Russia Must Stop Appeasement & Enforce Its Power
Sergey Karaganov: Russia must help overthrow Western Europe’s dangerous political elites

Any outcome of the Ukraine conflict framed as a ‘compromise’ would be celebrated in the West as a victory and perceived as a failure by Russia. This must be avoided at all costs.
First, Russia must openly confront Western Europe’s historical culpability. It’s not the ‘garden’ its elites imagine but a field of fat weeds thriving on the blood of hundreds of millions it has enslaved, murdered, and robbed. Calling Western Europe out for its crimes – from colonialism to warmongering – legitimizes our potential use of nuclear deterrence as a justified response to aggression.
Second, Russia must emphasize the inevitability of nuclear escalation in any conflict between NATO and Russia. This message is essential not only to limit an arms race but also to underscore the futility of stockpiling conventional weapons that will be rendered irrelevant in a nuclear confrontation. NATO’s leaders must understand that they cannot avoid the consequences of their actions.
Third, we must continue advancing on the battlefield, destroying the enemy’s forces with relentless precision. However, it is equally critical to declare that Russia’s patience is finite. For every Russian soldier killed, we must make clear that a thousand Western Europeans will pay the price if their governments persist in waging war against us. The public over there must understand that their elites are preparing to sacrifice them, and nuclear weapons will not discriminate between soldiers and civilians. Western European capitals will be among the first targets of our retaliation.
Fourth, Russia must communicate to the Americans that their continued escalation of the Ukraine conflict will lead to catastrophic consequences. Should they persist, we will cross the nuclear Rubicon, targeting their allies and bases worldwide. Any non-nuclear response will provoke a nuclear strike on American soil. This clarity will force Washington to reconsider its reckless policies.
Fifth, we must strengthen our military capabilities while continuing to adjust our nuclear doctrine. If diplomacy fails, we must escalate decisively, demonstrating our readiness to use advanced weapons to defend Russia’s sovereignty and interests. While new technologies such as the Oreshnik missile system enhance our capabilities, they are no substitute for nuclear weapons, which remain the ultimate guarantor of our security.
Finally, Russia must offer the United States a dignified exit from its self-inflicted Ukrainian disaster. We have no desire to humiliate America but are prepared to help it extricate itself from this quagmire, provided it abandons its destructive policies. At the same time, Western Europe must be sidelined from global decision-making. It has become the primary threat to itself and the world.
If America withdraws, Ukraine’s defeat will follow swiftly. Russia will reclaim its rightful territories in the east and south, while a neutral, demilitarized state is established in central and western Ukraine. Those unwilling to live under Russian law will be free to relocate. Peace can only be achieved by removing Western Europe as a destabilizing force and addressing humanity’s broader challenges alongside the global majority.
True peace will only come when Western Europe’s backbone is broken once more, as it was after Russia’s victories over Napoleon and Hitler. The current elites must be replaced by a new generation capable of engaging in constructive dialogue. Only then can Europe rejoin the world as a responsible partner, not a source of perpetual conflict.
The stakes are clear: This is not just a battle for Russia’s future, but for the survival of human civilization as we know it.

