The general sense in the pro-NATO/Ukraine camp is that this latest ‘package’ from the US, augmented by European donations, is going to amount to a ‘Game Changer’. One lady on ‘X’, based in Kiev, described a broadcast on Russian tv dedicated to analyzing this latest serving of deadly hardwa…

What to expect from the Empire?
Actual developments in a war may surprise you, even as you have no reason to amend your outlook of where the war is going, and how it will end. Certain choices fit the general strategy of the warring parties, even if you had not anticipated them, or not just yet. But those toeing the line of NATO an…
Going after symbols
Today I was watching yet another YouTube video from ‘Times Radio’, which has been declaring the imminent downfall of Putin for over two years now. As well as nothing but losses for the Russians as the brave Ukrainians axe the Russian military might. Invariably the people talking refer to ‘Brit…
Killing the messenger
The US and European NATO-countries are emptying their warehouses in an attempt to stem the tide, as Ukraine is losing badly all along the frontlines, or so it seems. At the same time Blinken is in China to threaten the country with repercussions if it refuses to dump Russia by the wayside, and hand …
Cheering for extra time, and more casualties
Credible sources I use insist that the collective west simply doesn’t have the capacity to produce enough weapons and ammo for Ukraine to satisfy demand. The simple fact that the Czech president was declared a hero for finding shells in ‘third’ countries, while it may take another year for them …
In the fog of war
The major news regarding the wars NATO and its allies are waging was the approval of a long awaited ‘aid package’ of $61 billion from the US to Ukraine. Clearly, this is subsidy for the American weapons industry, and a windfall for anyone invested in it, gambling on a last moment change of heart o…
Who do you want to lead?
On ‘Tik-Tok’ Boris Johnson told the world that NATO can’t afford to lose Ukraine, since it would be the end of western ‘Hegemony’. Did he really say that, or was that some kind of ‘Deep Fake’ production? Western ‘Hegemony? Really? Increasingly we need to question stuff presented to u…
Are we dealing with a Death Cult?
Multiple warheads struck Israel during the recent attack by Iran. Despite the efforts of Israel, and her NATO allies, and Jordan, to intercept them. Reportedly the total cost to Israel and its allies in spent inventory was 1.3 Billion Dollars, since these missiles and aircraft, with their support, d…
How did it come to this?
In our part of the world, roughly the ‘G-7 countries’, their EU-partner and Israel, the adults have left the room after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In part it was an accident waiting to happen, with an increasing number of people rejecting the concept of individual responsibility, shifting t…
This is so sad
Drones struck the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) and adjacent training center, with representatives of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) present. Ukraine says that Russia did it, although the Russians are the present owners of the ZNPP, and Ukraine targeted the plant before. It…
Why Clausewitz matters
If you do not possess the means to defend yourself, you need to get the Hell out of Dodge, or negotiate. Researchers identified a 'Fight or Flight'-impulse ages ago as a natural response in a threatening situation. It was thought that 'negotiating' was typical for humans, until researchers found tha…
What is Macron up to?
But is it true? We all know that the first victim of war is the truth. Some sources are more reliable than others and in general a party losing badly will try to obscure the facts so as not to hurt morale or sink the interest of 'investors'. Navigating this maze to analyse what we are witnessing tak…
Striking at Russia
Ukraine struck a production center for drones in Russia, 1200 kilometers from its border, with an aircraft looking a lot like a converted Cessna, apparently filled with explosives. It was either piloted, or converted to be remotely piloted, using a satellite link. The normal range of such a tiny sin…
How are our wars coming along?
What a shitshow! On my 'timeline' at 'X' nothing but cheerleaders for more war with Russia. Some paid professionals, or retired warhorses, others passionate haters, and none of them with a fitting analysis of the current situation. Each and every one of them happily repeating the NATO-consensus narr…
Yes, I'm back
While I was gone on a 'Get Away from it All'-trip in Asia, lots of things happened. On 'X' I offered my points of view as 'threads', and as comments below the observations or breaking news of others. I noticed that visitors to this blog kept coming at intervals, although there were no new contributi…
An orgy of mistakes
So, 'Project Ukraine' is not going as planned. Since the New York Times revealed how the CIA went in head first immediately after Nuland's 2014 coup proved partially successful, to use the country as a launching pad for operations against Russia, well ahead of the 'SMO', there can be no doubt left a…
Watch my back
According to Zerohedge the Pentagon said that if Ukraine loses the war, NATO will be at war with Russia, which follows on the heels of Putin's statement that NATO-countries sending troops to Ukraine to protect it means they will get 'nuked'. I'm leaving Europe for a couple of weeks after the weekend…
Will Ukraine cut us loose?
Putting lipstick on a pig, that's what NATO is trying to do. After the fall of Avdeevka, the Russians keep moving. And there is nothing Ukraine can do to stop them. I don't even have to add 'or so it seems', because this panic driven meeting in Paris where Macron announced that 'boots on the ground'…
Keeping up appearances
The Russians lost a Beriev A-50 'early warning' airplane over the Sea of Azov. While there have been claims that they lost one not too long ago, that was not confirmed at the time, but this time video-confirmation of the burning wreckage, and an aircraft dispensing flares in flight before it was hit…
Take us out of this Cuckoo's Nest
Right after the entire world reached the conclusion that NATO's 'Spring Offensive', using Ukrainian soldiers, was an abysmal failure, your 'trusted mainstream analysts' rushed to the camera's and their 'embedded' publications to tell the people 'back home' that we had a 'frozen conflict' on our hand…
