After Trump and Putin Lock Horns Peace In Ukraine Is As Far Off As Ever

 Therefore, my Harry, be it thy course 
To busy giddy minds with foreign quarrels,
 That action, hence borne out,
May waste the memory of the former days. 

William Shakespeare, Henry VI part 2, act 4 scene 5 

 

Russia launched probably the largest aerial assaults of the war on Ukraine overnight, unleashing more than 500 drones, with Kyiv as the primary target. The timing of the attack—just hours after a phone call between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin which yielded no success toward ending the war in Eastern Europe, seems significant. Coupled with other developments it may indicate that the Russians are finally out of patience with the Ukies insane refusal to amit defeat, and are preparing to overrun their neo - Nazi neighbour.  

 Ukraine claims that Russia is gearing up for a large-scale offensive there, a Russian security source denied any such plans, while the US is closely monitoring the situation. All such claims, from either side, are of course propaganda and as such should be treated with scepticism..

 This follows the Wall Street Journal’s (WSJ) report alleging that Russia has assembled 50,000 troops in preparation for that. A Russian security source denied such plans in comments to TASS, however, and instead described the aforesaid claims as part of a Ukrainian Military Intelligence campaign to demonise Russia and bolster support for Kiev's futile resistance to all efforts at ending the conflict.

The results of yesterday's conversation between Trump and Putin have done nothing to break the stalemate,both sides have spoken and in essence, their comments match.

The Kremlin said that Trump called for an early ceasefire, but Putin effectively denied it, saying that he continues to pursue the "objectives of the SMO" and will not back down from them.

Trump also said that he has made no progress in his talks with Putin, is not happy about it, and is very disappointed.

Note that this is perhaps the first time Trump has been this negative about the results of his conversation with Putin.

It is another blow to the conspiracy theory widespread in Ukraine, Russia and the West that Trump and Putin supposedly agreed on everything regarding Ukraine and are now forcing Zelensky and co. into these agreements. The halt of arms shipments to Kiev is also interpreted in this context.

4 years ago the Russians had already set out their demands precisely. The Russians wanted to act in December 2021, but the West, led by the USA, did not respond to their offers and even ridiculed Russia through various statements or through the media.

Russia wanted a guarantee that Ukraine would not be admitted into NATO, and the areas containing ethnic Russian populations whivh were being persecuted by the (American/NATO-installed) Ukraine government. In addition Moscow demanded the surrender of the Russian speaking territories by Ukraine so that they could be absorbed into the Russian Federation. When the Soviet Union dissolved each of the areas should have been given the opportunity to have a plebiscite and determine which capital would gain their loyalty. 

Creating national borders without paying attention to ethnic and tribal boundaries always seems to cause trouble. Humans tend to want to congregate with others like themselves, not with strangers with strange customs. The ability to merge various ethnic groups - admittedly mostly from Europe - into a single entity was a key to America's ascension. 

Unfortunately, the Black Sea port of Odessa was more Russian than Ukrainian going back at least as far as Catherine the Great. It was also an early site of anti-Russian activities once under the current Ukraine regime. How this would be resolved is unclear.

 Thus as the Kiev regime's campaign to effect the ethnic cleansing of Ukrainian territory was stepped up, in February 2022 the Russian government launched their action against Ukraine. If the Western allies had been willing in December 2021 or again in April 2022 to negotiate with them then maybe in the first case the invasion of Ukraine would not have happened and in the second, the carnage of the past three years could largely have been averted. 

But the West decided to go on a pissing match with Russia as long as the Russians lost patience and entered the territory of Ukraine to criticize them for violating agreements and laws which were much more violated mainly by the USA but also by Western European countries. In Kiev the corrupt, neo - Nazi oligarchs who now govern Ukraine saw opportunities to enrich themselves from a war and were happy to volunteer Ukrainian citizens as cannon fodder in a proxy war aimed at achiving regime change in Moscow. The Russians have already sacrificed enough of their people and finances to now back down from their demands As long as Russia does not cut Ukraine off from the Black Sea, the conflict will not be over for the time being ..which will be a disaster for Ukraine.

