I add my appreciation to all of the other voices commenting on how much they're enjoying this series.

I hope it's not just wishful thinking or confirmation bias on my part but I have felt strongly for a long time that Putin's Russia has never been the threat that our Western media mockingbirds have worked so hard to frame it as but you have articulated powerful and substantial reasons to confirm my impressions better than anything else I've ever read.

I'm looking forward to the next article with great expectations.

What an incredible time to be alive!!! When I signed on as a proud "Deplorable" Trump was an answer to my dream of a renewed America. Now I have the joy of seeing what he can accomplish with his super hero partner Putin!!!!! This is epic!!!!!!!

Russia proves itself sovereign everyday and for years before. His people are God fearing and they love him. I have seen Putin in a different light for some time now. When I saw Trump visit all these boogey men during his presidency and there was never even tension, I had further proof the media was our enemy and not Putin. I am sleeping very good at night. So much can be learned about the ignorance of all the virtue signalers when you see them pouring out vodka in our country. Where was all the virtue signaling during Iraq or during the color revolution when Belarus was stolen? Keep writing , maybe people will wake up. I appreciate your perspective and grasp of history. I am really enjoying your series.

This is incredible BB. My intuition told me from the start that Putin is a good guy and now I know it’s for all the reasons you reveal in these writings. Thank you and God Bless.

I may actually get a good night of much needed sleep!

Can’t wait for Part 4!

You brought tears to my eyes with this line: But Russia remembers all the Ill

that has been brought against Her People. Would that we recognized all the Ill that had been brought against us over the last few decades.

This is a wonderful series, and I've found it hard to find a single suggestion or conclusion that I remotely disagree with. Beautifully written too - a classic. Cannot wait for part 4.

Thank you BB. Having been brought here by JustHuman's mention of your work, I am cheered by your analysis. You write beautifully, and with passion and reason equally - I wish I had your talent.

You manage to avoid the numberless tactical, consequential slings and arrows, and concentrate quite rightly on the reasons why. The effects mutate daily, the reasons don't. I look forward to your next piece.

Oh and btw, thank you for adopting zero-origin article numbering - very satisfying to a computing professional of an arcane kind.

I was guided here read these parts 0-3 by Simply Human just today! I was discussing the "Russia situation" with a (MSM brainwashed) coworker just yesterday. He was very negative on Putin and all doom and gloom. I found myself adamantly defending Putin based on gut feelings without having the great insights you have brought up here! I feel better about my gut. ;) thank you!

Slavic / Russian / Tartarian / Christian Orthodox / Alexander the Macedonian - what is the common theme here ?

I really like this visual:

“The beast is surrounded, and it’s starting to act as if it is. The beast’s only tool is subversion. Its only weapon is psychological, and yet the Tiger advances, degree by steady, aching degree while the eagle soars overhead, just out of sight but coming closer with every pass.” Thank you Burning Bright.
