Wow, that picture speaks a thousand words!!!!!
Mr Stoltenberg and his psychopathic nature, must not be underestimated in any way.
His path to the current position stands on two legs.
One is the Oslo terror and the other is the destruction of Libya, that also pawed way for the immigration crisis.
His father, Thorvald, was central in the making of the Balkan wars, setting the stage for NATO, to truelly become a destructive force.
He was also the head of the secret Norwegian Stay Behind.
Stoltenberg had two sisters. One is dead by drugs Ninni, the only honest among them, openly carrying the David star in a necklace and the other much alive, being head of the Rockefeller founded Norwegian Institute of Health and very active in lockdowns and vaccinations.
Both son (Jens)and father(Thorvald)are married to non Norwegians by blood, but Jewish.
Nothing negative about that, but the overall picture, the family story with moving from Germany, changing the name from Stolzenberg, to Stoltenberg, and their doings towards not only Norway, but Europe, suggest their heart and loyalty lies elsewhere and hence that considered by many Norwegians as pure infiltrators, using Norway and its name, money and what not, to fulfill some agenda not very healthy for neither Norway, nor Europe.
In Sweden Mr Stoltenberg bragged about the cowardly bombing of Libya and civilians as “great practice for the pilots, and was described as a psycopat by a very high ranking Swedish official, the pm if I remember it right.
This man’s will and ability to take part, push forward and participate in whatever cruel and evil MUST NOT BE UNDERESTIMATED.
Here is another fantastic shot of him, giving the leader if the Labour Party Youth League a hug after the Oslo terror.
That young man left all the youth’s and children beind for slsughte, taking the ex military bulletproof ferry him self and escaping, but also took the ferry to a remote location, so it could not participate in police work, rescue or anything.
Look at his face.
I see the face of a man swallowing his guilt as a mass murderer.

First:
Well said Joe Doe the Norwegian.
It’s about time the Norwegians states reality in public.
In Denmark we do not need to pat ourselves on the Back.
We had States minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen leading Denmark into the coalition of willing Nations to Fight W. Bush war on Terror. Afterwards Rasmussen became general Secretary of NATO, just like Jens Stoltenberg is today. We also had terror attacks in Denmark, and I suspect they are both Gladio Agents.
However times are changing.
Next:
Traders have expected for a long time that the whole western stock market could implode at any time, and especially with the current US-NATO vs Russia tension.
The stock market and Dollar implosion will trigger a US Bankruptcy.
Hyperinflation of the dollar will force the US Government to conscript soldiers for the US military, as recruitment of professional (paid) soldiers will come to an abrupt end. However conscription will be met with severe resistance from the US population, who are fed up by imperial wars.
Denmark has sent 1 destroyer to Lithuania in the Baltic Sea.
The Netherlands have sent 1 destroyer to Poland in the Baltic Sea.
Spain has promised to send 1 destroyer to help Romania by Marts (I wonder if Ukraine will last that long).
Norway has refused to send military assistance into the Baltic Nations.
The State minister of Finland has clearly stated that Finland will remain neutral.
Sweden will keep its neutrality even though Stoltenberg is on his knees begging them to join NATO.
The Swedish newspapers are ridiculing the Swedish TV network SVT for hyping “Russian spy drones” and “Russian U-Boats” inside Swedish territory, after the incidents turned out to be a Swedish private jet and Swedish Fishing Wessel.
Biden now promises to expand the US presence at the Russian Border with up to 5.000 US troops.
I wonder how much help they will be able to help Ukraine against the “100.000 Russian soldiers at the Russian Border”, according to Western MSM.
Biden can’t find 50.000 troops to send to Eastern Europe, he has already send 2 Aircraft carrier fleets to the Philippines: https://www.rt.com/news/546905-us-navy-supercarriers-drill/
However, China is ready and has overflown Tavian with 56 Fighter Jets in several waves since Sunday.
To make matters worse West Africa is blowing up by now. So maybe France will have sufficient to deal with in Africa, instead of sending troops to Romania
There is no doubt that Russia and China are prepared for war.
However the Western alliance are fractured, and this time the US will have to fight it alone on 3 fronts, Against China, Russia and Iran. The US will be hammered.
The Jews in Ukraine has seen the writing on the wall and are being invited to Israel.
The US Deep state knows the result already, and has called all relatives of US embassy staff and Americans in Ukraine to travel home immediately.
The good news is that the One World Order will shatter, and crimes against humanity will finally be dealt with.
Now might be a good time for American Patriots to forever change US foreign Policy.
Lets Go Brandon
On wikipedia I found different, taht he was against Israel
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorvald_Stoltenberg#Youth
Sanctions against Israel
In 2010, together with 25 other elder statesmen, Stoltenberg sent a letter to EU leaders and the heads of government of the EU countries, demanding sanctions against Israel for its violations of international law. His co-signatories included Javier Solana, Felipe González, Romano Prodi, Lionel Jospin and Mary Robinson.[12][13]
@Marko
Torvald Stoltenberg was an Rockefeller agent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilateral_Commission
He had to protest with the rest of the civilized world against the Israeli war crimes against Gaza and the attack on the humanitarian Gaza flotilla in international waters. If he didn’t he would have exposed himself as a Quisling.
Howl with the masses and betray them in secrecy: That is how infiltrators works.
Of course they are “against Israel”.
This was hos Norway set up the Palestines with the Oslo Accord.
A part of the game is to officially be against Israel, but when it comes to action, you act in their favour.
I bet that kind of game these guys got some sort of neat name. Like double something.
A 101 year ago, that very same labour party of Norway, hijacked already, was negotiating for membership in Komintern.
And as for the more recent sort of happenings, underlining my point, is Terje Rød Larsen, whom played a leading role in the Oslo Accord of 1993, but is noe socially dead as it turns out him having a 130 000 USD loan from Epstein, whom hang or did not hang himself.
Are you starting to see the light?
He is also “Labour party of Norway”, having a track record for tax fraud and general lack of moral, whom, by the way, is married to Mona Juul, currently representing Norway in the UN Security Council.
Now the wife of a highly immoral career man, is etter very naiv or worse than him.
I put 5 cent on worse. They had close ties to Epstein in the US. Now where does that lead us?
In my view in to something very dangerous. Two, as for me, of the most dubious “Norwegians”, in very strategic positions with possible global impact.
Other prominent Norwegians that fits right into the Soros/Gates/Clinton/Epstein folder, as in “not just being used” would be both current PM Støre and last but not least, Gro Harlem Brundtland.
I have in my two commenrs mentioned 8 Norwegian name. Out of them, i suspect seven to be without a soul. The eight, Nina Stolenberg is dead. May HER soul rest in peace.
While Jens Stolteberg was aiming for the leadership of the Labour Party Youth, he did so by promoting the idea for the youths that Norway should break out of Nato.
Now There is a 100% chance that was basert on a tip from his father, whom was closely attached to the NATO Stand Behind.
These guys are making a living out of lies and deceit.

Joe. Your perspective gives me strength and confidence.
I want the Vikings to return as Vikings
I want the Germans to get off their knees.
I want my European cousins to regain their strength courage and confidence.
I want my Asian, Africa, and American brothers to do the same.
I am grateful the Russians, Chinese, Iranians and the axis of resistance is leading the way.
This is a world wide challenge to finally rid the planet of this insane barbaric cult that brought so much pain and misery to the world.
Thanks..
It’s a small chance that the Viking shall return, after a thousand years of crushing its culture, religion and legacy.
The only known usage of viking culture, was in Afganistan, whereas shouting “viking memes”, puffed up the soldiers before starting shooting at the locals.
Apart from that, there is some younger people that tries to raise awareness and practice our real culture and believes, before we where betrayed by our own and became Christians or dead.
But what is some way still living, is the Norwegian loyalty, that was significant for the vikings. You could not buy off a viking those days.
This part of the for.er culture has been refined and is turned against the the people and nation.
They have somehow made Norwegians to go against Norwegians, using loyalty as a major tool to do this. A bit hard to explain, but its what I see.
An example is our court system. The lojality “gene” is there used in the benefit of doing mafia kind of acts, and its done with a psychological misuse of loyalty, where as the judge doing whatever wrong, is doing it in loyalty of colleagues and state.
Norwegians in general are almost qutely naive and that open a big “security hole” to be exploited and its done in sophisticated manners.
Love u my brother the good news is what u want is already happening I mean the empire is already fighting a losing war and its the end of the end times so u will see many interesting things that have never happened but it will be the only continues downfall of the empire.
“I see the face of a man swallowing his guilt as a mass murderer.”
Takk, i do too.
It is always great to see i am not alone up here at the edge of Europe.
You are right about Ninni, she was ok.
I had the pleasure of talking with her a few times, she was tormented by inner demons but a nice lady.
I always see in his face a lot of coldness, determination, evil. He looks like a mean headmaster of a military school. He is the opposite of autistic Merkel, who has a sweet face, flexibility and moves like water. Stoltenberg is a narcissist, who also hides behind collective causes. Television news and politics are full of narcissistic psychopaths. Stoltenberg is as serious as Erdogan. By the way, Erdogan will lose the election. The west is run by sick minds.
Two proposed captions for the above photo: The Devil and The Clown; Quisling and the Clown.
Seems like there are sane Ukies who’ve realised that they are being used,,the chairman of National Security council of Ukraine, said they see no immediate invasion from Russia its all about what’s happening in some western countries.
Meanwhile Norway is today hiding a speech at the UN Security Council, as acting chairman there, represented by another professional liar, PM Jonas “GAVI” Støre, whom is to history lesson the world on the horrors of war.
Himself being central in the destruction of Libya , that was decided among politicians using sms.
Him, that I belive twice is reported to the police for warcrimes against Libya, will list up examples of cities that are destroyed by war.
