We’re all hoping Russia has a plan here.

They knew when they let Alexi Navalny back in the country, that this would trigger a series of events that would lead to being ultimately totally cut off from the West, in a total Cold War situation. So surely, they must have some kind of plan.

The Guardian:

Germany, Poland and Sweden have each expelled a Russian diplomat in a coordinated act of retaliation over the expulsion of three EU officials by Moscow while the bloc’s foreign policy chief was visiting last week.

The tit-for-tat expulsions on Monday underscored the volatility in east-west relations and an erosion of trust among former cold war foes, as the west accuses Moscow of trying to destabilise it and the Kremlin rejects what it sees as foreign interference.

The EU executive defended Josep Borrell over his trip to Russia where he said he had learned of the initial expulsions via social media while speaking with the Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, on Friday.

The Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, said on Monday the removal of diplomats from Germany, Poland and Sweden, who were accused by Moscow of taking part in protests last month against the imprisonment of the Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, took place a day before Borrell’s trip.

Germany’s foreign office, in a statement regarding its ejection of a Russian diplomat, said the German official booted out by Moscow was only “carrying out his task of reporting on developments on the spot in a legal fashion”.

Poland’s foreign ministry said it ordered a member of Russia’s consulate in the city of Poznan to leave “in accordance with the principle of reciprocity and in coordination with Germany and Sweden”.

The Swedish foreign minister, Ann Linde, said Stockholm’s action was a “clear response to the unacceptable decision to expel a Swedish diplomat who was only performing his duties”.

Imagine claiming that protesting to overthrow the government is the job of someone who works at an embassy.

But hey – it’s not any weirder than anything else that’s happening! After all, nothing is weirder than a child tranny!

We’ve been on the fast train to Crazy Town for years now, so saying “that’s outrageous!” has actually become pointless and redundant. If it wasn’t outrageous, it wouldn’t have happened in current year.

But yes, traditionally, by pre-2015 norms, embassy staff showing up to a protest to overthrow the government would be considered total grounds for expulsion, and would probably be considered an act of war. Imagine if the staff of the Russian Embassy had shown up at the Capitol Storm to provide support for protesters. You know how the media/government would react. I mean. Come on.

But yeah.

Whatever.

Who the hell even knows anymore.

Did you know Alexi Navalny is a neo-Nazi?

They obviously don’t mention this often in the media for what I assume are obvious reasons. But some more edjumakatid people who have been following internal Russian politics are aware of the fact that he’s what is called a racist/neo-Nazi/white supremacist/etc. People who are in a place where they are educated enough to know that Navalny is a hardcore racist, but not high enough on the ladder to see how this fits into the larger scheme of things, are going to need some kind of explanation.

First off, when he’s the hero overthrowing the evil Vladimir Putin government in the name of the white race, “neo-Nazi” becomes “ethnonationalist.”

Recently, NPR did a segment on it, where Jewish host Scott Simon spoke to Julia Davis, who is – get this –  a “Russian media and disinformation expert”:

SIMON: We have become familiar with the image of Alexei Navalny in recent days – charismatic, brave. But tell us where he has come from politically because there’s a time he was very popular with Russia’s ethnonationalists.

DAVIS: He still has nationalist leanings. And no one could say that he is in perfect alignment with all of the Western values. But there again, that’s not what he aims to represent. What he mainly represents is the possibility that the Russians might be the ones to decide who gets to lead Russia.

SIMON: Well, tell us a little bit more about his track record and if he’s revised it in recent years – things he’s said about Chechnya and Crimea, for example.

DAVIS: He supported the annexation of Crimea, unfortunately. And he also does have some nationalist leanings. He is evolving in many respects. And one of the things that’s so unique about him is that he refuses to fear Putin.

SIMON: How are some of the supporters in what’s become a pro-Navalny coalition? How comfortable are they with some of what Alexei Navalny represents in his nationalist views?

DAVIS: I have seen some of them have a problem with it. Unfortunately, nationalist and racist rhetoric is very commonplace in Russia, so that hasn’t been something that really stood in his way. And it’s not dissimilar from a lot of issues that we’re seeing with Trump supporters in the United States – the fear of immigrants and the fear of other people that are coming and supposedly taking our jobs. So it’s similar in that way.

