Subject: [Peace-discuss] Rumble.com is eating YouTube's lunch for news and
 opinion that goes against establishment
Message-ID: <abc2190f-7986-70db-78ef-275e0d949c45@forestfield.org>

The Grayzone's Anya Parampil, Aaron Mat?, and Max Blumenthal were on The Jimmy Dore 
Show and Kim Iversen's shows tonight (see attachment). I'm sure the clips and shows 
will all appear on Rumble.com. Iversen has said she'll upload clips to YouTube, but I 
don't see how long that will last if she continues to challenge the YouTube Covid & 
war narratives. Relatedly, Jimmy Dore will not upload some clips to YouTube for fear 
of getting a warning or strike on his YouTube channel.

Jimmy Dore Show

Clips from show to come (unless you're a subscriber in which case you can get the 
whole show unedited).

Hi Peace Discuss,There is a newly published book about Noam Chomsky that sounds interesting.?"Chomsky and Me"And, if you do buy a copy, please buy from "OR Books": "OR Books is a new type of publishing company. It embraces progressive change in politics, culture and the way we do business."?https://www.orbooks.com/catalog/chomsky-and-me/Details about the book: " Chomsky and Me: A Memoir" by Bev Boisseau Stohl (Bev Stohl ran the MIT office of the renowned linguist and social critic Noam Chomsky for nearly two and a half decades. This is her account of those years, working next to a man.)?Best,?- Karen Medina

> Russian President Vladimir Putin observing military exercises in the eastern Primorsky Krai region, September 2022. (Kremlin)
> By Scott Ritter / Consortium News <https://consortiumnews.com/2023/01/11/scott-ritter-2023-outlook-for-ukraine/>
> After almost a year of dramatic action, where initial Russian advances were met with impressive Ukrainian counteroffensives, the frontlines in the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian conflict have stabilized, with both sides engaged in bloody positional warfare, grinding each other down in a brutal attritional contest while awaiting the next major initiative from either side.
> 
> As the one-year anniversary of Russia?s invasion of Ukraine approaches, the fact that Ukraine has made it this far into the conflict represents both a moral and, to a lesser extent, a military victory.
> 
> From the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff <https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/gen-mark-milley-reportedly-warned-congress-that-a-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-could-cause-kyiv-to-fall-within-72-hours/ar-AATw5Zh> to the director of the C.I.A. <https://theintercept.com/2022/10/05/russia-ukraine-putin-cia/>, most senior military and intelligence officials in the West assessed in early 2022 that a major Russian military offensive against Ukraine would result in a rapid, decisive Russian victory.
> 
> The resilience and fortitude of the Ukrainian military surprised everyone, including the Russians, whose initial plan of action, inclusive of forces allocated to the task, proved inadequate to the tasks assigned. This perception of a Ukrainian victory, however, is misleading <https://consortiumnews.com/2022/09/12/scott-ritter-why-russia-will-still-win-despite-ukraines-gains/>.

