So, Armstrong says they are losing it and it's going to be war but Mercouris says they are just putting up hackles and acting mental so Russia thinks 'better not mess with those dangerous psychopaths'? Do Armstrongs predictions tend to come true?
Once again, the GAE has chosen proxies whom it is unable to control. As for diplomacy and jaw-jaw, none of the current players in the West even know what those mean.
Sébastien Lecornu, or Sébastien the “Horned”. In French “corne” means horn or antler: “Excroissance dure, pointue et paire ornant la tête de certains mammifères et servant d'arme offensive ou défensive.” Human translation: a sharp and pointed growth on the head of certain mammals used to attack or defend itself.” Given how things turned out during that call to Shoigu, as Mercouris suggests, it was the Russian wearing the horns and charging at the retreating French. As Sachs made clear yesterday on the Duran, if the Euros had unified and opposed Washington/Nato’s plan to invite Ukraine and Georgia in - a North Atlantic country! - in 2008 - if they had come out forcefully against this demented and destructive idea to the future of Europe, then possibly this war could have been avoided. But no, the Euros chose collective suicide, to the point of continuing, as Mark brilliantly shows, their sorry sharade (Doltenberg takes the cake), with hornless (to be polite) Lecornu taking a beating and running for cover. Truly abject.
Hard to impossible to feel any sympathy for the UK/DE/FR. It's possible to sympathize to a certain extent with some of the others, but the stupidity of it all was a conscious choice and was mostly done for base motives by the ruling classes.
I just found this sub and you do good work! "in it to win it" indeed. I doubt Russia stops now without linking up with transnistria and the immense and permanet leverage land locking Ukraine would give Russia. West can do nothing about it short of nukes. This will be settled Appomattox courthouse style now with Russia taking Shermans position.
This is laughable even with it being (or possibly because it is) so serious. I thought the Biden admin was bad but the French have topped them on this one. You have to admit no one understands and does farce like the French (after all they created it). But the Americans and Brits aren't that sophisticated. They probably thought: "Yeah, let's send the French, they know all about this diplomacy stuff." At the same time the Russians must have been thinking:
Commenter DFBarr, on the earlier post, mentions Mike Johnson floating the idea of confiscating the $300 billion of Russian reserves and giving it to Ukraine. I suggest that that, too, may have been part of the Neocon gaslighting strategy to lure Russia into a stupid deal. Problem: Putin isn't stupid.
I’ve made the observation before that these clowns have elevated stupidity to an art form, but damn, this stuff is absolutely world class! Their arrogance has actually convinced them that everyone else on the geopolitical stage is as inept, gullible and shortsighted as they are and will thus fall for these bush league antics.
How can they possibly believe that the Russians, the Chinese or any foreign power would seriously engage with such utterly ridiculous and nonsensical rubbish? If the neocons don’t succeed in starting a global war, it certainly won’t be for lack of effort.
But...but...never forget that when communications are leaked Biden's and his puppeteers' audience is not 'everyone else on the geopolitical stage'. It is only the American electorate which they are betting the house is sufficiently 'inept, gullible and shortsighted' to re-elect them in November. This is all that really matters. Everything else is business as usual in, as Mark calls it, the Imperial City on the Potomac.
...statesmanship from those currently in power...?
bwhahahaha

For Zhou, diplomacy can be summed up as “one ringy-dingy.” But then that is how his handlers want it…
Or, "Point me towards the person whose hair I need to sniff"

Absolument

I agree. The Black Sea is NATO's prime objective, has been for a long time. Russia knows that.
Seems the West is in the Bargaining Stage…

denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

But where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here
How long before the circus leaves town?
When the audience kicks them out.
Desperation in order to survive and maintain control all around.

What a jerk he turned out to be. But even if MTG and Co. get rid of him, who's a worthy replacement?
Plenty more jerks where he came from. Nobody is irreplaceable.
Throwing things at the wall to see what sticks doesn't seem like it is acting from a position of strength.
Which suggest Johnson is owned.

You said it better than I did - I should have read the comments first.
They really did think that defeating Iraq and Libya had prepared them for Russia.
Don’t forget Serbia…
Oh yeah.
We really showed 'em!
Facts on the ground are stubborn things.
