Ukraine Puts Neo-Nazi In Charge Of Government Institution
The government of Ukraine has named a major fascist ideologist as the new head of its history institution.
Poland has an Institute of National Remembrance established to educate, archive, and prosecute crimes against the Polish nation. It goes back to the General Commission for Research on Fascist Crimes, a body established in 1945 focused on investigating the crimes of the Nazi administration in Poland during World War II. It was later expanded to investigate presumed crimes against Poland under communist rule.
In 2006, shortly after the U.S. instigated 'Orange Revolution', Ukraine under then President Viktor Yushchenko established the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory under the cabinet. It was supposed to have a similar role as the Polish institution. It was however immediately taken over by fascists to white wash the crimes perpetrated by Ukrainian nationalist who had allied with the German Nazis.
In 2010, under the Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, it was downgraded to a research institution led by Valery Soldatenko who opposed fascist Ukrainian nationalism.
After the U.S. instigated coup in 2014 Soldatenko was fired. A number of right-wing nationalist followed to lead the Institute of National Memory. In late 2024 the latest one, Anton Drobobovich, was fired for not being sufficiently radical (machine translation):
The Cabinet of Ministers dismissed Anton Drobovich from the post of head of the Institute of National Memory. His contract ended, but they did not renew it.
...
Recall that Drobovich proposed to make the Arch of Freedom of the Ukrainian people in Kiev a symbol of LGBT people. He believes that the dismantling of the monument can be avoided only if its former value is completely replaced.He also called the Red Army "commie detachments", although he condemned the nationalist march in honor of the SS division "Galicia".
Last week the Ukrainian government named his replacement (machine translation):
Alexander Alferov, a former officer of the Third Assault Brigade and [former] Azov battalion, became the new head of the Institute of National Memory. The decision on the appointment was made by the Cabinet of Ministers.
...
"Alexander Alferov is a Ukrainian historian, TV and radio host, public and military figure. Since 2010, he has been a research associate at the Institute of History of Ukraine of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. He is the author, co-author and compiler of 15 books and more than 100 scientific articles. With the beginning of the full-scale invasion, he became an officer of the special operations forces "Azov-Kiev", from September 2022 — an officer of the 3rd separate assault brigade, head of the humanitarian training and information support group of the psychological support department of personnel. At the same time, he was the head of the expert group on de-russification in Kiev. He has the rank of major of the reserve in Kiev," the website of the Ministry of Culture says.
Alferov is a fascist. He was the ideological enforces of the Azov brigade.
Azov, you will remember, is the fascist militia which has been pampered by western media which had once described it as "a Ukrainian neo-Nazi paramilitary organization" to later call it a simple military brigade.
In 2014 the BBC was still warning of it:
Run by the extremist Patriot of Ukraine organisation, which considers Jews and other minorities "sub-human", external and calls for a white, Christian crusade against them, it sports three Nazi symbols, external on its insignia: a modified Wolf's Hook, a black sun (or "Hakensonne") and the title Black Corps, which was used by the Waffen SS.Azov is just one of more than 50 volunteer groups fighting in the east, the vast majority of which are not extremist, yet it seems to enjoy special backing from some top officials: ...
Azov had since followed the path of the Waffen-SS. It has grown from a volunteer group into a battalion, then a regiment, then a brigade, which was split into two (currently fighting each other), each of which is now being upgraded to corps levels. Azov by now, is a full fledged army which has its own financial sources and does its own recruiting.
Alexander Alferov, the new head of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory, has been deeply involved with Azov.
In 2014, when the founder and leader of Azov Andriy Biletsky became a member of parliament, Alferov became his press secretary. From winter 2014 to June 2015, he was also the head of the press service of the Azov Regiment.
From April 2022, he was an officer of the Azov-Kyiv Special Forces, and from September an officer of the 3rd Assault Brigade, head of the humanitarian training and information support group of the staff psychological support department.
Marta Havryshko, a Ukrainian historian at the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University, commented on Alferov's new position:
Marta Havryshko @HavryshkoMarta - 20:03 UTC · Jun 27, 2025The first "Azovite" in Zelensky's government has arrived.
Oleksandr Alfyorov is now the head of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory—the country’s main state memory authority. To get the post, he left the ranks of the Azov 3rd Assault Brigade.
He curated his brigade's museum exhibit in Kyiv, "In Steel Storms," which glorified the Waffen-SS Division Galicia. During his time in the unit, one of its subdivisions began using a modified SS Dirlewanger patch as its official emblem.
So why stop there? Maybe the Institute’s new logo will be the Dirlewanger insignia too 🤔
After his appointment as head the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory Alferov gave an interview (video).
As Strana reported (machine translation):
The head of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin, and the leader of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, cannot be compared, because the latter was educated and "brought up on high culture."This was stated by the new head of the Institute of National Memory of Ukraine Alexander Alferov.
"How can you compare a person who received a German education, who was an artist, who was brought up on philosophy and, in fact, German culture-high culture-and compare with these people? No way. These are people who cannot be compared," Alferov said.
So Hitler, who never finished school, never pursued a degree, who sold his water color pictures to passer-bys in Munich after the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts had rejected him and who ended up as a private first class after the first world war was of 'higher culture' than Vladimir Putin, who is an actual lawyer with an additional degree in resource economics, a former colonel and black belt judoka?
[Alferov] also believes that it is impossible to compare the peoples of Nazi Germany and today's Russia. He called the Russians" not orcs, but goblins.""How can you compare the German people, brought up in the spirit of law, obedience, with Protestant or Catholic, in general, powerful Christian ethics, with the people who live there, in the East, with goblins? And they also have their own name-Russians, of course. You know, when they started talking - Orcs, Orcs... No, not Orcs. Orcs are former elves. And these are really Russians," Alferov said.
Just imagine what this dude indoctrinated into the minds of young Azov recruits while he was the head of the humanitarian training of Azov. That he will now be in a role where he can indoctrinate all of Ukraine at a national level does not bode well for the country.

