It is bluntly a joke to say, as often hyped by the western mainstream media, the Russian military special operation launched two years ago has “imperialist ambitions”. This Russophobic western propaganda is hidden precisely the western imperialist goals, the perpetuation of more than five centuries of western colonialism and its share of massacre, looting the natural resources of colonized people and countries in Americas, Africa, the Middle east and extermination of indigenous populations. It is laugh stick to say that the biggest country on the map of the globe with area of 14,7 million KM² was launched a military operation in Ukraine, becoming over time a hybrid war between NATO member states and Russia, with the main goal, gleaning some 60 KM² from Ukrainian territory. The main trigger of current Ukraine proxy war is first and before all the neo nazi coup engineered by the United sates and European Union in 2014 using mercenaries neo nazi paramilitary shock troops and snipers who committed the massacre of Euromaidan and two months later by committing another massacre of Russian speaking populations in Odessa on May-4, 2014 leaving 42 dead burned alive in the trade Union house. The immediate objective of Euromaidan perpetrators was the suppression of the multinational character of Ukraine, as inherited from the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the decades of progress and development during Soviet Ukraine before and after World War Two. In Parallel to Odessa first resistance to Euromaidan coup, Crimea resisted and survived the coup thanks to the existence of an autonomous, regional government to which the population could turn for protection. Crimea was the only region of Ukraine to have such an autonomous government. This was and remains a legacy of the self-determination policies of the 1917 Russian Revolution. The ‘Autonomous Republic of Crimea’ survived the secession of Ukraine from the Soviet Union (USSR) in 1990-91 and became a thorn in the side of the nationalist government in Kiev that oversaw the transition of Ukraine’s planned economy under Soviet rule to today’s disastrous capitalist economy.

Putin and Russian capitalism
If we look and examine closely Putin’s State of the Nation speech on Thursday, contrary to the controversial opinions expressed by these pundits, If there’s one thing that really stands out from this speech, how Russia could be integrated in global capitalism following the plethora of sanctions imposed by the US and the European Union following the Ukraine proxy war. Exactly as did China under the leadership of Deng Xiao Ping who smoothly transformed the communist Maoist China into disguised capitalism and connected the Chinese economy to global capitalism. Unfortunately for the peace in the world, the then two communist global powers that played key role in International relations and geopolitics and to moderate the appetite of unbridled western hegemony and its endless wars of aggression since the collapse of the USSR, become a mere economic and mercantile competitors looking for the way to do business as usual not to change the balance of power between the West and the rest of the world. It will be improbable that balance of power could shift in favour of Russia or China as today dominant currency, the US dollar represents 88% of total currencies exchanged daily all over the world and this US dollar hegemony will continue even for a decade.

Ukraine’s war of attrition
This is the main explication why the collective West is unable to sustain a war of attrition in Ukraine. Till Ukraine proxy war, the west was lulled by a triumphalist mind and feelings of invincibility as If we look back of its previous wars of aggression since the demise of the USSR, the western armies and NATO’s miliary forces were able to share their resources and to defeat swiftly and easily the armies of their adversaries. One can remember that following Saddam Hussein’s incursion in Kuweit in August, 1990, George Bush Senior formed international coalition of 32 countries to wage a blitzkrieg against the Iraqi regime on January 16, 1991 leading to the destruction of the Iraqi army and its expulsion from Kuweit. In 1999, after 78 days of bombing, NATO’s member states defeated the Serbian army. One decade after the Gulf war, on October 2001, the United States, under the pretext of fighting terrorism, formed another international coalition leading to the fall of the Taliban regime in Kabul within days and the occupation of this central Asia country during 20 years. In March 2003, the United States supported by its European and the Middle East proxies invaded Iraq and occupied the country in only two months. In 2011, NATO’s military forces destroyed Libya in only seven months, from March to October of this year. Till Ukraine proxy war, the United states achieved its economic, political and geopolitical goals in Iraq and Libya within a short time without a huge mobilization of military resources. Till the launch of Russian military special operation, the West appears to be confident that it is the master of the universe and that its military strength could be allowed to be the most powerful and invincible bloc in the world. But two years after the Russian military operation, the collective west starts realizing its Ukraine proxy war was a trap as this current war is not the other wars of the past and that its military forces which were able to defeat weak countries like Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya have no sufficient resources to sustain a war of attrition against Russia. This explain the disarray and desperation of the western bloc as its industrial military complex is not prepared to cope with the military situation on the battlefield in Ukraine by sustaining mass production of military equipment and ammunitions. The series of defeats inflicted to the Ukrainian armed forces in the last months and weeks show that the western backers of Kiev regime are unbale to cope with the disastrous posture on the battlefield and to sustain a long war of attrition.