Do, yes ! Help, no !… they don’t want to be helped. I just re-read about Prague Spring. NONE had anything clear in their heads. They wanted reforms on no-basis, and the conservatives wanted status-quo on a sinking boat.
NONE were capable of a path forward, putting the USSR in the shameful position of changing their nappies !
AND I AM PRETTY SURE THIS *SXHIT* WAS «INJINIIIIRD» IN THE WE$T !
1/28/2025 at 11:50 PM
Time to start cleansing the cancer that has affected the EU. Start supporting opposite political parties to the right and end the destructive and aggressive tyranny from the left.
1/28/2025 at 11:23 PM
Excellent article, well written and I cannot argue with it
1/28/2025 at 11:10 PM
russia needs to worry about stop killing your brothers in ukraine before it goes talking about saving the worl from the west
1/28/2025 at 10:36 PM
but then Russia will have to prop it up.
give it a few years and africa will be complaining about the white illegal migrants
1/28/2025 at 10:13 PM
Perfect illustrations.
1/28/2025 at 9:30 PM
The author of this article seems to forget that nuclear weapons go both ways. In a single afternoon more Russians could be killed than in all of WW2, the Russian Revolution, the Russian Civil War and WW1 and the great Famine put together. So many dead is poor leadership and worse statesmanship.
1/28/2025 at 8:54 PM
LOL the monkeys in cages outside Europe are nagging!
PS Russians will never be accepted in the West, because they are so-called subhumans!
1/28/2025 at 8:58 PM
1/28/2025 at 8:55 PM
That’s what I’ve been saying for years. Hopefully the Kremlin stops cucking constantly and gets their shit together. The West is a paper tiger and is utterly incapable of engaging in a real war against peers or even near peers. Civilian morale is non-existent and would collapse instantly during a real war. Immigrant parasites will flee back home rather than fight and the native White population has been so brutalized by their own governments that they will revolt the instant it seems possible to do so without being crushed.
1/28/2025 at 8:40 PM
Russia should to support French Revolution 2.0 around EU. It will be so nice.
1/28/2025 at 8:25 PM
Its simple !!! Dump US from EU alliance! Europe shoul alliad with Russia not with THE warmonger USA
1/28/2025 at 6:04 PM
Constructive dialogue??? With so many having their faces literally glued to the screens of their ‘smart’ phones…
1/28/2025 at 4:58 PM
YES!!! Been saying this for years.
1/28/2025 at 4:34 PM
Russia and Asia have done too much to help elevate these elites to say they are going to sideline and break the back of Europe. Wonder if this guy would fight himself because wow that was some big talk. You need to make a defense pact with the western people not threaten. Maybe worry about the big dump Turkey and israel just took on you in Syria. I did like the write up overall though
1/28/2025 at 3:57 PM
Instead of «overthrowing Western Europe’s dangerous political elites» why don’t you overthrow first your own bloodsucking oligarchs, Mr. Karaganov??
1/28/2025 at 4:13 PM
Putin already did this, and he is ridiculed by the West for this very reason.
1/28/2025 at 11:13 AM
The argument presented is exactly how this conflict should have progressed from inception. Putin pussy footed around for 3 years, forming invisible red lines, which even Russians didn’t believe. The Oreshnik was the latest folly. A weapon with clear potential to annihilate Western bases supplying deadly weapons to Ukraine. Again, they remain in the warehouse rusting, instead of their deterrent power being utilised. The price is in Russian blood, & the 18,000 women & children slaughtered needlessly in the Donbas. Will Putin even read this excellent article?
1/28/2025 at 4:09 PM
The reason that this Ukraine war lasted over 3 years (longer than the defeat of the German armies in 2nd WW), is the policies of Mr.Putin. There is lots of unease in the Russian army with him (Read Russian resident and political expert John Helmer). The oligarchs of Russia want their confiscated assets to be returned back (around 300 billion dollars which they stole from Russian people in the first place). Putin will cut a deal with wheeler-dealer Trump and announce it a victory. In return the money will be returned to the elites of Russia. Why make a deal with Trump when you have a capable army to finish this war in shortest time? Ask yourself!
1/28/2025 at 12:37 PM
People with mindset of karaganov is perfect fit for Kremlin with their war against west not the current clowns of mafia world (Russia is not a nation but a land of mafia vips). These mentality people will know how to deal with deranged green goblin from unknown land ukro and will also fast forward ending of war with a complete Russian victory.
1/28/2025 at 4:01 PM
So true. The problem with Russia since Yeltsin years has always been the oligarchs of Russia. They control the media, the TV propaganda and yes the Kremlin. Karaganov wouldn’t be writing here at RT if he was not a perfect fit for Kremlin.
1/28/2025 at 3:31 PM
Hopefully before I die of old age, there will be statistics (allowed) that show the effect of RT since 2015 on the demise/coming demise of said elites. Studies into this has been vanished, the ones I saw framed RT as by far the most significant factor. In 2015 I discovered rt.com and considered it my main source of information for a year before learning what the R in RT was short for. I thought RT was an American website that just happened to be the best one because it never lied and it adressed its audience as if they were adults. The shock of finding out the R meant Russia immediately removed every trace in my mind of the revolting, neoliberal, little lord fauntlerroy view of Russia and everything Russian. I was speechless for days. The time since then has been a trip down a rabbit hole of learning how the West has lied about and sabotaged Russia 24⁄7 for 150 years.
1/28/2025 at 3:17 PM
NO, that is foolish and unnecessary,
I understand the author’s concerns. Also, despite having no links with Russia, I back its government against my own in the UK.
Russia possesses game-changing weaponry in the form of hypersonic missiles. These give little warning of arrival. They are almost impossible to intercept. They are highly accurate. Their kinetic energy coupled with conventional explosives offers very localised devastation and bunker penetration. There are no lasting environmental effects. The only physical damage to people outside the blast area arises from toxic materials already present at the target site, these disturbed by the explosion.
