And then, casually, almost as an afterthought while meeting Donbass heroes, Putin announces he will run for President again in next March’s elections. Considering his massive popularity – at least 80% nationally – he’s bound to remain in power until 2030.
Welcome to VVP-2024. Plenty of time for serial meetings with his dear friend Xi Jinping. The Russia-China strategic partnership – in charge of paving the road to multipolarity – is scheduled to be rocking more progressively than Emerson, Lake and Palmer in Tarkus (“Have you walked in the stones of years?”)
These have been heady days in dazzling, snowy Moscow. To start with, let’s go on a roll call of all those indicators which are being reluctantly admitted even by rabid NATOstan media.
A manufacturing boom is in effect in a semi war economy. Investments are up, up and away – including by dodgy Russian oligarchs who can’t park their funds in the West anymore.
Tourism is up and up – including legions of Chinese tour groups and everyone and his neighbor from West, Central and South Asia. There’s an oil and gas export boom – as EU clients continue to buy gas via Turkey or to the delight of New Delhi, Repackaged in India oil.
The yuan replaces the U.S. dollar and the euro.
Import substitution rules – while in parallel Made in Turkey or Made in China products replace Europeans.
Last January, the IMF was betting that the Russian economy would shrink by 2.3%. Now this outpost of the Treasury Department admits Russian GDP will grow by 2.2%. Actually it’s 3%, according to Putin himself, based on figures provided by the “Disrupter” (as described by a Western rag), Madame Elvira Nabiullina.
Behind the Moveable Feast’s curtains
I have been privileged to be part of key meetings on everything from the latest in the Ukraine-Belarus front to still secret, top-flight studies on the ideal mechanism to bypass the U.S. dollar in payment settlements.
A small group of us, invited by the International Russophile Movement (MIR), were treated to a detailed visit to the astonishing Sretensky monastery complex, defined by mega cool guy Larry Johnson as an unparalleled architectural jewel where one may experience “the palpable presence of God.”
Then there was the requisite ritual, long, languid dinner with a stunning Princess in unmatchable Patriarch’s Ponds – Moscow’s Soho; talking to the young, future generation planning a new ground-breaking think tank in St. Petersburg; the mesmerizing Russia exhibition at the VDNKh – complete with a four-story underground bunker built by Rosatom to highlight the history of the Russian nuclear program.
Yes: there are replicas of the supersonic TU-144, the K3 Leninsky Komsomol nuclear submarine and even the Tsar Bomba. Not to mention Gagarin’s rocket lighted as if it’s starring on a psychedelic trip.
The spirit of Christmas in on at Red Square – complete with skating rink and countless Christmas trees from every Russian region displayed at GUM.
Welcome to the true multipolar Moveable Feast; and in the era of genocide in every smartphone, unlike Hemingway’s time a century ago, that’s not exactly taking place in gloomy and fearful Paris.
Dialogue at the highest diplomatic level, coordinated by MIR, followed Chatham House rules: we may talk about the – priceless – information debated and disclosed, but identities and affiliations should not be revealed.
That allows us to stress a few crucial points.
High-level Russian diplomacy was stunned to discover that Europe was much more dogmatic than many believed. “A new generation” is needed for dialogue to resume – but that does not seem to be in the cards anytime soon.
Embassies should work as mediators. Yet that’s not the case – especially when it comes to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.
Russia will not (italics mine) initiate a diplomatic dialogue. A sense of threat is very real in Russia. Diplomatic channels conveyed this message to the Americans, behind closed doors.
On the wishful thinking by has-beens such as former NATO secretary-general Anders “Fogh of War” Rasmussen, bragging on blocking St. Petersburg out of the Baltic Sea: “This is something that may end up very badly.”
The abyss of NATO’s humiliation
Amidst what has been correctly described as “sovereign- organized hypocrisy”, there were glimpses of a possible united intellectual initiative between Russia, the Global South and a few dissident Americans and Europeans to steer the collected West into accepting multipolarity. Yet what reigns for now is what was defined as “dark patterns” – including a question still without an answer, posed by the gold, platinum and rare earth analytical standard, Alastair Crooke: how come the West was so supine to Woke-ism?
Much was learned about Russian adaptability to sanctions and the strengthening of the national character, parallel to the economy. So Nabiullina was right after all: no wonder Russians feel more self-confident than before.
