The
EU/NATO combo cannot but play
the role
of pathetic yapping chihuahuas.
That's the
price you pay for a
matrioshka
of supreme stupidity...
No one ever lost money betting on the politically suicidal instincts
of post-Orwellian EU - that acronym for a virtual Europe.
Call them juvenile bipolar psychos or a bunch of yapping
chihuahuas:
no Jupiterian or Mercurial voice of reason
has been capable to impart to the "leadership" in Brussels and
their vassals in most European capitals - yes, there are healthy
exceptions - that losers in wars do not dictate terms.
And still those War Council 'luminaries' -
with a special starring role for the toxic Pfizer Medusa and
her Estonian sidekick unable to even manage a herring stall
in the Baltics - insist that essentially
the mega-corrupt gang in Kiev must
prevail, to the last Ukrainian dead, and on top of it dictate the
final terms of their non-surrender...

Reality begs to differ.
Plan A was never to talk, much less
negotiate with Russia.
And still there's no Plan B...
So after the
28-pointer Theater of the Absurd
- which is not even Trump's plan, but a mish mash concocted by the
Witkoff-Dmitriev duo plus "insights" from neo-con Rubio and
toxic Zionist asset Jared Kushner - the cross-yapping went
ballistic, leading to an emergency "counter-plan" that is, what
else, a Loser's Manifesto...
Even Rubio allowed himself a shining moment:
"What plan?"
Might as well call it The Euro-kiss of
Death...
Russia, meanwhile, behaves like Lao Tzu surrounded by rabid
stray dogs. The conditions for a negotiation have been set in detail
by Putin since June 2024.
These are non-negotiable, and would allow the
negotiation to start:
Kiev withdraws from the four regions and
formally pledges to never enter
NATO.
One of the EU's "counter-plan" points is a,
30-day ceasefire, with all territorial
disputes to be debated afterwards.
So that means everything frozen on the current
front line, and no Ukraine withdrawal from the parts of Donbass they
still occupy.
None of that - and much more - is remotely
acceptable to the actual winner of the war, Russia.
It would not be acceptable even if NATO
troops were entering Moscow tomorrow...
So the "counter-plan", elaborated in conjunction
with the unimaginably corrupt Kiev combo, is essentially a
sabotage op to buy some extra time and buy some $6 trillion
in - American - weapons - for their amply avowed Forever War.
Fine with Moscow - as the SMO (Special
Military Operation) will keep going on, rolling thunder
mode.
Losers Bombing a Peace Plan
The EU's 24-point counter-plan contains nuggets such as,
Ukraine receiving legally binding security
guarantees from the Empire of Chaos and its
vassals:
a de facto NATO Article 5 scam with
different terminology.
Plus no restrictions on Ukraine's armed
forces and defense industry.
Control of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant
(with the Empire of Chaos in the mix) and the Kakhovka
Dam
Unhindered access to the Dnieper River and
control of the Kinburn Spit
And the killer:
Ukraine "financially compensated" - including
through the stolen, so far, Russian sovereign assets, which will
remain stolen until Moscow pays compensation.
As for sanctions, they "may" - that's the
operative word - be "partially" - another operative word - eased
only after a "sustainable peace", with automatic snap-back if the
deal is violated.
Translation:
the West can sanction Russia again anytime
they see fit.
No word on provocations by the EU/NATO using
Ukraine - the actual set up that led to the SMO.
So what the "counter-plan" proposes - obviously
redacted by a bunch of Eurocrats who cannot even fire a pistol
properly - is a replica of the exact blueprint that led to the
battlefield opened in February 2022.
Russia once again is playing it with boundless patience...
The
Trump plan which is not
really Trump's,
is diplomatically regarded as a "good
foundation" for further serious negotiations - with the yapping
crowd having no access to the table.
That's it - at best...
After all Russia is enjoying a series of overlapping asymmetric
advantages in the battlefield:
-
systemic and tactical adaptation
-
enormous advantage in drone operations (FPV
drones with fiber-optics)
-
use of long-range glide bombs
The chihuahua "counter-plan" essentially calls
for,
It has already bombed, metaphorically, the
original Trump plan that is not exactly Trump's.
