Do you remember when President Trump’s emissary Steve Witkoff recently revealed how the CIA was deliberately misinforming him and the U.S negotiating group about the status of Hamas? {GO DEEP} Essentially Witkoff shared that in mid-east negotiations, in real time as the events unfolded, the CIA was generating false intelligence reports that were complete fabrications disconnected from the reality of the events unfolding on the ground.
Well, if you remember that recent example, then this report leaked to Reuters starts to make sense.
According to “six sources familiar with U.S. intelligence” the CIA is generating reports that Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin intends to march all the way through Ukraine to the Polish border: thereby taking control of the entire country.
According to the “six sources familiar with U.S. intelligence,” President Trump is ignoring their intelligence reports. This would be a little funny, if the consequences of this rogue Global Intelligence Apparatus were not worrisome. However, given the fact that no head of state in any western country can be sure the Intelligence Community is not operating independently, the Reuters report takes on context.
As the story is told, four months ago U.S. intelligence told President Trump that Putin was going to invade Europe. For some reason President Trump, Marco Rubio and Steve Witkoff ignored them. Perhaps now we discover the benefit of having the former chair of the senate intelligence committee as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State.
WASHINGTON/PARIS, Dec 19 (Reuters) – U.S. intelligence reports continue to warn that Russian President Vladimir Putin intends to capture all of Ukraine and reclaim parts of Europe that belonged to the former Soviet empire, six sources familiar with U.S. intelligence said, even as negotiators seek an end to the war that would leave Russia with far less territory.
The reports present a starkly different picture from that painted by U.S. President Donald Trump and his Ukraine peace negotiators, who have said Putin wants to end the conflict. The most recent of the report’s dates from late September, according to one of the sources.
The intelligence also contradicts the Russian leader’s denials that he is a threat to Europe.
The U.S. findings have been consistent since Putin launched his full-scale invasion in 2022. They largely align with the views of European leaders and spy agencies that he covets all of Ukraine and territories of former Soviet bloc states, including members of the NATO alliance, according to the sources.
“The intelligence has always been that Putin wants more,” Mike Quigley, a Democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee, said in a Reuters interview. “The Europeans are convinced of it. The Poles are absolutely convinced of it. The Baltics think they’re first.”
Russia controls about 20% of Ukraine’s territory, including the bulk of Luhansk and Donetsk, the provinces that comprise the industrial heartland of the Donbas, parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson provinces and Crimea, the strategic Black Sea peninsula.
Putin claims Crimea and all four provinces as belonging to Russia. Trump is pressuring Kyiv to withdraw its forces from the small part of Donetsk they control as part of a proposed peace deal, according to two sources familiar with the matter, a demand that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and most Ukrainians reject.
“The president’s team has made tremendous progress with respect to ending the war” and Trump has stated that a peace deal “is closer than ever before,” said a White House official without addressing the intelligence reports. (read more)
Actually, according to the “six intelligence sources” these Russia invading Europe reports have been generated all year, with the most recent of them in September.
It’s almost as if the U.S. intelligence bureaucrats within both the State Dept and the Intelligence Community are angered that President Trump is not constructing foreign policy according to their worldview.
We can laugh now. Make sure you watch the video from Viktor Orban below. 😂🤣😂

Where does Ratcliffe fit in this story?
He doesn’t. The CIA functions without Ratcliffe’s input, even as Ratcliffe draws a paycheck.
Establishment Ratcliffe is ok with the status quo.
Riding his bicycle in circles at the end of the driveway?
Tucked away sleeping under his desk holding his blankie apparently.
Who or what is a Ratcliffe?
Interesting that he has been soooo quiet…this “story” should have him coming out of his hole soon.
he reports to trump.
where the buck presumedly stops.

I think Ratcliffe’s usefulness is that he is quietly assisting DNI Tulsi Gabbard make more foundational changes.
Thank God we have Tulsi.
This feels like when FJB kept saying Russia was going to attack.
In 1983, I worked in a Russian Siberian coal mine.
The US mining machines we were assembling, took over 6 month to reach the Siberia mine after delivery to a Russian seaport!
