Andrei Martyanov in his latest talking head answers some questions put to him by subscribers.

A quick summary: The West is going crazy because European purchases of oil are financing Russia’s war and there is nothing to be done about it; Poland will stop buying gas, but others will continue; the Russian economy is much larger than the West estimates and it is autarchic enough to withstand sanctions; the Eurasian market is colossal and dwarfs the European market and there is nothing the West can do about it; he is not going to say anything more about the Moskva until the MOD releases more facts; the US cannot defeat Russia with conventional weapons and will sustain losses larger than those of WW2 if it tries, so the chances are that such a face-off will make them go nuclear; the Jewish lobby has a tremendous influence on US policy but many neoconservatives are WASPS or of other nationalities, like the Polish anti-Russian  Brzezinski; the US still has some rights but the EU is completely totalitarian; it was Reagan who put the neocons in power.

On this last, I will post separately, because obviously Martyanov does not know the details of what happened, although someone like Paul Craig Roberts, who was a Reagan official, does. The neocons got in by stealth, infiltrating and blocking legitimate security vetting, one helping the other, in the SECOND half of the administration, when poor Reagan was already suffering cognitive decline. Nonetheless, Reagan too genuflected to the mafia, even making the birthday of  Menachem Mendel Schneerson [the Lubavitcher messiah] Education Day.
