Western public opinion is outraged by the war in Ukraine and is mobilizing to help Ukrainians in flight. For all, it is obvious: the dictator Putin does not support the new Ukrainian democracy.

As in every conflict, we are told that the others are the bad guys, while we are the good guys.

Our reaction is that of people abused by war propaganda because they do not remember previous conflicts and do not know anything about Ukraine. Let’s start again.

Who started it?

Like in the playground when our classmates were fighting each other, we want to know who started it. There is no contest: eight years ago, the United States organized a regime change in Kiev with the help of armed groups. These people call themselves "nationalists", but not at all in the sense that we understand it. They claim to be real Ukrainians of Scandinavian or proto-Germanic origin and not Slavs like the Russians. They claim to be Stepan Bandera [1], the leader of the Ukrainian collaborators of the Nazis, the equivalent of Philippe Pétain from a symbolic point of view for the French, but above all of Joseph Darnand and the soldiers of the French SS Division Charlemagne. Ukrainians, who until now considered themselves to be of Scandinavian and proto-Germanic origin on the one hand, and Slavic on the other, call them "neo-Nazis".

Here in France, the word "Nazi" is an insult that is used for anything. Historically, it is a movement that advocated a racial vision of humanity to explain the colonial empires. According to it, men belong to different "races", today we would say to different "species". They cannot have offspring together, like mares and donkeys. In nature, these two species procreate mules, but these are usually sterile. This is why the Nazis forbade inter-racial mixing. If we are of different races, some are superior to others, hence the Western domination of colonized peoples. In the 1930s, this ideology was considered a "science" and was taught in universities, especially in the United States, Scandinavia and Germany. Some very important scientists defended it. For example, Konrad Lorenz (Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1973) was an ardent Nazi. He wrote that in order to maintain the race, homosexuals had to be removed from the mass and eliminated like a surgeon removes a tumor because they mixed their genetic heritage with that of other races without being noticed.

These scientists were no more serious than those who announced the apocalypse during the Covid-19 epidemic. They had the title of "scientist", but not the reasonable approach.

Modern Russia was built on the memory of what Russians call the "Great Patriotic War" and we call the "Second World War". It does not have the same meaning for them as for us. Here in France, the war lasted only a few months, then we believed in the Nazi victory and entered into collaboration. We saw the Nazis and the Pétainists arrest, from 1940, 66,000 people, generally for "terrorism" (resistance). Then from 1942 onwards, 76,000 Jews were arrested for being of an "inferior race" and sent to the East, in reality to extermination camps. On the contrary, in the Soviet Union, the Nazis did not arrest anyone. They wanted to exterminate or enslave all Slavs within thirty years in order to free up a "living space" where they could build a colonial empire (Generalplan Ost). This is why the USSR suffered 27 million deaths. In Russian memory, the Nazis are an existential danger, not for us.

When these people came to power in Kiev, they did not declare themselves as "Nazis", but as "nationalists" in the sense of Stepan Bandera, who also called himself a "nationalist" and not a "Nazi", and even outdid himself with regard to their genocidal intentions against Slavs and Jews. They called the former regime "pro-Russian", which is factually wrong, and banned everything that evokes Russian culture. First of all, the Russian language. The majority of Ukrainians were bilingual, speaking both Russian and Ukrainian. All of a sudden, half of them were told that they would no longer be able to speak their language at school and in the administration. The Donbass region, which is very Russian speaking, rose up. But also the Hungarian minority, who were taught in their own language and who were supported in their demand by Hungary. The Ukrainians of Donbass demanded that the districts of Donestsk and Lugansk be given autonomous status and that they regain their language. These prefectures (oblast in Russian) declared themselves republics. This did not mean that they aspired to independence, but only to autonomy, like the Republic of California in the United States or the former republics of the USSR.

...
The European Union accepts all Ukrainian refugees. The Schengen states accept all people who present themselves as fleeing the war in Ukraine. According to the German administration, about a quarter of these "refugees", who swear that they work and live in Ukraine, do not have Ukrainian passports, but Algerian, Belarusian, Indian, Moroccan, Nigerian or Uzbek passports; people who obviously take advantage of the open door to be legally registered in the European Union. There is no verification of their previous stay in Ukraine. For the German employers, this is a regularization that does not say its name.

