Why aren’t American leaders sounding the very same five alarm fire bell! This is the only time I recall where Europe has united quickly and forcefully for change. I am, frankly, jealous as I feel cuckolded by the Dems and castrated by the GOP.
Because of CWC-violating novichok-brainrot hybrid warfare FRAUD:
“..government deploys new types of chemical weapons, intended to make the rebels docile…”
““Such high-tech weapons systems will be comparable in effect to nuclear weapons,”
Putin said in an essay published in Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the Russian government’s newspaper of record, “but will be more ‘acceptable’ in terms of political and military ideology.””
“..Mirzayanov was in a position to know the harm being visited upon his fellow citizens.”
French Senator Malhuret's analysis and comments are precise and uncompromising. The new world order of great powers which is not only accepted by Trump but is being accelerated by his actions creates a danger which the populace does not, will not, or cannot acknowledge. Trump has withdrawn critical intelligence support from Ukraine. How much intelligence about Ukrainian positions on the battlefield is Trump now sharing with Putin? Senator Malhuret is correct. Trump wants to see Ukraine lose this war and is catalyzing the destruction of not only the United States but also the destruction of world order.
Not to mention that by ending the sharing of US intelligence with Ukraine, Trump is essentially giving a green light for the assassination of Zelensky. A credible report said that, under Biden administration, the US alerted Zelensky to several assassination plots and thus saved his life.
“Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them.”
In 1917, when the American Expeditionary Force landed in France in time to help halt the last great German push, their cry was, “Lafayette, we are here!” In the wake of George Washington’s admonition to refrain from involving ourselves in two millennia of European self-destruction, it was the first time that American soldiers had returned to the Old World in order to help help repel an aggressor from within. Granted, it had taken the infamous Zimmerman Telegram to finally force us to act, but we did, enough of us finally understanding that the world had become too small to allow rogue nations to do whatever they wanted on other nations’ ground. Having done so, however, we again retreated behind our ocean barrier, refusing to agree to a League of Nations.
The perhaps understandable but nonetheless disastrous Versailles Treaty, the effects of the Great Depression, and the rise of Communism spreading out from Russia combined to bring us WWII, and again we had to be dragged, kicking and screaming into it. And at the end, however, haunted by the vast number of dead and the incomprehensivle destruction, and terrified by the lessons of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the world began to realize that another such spasm of lunacy might well doom us all ‘that dark night’. So the world got together and created the United Nations, and the Atlantic community created NATO when it became clear that the Stalinist distortion of Marxism had designs on the rest of Europe and Africa outside her borders. And the combination gave us three quarters of a century of a restless peace from anything like WWII.
Now one terribly flawed man, backed by millions of Americans who seem to have no sense of the awful risk his lunacy portends has taken that understanding and eviscerated it in much the same way as his co-regent is eviscerationg our government
Europe is self immolating. Ingesting anti-western, anti-democratic Islamists and protecting their sharia demands at the expense of their own citizens. Europe is throttling the speech and intimidating their own citizens. Even those who silently pray in so called buffer zones. Europe bears little of its security investment while piously strangling its citizens with a regulatory jailhouse. Europe’s populists are rising up powerfully and quickly. Everywhere. Europe is the problem and its own citizens will tell you so. The failure of Brussels is becoming untenable. Little wonder these self inflicted wounds have its incumbent leaders shrieking in terror. The sanitary deconstruction of its component members’ national pride, culture, and identity is being reversed. Trump didn’t do that. He is but part of the overturn of globalism everywhere.
Thats buying into Putin and Trumps propaganda. But anyway, agree or not, that does not justify joining forces with the aggressor and overturning alliances. I never expected much from the so called greatest democracy etc. but this amount of cowardice and stupidity was hard to imagine
Trump is that rich, obnoxious drunk who stumbles into the neighborhood bar where everyone is gathered just trying to unwind and enjoy time together. He’s already been drinking for half the day and he already has a snootful. Bartender serves him just to avoid the hassle so then this inebriated fool stumbles around the floor, slopping his drink on some, hitting others and generally making an ass out of himself. Everyone wishes he’d just leave but even the bouncers don’t want trouble so they do nothing. Pretty soon people begin to get up and leave, making it clear that they understand that one obnoxious drunk means more to management than all the other patrons combined.
How long will that business with that one obnoxious patron(even though he’s rich)be able to keep the doors open? Our “business” is in trouble and our bouncers have lost their muscle. Oh well……..don’t say it was great while it lasted, cry and moan. Just chalk it up to another good idea gone bad.
I’m in agreement with this assessment. He mentions China’s impending invasion of Taiwan. The waters between China and Taiwan are turbulent and difficult to cross-most of the year. In April and October, the currents and wind strength subside, relatively speaking, and are the least risky to cross with an invasion fleet. So, I expect China to invade and occupy Taiwan by the end of April. Other than some tough sounding rhetoric, Krasnov won’t do anything significant to stop the Chinese invasion.
I’m glad to see that someone has the voice to say that Europe has been relying heavily on others for to long. It’s time for Europe to join together and rebuild the unity that will be essential to its future. We have to many times seen allies become enemies. It is time to remember an old adage “United we stand, divided we fall.”
