Is the Ukrainian "Kursk Offensive" just a PR stunt???

NOTE! I realize this guy is a sympathizer of the Russians but we can't just rely on Western news media to get the real deal on this stuff. Its up to you to decide but let's be honest. The idea that the Ukrainians could muster forces to launch an offensive at this stage of the fighting seems far fetched. To be even more blunt it seems more like a PR stunt than an actual action to change the course of the war. I'm smelling another ill timed offensive instead of a well conceived battle plan.

Wait what? Ukrainian forces without air, artillery or armored support are being picked off wholesale by Lancet attack drones???

Would Russia use battlefield tactical nukes to destroy Ukrainian forces on its own land?

You read the headline.

I think its possible.  It would stun and frighten the West and yet NO ONE COULD PLAUSIBLY do a thing about it.

They used tactical nukes on their own land against an enemy force.

How do you justify attacking a country for nuking its own land? NATO would be on the sidelines.  The US could posture but in the end do nothing.

The only real question, because I'm sure its been considered is if its worth it.

Do the Russians have neutron bombs?  High radiation levels that should rapidly dissipate if I remember correctly.  This sounds almost tailor made especially since structural damage would be limited.

What do ya'll think?

Don't know if this is correct but if so then modern Islam has subjugated its believers...

The traditional dress is so colorful and almost stunning. I wonder how and why modern Islam has gone to the "all black" attire? Additionally I have to wonder why we no longer here about the stress between Shia and Sunni.

How many of ya'll are gonna have memories after watching the vid?

Does this bring back memories for anyone?

Damn! Putin looks like he's ready to put a bullet in the head of his general during the briefing

Interesting. Ukraine has launched an offensive near Kursk?

This makes no sense. But its working so fuck me. How is a force that has suffered the casualties that the Ukrainians have, suddenly launched an offensive? Is it a real offensive or an attempt to take pressure off another front? There are encircled Russian forces. Will they attempt to keep them supplied by air (drone) or will they attempt a breakout? Weird war. Weird strategies. Is this an independent Ukrainian effort or are they taking the advice of pick your country?

This is gonna be a law suit from hell...

 

The West is screwed economically.

 Noble wrote a comment on another blog post that paused me in track.

Long story short?

The West is screwed economically.  I'm no economist but just trying to suss out the trend lines and we either develop a new economic system or we're gonna be faced with invading armies (no, not immigrants either but actual armies) coming to the resource rich US and Canada.

Doing my little mind exercise I'm actually beginning to wonder if it wouldn't make more sense to retreat to fortress America NOW and build up a huge nuclear arsenal cause I'm beginning to wonder if the trend lines aren't pointing to us simply being spent into dust just like we did the USSR.

Enough of my musing.  Check out what Noble had to say along with the graphics he posted...

Just want to share a view graphics to paint a picture of "why the Pacific":


G7's declining share of global GDP Take-away: the handful of North American and Western European countries don't have the economic clout that they did when the Soviet Union collapsed.


Population Density of Asia Take-away: India, China, Indonesia, Pakistan...these places have MASSIVE populations, growing industrialization, growing technology, etc.......60% of the 8 billion humans live here. I think I read once that for almost all of recorded history minus the last few hundred years, China and India were >75% of global GDP. We are returning to that baseline.


World's 10 busiest ports Take-away: How do you pry the planet away from Chinese influence when they are the factory supplying everyone with needed goods? And is it any surprise that they are aggressively trying to secure their maritime trade links and build out overland alternatives?




 We should have killed China in the crib.  MacArthur was right.  A terrible fight then would have prevented a terrible loss in the near future.

But do we have time to get them before they turn into a monster from the depths of hell?

Maybe if we got serious.  But they've penetrated too many of our institutions and govt.  Confidence is not high.  The nuclear arsenal that can destroy all comers is probably the best choice at this time.  Conventionally I just don't think we have the national will.

If an ally starts a fight we don't want do we have to support them?

 You read the title now let me get to the point.

A reader posted a video that stated that Israel is pushing beyond the justifiable (in my opinion) fight in Gaza to include Iran, Hezbollah and maybe even Syria.

I hate to say it but it sure seems like that's the case.

Don't get me wrong.  I understand the fight in Gaza.  That makes nothing but sense to me.  Its ugly but it had to be done.  But if Israel is pushing a fight against Iran at THIS TIME does it make sense?

Not to me.  Not in any way.

Our munitions supplies have been drained.  We are running on empty and open hands from Israel and Ukraine should have long ago gone by the wayside in order to ensure our own security.

Next the world economy is on the brink.  A major war and the disruption of oil from the middle east could have unexpected knock effects.

In short it could plunge the world into a terrible recession.

But my biggest issue is that we have countries that are our allies and they're wagging the dog.

You can't engage in activity that will require support without consultation.  If you're gonna start a gun fight and then ask me for ammo I think I get a call in you starting that damn gun fight!

I support Israel but they're starting to land in the Ukraine camp to me.  Yeah we will support you but don't be stupid about it.

That was fast. They're already after VP Dem candidate Waltz

I thought one of my readers was talking smack but apparently SAM-BUSHES no longer work in the war between Ukraine & Russia

If an AC-130 can get this close to a Navy warship then shit has gone horribly wrong...

Yeah I know this was just play time for an AC-130 crew but that plane can't sink a ship. Cause major damage to electronics and kill personnel but not sink a ship.

The fighting in Bangladesh is turning nasty....

 

This might be an EXTEREMELY controversial statement but I can see a time when its EVERY RELIGION ON EARTH vs the Muslims...
