the biden madness is a pox on humanity......

After Trump’s emphatic win in the US presidential Election held on the 5th of November, I was both surprised and concerned by the lack of trouble making from the Democratic incumbent and his supporters. They were just too quiet, so I suspected that they had something up their sleeves.

It did not take long to understand, as the NYTs headline reads: Ukraine Fired U.S.-Made Missiles into Russia for the First Time, Officials Say, and how the attack came just two days after President Biden gave Ukraine permission to use long-range U.S.-made weapons to strike targets inside Russia. The attack came on the same day President Vladimir V. Putin lowered Russia’s threshold for the use of nuclear weapons ATACMS Madness – Has Biden Pushed the Nuclear Button on Trump’s Inauguration?    BY Seth Ferris  The Russian response is likely to be extremely painful, not only for Ukraine...

 

Silence before the Storm

We should have seen it coming in the wake of Trump’s massive win, as where was the expected rioting and legal challenges that we saw in 2016? When Trump won his first term as president, there was, in my opinion, an ominous silence, well, at least when you disregard the demented screeching and recriminations “online” of the more deranged fringe members of the Democrat voting base.

Trump had campaigned on a platform of ending the war in Ukraine urgently, even implying it was his number one foreign policy target, even promising, without providing details, that he would end the war in “24 hours” of assuming office.

Needless to say, this is typical of Trump’s aspirational style of rhetoric, rather than something that can be achieved, but the fact remains that he, and most of the US public, are deeply skeptical of continued support for Ukraine, both in the massive expenditure of national treasure and transfer of arms supplies, currently standing at an eye-watering US$175 BILLION dollars, as well as the authoritarian and, to be quite frank, anti-Christian nature of the Zelensky regeime.

It seems apparent now that the Biden administration has decided to hand Trump a poison chalice, in the form of allowing Ukraine to make deep strikes into Russia with ATACMS missiles. The official justification for this decision, is the western fever dream of “North Korean troops in Kursk”, for which no evidence has ever been provided.

The insanity beggars belief!

Needless to say, US lackeys in the UK and France quickly jumped on the bandwagon, with reposts in La Figaro that they were also supporting the use of the Storm Shadow/SCALP Anglo-French air launched cruise missile deep into “Old” Russia, a story that was joyfully broadcast by Ukrainian media in particular.

The usual chorus of psychopaths and want-to-be world rulers have applauded the decision, including Macron, who said, “It was a decision that was a totally good one”, Boris Johnson, who welcomed the news and also called for a US$500 billion dollar loan to Ukraine to provide more weapons, and the ever despicable son of George Soros, Alex, who commented “This is great news!”.

Of course, the usual rabid comments from the Baltic Chihuahuas have been doing the rounds, spurred by their traditional racism and hatred towards all things Russian.

When asked about these developments, the Russian response was blunt and to the point, as stated by Maria Zakarova, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman:

… One thing is clear: considering the Kiev regime’s defeats, its Western curators are betting on the maximum escalation of the hybrid war unleashed against Russia, trying to achieve an illusory goal: to inflict a strategic defeat on Moscow. However, no wonder weapon that Zelensky and his henchmen pray to get is capable to affect the course of the special military operation.

President Vladimir Putin clearly stated on October 25 what “permitting” to use of NATO high-precision long-range weapons actually means. He stressed that Ukraine cannot execute such strikes on its own without using space satellites and flight assignments provided by NATO military personnel.

There was also significant anger from inside Trump’s campaign team, with his son, Donald Trump Jr. stating:

“The Military Industrial Complex seems to want to make sure they get World War 3 going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives,” he tweeted. “Gotta lock in those $Trillions. Life be damned!!! Imbeciles!”

A view echoed by many of Donald Trump’s supporters and team.

It seems that the idea is for Biden and the Democrats to escalate the war by provoking Russia, leaving Trump with the unenviable option of either backing down, likely to be an anathema to the Don, or having to renege on his campaign promises. Either way, a poisoned chalice indeed.

The next question: What impact these strikes will have now that Ukraine is carrying them out? 

