Munich Clown Show: Rubio promises to make EU and NATO great again

Marco Rubio spent half an hour trying to convince the Euro-elites that 500 years of Western domination, so rudely interupted by the post-WW2 anti-colonialism movements, need not be over! Nosirree! Europe and America, united by our commmon Christian heritage, can prevail over the dark forces of communism and Islamofascism. Together, we can ride the glory train of Empire for another 500 years! The Europeans greeted Lil Marco's insights with a standing ovation! This does not bode well for Mark Carney's quest to find "like-minded Liberal democracies" with whom we can form an alliance independent of the US. Looks to me like Stormer, Micron, and Schmertz would like nothing more than to turn back the clock to a time when they found safety huddled under Uncle Sam's nuclear umbrella. Who needs a defence budget when America does 99% of the heavy lifting? Trump's demand that the vassals bump defence spending to 5% of GDP is seen, now, as a small price to pay to keep NATO alive. Whatever "like-minded democracies" Carney thought he saw in Europe are revealing themselves to be nothing more than abject boot-lickers. The leaders of the E3, each of them struggling with single-digit approval ratings, would happily enough trade all their tomorrows for just a little more yesterday, to paraphrase an old Janis Joplin tune. Speaking of Janis, did you know she's in the Epstein files? Yup, Jeffrey was all of nine years old when Janis was born! Also in those files is the bitter old hag who was once expected, at least by the cool kids, to smash the glass ceiling and be the first woman elected president of the world's greatest democracy. Lesser nations have had female PMs and presidents and chancellors for decades, but it remains a bridge too far in America... maybe in the next 500 years! Unlike Janis, Hillary's cadaver was actually on stage in Munich to reveal her plan to force Putin's capitulation by saturating Russian airspace with Tomahawk cruise missiles. That's the kind of fresh new thinking that's guaranteed to get the next 500 years of Western Exceptionalism off to a rip-roaring start!

Globe & Mail opinion writers express their Canadian patriotism by calling Trump names

In particular, their glee over Carney's alleged calling out of Trump at Davos doesn't appear to be based on what our PM actually said. A careful reading shows Carney was calling out the "rules-based international order," which he claims has been a fiction "for decades." In other words, long before Trump. Good on Carney for that. The prevailing view, not only in the pages of the Globe but at the CBC, is that the rules-based order was chugging along, happily bringing peace and prosperity, American style, to all who dare to sip from the cup of Freedom, Democracy, and American hegemony, until the wicked and evil and insane rapist and probable child molester Donald Trump got his tiny grubby hands around its throat. As Carney rightfully pointed out, that's been bullshit for decades. Canadian elites, American Empire Loyalists all, believe Trump is the problem, and that absent a Trump victory in '24, Canadians would still be basking in the eternal sunshine of perpetual rule of the Clintons' Democratic Party machine. Grow up! If that's not enough, quite a few patriotic pundits are taking oodles of umbrage at Trump's claim that some of the NATO allies did their best to avoid the heavy lifting in Afghanistan. Does he have a point? All 30 NATO members contributed troops to the International Security Assistance Force, yet only two members, USA and UK, sustained 90% of combat fatalities (Canada had 3rd highest total). On a per-capita basis, Estonia, Denmark, US and UK are the only members with more casualties than Canada's 4.7 per million. Compare that to 1.4 in France, .88 in Italy, .76 in Germany, and a miniscule .09 for Belgium, home of NATO's HQ! Trump is obviously right; many NATO partners have been content to let other's do the heavy lifting.

Happy New Year! Welcome to Annus Horribilis Maximus!

We're not talking about your visit to the proctologist here. I'm thinking 2026 is shaping up to be a watershed year. There is no happiness in the new year for a great slice of humanity. For a lot of them, this is no big deal, because when have they ever had a happy new year? I'm talking about the 3rd world/global south crowd who perpetually get the short end of the stick when it comes to sharing the fruits of modernity etc. But many of us, accustomed to being on the winning side always, are in for a rude shock. This is a good news - bad news story. The bad news, in a nutshell, is 500 years of Anglo-European domination is winding down. The American Empire is visibly wobbling, economically, militarily, and politically. That's also the good news. What has happened in Ukraine is that the entire USA-NATO brand has been exposed as a paper tiger. Great! We no longer have to knock ourselves out to hit those Trump-imposed 5% NATO spending targets! Free at last! Free at last! The good news is the death of NATO frees up a shitload of money to address the many crises Canada faces. On top of that loss of all military cred in Ukraine, the coming year promises the implosion of the AI bubble. For all practical purposes China has already won the AI race. There you have it. Maximum Horribilis for the Empire and its dependencies, like Israel and NATO; happy days for the rest of the world. Happy New Year!

