there is a large segment that are not frightened of Armageddon, but actually are looking forward because this is the redemption in the stoop.
So there's no point saying to them, you know, as we in Europe do, well, it doesn't make any sense to provoke a big war.
It makes absolute sense if you're an eschatological messianic
believer to do these things.
So, you know, we have to try and understand it in these terms too, I think.
And there is a danger, the sort of eschatological, the messianic theme that is present, has been predicted that it would be present, and has gripped probably more than half of the Israelis, the sense of Amalek,
that they are fighting the war of Amalek, and this is going to lead eventually to Armageddon and redemption.
the ukraine war pushing united states to fund ukraine in a fight against russia and putin why what is this thinking there what's the strategy behind that do you think i think it's it's the same people and it's the same supremacist thinking the idea of um control and
There is, I think, in the case of Russia, great ancient resentments.
I mean, dating back, first of all, to the failed attempt of the Bolsheviks to institute a society that ended all reliance on family, community, religious, to create people as just units.
units in a society, in a sort of technocratic society.
That failed, and then Stalin was instrumental in, as they believed, in killing many of those people who largely were originally, many of them came from the US and were prosecutors.
And I remember watching a video of Putin addressing some of the Pacific members there.
in moscow and he was saying to them um you know and he was warning them and he said you you know that i think the figure he gave was 83 percent of the bolsheviks were jewish and most of them didn't speak russian basically um so the russians are very aware of this history
And then they were made aware of it again in the 90s, when the oligarchs, the period of the oligarchs, put him down on that.
Of the oligarchs, there were seven oligarchs, normally.
or six were Jewish and tied to financial institutions in the West, whether in America or in Europe.
And the consequences of that period with the shock treatment, the shock economic treatment that was visited on Russia, I mean, were terrible, the consequences on the society.
So I think Putin has always tried to carefully maneuver and manage, if you like, what he understands is a sort of power system which is higher and larger than the power system in Europe and the United States in the conventional way, based much of it on finance and banking going back to the 19th century.
and the impulsive people, Yakov Franks and so on.
