On ‘Biden tells Bibi US will not support a counter-attack on Iran.’
1st link at top post.
The BidAdmin / those in charge at present / do not want war with Iran, do not want a widening of the present conflict, because serious war in the ME Region will lead to devastation and defeat of the USA. See, the Elites power, comfort, etc. Plus, the destruction of Israel, in the sense of the loss of that landing strip..
Of course, other forces itch for confrontation, never mind the outcome.
From Europe. When Macron announced he aimed to, wanted to, was proposing to (what formulation? as there were many!) send French troops to UKR to defend the Valiant Ukro-Nazis and fight Ugly Blood-Thirsty Russkies – the expressions used are ‘defense of democracy’ etc. – both Germany and the US shut him down immediately.
The ‘main’ NATO powers (actually there is only one, the US, but D is second; **btw about 1/3 of arms send to Isr. come from D**) would never support France in this folly, he was on his own, etc.
D = Deutchland
WES posted prev thread:
Maybe the bright blub in Israel who approved the strike against the Iranian embassy will pay the ultimate political price for this decision. Let us hope so. Could this in the end save Gaza?
WES, my friend, if I may, you are too optimistic. No.
Nothing can ‘save’ Gaza, in the sense of a Palestinian ‘territory’ that Pals. could live on, in relative ‘peace’ even if under a cruel ‘apartheid’ regime (supported by UNRWA who keeps Pal. refugees alive in many places), or some day return to ‘their land’ —> that is all over.
Gaza is destroyed, from top to bottom (see internet pix), a concentration camp is ‘final solution’ targetted and bombed to get ALL the Arab inhabitants killed / buried in the rubble, how many Idk but the no. must be huge.
The refugees, encouraged to flee, leave, are not welcome anywhere.
US makes *massive* payments to Egypt (3rd place after UKR. and ISR in US aid, I posted about this before), still not enough for Egypt to accept any refugees, it is digging its heels in maybe hoping… profit in some way(s)…
ISR. will take over GAZA and re-build it for Israeli Jews and ‘Foreign Cos’ will invest massively, there will be consequent returns, Rich Investors, will stump up, money will pour in. Next will be the West Bank, where Arabs will be gradually ‘eliminated’ in one way or another, slow atttrition since at least 50 years.
Interview of Shane Simonsen, new to me, on Geopolitics and Empire.
Shane Simonsen discusses the energy crisis and how industrialization was built on the resource base of cheap coal and oil whose quality and quantity is depleting which will affect the complexity of modern society and exacerbate economic and political issues. The elites are dealing with a changing resource base they’re struggling to manage and they have a lot less power than we imagine. The real power lays with global multinational corporations who have co-opted nations and political parties. The loss of modern conveniences should see us move back to a more community-oriented setting. We’re headed into an era of techno-authoritarianism but at some point that technology will fail. The real trouble is when elites start turning on each other. The future of warfare and society could be biotechnological.

Re. the recent arguments about global warming…
I believe the science that details greenhouse gases, the role they play in heating up the atmosphere, that humans cause emission of sufficient quantities of GHG to spur this process, at least in a large part, are correct.
However, I also think this ‘science’ is not great, there are various other elements that can play a role (the sun..), the interactions between various variables and the resulting positive/negative feedback loops (e.g. albedo, dimming via pollution, effects of drought and xyz vegetation, etc. etc.) are not well known / studied / described, etc.
The description of the phenomenon presented to the public is completely off, BS.
Temperature (and the attendant weather) is always LOCAL, and opting for a measure of ‘global’ temperature and fixing some kind of tipping-point threshold, goal (1.5 C) makes no sense at all. Land and sea don’t react the same way to different temps, using an average is beyond ridiculous.
For ex. Elevated, moutainous land regions, Poles, will melt, while coast-lines ‘may’ experience weird storms. Drought has different effects in different places, etc.
The IPCC has defined a base-line period for comparison, 1961-1990, as many countries, places, don’t have any records before that time.
Many of the ‘temp rises’ one sees reported are in function of this comp., and thus don’t in any way reflect temp. changes from pre-industrial times. Often, the ‘temp rise’ is just quoted ‘as is’, with no info. about the first term of the comparison.
https://archive.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/tar/wg2/index.php?idp=144
Ex. Switz. The MSM, local authorities, etc. report a RISE of around 2C (the last formulation on one Fed. Gvmt. website was ‘slightly over’ 2C.) They don’t report it often, as Switz. would look like a ‘bad pupil.’ This is in comp. to IPCC 61-90, not pre-industrial times.
A current Fed. site tries to gather it all together:
The current climate mean is already 2.8 °C above the pre-industrial average of 1871-1900 (as of 2024).
https://www.meteoswiss.admin.ch/climate/climate-change.html
Yes. From some simple charts (goog) of temp rise in CH from 1850, it is closer to 3C rise imho, ok quarrels about these nos. are not useful.
