โWhither Slava Ukraini?
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)
If you want Ukraine to have a future, you must rid her of her oligarchic parasites and their over paid clowns.
And so, now that the evacuation (yeah, right) of Mariupolโs Azovs has passed, letโs balance the costs against the benefits, salute the brave and criticize the other. The Siege of Mariupol was nothing like Stalingrad, where the tractor factory was pulverized by the German XIV Panzer Korps, aided by over 2,000 Luftflotte sorties, before changing hands time and again in floor by floor and room by room fighting. And nor was the Siege of Mariupol anything like Aleppoโs prison siege, where heroic Syrian soldiers, warders and prisoners held off waves of American led terrorists for over a year before their compatriots evacuated them to their own lines.
This is not to deny that some of the Azovs fought as bravely as their 6th Army heroes. No doubt, they did. But, as Mariupolโs steel works was designed to withstand a nuclear attack, it was the perfect place for them to hole up until the 7th Cavalry arrived, which they did in Aleppo but did not in Mariupol or Stalingrad, from where almost all of the surviving 91,000 German soldiers were finally evacuated on February 2, 1943.
The fact of the matter is the rank and file Azovs, like the rank and file of the Wehrmacht, were led up the garden path and into Russian captivity by their corrupt leaders. And, not only that, but their wives and mistresses, many of whom are die hard Nazis themselves, are still being led up the garden path with their shattered Slava Ukraini dreams of racist conquest.
The Azov WAGS
The wives and girlfriends (WAGS) of the Azov Nazis are more serious folk than the WAGS of English footballers, who have recently been making spectacles of themselves in English courts. They visited Rome where they begged the Pope to intervene and one of their Mandarin speakers even appealed to President Xi on behalf of them all. President Xi, alas, has a full work load and has been around the block enough times not to be fooled by Katerina Prokopenko and Yulia Fedosiuk, the two pretty Nazi frauleins, who met Pope Francis and whose husbands, Arseniy Fedosiuk and Denis Prokopenko, most recently of the Mariupol steel works, are now Russiaโs prisoners of war.
Although Ekaterina and Yulia told the Pope their husbands โlove pets, books, and sportsโ, they forgot to tell them that they are senior Azov officers, who have no qualms about strapping Russian speaking families to lamp posts for children to sexually abuse. Perhaps the Pope is not interested in sordid stuff like that or the context in which their bookish husbands โwent to the war 8 years agoโ. Which forgotten war might that have been, Your Holiness and why has your office no comments to make on the child victims of that war of aggress...

Quo Vadis, Mother Russia?
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)
If we isolate Russia, push it out of the West, Moscow has only one direction in which to goโeast, to China.
By Patrick J. BUCHANAN
โThe demise of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century,โ said Russiaโs new ruler Vladimir Putin in his 2005 state of the nation address.
โAs for the Russian people,โ Putin went on, โit became a genuine tragedy. Tens of millions of our fellow citizens and countrymen found themselves beyond the fringes of Russian territory.โ
From Putinโs standpoint, the statement was then and remains today understandable.
Consider. When Putin entered his countryโs secret service, Berlin was 110 miles deep inside a Soviet-occupied East Germany. Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria were member states of the Warsaw Pact.
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia were republics of the USSR. Ukraine was the most populous and ethnically closest of the Soviet republics to Russia itself.
And today? Berlin is the capital of a united, free and democratic Germany, a member of NATO, that is beginning a rearmament campaign triggered by Putinโs invasion of Ukraine.
Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria are members of the U.S.-led North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Former Soviet republics Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are also members of that Western alliance established to contain Russia.
Sweden and Finland, neutral through the Cold War, are applying for membership in NATO.
Ukraine, backed by the U.S. and NATO, is fighting a war to push the Russian army out of its territory, a war that has the support of almost every country on the continent of Europe.
Even the falls of the British and French empires at the end of World War II do not match as geo-strategic disasters the collapse of the Soviet Empire and breakup of the Soviet Union since the end of the Cold War.
How goes the Russian war in Ukraine launched on Feb. 24?
Russia has enlarged the territory it controls in Crimea and its Luhansk and Donetsk enclaves in the Donbas. And now, with the fall of Mariupol, Moscow controls the entire Sea of Azov and has completed its land bridge from Russia to Crimea.
But Russia has failed to capture and been forced by the Ukrainian army to retreat from Kyiv and Kharkiv, the largest cities in Ukraine, and Putin has seen his forces humiliated again and again.
Yet, withal, Russia today remains a great power.
The largest nation on earth with twice the territory of the U.S., Russia has the worldโs largest nuclear arsenal and exceeds the U.S. and China in tactical nuclear weapons. It has vast tracks of land and sits on huge deposits of minerals, coal, oil and gas.
But Russia also has glaring weaknesses and growing vulnerabilities.
While Putin has built up impressive forces in the Arctic, the Baltic Sea, with Finland and Sweden joining the Western alliance, is becoming a NATO lake. Russian warships sailing out of St. Petersburg to the Atlantic have to traverse the coastal defenses of 11 present or future NATO nations: Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Britain and France.
Among the questions that Russia, shrunken in so many ways from the great U.S. rival of the Cold War it once was, must answer is, โQuo Vadis?โ
Where does Mother Russia go from here?
Bitter at their losses in the Cold War and post-Cold War years, many Russian nationalists are urging the regime to align with todayโs great power antagonist of the United States, Xi Jinpingโs China.
This is a recipe for a Second Cold War, but how would that war avail the Russian nation and its people?
In any Russia-China alliance, there is no doubt who will be senior partner. And it is not the U.S. that covets and wishes one day to control the resources of Russia fro...
