WW3 fears as Putin prepares to go all in on Ukraine: Russia
paves the way for conscription and scrambles to annex Ukrainian
territories, warning the West 'all forces' will be used to
defend them

.. . .

Putin was expected to make a public speech declaring
an official state of war between Russia and Ukraine.
He has not given that speech - nobody is sure why.

Important Russian officials and top businessmen - on
both sides of the war equation - have been dropping
like flies recently. There's a quiet little coup of
some kind in progress there. Putin may win.

There is also a scheme afoot for the eastern provinces
to vote and declare themselves officially part of Russia.
Then, any Ukrainian attacks are, technically, an outright
attack on Russia proper. The majority there DO think of
themselves as Russians, so an affirming vote would NOT
be a lie.

Meanwhile, as expected, Russia has launched firebomb
attacks on towns recently liberated by Ukrainian forces.
Scorched earth. Make sure the winner inherits ashes.

The UN top brass are kind of freaking out right now,
talking about some variant of a WW-3. An "official"
war would allow Putin to go as far as he dares -
and again if he can't win then he can make sure
Ukraine inherits ashes.

Biden the other day, addressing Putin directly on
the subject of nuclear strikes, said "Don't, Don't,
Don't". It's the best sentence he's uttered as POTUS.
The Dems might LIKE a "limited" nukewar - they'd
use the emergency to seize total power. Sorry, no
mid-terms, no 2024 .... too much going on folks.
There ARE laws on the books that'd support this
sort of tact. Clinton was instrumental in creating
them under the "terrorism"/"disaster" umbrella.

Russia appears ready to begin forced CONSCRIPTION
in order to bolster its military. It tried to recruit
thousands out of the PRISONS the other day but that
didn't seem to go very well. The Wokie US Army also
is freakin' at low recruiting numbers - forced
conscription is not out of the question there either.

Sorry, but drones can't do it all - and besides
the Chinese drones are MUCH better and more numerous
now too. Several presidents dropped the ball there.
I wonder how many Chinese parts - with trick circuits -
are in US/UK/EU drones ?

A Putin-dicksuck TV personality today was all peeved
because Putin didn't nuke the Queen's funeral - she
said it was the perfect op to eliminate all top western
leaders in one stroke. She also characterized the UK
as a sort of Great Satan and said its major cities
and military bases would be easy to target and SHOULD
be targeted.

Oh yea, a LOT of Russians support genociding Ukraine.
Skip the propaganda bullshit - they WANT empire.
Russians are hard-asses.

Things ARE iffy now - almost at Cuba Missile Crisis
level. There are sides, with steel walls between them,
and old-fashioned statecraft has become a forgotten art.
The "west" is WEAK, very weak. Extreme social divisions,
Chinese-encouraged no doubt, self-destructive policies,
Chinese-encouraged no doubt, massive debts and rot in
the means to pay them, Chinese-encouraged no doubt, and
incompetent leaders, well, they did that all by themselves.

Russia and China see OPPORTUNITY here and they're not
wrong - hard-asses can and have just bowled-over weak
competitors all through history. Anyone who thinks the
world would be better in THEIR hands was in a coma
during history classes. Western lefty elite imagine
they'd still be elite if China took over - but that's
not how it works. Those who will betray their own
can NEVER be trusted and are thus first up against
the wall.
