War over nothing

Robert — Thu, 28 Dec 2023 23:14:30 +0500

Ukraine mobilised reserves. Russia mobilised reserves.

Ukraine lost freedom of speech. Russia lost freedom of speech.

Ukrainians are fleeing and dying. Russians are fleeing and dying.

⁂

What’s this whole clash about, anyway? About which state will tax the land? Deeply immoral. The people own the land; let them live as they wish.

Meanwhile the warmongers keep on babbling provocatively about a wide European war against brotherly Russia.

Beautiful signals coming down

Robert — Sun, 12 Nov 2023 02:59:51 +0500

Robert:

Trump at his Nov 11 rally in Claremont, NH:

We spent about three hours together looking up at the sky and seeing some beautiful signals coming down, right?

We’ll see you back there and some place else, okay? But we had — that was a great evening *slight smile*, wasn’t that wild, sort of? It — they started off very sad and, uh, we finished the evening and it was a beautiful beautiful tribute to them.

President Xi is like Central Casting. [Provider of body doubles for entertainment]

I kept Ukraine safe. He would have never gone in. I mean, I did it thru osmosis, they were safe.

Taygeta claims confirmed? I want to believe.

Genocide in Gaza

Robert — Sat, 04 Nov 2023 20:17:33 +0500

Robert:

In less than a month of active war, Israeli strikes have killed more civilians in Gaza than have been killed in Ukraine in the last twenty. That is more than 8000 Gazans — 3000 of them beïng children. It’s collective punishment, in a nutshell. But 67% of Gazans don’t even trust Hamas.

Israel has the right to punish only the attack’s participants and masterminds. But it is now bombing areas in south Gaza which it previously designated as “safe” for evacuation!

The whole thing is a deliberate mess.

Net n’ Yahoo knew about the incoming attack but chose to stand down.
Israel helped Hamas amid its founding last century so it would weaken the Palestine Liberation Organisation by competing with it. And indeed, Hamas are doing a big disservice to Palestine’s reputation among the ill-informed.
There are many Jews in the region today only because of preplanned mass migration that began in the 19th century and displaced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. (Mass migration makes sociëties implode.)
Gaza is an open-air concentration camp: it lacks resources, is surrounded by walls, and has its sea access fettered & its skies dominated by Israel.

I pray for peace and foreign non-intervention. Ending all bloodshed is step one on humanity’s path to bliss.

The stubborn will never find a lasting solution to the conflict. But all it takes is to understand that the real god does not have any “chosen people”.

Ukraine should not enter the EU

Robert — Wed, 04 Oct 2023 12:07:23 +0500

Robert:

At least for now. Other European countries will have to pay dearly to accomodate and reconstruct the poorest member state.

But we have other priorities: cutting red tape, slashing government spending & taxes, stopping the digital euro, deregulating firearms, and abolishing family courts.

Ceasefire, now!

Robert — Sat, 30 Sep 2023 16:34:42 +0500

Robert:

Ukrainians and Russians are dying needlessly.

Arms shipments to Ukraine must stop, and Europe should negotiate with Russia & Ukraine over a new security arrangement for the whole continent.

Ceasefire, now!

Cluster bomb clusterfuck

Robert — Sat, 08 Jul 2023 01:18:23 +0500

Robert:

First uranium shells, now cluster bombs.

Toxic soil full of mines is worthless. Yet men keep being sent to their deaths! End the madness now!

Scorched-earth Ukraine

Robert — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 12:41:10 +0500

Robert:

Ukraine understands that taking over Taurida and the Donbass is farfetched, so it is applying a scorched-earth policy — “if we can’t have it, you might as well have to suffer”.

Destructive for land, infrastructure, animals, and all peoples! Evil is the only beneficiary.

The warmongering must stop

Robert — Thu, 25 May 2023 02:02:38 +0500

Robert:

Established militaries embrace war because it is their path to more power, wealth, and glory. But any war is gruesome; cold peace is always preferable.

Moreover, a little war often leads to a big war. By aiding Ukraine financially and militarily, Western countries have fallen into the most dangerous ever escalation of commitment — one that brings us closer to World War 3 and nuclear annihilation.

The only way to destroy Slavs is to pit us against each other. We must stop taking the bait.

Arms exports put Europe at risk

Robert — Sun, 07 May 2023 15:26:12 +0500

Robert:

The European Peace Facility is sending arms to Ukraine — something straight out of 1984.

By doing this, Europe is shooting itself in the foot (or, more accurately, the arm). Italy’s weapon stockpile can help it weather an inbreak for only 72 hours.

Unaccountable grey-suits are putting folk’s lives at risk. This must end.

The United States is not Europe’s ally

Robert — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 23:05:00 +0500

Robert:

The United States is not Europe’s ally, and never was.

And it does not have to be, as George Washington stated in his farewell address:

Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.

American imperialists disregarded these wise words, and took advantage of World War 2 to turn Europe into their serf. Losers Italy and Germany were given weak new constitutions. NATO was formed to “keep Americans in, Russians out, and Germans down”, as its first Secretary General put it.

The Ukraine proxy-war proves that NATO’s ideals have not changed. The German economy is now losing 2 trillion euros a year due to the lack of cheap Russian gas, while the US is cashing in on weapons sent to Ukraine and energy supplies sent to Europe. It is crazy to outsource European defence to a country that committed industrial terrorism against us, and even more so when its foreign entanglements can force us to fight on its behalf.

