Leonardo da Vinci The madonna of the carnation1478-80 • Worst Fears Realized: Pfizer mRNA Transcribes into DNA (Chudov) • DNA Transcribed from
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle February 28 2022]With SNL I sympathize and live this, but these people are insane. (As I usually think when I watch TV.) What in the actual huck do their emotions have to do with science? We say, “I read a study”. Yeah, so what? There are a lot of studies. Then we discuss the study. Who injected emotion into this and how? When I say, “I read a study on the migratory habits of the butterfly” nobody loses their s—t and unfriends me. Because that’s Science. Which means whatever they think they’re doing here is the #Opposite of Science. Or… Emotion = Science now???
My Fe-Fe’s, the one true #Science. I will have no #Data before thee. Gosh I hope others can at least comprehend this argument.
“Liz Cheney calls out fellow House Republicans for associating with White nationalist event”–CNN
Aside from being false, this from the daughter of the greatest war criminal since Himmler?
Not the Onion:
“”Fallout is most dangerous in the first few hours after the detonation when it is giving off the highest levels of radiation. It takes time for fallout to arrive back to ground level, often more than 15 minutes for areas outside of the immediate blast damage zones.
FEMA recommends the following steps to prevent ‘significant radiation exposure,’ which include “Try to maintain a distance of at least six feet between yourself and people who are not part of your household,” and “If possible, wear a mask if you’re sheltering with people who are not part of your household.”
“Many people already feel fear and anxiety about the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). The threat of nuclear explosion can add additional stress.“And P.S. call 911. I’m sure they’ll be working fine. At least they’re honest: people really do fear Covid far more than nuclear explosions. So very much more.
“Putin placed his nuclear force posture on “high alert” Sunday over what he called “aggressive statements” by NATO top officials. A statement from the United Nations then called the possibility of nuclear conflict “inconceivable”.
The U.N. fails again. First in imagination then in logic. Nothing could be more conceivable, predictable, or inevitable than if you move NATO and their first-strike missiles withing 10 minutes of Moscow.
Big picture:
“The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the ‘agentur’ of the ‘Illuminati’ between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other.
Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion.
We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.4
This is said to be from American General Albert Pike in circa 1871. Although provably around for +50 years, Let’s not worry about whether it is TRUE, or not, when it was first written or by whom, merely that this is the plan they are FOLLOWING. And for the same reasons of their weirdo religion.
It’s pretty easy to follow the money over the last 100 years and see these specific things have been bought out or encouraged to the tune of now-trillions of dollars. And what of the religion? Atheist revolutionaries? Who believe in Lucifer? Really Docktor? And who honest, real, powerful power-brokers follow and not just some random crackpots? Where do you get such wretched nonsense? Well, here we have Saul Alinsky, a certified “atheist”, who dedicated his famous and highly influential book “Rules for Radicals” to Lucifer. And who was a teacher of protegee’s Hillary Clinton, and despite his awkward appearance to the electorate kicked off and was invited invited to Obama’s successful Presidential campaign, and whose advice in said book is followed like the Bible to other “radical” BLM and atheist revolutionaries who burned 15 cities and killed 54 only last year.
So yes, this is exactly what he said, exactly at the very highest level possible, for at least decades. And not only here were Americans tend to be more open or loud-mouthed about admitting things, but elsewhere too.
Okay, as I said we’re headed to a post-government world where everything is discredited, not only institutions, but family, religion, money, the very concept of being “good”. What does this sound like? And what are the consequences? Something like he describes above? And knowing this, how far out would that target be from here? 5 years? 20?
Now these people are insane but we know that insane maniacs can make a lot of trouble for the rest of us and in fact, who else can? Or does? Or would? Muhammad Ali said, “Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights?” “I ain’t got no quarrel with them Viet Cong.” Nobody in Missouri cares what a guy in Vladivostok does. Same with a guy in Archangel about us. Or Odessa. Only the psychos in power.
It’s important to know what they’re up to so we know it’s a scam. Intentional. Pre-planned or paid for and pre-pushed at least. We read their plan, here among hundreds of places, and followed the money for 50-100 years. We don’t have to play.
Our Gov't and media smoothly transitioned from convincing people that natural immunity is not real to supporting Nazis in Ukraine.