Trump's new National Security Strategy concedes victory to Russia and China

Haven't seen a lot of commentary in Canadian media on what is a truly remarkable document. I read it as a death knell for NATO. The "Laurentian Elite," aka the American Empire Loyalists who occupy the heights of Canadian media and academia, must be soiling their adult diapers. The Yanks look to be handing off Ukraine to their European allies. That's unfair to the allies, because their enthusiasm for the war was only possible because Uncle Sam was promising "whatever it takes for as long as it takes." That was four years ago, when that claim was yet fresh and plausible. Four years and a million or so dead Ukrainians later, that claim has been decisively debunked. The combined NATO didn't have what it would have taken. What the NSS makes plain is that America no longer aspires to World Hegemon. That's the good news. The bad news is they're doubling down on the Monroe Doctrine. That means whipping the western hemisphere into shape. I think this will backfire. Trump's bullying of Latin America will unite the continent in solidarity against the US. This is already visible in comments coming from Colombia with respect to the "narco-terrorist" confection. Petro, largely seen as a Yanqui stooge, is standing with Maduro. What should Canada's approach to these new realities be? When you look at a map you see we're situated between Russia and the USA. Any de-escalation between them can only be a positive for us.

The folly of trying to spend our way into Donald Trump's good graces

Mark Carney has a two-part strategy to get Canada off Trump’s shit list. It’s been a humiliating ordeal for every decent Canuck to hear those “51st state” jibes over and over again, even after our king politely hinted to the American king that many Canadians didn’t like it. Part one is spending a shit-load of money on what we call “defence.” This is considered a viable strategy because we know one thing Mafia Don really and truly respects, even more than women with big boobs, is shit-loads of money. Part two is hiding Part one from decent Trump-hating Canadians. Hence the “mis-direction” about turning to Europe for defence partnerships. That’s kinda rich, because, while CBC and the Globe would rather keep you in the dark, every leader in NATO is literally begging Trump to re-commit to America’s leadership role. That’s because they know they don’t have a hope of vanquishing Putin without him. The bad news is they won’t defeat Russia with him either. Here’s some numbers NATO fans should keep in mind. In 2021, the year before Putin’s full-scale and fully unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, combined NATO/USA military spending was 1.22 trillion USD. Russia’s was $66 billion. By 2024, Russian military spending had more than doubled, to 149 billion USD. That’s an $80B USD boost. NATO spending went from 1.2 T to 1.56 T. In other words, while Russia bumped spending by 80 billions, NATO bumped spending by almost 400 billions. And what happened on the ground in those two years? NATO and their Ukrainian patsies are making Russia look great again, that’s what! The only reason the war continues is because admitting defeat would mean the end of NATO, and there are far too many Important People collecting fat pay packets to ever allow that to happen. ONWARD FREE AND DEMOCRATIC NATIONS - TO THE LAST UKRAINIAN!

