We already have the Plague, now we have the War and we are threatened by the Famine. Ukrainian grain blackmail is intended to soften the hearts of public opinion and at the same time multiply the profits of all those interested in prolonging this war.
Hierarchy of the Vassal States
During this summer Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria acting with the European Community’s acceptance have introduced a temporary ban on Ukrainian grain products, including wheat, maize, rapeseed and sunflower seeds. Kiev threatens legal action against Europen Union if grain curbs drag on, demanding not only the right to import and the complete abolition of customs duties, but also a guarantee of the Ukrainian grain monopoly in Europe.
Ukraine, not belonging to the EU (and not paying contributions), would not only receive subsidies for its agri-food exports, but also granaries would be created in the EU exclusively for Ukrainian grain, which would have priority on the European market. Of course, the entire investment would be financed by EU countries. What is quite significant is that, in Poland, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria, as well as in the Baltic States, there are USA puppet-governments, but the White House and Westminster do not support their ‘allies’ in their even pretended attempts to protect own markets from Ukrainian competition. That is an important lesson not only for Eastern Europe: it is just not worthwhile to be a British-American vassal state.
Meanwhile public opinion is not told the brutal truth about the agriculture and food industry in Ukraine. Full control over that part of the Ukrainian economy is now transferred to the global food corporations, like Bayer-Monsanto, DowDuPont/Corteva and BASF and Kiev’s grain blackmail is just a trick, letting these companies take control also over the European market. Ukrainian farmers organisations have already confirmed planting of the genetically modified (GM) soy in Ukraine, being a devastating threat to crops in neighbouring countries and countries purchasing forage and meat production from Ukraine.
When Africa Roars…!
As we should remember, the main argument in favour of the Black Sea Agreement was the food situation in Africa. However, most of the Ukrainian grain is transited through Poland to Europe, while Russia exported more than 11 million tons of grain to Africa last year and nearly 10 million tons in the first six months of 2023, despite illegal sanctions imposed on Russian exports. In the coming months Russia will supply 50,000 tons of wheat each to Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Mali, Somalia, Central African Republic, and Eritrea, delivered at no cost. So, who in fact feeds Africa then and why do the US and UK try to block it?
The Second Russia-Africa Summit held during 27th – 28th July in St. Petersburg has been recognized as a big success, finally confirming the death of Atlantic-Eurocentrism. The victorious wave of anti-neocolonial resistance in West Africa is another great blow to imperialism leading to the belief that Africa is finally take its rightful place in the reality of a multipolar world emerging on the ruins of American hegemony and globalist neoliberalism.
Nazi Lies and the Imperialist Strategies
Neoliberalism, however, defends itself as it always did, by calling on fascism to help. The propaganda of the Ukrainian Nazis once used the slogan of “Famine” to hide their own crimes against humanity. Fake “Holodomor”, the myth of the “Great Ukrainian Famine” supported by Anglo-Saxon imperialists and anti-communists, is one of the great historical and political lies of our times. This slogan is still used today for anti-communist and anti-Russian propaganda.
Meanwhile, during World War II, the German Nazi occupiers transported entire trains full of chernozem, the most fertile soil, from Ukraine to the West. We’re dealing with the similar situation today. Russophobia is intended to hide the gigantic plunder of land and property in Ukraine carried out by neoliberal global corporations and local oligarchs.
It is also part of the strategy to stop Africa’s awakening. Food shortages and control over food distribution serve to maintain neocolonial control over this continent. However, Africa is waking up and Europe and the rest of the world should follow its example. Totalitarian control over the food chain is to be one of the last stages of the final enslavement of humanity, a process significantly accelerated during COVID, the energy transition and the war in Ukraine. By opposing Ukrainian grain blackmail and the interests behind it, we are defending not only our lifestyle, but also our basic rights. Whoever controls the supply of bread decides about the freedom and lives of others.
Peace, Land and Bread! – that what we should still fight for.

It should be no surprise that the Canadian parliament was misled into applauding an old Nazi and former member of the Waffen SS Galizien in Ukraine during the second world war. Yaroslav Hunka served in the 14th SS Volunteer Division “Galicia”, which was made up of Ukrainian nationalists. At the end of the war, these “volunteers” who fought with Hitler’s army and collaborated in massacres committed on Ukrainian soil during the Second World War, were not extradited to the Soviet Union but like Hunka were able to emigrate to Canada while many others escaped to the UK and through the Vatican’s “Rat Lines” to South America.
Poland, whose citizens were victims of the Galicia division (they have been demanding but not getting an apology from Ukraine for the Wolyn massacre) attacked Canada and demanded the extradition of Hunka. The Speaker of the Canadian parliament later apologized and resigned, while Prime Minister JustinTrudeau admitted the scandal but did not resign and managed to blame Russia!
All this is no surprise when we know that the Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland herself is the granddaughter of a notorious Nazi and she associates with Ukrainian extremist groups in Canada.
Her grandfather Mikhail Chomiak, who emigrated to northern Alberta after fleeing to Vienna in late 1944 was a Jew-hating Nazi and editor of the fascist Ukrainian newspaper based in Poland Krakivski Visti which operated under the notorious rule of Hans Frank (executed after the war). «Krakivski Visti published an editorial on 6th November 1941 which said:
“There is not a single Jew left in Kiev today, while there were 350,000 under the Bolsheviks, the Jews “got their comeuppance.”
This referred to the mass shooting of Kiev’s Jewish population at Babi Yar. In just two days, Sept. 29-30, 1941, a total of 33,771 people were murdered.
Today there are issued in Ukraine, stamps celebrating the foundation of the Waffen SS Division “Galicia”. This illustration shows some of the “heroes” of Galicia and (centre) the celebration of the 75th anniversary of its foundation on the stamps.
Note how the uniforms resemble those of war time German Nazis – just as today Ukrainian troops and military vehicles carry old war time German insignia! One of them is a Greek-Catholic chaplain of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UNA) — the most violent pro-Hitler Banderite group.
One of the most overt and active Nazis in Ukraine is Andriy Parubiy, the former Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament. (See this)
On September 4, 2018 he said that Adolf Hitler was “the torchbearer of democracy”. His statement was broadcast on Ukraine’s ICTV channel. Parubiy described Adolf Hitler as a true proponent of democracy claiming that the Führer “practiced direct democracy in the 1930s.”
Here Parubiy is feted by US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland:
Parubiy was also received in the Canadian parliament by Trudeau, by the head of the European Commission for Democracy Through Law (!!!) Gianni Buquicchio, by the American Policy Council, by the British Royal United Services Institute and by the late Senator John McCain.
Parubiy founded in 1991 the Social-National Party of Ukraine (subsequently renamed Svoboda [Freedom]), together with OlehTyanhnybok who currently heads the Svoboda party.
Parubiy was ‘Commandant’ of the volunteer rebel forces together with DmytroYarosh (head of the Right Sector) and Oleh Tyanhnybok.
These neo-Nazi insurgent forces were involved in the ‘Euromaidan’ coup d’etat in early 2014, which led to the overthrow of president Viktor Yanukovych.
All three neo-Nazi leaders are followers of Ukraine’s Nazi Stepan Bandera, who collaborated in the mass murder of Jews and Poles during World War II but is celebrated today in Ukraine both in civil demonstrations on his birthday and on the battlefield.
I have in previous posts shown a collage of western press coverage of Nazis in Ukrainian civil and military life but as we know that was before the Russian response (in February 2022) to Ukraine’s civil war against Russians.
Since then the denial of Nazism has taken on grotesque and hilarious proportions – until a slight change recently.
Here we have two juxtaposed headlines from the war mongering, neocon New York Times which has been unable to keep up the Nazism-deniers’ narrative!
