The constant drumbeat of, frankly, insane talk about nuclear weapons and who will launch the first strike over the last couple of weeks, has gotten well and truly out of control by now. The rhetoric coming out of the West bears absolutely no relation to reality, yet Western politicians and elites continue to double down on the craziness, and their bought-and-paid-for presstitutes and whorenalists happily echo and amplify their lies.
The reality is much simpler, and much easier to understand. All you have to do is judge people by their actions, not their words.
The Russians have consistently maintained that they have no interest in using nuclear weapons of any kind, EXCEPT under two specific circumstances, as dictated by their nuclear doctrine, adopted in October of 2014. It is literally an 8-year-old doctrine that you can easily find for yourself, should you be so inclined. It states plainly that Russia can and will only ever use nuclear weapons if, and only if:
- The very existence of the Russian state itself is under threat from a conventional attack (which is to say, Moscow is on the verge of falling and Russia’s armies have been totally defeated on the battlefield – a cataclysmic outcome that is literally unthinkable to the Russian people); OR
- In reaction to the use of weapons of mass destruction, such as Chemical, Biological, or Nuclear (CBN) weapons against Russia;
Only in the first situation is a Russian nuclear first strike likely to happen. That is Russian doctrine, and we can rest assured that is precisely how they think – because, unlike Western elites, the Russians say what they mean and do what they say.
By contrast, the rhetoric coming out of the Five-Sided Wind Tunnel and the civilian, uh, “leadership” over at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, has become truly unmoored from reality.
For example, the Neo-Tsar stated at the Valdai conference just yesterday that Russia will not use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, because it does not need to. The brain-dead zombie masquerading as the President then mumbled something about how he wasn’t sure that we can take Putin at his word – even though every single action taken by Russia to date indicates no interest whatsoever in changing its actual nuclear posture.
The real reason we are seeing this madness, is because the West is essentially “projecting and mirroring”.
The reality is that the Western elites are in full-blown panic. Their pet projects are failing, one after another. They originally intended to use Ukraine as a way to destabilise and break up Russia, thereby allowing Western interests to take full control over Russia’s ENORMOUS energy resources. That would fulfill the neoclown wish to ensure that Russia could never again challenge American hegemony.
They also wanted to destabilise China, India, and the rest of the world’s rising powers, to keep them all cowed and terrified, unable and unwilling to resist the pressures of Western neoliberal hegemony. They simply assumed that the Western way of doing things was, and is, the ONLY way.
But the rest of the world isn’t interested in playing along. As we have seen, the Russians have been able to resist the neoclown project very successfully, and their patient, long-term strategy of simply grinding down the entire West in the killing fields of Banderastan is now paying off.
China also clearly is not interested in playing along. I do not like or approve of the Chinese system, at all – I would never want to live in China or under Chinese hegemony in any way. I respect their culture, but I also despise quite a lot of things about the CPC’s system of governance. Yet, it is clear that China can and will chart its own course, free of American control, in Asia, and will generally do so through economic agreements, trade, and diplomacy.
Make no mistake, none of the actors here are entirely benign. The CPC is quite happy to engage in debt-trap diplomacy – they do it better than the Western powers ever did. But, who can blame them? The Western powers tried, 200 years ago, to conquer China and break it up, and they very nearly succeeded. Is anyone surprised that the Chinese, coming from a 5,000-year-old culture, learned from their tormentors and turned the tables against them? Cultures do not last that long without learning a thing or ten from successful enemies.
The tangible panic of the Western elites contrasts sharply with the calm, reasoned, even optimistic and jovial tone taken by world leaders from the rest of the world powers. China, Russia, India, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and other powers, are doing quite well building their own relationships with each other, forging ahead with alternative models of economic development, and investing in their own economies without Western interference and “advice”. None of these economies is without problems. But they all accept and understand that the Western neoliberal model is not necessarily the only path forward – and good for them.
The cognitive dissonance of the Western elites will therefore become worse with time. As reality diverges ever more from their rhetoric, they will have to choose whether to face that reality, or double down on their rhetoric – because facing the truth would be too painful by far, and too dangerous to the power and status of the elite classes.
It is not difficult to predict which the Western elites, used as they have been for so long to being powerful and rich and in control, will choose.
Right, that’s about enough philosophising for one day. It’s been a damned long and busy week – went by really fast, though. You’re actually here because it is a Friday, and that therefore means a lady to close out proceedings so that we can all get on with the serious business of drinking and sleeping.
This week’s lovely lady is Zara Hedges, age 25 from Australia – and please note that around here, whenever we mention ‘Straya, we are contractually required to mention that EVERYTHING IN AUSTRALIA WANTS TO KILL YOU AND EAT YOUR EYEBALLS FOR JUJUBEES!!! That includes the women, so be careful what you poke with any given stick Over There. As for what she does – no clue, and can’t be bothered to find out, since I’ve been drinking a Trooper beer (yes, seriously, IRON MAIDEN actually has its own beer brand, and it’s actually quite good) and that stuff is pretty strong.
Happy Friday, gents, and enjoy your weekends. Don’t fall for the rhetorical devilry of the Western word-wizards. The reality is that they are losing, and they know it damned well.

I tried an Iron Maiden beer years ago and it tastes a lot better than any mainstream beer that I ever drank before.
I’m not 100% convinced that is an actual woman and not a rendering of a 3D model. If she is real then she has an extreme amount of plastic and or photoshop applied. Especially the legs and the skin bends at the hips look artificial. Also several other tiny things that just give me that uncanny valley effect.
