  1. The col is right. If China supports Russia openly, NATO could well collapse.

  2. The damage in the pictures don't look like Debrie damage. Russia must have had intel some specific Ukrainian politician or military commander lived there. CNN continues to keep to the propaganda script that Ukraine shot down 100% of Shahed 131's and 136's. The original story was no negotiations until Ukraine wins back all the territory including Crimea. This is a slight retreat but it's just as fake as the couter offensive. Zelensky and his generals didnt' want to start the counter offensive at all but was forced to by the CIA. This fake news is to move the goal posts so Europe continues to support the sanctions against Russia. Remember in nov 2022, Ukraine was going to be in Crimea in dec 2022 and Russia would be out of Crimea in jan 2023. Then there was going to be major spring offensive. The spring offensive didn't materilize. It's sort of started but only a few "probing" attacks. Well the main attack will never happen. And the probing attacks will die down. And then they will wait for the fall or winter counter offensive. Ukraine knows it'll take more casualties attacking. But they also know Russia would like to end the war on its terms sooner than later. Russia is not attacking because they want the advantage of defense. Russia will attack only when they think Ukraine has given up the attack.

  3. Prior to this speech, China has been the punching bag of everyone. US accuses China of "thinking" of sending weapons to Russia and warns it will cross a red line. Then Germany who owned 1/2 of Nord Stream blow up by the US, And whose economy is starting to de-industrialize, and moving all their factories to China also warns China this would cross a red line. Will Afghanistan next warn China not to send weapons to Russia next?

  4. Didnt' hear Sweden is willing to declare war on Rrussia. or to send troops to Ukraine. Talk is cheap. Especially if US offers an economic incentive to join.

  5. You're listening to too much US propaganda. Ukraine has suspended very right in the 1st ammendment of the US constitution. There is free speech or assembly. All opposition parties are banned. All press is controlled by the CIA. Even the orthodox Christian church is banned. Because the priests pray for peace. This is on top of Ukraine being the most corrupt country in Euriope. Every smart weapon sent to Ukraine has has at least 1 fully functing copy sold to RUssia, who's given it to Iran. Less sophiscated weapons many 10's of % of them end up in Africa. Some have even been sold to Mexican drug cartels. (Swedish anti-tank missiles).

  6. So far only LIthuania has already announced a diplomatic boycott? That's not good. Usually the US "wraps up" the boycott list. It's likely Australia and UK will join. And Canada and perhaps France? ~100 nations to 6, we're sure winnnig here. Are we showing our strength or our irrelevance?

  7. The US wrote the book(s) and invading a country. The US also wrote the book on how to destablize a country and start and support a civil war. The US also wrote the book on how to engineer military coups. And most important the US wrote the book on disinformation to justify to its own people why it's OK to kill 1 million Iraqis because Saddam has WMDs.

  8. This is not a show about Russia or Putin, it's about Tucker. Tucker's Utube video got 1 million views. This one 36,000 and 2-3 other CCN hit pieces also got about the same. But what is hurting the neocon fake propaganda is that the "IMMINENT" invasion isn't happening. Tucker's comments may be in Russian propaganda and is a pain for US propaganda efforts. But where it may have the biggest impact is in Germany. This fake crisis was generated to convince Germany to cancel NS-2. Tucker's talking points can stiffen Germany's spike to resist the US neocons.

  11. Australia is attempting robbery. Only google and facebook are ordered to pay, their competitors are not asked. Only the big news organizations will get paid, the new news startups are no paid. This is robbery plain and simple. Australia is the big bully and crying claiming its the victim.

  12. The supersonic drone is not to fly over Taiwan or S. Korea it's to fly over the Pacific to locate the US carrier strike groups. Taiwan and Japan and S. Korea are very close to China you don't need a supersonic aircraft. But China plans to launch 500 satellites for recon in 2023. This can be compared to Planet lab's 200 satellites. The 21 yr old air national guard is not the original leaker. He probably found something on the internet, printed it out. He's the scape goat who will get prison time for doing what millions of other people do on the internet but aren't being prosecuted.

