Soviet empire

Uh, I don't have the sense that they're committed in any meaningful way to starting a war against Russia, uh, in large part because the European countries don't have the military capability to initiate a war against Russia and defeat Russia.

But you wanna remember that since the crisis started in 2014, the crisis over Ukraine, and then the war broke out, of course, on February 24th, 2022, since then, and even going back to 2014, the European elites have been arguing that Russia is bent on conquering all of Ukraine, and then it's gonna try and reestablish the Russian Empire or the Soviet Empire in Eastern Europe.

Uh, so from the beginning, the Europeans elite-- the European elites have argued that the Russians are an imperial power, uh, with a huge appetite for conquest.

And what's happening now, Judge, is that it is quite clear to almost everybody that Ukraine is in desperate straits and that the Russians are going to win the war.

Even with the KGB, at least we've had some stuff come out like Mitrokhin Archives.

But that's also because Soviet Empire died, and people from within KGB were able to either leak stuff or write about stuff.

From R&AW, that hasn't happened.

Some odd dissident might have written something, but not of very high credibility and not that much has come out.

You're so cute.

Yeah, everybody else would like food in the Soviet Empire under Stalin.

Yes, people would like food.

There ain't no food on the shelves.

Well, the Arabs end up, ended up doing that, but, um, uh, at the time, it really was a struggle because the Soviet Union clamped down on, on Zionism to some extent.

Again, didn't affect their Jewish, uh, financial fortunes at all, um, there in, in, in, um, uh, in the Soviet Empire.

But, um, uh, there were, you know, legitimate trials against Zionism and all this, uh, and the Soviets were financing Egypt, Syria, Iraq, um, you know, uh, countries that have come under attack by the very same Jews, uh, many years later.

I think we should, uh, stop it right here.

There's no such entity.

I suppose the closest you can get is, you know, government workers.

There were still many nations within the Soviet empire.

So, you know, again, it's just self-interest.

He wants to restore the Russian Empire and it's ambitious.

He wants to take over other countries and expand Russia into what used to be the Soviet Empire.

And the big force that prevents that from happening is the Western Alliance, the United States, West European nations, NATO.

And so he's in on this plan, this operation to weaken the West for ten years or longer now.

But this mindset goes both ways, though, Anatole.

I mean, many Western hawks to this day say if Russia is not stopped, it will be hell-bent on taking other countries in the Baltics, Eastern Europe, before it sets its sight on Central Europe and revive the Soviet Empire.

Yes.

But, you know, I mean, this is so incredibly stupid.
