The situation in the Ukraine isn’t nearly so complicated.
OK. I can state it in one sentence:
The longer the Russians and Ukrainians (and with any luck if Belorussians, Poles, Romanians, et al. join in) keep killing each other with the West pouring gasoline onto the fire, the easier it will be for the US (primarily) and its EU vassals to take over the whole continent of Eurasia (the long desired Lebensraum for themselves).
Correction (a typo):
and a new Iron Curtain is being raised to surround Russia (also handy in case of WWII)
It is supposed to say:
in case of WWIII
Reader,
Wikipedia gives a good interpretation of the Übermensch:
I don’t think Nietsache was talking about a “master race”. He was talking, essentially , about Schwab and Harari’s “Humanity 2.0” — not a race that exists today or ever existed; but an ideal to aspire to in the absence of the reality of God.
Hitler took Nietsche’s ideas, mixed them with some Schwemme beer from the Hofbrauhaus while listening to Wagner, mixed them in a blender and came up with a philosophy of how to rule the world. I think some whose names have appeared on Israpundit (and perhaps I as well) have done likewise.
The situation in the Ukraine isn’t nearly so complicated. The Russians have invaded Ukraine, and the Ukrainians want to kick them out.. Put that in a blender, and, Voila! A war!
@dreuveni
…there are other reasons for the continued especially US support of this war… …unusually large amounts of money being spent to hide something in Ukraine under the cover of war support.., That again is difficult to fathom.
“The West” led by the US is replaying WWII because it didn’t end the way “The West” wanted it to in 1945.
What was the aim of Germany in WWII?
It was to obtain Lebensraum (living space) for Uebermenschen (super humans/higher race(s) Germans (especially) and the rest of the Westerners) by killing or removing the majority of the Untermenschen (subhumans/lower races) and by enslaving those who remained (the lower races included, mostly, the Russians, Ukrainians, and Poles (even though the Poles were convinced otherwise)), and no Jew was supposed to be left alive (eventually).
The ostensible reason for the American and the EU support for Ukraine is to help the poor, innocent Ukrainians to defend their country from the vicious Russians who want to rob Ukraine of its territory.
What is happening in reality?
The total losses on both sides of mainly young, able-bodied males are pushing half a million at this point (Ukraine to Russia – 10 to 1), Ukraine’s population is nearly halved compared to what it was in the early 90s because of emigration (the young people are leaving and the old ones are staying), the front is a meat grinder, but the US and the EU want this to continue for as long as possible.
Why?
The American corporations are buying up land in Ukraine, the higher races don’t waste their lives like the righteous Germans did in WWII fighting the Untermenschen, and if the meat grinder lasts for a few more years, neither Ukraine nor Russia will have anyone left to fight the armies of the Uebermenschen when they show up to grab what is left or to fight the WWIII.
The European economies are tanking, the US is selling lots more of its liquefied gas to Europe, the US and the EU are dumping all their old, outdated equipment to Ukraine (the military-industrial complex is thrilled), and a new Iron Curtain is being raised to surround Russia (also handy in case of WWII).
The money being spent is a small investment compared to a possible takeover of most of the continent and then conquering China.
Sending cluster munitions and depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine serves the same purpose – to genocide the Untermenschen with the hands of those same Untermenschen.
I am wondering how DUMB the Ukrainian politicians have to be to accept these homicidal “aid packages” to use them so close to their own territory or the territory that they wish to retake.
This is a sad Story. As far as significant Ukrainuan gains are concerned, I tend to believe MacGregor, because the Russian retaliation for such gains would be nuclear. On the other hand, Russia did go into action last year due to the repeated bombing and shelling of Russian nationals in the eastern Ukraine, which has since declared independence. What is difficult to understand is why the Ukraine would so punish their own population.
From the comments below, there are some people who believe, like me, that there are other reasons for the continued especially US support of this war. There are many reports of unusually large amounts of money being spent to hide something in Ukraine under the cover of war support, so much so that European countries have offered their own defense material to buoy up Ukraine. That again is difficult to fathom.
