Soon enough, German university students will be learning about Fehlinger praxis akin to how Russian soldiers learn basic Dugin theory. Instead of Chimputin’s and Dugin’s doctrine of “from Lisbon to Vladivostok”, it’s “from Dublin to Baku”. The difference between these two, of course, being that the west is still insanely powerful and Russia and China have stagnated in growth. They’ve reached their prime whereas western powers are a fusion of Tom Brady, Lebron James, Lionel Messi and Wayne Gretzky.

<MLism is a dead horse that Americucks keep bringing up to disguise this war as an ideological struggle a'la the cold war and obfuscate its true nature of confrontation between the imperial core and the semi-periphery.

>Fehlinger has described himself as a "coaltroon", a term that was popularized by notorious soyteens on soyjaks.party, a website dedicated to coal, gem and dust. Fehlinger used to be a catboy prior to 2020. He has repeatedly had bouts of Ambien abuse and has claimed that Hitler was a "Harvard communist experiment", on top of also saying that Tsar Nicholas II wrongfully abdicated from his throne. Fehlinger is a fan of both Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid, and also Manchester United and Manchester City. In 2017, he was confined to a Hamburg psychiatric ward for streaking naked near a Turkish brothel claiming that Greek prophecies on "the Turkish race" are coming true. Fehlinger and his wife have a bull whom he orally preps; it has been made known that the bull is a Russian mechanic named Oleg.>Fehlinger only has one ball.

Tbh this war changed me from an interimperialist war ultra to a staunch Putin supporter. Why? Because this war has shown how weak Russia is. Russia can't even stop drones from attacking their cities. Forget about being a superpower this war has proven Russia's government is so dysfunctional it can't even protect its own citizens from a far weaker military power. So if Russia loses it is 100% guaranteed to turn into a NATO puppet state because internally it is already so damn weak. Russia must win every war until it is strong enough tofinally match NATO by itself. Then and only then would I call it imperialist.

The whole point of such a regime is to terrorize people into submission.

Here is the historical materialist and authentic reason why Ukraine actually belongs to Russia. Back in the day, there was no Ukraine or Belarus, it was just Rus. The Rus were the Varangians, the oldest form of Russians. Rus itself emerged from their city of Velikiy Novgorod, which was mentioned as a safe heaven in Viking sagas. A few years later, Rus conquered Kiev from the Vikings, who themselves conquered it from Kazars.
>But what about Kievan Rus??
"Kievan Rus" was a phrase created by a Russian scholar in 1851/53, to identify a certain historical period of the 9th century when Oleg of Novgorod conquered the city and created the Kievan Rus. It's merely an extension of the Rus as a whole.
The Ukrainian nationality can only be traced back to this founding of the Kievan Rus. All of the Ukrainian culture and traditions originates from the Rus, and ethnic Ukrainians cannot claim to be culturally related to the original founders of Kiev, because the founders were Kazars. The original founders are extinct, and modern Ukrainians have no claim over that history today and cannot trace their lineage to before the founding of the Kievan Rus. Remember this whenever a hohloswine opens its mouth to speak about history, or if they say "Kiev is older than Moscow".
No.1597393
>>1597278There is no endgame. Shoigu (who has no prior military background btw and was only appointed because Cucktin liked him) was way overconfident and as expected from a retard who's never been in the military and didn't study for shit, was expecting a quick and easy win that didn't materialize and then everything after was just constant scrambling and responding to crises moment-by-moment. It's why Prigozhin launched his rebellion because he could see that Russian high command was led by a total retard only in his position because of his loyalty to Cucktin rather than any real competency at war making. And by killing Prigozhin and sidelining Surovikin and alienating the Wagner fighters who were far better at fighting, Cucktin has shown that he prioritizes personal relationships and how much someone sucks his cock and flatters him rather than people who may shit talk him to his face but actually possess the intelligence and drive to win a war.

>>1597431Fuck off Gunther. Words cant describe how fucking shameless it is to claim that Russia colonized all of its territories and must return the land to the natives. What sort of twisted meaning of "colony" is that?
Russia never enslaved or genocided local populations during the exploration of Siberia. These tribal nations still enjoy their traditional way of living, and their population was stable throughout the entire Russian history. Meanwhile, Europeans and Americans committed slavery for the black Africans and native Americans. It was institutionalized, a systematic policy for centuries. Dumb fucks like you will have people actually believe that "Russia is a colonial country that is colonizing Siberia and the indigenous people", and imposing your western decolonial paradigm on a completely different civilization in history where there's no consistency or similarity whatsoever.
There is an objective Russian civilization that is not defined by the dominance of any Russian ethnicity or even russian-speaking peoples. The "Russkiy" is separate from the citizens of the Russian Federation. They are all Russian, even if not part of the "Russian" ethnicity originating from the Varangians of Velikiy Novgorod. Others that are not part of the dominant ethnos are able to coexist without oppression. Civilization isn't when you have one tribe that asserts its narrow interests over everyone else. That's just primitivism, what you have in dysfunctional third world regions that never developed. In more developed civilizations, like Russia, all peoples have a common understanding between each other. The Chechens and other Muslims have an understanding with the Slavic Christians, and so do the people in Siberia, etc. They are not always fusing to become the same, but they are not all totally isolated from each other. This not only allows them to retain their differences but also highlight them especially in the ways they interact with each other. The way they interact is set with custom, precedent and tradition. Russia is a multi-ethnic civilization defined by determinate interactions between different tribes and peoples, united by a common identity where everyone is equal before the law, everyone has an understanding with each other of some kind. This has nothing to do with colonialism whatsoever except in fascist mental gymnasiums.
Russia never did such things that Europeans and Americans did. It is really shameless for the westerners to spell Russian history as a brutal imperislism as it is simply not true. The whole idea that Russia right now, after the USSR fell and the horrible 90s happened, is somehow an "empire" that occupies nations living within its borders is just amazing, without even considering the political entities who are making these claims (the West), and the irony implied by that. You're nothing but a cocksucker of the "Free Nations of Postrussia Forum" and other glowie NGOs. So what happens when people actually decide that Russia must be decolonized? Look at all of the maps that these glowie NGOs draw up. Various maps of Russia, with entirely different flags and borders, which bear no representation of actual ethnic boundaries of any people, and no relation to their tradition or culture. This is pure wet dream psychosis by imperialists and their lackeys like you.