> The Death of Diplomacy
> 
> As the dust settles on the battlefield, a pattern has emerged regarding the strategic vision behind Russia?s decision to invade Ukraine. While the mainstream Western narrative continues to paint the Russian action as a precipitous act of unprovoked aggression, a pattern of facts has emerged which suggests that the Russian case for preemptive collective self-defense under Article 51 <https://consortiumnews.com/2022/03/29/russia-ukraine-the-law-of-war-crime-of-aggression/> of the United Nations Charter may have merit.
> 
> Recent admissions on the part of the officials responsible for the adoption of the Minsk Accords of both 2014 and 2015 (former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko <https://www.rt.com/russia/557307-poroshenko-comments-minsk-agreement/>, former French President Francois Hollande <https://www.rt.com/news/569201-hollande-merkel-minsk-ukraine/> and former?German Chancellor Angela Merkel <https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/merkel:-minsk-agreement-attempted-to-give-ukraine-time>) show that the goal of the Minsk agreements for the promotion of a peaceful resolution to the post-2014 conflict in the Donbass between the Ukrainian government and pro-Russian separatists was a lie.
> 
> Instead, the Minsk Accords, according to this troika, were little more than a means to buy Ukraine time to build a military, with the assistance of NATO, capable of bringing the Donbass to heel and driving Russia out of Crimea.
> 
> Seen in this light, the establishment of a permanent training facility by the U.S. and NATO in western Ukraine <https://www.defenseone.com/threats/2017/10/ukraine-us-trains-army-west-fight-east/141577/> ? which between 2015 and 2022 trained some 30,000 Ukrainian troops to NATO standards for the sole purpose of confronting Russia in eastern Ukraine ? takes on a whole new perspective.
> 
> The admitted duplicity of Ukraine, France and Germany contrasts with Russia?s repeated insistence prior to its Feb. 24, 2022, decision to invade Ukraine that the Minsk Accords be implemented in full.
> 
> In 2008, ?former U.S. Ambassador to Russia William Burns, the current C.I.A. director, <https://libertarianinstitute.org/dont-tread-on-anyone/nyet-nato/>warned that any effort by NATO to bring Ukraine into its fold would be viewed by Russia as a threat to its national security and, if pursued, would provoke a Russian military intervention. That memo by Burns provides much-needed context to the Dec. 17, 2021, initiatives by Russia <https://www.brookings.edu/blog/order-from-chaos/2021/12/21/russias-draft-agreements-with-nato-and-the-united-states-intended-for-rejection/> to create a new European security framework that would keep Ukraine out of NATO.
> 
> Simply put, the trajectory of Russian diplomacy was conflict avoidance. The same cannot be said of either Ukraine or its Western partners, who were pursuing a policy of NATO expansion linked to the resolution of the Donbass/Crimea crises through military means.
> 
> Game Changer, Not Game Winner
> 
> The reaction of the Russian government to the failure on the part of the Russian military to defeat Ukraine in the opening phases of the conflict provides important insight into the mindset of the Russian leadership regarding its goals and objectives.
> 
> Denied a decisive victory, the Russians seemed prepared to accept an outcome which limited Russian territorial gains to the Donbass and Crimea and an agreement by Ukraine not to join NATO. Indeed, Russia and Ukraine were on the cusp of formalizing an agreement along these lines in negotiations scheduled to take place in Istanbul in early April 2022.
> 
> This negotiation, however, was scuttled following the intervention of then British Prime Minister Boris Johnson <https://scheerpost.com/2022/09/01/report-russia-ukraine-tentatively-agreed-on-peace-deal-in-april/>, who linked the continued provision of military assistance to Ukraine to the willingness of Ukraine to force a conclusion to the conflict on the battlefield, as opposed to negotiations. Johnson?s intervention was motivated by an assessment on the part of NATO that the initial Russian military failures were indicative of Russian weakness.
> 
