DISCUSS: What’s really happening in Ukraine?
For weeks now we have heard the US (and, to a lesser extent) the UK screeching about the (allegedly) imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Russia has denied any intention to invade Ukraine whatsoever, repeatedly and at length. Most recently Putin described the US attitude as “peak hysteria”.
The governments of both France and Germany have downplayed any Russian threat to Ukraine, leading the US media to dub Germany a “bad ally”.
Even more unusual, the President of Ukraine has suggested the threats are overblown, and has called on the West to stop “creating panic”.
The US does not seem inclined to stop, and is dispersing panic like an untested vaccine.
They continually refer to Russian troops standing stock-still on Russian soil as “aggression”. They refer to the “build up” of (allegedly) 130,000 troops as if it is new, but it’s not.
Since the Ukrainian colour revolution and ensuing civil war in 2014, there have constantly been tens of thousands of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border, many of them in permanent bases in Transnistria and Crimea.
In December 2018, the Ukrainians claimed there were “over 80,000” Russians troops on their border. In spring last year that number was said to be 150,000 thousand – more than are apparently present now – yet there was almost no talk of war or invasion.
And yet the media talk up the “threat”, repeating any baseless claim the military or intelligence agencies deign to float their way.
We get detailed scare-stories about the “lone tank regiment between Putin and Kiev”, and puff-pieces about grandmothers learning to shoot.
There is a constant drip-feed of cod-psychological opinion pieces earnestly asking “what Putin wants” in Ukraine.
It really is “peak hysteria”. Just today, the US has announced they are shutting down their embassy in Kiev and moving all their diplomats further west…based on nothing.
There is almost an element of Chicken Little-like farce to the whole affair, watching the press and pundits talk for hours about something that, as yet, there is no evidence at all will EVER happen.
And I mean literally, no evidence at all, if you doubt that, watch this hilarious exchange between the State Dept’s spokesman and reporter Matt Lee:
Reporter: “It’s an action that you say they have taken, but you have shown no evidence to confirm that. […] This is like – crisis actors? Really? This is like Alex Jones territory you’re getting into now.”

The Biden administration has even suggested that Russia is waiting for the ground to freeze, and that’s why they haven’t invaded as yet. Because the one thing everyone knows about war in Eastern Europe is its easiest in the cold.
The UK has been little better, if at all. A few days ago the Daily Mail reported Russian warships sailing past Britain “bound for Ukraine”, neglecting to mention that “towards Ukraine” and “towards Russia” are the same direction.
The equivalent of describing US marines moving from North Carolina to Texas as “marching toward Mexico”. Technically true, but not really accurate.
Our MPs are being as bombastic as the US politicians too, not to mention highly unimaginative when it comes to historical analogies.
Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said there was a “whiff of Munich in the air”, regarding Johnson’s attitude to Russia.
Tobias Ellwood, always a handy weather vane given his deep ties to military, went on Channel 4 to echo this, saying Johnson needs a “Churchillian” attitude to Russia. Repeating himself in the Independent where he calls Johnson “more Chamberlain than Churchill”
Ellwood also called the invasion “inevitable and imminent”…but that was a month ago. It’s “imminent” again today.
Now, obviously, we can’t for certain, 100% say Russia won’t invade Ukraine. We live in unpredictable times, and if Covid taught us anything it’s that countries will co-operate on selling a story, even if they appear at odds most of the time.
But it’s hard to see what Russia would gain from it, or why they would do it in February. Even if they intended to invade before, why would not abandon the plan after the whole Western world is put on early alert?
An invasion just wouldn’t make any sense.
As I write this it appears the press are laying the groundwork for a back-pedal. Joe Biden claimed today a “crucial window for diplomacy remains open”, to which one can only say “duh! nothing has happened!”.
Politico are claiming the Russians are standing down, writing about Putin’s “de-escalation dance”. The Indy reports that Russia is “open to democracy” and Ukraine “willing to make concessions”.
Even the Guardian, long the loudest cheerleader for any kind of war with Russia, claims there are “rare nods towards de-escalation”.
So, will it just all wind down? And if so what is, or was, the point?
It could be as simple as NordStream 2, the new gas pipeline running from Russia to Germany across the Baltic sea.
The US has opposed the project since its inception and regularly pressures Germany to drop out. The pipeline would hurt Ukraine by providing a quicker route for Russian gas to be imported to Western Europe, and hurt the US because they want to sell American gas to Germany et al.
That’s probably why any talk of Ukraine-related sanctions always begins with NordStream 2, and why you see pieces like this one calling it a “geopolitical weapon”, or this one detailing its hidden “Stasi connections”. And that’s just from the last two days.
It could be about the Ukrainian regime ramping up hostilities against the breakaway regions of Luhansk and Donetsk, and wanting to pre-emptively set up a narrative of “Putin did it”.
It could also be about forcing the issue of Ukraine joining NATO, a project in the works since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
It could be about making NATO seem useful and strong, by creating a situation where they can claim “strong Western alliances” have “averted war” by forcing Russia to stop a war they never intended to start.
But what do you think?
- Will Russia invade?
- What would Russia gain from war?
- Is this just Biden playing to his domestic audience?
- Will Ukraine join NATO?
- Is this all a ploy to ramp up the campaign against Donetsk, but lay the blame on Russia?
- Will Nordstream 2 be shut down for good?
- What happens if Russia never invades?
- …will NATO claim to have “averted the war”?
We’re working on a long refresher piece on Ukraine, going all the way back to 2013 and beyond, to review how we ended up here. Until then, discuss in the comments below.

