In this episode of The Russia House, I sit down with Yan Gagin (“Pappa Kot”), the legendary military advisor to the Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic.
I feel I’m in the wrong country. I disagree with almost everything that the Westminster government does. What are the chances that I can relocate to Russia? Something that might cause problems though. I’m 80 🙃
Perhaps the UK govt can smarten up before it's too late? All of "The West" is on the wrong side of history - in this WW-III, now in progress, this time they are on the side of the nazis. Why keep choosing war? As for immigrating, Russia is a unique civilization, not just a destination, they have their own values, which we need to learn to respect. But your situation in a "Western" nation truly is a conundrum - the untouchable granite edifice of the State is beyond reach of reform, deliberately.
I remember years ago when my late partner and I were visiting Moscow we began discussing our differing political views with our tour guide. We got round to our respective leaders and know what? Our Mr Blair didn’t perform any better Russia’s Mr Putin. Given a choice today I think I just might go for a Putin type in charge, given how many PMs Westminster has gone through in the last decade…
Unfortunately the Zionists have well and truly got a grip on both the Labour (that name’s a joke now) and Tory parties. Bought and paid for by Zionist billionaires. Why do you think Palestine Action was proscribed? Why do you think the youngsters who broke into the Israeli arms factories to stop genocide were jailed as terrorists - and without the jury knowing that was what they were being tried for? Why were pictures made by children from Gaza that were on the walls of a hospital removed? Why did the cabinet make a big fuss because a football club with police approval denied having extremely violent fans of an Israeli football team at a match? Loads and loads of stuff like this is happening all the time, aided and abetted by U.K. Lawyers for Israel. Do any other countries have special lawyers in the U.K.? I don’t know of any. No other country needs them.
These countries are now vassals of the isar3li Empire. All the "5-eyes" intel agencies are locked together into MOSSAD - all one org now, different branch offices. All nations of The West are isra3l vassal: US, UK, AU, Canada, NZ, and India joining Feb 26. The intel services are joined and the domestic regulations being aligned. Enjoy!
I'm 59, in the UK too, and feel 100% the same, I want to relocate to Russia, and be with people that think, and hold values as I do, but lack of funds, heart, and lung issues (fighting to improve and slowly winning) do not to me, seem attractive qualities for Russia to accept me. In Your case it may be similar, but if you have the money to do it and support yourself this link can help - https://moscowconnect.ru/
If, like me, you are stuck here, I can only sympathise, and wish you the best to endure, and hope for a change in Perfidious Albion.
Excellent!!!! This was like an interview with the Grandson of Doctor Zhivago!
It's the Ukrainians that are projecting their non-human souls, just like the Israelis. Sounds like the protocols of Zion to me. The people of Donetsk are viewed as the same as the Palestinians, non-human. Outlaw Zion globally, now!
Finally, Yes! The USA and Russia should be allies. There are a lot of things that we have in common with the Russian people. America needs to be what is was again, like it was when I grew up. An independent and Sovereign Christian Nation
It was a majority Christian nation, founded on Christian principals. That is a fact. Not governed by the any religion and you know it. so, don't get foolish.
No. You are wrong too. The Constitution clearly states that the gov. shall not endorse any religion. That is the traditional interpretation. It is meant to keep the government out of the church not the other way around. You too have been mind kontrolled, just like the rest of the masses. TIME FOR YOU TO WAKE UP.
The Black Robed regiment during the American Revolutionary War was the name that the British Army gave to the courageous clergymen that fought along with the Continental Army of the 13 Colonies that became the USA. Clergymen signed the Declaration of Independence which put their lives on the line and made them part of the Founding Fathers of this once great nation, that is now being dismantled.
We can go back even further. William Penn was a Quaker (A strict Peace Loving Christian sect) Founder of the State of Pennsylvania about 100 years Prior to the American Revolutionary War.
Or the Mayflower roughly another hundred years earlier than that. Christians running away from the British Crown.
You are right Chuck. The USA is a majority Christian Nation, and no one has said that that means it is a Theocracy. Iran is a majority Muslim Nation, with Christians, and Jews, and other Religions, and is set up as a Theocracy.
I however, would also argue that a true Theocracy, is a Nation literally Run By God, not just following the rules of that God, just as I would also argue, by Aristotle's description to Alexander the Great, before he became The Great, that Democracy is rulership BY the People, FOR the People.
Separation of Church and State means neither will rule each other, or interfere with the operations of the other, but I have not seen this to be the case in the UK, or in the USA, as Churches in both countries, have influences on Government, and vice-versa - Women Priests was not a Church only derived decision, but one heavily influenced by state laws of gender discrimination. Then there's Zionists ....