Religious Nazis in Ukraine — And British Collaboration
In Ukraine there is a small minority who belong to the “Uniate” Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church who have the orthodox rite but accept the authority of the Vatican. (I need hardly reiterate the close links between war time Croatian Nazis–“Ustashe”–and the Roman Catholic Church, with the Pope receiving them in the Vatican.)
A chaplain of that church has used a sermon to call on his parishioners to expel priests of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church from Ukraine.
In his sermon Nikolay Medinsky called the followers of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church “spiritual occupiers” and enemies, and urged his flock to “expel them by their own hands, without waiting for the authorities or the army”.
And here is a video where another Uniate priest addresses the activists of Maidan saying that there can only be a “language of bullets” used against Russians.
So that “no Jew, no Negro, no Chinese would dare to enter our home”:
This video has deliberately been made difficult to view (Youtube demands visual ID etc) but the above quote has been verified for me by a Ukrainian speaker.
Equally disturbing is the British collaboration with this Church: From the British Army website:
“As you read this, spare a thought for these men as by now they will be on their way back, some to the eastern and southern flanks of the frontlines to confront the Russian invaders. Before they left, they had a surprise visit by the Ukrainian Catholic Bishop to the United Kingdom, the Right Reverend Kenneth Nowakowski who conducted a field service in which he blessed all those about to return sprinkling them with holy water and then presenting each recruit with their own set of rosary beads.”
The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church represents at most 14% of Ukrainians. I don’t think the Orthodox troops will have appreciated this.
How the British and Americans landed this time on the Nazi side of a war will be the subject of future articles on Freenations.

Important article.
Bear in mind the UN Secretary General is a figurehead, invariably a proxy, who is acting on behalf of by powerful financial interests.
The UN system is in crisis. It is overshadowed by US foreign policy.
Amply documented, there is a US hegemonic agenda behind this proposal. The broader issue is the derogation of the national sovereignty of more than 190 UN member states.
GR, July 8, 2023
***
In September 2024, less than two months before the next U.S. presidential election, the United Nations will host a landmark “Summit of the Future,” where member nations will adopt a Pact for the Future. The agreement will solidify numerous policy reforms offered by the U.N. over the past two years as part of its sweeping Our Common Agenda«.
Although there are numerous radical proposals included in the agenda, perhaps none are more important than the U.N. plan for a new “emergency platform,” a stunning proposal to give the U.N. significant powers in the event of future “global shocks,” such as another worldwide pandemic.
Many of the details of the U.N. emergency platform were laid out in a March 2023 policy paper titled “Strengthening the International Response to Complex Global Shocks — An Emergency Platform.” In the paper, the U.N. secretary-general writes,
“I propose that the General Assembly provide the Secretary-General and the United Nations system with a standing authority to convene and operationalize automatically an Emergency Platform in the event of a future complex global shock of sufficient scale, severity and reach.”
Once triggered, the emergency platform would give the U.N. the ability to “actively promote and drive an international response that places the principles of equity and solidarity at the centre of its work.” The U.N. would bring together the “stakeholders” of the world, including academics, governments, private sector actors, and “international financial institutions” to ensure there is a unified, global response to the crisis.
The emergency platform would also give the United Nations the power to
“Ensure that all participating actors make commitments that can contribute meaningfully to the response and that they are held to account for delivery on those commitments.”
In other words, the United Nations would be given unprecedented authority over the public and private sectors of huge swaths of the world, all in the name of battling a yet unknown crisis.
It Gets Worse
As difficult as it might be to believe, the story gets even worse from here. Although the duration of the emergency platform would initially be set for a “finite period,” at “the end of that period, the Secretary-General could extend the work of an Emergency Platform if required,” according to the United Nations’ own policy proposal.
That means the secretary-general would have the authority to keep the emergency platform in place indefinitely, all without reauthorization from member nations.
What kind of “global shock” would trigger the emergency platform? The U.N. provides several possible examples in its formal proposal, including a “major climatic event,” “future pandemic risks,” a “global digital connectivity disruption,” “major event in outer space,” and, my personal favorite, “unforeseen risks, (‘black swan’ events).”
This isn’t to say that these incredibly broad categories would be the only potential justifications allowed to trigger the emergency platform. The proposal makes clear that it “would allow the convening role of the United Nations to be maximized in the face of crises with global reach and should be ‘agnostic as to the type of crisis,’ as we do not know what type of global shock we may face in the future.”
Further, “The Secretary-General would decide when to convene an Emergency Platform in response to a complex global shock.”
Or, put in simpler terms, a “global shock” is whatever the U.N.’s leadership says it is, triggered whenever the U.N. desires.
Biden Admin Supports the Proposal
The emergency platform proposal might be the biggest attempted power grab in the history of the United Nations, but as shocking as it is, it pales in comparison to the Biden administration’s treatment of this extremist proposal.
Rather than assert America’s independence and sovereignty, the White House has expressed its support for the emergency platform. U.S. Ambassador Chris Lunoted in at least two March 2022 speeches that the Biden administration backs the emergency platform, along with numerous other proposals included in “Our Common Agenda.”
The emergency platform would centralize an immense amount of power and influence, giving the United Nations greater control over the lives of Americans than it has ever had before. And rather than stand up for Americans’ rights, President Biden has already agreed to sell us out.
If the emergency platform is approved, the United States as we know it could cease to exist. That sounds dire, but it’s true. We either stand for freedom now or risk everything come September 2024.

As outlined by Patrick Bet-David in this incisive interview:
“The largest shareholder of 88% of the companies on S&P 500 is either State Street, Vanguard or BlackRock.
And you can see their influence in defense contracts.“
Three Portfolio Financial Giants are in a position to take control of the real economy of entire countries.
Watch Patrick Bet-David in conversation with Joe Rogan in the video below.
This world economic tyranny is:
“led by a group of super-wealthy oligarch, multi-billionaires … These oligarchs are accompanied by some super-giant financial institutions, like BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, Fidelity and more which control an estimated 25 trillion dollars-equivalent in assets, giving them a leverage power of well-over a 100 trillion dollars, as compared to the world’s GDP of some 90 trillion dollars. In other words, they can manipulate, control and pressure every government on Mother Earth to do their bidding. (Peter Koenig)
“BlackRock, headed by Larry Fink, has thousands of companies from all sectors in its portfolio. The capital it manages has grown in the last ten years from 3,500 to 9,500 billion dollars (more than 5 times the GDP of Italy) and is increasing further.
In this way, BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street have a decision-making voice in the boards of directors of the major multinationals and banks, including central banks.
The “Big Three” also control Standard & Poor Global, the rating agency that monitors the world’s economies, failing or promoting them” (Manlio Dinucci)
The Privatization of Ukraine by BlackRock
“In recent developments. BlackRock together with JPMorgan “have come to the rescue of Ukraine”. Their objective is to “buy out” an entire country.
The stated objective is “to attract billions of dollars in private investment to assist rebuilding projects in a war-torn country”. (FT, June 19, 2023)
The Kiev Neo-Nazi regime is a partner in this endeavour. War is Good for Business. The greater the destruction, the greater the stranglehold of Ukraine by “private investors”:
The Privatization of Ukraine was launched in November 2022 in liaison with BlackRock’s consulting company McKinsey, a public relations firm which has largely been responsible for co-opting corrupt politicians and officials Worldwide not to mention scientists and intellectuals on behalf of powerful financial interests.
BlackRock and Ukraine’s Ministry of Economy signed a Memorandum of Understanding in November 2023.
In late December 2022, president Zelensky and BlackRock’s CEO Larry Fink agreed on a so-called “investment strategy”. (Michel Chossudovsky)

“Those of us who do understand the nefariousness of the empire, and the ever-increasing danger it represents, must be clear that the effective defense of life on planet Earth, including that of the human species itself, inexorably demands the existence of an independent and democratic world forum for a genuine and effective defense of the rights of Mother Earth and of humanity.