Raul,
Thank you for the diagram showing NATOs expansion since 1997.For social harmony, my ( inflexible liberal minded wife ) insists I endure the chattering of friends and family as they express their emotional distress and animosity over the situation in Ukraine, all of which comes from the CBC and other “captured” ( imho ) mainstream media here in Canada.
There comes a point however when my conscience insists I RESIST and offer that it’s more complicated than the MSM presents, and in fact I believe we Canadians, being the enthusiastic sycophants to the Empire that we are, share some of the blame.
Enter your visual representation of NATOs offensive movement for support, as referring to text, as in essay of Luongo, the Saker, P.C Roberts, C. Johnson or Orlov guarantees glazed eyes.
We’ll see how it goes today, as I can guarantee it will be raised in conversation…..

BLACK BOX DEFENCE FOR THE RUSSIAN ECONOMY – DOLLAR DEBT REPAYMENTS BLOCKED; GAS AND OIL DELIVERIES TO GERMANY STOPPED; OLIGARCH ASSETS NATIONALIZED
“Commencing with Putin’s February 21 speech, the recognition of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, and the commencement of the military campaign in the Ukraine, the management of the Russian economy has moved on to a war footing. In the interpretation of a leading European banker, the escalation of US and European Union (EU) sanctions intends to confiscate Central Bank assets and destroy all financial links between Russia and the west. He comments that nothing on this scale against a major world power has been attempted since President Franklin Roosevelt froze the foreign assets of Japan on July 26, 1941, and imposed an embargo on Japanese oil and gasoline imports six days later.”
F.S.
Dick Durbin interviewed on NPR yesterday:
************
…MCCAMMON: Senator, the wire services are reporting that Putin is putting Russian forces that include nuclear-armed units on high alert because of aggressive statements by NATO leaders, as well as the economic sanctions we’ve been reporting on this morning. What is your reaction to that?[Dick] DURBIN [Dem Illinois]: I’m very worried about that, of course. Russia is a superpower when it comes to nuclear weapons. We just hope beyond hope that we never see anyone use a nuclear weapon in a conflict. I wouldn’t put it past him. This man is a war criminal. Donald Trump may think he is a savvy genius. I think he is a savage war criminal. And whether he would use nuclear weapons, I pray he’ll never even consider that….
“We just hope beyond hope that we never see anyone use a nuclear weapon in a conflict. I wouldn’t put it past him.”
Wow. I just can’t even begin to de-code all the re-writing of history and the use of propaganda Durbin has included in this short sentence.
I’ll leave it at this: Nuclear weapons have ALREADY been used in a conflict. And the ONLY country to ever use nuclear weapons in a conflict was the United States, which bombed both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, using nuclear weapons in August of 1945.
The interviewer let his comment go without any remark on it or correction to it, in case you are wondering.
Today’s / yest. news. I listened to *Petro Poroshenko on France 24* eng and *Zelensky latest declarations* and both demand immediate access to EU membership! (No way.)
Poro sends thanks for all the support, says that Putin has miscalculated, Ukr. is strong, the defense is working well, 5K Russians have been killed. Pour le détail qui tue (ouch in F): tells that Molotov cocktails are called “Bandera Smoothies” in Urkaine!
*Oleh Shamshur on France 24* in eng. (former Ukr. diplomat, ambassador) also in Kiev similarly praises Ukr. defense, says it is just great, wonderful solidarity, etc. The city is under control, it is not encircled, and subversive groups have been controlled (? ! ?) Putin’s blitzkrieg has fallen thru, due to dedication of the defense. Putin is a sick man.
Gonzalo Lira (link – same person as in clip in top post), an American who lives in Kharkov but is at present in Kiev, tells a different tale. Russian soldiers are being careful to not harm civilians; all is quiet where he is; Kharkov is surrounded and there are soldiers in the center of the city. Ukr. is forcibly conscripting men aged 18 – 60, Zelensky has handed out weapons to civils., prisoners have been let go to “serve”.

