Ukraine reported it shot down two valuable Russian aircraft over the Sea of Azov. The Kremlin denied it happened. Others said that it had been a ‘friendly fire’ incident involving a single Il-20 ‘Coot’ maritieme patrol aircraft, which was hit by shrapnel from the warhead of a Buk missile, but landing safely. And they had the pictures of a heavily damaged tail section to prove it. And I? I don’t know. And I don’t care, because even if it happened, it will not change anything, unless it could be established that a NATO-country was instrumental to such an event, beyond delivering the weapon system, and training the military.
Medvedev appeared on ‘X’ to tell the world, again, that if a NATO country decided to participate, that would be considered an act of war by that country. Any target considered legitimate and valuable by the Russians, listed as belonging to that country, could thus be erased from the map. Using nukes if they have to. The country most eager to jump right in, is the UK. I don’t know why, even though I do understand their kindergarden ‘Heartland’ and ‘Great Game’ theories, and that they’ve always been obsessed with Russia. They actively tried to provoke Russia before it kicked off the ‘SMO’, by sailing through its territorial waters in the Black Sea with one of the few Frigates still in operational condition, but some shots across the bow were sufficient to chase this proud representative of the British Crown away. Today, from what I read in the ‘establishment media’, they can’t find a crew to man their only carrier, and there are all kinds of difficulties to get the ‘LGBTQ’-recruits in shape.
And no, I’m not even being cynical. Nor is this a problem limited to the forces of King Charles. In addition, finding people from various ‘minorities’ favored by the King who actually understand anything about ‘machining’ the components to build the stuff they use in a war, and the ammo, is still cumbersome, because production is nowhere near enough to prevent embarrassment for the politicians, as they promised Ukraine to back them up till victory was achieved. While Ukraine itself is running out of men, now sending the women and children. You are totally wrong if you think I’m smiling because I predicted this even before the ‘SMO’ kicked off, because all of this is sheer horror!
So, now we switch to the Middle-East, where the NATO geniuses started a bombing campaign to hurt the Houthis. The Dutch would-be Secretary General Mark Rutte jumped right in, his brain switched off, as he has to if he wants to secure his bid to replace Jens Stoltenberg, telling the media that this bombing-run was meant to ‘de-escalate’, and to protect the ‘freedom of navigation’. Clearly he never uttered those words when the US pirated Iranian and Venezuelan ships, or when Israel shot at small fishing vessels operating out of Gaza, or tankers supplying Syria, breaching every international law imaginable, but now he ‘remembered’. On their first run the NATO bombers allegedly hit 3 cattle sheds, 1 grain hangar, 1 tire repair shack, and 2 cactuses. But even if that was a joke from a cynical observer, it was immediately obvious that this first, and the second bombing runs were duds, if it was supposed to deny the Houthis the possibilities to strike targets sailing past their coastline, or to ‘de-escalate’. Moreover, Qatar announced that it would halt the delivery of much needed LNG to Europe, while ‘Washington’ started shipping fresh Joes to parts of Iraq and Syria they still occupy, against the will of the sovereign governments of those countries, 'liberating' the oil to grease the PetroDollar. Because those enclaves are already being hit in an asymmetric war NATO has no chance in a million years to win.
It is not merely the lack of military assets, or manpower, or even the absent industry needed to support the effort. All those ‘Influencers’ vocally supporting the war, just any war, are not the material you need to win wars. And I’m being very polite. This includes the ‘experts’ by the way. The economy is tanking, with industrial output in Germany over the month of November shrinking by seven percent, much more than had been expected. And with the entire country blockaded by angry farmers, truckers, firemen and bikers, while the trains are standing still because of a strike as well, you can bet the farm that it is going to become much worse. The regular financial wizardry to magically produce upbeat numbers and statistics is not going to hold much longer, with the US facing yet another government ‘lockdown’ threat, because they are out of 'Mickey Mouse' money, again. While people all over the West are starting to ask what is wrong with these statistics telling them that ‘excess death’ is still around, and fairly young, healthy, athletic people dropping dead. Against this backdrop the ‘WEF’ is gathering in ‘Davos’, where they want to talk about ‘restoring trust’, while Ukraine is lobbying the campus to find support among their remaining ‘friends’ to set up a summit with the topic of ‘peace in Ukraine’, but without extending an invitation to Russia. Where on earth are these people residing when they close their eyes, finding inspiration in worlds that do not exist?
Mind you, these people honestly think that they are God’s Gift to Mankind. They take their private- or government jet to take them to the Swiss resort, and if they are not a ‘member’, they pay $25.000 ‘entrance fee’, and if they decide on a bite in between meals, like a ‘hotdog’, they gladly pay $43. Who are these people?
