The article itself is weak sauce in the extreme, “according to new U.S. intelligence reports that posit possible scenarios” blah, blah, blah… You know the routine.
However, that said, there is a general alignment of intent that tracks this narrative as expressed by the Wall Street Journal.
CTH doesn’t try to convince anyone. Convincing is an endless quest. However, if you just look at the datapoints that have surfaced since June 11th, there is a greater likelihood of some kind of western kinetic activity that can be carried out in order to stimulate more opposition to Russia. Some form of false flag operation.
That approach would track with what we have witnessed in the past two months as Ukraine makes public claims in media that are expressly opposite of the action they are taking. CTH has been pointing this out along the way. It is prudent to notice things, particularly when those things can be consequential to the interests of EU-controllled intelligence.
WASHINGTON—Russian President Vladimir Putin could try to test NATO’s resolve with a limited assault on an allied country in the next few years, according to new U.S. intelligence reports that posit possible scenarios ranging from a cyberattack to a small-scale land incursion.
The assessments, described by U.S. officials, come amid a shortfall in certain critical munitions that the military would need to confront Russia or China in a potential future war. The U.S. has severely degraded its stockpile of these weapons because of transfers to Ukraine after Russia’s invasion, as well as the U.S. conflict with Iran. Stockpiles at risk include long-range Precision Strike Missiles and Army Tactical Missile Systems, as well as short-range Stinger surface-to-air missiles, other officials said.
The U.S. had previously assessed that Putin wouldn’t provoke a North Atlantic Treaty Organization country while he is still fighting in Ukraine. But that assessment changed earlier this year, the U.S. officials said, as Putin is squeezed in Ukraine and under pressure at home to secure a victory. Kyiv’s drones are inflicting growing damage on both Russia’s army and oil industry, while Putin’s forces are making smaller gains at the front line amid heavy casualties. (read more)
They even parroted Biden’s use of the term “minor incursion” from 2022.
Sorry WSJ, I really think NATOs response to the Ukraine War is more like DefCab’s ‘Riptides’:
“I’m too tired to talk
I’m too tired to end the war
And I can’t seem to hold it together
Anymore
I’m too tired to start
I can’t bring you up to speed
There’s too many riptides in this ocean
To proceed”
There’s been a concerted push of various scenarios of recent from multiple directions, including the nonsense about Russia acquiring Ukraine drones to use to attack Eastern European nations…they (not Russia) remain intent on trying to start WWIII.
‘…they (not Russia) remain intent on trying to start WWIII ‘
That appears to be one of the “alt-narratives” fed to those suspicious of the official narratives, such as CTH readers.
Some observe that a form of WWIII has been underway for some time now, as “unrestricted warfare” effecting the global shift underway that will see the declining hegemon superseded by the rising hegemon in the East.
With the declining hegemon actually playing a key part in sinking itself, apparently nudged from behind the scenes in the declining hegemon itself.
The pawn Ukraine used to pull the US and especially the EU down and strengthen Russia/China.
The Iran debacle used to pull the US/Israel down, force substantial US withdrawal and coalesce a new power structure in the middle East starting with Saudi, Turkey, and Pakistan, with Iran to also join which means Russia/China too indirectly.
All aligned with the tectonic shifts underway.
And to make sure the vestiges of exceptionalism in the US don’t jeopardize the tectonic shifts underway, a two-part biowarfare attrition Program was deployed on the US and Five Eyes nations, the first part circa 2020 (engineered virus) and the second part (modRNA shots) starting in 2021. The second part was not deployed on China et al because it is the main payload causing the most harm. This attrition is ongoing and will continue for decades, with repeated “boosting” (pun intended). The latest boost is the modRNA flu shot just FDA-approved despite grossly inadequate safety testing and sky-high short-term adverse events portending even worse genetic manipulation harm long-term.
The fact that the Five Eyes nations were in the vanguard imposing the shots and other biotyranny 2020-2021- with the US implies the identity of the Hidden Hand behind this biowarfare Program.
The US literally attacked Iran in a surprise attack killing all its leaders during peace negotiations. I don’t think there was any nudging there. Ralph Baric, Peter Daszak, and Vincent Munster had been working on bat coronavirses with both NIH and Pentagon grants for decades. The US overthrew the Ukranian government after a 2013 decision by Yanukovych to turn down economic integration with Europe and a breaking of economic ties with Russia. There was no nudging in any of this. All of these were internal decisions by the US governmemt. Brzezinski’s Grand Chessboard has a whole section on breaking off Ukraine from Russia and what that will do to the balance of power in Eurasia. Which isn’t a new idea. The big prize is Crimea. Take Crimea from Russia. Show Turkey Russia has been defeated. Put a thousand NATO ships on Crimea and bottle up Russia on the East coast of the black sea. Cut them off from the Mediterranean and Northern Africa. The US has been working on this since they made contact with the Ukrainian nazis before WW2 ended. Russia temporarily lost Crimea in the Crimean War, WW1, WW2, and after the collapse of the USSR Russia made a deal to lease Sevastopol In perpetuity. This is why Russia seized all of Crimea after the coup in 2014 and built the Kerch bridge. It is also why the West refused to honor Minsk 1, Mibsk 2, and sent Bojo to shut down Istanbul. Because the entire goal is to kick Russia out of Crimea. When the war started russia sent its military in 2 directions . One towards Kiev which everybody talks about. And one towards Mariupol which everybody misremebers as happening later. This was to panic Kiev and force it to defend Kiev while they take the Azov coast and secure Crimea since they know the Kerch bridge will be targeted. The whole purpose of the 2023 NATO planned summer counteroffemsive was to break the “land bridge” and get back down to the Azov coast. The war is not about Ukraine. It is about strategically defeating Russia by removing them from Crimea and turning Crimea into a major NATO naval port.
