Kellogg confirmed that non-expansion is “one of the points that Russia is raising.”

⭕Why does the green aphid seek direct negotiations with the presidents of the USA and Russia? The answer seems obvious: a conversation between three people means powerful legitimization of the insect due to the authority of those present.

But there are also other related tasks.

1. Postpone the elections: “You see, even they communicate with me, and despite our Constitution, which means that my powers are recognized by the older dangerous uncles!”
2. Send a signal to your nationalist elites : it is not time to change horses in midstream (not time to fight the aphids). Especially since the aphids have established a special relationship (myrmecophilia) with the Europeans (see below).
3. Obtain the right to continue stealing the military budget. It is known that aphids have not only enemies, but also patrons. Its symbiosis with ants (macrons, mertz, starmers and other hymenoptera) is well known. They protect (“herd”) aphids, receiving honeydew from them in return – secretions containing cocaine.
4. To reinforce with the fact of the meeting the idea that even an insignificant aphid has the right to sign papers on the results of military events, and therefore, she is untouchable in the future.

🔻 Arnaud Bertrand: This has bizarrely received almost zero coverage in Western media but it’s actually an absolutely massive deal.

China, the countries of South-East Asia (ASEAN) and the Arab states (GCC) just held a summit in Kuala Lumpur to forge what could become the world’s largest economic bloc, covering everything from free trade agreements and de-dollarization to Belt-and-Road connectivity.

Together, these countries have over 2 billion people, 30% of the world’s GDP and, crucially, about 55% of world GDP *growth* in PPP terms.

In their joint statement (here) they agree to:

1) Massively develop free trade between them
“Promoting free trade and welcoming the full conclusion of the ASEAN-China Free Trade Area 3.0 Upgrade Negotiations, and looking forward to its early signing and entering into force, as well as an early conclusion of the China-GCC Free Trade Agreement negotiations”

2) Bypass the dollar
“Exploring cooperation on local currency and cross-border payments”

3) Belt and road expansion, for “seamless and efficient inter-connectedness”
“Promoting high quality cooperation under Belt and Road Initiative and seamless connectivity, including through the development of logistics corridors and digital platforms”

4) Develop a cross-regional digital economy framework, including in AI
“Exploring a cross-regional framework to promote the digital economy, in areas such as digital trade, e-commerce, digital payment, fintech, artificial intelligence, start-ups, and data security cooperation”

5) Energy markets coordination
“Supporting global energy market stability and adopting a balanced approach that does not exclude energy sources but instead innovates technologies that enable emissions management and efficient use of all energy sources”

In short, this could represent nothing less than the most significant realignment of global economic power in generations, bringing together 2 billion people and more than half of the world’s GDP growth under a single cooperative framework.

🔻 Armchair Warlord: This deserves a longer comment.⬇️

We’ve been pushing Patriots into Ukraine for two-plus years now, ever since the Ukrainians started to run thin on their doomsday stockpile of Soviet S-300s. They’ve been failing to kill modern Russian missiles for the same period of time. And the “oh it’s just old stock” cope is definitely not valid here, the Ukrainians have been getting the latest PAC-3MSE interceptors and every missile, radar and launcher that could be wrung from the Davos Regime’s global force structure. They have accomplished little to nothing, with Russian attacks routinely sailing through dense missile defense coverage with little to no attrition. Ditto in Israel, where Israeli Patriots faced modern Iranian ballistics barreling straight into their launchers – an ideal intercept scenario – and turned out to be perfectly useless.

The simple fact of the matter is that the Patriot system – despite upgrade after upgrade – is obsolescent. PAC-3 was designed after the 1991 Persian Gulf War to kill R-17 Elbrus/”Scud” missiles, which the Iraqis used with some success to harass Coalition forces in that conflict. That threat is three full design generations behind modern “Red Force” missiles. Patriot manifestly lacks the kinetic performance and precision needed to defeat modern threats. It cannot and will not perform in battle.

What is the US Army doing about this, a problem we’ve known about for two years now? As near as I can tell, practically nothing! The Army has continued its glacial expansion of the THAAD force (currently at a grand total of seven or eight batteries worldwide) and it’s made some lazy talk of eventually firing (rare) SM-6 missiles from its tiny force of ground VLS launchers. That’s it. That’s the future of high-end missile defense in the US Army that isn’t coming off a Patriot launcher. And apparently we cancelled the program to replace PAC-3 MSE last year, because it was too expensive!

Just to give you an idea of how thin the vaporware of the latter capability is, the Army currently plans to acquire a grand total of sixty-four (64) ground VLS tubes. Not batteries. Not launchers. Tubes. Tubes which do not have an associated ground AEGIS air defense radar and which are currently 100% dedicated to Tomahawks.