They used domestic deficit financing involving the creation of a second limited currency to get around restrictions and to conceal it from their general budget. This is something Russia could have easily done in the run up to the war but chose not to since their leadership is retarded.

What I'm about to say may be a bit controversial, but I wonder if the Russo-Ukraine war is the farce to WWI's tragedy. Beyond the superficial similarities (trench warfare, a rising power challenging a global hegemon) we've also seen a kind of international schism in certain sectors of the Western Left. On one hand you have multipolarists who believe a Russian victory will break the power of NATO/America, so-called "progressives" or even "socialists" claiming that Russia's aggression has to be repelled with force of arms, and finally a segment of the Left (the CPUSA for example) advocating for a ceasefire with no further escalations.
And the thing is, all of these groups have at least some decent argument to back them. The NATOists are correct in asserting that ultimately it was Russia's decision to invade. The multipolarists are correct both in arguing that no nation (certainly not America) would tolerate hostile regime change on their borders and that a decentralization of global power would open more opportunities for peripheral nations to develop themselves. Finally, I'd argue the doves have likely the most moral position in that NATOists claims of a "Ukrainian Genocide" are absurd and that ending the war would save the most people in the immediate term.
As for my own position, I tend to be a multipolarist leaning dove.
Anyways, the animosity between multipolarist and NATOist leaning "leftists" has shown the weaknesses in the Western Left's internationalist line. I think it's important we analyze this situation and earnestly attempt to figure out where we go from here. I don't think there's ever been a more difficult hurdle for the Left to overcome, then the question of internationalism. For all the pretensions that people have of being "Socialist Internationalists" when crises between nations occur, the "International" line quickly tends to schism. During WWI the Social Democratic Parties of Europe would claim they were actually defending themselves from German/British/French/Russian imperialism and quickly rallied to the war. While French Socialists deliberated on a general strike if war were to break out, this was saddled with a clause that a strike would take place only in unison with a strike of German workers. Should a single national party break its international commitments, then you get a domino effect of other nations all rallying to war.
And even so many years after WWI, we still have the same issue regarding the internationalist response to war. How can a Socialist in America earnestly demand one in Russia "oppose Russia's war of aggression" when they can pretty easily point to our own failures in the anti-war movement during Iraq and Afghanistan? When America invades a country, it can experience a few months of support before the sheen wears off and it turns out we lied. When Russia invades a country for far more justifiable reasons than we had going into Iraq, suddenly they're turned into international pariahs and excluded from the global economy. You have a global rallying to Ukraine (more accurately, a rallying AGAINST Russia) that you never saw in Iraq. Russians wouldn't be incorrect in believing that rallying against their government would benefit nations like the U.S. and not themselves; their understanding of realpolitik is much more advanced than your average American's, mostly because of their semi-peripheral status.
It wasn't just WWI that damaged international Socialism. A lot of people forget that the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact blemished the Soviet reputation during the lead-up to WWII. Suddenly, you had the USSR striking a deal with Fascists. Trotskyists had a field day with it. But the fact is: who in Stalin's position would have opposed the pact? The allies already turned down his alliance against Fascism, the USSR was diplomatically isolated, and the Nazis offering him a devil's bargain gave him time to prepare at least. Still, some western socialists from the warmth and comfort of their home howled how DARE the USSR not shoulder the burden of war against Fascism alone. They had to suffer and bleed and die for ideological consistency, as though that was more important than the survival of their people. To this day it's pointed to by everyone from Liberals to Anarchists to Trotskyists as "proof" of Stalin's betrayal of Socialism. As though the result of Russia fighting a war alone against Germany would've been anything other than the Brits and Americans swooping in at the last minute to "restore democracy" or "end the soviet dictatorship" or what have you.
I think this raises the earnest question of whether internationalism is even possible, at least prior to Socialism. While controversial, we need to be willing to critique our own beliefs in order to arrive at a more consistent line.

>>1597494Germany was nothing like Russia on the eve of the first world war, you can't compare multi-polarity today with pre-World War One Europe. It's pretty simple that when a handful of countries from Europe, which is one region of the world, bicker amongst themselves over who gets to divide the entire rest of the world, this is entirely different from regional powers from every corner of the globe emerging and giving expression to their own authentic, oftentimes thousand-year-old civilizational development. When France, Britain, Austria-Hungary, Germany and Russia are fighting in Europe for control over the world's colonies, that's not the same thing as i.e. the rise of BRICS, or the rise of a multi-polar world order, which reflects civilizations indigenous to those specific regions becoming global regional polarities, specific to their geographic locality. This is a very important point and I don't even think much more needs to be said. You can't say multi-polarity is just when there's multiple different "regional powers" fighting amongst themselves, multi-polarity reflects the fact that there's no one global hegemon anymore. World War One, the interimperialist wars, were competitions between different imperial powers over who has the unipolarity. Germany, Britain, France, Russian, to an extent the United States were all fighting amongst themselves to decide who is going to be the premier unipolar power. The Soviet Union rose up and formed a bipolar world order for a time, with the Warsaw Pact, the Socialist bloc and the Soviet kind of a communistic, socialistic world. The other one was the American system with Bretton Woods which outlasted the former, and America became the unipolar world power.
Today, multi-polarity is emerging out of that. It's not a regression to World War One and the interimperialist wars, where various powers are fighting for who controls the world, rather you have a situation where civilizational regionally specific polarities are fighting to assert their independence from the American unipolar world order. They're not fighting to control the entire world. Russia is not fighting to replace America and become a unipolar hegemon, neither is China, nor Iran. Under no metric are any of these countries striving to control any colonies or even the whole world, they're fighting to assert their own sovereignty. That's nothing new in anti-imperialism. Sovereignty is all good and well, originating within the framework of classical bourgeois legalism, where states are sovereign and no external power has the right to control it, etc. This is all considered classical anti-imperialism. Yet in addition to the fight for sovereignty, which most people don't go beyond when they talk about anti-imperialism, you have an assertion of a specific civilizational polarity - not just sovereignty, but the right to be a regional polarity of their own.