Damned Substack for putting an age restriction on your post Chuck! I absolutely refuse to give my biometric data to a third party ID service, you are in the USA, I in the UK, and Substack has hidden your post due to Online Safety Act content restrictions.

I'm not at all happy with Substack over this, nor their lies to justify it.
Rumble doesn't do this, though Rumble does have a very annoying algorithm that constantly tells me I am voting to much .... go figure! :-D
Wow! Really?! Damn....... Excuse the expressions for figures of speech, but I just learned a lot from what you've just said. You're a very good investigator.
In the (close enough) words of Patrick Henry..... "Is life so precious that it is to be lived out in chains of bondage? Nay, I say! I know not what others may choose, but as for me, I say Give me Liberty or Give me Death.
Scott, how does one who lives in the United States sign up to work the war effort for Russia? I know I am an American, but I do not support this government’s actions and policies against Russia. I want to work with Russia to help win this war against the United States and Europe But do not want to go to jail for some sort of disloyalty or treason or anything like that. I do not agree with the US in their policy. I do not like Lindsay Graham. I only wish I can go to the Carolina and work against his reelection. Luckily that idiot John McCain is dead and gone and buried. In addition, I am bonded to Russia. Although it’s been a long time, my 32nd great grandfather was Rurik. He is responsible for the statehood of Russia. Since I’ve been 12 and right now, I’m almost 70 my life has been has been pulled towards Russia. I did my time here in the United States in the Air Force. But my love is for America, but it’s also for Russia. I cannot stand back and watch what’s happening and no what the United States did to run a coup on Ukraine, etc. I want to work with Putin and for Putin and for the Russian people. So that one day I can return to that Homeland and go to where my ancestral home is and Novgorod And hopefully one day go to Kyiv, but unfortunately, it’ll be run by those dictators that the United States decided to put in with that puppet president moron is Zelenskyy.
May I suggest contacting the Russian Embassy, using a secure email system like ProtonMail, and a good VPN that keeps no log of your usage, then, if you think you have a skill or two that would help their efforts, make them an offer, or better yet, emigrate to Russia - you should have an easier ride than others, as you have Russian heritage.
That sounds very good to do and I would do it tomorrow if I could But unfortunately Ranger I’m almost 70 years old. The only thing that I can do over there in Russia is teach English. I do have my own income I get close to $5000 a month so I wouldn’t have to be a burden on society.
Whatever you do over there will be of value I am sure, and I hope you get to go to where your heart is. I am younger for sure, but my heart yearns to be among genuinely civilised people, in a modern, caring society with good family values, and that appreciates the wise, the thoughtful, and the enthusiastic learners of their culture, and language.
70 is a bit of an age to be travelling, but not if you're healthy enough to make such changes. In lieu of that though, maintaining good links with a US Russian community may help assuage thine Russia-aching heart :-)
I supported President Trump and considered myself MAGA, but I’ve reached a different conclusion. In my opinion, the United States has increasingly pursued foreign policy that prioritizes access to strategic resources and geopolitical dominance over diplomacy.
I believe President Trump has shown interest in places such as Greenland, Ukraine, and Russia largely because of their strategic importance and natural resources. To me, this reflects a broader pattern in American foreign policy that extends well beyond any one administration.
I also believe the United States has been involved in far more foreign interventions and regime-change efforts than most Americans realize. Over the past 50 years, the U.S. has participated in or supported numerous interventions around the world through military action, covert operations, or political influence. That record deserves serious scrutiny.
At the same time, I do not believe Russia is uniquely responsible for every conflict it is accused of starting. In my view, Western governments often describe Russia as exceptionally aggressive while paying far less attention to the history of U.S.-led interventions abroad.
Because of that, I no longer see the United States as simply a force for good. In my opinion, it has increasingly behaved like a global empire, pursuing strategic interests around the world, much as previous great powers did, and they are far more responsible for debts that occurred under their objectives and mission plans. In the end, the EU will not stop with their aggression either. They aim to take over the world starting with all of Europe. They are now trying to manipulate Belarus because they want to bring a coup against Belarus to get closer to Russia and then hope Russia will fall. I am hoping that I do not see any violence from the nuclear arsenal. But if I do, it will not be because of Russia it will not be because of Belarus. It will not be because of China or India or the Middle East. It will be because of the EU and the United States. If they keep pushing Russia, they will use what they can use. And unfortunately, for my country, I will be standing and I will die. I will root for Russia, not my country because my country needs to be reset as well as Europe.
These are my own conclusions. I understand many people will disagree, but they are based on how I interpret history and current events.
