F-16's, more symbolism as NATO members look past Ukraine.

 NATO MEMBERS ARE LOOKING FOR LIFE AFTER UKRAINE DISASTER

TURKEY AND HUNGARY ADMIT, NO WIN FOR UKRAINE



It is now becoming clear to European NATO members that they need to begin planning for what the world will be like after the Ukraine conflict is concluded. Turkey and Hungary met this weekend and admitted they need to seek to repair relations with Russia to insure their economic future. Both countries have large economic relationships with Russia, for energy and also Turkey shares a common border. They have been trying to not burn any bridges and they now seem to understand that this conflict will never end in Ukraine's favor. They are the first to publicly admit this situation, but you can bet the Germans and French are thinking what these two are verbally saying.

At the same time the U.S. is allowing f-16's to be transferred to Ukraine. 61 f-16's with newly trained Ukrainian pilots will be just so much a target to test Russian air defenses and well trained Russian pilots in their advanced aircraft. All conflicts are used by militaries to test their equipment, but this war has been just so much advanced training for the Russian military, that has not been in a real conflict since WW2. At the start of this conflict they were somewhat disorganized and lacked focus on their mission, that has all changed and they have now become a well honed machine, all at the expense of 100's of thousands of Ukrainian lives and western military equipment as targets.

The Russians have lost many thousands of their soldiers and have resigned themselves to a future without serious relations with Western  Europe. They seem to have done a much better job of relations with the rest of the world and it appears we will now have a multi-polar economic and political world. One day history will write what a disaster this U.S. inspired Ukrainian conflict has been. It has been indeed a pivotal moment in world history.

Now the next question is, will the U.S. foreign policy experts admit their miscalculations and arrogant  and delusional polices or will they again double down to save their political image. After all, they have indeed destroyed any future that their was for Ukraine. Would Ukraine have been better off as a neutral non-aligned country rather than a member of NATO? Would western Europe have been better off with cheap Russian energy to maintain their industrial capacity? I bet the citizens of Germany and others are asking that question. Does anyone believe that Russia posed a military threat to Europe or to the United States for that matter? Only if you are one of the U.S. policy makers bent on world domination and control.

While the Ukraine conflict may continue for some time, it is clear the Ukrainian's will not prevail. Further escalation can only destroy more of the country and kill more of its diminishing population. Russia considers this conflict an existential threat to their nation, and it is. They have actually been restrained in their approach and hoped to avoid war and hoped to negotiate an acceptable security plan. The U.S. has staked NATO and its international standing on this conflict and has little chance of saving face. Will they now believe that a pre-emptive nuclear strike on Russia is their only hope? Will they tell the world they had to do it as their intelligence forsaw a Russian pre-emptive strike? No one should doubt the hubris and delusional mentality of this administration.

Much anticipated 15th BRICS meeting August 22-24.

 AGENDA DEALS WITH NEW MEMBERS AND CURRENCY

MAY DEFINE THE FUTURE OF GLOBAL TRADE



The 15th meeting of the BRICS group will convene in South Africa on August 22. It is a much anticipated meeting and will be hosted by the leaders of China, Brazil, India, South AFrica and Putin of Russia will attend virtually. There are 67 leaders of other countries planning on attending. It is expected that the BRICS group will be expanded and the official applicants so far are  Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, Algeria, Argentina, Bangladesh and Ethiopia. There are at least 40 other countries considering joining the group.

It is planned that solid rules for meeting the requirements for joining are to be designed at this meeting. China wants anyone who is willing to be able to join. India has had reservations about countries that are not considered democratic, joining. We can expect that there has been pressure being placed on some members to assist in dividing this group at the insistence of the U.S. and G7, but it is likely this group will strengthen and expand.

The other big item on the agenda is the development of a new trading currency or the ability to trade in each nations currency. It is an attempt to replace the Dollar as the world's trading currency or at least provide an alternative. Actually it is an attempt to provide an alternative duel trading method. Much of this has become iminent due to the huge debt and deficits of the United States and the use of sanctions by the U.S. to interfere with the economies of other countries. 

While many have speculated that it is an attempt to use the Quan as a new reserve currency, actually that is not the case. One idea is to allow nations to trade in their own currencies and then every quarter settle their deficit with an actual transfer of gold. The other idea is to peg all the currencies of the member countries to a weight of gold and then accept those currencies at that rate between members, this seems to be the favored method so far, as all member nations could trade with each other in any members currency. The rate to gold could be set at the time of settlement. India could sell rice to members in their currency and Russia or China would accept those currencies received for oil or other goods.

The present population of the members is approaching half the worlds population, it can grow to be a huge trading group that will not be asking to eliminate or sanction others for political or social issues. It will be focused on business without prejudice or bias. A tall order in todays political climate.