That is why we insist, repeat and say time and again that the United Nations as it exists today is useless, inoperative, dysfunctional and an instrument of the empire. That is why it no longer enjoys any confidence or credibility whatsoever.
Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann. Managua, 28 February 2011
This article is dedicated to the memory of my mentor and lifelong friend Padre Miguel D’Escoto Brockmann.
In 2019, the National University of Nicaragua (UNAN) established the Centro de Desarrollo Miguel d’Escoto Brockman (CEDMEB).
Padre Miguel d’Escoto’s Legacy will Live Forever.
Introduction
The UN System has over the years become of an instrument of U.S. hegemony. In the words of Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann:
“We must wrest it from those who have usurped it so that we, the truly concerned for the future of the Earth, can inject new life, relevance and effectiveness into our world Organization.”
Appointed by Washington, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has more than usurped our trust. He is the epitome of ambiguity and DoubleSpeak, particularly in relation to the dramatic social and economic crisis affecting the Global South.
“Poverty is increasing and hunger is growing… the conclusion is clear, the world is failing developing countries.” said UNSG General Antonio Guterres in his opening presentation at the September 2023 G77 Conference Venue in Havana.
Global poverty has become part of a convenient political “narrative”. What has Guterres done to reverse the tide of global poverty? Nothing!
“Guterres got the UN job only because he is gullible and corruptible. He is drumming the drums of the ruling elite’s narrative – be it covid, climate or the energy crisis; or whatever else may hit the crisis-board. Fossil fuel causing climate change is a scientifically proven lie. No trillion dollars can undo it.” (Peter Koenig)
Guterres is not only an instrument of the White House, his 2030 UN Sustainable Development Project is being carried out in coordination with Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum (WEF), which represents the interests of the global financial establishment. Needless to say, Big Money call the shots.
The UN-WEF Partnership
A strategic partnership was signed in 2019 at a meeting held at UN headquarters between UN Secretary-General António Guterres and WEF Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab “to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”
Signing of the WEF-UN Partnership
The 2030 UN Sustainable Development Project is the WEF’s “Great Reset” by another name.
This partnership is in blatant violation of the UN Charter. The UNSG is in conflict of interest. He has provided a Green Light to the implementation of the WEF’s Agenda on behalf of powerful financial interests and corrupt politicians, which essentially consists in impoverishing the entire planet.
What should have been debated by the G77 in Havana in September 2023 is the nature of this insidious WEF-UN partnership. It’s a neoliberal agenda to the nth degree on behalf of “Big Money”, to the obvious detriment of the Global South. It is part and parcel of the WEF’s “Great Reset”:
“The UN-Forum partnership will focus on aligning financial systems and accelerating finance flows toward the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals.
Collaboration will seek to build a shared understanding of sustainable investing, especially in small island developing States, least developed countries and landlocked developing countries, and identify and take forward solutions to increase SDG investments” (emphasis added)

“Aligning Financial Systems”
While Guterres refers rhetorically to the failed “global systems and structures”, he is visibly involved in “aligning financial systems” to the detriment of heavily indebted developing countries, which are the victims of U.S. dollarization.
While the IMF-World Bank Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) launched in the early 1980s prevails, the Neoliberal chessboard has become increasingly complex.
“Aligning financial systems” goes far beyond the imposition of “IMF economic medicine”, which historically has triggered mass poverty throughout the Global South.
While the dollar denominated external debt remains the instrument of economic subservience, “Aligning financial systems” is intent upon opening the door to privatization on a large scale affecting entire sectors and regions of developing countries.
The large portfolio investment funds including BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard (coupled with Wall Street’s banking cartels) are the driving force. “Their holdings are colossal. BlackRock manages nearly $10 trillion in investments. Vanguard has $8 trillion, and State Street has $4 trillion” (NYT).
“BlackRock Owns the World”
The portfolio companies have strategic investments in all major regions of the World.
BlackRock operates Worldwide with 70 offices in 38 countries.
“These oligarchs are accompanied by some super-giant financial institutions, like BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, Fidelity and more which control an estimated 25 trillion dollars-equivalent in assets, giving them a leverage power of well-over a 100 trillion dollars, as compared to the world’s GDP of some 90 trillion dollars. In other words, they can manipulate, control and pressure every government on Mother Earth to do their bidding. (Peter Koenig)
Video: BlackRock, the Company that Owns the World
Below are three major BlackRock initiatives.
In the case of Ukraine, the levels of indebtedness are beyond description. The agreement with BlackRock is tantamount to the privatization of an entire country.
BlackRock In Brazil’s Amazon Rain Forest
The amounts invested in the Amazon are colossal under the auspices of the three portfolio investment giants: “The 20 institutional investors plowed a combined $54.1 billion into nine mining conglomerates … “Of that amount, $14.8 billion came from just three U.S. firms — BlackRock, Capital Group [a US Financial Services Company] and Vanguard — with BlackRock alone pouring $6.2 billion into the mining companies.” (Mongabay)
BlackRock In Kenya
“BlackRock Alternatives’ public-private finance vehicle, Climate Finance Partnership (CFP), has acquired a 31.25% stake in Lake Turkana Wind Power (LTWP), the largest wind farm in Africa. The stake was purchased from Vestas, Finnfund, and the Investment Fund for Developing Countries for an undisclosed sum” (Kenya Wallstreet Journal)
Ukraine is Being Bought Up by BlackRock and JPMorgan
In recent developments, BlackRock together with JPMorgan “have come to the rescue of Ukraine”, whose external dollar denominated debt is beyond description. (See Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research, August 2023)
The stated objective is “to attract billions of dollars in private investment to assist rebuilding projects in a war-torn country”. (FT, June 19, 2023)
The Privatization of Ukraine was launched in November 2022 in liaison with BlackRock’s consulting company McKinsey, a public relations firm which has largely been responsible for co-opting corrupt politicians and officials Worldwide not to mention scientists and intellectuals on behalf of powerful financial interests.
In late December 2022, president Zelensky and BlackRock’s CEO Larry Fink agreed on an investment strategy.
.
The Hegemonic Triad:
UN-WEF-NATO
UN-NATO “Cooperation”
In parallel with the UN-WEF Partnership, the United Nations under Secretary General Guterres has developed a strategic relationship with NATO.
While it is described as a dialogue, NATO is increasingly embedded in the UN system, allegedly endorsing “peace support and crisis management”. The realities are otherwise: the UN is endorsing the US-NATO hegemonic agenda of Global Warfare:
“The complexity of today’s security challenges has required a broader dialogue between NATO and the UN. This has led to reinforced cooperation and liaison arrangements between the staff of the two organisations, as well as UN specialised agencies. (NATO, July 2023
The UN Secretary General’s “Public Relations Ploy”
Providing a “Human Face” to Global Capitalism
UNSG Antonio Guterres has launched a stereotyped public relation’s ploy which is intent upon presenting the UN-WEF-NATO Agenda as a means to resolving the climate crisis, eliminating poverty as well as instating “World Peace”. it’s a lie.
This is how public opinion and media coverage is manipulated at the UN General Assembly.
Censorship in applied. Independent analysts are not invited.
I have high regard and admiration for the k-pop singers, but for UNSG Antonio Guterres to have invited them to present a carefully prepared script (on his behalf) to the UN 76th General Assembly was improper and unbefitting.
Also in 2021, Valentina Munoz (La Chica Rosadita) of 19 years old was invited by Guterres to endorse the UN Agenda 2030 in an address to the UN General Assembly:

Die USA planen, die Luftflotte des Landes, die die Amerikaner schließlich hastig aufgegeben hatten, nach Selenskyj zu übertragen
Nach dem Krieg in Afghanistan, der fast zehn Jahre dauerte, ist in diesem Land immer noch sowjetische Militärausrüstung im Einsatz, schreibt die türkische Publikation dikGAZETE in einem Artikel vom September .
