Yeah...about those nurses and the Tik-Tok dance videos during the pandemic...

That's when they switched from being angels to demons....Dancing while people died, turning into tyrants and not allowing loved ones to be with their dying and preaching about how everyone needs to stay home to stop the spread while we ACTUALLY saw empty hospitals? Love turned to hate.

Did Pelosi pussy out?

Wow. Is Pelosi pussying out of visiting Taiwan? I HOPE TO GOD NOT!!!! If the US military and Biden Admin have capitulated to Chinese wishes then we have already lost the first battle in the US/Sino War.

China is loading armor on RORO Ships? This thing is getting spicey!

Wow. They're publicizing this. I believe a message is being sent. Wonder how the White House views it. Wonder what the Pentagon is thinking!

Multinational SOF conduct Special Operations Urban Combat training

2nd Marine Aircraft Wing - What We Do

Really not a fan of this vid. Don't know if its a style thing or information thing but both seem lacking.

Your move China. Pelosi on her way to Taiwan!

Oooh. I wonder if that jet has chaff dispenser, dazzlers and all the other stuff that smash on executive jets to keep dignitaries safe. I'd bet its enhanced though. China was a bit boisterous in stating their displeasure. Of course the icing on the cake would be if the Navy/Air Force dispatched fighters to escort her in. This was a huge mistake though. China has to follow thru or the natives will be restless. I can't remember another time where China has painted themselves into a corner.

I'm rambling but has anyone considered that the Chinese might have moved up their timetable to confront the US?

Could this be part of their calculation?

Think about it.  Outside of the UK with a token force of an aircraft carrier and a Destroyer what else could they send?  What would the rest of NATO (assuming they would have gone anyway)?

The USMC is changing its entire reason for being to "support the fleet".  What if the Chinese ran some wargames and believe that they can win?

Is a fight what they actually want?  Sure seems like it.  If Nancy doesn't go then they win and they've demoralized the US public. If Nancy goes then they have an excuse for war and can credibly say they warned the US ahead of time so they were provoked!

Its now being claimed that Russian conducted a missile attack on its own facility holding AZOV Regiment prisoners.

 via The Kyiv Independent

Early on July 29, Russian media published a video showing a heavily ruined and burnt prison barrack, supposedly from the prison outside Olenivka, with scores of charred bodies in and around it. 


The Olenivska prison, as it is known in eastern Ukraine, is located some three kilometers east of the town Olenivka, in an isolated area. Since the region fell under Russian occupation in 2014, it had also been used as an internment camp.


Since May, some of the nearly 2,000 Ukrainian combatants who surrendered under order at the Azovstal plant following a months-long battle were also held in Olenivka. Many of them belong to the Azov Regiment, which played an important role in the Battle of Mariupol. Russia and Russian-led militants repeatedly vowed to execute the Azov combatants. 


After the destruction of the Olenivka prison, the Russian embassy in the U.K. tweeted that Ukrainian prisoners from the Azov Regiment "deserved death," even as Russia was accusing Ukraine of the attack. 


The fact that Ukrainian prisoners were held in Olenivka was well-known. In early June, a popular Russian pro-government Telegram channel, trying to discredit the talks about the shipment of long-range artillery to Ukraine, claimed that Ukraine was considering using the Western-provided artillery to shoot at the camp to frame Russia.


"Russian occupants were pursuing criminal ends: to accuse Ukraine of committing war crimes. And also to conceal torture of detainees and executions carried out by authorities under Russian military command," Ukraine's General Staff of the Armed Forces said on July 29.

Ok.  I don't know anymore.  

The only thing I'm sure of is that we're in the land of mirrors. We don't know what the fuck is real and what is fake.

Whenever we start getting a series of reports like this one it does make me wonder if this isn't another try at regaining the attention of civilians in the West.

Oh and don't discount that idea.

The economy is in the toilet in the US.  Crime is out of control. We have an illegal immigration issue from hell.  Prices are outrageous and inflation is increasing.

A war to focus the masses attention would probably be welcomed by the elite/political class. 

China state media dials it up to 11 with regard to the Pelosi trip to Taiwan.

It still mystifies me that the Chinese are dialing this up so much. What it the gain? They're making this a do or die moment. 

Is it calculations with regard to Biden's timidity? I can only wonder if they tried this with someone like Reagan (even given today's environment). He'd be sending a Carrier Battle Group, Amphibious Battle Group, put a couple of Air Wings on alert and do the same with the 2nd ID along with the 25th ID.

The real question though is this.

They've tossed down a gauntlet that means that we can't back down...neither can they.

So what will they do when Pelosi arrives and what will our response be?

What is the percentage chance that we see a major military event before this is over?
