Putin Ominously Proclaims “War Has Been Declared On The Russian World”

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A foreboding new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first notes President Putin ominously proclaimed at the State Council meeting yesterday: “Colleagues have spoken, asserting that a war has been declared on the Russian world, and I agree — it is indeed so”.

On the brink of President Putin officially proclaiming a war on Russia has been declared by the socialist Western colonial powers, this report notes, socialist European Union and NATO member leader German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called President Donald Trump on Thursday, with them agreeing on the phone to work toward a fair, just and sustainable peace in Ukraine as soon as possible—a phone agreement followed by top Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov revealing today: “The Kremlin has rejected reports suggesting German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is planning to visit Moscow for a discussion with President Vladimir Putin about prospects for peace with Ukraine”.

Following Russian military forces striking Kiev military targets yesterday in retaliation for its conducting attacks using long-range Western missiles, this report continues, Ukraine responded with a terrorist missile attack on Russian civilians killing six, including a child—Ukraine then conducted a terrorist drone attack against the Russian city of Kazan this morning targeting civilians, but no casualties were reported in this city that’s over 1,000 kilometers from the conflict zone—and the Ministry of Defense (MoD) announced today: “Operational and tactical aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, missile forces, and artillery of the Russian armed forces have targeted energy facilities that support the operation of enterprises of Ukraine’s military-industrial complex, the infrastructure of military airfields, storage facilities for unmanned aerial vehicles, and concentrations of personnel and military equipment of Ukrainian armed forces in 147 locations”.

While Ukraine targets innocent Russian civilians, this report details, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte declared: “European Union and NATO countries should not discuss peace talks so much because it aids Russia…Instead, Western states should focus on arms shipments to Ukraine”—a declaration followed by European Union and NATO member leader Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban exclaiming about the Western arms shipments to Ukraine: “I received the figure that Europe and America together have spent €310 billion so far…Those are huge numbers!…This enormous amount of money could have been given to Europeans to make people’s lives much better”.

In noticing how maniacally fixated the socialist Western colonial powers are in waging war against Russia, this report concludes, it caused world-renowned New Zealand global security expert Eugene Doyle to release his open letter “Killing Russian General Won’t Stop Reality Crashing In On Ukraine”, wherein he observed and assessed:

States don’t tend to kill each other’s generals, not least because it invites reciprocal action.  The bombing in Moscow this week, killing General Igor Kirillov, was a successful attack by Ukraine and its allies.

The ongoing use of long-range missiles by the West to hit targets inside Russia is, I suggest, surprisingly similar.  Both are designed to provoke a reaction rather than to achieve anything militarily.

They can’t alter battlefield realities.  It says a lot about where we have got to in the Ukraine war.

One of the hardest moments in life is when reality in the form of unavoidable facts destroys a cherished belief.  I think we are close to such a moment in the Ukraine war.  Earlier predictions of great success increasingly appear to clash with what has come to pass.  Such are the dreams of warriors.

The West did not pour hundreds of billions of dollars into Ukraine to lose, quite the opposite.  Yet that is clearly what is happening as the tempo of Russian gains in the east has quickened and the noose slowly tightens around tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk salient.  After a string of recent victories in the east, Russian forces are at the gates of Pokrovsk as well as approaching the last of the major fortified lines between them and the Dnieper river.

“Ukraine is struggling to stop Russian troops due to exhaustion, lack of arms and ammunition and not enough well-trained reserves”, Politico, usually a reliable cheerleader for the West, conceded recently.  The Western narrative has shifted from victory — retaking Crimea and driving the Russians into the Sea of Azov — to putting Ukraine in a more favourable position for negotiations, assumed to occur once the Trump administration takes office.

Two broad camps have dominated the discourse on the origins of the war, its intended goals and likely outcomes.

One camp — which holds a crushingly large share of voice in the Western mainstream media — says the war was totally unprovoked, Russia is intent on extinguishing Ukraine and then marching westward.  Russia must and will be defeated by a militarily, technologically and morally superior West.  The Russian economy will be smashed by sanctions and Vladimir Putin must be driven from power.

