Dr. Strangelove is alive and well in the pentagon. Specifically, the U.S. navy, apparently fixated on provoking nuclear World War III with Russia, regardless of president Joe Biden’s duplicitously stated goal of avoiding global incineration. But then, you can’t blame U.S. military sociopaths for not taking Joe “Nuclear Doubletalk” Biden at his word. No sooner does he swear up and down that he will NEVER give a certain weapon to Ukraine, than he turns around and supplies it to them. Any first-class dingbat pentagon warmonger, looking at this abysmal record of about-faces on Patriot defense systems, Abrams tanks, cluster bombs, F-16s and now maybe ATACMS, might well conclude the time is ripe for a show of force, a brazen NATO provocation. And that is exactly what occurred between September 11-15, when the western axis did what it does best – cause trouble – by holding a wargame with Romania, Turkey, France and the U.S. in the Black Sea.
Operation Sea Breeze kicked off on September 11, 2023. According to a U.S. navy press release, “This is a land and sea-based exercise with multinational Allies and Partners, aimed to enhance the capabilities of Black Sea and Partnership for Peace maritime security forces while progressively training and preparing the Ukraine Maritime Command Staff.” Partnership for peace? Ho ho! Never mind that Ukraine’s currently an inferno of war between the country with the world’s most deadly nuclear arsenal, namely Russia and NATO – and I say NATO because, let’s not kid ourselves, without NATO weapons, training and intelligence, Kiev’s military would have folded last year. Never mind that, as the very informed observer Col. Douglas MacGregor remarked, Moscow regards the Black Sea the same way Washington regards the Great Lakes. Skip all that. The geniuses in the pentagon decided now was a great time further to provoke Russia by sending U.S. warships into its back yard.
