Most of our cold war leadership is gone. We have before us a vacuum of competent leadership, who understand how Russia thinks. Those in charge and at play are feckless, clueless about cold war, post cold War geopolitics. This is extremely dangerous. A compromised POTUS complicates this cluster fuck even further.
When I sat down on Sunday as I normally do to go through the previous week's emails and to sort the "blogables" and "honourable mentions," I ran across this very interesting email (and article) from W.G., and the header of the email said "Is Natostan cracking?" I thought that was such a good headliner I read the article he sent along with it, and it's one of those "quiet but important" articles because it foretells a world of geopolitical mischief, and the financial instability that goes with it. If you're looking for geopolitical or political reasons for the "great crypto-crash of '22" (see last Monday's blog), this may be it:
Now I grant you, trying to figure out exactly what it going on in this war in the Ukraine is difficult. Both parties to the conflict, Russia and the West, have ramped up the propaganda efforts tremendously, though in my opinion, the propaganda efforts seem much more intense on the part of the west.
To read some of the speculations going around on the internet, Russia's on her last legs, Mr. Putin is undeniably sick, and a coup could topple him any minute now. There are even similar rumours about Mr. Xi suffering brain aneurisms and about to be toppled, &c &c.
But the article above paints a rather different picture. Consider its 8 points:
The Ukraine is actually losing the military conflict;
The West is losing the financial war and the sanctions regime is backfiring;
In fact, the sanctions are dividing Europe and could fracture NATO;
The Russians finally answered the phone when US Secretary of Defense Austin called, and apparently talked to his Russian counterpart, Sergei Shoigu, about a ceasefire. (Translation: we're losing, so we'd better start negotiations now before our position gets worse);
South Ossetia will hold a referendum on whether or not to join the Russian Federation (they'd be stupid not to);
Italy in the form of its Bankster in chief, Mario Draghi, wants Bidenenko to call Mr Putin to "give peace a chance" (apparently the phone call from Mr. Austin, while answered, didn't produce the desired results);
French President Macron, another Bankster who once worked for the Rottenchilds, urged his Ukrainian counter-part Zelensky to "give up some Ukrainian sovereignty" in order to make a peace deal possible; and finally,
The United States is not strong enough to fight a two front war, one against Russia, and the other against China.
In other words, NATOstan is cracking, and all the flying buttresses that the Western media are trying to construct to prop up the narrative before it comes crashing down simply aren't working.
But I want to concentrate on the 6th and 7th points above, the pleas of the two banksters-in-chief in Italy and France. There is a school of thought out there on the internet right now that the whole Ukrainian mess is proceeding exactly according to the wishes of Ernst Stavro Blohschwab and his cronies at SPECTRE...er... at the World Economic Forum, the "Davos crowd." I'll grant that the idea has some appeal, it even has that "Madrid Circular" feel to it that I talked about in my book The Third Way.
If you don't know what the Madrid Circular is, very briefly, it was a memorandum of understanding circulated among the post-war Nazi International both in Europe and in Latin America, about how the East-West tensions of the time were a good thing, because it gave the Nazis maneuvering room in Europe.
If you've ever seen the movie version of Tom Clancy's novel, The Sum of All Fears, the movie is predicated on an "update" to the idea behind the Madrid Circular: created a war between the USA and Russia, and allow Europe to sit it out, then claim its "rightful position in the sun" (with Germany at the helm, of course), after the two countries tear each other apart. If that reading seems far-fetched, remember that it was a stated goal at the outset of Russia's special military operation to "de-nazify" the Kiev regime.
But there's two massive horse flies in that ointment, Mr. Draghi, and M. Macron. Stop and consider that both men represent the banking interests; for both men to be signaling that it's time for the Ukraine to get out of this war by giving up a little of its sovereignty is a signal that not all is one big happy cabal inside of SPECTRE and the Davos set.
There is a real conflict of visions, and a real attempt to pull back from what could quickly become a disaster for all of Europe. It's worth remembering that these same countries were, a few years ago, ready to expand NATO and the EU into the Ukraine, where that country would have lost much more sovereignty than it may now lose to Russia. And if that's the case, it's a measure of just how badly things are going over there. It's a measure of why the British are talking about expanding NATO to a global size.
Or to put it country simple: the leadership class of the entire west simply has no clue on how to get out of what it has started. And there's a certain faction, as we all know, that would like the mess to continue as long as possible.
After all, the Ukraine has proven to be quite a test bed for corruption, money-laundering (where are all those weapons really going?), human trafficking, bio-warfare experimentation... you name it.
Nato is, and always was, basically the US pulling the freight. By extension, though, Nato expansion next to Russia is basically US expansion next to Russia. Nato is (maybe) cracking because the US is so weak.
This is silly.
So, just because some barking dog is injured and on its last legs of life, does not mean it cannot cause some damage.
To ignore all the activity in ukraine building up against Russia would be stupid.