> The mood in NATO, reflected in the public statements of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg <https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/opinions_208037.htm> (?If [Russian President Vladimir] Putin wins, that is not only a big defeat for the Ukrainians, but it will be the defeat, and dangerous, for all of us?) and U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10751233/We-want-Russia-weakened-Defense-Secretary-Lloyd-Austin-says.html> (?We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can?t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine?) was to use the Russian-Ukrainian conflict as a proxy war designed to weaken Russia to the point that it would never again seek to undertake a Ukraine-like military adventure. [Coupled with an ill-fated economic war, it was also designed to bring down the Russian government, as President Joe Biden admitted last spring.]
> 
> This policy served as the impetus for the injection of what would amount to well over $100 billion worth of assistance, including tens of billions of dollars of advanced military equipment, to Ukraine.
> 
> This massive infusion of aid was a game-changing event <https://www.ustourofduty.org/blog/the-ritter-sitcheroo-imbroglio-part-two-big-arrow-war>, allowing Ukraine to transition from a primarily defensive posture to one that saw a reconstituted Ukrainian military, trained, equipped and organized to NATO standards, launching large-scale counterattacks that succeeded in driving Russian forces from large swaths of Ukraine. It was not, however, a game winning strategy ? far from it. 
> 
> Military Math
> 
> The impressive Ukrainian military accomplishments that were facilitated through the provision of military aid by NATO came at a huge cost in lives and material. While the exact calculation of casualties suffered by either side is difficult to come by, there is widespread acknowledgement, even among the Ukrainian government, that Ukrainian losses have been heavy <https://www.eurasiareview.com/02122022-eu-commission-chief-in-hot-water-over-ukraine-war-loss-estimates/>.
> 
> With the battle-lines currently stabilized, the question of where the war goes from here comes down to basic military math ? in short, a causal relationship between two basic equations revolving around burn rates (how quickly losses are sustained) versus replenishment rates (how quickly such losses can be replaced.) The calculus bodes ill for Ukraine.
> 
> Neither NATO nor the United States appear able to sustain the quantity of weapons that have been delivered to Ukraine, which enabled the successful fall counteroffensives against the Russians.
> 
> This equipment has largely been destroyed, and despite Ukraine?s insistence on its need for more tanks, armored fighting vehicles, artillery and air defense, and while new military aid appears to be forthcoming <https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/3260464/ukraine-troops-to-get-bradley-fighting-vehicles/>, it will be late to the battle and in insufficient quantities to have a game-winning impact on the battlefield.
> 
> Likewise, the casualty rates sustained by Ukraine, which at times reach more than 1,000 men per day, far exceed its ability to mobilize and train replacements.
> 
> Russia, on the other hand, is in the process of finalizing a mobilization of more than 300,000 men who appear to be equipped with the most advanced weapons systems in the Russian arsenal.
> 
> When these forces arrive in full on the battlefield, sometime by the end of January, Ukraine will have no response. This harsh reality, when coupled with the annexation by Russia of more than 20 percent of Ukraine?s territory and infrastructure damage approaching $1 trillion, bodes ill for the future of Ukraine.
> 
> There is an old Russian saying, ?A Russian harnesses slowly but rides fast.? This appears to be what is transpiring regarding the Russian-Ukraine conflict.
> 
> Both Ukraine and its Western partners are struggling to sustain the conflict they initiated when they rejected a possible peace settlement in April 2022. Russia, after starting off on its back feet, has largely regrouped, and appears poised to resume large-scale offensive operations which neither Ukraine nor its Western partners have an adequate answer for.
> 
> Moreover, given the duplicitous history of the Minsk Accords, it is unlikely Russia can be dissuaded from undertaking its military offensive through diplomacy. As such, 2023 appears to be shaping up as a year of continued violent confrontation leading to a decisive Russian military victory.

