Joe Biden made a semi-coherent speech in Kiev and may do an encore on Tuesday in Poland.
Got to give credit where credit is due.
The United States seems hell bent on provoking a violent confrontation with China and is doing so without a clear strategic vision.
If you are still wondering why the United States failed to prevail in Iraq and Afghanistan, especially Afghanistan, all you need to do is watch Tuesday’s press conference of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group in Brussels, Belgium.
I was interviewed on Thursday by a substacker, José Niño, and on Friday by Emerald Robinson.
Now that the hysteria surrounding the Chinese “Spy” Balloon I am hoping that logic and reason will take over and we will realize that instead of a NORAD failure that jeopardized national security, the wayward balloon was seized as an opportunity by the Biden Administration to display Biden’s prowess as a Commander in Chief on the eve of the State of the Union address.

How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline The New York Times called it a “mystery,” but the United States executed a covert sea operation that was kept secret—until now https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-took-out-the-nord-stream There is no other journalist, dead or alive, that can match the work and legacy of Sy Hersh — e.g., Watergate, CIA Assassinations, the Glomar Explorer, My Lai Massacre, Abu Ghraib, Syrian False Flag Chemical Weapon, Killing Bin Laden and now, the U.S.
Let us take Biden at his word (though one can reasonably argue he does not comprehend what he is saying most of the time) — World War III has started.
U.S military commands NORAD and NORTHCOM have been soiling themselves during the last 48 hours because a Chinese spy balloon is flying over the United States mainland.
If you have a spare hour I want to encourage you to watch the following video.
The level of crazy in the United States and Europe keeps growing Are you familiar with the expression, “Denial ain’t a river in Egypt?” Lots of denial in Washington and the European capitals.
M1A2 Abrams Let me give you a scenario.
And the Western media train ride to crazy town continues to hurtle down the tracks and does not realize the bridge over the River Dnieper has vanished.
Sergei Witte I am sure that many readers of this blog are acquainted with the great analysis offered by Andrei Martyanov, Doug MacGregor, Brian Berletic and Scott Ritter.
You know that happy feeling when things are going your way?
Let us start with the facts surrounding the “discovery” of classified U.S.
America’s infatuation with Ukraine and Zelensky (the Cocaine Comedian) is starting to wane, but most politicians and the public continue to believe the lie that Ukraine is an innocent country being bludgeoned by a communist Russia ruled by a dictator.
The “discovery” that Joe Biden had multiple stashes of highly classified documents begs a few salient questions that nobody, to the best of my knowledge, has answered — When were they discovered?
The sixties band, Buffalo Springfield, had a hit song that I think captures the dramatic developments in Ukraine and Russia over the last 36 hours — “There’s Something Happening Here:” The collapse of Ukrainian resistance in Soledar was confirmed even by some of the staunchest supporters of Ukraine, which means that Bakhmut is expected to fall under Russian control in the next few days.
TOS 1A While Western pundits (I think shills is a more apt description) and media continue to insist that Ukraine is pounding the snot out of Russia, the facts on the ground in Soledar and Bahkmut tell a different story.
Now there is a shocker.
The prolonged battle for Bakhmut is portrayed in the press as a symbol of Russian weakness.
A couple of my Ex-Pat readers who are enjoying life in places like rural, southern France, have asked me to give them a flavor of what the United States is really like these days.
Regardless of whether you support Ukraine or not, most honest observers concede that Ukraine is rife with corruption and political figures eager to feed at the public trough.
I have confirmed that the Defense Intelligence Agency is relying solely on Ukraine for the intelligence on Russian and Ukrainian casualties.
Have you ever played poker with a novice?
Not content with provoking Russia into invading Ukraine, the West, with the United States and the United Kingdom as the biggest instigators, is stirring the pot in Serbia and encouraging Kosovo to open a new front in hopes of diverting Moscow from completing its Special Military Operation in Ukraine.
If you ask anyone in America, “When do you celebrate Christmas?” the person will look at you cross-eyed and wonder if you were mentally deficient or in the early stages of dementia (I live in Florida and there are a lot of old people.
If you think that Volodomyr Zelensky is the first leader in the throes of a civil war (yes, I know, Russia invaded, but the war in Ukraine at its roots is a civil war) to visit Washington, DC and speak to Congress and be compared with Winston Churchill, think again.
Oleksandr Syrskyï and Valery Zalushnyi I finally had a chance to read the entire piece published last week in the Economist — Volodymyr Zelensky and his generals explain why the war hangs in the balance — and it is consequential.
The stunning revelations from the files thanks to the work of Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and Bari Weiss is providing irrefutable proof that the FBI was working to prevent the election of Donald Trump.
Let us start with the fact that Russia is firing 4 to 5 times more artillery shells than Ukraine every day: Russia is firing a staggering 20,000 artillery rounds per day, a senior U.S.
Thanks to Andrei Martyanov for pointing out a recent opinion piece by Peter Van Buren, a retired Foreign Service Officer who had a career at the U.S.
I am not suggesting that Avril Haines, Joe Biden’s Director of National Intelligence, is stupid.
Russia and Ukraine have been slugging it out in Bakhmut, a strategic location vital to Ukraine’s ability to remain in the western part of the Donetsk Republic, and it is evoking alarm among Ukraine’s western allies as Russia grinds on with devastating effect.
Ursula von Der Leyen’s did the unthinkable today — she told the truth.

John Paul Mac Isaac’s story of his encounter with Hunter Biden’s laptop and the subsequent coverup by the FBI is published tomorrow (Tuesday) and already is #1 as an bestseller.
If you are familiar with the old comedy trio, the Three Stooges, I bet you can spot a resemblance between Larry Fine and Sam Bankman-Fried.
When the history is written about the current war in Ukraine, the economic fallout will be seen as one of the critical determining factors.
Today (Tuesday) marks the largest Russian bombardment of Ukraine with precision guided missiles and drones.
For starters, I recommend you read my friend Andrei Martyanov’s article, This Is Getting Curiouser And Curiouser.

I have come across another book that I recommend you get and read.
Ukraine, with each passing day, reminds me of a crack addict who is dependent on his local drug slinger to feed his habit, which is slowly killing him.
Regardless of the issue, the title of this piece is a good rule of thumb to apply when you are reading “breaking news.” I am not talking about your conventional “car runs over pedestrian” or whatever. I am talking about reports like today’s news that there are US boots on the ground in Ukraine: American military personnel are now in Ukraine to help keep track of the billions of dollars’ worth of weapons and equipment the United States has sent since the start of the Russian invasion, a senior U.S.
David DePape, an alleged illegal alien who reportedly broke into the home of Nancy and Paul Pelosi and stands accused of trying to kill Paul Pelosi with a hammer has quite a resume: He is described by his ex-wife as mentally ill.
I am a big fan of John LeCarre.
The disgraced General and former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, David Petraeus, appears to have a touch of schizophrenia.