“killing all its leaders during peace negotiations.”
If I remember correctly, there was a deadline for negotiations that had passed. The lie repeated that the US attacked during negotiations negates anything else said.
The first President that tries to get involved in Europe will light the country on fire. And that goes for Taiwan also.
So Russia can’t close the deal on the gains they made in Victoria’s War, but now they’re going to move on NATO? I am so sick of being lied to. They way the Muslim invasion is going, Russia’s going to be the Last Refuge.
If you are following the Russia/Ukraine situation, then you understand that this paragraph is utter BS: But that assessment changed earlier this year, the U.S. officials said, as Putin is squeezed in Ukraine and under pressure at home to secure a victory. Kyiv’s drones are inflicting growing damage on both Russia’s army and oil industry, while Putin’s forces are making smaller gains at the front line amid heavy casualties.
And unless ‘US officials’ are named, this is just more ‘anonymous’ citations that could come from anywhere. Or nowhere.
This isn’t the WSJ. It is a carefully constructed narrative from a Western public relations firm. Somebody like Edelman or Hill & Knowlton.
False flags coming. Retired General Jack Keene trotted out to expound “Evil Putin must be stopped, NOW!” Fox is so discredited by constantly using Keene for military matters as well as the “Architect” Karl Rove for political inside scoop.
Who are we to believe?
I really need to pray more to get God’s perspective.
Who can we trust?
Personally, I don’t completely trust anyone…including myself.
I start by reading news from a few religious news sources.
Next, I read the Treehouse.
Then I proceed to another group of trusted sources.
When I’m finished, I feel like I have a good overview of what’s going on in the world. None of it is the Gospel.
Sundance sure nailed it, when deeming this world war reddit. The Russian’s blew up their own pipeline! The Russian’s are desperate! The Russian are going to invade a NATO country! ‘Unprovoked invasion!” Ukraine and the grift machine is desperate for another round of that EU seized Russian money, we can be assured of that much. Blow up a depot in Poland? Perfect fit if the goal is more of that money. Tulsi will be sorely missed in that event.
If the shoe were on the other foot, Russian proxies in Mexico landing bomb drones into a Texas oil refinery – what would be the US response?
LoCs have been open for more than a year. Doesn’t matter what media spouts, talks have been taking place for years, and going very well too.
Seems to me that the WSJ is trying to push a narrative that Ukraine is gaining ground in the war now that the US is pulling back from directly supplying arms to them.
The globalists are desperate for control, because they see that Trump has already damaged if not ended their control of world oil supply via the Strait of Hormuz. The City of London is undergoing real threats to their business model especially in the Middle East. They thought if they just put Iran in control of terrorism in the Middle East and the rest of the world, there would be perpetual war in the Middle East.
Iran is losing control of the Strait of Hormuz, which was their major control of the rest of the world through being able to choke travel through the strait. Iran is losing control of the strait and is being put out of business by sanctions and other financial efforts. This is not just the end of Iran’s ability to control others in the Middle East, it is also the end of the City of London’s ability to control world oil prices.
Ukraine is still operating under the aegis of the EU, UK, City of London and the CIA, but this is probably the last time they will control a group of countries. The people of the US DO NOT WANT TO SUPPORT THIS WAR. It is a money laundering effort, and Americans are sick and tired of our tax dollars going to killing an entire generation of young men.
Ideally, it would be helpful to expose the names of those who are the architects of this horrendous war. We need some kind of military tribunal to bring these people to justice who are responsible for all these deaths. Unless people are held responsible, there is nothing stopping more people from using tax dollars for massive destruction of the world’s people.
It is time to reveal those who are the murderers, whether they were the architects of the COVID policies, the members of Congress who signed onto legislation such as the PREP act which is a liability shield for all those who committed crimes in the name of COVID, or whether they are people who had no problem creating this war in Ukraine for war profits and nothing else. There is absolutely no geostrategic benefit to this war for the US and a good argument for there being no benefit for Ukrainians who now face an entire generation lost, people who will never be grandparents, people who will never be parents, men who are facing devastating injuries, etc. all for what? So members of Congress can wave Ukrainian flags in happy expectation of kickbacks they will be receiving for voting for another tranche of several billion dollars to Ukraine? It’s obscene.