Yes, so this disinformation expert (she is some kind of Moslima from the Ukraine) admits that the entire image of Navalny fighting for democracy is actually a total hoax, and he’s basically just like Donald Trump.

Interesting, interesting.

You’re almost left wondering if the decision to not mention this in the media, and instead portray Navalny as a “democracy fighter,” is some kind of “Jewish disinformation campaign.”

Of course, we at the top level understand what is going on here: neo-Nazism is an easy way to cause chaos in Slavic countries. I’m sure some Russian neo-Nazis are good people – and in fact, I’ve known some – but they are not totally smart. So just like Christians in China, they are used by Western intelligence for dirty means and dirty ends.

It’s easy to get a large mob of aggressive neo-Nazis together to scream about the fact that there are Moslems in Russia, and to blame Putin for it. In fact, Putin has simply done what he could to maintain what was left of the Russian Empire, which always had Moslems. The difference is that Moslems weren’t allowed to freely travel during the traditional Russian period, and the only ones who would show up in Moscow were the elite of the Moslem areas who would be well behaved and not trying to steal anyone’s job.

Putin did what he needed to do to keep all of the Stans from breaking off and becoming puppets of America. In Russia, there aren’t very many Moslems, but of course the ones that are there are horrible. It is a legitimate complaint. However, the solution is not to break “Greater Russia” apart, because then it just becomes dominated by Western intelligence agencies.

The plan was to break up Russia completely after the fall of the Soviet Union, and Vladimir Putin singlehandedly prevented the whole thing from coming unglued.

Here’s the fact: “A pure white Russia free of Western influence” was never an option on the table. It won’t be on the table unless the Western alliance of NATO countries collapses.

Total female liberation, total gay anal everywhere, unlimited immigration – all of that is worse than having a few Kazakhs sweeping streets or Uzbeks running 24-hour cigarette and liquor stores on the corner. Putin has said he wants to defend whites and Christianity, and in the future, it is obviously possible that an internal passport system could be implemented to keep all but the richest of the Moslem former-USSR out of Moscow. That is something you can still talk about openly in Russia. But it can’t happen while the CIA is trying to overthrow the Russian government.

And that is why the State Department, the Jewish media and the entire EU support neo-Nazis.

This Russian situation is an exact repeat of the Ukrainian Maidan: you have Jews, neo-Nazis, women and homosexuals all on board with overthrowing the government.

I hope that some of you English speaking neo-Nazis reading this will hear me out: the grass is not greener over here. Please watch the above video of that little boy dressed up like a girl, on hard drugs, with a gay man in his thirties, and understand that the government is literally promoting this to children in our schools.

Weigh that against the annoyance of seeing some Chechen shuffling around at the train station. Get out the scale, and weigh the two things. Then, understand that Vladimir Putin is the only thing standing between you and the mouth of hell. And be grateful.

Appendix

Dear Russia: you’d better switch off the internet.

There’s no other way this works.

As long as Western intelligence can use Facebook and Twitter to organize the opposition, while censoring your people who try to counter them, you are going to lose the battle for hearts and minds.

This is a fact.

Please, someone tell Putin this. He gave that speech, but Facebook and Twitter are still accessible with a Russian IP.

You should ban them anyway for the censorship itself. It is against freedom of expression to allow them to dominate the conversation, and decide who gets a voice and who doesn’t.

UPDATE: Looks like we might actually be going to war after all.

Andrew Anglin thinks that we are almost out of the woods here. I think he might be right.

That being said, there’s still a lot of tension and anything can go wrong. And if something does go wrong, it will be disastrous.

Meanwhile, the Europeans have wisely decided to redirect all air traffic away from Syria.

RT:

Eurocontrol, an EU body responsible for handling air traffic over the continent, has issued a Rapid Alert Notification to flight operators in the eastern Mediterranean, warning them to be ready for NATO rocket launches into Syria.

