WTH? Janet Yellen Makes ‘Surprise’ Visit to Kiev to Announce Another $1.25 Billion in Aid to Ukraine

Putin is a KGB dictator, but I've said that before, many, many times. IF ANYONE DISAGREES, PLEASE COMMENT!


I disagree. The KGB doesn't exist, anymore than the SS or the Stasi does.

Ruslan kubay was surprised to receive a draft notice in late January. Registered as seriously disabled since childhood—Mr Kubay is missing both hands—he falls under a list of automatic exemptions from service. Even more surprising, however, was the reaction of officials at the local registration office in Drohobych, near Lviv. Far from admitting their error, they doubled down and declared him fit for service. Only a social-media post and a subsequent national scandal reversed the decision.

Mr Kubay’s case was an extreme, but far from isolated, incident. Ukraine has visibly stepped up mobilisation activities in the first two months of this year. There have been reports of draft notices issued (and sometimes violently enforced) at military funerals in Lviv, checkpoints in Kharkiv, shopping centres in Kyiv and on street corners in Odessa. Popular ski resorts lie deserted despite the first proper snows of the winter: footage of military officials snooping around on the slopes was enough to keep the crowds away. In every town and city across the country social-media channels share information about where recruitment officers may be lurking.

B-B-but, I thought every Ukrainian was super eager to go fight, and that dragooning gov goons were practically unnecessary?

The NYT said so this time last year:

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/10/world/asia/ukraine-draft-dodgers.html

Meanwhile, new Ukie Laws require Government agencies to designate at least half of their staff Draft eligible:

"A Policy Error of Historic Proportions"
1997 letter to President Clinton by US cold warriors who opposed Nato expansion.

By JOHN LEAKE

When Dr. McCullough and I started this Substack, we agreed that he would primarily focus on COVID-19 scientific-medical scholarship, and I would investigate how the COVID-19 pandemic response is related to other major public policy issues. Occasionally, some of our readers have exhorted me to “stay in our lane”—that is, to remain focused on matters pertaining to the COVID-19 fiasco.

Because Substack is a free speech platform, and because we welcome critical opinions, I have never felt compelled to respond to these exhortations to “stay in our lane.” To some degree, I consider my critics to have a valid point. As Fitzgerald elegantly put it in The Great Gatsby, “Life is much more successfully looked at from a single window.”

On the other hand, I believe my critics are overlooking a point so obvious that it might as well strike them in the head with a baseball bat—namely, the same corrupt government nincompoops responsible for the COVID-19 fiasco are also responsible for every other catastrophic policy blunder they are currently afflicting on mankind.

For example, let’s take the U.S. government’s catastrophic mismanagement of its relations with Russia the last thirty years. I have closely observed this disaster in the making since I moved to Vienna, Austria for an academic fellowship in 1996. On the plane to Vienna I read the July 15, 1996 Time Magazine cover story about how secret American advisors helped Boris Yeltsin to win that year’s presidential election.

Even at the time I remember thinking it was a bit presumptuous to think that it was perfectly okay for American agents to meddle in a Russian election, and I wondered how Americans would feel if it were reported that Russian agents had provided clandestine assistance to Bill Clinton in his 1996 presidential campaign against Bob Dole.

I read the Time cover story with keen interest, because for many years I’d been an avid student of 20th century Russian history. Yeltsin’s presidency marked the total triumph of American interests with respect to Russia, which had suffered a decisive loss of the Cold War. As I saw it—living in Austria, whose neutrality the Soviets had recognized and respected since 1955—in 1996 it was up to the Americans to welcome and assist Russia in becoming a partner with the West.

The following year, I read the news of how the Clinton Administration had decided to expand NATO membership to the east, ever closer to Russia’s border, and I wondered about the rationale for doing this. Though I’d never really known what to make of Henry Kissinger, I found his “Balance of Power” thesis compelling.

1866 cartoon by Daumier, L’Equilibre Européen,
We humans are constantly making assurances of our good will and altruism, but it’s a rare man or woman indeed who doesn’t press his or her advantage if a disagreement arises. This is why the the Soviet Premier Khrushchev refused to tolerate U.S. nuclear missiles in Turkey, and why President Kennedy refused to tolerate Soviet missiles in Cuba.

I therefore believed I understood why 50 major U.S. foreign policy experts—including top cold warriors such as Robert McNamara, Paul Nitze, Richard Pipes, and Stansfield Turner—wrote a letter to President Clinton on June 26, 1997, stating the following:

We, the undersigned, believe that the current U.S.led effort to expand NATO, the focus of the recent Helsinki and Paris Summits, is a policy error of historic proportions. We believe that NATO expansion will decrease allied security and unsettle European stability for the following reasons:

In Russia, NATO expansion, which continues to be opposed across the entire political spectrum, will strengthen the nondemocratic opposition, undercut those who favor reform and cooperation with the West, bring the Russians to question the entire post-Cold War settlement, and galvanize resistance in the Duma to the START II and III treaties; In Europe, NATO expansion will draw a new line of division between the "ins" and the "outs," foster instability, and ultimately diminish the sense of security of those countries which are not included;

In NATO, expansion, which the Alliance has indicated is open-ended, will inevitably degrade NATO's ability to carry out its primary mission and will involve U.S. security guarantees to countries with serious border and national minority problems, and unevenly developed systems of democratic government;

In the U.S., NATO expansion will trigger an extended debate over its indeterminate, but certainly high, cost and will call into question the U.S. commitment to the Alliance, traditionally and rightly regarded as a centerpiece of U.S. foreign policy.