The Triumph of Stupid

Jul 05, 2025 As all but the most pitiful imbecile could have predicted, now that Boy Carnage has bought wholesale into Trump’s 5% protection racket, we are getting the full court press from the thought leaders at CBC and the Globe on how we might pay for all these goodies. The goodies in question being 88 F-35s at $100million a pop; 12 submarines at, conservatively, 4 billion $ per hull, and 15 surface combatants. The last batch of warships ended up costing a billion per hull, and that was thirty+ years ago. Not to mention further gazillions for tanks and troop carriers and drones. All told, we’re looking at at least $500 billions in “defence” spending over the next ten years. Already some of the sharper pundits are mooting “increased taxes and spending cuts,” as in spending on the usual frills-we-gotta-cut; education, health care, and housing. Why? So we can face down the threat from Russia! Frankly, it’s a little late for that. Since February of ‘22 Russia has methodically eliminated the best weapons systems in the US-NATO arsenal. They have proven technical superiority in hypersonics, drones, and air defence. American commentators outside of the “mainstream” routinely posit that US/Western missile tech is decades behind Russia. That’s what happens when you spend ten years fine-tuning your pronoun protocols while the Rooskies are fine-tuning their hypersonics. And that’s just Russia’s advantage at the high-tech end. Artillery shells are pretty much as old as gunpowder, but the US/NATO/ glorious defenders of freedom and democracy can’t figure out how to build them. Apparently there’s a new production line in Texas that’s gonna pump out 30,000 155 shells per month when they work the bugs out of the system. Meanwhile, Russia worked the bugs out of their arty production during the WWII and has no trouble producing 300,000 per month. In a pinch, they can also import from their allies, of which, contrary to the bullshit our msm has been serving up, they actually have quite a few. This idea that we must gird our loins for war with Russia seems criminally stupid to me. They already whupped NATO in Ukraine. Let’s admit that and move on! After all, if you look at a map, or even better, a globe, geography parks us smack-dab between Russia and the USA. That’s a fact that screams out for Canadian neutrality.

Is NATO over?

That wasn’t a mere turd JD Vance dropped in the punchbowl in Munich last week; that was a full-on double-barreled shit. So, is NATO over? It should have been over 35 years ago, obviously, but keeping it chugging along served a useful purpose for the American Empire. It made America’s adventures in Yugoslavia and Libya look like there was more behind them than America’s lust for destruction. It also kept the money flowing to America’s military contractors. As anyone even peripherally acquainted with the facts of the Ukraine war will know, without Washington’s policy of NATO expansion, there would have been no war. Lucky for Uncle Sam, NATO has long absorbed the Baltic chihuahua’s, whose ever-shrinking populations haven’t diluted their historical Russophobia. Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, with a combined population less than the greater Toronto area, and no military capabilities to speak of, are the loudest voices for war with Russia in all of NATO. So it’s no surprise they were blindsided when Vance broke the news Washington doesn’t love them anymore. It’s quite a slap in the face to the American Empire Loyalists in the heights of media and academia in Canada. Until very recently, we were treated to multiple Globe and Mail opinion writers exhorting us almost daily that we need to spend gazillions of dollars on fighter jets and submarines so we can “stand with our allies.” Now that we understand how Uncle Sam really feels about us, ie, 51st state if we’re lucky, we’ve suddenly realized all those sacrifices to the national treasury we’ve been demanding, would be made so we can “stand with” Latvia and Lithuania? And we haven’t even got to the best part; Trump and Putin are now solving the Ukraine war without consulting the EU, NATO, or even Ukraine. This absolutely, positively, has to be the last nail in NATO’s coffin. But yet… Just how frightened are the vassals now that Uncle Sam has dumped his Ukraine war in their laps? Are they scared enough to cough up 5% of GDP for US weaponry? Are the scared enough to up that to 10% if the Empire demands it? I have a hunch Trump-Putin negotiations may not end to America’s liking. Uncle Sam could well need a posse again in the near future. If so, look for a lot of kissy-face hypocrisy as the Big Dog and the poodles make up.

Uncle Sam: destroyer of nations

The trail of destruction goes back decades. Uncle Sam has wrought his magic from the Korean peninsula to the Caribbean to the Middle East. The carnage continues. American senator and perennial War Pig Lindsey Graham was in Munich this week, spreading the word about freedom and democracy, and in a sit-down with Ukraine’s Zelensky, thanked him for sacrificing hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians so that no American’s had to die to bleed Russia. Zelensky sat there like a scared rabbit and took that abuse. Left to its own devices, Ukraine would never have provoked a war with Russia. But no, we could not resist. The US spent billions subverting democracy in Ukraine. John McCain and Vicky Nuland handed out sweets in the Maidan! Once our ultra-nationalist pets were in place, we promised them the moon! NATO membership! EU membership! Everything it takes for as long as it takes to put Putin in the dustbin of history once and for all! Three years and a million dead Ukrainians later, Uncle Sam is harumphing about Zelensky’s lack of appreciation for everything we’ve done for him. Ukraine isn’t the only country being destroyed by Uncle Sam’s war on Russia. Germany, the industrial heartland of Europe ever since WWII, is rapidly de-industrializing. Why? Because some unknown entity destroyed the Nordstream pipeline! Now Germany relies on LNG shipments from America that cost four times what they used to pay for Russian gas. But, according to geopolitical geniuses like Sholtz and Baerbock, that’s actually a blow for freedom and democracy! And so it goes… The clearly ridiculous becomes an article of faith, and as Lindsey Graham reminds us, it’s all worth it to save American lives while we defeat tyranny and preserve freedom in the world.