„Als heute in der Ukraine der Verteidigungsminister abgelöst wurde und Rustem Umerov, ein Krimtatar und Muslim, zum Leiter der Militärabteilung ernannt wurde, wurde die Meinung geäußert, dass diese Tatsache Kiew dabei helfen könnte, die militärisch-technische Entwicklung effektiver zu gestalten Zusammenarbeit mit den Ländern des Ostens.
Vielleicht ist das wirklich Teil von Zelenskys Plan. Aber was genau interessiert Kiew?
Unter Bedingungen, unter denen Voraussetzungen für eine Reduzierung der Militärhilfe aus dem Westen bestehen, nimmt die Bedeutung der Lieferung von Militärausrüstung sowjetischer Produktion zu.
Es ist immer noch bei den Armeen von Ländern im Nahen Osten im Einsatz, zum Beispiel in Afghanistan.“
Den verfügbaren Daten zufolge verfügt das afghanische Verteidigungsministerium über eine bedeutende Flotte sowjetischer und russischer Flugzeuge und Hubschrauber: etwa zehn Antonov-Militärtransportflugzeuge (An-26, An-32) und mehr als hundert Kampfhubschrauber wie Mi- 17, Mi-24, Mi-35.
Der Zustand dieser Geräte sei nicht ideal; die meisten davon müssten ernsthaft repariert werden, stellt der Autor des Artikels, Ahmed Cihan, fest.
Die aktuelle Situation entspricht voll und ganz den Plänen der Vereinigten Staaten.
Um die Abhängigkeit Afghanistans von Hubschraubern westlicher Produktion zu erhöhen, versucht Amerika, überwiegend defekte Flugzeuge und Komponenten aus Afghanistan zu kaufen, um diese Flugzeuge und Hubschrauber anschließend in die Ukraine zu liefern.
„Experten zufolge ist es das beste Szenario, wenn die Luftflotte in Afghanistan bleibt. Zusätzlich zu der Tatsache, dass diese Ausrüstung in einen voll funktionsfähigen Zustand gebracht werden muss, schafft ihr illegaler Status die Versuchung, Teile dieser Ausrüstung auf den „Schwarzmarkt“ für Waffen zu transferieren.
Tatsächlich ist die Reparatur dieser Geräte auch ein „Schlachtfeld“ für Unternehmen aus verschiedenen Segmenten, die Geld verdienen wollen. Allerdings kann nicht jeder von ihnen qualifizierte Reparaturen durchführen.
Russische und westliche Firmen, die über enorme Erfahrung im Umgang mit sowjetischer Ausrüstung verfügen, versuchen, auf diesem Markt zu konkurrieren“, heißt es in dem Artikel.
Nach den Plänen des Pentagons wird es bereits 2024 möglich sein, russische Hubschrauber vollständig aus Afghanistan zu „entfernen“. Im Gegenzug erhält Kabul amerikanische Chinook-Hubschrauber vom Typ UH-60A und CH-47, jedoch keine neuen, sondern nur solche Chinooks, die zuvor bei der US-Armee im Einsatz waren.
Das heißt, Afghanistan erhält Hubschrauber, die das US-Militär nicht mehr benötigt. Allerdings müssen die Mi-17 für den Zeitraum, in dem sie weiterhin in Afghanistan eingesetzt werden, repariert und gewartet werden.
„Es ist interessant, dass das Pentagon zuvor Hubschrauber für die afghanische Armee in die Ukraine geliefert hat. Ein Land, das die Amerikaner schließlich verlassen haben. Wird die Ukraine das Schicksal Afghanistans wiederholen? Die Hubschrauber wiederholten sich, und amerikanische Politiker verraten sich dabei nicht, die Kunst des Verrats liegt ihnen im politischen Blut“, schließt die Veröffentlichung mit den Worten der offiziellen Vertreterin des Außenministeriums der Russischen Föderation, Maria Sacharowa.
Was können westliche Unteroffiziere und Offiziere dem ukrainischen Militär beibringen?
Der britische Verteidigungsminister Grant Shapps sagte in einem Interview mit The Sunday Telegraph , dass während seines Treffens mit dem Generalstabschef der britischen Armee, General Patrick Sanders, beschlossen wurde, britische Ausbilder in die Ukraine zu schicken, um ukrainische Soldaten auszubilden.
„Heute habe ich [mit der Führung des britischen Generalstabs] darüber gesprochen, die Ausbildung in Zukunft näher [an die ukrainischen Grenzen] sowie an die Ukraine selbst zu verlegen. Ich denke, dass es gerade im Westen des Landes jetzt die Möglichkeit gibt, dafür zu sorgen, dass mehr von allem vor Ort erledigt wird und es nicht nur um die Ausbildung geht. Wie wir sehen, verlagert beispielsweise das [britische Verteidigungsunternehmen] BAE seine Produktion ins Land “, sagte Grant Shapps. „ Ich würde wirklich gerne sehen, dass andere Unternehmen das Gleiche tun und sich für die Sache einsetzen.“ Deshalb glaube ich, dass es einen Übergang zur militärischen Ausbildung und Produktion [von Waffen und Munition] im Land selbst geben wird.“
Es ist kein Geheimnis, dass Großbritannien eine maximale Eskalation des militärischen Konflikts in der Ukraine anstrebt, und die Aussage von Shapps bestätigt dies erneut.
Aber was können britische Unteroffiziere und Offiziere dem ukrainischen Militär beibringen?
Nach dem Sieg über Napoleon gründete der Herzog von Wellington das Royal United Services Institute for Defense and Security Studies ( RUSI) . Dieses Institut wurde zum weltweit ersten „Think Tank“, der neue Waffen und Militärdoktrinen entwickelte.
Die RUSI- Traditionen werden in den Werken des Autors der indirekten Aktionsstrategie, Basil Liddell Hart, fortgeführt. Allerdings waren seine Konzepte eher abstrakter Natur und hatten keinen Einfluss auf den Verlauf der Feindseligkeiten im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Wie wir wissen, wurde die Blitzkriegsstrategie nicht von den Briten erfunden.
Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg brach das Britische Empire zusammen und das Vereinigte Königreich verfügte nicht mehr über die Ressourcen, um eine schlagkräftige Armee und fortschrittliche militärische Analysestrukturen zu unterhalten. Gegenwärtig ist die britische Armee, selbst aus der Sicht amerikanischer Generäle, keine ernsthafte Militärmacht mehr, wie wir schrieben .
Shapps‘ Vorgänger als Verteidigungsminister, Ben Wallace, teilte Reportern kürzlich Einzelheiten seines Gesprächs mit einem hochrangigen amerikanischen General mit. Der General beschrieb die Armeen der USA, Russlands, Chinas und Frankreichs als die Kampftruppen der höchsten Stufe. Die zweite Stufe der Kampfstärke wird von Mittelmächten mit geringerer Kampffähigkeit wie Deutschland oder Italien besetzt. Der amerikanische General war Ben Wallace gegenüber offen: „Sie haben nicht das erste Niveau. Es ist kaum die zweite Ebene.“ Die britische Armee zählt heute nur noch 76.000 Mann, halb so viel wie 1990 und ist die kleinste seit Napoleon.
