From The Ukraine To WW III - It Could Take As Long As...

...only a single the blink of an eye on a sunny day. With the U.S. now planning to send Abrams M1 battle tanks to Ukraine (more at the source) and with Germany going to send Leopard tanks (more at the source) and Poland planning to do so as well (more at the source), I have to wonder will Putin be pushed to the insane conclusion that NATO is in essence the aggressor in the Ukraine war and that NATO will attack the Russian homeland. I would think that any rational person outside of the Russian political hierarchy & military would know that such is extremely unlikely but they are not rational minds about which I am worried. Putin and his cronies are power hungry, warm water seaport craving, buffer zone seeking madmen in my opinion. If the tanks being sent to Ukraine are enough of a threat to push Putin and his generals over the edge, then as this article states, they may start WW III. 

 

What would Putin order that would start it? Well, all he needs do is hit Ukraine with one nuke, could be a big one but my guess even Putin would not be stupid enough to use more than a single smaller one, maybe a tactical one or a dirty bomb. The Russians would probably, as I see it, set one off in or drop a bomb on a single high population area, especially one in which they think Zelenskyy is present at the time. I am none too certain that the west would be willing to retaliate with like force but NATO, or the U.S. on its own, may decide to do so. Then again, the U.S. or NATO may just say to hell with it and go for a full out & catastrophic response by launching several nuclear armed missiles and bombers all aimed at the Russians with others at the ready for China, Iran and maybe Pakistan. Then again, NATO led by the U.S. might go on the offensive with ground troops and conventional bombing before risking an all out nuclear fist fest but even that would likely lead to a nuclear holocaust eventually unless some Russian with half a brain assassinates Putin before that.

 

I certainly hope none of that happens (except Putin being assassinated by other Russians of course) because if WW III erupts, I predict most of the people of the world can kiss their own arses a final good bye - if not from actual nuclear or conventional attacks then from the famine and other shortages that will follow in fairly short order; hell, we are already in short supply of way too much. If it does come down to a bilateral nuclear exchange, or even to merely Russia unilaterally using nukes, China and other nations would probably not be far behind in allying all out with the Russians and attacking the west by whatever means they have available. We do not want to get into a war with China involved as our enemy and as Russia's ally (they have not used up any significant amount of their military resources as of late). If that turns out to be the case though - well just allow me to let her sing it again (I have to say this video with the song We'll Meet Again is the best I've ever seen): 

 

 

As for me, I'll be going to SAM's Club later today or tomorrow (as time allows) to pick up some foods that can be easily stored long term (mostly canned goods, dry beans, rice, flour, spices, salt and such) to add to my cache. I'll also be updating my medical supplies and buying batteries and other items as best I can do. There is a saying that I think is a very good one as relative to the world's current situation: "Pray for peace but prepare for war". Then again, I've always liked the motto of the Boy Scouts of America as well: "Be prepared". That one kind of covers everything - doesn't it! 

 

I do not know if one can actually be prepared for nuclear war and what would follow but I am a child of the original Cold War and my mother was at least somewhat of a prepper back then - long before that word became popular or maybe before it even existed in our vocabulary. So, I'll be damned if I at least don't try to be prepared enough to live to see what the the aftermath of the apocalypse would look like and if that does not come to pass, at least I'll be ready for whatever increase in shortages Biden creates because no matter what - he is sure to do so as I see it.

Hope to see you all after whatever happens or doesn't but until all this comes to its conclusion:

 

Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away...

 

...some sunny day! 

 

And people say I am a pessimist, go figure.

I Would Have Sworn She & Others Said...

 ...she did absolutely nothing wrong and that she was innocent and more or less was being falsely accused by the Russians for political reasons. Yet, the news today is that she has made a guilty plea. More at the source.

 

Oh well, my life goes on either way whether she is guilty or not. Quite frankly, I do not give a rat's arse about a person whom I consider to be someone who seemingly thinks she has special privileges and deserves special attention from the president of the USA to get her off the hook.

Lately The Situation In The USA & World Is Too Depressing/Dusgusting To Blog Much About...