  13. That's the priority of our Aipac bought and controlled congress and Biden/Harris

  14. In 2014 the Ukrainian army was a mess. But the CIA went in, recuited tons of neonazis who were eager to fight. And the Ukrainian army was rebuilt from the ground up by the US (DoD/CIA) with lots of money. That's why they stood up so well at the beginning. But Russia has adapted. And you shouldn't believe all the US dis-information. Scott Ritter the marine colonel who ran WMD search in Iraq says Ukraine casualties are several times that of Russian casualties. But Russia now has a "war time" economy meaning not just 300K new troops but whole companies are conscripted to make weapons/ammo. The sanctions hurt but the chips in Russian (and US) missiles are found in washing machines and toaster ovens. Russia has had 9 months to find which companies in China has these and also have zero business ties with the west. Milley and Marks know this is happening. The US is not going into a war time economy. So we will run out of weapons to send to Ukraine while Russia will start cranking out 1000's of drones and missiles and IFV/APCs. The public (and the propaganda) says courage and fighting for your country is what wins wars, the generals know it's logistics wins wars.

  15. Tucker's positions were all in line with everyone else at Fox with one big exception, which this group is avoiding at all costs. That's Ukraine. In feb 22, 80% of americans supported the neocon narrative. Today 55% do. But for republicans a majority now do not support the neocon narrative and only 35% do. Then there's RFK announcing he'll challenge Biden. An NBC poll said 70% of americans don't think Biden should run in 24, 26% of amerians say he should run. RFK's anti-war statnce and RFK getting unlimited time on Tucker's show is a potential death knell to the neocon's endless wars.

  16. You mean to "start" the war admit them now. That is the war between US and Russia. Americans have been fed the story that the US military is 10X stronger than everyone one else. The Pentagon knows better. They are adamantly opposed to declaring war on Russia. In 2021 some neocons wanted to start a war with CHina. THe penagaon then leaked the results of 12 previously classified war games (simulations) where China won all 12 times. If NATO were to put boots on the ground, those boots would have no tanks to ride in because they have already been sent to Ukraine. They would have not 155mm shells to fire because they have been sent to Ukraine. In fact Biden said on TV, we're sending them Cluster munitions because that's all we have left and more importantly Ukraine will run out in 2 months. Admiting Unraine now means the end of NATO.

  17. Putin is not bluffing. He doesn't intent to attack. After the Olympics, he still will not attack. We're waiting for Godot. Godot will never come.

  18. Clearly Ukraine wants to draw NATO into the war. Zelensky sees the writing on the wall. 85 power substations hit, Russia ordered 2,400. US sent NASAMS but after those 30 missiles take out 30 drones, what do you do about the other 2,370? Ukraine did this and on purpose. But NATO's response was just as loud. NO WAY does NATO get involved. (and by blaming Ukraine tells Zelensky don't bomb Poland again). So Zelensky will try Lithuania next.

  19.  @lostpony4885  They are using 155mm ammo now. Google cost of 155mm ammo. It's $500/per bullet. These are "dumb" 155mm ammo. The GPS guided 155mm "excaliber" shells cost $60,000 per bullet. But that's cheap compared to a stinger or javeline missile ~$150,000 each. Both of these missiles need to be cooled to cryo temperatures for their IR cameras/seeker to work. They use bottles of liquid argon to cool them The argon lasts 2 mins. If you don't fire in 2 min, you need to insert another bottle of argon.

  22. Invasion, invasion, invasion. Western media has lost all credibility. Inside the US all US mass media is singing the same song. Except for Tucker and a few internet blogs. But outside the US (including Europe) there is zero credibility. The goal has always been to impose massive economic sanctions on Russia, invasion or no invasion, war or no war. The US admin has put so much political capital into this it can't back down. But Europe will bear the brunt of the economic pain when US sanctions prevent them from trading with Russia. The stakes are high, on one side a massive recession in Europe with milder recession in the US and the rest of hte world or the Europeans refuse to shoot themselves in the leg.The neocons need a war. (without war NATO starts to fall apart)

  23. Rand Paul tried to add an amendment to the NDAA saying the US constitution has primacy over US treaties. In particular if article 5 of NATO is invoked the US congress must declare war before the US sends its military. Only 16 other senators agreed with Rand. But one day later Rand Paul's office in Bowliing Green Kentucky was fire bombed. Has the US now become an authorian dictatorship, where political violence is accepted by the likes of CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox? Oh we have no proof the CIA did it? And the next time when RFK's campaign office is bombed, we have no proof the CIA did it? Willl US main stream media turn its head and refuse to look as we decend into a police state where certain parts act with impunity against elected US lawmakers? Turn a blind eye.

