⚡️DOUGLAS MACGREGOR: "The question is why, what for, and what are we trying to achieve. All this business about democracy versus fascism or communism is nonsense. If there is a fascist or communist right now in Eastern Europe, his name is Zelensky. We know that because we know what his secret police does, we know what his state is up to, we know what he's done to churches, and we have an appreciation for the rampant organized crime in Ukraine, which is just shameless. The human trafficking, the disappearance of tens of thousands of children and women into the underworld where they're exploited and ultimately killed. This is what we're propping up. People know that. It can't go on." 9 Likes 1 Share

WrriterNg:This is exactly what their minions here do. They have little minds but cunning as the devil. They try to stoke division by downplaying the friendships of Russia China India Iran. According to them, Russia is a junior partner all of a sudden, because it increased oil sales to China by just 12%. Going by their dumb logic, this makes US a junior partner to China and EU the junior partner of Russia before 2022. Since it depended heavily on Russia for both oil, gas, titanium and other critical minerals used in basically every industry. Even till this day they still can't do without Russian resources, they just buy it off third parties now. 7 Likes 1 Share |

⚡US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti, says that India can't remain autonomous: "I know that India likes its strategic autonomy but in times of conflict there is no such thing as strategic autonomy". He goes on: "We will need to know that we are trusted friends, brothers and sisters, colleagues that in times of need - on the next day - will be acting together. They will know each others' equipment, they will know each others' training, they will know each others' systems." He also heavily implies he expects India to fight with the US in the East China Sea and Taiwan, saying that during joint US-India military exercises they "focused on humanitarian emergency but the lessons learned go beyond humanitarian emergencies to those moments we all pray will never happen whether they're on your northern border, whether they're in the East China Sea, whether they're in the strait of Taiwan." The US used to tell all those things to China just a few decades ago, when they needed it to counter the Soviet Union... And now that China has grown they want to use India to counter it, and will undoubtedly try to contain India if and when it also becomes too big... I suspect that India is ultimately wise enough to see through it and will understand that this is ultimately all done for the purpose of denying the advent of the Asian century and prolonging a US-dominated world order at the expense of multipolarity... which of course isn't in India's best interests: they benefit from a prosperous region and a world that isn't "America first". 6 Likes 1 Share

⚡DOUGLAS MACGREGOR: "What are we going to send? You know the Army is down to what, 450,000. When you start going through the lists of troops and capabilities, you have very few fighting troops. This is what people don't understand. You see a big number, 200,000, and you immediately assume this is a huge force with great capability. But if you look more carefully at it, you're lucky to get 50,000 combat troops out of 200,000. We don't have much in the way of combat power—the people that actually go forward, close with, and destroy the enemy. That's our problem. So no, we're not going to send them, but we will try to lean heavily on air and naval power. But again, you know, you're living in the missile age today. Missiles can now reach targets at great range. The day of hiding at sea in the Mediterranean with your carrier battle group, or off the shore in the Indian Ocean, and living invulnerable, invincible lives out there, is over. All of these things are targetable; they can all be found and targeted. Everybody says, 'Well, they can't sink a carrier.' You don't have to sink a carrier. All you have to do is put its flight deck out of business. Worse, you can damage the nuclear reactor aboard, in which case it can do nothing anyway. Then it becomes a magnet for help and assistance from other ships in the fleet who are trying to save the carrier. So then you have the opportunity to sink lots of targets or destroy even more. This is a disaster waiting to happen. I pray that it doesn't. We don't need to go down this road, but I see no one exercising any kind of control or influence over the Israelis, certainly not over Mr. Netanyahu. Because, as he points out regularly, he controls our Congress. He says that, and thus far, I'd say there's a lot of evidence to support that he's correct." 9 Likes 1 Share

⚡NATO Air Defense Systems Won't Protect Ukrainian Border Cities — Bild The German newspaper Bild, citing military experts, reports that the air defense systems promised to Ukraine at the NATO summit will not be able to protect major border cities such as Kharkiv, Sumy, Mykolaiv, and Chernihiv. Currently, two Patriot air defense systems are protecting the skies over Kyiv, with one system each over Lviv and Odesa. Recently, the West promised Ukraine three new Patriot systems and one SAMP/T system. Experts believe these systems might be directed to protect Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Vinnytsia, and the future F-16 base in the Khmelnytsky region. 1 Like
