WORLD AT WAR: 2.18.23 - Nukes Or NATO Troops

The West Will Need To Use Either Nukes Or NATO Troops To Stop The Russian Advances In Ukraine- by Michael Snyder - http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/the-west-will-need-to-use-either-nukes-or-nato-troops-to-stop-the-russian-advances-in-ukraine/ The new Russian offensive appears to have begun, and in recent days the Russians have been steadily gaining ground in several key areas of eastern Ukraine. Things seem tobe going particularly well for the Russians in the northern part of eastern Ukraine. A breakthrough seems to be developing, and it is being reported that the Ukrainians are preparing to establish �a new line of defense outside Kharkiv�. The Russians have clearlygained the upper hand in the conflict, and that has extremely serious implications. Prior to these new advances, the conflict in Ukraine had mostly been an artillery duel for several months. And even though the western powers have been trying to provide the Ukrainians with sufficient ammunition, the Russians have been able to fire far more rounds each day� Ukraine�s armed forces are firing some 6,000 artillery shells a day, far faster than their Western allies can resupply them. Russia is using as much as 20,000 rounds a day, equivalent to what European factories can produce in a month. Some experts claim that the disparity between the two sides is even larger. In any event, everyone agrees that the Ukrainians are hurting for ammo while the Russians just continue to relentlessly pound them. And now we are learning that the Biden administration has decided not to send Army Tactical Missile Systems to Ukraine because the U.S. military �is concerned it wouldn�thave enough for itself�� The Biden administration has given its Ukrainian counterparts another reason for not sending them much-wanted long-range missiles: The U.S. is concerned it wouldn�t have enoughfor itself. In recent meetings at the Pentagon, U.S. officials told Kyiv�s representatives that it doesn�t have any Army Tactical Missile Systems to spare, according to four people withknowledge of the talks. Transferring ATACMS to the battlefield in eastern Europe would dwindle America�s stockpiles and harm the U.S. military�s readiness for a future fight, the people said. Ukraine has put up a stiff fight, but now the writing is on the wall. The original Ukrainian Army that existed at the beginning of the war is almost totally gone at this point. The Ukrainians were able to replace them with an even bigger force by literally dragging Ukrainian men off the street and by hiring vast throngs of foreign mercenaries. And I will give you just one guess as to where the money to pay for all of those mercenaries came from. At this point, Ukraine is running out of men to forcibly recruit, and they are also running out of foreign mercenaries stupid enough to be sent to the meat grinder in easternUkraine. Meanwhile, the Russians have gathered a force that is far larger than they originally used to invade Ukraine. So the tide has turned, and at this point even mainstream news outlets in the U.S. are starting to grudgingly admit that �Russia is winning�� USA Today raised some eyebrows when it deviated from the usual narrative by acknowledging �little by little� Russia is winning the ground war in a pivotal area of Ukraine,citing a quote given by a pro-Ukraine spokeswoman. The admission was in relation to the battle for the city of Bakhmut in Ukraine�s eastern Donbas region. Sending Ukraine a few dozen tanks is not going to help. If the western powers intend to be victorious in Ukraine, they will either need to commit NATO troops, or they will have to use tactical nukes against Russians troops in easternUkraine. Of course either option will almost certainly mean full-blown nuclear war. Needless to say, we are already dangerously close to nuclear annihilation. After the world learned that it was actually the Biden administration that blew up the Nord Streampipelines, the Russians decided to send a message by flying four military aircraft off the coast of Alaska� Four Russian aircraft were detected and intercepted over the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone on Monday in what NORAD called a �routine� incident. Two F-16 fighter jets were dispatched by NORAD to intercept the Russian aircraft, which included a TU-95 BEARH-H and SU-35 fighter jet. And by the way, the Chinese also just sent us a message by sending ships and aircraft alarmingly close to Taiwan� Nearly two dozen Chinese military aircrafts and ships were seen in the Taiwan Strait on Monday morning. According to the country�s defense ministry, there were 18 Chinese army aircrafts and four ships spotted � 11 of which crossed the median line of the contended buffer zone. This comes amid heightened tension in the region � after the US shot down a 200ft Chinese spy balloon that was caught flying across Montana. None of this had to happen. Unfortunately, the Biden administration has made a series of colossal errors over the past two years, and now we stand on the brink of the unthinkable. Just recently, a French historian made headlines all over the globe when he declared that a new �world war� has started� A French historian who accurately predicted the fall of the Soviet Union over a decade in advance says that World War III has already begun as a result of the conflict inUkraine. The comments were made by Emmanuel Todd, one of France�s leading intellectuals, during an interview with the Le Figaro newspaper. �It is evident that the conflict, initially a limited territorial war, has evolved into a global economic confrontation between the whole West on one side, and Russia, backedby China, on the other. It has become a world war,� Todd said. Welcome to the party pal. I told my readers that World War III had begun