I’ve met some American political commentators who’ve described themselves as “paleo conservatives”. This includes Paul Gottfried and Peter Brimelow. They were active in the 70s and 80s. One comment they made in passing stuck with me. At the time, the victory of communism over the relatively free West seemed inevitable. They thought they were putting up a good fight out of obligation, but would eventually lose to the rising tide of communism.

Among the books I reviewed on my Youtube Channel was “Total Resistance” written by a Swiss Major, and describing a plan for resistance in case of a communist take over. How many people today have the sense that this was a looming fear in Switzerland in the 1950s?

It saddens me that what was then a pervasive feeling is lost to history.

And then one day, the Soviet Union collapsed.

Today, Russia has the same systems and philosophies of propaganda. Let’s look at some of their recent talking points, all of which are prodigiously repeated in the West by the Kremlin’s lackeys and useful idiots.

“Western weapons won’t make any difference”

“Ukraine will collapse within 72 hours”

“Kherson is Russia forever, and Ukraine better accept reality”

“Western air defense/missiles/tanks/jets are too complicated for Ukraine”

“Ukraine’s resistance will trigger WWIII”

“HIMARS will have no effect on Russian logistics”

“Ukraine cannot challenge Russia in the Black Sea”

“Russia is about to take Kharkiv”

“Russia hasn’t really started anything yet, it uses barely half of its power”

“Ukraine and Europe will freeze to death without Russia”

and now….
