NATO has a plan in place for rapid deployment of its forces in the scenario of a future Russian attack on Europe. It includes the development of “land corridors” which can be used to rush some 300,000 troops — mostly American soldiers — to front line positions in order to defend against a Russian invasion.
High-ranking British military sources described to the Telegraph that the plan entails troops landing at key European ports whereupon they would move east along pre-planned routes to counter potential Russian attacks.
Lt. Gen. Alexander Sollfrank, chief of NATO’s Joint Support and Enabling Command (JSEC), described to the UK publication, “Huge logistics bases, as we know them from Afghanistan and Iraq, are no longer possible because they will be attacked and destroyed very early on in a conflict situation.”
The logistics and troop transport corridors would originate in places like Greece, Italy, Turkey, The Netherlands, Norway – and the port of Rotterdam, a key northern European hub, is specifically named. Lines like the Germany-Poland railway are also mentioned in the report – all of which would theoretically allow rapid deployment of US forces to any NATO territory being threatened (based on Article 5 common defense).
Separate alarmist reports in UK media have been warning that the West should prepare for war with Russia at some point in the next two decades, connected with ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
For example, a prior March report in The Telegraph claimed that President Putin has a “paranoid obsession” with stoking conflict and provoking Western allies.
“Now that Russian President Vladimir Putin has secured his historic fifth term in office, it is patently clear that he will devote his next six-year spell at the Kremlin to pursuing his paranoid obsession of confronting the West,” that prior stated.
As for the Telegraph’s latest Tuesday revelation of the NATO land corridors — with the somewhat loud and sensationalist headline of “Nato land corridors could rush US troops to front line in event of European war” — the reality is that big picture contingency plans like this have been on US and NATO planners’ shelves since the Cold War.
But without doubt they are getting dusted off amid the continued escalation of the Ukraine proxy war…
BREAKING: NATO now planning to get US troops to the front-line to fight RUSSIA..
What are they thinking?
NATO has disclosed its preparations to deploy American troops to the European frontlines in the event of a full-scale conflict with Russia.

According to some of the further planning details laid out by The Telegraph and its military sources:
If Nato forces entering from the Netherlands are hit by Russian bombardment, or northern European ports destroyed, the alliance is set to shift focus to ports in Italy, Greece and Turkey. From Italian ports, US troops could be carried via land through Slovenia, Croatia to Hungary, which shares a border with Ukraine.
Similar plans exist to transport forces from Turkish and Greek ports through Bulgaria and Romania to reach the alliance’s eastern flank. Plans are also being drawn up to transport troops via ports in the Balkans, as well as through Norway, Sweden and Finland.
Lt Gen Sollfrank was further quoted as saying, “Ukraine suffers very much from these Russian long-range missile attacks on the logistic systems” – underscoring the importance of troop movements which would be out of reach of Russian systems.
The report includes visuals tracking ‘land corridors’ for Western troops en route to confront Russian forces in a future scenario…
In the wake of the Telegraph report some pundits are saying this means WW3 is “starting now”… and while indeed at this point the world could already be witnessing the beginning phases (especially when historians look back), there’s yet some escalatory steps remaining before missiles start flying over Europe. Hopefully saner minds prevail, even if at the last minute (though we don’t have a lot of faith in this).

Why on earth would you publish plans and maps for troop movements if you are seriously considering armed conflict with Russia? War is not a powerpoint deck.
Showing Russia where to send the tactical nukes… Chip
But in a war, Russia wouldn’t dare bomb our troops…Biden told me so!
looks more like someone is playing Axis and Allies or the game Risk– shoulda attacked Kamchatka from Alaska or use the slow move and have the Aussies sneak up from Siam to conquer China and then move on to Irkutsk and Yakutsk
Everyone knows the Russians are too stupid to understand diagrams with arrows or plans written in English. Duh.