double standard and biased narratives
Ukraine proxy war and US-Israeli onslaught of civilian populations in the Gaza strip are the two latest examples of western binary mind and the double standard in international relations. Two years after the launch of Russian military special operation to stop NATO’s expansion eastwards and the denazification of Kiev regime established 10 years ago by the United States and its proxy European Union, and more than four months after the US-Israeli military campaign in occupied Palestine aimed at extermination and annihilation of Palestinians, the entire world discovers the pervasive western propaganda and how its mainstream media manufactured biased narrative when it comes to these two conflicts. During its past endless wars of aggression in Iraq, in Serbia, in Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, as worthy heirs of Josef Goebbels’s methods and techniques of propaganda, the western propaganda thanks to subservient mass media fed by narratives manufactured especially by pervasive intelligence services and numerous agencies specialized in the psychological warfare, whose main objective, brain whitewashing was working to demonize the enemy, to create the image of hatred leaders and to manufacture consent in public opinion. Before the advent of the internet, the west, through its powerful news agencies, had the full control of information and the monopole to create narratives and stories serving to legitimize its military campaigns. The advent of the web was a game changer as everyone can research and collect his proper source of information thanks to the multiplication and proliferation of independent sources of information in order to form his proper opinion concerning the military conflicts waged by the West. Thanks to the founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, the US crimes in Iraq was leaked and the public opinion discovers the horrors, the brutality, the cruelty and the barbarity of the West established as a giver of lessons of morality to the world. Today, thanks to abundant independent sources of information every minded person, watching or listen to the mainstream media is able to discover and to distinguish by himself the true from the false and the biased narratives concerning the western proxy war in Ukraine and the US-Israeli crimes in occupied Palestine.

Mass media, propaganda and capitalism
Historian and author Dr. Gerald Horne is right and deserves to be known and read by naming the things by their names as saying “ The crisis goes beyond just the media, Horne argued, saying it is a crisis of “the entire capital system” and is part of “the inevitable demise of capitalism.” In fact, if capitalism survived its periodic and cyclical crisis as depicted by Marx in his seminal work, the Capital, it is because of two determinant factors,(1) imperialism and colonialism in order to control and to steal the huge wealth of mineral resources outside EUROPE and North America, (2) the manipulation and the reap of the masses by political propaganda researched and as very well explained by these two authors, the Freud’s nephew, Edward Bernay in his seminal book published in 1928, “propaganda,” with this very telling subtitle, “how manipulating public opinion in democracy” and Serge Tchakotine, from Russian descent, in his voluminous book “the reap of the crowd by political propaganda”. In this time, the former colonizing peoples and regions all over the world, in particular in Africa, are realizing and are becoming aware that the main cause of their chronic under development is due to the plunder and the theft of their underground riches, the very precious mineral and agricultural wealth and by the way, the new generation in Africa is waking up, determined to accomplish a second struggle for independence as we have seen last year during the second summit Russia Africa at St Petersburg with the very historical speech of the Burkinabe young president Ibrahim Troaré calling the African people to take their destiny in their hands without waiting for former colonizers’s aid. When it comes to the manipulation of the masses by political propaganda, capitalism shouldn’t survive so long without manipulating the human psychology by the mass media of communications(MMC) which always were the monopole of under the control of big capital and financial corporations whose main objective consists of manipulating and influencing the choice of the voters called to vote in spite of themselves for the same ruling class and for its corrupt political establishment. The emergence of internet early XXI century giving place to diversification of sources of information and analysis, the monopole of political propaganda by the ruling class and the political establishment has been undermined, that is why the western governments in Europe and North America were eager since 20 years to restrict the so called free of speech, to control internet and to silence the dissident voices through legislations witnessed by the latest European legislation called Digital Acts Services( DAS) promoted by the French commissioner André Breton.
