PUTIN'S WAR
Russian President Vladimir Putin
Threatens nuclear war
Threatens Finland and Sweden
The present situation is like the Iraq invasion of Kuwait in 1990.
But this time, there is no Margaret Thatcher, no George Bush (Sr.), and no Gorbachev.
Russia, the U.S., the U. K. and Germany expected a quick Russian take-over of the Ukraine. The US offered to evacuate
the Ukrainian president the day before the invasion. The Ukrainian president asked for planes and other weapons instead. The
U. S. promised planes - but failed to deliver. The U. S. refused to enforce a No-Fly Zone over the Ukraine.

Yes, I called it genocide. It has become clearer and clearer that Putin is just trying to wipe out the idea of even being
- being able to be Ukrainian. And the amount - the evidence is mounting . . . And we'll let the lawyers decide internationally
whether or not it qualifies, but it sure seems that way to me.

More than 100,000 civilians, including many women and children, are trapped in the bombed ruins of the port city of Mariupol.
About one thousand civilians are sheltering under the city steel works, which the Russians are hitting with block-buster
bombs.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has appealed for a four-day humanitarian truce during Orthodox Easter.
More than 1,000 Ukrainian troops and foreign volunteers are holding out in the steel works. They are running out of ammunition
and medicine. Five hundred soldiers are wounded.
The Ukraine is trying to arrange with Russia the evacuation of civilians from Mariupol and safe passage for Ukrainian
and allied soldiers to a third country.
Ukraine holds captive Putin's best friend, a Russian oligarch, and might exchange him for the evacuation of soldiers and
civilians from Mariupol.

The Story of NATO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zfg2jnhYAHU
Many warned that NATO expansion would provoke Putin.
That may have been true.
That is water under the bridge.
It is a whole new game now.
There might be other Putins in the future. Ukraine will join the European Union. Ukraine must join NATO.
NO FLY ZONE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWRSjNiTYBE
A NO FLY ZONE over the Ukraine means
1. intercepting Russian planes that enter the zone
2. shooting down Russian missiles that fly into the zone
But Joe Biden and his secretaries are afraid to confront Putin.
They fear that Putin will launch nuclear missiles at the Ukraine, the EU and the USA.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY8fQsKpoMM
The sooner the better
The Russians must be expelled from the UNSC.
NATO, EU and UNO peace-keeping forces are required in the Ukraine immediately.
They will have to go into the Ukraine eventually. The sooner the better.
NATO, EU and UNO must enforce a No-Fly Zone over the Ukraine. They will have to do so eventually. The sooner the better.
Su-29s and F-35s are required.

Better to fight the Russians now in the Ukraine and on the Russian border than fight them later in Romania, Poland, the
Baltic, Cuba and Venezuela.
Covert action is required
A No-Fly Zone over the Ukraine must be imposed, Russian convoys must be destroyed, Russian missile batteries on the Russian
side of the border must be knocked out
Russians might deploy tactical nuclear field weapons.
Russians must be fully disarmed.

The Russian steamroller now controls almost all of the Luhansk region - BBC News, 26 May 2022
Ukrainian soldiers are vastly out-numbered.
Arms from allies will not reach front lines in sufficient quantity before September.
The UN rescued Kuwait from Saddam Hussein in 1991.
Why not rescue the Ukraine from Putin now?
Expel Russia from the UN Security Council, neutralise China, and send a UN task force to Ukraine to push the Russians
out. Enforce a No-Fly Zone over Ukraine. Install anti-missile systems in Ukraine. Knock out Russian missile bases across the
border in Russia. Drive the Russians from the Black Sea or bottle them up and corner them.
Giving up land for a truce will only invite the Russians to return for more.
Might as well reclaim the Crimea.

The current geographical and political borders of the Ukraine were unchanged from 1940 to the present.
The Crimean Peninsula was added to the Ukraine by the USSR in 1954. The Crimea was taken by the Russians sixty years later
in 2014.
Many like to recall that Joe Biden was in the White House as vice-president when the Russians took the Crimea from the
Ukraine and invaded part of the Donbas.