  24. Everyone is wondering when the Ukrainian offensive is going to start. And what constitutes success? And will western supporters be disappointed and stop supporting the war effort? The Ukrainian propagand has been, they will push the Russians all the way out back to 2014 borders including Crimea by end of jan 2023. But is that necessary? What is a successful counter offensive? What is success depends on who is asking the question. For the neocons, success is to keep the war and the sanctions going. Death and destruction of another 10 years maybe 20 yrs. For Ukraine's leaders success if more arms shipments and money keep comming for 10 more years. For the Ukrainian people, they voted for Zelensky to end the fighting back in 2018. Zelensky's team wanted a peace deal with Russia back in april 2022, until Boris flew to Kiev. For the European people success leads to negotions that end both the war and the sanctions, that'll let the Germans start repairing Nord Stream. For India the war has enabled them to buy cheap Russian oil. The war mongers are in control, support for Ukraine will continue until the war mongers decide to abandon Ukraine to fight the proxy war against China.

  25. Verry true that hope is a huge force in war. That's why casualty numbers are not released by either side. Jack Texiera (USAF airman) released to his internet gaming buddies, classified pentagon memoes. One posted on X said Ukrainian casualties are 7X Russian casualties. This is something leaders like Zelensky and the US know. And perhaps the estonian ambasador. Ukraine's destruction is visible to everyone. And we know Ukrainian men are leaving the country to avoid the draft. in 1 week Zelensky's border guards shot and killed 48 who were trying to avoid the draft. This is why Ukraine wants to hit civilian targets in Russia. They are losing badly.

  26. This is fundamentally a proxy war between the US and Russia. Ukrainians are dying and it is a price the US is willing to pay. Europe's economy is suffering (the US not so much) this is a price the US is willing to pay. Ukraine joining NATO is what all the death and destruction is about. The goal has always been the economic destruction of Russia.

  27. Eric is a super hawk, they didn't expect Eric to partially tell the truth. All of main stream media censored Sy Hersh, the CIA kept changing its story of who bombed Nord Stream. But the truth leaks out unintentionally, like Biden saying we're sending cluster bombs because we ran out of the 155mm ammo Ukraine really wanted. But despite the extreme censorship in westerm media, many americans think we have a free press.

  28. Zelensky wants Ukrainians to give their lives to defend the right of Ukraine to allow the US to put Nukes on Ukrainian soil. This is as or more important than our freedom.

  29. D. Ford is a bully just like Trump. His first reaction was to throw Mexico under the bus. Once a bully always a bully. If Ontario ramps up the economic war, so will Trump.

  30. I thought N. Korea was sending 1 million 155mm shells to Russia? And China, we accuse of sending critical parts for Russia military equipment.

  31. Why is Wagner group so concentrating on Bakmut? It's a propaganda campaign. Ukraine supported by 28 NATO countries and 100 Billion in aid is losing the battle to a private army.

  32. A good summary of the recent history. But Fareed totally ignores the aggressive actions of the US. This crisis was started by the US. The US supplied 500M of weapons to Ukraine and the Turkish drones were very effective at destroying Russian armor in the Donbass. What happened in Georgia was about to repeat. So he moved 100K troop to discourage Zelensky from attacking Donbass. The US has tried to kill NS-2 by threats to sanction Germany. (This is phrased as sanctioning NS-2 but Ted Cruz sent letters to a dozen German company CEOs) That didn't work. So Blinken then started the fake propaganda campaign accusing Russia of planning to invade Ukraine. This campaign was successful with the public, but while western reporters asked, why not imposes sanctions BEFORE an invasion, the Germans balked. They see this as an economic war between US and Russia where Germany is asked to pay much higher prices for natural gas perhaps to the tune of 30 billion/year to subsidize the US-Russian economic war. Germany feels the US should fight its own war with its own money not ask Germany to pay 30B/yr for a war Germany doesn't want.