One's relationship to multipolarity is based on one's own interests, but also considers the interests of others; without the latter then I think governments will fall out of step with the objective changes in the world.You are thinking of it in terms of "who has the right". All a polarity basically refers to (in Marxist political-economic terms if you want to do economic reductionism because I'm generous) polarities are engines of development. The basic function of a polarity is to drive some kind of geographically specific, internal civilizational economic development. For example in the Bretton Woods unipolar imperialist system, the United States considered itself the engine of global development. It wanted to basically develop the world from one center. This was basically a scheme to enrich western finance capital. The World Bank and the IMF came into emergence through this process, leading to debt bondage and debt slavery in that form of capital accumulation, which was an extension of imperialism.
But every single multi-polar hegemon entering into existence has in common the fact that they're not disguising any hidden motives to replace the west and become a new hegemon. Regional polarities are precisely about real economic development, industrialization and modernization. There's plenty of ways to think about what that means and what that looks like. A lot of it has to do with investment. Differentials in capital accumulation give rise to certain regions and certain powers having the ability to invest in things that peripheral localities aren't able to. For example, in the case of Ukraine: An oil-exporting country like Russia could indeed invest in Ukraine to develop the Ukrainian economy, because of it's oil exports. The United States would rather have Ukraine become a debt slave to the World Bank and the IMF, or even worse the EU - if you can believe that's worse - to underdevelop Ukraine in the disguise of "we're going to give you loans to rebuild your country or you're going to be an eternal debt slave to us", all to basically enrich the private capitalistic financial class.
But what's very important to understand is that multi-polarity refers to the fact that these regional civilizational polarities aren't coming at the expense of the sovereignty of other countries, like the American unipolar world power does. America is trampling on Russia's sovereignty in Ukraine, it's really that simple. Russia will not stand for this. They want the ability and the right to form traditionally oftentimes bilateral relationships with Ukraine, which only come at the expense of the relation Ukraine has to the unipolar world system. Ukraine is in a sense a part of Russia's regional polarity, and Russia is trying to assert that through bilateral relations between sovereign countries, which can organically lead to special economic relationships which benefit the masses of both nations. This placed a central role for Russia that came at the expense of Ukraine' dependence on the unilateral global system created by America. America obviously wants to prevent that, specifically in the case Crimea, Donbass, and all the disputes thereof. They would prefer it be resolved unilaterally rather than bilaterally. That's why they have been kindling the fascist flame in Ukraine for the past 70 years.

Russia's radical military warfare approach is too extreme.When considering the broader civilizational level, remember that imperialism is not a civilizational relationship. Even when there's geographic contiguity between the empire and an imperialized nation - you said they are close to the West, but for most imperialized nations this isn't the case - most imperialism throughout history is some country like Britain or France going half across the world and making a colony. There is no geographic contiguity there whatsoever, it's just this pure abstract domination by capital.
But even in the cases where there was geographic contiguity, let's say Germany, Austria-Hungary and the later Ottoman Empire, there still is established that same abstract domination and control through the creation of artificial barriers. Even where there's geographic contiguity, there's no civilizational contiguity. For example, when imperialist Germany had plans to conquer the Balkans, they didn't want to integrate with the Slavic peoples, fuse with them and form some kind of common world that share the same identity and civilization. The Germans more or less wanted to put up a barrier by enslaving the Slavs and robbing them of their resources, colonize their lands and treat these Slavic peoples and others in continental Europe in the same manner that Europeans were treating the peoples outside of Europe.
Russia actions in Ukraine on the other hand opposing imperialism are contiguous on a civilizational, geographic and even legal level. They aren't eliminating and trampling upon the sovereignty of Ukraine. Even if there are irridentist populist figures in Russian politics and media that want a return to the Russkaya Imperia, they aren't in power and by the looks of it, won't be. What is meant by legal contiguity, is again through bilateral relationships, trade treaties, border agreements, so on and so forth. That is the primary mechanism by which regional geographic polarities assert themselves globally. This is true for China, and this is also true for Russia. Ukraine keeps breaking the Minsk agreements, and breaks the grain port agreements at the behest of the west, so what choice does Russia have? Russia's special military operation was a weapon of last resort. They had preferred Minsk agreements, bilateral agreements between itself and the people of Ukraine, Donetsk and Lugansk, and Europe. They didn't want a unilateral solution to the conflict. They wanted a solution that brings the parties to the table.

Well, even when artillery was bombarding Berlin, it wasn't the German peoples themselves that ended the Reich; it was Hitler killing himself and the Red Army planting their flag over the Reichstag. Even when the Nazis were using literal child soldiers to try and delay the Russians' advance, the people still didn't rise up. Nationalism, among other factors, helped collapse the USSR.
We have to find an answer to the International question. The Left can't keep resetting its progress whenever there's a war.
Maybe the solution would be a delimitation of several "internationals", which is to say, a realists acknowledgement of which states are strongest in a given area and only attempting to organize around issues within that area. I'm not sure. Anyone who can solve this riddle would probably be a smarter man than me.

