ukrainians are not the main enemy. That is why the West is the one that really needs to be rejected…
“… We must banish the West from ourselves, otherwise we cultivate double standards: the West kills us and we bow to it… Liberalism is more dangerous than Ukrainian Nazism.
“Denazification is also necessary, but it is a consequence, not a cause; it is a symptom, not the essence of the disease.”
Yes, it is a brilliant piece, but the West starts somewhere off the West Coast of Ireland. As a Briton, I repudiate that distortion of European culture emanating from the US. Keep it, we’ve sh*thouses older than their whole country.
Ireland has always been different than the rest of Europe having suffered directly from European Imperialism in the form of British colonialism.
Europe certainly has an older culture than America. That does not change the fact that it is a collection of servile and vassal states with no autonomy in things that matter.
Bush said the same thing – you’re either for us or against us. Carl Schmitt too in the 1930s. The first thing a fascist seeks out is an enemy; he then creates a state of exception to fight that enemy.
Russia didn’t start this fight. Big difference to your stated examples of finding an external enemy to justify internal fascism.
I accept the enemy came to Russia, and I don’t expect Russia to be so dogmatic as to keep them as an enemy after the changes are rung in Washington and London. Just reacting to the description of Dugin’s view, assuming it reflects what he says.
It isn’t just the Telegraph. The Times and other UK media have been pumping out misinformation about the Russians for all of the past year. The extent to which the Brits are stuck in an echo chamber of misinformation and self delusion baffles me. Regular Ministry of Defense assessments deny all reasonable understanding of what is actually happening on the ground.
One thing they are definitely leaders in is deception. MI6 seems to be at the centre of most west-sponsored false flag atrocities. The White Helmets are theirs.
To me it smacks of a cognitive dissonance that comes from denial of how far British power has fallen, that and a fundamental Russophobia that has existed since the Crimean War, though my sources in Eastern Europe say that they still have influence.
Some suggest that it is from a hatred emanating from the Bolshevik murder of the Royal family’s Russian cousins. No-one does arrogant conceit better than the Brits. Once upon a time it had some foundation in fact. Their empire was impressive and so was their administration of it. No longer, now they are just a third rate power struggling to remain a ‘United’ Kingdom..
The UK’s Russia Psyop has been going on for years.
Look into the Salisbury Novichock “poisonings” and you will soon discover the MSM narrative is utter codswallop!
“ UK media have been pumping out misinformation about the Russians for all of the past year”
Not just the past year. This goes back many years to building the “Putin is a thug” meme.
It includes the ridiculous Skripal poisoning, the murderous flight MH17 shoot-down, Russia-gate, etc.
I think what really pissed the West off was Putin stepping in to prevent regime change in Syria, and calling out their false flag / fake gas attacks.
In reality, the Collective West never grew past the Cold War. Their worldview of remains locked in post-WW2 twentieth century thinking They frequently use Russia and USSR interchangeably and think Russia is totalitarianism and communist rather than a democratic, capitalist country with its own bureaucracy, orthodox traditions and institutions.
I used to think that the monetary policy under the credit system was not linked to too many substances, until I discovered what is called “petrodollar”.
You can look at the so-called “Russia is a gas station run by the mafia” in this way.
The United States has the world’s largest “gas station” network in the past half century, but it does not establish this fact by actually owning half of the gas stations, but absorbs the benefits generated by the gas stations by providing “protection” to the gas stations.
Conclusion: Even if Russia is so poor that it only has gas stations, that is what it works hard for. Instead of doing immoral evil deeds like the United States by collecting protection fees.
There is a common saying in the UK military about the US military. “All the gear and no idea”.
The think the US rejoinder might be, “No gear, no idea and not many soldiers either”.
Comparison of UK v Russian military strengths (1st web site I found)
https://www.globalfirepower.com/countries-comparison-detail.php?country1=united-kingdom&country2=russia
The British have a steady supply of Gurkhas and Fijians etc to slaughter first. Plus a new Sikh regiment. Their proxies are actually in their army.
UK military about the US military. “All the gear and no idea”.
Texans call that ‘all hat and no cattle’.
That said, the world could do without more of the UK’s ideas, thank you.
BTW: You know, this entire conflict is a direct line culmination of two decades of this ‘rules-based bullshit’ that started back with NATO’s war in Yugoslavia, ostensibly over Kosovo but we all knew the endgame, to balkanize the region into manageable NATO candidates, and setting its nasty precedents in stone. Another thing the world can thank you Brits for when Tony Blair sweet talked Clinton, then subsequently ordered by his wife-creature to issue an ‘abandon all hope ye international lawyers who enter here’ order. ‘We’ll create our own rule book and no one will notice’, said they. Then poor Bush league came along, so impressed with Blair’s ability to string two sentences together with flair, that he mistook it for intelligence and hitched his wagon to the verbose jackass. Yep, that all worked out REAL well, you international rogues – didn’t it?
So, save us your non mea culpas, Brits. Accountability begins at home. Try it sometime. And try staying home for a change. You’ll be colder and hungrier but ultimately safer in the end.
So Americans have no agency if their own? They just swoon and hump the leg of those with an English accent?
Blair is a pariah in the UK. But hump away.
Of course we do. We’re in the same leaky boat, bashing each other over the head with our bilge buckets as we bail in arrhythmic cadence and call it civilization.
OK, I got a bit carried away. It’s the times…..they are a-changin’.

