Today a very close ally of Putin and mastermind of the Ukraine invasion survived an assassination attempt, but his daughter was blown to pieces with a car bomb. They switched cars at a stop on their trip in Russia.

Some are blaming the US CIA or Ukraine.

I’m figuring it was Putin.

I was searching for a story to confirm report of a Ukrainian trying to sell a legit Stinger missile in Germany.

Instead I found lots of stories on our shrinking supply of Stinger missiles in the US inventory, you know in case there are Russian jets flying over the US.

Now why would someone want a Stinger missile?

Purge the military of real fighting men and replace them with woke folks who are experts in pronoun usage.
Run the US Strategic petroleum reserve dry.
Sell off all stock of stinger missiles and HIMARS launchers.

Gee. Its almost as if Sleepy Joe was making sure the US would lose a conflict with China.

Yep. China is openly preparing to invade Taiwan, Russia is mobilizing their reserves... Europe's economy and armed forces are in dire straits and Darth Brandon is busy destroying our country for his masters.

Calls up 300,000. Flights to leave Russia booked up. How to break arm, new big internet search in Russia. Nukes or victory.

Scary times.

Nord pipelines sabotaged.

Was it Ukraine, USA or Russia.

Required divers, submarine or submarine drone.

Not sure what to make of it.

I am not sure the reason Russia would do this as they are already shutting off the flow of gas and can do that any time they want. Ukraine doesn't operate in the Baltic Sea. UK has the SBS and the US has the Navy Seals, either one capable... but their motives for doing so are also unclear. Any way you look at it, it is another escalation towards WW3.

Yeah; I'm clueless about this. Only one of the two pipeline systems was in operation, the Nord Stream 2 having never been commissioned. Somebody who has knowledge needs to comment. What I would wonder is if, because the pipeline runs so close to Finland, there was a terminus or access point in the Gulf of Finland, well away from Russia, that might have been used to push imported LNG from there on to Germany. As it stands--well, stood--Russia can just shut off the supply side at Vyborg and be done with it. Unless there would then be a way to start a new flow from takers off Finland. Ditto for Nord Stream 2: I understand the line was fully completed as of September 2021, just never commissioned. In which case, Russia disabling both lines in front of the European winter could make sense, effectively pulling them out of service for months until repairs could be made and tested, assuming anyone would be willing to pay for the repair work.

Makes zero sense to me, though, that Ukraine would do it. I can't see any way it benefit them, only hurt.

Complications of the Ukraine War
https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/complica ... e=hs_email
According to what we hear from the White House and from the television networks, the issues at stake in the Ukraine War are simple. They concern the evil of Vladimir Putin, who woke up one morning and chose, whether out of sadism or insanity, to wreak unspeakable violence on his neighbors. Putin’s actions are described as an “unprovoked invasion” of a noble democracy by a corrupt autocracy. How we ought to respond is assumed to be a no-brainer. The United States has pledged vast quantities of its deadliest weaponry, along with aid that is likely to run into the hundreds of billions of dollars, and has brought large parts of the world economy—particularly in Europe—to a standstill.

Now, whenever people in power tell you something is a no-brainer, there’s a good chance that it’s a brainer. And the Ukraine War is more complicated than we’ve been led to assume.

Interesting read. I don't think the Biden regime is intelligent enough to understand the circumstances in that region much less conduct a war there. I can see this going south quickly.