In December when Russia presented the documents to nato and usa, they told Russia to fuck off, and immediately began to load even more junky old weapons onto ukraine.
The planning of the donbass was what triggered the Russians, coupled with the veneer thin nuclear threats, enough is enough.
Uhm no. The EU is different to Nato. Nato however isn't fracturing if it's gaining new members. It is selling more arms and partnerships. While the EU pays for it. This is where it gets ironic. See the EU makes trade deals. But Nato cuts out their bullshit. Although American and British brands might not be in European shops. All that security and infrastructure and military are happily moving back and forth increasingly committed to any Nato partnerships, selling its other brands.
Ukraine who cares, it's done the above in any event. When Europe was less keen on trade deals, and more committed to who knows what their activists wanted. They get something else.
Military still needs gas and oil. You dumb EVs. If it's not Russian, where are they buying from.
As well as possibly a few others. Who knows. It's just bartering. What do they get. Never the EU potties. Because Swedish SJWS aren't their crown. Although, Turkey has other concerns.
Regardless Ukraine was simply a catalyst. The way things are shaping it's Wildfire. Inflation soaring, drums beating. Who knows how the deck plays and where the chips fall. If it settles, or provokes. What policy comes out of it. Although any citizens are paying more for it. They are often pawns simply aligning.
But this other article is conjecture. Laughably, inate, contrary opposing propaganda flinging mud and hoping it sticks.
It isn't like that and not to those who hold the deck of playing cards.
Go on, and convince otherwise. The EU won't buckle apart. It just entrenched Nato, if it does, it goes to conflict, or simply realigns. Besides they're greasing Opec, and releasing Venezuela. And it'll probably backfire. Who fully knows what becomes of this, except it won't get better. Not today.
Agreed about Turkey's other concerns. Historically, Russia and Turkey were adversaries over the Black Sea. I don't think that's the case anymore, and they are more like minded culturally anyway, at least now. Turkey, despite being part of Nato, didn't let the US do a whole host of things, like stage troops, when it came to Afghanistan.
Adversaries. Turkey holds the Bosphorus straight. Russia most of the Black Sea. Historically. Opening the straight means everybody else gets through. No wonder Ukraine wants its coastline. Tell me who are Turkey arming?
There are a host of the grievances Turkey has had, increasing recently. But they're still in Nato. If they aren't, there is much bigger problems. But until then, you're offering a lot more conjecture. Price. Look at that inflation. Tell me what fixes it? Bartering correct?
Turkish drones are being supplied to the Ukraine by the drove. The same Turkish drones being supplied in the Azerbaijan Armenia conflict. Not as good as American counterparts but still active on the battlefield.
Few key things. Didn't Turkey prevent the Russian Northern Fleet passing through the Bosphorus, in this Ukraine conflict. Wasn't a Russian ambassador to Turkey assassinated in Turkey? Tell me about Turkish involvement in Syria, isn't it also fighting pro Assad forces as well as any Kurds? Of course there are a few more opposing considerations.
Because there's a bunch of games within games and sides playing on the fence. It's called not miscalculating, or getting what you want.
But alignment is often where the money flows. It means what today? What does it mean? Art of negotiation, or the winner's strength. What strength is there in hyperinflation. Does it force alignment. Or does it protest it? No what. Because the only guarantee is that it doesn't get easier today.
Who knows who cares, but this article reeks of wishful propaganda. It isn't very accurate. The only certainty is that there will be escalation.
nato is finished. An obviously corrupted organization built upon lies and fantasy, Ukraine has been used since the formation of nato and the 75 years building into it, didn't count for anything, place is getting wrecked.
Running mostly old hardware that noone can afford to replace, each nation force merged into nato has much more important shit to spend money on than the fantasy that we must protect against the red coast commies.
The ukranian situation is 100% the doing of the west as the evidence shows. So, this is the destruction of nato, they will not survive this encounter.
Can you stop and use your dumb brain. Instead of wishful fantasies. All you're spewing are the emotions of ill informed and the deranged.
NATO isn't finished without war. It is becoming entrenched. More nations want to join it. It means exactly what? It's finished? No. Quite the opposite. It is stronger now than it was prior.
Ukrainian situation has caused increasing problems for Europe. But who cares about Ukraine. I am being harsh. Not really. Russia does even more. It was catalyst that prompted an agenda. An agenda of developing technology, energy, and a host of other concerns like security, supply lines. It further cements Nato back into the field. Look how that worked. Nato is now trading right through the EU binding it. It has its old foe. They're rallying.
The problem becomes when its citizens can't pay. Then what happens? But Nato doesn't go anywhere.
Well, since you want to revert to name calling based on your own irrational fears and illogical fallacies..
Your entire comment reveals your simple mental perspective on the issue.
First of all, nato was formed to combat Russia, cia also, ukraine has been the center of any activity on this front for the past 75 years. You cannot ignore the facts.
usa has spent billions with n.e.d. and us aid over the years infiltrating ukraine creating little brainless enemies just like you.