I quickly realized that Russia is a vast area with few people so their transportation capacity to move large amounts of stuff quickly was very limited because with so few people they couldn’t afford excessively big transportation networks.
Canada has the exact same problem as Russia does. Vast distances and few people to pay for it.
Canada too depends upon a single rail network, like Russia does to move goods.
By the way, 0Russian railway gauge is wider than European railways for the sole reason to make it very difficult for foreign invaders to use the railway to invade Russia! Just ask Germany about that problem!
After working in Siberia, I was no longer afraid that Russia would invade Europe!
They couldn’t because they didn’t have the railway capacity and most certainly did not have the trucks needed to support and supply an army!
Dam it, we always faced a shortage of trucks at the Siberian coal mine just to move machinery parts from the railway to our mine building sites! We could see the dam machinery parts we needed sitting by the railway, but couldn’t move them due to a shortage of trucks at the coal mine!
Anyways, Canada is more liiely to invade the US because we have some US built trucks!
Thank you. It’s always a good thing to have the perspective of one who has had eyes on.
Mined most of my life assembled the first Cat 793 Truck in Alaska. As well as 2 5230s and a coupla 994 loaders. Miners are a special people.
Russia has everything it needs and so much land it will never develop 1/2 of it. Similar to the rest of the world. They do not have a deep water port and the people in the Donbass want to be in the Russian state Hence the war.
If the world leaders would help their people develop instead of stealing their hard earned $$$ we would be so far ahead every person could have a piece of land cattle garden and lotsa joy. But we have the Greedy.
Your comment is spot on.
I spent half a decade in post Soviet Russia (80s and 90s). Contrary to the CIA propaganda that I digested, the Soviets were not 13 feet tall and were not superhuman. What shocked me the most was the COMPLETE lack of infrastructure in the country for transporting materiel (war stuff or food) and the country’s complete rural nature. People who have not been there do not understand. It’s a far different place than what our so-called leaders are telling us it is, and their motivations are far different (as a society or even their leaders) than what we are told.
“In 1983, I worked in a Russian Siberian coal mine.”
I hope you were not wearing ankle bracelets.
PS: See my comment below.
No, I wondered around town, taking pictures as I pleased. No one followed me around.
Since I was raised in a small northern Canadian mine town, there really wasn’t a whole lot to see Or do.
I did see wooden houses where one corner might be a foot or two higher than other corners due to heaving of the ground but that was because they had no basements.
Otherwise it was just like Canada’s north.
Most folks wouldn’t really want to live up north.
I agree. I lived in the Ural Mountain region, 3 hours north of Ekaterinburg, from 2015 until February 2022. Old railways, old factories, old buses to transport a majority of workers to the factories, mostly 2 lane highways with OLD trucks, old wood houses, and probably 90% apartment buildings are post WW2.
Hmm…. well, actually, FJB called that one correctly. Russia did attack and invade Ukraine. And the usual crowd of Putin apologists here were caught completely off guard They had said for weeks, during Putin’s border build up, that the Deep State is justa rattling our chains, Uncle Vlad won’t invade………..
I don’t think even Zelensky believed it would happen.
I’m not discounting the truth of what Witkoff asserts. Has a persons(s) been identified who controlled the fabricated information dissemination? Reports are sourced to originators organizationally. Very likely internal records are kept of analysts. There are digital traces, point-of-origin, etc. After a while the hand wringing over internal deep state traitors gets ignored – tired of this stir the base BS. Root these people out and parade them as traitors to the American people.
What Witkoff is asserting is intent – deliberately fabricated intelligence. So, either there is knowledge of actual Russian plans, the intel agencies are just poor analysts or there is concrete proof of fabrication. Regardless, everyone knows in the hypothetical of a major war with Russia all required resources would be allocated to root out internal traitors – i.e., I don’t buy into the cover that we can’t figure out who these people are.
Good point but either way this is a CRAZY situation. Wholesale, massive changes are needed but I don’t think the political will to fix them exists.
It cannot be fixed, it can only be abolished.
Agree.