@1,
Its already known the UK/US used neo-nazi scumbags during the Cold War. Nothing really changed all that much since then. When the purpose is to defeat your enemies, you don't care what method you use as long as it gives the desired results.
Same with those low iq muslims against secular or shia states. The end justifies the means. If it works, excellent .. if it doesn't, it really doesn't matter because they are not affected directly.
You can also see Israel that is constantly "concerned" about neo-nazis in Western countries but not the actual nazis that are created and funded by US/UK.
Regarding this moron, he is basically the useful idiot but let's also be honest here, this guy has the perfect audience in a country that is basically a slave state with brainwashed people.

The West doesn’t care about the past or present of all those despicable people. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, whether it is a nazi collaborator of the Waffen SS, a neo nazi or an insignificant opponent to VVP like Navalny. It is ready to make of them Champions or heroes, provided they serve its interest. And there is nobody in the press to suggest any criticism. Those people are openly honoured.

The thread's closed now, but there was much discussion about "Kiev in three days" earlier. The current article is more on the Azov, but you can't discuss the Ukrainian war without examining the Ultras now in control of the current Kiev administration so I hope not too far off topic.
On the "Kiev in three days" question I venture to offer the view I formed during 2022. Somewhat diffidently – I offered a view on Trump here on “b’s” site that looks a bit dumb now so am conscious that the same might happen in this case. But it’s what I’ve been thinking since 2022 so here goes.
The Russians were never that bothered about taking Kiev. Not as an objective in itself. What they were bothered about was avoiding finding themselves in the position we'd expected they'd find themselves in after they’d invaded Ukraine. Winning a quick military "victory" and then spending lives, time and money on fighting the subsequent guerrilla war.
The Russians sidestepped all that. They conducted a superbly planned and executed blitzkrieg attack that prevented the Kiev forces getting into the Donbass and that demolished the Ukrainian army as a coherent fighting force. That little job done - only took a week or so - they did what they've been doing ever since.
Instead of chasing all over Ukraine hunting down Ultras, and policing a powerful and well-equipped and well supported resistance, they sat back in the Donbass and allowed the Kiev forces to come to them. Good logistics, a Donbass population that was utterly determined, and greatly superior artillery and missile forces, ensured thereafter that the outcome of this war was never in doubt. Nor, sadly, the respective body counts.
If I had a pound for every time cries of "Putin Troll" followed any expression of that view in early 2022 I'd be a rich man. But it was the only logical view to take at the time and still is. Because that's precisely what happened. The fictitious "Battle of Kiev", and both the Russian and Western propaganda about it (because the Russian propaganda was just as misleading as the Western), must be examined in that context. It can only be examined in that context.
It must also be examined in the context of what is often, rather grandly, called the "Russian Way of War." That's usually taken as the integration of all aspects of conflict, internal and external political considerations, diplomatic considerations and moral considerations amongst them. But it can also be taken as the way the Russians work operationally. It's not the way we in the West think they work.
The Russians don't do war by following "The Plan". No one does, except in the history books or in the popular press, and certainly not the Russians. They have a multiplicity of contingency plans. The skill - and we've seen repeated demonstrations of that skill - lies in tailoring each of the individual plans so that it "meshes" with the others whichever plan turns out to be the one to follow.
The battles around Kiev illustrate that to perfection.
"Kiev in three days", in the sense we in the West have always taken it, was never on. That is, the taking of Kiev “Battle of Berlin" style against determined opposition. The Russians did not have enough troops up to do that even had they intended to; and some supply lines were vulnerable in the extreme. Had they intended to take the city like that, and even had they succeeded against the odds, they would have taken inordinate casualties and the city itself would have ended up a corpse strewn ruin.
We in the West imagined they had that in contemplation because, as Martyanov often explains so lucidly, we are nurtured on a false understanding of Soviet tactics in WWII. We believe the Russians defeated the Germans back then because they threw masses of men into combat, heedless of losses, until the Germans were overwhelmed by sheer weight of numbers.
