When Europe refuses to take cheap Russian gas (with that refusal facilitated by US/UK/Ukrainian destruction of the NordStreamI pipeline), the winner is : Exxon-Mobil and all the dirty energy companies of the USA that get to supply liquid natural gas and oil to Europe into the long-term/eternal future. But of course, China and India (as well as other countries refusing to submit to NATO demands to refuse cheap Russian gas/oil) also come out pretty well. The big losers: Western European countries and their consumers (1000 to zero in the World Cup of Energy transfers). However, Western European dupes do get the psychic “benefit” of believing that they are saving the world for “democracy”, which in Ukrainian terms means termination of press freedoms (including outright outlawing of any discussion of peace negotiations), outlawing all political parties (except Zelensky’s of course), mandating all breathing males under 60 years old to be cannon fodder in NATO’s war on Russia, and allowing billionaire Ukrainian oligarchs to maximize their profits (Hunter Biden doesn't do too badly here as well, being associated with Burisma and all).
The NATO-prompted war in Ukraine has created a lot of "Lebensraum" for Germans and other Europeans seeking to "settle" the Wild Wild East (which, like the Americas was viewed by the invading white European "settlers" in the 1492-1900 times, to be uninhabited by human beings and only occupied by animals like subhuman savages that needed to be exterminated). At the same time, the nearly 10 million Ukrainian refugees (about a quarter of the nation's population) have created a wonderful supply of cheap labor/procreators to the European Union (EU), which has been having trouble reproducing their workers in sufficient quantities using the normal biological methods involving on their own citizens.
If Ukraine were successful in conquering the newly admitted states of Russia, there would be even more "Lebensraum", as it is virtually certain that the Russian ethnic groups living there would move farther east before Ukrainian conquest (as those left behind would indubitably be rounded up for extermination or prison/concentration camps of some sort). It should be observed that there are reports of Ukrainian speakers in those new Russian states having been "resettled" to Siberia and elsewhere in eastern Russia, so that, with few if any "pure" Ukrainians left in the new Russian states (and with the Russian speakers fleeing from there before extermination/imprisonment by Ukrainian fascist conquistadors), there is yet more free "Lebensraum" (part of which will be given to the Ukrainian conquistadors as payment for their military service, just as George Washington promised his soldiers Native American lands in return for their military service). However, that would require a Russian surrender that seems unlikely without NATO finally succeeding with its attempts to reinstall another stooge like Yeltsin in the 1990s. Regardless of final victory in what seems likely be a very long war, the producers of weapons of mass killing win big time, especially if the war can be continued forever like the war on terror.
It's funny to read, that Ukrainian speakers in newly addmited states of Russia having been resettled in Siberia and elsewhere in western Russia. It's fake news. Just Ukraine, as always, spreads false information!
I'd be very interested in any article/information indicating the number of Ukrainian-speaking people moving from the Ukraine to Russia. As I understand it, over 2 million Ukrainians have emigrated to Russia, but I'm guessing the vast majority of Russian-speaking people from Ukraine fleeing the war and/or reoccupation by Ukraine. I'd also like to find information about how many of the people leaving Ukraine for Russia were from the territories that were temporarily occupied by Russian soldiers but then reoccupied by Ukrainian soldiers/fascists.
It would also be interesting to find out any information about how many Ukrainians in the new Russian states have been arrested on charges of spying, etc. (and how many of those have been tried in court and been imprisoned in those states).
According to UNHCR data, 2.8 million Ukrainians have fled to Russia. Though it does not indicate if they stayed there. Where exactly in Ukraine they came from, I do not know. As far as the last question, that is a good question. My sources on the ground indicate that most pro-Kiev residents fled westward, and a small number of sympathizers remains. Are they spies? Who knows. But this all indicates that the conflict in Ukraine is also a civil war.
If you ask me, I can say, that the vast majority Ukrainians from all Ukraine have been native Russian speakers, especially from newly attached states of Russia. As I know
nobody was native Ukrainian speaker in this states. In my opinion, Russians and Ukrainians are the same nation. Here the differences is not national, but ideological. I know many families where one brother is for Ukraine, and other brother is for Russia. For 30 years citizen of Ukraine were forced to speak and write in Ukrainian language at work, at school and on TV. Many people left Ukraine long ago because of this. There is no nationality column in the Russian passport. There is no discrimination for linguistic, national and religious grounds in Russia, unlike Ukraine. Unfortunately, I do not have statistical data, but as far as know from my friends from these states, there are no repressions in those states, people are helped, they live freely and it would be very good if they were not fired by Ukraine.
Thank you for true analysis, John! Especially I liked your metaphor that Ukraine is the Planet's black hole. I want all Evil of the Earth to dissappear in this black hole!

Вопреки лжи украинских СМИ, Россия, как в песне, распахнула свои объятия для жителей новых присоединенных территорий. Они теперь при желании могут получить российский паспорт и стать полноправными гражданами России, ничуть не ущемленными в правах, сами выбирают , где им жить, свободно, на всей территории России. Большинство из них предпочитает остаться на своих территориях, несмотря на регулярные обстрелы мирных жителей укрнацистами, кстати сказать из американского оружия. Я восхищаюсь стойкостью и мужеством мирных жителей Донбасса, стариков, женщин, малых детей, которые не сдаются и выживают в этих нечеловеческих условиях, с риском быть убитыми и раненными в любой момент, начиная с 2014 года!
Good analysis as usual. Thank you, John
Thank you. Much appreciated.
