Talk of Sending Fighter Planes to Ukraine Is Madness

President Zelensky’s warmongering speech to the UK Parliament yesterday unequivocally and unashamedly made the case for starting World War 3 in order to polish the oversized ego of this little clown with the piano playing penis when he demanded that Nato-grade fighter jets to be sent to Ukraine. 

In what is starting to feel like a repeat of the recent tank saga, what seemed impossible is taking on an unassailable momentum. As then, Britain is leading the West towards the inevitable self - immolation of nuclear conflict with Russia. 

Should we commit to sending jets it will take Ukraine months to receive them, but will immediately be seen as an intolerable provocation by Russia, which alread has its military forces or a war footing. OK say the war hawks in Washington, London, Paris, Berlin and Brussels will say this is going to be a long war, and saying we will send them will be a huge blow to Russian morale. They have saidame about every incremental increase in volume and sophictication of military hardware donated to the neo - Nazi nutters in Kiev and yet the Russian war machine grinds on.

Last month it was battle grade heavy tanks that Zelensky demanded and was promised, though it will me months before any are delivered and more months before the Ukies are trained to use them. Tanks, say the military bureaucrats are the first half of the winning equation, and fighter jets the second half.

Though they may be few in number, the British Typhoon fighters would inevitably unlock a much larger number of European Typhoons or F-16s, as the British tank did with European tanks. It’s true that as things stand we have very few fighters to spare. The general idea however is that with air support for their donated tanks the Ukies will be able to rout Russian ground forces. Nice theory but it overlooks the fact that Russia has modern, highly advanced aircraft technology in the  MIG35s and Sukhoi Su57s both of which designs are less than five years old, more than capable of taking on the 30 year old Typhoon Eurofighters and 45 year old F16s.

Aside from the fact that military aircraft technology development in the west has lagged behind that of Russia and China, the idea that sending these ageing aircraft to Ukraine will guarantee a quick and total victory over Russia is quite literally pie in the sky. Even experienced pilots cannot just ‘type convert’ onto modern generation jets like Typhoon. Without questioning Ukrainian pilots’ capabilities (although it would not be unfair to do so,) there does not exist the capability to train people from such a flying background onto a completely different combat platform. It doesn’t really help that they have fighter experience. They are going to have to ‘unlearn’ so much that will be counter-intuitive to the operation of these jets. Nobody has ever tried a rapid type conversion programme such as this, there is no syllabus, no standards written, no instructor training system. Forget that the RAF has not even the capacity to train its own fast jet pilots right now. Don’t even start on maintenancen training for engineers, logistics support, third line maintenance, battle damage repair, armourer training…. It’s not even worth considering unless the US leads. They are the only people with the resources and infrastructure to even know where to start so talk of the UK leading is bollocks. Forget Sunak's virtue signalling and the follow-my-leader games of other European leaders, nobody has thought this through properly.

More importantly, the donations would signal the most significant demonstration to Putin that as far as NATO is concerned this is no local war but a concerted attempt by the USA and its allies to destroy Russia. The Russians still believe if they can stick the war out as long enough, they will crack the western will to keep supporting Ukraine. Recent reports warn that the Russians are apparently preparing 500,000 conscripts to throw into the melee for a spring assault intended to break the will of the Ukrainians. If that fails and The Kremlin knows that Western jets are on the way, that could be enough to push Russia into lanuching unrestrained aerial warfare, sending in wave after wave of heavy bombers to destroy the entire country.One thing is certain, Russia will not give in, knowing any withdrawal now would result in the fast tracking of Ukraine into NATO

One of the underlying principles of the United Nations is that no distant military power is allowed to place its military on your border, unless of course you are America or NATO.By allowing Ukraine to join NATO, Russia would ensure that the whole of its long border with Ukraine would be garrisoned by American, British and European troops backed by long range missiles, all type of military aircraft and a whole range of high tech military gadgetry.  

The former head of the CIA claims America has exercised a proxy war against Russia for years, that NATO has been training and arming the Ukraine military for a decade. Evidence indicates America has insisted on allowing Ukraine entry to NATO , effectively leading to an anti Russian state armed to the teeth with advanced western weapons along the Russian border. The existential threat this posed to Russia was repeatedly ignored by Washington resulting in the invasion taking place.

We now face a conflict in which neither Russia nor America can afford to lose, defeating Russia on the battlefield risks forcing Russia to consider deploying nuclear weapons, any Russian victory would be seen as a defeat for the Biden administration. As for Ukraine, the ultra natiobalist neo - Nazis are in control demanding total victory and the destruction of the Russian state.

Instead of diffusing the conflict America and its allies are hell bent on escalation, happy to wallow in the platitudes voiced by Zelensky while serving his every demand.

I hope for all our sakes the red button is never pressed , should it happen what then ?

Who Blew Up The Nordstream Pipeline
So whodunnit? Sabotage of undersea gas pipe will escalate tension and move the world closer to nuclear war, but who is behind it, Russia in a bid to put more presure on Europe, Ukraine in an attempt to drag NATO into direct action, or the USA using a CIA false flag event to advance its own agenda.

Do We Have A Winter Of Civil Disobedience Ahead?
As many people in Britain slap on the apres sun gloop in the wake of what passes for a heatwave in these cool cloudy climes, our inept politicians caught with their pants down by unusual weather as usual have heard that that winter is coming and are making plans for a coldwave. We are in the grip of an energy crisis at the height of summer. Last week, it was reported that the UK government is laying down plans for a “reasonable worst-case scenario” including blackouts for industry and even households. And this is as energy prices spiral out of control to new records every day.

Is Russia Selling Its Oil To The World Through An Obscure Egyptian Port?
As this blog predicted when NATO and EU member states shot themselves in the foot by reacting to Russia's invasion of Ukraine with sanctions that prevented Russia from selling oil, gas and vital raw materials to the countries that needed them most, the NATO and EU member states, the Russians have had no problems finding alternative customers for their gas and oil and no problem getting oil into the world's commodity markets through the back door.

Putin's critics have cited 'Western unity' as one of the main reasons why Russia will be economically destroyed and politically humiliated when the Ukraine's military finally claim victory.

Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed.

Boris and Biden Can't Blame Ukraine War For Energy Crisis

Do they really think we are stupid enough to believe such unmitigated bollocks? ...

Status Report On That War Thing In Ukraine: Nordstream to Bakhmut, electricity and water


In the wake of attacks on the on the Stream pipelines, that effectively halted the flow of natural gas which German industry, commerce, agriculture and society relies on, and the terrorist attack on the Kerch Bridge, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken gloated that the attacks were a “tremendous opportunity” to weaken Moscow [...] And shortly after news of the Nord Stream sabotage broke on mainstream media, gas supply companies in the USA were offering to supply Europe with shipments of Liquid Natural Gas carried by supertanker to be sold to European nations at vastly inflated prices.
