Scott On Europe.

Economic suicide. It is now a fait accompli and there is no going back. 

But here we have our court moron Hamish DGB. He demands this: 

Europe must consider a No Fly Zone to protect civilians in Ukraine - let’s not prevaricate as we did in Syria.

We? Who we? UK? This military and economic chihuahua? Well, why don't UK try this. The US won't, USAF for all its bluster and Hollywood propaganda machine will not last very long there. But then again, looking at (lack of) the intellectual level of NATO intel and military machine--this is a collection of chest-thumping amateurs.

COFM and TOE.

One either gets it or not. For those who get it--world events lose their mystery. 

Oh, Please ...

Retired Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, who served as an adviser to President Trump, breaks down what's known about the "mother of all bombs," which sources say was discussed in relation to the Iran war. McMaster also reacts to Mr. Trump's latest comments on the Russia-Ukraine war. 

Yes, "historic lows on defense" per him. Yep, $1.5 trillion. The only thing US generals like him are "good" at is talking about spending. Fighting wars? Nope. This dude has Ph.D in ... history. We know what kind of history. 

Meanwhile, France is burning. Now, the weapons store was robbed in Marseille. That's the start!

Marseille, Lille, Paris--shit is hitting the fan in industrial quantities. Maidan, all the way.
