As you know, I offer my services as a voiceover artist to Southfront for their videos on the Ukraine and the Middle East. I also write for them time to time about geopolitics— and also Japan, which is so poorly understood by the non-Japanese—including many in Japan!
Southfront sends me the copy, I do minimal corrections, since it is usually not written by native speakers— and record, with occasional assistance from Ichi and appropriate background meows.
Click here for my narration of the video on Southfront.
Although my mother is British, this is not my usual accent. I do narration and voiceovers, in British, MidAtlantic, and American. Altogether about 10,000! Though not many recently. These days literally everyone is a “voiceover artist”.
I prefer pseudo-BBC where this kind of thing— simply because it is often easier for Europeans to follow then You-All American.
The point of this video is pretty simple.
Zelinski is sending Ukrainians to die in ever greater numbers. The average Ukrainian soldier gets just a few weeks of training. Russian soldiers get a years training before going into combat. Ukrainians don't have air cover. They lack ammunition with the little artillery they have. They lack armor. Ukraine has become an abattoir.
Today they lost close to 2500 men in the Ukraine. Their losses are now roughly 50,000 to 60,000 a month. The Zelenski people claim to be mobilizing twice as much as they are losing of course! And clearly they have expanded mobilization— but at the cost of people they actually need to keep the economy and infrastructure going. Not to mention teachers and medical staff. Who will repair the power stations? Who will fix this thing and that? Who will fix the people?
Demographically, Western Ukraine is being hollowed out— while Eastern Ukraine rebuilds and restores itself.
The West is indeed fighting to the last Ukrainian.
And for now Zelinski is their man—their Sociopath-in Chief in Kiev.
But he is expendable.
And Western Ukraine will break just as Japan broke in World War II—alhtough just like Japan it must suffer catastrophic losses first. It will surrender unconditionally. And for a time at least accept the authority of the Russian Federation.
There will be no insurgency. Because there will be no popular support for our resistance movement run by the same people that ruined the Western Ukraine with their Nazi ideology.
What people want is their lives back.
They can rebuild— but only with Russian and BRICS help.
Can Europe rebuild after this is over?
Can the US?
Ichi’s future gf?
This is “Kin” (“Gold” in Japanese). She’s 13. Loves people and other cats. And has been in the Shelter for a long time because of her age. Will she get along with Ichi?
In Japanese this is called “omiai”—arranged meeting.
Since Ichi is now 13, they would be the same age. Obviously, I would probably lose both around the same time.
Still, I would love to adopt her. What should I do?
Coffee / Kibble Time?
Buy us some kibble. Cats spell “coffee” —”kibble”. To go to the buymeacoffee site, click here! Or on Kin’s photo above.
Adopt Kin if you can handle the responsibility of parenting them both. The feline companionship when you are away is likely to improve the lives of both of them... and extend their lives in the process.
Hi Julian, could you point Southfront at a definition of split infinitive? I'm not going to parse the following, but today's Southfront has a classic tortured sub, "Hezbollah attacked on June 27 the Naqoura naval site of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) near Lebanon’s border with a number of suicide drone." Shitsurei shimasu.