The young man was referring to the Storm Shadw missiles donated to the Ukie was effort by the UK. His comment was prompted by the mass murderer Zelensky's latest idiotic whine about the US /UK / NATO refusal to sanction the use of such missiles to strike targets deep within Russian territory.

Will Commodities Be The New Reserve Currency As The Death Knell Of The Dollar Sounds?
Many respected economists and market analysts who favour the free markets approach concur that we are heading towards a new economic reality that will see the collapse of the US$ as the default reserve currency, to be replaced not by any other fiat currency such as the Euro or the Renminbi, but by a system in which  commodities are the primary denominator of value. Should this turn out to be the case we can expect an acceleration of the shift in geopolitical power from west to East.

We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis
Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed. Perhaps I was naive to suppose that lessons might have been learned from the hits their print sales and online traffic rates took as a result of their handling the COVID pandemic But instead of focusing on the most obviously newsworthy aspect of the build up to and escalation of the war, Russia’s view of NATO expansion into Ukraine and even further to Georgia and Kazakhstan, news reports have simply demonised Russia and portrayed Ukraine as the good guys.

Europe's Depleted Gas Storage Might Not Get Refilled Ahead Of Next Winter
While mainstream news reporting of the conflict in Ukraine continues to pump out a torrent of anri - Russia, pro - war propaganda the catastropic effects of this war that could so easily have been avoided are not mentioned.

Russia Just Sent out a Message NATO Should Better Listen To
The key paragraph from the latest official Russian naval doctrine is that Putin and his military advisers have sent a clear message that NATO encroachment is unacceptable. To be honest, there is nothing earth shattering in this, The Daily Stirrer and many other alternative media news and analysis sites have been warning for about two years that Obama's foreign policy was making conflict inevitable.

USA, EU and Turkey are not going to like this Greece /Russia deal

It is common knowledge that Greece is on the way out of the EU. Though the bureaucrats of Brussels, increasingly paranoid about EU member states that challenge their authority will try to bully Greece into staying, the Greeks have a new best mate in Russia. It is logical therefore that as Turkey's increasingly unstable Prsident Erdogan continues to provoke Russia in any way he can, Members of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Greek administrative region of Evros are floating proposals of trade ties with Russia and could offer their port city Alexandroupolis as an alternative route for Russian cargo to bypass the Bsophorous and Dardinelles, the narro straits that are the only route to the Mediterranean Sea from Russia's posts on The Black Sea.

“We could work together in different areas, taking into account that the city is home to one of the largest ports that allows to bypass Bosphorus and the Dardanelles,” Evangelos Lambakis, the mayor of Alexandroupoli, told the press. Alexandroupoli is the capital city of the Evros regional unit.

Professor Valentin Katasonov believes that this initiative could grow into a larger partnership, since Turkey severely damaged relations with Russia not just by downing a Russian bomber over Syria but because of its illegal oil trade and arms trafficking with ISIS.

“We indeed need access to the Mediterranean Sea bypassing Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, [the narrow straits that separate mainland Turkey from the Turkish enclave in Europe in which Istanbul is situated.] There is another alternative – a channel through Iran. This project, first conceived approximately a century ago, is now also on the agenda,” Katasonov said.

Russia has always feared, should hostilities break out with Turkey, the Turks would simply scupper ships in the Bosphorus and Dardinelles, blocking Russia's main trade routes.

Although Greece’s offer could help Russia bolster the security of its shipments, not all risks will be eliminated.“Not all transit countries are friendly towards Russia. We need to take into account risks that our land transportation could face. Land shipping does not require massive investment, so this is a viable option,” he added.Should Evros proceed with this initiative, it will have to abide by this commitment due to the tough economic environment Greece is dealing with, Katasonov emphasized.

NATO and the West will not be happy with the move. However, there is no alternative for Greece. Last summer the Greek government inked three-year deals with the IMF and the European Union, but the situation will heat up in mid-2016 (as I told you in another post, a major banking crisis is expected in Italy before the end of June. The issues that were discussed in 2015, like Grexit, will resurface.

