Another good reflective and contemplative monologue from Neil Oliver today, as he notes the quick shift from ‘you cannot question the vaccine’ to ‘you cannot question what’s going on in Ukraine.’
Indeed, the analogous pivot by global governance was so fast, we didn’t even feel ourselves get shoved through the media looking glass. They’re getting good at this now; the global crew have had a lot more practice in the past two years. They’re like the performer who can snatch the tablecloth from under the plates without moving the cutlery.
However, as Neil Oliver mentions, sorry team NATO or global alliance or whoever the f**k you are, our experience with your abusive reaction to us in the past two years has thickened the callouses of our sensibility. We are not going to stop asking questions and looking for the real images behind the opaque narrative you present. Ukraine may, or may not, be all you say, but for the past two years you have manipulated so much we won’t stop asking questions, and we certainly will not accept the media presentations at face value. WATCH:
It’s much easier to figure out what’s going on when you know they are all lying!
ALWAYS question ANYTHING ANY politician says or does and ANYTHING the government or any government agency at any level does or says. There is ALWAYS and agenda and that agenda only benefits you when it benefits them more.
streuth!
Or alternately, take half of what the globalists say as bravo sierra, and doubt the other half.
I read a story earlier today about Rick Scott publishing a GOP “platform” and Mitch McConnell criticizing him and Scott clapping back at Mitch. My first thought: “The GOP knows their base hates them so they’re trying a game of good cop, bad cop to get us to believe there are still people to stick with in the party. What the hell has Scott done since he’s been in DC?
So yes, I assume every word is a lie .
And the problem is, Rick Scott is just as big a RINO as McConnell is…..He CANNOT be trusted…..
Rick Scott was one of only 8 Senators who voted against verifying the election on Jan 7.
This is a banana. This is an apple. Blah. Blah. Blah.
That they are lying should ALWAYS be the starting point with any political statement government or media makes.
I love your analysis ma’am. Quick and right to the point!
Cheers!
And to you, Colkitto, my friend.
You know it’s true. It’s all they know how to do. As the whole saw goes, just look at their black tongues…a dead giveaway.
And flies crawl on their faces.
You you lady are wise beyond your years😉

U.S. to train alleged neo-Nazi Azov Battalion in Ukraine (2016)
https://www.digitaljournal.com/world/usa-trains-alleged-neo-nazi-azov-battalion-in-the-ukraine/article/456277
What.. giving them the proper pronouns for ammo?
“ Against this background, the exposure made by the Russian Defense Minister Shoigu that in the Donetsk region there are “U.S. private military companies that are preparing a provocation with the use of unknown chemicals” is particularly alarming. It could be the spark causing the detonation of war in the heart of Europe: a chemical attack on Ukrainian civilians in Donbass would immediately be attributed to the Donetsk and Lugansk Russians, who would be attacked by the preponderant Ukrainian forces already deployed in the region to force Russia to militarily intervene in their defense. At the forefront, ready to massacre the Russians of Donbass there is the Azov battalion, which trained and armed by the U.S. and NATO has been promoted to a special forces regiment. It distinguished by its ferocity in its attacks on the Russian populations of Ukraine. The Azov battalion recruits neo-Nazis from all over Europe under its flag similar to that of the SS Das Reich, it is commanded by its founder Andrey Biletsky who was promoted to colonel. It is not just a military unit but an ideological and political movement, and Biletsky is the charismatic leader in particular for the youth organization that is educated to hate Russians by his book “The words of the white Führer.“”
https://www.struggle-la-lucha.org/2022/02/04/blackwater-is-in-the-donbass-with-the-azov-battalion/
I mentioned that on here a while ago. I did not have the documentation, but I heard that through some of my friends, that the CIA was moving Chemical weapons into the area. TY for the info. Watch Charlie Wilson’s War sometime, that’s where Al-CIA-duh came from and they were relocated to Bosnia where they went on jihad as US/NATO allies.
Interesting how ‘Hell’ is the common denominator with the various MSM outlets.
That’s because they are all doing the bidding of the Evil One who holds dominion over Hell.
Truth Needs A Soldier – @ 010Bravo
Posted many good bits of info out of Canadastan. Now this.
On 12-1-21 , Zelensky presents ” Right Sector ” leader with ‘ Hero Of Ukraine ‘ award.
Lends weight to Putin comments about his ‘ motivation ‘ to go in. ???
Zelensky is something like a mix between Curveball 2.0 from the Iraq War lies and Joel Gray in Cabaret.
@Alex, Give it a read. I hope WhiteBoard,Dutchman,AG,Sparrowhawk etc give it a read.
An Imperial Strategy for a New World Order: The Origins of World War III
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2009/10/andrew-gavin-marshall/the-origins-of-wwiii/
Thanks for the link. I am always in awe of the depth of information on this site, either from Sundance or the commenters.
ditto.
At your service friends.
Ukraine has been an epicenter of corruption for many decades. It’s only fitting that the head of its government be a corrupt and nefarious character. Zelenskyy just happened to be that one who landed on the hot seat when the music stopped. Both he and Putin boast about their nationalist intentions as they square off in this, the latest clash between two nations that have maintained a love-hate relationship dating back centuries.