Still there are no illusions when it comes to the multi-layered Hegemon-led Hybrid War: “Russia must be punished – and for many generations. Russians should know their place”. That mindset is not going away. So it takes a unified Russia under Putin and the Orthodox Church to fight something so “existentially serious”.
And then there’s the deep dimension of the Special Military Operation. What’s going on in the Donbass steppes is seen as a spiritual challenge as well. So the Hegelian spirit had to be evoked: people as a whole committed to victory – even more now as the Hegemon is completely freaking out staring at the abyss of NATO’s cosmic humiliation.
Considering all of the above, no wonder in each of my long walks in the middle of the Moscow night there was always a Milky Way of thought swirling by. Then I’d stop in one of my favorite digs, pour the last chilled vodka, and toast to galactic multipolarity. Far away but yet within reach.

It may be that Pepe doesn’t realize he has on rose colored glasses or he actually is as optimistic as he writes. Either way I cannot comprehend how rule by multipolarality will be any different than current unipolarality. New boss, same as the old boss. There’s a quote often attributed to Einstein, doing the same thing over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. If correct, the human race is collectively insane. It’s time to try a different approach, a voluntary system.

The supposed and only Western virtues – selfishness, racism, greed – are an incurable evil and today the world lives that reality with the spectacle of the ruins and the dead in Gaza.
Deaths that the same criminals recognize that 61% are of innocent women and children but brutality and fanaticism enjoy for now a cowardly impunity, money and even false honors.
But the worst of all this is that international organizations tremble before the bullies and do not dare to do anything, showing us their true face of being only part of the problem and without their own conscience, they only serve those who pay them.
But that was Nazi Germany inflated with nonsense until their time came.
The Jews understand that when your cult governs all these nations of the world, they must make it appear to their gentile subjects/slaves that there are some ‘sociopolitical differences’ between them (even though Jews & Commies occupy all the cabinet posts of these States like Russia/USA/UK etc) so they can stage coordinated ‘conflicts’ between them to advance their dialectical techno-Communist global agenda & exterminate whites in wars.
The same Commie ghoul has been President for the last 20 years in Russia & probably for six more via another rigged election. That’s some ‘democracy’ they have in Russia. They don’t even make it look legitimate, like the Yids do in America or Britain when they replace their Zionist-Commie puppet every 4 or 8 years with a new Commie or Christian stooge.
text revision: paragraph 2; line 3: “They don’t even attempt to make it look legitimate…”
After the Soviet Union disbanded, Europeans assumed that Russia would be welcomed into the European Union and possibly NATO. The United States blocked these attempts because it needed a villain to justify NATO expansion. It also wanted to break up the powerful Russian Federation so that it could never challenge the American empire again nor protect its vast natural resources from foreign control. The Russian Federation consists of 22 republics where Washington supports secessionist movements with the goal of destabilizing and ultimately dismantling Russia.

How can Christmas in Moscow be complete without Hollywood movies mocking Christ and white Christians nonstop from Thanksgiving through New Years—even less without Black Friday? Then there are the Jewish ad agencies’ TV commercials featuring stuff like greasy, unshaven Ashkenazi men dressed up as leering elves; Santas twerking at the disco; and, the implication of white genocide by exclusion from the scene.
And, let’s not forget Congress and the media celebrating the incineration of thousands of Palestinians because they’re not Jews this season of peace among men. Merry Christmas from America, Pepe.
I’d like to think Russia is great. But they force everybody to lock down and wear masks and accept vaccination/poison, too. So they’re just as bad as the US, and, actually, anywhere else.
Newsflash: they are all, and I mean all, crooks.
Jews stole that famous ‘insanity’ quote from some woman author’s book from the late 1970’s or 80’s & attributed it to this Einstein charlatan.
Do not forget who owns this world.
…5Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. 6“I will give You authority over all these kingdoms and all their glory,” he said. “For it has been relinquished to me, and I can give it to anyone I wish. 7So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”
So, who owns the ‘kingdoms of the world’. Obviously, He gives it to any one he wishes. The Kazhars took him at his word, and he complied, and gave it to his people, mentioned in Mathew 8:44.
Who runs his kingdoms, obviously, his children. So do not wonder why his people runs the world for him. We, humans are his slaves, remember this part in the matrix, “you were born a slave….”