The list, according to a major newspaper is this;
Aleppo. Donetsk. Mosul. Mogadishu. Sanaa i Yemen, og Gaza
Note Gaza. Note the lack of Tripoli.
Gaza is there to make sure everyone notes that he is “critical towards Israel”, but when it comes to action, one can not avoid to see the opposite.
Norwegians in general where against the apartheid state in South Africa and with that comes a critical point of view of anything similar…
Forgot to link to the source of this list.
https://www.vg.no/nyheter/utenriks/i/QyK2bJ/tar-krigens-stoerste-tapere-inn-i-fns-sikkerhetsraad
This looks like the US and NATO is emboldening the retard Azov Brigade to commit atrocities in Donbass…as in slaughter civilians.
Will the Russian Military target US Troops, English Troops, and German Troops in the Ukraine?
Monty Python’s Eric Idle and his Russian American wife will immediately support this slaughter in Donbass. Eric and Tanya have open pathological hatred of Vladimir Putin and Russia expressed on their twitter accounts. In case you ever thought Monty Python was anti-war.
That’s such a pity to hear. Always liked Eric Idle. Watch ‘Nuns on the Run’. Cool flick.
The sequel will be ‘NATO on the Run’ and Hagrid aka Robbie Coltrane will rejoin Eric Idle as two hapless UK NATO soldiers on the run from Russian troops.
Such a pity that Eric and the Python team were once all indoctrinated at Cambridge (possibly some at Oxford ).
‘I’ll Say No More’.
Except – Nudge nudge, Wink-wink.
To you 2nd sentece…they will do it in the Syria…while waiting from comrade/trotskyist/neocon/neolib Blinkin
get answer….hmm
I get the feeling that the US specifically is stretching itself extremely thin by marching up and down the borders of “evil”, “aggressive”, “undemocratic”, “regimes” and pounding its chest like King Kong having a temper tantrum.
Be careful what you wish for neo-cons/neo-lib war-hawks seeking a ‘rules-based international order’, i.e., US hegemony forever. You may actually get a response and this time two oceans are no longer far enough away.
The US both it’s institutions and people have dismissed any notion (let alone contingency) that it may in fact be a Empire.
It’s much the same way these institutions they have purged any notion that the US’s intention in designing an altruistic global drive for sexual diversity? and gender equity? while never explaining the deeply conservative Christian morality expressing itself as overt political violence (MAGA…the Again makes it a dog whistle blasphemy or a century of adultery laws) not to mention the proud and willing use of ‘sexual repression’ by a state protected corporate driven Intel fed Media in most cases to cannibalize it’s own assets (Janet Jackson’s billion tour ‘cancel cultured’ over crickets in the black community…?)
The Media/State in the US seems to be designed to airbrush it’s complicity in much the same way an intelligence agency would airbrush out it’s loose ends. Sometimes it’s a quick clean and sometimes it requires a long term maintenance agreement.
Not realizing your an Empire means you have allies when you don’t and then you realize too late that the world is now the enemy and always was your enemy. The US empire has the burden of shooting at the world whereas the the World ONLY has to aim at the US.
There is virtually no incentive to ally with US because all anyone outside of US would get is the STATUS QUO.
Or worst their countries are nothing but human shields like West Samoa…the 2nd largest US airbase outside of the US and it’s central air pivot. It’s calculated that the Chinese would have to destroy it, but in doing so, they have to destroy the Western Samoans too. Real armies run by real citizens who love their nations have oaths that require them to DEFEND their nations AS NATIONS.
Mutinies galore with the US fighting internally and externally with the legions of fifth column Pooh Bear Warriors and Vlad Twinks traitors who have been patiently waiting for their opportunity to be one of history’s scapegoats
No limit but Sky’s End on imagining a world without the US.
Sells itself.
They’re going through with it, a war with Russia. This is just madness.
It seems like it. Pig-headed obsession for war with Russia. Indeed it is madness. NATO has reached it’s reductio ad absurdum.
If the war is triggered, then all I can say is “NATO delenda est”.
This quote from the World Socialist Web site succinctly sums up the mindset driving this lunacy:
“US Colonel Alexander Vindman, an officer involved in top-level talks between Washington and the Ukrainian regime, bluntly spelled out US calculations yesterday. Calling for provocative NATO weapons deliveries to Ukraine, directly on Russia’s border, Vindman told MSNBC: “These things are already moving. It’s almost certain that this is going to occur, and now is the time to take those last-minute steps.”
Declaring that NATO is “almost locked into a course of action,” Vindman endorsed plans for war with Russia. He said, “Why is this important to the American public? It’s important because we’re about to have the largest war in Europe since World War II. There’s going to be a massive deployment of air power, long-range artillery, cruise missiles, things that we haven’t seen unfold on the European landscape more than 80 years, and it is not going to be a clean or sterile environment.””
More psychotic US grand standing. If Europeans put up with this BS then they deserve what they get. Sounds harsh but the idea that the US are in some way benign allies is laughable. Ask the European people, they don’t want war with Russia. Time for them to stand up and be counted or get destroyed fighting another American war. I’d rather be living in Moscow than Berlin or London if it kicks off.
“US Colonel Alexander Vindman” is the Jewish Neocon scumbag who tried to bring down Trump. Almost all the foreign policy team of the USA are from the same Khazar tribe. The same people who carried out the revolutions of 1905 and 1917 – with the help of the gold of their cousins in New York. Trotsky was financed by these same people. It was a big mistake to wind up the Pale of Settlement.
These people cannot forgive Putin for kicking their oligarchs out of Russia and reclaiming the economy.
“Alexander Vindman, Army lieutenant colonel, to testify in Trump impeachment inquiry”
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/oct/28/alexander-vindman-army-lieutenant-colonel-testify-/
Vindman is a Jewish supremacist who hates the the Russian and the historic American Nation
Col. Douglas Macgregor said in a recent interview that the decision-makers are emotionally attached to taking action against Russia. I think the embarrassment of Afghanistan caused them to double down. They can’t win a low-intensity conflict but they believe they can win on a modern battlefield. These are not disciplined clear thinkers because that is not a quality that gets you promoted in Washington.
The UK now has decided all the C19 charade is over and its mask off and back to business.
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-60047438
Ergo, this can only mean they have somehting else in mind to scare the sheeple into bowing to their authoritarian lust for power, (& Boris needs a mass distraction BIG time) … “Don’t Think of Russia”. (Don’t Think of an Elephant!)
In the local rag: “Australians told to leave Ukraine immediately.”
The best thing Russia can do at this time is absolutely nothing and wait for the bully-boy raush to pass.
Then, based on the witen response to demands next week, take micro (tactical) surgical response on non-Ukrainian Nato key-node infrastructure.
The risk to Ukrainian Jews is not from the Russians, it is from the Ukrainian Nazis, armed and supported by the US and British.
Yes, that is the actual reason but its being played in the MSM as fear of a Russian attack.
If you take into consideration that most of the key-positions in Ukraine(and US) is held by Jews – they should be evacuated first and “crisis” will be over.
Yes, this is how CIA/MI6/Mossad bring back lost tribes to Israel. Argentinian Jewry were also migrated by Rothschild money (US$250,000 per family) in early 2000s decade during economic crisis.
Ashkenazi Jews coming to Israel is not original Jewry but Khazaarians converted to Judaism in 740AD.
“The risk to Ukrainian Jews is not from the Russians, it is from the Ukrainian Nazis,” …
Yes, but you can bet 100% they will be reported in the mass media as dying from Russian bullets!
Citizen Smith, you have reminded me of 1938 when Britain persuaded Poland to reject a pact with Soviet Russia; and instead, to join Nazi Germany in carving up CzechoSlovakia. By helping Britain to strengthen Hitler’s move into Eastern Europe, an anti-Russian Polish government sealed the fate of 5 Million Poles, including a quarter million Jews in what is now West Ukraine (former Polish Galizia). Poland is repeating that mistake by siding with the present Anglo American drive against Russia. Read “The Chamberlain-Hitler Collusion” by Finkel and Leibovitz.
“The only thing we learn from History is that nobody learns anything from History” — Hegel.
He says: –Any questions? no worry, start by killing the first Russian then just call Biden.
—But what if he ‘s sleeping?
While the Western “allies” were very busy supplying Ukraine with weapons, they didn’t make her a member of their club. All these steps are meant to encourage Ukraine to act. If Ukraine is crazy enough to start this suicide endeavor, she will soon realize that she had no friends, and that her only purpose was to die for making the schism between Europe and Russia manifest.
I absolutely agree but I don’t think the Russians will just let the true aggressors (the Anglo Zionists or whatever you want to call them) off without taking their pound of flesh this time. I think the Russians will show the world that the US/UK and their NATO puppets are not untouchable.
I suspect Putin will take one step at a time and not over-react when Ukraine attacks and, depending on the outcome then worry about NATO.
One thing that rampaging war mongers never think of before they start the shooting and commit to a “fight to the finish” is how, exactly, do they intend to end the damned war and extricate themselves without lasting damage to their society and humiliation before the entire world when things inevitably go a cropper and they wish they had not been so gung-ho seeking glory and conquest. In this particular fight between the American egomaniacs and a Russian people they consider inferior and incapable of ever defeating them (recall Obama’s endless trash talk when he started all this), I fear that an inexorable escalation will lead to a thermonuclear ending for all of civilisation. Washington’s “friends” and “allies,” like Germany and France (Britain has a death wish), had better talk them out of this or the entire world will pay the price.
And America was very very happy yesterday
It was NFL Playoff time
In the Stadiums
They all cheered:”What a stud NFL Tyrone!!
As they outsourced their “manhood” to the players on the field
American Nirvana!!
And they did not notice…

The Empire and NATO getting amped up into a white-hot rage, sending in more troops and equipment.
Never mind, stay calm, Russia has the last move.
