Gonzolo Lira, better known online as Coach Red Pill, is an expatriate living in Ukraine. He is married with children, so he's tied to the nation and the country. This past week he was in Kiev to handle bureaucratic matters when he got into trouble. What happened? He cut videos about his situation, put them up on YouTube and Telegram, and they went viral; these got the attention of people fighting the infowar online and Russian media put them up on Russia news media with entirely predictable results.
Last night he appeared on a livestream with Black Pigeon Speaks and a few other regular contributors to talk about this. I am sharing it because he recounts his story, as well as contributing to the situation report going down, and despite his opinion of the soon-to-fall Ukrainian regime he is an indepedent perspective as a man on the ground seeing it first-hand.
Being a man able to see reality, CRP sees--correctly--that Russia will win this war. He also sees that Russia being sanctioned will not do more than short-term pain to Russia; he sees what Dr. Steve Turley below sees, and what subsequent action has shown to be correct.
First, Russia has a native alternative to SWIFT in its own NSPK system (official site here). Second, Russia has made public its connection to China's UnionPay system after Visa and Mastercard abandoned Russia, completely invalidating that move. Russia has its own media establishment, capable of entertaining its own population and attracting foreign audiences, just as China has; this means that generating soft power as well as hard power is well within this emerging Sino-Russian axis- all to be ultimately handled by the CIPS System.
Combined, we have an entire alternative economic structure to Globohomo's system centered around the US Dollar and SWIFT with the international banking system as the real power.
Empire is falling, here and now, in real time and all you need to do is get away from all mainstream media to see and hear from independents to find out for yourselves. Get ready for the world to come.
Bradford,
ReplyDeleteI'm still unconvinced Russian will win. Or if it does, it'll be an ugly insurgency war. I've been following many sources and trying to ask simple questions as a layman. Mytentative conclusions, the Russian military has shown itself to be a paper tiger; a dangerous one due to its weaknesses but a hollowed out military. The corruption kills
What affronts me is the anti ordinary Russian hatred. That morally illegimate.
I have no doubt reality will refute my tenative conclusions but I really don't see Russia benefitting from this war.