The west should keep our noses out of it. Not my pig, not my farm….as the saying goes. Problem is that there’s lots money to be made in them-thar-skirmishes when you’re in the business of selling bullets…to both sides…at the same time. As for NATO, they start singing a different tune just as soon as member nations are made to pull their respective full weight for the privilege of being a member. Same with the UN. Trump pushed for member nations to start paying and contributing their obligations, instead of relying on the US to pick up the tab. Let the European nations police their own back yards. They start to become more civil when they have to eat the cost of being uncivilized.
The media lies and Ruder Finn generated propaganda of the US/NATO’s war crimes in the Balkans should alert everyone to this Ukraine war Psy-op. Turns out the US/NATO backed CIA created pre-al-qaeda -al-Qaeda terrorists in Bosnia, Neo-Ustrase in Croatia, and Al-Qaeda linked narco-human/organ trafficking terrorist crime cartel in Kosovo with an illegal NATO bombing of a Christian city of Belgrade and a illegal annexation of Kosovo.

First, the now obligatory map of the situation as of yesterday evening:
I won’t comment much because either it is self-evident to you and my commentary is not needed, or this looks like an imminent Ukrainian victory over a “miscalculating Putin” to you, in which case no comments of mine are going to help either.
So no more comments about the map for right now 🙂
Next,
If that map is accurate, this war is almost over. The Russians are completing one pocket in the Donbass and look primed for establishing a larger cauldron further west.
My fear is the Swamp is going to funnel billions of dollars to a government in exile.
For some reason I think a good bit of that money will make its way back into the coffers of the dirty politicians.
Bill Clinton just reactivated the Clinton Foundation. I wonder why?? Not!
Bank on it !
Please don’t provide them with any ideas – make them work for it.
The usual players in Congress already have 10 billion they are looking into shipping to Ukraine, maybe on pallets.
How much is going to their Ukraine-Panama Paper accounts?
Don’t worry, they’ve already memorized the playbook. All is done now. Just waiting for payday.
Don’t know if it is accurate, but I keep reading that the Comedian and Chief of Ukraine has a mega mansion in Florida. Karmela could just U Haul it down their without much trouble
Hey, Hillary, is that you?
What’s with the abuse ? Take it somewhere else , it’s not wanted here
the abuse occurred when “hillary’ was brought into the conversation…..I take great exception to that and could care less what you are anyone else thinks on the subject…..she…got alot of people killed over the years and should be strung up pubicly!

2) Have journalists rewrite history and pretend we never provided assurances to Russia that NATO would never expand eastward.

May I suggest that you take 30 minutes and listen to The Duran on YT. It may be a surprise, but Putin’s actions in Ukraine actually has overwhelming favorability in Russia.
Such good and necessary questions!! I just got an email from a woman in my church who is putting together a group to “paint sunflowers for Ukraine” and I feel like a horrible person for asking her what exactly she knows about Ukraine, Russia, geopolitical alliances, Etc. But we have to stop this insanity of being led wherever the media pulls us and believing whatever narrative they tell us!
I wonder if she has thought about painting mushroom clouds if cooler thinking heads do not speaking out against this ridiculous situation.
Maybe you should join the group and educate them about the situation in Ukraine.
That’s the rub. How do we even suggest to people who basically know nothing except pictures of babies being hauled out rubble that maybe they are being subjected to mind controlling propaganda, without coming off as callous, cynical, hard-hearted?
Where the hell is the deprogramming manual??? Many of us could really use one.
I hear that.
Exactly! I already have a reputation of being cynical and “bitter” because, while I do believe in the eternal goodness of God, I have lived long enough to have very little confidence in the “goodness” of most of His followers! (Myself included – I am a wretched sinner, saved by grace alone, and have no qualms about admitting that!)
I frequently quote Mark 10:18 when Jesus asks the rich young ruler, “Why do you call me good? There is no one good but God!” and have discovered that most people don’t like that verse very much at all….
A famous pastor now departed used to say. “Up above with the saints I love, that’ll be glory. But down below with the saints I know, that’s another story.”
Just ask them where the he!! they have been for the last 7 yrs 10 months weeks 5 days while Ukraine has been waging war on Donbas.
Easy
Wrap the deprogramming in as entertainment.
Send these people a link or a DVD of the 1997 movie Wag the Dog.
Most people will not listen to a lecture about geopolitics and media brainwashing but they will watch a Deniro/Hoffman movie.
It usually begins to sink in about media manipulation and reality as it currently is when a movie parallels whats in the news.
Just look at how our so called Govt brainwashed a substantial amount of Americans over a virus. Many are still running around with a mask on. Even saw several occupants in cars with the diaper on their faces. How many of us have relatives that will not even communicate with us. I do.
Just ask her where she and church have been the last 7 years 10 Mos 3 weeks and 5 days that Ukraine has been waging war on Donbas.
That usually works for me.
Hopefully that opens the door for discussion and research by her.
I find that a lot of people are ignorant of Ukraine. Ukraine government is not the innocent angels portrayed.
I am amazed at the ignorance of people who I have talked to. They still think Russia is communist USSR!
Every 5-10 years Ukraine have violent, brutal bloody wars. They overthrow their government.
This time they are part of the–let’s poke the bear.
They need to be neutral country. Let Putin protect Donbas and Luhansk.
Just ask her where she and church have been the last 7 years 10 Mos 3 weeks and 5 days that Ukraine has been waging war on Donbas.
That’s really good-quick and to the point!! I’m going to use it. Thanks!