Of course, the last move is the coup de grâce which will dissipate the paroxysms of writhing rage and the Empire will know that it’s game over.
My God.
I wonder if the headlines were more-less the same just before WWII. War can start any day from now.
Well, what can I say, If all that crapola does not prick the bubbles that should have collapsed in the early ’90s at the latest (those bubbles that were already in existence then), I do not know what will.
Likely get an everything crash before Americastan becomes as flat as a parking lot with a nice layer of shocked quartz that glows in the dark
I will repeat my open plea to any extraterrestrials who may be listening — a one way ticket — PLEASE.
Thank you. Good Sense of humour in a of morbidity… One way ticket out of this nuclear madness.
Andrei My Orthodox Brother,
Just thinking out loud for a moment.
War is a good cover for a long coming World Market crash that these International Banksters and Global Capitalists themselves induced.
What do you think Andrei? They will blame the next Great Depression on Russian Aggression since Covid 19 is coming to an end?
Wall Street would apparently agree with you. Stock indices been heading down for the last 4 market days. Whether or not that is proof, all of the important data also agrees with you, too.
It is unlikely that this is an infantile bluff by NATO and the West, but preparations for the real thing. Zelensky is being pressured to attack the Donbass, so that Russia would respond. What is indicative is the fact that those 125.000 Ukrainian troops amassed before the Donbass are never mentioned by the Western propaganda machine, only Russian troops.
As I have written before, the negative internal situations in the EU and US are warranting a wider regional war, so that attention would be deflected towards Russia. A dangerous strategy. The biggest loser will be the EU, just like in 2014 when sanctions were introduced against Russia, and when the EU, by the second half of 2016, lost 100 billion euros in trade. Should war break out, it will lose even more, like Russian energy.
I would be extremely pleased if war could be averted. However, I fear that this is almost impossible, bearing in mind that Ukraine is disintegrating politically, geographically and financially. What is also indicative is the fact that the EU offered Ukraine 1,2 billion euros in aid. Why now ? To stop the disintegration process and keep Ukraine afloat for a proxy war ? This, too, is a foolish strategy, as a war would only speed up the disintegration process. A demoralized, poverty stricken country does not fight wars. I don’t think the US and EU care about this. Ukraine is their proxy puppet, to be sacrificed.
I posit that it is really the EU that the U.S. and the Brits are out to trash….
No, the khazars are out to trash everyone else. They intend to use Russia to do it. NBot one of they cowardly scum pushing this war forward will be standing in the front line or anywhere near it. Clearly Putin’s promise that he will hit the places from which the orders eminate has not registered in their tiny narcissistic brains yet.
As the conviction has matured that Russia will not invade, a lot of troops are being deployed in order to be able to say that a great deal of deterrence has taken place. And also to have arguments to mobilise further money (you can’t stop supporting markets for a moment) in warfare.
This is to distract from the real deals that (all the world hopes) are being worked out behind the scenes, on the base of what Tarik reminded us yesterday:
“Russia plans to engage its nuclear weapons not against those countries where it was launched against Russia, but against the mastermind cities where the decisions were made. To be exact, it is Washington, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and other American cities. Please fully understand, in case American nuclear weapons are launched from, eg. Taiwan, or Poland, the response will hit New York or Washington.” Russian Duma deputy, Yevgeny Fyodorov.
So lots of cover hysteria, as usual, and as confirmed by the (squared comical) cover photo of the thread.
The Ukies are not laughing at their clown become president. They must be pissing. The nazi fanatics will be sent first to be pulverized then see who wants to follow. The oligarcs, clowns, the double pasaport holders start to leave as soon as the ship starts to take water probably already now.
Regarding the news of a major downturn in the US and European stock markets, here’s a question:
Is the possible (imminent) crash of Wall Street and Western financial system a major factor in what is actually driving these war threats themselves?
That is, a major war of some sort would be the ultimate political diversion away from a financial crash, as this war could be blamed as the “cause” of this crash–rather than the malign world financial system itself and especially the Western oligarchy that runs it.
Could the putative reasons for these conflicts (in the Ukraine and elsewhere), while real, be secondary to these unspoken reasons of a Western/world financial system that is lurching towards a cataclysmic collapse?
war was always a favourite strategy of the west try and save collapsing economies….and to distract people from whichever other wheels are falling off the wagon.
War will not save the US economy. Already deeply in debt, China may pull the plug on the dollar, and the US has a realistic possibility to lose the war. Add in Russian cruise missiles destroying power plants, airfields in the US heartland not to mention coastal installations such as refineries, ports, etc.. Mass panic, marshal law and a collapsing economy would be expected.
An astute question. War as a diversion from financial and societal collapse is classic. The pandemic was/is arguably in that same playbook.
Biden has chosen war. He is beefing up NATO so they will assist the Ukies. UK is taking the lead with the Poles.
Russia is ready for when the Ukies start the assault on Donbass.
Apparently, given the military balance and choice of weapons, the West expects they will lose thousands of troops.
Likely, the Ukies will be decimated and the military of the Ukraine will cease to exist.
I expect also the Poles and the UK will get a taste of sulphur and steel. How much is to be determined by how they participate.
Meanwhile, Biden will be in his bunker. Everything he touches has turned to ashes. Ukraine is next.
“Biden”, or whatever husk remains of a man once named Biden, did not choose anything.
USA has been completely taken over by a psychopatic mob that has stolen the election in plain sighr.
Now it is clear that Trump has averted this war for 4 years. Had Killary won, we would already be in deep trouble and Russia would be weaker. So, thank you, Donald Trump. You are a real human-loving patriot.
Nemirni
Well spoken. I fully agree with you. The US elite did not steal the election for Biden so that he could pursue a foreign policy based on peace, but rather on aggression, as current events are proving.
Larchmonter445
A slight disagreement. Should war break out in the Donbass, then only Ukrainian troops will fight and die, while NATO troops will watch the show. The exception might be small numbers of NATO special forces, who might back the Ukrainian military. However, here we are only talking about a small number.
“Likely, the Ukies will be decimated and the military of the Ukraine will cease to exist”.
Should war break out, then I would not be surprised if Ukraine ceased to exist, disintegrating into three parts, as analysts have been pointing out since 2017.
May the Ukraine rest in pieces.
I disagree. The NATO troops were with the Ukies in Debaltsevo. 600 of them.
This time we have reports that there are thousands, US, UK, Poles, Liths, probably some French, Danes, all the usual Russophobics. Up front, leading, inspiring and manning the EW, artillery and sniper positions.
Auslander has indicated this is so. He can’t give his sources, but he is most reliable.
In public sources, we admit having 4000 inside Ukraine, and the Brits have as many, also.
Do you think they are hiding over in the West? These are elite trainers and special operators. They are at the contact zone.
They are known to be integrated in the Ukie elite brigades. This is common, open source info if you have been following this for the last six months.
As I recall, Putin was very clear when he laid out his ground rules.
The next war against Russia will not be fought on Russian soil.
We will destroy attacking forces AND the places from which their orders originate.
They cannot say they were not warned.
“Likely, the Ukies will be decimated and the military of the Ukraine will cease to exist.”
>Ergo, NATO will have to remain in the country to mainatain order etc. (the narrative)
“Meanwhile, Biden will be in his bunker. Everything he touches has turned to ashes. Ukraine is next.”
Baron Biden needs to go into the 2022-midterms as a “war” president to have even a mild chance — and what better way than a bombfire in the family’s Ukie plantation backyard.
This is entirely predicated on whether elements of the Kiev forces can be persuaded to attack the Donbass.
It needs to be emphasised that Russia’s security proposals are intended for universal application; their implementation would provide protection both for Russia from NATO, and for NATO countries against any putative threat from Russia.
But the West wants war, not peace, hence their rejection.
I remember my great uncle Justin Moore telling us about how he knew there was going to be a war in Europe as early as 1938. He was a scholar living in Oxford back then, and he knew things were not precisely ok. But the english press under Chamberlain tended to water the news down, you know, “We conquered peace in our time” and “Hitler missed the bus” and silly “expert” analysis of the sort. At the time he had a sweetheart in Germany and he wanted to get married, so he travelled to the Reich to visit her. There -he told us-, he saw the german newspapers and news reels and was fabbergasted as he read the Berliner Tageblat and the voelkischer beobachter. All that histeria!… Then he knew, without a doubt, there would be another war. (He was already an american veteran of the first).
Nowadays, when I read the “zone A” news reports, I feel what my uncle must have felt back then, Absolute hysteria, and it makes me fear the worst.
The Reich wants to draw Russia into conflict with Ukraine,they should be careful what they wish for,i think Russia could intervene in Ukraine,but it won’t be for the reasons the Reich is shouting about,i think there are three scenarios,1…,the Kiev Regime launch an all out attack on Donbass
2…the Kiev fascists carry out a false flag attack maybe even involving chemical weapons.
3 they encourage pogroms against Russians in Ukraine street killings and murders of Russians.
Anyone of those would be reason enough to totally destroy the Fascists and anyone who got in the way.
NATO is the military arm of the petrodollar hegemony. My humble opinion is 1 cent:
Get out of town if you can. Stock up on clean water and non-perishable food, as well as personal hygiene products and survival equipment, including water filtration, first-aid kit, protective clothing, a good knife, and the like. Keep everything packed and ready to go anytime. Think about your pets if you have any. Explore your surroundings for underground shelter locations. The deeper, the better. Get ready for a quick match. When sirens go off, you may have less than a minute to seek cover.
The US is selling billions in weapons to NATO countries. Task completed? Unfortunately, the world will remain dangerous.
What if someone spills the coffee on top of the buttons? What if someone, somewhere, makes a mistake and launches a substantial attack on the other side? Obviously nobody wants a bloody war, but
@%&*@S@#$t happens all the time, it doesn’t have to be intentional, just a misunderstanding. The good thing is that in the next war we will fight it with stones and sticks? Serious moment, and the American population does not know where Ukraine is on the world map.