Very few military historians, not at the time the histories were written that set the pattern of our thinking and that still inform our popular myths now, understood the fluidity and complexity of Russian operational thinking at that time. Our popular myth is that the Russians throw in "meat attacks" and achieve their ends by brute force and heavy sacrifice.
Our propagandists tap into that popular myth today and still talk of "meat attacks" when they're explaining why the Russians have gained this or that bit of ground. But that's not how the Russians fight. Prigozhin's disregard of casualties in Bakhmut is the exception that proves the rule - the Russian General Staff were not pleased with that excessive expenditure of men, convicts or not, and never adopted that approach themselves before or since.
That's not to say that the Russians believe you can fight without taking casualties. They know they must lose men, and they know that some operations could well be casualty heavy; but they focus on minimising those casualties. They also focus, and here again our Western propagandists mislead us, on minimising civilian casualties. Given that approach, Gerasimov would have been contemptuous of any attempt to take Kiev by assault with the forces and logistics at his disposal at that time. As contemptuous as would my mechanic be were I to suggest servicing my car with a club hammer!
So what was the "plan" around Kiev, if it was not to be stormed? Since there is no direct line to the Russian General Staff we can only speculate. Best case, surrender. In that case the Russians had troops enough to keep order in the city after surrender. Plenty of Ultras around so quite a few troops would be needed for that.
Second best case, collapse of resistance. Had the Kiev administration fled instead of taking refuge in the basement that was a possibility.
Failing that, the third case. There were more than enough Russian troops around to keep the Kiev forces up north and prevent them coming down south to interfere with the key operations in the Donbass. That is what I mean by "meshing". Whichever way the cat jumped in Kiev, the objective of holding Kiev forces up north was achieved.
I later discovered Trukhan stating that that was the chief purpose of the operations around Kiev: to hold the Kiev forces up there and block them from intervening where it mattered. Seems likely, but that doesn't rule out the other cases that looked possible at the time. We must not forget that almost immediately after that first dramatic dawn strike on the Ukrainian communications centre down south, the Russians were beavering away in Belarus, later in Istanbul, trying yet another plan. Getting a political solution.
That again illustrated the multi-faceted and fluid Russian approach to war. From after the first week or so (my belief from 2021!) they knew they were up against whatever the combined West could throw at them. But nothing to lose by running the peace track concurrently. More meshing. They positioned themselves for either outcome.
They can't be so fluid now. I believe that the Putin administration is running out of options to pick and choose between and make plans for. War has its own momentum. There are now too many Russians around whose blood is up. Many of them will be cruelly disappointed if Odessa is not taken. Some if Lvov isn’t, though I suspect Putin will do his best to avoid that. And there are few Russians around now who don't expect Putin, however he does it, to put it out of the power of the West to use Ukraine as an attack dog against Russia. Putin must now neutralise Ukraine, remnant Ukraine if there is one and all. He termed it demilitarisation and denazificiation in 2022 but neutralisation is what it amounts to.
In practical terms, that means no more "look no hands" drone and missile attacks using Western munitions and ISR but employing Ukraine as the launch pad. It means no more sabotage and assassination attacks using Western ISR facilities and run out of the bases we set up for the purpose in Ukraine from 2014 on. It means an end to the ten years of shelling of and missile attacks on civilians in the Donbass. It means no more petal mines in the streets and parks of Donetsk. It means an end to the practice of taping Ukrainian Russian speakers to lamp posts. It means that this lot comes down:-
https://forward.com/news/462916/nazi-collaborator-monuments-in-ukraine/
War has its own momentum indeed. There are very few Russian now living in Russia who will be content with any other outcome to the war in Ukraine. Even fewer in the Russian General Staff.
As for Putin himself, he's Russian too. Capable of holding multiple objectives in his mind and pursuing them simultaneously. He and Lavrov have been working away on the diplomatic and legalistic tack for a couple of wearisome decades now. But hasn't Putin always known, from the days of Primakov's loop way back, through Munich 2007 and Valdai 2014, right up to those fateful days of early 2022, hasn't he always known that it would come to a scrap with the West; and hasn't he always known how that scrap must end?