Globe & Mail once again bullshitting us about Ukraine disaster

One of the top knobs at the Globe brain trust offers a masterpiece of revisionist history in his Saturday op-ed; Toxic myths about Ukraine are poisoning its future. Here are the toxic myths, or “three malicious fictions about 2014,” as Doug Saunders puts it. There was a coup in 2014 The coup involved NATO The United States and its officials interfered You need to read the whole thing yourself to fully appreciate Doug’s nuanced grasp of geopolitics, but here’s his concluding paragraph, just to give you a taste; Talk of Ukraine joining NATO, and of significant Western support, didn’t really begin until after Mr. Putin’s second invasion in 2022. A decade ago, the Americans and NATO both wanted to stay away from Ukraine. Far from the “Western expansion” fictions, the fate of Ukraine was left to Ukrainians. Oddly enough, NATO itself contradicts Doug’s nonsense. Check out Relations with Ukraine on their website. Here’s a quote; In response to Ukraine’s aspirations for NATO membership, Allies agreed at the 2008 Bucharest Summit that Ukraine will become a member of NATO. According to Doug, 2008 was the year NATO made it “clear they did not want Kyiv in the alliance!” I don’t want to rush to judgement, but it looks like the Globe is publishing bullshit again. Here’s the text of my letter to the editor. To: Letters The historical record reveals Mr. Saunders' "three malicious fictions" are themselves toxic myths.  Saunders claims that the infamous Nuland-Pyatt recordings, widely interpreted as America choosing the next government, was made after Yanukovych "stepped down," and was merely "expressing her wish that more democratic candidates would prevail -as one would hope any diplomat would." In fact, the tape was released on February 4th, Yanukovych "stepped down" on February 21st, and the candidate favored by Nuland and Pyatt was president by the end of the month. Nuland also claimed in 2014 that the US had invested over $5 billion in "promoting democracy" in Ukraine since 1991. The claim that "talk of joining NATO didn't really begin until 2022" is equally spurious. The Globe and Mail archives reveal an abundance of stories and op-eds that focused on exactly that, going back at least as far as the early days of the Harper government. It is relentless American interference(with the enthusiastic support of Canada) in the internal politics of Ukraine that has poisoned its future. Dieter Neumann

Mysteries of the "deep state"