Forty minutes of quiet humour as Alex Mercouris soberly reads out the facts.
“Severe measures”: Oil Price approaches $100/barrel as U$/UK war scaremongering yields economic bonanza for Russia.
“Sanctions from Hell”: Sky high gas prices from EU$A restrictions on Russia’s NS2 gas pipeline benefit Russia.
“Russia please! please! invade”: U$/UK forces desert Kiev, leaving East Ukraine open to Russian invasion. EU$A plans afoot to move Ukraine capital West, across the river Dnieper to former Polish city of Lvov. Kiev is practically defenseless; but citizens hopes are dashed because Russia stubbornly refuses to occupy Ukraine. Russians say that to be occupied by Russia is not a freebie handed out with the cookies; it is a right that must be earned – eg, from a plebiscite like in Crimea.
Digital national currencies traded bilaterally whilst closing-the-pipeline-to-profit-from-spot-prices actually makes physical military occupation more, not less, important. How would excess US dollars be absorbed?
Also, as small German municipal banks and cooperative banks accumulate liabilities and the big bankers in New York share in the profits, the neo-Nazi Ukraine is about to become a failed state. The Polish – Lithuanian alliance is about to re-emerge, and the maggots that ate Hitlers brain have emerged from a submarine beneath Antarctica and are telepathically controlling Joe Whats-‘is-name.
Given Putin is a child of the WEF, there is no us and them, just them…..and us….
BoJo uses the term false flag. What a conspiracy theorist.
There might be a typo in para 5: It says ‘ dispersing panic’: I think it should perhaps be ‘dispensing panic’?
Sharp eye.
This is all theater and show, it’s a psy-op. At no time did Creepy Dementia Joe say he would fight over Ukraine. All Biden talks about are economic sanctions not troops on the ground. But sanctions are an act of war so he needs to think before he makes an even bigger fool of himself. The Europeans know what war on their turf is like; unlike the Americans. Western Europe has a vested interest in diplomacy and peace since they will be hard hit by Russian missiles if war breaks out. Biden whose hand is weak is merely showing off. He knows Putin will do what’s in Russia’s best interests and an invasion/occupation doesn’t make sense and is not in the cards! Biden is in deep trouble here. His poll approval numbers are in the toilet and he has to do something, anything to make himself look relevant. A fake… Read more »
Biden’s poll numbers are cratering, even amongst the polls that skew heavily toward his supporters. The Democrats plan on campaigning on ending the scamdemic, but Fauci is refusing to play along so far. And the psy-op was so successful, even in areas that dropped their mask mandate, half the sheeple continue to wear them. In some liberal areas, there are protests to reinstate lockdowns and mask mandates because the lumpentariat are lost without them. Inflation is out of control. And a recent CNN poll revealed 56% of likely voters say Biden has done nothing right in his first year. So what to do? Go to war. Nothing distracts the populace like a good war. And the RINOs who love the military-industrial complex will gladly unite with the Democrats in a grand battle to “save democracy!” War is normally good for a President’s poll numbers. Plus there is a lot of… Read more »

