A mere 20 years late, Congress almost did the right thing today.

Imagine if Iran bombed Tel Aviv. The world would denounce it. Washington would offer military aid. Israel would immediately strike Iran over and over again.
Instead, because it's Israel bombing Iran, it's written like this.

Withdraw from Artyomovsk!

This is the advice which social media say the U.S. Government is today giving to the Zelensky regime in Kiev. It follows by a day or two the public release by German intelligence operatives of their own assessment of the latest course of the war, saying that the stubborn resistance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to advancing Russian ground units in Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), just as the defense of Soledar (lost to the Russians a week ago) was and is a death trap set by the Russians for the Ukrainians. As the U.S. overlords understand today, continued losses of Ukrainian forces in these hopeless PR stunts are compromising any chances of their making a spring counteroffensive when the advanced military gear now being shipped to them arrives and is put into the field.

It didn't have to be this way.

All wars are banker wars. Especially this one that threatens to consume us all. We stand on the threshold of annihilation by parasite, those that will suck the homonine corpus dry.

That bank statement. That's your life. That is your worth, digits on paper. Digits that represent the totality of your life's work. What we've been taught, what we structure our lives upon is reflected in that bank statement. The Man wants your life. Is it not obvious by now. You are a slave, by different means, yet still a slave. To the monied class.

This war is shaping up to be the mother of all banker wars. Its cause is the rich man's desire to continue feeding on the sweat and toil of your existence. They, the useless parasitic eater class, have gorged themselves for so long at your expense that they are willing to gamble it all away, all for the sake of their opulence.

Let us not forget what has gotten us to this point. Greed and power. Those that have brought us to the brink will not let go. They, that have caused the financial and geopolitical mess we find ourselves in want you to sacrifice everything so they can continue their rapacious ways.

I know that some people here denied that Russia actually tried to seize Kiev during the original invasion and failed. After this ongoing setback for Russia I think that opinion will have to be reconsidered.

A few weeks ago a plane that took off from Moscow airport has engine trouble and had to land in a cornfield. Miraculously no one was hurt.
However, the names of the survivors made it into the press, and those names were picked up by a web site known as Peacemaker. Peacemaker is an ironic name because it means the opposite.

You might recall how I've been closely following all of the news media reporting about how Ukraine has been gearing up for their HUGE, GINORMOUS, OVERWHELMING, COUNTER-OFFENSIVE in which they are going to take back the city of Kherson from Russia.