last February. Thankfully, the nukes have not started flying yet. Because once the nukes start flying, �hundreds of millions of people� will die� Research by Rutgers University experts published in August suggests even a limited nuclear war could trigger global starvation of hundreds of millions of people. Fatalities arising from nuclear winter effects over the months after the war would lead to casualty numbers many times greater than those suffered in the more immediate blast,heat, fires and radiation, it claims. Unfortunately, the Biden administration is not going to change course. Even though we were warned that all of this was coming in advance, the Biden administration refuses to listen to warnings from people like us. So the warmongers in the Biden administration are just going to continue to escalate matters with both Russia and China. This isn�t going to end well, but most of you already knew that. ----------------------------------- Is The U.S. Military Shooting “Alien Aircraft” Out Of The Sky?- by Michael Snyder - http://endoftheamericandream.com/is-the-u-s-military-shooting-alien-aircraft-out-of-the-sky/ The Internet is full of speculation that at least some of the “unidentified objects” that the U.S. military has been shooting out of the sky may be “alien aircraft”. Couldthis be possible? The head of NORAD says that he is not ruling anything out at this point. What we do know is that the balloon that initially created this wave of hysteria did belong to China. The Chinese claim that it was a civilian air balloon that wentoff course, while U.S. authorities are telling us that it was likely a spy balloon. But once the Chinese balloon was shot down, NORAD made “adjustments” to their radar systems, and all of a sudden they noticed a number of other unexplained objects floatingaround. In recent days, three of these “unidentified objects” have been shot down, and right now we do not know what they were. The first “unidentified object” we shot down was floating over Alaska. According to ABC News, the object was “cylindrical and silver-ish gray”… ABC News Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz first reported that when fighters were scrambled, the pilots did visuals, got images and said there was no signthe object had propulsion. It was described as “cylindrical and silver-ish gray” and seemed to be floating, a U.S. official said. That caught my attention right away, because there have been many reports of “cylindrical” UFOs over the years. In addition, it is being reported that the object “was actually interfering with the sensors” of the aircraft that were sent to shoot it down… “When the US first detected this object over Alaska on Thursday, they sent up F-35 jets to … see what was going on,” she explained. “And these pilots reported back very conflictingaccounts”. The pilots of the cutting-edge stealth fighters said “that this object was actually interfering with the sensors of their aircraft and they couldn’t figure out why, becausethere was no identifiable kind of surveillance equipment on the object,” she said. This is a huge red flag. In addition, we are being told that the object appeared to be floating without “any sort of propulsion”… According to Bertrand, the pilots “were saying that they did not see anything on the object that appeared able to propel it, that it seemed like there was no way that thiswas actually able to stay in the air”. It’s possible that in the head of the high-speed, high-altitude encounter the pilots may have misinterpreted the type of aircraft, which was described as being “about thesize of a small car”. A Pentagon official told ABC News that the object was “cylindrical and silver-ish gray” and gave the “balloon-like” appearance of floating without “any sort of propulsion”. Either the Russians or the Chinese have some sort of technology that we currently do not understand, or this object came from an unknown source. Needless to say, either option is quite chilling. The second “unidentified object” we shot down was floating over northern Canada. In this case, the “unidentified object” was also “cylindrical in nature”… A U.S. fighter plane shot down a second unidentified high-altitude object on Saturday in Canadian airspace over Yukon. According to NORAD, the object was first spotted lateFriday night and briefly entered U.S. airspace, at which point two U.S. F-22s were sent to monitor it. It moved into Canadian airspace on Saturday, and President Biden and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau authorized shooting it down. In a Saturday evening news conference, Canadian defense minister Anita Anand said it was flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet and “posed a reasonable threat to the safetyof civilian flight.” She also described it as “potentially similar to the one shot down off the coast of North Carolina though smaller in size and cylindrical in nature.” It is probably likely that the cylindrical object over Alaska and the cylindrical object over northern Canada both originated from the same source. We just need to figure out who sent them. The third “unidentified object” we shot down was floating over the Great Lakes. But this time, the object had an “octagonal structure”… “I’ve been in contact with DOD regarding operations across the Great Lakes region today,” Rep. Jack Bergman (R-Mich.) wrote on Twitter at around 3:30 p.m. Washington time. “The US military has decommissioned another ‘object’ over Lake Huron. I appreciate the decisive action by our fighter pilots.” Bergman told Fox News on Feb. 12 that the object had an “octagonal structure” and was shot down by an F-16 jet at 20,000 feet. He cited Pentagon officials for the information. “They informed me that an F-16 using an AIM-9 missile had shot down an octagonal structure over Lake Huron. The altitude was