America’s Real Adversaries are its European and Other Allies
The U.S. aim is to keep them from trading with China and Russia
“What worries American diplomats is that Germany, other NATO nations and countries along the Belt and Road route understand the gains that can be made by opening up peaceful trade and investment. If there is no Russian or Chinese plan to invade or bomb them , what is the need for NATO? What is the need for such heavy purchases of U.S. military hardware by America’s affluent allies? And if there is no inherently adversarial relationship, why do foreign countries need to sacrifice their own trade and financial interests by relying exclusively on U.S. exporters and investors?
Instead of a real military threat from Russia and China, the problem for American strategists is the absence of such a threat.”
Capitalism ‘progresses’ by crisis. ‘Creative destruction,’ Schumpeter’s newspeak revision of Marx, is what maintains the imperative of ‘accumulation through dispossession’ (David Harvey). Or to paraphrase Baron von Rothschild’s more eloquent version, when there’s blood in the streets that’s the time to profit. Should it come as a surprise that our ruling class overlords plan and plot crisis in order to expand their investment opportunities and usher us in to the next stage of our subjugation? From wagging the dog and regime change ops to false flags and propaganda campaigns, war above all stands as clear evidence of what ruling ideology would have us dismiss as sedition or conspiracy theory or domestic terrorism. War itself, like the rest of our ‘civilized’ society, has been revolutionized by technological advances in ‘creative destruction.’ Those still conceiving combat in nineteenth century terms were not prepared for the industrial warfare of WWI. And those today still conceiving warfare in conventional… Read more »

It’s all as genuine as professional wrestling. The game seems to be in determining who will be portrayed as the instigator. This matters little to the puppet masters, who win every war, and who do quite well without war too. There will be plenty to “build back better”in any event.

The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has last month dialled their Doomsday Clock to “100 seconds to midnight”. That’s 20 seconds closer than the last time they fiddled with it, back when The Donald was trading insults with KJU.

Read & weep (or laugh, or vomit..) https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/current-time/ They have crammed as many NeoCon, Global Reset agendas in there as they can justify as a nuclear threat.

“It’s a painful read.”
Thanks for sparing us the necessity of reading. By preparing that digest you show that the Bulletin, like many other once worthy publications, has been thoroughly infiltrated by Soros and is now part of his “Attack from the Left”.
Capitalist subversion and infiltration in journalism parallels that in political activism, business innovation (where they buy up promising or inconvenient newbies), etc.
I think Russia’s goals are quite clear. They don’t want NATO on their borders and they don’t want to see unnecessary bloodshed in the east. The don’t want to ‘invade’ Ukraine because its a economic basket case and a political hot potato We are told a number of half-truths and many people are too young to question them. One is that NATO is a ‘defensive alliance’. To anyone who’s lived through the Cold War in the UK this is a bit of a joke; I refer them to Duncan Campbell’s book “The Unsinkable Aircraft Carrier” that discusses the UK in the contest of an armed camp with its population held hostage to nuclear annihilation. NATO is not defensive — its a projection of American offensive power directed at communism but in the absence of that mission its just redirected at anyone or anything that challenges American hegemony. There’s a lot… Read more »
Superbly said Martin!
It is quite revealing to know that Sanctions against Russia are in fact sanctions against economic ties between Germany and Russia!
.. and then we have the australians supporting these sanctions (australia is a major gas exporter) and they are mulling introducing their own sanctions against Russia.
And America (with the UK) also fucked over France on their submarine contract with Australia, complete with lots of scary rhetoric about Russia. Seems pretty clear which way the Anglosphere is going (I’d say the language is political at this point, and a second/third etc. reccomended, even just to be able to escape the bubble) and that the US remains confident of bullying other ‘allies’. This Ukraine thing sounds really random, especially how flagrant it is that the narrative is arranged, with the ridiculous Wednesday date (…please Putin do not embarrass me for having defended Russia by actually invading), but they’ve maybe been ramping it up for a while, proxy wars, Trump claims, alleged voting interference. It could be in part another ‘stress test’: I’d never have believed even the Deep State (whatever that means in reality) could get the Dems and Republicans to flip sides on who distrusts Russia… Read more »
To remain loyal, ally Germany has gone though a terrible and exepensive winter due to fuel/energy. But at least it is not issuing moronic statements. Ally Australia is keeping up the moronic statements. It is trying to “swim upstream” against ever more trade bans from its major benefactor China.

