I don't believe that usa corporate media propaganda travels as well as it once did. That they have to make us think that what is is no longer working. BS in BS out. I've thought that Putin won't go nuclear but might go hypersonic while on the phone with whoevere it is that's running the show and point out the fact that the collective west is no longer the baddest gun in town so either the collective west stands down or else... Russia has long been preparing for this. Putin would not have gone and conquered the Donbass w/out knowing that he could. He had to expect sanction from the collective west would come into play and that's why Russia had no US treasuries, very little in dollars and has been buying Gold for like forever. He learned that the CW doesn't abide by any treaty that it signs up for so what we are seeing a war to stop dollar hegemony. US produces weapons for profit while Russia produces weapons for survival same as China The empire is finished but we don't know how it ends.... As for your woman observation, one can't disagree ggersh EDIT: There isn't a word in state media of what went down in Riyadh the past 3 days between Xi and MBS and the agreements made between the 2 countries. -nfg-

BTW, whilst I easily count self amongst the easy-come-easy-go libertarian mob, am having second thoughts, and experiencing trepidation - scratch trepidation, I am frightened am wondering whether it is all a misinformation / alt-inform process by the coalition of the willing to convince the planet that all best do as they do, else deal with alt-people w/ real nukes and genuine nuke wastes if so, working, and well, for I am actually much more than frightened, and I do not frighten easy, and never mind terrify but I skip to petrified Team USA can easily win Cold War 2.0 by putting in place a slate of federal and military officials like Sam. In such an event, even Kim the ex-fat of N Korea shall consider unconditional disarmament and sincere surrender en.wikipedia.org Sam Brinton

am still agnostic, about everything, even as am interested even as am suspecting the anti-ship missiles shall do not very much 700 HIMARS systems are ordered vs. the 20 sent to aid Kyiv, and 3,600 of two kinds of anti-ship missile, more appropriate for the South China than the Black Sea. zerohedge.com New Missile Barrage Pummels Ukraine As Russia Vows US-Made Tanks "Will Burn" Another large wave of Russian airstrikes pummeled Ukrainian energy infrastructure on Thursday, in what's widely being seen as the most immediate response to the day prior announcement from the US and Germany that Abrams and Leopard main battle tanks will be supplied to Ukrainian forces. Ukraine's emergency services have said at least 11 people were killed, and 11 more wounded. Thursday's fresh areal assault included at least two dozen drones, allegedly Iranian-made, launched on southern Ukraine. Ukraine's military said its anti-air defenses intercepted the drones. In the wake of the attack, Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko charged that Russia is seeking to "create a systemic failure in Ukraine's energy system." Central Odesa, via AP "Emergency shutdowns have been introduced. The most difficult situation is currently in the regions of Kyiv, Odesa and Vinnytsia," Galushchenko added. The energy ministry indicated that in the south, in the area of Odesa, "such a situation may last for several days until the damaged power facilities are restored." Moscow said that it will consider the Western tank deliveries as confirming the Western allies' "direct involvement in the conflict." Additionally, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday in response to President Biden’s pledge to send 31 M1 Abrams to Ukraine that the US-made tanks will "burn". Putin weighed in on Germany taking a lead role in convincing Washington to provide tanks... "I am certain that many experts understand the absurdity of this idea. The plan is disastrous in terms of technology," Peskov said. "But above all, it overestimates the potential it will add to the Ukrainian army. These tanks burn just like all the others." All of this comes as the fighting in Donetsk and the south has intensified, with Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Ganna Malyar acknowledging the ratcheting pressure on Ukrainian front line positions. This week Kiev belatedly acknowledged a complete withdrawal of forces from Soledar. Now the focus is on the fight for nearby Bakhmut. "The enemy is throwing a significant number of personnel, weapons and military equipment into the battle, trying to break through our defenses," Malyar said. The Institute for the Study of War has explained that Russia is currently implementing "spoiling attacks across most of the frontline in Ukraine in order to disperse and distract Ukrainian forces." Source: Institute for the Study of War (ISW)*** * *** Alongside the impending tank deliveries, the other big Ukraine development this week concerns dwindling artillery ammo supplies, which interestingly enough directly impacts 'Pentagon readiness' in the South China Sea region, according to US defense planners. Rabobank writes the following... The New York Times tweets: "To keep Ukraine's howitzers firing, the Pentagon will increase its production of 155-mm shells six-fold, to 90,000 rounds per month - raising ammunition production in the US to the highest levels since the Korean War." Moreover, the Washington Post has an editorial about the $858bn Pentagon budget, and how it adopts wartime purchasing practices. In particular, a provision allows the US military to sign "emergency" multiyear, non-competitive agreements to produce munitions, missiles, rockets, and mortars, aimed at cost-saving via bulk buying, two things the Pentagon has failed badly at for years. The Post also notes the budget proposal does far more than that: "It lays the foundation for a vastly revitalised defence industrial base – and does so with one eye on the People’s Republic of China." 25 new mass-assembly lines will soon roll out weapons quantities "far in excess of what is required to replenish Ukraine." 700 HIMARS systems are ordered vs. the 20 sent to aid Kyiv, and 3,600 of two kinds of anti-ship missile, more appropriate for the South China than the Black Sea.