What I found interesting from F24 is that like much MSM they show pix in the background while Person is talking – a form of propaganda, full-information-dominance, a way to keep the viewer engaged -, and the very few clips of Ukr forces are so brief as to be unoticeable, because with some view time it is obvious that they are unprepared, unprofessional and muddling about (in the clips shown.)
—-The fog of war.—–
Yet it appears clear that the Ukr. Western part / pro-EU anti-R / dominant classes in about half the country (Kiev, other cities in part) and/or more are still counting on, now begging, the USuk, the EU, and NATO to finally step up and offer them all they want, … as they oppose Russia.
Since a word is from NATOstan that, … just perhaps, it should be Poland the one that should come to assist Ukraine in repelling Russians, … here is a tiny glance to the past of Polish/Ukrainian history:
Anyway, … I can’t tell you how reflective of the actual past this article is, but I can tell you that, in its content, it matches the the many stories I have been told to me by my father and his friends over the years. You see, my father was a young man living in that area – born in 1914. He served in Polish army as a draftee, in Polish garrison, in city of Lwow – see map in the article. He spent WW-2 in that area up until Red Army cleared that area of German occupying forces, … than, as a Polish soldier, marched along with the front all the way to Berlin, … but I digress now from main point. Sorry, …
Best,

“Siege: 500,000 refugees gone to Poland”
How would they know? Have they counted them? Like the Canadian trucks? Will we have commenters come on and debunk the most popular Twitter and CNN pundits who report this? Demand they be removed for “misinformation”? Mmmm, I’m guessing not. “Refugees” is now popular and trending. Therefore it’s true. #Science!
Along with HIV suddenly being #1 headline, and from the popularity apparently everybody has it now, anyone else noticed an incredible uptick in Climate Change stories? We’re in a war, but never mind the war, let’s worry about Putin’s climate impact of invading Ukraine. Literally.

The system is collapsing, out of time, last seconds to go. They’re still trying though, give them credit.
10 Year dropped, just as one would expect them to try a idiotic, murdering gambit like this. However, not nearly enough yet. It’s still in the pattern to rise, not fall.
Teri I’m guessing you’re not American. This is 100% of American opinion on the matter. Hiroshima and Nagasaki never happened, because we’re the good guys and a peaceful nation. …Until they did, and we mention them to show how tough we are. Then they disappear again. Or both!
Just like that “George” guy, from England, said.

Putin means what he says: Russia’s back is to the wall, and there is nowhere to which Russia can now retreat – for them it is existential.

Germane material to look up to supplement my post # 103154:
The Polish–Ukrainian War, from November 1918 to July 1919, was a conflict between the Second Polish Republic and Ukrainian forces (both the West Ukrainian People’s Republic and Ukrainian People’s Republic). The conflict had its roots in ethnic, cultural and political differences between the Polish and Ukrainian populations living in the region both as successor states of the dissolved Russian and Austrian empires.

The UkroNazi troops that murdered Donbass civilians for 8 years are just about to be surrounded in a classic ‘cauldron’ movement, the same move the Russians pulled on the WWII Nazis and exterminated whole German army units very, very effectively.
The last route of escape for the Ukronazis is a corridor that both sides of the Russia pincer can blanket with the dreaded thermobarbic rocket artillery. Nothing survives one of this barrages, you will be able to spread the Ukronazis on a cracker if they try to escape through this opening.
The 12,000 Chechen troops have a special section unit of ‘hunters’ who have lists of specific Ukro army personnel believed to personally given orders to shell the Donbass. Not sure if the Chechen hunter units will just locate them and kill them or capture and ‘interrogate’ them. Either way, what Putin said is true, the ones responsible for the mass murder in the Donbass will be held accountable.
Hey, John Day, do you think that Putin’s policy is justice or revenge?
And in no time at all, that Certificate Of Vaccination ID will have a Loyalty Oath tacked onto it.
Hunh. e e cummings in all caps.
Recent pondering.
A while back I explained to my 89 year old friend living in the retirement place that although her community does not discriminate based on race, it does discriminate based on vaccination status. Her explanation was: “People are scared.” A 79 year old friend who also lived there expressed essentially the same response when we were speaking about the administration’s insistence that I be masked when I sing there, while the vaxxed are not required to mask. And the minister of the local UU congregation cited the fears of a couple congregants as the reason for her hard line regarding all being masked at an outdoor event.
Since when do we make decisions about rights and privileges based solely on fear? Since when do we restrict freedoms based upon the fears of others?
I am currently watching Spielberg’s film on Pres. Lincoln. In the mid-1800s many whites feared those of African descent. Many in the Union feared the social and economic upheaval that would result from eradicating slavery. (And, according to the film — I haven’t done the research, don’t know what is apocryphal — the 13th amendment squeaked through with some “wheeling and dealing” — not just because a large majority wanted “to do the right thing.”). Although these fears factored in the Congressional debate, fear was not the only part of the issue debated.
As a society, we create further problems if we ignore fear, trample fear, steamroll fear. When a child has irrational fears we soothe the child, provide a “security blanket,” etc. As appropriate, a parent will debunk a child’s fears. We don’t allow the child’s fears to dictate the entirety of the adults’ actions — which would be an irrational response for the adult, and only serve to enhance the child’s fears, giving credence to them — although we may make some small accommodations.