Anyway, and despite the multitude of fifth columns in his government, including several PT members, Lula is diligently moving towards China and Russia.
That’s what happens when you shitpost when drunk. My bad! 🤣
Kemp has been the neocon’s British Army spokesman for decades.
He is the man who hailed the IDF as “the most moral army in the world”, and has been wheeled out on TV/radio to provide “balance” whenever Israel has been accused of war crimes.
He was the go-to pundit for the terror campaign against the Syrian Arab Republic, and is a daily mouthpiece on UK media for the Banderites.
There is no more discredited neocon windbag in England than Colonel Richard Kemp!
Boy was Andy Warhol off the mark with his 15 minutes.
It is the age we live in that allows us to pass judgement on a mans life by what is a few megabytes of data taken as a burst transmission on the other side of the globe.
The likes of Mr Kemp, Milley and the many others that get to the doors of power are not stupid or dumb.
At some point the Military pantomime becomes the political circus and the game goes on.
They know what they have to say, truth and detail are optional to projection.
We may not agree with them and often we know damn well they are telling porkies, they know it too!
However we should not confuse this social media theatre of a tweet or a sound bite to be enough to judge a person and the life they have lived.
We risk viewing the Serengeti by looking through the keyhole.
Is Mr Kemp talking Bollocks? Yes in this case he is but he is not stupid.
The British Army is in a piss poor place right now. Talking Bollocks is probably more effective than 14 Challengers.
Russia is a gas station and the US is a one-stop, round the clock brothel, crack house and pedo porn shop.
Unfortunately that’s exactly how the West sees the world. In terms of commodities and interests valuable to it.
Ballet, music, literature, largest Forrest cover on Earth, science…. history, space…
Nah. Gas station.
BTW Larry.
If you find Kemp laughable, and have a Telegraph subscription, you’ll love Con Coughlin!
The British have such a heap of bad karma coming to them that this idiot and his fellow brothers in arms will within a short time regret having come into the world. To give you an idea of how despicable a corps he represents, a few years ago, speaking to a person I knew in my country’s special forces, I asked him about Afghanistan where he had served several tours. He went on to describe some events there an pointed out that by far, the British troops in Afghanistan were the cruelest and most prone to committing war atrocities than any of the other coalition partners. I replied, “worse than the Americans?” “Yes, a lot worse.” I rest my case.
I think he’s got it backwards. Russia is a country masquerading as a gas station and those idiots fell for it.
Russia is not only lucky to have a smart leader at this time, it is also lucky in having stupid opponents. In the EU and England the types of Richard Kemp are unbelievably many in media and politics.
Larry:
Continuous and deliberate misinformation from western media, politicians and military – about Russia hanging on the ropes, serves as the fundament for False Flag operations, where Russia is to be blamed for some “criminal” act.
I do not for a second believe that they believe in their own messaging.
This “fact” would also make the work of the arrested WSJ-journalist important (provided he could get his observations out into the public domain – which I doubt).
As an ex member of the UK armed services I can with 100% confirm
This guy is a fraud. I left the Air Force 10 years ago simply after 23 years service I could not accept policy change from those above. I like many left due to the seniors making incredible stupid calls. At the time I was not a critical thinker at least not how I study things now. There is serious recruitment issues within the Uk armed forces , all the good guys leave basically and your left with the crap. The majority of troops are good people it’s those they send through Sandhurst \cranwell etc that are the downfall of a good military destroyed from the inside.
That is just the logic consequence of leftist strategy: First they fought against patriotism, and now nobody wants to defend the country. Who could have known that….?
Not everyone here in the U.K. thinks like this clown but alas too many people lap it all up. Propaganda works. Unfortunately.
People also hate mirrors. The British Army’s lamentable performance in Iraq and Afghanistan gets forgotten. The British counter insurgency doctrines that clowns like Kemp no doubt were so proud of did not work. It also took for ever to get decent kit to the troops. My recollection is that it took years to replace the useless Snatch Land Rovers that kept getting blown up by IEDs.
These guys cannot win a real war that they fought themselves so they try to win instead a PR war in which other people are dying. Ultimately, these British officers are immoral.
Russia gave the West a war they didn’t expect, and the West has yet to come to grips with the war they got. In fact, I doubt they know what they got. They expected a full-on frontal attack on the “Maginot Line 2.0” they built across the border with Donbas, which would cost the Russians enormous casualties but leave UA’s population and infrastructure largely intact after a few months of fighting.
From there, a partisan-guerilla type war would arise on the Ukrainian territories now held by Russia while the sanctions destroyed the Russian economy and the political operators dialled up their activity to foster either a palace coup or even a Maidan in Moscow.
In the event, Russia’s opening gambit was 4 different wars on 4 disparate fronts and an air campaign NATO didn’t see coming.
That war solidified the land bridge to Crimea, stabilized the “Maginot Line”, and destroyed the AFU as organized fighting force in about 60 days. Its air force and navy were gone, along with its command & control infrastructure.
NATO then doubled down for the long haul and started pouring in personnel and any Soviet era materiel it could find. When that was depleted, Russia switched gears and settled in for yet another war NATO didn’t expect.
Starting late autumn/early winter, the war in which the West found themselves fighting moved at a pace set by Russia, at the places Russia chose, while its economy-of-force strategy ensured that its overall combat power and war readiness steadily increased while NATO’s steadily decreased.
The SMO has been disparaged as the Slow Motion Operation, but that pace has allowed Russia to test and fine tune a generation of new weapons under combat conditions, rotate in large numbers of troops to give them real combat experience, to turn its friends into allies while turning neutrals into friends and finally to ramp up its production of war materiel to wartime levels.
All of that happened while Russia’s economy hasn’t missed a beat and the Putin “regime” is more popular than ever. The West can’t come to grips with either of those two either.
NATO doesn’t understand this kind of war, and the West’s politicians and economists don’t understand Russia’s politics or economics either. They’re seeing these things for the first time in their lives. When everything they’ve internalized over their lives and careers is turning out to be wrong, their whole being recoils and disavows the facts. “That’s impossible!”, and so it remains until finally and irrevocably it isn’t. Most people will deny the facts before they deny their lifelong beliefs. Many never do.
As usual, a comment with a deep understanding of the situation.
I just couldn’t help but react, because the comment will be buried under a pile of messages.
Thank you HMS Terror!
Thanks for your very kind reading of my post.
Speaking of reality denial, Orban says that the EU/NATO are seriously considering sending “peacekeepers” to UA. I guess they’re counting on the Russians having retained sufficient affection for Europe to stop them short of killing “real” Europeans.
@HMS Terror
I would like to point out one circumstance: since Putin came to power, the Russian government has demonstrated the ability to act unpredictably for the general public in the moment, but expected in the future and in retrospect.
Such bright fateful unpredictable moments were, for example, the arrest of Khodorkovsky, the reaction to Georgia’s attack on South Ossetia on August 8, 2008, the start of a special operation … Everyone understood that things were moving towards an inevitable armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine, nevertheless, the events of February 24 were shock to everyone.
I cannot know exactly how the Government will react to the idea of bringing in peacekeepers, but I can definitely say that in historical retrospect, there is no reason for the Russians to maintain “enough attachment to Europe to stop them from killing ‘real’ Europeans.” (By the word “attachment” you apparently meant “fear, fear.” Or “love and respect”?)
On the contrary, the Russian military takes more pleasure in killing the legions of foreign mercenaries (British, Poles, and others) in Ukraine than the actual Ukrainian conscripts. If a large number of Germans appear among the Ukrainian mercenaries, then the Russians will respond to the Germans with all the hatred that has accumulated in the subconscious at the gene level. There will be no mercy.
The same applies to “peacekeepers”. Everyone understands that the introduction of peacekeepers is an insidious attempt to legitimize mercenaries from “real” Europeans who have been fighting in the Donbas since last spring.
The word I actually used was “affection” rather than “attachment”, and I used the word in its widest sense.
Russia has found Europe attractive since at least Peter the Great. Putin himself spoke of “a common European home” and Moscow made a lot of effort to be accepted as a European nation during the 2000s. Indeed, from Moscow westwards many Russians consider(ed) themselves European, including my half dozen Russian friends. That is changing. They’re recognizing that Europe has burned the bridge.
My point was that in sending “peacekeepers”, the Euro-weenies seem to be counting on that historical “affection” to stay Russia’s hand and avoid wiping them out. That was then and this is now, but the notion that they’re no longer a attractive to Russians (or to almost anyone else) has not yet entered their heads.
We’ll see, but Moscow should make it clear that only the UN can send “peacekeepers” and all others will be targeted as invaders/combatants. And I don’t mean Medvedev’s social media pronouncements, but through official channels, including military channels. I’d be surprised if any “peacekeepers” showed up after that, but woe be to them if they do.
HMS Terror, our views on this matter are the same. Thank you!
I second that, spot on!
“Col” Kemp is actually worse than the assessment given above. A few years ago Kemp was trotted out by zionist organisations in the UK to justify Israeli brutality against Palestinians. He demonised Palestinians and he sang the praises of the Israeli Wehrmacht. He’s a disgraceful individual.
Yes, sure, the land of Chebyshev, Lomonosov, Pushkin, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Lenin, Tolstoy, Bulgakov, Gagarin etc. is a “gas station with nuclear weapons”.
These ignorant clowns truly are a living personification of the Dunning-Kruger effect if I ever saw one…
It is difficult to find out the real situation in a place thousand kilometres away, but there must be something wrong when whenever you hear something about Russia from the UK, it is bad news about Russia. The UK never ever will bring something good from Russia. And this must make you suspicious.
Concerning the UK army: How many policemen do they have? Should not the police do the job of defense their land?
Most British police are not armed.
It’s not like semi military US police.
Not sure that is true any more. N Ireland police are armed but so are many in London with concealed weapons. I have even encountered an armed officer in a plain wrapper car getting out at traffic lights to tell me I was following him too closely…………his shoulder holster was clear
Sometimes I do wonder in UK if “armed police” are not simply SAS in police outfits