In which case, then better yet, head straight for DC or NYC. Better to perish instantly than over a period of days or weeks.
I am sure there are the usual layers of causes. Deep, contextual & proximate.
Something like: the deep cause is Western nihilism; the contextual cause is self-serving elite groups trying to prop up US hegemony (born 1945- deceased 2021); the main proximate cause is the readiness of Nordstream 2.
there is sometimes an additional 4th type, the If-only. These are the final, and more superficial. These can be real or fake. A false flag is a fake ‘if only’ proximate cause.
Much of the Anglosphere public will fall for it, ‘we had to do it, if only this event hadn’t happened’. This one last time, maybe.
This will not be contained to Ukraine.
Russia can’t allow NATO military build up continue in Eastern Europe any more.
If they have to go to war over Ukraine then leaving NATO to expand in Eastern europe would be completely against what Russia needs.Russia would be at war with NATO anyways.
The more time Russia leaves for NATO to build up their forces the worse position they find themselves.
There is absolutely no need for Russia to occupy Baltic states + Romania in order to rander them defeated.
Taking out military infrastructure there and their economies is enough.
After the dust is settled NATO will be irrelevant and Russia, Germany + France can determine the new European security with americans out.
Horrible i know but this is where we are now thanks the idiots in NATO.
The “war” with Ukrainian is actually happening now before any substantial kinetic escalation. The Ukrainian attempt would likely collapse before it can go to that escalation and in a way the West would likely lose that battle again and again.
Forward NATO deployment in a way makes it less likely that they would be too invested in an actual war escalation, since the risk of dying in a complete humiliation is high, considering the realities of modern warfare. NATO is already quite split in the face of this adversity. No doubt it crosses many people’s minds: “why should I be a part of this?”
The Russian deployment of ships in the North-East Atlantic also makes it very hard to go to an escalation, because it puts the UK and the whole of Western Europe in a form of a cauldron. No one would begin an “intervention” when surrounded and Europe is surrounded for all practical purposes. No MI6 or other freaks would feel free to act with impunity, when they are shivering in fear that some beautiful missile may directly knock them out of existence.
The whole hysteria is against the logic and realities of the situation and the true distribution of power, and the only thing that matters is that reality, not the media garbage. NATO is weak and that’s the reality. It will be slapped and demolished completely. No one can change the on-ground reality by some attitudes and tantrums. The truth is that the West is in a very bad losing position and they cannot do anything about it. They cannot assert their stranding or anything. They cannot continue playing that game much longer, because it is obvious that they are full of delusions and hot air, and it’s clear to everyone that matters.
What is happening now is pure hysteria and dramatization, theatrics. It’s an ugly circus. The West is weak and tries to distract from their weakness. This doesn’t work and achieves quite the converse. It can only work if while distracting, you find a way to strengthen yourself and change the reality on the ground, which is not happening. On the contrary, they are getting weaker by the day. Only the reality on the ground is what truly matters, not some “hybrid” or information wars.
No, I still think that a serious war is unlikely. Not to mention that the Russian proposals/ultimatums/etc. (also supported by their current military deployments) outline precisely the true dimension and essence of the conflict. It’s a conflict between Russia and NATO/US and not between Russia and Ukraine. If there is any escalation, that would be the direction, but the whole of NATO is militarily locked currently and is bound to lose terribly. No one would escalation if they are not sufficiently convinced they can win, and they are not. They seem desperate and depressed for a reason.
Russia is wisely using a well-tuned combination of political, military, diplomatic, and real economic means to put the West in the position where the only options are surrender or start a nuclear apocalypse. The incompetence of the West highly helps that task even thou it makes things quite dangerous. But currently, the West is locked and neutralized. Any escalation will end their history.
If anything, the massive power and the tuned military deployments that Russia exercises are the main reason that a war will not happen. Contrary to the media narrative, the Russian forces in the area make the war less likely rather than more likely and risky. Russia is comprehensively deployed around Eurasia now. The US mainland is also constantly on a target.
Band Itkoitko,
I think you hit the nail on the head!
I think you don’t quite understand the forces at work in Washington. Every major element in Washington will benefit from a war, unless it goes nuclear but I believe they are willing to risk it. The US needs to prove it is as strong as it claims particularly after the debacle in Afghanistan. Never mind that debacle reflected the incompetence of the military leadership (since the beginning of that war) that same incompetent military needs to assert itself and make good its reputation. The American people will, as they always do, any war in that region because that’s their nature. The Washington crowd needs it to stay alive. What I don’t understand is why the oligarchs are allowing this to happen–it is not in their interest to have a war run by decision-makers who think like children unless they’ve shorted the market and unless they are military contractors. However, with COVID winding down as a threat the oligarchs may fear the US public enough to try and find something that would continue the strong move to continue the totalitarian/authoritarian movement. Whatever is true this thing has little to do with Russia or Ukraine. It matters to Washington that Europe bends the knee towards Washington but other than that they really don’t matter.
The oligarchs are waiting for the price of all assets to crash so that they can buy everything cheap.
It is what they do.
People in DC can be as insane as they want. And if they are so insane why would anyone make concessions with them or bother to imagine what they are thinking, etc. They can be as determined and hateful as they can imagine. But one thing remains is “How?” can they fight Russia. Wishful thinking and loud screams on CNN don’t bring anything.
Toddlers cannot rule the day that’s just how life is built. It’s the adults that put toddlers to bed, not vice versa.
The war party, DC, the US, the West can do whatever they want, they simply lack capability. No matter how much one twists their butt, it always remains behind.
OK, maybe they can start a nuclear war, but if that’s their only option, they lost already. Starting a nuclear war is not a trivial thing and those psychopaths are madly afraid of dying.
So you expect me to buy into the hysteria created by stupid and incompetent people. I would rather follow logic and what the reality shows. That’s what rules the day, not some insanity.
“EU to weigh €1B aid package for Ukraine” made me chuckle …
Involuntarily, the image of “drops on a hot stone” comes to mind…
People do not understand that the Ukrainians must be put in a position to generate this 1 billion themselves.
And it is stupid to leave a historically grown “civilization area” in order to join another one, which does not need you…
Our €1B aid Ukraine will give directly to the US, for buying брикеты. Great. Something tells me this won’t be the only aid package our Lords in Brussels will give to the Ukraine.
Hopefully this is sturm und drang, rumours of war, noise to distract from markets going belly-up. ‘Time and tide wait for no man.’
Even a limited “Russian incursion” can be faked; I remember studios in Dubai and Arizona staging scenes of Syria and Libya wars.
They just need 2% of the time occupied by start of the war, then immediately switch to markets collapse “as a response to Russian aggression.”
If the crazies intend to do the real kamikaze attack, Feb 1 is the expected new moon, so the night before it would be darkest.
Perhaps I made an overly optimistic comment…. :-)
Anyway, I’m a big fan of yours Andrei, and I consider your site to be by far one of the best, both in terms of content and management. The first one I read in the morning.
Good day and best regards, Maurizio
Two quotes come to mind at once,”The ides of March” and “The guns of August”. The West is rushing headlong towards war with Russia. And I think it is probably going to happen. I can only hope NATO will get the beating they so richly deserve. And the world can finally be free of US control. I said a long time ago that only a good beating would wake the Western peoples from their fantasy world,and I’ve seen nothing since then that would change my mind on that.
Ideed they need teaching the lesson the Vietnamese gave the US,with body bags going home every day,sad but thats where we are.sorry to say but that British warship that violated Russian waters off Crimea last year could have been sunk,maybe that would have woken the idiots up,the warmongers in London were playing with the lives of our sailors.
The problem is that there are not enough living and significantly important bodies around (in the conflict areas) for sufficient filling of body bags to make a psychological impact (we should not count the “locals” designated for the meat grinder). Thus, for the desired effect the body bags should be filled at sites such as the City of London/Whitehall/Chatnam House and Big Five Banks/Capitol/various Thinktanks, intelligence agencies, and data collection centers.
If Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Patrick Leahy, and Antony Blinken have any sense, make someone like Cruz, Wicker, or another McCarthy 2.0, such as the 23rd unrepresentative of California Secretary of State, have Biden resign, and let a typical Neocon Repugnant crackpot take responsibility for what is to come.
Probably not smart enough.
Working my way through some of the links (a 1/2 dozen so far) and notice many are from RT and, Ihave to say, it’s a little disappointing to see RT (Russian) keep using the same Western mainstream accusations (and fear mongering) of China that it (China) is flying provocative missions in Taiwan’s Air Identification Zone. That “zone” extends all the way across the Taiwan Straight and out over the Chinese mainland and (to my incomplete) knowledge, the Chinese have never encroached on actual Taiwanese territory. This, of course, sells the evil/agressive Chinese narrative just like “massing troops” sells the evil/agressive Russian one…but why RT. Get it right RT, or is that just an attempt to pander to Western audiences, from where (looking at the RT ads) a substantial portion of RT’s revenue comes from?
You raise an important point here. Others on this website have mentioned the mindset of Stoltenberg and his manipulative method of seeming to agree with a policy or some group, then stabbing it in the back.
I have interpreted that the activity of RT involves a similar methodology: an attempt to win over the US audience and get them hooked with US style presentation and some issues which seem anti-Russian and anti-Chinese…but then bring in other topics which then present the Russian thinking…a good propaganda tactic… not in a backstabbing manner like Stoltenbergs method but manipulative nevertheless..
Remember that RT does not need to preach to the converted…
The purpose of all this US orchestrated tension is just that, tension. But not war. The purpose of tension is to bail out the dollar which has been taking a beating the past six months as more and more people realize that the US is insolvent.
Whenever tension rises in the world, and especially in Europe, investors run to the dollar because of it’s historical record of safety in troubled times as the US is remote from all the troubled spots.
