I’m being invited to a show of a famous Ukrainian journalist with half a million YouTube subscribers. This is my husband’s favorite journalist, and it’s a dream of his life to see me on that show. I’ll be speaking Russian on the show, and I’ll post the link when it airs. If I don’t perish of nerves before then.

My main goal both with the show and with the book itself is to inform people of the terrible intellectual and spiritual dead-end we have reached here in the West. It’s seductive but it leads to bad places. There’s still a post-Cold War tendency in Ukraine to worship the West. If the West does it, it must be good. I love the West but the direction it’s currently taking is wrong. If I manage to transmit this idea, that’s all I want.

The thing is, once you start thinking about the outcome, that’s when the stumble happens because now you’re not *here* you’re skipping ahead to the future 😉 So, you know, be as prepared as you can possibly get, but then let go of the outcome and put yourself in God’s hands.
However it turns out, may God bless your efforts.

The unthinkable for the West: Japan untethers from the West, builds a defence industry separate from the failing “Wunderwaffen”, and survives with a small group of populous Asian countries that together stand up to the PRC and Russia as well as the West.
The West has treated Japan for so long as “separate but equal” to Western power that few in the West can see how Japan wants population growth again so it can break free of this pseudo-nihilist trap that you’ve spoken of.
So yes, Asia looks like the future to me, but …
There’s a “job offer” to consider outside Asia and North America and in order to do that, stuff in the US needs sold or donated.
Like it or not, the shitshow for me continues because I can’t fully exit yet, plus that may be screwed for me for another five years.
But maybe it’s not too late for the West.

Wow, such great news! Excited both for you and for the possibility to hear you talk in Russian on an interesting topic. Will be able to share with my mother too. 🙂
“This is my husband’s favorite journalist,”
Is this Yuriy Romanenko? Or somebody else?
I guess, it’s not Arestovich since he isn’t exactly a journalist.
In today’s world I am unsure whether Romanenko is described as a journalist either.Congratulations!

Romanenko, yes. It’s definitely journalism. Romanenko is not a reporter but opinion journalist. Or a pundit. A Ukrainian Matt Walsh, not so much in an ideological sense as in the nature of the work.
And thank you!

The bastard moved in right after the USSR collapsed. There was an ideological vacuum in all post-Soviet countries, so he thought it was a great opportunity to fill it with his leftist garbage. Thankfully, the post-Soviet people are too cynical and jaded to take this crap seriously. I’m worried about the young people, though. They don’t remember the USSR, so they aren’t innoculated against this. They think it makes them more Americanized, more cool. My goal is to explain that there’s nothing American about this. Most people in America aren’t interested.
This rot is oozing everywhere around the world, it’s terrible.
