Stephen Bryen – Asia Times Feb 25, 2024
Jens Stoltenberg, a former Norwegian Prime Minister and now Secretary General of NATO should be fired now, before it is too late. He announced he is giving Ukraine “permission” to use its soon to be delivered F-16s to launch attacks inside Russia.
This is equivalent to a NATO declaration of war. It is an irrational and dangerous move that needs to be quashed as soon as possible.
Not only is Stoltenberg an uber hawk, but he totally misunderstands NATO’s purpose. If he is allowed to stay in office, he will lead NATO into a European war that might well include nuclear weapons. Above all, Stoltenberg doesn’t grasp that NATO is a defensive, not an offensive, alliance.

NATO has been drifting in the wrong direction for years. It has got involved in wars outside of NATO’s defensive domain, based on a rude sort of politics that gratifies the US and Europe’s otherwise inert and short sighted leaders. These wars, that now include Ukraine, are draining NATO’s defenses and weakening the core responsibility of the alliance, which is to protect the territory of its members.
There are no provisions in the NATO Treaty authorizing offensive, outside-the-boundary operations.
Now the Russians are saying that many of the so-called “mercenaries” in Ukraine are, in fact, highly trained NATO soldiers. They wear Ukrainian uniforms with national patches identifying them. They are “necessary” to operate the high tech weapons NATO has sent to Ukraine. When the Russians recently took over Avdiivka they found bodies of these mercenaries, some American and some Poles.
Earlier, they killed at least 60 French mercenaries in a hotel in Kharkiv.
The French denounced the attack saying it was disinformation. But the French also called in the Russian ambassador to complain about French deaths in Ukraine.
The Ukraine war is being rapidly turned into a NATO war, not only through the supply of intelligence, troop training and armaments, but the supply of experienced technicians. It is simply impossible for Ukraine to operate air defense systems such as Patriot and NASAMs, rocket launching systems like HIMARS, or support British and French Storm Shadow cruise missiles, without considerable outside assistance.
Most of the deaths of NATO personnel are covered up. When they are reported at all, they generally say that the “volunteer” was providing medical assistance.
Now the Russians are starting to believe that the F-16s delivered to Ukraine (probably operational by early summer) will be operated by NATO pilots.
The Russians make this claim based on their own past performance. Russia dressed their pilots up in Chinese outfits to fly Mig-15s in the Korean war. In the war of attrition in 1970 between Egypt and Israel, Russian pilots flew missions, sometimes openly (as only Russians could fly the Mig-25) and sometimes pretending they were Egyptian pilots.
It is extremely dangerous to use NATO pilots in Ukraine. But now Stoltenberg has “given permission” to Ukraine to fly its F-16s over Russian territory. The war has already been expanded with NATO-made drones, cruise missiles and rockets attacking targets in Russia. Adding the F-16 is a qualitative expansion because F-16s can attack Russian cities.
Russia won’t content itself trying to shoot down F-16s flown in the name of Ukraine. They will, certainly, attack Ukrainian air fields (in fact they already are doing so). But will it stop there? Probably not: Russia will interpret the F-16s flying over its territory as a declaration of war against Russia, in fact Russia already is saying so.
The F-16 is an excellent aircraft, but the planes Ukraine is getting are around 20 years old and are not really front line. That’s why the countries supplying them have moved on. While they can be upgraded with newer weapons, better fire control computers, and maybe even better radars, they are not survivable against Russian air defenses and top of the line Russian aircraft such as the Su-35. Flying them over Russia is, therefore, only a provocation likely to result in a wider war spreading to Europe.
NATO has been playing chicken with Russia for some time, especially by supplying long range systems to Ukraine’s army. There is hardly any military justification, since harassing Russia only can lead to escalation and mostly does not strengthen Ukraine’s army, which is increasingly short of manpower and ammunition.
Zelensky probably hopes that he will be saved by a NATO intervention. But from Russia’s perspective, NATO has already intervened and things can only get worse.
It is not clear who, if anyone, told Stoltenberg to make such a reckless statement about the use of the F-16. What is clear is that the “permission” should be withdrawn and Stoltenberg fired.

MPs given taxpayer-funded bodyguards as death threats ‘become the norm’
The recent threats to three MPs is so high that they have reportedly been given taxpayer-funded bodyguards and chauffeur-driven cars.