Has ‘climate change’ been hyped to alarm ppl, control them, get them to consume less, draw down use of FFs? Is Greta T. just a stooge for some agenda? Are climate ‘activists’ idiots somehow married to a cause (often paid btw)? Yes. That doesn’t mean it isn’t real…
Sure, Switz. is an outlier, a postage-stamp landlocked mountainous country. But look at the effects of drought in Syria…for ex…
Or consider why Southern Spain will turn into a desert? Because all the available water was used to earn money via tourism (swimming pools, baths, showers, hotels, etc.) and growing veggies for export? …..
On Trump’s recent statements on Israel, which have been pick-quoted, here and there, e.g on Politico.
25 March, vid 9 mins: Trump to Israel Hayom.
He is trying to balance different stances, povs. He blames Biden, and says there would be no problem in the world if he was Pres, and that he has been the most ISR-positive Pres. in History. He says that the Oct. 7 attack would never have happened if he /had been/ Pres.
Quote on the present:
“You have to finish up your war. To finish it up. You gotta get it done. And, I am sure you will do that. And we gotta get to peace, we can’t have this going on. And I will say, Israel has to be very careful, because you’re losing a lot of the world, you’re losing a lot of support, you have to finish up, you have to get the job done. And you have to get on to peace, to get on to a normal life for Israel, and for everybody else.”
Note he his sitting in a somewhat lower chair (as the camera angle is making out, the chairs are actually the same) facing two large, fattish, imposing, ostensibly Jewish figures – one makes a big deal of putting a Kippa on his head. Trump is the one on the hot seat being questioned as to his ‘loyalty’, as I see it.
The prominently displayed flag in the background is a bit mysterious, in the sense that Red + White Stripes are a representation of the USA, a symbol often used, to avoid showing the full flag (ppl might notice that), but the orange border is weird, Idk. The other background is ‘camouflage gear’ it signals WAR, ‘we support war’, right in your face.
On, wikileaks cable (2008 by W. Burns), Georgia and Ukraine… (at top post.)
This interview of Jaques Baud (Swiss ret. milit.) on *Daniel Davis Deep Dive* April 2024, a bit more than one hour, bring up the paralells between Georgia (2008) and Ukraine (2022), and a lot more.
Title: UKR. front lines on the verge of collapsing.
As many of us knew right from 2014, or at least, later, 2022, was inevitable.
“I have a friend who is a trans girl, she used to be able to use the g. b – room with no problem, but apparently…” etc. (top post.)
All this stuff about ‘sexual identity’ and LGTBQ, use of bathrooms, changing rooms, sports teams, competition, dress, apearance, and acceptance of what not, is an issue manufactured by the PTB, to keep the plebs occupied with triviY-a.
To ensure they (heh, all of us..) don’t even spend 5 mins thinking about ‘the budget’, ‘war’, ‘energy ressources’, ‘corruption’ and more, and stupidly get self-righteously hyped up on disliking and ridiculing some kind of ‘opponent’ who either wears a frilly skirt or refuses to… and … etc. (To make it short.)
It is one ‘facile’ internal version of divide and conquer, a kind of back-up to the entirely ersatz division between the 2 wings of the UniParty (Dems. vs. Reps.) The more vapid noise and buzz around it all is pushed by the MSM, the better, they think their power will last via their narrative strength (power to impose) and they are right….say….
oxymoron, up top, to add, the most ‘dire’ predictions of population collapse, reduction, was by Deagel, it made a splash at the time, now is forgotten…
All W countries decimated. On what the prediction was based has afaik never been stated.
Jeffrey Sachs: It’s part of the U.S. long-term strategy dating back to the late 1970s to pay and arm jihadists to attack Russia… (top post)
Switzerland has mercenaries for sale. France has a Foreign Legion. The USA manages a smorgasbord of groups, ‘Islamist’ (heh, 9/11 was done by Islamists supposedly…), given to hard violence, terrorist attacks, labelled variously, Al Quaida, Al Nusra, ISIS, Daesh, moderate rebels (Obama, re. Syria), and so on. All proxies, paid for, armed, organised, by the US (.. > USuk-isr), most often thru intermediaries of various kinds who rake in a modest but fair ? %. Guessing, about 10.
The funding is always conditioned (I reckon) and can be swapped around. From the Mujahideen in Afgh. (late 70’s, fighting the Russians) to the recent ‘terrorist’ attack on a concert hall in Moscow suburbs (Crocus), according to the US-W, a “Daesh / ISIS” attack, we see, plus ca change plus c’est la même chose…
D. Rich yes J. Sachs seems to have been re-habilitated. I was very suspicious, heh, whatever, as they say.
Oroboros posted that electrical cables are never run across the ‘top’ of bridges.
