In today's #vatniksoup,I'll introduce a Russian diplomat, SVR officer & First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, Dmitry Alekseevich Polyanskiy (@Dpol_un). He's best-known for promoting Western,pro-Kremlin fake news blogs & individuals like @TheGrayzoneNews.
1/22 Image
Dima was previously stationed in Warsaw, from where he then moved on to work in New York to work under Vasily Nebenzya, the current Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations, and the man who had to announce the infamous "Ukrainian combat mosquitos".

2/22
Now, before we move on, it's worth mentioning that Dima is actually an officer of SVR, Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service.He comes from the so-called PR or Public Relations line, so he's not exactly the James Bond of the agency, but he still has a lot of influence & power.3/22 Image
Now, there's nothing new at using agents as diplomats, and Russia has utilized this strategy since the days of the KGB. For example,in Finland 1/3 of Russian embassy staff in Helsinki were intelligence agents & a lot of them were expelled recently from the Nordic countries.

He's relatively happily married (we'll get to that later), and his daughter, Anastasiya, was married to a Georgian man. Now, Dima absolutely despises Georgians. Which is why he was extremely happy when his daughter and her Georgian husband decided to file for a divorce.

So, Dima (allegedly) lives a happy life in Manhattan, New York, and apparently enjoys his life in the biggest NATO country out there, eating at the fanciest restaurants. At the same time, he's constantly trashing the oh-so decadent West.

Hypocrisy much?

6/22
Image
Image
Often tweeting against the "decadent West", it seems that Dima has also been corrupted by it - he's had intimate, extramarital relations with Lenka Houskova White AKA @whitelenka, a former Sputnik journalist and model from the Czech Republic.

7/22

Image
Unfortunately, Dima and Lenka recently split up and he now has a new mistress from the office where he works at. They still like and comment on each other's tweets, though, which is kinda cute!

We couldn't reach out to Dmitry's wife, Maria, for a comment on the matter.

8/22

Polyanskiy seems to have his tentacles everywhere in the Western vatnik space. His favorite outlet seems to be the Grayzone blog, and he's appeared with the GZ boys @MaxBlumenthal and @aaronjmate on few occasions. Here he is denying any invasion before the war started.

9/22
He's also appeared on Hinkle's "The Dive", @ReadeAlexandra's podcast, and even allegedly talked with Sarah "Donbass Devushka" Bils. She's a pathogical liar, though, and everything she says should be taken with skepticism.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually Dima who invited both Max and Aaron to speak at the United Nations Security Council on behalf of Russia. Actually, I'm gonna take this a step further - I wouldn't be surprised if Dima was the handler of these two and Hinkle.

11/22

In general, Russia has turned United Nations' Security Council into a circus, inviting pro-Kremlin grifters like Blumenthal and Maté to spread the Russian lies. Hell, they even invited Ray McGovern who spent his 15 minutes of fame speaking German and singing peace songs.

12/22
Considering how much The Grayzone boys, Hinkle and Ritter hate the "deep state" and the Western version of the three letter agencies, they seem to have no problem in interacting with their Russian counterparts like the SVR.

13/22

Image
Image
Image
I guess we can also take a look at Dmitry's tweets and appearances, but the content is pretty much what you'd expect: "Ukrainian Nazis", "8 years of shelling in Donbas", the corrupt and hypocritical West, Holodomor denial, mainstream media cannot be trusted, yada yada...

14/22


Image
Image
Image
Image
Initially, Polyanskiy was certain that Russia wasn't going to attack and blamed the West for propaganda. Of course, this story has since changed from "Russia won't invade Ukraine" to "NATO forced us to invade" now that Putin's genocidal war in Ukraine is evident.

15/22
Image
Image
Ironically, Dima's profile states that he "rejects hatespeech, lies and fake news," but that's pretty much the only thing you can find on his feed. He's shared content from "citizen journalists" and "analysts" like Hinkle, @MyLordBebo, @GonzaloLira1968 and @narrative_hole.

16/22

Image
Image
Image
Many of the people Dima follows have been featured on #vatniksoup previously: Sonja van den Ende, Kim Dotcom, David Sacks, Richard Z AKA Trollstoy88, Nina Byzantina, Wyatt Reed... The whole thing is just absurd, considering he's a high-rank UN official.

Dmitry loves talking about the "Ukrainian Nazis", often citing "journalists" like Maté and Johnny Miller. Of course he knows that the "neo-Nazi problem" in Ukraine is mostly fabricated, and it's actually Russia that has a problem with Nazis:

Image
If we disregard the absurdity of the "de-nazification" conducted by actual Nazis, maybe Dima can answer this question: Why were the Azov leaders exchanged for corrupt Ukrainian oligarch, Viktor Medvedchuk, during a prisoner exchange?

