Day 36 of the Russian SMO in the Ukraine – a look at Ukrainian military

Today, I want to comment on a topic I did not address yet: the quality of the Ukrainian armed forces.

Over night, two Ukrainian helicopters flying at very low altitude and high speed flew across the Russian Ukrainian border, and in only six minutes of flight time found themselves next to a fuel storage facility near the Russian city of Belgorod.  They both fired, one missed, but the second one hit perfectly and the entire fuel storage facility ignited.  Not a big deal, the fire has been contained, but very embarrassing nonetheless 🙁

Another case: the night before yesterday a group of 5 Ukrainian helicopters took off from Nikolaev, flew 7 meters above the waves and landed in Mariupol.  Their mission  was to evacuate the leadership of the Azov force still hiding inside the Azovstal industrial facility. After they took off, two helicopters were shot down, but another three flew away, with a possible 3 helicopter ditching in the waters off the coast (unclear at this time).

Why do I consider these two events very telling? Continue reading “Day 36 of the Russian SMO in the Ukraine – a look at Ukrainian military”

Inflation, De-dollarization, and Russia’s Ultimate Goal for War in Ukraine

Was Ukraine only a pawn in the way of Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping’s grand ambitions?

Many observers speculate that Putin invaded Ukraine because he wanted to prevent NATO from expanding to Russia’s border. He felt increasingly threatened by a Ukrainian government formed in the aftermath of a 2014 Obama-backed coup. It is highly unlikely that Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine without first receiving the approval of China’s Xi Jinping.

What did Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping think Western Nations would do in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? The United States and the European Union would most likely refuse to join a kinetic war against the world’s greatest nuclear power. Therefore, they would be limited to sending military aid, imposing economic sanctions, and at the very most, excluding Russia from the SWIFT financial system.

These types of economic sanctions were predictable because this is exactly how the West responded when Russia took the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine in 2014. Strategically, Putin chose to invade now because the U.S. and E.U. would be incapable of mounting a more serious response at the end of the global long-term debt cycle when their economies faced record high-debt levels, the highest inflation in 40-years, and supply chain shortages fomented by lockdown policies implemented in response to covid-19.

Get Prepared for 2022

#standwithUkraine -because no matter the politics, no nation should be attacked.

Just to get it out there, I believe we all should #standwithUkraine, because no country should be attacked by another – politics aside. Because people are hurt and dying – as a physician, I can not support this kind of warfare. That said, the United States and the world have entered a dark time, and the end of this war is not in sight yet.

So what now? We know that no matter what happens with Russia and Ukraine in the coming days, weeks and months, the situation is dire. I am not going to go further into this issue here, except to say it breaks my heart to hear of the destruction, injuries and death. It is horrific for all people involved.

As some of you know, Jill and I predicted the supply shortages well before they happened with the COVID-19 Alpha strain in 2020.  So once again, Jill has been doing some due-diligence to help us and our little farming operation anticipate potential impacts, and has come to the conclusion that we all need to be aware that more shortages and general economic hardships are likely on the way due to both the current economic situation and the Russia/Ukraine disruptions.

First things first. Let’s discuss what this Russia/Ukraine war might impact Americans.

Riley Waggaman on Russian Myths Vs. Russian Reality

Submitted by CCRider

Listening to the corporate press do you get the sense that we have another “good versus evil” kabuki theatre presentation playing out in Ukraine? Have you come to believe the narrative that the evil and dastardly Vladimir Putin is the latest Hitler? That it’s him versus the west? That Putin is perhaps battling to save humanity from the World Economic Forum? Think again. Maybe it’s just the latest iteration of a plan set in motion decades ago? We know the WEF has ‘penetrated’ most of the world’s nation-states but has Russia become the bulwark opposing their wicked agenda? Think again. The links between Russian operatives and the WEF tell the real story. Leave it to James Corbett to smoke out the truth: This invasion is just the next logical step in their agenda.

 Corbett Report

Riley Waggaman, aka “Edward Slavsquat,” joins us today to dissect the propaganda myths that continue to swirl about Putin and Russia in the so-called alternative media and the sobering reality that Russia is neither singularly evil nor singularly good and that Putin is not a freedom fighter valiantly battling the globalists.