I’m no electrical engineer, but this holds in Switz. At the top, weather, insulation wear down, stresses and strains of various kinds, too much exposure, plus, huge servicing and repair difficulties. Electric cables are under the bridge or to the side of it at a lower level and protected, with a separate walkway. (As I can see with my eyes on a bridge close to me where one can actually walk on that walkway.) Lighting on the bridge is by cables that connect to them, with mechanisms that ensure that if one cable (light) fails, others are not affected. This is just common sense.
But Hey, maybe They do things differently there. (L.P. Hartley quote)
On Assange. Idk about the details of this latest judgment (only listened to Craig Murray.) It was a foregone conclusion that his ‘extradition’ to the US would be put off, delayed, or cancelled for the mo. The Bidadmin has enough problems without Julian being in a US Fed. prison (‘democrits’ outraged, free speech, persecution of journalists, demos, maybe yikes! Trump might threaten to pardon him, etc.)
The Brits can carry the can (devotedly, happily, serving the master on an insignificant matter) and his detention can be seen as due to ‘complicated’ issues in British law, etc. He has become a figure to serve as an example of what State repression of the Hegemon can do. He may die in Belmarsh imho. Australia should be shamed endlessly for not defending him.
The US ‘law-fare’ methods (contra Assange, Trump, Jan 6 protestors, etc.) has become so crazed and blatant that ppl may (?) begin to see and admit that law in the US is broken, kaput; a heavy, expensive apparatus that is completely corrupt and run by profiteers, stooges, servile idiots hoping to join the ring, etc. Then what? Anarchy and break-up. (Skipping several stages..)
Escobar is always interesting, if on occasion a bit all over the place, and in this piece (top post) he gives a time-line which is good.
Looking at the clips of the perps, => absolute dopes and not ISIS in the sense islam devotion, adherence to the cause of the Kalifate (and paid rather handsomely by USuk …) the question is who master-minded this attack? Pepe goes into possibilities, personally idk about Tadjiks, etc.
Presumably (as Pepe also seems to say) the Russian investigation will turn up some answers, as they appear to be the true Victims. (The idea that Putin orchestrated a terror attack to justify going harder in UKR is ridiculous.)
And yet, looking at clips like these various aspects seem extraordinarily strange. Very odd:

taken from:
https://southfront.press/breaking-18-large-terrorist-attack-in-crowded-concert-building-in-moscow/
Did the ppl leaving the hall not realise what was going on? It looks more like they were told the concert was cancelled! Many are moving down, to where the shooters are ?! (Another vid. shows the 4 shooters in the stalls?) Or, they thought some stupid stunt was taking place? (The gunshots are v. loud on the vid, is that fake / amplified ?)
Well obviously I haven’t figured this out yet, I don’t even know the times, where the entrance is, what band was playing, etc. So I should shut up…
*India Today* has some pix / news of the 3 (or 4) Tajiks detained, they pled guilty in court.
Assuming NYC = New York City.
New York City had 386 homicides last year //2023//, according to new NYPD data, an 11.9% decrease from 2022. (…) This is the first time the city ended the year with fewer than 400 homicides since 2019. In 2020, there were 468 people killed, and 488 in 2021.
https://abc7ny.com/nypd-crime-shootings-murders/14259597/
These numbers are small (statistically speaking, of course horrible for the victims..) in a population of NYC of (via google) 8 + million.
The chart is just nonsense, but is probably weirdly built on ‘real numbers’ which most likely DO show:
— Convicted black murderers represent a higher % of black ppl population, as compared to other ‘Races.’ As they are poorer, have a longer history of being oppressed, and are targetted by authorities. Send the plebs to jail to work in the slave economy (prison)! Blacks in first place!
— All ‘racial’ categories (imho BS, what is race anyway?) tend to murder ppl they know, are in contact with, are in their circle, etc. Personal revenge, hatred, in NYC, as elsewhere, is the primary motive.
On Gaza -> several top posts.
The Two-State-Solution has been touted for more than 50 yrs., nothing was ever done to implement it, it is just showy look-good, look pious, fair, etc. proposal.
Clamoring for it now is just more of the same tired BS.
ISR territory, which has no fixed Int’l borders btw, is incredibly small. Anyone who has been there knows this.. how such a postage stamp ‘non’ country could be divided is moot..
Dividing that minuscule land into two states, or ethnic held territories in an odd patchwork, with one state of the 2 state solution, Palestine, and the other being Jewish, solves nothing. It would just exaberate the conflict, keeps it going, institutionalise the hatred, encourage violent escalation. There would still be one ‘group’ (no matter what patchwork land they lived on) dominating another.
On Tucker and contra – immigrants rant (top post)
For sure, the USA ‘open border’ policy is implemented to augment the ‘immigrant’ vote, as it is seen as steadfastly 100% in favor of Dems.
The real reasons are more profound.
See for ex. Brexit, which was touted via the GB version of ‘controlling the border’ to then in post-Brexit years see even MORE immigrants, legal and illegal, enter GB.
