Their never-failing failure, is *always* over-playing their hand...Wonder where, oh where, will will the mighty world merchant lay their heads down next? I'm betting heavily on Patagonia...count on it. I just hate to be in the burned and plundered ashes of the northern Hemisphere at this time to come (for now, at least). Before the end of this week, gonna get very hot. The QSA/JSA, has about , what, 700 mini-Stalingrads around the world, ripe for the annihilating? That's kind of stupid "force projection". (while they damn should sure be at home, protecting their "homeland"!) But then again, ruled by insane people who do not care, except for vengeance on Amalek and tikun-alom! (they can escape and wait it out, of course, without a scratch on their holy hides!)...And so, history repeats itself...Let's begin teaching our kids the art of cave-wall painting....(AGAIN!).

Thanks for that. It's nice to see things analysed from a different and fresh angle. There is so much sameness in Internet comments.

The Onion, back when it was funny (so, 20+ years ago), had a t-shirt that read "Stereotypes" in big, bold letters, captioned by "are such time-savers!"

Having had a merchandise coupon while also a NYC corporate attorney back then, I opted for the "I [heart] Corporations" one. ;-)

Stereotypes are nothing more than generalizations drawn from observation of reality. It's how humans interact with the real world--rational interaction with reality is impossible without general concepts. Action based on generalizations may be warranted or unwarranted, but only open discussion can validly determine whether the actions are warranted or not. Suppression of discussion about generalizations is almost certain to be unproductive because it, in effect, attempts to suppress human nature. Such attempts are usually pursued in the service of extreme ideologies.

Nor did I take your comment to imply that.

Concur. The US is "pushing" the Russians. Bullying, as you say. And you are right , the fools have got themselves into several potential conflicts all at once.

Does anyone see this combined situation ending well? And the way everything is unfolding makes the "critical eye" ask. Are they who are orchestrating this.... just fools.... OR.... maybe they do not want it end well.

hard to say

Good for MTG. Wonderful that there is a representative who actually speaks their mind (or that actually has a mind). But wow, only one out of 435? +50? Pitiful.

Good to know, Cass! There are very few here in Europe willing to speak out: Orban, Farage, Fico...

Outside if the obvious economy and illegal migrants/border issues I sure hope Trump on Thursday rattles Zhou with his administrations foreign policy debacles. This is an equally highly relevant topic that equates to war. In addition, the terrorism aspects as noted above will not go away for Russia. Putin knows the CIA and National Security desks will continue to pay influence with dissenters in the region. Putin will come up with alternative means to address (beyond Russian soil) IMO.

To paraphrase the three guys in "Jaws": I think we need a bigger fan. The idea that these terrorist attacks will push Ivan and Olga Public to overthrow Putin is mind-boggling and reflects how little understanding of human nature these neocons - psychopaths to a man and woman - have in their raddled brains. Russia has so many options here and nearly all of them allow them plausible deniability. I'm sure that Putin and his team have had very good reasons for not taking out the Black Sea drones, but that has to change. And now is not a good time to be a GI on one of those illegal Syrian or Iraqi bases.

Wow Steg, a Jaws reference after my Stripes reference yesterday. BTW it's a bigger "boat" not fan. LOL. Anyways the Duran guys also talked about Russia's need to take out ISR assets in the Black sea but they both wondered impact when these drones are replaced by manned flights.

Perhaps the bigger fan is to handle all the shite that’s about to hit it.

That's what my cheeky little paraphrase was aiming at. The brown stuff coming our way won't just hit the fan; it will bury it under a mudslide.

I agree that it's mind bogglingly clueless, and yet they really do believe something of the sort.

Speaking of Global Hawks, look what Stephen Bryen just posted:

If its true, we're getting our drone herd thinned out....

Timing suggests an “October surprise” type event to influence the European elections less than 10 days away for both Uk and France.

I think the surprises are coming in every month now, Ray. Even weekly.

Let's hope to stay alive until November 5th for the US general election. And in my beloved Chinada, for the ousting of the incompetent Liberal-NDP coalition. Let's spend a moment to pray God.

Ah, the good old Epoch Times. From another epoch.

The Epoch Times, although it has a lot of good content, always has to be interpreted through the filter of it's association with Falun Gong. There is always going to be an anti-CCP bias. Not that the CCP is good and the Falun Gong is bad or the other way around. Just that the relationship is adversarial and therefore prone to propaganda. Personal opinion: The last thing we need is ET tailoring their journalism toward cheerleading on a war between the U.S. and China.

Great news whatever the timing. I wonder when they're going to release the editors of the NYT and UK Daily Telegraph who did exactly the same thing that he did. Oh, wait, they weren't jailed, were they?