The Grayzone minces no words in their criticism of Democracy Now (DN) in this segment 
of their recent talk with Randy Credico.

Subject: [Peace-discuss] List of links of interest
Message-ID: <d2063bb4-df24-f07a-5515-97d33c9711dd@forestfield.org>

In light of the 20th anniversary of the US/UK-led Iraq war in 2003, here's a list of 
links of interest on that war and other wars: the Maidan -- the coup that started the 
current US/NATO-led regime change war against Russia via Ukraine, John Pilger on 
escalating war tensions against China, what's happening in Ethopia, and how Africa is 
"embrac[ing] Russia & China" with Hermela Aragawi. I've also added some labor links 
to the list too.


Hermela Aragawi
https://youtube.com/channel/UCPcAts0NIIWpsEv4rL6SSfQ
My note: I'm guessing that it's just a matter of time until her reporting is censored 
by YouTube and she'll move to Rumble.com, Rokfin.com, or some other video 
distribution site.

YOU'D THINK UKRAINIANS AT THIS STAGE WOULD TELL ZELENSKY TO QUIT TAKING ORDERS FROM UNCLE JOE & THE PENTAGON AND NEGOTIATE WITH RUSSIA, AS COULD HAVE BEEN DONE BEFORE WAR STARTED.? DO?UKRAINIANS REALLY THINK DESTRUCTION OF THEIR COUNTRY, DEVASTATING SACRIFICE OF UKRAINIAN LIVES AND CONTINUATION OF ENDLESS WAR IS WORTH PURSUING THE PENTAGON'S PROXY WAR WITH RUSSIA? (even if antipathy toward Russia by many Ukrainians and their nazi enablers, with?NATO/U.S. military support, made the risk of war with Russia seem worthwhile), MILLIONS OF UKRAINIAN EMIGRES FLEEING WAR, AS WELL AS THOSE WHO STAYED BEHIND, MIGHT SAY: WAR IS NOT WORTH THE SACRIFICE!

Subject: [Peace-discuss] Even RAND Corporation says to "[avoid] a long war"
 with Russia via Ukraine
Message-ID: <72cbe3fc-7b71-475b-6174-938d4b5066e9@forestfield.org>

Titled "As the Pentagon's favorite think tank calls for a swift end to the Ukraine 
conflict, is the mood shifting in Washington?" Felix Livshitz points out that even 
RAND Corporation is saying to end the war with Russia via Ukraine.

> The RAND Corporation, a highly influential elite national security think tank
> funded directly by the Pentagon, has published a landmark report stating that
> prolonging the proxy war is actively harming the US and its allies and warning
> Washington that it should avoid ?a protracted conflict? in Ukraine.
> 
> What are the US' interests in Ukraine
> 
> The report[1] has an unequivocal title, ?Avoiding a long war: US policy and the
> trajectory of the Russia-Ukraine conflict,? which provides a strong indication as
> to its contents.
> 
> It starts by stating that the fighting represents ?the most significant interstate
> conflict in decades, and its evolution will have major consequences? for
> Washington, which includes US ?interests? being actively harmed. The report makes
> it very clear that while Ukrainians have been doing the fighting, and their cities
> have been ?flattened? and ?economy decimated,? these ?interests? are ?not
> synonymous? with Kiev?s.
> 
> The US ending its financial, humanitarian and particularly military support
> promptly would cause Ukraine to completely collapse, and RAND cites several
> reasons why doing so would be sensible, not least because a Ukrainian victory is
> regarded as both ?improbable? and ?unlikely,? due to Russian ?resolve,? and its
> military mobilization having ?rectified the manpower deficit that enabled
> Ukraine?s success in the Kharkiv counteroffensive.?

[1] https://www.rand.org/pubs/perspectives/PEA2510-1.html

Later the RAND report discourages nuclear war with Russia:

> The think tank believes the Biden administration ?has ample reason to make the
> prevention of Russian use of nuclear weapons a paramount priority." In particular,
> it should seek to avoid a ?direct nuclear exchange? with Moscow, a ?direct
> conflict with Russia?, or wider ?NATO-Russia war.?

Livshitz' essay concludes:

> All these factors make ?avoiding a long war?the highest priority after minimizing
> escalation risks,? so RAND recommends the US ?take steps that make an end to the
> conflict over the medium term more likely,? including ?issuing assurances
> regarding the country?s neutrality,? something that Moscow had requested before
> the conflict began, to deaf ears, as well as ?sanctions relief for Russia.?
> 
> However, the report warns against a ?dramatic, overnight shift in US policy,? as
> this would be ?politically impossible ? both domestically and with allies,?
> instead recommending the development of ?instruments? to bring the war to a
> ?negotiated end,? and ?socializing them with Ukraine and with US allies? in
> advance to lessen the blow. This process should be started quickly though, as ?the
> alternative is a long war that poses major challenges for the US, Ukraine, and the
> rest of the world.?
> 
> What this proposal ignores is that Western leaders have consistently proven they
> cannot be trusted to respect or adhere to treaties they have signed and brokered
> with Russia, such as the Minsk Accords, which former German Chancellor Angela
> Merkel has admitted were never intended to be implemented, but rather to buy time
> for Kiev.


The signing of the Minsk accords has been confirmed as a sham -- a way to give 
Ukraine time to build up its military -- at least 3 times I know of by former German 
Chancellor Merkel, former Ukraine President Poroshenko, and former UK Prime Minister 
Johnson.
