Pepe Escobar – Strategic Review April 8, 2022
By now it’s abundantly clear that the neo-Orwellian “Two Minute Hate” Russophobic campaign launched by the Empire of Lies after the start of Operation Z is actually “24/7 Hate”.
Vast swathes of NATOstan have been corralled into behaving like a Russophobic lynch mob. No dissent is tolerated. The full psyops has de facto upgraded the Empire of Lies to the status of Empire of Hate in a Total War – hybrid and otherwise – to cancel Russia.
Hate, after all, packs way more punch than mere lies, which are now veering into abject ridiculousness, as in U.S. “intelligence” resorting to – what else – lies to fight the info war against Russia.
If the propaganda overdrive has been lethally effective amidst the zombified Western masses – call it a “win” in the P.R. war – in the front where it really matters, inside Russia, it’s a major fail.
Public opinion support for both Operation Z and President Putin is unprecedented. After videos of torture of Russian POWs that caused widespread revulsion, Russian civil society is even bracing for a “Long War” lasting months, not weeks, as long as the targets of the Russian High Command – actually a military secret – are met.
The stated aims are “demilitarization” and “denazification” of a future neutral Ukraine – but geopolitically reach way beyond: the aim is to turn the post-1945 European collective security arrangement upside down, forcing NATO to understand and come to terms with the concept of “indivisible security”. This is an extremely complex process that will reach the next decade.
The NATOstan sphere simply cannot admit in public a series of facts that a military analyst of the caliber of Andrei Martyanov has been explaining for years. And that adds to their collective pain.
Russia can take on NATO and smash it to bits in 48 hours. It may employ advanced strategic deterrence systems unmatched across the West. Its southern axis – from the Caucasus and West Asia to Central Asia – is fully stabilized. And if the going gets really tough, Mr. Zircon can deliver his hypersonic nuclear business card with the other side not even knowing what hit it.
“Europe has chosen its fate”
It may be enlightening to see how these complex processes are interpreted by Russians – whose points of view are now completely blocked across NATOstan.
Let’s take two examples. The first is Lieutenant General L.P. Reshetnikov, in an analytical note examining facts of the ground war.
Some key takeaways:
– “Over Romania and Poland there are airborne early warning aircraft of NATO with experienced crews, there are U.S. intelligence satellites in the sky all the time. I remind you that just in terms of budgets for our Roscosmos we allocated $2.5 billion a year, the civil budget of NASA is $25 billion, the civil budget of SpaceX alone is equal to Roscosmos – and that is not counting the tens of billions of dollars annually for the entire U.S. feverishly unfolding the control system of the entire planet.”
– The war is unfolding according to “NATO’s eyes and brains. The Ukronazis are nothing but free controlled zombies. And the Ukrainian army is a remotely controlled zombie organism.”
– “The tactics and strategy of this war will be the subject of textbooks for military academies around the world. Once again: the Russian army is smashing a Nazi zombie organism, fully integrated with the eyes and brain of NATO.”
Now let’s switch to Oleg Makarenko, who focuses on the Big Picture.
– “The West considers itself ‘the whole world’ only because it has not yet received a sufficiently sensitive punch on the nose. It just so happened that Russia is now giving him this click: with the rear support of Asia, Africa and Latin America. And the West can do absolutely nothing with us, since it also lags behind us in terms of the number of nuclear warheads.”
– “Europe has chosen its fate. And chose fate for Russia. What you are seeing now is the death of Europe. Even if it does not come to nuclear strikes on industrial centers, Europe is doomed. In a situation where European industry is left without cheap Russian energy sources and raw materials – and China will begin to receive these same energy carriers and raw materials at a discount, there can be no talk of any real competition with China from Europe. As a result, literally everything will collapse there – after industry, agriculture will collapse, welfare and social security will collapse, hunger, banditry and chaos will begin.”
It’s fair to consider Reshetnikov and Makarenko as faithfully representing the overall Russian sentiment, which interprets the crude Bucha false flag as a cover to obscure the Ukrainian army torture of Russian POWs.
And, deeper still, Bucha allowed the disappearance of Pentagon bioweapon labs from the Western mediasphere, complete with its ramifications: evidence of a concerted American drive to ultimately deploy real weapons of mass destruction against Russia.
The multi-level Bucha hoax had to include the Brit presidency of the UN Security Council actually blocking a serious discussion, a day before the Russian Ministry of Defense struggled to present to the UN – predictably minus the U.S. and the UK – all the bioweapon facts they have unearthed in Ukraine. The Chinese were horrified by the findings.
