❗❗🇩🇪 A definite voice of sanity coming out of Germany!

🇩🇪🇷🇺Today, the German journalist Dr. Gabriele Krone-Schmalz publicly posed the question:

"Will Russia forgive us again?"

This is a logical and entirely legitimate question—a question posed by someone who sees the truth and does not heed the propaganda, who knows history and understands that forgetting it is our eternal mistake.

Led by such figures as Kallas and von der Leyen, all of Europe has been provoking Russia for four years now, hoping that Putin will keep his nuclear missiles in their silos.

The official reason is Russia's invasion of Ukraine—a country that isn't even a NATO member. No one asks what Russia's motives are, and we conveniently pretend to have forgotten the civil war that tore apart Donbas for eight years, as well as who was fueling it.

For 80 years, the United States has been invading various countries around the world with all sorts of fabricated motives, and no one objects. On the contrary, sometimes Europe even joins in the adventures. And then what?

The truth is that ever since the time of Hitler, we Westerners have always regarded Russians as simple-minded Bolsheviks, hicks, swindlers, and drunks. What irritates us is the fact that they have a vast empire, a colossal territory full of resources, while we in Europe have long since run out of everything.

🇨🇳For decades, our industry has survived by importing all the raw materials it needs, and now it's also under pressure from Chinese competition, those other "hicks and swindlers."

And so let's just say it:
"We're no different from Hitler!"

The difference is that he openly declared he needed "living space," while we hypocritically provoke Russia, hoping it will gradually fall apart.

We nearly succeeded during Yeltsin's time.

But then that pesky Putin showed up.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, we began placing nuclear missiles ever closer to Moscow, until finally "the frog didn't realize what was happening and didn't jump out of the pot."

And now, after stirring up all this chaos, the United States is pulling back—it's their great specialty—and we're left looking like complete idiots holding the lit match, while someone wonders if Russia will ever forgive us.

Here is a video from one day ago, where she goes through many of these points. In the video plays in German and English:

The last peace offer from Putin will always be better than the next.

How did the Ukrainians not know that this is how it works?

The best offer they ever got, which is never coming back was February 28, 2022.

Witkoff and Kushner brought Kiev peace terms that are worse than those previously proposed, Bloomberg quotes Ukrainian MP Anna Skorokhod as saying

“It wasn’t just not a breakthrough—they arrived with terms even worse than what we had before. They brought worse conditions: previously, changes to the Constitution and recognition of the territories were not required, but now they are,” the Ukrainian lawmaker complains.

Earlier, approximately the following terms had been leaked:

— Ukraine must give up Donbass and withdraw its troops.
— Amendments must be made to Ukraine’s Constitution enshrining the renunciation of the territories.
— Elections must be held in Ukraine.
— Ukraine must abandon its bid to join NATO and enshrine its non-aligned status.
— The size of the Ukrainian Armed Forces must be limited.
— The Russian language must be protected in Ukraine.

The time is not far off when Ukraine will monitor and punish people for their thoughts, stated Maria Zakharova, the official spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

She pointed out that Ukrainian officials present the ban on the use of the Russian language not as a restriction, but as a measure related to equality, security, and access to a successful future for children. The diplomat called this approach dystopian and neo-Nazi.

"This is the same Ukraine where the Russian language has always been native. Now, they are destroying, in every way possible, those who speak and think in Russian. What will they do with thoughts? This is not a rhetorical question, but a very practical issue," she noted.

Zakharova stated that in the future, technologies, including AI systems built into smartphones, phones, and tablets, could be used in Ukraine to monitor people and attempt to control even their thoughts, for which they may subsequently begin to punish.

In this context, the official spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reminded that the fines for using the Russian language in Ukraine already reach the equivalent of three and a half minimum living wages.

“The unipolar system is actually collapsing,” observed Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov during a press conference with Indian media on Tuesday. “And then at the same time, [it] is trying to regain power…. So this is a very dangerous process.”

September 11-13 is the BRICS summit in New Delhi.

Peskov pointed to the BRICS’s growing shift toward payments in national currencies, rather than the dollar, a “de-dollarization” process which he said was not begun by the BRICS: “I would say that it’s rather America that is against the dollar as a reserve currency…. America is ruining trust in the US dollar, and the more trust is ruined, the more trust goes in favor of national currencies.”

Speaking to media gathered in New Delhi ahead of President Vladimir Putin’s visit to India to participate in the BRICS Summit on September 11–13, Peskov raised the importance of BRICS in the financial sphere: "Russia recently reached a level of 90% of all payments, transactions, with BRICS countries being made in national currencies.

It’s very important. It’s not because we are aiming for de-dollarization, for getting rid of U.S. dollars; no, to the contrary. We are open to every acceptable method of payment.

“You know that certain countries are using some national currencies as a tool for political pressure,” Peskov said. “They are introducing sanctions based on their currency. So, if they don’t let us use their money, we’ll use our own money. We jointly found out that it can be a very, very mutually beneficial process.”

🇷🇺🇪🇺 Lavrov on Europe and Ukraine:

“There are those who are rabidly — I can’t find another word — demanding a return to the 1991 borders, in order to once again hand over to a real concentration camp people of Russian culture who have lived on these lands for centuries.”

Lavrov went on to argue that for the past 500 years Europeans have “lived at the expense of others,” citing slavery, colonialism and exploitation, as well as the two World Wars.

“So Europe is regarded by many as a ‘spawn of hell’ in world history,” he concluded.