The recent prodding of Russia by expanding Ukrainian anti-Russian ethnic violence by Ukraine’s neo-Nazi post-2014 Maiden regime was aimed at (and has succeeded in forcing a showdown in response the fear by U.S. interests that they are losing their economic and political hold on their NATO allies and other Dollar Area satellites as these countries have seen their major opportunities for gain to lie in increasing trade and investment with China and Russia.
F.S.
Another pondering.
In the Reiner Fuellmich Grand Jury (day 4, I believe,) the issue is raised about whether or not doctors who administered the Covid inoculations are guilty of crimes against humanity. Doctors are obligated by their oath to “do no harm” and societies have invested much in their education. In general, doctors are well-compensated for their service. At the same time, our system pressures them to rely on standard diagnoses and treatments in order to receive payment, they are subject to malpractice insurance and rules around licensure in order to practice medicine. Their licenses and their financial well-being were threatened by not going along with the dominant narrative. Additionally, censorship meant that it took focused effort to find data that did not support the narrative. One expert witness suggested that doctors were only guilty of crimes against humanity if they stumbled across clear evidence of the harms of the Covid inoculations and ceased to push them onto their patients at that point. That sort of a legal standard would be difficult to prove on a case by case basis, as it is based upon something only known to the individual doctor, and we do not condone self-incrimination. And in a mind deluded by mass formation, viewing clear evidence of vaccine harm will likely trigger cognitive dissonance (“stupor of thought” in the lingo of my Mormon heritage) making it difficult for any mind to fully comprehend the significance of stated clear evidence.

