These people are really insane. I mean, they are talking about this casually now. Television viewers casually flipped on CNN yesterday, saw this segment sketching out the various nuclear destruction scenarios under consideration, and thought to themselves: "All is going well with US foreign policy" https://t.co/qVfiYMjQcw— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) October 4, 2022

Really Awful “Rhetoric”  “Rhetoric” in quotes because it may not be just that.  I have not been posting much, partly because I had a wedding for daughter, Sasha, last weekend, but also because I am seriously demoralized by the current situation, and every time I think I have something intelligent to say about the economics of it, that seems to keep changing, although I shall soon. Anyway, I have to get off my chest what I have heard from my...

A war between the USA and Russia will probably happen soon unless the USA changes its suicidal political course One truth which is never mentioned by the AngloZionist propaganda is that Russia has retreated as far as she can and that there is a broad consensus in Russia among both the political elites and the people that Russia cannot retreat any further. God knows that even if all the “Putin caved in” propaganda is nonsense, it remains nonetheless true that the perception of the western...

Continually pushing for dominance in the backyards of the world's nuclear powers is madness. Not if one thinks that they can win a nuclear war, which the neocons apparently do.

The Russian Aerospace Force will support Syrian troops if the Western coalition decides to launch attacks against Syria due to the provocation of the “chemical attacks” in Idlib province, according to Russian Senate International Committee member Oleg Morozov. So there it is. Russia has decided to cross the Rubicon and throw down the gauntlet.  The one thing to be avoided at all costs during the Cold War after the Cuban missile crisis — nuclear power confrontation.  Is Donald Trump...

The dominant propaganda meme of the day, as already noted by Colonel Lang, is that Bashar al Assad unleashed chemical weapons on "innocent women and children" in rebel held territory and that Russia and Iran, along with Syria, are responsible. We MUST take action (or so we are told emphatically by morons pretending to be news anchors on the various cable outlets). Few media outlets are willing to report that this information is not only uncorroborated but originates with established liars...

So there you have it. The cards are on the table. “We are greatly concerned by some parts of the new nuclear posture, which reduces the benchmark for the use of nuclear weapons. Whatever soothing words one may try to use behind closed doors, we can read what was written. And it says that these weapons can be used in response to a conventional attack or even a cyber-threat,” [Putin] said. “Our nuclear doctrine says Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons only in response to a...
