Minsk III Solves Sorcerer Putin's Plight - For Now.
Minsk III Solves Sorcerer Putin's Plight - For Now.
And "Succession in Russia: Who Called It Right?"
One sole Russia "expert" remains unbrainwashed by internal Russian Disinfolklore OR by Russian Disinfolklore focussed on confusing foreign Russia "experts."
Ilya Ponomarev the now exiled ex-Duma member (the sole member of the Ruschian legislature to vote against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in March 2014), of course, gets the essential structure of the Chef Saucerer and the Chief Sorcerer Putin's relationship and plight:
The Chef is Putin Sorcerer's Chief Apprentice and Putin, the Master, was not yet ready to give the Chef the reins to reign over All The Russians.
How to escape this bind? Fortunately the Chef Saucerer has an opportunity to conquer vast territories in Africa and continue to deliver vast containers of gold and diamonds to his Master Putin.
Yet, the Master's project in Ukraine depended on the Chef Saucerer who needed a way out.
But how to convince his Master that Wanger Nazi's abandonment of Ukraine was non-negotiable?
A plight, to be sure.
Thus, a coup with a certain amount of improvisation.
This Plight of the Sorcerer is a perennial problem:
When the Apprentice wants to make their own way in the world, while the Master Sorcerer needs their Apprentice, how do they manage to part ways without one destroying the other?
Ilya gets (as I did in a post a month before the coup) that the optimum way out of the Sorcerer's Plight is set out in the Mahābhārata:
"In the Mahābhārata, the deal is made:
The Demons free the Apprentice from the Master Sorcerer's stomach, without killing the Master Sorcerer.
And, both the Master Magister Magi Sorcerer Putin and the Apprentice Chef Saucerer honour their agreement."
With Minsk III Agreement we now have a stable compromise between the Chef Saucerer and Chief Sorcerer.
The question now is:
Will the strong bond between the Chef Apprentice and the Magister Master Putin withstand Machiavellian intrigues AND Ukraine's imminent military victory?
Putin didn't have any choice but to take the gamble, as the Chef Saucerer made it clear that when he had told his Master that he was leaving Ukraine with his Wanger Army intact, he meant it.
There was no power on earth or in heaven which would take the Chef's Wanger army from him.
In the Mahābhārata, the Master and the Apprentice's Minsk III compromise is honoured, permanently.
Let's see how this hypermodern manifestation of the Sorcerer's Plight turns out.
Putin's cunning plan anyway has backfired: No-one blinked yesterday at the thought of the Wanger Nazi Chef taking over from the Putin Nazi.
The Chief Sorcerer Master had counted on the world panicking at his savage Apprentice taking over Russia.
Instead, there was a certain degree of jubilation.
When faced with one Ruschist Nazi like Putin Sorcerer (who has been threatening nuclear annihilation and killed millions already), another Russian Wanger Nazi (the Sorcerer's Apprentice) made NO difference to any of us except in this regard:
The Wanger Chef was likely to withdraw all Russia's troops from Ukraine sooner than his Master.
But this is a small matter as:
Ukraine will expel them soon, the Master Sorcerer will be killed, and the Chef Saucerer, having proven himself, will take over Ruschia in time anyhow.
So this means everyone in the Russian power vertical from Putin down to the merest tea deliverer in an FSB office or State troll farm better keep on the Chef Saucerer's good side.
So expect stasis in Russia as everyone tries to sit on two chairs at once, until Ukraine prevails, and expels Russia from 100% of its land.
P.S. Russia "experts" who yesterday were surprised by the coup, today are minimising it - here's why:
⚡️Succession in Russia: Who Called It Right?
Russia "experts" still selling their own confusion about Russia, its succession, how power is communicated, and who the Chef really is.
As a diplomat in occupied Luhansk 2015-2018 I negotiated with the first generation of Wanger Nazis every day. That's how I get how they work in two realms: the informational / magical realm of psychological manipulation (Disinfolklore) AND the warrior dimension.
Today, "experts" who see the Chef of Disinfolklore as the character he's been publicly playing for the past few months miss his role in getting Brexit done, Trump elected, and tens of billions in gold and diamonds out of Africa:
Therefore they continue to miss the place this playacting "mercenary" (and the Ozero Cooperative of Oligarch whose candidate for the leadership of Ruschia he is) actually plays inside the Russian power vertical. He is the Chief Sorcerer Putin's Chef Apprentice.
Let's not fall for the image shapeshifters like the Chef and his Master Magi Putin🪄cast into the minds of so-called "Russia experts."
Let's see who called the succession right?
24 Nov 2022: "#Ruschist #disinfo & private army hack hopes success at the strategically meaningless town of #Bakhmut will help him takeover when #Putin dies... Ukraine is merely a playground for Ruschist succession struggles."
26 May 2023: "Putin's Rasputin - this turbulent priest of the St Petersburg underground men - is ready to take over the chariot.
These days the Magician Apprentice doesn't even disguise himself or his ambition..."
5 June 2023: "...The Apprentice Chef Saucerer is now ready to succeed his Master the Magister Magi Chief Sorcerer Putin, whose powers are failing in real time..." in "Russian Civil Servants New Dilemma.”
6 June 2023: "...Is the Chef Saucerer defining what's "normal" and "conventional" now, or is the Chief Sorcerer Putin?..."
10 June 2023: "...During his apprenticeship, as Chef of the Trolls he secured Brexit, Trump and concealed genocide in Ukraine for eight years. Chef Saucerer proved his Magiestry of Magico-Religious aspect of Sovereignty function of Leadership... Now, as all credible election candidates in Ruschia must, he's proved his Magiestry of the Warrior function..."
Alas, they don't understand the supreme primacy of the relationship between the Sorcerer and the Chef Saucerer Apprentice - The Chef's Disinfolklore saucery delivered Brexit, Trump, and Africa to Putin, nor do they have the deep cultural depth to get beyond the Masks and Mirrors.
Mr Ponomarev alone gets this stuff intuitively.
