Alexander mercurious whose last name I just misspelled, states his two rules of diplomacy.

1. Never go to war against Russia/Moscow. Why not? You will lose.

2. Never bluff China, he adds , his own rule.... stating , your bluff will always be called.

But the root cause, why does Little Britain hate Russia?

Russia never practiced slavery, number one, number two, Russia will never, never , ever allow itself to be enslaved.

And Russia is too big for the likes of Little Britain, tis a pity, a bloody pity that, but tis just too dammm bad, I'd say to Herrr Stammerererwrwr

The British have succesfully and permanently subjugated every continental European power. Russia is the last in the list. They believe nobody will be able to challenge the anglosaxon suppremacy ever. Theyre nuts...

Both the US and Britain are home, since the part century, to many of descendants of the "nationalist" and the jewish anti-Russian elements that were in historyis Ukraine/Belarus, And and they are prominent in the oligarchy and the deep state (CIA, NSA, MI6, foreign office, etc) of both countries.

The fact that many Ukrainian nationalists/Nazis and Jews have emigrated to the UK and US has little to do with the actions of the UK, they have been on this path for centuries, the nationalist are likely helping and pushing, but the impetus was always there.

Thank you Ever so much for such Great Work, Kit 🥺👀.

I am personally sick and tired of the These maggots constantly on the scheme to attempt to "break up" Russia. Russia should get together with China and work to shatter the stupid criminal EU in 1000 pieces, and put it out of its misery once and for all, since that's what they SoO want!!! Consider what the migrants are doing to them. But Russia is "the threat"?!?!?!?! As to the CIA, it's nothing but a Notorious goon with a blank check (106.3 Billion $ between the National & Military intelligence programs for 2024 alone according to Google AI!!). What do they really do to help Americans sucking Aaall that money?!??! VIRTUALLY NOTHING!!! they are murderous drug traffickers. In the mean time the trampe is BULDOZING filthy homeless encampments around DC. The thug could use some of that money to get them back to work etc. AFTER ALL, they are US MADE and not Russians or Chinese‼️Worthless phaQing country. BTW. Isra-GARBAGE-El got no less than 17.8 billion $ for just 2024 ALONE. TAX FREE Baby‼️

...This while Americans get theirs doors smashed in the early hours of day, their dogs shot, children terrorized and adults arrested and thrown in the hole if they miss their dues by so much as few measly $s ....What A Democracy this is‼️

Thank you so much.

Honestly the US acts like a crazed behemouth goring and trampling any poor country that doesn't bow down and lick its shoes. Disgusting and degenerate. It has been this way for more than a century and the bad Karma it has generated is going to sink it!

Russia have had 70 years to prepare for this war they knew would one day come. Every quadrant of Ukraine has been prepped with war games to death. Lines of defence 7 deep. That's before you even enter Russia...Good luck

I wonder who are Connellys superiors,.since he seems to be the top of the British war effort. By the way....Odessa was a gruesome crime but a mistake for the nazis. It decisevely convinced the Russians to intervene.

On the mark as usual, Kit. But never ignore or underplay the virulent nefarious influence of the Vatican. In Poland, natürlich, but even more so in Galicia and their inspiration behind Pan Germanism, whether under the Catholic Habsburgs and as they were fading, then the Protestant Hohenzollerns, who cares?, Ukraine is worth a switch, and finally the rabid Hitlerian fascists when the millenary hatred of the Slavs culminated in the genocidal WW2. The Uniates, led by Bandera & co were the equivalents of the Ustasha in Serbia, under the direct tutelage of the Lemberg/Lvov/Lviv Archbishop. The Vatican has always been accommodating with the reformist splinter, but Orthodoxy and its "lost souls" have to be brought back into the fold at any cost...the millenial Rome/ Constantinople schism is still operative. If you do read French, I do recommend the book of the French historian Annie Lacroix-Riz* "Le Vatican, l'Europe et le Reich: de la 1ere guerre mondiale à la guerre froide" just re-edited and sourced in excruciating detail from the Original Archives. It reveals the crude face and duplicity of an organisation which in its attempt to maintain control over the "hearts and minds" of its flock, let alone of its financial empire will stop at nothing and is on par with the CIA/Mossad/MI6/5 dirty tricks. America has now squarely replaced Germany as the prime backer (since 1940 and the very fruity Cardinal Spellman), as attested by the "election" of the first Atlantist/Yankee Pope...Forward and onward nach Osten, ye Christian soldiers!

