Found this interesting, sounds like more wasted US money, but also an assessment of Hezbollah intentions. https://www.spytalk.co/p/the-limits-of-us-spying-in-beirut?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

The Telegraph UK, yesterday: "Britain must prepare for war. America won't save us this time" and "we can no longer avoid the question of rearmament." by Robert Clark

Today, Twitter/X: One British ship boinks another in Bahrain.

The jokes just write themselves at this point.

LOL! Andrei Martyanov points out today the sheer craziness of a nowhere country like Finland joining NATO. 1. Finland--with a population less than metro St. Petersburg--loses the Russian market for exports, not to mention cheap energy; 2. It ticks off a nuclear power on its border when it previously had no hostile neighbors; 3. By giving bases to the American Empire it goes further and makes *itself* a target.

“You will be the Israeli leader who gave a state to the Palestinians, guaranteed Israel's security and brought peace with Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Islamic world."

Looks like the Globalist faction is pulling the rug from under Israel. This leaves Bibi backed in the corner which is a very dangerous situation, he'll go down swinging.

This report from last week: No one to fill a rear admiral vacancy + plus my 2 favourite quotes from the story.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/royal-navy-job-linkedin-b2473868.html

"One former senior submariner said the post was “utterly shameful” and the only person who applied was an unqualified weapons engineer commodore when it was first posted, according to The Times."

"The Royal Navy was forced to decommission two warships - HMS Westminster and HMS Argyll - because it had too few sailors to staff them."

"But the overall effect on Israel—economic, moral, military—is placing Israel in a no-win position. To the extent that the only path left for Israel is to draw the American Empire past the logistical co-belligerent line into actual combat." Replace the word "Israel" with "Ukraine" and I get a distinct sense of deja vu.

When--not if--the Izzies cease to exist as a sovereign entity, who will the 535 in DC turn to for their largesse in order to remain in power?

Oh, the humanity!

Very sadly, I believe you are correct in your analysis of where this is going. The Israeli government has backed itself into a corner where all out war against Iran via the U.S. is their only hope. The Biden administration has already shown its utter incompetence and its impotence in the face of that fact. No normal people want this outcome, anywhere. No normal people (including Israelis and Ukrainians) want to suffer based on the ideologies, self-interest, corruption, and character flaws of their leaders. Nevertheless, what is coming will come. Revelations 20:7-10?

Ukraine was never meant to be anything to the US/NATO except a sacrificial lamb; that post is heartbreaking.

Not exactly. You have to take into account the incredible hubris of the collective West. They really thought that they would collapse Russia in a few months--possibly in a few weeks--through sanctions. In that scenario, Ukraine would continue to be what it had been--the epicenter of Western elite money laundering. Even now Blackrock and others believe they'll be able to make billions off "rebuilding" Ukraine. It goes without saying that they'll be giving a cut to Western politicians. The corruption is just sickening. Macgregor has been talking about this.

I agree 100% - take into account Kiev changing land-ownership laws, labor laws, selling off state assets - Blackrock, Vanguard, Monsanto, et al swooping in and I view that as a sacrifice of Ukraine, too. Not just the military defeat (and the staggering body count), but the selling out/off of Ukraine out from under the people by their elites. The usual western vultures swoop in and pick at the carcass. Ukraine will just be a geographic spot we point to on a map. If some of the money wasn't coming back to politician's bank accounts, it would never go to the Kiev washing machine. Its barbaric.

An absolute nightmare for the people of Ukraine thanks to the stooge Zelensky and our "beneficent" leaders in the U.S. and E.U. If you want to contemplate the utter tragedy and treachery of this think about and research how the people of Ukraine voted for Zelensky BECAUSE he promised peace with Russia. The shame and the responsibility is the Biden administration's (hello Hunter), the UK's (hello Boris) and unfortunately ours.

Linsey Graham is smiling all the way to the bank. He got his money, “the best money we have ever spent” and the deaths of others were required in order for Linsey and many others like him, whose only skin in the game is to vote their personal interest not the lives of Ukrainians. This is the ultimate betrayal of humanity for the shekels they greedily desire.

Oh, and by the way: The same great war-mongering politicians we have want to sacrifice the people of the Baltics on their altar of depravity next, now that Ukraine has not "worked out." I know people there just as I have known people in Ukraine. I do not want them to suffer and lose their lives also for a bunch of creeps like we have in our Congress.

Now on to killing Palestinians and pocket more money for their vote and their shallow allegiance to Zionism.