While many feel that it is an attack on the U.S. and dollar hegemony, it is in reality the effects of fiscal mismanagement and the abuse of the worlds reserve currency by the Unite States for political purposes. It is more of providing an alternative rather than a complete replacement method. In actuality it may be just what is needed to force fiscal restraint and an end to the policy hat they can force political and social change by threats of economic destruction.

Is the end for Ukraine approaching?

 NATO PROPOSES DIVISION OF UKRIANE FOR NATO MEMBERSHIP

NO ONE ASKS THE RUSSIANS



As the Ukrainian counter offensive fizzles it is becoming apparent this conflict can no longer be sustained by Ukraine or its backers..While an estimated 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died since the beginning of the new counteroffensive and much of its military hardware and supplies are becoming scarce, a plan B has yet to be determined.

Zelensky is now in an increasingly perilous situation as some in the Ukrainian leadership are advocating an end to the offensive and a focus on developing a defensive approach to the conflict. The military realizes that once Russia determines that the Ukrainian forces are depleted enough they will begin an offensive to take Kharkiv and Odessa. Then Russia would then most likely try to move to the Dnieper river before beginning negotiations. This would place Kiev in a position that they would then be very weak in any negotiation.

NATO is now floating an idea of a negotiation that would cede the occupied territory in exchange for NATO membership for western Ukraine. Only problem, no one wants to ask Russia's opinion, because this conflict has never been about territory, but about security and the rejection of NATO expansion into Ukraine. Russia is not going to accept Ukraine NATO membership, short of military defeat with a potential nuclear war. Russia has always wanted a neutral Ukraine by being the borderland or buffer between Russia and NATO. After the cost of lives and treasure, NATO membership is even more of a no go.

The clock is actually running out, The Ukrainian military option to go on the defense is their best option other than capitulation. The offensive is faltering, recruitment is becoming very difficult, surrender to the Russians is increasing, as the Russian's have been smart in giving captives medical care and fairly good treatment. Medical care has deteriorated for wounded Ukrainians, many die before they can receive any care and there are reports of drone footage of many bodies that are still littering the battlefield weeks after engagements. There is a real possibility that a collapse of the Ukrainian military is on the horizon. They have fought harder under poor conditions than anyone could have expected, in fact, they really never had a chance to succeed without air cover and a strong supply of munitions. 

While the destruction of Ukraine as a viable country has been the result of this misadventure into NATO expansion, Ukraine can no longer sustain this fight. The West is now all about face saving and looking for a way to declare a victory, even if it is just another false narrative. They have proposed enticing Poland and Latvia to intervene, but such a expansion would be a very dangerous escalation, considering that the Poles and Latvians are not viewed by the Russian's as brothers and there would be no restraint. Many Russian's still feel compassion for the many of the Ukrainians, even while they have to fight.

Zelensky, his leadership, and NATO will have to decide on a realistic plan B, quickly, or it will just become beyond their ultimate control.

Obviously, Democrats believe they can rule forever.

 NO RESTRAINT IN THEIR ABUSE OF POWER AND CORRUPTION

THEY WILL RULE OVER A COLLAPSING AMERICA



Every action by the ruling party or the ruling coalition indicates that they now believe they will retain power in perpetuity. While the Democrats now control most of the levers of power we can only assume the direction of the country would be the same if the titles were reversed but manned by other submissive figureheads. 

We see this abuse both domestically and in foreign relations. We will do as we please and if you resist, we will destroy you. While it seems that it is all under control on the domestic scene the real test is going to come from those on the global scene that are willing to just say, NO.

We see these continuous political indictments of Donald Trump, not only in an attempt to damage him politically, but a real desire to make him an example to any political candidate to not buck the ruling elite. We see the effects on the growing republican field that have all fallen in lockstep with advocating the continuation of forever war. They are required to approve of the war in Ukraine, to approve of the military threats to China, and advocate for the overthrow of any government not supporting U.S. policy, no matter how disgusting. Yes, it is obvious that the ruling elite of both mythical political parties do believe they have their power sowed up in perpetuity and it may be true. 

Unfortunately they will be ruling over a fast declining America, an America looked at with disgust and suspicion by much of the world and also by a growing number of its own citizens. A rule that will only be positible by force and intimidation, not by a good reputation, credibility and confidence. A victory of rule that is destined to self destruct and take down the country and possibly the world with it.

Sadly it is just a repeat of former powerful empires that eventually fall into the cycle of depravity and decline. It is the fate of every individual or nation that believes it can ignore the basic laws of Human civilization and succeed. Absolute power does indeed corrupt absolutely.

So as the nation watches the soap opera of Trump indictments, the nations leaders are fixated on the  destruction and possible incineration of Ukraine,  a continuous invasion of the borders, a potential war with China, the expansion of the national debt, the end of the dollar as the world reserve currency and the growing loss of confidence and credibility in this government and this country.

As for Trump, It could be a blessing for him to be able to watch as this administration wins another term and has to rule over the end of this country, it is a just reward for this establishment and all its corrupt supporters.

While they may have engineered the perpetual lock on power in the end it will be a hollow victory when there is little left to rule over.