Peloni, my wife informs me that “irregardless” is not a valid word. I used to make the same mistake as you; but now that I’m a “Grampa”, I pay attention to Grammer. 🙂
Yes these total criminals of little Zee as mascot intended to wreak havoc on the Black Sea fleet.

@Adam
There are so many people want to believe that somehow Ukraine invaded Russia despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, it is difficult to see how to get them to see the truth.
No one believes that or wants to believe that.
Some Ukrainian sites , at any rate, are honest. I am particularly impressed with the Denys Davidoff site, which reports Russian as well as Ukrainian successes as well as the losses in materiel and men by both sides, Every day, he provides updated battle maps from two different map publishing companies, which show the front lines great detail.
I am not familiar with that site but can’t imagine an honest site that would advance falsities. So what did he say that you feel was the truth. Did he say that Ukrainians have suffered over 400,000 dead soldiers compared to about 40,000 dead Russians?:
As for Macgregor, I haver watched most of his videos and firmly believes he believes what he reports. Sometime he says things based on his assumption of strategy and then he later corrects his statement because he changed his assumption.
Macgregor, Ritter, Berletic, Mecouris and Johnson all say the same things but all rely on their own analysis and are not simply mimicking the others. They do their own analysis.
Trump forced into certain situations which his enemies had well prepared for
Putin equally forced into certain situations which his enemies had well prepared for
It is the mark of scoundrels and servants of the Empire to disregard and obscure these elaborate preparations
And thereby you also politically disarm Israel.
Elon just confirmed the U.S or Ukrainian Government requested him to play a significant role in a MAJOR ESCALATION in the Ukraine war.
CNN reported that Elon deactivated his Starlink satellites in response to a covert attack the Ukrainians were planning on the Russian naval fleet. They were WRONG!
Elon clarified the satellites were NOT active, and that he was pressured by the Government to activate them so that Ukraine can attack Russian ships in a contentious territory.
“There was an emergency request from government authorities to activate Starlink all the way to Sevastopol. The obvious intent being to sink most of the Russian fleet at anchor.”
@elonmusk
refused to activate Starlink, avoiding “a major act of war and conflict escalation.”
So not only are Governments not deescalating the war, but they have also actively tried to drag a private company to play a role in ESCALATING.
I differ from Peloni re Prigozhin which I will explain later but there is truth in what he says
I have seen interview with returned Ukrainian soldiers in which starving weak condition and the bones showing through their ragged clothing, just like the survivors released from the Nazi camps at the wnd of the second world war.
Show the pictures then. Let the public verify.
A link to this valuable “information” will do just fine.
Asking for a friend…
From the article Bear cited:
morale among Russian soldiers is at rock bottom. Poorly trained and led troops risking their lives for reasons they don’t entirely understand are ripe for being routed. These miserable conscripts are also joined by tens of thousands of convicts who have been hauled out of prison to serve on the frontlines as expendable cannon fodder in which their focus is on personal survival rather than any sense of duty. Needless to say, none of these conditions helps bolster overall unit cohesion or a will to fight.
If all this were true, it would be expected that during the Prigozyn mutiny many of these poorly trained Russians with rock bottom morale, and with no understanding of that for which they are fighting, would have actually joined Prigozhin as he acted in opposition of the official Russian position. In fact, not a single element of the armed forces joined Prigozhin, nor even a single unit of the army. Furthermore, there was no public support for Prigozhyn either, no riots, no demonstrations, no rebellions, and not a single call to either join nor even support Prighzhyn’s actions from anyone outside of the West, in whose service it would seem Prighogzhin was acting since they had several weeks notice about his supposedly spontaneous act of insubordination.
If Russia is as deeply devided, its army as terribly situated, and its public so opposed to this war, surely someone somewhere would have voiced their support for the Waiter at War who put voice to their views, and yet, silence was all that took place. Not even the traffic on the streets of Moscow were affected by the fact that Prigozhin was marching to their rescue. Russia, for whatever reason you might care to describe, withstood many tests of rebellion all at once due to the mutinous actions of a war hero at the height of his popularity, and thus render such claims as are routinely voiced in the West, similar to those quoted above, as being quite nonsensical.