But from ‘other places’ -> diminishing sharply from the EU, and upping from India, Bangladesh, etc.
As usual, the W’s need to import cheap labor from afar doesn’t go down but grows, as economies stutter and shrink… due to:
De-industrialisation, energy constraints (!), crumbling infrastructure, ballooning debt (all linked), and usually ignored, or glossed over, trade slowing and being hampered by sanctions, withdrawing from trade agreements, etc. …
Many of the native inhabitants can’t or won’t (for various reasons) work for the lowest pay, and they do vote..
The ‘cheap’ labor is a needed investment, calculated, as (for ex.) in GB, the State, e.g. hospitals, health services, schooling, the Parents, the Families, didn’t pay one pound to create strong, motivated, 18-30 year-olds ready to work for a pittance. Just one factor, there are others…
Angelo, from top post.
Brigitte Macron is in charge, she is the informal France president, she is the man at home,she/he is the one interfacing with the Rothschild and the WEF controlling puppet Macron who is under the Stockholm syndrome of his sexual predator who seduced him when he was 14/15. … Brigitte or whatever his name is wearing the pants at home. … It is a major issue, because it is dangerous and the man banker converted chief of state could lead Europe towards confrontation with Russia.
When Macron was elected, all F parties/pols made noises clamouring that Brigitte would not be allowed to play a major role. She might cut ribbons at swimming pools, visit handicapped children, talk about supporting French fashion, OK.
Manu, when elected, wanted Bibi to be given status and privileges like a US ‘first lady.’ In F a Prez. spouse has no special perks or position, with the exception of security/ some media control, as a companion of the Prez.
History. Sarkozy’s wife Cecilia was a huge influence and very powerful, she ‘ran’ the Elysée, she went on all kinds of missions, bossed ppl around, gathered a huge staff, was all over the media, etc. She *supposedly* solved the HIV Lybia crisis, and Khadafi was very fond of her, as she of him (What role that played in K’s death idk.)
Never again! Was the mantra from the F pols…no more wifely power!
wiki gives some info it can’t quash, but downplays:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cécilia_Attias
Next, Hollande promised to be a ‘normal’ president, which got him elected, and that was respected on the personal front, despite the fact that Sark’s opponent in his election was Hollande’s common-law wife (they have 4 children together), Ségolène Royal. She retreated into the background while Hollande tootled around on a scooter visiting his mistress, as always, a media / journalist / actress gal getting together with payers Pols.
Brigitte is in some ways responsible for Macron’s career to the top. A long story…and very interesting. But (imho) she is not ‘wearing the pants’ at home, she is not directing F policy, it is run by Macron and those who he has gathered around him, the insider ‘supporter’ club, and is very much subject to those can put pressure on him and his entourage, outside of France.
On, Macron and the new UKR-F Security Cooperation.
excerpts (shortened > F – UKR – RF)
(F will implement) active deterrence of, and counter-measures against, a new aggression by the RF
…. F will provide military and civil assistance to enable UKR to defend its sovereignty, its independence and its territorial integrity in the face of the aggression by the RF
…. F will contribute to the development of UKR’s critical infrastructure protection capabilities, including by military means, prioritizing, but not limited to, modern air defence capabilities
…. F and UKR will work together and with other partners of UKR to ensure that the UKR’s defence and security forces are able to fully restore UKR’s territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders as of 1991
…. In the event of future Russian armed attack against UKR, /at the request of F / UKR, they/ will consult within 24 hours to determine measures needed to counter or deter the aggression.

8 reasons to vote against by Dupont-Aignan, F pol, vid F
He claims it opens the door to sending troops on the ground, as Macron has stated – to the use of tactical nukes (requires lawyerly analysis etc.) Art. 12 allows the confiscation of R funds for ‘reconstruction’ …
——————-
In F Parliament, only the LFI (Mélenchon = ‘extremist left’ heh, not!) and the Communists voted against. The RN (Marine Le Pen) abstained, which amounts to agreeing to the ‘for’ vote. All the ‘centrist’ parties/groups, including ‘Greens’ voted for.
——————-
The language is very imprecise imho and doesn’t commit to much, anyways, such texts (eg. Minsk I, II) are empty husks. Just another arm of propaganda, hyping this or that, swaying public opinion, etc.Why Macron is now blasting forward in the anti-RF direction with what hype can be mustered is another topic. (See some posters above and maybe soon below.)
On “Macron panicked over leaked UKR reports” at top post.
The ‘secret, leaked’ reports from F military outline that UKR could not, cannot, ‘win’ the ‘war’ against Russia.
A no-brainer. Questioning the ghosts of Napoleon and Hitler and looking at some images of parades on the intertubes and consulting some open source databases (World Bank, World in Data, etc.) and looking at a map is good enough. Finis. I know little about military matters, but have spoken w. one milit. F guy. (Foreign Legion) Heh.
