Nuclear Gunslingers In the Last Chance Saloon
Nobody is swallowing the media lies about the Nordsteam pipeline. America's dirty fingerprints are all over the job, and the whole world has seen President Biden's video confession from several weeks ago. Germany -now facing economic meltdown- knows very well who severed the energy supply, and so does Ukraine. Realising the game is up, puppet-President Zelensky has rush-released a video of himself signing a formal application to join NATO. The real war is about to begin.
You can tell Zelbo's wetting his
pants now. If he'd put half the effort into diplomacy that he put into
his PR campaign, there might have been something left of Ukraine to
bargain with. But the river of dollars was flowing like wine and... now it's too late for ifs and buts. Like the friendless
stranger in a spaghetti-western saloon, he's got no hope left unless his
Uncle Sam can burst in through the doors with a pistol in each hand. But the trouble is, Uncle Putin has pistols too
Up until this week, the interweb's favourite Prez had had a good war. But like all ham actors, Zelensky's ego grew as fast as his (Swiss) bank-balance. After six months of seeing his own face grinning from every screen on earth, he fell heavily for the illusion of his personal importance. Then the Russian pipelines to Germany were blown up, and within 48 hours Vladimir Putin threw a party to celebrate the recapture of Ukraine's "Russian" regions. No amount of PR and photo-ops can paper over these kind of cracks in the narrative.
CRY FOR HELP
He may be an odious, posturing luvvy, but Zelensky's been in movies long enough to know what happens in the final reel, and Clint Eastwood he ain't. His latest -rather clunky- video sees him posing at a table which is out in the street for some mysterious reason. (Perhaps his wife won't let him put up cameras in the front room). Wearing his best solemn face, Zelbo makes a big deal out of putting his signature on what appears to be a two-page letter to NATO. Presumably the text reads:
Dear NATO, please let me into your fab club. The Big Bad Bear is at the door and nobody comes to visit anymore. David Beckham has cancelled Wednesday's photo-shoot. I would like somewhere nice and quiet to live, preferably a long way from here. Your pal, Vlody.
P.S. Send more cash to the usual place.
In what may have been attempt to appear tough and resolute, the Hero of Kyiv was flanked by a couple of extras of the sort who answer adverts in Stage magazine for "brutal roughneck characters". I'm guessing they're 'generals' of something or other. Unfortunately, the presence of two bulky geezers merely emphasised what a tiny, insubstantial creep Zelensky really is. I do get the impression he's woken up to the possibility that he -personally- might have outlived his usefulness in the Great Game he 's been kind enough to host.
In any case, this was the televisual equivalent of a flare going up from a sinking ship. It is also, alas, the mask coming off the mainstream narrative of Evil Russia Attacking Innocent Europeans. If Ukraine is brought into NATO, that means NATO nukes on Russia's borders and even BBC viewers should be able to figure out where this leads. Being of the elder sort, Daily Telegraph readers might also be joining the nuclear dots, around the point where the Prozac wears off and the sherry kicks in.
Let's quickly review the hand that has been played so far between NATO and Russia.
WEST: I bet a line of short-range missile silos in Poland and 13 chemical weapons labs in Ukraine.
EAST: I'll invade Ukraine, shut your labs and take back the Donbass region.
WEST: I'll raise you $40 billion of arms and cash the Ukrainians can squander at will.
EAST : I'll conscript 300,000 more troops.
WEST: I'll shove 700lbs of explosives down your gas pipeline.
EAST: I declare victory and re-take all four 'disputed' regions of Ukraine as Russian territory.
You can see Zelensky's problem. Regardless of the nonsensical propaganda on our western state TV 'news' the Russian military now controls all the 'disputed' terrories in Ukraine and will not be leaving. At some point -and it better be soon- Ukraine will have to strike a deal -and without NATO'S official support that will be surrender -leaving the people of America and Europe to figure out why the entire European economy has been slaughtered to no purpose.
But if Ukraine is admitted to the NATO borg-hive, Russia has a nuclear pistol stuck right in her face. Bluntly speaking, the miltary/industrial complex running the USA would probably settle for a 'limited nuclear conflict' followed by a peace-treaty -on one condition. That condition would be that all nuclear events be confined to the European theatre of war. It may be that this would also be acceptable to Putin himself. Readers can draw their own conclusions regarding the short-term implications for life in Britain. One way or another, it could all be over by Xmas.