Nothing new here that everyone nation in and out of NATO doesn’t already know. This is for just ramping up the phycological stress for Normie Six Pack and Winnie Wine Mom…be afraid…very afraid.
so that the politicians get more pussy LOL
This is all a mis-direction to confuse our Russian enemies of Mockracy.
Quietly our illustrious faggot forces of freedumb are building dozens of Gaza-style 330 million dollar piers right under the ebil Russians nose in Poland.
Correct…you have just illustrated the abject stupidity of our leadership. The ringmasters at this clown show are either inept or traitors…probably both.
They’re are all inept delusional narcsissists who believe their own hype.
War pron–they just get off showing everyone how sexy they think war is. Booyah!
They aren’t going to be the ones doing the dying.
Everyone with a map can figure it out anyway. How else could it be done? Yikes. Ships travel to ports! Stuff is transported by rail or road!
The Russians would never think to take out ports, staging areas, rail heads, roads, bridges, etc, totally beyond their comprehesion
And yet they didn’t do it in Ukraine
might tell you something about this ‘conflict’
It’s ok.
They already warned Russia:
I say to the young people of this country to look at the behavior of the politicians and carefully weigh if you want to voluntarily enslave yourself to a government run by tyrants.How do these people become gazillionaires of a Congressmans salary and then feel free to provoke our enemies?
Looking at you Michael McCaul (R)(TX).
Might end up recruiting the way it is done now in Ukraine.
And just how are American troops and equipment going to get to Europe? Are they going to use ships or aircraft? You don’t think the Russian Naval Fleet won’t be out there attempting to intercepting them as there are approximately 3000 miles of ocean between the US and the closest European ports of entry? We’ve all provided our plans to the Russians. Just like Defense Secretary Robert McNamara broadcasting to the world what and how we were going to attack North Vietnam. The North Vietnamese knew exactly what our aerial battle plans were and shot down dozens of American aircraft as they entered their airspace.
The stupid is strong out there Luke.
And DC remains a wretched hive…..
BREAKING! Oh is it? Every time I start to appreciate a little bit of commentary from the professional beltway warrior class, I end up cringing back into my bunker of memes. Its more truthy.
I didn’t finish the Army War College correspondents’ certificate in strategeries communications, but I can tell you those arrows all point to places that have to be rubblized and rid of White Christians if Our Democracy is to be saved.
So that super technical war plan looks legit to me.
Not pictured, however, includes the armada of Carnival Cruise ships carrying all those rainbow warriors across the Atlantic under the cover of Sysco food service buffets and sweaty after hours discotech romps brough to you by the Swift-Kelce USO Troupe.
And the spirit airlines ferries ferrying the ferocious fighting ferries of the first faggot brigade to spread their cheeks of democracy all over the European Theater Company in the gay adaptation of The Shirtless Mustache Man Rides a Pale Horse.
And the Amazon Global Logistics moving all of the important computer parts from China to Poland because nothing says war footing like polish warehouses full of Taiwanese chips being glued into war machines by Mexican dreamers working for paperwork americanism and all the chilimac MREs and streaming porn they can consume.
You have to go all the way into the appendix to see the details. War is complicated. Thats why we have “X” formerly known as Twitter to explain it to us in urgent terms we can fear.
That was pretty damn close to being a masterpiece.
I’d save that rant if I were you.
AI can write rants?
AI can vote down?
Asking for amusement
Thanks HF. I am really bad at collecting my spent brass for reloading.
Been especially riled up lately with some misfortunes of the collapse visiting my plot and some occasion to see family and all the bittersweet reminders of how the last forever wars left my two brothers with lifelong scars that continue to plague all of us while the pork party goes on in the bubbles and bureaucracies of clownworld. A heavy heart needs some levity. Thats about all I can spare these days.
You are one of my favorites on here, DV.
“to spread their cheeks of democracy”.
Classic.
“…but I can tell you those arrows all point to places that have to be rubblized and rid of White Christians if Our Democracy is to be saved.”
What else should we expect from the Jews running Bidens cabinet?