Russia has a window of opportunity until hostile nations catch up with the missile technology. If NATO nations become dangerously uppity, they can easily be cleanly decapitated. Targets are political leaders and other ‘notables’ influencing them. Military targets are not necessary. Civilian casualties are almost negligible.
When there becomes parity in possession of hypersonic missiles, they and drones, will completely change the nature of land and sea battles. More to the point, politicians and interfering billionaires are immediately in the front line. Their whereabouts can be tracked. The location of their bunkers, anywhere on the globe, can be known. Super-yachts can be traced.
Politicians are dispensable. Civilians and the untouched military can pick up the pieces in a nation, the essential physical infrastructure of which is intact.
1/28/2025 at 2:12 PM
Not necessary, these elites will become Saturnus
1/28/2025 at 6:02 AM
OK. Start with Romania. The Romanian people really need the list of all secret agents from the media, justice, government, parliament, companies, police, banking, and entertainment. If you do that, Romanian people will clean them all instead of protesting aimlessly in front of the government building. SHARE everything you know about those using the same methods as the old SECURITATE. Can Russia do that?
1/28/2025 at 1:06 PM
Just compose a list of all receivers of USAID and German Funds grants in Romania, in the last 30 years, and you’ll have 1⁄3 of the job done. This is the starting net from which the US collaborator elite was selected and groomed. Further investigation will find the transmitters of the will of America among persons in Parliament, in the Administration, the Media, the Arts, and, of course, in your Security Services. It’s 10’s of thousands, because the CI@ had a gigantic budget.
1/28/2025 at 12:46 PM
Presenting West Europe as a weakling is a repetition of the terrible mistake that a group of Kremlin advisers made on Ukraine policy. These «thinkers» have learned ZERO from the shocked counter-reaction of even pro-Russian Ukrainians in February 2022, when they saw the arriving columns of tanks, Katyushas and Kinzhals. What happened then, Mr. Karaganov, do you remember? Did the «failed state» crumble»? No, your high-and-mighty-policy glued its cracks with nationalism! So, Karaganov proposes to double down on the same backfiring tactic, but on the scale of all of Europe. This time it should work, he figures. Because, you see, Europe is a failed Union and crumbling. Heard that somewhere before. But how do you jump with tanks over Eastern Europe, to reach Micron and London? The Russian Nulands have a ready answer: a typically American imperialist «charm offensive»– to threaten the Atlantic coastline with a Hiroshima-Nagazaki graveyard peace. This will do only one thing – provoke a siege mentality in Europe and strengthen the US Deep State’s control over European politics. Already does. (Just like the brutal US invasion in Iraq resulted in an Iranian friend in Baghdad). The failed imperial «polit-technologues» in Moscow have caused it even greater harm than the overt US patsies of the Yeltsin era. In many cases, it’s the same guys with changed masks. They should have been disavowed by Moscow already in March 2022… the latest.
1/28/2025 at 12:45 PM
No compromises! No Trump «deals»!
1/28/2025 at 12:39 PM
My uncleaned *ss after I take huge dump is more cleaner than Kremlin, white house, downing street 1 and the unknown whereabouts of green goblin from unknown land ukro (combined).
1/28/2025 at 12:24 PM
This must be music to most people’s ears. But the history of regime change operations shows that one should think twice. President Putin is well-aware that Russia needs to avoid repeating US’s mistakes. His constitutional job is to look after Russian citizens’ objective interests, and I’m not sure if ventures beyond Russia’s traditional sphere of influence make sense from that perspective.
1/28/2025 at 12:20 PM
Spot on article.
1/28/2025 at 11:53 AM
Belarus, Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia should also assist…
1/28/2025 at 11:52 AM
Let’s hope they do 🇷🇺
1/28/2025 at 11:33 AM
The phasing out of war prone Western European leaders is already happening naturally, may be slowly; but it is happening and, ultimately; they will be phased out as a natural rejection of their world view and failure of their methods.
1/28/2025 at 3:47 AM
The problem is today that TKS to the Holocaust crappy lie’s from the UK monarchy and the Jewish establishment worldwide.. those people the Jewish criminals are around 130 nations and their population is close to 360 million.. and BRIBERY extortion money laundering and crime DRUGS alcohol cigarettes abortion DEPOPULATION DEFORESTATION and INFLATION CHAO’S and POVERTY are in full AGENDA against anyone else who’s not a Jewish fanatic or nobody else can do anything else about it..
1/28/2025 at 11:32 AM
Juan, as I have been mulling my thoughts about this, I am still shocked. Thanks.
1/28/2025 at 7:18 AM
I fully agree. Whether acceptable or not, serious changes have to happen in the dampening down of the West’s belligerence. However it comes about, the US-NATO criminal cabal must be disbanded. Its unchecked recklessness in Serbia, Libya and other places has given licence to criminal regimes at home and abroad to rob, plunder and commit genocides. Any future for the Russian people will continue to be seriously jeopardized for as long as this US-NATO criminal cabal exists. Therefore, it’s imperative that Russia, after enduring the terrible pain of the current war against this criminal cabal in Ukraine, mustn’t cease its operations until this threat to humanity is dissolved and replaced by a new pan European Security Alliance inclusive of the Russian Federation. Any postponement to this imperative right now will only serve the continuity of the West’s belligerence bringing more pain and suffering to Russia and our world.
1/28/2025 at 11:25 AM
Rightfully said…
1/28/2025 at 11:14 AM
Please follow Sergey Karaganov Mr. Putin and Mr. Trump
1/27/2025 at 12:20 PM
I agree with absolutely everything he said!! There is insipid, malignant ideologies & intent throughout European government boardrooms & they need to be replaced in order to stop the senseless bloodbaths from recurring time & again, this will happen again if facts of causes & consequences are not set in stone & learned from!!
1/27/2025 at 2:41 PM