Hence whenever the dollar gets in trouble, and it has never been in worse trouble than today, the US just manufactures tension somewhere and all those panicked investors run back to the dollar.
Read this headline a few hours ago ‘ NATO REINFORCES EASTERN BORDER’.
Can Anyone tell me exactly where NATO’s Eastern Border is?
The question is semi=rhetorical but does it include only full NATO members or does it include those countries with designs on membership?
The only way out of this mess is for Ukraine to declare itself neutral.
‘There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the Joker (USA) to the Thief (USA)
There’s too much confusion
I can’t get no relief . . . . . .’
Alexander Vindman — ‘There’s going to be a large European war’…
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/alexander-vindman-theres-going-to-be-a-large-european-war/
Yes, that Vindman who testified against Trump in impeachment hearings.
Congressman Dr. Paul Gosar gets it right
“We have no dog in the Ukraine fight. Not one American soldier should die there..”
Vidman seems to believe it will be confined to Europe. Nope, Russia has made it clear that it will target not only the proximate sources of attack but the real source, the US mainland.
Are US leaders truly that deluded? Hopefully not, just lousy poker players who will fold or call in the realization of defeat.
Almost comical.
This is a very grave situation. I’m beginning to think that these USA nut cases may try to “get Crimea back”.
Captured and gutted out UkrNazia is now the 5 ayes’s tool. As their handlers are London and Washington are now actively asking for trouble, watch Putin hand NATO their asses. Germany know and is staying out. So is Turkey. I see new Russia/Belarus federation border on Vistula, and NATO forces caught in Baltic states calderon, which makes “Debaltseve on steroids”.
The USA is an aging silverback alpha gorilla. As he begins to weaken, the others sense it. One day they will suddenly gang up and kill him. That is how it goes.
I’m completely sanguine with what is happening and how it will work out, quite relaxed actually, the only think that is winding me up is the constant waffle coming from the US/UK/NATO teleprompter queens in the West. Blah blah blah, bluff bluff bluff. They’d better hope and pray that the bear doesn’t decide to leave its den when it should be hibernating. Once the S400s start appearing on the borders of Ukraine that’s a de facto no fly zone imposed. The Ukies aint going to win anything with no aircraft flying and the Russian airforce on their backs. Total slaughter and all because, just like Georgia, the Yanks will make promises then cut and run.
Scott Ritter says that the US could, at most and in ideal circumstances, insert three brigades into Eastern Europe as back up. But he says that these brigades would be totally insignificant as deterrence and would be liquidated in the event of hostilities escalating between Russia and NATO itself.
He also says that economic sanctions will divide and hurt Western Europe at a precarious moment. So, the toolkit is really empty and the US is just posturing and losing its mind. Any thoughts?
It seems like all of that is true. And that a rational leadership would get it. But, at the same time, and given the changing balance of power in the world, the US empire is at stake and US elites will likely make a huge mistake by triggering a conflict. The results will not only be the loss of Ukraine but the possible humiliation and defeat of NATO, starting with missile strikes on missile bases in Romania and Poland. Ritter underestimates the imperial interest in war in Washington, and the desperation of the US ruling class to maintain its global supremacy. This is about saving the globally dominant position of the US ruling class. A realist theory of IR can’t appreciate that, or needs to incorporate a Marxist theory of class, capitalism and imperialism.
https://consortiumnews.com/2022/01/22/ukraine-crisis-us-toolboxes-are-empty/
Ritter is probably talking to military people who are always more realistic about war than the denizens of the hot-house of Washington. But the senior civilian staff at State and the Pentagon as well as nearly all the mainstream media and Congress all want war to stem (they believe) the steep decline of the US in international affairs. As they view it, they have to show their power to unite Europe and show the US might to the Chinese.
The media hysteria shows that the oligarchs who run the media want war. This hysteria does not strengthen the means of NATO.
The Russian navy has announced maneuvers off the coast of Ireland, right at the location of a transatlantic cable junction.
If we follow the logic of Tarik’s post on this blog yesterday, an escalation in Europe is only of interest to the US if it allows them to keep Europe. But this goal can only be reached in the framework of a war limited to Ukraine. But the Russians also demand guarantees in Romania, Bulgaria and Poland. A widening of the theater beyond Ukraine will have very negative consequences for the empire. According to Tarik, the loss of Europe leads to the loss of the Middle East, which leads to irreparable losses in the whole of Asia and even in Africa.
This refers to this book, quoted several times by Andrei and written by a druid. A secondary war would lead to the collapse of the house of cards. Maybe we are just at the beginning of this moment.
Some dissention in NATO from Croatia.
https://www.rt.com/russia/547307-croatia-withdraw-nato-troops/
“…Croatian President Zoran Milanovic has announced that Zagreb will pull its troops out of NATO contingents stationed in the region should the situation spiral into a full-scale conflict. Speaking on Tuesday in a televised address, the leader said he sees “reports that NATO – not a separate state, not the US – is increasing its presence and sending reconnaissance ships.”
He insisted that Zagreb’s authorities “have nothing to do with it and we won’t have anything to do with it, I guarantee you that.”
“Not only will we not send the military, but if there is an escalation, we will recall every last Croatian military man,” Milanovic said. “This has nothing to do with Ukraine or Russia, it has to do with the dynamics of American domestic politics, [US President] Joe Biden and his administration, which I supported.”
However, the Croatian president pointed out that he “sees dangerous behavior in matters of international security……”
It’s also interesting that the Biden meeting with “European Leaders” yesterday there were only 5 European countries present on the call plus 2 x non-elected EU Presidents and NATO head. That does not represent European leaders and may be why some are now pushing back.
https://tass.com/world/1392559
Important development. Houthies attack several targets in S.A. and UAE. Including a US air-base.
All this news and not a single mention of the real issue, namely, not enough natural gas to go around. The Russian block has enough for its own needs and to export, but Europe and GB do not.
Hegemon politics demands either crippling Russia with sanctions until their natural gas is available where Hegemon dictates (this is lunacy born of desperation) or to start a war and blame it on Russia (only slightly less crazy).
Eventually Hegemon will be forced to admit it is weak.
It’s almost as if the West’s leaders are so superficial that they want a war now to spoil China’s Olympic games.
Hold everything! The Yanks are coming. Biden has a very ready force on alert. 8500 in the US, ready to go save Europe and Ukraine from Putin and his Russian hordes.
They will hook up with 31,500 European NATO troops and those 40,000 will stand on the East Europe borders and yell “Boo!” to scare Shoigu’s guys.
Obviously, Russians will blink and cease their operations.
Martyanov said they’re 8500 guys standing around without orders earlier today.
That’s the 173rd Ranger battalion out of Bragg. Those are some tuff guy’s, make no mistake. However going up against Russia is a suicide move. Young men should not have to pay the ultimate price for a old man’s dementia.
These “tuff guys” couldn’t even beat some tribesmen running around in flip flops and with AK-47s in the hills and plains of Afghanistan. These “tuff guys” have never fought an enemy without the benefit of total air dominance. They’re not going to enjoy that advantage versus the Russians and it may even be a case of vice versa.
In Oslo today, the military has a extreme activity, using the ancient Bell helicopter, flying back and forward.
Never seen this kind of activity ever, and I would guess its a part of “be scared of the Russians” tactic.
I can not say if its the same helicopters that are simply flying back and forward over our capital, but its in pair of two.
I guess its not many hours before they put soldiers in the street just to underline how dangerous the Russian threat is right now.
Voices that pushes this narrative gets the megaphone 📣 where ever people can be reached.
All this, just as the pandemic is collapsing. What a game…
Joe Doe the Norwegian.
What you personally are seeing in Norway is the tip of the iceberg. Military / aviation activity is alarming.
There are several open source flight trackers, like 24flightradar.
And like trainspotters, there are guys who spend most of their day watching.
At times like these, I watch the chat threads:
Some comments from threads monitoring:
>Plane spotter nerd: “I have never seen so many active military planes over Europe before”
> Holy shit the traffic in europe is crazy right now
> 55,000ft. FORTE-12 RQ-4 Global Hawk surveilling the contact line at Luhansk and Donetsk
§What the fuck is going on with FORTE12. Dear god thats playing with fire.
> F-15E’s just got nuclear certification to carry the B62mark12 thermonuclear bomb with Dial-a-Yield.
§They have nukes where they can control the yield in order to hit precision targets??
§Yes, it controls the amount of tritium gas that goes into the core before the detonation therefore has some control over the yield. It’s not that special, it’s literally an electric valve and it’s electronic control system.
> SVF623 does daily surveillance of Kaliningrad
>A CIA “special activity” plane landed in Lulea, Sweden
>what they doing in Denmark? = §Guarding the Gotland Strait.
> Lot of military traffic landing at Warsaw today. Bunch of Polish C-295 troop transports, some USAF C-130s, and now a US Defense Department Learjet.
> Rafel off the coast of france just did -13k feet/minute climb rare… someone is having fun
> Over the weekend we had two E-6Bs over the oceans, and also had EAMs directly to them. It’s kinda obvious to say, but shit’s starting to get scary
I honestly thought that the Russia/Ukraine thing was going to blow over by now
> That’s an E-4B Nightwatch. This plane is the “Flying Pentagon” and can launch nuclear weapons if DC gets nuked.
> RUMINT: 82nd Airborne to go to Latvia.
§These f€ baltics are such cry babies. Putin doesn’t even give a shit about Latvia.
> There is a P8 sub hunter off the coast of Florida doing search patterns. Russia what the fuck are you doing?
And so on. These threads are running 24/7 at moment. Lots of knowledgeable ex military guys chatting. They seem particularly “alert” as they are seeing things that are “not normal”, and would only be seen in prep for further escalation.
Thanks.
Today the sun is shining and no helicopters in the air.
