Ah…political journalist John Rentoul achieved a rare victory over me this week, scoring 7/10; I scored 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 2, 9, and 10.
Ecce the UK in the globalized world of the New World Order: the Prime Minister a part-Jew, part-Levantine chancer and liar, and most of the Cabinet Jews, Indians, or Pakistanis, with the odd black or Kurd. Now we see that Indian “clever boy”, Sunak, posing as Chancellor of the Exchequer, was actually a US taxpayer until a couple of years ago! When he was not only a faux-“British” MP but actually a government minister!
Indeed. The EU has pledged another billion Euros in Aid and 500m for weapons. Starting to resemble a massive wealth transfer. Why aren't Ukraine borrowing the money, as we are, to fund their own weapons. Meanwhile here, pensioners sit in the cold.
Good grief! Is New Zealand finally waking up? Jacinda Ardern is the sort of political leader you get when the voters are more interested in whether they win a rugby or cricket match on the other side of the world than the fact that their country is not only becoming a dystopian police state but also being swamped by non-white immigration and political correctness. The UK and USA should wake up too.
I would never travel on a Greek ship, not any distance anyway. I heard a similar story about the cowardly incompetence of Greek ships’ officers and seamen from my own brother, when he and his wife were nearly lost in a storm at sea in the Mediterranean, about 40 years ago. Only luck saved his ship (travelling between Piraeus and Kos, an overnight journey of about 17 hours).
Admittedly, I did myself once travel on a car ferry between Ancona (Italy) and Patras (Greece), a 20+-hour journey, and that was fine, but I cannot now recall whether that was a Greek ship or not. Anyway, it’s only when trouble happens that a crew is put to the test.
Deerstalker
I forgot to mention that I saw someone, a few days ago, wearing a deerstalker in the nearby small town. A man in late middle age. Unusual; I have not seen anyone wearing a deerstalker for many many years. I myself, at age 14, used to affect one, sometimes, at the races. I remember wearing one at Newbury a couple of times, circa 1970 or 1971. Sherlock Holmes has much to answer for.
Shock for Emmanuel Macron as new poll predicts Marine Le Pen could sneak a surprise victory in French election. I, for one, would be glad to see the back of him. https://t.co/XbrZyoAJE3@MailOnline
The System across Europe, and especially EU-Europe, is so corrupt and fake that one almost gives up hope at times, but if Marine le Pen can get to the Presidency of France, there might be hope for a real “new order” in European diplomacy and politics, for a halt to the crazed and headlong rush to war with Russia, and indeed for a rapprochement with Russia.
Yes, Marine le Pen has her faults, is by no means sufficiently “anti-Semitic” etc, but look at the alternative! I blogged about Macron’s odd background and political career (the latter suffused with Jewish corruption) a few years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/09/on-recent-events-in-france/.

I am not much of a car buff. In my mid/late teens I rode first a Vespa scooter (max speed about 55 mph), and then a 250cc Suzuki motorbike (max speed 108 mph, accomplished one late evening on the then —1976— almost empty M23, from Brighton to Surrey), but only had a licence to drive a car from the age of 42, and then only because I was living on a Caribbean island where there were virtually no taxis, and no public transport.
I have now held a UK licence for about 20 years, with almost no problem: a couple of small accidents —not my fault, in my opinion— and a couple of speeding tickets, the speeding offences both in 2005 (40 mph in a 30 mph area, and 97 mph on a 70 mph road).
Make that three if you include getting caught by a motorbike cop in Normandy in 2007 (going about 95 mph on a ~66 mph dual carriageway road). On-the-spot fine.
A few times, at about 2 or 3 in the morning, on empty pay-autoroutes in Northern France, I cruised at up to 130 mph in my then car (a Volvo), but rarely saw another vehicle, and was never bothered by the police.
I usually potter around my local district at about 30 mph now, so would have no use for the Aston Martin Valhalla, which can apparently reach speeds of up to 217 mph.
Actually, cars such as the Valhalla are symptoms of a wider pointlessness in world —and especially Western— society. A car that can go 217 mph, yet which will mostly be seen crawling at 5 mph in the congested traffic of central London or Monte Carlo, or along the roads of Bel-Air at 20 mph, and probably driven by a 20-year-old Gulf Arab.

