I’ve detested this song for so many years! Since I first heard it. However it does appear, spiritually and metaphysically and geopolitically, it REALLY is happening now. For the modern iteration of Harlot Babylon has a physical address. As one falls, so does the other. You can see it — in the frenzied activity of Starmer and Gang, working to detonate Armageddon in the very little time they have left to them. The Passion of the Worst!

These cartoons capture the nature of the BS! He just talks and talks, without much sense, appearing lucid.

Well said. Drumpf in his inauguration rolled out the lineaments of the new Colonial Era. But between proclamation and realization is a vast chasm… And AB Atwan nails the observation that foremost, the internal stability of USA will be affected by the accelerating madness

I wonder how much of the insistence by Anglo elites and military honchos such as Ben “Estrogen-Rich” Hodges that “Russians are losing, and have already lost 1,000,000 fighters, and are ripe for the pickings if we only hold on for a little while longer…” is driven by not “professional envy and ignorance” or even delusion or the need to motivate suicided UkroNazis to the last, but out of need to shape the coming nuke FFs.

For efficacy, Russia MUST be messaged as the weaker party, regardless of Reality.

The criminals have always known they could NOT conventionally defeat Russia. It was always planned to go full retard and use Ray’s locked top box. “Nuclear Primacy” and such cope, as succinctly investigated by Eric Zuesse. Thus was the civilizational suicide of the combined West baked in..

However the unbearably slow attrition grind (for West!), the clear lack of advance by NATO, the unveiling of Oreshnik, and now the advance of Russkie and admittance by new NATO head that Russians own MIC preponderance, have thrown wrenches in the imperial cogs.

How to square that circle??

The whole world realizes Russkie is winning and will complete the win. It makes no sense for the winning side to use nukes, EVEN if they lost a million.

So this does appear the misplaced ravings and stale script of those unable to change scripts, because the criminals, marinated in own unimaginative and degenerate hubris, never bothered to have a Plan B.

Thus the FFs are likely to now be attributed to Persia…

This was expected. Russkie has been rapidly withdrawing in good order — repositioning assets in Syria to Africa and back in Russia proper..

At the end of the day, the new salafi regime in charge is chattel of the combined West, as with all such cult creation of the British Empire. Driven weak-minded sons of their fathers.. they are welcome to each other.

The majority within Syria, or the region, or worldwide among sunnis, despise both salafi and are enemies of zionazidom and the West.. expect good news soon of a stout Resistance to attrit them back into the godless deserts or steppes whence these came..

the issue which toppled Syria remains — a poor people subjected to satanic starvation siege for decades.. Ill-led to get them out of the current cul-de-sac. What needs to be born shall be born  — they have the collective wisdom, as in Gaza or Yemen or Iran. Note similar poverty and siege does not daunt nor constrain them, so the issue is of the suitable leadership…

So do not be demoralized by current posturing and psyops of the western chattel. They’re on fast-escaping borrowed time, resorting to narrative and optics to try to hold on to that which is impossible to hold on to for long.

The vast Syrian people are good. They’re sufis like Rumi (70% of Syria according to the Syrian Laith Marouf), and now will become sincerely allied with Alawites, Christians, Shiia, etc. They’ve done it countless times in past. They’re another civilizational-state.

This should help us keep in perspective that as an invaded and occupied Russia, China or Iran always returned and triumphed over the barbarians, so shall these redoubtable Syrians, heirs to the oldest known civilization-city of all

Yep. It’s more memes.. Sinking Empire of Illusions.. the Great Wurlitzer must be fed, constantly, with narratives. This was guaranteed to consume attention for at least several days..

Will wait for Brother Casey to find the esoteric and nefarious double entendre. They always stack functions..

I thought, in conjunction with Trump’s refusal to place hand on Bible during taking the oath, that it may be reference to witchcraft, but the hats not the same. Hers is low, severe, quite wide brim and largely hides the eyes.

It may be as simple as trying to intimidate — see Orange’s official portrait, and the blessedly ignorant Knights Templar muscle man he’s selected as Sec of War. At this point, beleaguered, essentially demilitarized, and in retreat, they’ll ramp up “the teeth-baring” gimmicks. More of the Nixon madman posture; instead of dementia daddy, the current will be the unpredictable clown of chaos

⭕ Really Mr. President? Trump claims US won WWII

Americans “won two world wars, defeated fascism and communism,” Donald Trump said during his inaugural address.