New Proxy war, now in Africa.

 SIDES ARE BEING TAKEN IN A WAR THAT WILL HAVE GLOBAL CONSEQUENCES

WILL THIS NOW BE A NATO OPERATION?


The crisis in Africa is now on the point of violence as the ECOWAS group has signaled they are preparing for war. The U.S. and France is signaling they will support their efforts to overthrow the coup government in Niger. Mali and Burkina Faso have signaled they will support Niger. Russia has warned ECOWAS not to invade Niger and supports a non-violent resolution. 

It seems only 2 nations of ECOWAS group have actually begun preparations for war. It may be that many are having second thoughts about engaging in this war. In fact, the proposed meeting to finalize details has been postponed.

It is also rumored that Niger has sought support form the Wagner Group to help with their security. The Wagner group is actually popular in some of these African countries because of their efforts to suppress islamic terrorists and rebels. They are also feared by some of these governments as well. 

No matter what, France does not seem to have any support by anyone in the general population. Without assistance, France is going to lose its influence in Africa. Even with military force, their standing is destined to become lessened in the future.

While this war may now be on hold for now, we can expect that it will not just go away, we will likely see more areas of change in Africa.

More cover-up by DOJ, independent special counsel needed.

 CONGRESS NEEDS TO DEMAND UNBIASED SPECIAL COUNCIL

JUST AN ATTEMPT TO SHUT DOWN CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION



Friday saw the latest amateur attempt by the Biden Department of Justice to stop and bury the investigation into Joe Biden's corruption. After their attempt to give Hunter Biden immunity failed, they have now appointed the same prosecutor who OK'd a sweetheart deal in the first place. It is a remarkably feeble attempt to bury and end this investigation. 

Knowing that congress was soon to issue subpoenas for Hunter Biden and maybe even Joe Biden they hope to disable any further investigation by congress. You can expect that due to the special council, no one can investigate but him. Congress needs to take a stand. They should demand and independent special council and if they need to stop all congressional business, including new funding they should do so.

If they consent to this further obstruction of justice, they are as much consenting collaborators to this injustice. 

They should also move to impeach Merrick Garland for an obvious obstruction of Justice, and they should now move for the impeachment of Joe Biden for obstruction of justice, abuse of power and taking of money from foreign powers. They should also begin investigating the connection between the Biden corruption in Ukraine with this ongoing war.

The corruption of the departments of this federal government can no longer be ignored, it is worse than many third world countries, obvious corruption in an attempt to hide their pervasive previous corruption.
It is true, "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive." No better description of the present Federal government.

Leaked documents reveal U.S. orchestrated removal of Pakistani leader.

 U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT TOLD PAKISTANI OPPOSITION THAT A NO CONFIDENCE VOTE WAS NEEDED TO REMOVE IMRAN KHAN

OUSTED FOR DESIRING TO STAY NEUTRAL IN UKRAINE



Documents surfaced this week that verified what most already knew, that the United States was instrumental in having Imran Kahn removed from office. He made the mistake of deciding to stay neutral in the current geopolitical war.

It was revealed that current undersecretary of state Donald Lu told the Pakistan ambassador that failure to side with the U.S. and Ukraine was unexceptable and that all would be forgiven if Khan was removed by a no-confidence vote. He also said, if not, there would be difficulties for Pakistan.This meeting was on March7, 2022. One month later Kahn, the most popular politician in Pakistan, was removed by a no confidence vote.

Kahn proceeded to begin his campaign for the upcoming election in April, 2023. He spoke before large crowds and has the overwhelming support of the people of Pakistan. He was wounded in an assassination attempt and recovered and continued to campaign.

He was then arrested and charged with corruption. He was then convicted and sentenced to 3 years in prison on August 5, 2023.

This intervention is now the norm of the current U.S. government. Yesterday there was a no confidence vote in India, that failed, Prime minister Modi is under pressure by the U.S. and internal division is being used to bring his government down. Modi is also popular with the people of India. 

There is widespread use of U.S. non-government agencies, funded by the U.S. to create dissent and instability in Hungry, Turkey and any other countries that do not take a lock step position with the United States

One can only believe that this policy of regime change and intervention is now becoming old and the populations of these counties, like Pakistan, realize what has happened and support for the U.S. will decline. Does anyone believe that the German populace is looking at the U.S. in a new light after the destruction of the Nord stream pipeline.

It seems there is no backing down by this administration, we now see that war is coming to Africa, threats of war with China and Iran are being discussed and escalation of the war in Ukraine continues. Biden has now asked for another $13 billion for Ukraine, it is now like a monthly cost to sustain this losing policy. 

This administration and its supporters are delusional if they really believe they can manage war all over the globe and orchestrate regime change in every country that does not support them. 

Another observation, it is becoming clear that the tactics used all over the world are now being used against the political opposition here at home. You can expect that Donald Trump will be convicted and jailed before the next election.
