Geopolitical Focus #2 – February, 2024: The War & The Woke
Geopolitical Focus – February, 2024: The War & the Woke - Carlson/Putin Interview, Biden's rant, and the Ware in Ukraine.
What a series of events in the early months of 2024: Tucker Carlson interviews Putin, Special Counsel Hur sends Biden’s document report, the Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and the US Border Bill stall in Congress. Ukraine loses more ground, and global forces are fighting over War Crimes in Russia and Israel. No one wants peace. War is and will always be war, with atrocities and dead people, no matter who or where. But not talking and negotiating peace is the real crime.
To drum up more money for war, the timing of Mr. Navalny came at a very good time. Forget the crocodile tears of politicians and the press; it benefits their narrative, and judgments are made in seconds. And who believes that this was not an orchestrated act? (And do not claim Hollywood is not political.) The global press and Mr. Biden all used the dead for their agenda for more support.
No one knows what his activities were other than overthrow the Russian Government. Who paid him? What was his political motive? Perhaps his thinking is more of a hardliner than Western values, and so on. Was he a hero? Perhaps for the Russia haters, just as Julian Assange is for the free world but not for the leaders of the free press and democracy.
It is a sickening game that is played, not for a shared world but for world views. Iraq all over again, and we still do not know who blew up North Stream 2, and for what the
CIA is recruiting Russian agents. Epstein was hanging himself too, his security detail asleep. If anyone, Mr. Biden may be in control of all senses, but his stubbornness is manifest second only to either being played by the war mongers or corruptive forces he is part of. Perhaps they are all in the same boat? Together with the British, it's like the War on London propaganda, and
peace is a distant thought for the US and the paranoid imperialist,
Boris Johnson. They must have a lot to lose, perhaps land access to China.
Here are a couple of links related to Mr. Navalny; Was he a British agent? (translated)
Compared to the mainstream junk media, which has degenerated into a megaphone of transatlantic one-size-fits-all propaganda, KenFM represents an increasingly influential counterweight. For example, KenFM readers and listeners have learned that the racist rioter Navalny, of all people, had received an expensive "scholarship" from the US embassy in Moscow in 2010 for a course at the US university Yale, for a course that the CIA misuses to search for talent for its "future, global leaders". Can anyone report whether he or she has learned anything about this background in one of the self-proclaimed "quality media"? This is important, because Navalny's stay in the United States was not without consequences.
Was he a Right Wing radical, converted?
Navalny's first political engagement took place from 1999 to 2007. He was a member, sometimes even on the board, of the liberal party "Jablonko" and at the same time made a name for himself as a blogger against corruption. Navalny claims that there were personal reasons for his expulsion from the party, and that he criticized the party's founder, Grigory Yavlinsky, at the time. But he says that nationalist and racist statements have led to his expulsion.
And what about Gonzalo Lira? No one talks or writes about him. Was he on the wrong side of the media, so he deserved to die? Or Julian Assange, who simply published some truth. If you rot in jail, house arrest, or die, can only the person itself decide how it feels?
Navalny, a pawn sacrificed in the hope to fuel Russia hate and an internal revolution? He was a small price to pay, and his wife was already waiting in the wings together with Aleksei Miniailo. Better than losing support in the Western world or the war?
Is there any difference in the US or anywhere else? Just a question of who is in power. Unless you believe lawyers and judges are not of the same fabric. Call Soros (he probably fits the description of an insurrectionist; he does not use democratic but legal principles) or the Jan 6 insurrectionists?
On 16 April 2021, the Moscow prosecutor office requested the Moscow City Court to designate organizations linked to Navalny including the FBK and his headquarters as extremist organizations, claiming: "Under the disguise of liberal slogans, these organizations are engaged in creating conditions for the destabilization of the social and socio-political situation."[321] In response, Navalny aide Leonid Volkov stated: "Putin has just announced full-scale mass political repression in Russia."[322]
Compare, in a quiet minute, Tucker's interview with Putin and Biden's 5-minute rant after the Hur report. Look at the content; forget for a minute the Russian dictator or the demented President. Well, Putin may have put on a nice face, but that would only prove that he has one. On the other hand, Biden and the Western press simply run a demolition campaign and declare the US President the best ever. Perhaps an argument could be made that Russia’s and Biden's deep state are not much different? While Hunter is chastised, all journalists supporting Zelinsky unconditionally are heroes?