Actually, your assessment is correct. I came to the same conclusions as you did, by observing very carefully in order to see the whole, true and just picture. Facts show that Russia has a very good leadership which obviously cares about their citizens very much. Russian government is listening to their citizens and trying really hard to improve things. Who wouldn't want to have such a responsible government?
The more I learn about true Russia, the more I love it - including her imperfections, because they strive to correct the mistakes and they try very hard do better. That's why Russia is doing well despite of heavy international sanctions.
The facade of Western "democracy" is cracking - in the West, normal (non-criminal, psychologically healthy) people are not allowed to get elected into parliament, or God forbid, get into government. Not only here in Europe, I can see you have the same problem in the USA. That is the truth of the West - the vast majority of Western governments have been hijacked by psychopaths.
And people who don't agree with criminal activities of our governments are marked as terrorists. Western citizen journalists for reporting from Donbass, Syria, Palestine... Grandmas for protesting against mass murdering of Palestinian people. (BTW, this is how the war in Donbass began in 2014 - Kiev junta marked as terrorists the whole Donbass population (who disaproved Nazi orientation of the government installed by V. Nuland after Maidan coup d'etat) and they began their so called "anti terrorist operation" by shelling cities of Lugansk and Doneck. In 8 years they've killed 15.000 of their own (Ukrainian) citizens in Donbass, including children, women and elderly!)
My Ancestry is Russian. We go all the way back to Warwick Dynasty. We are the ones that were there for the first statehood of Russia. We are the Kievan Rus as they say. I do not want to lose Russia. That is my ancestral home. Rurik is my 32nd great grandfather with Vladimir the Great is my 29th or 30th gg. I happen to like Putin. They are out to kill him. I am ashamed sometimes to call myself in American. I don’t even half the time want to be an American. I really want to go to Russia and live my final days. I’m 69 and I don’t wanna be here anymore in this country. I know how tough it is over there. I’ve got cousins that live in Russia and they live actually in the Kiev area. I Putin back in 2000 and I had to interview him when he attended the APEC 2000 Summit. The man is not perfect, but neither is Trump. The one thing about Putin and Trump is that both men are very similar. Both men are non-drinkers non-smokers. They are for family. They are for their country and they love God. A lot of this has to do with NATO and the EU. Of course we know about the Nazis or what they call the ultranationalist now instead of using the term Nazis, but they are Nazis and Ukraine and they are also part of the EU. Nazism with a new flavor but the same. The US talks about communism in New York. It is sad what’s happening in New York. But it appears that communism and Nazi has returned to the world. And one of the victims is going to be Putin they’re going to kill him. He’s done so much for Russia and the Russian people. There’s so much negative propaganda trying to get people to think that everybody is rising up against Putin, which is what they do in those colorful revolutions convince people that they need to rise up along with their neighbors. Now they’re also saying military is rising up. It takes one person to talk about it. Next thing you know it’s not just one person. It’s an entire squadron if it’s not the squad it’s a whole platoon. It’s their propaganda. I try on my TikTok to make sure I spread nothing but positive propaganda about who I consider my president because I am Russian too. I have two president Trump and Putin. That’s how I look at it. I love both of my presents, but I wanna tell you right now. I’m loving Putin a little bit more than Trump. I respect Putin a lot more.
I disagree with your assessment of Trump only, he is not like Putin at all, and he absolutely does not love God, nor is he for his country, but self, and is in fact an extreme, gold-loving narcissist, that posts pictures of himself as Christ, and encourages such comparisons, when he is not even a Christian, and profanes God and Christ through his words and deeds.
Whereas Putin, is 100% for his country and always has been, and is NOT using his position to enrich himself at the expense of his countrymen, and allies. He is Honest, hard-working, deeply intelligent (Trump isn't), thoughtful, and caring, and it shows in all of his speeches at the UN, his work since 1990 to create bridges with many, for the benefit of Russia, and extremely shrewd.
Trump is not even on the same playing field as Putin, who dwarfs Trump with his diplomatic skills. Trump is a self-promoting, gold-worshipping, Zionist Narcissist, that lies constantly. Putin is a Grand Master, sophisticated, direct, passionate, smart, forgiving, rounded, and down to Earth.
The two are poles apart.
That said, you should move to Russia, and be closer to your people, you cannot serve two masters, and whilst you can appreciate both, your heart is obviously with Russia, as is mine.
What you describe as having come to understand about the US's Empire plans, are literally in the US Policy Documents, the 2009 Brookings Report 'Which Path to Persia', and the 2019 Rand Report 'Extending Russia'. They are well worth a read, or even just a browse, as they provide in detail, every step for the USA to take, in order to gain total Global Hegemony, and the Largest Empire ever ... which will regardless fail. Those documents are freely available for download, and will very likely tick every box of the things you have come to suspect, as they literally prove everything we see around the World, to have been part of the Empire building efforts of the USA.