Whatever. Millions, even Billions, of ppl around the world knew this from the start, know it now, it was a foregone conclusion. WW2 was won by Russia and China, not the USuk (bowlderized version.)
So what is the ‘W’ (USuk-EU-…) up to?
— Dying slowly while making blustering escalation moves repeatedly, with Macron now marching forward w. the Aggro Banner? Sacrificing their populations for some kind of cynical murderous Elite Escape and comfort?
— Indulging in hopiness and terminal hubris, stating things can be changed round if we just make the right moves – we are the Garden – they (Russia, India, BRICS etc.) are the Jungle, we must! and will prevail, hmm, we have no idea how…now what…err
— All this is a game to move to a NWO and killing off large segments of the population, Macron has his guaranteed seat at the Top Table, it is all planned out…
Other … (?)
What I see is a lot of disorganisation, lashing out, floundering around, even despair, very dangerous, moving to suicidal impulses, all or nothing, etc.

The acrimonious divide between the USA ‘right’ (Repubs, say) and the ‘left’ (Dems, say) has been so exacerbated, on purpose, to serve the oligarchs, that turning back is going to be very difficult, if not impossible, imho.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is real, hate of senile Bid-> Admin as well. Much or all of the antagonism is built on ‘social issues’ – abortion, gays rights, PC behavior, hiring policies, sensitivity training, voting rights -to come back to that- sex change, school curricula, immigrants as nasties / lovely gals, etc.
General economic and foreign policy is left in the shade. This is deliberate.
Top ‘W’ 20% don’t give a fig about who sleeps with whom, who marries or not, who has abortions, etc., and they never have. Such matters are just for the Plebs to become riled up about.
The ‘open borders’ policy in the US is actually an ‘attract illegals’ policy, yes to boost the DEM vote, but also to provide instant and cheap ‘labor.’
Bringing up a child to participate succesfully in W society is hugely expensive, the bill is paid by the parents / family / State. Outsourcing that cost is advantageous, the sudden availability of 20, 25 yr. olds ready to work for lowish wages is a ! fantastic ! boon.

Macron was the only EU ‘leader’ that dampened anti-Russia spewing, in times past. Recall, in 2018, he was the only one to go to Moscow for the FIFA, he cheered, etc. Being ‘with’ Russia was def. on the agenda.
https://tass.com/world/1012744?show-layout=body
Subsequently R. teams were banned from FIFA (??)
Macron is mega unpopular in F (endless list of issues..) He has always aimed to present himself as a leader of the EU, being the fore-runner, the strategic genius, moving in the right direction, he provides stellar analysis, etc. Against Germany – anyone who imagines the bones of WW2 are buried and forgotten – No.
He is furious because Russia in interfering, with great success, in France-Afrique, throwing the traditional F manipulators out of some Afr. countries, as Russia offer ‘better deals’…
Other points could be brought up…
SeaBirds posted prev. thread:
We could suggest that Nuland may not have left on a sour note. Maybe most objectives of the deep state were fully achieved with remarkable success, and maybe military defeat of Russia wasn’t necessarily one of their goals. They managed to sever a growing partnership with Russia and Germany….
I agree a lot has been achieved, many Russians and Slavs have been killed and in one way or another UKR becomes ‘up for grabs’ (US Corps, deals w. other countries, etc.)
Yet, Nuland quitting spells out, internally and for the public, just one message: the determined UKR anti-Russian (say, neo-Nazi) camp within UKR and its support by the USA (Pax Americana) is loosing, has in effect, lost, and must re-group, withdraw, re-consider, etc.
— The UKR defense front is breaking down is how I read it, but I am not a military savy person. While it could hold there was still hopiness. —
That UKR cannot win against Russia is finally being acknowledged, so a driving figure has to go. She is an emblem, to be quickly ‘retired.’ (Not Blinken, who plays another role.) I’m sure she was told to quit ‘gracefully’ for a nice pension / whatever.
*sidebar*: How that idiot Trudeau and Canada are going to manage to downscale I have no idea. Maybe they will gather and wear UKR embroidery shirts (as usual) and play UKR (i.e. Russian) music and dance while cursing Putin, Canadian Farmers, left and right wing extremists, while being filmed going kissy-kissy amongst themselves. / end sarc.

They are smart enough to realise that and so it won’t happen.

Meanwhile, the PTB / the Deep State / the Elites carry on with their program.
So what is the difference between Trump and Biden? (see articles at top post.)
US Presidents come and go.
All of them (since, say, the Vietnam war, I am no historian) just looove having enemies, to feed the MIC, other big biz, maintain hegemony, kill slant-eyes, kill slavs, kill any etc., keep ppl afraid and riled up at home, while pretending there are some disagreements, arguments, etc. re. any topic that can be conjured up.