“Due to the possible launch of air strikes into Syria with air-to-ground and / or cruise missiles within the next 72 hours, and the possibility of intermittent disruption of radio navigation equipment, due consideration needs to be taken when planning flight operations in the Eastern Mediterranean / Nicosia FIR area,” the alert said.

The alert warns pilots to be ready for specific NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen), concerning flight risks and obstacles that may arise.

Meanwhile, we’re waiting for the UN inspectors to do their job and share their findings. While they’re there, nothing bad can happen, r-r-right?

Well, the US Deep State has a long and storied tradition of organizing false flag attacks that act as casus belli to enter the war.

I’m glad that the Europeans have redirected all flights. This could have been a perfect opportunity for a repeat of the Malaysian airliner incident over Ukraine.

Once again, to summarize what happened:

• The US said that they would retaliate against Assad over muh gas babies.
• There were strikes against a base full of Iranians.
• We later found out that this was, in fact, the kikes launching the attack from Lebanon – not the US.
• The Pantsir systems the Syrians had in place shot down 5 out of the 8 missiles.
• We found out that the USS Donald Cook was off the coast of Syria, and the Truman Carrier group was en route.

In terms of military action – that’s where we’re at right now. Oh and the Russians re-affirmed their commitment to blow up the US’s ships if they launch any missiles into Syria.

RT:

The Russian military reserves the right to shoot down missiles and destroy launch sites in the event of US aggression against Syria, Moscow’s envoy to Lebanon Alexander Zasypkin has warned.

Zasypkin stressed that “the Russian forces will confront any US aggression on Syria, by intercepting the missiles and striking their launch pads,” al-Manar TV website reported, citing the envoy.

Speaking to the channel, the ambassador also said that the allegations of a chemical attack were being used to justify “offensive acts” in Syria, while “the US and Western escalation against Syria will lead to a major crisis.”

So it’s still a Mexican standoff, and all the onlookers/townspeople are starting to scatter because tensions are high.

It occurs to me that this is probably what living during the Cold War felt like.

I’m handling it pretty well, tbh.

IDK why those weak Boomers were freaking out so much back in the day. If it happens, it happens. Suck it up, buttercup.

Better it not happen, but now it’s the Boomers who are braying for war and talking about being “tough” and all that bullshit. So if it does happen, it’s all their fault either way.

Drama in Munich!

Leave it to the Russians to state obvious facts no one wants to hear!

LA Times:

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev raised the specter of a new Cold War on Saturday and compared the current tensions between Russia and the West to the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, which brought the world to the brink of nuclear war.

“NATO’s political stance toward Russia remains unfriendly and isolated,” he said in televised remarks at an international security conference in Munich, Germany. “One can say even more harshly, we have slid into the times of a new Cold War.”

…

Medvedev served as Russian president in 2008-12 while his mentor, Vladimir Putin, was prime minister, and his remarks in Munich presumably had Putin’s stamp of approval. His reference to the Cuban Missile Crisis was oblique but unmistakable.

“I sometimes wonder: Are we in 2016 or in 1962?” he said, addressing Western leaders, security officials and diplomats at the conference.

In his own remarks to the conference, U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry said that “the Cold War is long over,” although he said there was still a need “for the courage and the resolve in defending liberty and in pursuing peace.”

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg was somewhat tougher in his remarks. “We have seen a more assertive Russia, a Russia which is destabliizing the European security order,” he said. “NATO does not seek confrontation and we don’t want a new Cold War. At the same time, our response has to be firm.”

“Destabilizing the European security order”? What does this mean?

NATO is the one moving a massive war machine onto Russia’s border. It is not the other way around.

And how on earth can any Europe talk about anyone endangering their security when they are flooding their own selves with millions of ISIS terrorists/gang-rapists?

Who can take this crap seriously?

While he called for dialogue with Russia, Stoltenberg added that NATO “is undertaking the biggest reinforcement of our collective defense in decades, to send a powerful signal to deter any aggression or intimidation. … We are in a new reality with Russia.”

Yeah, you’re in some type of new reality there, buddy.

The West paid people to fight the cops and throw a bloody revolution in The Ukraine, and they created ISIS and then protected them.

This is not Russia’s fault.

