Russia mulling break with NATO--Watching the Former USSR

🇷🇺🇺🇦PUTIN PUTS ZELENSKY ON NOTICE

Vladimir Putin has spelled out how Russia will retaliate to long-range missile strikes by Ukraine, which are carried out with the participation of the US and UK…

Volleys of Oreshnik missiles will be used to hit Ukraine. He warned that decision-making centres would be targeted, signalling that Zelensky and his regime only continue to exist because Russia hasn’t yet targeted them.

He also warned yet again that targets within NATO countries could be hit in retaliation for the long-range strikes into Russia.

The world sits on the precipice of disaster, Washington continues to escalate the failed proxy war in a desperate attempt to milk the final drops of military-industrial complex profits before Donald Trump’s inauguration.

The result is that we are the closest we have ever been to all-out NATO-Russia war, and inevitable nuclear escalation.

For now though…Ukraine will be the one to suffer, commanded to continue the failed proxy war and escalate on behalf of NATO. One thing is clear; Vladimir Putin’s patience is wearing thin…and January 20th is still a while away. A week is a long time in geopolitics…let alone close to two months.

Georgians are unhappy with delaying the country's EU membership talks and flooded Tbilisi's streets today for the forth night in a row.
Clashes with the police erupted outside parliament, in an effort to disperse the protesters.

President Salome Zourabichvili slams Georgia's government as 'illegitimate' ...

I wonder, why you didn't start with your usual critic about this.

I don’t have the time to add to the issues I’m following currently. I have to read various sources to get an understanding of what actually might be happening—while you just have the one😂

You are free today of hearing comments from me about Georgia.

I don't know which of my sources you call "the one". (You can keep that to yourself!)

🙂But all of your sources say the same thing.🙂

Reading Glenn again this morning and thought any hapless by passers may find this relevant to my recent comments on this thread:

The "non-governmental organisations" (NGOs) that organise anti-government protests and support coups in places such as Ukraine and Georgia are funded by the US governments and aligned with US intelligence agencies (often staffed by "former" CIA officials)
- NED was established by President Reagan in 1983 so intelligence agencies could manipulate civil society in the open (hide in plain sight) by doing so under the guise of promoting human rights
- There is a sea of evidence of how NED functions as a branch of the CIA, yet they are never held accountable by the media and thus become increasingly brazen
- The shamelessness is demonstrated by inviting Victoria Nuland, the leading coup-maker in Kiev, on the board of directors of NED. None of our journalists think this is strange
- While the media is silent as the grave, there is plenty of academic work on how these organisations operate: westminsterpapers.org/article/id/115/

How do you know it? You neither know my sources (I do hope so for their security) nor was my computer hacked (at least not according to my security measures).

You always toe the establishment line, sir, except for your laudable statement on the Biden pardon. If you were to step out occasionally, I’d be forced to recant.🙂

Syria has taken a dramatic turn, causing me to re-evaluate the assets of the players in this turbo charged US aggression to hold on to their hegemony.

The following video by Brian Berletic contains the most incisive synthesis of pertinent geopolitical history—maps, supporting video of US policymakers, recent confusing alignments, rumored betrayals, and stunning events of this past week.

You will walk away with a good understanding of things as they are.

What do your sources say why Russia hasn't supported Assad anymore, is silent on the future of its military bases and Assad?

Russia and Iran offered help Syria.

Over a period of a couple of days, Assad changed his position multiple times. Iran sent an emissary and Assad didn’t grant him an audience.

In the end, rather than fighting these Israeli/US proxies, most of the Syrian army walked away. Assad left.

Russia and Iran can only help a govt willing to fight for itself.

The US’ well-paid proxies now run Syria. The people are starving; the US is already taking the resources.

Iran is the only country left on the list of seven countries not yet controlled by the US.

Obviously Russia and Iran decided they would throw Syria under the bus and pulled out.

Absolutely not. You are mistaken. This is a horrible blow to Russia and Iran’s situation.

Which of the three (and more) groups are well paid the US?

What people do you mean here? And what resources are the US taking?

Walter, I don’t want to make you lazy. Do a little research.🧐

The largest and spearhead group, the Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), is designated a terrorist organization by the UN, the US, Turkey, and others.

The Syrian National Army (SNA), an umbrella group, has strong ties to Turkey. However, not all SNA factions align fully with Turkish interests.

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are a coalition of primarily Kurdish fighters, alongside Arabs and other ethnic groups, that emerged during the Syrian Civil War.

So all of them are paid by the US.
I really would like that you keep the source for this not secret.

An old meme in the US shows a nighttime battle scene featuring glowing missiles on the left targeting glowing missiles on the right.

Beneath the left reads: My tax dollars.
Beneath the right reads: Also my tax dollars.

Same as it ever was.
You do know we armed and paid Bin Laden?