European states should be truly independent — free from reliance on any one political bloc. We need to abolish NATO, stop exporting weapons we need for our own defence, and end preferential treatment in foreign policy. People should be free to choose their trading partners.

Let’s make Europe great again. MEGA.

Abolish nuclear weapons

Robert — Mon, 17 Apr 2023 12:55:12 +0500

Robert:

Atlanticists are continuing their commitment to war with nuclear-capable neighbors — and nukes are no longer deterring. High tensions simply raise their likelihood of takeoff in a communications misunderstanding.

It is time to forever abolish nuclear weapons, by first bringing back Cold-War-era treaties between Russia and the US, and then following thru with an international treaty.

Space weapons and antimatter weapons should be banned too.

Uranium shells in Ukraine

Robert — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 22:58:24 +0500

Robert:

After hearing about the UK’s intent to supply Ukraine with uranium-filled shells, I first thought that it was fake-news clickbait or satire. But it is true.

Depleted or not, uranium is a toxic contaminant that causes cancers & birth defects, and which takes thousands of years to break down after dissemination. True hellraisers, these so-called strategists.

This latest decision is total proof that they do not actually care about the Ukrainians and their supposed land. The conflict is being dragged on merely to normalise permanent deprivation (and to launder money in the process).

It is a part of the 2030 agenda: toxic and infertile soil leads to less available land, which leads to less real food, and thus to having more power over the people, including the ability to push us into ~~smart~~ prison cities.

The warmongers must be stopped before they turn the already enormous suffering, destruction, and death into World War 3.

Thankful to wake up each day

Robert — Sat, 11 Mar 2023 18:25:17 +0500

Robert:

Ever since the 2022 Ukrainian escalation, the first thing that I feel every morning is gratitude for being alive and not having been wiped out by a nuke.

A pleasant feeling caused by a vile circumstance.

The Kiev circus

Robert — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 03:15:27 +0500

Robert:

The Kiev circus is one of flag-spinners, fire-breathers, knife-throwers, money-magicians, leopards, and a clown.

Zelensky and SBF did one good thing

Robert — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 21:58:08 +0500

Robert:

Zelensky and SBF are among the most despicable characters of the modern age.

But they have done one good thing for the world: normalising tees and sweaters at formal events.

The Russia-NATO double-standard

Robert — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 15:22:30 +0500

Robert:

Mainstream Western propaganda compares Putin to Hitler, claiming that he won’t stop in Ukraine and aims to head for Europe.

World (mis-)leaders parroting this narrative are either liars or delusional, dangerously so. David Sacks is correct: “a regional war turned into World War One because everyone made maximalist demands and assumed others were bluffing”.

But should we consider Russia’s westward expansion a precursor to an attack on Europe, NATO’s eastward expansion can be considered a precursor to an attack on Russia.

Fighting for independence from Russia, the modern-day Ukrainian state has become fully dependent on the West. Ceasing military aid is all it takes to end the bloodshed.

Mainstream media lies about Ukraine

Robert — Thu, 05 May 2022 17:36:31 +0500

Robert:

I’m worried that mainstream media peddling lies about Ukraine will lead to more loss of life and freedom. Julian Assange pointed out correctly that nearly every war started in the last 50 years was a result of media lies. If the media was actually anti-war, it would dedicate airtime to mention the near-daily bombings of Somalia, Yemen, and Palestine.

In 2014, the US and some of its NATO allies helped overthrow democratically-elected Ukrainian president Yanukovych, began spreading artificially-created anti-Russian sentiment, and integrated the neonazi & anti-Russian Azov Battalion into the Ukrainian National Guard. These latter madmen openly speak about desires to eat Russian children and nuke Moscow, only to be awarded by actor-president Zelensky. These were serious threats, as Ukraine had labs and sites developing all sorts of weapons, including viruses targeting certain ethnic groups.

NATO undermines national sovereignty, and it must be dissolved. Italy should cancel the 11th article of its constitution, strengthen its military, and close foreign bases on its soil.

Many American congressmen will send weapons anywhere but their own backyards if it means profiting from military-industry stocks and lobbyists. Eurosoviet Union president Ursula von der Leyen has recently stated “Ukraine belongs to us”. Other politicians use the current situation to deflect responsibility for their failures at home, and to enact icky legislation after making people panic.

Tyrants cancel the debate when they cannot win it. Banning media outlets and imprisoning people for dissent is disgraceful. Fake news is best suppressed by spreading truth and being transparent. Words are not violence.

There is no such thing as collective responsibility. Only certain people are responsible for certain actions. Society is not responsible for government crimes; the victim is not the aggressor. Oligarchs will bypass sanctions placed on them at the expense of regular people.

This is only a smol part of the full story. Keep your head when all around are losing theirs.

Wednesday, May 20

From President Zelensky’s NYT op-ed: “Ukraine remains a good partner and friend of the United States. We received the military assistance we needed to continue to ensure our country’s independence.”

Independence, you say? Needing something = being dependent on that something’s provider.

Europe diagram, Brexit edition

Robert — Sat, 01 Feb 2020 01:01:37 +0500

Robert:

As the UK is about to leave the EU, I have updated my European diagram to reflect the new situation. I also added the Council of Europe for good measure.

Oh, and there’s a version in French as well:
