"The Plight of the Sorcerer" is one of the oldest and most fundamental Indo-European stories.
It is replayed every time the "right" to rule an Indo-European society is transmitted between a Master Monarch and their Apprentice.
The Demons (Ozero Cooperative who think Putin needs to go) send their emissary (the Chef) to be the Sorcerer Putin's Apprentice.
The Sorcerer Putin needs the Chef Saucerer Apprentice's sauce.
Since 2012 the Chef Saucerer Apprentice's St Petersburg Disinfolklore factories have delivered Brexit, Trump, and concealed genocide by Russia in Ukraine.
The Chef Saucerer's magical 🪄Disinfolklore sauce has manipulated minds all accross the world and turned the politics and societies from India to America, and Africa to Aberdeen upside down.
The Master Magister Sorcerer Putin is grateful for the Chef Saucerer's Disinfolklore services.
The Apprentice Chef Saucerer's African alchemy delivered untold containers full of diamonds and gold to his master, Magi Putin. Chaos and coups across Africa afflicted the Magi's Chief Sorcerer's European enemies' interests.
The Chef Saucerer became essential to Magi Putin. And the Chief Sorcerer had one more plan: Ukraine.
The Chef Saucerer Apprentice was given a monopoly on all the most succulent parts of the genocide in Ukraine - See “⚡️A-Z of Russian War on Ukraine” section in:
In short, after A-Z in failure Bakhmut was selected in July 2022 as an easy win by the Chief Saucerer (and the Demon Ozero Collective backing him). Then of that easy win, the Chef Saucerer would usurp the Chief Sorcerer's Putin's position.
Bakhmut was to be for the Chef Saucerer Apprentice, what Chechnya was for Putin the Chief Sorcerer: such a win could be spun through webs of Disinfolklore into the "Right" recognised by every Russian to lead Russia unopposed.
Yet, as with Plans A-Z of failure the Mother of All the Russians, Ukraine, thwarted its Child Muscovy's dastardly plan. Ukraine defeated the Chief Sorcerer Magi Putin and his Chef Saucerer's Apprentice.
Now, in desperation the Chief Sorcerer Putin is, again, trying to kill his Chef Apprentice.
His Chef Apprentice, a professional coup-starter and preventer in Africa, expected this.
So, having lost every one of their easy wins in Ukraine (see ⚡️A-Z of Russian War on Ukraine) both the Chef Sorcerer and his Apprentice the Chef Saucerer have died a thousand times.
Yet, through Disinfolklore and the intercession of the Demons backing them, each has been reborn one thousand times.
Until now: this is their last life.
And now the Demons have implanted the Chef Saucerer inside the Chief Sorcerer's stomach.
The Chief Sorcerer Magi Putin cannot kill the Chef Saucerer without going to war in the Ancient Ukrainian city of Rostov.
Rostov is the gateway through which ALL of the Chief Sorcerer Putin's materiel runs.
So if the Chief Sorcerer tries to kill his resisting Apprentice, he will die himself.
The Chief Sorcerer needs the blood from his war in Ukraine to live.
The Plight of the Master Sorcerer after he has empowered his Apprentice Saucerer is this circular firing squad.
In Indo-European mythology the solution to this problem is simple:
The Magister Sorcerer Putin grants the Chef Saucerer (and the demons backing him) his wish (the "Right" to rule Russia), in return for security.
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.
Today, more than ever, Putin Sorcerer faces this perennial Plight of the Sorcerer.
And who can tell if the Magister Putin is bright enough to know his only way out is to make this deal, and trust the Chef Saucerer?!
