Russia and Belarus wargames 2021
Douglas Macgregor – The American Conservative Jan 26, 2023
Until it decided to confront Moscow with an existential military threat in Ukraine, Washington confined the use of American military power to conflicts that Americans could afford to lose, wars with weak opponents in the developing world from Saigon to Baghdad that did not present an existential threat to U.S. forces or American territory. This time—a proxy war with Russia—is different.
Contrary to early Beltway hopes and expectations, Russia neither collapsed internally nor capitulated to the collective West’s demands for regime change in Moscow. Washington underestimated Russia’s societal cohesion, its latent military potential, and its relative immunity to Western economic sanctions.
As a result, Washington’s proxy war against Russia is failing. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was unusually candid about the situation in Ukraine when he told the allies in Germany at Ramstein Air Base on January 20, “We have a window of opportunity here, between now and the spring,” admitting, “That’s not a long time.”
Alexei Arestovich, President Zelensky’s recently fired advisor and unofficial “Spinmeister,” was more direct. He expressed his own doubts that Ukraine can win its war with Russia and he now questions whether Ukraine will even survive the war. Ukrainian losses—at least 150,000 dead including 35,000 missing in action and presumed dead—have fatally weakened Ukrainian forces resulting in a fragile Ukrainian defensive posture that will likely shatter under the crushing weight of attacking Russian forces in the next few weeks.
Ukraine’s materiel losses are equally severe. These include thousands of tanks and armored infantry fighting vehicles, artillery systems, air defense platforms, and weapons of all calibers. These totals include the equivalent of seven years of Javelin missile production. In a setting where Russian artillery systems can fire nearly 60,000 rounds of all types—rockets, missiles, drones, and hard-shell ammunition—a day, Ukrainian forces are hard-pressed to answer these Russian salvos with 6,000 rounds daily. New platform and ammunition packages for Ukraine may enrich the Washington community, but they cannot change these conditions.
Predictably, Washington’s frustration with the collective West’s failure to stem the tide of Ukrainian defeat is growing. In fact, the frustration is rapidly giving way to desperation.
Michael Rubin, a former Bush appointee and avid supporter of America’s permanent conflicts in the Middle East and Afghanistan, vented his frustration in a 1945 article asserting that, “if the world allows Russia to remain a unitary state, and if it allows Putinism to survive Putin, then, Ukraine should be allowed to maintain its own nuclear deterrence, whether it joins NATO or not.” On its face, the suggestion is reckless, but the statement does accurately reflect the anxiety in Washington circles that Ukrainian defeat is inevitable.
NATO’s members were never strongly united behind Washington’s crusade to fatally weaken Russia. The governments of Hungary and Croatia are simply acknowledging the wider European public’s opposition to war with Russia and lack of support for Washington’s desire to postpone Ukraine’s foreseeable defeat.
Though sympathetic to the Ukrainian people, Berlin did not support all-out war with Russia on Ukraine’s behalf. Now, Germans are also uneasy with the catastrophic condition of the German armed forces.
Retired German Air Force General (four-star equivalent) Harald Kujat, former chairman of the NATO Military Committee, severely criticized Berlin for allowing Washington to railroad Germany into conflict with Russia, noting that several decades of German political leaders actively disarmed Germany and thus deprived Berlin of authority or credibility in Europe. Though actively suppressed by the German government and media, his comments are resonating strongly with the German electorate.
The blunt fact is that in its efforts to secure victory in its proxy war with Russia, Washington ignores historical reality. From the 13th century onward, Ukraine was a region dominated by larger, more powerful national powers, whether Lithuanian, Polish, Swedish, Austrian, or Russian.
In the aftermath of the First World War, abortive Polish designs for an independent Ukrainian State were conceived to weaken Bolshevik Russia. Today, Russia is not communist, nor does Moscow seek the destruction of the Polish State as Trotsky, Lenin, Stalin, and their followers did in 1920.
So where is Washington headed with its proxy war against Russia? The question deserves an answer.
On Sunday December 7, 1941, U.S. Ambassador Averell Harriman was with Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill having dinner at Churchill’s home when the BBC broadcast the news that the Japanese had attacked the U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor. Harriman was visibly shocked. He simply repeated the words, “The Japanese have raided Pearl Harbor.”
Harriman need not have been surprised. The Roosevelt administration had practically done everything in its power to goad Tokyo into attacking U.S. forces in the Pacific with a series of hostile policy decisions culminating in Washington’s oil embargo during the summer of 1941.
In the Second World War, Washington was lucky with timing and allies. This time it’s different. Washington and its NATO allies are advocating a full-blown war against Russia, the devastation and breakup of the Russian Federation, as well as the destruction of millions of lives in Russia and Ukraine.
Washington emotes. Washington does not think, and it is also overtly hostile to empiricism and truth. Neither we nor our allies are prepared to fight all-out war with Russia, regionally or globally. The point is, if war breaks out between Russia and the United States, Americans should not be surprised. The Biden administration and its bipartisan supporters in Washington are doing all they possibly can to make it happen.

