It feels like today’s world is spinning quickly out of control. Fear of nuclear confrontation between Russia and NATO has increased to a fever pitch and something worse than anything seen even amidst the dark years of the Cold War has awoken. Click for Full Text!

I believe the Ukraine situation will be post-war sometime in 2023. This contradicts the recent words of the NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg and last year’s statements by US CJCS General Mark Milley. The recent Judge Napolitano interview with Scott Ritter is invaluable. Ritter, who has studied this situation in depth, and US warfighting and war-making for decades, explains that the war should be finished as early as August 2023. Interestingly, he notes that both Zelensky and General Zaluzhnyi have made similar projections. Click for Full Text!
After months of obnoxious pro-Ukraine jingoistic war propaganda, Welt suddenly admits to its centre-right audience that it's "essentially impossible for Ukraine to win"

Since the war in Ukraine began in February last year, Welt has relentlessly funnelled jingoistic Anglosphere war propaganda to its centre-right German readership. They reprinted this pro-Azov Battalion editorial complete with National Socialist symbols; they achieved a kind of ecstatic climax during the counteroffensive last September, when they announced that a turning point was at hand; and they have been among those predicting that Russia is on the verge of running out of missiles and artillery shells any moment now.

War Is a Racket… Tanks a Lot, Now Give Us F-16s!

No sooner had the United States, Germany and other NATO powers announced the major release of main battlefield tanks for Ukraine, the Kiev regime immediately started demanding the supply of American-made F-16 warplanes. The attitude is incorrigible. Chutzpah on steroids, or perhaps cocaine. Click for Full Text!

Japan, this year’s chair of the Group of Seven (G-7), anticipates the Russia-Ukraine crisis to feature heavily in talks among the world’s major advanced economies, its top finance diplomat declared. “Sanctions against Russia and support for Ukraine will be a top priority at G-7 financial leaders’ meetings under Japan’s chair,” said Masato Kanda, who will supervise G-7 deputy-level talks on economic policy this year.

As today dawned, I was looking out the window into the cold grayness with small patches of snow littering the frozen ground. As light snow began to fall, I felt a deep mourning in my soul as a memory came to me of another snowy day in 1972 when I awoke to news of Richard Nixon’s savage Christmas bombing of North Vietnam with more than a hundred B-52 bombers, in wave after wave, dropping death and destruction on Hanoi and other parts of North Vietnam. I thought of the war the United States is now waging against Russia via Ukraine and how, as during the U.S. war against Vietnam, few Americans seem to care until it becomes too late. It depressed me. Soon after I was greeted by an ...

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock bluntly stated in fresh remarks that Western allies are fighting a war against Russia. The remarks came during a debate at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) on Tuesday amid discussions over sending Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. While Baerbock’s words were largely ignored in mainstream media, a number of pundits on social media noted with alarm that the German foreign minister just essentially declared war on Russia.

U.S. Sending Abrams Tanks to Defend Ukraine

President Biden announced Wednesday that the United States will be sending 31 M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, the equivalent of one Ukrainian battalion, to assist their forces in defending the territory they hold and to prepare for additional counteroffensives. The decision is a reversal for top U.S. officials, and is tied to Germany agreeing to send its Leopard 2 tanks to the country. The U.S. is also providing 500 armored vehicles in addition to the tanks, as part of the support package. Biden shared, “Together with our Allies and partners, we’ve sent more than 3,000 armored vehicles, more than 8,000 [800] artillery systems, more than 2 million rounds of artillery ammunition, and ...

For the first time, Finland floated the possibility of distancing its North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) application from that of Sweden, after its neighbor faced fresh opposition from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The notion broached by Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto, if it materializes, would signal a major shift in Finnish policy since the Nordic nations jointly applied to join NATO in May 2022.

The US Treasury Department placed Wagner Group, the Russian mercenary company, and several of its affiliates on a blacklist. The move comes as the mercenary force helps the Kremlin capture key cities in eastern Ukraine. The Treasury stated the sanctions would “degrade the Russian Federation’s capacity to wage war against Ukraine.” Eight individuals and 16 entities, as well as four aircraft were placed on a blacklist. Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen said, “today’s expanded sanctions on Wagner, as well as new sanctions on their associates and other companies enabling the Russian military complex, will further impede Putin’s ability to arm and equip his ...

In South Africa on Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the conflict in Ukraine is no longer a “hybrid war” between Russia and the West but is turning into a “real war.” At a press conference with his South African counterpart, Lavrov said the Western had been preparing a “war” against Russia for a long time. He claimed the goal was “to destroy everything Russian, from language to culture, that has been in Ukraine for centuries and to prohibit people from speaking their mother tongue.” Click for Full Text!
Pentagon to Increase Artillery Ammunition Production by 500% for Ukraine

The Pentagon is planning to boost its production of artillery ammunition by 500% over the next two years as the US is depleting its military stockpiles by sending millions of shells to Ukraine, The New York Times reported Tuesday. Since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine, the US has pledged to send Ukraine over one million 155mm artillery shells. Before the US Army began efforts to increase production, it produced 14,400 155mm shells a month, but under the new plans, the number could reach over 90,000 each month. Click for Full Text!
Mission Creep? How the US role in Ukraine has slowly escalated

When the United States involves itself militarily in a conflict, it often finds it hard to get itself out, let alone avoid deep entanglements that blow well past lines it had drawn at the start of the intervention. It happened in Vietnam, when U.S. military advisers helping the South Vietnamese fight Viet Cong eventually became U.S. soldiers fighting an American war. It happened in Afghanistan, when an initial invasion to capture al-Qaida and overthrow the Taliban morphed into a nearly two- decade-long nation-building project. And it could be happening right now in Ukraine. Click for Full Text!

A US military base in southern Syria was targeted in a drone attack on Friday that wounded two members of a US-backed militia. US Central Command said the base at Al-Tanf was attacked by three “one-way attack drones.” CENTCOM said two of the drones were shot down, but one hit the compound, injuring two members of the Syrian Free Army, a group the US backed in its failed regime change effort against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

The Pentagon has decided to extend a troop deployment in southeast Romania, which is part of the US military buildup in Eastern Europe that was ordered around the time Russia invaded Ukraine. The US currently has about 4,000 members of the US Army’s 101st Airborne Division based out of the Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base near the Romanian city of Constanta on the Black Sea. The New York Times said the base is just “a seven-minute rocket flight across the Black Sea from where Russian forces have settled in Crimea.” Click for Full Text!

“People underestimate how much resistance to imperial edicts out of DC there is, they underestimate how many people are waiting for the fall, but they also misunderstand that this resistance is taking a muscular but passive form.” — Deep South SR on Twitter Of course, the “Joe Biden” classified document scandal is less about the documents per se than it is about the Biden family business, which was taking large sums of money from shady foreign interests for unspecified services rendered. “Joe Biden,” the brand, is owned, perhaps to the degree that he can be called “a sell-out.” Selling out your country is kind of serious.

Is a Real War about to Break Out in Ukraine?

As readers know, I am a critic of Putin’s “limited military operation” in Ukraine. It was eight years late, and its limited objective is unrealistic. Putin needed to occupy Kiev the minute he saw the US coup unfolding. Failing this, he needed to reincorporate Donbass in 2014 prior to its partial occupation by neo-Nazi militias and Ukrainian military. He failed to act in a timely fashion because he was deceived by the West with the Minsk Agreement, which was a delaying tactic to keep Russia at bay until the US had built and equipped a Ukrainian Army. I understand why the Kremlin limited its intervention last February to clearing the Independent Donbass Republics of Ukrainian ...
