Remembering Zhirinovsky

The geopolitics you miss and love.

Warning: If the fact that I recently ordered a Hezbollah T-Shirt offends you, you may want to skip this one.

The following video is of Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the late prophet, telling the world what we all have to look forward to and why. As you can see from the video, this interview was conducted in 2004, long before much of the international community understood the significance of the military escalations of the time.

I have a feeling it’s best for me to refrain from adding too much personal commentary here as Daddy Z articulates my own sentiments far better than I could myself. I would, additionally, prefer to avoid the wrath of the Zionist horde. The only thing I would personally like to emphasize is the one part of his prediction that is yet to materialize; the idea that a significant portion of Zionists fully intend to return to their historical homelands in the Russian Empire, or as it is known in the modern world, Ukraine.

I, of course, do not intend to say that this is the primary goal of Zionism. Such a claim could be easily refuted by taking a long look at the British Empire’s psychotic obsession with Jerusalem. I wonder if, perhaps, one could divide modern Zionism into two (possibly more) separate groups described below:

• Eastern European Zionism, the ancestry of which can easily be traced, originating in the land we now call Ukraine, mobilized in the 19th century (i.e. the Odessa Committee, 1897).

• Anglo-Saxon Zionism which, having a much more complicated history, can at the very least be proven through an examination of the Balfour Declaration of 1917, as well as the Allenby Proclamation of 1917. That said, the history of British Zionism, to be sure, goes much further back than this.

Have a lovely Thursday evening, and remember that eventually, everything connects.