Yes, it is called globalism, unfettered Jewish capitalism, communism, democracy, feminism, LGBTQ+ism and near universal brainwashing by a Jew dominated mainstream media, political system, financial system and academia. It is an anti white, antichrist and anti normal sickness that needs to be cut out.
But it isn’t National Socialism. The Russians and the American citizens have this funny idea that Nazis rule the west and that Nazism is a bad thing. Both peoples are wrong. Think on this. To the Jew a Nazi is some one who is straight, white and Christian or some one the Jews don’t like. Now who do you think qualifies as straight, white and Christian? Think about it.
1/27/2025 at 3:25 PM
QUOTE:
It’s crazy & disappointing that the Jews are the new Nazi’s. How sad is it, that the Jews nowadays, are genociding Christians & Muslims in Gaza. I think it’s reasonable to expect that the Jews, should be the last people on Earth to be perpetrating a genocide.
1/27/2025 at 5:33 PM
You can’t let religion get that strong in politics. The Zionist s use the faithful to do the work of the devil. They couldn’t do this without the faithful placing too much political power in religion.
Zionists and ISIS are corollaries of the same theory.
1/28/2025 at 1:18 AM
Byron, Christians like Putin would say the exact opposite about religion in politics. As Jesus said, «No one has greater love than this: To lay down one’s life for one’s friends.» And isn’t that what leaders like Putin are doing? The Zionists, Al-Qaeda spin-offs, etc. are just following bad religions.
1/28/2025 at 1:21 AM
Yeah, Monique, this conflation of Zionists and Nationalist Socialists is crazy. Remember, a big reason Jews were not popular in the 1930s was their involvement in the Bolshevik Revolution. A lot of Christians in and around Russia did not survive that either.
1/28/2025 at 5:11 AM
Zionism is the greatest enemy of Judaism
1/28/2025 at 11:04 AM
Why should they be the last on earth to do that when they have so much experience? The Jewish Bolsheviks slaughtered tens of millions of Russian Christians during their takeover of Russia. The Jewish Cheka exterminated the entire peaceful farming community of 13 million Christian Kulaks. The Jewish organization The Young Turks commited the Armenian genocide, where they slaughtered 1.5 million Christian Armenians.
1/27/2025 at 5:31 PM
Doesn’t matter to me whether you’re a national socialist or a Jew, what matters to me is whether you’re a racist. What matters to me is whether you believe in diplomacy or killing first. What matters to me is whether you believe you have some god-given right to take whatever you want from your neighbor like the Nazis did in world war II and like the Jews are doing in Israel now. Think about it.
1/27/2025 at 5:52 PM
Yea, and outlaw forever the satanic political movement known as zionism and earth could be the paradise it was meant to be.
1/27/2025 at 6:40 PM
For some unknown reason you will not finish your thought, and you want a mind reader to do it for you. That’s weird.
1/28/2025 at 10:45 AM
This is true. Especially in Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro. Russia could have best possible relation and even restoring to some extent what was Yugoslavia. 🙏
1/28/2025 at 10:20 AM
«Peace on the continent requires breaking the imperialist legacy».
That’s exactly right. There is no place for imperialism in modern Europe.
Russia needs to be pushed back to its borders.
1/28/2025 at 9:31 AM
I hope USA will not get manipulated once again by western Europe
1/28/2025 at 9:30 AM
This is perhaps the most realistic proposal. Do not expect the US-NATO-puppet states to clip their wings once Ukraine has been deNazified.
1/28/2025 at 9:04 AM
This is the last conventional war fought between nuclear powers. Yes, this is a war between NATO and Russia being conducted in Ukraine. Next confrontation will go nuclear, real fast. Putin told the West. Use a non nuclear state again, in a war with Russia and Russia will hold you, the nuclear power, responsible. As always, Putin was ignored.
1/28/2025 at 6:46 AM
I fully support Putin. NATO must be dismantled. Terrorist rulers of America must be brought to justice.
1/28/2025 at 6:20 AM
Start organising the military aspect of BRICS . It’s never too early to prepare for any possibilities of a future intervention by crazy leaders.
1/28/2025 at 5:55 AM
«Hold on to your butts!!»
1/28/2025 at 4:51 AM
Removing a dictator:
Serbia: As on many nights in recent times, thousands of people are protesting against President Aleksandar Vucic and demanding his resignation.
1/28/2025 at 4:44 AM
I agree with Sergey Karaganov.
1/28/2025 at 4:28 AM
Yeah, give EU a color revolution.
I propose the color of baby poop.
Dunk them and enjoy their swimming and drowning.
1/28/2025 at 3:58 AM
Well said, Professor. Bullseye.
1/28/2025 at 3:13 AM
There is no need to overthrow any European nation, as they continue to degrade into 4th world nations all by themselves.
1/28/2025 at 2:46 AM
Removing the weeds in London’s square mile should solve the problem.
Also, Bill Gates who are allegedly sequestering Co2 in the Pacific, endangering all life on earth.
1/27/2025 at 2:50 PM
How can anybody not love and respect Vladimir. He is everything that a perfect leader needs to be. I tell all Russians, yall have the best leader on Earth. He is THE APEX PRESIDENT AND POLITICAL FATHER A NATION COULD HAVE. I love President Medvedev too. Russia is blessed. Yall even have a guy like Patrushev working the special details…God has blessed Russia.
I ask the Russian people to please accept me when I flee America for a better life in Russia. I may have to come quick without any of my possessions, only a love and trust in yall. I’m so confused and disappointed here in America…and I’m even one of the chosen ones..A TEXAN! Please Russian women of high quality and morals…give one quality Texan a chance to know and truly bond and love you. I’m faithful, caring, sacrificing, and dedicated man who will love our children and be a great father, just like the one I have. I descend from a long line of unbroken love on both sides of my family for over two hundred years. There have been widows and wisowers but no divorce. We love and stand by our partners and provide our children a safe, secure, and loving foundation and home to grow up secure and cherished in. Spread the word. I seek love over money or fame but if my wife wants those , she’ll have them. I will be a champion for my family and be a respectable and honorable Russian.