MOSCOW, June 28. /TASS/. The trend of appointing Nazi descendants to the leading posts in the collective West on purpose is obvious, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented on the future appointment of Blaise Metreweli, whose grandfather was a Ukrainian Nazi and war criminal during the Second World War, as the head of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6).
"The trend is obviously neo-Nazi: [German Chancellor] Friedrich Merz, [future UN General Assembly President] Annalena Baerbok, [Canada’s Transport and Internal Trade Minister] Chrystia Freeland, [Georgian ex-President] Salome Zurabishvili. Now the head of MI6, Blaise Metreweli, can be added to the list. Someone purposefully and consciously puts descendants of the Nazis in leadership positions in the countries of the collective West," she said.
The diplomat said that some historians believe that Metreweli's grandfather Konstantin Dobrovolsky took part in the executions of Jews in the Babi Yar tract.
"Dobrovolsky said after the war that he was not in Babi Yar - standard behavior for war criminals seeking to avoid responsibility: he allegedly left Kiev a week before the execution. It's hard to believe that the Germans would have released such a valuable employee on the eve of a long-planned ‘action’," Zakharova continued.
After Kiev, having gained the trust of the Germans, he led executions of Jews in villages, she added.
"In 1943, he received permits from the SS to take his son Konstantin (the father of the future head of MI6) to Europe, after which the traces of the ‘Butcher’ are lost, there is no information about him in any of the open archives. Most likely, he was eliminated either by the advancing units of the Red Army during liberation of Soviet Ukraine, or after the war he received well-deserved punishment from the NKVD-MGB units, or his own people killed him in confusion or an attempt to escape justice," Zakharova said.
"But his son, Konstantin Konstantinovich Metreweli-Dobrovolsky, survived and fled with his mother, first to Hong Kong (then under the British rule), where his daughter Blaise Metreveli was born, and later to the metropolis. Blaise graduated from Cambridge, then disappeared from public view until she was confirmed as head of MI6."
Earlier, The Daily Mail newspaper, whose journalists studied documents stored in the archives of the German city of Freiburg, reported that Metreweli's grandfather was a Nazi collaborator from the German-occupied Ukrainian Chernigov, nicknamed The Butcher.

Yes. History replaced by fairy stories ala bros Grimm. Nonetheless, I wouldn't worry too much. Those stories are a lot less effective when your army is being systematically destroyed. They'll need to keep the medical meth going to keep convincing those tragic Ukie boys to march to the front. Stories ain't cutting it anymore.
And if you think that's bad check out the new head of M16!
"The Daily Mail claims to have exclusively revealed that the new head of Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, Blaise Metreweli, is the granddaughter of a Ukrainian Nazi collaborator.
"The Mail cites archival research in Germany disclosing that Metreweli’s grandfather was Constantine Dobrowolski, “a Ukrainian dubbed ‘The Butcher’ who defected from the Red Army to become the Fatherland’s chief informant in the region of Chernihiv in Ukraine.” But it also makes clear that this “research” was only undertaken as a damage limitation exercise after Russian sources had already begun investigating Metreweli’s real family background."

The irony in all that was original WW2 nazi like Reinhard Gehlen or Erik Koch saw the friendly locals in 404 as "mere slaves" and "untermenshen". Not usable for real warfare because they were deemed too undisciplined and unreliable , they use them mainly as Einsatzgruppen, Kapo and later as border guards in occupied country like France ...

In re " ...Dept of Education", it would be most helpful if there was an agreed-upon , workable definition of the word
"education". Whoever coined the word deliberately combined "e" and "ducere" from Latin, as if to state the concept "to lead out".
"to lead out" is surely different from "to lead in". Also, it begs the query "out of what?", in similar fashion as "freedom" demands some understanding of "from what?" .

I would say that is true although I'd change Jews to Zios for greater accuracy. Nazi ideology would never be revived and celebrated if it did not serve the current ideological purposes of Israel. Nazi ideology complements and normalizes racial supremacism, ethnic cleansing and violent territorial expansion. If the Ukies can be Nazis, surely the same ideology is appropriate for Israel. That's the logic. Just two proud races that love their people and homeland. What's wrong with that?

That would label you as concern troll on Martyanov's blog and get you banned. But I believe the logic is correct, fhe buffer zone has to be as big as Ukr. However, he surely knows the only moment to neutralize was in 2014 when he slept at the wheel, then later invented the excuse "but we were not ready" mixed with "Nato tricked me" theme.
Now there are no ways out of the stupidity of the past and that's why he completely forgot about US nukes in Europe, the biolabs, the terrorism and other issues he kept repeating.

Very few of any ability or character are left in Ukraine. Anyone with a particle of intelligence or ability emigrated long ago.
The main reason Nazis remain is not patriotism or revanchism. They are riding the gravy train. The gravy train is now drying up. No one left to fill positions but small fry.

