All the way to Odessa
The Vineyard of the Saker ^ | Aug. 27, 2022 | Pepe Escobar,

Posted on 08/27/2022 4:29:38 PM PDT by Vlad0

Dmitry Medvedev, relishing his unplugged self, has laid down the law on the Special Military Operation (SMO). Bluntly, he affirmed there is a “one and a half” scenario: either to go all the way, or a military coup d’Etat in Ukraine followed by admitting the inevitable. No tertium applies.

That’s as stark as it gets: the leadership in Moscow is making it very clear, to internal and international audiences, the new deal consists in slow cooking the Kiev racket inside a massive cauldron while polishing its status of financial black hole for the collective West. Until we reach boiling point – which will be a revolution or a putsch.

In parallel, The Lords of (Proxy) War will continue with their own strategy, which is to pillage an enfeebled, fearful, Europe, then dressing it up as a perfumed colony to be ruthlessly exploited ad nauseam by the imperial oligarchy.

Europe is now a runaway TGV – minus the requisite Hollywood production values. Assuming it does not veer off track – a dicey proposition – it may eventually arrive at a railway station called Agenda 2030, The Great Narrative, or some other NATO/Davos denomination du jour.

As it stands, what’s remarkable is how the “marginal” Russian economy hardly broke a sweat to “end the abundance” of the wealthiest region on the planet.

Moscow does not even entertain the notion of negotiating with Brussels because there’s nothing to negotiate – considering puny Eurocrats will only be hurled away from their zombified state when the dire socio-economic consequences of “the end of abundance” will finally translate into peasants with pitchforks roaming the continent.

It’s not weird once you realize the “progressives” are pervert-loving communists.

[Excerpt] As it stands, what’s remarkable is how the “marginal” Russian economy hardly broke a sweat to “end the abundance” of the wealthiest region on the planet.

Moscow does not even entertain the notion of negotiating with Brussels because there’s nothing to negotiate – considering puny Eurocrats will only be hurled away from their zombified state when the dire socio-economic consequences of “the end of abundance” will finally translate into peasants with pitchforks roaming the continent.

It may be eons away, but inevitably the average Italian, German or Frenchman will connect the dots and realize it is their own “leaders” – national nullities and mostly unelected Eurocrats – who are paving their road to poverty.

You will be poor. And you will like it. Because we are all supporting freedom for Ukrainian neo-nazis. That brings the concept of “multicultural Europe” to a whole new level.

I think I’d be hard pressed to cram any more metaphors into one article than this author has achieved. He must be smart

Can you expand on that? Are you making a point?

Or was your comment just a rhetorical flourish, signifying naught?

I’ve been saying exactly the same - the Left only started hating Russia, AFTER they were threw off Communism.

And that’s why I’m so suspicious of the Russia-haters we see on this site.

Totally agree.

Maybe some of them are just rigidly locked into their 40-year-old Cold War hatred of the Communist USSR, long extinct.

Hard to say. But just imagine the United States building a Military Cathedral today, as opposed to a shrine to Woke LGBTQ+ depravity. I know that the USAF Academy Chapel does have a “Wicca” section. As do many U.S. military bases.

Just imagine the 2022 American version of a military cathedral. Side chapels for full-term abortion, child “trans” surgery, gay sex, etc.

Not in Hungary or Russia. That’s why American libs are going insane. Just can’t understand the freepers who agree with our proggys.

Just that turgid prose is pretentious and unconvincing

“I know that the USAF Academy Chapel does have a “Wicca” section. As do many U.S. military bases.”

The USAFA chapel is being remodeled. I don’t expect Christian results. Right now it’s got a big ol’ white tent over it.

They started hating Russia in 2014 when they were not allowed topple Assad in Syria or conquer all of Ukraine.

Just after the WW2 Tehran Conference, Stalin said to a journalist, (roughly translated):"It's high time the Slavic race was in charge of Europe."

