We all heard the tough talk from President Putin during his press conference yesterday in Astana, Kazakhstan. From his warnings, many Western journalists expected an imminent attack on Kiev using the new Oreshkin hypersonic missile to atomize both civilian decision-making and military command and control centers. There was also speculation in mainstream and in alternative media that Russia might strike one or another military target in a NATO country such as Poland, home to the latest Aegis Onshore missile launch site directed against Russia. However, this evening’s edition of the news and analysis program The Great Game on Russia’s Pervy Kanal suggests Moscow is satisfied that its warnings against further use of American, French and British missiles to strike deep into Russian territory have finally been heard in Washington, London and Paris. Accordingly, it will not attack Kiev until and unless there are new Ukrainian attacks using ATACMS, Storm Shadow or Scalp. gilbertdoctorow.com Russia's electric grid campaign reaching end state Negotiating to prevent the US from losing its military dominance in Europe, and to conserve the forces and weapon supplies “needed in other conflicts, especially if China invades Taiwan” are Kellogg’s running orders from Trump. Russian sources say that reviving the Reagan Administration’s “Star Wars” weapons systems to combat Russia’s Kinzhal and Oreshnik missile advantage is the unstated “geo-strategic” priority, not only of Kellogg but of others in the Trump administration. They believe Elon Musk will lobby the president to make himself “chief US rocketeer to get a trillion-dollar contract to build missiles to counter us. But if they want a new arms race, they are already trailing. They will lose in space what they’ve already lost on the ground.” According to a US veteran of the Afghanistan War, the career military experience Kellogg brings to his new job is “losing, not winning on the battlefield. He’s a typical empire enforcer. The last time Kellogg fought a competent military force, it was the Vietnamese, and Kellogg lost. For Trump to pick a man whose military victories are the invasion of Panama, the defeat of Iraq in Gulf War-1, and running a nuclear war bunker with Paul Wolfowitz during 9/11, tells you that it’s lights-out in the minds of both the soldier and his commander.” johnhelmer.net