If the US//NATO military doctrine is still to do a massive build up just over the border, like they did just before Desert Storm, and then invade I could see the Russians letting them do it, and then take y’all out with a barrage of tactical nuclear weapons.
I bet Ivan already has so many Stalin Organs prepositioned with simple inexpensive 122mm rockets to light that stuff up that they won’t need any nukes. Idiots seem to ignore this is their third or fourth rodeo in just over 200 years.
They also seem to ignore that 80 years ago the Germans were hitting allied ports with the early ICBM of that era. The Russian SCUDs look very similar and they have thousands of them sitting around gathering dust. If Russia just decided to first unload all their antiques on NATO to clear the decks it would be shock and awe like our people have likely never seen outside of WW1 in the trenches where more artillery would be fired in 90 minutes than the total of the US Civil War.
More likely, Russian and maybe Chinese hypersonic missiles…It’s a more efficient way to wipe out the US military…
You mean like they have the Ukrainian army?
I hope the Biden administration has 300,000 body bags available and ready to go.
I do wonder how those helicopter moms will react to their sons and daughers coming home in body bags?
“I Feel Like I’m Fixin’ To Die Rag”
Well, come on all of you, big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
He’s got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in
VietnamUkraine-namSo put down your books and pick up a gun
We’re gonna have a whole lotta fun
Well, come on generals, let’s move fast
Your big chance has come at last
Now you can go out and get those reds
‘Cause the only good
commieRussian is the one that’s deadAnd you know that peace can only be won
When we’ve blown ’em all to kingdom come
Come on mothers throughout the land
Pack your boys off to
VietnamUkraine-namCome on fathers, and don’t hesitate
To send your sons off before it’s too late
And you can be the first ones in your block
To have your boy come home in a box
Country Joe is still performing! But nukes may not leave enough for a body bag, or anyone to do the bagging…”So it’s 1,2,3, what are we fighting for..don’t ask me cuz I don’t give a damn, next stop is the Ukraine, mam….”
For my entire enlistment we trained for a Soviet invasion of Europe through the Fulda Gap. I can still ID every single piece of of armor just by outline almost 40 years later. They told us that the Division had an estimated lifespan of 18 hours from the time we jumped until 60 Soviet Armored Divisions rolled over us. We believed it.
A few years later the Soviet Union collapsed in a week or so and we discovered that none of that was true. I remember thinking that either our entire Intelligence system was completely worthless and all that time, effort and money was for nothing, or that it was an intentional lie told to the American public in order to steal all that time, effort and money because we were too stupid to and trusting to know better.
Figuring that out didn’t change anything, but it let me know who to never trust again about anything and it’s these guys. I think almost every single thing that they say is a lie. I think the lies are the real purpose of the Intelligence apparatus, the military industrial complex and the American political establishment. I don’t think Russia is the enemy, they’re just another arm of the global totalitarian complex and we’re the real enemy. And I think that the story about the Soviet threat was some kind of projection, that what they actually fear are the people waking up. That 18 hour complete and total annihilation narrative is their greatest fear and it isn’t T-72’s and BRDM’s, it’s angry people suddenly casting off their chains and coming for them.
This time it will be woke, LGBTQ+, DEI NATO collapsing in a week or so.
If it does it’s only because they’ll have pulled the funding out and you can bet they’ll be running whatever takes its place.
I suspect that’s how the Soviet system operated too. We needed an enemy so the money guys kept it afloat while they stole everything that wasn’t welded to the floor. Remember who wound up running all the former Soviet states after the fall?
Nothing will take it’s place…Europe is going bankrupt, so NATO will be just us….with the troops paid in funny money…
Another reason to vote for Trump.
He’s in yer head, dude
Imperial Russia fell because the soldiers and sailors turned against the ruling class because of continual wars.
The Soviet system fell because mother’s of dead soldiers turned against the Soviet governments unwinnable war in Afghanistan. When the protests started the tanks were brought in but the soldiers refused to fire on the people. When officers got on the tanks and ordered the soldiers to fire on the people they shot the officer. Both regimes was brought down by the soldiers and sailors, not a foreign enemy.