Ironically, Munich was the venue of Putin’s fiery 2007 speech that is widely seen as Moscow’s attempt to renew Cold War rhetoric and reclaim its superpower status. Putin accused the West of creating a “unipolar world” and accused NATO of “moving closer” to Russia’s borders.

It was a fantastic speech.

Classic.

The Syrian opposition and the United States have accused Russia of bombing so-called moderate opposition groups backed by the West, while Russia insists it is targeting Islamic State positions.

“To date, the vast majority, in our opinion, of Russia’s attacks have been against legitimate opposition groups,” Kerry said. “Obviously, if people who are ready to be part of the political process are being bombed we’re not going to have much of a conversation.”

Ha!

Yeah, it’ll be hard to have negotiations with terrorists when they’re all dead.

Sucks for you, John.

It looks like not only are you in a new cold war – you’re losing it.

“We need an aggressive stance against Russia because Russia is aggressive.”

What is Russia getting “aggressive” about though?

Could it be that you threw a revolution in a country which belongs to them, and tried to seize the entire part? You are now claiming they are aggressive because they kept a small part of the territory you attempted to steal?

Then you sanctioned them, collapsed their currency, and moved a bunch of heavy weaponry to stations near their border.

And Russia is continually saying they don’t want conflict.

AP:

Defence Secretary Ash Carter called on Germany and other NATO allies to stand together in the face of Russian aggression and other security threats in the region, but insisted no one is looking for another Cold War or new hot conflict with Moscow.

Speaking not far from Berlin’s iconic Brandenburg Gate, Carter pointed to the progress that Europe has made since the end of the Cold War, and said Russia must not be allowed to turn back the clock.

“We do not seek a cold, let alone a hot war with Russia,” Carter said in prepared remarks at Atlantik Brucke, a Berlin think-tank that focuses on the German-U.S. relationship. “We do not seek to make Russia an enemy. But make no mistake: we will defend our allies, the rules-based international order, and the positive future it affords us. We will stand up to Russia’s actions and their attempts to re-establish a Soviet-era sphere of influence.”

He did not explain what exactly he was seeking for while attempting to security a military alliance against a non-aggressive country. Just that it doesn’t relate to war or conflict.

US/EU/NATO maintain the sphere of influence they had during the Soviet era. Their sphere of influence has vastly expanded since that time, in fact. So “standing up” against the concept of sphere’s of influence doesn’t strike me as logically consistent. It’s almost as if he’s saying “we wish to be the only bloc of power in the world, and we won’t let Putin threaten that” which is exactly the position Putin has accused the West of taking.

He said that as Russia modernizes its military, it also is trying to undermine NATO and threatening to erode economic and security stability with its recent nuclear saber-rattling.

What purpose would Russia have in doing this? And what evidence exists that they are attempting to do this?

Carter lauded German leaders for playing a leading role in the effort to defuse the Russia-Ukraine crisis, and sending military support and observers to the mission in Ukraine.

He also continued to urge Germany and others to adhere to promises made at the NATO summit in Wales last year and increase defence spending. He warned that there is an undeniable tendency to turn inward and everyone must guard against that temptation.

Haha.

They need to guard against not wanting to spend money on weapons to start wars of aggression.

There is a temptation to not want to start wars for banks that everyone guard against.

This is retarded.

Estonia

Just wanted to mention here that I read an Estonian recently saying that he had been occupied by Russia and so views Russia as a bigger threat than NATO because he’s never been occupied by NATO.

Well, he’s the thing: I’ve been occupied by NATO, and I’ve never been occupied by Russia. NATO, as a Jewish institution, is even more foreign to America and Western Europe than Russians are to Estonia.

He said that Russia displaced his population by moving Russians into his country. But you know what? I’d rather currently be occupied by Russia and have them moving Russians in than be occupied by Jews and have them moving Mexicans, Somalians and Pakis into my country.

And here’s this: I lived in Moldova, so I have a relative grasp on the situation. Yes, I felt for the Romanian population, and yes, it isn’t right.

But cry me a river, this is what I deal with:

I wish I were so lucky as to be occupied by Russia.