I do not consider the officers of Britain, the USA and other countries to be idiots. If an officer says something to the media, it means that he is pursuing some goal. The goals of this Briton may be different,
most likely – to convince the European “allies” that
that Russia is weak and that in order to finally defeat her,
it is necessary to surrender the maximum number of weapons available in Europe.
They convince the EU that Europe does not need weapons. Weak defenseless EU-that’s the interest of the British.
The demonization of Russia and Putin + the imposition of a sense of security are tools for “fucking” Europeans.
I do not consider the officers of Britain, the USA and other countries to be idiots
I do !
Idiots? Maybe not but I think that fools, tools, bought, owned, and puppets are appropriate words.
Is he projecting something for the Empire or the Globalist? Most likely but, perhaps he has found a way to monetize his lackluster career and is taking advantage of the willingness of the “owned” press to make a bit of money? Perhaps the press is giving him his talking points?
Pre-WW2 Officers were put on half-pay during peace-time. It is a feature of peace-time soldiering in Britain that the Officers are usually private (ie “Public School”) and Other Ranks are State School educated. No-one goes into military in peacetime Britain if they have better options.
I recall a certain person who rose to the very top of the British Army and whose opinions are treated with more respect than is his due by the MSM – he was a very weak student, I think he got a Third but he strutted around in his uniform as a sponsored undergraduate. His entire career has been in a military attending conferences, attached to staff, working largely as a civil servant with military rank.
Kemp is as useless as Wallace as useless as Heappey – all substandard.
Britain is not the military power it was in 1991 let alone 1978. It has neither the demographics nor the homogeneity to ensure it could be. It is a much poorer country than it believes itself to be. It has copied the USA for 40 years and ended up with the same food banks, slum cities, underclass, drug culture, and fat soldiers who need drug-testing daily…….and a politico-media class that fails to be drug tested regularly.
Bundeswehr in Germany is shambolic too – more recruits drop out during first 6 months – more quit than join. …….and maybe more men quit than join……..it is demoralised and German demography is revealed in ads everywhere for “Nachwuchs” or “Trainees”. NOONE can recruit…….the birth rate collapsed after Anschluss with GDR in 1990 and mass-unemployment.
A large component of effective combat strength in Germany is Russian-speaking – Russlanddeutsche – and they are not aligned with US-Berlin regime orientations.
You bring it to the point. The leftists fought rightwing all the time. Now they fight also against Russia. So, no one is now on their side any more. The leftists were usually either pacifist or to lazy to join military. The rightwing will not fight for them. The Russians now despise everything left.
The leftists are alone now. They can’t fight and nobody wants to fight for them.
The only option they have is to ask uncle Sam for nukes.
Boy this is awful, I have to disagree with Larry two days in a row. I have to defend my beloved Colonel Klink. Colonel Klink was much smarter than this idiot Kemp. Not even close. Klink knew full well what was going on at the Russian front in WWII and was terrified of going there. This Kemp fool, to quote Sargent Schultz, “knows nothing, nothing”.
Hogan’s Heroes:
Colonel Klink [German-Jew surname]
Sargent Shultz [German-Jew surname]
Funny that Hollywood should choose Jew names for the Germans.
Don’t be a dumbass. John Banner, the actor who played Sgt. Shultz, was a Jew who lost many family members in the Holocaust.
On January 17, 1945, the Nazis evacuated Auschwitz.
According to Danuta Czech, who wrote “Auschwitz Kalendarium,” the total count from the last roll call on January 17, 1945 was 67,012 prisoners in all three Auschwitz camps.
The Nazis gave the 67,012 “witnesses to genocide” the choice of walking about 50 kms to the nearest operating train station where they were put on trains and taken to camps in Germany, where most of them became “Holocaust survivors”, or staying at Auschwitz to await the Soviets.
There were also 7,650 prisoners in the camp hospital at Monowitz. The Nazis left these 7,650 “witnesses to genocide” at Auschwitz to await the Soviets.
Elie Wiesel states in his book “Night” that when the Nazis evacuated Auschwitz, he was given the option of staying at the hospital to await the Soviets, or joining the evacuation with the mass-murdering Nazis.
Elie Wiesel chose to leave with the mass-murdering Nazis, taking his sick father with him. His father died before reaching the train station.
In his book “Night” he states: The choice was in our hands. For once we could decide our fate for ourselves. We could both stay in the hospital, where I could, thanks to my doctor, get him (his father) entered as a patient or nurse. Or else we could follow the others. “Well, what shall we do, father?” He was silent. “Let’s be evacuated with the others,” I said to him.
Another Jew, Primo Levi, has stated that prisoners were given the choice of whether to stay or leave. In his book “Survival in Auschwitz,” he states;
It was not a question of reasoning: I would probably also have followed the instinct of the flock (the evacuees) if I had not felt so weak: fear is supremely contagious, and its immediate reaction is to make one try to run away (with the mass-murdering Nazis).
Levi states that from his camp 800 chose to remain in Auschwitz, and some 20,000 chose to go with the mass-murdering Nazis. 800 more “witnesses to genocide”.
Otto Frank, the father of Anne Frank, was being treated for typhus in the camp hospital at this time. He too, has stated that prisoners were given the choice of whether to stay in the camp, or join the evacuation. Otto was too sick to leave. Otto Frank, another “witnesses to genocide”, also became a “Holocaust survivor”.
And your point is what?
The calculus of short term thinking describes an arc circling the drain.
He doesn’t seem that much different from Wallace, Baerbock or Cruz. I think globally we’ve hit the proverbial scripture:
“The lie becomes the truth and the truth becomes a lie” .
These people sincerely believe every word they say.
Since the COV19 and yes before, we’re at an accelerated “separation of the wheat & the tares”.
I passed “exasperation” with these liars during Bush/Obama years.
I’ve now moved on to a dismissal mode of current lunacy. Like everyone here, who has a love for the truth, we’ll continue to expose these machinations. Thank you Larry for your part in this, & your work & time.
Patriotism is the safer, better-paying refuge for journalists, even when they risk indictments for being scoundrels — like Evan Gershkovich, the first Moscow Times reporter since Catherine Belton to be recognized in Russia for what he has been doing.
Looked at closely, the evidence of espionage against Gershkovich turns out to be much more than a bark up the wrong tree, as Washington officials claim, and Russian government statements deny.In Russian this evidence is already appearing in print from Gershkovich’s friends and contacts. It has yet to be recognized in the US media.