Is the US there yet? No. Will it be if soldiers start coming home in body bags or are vaporized so even their remains can’t be returned? We will have to wait and see.
The only way a totalitarian gov’t can survive is if it is willing to kill its own people. At this point, I still believe (hope) that if push comes to shove our military won’t kill average citizens. That is why techno-totalitarianism is so frightening. It allows the gov’ to pick us off one at a time in the middle of the night, without having to fire into a crowd of thousands.
We need a national general strike on July 11th.
>>>if push comes to shove our military won’t kill average citizens.
True enough a several decades back. Not so true now, IMHO.
That’s ridiculous. You know who mourned communism the most, in Russia? The grandmas.
Collapsed because it was BLED/SUCKED DRY.
AND?
The People refused to play. Anymore.
lol you think the Russian Revolution was actually Russian.
I don’t give the modern versions of the Rainbow and 69th Divisions even a day before they totally collapse.
So far a nice story.
But then you went off the deep end and projected that everything was a lie, and nukes, viruses, moon landings, and maybe even the moon don’t exist.
Why should anyone care what I think about anything?
I write for myself, so I can figure out what I think is real and what is false. You’re free to ride along or hop out at the next exit, no charge.
And while you might not see the connection, I learned to my satisfaction a very long time ago that those who are comfortable with lies do not have the ability to discern the difference between what is true and what is false.
YMMV.
ha ha ha Dribble Dick ain’t too bright. He still thinks he doesn’t need a tribe. He’ll believe that right up until and perhaps even after the Russians haul his stupid cowardly ass off to the gulag just for being born an American….after the revenge beatings, of course…. and o’ how his ass will burn in the camps…makes me smile actually.
The retard projects his Soviets by Hollywood “knowledge” unto today’s Russians…
It’s OK brah, if you tribe up harder, the armed to the teeth Christian Americans will save your ass from tyranny!
I’m living for the day he is betrayed by his “tribe” and strung up as a sacrifice to TPTB. That would make the end of the world worth it.
ha ha ha fags of a feather fly together. My demise – a nobody of no import- for you would make the ” end of the world world worth it” . Well that just sad and pathetic. You should seek some psychiatric help, bruh…no joke.
The state of Christian America is not relevant to the fact that you are not Russian and never will be. But, you that special boi who all the Russian peasantd admire and love….ha ha ha.
What about the state of Christian Russia, is that relevant?
Which part of Russia is christian?
The one that built 30,000 new Orthodox churches, over the last 20 years?
Funny, that 30k numbers been bouncing around for many years. Magic numbers, I guess.
How about the 8k mosques built in the last 20 years?
Unless you’re going to claim nearly 2000 people are crowding in each of those churches, than either the vast majority of them don’t go to church, or the number built is too low to matter.
If you weren’t so ignorant, you could easily find
…and that just Moscow region, over 10 years.
yeah, capitol regions always get the bux
if you weren’t so pig-ignorant, you’d realize that ten or fifty times the numbers in the bible belt don’t actually mean jack shit, but at least no one would pretend russia is that ‘christian’
The bible belt will save the US! 😂 🤣
(But Russia is not Christian!)
Good luck with that stance!! You’re gonna need it.
the armed to the teeth Christian Americans will save your ass from tyranny!
Yet they remain oddly inactive in trying to save any asses from the tranny.
Lol
It’s fun watching you two argue about how you’re both going to get betrayed by your christian ‘brethren’.
Losing a war in Ukraine doesn’t mean Russia will invade and occupy the US.That is as stupid as thinking the US could invade and occupy Russia. That is why these conflicts are fought in proxy countries.
War has no boundaries or rules, dumbass. And, the vengeful seek vengeance. Even a low IQ fool knows this, so where does that place you?
Except when the proxy country becomes the waging country. That’s how Nukes come out of silos.
