COUNTDOWN TO WAR WITH RUSSIA

I’m going to use this post to document the unfolding, historic and deeply disturbing events as regarding impending armed conflict between the US, Syria, Russia, perhaps Iran and God knows who else and the removal of the only vestiges of sanity on the part of the Trump administration.  The bright side is that John Bolton is not the new Sec. of State (would it make any difference?) .  The bad news is that John McCain is still alive.  Perhaps I will be proven wrong, I hope so.  My instincts tell me that Trump, when threatened, will respond as all immature, shallow bullies do, which is to strike back.  Full throttle, wide open.  Say hello to 1914.

Russia is sending more and more warships and submarines to the Mediterranean:
RFS 490 ‘Admiral Essen’, a Admiral Grigorovich Class frigate + RFS 868 ‘Pytlivyy’ Krivak II Class frigate + numerous Kilo class submarines.

=====

►Russian military personnel and advisers are present at numerous Syrian military sites and other facilities.
This clearly makes any possible US strike against Syrian targets
a direct attack against Russian personnel.
Such would then be responded to and countered according today’s Russian MoD statement.

Russia ‘will respond if US strikes Syria’

I voted for the candidate who promised no war with Russia. Obviously we just don’t understand his 500-dimensional chutes n’ladders strategy.

Seriously though, it literally could not have been better under Hillary.

Anyway. The best thing about war with Russia is that it might finally wipe out the “deep state” and allow us decent people far from DC to live under some better arrangement than now. Might.

Stop talking about, it was either him or her. Just STOP! Why does everybody always mention Hillary as the only alternative we had? There were a whole bunch of repukes on the slate, we just went for the pig with the most lipstick and thigh showing.

Oh, right, I forgot! We could have had Jill Stein, an actual commie with the spine of a jellyfish! OOH RA!!! Or, wait, we could have had McMullin, the magic mormon/spook who showed up out of nowhere, for no reason, with no platform!

We even could have had Bernie Sanders, another socialist, with the added bonus of no actual work experience, EVER! AWESOME!!! Oh, wait, no we couldn’t, Hillary totally cooked the Dem party to make sure that the MAJORITY VOTE GETTER would not win. Good job, Killary!

So, there’s all the far better (!) candidates we could have had! OOH RA!!!

What, did you fall off the shortbus?

I have a feeling if the U.S. goes to war with Russia, it will lose. Snowflakes and transgenders make good cannon fodder, but aren’t very good militarily.

I think the world is getting pretty sick of Russian ‘threats’. The fact of the matter is this is a rather poor and shabby country that leads the world only in its bellicose rhetoric and, for the time being, crude oil production. It is incapable of deploying sufficient combat power to engage the US in a conventional war in Syria as it does not have the sea lift or airpower to do so. The Israeli’s alone could wipe out any conceivable Russian expeditionary force Putin could send to the region so , unless Syria is worth a nuclear war ( and it isn’t) Putin would either have to back down or have his generals put him in a strait jacket and send him off to one of their psychiatric hospitals.

This would be my third mention of the possibility. I hope I don’t sound like a broken record. We are staring into the abyss of nuclear war. It isn’t winnable in the sense that JFK knew it wasn’t winnable but it’s winnable in the sense that the better half will survive. The better half is otherwise known as the 1%.

That’s the only half that matters. The technology exists to make the other 99% redundant. Deport the illegals? Don’t make the chickens laugh. They are planning to deport your booty to the dead zone.

Do you have any idea how crazy they are? It’s a big country and you ain’t in it, or soon won’t be in it. Dead men got no rights. Heck, if you got no life, you got no country. No country for dead men.

PS. the better vid would have been the one in Goodfellas where Ace began to eliminate all the guys who would have a claim to part of the heist. That’s us.

“The better half is otherwise known as the 1%.”

I think there is something fundamental about fractions and percentages that you fail to understand.

Yes, Anon, the 1 percent are the only ones allowed in the government bunkers, so they’ll survive. And the rich can build their own. The rest of us are screwed. I don’t see the U.S. gov building bunkers for the populations like the Russians have done.
I’m seriously considering moving to Russia.

Watch: Colonel Says Israel Is Dragging the United States Into World War III

The Jewish NeoCons are unspeakable evil and hellbent on drawing the West into another War for Israel and Zionist war criminals. These are the neo-Bolsheviks, descendants of the Bolsheviks who destroyed Russia once and who want to do it again. But this time it will not end well for Zionist America and Satanic Israel. If WWIII takes place, the US will meet its Waterloo and the America will become a desolate and contaminated landscape, much worse than Europe at the end of WWII.

Anyone remember the 1980 show with Orson Welles called “Nostradamus: the Man Who Saw Tomorrow?” There’s a section near the end about “Trumpet shakes with great discord” talking about an attack on NY. He goes on to say that Russia and the US will unite to defeat a menace in the Middle East.

This is it, fwd to 3:19