As you know, the folks who run America’s democracy theatre have a big event coming up in a few weeks; the election. You know the main characters; in the red corner, the Black Hat, Donald J Trump. And in the blue corner, the White Hat, Kamala. Due to the limited intelligence of the average American voter, the script-writers like to keep things simple enough that your typical WWE enthusiast can follow the action. Polls tell us the race is too close to call. In order to shake things up, the brain trust running the White Hat’s campaign sent her out on a media blitz recently. I’ve seen the Opra interview, the 60 Minutes interview, and her appearances on Colbert and The View. Sending Kamala out to meet the people has been, in my opinion, a tragic mistake. The woman has exposed herself as a complete airhead. “So what will be your policy priorities, Kamala?” “Well… before I address that, I just want to say how much I love the American people. I grew up in a middle class home, and you know, ambition and work ethic! I love the American people because we have dreams… we have aspirations… we work hard… we have dreams…” Other than that, and badmouthing Trump, she ain’t got nuthin! Meanwhile, what’s the Black Hat up to? As we know, Trump is a bad guy who can’t wait to end democracy in America. What do you expect from a Putin fanboy? And he’s ready to stab Ukraine in the back! Who can even imagine such an outrage? Ukraine, the plucky little country fighting Putin so democracy can survive, not just in Ukraine, but all over the world! And Trump wants to pull the plug on our support for this bravest of all democratic nations! And let’s not forget that Trump’s number one backer is the odious Elon Musk, the world’s richest man! The man who bought liberal, freedom-loving Twitter, and turned it into a hate-spewing fascist propaganda organ! There you have the broad outlines of the narrative, the plot, so to speak, for the Big Show. Now let me step back for a moment and play theatre critic. Aside from being the world’s richest man, and an enthusiastic promoter of far-right conspiracy theories, who is Elon Musk? Why, he’s the beneficiary of $hundreds of billions in financial support from the US government for his various deep-state-adjacent enterprises. Like Space-X. If you suspect NASA was privatized and Elon ended up with it, you wouldn’t be wrong. Which brings me to the Atlantic Council. That’s the “intellectual” think-tank arm of NATO. It is funded by the US government and a gaggle of defence contractors. It is 100% committed to the doctrine of American exceptionalism and is a “deep state” creature through and through. Every year, on the occasion of the UNGA shindig in NYC, the Atlantic Council celebrates a few world leaders for their service to Empire by bestowing upon them the “Global Citizen Award.” This year, one of the recipients of the Global Citizen Award was PM of Italy, Georgia Meloni. If you recall, when she was elected, the mainstream media couldn’t give you enough scare stories about how she was the reincarnation of Mussolini! Pro-Putin and anti-American! Fortunately, on winning the election, she came to her senses and soon embraced the urgency of standing with Ukraine for as long as it takes. And who presented her the award? None other than that anti-establishment rebel, Elon Musk! Yup, the same guy bankrolling Donald Trump, the anti-establishment once-and-future swamp-drainer! Wow! Well, clearly this two-horse race could go either way. Luckily for freedom, democracy, and human rights, these two diametrically opposed candidates can agree on one crucial thing; they both 100% support Israel, no matter what.

NATO must send troops to Ukraine, or face catastrophic defeat

Here’s a stunning revelation from old-school American Empire Uber Alles warhawk Edward Luttwak. This is a dude who used to get his opinion bits into the NYT and the WSJ whenever he wanted. The fact you’re now reading him on UK alt news websites tells us he’s pissed off some powerful people. That totally boosts his credibility in my estimation. Enough with my two cents. Here’s Luttwak’s essay; It's time to put NATO troops in Ukraine. That sure would put Canada up a stump, eh? We can’t even hit recruitment numbers when we’re clearing snow and fighting forest fires. Who’s gonna sign up to get vaporized by a 2000lb Russian glide bomb for… Ukraine? These past few years have seen a great remake of the CAF. Instead of the old-timey shit like following orders and stuff, the Forces have been remade into a safe space where you are welcome to explore and develop your unique personality. The new approach has yet to goose recruitment, so Canada will once again be humiliated in front of our NATO allies. Well, better to be humiliated in front of our allies than be vaporized…

Justin Trudeau must resign and his advisers must be fired

The past year and a half has not been kind to NATO, nor to Justin’s role within it. In spite of the triumphalism expressed by the likes of Jens Stoltenberg over NATO’s expansion to Finland and Sweden, the 18 months of war with Russia has revealed an unfortunate truth; the military manufacturing capacity of the combined NATO countries, USA included, cannot produce the munitions Ukraine needs to remain viable on the battlefield. “Everything you need for as long as it takes” was a PR jingle and nothing more. Trudeau’s reputation within that paper tiger was already in tatters. It was Trump who called Canada out as one of the free-loading member states, and this is as true now as it was then. What then must be the opinion of the senior members of the alliance when the bushy-tailed loudmouth Fluffy creates an international incident with India? And such an unnecessary incident. When the hit went down three months ago, informed observers would have pegged the odds at least 50-50 that India was behind it. Countries have long eliminated “terrorists” on foreign soil. Israel does it all the time. The USA killed bin Laden in Pakistan. The problem is, as always, that one man’s terrorist is the other guy’s freedom fighter. From the Indian perspective, advocates for an independent Khalistan are terrorists, and they have the same right to rub out Hardeep Singh Nijjar as the American’s had to dispatch bin Laden. The fact that neither Trudeau nor his team appreciated the gravity of what they have unleashed reveals that our foreign policy is in the hands of inept buffoons. It’s time to shut down amateur hour and bring in some grown-ups.

