Zero Hour 23 Feb 2022
It’s begun. Full scale invasion starting with cyber attacks and APC’s accompanied by Armor. I’ve heard reports (unconfirmed) of airborne drops. Sounds a lot like our invasion of Iraq and will probably have similar results. Meaning, they will take the country pretty handily. The problems will come in “winning the peace.” If the Ukrainians are serious about their freedoms, they can start up one hell of an insurgency.
The bigger question is will Putin stop with Ukraine or will he move against the former satellite states of the USSR? Because most of them are now NATO members and an attack on them will trigger an Article 5 response from us. Cold War turns hot. Maybe nuclear? I personally don’t think that Biden has the ummm “testicular fortitude” to go there. But if he cannot, does NATO itself then crater? Because in essence WE are “NATO.”
There’s another wrinkle. It turns out that currently Russia controls the UN Security Council and has effectively neutered any response from the overall organization. Somebody explain to me the wisdom of having The Evil Empire involved in an organization supposedly dedicated to world peace and involved in a leadership role?
Right after the USSR “fell” along with East Germany, the American leadership began singing Kumbayah and welcomed Russia into freedom by letting them inside most of our conventional forces and even deployed the FBI to Moscow to make their police better able to “combat the Russian mafia.” I don’t remember if there was an reciprocal actions. I highly doubt that Putin let us get a good look inside his tanks like we let him into ours. I hope we’re videoing their order of battle because that’s exactly how they will roll across the Fulda Gap and right into Germany.
In the meantime, I’ll bet that with Russia’s tacit approval, China takes Taiwan. So what happens if China and Russia form up as a team? That’s a downright BIBLICALLY scary thought.
ALL of this can be laid right at the feet of WEAK AMERICAN LEADERSHIP. We have the ability to crush both Russia and China economically IF our private energy sector is unleashed. Which Biden and the Democrats will never do. This is because their priorities are American destruction not American preservation.