Not one church here in US cried for 13,500 + killed ethnic russian in eastern UKR……since 2014….
My church is collecting donations to send to our ancestral eparchy, that of Mukachevo, in Ukraine; the seminary has closed to take in refugees and they’re educating children to give them a sense of normalcy. We have moved an icon of Stabat Mater/Sorrowful Mother, next to the crucifix that stands in the corner of the church and put a stand of candles before it, with a basket for collections next to it. Any funds dropped into the basket will go to the seminary.
Neil is a good guy but he simply fails to understand the dynamics of the nuke.
No-one with nukes can attack anyone else with nukes without triggering their own destruction. It’s called M.A.D.
So don’t concern yourself.
The outlier that should be thought about is the small state mad mullah, 12th Imam type nutter with a an unsupervised button, who are completing some religious prophecy.
I have seen essays suggesting that MAD is no longer the case. Putin has been prepping, both his physical supplies of food and gold, and his people, to survive a nuclear strike.
I suggest that indicates he does not believe a nuclear exchange to be unsurvivable.
I also suggest that the WEF really doesn’t care that much because they’ve all got bunkers in New Zealand, where they will be welcomed with open arms by their puppet Jake Ardern
MAD destroys Russia after first strike….so happy Putin sits in a bunker amid the ashes?
Don’t be silly.
The wealth of WEF groupies gets destroyed in a nuke exchange. So much for life in an NZ bunker….there might be half a dozen total.
Some people think after the Cold War ended and nuclear stockpiles were reduced that MAD had become ineffective.
They are wrong, today’s nukes are a lot more sophisticated and their delivery systems a lot deadlier.
We don’t need 10 megaton bombs with a accuracy of 2-3 km when twenty 50 kiloton bombs with an accuracy of 10m will do as much damage.
People also forget the Dr. Strangelove scenario, instead of dropping big bombs on cities, you target and hit nuclear power stations which are basically large piles of enriched uranium to cause massive radiological pollution plus an instant meltdown. Massive fallout will wipeout large areas with little cost in weapons.
MAD is still applicable today as it was in 1970. Also don’t forget the poor man’s MAD, the use of small nukes to generate EMP over a wide area to basically push your enemy back to 19th century living standards.
The WEF think they’ll come out after the devastation to enslave the survivors and build their aristocratic paradise, they’ll learn the hard way when places like NZ aren’t exempt from being targeted.
Plus which the whole NZ bunker thing has not been clearly proven to exist, some billionaires have built them there but many have not.
Best place to be is in a superyacht in the middle of the ocean running dark…
Sam – “No-one with nukes can attack anyone else with nukes without triggering their own destruction. It’s called M.A.D. So don’t concern yourself.”
GRY – “Some people think after the Cold War ended and nuclear stockpiles were reduced that MAD had become ineffective. They are wrong, today’s nukes are a lot more sophisticated and their delivery systems a lot deadlier.
Don’t be so sure that’s true.
Documents discovered after the collapse of the USSR revealed that the Soviet Union was preparing for a preemptive, offensive war in Europe, with strategic nuclear war an integral part of it. They thought they could win such a war by protecting the vital elements of their society from the effects of nuclear weapons, emerging after the bombs stopped falling to reconstitute their society. That belief explains why they devoted so much of their country’s wealth to building nuclear hardened shelters for their military, political establishment, industry and population.
In fact, a declassified CIA report from 1978 stated that the entire Soviet political leadership, 12 to 24 percent of their essential workforce, and 10 to 20 percent of their urban population could be protected in nuclear hardened shelters. It was concluded that under some circumstances, sheltering and evacuation could keep Soviet casualties down in the low tens of millions from a US retaliatory strike. And that was with far more nuclear warheads and delivery vehicles in our arsenal than we currently have.
Fortunately, we spent billions to convince the old Soviet leadership that they would not win such a war. We did this primarily by building enough survivable warheads to obliterate their industry and make sure that their populace (and in particular their political and military leadership, and their families) would die in any such conflict, irregardless of how deep they dug their shelters or how long they stayed in them. If we had not made this massive commitment, the Soviet leaders who pounded shoes on tables saying “we will bury you” might well have made a very imprudent decision.
Now, unfortunately, thanks to decades of UNIPARTY democrats and RINOs essentially ignoring (in fact, often aiding) a resurgent Russian threat, as well as a new Chinese threat, we now face much the same situation today that we did in the 1970s. The current Russian and Chinese leadership do not appear convinced that a nuclear war is unwinnable.
Consider the fact that despite severe economic problems and no rational basis to believe the US would attack post-Cold War Russia, Russia engaged in a massive military buildup that continued up until Trump took office. Only then did Russian Defense spending drop as a percent of GDP, and it dropped rather significantly.
Consider the fact that Russia has retained and upgraded thousands of strategic nuclear warheads. They’ve built whole new generations of ICBMs, SLBMs and other delivery systems. But most frightening of all, they’ve continued hardening their basic infrastructure against nuclear attack. Since the end of the Cold War, Russia has pumped billions of dollars into it. I’ll give you one example of this.