Putin is channeling Stalin, and probably knows it.

Never forget that modern-day Russian culture is heavily influenced by the Mongol hordes who over-ran Russia in the 13th century. They never really left.

Very true, this part the truest “…..(the West) who are paving their road to poverty“.

As I have stated, why is the West so intent on committing suicide?

Will the war cheerleaders realize what is happening by backing Biden’s Ukie war?

“Just imagine the 2022 American version of a military cathedral. Side chapels for full-term abortion, child “trans” surgery, gay sex, etc.”

And perhaps that’s a factor - about the ONLY group that can be openly hated are Russians - pretty much everyone else, even those in wheelchairs, cannot be mocked (unfortunately).

So perhaps that’s a factor too.

Mostly Alex Jones is right. He nailed this a long time ago. (Which is why the Left hates his and wants to smash him and get him off the internet)

There is a Globalist agenda, run by the weird mix of private and semi-private groups like the World Economic Forum, Soro's Open Society groups, other NGO's, the Bilderbergers, the Council on Foreign relations, and their aligned corporate CEOS and bankster scum.

Ukraine has been a key component in their plans, it's a huge money laundering operation - which is why the Pelosi's, Biden and John Kerry family all had their snouts in the slop, and why the State Department, especially the Neocon cohort, organized the coup d'etat in 2014 that started the whole thing. Ukraine was to be their playground.

A lot of the same people were key players in the first Trump impeachment, which was (in retrospect, even more clearly) a setup.


Victoria Nuland, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs. Daughter of Sherwin B. Nudelman, a surgeon born to Ukrainian Jewish immigrants, she changed her last name.


George Soros, key instigator of the 2014 coup d'etat under guise of a "color revolution".


Col. Alexander Vindman, the key sketchy "witness" in the first Trump impeachment, and a native of Ukraine.
Alexander Semyon Vindman (né Aleksandr Semyonovich Vindman) and his identical twin brother Yevgeny were born in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, Soviet Union to a Jewish family


Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the recipient of the phone call that provided the pretext for the first impeachment of Trump. There was one President installed after the Coup, Zelenskyy beat him in the 2019, he is the pet of Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskyi, and was the ultimate beneficiary of the 2014 Coup.

Zelenskyy's presidential campaign against Poroshenko was almost entirely virtual. He did not release a detailed policy platform and his engagement with mainstream media was minimal; he instead reached out to the electorate via social media channels and YouTube clips. In place of traditional campaign rallies, he conducted stand-up comedy routines across Ukraine with his production company Kvartal 95. He styled himself as an anti-establishment, anti-corruption figure, although he was not generally described as a populist. He said he wished to restore trust in politicians, "to bring professional, decent people to power" and to "change the mood and timbre of the political establishment". On 16 April 2019, a few days before the election, 20 Ukrainian news outlets called on Zelenskyy to "stop avoiding journalists". Zelenskyy stated that he was not hiding from journalists but that he did not want to go to talk shows where "people of the old power" were "just doing PR" and that he did not have time to satisfy all interview requests.


Ihor Valeriyovych Kolomoyskyi (Ukrainian: Ігор Валерійович Коломойський, Ihor Valerevych Kolomoyskyi; Hebrew: איגור קולומויסקי; born 13 February 1963) is an Israeli–Cypriot billionaire, business magnate, and politician from Ukraine.

He has been rated as the second or third richest person in Ukraine (after Rinat Akhmetov and/or Viktor Pinchuk) and was seen as one of the most influential oligarchs. He co-founded PrivatBank and its informal extension of companies Privat Group in 1992, and acquired extensive media holdings. He served as Governor of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast from 2014 until his dismissal by President Petro Poroshenko in 2016. That year, following charges against him of large-scale fraud, PrivatBank was taken into state ownership.

Kolomoisky's media power and funding supported Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his successful 2019 presidential campaign. He was accused by President Petro Poroshenko of having his former TV channel star in his "pocket".