The only thing I can say is that this is framed from an Amerikan perspective.
The elites all over, know what’s going on, they know what’s coming.
This green alien space ship that just whizzed by the Sun, sent a wave of solar eruptions into space. For now, we were on the other side.
Imagine a CME that renders 5, or all 11 US carriers, mostly nuclear, as floating radioactive turds, just driffing about? Imagine waking up to no power, no TV, no Internet, no nothing
The Joo City and Wall Street just wastelands. They know this could happen. It happened in 1859 Carrington Event, and today, which is long due, this would fry everything, because the Earth’s magnetic field, it protection force is 25% weaker than in 1859! This is a fact.
Our number could come up any time on the roulette wheel over the next 3 years, and we will go thought it all again in the 2030s.
If we get hit by a decent sized CME, billions will die. I’d say at least 2 billion will die, maybe more. They know this.
I’m not saying you need to believe what I am saying. I just want you to try and set current events into some sort of ‘out there’ context.
This is why I don’t think the current global fracture is a planned elite game. Not just me, but many just laugh at the WEF, we laff at Gates, and the aledgedly superior Joos, will starve and fry just as well as regular thicko sheeple.
According to Redacted, ‘Germany is “open” to the idea that some Western actor sabotaged the Nord Stream Pipeline’. How ironic. Perhaps after being forced to send tanks to Ukraine by America, German politicians may be trying to deflect some heat from that…back onto America.

America can’t control its nog population, or its Mexicans or its uber-criminal Jews, so why should it be able to control Russia?
The united snakes has always fought on the wrong side, the side of evil in every war.
As planned by the banksters of the jewish war god jehovah, they always came in late in the game, had few casualties and were the “decisive” fatal blow.
When the end finally comes, they will for the first time have huge destruction of their own land… probably when all the infrastructure starts collapsing and the solar minimum mini (or full blown) ice age begins in earnest, I’d say in about 7 years time.
Too bad both ‘sides’ (NATO/Russia) are controlled by the same consortium of transnational Semitic central bankers/oligarchs. That’s what these CIA-KGB shills like Macgregor, Whitney, Ritter, Lira etc., (if you do the research you’ll discover they’re all Roman Catholics or crypto-yids) are hired to conceal from you & promote ZOGs phony NATO vs. Russia narrative..
IMO this Ukraine proxy war was a fool thing to do. Biden is a delusional – living in some fantasy world – dumping 130 billion into the Ukraine shithole, and not committed to real war, just throwing money and equipment in at behest of his Zionist masters.
Like Obongo said, don’t estimate Joe’s ability to screw things up. Biden has always been a flunky, a put up job, and the joke is on us, this career political hack, a duplicitous faker is now POTUS, god help us all. How in the hell did he get so far up the totem pole? Pedophilia deep state.
Anyways, fear not, you can bet that he will back down, because he is spineless grifter and has dozens of properties beach front homes. He is a gigantic POS making war, ruing the lives of millions of Ukrainians and over 200,000 dead so far, 11 million have fled for their lives, the draft imposed on Russia.
If we still have the real Joe Biden (a Catholic like JFK) on the throne, who actually makes decisions (not an actor in a rubber suit), he will act patriotically as Joe is an Amerikan who loves his nation. Thus at a deep level he will oppose Zionist agenda that destroys his home town. Thus he may be cleverly destroying the Zionist agenda by acting like a f-ck up.
Biden lost Afghanistan and Ukraine is all but lost, I am quite sure Russia is going to end gay demon Zelensky’s rule in Kiev. So if and when Putin launches his offensive, watch what Israel does. Jews are quite clever with deception, and when the headlines are all Ukraine, you should expect Bibi launching some kind of strike on Iran.
The wave of drone attacks are a signal that something bigger is coming.
Previous presidents have resisted helping Israel do this. But Biden apparently is going to provide air refueling support, and this may cause a real war with Iran, where Iran sends it’s precision rockets into Tel Aviv. By giving into the Israeli demands to help them wage war on Iran, Biden will have helped destroyed Israel.
Netanyahu is a crazed leader hellbent on wiping Iran out. He has gone to the UN general assembly with a Wiley E Coyote bomb cartoon, accusing Iran of getting nuclear weapons, while Israel has a huge arsenal of them.
Well, let us see how that plays out, as Iran has been prepping for war for a long time. With Russia busy with an all out assault on Ukraine, Israel will surely use that opportunity to attack, plus how pissed must they be that their Khazar hub is being wiped out. Eye for and eye.