There is a mountain called Yamantau in the Urals with a huge, nuclear, chemical and biological hardened, underground complex that Russia to this day refuses to discuss. It’s so big that there are literally two cities on top of it (imagine an underground complex the size of the Washington DC area within the Beltway). Some parts of it are under 3000 feet of rock. Tens of thousands of workers have been involved in its construction for decades, which is still ongoing. Russians pumped an estimated $6 billion dollars into the complex during the 1990s alone, and much more since.
In 1998, General Habinger (who was Commander of STRATCOM) said Yamantau “has millions of square feet available for underground facilities. We don’t have a clue as to what they’re doing there.” About the same time, US Representative Barlett (R-Md) said “The only potential use for this site is post-nuclear war.” He said “Yamantau Mountain is the largest nuclear-secure project in the world. … snip … It has been built to resist a half dozen direct nuclear hits, one after the other in a direct hole. It’s very disquieting that the Russians are doing this when they don’t have $200 million to build the service module on the international space station and can’t pay housing for their own military people.”
Representative Curt Weldon (R-Pa), who spoke Russian and traveled extensively in Russia in the 1990s, said “I ask the Russians about it every time I meet with them… We’ve never had a straight answer.” In fact, in response to repeated inquiries by Weldon and others, the Russian government provided no fewer than 12 contradictory explanations. Initially they claimed it was a mining site. Then it was a repository for Russian treasures. Then it became a food storage site. Later still, they said it was a bunker for Russian leaders in the event of a nuclear war. And then it was part of Russia’s nuclear retaliatory program.
And Yamantau is not the only such facility in Russia. There appear to be over 200 other deep underground facilities, whose only purpose can be nuclear war fighting and post-war survival. And whereas we’ve allowed Russian military access to our key facilities (including Cheyenne and the STRATCOM headquarters in Omaha), no foreigner has ever stepped inside Yamantau or Kosvinsky Kamen (Russia’s equivalent of Cheyenne Mountain) or been allowed near them.
Furthermore, the Russian government has continued preparing its people for nuclear war. In 2003 it tripled its civil defense outlays. In 2010, the Russian RT news network announced that “nearly 5000 NEW emergency bomb shelters will be built in Moscow by 2012”, declaring the program “urgent”. Moscow’s subway system is specifically engineered against nuclear attack with Russia claiming there is space in it for ALL the city’s population. In 2016, more than 60 million Russians took part in nationwide civil defense training, which involved the entire Russian air force.
Clearly, the Russians are VERY serious about nuclear civil defense. Why? Perhaps because they’ve been preparing to win one, and thanks to deep cuts already made in our nuclear arsenal, it’s not clear that our existing deterrence is adequate to prevent that. To have a credible deterrent against this sort of opponent, we need enough warheads and delivery vehicles to deal effectively with their war machine, possible reload threats, and threaten the large number of hardened Command/Control/Communication centers, bunkers (housing politicians, military and their families) and hardened industrial targets that they possess. That was true in the 70s but not now.
The UNIPARTY has been steadily reducing the size of our deterence. In fact, Biden’s administration recently admitted that we now have only 3750 nuclear warheads in our stockpile and apparently 2000 of them are waiting to be dismantled (https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Fact-Sheet_Unclass_2021_final-v2-002.pdf). In comparison, most sources say Russia have about 6000 nuclear warheads.
Worse, top democrats have been advocating a deterrence of only 300 warheads is needed.
For example, Representative Adam Smith (D-Wash), the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee that drafts the defense budget, endorsed the agenda of the Ploughshares Fund (https://www.ploughshares.org/issues-analysis/article/rep-adam-smith-and-future-us-nuclear-weapons-policy ), which calls for abandoning strategic nuclear parity with Russia and reducing U.S. nuclear weapons to 300 weapons and eventually eliminating them too (https://www.ploughshares.org/issues-analysis/article/presidents-nuclear-options )!
Even assuming that none were destroyed in a first strike by the Russians, we would face an untenable situation. Do we go after their launchers and try to prevent reloads (but then be at a severe disadvantage militarily and economically) or go after their hardened bunkers and try to kill their leadership (but 300 warheads doesn’t go far in this case and again we leave them economically and militarily advantaged)? Or should we go after their cities and the bulk of their population (which they might be willing to trade for victory in such a conflict)?
One thing is clear, with so few warheads, we would for the first time in our history have to make decisions on all sorts of important international issues (like the Ukraine and Taiwan) from a profoundly inferior position. And the result of those decisions might disadvantage us even further. Lack of a credible deterrent invites miscalculation.
Furthermore, Russia is not the only threat we now face. China is just as dangerous. For years it has had a massive military expansion and modernization program underway. It may already have built thousands of nuclear warheads (despite claims that it has only a few hundred). China built about 3000 miles of nuclear hardened tunnels in the first 15 years of this new millennium (and who knows how many bunkers). That’s far beyond any need to make its supposedly small nuclear arsenal survivable against a first strike.
China’s nuclear sheltering programs are considered by some to be more extensive than Russia’s, with shelters build under most of China’s cities. Mao’s guidance was “dig tunnels deep, store grain everywhere” and the Chinese seem to have taken that to heart, especially since 1969 when they and the USSR came close to war.
For example, a 2006 SINA report states that “Shanghai has completed the construction of a super underground bunker that can accommodate 200,000 people in emergency to evade blasts, poisonous gas emission and nuclear radiation, according to local experts. The bunker covers a total area of more than 90,000 square meters. It has 15 passages nearly 4,000 meters in length each to link the underground space with ground buildings and facilities, including office towers and residence departments”. The China Daily reported in 2012 that three new large civil defense shelters (each capable of holding over 8000 people) would be completed in Shanghai in 2012 and the Shanghai government noted there was nothing unusual about that and that additional shelters were planned as part of a long-term civil defense plan.
