why we need another six years of montesquieu-putin…..It was at a grand military awards ceremony last December that Vladimir Putin told the Russian public he would stand for the presidency for a fifth time. Voting is now taking place over three days until Sunday, even though the result is not in doubt as he has no credible opponent. At last December's solemn event in one of the Kremlin's most opulent halls, Russia's leader of 24 years had just handed out top honours to soldiers who had taken part in Russia's "special military operation" in Ukraine. He was chatting with a small group of participants when the commander of a pro-Russian unit in Ukraine's occupied Donetsk region approached him. "We need you, Russia needs you!" declared Lt-Col Artyom Zhoga, asking him to run as a candidate in Russia's forthcoming presidential election. Everyone voiced their support. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68505228
IT MAY NOT HAPPEN…. THE AMERICANS ARE DOING ALL THEY CAN TO PREVENT ANOTHER FOUR YEARS OF PUTIN. In the same push the Establishment is caught between having to nominate a senile liar versus a clown as President of the united state of poopooland… mad.
“The Conversation” — that august middle of the road fascist news outlet and philosophical dunny introduces us to the Montesquieu Letters from the Middle East (1721), back then in 2021, as if they were relevant to the future necessary destruction of the Palestinians, by Bibi — the modern Moses, with guns rather than tablets….
Montesquieu was far more than this weird Persian analysis of sand dunes, but Putin is far better than Montesquieu… Mind you, we live in the age of annihilation, while Montesquieu lived in the age of Enlightenment…
The age of Enlightenment had two branches: The philosophical emancipation of understanding in Europe and the Mercantile Fascism (MONEY RULES) in mother England. Apparently, Montesquieu had an influence on the fathers of the American Constitution — BUT as some rainbow wavers complain these days — why not birth-giving people, or some gay/lesbian/trans influencers selling you the concept of Bud-Light, signing off on the immemorial document?....
So, despite being vilified by the Western boofy-shit-heads, Vladimir Putin is up there with the best social constructors the planet ever had east of Berlin. He would make Charles Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu, green with envy.

GUS LEONISKY IS AN OLD CARTOONIST, SINCE 1951, WHO HAS NO QUALIFICATIONS WHATSOEVER (AND DOES NOT WANT ANY, PLEASE).... BUT:
GUS LEONISKY WOULD SAY THAT PAUL DIBB IS LYING IN HIS LECTURE... THIS IS ONLY A SMALL POINT BECAUSE PAUL TOLD A LOT OF TRUTH AS WELL... THE MAIN POINT IS THAT HE HAS NOT UNDERSTOOD THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RUSSIAN AND UKRAINE, HISTORICALLY, NOR OF THE PEOPLE LIVING IN BOTH COUNTRIES... OR TO A POINT HE UNDERSTANDS, BUT HE HAS TO PLAY THE GAME OF THE EMPIRE... SO PAUL DIBB TELLS HALF-TRUTHS AND BIG PORKIES. WE CANNOT GO AND EXPOSE THESE INDIVIDUALLY BUT PAUL BASICALLY TALKED ACADEMIC SHIT...:
As Russia enters its third year of war against Ukraine, we need to ask: how will this war end? Let us firstly revisit Emeritus Professor Paul Dibb's ANU Public Lecture in August 2022 when he set out the reasons why he thought Putin went to war.
1. The catastrophic collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and Yeltsin’s recognition of a separate country called Ukraine.
2. Putin’s belief that there is no such country as Ukraine.
3. Putin’s view that NATO’s expansion to the borders of the Soviet Union is an act of aggression.
4. Ukraine’s ambition to be a member of NATO is seen by Putin as a first-order strategic challenge to Russia.
5. Putin has now proclaimed a new strategic threat: the West is seeking to destroy Russia and Russia is now fighting for its “very survival.”
After revisiting these accusations, let us examine first, how the military fight is changing and what its prospects are for winners and losers; second, what are the possibilities for a ceasefire and negotiations aimed at an enduring peace; third, what are the risks of this war extending further into neighboring NATO countries; and fourth what are the implications for China’s attitude to using military force against Taiwan?
Finally, if the aim of the US and its NATO allies is to “defeat” Russia how will this be achieved against a country with 1500 strategic nuclear weapons? And what would a defeated Russia look like? A Weimar Germany? Or can we conceive of other outcomes under a new Russian leadership?
PAUL DIBB LIVES IN DREAMLAND (NO WONDER: HE LIVES IN AUSTRALIA) ....PUTIN, OF ALL PEOPLE IS THE MODERATE IN RUSSIAN POLITICS... ANY OTHER DUDE WOULD HAVE BOMBED PARIS, WASHINGTON AND BERLIN FOR FUN... I'M JOKING HERE... BUT WHEN PAUL DISMISS THE REALITY OF NAZIS IN YUCKRAINE, ONE HAS TO SIT DOWN TO SEE PAUL DIBB AS AN EMPIRE BOY, DOING THE EMPIRE BIDDING WITH AN ACADEMIC BAZOOKA....
AMERICA HAS VOWED TO DESTROY RUSSIA, SINCE 1917. AMERICA HAS VOWED TO DESTROY CHINA SINCE MAO.... PUT THIS IN YOUR LITTLE HEAD, PAUL...
OKAY... IN REGARD TO: 2. Putin’s belief that there is no such country as Ukraine. PUTIN IS CORRECT: BACK IN 1922, STALIN RESENTED THE "GALICIANS" FOR TRYING TO SECEDE FROM THE USSR. HE ADDED THE DONBASS (RUSSIAN PROVINCES) TO THE UKRAINIAN CONGLOMERATE TO COUNTER THESE INSURRECTIONS. IN 1954, KRUTCHEV ADDDED CRIMEA TO UKRAINE FOR BEING A GOOD COMMUNIST ENTITY, WITHOUT APPROVAL OF THE DUMA. THE DONBASS AND CRIMEA ARE RUSSIAN PROVINCES POPULATED BY RUSSIANS. AS THE WEST, VIA THE NAZIS IN KIEV, HAVE TRIED TO PRIZE AWAY "UKRAINE" FROM THE RUSSIAN INFLUENCE, RUSSIA IS TAKING BACK ALL THE RUSSIAN PROVINCES, THAT HAVE MADE THE POINT TO JOIN BACK THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION — WHETHER PAUL DIBB LIKES IT OR NOT...........
FOR THE REST, NATO IS A LYING FASCSIT ORGANISATION THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN 1991.

SO PAUL DIBB'S LECTURE IS JUST A BIT OF NASTY FLUFF... PUTIN IS SMARTER THAN YOU EVER WERE, PAUL... TO SOME EXTEND HE MAKES YOU APPEAR LIKE A LYING IDIOT...
HOW WILL THIS WAR ENDS????
MAKE A DEAL PRONTO BEFORE THE SHIT HITS THE FAN:
NO NATO IN "UKRAINE" (WHAT'S LEFT OF IT)
THE DONBASS REPUBLICS ARE NOW BACK IN THE RUSSIAN FOLD — AS THEY USED TO BE PRIOR 1922. THE RUSSIANS WON'T ABANDON THESE AGAIN.
THESE WILL ALSO INCLUDE ODESSA, KHERSON AND KHARKIV.....
CRIMEA IS RUSSIAN — AS IT USED TO BE PRIOR 1954
A MEMORANDUM OF NON-AGGRESSION BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE USA.
EASY.
THE WEST KNOWS IT.