...
Why the recourse to war?

Our vision of events is distorted by our prejudices. This is even more pronounced in the Baltic States and countries formerly crushed by the "Brezhnev doctrine". These peoples imagine a priori that the Russians are the heirs of the Soviets. However, the main Soviet leaders were not Russian. Joseph Stalin was Georgian, Nikita Khrushchev Ukrainian etc., and even Leonid Brezhnev was Ukrainian.

As long as the Donetsk and Lugansk republics were Ukrainian, the massacre of their inhabitants was an exclusively Ukrainian matter. No one was allowed to protect them. However, by signing the Minsk Agreements and having them endorsed by the UN Security Council, France and Germany took responsibility for putting an end to it. They did not do so.

The problem changed in nature when, on February 21, 2022, Russia recognized the independence of the two Donbass republics. The massacre of its inhabitants was no longer a domestic issue, but an international one. On February 23, the Security Council met again as the Russian army prepared to intervene. At the meeting, UN Secretary-General António Guterres did not question the legitimacy of Russia’s recognition of the Donbass republics, nor of Russia’s military intervention against the neo-Nazis. He just asked Russia to give peace another chance [3].

International law does not prohibit war, but tries to prevent it. Since this meeting of the Security Council was fruitless, Russia was entitled to come to the aid of the inhabitants of Donbass massacred by the neo-Nazis. This it did the next day, February 24.

President Vladimir Putin, who had already waited eight years, could no longer put it off. Not only because people are dying every day, not only because the Ukrainian army was preparing a huge massacre on March 8 [4], but because Russian law makes him personally responsible for the lives of his fellow citizens. In preparation for their eventual exodus, the vast majority of Donbass residents have acquired Russian citizenship in recent years.

A French television show made a big mistake: they invited a lady who has been living in Ukraine for 25 years. Once she started telling the truth about what is really going on there, the TV host and other guests were shocked, and started arguing in great confusion.

One of the things this Ukrainian lady revealed is how the current government was positioned through election fraud, as a puppet government for criminals.

She reveals how the television channels of the opposition have been banned, many journalists have been murdered, and the country operates as a dictatorship, while to the outside world it is praised as a ‘free democracy’. She also explains how millions of people in Ukraine live in terrible conditions and many people are in fact happy with the intervention by Russia.

Listen to this Ukrainian lady here:

If you want the TRUTH then read the Holy Bible.

All media organizations worldwide broadcast NARRATIVES.

5thcolm:

Russia doesn't have free press. The Russian government determines what media can or cannot show the people. A government controlled news is no news in my opinion

I see you are on top of the information curve.

Everything you stated is very true , The last time i checked

Southernfront.org,
globalreasearch.ca,
thegrayzone.com,
unz.com,
thesaker.is

are all masters of propaganda for Russia and President Putin.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
All ye..stand up against Putin and challenge him.. bring him down to his feet..
Putin is actually the master of propaganda..he will never let you voice out...and if you do you either get silenced forever or get thrown in the dungeon..

I am glad she stood up and question him..she is brave and strong..why deceive Russians with fake narrative about the issue on ground..look at the rally he held just the way Hitler did his own with the Nazi symbol.. deceiving the people to make you look like the cool guy..
I won't be surprised if this woman get hit in days or month to come.. Putin operate like a snake in the green grass..a danger to humanity..

Putin controls literally everything ....
there are many Russians (probably the majority) who want real freedom.. but if they speak out they end up in prison or worse...
So bad..

America instruments of foreign policy also known as aircraft carriers have suddenly become sitting ducks for Russia's hypersonic missles - Mr zircon, Mr Avanguard and Mr Kinzhal .

That means I they are still afraid

If they have mind they should openly support Ukraine and match on Moscow

I guess you should start from here

The Engineering of Consent - Edward L. Bernays, 1947

Under modern conditions of political advertising and manipulation, it has become possible to talk of the engineering of consent by an elite of experts and professional politicians.

With the aid of technicians in the field who have specialized in utilizing the channels of communications, [some leaders] have been able to achieve purposefully and scientifically what we have termed "the engineering of consent".

The freedoms of press, speech, petition and assembly, the freedoms which make the engineering of consent possible, are among the most cherished guarantees in the Constitutional democracies.