No offense, Donald, but that’s not the case. The Soviet Army inflicted the 80% of the German Wehrmacht’s casualties. But don’t take our word for it:

“Let’s be blunt: the German army lost World War II on the Eastern Front. For most of the war, 75-80 percent of the Wehrmacht had to be deployed in the East, a preponderance dictated by the sheer size of the front, and 80 percent of German war dead perished there: about four million of the five million German soldiers killed in World War II,” says the official website of the National WWII Museum in New Orleans. |media|

⭕ ‼️ American Exceptionalist Delusions Run Amok

Gritting my teeth the entire time, I started watching former CIA Russia analyst George Beebe’s recent interview on the @TheDuranReal. I was unable to finish it, and instead made myself read through Beebe’s January 13th commentary at @RStatecraft. (responsiblestatecraft.org/tr…)

I will not mince words: In my estimation, Beebe is a woefully deficient observer and analyst of those things about which he is purported to be an expert.

He clearly does not closely follow what is said by the most important voices in Russian leadership: Vladimir Putin, Sergey Lavrov, Dmitry Medvedev, and others. Or, if he does follow these voices, he is somehow incapable of correctly interpreting the meaning of what they say.

While not nearly as pestiferous, in many ways Beebe is not all that dissimilar to the infamous imbecile Michael McFaul, who briefly served as ambassador to Russia during the Obama administration.

But I will refrain from a full-blown excoriation of Beebe’s previously uttered delusions in relation to Russia, and focus my rhetorical wrath on the excerpt posted below.

Beebe sets forth the demonstrably fallacious argument that:

“… even capturing all of Ukraine would not resolve Russia’s larger security problems with NATO. The Kremlin would still have to contend with a 32-member NATO alliance whose military and economic might far exceeds that of Russia.”

This, of course, is widely recognized as pure silliness here at the start of 2025. As even Mark Rutte (newly installed Secretary General of NATO) has recently acknowledged, Russia is outproducing by several multiples the combined military output of the entire NATO bloc.

The Russian military has, with one hand tied behind its back, methodically destroyed the AFU + NATO military force arrayed against it in Ukraine; simultaneously exposed the near total demilitarization of the European NATO countries, and concurrently attrited a significant portion of American military capacity and munitions stockpiles.

Beebe continues:

“In particular, Russia will soon face U.S. intermediate-range missiles in Germany for the first time since the 1980s, for which it has no effective countermeasures.”

This is unmitigated nonsense. The US not only lacks a proven and credible “intermediate-range missile” to menace Russia from Germany, but Russian missile defense has incontrovertibly demonstrated its effectiveness against the best missile systems NATO has deployed in Ukraine. The ATACMS and Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles have both proven to be utterly inefficacious from the very beginning of their use against Russian targets — and over the past few months, they are being defeated at a ratio exceeding 95%.

Furthermore, all American missile installations in Poland, Romania, and Germany are well within the range of Russian strikes against which the US/NATO, by their own admission, have no effective countermeasures.

Beebe is lost in a hallucinogenic haze of American exceptionalist fantasies.

Russia’s objectives have been clearly stated since they submitted to the NATO countries (in December 2021) their proposed draft treaty for European security, wherein they explicitly demanded that NATO military presence must be withdrawn to its 1997 borders.

These Russian demands were laughed to scorn by the Americans and their European vassals back in December 2021, but they have been repeatedly and consistently restated ever since, and there is no reason whatsoever to believe Russia — now in a greatly enhanced position of strength — will compromise when it comes to these demands as a prerequisite to a comprehensive and enduring European security architecture.
🔻 Aristophanes: I agree with your assessment if we remain within conventional warfare. How does the possibility of nuclear-armed missile attacks change the equation though, in your opinion?
🔻 WS: I don’t believe the US is suicidal.
📜 To Nuke or Not to Nuke?
[appearances are deceiving at end-stages of Empires. And doubly so for End Times. It ain’t exactly suicidality, but unpredictable all-consuming madness and resort to delusion for coping that greases all paths — to the same practical effect]
🔻 C2: I agree that deliberate suicide is probably not on any great power’s mind. My fear is that hubris or miscalculation might lead one or more jumpy parties to an accident. I still think “Dr Strangelove” should be compulsory viewing for anyone seeking power in a nuclear state.
🔻 Filippo Neri: The US doesn’t have intermediate-range missiles to deploy at the moment.

