J          “Putin is desperate.”

K          “Biden is desperate.  The speakers yesterday proclaimed a word that has almost been expunged from the American lexicon – peace.  And look at his latest desperate theatrical antic.  The puppet flies to meet the marionette.”

. . .

K          “Russia is subtly and methodically winning the ‘economic war’ and is slowly and patiently winning the ‘kinetic war’ and ceaselessly and unrelentingly losing the ‘propaganda war’ . . . at this time.  The unprovoked Western sanctions are destructive and counterproductive.  The truth is emerging.  The West is very, very slowly unraveling.”

J          “The West will prevail.”

. . .

K          “One of the tectonic shifts on the journey from illusionment to disillusionment was the gradual realization that the United States of America since 1945 was not the world’s policeman as I was directed in grammar school . . . it is the world’s bully.  After that realization was confirmed by a thousand historical footnotes, nothing is or can ever be the same.”

J          “Policemen need to be bullies at times.”

. . .

K          “The bourse is the battlefield; the battlefield is the bourse.  The PetroDollar is supported by violence; the violence is funded by the PetroDollar.  The de-dollarization efforts may not dethrone the PetroDollar, but little by little they are moving the PetroDollar to a highchair at a table with other currencies.”

J          “Some two-party commercial transactions are being undertaken without the PetroDollar.  However, the PetroDollar still has a long shelf life and a long half-life.  For better and for worse.” 

. . .   

K          “Biden will instigate a false flag event to go nuclear.”

J          “Putin will instigate a false flag event to go nuclear.”

. . .

K          “Biden’s war is not going to end well.”

J          “Putin’s war is not going to end well.”

Bumper stickers of the week:

“The other thing I will say is that the war didn’t start in February last year.  The war started in 2014.  And since 2014, NATO Allies have provided support to Ukraine, with training, with equipment, so the Ukrainian Armed Forces were much stronger in 2022, than they were in 2020, and 2014.  And of course, that made a huge difference when President Putin decided to attack Ukraine.”  NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg

“They’ve lost strategically, they’ve lost operationally and, I repeat, they’ve lost tactically.  . . .  What they’ve tried to do, they’ve failed at.  The strategic reframing of their objectives, of their illegal invasion, have all failed, every single one of them.”  Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark A. Milley

Counting Battered Bodies Badly.  Oh, And Happy Valentine’s Day! (February 13, 2023)

K          “The ‘New York Times’ asserts that 200,000 Russian troops have been killed and wounded.  The editors hope and wish and dream that 200,000 of their fellow human beings have been killed and wounded.  I researched the available sources and am really troubled by the number.  Perhaps about 30,000 – 40,000 Russian troops have been killed and wounded.  The unfounded NYT’s allegation is part of the ‘Retreating to Moscow’ Narrative and not the ‘Advancing to Paris’ Narrative.  Tomorrow, they will advance the ‘Advancing to Paris’ Narrative.”

J          “The West will prevail.  The ‘New York Times’ and the ‘Washington Post’ are two of the pillars of the government information machine.  They are doing their job and their part.  So there you have it.”

. . .

K          “And the NYT said that the sabotage of the Nord Stream Pipeline was a ‘mystery’ when it is clear to all right thinking folks who choreographed the terrorist attack.  Do these people have no dignity or integrity?”

J          “The West will prevail.  The ‘New York Times’ and the ‘Washington Post’ are two of the pillars of the government information machine.  They are doing their job and their part.  So there you have it.”

. . .

K          “The NYT markets itself as the first draft of history.  I doubt future historians will be taught and more importantly doubt that they will be rewarded for doubting everything written in and by the NYT.  Every statement must be consumed cum grano salis.”

J          “The West will prevail.  The ‘New York Times’ and the ‘Washington Post’ are two of the pillars of the government information machine.  They are doing their job and their part.  So there you have it.  End of discussion.”

Bumper stickers of the week:

“Washington – The number of Russian troops killed and wounded in Ukraine is approaching 200,000, a stark symbol of just how badly President Vladimir V. Putin’s invasion has gone, according to American and other Western officials.”  ‘The New York Times’, February 2, 2023.

Russia:  Advancing To Paris; Retreating To Moscow (December 5, 2022)

Posted in NATO, Propoganda, Russia, World War E, World War III on December 5, 2022 by e-commentary.org

. . .

K          “The propaganda machine occasionally spews what appears to be inconsistent messages.  According to one propagandist, the Russians are advancing to Paris.  According to another propagandist, the Russians are retreating to Moscow.  Perhaps a little inconsistent, someone might observe.”

J          “They are consistent.  The first message is designed to inculcate fear.  The second message is designed to instill hope.  They are all plays on emotion.  They are all part of the plan.”

K          “And nothing is designed to inspire thought and reflection.”

J          “By design, that is not the way it works.”

Existential Threat + Existential Threat = World War.  Are We Mired In World War E[conomic] / World War III? (November 21, 2022)

Posted in World War E, World War III on November 21, 2022 by e-commentary.org

. . .

K          “No question.”

J          “That is the answer.”

. . .

K          “The U.S. seeks to depose Putin and to dismember Russia and to disembowel the Russians.  That is an existential threat to Russia.  That firms one’s resolve.”

J          “Russia is threatening U.S. hegemony over the world for the last 78 years.  That is an existential threat to the U.S.  That firms one’s resolve.”

. . .

K          “The BRICS+ [Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa and others] are seeking to create a freer international economic architecture and a reserve currency based on commodities and possibly precious metals that will undermine and circumvent the PetroDollar and thus the primacy of the U.S.”

J          “The U.S. has been dominant since World War II and is unwilling to relinquish that position.  Using Ukraine and even Europe as expendable pawns in the great scheme is not pretty but may be necessary.”

. . .

K          “Existential Threat + Existential Threat = World War.  We are in World War E[conomic] / World War III.  It can only get more kinetic.”

J          “It can only get really really really horrible.”