Security arrangements like this are normally reserved only for those in the royal family and at the highest level of politics The British political system has persistently lied cheated and betrayed the people. But the current risk is seen as so high that some ordinary MPs deemed at particularly high risk have now been given them bodyguards only senior cabinet members and the leader of the opposition have had this previously. The Sunday Times, which broke the story, said that the unnamed but mainly j ewish politicians came from both the Tory Lib/dem and the Labour parties. It is part of a major push to improve the safety of MPs, including better security at constituency surgeries, where two MPs were murdered in the last eight years. Jo Cox was killed by a political extremist in the run-up to the Brexit referendum in 2016, this was later to be proved a false story , and Sir David Amess by an palestinian-sympathiser in 2021, leading to the new measures. Today, the threat level is getting ‘worse and worse’ according to Lisa Nandy, shadow minister for International Development. The Labour MP told Sky’s Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips that MPs were receiving threats ‘on multiple issues in multiple directions’ from multiple peoples” The Wigan MP, who said she always carried a police alarm with her, said: ‘We’ve had incidents over the last few months where people, including me, have been accosted on the streets and surrounded and filmed Why is this happening ? There have been almost daily demonstrations in the UK against the UKs support for the Palestinian genocides Tony Blairs knighthood after his hate crimes in iraq Our school children are being got at by drag queens ” ( transvestites) on LBGT indoctrinations, one talk was called ” the benefits of recreational buggery” Bad-Boris while scaring the country witless about covid masking up and standing away from folk , was having wine and cocktail parties at number 10 with no masks, he also gave many millions of our money to ukraine to buy israeli weapons Margaret Thatcher broke up all UK industry and exported it, she took us to war as Rothschild owns all the under sea oil and mineral wealth in the Falklands area Winston Churchill the worst traitor ever took our people to war twice on fudged up evidence and lies which bankrupted the country Since 1945 the biggest crime against our country and people has been the government people trafficking into or country of foreign nationals london is awash with foreign gangs so the government cut back on police numbers and handicapped police with political correctness, positive discrimination for coloured folk to be put over us is a huge racist slap in the face for our own people, an example of government hate where they played the race card to death is the Stephen Lawrence case, £25 million was spent to prosecute some white boys for his murder yet over 39 deaths of white folk by blacks hardly gets a mention
Stoltenberg is a fully paid up Nazi, and he’s been told to say this.
Where are these F16s flying from? If they operate from an official NATO Nazi sect country, those airfields will be destroyed. Same if they fly from airfields in Western UKraine.
The Russians will crash these planes, just like they crashed the 14/16 Migs that were flying hundreds of miles from the front.
So these planes pose very little risk from themselves, but they do escalate towards WW3, which in my opinion has started.
I other news, Zelensky has been on a very heavy sherbet session, now claiming UKraine has only lost 31,000 Nazi soldiers. lol
Another ‘red line’ in the sand. if, If IF !
What are we looking at here, a Gigantic beach ?
It’s an appalling script,
But billions love the show & maintain interest. & never have so many millions WANTED to be live on TV. literally.
We are 9% of the total world population, Our numbers decline dramatically year on year.
We passed the point where by our fate was sealed, decades ago….& missed the ‘event’ without ever realising it.
Yet we are still at War, primarily against each other re- the ‘big events’. ??????????
One canary in the mine, was the 1-Euro houses for sale in the remote Italian villages.
Very few are concerned.
The Paki West hates Russia because it still looks like a White country, so I will hate the Paki West (calling it Paki is instinctive but fits quite well)
Europe is done through zionists’ puppet leader. the masses have no power to kick ’em out before thermonuclear shoot begins.

Africa and South America are being emptied from all humans. So, all they want is, what they already did in the rest of the world, BREAKING UP the borders, and let the new working class in. They gave China and Russia some Dollars so they could make and buy weapons to be defeated by NATO in a mutual destruction. The same what they did with the American Indians, give them weapons and remove them from the chess board.
THE DEVIL CALLS HIS SERVANT HOME
Today J ewish financier and member of the Rothschild banking family, Lord Jacob Rothschild, has died at the age of 87, his family has announced.
This same day is a day of synchronicity as it was on Feb 26 1863, Kentucky National Currency Act 1863 that Abraham Lincoln signed the National Currency
establishing j ewish control over the single national US currency
finalied in 1913
A Butler at Jacob Rothschilds mansion said there was always an extra chair at the meal table in case the devil called
The j ewish peer started his career in the family bank, NM Rothschild & Sons, in 1963, before going on to co-found the then J Rothschild Assurance Group, now St James’s Place, with Sir Mark Weinberg in 1980.
He also founded Windmill Hill Asset Management to manage the family’s philanthropic portfolio for jews
During his career, he also held roles such as deputy chairman at the then BSkyB Television and was also chairman of trustees at The National Gallery.
