Ground Assault with Sky Soldiers Combined Arms Live Fire Exercise

One of Northern Europe's largest vegetable brands shuts down production for six weeks due to high energy costs

And here comes Europes food crisis for the winter. The hits just keep coming. The terrible thing? Food will be diverted from the US to fill the need resulting in higher prices here. The pain will be global.

YOU WILL HAVE NOTHING AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY!

Here comes the nukes...Putin wasn't bluffing...


Escalate to de-escalate is a well known Russian doctrine. 30 plus countries were arrayed against one. Is it any wonder we're where we're at? Oh and do me a favor. They're Russian soldiers not Orcs. It's Russia not Moldar. That shit is so childish for such a serious situation. One last thing. If Putin does even a DEMONSTRATION on his side of the border it will CRASH markets in the West. Europe will be RAVAGED economically from the fallout!

"2023 Will Be Year From Hell" - Martin Armstrong Warns Europe 'Could Suck The Rest Of The World Down The Tubes'

 via Drudge Report

Europe is in big financial trouble with Russian natural gas turned off as a retaliation from the sanctions. Armstrong explains:

In Europe, I believe they are actually deliberately doing this, and this is Klaus Schwab’s ‘Great Reset.’

They know they have a serious problem.

They lowered rates to below 0% in 2014. They just started raising interest rates. Meanwhile, you ordered all the pension funds throughout Europe to have more than 70% in government bonds. Then they took it negative.

All the pension funds are insolvent. Europe is fiscal mismanagement on a grand scale. There is no way it can sustain itself, and we are looking at Europe breaking apart.

So, could Europe suck the rest of the world down the tubes? Armstrong says, “Oh, absolutely. Europe is the problem..."

"The crisis in banking will start in Europe...The debt is collapsing. They have no way to sustain themselves.

The debt market over there is undermining the stability of all the banks.

You have to understand that reserves are tied to government debt, and this is the perfect storm.

Yes, the (U.S.) stock market will go down short term. We are not facing a 1929 event or a 90% fall here... Europeans, probably by January of 2023, as this crisis in Ukraine escalates, anybody with half a brain is going to take whatever money they have and get it over here.

Europe is finished.

Stupid fools actually believed it was about Ukraine.

Never was.

We have castrated them.  Some of the smaller, more independent nations might escape our orbit but the bigger players...UK, Germany...the Nordic states?

They belong to us.  (Insert evil laughter!)

The globalist elite must be pouring their favorite adult beverage as we speak!

I'm sorry. But if you're riding in the bitch seat on an ATV you just can't look hardcore. Just ain't possible. You can put a TOW Launcher on your shoulder but you're still riding the bitch seat! LOL!

Established international norms? What a joke!

I luv this. All the people that have globbed onto the "established international norms" are idiots! There are no norms. There are variable rules established by the strong and foisted on the weak. As much as we like to think we've evolved. As much as we think we can alter reality, reality comes back and bites everytime.

This pic from a person that stayed behind during the hurricane shows either incredible bravery or incredible stupidity!

The protests in Iran have taken a turn....into something familiar...

Wow.

I said that the protests was an opportunity for the US. 

I stated that we could use them to moderate the govts behavior, to push them to modernizing their society and a chance to get them to view the west differently.

I did not expect this.

I wonder if we're seeing another color revolution.  This Twitter obviously thinks so.

Putin to explode a nuclear device near the border of Ukraine as a demonstration?

Saturday, October 01, 2022

Apparently drinking espresso on your way to combat is the new hotness...

Time to talk about the unthinkable in the Ukraine/NATO/US vs Russia war

 I've been raging that we should have diplomatic channels open with Russia.  That we should be trying our best to walk this thing back and to shut this shit off.

Many of my readers are so into the propaganda surrounding this thing that they call Russians "orcs", have even Zelensky running with the talking point that they should "run if they want to live" etc...

But everyone is also forgetting the old Russian concept of escalating to de-escalate.

Point in case.

1.  Putin stated that any attack on Russian soil would provoke retaliation.  The implication being nukes.

2.  The Russians were losing territory but its accelerated recently. It appears that they are withdrawing in some sort of order.

3.  The attacks are occurring in areas that the Russians have declared that are now part of Russia.

4.  An ally of Russia has declared that tactical nuclear weapons should be used.

So what if?

What if it isn't a bluff and the Russians escalate to de-escalate?

What if they do use tactical nuclear weapons?

What is our response?  Do we directly attack Russian forces if they are not engaging our own?  Do we respond in kind? Do we use conventional forces against their troops if they use tactical nukes in Ukraine?

The world would be shocked.

The West would be hard pressed to go to ACTUAL war for Ukraine.

But most experts would scream and yell that such an act could go unpunished.  BUT WE HAVE NO MORE BULLETS LEFT IN OUR MAGAZINE!  THE SANCTIONS ARE TO THE MAX.  WE'RE ALREADY SENDING MILITARY EQUIPMENT!  WHAT COULD WE DO SHORT OF JOINING THE CONFLICT!

Even worse?

What if Putin is overthrown?

Has anyone taken a look at those behind him?  They make Putin look like a choir boy and they definitely want to drink our blood.

For better or worse Putin is a moderate in their system and he is the MOST likely to make a deal than others in his orbit.

So since most are war hungry where do you see this going if the unthinkable happens?

I see nothing good!

They're really talking about tactical nukes...

How do we respond if Russia uses tactical nukes on its newly annexed territory? Would it be worth a response in kind? What would be the unintended consequences if we did or didn't? This thing is heading toward some real shaky territory and if I was the leader of any country on this planet I would RUSH to get a nuclear capability. The world is getting more dangerous and IDIOTS don't want people talking to try and shut this shit down.
