Compilation of most petty & absurd anti-Russia measures

Post by Niemand »

Compilation of the most petty anti-Russia measures, from Disney+ removing Anastasia from its streaming services to Putin having his black belt in taekwondo removed to Russian football teams being taken off as an option on computer game.
This is Youtube. How long will this video remain up?

I think this is being done to demonstrate to Westerners how, if they step out of line, even as individuals, it is now standard procedure to inflict full cancellation on them.

This is absolutely correct.

Keep in mind that Russia is also against many of the modes of life that are being adopted by Westerners. This also plays a role.

If these people REALLY wanted to hit Russia where it hurts, it would be incredibly simple.

Ban Russian NATURAL GAS and OIL and source elsewhere.

That is Russia's primary cash cow. The current sanctions will only provoke the hate of the Russian people towards us, whereas the gas and oil sanctions would provoke the people against their govenrment.

Not really viable in most of Europe. Germany's already teetering.

Although it is notable that Gazprom the Russian company is sponsoring the European international club compatitions in football.

You raise an important point there for Europe. If only there was some way to get the oil and gas from the Middle Eastern countries...or for Biden to renege on having banned Keystone, Europe would have been able to better source the oil and gas from countries outside of Russia's sphere of influence.

I thought UEFA was going to eliminate Gazprom entirely. I know the Bundeliga club Schalke was going to change their sponsorship because their main one was Gazprom-Germania. The RPL is going to be severely impacted because of UEFA's new regs allowing foreigners on Russian teams to transfer.

Thank you for this thread. I understand Russia is a "evil" among many, but the absolute bias across the spectrum of all political views on this topic is hard for me to watch. No one would tolerate Russia becoming friendly and building up a presence with any of the United States' bordering countries. The west has exacerbated this situation with Ukraine, helping us reach where we are today. I say this without implying Russia has done nothing wrong. They have a country they want to protect, they feel NATO/the west and Ukraine are too much of an allied force for their liking as Ukraine sits right next to Russia.

If people really wanted to hit Russia...wipe out Wall Street...round up the shareholders of Vanguard and Blackrock starting with Henry Kissinger and put a guillotine to good use...

...and you will get China as a bonus with the same stone...the elite haven't dropped trillions over there for the past couple of decades for nothing...

Ford Motor Co has been in Russia since at least 1929...built Russia's largest automotive plant in Gorky in 1968 during the Tet Offensive and the height of the so called proxy war between the US and Russia...not to mention our military buying concrete from China to build our runways in South Vietnam...
There is a basic problem with power, even unlimited power.

I learned that in Vietnam. As a FAC, I covered chopper inserts into LZs that we wanted to control. We might have a Marine company loaded into a dozen or so CH-46s. The Birddog pilots would carpet-bomb the LZ in advance, and then provide fixed wing and gunship support as the CH-46s landed. One or two would always get shot down. The Marines would take the hill and for the next month or so send out patrols to where the NVA were suspected of hiding.

Over that month ten or twenty Marines would die and a bunch more would be injured. Then we would bring the CH-46s in to pick up the Marine company and bring them back to the Dong Ha combat base. These were always considered to be great victories on our part. The Division would report to Westmoreland about how many NVA were killed and so many weapons captured. Of course as soon as the Marines left the NVA marched right back in and took over the Marine bunkers and fighting position.

Then a month later we would repeat the exercise in every detail. Same hill, same Marine company, same number of choppers shot down and Marines killed. Do that three or four times and you begin to realize how the whole war was fake and nothing but a series of lies.

Europe would freeze without Russian gas and oil. And starve without Russian wheat and fertilizers. The US would be in some trouble too. And Russia already has markets in China and India, Iran and Syria and beyond, so will be fine without us.

If we are crazy enough to turn off the gas and oil Russia will just ditch the dollar and finally sink our debt-based economy.

The sanctions are already hitting the west, not Russia, already bringing shortages and talk of rationing in Europe.

In fact I think that was always the plan, probably the real reason the war happened, whoever was responsible for it.

And there's always the question - why should Russia be sanctioned at all for doing a tiny part of the bad stuff we've been getting away with doing for years?

When Putin expressed his concern about a growing neo-nazi influence in Ukraine which threatened ethnic Russians in the eastern sectors, he was treated as a crazy using such a claim to justify his military stance. Well...the more I look into the history of the Ukraine from the 1930's until the present, I believe there is reason for his concern. Global powers capable of using 'history' to manipulate planned outcomes is a luciferian game the Power Elite love to play.