The intentions are certainly not “worthy“, but yet another expression of Jewish tribal supremacism. If “they” want a so-called “memorial” (to events which may or, more likely, may not have occurred, or at least not occurred as narrated, nearly a century ago, and in another part of Europe, and which had nothing to do with Britain anyway) then let “them” put it on a small artificial “Boris island” in the Thames Estuary. Come to that, put “Boris” on it as well.
One wonders why the Russians have not broken up the rail system in Ukraine. Is it because they want as many Ukrainians as possible to flee westward?
The only way Russia can now achieve anything looking like an overall victory is to flood Ukraine with hundreds of thousands of troops, and then strike at Kiev, in particular, with its best in-theatre units.
The present Russian tactics, of making almost random missile or other attacks on urban targets here and there, are not only giving Russia a terrible reputation across the world, but not achieving anything from a military point of view. They seem little more than malicious, and are certainly being presented that way by the Kiev regime and generally in the Western msm, on social media etc.
If Putin does not get a grip, Russia itself will eventually implode.
Yes, I see the opinion polls saying that 60% or 70% or more of Russians “support” the invasion and war, but even if so, that is volatile; it can change.
In my own lifetime, I have seen not only governments but whole regimes of society, whole states, implode. The Soviet Union itself, which looked unassailable even a few years before it collapsed; the DDR (East Germany), which I visited only a year before it collapsed and then ceased to exist; Rhodesia, where I was in 1977, and which gave up its struggle only two years later to become yet another corrupt and shambolic black-ruled failed state (Zimbabwe); South Africa; Iran. Others, too.
Perhaps Putin’s Russia will go the same way as its predecessor, the Soviet Union, and just fall apart internally; the EU and West generally might do the same before too long.

Once again, the persecution and prosecution of Alison Chabloz was instigated by “the usual suspects”, primarily the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, [“CAA”] who have publicly admitted targeting Alison Chabloz over a period of (now) about 6 years, at least.
It seems that Alison is now on bail, pending a sentencing hearing next Thursday afternoon.

Strange.

The report caught my eye partly because it is an area I used to know well. As a former resident of Little Venice, I was quite often in Edgware Road, and occasionally in Praed Street (Paddington) as well. I knew a couple of people who worked around there, and my dentist in the early 1990s was in the next main street (corner of Edgware Road and Sussex Gardens). In other words, I myself could have been one of the unfortunate victims, were I still living in that part of London.
The UK needs what Russians call a chistka (“clean-up” or purge), and nowhere is that more necessary than in London.
The “A6 Murder” was one of the most notorious crimes in an era of such. After Hanratty was executed, many of the famous joined in a noisy campaign to prove Hanratty innocent. Among those were the ludicrous John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and the well-meaning but often just silly Ludovic Kennedy [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludovic_Kennedy].
I have also seen some of the documentaries made about the crime, such as that in the interesting TV series (a favourite of mine), Great Crimes and Trials [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Crimes_and_Trials]. I never saw the series when it was on BBC TV (I had no television set in the 1993-1996 period) but later bought all the videos I could find.
Interestingly enough, one book I once read, maybe by Ludovic Kennedy (not sure now) had an incident whereby, before Hanratty had been named as wanted for questioning, a lady met Hanratty casually (I think in a shop in London) and had an immediate instinct that here was the A6 murderer. Absurd from a logical point of view, yet she was right. What are the odds?