Well here’s a shot in the dark for you. All this is about giving the EU the ability to disintegrate NATO. I take it its the EU making the move by enticing the Clinton Faction or War Mongers in Washington. I would hazard to speculate, most EU powers have decided they don’t want NAYTO and the costs that go along with it. Who knows perhaps they want to create their own alliance to defend themselves against the US, UK and Canada? A loss for the “Wild West” as it (NATO) is a primary source of subsidizing their war machine corporations.

…I do believe you’re onto something, Beerman… – I just posted a comment which has gone into pending right now (it included 3 links), and should appear somewhere above your’s in due course… My first link was to Tom Luongo’s latest piece where he echoes your take, but additionaly figures this is ultimately a play by Davostan (whom he equates with ‘old European money’)…
…- The upshot will be the prompt replacement of the US by the EU as (Western) geopolitical hegemon and dictator of Western foreign policy, followed by trading and economic integration with Eurasia (China/Russia) as partners, whilst the ongoing Bankster-led ‘Asia pivot’ continues apace…
Before the “replacement” can happen fully, expect a play on the euro which will see it get decimated in the short term. Its a great opportunity to buy in and settle down for the ride , well my ride at least. Life is about end games after all. The EU will evolve rather than dissolve. A move into gold and silver is fine but there still needs to be a currency and perhaps the currency du moment is the Euro in due course. Expect a devaluation of the US dollar sometime in the next two to three years if not sooner and this will destroy what’s left of the Canadian dollar. The pound will survive as a laundering currency, unless cyber currency pulls a rabbit out. depends on how Boris plays his cards in the next few years. yes he will be around.

Russia surpasses Mexico as a strategic supplier of oil and gas to the US before the end of 2021.
This is a terrorist nation that robs other nations’ tankers and sells the petroleum on the open market. It may well resell some of that Russian fuel to Europe. Another case of “Do as I say, not as I do”.
What’s in a name?
Zelensky. Surname derived from ‘zeleny’ or ‘green’.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/green/translations#Adjective
Putin. Put-in. Put’ (in Russian, Ukrainian,…) being ‘The Way’.
‘The Way’ figuring in multiple religions. The original Jesus movement being known as ‘The Way’. The ‘Tao’ of Taoism also meaning ‘way’.
So we have a Mr. Green vs a Mr. Way. Green agenda vs historical religion
(‘The Way’ of Putin also contrasting with the laziness (len’) of Lenin and the ‘steel’ (stal’) of Stalin? Wasn’t he a steely character??)
From Vladimir Lenin to Vladimir Putin. Communism to freedom for the Orthodox Church
And now battle of the Vlads with Volodymyr vs Vladimir (Vladimir deriving from Volodymyr).