Russian media put heavy emphasys on depicting the brutality agains the Russians in Donbass, but also the “alleged” warcrimes of AFU.
The thousands evacuated from Donbass in and since February 2022 and dispersed throught the Russian Federation just add credibility to it with first hand experience.
No wonder Medvedyev and Kadirov are playing the “bad cops” – the general population mostly criticizes Putin for going TOO SOFT, against the NATO and Ukraine.
Any and all area under Russian controll – even mostly Ukrainen in ethnicity – will rather quickly shift from Russophobia to rabid hatred to “Murica”.
Speaking of the alleged 700k dissidents – about 8 MILLION people joined the Russian Federation with the (yet partially) occupied oblasts… Russia can take this for a while, can’t it?
Plus the 700.000 dissidents is also a number to be taken with some salt, as many “liberals” fled to Georgia – and now they are fleeing back to Russia with double the speed.
I understand the plight of Russia and i fully grasp the deep meanness of western masters. I m starting to turn horrified, the above description is too vivid to accept as a fact of life.
XI make one further effort to give it a halt.
No, not another turn and scrap of the wall calendar.
Herr Kemp is both a fool and a tool. When a 26 year British officers only accolade is 5 months in Afghanistan, he has not much hero status to push onto others. I think the best and most telling situation of the British Army is this…
“If we deployed the British Army to the University of Alabama’s football stadium, there would still be 27,077 empty seats.”
That is a stunning revelation as to the size and uselessness of the British Army. They are more of a territorial defence force than an force to be projected onto the world. I suspect The Alabama National Guard and the armed population of Alabama would take maybe a week longer than the Russians to rout the British Army from the Alabama.
The Crimson Tide would roll right over those funny talking invaders. British survivors would be force to eat grits, greens and fatback.
I hope this wall of text somehow helps others as i have in turn been helped by others, to try and make at least some sense of this world turned upside down. I say none of this lightly. Time is growing short, much is in motion, some lunatics are in control, they jeopordise the entire earth with their madness, the insanity of nuclear brinkmanship. But everything is local. And its past time us good folks stand inunity in solidarity, they can not beat us when we are united in common cause. Here is “Word” from a part of this country little heard from or about. As if we all do not exist. Funny that, how us good folks are past irrelevant, we have ceased to exist, here in that place called fly over nation.
Mu screed begins here because it is all relevant. Everything is connected. There are no natural unconnected events now. What is afoot, hard to say but that foot is part of something really nasty.
The US and British military’s have been used as terror and reprisal instruments in service of unaccountable lunatics who see themselves as special, somehow overlords of the entire earth and crime bosses of a global spanning organized criminal operation. And Ukraine was transformed into their private terror and reprisal army, to be used as armed eviction specialists and legbreakers, in batallion and regiment size with small operational cells for special operations across the world. The fact most Ukrainian’s in appearence and social behavior, with essential clandestine training, easily infiltrate white western countries setting up in small town and rural “acclimation cells”. In fact in WV and other Appalachian states, there where entire clans of these acclimation cells, moved from Ukraine taking their wives and children with them, many set up on isolated land lots and farms. They quickly develop contacts with local drug operations, child trafficking, and begin intense surveillance operations of the local citizenry, creating detailed files of each communities inhabitants. Who they report to is questionable, local rumors point towards federal employed agents who are also sent to these chosen rural areas, for their own form of rural and small town ackimation training, while also acting as local leasion-command and control between these rural acclimation cells of Ukrainians. Whi these federal agents work for is generaly unknown, but it is suspected they are part of a federal executive group who under executive government guidelines operate entirely unaccountable to Constitutional and federal/state jurispudence, a kind of government behind a government organization, also known as the deep state, but these are nuts and bolts ground operations, whose purpose, among many, to surveil and document local civillians in these towns and rural areas as these are areas of the US considered a source and threat of armed uprising against the state, sources of white supremecists, radical Christian groups, and last but not least, for securing “The Unsecured Spaces” the globalists, under Agenda 21 directives, consider highly valuable as they are areas where vast natural resources from Timber, coal, natural gas, and pristine unpolluted water sources.
The reason for using Ukrainia operatives is many fold, foremost is their lack if alliegence to constitutional rule of law and being totally unconnected to local and state cultural norms, able to perform any number of criminal or moral crimes without conscience or consideration for Anerican citizens, while fitting in almost without recognition as foriegn nationals because of their white caucasion physical appearence. Basicaly these are terror and reprisal sleeper cells for globalist interests. Part of their global criminal operations.
Within short order of setting up operational cells they quickly establish lical child trafficking, thru bringing in in relative terms quite large cash payments for desirable babies and young children, one technique is to hook local teenage girls on meth/fentanyl cocktail, and heroine, impregnate them and get them so hooked on drugs they readily give up their babies for drug money for their habits, many of these white babies and very young children are sold for $25,000 to $50,000, the more desirable blond blue eyed children upwards of $100,000 for particularly beautiful kidnapped children.
You will never hear of any of this unless you live in these small town and rural areas in the Appalachian mountains, and even then little is really known for certain as the Ukrainians and their federal command abd cintrol, alomg with local county and state law enforcement who are corrupted and link into this network, as with many organized crime keep their mouths shut tight for the classic reasons which motivate people to betray their moral, civic and constitutional duties.
It is notable back in November, 2021, week before the Thanksgiving holiday, a recall back to Ukraine was given in an all hands on deck, in preperation for the Russian’s entering the Donbas Arc in February, 2022. It is locally known a small contingent of stay behinds maintain a very low level operational presense, for the return of these cells. It must be noted many will never return as they are killed and grieviously wounded in the Donbas conflict. It remains to be seen what of any replaces the Ukrainian operatives. All this is from word of mouth and local talk between rural and small town people, some may be speculation or questionable sourced, but in these remote hills and hollows the “hillbilly grapevine” is quite reliable and accurate form of local communication.
