Great stuff! I feel that Julian and I have led similar lives and come to similar conclusions. I too am in my 70s. I have lived in Russia for 30 years. Before that, I was a student in the USSR for 1 year. And before that, I was a coal miner in the North of England. I have been married to a Russian citizen, a Muscovite, these past 25 years, who has borne me 3 wonderful Russian children. Living on the "inside" looking at the "outside", as it were, at the so-called "free world" with its "rules-based" order, one has a rather different perspective as regards how the righteous "free world" looks as compared with how it is represented to the free-born citizens of the West, such as are my fellow countrymen in Merry England.
This is my first time here and I got here through the link in your comment on Larry Johnson's site. You, Sir, are a freekin gem!
You wrote a top notch article and it's much appreciated. I'm familiar with Boyd and appreciated your Bruce Lee quotes. I believe your assessment is spot on.
The wailing from NATO and EU leaders about Russian drones and their threats to hit Iran are a direct result of the NATO "helpers" on those HIMARS, radar systems, and other expensive NATO tech getting liquidated in significant numbers now...with little recourse. They are in the crosshairs and their gonna have hard time hiding their losses back home. All those compliant Russophobic former USSR states are gonna see the real NATO guys die, not just their Ukie conscript proxies and Nasties. Better still, less NATO forces to use internally against the cold, hungry people of the NATO/EU+ partners when they take to the streets this winter and next spring.

I, too, clicked through from Larry Johnson's blog, and am glad I made the trip. Thank you for an excellent article.