Yesterday was all crazy.
OK, it’s yet just 1300 local time, mid day, but the silence is complete.
Maybe someone pointed out that the helicopters where just roaring back and forward over the city for like 6 to eight hours, doing nothing but creating a sense of huge danger?
Cause that is what I suspected, by the patterns of the traffic.
There might ith be some sort of “nachspiel” to this supposed fear mongering. It did not go unnoticed.
The west will fight Russia til the last drop of Ukrainian blood,,
Stock Markets Dropping Like Rocks; DOW Down 925 and falling
Talk of actual war in Europe, and rumors it could “go nuclear” are feeding a large sell-off in U.S. stocks, Monday. This follows the S&P 500′s worst week since March 2020, as investors awaited more corporate earnings results and a key policy decision from the Federal Reserve.
So far today, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost about 925 points, or 2.7%, falling for a seventh straight day. The S&P 500 shed 3.3%. The benchmark is down more than 11% from its intraday high. The Nasdaq Composite declined 4%, falling deeper into correction territory.
The market action Monday followed a brutal week on Wall Street in the face of mixed company earnings and worries about rising interest rates.
Monday’s pullback put the S&P 500 down more than 10% this month, on pace for its worst monthly decline since March 2020 and worst January performance ever. The Dow was also headed for its biggest one-month loss since March 2020, falling more than 8%. The Nasdaq, meanwhile, has dropped roughly 15% in January and is on pace for its worst month since October 2008 — when it plunged 17.7%.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), known on Wall Street as the market’s “fear gauge,” hit its highest level since November 2020, surpassing the 38 level.
Big lol merika/uk/eu/nato
I am often wrong on these ideas…. but please feel free to correct me, how else can we learn.
I suspect the collapse of the stock market, will take the US dollar with it. No amount of “new” printed fiat money will restore it. Who will want the US dollar then?
I can see Russia helping Europe as a humanitarian effort with the supply of gas to get through the winter. The governments are the danger and source of trouble, not the people of these countries. That will go a long way to helping Europe disengage from the US.
I’m sorry to say this, but Russian leadership doesn’t quite know how to handle NATO’s wartime propaganda. It does not matter how many times they say “we will not invade Ukraine” if the Axis powers (USA/UK/CAN/UA/NATO/etc.) attack first (via false flag) or normally to provoke a Russian response.
Sure, a counterattack of massive quantity to leave a crater in Kiev is one thing, but I strongly believe it will not win the hearts of the Western population that does not want war.
The propagandist media attack dogs will be released and will blame Russia for the conflict regardless… they do not ever air ANY Russian response whatsoever to begin with on same propagandist media stations/websites, so how can anyone expect to get the real truth? They certainly don’t air any of the Ukranian Nazi garbage on the propaganda networks.
So all this buildup and grandstanding of Russian aggression/Ukrainian support is the only narrative to be considered “canon”. It gives Ukraine/Azov free reign to attack Donbass without any negative effects because it will warrant a Russian response to pin the blame on.
The UK weapons shipment most likely had “faux-Novichok” &/or Sarin onboard for what Belarus says false flag terrorist attacks are imminent.
Russia should be telling all civilians in the Donbass that now is the time to come to Russia immediately, as evacuation is crucial.
War is coming.
Unfortunately Russia would be attacked now or later.
It would be attacked anyway.
How is it possible that there are no healthy minds in Pentagon who could stop the hawks?
That is statistically impossible?
There are some in the Pentagon but they are overwhelmed by the alliance of corrupt generals, mainstream media gauleiters, think-takland, military contractors nearly all of Congress, both political parties, the spooks, and so on. Only some realist officers and the finance oligarchs have a problem with a war.
For Russia that fight is probably better now than later. It has strategic, tactical advantages the West does not yet have.
I was thinking about taking out Ukrainian citizenship and then enlisting in their army for 6 years. The $50k on offer for doing so was very tempting as currently I’m working a desk job for MI6, specialising in Russian propaganda, liaising with Bellingcat. Upon making further enquiries on the deal, the $50k will not be paid until after the 6 years while the money sits in a Goldman Sachs High Interest Platinum Savers Account. With life expectancy as it is, and sure to deteriorate, I weighed matters up and thought, sod that for a game of soldiers. The thought of sharing a barracks with braindead Ukrainians & Poles also had a bearing on my decision.
MI6 got wind of my intentions and wanting to keep me on, said they might have something for me in the middle of next year in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan or Belarus. Don’t quote me on this as I’ve signed the Official Secrets Act.
I have read a report, (I forget where), that the Ukrainians are handing out rifles to civilians so that they can conduct geurilla war against the “invading Russians,”.
I wonder if they thought that through?
I have a feeling europe is also a target by America for challenging the dollar. All European countries are in debts. Now, America is going for the kill to keep the sheep in the barn dependant on America from energy and more importantly financing.
It doesn’t make sense to pick a fight with Russia when they can’t win Afghanistan or Iraq. Or, maybe they got some sense, decided if you lose lose to a worthy opponent and lose big. Something is very fishy. The Europeans proved they are as very naive and impotent as the gulf shaikhs. Even the the shaikh did fall for the trap to fight Iran. I met a Russian in the USA in 2005. He said the north of the equator will be fucked up. my friend get a big TV and enjoy. But Russia today is not what it was in 2005. The only people are afraid of America are the American people.
Wow – things have gone from bad to worse so quickly as the War Party of the USA was in full gunboat diplomacy mode yesterday. Now with discussion of sending 50,000 troops to Eastern Europe and another (?) 8,500 troops to Ukraine, it appears Russia has no recourse but to go in hard sooner than later. Exactly how Russia will attack the Ukraine is open to question, but no doubt it has to happen soon else the USA could put its troops in the direct path of Russian standoff weapons.
I think Russia should simply subject Ukraine to “shock and awe” and call it that. After all, Americans always wax nostalgic. This would include taking out most if not all military installations within the country and any place where Ukrainian military exists within the country. Furthermore, once the smoke clears, I believe Russia should encourage displaced Ukrainians living in Russia and in the Donbass to move forward and take back the country from the Nazis.
I may be wrong but the USA I believe gave Iraq a 48-hour warning. The warning said that unless Saddam Hussein and his two sons left Iraq, there would be war. At the same time, the warning also was given to UN arms experts and any other foreigners still in the country to leave immediately. So in fairness, if I were Putin, I’d make a similar TV address telling the world that in 48 hours Ukraine and its military installations will be subject to war and that all foreign forces have been warned to leave the country immediately. The reason for this warning is to stave off any attempt by the USA to put its troops in harms way.
Lastly, I’d declare a no fly zone effectively immediately over the entire country.
I write this with the hope that war might be avoided. However, what appears to be happening is the War Party has seized the corporate media megaphone and begun egging on “the Biden” to commit troops to Ukraine in a war scenario – regardless of whether such troop commitments would bring the two superpowers to blow. Once these troops land in Ukraine, World War III will be inevitable – including the possible use of nuclear weapons. Keeping them out of Ukraine is critical.
Terrifying, sad, and completely irrational, in this moment the USA must be taught a lesson because it won’t stop until Moscow capitulates.
re: The Kansan
You say “I may be wrong but the USA I believe gave Iraq a 48-hour warning . . . So in fairness, if I were Putin, I’d make a similar TV address telling the world that in 48 hours Ukraine and its military installations will be subject to war and that all foreign forces have been warned to leave the country immediately.”
Putin has been warning for a long time and you see the result.
How about giving the same 5 minute warning the US gave the Russians last February? Russia says the U.S. gave only a few minutes’ warning before its military strike in Syria
I’m embarrassed to ask – did you warn Hiroshima and Nagasaki for how many hours – days?
And Korea, Vietnam, Yushoslavia, Libya, Syria .. how much did you warn?
And Russia before the attack of Georgia?
American post-truth? Alternative history?
48 hours is the established international procedure for the administrative expulsion of a person non grata from the country.
If you do not change my memory,
George Bush “exclusively” in his televised address to the American nation from the central hall of the White House on all American TV channels, put forward an ultimatum to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. If Hussein and his sons do not comply with the demand of the ultimatum, there will be a “military conflict that will begin at our discretion” and his sons do not comply with the demand of the ultimatum, there will be a “military conflict that will begin at our discretion
To which Saddam Hussein replied on the radio: “Iraq does not choose its path at the behest of foreigners and does not determine its leaders according to the directives of Washington, London or Tel Aviv”
Bush, in the same address, called on the people of Iraq to disobey orders to use weapons of mass destruction and…
Do not damage oil wells!
The fate of Iraq will be decided in a matter of days.
“If a war starts, don’t fight for a dying regime – it’s not worth your lives. Your fate will depend on your actions.
The US believes in the commitment of the Iraqi people to the ideals of democracy and liberalism.
After the dictator is driven out, America is ready to help Iraq build a democratic state, and this democratic state will become a model for other countries in the Middle East.
The US President also addressed the Iraqi army, noting that it has a future, and it depends on whether it will resist the disarmament of Iraq. “War criminals will be severely punished,” George Bush stressed.
the US has the right to start disarming Saddam Hussein on its own.
Baghdad has clearly demonstrated violations of UN Security Council Resolution N1441.
For more than 10 years, the US has been working to disarm Iraq peacefully, and our faith in Iraq has not been justified. The Iraqi authorities constantly deceived the UN inspectors.
America is ready to take on the heavy role of a country that will “deal with Saddam Hussein.
We are taking on this mission because we recognize the danger posed by Iraq.
Iraq maintains contact with international terrorist organizations, in particular with Al-Qaeda. Thus, by possessing weapons of mass destruction and supporting terrorists, Saddam Hussein’s regime poses a serious danger to millions of people in the United States and elsewhere.
Today, no country can say that Iraq has disarmed.
