I LED TALKS ON DONBAS AND CRIMEA IN THE 90S. HERE’S HOW THE WAR SHOULD END.

After the #USSR’s breakup, the #OSCE knew that the large number of #Russian speakers in #Ukraine would become an issue.

The dilemma, as I shuttled back and forth between #Kiev and #Simferopol, the Crimean capital, was that #Crimea fell under Ukrainian sovereignty, but its population was majority Russian and saw no reason to be part of Ukraine.

From the nineteenth century, Crimea was Russian, until #1954, when Soviet Communist Party Chair Nikita #Khrushchev, for reasons that still have historians scratching their heads, decided to switch Crimea from the #Soviet Russian republic to the Soviet Ukrainian republic.

Even after 1954, Crimea was effectively governed more from #Moscow than from Kyiv.

When the Soviet Union was dissolved, Crimea’s population suddenly found itself a minority in a foreign country.

Ukraine accepted a need for a certain degree of self-rule, but Crimea declared independence as what it called the Crimean Republic.

Over Ukraine’s objection, an election for president was called in the declared Crimean Republic, and a candidate was elected on a platform of merger with Russia.

At the time, however, the Russian government was not prepared to back the Crimeans........ MORE

Nazis Are Actually Fine Now, According to the Southern Poverty Law Center and Anti-Defamation League

.....This fearful narrative was propelled by episodes which may now appear somewhat farcical in hindsight, but at the time were taken deadly seriously.

One example was an alleged spate of anti-semitic hate crimes that occurred in 2017 — a series of “bomb threat” phone calls were placed to Jewish Community Centers.

Even before any details had surfaced about the identity of the suspects, an outfit called the “Anne Frank Center” hysterically attributed personal responsibility for the incidents to Trump.

Fans of dark humor were no doubt thrilled when it later emerged that the bomb threats had in fact been called in by a teenager in Israel, as well as a deranged former Intercept journalist — and not some MAGA-hat guy sitting in a corrugated shack in the backwoods of Arkansas.

(The “Anne Frank Center” was being run at the time by a hardcore partisan Democratic operative in New Jersey, whom I personally met years ago when he was running a pro-LGBT group.
Let’s just say that this individual is a tad ............. excitable. )

Still, this individual’s bombastic anti-Trump screeds were credulously portrayed by media outlets as carrying the solemn moral weight of the fabled Holocaust victim.......... MORE

As highlighted many times already in this channel...... #Russia's #economy is coping better with #Ukraine-related Western #sanctions than could be expected, #JPMorgan Chase said in a note to clients dated last week and made public on Monday.

According to the biggest US investment bank, business sentiment surveys from the country “are signaling a not very deep recession in Russia, and therefore imply upside risks to our growth forecasts.” 

It also cited high-frequency indicators such as electricity consumption and financial flows, which signal that the economy is in better shape than predicted.

IF UKRAINE IS WINNING WHY IS THE U.S. REQUESTING A CEASEFIRE?

Yesterday the #US Secretary of #Defense #Lloyd #Austin called the Minister of Defense of the #Russian #Federation Sergei #Shoigu.

Why?

The U.S. readout of the call says:

"On May 13, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III spoke with Russian Minister of Defense Sergey Shoygu for the first time since February 18.

Secretary Austin urged an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and emphasized the importance of maintaining lines of communication."

Austin initiated the call and the U.S. is seeking a ceasefire in Ukraine!!!

Are we not told that the Ukraine is winning the war? That it will soon push the Russian forces back over the border?

The operation to 'weaken Russia', which Austin had publicly announced two weeks ago, does not seem to be going that well......MORE

There's a certain type of person who's devoted enormous energy to monitoring and warning about the purported threat of Nazis, white supremacists, and associated groups -- who now suddenly does a 180-degree turn-around and begins performing elaborate mental gymnastics to deflect scrutiny from #Azov, this one particular group which, by any objective rendering, is undeniably, loudly and openly #NeoNazi 🤷‍♂

CNN is calling this racially motivated because the gunman was white and the victims were white.

This is a psychological false flag attack to get minorities to vote for Democrats under ths guise of white supremacy.

Suburbs will be TARGETED.
They are attacking black areas to blame white people.

alse Flag Again. These shootings are done by the FBI. They recruit mentally unstable individuals and brainwash them into killing people.

India: “We can feed the world!”

Also India:

“We are banning all exports of Wheat effective immediately”

India rapidly changes their tune as the world figures out, that there isn’t enough food to go around.

In a matter of weeks, India has banned all wheat exports.

We were warned things could escalate quickly but it’s still wild to see - this is straight from the script of Podesta’s Food Chain Reaction Game.

Friends remember that very recently we adopted the gold standard at 5000 rubles to 1gram of gold. It is creating an interesting result.

AZOV. PART I

Today you will learn about the most disgusting volunteer unit in Ukraine – the battalion, and later - the Azov regiment. The location of the volunteer battalion was my native city Berdyansk and there is plenty of information about the outrages of its fighters in the city.

In the first part of the video:

- the history of the formation of the Azov battalion;
- neo-Nazis, criminals, ultras. Who formed the basis of the battalion?
- robberies, rapes, banditism, as well as other examples of criminal activity of volunteer battalion fighters in Berdyansk.

And this is only a small part. There is so much dirt on this volunteer battalion that it is impossible to fit everything in one video.

"GRATEFUL" UKRAINIAN REFUGEE “THANKS” HER BULGARIAIAN HOSTS


“I want to share with you the observation that Bulgaria is an absolutely unfriendly country and it is absolutely pro-Russian.

And the population of this country is very fond of and very supportive of Russia.

A certain number of people can even come up to you and say:
– Are you from Ukraine?
– Yes.
– And, well, thank God that Putin is killing you!

They are absolutely stupid and limited gypsies who don’t know how to work.

And when they realized that our population came here and started working normally, serving much better than the Bulgarian… Bulgarian poverty and limits, they started to get mad at our people!

They are just so stupid that they don’t realize that it’s not Bulgaria that pays hoteliers for us, it’s the European Union that allocates money to beggar Bulgaria to host us!

I was just sharing my impressions of what people are like here.

Of course, every country has its freaks, but here there are especially many