Something to think about as our great republic is infiltrated and converged by global criminal elements the west is in general is experiencing. What goes on in suburbia and urban enclaves I have no idea of, but it is clear in WV these cells where up to no good, the illicit drug scene and many felonious activities where reaching pandemic levels where once for generations peace and serenity was maintained, the sudden decrease in these undesirable cultural conditions leave an unmistakable pattern in details somebody and some thing had it in for the lical population and by cinsequence, at least for the present, Mr Putin and his warriors very well may have saved more than the rual and small town good folks along the Donbas Arc, who in many respects live a culture not unlike Appalachia, being predominately culturally White Christian family and small community orientated folks, who work in agriculture, mining and extractive industry, and sustainable timber operations. Areas with vast natural resources which are the target of the globalist elite criminal cartels. Only have to do basic due diligence research to find the awful truths of what the client regime crime gang running Ukraine since the Maiden in 2014, even years earlier in some respects, have done to the Ukraine, divvying the country up for its emmence natural resources, its vast agricultural steppes, particularly the “black earth” areas with soil so rich it is farmed mostly artificial fertilizer free, making it a highly lucrative agricultural lands, divvying up this rich beautiful arc from the Crimea to northern steppes, selling it right out from under the indigenous population, and this here last is one of the purpises of theUkrainian military complex, a literal regiment factory for the globalist criminal elites, and why this conflict is being “fought to the last Ukrainian”, its no turn of a politizised ohrase, it is the truth, you got to lusten to these elites when they speak, they always project their motives and agendas, to the last Ukrainian, yeah, literally, its globo=clown world cleansing, genocide, and the Ukie Army was bred as its own private terror and reprisal – cleansing army.
I know much of this is hard to believe and I am a basic simple regular joe, but when you see these things happening around you and begin to put 2+2 together, not just what ties together but what you see can not be unseen. There is some really bad stuff going on behind our backs in this country, stuff that is all but incomprehensible to us as basic law honoring moral Christian orientated good folks. And I see what is happened to the Donbas Arc, along with Ukraine as a whole, and I see America with its vast lands, resources beyond imagination still untapped, its natural beauty and its geographical isolation because of the oceans on each end, protecting it from foriegn military invasion, its correlation, and cautionary to critically examine the west today and ehat isbeing done to us good folks, by evil incarnate which operates along the fringes of the shadows, something really dark lurks, it is unseen unknown but its evil works are abounding as iy appears anend game is quickly approaching, and that Mr. Putin and his fellow compatriots just may have saved the world from this darkness and evil. Even far away here in America, the repercussions and consequences of destroying that terror and reprisal army is manifest. Lets see where things are heading is like hang on folks, some really bad stuff is about to happen and none of us, by design by incredible malice, know what rrally is going on, only theres some truly bad actors up to no good and they mean to rule everything.
I hope this wall of text somehow helps others as i jave been helped by others, to tru and make at lest some sense of this workd turned upside down. God Bless us all, Amen.
It’s the “700 thousand men who fled Russia” quote that cracks me up, when all land, sea and air links to and from Russia were blocked by Europe and the USA. That’s about the true number of serving Russian forces added to the mobilised troops operating in the SMO regions.
Perfidious Albion has always ran the same script, lie, cheat and get others to do the fighting. When they can’t get anyone to fight for them, surrender or flee, like Singapore and Dunkirk.
It would take whole of the British Army to hold Bakhmut and surrounding area. The real question is, how long would they be able to hold it, before they are eventually defeated by a private military company and local militias.
Something along the discussion of isolation of the US due to its illegal policies and the dump the dollar consequences of Russia.
In 2019 Russian trade with US was $24B.
https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/europe-middle-east/russia-and-eurasia/russia
In 2021 Russia, further reducing trade with the US, did only $7.05B.
https://oec.world/en/profile/bilateral-country/rus/partner/usa#:~:text=Trade%20In%20January%202022%2C%20the,Crude%20Petroleum%20(%2417.2M).
To be sure, the USA is considered a rogue state by the Global South and given the decline of the US dollar as it loses reserve status (as defined by the above) and the BRICS+ policies on dumping dollars, how does the US survive its own behaviors. Does it become like a desperate homeless person searching for countries it can still mug?
Here is a good article from Sputnik concerning the fall of the U.S. dollar as reserve currency, and the increase trade in national currencies between Russia and other countries. Of interest are the regional organizations such as ASEAN which in 2022 agreed to settle cross-border financial transactions with their own system. In short, the Western backed SWIFT, due to Western theft of Russian sovereign reserves, is being avoided, which means less use of the petrodollar and its intermediaries. This means the U.S. dollar will soon be of value, and not much value, to only America, Canada and Western Europe.
But I am willing to bet some of those Euro countries will start trading in Yuan and other currencies as the American petrodollar begins to falter. Watch Australia as when the Asian / ASEAN trade grows in Yuan and other regional currencies, Australia will move much of its financial cross-border settlements to the regional systems.
https://sputniknews.com/20230331/not-by-yuan-alone-whole-set-of-national-currencies-to-deep-six-us-dollar-dominance–1109012015.html
However, France has already finalised a transaction with China in Yuan. This is interesting as Macron has stated that China is the only country that could possible broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
https://www.rt.com/news/573980-france-china-ukraine-peace/
Money talks and France walks. Of course, France has always played both ends against the middle…that is France.
The USD is failing rather quickly now and has fallen south of the critical 103 line.
I should also have mentioned that Russian trade with the US is now well under a billion dollars.
BRICS is moving toward a commodities based monetary system on its way back to a gold standard that will end up global minus participation by the West. Washington globalists want to maintain a DBDC fiat system which will be unacceptable to the rest of the world. This will likely eventually force the US back to gold given the commodities money system operating in the global south will not find the US currency acceptable. The problem is that the US may not have any treasury gold left given it has been used up with supplying metal for gold price controls in the COMEX paper gold system. Fort Knox has not been audited since 1956.
Great Britain ain’t so great anymore. I hear they’re contemplating making Boy George the national bird.
And Elton John the Queen.
Since the indigenous genocide, the long Western experience of killing civilians has been maintained for centuries, but that does not constitute a true military experience. But some thinking about more of the same always presume about the weakness of the enemy.
Great piece. The arrogance/dishonesty of Colonel Richard Kemp is representative of the thinking of the UK ruling elite. Some brief history- British colonialism was responsible for at least 100 million deaths in India. In 1920, Winston Churchill directed the bombing, including the use of poison gas, against Arabs and Kurds (characterized as “uncivilized tribes”) who were resisting British control in Iraq. Churchill had a visceral hatred of Russia since the 1917 Bolshevik revolution, referring to Vladimir Lenin as “a culture of typhoid” smuggled into Russia, and Bolsheviks as ‘crocodiles’. British PM Neville Chamberlain’s policy of ‘appeasement’ of Hitler no doubt was partially a reflection of support for German fascism by the British royal family and their hatred of Russia and communism, which represented a potential threat to their wealth and power. It appears that factions within the UK ruling elite are living in a time-warp, still under the impression that it is 1922, height of the British empire. Many of the British elite, including ‘patriotic’ individuals such as former PM David Cameron and MPs have off-shore bank accounts in Panama, Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory, etc. to avoid paying taxes. Indeed, London has the dubious distinction of being the ‘money laundering’ capital of the world. The pathetic state of ‘democracy’ in the UK is vividly seen with buffoons like Boris Johnson (helped scuttle Ukraine peace deal) and Liz Truss (‘it’s done’) serving as PM.

