The weekend’s standout story comes by way of Edward Luttwak, one of the so-called ‘premier military theorists’ in the West, openly calling for NATO intervention in Ukraine, lest the West suffer a “catastrophic defeat”: Luttwak has been an advisor for U.S. presidents and the U.S. military, as well as other world militaries. He’s also served in the IDF, which could explain his brazen machismo and lack of concern for morality or global safety. Many in the ‘beltway’ consider him a sort of modern Clausewitz, though it seems more like he’s just the military version of constitutional law’s Alan Dershowitz—i.e. a mediocrity elevated to god-like status for racial reasons owing to his valence to Zionist supremacy.
"That means such an action would likely only occur if a coalition of scaredy-cats was formed, and the chances of that are not great.".... Me thinks you watched Wizard of Oz a lot of times. Should do a remake with the "scaredy-cat" euro leaders. As always, brilliant writing.
Off topic, but for lovers of Russian history I highly recommend the writings of Ferdynand Antoni Ossendowski. He was a Pole who lived and worked in Russia from the 1890's thru 1920. His adventures would rival an Indiana Jones movie. He had his own Anabasis as he escaped from the Bolsheviks.
I’m guessing none of the war hawks have ever served in the military nor do their spawn serve. Graham and McConnell point out that it’s not America’s troops who are fighting and dying in Ukraine like Ukrainian lives don’t matter. How callous.
The use of nuclear weapons doesn’t seem to phase enough people anymore. I swear that if we make a through this period there might be hope for humanity….but it’s going to be a close call.
Russia has agents/collaborators everywhere within Ukraine, the recent electricity strikes are evidence of this, as reported by AP, credibilised by the precision and the very few deaths caused
The predictions of the RF turning towards a running an unexpected campaign in tandem with the daily LOC grind may prove to be true
In tandem with this RF campaign to force civilian evacuation of Kharkov, so far denied by the Ukrainian authorities, add in infiltration and sabotage, then seige, to find the way to avoid massive bombing and destruction that were predicted to make impossible Russian conquest of major cities
Linked to this -The Odessa incident March 6 in which a RF missile attack hit a building not far from where Zelensky and the Greek Prime Minister was used as a ‘terrorist’ demonisation by NATO and MSM – in reality was a knock out strike against the NATO Black Sea sea drone team, assembled for a medals presentation from those dignitaries
Since when no more sea drone attacks, despite Ukraine’s further shift to terrorist tactics, and no more Storm Shadow or Scalp attacks
Read in full in annexe – briefly – the RF set up the recent Black Sea attacks to track and trace the drones teams + NATO handlers, to give the Uk a warm sense of victory, in order to encourage slack intelligence and behaviour, and in order to strike at just the moment they were congratulating themselves
This missile attack was variously mis represented by the Western MSM as a dastardly failure of an horrifying attempt to kill Zelensky (and the Greek PM)
NYT « Russia strikes Odessa during visit by Zelensky and Greek leader’ - https://archive.ph/ilDD0
« Russia said its army had launched around 10:40 a.m. local time “a high-precision missile strike on a hangar in the industrial port area of Odesa where preparations were being made for the combat use of unmanned boats of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.” »
In a joint press conference with Mitsotakis following the attack, Zelenskyy said that the Russia did not "care where to hit"[6] and that it had "either gone crazy or they don't control what their terrorist army is doing". Mitsotakis described the incident as "a very intense experience".[2]
A spokesperson for the US National Security Council described the attack as "another reminder of how Russia is continuing to attack Ukraine recklessly every single day and of Ukraine's urgent needs, in particular, for air defense interceptors."[6]
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen condemned the attack, describing it as "vile"[2] and a "new attempt at terror" by Russia.[8]
"Russia’s ensuing campaign of air attacks by missiles, drones, and bombs is now a recognised war crime which, according to the UN, kills an average of 500 to 1,000 civilians a month."
What the hell happened to the UN guardian that they now allow such drivel on their site? Notice how they never link to anything the authors wrote. Are people actually getting paid to write so many lies?
Luttwak has been terribly wrong on a lot of things. However, his book "Grand Strategy of the Roman Empire 1st through 3rd Century" was a fantastic and insightful book.
It is all just more noise designed to bully Russia to the negotiating table.
NATO is not going to put in troops simply because the US will block the move, although it has said european nations can go in outside the NATO umbrella if they want, but none of them 'want', in views ranging from hell, no, to 'not just me on my ownsome'. or even 'here I come..... but not quite yet', There will be lots of posturing, war games, and troop and materiel movements within NATO borders, a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing, as the Russians know.