Flash and Scrotumizer, cut from the same cloth of stupid mendacity.
Jealous no one’s showing you any love, special boi?
So, HSF, since when did you believe to “have the ability to discern the difference between what is true and what is false”? 🤣
Well, for starters anything that occurs in the Natural world absent human involvement qualifies as the truth.
It would big a big help for your own discernment if you spent some time outdoors, but it’s probably difficult being in your line of work.
Go from there.
That which conforms to the natural world is truthful, that which contradicts it is not. That works for me.
GLWT
It would big a big help for your own discernment if you spent some time in a church, but it’s probably difficult learning humbleness in old age.
But only with it would you be able to understand that your “ability to discern the difference between what is true and what is false” will always be severely limited.
Edit: spent some time two days ago swimming in a local pond that already got to 66F, with dragonflies buzzing around me, a cuckoo singing, and no mosquitos (around there) so far. The water lilies aren’t blooming yet, it’s even more fun to swim around those.
All the churches around here have rainbow flags flying out front. My sanctuary is outdoors.
Between the two I think God prefers it as well.
See if there is an Orthodox church near you.
I think God doesn’t prefer ‘lone wolf’ approaches.
A man who knows the mind of God.
At last I am humbled.
Cool.
HSF: “Between the two I think God prefers it as well.”
m: “I think God doesn’t prefer ‘lone wolf’ approaches.”
Result:
HSF: “A man who knows the mind of God.”
Well, once a bullshitter, always a bullshitter.
I was speaking about truth, you were proselytizing.
You suggested I need church, I said I felt more at home with the Creator in his creation. Since He created it it makes sense- using logic of course, another gift of the Creator- to assume He would be present in it. I choose not to seek God in a place that advocates explicitly those behaviors that are sinful.
No man knows the mind of God, so it seems logical to look at Creation as a barometer of truth, not man.
And this is where you and I walk different paths.
Sure, just write a diatribe and ignore my ‘lone wolf’ point completely.
It’s sad that you only have churches flying the rainbow flag around you. But it is your choice if the story ends there.
Everything else from you is just avoidance of the truth.
Isaiah 55:8 “For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.”
Once a stupid ahole always a m. Better get to know God before the large scale barbeque begins
See you in my Orthodox church next Sunday then.
lol. Touché. It really is amazing, isn’t it? Like Job’s friends. With friends like that….
Roman’s 2:14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law.
Proverbs 6:6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
I see two people with black eyes.
Perhaps you posted the wrong video.
My list of people here that have their head screwed on right is becoming shorter and shorter, HSF is one I think is able to understand natural from unnatural and truth from fake/false.
It would big a big help for your own discernment if you spent some time in a church, but it’s probably difficult learning humbleness in old age.
So this new preaching “Jesus Saves” tactic where you attack your protege…. has this ever won you any converts?
Asking for amusement.
How do you convert someone who believes he is a Christian, but behaves in non-Christian ways all the time?
Asking for amusement.
How do you convert someone who believes he is a Christian, but behaves in non-Christian ways all the time?
Why would I want to convert anyone?
I am actually starting to cheer the elites.
The right and the left are all clueless retards.
I am just two shakes away from sending thank you cards to Fauci, Gates, Trump etc, for running a brilliant theatrical event which convinced billions of mindless drooling consumers to off themselves.
Surely the number includes a billion christos who were all apparently unaware of psalm 246:3.
Seriously.
Most people aren’t even happy.
They eek out miserable existences while fighting,yelling, cheating, assaulting and murdering each other.
They live out their shallow hand to mouth myopic existences flittering from one bad decision to another like some Caligulonian butterfly.
My guess?
Over 6 billion people are confirmed assholes via their electronic communications monitoring.
These are already in process of being, released from their suffering by removing their capacity to go forward into the future.
Making them choose poorly?
Edward Bernays would be proud.
Humanity is not worthy to stand in the presence of the secret king.
Thanks secret king.
