I don't think it is a unique quality of the Russian elite at all, but a global human characteristic:

"A unique quality of the Russian elite is that it not only refuses to admit its mistakes, but also does not wish to be aware of the existence of objective problems (particularly those problems generated by its own actions). Instead of recognizing problems, the authorities only see threats, and they react to these threats in only one of two ways - by either lying on TV, or repression. The one, of course, is inseparable from the other."

Indeed it isn't. Just look at the U$@ occupations of Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Kurdish areas of Syria.

Jewish Corruption in Ukraine . . . by Andrew Joyce, Ph.D.

❝. . . the present conflict is a huge distraction from the fact that, for decades, the biggest threat to Ukraine hasn’t been Russia, but financiers and speculators operating with impunity within Ukraine’s borders to exploit ethnic Ukrainians and plunder their resources.❞

The author suggests that the Ukraine war was a trap. If true, what was its nature and how would Russia have avoided it?

The US response to the Cuban missile crisis was swift and severe. Yet after decades of NATO (a hostile military organization) encroachment, Russia only uses diplomacy. Even after the 2014 coup in Ukraine, whose purpose was to continue NATO's advance, Russia continued to use diplomacy.

So this trap: was it not acting earlier? Was it failing to accept a hostile military force on your border? Was it not resisting the calls for help from the persecuted ethnic Russians in the donbas?

Educate me.

Volodymyr Zelensky is an Israeli operative, the Ukrainian parliament is full of Jewish apparatchiks.

Decisions may result from the Russia-Africa summit that accelerate Putin's exit. While Russian embassies in the Global South show the film "Battle for Africa" leaders in Africa are looking for solutions to the problem of feeding their people. https://www.tbsnews.net/economy/corporates/screening-battle-africa-russian-embassy-666638.

The thought that bombing granaries full of grain that could go Africa cannot be explained. The Putin regime may claim that the Grain deal did not meet Russia's requirements to export its own grain and fertilizer. If that were a concern why bomb? Clearly the intent is to destroy the competitor while driving up the price in world markets. That is gangster behavior, not the actions of an anti-imperialist defender of socialist values.

If all that grain is actually going to Africa, why are Slovak, Polish, Hungarian, Romanian and Bulgarian governments refusing to allow grain entry to their countries?

Answer is simple: they're NOT going to Africa. Not the majority of it, at least. In fact, they've been shifted to and through neighboring EU countries at a cheap price, devastating the agricultural sector in these countries. That's why those countries' governments have imposed bans on marketing Ukrainian grain, but allowing it's passage further down the EU drain.

This is not to justify Russia's attacks in Odessa and other granaries - far from it. But if peace is what the world wants, one should know better than to poke an angry Bear.

It appears that the scheme that Russia is using is to cause a significant rise in grain prices enabling Russia to give a small part of its windfall profits to six African countries as a gift.

The world grain market responds to disruptions in supply or instability that threatens supply.

High prices impact states like Egypt with the capacity to absorb some increase in prices. So President Sisi spoke out strongly against actions of Russia.

Ukrainian grain is below the price set by agreements within Poland and other agricultural states. Possibly, Ukraine is a more efficient producer with better agricultural land than Poland. Earlier, Ukraine shipped its products directly from its ports with no use of Polish rail or truck. When Ukraine started shipping grain through Poland at declared prices lower than limits set in Poland this created problems for Polish growers that protested. Given that grain would have continued to be shipped with no interruption through Ukrainian ports and no leap in shipping insurance costs there would be no complaints from Polish farmers. However mills in Poland may be putting pressure on the farmers due to lower prices available from Ukraine grain transshipped through Poland.

Russia has zero concern about global problems and crises. The Putin regime uses global crises as a means to advance its goals rather than to work with other states to address global problems.

Precisely!!! It is gangsterism of the highest order, especially so given how the pseudopandemic--of which Putin’s Russia was and remains an enthusiastic ‘booster’, pun intended--has exacerbated poverty and concomitant food insecurity across Africa & South Asia.

If you substitute "USA" for "Russia" and the current president for "Putin" this article still makes perfect sense.

It is my fervent hope that this article--in the original Russian--may help awaken and invigorate a long too dormant and acquiescent Left (CPRF & others) inside Russia to openly oppose Putin's war--er, the "Special Military Operation"--and his kleptocratic state.

Please don't fall under yet another smearing campaign of a political opponent, not after Trump's Durham Report, "Hydroxychloroquine being bleach", Ivermectin being horse a de-wormer, COVID-19 "vaccine" stopping spread of COVID-19, Hunter's laptop, Biden's criminal family activity and blackmail of Ukraine, and Twitter Files revealing collusion of US government with social media platforms in order to censor reason and facts.

All of these are now verified and verifiable, and all were deemed "mis-" and "disinformation" by the same bureaucrats who lied about Iraq, lied about Afghanistan, lied about the Tuskagee Experiments, lied about chemical attacks in Syria, and lied about Joe Biden and his criminal family.

RFK Jr. is likely the best thing Your country has to offer, in the degrading and infested society You currently are in. No one is impervious to mistakes, but as the saying goes: "Let he who's without sin cast the first stone." Besides, there are far more important things the man represents and promises, than lingering on a p(l)andemic that solely served to boost pharma's stocks.

Holy smokes! What part of his comment made you think he is of "the MAGA crowd'??? All of what he said rings true, and most of what he said is objective fact. I'm FURIOUS that our leadership- and media-class lied us into a 20 year conflict, one that killed thousands of our sons and daughters (including several of my childhood friends) and millions of Iraqis and Afghanis, for no d@mn good reason! Does that somehow make me a "Trump supporter"? I do not like Trump, and wish he would just go away, but I'm FURIOUS that our own intel agencies and the DNC colluded with media and big tech to push the fake Russiagate story, and deny the laptop story! Why am I furious about this when I don't like Trump?? Because it is literally interference in our democratic processes! Does this somehow make me "MAGA" and "a sick person"?? The only sick people here are the ones still stuck in the Red/Blue paradigm, and keep excusing the lies, censorship, and manipulation we're subjected to by these institutions. It's the same psychopathology that sends domestic abuse victims crawling back to their abusers.
