Africa, but not Europe, is demanding freedom to choose its alliances ~ilana

Treason, ongoing betrayal of the worst kind, is an apt metaphor for the relationship between the US government and its people ~ilana

Incongruously, Trump is to blame for reintroducing and normalizing Nikki’s wicked, in-the-bone marrow neoconservatism ~ilana

Putin And Africa: Trust a Brother to have the gumption to tell the sanctimonious Anglo-Ameri-European axis of evil to go … jump in the lake.

‘Uganda will not succumb to pressure from former colonizers in the West to turn against Russia, as longstanding bilateral relations with Moscow are too important,’ the Ugandan foreign minister has said. (Via RT)

The “colonizer” riff aside, Africa’s sentiments pertaining to the current Russia-Ukraine context are wonderfully apt:

America has “Cancelled Countries, and Killed the Ancient, Civilizing Concept Of Neutrality.” Africa, but not Europe, is demanding the freedom to choose its alliances. Bravo.

The Brothers are having none of the war-on-Russia deal.

Good for Jeje Odongo. I had already praised Cyril Ramaphosa for the same reason last year.

East Palestine, Ohio: Treason, ongoing betrayal of the worst kind, is the apt metaphor for the relationship between the US government and its people. Brazen criminal aliens in their millions are streaming into the country, being resettled and supplied with life’s luxuries. Residents of East Palestine, Ohio, were poisoned due to a chemical spill during a train derailment, rooted in the usual institutional rot this column has been detecting and documenting. Yet these white American residents are not aided and evacuated temporarily, but, rather, abandoned to the toxins

Have mercy, and go away, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. You are both dumb and dangerous. Incongruously, Trump is to blame for reintroducing and normalizing Nikki’s wicked, in-the-bone marrow neoconservatism during his tenure, having run against it.

READ, “How President Trump Normalized Neoconservatism.”

And didn’t warmonger Haley call for the removal of the Confederate Battle Flag from the state Capitol? Oh, yeah. Will it be full-bore war with Russia under a Haley regime? You bet.

Have we not had our fill of “Lies About Putin (Syria and The Alawite Alliance)” , which Nikki, with Lindsey and his Republican clones, will bang on about and hammer home, given a chance?

Go home, Nikki. The conservative base is hurting.

Get excited! Time for a new generation.

If she got a chance to bend it—Haley (hell no) would, moreover, certainly yammer in our collective ear about Black History Month, as the pigment burden is commensurate with Herstory.

According to this Afrocentrism, whites must remember that,

“White folks were cave dwellers when blacks were building empires and pyramids; teaching philosophy, astrology and mathematics. ‘Socrates and the Greeks were mere copycats, aping black civilization.”

Or, so claimed Al Sharpton.

And, hey, what’s the big deal about making history palliative rather than factual, if, as my friend Collin Flaherty would have mocked, it makes the black kids less angry?

No thanks, Nikki.

Part I is “Helping The Sharpton and Obama Afrocentrism ‘Fade to Black.’”

Lousy Lithuania Blockading Kaliningrad Could Be A Catalyst For World War Three

Russia will have to intrude into NATO territory to feed its people in Kaliningrad. NATO, doing Uncle Sam’s bidding, could then invoke its Article 5 obligation to, one and all, galvanize against Russia.

On July 28, 1914, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia pursuant to the killing of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife by a Serbian nationalist in Sarajevo, thus effectively starting the First World War.

Americans, aside some asses who may rot in Russian jails as prisoners of war, have not gotten as worked up about Ukraine as the neoconservative, neoliberal and the ConOink laptop bombardiers have wanted them to.

But Lithuania’s partial blockade of Kaliningrad—“a Russian sovereign territory on the Baltic Sea, sandwiched between Lithuania and Poland,” and thus reliant on these EU neighbors, also NATO members, for overland shipping of essential supplies—might just constitute a provocation like the one that ignited WWI.

This is the case because Russia will have to intrude into NATO territory to feed its people in Kaliningrad. NATO members, doing Uncle Sam’s bidding, could then invoke their Article 5 obligation to, one and all, galvanize against Russia.

Via ZeroHedge:

Ahead of the new Lithuanian transit ban taking effect, the state railways service was reportedly awaiting final word from the European Commission on enforcing it:

The cargo unit of Lithuania’s state railways service set out details of the ban in a letter to clients following “clarification” from the European Commission on the mechanism for applying the sanctions.

