Russian Troll Comments (Posting for future reference)

Found the comment here: http://www.hangthebankers.com/us-proposes-1-billion-in-military-and-lethal-aid-to-ukraine/

It was a reaction to Poroshenko showing Russian passports to prove (unbelievable that this is still debated) Russia has invaded Ukraine:

Germany EU Ukraine Diplomacy

All this talk about Russia as the aggressor and NEVER one shred of evidence. With all the lies about Iraq and their non-existent weapons of mass destruction, to 9-11 and the government’s explanation of events that contradicts the laws of physics, when are we going to stop listening to accusations and demand hard proof?

Recently, Poroshenko held up Russian passports that he claims PROVES the Russian military is invading Ukraine. Even if you didn’t know that active military personnel in Russia don’t have passports, only special military ID, Ukraine refused to give Russia a copy of those passports to check. I guess the idea was, believe my words but there’s no way I’ll let you check me. Can you think of any good reason Russia couldn’t have a copy?

Russia hasn’t broken any treaties or agreements. That honor belongs to NATO and the USA. Russia did honor a referendum in Crimea in 2014, just like Britain honored a referendum in March 2013 in the Falkland Islands.

In the meantime, America will continue dropping bombs on other countries and Russia will continue signing multi-billion dollar trade deals around the world.

Notice the all-American name.

The Russian Way of War — reverse Blitzkrieg, alternate reality, decay and demoralization

Russia does not do maneuver warfare. I’ve known a few cavalry officers who are probably looking at Russia’s performance in the east and licking their chops.

The reason Russia doesn’t do maneuver warfare is because they can’t solve the great prisoners dilemma problem that all militaries face.

(Every individual soldier is best off if everyone *except* him does their duty. Think of how Arabs are great raiders and opportunists but have trouble holding the line.)

Nobody solves the prisoners dilemma of combat as well as Europeans. Nobody. And Russians — at least their culture and their institutions — are NOT European.

They do what they’re best at. A sort of anti-blitzkrieg. They leverage their greatest ability which is lying. They use words (promises, treaties) to distract their enemy while infiltrating his institutions and gaining influence over dissenting political movements and alternative media.

They uphold the illusion of their own strength, even to the extent of silencing the families of their own fallen soldiers.

They use their networks to amplify the illusion of whatever false reality is most suitable to them.

They strive to create decay and demoralization in the institutions of their enemy and wait for opportunities. Like Arab raiders, they are very opportunistic.

They pretend to have a European style, maneuver army, but they don’t. Many times in history (including in the present war with Ukraine), their regular military served as a rear guard pressing reluctant, undisciplined irregular forces into the fight.

They don’t maneuver. Not much anyway. They can’t sustain a fight. They don’t have a flexible, efficient logistics system.

More importantly, they don’t have trust or idealism. They think everyone is out to get them, including their families and neighbors. This is so deep in their psyche, it’s like their metaphysics. It’s been observed many times in history. Here‘s a 19th century example. Russians don’t have good intention and they can’t even fathom how idealistic Westerners are. Everything is suspect. This nihilism is why they can’t cooperate on the level of Europeans. Without an armed rear guard, their military formations would disintegrate.

The Russian way of war is causing decay and demoralization (by lying their asses off), and seizing opportunities.

The only physical threat they pose to NATO is their significant nuclear arsenal.

Russian Deception — a song

RUSSIAN DECEPTION
—“As long as there are fools in this world.
It’s handy for us to live off deception.
How blue is the sky?
For a fool we need no knife!
Lie to him – three boxes worth,
And do with him whatever you want”—

A song from The Adventures of Buratino, a Soviet children’s musical film

Curt Doolittle: The Call of the Long War (with the help of Andrii Drozda)

http://zaxid.net/news/showNews.do?vikliki_dovgoyi_viyni&objectId=1339121&continueRegistration=true

Auto translated back into English (the original was never written down):

This winter Ukrainian finally realized that the war in the Donbas not be short. Diplomatic agreements are not met, the fighting continues at the front, and the country announced a new wave of mobilization of the armed forces.