The BBC since around 1936 has been Roths child controlled
The financier was instrumental in protecting child abuse charges on Greville Janner Edward Heath and Leon Britten, insisting they were not guilty
Rothschild blackmailed Britain to get involved against Germany in w w 2, the money they loaned us to fight the war for them
was repaid by 1966 strangely on June 6, 666
He will be buried in accordance with Jewish custom in a small family ceremony and there will be a memorial at a later date to celebrate his life.”
” god is not mocked “
It’s one thing if Western politicians are beginning to worry that their ‘subjects’ are no longer believing the ZOG media. Quite another if NATO soldiers no longer want to fight and die for them…
Nick Kollerstrom is on with Richie Allen today, discussing Richard D Hall.
Richie Allen if I’m not mistaken thought the Manchester bombing was the real thing. Perhaps he might be persuaded it was not. Anyway good on Richie for having Nick on his show.
Yes, he needs to go, this reckless idiot soltenberg must be getting big monies from all the military industrial complex including from his own country. And others such as the warmongers – khazar cult in the White House.
When Jens has to go .. I heard next in line for the job is outgoing dutch PM M. Rutte, what can we say about his Nazi background serving the Dutch SS Royalty .. he might be very usefull to the Bandera,s ..
btw, Jacob Rothchild(87) passed away ..
Scumbag Stoltenberg is just another pathetic jew puppet and as such he doesn’t say anything that he wasn’t authorized to say by his jew handlers. Thus firing him wouldn’t do any good as he’d just be replaced by another servile scumbag.
Have you ever noticed that the eco-warriors never mention war as a major cause of pollution, carbon footprint, CO2 emissions, etc.?
Tons of CO2 are released making steel for tanks. Tanks burn tons of diesel, then they are blown up and the occupants turned into charcoal, leaving toxic air and soil.
How many tons of CO2 is released just digging up the coal and transporting it?
How many tons of CO2 is released just digging up the iron ore and transporting it?
How many tons of CO2 is released reducing the iron ore in a huge furnace into iron using coal then transporting it?
How many tons of CO2 is released welding the steel for the tank, then all the CO2 for all the employees who drive big trucks for their tank assembly line job?
How many tons of CO2 is released getting the tank to the Army base then training the combat crews to drive them?
You got the idea? The whole carbon footprint is a fraud because the biggest emitter of CO2 is war. The biggest single user of oil and gasoline on the planet is the Pentacon. USAF jets burn thousands of tons a day of JP4 – yet the WEF says you can only fly 3 times in your lifetime.
The USAF Linebacker missions bombing the Ho Chi Min trail, 3 waves of 3 B-52s per day, each burning over 300,000 lbs of JP4. The bombs caused tons of CO2 emissions just to make the explosives. The bombs rain down – blowing the shit out of mother Nature. Hundreds of POWs are never repatriated – in the town I live I still see Vietnam lost POW black flags. A whole generation traumatized by war.
The whole carbon footprint thing is utter bullshit until they end war – and they are not going to do that – they want more war.
Stoltenberg is known warmonger , he is in the opinion of many mentally deranged and should be removed from his position .
This retarded hyena is just an useful idiot, at best of times. Being a full blown narcissist, just like the eggheaded fag castreau, he is ampintocentric (too stupid to have a relevant World view) and actually believes he is heard and heeded. In a sane World, this retard would have been shot long time ago.
STOP making stupid people famous -Dietrich Bonhoffer.
And of course, the previous mention of the staggering CO2 hypocrisy, is very relevant, as this ongoing MASONIC bullshit agenda merely serves to fill the pockets of parasites, at the expense of the people.
Stiltonberger:
The EPITOME of the pencil-necked sunken-chested lame-d!ck Euro’tard faggot…
trying to prove he’s more “manly” than the current crop of hysterical hirsute hags running the rest of EUSSR… 🙄
Pro Russia Solvak leader Robert Fico, claims NATO/EU states are considering, even planning to send troops into UKraine.
As I’ve said many times over that last few weeks, there are considerable numbers of mercenaries already in Western UKraine, and now it looks like they will be joined for NATO forces.
This talk about the war being over looks wrong, and again, I didn’t think it was over.
While I have always seen this war as between Russia and NATO, this is about to become official, and it’s going to be interesting to see what tactics NATO will use in UKraine, and what Russia will do.
I’ve said many times that Putin needs to go. This next phase is likely to prove me right. I am not saying NATO will succeed, but the fact it’s come to this is all down to Putin’s lite touch.
We should also keep in mind that NATO is carryout an unprecedented exercise called ‘Steadfast Defender’, & runs until the end of May!!!! This could be a two front war very quickly.