Also, Russia could deploy its own intermediate-range missiles, even nuclear-armed ones. America has no nuclear warheads for any future tactical missile and has no ability to build them, unlike Russia, which has them and could build a thousand more every year.

⭕ 🤡🌎 USAF Clown Car Crash

Edwards Air Force Base is one of the most important military installations in the United States.

This recent presentation to base personnel was painful to watch.

PLA personnel watch it on comedy movie night. |media|
🔻 C1: Can’t watch this to the end.
This is management coaching crap applied to war planing.
Sometime you wonder how US airplanes still succeed to take off.
⭕🤦‍♂️ This was one of the most comically painful segments of Gen. Wickert’s presentation.

There are currently THREE B-21 prototypes being tested at EAFB, and a single combat-capable squadron won’t exist until AT LEAST 2030, by which time it will likely have been rendered obsolete. |media|
🔻 C1: The most ‘tarded thing I heard was that it is supposed to deliver standoff strikes. Like what ? Any other bomber can do that for a fraction of the cost if it is going to be standoff anyways.
🔻 WS: The B-21, compared to the near-useless B-2, is slower, has less range, and less than half the weapons payload — with a price tag of ~$1 billion each.

IMO, none of the US “stealth” platforms (B-2, F-35, B-21, F-22) have a credible mission against a peer adversary.
🔻 C2: All visible to long wave radar.
🔻 C1: What I was meaning is that the use-case that it seems to be designed for is literally the same of a B-52. And those are leagues cheaper.
And yah, the current stealth planes only work on 70s era radars so lol.
🔻 C2: It’s fantastical and magical thinking.

UAVs and missiles are quickly making ALL manned combat aircraft obsolete.

The BRICS countries are cutting edge in unmanned modalities; the real wild card will be the arms race to build conventional tipped ICBMs and IRBMs in quantity in addition to fleets of Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS) glide vehicles.

There is no defense against them once they tip at apogee and off-load the munitions singly or MIRV’d.

ICBMs and IRBMs have been hypersonic since the 1950s.

Fire all the flag officers; they have stood by while the DoD spent trillions on becoming a shabby and arthritic 20th century force not fit to purpose to fight near peer and peer fights in the 21st century.
🔻 C3: The “…we cannot afford…” stuck with me.
🔻 C4: Didn’t the Chinese show a system to detect stealth aircraft with satellites and AI ?
🔻 WS: Long-range detection of “stealth” aircraft is rudimentary. Russia, China, and Iran can all do it. Targeting them is the trick. Russia and China can almost certainly target and kill them if they come within range. Iran is rapidly increasing their reach against stealth platforms.
🔻 C5: The only country really ready for war right now is Russia, whether you like it or not.

⭕🔻 Glenn Diesen: How will Russia respond?
– The international system is defined by security competition. If NATO enhances its security in the Baltic Sea by threatening Russia’s access to the Baltic Sea, then Russia will respond in a manner that enhances Russian security and diminishes NATO’s security. We never discuss Russia’s right to defend itself as this is attacked as treason
– The challenge under security competition is to enhance one’s own security without undermining the security of the counterpart. Yet, how can we possibly enhance our security if we are not allowed to even discuss Russian security concerns? This should be obvious, we have banned common sense with the use of smears and censorship
🔻 WS: How will Russia respond?

They will continue to transit the Baltic at will.

They will call the bluff.
🔻 C2: The decline of the Alliance becomes more and more visible – day after day.
🔻 C3: How is this even a question? NATO avoided going to war with Russia for 3 years, and now they will sink a Russian warship just because they can?

People would do well to remember that a Russian aircraft carrier crossed the English channel on its way to Syria, some odd years ago.
🔻 C4: If any NATO country fires on the Russian Navy in agreed international transit lanes, it has no article 5 protection. So unless NATO has ALREADY decided to start a war I can’t see which NATO country would want to break international law by doing that first…