Covid, climate change, woke culture, and war—the unifying forces of the West and a moralist system replacing democracies. The latest manifestation of such a world is Mr. Biden's comments in support of the latest Ukraine package, selling it as an investment in the defense industry, with 90 cents on the dollar, supporting the US economy. And this comes from the leader of the world's democracy, paid in death bodies and blaming Putin? Is this really the intelligence we can expect from our leaders, fear-mongering at its best? And, by the way, who is going to do the fighting? Ukraine may need a miracle like a migrant invasion.
All of this is a result of NATO, the EU, and Western leadership's total miscalculations and a total failure in negotiations over years, with a view of Stalin’s Russia in the 1930s. Yes, the current Russian Constitution calls for 4-year terms, and Putin has managed a basic lifetime term, making him a “dictator”. But does that call the constitution off, and what are the indications Russia wants to go to war with all the West? The argument could be made the other way as well; NATO has been expanding East since 1993, and the current rhetoric may sound like regrets that Germany did not win the war in 1945 against Russia. Read about the fabric of Russia and its government structure.
The stupidity of the Western political elite and its obsession with Russia, and the fear-mongering about a threat to the rest of Europe, is almost impossible to swallow for someone who lives—not only exists—on this planet. Perhaps a sit-down with Putin may resolve the conflict quickly, but that goes against the wishes of the Navalny’s. Germany, in unisono, now calls for unrestricted support with long-range missiles and ammunition, claiming it is a must to defeat Russia. Germany started WWI and WWII; now, do they see a chance to finally get to Russia after they lost in WWII? Will Russia rain missiles all over Europe?
When it is said that "President Putin and his regime must lose this war", it becomes clear what the policy envisaged by Germany will ultimately lead to: a direct war between NATO and Russia. Anyone who knows about Russia's motivation in the Ukraine war understands that, from their point of view, the country must not lose this war. Too much is at stake, both domestically and internationally.
And the Polish, still resenting some actions the Russians did, although Mr. Putin apologized, are among the biggest Fear Mongers, perhaps betting on more Military spending by the US for their defense?
WARSAW — Two decades ago, when Poland rallied behind the United States in the contentious lead-up to the Iraq war, the president of France chided Warsaw, saying it had “missed a good opportunity to shut up.
The latest sanctions on India and China by the EU will not help, and Europe will be in the Mincer between the BRIC and the Moralists? Neither India nor China want NATO or the US meddling in Russia.
In reality, the security conference in Munich was nothing short of a War tribunal and a fear monger festival orchestrated by a misguided alliance that believes Russia will invade the World. No resolutions but accusations, and self-interest?
The other War in Israel and Gaza has basically become a side show, and why has the US has to pay billions, yes its an ally but really, are they listening to anyone about resolving the issues with their neighbors. Why are always the other at fault, and are Palestinians expendables as are the Russians? Here as well, we send the CIA, the Secretary of State, and others but they have no influence about Israels killing of people, but we give more money to kill and the end resolutions is, killing more people. There are always two parties to a conflict, and it is a pipe dream to kill all Hamas, everyone who lost a Hamas Soldier may create two.
Israel’s assault in Gaza has killed more than 29,000 Palestinians since Oct. 7, the territory’s Health Ministry said Monday, marking another grim milestone in one of the deadliest and most destructive military campaigns in recent history.
Since the US economy is ‘booming,’ Trump haters still think he had it all wrong. The oil price was at $40 a barrel when Mr. Biden decided to help Iran and the rest of the world drive prices up to $100, stirring the inflation we still chew on. The intelligence globally makes a big fuss about Trump calling out NATO states for not paying, but they all forgot that with $40, Russia could never have afforded the war, and Iran could not finance attacks on Israel or the Red Sea. So, a circle closed in a circle economy?
On the other hand, Germany, willingly bowing to the US President's demands to support Ukraine, with some voices even calling for the elimination of Russia, may suffer an actual economic collapse. There are endless bureaucratic and regulatory decisions and a green coalition that defies any growth factors from the past but has not established a base for a solid future. Therefore, the German and European economy may suffer at least through 2024. Here are the current PMI, 2023, and economic forecast.
BRICS, on the other hand, seems to be doing well—perhaps another concern for the US? I wonder if these
countries would ditch Russia for the USA. Perhaps all the money buried in wars should be spent on diplomatic and economic efforts, as they have a better prospect of lasting peace.
