@Christian - I think you regard all wars as essentially the same, and evil - and that it is always evil to go to war. Therefore both sides are always culpable. And I think you regard it as naïve or...

@Christian - War is terrible. But there are even worse things.

Because it only takes one side to go to war; therefore, for a nation there may be only a choice between war and permitting genocide...

I found this analysis by "Simplicius" to be helpful. He argues that (ignoring all the lies and spin) we have witnessed an historically unprecedented event:

e.g.:

This strike was...

@christian - "absorb Ukraine within the next 10-12 years"

Not "absorb", surely.

Russia has always stated that they want Ukraine as a separate de-militarized (de-Nazified) state - i.e. a...

I lost interest in Trump when he said nice things to Hillary as soon as elected, and did nothing about her lawbreaking - going against everything he had said in the campaign (drain the swamp - Not!)....

Blowing my own trumpet for a moment, if I may be forgiven... One of my most successful publications, in terms of influence, was one in which I used the term Clever Sillies to explore this phenomenon,...

Bill, Well done both of you! I'm guessing the two of you didn't climb the whole 15,000 ft and back as an unplanned excursion in daylight? Which perhaps suggests you live at a pretty high altitude...

@TinTin: "Jaak: serious question - are you trolling us here?"

Serious question - if he was, would he admit it? ;)

Either way; whether a paid shill/ troll, or deluded anti-Russian, Jaak...

Off-topic - but highly relevant wrt commenter "Jaak" (and others)

The thing about paranoid and persecutory delusions (beliefs that are false, strongly held, powerfully-motivating, in practice...

I suspect that the Crocus event has moved things towards another stage of chaotic destruction (as no doubt was intended by those ultimately responsible for it).

I don't know the reliability of...

My thanks to all the Avalon stalwarts who have kept us so well-informed, in such a timely manner, over the past couple of vital days since the Crocus terror attack.

Your work is greatly...

The reason that such things happen, I believe, is because (under modern - management led - bureaucratic systems) the managers who "implemented" these changes that damaged Hertz have no interest in...

My assumption is that this video message is a bit more of the truth than we had before. But I think it would be naïve (given the number of times the public have been lied to so far) to suppose that...

On the one hand, the theories are fun but there are so many and various that individually they can't be taken seriously; on the other hand, we can be 100% certain that whatever the official story...

@Mari - I am no expert, Heaven knows! - but my first impression of that photo is that Kate's face had been pasted-in... Quite skillfully, but it doesn't look "right".

If you really wanted to...

@Shaberon - I don't personally believe that historical explanations are sufficient - and, in particular, it seems to me that the nature of dominating evil has changed over the centuries.

Indeed,...

It is difficult to know what really are the aims of the neo-con/ Kagan cult inside their minds. I'm sure that weakening Russia is one of these aims, and that plan has failed.

But... I suspect that...

Anyone who doubted that Farage is one of Them, on the side of the strategists of evil; should now be able to put aside those doubts.

At this point; anybody who makes an accusation of...

The result of the Rochdale election is further evidence of the hostility of the majority of English people to the ruling class (of All parties and stripes); but I would not interpret this result much...

Assuming, as always, that this is real; then it adds evidence to the general idea that - whatever its initial "rationale" - the primary aim of this war from those on the West who sustain it, has now...
