The disparity between America’s global aggression and the local capabilities of its primary targets, Russia and China, is so alarming that it makes contributors in the alternative media look like Carl von Clausewitz in comparison to our most celebrated military strategists.
We’re more powerful in the sense that if we decided to invade any helpless country anywhere, we could’ve pulled it off before everything was squandered in the past couple decades of Zionist warfare.
For example, if it was declared in 2001 that Argentina was a hotbed of terrorism, we had the financial, military, and logistical capabilities to move enormous military power all the way to the bottom of the planet to destroy its armed forces and deliver unimaginable death and suffering to its people. Nobody else could even consider attempting such an operation.
There’s still quite a bit we can do. If right now we decided to sponsor an insurgency against the government of Venezuela, there’s no conventional operation that Russia could undertake to thwart it like they did in Syria, because their ally is too far away. Fortunately for the Venezuelans, we’ve merely been trying to starve them to death since they’re not adjacent to Israel.
This global hegemonic advantage is mitigated if we try to do something on their doorsteps that they’re determined shouldn’t happen. The only thing preventing China from subduing Taiwan is that it has decided it would be wiser to deal with the situation later rather than getting hotheaded about provocations. Likewise, Russia hasn’t wrapped up the military phase of the operation in Ukraine due to considerations other than the amount of conventional force it could apply.
Somehow, none of this occurs to our most celebrated military strategists. Take General David Petraeus, for example. Ignore the fact that his brilliant strategies in both Iraq and Afghanistan ended in failure. Also, that he pleaded guilty to the same thing they’re trying to lock up Trump for because he was feeding information to his biographer (who he was banging).
He’s celebrated, which is why he’s on the news to reassure the public with his expert assessment of the situation. His views also seem to represent the consensus I hear echoed by my friends with gold and silver oak leaves on their shoulders.
In a recent interview, he said that Russia has committed everything it possibly could to the invasion of Ukraine and it’s now a question of when its troops will begin to desert and surrender en masse and if Zelensky will decided to press on and take everything, including Crimea, right away.
If Putin decides to use a nuke during this process, NATO will move in and wipe out everything Russia has in the region, including the Black Sea Fleet. It’s basically the same assertion that Ben Hodges, the former commander of the U.S. Army in Europe, claimed last month. Neither one gave any details about how this would be accomplished.
Let’s start with some basics on how the next world war might begin. First, there’s the Montreux Convention which bars any United States warships from transiting into the Black Sea through the Dardanelles if Turkey decides to invoke it in time of war. It did this immediately. The Turks have zero interest in war with Russia.
What about American carriers? They were useful in slaughtering Serbs back in the 1990s. Planners have known since the Cold War that if the big one starts, no carrier is safe anywhere near Europe. That’s why the plan was for them to move south of the GIUK gap into the safety of the wide open Atlantic.
So, probably the only thing Petraeus could be referring to is NATO conducting air operations from facilities mostly in Central and Eastern Europe. Despite all of the NATO members in the area, it’s unclear how many would be willing to invite the wholesale destruction of their countries when the moment arrives. There’s slavish Germany. Also, the Poles are actually quite enthusiastic due to their sheer hatred for the Russians. So, maybe at least two.
Set aside that war would likely involve the quick destruction of infrastructure that would trigger societal collapse. NATO aircraft would be operating from fields within range of a variety of missiles which have been devastating in Ukraine and Syria. Getting past that challenge, they’d be up against the full capabilities of the Russian Air Force protected by strategic depth so vast it always proves fatal.
They’d be taking on modern interceptors in airspace guarded by Russian AA, a multi-layered defense with a number of proven systems. The foremost is the long-range S-400, widely acknowledged to be the best in the world. Their forces are specifically designed to fight NATO, not poor people, and yet they’re talked about as if they’re on par with Iraq circa 2003. That’s for a reason, and not a good one.
Western media depicts the Ukrainians as vastly more capable and courageous than their Russian counterparts but somehow their air force was quickly wiped out. According to the Russian MOD, the tally is 318 aircraft, 159 helicopters, 2,188 drones and 379 AA systems as of early this week. In other words, what these strategic geniuses are trying to pump us up for is an absolutely idiotic, suicidal proposition. I guess it sounds better to “Americans” since it would be going on over in Europe.
Oh yeah, and there’s also the part where Putin has assured everyone that if under some scenario the survival of the Russian Federation was threatened that’s when to expect the nukes. He’s never once threatened to nuke Ukraine. All of these nuclear threats have been conjured by the American Empire. This Russia nuking Ukraine scenario is entirely a Western propaganda contrivance, like the Russians “blowing up” their own oil pipeline. Yet, it was blown up all the same.
What’s so worrisome is that Putin detonating a single nuke in Ukraine is what they all keep discussing. They keep simultaneously talking about him using a nuke, then saying it would be an incredibly stupid self-defeating tactic for him to do it, so he most likely wouldn’t do it. Notice anything suspicious?
This is so much more dangerous than 1962, when both sides recognized the legitimacy of each other’s existence and were just looking for leverage to maintain their security in a system where they both dominated the planet.

Great article! Revelation 18, here it comes:
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
The U.S. government: wicked AND imbecilic…not a good combination.
They never mention how many Ukrainian soldiers have died
The Northern People, who are proud of their illegal war against “their own country,” in 1861-77, won’t bother to enlist , while they accuse us of unnatural and “unpatriotic®” sympathy for Russia and the Ukrainian victims of their latest “Reconstruction.”
Generals Petraeus and Keane are Yankees, like most of what used to be the Southern People’s government, has been, since 1860. Like all Yankees, they’re motivated by the Puritan/Quaker impulse to reform the world and especially, to advance the dictatorship of the elect. Which itself, is fundamentally hostile to the republican form of government, and to the Constitution, which was made mostly by Southrons, who were conscious of their Southerness, and of the fundimental foreigness of Yankees and their idiology.
Russia is a federal republic. Bear that in mind. A republican that doesn’t take orders from Massachusetts, the self proclaimed capital of the World, if not of the universe.