So, modern warfare, is primarily Rockets and Air defense. Pretty much everything else is for after.
So, let me know when nato has some rockets that can breach the Russian air defense and we can speak.
The frontline of ww3 is most likely active right now and is in Syria. This ukraine scuffle is Russia slapping the shit out of ukraine, while nato countries piss themselves with fear about what will happen when Russia begins sending salvo to the nato military infrastructure across europe, what they gonna do? send jets? :)
Not sure how you think this unfolds, but I suspect you are way off.
I call out comments that are insane. You're obviously emotionally challenged.
First of all who cares. I don't. Ukraine means nothing to me. You obviously care even more. Fetch. I simply challenged the topic. All of sudden you're crying about it. That's insane, right.
No Ukraine hasn't been anything else for 75 years. It changed about 10 odd years ago. Prior, yawn, that's hearsay. 75 years ago the CIA fermented a coup today. Let it brew, for the correct vintage. No, you're doing the CIA's job. That's some manoeuvring, 75 years ago, Ukraine has a coup today. How much money did it cost in the last 75 years? But suddenly a few billion today costs more than it did for last 75 years? Emotionally insane. It's like the aliens ate your brains.
Nato has ICBMs. These can breach Russian defenses. It has far more stealth fighters carrying them. It has more ships, and subs. It has far more combined troops. It has far better coms, satellites, and infrastructure. It is developing hypersonic, but any smart cruise missiles also come in stealthed, or they're fired from stealth drones and stealth planes, and as the former treaty with Russia was withdrawn, they can even equip cruise with nuke tips if needed. America's hypersonic tests are a success. Same with many other experiments like with lasers, and plasma. Watch that tech hit Nato as quickly. Defenses it has anti missile defense, these are supposedly better than their counterparts. Although nothing stops everything. But Nato has a linked Sat network covering all of Europe for early warning detection and counter attacks.
Hence there is this war. Let's all hope it doesn't become a larger conflict.
I made a comment. I expected clever, and not whatever you are.
lol, who is crying you blithering idiot? hahah, shit like I give a fuck when some stupid crackhead starts beaking off about stupid fantasies, I didn't even completely read your drivel. you are clearly as stupid as the stuff you write.
something about your fantasies about how great your sissified forces are in the world of modern warfare, good luck with the stealth good luck with your slow ass icbm, you really have no fucking clue about anything at all.
You're so up your asshole, it's coming right out of your mouth.
I rarely enter a topic to agree with it. Because that's what idiots do. Either I enter to make a joke, or too challenge it. If I agree, I upvote it. It doesn't need me saying much more, unless I am questioning something else in it, or further adding more too it.
You however open up your mouth and swallow. No wonder you wallow in it. Then you had to go and get all petty about it. Literally crying to me about it, like that emotionally challenged kid, how it's so unfair that nobody else understands you, and you'd better attack them for not understanding you, wahaaa. You didn't make sense earlier, please go back and read what you typed. Look, you've shat your asshole out of your mouth, and it stinks. It all stems psychologically from believing in the bullshit.
lol, you really did get a chuckle this time you are so full of your own shit, talking to me about shit you know absolutely nothing about, spewing regular moronic talking points like you have a clue, you are just a vitriolic mouthpiece shit for brains, you really are not even worth this message.
Look at the dumb shit you write? you are 100% liberal trash are you not?
Look at your reaction to my statements about your imaginary force.
You are pretty simple and predictable, run out of statements about your imaginary fairy force, know that your shitty stealth is useless in the face of real radar gear, know that your shitty slow ass icbm will not get anywhere useful.
dismantle nato completely . does nothing but cause issues on the whole continent of eurasia.
Most of our cold war leadership is gone. We have before us a vacuum of competent leadership, who understand how Russia thinks.

The Globalist Cabal Starts Retreating On Ukraine and Asks For Negotiations!
The Ukraine is actually losing the military conflict;
The West is losing the financial war and the sanctions regime is backfiring;
In fact, the sanctions are dividing Europe and could fracture NATO;
The Russians finally answered the phone when US Secretary of Defense Austin called, and apparently talked to his Russian counterpart, Sergei Shoigu, about a ceasefire. (Translation: we're losing, so we'd better start negotiations now before our position gets worse);

French President Macron, another Bankster who once worked for the Rottenchilds, urged his Ukrainian counter-part Zelensky to "give up some Ukrainian sovereignty" in order to make a peace deal possible; and finally,
The United States is not strong enough to fight a two front war, one against Russia, and the other against China.
Nato is, and always was, basically the US pulling the freight. By extension, though, Nato expansion next to Russia is basically US expansion next to Russia. Nato is (maybe) cracking because the US is so weak.

Let's see. Turkey may use its veto to prevent those nordic countries from entering Nato.
As well as possibly a few others. Who knows. It's just bartering. What do they get. Never the EU potties. Because Swedish SJWS aren't their crown. Although, Turkey has other concerns.