What are the British and American virtue-signallers and “me too” idiots going to say now, now that the soldiers of their beloved Zelensky Jew-Zionist regime are proven to have committed atrocities as bad as thosealleged to have been committed by Russian troops?
[general state of play as of 6 April 2022]
Russia can defeat the forces of the Kiev regime, but it depends on how much death, damage and hurt Putin is willing to inflict.
Ukraine conflict: today’s thoughts
Ukraine is not a functioning state, really. It always (since “independence” in 1991) had elements of a “failed state”— corruption, shambolic maladministration, foreign/Jewish exploitation, but now the only element of a normal state that still exists is its armed force. Almost everything else is gone.
The Russian blockade means that Ukraine ports, even the unoccupied ones such as Odessa, are not working. The war and the situation in general means that industry is not functioning, that trade is almost at a standstill in much of the country. Airports are closed down and/or damaged.
So far, railways are still functioning, but for how long?
As to the war itself, I saw a report today to the effect that the Ukrainian forces are using each day about the same amount of ammunition (of all sorts, but particularly of the items supplied by NATO and others) that they are importing each week. A shortfall in the ratio 1:6. Unsustainable. It can only be a matter of time, and not much time, before the Ukrainian forces run out of everything except small arms/ammunition.
It can be seen that the Ukrainian (Kiev-regime) authorities are advising civilians in the south-east to evacuate before an expected renewed Russian onslaught. In all the besieged cities of the east, civilians are running out of food or have run out of food. It can only be a matter of time there too, before most of those cities are taken or flattened. Once that happens, the Russians will slowly occupy all of the Ukraine east of the Dnieper. That will eventually threaten Kiev again, this time from the southeast.
The Black Sea and Sea of Azov coasts are now almost entirely Russian-occupied as far west as Mykolaiv (former Nikolayev).
Russia may well move soon in some unexpected way to regain the tactical initiative. How, exactly, is hard to predict. Possibly by calling up Russia’s vast reserves, which number in the millions. True, they would all have to be fed and equipped and transported but, given that, they could be used to garrison areas taken, while the regular forces strike at areas east of the Dnieper still resisting, or not yet assaulted.
It seems that the mayor of Dnipro (former Dnepropetrovsk) has recommended that the elderly, women, and children should evacuate from the city, which at a million inhabitants (pre-invasion) is by far the largest population concentration on the Dnieper between the southern coastal areas and Kiev, 500 miles to the northwest. It has or had the 4th-largest population of the Ukrainian cities, slightly bigger than Donetsk.
Dnipro is on both banks of the Dnieper.
[Dnipro, formerly Dnepropetrovsk]
So far, the Russian forces have not yet secured Donetsk completely, let alone Zaporozhye and Dnipro. As noted, even if Dnipro can be taken or surrounded/sidelined, it is still 500 miles from there to Kiev. In my view, Russia has not won anything akin to a victory unless Kiev is taken.
The only way Russia can defeat the forces of the Kiev regime (without tactical nuclear weapons) is to call up its ground reserves, then push remorselessly forward, using hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of troops, until all Ukraine east of the Dnieper is occupied.
Meanwhile, we see msm reports of mutiny in the Russian forces. If true, reminiscent of 1917…

If a rich Englishman tried to become a Cabinet minister, or Prime Minister, in India, would that be possible? No; au contraire; it would be unthinkable.
The photo shows, I think, the inspection carried out later (in 1943) by the German forces that had invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, and so also the part of Poland taken by Soviet invaders in 1939. Some international experts from Switzerland and Hungary took part in the exhumation.
The massacre itself was carried out by the Soviet NKVD in 1940.
See also:
“At the beginning of 1944, Ron Jeffery, an agent of British and Polish intelligence in occupied Poland, eluded the Abwehr and travelled to London with a report from Poland to the British government. His efforts were at first highly regarded, but subsequently ignored, which a disillusioned Jeffery later attributed to the actions of Kim Philby and other high-ranking communist agents entrenched in the British government. Jeffery tried to inform the British government about the Katyn massacre, but was as a result released from the Army.[65]
In 1947, the Polish Government in exile 1944–1946 report on Katyn was transmitted to Telford Taylor.[66]
In the United States a similar line was taken, notwithstanding two official intelligence reports into the Katyn massacre that contradicted the official position. In 1944, Roosevelt assigned his special emissary to the Balkans, Navy Lieutenant Commander George Earle, to produce a report on Katyn.[24] Earle concluded the massacre was committed by the Soviet Union.[24] Having consulted with Elmer Davis, director of the United States Office of War Information, Roosevelt rejected the conclusion (officially), declared he was convinced of Nazi Germany’s responsibility, and ordered that Earle’s report be suppressed. When Earle requested permission to publish his findings, the President issued a written order to desist.[24] Earle was reassigned and spent the rest of the war in American Samoa.[24]” [Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn_massacre].
As blogged a day or two ago, Soviet agents, pro-Soviet “useful idiots”, and/or Jews, were trying, as late as the early 1980s, to pin the guilt for the Soviet massacre at Katyn on the forces of the Reich.