Henry Kissinger was born in Bavaria in May 1923. With the US Army in Germany in WW2 (Battle of the Bulge, etc.) Harvard
College. Foreign policy advisor to Nelson Rockefeller. National Security Advisor to President Richard Nixon. US Secretary
of State under Presidents Nixon and Gerald Ford. Arranged Nixon s meeting with Chao En-lai and Mao Tse-tung. Negotiated a
peace with North Vietnam. Began detente and SALT with the Soviet Union. Nobel Peace Prize in 1973.
Kissinger on the Ukraine:
It looks like WW1. Negotiation is desirable. A cease-fire line should be drawn where the war started. Russia should not
gain anything from the war . . . I would deplore it greatly . . . Ukraine cannot give up territory that it had when the war
started because that would be symbolically dangerous for NATO . . .

30 December 2022
The next Ukrainian counter-attack, expected in 2023.
Five possibilities:
Kherson, Melitopol, Mariupol, Donetsk, and Luhansk.
The Ukraine does not have enough soldiers for an attack in the Kherson region or an attack on Mariupol.
Only two are possible without severe losses - Luhansk / Kharkiv and Melitopol. Donetsk and the Donbas are well defended
by the Russians.
Luhansk / Kharkhiv is the most likely area of the next attack.

Will Russians invade Moldova?
Is Russia plotting a coup in Moldova?
Text with upload:
Moldova was the first country after the collapse of the Soviet Union in which Russia supported separatists, provoking
a bloody war that lasted for several months in 1992.
The result was a frozen conflict, with pro-Moscow forces ruling Transnistria, a narrow strip of land in the east of Moldova
that is home to many Russian speakers, for more than three decades.
About 2,000 Russian soldiers are still stationed there.

OFFICIAL DATE OF ORTHODOX CHRISTMAS IN THE UKRAINE CHANGED
In the West, most Christians (Roman Catholics and Protestants) follow the Gregorian calendar and celebrate Christmas on
25 December.
In the East, most Orthodox Christians follow the Julian calendar and celebrate Christmas on 7 January.
The Russian Orthodox Church celebrates Christmas on 7 January.
The Orthodox Church of the Ukraine has broken with this tradition. It will follow the Gregorian calendar instead of the
Julian calendar.
The Ukrainian Parliament passed a bill to make the change on 14 July.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed the bill into law on 28 July.
The Day of Ukrainian Statehood is moved from 28 July to 15 July.
Defenders' Day - commemorating veterans of the armed forces - is moved from 14 October to 1 October.
Some Orthodox Ukrainians will continue to celebrate Christmas on 7 January. Others will celebrate Christmas on 25 December.

