Wrecked Ukrainian tanks and armoured vehicles
Larry Johnson – Son of a New American Revolution Nov 18, 2023
This week’s “No Shit Analysis” award goes to Eugene B. Rumer for his Wall Street Journal op-ed, It’s Time to End Magical Thinking About Russia’s Defeat. Only took him 22 months to figure this out. He may be a slow learner but give him some credit, he finally awakened from his dream world and is beginning to grasp that the Ukraine project is swirling down the toilet.
Eugene B. Rumer is a Senior Fellow at the Institute for National Strategic Studies, National Defense University, Washington DC. Previously, he served at the State Department, on the staff of the National Security Council and at RAND.
Despite his pedigree, he is struggling to acknowledge reality and still feels the need to spin nonsense. Here is an example:
Putin has reason to believe that time is on his side. At the front line, there are no indications that Russia is losing what has become a war of attrition. The Russian economy has been buffeted, but it is not in tatters. Putin’s hold on power was, paradoxically, strengthened following Yevgeny Prigozhin’s failed rebellion in June. Popular support for the war remains solid, and elite backing for Putin has not fractured.
Yep. Russia’s economy is so battered that it is headed toward 4% growth, its defense industry is out producing Europe and the United States combined, it is manufacturing new, more deadly drones and the stores across Russia are filled to the brim. If that is “battered” give me some.
Poor Rumer just cannot admit that Russia is winning, which is why he opts for the awkward phrase, “no indications that Russia is losing.” Nope. Just the opposite. Plenty of indications Russia is winning. Moscow’s air defense system has thwarted Ukraine’s multiple, feckless attempts to inflict serious damage on Russian military assets and the Russian Army is in the process of carving up Ukrainian defenders trying to hang on to Avdeeka.
Rumer does enjoy a moment of clarity in this paragraph:
Putin can also look at his foreign-policy record with satisfaction. His investments in key relationships have paid off. China and India have provided an important backstop for the Russian economy by ramping up imports of Russian oil and other commodities. Instead of fretting about lost markets in Western Europe or Beijing’s reluctance to flout U.S. and EU sanctions, Putin has decided that it’s more advantageous in the short term simply to become China’s junior partner in the economic realm. Goods from China account for nearly 50% of Russian imports, and Russia’s top energy companies are now hooked on selling to China.
The West’s plan to topple Putin and carve up Russia is in tatters. And Rumer grudgingly admits that:
Putin does not feel any pressure to end the war or worry about his ability to sustain it more or less indefinitely. As winter approaches, the Russian army has mounted a limited ground offensive of its own and surely will expand missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities, power plants, industrial sites and other critical infrastructure.
Just like Wylie Coyote, licking his wounds after another failed attempt to trap the Road Runner, Rumer frantically pages through his ACME plans book for a solution to deal with that dastardly Putin. His solution? Containment!!
But now is the time to transition to a long-term strategy that increases and sustains the pressure on the rogue regime in the Kremlin. There should be no illusions that any possible combination of short-term steps will be sufficient to force Putin to abandon his war.
What Western leaders conspicuously haven’t done is level with their publics about the enduring nature of the threat from an emboldened, revisionist Russia. They have indulged all too often in magical thinking—betting on sanctions, a successful Ukrainian counter-offensive or the transfer of new types of weapons to force the Kremlin to come to the negotiating table. Or they have hoped to see Putin overthrown in a palace coup.
Poor Eugene. He certainly is not an original nor deep thinker. He recommends the following course of action:
A policy of containment today would mean continuing Western sanctions, isolating Russia diplomatically, preventing the Kremlin from interfering in our own domestic politics, and strengthening NATO deterrence and defense capabilities, including sustained U.S.-European reinvestment in our defense-industrial base. It would also mean mitigating all of the damage—diplomatic, informational, military and economic—caused by Putin’s war.
This article is example of schizophrenia by a member of the foreign policy brahmin class. Even though he admitted earlier in his article that Putin’s foreign policy is winning many friends, not only with China, but with the Global South countries, Rumer still clings to the fantasy that the West can “isolate” Russia. I suppose he is manifesting the definition of insanity — doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different outcome.
Rumer is a prime example of the bullshit that infects the foreign policy gurus of Washington when he writes:
Putin’s Russia has little of the hard power or ideological appeal that made the Soviet Union so influential in various parts of the world.