While some Western media is again going down the road of promoting the next “wunderwaffen” that will “change the course of the war”, others are finally becoming more realistic, after the hype surrounding the use HIMARS, Patriots, NASAMs, Bayraktar drones, the western “super tanks” and Bradley AFVs, Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles, and the Javelin ATGM, none of which have had any lasting effect on the battlefield after their initial deployment.

As the BBC points out:

The supply of the missiles will probably not be enough to turn the tide of the war. Russian military equipment, such as jets, has already been moved to airfields further inside Russia in anticipation of such a decision. However, moving equipment further back from the front lines may make life difficult for Russian troops as supply lines are stretched, and air support takes longer to arrive.

It is quite common knowledge that the Russians are well-prepared for defending against the ATACMS missiles, and the Storm Shadow/SCALP, all of which have already been used by Ukraine against targets in Donbass and Crimea. Russian Air Defense, in the form of surface-to-air missiles and jamming of guidance systems has already severely degraded the HIMARS/ATACMS system, and the relentless shooting down of Ukrainian Air Force Su-24 strike aircraft and bombing of their bases has reduced the launches of the Anglo-French cruise missiles to almost zero.

Given the fact that Russian jamming has severely reduced the effectiveness of western guidance systems, Ukrainian long-range strikes are likely, as in Donbass and Crimea using US and EU supplied weapons, and with Ukrainian drones against cities as far as Moscow, likely to be in the form of indiscriminate strikes against civilians. Given the destructive power of the ATACMS, particularly the cluster bomb warhead option, this will need an immediate response from Russia.

Such attacks are likely only to be “morale boosters” for the Ukrainian public, and their supporters in the west, with little, if any, effect on the front line, where the Ukrainian position is increasingly catastrophic.

The Russian response, however, is likely to be extremely painful, not only for Ukraine, but for its western backers as well. Putin has made it quite clear in September 2024, that he will consider such attacks as the direct involvement of the US and its NATO allies in the war, and respond accordingly.

“This would in a significant way change the very nature of the conflict. It would mean that NATO countries, the US, European countries, are at war with Russia, and if this is so, then, bearing in mind the change in the very essence of this conflict, we will make appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be created for us”

Thus far, it has exercised significant restraint to minimize civilian casualties, contrasting sharply with the tactics of the “civilized West” in conflicts like Serbia (1999), Iraq, and Libya. Ukraine has exploited this restraint by storing military equipment in densely populated civilian areas.

Russia could abandon these self-imposed limits, escalating the conflict dramatically. This could lead to a substantial increase in Ukrainian casualties, overwhelm UAF air defenses, and further cripple Ukraine’s energy grid.

The Russians could also feel justified in attacking the logistics that support the UAF outside Ukraine. Finally, there is the new Russian nuclear doctrine.

Let us hope it does not come to that, and that cooler heads prevail in the west, but it is not looking good. Staring defeat in the face, Ukraine and its Western backers are looking like they are gambling the future of billions on a roll of the dice.

It really does seem that Biden is more than willing to push the nuclear button on Trump’s inauguration.

the triumvirate.....

Retired US Army Lieutenant General Michael Flynn has urged Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke the 25th Amendment to prevent President Joe Biden from “sleepwalking” into World War III after he allegedly permitted Ukraine to use ATACMS missiles to strike deep inside Russian territory.

While Washington has neither confirmed nor denied the anonymously sourced reports, the Russian Defense Ministry stated that Kiev has already used the US-supplied missiles to target Russia’s Bryansk region. Additionally, Biden abruptly decided to supply Ukraine with anti-personnel landmines, breaking his 2022 promise to restrict their use.

“The current House of Representatives must impeach Biden for endangering the United States,” Flynn said in a post on X, arguing that his former boss was impeached for much less. “Harris should immediately invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Biden – he’s sleepwalking us into WWIII. Let’s at least put constitutional pressure on Harris because Joe’s poor memory makes him unaccountable.”

In the meantime, President-elect Donald Trump’s allies and potential appointees, such as former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, who is tapped to become US Attorney General, should not stay silent and reveal “the identities of the deep state operatives pulling the strings of the presidency, urging Biden to act recklessly,” Flynn said.