Kemp demonstrates the old world is gone. He plagiarizes the victory of the DPN LPN forces, Wagner, the Russia army as though it was his own troops. There have been so many of these victories that they can’t remember them all. He can’t cite any real ones so he doesn’t. His country isn’t even in the war is it? Well, is it?
These mouthpieces are still looking for examples of victories that they can claim for their own. So far, they have taken everything done by Eastern forces, and pretended that it was done by President U. Kranium for the glory of the little people. There hasn’t been a victory by the 404 gang and it must be pretty upsetting.
Go long depends.

The Western blogosphere whines about an arrested American journalist and then celebrates a Russian journalist’s death in a terror attack in St. Petersburg.
That’s Western values at its finest.
I wish Putin would upgrade the war from a special military operation to a war on terror. And then start wiping out decision centers.
Colonel (Kemp) Blimp, the archetypical British soldier, confident and brave, never doubting his armies superior capabilities. Telling his troops that Fuzzy Wuzzies don’t like cold steel, that Japs can’t see in the dark. Marching ever on to disaster. Seems NATO has plenty of Kemps.
Larry, Is this delusional or did it really happen? Can’t trust western media obviously, but even the blind pig finds an acorn now and then.

It is bollocks.
Russia uses “penicillin” which relies on seismic and acoustic inputs for counterbattery fire. There is zero electromagnetic emmissivity, and the units cannot be detected. It works really well.
Sadly, it is an awful truth that anything coming from the British is wishful fantasy and nothing else.
USA is tracking Russian counter battery radars, among other things. In this article you can even see example of coordintes for Zoopark systems:

Destroying some of them seems plausible. Russian military likely having a “limited number” of them is 100% true, because no army
have unlimited number of anything. How many do they have, no one knows but Russians.
Russian military commander Vladlen Tatarsky assassinated in St Petersburg.
Reportedly by a gift given to him.
Vladlen Tatarsky is just a blogger. But not a military leader.
At the same time, the blogger is very scandalous, he had many complaints about the falsity of his messages and dishonesty when spending money collected from ordinary Russians to help the army.
Most likely, this is not a political murder, but a criminal showdown between their own accomplices.
Vladlen Tatarsky (Maxim Fomin) is from Makeevka (DPR), has a criminal past. According to rumors, he was convicted of bank robbery in 2011.
Poisonous spiders in one jar.
You can look at the epic Stupidity Factor of the West 2 ways:
IF they actually believe this kind of propaganda, then the populace of the West who are bankrolling Banderastan can sleep easy at night, knowing their tax dollars are well spent on defeating the evil Communist Russian hordes (these are the kind of people who think Russia is still Communist, and Ukraine is a democracy). Of course when they have a head-on collision on the Reality Parkway with Putin’s hate facts, the bubble will burst in epic fashion, probably what the Russians are hoping for, and the resultant Zelensky Curse will sweep away the exposed politicians and their corrupt puppet WEF Governments. So for these Globalist puppet regimes, the truth must be avoided at all costs. When Ukraine is defeated and collapses the Western MSM will simply likely not report it at all, giving them more headline space for another breathless Trump story.
OR they know they are all lying liars teling lying lies, and they do it so as to set up RUssia for the inevitable “false-flag” born out of Russia’s “desperation to salvage some sort of a win from their losses”. The problem with this strategy is it is out-dated by events now. The desired Western response after the staged “false flag”, a NATO “intervention” in Ukraine, has pretty much been moved off the list of viable alternatives by the ongoing self-de-militarization of the West. When you have very few soldiers, no tanks, no artillery, and no shells, and few jets that can actually fly, like most NATO nations now, there is no way to actually send a NATO Army to Ukraine that can defeat Russia. So it all bluster and bluff.
The greatest danger in all of this is that the neo-con war-hawks, having no reverse gears at all, and having placed all their marbles on the 1/2 sized slot on the wheel of fortune that is labelled “Ukraine VIctory!”, will resort to their only remaining option at that point, which is escalation to tactical nuclear WMD.
Having made a minor border war on the fringes of the Empire into an existential struggle where defeat is fatal for them and their corrupt crony capitalist regimes, and the very existence of the NATO/EU/American Hegemony itself – they may see no other alternative than to let the “White Doves of Nuclear Peace” fly, in hope of some sort of “win” to save the whole project.
The PLAN was to to destroy Russia and then move on China, but having now fatally tripped over their own hubris, defeating Russia is off the table, and the real winner is China, who can sit back and relax while Russia defeats all their enemies for them.
In sports, they call this an “own goal”, in the military “friendly fire”. Clearly they have never read history, or drawn any lessons from it.
Also reports Vladlen Tatarsky was a reporter.
More and more straws on the camels back.
US journalist visits alleged ‘kidnapped Ukrainian children camp’ in Moscow and accuses ICC of lying
Unlike the Yale researchers who inspired the ICC’s arrest warrant, American journalist Lofredo went to the scene and gained unrestricted access to a Russian government center in Moscow that shelters youths from the war-torn Donbass region. While it’s exactly the kind of center Yale HRL — and hence the ICC — portrays as a “re-education camp” for Ukrainian children hostage, it has opened a hotel full of happy campers receiving free classical music lessons — a “teddy bear,” as Raymond called it.
At the Donbass Express music camp near Moscow, young people told Lofredo that they were grateful to have found refuge from the Ukrainian army’s long-standing campaign that shelled and besieged their homeland. By fleeing the war in Donbas, these children escaped a nightmare military conflict for which Yale HRL and ICC showed little or no concern.

“THERE IS NO FIXING STUPID WHEN IT COMES TO WESTERN DELUSIONS”
Stupidity is one thing. It can be fixed with education.
Delusions are someting else altogether. This is a psychological disorder.
I have opined in other threads that what we are now dealing with is a cult mindset, a la Jonestown or Waco. It’s beyond mere stupidity, although there is indeed plenty of that.
We are dealing with a cabal of people who are drunk on power – power that they are now blatantly displaying with the Trump indictment, the use of the FBI, IRS and other agencies to scare anyone who dares to speak out against the weaponization of government that we got a peek at in the Twitter files, and more.
None of this happened overnight.
9/11 was the event that launched the final fascist takover of our government, with the introduction of “Homeland” Security and all that it wrought – the militarization of local police forces, the government spying on everyone, tossing anyone designated a “terrorist” into jail without trial (or just assassinating them), the establishment of NORTHCOM, and much more.
The banking crisis in 2008 and recently is all designed to create one giant bank that is a central bank in total control of all our lives.
The people in power don’t intend to give it up to any pesky outsider. Trump was an aberration that in the 60s would’ve been dealt with using a “lone gunman”. Now any opposing voices are assassinated via the total control of the mass media and social media and said weaponization of federal agencies.
The power structure, like our goosestepping friends of yesteryear, is giddy with their handiwork and think themselves invincible. Whatever they utter is reality. Objective reality means no more to them than it did to Jim Jones or David Koresh.
They are locked into their religious belief in themselves as God.
Believe me, this isn’t going to end well.
“The people in power don’t intend to give it up to any pesky outsider. ”
That excellent research outcome was understood and under constant review by some from 1968/69 onwards, and this was part of the reasons that the increasing velocity of the systemic demise of “The Soviet Union” was encouraged with the complicity of “The United States of America” in removing one support facilitating the sustainability of “The United States of America”, whilst “The United States of America” perceived that as a necessary component of extending their sustainability in addition to other hopes including but not limited to turning gold into paper and promises, thereby encouraging/facilitating/necessitating subsequent resort to attempts of “full spectrum dominance”, “the end of history” and the various self-delusions attendant on “We won the cold war.”
https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/2023/04/view-from-india.html
To some degree the perception of all are conditioned by their perceptions derived from experience in turn derived from divisions of labour particularly in framing of evaluation horizons including salient inclusions/exclusions.
Hence the following seems paradoxical to some:
“The Ukraine war, paradoxically, is turning out to be a wake-up call
— a war that can prevent another world war rather than engender one.
China understands that Russia has single-handedly taken on the “collective West” and shown it is more than a match.
This assessment in Beijing cannot escape the West’s attention and will impact the western thinking too for the medium and long term — not only for Eurasia but also the Asia-Pacific.”
as is even more the case in regard to:
“That excellent research outcome was understood and under constant review by some from 1968/69 onwards, and this was part of the reasons that the increasing velocity of the systemic demise of “The Soviet Union” was encouraged with the complicity of “The United States of America” in removing one support facilitating the sustainability of “The United States of America”, whilst “The United States of America” perceived that as a necessary component of extending their sustainability in addition to other hopes including but not limited to turning gold into paper and promises, thereby encouraging/facilitating/necessitating subsequent resort to attempts of “full spectrum dominance”, “the end of history” and the various self-delusions attendant on “We won the cold war.””, facilitating the increasing perceptions of some that:
“Moreover, Russia’s strategy incorporated from the get go a very serious economic aspect which combined West due to ignorance and incompetence couldn’t grasp. As Michael Hudson noted recently–why the 75-80% of the world needs West, which is 15-20% economically, when the rest of the world not only produces everything it needs but can issue a credit.”
which is limited in scope likely as a function of Mr. Martyanov’s experiences within divisions of labour.
Paganism was in Ireland 1st, as I understand it. As for 700k Russian men of military age leaving Russia, even 1% of them(7000) if spies, will produce ABUNDANT payoffs:) Excellent podcast @ SCF by Martin Seif about Winston Churchill. Remember Rapallo!!!
“Remember Rapallo!!!”
Thank you for your rendition of Jethro Tull’s Living in the past despite it not being an option, but a resilient hope of some.
I could pretend that it is comforting to see the boys and girls come out to play ring a ring a roses, but I won’t bother.
“THERE IS NO FIXING STUPID WHEN IT COMES TO….”
almost anything, and so you shouldn’t try.
The opponent hopes that the “status quo paradigm” is the end of history/final destination, whilst others understand that time is a lateral process of transcendence.
Hence :
There is little if any motivation in fixing/reforming stupid opponents when it comes to almost anything, since final destinations except death, (except in the hopes of believers in reformation through certainties of external forces), are never achievable in time, although stupid opponents in hope continue to wait for Godot.
Ergo “The United States of America” cannot be reformed only transcended with the complicity of others engaged/enmazed in attempts at reform/reformation.
That has been the case since 1969 when to avoid a perceived end of history precipitated by falling dominoes, “The United States of America” prepared to use the alchemy of turning products into paper and promises whilst seeking to use offshore production returns on “investments” as comfort blankets, pissing off most of the world thereby increasing the causualties, frequencies, necessities and scopes of colonial wars, thereby pissing off most of the world even more.
What’s one possible end-game for 24/7 lies?