The Russian Investigative Committee at least persists in its work, with 100 researchers unearthing evidence of war crimes across Donbass to be presented at a tribunal in the near future, most probably set up in Donetsk.
And that brings us back to the facts on the ground. There’s a lot of analytical discussion on the possible endgame of Operation Z. A fair assessment would include the liberation of all of Novorossiya and total control of the Black Sea coastline that currently is part of Ukraine.
“Ukraine” in fact was never a state; it was always an annex to another state or empire such as Poland, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, and crucially Russia.
The landmark Russian state was Kievan Rus. “Ukraine”, in old Russian, means “border region”. In the past, it referred to the westernmost regions of the Russian Empire. When the Empire started expanding south, the new regions annexed mostly from Turkish rule were called Novorossiya (“New Russia”) and the northeastern regions, Malorossiya (“Little Russia”).
It was up to the USSR in the early 1920s to jumble it all together and name it “Ukraine” – adding Galicia in the west, which was historically non-Russian.
Yet the key development is when the USSR broke up in 1991. As the Empire of Lies de facto controlled post-Soviet Russia, they could never have possibly allowed the real Russian regions of the USSR – that is, Novorossiya and Malorossiya – to be again incorporated to the Russian Federation
Russia is now re-incorporating them – in an “I Did It, My Way” manner.
Vamos a bailar in European Puerto Rico
By now it’s also quite clear to any serious geopolitical analysis that Operation Z opened a Pandora’s box. And the supreme historical victim of all the toxicity finally let loose is bound to be Europe.
The indispensable Michael Hudson, in a new essay on the U.S. dollar devouring the euro, argues half in jest that Europe might as well surrender its currency, and go on like “a somewhat larger version of Puerto Rico.”
After all, Europe “has pretty much ceased to be a politically independent state, it is beginning to look more like Panama and Liberia – ‘flag of convenience’ offshore banking centers that are not real ‘states’ because they don’t issue their own currency, but use the U.S. dollar.”
In synch with quite a few Russian, Chinese and Iranian analysts, Hudson advances that the war in Ukraine – actually in its “full-blown version as the New Cold War” – is likely to last “at least a decade, perhaps two as the U.S. extends the fight between neoliberalism and socialism [meaning the Chinese system] to encompass a worldwide conflict.”
What may be seriously in dispute is whether the U.S., after “the economic conquest of Europe”, will be able to “lock in African, South American and Asian countries”. The Eurasia integration process, rolling in earnest for 10 years now, conducted by the Russia-China strategic partnership and expanding to most of the Global South, will go no holds barred to prevent it.
There’s no question, as Hudson states, that “the world economy is being enflamed” – with the U.S. weaponizing trade. Yet on the Right Side of History we have the Rublegas, the petroyuan, the new monetary/financial system being designed in a partnership between the Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU) and China.
And that’s something no puny Cancel Culture War can erase.

Too right. Russia is the boss. Putin took over from Boris Yeltsin, the alcoholic Western puppet president who had just replaced Gorbachev.
Putin had inherited a broken country that was barely recovering from decades of Communism and corruption.
Putin sorted out the mess gradually with excellent socio-economic policies. Now Russia’s GDP and quality of life is first class.
Putin did all this without IMF loans and slavery to Western intervention. This makes the West and NATO really green with envy and jealousy.
Now the West talks about how they’ll hunt down Putin’s two daughters from his first marriage and then impose personal sanctions on them.
They murdered Gaddafi by shoving a military grade sharp sword (bayonet) up his backside into his stomach and then shot him in the head when he was crying in pain.
Gaddafi’s murder was filmed and played all over Western media outlets and celebrated by jubilant bloodthirsty Western leaders and their public alike.
Now the West wants to personally sanction Putin’s daughters? How low can Biden, Johnson and Macron go? The Jezebel spirit has truly and completely taken over the West.
If the West, NATO, Macron, Johnson and Biden are so macho, why don’t they confront Putin directly instead of hiding under Ukraine’s skirt while barking all sorts of unpleasantness at Russia?
https://youtu.be/OY7nt2dRxXI
Although the first 25 minutes of this news video cover the issues in Pakistan’s goverment, the last 15 minutes or so cover Putin and the proposed Western sanctions on him personally and his daughters.
It’s very informative.
This article is about 3 weeks to late.
Russia is fighting for its sovereignty and its right to socially and economically exist in the world as we once knew it before the NWO started imposing illegal sanctions.
The NWO, NATO, US and UK are fighting to hold a position (UK&US) that they’ve held for over 400yrs, so this is a fight to the death. As the article belatedly states. This is a fight to the end, be that by collapse, through economic or social collapse, or through war, and likely nuclear war.