* The Vatican tried to buy the whole first edition for the usual autodafé, nazi/inquisition style, but wasn't totally succesfull though heavily censored and repressed. The only translation was in Serbia, where it can still be found: "Vatikan, Evropa i Rajh od Prvog Svetsskog Rata do Hladnog Rata"(2006)

The American strategy as expressed in that 1957 paper from the CIA, is a development of the model which the British had established under the Special Operations Executive and Major Gen Gubbins. You will see if you read current American policy https://studfile.net/preview/5922638/ that Western Allies are keen to give the impression that their evil and cunning enemies were the first to come up with these ideas and that they are just trying to catch up - but this is itself an important ingredient of the Great Game: the pretence that you are good and only adopt devious tactics because your enemy has chosen to do so firstly. If you read that document they finally admit at page 27 that the British had fully developed the methods of political warfare during WWII. But we probably ought to begin the history of divide and rule with the appointments of J S Mill to conduct the correspondence of the East India Company, or Thomas Malthus to school India-bound administrators at Haileybury.

Great find, and superlative analysis, Kit. Thanks so much for your work!

When it comes down to it, if one wants to understand the present, know the past. That's why historians are such tools of the ruling class. The battle over the past wages today, with both bullets and pens.

On The Jimmy Dore show a few weeks ago I saw some young adult male Ukrainians doing a fascist salute at some sports game.

But yet, we're being told that they have conscripted all the young people that they're now taking seniors....

This war makes no sense. But this does...

Those 24 years of age or younger cannot be conscripted.

When I lived in Ukraine (2004-2012) nationalists were almost universally seen as freaks and losers.

So what happened? Simple. It was made clear that adopting the nationalist ideology was the key to admission to the West, the Golden Billion, the Magical Land Where Institutions Basically Work (telling Ukrainians that this isn't exactly the case is like telling a human kittens that Christmas is canceled this year....)

For some reason, the Western Press keep bringing up the illegality of Russia's military response to the existential threat to Russia's national security that was created by the Illegal Maidan coup. Russia has every right as a soverign nation to protect its borders and typical US intervention in Ukraine made the Russian military response inevitable. Obama's lack of diplomacy and his devious plans against Russia are responsible for today's Ukrainian tragedy! Also the MSM continues to attack the Crimean vote to rejoin Russia as fake. What absolute garbage! The US already made a precedent of such votes with its military support of Bosnian separation from Serbia in 1999. Clinton was responsible for that intervention. The US has absolutely nothing to complain about. Its gross hypocisy is hanging out!

I suppose we should be surprised to know the West/US were planning to invade Ukraine in 1957, but it comes as no surprise at all. Capitalists/Imperialists are always going to be themselves, it seems.

I can't remember if you, Kit, have done a little bio of the impending new Chief of SIS, Blaise (modesty not in dictionary) Metreweli/Dobrowolski? I mean how her grandfather appears to have been the Butcher of Chernihiv. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/06/29/tzuv-j29.html

I think her appointment is quite the signal of intent. Apparently she's not a lesbian though, despite appearances and a penchant for women's rowing at Cambridge. Not that there's anything to insinuate about Cambridge women's rowing team, oh no.

But it's those scarily piercing blue eyes that do it for me.

One more article proving U.S. and British historical hostile designs against Russia and the crucial role that control of Ukraine plays in those plans.

It certainly confirms that Putin must take Odessa and that Russia must bring whatever is left of Ukraine under its control as something like a Protectorate of the Russian Federation. Something akin to the U.S. Virgin Islands and Sains rule over the Canary Islands.

This means Russia can't go for a negotiated settlement that leaves room for any W3stern presence in Ukraine.

Does Putin really want the U.S. building a outlandish big sprawl7ng embassy, which would be a cover for the U.S. military and C.I.A., on Russia's doorsteps as it has done in Iraq and Lebanon?