Ex. the Dems were the only ones to mildly object to the bombing (destruction..) of Iraq, because that was (ostensibly) a G. Bush move. Then when in power they went on to destroy Lybia and crow about it. At present, Syria devastated (via Obama) is still being occupied in part.
The Genocide in Gaza is heavily supported by the Bidadmin, by Repubs, Trump, and all in powerful positions, incl. the latest Kennedy, and prob. others I don’t even know about. Ex.

Comments span the gamut of explanations, from the Desperation of British Elites who must Win, to sunk costs fallacy and not knowing what is going on, historic hate of Russia, European countries as Vassals to the US, lack of independence, disgusting corrupt leaders (ex. Ursula), delusional thinking which sees the ‘W’ as superior no matter what – gotta stick to our plan death be damned or embraced -, to Elites being subject to control via blackmail, to some mention of consp. theories that point to the ‘plebs’ in European countries being targets of the ‘Elites’, anything effective for that aim being acceptable (de-population not mentioned..), and more… All good comments…
——–
So the ppl of Europe are not informed by their ‘leaders’ of the aims of all this. They have to guess, interpret, construct plausible / wild theories; the demise of the ‘democracy’ ideal, right there.
——-
Fear and ineptitude are the main reasons. The US is still seen as more powerful, deadly, than Russia.

UKR. guerrillas are attacking NATO facilities? Idk if true? Was a long time coming…The ‘war’ in UKR (provoked .. > a civil war with USuk supporting the Banderists) is lost, and has been ‘lost’ for a long time, depending on how one wants to define that, and how one envisions the possible outcomes.
Russia took over Crimea without splilled blood, the vote to join Russia reflected majority opinion (no comments on that for now) .. see also Donesk and L. split offs.
See how the “W” -> US as top boss, others who follow (Germany, Italy in first place, Axis powers in the past, now + UK, side-switcher, heh..) has been silent about Crimea for about a year or more now.
All those who ‘count’ and have ‘stakes’ in this game know that UKR could not survive in its 2010 form (done), nor do they care.
Slavs killing slavs is great, any dent made on Russia is wonderful, biz oppos in UKR (extractive industry / cheap labor / .. farming not so much, requires stability, etc.) will be ‘plentiful’ when things settle down. The public will just be fed BS via the State Prop MSM, Putin lost as he didn’t conquer Kiev in UKR, we need to defend Democracy, etc.
Russia will not give up until its ‘security’ is guaranteed. What exactly that will take Idk, as the European “W” has destroyed its credibility by being arrogant idiots…
Russia can no longer sign any accords (Merkel and Hollande admitting they lied about their adherence to the Minsk accords, who put them up to that I wonder, heh) with European countries / the EU. Moreover, ex ‘neutral’ countries, Sweden and Finland joining / applying to join NATO, Switz. putting stiff sanctions on Russia (beyond the ones mandated by the UN, which it now has to follow), Ireland on a kind of dodgy fence..hmm… opposition within Europe to the USuk-isr is diminishing as I write, all are ligning up to the Voluntary Loosers Club.
aspnaz posted, re. Bourdain.
Why the fuck did they kill him, that is the bit I don’t understand…
Yes, he was murdered, why is mysterious? Is tangled up? In the lower levels of celebrity, where a lot of acrimony, violence, etc. is tolerated?
His GF at the time, complicated … who knows. I don’t. Maybe there was a personal thing.
Note, the F State *always* covers up Anglo Suspicious Deaths (aka murders) on their territory.
See Lady Diana. That way, GB authorities / Police / S.S / Others/ can state, it didn’t take place here, we are limited in our reach, we are collaboratin’ with F Authorities, etc. Local GB groups (whatever) are thus limited, no local police, whistleblowers, witnesses, commentators, etc. nobody on the spot, it all happened on the Continent…
Very convenient.
John Day wrote: Dima at Military Summary channel reports that Macron cancelled his visit to Ukraine to sign a defense agreement for “security reasons” .. which are rumored to be that Ukraine planned to assassinate him and blame it on Russia.
Macron is terrified of physical violence and risk, he hides out when demos take place, and more, to the level of a shaking granny, say. He keeps this hidden as best as he, his staff, can.
As to plots to assassinate him, rumors can fly, and this one *may* have spooked him. I doubt the rumor is true, for sure the F SS would have known that, so it looks like just an ‘excuse’.
Anyways. Ze will travel to Paris instead.
Imho, the Macron visit was supposed to be a ‘soldering’ in some way(s) of F-Ukr ties, announcements, of ‘tight brotherly’ solidarity, and so on. Macron backed out (imho) because it is now accepted that Ukr. is in the pits and is to die a slow death / to be cut up, e.g. parts to Poland (Galicia ! ! ) and Blackrock, say, this last is just something I bang on about.
Note, the planned visit was joint junket, with a conglomerate of Biz (MEDEF international F-UKR) who also cancelled. Not a purely Gvmt-Leader visit. It was to discuss plans about re-building Ukr.