The US Army’s strategy for future missile defense, as of the Year of Our Lord 2025, three years into our front row preview of World War Three, appears to be to just… pretend that Patriot performs as advertised and hope our bluff doesn’t get called. This is beyond unacceptable. People need to get fired over this. Some should probably be prosecuted.
[links his older, “This despite the fact we’ve had radars looking at Iskanders and Kinzhals for more than three years now so it’s not like the Russians are throwing novel threats at us.

PAC-3 was designed to kill SCUDs and simply lacks the performance and precision to intercept modern threats.”]
🔻 Armchair Warlord: By the way, as of the end of last year we’d sent at least 847 PAC-3 MSE rounds to Ukraine.

I’m fairly certain that Raytheon is not replacing these rounds in real time given their record with every other system in their portfolio. |link|

🔻 WS: Powers’ book, Operation Overflight, published in 1970, was a very influential book for me. I’m pretty sure I first read it as an 11-year-old, in the summer of 1971. It was very formative of my views of Russian military tech. |link|

It is very commonplace to blame reversals and even defeats in America’s various wars of choice as merely a matter of lack of will. If America really wanted to win, it would win, the story goes; the failure of the US is just one where it never commits the force necessary to finish the fight. But today, that excuse rings hollow. Trump’s Operation Rough Rider, unlike Biden’s operations, utilised many of America’s most limited, expensive, and advanced weapons to try to bring the Houthis to heel. And still it surrendered. The lessons here are thus quite bleak. America’s preferred and increasingly only viable method of warfare — aerial warfare — is no longer cost-effective nor practical.

• A date for a new round of Russia-Ukraine talks will be announced in the near future.
• During these direct talks, Moscow will insist that Kiev repeal “all discriminatory laws” currently in force in Ukraine.
• The Kiev regime does not represent the population of Crimea and southeastern Ukraine.
• Russia’s demands regarding Ukraine’s non-nuclear and neutral status must be fulfilled.
• The push to integrate Ukraine into NATO became the trigger for the conflict.

🔹On the West’s behavior, NATO and international issues:

• Russia’s retaliatory measures target only Kiev’s military facilities. It is sad that the West only reacts to Russia’s just and legitimate responses to Kiev’s terrorist attacks.
• Moscow considers unacceptable the West’s emphasis on the principle of territorial integrity while ignoring the right of peoples to self-determination.
• There has been no conflict in which the West was genuinely guided by respect for the sovereign equality of states.
• Global stability depends on the ability to prevent the West from advancing its own interests.
• The Western theory that conflict between major powers is inevitable withstands scrutiny in the real world – Russian-Chinese cooperation is a clear example of this.
• Russia is closely watching NATO’s troop buildup along its borders with concern.
• There is hope for progress in Tehran-Washington negotiations—they are moving in the right direction.
• In the fight against terrorism, Russia is open to cooperation with all countries that do not apply double standards.

This is pathetic. As Russia is reduced to “Putin”, now the Yanquis to “President Trump.” InfoWar spun for the unwashed who still believe their lies.

He knows quite well there is a security deep state, continuity of government and that Prezes have been mere figure heads for generations.

Policy is crafted at lower levels by the unelected, unaccountable, and permanent hive mind bureaucracy.

All that Orange has been forced to do is change tunes, or sing less sweetly, like a well-fed waddling parrot, on command. He’s been dropping the risible mask of “Peacemaker”.

And what the Russians have done is message THE YANQUIS are irrelevant and not in charge. They never trusted Orange. He demonstrated bad faith in his first term. They gave his clique rope at the start of this new term, in which to show good faith by ending the 404 war, and they promptly hung themselves.

Now, after the Russians got the world to see the ramped up Anglo-UkroNazi drone terrorism on their lands, and Yanqui failure to dissociate and resolve matters through talks, they increasingly and assertively dictate terms, ever expanding and comprehensive. And they will submit the entire crazed fragmented lot.

IOW, this entire rigmarole was for benefit of Global South-Global Majority from the perspective of both. Orange has been exposed as another lying dissembler. Now Russia can complete the battlefield victory, where it was always fated to be finished.

Let MacGregor and other spin meisters reduce it to “Biden” or “Trump” — it’s on them all. The fools point fingers even as the Titanic sinks, instead of rushing for the lifeboats!

We all thought the hapless Poles or Romanians, or evil Limeys, might get the first extra-404 missiling by the sedate Russkie, but is Deutschland gonna win the prize?? Reichsführer Merz ticks so many boxes in the Passion of the Worst!