There’s no winning hand here; the rhetoric of providing a “neutral” understanding of the war is met with extreme hostility, which is at least understandable if you’re one of the peoples being impacted by it. Talking about imperialism, or NATO expansion, or Russia and Ukraine’s shared history only isolates communists from the mainstream. It’s like trying to talk about American interventionism directly after 9/11. Sure you’d be on the money when you say it’s the direct result of our foreign policy in the Middle East, but try explaining that to the people that just watched thousands of people get murdered by a bunch of Jihadists, and if you’re gonna say “we don’t care, let them be reactionary” then you aren’t building a mass movement—just a cult of ascetics.

<United Russia" is gaining a confident majority in the legislative assemblies of the new regions. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation in two subjects lost 2nd place to the Liberal Democratic Party, in the DPR they received almost the same number of votes. "New people" were held only in the DPR: in the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, they did not run.
<Based on the results of processing 100% of the protocols, the election results are as follows:
<DNR: United Russia – 78.03% Communist Party of the Russian Federation - 6,43% LDPR - 6,25% "New People" – 5.14% "Fair Russia" - 3,27%
<LNR: United Russia – 74.63% LDPR - 9,87% Communist Party of the Russian Federation - 7,5% "Fair Russia" - 5,56%
<Zaporozhye region: United Russia – 83.01% LDPR - 5,82% "Fair Russia" - 5,13% Communist Party of the Russian Federation - 5,02%
<Kherson region: United Russia – 74.86% Communist Party of the Russian Federation - 10,56% LDPR - 8,27% "Fair Russia" – 5.03%
<According to political scientist Alexander Nemtsev, the Liberal Democratic Party ranks 2nd thanks to the memory of its late leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who was also known in Ukraine. In turn, local, Ukrainian, communists were present in politics and were not popular. "Voters of the new territories believe that the Communists are the same everywhere - and there it was an ineffective opposition, and the Liberal Democratic Party is Zhirinovsky's party, which knows how to speak brightly, clearly and to the point," he explained. A spokesman for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, State Duma deputy Alexander Yushchenko noted that the most important thing is that the elections in the new regions have taken place at all. "Taking into account the fact that many areas of the regions there are not under the control of Russia, many cities are directly on the line of contact, chaotic shelling goes on from morning to evening - the figures suggest a certain error, taking into account the listed circumstances," he told Vedomosti.
<According to Yushchenko, it is important for the party that the Communist Party has been present in the region since 2014 and residents of Donetsk and Lugansk speak about it. For example, according to him, "they remember which party was the initiator of the recognition of independence" of the DPR and LPR. In February 2022, two documents recognizing the independence of the DPR and LPR, United Russia and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, were submitted to the State Duma, and the second one was adopted. Election commissions reported a fairly high turnout in the elections in the regions: in the DPR - 76.41%, in the LPR - 72.47%, in the Zaporozhye region - 68.11%, in the Kherson region - 65.14%.(cont).
No.1599230
>>1599227
<At the beginning of the final day, the CEC calculated that the DPR has the highest turnout in the legislative elections. Kirill Vyshinsky, a member of the Human Rights Council, said that the new subjects are "one of the few territories not even in Russia, but in general in a world where the turnout will exceed exactly 90%, where people know for sure that their vote will affect their lives, their future." According to him, "this is a very important example of what elections can mean." It is worth noting that it is not known how many voters the turnout percentage is calculated: the CEC classified data on the number of voters in the new regions in December 2022.
<The high electoral activity is due, firstly, to multi-day voting, and secondly, home voting, which makes it possible to reach the maximum number of people, political scientist Yevgeny Minchenko told Vedomosti. "I think that it was very important for the authorities to hold these elections in order to show that everything is normal, the situation is under control, that these regions are already deeply integrated into Russian political life, the Russian political system," the expert said. Nemtsev notes that the voters who came to the polling stations were participants in last year's referendum on joining and with their current activity they confirm that choice and "readiness to play by the rules of the Russian Federation." He added that by voting, people are counting on order and an increase in the level of stability. "In the overwhelming majority of cases, candidates for deputies are local residents, which suggests that a full-fledged regional government is being formed based on local citizens," the source said.
<From September 1 to September 4, 2023, citizens of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions living outside their regions could vote at 329 extraterritorial polling stations in 81 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. In addition, early voting was organized for voters located in hard-to-reach areas and settlements near the line of contact. In the DPR and the Zaporozhye region, early voting began on August 31, in the LPR and the Kherson region on September 2. It ended on September 7. In the Kherson region, the first day of the main voting, which fell on Friday, was declared a day off.
<The duration of the "early" was set by regional election commissions. The chairman of the election commission of the DPR, Vladimir Vysotsky, explained that such deadlines were set to prevent queues at polling stations due to the danger of shelling. Early voting took place in remote and front-line areas. Precinct election commissions traveled to the adjacent territories, conducted door-to-door visits. In Horlivka, three mobile polling stations traveled around the city on large buses, in Volnovakha the idea was adopted, but the bus was one or less capacity. The turnout in the elections to the Legislative Assembly after this stage exceeded 45%.(cont)

<According to Vysotsky himself, it was still not possible to avoid incidents - at least twice PEC members came under fire from the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Donetsk and Volnovakha. In the latter case, four members of the commission were wounded. Polling stations in the new regions closed ahead of schedule on the last day of voting (elections there, as in most subjects of the Russian Federation, were three-day). In rural settlements of the Zaporozhye region, the polling stations were closed at 14.00, in cities - at 16.00. In the LPR and the Kherson region, voting ended at 16.00, in the DPR - at 15.00. Vysotsky explained the decision to end the voting ahead of schedule by the fact that many residents had already voted during early voting and two days of operation of stationary polling stations. Also, according to him, the election commission was guided by the desire to "ensure the safety of not only voters, but also members of our precinct commissions."
<On the night of September 10, a polling station was destroyed in the Zaporozhye region as a result of a drone attack, Deputy Chairman of the Commission Nikolai Bulaev told reporters at the information center of the Central Election Commission of Russia. At the time of the attack, there was no one inside, the incident was without casualties. According to Bulaev, the purpose of the attack was to "intimidate people so that people do not go to work." The first day of elections in the country took place against the backdrop of shelling of the Kherson region by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The election commission of the region was evacuated due to the announced missile attack and was forced to move to an "alternate airfield" where there is no communication. Later it turned out that in the Skadovsk municipal district, the air defense system shot down two drones in the immediate vicinity of polling stations. The chairman of the electoral commission of the region, Marina Zakharova, called the incident a "sabotage provocation" on the part of Kiev. No.1599244