If you get a chance, meander over to Brian Berletic's channel on Rumble, called The New Atlas. He is ex US military, a very smart, and bright young man, who really knows his stuff, and makes easy to watch, simple videos with evidence, to back up his claims, which are spot-on. Well worth a watch, I doubt you would be disappoint, though the Cockrell crowing deep in the background, does engender some entertaining comments every now and then :-)
Range, I forgot to mention or I failed to mention that I’m a veteran of the US Air Force and I was a missile facility specialist inside the Titan two missiles. Anyway, that’s where my money comes from.
You are in good company on Scott's Substack, there are a few others too who are ex-US military. I also know that there are a number of ex US Military people already in Russia, some young enough, and healthy enough to offer their services physically.
Stanislav Krapivnik (Russian, ex US Military, now back in Russia) on Substack is a good fellow to follow, as is Mike Jones (Former British Military).
I wish you all the best, and it sounds like you have a skillset to offer, and particularly if you have enough money to support yourself for a while as you get settled in Russia, I think you stand a good chance of getting in, and getting citizenship. You can still appreciate the USA, and hope for better relations to grow between the two, but that won't happen until the USA has wisely given up its aspirations of Global Conquest.
Thank you, Ranger. I will do that. I appreciate all your responses in your comments. If you could think of anything else feel free to drop me a line. Thanks.
Excuse my grammar and any misspellings. I am using the microphone and my glasses are broken so I am unable to go back in to check if my comments are coming across OK. I’m rereading the above comments and I can’t make sense of what I was trying to say at the beginning, only that I am trying to do for the Russian war effort is by sharing information, not western media misinformation but information on Russia, Ukraine, Putin, and the Russian people in a positive light. I am hoping that this is getting through to those who are reading and visiting my TikTok. That is what I’m doing for the Russian war effort is by spreading information that is correct and not spreading information that is misinformation coming from the western media. It’s unfortunate that I have to sometimes rely on western media, but I am also getting information from RT and China news, Moscow news, India news and hope that it’s all correct. I have been banned once and lost my TikTok because I did share the news that the US had bio labs in the Ukraine after Russia had already warned that there were bio labs in the Ukraine and that the UN and the west said it was just a conspiracy theory on Russia’s part. So when Tulsi Gabbard put the information out, I took her website and shared it on my TikTok TikTok then said I committed an offense against the community guidelines and they banned my TikTok so I had to start a new TikTok. I’m finding that TikTok also does not like Russians or Russia. I think they’re fully Ukrainian supporters.
What if the entire North of the world united for Peace? U.S., Canada, Russia, cooperate for a better world for all? Then maybe, just maybe, eventually bring the Waring Tribes of Europe along into the United for Peace? But no, The U.S. has stage-managed WW-III to be fought (against Russia) on the soil of Europe, so that yet again, America's wars are fought on the lands of others. See https://kathleenmccroskey.substack.com/p/machinations-of-empire
Britain’s NATO solidarity industry may not like the fact that on May 26, 2026, Zelenskyy signed a decree naming a Ukrainian special forces unit "Heroes of the UPA”. Through Law No. 317-VIII (2015), Ukraine had already legalised the false equivalence of the USSR and Nazi Germany; it legally transformed the literal perpetrators of, racial mass murder and Holocaust collaboration (the OUN-UPA) into the supreme, state-protected national heroes. It became the State-Mandated Cult of Bandera. Naming fascist units "Heroes of the UPA" or authorising the OUN's Wolfsangel and Black Sun heraldry across front-line units established an absolute ideological continuity. This structural integration transforms 20th-century fascism into an active, 21st-century state-sponsored weapon deployed by these NATO proxy forces directly on Russia's Borders. Between 2015 and 2022, under operations like the U.S.-led Joint Multinational Training Group-Ukraine (JMTG-U) based at Yavoriv, NATO military instructors trained and commanded tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops, specifically integrating fascist volunteer units into standardised Western tactical frameworks otherwise known as the The Training and Command Infrastructure. The forensic work of Ivan Kachanovski, Benoit Pare, Jacques Baud and Christelle Néant, proved Russia’s right to self defence under article 51 of the UN Charter and the right to protect its National security under 1999 OSCE Istanbul Charter and the 2010 OSCE Astana Declaration. Their evidence is conclusive. The Firepower Build-Up: By February 2022, as documented by satellite telemetry and independent intelligence records, Ukraine had massed a massive, heavily fortified force of up to 150,000 troops directly along the Donbas contact line. This deployment was backed by an integrated network of NATO intelligence-sharing, secure communications, and deep-fortress bunkers. Operation Orbital (UK) and JMTG-U (US): Led by the United States and the United Kingdom, Western militaries established permanent training bases inside Ukraine, such as the Yavoriv Combat Training Center. Through these programs, NATO special forces directly trained over 100,000 Ukrainian troops, including members of the neo-Nazi Azov Regiment, explicitly preparing them for high-intensity urban and trench warfare.