Previously, Lithuanian Deputy Foreign Minister Mantas Adomenas said the ministry was waiting for “clarification from the European Commission on applying European sanctions to Kaliningrad cargo transit.”

Brussels then ruled that “sanctioned goods and cargo should still be prohibited even if they travel from one part of Russia to another but through EU territory,” according to Rueters/Rferl.

In Moscow’s eyes, this is tantamount to laying economic siege to part of Russia’s sovereign territory and one million of its citizens. When the EU first proposed the blockage of goods as part of the last major sanctions package in early April, Kremlin officials warned of war given Moscow would have to “break the blockade” for the sake if its citizens.

BREAKING: NEW COLUMN: It’s Biblical, Zelensky: A Leader Who Fails To Haggle For The Lives Of His People Has Failed

Critical thinking is not in the American bone marrow. A decade or two must first pass, during which only the “mute-button pundits” get to mouth received lies. We’re currently suspended in that phase with respect to Ukraine and its mythical leader. But in the unlikely case that my readers suddenly doubt my instincts—I’m pleased to report that in Ukraine, there are already rumblings against lionized leader Volodymyr Zelensky.

This from the impeccable reporters of the leftist Economist: “… she and her colleagues were lulled into a false sense of security by Volodymyr Zelensky’s urging that life should carry on as normal, and by the inaction of the Ministry of Culture. ‘It was all, ‘Don’t mention the war’, says another art historian; ‘basically, they screwed up.’”

That’s in the spirit of my NEW COLUMN, “It’s Biblical, Zelensky Is A Failed Leader,” which appeared on WND.COM, The Unz Review and The New American.

Excerpt:

… To normies, a leader who doesn’t plead for the lives of his people is a failed leader. Diplomacy, negotiations, a cease fire: that’s the nomenclature clear-thinking people ought to wish instinctively to hear when they see the immiseration of Ukrainians and their cities. To my knowledge, not before the war and not now has Zelensky initiated, or partaken in, or been urged to pursue serious, high-level talks with Putin.

And while there is some indication that Zelensky might be inching closer to acceding “neutrality for Kyiv and security guarantees for Moscow,” publicly, Zelensky has done nothing but snarl his contempt for Russia, roaring at the Kremlin to “hold peace talks now or suffer for generations.” This is not diplomacy, but yet more political posturing and provocation. (But then Zelensky, an actor, could be prepping to appear before the central, universal seat of asininity: Hollywood’s Oscars.)

The Hebrew Testament (though “Old,” it’s never out-of-date) is bedecked with examples of leaders pleading, even bargaining, for the lives of the Stiff-Necked People. Abraham haggled ingeniously with The Almighty over Sodom and Gomorrah. Queen Esther petitioned mighty King Xerxes (Ahasuerus) on behalf of Persian Jews, and Moses did the same for his enslaved people before Pharaoh. Another Hebrew has written that “he who saves you from war is better than he who sends you to war.” That’s what real leadership is about—uphold and fight for the people’s natural right to live peacefully. …

BREAKING: Finally, the cocky little guy, Zelensky, is scrambling to make diplomacy noises—could it be to cover his sorry ass at the eleventh hour? Via a source called NTD:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says a meeting between him and Russian President Vladimir Putin is needed to negotiate an end to the war, and that any compromise needs to be approved by a referendum. Meanwhile, people have started to evacuate from the Black Sea port of Odessa as Russian forces loom.

Note how Zelensky’s first instinct is to create a media record of his belated impulse to move in the right direction. Very slick. You’d think that after weeks of hell for Ukrainians—we’d learn that the president had already set up an open line to Putin. But no.

Zelensky’s diplomacy is still aspirational.

Oh, and in case you didn’t know where his heart lies: Over to Zelensky: “Justin Trudeau was one of those leaders who inspired me to join politics.”

The European Parliament’s Christine Anderson has some fighting words for Zelensky’s political muse: Trudeau, “You are a disgrace to any democracy. Please spare us your presence”. Watch. Listen.
What an eloquent, and powerful lady she is. If only the Deplorables of America had such representation.

#Trudeau, "You are a disgrace to any #democracy. Please spare us your presence" here in the #EuropeanParliament.
What a eloquent, and powerful lady is #ChristineAnderson. Please will you represent the #Deplorables of America, too. ?? https://t.co/Bgo39PojXF