The desire to end the war and the man in the street as soon as possible to return to a peaceful everyday life is easy to understand as well as the reluctance of many to go to the Ukrainian army. Ukrainians generally prone to emotional perception, so there is no shortage of excuses – of confidence in the government until the war obscure tasks in Donbass.

However, this justification does not help bring victory and remain essentially an attempt to solve the problem for others. Wealthy societies with high levels of trust differ from the Ukrainian case is that there citizens take responsibility and do not allow others to avoid it. In this situation, especially a shortage of scientists from the field of social policies that have eliminated unnecessary emotions in society and explained the pragmatic interests of Ukrainian war.

In particular, we do not notice that the war with Russia is the ability to alter in Ukraine, because Ukrainian soldiers of volunteer battalions after the war should be the basis for a new Ukrainian police and the justice system. The lack of a fair trial is a major problem in Ukraine, after the resolution of which can be taken to further changes, such as reform of the bureaucracy.

One of the illusions that have not yet got rid of Ukrainian, is the belief that the bureaucracy incapable of reforming itself. Many Ukrainian who have lost confidence in his native official, is the last hope of EU bureaucrat who allegedly able to control the Ukrainian reforms. However, in the last year helplessness EU issues increases among Ukraine Ukrainian doubt and skepticism about the ability of a united Europe.

In fact, officials have never reformed themselves – to see this just look at the examples written in the bureaucracy of Ludwig von Mises or Francis Fukuyama. Bureaucracy can be reformed only if fair courts and the penal system. For this reason the Ukrainian justice system are essential people who risked their homeland to protect their own lives. The more soldiers yesterday after the war will be in the Ukrainian police, the effect will be tangible.

So today Ukrainian men involved in volunteer battalions is an important prerequisite for a society of high trust. It is important to break the vicious circle of mistrust between government and citizens, paralyzing any attempt at development. Changing the system of law enforcement agencies and the courts, Ukraine has become a European prerequisites Canada, which is close to both population and mentality.

The long war with Russia will not prevent the implementation of these changes and eventually will end in victory for Ukraine. It should also be noted that the military campaign in the Donbas not the cause of the current economic problems in Ukraine, while the enemy is different: lost because of the war more than a hundred billion dollars, and the maximum margin Putin regime according to various estimates is about two years.

As a result of the war in the Donbas Russian economy and mythology suffer considerable losses, so can permanently destroy the Ukrainian imperial project without losing the chance to change the country. That volunteers from the front should be new sheriff patrol and who will monitor compliance with the law. No one seeks decent and just life in their country as much as a man who risked their lives for this country. So the heroes of war with Ukrainian help bring the force of law and justice, and as a result – to reform the bureaucracy and ensure a wave of investment in the country.

Curt on Russia and the West (wow)

NATIONALISM, TRADITIONALISM are one thing. RULE OF LAW is another, and TRUTH TELLING is yet another. Putin wants to expand Nationalism and Traditionalism using propaganda because they produce power, but he does not want Rule of law, or Truth Telling, because they constraint, limit, and in most cases, eliminate power.

Power is necessary in Russia, because like China – who must keep oppressing it’s conquered territories – Russia is a military empire. That’s because Russians have no ‘Cutlure’. There is nothing at all ethnically or culturally “Rus” in Russia. Russia is not of the clan Rus (Scandinavian) but of Muscovites, who spend long periods under despotic Mongolian rule, looked to the south to the byzantines and arabs for inspiration, and whose invading peoples brought with them Asiatic concepts of the evil in man – not greek concepts of man’s perfection and potential to sit among the gods. Russia (Muscovia) is a Mongolian and Tatar State steeped in Steppe culture that blends orthodox christianity and islamic Familialism, with Chinese deception.