And there are other layers to this. The Earth’s magnetic field is collapsing, we are already in the midst of a major extinction event which humans only hold a scant responsibility for. The poles are racing to their new pole flip locations, on the present equator, which should happen in the 2030s or 2040s, and whenever this happens, the Sun will micronova. The Earth stops spinning, stops for a period and then counter spins. The micronova is expected to burn the surface. When the rotation stops, the oceans keep going, a staggering deluge takes place and most life is lost, this is the real great reset.
Now, the bug powers know all about this, and they are posturing about being the major power and culture in the post nova world. I don’t expect humanity to get back on its feet in the first few hundred years, that’s my view.
We know some humans survive, because we are here, they left a very detailed history of what happens during these cataclysmics 12k cycles, because that is what it is, a 12,000 year clockwork cycle.
The next point, is that we are literally losing our minds. As the M-field collapses, its about – 25% and falling, more and more solar and cosmic particles enter the atmosphere, especially at the poles. These particles are factually known to affect heart health and risk, same with strokes, and mental health. This is why we have an epidemic of mental health problems, more so in the young, because they’ve been developing through the main part of thr M-field weakening, but there’s no doubt that mental illness affects all, including our leaders.
So taking all of this into account, they might be prepared to have a nuclear war, or a mass cull, but I think the cull thing is a NWO eugenics thing.
According to the fake news, Finland will seek to join NATO, so that’s another war, or maybe Russia could hit Helsinki, or just nuke the Finnish interior, the land inside the 800km border, so that NATO forces can’t. Put systems there.
The micronova tells us why the West doesn’t give a crap about their staggering debts. How can we see the Northern Lights in Devon England, because the M-field is collapsing.
New age claptrap

My friends father was a senior man in the intel world when war broke out in 1939
The bosses of the intel said Hitler was no threat to the UK but only to Russia our enemy since 1917
We should not have gone against Hitler
but waited until the war ended and gone after the winner
He had many photos of the holocaust being faked up
and wrote a book with it all in in the mid 60s
men in black arrived tipped the house upside down and took away all the manuscripts and photos
he had left some with a cousin and re wrote the book
again the publishers were raided and his own home and everything taken
he always said beliove nothing you read or hear about w w 2 and its all fake
I think this ukranie business is the same justa bunch of lies for jews
“The Guardian! The Independent! The Times! They ALL agree that Putin is a mass-murdering war-criminal! And the BBC -which by Law has to tell the TRUTH! – has come out and said so!!
Where’s your backbone? Even that lovely on page 3 of The Sun is wearing a Ukrainian flag bikini!!!
What more encouragement could you possibly want that annihilating Russia is the ONLY option!!!!”
– Absolutely THICK F’king Brit
Well …after over one hundred years of Yankee aggression the Euro-peons still haven’t worked it out… that uncle Schlomo wants them all dead or enslaved to their insane ideology..
it’s also pertinent to note that as Ezra Pound sagely stated.. “democracy means a country run by ‘jews’….”
So when you cast the beadies around your once great countries and think you have arrived on the wrong continent… by mistake…
That will be the ‘jewish’ middle management occupation governments doing..
Is Satan’s world ready for a little Russian truth?
Let’s hope the government of Russia is resisting the god of this world.
It might inspire a few other governments around the world to do the same?
To Carl Jones–you sound sensible and then get into Pole flips and micronovas, which are textbook fearmongering and completely irrelevant. Even the words are terrible; a small supernova would be a nova, and NO-ONE knows when this is due for the sun, if ever.
haha Akon, you was doing ok until the crap about the earth gunna stop spinning hahaha,,,EARTH is not and does not spin…ask A REAL TRUTHER OR BETTER STILL read GODs word,, the earth is still and we are not held down by gravity, TRY electro magnetism, the moon is not a solid object, btw flat earth was well known until 500 yrs ago..i cant be bothered 2 go on. DO UR HOME WORK. AND READ ANY BIBLE the Lord placed the earth on 4 cornerstones with pillars and separated the waters of space from the waters of earth by placing a FIRMINMENT over earth,,global warming ha ha yer rite its colder 2day than last week and this is spring and my gas heating is on,, wake up and start again, everything you think you know is a LIE
the analysis of the West is spot on certainly for Britain, travel anywhere and you will see urban decay and social breakdown. Some people have called out the thick Brits but most of the populace of the West are thick. I saw an American FB page and thousands were whooping it up over some lunatics in Ukraine forgetting their led by a demented old fool who soils his pants and states like California have gone Marxist. The cycle of history has stopped at the West its now our turn to go down the garbage chute. This isn’t doom and gloom, this is facing reality.
