This is the closing paragraph in my 2021 Thesis for my Masters in Strategic Studies, titled "contemporary attitudes to NATO in a resurgent Russia" Over 30% of the populations of the former Soviet states are comprised of Russian
speaking and Russian-identifying people. Regardless of their political persuasions, their cultural
integrity is firmly embedded in a Russian identity. This Russian diaspora has demonstrated its
resilience through centuries of trials and tribulations, feudalism, monarchical wars and
communism. It has suffered immensely and disproportionally at the hands of invaders from
Genghis Khan to Adolf Hitler, and yet it still prevails and, indeed, flourishes. Pragmatism is a
central tenet of the modern Russian psyche, and it is doubtful that any Russian Government
would act contrary to its own best interests when it comes to matters of international security or
the integrity of Russiaโ€™s territorial possessions. This reality should be borne in mind when
Russian attitudes to NATO are judged as too cynical or suspicious. The fact remains that it is
clear that today's Russia has demonstrated her willingness to act decisively, even when subjected
to economic isolation, contrary to the perceived wisdom of the Western powers. From Ukraine to
Syria, the decisive actions of a resurgent Russia have sent a signal to NATO and the West that
isolation of this re-emerging Eurasian superpower is counterproductive and strategically foolish.
Russiaโ€™s current foreign policy suggests that it has evolved into a significant world power while
NATO still struggles with its identity and is unable to satisfactorily define its global role. It
seems that German Statesman Otto Von Bismarck got it right when he said, โ€œThe secret of
politics? Make a good treaty with Russiaโ€.

Ukraine Leaks notes:

"In traditional Ukrainian style: They distorted the facts, stole a photo and - done! A heartbreaking story from Kramatorsk."

This sort of "borrowing" of photos/videos to fit a fake narrative has been common among Western propagandists on Ukraine, also on Syria. Here are some more examples, so that you can see it isn't merely a one-off, but rather a shoddy propaganda tactic.

Sovereignty for Ukraine but not for Ireland, @MichealMartinTD ?

Can I interest anyone in a brave new BBC TV series which depicts an Irish woman who had her child removed after being enslaved in the Magdelene Laundries in 1998, but who overcomes her ordeal after befriending a Garda diversity hire who himself is a victim of the racist, misogynist patriarchal system?

The social engineers don't seem able to do subtlety any more.

๐Ÿ’ข When reports from the front are bleak and things are going badly, the Balkans 1990s playbook is an unfailing source of inspiration ๐ŸŒ€

We have seen already how the Ukrainian plan to finish off the Donbas was conceived as a carbon copy of the Croatian โ€œOperation Stormโ€ of August 1995. That ghastly undertaking, which the Kiev regime was eager to emulate, resulted in the killing of thousands of civilians, forced expulsion of a quarter of a million Krajina Serbs, and the incorporation of their homeland into Croatia. The difference is that the Croat plan was resoundingly successful in reaching its barbaric objectives.

The Ukrainian copycat plan, on the other hand, was a manifest failure. Its execution was unexpectedly thwarted by the Special Military Operation.

The Konstantinovka market incident is the latest indication that the Ukrainian regime is in full-spectrum copycat mode. They are absorbing fast the false flag methodology of their Zagreb and Sarajevo colleagues during the Balkan conflict of the 1990s. In the multifaceted war that was waged in the Balkans, the military was only one of several fronts, all of roughly equal importance. From the beginning, the propaganda front carried great weight, having had a huge impact on the warโ€™s progress and outcome.

In Ukraine, there is a concerted effort to re-enact Balkan scenarios, amongst which false flags were a major political tool. The false flag formula tested and honed to perfection in the Balkans presupposes the following elements.
