The US is a bully. Bullies often get by with stuff. They succeed in scaring others, they get soft (they probably were never tough in the first place) and they get used to getting their way.

When a bully finally gets a well-deserved punch in the nose, he often crumbles and then cries. The USA is really begging for a punch in the nose.

Hmmm. I just said that in the most recent post.

What will history make of who initiated (nuclear) WW3? Who were the players? Simply put, Putin has so far exercised restraint in the face of severe provocation against deceitful adversaries - so he’s the provokee, and the US etc the provoker. Who in the US? All who pushed a mentally fragile shadow of a man into power and then in his name ran America into a brick wall. Doing the bidding of the same types who got the UK generals to frighten little Sunak with their plans. Seems to me.

I wonder if this is in response to rumours of a new Belorussian front being prepared by Russia.

Just like the "Dirty Dozen". Just keep pushing old Posey until something happens. Though, I do not think it will have the same outcome. 😜

The Duran is quoting some American military source saying, hey, we're not doing anything we didn't do against Germany/Japan in WW2, Russia never responds to us crossing redlines, so why not?

And here is the latest from the Leader of the Free World, somewhere in the Midatlantic states. (The transcript says Philly, but Joe is addressing a Baltimore audience. Who knows where he is?).

You write, "Who knows where he is?)"

I'm sure he doesn't.

Can you imagine being there in person? Kind of awkward.

Biden may have agreed US weapons can be used in the Kharkiv region, since attacks into Ukraine are coming from within Russian territory.

The Duran has a theory those two radar stations were taken out to help Israel, since they cover that region.

I am not sure what the Democrats are doing with Taiwan. Theater was mostly empty and no Chinese sub titles, and is playing a couple of locations in la area one day each. I had to drive to the other side of La county to see it with my family. I was surprised Taiwan has a disinformation office, and it includes who started the Ukraine Snafu. I’m not seeing the purpose of the movie. My wife as probably the only person born in Taiwan in the theater loved the film. It’s about the last President of Taiwan. It had Pelosi and Eric “Fang Fang” Swalwell in it.

Sad to say, I see it as all too consistent: they are going nuclear domestically (Trump guilty on all 34 charges! lmfao) and against Russia. Blinken makes his electric guitar gently weep as Europe gets ready to burn.

In a most macabre way, Ukraine’s looming, inevitable defeat mirrors Zhou’s (political) own: and each, out of delusion and desperation, are escalating, throwing caution and reason to the winds, and in the process giving the middle finger to anything resembling a cool-headed search for a solution, a/k/a peace. Zhou/Zel: what have they to offer their citizenry but more war, more suffering and dying.

Medvedev:

"The current military conflict with the West is unfolding according to the worst-case scenario. There is a constant escalation in the power of NATO weapons being deployed. Therefore, no one can exclude the conflict from escalating to its final (nuclear) stage today."

The Russians don't bluff. This is a very serious statement.

Medvedev seems to be Putin’s direct voice, speaking plainly to those in the world interested in listening. This is an amazingly blunt statement for a very high ranking official in any government to say. The neocons or whoever is running things are taking us to the brink in order to save themselves. Trump want to talk and not bomb and must therefore go to prison. It seems we are seeing collective insanity in the leadership of the west.