35 years ago, on February 15, 1989, the Soviet troops withdrew from Afghanisatn. Russia today is denigrating the key role played the USSR coming to support its ally. this narrative of the so called Soviet mistake in Afghanistan coming to support its ally is biased and incorrect insight over the USSR intervention in Afghanistan, a story manufactured by the worthy successors of Gorbachev and Yeltsin. In the name of internationalism and the support to colonized peoples all over the world the USSR was ready to help to provide support at the national liberation from the yoke of western colonialism and imperialism. conversely, All the colonized peoples have always considered the USSR as the big brother, wise partner on which one can count to lead heroic and epical struggle against powerful western colonizers. Ho Chi Minh went from Paris to Moscow to learn the principles and the methods to liberate his country from the French colonization. Ther is always Patrice Lumumba’s university in Moscow. Nasser’s Egypt turned to the USSR for help to build Assouan dam and to Tito for military equipment. without the support of the USSR, there is no country called the DRPK on the map of the globe. In only few years following the USSR support to Najibullah’s government schools and hospitals in the most remote corners of the country. Unfortunately, this successful experience in Afghanistan came to end with the destruction of the USSR by Gorbachev and Yeltsin. One can say also that inertia and inaction of Russia post USSR giving free hand to western imperialism helped the destruction of Afghanistan going returned today to the middle age, of Serbia bombed during 78 days, of Iraq’s two wars in 1991 and 2003, of Libya in 2011 and Syria. it is no coincidence that the countries which were victims of invasions and wars of aggression in the Middle East and in Africa, committed by western imperialism following the demise of the USSR were all former allies of the Soviet Union.
Iran and Sai Arabia posturing are bu a mere Hollywoodian show without any importance on the ground in the Gaza Strip where Israel has already slaughtered more than 35000 Palestinians, destroying the tiny territory of its inhabitants and the war criminal Netanyahu confirmed that his army would continue to strike Rafa, the only passage by which the Gazans could escape. The most urgent action to take by these two rivals consists of the kind of military supports in order to halt Palestinians extermination, saving civilian lives not intelligence cooperation, fighting terrorism and money laundering. Iran and Saudi Arabia must follow the example of the courageous posture taken since November 2023 the Yemeni movement of Ansar Al Islam vowed to strike any ship transiting through the Red Sea and Bab and the Detroit of Bab Al Minded loading with US and western military equipment at Israel destination. This is a very concrete action contrasting with Iranian and Saudi gesticulations. It is worth noting that Saudi Iranian are but a mere diplomatically and political gesticulations as Saudi Arabia remains a mere US colony hosting US and western military bases, making impossible any real and genuine cooperation with Iran is considered as archi enemy, a member of the evil axis, and targeted regime, like Russia, China and North Korea, which are in the crosshairs of the West

Putin’s revisionist history
A pundit noted that Putin’s knowledge of history and geopolitics and his ability to recall them was impressive to watch. -Tucker-Putin interview is but a public relations exercise used by the Russian president to please to the West, to sell formatted image to the Americans. The first question that comes to mind is “which kind of history Putin is speaking about”? the answer to that question is Putin, a former KGB’s officer in East Germany was turned politician thanks to Boris Yeltsin, the man who transformed a global power, the USSR, into a mere US colony. As a mere politician whose job is to keep the power as long as possible, looking to please both to the anti communist West and the heirs of Gorbachev and Yeltsin, Putin is reciting only the Post Soviet revisionist and anti communist historiography and defamation of the real and genuine history of Russia from 1917 to 1991. In sum, Putin’s history is not the real history that occurred between 1917 and 1991 but ideological and political history, a revisionist history