Norway has officially stated that the country will continue to supply the US Navy. The private company had issued a (Facebook!!) statement:
"Huge credit to the president of Ukraine restraining himself and for keeping calm even though USA put on a backstabbing TV show. It made us sick... No Fuel to Americans!,"
This reminds of Vance's recent public comments about controls of free speech in Europe. These Europeans are ultra-propagandized. They have little or no alt media. And their leadership appears to operate on motives that I find hard to fathom. I find too prevelant the mindset of submitting to do and think "as the authorities have instructed us".
Peak EU! Maybe letting NATO wither is a needed first step.
I saw that before rushing off this morning. Not surprising--you know that there had to be contracts and maybe even treaty obligations, as I mentioned. And you're right about the lack of alternate media over there.
Right. That article was the basis for his last conversation with Judge Nap, which I commented on at quite a bit of length. He does these articles over the weekend and then discusses them, somewhat loosely, on Monday.
Bondi is not up to the task to go after Rice and the rest. My opinion. I see four long years of continued nonsense by the neocon globalists and internet sleuthing uncovering their machinations, all the while our vaunted institutions play dumb. Ugh
Agreed about Bondi. She gave us the first set-back of Trump 2.0. She promised the Epstein names then gave us a lame list of info we already knew. Then she issued an ultimatum to Patel to crack down on the FBI and get the docs. That deadline has been and gone with nary of murmur. Bondi, Patel and Bongino are on notice. The FBI must be sorted out.
Right. For anyone with any experience in such investigative and prosecutorial matters the idea that there could only be 120 pp is simply not remotely credible.
She’s all show, and no go. It’s all about appearances and narratives with her. Spin. Lightweight. Not up to the seriousness of the moment in my opinion.
You are so right, Mark. Her statement sounds like a CYA move to buy her some time and in my book she loses credibility. Gaslighting American when such high profile statements have been made makes it look like business as usual or that she does not have control of her department.
That's the only play they have at the moment, ML. anything more overt really sends a big message to the American people, at least the ones paying attention.
My guess is Trump smelled a rat (televised meeting), gave Zelensky lots of rope to hang himself with, and then Trump tag teamed with Vance kicked away the support allowing Zelensky to hang.
The Aussies and Americans have no reason to complain. The Chinese were in international waters and the Western navies often go through the Straits of Taiwan.
The 2nd impeachment gang trying to set up Trump again makes sense.
And Trump being aware of Zelensky’s untrustworthy/ back stabbing nature (Russiagate, Impeachment 2 over a call to him Vinderman leaked), as well as his inability to agree to a peace deal (agree and Ukrainian Nazis kill him) puts a different prospective on Trumps analysis and resulting reaction.
Trump expected something from Zelensky, being prepped by the visits of macron and Starmer.
And Trump is not as trusting, as he was in his first administration.
Susan Rice is a Rhodes Scholar as are Rachel Maddow & Bill Clinton. She was considered for VP to Biden. June 16, 2020, “Rice Is Emerging As a Logical Pick For Biden’s Veep,” Special to The Sun, Ira Stoll: “Susan Rice is a Rhodes scholar,...the daughter of a Federal Reserve governor [now deceased and], a protégé of Madeleine Albright. In 2012 the Washington Post reported her family’s wealth at $20 million….Ms. Rice has been outspokenly in favor of keeping American troops in two places–Syria and Germany.”... Ms. Rice married a Canadian native and as of 2012 had financial interests in Canadian businesses:

(scroll down): “According to her most recent financial disclosure reports [2012] along with her TransCanada investments, Rice and her husband own at least $1.5 million worth of stock in Enbridge (Canada’s No. 3 oil producer, according to Forbes), Cenovus (No. 7), and Encana (No. 8), as well as at least $1.25 million in Imperial (No. 2), $50,000 to $100,000 in Suncor (No. 1), and $15,000 to $50,000 in Canadian Natural (No. 6). (TransCanada is ranked at No. 5 by Forbes.) The couple has at least $1.25 million invested in Transalta, Alberta’s largest coal-fired electricity power producer, and at least $1.5 million in Canadian Pacific Railway, which transports coal, oil, and gas and has been a major financial beneficiary of the North American energy boom.”…
In the early part of this new century as China's ascent was more obvious as our descent began to pick up speed there was lot's of talk of how Australia was re-evaluating whether they were part of the West or should move closer to China given their regional placement on the world map. They were conflicted. In the ensuing years, I agree they needed to assure themselves the West would provide them security in what was becoming a more hostile region to the Wests interests. The UK needed to reassure the Aussies of their place in Empire and that the USA would be offering security to keep them aligned. It's a big continent and the USA needs a base of operation closer to China. I think the part the Aussies have been playing became clear in the Russian Hoax operation.

Slightly off-topic - but is anything "off topic" these days? Another fine article from Alistair Crooke: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/america-republic-not-empire-europes-sound-and-fury-after-jaw-dropping-pivots-us-policy
The article explains a lot of the forces / currents that created the Whitehouse meeting debacle.

Ha! Looks like I'm out of the loop!

It highlighted the withholding, and increases the pressure for release.
I’m not sure if this was by design, or incompetence.
Suggests SDNY is wild wild west. She says someone is being relieved.
I’m wondering if Trumps targeting of Zelensky has more to do with the US/Euro network propping him up than the person himself.
Seems like Musk might be the in-house signals intelligence.
With USAID gone stealing another election will be difficult.
How ‘bout the Fab Four at it again? At any rate, Mollie Hemingway does not mince words:

“Get Trump” continues apace.
That's the only play they have at the moment, ML. anything more overt really sends a big message to the American people, at least the ones paying attention.
Agree.

Good call Ray
The China’s PLAN(avy’s) circumnavigation of Australia.
I noted last year, Aus is prone to a lone Sub running the same route, popping up and firing cruise missiles at strategic targets (power and/or fuel).
Looks like they are thinking the same.
Our defenses were caught napping, and have we learnt anything?
No mention domestically about protection of national strategic assets, nothing.
Looks like Aus can be taken off the Board very very early in a kinetic situation, very easily and cheaply.
A Good Neighbor policy might alleviate the concerns. America is a long way off, as many in the world are suddenly realizing.
The Aussies and Americans have no reason to complain. The Chinese were in international waters and the Western navies often go through the Straits of Taiwan.
Australia - fafo

In other words, she's a crook who hates her own country.
She's a transnationalist, not love or hate, just does not feel tied to any one country.
No, it's hate. Leftist minorities like her hate the USA. They've all been educated by the Howard Zinn version of the USA.
I think you're being kind there, Tamsin. All I see is a traitor.
Yes, a traitor and a crook.
Australia has ben engaging in similar activities for ages. Even PM Albanese said it. Just more of anti- China propaganda and fear-mongering!
Whatever Australia does is to serve one of its two masters, ie, the US or the UK monarchy.
