I think you’re more sensible than I have been lately. There’s no denying that the Biden administration is looking like a burning Cybertruck gone rogue headed for the cliff of catastrophe – what a perfect Viking funeral that would be for old Creepy Uncle Joe!
But you pay attention to President Putin’s icy demeanour. Good call! Moscow, not Washington, has got several possible ways to Checkmate here and it’s Moscow’s move.
I’d say Mr Putin seems not so much calm and serene as menacing, but quietly menacing in the way a mile high sheer wall of ice-covered basalt mountain-side is menacing. More like, “You boys don’t want to even start. This is for your own safety. Trust me.”
“Just thought I’d mention it. We’ve got a new missile, comes in at Mach 10, no way to defend against it. We are going to use it on targets of our choosing. At the times and places of our choosing. Just thought I’d put that out there. Know what I mean? Word to the wise guys?”
I’m old enough to personally remember Nikita Khrushchev on b&w TV banging his shoe on the table and shouting in front of the UNSC about the threat from America. I picture old Nikita having a laugh or two with John F. Kennedy as they look down upon young Vlad and thumbs-up his cool style.
I’ve concentrated on the potential for runaway escalation to nuclear armageddon implicated by Joe Biden’s string-holders giving Zelensky “permission” to use ATACMS missiles to strike deep into Russia. Doug MacGregor and Scott Ritter are even more alarmed than most people and they certainly have the credentials and the contacts and friends within the US military to know what they are talking about.

<< TRUMP AND THE STORM OF THE CENTURY

<< (The American Conservative) — The fear in many nations’ capitals is that President Donald Trump’s return to Washington might make Israel feel more confident in attacking Iran. According to Mike Evans, founder of the Friends of Zion Museum in Jerusalem, “There is no world leader Trump respects more than Netanyahu.
<< ”The evangelical leader also confides that President Trump would support an Israeli attack before his inauguration on the assumption that the destruction of Iran’s oil production facilities would devastate Iran’s economy, inducing Iran to end the war with Israel before President Trump assumes his office. This thinking by no means excludes an Israeli decision to strike Iran’s nuclear development sites as well… >>
Oh? He “confides”, does he? Like Christian Zionists are going to be so trusted in Jerusalem that they’ll be told the score?
LtCol Karen Kwiatkowski ( with Judge Napolitano’s Judging Freedom “Who Can Stop Netanyahu?"-YouTube) has some hope that Trump is not in fact the tool of Neocons or Christian Zionists or any war mongers.
She opines that by authorizing ATACMS missiles targeted on Russia, Biden "has created targets", namely all US personnel potentially everywhere. She suggests that the decision to let the Ukrainians strike deep with ATACMS is just a way to spend all the billions authorized, and waste it, before Trump is inaugurated.
She also opines that this is basically toddler-like vindictiveness on the part of Blinken and the rest. Does Biden make these decisions? "His mouth is moving" and that's the most one can say. "Where is the desire we have that nuclear weapons never be used again?" Nowhere in their estimation! "They don't care about Americans... I think this is why this administration has been tossed out."... "This 7 billion, half of it, more than half, will line the pockets of ... lobbyists...".
Is Bibi really respected by Trump? Or is he seen as a loser who needs to be cut loose before he fucks up the whole business?
Karen: "Bibi is on his last legs ... possibly the end of the Zionist state [is soon] ... Trump does not align himself with the weak... [Christian Zionists] are even less trusted by the Israelis than Jewish critics". They are not increasing in political power. "Trump is throwing Israel the poisoned bones". Not even the most ardent Christian Zionists or US officials of any stripe can be trusted or will be trusted by Israel unless the Israelis have "bought them or have something on them."
The distinction is that in former years Israel had real friends in Washington and now they don't. They have stooges (and they also have ignorant people looking through rose coloured glasses like my Canadian former friends] and that's a big difference. They won't even talk with Christian Zionists sent into Jerusalem thinking that Israel is our ally. "Israel is not our ally and is not our friend."
Alexander Mercouris mentioned an incident that has excited little comment so far. The American military operators of the UK-made Storm Shadow cruise missiles which are in diminishing supply in Kiev’s arsenal have sent 12 of these vaunted long-range weapons to bombard a small insignificant village in Kursk region yesterday.
Is somebody up there in the US military deciding to waste as many of these weapons as they can so that the nutcases who run Zelensky will not have any left with which to make the Russian bear angry?
Post Script: Putin announced that Russian forces had field tested this new hypersonic multiple warhead, Mach 10, system just today on a target in Dneipropetrovsk. Sure enough, video is now broadcasting all over the world-wide-web of these warheads coming in faster than the eye can follow. Zap, zap, zap...
I have just finished listening to the RT interview with a former US military man, Stanislav Krapivnik. He presented what seems to be a practical, nuts and bolts analysis of the Russian hypersonic intermediate range missile and a comparative analysis of how the HIMARS and ATACMS and Storm Shadow strikes on Russia are conducted. It seemed factual and reasonable to me. What I noticed was that he strongly emphasized as no one else has done that all these systems are managed by the US military (and vassal military personnel) every step of the way from command through button pushing on the front lines.
But here's where I will shout out something vital to understand, and difficult to get through our heads: Krapivnik said US "mercs" command and direct and fire these missiles. Mercenaries. Hirelings and "former agents". Agents of what? The CIA. In that case they have no right to call themselves American military because they are NOT CHAIN-OF-COMMAND.
They are in the same army that blew up Nord Stream and now they threaten the entire existence of humanity. They are not the USA. The "Biden administration" is like a body taken over by an evil spirit which has no other bodily way to exercise practical authority over the living. Larry Johnson (also interviewed today by RT) wonders aloud if the "Biden administration" is trying to cause such a war as will justify the martial law suspension of the US Constitution to prevent Trump from taking office on Jan 20/25.
I am reminded of the sad letter penned by President Lincoln in late 1864 when he feared that McClellan would be elected. He wrote that "this administration" will be duty bound "to so co-operate with the new administration as to save the union between the election and the inauguration as he will have made such promises that he will be unable to save it afterwards."
What an epic horror! Truly we have been in a new American Civil War. Biden is the satanic reversal of Lincoln. The Biden administration is determined to destroy the USA and the world before the new inauguration because they fear that they will be unable to destroy it after Jan 20/25.
What’s your view on the NATO secretary general’s call to adopt a wartime mindset and increase defence spending to prepare for “what is coming our way in four to five years”?