 ...so, I will not blog about it in any great detail except to say Biden should be figuratively executed for what are in my mind his crimes against: humanity, intelligence (how he can have been so idiotic to in effect have said if the Taliban cooperated he would work out a smooth transition of power to them - after they had already conquered and thus already had taken control of most of Afghanistan - in what amounted to an unchecked blitzkrieg - is beyond my comprehension), the citizens of the USA, our rights & liberties. Add to to those crimes, his apparent complete lack of leadership abilities (hown did the dems ever make him their pick for president is unfathomable - he makes LBJ, Carter & Obama look like great presidents by comparison - heck, a fifth grader could have done better in the pullout from Afghanistan), his blatantly pompous attitude and the fact that he breathes the air that someone else could be breathing and I am convinced that not only does he not deserve to be, nor is qualified to be, the president of the United States of America but he does not even deserve to live in this country. I think it would be a befitting punishment (and yes I think he needs to be punished for his numerous and deplorable gaffes) that he be deported to Afghanistan - but only after a sex change operation  - so that his trusted buddies (at least he trusts them) in the Taliban can give him what he truly deserves after they turn him into a sex slave.

 

Yep, I think, that in a very brief manner, that about sums up how I feel about him. Heaven forbid that I rant on, in detail, about what I think of him - it would amount to a very thick & heavy tome with very fine print to fit it all.

Roaches Are Easy To Kill But It's Hard To Erradicate All of Them...

 ...since they hide in the cracks and breed like - well like roaches when hiding. Of course, they do come out once the lights are turned off. Just like roaches, those in the Taliban are easy to kill but as a group they are hard to extirpate. They too hide in the cracks, so to speak, then again almost literally inside cracks in the mountainsides. Roaches destroy good things by eating our food and defecating on our food products and elsewhere in our homes; they also spread diseases. The Taliban breed like roaches and spread their diseased creed like roaches spread their droppings - over everything they encounter. 

 

Once the lights went out, so to speak, in Afghanistan when U.S. troops were removed from that country, the scum of the earth, the Taliban crawled out of the cracks and began what is almost certain to become another reign of terror. If it was just in that country alone, I might say screw it - why be concerned - but how could I or you wish that evil on anyone without being almost as bad as are they! Even if you think that way and say screw the collateral damage, it probably is too late for that now that they are taking control again.

 

Now that the lights are out, they assuredly will not confine their terror to within the borders of a single nation. They will be coming our way once again, when we are sleeping once again, and you can bet their attack (with or without help from other groups like Al-Qaeda) will again be devastating once again. The mistake was not to destroy as many of them as was possible when we had the chance - when we were on the ground in what is fast again becoming their country. I do not blame this on Biden even though he is the one who brought it to the final point of allowing them to regroup and expand. Trump would have done the same as most probably would have done any other president in short order in the current mess we call the world. I blame it on a general distaste for doing what needed to be done to get the task accomplished and that I think would have been to annihilate as many of them as possible with extreme prejudice. I feel no mercy for said group and judging them by what they have done before and now have done already, since U.S. troops left the country, just goes to show what terrorizing savages are they and that they deserve the fate I think they deserve; anyway that is my opinion. More on what they have been doing at this source and that source.

If We Nuked Yemen Would Iran Behave Itself?

My guess is that nuking Yemen would not be a tactical mistake if some country decided to nuke that country in response the recent drone attacks on Saudi Oil Fields. Houthi forces, established and working out of Yemen, have claimed responsibility for the attacks which have resulted in Saudi Arabia shutting down 1/2 of its oil production! More at the source.

Losing 1/2 of the oil produced by Saudi Arabia is going to have widely resounding consequences around the world, especially if it lasts any prolonged amount of time. Being that the Iranian backed Houthis have promised more attacks, my guess is the results will be long lasting. One way to put an end to it all would be a swift and devastating attack on the Houthi strongholds within Yemen  - maybe with tactical nuclear weapons. Not many would mourn the loss of the Houthis and any collateral damage will only make for political ammo because in truth there are not many in the world who even have a clue where Yemen is located let alone give a damn about its people. All that is even more likely true especially when the world's oil supply is at risk.

Mind you, lesser things have started world wars. I do not mean a nuclear attack on Yemen when I say that. I do mean a shortage of resources such as is going to be caused by the loss of oil in what would otherwise have been available had the Iranian backed Houthis not attacked the Saudi oil fields. It may also cause a worldwide economic collapses which almost certainly would have the planet on the brink of another world war. 

My guess is that a country thinking strategically, tactically and diplomatically could come to an agreement with other nations around the world that would result in a unanimous decision to destroy the Houthis with overwhelming force. Truthfully, I believe almost no one would give a damn about the destruction of this terrorist group once and for all other than to ultimately agree it was the right decision (expected oil prices of as high as $100 per barrel and the resultant price increases in everything from butter to arse wipes, if this goes long term, will help that decision to look very good). My guess also is also that Iran will have learned a valuable lesson. If not they could be targeted next and that is exactly why I'd be willing to bet they would learn the intended lesson. They almost certainly would, as a result of such an attack, drastically better their behavior on the world stage. 

