RUSSIA'S WAR ON ITSELF

[Lauren Johnson]

What's so compelling about this narrative that you find so compelling? The early on peace deal that got scrubbed by the West (of course) hardly seems worth the attention that they are giving it, IMO. Unless, again, I'm missing the boat somewhere along the line. 

 Thanks for working through this material.  You raise the central difficulty I was having in making a quantum transition to a new paradigm.    From 2014 on, most of my perspectives game from Gleb Bazov (Slavyangrad), Nina Byzantina, The Saker, and Russell Bentley.  I read and watched the names you mentioned over the last few years.  I have used Slavyangrad on the Telegram app for info.
 
So what led me to the quantum transition which meant I had to disregard the prominent names you mention?  I reconnected with Russell Bentley on vk.com.  He put up a couple of shocking posts that Russia fact was losing the war and that the war effort was being betrayed by Russian oligarchs.  The next shocking event was Putin's speech to an African peace delegation revealing that the SMO was almost ended in March, 2022 by withdrawing from most of the captured lands in exchange for a Ukraine promise not to join NATO.  He really was going to do this!!  At this point, I felt completely gaslighted over the last nine years.

At this point, reading comment on Russell Bentley, I moved on to Rolo and Slavsquat.  Why did I relie on Russell point of view?  He lives in Donetsk and talks with soldiers and commanders and has served on the front lines.  I had to take the jump into a very disillusioned world.  We really are being conned.

So there you are.  Good luck with your journey!