@Peter Petherington.
You nailed it, also,
Did you notice Vettels helmet in his return to the F1 race in Melbourne this aft’ !
(after dutifully doing his Ocky-Coky stint)
A white helmet, with a blue & Yellow strip,
This from the guy who said he wouldn’t have gone to the Sochi GP, was heavily supportive of BLM, & is adorned with rainbow colours,
Yet, UBI seems to be literally “Just around the corner”, & the sickening realization, that nigh on what seems to be just about everyone, couldn’t care less ?
To Rob–maybe you are Black but you don’t have to be, as Flat Earth belief since 2014 or so is flushing a lot of our own cretins out of the pipes, and are a source of income for FTFE. The Bible was written by people who knew what assertions they could get away with, not by scientists, and Foucault’s Pendulum experiments done all over the world tell you the rate of rotation and your own latitudinal position, if you were interested. We listen to Flat Earthers only to find out more about defective human brains and see what we are sharing the same space with, to our dismay.
Boris Johnston prime minister ?
dont make me laugh
its said he worships churchill
a drunken old fool who would shit his pants while drunk so his secretariy john colvile had giant quick release baby grows, so he could get straight into the bath when he shit him self
he would often see visitors while in the bath
he would send out secretaries in the blackout to bring him a barnados boy
he never liked women
a more useless bum you could not imagine, and boris worships him
Lewis Jones: they used to think Supernova destroyed the star. They now know that stars do indeed survive what is called a supernova.
If a star 200 lightyears away, were to supernova, the Earth would be a gonner. Sure, the blast would take around 600 years to reach us, but we would see it in 200 years.
Tracking nova is avery new field. They have seen many stars nova, and they repeat nova at different time spans, so some stars that have novaed once, might next nova in 50,000yrs, so we won’t know if it’s a repeater.
From hard scientifically analysis, they’ve seen the signs of a nova, but it can’t be a distant nova, because the Earth survived. Given the proximity of stars near and far, the only logical confusion is that our Sun has a very dark habit. It novas every 12k.
In Norway, they found ancient trees with no growth rings, this proves that Noway was on the equator at some point. They also know that Norway’s basic geology is sound, hence the location of a seed bank buried deep in Norwegian rock.
Given the many ancient histories of cataclysm and great flood, these stories te ll what happened when the Earth stood still, and rolled over through 90°, not a 180° flip, but a 90° roll over.
We call it a micronova, because that is the best discriptive word we have, maybe you could call it a super flare, it doesn’t really matter.
You call it fear mongering… I’m not fearful, I don’t see the fake news telling this ‘theory’?
Even Einstein worked on part of the problem, crust displacement theory, but he failed. The big deep bases under US midwest mountains, they aren’t military bases, they are nova survival bunkers, but they won’t work. Even Ellon Musk is building a nova survival bunker near his Space X launch site.
You say fear mongering, that’s anthropogenic climate change, a cover for the nova.

Just watch the speech from the first minute of this video & now you’ll know why ZOG (Operation Z) got the Russian Commies to invade Ukraine–to kill Aryans & eliminate the growing pro-white nationalistic movement there:

Figure it out..
@ Carl Jones – I’m anxious for the world to stop spinning , so I can get off.
@ Rob – right on brother . But I warn you . A lot of flat earth deniers / baller trolls in the comments , with Lewis Jones leading the charge. I think he cuddles with a desk globe next to him in bed every night.
I realy enjoy western supidness + political
idioty . ground requirement for coming ruin !
HEAVEN MAY RAIN REWARD TO THIS
STUPIDNESS ! EVIL FOLK HAS TO PERISH !
The west is so desperate to get some of their people out of the steelworks in Mariupol it makes me wonder if it’s not just who they are but what they may have with them. A false-flag dirty bomb? A mini nuke?
I thought antiseptic had gone but he is “antivax” now. To Carl Jones–thanks for the details, but at all levels in the Scum hierarchy there are fairy tales being told to motivate people, and I do not respect much of the science you gave. Hapgood tried to get his crustal displacement idea accepted and I quite liked it, but in his idea you need an asymmetrical ice cap at Antarctica to get it out of kilter while ours is nearly round.
Russia is Back, and so is History
April 9, 2022/29 –/by Richard McCulloch
Interesting article
“Unfortunately for pro-Whites, the return of Russia and history includes the return of the external distraction from the far greater internal threats to our racial independence and survival. Indeed, that external distraction has also returned with a vengeance, serving the interests of the anti-White forces so well that one could almost suspect they wanted and intended this to happen….”