Iran claims they were not behind this attack (source) but that claim is extremely doubtful as the Houthis long have been supported by Iran regarding their terrorist activities. Regardless, the Houthis have already claimed responsibility and maybe they well deserve whatever comes there way - be it the wrath of God in the form of plague and pestilence or the wrath of Man in the form of utter nuclear destruction.

Why Do Female Islamic Terrorists Surprise Anyone?

I think I have said it recently before today but I will say it again, I am amazed that anyone is surprised when a female commits and act or acts of islamic terrorism (fuck no I will not capitalize islamic when referring to islamic terrorism). Women have been known to be taking active roles in ilamic terrorism for years now; yet, when we witness something like the recent terrorist attacks in Burbank - way to many of us seem shocked that a woman played a part in the carnage. It happens time and time again and we need to wake up to that fact. There are indications of it all around us, here is one of the latest.



The figures appearing in this photo are all reportedly Islamic women who were
raised in the USA and Australia and are dead set on Jihad against those countries.

We also need to wake up to the facts that terrorists are already here in the USA, they have been here for many years awaiting the right time when their numbers are high enough to stage more attacks. In addition, we need to slap ourselves in our faces and wake up to the realization that we need to sharply curtail if not outright stop the influx of Muslims into this country who would harm us. The easiest way to do that would be to stop all Muslim immigration, another way would be to give them all lie detector tests (although it would not be as sure a method as stopping all immigration). If moderate Muslims decide that means we are at war with islam, then so be it - islamists are the ones who started it and who continue it no matter what. History is my witness as to that last statement.

His Captor Was A Frenchman...

...as much as the guy in the following picture was in reality a Frenchman:

This guy is probably more of a real Frenchman
than any Muslim currently living in France.

So, it is being reported that: "A French journalist supposedly a captive of Muslim Extremists, for several months in Syria, but who was freed last April reportedly has identified one of his captors as a Frenchman - Mehdi Nemmouche. He is also a suspect in the murders of four people at the Brussels Jewish Museum earlier this year. Right now, Nemmouche is in custody for those killings, which took place in May, after the journalist's release (source).

Note that even though held captive for months, the journalist reportedly was quoted as saying the man who held him captive and tortured him was a Frenchman. The media readily reports the suspect as such without even one tiny hint of a mention, in the linked article, that the guy is a Muslim who is an Islamist extremist or that he is a terrorist or at least a suspected terrorist.

Whom are they trying to appease by hiding that? Is it President Obama who runs along that same line. Is it the terrorists themselves. Or, is it the real French People, those whose ancestors have lived in France for millennia and who really are Frenchmen or Frenchwomen. Just because someone is born in France does not a Frenchman make him, even if French citizenship is bestowed upon someone born within the borders of France. What that makes them a is a citizen and nothing more. That a French citizen is not necessarily a Frenchman should be obvious from the loyalties and actions of those like the 'French' Muslim who allegedly kidnapped, kept captive and tortured the journalist. 

So, if it is the French people that the media is trying to appease, how would it appease them by telling them that the terrorist is a Frenchman. Well, it is a way to keep the true French from joining in mass and coming down on France's Muslim population like a cleansing tidal wave full of fury and violence. If you call the responsible people what they truly are - Muslims and terrorists, then the French might realize they are a separate group within France that does not have any French interests at heart and the French may retaliate in mass. However, if you call them Frenchmen, then the French may well hold off waiting for the authorities to handle them as they would other Frenchmen because one usually feels some sort of solidarity for their own, even if their own has committed a heinous act. The thing is, Islamic Extremists should not be handled like every other Frenchman because they are not Frenchmen. They have made that obvious in France with their racism geared toward the true French, their self chose path of segregation from the French, their insistence on their own laws over the laws of France and by repeated acts of violence against the French. Sooner or later the French will realize they have had the French flag pulled over their eyes  by the Muslims, the leftists and the politicians they have manipulated. Once they pull it away and open their eyes again, the Muslim population in France will be in imminent and mortal peril unless it radically changes its tune. Of course, if the French don't pull that flag away soon, they are doomed to become subservient Islam. They are on the edge and what they do in the relatively near future will tell.