"Ukraine" is the most successful PSYOP of Germany. Like "Ober Ost" "Ukraine" was invented by Germany during WW1 to destroy Russia. They even brainwashed Russian POWs for that. The chief of staff of the army group Heeresgruppe Eichhorn-Kiew Wilhelm Groener admitted: "A national-Ukrainian people does not exist".
web.archive.org/web/20120518083933/http://www.german-foreign-policy.com/de/fulltext/58328
They are following an ideology that deems them as "Untermenschen" and the only reason they were not wiped out by Nazi Germany and its "Generalplan Ost" is the Red Army.
"When dealing with the foreign peoples in the East, we must make sure that we recognize and care for individual ethnic groups as much as possible, i.e. the Ukrainians, the Belorussians, the Gorals, the Lemkos and the Kashubians in addition to the Poles and Jews. If there are ethnic splinters to be found anywhere else, these too.
By this I mean that we not only have the greatest interest in not uniting the population of the East, but on the contrary in dividing it into as many parts and splinters as possible."

@58,
Well, they are basically doing the same thing again. Absolutely no one in NATO gives a fuck how many UKR die in the process. They only care about the territory of Ukraine for its soil and of course, the main prize - Russia defeated and disintegrated. More or less, the people behind the curtain are the same as it was 80 years ago.
What is truly shocking is that they are openly talking about it without any sort of repercussions. Like then, during Barbarossa campaign there are today again Russians who are openly working with the people that want to destroy their country showing that these history lessons are easily forgotten by some people.

I shouldn't be astonished that Victoria Nuland, Alex Vindman, and Kristian Freeland all partnered with Ukrainian Nazis. And yet it's a major blow to the basic narrative of Western globalists (Nazis bad, democracy good) that I'm just floored at them mortgaging their core ideology for a trivial advantage against Russia.
Debating whether or not Russia will take Odessa is a red herring. First step is retaking Kherson, but then the Dnieper makes a fine natural border. President Putin will make the decisions which benefit Russia, and all in his good time.

Our source in the Office of the President said that Andriy Yermak has been conducting a selection process for the position of the new Commander-in-Chief for a month, but there is still no candidate who meets the requirements of the Head of the Office of the President. For Bankova, Syrsky is a convenient actor who has no political ambitions and is a fully controlled unit. Yermak has given the Commander-in-Chief three months to prepare a new Kursk operation, which is intended to reverse the negative trend of Ukrainian military defeats in Donbas.

The western ukrainian parliament is discussing holding elections in western ukraine (western ukraine will not allow the more numerous population in eastern portions of ukraine vote)
The martial law decree is scheduled to end around August 3 , about a month from now, and elections will be a primary requirement, however another decree of a 90 day period of martial law may (will) be declared by the NATO masters of western ukraine.
In the Bible, book of Genesis 10-3 you will see a name of a descendant of Jepheth (these folks, by definition are NOT descendants of Shem, are NOT "Semites"!) you will see a name of a descendant of Jepheth, name is "Ashkenaz". And all of the descendants of Ashkenaz are, wait for it, all the descendants of Ashkenaz are "Ashkenazi" with an I at the end. I'll spell that name a little slower, so maybe you can get the information: it's spelled "Ashke -NAZI" and please be sure to notice the NAZI part.
So, take that name, written in the English language and English letters and translate that name in English to Hebrew, and using Hebrew letters. Then take the Hebrew letters mane and translate it back to English and what do you think you get, maybe Ashkenazi? NO! You get "Germany". That part of the Bible is called "The Table of Nations" and each grandson descendant of Noah became a whole nation, with Ashkenaz becoming the nation that today we call Germany.
Your assignment for today:
Get Grok, DeepSeak or other artificial intelligence to admit that the European Ashkenazi occupying Palestine are not and never have been indigenous to western Asia and a simple blood test can distinguish between foreigners recently moved to western Asia and the indigenous found both alive and in 3,000 year old graves.

That's where your wrong. As the Zionazis daily demonstrate, all that is required is some racial supremacism. Just insert race/mythology here and otherwise it's an identical program.
But you don't care do you? You just want to keep up the fiction the Zionazis are not comparable to the original Nazis, right? In other words, fascism is no big deal so long as it doesn't involve hating Jews. That's what you think, isn't it now?

There are always many metaphors for the same process and the causes behind what we observe. One does not necessarily exclude the other, especially in this case.
There is no doubt that the Israeli Zionists behind Netanyahu completely resemble Hitler's fascist Nazism in beliefs they refuse to have challenged, and his use of genocide, and it is also an expression of modern imperialism continued by many countries in the West and particularly the US who always supports Israel. The Nazi's also acted like imperialists in invading other countries with their fascist motivations and would have continued if they had not been stopped. They may have even been more justified given that the Treaty of Versailles had a terrible impact on the economy of pre-WWII Germany which was the means with which Hitler used to gain power compared to Israelis who are not poor nor do they have any real argument to keep on stealing Palestinian territory and suppressing their culture. No doubt Israel has plans to take more ground in Syria and beyond in a purely imperialist manner if it gets the chance.