> How the Ukraine crisis endsBy Henry A. Kissinger
March 5, 2014 at 5:58 p.m. EST
>Public discussion on Ukraine is all about confrontation. But do we know where we are going? In my life, I have seen four wars begun with great enthusiasm and public support, all of which we did not know how to end and from three of which we withdrew unilaterally. The test of policy is how it ends, not how it begins.
>Far too often the Ukrainian issue is posed as a showdown: whether Ukraine joins the East or the West. But if Ukraine is to survive and thrive, it must not be either side’s outpost against the other — it should function as a bridge between them.
>Russia must accept that to try to force Ukraine into a satellite status, and thereby move Russia’s borders again, would doom Moscow to repeat its history of self-fulfilling cycles of reciprocal pressures with Europe and the United States.
>The West must understand that, to Russia, Ukraine can never be just a foreign country. Russian history began in what was called Kievan-Rus. The Russian religion spread from there. Ukraine has been part of Russia for centuries, and their histories were intertwined before then. Some of the most important battles for Russian freedom, starting with the Battle of Poltava in 1709 , were fought on Ukrainian soil. The Black Sea Fleet — Russia's means of projecting power in the Mediterranean — is based by long-term lease in Sevastopol, in Crimea. Even such famed dissidents as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Joseph Brodsky insisted that Ukraine was an integral part of Russian history and, indeed, of Russia.
>The European Union must recognize that its bureaucratic dilatoriness and subordination of the strategic element to domestic politics in negotiating Ukraine’s relationship to Europe contributed to turning a negotiation into a crisis. Foreign policy is the art of establishing priorities.
>The Ukrainians are the decisive element. They live in a country with a complex history and a polyglot composition. The Western part was incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1939 , when Stalin and Hitler divided up the spoils. Crimea, 60 percent of whose population is Russian , became part of Ukraine only in 1954 , when Nikita Khrushchev, a Ukrainian by birth, awarded it as part of the 300th-year celebration of a Russian agreement with the Cossacks. The west is largely Catholic; the east largely Russian Orthodox. The west speaks Ukrainian; the east speaks mostly Russian. Any attempt by one wing of Ukraine to dominate the other — as has been the pattern — would lead eventually to civil war or break up. To treat Ukraine as part of an East-West confrontation would scuttle for decades any prospect to bring Russia and the West — especially Russia and Europe — into a cooperative international system.
>Ukraine has been independent for only 23 years; it had previously been under some kind of foreign rule since the 14th century. Not surprisingly, its leaders have not learned the art of compromise, even less of historical perspective. The politics of post-independence Ukraine clearly demonstrates that the root of the problem lies in efforts by Ukrainian politicians to impose their will on recalcitrant parts of the country, first by one faction, then by the other. That is the essence of the conflict between Viktor Yanukovych and his principal political rival, Yulia Tymoshenko. They represent the two wings of Ukraine and have not been willing to share power. A wise U.S. policy toward Ukraine would seek a way for the two parts of the country to cooperate with each other. We should seek reconciliation, not the domination of a faction.
>Russia and the West, and least of all the various factions in Ukraine, have not acted on this principle. Each has made the situation worse. Russia would not be able to impose a military solution without isolating itself at a time when many of its borders are already precarious. For the West, the demonization of Vladimir Putin is not a policy; it is an alibi for the absence of one.
>Putin should come to realize that, whatever his grievances, a policy of military impositions would produce another Cold War. For its part, the United States needs to avoid treating Russia as an aberrant to be patiently taught rules of conduct established by Washington. Putin is a serious strategist — on the premises of Russian history. Understanding U.S. values and psychology are not his strong suits. Nor has understanding Russian history and psychology been a strong point of U.S. policymakers.
>Leaders of all sides should return to examining outcomes, not compete in posturing. Here is my notion of an outcome compatible with the values and security interests of all sides:
>1. Ukraine should have the right to choose freely its economic and political associations, including with Europe.
>2. Ukraine should not join NATO, a position I took seven years ago, when it last came up.
>3. Ukraine should be free to create any government compatible with the expressed will of its people. Wise Ukrainian leaders would then opt for a policy of reconciliation between the various parts of their country. Internationally, they should pursue a posture comparable to that of Finland. That nation leaves no doubt about its fierce independence and cooperates with the West in most fields but carefully avoids institutional hostility toward Russia.
>4. It is incompatible with the rules of the existing world order for Russia to annex Crimea. But it should be possible to put Crimea’s relationship to Ukraine on a less fraught basis. To that end, Russia would recognize Ukraine’s sovereignty over Crimea. Ukraine should reinforce Crimea’s autonomy in elections held in the presence of international observers. The process would include removing any ambiguities about the status of the Black Sea Fleet at Sevastopol.
>These are principles, not prescriptions. People familiar with the region will know that not all of them will be palatable to all parties. The test is not absolute satisfaction but balanced dissatisfaction. If some solution based on these or comparable elements is not achieved, the drift toward confrontation will accelerate. The time for that will come soon enough.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/henry-kissinger-to-settle-the-ukraine-crisis-start-at-the-end/2014/03/05/46dad868-a496-11e3-8466-d34c451760b9_story.html No.1599417