China’s state run media reported in 2016 that China had upgraded its subway system in Beijing and revealed that its mass transit system (like the Russians) is hardened to withstand nuclear blasts and chemical gas attacks in a future war. The Chinese government told the author of a on urban design that Beijing’s civil defense system is capable of accommodating 5 MILLION people in case of nuclear attack. In short, China clearly has a hardened shelter program much like Russia’s, whose only conceivable rationale would be a belief that the key elements of their society could survive a nuclear exchange and thus they might “win” a nuclear conflict. In fact, a little thinning of China’s population might be viewed as a good thing by their leadership.
Obama’s own Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, told the Senate in 2014-2015 timeframe that China poses the most serious “mortal threat” to the United States among nation states. Defense officials have acknowledged that US intelligence agencies have underestimated China’s military capabilities and are expressing concerns that its military buildup has largely been carried out in secret. There is simply no reason on their part for such a buildup other than some contemplated offensive action against us in the future (like Taiwan). In that regard, Communist China’s Defense Minister, Chi Haotian, publicly stated in 2000 that war with the US was “inevitable”. And they couldn’t contemplate war with us without planning for it to be nuclear.
But, worse, China and Russia may be working together against us. Remember that Chinese Defense Minister who met with Russia’s leader Putin and the Russian Defense Minister back during Obama’s Presidency to discuss how to expand Russian-Chinese military cooperation? If you look at the way Russia and China have behaved vis a vis the US and our other enemies (like Iraq, Syria and Iran) the past several decades, you have to wonder if they’ve really given up notions of defeating the US and dominating the world. Look at the way China passed on intel from Biden’s administration to the Russians vis a vis Ukraine. They might make the same calculation we feared the old Soviets would make by thinking a nuclear war is winnable and acting accordingly.
So you might want to rethink your lack of concern about the unthinkable.
” revealed that the Soviet Union was preparing for a preemptive, offensive war in Europe, with strategic nuclear war an integral part of it. They thought they could win such a war by protecting the vital elements of their society from the effects of nuclear weapons”
Halfwit position papers like this belong in the Ark. No Russian intel nerd would sprout that nonsense today.
The US nuke missile subs means no matter what you achieve above you are finished as a country.
End of story and they know it.
Oh, and Russia is no threat to the US….it’s a crony money mafia state and irrelevant to US security…even on this day at this time.
China’s ya problem and always will be.
These days the game changers are hypersonic missiles and fractional orbital bombardment systems and the Russians are ahead in their testing and research, especially if you can adapt these systems for sub launch.
I don’t think China is there yet but the US military needs to focus on this area, under Trump it was funded after years of neglect by previous administrations.
But it looks like those areas are being starved again by Biden.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_Orbital_Bombardment_System
“The US nuke missile subs means no matter what you achieve above you are finished as a country.
End of story and they know it.”
You failed to address my points, which are basically about perceptions. The fact that we have warheads based on submarines doesn’t change what I noted. We simply do not have enough warheads to dig out all the hardened Russian infrastructure that exist, much less take care of their offensive nuclear arsenal too. So prove to me that Russian leaders and their military believe nuclear war would spell the end of the story. If what you said is true … that “No Russian intel nerd would sprout that nonsense today”, then why are the Russians (and Chinese) continuing to spend precious billions on facilities to protect a sizable portion of their populace in the even of a nuclear war?
In fact, let me point out that just last Wednesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated categorically that if war with the US comes, “it will involve nuclear weapons”, and Putin raised the alert level of Russia’s nuclear forces to make the point. The Russian leadership does not appear to fear nuclear war like you suggest. There perhaps is a reason that NATO decided not to get involved in the Ukraine. We do not really know Russian or Chinese thinking on this issue.
And as far as American military planners are concerned, the Joint Chiefs of Staff published a report in 2019 titled “Nuclear Operations) that stated “Using nuclear weapons could create conditions for decisive results and the restoration of strategic stability.” It was removed from the public domain because the JCS said it should be for official use only, but indicated perceptions that such a war might be winnable, whether true or not. All it takes is perceptions to stumble into a nuclear war.
Do you know that the highest ranking GRU (Russian military intelligence) officer ever to defect from Russian, Stanislav Lunev, told Congress in 2000 (not that long ago) that a preemptive nuclear strike by Russia on America is a real possibility. And it was Putin who announced the new doctrine that Lunev was addressing Congress about.
Are you really sure you understand Putin’s or Xi Jinping’s thinking, given that Reagan, who most conservatives still admire, appeared to believe a nuclear war might be winnable in the sense that one side could suffer far fewer deaths and be able to recover from it in the long run.
I would be wary of assuming that the China-Russia relationship is as solid as you’re indicating.
China already has indicated they want their ‘historical’ land back, the Russian Far East north of the Amur River encompassing Kamchatka and Vladivostok and the Sea of Okhotsk.
Remember China and Russia were best communist buds in the 1950s before they had a serious falling out which ended up in several border battles and almost full scale war.
Putin is not stupid and neither is Xi, I think they’ll work with each other on economic issues but the military aspect will be a lot less trusting and less solid.