For those who are waiting for the Russians to march against their own govt and place themselves and their descendants back on the Rape Russia Train, as Larry well describes it, I believe you are looking at a Forever Wait.
Opinion: Ukraine strategy is working. With continued support, it will win
A slow, steady and deliberate race to the Sea of Azov will divide Russia’s army.
It’s fair to say Ukraine’s counteroffensive is moving slower than anticipated — but for good reason. We’ve all heard the saying, “Slow and steady wins the race.” In this case, Ukraine’s strategy is just that — a slow, steady and deliberate race to the Sea of Azov, where Ukrainians can divide Russia’s army and pummel the remnants into surrendering territory that has been occupied for months.
In the end, I’m confident this strategy will prove successful against a weakened and demoralized Russian force that is under extraordinary stress.
For those who are disheartened by the slow pace of the Ukrainian offensive so far, it’s pertinent to remember historical examples. Immediately after the D-Day landings during World War II, one of the most spectacularly successful military campaigns in history, Allied forces fought desperately to crack entrenched German positions. They advanced only a few miles from their beachheads in several weeks of hard fighting before finally breaking through and advancing rapidly. The Ukrainians’ counteroffensive is also facing extraordinary headwinds, but their hard and bloody fighting today is likely setting the conditions for similar breakthroughs in the future.
On paper, the success of the Ukrainian counteroffensive seems destined to fail. The Ukrainians face a deeply entrenched Russian army that has had months to prepare fortified positions along every conceivable axis of advance.
However, Ukraine is not fighting on paper, and it possesses a number of advantages over the Russians. First, the Russian army is not a healthy organization, and unhealthy armies tend to fracture and disintegrate in the face of sustained pressure. The Wagner Group rebellion led by mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin in June was simply the tip of the iceberg. Dissatisfaction is endemic throughout the entire Russian army, in which troops at every level know this war is being badly led, badly managed and badly resourced.
As a result, morale among Russian soldiers is at rock bottom. Poorly trained and led troops risking their lives for reasons they don’t entirely understand are ripe for being routed. These miserable conscripts are also joined by tens of thousands of convicts who have been hauled out of prison to serve on the frontlines as expendable cannon fodder in which their focus is on personal survival rather than any sense of duty. Needless to say, none of these conditions helps bolster overall unit cohesion or a will to fight.
Oh Boy. Just reporting the facts ab out the war, stirred up a hornet’s nest. Thgere are so many people want to believe that somehow Ukraine invaded Russia despite the overwhelming evidence tio the contrary, it is difficult to see how to get them to see the truth.
Some Ukrainian sites , at any rate, are honest. I am particularly iiimpressed with the Denys Davidoff site, which reports Russian as well as Ukrainian successes as well as the losses in materiel and men by both sides, Every day, he provides updated battle maps from two different map publishing companies, which show the front lines igreat detail. detail.
By way of contrast, MacGregor and company never provide a scintella of evidence for thir claims. And every now and then I catch them in an outright lie, For example, he claims that large numbers of Ukrainian soldiers have surrendered (not t5rue in and of itself) because they can expect humane treatment in Russian POw camps. I have seen interview with returned Ukrainian soldiers in which starving weak condition and the bones showing through their ragged clothing, just like the survivors released from the Nazi camps at the wnd of the second world war. The also describe the tortures they were subjected to inan attempts to extract information in chilling detail.
There is much more that can be said about this matter. But this is enough for now. Good Shabbes everyone. And a joyous Rosh Hashonah next week.

