If there was a better way , I havent heard it.

Why didnt the US sail straight to the shores of Japan , shooting, in 42?

Why didnt the "second front " so desired by Stalin , come about till 44 ( 43 in N Africa)

Because....... it wasnt possible till the Battle of the Atlantic was won . There was no shipping to spare, for years. Rosie the Riveter had to eat and sleep too.

What you flaunt as the obvious is nonsense.

"Over by Christmas" types are very v tiresome

No nation is truly sovereign. Global powers like neighbours, large countries and international corporations cannot be ignored. We hardly know what hand Putin was dealt, so it's just guessing what he could have done differently.

"Subjecting Russia to the unprecedented economic assault that were the benefit-free COVID lockdowns" >> Lockdowns benefit rich people and large corporations. The pandemic has also been used to scale down healthcare expenses. Lockdowns grant extra powers to governments.

"Leaving $300 billion in Western banks just asking for them to be confiscated" >> I don't know the dynamics between the international banking system and Russia. Leaving $300 billion behind can be a trade for something else.

"Sending the Russian army into the largest European war after WW2 in a piecemeal fashion" >> Historically most wars start piecemeal. What stands out for me is the low number of soldiers lost by Russia, and their care in avoiding civilian casualties.

So far, the Ukraine war looks like a show that removes the last functioning weapons from the US and the EU, and superseeds COVID in distracting world attention from the great reset.

It feels like Putin is trying to balance many different problems.

Political at home. Military in Ukraine. National security with regard to bioweapons labs and NATO involvement.

But there may be other issues. Eg, the WEF or the WHO may be leaning on him, or the oligarchs. He also has close ties to Kissinger which has always been concerning.

He seems to be sucked in by the covid scam which is a very bad sign.

I think he is beholden to his court; and the various demands of the princes so conflict with one another that only pathetic actions make it to the table.

For crisseffingsake, if you'll parden me bursting into my local language, for a sec ... Topendstrine... Russia-Siberia is a big place. Would you blame Biden for the actions of every judge, governor, or congress-person in the United states?

Of course not. Putin is not Ruskigod. He can only act with due deferrence to the diverse actions and opinions of other powerful Russians. And then there are allies to consider.

But in context, I have watched his behaviour for 20 years or so. I have been writing about geopolitics for more than 50 years, which makes me just as cautious as Putin. I simply and categorically state that he is head and shoulders above any other poltician I have observed in my lifetime.

He has being weighing up factors that are invisible to most of us. So far, I have not seen him make a wrong move. He is not an American wanting to invade and occupy another sovereign nation (which makes Ukraine the 50th nation invaded since 1946). He is a Russian, heeding the Russian-speakers of whom 14, 000 have been murdered by the US (Victoria Nuland and her $5 bililon coup), victim-people who once were Russian but for a poorly-considered and undemocratic gift by Kruschev. Likewise Crimea.

That the west does not comprehend that there cannot be an illegal or undemocratic referendum shows us why peace is impossible. Putin is at war with psychopaths. There is only one solution, erase the western powers. Obviously, that is impossible, therefore he must look for less obvious moves on the chess board. That chessboard included most humans in the world, most of whom favour Putin. Obviously then, this is going to take time.

As a victim of the US imperial colonial war machine, I vainly wish this would happen sooner rather than later., but I know this has a few years to play out. In the meantime, I will keep my knife sharp and invisible.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Putin is working for the global cabal - while pretending (as he absolutely must, to keep Russian patriots on board) to be a patriot and a lover of Russia.

Consider this: the hiking of energy prices in the West was an absolutely essential objective to be achieved by the globalists - in order to devastate Western economies, along with a cataclysmic financial crisis, so as to create sufficient fear and desperation among Western populations for them to submit to the Great Reset - which would be presented to them as 'the only solution' to that crisis and collapse.

The ONLY way that the global cabal which controls almost all Western governments could get away with sending energy prices sky high, so as to achieve this devastating destruction of Western economies would be via a 'Narrative' (something the globalists always use to achieve their objectives) that these sky high energy prices were due to outside forces and events beyond the control of Western governments.

The invasion of Ukraine was chosen by them as the tool to provide that pretext: it enabled them to impose the sanctions which are supposedly against Russia - but which are actually against the West, which they used to drive energy prices through the roof, and thereby to destroy Western (particularly) economies, and to drive living standards dramatically downwards - an operation which is now underway.

Simultaneously, driving energy prices sky high achieved another globalist objective: to create massive food shortages and famines next year. Massive fertilizer manufacturers like BASF are shutting down fertilizer production - exactly as planned - and fertilizer shortages, along with sky high prices for fertilizer, are the way to create a global food shortage next year.

The cabal only required Putin to make an incursion of some depth into Russia - so as to provide the pretext to drive energy prices through the roof. They do not want him going deeper into Ukraine, which is a globalist power center and money-laundering center - and so, Putin will continue to mess around, just keeping the war going, while the global cartel put most of the tens of billions of Western 'aid money' into their offshore bank accounts - a very nice earner to accompany the hundreds of billions made by the cabal from their fake 'Covid crisis', fake 'Covid vaccines', and (very juicy) fake 'Covid tests' operations.

The fact that Putin has followed exactly the same Covid and Covid 'vaccines' scams operations as all Western governments, doing and saying exactly the same as all of them at every stage, further demonstrates that he is a globalist puppet, just like almost every Western leader and government.

And now, when the Covid crisis scam is over, Putin is forcing the people mobilized to be injected with the toxic and pathogenic Covid 'vaccines' - which contrary to media BS in Russia, are basically the same as the Astrazeneca fake 'vaccines'!