The Weaponry Pipeline: Long before 2022, the US and NATO allies began supplying lethal offensive weaponry, including Javelin anti-tank missiles, advanced counter- artillery radar systems, and armed Bayraktar drones, while restructuring Ukraine’s command-and-control systems to full NATO interoperability standards. Yan Gagin’s mention of the NKVD is also an essential material fact of NATO’s psychological war against Russia and their East European puppet states who condemn Soviet Socialism by equating it with NAZI murder. This “Double Genocide’ mythology is sanctified in NATO’s anti-communist museums across Europe. Banned from these museums is persecuted documentary historian Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe, specifically his unedited documentation of the OUN’s fascist organisation and activity—cannot be integrated into these NATO European institutes, the museums against communism and their “Double Genocide” mythology because it dismantles the core myth required for NATO's contemporary mass murder against the Slavic populations of Eastern Europe. legally defining the NKVD's actions as a crime against humanity, these institutes systematically transform the literal executioners of the Holocaust and the Volhynia massacres into tragic "victims of totalitarianism."
Rossoliński-Liebe’s work presents primary, unedited evidence—such as OUN programmatic manifestos, anti-Semitic decrees, and field reports of mass slaughters—that proves these "heroes" were structural components of European fascism. If these institutes allowed his research to guide their exhibits, they would be forced to admit that their state-venerated founding fathers were legally indictable under the Nuremberg precedents. Consequently, Rossoliński-Liebe has faced systematic academic deplatforming, lecture cancellations, and public vilification orchestrated by these state-funded bodies. The physical intimidation of Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe during his February 2012 lecture series in Ukraine provides the direct historical baseline proving that the post-coup state apparatus and the Present Kiev Junta was forged through the systematic NATO deployment of fascist street terror a decade prior to the 2022 escalation.
Thank you, that's invaluable data, let's hope that when Russia wins, such evidence will become widely available, so that many more may know the truth of things.

I'm not at all happy with Substack over this, nor their lies to justify it.
Rumble doesn't do this, though Rumble does have a very annoying algorithm that constantly tells me I am voting to much .... go figure! :-D
Wow! Really?! Damn....... Excuse the expressions for figures of speech, but I just learned a lot from what you've just said. You're a very good investigator.
In the (close enough) words of Patrick Henry..... "Is life so precious that it is to be lived out in chains of bondage? Nay, I say! I know not what others may choose, but as for me, I say Give me Liberty or Give me Death.
😀Big Thanks😃
Scott, how does one who lives in the United States sign up to work the war effort for Russia? I know I am an American, but I do not support this government’s actions and policies against Russia. I want to work with Russia to help win this war against the United States and Europe But do not want to go to jail for some sort of disloyalty or treason or anything like that. I do not agree with the US in their policy. I do not like Lindsay Graham. I only wish I can go to the Carolina and work against his reelection. Luckily that idiot John McCain is dead and gone and buried. In addition, I am bonded to Russia. Although it’s been a long time, my 32nd great grandfather was Rurik. He is responsible for the statehood of Russia. Since I’ve been 12 and right now, I’m almost 70 my life has been has been pulled towards Russia. I did my time here in the United States in the Air Force. But my love is for America, but it’s also for Russia. I cannot stand back and watch what’s happening and no what the United States did to run a coup on Ukraine, etc. I want to work with Putin and for Putin and for the Russian people. So that one day I can return to that Homeland and go to where my ancestral home is and Novgorod And hopefully one day go to Kyiv, but unfortunately, it’ll be run by those dictators that the United States decided to put in with that puppet president moron is Zelenskyy.
May I suggest contacting the Russian Embassy, using a secure email system like ProtonMail, and a good VPN that keeps no log of your usage, then, if you think you have a skill or two that would help their efforts, make them an offer, or better yet, emigrate to Russia - you should have an easier ride than others, as you have Russian heritage.
That sounds very good to do and I would do it tomorrow if I could But unfortunately Ranger I’m almost 70 years old. The only thing that I can do over there in Russia is teach English. I do have my own income I get close to $5000 a month so I wouldn’t have to be a burden on society.
