Marse Robert was correct. I’m a fan of connecting dots in order to discern potential eventualities. Mike Whitney has done an excellent job of posting the dots on the white board for all to see. It seems the Western Powers have all determined to allow Ukraine to fire long range weapons deep into Mother Russia and apparently feel secure that there will be no blow-back. History teaches that to poke the bear results in pain, suffering, and defeat. Putin and Medvedev have warned the warmongers that they will retaliate. If taken to full measure, we’re talking WWIII. Pray it won’t happen, but prepare as if it will.
From the article …
Let’s summarize:
- The long-range precision weapons (missiles) are provided by NATO countries.
- The long-range precision weapons are manned by experts or contractors from the country of origin.
- The long-range precision weapons must be linked to space reconnaissance data provided by the US or NATO.
- The targets in Russia are also provided by space reconnaissance data provided by the US or NATO.
The point that Putin is trying to make is that the long-range missiles are made by NATO, furnished by NATO, operated and launched by NATO contractors, whose targets are selected by NATO experts using space reconnaissance data provided by NATO. In every respect, the prospective firing of long-range precision weapons at targets in Russia, is a NATO-US operation. Thus, there should be no confusion about who is responsible. NATO is responsible which means that NATO is effectively declaring war on Russia. Putin’s lengthy comments merely underscore this critical point.
He (Putin) still thinks that possessing a large cache of nuclear weapons will deter US aggression. But a large cache of nuclear weapons is no deterrent when your opponent is convinced you won’t use them.
Sometimes being reasonable is not the best way to fend off an adversary. Sometimes you have to be a little crazy.
That’s a lesson Putin needs to learn. Fast.
“Pray it won’t happen, but prepare as if it will.”
This is what the rational minded would call for. How many are action or behaving rational? Why be in such a hurry to Burn it all down, even though many believe they see what is on the horizon? Are they afraid to miss out? Are they afraid of not getting that front row seat?
His timing, His ways, i can live with that. Seems to lower my anxiety level and gives me a little more peace!
And no i still vent my frustration quite a bit in the real world, yet i manage to come back to His reality!!
Saw this on Telegram this morning. Good advice.
For a quick moment, imagine you were born in 1900. When you are 14, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday with 22 million people killed. Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until you are 20. Fifty million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million.
When you’re 29, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, global GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 33. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet.
When you’re 41, the United States is fully pulled into WWII. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war and the Holocaust kills six million. At 52, the Korean War starts and five million perish.
At 64 the Vietnam War begins, and it doesn’t end for many years. Four million people die in that conflict. Approaching your 62nd birthday you have the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could well have ended. Great leaders prevented that from happening.
As you turn 75, the Vietnam War finally ends. Think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you survive all of that? A child in 1985 didn’t think their 85 year old grandparent understood how hard school was. Yet those grandparents survived through everything listed above.
Perspective is an amazing thing. With so much going on right now and 2024 just beginning, let’s try to put things in perspective, knowing that we can handle it all. There has never been a storm in world history that has lasted forever. This too shall pass.
Those wars served their purpose in killing off mostly white Christian men. The difference now is technology. Warfare is now global with financial weapons of mass destruction, bioweapons and weather warfare. The people don’t know that they are under attack because they don’t see bombs and foot soldiers.
If we could only awaken everyone and get them to just say NO!
This also aptly demonstrates that the typical state of (collective) human existence is misery, suffering and destruction. And that it never really changes substantially.
I believe you are spot on. I have found that Ukraine has taken out Russia’s low horizon radar in south of the country. USA has a very similar system but this radar scans the skies north towards the north pole. During the cold war this was the direction ballistic missiles would travel from Russia. If Russia would have taken out our early warning radar station during the cold war, oh boy missiles would have launched. I find that temperament among nations are different than shortly after WWII.
Two such radar system hit, not all. It does however make those regions the primary target zone for the US first strike, as we have changed our nuclear doctrine to allow for us to make the first nuke move.
It is the Western globalist elite -- who are responsible for starting the Ukrainian war and have absolute control of NATO -- that desire war with Russia. Why would they desire war with Russia ? Because if they can destroy both the American and Russian white populations, there will be no one left to stop them from establishing their long-cherished dream of a “one-world” totalitarian government exclusively controlled by themselves.
Speaking of Lee, not only was he a great Southern American, a great military officer, a great engineer and a great Christian gentleman; but he was a great prophet of things to come as well.
And sir, a West Point man.
Indeed he was. He graduated 2nd in his class. He was also superintendent of West Point from 1852 until 1855.
The Russian have already warned, that as UK weapons fall on Russia proper, they will launch on Gibraltar and other UK bases. We can likely expect the same fate for Germany and France. Three countries with the most belligerent attitude’s yet can barely muster half a million men in armed forces manpower.
I think someone once said “Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things.”
It is the U.S. and NATO that is responsible for the war in Ukraine. It is the U.S. and NATO that does not want peace with Russia.
If the current situation spins out of control and turns into an all-out nuclear war, which I believe will eventually happen, God and history will judge the U.S. and NATO responsible. And may the leaders of both, the damned evil bastards, burn in eternal hell for what they’ve done.
