Dealing with the important stuff

A year ago Phillips O’ Brien was just starting his historical whatever with nonsense swept up from the internet, MoD briefings and ISW posts; Trent Telenko was frantically scrubbing his genocidal rants from the internet; ‘Sushko’ was starting his Winds of Change grift (funny that this correlates with a certain Telenko domain) and John Spencer was advising Ukrainians to drink their own piss… and I was writing about special forces thinking they’re above the law - in an early draft of our book. A year later and we get the result of the Ben Roberts-Smith trial.

This earlier post contains excerpts which didn’t make it into the book.

Special soldiers, special training, special rules

Notes I made during writing our book.

Why did I cover this sort of subject in chapters about Russian genocide and war crimes? Because I wanted to show that even (especially?) the ‘elite’ will commit war crimes when they get out of control. This does not exculpate or mitigate the behavior of Russians murdering, raping and stealing in Ukraine. But it shows that soldiers love to go bad and easily do it. I could have written click-bait about nukes, or tires or other bullshit. It’s easy and cheap to do so and you get followers and earn money on substack. But I don’t do that. Because I’m a fool.

And speaking of fools, every person defending the scumbag sociopath SAS ‘warrior’ should listen to the judge’s judgment. The crimes listed are not the actions of a ‘hard man’ doing ‘the tough things’ ‘necessary’ to ‘keep people safe’. They are the actions of a SS war criminal sadist. Except he was Australian SAS.

Now imagine an alcoholic penniless subnormal IQ Russian conscript being told to deNazify Ukraine. I’m not being deliberately insulting here. If you’re a Russian conscript, you’re too stupid AND too poor to get out of service. Or if you’re a Filatyev, you’re already a sociopath dreg of society.

Update at end Westerners too often think that a Russian who is anti-Putin is a hero. The enemy of my enemy is my friend fallacy. They’re ‘the good Russians’. This is true for nationalist Navalny and was true for the ‘good Germans’ i.e. war criminal Slav hating lebensraum anti-Semite warriors

Putin has let loose his dogs of war on Ukraine.

And Philips O’Brien still doesn’t understand war and its dogs.

Book of the week

Buy it here. I’ve written about it before.

Putin is trying to breed a new generation of even more vicious and fascist dogs. His Putinjugend.

Video of the week

The ruling Russoagent-phile Polish party Prawo i Sprawiedliwość published a video appropriating my grandfather and the other millions of concentration camps victims to call people like me a Nazi because we object to them passing a law which even Putin would be ashamed off.

Did I say Russoagent-phile? Here’s the proof. The JANUARY 2022 meeting of the friends of Russia, including Le Pen and Orban. What happened a month later?

PS I forgot to add Budd of the Week yesterday, mostly because I was so tired after a week of bad health, mental and physical.
