Dimitry Orlov, on Ukraine, Russia & Empire
Pretty interesting inteview (to me anyway), Orlov holds forth well beyond the typical responses to interview-style questions. full link here.
With not a few parallels that can be drawn with the USA. Small sample: Quote:

My concern lies around Orlov and his mate James Kunstler being perpetual doom merchants.
A broken clock is right twice a day, too. Reading thru the linked article of Orlov’s, I’m quite surprised at the complete lack of reference to The Ukrainian Famine(Holodomer) and post WWII Ukrainian insurgency against the Soviet occupation. Ukrainian wheat kept the Soviet Union from starvation and collapse in the 30’s, quite the opposite of Orlov’s emaciated Russian sow feeding greedy republic piglets. I believe I get Orlov’s relevant points, but something doesn’t add up for me about him. |

Specifically against most everything, bar scientific intellectual capital, that came out of the former Soviet Union. The bias continues with ethnic/genetic Ukrainian lineage and formal university study. But even with all that, I’m still seriously confused at times. I am at best just an interested historical tourist. Orlov’s points on the Baltic states could also be viewed as ammunition supporting a reinvigorated Russian intervention. I’ve never been to Estonia, but I know a few Estonians well, have read deeply about their digital state, and have visited the Estonian embassy(a nook in the Finnish embassy) in Canberra to receive my “e-residency”. My sense is that Estonia is doing a decent job, that they are a truly future focused small nation, and that they are working hard(with US/NATO support) to disrupt Russian efforts to bring the Baltics back under Putin’s mafia curtain. I would love to get some personal ground truth in Ukraine and the Baltics. |

Estonia tucked away in the Finnish embassy; now that's priceless. :cool: |