Yeap, we are slaves, indeed. Just look at the people everywhere, controlled by what the see on TV, and doing what that TV tells them, who to vote for, what to buy, etc.
Escobar, you are a very gullible man. Many have made predictions based on the garbage coming out of Putin’s regime and have gotten burned for it. The stuff was simply a massive lie.
i love how the west likes to call putin a dictator, because he runs for reelection, nothing is ever said about the british system, where the p.m. can serve as long as his parties in power.
i am sick and tired of these western kleptocrats, that rig every poll and election and are “reelected” when they have a sub 40% approval rating, accusing vvp of their own crimes. this is putins true crime in the eyes of the west, making them look like the lying, thieving, psychopathic mass murders that they are. vvp, doesn’t have to rig polls or stuff ballot boxes, his people love him, for having transformed the russian nation and people back into an economic and military superpower in a mere two decades.
here’s the good news, the rapid pheonix like rise of the russian federation, is dramatically hastening the demise and destruction of this truly evil zioneocon empire. what would normally take decades to accomplish is happening in mere months. thankfully this will save the world from the horror of the new american century. hopefully the beast will be bled out, with halal techniques, so it can die quickly without freaking out, before it realizes what’s happening and tries to pull the temple down with it.
Nazi Germany was never inflated with “nonsense”, but with true patriotism… the victors write the history and it is filled with lies… here’s some truth:

The rise and stagnation of Russia’s economy during Putin’s tenure
Reuters
December 8, 2023
MOSCOW, Dec 8 (Reuters) – Russians have enjoyed a dramatic increase in living standards over the course of President Vladimir Putin’s nearly 24 years at the helm of Russian politics. On Friday, Putin said he would run again for the presidency.
High prices for oil, Russia’s main export, boosted Putin’s standing as the country emerged from the chaotic 1990s, raising incomes and purchasing power for millions of its citizens.
But the 2008 financial crisis, followed by repeated bouts of Western sanctions following Moscow’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 all the way through to restrictions in the wake of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, have changed the calculus for the Kremlin.
Russian authorities have battled rouble depreciation and often high inflation in recent years as the economy has moved from consistent growth to an era of stagnation.
Here are some charts telling the economic story behind Putin’s time in power.

There is nothing wrong with a person remaining as the head of a state as long as majority citizenry vote and elect him!
That’s the essence of democracy.
In America, presidents get only two 4-year-terms; but, American citizens get the same president — in different names — again and again and again from two-party-duopoly perpetually.
Ron Keeva Unz might disagree with my above sentence; but, I don’t give a rat’s rear-end for what Ron Keeva Unz thinks when I basically write the realities of life in America.
In India prime minister Narendra Damodardas Modi has almost secured his next 5-year-term; but, PM Modi might die while serving his next 5-year-term in office due to his advanced age.
In England prime minister Rishi Sunak is now acting desperate for the next general election win and I wish him luck!
Mr. Escobar, when exactly is that happening?
I mean, chronological date and the year!
But, Mr. Escobar, your Roman Catholic Church does not recognize Eastern Orthodox Church as a valid form of Christianity.
Eventually, multipolarity will be beneficial for America and Americans (because empires are expensive to maintain) but the transition will be arduous as we decouple from the poisonous and parasitic globohomo shadow empire.
Thank you, this is an educational video as always!
I have never understood the notion that Russia could join NATO and always assumed this is some inside joke. I think the more accurate name of this group is the Anti-Russia Military Alliance and it is only called the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as a form of decorum. I suppose Russia signaling a desire to join NATO may simply be a diplomatic way of asking when NATO will be dissolved. Little did they know.
I find Sachs’ ignorance of the different attitudes with respect to economic polices toward Poland and Russia to be ridiculous. Poland was considered a helpless country which the West saved and Russia as the ultimate enemy. There is a slight chance he was sincere at the time but the possibility that he hasn’t figured this out after 30 years seems remote. He should be apologizing for playing an amateurish and possibly destructive role in this mess.
Unfortunately, your last paragraph (perhaps a cry of derange WASP disciple) has nothing to do with Pepe Escobar quote on Moscow Christmas spirit.
Deaths that the same criminals recognize that 61% are of innocent women and children…
Are we really supposed to believe that 39% of the people they have murdered are “terrorists?”