The Russians are much more survivalist than in the past, they learned some harsh lessons in WW2 at the hands of the Germans. I fully expect them to continue their disaster preparedness well into the future. This doesn’t mean they’re preparing to try to survive a retaliatory strike after launching a first strike.
Russians are hardheaded pragmatists by nature and they will have worked out the math on such a move and concluded that it’s return on investment is negative. I think modern Russia is a lot less expansionist than their communist predecessors, they have plenty of resources and land and a modest sized population which is sufficient to keep stability in their country.
China is a whole other game entirely, the threat of Chinese expansionism is real and there I would say nuclear deterrence is absolutely necessary.
I would never turn my back on China, they’ve shown themselves time and again to be aggressive opportunists.
Declassified CIA report. Now where have we heard that before. Redaction’s making it unreadable.
I believe, he meant the London Mayor mentioned the possibility of Nukes to get the people frenzied, in an attempt to make them feel unsafe in an unstable world. A tactic. Fear= Control.
The Elected Idiots have deceived themselves into believing that fanning the flames will create a need for some sort of Government intervention or program. They play the same tricks over and over, as if, the people don’t recognize that the Elected Idiots are creating the problem, with the help of the Lapdog Media, that they are now claim needs their heroic solutions —using our tax dollars.
Each time they pull out the FUD card it becomes less and less effective, people get used to it even if it’s subconscious. The shock factor wears off and people become numb to the stimulus.
Look at the drum beats of war the MSM are trying to push out to the people, some are scared, some are not and many are kind of apathetic towards all of this.
Politicans are rather a stupid breed of people who don’t think actions have consequences, but the consequnces aren’t always visible before it strikes them.
This all reminds me of the great movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Sundance (Robert Redford) is on the verge of killing a guy in a saloon duel. Butch (Paul Newman) whispers in the imminent victim’s ear “just ask him to stay, and he’ll leave”. The guy asks Sundance to stay, and he immediately leaves. Killing someone is small potatoes to Sundance, what matters most is getting his own way.
Lindsey Graham is the new Sundance. He, and the other globalists, have decided that they are the true and ultimate rulers of the world. And you can’t be the king if others defy you. Like Sundance, Lindsey has concluded that disobedience is a capital offence.
After Gaddafi got his iron rod enema, Hillary laughed and said “We came, we saw, he died”. Defying the globalist Hillary earns you the death penalty.
I’m sure the secular Libyan dictator regretted giving them up after they lied to him and promised not to overthrow him, which started the Kalergi planned invasion of Europe in earnest
Disarmament of Libya
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disarmament_of_Libya
wikipedia is no longer an honest source.
Agreed. But i was just showing the Libyan disarmament which is common knowledge. You know about it right? Or don’t you?
The problem with lindsey graham is he’s a clown that everyone laughs at, but he represents a lot Rich Donors who are NOT clowns. THese characters are front men. The rich donors pull their strings. Lindsey would probably be acting in some Community theater (Probably as Blanche Dubois) except somebody thought he could get elected to the Senate.
I had to smile at the comparison of Graham to Robert Redford. I don’t think anyone’s done that before.
Here is more background on US involvement in the lead up to the war. Hairraising.

Once you have seen the propaganda strings on the marionette media – you can’t unsee them. For some reason, the Rush montage on ‘gravitas’ wasn’t enough – it took ‘safe and effective’ as they drop like flies to settle it. I know I almost immediately went for Zallensky – WEF control agent – phony as a three dollar bill – until proven otherwise.
Putin’s not the enemy, the Global Cabal is.
Putin & Russia stopped the US & its Muslim terrorist allies from destroying secular Syria and its large Christian community, and doing a evil war criminal regime change there.
Absolutely.
It is mildly depressing to see how few prominent people truly understand that the real conflict is higher up than on the ground in Ukraine.

Im curious, who has led to more death, Putin or Fauci?
Good question. Fauci hands down. After reading Robert Kennedy Jr’s book, The Real Anthony Fauci, I am positive about that. Fauci certainly has more children casualties and misery on his ledgers.
Exactly right! The book, by Robert Kennedy Jr., is a must read. Fauci is up millions over Putin so far! Diabolical!
Thank you PPS. My thoughts exactly
Hillary Clinton
50 million virus deaths. millions more Vaxx deaths and injuries yet to come, millions of medical malpractice deaths, not to mention suicides, etc..
It’s Mass Murder on a scale not seen since Stalin, Hitler and Mao.
And that just in the last two years! Fauci has been at this for 50 years. “Teflon Tony” is his nickname🤨
We’re still in the early innings.
My wife calls me a conspiracy theorist…… but cant explain why so often those theories are true…..
Tell her they are Spoiler Alerts!
A Fake President wants to get us sucked into a civil war in a land where all sides are friggen nuts is…..nuts.
Extermination is a word used by some very evil people…it would be interesting to know the basis of your conclusion!
When the Greek chorus continually refrains: “The sky is falling!”, don’t stop doing what you know you have to do.
Keep the faith; lose the panic.
