Cable Cutting Just in Time to Delay WW3
According to the article, Zelensky's offer is counter-balanced by a stipulation that the Ukraine come under NATO's protective umbrella:
Fat chance. Rather, Mr. Zelensky should expect that Russia will insist not only on no NATO or EU membership, but that the country pursue an Austrian policy of neutrality. That neutrality would, I suspect strongly, be defined by Russia as also excluding certain western corporate and NGO actors and foundations as well, e.g., Mon(ster)santo or any related big agribusiness companies, Blackrock, and so on. There's little the West can do other than resort to cutting off Russia's access to the West's primary exports: unwinnable wars, bluster, petulance, and puerility and putting a high tariff on any Russian exports of adult behavior and reason. The Russians know bluster, petulance, and puerility when they see it, because they went through more than seven decades of it with the Communists. The Ukraine is, sadly, learning the lesson the hard way. Thank you Victoria Nuland, your place and legacy in history is secure. All of this brings us to the problem of those cut cables in the Baltic, and to a bit of high octane speculation that I wish was my own (article courtesy of S.D., with our thanks):
In case you missed it, here is the core of the argument that these cut cables were no accident, but a bit of hybrid warfare on China's part:
and last and not least:
The careful reader will have noted not only that China appears to be cooperating quite readily with Russia in this respect, but will also have noted a nasty potential implication hidden in this timeline, an implication which, once perceived, is bound to have the analysts in Swampington DC, not to mention the British GCHQ, sweating and burning the midnight oil: for the timeline to have been acted upon so quickly, the Chinese merchant vessel had to have been in a position to do so within a day after the Biden Administration's authorization to the Ukraine to allow it to use long-range missiles to strike targets deep inside Russia. This implies in turn knowledge on Russia's, or China's, and very possibly bothnations' parts of the decision that the Biden Administration was about to make... ... and that in turn implies intelligence, the capability to know what was being talked about and planned, and how to respond quickly, without escalation. And that, as they say, is the rub: for how was that intelligence obtained? through signals intercepts and analysis? through actual human agents inside the highest administrative or command structures of the West and of the USA? Some combination of both? Either way, if The Gateway Pundit's analysis is correct, and I for one strongly suspect that it is, then behind the cable cutting may lurk a much more dangerous story, one that demonstrates considerable intelligence prowess on Russia's, or China's, or both nations' parts. And that should have anyone with even half-a-brain's competence in Swampington to have some second thoughts about escalation. The bad news is, the people at the helm right now do not appear to have even half a brain... See you on the flip side... (If you enjoyed today's blog, please share it with some friends.)

If you've been following the geopolitical news since President-elect Trump's victory in the American presidential elections, you'll have noted some things, not the least of which was Mr. Trump's threat to the entire BRICS bloc to use the dollar, or else face tariffs of 100%, about which I blogged just this last Wednesday. But besides this (in my opinion, reckless) threat, there have been other more sobering and to some extent more heartening developments: all of a sudden some of the nastier Middle East actors are desiring ceasefires, Mr. Nuttyahoo is being confronted with his own trials, and Mr. Zelensky - who foolishly allowed his country to be used as cannon fodder by American Neocons in a war it could never hope to win - is changing his tune(and you can bet it was in response to that phone call from Mr. Trump), and is now declaring that he'd be willing to cede territory to Russia in return for getting out of this war (according to this story shared with our thanks by V.T.):