It would indeed be interesting to review the journey from original intelligence through ascending levels of interpretation. I can only suspect there is more spin and less factual basis until the final conclusions have little to do with the intel.
A process anyone who has worked for gov’t knows well!
At the core of it all, however, is the integrity of the data, the institutions and the people involved.
“U.S. intelligence reports continue to warn that Russian President Vladimir Putin intends to capture all of Ukraine and reclaim parts of Europe”…
Those “reports” did not crop up out of thin air. People with names generated them. People with names distributed them. Name them and expose them.
Yes, specifics, even a few, from the reports are a must to see. And the evidence for them, is it the same crowd of IA yahoos that worked on Russis Russia Russia and the Biden laptop? Are they still employed?
Hold mass war tribunals then string’m up with piano wire.
“we must protect methods and sources”
also:
“you caused agents in the field to be in danger”
etc.
i say let it roll anyway
sounds like WMD and other fabricated crises to go fire up the war machine.. infuriating.. but we are gullible no more
Just because we disagree with what the intelligence reports warn of does not automatically mean we should discount them and persecute the authors. Policy makers need to hear and consider different perspectives, if only to confirm their own beliefs. There is danger in surrounding oneself with people who only tell you what you want to hear.
Some analyst on an obscure desk deep in the State Department generates a report that reveals Putin’s alleged intentions and sends it in. It might be roundly rejected, but what happened? Now, a U.S. intelligence report warned that, “Russian President…” Repeat this from another desk/agency, and now U.S. intelligence REPORTS warn… Do it a couple more times and now a veritable FLOOD of intelligence reports, all bogus, warn of the same stupid nonsense.
It really becomes a problem when those nonsense reports are “distributed” (leaked) for the purpose of undermining the president/nation. Leakers must be punished.
Why doesn’t Congress reinstate the Smith-Mundt Act that would make it illegal government institutions to leak or use propaganda to the media to affect public opinion.
As I understand, the original Smith-Mundt Act made it legal to use propaganda internationally(National Security), but not domestically.
Obama changed the Act to allow it to be done domestically as well.
They will probably do it anyway, but at least it would be against the law.
This will be fakestream news fodder for their deep state propagandist talking heads to use on the mesmerized listeners. More proof the mocking bird media exists.
I am fine with the Russian Federation taking the entire Soviet Republic of Ukraine. That is the way I see the place.
Part Russian, part Polish, part Romanian, part Ukrainian.
The current geographical boundaries of Ukraine were set in USSR agricultural planning meetings.
Some territory was taken from countries such as Poland. And Europeans care more about “territory” than anything else in the world. (Not so much Russia: they’ve got more “territory” than they can use.)
There was also Galicia from 1772 to 1919 under the Austrian Empire and then the Austrian Hungarian Empire. I posted a 1882 map of Austrian Galicia in the above comment.
And the Western part was under the Austrian Empire and then Austrian Hungarian Empire from 1772 to 1919. The Austrians redesigned Lviv and called it Lemberg. It looks mostly like an Austrian city because it is one. The Austrians called Galicia “Austria Siberia”. Higher level education was in German.

Russia is NOT going to invade Europe.
That is an idle threat, a complete lie, fabricated by the same WARPIG maniacs and their handlers who brought the world other lies such as how they were going to confiscate frozen Russian assets held in European banks (which would have collapsed their banking system) AND another outrageous whopper about how European officials are quietly discussing the potential sale of trillions in US Treasury holdings as a retaliatory measure if the US stops backing the Ukraine (which would completely destroy the EU since the US provides them military security and financial stability).
This is a link to a post about the Ukraine and Russia that I put up eleven days ago and includes two maps that help illustrate what is going on and what is to become of the Ukraine.

Where the heck did you get the daft idea I thought they were Fuzzy?
Obviously the captured 3 letter agencies are in on the grift so deep they will never get out. Traitorous thugs that require mass termination.
The moment I read this headline (elsewhere) I believed our President was being gaslighted by the IC supposedly working for him and us. Tulsi has her hands full. They are the point of the spear now to overthrow our Constitution and take full control of our government.