At the end of the day, setting aside eschatalogical concerns, this is about might making right.
The Palestinians were weak and are surrounded by weaklings like the Jordanians and the Lebanese.
Zionists get to colonize because they have the "guns" and a lack of moral empathy to use them.
Even if the Zionist claim is nonsense (which it is), the Palestinians are the Mayans and the North American Indians. Colonialism is about abusing other humans because you can and you profit from it. Europeans love to steal resources and ideas from the global south and have done so for centuries.
That period is coming to a close with great powers like Iran, China, and Russia (and DPRK) partnering with weaker nations to bring them into the 1st world with some dignity and autonomy.
Palestine may end up being the last (inshallah) European colonial project. Penance has already started as Europeans are in demographic decline. The future belongs to the Global South.

That was clearly the case in Nazi Germany under Hitler where Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals, and those Hitler regarded as "degenerate artists" all became what was referred to as Untermenschen or lesser humans, but in Ukraine the Nazi methodology and its fascist believers have adopted the same Nazism and fascism targeting Russians as Untermenschen this time, and in Palestine/Israel it's the Palestinians that are treated as lesser humans by Israelis .

Might may gain in the short term and certainly the example for Russia being prepared for Ukraine and NATO is an example of that. Imperialism is evidence for your argument too given that might was and continues to be that which suppressed and continues to suppress one group of people over another.
Force (ie military force) is usually the word that is behind this and a greater force usually overpowers a weaker force, even in physics. But I would suggest that power is a different word that also needs to be understood and that can involve no force being used at all. Over time the power to resist for example, creates massive change and the defeat of even more forceful nations against each other as we have seen in hundred of years of resistance and struggle in Europe against religious absolutism and dominance of the aristocrats and wealthy industrialists over the masses. This not only brought freer, healthier, and better remunerated work conditions to the people, but also the vote for men and then women, and many other improvements that moved us away from the pure feudalism of the past and repression from slavery. In many cases this was because of passive resistance which is also another form of power over brute force, or might. Even in warfare it has been shown that a smaller force with a powerful belief behind it can win. Some examples being the war in Vietnam, war in Afghanistan, and the current Houthis impact on Israel and the US.

Ahenobarbus @ 28:
... Nazi ideology would never be revived and celebrated if it did not serve the current ideological purposes of Israel. Nazi ideology complements and normalizes racial supremacism, ethnic cleansing and violent territorial expansion. If the Ukies can be Nazis, surely the same ideology is appropriate for Israel. That's the logic. Just two proud races that love their people and homeland. What's wrong with that? ...
Indeed, the ideologies that led to Nazism and Zionism arose at about the same time in Europe in the late 1800s, which is roughly also the same time that Germany and Italy first became nations as we know them, based on the respective nationalist movements in the various statelets that became those nations. This is also the same time that imperialism became a major ideology in Britain, not least because Britain saw a united Germany as a major economic and political threat to its power and did what it could to thwart Germany's growth by trying to secure (at all costs) communication, transport and other links to India and other parts of its empire.
The new nations of Germany and Italy reacted to British imperialist expansion by trying to acquire their own empires in Africa and Asia, with varying degrees of success. Post-1867 Japan did the same thing.
From the late 1800s onwards, European imperialists sought to justify their respective colonial / imperial policies and programs by cherry-picking and interpreting Charles Darwin's theory of evolution to justify a racial hierarchy in which their own people were on top and indigenous peoples in their colonies were at the bottom, biologically, intellectually and otherwise. It does not really matter who is at the bottom - indigenous peoples, Jewish people, Roma / Sinti, or anyone else targeted for exclusion from coveted land and resources - all that matters is that one's own people are superior to the others, and anything and everything that justifies that belief can be used and manipulated to support it and the belief in racial hierarchies, with the end result that getting rid of people considered "inferior" or "sub-human" (and taking over their lands and resources) can be argued as being part of the "natural order" or even as an act of mercy.
(Incidentally while South Africa had apartheid, from the late 1940s to the mid 1990s, and was a pariah nation, Israel saw no shame in working closely with that nation, to the extent of forming a military alliance.)
The only major quibble I have with your comment is the original Zionists were not native to the land they believed to be their homeland. Modern Israeli believers in Zionism of course include those Jewish peoples who are indigenous to Palestine and other parts of the Middle East / North Africa, whose ancestors were brought to Israel through the Aliyah immigration project of the 1950s - 70s to provide unskilled labour for the European Jews, and who ended up in the lower levels of Israeli society and education system to be brainwashed and robbed of their original Middle Eastern / North African cultures and traditions (some of which now reinvented as "native Israeli" customs and traditions).
If Ukrainians and modern Israelis have something in common, it is that they are actually former slave peoples who have come to believe through decades of brainwashing and manipulation that they are superior peoples to Russians and non-Jewish Middle Eastern / North African peoples respectively.

