I. Lies About Russia
The purpose of false narrative is to facilitate lies. Lies about Russia enable the false narrative about Russia.
Lie #1: Russia is a small economy.
Purpose of lie: Russia cannot resist the West (ie progress). Russia cannot be allowed to bully its neighbors (ours is a 'rules' based system, lol). Russia's gain shrinks the global economy and makes us all poorer.
Truth: Russia is the world's number three industrial economy after China (#1), and the USA (#2).
Lie #2: Ukraine is a sovereign nation.
Purpose of lie: Exploit the Russian civil war to take offensive action against Russia with Ukrainian proxy. Any nuclear weapons use would damage what Russia seeks to reconquer. NATO believed it would be easy to defeat Russia in conventional war if it could be set up so Russia didn't use their nuclear weapons.
Truth: Ukraine was never sovereign. Ukraine was the most corrupt nation in Europe even before the war. The only reason its government and economy continued functioning was because of massive subsidies from NATO aligned countries. 2014 was a coup.
Lie #3: Russia can be defeated in conventional war.
Purpose of lie: Manufacture consensus with an American public that is rightly scared of direct conflict with Russia.
Truth: Russia spends more on its military and its military is stronger than the United States. Russia is an expanding military power and America is a declining military power. The Ruble's Purchasing Power Parity should be 26/$ so Russia's GDP is actually $5.3 trillion. Its military spending is 25 trillion rubles, or almost $1 trillion dollars.
Lie #4: Russia is suffering more casualties than Ukraine.
Purpose of lie: To embolden the Western public into accepting potentially suicidal war.
Truth: Russia's Russian Federation troops are 8 times more effective than Ukrainian counterparts bolstered with NATO forces. NATO seeks to conflate Russian casualties with Wagner, Donetsk, and Luhansk regular casualties. Lumping in Donetsk and Luhansk casualties also conceals Ukrainian state-sponsored violence against ethnic minorities. This ignores that Ukrainians are Russians. By moving the KIA to Russia, these are not citizens who were attacked by their own government. They are now 'Russians.'
Lie #5: Russia lacks the money to pay for the war.
Purpose of the lie: Keep the war going. Russia seeks to perpetuate this lie so that NATO forces can continue sending forces into Ukraine to be destroyed. NATO seeks to perpetuate this lie so NATO citizens don't get demoralized realizing that Russia is in better financial shape to fight a long war.
Truth: Russia's actual budget is about double its official statements. One need only audit historical budgetary data to see that Russia is currently lying about the size of its budget.
II. Russian Strategy
Russia seeks neutralization of NATO.
This means normalizing Russia's status as superpower. International standards must acknowledge Russian interests. That can only happen with NATO capitulation. To do that, Germany must be split from the European Union. And in turn, the European Union must split from the Anglosphere.
Russia is adept at mirroring NATO strategies and creating strategic threats of its own.
Belarus can be used for both offensive and defensive escalations against NATO.
Russia uses asymmetric warfare to fight against the US.
Sabotage of critical systems shows that war happens more slowly than before and that espionage is as powerful as military forces. We are all enemy combatants to someone.
Even the mere writer has become a chess piece on the board (a pawn dreaming of becoming queen).
III. The New Political Economy
Decoupling economies will hurt global trade. Since China has benefited the most from global trade, it will be the most hurt by this paradigm. Dedollarization can only work if there's a substitute.
Europe is running out of options as its Ukraine war gambit fails. Russia's Ruble works just fine. It is the Yuan that is in trouble.
Russia has cash, commodities, arms, self-sufficient industry, and virtually no debt. China has an entire manufacturing base dedicated to serving the Western markets that just cut it off. China also has rising dollar debts and a weakening currency.
Totalitarians have checks and balances too. When discussing America and Russia, de Tocqueville is too often cited, and Montesquieu, not enough.
Is that because Americans don't want to admit our system shares key similarities to the 'evil' Russian system? Russia runs on heavy industry and burns fossil fuels. America runs on geniuses...
… and burns normies for fuel.
You might not be interested in San Francisco, but San Francisco is interested in you.
Our ignorant, aggressive Karens are out to start shit they can't finish.
Because they are dupes of anti-human forces that exist to impoverish everyone and reduce us all to the homeless. Only then can we begin to have rights again, because we will have nothing else that can be taken from us.
And even though the math shows that human talent is much more valuable, humans cannot be owned, whereas artificial intelligence can be. They would rather take all the electricity and capital plant in the world to run an artificial intelligence economy, rather than invest in humans who can easily outperform a mechanized AI economy.
The whole point is to demoralize the individual, so that you just surrender and let psychopathic forces take over everything.
