About the spanish journalist thingā¦ the Guardian seems to obviate that he was actively working for Sputnik (the russian front for distributing propaganda to leftists and socialists in europe) during his stay at Poland. Not happy with how the detention is handled, but going to Poland to write yet another āNATO expansion is the reason this is happeningā rant was maybe not a good move.
Yup.
Itās not like the Putin regime hasnāt made its aspirations there clear, just as it has for Ukraine. From the Wikipedia entry on Duginās Foundations of Geopolitics:
Finland should be absorbed into Russia. Southern Finland will be combined with the Republic of Karelia and northern Finland will be ādonated to Murmansk Oblastā.[9]
Reported by the Guardian as āOne of the biggest donors to Britainās Conservative party is suspected of secretly funnelling hundreds of thousands of pounds to the party from a Russian bank accountā
The words āOneā and āsuspectedā feel like journalistic hedging of the obvious, somehowā¦
Putin regime money has also powered GOP politicians and their advisors for years, including āreasonableā ones like John McCain. From one of his former advisors, Steve Schmidt:
Senator John McCain turned a blind eye to the dealings of his top adviser, Rick Davis, who was making millions of dollars with his partner, Paul Manafort. Manafort was advancing the interests of the Russian Federation in Ukraine and across Eastern Europe. They worked for the Putin puppet Victor Yanukovych and Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. They advanced Russian interests from the Maidan to Montenegro. John McCain spent his 70th birthday with Oleg Deripaska and Rick Davis on a Russian yacht at anchor in Montenegro
The Putin regime has telegraphed its ambitions in the UK and U.S. as well. Returning to the Wikipedia article on Duginās 1997 book (required reading for Putinās circle):
The United Kingdom, merely described as an āextraterritorial floating base of the U.S.ā, should be cut off from Europe.
and
Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke āAfro-American racistsā. Russia should āintroduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements ā extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politicsā.
The Tories and the GOP have been instrumental in making both goals a reality.
Successful beyond his wildest dreams. One would have to wonder if this did not fuel a sense of invulnerability that lead to the current disaster of his own making?

Easily the most bizarre timeline I could have ever imagined. Frontline troops taking PayPal donations to continue fighting the largest European land war in nearly a century.
Also, that was an amazing story.
Technology being put to a use probably not envisioned:
It strikes me those are more likely to be conscripts or irregulars.
āWe have reports from Ukrainians that when they find Russian military equipment on the ground, itās filled with semiconductors that they took out of dishwashers and refrigerators.ā
I would ask the person dreaming up this timeline to stop and trying to cook up something sensible instead, but I fear said person is in a coma and hooked up to some infusion containing, among others, plenty of morphine.
Update from Chernobyl.
