My first and only contact with Rolf Mowatt-Larssen, who served as the CIA’s Chief of Station circa 2000, was at a conference hosted by my former CIA classmate, Valerie Plame, five years ago.
This is disturbing and alarming — Biden issued an order activating up to 3000 Ready Reserve and Select Reserve military personnel and sending them to Europe for potential combat with Russia.
Volodomyr Zelensky got the bad news in Vilnius — notwithstanding lip service from some of the NATO members — the United States and Germany are refusing to let Ukraine join the club out of fear of broadening the war with Russia.
On the cusp of the NATO Summit in Vilnius, Turkey’s President Erdogan dropped a couple of turds in the Russian punch bowl — he broke the agreement he made with Russia to imprison AZOV leaders who were taken prisoner at Mariupol in May of 2022, he endorsed immediate membership in NATO for Ukraine and he signed a deal toexpand drone production in Ukraine.
Is Joe Biden, on the eve of the NATO Summit in Vilnius, trying out for a part in the musical, GREASE?
The Biden Administration is not good at logic.
I have cited articles by my new friend, Stephen Bryen, in previous posts.
Radio Sputnik called me first thing this morning and asked me to comment on the recent speech in Oxfordshire, England by the Director of the CIA, William Burns.
The NATO Summit in Vilnius is one week away and the situation in Ukraine grows worse with each passing day.
Remember the book and movie,Is Paris Burning?
Many leaders in the West now are pushing the propaganda theme of an inevitable stalemate in the Ukraine war.
There is a massive misunderstanding about the Wagner PMC.
Got a big belly laugh out courtesy ofBojan Pancevski, a European based correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, who wrote the article,Wagner’s Prigozhin Planned to Capture Russian Military Leaders.
I will apologize upfront that I made the mistake of wearing earbuds and did not have time to clear the cache.
There is still no consensus about the motive for Yevgeny Prigozhin’s and there is a lot of speculation.
I find it fascinating that the Western narrative surrounding Yevgeny Prigozhin now emphasizes his virulent hatred of the Russian Ministry of Defense and portrays him as the Commander and “brains” behind the creation of the Wagner Private Military Company, aka Wagner PMC.
In this post, we will touch on three issues.
I think I found a temporary solution to the video glitches that have plagued some of my appearances on various podcasts.
I hear that the Chinese are going to add the image of Antony Blinken to the dictionary definition of “Kow Tow.” He went to Beijing, hat in hand, and received a less than warm welcome.
My friend and former colleague, Mark Thompson, may have retired from the State Department Bureau of Counter Terrorism — under pressure from the Obama Administration for his role as a whistle blower on Benghazi and the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens — but he is not sitting in a rocking chair staring at the horizon.
I apologize in advance for subjecting you to the following clip from CNN.
Let me start with the important and sad news marking the passing of Daniel Ellsberg.
Ukraine’s faltering offensive is completely lost on General Milley and Secretary of Defense Austin.
Unless you are over the age of 45, you likely do not have a living memory of the Kremlin “Watching” that accompanied major Soviet holidays.
If you ever wondered how I have arrived to where I am in life as a pundit, the following episode of RT’s, The Whistleblowers will answer your questions.
I was limited in what I could write last week because I was attending a week long training course in order to be certified as a Firearms Instructor who is authorized to train other instructors.
I know that some in the West are suggesting that there may be a way to negotiate and end to the war in Ukraine and I think they do not understand what Russia is now likely to demand to secure such a deal.
Word is circulating in Washington that relations between Kiev and the Biden Defense Department has hit a rough patch.
Ukraine’s offensive or counter-offensive is running into big problems and my friend, Mr.
In posting the following videos from pop culture I am not trying to make light of the plight of destruction facing Ukrainian forces as they hurl themselves against trained, entrenched Russian forces.
I will defer toBig SergeandSimpliciuson their updates on the attack on the Kakhovka Dam and the “progress” of Ukraine’s long awaited counter offensive.
After months of promising to strike a blow ostensibly to push Russia back to its original border Ukraine is on the March and, as expected, is suffering massive losses in men and materiel.
Ukraine’s vain attempts to launch an offensive ostensibly to oust Russia from “conquered” lands in the Donbass reminds me of the Japanese Kamikaze bombers trying to impede the inevitable U.S.
One fact that is common to all modern military forces is that only a small percentage of the total number of soldiers are actually engaged in combat.
Russia continues to pummel Ukrainian positions throughout the country and Ukraine continues to insist that it is shooting down Russian missiles and that the Russian attacks are inconsequential.
Do you remember the report that circulated more than three weeks ago about a Russian bunker buster that hit a military base in Western Ukraine and reportedly killed or wounded upwards of 200 NATO officers?
(This photo is a before and after picture of Russia’s attack on the UAF ammunition depot near Zhytomyr on May 28, 2023.) With all the loose talk from Ukraine and the West about the upcoming (or underway) counter offensive, it is natural for some observers to conclude that Russia is sitting back waiting to see what unfolds.
I suppose it should not surprise anyone that the failure to understand the challenges Ukraine faces in trying to launch a counter-offensive is a consequence of the fact that most Western politicians and media have zero experience serving in a military organization.
Is Ukraine Babe Ruth, Billy Jack or Geraldo Rivera in Al Capone’s Vault?
Let’s give the Ukrainian Government of Volodomyr Zelensky credit for one thing — they are world class liars.
Yesterday three Western supplied drone boats attacked a Russian ship guarding the Turkstream pipeline.
I will apologize up front for using the campy 1984 movie, Revenge of the Nerds, as a prescient portrayal of the shifting power relationship that favors Russia and China and puts the United States at an unexpected disadvantage.
Judge Napolitano arrived safely in Switzerland and, thanks to the miracle of the internet, was able to do his show as scheduled.
To compare the G-7 to the little people (dwarves and midgets) who portrayed the Munchkins in the iconic Wizard of Oz is an insult to those people small in physical stature but gigantic in terms of character and integrity.
Failed Prosecutor John Durham’s report on the Hillary Clinton campaign plot to convince the American electorate and U.S.
If you think that the policy towards Russia, which is shaped by the perceptions and beliefs of the Washington status quo, is not seriously screwed up, think again and watch Charles Kupchan, a former Clinton and Obama National Security official and current shill for the Atlantic Council, take you on a bizarre journey worthy of Alice in Wonderland.
a degenerate gambler who has emptied his bank account and is now borrowing from the Casino to continue his losing ways, the Biden Administration reportedly is reversing course and moving towards supplying F-16s to Ukraine.
If you own Raytheon stock, sell.
Cemetery Over the last week Ukrainian officials have been insisting that the long-promised counter-offensive is delayed until the West can pony up more tanks, ammunition, artillery and other weapons.
Well, at least John Durham finally released a report exploding the claim that Donald Trump and his campaign colluded with the Russians in 2016.
Russia’s aerial attack on the Ukrainian city of Khmelnytskyi is catching quite a bit of attention because of reports of a spike in Gamma rays following multiple, massive explosions.
I am fascinated by the misinformation and deception being spread via social media channels about famed-Russian Chef, Evgeny Prigozhin, and his mythical military prowess.
Not a good look for the Pope.
