Well, it's snowing here in northern Ohio, and it's predicted we may get up to 18 inches over the weekend. That's okay, here in Northern Ohio if you don't like the weather, just stick around it'll change, and next week rain is predicted, which will wash it all away. It's Ohio, we can live with it, that's what makes us strong, and that makes Ohio the center of America's political universe. But that's not the story for the week.
First, all of a sudden the media, Mexico, Canada, Putin, and even Iran are starting to bend. Remember when Reagan became President Iran decided maybe it was a good idea to release the American hostages, after all, Ronald Reagan wasn't that weenie Carter, and they knew it. Well, Donald Trump isn't that nitwit Biden, and they know it, and as a result of this election the Pravda media is dying, and screaming all the way down the drain. Well, too bad, so sad, .....nah.... that's not sad or bad at all, it's triumph. Perhaps a little Hallelujah Chorus is in order here.
Canada says they'll impose their own tariffs. Good luck with that, without America they have no economy. Mexico's president shot off her mouth and then backtracked. In spite of all the hyperbole about WWIII, nuclear arms, and how no one can prevent that from happening, Putin Says He’s Confident Trump Can Navigate the Ukraine Crisis, Repair America-Russia Ties.
There
have been prominent writers who claim Putin doesn't bluff, I think
that's a load of horsepucky. I've paid a lot of attention to him over
the years, and read a lot of Russian history, and he's still practicing
what Russian communists have been practicing since they took over, maskirovka,
unless he has an overwhelming advantage and doesn't need to bluff to
get his way, as when the USSR crushed the Hungarian Revolution in 1956,
or the Czech revolt known as the Prague Spring in 1968, where nothing
could have stopped Soviet troops from overwhelming those nations.
That's not the case now, and what advantage he had has dissipated
massively, at many levels.
Russia was considered the number two military nation in the world, which has been fighting a war against the 22nd military nation in the world for two years, but he's not going to launch nuclear weapons against Ukraine. He can't take the risk of retaliation, and NATO is talking retaliation, which makes you wonder from where they're getting their natural gas now, and do they really want Warsaw or Berlin to become a nuclear waste land?
But Putin really doesn't want Moscow to become one, and I don't believe he will take that chance. I also believe he's facing some internal political issues that scares him. Is there a Claus von Stauffenberg cabal within his military? Absolutely! Historically, being Caesar is the scariest most dangerous job in the world, or in this case Czar, without the religious trappings.
There's always a Stauffenberg cabal, look
at what happened to the American military establishment. Would they
take action if he attempted to use nukes? I think so. He's not the
chess player we thought he was, but that's when he was dealing with
nitwits like Obama, but I also don't think he's that stupid either. He's
not really all that smart, he's just clever. Even if there's no
retaliation the international consequences will be massive. He's
already destroyed Ukraine far beyond his economic ability to rebuild it,
and nukes would merely make it worse, so where's the victory?
He's failed to defeat Ukraine in two years, and it's clear Russia's military, and especially it's military leadership are not all that after all. Bad leadership, bad training, bad strategy, poor logistics, terrible planning, lousy intelligence, and stupid arrogant conclusions, all of which has been the problem with Russia for 125 years, going back to the the 1904 Russo/Japanese war, which Russia lost, and then WWI, which they lost. They only defeated Germany in WWII because Germany was overstretched.... way over stretched.... and America provided much needed hardware, especially the Dodge truck.
It's been said the
Dodge truck saved the Soviet Union, as that allowed Stalin to quickly
transport men and material around the country, which he was incapable of
doing before that. If Germany had finished off England first, and
hadn't declared war on America, Russia would have lost, badly, even with
the 30 divisions he had stashed in Eastern Russia to repel a feared
Japanese invasion.
This war has exposed just how fragile Russia is economically, industrially, and domestically. As a result, Putin's international credibly is in the toilet, and he needs for this war to go away. He also needs to come out looking good, or at least not as the loser, since in Russia failed leaders aren't well tolerated, and I've no doubt, given the murderous thug he's been, he legitimately fears for his continued existence.
He also knows France and
others are talking about putting boots on the ground, and Trump doesn't
want to keep funding Ukraine any longer. He clearly needs Trump to work
some diplomatic magic as he did with the Abrahamic Accords, and that
will have to be a multinational agreement that binds Russia to Ukrainian
protection, which will require an entire restructuring of Ukraine's
government. Good luck with that, as there are no good guys here, only
one worse guy.
There's been a lot of talk about America dumping the UN, and there are those who oppose that. Well, what we need is clarity. The UN is a platform for the promotion of a system of tyrannous global governance via schemes such as the LOST treaty, the Convention of Biodiversity, their gun control initiatives, the efforts by WHO to be able to take global control in the face of worldwide pandemics, and they will decide what’s a pandemic. The IPCC and the fraud of global warming, Heritage Sites where America has turned over thousands of acres of land over to UN control, constantly chipping away at the Constitution, the only thing that stands in their way. That's history, and that history is incontestable.
Here’s my UN File and it’s not pretty. The UN is a “vile hive of scum and villainy”, and given all the mischief they're up to, along with all the damage they've done and are doing, and will do in the future at so many levels that America can't veto, and have even been a part of, better to walk away. If America walks away, the UN will cease to exist, and the world will be no worse off. But the American taxpayers will save a ton of money. As it is, we’re funding our own destruction.
Scandals abound, as Biden's DOJ attempts to hide an energy scandal that cost America hundreds of millions of dollars, and now it's been exposed how the Biden administration weaponized the Education Department, specifically targeting career colleges and Christian universities. AOC has been caught lying as she's been taking lobbyist cash since 2020, and now it appears ...... wait for it ....watch out now ....here it comes ......The Hill Floats AOC as a potential 2028 presidential candidate..... but it gets better and better,... Hillary Clinton might be running in 2028! Imagine that, misfits, dipsticks, dimwits and halfwits, what a bench.
Years
ago I predicated a massive revolt within the Republican party from the
base, and while my timing was off, the prediction was right on, and I
think we're going to see it playing out big time this 119th Congress,
starting with this Florida House candidate who is already telling "the squad" he's coming after them. No more Mr. Nice Guy.
The Gaetz cabal has been bold, aggressive, and fearless, and we're going to see a lot more of that in the next midterms if over the next two years the new RNC aggressively attacks the voter fraud network, and that needs to start with a massive and broad RICO investigation under the deprivation of rights legal concept.
(A) No public servant, under color of the public servant's office, employment, or authority, shall knowingly deprive, or conspire or attempt to deprive any person of a constitutional or statutory right. (B) Whoever violates this section is guilty of interfering with civil rights, a misdemeanor of the first degree.
However, it can be a felony, and the punishment can be severe.
I'm betting there's going to be some very unpleasant midterm Republican primary battles, and those battles are going to start right after Trump is sworn in.