“America was born in blood. America suckled on blood. America gorged on blood and grew into a giant, and America will drown in blood.” Thomas W. Chittum: Civil War 2: The Coming Breakup of America.

Civil War 2 implies that there was a Civil War 1. And there was. And it destroyed half of the country. And it killed 700,000 in the 1860’s when the country was an agrarian backwoods in relation to europe.
Before that there was the War of 1812. This was an attempt to bring the colonies back to heel after the disastrous surrender at Yorktown in 1783.
And then there is World War I. And I agree. America should never have gotten involved. Indeed, there should never have been such a war. But it may not have initiated as you believe.

And how did America get dragged into it?
“After his inauguration President Wilson received a visit from Mr, Samuel Untermeyer prominent New York Attorney and big contributor to the Democratic Party. Wilson was surprised when he was told by Untermeyer that he was retained by a client that was willing to accept $ 40,000 In lieu of action. His client was the former wife of a professor at Princeton University at the same time Wilson was a professor there.
Untermeyer had letters written by the President, Wilson had to acknowledge that he was the author of these letters. Untermeyer volunteered to give his client the $ 40,000 out of his own pocket in one condition: Wilson was to promise him to appoint to the first vacancy in the Supreme Court a nominee to be recommended to Wilson by him, Wilson agreed.
Untermeyer kept the letters as collateral.
His recommendation was Louis Brandeis, a Jew.
In 1914, justice Brandeis was the most influential zao fall Zionist in the USA and the opportunity to be of great service soon became available .
Justice Brandeis gave his opinion in the sinking if the SS Sussex by a German Submarine with the loss of lives if American citizens and that justified the Declaration of War. Relying upon the legal opening of Justice Brandeis, President Wilson appealed to Congress to declare war in Germany in April 02, 1917.”

This and the establishment of the Federal Reserve by a different(?) conspiracy, pretty much set the tone for the remainder of American history to the present.

The historical record of Hitler’s subsequent “economic miracle” in Germany is legend and information is easily available. Within only three years after removing Rothschild and the Jews from the banking system and taking control of banking and the currency, Germany was at full employment and the economy was humming again. Hitler’s economic measures were so successful that Roosevelt wanted very badly to copy his formula.
Even more, the US generally was so impressed with Hitler’s economic miracle that Time Magazine named him “Man of the Year”. Of course, Time has since learned its lesson and covers this with an astonishingly hateful diatribe of the same man they so highly honored, telling us now that “”He Continues to Live as a Symbol of Evil”[3]
. And of course, Snopes (another Jewish Hasbara troll) “fact-checked” this[4]
, and tells us that it is a totally false assumption that “Time’s “Man of the Year” designations were intended to signify greatness and approval, and were assigned only to people who had beneficial effects on the world. Snopes tells us further that “Time’s standard for the title has been identifying the person who has “had the greatest impact on the news,” regardless of whether that impact was positive or negative” But that stance constitutes unforgivable dishonesty; Time’s “Man of the Year” was an enormous honor for an outstanding person. And, to round out Snopes series of Jewish lies on the matter, they tell us that in the very same 1938 issue where Hitler was named Time’s “Man of the Year”,

Ohhh.. Come on, all of you .. All US wars since 70 years were not lost ?? They did win in Grenada ?? Didn’t they ??
