Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Great wars always seem to hinge on obscure places. The end of the Putin War on Ukraine—or at least a cease fire—may rest upon Zaporizhzhia a metropolis of 700,000 people. Just because you may not have heard of it before does not make it unimportant.
Plans to deploy Tomahawks to Ukraine will only reveal America’s weakness.
The Ukrainian Army looks much like the German Army in the closing months of World War II. And yet, the military-congressional-industrial complex is making good money.
In the movie Wargames, the computer which replaced humans in decision-taking for nuclear attacks, War Operation Plan Response, or WOPR, runs a bunch of simulations in the end and finally says, “An interesting game. The only winning move is not to play.”
John Bolton needs to watch that movie.
My site noted, four days ago, that there were roughly 3,000 North Korean troops ‘undergoing training at military bases in eastern Russia’, and that John Kirby, a spokesman for the National Security Council, said those troops would become “legitimate military targets” if they should be used in the Russo-Ukrainian War. Now those troops aren’t quite …
With the presidential election only twelve days away, this story is not getting nearly as much traction as it should have. From The Washington Post: North Korean troops are in Russia, would be ‘legitimate targets’ in Ukraine, U.S. says Citing newly declassified intelligence, the Biden administration said that at least 3,000 personnel are undergoing combat …
We noted, just a couple of days ago, that American newspapers were starting to go all-out neoconservative in wanting to expand American and NATO involvement in the Russo-Ukrainian War. The Philadelphia Inquirer’s chief warmonger, Trudy Rubin, wants NATO to take in Ukraine, saying: This is the moment when NATO members, led by Biden, should be …
I have said it before: There has been a whole lot of World War II thinking applied to the Russo-Ukraine War — or perhaps I should call it Russo-Ukraine War 2.0, considering Russia’s seizure and annexation of part of Ukraine in 2014 — with the logic that pushed the United Kingdom and France to declare war …
In the shocking carnage alongtheu road to Kiev, one vehicle stood out, emblazoned with white, spray painted letters: “WOLVERINES.”
Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) served in the United States Navy, and his military record, via Wikipedia, is shown at the right. Not in combat himself, he nevertheless saw what happened to our soldiers and Marines in the meatgrinder that was Fallajuh. Bill Kristol, born on December 23, 1952, is the son of Irving Kristol, who …
I always expect the neoconservatives like Bill Kristol, Max Boot and Jennifer Rubin, none of whom ever met a war in which they did not want American involvement, to be pushing to fight, fight, fight, but I’ll admit to some to surprise in seeing Salon’s Amanda Marcotte going full-neocon! Zelenskyy visit exposes a GOP rift …
The argument is always the same: “if we don’t do this now, it will harm American security in the future.” If only people realized that what we are doing now is already harming American security! From The Philadelphia Inquirer: If they win, MAGA Republicans will push to abandon Ukraine and harm U.S. security. GOP candidates, …
At the risk of being called a Putin stooge, a traitor, a Russian apologist, et al, or worse, here goes. Why has the President of the United States been constantly threatening nuclear war for the last few months?
There is no doubt the Ukrainian military has made some spectacular gains in recent weeks. But predictions of a Ukrainian victory in this conflict are premature and may even be a bit naive. After watching Putin operate over the past couple of decades, it’s pretty clear that unless he is removed from power by his …
Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, after having said that Russia was (then) the biggest geopolitical threat facing the United States, then-President Barack Hussein Obama, in their third presidential debate, hit back: A few months ago, when you were asked what’s the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia. Not al Qaeda. You …
The Pentagon refused to facilitate Poland’s offer of MiG-29s to Ukraine in March due to fears the move would escalate tensions with Russia, drawing the U.S. into a hot war with a nuclear power. But the latest leaks from U.S. intelligence officials to the media suggest our involvement is already much deeper than previously thought. On Wednesday, …
