Sorry for the paucity of posting, been a busy week and next week includes a wedding for one of our Amish families so it likely will be as well.
While the Ukraine war has fallen out of favor with the elites, although a few ‘tards still have Ukrainian flags in their user names, the war isn’t getting much coverage in the media. From what I have gathered it has devolved into what looks a lot like two different wars being fought at the same time:
- Ukraine is very low on manpower and conventional munitions so their focus is on civilian targets and infrastructure in Russia herself. Incapable of pushing the Russian forces out of Ukraine they are trying to cause enough economic pain to force Russia to capitulate. I guess no one in Ukraine has read a history book covering the Eastern front in World War II because the Russians thrive on misery.
- The Russians are just pummeling Kiev and other cities with ballistic missiles and Ukraine has no interceptors to even try to stop them, not that they were all that effective to begin with. Meanwhile Russian forces keep grinding through Ukrainian territory.
- At the same time, our noble “defender of democracy” buddy Zelensky is saying that in order to protect democracy in Ukraine they can’t possibly have elections: Zelensky Says Wartime Elections Would ‘Destroy’ Ukraine, The Purported Bastion Of Democracy. One would suspect that in real elections Zelensky would lose badly and his shelf life in Ukraine would be coming to an end.
That is the battlefield situation. Yesterday something weird happened. Rumors yesterday swirled when a U.S. military C-17 landed in Moscow. Now a C-17 is a pretty big plane, capable of hauling 170,00 pounds of cargo or over a 100 soldiers or even a couple of Bradleys or a tank. Then it was revealed that the plane was carrying CIA Director John Ratcliffe for “secret” meetings with his Russian counterparts.
This is where my question comes in. Why the hell did John Ratcliffe fly to Moscow in one of those monsters?
I assume the government has a bunch of Gulfstreams or some other private jet that he could have flown on that would have been more comfortable for him and his entourage and used a fraction of the fuel.
Maybe some former/current dot mil people can chime in here. Is it a security thing, because a C-17 to me seems a lot easier to hit with a SAM than a much smaller and faster Gulfstream.
Anyway, whatever he was doing there it didn’t seem to work as we are hearing now that Russia plans to escalate their attacks on Ukraine: Putin To Escalate Ukraine War In Wake Of CIA Chief’s Visit, Report Speculates
Russia is preparing to escalate attacks on Ukraine after concluding that negotiations for a peace deal have reached a dead end, according to three people close to the Kremlin.
For now, Russia is weighing an intensification of powerful conventional ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv, including the center of the capital, and infrastructure targets in other Ukrainian cities, the people said, asking not to be identified because the matter is sensitive.
Well done Director Ratcliffe!
It may not seem like it but Russia hasn’t been fighting a total war against Ukraine yet. There isn’t anything to stop Russia from basically leveling Kiev completely but they haven’t done so for whatever reason. I don’t know how long that forbearance will last.
Whatever all of this means, it seems certain that the grinding war in Ukraine will continue with more Whites being killed by other Whites every day. It would be a real shame if Russia were to drop a ballistic missile on Zelensky in the near future, that might finally lead to an end to this war as short of direct NATO interaction there is no plausible scenario where Ukraine recovers lost territory and every day that goes by means more lost ground and more dead Ukrainians, leading to a demographic genocide that will likely never be fixed and that seems likely to be one of the points of this fiasco from the start.
Over at American Partisan, they said that there were American autos with government plates seen driving in Moscow. So, it appears some government vehicles were in the plane. Probably out of concern for espionage and shit. AP also said something about The director talking to putin about not using nuclear weapons. As in, “do not use nukes”. That’s all I’ve read about the situation and I im sure others know more than I.
I’m hoping that the meeting was a ultimatum delivered by Russia to the US contingent to stop fucking around by funding and supplying Ukraine with the means to hit civilian targets well inside Russia, or there will be real consequences. I still maintain that if Russia completely leveled DC and the vicinity with Hypersonics, it would be the greatest day in American history in over a century. If that’s the message that was delivered to Ratcliffe, that would be great.
Concur. Nothing will be lost of any actual value to real Americans. Bonus points if congress, senate AND the supreme court are all in session. Wouldn’t want any of those shitbags left out.
Please add Jew York, Filthadelohia, Apelanta, Nig Orleans, Detroilet, Chicongo, San Fransicko and L.A./Hymiewood to D.C.
Well call that a good start.
Well I would concur with that position in theory, I try to keep my expectations realistic. (Chuckle).
Who knows what he was talking about. I would think Putin would’ve told him he knows what we are up to and to quit it. Far as any negotiation, it won’t happen. I like the Russian description of us as an “unreliable partner”. They know we never keep our word, and certainly never have with them.
Same with the Iranians. We punked them twice. Why in the world would they listen to a word we say now? They know they don’t have to ‘win’. They simply have to hold on and be a thorn in Trump’s side until the mid-terms. BTW – It’s generally not the shias that have caused us misery over the years. It’s the sunnis. Shias have been after Israel more than us.
Back to Putin. If I were him, I’d say “Nice missile factory you have there. Shame if something were to happen to it.” Tell us to knock the shit off targeting Russian targets for Ukraine or else.