The new tactic of the globalists is to have some of their puppets mouth anti-globalist sentiments: thus, you have both Putin and Meloni raging against the globalists' destruction of people's sense of identity, etc. - while Meloni, having raged against the globalist operation, then says that she supports the EU - the globalists' European HQ! - and supports NATO's operation supporting Ukraine!

It has long been noticed that those who interfere with Putin somehow die too quickly and suddenly. Suspicions arise that the point here is not so much in the vicissitudes of fate, but in well-organized contract killings. Just a list of those who interfered with Putin and suddenly died would take up an entire post. But... suspicions are not evidence. However, there are also such murders in which Putin's guilt is quite legally provable. They will be discussed.

But first, a background story, thanks to which the background of events becomes clear, and why "kill" is the very first thing that comes to Putin's mind. Based on these events, perhaps you can make a good thriller.

Little Vova grew up as a “wolf cub”, who considers violence the main argument in any dispute. From the age of 11, he took up martial arts, and quite successfully - eventually became the champion of Leningrad in sambo, earned a black belt in karate. Jewish upbringing gave the “wolf cub” a mask of intelligence and important connections. Vova was brought together with "Kolya Yegorov", a smart young Jew, with whom they entered the "thieves" law school of Leningrad State University together, where they studied in the same group and always sat side by side in class. Kolya is 5 years older than Vova, he is the brain, but Vova is like a security guard. Together with them, Sasha Bastrykin, a Komsomol activist, the head of the group, studied together - these three later became the basis of the initially deeply conspiratorial gang of killer lawyers. Their reasons for conspiracy were very weighty: thanks to Kolya Egorov and Musin Valery Abramovich, the guys embarked on the path of cooperation with the US CIA, it was very romantic, but very risky in those years.

Yes V V Putin is a CIA asset!!

All makes sense. Russia has been kept as a supplier of raw materials to the West and has not invested in its own industrialization since Soviet times. In fact Putin has weakened the armed forces. A famous Russian who pointed this out met an untimely death shortly afterwards. There is a long list of people like this and it still continues. All those people that fall off buildings?

The West openly calls Russia a gas station with nukes, so why hasn't it developed its immense wealth for the benefit of its own citizens?

Viktor Ilyukhin

Let's remind you. On the eve of his death on February 10, 2011, V. I. Ilyukhin made an accusatory speech on Putin's destructive activities:

.

Speech of the Chief Prosecutor V. Ilyukhin at the trial of the military tribunal of the All-Russian Officers ' Assembly on the case of V. Putin's destructive activities

Moscow, February 10, 2011

"Dear comrades-in-arms!

.

In accordance with the decision of the All-Russian Officers ' Assembly, held in February 2008, its Presidium formed a military tribunal to assess the activities of the former President of the Russian Federation, former Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Armed Forces V. V. Putin, now Chairman of the Russian Government.

The officers ' meeting could not pass by the destructive policy that V. V. conducted and continues to conduct.Putin in relation to the defense and security of Russia, the decomposition of the army and Navy, the Military-industrial complex.

.

A group of scientists, lawyers, major military specialists, and experts from various fields of knowledge, after conducting a deep and unbiased analysis of Vladimir Putin's activities, came to an unequivocal conclusion that he committed deliberate actions that led to a sharp weakening of the country's military, economic, and other power.

In the 1990s and early 2000s, the NTV channel aired such a program-"Dolls". Dolls of famous politicians played out satirical plots among themselves, often based on literary works. When Putin came to power, he destroyed the old NTV channel. Now it's a propaganda dump like all of Putin's TV. But when NTV was still independent, on January 30, 2000, the most famous program "Dolls" was released there, which many people probably remember. It was called "Baby Zaches".

In a German fairy tale by Hoffmann, a simple poor peasant woman gives birth to a dwarf freak. And both internally and externally. The dwarf causes everyone to be disgusted, but the good fairy decides to help him and gives him magical power: others do not see that this is a freak, but attribute various imaginary virtues to him. He becomes a privy councillor to the king, etc. Then the witch's deception is dispelled, and everyone sees the true face of the freak.

According to the plot of "Dolls" in January 2000, the dwarf freak is Putin, the fairy is Berezovsky, who sculpts a fictional hero out of him with the help of a TV set. Berezovsky in the story nurses baby Tsakhes, teaches him to speak, he shouts from the cradle "Wet in the toilet!". Berezovsky lets him suck his finger, but the dwarf tries to bite it off, etc. Yeltsin sits at the cradle, complains that the baby has a dark past, but then falls asleep soundly.

The plot, in general, was clear: Berezovsky nurtures a monster. Which will also devour it. The plot was prophetic. It remains to add that all this was possible only because the people of Russia did not say their word on the streets and in other forms of active protest. Not in 1999, not since. So they let the Camarilla sit and decide what will rule Russia: either Tsakhes, or Primus.

Great post! Perhaps its simpler and Putin has been the Angela Merkel of Russia, but worse. Do as little as possible but very occasionally make impulsive decisions followed by hesitation and indecision, that in the long run turn out to be disastrous.

Those pictures are definitely not just ‘someone who looks like Putin’; I believe they are from the same gene pool or something.

Doesn’t make sense.

Wow! Great to see this point of view.....if Putin and the Russian PTB are onboard with Herr Schwab's Great Reset scheme, it would explain all of the unexplainable events we have been seeing in Ukraine....

The fact that he was one of the WEF' s young global leaders tells a lot...he's still using the same playbook to maximize the amount of virile males killed and neutralized....

Now I wish Scott Ritter could see through Russia's backroom scheming...
