As I posted before, I am not in a position to do much writing and can just post a few things.  But looking through my own research and back and forth about V. V. Putin, I have come to some hard conclusions and feel burdened to put them down.

Putin is “doing a Trump.”

He comes out of the same Russian Jewish Chabad matrix that Trump came from. He is as beholden to Chabad as Trump is.

That is their nexus, not some phony election-meddling charge.

Then again, like Trump, Putin is of Jewish descent, as has been believed for long. I thought these were just unproven rumors, but saw something more convincing recently.

Rabbi Yosef began by saying “according to the Jewish tradition, your leadership is decided by the kingdom of G-d, King of the world, and therefore we bless you: Blessed is the One who gave of His glory to flesh and blood.

Apparently, this manner of address to a national leader is reserved for Jewish leaders, not non-Jewish, who would have been referred to not as “flesh and blood,” but as creatures. It is of course possible that the reporting of the address is false and/or disinformation.

Putin supposedly is of peasant background, but the name itself is of a clan that has ties to European nobility, just as Trump and every other US president had.

That is the first issue, but for me it is by no means the important one.

It is Putin’s conduct of the war, the decision to intervene this year, rather than earlier, and his excessive deference to Israeli and Jewish sensibilities, that inclines me to think he is playing a deep game.

Unlike Trump, who I believe was played, Putin may be more sagacious and doing some of the playing himself.

Trump’s followers, or disinformation artists posing as followers were always chanting “follow trust the plan” and claiming Trump was playing 5th dimensional chess against his dimwit opponents. Each time he blundered or was caught out, they doubled up on the support. In Putin’s case too all we hear from staunch supporters is “everything is going according to the plan.”

Doesn’t the similarity of the words ring a bell?

The latest ambiguous and unnecessary “apology,” although likely spun that way by Israel, was left uncorrected by Mr. Putin.

I do believe that Putin will proceed against Israel in due course, driving Jewish Americans and many Israelis out of their countries, perhaps to Ukraine, which is now rapidly emptying of its native population.

Perhaps that was the reasoning all along, I cannot help but think.

I have never subscribed to the belief that Russia is at the head of some kind of global “resistance” to colonialism or imperialism.

The creation of an opposition to the American led West was always part of the globalist project. However, I had hopes that Putin was indeed acting in the best interests of his country and faith and was sincere in the counterpoint he offered to Western hegemony.  I am not so sure now.

Are Orthodox Slavs in Ukraine and Russia best served by this war?  Was there no other way?

I hope I am wrong but I wonder if this “resistance” is only an exercize in revealing to the powers that be where each person’s sympathies lie. Just as January 6, which Trump encouraged, swept thousands of Trump followers into the government’s net, this Special Military Operation may have helped to reveal those most antagonistic to  the globalist regime in the West and expose them to government retribution, via the DHS.

I supported Donald Trump after he was elected [not before], because his rhetorical assault on the globalist powers was invigorating and useful and he did do a number of good things in office, although many of them were later reversed by executive order by Biden.

I still think Trump was the best on offer and the best we have had in a long time.

In that sense , I also appreciate V. V. Putin.

But that said, there are just too many things amiss with this war for me to be sanguine that all is as it seems.