Whatever you do over there will be of value I am sure, and I hope you get to go to where your heart is. I am younger for sure, but my heart yearns to be among genuinely civilised people, in a modern, caring society with good family values, and that appreciates the wise, the thoughtful, and the enthusiastic learners of their culture, and language.
70 is a bit of an age to be travelling, but not if you're healthy enough to make such changes. In lieu of that though, maintaining good links with a US Russian community may help assuage thine Russia-aching heart :-)
These are my personal views.
I supported President Trump and considered myself MAGA, but I’ve reached a different conclusion. In my opinion, the United States has increasingly pursued foreign policy that prioritizes access to strategic resources and geopolitical dominance over diplomacy.
I believe President Trump has shown interest in places such as Greenland, Ukraine, and Russia largely because of their strategic importance and natural resources. To me, this reflects a broader pattern in American foreign policy that extends well beyond any one administration.
I also believe the United States has been involved in far more foreign interventions and regime-change efforts than most Americans realize. Over the past 50 years, the U.S. has participated in or supported numerous interventions around the world through military action, covert operations, or political influence. That record deserves serious scrutiny.
At the same time, I do not believe Russia is uniquely responsible for every conflict it is accused of starting. In my view, Western governments often describe Russia as exceptionally aggressive while paying far less attention to the history of U.S.-led interventions abroad.
Because of that, I no longer see the United States as simply a force for good. In my opinion, it has increasingly behaved like a global empire, pursuing strategic interests around the world, much as previous great powers did, and they are far more responsible for debts that occurred under their objectives and mission plans. In the end, the EU will not stop with their aggression either. They aim to take over the world starting with all of Europe. They are now trying to manipulate Belarus because they want to bring a coup against Belarus to get closer to Russia and then hope Russia will fall. I am hoping that I do not see any violence from the nuclear arsenal. But if I do, it will not be because of Russia it will not be because of Belarus. It will not be because of China or India or the Middle East. It will be because of the EU and the United States. If they keep pushing Russia, they will use what they can use. And unfortunately, for my country, I will be standing and I will die. I will root for Russia, not my country because my country needs to be reset as well as Europe.
These are my own conclusions. I understand many people will disagree, but they are based on how I interpret history and current events.
Actually, your assessment is correct. I came to the same conclusions as you did, by observing very carefully in order to see the whole, true and just picture. Facts show that Russia has a very good leadership which obviously cares about their citizens very much. Russian government is listening to their citizens and trying really hard to improve things. Who wouldn't want to have such a responsible government?
The more I learn about true Russia, the more I love it - including her imperfections, because they strive to correct the mistakes and they try very hard do better. That's why Russia is doing well despite of heavy international sanctions.
The facade of Western "democracy" is cracking - in the West, normal (non-criminal, psychologically healthy) people are not allowed to get elected into parliament, or God forbid, get into government. Not only here in Europe, I can see you have the same problem in the USA. That is the truth of the West - the vast majority of Western governments have been hijacked by psychopaths.
And people who don't agree with criminal activities of our governments are marked as terrorists. Western citizen journalists for reporting from Donbass, Syria, Palestine... Grandmas for protesting against mass murdering of Palestinian people. (BTW, this is how the war in Donbass began in 2014 - Kiev junta marked as terrorists the whole Donbass population (who disaproved Nazi orientation of the government installed by V. Nuland after Maidan coup d'etat) and they began their so called "anti terrorist operation" by shelling cities of Lugansk and Doneck. In 8 years they've killed 15.000 of their own (Ukrainian) citizens in Donbass, including children, women and elderly!)
So much of what you said I agree with as well, especially pertaining to the crimes of Ukraine against the Russians and the Ukrainian people.
My Ancestry is Russian. We go all the way back to Warwick Dynasty. We are the ones that were there for the first statehood of Russia. We are the Kievan Rus as they say. I do not want to lose Russia. That is my ancestral home. Rurik is my 32nd great grandfather with Vladimir the Great is my 29th or 30th gg. I happen to like Putin. They are out to kill him. I am ashamed sometimes to call myself in American. I don’t even half the time want to be an American. I really want to go to Russia and live my final days. I’m 69 and I don’t wanna be here anymore in this country. I know how tough it is over there. I’ve got cousins that live in Russia and they live actually in the Kiev area. I Putin back in 2000 and I had to interview him when he attended the APEC 2000 Summit. The man is not perfect, but neither is Trump. The one thing about Putin and Trump is that both men are very similar. Both men are non-drinkers non-smokers. They are for family. They are for their country and they love God. A lot of this has to do with NATO and the EU. Of course we know about the Nazis or what they call the ultranationalist now instead of using the term Nazis, but they are Nazis and Ukraine and they are also part of the EU. Nazism with a new flavor but the same. The US talks about communism in New York. It is sad what’s happening in New York. But it appears that communism and Nazi has returned to the world. And one of the victims is going to be Putin they’re going to kill him. He’s done so much for Russia and the Russian people. There’s so much negative propaganda trying to get people to think that everybody is rising up against Putin, which is what they do in those colorful revolutions convince people that they need to rise up along with their neighbors. Now they’re also saying military is rising up. It takes one person to talk about it. Next thing you know it’s not just one person. It’s an entire squadron if it’s not the squad it’s a whole platoon. It’s their propaganda. I try on my TikTok to make sure I spread nothing but positive propaganda about who I consider my president because I am Russian too. I have two president Trump and Putin. That’s how I look at it. I love both of my presents, but I wanna tell you right now. I’m loving Putin a little bit more than Trump. I respect Putin a lot more.
