A View of the Ukraine War through Russian Eyes
Vladimir Putin - February 21, 2023, Moscow.
According to Russian scholar and Princeton and New York University professor, Stephen F. Cohen, since 2008 and becoming more intense since 2014, the U.S. political-media establishment has engaged in an ongoing demonization campaign against Russian President Vladimir Putin. Cohen has warned:
“The personal vilification of Russia’s president is propelling the new Cold War toward hot war, poisoning American politics, and degrading US media.”
Just two days before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, conservative Hoover Institute Scholar and frequent Fox News commentator, Victor Davis Hanson, warned President Biden to stop demonizing Putin. Demonization of adversaries severely limits diplomatic alternatives for future peace. It is thoughtless, arrogant, and stupid, and causes unnecessary loss of life.

Chapter 9 - Ketel aboard the Westwind
So Ketel went aboard the Westwind disguised as a Viking. The guttural nature of his speech, however, raised some instant suspicions among the crew. Some said, “Surely this man is a Frisian whose Norse loyalties cannot be trusted.” Others said he must be a Dane. Soon enough they knew he was a troll, for one man had seen his tail hanging from his cloak. But the men trusted their Captain and inquired if he knew the nature of his passenger. Anskar quickly gathered and easily calmed the astonished crew with high praises of Ketel’s nature, accomplishments, and usefulness.

Bitter Opposition within Intelligence Agencies W
On September 26, 2022, six HC explosive packages, each with the power of a one-thousand pound bomb or torpedo, exploded beneath the Baltic Sea near the Danish island of Bornholm. Both of the double-pipe Nordstream 1 lines and one of the double-pipe Nordstream 2 were rendered inoperable. There was also massive environmental damage from gasses released into the water. Nordstream 1 had been supplying 40 percent of Germany’s natural gas before the Ukraine War sanctions. Nordstream 2 had not opened yet. The $25 billion plus pipelines were 51 percent owned by the Russian energy company Gazprom, and the rest by German, Dutch, British, Swiss, and Austrian energy companies.

Chapter 8 - Of Gods and New Friends
Viking Dragon Ship
Ivar again asked, Ketel, “By what name should we address our Creator?”
“His name in the Troll tongue is Jumala. Some call him Ukko, but he has many names among peoples and trolls,” replied Ketel. “Of old, his name in Norse was translated as Eker, which was thought to describe his nature. But be careful. It is more important to know his nature than his name, though any name for the true God should be spoken with reverence. There are many who call upon gods who are not gods. There are many who call his right name but do not know him, for their understanding of him is of their own imagination and terribly corrupt. I judge by your looks and aura that your ancestor was Odin, but he was a man and not a god. He was a wise and great man, but nothing more. Thor was the god of the people who first came to Norway. He was a protector of his people, but he, too, was but a man enlarged by fading memories and entertaining fables. Freyr and Freyja were of the Vanir people, beautiful, but mere mortals; their descendents are mixed with those of Odin and Thor.”

Unveiling the Bitter Weeds of Foreign Policy Insanity
President Joe Biden
On September 26, 2022, the Swedish National Seismic Institute recorded several explosions along the Nordstream 1 and 2 Pipelines southeast of the Danish Island Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. These explosions were approximately the magnitude of a thousand-pound bomb or torpedo and rendered three of the four 4-foot diameter natural gas pipelines inoperable for the foreseeable future. Nordstream 1 and 2 are each double pipelines stretching 759 and 767 miles from two Russian locations on the Gulf of Finland to northeastern Germany. Nordstream 1 had been pumping gas since 2011 and Nordstream 2 had just become operational but was not yet pumping gas. Nordstream 2 parallels Nordstream 1 to its south with a separation of less than one mile. The Baltic Sea depth on their track south of Bornholm is about 265 feet. Nordstream 1 was already supplying 40 percent of Germany’s natural gas. The total cost of the pipelines was $25.4 billion, of which the Russian energy company Gazprom owned 51 percent or $13 billion in cost. German, Austrian, Swiss, Dutch, and British energy companies owned the other 49 percent, of which the heaviest share belonged to Germany.