  33. Whether Russia invades or not is not the significant event. The significant event is the sanctions imposed on Europe to prohibit Russia to Europe trade. That will throw Europe into a deep recession as well as Russia and the whole world (includidng US) into a less severe recession. Biden will do this no matter what Russia does. His definition of invade will be different than Europe's definition but Europe depends on the US dollar for trade and extra-territorial sanctions can be very painful. (ask Iran or Venezvula or Cuba.) The real war is the economic war and Biden basically has said, he's made a decision to start that war.

  35. You're missing the whole point of Ukraine joining NATO. Ukraine HAS to convince NATO/US to declare war on Russia. The survival of Ukraine depends on it. There's a rumor that the Ukrainian army has given the CIA an ultimatum. Ukraine has sacrificed 350,000 lives. We will not continue to sacrifice lives if NATO/US does not declare war on Russia. The CIA would love to start a war with Russia. The Pentagon says the CIA's crazy.

  36. Sending the patriot battery is 99% a propaganda move. It's to say to the world, the US is supporting Ukraine, this is a 1 Billion dollar investment. But one Patriot battery has launchers for ~24 missiles and ~100 missiles to reload those launchers. How is that going to make a difference when Iran delivers the 2,400 drones and 1000 missiles? And when does shooting down a 200K Russian missile with a 4 million dollar Patriot missile a smart move? The Patriot system has undergone numerous upgrades, most likely the unit being sent is an obsolete unit that the Army was going to retire. But the propaganda value of the patriot is 100X the actual military value in this war. That's why every US media organization has to talk about it. Gen Milley effectively said Ukraine can't win, should negotiate a peace deal. And that's because the US is running out of ammo (155mm shells, HiMars rockets etc.) And Russia will have 1000's of drones and missiles when it resumes the offensive. Does the US have an answer to 1000's of new drones? Or will the US just let Ukrainian soldiers be slaughtered? If the US has an effective response to 1000's of drones from Iran, it's keeping it a closely held secret. (as it should) That secret will be revealed when Russia starts its offensive. And whether that secret actually works or not, the propaganda will say it does.

  38. Russia's intent with its military build up is to deter Ukraine's 2.5 billion in military aid from the US from being used against the Donbass. This has been very clear from the start. The US has been frustarted Ukraine hasn't try to take over the Donbass. Even more frustrated that Russia hasn't attacked. The intent of the US is to levy sanctions against Europe (I mean Russia) to cripple Russia and Europe's economies. There will be some blow back to the US economy. Some in the US state department think the hit to the US economy will cause Biden to lose reelection. But the neocons don't care whether Biden loses a GOP president will continue this policy.

  39. So they'll use patriot missiles to shoot down Iranian drones? Since when does that make sense? (to shoot down a $20K with a $3M missile? And if we send 20 patriot missiles they shoot down 20 drones/missiles, what about the other 2,380 drones Russia ordered from Iran? And what about the Hawk anti-aircraft missiles built in the 1960's?

  40. Retired col is lying through his teeth. Cluster munitions are mostly useless in Ukraine because both sides have extensive trench networks. Because of this Russia does NOT use cluster munittions in Ukraine, not because they're nice guys but because they are inefective. Our cluster munitions will kill/injur 30X more civilians than Russian soldiers. Some simple arithmetic. Say a cluster bomb disperses 1000 bomblets across an area 200m*200m directly over a Russian Zig Zag Trench. On average 2-3 of those will fall within 5m of a Russian Soldier. But with 5% dud there will be 50 bomblets that can kill/injure civilians in the future. 50 civilian casualties for every military casualty. Russia doesn't use cluster bombs in Ukraine. If the cluster bomb is not directly over the trench, zero casualties in the trench, 50 civilians later. This is both stupid, and a war crime.