The plan was to announce 200 million Euros investment for re-build. (A small sum to be sure, yet a foot forward. The money comes in part from small biz who want oh-so-lucre stakes..
Macron was also supposed to announce that Ukr would now benefit for the F Agency of Development. (AFD in F. – being on the list awards some ‘guarantees’ of aid.) -> from F MSM press.
Just to say, much going on, and the competition right now is for who gets to control what, in the leftover, available, not too ruined, territory of Ukr. 1/3 of Ukr. rich farmland has already been sold off, beginning under Poroshenko, mostly to US Cos. (Afaik, no links to prove that right now.) F is a minor player, posturing and dancing around, it makes dates, backs out, etc.

The pretense of a ‘compos mentis’ Joe Geno is crumbling. The Democrat inner circle and masters have come to some realisation(s) and are now seeking a path to some ‘future’, I mean as a group, as no doubt some individuals have been plotting since day one.
That future doesn’t look good for the Dems. Independently of electoral machinations, varied skull-duggery, massive fraud (last election..) and the intricacies of US electoral procedures (see some expls. at top post) which I don’t grasp, the Dem Party has lost, is loosing, support massively.
Re. *only* personae and internal matters —> Booting out Bernie, the Bernie Bros, was a first kind of death knell, the second was a senile Prez hoiked up (neo-con-lib btw), and the third, which now comes into play, is the incumbent Vice, Kabala H.
This person would not be a successful manager of 2 pizza joints / a hair dressing salon / a skating rink, could not teach 6th grade with ease, could not cook for 40 ppl with 3 aides, could not manage a complicated HR computer program, etc. She was ‘selected’ as she was branded as representing a ‘minority’ but was not ‘black.’
sidebar: The Dems hate black ppl, at least those I have met in Europe do. Obama of course was not black, in the sense of being a descendant of slaves or ‘black’ immigrants. The son of a Kenyan/British foreignor and a US white gal linked to banking, academe, and maybe other …
Similar trajectories. The ‘Socialists’ in France became a non-entity with Hollande (long story), Macron and his backers and supporters took over the center-left and eliminated the competition. In GB, ppl here will be more familiar with that, Corbyn was thrown under the bus for ‘anti-semitism’ (amongst other sins), it took quite some strenuous (and degrading) effort but was accomplished.
Not that I lament the death of these parties, I am just describing. They had it coming, imho, good riddance. The true ‘left’ 🙂 will see another day – and rise. Or not.
Chris Hedges. Not a fan, still I read the article at top post, OK.
What Isr. is guilty of as determined by Int’l bodies is sadly only marginally relevant, if at all.
I wrote some time ago that Isr. will just ignore whatever judgments / condemnations / demands / strictures are made, by any Int’l organism.
While Isr. has presented arguments in the prescribed setting, to appear to be participating., etc., to keep the locals on board (in the main Israeli Jews), signalling > We are defending our legitimate actions, we have valid arguments, we can stand up to Int’l BS, etc.
…. As it has been doing for 70 years, nothing new.
Netanyahu has said “Nothing will stop us” (14 jan, 2.25 min.)
In that, he hits the nail on the head. Who, what country, what entity, force, coalition, will take DIRECT (such as military actions) measures to stop the Genocide in Gaza? None, as Isr. is defended by the USuk.
aspnaz quoted: “The reluctance of key European countries France, Spain, and Italy to join the naval alliance indicated a growing skepticism among the US’s traditional partners — both western and West Asian — about Washington’s commitment and capability to defend its allies in any impactful way.”
more:
“In response to Yemen’s Ansarallah-aligned armed forces’ Red Sea blockade of Israeli-linked vessels, the US Department of Defense announced the formation of “Operation Guardian of Prosperity … to uphold the foundational principle of freedom of navigation” in those waters, initially consisting of a coalition of ten countries, most of them insignificant partners.”
from: https://thecradle.co/articles-id/20286
Re. France, Macron first joined / supported / adhered to (.. not clear, verbal declaratives..) this naval alliance, and then 2-3 days later back-tracked. (Can be documented from MSM articles in F.)
Allegedly, it was Army Generals who refused to act, on ‘ethical’ grounds – as against the ethics of Defense Forces. I have no proof of this, it was of course covered up. Macron has always been the Jupiter who just forges ahead, or back, or moves sideways, etc. Yet that Prez. initiatives, decisions, declarations / etc. be scotched in this way, i.e. for the public to be able to see it, is unprecedented (last 20 years.) *Imho*
Israel. —– A two-state solution is what is always mouthed by all outside actors who pretend that they want ‘Peace.’ Particularly USuk and some EU countries. Now comes over as a cheery, folkloric, aspirational myth. Put forward to fool an ignorant public.
Potted history, offical version. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-state_solution
Some highlights: *1947.* Partition Plan (never implemented) .. 1993. Olso accords.. hmm..