But “Bucha”……
What I don’t understand is given the track record of the US and Britain, how do the morons at the top keep recruiting proxies, who must be incredibly stupid, to do their bidding. Is the neocon calculation to send Europeans after the Ukranians are depleted in an endless war of attrition against Russia, so that at some point when that country becomes depleted, then the UK and the US, all on their own, can go one on one against China. This line of thought concludes: Build a bomb shelter and stock it.
“What I don’t understand is given the track record of the US and Britain, how do the morons at the top keep recruiting proxies, who must be incredibly stupid, to do their bidding.”
Aspects of the reasons are predicated on a long practiced colonialist mindset including:
Dying is for other people not us because we are so important excercising leadership by imparting civilisation.
Proxies are incredibly stupid so they should be the ones to die; few people like us will miss them.
Proxies are therefore the most cost effective option when you factor in our value and their poverty/stupidity.
This was particularly evident in the Colonial Forces of “The British Empire” who constituted the majority of “British Forces” in World War Two and hence “The British” never stood alone, although The Australians did in 1942 making “The United States of America” seem the wiser choice.
The situation was slightly different during the First World War, although dulce et decorum est pro patria mori had resonance with the middling sort but did not tend to reach the higher echelons –
Mr. Kemp likely being a contemporary example of the middling sort.
In matters of self-longevity the “morons” are not morons, but in most other matters they are morons thereby rendering them complicit in their own transcendence.
As a yiddish blessing hopes:

Kemp is a prolific writer for the Telegraph, all of it in the same vein as the examples quoted.
He writes shite because he is paid to write shite.
Colonel Richard Kemp’s assessment and commentary do not warrant a response.
I will say this…when I was in Afghanistan 2012-2013 the British Army could only conduct or support operations that were within ist budget…I know that sounds kinda weird but that was the case. What would they do in a war with Russia–call a time out when their budget ran dry lol.
Regarding Russia as a “Chinese vassal”…how about Russia and China as the driving force behind the emergence of a multipolar global order. Their relationship has never been stronger–a clear indication that US foreign policy has failed to contain either.
None of us have a crystal ball so we don’t know how any of this is going to turn out…it’s not pre ordained that Russia’s SMO is going to prevail or that US/NATO is going to prevail. However, military, economic and diplomatic indicators seem to be point to the end of US hegemonic (unipolar) rule.
My money is still on Russia and a multipolar global order…if I am wrong I will be the first to admit it unlike Colonel Richard Kemp no doubt.
My money is with your projection. And it is not just about Ukraine. Which is the symptom, not the disease.
The Saud’s just cut production. Why should they pump oil to sell at low prices in inflation eroded dollars? To insane Western countries that STATE they will destroy the petroleum industry? The Saud’s are turning to China and Asia. Which are not full of daydreaming Green loons.
Every country in the world. Sanctions. Stand like a good little subservient US victim or we steal your shit. Everyone is figuring a way to get out of dollars. And to reduce trade with the insane West.
Meanwhile, in the USA the Pentagon says 77% of our children are too fat, stupid, or stoned, or crazy to be INFANTRY!
We owe $31 Trillion in debt. Currently transitioning to 5% interest. Which if it stayed would consume the entire federal budget. Which is why rates will come down, which means inflation will persist.
So yes, we ruled the world for a bit. Part from military supremacy, part from bluff, part from the world agreeing to the system. That game is over.
Yeah, oil not some mundane spy or a single war blogger should be top news today.

Western historians cast a more favorable light on the British Empire than it deserves from actual practice. This allows the modern British gov. and its retirees to do stupid and brutal things even today without being called. out. On 12/02/2022, Al Jazeera ran a story about the effects of deliberate British policies in India from 1881 – 1920.
“…we find that 165 million excess deaths occurred in India during the period from 1881 to 1920.”
The authors report: “This is among the largest policy-induced mortality crises in human history. It is larger than the combined number of deaths that occurred during all famines in the Soviet Union, Maoist China, North Korea, Pol Pot’s Cambodia, and Mengistu’s Ethiopia.”
Basically, the British starved the people of India to extract their wealth.
Since Queen Victoria ruled in 1881, that would make her the greatest mass murder in human history.

This is an interview with the Donbass military reporter just murdered in Russia. He had suggestions about strategy that west must have wanted to silence.

Military reporters don’t influence strategy in Russia. They assassinated him because he was easy target, just like Darya Dugina.
Kemp really is a complete buffoon. So too are Ben Wallace the UK’s Defence Secretary and another f*ckwit from Parliament, Tobias Elwood. They epitomise a breed of utterly useless British cretins who have risen to positions of authority without having any discernable skills or talents.
There are quite a few of them in Britain…they’re part of a breed of Colonel Blimps who sit in their chintzy front rooms waffling and guffawing and reliving historic battles as if they were Field Marshall Montgomery.
Britain is beyond help and, if reports are true of it’s troubles recruiting for the military, not worth fighting for in the eyes of young men. It’s hardly surprising because the government has a long record of encouraging youngsters to join up based on lies, demonisation of the foreigners it doesn’t like and propaganda, and then abandoning (and often prosecuting) them after they’ve done their service.
Most of us would fight to protect our families from direct attack, but few of us these days would volunteer to go and fight yet another war in a far off land which had been started by corrupt government officials and bankers.
They can f*ck right off.
“They epitomise a breed of utterly useless British cretins who have risen to positions of authority without having any discernable skills or talents.”
You are mistaken.
They have the skill and talent of being the suspension springs between the “chummery” and the hoi poloi.
Britain is mutating in desperation from a class society to a caste society.
The England of today is no longer the same as it was seventy-five years ago, nor the one we saw during the Malvinas war. The England of today is a caricature of what it once was and was at its best.

Scholz is a nonentity. He had already achieved the Revised Peter principle by becoming Oberbuergermeister of Hamburg where he was noted for dark corners of back rooms where he could cut sleazy deals with Warburg bankers costing Hamburg taxpayers hundreds of millions.
A man who became Kanzler to avoid further police raids like when he was Finance Minister……….he had the Prosecutors called back to kennels once he got into the Kanzlerbunker.
His wife is a politician in Brandeburg. They are nonentities – typical German Mediocrities

Larry, why don’t you write an article about why the Russians have not bothered to encircle Bakhmut.
Why encircle ie close the cauldron when the enemy keeps pouring troops into the fire ?
If the roads are under fire control there is nothing but MUD to move across
“Why encircle ie close the cauldron when the enemy keeps pouring troops into the fire?”
That the enemy keeps pouring troops in is just an obvious lie.
Didn’t you mean:
Hell, the current force pales in comparison to 300,000 British (and French) troops rescued by Hitler from Dunkirk 83 years ago.