  41. Economic weapons never to be used again? Did you forget Cuba, Iran, Venezvual? The economic war against China (Huawei, and 100's of other Chinese companies, and the Semiconductor ban)? And the neocons are pushing Taiwan to declare independence and become a very tragic Ukraine 2.0. The BRICS are working on an alternative to the US dollar as the global reserve currency. When (not if) that succeeds US will no longer be able to export it's inflation and the staggering 31 trillion debt will cause a global collapse.

  44. War crimes. The US invades Iraq, kills 200,000 civilians in year 1 and 1 million civilians after 10 years. War crimes? War crimes are charged against those we lose the war. Russia hasn't lost yet, they're winning. But the reason for provoking Russia to invade is to convince Europeans to place sanctions against Russia. The economic war is the real war. Zelensky is trying to negotiate a peace. But if peace broke out, Europeans wouldn't want to continue the sanctions and they would never agree to stop gas/oil purchases. So the US willl NEVER allow peace to happen in Ukraine (unless Russia collapses first). But the economic war is being fought on multiple fronts. The Saudis will start accepting the Yuan for oil So far they and the UAE are unwilling to increase oil production. India is backing Russia. With the freezing of Russian assets in western banks and the SWIFT ban every country is looking for alternatives to the US dollar for international trade. Is this war the end of the Russian Federation or is it the end of US global hegemony? That's not clear yet.

  45. The Pentagon and US think tanks have done dozens of war games on China's invasion. One shown on YTube and likely typical of of the war game simulations show the 1st strike is not against Taiwan but against Okinawa and Guam. In many, scenarios Japanese military bases not just American bases in Japan would be hit. To avoid a 1st strike agains Okinawa and Guam, the US maintains strategic ambiguity policy. The NEOCON playbook is to get Taiwan to declare independence to "trigger" an invasion to repeat what's happening in Taiwan, without a 1st strike on Okinawa and Guam. That will not be the case if China does eve invade.

  46.  @Steve.Zeinoddin  IRIS-T rocket is $500K. A full battery with 24 missiles, radar and fire control computer all on mobile vehicles is $200M. One IRIS-T costing 200M can take out 1% of the 2400 drones Russia has ordered from Iran.

  48. Sy Hersh in his article saying Biden personally authorized the bombing of Nord Stream also reported that Jens Stoltenberg (NATO chief) has been a CIA asset for decades. Quite likely J. Wu is as well. US neocons tell the story that China will invade sooner or later. Taiwan will be Ukraine 2.0, where 100,000+ Taiwanese will die because freedom is not free. Taiwanese disagree. A pole in feb 2023 of Taiwanese, a large majority of them said do not trust the US because the US will drag Taiwan into a proxy war between China and the US. A number of US congressmen went to Taiwan as Pres Tsai was visitng the US. The US congressmen were met with 1000's of demonstrators telling them to go home. Taiwan does not want to fight a war to preserve the US empire's global hegemony. Start a war with China but leave Taiwan out of it. China has not been practicing invading Taiwan, it's been practicing blockading Taiwan. A blockade of Chips from Taiwan to the US/Mexico/Canada will bring manufacturing to a halt. The quuote of Robert OBrian (Trump nat sec advisor) saying the US should Bomb TSMC if China looks like it will gain control of the Island is one of the reasons Taiwanese (who are not CIA assets) will be voting against Pres Tsai's party in the next election.

  49. Zelensky was looking for excuses not to attack, need more tanks, more IFV, more ammo, need f-16's need 50 Patriot bateries. But hte neocons told him, you have to attack now, we're losing credibiliy about taking back crimea. Ukrinae has to keep fighting and dying because we have to keep the sandtions on RUssia. It's Ukraine's job to keep fighting an ddying.

  50. Many americans think they can dictate terms to anyone because they have the most powerful miltary. Their propaganda has told them so for decades. The US is not afraid to use its military. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria. and before that Vietnam. The US has started more more in the last recent 20~30 years than all other countries combined. Within the US neocon establishment, the CIA wants to declare war on Russia. The Pentagon is adamantly opposed. If we're that strong, we wouldn't be fighing a proxy war.
