All eyes are fixed on Ost Front and the war, where Ukraine launched an offensive in June in the hope of driving to the Black Sea and severing Russia's land bridge with Crimea. But the offensive stalled in the face of Russian air power, artillery dominance and massive minefields.
NATO trained and equipped mechanized brigades floundered and died before they even reached the first fortified lines of Russkie defense. Why, how could this happen? They had Leopard tanks, Bradleys, AMV 10s, MWRAPS, Mastiffs, M113s, HIMARS and so much more. It's cost you, the taxpayer, billions. That's right, billions, and it didn't break through. Why?
Obvious answer. NATO equipment needs NATO officers like Major Rachel Jones to operate correctly. UKR needs to diversify if it's going to increase force lethality. Got that? Because diversity is our strength, see Major "Rachel" fake woman Jones above.
I say again, if we're gambling on never having to fight another big war again, why are we calling for moar war? Serious question, have we been driven insane by Satan?

"Recently, several pundits on the political Right have jumped in with the Democrats on the anti-Russia bandwagon." That was over a year ago, surely more pertinent now than ever.
Via Nightwind:
Recently, several pundits on the political Right have jumped in with the Democrats on the anti-Russia bandwagon. I've often said that the Left has no monopoly on NPCs and it's really beginning to show. There seems to be a major strain of thought---brought on the Neocons of the Bush Era---that American strength is measured by its ability to push around other sovereign countries up to and including obliterating them with military force. It shouldn't be surprising that Senate Republicans---the same people criticizing Hunter Biden---are heavily represented on the Ukrainian Government's foreign lobbying payroll.
"Firms working for Ukrainian interests have inundated Congressional offices, think-tanks, and journalists with more than 10,000 messages and meetings in 2021, according to an analysis of Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA, filings for a forthcoming report from the Quincy Institute,” the think tank’s Ben Freeman writes today. “To put this extraordinary campaign into perspective, the Saudi lobby — known for being one of the largest foreign lobbies in D.C. — reported 2,834 contacts, barely a quarter of what Ukraine’s agents have done...
“Congress has been the primary target of Ukraine’s agents, with over 300 House and Senate staff and members of Congress on the receiving end of more than 8,000 emails, phone calls, and meetings with Ukraine’s lobbyists. Agents representing the Ukrainian Federation of Employers of the Oil and Gas Industry, or UFEOGI, the largest association of energy companies in Ukraine, have flooded Capitol Hill with headlines like ‘Ukrainians call on U.S. Senate to sanction Putin’s pipeline weapon,’ and others claiming ‘Moscow regards concessions as a sign of weakness.’ "The lobbyists seem to have found a friendly ear in Senate Republicans, in particular Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX),” the former boss of Yorktown Solutions’ Daniel Vajdich, who represents the UFEOGI. Outreach was also “focused intently on senators who co-sponsored 2020 legislation to block completion of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, including Cruz; John Barrasso (R-Wyo.); Tom Cotton, (R-Ark.); and Ron Johnson, (R-Wis.)."
...How has conducting US Foreign Policy with a sledgehammer done us any good at all?
The short answer is that it hasn't. In fact, it seems to have turned into the Neocon version of Virtue-Signalling.
You can read the whole thing here and I call X-Ring, but see what you think. It's not like there's some kind of "rule."
In the meanwhile, an aggressively young soldier's walked through the door, full of high spirits. Kyrie Eleison and more on that later.

What's gone? Oh, just the super critical life saving vax mandate for members of our Armed Forces. And that's really weird. Just a few weeks ago you had to get the vax if you were serving because otherwise you'd die from Covid and "operational preparedness" would be ruined.
Uh huh. I won't bang on but what an utter crock. Too bad for you if you were one of the over 8000 troops who were axed on the altar of political profit expediency. Will they be reinstated? Don't hold your breath but who knows, maybe these vax criminals will be called up to defend our beloved leaders in a general draft.
I mean for goodness sake, it's all hands on deck when it comes to defending money laundering in Eastern Europe and 10% to the Big Guy. By the way, my eldest nearly died from the J&J jab in Korea, not kidding.

Massive disturbance in the Force. Sam Bankman Fried (SBF) was rolling the bones to the tune of billions, borrowing massive amounts of money from his crypto exchange FTX to pay for his hedge fund Alameda Research's trading. And everything else, including mega millions to the Ukraine > Democrat funding funnel.
Smart, and what was the collateral for the loans, the billions of dollars borrowed? FTX's native token FTT, which disastrously nosedived 75% triggering margin calls and FTX bankruptcy. The money, you see, just wasn't there. Is this a Lehman moment? I don't know, but I'll leave you with a helpful Day by Day infographic via Ed, widescreen it if you like:
It's been a rough week for crypto. BTC's crashed to a wretched just over 16k, ETH's down to a miserable 1.2k and everyone's beloved DOGE sits and wags its adorable tail at a mere 8 cents. Wipeout across the board. So what happened? Several things, not least the collapse of the ponzi laundromat FTX exchange. Here's a helpful infographic:
Word to the wise, don't put more in than you can afford to lose and while you're at it, think about getting tokens off of exchanges and into secure wallets. That said and for what little it's worth, I'm long crypto and see an opportunity to buy at bargain basement prices, but caveat emptor, buyer beware. Do you dare reach out and catch the falling knife?
Money on the monkey and twice as fast, eh?