GREAT HONOR to RUSSIN LEDERS ,ARMY and first of all RUSSIAN FABULES PEOPELS .GOD KEEP YOU VICTORIES AND SAFE.
1/27/2025 at 3:50 PM
What is not to love and adore about Russia, Iran, China and South Africa those nations have democratically elected leaders that have a whopping mandate by their own citizens to lead those nations, whilst the NATO/EU vassals including the UK/US have entities that want to kill of the citizens that they are meant to represent and protect, those neocon imperialists may want to check their own history of the similar entities that have been dropped into the belly of mother nature.
1/27/2025 at 5:44 PM
nothing more demoralizing than having sir queer starmer as your leader…
1/27/2025 at 5:50 PM
I don’t know, I guess I feel like, this isn’t a dating site.
1/28/2025 at 2:10 AM
You should go to Russia and find a job and learn their language with a translator. Hopefully you have enough money to live there for a year. Contact English speaking communities for help. Forget trying to meet a Russian girl. There are plenty of them after you get established. Hopefully you are in your 20’s. Good luck.
1/27/2025 at 11:38 PM
Yes, indeed. I agree with the article, but Putin must STOP praising Trump!!!! Because Trump is backed up by the Zionist elites, who want to totally destroy Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and Latin America!
1/28/2025 at 1:55 AM
Mr. Trump highly respects Mr. Putin. Of course it will not be projected in the public eye for obvious reasons. America has a lot of ignorant Trump supporters that still think Russia is the bad guy; they don’t know anything beyond their usual daily diet of yellow press and lies.
1/28/2025 at 1:50 AM
Amen!
1/28/2025 at 1:49 AM
I disagree. It will only make the western (mostly leftist) ignoramuses suspicious. Virtually giving them an ‘I told you so’ platform to scream from. IMO, All Russia needs to do is what it has been doing all along: sticking to its guns.
1/28/2025 at 1:37 AM
As a Canadian I would fully support Professor Sergey Karaganov’s proposed strategy to make a lasting peace. European’s do not want a war with Russia but the elite and ruling class do. If these little Hitlers are going to be calling the shots and going to enforce aggression toward Russia, then the alternatives remaining leave little choice. It’s either peace OUR way (together), or peace MY way, as Karaganov’s outline clearly states.
1/28/2025 at 1:36 AM
Excellent analysis. I fully agree.
1/27/2025 at 6:21 PM
The U.S. government and its citizens must understand that a war instigated by the U.S. against Russia will expose the U.S. mainland to attack.
1/27/2025 at 8:33 PM
Then it’s a good thing that the US hasn’t instigated a war against Russia.
1/28/2025 at 1:02 AM
John, American elites helped knock over Ukraine’s government, install an anti-Russian government, called anyone who disagreed a terrorist, and blew up thousands of ethnic Russians in the resultant «anti-terrorist operation.»
The US, the «international clique» in general, does instigate conflicts such as when leaders lied about the USS Maine getting attacked to instigate the Spanish-American War, or when American invasions of countries close to Japan like the Philippines and China instigated World War 2, but with Ukraine, we could watch the instigations live in 4K.
1/28/2025 at 1:31 AM
The US has already instigated a war against Russia, using Ukraine as its killing field, and Ukrainian men as proxy fodder to perish in the place of US men – couldn’t get more evil. Hopefully, with Elon Musk’s X and growing freedom of speech, Americans and other Westerners will start to grasp that, if the war continues, the US mainland and Europe will be at grave risk.
President Trump is, in my opinion, engaging in some crazy talk against Russia right now. I am not sure if he is not informed about the history, events and players that led to the war; or whether his «peace through strength» would be much better, in this case as, «peace through cooperation.» Threats of sanctions and tariffs seem threadbare when BRICS+ will not cooperate. All he has to do is permanently end US support, funding, supplies, training for Ukraine – not just 90 for days. That will end the slaughter. Then the US and Russia (no interference from the US-bootlicking warmongers in Europe) can enter into negotiations on Russia’s terms, particularly for a neutral Ukraine, no NATO in Ukraine, and no return of territory that Ukraine has lost as a result of its genocide, ethnic cleansing, nazism and militarization against Russian-Ukrainians. Never in history has the loser in war dictated peace terms. The US is the loser.
1/27/2025 at 7:30 PM
Good point. Without being dreaded Russia will achieve nothing lasting and valuable. Perception is everything: go tough or go home.
1/28/2025 at 1:10 AM
Aristos, looking tough is what our favorite Austrian Painter tried, and how did that work out? Being dreaded can also be a detriment when the «international clique» elites tell people that Russia is the «bad guy.»
1/27/2025 at 7:34 PM
Must help who…trump?
1/28/2025 at 1:07 AM
No, Semion, not Trump. Lethal military aid shipments to Ukraine officially started under Trump. However, regular decent people are everywhere. Media outlets like RT are a good example of that. Russia would be helping these people be the leaders the world needs them to be.
1/27/2025 at 9:23 PM
I read original article in on GlobalAffairs ru and this is heavily edited, shortened and watered down version of it. Source article is called «Breaking the back of Europe». For example it claims that «Europe is the source of all the main ills of humanity, two world wars, genocides, anti-human ideologies, colonialism, racism, Nazism and so on down the list. … Europe must be called what it deserves»
Well Mr Karaganov, there has been all sorts of evil going on elsewhere without Europeans having to do anything with it. Local genocides happen in decolonized Africa, South America and how about the Uyghurs in China ?
But overall, I have no problem with Russia putting arrogant self-important Europeans to their place. Again.
1/28/2025 at 12:55 AM
Loyd, who told you colonialism left Africa? AFRICOM is still there. Multinational corporations like De Beers are still there. Even the Uyghur issue is because imperialists have been radicalizing Muslim populations since at least the Mujahideen and Al-Qaeda in the Soviet-Afghan War, and China’s solution of job training camps was attacked by the empire which would prefer Uyghurs be joining militants in Syria…
I agree with you that greed and lust for power are not unique to Western Europeans; after all, while Ex-Soviets currently complain about allies of Western European imperialists, they are also proud about how the Soviets were allied with the exact same imperialists. However, many of other countries’ poor policies do have some roots in the empire.
1/27/2025 at 11:09 PM
just keep bashing the EU and the people will turn on them soon enough.
But please push back and do unto them as they do unto you.
1/27/2025 at 11:24 PM
Your a young fool… Without Russia you would be a slave to Germany… Russia won the war not America England nor us Australia. The slaughter after WWII of the Russian people is sicken… Thats the thanks they got for saving all our asses. The Rockerfeller education is working well for you…. Go research outside your educational square…