A 2-state solution will never arise. All top political actors know this. No outside party will attempt to enforce it. (Incl. USuk, EU, R, UN.) While Fatah (ostensibly – their real role and its hisotry is another topic) might have been ‘for’ as a presentable policy, they have been crushed by Hamas, who, btw, afaik, has never expressed any interest / demands in that direction. Certainly not in the past 4 months.
Isr. will never accept a 2-state solution. As an ‘ethnic’, ‘separatist’ and ‘expansionist’ entity, it can only continue to corral, oppress, imprison, kill, etc. the low-life unter-menschen (Palestinians, but not only.) It can’t give that up, if it did, it would loose its internal support (Israelis who have privileges, etc. but of course not all Isr. citizens) and its outside backers who fund it, arm it, and prop it up with image Kontrol and various other measures.

Zelensky out of control (see top post) and Netanyahu going public saying,

Note Obama hated and disregarded Net., Biden loathes him as well, they haven’t spoken on the phone for maybe, idk, 20 days..(?)
It looks very much like some alleged ‘allies’ aka Satraps paid to do whatever by the USA are no longer directly controlled by the BidAdmin, they (e.g. in Isr, Ukr..) are going down their own path, in a ‘rogue’ fashion, in a confused way, indulging in agression / murder, in line in part with their long-standing aims that were previously encouraged, supported by the USA, now sorta left on the back shelf. The Hegemon is rapidly going down…
Just one angle, there are others.
The conflicts in Ukr. and Isr. are similar.
The CIVIL WAR aspect: One party tries to kill off, displace, get rid of the ‘bad, scum’ inhabitants, the undesirables, within a territory that is defined ethnically (etc.) and/or has a history or a hope as a ‘country’ ..
Isr. has no settled official borders, Gaza is controlled by Isr., the W. Bank is a patch of ethnic / religious enclaves controlled by Isr.
> *Pals / Arabs are scum.* (making it short.)
The Donbass in Ukr. was prev. for a long time part of Russia (USSR) and its inhabitants have been under attack since 2014 at least (Maidan) by the ‘Center’ + ‘W’ of Ukr. (Crimea managed to split off w. Russian support.)
> *Donbass Russkies are scum.* (short.)
Both are ‘controlled’ conflicts, they are not Great Powers in all-out war, but ‘minor’ (of course no. of deaths, etc. is horrific..) and various factions have different interests.
The glaring difference:
The Ukr. conflict was planned and directed by the US (+ allies, weakly..) since the collapse of the USSR, to the failed first Color Revol. in Ukr. (2004) to the harder, murderous, Maidan ‘coup’ (2014), followed by support for the Banderistas, targetting of Donbass ppl, and the ‘selection’ of Poroshenko, next, Zelensky, a better controlled puppet.
To provoke Russia, the Bear, attack it not only by sanctions, but on the ground in the Donbass, provoking it into a military response, which worked.
In Isr. the Locals in power, Netanyahu and other in his cabinet etc. reacted to all this concentration of US attention on the Donbass by creating mayhem that made them out to be victims, aw usual.
> Hamas attack that they certainly knew about, or directly sponsored … to get the US re-involved in defending Israel, as the US is turning away from the minuscule territory oupost in the ME. Obama and Biden loathe(d) Netanyahu. Negotiations, accords, if they take place, will be with Arab States. (Oil etc.)
Juat one take, one aspect.
Remembering… Namibia condemns Germany for defending Israel in ICJ genocide case.
The Namibia presidency slams Germany for failing to draw lessons from its own genocide against Namibian people in the early 20th century.
Wikpediai:
“The Herero and Namaqua genocide (or the Herero and Nama genocide) was a campaign of ethnic extermination and collective punishment which was waged against the Herero (Ovaherero) and the Nama in German South West Africa (now Namibia) by the German Empire. It was the first genocide to begin in the 20th century,[5][6][7] occurring between 1904 and 1908.”
To add to zerosum who linked to Pascal L. blog, Neutrality Studies, prev. thread,
who wrote: Pascal Lottaz (the host of “Neutrality Studies”) explains why he thinks the strikes on Yemen is the 1st stage of the coming war against Iran. LLoyd Austin is in hospital and the neocons are seeing their chance of escalating the war(s) in the Middle East.
Alexander Mercouris sees an “inevitable escalation” pointing to a US attack on Iran, in the same vein.

Pascal L., another vid:
ICJ-Case is HOPELESS for Israel. But Technicalities Might Save It After All.
http://tinyurl.com/3n6t96nr .. is well worth a watch.
The question has always been, will the US relinquish, maybe in part only, its hegemony, assumed, global dominating superpower status, in some reasonable, “downplaying”, negotiating, way, or will it just blast on and use nukes destroying much of the world, once it is forced to admit its own vision of itself no longer holds?