Yes Hitler placed such faith in Air Power and Goering could not deliver………besides his tanks had outrun their fuel supplies and rearguard actions by French and British troops led him to fear a trap……..
Operation Dynamo is your singular obsession but what about Operation Ariel and Operation Cycle ?
Besides there were many more French troops lifted – from the other beachheads
Operation Cycle and Operation Aerial, between 10 and 25 June resulted in another 192,000 troops (British, Canadian, French, Polish and Czech) and civilians being rescued and taken to safety by the Royal Navy from ports in Brittany and western France.
And just remember…….USA declared NEUTRALITY on 2 September 1939………..and continued to do business with German Reich – Ford, Standard Oil, GM, Brown Bros Harriman, Sullivan & Cromwell (Dulles Bros.), IBM, ITT,
If not for Hitler, The British Expeditionary Force (B.E.F.) would have been completely surrounded by German forces while still deep in the interior of Flanders. They would have been completely cut off from the sea, their only means of escape. There was nothing to stop this encirclement, except Hitler. He was their last hope. So Hitler risked exposure as an enemy agent in order to save them.
Here are some quotes from “The Other Side Of The Hill.” by B. H. Liddell Hart (1948).
Page 112: The escape of the British Army from France has often been called “the miracle of Dunkirk”. For the German armoured forces had reached the Channel coast behind the back of the British Army while this was still deep in the interior of Flanders cut off from its own bases, and from the bulk of the French Army, it seemed likely also to be cut off from the sea. Those who got away have often wondered how they managed to do so. The answer is that Hitler’s intervention saved them—when nothing else could have. A sudden order from him over the telephone stopped the armoured forces just as they were in sight of Dunkirk, and held them back until the retreating British had reached the port and slipped out of their clutches.
Page 112: But although the British Army thus escaped from the trap in France, it was in no state to defend England. It had left most of its weapons behind, and the stores at home were almost empty. In the following months Britain’s small and scantily-armed forces faced the magnificently equipped army that had conquered France—with only a strip of water between them. Yet the invasion never came. At the time we believed that the repulse of the Luftwaffe in the “Battle over Britain” had saved her. That is only part of the explanation. The last part of it. The original cause, which goes deeper, is that Hitler did not want to conquer England. He took little interest in the invasion preparations, did nothing to spur them on, and cancelled at the first plausible excuse.
Page 139: On the 22nd, Boulogne was isolated by Guderian’s advance, and next day Calais. That same day Reinhardt reached the Aire-St. Omer Canal, less than twenty miles from Dunkirk—the only escape port left to the British Expeditionary Force. The German armoured forces were much nearer to it than the bulk of the British Expeditionary Force. “At that moment,” Rundstedt told me, “a sudden telephone call came from Colonel von Grieffenberg at O.K.H. [Oberkommando das Heeres; Army High Command], saying that Kleist’s forces were to halt on the line of the canal. It was the Fuhrer’s direct order—and contrary to General Halder’s view. I questioned it in a message of protest, but received a curt telegram in reply, saying: ‘The armoured divisions are to remain at medium artillery range from Dunkirk’ (a distance of eight or nine miles). ‘Permission is only granted for reconnaissance and protective movements’.” Kleist said that when he got the order it seemed to make no sense to him. “I decided to ignore it, and to push on across the Canal. My armoured cars actually entered Hazebrouck, and cut across the British lines of retreat. I heard later that the British Commander-in-Chief, Lord Gort, had been in Hazebrouck at the time. But then came a more emphatic order that I was to withdraw behind the canal. My tanks were kept halted there for three days.” Thoma, who was chief of the tank side of the General Staff, told me that he was right up forward with the leading tanks, near Bergues, where he could look into the town of Dunkirk itself. He sent back wireless messages direct to O.K.H., begging for permission to let the tanks push on. But his appeal had no effect. Referring to Hitler’s attitude, he bitingly remarked: “You can never talk to a fool. Hitler spoilt the chance of victory.”
As a reward for his outstanding success, Guderian was ordered to stop the advance, and was actually relieved of his command by General von Kleist. However, some hours later, he was reinstated by General List, and given permission to carry on “strong reconnaissance,” which Guderian interpreted as “carry on, much as before”. In this way, Hitler’s first halt order was circumvented.
Page 148: “Early on the 17th I was informed by Panzer Group Headquarters that the advance must be stopped, and that I personally was to await General von Kleist, for an interview on the airfield at 7 a.m. He arrived punctually and began straight away with grave reproaches to the effect that I had disregarded the plans of the High Command.” Guderian maintained that he was fulfilling the spirit of the plan and emphasized the danger that a halt would mean losing the initiative, but got no satisfaction. “I asked to be relieved of my post. General von Kleist was slightly taken aback, but then nodded and told me to hand over command to the next senior…. When General List arrived,… he cancelled my removal from command, and explained that the halt order came from the top, so that it had to be enforced…. and gave me permission to carry on ‘strong reconnaissance'”.
General von Kleist had this to say;
“I must say that the English managed to escape that trap in Dunkirk, which I had so carefully laid, only with the personal help of Hitler. There was a channel from Arras to Dunkirk. I had already crossed this channel and my troops occupied the heights which jutted out over Flanders. Therefore, my panzer group had complete control of Dunkirk and the area in which the British were trapped. The fact of the matter is that the English would have been unable to get into Dunkirk because I had them covered. Then Hitler personally ordered that I should withdraw my troops from these heights.” Why had Hitler ordered this? “Hitler thought it was too risky. It was nonsense; those orders of Hitler’s in those days. We could have wiped out the British army completely or taken the whole army as captive if it weren’t for the stupid order of Hitler. The proof of it is that three days later the English occupied the heights and I was obliged to attack them again to take them back. The masses of English troops, however, had already reached Dunkirk and were escaping in small boats. The sad part of it is that I could have captured the whole English army, or such a great part of it, at any rate, that an invasion of England would have been a simple affair.” From “The Nuremberg Interviews” by Leon Goldensohn and Robert Gellately.

I’ve seen the video of the battle. They’ve dragged the beaver out, as per image. After being released, he/she/it ran straight back into the trench.
This is the first battle of this conflict accurately represented on Wikipedia, and probably deleted by now.
When I read some kind of speech, given by an military from west, it makes me happy, since we will be not able to avoid the raising of countries like Russia and China in the diplomatic and military matters, making it possible a change of this evil “neoliberalist” system imposed to us by scumbags from US, EU, UK and, unfortunately, some here in my country, Brazil.
They had Sgt. Sholtz, the leader of Germany. When asked about who blew up Nord Stream I and II he said, ” I know nothing! I see nothing!”
The Telegraph has, from day one, been little more than a mouthpiece for Ukraine General Staff/UK MoD. The number of ‘expert’ analysis and OpEds that have the phrase Putin is finished has been genuinely laughable, and little more than fodder for its deranged readership, if the comments sections are anything to go by.
Kemp himself – previously worth reading – has shown tinges of realism in the past, particularly around the early weeks of the Bakhmut conflict, but of late has clearly been required to join the rest of the Telegraph’s idiotic experts and parrot NATO talking points. Likewise, you will rarely find any realist comments to counter the lunacy in the comments sections.
One thing has been true for the past year, the fewer pro-Ukraine stories there are in the Telegraph the worse the war has been going for Ukraine. Kemp – who is in the pay of Israel among others – clearly needs the money.
