thanks karl! i think the biggest facade is suggesting it is the ''democratic'' west as represented by the usa... in fact, it is the ''capitalist'' west as represented by the usa and democracy is a thin veneer, or facade to rationalize away the countless lies, and regular deception, fraud and worse that the west has imposed on others.. whether it is the british empire, of the usa one - the least concern they have is for the welfare of the planet or it's people... instead kleptocracy is on full display and there will be no interference from others in this regard...

and that my friend is why russia continues to be in the cross-hairs of the west... whether the people in the west wake up to this, or remain asleep thanks the corporate media - also in tow to the west - remains to be seen.. but your work helps to dispel all this which is a good thing!!

When I see it I cry

In the heart ache of frustration... and not just for Russia... but for the whole world...

The arrogance of colonial thinking that has destroyed the world and killed millions upon millions of people for 500 years

I'm sick to the teeth of people, even here, stating how Russia should show restraint and I'm sure many Russians are spitting feathers.

I'd have zero problem returning 3 Kinzhal missiles foe every Storm-Shadow, ATACM/other to the City/Place of Manufacture.

Much like Biden stated if Israel didn't exist they'd have to invent it or words to this effect.

When Putin asked Clinton about the possibility of Russia joining NATO, hell no, who else could replace Russia as enemy No.1?

As much as Trump has disappointed me/us I sincerely believe he doesn't suffer the same ideological baggage as the Clintons, Bidens, Cheney and for certain Jake (the snake) Sullivan, Nuland and Blinken.

Trump hides himself well most of the time. As I’ve noted however, there’s zero progress in improving relations like releasing Russia’s stolen diplomatic property from captivity or reestablishing direct flights, plus there’s still no US Ambassador in Moscow. All that inaction proves Trump’s utterances of wanting to improve relations just as false as Team Biden’s efforts. And those little things ought to have been done last February but weren’t.

I could be wrong Karl but if you have 90+Senate hyenas on your case day in day out ready to pounce on anything considered Russia friendly then you'll avoid making more rods for your back.

Trump must pay lip service to the idealogues.

Ask yourself what he's done for any country, ally or foe.

If only we were privy to the personal exchanges via Witkoff.

To be honest, I don’t think much about Trump or the problems he makes for himself. The same goes for the slimy pukes in Congress. I now have another worry: Mother-in-law faces triple bypass surgery.

Thanks. We’ll be off to Georgia and then to Alabama for the surgery, then back to Georgia for recoup. Might be away until September, but the computer travels as does the Gym.

Thanks, this bring in light the book Shock Doctrine in how the west was going to divide Russian wealth for the west and nothing for Russian citizens.

Honesty prevails.

Europe has stayed unchanged for thousands of years in its ruling militaristic way.

Any wealth gained apart from

Plunder , public funds included is still unimaginable even with our inventive culture.

However Russia had a social revolution redefining humanity up ending this uncreative military rule book .

Fun times to witness this transformation.

No, I don’t. and I’ve asked and searched. A Yandex search using Russia. Kremlin. Putin. 25 years and clicking video after the results gives the first three episodes over May 11-13, which are about 12-minutes each of a 90-minute film. Europa 24 has the 90 minutes with English subtitles, with a long disclaimer first declaring it Russian propaganda, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHNWBvc6xdc I watched the first several minutes but am annoyed at the subtitles. I scoured Yandex and what’s below is the only full-length version likely missing the 8-minutes I was able to find. Given what’s written at the opening, how well to trust the subtitling?

I suspect it might be for sale as a DVD in Russia. How Larry Johnson found the missing 8-minute video is unknown.

Yes, the entire world needs peace. The machinations--"games"--known as conflicts and wars must end. China's been pushing that message hard from the start of July, although I haven't written about that yet. I'd like to find the entire documentary. I note that Western Media is all in-line calling it propaganda. I suppose they also called Tucker Carlson's interview propaganda, although it was impossible to refute and many millions watched it. Many more Millions need to see it with voice-over translation into all major languages.