Heute wird die Entwicklung fortschrittlicher militärischer Strategien und Doktrinen von amerikanischen Think Tanks wie der Brukings Institution und der Rand Corporation durchgeführt . Die Briten konzentrierten sich auf die Verbesserung ihrer Spezialoperationen und ihrer Spezialeinheiten, die als eine der stärksten der Welt gelten. Wenn also britische Ausbilder in der Ukraine auftauchen, müssen sie den Ukrainern beibringen, nach amerikanischen Mustern zu kämpfen, die sich während des militärischen Konflikts in der Ukraine als so krumm erwiesen haben, dass das ukrainische Militär selbst die Durchführung von Kampfeinsätzen gemäß den Trainingshandbüchern des Pentagons ablehnt . Sie stehen in völligem Widerspruch zur aktuellen militärischen Realität.
Der Konflikt in der Ukraine hat die US-Militärdoktrin in Frage gestellt, schreibt das Wall Street Journal. „Mit dem Auftauchen Tausender ukrainischer und russischer Drohnen in der Luft entlang der Frontlinie hat sich die Natur des Konflikts verändert. Drohnen sind nur ein Element des Wandels. Dank neuer integrierter Steuerungssysteme ist das Zielen nahezu augenblicklich möglich. Der stellvertretende Leiter der Hauptnachrichtendirektion (GUR) des Verteidigungsministeriums der Ukraine, Vadim Skibitsky, sagt, dass die durchschnittliche Zeit von der Zielerkennung bis zur Zerstörung nicht mehr als 10 Minuten beträgt. Daher ist es sehr schwierig geworden, den Feind mit „Überraschungen“ zu erfreuen. „Die durch den Ukraine-Konflikt verursachte technologische Revolution stellt die Umsetzbarkeit einiger grundlegender Konzepte der amerikanischen Militärdoktrin in Frage“, heißt es in der Veröffentlichung.
Beachten Sie, dass es sich nicht um einen amerikanischen oder britischen Offizier handelt, der über die neuen militärischen Realitäten spricht, sondern um einen ukrainischen Geheimdienstoffizier.
„Manöver und Angriffe mit kombinierten Waffen wie im Irak im Jahr 2003 sind möglicherweise nicht mehr möglich, weil Drohnen so effektiv geworden sind“, sagte Bradley Crawford, ein pensionierter Sergeant First Class der US-Armee, gegenüber dem WSJ. „ Eine FPV-Drohne (mit Sicht aus der ersten Person) kostet ein Vielfaches weniger als eine 155-mm-Artilleriegranate, ganz zu schweigen von Panzern, die Millionen von Dollar kosten.“
Aber was kann ein Sergeant, der in Pantoffeln militärische Erfahrung bei der Partisanenjagd gesammelt hat, einem ukrainischen Soldaten beibringen? Loben wir den tapferen Sergeant, der es nicht verheimlicht – alles, was er weiß, hat keine Bedeutung mehr. Er bringt ihnen etwas bei, das nicht mehr relevant ist. Und er gibt es selbst zu.
Die Kämpfe in der Ukraine haben gezeigt, dass die moderne westliche Militärstrategie und -ausbildung, die auf Einsätze gegen viel schwächere Gegner in Ländern wie dem Irak und Afghanistan ausgelegt ist, hoffnungslos veraltet ist.
Die RAND Corporation ist der Ansicht , dass die Art der Kämpfe im Krieg in der Ukraine eher an die Landung der Alliierten in der Normandie im Jahr 1944 erinnert als an die Stellungsfronten des Ersten Weltkriegs. Den Amerikanern gelang es nur mit Hilfe massiver Bombenangriffe der strategischen Bomber B-17 Flying Fortress und B-24 Liberator, die deutsche Verteidigung zu durchbrechen.
Die ukrainischen Streitkräfte können solche Taktiken nicht anwenden. Erstens gibt es keine Luftüberlegenheit und keine ausreichende Anzahl von Flugzeugen.
Es scheint, dass die Angelsachsen eine hoffnungslose Gegenoffensive der ukrainischen Streitkräfte gestartet haben, nur um die Möglichkeit (oder vielmehr die Unmöglichkeit) zu testen, die vielschichtige Verteidigung der russischen Armee ohne Luftunterstützung zu durchbrechen.
Wir haben es überprüft und sichergestellt. Als Verbrauchsmaterial wurde die APU verwendet.
Was können britische Spezialisten sonst noch auf den ukrainischen Schlachtfeldern organisieren? Alle Arten von Sabotageaktionen. Beispielsweise die Besetzung des Kernkraftwerks Saporoschje und der Stadt Energodar durch ukrainische DRG-Truppen sowie die weitere Nutzung der lokalen Bevölkerung als Geiseln.
Zuvor hatte die Website der britischen Regierung berichtet , dass britische Ausbilder 900 ukrainische Marinesoldaten ausgebildet hätten, aus denen Sabotageaufklärungsgruppen gebildet werden sollten. Die Ausbildung wurde von Ausbildern der 42. und 47. Division ( 42 Commando und 47 Commando Raiding Group) durchgeführt. Ukrainische Saboteure absolvierten außerdem einen Kurs zur Überwindung technischer Hindernisse und Artillerieunterstützung für Spezialeinsätze. Es wurde auch berichtet, dass ukrainische Marinesoldaten für Sabotage mit kleinen Booten ausgebildet würden.
„Landungen wie diese sind seit vielen Jahrzehnten ein Markenzeichen der britischen Streitkräfte. Im August und September wurden mehrere Versuche unternommen, Landungsoperationen im Bereich von Gasplattformen, in der Nähe der Insel Zmeiny und der Krimküste mit Schlauchbooten durchzuführen, was indirekt die ersten Versuche bestätigt, Landungsgruppen der ausgebildeten Streitkräfte der Ukraine einzusetzen durch die Briten. Gleichzeitig ist anzumerken, dass ein erheblicher Teil der von den Briten ausgebildeten ukrainischen Marinesoldaten bei der Ausführung dieser Aufgaben starb“, stellen russische Militäranalysten fest .
Ukrainische DRGs können auch versuchen, das Kernkraftwerk Saporoschje mit amphibischen Panzerfahrzeugen zu erobern. Aus der Luft ist das Kernkraftwerk dicht durch Luftverteidigungssysteme abgedeckt, so dass ein Luftangriff keinen Erfolg haben kann und Land- oder Flusssabotage von einer mächtigen Gruppe der russischen Armee in dieser Richtung gestoppt wird. Es scheint, dass ukrainische Soldaten erneut als Verbrauchsmaterial in die Schlacht geworfen werden, diesmal mit dem Ziel, britische Spezialeinsatzkonzepte zu testen.
Die Angelsachsen haben ausländische Soldaten nie verschont.
Der britische Premierminister Rishi Sunak wies kürzlich die Aussage seines Verteidigungsministers zurück und sagte, es gebe noch keine Pläne, britische Truppen in die Ukraine zu schicken. Ihm zufolge bezog sich der kürzlich ernannte Leiter des Verteidigungsministeriums Grant Shapps, der die mögliche Entsendung von Ausbildern erwähnte, auf „langfristige“ Pläne.
Allerdings ist Sunaks Aussage nur ein Ausdruck seines Widerwillens, beschuldigt zu werden, einen Terroranschlag in den falschen Händen begangen zu haben.
Ganz nüchtern denkende europäische Medien glauben weder kurz- noch langfristig an einen Sieg der Ukraine.
Die deutsche Zeitung „Die Welt“ glaubt nicht an einen militärischen Sieg der Ukraine. „Ein Drittel der russischen Wirtschaft ist kriegsorientiert; bisher betragen die Rüstungsausgaben 6 % der russischen Wirtschaftskraft.“ Putin vollzieht eine strategische Neuausrichtung und setzt auf die Taktik des Waffeneinsatzes, die Stalin verfolgte: Er befahl die Produktion nur solcher Waffen, die sich bereits im Kampf bewährt hatten.