The magic mushroom sales are spiking, Flash. Soon, we will no longer understand the gibberish.
It would big a big help for your own discernment if you spent some time in a church, but it’s probably difficult learning humbleness in old age.
Really? Why?
What do people actually learn at church?
That other people sort of believe a little like you?
You learn to worship God and that there is something greater than your overly inflated ego?
Well there are a few churches where that is the way, it is NOT common. The problem in today’s churches is the feminization of religion. It starts with the congregation having a competition to see who is the best Christian, who can claim the most points, who wears the nicest clothes. It ends with one fifth of your congregation leaving over gay priests and celebrating trans-ing of children.
Years ago, my dad, who between military and civilian had over 30 years government service told me that the US government lies in two out of three circumstances. It lies when it’s to its advantage, it lies when it’s neither advantageous to do so or not, just to confuse and obfuscate. And it tells the truth when it is advantageous to do so.
Why limit yourself to the “natural” world?
If it “happened” ANYWHERE, then by your standards, it’s “truth”.
When I say the natural world I mean not the world as interpreted by man, or manifested.
Some say that the Moon landing “happened” where I would suggest that you’ve been told it did by men.
Im not sure why this is so complicated I’m not being very Byzantine in my explanations. It seems pretty obvious.
So if you didn’t see it, you find it impossible to believe it happened.
Not exactly the enlightened attitude I’ve come to expect from you. The implications are staggering to anyone caring to think about it for more than a minute.
If I must rely on the testimony of a liar I don’t believe it.
I’ve said as much a hundred times, not sure how you keep forgettin’.
Well, for starters anything that occurs in the Natural world absent human involvement qualifies as the truth.
That is exactly what I finally did.
Now I never have to bow my head to another man’s stories again.
Learning by observing the natural cycles has for me, perfected my understanding of the universe.
My moral code, matches the moral code of creation.
Any stories by men?
Instructive, but none are worthy of my sacred service.
All religions may contain truths, but all religious truths have been swallowed by traditions and belief in the allegory rather than living the lessons.
That last sentence sounds biblical.
Can you prove any of it, dribble dick?
Axe an AI
Has a virus even been photographed ?
Yes, viruses have been photographed.
The Development of Imaging Viruses: Viruses are microscopic infectious agents that cannot be seen by the naked eye. The electron microscope, invented in 1933 by Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll, revolutionized the field of virology by enabling scientists to capture images of viruses and other small objects that were previously invisible. The electron microscope allowed for increasingly better resolution images to be taken, leading to significant advancements in understanding viruses.
Capturing the First Virus on Film: The tobacco mosaic virus was the first virus captured on film using early electron microscopes by Helmut Ruska, a doctor and biologist who utilized his brother Ernst Ruska’s invention. This breakthrough marked the beginning of visualizing viruses at a scale never seen before.
In conclusion, viruses have indeed been photographed, thanks to advancements in imaging technology like electron microscopes and cryo-electron microscopes that allow scientists to visualize these tiny infectious agents with remarkable clarity.
Can you show an actual photograph of a virus, and not a rendering?
Answer:
Unfortunately, I cannot provide an actual photograph of a virus as requested. Viruses are microscopic entities that cannot be captured in a photograph using conventional photography techniques.
Axed a different AI.
Apparently, there’s zero photographical evidence of a virus ever captured ,even though it would seem possible to connect a camera to a electron microscope, but so far it has never happened. Yet, we are to believe something so small as to be beyond having an image captured via photographed, can in fact have genes of another virus spliced into it effectively making it more infectious to humankind. It could happen.
Can you provide an actual photograph of a virus, and not a rendering?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide a photograph of a virus as they are too small to be captured by a camera. Viruses are incredibly tiny, ranging from 20-400 nanometers in size, and are typically only visible under an electron microscope.
The images you may have seen of viruses are actually renderings or illustrations created using computer software or artistic representations. These renderings are often used to help visualize the structure and appearance of viruses, but they are not actual photographs.