https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/financial-and-information-warfare?utm_source=urlThere is a restriction of information about troop positions in Ukraine. The maps today are the same maps from 48 hours ago. Negotiations are finally underway between Ukrainian and Russian teams in Belarus. Last Friday, Russian forces slowed their advances and softened their attacks, ahead of negotiations, which Ukraine (directed by Washington) decided not to attend. Russian, Crimean and Donbass troop advances were reported Saturday morning, and Ukrainian Armed Forces defenses and counter-attacks, but good information stopped, replaced by social media feeds, which are shaped by all parties, to support their narratives.
Following the money is now the better strategy in these early days of WW-3. Great global wars are fought to adjust global financial regimes which have become terminally unstable, in my view (which is not only my view). I think this qualifies as WW-3 now, because that is quickly being put into place. The $US is the tool of extraction of global wealth, but has also been used as a punishing weapon for the past decade, which is a factor in it’s declining use in global financial transactions, which is now under 50%. In Friday’s UNSC vote on sanctioning Russia for invading Ukraine, Russia exercised veto power, but Saudi Arabia and UAE failed to vote the US stance, in favor of sanctions. https://www.un.org/press/en/2022/sc14808.doc.htm
China buys more of their oil, and China abstained, too. The “Petro-Dollar” is not on firm footing any more…
John Helmer, at Dances With Bears, has this view of the financial war from inside Russia, from a very senior Russian Finance Minister , Sergei Glayzev, with views in opposition to the Russian Central Bank Policy, yet he has remained since the 1980s, because of the value of his views.
Russian assets in the West are being “frozen”, which is confiscation. In return, Russia can cease payment on all debts, and could later seize foreign-owned assets within Russia, which would imply a fairly permanent break from $US finance. The west might permanently seize Russian assets, while declaring all Russian debts payable at interest. Russia might have to wait this out, wait for the $US regime to decay.
China would initially benefit. Europe would be harmed, and the US would also be harmed, which harm would be progressive, as international trade moved more rapidly out of $US. Russia is certainly placed in a tight spot, and Russian savings have already been much reduced by attacks on the Ruble.
It seems to me that the world might soon split into 2 trading blocks, with some non-aligned nations, as in the old cold war days.
China might find the most advantageous position in this, but will need to be very careful to be able to maintain trade with all parties.
Moon of Alabama (German) calls this Day #1 of “Money War on Russia”: (Money is a form of “information”.)
The U.S. and its proxies in the EU and elsewhere have put up very harsh sanctions on Russia to damage its economy.
The final intent of this economic war is regime change in Russia.
The likely consequence will be regime change in many other countries.
This war is waged at a financial size that is unprecedented. The consequences in all markets will be very significant to extreme. But experience from Iran shows that such financial wars have their limits as the targeted country learns to survive. Moreover Russia is in a much stronger position than Iran ever was and is better prepared for the consequences.https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/02/disarming-ukraine-day-5-economic-war-on-russia-day-1.html#more
The august Conversation this morning ran an article by a professor of History and Judaic Studies at the Uni of Michigan entitled “Putin’s claim to rid Ukraine of Nazis is especially absurd given its history.”
One excerpt:
For a brief period of time, Ukraine was the only state outside of Israel to have both a Jewish head of state and a Jewish head of government. “How could I be a Nazi?” Zelensky asked in a public address after the Russian invasion began. “Explain it to my grandfather.”
This is the kind of claim that requires careful analysis — but I simply do not have time.
There will be more such claims tomorrow and the next day and the next.
I drove past the Russian embassy yesterday. No demonstrators, no placards, no banners. Nothing unusual except for an Australian Federal Police vehicle parked in the median strip opposite. Good; we’re honouring our obligations to protect foreign diplomats and their premises.
On the car radio came a news item that Australians were contacting the Ukrainian embassy to volunteer to go and join the fray. It sounded impressive until the newsreader announced the number so far: twenty. Yes, that’ll make a difference… They also played a clip from the Foreign Affairs minister saying that Australians should not go to war zones. Fair enough.
Actually, how embassies and high commissions are protected here gives an indication of the mental state, the gestalt, of the international community. When I moved to Canberra in the early 1980s there were three high commission buildings in a row: British, New Zealand, Canadian. (Commonwealth countries don’t send embassies to each other; they establish high commissions, hauts commissariats. Why this distinction I do not know.) None of these buildings had any sort of fence around it. All very relaxed. Some time after 9/11 the British high commission grounds sprouted a nice, strong fence. Some time later the Canadians got a fence. Finally, after a few more years, NZ joined the club and built their fence. Now we have three gated communities in a row. So sad.
The US and Russian embassies have always had stout fences. After 9/11 the US reinforced theirs by raising the ground by a metre or so all around and putting the fence on top of that, to prevent vehicles from trying to ram through the fence formerly at ground level. The Russian embassy fence is at ground level. The Ukrainian embassy is on the 12th floor of an office building in the downtown area.
Raging hope or quiet despair?
It doesn’t matter: despair is only negative hope…

