In today’s Wumao Soup, we’ll talk about Taiwan, the sovereign country the Chinese Communist Party insists is not a country, but constantly threatens to invade just like a country, while the “antiwar” crowd is eagerly encouraging them to start that war, endangering millions.

Tucker Carlson to Dugin: "We thought it was important that your ideas were disseminated in English..."

Also Dugin: "North Korea is a bastion of humanism, democracy, and freedom."

Can a @mises free-market economist please explain? @ThomasEWoods, @BobMurphyEcon, @profstonge

Sen. Kennedy: Is Russia our friend?

Gen. Smith: Sir, they're not.

Sen. Kennedy: Between Ukraine and Russia, who do we want to win that war?

Gen. Smith: Obviously, we want Ukraine to stand independently and not be consumed by Russia.

Sen. Kennedy: When Putin went into Ukraine, he thought he was going to roll in and take it over in two days like thunder on a summer night, didn't he?

Gen. Smith: I believe he did.

Sen. Kennedy: But Ukrainian people have fought back, haven't they?

Gen. Smith: Yes, sir, they've fought back.

Sen. Kennedy: And they now have some of the most sophisticated drone technology in the history of the world, don't they?

Gen. Smith: Sir, they do. They're doing very well with drones.

Sen. Kennedy: And with limited resources they have, they're giving Russia curb-stomping, aren't they?

Gen. Smith: I would say they are.

Sen. Kennedy: In fact, with their limited resources, they've knocked out 40% of Russia's oil export capacity. Since January, using their drones and limited cruise missiles, they've hit oil and gas facilities within Russia over 100 times. Not on the border, within Russia. Right?

Gen. Smith: Yes, sir.

Sen. Kennedy: And Putin was so scared, he almost had to cancel Russia's military parade, didn't he?

Gen. Smith: I will take your word for that, sir.

Sen. Kennedy: Okay.

Canadian think tanks have documented a systematic russian influence operation aimed at stoking separatism in Canadian province of Alberta

Website “albertaseparatist,” which masqueraded as “grassroots” Alberta initiative, has been identified as part of russian Storm-1516 network

Germany did not merely misread Russia. It created an entire school of thought around the misreading.

Ostpolitik made sense during the Cold War. And on a practical level, it improved life for lots of Germans caught on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain. But after the Cold War, much of this was translated into a quasi-religious belief by the German political elite, often clad in highly intellectual-sounding language:

- that trade would civilise geopolitics,
- dependence would create moderation,
- and economic integration would dissolve power politics.

Things that sound too good to be true typically are. But critics were dismissed as primitive Cold Warriors.

Eastern Europeans were patronised and Americans treated as vulgar hawks. We’ve all seen the embarrassing pictures from the UN General Assembly, where German civil servants were laughing with tears in their eyes because Donald Trump was speaking the truth.

And meanwhile Germany built Nord Stream, deepened its energy dependence on Russia, and — in one of the most consequential strategic mistakes in modern European history — shut down nuclear power without any credible geopolitical fallback.

What was presented as moral sophistication often turned out to be strategic infantilism, and the result was certainly not peace. It was strategic dependency — and, to put it bluntly, weakness — disguised as sophistication.

One of the central themes of The Lost Peace.

After his Duranty-style interview of dictator Putin, Tucker did another good-faith one with this statist, Russian fascist, all the while giving that quizzical look as to why more people don’t believe in these values.

Do you remember, Tom, was the Dugin interview before or after Tucker grandly revealed he was clawed by demons overnight while simultaneously sleeping with his dogs?

Do you recall?

[Matthew Mežinskis @1basemoney]

Estonian intelligence here affirms for 1000th time what any normal liberal knows: The Kremlin has weaponized its Orthodox Church to kill Ukrainians.

But don't tell that to polymath libertarians @ComicDaveSmith @TRHLofficial; they won't listen, yell at walls, blame victims.

[Pepel Klaasa @pepel_klaasa]

This is pure gold.

A Ukrainian fighter, posing as a “participant of the special military operation,” infiltrated a meeting where students of Kuban State Agrarian University were being recruited to sign contracts with the Russian army.

[Matthew Mežinskis @1basemoney]

Can a free market economist over at @mises explain what this poor Russian is getting wrong? @profstonge claims, “their government is trying to help.”

Not killing enough Ukrainians every night?
Not enough Christian nationalism?
NATO?

In today’s Vatnik Soup, we introduce Yanis Varoufakis, a Greek economist and politician. He’s best known for rising to power at the height of the Greek debt crisis, not solving anything but endearing himself to the left, and using his fame to promote Russian imperialism.

“Ruszkik haza!” on the Budapest metro.

What a moment.

[Aleksandar Djokic (Александар Джокич) @polidemitolog]

If Orban loses, while being supported by the US and Russia unanimously, how are the truth-seekers going to blame the CIA for the color revolution?

[Szabolcs Panyi @panyiszabolcs]

Orbán’s rival Péter Magyar said that his government would extradite Polish fugitives—former justice minister Zbigniew Ziobro and his ex-deputy Marcin Romanowski—both sheltered by Orbán—on day one in office. Magyar added they may flee to Minsk or Moscow, hinting Orbán could, too.

@1basemoney @alex_kokcharov @scotthortonshow @ThomasEWoods @BobMurphyEcon @profstonge @ComicDaveSmith On April 8, 2014, the "Jaguar" special forces from Vinnytsia liberated the Kharkiv regional administration from pro-Russian collaborators and Russian infiltrators.This operation was fateful for the city, as the Kremlin planned to make it suffer the same fate as Donetsk & Luhansk.