And Dan B is resigning, not because of his shortcomings, but because, I believe, of what he has learned. This scrap of a quote from X in July:
“what I have learned in the course of our properly predicated and necessary investigations into these aforementioned matters, has shocked me down to my core. We cannot run a Republic like this. I’ll never be the same after learning what I’ve learned. “
I’m already not the same, now having the evidence to understand the Fourth Estate, and more fully understand the depth and breadth, and what it will take to succeed in the counterrevolution. Something that has not happened in recorded history, but we can hope in one thing – Our nation is something that has not happened in recorded history, and we must consider how we can do this again, in our lifetimes.
We are in the midst of a revolution in our nation. We must counter it. All four boxes are needed.
I imagine most of us would be “shocked to our core” if we learned how manipulated our government has been the last few decades. I believe we are walking on thin ice as a functioning Republic. I have no way to blame individuals as our Republic demise has been a team effort…bill
I hope in the next American Republic they learn to never allow a CIA or bureau to ever rise again. They have certainly ruined this one.
“the next American Republic,” eh?
If you are thinking in that direction, I invite you to check out my website.
Deep State wants never ending war. Their bank accounts and control of humanity depends on it.
Very sad and very scary to consider that Trump has to use our Intelligence Community as a reverse barometer of what to expect on the world stage.
According to those paragons of smart … LTC McGregor and these same INTEL Sources … Russian Army is devastated, the Russian economy is devastated, the Ukrainians will ultimately win the war …. but those pesky Russians just won’t go away and are currently advancing at a rate of about 1 mile or so every 2 months vs the valiant Ukrainians … who’s military aged population is sooo patriotic and seems to be deserting the Ukraine in increasing numbers.
Let’s do a simple calculation. It is roughly 550 miles from the current front line to the Polish Border, near Lvov or Moldova.
At their current rate of advance that is 110 months to just get to the Polish Border if all stays as is or 9+ years before the Russians even consider directly occupying anything belonging to the EU and NATO.
That is 9+ years of major destructive OPERATIONAL friction rubbing against a Russian Army falling apart and failing Russian Economy. OPERATIONAL Friction is a very interesting Military subject that was taught at the Frunze Academy during the USSR days and copied by the equivalent US War Schools at Ft Leavenworth and Carlisle barracks for a while.
Interesting note: Remember the Mark Rutte of NATO fame encouraging the EU members to have their military spending at 5% in 10 years …. makes one wonder. But then again … Mark Rutte also stated the Russians will be invading the EU within 5 years.
It would be helpful if the stories were at least kept in the realm of the believable. //sarc
Of course these people are counting on topical ignorance and utter lack of critical thinking among the la la landers when telling these stories. They are also counting on the MSM not pointing out all these inconvenient facts.
“The U.S. findings have been consistent since Putin launched his full-scale invasion in 2022. They largely align with the views of European leaders and spy agencies that he covets all of Ukraine and territories of former Soviet bloc states, including members of the NATO alliance, according to the sources.“
Who was running the show in 2022? The same people that are “sources familiar with…”
Just point at them & laugh as you walk away.
The agency that must not be named, the Intelligence Community, the IC, all of those references miss the mark and fail to identify the REAL problem: the ghost of The Ghost still runs the shop for the benefit of the foreign country that turned him. He sold us out, and through his successors that agency has been run by elements within that foreign government ever since. Hey, what better way to take over an intelligence agency than to turn its head of counterintelligence? Beautiful simplicity.
Anyway, I expect 47 knows all this full well, as do Sec Rubio, Witkoff, Jared, and Tulsi. So, one might ask “why don’t we just clean house? Take that agency back for America First?”
Well, what better way to get a clear picture of what that foreign government REALLY wants than to have it constantly generating agency reports that disclose precisely that by the directions they try to push us in? No guessing. No sifting through multiple layers of lies. No insiders or doubles who can’t be trusted anyway. Just let them run their game. Then use the intel their FALSE intel generates. Another stroke of beautiful simplicity.
So, why would certain interests in that country want to stir up a full out war between Russia and the EU, or even bigger, between Russia and The West including the US? Play it out. What’s left? And who’s to stop you then?