Even if we were to believe that Ukraine has made the gains it declares to have made, irregardless of Ukraine’s lack of honest reporting throughout the war, to what end are these pathetic gains intended. The army which has been exhausted over the past more than three months was not intended to seize a couple of villages or to even ‘pierce’ the Russian main line at a single point, but to drive the Russians back to the sea and cut the land bridge to Crimea. In fact, the meager ‘victories’ which Ukraine claims to have gained are so minor that describing them as victories indicates a full surrender on Ukraine ever winning the war. Such victories will likely also drive the public recruitment of new regiments even further from Ukriane’s reach, thus requiring even greater number of drafting brute squads to press new ‘recruits’ into the next army which will once again be trained and equipped piecemeal to oppose the ever growing Russian forces. So, whereas Ukraine describes these claimed achievements as victories, I think it is an overstatement to call them victories at all.
Even the foreign press and foreign political support have been shaken from their once unanimous unequivocal voice of never admitting the truth of the impossible nature of Ukraine’s attempt at victory.
But as Adam fairly notes, it seems the limits of what achievements have been achieved by Ukraine are still enough for the Western powers to keep their grifting donations cycling thru Ukraine’s money laundering war machine. Well, like it or not, the people of the Western nations will have a voice in deciding how long this latest Forever War with no hope of victory will grift on. The expiration of their tolerance is certainly far more immediate than forever, and will likely lead to changes far more immediate than even this time next year. But as always, time will tell.

Adam,
If we assume they are 100% correct, this has been such a pyric accomplishment for Ukraine that they can ill afford any more such “victories.” In my considered opinion, the only reason such aid continues to flow is because Ukraine’s backers are desperate to protect/hide something. While they may view this as a life and death struggle for themselves, I see no compelling reason for my loved ones to die or suffer extreme hardship for Ukraine.
While we cannot “know” what is actually going on without inside information in real time which I do not have and suspect very few who comment actually do, we can do our best to observe the situation and carefully analyze situations and try and reach conclusions in this manner. Will we make errors sometimes? Of course!!
Based upon my observations from the mid 2000s I found it an easy conclusion that this is an unwinnable situation for Ukraine from the time of the coup in 2014. Based upon this analysis, I made numerous attempts to contact members of our leadership class via phone calls, emails, and letters strongly advising them to steer clear of this. They didn’t pay attention!!
The only reason Ukraine has been able to remain in the fight is the extreme western unity and Russia has yet to really utilize its vast network of allies in this situation. Obviously, in my considered opinion, this western unity cannot continue. Western Europe ultimately needs good relations with Russia, good relations with America are not needed, Russia is a major world power, has been for centuries, likely will be for centuries to come, and America is a declining power who may not even exist in five years. Given these realities, such support for Ukraine cannot continue. Once our leadership class is forced to face this, the use of nuclear weapons by them would not surprise me.
As Ted says, “if you believe. what they tell you.” Based upon observation and personal experience these are among the most corrupt and devious humans to ever walk the planet. I do NOT believe them at least not without confirmation from more reliable sources. If we watch how they are persecuting former president Trump, his team members, and his supporters, this tells us much of what we need to know about the evil of these people.
As for Ukraine, Zelensky’s and Ukraine, their friend former president Trump asked him to investigate the corrupt dealings of Burisma and Hunter Bident which is/was a scourge on both nations. Acting in the best interests of America as POTUS, he attempted to use whatever leverage we have in order to illicit cooperation. The Ukraine leadership turned their back on their friend and staunch ally. When one is in a life and death struggle, disrepecting one’s friends is never a good idea!!

@Michael & Adam if the source is not RT or Putin news it is not possibly valid to some.
Actually, it has been at least a modest success, The Ukrainians have picked up some territory, breached Russia’s defense lines in at least one important sector in the Southeast, destroyed numerous Russian ammunition dumps, and disruptrf Russia’s communications with strikes on Russia;s railroads, bridges and surface roads. This has made it more difficult for Russia to resupply its forces. It has damaged Russia;s tourism, and important source of Russa’s revenue, with its commando raids on the peninsula, And its drones have managed to strike Moscow and Pskov. Eneough ‘progress: to please Ukraine;s foreign backers and keep the aid flowing.
