Definitely going to stir things upHummm.....I expect a lot more of this. It's the only way the Ukrainians can level the playing field at this point. The Russian railroads are their biggest logistical bottleneck.

“Russia’s defense ministry said a Russian Su-35 fighter jet was scrambled over the Baltic Sea to intercept two US B-52H strategic bombers flying towards the Russian border, state news agency TASS reported on Monday.”

Yup.. : (That one intercept is a clear demonstration of two countries literally playing chicken with their nation's lives. One hiccup on either side and we'd be in a shooting war.
Replace the phrase "it won't be long now" with one that's being heard locally.Yup.. : (
The tension is palpable, even here, half a world away.
..The phrases "it won't be long now" and "it's later than we know" keep runnin' thru the back o' my mind.
I always use “it’s later than you think”.Replace the phrase "it won't be long now" with one that's being heard locally.
"Get ready it's about to start".
The pylons and the internal rotary launcher with the cruise missiles mounted it BUFF's "big game" "stick" these days......The BUFFasaurus in it's H model format is basically an airborne standoff cruise missile carrier.
And it sounds like the Buffasauruses were brought up to their control/go-no go points as well. No wonder the Russians were spooked enough to send up interceptors.

It is the same source I referred to in an earlier post. That was a long time ago and a lot of water under the bridge. The communists in Russia and the US realized they had been beat and decided to infiltrate the US. Putin realized the Russians Were nearly destroyed by communism and so did the Russians. When the US banks went over to “help” Russia recover, Putin stepped in before they were irreversibly raped of all their resources. Consequently the Russians were grateful for the restoration of a working, prosperous economy and an hopeful future. As part of Putin’s plan to restore that part of Russia’s culture that “worked” to its advantage before the communist Bolsheviks overthrew the Tsar, he ordered the rebuilding of a thousand Russian Orthodox churches that the communists had destroyed.We have seen the U S go twenty four seven for weeks, with very high tech missiles, not just mortars. There's a lot more ammo available then they are alluding too. though........ I do believe the goal is to strip the smaller nations of there's. Freedom from War, is a good look at the plan laid decades ago. John Birch Society, google it, get informed.
Much sooner than 2025 muchFor what it's worth Martin Armstrong AI program Socrates is predicting WWIII starting in 2025 and lasting to 2027.
He hints that it will start in Ukraine but hasn't given any details.

It has also crystallized what the US currently deems as a top strategic threat: the prospect of a halt to the proxy war in Ukraine. “If coming out of this meeting, there’s some sort of call for a ceasefire, well, that’s just going to be unacceptable,” National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby declared. For Secretary of State Antony Blinken, a Ukraine ceasefire would not only be unacceptable, but illegal. “The world should not be fooled by any tactical move by Russia supported by China, or any other country, to freeze the war on its own terms,” Blinken said. “Such a move would violate the UN charter.” The US argues that any ceasefire would consolidate Russia’s battlefield gains and allow it to prepare for a major spring offensive. While plausible, what happens after a ceasefire is not pre-ordained. A halt to the fighting in Ukraine could be followed by serious negotiations to end the war permanently, provided that all warring parties engage in good faith efforts toward that goal. As its top diplomat has newly made clear, the Biden administration is clearly in no mood to give diplomacy even a cursory try. |
Kishida to make surprise visit to Ukraine for talks with Zelenskyy

1–2 minutes
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida was due to make a surprise visit to Ukraine on Tuesday, becoming the final leader of a Group of Seven country to visit the war-torn country.
Kishida, who was visiting India, was already bound for Ukraine on Tuesday, NHK reported, citing government and ruling party sources. He was expected to arrive later in the day and hold summit talks with President Volodomyr Zelenskyy.
The visit comes more than a year after Russia invaded neighboring Ukraine, triggering a bloody war that saw the West and Japan present a united front in the face of Moscow’s aggression. Kishida’s visit also comes nearly a month after U.S. President Joe Biden made a secret visit to Kyiv — his first since the war erupted — where he met with Zelenskyy.

Interesting that they can have that in a Communist country, but here in the bastion of freedom we can't. Confederate Monuments.on the Russia-China border, where promises of closer ties between Moscow and Beijing aren't panning out.

US is speeding up its delivery of Abrams tanks to Ukraine, opting to send a refurbished older model that can be ready faster, with the aim of getting the 70-ton battle powerhouses to the war zone in eight to 10 months.
It costs a tremendous amount of money to keep and arm a modernized Army, when all they do is run around in a field doing "exercises". With no clear reason to keep it. (the left's perspective)We and especially Europe have reduced force structures dangerously close to what I would call "critical mass". Meaning, the forces have become so small that they now have a questionable ability to protect their own forces let alone even considering attempting to project force against an aggressor.
Some of the numbers cited in the video are shocking.

War with Russia is often spoken of in 2023, but the drastic reduction in the size of Britain's armed forces is often overlooked. Here, I compare the sizes of Britain's military in 1991, when it was specifically trained and deployed to resist a Soviet assault into Western Europe, and 2023. The figures are fairly shocking, something the US government recently noted as well.

I would go with the GO HOME option - the other option GO BIG effectively puts us into a Nuclear WW3.Pathetic.
Either go big or go home.
The European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell — who is also the head of the EDA — welcomed the decision taken by the 17 EU member states.“The project set up by the EDA provides a solid framework for the acceding member states to provide ammunition to Ukraine as soon as possible. The flexible and inclusive nature of the agreement will allow additional member states to join the initiative at a later stage,” stated a press release from the agency.
Hungarian Defense Minister Attila Szalay-Bobrovniczky, who was present at the Monday meeting of EU foreign and defense ministers together with Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó, revealed that Hungary had stayed out of the agreement, opting instead for “constructive abstention.”“By procuring together through the EDA project and mobilizing financial support from the European Peace Facility, we will deliver more and faster to Ukraine. Once again, we are breaking a taboo and unlocking the potential of EU cooperation in joint procurement,” Borrell said on Monday following a meeting of EU defense and foreign ministers.
At the same time, as the proposal would not put an end to the bloodshed, but rather would further increase the chances of an escalation, Hungary does not consider itself bound to participate in the initiative, he added.“On this issue, Hungary, as it does not support the war with weapons or soldiers, has used the so-called constructive abstention,” he told reporters.
“In other words, (Hungary) will not block other countries’ plans in this direction based on mutual respect for the decisions of individual member states.”
Odds that if Poland gets involved they attack straight north?