Cross, double cross, triple cross, home.
Information is out there. You just have to let it in.
War is big business. We would sell weapons and planes to the EU even as they tried to get us involved in fighting. We have treaties with NATO that we will intervene if Russia attacks. But, until then think of all of the tanks, Hummers, Jeeps, weapons, ammunition, bombs, drones, etc. that we can sell them. There are billions and maybe trillions at stake, as Sundance often says.
That’s what the CIA wants. Eisenhower’s dreaded military-industrial complex seems to be the CIA’s goal.

That would be because they are directly influenced by UK and EU forces and in fact have embedded within their ranks people whose allegiances are most definitely NOT to the United States and her people, but instead to the EU/UK (majority UK) principals who are hidden in the shadows and wanting this war.
Yes and President Trump is letting them all out themselves.
If he were to say “these people (whoever they are) are lying to me” he would be impeached and thrown out of office for mental illness.
What he did do was let Mr. Witkoff tell us.
He’s letting them reveal themselves and at the same time giving us time to absorb the fact that the intelligence agencies we pay for are working against us.
When not trafficking drugs and children, rigging foreign and domestic elections or shooting people at universities, rallies and golf courses, the CIA is conducting their own Foreign Policy. You know–the Way the Framers Intended(tm).

Is “six intelligence sources” a troll on “six ways to Sunday”?
The director of the CIA reports to the DNI and the President. Why can’t they be ordered not to release false and damaging reports?
Intel careers are made not so much by brilliant perceptions but by avoidance of BLAME. Naturally this sort of speculative intel will reach the worst conclusions, while probably missing the real threats.
Have Russian hardliners and “Eurasia” ideologues made it clear they would like to reconstitute the Soviet empire? Sure. Does that make it a policy objective? Possibly for some. Does Russia have the resources to bring it off? Decidedly not. After the Russian experience in Ukraine, taking on Poland, the Baltics, Finland and Scandinavia, the EU, NATO, and the US simultaneously would be insane.
But without a peace settlement now, Russia will eventually grind through the whole of Ukraine. Trump’s strategy is to keep Russia on the east side of Ukraine, and use the European side as a buffer state protected by NATO. Which of the two options offers better protection for Poland, etc.?
The CIA, like the FBI, neet to be closed down and completely rebuilt from the ground up. The CIA has a lot of overlap with other agencies and ultimately costs us double when gathering some intelligence. Why does the CIA need it’s own army?
Ratcliff, fits in here. As Director of the CIA, he could control what intelligence is fraud and what fraud is shared with our allies. Ratcliff works for the President. Trump could order this misinformation stopped.
The CIA, like the FBI, needs to be closed down.
AND NEVER REBUILT!!!

It is all fake and gay. The lumbering statist bureaucracies do not understand that the internet is undefeated. They roll out the same propagandistic playbook that worked in 1945, 1965, 1985, and 2005 without understanding that their lies can be debunked immediately and that the general attitude toward them is distrust in all things at all times. It is remarkable to watch.

They haven’t even gotten to Kyiv in 3 years. lol
One of their first operations was to feint straight at Kyiv, thus tying down Ukranian forces to defend the city. But then, the Russian troops withdrew on their own, with no one pursuing them. In the meantime, Russia had established her positions where she actually wanted them. It was a brilliant deception. (The Russians are very, very good at deception.)
Russia stated on day-one what her objectives were, and what they were not. Russia does not fight wars in “Western” fashion. They never have.
You have just proven that you understand nothing about the Russian way of pursuing war.
lol @ Orban’s video. The ghouls at EU headquarters must really hate that.
Thank God Rubio is involved, because he knows firsthand how the CIA lies. And may God protect him and his family from those IC demons. It’s well past time to call the CIA traitors home and warehouse them, because they damn sure aren’t working for the USA anymore.
By warehouse I assume you mean a nice facility featuring three hots and a cot, chain link fence topped with razor wire, and daily yard time while they wait for their trials, no?
They have been telling us this since the end of WW2.
They are generating AI-like hallucinations to seek more power and funding.
