West's duplicitous double standards: Russia War

[SOL]

Found out yesterday some Ukrainian P'sOSMO are incarcerated here in Kashin. Of course with Russian prisoners. Will not venture to guess if conditions for them are better than Guantanamo or not.

There are also rumours that they captured a big Canadian General who was trying to leave azovstal and this guy had intimate knowledge of the Biolabs in Ukraine. if true it could prove to a big stinker for the US. Also, several other mercs have been captured.

As for the Ukaniaan dudes anyone that was part of Azov or on the wanted list, I really feel sorry for them, for Guatanamo might sound like a walk in the park

Here are some interesting videos' take them with a grain of salt or a shot of whiskey or both

They say this video illustrates the Russian mindset when it comes to war, maybe some fluent in Russian could translate it

The prison here in Kashin is not a big one. I suspect they are spreading prisoners from Ukraine, such that too few are in any one prison to group together for protection.

For the video closed captions are available. I will add that on May 9th every year, there are parades in virtually every town/city. Very somber, they carry pictures of their loved ones who fought in the Great War. These people will not forget. Блат, my eyes got watery, they're affecting me!

Yeh, my superficial understanding is that >27 million Russians died to win WW2.

American propaganda focuses on "the Battle of Normandy" and other such nonsense as being critical to the defeat of Germany in WW2, but in reality, it was the Russians and the Russian winter that won the day.

It is said that every Russian extended family has at least one member who died in WW2. "Never forget" takes on a whole new meaning for them.

Tying this in with Putin, my speculation is that Russia has mostly stabilized the region to its liking in the current Russian crisis in Ukraine.

So, he can finally undergo whatever surgery he needs, in time to look strong for May 9th - as you mentioned, Russians take this day very seriously, as this is when they celebrate winning WW2.

More speculation: Putin could have low grade thyroid cancer of some sort - this type of cancer is generally easily removed surgically, as surgeons often call good thyroid surgery a 'bloodless" operation.

We'll find out in five days.

A while back there were reports of low flying night flights by Ukrainian copters into Azovstal. The level of risk taken indicated high level targets being removed. At least two copters were shot down and the Russians got shoulder patches of foreign NATO/mercs from a number of the corpses.

There's been discussion of why Putin didn't want those left in Azovstal bombed into oblivion but rather starved into submission (an un-Russian approach). Some reasons:

Numerous NATO combatants there, many high-level. The Russians want them. They'll ship them to the FSB in Moscow for questioning/show trials/war crimes etc.

There are Nazis they want to get their hands on.

Azovstal is the world's largest steel factory in the world - a valuable asset if not too damaged.

However, there have been suggestions that some NATO authorities would have preferred the obliteration route. Secrets to hide?

This is a follow through on the High-value target captured by the Russians

General Trevor Cadieu (Trevor John Cadieu), captured by Russian troops while trying to escape from the cellars of Azovstal, was the commander of the Canadian Ground Forces, APA reports citing Mailbd.

Seated in the catacombs under the Mariupol steel plant “Azovstal” nationalists staged a provocation, trying to hide the Canadian general’s attempt to escape. After the capture of a high-ranking foreign soldier by units of the RF Armed Forces, it became clear why so many efforts were made to save him.


According to media reports, the general’s name is Trevor Kadieu. Seven months ago, he was appointed to the post of commander of the Canadian Army, but before the inauguration, he was involved in a sex scandal. In the harassment that occurred back in 1994, he was accused by a former colleague. The general called the accusations false, but in April 2022 he retired from military service.

I don't know how reliable this source is but it appears it's just a matter of time before a bunch of high-value targets are captured if indeed there are high-value targets. We will only know after the fact.

Last May, one of my Russian Friends (well he is half Ukrainian and half Russian so he is in a tough spot now) played this for me (not this clip but the same song). Have you heard this song, if you put the captions on, the words are quite powerful

In the end, it is amazing how stupid those in power are. We have the power to do so much good but all they seem to do is want to gravitate toward misery.

Interesting that he's Canadian. In a recent conversation with a US Marine who had served in various theatres including Afghanistan, I happened to mention that the Canadians may have been involved in training Ukrainians. I was treated to a diatribe as to how effin useless the Canadians military were. Just sayin'.

If you look poke around the internet a tad, there's quite a lot of somewhat censored bits supporting the notion that the Canadian military has been training the Ukrainians for several years, at least.

As for the Canadian military's capabilities, atm they are pretty pathetic. It did well in WW1 and WW2, though, from my understanding. The really old European generation has a certain amount of respect for the Canadian troops.



In most ways I am happy that the current Canadian Armed Forces are pretty much a bad joke. Less killing innocents, less involvement in significant geopolitical armed conflicts, etc.

Canada, Vietnam and Taiwan all made the Top Ten.

When my father retired from the British Navy, he had a whole host of countries he was not allowed to visit for various terms of years. He'd been in charge of weapons systems and then in charge of sea trials and acceptance of new ships. Couldn't go to Canada for at least 10 years. That would be during the Pierre Trudeau years. Hmm, I wonder why?

Lol, I actually met Doug in person - this was probably over 15 years ago, I think - when he visited Toronto for some type of mining conference.

What I love about Casey is that he is exactly the same one-on-one talking to you casually as he is on YT being interviewed. No airs at all. Very genuine, authentic ...

He'll say this himself - he's a great speculator, but not a great investor. I lost a lot of money in 2008-9 playing around with the precious metals mining picks from his subscription services.

Doug is a great guy, though - believes in pure capitalism, the Individual vs. the State, Ayn Rand's Objectivism (in fact, he and a group kind of set up a bit of a Galt's Gulch of sorts, from what I remember, if you are familiar with Rand's _Atlas Shrugged_), hates Big Government, etc. Kinda like the way I yammer on about some of these topics on this forum.

He's a terrible market timer, though - when he starts getting airtime on the more mainstream media channels, the bottom's almost always in for the equity markets, at least on an interim basis. Kinda like Harry Dent and Jim Rickards in that respect.

Well, it's best not to follow the Herd, isn't it? If there's a Canadian Herd jumping ship ... maybe best not to follow - in accordance with Mass Psychology principles?

Not to get too weird and "New Agey" on you, but I enjoy a certain degree of Cosmic Protection in Toronto. Comes at a heavy cost, and the cost looks set to grow much higher. I guess this will be put to the test in the months and years to come.

As it is, we have two available, temporary bases (inlaws) even now, and for the foreseeable future - one in Austria, and one in Romania. Given recent geopolitical events, both aren't great options, but they are options, nonetheless.

Viewed from a certain perspective, "Freedom" is really the power to choose one's perceptions.

Held down by chains with a bullet speeding towards his head, the FreeMan still has, in his last moments, the freedom and responsibility to choose his stance when facing his fate. This is the only Freedom that really matters, when all is said and done.

The herd is not jumping ship, the herd is staying grounded praying, hoping and begging for a better tomorrow.
The best death is the death that does not hurt, You just melt away into the next plane. Braveheart like all heroes was a fool and that is why he died young. All heroes usually die young and well before their time. He should have never trusted the snakes. You trust a snake or the wrong snake and you are asking to be bitten.


Life is meant to be lived. What is living, doing more than existing. Making a ton of money and just existing as is the case with most of the super-rich is just as good as being poor and hoping for a better tomorrow. Both are lost. One has a better tomorrow but does nothing with it, one wishes for a better tomorrow but does nothing to get it.

Drawing your last breadth in front of one of these views would be a far more fitting way to move to the next dimension, then screaming a moronic phrase like freedom while getting gutted like a fish

If braveheart wanted freedom he would not have been screaming it he would have been living it