2014 Kiev coup:
Image

Here a link to a 2014 NPR story recounting Stepan Bandera's influence in bringing nazism into the Ukraine during WWII; in that movements useful role in the 2014 Ukrainian coup; and may shed light on neo-nazism's continuing influence in bringing about the break-up of Russian power in the region.
https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/ ... odays-feud

Please, understand...Kiev is 600 years older than Moscow and was a political and religious center established by the Rus.
The Rus' people were an ethnos in early medieval eastern Europe. The scholarly consensus holds that they were originally Norse people, mainly originating from Sweden, settling and ruling along the river-routes between the Baltic and the Black Seas from around the 8th to 11th centuries AD

Curiously, Chrystia Freeland, the Canadian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance is a WEF Young Leaders product, who has her ancestral roots in Ukraine. Her family had very close ties to the nazi movement established by Stepan Bandera. Keep in mind, Freeland was the agent in charge of freezing personal bank accounts and crowd source funding operations.
http://coat.ncf.ca/research/Chomiak-Freeland/C-F1.htm

I have to wonder if she didn't personally 'hire' the insane hacker who gathered that pertinent information. Why wasn't Aubrey Cottle arrested on criminal charges?
https://rumble.com/vv6bco-notorious-can ... vesen.html

A photograph taken during a Toronto, Ontario demonstration just a week or so ago originally revealed Chrystia Freeland holding a black & red flag - representing the WWII Nazi collaboration against Russia. The photograph has disappeared with the red & black flag and was replaced with another in which she is waving the yellow & blue flag now being worn & flown every where.

Just like they did with donald trump & anyone who dared work for him, Doctors & Nurses who questioned Covid Script, and the Canadian truckers who waved flags and prayed for peace.

The only way we could have stopped this imminent train wreck would have been to have a country full of honest, moral, people, whom couldn't be compromised, who weren't blind to the conspiracy working against us to to destroy our freedom. We would of had leaders who understood the importance of maintaining self-sufficiency, so we wouldn't be overly reliant on a dictator for survival. We would have had people who said no to debt and money printing and all the other economic corruption that's resulted from a run away fed.

The Nazi stuff = controlled opposition.

The local politicans know they need to step in line...Cox wasnt the only Govenor to ban Russian Vodka (made in Lithuanian).

And the churches.

And the local news.

Did you catch the ksl story of a Utah ward youth group decorating their neighborhood with Ukrainian flags and learning the ulrainian anthem?

Anyway, the orders are coming down from someone, maybe soon that person will be revealed.

I realize this thread is meant to share the humor in our daily fear-spin as we transition from covid to Putin aggression as the next worst imaginable threat. Actually, what scares me most is how susceptible populations are in believing and accepting as true the daily propaganda tunes played by our highly sophisticated overlords on their Mighty Wurlitzer .

Here's a background to consider from an Hungarian emigrant to Canada. His is a history I am finding from older documents and reports that has a higher degree of credibility than simply, "Putin is the bad guy and Ukraine is his innocent victim".

And...he suggests an optimistic outcome for the rest of us by means of divine intervention working within & through the conflict. Give it a think.

Latest- a Quebec restaurant has stopped serving poutine.

Poutine is pretty much the national dish of Quebec.

Same thinking when the US stopped calling potato fries, ‘French fries’ because France wasn’t willing to commit troops to the Middle East after 911. French fries became ‘Liberty fries’. ‘French vanilla’ ice cream became ‘New York vanilla’.

Agreed, it's moronic. The US got its independence partly because of French naval involvement which tipped the scales in the American Revolution. Even that film the Patriot acknowledges that. The Statue of Liberty is a commemoration of it.

A lot of German names got changed during the two world wars... for example (Luke will be aware of this), we still talk about Alsatian dogs. To most of the world, they're known as German shepherds, but they got "rebranded" due to the war. Like the British royal family Saxe-Coburg-Gotha -> Windsor, and Battenberg -> Mountbatten.

Wetherspoons have said they've stopped serving Russian beer. I've been going to their pubs regularly since the mid-nineties - back before I was baptised and when I used to drink, but I still buy beer for other folk from them.

Here's the thing - I never even knew they had Russian beer in the first place!!! They didn't exactly promote it well.

As to ‘Russian vodka’, it is a fact that most vodka bottled under a Russian name here in the US is made from waste left after GMO corn distillation into ethanol. The mash is used by vodka bottlers to be further distilled into a final very toxic product. I always thought Russian vodka was made from potatoes or turnips.

^The Gazillion Dollar question.

Generally, media is not to be trusted - never more obvious than scripted PSY OPS like covid bs: https://youtu.be/Bfu_RIdGT2A

Those in charge of media etc., want people to turn against each other for THEIR gain. We need to carefully identify the REAL enemy, rather than the portrayed ones.