On the other hand, many here on this very site (ahem) maintained 4 years ago pre-invasion that Putin would NOT invade Ukraine, that his massing of troups across the border was just a head fake, messing with the West, posturing. And those here (ahem) who maintained that position stuck to it right up to the very day Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, ignoring Putin’s own claim that the dismantling of the Soviet empire was the “greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.” Why would the leader of the remnants of the empire whose dismantling was the greatest catastrophe NOT have designs on reassembling it? Especially when he has Dugin whispering fairy tales in his ear of a Great Historical Russian Civilization, a civilization that never existed, a complete fabrication, a fairy tale.
Russia “invaded Ukraine” because she could plainly see that Ukraine/EU/NATO was about to “invade” her. She seized the military advantage by striking first – and has never lost that advantage since. She had exhausted every diplomatic angle – and her opponents finally admitted that all of the diplomacy had been a ruse.
Russia has consistently demonstrated that she knows what war is, how to fight one, and how to win. Her opposition does not, for all their bloviating and posturing. They simply do not have the capacity to do it.

The Military-Industrial Complex needs a “bugaboo.” And now, they want “Russia” to be “it.”
Russia is geographically the largest country on earth. (Canada is second.) It is fully self-sufficient, possessed of abundant natural resources of all kinds. And Europe wants them. Immediately after “V-E Day,” Winston Churchill hatched a plan called “Operation Unthinkable,” in which he would turn traitor on his former “ally,” the USSR. His goal, then, is exactly the same goal that EU/NATO has now, and for which they have spent years in preparation.
Victoria Nuland articulated this plan by publishing a map of “forty-odd little rump countries,” with boundaries based on known natural resources. She gave each one a name, and a flag. It seemed so easy. Western sanctions would bring Russia to her knees, and a pumped-up Ukranian invasion force would finish the rest. Putin would be deposed and Russia would be split up as described. Ripe for plunder.
That was the plan then, and it is still the plan now. But, EU/NATO is faced with the cold reality that she does not possess the military capability to do it. That’s why she wants to bring the United States into the scene. But this raises some serious questions of its own – could we do it, either? Don’t be so sure.
But, “The Bear” has never lost a war, in her many centuries of recorded history, and she is not going to do so now. And, whereas Europe has happily forgotten what “War” actually is, Russia will never allow her countrymen to forget.
The Ghost Battalions.
A couple of observations:
If Russia were imminently going to take the rest of Ukraine, why haven’t they in the past four years?
If Russia were imminently going to invade the rest of Europe, what exactly would be its motives?
The CIA needs to be disbanded, its mission spread to the other intelligence agencies (we all know that Naval Intelligence is the best and leaks the least)
Dynamite the buildings and build a park over the remains
Do the same with the FBI and park its mission in other agencies. Dynamite the buildings and salt the Earth so nothing grows in its place
There, I feel better but the world is still f__ed up
I just loved the Victor Orban Ghostbusters Twitter video. Thank you for the laughs.
The problem is that the IC and EU affirmatively want Russia to attack Europe. After all, there are trillions at stake, eh? Secondly, if for no other reason, they wish to perpetuate the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. DJT has ignored the IC warnings, proving he is in Russia’s back pocket. If Russia can be provoked, that would prove DJT’s incompetence and collusion with Russia, no? Third, Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia. In other words, taking a page out of George Orwell’s book, the EU / Western Europe needs Russia to be the bogey man, otherwise how do they justify the totalitarian methods being used against their own “subjects” in order to retain power.
Now, the IC’s only task is to provoke Russia into launching a retaliatory attack against Europe for the drone and other strikes being conducted deep inside of Russia. The hope being that this is the final blow necessary to finally drive a stake through the heart of DJT’s political career. Otherwise, three more years of DJT as POTUS may permanently damage the Uniparty / IC / Deep State status quo. The potential for J.D. Vance follow in DJT’s political footsteps is particularly frightening for them. Therefore, the Trump Train must be discredited and derailed at all costs, even if it takes thousands if not millions of innocent European civilian deaths to accomplish it.