Wrong thread, dude. D’oh.
The problem many face is an overbearing cynicism when it comes to government. This is understandable for those in the US and many in Europe. However it is not the case globally.
First, we must realize that leaders are not saints, but reside and act within the secular realm. Next, using the two most recognized counterparts–Russia and China, it is easy to see the difference between those men and US/NATO leaders.
Both Putin and Xi understand that their duty is to their country, and not a foreign power. It is much easier for China, since in spite of the many clans and cultural minorities, almost all consider themselves to be Chinese. This, by the way, includes Taiwan island. For their part, Russian patriotism, often connected to the Orthodox church, remains prevalent.
A more than less unified country or regime can more easily work toward the benefit of citizens. Contrast that with the US, where the regime works for a foreign entity (the Jewish race) and seeks to dispossess its founding majority with aliens.
Consider foreign policy, where the US has a ‘rules based’ my way or the highway attitude. Russia and China take a ‘let it be’ approach. Huge difference.
In fact it is easy to recognize the differences. And because of them it is no wonder that China and Russia progress, while the US (and Europe) digress. Finally, multipolarity will not help the US as it declines. The US must fall apart before anything new can be made from the remains. However multipolarity will make the decline more obvious.
Multipolarity, like 8 billion Sovereigns, an idea whose time has come.

Did you fail to comprehend my comment? Or check out the info at the link. I believe it’s Insane to carry-on with this way of organizing any longer. A different approach is needed. Democracy as the best way to organize is a myth. It always ends up corrupted by those psychopaths in society who will use* violence (the power of gov) to rule over the masses.
Let’s think outside the box, a voluntary system that uses incentive instead of force. I know, it can’t be that simple. We don’t know because we haven’t tried. A big reason is anarchy, has been associated with chaos. Forget what you learned about government in government schools, it’s be a good citizen propaganda. Anarchy is the opposite of chaos. True liberty is the natural state & we should endeavor to achieve it.
http://www.theanarchistalternative.info/index.html
A good place to start.
Oh… Reuters…Zzzzzz….
The difference between unipolar and multipolar is that there will be no hegemon, the world will never be fair, but it can be less unfair.
This business of putting US/UK “democracy” on some kind of pedestal is the hobgoblin of the potty princesses of western decadence. It rings like an empty bottle.
Yes. Thanks for that. I agree that new thinking is required. So we are on the same page as far as a general starting point for discussion goes.
A libertarian/anarchist angle? My experience is that those ideas often reflect a youthful, idealist way of thinking. One not really suited to practical (i.e. real world) politics. I’m reminded of Jiang Zemin’s famous comment to the Hong Kong reporters.
However I will tell you this– if I thought those ideas had a chance to effect political change, I’d get on board, for sure. But I don’t so I won’t.
Pepe Escobar proves once again why he is a star.

I predict that Hungarian speaking Ukraine will be given to Hungary. The old Lithuanian Polish provinces will NOT be given to no polish Pole Land. They get dusky old kielbasa’s in their nose.
Reuters is one of the most respected news organization in the world. But I am sure that anyone who sees your post will immediately nod in the affirmative, agreeing with you due to this informative ZING! comment. [roflol]
And why not more fair, if it can be less unfair. Yes I am willing to try incrementalism, but the logical end to that isn’t less unfair, it’s more fair.
@xyzxy It’s fortunate that mankind doesn’t stop at what they can’t foresee working. One might theorize were in the mess were in due to complacency. The current government system that we’re organized under is not reformable. What we see as bugs to be worked out are actually features to maintain control. Regarding anarchys untenability, a snowball can turn into an avalanche, if enough people withdrew their support and ignored government, it would collapse. Then we build a system based on voluntary cooperation.
The article only quoted Putin as saying “Ukraine has no future”
The part about it becoming part of the Russian Federation is an opinion by the author. It is poorly formatted, but will be misused to prove Putin plans on taking all of Europe.
And the comment was not made by Russian Foreign Ministry official representative Maria Zakharova on Telegram
VVP – Verification Validation Plan 2024 of IJ – International Jewry:
(Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is due to be killed (according to sayings from Babushka Wanga)).
All RUS mono- and duopolis, aka Big Businesses, are in the hands of the Forever Unsatiables, Russians call oligarchs and truthers call Jews.