There is no doubt that Iraq still possesses weapons of mass destruction, while continuing to hide it.
This can lead to many deaths both in our country and in any other.
Therefore, the United States will use the right to use force to ensure its own security.”
PS I don’t remember Hussein attacking the USA or American citizens, and generally threatening US National Security. Indeed, only in this case, Russia will destroy the USA / NATO (with a preemptive / preventive strike with all the firepower of its strategic nuclear forces)))
The would be vanguard of the western alliance do not understand the term “asymmetrical response” in the same vein they do not understand, “we, as victims of aggression, as martyrs, will go to heaven,”
May the source of justice and mercy protect the innocent.
Of all the headlines this is the one that makes me laugh out loud “Israel said preparing for potential need to evacuate Ukrainian Jews in case of war”, Is Zelensky also going to be evacuated? Perhaps that’s why the cluesless British said that Russia is planning to replace the anti-Russia Ukrainian government with with a pro-Russia one.
Good point. I thought they were predicting what will happen and scapegoating .
yes they should.it”s only way out of this mess but..you can not expect it from clown in the Kyiv and banderistas who control him beside DS……
Newbie here. Could RF set up a no fly zone covering Ukraine and NATO bases in Romania and Poland. Close the space to civil aviation and shoot down a few F35s, defend the S400s from drones and Tomahawks and just sit tight and wait for NATO alliance glue to fail? Simply defending the motherland from perceived threats, Nobody is going to invade Russia. Not really that many deaths. The RF would need a lot of missiles to keep this up for a year or two. Oh and sanctions. Could china/russia require dollar payments cleared through either the chinese or the russian bank message system? customer choice of course.
Wouldn’t it be easier and less expensive to just go and compete fairly at the Winter Olympics?
But it’s the Military-Industrial-Congressional-Media complex, Stupid!
And they gotta shift inventory.
The last bastion of hope (not really) were the talks between Cuba and Russia. This is obviously rekindling their friendship and possibly planning to bring nukes + hypersonics to Cuba.
Destined to repeat what’s effective… except Biden forgot history — he doesn’t even know what he ate for breakfast.
There are no laws to prevent Russia from sending one or more nuclear submarines to patrol up and down the Caribbean Coast South of Cuba in international waters. The US, however, would hypocritically get very hot and bothered if the Russian subs patrolled along the Northern Coast which would take it into the Florida Straights and the Gulf of Mexico. If Washington thinks that it owns Ukraine, having overthrown its legit government, it most certainly feels it owns those bodies of water.
But, ya never know. Gitmo is on the Caribbean side of the island and the US has several shipyards full of war vessels parked up and down the Atlantic Seaboard as well as in the Gulf. They could send a flotilla of warships to lock down the entire Caribbean, and this would preclude sending Russian vessels to Venezuela as well–assuming US vessels do not give a shit about committing illegal acts of war on the high seas any more than they do on land. The US will eat the dinner right off your plate but bust you in the chops for looking at them. Yet the international media call Russia bellicose. Basically, all that America has been doing is building up the biggest war machine in the history of Planet Earth ever since WWII–all at the expense of tax paying John Q. Public I might mention. At least Russia and China throw their citizens some social benefits of citizenship.
OK a thoroughly scary set of headlines, but maybe we should stay a little calm and think things through.
I think Saker and others have very clearly outlines the Russian position ie no invasion of Ukraine unless absolutely forced, so i will not expand much on this.
So what about the US. Now one thing I think many here just do not fully get especially if they are based in Europe, Russia or even if really emotionally and culturally tied to Russia or the Middle East or East Asia is the complexity of US decision making. They have a creaking outmoded government structure, probably well suited to 1780 but absurd today.
The US president is not and never was in real control of the nation, The forces opposed to him/her include the 50 states, the Congress, the appointed power hungry and jockeying “secretaries”, the judiciary, and the military are all given constitutionally significant roles which allow them to block or hinder most decisions. Because managing this mess is impossible, the various alphabet soup of “security agencies” have arisen to fill the vacuum and to try to direct matters, but of course they do not always agree either. People talk of the “deep state” but just just which of the CIA, FBI, NSA or other more secret agencies is actually in control is unclear and indeed this changes year to year or even week to week.
Then when you add to this mix of competing formal governmental agencies, you have the powerful but informal networks, most obviously the Military Industrial Complex and Wall st but also the various agricultural lobbies, bankers, Hollywood, Media tycoons and most recently the tech giants of silicon valley. The two dominant parties are also very powerful. Then you add to this mix external agents of foreign powers (three stand out UK, Israel, Saudi Arabia, but I would suspect that there are times and places where others such as France, Germany, Japan and even China may have played a role) you have a complex mess.
So what does a US President (or his close advisors) do to navigate this mess. Assuming they (or advisors) have some brains they must try to build coalitions of competing interests- practically impossible of course). A really clever POTUS can manipulate the situation but few have this skill. The last was probably Bush the elder. Clinton had a dream run- the collapse of the USSR and no challenges so he just spent big and partied. Little Bush handed control to the neocons safe tin the assumption that there were no rivals but missed the resurgence of Russia and China as they followed the Israeli agenda. Obama basically backed down and chose just one or two issues to try to deliver. Trump blustered his way and tried to achieve- he oddly enough did pretty well until COVID destroyed him, but the destructive forces against him were enormous. He dis delay WWIII by 4 years
OK so how about Biden. He is not I suspect as stupid or demented as he is portrayed. Now assuming Biden does not actually want war (an assumption for now anyway) or at least has been persuaded by rational people that it is not wise, what can he do? He cannot publicly agree to Russia’s demands because he would lose his job or even his life. He has met with Putin and his advisors have been negotiating. With all this war bluster if (when) Russia does not invade Ukraine, Biden is the winner in that he can be portrayed as having stood up to Russia and scared him off, This is a win-win solution given Russia does not want to invade, but it is saleable to the US people and to SOME of the competing mess of special interests. Just as did JFK, he might quietly in 6 months find a reason why armaments in Romania, Bulgaria, Poland etc might need to be sent home for maintenance etc, and somehow delayed in ever returning.
Pressure for Europe may see NATO downgraded as a European Defence force is established- even if it only includes Germany and France. US forces in Europe would withdraw because it can be argued that Europe can now look after itself.
I am being optimistic here. I hope I am right.
Also, Putin has called Havana and Caracas. Who would have thought back then, when the friends Vladimir and George peered into each other’s soul, that for Russia the old betrayed friends will come handy again. But will they is the question now.
Well, I hope they get the lease the Gitmo-Hotel once the current torture chambers of hell are evicted for breaking the contract agreements (or do the Cubans agree with them?).
A shiny new S400 docked in the bay should help settle any leasee eviction disputes on the day. Lol.
Cubans are not suicidal. As for Russia, it learns its lessons hard way for there is no historical continuity in acquiring knowledge and political experience. Yeltsin didn’t learn anything from Gorbachev’s mistakes, Putin, at least until much later, didn’t learn from the mistakes of either of his predecessors. It’s much easier to tear down than to build up.
More ‘P R ‘ from formers empires warmongers + EU non elected idiots
Group of NATO countries, including UK, threaten Russia with ‘unprecedented’ sanctions
The leaders resolved to continue coordinating closely on any such response.
“The leaders agreed that, should a further Russian incursion into Ukraine happen, allies must enact swift retributive responses including an unprecedented package of sanctions. They resolved to continue coordinating closely on any such response,” the statement says.
According to earlier reports, the video call was attended by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President Charles Michel, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and the leaders of the UK, Italy, Poland, France and Germany. It was closed for the media.
Importance of diplomacy

Please ‘translate’ by: they don’t agree at all on potential sanctions because it would destroy them first(EU/UK mainly).
Heads of leading NATO states warn about consequences in case of aggression against Ukraine
German government spokesperson Steffen Hebestreit said the leaders agreed that Russia’s new aggression against Ukraine will have very serious consequences.
“All participants expressed great concern about large-scale movements of Russian troops and about the escalation caused by Russia. Together, they expressed the opinion that Russia should take meaningful steps towards de-escalation,” the German government spokesperson said.
“All participants were also united in the opinion that issues of security and stability in Europe should be resolved through negotiations. They confirmed readiness to continue relevant diplomatic efforts, including within the framework of Germany and France’s efforts in the Normandy Format,” Hebestreit continued.
“At the same time, the participants reaffirmed unlimited support to sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. They agreed that Russia’s new aggression against Ukraine will have very serious consequences,” he added.

My ‘translation’: if they have such confidence, why then do they need to repeat it 24/7? Nobody cares about their show anymore.
Next week they will switch to China.
Plenty of good comments as usual. The sordid history of Norwegian politics was new to me, a Dane living in Sweden, I did not know. Well, all the hypocrisy is usually covered up or outright banned. Hmmmn…
Once upon a time, in 1945, a book was published by ” Danmarks Frihedsråd” it was called Borup Arkivet. The book contained all the names of people who had at one time been members of the Danish national socialist party.
I had a copy once, I did indeed go through it, it was sad reading, so many public figures were listed in it.
Granted, many were quite young when they had their fling with Nazism, but they should have known better, or maybe these people were devoid of humanity. I dont know, and I am not fit to judge them publicly, but I can in private. Are you an actual human if you lack basic human traits?
In the book “The scourge of the swastika” (recommended) a small passage describes a truly evil SS executioner that devoted all his spare time feeding and caring lovingly for wild birds. Now what to make of that?
We do know today that bestiality is predictable based on how you treat animals as a youngster or adolescent, so what gives…
Lord Russel of Liverpool (author) tries to explain it, but I do not think he gets it completely.
I recommend the book, especially to these depraved holocaust deniers that pop up like bloody weeds in a garden, My own family (now long, long gone) had a rather colourful experience of WWII, one part was on the eastern front with the Germans, the other part was deeply at work with the Resistance movement.