The other side, well supported by the majority of non-Western countries and dissident intellectuals, sees expansion of NATO to Russia’s border as a key driver, that the war is effectively a battleground over US hegemonic ambitions, including to drive Russia out of the ranks of the great powers (enabling the US to then turn its guns on China).  The war poses an existential threat to the Russian state and must be won if a multipolar world is to emerge.  They also predict that the Russians would, through a war of attrition, outperform the combined West.

In brief, we are talking about different models of reality, different worldviews that have their own rational and emotional anchors.

I’ve just read Robert Jervis’ “How statesmen think – the psychology of international politics”.  Early on, he says facts and other inconvenient truths have difficulty overcoming what he calls “theory-driven perceptions”.  But he goes on to say: “Self-deception often eventually brings political and personal grief”.

These are a few of those inconvenient truths that are now causing serious grief:

US military leaders, such as General James Hecker, commander of US air forces in Europe, are on record as saying the Russian army today is bigger, stronger and better than the one that took the field in 2022.  In contrast, analysts on all sides say the Ukraine army is seriously struggling and is failing to hold the line.

The Russian military industrial complex has outperformed the West: 7:1 in artillery shells, massively in missiles, S-400 interceptors, Oreshnik missiles, FAB 3000 glide bombs, etc.

According to the IMF, Russia will grow faster than all advanced economies in the coming year and now ranks ahead of both Germany and Japan in PPP (purchasing parity power), behind China, the US and India. The World Bank has upgraded Russia to “high income”.

Putin, according to various Western polling, is more popular than most leaders in Europe, not to mention the US. German data analysis company Statista says his approval rating has grown 10% since the start of the war.

None of this was predicted by those seeking to isolate and defeat Russia.  They are bitter pills for many to swallow because they are shaping facts on the ground.

It was hard for the US to let go of Vietnam, to accept the unavoidable truth that the greatest military power in history had been defeated by a “Third World” army that had been on the receiving end of the US’ vast bombing campaigns for years.  In Afghanistan, it was hard to admit that trillions of dollars and 20 years of American effort turned into dust overnight and that the Taliban waltzed unchecked through the country in a matter of days in August 2021.  The collapse was so swift that Taliban fighters waved the US troops goodbye from the tarmac of Kabul airport.

“Cutting losses after the expenditure of blood and treasure is perhaps the most difficult act a statesman can take; the lure of the gamble that persevering will recoup the losses is often too great to resist”, Jervis says.

Statesmen need to weigh in the balance the issue of the potential benefit of ongoing escalation, such as the recent decision to fire long-range missiles deep into Russia or going on an assassination spree (“We might win after all”) versus unpleasant consequences (“We’ll probably lose anyway and we might all get incinerated”).

So, as we stand here on the cusp of great change it is worth asking: whose prognostications proved more accurate and whose have proven false?

The predictive power seems to, yet again, lie with the best of the outsiders – academics like John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs, former US ambassadors like Chas Freeman and Jack Matlock, former intelligence experts like George Beebe and Larry Johnson, former military men like Colonels Danny Davis, Douglas Macgregor and Larry Wilkerson, and security analysts like Mark Sleboda and Brian Berletic, not to mention Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou from the Duran.  They have proven far closer in their predictions than the vastly resourced think-tanks, smartly-suited defence officials and the medal-encrusted generals on the other side of the debate.

I’ll give the last word to Professor Mearsheimer who, back in 2015 (seven years before the Russian invasion), gave his historic lecture Why Ukraine is the West’s fault, now viewed on YouTube alone more than 30 million times. Back then he said:

“Putin is basically telling the West in very simple terms, ‘You have two choices: you either back off right now and we go back to the status quo antebellum before 22 February 2014, where Ukraine is a buffer state, or you continue to play these games where you try and take Ukraine and make it a Western bastion on our doorstep – in which case we will wreck the country”.

“What we are doing”, Mearsheimer continued, “is, in effect, encouraging that outcome. I think it would make much more sense for us to work to create a neutral Ukraine. It would be in our interest to bury this crisis as quickly as possible. It certainly would be in Russia’s interest to do so, and most importantly, it would be in Ukraine’s interest to put an end to the crisis”.