Russia meanwhile will continue doing what it is doing, and if european troops do go in, Russia has already said it will target them. NATO is not capable of mounting such an operation, and one thing worse than allowing Russia the victory that it will take unilaterally and simply negotiating the fine details of that, giving NATO a semblance of power, is actually going down to a catastrophic military defeat, which it will. Look at Afghanistan. NATO troops are no magic wand, and no one is going to be launching any nuclear strike with impunity, so it will be conventional flesh and blood warfare fought by conscripts from western nations put into the front lines or bombed in their tents because old europe is not about to risk losing chunks of London, Paris and Berlin to long range missile responses from Russia.
No western leaders including those wannabes wanting to take their seats, want to find out what that will mean for them.
China has some equally interesting hardware all of whose secrets, I assume, Beijing has shared with Moscow.
My assumption is based on the fact that, when Russia sold those S-400 systems to China in 2019, it included all the IP. Looks like the two are really, really tight.
And I notice the DPRK's arsenal is improving at an astonishing rate!
I think the reality that all the "policymakers" and "leaders" seem to be missing about these NATO contingents that are supposedly going to be sent to Ukraine is how inconsequential they will be in concrete operational terms. NATO armies are tiny. Britian: 75k. France: 120k. Norway: not even 10,000. Their actual deployable forces are going to be a small fraction of the whole. And there is no way they will send all of their deployable forces. Let us be generous.
Let us say these countries somehow muster a force of 20,000 logistics troops to send to Ukraine. And let us say that they can actually mobilize and deploy them rapidly. Wonderful. So a whopping 20k Ukrainians can be retrained and transferred to the front. How long is the retraining going to take? Presumably a month or perhaps more. The front lines have already degraded even further by that point. So, 20k more troops are inserted on a badly degraded front right as summer campaigning season is kicking off. Casualty rates are skyrocketing. How long does 20k men last? At most they buy Ukraine another month. At most.
In reality, the NATO contingents will be much smaller. In reality the NATO contingents will arrive in dribs and drabs. In reality, the Ukrainian rear-area troops will receive zero training. In reality these NATO contingents do nothing for Ukraine. In reality, these NATO contingents only serve to make the eventual defeat in Ukraine all the more resounding and its consequences all the more dire for NATO and Europe.
I invite you to connect the 'dots' between SMO UKR and Israhell / Iran WWIII.
The Destroyers Of The World
“We Jews, we, the destroyers, will remain the destroyers forever.” – Maurice Samuel
Bolshevik Revolution: The Jewish Bolsheviks, who took over the Russian government in the 1910s, killed 66 million Christians, including 200,000 members of the Christian clergy, and destroyed 40,000 churches.
World War 1: Britain was losing the war against Germany. The Zionists stepped in and manipulated President Wilson to get the US into the war to help them. In return, the Jews asked the British Empire to deed them Palestine to create Israel. Their wish was granted in the form of the Balfour Declaration of 1917, which cost the world 18 million dead.
World War 2: The Zionists fomented that war (just like they’re doing today with Iran and other countries in the Middle East), so that European Jews could feel threatened. The deception worked as European Jews fled in droves to Palestine and took over the homes of Palestinians, who were evicted at gunpoint and then either massacred or driven out of their land into neighboring Arab countries. With enough Jews on the ground, Israel was created in 1948 at a cost of 80 million dead.
World War On Terror: Jewish neocons, in cahoots with their bought-and-paid-for politicians in the US government, perpetrated their act of terrorism on 9/11. Then they conveniently blamed it on Muslims so as to obtain a green light to destroy the Middle East using the armies of the US and NATO and the terrorist groups they finance, with the ultimate view to creating Greater Israel. So far, the death toll is 27 million, including Christians.
World War 3: With Russia protecting Syria and Iran from Israel’s Machiavellian design, will the Zionists succeed in bringing the world once again to the brink of disaster to create Greater Israel? If they do, will it instead bring about their downfall?
Sequitur: As befitting the deceivers and murderers that they are, the Zionist VICTIMIZERS of the world shamelessly camouflage themselves as VICTIMS, with Israel, their monstrous spawn, carrying on their blood-filled legacy. Indeed, apartheid Israel is a scourge, a cancer that needs to be dealt with.

Macron called for a cease-fire in Ukraine. Here's what Putin replied above.

He’s Jewish.
I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked.
Why do these Zionists seem hellbent on starting WW3 and killing everything and everybody?
They’re the psychotic serial killers of mankind.

Most modern nuclear weapons moved to fission-fusion-fission to avoid neutron kills
This was spurred on by the US genie nuclear AAM
Whether France has these in stock is dubious tho