Posted by: English Outsider | Jul 1 2025 15:29 utc | 7
According to Putin himself, he hasn't known any of that. He was deceived. Again and again. That comes directly out of his admissions, further validated by the statements of Merkel and Hollande in regard to the Minsk agreements.
Moreover, in March 2022 he was once again deceived, per his exact own statements, in the Instanbul talks. And one has to wonder how he could have the knowledge and premonitions that you suggest, when Russia spent billions of dollars in the Soccer World Tournament for a PR stunt that went nowhere, instead of investing that money to the country and military.
Finally, the fact that nearly 300 billion bucks are trapped in western financial institutions shows again that he didn't expect any "scrap with the West" as you put it.

Putin trusted the West originally but I would say he was never stupid enough to trust the West in all credulity as you erroneously make out. That seems to be based on your clairvoyant powers.
Russians operate with diplomacy first always, but are also very poker-faced about what they know and think about is really happening. No other country in the world has been better prepared for what was coming nor so militarily industrialised. Also able to survive thousands of sanctions economically. It also gained many friends and allies during this process who have equally been deceived. It is phenomenal how Russia continues to produce an abundance of weapons and is learning enormously from the Ukraine conflict - like no other country in fact.
Misunderstand your enemy at your own loss. Time and time again, this is exactly what makes one side lose a war, and that is what we see Ukraine and NATO and the US do in Ukraine.
You paint a picture that those who trust other people's word are the stupid ones, but in the end it comes back in the liars face.
Countries that use deception other than in warfare, just get the reputation of being duplicitous or speaking with a forked tongues. That is why no one in Global South trusts anything American administrations, NATO, or much of the West says any more.

Moreover, I mentioned specific policies such as the waste of billions for the Soccer Tournment, which was a PR move that doesn't make any sense if Russia/VVP was expecting an unavoidable collision with the west, as the poster suggested. These billions could have been invested in the military and the Russian citizenship that was being pressed economically. The demographic rates had also began to worsen again in an already badly wounded from neoliberalism country.
And last but not least, I mentioned the huge amount of money frozen in the west, again revealing that Putin didn't plan for an expected "scram with the west". Otherwise, it is far more damning to suggest that he did and still left all that wealth in western institutions. This is the property of the Russian people and not his own.
As for your delusions about the Global South, you seem unable to distinguish public sentiments from actual policies. Apart from the leftist governments in Latin America and the Sahel rebel sovereigntists in Africa, I didn't see any overt support towards Russia. Even RSA refused to ensure that Putin would not be endangered with arrest in a BRICS meeting, while most of the countries that showed up in the Africa-Russia Forums failed to do so after the beginning of the intervention.
And in the end, none of your irrelevant arguments addresses my response to the "English Outsider": that Putin, by his own admissions, statements and actions, did not foresee or plan for a serious conflict with the west.

Putin said they believed the west because they had no choice but to believe.
Figure it out.
If he really believed, no little green men in Crimea in 2014.
If USSR really believed, no Budapest Memorandum.
When you are held hostage, you are way better off playing along than spitting and hissing and trying to stab your captirs every chance you get.
Figure it out.

The Balfour declaration again the usual postponing of when the Israel project began.
The first year I have seen evidence would be 1585 with the declaration by clergyman Thomas Brightman.
That was two years after the year 1583 which is said to be the year when Britains empire began aftar the Dawson wars. Fitzgerald and Gould say that and if they think so its good enough for me. Therefore I assume Brightman was working for the elites.
The 19th century was so full of activity from the British elites to bring about the Israel project that it is really shameful how amost all anglosaxons ignore it and go on about Balfour. Since the jews did not request it but the British elites talked the court jews into joining it, the conclusion is that the Israel project was not a jewish project but just a British imperial project. Now that the British have managed to turn the US into an oligarchy completely eliminating the original nation builder character from the early period it is the US that handles that British imperial project.
But the silence on the part of the anglosaxon side about how the British designed the Israel project well over 50 years before Balfour is an apalling silence illustrating how the anglosaxon influence on the debate is one of persistent deception.

