People’s need to turn everything into a narrative, cast various players as good guys or bad guys, pick a side as if it’s a sporting contest, it’s natural but unhelpful when trying to figure out what is occurring and the consequences.
And just because somewhere is a corrupt place benefitting Bidens and Clintons doesn’t make it deserving of damnation.
Everywhere is corrupt. Every industry is corrupt.
Don’t choose sides unless you either have a dog in the fight or a clear sight of the global consequences.
My bias is towards whatever keeps the CCP off Taiwan. For purely selfish and personal reasons that I don’t expect others to share.
I expected the Russians to be mopping up by now and Zelensky to be dead or in Paris.
I was wrong. The work now is to find out what I didn’t know that made me wrong.

Using chess terminology, there is a complex game underway. Will one side end up checkmating the other? Will there be any winners or all pawns?
If we follow Fesharaki’s explanation, it seems as if Russia holds the trump card. All the “sanctions” being imposed by the West may just be bluff. Russia will play along till it decides not to. If Europe is so dependent on the oil and gas from Russia, can it really afford to censure Russia?
Meanwhile, Russia will continue to sell to its markets in the East, such as China and Korea.

Some serious observations in that comment, Arky.
We live in an insta-age. Everyone has an opinion or theory about everything. The moment some thought passes the mind, the world needs to know about it, uncensored. We have the gadgets for it. It can be done with a few clicks at the keyboard/pad. I am glad we have this blog where it is more matter than empty chatter. It moves slowly, but there is plenty to catch up on.
Two years ago, February-March 2020, there was confusion about the virus. Those who were prepared to read, research and also willing to listen to others who were sharing their research results, were the ones who quickly learned it was a scamdemic. The ones who rushed in thinking they know all, were the ones who fell for the government and media fear campaign.
In the case of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, it is early days, yet. Make time to take in information from reliable sources, without judgement. Many have biases and agendas. The truth will fall into place, when the time is right.

zoe daniels and allegra spender, 2 of holmes-a court’s political sluts, declaring the recent floods are due to AGW. Ghastly slags. Some facts. These are terrible floods no doubt but are dwarfed by previous efforts. Lismore got 146.8mm on the 24/2/2022, that’s just under 5″. By comparison the East coast of Australia and particularly the Hunter Valley flooded every year from 1949 – 1955, with the 55 flood being the big one. In Singleton and the Hunter catchment on the 23/2/1955 11″ or 275mm fell. However the Australian record was at Crohamhurst, north of Brisbane and near the Glass house Mts, which recorded 907mm or 36″ on the 3/2/1893.
These rich spoilt kunts and brats like zoe and allegra and popgun are the scum of the Earth. I bet popgun has diesel generators at his $100 million house in Sydney so when they get their way and the lights go out his lights will stay on. The other 2 rich bitches will no doubt have their back-ups as well.