Yevgeny Prigozhin
Posts recruitment video for his Wagner mercenary army
ABC News Australia
22 August 2023
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5GwZZxfh6Y
Yevgeny Prigozhin and Dmitri Utkin killed in plane crash
Kuzhenkino, Bologovsky District, Tver Oblast
Progozhin's private plane was en route from Moscow to St. Petersburg
23 August 2023
Prigozhin was a Russian businessman from St. Petersburg.
Prigozhin enjoyed the patronage of Vladimir Putin, who is also from St. Petersburg, since Putin's days in the St. Petersburg
government and the Boris Yeltsin Russian government in the 1990s.
Utkin was a Russian army veteran and one of the leaders of the Russian revolt in the Donbas region of Ukraine.
Prigozhin and Utkin were the founders and leaders of a large private military company (PMC), made up mostly of mercenaries
and prison convicts.
The name of the PMC was Wagner, after the call sign of Utkin. Utkin chose the name for the 19th-century German composer
Richard Wagner because he was the favourite composer of Adolf Hitler, leader of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945.
The Wagner PMC were the toughest and most successful of Russian troops in the war with Ukraine.
Wagner retook the town of Bakhmut from the Ukrainians in May after months of fierce fighting and high losses.
Prigozhin complained that the top Russian military leaders
- Sergei Shoigu, Minister of Defence, Valery Gerasimov, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces - were obstructing
deliveries of munitions to his troops.
Fed up with the situation, Prigozhin led thousands of his troops in a march on Moscow from their base in Ukraine in June.
Prigozhin intended to apprehend Shoigu and Gerasimov.
Prigozhin and his troops drove through Rostov-on-Don and passed Voronezh.
Prigozhin halted the march less than 200 k. from Moscow after reaching an agreement with the Kremlin.
Prigozhin complained that Russian military leaders -
Shoigu and Gerasimov - invaded Ukraine to enrich themselves and misled the Kremlin and the public about the war.
Prigozhin maintained that the Russians were accomplishing nothing in Ukraine and should get out of it.
Prigozhin became a hero to many Russians.
Prigozhin and Utkin were on a private business jet, owned by Prigozhin, en route from Moscow to St. Petersburg. The plane
was at 28,000 feet when there was a loud bang and the plane plummeted to the ground and crashed.
All ten people on board the plane were killed.
There were seven passengers and three crew.
With Prigozhin and Utkin were five top members of the PMC.
The three crew were two pilots and a flight attendant.

A biography about Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson
Elon Musk, Starlink, Russo-Ukraine War
In early 2022, Elon Musk disabled Starlink over Ukraine to prevent a Ukrainian offensive against Russian attackers.
Musk claimed that the Russians would consider the Ukrainian offensive as a provocation and lead to Russian nuclear retaliation
- and World War 3.
Comment by Frank Ledwidge
Actually, Starlink was not operating yet over that region of Ukraine. Musk refused to enable Starlink over Ukraine - for
the same reason.
During that time, Musk was in contact with Putin and the Pentagon.

Elon Musk and Ukraine
BBC News
8 September 2023
Russia invaded and illegally annexed Crimea in 2014.
Eight years later, in February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
SpaceX, in which Elon Musk is the largest shareholder, began providing thousands of Starlink satellite dishes to Ukraine
shortly after Russia launched its assault on Ukraine in February 2022.
Musk:
'There was an emergency request from Ukrainian government authorities to activate Starlink all the way to Sevastopol [the
Russian naval base in Crimea]. The obvious intent being to sink most of the Russian fleet at anchor.'
'If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation.'
Musk said that SpaceX 'did not deactivate anything' because Starlink had not been activated over the Crimea yet.
Russian naval vessels have since launched deadly attacks on civilians in Ukraine.
A Ukrainian government official said:
'By not allowing Ukrainian drones to destroy part of the Russian military fleet, Elon Musk - via Starlink interference
- allowed this fleet to fire Kalibr missiles at Ukrainian cities.'
At the time, Musk also said that Ukrainians and Russians were dying 'to gain and lose small pieces of land' that were
not worth their lives - and called for a truce.
Musk provoked anger last year (2022) when he proposed a plan to end the war by formally recognising Crimea as part of
Russia.
Musk suggested residents of regions seized by Russia in February 2022 vote on which country they want to be part of.
Russian chess grandmaster and political activist Garry Kasparov said that Musk's plan displayed 'moral idiocy'.
In October 2022, Musk told the press that Taiwan should become a special administrative zone of China.

Russians would have left the Ukraine long ago if the Ukrainians had been given the weapons required.
There would be no war in the Ukraine.
Western countries promised weapons but never delivered. Many defective items were delivered. Arms were delivered without
ammunition. Useless obsolete weapons were provided.
If the Ukraine had modern long-range missiles and anti-missiles, the Russians would not dare bomb the Ukraine.
The persons in the West who are responsible for this lamentable situation are in the pay of Russia.