Because of these serious objections, and in the absence of any reason for rapid decision, we strongly urge that the NATO expansion process be suspended while alternative actions are pursued. These include:

—opening the economic and political doors of the European Union to Central and Eastern Europe;

—developing an enhanced Partnership for Peace program;

—supporting a cooperative NATO-Russian relationship; and

—continuing the arms reduction and transparency process, particularly with respect to nuclear weapons and materials, the major threat to U.S. security, and with respect to conventional military forces in Europe.

Russia does not now pose a threat to its western neighbors and the nations of Central and Eastern Europe are not in danger. For this reason, and the others cited above, we believe that NATO expansion is neither necessary nor desirable and that this ill-conceived policy can and should be put on hold.

https://notthebee.com/article/us-releases-video-showing-russian-fighter-jet-colliding-with-american-drone


The Pentagon's European Command just released this video showing two Russian Su-27 fighter jets buzzing a U.S. MQ-9 reaper drone and spraying it with fuel – the second one colliding with the drone's propeller and forcing it down into the Black Sea, according to the USAF:



From the US Air Force:

Two Russian Su-27 aircraft conducted an unsafe and unprofessional intercept with a U.S. Air Force intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance unmanned MQ-9 aircraft operating within international airspace over the Black Sea on March 14, 2023. Russian Su-27s dumped fuel upon and struck the propeller of the MQ-9, causing U.S. forces to have to bring the MQ-9 down in international waters.


"Unsafe"? Is the US Air Force concerned about the safety of Russian pilots now?

Kind of creative to dump burning fuel on it, imho. I didn't even know that was a possibility.

What I've heard is they were dumping fuel on it to disable it in order to recover it. The drone is flying at several 100 miles an hour, and when it runs into a liquid at that speed, the propellers are disabled if not destroyed. The fuel wasn't lit on fire, it's just being used to damage the propulsion system.

I've also heard that it's unlikely the Russians actually hit the drone with their jet and if they did, that would have been a mistake. This was done to capture the drone.

The drone is there because it's part of the Ukrainian war. It was an entirely legitimate target.

Look, a nation that actually prosecutes their own people for war crimes:



Although, he was given a suspended sentence:

https://cultureru.com/russia-sentences-soldier-who-admitted-to-war-crimes-in-ukraine/

So, no real punishment. At least they aren't putting somebody like Julian Assange in prison to experience a slow death. It's not a large step up, but it's a step up, a minuscule one.

The US once set the standard for the world, and I think still does, but we've allowed that standard to be drastically lowered.

If we improve our nation's morality, we'll improve the world's morality - dragging them up kicking and screaming - let them kick and scream, but we need to bring up our own nation's morality. We can be the greatest nation in the world, but we need to deal with those that actively prevent it first. We do seriously have domestic enemies, we just need to expose them to be rid of them and stop being in this fugue of "we're always right". Who is "we"? I'm not part of the psychopathic Neocons.

But why waste so much money on some border dispute in Europe when Americans couldn't afford food? Hitler didn't do anything to us. In fact he was great antiglobohomo leader if you think about it.... And I'm sure their central bank was much less evil than our central bank, because everybody knows nothing is more evil than our central bank.

Knowledge of Russian is quite useful, contrary to what some Patnetters think:

https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/5876339?tg=
and https://t.me/anatoly_nesmiyan for March 17

Любопытный приговор по тривиальному сегодня обвинению в распространении фейков о российской армии был вынесен в Хабаровском крае. К условному сроку был приговорен военнослужащий, который в августе прошлого года рассказал, что застрелил мирного жителя на территории Украины.

Судя по приговору, его осудили не за убийство, а за то, что его рассказ суд счел клеветой в адрес второй армии мира, которая, конечно, не убивает мирных жителей.

Фактически это означает, что в случае огласки случаев военных преступлений судить и карать будут не за сами преступления, а за факт их обнародования. Любопытная и многообещающая практика.

Translation:

A curious verdict on a trivial today accusation of spreading fakes about the Russian army was handed down in the Khabarovsk Territory. A soldier was sentenced to a suspended sentence, who in August last year said that he had shot a civilian on the territory of Ukraine.

Judging by the verdict, he was convicted not of murder, but because the court considered his story to be slander against the second army of the world, which, of course, does not kill civilians.

In fact, this means that in the event of publicity of cases of war crimes, they will be judged and punished not for the crimes themselves, but for the fact of their publication. An interesting and promising practice.
