The topic is war. Cutting to the chase: A discussion …

It is time for applyinhg individual sovereignty as best you and I can.  Let’s look at some conversations of the past few days alone.  Everyone who is still reasonable, not desperate, and still able to analyze, consider that we are on the cusp of breaking out in war.   Russia is still arming up, China is arming up, Iran is arming up, Venezuela is arming up, North Korea is arming up, little countries are attempting to arm.  Europe is trying to arm up but they depend on the US still.  Money is no object as people are being deprived of health care, pensions (Germany is a case in point) and social services are being cut to the minimum.  The gold price is exploding.

There are hundreds of people and channels and articles and essays being written in an analytical style.

It is dark and bitter over our lands and our planet.

I’ll keep this short and cut to the chase.

Which is first?  Venezuela? Iran? West Asia regional?  A surprise?  Where will the bloodsport erupt next?

Israel Should Have Already Ceased Fire Under Trump Plan For Gaza.  The carnage continues.  We have the new objective there which is whitewashing the whole genocide.

Diplomacy with Venezuela has just been shut down and all efforts to reach a diplomatic agreement have been ‘called off’.  The US military is now running drills just off the Venezuelan coast.  The reason given is that they are frustrated over Maduro’s refusal to step down and Venezuela’s rejection of U.S. accusations linking its officials to drug trafficking.  The facade is gone.

Russia, as far as I can see, just cut off the pretense of talks with the US.  There is no talk of extending the New START Treaty – Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov, and, the momentum for Ukrainian settlement that emerged after the Putin-Trump meeting in Alaska has been exhausted — Ryabkov

The yaw yaw is over.   Churchill also said:  War does not determine who is right, only who is left.

For China, I see new weapons being announced day after day and their soldiers are being trained until they fall down in exhaustion.  Then, they have to get up again.

The new leader of Japan is not hiding the hope to re-arm.

As a backdrop here, the narratives are falling apart.  The scripts are breaking.  A case in point and the perfect example is Venezuela, supposedly part of a war against drugs and everyone can see it is only little boats being bombed and droned on a ‘Trust me Bro’ basis.

Iran is telling the world on a daily basis that they are ready, and nobody should be thinking that they cannot give a good account of themselves.  I’ve seen people comment that they hope for this, and this time Iran should not stop.

Ukraine?  It continues on and the war is continually fed with outside resources.  Despite this, Ukraine cannot hold and Russia is attacking deep into Ukraine toward Lviv.  It is not long now, but NATO cannot afford to lose so they will double down.  They have Russia’s money to start with.

I wanted to write lists of options and decision criteria in an analytical style.  But, time is over.  We need to support one another, ask questions and deeply discuss.  It is time for sovereignty.

On West Asia, Col Wilkerson said it clearly:

First objective: Preservation of Bibi Netanyahu’s coalition and Bibi Netanyahu.
Second objective: Keeping the United States from causing him to do something he does not want to do wrt Gaza, Syria, Lebanon and elsewhere.

And then the kicker:

We’re going to war Nima!

MacGregor says:  Tomahawks in Ukraine risk nuclear Armageddon within hours.   If Ukraine uses US Tomahawk missiles, America could be facing war with Russia within a matter of hours.  “That war could rapidly escalate to the nuclear level, and once you hit the nuclear level, you have almost no control,” he warns.

Alastair Crooke : Order, Prudence, Rules are gone! The new geopolitical doctrine is here.

Professor Richard Wolff:  Desperation, absurdity, contradictions, and he explained what this all means from an economic perspective

Michael Hudson followed up:   The desperation is because the plans are not working.  The guns are loaded waiting for the tripwire.  The US has already decided on nuclear war.  He says Trump cannot acknowledge that unipolar control is over – because it will make Trump a loser.  He is losing already in terms of oil and the dollar, and for him, he is more important than Jesus … or Moses …

He can only respond by war and bring the whole thing down.

China is being continually goaded, and the last goading is in Panama.  https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202510/1345058.shtml

Even Dugin (and I am not a fan) is announcing:  

War is Ahead of Us.

Thus, monstrous trials await mankind ahead. They are already happening; we are already inside them. What we have now will seem like child’s play compared to what is ahead. Naturally, like any normal person, I am not gloating or happy about this. But wars practically always happen whenever people say they don’t want war. Wars do not depend on whether people want them or not. There is a certain logic to history which it is virtually impossible to evade.

In the US itself, little wars are raging.  As Putin said at Valdai when asked about the Department of War:

As a ship is named so does she sail.

What do you think?  Raw and unsophisticated is fine, but be honest and don’t fight with others.  So you think we should go to war?  Shall we fight the sheer horrible concept of war?  Will our world be better off if we kill another few millions of people?  How do you plan to survive?  Have you done ‘bug-in’ or ‘bug-out’ preparation?  Where is your heart?  Who do you bleed for?  If we can still drive Netanyahu and his cronies into the sea, will the threat of war diminish?  These are the existential questions.