You can see now why Ukraine is vital to the plans of NWO/ZOG. That is why, despite the alleged war crimes, despite the terrible destruction and harm being done, Russia must fight on to topple the Zelensky regime.

Terrible losses, assuming that the figures are accurate. Tanks lost are about 5% of all tanks operational in the whole of Russia; as for the soldiers, though, no more than 2% of the overall active strength. Very bad losses, all the same.
Graham Linehan
I saw recently that Graham Linehan, the former scriptwriter, was feeling sorry for himself because “trans” fanatics had had him “cancelled”, and because his wife left him, it seems, once he had little money or income left.
As a matter of fact, I had never heard of Linehan until he was scathing about me on Twitter several years ago. I had only vaguely heard of Father Ted, and certainly never seen it.
I have to say that his present troubles could not have happened to a more appropriate person; I see that quite a few Daily Mail readers seem to agree with me. I do not agree with the Daily Mail scribbler who refers to him as “this decent man“, even though I agree with Linehan about the “trans” nonsense and associated lunacy.
In the American phrase, “what goes around comes around“…

Ukraine
[Daily Mail graphic showing the apparent state of play as of 4 April 2022]
The alleged (and, if true, appalling) crimes said to have been committed by Russian forces in the Kiev area have trashed Russia’s reputation even more than was already the case.
Despite the brutal history of both Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union, and despite the cruelties inflicted by Russian and other troops on the conquered Axis nations of the 1940s (notably on the peoples of Germany, Austria, and Hungary), the overall (or, perhaps, parallel) reputation of Russia and Russians as a cultured people never completely died. I begin to fear, now, that that reputation has all but died in the West, at least among the relatively uneducated masses, and that Russia is seen now, by many, as a barbarous and cruel nation and people.
The Russian Army evidently lacks discipline, a fact shown not only by the alleged war crimes (assuming reports are accurate), but by the pathetic planning and execution of the invasion itself, and also by the reports of Russian soldiers fraternizing with the Ukrainian civilians (and so being poisoned with spiked cakes, pies, booze etc). We see reports of Russian soldiers looting shops and homes, and it is no excuse to say that, historically, many armies at war (including British and American) have committed some such acts at times.
Putin, for all the NWO/ZOG propaganda against him, is not Stalin, and Russia in 2022 is not the Soviet Union.
Stalin would have shot generals, intelligence officers, and lower-ranked persons in large numbers by now, for their lack of discipline, for their lack of performance, and for the bad impression of Russia given by them, an impression now spread across the world.
Putin cannot copy Stalin. He has not the power, has not the —or any proper— ideology, and has not the power structure (including a facade of “law”) to permit him such freedom of action.
Putin and Putinism was, like the Yeltsin years of shambles, a transitional phase between Sovietism and the future. “Was?” Well, unless Russia changes drastically soon, Putin and Putinism are history, not because of the very poor behaviour of some of the Russian soldiers, but because of the sheer failure of almost every aspect of this “operation”. Also, because the standards of living of Russians will now decline without any —even notional— gain or benefit.
Below, some of the recent devastation:
[devastated suburban road in Bucha, Kiev district, Ukraine]
Hard to believe, looking at the Bucha area as it now is, that Bulgakov [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Bulgakov], born in Kiev, whose original main family home is now a museum there, and who was author of the book The White Guard (about the various contending forces in Ukraine between the start of the Russian Civil War and the period just before the establishment of Soviet power) had a pleasant summer cottage in Bucha.
Looking at the terrible aftermath of war in that Kiev suburb (nearby town) of Bucha, and then seeing [below] Bucha city park as it was in summer a year or two ago, and essentially as it was up until the recent invasion and war, makes one fear for such places not only in Ukraine but in Poland, Germany, France and, yes the UK too; even in the USA.
[city park, Bucha, Ukraine, before invasion]
We see more and more calls for more armament to be shipped to the Kiev regime. The world is being pushed, by hidden conspiratorial groups in the West, towards world war, or at least NATO-Russia war.