What? Russia has deployed more capable, advanced nuclear submarines than the Soviet Union ever had. Russia has fielded two hypersonic missiles while the United States is still floundering trying to produce one. Russia’s air defense systems surpass anything the West can offer. Russia is the only major industrial nation that is self-sufficient with energy and rare earth minerals. And Russia is now producing its own fleets of commercial air liners. Oh yeah, almost forgot. Russia’s space program is better and more robust than that of the United States.
I would love to see a survey of foreign dignitaries that asks them, which subway systems would you ride on after 10pm — New York’s or Moscow’s? There was a time when Western economic achievements towered over those of the Soviets, but Russia ain’t the Soviet Union. Also worth noting that the Chinese did not have to ask Putin to clean up human feces from the streets of Moscow before they sent Xi for a sit down with Vladimir. Nope. That was San Francisco.
Rumer and his ilk are still locked into a Kissinger doctrine that asserts the only way the United States can be the top dog is to play off Russia against China. Good luck with that. These guys still refuse to recognize the the U.S. controlled “Rules Based Order,” created in the aftermath of World War II is dying. A new geo-political reality is emerging and there is no guarantee that the United States will be able to pretend to be the Colossus it thinks it is.
The United States political class is locked into a self-defeating delusion that Russia is still a communist state bent on World Domination. Any politician who suggests the alternative, i.e. that we need to deal with Russia as an equal and that we should stop treating Putin and his government as an enemy, will be tarred immediately as a Putin apologist and ostracized. Here is the hard truth — the political elite in both parties are using Russia as an excuse to engage in the same practices that were the cornerstone of Soviet policies during the Cold War. It is the United States that is locking up political dissidents. It is the United States Government that is collaborating with social media companies to quash dissent against the ruling class.
It is not the fault of Russia that black kids in inner city schools are “graduating” from high school without being able to read or do algebra. It is not Russia’s fault that America’s southern border is wide open and being swarmed by millions of illegal migrants. It is not Russia’s fault that many of America’s largest cities are ravaged with narcotics addiction, violence and criminal activity. Look in the mirror America. Clean up your act. Then, maybe, you will have the moral authority to lecture other nations on human rights and freedom. But America, as it stands now, is a fractured country and shows no sign of righting itself.
I like Larry a lot for someone who’s ex intel, you never really leave, and gets great insight from his former employers, and you can believe what he says, because above Larry and others, are gatekeepers, and they make sure the White House gets the shiney sanitised version of reality.
What does annoy me is this continued framing that it’s between ‘UKraine and Russia’. This is a huge untruth.
There are only two possible ways for the NWO Satanic Nazi NATO to take on Russia. One is a straight out direct war that quickly leads to a nuclear war. If you think a limited nuke exchange is possible, then you’re a fool. The next option is what we’ve seen in UKraine. Where a NATO trained, armed, tactically briefed UKrainian military with half a million men against the initial 120,000 Russians, got beat really bad, and over the last two years, there’s been 3 UKrainian armies, and Russia has beaten them all, even with 140k of mercenaries, untold numbers of NATO troops in UKrainian Nazi uniforms, SAS terrorist tricks, and a monumental propaganda machine that Hitler would’ve been proud of, and yet, Russia is a very clear winner, and they’ve done this with the resolve to limit Russian and civilian losses.
The New Free World stands in awe of Putin and Russia, to have slain the great Satan, and still has nukes and many other very fancy weapons to chuck the Nazi way.
Assuming there’s time before a big CME or micronova, how long do you think it’s going to take before NATO has licked its wounds, assuming it doesn’t die from them? My guess, 15 to 20 yrs, so no, they don’t have the time, but they’re trying in the ME, and maybe China, but essentially, it’s over for the bankrupt Nazi West.
One could go into detail and cover the geopolitical nuances, such as the energy and resources are mostly in the New Free World. Or the fact they don’t want a hegemonic currency, because they genuinely want a fair NFW trading system.
The deck is so stacked against the Nazis, they might do something stupid. Bankrupt do stupid things.

THINKING OF VOTING LABOUR ?
Tom Driberg was a leading Labour MP and communist activist, and Harold Wilson was narrowly chosen over both him and Lord George Brown to lead the Labour Party.
On many occasions the House of Commons would grind to a halt as stewards would rush out to search public lavatories for Tom Driberg as he was a voracious homosexual.
Masquerading as a christian he was part of the Sir Anthony Blunt/Greville Janner gang of boy abusers, this gang consisted of Clement Freud the Kray twins Leon Britten the amazing James Randi (Randall Zwingli) Peter Wyngarde Guy Burgess and other high profile jews.