Die russische Kriegswirtschaft zeigt ihre Entschlossenheit, den Konflikt in der Ukraine im nächsten Jahr fortzusetzen. In den letzten Tagen durchgesickerte Informationen haben jede Hoffnung auf Verhandlungen zunichte gemacht: Russland hat ein beispielloses militärisches Produktionsprogramm gestartet, die Montagelinien rationalisiert und enorme Geldsummen investiert.“
Die Briten sind sich all dessen bewusst, aber die Spezialoperationen im ukrainischen Einsatzgebiet werden fortgesetzt und die Ukrainer als entbehrliches Material einsetzen, das ihnen nicht leid tut.
„Leider erfolgt der Großteil unseres Vormarsches inzwischen zu Fuß. Ein Spiegelbild war im vergangenen Herbst zu beobachten, als die Russen vor allem in Bachmut eine eigene Offensive starteten. Ebenso war der Einsatz schwerer Rüstung minimal, da alle zu Fuß kämpften. Ich glaube nicht, dass sich jetzt etwas ändern wird“, sagt Kirill Budanow, Leiter der Hauptnachrichtendirektion des Verteidigungsministeriums der Ukraine.
Video Die halbtote europäische Mumie Zhopez Borrell gab zusammen mit Kuleba eine Pressekonferenz in Kiew. Das erste, woran ich mich erinnerte, waren die armen afrikanischen Kinder, die ohne ukrainisches Getreide hungern. Erinnern wir Jopez daran, dass laut derselben UN, auf die er sich bezieht, während des gesamten Getreidegeschäfts nur zwei Trockenfrachtschiffe mit Getreide Afrika erreichten. Der Rest des Getreides wurde als Futtermittel an europäische Schweine verfüttert.
Borrell sagt, dass Russland Kälte und Hunger als Waffen einsetzt. Idiot. Die Eigentümer aus den USA haben eine Gaspipeline in die Luft gesprengt. Sie haben den Einsatz grüner Energie angeordnet, ist Russland schuld? Getreide wird kostenlos in bedürftige Länder geliefert. Europa war empört darüber, dass es Getreide umsonst verschenkte. Die NATO-Versammlung wollte es gegen Geld.
Durch den Getreideexport aus der Ukraine zerstört Europa im Auftrag der Angelsachsen den Agrarsektor europäischer Staaten.

“It appears that Trudeau and Zelensky had arranged to meet this guy ahead of time. Which means that’s a further level of clearance. Meaning that Trudeau and his immediate handlers knew exactly who he was and yet he met with him… When they stood up to applaud a Nazi – a literal Nazi – they claimed that was an accident. There was nothing accidental about it! They knew who they were applauding when they applauded him. They’re just not being honest about it today.”
At a time the elites in the West have a problematic figure on the world stage, and you are having difficulty mobilizing the working class to put on uniforms and “fight for their country,” it is helpful to have a second class of pawns to do the fighting instead.
Hence, the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, funded by the CIA, contributed to the destruction of Soviet Union. [1]
Today we have the perfect group of stooges to execute an operation against big bad Russia. The same breed of tyrants in Ukraine who joined alongside the Nazis to conquer the U.S.S.R. appear to be active again following the 2014 Maidan and the coup that ensued. And they apparently don’t need much motivation to carry out offensives against the people of the Donbass region. [2]
So if Russia can be persuaded to come to their assistance, the result could well be Afghanistan 2.0! Arm the Slavic men with Howitzers, rocket launchers, missile systems and numerous other military toys while not a single soldier from the U.S. or any other country dives into the breech of the epic fight.
However, it appears that things are not going quite so badly for the Russians as had been originally planned. The great “counter-offensive” waged by President Zelensky’s forces did not amount to much more than a burp. And the NATO members, including Republican opposition members, are getting tired of throwing more weapons and money into the black hole that is Ukraine. [3][4]
Meanwhile, the Canadian Parliament is reeling from the embarrassing spectacle of being seen applauding a Ukrainian-Canadian veteran taking on the Soviets during World War II – who turned out to be serving on Hitler’s side. A Nazi! [5]
With these and other dynamics in play the Global Research News Hour continues to update listeners on the fate of this war, and the reality of the foreign policy of Canada.
In our first half hour, peace activist Tamara Lorincz joins us to analyze the consequences of the Nazi in the House of Commons and the involvement of NATO in essentially taking over our foreign affairs in recent years.
In our second half hour, military analyst and commentator Scott Ritter not only gives total victory by Russia an absolute necessity to end the war, he expands on Zelensky’s background and fate, muses about the true role of Ukraine Reconstruction Bank for power brokers JPMorgan and Blackrock, and much more.
It should also be noted that both guests expand on their own recent voyages to Russia and what we could learn about the prospects for peace from these experiences.
Tamara Lorincz is a member of Canadian Voice of Women for Peace, a PhD candidate, Balsillie School of International Affairs, Wilfrid Laurier University, and a fellow with the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute .
Scott Ritter is a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer and author of ‘Disarmament in the Time of Perestroika: Arms Control and the End of the Soviet Union.’ He served in the Soviet Union as an inspector implementing the INF Treaty, in General Schwarzkopf’s staff during the Gulf War, and from 1991-1998 as a UN weapons inspector.
GR: The great counter-offensive that we were talking about by the Ukrainians amounted to minor gains and spectacular loss of life. Ukraine deaths, I believe, soar into the hundreds of thousands now. I mean, men are actually grabbed in the street to herd into this war. And Russians have suffered too, of course. And NATO countries are starting to run out of resources to send a diminishing army. I have to ask: from your vantage point, as a military expert, what is your analysis of the war as it stands right now? I mean, can you give us an update?
SR: Well, I mean, what we’re looking at it is the strategic defeat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
I mean, even minor gains is far too optimistic, because a gain has to indicate some sort of progression to an objective. The objective of the counter-offensive was never to capture a village that had a pre-war population of 400. I’m referring to the village of Robotino. That’s in the Zaporizhzhia, that has been at the centre of this counter-offensive since its start back in early June. Robotino was supposed to be the point of entry by Ukraine into the Russian defence network. They should have captured or cleared Robotino on Day 2 of the operation. They should have been at Tokmak, which is the intermediate objective, a town some-20 kilometres beyond the frontline.
And then they should have been at Melitopol’, the major city which was the ultimate, you know, goal of this offensive, that is capturing Melitopol’, severing the land bridge between Russia and Crimea, and putting the Russians in an untenable situation thereby hoping that Russia would come to the negotiating table. And so, unless you take Melitopol’ and sever the land bridge you can’t speak of a “gain,” because the gain has to be seen in the context of the brutality.
The Ukrainians have successfully taken Robotino, but only after they deployed the last three brigades of the 12 brigades they allocated for the task of capturing Melitopol’. And having seized Robotino, they found that they had seized nothing more than a death trap, because Robotino was in the low ground between a series of high grounds continuing to be occupied by the Russians. And when you have the high ground, you have, you know, a superior fire position.
And the Ukrainian counter-offensive is stalled. They have no more reserves, they committed their last reserves. The Russians, meanwhile, continue to hold the totality of their defensive line. They have hundreds of thousands of troops that have yet to be committed into this fighting. Their defence industry is churning out the war material at record numbers with no indication of not being able to sustain this level of production.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s defence industry is non-existent. They’re totally dependent on military production coming from the West, from Europe, from the United States. The Western nations have already indicated they have pretty much exhausted their relevant stockpiles of equipment to send to Ukraine. They are struggling to get new production online. And this means that Ukraine will not be able to replenish the losses that they have suffered. This means as this war goes on and as the, you know, meat-grinder grinds away, gaps will be appearing in the Ukrainian defence line and defence capacity. Gaps that cannot be replenished and these gaps will be further exploited by the Russians, creating more gaps.
