I really love the part where they say they are going to prosecute Russia.

Would love to know how they intend to do that.

Russia has been cheating on the INF treaty for a dozen years, but the "civilized world" was outraged when Trump called them on it. Those same "civilized" people are in charge of the US, the UN, and France.

I was thinking this over. Rather than ROTC, which would put him in a good position to be an officer, or at least a leader, you might want to keep him out of the military, altogether.

There are certain fields of he could go into that would exempt him from selective service. At least, there used to be.

There are still some pieces of the puzzle that are not in place, for a war against us or nato, but the possibility of a tactical nuke being detonated over, say, Odessa, instead of the Russians invading it, is quite possible.

I have said it elsewhere, and will repeat it here:
I suspect, if Russia does use a nuke, we will just whine about it.

(At least, if they do it between now and August. Afterwards, the Democrats will put their finger in the air to gauge which way to go, with the election in mind.)

Does Vladimir Putin have cancer? A Russian Oligarch says he does, if this is true, Putin has nothing to lose if he decides to use a nuke on Ukraine, or any other country, including the U.S.:

https://www.newsmax.com ...

I don't know, any more.

I have been told, that while Putin may have every reason in his little world to use them, I am told he doesn't have direct control of them. He can give order to launch, but someone else in the politburo has to second that decision, or the decision dies. But that is just what I have been told.

Putin is dying, whether this year, or in a few years, his days are numbered, and he knows it. He wants to leave a legacy. Something history will remember him by. If he nukes Odessa, that would put him in the history books, and that is what I think he may soon do.

Again, if he detonates a moderate sized nuke, half a mile above ground, it would destroy an area a mile across, but would produce almost no fall out at all. That could well be his plan.

I need to check my sources. I haven't seen any traffic about increased posture of Russian forces, just sword rattling. Unless Russia changed its posture, first, we are becoming the aggressors.

Remember: deception is 2/3 of the game, in cold war, and half the game in hot war.

Also remember: the point of psychological ops isn't to get your opponent to think, but to actually act against his own self interest.

Seems that Russia is making more money now then before their invasion of Ukraine, seems, at least for now, the EU and the US plans to shut off Russia's export of fuels are back firing:

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/21/world/europe/ukraine-russian-oil-embargo.html

This whole USA/Russia thing reminds me of a kid I knew when I was little.. There used to be a very large dog inside a fence at the end of the alley and we walked by the dog everyday.. Another young kid got into the habit of sticking his tongue out and making noise at the dog every time he walked by. It just drove the dog nuts

Well one day the dog quit jumping and barking at the kid and just lay there watching him. So the kid just kept getting closer and closer to the fence until one day he stuck his tongue inside the fence and starting teasing the dog. Quick as a flash the dog took the end off his tongue....

I'm afraid we are going to get drug into something because Biden keeps teasing the dog and doesn't know when to quit...

Dave58 wrote:This whole USA/Russia thing ...

I have a slightly different take on the situation.

The dog has rabies. The fence is dilapidated and falling apart. We got rid of the rocks and ball bats, because hitting isn't "nice." It will, in a couple years, not matter what we do. If we don't change our ways, we are Alpo.

I find it funny, in a tragic sort of way, that the G7 thinks they can dictate the price they will pay for Russian oil and gas. Europe is already enslaved: its demise was assured, the day Biden was installed as president. All Russia has to do is shut of the spigot: Europe will grind to a halt, and freeze to death. (I do see, in the past two years, they have been reverting back to coal, but I doubt they can successfully deal with this winter's shortages.)

Situation in Jan 2022, the information is enlightening, even if those who were trying to brainstorm the problem are as useful as a screendoor in a submarine.
https://www.politico.eu/article/5-questions-for-the-eu-if-russia-turns-off-the-gas/

Austria, Greece, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Hungary and Slovenia relied on Russia for more than 40 percent of their gas.

Crisis simulations by Europe's network of pipeline operators ENTSOG show that a two-month winter stoppage of gas through Ukraine could be managed — but only if Nord Stream and TurkStream remain operational, if gas from Norway keeps flowing, and if storage and liquefied natural gas (LNG) can be tapped for supply.

A week ago:
https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-61899509

In recent weeks, several European countries said they received significantly less Russian gas than they expected.

Russian officials deny it's deliberate and have blamed technical issues.

Before the invasion of Ukraine, Europe imported about 40% of its natural gas from Russia but that figure has now fallen to about 20%.

'Strategic' reductions
Mr Birol says he believes that recent Russian reductions in gas supply are "strategic". The falls are making it harder for European countries to fill up their gas storage and increasing Russia's leverage this winter.

"I wouldn't rule out Russia continuing to find different issues here and there, and continuing to find excuses to further reduce gas deliveries to Europe and maybe even cut it off completely," Mr Birol told BBC News.