You see, they don’t believe Putin has the balls to use nukes. It doesn’t matter whether Putin does or doesn’t. Putin has been far to soft. Nazi UK, foolishly believes it can get away with anything. It would be very easy to false flag.
Blair, Ben Johnstein, Stolzenberg, Pissstorius,
Strack Zimmertrans ALL TO THE FRONT !
nature needs more CO2 .
METHANE IS THE PROBLEM !
It’s a good way to get rid of those obsolete F16’s so that our nations can stock up with the latest trash from the MIC, and to kill a few poorly-trained Ukrainian pilots to keep the threat of a WWIII alive.
Stoltenberg is an idiot and a fool. Everything that spews from his stupid mouth proves it. The man is both a lunatc and an imbecile.
Western think tanks couldn’t tank their way out of a wet paper bag at this stage of the game.
Look at that evil withered face, a face like a hyena. Coming from a background of massive privilege and dysfunction; politics, medicine, the arts/media in Norway, Amerikan born mother ; his arrogance and vanity is assured. But where has all his family’s and his previous pseudo concern gone about the plight of Palestinians? I hear not a word from this ghoul about Gaza except immediate support for Zionrael’s right to self defence aka. total extermination of opponents. Where is the NATO support for the unarmed civilians in Gaza? They don’t even get food or medical supplies still less billions & weapons.
More sleuthing needs to be done about his real background, it would not be astonishing to find close family connexions with the Nazi collaborators during the Qvisling era of occupied Norway. NATO now occupies Europe. Qvisling was of course executed and everything about him hushed up in Norway, more of the same anyone? Stoltenberg’s late sister was a drug addict, maybe that runs in the family too…might explain his mania to get all of Europe wiped out during his tenure. Already fellow genocide addict Macron is calling for NATO ground forces in Ukie- he wouldn’t say this unless the US and Stoltenberg had approved it first.
What needs to be removed is not just Stoltenberg but the whole evil of NATO if Europe, Russia and the world is to have the right to a future.
In case you didn’t know; Jens Stoltenberg is a Jew. A descendant of (non-Semitic) ashkenazi-Jews on both his mother’s side and on his father’s side. He is married to a Jewess and have several ashkenazi kids.
He is a war-criminal from the war of aggression against Libya. In which he, as prime minister of Norway, had the Norwegian Air Force to drop 596 bombs over Libya killing an unknown number of Libyans. Among them grandchildren of the leader of Libya, Qaddafi.
The Bosnians wanted Jens Stoltenberg’s father, Thorvald Stoltenberg, tried as a war-criminal in Bosnia for his role as the UN envoy to Yugoslavia leading up to the Sebrenitsa massacre.
Jens stoltenberg’s mother wrote the Norwegian law which legalizes abortion. A law responsible for the killings of close to 1 million Norwegian babies up to now. She bragged that doing that was her biggest achievement in her life…In case you didn’t know; Jens Stoltenberg is a Jew.

Some good commentary by many above in forming an accurate description and profile of that rabid shit weasel, Stoltenberg.
“Fire Jens Stoltenberg now before it is too late”” … I have a better idea. The syphilitic sodomite sure likes to bloviate like he’s some kind of Viking, even though a limp-wristed beanpole like him would have been used as a shit-rag by a real Viking back in the day, so he should be made to put his money where his mouth is. Kit him up, hand him a rifle, and send him to the Russian front so he can show everyone how it’s done. Put him at the head of the vanguard, the tip of the spear, for the next Jewkrainian “offensive”, which resemble erectile dysfunction.
Stoltenberg, like all squawking shit-talking chicken hawks, would piss down both legs, followed quickly by a reeking brown mudslide in his trousers if he were to ever actually face hostile fire. Any and all scum politicians and bureaucrackheads advocating for war against a foreign nation should have to be the first ones to go, along with their children.
The only wars We the People should care about these dark dystopian days are the ones which the treasonous federal cartels and other institutions infiltrated and overthrown by the Jew World Order have been actively waging on the citizens. The only places our armed forces should be are our own borders, mowing down every single Orc trying to come in illegally, and the capital cities, dragging the hordes of traitors into the streets and executing them.
people don’t even know basic ethnology on here (mainly these christian identity type nutters), ‘ashkenazi’ jews are descended from Semites, just like the Sephardim. ‘Asknenazi’ means ‘jews of germania’ i.e. those jews from the diaspora (sometime during the 1st millennium BCE) that migrated/settled in Europe..

Its true, most of the posters on here don’t even know basic history and ethnology. The least educated and most misinformed are these commies, british israelite and khazar nutters.
