J.Hawk, SouthFront: The Donbass War Of 2021?
Ever since assuming office, the Biden Administration has been probing countries it designated as America’s enemies for weaknesses through a variety of provocations. So far this approach has not had any successes. China plainly told Biden’s SecState Blinken to go packing, Iran is showing no eagerness to kowtow to Washington under new management, and Russia itself has stayed the course, brushing off verbal attacks and promising either in-kind or asymmetrical responses to any new chicaneries from Washington or Brussels.
That does not mean that Washington has acknowledged defeat. Unwilling to concede, it is liable to escalate a crisis situation elsewhere. Since Navalny’s perennial “poisonings”, “hunger strikes”, and “leg pains” have not had the desired effect on Western governments and his life and health are moreover quite secure in a Russian prison, so the prospect of a new war in Eastern Ukraine is back on the agenda, and the opponents of Nord Stream 2 now have two things to pray for: Aleksey Navalny’s death and a Russia-Ukraine war.

WNU Editor: The above author is not a fan on what Ukraine and its allies (the U.S. and Britain) are doing as tensions increase, but his military analysis is spot on.

ask zero hedge, whoever they might be since they remain an anonymous place
The principles of Zerohedge are known. One is the son of a former Bulgarian spy. I'm sure John Brennan's son does something, too, like expounding on the joys of cross dressing, abortion or hormone blockers.
WNU is a former Soviet diplomat and yet here you are. Want another point of view?
Here is a website: https://strategypage.com/default.aspx
Best part of the site is that you could bitch up a blue streak and no one will care.
Russia has no chance of winning, none. They are overrated and have always been so, tired of everyone telling us how its a forgone conclusion that Russia would win. They can barely beat smaller neighbors much less a large one like the Ukraine.
Over time, Zero Hedge expanded into non-financial analysis,[c] including conspiracy theories and fringe rhetoric[27] associated with the US radical right,[14][28] the alt-right,[29][30][31] and a pro-Russian bias.[1][32][33][34] Zero Hedge's non-financial commentary has led to a number of § Site bans by various global social media platforms, although its 2019 Facebook ban[35][36] and 2020 Twitter ban were later reversed.[14][37]
Zero Hedge in-house content is posted under the pseudonym "Tyler Durden"; the founder and main editor was identified as Daniel Ivandjiiski.[26]
History and authorship
See also: Daniel Ivandjiiski
Zero Hedge's first post appeared on 9 January 2009 at 4pm,[38][2] and the domain was registered on 11 January 2009.[citation needed] According to the Boston Business Journal, the website "publishes financial news and opinion, aggregated and original" from a number of writers "who purportedly hail from within the financial industry."[39] Almost all in-house articles are signed under the collective pseudonym, "Tyler Durden", a character in the Chuck Palahniuk book and movie Fight Club.[39][2]
In September 2009, news reports identified Daniel Ivandjiiski, a Bulgarian-born, U.S.-educated,[d] former hedge-fund trader, who was barred from the securities industry in September 2008 for earning US$780 from an insider trade by FINRA,[40] as the founder of the site, and reported that "Tyler Durden" was a pseudonym for Ivandjiiski.[2][41][42] FINRA rulings show Ivandjiiski worked for 3 years at New York investment bank, Jefferies & Co.,[43] as well a number of hedge funds, the last of which was Wexford Capital LLC, a fund led by former Goldman Sachs traders.[44] One female site contributor, who spoke to New York magazine in an interview arranged by Ivandjiiski, said "up to 40" people could post under the "Tyler Durden" pseudonym.[2] The same New York magazine article, published on 27 September 2009, stated that Ivandjiiski's father was Krassimir Ivandjiiski,[2] a Bulgarian publisher and editor of the pro-Russian right-wing conspiracy theory website Strogo Sekretno ("Top Secret"),[45] and monthly publication Bulgarian Confidential, since 1994.[e][1]
In a 29 April 2016 Bloomberg article "unmasking" Zero Hedge,[26] the authors writing as "Tyler Durden" were revealed as Ivandjiiski, then age 37, Tim Backshall, age 45 (a credit derivatives strategist),[47] and Colin Lokey, age 32 (a Seeking Alpha staff writer).[48] Lokey, the newest member, who joined in 2015, publicly revealed himself and the other two, when he left the site in April 2016.[49] Ivandjiiski confirmed the three men "had been the only Tyler Durdens on the payroll" since Lokey joined
Thank you Fred (6:40). Whatever would we do with you to save the day.
I gave up reading Zerohedge 2 years ago. My primary two reasons at the time were Simon Black (fraudster) and The Strategic Culture Foundation (Russian Front). That said I do not think that ZH is no worse and in some cases better than more left winger media in the US. I do believe that ZH for whatever reason did yeoman work in discussing US debt level and its effect on reserve currency status.
Now, Fred whether you are a socialist, who is also a registered Democrat or a Russian troll, I do not think it matters as there is no difference on what would be commented.
BTW for you latest copy and paste effort, I'll give you only 1/2 a star for your effort as you used too much glue and glued outside the lines.