about 20,000 feet,” Bergman said in a phone interviewaired by Fox News. And once again, in this case it is being reported that the object did not appear to have any visible propulsion system… The object President Biden ordered shot down over Lake Huron on Sunday was described as “octagonal” in shape with strings hanging off, flying at roughly 20,000 feet. U.S.military officials had stated that the craft have no discernable propulsion systems. Could it be possible that all of these objects will turn out to be Chinese spy balloons? Sure. But right now the head of NORAD is saying that he is not ruling out the possibility that at least some of them could have been alien aircraft… General Glen VanHerck, who leads NORAD and the U.S. Northern Command, said he would leave the possibility of aliens up to the intelligence community. U.S. fighter jets haveshot down three unidentified “objects” in as many days this week, but the military has yet to confirm what they are. “I’ll let the intel community and the counterintelligence community figure that out. I haven’t ruled out anything,” VanHerck told reporters Sunday when asked about the possibilityof the objects being extra-terrestrial. “At this point we continue to assess every threat or potential threat, unknown, that approaches North America with an attempt to identify it,” he added. Did he really just say that? Yes, he did. But when the Biden administration was asked about the possibility of alien aircraft, they gave a much more politically-correct answer… Speaking from the White House podium, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said she wanted people to hear straight from President Joe Biden’s administration that alien involvementwith these incidents is not a working theory. “I know there have been questions and concerns about this, but there is no ― again, no ― indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns,” shesaid, referring to authorities shooting down four high-altitude objects, including a suspected Chinese spy balloon, over North American airspace this month. Of course the truth is that the Biden administration cannot tell us what these “unidentified objects” were, and so far our military has not recovered wreckage from any ofthe three that were just shot down… The Pentagon is yet to recover debris from the three UFOs shot down this weekend over Alaska, Canada and Michigan and is yet to offer any kind of explanation as to what theyare, how they were able to fly, or whether they pose a genuine threat to America. Hopefully, the wreckage will show that the objects belonged to the Russians or the Chinese. Because if the objects did not come from them, we may have been shooting at aircraft that belong to some very dark forces. As I discussed in a previous article, hordes of unidentified aircraft have been violating U.S. airspace for years, and U.S. Senator Marco Rubio just made the exact same pointin one of his most recent tweets… Republican Rubio tweeted: ‘The last 72 hours revealed to the public what was happening for years, unidentified aircraft routinely operating over restricted US airspace. ‘This is why I pushed to take this seriously and created a permanent UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena – equivalent to UFOs) task force two years ago.’ He is right. But up until now, the general public had not been fired up about such things. In one of the forty-three chapters in my latest book, I take a look at what our leaders have been publicly admitting about these unidentified aircraft. There is much more going on than most people realize. The Russians and the Chinese are definitely significant threats, but there are also other threats that are looming out there that are even more sinister. ------------------- America 2023: Sleepwalking into World War III � Leo Hohmann - https://leohohmann.com/2023/02/11/america-2023-sleepwalking-into-world-war-iii/#more-12745 China and Russia are both in full-on war mode, mobilizing their economies, their armies and navies for World War III with America. Notice I said �America.� Not �NATO.� NATO is America and America is NATO along with its vassal states. NATO has always been built upon American power. The problem is America has lost its power and any that remains is largely about perception, not reality. Once the world figures this out, it�s game over. Once they see that the Emperor has no clothes, that it�s all smoke and mirrors � and the balloon incident has started to openpeople�s eyes � they will be shocked at how weak America actually is. This degrading of American power was facilitated by ideological traitors (communists posing as Democrats) and greed-based traitors (Republicans posing as crusaders for �freetrade� and the global �free market�). They have hollowed out this country�s manufacturing base, making us dependent on a hostile foreign power, China, while profiting greatly from their partnerships with �Chinese businesses,� without explaining to the Americanpeople that to be a viable Chinese �business� you must march to the dictates of the Chinese Communist Party. When you boil it down, basically every Chinese business that our American globalist friends are involved with is part of the Chinese Communist Partycontrolled state-corporate superstructure. Take, for instance, this headline from today�s Detroit News: Ford to Announce $2.5B Battery Plant in Marshall (Michigan) with Chinese Partner. A friend of mine from Michigan said it best when I texted him the above article: �100 years ago Henry Ford brought Sharia compliant Mohammadens to Michigan to provide cheaplabor for his plants. Today, Ford Motor Company is bringing to Michigan America�s enemies from China to enrich its business.