Re <<war>> ask-socrates.com Blog The Russian–Ukrainian war’s conventional character is far from new. In fact, it looks a lot like the last century’s World Wars. While the new aspects of this war have generated discussion within the defense industry as to the evolving character of war, an acknowledgment of the conflict’s conventional character is largely missing from the discourse. Nuclear weapons have actually proved to be ineffective. They no longer present a deterrent when both sides have them. While we have spent untold fortunes on high-tech, the bottom line remains that boots on the ground are still the required deployment. Our models have been targeting January and in many cases February as a Panic Cycle. This has been aligned with geopolitical models. On December 25th, 2022, Putin said he was willing to negotiate with Ukraine and the West on ending the conflict, but insisted it was not his fault talks were not progressing. Neither the US nor Ukraine are interested in any peace talks whatsoever. A decision has been made and World War III is now starting to unfold. Note that in Ukraine we have a Panic Cycle which has now aligned with the 31.4-year target on Ukraine which is April 6th. Gold, which is really a market linked to confidence in government rather than the nonsense of inflation, has traditionally rallied during times of war. Here we have had a Double Monthly Directional Change in January which has helped the rally, but February is the final target with yet another Directional Change. But look further out and the strongest target is June just after our geopolitical targets in April/May. Our sources from Russia are confirming that Putin is being forced to confront that this is a war against Russia by NATO merely using Ukraine as the battering ram. They are preparing Poland for the next sacrificial lamb on this neocon altar that is intent on conquering Russia and they now are lobbying Putin to open his eyes. Putin did come out and declared in December: He continued: "I believe that we are acting in the right direction, we are defending our national interests, the interests of our citizens, our people. And we have no other choice but to protect our citizens." If Putin were to be replaced, it is probably going to be Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russi. He has said the West was supplying enough weapons to Kyiv to "destroy" his country. He made that statement on Telegram. The West is pouring tanks, F16s, you name it into Ukraine for the very purpose of not defending the Donbasm but to launch an invasion into Russia. This is what he is talking about. Before these latest commitments of tanks and F16 and diverting supplies of weapons from South Korea and Israel to Ukraine, the US has already provided Ukraine with TWICE the budget of Germany and nearly 50% of the budget of China. Ukraine has received almost 50% more than Russia has spent. On top of all of this, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov bluntly came out and said that America is not powerful enough to stand up to China and Russia together. The people surrounding Putin are demanding action and their criticism of Put has been that he is too soft. Lavrov came out and said: "As for what is happening in Ukraine, we are talking about the fact that it is no longer a hybrid war, but a real one, the West has been preparing for a long time against Russia, trying to destroy everything Russian that is left in Ukraine. The word is that Russia is coming very close to a Declaration of War. They are calling it a "New Patriotic War" against NATO and vowing that "Victory will be ours, like 1812 and 1945" Since Put has appointed General Valery Gerasimov as commander of the overall campaign in Ukraine, the word is that this was done to prepare for a real war. General Valery Gerasimov, chief of the Russian General Staff, in becoming the overall commander of the campaign, is a signal that Putin has no choice but to look at the reality that this is a war against Russia by NATO. They have now also activated 300,000 reservists, trained, and equipped. Russia is obviously now preparing for the real war. With the West throwing every possible weapons system now into Ukraine to hopefully deal Russia a death blow, the nature of this conflict is changing dramatically. We need to keep an eye on the arrays. That seems to be the most reliable source we have to define when and where.
