See how easy it could have been? But the West pissed in it’s own bed…

In 2023 I wrote that it all could end swiftly. Yet, Ukraine even made it impossible for them to deal with Putin, by their own law…

The resolution of the Ukraine crisis could be achieved swiftly if the United States withdrew its support and the expansion of NATO was ceased. It is evident that the absence of American involvement would render NATO ineffective, and without the presence of the American military, the perceived threat diminishes significantly. Since NATO expansion is fundamentally linked to the origins of the conflict, it is difficult to envision a resolution through dialogue between Putin and Zelensky. – kKEETON…

Yet, as from the very beginning. The West, like an alley cat, pissed in everyone’s face and as now, unable to stop pissing. It is in their nature and even if you neuter an old alley cat, they still try to piss on everything around them…

But, neutering the West it must be…

WtR

Except there is so very little real analysis of the SMO…

All substantial analyses since the inception of the SMO highlight a fundamental issue: the United States, NATO and EU have not adequately acknowledged Russia’s security concerns regarding Europe. Initially, Russia warned that a breakdown in diplomatic efforts would result in the use of “military-technical means” to resolve the issues. The situation has not evolved, except for the deteriorating negotiating stance of NATO, USA, EU and puppet state of Ukraine. – kKEETON…

In the West, reality is perceived as a social construct…

This conflict illustrates that in the West, reality is perceived as a social construct and can be as you perceive, even if only in your imagination and no one else’s. While in Russia, it transcends that notion. Russia has witnessed firsthand the implications of social constructs and their eventual consequences, creating a significant divide between the two perceptions and that leads to understanding that there is only one truth and reality. That is that reality is not within the human head and or imagination. This misunderstanding becomes a defining characteristic, leading to tragic outcomes caused by social constructed societies. Consequently, Russia poses an existential threat to any esteemed figures and mentors in the West. Thus the Western Elites must confront the reality of their diminishing influence and their boss must start over, which is a challenging adjustment. It seems that power can be an addictive substance. – kKEETON…

Interesting news about Nord Stream 2…

EU collapsing without fuel? USA cannot supply fuel?

https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/nord-stream-2-agrees-debt-restructuring-deal-court-says-2025-05-09/

BERLIN, May 9 (Reuters) – A court in Switzerland said on Friday that Nord Stream 2, part of Russian gas company Gazprom, has reached a debt restructuring agreement with its creditors.

~~ Who would have thought that this would happen? ~~

Yup and yup and USA never had the fuel to supply, for fracking is so short term…

The USA and that Stupid “Freedom Gas” stupidity. The stupid is humans that fall for it…

and…

Panic time for USA, very low oil reserves, fracking junk oil only and war against the Eastern World looming…

Just some tidbit in my above links to WtR and I have hundreds more with tons of info about lots and lots to do with all that is happening in our world…

WtR

Even now Russia just tosses one thing at a time at the West and now is no exception…

Russia is testing Western intentions at this very moment and will do this again and again. The Eastern countries must see first hand what the West is really about…

This article below is what is happening at this very moment and Russia is always pushing the West at their own game…

Hmm, “curators” – a keeper or custodian…

WtR

About that Western Perception I talked about…

It is indeed reassuring to me that the political and military leaders in the West perceive Russia as significantly weaker in both economic and military capabilities. Their adherence to this self-deception will likely hinder their ability to recognize their own vulnerabilities and take substantial actions to alter the current circumstances as to helping themselves. – kKEETON…

Years later and the West still is clueless and that storm brewing will knock down that Western House of Cards…

Pakistan vs India?

I previously assumed that it was the US terrorists country, using special forces, CIA operatives who initiated the entire situation with gunfire reminiscent of Ukrainian tactics in the dead of night, with both parties attributing blame to one another. How naive of me…

~~ But now Trump claims greatest skills at getting India and Pakistan to be friends again. ~~

Oh, silly me…

The US terrorists country, using special forces, CIA operatives has initiated the entire situation with gunfire reminiscent of Ukrainian tactics in the dead of night, with both parties attributing blame to one another. – kKEETON…

WtR

Hmm, “curators” – a keeper or custodian…

Find the important word in what Putin says in second quote?

“We propose that the Kiev authorities resume the negotiations they interrupted in 2022 – to resume direct negotiations, and I emphasize, without any preconditions. We propose to start without delay next Thursday, May 15, in Istanbul,” Putin said.

and…

Thursday, May 15, in Istanbul, Putin said, “Our proposal is, so to speak, on the table. The decision now lies with the Ukrainian authorities and their curators.

Did you see the key word of what Putin says?

Hmm, “curators” – a keeper or custodian…

Russia says all the time something like this, “It is essential that binding agreements be executed to address all the previously mentioned issues.”

That means binding agreements with the complete West, whom is trying to kill Russia…

Now, I suspect that Russia knows that the West is full of crap and would never ever abide by what it says it will and has no intention of ever abiding by anything, but I will say again…

Russia! Listen to my words… The West wants you dead and they will “dance on your grave” and use your resources to destroy and reshape the world into it’s image and that image has no “God the Creator”. – kKEETON…

and yes… The ball is completely in NATO/USA’s court. Russia just keeps smacking that ball back again and again…