They have expanded the age of conscription in the Ukraine from 16-60. They are running out of soldiers. Countries are verging bankruptcy, who can afford the war. Why should we all sacrifice ourselves for others who benefit from the profits of war. Until an audit is done on where all the money and arms went to it is only prudent to stop and look. If you believe in the war please gather up you family perhaps yourself and volunteer.
Ukrainians are fighting for their existence as a nation. They're getting bombed by Russia on a daily basis. The notion that Zelensky & his government in those circumstances are siphoning off funds to buy yachts or whatever is bizarre. Most of the aid they've received from the U.S. has been in the form of old military equipment, which we would otherwise have to spend money to destroy.
The Baltic states and other European nations understand that Russia is aggressively imperialistic - always has been - and that the Russians would not stop with annexing Ukraine. "Russia's borders end nowhere," said Putin. Kremlin mouthpieces say that Russia is an empire by nature, with a destiny to expand. "Russia is enlarging, like it or not" was a line in a Russian New Year's TV special.
It isn't just about Ukraine. It's about the future of liberal democracy. Trump is siding with predatory autocracy. He clearly thinks Putin should be free to seize whatever territories he wants, just as he wants to seize Canada and Greenland.
Cutting off even the sharing of intelligence with Ukraine is not about being prudent with the nation's resources. It's much more sinister.
Which is why NATO should have confronted Putin head on right away and sent troops into Ukraine and massed forces against the entire Russian border from The Barents Sea to the Black Sea. Ukraine should NEVER have been forced to fight this battle on its own. Putin should never have been permitted to have a single square inch of Ukraine and forced to withdraw from Crimea.
Half measures avail us nothing...
Yes, Putin has nukes but so do we and he depends on the rest of the world "playing nice" and not using them when we should have been threatening mutually assured destruction. His stark choice should have been use nuclear weapons to get his way OR the option of governing a pile of rubble.
As it is the West has agreed to fight Putin down to the last Ukrainian. What we have done is taught Putin that he can muster a subpar war effort and still end up getting what he wants making future incursions west so much more likely.
“General Sir Nick Carter, the head of the UK armed forces, described the risk to nations like the UK if attacks in the grey zone go unchallenged.”
“..government deploys new types of chemical weapons, intended to make the rebels docile…”
““Such high-tech weapons systems will be comparable in effect to nuclear weapons,” Putin said in an essay published in Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the Russian government’s newspaper of record, “but will be more ‘acceptable’ in terms of political and military ideology.””
“..Mirzayanov was in a position to know the harm being visited upon his fellow citizens.”
Thank you for calling attention to this significant speech and for providing a full English translation of it. Many people here in the USA will be interested in this.
So far, our Democrats have been too quiet, too "nice", and too overwhelmed and confused or timid to mount a meaningful response to Trump and his gang. They keep trying to play the game of politics as usual rather than rising to the dangerous threat that is arising to destroy our democracy and our country.
I hope the full meaning of the speech will be embraced in France and the EU and that good choices and actions arise as a result.
Handsome words. The Europeans are pretty good at handsome words. Hopefully this will be followed with handsome deeds in relatively quick time. At least it sounds like the plan is this "coalition of the willing" and not EU action requiring consensus from all members.
It's opposite, meaning a predatory autocracy like Russia? That's evidently what Trump wants. How has it worked out for the average Russian? Even Russia's vaunted military has struggled against that of a much smaller country, while sustaining massive casualties. Russian soldiers have looted ordinary household goods from Ukrainian homes because they didn't have those things in Russia.
Trump isn't trying to rectify flaws in our system. He's acting from historical ignorance and the warped worldview that arises from his malignant narcissism. He obviously admires Putin's lawless rule and his "savvy genius" in taking over neighboring countries. He wants to be like Putin.
This isn't a case of an empire rising and falling because of "contradictions and flaws." It's the deranged and malignant choices mostly of one person, supported by cheerleaders who've been imbibing Kremling propaganda against Westnern liberal democracy.
One minor point: I've learned that our system has more "contradictions and flaws" than I ever thought it did. Trump et al have certainly tested and exploited those.
Yeah, there's certainly something to be said for that story. And it may well hold some water. But I'm not entirely sure, many others are in the same boat, that that isn't a case of the pot calling the kettle black. There's quite a history of Western imperialism engaged in some “raping and pillaging” of their own for some less than edifying ”reasons”.
The rise and fall of empires (and the US has never been a proper empire) is usually driven by economics. I really do believe that Trump & Co. are aware that the economic collapse (apocalypse?) is coming and they want to plunder as much as they can before it does. I have no doubt that Elon Musk's security detail is probably better and more professional than Trump's Secret Service.
I know that Republicans are already operating under the assumption that there will never be another free and fair election and so their choices are EITHER pretend that they have a meaningful part in governing a nation OR they can roll with Trump and cash in while they can. The choice they have made is already clear.
Democrats are left holding little signs of protest and virtue signaling that they are on "The right side of history" and daily become more and more irrelevant.
Why aren’t American leaders sounding the very same five alarm fire bell! This is the only time I recall where Europe has united quickly and forcefully for change. I am, frankly, jealous as I feel cuckolded by the Dems and castrated by the GOP.

Yes. This should have ended quickly, with the return of 2013 borders and Putin in the Hague.
