Intentional Belligerence

Unintentional Consequences.....

Welcome my dear readers, and while I hope I am wrong, I believe that as you read this we are on the brink of the total annihilation of the world as we know it.  I have written before about how the Russian-Ukraine war is much more complicated and nuanced than anything reported in the West (here).  I have written why I think Russia isn’t now, and never has been, losing the war (here).  I have also written about why the sanctions placed on Russia were\are the best thing to ever happen to Putin since he took office (here).  The fact is, Russia sees the expansion of NATO, American-backed regime change in Ukraine, and the ever tightening ring of military installations on its border as an existential threat by an enemy that will be satisfied by nothing short of the total domination of Russia and its reduction to vassal state status, like most of the rest of Europe.  Sadly, Russia isn’t wrong.

While it may be possible that those pulling the strings in Washington DC are unaware of how serious Russia is about its independence as a nation, and as such do not realize the position they are putting the world in, I don’t believe it.  I think those at the helm right now actually want an atomic confrontation.  Seriously, the government “elites” have places like Mount Weather (here) and the financial “elite” have been buying bunkers for a while now (here and here). So they will be fine, and probably believe they will be able to resurface and essentially rule whatever is left.  If they are pushing this war for a depopulation agenda, to ease the way for a New World Order, kick off a new Cold War to justify more military industrial complex profits, or breathe new life into the stalled and resisted Great Reset, I can’t tell you.  What I do know is everything really looks like a push to World War that I doubt will remain conventional.

The next World War will go nuclear if for no other reason than the United States (US) doesn’t have the logistical means of fighting a conventional war to victory (here).  Then, we look at the abysmal enlistment numbers the Army just put up, missing its goals by 25% and all the other branches are also struggling to find willing recruits (here).  You can forget about the draft, as there is no popular support for it.  The newest numbers I could find were 80% against the draft in 2007 in the first half of the War on Terror (here).  Bottom line, the draft was more popular when it actually existed during Vietnam (here).  Seriously, you want to see something that would make a ‘vote them all out’ actually happen, that might be it.  That doesn’t even take into account that the Biden administration, in an attempt to lower gas prices in the run up to the mid-terms, has sold off most of the strategic oil reserve (that we have as a resource to fight a war) (here and here) when he could have just reversed his policies that drove the price of oil through the roof to begin with (here).  Then, there is the fact that if Putin thinks Russia won’t survive as a fully independent state I think he would rather burn it all down.  Simply put, I think Russia would rather reduce the industrialized world to ash than let Russia become a client state.  I think an all-out war with NATO might push him over that line, even with China’s military and economic support.

We need a de-escalation. However, even suggesting a path for peace is apparently verboten in today’s world.  Elon Musk (who I am sure, whatever else you think of him, would rather not see the world go up in atomic fire) tweeted a suggested peace plan that drew condemnation from all corners, even the Ukrainian President (here, here, and here), with many, including President Zelensky of Ukraine, accusing Musk of being a Russian sympathizer and worse.  This attitude totally discounts the fact that Ukraine only has comms and internet because Musk rushed Starlink technology to the region just after the invasion to protect Ukrainian communication channels at the significant expense of private funds (here and here).  In what seems to be a response Ukraine, then passed legislation seemingly removing any possibility of a negotiated peace settlement (here).

Add to that that after the Nord Stream Pipelines were destroyed, just as Biden said they would be (here),  the US Secretary of State Blinken said it provided a great opportunity to remove Europe’s dependence on Russian gas (here).  Now, it has come to light that US Navy helicopters stationed in Gdansk are on radar circling the site of the Nord stream incident for hours in the days before the pipelines were damaged (here) and there was a significantly increased Polish Navy presence at the same time (here).  This revelation clearly doesn’t fit the approved narrative. So, Jeffrey Sachs, a Colombia University professor, was unceremoniously pulled from the air and then mocked by the cast when he was on Bloomberg for an interview (here and here).  Since the loss of Nord Stream, we have also found out for sure that Germany was in talks with Russia to ease sanctions and get the gas flowing again (here and here). Ultimately, it isn’t hard to understand Germany would rather its people not freeze, possibly to death in the dark, than Ukraine win this war as a proxy for NATO.  With all of this coming to light and the completion of the Baltic Project Pipeline into Poland on the same day that the Nord stream lines were destroyed, it doesn’t lend a lot of credence to the idea that Russia blew up their single biggest bargaining chip and totally crippled their ability to negotiate with Germany, specifically, and the European Union, generally.

If I can find the information about ships and helicopters, than Russia can too.  I think this is intentional, as it isn’t a smoking gun, but it is provocative as all get out.  I hear the talking heads speculating on Russia using tactical nukes in Ukraine and threatening NATO response (here), and I have to think that those in charge might believe they could have a limited engagement of low yield tactical atomic weapons over somewhere in eastern Europe and win, like some Cold War wet dream.  I don’t think that is the case at all.  Putin has made it clear that Russia sees this entire situation as an existential threat to Russia’s existence as a free and independent state (here).  Putin has also made it clear that the entire invasion of Ukraine is a response to that threat (here, here, and here).  With this being the case, and knowing NATO has threatened a full retaliation if Russia uses nuclear weapons, I don’t think Putin will just authorize a few tactical weapons.  If Putin feels sufficiently backed into a corner, than I think he will choose to launch a full-scale strike with everything at his disposal because at that point Putin knows it is the final toss of the dice and the only chance to win is go all in. Regardless of what the useful idiots in the mainstream media (MSM) say, I think the US government knows this too, being as they just ordered hundreds of millions in anti-radiation drugs for nuclear emergencies (here).

I don’t know where this will go and I pray that it doesn’t escalate further, but I fear it will.  To my mind, the next logical escalation would be a tit-for-tat strike against the new Baltic Pipeline that was completed the same day as Nord Stream was destroyed.  I don’t know if it will be done secretly, with all possible suspects professing innocence, or if it will be done publicly, with Russia declaring it retribution for the West’s actions against Nord Stream.  It doesn’t matter because at that point Europe will freeze in the dark and all I can see is escalation past that point.  When, had we minded our own business, this all could have been avoided.  To me, everything, from the US prohibiting any peace talks before Russia invaded Ukraine, the constant propaganda complete with false stories of victory and heroism, false tales of war crimes, and other equally deplorable lies, all just seem so contrived.  It really seems like whoever is running the Biden puppet saw a chance to get a nuclear war and is going for it.

I don’t care about US or Russian talking points, and I don’t care about any specific narrative.  I care about the truth and what really happened because it doesn’t matter what I am supposed to think or feel, what matters is what actually happened because that is what will ultimately determine the fate of the world at this point.  Just like with COVID, CRT, and nearly every other topic of late, all we have from “Official” sources are verifiable lies and pleas to emotion in the hopes of keeping the rabble roused.  Please join me in praying that I am wrong and this works out before it goes too far.