“Incoming US officials must make contact with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin to deescalate the situation,” he added, drawing parallels to his own conversation with a former Russian ambassador, which made him one of the key figures in the ‘Russiagate’ conspiracy. “Different circumstance but same outcome – deescalation,” he noted.

Trump appointed Flynn as an adviser shortly after taking office in January 2017. However, Flynn was forced to resign less than a month later after being accused of misleading officials about a phone conversation with Sergey Kislyak, Russia’s ambassador to the US at the time. This controversy arose amid broader allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow to win the election, which Trump strongly denied, accusing Democrats of staging a “witch hunt.”

In 2017, Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his call with Kislyak but later withdrew his plea, claiming the government tried to frame him. The Justice Department dropped the charges against Flynn in 2020, and Trump pardoned him for any wrongdoing later that year.

Who Is Authorizing Biden’s Nuclear Brinkmanship While The President’s Brain Is Missing?
It’s so fun how the Biden administration is using its lame duck months to skyrocket hostilities between nuclear superpowers and we don’t even know who’s really making these decisions because the president’s brain is cottage cheese.

Caitlin Johnstone

Ukraine has already begun using US-supplied long-range missiles in Russia, despite Putin’s warning that this exact sort of escalation will place NATO at war with Russia. This happens as Russia officially changes its nuclear doctrineto lower the threshold for when it’s permissible to use nuclear weapons in retaliation for attacks on its territory.

So far the attacks appear to have been mostly repelled without having done any significant damage.

This is frightening, but I have a hard time imagining that Russia makes any extreme moves against the US before Trump takes office. It seems like they’d want to wait and see what Trump does once he gets in before taking any horrifying risks like that. It is much more likely that Russia will instead respond to this escalation by escalating its attacks on Ukraine, like it normally does. 

Who knows, though? If these attacks on Russia continue, there’s literally no limit to how bad this could get.

It’s so fun how the Biden administration is using its lame duck months to skyrocket hostilities between nuclear superpowers and we don’t even know who’s really making these decisions because the president’s brain is cottage cheese.

These escalations happen as Ukrainians begin moving into a majority consensus that it is time to seek peace. A new Gallup poll has found that a majority of Ukrainians throughout the country now support peace talks to end the war with Russia, with 52 percent favoring peace and 38 percent wanting to fight on. 

As usual people are more opposed to continuing the war the closer they are to the frontline, with 63 percent of the respondents in eastern Ukraine supporting peace talks and only 27 percent wanting to continue fighting. The further you are from the effects of this horrific proxy war the more likely you are to support it; it’s just as true inside Ukraine’s borders as it is when you include all the western armchair warriors who want to continue fighting to the last Ukrainian.

“Listen to the Ukrainians,” we were told when all this started. Well, here they are. This proxy war has been waged in the name of defending Ukrainian democracy, and yet it continues to dangerously escalate against the will of the majority, at the direction of a president in Kyiv whose elected term ended months ago.

❖

Fighting a war with Russia always seems like a swell idea until you actually try it. The fact that the majority of Ukrainians now support ending the war is yet another example of this oft-repeated history lesson.

❖

The only way to view Trump as significantly worse than Biden is to take very little interest US foreign policy, and the only way to take so little interest in US foreign policy is to care very little about non-western lives.

❖

Every day I’m interacting with liberals who inadvertently reveal that they are only just now beginning to pay close attention to what’s happening in Gaza, now that they’ll be able to blame the genocide on someone else. I was just talking to a Democrat who informed me I’m going to miss Biden after hundreds of Palestinians begin starving to death in Gaza when Trump gets into office. I told him Palestinians are believed to be starving to death by the tens of thousands presently; we just don’t hear about it because indirect deaths like malnutrition aren’t part of the official daily death toll. 

It’s so much worse than they realize because they spent more than a year looking the other way while it was happening, so now you’ll often see them warning that Trump is going to do things that Biden has been doing this entire time.

❖

People who say you get more conservative as you get older are just projecting their own personal shittiness onto everyone else. I get more radicalized by the year. It’s not even about older people having more wealth to protect; I’m making more money than ever before and I still want to obliterate capitalism. 

You get more conservative and right wing as you get older if you fail to grow as you age. It just means you’ve been wasting your time on this planet and allowing yourself to become intellectually lazy and morally stagnant.
