So PM Modi is visiting the EU talking peace. Will they listen? Of course not. The war is simply too beneficial to the EU war industry.

Is this the way things are going? The local dufus with the giant Trump flags in the back of his pickup now has added a RUSSIAN flag.

So will Putin accept defeat?

My opinion of Zelensky went up a bit now that he allowed the defenders in Mariupol to surrender.

America continues to up its dangerous game in Ukraine with the delivery of new howitzers.

So I came accross a YouTube vid of the old Dire Straights song “Brothers in Arms” set against those oh-so-heroic Ukrainians fighting the nasty Russkies. Nationalism is so seductive.

Looks like the European Civil War in the Ukraine has settled into into a Great War struggle from trench to trench with its artillery duels. I hope that’s how it stays. Meanwhile, much of the world suffers from grain shortages as the Russians and Ukrainians fight it out to see who has the bigger dick.

So things aren’t going so great for Zelensky at the moment, but things are often a see-saw battle. Certainly Europe is committed to fighting the Russians to the last Ukrainian, as the cliche goes.

So G7 is apparently just another anti-Russia anti-China alliance. What a bunch of clowns with their shirtless jokes.

My question is: Is time on the side of Russia because of its size, or with Ukraine with its endless supply of ever more advanced weaponry from NATO? I guess my money would be on the Ukraine. Unless…a big recession or even a depression hits the West? America pushes China into a war? A huge famine hits the world because of the war? Israel nukes Iran?

From the NYT:
“ It is not a crazy strategy. As The Times’s Jim Tankersley reported last week: “White House officials fear a new round of European penalties aimed at curbing the flow of Russian oil by year-end could send energy prices soaring anew, slamming already beleaguered consumers and plunging the United States and other economies into a severe contraction. That chain of events could exacerbate what is already a severe food crisis plaguing countries across the world.”
Bloodthirsty Europeans may have to pay a steep price to humiliate the Russians. Are the up to it? Probably. No Frenchmen or Germans have died. And American oil company profits have soared. Lots of new arms ordered. Politically opposition in America is limited to a right wing fringe. Even Michael Moore is keeping his mouth shut. I don’t think he’s commented on the war since March.

So Russell Brand has finally chimed in on the Ukraine war. Is the pro-war consensus starting to fray? Are people starting to realize Ukraine is being used as cannon fodder for US interests?

So that great military expert Dick Morris claims on Newsmax that Ukraine is “Potentially winning decisively”. Even Jordan Peterson realizes that Russia losing might be a very dangerous thing. I’m hoping there will be a negotiated ending to this.

So the magazine of the European Establishment, The Economist, has its headline this week “Getting The Job Done”. The job, of course, is defeating Putin, and what a callous way of putting it. But how easily will he accept defeat? How willingly will he acquiesce to humiliation by Zelensky? Hiroshima taught the world that the ends justifies the means.