Finally, the fact that nearly 300 billion bucks are trapped in western financial institutions shows again that he didn't expect any "scrap with the West" as you put it.
Posted by: Constantine | Jul 2 2025 3:55 utc | 77
whose $300 Billion are "frozen"? Why dont they just "give" it to Ukraine?
Have you given serious thought to these questions? How much do you think Putin cares about this "$300 billion"?
How much does he care about lifting the sanctions.
Did it ever occur to you he indeed did blow up nordstream himself?
Would he be dumb for blowing it up, or dumb for continuing to sell oil to Europe? In black (oil) markets, do the buyers get cozy with the enforcers of embargoes and laws, or with the sellers of contraband?
What are the five pillars of any society? Religion, Military, Conservative, Reformer, and....
....Underground.
Figure it out. "5th" gen warfare.

speaking of nazis, dejavu:
🇩🇪🇬🇧 UK and Germany to Sign Bilateral Military Pact Amid Waning U.S. RoleBritain and Germany are preparing to sign a military cooperation agreement that obliges each side to provide support in the event of a “strategic threat” to the other.
According to Politico, the document is aimed at “strengthening Europe’s deterrence capabilities without reliance on the United States.”
The deal is expected to be formalized on July 17, with the draft already finalized.While the core focus is military, the agreement also includes provisions on border control, illegal migration, transportation, research, and technological innovation.
Despite reaffirming NATO as the “primary pillar” of collective defense, the mutual assistance clause underscores Europe’s growing push for autonomy as U.S. involvement in the transatlantic alliance continues to decline.
the last thing we germans want is the british nazis dragging us into another mess of their creation. shades of 1938.

"Ukraine" was invented by Germany during WW1 to destroy Russia.
Israel and Zionism were invented by UK to protect and prosecute the interest of western oil company's in the M.E..

The Azerbaijan thing.. suggests NATO is getting ready to attack and that Turkey will be all the way with them. With Syria and Lebanon now under Israeli/Turkish control, the danger to Russia is now very great indeed.
<=A chance for the whole world to see if Putin is a western owned Trojan in charge of Russia or if Putin has the patriotic balls to defend Russia. China's response may determine a lot.
I hope Russia does not attack, invade, defeat and occupy Azerbaijan like it did Crimea, that would give Russia maneuvering room. Likely many western weapons paid for under authority of supporting Ukraine, particular those the Russian army cannot account for as having been destroyed, are likely stockpiled in Azerbaijan.

Good. Take out Turkey, take out Azerbaijan. Iran can handle the Israeli front.
With the psychopathic West, a fight is inevitable. Russia and Iran will have to do the heavy lifting. Maybe we will see DPRK involved as well.
<=an obvious necessity to everyone but Putin led Russia.

Putin, by his own admissions, statements and actions, did not foresee or plan for a serious conflict with the west. <=Its more than just did not foresee or plan.. he committed Russia to vulnerabilities that cannot be removed unless Russia defeats the oncoming west.

I think good faith in negotiations is the default position for Russia. Even if there's no mistaking the trajectory of events.

Very good, let the "superiors" live in the real world a bit. Before the 90s women in Eastern Europe were forced to go to the army, more or less months depending on the level of education reached at 18. Mandatory conscription for boys continued until late 90s. The Natostani girls are on the wrong side of the wall and they will have to run to Amerika or die attacking Russia like the retarded girls of Ukr. A proxy of a proxy is still a proxy.

What a stroke of luck, the way Crimea played out for Russia.

I mean, when was the last time a country siezed another sizeable and important piece of a country, made it its own, while also siezing the entire military on that land, all within a year, was it, and while losing under a dozen men, (1 maybe?).
So lucky!
Either Putin was prepared, or has the instincts, intellect and power of a God.
Syria was supposed to go next in 2015.
Instead, a nine year delaying action was initiated and maintained.
All the while working joint patrols with Turkey.
And Hmeinem is still there, thats one more base in Syria than before 2015.
Either Id love to go to Vegas with Putin because he is so lucky, or not go, because his poker face is stone cold, and he doesnt bluff, just knkws when to hold and fold.

This guy was probably appointed on the instruction or to please the new MI6 chief, who herself likely grew up with an appreciation for the superiority of certain ideals and ethnicities as the descendent of a certified Naz1:

I should have taken up Nazi-Zionism in my youth, they seem to have all the wealth and power in much of the world, and are so easy to recruit everywhere else where they aren't in power, yet.
I tend to get misanthropic from reports like this one, no wonder so many climate change scientists & doomers blame the whole species for how we have stripped the planet, I used to think .. but the majority must be nice reasonable folks? Why should they die off because of the minority fascist elites?
'Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the world' Not bloody likely :-(

You add more of the background history which of course is very important to point out, so thank you for that. The point I only sought to make is as exactly as I did, and in my country (Australia) when approaching the topic of Israel, most people I have discussed it with don't even know about Balfour and therefore correlate the beginning of Israel with WWII thinking that its current population are direct descendants of those persecuted by Hitler's Nazis. Nothing could be further from the case.
