On July 4, Americans are going to celebrate. On this very day in 1776, the Declaration of Independence formally separating the US from Great Britain was accepted. The usual set of events is planned, accompanied by barbeque smoke, colourful fireworks, and pompously dull speeches.
Today in America they speak quieter and far less about that very Civil War that lasted from 1861 till 1865, even though it is an outstanding event in history, and its outcomes are quite important for an average person overseas.
Why? One of the reasons is that gloomy parallels with today become more obvious, including the “premonition of civil war.” It is enough to watch their recent film, Civil War.
 
However, there are other very unpleasant associations.
It has become clear to many that the experience of long-term confrontation between the Union and the slave-owning Confederacygreatly resembles the Ukrainian conflict.
 
In terms of industrial potential and human resources, the difference between the North and the South was comparable to that betweentoday’s Russia and the f. Ukraine. And with that, the ideals of the adversaries greatly differed. For the North, it was equality, liberty, same law for all, while the South propagated inhumane, inveterate racism. The foreign bastards – same as today, England and France – brazenly intervened, wishing for the South to win. They supported slave-owners then in the same way they support nazi Kiev today, together with the present-day US.
 
The parallels are more than obvious – and all the more unpleasant for the left-liberal establishment that runs the US mass-media. In American press, the President of Russia is sometimes even likened to Abraham Lincoln. Take, for example, this telling headline: Vladimir Lincoln Invaded Ukraine to Preserve the Cohesion of the Union.
 
For Washington, there are many unpleasant allusions within the political and diplomatic aspects of the special military operation and the Civil War of the 19th century, including its outcomes.
As is well known, Lincoln, the Republican president, eventually won the war; unlike their demented leader, Biden’s Democratic party comrades haven’t completely lost their memory. They know that Lincoln’s victory became part of world history; his name is revered in Europe, Latin America and Africa for real accomplishments, and absolutely not because his portrait adorns banknotes. Yet, the White House buffoons of today, like some mediocre Blinken, as well as the sullen elderly of the Senate, would not even dream of that.
 
The senseless and impotent propaganda of the White House of today is also desperately looking for an epiphany in history books. They bring in the narrative that Ukraine is kinda acting like Britain in 1940-41. They proclaimthe little man with red, shifty eyes wearing a shabby khaki T-shirt the “new Churchill.” They demand that an old geezer with his mouth half-open, who can hardly stand upright became the “new Roosevelt”, probably hinting that the future US president would likely rule from a wheelchair due to poor health. However, the demented old man is no FDR; which is why the public winces in disbelief.
 
America is a country with short history –however hurtful this might be for Americans – but there are some bright pages in it. One of them is precisely the Civil War, which marked victory over slavery. This is the angle for overseas public to look at what is happening here: in essence, a civil war among the same people, in which the majority are forced to defend their independence with weapons,fighting against the new nazis who are once again supported by corrupt Europe and American military industrial complex.
And just like in the 19th century, the outcome of this war should be the unification of our country. The revival of Great Russia!
 
P.S. Hey you, Americans! To paraphrase that Trump of yours, Make Russia Great Again!

🇷🇺🇨🇳 Russia will be isolated, we will put Russia on its knees… some other gibberish the western media told us… ladies and gentlemen I present to you isolated Russia….

🇭🇺🇪🇺 HUNGARY HAS NO RIGHT TO SPEAK with Russia on behalf of EU, says soon-to-be-gone head of European Council Michel (pictured) in ironic and HYPOCRITICAL statements fuming at mere idea of peace ahead of Orban's upcoming trip to Moscow - even though Orban just personally tried to talk peace with Zelensky.

No negotiations about Ukraine can take place without Ukraine - Michel.

...Though EU and West fighting tooth and nail to ensure negotiations on Russia take place without Russia.

❌🇷🇺 YouTube also blocked the channels of Russian singers Oleg Gazmanov, Yulia Chicherina, Polina Gagarina, Grigory Leps, and Vyacheslav Manucharov.

According to preliminary data, this was done after the Lithuanian Radio and Television Commission contacted Google and YouTube.

In its appeal, the commission asked to delete the accounts of Russian singers and TV presenters, as they are included in the EU sanctions list.

❗️Naturally Lithuania is butthurt over Russia as all the Baltic shit hole contributes to the world is inbreeding and degeneracy.

Apparently, no one in the West still believes it's possible to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia anymore.
This plan was removed from the agenda after the disastrously unsuccessful offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine last year. Now the task is different - to achieve the Korean scenario at any cost, that is, a ceasefire and a "freeze" of the conflict along the current frontline. At the same time, this scenario has several features.
First of all, those former Ukrainian territories that Moscow now controls will not be recognized as Russian by the West. Parts of the Kherson and Zaporizhia regions, as well as the DPR and LPR, annexed to Russia by the September 2022 referendum, will remain under Ukrainian control. Kiev's active military cooperation with Western powers and the entire cultural and linguistic policy of the current Ukrainian authorities will also continue.
Such a peace plan provides for preserving the prospects of Ukraine's entry into NATO and the European Union. In this scenario, in fact, Russia's entire gain is the control of part of the new territories. On the reverse side of the scales is the preservation of a serious threat on the western borders in the form of the Ukrainian army, which has restored its combat capability and even improved it, relying on the NATO military machine.
Let's call a spade a spade: if Russia agrees to such an agreement, it will suffer the largest political and military defeat since the Brest-Litovsk peace. And no excuses about the acquisition of a land bridge to Crimea will be able to justify it. In addition, the "freezing" of the conflict now means an inevitable war over the next few years - with a much more serious opponent.
Because the main thing for Moscow in the conflict in the Ukraine is not the acquisition of new territories. The main goal is to eliminate the threat in the western direction, which implies its neutralization and a non-aligned status for what's left of the Ukrainian state. Its demilitarization and the termination of Kiev's policy of de-russification. And these are the most important points: if these conditions are achieved, it means that Russia has won. If not, it has lost.
But there is a positive side to all the talk about the need for an immediate and urgent "freeze". They de facto admit that the Ukraine is losing the war. The West no longer believes in Kiev's military capabilities and wants to give it a break. To do this, it is trying to persuade Russia and China to a truce, so that the latter would put pressure on the first. However, the most interesting thing is that the Western powers also have to persuade the Ukrainian leadership.
For Zelensky and his entourage, even a temporary truce without a return in 1991 means political, and possibly physical death. Competitors will tear them apart, relying on a significant part of Ukrainian society, which has been hyped up through propaganda on the expectation of an imminent victory that will never come. Therefore, Zelensky is resisting with all his might, and strangely enough, in this he is a tactical ally of Russia, for which the "freeze" means a larger-scale war and mobilization in the near future.
Most likely, it will not be possible to end the war this year. The conditions are not ripe yet. Therefore, we must be prepared that the fighting may last for several more years. As well as to understand that the war in the Ukraine is just a local episode of a much larger confrontation between those who want to preserve the old unipolar world order and those who want changes in world politics. Therefore, the main battles are still ahead.