Last week the flow of natural gas through Nord Stream 1, one of the main pipelines from Russia to Europe, was just 40% of capacity. Many experts are sceptical of the Russian explanation that this was caused by "technical issues".

Across Europe, shortfalls in gas supply continue to be reported. On Friday the Italian firm energy firm Eni said that it had only received half of the gas that it was expecting from the Russian state-controlled gas giant Gazprom, while Slovakia and Austria have also reported falls.

Putin gives the west a right uppercut, seizes control gas and oil project:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/putin-seizes-control-over-major-gas-and-oil-project-from-foreign-investors/ar-AAZ4pF8

I am actually surprised it took this long. In the grand scheme of things, this is a minor annoyance (although the accumulation of a lot of minor annoyances, can become pretty major).

Here is some background on the project:
https://www.nsenergybusiness.com/projects/sakhalin-2-oil-and-gas-project/

The project comprises both offshore and onshore facilities and is operated by Sakhalin Energy Investment Company (Sakhalin Energy), a joint venture between Russian state-owned firm Gazprom (50%), Shell (27.5%), Mitsui (12.5%) and Mitsubishi (10%).

Shell announced to withdraw from its joint ventures with Gazprom, including Sakhalin-2, due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The Sakhalin-2 integrated oil and gas project was developed in two phases with an estimated investment of $20bn. It involved the development of the Piltun-Askokhskoye oil field and the Lunskoye gas field. Sakhalin Energy signed a production sharing agreement (PSA) for both the fields in 1994.
...
The development consists of three fixed offshore production platforms, offshore and onshore pipelines, an onshore processing facility, an LNG plant, and an oil export terminal with a tanker loading unit. The Sakhalin-2 oil and LNG export terminals commenced operations in December 2008 and February 2009, respectively.

Meanwhile China, very patiently, has its own space program, and through it, has shown they have every intent to supplant the US as The Global Superpower. (Their plan is: when they finish using Russia as their bludgeon, Russia will be discarded.)  

Here is one thing we discussed a few years back, that is now in operation:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/ramseyfaragher/2020/08/01/chinas-homegrown-gps-is-now-fully-operational/?sh=1ee613d610f2

The Chinese version of GPS, called BeiDou, was declared fully operational on Friday 31 July with great fanfare in a ceremony attended by President Xi Jinping. These Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), borne out of Cold War necessities for America and the Soviet Union to launch accurate nuclear strikes rapidly, are currently focussed more on Uber arrival times and Pokemon Go Gym takedowns. But why do countries choose to build rivals to the USA’s Global Positioning System whose very acronym “GPS” has become the universal expression for positioning and positioning technologies?

You have a point, but they called it a "nuclear attack," and said "the big one has hit," so that didn't cross my mind.

All in all, it just reinforces my desire not to live in a major city.

He discusses this PSA, and others that he saw as a child, in this article:

And he goes into much more practical advice.

I began to think about preparedness in '96, when my brother asked me a question about the future, but I didn't think too much about pandemics until the pandemic of '09.

I read crofsblog, on and off for a few years, but '14 when the avian flu epidemic wiped out the egg supply in the midwest I went looking for a better source, and found FlaMedic's site. It is ReadAble! and that is why I stick with it for my weekly updates.

What surprises me is the number of people on the "right" who are displaying weakness. I expect it from the Left, to get us into a fight, and then display weakness. The Left got us into this fight in Ukraine, 8 years ago, and again seven months ago, by displaying weakness.

This could have been stopped two years ago by continuing to produce oil and gas (higher oil and gas prices, because we don't produce, is funding Russia's aggression), and by stopping the Nordstream pipeline.

This could have been stopped a year ago by not showing weakness and incompetence in Afghanistan.

This could have been stopped, last winter, if we had supplied an extra 1000 Javelin and 1000 stinger missiles, along with extra artillery and ammo, before the invasion began.

But we didn't stop it. In for a penny, in for a pound? No, for six months we have been slow rolling the aid to Ukraine. Enough to keep the fight going, but not enough to win. Propaganda says we have supplied them more than $40Billion in military aid.
https://www.reuters.com/world/big-items-washingtons-40-billion-ukraine-aid-package-2022-05-19/
We haven't. Because we don't have any mechanisms in place to track supplies, only 30% actually reaches the fighters.
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/cbs-censors-own-documentary-after-ukraine-outraged-30-us-weapons-gone-missing
But the article I linked misses something. A lot of these supplies never reach Ukraine at all. The lack of tracking begins here in the US, and a lot of those supplies either don't exist in the first place, or they get diverted in Europe before they ever get to Ukraine.

I don't think it will come down to an invasion at least not at first. They (our government) will cut back on our food to weaken us. Then it will be a shortage on critical meds. Then the grid will go down and we are history. Maybe not in that order , but pretty close..

Keep in mind this is just a guess.