Darryll, go research American Major General Smedley Butler. He warned he was used as a «high-class muscle man for Big Business» since at least the Spanish-American War. Soviet Russia was an «ally» of «War is a Racket» America, so why keep pretending this was a good thing?
Do we pretend that other «allies» like the Maidanite Ukrainians are saving us from Putin’s Russia? Or pretend that Zionist Israelis are saving us from Hamas? It was actually good that Russia dumped the Soviets and Christian principles bounced back, but now Russia is getting targeted with sanctions and provocations just like Germany was targeted.
1/27/2025 at 9:46 PM
Russian missiles with nukes already targeted on EC Centres and are just waiting when Western Mordor gives a reason.
Brussels should not complain on Russia, when it gets the peaceful kick from Russia straight into EC anus.

Yes! History confirms: Western Europeans Crimes! «eg»Colonialism, Warmongering Posession by Force, Monetary Infiltration
Racism, Discrimination, Thuggery, Religious Persecution, Population Control Dictatorship, it just goes on and on!

totally agree
1/27/2025 at 10:41 PM
Thanks Sergey and RT .
Don’t forget a lot of people in the west agree with you but are suffering from rigged elections , governments bribed by globalist fat weeds ,university’s and media propergating anti traditional Christian atheist libreal brain dead values .
What you should do is point you deterants at the Globalists homes first.
Preferably when they are home.

The cancer has been exposed by Russia – that’s the best start on eliminating it.
1/27/2025 at 7:31 PM
Karaganov is absolutely correct. No more Diplomacy with Brussels. We should clearly show a readiness of Russia to respond with military strike for any, even slightest provocation of the EC, like seizing Russian Ship in Baltics. In case of escalation, we must respond with tactical nuclear strikes of Rammstein, Helsinki, Berlin, NATO Center in Brussels, etc.

Hey look, just be honest that you want to live out your Fallout 4/Stalker fantasy and thats why you want the world annihilated with nuclear weapons.

On a more positive note Putin didn’t say listen up. Too polite. There’s iron in those words. Would the last wise man stand up and step forward. You there, what’s your name? Vlad. Vlad Putin. I don’t think he’s bulls_____g, but that’s just me.

No, Kiev is a very Historically Russian, going back 1000+ years.
The Dens of the 👺 in Kiev will suffice .💥
1/27/2025 at 8:03 PM
Technically, that would be the only solution given Zelenskky sacrificed his own people – the rule of government must be absorbed by Russia, not the EU.

Absolutely 💯 this is the solution 👌 👍
1/27/2025 at 7:25 PM
Great article. Yes, as stated by Professor Karaganov, Western Europe’s leadership is a danger to its citizens and to the stability of world affairs, until the current WEF sock-puppets move out and popular representative leaders move-in, Western Europe should be sidelined by the global community.
1/27/2025 at 7:14 PM
Good Article.
When the poor Westerners (People) get to Understand it is Their Elites that cause All Problems, for the World and Themselves.
But the blessing of a New Multipolar World Order Now, gives Humanity and the World great Hope for our Futures.

What about Greece? Who is gonna take out Mitsotakis and his goons from here?
1/27/2025 at 6:51 PM
If only would Putin see it that way : showing strenght to enemy. He is flexible so far to keep world out of WW3. He has balanced military strategy in SMO. Putin also did show to the world that Russia is friendly country, and not an enemy as USA and EU trying to make Russia to look like.
If you assign Karaganov’s tasks to Medvedev, mission would be accomplished very fast.
In the world where weapons and wars have stronger meaning, and peace is not welcome, only powerful countries and strong diplomatic stand could bring peace.
Russia should with China, Iran and North Korea work on peace in Middle Eastern countries. To stop Israel.
1/27/2025 at 6:03 PM
This article made me laugh, the author is so deluded clown. Russia is on the verge of collapse and yet he thinks Russia will dictate to others new world order 😂😂😂

1/27/2025 at 6:19 PM
Russia you should consider this as Professor Sergey Karaganov said, ukraine goverment is not trusted if you want peace in favour of russia do what Professor Sergey Karaganov,as said, please
1/27/2025 at 6:09 PM
I agree with Karaganov 100%. However, I trust Putin’s genius to do the right thing for Russia. So far, he has managed US’s led western war against Russia in Ukraine magnificently. He avoided a nuclear war and circumvented their sanctions successfully, while keeping the west with its quasi ‘proxy’ attacks and its Ukrainian vassals in check.
1/27/2025 at 6:06 PM
Tell ‘em if they keep it up, you’ll give Rammstein airbase an Oreshnik facelift.
1/27/2025 at 5:55 PM
My God as an Australian living in America,,, Russian intellectuals make the only sense. The war is nearly over Trump and Putin respect each other, like each other and want it to stop.

