Hey, I just watched your video on ScrewTube who cancelled me. I'm an American born of a pure Russian father who is now a journalist. My grandparents proved you can't out run the deep state, you must fight them where you are!

I would love to do some podcasts with you guys, they do not want us speaking! andyz7@verizon.net I have a Substack too.

Rigged elections have consequences. None of this would be happening if our legitimate president, Trump, were still in office. The globalists control America and they're using the Ukrainian conflict to steal America's wealth for themselves. They don't mind if the conflict goes nuclear, they'll be safe and sound.

This is a psyop, shame on New York Post for perpetrating #fakenews!

Deputy information minister of the DPR, Danil Bezsonov writes : A video appeared in which people behind the scenes shot a soldier in the uniform of the Armed Forces of #Ukraine . There is reason to believe that they shot a #Russian soldier, who was dressed in a #Ukrainian uniform. He is asking everyone who recognized the man in the video to Identify him. The video first appeared on #Ukranian Ultra-Nationalist channel. And was quickly picked up from there.

Another factor in the loss of maritime advantage was the industrial revolution. When factories can be located almost anywhere a transportation system such as railways and highways is available for distributing raw materials, production for markets, and most importantly, the distribution systems via maritime routes close to sources of raw materials is lessened.

"... soon, Armatas vs Abrams" and "Its primary military symbol is the main battle tank".

But there are no Armatas, and Russia is using T-62s. There is simply no comparison between the two countries.

Ioannis Andris, you are a cypher to me, as I cannot find out anything about you, beyond the few words in the sentence above, so I don't have a context, within which to view your talented exposition.

You have a Greek name, yet write with Ameriican English usage, in an unencumbered style, enjoying flourishes, broad and fine brush strokes, and with a comfortable certainty of your views. You have read and understood western literature and philosophy, so it is improbable that you are an American, yet you appear to have associated with fairly young Americans, and likely in an information-technology setting. It unnerved you a bit. You seem to have caught a scent of hubris.

You write in the "royal we" first person plural:

"It is our belief that the next major civilization to be born will merge elements of both traditional metaphysics, aimed at the great beyond of the infinite space around us, and technological advancements aimed at allowing man to cross it towards new worlds and adventures. The first is closer to the ever truth-seeking and truth-affirming Russian psyche, the second closer to the indomitable American innovative spirit but both can contribute to it."

Are "you" actually a composite author? The first 2 paragraphs of this essay are different from the rest, written at another time, perhaps, in a coy, pandering and disingenuous style.

How am I to trust the writer of that second-paragraph in particular, a writer who reverses the observable character traits of George W. Bush and Vladimir Putin, who pretends that heads-of-state are all the "leaders" of nations.

One of those men was, and one was not, when they met. It's obvious which was which.

I have cautiously enjoyed your talented painting of the American and Russian characters, but if I am to take you seriously I will need to know who you are, your life experience to date, and what your intentions truly are.

After all, you make the case that I am Russian, which is counterfactual in our physical world.

I await your sincere reply.

America and the West's biggest advantage is soft power. Russian elites care very much what Important People in the US or Germany think. They want their kids to be accepted at Stanford, they want to be able to join London clubs. They buy luxury properties in New York and Spain. Getting into a Chinese university? A private club in Hong Kong? Not so much.

By contrast, very few Americans look at Russia with anything other than fear mixed with disdain. They don't send their kids to MGU, if they learn Russian it's merely a few words learned for opposition research purposes. They don't talk about the shopping to be had on Tverskaya or vacation in Yalta.

Which is why Russia is so excited when some C List American film star or retired athlete takes Russian citizenship, but America barely notices when members of the Russian beaumonde do the same.

not bad. but as usual with RWA content, Kirill's emphasis on "no ideology" pervades this piece. Russia today is at war with the whole of world capital, which America leads. getting harder to ignore that this war may just be a tiff amongst the bourgeoisie whose victor is immaterial.