https://www.reuters.com/world/rising-ammunition-prices-set-back-nato-efforts-boost-security-official-2023-09-16/>OSLO, Sept 16 (Reuters) - A top NATO military official warned on Saturday that a drastic rise in ammunition prices means that allies' higher defence spending does not automatically translate into greater security and called for more private investment in defence companies.>"Prices for equipment and ammunition are shooting up. Right now, we are paying more and more for exactly the same," Dutch Admiral Rob Bauer, the chair of NATO's military committee, said on Saturday after a meeting of the alliance's chiefs of defence in Oslo.>"That means that we cannot make sure that the increased defence spending actually leads to more security.">NATO has been pressing for a boost in defence production to satisfy a demand for weapons and equipment that has soared since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, as allies not only rush supplies to Kyiv but also build up their own inventories.>One major concern has been a shortage of 155mm artillery rounds, with Kyiv firing up to 10,000 of these shells per day.>In February, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg warned Kyiv was burning through shells much faster than the West could produce them.>Bauer pushed for more private investment in the defence sector to ramp up production capacity, urging pension funds and banks to stop labelling defence investments as unethical.https://www.reuters.com/world/north-koreas-kim-discusses-stronger-ties-with-russian-defence-minister-kcna-2023-09-16/>SEOUL, Sept 17 (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un discussed practical issues in stepping up military cooperation with Russia's defence minister, state KCNA news agency said on Sunday, having what KCNA called a "fresh heyday" of relations between the two countries.>During his visit to Russia, Kim inspected Russian nuclear-capable strategic bombers, hypersonic missiles and warships on Saturday, accompanied by Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu.>Kim's trip comes at a time when "a fresh heyday of friendship and solidarity and cooperation is being opened up in the history of the development of the relations between the DPRK and Russia," KCNA said, using North Korea's official name.>Kim met Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday and discussed military matters, the war in Ukraine and deepening cooperation.>Kim and Shoigu "exchanged their constructive opinions on the practical issues arising in further strengthening the strategic and tactical coordination, cooperation and mutual exchange between the armed forces of the two countries and in the fields of their national defence and security," KCNA reported.>Shoigu told Russian media earlier that Moscow is discussing joint military exercises with North Korea.>On Friday, South Korea and the U.S. said military cooperation between North Korea and Russia would violate U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang and that the allies would ensure there was a price to pay.>Russia has gone out of its way to publicise the visit and to drop repeated hints about the prospect of military cooperation with North Korea, which was formed in 1948 with the backing of the Soviet Union.>Kim also toured Russia's Pacific Sea Fleet equipped with strategic nuclear submarines among other military vessels, KCNA said, quoting him as praising the fleet for its contribution to peace in the region.>Earlier this month, North Korea launched its first operational "tactical nuclear attack submarine".