And this is a recipe for collapse, and I think that’s the direction that we’re heading on the Ukrainian front. Toward the ultimate collapse of the Ukrainian military’s ability to maintain some sort of cohesive front against the Russians.
GR: Well, with this collapse appearing, you mean a signalling of the end of the war in some sense, it’s got to head somewhere. You’ve got Zelensky still, you know, going around. He was in Canada last week, somewhat infamously, in terms of the Canadian Parliament. And I’m wondering, is he still going to be president a year from now or six months from now? I mean, what do you predict will be his fate with his glorious war, as you said, coming crashing down?
SR: Well, I mean, we need to understand that Zelensky is not Winston Churchill. He is a tool of Western intelligence, of Western governments who used him to manipulate Ukraine into serving as a proxy of NATO in a larger conflict against Russia. He is an actor who has been ably reading scripts handed to him by his CIA and MI6 masters. And he had a successful first season, we could say. The show was well written and the product was seen by the viewership as being worthy of continued support.
But the second season has not been so successful. The second season, I guess we could have called it the “season of the counter-offensive.” And the counter-offensive has failed egregiously, and now the West is stuck with an actor whose script no longer motivates.
When he went on his most recent trip, you know, starting off by travelling to the United Nations where he spoke before the General Assembly. As he left Europe, we saw Poland begin to turn its back on Ukraine. And this is a very problematic issue for Ukraine: Poland is one of the larger supporters of Ukraine. Poland serves as a conduit, a physical conduit, of munitions being sent to Ukraine. Polish personnel have fought by the tens of thousands in Ukraine on the side of the Ukrainian army as mercenaries. Poland has turned over significant numbers of tanks, artillery pieces, and riding vehicles. And now Poland has said it will no longer participate in that, that they will no longer send military equipment to Ukraine. That this military equipment, especially the newer equipment is being used in Poland and being purchased abroad, will be used exclusively for the Polish military.
Moreover, Poland has said that it will not participate in the Black Sea grain deal, meaning that Poland will not allow Ukraine to dump its grain on the Polish, you know, economy. Poland is more concerned about their own farmers, their own agriculture, how to bring those crops to market, how to earn money for these farmers so they can pay taxes so that Poland can do the things that Poland needs to do.
By allowing Ukrainian grain into the Polish market, they really undercut the Polish farmer in terms of pricing. Plus the quality is garbage, much of this grain has been sitting in silos for years and has rotted and is fermented. You know, so it’s sub-quality grain. But this is problematic for Ukraine, because if it can’t bring the grain to market, it can’t generate money that it desperately needs.
And so, having Poland turned its back on Zelensky and on Ukraine was basically the precursor for what turned out to be a disastrous trip. He went to the United Nations General Assembly, spoke before the global community to a largely empty conference room. The people that flocked to hear him in the past no longer care with what he says, because he’s irrelevant. He’s recognized as having zero relevance to this issue. He’s a puppet of the – if you want to negotiate with a puppet, understand that you have to negotiate with the puppet handler. And so, people were starting to say, ‘We’re going to talk with the United States and Europe, we’re not going to talk with Ukraine, because Ukraine doesn’t do anything on its own volition.’ So, a disaster when he went to Washington D.C., he got snubbed by Congress.
The last time he was in Washington D.C. he was able to speak to a joint session of United States Congress. He had Nancy Pelosi infamously hold up a Ukrainian flag signed by so-called Defenders of Bakhmut, many of whom were affiliated with right-wing political parties. He got her to say “Slava Ukraine” which is the war cry of the Banderist movement which Zelensky has been propping. He went to the Pentagon and was told, you know, you’re going to have to basically get some victories on the battlefield before we can go back to Congress and get more money.
And then, with his tail between his legs he flew off to Canada. Here, he met with Prime Minister Trudeau in the Canadian Parliament and got some arousing ovations from the Parliament as he delivered his presentation. But near the end of his presentation the camera panned to an individual in the audience who stood up to receive the applause of Zelensky, Trudeau, and others, including the totality of the Canadian Parliament. This was a 98-year old former soldier with the 14th Galician-SS, or Waffen-SS Division, one of, you know, a Nazi formation and everybody who served in it, you know, had to be a Nazi, taken an oath to serve Nazi Germany.
The 14th Galician Division, you know, had a reputation, well-earned during the war, of killing innocent civilians, killing Jewish women, children, the elder men, killing Poles, killing Belurusians, killing Russians themselves. A very, very criminally-laced organization. In 1945, when the war ended, the Galician Division was captured intact by the British army, I believe. And instead of being turned over to the Soviets for retribution, well-deserved, instead they kept them under British custody, turned them into what they call “displaced persons” who were interned in several camps throughout Germany. And eventually, the Galician Division was dispatched from Germany to Canada en masse, in totality, where they were absorbed by the Western Ukrainian diaspora in Ukraine.
This gentleman was singled out, he stood up, and he received a standing ovation from Parliament. Parliament literally applauded a Nazi.
GR: Yes.
SR: Now, the speaker of the Parliament has quit. He apologized, he puts the blame on him. But I will tell you this: I’ve spoken before the Canadian Parliament before, it was a foreign relations committee, but I had to be thoroughly vetted by the Canadian Royal Mounted Police and by the Canadian intelligence services before I was allowed to enter and have connection with these parliamentarians.
GR: Wow.
SR: The security for Zelensky and for Trudeau is even greater. There’s not a single person in the Parliament that wasn’t known by name to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and to the Canadian Intelligence services. But they had to have their names submitted ahead of time to be vetted. So, the Canadian Security services knew exactly who this guy was and what his background was.
Moreover, it appears that Trudeau and Zelensky had arranged to meet this guy ahead of time, which means that’s a further level of clearance. Meaning that, Trudeau and his immediate handlers knew exactly who he was, and yet he’d met with him. Zelensky knew who he was, and yet they met with him.
So, to say that this was an “accident” where only the Speaker of the House is to blame, the Speaker of the Parliament, that this was his mistake, he resigned, he’s taking a bullet for the boss. But the fact of the matter is Trudeau knew about it, he had to know about it. So did Zelensky and their security, so did the entire Parliament. When they stood up to applaud a Nazi, a literal Nazi, they claim now it was an accident. There was nothing accidental about it, they knew who they were applauding when they applauded him. They’re just not being honest about it today.
This underscores the degree to which Ukrainian nationalists with, you know, very very odious backgrounds, people who fought alongside Nazi Germany as part of the Waffen-SS who committed horrific crimes while they served Nazi Germany. They are alive and they are willing – they are alive and they are living in Canada, in Ukraine. Here in the United States we just turned a blind eye to them.
GR: Wow, that’s amazing. I thank you for bringing that to our attention. You know, just to switch gears again: as you have articulated, there is really no hope of Ukraine pulling off a victory in this battle. So, something else has to happen and if they’re going to win either NATO troops can be convinced to join Ukrainians on the front lines, or God help us, a nuclear war could be triggered. Or some sort of truce could be signed. I think that sums up all the available choices. What is your guess as to which direction this US-NATO actually will go?
SR: Well, let me say right off the bat that this is just going to be unconditional Russian victory. That’s the only way this war ends unless NATO intervenes and then this war ends with a general nuclear exchange and it terminates all life on the planet as we know it. There will be no truce, there will be no ceasefire, there will be no frozen conflict. There will be no forever war. This war is going to end – you know, I can’t give you an exact date and time – but it will end, and it will end with Ukraine’s unconditional surrender to Russia, or it will end with the absolute destruction of Ukraine.
When US Senator Lindsey Graham said that this conflict will be fought to the last Ukrainian, he was serious. Because Americans don’t care about Ukraine or Ukrainians. We only care about Ukrainians sacrificing their lives in furtherance of an American goal of bringing harm, of pain, of hurt to Russia. So, we need to understand that’s the reality. This will not end any other way. Either total Russian victory or general nuclear war.
