If the French are so foolish as to openly deploy in Ukraine, they must be attacked vigorously and continuously, maximizing their casualties. It's the only lesson that will work, apparently.

Macron provokes (following orders) a public panic campaign. Macron sends troops to Ucraine (symbolic contingent). False flag attack at the Paris olympic games (26th July). It was Putin... Bullshit? 4 months to go and the Olympic swimming pool has not started being built yet.

MoD made reference to any foreign troops will be a high priority targets. Doesn't bode well when Mr Kinzhal visits

Smart move to make sure no Russian offensive from the north.

I'm sure Russian military folks can't wait for these troops to come in. Whatever inhibitions the Russians might have against killing Ukrainians will obviously not apply to interventionists, and they will likely want to make a vivid and convincing demonstration to make other "willing" think twice before getting involved. And also to show this little Napoleon it's place.

Great article as always!

My guesses are:

1. Bluff, more than likely.

2. A toehold in Lvov so that France can pretend that they stopped Russia from going on into Europe.

3. French troops in Odessa to try and force negotiations.

Outstanding as always.

Keep your eye on the price of gold. It will tell you a lot about the strength of the US and the Eurozone.

Ukraine is on the path to dividing the country into regions under the control of criminal-nationalist units. Deputy commander of the Azov brigade Sergei Tsisaruk (call sign “Molfar”) proposes to give the brigades the opportunity to mobilize themselves. “The only reliable way to speed up mobilization is to allow the combat brigades to handle this issue themselves. It’s simple, the brigade receives lists from the TRC (territorial recruitment center)and searches for evaders themselves. The fighters of the brigade are much more interested in replenishing the brigade, so bribes will not help,” writes Molfar. He believes that a brigade reconnaissance company will be able to mobilize a hundred people a week - “and these will not be the old guys who are now being brought in, but selected warriors who all this time have been running away from the wounded veterans serving in the TRC.” https://twitter.com/Molfar_4308/status/1769812271046213936

I can only observe that actual American combat soldiers like Big Country Expat and Colonel McGregor, and their many friends have never given the Ukraine the slightest chance of prevailing against the Russian bear. From the beginning they have openly mocked the staff officers and politicians who said otherwise, and of course the lying press...But Simplicius does a wonderful job of providing detailed information about the conflict and the deranged politicians behind it..The sole question remaining is whether the maniacs and idiots running NATO take the rest of us down with them...

Macron says: "Russia is an average power with a nuclear weapon, but whose GDP is much lower than that of Europeans, lower than that of Germany, of France."

Macron is insane. What percentage of France's GDP is debt? Almost 112-percent. Macron talks like only great powers to have debt, can afford great debt. France's national debt is like $3.2-trillion dollars. Russia's national debt is approximately $500-billion dollars, or 17-percent of Russia's GDP is debt.

What happened to the days when a responsible government carried a balanced budget, with very low debt, and being debt free was considered a badge of honor?

But then there's the United States. If you really want to talk crazy, at approximately $32-trillion dollars, the United States total debt accounted for 723.7 % of the country's GDP in 2023. The United States hasn't had a budget since 2000. It has been one continuing resolution (CR) after another.

It all sounds like it is all getting worse to me. Because this is entirely correct isn't it? :

".... Today’s leaders are all totally immorally degraded puppets, likely placed in charge only on the basis of kompromat, and no longer have the necessary professional qualities or discretion of their forebears for the seriousness of the situation. Society, more stupefied by bread and circuses than ever, of course, is blind to their leaders’ total ignorance and dangerous provocations...... "

So disregard 'Society' if it refers to anything like the 'bon ton' because they are exactly the same stuff as the 'leaders', in fact that's where the leaders come from and that's a large part of the problem.

But as for the 'society' that means the hoi polloi then the message is clear: they need to be informed.

As quickly and as clearly and as simply as possible. And as often as possible.

I see no evidence of any campaign towards this end.

I never even see any suggestion that one should be mounted.

Well I think it should. Don't you?

p.s. Should we not give some consideration to the contention that the whole thing is merely the overt manifestation of struggles between what we might call 'mega oligarchs' or the real 'money powers' of the world?

Have we not perhaps seen some things that were that true might indicate they've come to a decision to wind this one down and go elsewhere and start up another one?

I have written it many times- the most critical moment will be when it is certain that the Ukrainians face total defeat- at that moment, our idiot leaders in the West will be sorely tempted to go for broke and commit troops and aircraft. I was born and raised in the Cold War- I will have never been closer to dying in a nuclear conflagration than I will be if NATO decides to actively fight in Ukraine. These idiots seem to want to get us all killed.

The French are about to find out firsthand why it is that they are no longer not only a 'Continental Power'... but also completely irrelevant on the Global Stage. Hundreds of Frenchmen will be blown to Bits in order to garner said 'epiphany,' a Tragedy which will be the beginning of the End for the European chihuahuas & their audacity at claiming to be meaningful & relevant Geopolitical players.

Once again, a Tragedy which should never happen... but at this point, hard to avoid!

All of those euroturds will soon be treating their own citizens like the neonazi zionist are now treating Gazans. Couldn't happen to a better group of people.
