Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
Russian Navy ships and submarines have suddenly left their base at
Novorossiysk, in the Black Sea, en-masse. This is highly unusual and many fear that this is a change in tactics. The Western Press keeps trying to paint Russia as losing the war so, quite frankly, they can get more people to volunteer to join the military if they think they are on the winning side.
There is no question that the US and Russia are waging the most intense confrontation since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Our model on that confrontation aligned with our major war model showing that 2014 was the end of that period and the beginning of this new period as we head into World War III.
The hardliners are not happy in Russia and President Vladimir Putin is being pushed into a corner. Either he gets more aggressive, or they could be a coup. The hardliners are using nuclear threats and other escalations in what they know is now really a proxy war of the USA and NATO against Russia using Ukraine as the pawn they are willing to sacrifice.
Washington is wielding its own array of pressures to paint Putin as a loser. The good news is that, so far, both strategies have been fairly carefully calibrated. The bad news is that America and Russia are still on a collision course because the end goal is actually to conquer Russia.
Sweden has now instituted a draft. Poland is building its army of up to 250,000 men. All of this is based on the expectation that Ukraine can reduce the Russian army and that will make it a cakewalk to invade and drive tanks from Poland right into Moscow.
Sweden will boost military spending by around 40% over the next five years from 2016 and double the numbers conscripted into the armed forces as it looks to beef up its defence amid growing tensions with Russia post-2014. Meanwhile, France, Italy, Latvia and Lithuania scrapped conscription as they concluded that large-scale defence was no longer necessary before 2014, but now they have all reversed policies.
The Joe Biden administration pledged to defend “every inch” of Nato territory. That has complicated matters for Putin to interfere with Ukraine’s supply lines through Romania and Poland. The Western Press keeps pitching the same propaganda that Putin is spiralling toward defeat in Ukraine and may not survive that outcome politically. Yet I know that the hardliners are there and if Putin does not become more aggressive, they may indeed replace him by May and then holy hell will break loose.
Putin is warning Washington as well as Kyiv that attacks on those territories are tantamount to attacks on Russia itself. The Biden administration has opted not to listen to anything from Putin and only seeks war instructing Zelensky to sacrifice his own people and to reject any peace talks whatsoever. If the US hands Zelensky long-range missiles, he will use them to attack mainland Russia and that will begin World War III.
EVERY President throughout my entire life has always sought peace. The Biden Administration and NATO only talk about pushing war. NEVER have I ever witnessed such irresponsible leadership for this is really about Climate Change.

“EVERY President throughout my entire life has always sought peace.” Ummmmm…..I don’t think so!
Martin, not to plagiarize Del Spooner, but, you’ve got to be the dumbest smart person I know. Go listen to LC Doug MacGregor, please.
ha ha ha… Clown World Faggot is real!
“A Republican congressman is proposing to place a bust of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the House wing of the U.S. Capitol.
Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina filed a resolution earlier this week directing the Fine Arts Board of the U.S. House of Representatives to obtain a bust of Mr. Zelenskyy for display.
The board has authority over all works of art and historical objects displayed on the House wing of the U.S. Capitol and the associated office buildings.”
Flash-What is that pin on his lapel?
No idea…some freemason shit prolly’…
I took a closer look and it’s an American/SC flag with a US Congress pin beneath, yet somehow he’s still a Deep Shekel pwnd globalist fag.
The use of lapel pins in general is a red flag for satanic collusion for profit.
Think about it.
Doesn’t really MATTER what the pin seems to represent. It actually represents something far more profound.
It doesn’t matter what “the thing” is in reality, it only matter what I believe “the thing” to be.
Seems to be the prevailing wisdom of the masses these days.
5 Pieces of shit
McConnel has his hand up the puppets ass in that picture.
Winter time in Kiev ’bout to become simmer in hell.
“Letting Surovikin focus on the “Aerospace Forces” means that Russian air and space operations are likely to kick into overdrive. Until now, the Russian Air Force has played a minimal role in the battles during the last 11 months. Putting Gerasimov in charge of the Joint Group of Forces is a clear signal that the command task going forward is going to be more complex and comprehensive. ”
Fuck. Wait. You mean to tell me that Russian ships and subs are being deployed in waters that BORDER Russia itself?? In a sea that is essentially a Russian lake?? What’s this world coming to??!!!!
I mean … that would belike the USA!USA!USA! Navy having ships in The Great Lakes! That would rightfully trigger Canada into declaring war.
Damned Ruskies!
You may be missing the point with that over simplification.
It’s not interesting that Russian ships left a Russian port to sail into Russian waters.
What’s interesting is that nearly all of the Black Sea fleet’s submarines were in port at the same time for a prolonged period of time, then nearly the entire Black Sea fleet that was anchored in port (including the submarines) sailed at the same time. Both of these events are out of the ordinary.
Of course it could just be training. It could be that there was intel for an impeding attack on the port so they were clearing out. It could also mean something more or nothing at all.
The point being, it is something interesting and newsworthy if for no other reason than it is out of the ordinary and worth paying closer attention to.
It also could mean they were loading them all up with missiles for the next push against the Ukies.
Waves of cheap Iranian drones followed by waves of sub launched cruise missiles taking out what is left of the Ukie infrastructure.
The Ukies have nothing to threaten Russia’s subs.
It looks like they were loading the boomers for at least the next push against the Ukies. Putin is reportedly under a lot of pressure from hardliners in his government to take more aggressive measures.
But there could be more involved, too. Ukraine is simply a ‘pawn sacrifice’ for US and UK hardliners determined to destroy Russia. And Russia knows it. There now are more troops massed along the Russian borders with Europe than there were during World War II. How would we like it if Russian troops and guns were massed along the Canadian and Mexican borders with us? Would we consider action like that a deadly threat? Of course we would.
I wish we had national leadership that wanted peace instead of war. These damned DC war mongers may really believe they can take down the Russians in one go and USA soil will go unscathed. Stupid wishful thinking. The land mass of Russia today crosses Twelve Time Zones. Twelve. And Russian forces are not wearing flip flops in some desert outpost. If you doubt me, look up the word Stalingrad in the dictionary. There you will find accounts of Russian resistance to invaders.
Does any sane persons believe that “Allied’ forces could occupy that land mass? Lunacy. Does any sane person believe our Atlantic or Pacific fleets – starring those massive aircraft carriers also known as floating coffins – could withstand a Russian submarine fleet of at least 24 boats that we know of- most of them nuclear powered and nuclear armed? Jesus. We are controlled by madmen led by lunatics.
Pray for our country.
Dear President of Ukraine,
This song is for you.
Plan accordingly.
Most Sincerely,
Vladimir Putin
They found a perfect puppet with small man syndrome. Does he actually believe he is making decisions and leading his nation? My guess is he knows he is a pawn and being used by the US and NATO but he has dug his own grave by selling out so he has no choice now except to keep digging. He will lead his followers to hell and the US $ will still die.
Climate change my ass, this has nothing to do with climate change. This has to do with the $ and nothing else.
.
LOL And they ignore the greater threat within their own borders, the muslims, because russia russia russia
I was thinking if Sweden was smart they could solve their problem of having too many African migrants. If you get my drift.
I think the opposite will happen, the white males go to war and the migrants stay and procreate, washing out the white bloodlines. The migrants didn’t fight for their homeland they sure as hell won’t fight for their new homeland.
They luvs them problems… They’d rather get rid of the whities because…. nazis
Worldwide nuclear war would certainly bring about climate change and they claim to be against climate change. I guess the MICC has much more pull than the environazis ever thought about having.
There going after Red October people. Didn’t you see the Tom Clancy documentary.
