If peace is on the way,
why are they feverishly
preparing for World War III...?
It appears to me that
NATO countries
are convinced that something really big is coming.
Is there something that they know that they
aren't telling the rest of us?
As I discussed
yesterday, things in the Middle East are really heating up, and
the conflict in Ukraine has reached a very dangerous stage.
If negotiations with Russia fail, both sides are
likely to significantly escalate matters in a desperate attempt to
win the war, and the Russians could come to the conclusion that a
final showdown with NATO has begun.
We do not want the Russians to view the conflict
in Ukraine in those terms, because they are already extremely
paranoid and it wouldn't take much to push them over the edge.
Unfortunately, NATO countries continue to do
things that will raise tensions instead of easing them.
The following are 7 actions that NATO countries
are taking which indicate that something really big is coming…
#1 France is getting
ready to distribute a 20 page survival manual that instructs
citizens what to do if
a full-blown war erupts…
France is the latest country set to issue
an invasion survival how-to guide for its citizens.
The 20-page booklet will give advice to
French civilians on how to defend the republic in the face
of an invasion by signing up to reserve units or local
defence efforts.
It will also have tips on how to create a
survival kit with essentials including six liters of water,
canned food, batteries, and basic medical supplies.
#2 The French government
is also telling their citizens to leave Iran
"immediately"…
French authorities on Thursday requested
its citizens to immediately leave the territory of Iran.
The French Foreign Ministry has issued a
warning to its citizens amid the release of one of its
nationals who had been imprisoned in Iran for over 880 days.
#3 It is
being reported that military planners in the UK have ordered
special forces units to get ready to be sent to Ukraine…
Special Forces units were told to prepare
for mobilization to Ukraine by military planners tasked with
readying forces by the Cabinet Office, according to two
military sources with knowledge of the directive.
The command centre for UK military
planning, the Permanent Joint Headquarters (PJHQ), was sent
directives last week to begin the process for the deployment
of personnel and resources.
The orders, which also applied to Special
Forces reservists, put personnel on standby in order to
ensure military equipment is in working order before
receiving a notice to mobilize to Ukraine.
#4 Turkey has announced
that it would also be willing to deploy troops to Ukraine
"if needed"…
Turkey would be ready to deploy troops to
Ukraine as part of a broader peacekeeping mission if needed,
a Turkish defence ministry source said on Thursday.
"The issue of contributing to a mission... will be evaluated with all relevant parties if deemed
necessary for the establishment of regional stability and
peace," the source said.
The Russians have already stated that they
will never accept NATO troops on Ukrainian soil under any
circumstances.
So why are these nations preparing to send
troops anyway...?
#5 Poland is preparing
for a showdown with Russia by
"conscripting
every adult male for military training"…
Warsaw is preparing to face down any
invasion by Vladimir Putin by conscripting every adult male
for military training.
But the Eastern European nation also
wants nukes and President Andrzej Duda has now said the US
could send some of its arsenal to his country.
#6 The Baltic states are
jointly constructing
a massive defense line that includes six hundred bunkers,
tank ditches, dragon's teeth and rocket systems…
The Baltics are building a joint defence
line on their border with Russia that will have some
six-hundred bunkers across each border.
It will also include tank ditches,
forests, dragon's teeth, hedgehogs, and rocket systems.
Poland and the Baltics have also
withdrawn an international treaty banning anti-personnel
landmines as they prepare to stop an advancing Russian army
in its tracks.
#7 In a letter that was
delivered to the Iranians, Donald Trump has given Iran
only two months to reach a peace agreement…
President Donald Trump has given Iran a
two-month deadline to reach a new nuclear agreement,
according to a report by Axios.
A letter sent earlier this month to
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned of consequences
if Tehran continued its nuclear program while also offering
renewed talks.
The message, described as uncompromising,
made clear that prolonged negotiations were not an option.
According
to Axios, it,
"isn't clear whether the two-month clock begins
from the time the letter was delivered or from when negotiations
start".
Since the Iranians have already said that there
will be no negotiations, I would assume that the clock started when
the letter was delivered.
So the good news is that the bombing of Iran will
probably not happen next month.
But if Trump is serious,
there is a very good
chance that it could happen before the midpoint of this year.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainians just conducted an
absolutely massive drone strike on a Russian strategic bomber
airfield that is located
hundreds of miles from the front lines…
Ukrainian forces backed by Western munitions
and technology struck a major Russian strategic bomber airfield
on Thursday with drones, 435 miles from the Ukrainian front
lines.
The strike ignited a massive explosion and
sent a huge blast of fire into the air at Engels-2 airbase in
Russia.
Videos posted by Reuters showed a huge blast
spreading out from the airfield and wrecking nearby cottages.
Russia reportedly called this the largest
drone attack ever.
The Ukrainians keep trying to provoke the
Russians into doing something really dramatic.
One of these days, the Ukrainians might just
succeed...
The Russians are fed up with the government in
Kyiv...
If negotiations with Trump fail, I expect the Russians to
bring down the hammer.
We really are right on the verge of an
apocalyptic conflict with Russia.
We really are right on the
verge of an apocalyptic conflict in the Middle East.
The final exit ramps for both of these conflicts
are rapidly approaching, and so let us hope that global leaders make
very wise decisions in the months ahead...
