But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.
John Quincy Adams (Prescient man – he foresaw that slavery could be ended only by a presidential decree in a war and that destroying monsters abroad would destroy liberty at home.)
A lot of the people who comment on this blog seem to me to be patriotic Americans. And, it’s clear, if you read the comments, that many of them – probably the majority – want Russia to win the war. This is not because they like Putin or Russia particularly, and certainly not because they’re on the “Putin payroll”. Not at all. These people understand what is really at stake.
These are people who know that the American war party (one of many names – deep state, borg, neocons, one percent, MICIMAC) is responsible for pushing Russia to the decision that it made last February. That it is the war party that expanded NATO despite the promises, that arms Ukraine, that encourages the fanatics driving that country, that blocks all routes to a peaceful settlement, that encourages Kiev to squander the lives of its people. But what really concerns these patriotic Americans is the damage the war party has done to their country.
The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force… She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit…
An America of war all the time everywhere, of tent cities and full jails, of open borders, disappeared manufacturing, opiates, misery, poverty, corruption. An America with endless money to spend abroad but none to spend at home. (The hundred billion dollars dumped into Ukraine would give a $200,000 house to every one of the estimated half million homeless in the USA!) An America failing, no longer the American they loved, served and believed in. The Twitter revelations show some of the activities of this enemy embedded in the American polity. It’s very late and many fear that it is too late.
How to get this leech off America’s back? Voting can’t make much difference if both parties are manipulated. Is the voting system itself corrupted? Can the judicial system be trusted? Special counsels who report when it’s too late to matter? The managed media? Some may still believe in these things but the people I’m talking about don’t any more.
They can only see one way that the power of this internal enemy can be broken – complete and utter defeat. Defeat that cannot be ignored, cannot be explained away, defeat too big and too obvious for the obedient mass media to bury.
And that is why these people want Russia to win. They don’t necessarily like Russia or Putin or dislike Ukraine – it has little to do with either. It’s because they see this as the opportunity for the humiliating defeat that will shatter the power of the internal enemy. The war party assumed that Russia was weak and sanctions would crash its economy and bring down Putin. When this didn’t happen, they doubled down on their failed bet arrogantly certain they were right because everybody they allowed to speak agreed with them. If (when) Russia scores a decisive and undeniable victory, the perpetrators of the disaster will be revealed as corrupt fools wasting your money on their worthless fantasy.
Russia is also fighting a bigger war against the so-called rules-based international order. This shiny label covers the assertion that whatever America and its allies/subordinates do is right and whatever its opponents do is wrong and is the war party’s license to interfere everywhere. The hope is that the defeat – following on the Afghanistan debacle – will so weaken the war party that it will fall.
This far I have talked of patriotic Americans wanting Russia to win but I believe that every country in the West has people who also want Russia to win because utter, obvious and undeniable defeat is the only way that they can see to get their leeches off their backs.
The West is ruled by corrupt fools who are sending it to disaster – it is circling the drain of history. The hope is that Russian victory will burst the bubble, the internal enemy will be got rid of and these countries will start to mind their own business, care for their own populations and forget about the (mostly imaginary) monsters out there.

Without a doubt!
‘Patriotic Americans wanting Russia to win.... but I believe that every country in the West has people who also want Russia to win....... because utter, obvious and undeniable defeat is the only way that they can see to get their ‘leeches’ off their back!!!!
Amen!.
the only monster is Putin
which, of course, this Russian-propaganda article lets off without blame
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.…
Nietzsche
You are truly a fool, but then you are from Truedope land.
The monsters are those in government who make money off of this and conduct the orchestra from behind the scene
One-trick pony alert.
If you battle with monsters, take care not to become one yourself.
Nietzsche
That's what every moron believes.
Thank you for posting this. Will it have any effect, NO! The Beltway and Euro Masters of the Universe are in the saddle and truly believe they will create a global universal empire as soon as they can destroy Russia and the non-woke whiteys of the US. (Remember these are the same people who loudly proclaimed they were going to ‘transform’ Afghanistan and ‘nation build’ Iraq). Such hubris invites a visit from Lady Nemesis, it will not be pleasant but the schadenfreude will be great
“in before the Zeepers!”
good article,thanks
i don’t make predictions about this war but hope that the Soros/Biden/Schuab corruption can be stopped before this New World Order is permanently the dominant force here in the US.Globalists are evil and the world will be safer if the ukraine is partitioned and forced to remain neutral.
Wound my heart with monotonous languor
This post gives me hope that I’m not the only one cheering for Putin to win. Ukaine has been a nest of Nazis since WW2. They were never conquered and have grown to monster size. Russia has known that and finally saw the need to stop them.
All of us so far but one.
Yes!
Yes here. We have become a monster without care for the grief and misery we cause, arrogant and stupid, full of false pride which the ignorant call patriotism.
Well, there is a just Father and his vision is perfect.
“ This is not because they like Putin or Russia particularly, and certainly not because they’re on the “Putin payroll”.”
Yeah it is.
Because they are ignorant morons who don't understand president-for-life Putin has established a police state.