One sees silly people saying “Russia only has the GDP of Italy!” as if that is in any way relevant. The war of 1914-18, the war of 1939-45 (for Russia, 1941-45), those wars had economic imperatives, but a nuclear war between east and west has no such imperatives; it will, or would, be over too quickly for economic strength to play much part.
One also sees “NATO has many times the nuclear power of Russia“. Again, irrelevant. Once you’re dead, you’re dead and, in most cases, you are as dead if one nuclear missile lands on you as you are if ten or twenty land on you. Something for the citizens (and political leaders) of London, Washington, New York, Seattle, LA, Houston, Chicago etc to think about.
Yes, NATO could destroy Russian cities as well as straight military targets, but some of the countryside would be left, and some of the people, maybe even some cities, in a country 72x the size of the UK and 2x the size of the (contiguous) USA.
What would be left of the UK if, say, London, Southampton, Portsmouth, Bristol, Plymouth, Birmingham, Glasgow and Edinburgh, Liverpool and Manchester were all wiped out? Not a lot. That’s with 10 missiles. Russia has 6,200, we are told.
If the, say, 20, 30, 40 largest American cities were wiped out, there would be people, areas, even towns left, but it would take a century for the US to really recover. The UK? I am not sure that it would ever really recover.
France? A large country, almost three times the size of the UK, but if its top ten cities were destroyed, France as a state would be gone, certainly for many decades, possibly for centuries.
I am disturbed to see people in the UK, including some of the less-intelligent politicians (eg Johnny Mercer MP) almost saying “bring it on“, re. nuclear war with Russia. And why? Over the Jew-ruled failed “state” of Ukraine? It’s just mad.
As for shipping tanks, planes etc to the Kiev regime, that just prolongs the suffering in Ukraine, as well as making it quite likely that Russia will attack NATO forces or supply chains directly.
What about the strategic situation in Ukraine itself? As I thought right from the start, the aim seems to be to seize the coastal areas, and also the part of Ukraine east of the Dnieper river. However, I fail to see how that is sustainable if Kiev itself is left in the hands of the Zelensky regime.
Kiev is on both banks of the Dnieper, but the important and historic parts are mostly on the western side. If Kiev is not taken by Russian forces, then the holding of much of eastern Ukraine (the northern sector of the east) becomes, surely, unsustainable, because arms, equipment, ammunition, and forces will be channelled through Kiev region to attack the Russian-held areas to the east.
Everything depends on Putin, and whether he can carry with him his military and intelligence “top brass” in any attempt to seize back the initiative.
Hard to see that the defenders of all the presently-besieged cities will be able to keep going for very long in terms of food, as well as ammunition, but human beings are remarkable creatures at times. I daresay that the Ukrainian fighters will still be eating after the civilians have starved.
Looking at the conflict as if through the eyes of Putin, the odds must be on escalation rather than withdrawal.
We know more or less where Russian forces are, but what we, as Western observers, do not know in any detail, is where are the Kiev-regime forces. I have read accounts in online newspapers etc to the effect that most active Ukrainian forces are in the east and south-east, which seems credible, looking at the resistance in those sectors. If, then, Russian forces can defeat those resisting forces, huge numbers of Russian troops will be available to redeploy, either to the Kiev area or to the occupation of the rest of east-of-Dnieper Ukraine.
Ukraine is now not in any sense a functioning state. It has no legitimate government (and has banned most opposition parties) but, more importantly, it cannot import or export by sea, because its ports are blockaded, occupied, or under attack, its domestic market for anything except food is all but non-existent, its industrial centres are mostly occupied or ablaze, and its farm produce can only be exported by road, making it uneconomic.
More facemask nonsense
Readers of this blog will know how I have opposed the facemask nonsense for the past two years. I have now just seen a photo of Kim Jong-Un this week, pointedly not wearing a facemask, while all the underlings around him are wearing the useless muzzles.
Just as in the West. Same set-up: the “important” person or persons not wearing facemasks, while all the “unimportant” persons are wearing them, and forced to do so. As often said, this has nothing at all to do with health and safety.