similar to the revisionist history rewritten by the West comparing Hitler to Stalin, hailed as the man who defeated Nazism and liberated the European continent from the yoke of a racist and bloody regime, was depicted as a monster and even making the USSR responsible for the outbreak of the WWII. When we come to the geopolitics, one can say Russia in the post Soviet era ceased to be a global major player having its word in the world politics because the dreamed goal of United states to crush the USSR has been realized without Colour revolution nor atomic bomb by luring and deceiving the naïve Gorbachev by vague promises comparable to the Minsk agreements in 2015, stratagem used by the West to buy time and to strengthen neo nazi in Kiev 10 years ago. The evidence that Russia post Soviet ceased to be a major player in global politics, NATO’s expansion eastwards since 2004 whose member states were passed from 16 to 30 in 2022 and since 32. The second evidence that post Soviet Russia became insignificant player in global politics and geopolitics is the numerous Colour revolutions fomented by the United states and its European proxies aimed at regime change in the ex Soviet republics. The third evidence that post Soviet Russia era ceased to play key role in geopolitics is the advent of neo nazi regime in Ukraine without any reaction from the current Russian leadership. If Russia today escaped the faith reserved to the ex Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria and Libya, it is thanks to the atomic bomb whose first production in 1949 was ordered by Stalin, a dissuasive weapon serving as a deterrent and counterweight to the US Manhattan project planning to wipe out 76 Soviet major cities following the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945. North Korea supported since its inception by the USSR learned the lesson by building and acquiring the atomic weapon as a powerful deterrent against US imperialism which was unfortunately not the case of ex-Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya and Syria.

Putin’s anti communist impulse
“we have every reason to affirm that Ukraine is an artificial state that was shaped at Stalin’s will, » Putin explained. Putin’s reasoning is clearly false because it is not the will of only one man that the current states were shaped but the history and by the wars and geopolitics. In the case of the present NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine, it is unthinkable that Stalin would passively observe NATO’s expansion eastwards since 2004 and particularly since the neo coup in Kiev in 2014 without counteracting and pushing away the continuing progress of the western hostile forces near the Russian borders. It is unthinkable that Stalin would blindly trust the West and await 8 years before discovering that Russia has been lured and deceived by the Mink agreements used by the West as stratagem to allow Kiev regime to build fortifications and to kill 14000 Russian speaking people in Donbass. It is unthinkable that Stalin should tolerate the establishment of neo nazi regime in kiev without doing something to get rid of. We can say without contradicting oneself that not only Ukraine is an artificial state but all the states composing currently the United nations are artificial states too. Crimea and Moldavia(ex Bessarabia) were part of the Ottoman empire and they have been annexed by Tsarist Russia following continuing wars between these two empires. If we follow Putin’s reasoning one can say that Crimea and Moldavia should be returned to Turkey. Poland disappeared twice from the map before its reborn in the beginning of the XX century. The United states is a artificial state as a major part of its territory was former Spanish colonies. African, the Balkan and the Middle east states are artificial states too. The current European states were shaped by Napoleon’s wars. The French Alsace and Lorraine should be returned to the current Germany and Austria because they were part of the holy Germanic Empire. Corsica was taken by Napoleon from Genoa and all French southern regions were part of Catalonia annexed by the wars. All Latin American states were shaped by the Spanish colonization. That is why Putin’s reasoning about the making of Ukraine by the will of only one man so called is clearly false provoked by what Michael Parenti called the “Anti communist Impulse”