I wonder what Vladimir the Great would have made of it all 🤔
…”The Way that can be told not the eternal Way; The name that can be named is not the eternal name…” 😉
…- Perhaps also, Zelensky is the ‘Green Man’?…
Quite possible. That would be another angle:

And there’s more: The colours of the Ukrainian flag, yellow and blue, when mixed, become green. If that’s not kind of ominous. 😂
The global oligarchy cannot allow any sober, scientific accounting of the past 2 years, as this would reveal that all the excess mortality, economic and social devastation was caused by government responses, orchestrated at a global level, to a non-existent pandemic. Therefore, the Russian oligarchy needs this distraction over Ukraine just as much as the US & NATO does. We are engaged in a class war on a global scale that is going to get increasingly violent over the next few years
Old Russian Jewish joke: Don’t lie! You said you were going to Minsk because you wanted me to believe you were really going to Pinsk. But I happen to have seen your ticket so I know you are really going to Minsk.
Zelensky to Biden: Calm down! Putin said he was not going to invade Ukraine because he wanted you to believe he was really going to invade Ukraine. But I happen to have seen Putin’s troop dispositions so I know he is really not going to invade Ukraine.

The Weapon of Fear: How They Use Fear to Manipulate You He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.” ~Aristotle Since the moment we were born, society has imposed on us what to do, what to think and what to feel, and it has conditioned us to believe that if we don’t follow its rules, we’re bound to get into serious trouble. Parents taught us to behave in certain ways. If we did, they would reward us, and if we didn’t, they would punish us. Naturally, every child obeys its parents, because the child is dependent on the parents — it is a matter of survival, especially in its very early years.

Has the Ned Price clip gone viral yet?
I first saw it posted on Twitter four or five days ago. In amongst the majority of comments agreeing that it didn’t paint the US in a good light there were the expected small number of defensive comments arguing that Price couldn’t be expected to reveal high security intelligence evidence.
Apologies to the person who posted this first but, once read, the whole affair becomes blindingly obvious:
NATZO is in Ukraine is to prevent Europe getting a cheap, reliable gas supply via pipeline from Russia.
NATZO is in Syria to prevent Europe getting a cheap, reliable gas supply via pipeline from Iran.
NATZO is obviously a tool for keeping the Russians out, the Yanks in and Europe down.
Democrats claim imminent invasion, Biden imposes sanctions, Russia does not invade, Sanctions a success! Biden the great, all hail Democrats for midterms.
The Dems are taking a beating, Kamala’s approval lower than Darth Cheney, Biden approval tanking, Republican voter registrations rising. Maybe its an election campaign war footing to save their tanking polls. Also frightening, if they are willing to risk a hot war to maintain power.
“Democrats claim imminent invasion”
Interesting Tribal view.

The warmongering coming from the US and the UK is grossly irresponsible.
Clearly, the megaphone is directed at Germany, never mind the damage that is being done to Ukraine (Georgia was similarly instrumentalised and victimised).
Germany is giving up both nuclear energy and coal; without gas, the lights in Germany will go out. And no-one is any longer willing to put up with the Ukrainians’ gross skimming of gas deliveries.
The US thinks the Germans can be bullied into taking the US’ expensive and ecologically disastrous fracking gas … only the US is running out of that itself, so the US is shopping the bazaars of the Middle East for gas to foist on Germany.
Germany’s political class is pathetically weak, so there is no knowing what will happen. But over the longer term, this is setting up an extremely explosive situation.
The story is that the heroic stand led by Mr Biden and taken by Mr Johnson and other Western leaders has victoriously stopped the Red Menace from invading Brave Little Ukraine. I would love to know the real disposition of military units along the Russian border to see if there was any so-called “massing” taking place. The problem is that Western public hysteria has leaked out of the Covid story into just about anything suggested to them. Next China.
The US Military-Industrial Complex must ever be “Ready, Willing and Able” to turn any and every crisis to a profit. It’s been quite a while since the US has had to bring “freedom and democracy” to some resource rich country.
Fear of war is, for them, the next best thing to war itself – a consolation prize. It’s doubtful if talk of a Russian invasion of Ukraine will be allowed to die down until the MIC has managed to put some brand spanking new toys on the playing field.
After all, why should all the blood money go to Big Pharma when there are
greedyhungry MIC mouths to feed?Stories like the following maybe point to the “solution” being one of the favourite Anglo-US-Zio tricks… partition:
https://edition.cnn.com/2022/02/14/politics/us-embassy-kyiv-closure/index.html
Partition is clever because it looks like a compromise. In reality, it serves several agendas: 1) Justification for mass population movements (if not deaths for population reduction) 2) Creates a permanent source of future dialectics (aka flashpints) that can be easily turned on or off 3) It uses the globalists’ enemies’ main idea, national borders, against them. They love nothing more than to do this (it’s why they love those Eastern fighting techniques that use the opponents’ weight against them). 4) In the long run it all discredits the idea of national frontiers.
Should we be getting ready to welcome Western Ukraine (or whatever name they come up with) into the family of nations?…
At this point, everything is about germ theory and the virus narrative. People are about to figure it out, and that cannot be allowed to happen, at all cost.