UKRAINIAN CONSCRIPTION
A blog by Simon Saradzhyan
11 Jan. 2024
If Ukraine can afford maintaining the additional troops in its fighting force is an open question
Mobilized conscripts in Ukraine are to be paid 6,000 hryvnia ($157) per month in 2024. If they are deployed in the combat
zone, but are not engaged in actual fighting, then they are to be paid 30,000 hryvnia ($784) a month. If they are involved
in combat on the actual frontline, then they are to be paid 100,000 hryvnia ($2,616) a month, according to Ukrainian media.
Thus, if all 500,000 additional conscripts are actually sent to fight, then Ukraine will have to spend $15.7 billion on
salaries alone every year (unless casualties are not replaced).
One also needs to keep in mind that Ukraine will also have to spend sizeable sums to train, equip and feed each of the
conscripts once they have reported for duty, as well as provide treatment to those injured and compensation to families of
those that are killed.
Thus, Zelenskyy ' s recent estimate that a mobilization of 500,000 could cost $13 billion is not unreasonable.
In my view, a country counting on the West to plug this year ' s projected budget deficit of $43 billion and which has
a defense budget of $46 billion can hardly afford such a sum, unless its foreign donors decide to re-boost aid to Kyiv, perhaps,
beyond 2023 levels, which is doubtful.
Who could be conscripted to fight in Ukraine?

CONSCRIPTION IN RUSSIA
Comment by Simon Newton, writing for Forces News, a British website, on 25 January 2024:
How much are Russian soldiers being paid to fight Putin's war?
. . . The starting wage for men who sign up, usually for three years, is 160,000 roubles a month ($1,792), which in Russia
is seen as a good salary.
The entire article:
https://www.forces.net/russia/what-are-russian-soldiers-being-paid-fight-putins-war
It would appear that Russian soldiers are paid more than Ukrainian soldiers.
If so, that is not much incentive to join the army in Ukraine.
Ukraine should offer more. Ukraine should up army pay to levels considerably higher than Russian army pay.
Then Ukraine will get all the soldiers it needs to run the Russians out of the country.
Whatever it costs, Ukraine should get the money, from the U. S. or E. U. The U. S. can give large amounts of money, arms,
ammunition through various covert programs, by-passing Congress.

How to evade sanctions
There has been a steep increase in exports from the UK to counties neighbouring Russia since the Ukraine war began of
materials that are subject to sanctions.
Exports from the UK to Kyrgyzstan rose by 1,100 per cent, led by exports of cars and heavy machinery, which can be used
to produce weapons.
Russian shell companies could be used to get around sanctions.

U. S. MILITARY AID
The bill for $95 billion in foreign military aid passed the U. S. Senate
The bill is now in the U. S. House of Representatives
The bill has been divided into four separate bills, to be voted for or against separately:
1. Military aid for Ukraine of $60.8 billion
2. Military aid for Israel of $26.4 billion
3. Military aid for the Indo - Pacific, mostly for Taiwan, of $8.1 billion
A fourth bill calls for funding aid from seized Russian assets. The aid will be used to rebuild Ukraine and assist the
country to maintain a decent level of prosperity.
The bills that pass the Senate will be put together again, as one bill, and sent to the President for final approval.
It must be remembered that the U. S. Congress would not vote to declare war on Germany and Japan until the Japanese attack
on Pearl Harbor, which was followed by a German declaration of war against the U. S. The American declaration of war, in December
1941, came two years and three months after the Second World War began in Europe, in September 1939.
Biden, Austin, Blinken and many others in Washington are obviously in the pay of Taiwan, Israel and Russia.
Otherwise, Taiwan would be sold off to China.
And the press and politicians, following the greater public, would dump Israel and back the Arab nations.
Thus, the U. S. is an active partner (and more) of Israel in the six-month butchery of Gaza and the growing number of
murders of Palestinian residents in the West Bank.
Thus, too, Palestine is not yet a member of the United Nations. The U. S. opposes statehood and blocks membership.
Thus, the U. S. has prevented Ukraine from defending itself against Russian aerial bombing and a Russian ground offensive.
Russia's agents in Washington have hindered defence of Ukraine by refusing to supply modern fighter jets, which are needed
to knock out Russian raiders, and long-range missiles, which are needed to knock out Russian missile bases hundreds of miles
away. They have even told the Ukrainians not to launch drones against Russia.
Too much money has been wasted in sending obsolete and defective weapons to Ukraine. Leopard 1 tanks are valued for training
purposes. They are no match for the latest Russian equipment.
Biden and Blinken are also in the pay of Ukraine (kickbacks on aid to Ukraine).
Otherwise, Ukraine would be sold to Russia.