With some work Peter the Great tried to move the Russian empire into Europa, and without Germany’s aggression at England’s seduction, might have completed the transition. But the largely Jewish postwar uprising that we call the Russian revolution, returned Russia to despotism, with Asiatic Lenin and Stalin joining Asian Mao as the greatest murderers in human history.

Thanks to the church, the Russian concept of interpersonal ethical action, is identical to the western. But the Russian concept of moral, cannot even IMAGINE the western man’s moral intuitions, nor his faith in one’s fellow man. It is unimaginable to a Russian that Western man acts primarily out of moral habit – moral tradition, and altruistic punishment[1] of those who do not observe it. Primarily because we have been both wealthy enough to afford to act morally, and because we were successfully able to use law and the church to enforce morality by punishment by law, by ostracization by the church, and by starvation by deprivation of access to land necessary for sustenance and survival.

The Russian does not pay for commons. He does not pay to punish. He does not pay to reward. He does nothing that is not in his direct interest. And he expects all others to do the same. He cannot imagine a world where we take as little as possible to one another and contribute as much to the commons as we can – unknowingly.

This is why authoritarian governments are necessary: commons are not voluntarily constructed, because all fear that any such contributions will be privatized by individuals, or corruption by the state. It is challenging enough to create a civic order such that we produce ethical man. But it is extremely expensive to create moral man – the man who neither externalizes costs into the commons, nor avoids paying for the commons, and instead, constantly contributes to the commons.

Western man is moral man taken to the logical extreme. This is why motivating the western man to neoconservative war is easy – by invoking and appealing to our instinct of altruistic punishment . Motivating the Russian to war, requires creating the feeling that he is under threat. He does not fight for moral reasons. he fights to steal, or to prevent stealing, but he does not fight for the common good.

This is the opposite of western man. Western man produces commons. It is our competitive advantage: truth telling, monuments, parks, civic architecture, civic organizations, arts, chivalry, the jury, and consensual government are commons unique to western man.

Yes, we are full of own folly – we still feel, as true Burkeian evangelism, that we must save the world from ignorance, mysticism, poverty, familialism, hierarchy and tyranny. And we cannot grasp, that like our light skin, hair, and eyes, our moral intuitions are recessive, and preserved only through biological and cultural selection and inbreeding.

Current emerging evidence suggests it is in no small part genetic. And that it emerged somewhere in the north of the North Sea – Baltic Region. That it emerged less than 20k years ago. And that it is a recessive trait, like intelligence, only sustained, and protected from regression against them mean by inbreeding.

Russians cannot imagine that western man operates by altruistic punishment – of paying high personal cost to build what he sees as the voluntary civic order. Even if we are unaware that our genetics and culture are a unique, fragile and vulnerable outlier possible only in and around the north sea, and that not only can the reset of the world NOT make use of our model, but that it is antithetical to them to conceive of a world in which we all contribute to the commons, rather than seek to contribute as little as possible and take as much as we can.

Russia(Muscovia)[2] and the West can both have Nationalism (advancing the interests of the extended family and tribe), and we can both have Traditionalism (the family as the central unit of society), but unless we wish to descend into Russo-Jewish brutality and Asiatic deception, we must retain what separates us from the west: truth telling, rule of law, the jury, and the civic society.

We already have had enough of Russo-jewish influence for one century in this world, and the Russian-sponsored Frankfurt school’s damage to our society through pseudoscientific propaganda remains with us like an intellectual cancer, destroying our people and our culture.

Love your people first. Defend the west from what the Russo-Jewish empire have done to us already with Marxism, Communism, socialist, postmodernism, progressivism. Russia is not a model.

Instead, raise arms, steel yourself for heady violence, and get into the streets, and start a revolution – for you and yours. Defend the west from the tyranny of the east. WE have done it for almost 5000 years, and now is not the time to surrender.

The best revolution is the one with the greatest volume of heady murder. A lot of killing is needed. A lot of killing must be done. And if we kill enough of them, then we will restore the west.

Deeds not words.