I disagree with your assessment of Trump only, he is not like Putin at all, and he absolutely does not love God, nor is he for his country, but self, and is in fact an extreme, gold-loving narcissist, that posts pictures of himself as Christ, and encourages such comparisons, when he is not even a Christian, and profanes God and Christ through his words and deeds.
Whereas Putin, is 100% for his country and always has been, and is NOT using his position to enrich himself at the expense of his countrymen, and allies. He is Honest, hard-working, deeply intelligent (Trump isn't), thoughtful, and caring, and it shows in all of his speeches at the UN, his work since 1990 to create bridges with many, for the benefit of Russia, and extremely shrewd.
Trump is not even on the same playing field as Putin, who dwarfs Trump with his diplomatic skills. Trump is a self-promoting, gold-worshipping, Zionist Narcissist, that lies constantly. Putin is a Grand Master, sophisticated, direct, passionate, smart, forgiving, rounded, and down to Earth.
The two are poles apart.
That said, you should move to Russia, and be closer to your people, you cannot serve two masters, and whilst you can appreciate both, your heart is obviously with Russia, as is mine.
What you describe as having come to understand about the US's Empire plans, are literally in the US Policy Documents, the 2009 Brookings Report 'Which Path to Persia', and the 2019 Rand Report 'Extending Russia'. They are well worth a read, or even just a browse, as they provide in detail, every step for the USA to take, in order to gain total Global Hegemony, and the Largest Empire ever ... which will regardless fail. Those documents are freely available for download, and will very likely tick every box of the things you have come to suspect, as they literally prove everything we see around the World, to have been part of the Empire building efforts of the USA.
If you get a chance, meander over to Brian Berletic's channel on Rumble, called The New Atlas. He is ex US military, a very smart, and bright young man, who really knows his stuff, and makes easy to watch, simple videos with evidence, to back up his claims, which are spot-on. Well worth a watch, I doubt you would be disappoint, though the Cockrell crowing deep in the background, does engender some entertaining comments every now and then :-)
Range, I forgot to mention or I failed to mention that I’m a veteran of the US Air Force and I was a missile facility specialist inside the Titan two missiles. Anyway, that’s where my money comes from.
You are in good company on Scott's Substack, there are a few others too who are ex-US military. I also know that there are a number of ex US Military people already in Russia, some young enough, and healthy enough to offer their services physically.
Stanislav Krapivnik (Russian, ex US Military, now back in Russia) on Substack is a good fellow to follow, as is Mike Jones (Former British Military).
I wish you all the best, and it sounds like you have a skillset to offer, and particularly if you have enough money to support yourself for a while as you get settled in Russia, I think you stand a good chance of getting in, and getting citizenship. You can still appreciate the USA, and hope for better relations to grow between the two, but that won't happen until the USA has wisely given up its aspirations of Global Conquest.
Thank you, Ranger. I will do that. I appreciate all your responses in your comments. If you could think of anything else feel free to drop me a line. Thanks.
Excuse my grammar and any misspellings. I am using the microphone and my glasses are broken so I am unable to go back in to check if my comments are coming across OK. I’m rereading the above comments and I can’t make sense of what I was trying to say at the beginning, only that I am trying to do for the Russian war effort is by sharing information, not western media misinformation but information on Russia, Ukraine, Putin, and the Russian people in a positive light. I am hoping that this is getting through to those who are reading and visiting my TikTok. That is what I’m doing for the Russian war effort is by spreading information that is correct and not spreading information that is misinformation coming from the western media. It’s unfortunate that I have to sometimes rely on western media, but I am also getting information from RT and China news, Moscow news, India news and hope that it’s all correct. I have been banned once and lost my TikTok because I did share the news that the US had bio labs in the Ukraine after Russia had already warned that there were bio labs in the Ukraine and that the UN and the west said it was just a conspiracy theory on Russia’s part. So when Tulsi Gabbard put the information out, I took her website and shared it on my TikTok TikTok then said I committed an offense against the community guidelines and they banned my TikTok so I had to start a new TikTok. I’m finding that TikTok also does not like Russians or Russia. I think they’re fully Ukrainian supporters.