There is a definite trend in the UK and USA, of not publishing photographs of perpetrators, when they are not white. They are trying to conceal from us, the extent of a massive violent and deadly crime wave by non whites. https://t.co/v0xbKjTveD
At present it seems that Russia is abandoning any attempt to take Kiev, but only the capture of Kiev will signal —even a bitter and perhaps Pyrrhic— “victory” in this invasion that has become a war.
JUST IN – Germany: Grocery giant #Aldi is raising prices on 400 products by up to 30% starting tomorrow and expects other discounters like Lidl, Edeka, and Rewe to follow suit.
Well, once again a victory over political journalist John Rentoul. I scored 7/10 as against his 4/10. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 4, and 5, though had I just thought for a moment I would have worked out no. 2 as well.
Well worth reading, especially by any MPs that are public-spirited, and not focussed totally on the Ukraine situation or their own selfish ambitions.

Western diplomats and independent military analysts say the Russian pullback from Kyiv is real, a sign that Moscow’s initial strategy has failed in the face of grave planning failures, logistical problems and fierce and effective Ukrainian resistance. https://t.co/RDQAQ892pd
Without the capture of Kiev, and installation of a pro-Russian government, Russia has not succeeded in its invasion.
Not yet, anyway.
Even if the east and south of the country are both taken and held, without Kiev there is no victory, bitter or otherwise.

A brave lady. The present “German” state is a disguised NWO/ZOG police state.
The NWO/ZOG “German” state cannot allow a lady of 93 to speak favourably of the German Reich of 1933-1945 because she was there, and so speaks from experience. That is why Ursula Haverbeck is constantly persecuted. Her truth is something the present German regime wants to stifle.
I remember well driving down the deserted Gallipoli Peninsula in April 2001, eventually reaching the ferry across from the collection of small buildings on that side, to what is now called Canakkale, the town on the other side of the water. Darkness was about to fall as we drove, with only a handful of other cars, motorbikes, and small trucks, onto the deck of the ferry.
[the Canakkale ferry]
I see from the Daily Mail report that the —I presume— now-superseded ferry crossing took 90 minutes. In my memory, the crossing took only about 30 minutes, which shows how faulty memory can be, I suppose.
[the very recently opened Canakkale Bridge, Turkey]
The return journey, three months later, in July of 2001, and in a very hot daytime, was considerably busier; the small ferry was full of cars, though mostly Turkish. As mentioned, I had driven in April from the UK to Turkey (eventually to Mediterranean Turkey), but only a very few foreigners from Western Europe then did that (and maybe few do even in 2022).
I spent about 3 days in Canakkale in April 2001; a large town, though not busy at that time of year (it was rather cold, with even a dusting of snow on the ground one day, and drizzly another day).
I suppose that most if not all traffic will now use that impressive bridge.
21 years ago. It seems almost like a different life…
Ukraine
I read that, for the first time, a Ukrainian missile has destroyed an arms storage area in Russia itself, at Belgorod, some 50 miles inside Russian territory. That certainly plays into the hands of Putin, who makes the point, at least impliedly, that Moscow is only 300 miles from Ukraine at the nearest point.
We read in the Western msm that Russian troops are pulling back from some areas near Kiev (or, as BBC, Sky etc have decided to call it, “Keeev“).
Kiev is essential to the outcome of this invasion which has become a war. Failing to secure Kiev means, pretty much, losing the war, especially for Putin and Russia.
If the Russian plan was (as I think, and suggested, was the case) to take over at least both Ukraine east of the river Dnieper, and the littoral areas of Ukraine on and near the Black Sea and Sea of Azov coasts, i.e. about a third to a half of the entire country, then Kiev had and has to be taken, because a. it is the accepted capital of Ukraine; b. it is the largest city (3 million inhabitants, pre-invasion); c. it sits on the river Dnieper between the east and west of Ukraine.