Cry havoc.

Kiev, Ukraine.

[1] “Altruistic punishment means that individuals punish, although the punishment is costly for them and yields no material gain. ”

[2] The only “Rus” are in Ukraine. Kiev was the founding city of the Rus (Scandinavian) peoples who created it as a trading post – largely for slave trading – with byzantium. The Mongols destroyed it and teh Muscovites tried to gain their narrative history by adopting the Rus history of Kiev as their own. This is Russia’s problem. They have no history to be proud of. No culture to be proud of. No civic mythos, and no common people to rally. They are a set of conquered peoples, despotic peoples ruled by despots in Moscow. The head of the Muscovite empire, won by brutality, held by brutality, and now expanding through postmodern lies and brutality.

Seems a lot of Russian Invaders died near Debaltsev

The Ukrainian army has adopted a new tactics of using baits to pull Russian terrorists out into open spaces and destroying them with the artillery and other long-range weapons, Russian military analyst Vladimir Golyshev writes in his blog.

“Immediately after the direct Russian invasion in August last year, the expert wrote that Ukraine’s purpose in this war was to destroy enemy’s military equipment and manpower. At some point, Russia will face the lack of both.

The Ukrainian army, for the first time in its history, held a successful defensive operation on a broad front showing itself to be fully capable in battle. After 8 days of fighting Ukrainian troops successfully repelled the Muscovite assault. The Muscovite army of mercenaries had attempted to destroy the Ukrainian defense in the Donbas and dramatically change the course of the war. The enemy was unable to achieve this goal and suffered heavy, possibly crippling losses. . . .

Ukraine’s Interior Ministry going after Aidar Battalion

http://www.pravda.com.ua/news/2015/01/30/7056904/?attempt=1?attempt=2

I’ve heard from four separate sources that Aidar has a couple companies fighting hard against the Russians, and several more who are criminals and marauders.

I’ve heard there are well over 50 investigations opened into people associated with Aidar, some of those war crimes.

Lastly, I heard that unlike Azov, Aidar hasn’t manage to control its membership. Little groups of hooligans have been banding together and calling themselves part of Aidar.

Russian POW says 70% of his unit criminals released from prison

“Army FSC” – shtrafbat for Russian criminals

On Sunday, January 25, near the settlement Sanzharivka Ukrainian military have captured tank driver, a citizen of Russia Federation, the inhabitants of Krasnodar region (Republic of Adygea).

As the gunman, he, with three convictions, was detained by the Interior Ministry in. Rostov-on-Don in place of another crime (theft of a car). Instead his release another prison term of Chief Police. Rostov-on-Don suggested thieves a month to go east to defend Ukraine “Russkiy Mir”. Then this citizen were removed from all charges and closed criminal case.

December 22, 2014 mercenary crossed the state border of Ukraine and the hit was held captive “service” the driver of the T-64 in one of the units “FSC army” in the Luhansk region.

According to GM, 23-25 January, he took part in the fighting against the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the vicinity. Debal’tsevo and the assault on one of the strongholds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was captured by the Ukrainian military.

Captive also said that as part of his unit is about 70% of Russian citizens in this way, killing Ukrainian abolish a prison term.

Understand the purpose of the Kremlin is simple – in one fell swoop to address three issues: clear the country of criminals, save themselves the need to feed and hold prisoners, and join the ranks of “Donbass residents” who “defend their land,” engaged in killings of citizens of Ukraine and destruction of infrastructure in the region.

Train Station Clerk Pauses for Cleaning Lady. Ugh

Train Stations are the worst. My life has gotten measurably better since I learned how to buy tickets online. Nevertheless, sometimes I still have to go to the station. Picture this:

Crowded. Long lines. Everyone is cranky. The cleaning lady pushes aside the clerk with her mop. The clerk first slides her chair back to accommodate the cleaning, then leaves her booth altogether and so the stone-faced hag with the mop can fishing moistening the floor with her dirty rag on a stick.