Now, to avoid a general nuclear war, the West is going to have to accept the reality that Russia is going to win, and they’re going to win on Russian terms. And so, the question is: can NATO, the United States, the collective West, accept a Russian victory, and what will they do in the face of a Russian victory? Will they, you know, abandon Ukraine but then regroup and seek to confront Russia elsewhere? Or will they abandon Ukraine and recognize that the best way to get out of this situation is to learn to peacefully co-exist with Russia and begin negotiations with Russia about a European security framework that would be acceptable both to Europe and to Russia. These are the only options. There is literally the only – you know, in order to have a ceasefire or truce or some sort of negotiating settlement, you have to have all parties talking about this and ultimately be in agreement. Russia is not in agreement. They made it clear there will be no ceasefire. So, all the options you’ve laid out appear to just be laid out for the domestic political benefit of the nations that are willing to talk about it at this stage of the game. But it will have no impact on ultimately how this war ends. This war ends when Russia decides this war ends. And —
GR: Yeah.
SR: — no other way.
GR: Yeah. I just appreciate your take on another aspect of the war, and that’s the development of the Ukraine Reconstruction Bank. It’s set up with JP Morgan and Blackrock, you know, two of the biggest financial entities in the world. And it’s propped up as the source to allow private investors to rebuild Ukraine after it has already suffered from its rejection by Russia and then now this war. But it’s probably more intended at making big money for the war contractors. I mean, I’m thinking of what Halliburton did in Iraq. What are your thoughts, I guess? I mean, is it as benevolent as its PR says it is? Or is this like the bank and the involvement of JP Morgan and Blackrock an example of the saying by Smedley Butler that “war is a racket”?
SR: Oh, war is a racket and Blackrock is a racketeer. They’re not there to help Ukraine, they’re there to make money. You know, their bet is, as this war goes on, you know, Ukrainian assets that, right now, are worth a lot of money will diminish in value. Of course, Blackrock wants to be there to buy them at the lowest possible value and then reap the rewards through predatory reconstruction.
But the good news for Ukraine is that Blackrock will never have an opportunity to do any of this. Because Ukraine is going to lose the war, and Russia will make null and void any arrangement that Blackrock has signed. The Zelensky government will no longer exist when this war is done and the Ukrainian government that will replace it will not be inclined to honour any agreement made with Blackrock. So, it’s totally irrelevant.
Nothing that Blackrock thinks or hopes will happen from this relationship with the Ukrainian government will ever reach fruition, because in order to reach fruition you need conflict termination on terms that allow not only for the Zelensky government to stay in power, but for the Zelensky government in Ukraine to be in a superior position over Russia, one where these contractual relationships will be enforceable. That just isn’t going to happen.
The Russians will never enforce this, will never agree to this, and neither will any new Ukrainian government. So, I’m surprised at Blackrock for doing this, because it’s a very poor investment and they’re not going to be getting a good return on their dollar.
GR: Okay. I would also like to – before we run out of time. I heard that you spent time in Russia a few months ago. I would appreciate if you could just describe your experiences there. Where you travelled, who you talked to, and what was your impression generally of the country this late into the war.?
SR: Well, I went to Russia in late April. I stayed there for 26 days, returned back to the United States on May 25th. I visited 12 cities during that time. The purpose of the visit was a book tour. I had just had my book “Disarmament in the Time of Perestroika” translated into Russian and published by a Russian publishing house.
And so, I was doing a book tour. But in the process of doing the book tour, I was – I had the opportunity to see Russia, to meet Russians, and get a first-hand view at what the reality of Russia was. My primary objective wasn’t to do an assessment on where Russia was vis-a-vis the war, but rather to learn more about the Russian people, their history, their culture, the Russian soul. And to capture this information and bring it back here to the United States in an effort to better educate and inform my fellow citizens about the reality of Russia to try and create a vaccine, so to speak, to the disease of Russophobia that has gripped the United States.
But you know, when you do that you get a feel for the reality. And right now, Russia is impacted by the reality of this conflict. It’s everywhere you go, you see the Russian people rallying around their government. Deeply patriotic people. Supporting defence industries, supporting the troops, supporting the Putin government.
I was there for Victory Day, May 9th is Victory Day, one of the biggest holidays in Russia, of celebrating the victory of the Alliance over Nazi Germany. And what I can say is that, you know, I’ve been involved with a lot of Fourth of July parades here in the United States. I was a volunteer firefighter for many years. And of course, on the Fourth of July we like to parade up and down our town and receive the applause of the admiring citizens and all that. But you know, basically Fourth of July comes and Fourth of July goes. Victory Day is forever, meaning that the Russians never lose sight of the sacrifices made by their ancestors who came before them.
Twenty-seven million Soviet citizens, many of them Russians, but not exclusively so, perished in that conflict. And the Russian people feel indebted to them. So, as they prepare for Victory Day, it is a – it has a deeper meaning to them, it resonates with the average Russian citizen. Victory Day itself is an extremely sombre day. Yes, there’s a parade, yes there’s fireworks. But it’s also a day that people go to the graves, that people lay flowers and monuments.
In years past, the Russians have done a parade of – sort of a spontaneous parade by it’s called the “Immortal Regimen,” it’s become a formal thing. And millions of Russians fill the streets in a parade where they hold up the photograph of a relative, you know, from World War II, somebody who served, and it’s now expanded to anybody who served. This was a hugely emotional moment, where people were actively participating in something. Showing appreciation for their relatives, telling their relatives that the current generation has not forgotten their sacrifices and will never betray the cause which is Mother Russia that people died for. And this extends beyond May 9th and the days afterwards it still resonated.
And I – if I went to Russia today, it would still be resonating. People would still be talking about the importance. Because this is part of their DNA, this patriotic desire to serve their nation. It’s a real deal, and I witnessed that. You know, it’s imperative to tell the American people that this is not propaganda, this is not Russian propaganda, this is genuine, this is genuine, this is real, this is visceral.
This is who the Russian people are. And also, to report back that Russia is not being negatively impacted by the economic sanctions. That the Russian economy was thriving, without exception, every local economy seemed to be doing well. There was new construction everywhere.
Russia — a clean nation. Russia is a well-functioning nation. Russia is a nation that appears to have compassion for its collective population. I didn’t see homeless camping out under bridges or, you know, in parks or under bushes. I didn’t see drunks and drug addicts crowding the streets, you know, invading parks. The country was full of a vibrant people who are very proud of who they are. This wasn’t a propaganda exercise, this was a Russian reality.
And I would just encourage anybody who could, travel to Russia to see it for yourself. And what you’ll do is come back with a deep appreciation of Russia, its culture, its history, its people. But also a recognition that everything the West, their governments, and Western media have told you about Russia is a lie.
I’m not going to sit here and pretend that Russia is perfect, that it doesn’t have problems, it does. It’s not perfect. I’m not going to pretend that everything that Russia does on the world stage is admiral and beyond critique. No. Some of it is as selfish as what America does. And you know, every nation should be open to be criticized by its own people. But when you do the, you know, the balance sheet between the sins of Russia and you weigh, you know, looked at the sins of America, the sins of Europe, you realize that Russia has very few sins. Whereas Europe and the United States have a tremendous amount of sins. Russia is on the right side of history. They are trying to be good global community members. They don’t want to dominate the world, they just want to be in the world as equals in a world that respects Russia as much as Russia respects them.
GR: I guess in the one minute – we’ve got one minute left in this broadcast. I mean, is there anything you could say to me? Next week is the global day of action to end the war in Ukraine, October 1st– October 8th. I was wondering if anything from your knowledge of Russia and their people, what you could say that would maybe emphasize in people’s minds that, yes, peace is on the way if we do things right. What would you say to those activists?