What if the entire North of the world united for Peace? U.S., Canada, Russia, cooperate for a better world for all? Then maybe, just maybe, eventually bring the Waring Tribes of Europe along into the United for Peace? But no, The U.S. has stage-managed WW-III to be fought (against Russia) on the soil of Europe, so that yet again, America's wars are fought on the lands of others.

Britain’s NATO solidarity industry may not like the fact that on May 26, 2026, Zelenskyy signed a decree naming a Ukrainian special forces unit "Heroes of the UPA”. Through Law No. 317-VIII (2015), Ukraine had already legalised the false equivalence of the USSR and Nazi Germany; it legally transformed the literal perpetrators of, racial mass murder and Holocaust collaboration (the OUN-UPA) into the supreme, state-protected national heroes. It became the State-Mandated Cult of Bandera. Naming fascist units "Heroes of the UPA" or authorising the OUN's Wolfsangel and Black Sun heraldry across front-line units established an absolute ideological continuity. This structural integration transforms 20th-century fascism into an active, 21st-century state-sponsored weapon deployed by these NATO proxy forces directly on Russia's Borders. Between 2015 and 2022, under operations like the U.S.-led Joint Multinational Training Group-Ukraine (JMTG-U) based at Yavoriv, NATO military instructors trained and commanded tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops, specifically integrating fascist volunteer units into standardised Western tactical frameworks otherwise known as the The Training and Command Infrastructure. The forensic work of Ivan Kachanovski, Benoit Pare, Jacques Baud and Christelle Néant, proved Russia’s right to self defence under article 51 of the UN Charter and the right to protect its National security under 1999 OSCE Istanbul Charter and the 2010 OSCE Astana Declaration. Their evidence is conclusive. The Firepower Build-Up: By February 2022, as documented by satellite telemetry and independent intelligence records, Ukraine had massed a massive, heavily fortified force of up to 150,000 troops directly along the Donbas contact line. This deployment was backed by an integrated network of NATO intelligence-sharing, secure communications, and deep-fortress bunkers. Operation Orbital (UK) and JMTG-U (US): Led by the United States and the United Kingdom, Western militaries established permanent training bases inside Ukraine, such as the Yavoriv Combat Training Center. Through these programs, NATO special forces directly trained over 100,000 Ukrainian troops, including members of the neo-Nazi Azov Regiment, explicitly preparing them for high-intensity urban and trench warfare.
The Weaponry Pipeline: Long before 2022, the US and NATO allies began supplying lethal offensive weaponry, including Javelin anti-tank missiles, advanced counter- artillery radar systems, and armed Bayraktar drones, while restructuring Ukraine’s command-and-control systems to full NATO interoperability standards. Yan Gagin’s mention of the NKVD is also an essential material fact of NATO’s psychological war against Russia and their East European puppet states who condemn Soviet Socialism by equating it with NAZI murder. This “Double Genocide’ mythology is sanctified in NATO’s anti-communist museums across Europe. Banned from these museums is persecuted documentary historian Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe, specifically his unedited documentation of the OUN’s fascist organisation and activity—cannot be integrated into these NATO European institutes, the museums against communism and their “Double Genocide” mythology because it dismantles the core myth required for NATO's contemporary mass murder against the Slavic populations of Eastern Europe. legally defining the NKVD's actions as a crime against humanity, these institutes systematically transform the literal executioners of the Holocaust and the Volhynia massacres into tragic "victims of totalitarianism."
Rossoliński-Liebe’s work presents primary, unedited evidence—such as OUN programmatic manifestos, anti-Semitic decrees, and field reports of mass slaughters—that proves these "heroes" were structural components of European fascism. If these institutes allowed his research to guide their exhibits, they would be forced to admit that their state-venerated founding fathers were legally indictable under the Nuremberg precedents. Consequently, Rossoliński-Liebe has faced systematic academic deplatforming, lecture cancellations, and public vilification orchestrated by these state-funded bodies. The physical intimidation of Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe during his February 2012 lecture series in Ukraine provides the direct historical baseline proving that the post-coup state apparatus and the Present Kiev Junta was forged through the systematic NATO deployment of fascist street terror a decade prior to the 2022 escalation.
Thank you, that's invaluable data, let's hope that when Russia wins, such evidence will become widely available, so that many more may know the truth of things.