These men would abuse boys in leicestershire care homes and Barnados homes on a regular basis.
When his name was called in the house of Commons and he was not there, guffaws of laughter would break out and you would hear the homosexual anthem being sung
“Little boys are cheap today cheaper than yesterday
small boys are half a crown, standing up or lying down
Bigger ones for bigger dicks Biggest ones for three-and-six
Get yours before their gone Come now try one
sodomise them all today
New Labour under Tony Blair D noticed Operation Ore the international investigating into online pedophilia and the Nene report which looked into massive homosexual abuse in 16 London care homes, as both named members of his cabinet
3 New labour cabinet ministers Patricia Hewitt Harriet Harman and Margaret Hodge childrens minister supported Peter Tatchells from PIE
( Pedophile Information Exchange) becoming an MP and changing the law to abolish the age of consent for small boys.
Gay parades homosexual marches and displays in schools were all funded by New labour
Peter Mandelson a known boy abuser was made director of the NSPCC, and the jewsess Ester Rantzen put in charrge of childline.
Experts say first incest was downgraded to a non crime, then homosexuality legalised next comes the abuse of kids being made an
” alternative sexuality”
I was wondering when the shekel was gonna drop on the “Chosen” Fcktards! 🙄
Which ever reference point you care to use to find the death of empires it’s clear the West is finished, hubris and greed has died on the Ukrainian battle field. How fitting that the demonic cranks of the Tudor court who first started this vision of a corporate empire with the Muscovy Corporation should see it destroyed by Russia. The enemy of my enemy is my friend it’s clear we don’t have the balls of the Palestinians so our overseers will have to be destroyed from without , the author of a history book I recently read wrote that the Huns and other such had without a doubt had been aided by the peoples of the Roman Empire. More and more people are waking up the pitchforks and guillotines may not be coming out yet but ULEZ cameras hitting the dirt is a start.
Some said Ukraine was begging of WW3 but the comparison seems fit with the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). Hitler and Stalin were able to probe what would a direct war between both powers looks like. They were able to test new weapons & tactics, Germans could test their new air force unit, the Condor Legion. Back then Franco, the side supported by Hitler, ended up victorious in the Spanish fratricidal conflict. By analogy Russia would lose at the end this time?
Ukraine is a millstone around Uncle Sam’s neck. There is a big fight going on in the House to reign in Biden’s out of control spending, it is not going away, the national debt is jumping a trillion a pop every 6 months now, and the interest on the debt just zoomed past a trillion a year, and over half of the Treasury debt has to be refinanced at higher rates in the next 12 monts.
HO LEE FUKKK BATMAN
And now Israel has got their war and paws in the Neocohen slush fund. That means Zelensky is up shit creek without a paddle.
The Ukraine project funding will taper off while Ukraine has run out of toy soldiers to throw at the front line – with Russia dug in deep and military production amped into high gear. Thus attacking fortifide positions is nothing but suicide charges.
The new speaker of the house is a Christian Zionist. He will fund Israel and not give a shit about Jewkraine. Russia has hundreds of miles of front, and is adding supplies everyday, while Ukraine is scraping the cupboard looking for any scraps.
Europe’s demon witch Ursula von der Lyen is eyeing that stolen $300 billion form Russia’s oil trading accounts, to bail out the failed socialist states of the EU. Like idiots, the EU went along with the sabotage of Nordstream and are now screwed.
EU doesn’t give a flying frog’s ass about Ukraine, just lip service to their Jewish masters. It is very clear these political snakes are playing both sides.The USA Hellery Cliton and Jewess Victoria Nulander dreams of Maiden Revolution is over. Just a big bloody mess.
And the EU is going to cut and run, I guarantee it. It is every man for himself.
The war in Ukraine is simply a coordinated setup between the two Commie Lubavitch agents (Putin/Zelensky) to destroy white Ukrainian society/culture, export their girls/women to ni**er nations & Jewish pedophilic ghouls, while liquidating the white males in war. Russia has a government agency headed by some Jew (Boris Spiegel) called ‘World Without Nazism’–which funds Antifa & whose purpose is to make sure white nationalists/fascists never obtain political power anywhere in the world–so ZOG started this war to liquidate Ukrainian fascists/nationalists.

Incisive analysis mate..makes the most sense
No sweat! The entire old Jewish order is going to be destroyed, lock stock and barrel!
A year from now everyone left will be trying to rat out each other to the Real Big Brother, Yahwey!
Psalm 49
16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