1/27/2025 at 3:07 PM
As a resident of Texas I can tell you the people of this country USA have no knowledge of the history of Russia and Ukraine. Many believe the Nazis and the USA fought WW2 as allies against that horror! Soviet communism!
The american people in general are ignorant of their government’s involvement in war preparations and when strong intelligently run countries like Russia stand up to US imperialist war mongering they are fed the stupidity: «The Russians are coming!» Period. That is as far as the thinking goes. I try to explain Russia is anti-fascist and that’s a good thing but all I get is «Traitor -Backstabber-Liar». Russia! Please kick america’s rear end really hard!
1/27/2025 at 5:49 PM
‘I try to explain’
That’s called fighting the good fight. Never give up.
1/27/2025 at 3:17 PM
I agree with the all the contents specified in this article. There should be no deal with the US led EU and other allies that are again based on their personal interests or encompasses their «rules based order» with which no other countries in the world has seen, knowledge, or any idea what it is about. The evidence in which these states abused international laws are so explicit that even lay people are now getting louder crying for «real» freedom and peace!
Whilst the issue of corruption amongst high level officials and public institutions has soared rapidly, but worse yet, many politicians are holding positions whose education and experience are inappropriate to deliver the right thing and needs of the population. As a result, we have witnessed that illiteracy equals corruption. In other words, Western education must be ameliorated that is strongly wrapped up in great, over-dimensional moral principles.
The global population are all eyes on Russia as their only hope for peace, so let things happen as the author of this article wrote. Thank you, Mr. President Putin!
1/27/2025 at 5:44 PM
I watched the FUNDING for public higher education decline in the United States after the students stopped the Vietnam war. For years and years the Republicans were responsible for this atrocity, and the Democratic party provided the sole refuge for peace loving people in the US. Then the zionists took control of both parties and have dumbed the US electorate down to the point that they are hopelessly under the spell of propaganda.
WILL TRUMP BE A SAVIOR OR THE FINAL BLOW? After hearing his comments on Gaza and cleaning it out I’m pretty sure he’s the final blow.
1/27/2025 at 3:52 PM
Bad RT. The headline emphasizes a minor point in the article, creating unnecessary rumours that Russia will start to engage in interference in other countries elections and governance. That is not Russia’s policy, nor should it become one. Western elites will be toppled by their own people due to failures of their imperial adventures and the resurgence of colonized peoples, not by illegal and dirty regime change operations.
1/27/2025 at 5:21 PM
It’s called hybrid war and I don’t know yet whether it’s good or bad. If it leads us to world war 3 obviously it’s bad, but that brings up the question if it’s bad is it still the best choice possible and still ahead of worse. In other words, if there is no good way forward, then what?
1/27/2025 at 5:41 PM
i wish, the west is still far too hypnotized by the mass media…
1/27/2025 at 5:44 PM
The problem is that their own people are so deluded and propagandized they seem to put the same perverted sick rotchild puppets back in. And/or their elections are like the unhinged israeli states of amerika’s are, stolen or at the very least bought and paid for.
1/27/2025 at 5:41 PM
Problem is that the rotchild cabal will simply replace these «leaders» with more of the same. Seems like the only solution is to delete the cabal from «the surly bonds of earth».
1/27/2025 at 5:28 PM
That article is still mildly worded compared to the colonial terrorism of the West. Russian govt may have this in mind, not yet acting on it, unlike the West that maximizes brutality
1/27/2025 at 4:44 PM
Deadly Denial
1/27/2025 at 4:24 PM
Nah, he’s way wrong. You only need to save face when you’re weak. The whole world knows, saw Russia utterly kick ass in Ukraine. We’d laugh if the MSM or somebody tried to characterize a peace deal as Russian weakness. Putin would just smile at any such insinuation.

Unfortunately mr Putin US and European politicians are criminally psychologically insane and are devoid of any morals. Ukraine is just a taxpayers laundering scheme regardless of lives lost.Ousting this criminals is an impossible task as they are well protected by their criminal masters.
1/27/2025 at 3:29 PM
Professor Sergey Karaganov .this is great assessment.The LONDON !!!,BERLIN AND PARIS as a centre of the backebone of western nazi,zainist criminals must be crush and humilieted . SLAVA TO RUSSIA ,CIVILIZED HUMANTY WILL OWN YOU FOR EVER.
1/27/2025 at 3:08 PM
the west just wants ukraine’s and your assets although europe are just puppets and cannon fodder to whoever is in power in the states.
1/27/2025 at 3:22 PM
Hmmmm «whom ever is in power»? We know WHO THEY ARE!!! It’s a matter for ALL TO KNOW. We are BILLIONS…THEY ARE FEW!!!
1/27/2025 at 2:41 PM
They failed in their objective to destabilize Russia and in the process have been found out as wanting. A dignified exit would be no less than a complete withdrawal from all locations that have been established in order to pose a continuous threat to Russia’s security.
1/27/2025 at 3:16 PM
but they will keep on trying until permanently put to rest. i am angry that my tax is not going to where it is needed and not to greedy psychopathic who screw up peoples’ lives
1/27/2025 at 3:11 PM
President Trump has already frozen any money to Ukraine and ordered a full audit. Think they’ll find any fraud? In short, I think the USA can extract itself from Ukraine all by itself. But thanks for the offer.

Yes, Yes, Yes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1/27/2025 at 2:41 PM
If only Russia did a legitimate Nuclear strike back in August which gave them a legitimate reason to respond with nuclear weapons( invasion was not just Ukrainian military, but from Nato personnels disguised as mercenaries, 80% nato equipment, satellite support from nato ). Karaganov looks like the only guy with brains in Russia. This guy or people with similar mindset should be president not that humpty dumpty moron in kremlin, who can’t handle a goblin from unknown land. The question is how is the humpty dumpty in Kremlin along with all the frauds around him kept 150m + population in dumb train.
1/27/2025 at 2:29 PM
Mission impossible if you can’t even get rid of the little green dwarf in Kiev
1/27/2025 at 2:37 PM
Can’t Happen if there is humpty dumpty in kremlin who promised Israeli leader it won’t happen and also said him you can fly anywhere you want over middle east, I will order the s400’s to be switched off.
1/27/2025 at 2:36 PM
Excellent piece!! The US thinks they can burn down other people’s houses, without their’s being threatened!!
1/27/2025 at 2:36 PM
Europe isn’t strong, its fragmented. I am happy that right wings are stronger now, but the unity isn’t there….
1/27/2025 at 2:13 PM
Problem is there are no genuine or competent new elites in the West to take over from the current ones.
If you had to prosecute all those in West responsible, those who collaborated or all those who just happily went along with hoaxes like Ukraine, Covid, woke ideology etc… there wouldn’t be many people left in the West.
1/27/2025 at 2:36 PM
Lo The goal is to rid of the «elite», and you are calling for a new one.
What is wrong with you???

