For much of the world’s media, reporting fact from fiction and hoping fantasy becomes reality continues to manifest as a long-running comedy.George’s Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.
Behind NATO is the USA expansion and militarism that used Ukraine as a proxy war against Russia. I feel sorry for the people of Ukraine and Russia they have to pay for this war.
I'm sick of this. The double standards of the west and its craven media are appalling. The promise made to Gorbachev about no NATO expansion has been repeatedly broken, and intentionally provocative, as boasted about by Stoltenberg, or Battenburg, Bourbon or whatever that idiot NATO chief's name is. I'd like to know if there's a history of Russian written for English readers that isn't biased. There are still far too many westerners who have fallen for this Russia bogeyman nonsense (many still believe Russiagate, of course, despite it being proven thrice to be a {criminal} hoax), and they continue to swallow the BS while very bad people - "our" people, supposedly - have taken us to the very brink.
Sorry, dear and valued geopolitical analyst George Hazim. You get much right on the Muddle Eastern early part of this piece. However, IMHO you've buried the lede way down in the thin motivation you lay out for Putin et al's original Soviet-styled Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Your lede 'graph should be your 7th 'graph that follows a caricature of the tactical Putin that was way more respectful than he deserved by tearing a page out of the ol' USSR Imperial playbook. The low-brow and high-brow US journalism multi-media Mighty Wurlitzer (as the CIA referred to its Post WW II Agit Prop machinery that did help bring down the Imperial USSR along with the Afghani boondoggle and bloodbath the U.S. Imperial machine in Washington had to get into.
From your writing which is middle brow if misguided IMHO, there is no more motivational beef on the bones here as I've found going over and over the NYT, Chicago papers, Neo-Con bid-net Business Wall Street press and indie foreign affairs journals overflowing with Latin letters accredited analyses that also lacks a clear motivational path in Russia's attempt to desperately claw back the biggest of the post USSR and current Russian Federation line-up once Grand Larceny and Fraud Capital of the highly Fraud Competitive Caucasus to Eastern Europe muddy borderlands and Baltic ports where the Baltic states current all-in to desperately keep out the Russkies is impressive if under-valued from the Washington Perspective of last few decades' versions of rapidly changing Eastern Euro borderlands and the interface with Russo Neo-Reactionary version of Daddy Warbucks, the perma militarism industry to salve lack of industrial and sustainable working masses job creation.
Better luck with your next looksee at this admittedly confusing motivational attribution scheme in-between the resumption of Cold War. I also suspect the wave of Kremlin targeted hits on the sole political opponent to Putin, Candidate Navalny along with many hits on Russian

Cold warriors like Putin and our western Daddy Warbucks military industrial complex seem equally baffled on where or how to move given the de facto independence of vast and fertile Ukraine from the Russian Federation.

Putin won't soon be a neighbor to the South of France oligarch retirees like Washington's Baby Doc Duvalier clientele. No photos of Putin or his top eggheads and strategic aides cavorting with that Epstein cat on luxury yachts built to spec by oligarchs of US, Canada, EU and Latin America. Putin's got more skin in the game than any U.S. leader whether military or political.

I had a good laugh yesterday with regard to Cutting off LNG to Europe.
Alexander Mercouris on the Duran gave a really good insight to this.
Europe will tell everyone that we will not support Gas from Russia.............neglecting to say that it will still be importing gas through Qatar (it will be Russian gas) which of course more expensive. Then there is Turkey (Istanbul) which has a Russian gas pipeline. Providing gas to Europe. It definitely is a comedy show.
Meanwhile here in the benighted UK energy prices are about to go up again, as a special New Year kick in the teeth from our roving and ludicrous PM Starmer and his gang.
The colonial West has perfected Fascism and re-branded it as Democracy. BUT it is very difficult to fool even an apathetic and distracted citizenry permanently without making up more and more bizarre propaganda.

Thank you Mitch - I’m always up for learning.

Worth reading this interview on u-tube.
As for the EU........dismantle it immediately.
Meanwhile here in the benighted UK energy prices are about to go up again, as a special New Year kick in the teeth from our roving and ludicrous PM Starmer and his gang.
Same as Europe.
All the more reason for Europe not to support Ukraine, never should have in the first place.
The colonial West has perfected Fascism and re-branded it as Democracy. BUT it is very difficult to fool even an apathetic and distracted citizenry permanently without making up more and more bizarre propaganda.

Good analysis. I try to keep up on all the deceptions.
Exactly
Unfortunately, there’s a very sad formula at play here.
PEACE = HARD
WAR= EASY
Nurturing peace demands greater courage and skill than perpetuating conflict.