The Yellen on top of RUS, Jewess NabiUllina, is now raising the base bank rate from 15 % to 16 % and 17 % are already envisaged. Sanctions’ banking is done via Israel.
Before doubling up the usury (from 8 %), the Ruble was allowed to dive while a propagandized call-out was made for „Russian businessmen“ to let the Ruble roll home and re-infest in Russia where it is much better and much safer for them infestations, which is actually true and so the oligarchs returned with some of the loot. („Oligarch“ is now officially Nazi terminology with the VVP off RUS). (And if you are not with VVP, you are against VVP). As soon as the boys were back in mother Russia’s moneyyard their interests started climbing and I wonder what unlimited bonds are issued to lock in those inter-rates for the paper tigers’ grand children? VVP & Cons boast about Russia’s sovereignity, while the peoples are left to grind away on VVP hurdles, aka bank rates, of participation coupled with special tax – inflation – and also absorb all „the migration business needs and we want“ (VVP), while Russians in the outback are left to vegitate (which is or probably could be better than being a city slave). Nevertheless they too have been offered an economical incentive, namely to risk their lives in the Jewkrainian war against peoples like themselves, a war of the Kiev Jews against the Moscow Jews about the formation and future form of Jerusalem 2.0 on the back of slavic men and families and Europe at large. In brackets: (The Ukrainian losses stand now at ca. 1,5 million plus collateral damages in 1,5 million families with 30 million Ukrainians unsetteled).
How large are the Russian losses?
I have seen the mental losses: Russian soldiers knocking out the teeth of surrenderers of Ukraine or not accepting Ukrainians’ surrender at all.
Meanwhile Kiev is preparing the City and surroundings for urban warfare.
Kiev contains the third holy grail of Orthodoxy. Jewkraine has it already desecrated coopting with Vatica’s Bergoglio aka Pope Francis. The Jews want Kiev destroyed or at least savaged and the Moscovites will probably comply. A year ago VVP smugged: „I am not ready yet to destroy Kiev“.
Well, it’s anyway better to leave the big cities to the hats and their multicultural servants to create paradise on earth, where all are equal and a few are so equal that they are special and therefore need specialities in everything they will.
As long as there are parliaments with delegates instead of swarms of sovereigns the new Russia will be nothing but Jewmerica 2.0 containing a Jerusalem 2.0 in the better parts around the Black Sea.
Russia actually looks to America and thinks it can be like America but cultured with some traditions on the surface (to calm the power hungry minds of long oppressed). American Christians are already following their nomad priests into Russia, so much for trusting God in the life on the land he put your forbears and you into.
To phantasize about a trinity, which is unnatural anyway, is ignoring or underestimating the Moscow-TelAviv-NewYork axis, which will have Putin simply or in a very complicated way killed or compromised if really necessary. The same way Benett of Israhell made sure that Putin would not touch the deadly Jewish clownery in Kiev. Power corrupts and total power corrupts totally.
As long as people vote – give away their voice for the next 5 year period – nothing changes. When at the end of the 16th of March 2024 the election results show that only one single vote was turned in and that single vote is for VVP, VVP would accept his election, because he thinks he knows that he is doing the right thing for Russia, for his Russia – the way he thinks what and how Russia should be… Is that arrogant or megalomaniac?
Representative – Jewish – democracy – voting for the other – is the cause of today’s mess all over the world including Russia & Kiev. Swarm intelligence – daily, weekly and/or monthly co-determination right – was successfully practiced in German companies and communes.
You have a valid point. To me, the author was making an indirect and alluding point of the ultimate outcome and desire of Russia re: Ukraine. I believe the Kremlin has already decided to sequester all of Ukraine, administering the West and East differently. The native Ukrainians of the West will be offered status as a republic within the Federation, with the same qualities, rights, etc, as others, e.g., Tatars. This is practically complete autonomy.
As I have said, the Hungarian speaking part will be repatriated to Hungary, by a referendum. The coveted part that Poland desires will no be ceded, because of Polish belligerence and stupidity, and cupidity with the West.
The overarching point is that it is hardly surprising that Russia wants to CONTROL all of present Ukraine. For the peoples outside of Donbas, life will be better, safer, freer, and governance will be much improved. No more shining shoes for Jewish oligarchs.