“Brits… too f’king THICK to *survive?” Discuss.
(*It is – PERHAPS! – no coincidence that Deagel.com projected a REDUCTION in the wilfully ignorant THICK Brit population by 75% – from today’s 68million to 17 million – by 2025).
@ MAD MC
you can be sure that israeli criminals
also are involved with mininukes as
i already mentioned beirut,fukushima,
bali,mogadishu,yemen etc etc .
israeli specialists of false flag terror !

Question….what is Boris Johnstein doing in Kiev.The risks don’t seem worth it.
It MIGHT be to avoid monitoring by MI6??.
Johnstein has gone “off station a few times in recent years (on Mustique in the Caribbean and also on Majorca where he was provided free accommodation by a rich jew)
Johnstein is a treacherous low life and the truth about him is gradually emerging.
Incidently the father in law of Dorkland Beckheim owns Wendy’s Burger chain.Obviously boycott it,not that it would make much difference.
The thing that strikes you about this wedding is a monumental GREED of these Jews.
Meantime surrounded by minimum wage servants waiting on them hand and foot.
And of course there is the chubby little oaf Dorklyn Beckheim who has barely two braincells to rub together.
Were it not for his parents he would be working in a Wendy’s cooking up burgers.
If another depression hits these Beckheims will be boarding a plane to America….First stop Miami….
The MAD woke leader of NZ Jacinda Ardern has just stated she is sending 50 troops to Poland to help with refugees.Well that’s what the Zio-Freak says….most likely some of them will be crossing the border into Ukraine….but that is none of NZers business.
This is how the Jews are inching the West into YET ANOTHER MASSIVE CONFLICT IN EUROPE.
This time around the Jews involvement is far more clear cut.
Boris Johnson is VERY DEFINITELY A JEW….as is his deputy Ruud.Macron is a Marrano Catholic without a doubt and most of all the leader of Ukraine Zekenski…..!!.
So NZ was involved in the pointless war in Afghanistan FOR NOTHING….except it has enabled the Jews to continue their multiculturalism programme in NZ.
No soon than we’re out of Afghanistan and lo and behold NZ is engaged in another war….THIS IS THANKS TO ARDERNS WORKING FOR BLAIR IN LONDON…..she is their “agent” in NZ….make no mistake about that.
The crazy bitch is seriously MAD and thinks she is so much better than ordinary NZers…..she is a liability to NZers way of life….attacking NZers way of doing things on all fronts.
This is what you get with ideologues…..
NZ SHOULD ONLY BE INVOLVED IN HUMANITARIAN ISSUES if it is to be involved at all.
Elite Jews in NZ exercise considerable influence and power in Australia and NZ…..Thus in WW1 a General Monash was in charge of Australian troops involved in the expulsion of Palestinians from Palestine.Monash was a jew.
No one asks what the hell was Australia doing in this part of the world anyway.
1948 and the establishment of Israel answers that question…
Post the outbreak of ww3….you could reasonably suggest Israel’s territory will expand further according to the Greater Israel Plan.
They will steal territory from Lebanon and Syria…..while pretending THEY are victims of aggression….that’s their M.O.
@ Ted
What you say about Monash is rather intriguing. I hadn’t heard of his name until very recently but it was not in reference to the man’s life that I made the mental note of it but as the given name of a university in Queensland, Australia. Melbourne?
In a brief comment about the Australian-born, New Zealand-based historian, David Stahel, I suggested that his highly critical analyses of Hitler’s war strategems, might derive, in part from ethnic bias (I was being generous) and that furthermore, his academic credentials were rather lowly, having graduated from the obscure Monash University.
Knowing now, by your efforts, whom the historical Monash was, further nuancing is afforded. Do you know anything about Monash University? I’d be interested to know if you did. I presume the University was founded relatively recently? Is it tied to Israel? (More difficult question) is it a spook school? Any feedback at all would be appreciated, dear fellow.
(I did not mean FTFE was colluding with Flat Earthers, just that he monetises his videos exposing them).
Above….”Ruud” should of course be Raab….as in Rabbi.
@ chesterton
Irrelevancy interlude ahoy: I missed your wonderfully dry riposte at the “Kira Rudik” article. The only bit that would be true, however, is the larger than average nose. I can’t even remember the last time I cried.
One thing, though, we of the Neanderthalis, do not accept fiat currency, as a betting stake nor for any type of payment elsewith. Now, if you had some healthy livestock to bargain…or women…or whisky?