The "counter-plan" should also be seen as a diversionist tactic now
that the dark pit of corruption in Kiev starts to be
pried upon by the NABU investigation - even as Russian UN
representative
Nebenzya had been warning
the UN Security Council since
forever that,
"you were dealing with a corrupt gang that is
profiting from the war".
Nebenzya also correctly observed that not a
single Western country has said a word about the corruption scandal
in Kiev.
Of course:
because a proper investigation
will inevitably follow the corruption chain of command all the
way to decision making circles in Washington and
in Brussels...
The Metaphysical Void of EU
"Elites"
Emmanuel Todd, in his ground-breaking
The Defeat of the West,
published in France early last year (the first review in English is
here) was the first European
analyst to get deeper into the EU malaise, side by side with his
comprehensive analysis of the proxy war in Ukraine.
Recently, in an
outstanding lecture in Hiroshima,
Todd made a startling correlation between Russophobia and
Protestantism.
Certain passages are worth quoting at length:
"What we have seen appear recently in Europe
is a specifically European Russophobia, a specifically
European warmongering, centered on Northern Europe, on
Protestant Europe.
Protestant Europe is the
United Kingdom, it's the
majority of
Germany, it's
Scandinavia, it's two out of three
Baltic countries."
At the same time, Todd has observed that,
"Spain, Italy, Catholic countries in general,
are neither Russophobic nor hawkish."
Todd's key argument is that protestantism,
"is more dangerous in its zero state than
Catholicism".
"Protestantism is more capable of leaving
behind a nihilistic society. Protestantism, and the same could
be said of Judaism, was a very demanding religion.
There was God, there was the faithful,
and the world was secondary. The beauty of the world in
particular was rejected with, among other things, a refusal of
images, a refusal of the visual arts.
When such religions, obsessed with
transcendence, disappear, nothing remains. The world itself is
not interesting, empty. This intense void opens up a particular
possibility of nihilism.
Catholicism is a less demanding, more humane
religion that can accept the idea that the world is, in itself,
beautiful.
The images have not been rejected in the
Catholic world, and the Catholic world is filled with artistic
wonders. In a Catholic country, if you lose God, you are
left with the feeling of this beauty of the world.
If you are French, you still have the feeling
that you live - an illusion no doubt - in the most beautiful
country in the world."
Well, it's slightly more nuanced.
What about the - vicious -
Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition...?
Germany was in fact forced by a massive P.R.
campaign to become Russophobic, unlike the Baltic chihuahuas.
Most of Protestant Europe is in fact atheistic - and the next
step from atheism is nihilism.
Romania is mostly Christian Orthodox - where
hatred of Russia is like a national sport.
And Protestantism was essentially
Christianity turbo-charged to
the Age of Capital. So the main conflict is in fact Western
turbo-Neoliberalism vs. Christian Orthodox Russia.
Back to the basics...
Everyone with an IQ over room temperature knows
that the NATO regime in Kiev runs on theft and outright plunder.
The lights are now off.
Heating is mostly off.
The army is steadily collapsing all along the
1,200+ km frontline.
Yet the EU elites - the set up in Brussels just follows their
orders - have invested no holds barred in the inevitable (in
their dreams) collapse and looting of Russia.
That's why there was never a "Plan B"...
If the EU folds now, if they admit they are the irretrievable losers
in this absurdist adventure, the economic collapse will be epic.
The EU/NATO combo cannot but play the role of
pathetic yapping chihuahuas.
That's the price you pay for a
matryoshka of supreme stupidity:
to provoke and threaten a superpower with the
most advanced nuclear and hypersonic arsenal on the planet.
Their current "victory" is to bomb Trump's
already shaky "peace" plan.
So many horrors, so little time.
On a more auspicious note, let's give Todd the
last word:
"If you are Italian, you actually live in the
country in the world where there are the most beautiful things,
since Italy itself has become an object of art.
In such contexts, the fear of the
metaphysical void is less intense, and therefore the risk of
nihilism less.
In my opinion, the country in Europe least
threatened by nihilism is
Italy, because in Italy
everything is beautiful".
So shed your metaphysical void, dump those
chihuahuas of war, and embrace the beauty of Italy as a living work
of art.
That's exactly what I'm doing next...