“Miracle From God” Trump Officially Wins Election And Proclaimed “Most Powerful Human On Earth”

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A thought-provoking new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting President Donald Trump was officially declared the winner of the 2024 presidential election by the United States Electoral College yesterday, says this official declaration came at the same time the United States and its socialist Western colonial allies were the only nations in the world to vote against the United Nations resolution condemning Nazism—and was Western support for Nazism joined by prominent Ukrainian neo-Nazi Evgeny Karas demonically declaring: “Nuclear war is good”.

While Ukraine was supporting Nazism in the United Nations yesterday, this report notes, its Nazi-aligned intelligence service assassinated Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, who was the head of Russia’s Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Defense Forces—Russian authorities have detained a suspect in connection with the assassination, and top Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov observed: “In this case, our special services, law enforcement agencies, you see, they work efficiently, they work quickly…It is already obvious who the masterminds are, who are the organizers of this terrorist act…It is once again confirmed that the Kiev regime does not hesitate to use terrorist methods of work”.

Also supporting Nazism in the United Nations yesterday, this report continues, was Germany, whose government just collapsed causing the leftist Washington Post to warn: “Germany could be the canary in the coal mine for Western societies”—France supported Nazism in the United Nations yesterday, whose government just collapsed and was revealed today: “A total of 74% of the French disapprove of President Emmanuel Macron”—Romania supported Nazism in the United Nations yesterday, that just overturned its presidential election because an antiwar candidate won causing Politico to warn: “The case of the Romanian election has turned into a watershed moment for Europe as it seeks to control social media platforms’ influence on elections”—South Korea supported Nazism in the United Nations yesterday, and it was reported today: “South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, whose powers were suspended after he was impeached by the parliament, failed to appear for questioning by the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials in a mutiny case”.

Joining the collapsing socialist Western colonial governments supporting Nazism in the United Nations yesterday, this report details, was the United Kingdom, about which was revealed today: “Sir Kier Starmer has the worst approval rating of any prime minister in over a half century, with more than six in ten disapproving of his performance after five months in office”—a revelation joined with the news: “Nigel Farage flew to Mar-a-Lago, Florida, and has met with Elon Musk amid claims that the world’s richest man – and ‘first buddy’ to President-Elect Donald J. Trump – is poised to donate $100 million to Reform UK”—it was beyond shockingly reported that the socialist Biden Regime paid $300 million to leftist Reuters news service to target and smear Musk, which caused him to respond with the warning message: “Deep state traitors are coming after me, using their paid shills in legacy media…I prefer not to start fights, but I do end them”.

Also supporting Nazism in the United Nations yesterday, this report notes, was Canada, about which was revealed today: “Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faces growing pressure to resign from his own Liberal Party after his top minister abruptly quit…There is no mechanism for Trudeau’s party to force him out in the short-term…He could resign, or his party could be forced from power by a “no confidence” vote in Parliament that would trigger an election that would very likely favor the opposing Conservative Party ”—a revelation joined by President Trump posting the message: “No one can answer why we subsidize Canada to the tune of over $100,000,000 a year?…Makes no sense!…Many Canadians want Canada to become the 51st State…They would save massively on taxes and military protection…I think it is a great idea…51st State!!!”.

As Nazi supporting socialist Western colonial governments continue collapsing, this report concludes, the leftist Washington Post warningly observed about President Trump today: “The president-elect is threatening to act on his decades-old annoyance with NATO and the Europeans whom he views as leeches and layabouts”—a warning joined by American conservative political analyst Wayne Allyn Root declaring: “I’ve studied politics since 1964…So, hear me when I now say, President Donald J. Trump’s victory on November 5th wasn’t just a landslide…It was a miracle from God”—and American leftist political analyst Van Jones issued the proclamation:

Donald Trump is not an idiot.

Donald Trump, let me just be very clear: Donald Trump is smarter than me, you, and all of his critics.

You know how I know?  Because he has the White House, the Senate, the House, the support, the popular vote.  He has a massive media ecosystem bigger than the mainstream built around him and for him and a religious fervor in a political movement around him, and his best buddy is the richest person in the history of the world, and the most relevant Kennedy is with him.

This dude is, is a phenomenon.  He is the most powerful human on Earth and in our lifetime.