Back, back then Mom and Dad would wear themselves thin at family reunions trying to keep peace and quiet, especially at X-mas, the only thing allowed was my uncle singing “Heilige Nacht” in German, as he had done at Stalingrad.
I actually dont know why I wrote all this, maybe it is because I feel some pity for Ukraine and its people, but Ukraine shows us how thin the veneer of being civilized in reality is.
I do hope the coming generations will be smarter than we were and try harder, go hug a tree or better a fellow human.
Writing on Andrey’s blog is always pleasant, because there probably is some sort of commonness, well OK he resides in the US, I have only been there on a stopover so that does not count.
I am a double citizen (given up becoming a triple) it has not really given me any advantages, because citizens of the Scandinavian countries already have extended rights. Meaning: I can go anywhere in Scandinavia and I will have a right to live and work automatically. No questions asked. I can even do that on social security.
And what has this done to us: I think we generally self-isolate, we are not especially interested in the world outside Scandinavia. (You know the Barbarians are at the border, right in Sønderjylland) there all the Teutonic tribes are waiting patiently…)
But we have Ogier the Dane (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogier_the_Dane) who will stem the tide of unwashed Germans and other peoples and what not ;) sorry about that).
Life has taught me two lessons: Where you are born, matters enormously, born to well of parents : good.
Not being a nut case those two conditions will make sure you have a decent ,and maybe prosperous life.
But what are the chances you get born in Denmark or Sweden? I tried and gave up. I can not calculate it.
War or no peace? In any case, we should be soon fixed.
Remembee the Gleiwitz Incident,,
we should be soon fixed.
Remember the Gleiwitz Incident..
Now why do I tell all such things. I suppose it is at least not it has somehow been recorded and will not be forgotten, is you know where to seek. And if you have a troubled history, it does not make it easier.
I fell no blame for those things I am blameless, it was not me. But family will not be of the hook that easily. Well at at least one half made up for the bad things the other did.
But I still cherish the Iron Class first class. second class, the close fighting badge in gold and his second lieutenant pips awarded for bravery in february of 1945. He did come home, but ostracised, but we were a few that did not feel that way. He gave me before his death, his medals, half of them I buried with my younger brother, the rest goes with me. I feel it is ok, I have more than done my service time, my family has plenty, and I have a deep and profound love of my countries.
Dont ever threat Sweden or Denmark.
The US is trying at any cost to start a war to hide its collapse, to hide the collapse of the financial market where capital is concentrated. And they are accusing Russia of causing this war, they are teasing Russia to initiate it. But, Russia will not initiate it for them. Russia is too strong to be intimidated. Thus, Ukraine will do it for them.
One thing is obvious: Ukraine has become the rubbish collection point for obsolete weapons from the west. They will be used to measure Russian reaction.
NATO, which is so deeply involved, may do something after the Ukrainians are neutralized.
Additionally, we can predict that insurrections, acts of sabotage and murders will continue to occur in Eastern Europe and other parts of the world, performed by the same perpetrators – CIA/Mossad Gladio-like operators – and other agents that may appear. The US/UK/isahell will continue spreading terror in places where these will somehow affect Russia, China, Iran and allies. These countries will need to organise an International Agency to investigate these crimes so the perpetrators won’t run unpunished. The mechanisms of control of the new world order must quickly be established.
I would like to understand why Russia did not recognize the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Lugansk People’s Republic. Wouldn’t this facilitate Russian support in their war against the Ukrainian fascists? This war could be just a regional war, but it may spread…
The Minks agreement was negotiated one year after the illegal coup in Kiev. That was supposed to ‘fix’ everything. Plus due to the fact that the referendum to join the RF was far from overwhelming, as it had been in Crimea, Russia was not going to annex somebody who didn’t want to be annexed. Same with S. Ossetia. Fix problem then go away.
Do invasion plans include waiting for Ukrainian allies and arm shipments to show up?
Again, it “seems” to me that this a stir in the coop on the Outskirts of Russia (on Ukraine), just a cover operation labeled “Battle for Europe” is a hybrid war:
– for the supremacy of $ over €, a war for EU assets (finance, technology, brains … natural resources).
– for blocking the political-financial-economic interaction of the European Union with Russia and China (on a non-dollar basis, the means of payment operates on the basis of the commodity-currency reserves of “settlement gold”, including electronic / digital form))):
– against the Russian project “Greater Eurasian Partnership” of the concept/initiative “Greater Eurasia”;
– war against the Chinese initiative “One belt – one road” and “Maritime Silk Road”.
“Preemptive strike” RF-PRC
Russia and China intend to introduce an international settlement system/s independent of the US dollar and a currency at the regional level within the framework of regional associations such as the EAEU.
The military response of the Russian Armed Forces in the “semi-hard” version of the non-nuclear operational-tactical plan will take from 4 to 20 minutes.
By the way, Russia withdrew from the US National Debt (~29.0 trillion.))).
REFERENCE
Eurasian Financial Cluster (EFC) on the basis of a two-loop money circulation system
The two-loop nature of the EFC system assumes that national monetary units serve production and consumption in domestic national markets, while trade between states is carried out in collectively created conventional monetary units, the value of which will be fixed in gold!
“According to the studies of the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, conducted at the beginning of the 21st century according to the methodology of the World Bank, Russia’s share in the world national wealth was 11%, and the total value of the material part of the national wealth, namely fixed and circulating assets plus natural resources, was determined at $40 trillion.
For reference, the national wealth of the United States at the same time was estimated at $24 trillion.
Thus, Russia at the beginning of the century had a national wealth that was 2.5 times the national wealth of the United States.
Currently, the tangible part of the national wealth, including human capital, is estimated by the head of the Research Institute of Statistics, Doctor of Economics. V.M. Simcheroy in the amount of $65 trillion.
At the same time, this calculation was made according to the current exchange rate of the ruble against the dollar, and not according to purchasing power parity (PPP). Also, the monetization of existing financial reserves, assets of extra-budgetary funds is not taken into account …”
The main source of income for the West/USA is the issue of the dollar – the Fed and its servants, the ECB.
But… the US dollar economy is collapsing, the dollar is weakening and losing confidence against the backdrop of Washington’s covert attempt to convert world settlements into the US Digital Dollar. If we add the global shortage of mining and water resources, food production, …
Approaching polit-economy-finance- … – the military Apocalypse.

4-20 minutes, this is the time for inflicting an “Instant [missile and bomb] strike” (stage of the “Great Global Strike” / time for inflicting “unacceptable damage” to a “probable enemy” (destruction / “defeat” of intelligence, communications, control … points decision-making, … places of concentration of weapons and military equipment, troops, infrastructure facilities).
PS Russia today has superiority over the United States in strategic nuclear charges by almost 4 (four) times, and in the so-called. tactical – more than 15 (fifteen) times!
The United States has not produced nuclear weapons since the 90s. Lost competence resources, potential. Today, unable to maintain and extend the state shelf life of nuclear weapons – the United States is sawing the old ones, but nothing good comes out – only firecrackers instead of nuclear warheads.
The birthrate in Ukraine continues to fall and the death toll rise, and this, together with the numbers of Ukrainians moving to Russia over the last years, means that this huge country (being the eastern borderlands of Russia) with its lands of considerable natural wealth, are reduced not only by population numbers, but also by the terrible corruption and ongoing war staged by the western oligarchy and military powers of aggression.
That the increased military threat and propaganda attack have seen such a violent surge of growth now truly raises alarm.
Sometimes I’m on the look out for clues as to the behind the scenes political reality, which despite analyses all round, to a certain extent remains hidden. I sense this is more layered, nuanced, and complex than may be realized, or dared to even think of. Who could anyway take in such a panorama all at once, and hold it in the mind and bear it ?
Question for the Saker: Is perhaps the western warning of a russian coup d’etat in Kiev an excuse to provoke/trigger a Ukrainian nationalist counter coup d’etat which WILL be happy to go to war with Russia over Donbass?! It seems to me Ze is not willing to go to war (he only wants to create enough tension to attract (blackmail) more aid and investments from the EU), he said yesterday that Russia is most likely NOT going to invade Ukraine. In the photo above, it seems to me Nato is not very happy with Ze, Nato wants war, Ze wants money.
US empire and its cheerleaders have been against the real spirit of the Olympics for a long time. It was set up in ancient Greece as a time of no warring between the contestants. Yet, for many Olympics the US empire stirs up wars, In the past few it has been against Russian interests. 2008 Summer Olympics- Georgian war on South Ossetia. 2014 Winter Olympics – US coup in KIev. The controlled Worst (former West) MSM pumps war hysteria against Russia itself this Olympics. Thus, the US should be banned from the Olympics according to ancient Greeks. Yet, Russia was banned a few times for nothing much for the past few Olympics.
https://olympics.com/en/featured-news/top-ten-facts-ancient-olympic-games
Prior to the Games, messengers called ‘spondophoroi’ were sent out across the Greek world to announce the Olympic Truce or ‘Ekecheiria’.
Each participating city-state had to sign up to the truce, which meant that no war was permitted and no arms could be carried into Olympia.
This in turn facilitated the safe passage of athletes and spectators travelling to the festival.
Initially, the truce was for one month but it was later extended to three.
A large crowd, combined with a peaceful atmosphere, meant that the Olympics became a perfect opportunity for merchants, artists, and musicians to display their wares and talents.
This is getting attention in what I call the semi-reasonable U.S. media … https://www.state.gov/russias-top-five-persistent-disinformation-narratives/ “Theme #3: “The Collapse of Western Civilization is Imminent”
Without getting bogged down in all of the commentary, my question to the board is this, what did Putin actually say? I did not even notice this subject in the Saker but I could have have overlooked it because of my disinterest.
I am now interested because I suspect that the usual suspects are distorting Putin’s words.