The Business of War: Defense Sales Keep Economies Of Manufacturing Nations Afloat

Orwell knew a thing or two about human nature (Image source)

Tens of thousands have been killed and millions displaced due to 'humanitarian' interventions by the developed nations (led by the USA, France and the UKm the FUKUS axis) in the domestic politics of third world nation. Usually these interventions are justified by citing the urgent need to depose a tyrannical dictator who a bit nasty to those opposed to his regime, but who is getting in the way of achieving western geopolitical goals. War is good business of course so often the interventions support rebel groups who if they came to power would be far more oppressive and brutal regime than the one they replaced.

Assad was a fairly benign dictator, sure, he eliminated his opponents with ruthless efficiency but there are plenty of tyrants around the world who have killed far more of their own people (Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe for example) so why is it imperative to get rid of Assad? And why did Gadaffi have to go in Libya yet the regimes in Sudan, Somalia, Democratic Republic Of Congo, Mali, Mayanmar, Indonesia, Pakistan, Kazakstan and Uzbekistan to name but a few (without naming the one supported by the western powers whose ruler likes to have his critics boiled alive) all have abysmal rrecords of human rights abuses and yet are supported by the west and the United Nations.

The case is war is good for business, and now that Quantitative Easing (printing money) has failed to restart stagnant economies and negative interest rates (you pay the bank interest on your savings) looking likely to be as popular as a smelly fart in a small lift, war looks like the only remaining option to save the global economy from another collapse. British defense company BAE systems has seemingly anticipated the upturn in demand for missiles, guns, helicopters, tanks etc. and cashed in on the conflict, posting a sharp rise in revenue due to the sale of products mainly to Saudi Arabia, one of the top human rights abusing regimes in the world that has been busy bombing Yemen and sending weapons to ISIS for several years.

BAE's armaments and defence equipment sales sales rose by 7.6 percent in the past year to US$25.7 billion (£17.9bn), while the company's share price eclipsed earlier forecasts. The company, which specializes in selling air and naval military products, as well as munitions and warfare systems, had for years been making job cuts and a scaling down of production due to a lack of demand.

However, the increase in fighting in Syria and Yemen has seemingly boosted demand and subsequently the company's sales over the past three years. BAE confirmed it had increased aircraft deliveries to Saudi Arabia and struck a deal to supply the Gulf kingdom with 22 more "Hawk Advanced Jet Trainer" aircraft, along with additional ground equipment training aids.

The announcement of increased profits comes at a time of high debate about arms sales to Saudi Arabia, with many campaigners concerned about reports of alleged Saudi war crimes and breaches and international law associated with Riyadh's bombing campaign against Houthi rebels in Yemen.

Other defence equipment makers doing well include United Technologies with military equipment sales of $11 billion out of a total revenue of $58 billion, Rayethon, whose military sales of $22 billion make up 90% of its total revenue, the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (EADS), based in the Netherlands, with armaments sales of $17billion. Arms sales comprised just 24% of the company's revenue; Italian company Finmeccanica makes a wide range of arms, including helicopters and security electronics, nearly 60% of the company's sales in 2011 were in arms. Finmeccanica lost $3.2 billion in 2011 but since the escalation of hostilities has returned to profit.

Those are just a random sample, some major players, a couple of smaller ones. More European operations can be found HERE and the American Top 25 HERE A full list would be very long and that is without adding military contractors. Yes,war has always been good for business and that is why we seem set on an irreversible course to global conflict. You see even if the shooting war does not kick off, increased tensions will ensure bigger defence budgets for several decades.

I suppose I should be proud that British company BAE systems are world No. 1 but I cannot honestly say that I am. It would please me far more if we were top in one of the other areas in which we excel.

US Paradrops Arms And Ammunition To Syrian Rebels

As we reported last week, the USA has capitulated in the face of Russian air and ground strength, and abandoned the ill conceived (there's understatement for you) strategy of funding, training and arming islamic extremist groups in Syria fighters and using them them against the well drilled (by Russian officers) and well armed (with Russian weapons) troops loyal to President Assad. Credit where it is due, the rebels were doing OK, with US, French and British air support, until Russia intervened directly.