High hopes and wishful thinking

The not-so-dynamic duo of Allan Rock and Lloyd Axworthy graced us with an op-ed in the Globe today, all about how we need to bring NATO to the Arctic to make the Rooskies back off. It's OUR Arctic, after all. In what was essentially a pro-NATO anti-Russia screed, Roxworthy claimed the Ukraine war proved the importance of NATO. Really? Looks to me a lot more like it has proved the impotence, incompetence, and irrelevance of NATO. NATO's war on Russia isn't going very well, in case you haven't noticed. For a year and a half we've been told our erstwhile flunkies in Ukraine need just a few more months and a few more billions worth of weapons, and the forces of freedom and human rights will prevail. We're at 18 months and about $150 billions by now, and by all accounts things seem to be trending in the wrong direction for the Nations of Virtue, the forces of freedom and democracy, etc. But not to worry... a few more years and a few more trillions should make things right...

Zelensky goes home with lots of promises but no candy

Looks like Zelly pretty much struck out in Vilnius. “Our thoughts and prayers are with you, pal, now piss off”! How long do you figure it’ll take for the ultra-nationalist factions in Ukraine to wake up to the fact that they and all Ukrainians have been used, abused, and betrayed by USA/NATO? The wake-up call is long overdue. From the get-go Ukraine’s Western “allies” slow-walked every military assistance package. Ukraine was pleading with NATO to close the skies since the first days of the war. It took over a year to get limited commitments of F-16 fighters, and none have arrived in country. Meanwhile, Ukraine was pressured into showing results for our grudging release of a few hundred main battle tanks, AFVs, and artillery, all of which are essentially useless without air cover. And now we lecture Ukraine about how they need to show more gratitude? Once the ultranationalist factions appreciate the gravity of their betrayal, they’ll hate America and NATO more than they hate the Orcs. There will be payback.

Why Canada's "inadequate" defence spending won't get it kicked out of NATO

The CBC has a scary story on view about how our NATO allies may soon tire of Canada’s reluctance to ramp up military spending to 2% of GDP. As Donald Trump pointed out a few years ago, neither Canada nor many other NATO members reach the 2% threshold. It’s big news across our media that, according to recent leaks, PM Fluffy has allegedly told allies Canada will never meet its funding obligations. That’s led to much tut-tutting from defence industry funded think tanks like the Council of Defence Associations. Unsurprisingly, they’re gung-ho for more military spending! Why? Well, apparently we’re not standing close enough to our allies in the fight for human rights and democracy playing out in Ukraine. They expect more from us. They do? According to NATO, in 2022, only seven of 30 member states met the 2% target. That’s 3/4ths of the entire club that didn't! Canada is in good company. In fact, the freeloaders make a robust majority! When three-quarters of your club are outcasts, you’ve got a problem! Trump’s problem, shared by CBC and Globe & Mail “journalists” today, is that USA is paying twice as much to secure freedom and democracy as the rest of NATO combined. Given that NATO has been reduced to an arm of US foreign policy, I think the Americans should pay 100% of the costs. The vassal states are doing their part by giving NATO a gloss of multilateralism. Why should they pay cash on top of giving up their sovereignty?

Drunk Polish farmer blows up load of fertilizer with stray ciggy butt, international incident ensues

The news channels are abuzz with Russia's missile attack on Poland. Al Jazeera has offereed extensive footage of the missile strike zone. If that was the handiwork of the Rooskies, they must have used their smallest missiles. All I see is a farm wagon tipped over, but still attached to the tractor that was towing it at the time of the missile strike. The tractor does not appear to be damaged. What's more likely is there was an unfortunate farm accident in Poland, and it is being used as a talking point to fan WWIII flames. "Oh my God Putin has attacked a NATO member and now they gotta invoke Article 5." Well, even if it was a deliberate Russian missile attack on a remote Polish cornfield, nobody is actually obliged to invoke A 5, and despite the war-whoops coming from the Baltic midgets, there's no chance of Article 5 invocation any time soon.

War Pigs

When War Pigs came out, fifty-two years ago, I was a teenage wanker working at John’s Supertest on Waterloo Ave in Guelph.

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death's construction

In the fields, the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh lord, yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes, yeah!

Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where their bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour

Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing, spreads his wings
Oh lord, yeah!