I think the world has collectively gotten sick to death of the scam culture we’re all immersed in. Though con artists have preyed on others since time immemorial, it became pervasive in the 1980’s, when Wall St’s “greed is good” mantra began seeping into mainstream consciousness. Forty years later, neoliberalism has corroded every institution and now the final Technocracy stage threatens to install a permanent TNC (transnational corporation) scam-friendly global governance, where it will no longer be necessary to scurry off to the few nations known to protect criminals, now all nations will be crime havens… for the insiders. Humanity is better than this level, where the talentless parasites mingle. It will continue only as long as we accept the lies.
On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians
Vladimir Putin’s speech, delivered July 12, 2021 his views appear to remain as stated here. – prh, ed.
Who cares? That evil bully Putin is sitting on a fortune of natural resources that, by right, belong to us. Let’s give him a bloody nose ……and a black eye (caution-esoteric symbolism).
Something that very much depresses me about the Ukraine/Russia issue is that many of my acquaintances who believe we are being lied to over the ‘pandemic’, have seen the duplicitous behaviour of the UK Government, and support any number of ‘conspiracy theories’, seem to have, paradoxically, bought in wholeheartedly to the mainstream narrative about Ukraine and Russia. Most of them have no idea about Maidan, aren’t aware of the popularity of State sanctioned neo-Nazi militia in Ukraine, have no idea about the ongoing Donbass conflicts or the persecution of ethnic Russians in Ukraine or the history of Crimea. I try to educate where I can. I look forward to the forthcoming Off Guardian analysis of the recent history of the region.
Paradoxically, I can think of a few ardent covidians who don’t buy into this latest media confection. The cognitive dissonance cuts both ways.
One would expect ardent Covidians, those who will believe anything the government tells them, to believe, when told to believe, that the Commies are coming.
Yes, one would expect that.
But that’s not what I’m seeing either.
Well, I’m working from a small sample (Aged Father) but…
He can’t stand Boris, or any Tory, know Boris lies but will believe any Boris appointee just as long as they own a white coat and/or a stethoscope. Will assume that the US and the UK are warmongers but will make an exception for Russia.
Beholden to authority figures.
Much of the left are less sold on “aggressive Russia” than they are on “deadly Covid”.
Deadly Covid is being sold by “doctors” and “scientists”. Aggressive Russia is being sold by politicians.
You cant beat a bit of posturing when you’re miles behind in the polls and the midterms are coming up…

Can someone riddle me this……. I’ve had anti-semitism and the Holocaust shoved down my neck ad-infinitum since Jeremy Corbyn became a threat. Huddersfield Univeristy has Holocaust memorial on-site. I would expect that many more campuses have them.

Even the Swamp-delusionals have a vague understanding that if they push too far in that direction, they’re likely to trigger a coup d’etat by the sane contingent of the US military – backed by a considerable percentage of the US populace – against the Swampies. Even inveterate doublethinkers always maintain a sober idea of the actual realities, locked away in a memory hole somewhere in their subconscious minds. That essential tether to the… Read more »
Hey, would anyone have a good read about that colour revolution in 2014 please?
I’d recommend Frontline Ukraine: Crisis in the Borderlands by Richard Sawka (Prof of Russian Politics at Kent University) which is great for the background, context and events of 2014.