The Senate will consider the bill on Tuesday, 23 April 2024.
After the Senate passes the bill, it will be sent to the President, who will sign it.
Arms and ammunition should arrive in Ukraine within the week.
The problem will be ensuring that everything arrives ASAP - not piecemeal, over many months and years. And arrives

It was a mistake to put the aid bill for Israel with the aid bill for Ukraine.
Ukraine is fighting a defensive war.

U. S. SENATE TO PASS MILITARY AID BILL
There are many things wrong with the bill.
Funds for Israel are used to exterminate Palestinians and Bedouins.
Funds for the Ukraine have many strings attached. The U. S. government will get most of the money, to replace the arms
and ammo it sends to Ukraine.
In the U. S. armed forces, mechanics bill the Pentagon $200 for a $2 screwdriver.
$5 to 8 billion of seized Russian assets are to be used to assist the Ukraine to recover its economy and maintain an acceptable
standard of living. That amount is much too small for such purpose.

PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE 2024
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN VS PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
Hosted by CNN, Atlanta, Georgia
27 June 2024
First of two scheduled debates
A well-handled debate. In a TV studio. No crowd.
Trump looked subdued and sounded better than usual.
Biden slurred his beach, sputtered, flipped out and petered out.
For Trump, it was an easy ninety minutes of 'jus' talkin'.
Who won? Trump.
Both men are growing old. Trump might be winding down.
Biden is unlikely to last to the elections.
The press was disappointed with Biden and gave up on him. It will be difficult to carry him much longer.
The Democratic Party will have to field another candidate when - not if - Biden acknowledges reality. The party convention
is in August. Some think they can run Biden's VP, Pamela Harris.

The Battle of Kursk
July 1943
The Battle of Kursk was the last Nazi offensive against the Soviets on the East Front in the Second World War. At Kursk,
the Germans abandoned the offensive and went on the defensive.
Kursk marks the beginning of the long drive west by the Soviets.
The Germans seemed to be winning the battle when Hitler called off the offensive.
In the West, the Allies / the Americans and British had invaded Sicily and were to head north up the boot of Italy.
More German troops were needed in the West to fight the Allied attack.
German troops were taken from Eastern Front and sent to Italy.
The remaining troops in the East went on the defensive and began a long withdrawal and retreat from the East that ended
in Berlin two years later, in May 1945.
Kursk is remembered also as the biggest tank battle in history.