The search results provided do not contain any actual photographs of viruses, but rather articles and information about the importance of high-resolution images of viruses in research and development of vaccines and cures.
I hope this information is helpful in understanding the limitations of capturing images of viruses.
It always was and will be about forcing the American taxpayers to buy overpriced military hardware. Nothing ever changes for the war profiteers or their captured servants who masquerade as representatives of we the people. I’m sure the DOD paid in advance and got paid, too.
Almost $2 billion has been additionally allocated for the HIMARS production
Lockheed Martin was awarded a huge contract to manufacture additional HIMARS systems.
The U.S. Department of Defense announced that it was allocating $1.92 billion to the company that manufactures these systems.
The new funding is provided under the existing contract W31P4Q-24-D-0019.
All M142 HIMARS rocket systems within this contract are to be delivered by May 2028.
Nevertheless, the terms of the agreement may be supplemented by new orders.
https://mil.in.ua/en/news/almost-2-billion-has-been-additionally-allocated-for-the-himars-production/
It took a lot of fear mongering in the 50s through the 90s to keep the military industrial complex going. President Carter knew it was a scam on the American people and tried to only slow it down. He was shown the door and Reagan was brought in to infuse fear of the Soviets and fresh cash into the defense contractors. Soviet Union collapsed we were going to get a Peace dividend but then we had to go save Kuwait, then 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, now Russia again. The MIC is now institutionalized. Most Americans don’t even question the money that goes into it now.
Even though those darn Ruskies have completely degraded the accuracy* of the HIMARS by jamming the GPS signals. It doesn’t work but we HAVE to spend billions on SOMETHING!
*The Uke’s want to use them in cross border actions against unprotected civilians. (Don’t that make you proud America.)
Why the hell do we need all this gee whiz stuff anyway? A little over 50 years ago, my cousin, who was an artillery survey guy with the US Army in Germany got a commendation for plotting a solution resulting in a direct hit on a pickup truck at 22 miles with a 155mm cannon. The 155mm base bleed projectiles they have developed since will push out a few miles beyond that.
Since they have to know where the target is with the 100 year old artillery AND the BIG DOLLAR gee whiz electronic, radar guided satcom bullshit that can be jammed, why in the name of all that is right and holy do we waste so much and risk so much with this STUPID, unnecessary “guided” crap? (Once again, please imagine Sam Kinison screaming “Oh! Oh! Oh!”)
Where they just really stupid, or was it a big loe.to.keep the MIC warfare funding? Yes to both.
Now the pundits are telling us that the new Russian army could do the same thing even though they are still trying to fight their way out of the Donbas after 2 1/2 years.
I agree completely, but on the second paragraph, I believe it is the latter.
Why can’t people wake up to what is around them, like you did, HSF? So very sad, frustrating and tiring.
Don’t worry, be happy, it’s Pride Month… s/ Chip
Chip, I am officially reporting that Bounty paper towels have started their pride month BJ , time to boycott Bounty paper towels.
Satan needs his mass human sacrifice of millions to bring the beast (Antichrist) to the Earth and to start the beast system. He is pushing his tools, the fools in power, to do everything they can to start WW3. When this thing finally starts, DO NOT allow these satanic fools to draft your sons. It is better to be outlaws than to go die for satan.
Clown world.
As we all know, the Russians have no way of taking out Rotterdam harbor.
Looks like Nato along with Austin and Blinken are going to use the time tested Joel Harris “tar baby” approach. Uncle Remus’s dialect would be hard to translate into Russian so it is an effective code.
$517,000,000,000 in Unrealized Losses Hit US Banking System, FDIC Says 63 Lenders on Brink of Insolvency
Wanna bet it’s way more than that?
What do TPTB do when the financial situation is out of control?
That’s an interesting turn of phrase, unrealized losses.
Reminds me of the industry term for shoplifting, shrinkage.
It’s all just another way of saying stolen.
