Stay Out Of Conflict With Russia
BY Herschel Smith

United States must stay out. This is not our war. We are not global 911.
This is a strategic trap. Reserve our force for CCP.
My estimation: Russia will attack under the upcoming Comanche Moon — if weather is clear.
Truth spoken. This isn’t our conflict. We have no compelling interest in engagement. If we go to war with Russian troops, unprepared, untrained, fat boys and girls will come home on body bags.
On the other hand, the DoD has driven most patriots out of the military (save the USMC). It would be the sons and daughters of “woke” parents who perish.
I’m glad my son is out of the Marine Corps. He is too.
We won’t be “saving” our troops for China or anyone else. China will take Taiwan and the U.S. won’t lift a finger to stop it.

I haven’t read Yon’s write-up yet, but your & your son’s take are just like my own. This administration WILL get us involved in some purposeless boondoggle.
Someone observed this Administration is like being tied to a chair watching a toddler play with loaded pistols.

Empires all come to an end, usually after about 10 generations (see John Glubb’s essay). Our time is up. The best thing that could happen is if we peacefully broke up into several smaller normal countries.

Why the “Biden” administration wants to goad Ukraine into war with Russia is a mystery. Don’t we have enough problems? Note that this conflict is the result of Obama and the CIA overturning the Ukraine government in 2014. Victoria Nuland told the Russians to “get of the Crimea”.
Now how would we have reacted to the Russians overturning the government of Canada and replacing it with one that is hostile to the U.S. ? In any event Putin was not going to let the Black Sea Fleet base go. So his military was dispatched to secure the Crimea. Many ethnic Russians in Eastern Ukraine wanted no part of the new government so they rebelled. Now Biden’s stooges in the Ukraine are being prodded into a war. Maybe. If sanity does not prevail many Ukrainians will be killed.
The U.S. already screwed Ukraine in 2014. I hope they don’t get that country destroyed completely.

At the risk of sounding flippant, George Soros doesn’t get out of bed in the morning unless he smells money – and lots of it. The same holds true for his fellow billionaire oligarchs. Guys like Soros are interested in places like the Ukraine and Syria because – like sharks homing in on the smell of blood in the water, they sense money to be made.
The driver of geopolitical interest in both of these places, by the U.S. and NATO, over the last decade or more, is tied to competing liquid natural gas and petroleum development projects being backed, respectively, by the U.S.-NATO alliance on one hand, and the Russia-China-Iran alliance on the other.
It isn’t just the gigantic new finds still underground which are at stake, but the development and distribution rights for new and existing fields, also worth billions, which are in play.
Ukraine sits astride critical territory concerning transshipment of oil and LNG to Europe, as well as having reserves itself. Syria’s port city of Tartus is Russia’s key Mediterranean naval base, as well as critically-sited as a crossroads of transshipment of fossil fuels products.
Whatever role NATO may have served at its founding, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is today de facto the private army of the globalists. That includes the United States, its foremost and founding member.
Political scientist Michael Klare penned the book “Resources Wars” almost twenty years ago in 2002, but its message is as relevant as ever. His thesis – amply proven by current events and geopolitics since that time – is that key resources and access to them underlie many, if not most, of the world’s wars, crises and trouble spots. That’s what we’re seeing in places like the Ukraine and Syria.
There is a secondary issue, namely, that the so-called “BRICS” nations pose a threat to the economic and geopolitical dominance of the U.S.-led NATO/Western Bloc. In particular, the PRC, Russia and their allies. The near-panic in the West is that Russia and China will form a Euro-Asian economic bloc which will dwarf that of any possible competitors, including the U.S.-NATO.
There are already concrete steps being taken by both nations, and recent German interest in cooperating with Russia, seems to show that the curtain is falling on U.S.-NATO dominance, i.e., that a member nation of the alliance is openly going outside of it and doing business with the opposition. It hasn’t yet happened, but when/if the Russia-China alliance and their allies manage to install a competing reserve currency of world trade, to displace the USD, the game will well-and-truly be up.
History shows that great nations and empires rise, persist for a time and then fall. Empires, like individual humans, have life cycles. It is the natural order of things. The problem is that the western ruling class, the billionaire globalist oligarchs, refuse to accept this outcome, and are prepared to go to almost any lengths to prevent it. Including touching off a global war – World War Three. In their hubris, they are convinced that they can “manage” the outcome of such a catastrophe to their advantage. They’re quite wrong, but it may take reducing much of the developed world to smoking rubble to convince them of their error, if they can be convinced at all!

Yea. Well Mr. Soros may find that if the neoclowns are not careful (and they never are), that he will not have many places to spend his money.
Recently Putin made the following remarks. ” In response to any attack our military will will not only target the attacking force but also the command structures that sent that force.”
We have special forces in Ukraine now. Where would those forces be commanded from?
Putin also said: “The Western forces who seek to provoke us must understand that Russia will never again fight a war on our soil.”
So. All I am saying is the neoclown scum who think war with Russia is a great idea had better pay attention.
A certain General who used to have an office at the Pentagon had a poster on one of the walls. It said:
There are three kinds of stupid.
#1. There is Stupid.
#2. There is very Stupid.
#3. There is invading Russia Stupid.

Sure! The Ukraine can depend on Biden to help them protect their border from being overrun by Russians.

Democrats love it when our strongest and bravest get killed. It allows them to stay in power longer when those who are most likely to resist them are no longer around.

Why do you think only the USMC has patriots? Patriots are in all branches of service, many just keep their heads down as they are lower enlisted. You think Rangers, elite forces, special ops are somehow leftist stooges? While I’m saddened how far the Army has fallen In this regard, there are still patriots and non brainwashed serving.