If you were actually basing your information on facts instead of emotions maybe I would value your opinion but you not.

As of right now everyone has been paid. According to Fitch ratings everyone was paid. America did not grant them a soft landing. By Russia telling usa the ball is in their court they let their creditors know that the money was available but America was trying to cause an artificial default. An artificial default would not hurt Russia but would hurt America more that's why they unfrooze the accounts for foriegn payments to debtors until May. You call a country with the 11th highest GDP in the world poor? While you live in a country with less than half of the gdp of russia. Russia has very little debt compared to the rest of the world and is considered one of the stables economies.

Also russia,China and India already created their own payment system that they were getting set up. Russia doesn't depend too much on the west anymore.

Also concerning the war in Ukraine. Have you see Russia use any of their modern equipment ? No you haven't. Russia has not and will not use any of their modern equipment. It took America 90 days to fully control Afghanistan but you calling Russia weak after 21 days because they haven't fully captured Ukraine. Russia has tried to minimize the amount of people killed that's why they have been progressing slowly. While America killed over a million ppl before they conquered Afghanistan. The biggest bomb ever used was created by Russia. The Tsar bomber. It was so strong that America and European countries begged Russia to stop making it. You should read about it. If rusisa wanted to take Ukraine they could in a weak but that would require them to destroy it and kill millions of people. Even American defense teams are saying Russia is using weapons from the soviet era and not modern weapons. Russias first division soldiers aren't even in Ukraine. Why is it they didn't send their vest soldiers?

Russia can create all the rubles it wants without a single cent of US dollars. They are created on a keyboard and can only be created on a keyboard, regardless of how many dollars are received or not received from exports. The exchange rate is completely irrelevant to what Russia’s government can spend rubles on in its domestic economy. The only real (as opposed to imagined, or self-imposed) limitation is inflation, which stems from the limited pool of labor, raw materials and energy available in the domestic economy (and which do not magically become greater from more dollars appearing in the Central Bank of Russia’s bank accounts in New York, except if those dollars are used to increase imports into Russia).

The only reason to raise foreign currency through exports is to pay for imports.


Russia has no need for foreign exchange. She does not need to import energy and minerals. Russia is full of engineering and science and can make whatever she needs. The central bank can finance all internal projects.

You don't understand the Macroeconomics of USA and Russia as economies and countries.

I'll just simplify it for you to understand.
Macroeconomic factors that indicate US economy is broke would be -
A negative GDP growth.
Drastic fall of the USD and
Huge foreign debt greater than local debt that can't be serviced.

The US economy does not suffer from any of those issues because -
Their GDP growth is positive,
The USD is stable because all debts are serviced and paid as at when due and
Citizens in America and countries overseas are still buying US debts and bonds because they know the US treasury always pay their debt with interest as at when due.

Thede are the Macroeconomics that makes the US economy strong and the largest in the world.

Russia economy, Macroeconomics-
Their GDP growth is racing towards negative due to economic sanctions of export and trade.
The Ruble is undergoing devaluation because the foreign reserve (in USD of about $315 Billion) which is pegged to the Russian currency is frozen. The foreign reserve is what gives the currency monetary value.
The russian central bank can no longer pay investors their debts and interests as at when due because of their frozen reserve (about half of it), this will cause the russian economy to shrink further because future investors will be afraid to invest. Meanwhile Russia still has about $300 billion foreign reserve in China and other countries that they can access but they dare not spend that money. Remember I said that the value of a countries currency is pegged to its foreign reserve. If Russia spends out of those unsanctioned reserve the value of the rumble will crash further unless they are quickly replaced.

I tried to simplify it. I hope you can understand it.

Most elaborate reply award goes to 2016easy2017.

Russia deliberately left 300 billion USD in western banks to cover a large portion of the country's total national debt servicing to the bond market for years to come without default.

2016easy2017:

Let me explain or simplify.

Russia made proposed payment for debt funds long before the war( like issuing a postdated cheque) but it was unknown to bond share owners. Russia knew that was gonna happen. So, it got the bond liabilities on the bond share holder countries and individuals of which Westerners Carr the most. So what the US and the west sanctioned is actually the dividends belonging to the bond share holders. Though some portion belongs to Russia but it's negligible