If Putin really does stick just with the two regions of the southeast centred on Donetsk and Lukhansk, or even those regions and also the eastern cities (the largest by far being Kharkov), then Russia has, despite any gained territory, lost this war.
Putin and Russia can only succeed if Kiev is taken and held, if all eastern Ukraine is taken (and held), and if all coastal areas (including the city of Odessa) are taken and held.
What should have been and could have been a swift operation lasting maybe a week, and resulting in both an easy victory and in little loss of life, with the Jewish regime of Zelensky eliminated, and a new government installed, has become a bloody, painful, and horrible mess because the Russian General Staff failed, because the GRU failed, because the SVR failed, and because the organization of Russia’s vast army has been shown to be sluggish, shambolic, and unfit for duty. The same seems to be true of many of the Russian soldiers.
Stalin would have shot a hundred senior military and intelligence officers by now.
This brings into question the whole nature of the “Putinist” regime in Russia. The old Soviet Union was dying in the 1980s (“the Soviet knight dying inside his rusting armour“, so to speak), but even so still functioned.
Yeltsin’s chaotic regime, which I myself saw at first hand in the Moscow of 1993, permitted the (mainly) Jew oligarchs to exploit the bejesus out of Russia. Putin came in as national leader in 1999, and since then has in many respects improved life in Russia from what it was under Yeltsin, and also upgraded the armed forces. What Putin has not been able to do is to formulate an ideology that goes beyond Great-Russian nationalism.
The “Putinist” facade of ideology, following on from Soviet Marxism-Leninism, and also following the crazed and chaotic crony-capitalism under Yeltsin, is a mere pastiche: some Great-Russian nationalism, a bit of Russian Orthodox traditional religion, a more statist form of crony-capitalism, a bit of Western consumerism; a bit of this, a bit of that.
When push came to shove, the ideological emptiness at the core of Putinism was unable to withstand any pressure. Look at the stories coming out of Ukraine: soldiers deserting, with their weapons (including a tank!), and for money and a passport out; soldiers having to loot grocery stores because they are not fed; ill-discipline generally.
Even if some of the stories are Kiev-regime propaganda, not all are. Morale in the invading army is obviously at rock-bottom, and the lack of any proper ideology is central to what must be seen as near-failure to complete the mission in Ukraine.
The death, hurt, and destruction now being inflicted on civilians and their companion animals (and their homes) is quite sickening, and need never have happened.
Having said all that, Russia can still at least complete the outline of this invasion. It must now either take or destroy the cities of the east and south now being besieged. With extra armies brought from reserves, it must be possible to take most of those cities almost intact; how much more fuel, food, and ammunition can the defenders have?
Once Russia has secured the major cities and rural sections of the east and south, it can move on blockaded Odessa (the third-largest city after Kiev and Kharkov) and then, with the entire east and south secured, on Kiev itself.
Everything would be easier for Russia if Zelensky himself could be located and either captured or eliminated. Why was that, in the pre-invasion period, not prioritized and carried out by the GRU or SVR?
Even if Russia prevails, it will now be a bitter victory, and a bitter harvest, but the alternative is for Russia to lose, and that will be followed at some point by the fall of Putin, and by a Russia in chaos again, bearing in mind the Western sanctions.
Russia needs to find a new ideology in which it can believe.
Russia in Ukraine needs to make some game-changing moves. Soon.

