In the world of tracking geopolitical maneuvers closely, particularly as it relates to military intervention, it becomes critical at a certain point to get more deliberate.
Two fronts seem like they are about to open on the geopolitical stage. The first in Yemen, the second in Moldova. We can watch them unfold together if we begin from the same baseline.
Against the background of the Israeli-Gaza war against Hamas terrorists, the U.S. military is about to begin a large-scale operation in the Red Sea under the auspices of combating Houthi rebels and terrorist attacks. Against the background of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, we can also anticipate NATO opening a new front using Moldova.
♦ YEMEN – As the U.S. and “coalition partners” begin military engagement against the Houthi rebels, no one in Western media will draw contrast to the State Dept earlier this year sending another $444 million via USAID (a CIA front group) to Yemen. Factually, the U.S. has spent $5.4 billion, yes that’s with a “b”, in Yemen through the State Dept {link}.
We are now going to begin military operations against elements within Yemen as part of something called “Operation Prosperity Guardian,” a new international effort deal with Houthi threats.” As this announcement is made, likely tomorrow, ask yourself what we spent $5.4 billion to achieve in Yemen, if we are now forced to use the U.S. military.
WASHINGTON – Top Biden administration officials are actively weighing options to strike back at Houthis in Yemen after the Iran-backed group launched new attacks on naval and commercial ships in the Red Sea on Saturday, according to two U.S. officials.
The Pentagon has in recent days moved the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group from the Persian Gulf into the Gulf of Aden, off the coast of Yemen, to support a potential U.S. response to attacks, said one of the officials, both of whom were granted anonymity to speak about sensitive plans. The military has also provided options to commanders to strike the Houthis, the official said.
The Biden administration has been reluctant to respond militarily against the Houthi attacks on commercial shipping in recent weeks for fear of provoking Iran, which backs Hamas and Hezbollah in Yemen as well as the Houthis. Previously, the Pentagon had recommended the administration not do so.
But a significant uptick in attacks in recent days could potentially lead top U.S. national security officials to change their calculus.
The destroyer USS Carney, operating in the Red Sea, shot down 14 one-way attack drones launched from Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen early Saturday morning. Meanwhile, a British destroyer, the HMS Diamond, which had recently arrived in the region to help protect commercial shipping, also shot down a Houthi drone. (read more)
Given the scale of dedicated U.S. naval and air military resources in the region, direct engagement with Yemeni “terrorists” is all but certain. This will expand the overall conflict zone and pull the U.S. into ancillary combat missions.
Iran and the various proxies will likely not respond in Yemen, but U.S. military personnel deployed in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq will likely come under fire. Chairman Xi will smile from Beijing.
♦ MOLDOVA – Watch this landscape closely.
Ukraine is losing badly, and U.S. led NATO efforts need to change the dynamic. We can anticipate Moldova playing a key role in what comes next.
Watch out for the CIA, DoS, influence over Western NATO allies to create a battlefront against Russia using Moldova.
The basic premise would be for some kind of kinetic action to take place on the Moldova/Ukraine -v- Russia conflict zone (Odessa region), likely created by organized CIA operations, that will then provide the predicate for a second and more direct NATO front against Russia to take the pressure away from direct engagement in Ukraine.
Again, USAID operations (non-pretending, the CIA) have been all over Moldova for the past several months. Something is going to trigger there, and Vladimir Putin can also see it, see the Lavrov statement from November 30.
WASHINGTON – The Biden administration plans to announce one more package of military aid to Ukraine this month, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters on Monday. But after that, funding for Ukraine will dry up, he said.
“When that one is done … we will have no more replenishment authority available to us. And we’re going to need Congress to act without delay,” Kirby said.
The Pentagon still has $4.4 billion in presidential drawdown authority to provide weapons to Ukraine directly from Defense Department inventory, according to Pentagon spokesperson Lt. Col. Garron Garn. But the weapons DOD can transfer to Ukraine are limited by the necessary funding to replenish U.S. stockpiles, and that’s what is almost gone. (more)
The American public is growing tired of seeing billions spent on Ukraine, and the administration is having a difficult time maintaining support. Throughout the EU, this is also the consensus opinion of the ordinary European.
Those who control the Biden war machine need to change the dynamic. They need a new proxy front to justify conflict with Russia. WATCH Moldova!

ask yourself what we spent $5.4 billion
It was to arm and train a paper enemy.
Like Iraq.
Or Japan.
The French have a word for it: blanchisserie.
Done That.
The president of Moldova is Maia Sandu – another europeon who is part of the globalist project in all the usual ways. She’ll probably volunteer Moldova to be the US’ next victim to throw up against Russia so that – with fewer living people – they’ll have a smaller carbon footprint.
Moldova is not in NATO.
You just know this dick nosed bitch ain’t making no sammichs’.
Not for a guy whose dick is shorter than her nose, she ain’t.
The mighty Imperial U.S. military machine unleashed on another third world country…100% chance of billions more being spent with 50-50 odds on winning.
100% odds on people who never consented to play war dying by the mass grave load.
50-50 seems a bit optimistic.
Russia isn’t rolling over Europe.
Kind of blows the “they want to take over the world” nonsense right outta da water!
BRICS are letting FUSA die by 1000’s of self-inflicted paper cuts. Only the blind cannot see that they are using the World’s Police Force and the gift of politician who get lobbying $ from defense corporations to bankrupt FUSA. There isn’t a single conflict that FUSA can’t be goaded into getting involved with.
For example, FUSA is going to borrow billions from China to spend arming Taiwan against Chinese invasion. China doesn’t have to invade. Just rattle their Sabre and another money drop will happen courtesy of $ borrowed from China. Eventually the well runs dry, inflation gets real, and FUSA collapses under its own weight.
Per Glubb’s Fate of Empires we are right on schedule.
No foe is worthy of Uncle Schlomo’s attention unless properly trained and funded by Uncle Schlomo. The shekels must flow.
Moldova looks land locked. Would be a shame to start something with Russia , only to have Russia liberate Odessa in the near future. Would be like Russia owning the Panama Canal and charging tolls for the rest of eternity.
15 more military bases in Finland. Russia is not happy about that. So I guess all of the 6000 a day illegals flooding in will be sent to the front? We don’t have the manpower to fight all these wars. Maybe the Biden admin wants the regular military to be decimated so they can justify…I don’t know. I’m just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks.
If the US or NATO get involved in Ukraine, they will get the shit kicked out of them so bad, it will make Lebanon look like a birthday party. Personally, I would like to see it…
