Let’s be clear – Russia invaded the Ukraine!
I’m no fan of the American Military Industrial Complex.
I’ve been raging against that machine for much of my life.
And while I’m a proud Marxist-Socialist, I’m no fan of Putin.
The guy is a former KGB thug who has used the most deplorable tactics to take over Russia and his brutal authoritarianism has seen him willingly butcher and maim 700 000 of his own men in this terrible Ukrainian war.
The bleating by Putin apologists that somehow Putin is justified because the West did blah blah blah doesn’t excuse launching an invasion of another country and it doesn’t justify the human suffering that has come about from that.
Sure the American Military Industrial Complex is evil and has made money from this and will fight Russia till the last dead Ukrainian, but none of that justifies what Putin did.
Putin’s only regret is that he didn’t start sooner.
Trump surrendering to Putin and allowing Ukraine to be carved hollow will be payback for all the lies and deceptions about not encroaching into Russia’s sphere after the Minsk agreements but a new cold front between NATO and Russia is here with an American President who couldn’t care less about Europe because he is moving all his military power against China.
Surrendering the Ukraine isn’t peace, it will be appeasement and Putin will immediately start pushing in other fronts.
Putin sees the Rules Based Order as an American Hegemony and understands that Russia can be King again but only in a world of chaos and disorder, that Russia and the True Orthodox God can bring order to a chaos he himself is spawning.
Russia will be emboldened by Trump selling the Ukraine out, it won’t sate Putin.
Trump is happy to allow Putin to play games against Europe while he moves his attention to a military confrontation with China.
Zelensky fought the good fight, but Western attention spans are notoriously fickle and in the end he couldn’t compete with the war crimes of the IDF who have over shadowed Russia’s crimes against the Ukrainians.
The reality to the West is that Trump’s a bigger threat to us than Xi and Putin combined.

Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
OK, so what’s your plan Martyn?
Is lying a solution? Why not just say I don’t want to support you anymore rather making shit up. He’s a f’ing idiot.
Facile.
now there’s a word I have never bothered to fully comprehend until now – good one
Firstly it is not ‘the Ukraine’ which implies that it is the border region of Russia rather than an independent country.
Secondly Bill Browder believes that Putin will not accept peace at all given that he and his cronies have stolen trillions of rubles from Russia and the war is covering this up.
