This first item is pretty self explanatory and won’t surprise many readers, but it’s still useful information: In other words, while the US claims to be “bleeding” Russia, we are also feeding Putin’s war machine. Go figure. Someone’s making money, I guess.
In an excerpt from a BBC interview from three days ago:
"Ukraine has become a de facto member of the Nato alliance, the Ukrainian defence minister says, as Western countries, once concerned that military assistance could be seen as an escalation by Russia, change their "thinking approach"...."
Thanks for the French link. There are many interesting articles, and they are very concerned about Davos, even actively pushing against the campaign to 'take over humanity' with lies. This is new to me. The decade I lived there the educated class were all Marxists.
Mark, thanks for staying at your 'blog post' throughout your busy week.
Our cabal run 'elected leadership' shuts pipelines down, cuts lease acreage to almost nil, denies permits (while claiming otherwise), discourages oil infrastructure investment (refineries in particular), propagates a stupid law forbidding intra-national NG transfers from Tx to the NE excepting on US Vessels which are quite busy taking our NG to Europe at huge energy price increases for them, *destroying the RU Nordstream pipeline to assure that need, uses extensive regulations to further discourage 'fossil' fuels *that our SCOTUS says is an unlawful act of unelected regulators... this craziness just has no end.
Oh, "EVs for EVeryone!" which in spite of Sweden's recent great RE metals find can not be produced for anywhere near the need to replace gas/diesel powered equipment, even IF there were (presently unavailable) electrical-provision capabilities planned (let alone expected). I said it already, but this craziness just has no end. At least not to the benefit of the US public.
Oh, don't forget while buying Indian Refined 'fossil' fuels and products, Hydrogen powered vehicle technologies are being ignored. I'm a gas/diesel guy; however hydrogen has capacity and capability (if developed and produced) to 'carbon-free' power some of our transportation. My specific 'experience' is Trucking, but includes construction, warehousing (those electric forklifts are marginal-propane always works reliably) and I like my gas car and pickup trucks. All these work when it's zero: EV's not so much; in fact Lith/FE batteries, currently a leading functioning battery, won't charge without being heated above freezing, let alone operate said vehicle much more than 1/2 standard time/distance and requires internal computer controlled heating at that.
Sorry for a long rant: hypocrisy/hypocrites need a replacement word; they just aren't strong enough to describe the insanity our Ruling Class bettors display. I think I need some target practice time to get my mind distracted from all this... (WRH) I know, I left the Idaho tag off, you all are probably tired of it...
Someone has got to stop the US war machine which exists only by enslavement of US taxpayers...."The Deep State...considers global conflict as the price to pay for maintaining its largesse from the US taxpayer. Continuous warfare is its only business product."...Philip Giraldi, 11/7/2019

And why did the Russians reveal that capability now?

Then there is this:

I bet there are some subterranean homesick blues in NATO SCIFs right about now.
