Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Launches 'SMO' to 'Denazify' Ukraine

[lilies]

For tech oriented members: Glenn Diesen interviewed Ted Postol - MIT Professor and Pentagon advisor - three days ago. Postol outlines the strengths and limitations of the Oreshnik missile, and debunks some of the myths. [..]

Here is a professional Russian soldier - Colonel Vladimir Trukhan's opinion on video about Oreshnik-explainers in this article, while he is smoking a cigarette. A reader posted an AI translation from Russian of what he is talking about: and to us, students of Gurdjieff a "rant" it definitely is not!

Opinion of the author of above article about Ted Postol:

Hey, Glenn Diesen, may I suggest more pseudo-military shysters like Karaganov or Ted Postol on your show. There is a lot of infogypsies who believe that NATO will exist 30 minutes after Russia decides to really finish it off. But then again, judging by the "level" of NATO militaries they are good only for photo ops. I will abstain here commenting on BS Ted Postol, who wouldn't be allowed anywhere near with his "Ph.D" in physics to teach even as a junior lecturer in Bauman's MGTU (not that he knows anything about it, or in MIT), spews about Oreshnik, but here is my good friend Colonel Vladimir Trukhan (he held clearances CIA amateurs can only dream about), apart from other common friends of ours (accidently, Ph.Ds and senior officers including from RVSN, not that Postol and his curators know anything about it) explaining in Russian about Oreshnik.

Why did Paul Craig Roberts delete his article titled - Does Putin Have a Traitor in His Government? - from his site mentioning Helmer? Curiously a key quote from PCR's deleted article was preserved in this article: search for the string "Helmer" to find the instances

If the report below from John Helmer is correct, the implication is that Alexei Kudrin, Putin’s good friend and a member of the Russian government, is a traitor to Russia. The way I read Helmer’s report, Kudrin, a hero to Washington but widely regarded in Russia as an agent of the billionaire oligarchs that Washington and Israel put in charge of Russian assets during the Yeltsin era, is giving speeches advocating that Russia sacrifice its sovereignty and national interests to Washington so that sanctions will be removed and Russian oligarchs can participate in the West’s looting of the rest of the world.

Also, watched the latest interview with John Helmer - very sober, and sobering assessment of the current situation, not only on the Ukrainian front but also on other theaters as they all are to some extent related to Russia and the war she is involved in, and of concern to her. A bit of history, consistent trends, mistakes made, weaknesses, contradictions, domestic and global players. Well worth your time!