Exterminated? It is wrong to promote the assassination of the head of state of the Russian Federation or anyone else for that matter or to judge him or her worthy of death since there is limited knowledge available from the mainstream media and other sources and much of that is propaganda. A thoughtful person would never make a rash declaration in favor of the murder of anyone but would try first to see all sides of an issue and let each side be fully heard, and they would want to avert further discord and bloodshed if at all possible. It is to be hoped that cool heads will prevail in this conflict and that diplomatic efforts will recommence. Let the people of Russia judge who they want as their leader without outside interference from globalist pressure groups who for years have dismissed Russia’s security interests, i.e., the prior agreement with Russia broken by NATO and the advancement of NATO eastward in Europe.
NATO should have never been created as the Cold War was a lie. At the least disbanded when its Hegelian Dialectic partner the Warsaw pact was dissolved.
I wonder if Flowergirl Lindsey is getting upset because he is worried some incriminating evidence could be coming out about his and a load of other swamp rats criminal activities in Ukraine?
Sorry, I’d like to see all the globalists exterminated !
Short list, Fouci , Gates, Soros, Schwab !
I am certain Miss Lindsey privately suggested a Trump assassination was also an option. Trump’s biggest fault is that his heart doesn’t see evil.
I enjoy when you post Neil Oliver’s commentary. He speaks with calm confidence and a surety of his beliefs. He is inspiring and settling. Scotlands Victor Davis Hanson.
Excellent comparison. Both of them are highly educated but not never became members of the snobby so called “elite.”
Neil Oliver is correct in suggesting the UNIPARTY (and mind you, the UNIPARTY is not just a US organization) may not be right about the Ukraine. Especially, given all the wrong we know UNIPARTY Fabian Socialists have done the past 120 year and all the lies they’ve promote world-wide. The fact that the Clintons and Bidens are neck deep in Ukraine corruption only strengthen’s my opinion in that regard. UniParty Fabian Socialists are leading the world toward destruction.
Brilliant post by Samuel Finlay: Kayfabe in Kiev — @im_1776 (im1776.com)
“Well they got their war. They even lied to get it, not that it seems to have mattered. (Consequences are just for Proles.) My unit went there after Afghanistan, and among the thousands who died, theirs and ours, one was a Cherry from the first fire-team I led. His nickname was “Van.” He deployed to Iraq, and I’m told my old squad leader had to climb up a tree to fetch Van’s body down after the IED took his life and threw what was left into the sky. Van left behind a newlywed wife and an infant daughter. Another one of my buddies, whom I’d seen go from a scrappy Private to a tough squad leader (“Decicho” in my book), killed himself last year, leaving behind a young son as well. Of those thousands who were lost or marked by that war, those were some of mine. They and the rest of the men in my unit were brave and it was an honor to serve with them, yet I cannot forget that our actions downrange were in service to policies built upon a great deal of lies and treachery. We were betrayed then. And we are being betrayed again.
I recall how vehemently anti-war the Left was then, and how the Jon Stewarts and other court eunuchs used the issue as a means to attack my people and reveal their master’s pivot from pretending to give a damn about the working class and what remains of small-town and rural folk to displaying their true contempt for us as Kulaks. The indisputable fact of their recent conversion to brute hawkishness reveals the truth of something David Reaboi noted, riffing on Lee Smith: “The Democratic Party doesn’t have foreign enemies. They have foreigners who remind them of domestic enemies.”
I’d say that’s about right. There’s a bloodlust running like a current through those identifying with the party that was clearly stoked in them by the Managerial Class. I swear, you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting three freshly activated Manchurian Candidates ready to put their war-boner on the world. I am convinced it is demonic. Yesterday at my Normie-Job I heard an 80-something year old woman read aloud an article about how a cruise line would no longer offer stops in St. Petersberg, and would cost the Russian people there millions of dollars in lost revenue. She was almost gloating about the prospect of the impoverishment of those affected. A week ago she was deathly afraid of Covid and lamenting a friend’s refusal to take the ‘vaccine’. From what I understand, she was a former school teacher.
As bad as that is, it troubles me even more to see it from officials ostensibly on our side of the aisle. A schizophrenic coalition representing the Grift-Industrial Complex with a crooked-ass elderly dementia patient for a spokesman has been rolling into a midterm election season with low approval ratings due to their sheer incompetence and corruption, and no sooner than they call for blood against foreigners, RINOs fall in line with them, ready to snatch a defeat from the jaws of victory like the Jobronis they are.
The fools can’t seem to grasp that the Globalist-Left is not only on the brink of starting a war in which Red State sons would disproportionately be paying America’s butcher’s bill, but the tools developed in GWOT and refined in the plot against President Trump, the Canadian Trucker Protest, and now Russia will be directed against people like us who object to living under the diktats of GloboHomo. They will run headlong to secure the borders of Ukraine or Taiwan (or rather, send others to do so), yet when it comes to doing something about those who have declared war on us here at home, suddenly their martial vigor fails them and they sit like good little school boys awaiting instruction from their teacher. They let their enemies tell them who they should fight, then wonder why they always seem to lose. Charlie Brown had more self-awareness. In a way, I suspect it must be a bit of a relief for some. Having a faraway spectacle elsewhere offers a distraction from just how corrupt the ruling class is here and dulls the messy responsibility of having to do something about it.”…….

Actually, she’s not completely wrong. In 2007, Putin wanted to join Ronald Reagan’s winning side. Naturally, our Deep State opposed it. It would have damaged all the planned arms sales by Big Military/Industrial and our Political Class had already sold out to Chy-Na long before. So they put their crooked agenda ahead of America’s–JUST LIKE IKE WARNED.