Stoltenberg suggests Ukraine could be granted NATO membership even with territories occupied by Russia
By Daria Shulzhenko and the Kyiv Independent news desk
October 5, 2024 11:13 AM
Ukraine could potentially join NATO even if parts of its territory remained occupied by Russia, the alliance's former
Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in an interview on Oct. 4.
One of the main arguments against granting Ukraine membership at the current time is that NATO's Article 5 mutual defense
clause would immediately draw the alliance into a direct war with Russia.
But speaking to the Financial Times, Stoltenberg suggested there could be ways to get around this if the Ukrainian territory
considered part of NATO was "not necessarily the internationally recognized border."
"When there is a will, there are ways to find the solution. But you need a line which defines where Article 5 is
invoked, and Ukraine has to control all the territory until that border," he said.
As of late August, Russia was in control of around 27% of Ukrainian territory, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts are partially occupied by Russian troops. Russia claims to have annexed
the whole territory of those regions despite not controlling two regional capitals - Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. Moscow
also controls all of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula.
Stoltenberg drew on historical and current examples to illustrate that certain compromises or security guarantees could
be made to ensure Ukraine's protection.
"West Germany regarded East Germany as part of the bigger Germany. They didn't have an embassy in East Berlin. But
NATO was, of course, only protecting West Germany," he said.
"Again, it is always very dangerous to compare because no parallels are 100 percent correct, but the U.S. has security
guarantees to Japan. But they don't cover the Kuril (Islands), which Japan regards as Japanese territory, controlled by Russia."
Ukraine applied for NATO membership in September 2022 but has yet to receive a formal invitation.
Despite high expectations in Kyiv, the last two allied summits brought only new steps toward deepening Ukraine-NATO cooperation
and a declaration that the country's membership path is "irreversible."
Earlier on Oct. 1, however, FT reported, citing an unnamed Western official, that U.S. President Joe Biden may agree to
advance the status of Ukraine's NATO membership bid before leaving office in January.
Zelensky presented his five-point victory plan to Biden at the White House on Sept. 26. The plan includes military and
diplomatic components, including Ukraine's invitation to join NATO, but the full details of the peace framework have not yet
been publicized.
According to the information obtained by the Kyiv Independent, Kyiv had planned to ask for NATO membership within the
months, not years.
In his recent interview with FT, Stoltenberg also said that Ukraine's allies should have supplied the country with more
arms before the full-scale invasion started to prevent it.
"If there's anything I, in a way, regret and see much more clearly now is that we should have provided Ukraine with
much more military support much earlier," he said.

RUSSIA IS STEADILY GAINING GROUND IN ITS OFFENSIVE IN THE EAST.
IS RUSSIA PREPARING A COUNTER-OFFENSIVE IN KURSK?
DOES RUSSIA PLAN TO ATTACK ACROSS THE UKRAINIAN BORDER INTO SUMY AND KHARKHIV?
ACCORDING TO VARIOUS REPORTS, THERE ARE 8,000 TO 50,000 RUSSIAN TROOPS IN KURSK AT PRESENT, INCLUDING OR NOT INCLUDING
8,000 TO 12,000 NORTH KOREAN SOLDIERS.
ACCORDING TO THE UKRAINIANS, THEY HAVE RECEIVED ONLY 10 PER CENT OF THE ARMS THAT WERE PROMISED TO THEM FOR 2024 BY THE
AMERICANS.
THE UKRAINIANS WILL NEED MANY ALLIED TROOPS TO HOLD BACK THE RUSSIANS AND TO RECOVER OCCUPIED LAND.
THE U. S. AND NATO MIGHT IGNORE THE MATTER AND WATCH A DISASTER FROM AFAR.
OR THEY MUST FIGHT ANOTHER KOREAN WAR, THIS TIME IN EUROPE. THEY WILL NEED ANOTHER INCHON LANDING, TO PUSH THE RUSSIANS
AND KOREANS OUT OF UKRAINE QUICKLY AND COMPLETELY.
THEY MUST TAKE A STAND NOW OR PREPARE FOR WAR IN THE BALKANS AND THE BALTICS LATER.

MUMBO JUMBO
TRUTH OR FAKE
Biden permits Ukrainian use of ATACMS to strike inside Russia.
Too little too late.
Is it just a publicity stunt, for Biden to cover his ass against accusations of cowardice?
Does Biden expect Trump, another appeaser, to cancel the permit?
The U. S. is involved every step of the way - in the planning of a strike to final authorisation of the strike.
Ukraine fired six to eight missiles. Russia knocked down two to five of them.
Ukraine has only fifty ATACMS. Needs many more.
How many missiles is the U. S. promising Ukraine?
Will the missiles ever be delivered?