Fifty-two years later, it’s still the same generals plotting our destruction, and the politicians moving the chess pieces are still hiding themselves away.

Everything old is new again.

The longer Putin is "bogged down," the more NATO and EU solidarity will crumble

Think that one through.

They've been telling us for two weeks Russia is bogged down, looking for an off-ramp, etc.

Maybe.

On the other hand, the longer the bog-down, the greater the refugee crisis. Poland is already crying enough. Three million in three weeks. What if Putin is bogged down for months?

Perhaps this thought has crossed the minds of Russia's military planners. Perhaps they see no great reason to un-bog until such time as their stated objectives have been achieved, those being demilitarization and denazification.

The demilitarization seems more or less complete. I don't know how they'll measure "denazification." That's one of those stretchy concepts that let's you declare victory whenever you decide.

The fact that escape corridors out of Mariupol are now functioning tells me the Russians are making progress in that department. That's the home base of the fascist Azov Battalion, the most highly motivated fighters in Ukraine. They literally will fight to the death. They will also execute civilians seeking to escape.

After three weeks of the fiercest fighting of the war, are we to assume the Azovs have pushed the Russians back? Maybe.

But I think a reasonable person should also consider the possibility the reverse has happened.

It was interesting which NATO leaders met with Zelensky today. It obviously wasn't a delegation from the serious end of the spectrum. The longer NATO showcases its impotence, the more its credibility wafts away.

They were there as part of a lobbying mission for more NATO support for the war, particularly "closing the skies." The F-35 is the most expensive weapons program in US history, and is foisted on NATO partners across the board. While armchair war fanboys are eagerly awaiting its combat debut, maybe people who know something have good reason to avoid such a confrontation.

As more and more of America's "partners" realize this war could soon move from their back yard to their living-rooms, and the American Empire is powerless to help them, perhaps they will reconsider their allegiance to their naked emperor. 

The cognitive dissonance in our anti-Russia propaganda

It's truly a challenge trying to suss out what's real and what's not in the fog of war.

Lot's of experts telling us Putin's war is a complete failure. Not only that, he's succeeded in uniting NATO as never before!

Then comes the daily impassioned plea from the heroic Zelensky himself, the guy who's fighting Putin in Ukraine so we don't have to fight him on the Plains of Abraham, begging his NATO masters to "close the sky." 

Zelensky keeps having to up the rhetorical ante, since the hot air support he's gotten so far isn't what he had in mind. Today he issued his gravest warnings thus far. 

If NATO doesn't act fast, it's gonna be too late. Once he's taken Ukraine, Poland is next, etc...

Wait a minute.

If he's hopelessly bogged down before he even takes Kyiv, how is he ever gonna be a threat to Poland and beyond?

NATO declines request to send F-35 fighters to Ukraine, sends best wishes instead

The prevailing Ukraine war narrative is causing major cognitive dissonance. 

On the one hand, this is the greatest threat to humanity since WWII. A sovereign state in Europe has invaded another sovereign state in Europe, surely a calamity, an outrage, worst thing since Hitler, etc.

On the other, actually fighting the invader is out of the question. Instead, we will crush him with "sanctions from hell."

If you're a fan of Hitler analogies, this would be where you recall how Hitler was stopped dead in his tracks by sanctions, right?

Fact check this; NATO will not interfere because the serious people know their combined military is no match for Russia's military.

Simple as that.

Which makes you wonder if they're effectively deploying their massive military budgets, collectively approx 15X the Russian military budget.

We're told Putin's war is a failure. Russian forces are bogged down. It's becoming a quagmire.

No, it isn't!

Every day Putin is "bogged down" is another day the NATO and EU ramp up the tensions amongst one another. Some of the more independently inclined are realizing the "sanctions from hell" are gonna be way more hellish on their own people than on Russia.

NATO was always USA directed. When it's raison d'etre dissolved in 1991, it should have been too. Instead, it was co-opted as America's foreign legion.

That foreign legion has made much mischief in various weak and defenceless nations in the three decades since.

This is the first time they've met a serious adversary.

That's why they're sending best wishes instead of F-35s

All Putin has to do is stay "bogged down" a few more weeks, and USA-NATO credibility will totally evaporate. The more the price of gas goes up, the less closely we'll stand with Ukraine.