Think of it–Russia aligned with the West to contain China. Trump thought exactly that–hence Dirty Bob Mueller’s Russia Hoax.
Perhaps 2007 was when Putin realized how rotten the apple really was with no more patriot giants like Reagan visible on the horizon. Only Reagan-fakers and Uni-Party backstairs-crawlers–until Trump.
What could have been…

That Samuel Finlay article is fantastic; wow!
do you know anything about him or that site? I’m bookmarking it.
I’ve learned they only try to silence Truth.
As a result I seek out those being silenced and turned off any news outlet including fake Fox News.

More from Neil Oliver today

Oh Hell NO!
Do you work for CNN? Your analysis is a bit ‘black and white’. Maybe listen to Neil Oliver again??
Neil Oliver: I will continue to air my doubts and ask my questions
AMEN, Brother!
“Another good reflective and contemplative monologue from Neil Oliver.” I agree and I doubt he ever delivered a bad monologue in his life.
The archaeologist, historian, author and GB News “monologuer” Neil Oliver is a brilliant fellow. His in-depth knowledge of past “civilizations” and their successes and demise provides a keen insight into human actions. His reasoned fearless arguments are sorely needed today.
When I watched his 1st posted video here, I couldn’t recall where I’d seen him before even with his strong Scottish accent. My memory was rekindled when I stumbled across a rerun episode (on the Knowledge Network) of the BBC series, “Age of Invasion—The World After Stonehenge.” He was a presenter of several BBC historical and archaeological documentary series.
Fortunately for us, Neil has now directed his polymathic insights and intelligence to politics.

I love the Robert Burns quote and have used it many times. And I often tell people to listen to Dawn Steele’s reading.
Did PDJT know it was being taped?
And the next guy could even be worse, because he’d be a puppet of the WEF.
Exactly right. We need Putin as a counter to the WEF, like we needed Saddam Hussein as a counter to the Iranian Mullahs.
I had thought that it was clear what must be done with the global crew, Oliver?
How long is this 24/7 bombardment of Russia/Ukrainian “news” going to last?
Today we felt like we were watching reruns from last week broadcast by Ted Baxter “journalists”.
TV is off – enough is enough for us.
C’mon now….be nice to Ted Baxter (and Les Nessman for that matter)!
They might have been incompetent, but their hearts were in the right place (ok, RIP turkeys).
🙂
I have some democrat friends, and even they aren’t just riding the narrative wave anymore. Even these people who used to consider themselves on the same team, so to speak, as the globalists are now pausing and narrowing their eyes.
How did we get here?
CORRUPTION!!! Corruption like the world has never seen. Ukraine is a cesspool. Washington and everything in it is as well.
Since Obama’s first term they’ve been stuffing there bank accounts with laundered American tax payer dollars. Now their all trying to cover it all up and the only losers here are the poor Ukraine people and the tax payers in America. Their so desperate to cover it up there willing to provoke putin into launching a thermal nuclear device or having someone detonate one here in the United States and blame it on Putin. My personal opinion is the latter is more relevant.
Just saying
Did you even watch the video?

We have elected governments who seem powerless now against these groups they join or don’t join.
We are in a group think era.
I have been ignoring as much as possible for blood pressure reasons but thought to toss this out; WEF wants to send out new bio weapon? Hemorrhagic Fever? It has been popping up in Europe? Ukraine has US bio weapon plants scattered around? Putin is not evil but recognizes that his country is in danger?
Ukraine walked away from negotiations and lobbed at Russian border towns first? That would explain why Russian boys thought they were peace keeping? Our Friends from that region say Putin is well liked. They intermarry just as we would New Jersey and New York.
To me, Putin saying that America has weapons pointing at him is same as weapons on our border makes sense.
Question Authority.
Every single American has a God-given right to ask whether complying with a criminal Junta – one that seized power from America’s democratically elected leadership and is, at the very least, beholden to America’s enemies – whether complying, in wartime or in peacetime, is worth the “credibility” and increased power that compliance and obedience grants the enemy-friendly Junta.
Hopefully, more than +80,000,000 Americans are, perhaps in tremulous silence, asking themselves this question of questions, as it becomes clearer and clearer, even to the most TDS-blind, that the destruction we are seeing is entirely on purpose.
Why are conservatives suddenly believing the media in regards to everything Russia/Ukraine? So few are questioning the narrative? Do we believe they are suddenly telling the truth? If you question anything the left and their media mouthpieces report, you are suddenly a “Russian troll” or a “Putin stooge”. No, I’m not saying Putin is a good guy, but that doesn’t automatically make Ukraine the good guy either. There actually can be two wrongs.

When you put 100 black ants & 100 red fire ants in a jar nothing will happen. But if you take the jar & shake in violently and leave it on the table, the ants will start killing themselves. The red ants believe the blacks are the enemies & vice versa, when the real enemy is the person who shook the jar. The same is true for society. …….. Before we fight each other, we must ask ourselves: WHO SHOOK THE JAR.🤔
Remember to whom these politicians owe their existence, their big homes & their investment increases! It isn’t the public. The MSM is owned/used by 6 Corporations. These Corporations are aligned with the Global Elite who want Control of ALL resources! The Agenda is in play & proceeding as Planned!
