While trying to get a handle on the significance of the FTX campaign finance story, I’ve also been keeping an eye on developments in the US war on Russia.
Colonel MacGregor put out another video and at about 14 minutes he discusses what general Millie did with the admission that it’s time to negotiate. The whole thing is a good watch since the good colonel always gives great and relevant information.
Maybe the neo-cons are just idiots after all. Why anger Turkey when its approval is needed to get Finland and Sweden into Nato? As for peace talks with Russia, I can't believe that Russia will bite after the way they have been treated by the GAE. The increased missile attacks on Ukie targets today shows that they won't be tempted. The GAE is indeed desperate. Things are going to look very different by Spring.
As stated, the US version is to bully and coerce, without regard to anyone else’s interests, meaning anyone outside of the Washington power base. Who in America supports their endeavors, aside from the media echo chamber?
Yet those zealots manager to create more than enough votes where they would count to move the needle their way. Who says in today's political environment under the most radical and monstrous regime those votes needed to be real they just needed to be counted by the right people, no? I agree none of this passes the smell test.
I don't usually listen to a lot of podcasts, but I recently watched/listened to Jordan Peterson and Rod Dreher on Youtube. My wife (of all people) pointed me to this video on Youtube. If you haven't seen it I recommend it. She finally gets what I have been telling her for over two years. The world has been down this road many times before.

I listened this morning. I was fascinated by his prediction that within a year the Germans will have mended fences with Russia--to our consternation.
One hopes that it leads to the collapse of NATO...

I'm left with....Why now?
The Neocons are taking actions on situations where the outcomes don't favor them.
If a guy like me can see the desperation, they can as well.
So why are they pushing, and why now?
It's always about the money and that vault may be about to close.
Excellent analysis, again.
ZH just linked a story from Polish radio that two stray (presumption is Russian) rockets just killed two people in a Polish border town.

UPDATE---Pentagon just said "cannot corroborate"
First indications seem to say that it was Ukie air defence missiles gone astray.

Like most dying empires, they haven't cottoned on yet that no-one is scared of them anymore.
It's exactly what rank and file Dems voted for last Tuesday.
You wrote: "Does anyone really think rank and file Democrats went out and voted for more of this?"
Yes, I do. You cannot underestimate the zealotry of committed sociopathic leftists.

Peculiar indeed.