19/22 Image
It's almost like it was never about the "de-nazification" rather than about putting Putin's friends into power in Ukraine. Of course, most of us knew that already, which is why the whole "Ukrainian Nazis" narrative is being ridiculed all over social media.

20/22
Image
Image
On 14 Jul 2023, Dima appeared on "Maverick News" together with elite war analyst and convicted sex criminal, Scott Ritter. The discussion revolved around "NATO expansion", "money laundering" in Ukraine, evil "Ukrainian Nazis" and how Zelensky "let down the Ukrainians".

21/22 Image
To conclude: Polyanskiy is an SVR officer who keeps close contact with many of the Western vatniks, probably even collaborating and coordinating together with them.

This soup was brewed together with the fellas known as the Unintelligence Agency.

In this first (and maybe last?) Basiji Soup, we’ll look at… the Islamic Republic of Iran, its disinformation operations, its hypocrisy, how it sells its atrocities as virtue and its repression as morality, how it serves the Kremlin, and the current protests against it.

1/20 Image
Basijis are members of the most fanatical part of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). In a broader sense: Iranian regime loyalists & propagandists. They may be fewer than vatniks or wumaos, but the goal is the same: destabilize the West to protect a brutal regime.

2/20 Image
The regime oppressing Iran is a “theocratic” authoritarian state around a “Supreme Leader” hiding behind religion to justify its crimes: censorship, repression, executions, torture and terror — similar to Russia and its “holy war” against Ukraine.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, we introduce our first Czech vatnik, Tomio Okamura. He’s best known for building a political career on xenophobia while being of mixed origins himself, and for pushing Kremlin narratives in Czechia, a country otherwise very supportive of Ukraine.

1/19 Image
Okamura was born in Tokyo in 1972 to a Japanese-Korean father and Czech mother. He spent part of his childhood in Japan, and part in a Czechoslovak foster home where he was heavily bullied. His mixed origins made it difficult for him to fit in either country.

2/19 Image
Image
Nonetheless, after working odd jobs in Japan, Tomio returned to Czechia and became a successful entrepreneur in Japanese tourism. He then rose in politics: Senator in 2012, MP in 2013, he founded two parties: Dawn of Direct Democracy and SPD (Freedom and Direct Democracy).

In today’s Vatnik Soup, we’ll introduce an American billionaire, real estate developer, and wannabe diplomat, Steve Witkoff. He’s best known for trying to sell Ukraine to Putin and for helping Trump sell this treason and encouragement of genocidal war as “peace”.

1/20 Image
Steve studied law and political science at Hofstra University in New York. After law school, he worked as a real estate attorney, which led him into property acquisitions and development. He first met Trump in the 1980s when Trump was a client of his real estate law firm.

2/20 Image
In 1997, Witkoff founded the Witkoff Group, a New York–based real estate development and investment firm. The firm has owned and developed dozens of properties in New York and other major US cities, making Witkoff quite wealthy, with some interesting business connections.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, our first on a non-human vatnik, we’ll talk about… Grok @grok. It’s best known for turning into Mecha-Hitler and Mecha-Putler and for defending its vatnik master, Elon Musk, at all costs, up to being willing to sacrifice the rest of mankind for him.

1/24Image
Let’s start with an introduction into how Large Language Models (LLMs) work, and the new “arguing with your toaster” phenomenon. LLMs like Grok are Artificial Intelligence (AI) but not the way we had imagined — a new form of intelligence that would somehow think like us.

2/24
Instead, LLMs are basically “guessing engines” and search engines trained on a massive dataset to give you the output you expect: they are imitating intelligence rather than being an actual intelligence. They’re chatbots generating responses pretending to be a helpful AI.

Remember Robert Amsterdam, who’s been pushing with Tucker Carlson’s help the lie that Ukraine (and not Russia) is persecuting Christians?

Turns out he’s connected to… the Islamist militias killing Christians in Nigeria.

1/6

Robert Amsterdam is also a registered (and well-paid!) agent of Maduro’s Venezuela, the socialist regime and ally of Russia which Tucker Carlson has recently defended for some reason, shocking many of his right-wing supporters.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, we’ll explain the context of the upcoming Budapest Blunder, and how it follows the infamous Alaska Fiasco from two months ago and Trump’s absurd delaying of serious aid to Ukraine and effective sanctions on Russia for the past nine months.

1/20Image
Two months ago, Trump embarrassed the United States by rolling out the red carpet for war criminal dictator Putin and overall acting like a pathetic servant eager to meet his master. Of course, the Alaska Fiasco didn’t bring peace any closer.

2/20
Image
Worse, the main outcome of the humiliation was to delay serious sanctions, which the US Congress, in rare bipartisan unity against Russia, was on the verge of passing. Two weeks by two weeks, Trump Always Chickens Out, postponing any real pressure on Putin for 9 months now.