What sign shows most clearly how screwed the UK is, and is becoming?
The fact that part-Jew chancer and liar “Boris”-idiot was ever made MP, Cabinet minister, and now Prime Minister?
The fact that the sheep-population accepted, most of them, the “Covid” police state, facemask nonsense etc?
The fact that the sheep-population will not do anything serious to protest against, stlll less stop, the black/brown migration invasion (even to the extent of voting for anti-immigration candidates)?
The fact that many, perhaps most, Brits seem to think that Ukraine is somehow allied to the UK, and that the corrupt Jewish regime there is somehow worth supporting, or even going to war on behalf of?
The fact that there is, really, no Parliamentary Opposition now?
How about the fact that, by maybe as early as 2040, the UK will probably be majority non-white?

No, the notion that diversity is an unalloyed good is, and always was, absurd. It was invented to shut up members of British communities who could see that mass immigration was imposing unwanted cultural change. Their unease had to be dismissed as irrational and immoral.

Scottish Labour
🚨 ANNOUNCMENT: Buzzing to launch my campaign to be chair of Scottish Young Labour 🚨

I usually try to steer clear of Scottish politics, but the madness of it at least equals anything seen south of Hadrian’s Wall.
The Scottish Labour Party is pretty much dead on its feet. Only 1 MP out of a possible 59 at Westminster, and 22 MSPs out of a possible 129 at Holyrood. Even in local government, Labour has bombed, now holding only 249 out of 1227 local council seats in Scotland. The contrast with Scottish Labour’s historical high points is stark.
Labour had 56 out of 72 Scottish MPs 1997-2005, and historically held at least 30 Scottish seats at Westminster. In fact, the present position is its worst ever— even in 1910, in its first General Election, it scored 2 MPs: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Labour#House_of_Commons.
Actually, in terms of the popular vote, Scottish Labour’s best performance was in 1966 (49.8%), and its worst was in 2019, at 18.6%, less precipitous a fall than in terms of seats, but that’s First Past The Post voting for you.
In the Scottish Parliament, there has been a steady decline in Scottish Labour seats, from 56 out of 129 in 1999, to 22 out of 129 in 2021. Scottish Labour has not been even in coalition government in Scotland since 2007.
In the now-irrelevant European elections, Scottish Labour, which once had 7 out of 8 Scottish seats in the European Parliament, declined to flat zero (out of 6) by 2019 (9.3% of the popular vote).
Incidentally, Scottish Labour is now headed by a Glasgow-born Pakistani, who apparently has a £5M share in a family grocery business: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anas_Sarwar.
Scottish Labour’s problem is at one with that of UK Labour generally— the disappearance of the industrial proletariat. In addition to that, Labour ground has been taken by the faux-nationalist and sort-of social-democratic SNP.
As for the young lady who wants to lead the youth wing of Scottish Labour, she sounds like a caricature from the days of Michael Foot, with her talk of “picket lines” etc. Ha ha! Asinine or what?!

My Anglo-Russian girlfriend in the 1980s, seven years older than me, once told me about the time when, as a young (about 19-y-o) student, she was sent from the UK (in or about 1969) to see her relatives in Leningrad (those who, unlike her mother and others, had not fled as children from the Bolshevik revolution, or coup d’etat, in late 1917), to improve her spoken Russian (her degree course was in Russian and French).
The assembled Russian aunts, uncles etc asked what she did in her leisure time at Cambridge University. She said that she had a part-time job in a pub, in order to socialize, and to make a little extra money at the same time.
So far so good, except that (her colloquial Russian still being rudimentary despite her background and university studies) she translated “pub” (ie “public house”) as “publichny dom“, which is literally “public house”, but in Russian is actually the colloquial term for a brothel, or bordello.
There ensued a shocked silence, then questions from her aunts and uncles, such as “does your mother know?!” (“Oh, yes, my parents both said that it would be good for me to do that work, and meet people from various walks of life”) and “do other girls at the University do it?” (“Oh, yes, many do…a way to make some money and enjoy some evenings, and not difficult once you get used to it” etc…).
Eventually, one of her uncles realized that the problem was linguistic, not her morals or the decadence of Western society…

I predicted something like this many years ago. There is really little difference between a late-term foetus and a young baby. Many people are born prematurely, are usually completely healthy, and some go on to to be of world-historic significance (historically, St. Paul, for one). A foetus is dependent upon its mother, but a baby (human) is also completely dependent, unable to live independently. In fact, it is an irrefutable fact that a human child is only gradually less dependent; it takes years.
The evil displayed in that proposed Californian legislation is a sign of the times. Many of the most significant (and often negative) cultural manifestations affecting Europe, and other parts of the world, have emerged over the past century from California.
The fact that the unvaccinated are NOT dying in droves as they predicted they would, and are instead healthy and thriving while the triple vaccinated continue to get sick, is not being talked about enough.
I have met many American lawyers, had dealings with quite a few, and also seen some in action in both state courts (in New York) and Federal courts (in New York and New Jersey). A few are highly intelligent; most are not. As for advocacy, most are rock-bottom.

Everything in politics today is too binary. It seems you either have to take one position, or the other. Nuance? ‘Nah, can’t have that’. You’re either with us or against us’. There are no shades of grey. Everything is black or white.

First thing that a French high school did with Ukrainian refugees is to organize "speed dating" between African guys (who look like adults) and Ukrainian girls (who look under age).
France, like Britain, needs a cultural purge. Followed by “Nuremberg” laws.