The Pentagon’s pledge to recruit 5,400 properly "vetted" anti-ISIS rebels by the end of the year was certain to end in tears. How the world laughed when word got out that only “four or five” of these fighters were actually still around. The rest are allegedly killed or captured, but more likely they took the monay and weapons they were given and went into business fighting as mercenaries for anti - Assad forces paid by the US (vial illegal oil trades), Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

This debacle has cost US taxpayers an estimated (very conservatively) $40 million over the last six months.

Because its latest anti - Assad initiative tirned out such an embarrassment, the Pentagon has come up with a new idea to support Syria’s “freedom fighters” as they fleeing under bombardment by Russian air force jets, planning no doubt to regroup and relaunch the jihad, possibly in Iraq, Afghanistan or somewhere in Africa.

The new plan: "helicopter ammo". No, really. The US is dropping "tons" of ammunition into the middle of the Syrian desert and hoping the “right” people find it.

No, don't titter at the back there, that's Obama and The Pentagon's Plan B.

Here’s how CNN reported it:

U.S. military cargo planes gave 50 tons of ammunition to rebel groups overnight in northern Syria, using an air drop of 112 pallets as the first step in the Obama Administration's urgent effort to find new ways to support those groups.

Details of the air mission over Syria were confirmed by a U.S. official not authorized to speak publicly because the details have not yet been formally announced.

C-17s, accompanied by fighter escort aircraft, dropped small arms ammunition and other items like hand grenades in Hasakah province in northern Syria to a coalition of rebels groups vetted by the US, known as the Syrian Arab Coalition.

And here's a bit more color from a news channel generally considered The Republican Party propaganda department, Fox News:

The ammunition originally was intended for the U.S. military's "train and equip" mission, the official said. But that program was canceled last week.

"So now we are more focused on the 'E' [equip] part of the T&E [train & equip]," said the official, who described equipping Syrian Arabs as the focus of the new strategy against ISIS.

The Defense Department announced Friday that it was overhauling the mission to aid Syrian rebel fighters. After the program fell far short of its goals for recruiting and training Syrian fighters, the DOD said it would focus instead on providing "equipment packages and weapons to a select group of vetted leaders and their units so that over time they can make a concerted push into territory still controlled by ISIL."

The shift also comes as Russia continues to launch airstrikes in Syria, causing tension with the U.S. amid suspicions Moscow is only trying to prop up Bashar Assad.

Col. Steve Warren, spokesman for the U.S.-led anti-ISIS coalition, confirmed that coalition forces conducted the airdrop on Sunday.

"The aircraft delivery includes small arms ammunition to resupply counter-ISIL ground forces so that they can continue operations against ISIL. All aircraft exited the drop area safely," he said in a statement. All pallets successfully were recovered by friendly forces, a U.S. official said.

Yes, "friendly forces." Who will no doubt be aiming "friendly fire" at Syrian Chistians, Jews, atheists and those unfortunate people who just happen to be the wrong sort of Muslim.

US aircraft just parachuted 50 tons of ammo stacked on pallets into the most dangerous and volatile place on earth with no way of knowing if it falls into the "right" hands, or those of ISIS, the PKK, Al Qaeda, Shi'ite militias or gangsters. (It goes without saying that the term "right" is meaningless there, they're all bastards). Meanwhile, the Russians are dropping bombs on the same extremists who are set to receive and use the guns and ammo Uncle Sam is dropping against Syria's legitimate government.

If it somehow falls into the "wrong hands", and it would not be the first time that happened (see Mosul, and revisit the $500 billion worth of weapons US military advisers "misplaced" in Yemen). This is of course great news for the U.S. military-industrial complex which has supported all the neo Con Obama administration's wars. Such cock ups mean more war, more profit, more promotions. And if it turns out they mean more "terrorist attacks" on U.S. "friends and allies", and perhaps even on U.S. soil, well so long as the gated communities and exclusive suburbs where the elitists live are not attacked, that's go to be good for business too.