“Vladimir Putin is Planning to Attack All of Europe”
Oh, Yeah. Putin, the tactician, has lost approximately 1 million troops (btw, a vastly disproportionate number of the dead conscripts, coming from Siberia, which is distained by the Russian elite, like fly-over country here only worse), and has learned that his military is surprisingly ineffective at offence is planning an attack on Europe??
I would be suspicious of this so-called ‘intelligence’.
The Europeans are begging for war with Russia. What’s the problem?
Oh wait, they are begging for war with Russia with the US fighting the war.
Past time to abandon these lunatics.
Putin has one helluva job. I can’t imagine
So our always reliable sources say the reduced capability Red Army; economic problems Russia is now going to attack Europe?? Unless Putin is totally self destructive or has gone mad, not likely.
Wait, let me see if I get this right. The spooks say Russia is going to invade western Europe, Poland and the Baltics, thereby picking a fight with every NATO nation?
The same Russia that can’t beat 2nd rate (at best) Ukraine in 3 years.
The same Russia that has burned through a significant fraction (by some accounts, well over 50%) of its armored vehicles and modern self propelled artillery systems.
The same Russia that has had a notable chunk of its Air Force destroyed, either on the ground or in the air.
The same Russian that is short on ammunition such that it’s importing vast quantities from wherever it can get it, like from North Korea.
The same Russia that has suffered significant losses in personnel over the last 3 years, again, while going up against only a single 2nd rate power.
Question to the spooks: How stupid do you think we are? Putin, while a thug, is a logical, rational thug. Russia can’t even beat 2nd rate Ukraine, what makes anyone think a logical, rational thug would pick a fight with ~25 nations he’s foregone to lose to, and lose badly? His ground and air forces would, as the Chieftain says, have a severe emotional event when meeting the raw power of a fully unleashed USAF. His naval forces would rapidly meet in Davy Jones Locker.
Please, anyone, provide a plausible case where the Russian military forces could stand up to, never mind succeed in an active offensive action against, US led NATO forces.
Europe on the Ropes — And It Shows.
Darlings, Europe isn’t wobbling. Europe is face-down, mascara smeared, clutching the referee’s leg and insisting it’s winning.
When a so-called “civilized” continent has to steal Russian assets to keep a war alive, that’s not policy—that’s panic in sensible shoes.
That’s the political equivalent of pawning grandma’s dentures to pay the bar tab. If theft is your strategy, you’re not standing tall—you’re on your last, trembling legs.
The ruling elite knows it. Oh, they know it. That’s why they look like frightened deer trapped in a Davos conference room.
They cannot stop the war because if it stops, they stop. Careers vaporize. Reputations implode. The champagne corks pop—but not for them. So they keep marching, eyes glazed, straight into the abyss they created.
Money? Gone. Vapor. A rumor. The coffers are emptier than their promises. The printing presses wheeze like asthmatic hamsters. Meanwhile, the peasants—remember them?—are boiling.
Heating bills are obscene. Food prices are criminal. Factories shut. Jobs vanish. And suddenly those “fringe protests” look an awful lot like the opening act.
Economy tanking. Prices screaming. Europe’s back slammed hard against the wall. No exits. No Plan B. Just frantic whispering and louder lies.
So they do what desperate elites always do: they lie louder.
Ukraine is winning! Victory is imminent! Just one more sanction, one more seizure, one more fairy tale! If only we grab Russian assets, then everything turns magical, then Europe is free, prosperous, virtuous, redeemed!
It’s adorable. Delusional—but adorable.
Because here’s the ugly truth crashing through the makeup: they are the problem. Not Russia. Not history. Not reality. They are the architects of Europe’s misery. Their arrogance. Their incompetence. Their moral cosplay.
Now all they have left is the holy trinity of failure:
Demonize Russia.
Flood the airwaves with propaganda.
Issue infantile threats no one fears anymore.
That’s not power. That’s a nervous breakdown with a press release.
Europe isn’t on the ropes because it’s under attack.
Europe is on the ropes because its leaders confused hubris for wisdom—and now the bill is due.
And darling, this time, no one is picking up the check.

The CIA is like the media. No matter how many times they’re proven wrong, they still expect to be believed every time.