For you and I the losses are realized when we are wiped out or the Sheriff padlocks the doors and the court sells off your assets.
Each of these Too Big To Fail schemes which seem to come around more and more regularly has a new twist. Sub Prime lending, dot bomb, legalizing credit default swaps which are a scam within a scam. I am sure there are some I missed as well. This time around the unseen iceberg is Private Banking. No FDIC but do you doubt one of the usual suspects will tell us we have to save these asshole’s personal wealth for Mom and Apple Pie?
The RINOs will line up to give us a huge fucking again.
Most likely 10 times the 517 billion.
It is more IMO, that does not counting the trillions in derivatives based on the admittedly worthless “assets” behind the “unrealized” losses.
No one voted for this…….
And “Joe Biden” sez it’s “US Boots on the Ground” in Taiwan. What if Xi states he’ll send boots on the ground to protect Chinatown from Urban Youths in NYC?
Every ethnic Chinese gang on the west coast is run by an actual PLA officer.
90% of all mafias are run by jews
Translation: NATO has set up a conveyor line to the meat processor.
Why doesn’t the US DOD just force all American Military personal get a deadly disabling vaccine to render the majority of the force sick and dying and then start a war with Russia and China?
oh right already done , Pilots cardiovascular systems fucked and a myriad of cancers , blood clots and early dementia and sudden deaths of young people in their prime years
WELL DONE LEFTIST ASSHOLES
Now you wonder why educated patriotic men and women are not enlisting ?
It would be hilarious if it were not so pathetic !
The reason these armchair warhawks want a war is to attempt to cover up how fucked up everything is in what was The United States Of America
Industry , education , infrastructure and economy all in total destruction or decline with no end in sight other than ROCK BOTTOM
Report Details US Troop ‘Land Corridors’ In Event Of European Ground War With RussiaReport Details Prime Target Locations For Russia To Zero In Their Weapons In Event Of European Ground War With Russia
Fixed It.
What makes NATO think Hungary will allow them to cross their territory to wage war with Russia? Maybe they have some plans for Hungary that only they are privy too.
Why do American men have to die in defense of Europe and their tawny pets from south of the Mediterranean? Let them defend themselves. Their population is at least triple ours.
smoke and mirrors anyone? If they transport via rail, then the rails will be shut down. If they use aircraft the runways will disappear. We have never fought a war without owning the skies before, it will be the game changer.
Revelations notes a 200 million army. When written this was more than the world population, now with China and India, it is within easy reach. Thus I would bet China and possibly India Join Russia, then how long do we think Nato would last?
Why does it seem like they are poking a bear for a nuclear exchange….makes sense only if they want to wipe white countries off the map. Why would they need to do that…because it is easier to take over all the POC’s than it is to conquer the whites… If you want to take over the world, eliminate the ones who would rise up against you.
Does losing the petrodollar mean that Lispy Graham can’t stop publicly gobbling on Binyamin Mileikowsky’s cock and humiliating the American people in the process ?
Axing for a friend.
I would not make a sandwich for Graham.
I have no message of salvation for a pig feeding at the trough of theft.
Anybody blogging here with utter nonsense based on what the MSM says (Telegraph) should be verboten. This article is so full of lies about the causes of Ukraine war is not worth an argument.
Sorry The Telegraph, it’s just the opposite!!! The West has a paranoid obsession with starting a war with and provoking Russia. Amazing how you can get it so wrong.
Your valued Land Passage for American Troops won’t matter if The Wests Capitols are Nuked!!! How can The West’s Leaders be so devoid of common sense,????
Typical stupid military planners. They are fighting last centuries war that will not happen. SMH.
What people should be asking is why do they listen MacG when he knows better than to pretend this is shocking news.
I was a Plans and Programs Officer in the 70s and we kept Classified Plans in a Top Secret Safe, not turn them over to the public. We would not get another ass whipping like Vietnam, Somalia, Libya, Afghanistan, Ukraine etc if the US ZOG was not fomenting a NATO war with Russia.
