  3. After Macron ignited the firestorm with his batty remarks, a mixed signal farrago of ‘corrections’ and clarifications ensued. But at the same time, on another vector he dropped an even bigger bombshell than before—that France may be forced to intervene if Russian forces began to approach Odessa or Kiev: That’s right, folks. Once again we have confirmation of my longest holding prediction that NATO would draw its red line at Odessa and would potentially intervene if Russian troops are realistically positioned to capture the city. In this case Rothschild stooge Macron seems intent on leading from the front with a wishful thinking campaign designed to generate solidarity around his ‘bold’ declarations. And the French Defense Minister countermanded his own boss’s words, which appears to suggest that Macron is making statements not approved by his own military: The Italian Ministry of Defense likewise seemed to rule it out: In reality, NATO can be said to be getting weaker by the year, with constant cuts to forces all across the board. So will the latest threats of buildups pan out? Probably not, as NATO stands slightly better chance to collapse than reinvent itself as a superpower, in my estimations. But as a reminder that NATO troops have already been in Ukraine, there’s this new note with complementary maps showing American operations since 2014: Of course, next we have the fact that the Matron of Maidan—or is that the Maiden of Maidan?—Nuland is getting the boot: And is being replaced with the guy who was hurriedly ad hoc’d into helming the ‘disastrous’ Afghanistan pullout: Then we have the biggest developments of all: Russia has been on an absolute killing spree of NATO air defense and other ‘prestige’ systems, with the Patriot reportedly being the latest victim yesterday—confirmed by Forbes: By the way, isn’t it interesting how Patriots easily “shot down” all those Kinzhals—a far superior, upgraded version of the Iskander—over Kiev, yet here a measly Iskander put the Patriot out to pasture? Just food for thought. But what is my point here? HIMARS, Abrams, Patriots, and everything in between are now getting obliterated each day. Time is running out, with Ukrainian opposition openly plotting against Zelensky who many expect to be overthrown come May. Meanwhile, Russia continues to only get stronger, with production ramping up all the time. In light of all the talk of NATO entering the war against Russia, Russian journalist Kharchenko astutely points out that this would open Pandora’s box because Russian society has been so conditioned against the eschatological level ‘Armageddon’ battle against NATO—and are incidentally so united now in solidarity—that the war would be nearly welcomed, taking up the banner of a new Great Patriotic War that would galvanize all Russian society like never before. No one in Europe would know would hit them, as Europeans are at one of their morally lowest points in history. This would be a disaster for the West and likely a replay of 1917, with Europe playing the part of the Russian Empire at the time of revolution—I full agree with the sentiment: - Simplicius

  5. WHY RUSSIA IS DEFEATING NATO AS WELL AS UKRAINE Rather than hang around and catch the blame for the loss of Ukraine, I think Nuland decided to grab a parachute and jump out of the Biden policy plane before it crashes. Nuland is not stupid. She may be a strident ideologue, but she also can read the tea leaves and realize that Ukraine’s days are numbered. She has been around Washington long enough to know how the blame game works and probably decided to hit the bricks and prepare a defense. She wants to live to fight again. The neo-con crowd that Nuland runs with are a shameless lot. They never admit being wrong and are skilled at producing a counter narrative that will blame Biden and the Republicans, especially Trump, for destroying Ukraine’s chances for victory. My friends at the Duran offer an alternative explanation — she was pushed out. One of the key developments on the war front in Ukraine in the last couple of weeks is Russia’s success in destroying what remains of Ukraine’s scant air defense systems. There is video evidence of the destruction of Himars and Patriot systems. The further degradation of Ukraine’s air defense systems means that Russia is able to use swarms of drones to hit key targets and conserve its stock of hypersonic missiles. The Russian General Staff is busy planning contingencies to deal with the possible scenario of having to fight NATO forces and will want to have an ample supply of hypersonics that will overwhelm and defeat Western counter measures. Another big arrow in the Russian quiver are the glide bombs. These are being used with devastating effectiveness to blow massive holes in what remains of Ukraine’s defensive lines. The combination of glide bombs and drones as part of a broader combined arms operation has Ukraine on its heels and headed backwards towards the Dnieper River. - Sonar21