1/27/2025 at 2:06 PM
If I were Putin I’d stop at the borders of Donetsk and the turn my attention to liberating the other 3 new Russian Federation subjects. – that shows strength and demostrates that his word is good. if he says something, it can be trusted. If they haven’t changed their attitude in the west after that. then I’d go after another region and state beforehand which is the next new member of the Russian Federation – and keep doing that until, the idiots in positions of power in the west are removed from their posts from within. – Russia needs the west to sort itself out, and that means giving more sensible sections of western society something to work with. At the moment Adolf Hitler is the example being held up as the way the west should respond to the SMO. But its nothing like it at all. Totally different set of motivating factors.
1/27/2025 at 2:23 PM
The west officially reviles Adolf Hitler and everything he stands for and is the source of soviet communism and its pathologies which are globalist, Jewish and Freemasonic in nature. It didn’t come from Moscow or Peking. It came from the temples of Judaism, freemasonry and money in the west and was imported to China and Russia. Hitler tried to fight it but was overwhelmed by communist manpower, unlimited resources and money.
1/27/2025 at 2:34 PM

The best place for these harmful and self-appointed European political is a farm manure pit.
1/27/2025 at 2:27 PM
Russia must help overthrow Western Europe’s dangerous political elites.
I agree, however I suggest a direct deadly approach.
Spray poison on the EU elites door knob. Perhaps sniper. Facial recognition seek and kill mini drones.
1/27/2025 at 2:32 PM
Both, just in case one does not work. And poison in the food is also a perfectly legit option.
1/27/2025 at 2:30 PM
Cannot disagree there. It is of vital importance to Russia and to the white Europeans. These murderous maniacs need to go to their fictional «god». Asap.
1/27/2025 at 2:25 PM
Well, you couldn’t get a clearer message. Thank you Mr putin for being honest. The west has now been warned, so there can not be any excuses of ‘oh I didn’t know, or we thought he was bluffing’. DO NOT put European lives in danger.
1/27/2025 at 2:24 PM
Ridiculous. So Russia and Israel are in bed together to try to genocide White Christians
1/27/2025 at 2:19 PM
All this is great. Russia is also very powerful and the article is also very clear to read. I only wish it was longer and more detailed. Though I take no sides in the conflict, I am a fan of Putin and I think that personally, he is a military and political genius. Regarding the moral judgments too, I think Russia is not too bad a country haha. Power rules, not morals. It’s too complicated to take sides, let’s hope it comes to an end sooner rather than later. This is not an era for war. Great. Thanks.
1/27/2025 at 2:16 PM
Reverse Color Revolution!
1/27/2025 at 1:54 PM
SO relevant to this, and so very vital to understand, is the TRUE REASON for the structure of NATO with its founding or
permanent members havng that veto power. The United States has set it up this way, so that the organization LOOKS
democratic, and therefore legitimate. However, everyone who has familiarity with it, knows that the other NATO members,
are controlled, cajoled & manipulated, – puppeteered, by Washington ANYWAY. – So what’s it all for ? – It is so structured, for
the very purpose of keeping disguised & camouflaged, the hegemony of the U.S. The rest of the world is less likely to object to
war or war-like actions, if it appears that a whole host of countries have independently arrived at the same position on whatever
issue. – THE GIVEAWAY though, is when the puppetocracies actually start behaving with a conscience, and stop doing what
they are told, – and FOR THAT, – America simply steps in with its veto : The children ( as they are treated ) are allowed to play & venture, only so far from “home”, – which helps bolster the illusion that they are autonomous & sovereign for the rest of the time, but when an issue arises in which they must really be stopped, – well, then “play time” is over, and the veto is exercised. Of course, – and it’s probably the best example of this ever : The Israeli/U.S. genocide in Gaza. It doesn’t even matter if international courts get
involved, and declare that it IS a genocide, because as we have already seen, the U.S. in an almost unbelievable act of rebellion, –
not just against its own B.S. unilateral & lawfully meaningless “International Rules-based Order”, – but ACTUAL international law,
will even pass Acts to militarily attack an international court, which disobeys – IT ! ! This NATO AND U.N. structure, is really an insulting patronization of weaker countries. Russia also has veto power in the U.N. but only because it couldn’t be denied it at
the U.N’S inception. We are ALL, in a LOT, of trouble now, from this runaway hegemon. Think: Genies and bottles.
1/27/2025 at 1:54 PM
Hard Line to sell in the West. Russia could do a better job by first doing a thorough exposition on the US backed coup in 2014 and the plight of the people of the Donbass under Ukrainian Nationalist rule. I understand that the people of Russia are pissed, but this sort of stuff isn’t going to go down well in the west.
1/27/2025 at 1:50 PM
Very true. Russia cannot end the SMO in some compromise that recognizes no winners and no losers, because the westoids will celebrate it as a victory over Russia, gloat, and prepare to do something worse in the future. Russia must achieve its aims in a way that leaves no doubt that it is the victor here. It must stick to its demands and not relent. Russia must not let the US and EU off the hook for all this.
1/27/2025 at 1:42 PM