� Democrat governors like Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan, and Republican governors like Brian Kemp in Georgia, are completely on board with selling out their states to the Chineseunder the guise of providing jobs. The Biden administration clumsily announced this week that it is banning the U.S. from doing business with six Chinese corporations because they have ties to the Chinese military�saerospace industry. According to CNN The US Commerce Department is restricting six Chinese companies tied to the Chinese army�s aerospace programs from obtaining US technology without government authorization. The move comes after a Chinese balloon suspected of carrying out surveillance flew over the US last week, raising political tensions between the world�s two largest economies. Six companies? This is laughable. Every Chinese �company� ultimately ties back to the CCP and its military ambitions. Meanwhile, the globalist communist Democrats and globalist �free market� Republicans have allowed our military to degrade itself while sending endless weaponry and munitionsto Eastern Europe and other areas of the world. They have opened up the U.S. borders and ignored the defense of the homeland, thinking the U.S. is invincible (eerily similar to the revived Babylonian empire, drunk with pride, described in Revelation 17-18). At the same time America�s government has been corrupted, individual Americans have grown way too comfortable, living in luxury, too engrossed in games, entertainment, andother frivolous things that don�t matter, too ambivalent of things that do matter, to even see what�s happening before their very eyes. America is in free fall, both economically and militarily. And especially morally. It�s been a gradual decline for decades but at the end things tend to move very fast andI believe we�ve entered that final death spiral. This is very reminiscent of ancient Rome and its far-flung empire building. Rome, like America, was busy nation building abroad while ignoring the homeland. Finally it implodedfrom within when it realized the barbarians were not only gathering at the gates, they were inside the gates. Here is a list of things the Biden regime is doing that are the opposite of what any legitimate government would do if it was heading into war with a superpowerlike Russia, China or, God forbid, both at the same time: •Pushing dangerous experimental pharmaceutical products on U.S. military, first responders and healthcare personnel. China and Russia have not forced these mRNA drugs on theirmilitary personnel. •Sending endless arms and munitions to Ukraine. •Pushing for a global pandemic treaty that would shift sovereignty from individual nations to the United Nations World Health Organization in matters of public health and �public-health emergencies of international concern.� The new International Health Regulations, if adopted by the World Health Assembly in the last week of May, would hand over authority to the WHO to declare when such emergencies are declared and how to respond,whether with masks, lockdowns, forced injections, etc. •Introducing transgenderism, critical race theory and other destructive, divisive elements into the U.S. military. •Drawing down the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to dangerously low levels while continuing to push �climate change� policies of phasing out so-called �fossil fuels� thatare needed to run a modern economy, let alone a war-time economy. Russia and China do not indulge the John Kerrys and Bill Gateses of the world. They have no problem with �fossil fuels.� •Continuing to stoke divisions within U.S. society � racial, sexual, religious. Just this week an FBI leaked memo shows it is targeting conservative Catholics as an �extremist� threat. Previously, we�ve seen parents who attend school board meetings, so-called �election deniers,� vaccine refusniks, and pro-life evangelicals labeled as extremists and enemies of the state in the world of fairy tales in which the DOJ and FBI operate.They should be focused on real enemies but they choose to demonize various categories of law-abiding, hard working American families. •Continuing to encourage business deals with China in which China buys up valuable U.S. farmland and industrial land. •Opening the borders for terrorists and sleeper cells to enter from China, Iran, Russia and any other country that wants to send us their bad apples. •Going after guns. If we had a legitimate government that knew war with Russia-China was on the horizon, it would be encouraging responsible citizen gun ownership rather thantrying to ban these weapons. •Not explaining to the American people that we are at war with Russia and China, at least in a proxy war and rapidly moving toward direct war with both sides escalating theconflicts. Why escalate toward war without mobilizing for war and explaining the rationale to the people? As a result of the above policies, America is not ready for World War III. And if America continues to sleepwalk into World War III, it will lose World War III. The country is not mobilizing. It is not uniting. I truly believe that�s because we don�t have a legitimate government in Washington. It�s a fake government run by traitors.This entity that people refer to as the government, while pushing the world toward war, is not preparing for war. As individual people of faith, I say this: Prepare accordingly. Because your �government� is not going to protect you from enemies foreign or domestic. It will be every manfor himself, every neighborhood for itself, every community for itself. Millions of Americans were focused on the Super Bowl this past weekend as the world is on fire with war, earthquakes, bioweapons being promoted as vaccines, and growing famine.They are and will remain totally impervious to what�s going on. I hear God saying, �Come out of her my people,� before it�s too late, before you share in her sins and her plagues. ----------------------