>CHEMNITZ, GERMANY—Werner enthusiastically waved a white, red, and blue Russian tricolor flag—with the added imperial crest of the tsars—as we talked outside the former Stasi headquarters of what was once Karl Marx City, now Chemnitz, in eastern Germany.
>“The current German state is worse than what we had during communist times, and America, not [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, is the true evil of this world,” he said, aggressively thrusting his finger in my face, our conversation eavesdropped on by a giant statue of Marx.
>A retired bricklayer in his 70s, Werner might be expected to have mellowed with age. He’s old enough to have been briefly interrogated by the Stasi in the 1980s and to remember his father, a former Nazi soldier, returning disheveled from Soviet imprisonment in the 1950s. But none of that has stemmed his apparent sympathy for Russian imperialism, nor his anger at the West.
>“German reunification benefited only the West Germans, and Germany should leave us Saxons alone,” he said. “Germany should also leave Putin alone, as it was far worse to Russia in World War II than Putin is to Ukraine now.”
>Meet the Free Saxons movement. Werner has been attending every Monday rally of the secessionist right-wing monarchist movement that seeks to restore the kingdom of Saxony, which historically never had much weight beyond its own borders during its 112-year existence that ended with World War I. And like much of the German political fringe, it finds curious common ground with Putin’s Russia.
>The Russian president has exerted influence over East German attitudes toward Russia since he arrived in Dresden, Saxony’s regional capital, on his first posting as a young KGB agent in the mid-1980s. His foreign assignment in East Germany came to an abrupt end on Dec. 5, 1989, when demonstrators occupied the Stasi headquarters. Another crowd rushed to the nearby KGB office where he had a close encounter as they came close to storming the building. His subsequent calls to the Red Army for protection and reinforcements were met with silence, something Putin has never forgiven or forgotten.
>In perhaps his most famous quote, Putin told the Russian parliament in 2005 that the collapse of the USSR was the “greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the [20th] century.” To him, it was an experience of personal humiliation. In 1990, he returned with his young family to his hometown of Leningrad, now St. Petersburg, where he claimed to have had to drive a taxi to make ends meet, before landing a more lucrative gig as the serial president, sometimes prime minister, of Russia.
>But almost 40 years later he still finds receptive ears in the former Soviet satellite where a curious alliance of elements from across the political spectrum has voiced sympathy or support for his invasion of Ukraine.
>A survey conducted last October suggests that 40 percent of Germans fully or partially believe that NATO provoked Russia into invading Ukraine; that number increases to 59 percent in provinces that were once part of communist East Germany. Saxony, East Germany’s most populous federal state, falls slap bang in the middle of that anti-NATO heartland.
>In his vendetta against the West, Putin has sought to erode Western liberal democracies and the Euro-Atlanticist compact, boosting destabilizing political candidates and supporting local separatist groups regardless of their ideological alignment. Russian disinformation campaigns have been linked to, among other events, the election of Donald Trump to the presidency of the United States, the Scottish and Catalonian independence referendums, and Brexit.
>Here in Chemnitz, it seems that Saxony is next on the list.
>On a camping table set up next to Werner, political brochures and stickers called for an alliance between Saxony and Russia. There were flags of the historical Kingdom of Saxony and calls for “Säxit”—à la Brexit—far-reaching autonomy from Germany or even Saxony’s secession.
>The Free Saxons, while nominally preoccupied with regional secessionism, offer a broad church of pro-Russian sentiment that has variously united far-right extremists, Soviet nostalgics, and marginalized anti-government cranks who rant about everything from vaccines to 5G to the war in Ukraine.
>“Saxony has always had a public opinion different from the rest. We want good relations with Russia. No weapons for Ukraine,” said Michael Brück, a Free Saxons spokesman who sees the war in Ukraine as one between “Slavic peoples” and one in which Germany has no business.
>“The people here think of [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky as an actor, a criminal, and a puppet of the United States. Putin is his counterpart. He stands up to U.S. imperialism. Most people here are anti-U.S. Here in Saxony, the people remember the Dresden firebombing [in early 1945, a joint Royal Air Force and U.S. Army Air Forces operation]. For the people here, the Americans are warmongers.”
>That history, plus decades of economic deprivation, sowed the seeds of dissent and even radicalism in Saxony. Notably, it was a member of the Saxon-Thuringia aristocracy who planned an attempted coup in Germany in 2022. Prince Heinrich XIII Reuss joined with the Reichsbürger—a far-right imperial revivalist movement—in its attempt to overthrow the government. The plot was uncovered in December when prosecutors arrested 25 Reichsbürger plotters, including Reuss and current and former security service members. The putsch was derided for its grandiose ambition and dead-on-arrival failure. But it was a sobering reminder of the resurgence of the German far right and its apparent willingness to commit violent revolutionary acts.
>The killing of two police officers in January 2022 was also tied to the Reichsbürger, while in April 2022 a Reichsbürger member tried to kill several police officers while they attempted to execute a search warrant for the illegal possession of firearms. The ringleader, Reuss, reportedly celebrated the 2022 Russia National Day in Russia’s consulate general in Leipzig.
>As Russia did with the Trump campaign and Brexit, Saxony has become a target of pro-Russian messaging and misinformation, which flourishes in a post-truth media landscape.“Nobody believes the [mainstream] media here. If the German media says tomorrow it is going to be sunny, we Saxons will put our raincoats on. That’s why people turn to Telegram,” a social media platform widely used in Russia and Ukraine, Brück said.
>Since the government enforced closure of the Russia Today (RT) operation in Germany, Kremlin sympathizers have tuned in to Russian-linked independent media and influencers. “Anti-Spiegel,” a play on German newspaper Der Spiegel, is run by Thomas Röper, a German blogger living in St. Petersburg, a Kremlin-loyal peddler of disinformation, conspiracy theories, and Russian propaganda. Russian media reports are also translated and published for a German audience. It has 110,000 Telegram subscribers.
>Another German blogger, Alina Lipp—a former German language correspondent for RT—plays an important role chirruping Russian propaganda to her 196,000 Telegram subscribers. Her widest-reaching posts reportedly receive over 2 million views.
>Their messages are finding their mark. In February, the Berlin-based Center for Monitoring, Analysis, and Strategy (CeMAS) released a paper on the role of Russian disinformation in Germany, finding that between the spring and autumn of 2022, approval of pro-Russian propaganda narratives increased significantly, especially in the east.
>Putin’s disinformation warriors have coincided with the rise of anti-technocratic movements on both sides of the ideological divide, a boon to those in Moscow looking to destabilize the centrist consensus that has dominated German politics for decades. The hard-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has within a year doubled its average poll numbers, riding a wave of populist outrage over immigrants and energy prices.
>The AfD, whose delegations occasionally visit Moscow, wants to dissolve the EU, strengthen Germany’s individual national military posture at the expense of Germany’s NATO engagement, and end all sanctions against Russia.
>Recent national polling put the AfD at 22 percent, ahead of the ruling Social Democratic Party, and trailing only the conservative Christian Democratic Union, at 27 percent. In several eastern states, the AfD polls above 30 percent and has grabbed one mayorship and one district administrator post.
>The AfD, like many others in the east, has a big crush on the Kremlin. A regional legislator, Hans-Thomas Tillschneider, founded an association called East Wind, seeking to forge closer ties with Russia. He tried to visit Russian-occupied territory in eastern Ukraine late last year, before even AfD leadership balked at the optics. Tillschneider has said before that Russia was the liberator of Germany in World War II, unlike the United States.
>"There are still tens of thousands American soldiers occupying our country,” he said, referring to U.S. troops who have spent decades there as part of NATO’s defense against that very same Russia. “The USA wants to make us pawns on the Ukrainian battlefield to expand its ‘rainbow [LGBT] empire.’”
>The German far right loves that kind of talk. But the German left is on board, too, reasoning that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Alliance for Peace in Brandenburg holds vigils on leftist outrage topics, like the bombing of Hiroshima in 1945 or NATO nuclear drills, and lobbies against Western arms deliveries to Ukraine.
> Dominik Mikhalkevich, the Alliance’s Belarus-born spokesman, said NATO drills are escalatory and Germany’s defense mandate should be just to protect its own territory.
>“Sanctions against Russia should be dropped, as sanctions always play in the wrong hands,” Mikhalkevich said. “I am from Belarus, a country where Western sanctions have always caused the opposite they were designed to achieve, as illustrated by [Belarusian President Aleksandr] Lukashenko still being around.”
>Much like what happened in the United States, the special trick with Russian misinformation is how it manages to appeal to both the far right and the far left. German rightists love—and cite—Russia’s gripes about alleged Ukrainian oppression of Russian speakers in the country’s east and south and its claimed defense of white Christian European culture, said Jakub Wondreys, of the Hannah Arendt Institute for the Research on Totalitarianism in Dresden. Yet they are curiously quiet about Russia’s claims to be “de-Nazifying” Ukraine, for obvious reasons.
>The left, meanwhile, is happy to ape Putin’s anti-NATO rhetoric but overlooks his social conservatism. “Both sides are cherry-picking their arguments from the Russian disinformation campaign,” Wondreys said.
>But Germany’s left, split between Putin supporters and opponents, is in free fall. It’s the right that is ascendant. An AfD win in the next parliamentary election in 2025 could turn Germany into a big Hungary, said Wolfgang Muno, a political scientist at the University of Rostock. Hungary under Prime Minister Viktor Orban is Russia’s Trojan horse inside the European Union, consistently backing Moscow while blocking Brussels’s efforts to impose sanctions or wean off Russian energy.
>“We can see what happens when Putin lackeys rule in Hungary,” Munro said. If the AfD joins a ruling coalition, he said, sanctions on Russia, and perhaps large-scale German arms deliveries to Ukraine such as Leopard tanks, would be on the chopping block, and Putin would get a lifeline.https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/09/17/east-germany-putin-afd-misinformation/ No.1600529