Mr Wallace said Mr Putin was engaged in a “battle of rhetoric” by trying to “remind the world” he had a deterrent.
He said Russia was behind schedule on its invasion of Ukraine and Ukrainians were putting up a “very strong fight”.Just a sense (a lot of fake news out there) but with the Russian Army roughly 30 miles outside Kyiv, any effort by NATO to slow them will trigger the nightmare scenario.
Zelinsky is a puppet for the NWO, their goal is to slow down the negotiations to a grind, while Ukraine enhances its defenses, weapons are brought from the West, mercenaries join the fray, their goal is to bog down Russia in a war of attrition. Putin seems to be well aware of this.
We are going to find out if Putin is a grandmaster chess player or a poker player. Either way, hope Zelensky is waving a white flag in the next 48.
I miss the virus.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Kyiv residents woke up to leaflets telling them to get the F out of the city.
O.K. So we in the west, are fighting a cell phone best virtual selfie sanctions narrative war.
I am 100% sure, this narrative war will end badly, since neither side’s narrative is correct.So now we are sanctioning Russia, right, left, and center. Not to be outdone, Canada is pulling vodka from it’s liquor stores! We won’t play hockey with them here Russians either. To enforce that we have cancelled flights from Russia.
Little notice is being given to the warning from Putin about mesures he will take for countries aiding the Ukraine. Naturally Trudeau and Freeland are paying no heed to these warnings. In fact they are going out of their way to ensure they are at the top of Putin’s hit list!
Yes it is fine and dandy to override Russian interests and rights because it is the current politically correct leftist fad of the day. Just like it was so politically correct to seize Canadian trucker assets, just a couple of weeks ago. People tend to notice trends.
So yes, seize Russian assets here in Canada. Just don’t be surprised if Canadian assets in Russia are seized too. Markets anticipating this, have already marked down the price of publically traded Canadian mining companies with mines located in Russia, to zero!
Maybe Trudeau and Freeland should take a good long hard look at what is happening to Canada’s reputation around the world, not to mention that by Canadians living in Canada.
Hey Canada!
Nice money laundering operations you are running!
Nice currency operation you have!
Nice banking operations you have!
Nice real estate operations you are enjoying!
It would be a shame to ruin these cash cows just because you have a political craving for a beef burger!You want to know what happens to countries where their citizens do not invest in their own country? I have visited dozens of these countries! Whenever I wrote a check on my US dollar account, the checks all ended up in Switzerland! Yeah that merchant in a mud hut in the middle of nowhere with no electricity or water! His only concern was getting his money out of his own country! That is what happens in every one of these countries!
Nobody will invest in their own country because folks like Trudeau and Freeland will just confiscate it!

Overweight hard assets, take down financial assets and buckle up.
In a systemic collapse it would probably help if the “hard assets” were portable, too…
Prior to WWII most unstable areas around the globe stored their savings, including multi-generational” in Ag/Ag coins.
When I married my first wife I received a 1901 $20 Liberty in dowry, that was part of a stash that had been passed down by her Polish great grandfather to the family…
After their “Uncle” (Pope John Paul as he was known to his Polish church) warned the “faithful” to flee when Andropov threatened to send tanks into Warszawa, her upper class family went on “vacation” to Austria (defection) ~ They left everything behind, including a country vacation home, a chateau in Warsaw + two Mercedes, but the father glued stacks familial Gold Liberties in place of magnets on several portable radios.
Following WWII U$D became the preferred “store-of-wealth” mechanism for third-world et al. countries, with unaccountable U$ bills (many counterfeit) “stored” by peoples to ride out periods of instability…
Currently, financial WMDs are wiping out, among other things, the U$D safe haven, that will manifest into an incalculable fallout for humanity, which is seldom acknowledge & will not be televised.
Unless current horrendous trends are reversed, Deagel’s 2025 predictions may be optimistic as Homo sapiens are setup for collapse…

“Cognitive assault” is an apt term. I thought it was bad:
1) after the events of late 2001
2) in the run-up to the second US invasion of Iraq in 2003
3) in early 2020..but the lockstep around the events in Ukraine (whatever they are; the S/N ratio is way too low now for my skills) makes those previous media events- even the last one- look trivial.
I think I’ll watch Dr. Strangelove again tonight- Peter Sellers as the earnest Group Captain Lionel Mandrake and as the good Doktor can at least provide a grim laugh.
Since I did duck and cover drills in elementary school, we are revisiting a childhood trauma. Old imprints are reactivated.
The Kremlin acted out. All Russia had to do was wait for the flailing Western Empire to collapse. But instead, they invaded Ukraine on the cheap without a “shock and awe” preparation as shown by Ukraine soldiers walking about Russian tank convoy ambush sites with no concern for counter artillery or air strikes. Russian leaders believe their own propaganda just as the Western ones believe theirs. Unless a peace treaty is signed today or tomorrow; to save Kiev from neo-nazis, Russia will destroy it.
The world is now partitioned with deranged neoliberal leaders on both sides who seem to have no concept that World War III has started. Without a quick end to the European War, the likely outcome is that the earth will be turned into a nuclear hell hole.
Just for fun.