Here is a comment on Quadrant, article by Mervyn Bendle.
I think the wealth of Ukraine is something we all need to understand re this conflict. Obviously, Ukraine has its bloodsucking Oligarchs as well, and maybe Russia was ‘entitled’ to Russian-language areas on its border, and in Crimea and its port. But to invade a sovereign nation as a whole because its wealth is looking good, that deserves condemnation in my book, and I pity the Ukrainian people. Look out Australia with China looking at our wealth too.
I confine myself to commenting on Quadrant these days, can’t stand the nastiness on what was once a playful and fun site called Catallaxy Files (now often in it’s flash Cat iteration Epilepsy Files in my book) but this list is worth getting out there for people to consider and Adam’s site is at least spared the bullying of the dickless upticks.
pmprociv – 28th February 2022
Fascinating stuff, while also increasingly depressing. However, I can’t help thinking much of this sophistry is simply a smokescreen. There’s no doubt that Putin must be one of the world’s smartest and best-connected street-thugs. He’s also incredibly avaricious (and addicted to ultra-luxuries), reputedly now the world’s richest person, thanks to skilfully stolen national resources. And it’s likely that his avarice has fed his megalomania, and vice-versa (psychologists would have a field day speculating about the underlying pathology, perhaps a variant of the Small-Man Syndrome). It’s possible that senility is also creeping in. One can only hope that he’s greatly over-estimated the capabilities and motivation of his own gangs, while underestimating the motivation and resourcefulness of his victims (and their potential helpers).
However, something that has been totally overlooked in all the discussions I’ve read about Putin’s latest criminal venture are the incredible national assets of Ukraine, access to which could immensely boost his personal wealth and that of his oligarch cronies. A friend with connections to mining just sent me this:
For those who ask, “Why does Ukraine matter?”, here are some powerful reasons:
It is the second largest European country by area, with a population >40 million, more than Poland.
Regarding minerals, Ukraine ranks:
1st in Europe in proven recoverable reserves of uranium ores;
2nd largest iron ore reserves in the world (30 billion tons);
2nd place in Europe and 10th place in the world in terms of titanium ore reserves;
2nd place in the world in terms of explored reserves of manganese ores (2.3 billion tons, or 12% of the world’s reserves);
2nd place in Europe in terms of mercury ore reserves;
3rd place in Europe (13th place in the world) in shale gas reserves (22 trillion cubic meters;)
4th in the world by the total value of natural resources;
7th place in the world in coal reserves (33.9 billion tons).
Ukraine is an important agricultural country, able to feed 600 million people:
1st in Europe in terms of arable land area;
1st place in the world in exports of sunflower and sunflower oil;
2nd place in the world in barley production and 4th place in barley exports;
3rd place in the world by the area of black soil (25% of world’s volume);
3rd largest producer and 4th largest exporter of corn in the world;
4th largest producer of potatoes in the world;
5th largest rye producer in the world;
5th place in the world in beer production (75,000 tons);
8th place in the world in wheat exports;
9th place in the world in the production of chicken eggs;
16th place in the world in cheese exports.
Ukraine is also an important industrialised country:
1st in Europe in ammonia production;
Europe’s 2nd’s and the world’s 4th largest natural gas pipeline system;
3rd largest in Europe and 8th largest in the world in terms of installed capacity of nuclear power plants;
3rd place in Europe and 11th in the world in terms of rail network length (21,700 km);
3rd place in the world (after the U.S. and France) in production of locators and locating equipment;
3rd largest iron exporter in the world;
4th largest exporter of turbines for nuclear power plants in the world;
4th world’s largest manufacturer of rocket launchers;
4th place in the world in clay exports;
4th place in the world in titanium exports;
8th place in the world in exports of ores and concentrates;
9th place in the world in exports of defence industry products;
10th largest steel producer in the world (32.4 million tons).
Ukraine matters. That is why its independence is important to the rest of the world.
I’d guess Uncle Vlad feels that he deserves some of these riches, and why not? He’s so special . . .

I wonder how George Bush, John HOward and Tony Blair are evaluating this.
Basically they are criminals themselves, after starting an illegal war in Iraq where hundreds of thousands of innocents were killed and callously called “collateral damage” by Western nations.
Putin seems intent of rebuilding Mother Russia. HOward/Bush/Blair – what was their motive with a war based on a huge lie? How do they equate their Christianity with the bloodshed and utter turmoil to Iraq that they caused?
I think Lizzie has got this wrong about Putin wanting some more money for himself. I think the term “Mother Russia” could be very important to him.

After a long journey from Kyiv to the border town of Chop in Western, Ukraine, we faced our toughest challenge yet. A long, but organized and peaceful queue to leave Ukraine and cross the border into the EU via Hungary went to complete chaos when a family of thirty or fifty Roma Gypsies cut in line and started pushing their way past Ukrainian women and children to get to the front. Things got so bad that the border closed doors for hours and the train to Hungary ended up leaving seats half empty as Ukraine was slow letting their citizens and refuges through border control.