Saudi Arabia is also asking the U.S. to provide security guarantees for the kingdom as part of such a deal.>The Saudi officials said Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is prepared to move ahead with the Chinese company soon if talks with the U.S. end up failing. China will likely not impose the same kind of nonproliferation requirements, making it a more favorable partner to Saudi Arabia, said Justin Dargin, a Carnegie Endowment for International Peace nonresident fellow who specializes in Middle East energy.And now from yesterday:

The negotiations with China on the other hand seem to be going well and they have the advantage of not requiring any of the absurd demands Washington is making, I'm thinking China is getting a big win here.
In other news, Turkey is finalizing their nuclear plant construction agreement with China too:

The first is under construction by Russia on the Mediterranean coast, while a second, on the Black Sea coast, is still in the planning phase. Russia’s Rosatom as well as South Korean companies are both interested in building the second plant, Bayraktar said, while Turkey is seeking more local participation.Very nice developments! :)

>>1600380>why does East Germany love Russia?I don't think there's a crisis in American imperialism that isn't about Russia kek
Like Russia, East Germany after 1991 has legitimate grievances with liberal capitalism due to dependency. Much of the liberal world order is breaking down along these lines. Left and right weren't bewitched, it's more that democracy as based on a global metropolitan dictatorship is dividing itself by dependency like it does the world. That's why the Ukraine crisis exposed a gap between the European continent outside of the butthurt belt and the Anglosphere. Holding together oppressor nations together on top of the world just isn't working like it used to, and it is failing to unite left and right behind the center. The return of left and right proves that rather than them being bewitched by nonexistent soft power and made to work together in an international conspiracy.
>The left, meanwhile, is happy to ape Putin’s anti-NATO rhetoric but overlooks his social conservatismI like how it's taken for granted this is some sort of contradiction in the left lol.

>>1600380>In his vendetta against the West, Putin has sought to erode Western liberal democracies and the Euro-Atlanticist compact>his vendetta against the WestWhy are libs like this? They literally believe that geopolitics is like an episode of Real Housewives. To them wars happen because of the petty drama of world leaders and not broad socioeconomic forces. Literally a child's understanding of the world.

>>1601036Liberals didn't do anything but unite the world too much, which excludes all structural explanations and centers cultural/psychological ones for the crisis. Jeff Sachs and Mearsheimer alike talk about how the state and corporate media pathologize Putin and Russians in lieu of explaining a crisis they caused in 2014. It then feeds into a lie that the state and media is keeping you ahead in an infowar or strategic competition, which feeds into liberal and Western feelings of developmental supremacy. Imagine by dint of birth you know more about the world than the Russian elite, isn't it wonderful to be a democratic citizen?
Idealism means there's no concept of the West dividing and oppressing the world via capitalism, which is why it bungled the Ukraine crisis after failing to recognize a national question it brought to the fore.
It's literally all just ghosts of the past causing the problems of a new international system. It doesn't have any problems of its own from what I can tell, there's only crisis when its openness is exploited kek
This is why liberalism turned into a secular religion that offers woo not unlike the crankish right it defines itself in contrast to. Russiagate was the nail in the coffin, the world just isn't showing any interest in what is left of the struggle for democracy in the first world. It's throughly bourgeois and now based entirely on upholding a global class system

>>1601018Formally aristocracy was abolished in Germany in 1919, however inofficially they still exist and even have their own aristofag circlejerk courts. Most aristofags moved to the west in 1945 (except class traitors who remained in the DDR) but immediately came back in 1990 and now sit again in their castles on their old property etc.
I met the local count once as he's into forestry and hunting and i have to say he's a fairly decent character. He's less arrogant than expected plus he lacks the smugness of upper middle class liberals & lolberts. I can see why some "traditionalist" rightoids would prefer someone like him over career politicians running the country although it would change absolutely nothing in terms of politics and economics because aristofags are very much content with the status quo. Those monarchist rightoids only care about aesthetics anyway though, they basically want to live medieval RPG style IRL.
>Saxon-ThuringiaThe Saxon House of Wettin and it's Thuringian branch ranks highest among old Euro aristocracy. That Reichsbürger aristofag is minor nobility though.

>>1601029>I don't know when bourgeois democracy became a choice between national and international capitalMost countries not even have the choice between the two and it's all international capital. Not a clear socialism vs capitalism type fo choice that ultras would like to have, but if a choice came, then option for most countries in this current world that we live in is much more towards national development and therefore socialism.

>>1600933>This was almost two months agoWonder how long Russia will remain on the defensive? Wouldn't be super surprised if Putin waits until Ukraine is willing to negotiate and then just takes the separatist states and leaves, but they could go for a lot more if their next offensive is successful.
