Even conservatives are failing to recognize the stakes here, not that … we’re in favor of sending American troops over to defend or die in Ukraine; but … this is a country just like the Republic of China on Taiwan that deserves its independence from … Russia. I mean, what has happened to the conservative movement, Jeff, where even people who claim to be conservatives on Channels like Fox News are failing to stand up for freedom and independence for freedom-loving people?

The Russian government has announced that all four of its fleets will be going to sea soon. Over 140 ships of the Russian Navy, all at one time, will be leaving port. The exact date has not been given as of this writing. Moscow is calling this “a drill.” At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin is going to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping on 4 February.
In addition to troops and aircraft, Russia has been massing Iskander-M ballistic missiles near Ukraine. The State Department has ordered the evacuation of the families of U.S. Embassy personnel in Ukraine. It is advisable that U.S. citizens in Ukraine get out of the country while they can, because the U.S. Government is not going to rescue them if they get stuck in a war zone. Presently, Russian military aircraft are forward deploying to Belarus. Russian mechanized infantry divisions have been positioned in Belarus, north of Kiev. There are numerous reports of Russian nationals crossing the U.S-Mexican border illegally.

Hebrew 11:38 : ” of whom the world was not worthy”.
Quietman: no, rather NATO is being led by consideration of Turkish objectives and foreign policy, Turkish and Islamic militant. Recent events in Kazakhstan were likely intended to create a new Syrian style conflict bordering Russia, complete with Islamic militants (remember the beheadings of police officers?)but failed due to quick CTSO action, for now.
The Russians will not attack anytime soon, not when the whole world is now watching them and Western armies are on alert.
They’ve feigned attack at least a dozen times since their capture of Crimea and incursion into Donbass. They’ll do this for fun, to test out response, and to normalize our attitude to just another Russian drill.
They’ll strike when no one is expecting it or paying attention.
I should point out that this notion you have of surprise attack is something of a myth. War requires thousands of actions to mobilize and prepare. It cannot be done without detection. In order to carry out effective attacks you cannot go from peace to war in a snap. You have to mobilize in plain view of everyone while offering a false or diversionary explanation; for example, that you are taking back Ukraine or Taiwan, etc. in this way the stupid Americans do not match your mobilization and are unprepared for a larger war. Mobilization is war. And every surprise attack is preceded by some kind of mobilization. Before Pearl Harbor the U.S. military knew the Japanese were going to war with us. They undoubtedly did not understand how effective the Japanese were, and did not know exactly what the Japanese would do, but they knew something was about to happen. The commanders at Hawaii were surprised because they lacked imagination. They did not imagine Japanese Air Fleet could travel all the way to a position north of Hawaii to launch air strikes.
Perhaps the operative phrase is “when no one is expecting it or paying attention”.
Obvioiusly no-one is now paying attention, so necessarily we’ll be surprised.
And as to what is being expected: David Wilkerson in his 1980’s book ‘Set the trumpet to thy mouth’ predicted the burning oil-fields and blackened skies of the Gulf War. If memory serves, he also wrote the following: “a crazy dash for peace will fail..Peace seems attainable, at precisely the moment the enemy is gearing up for war’.
What’s even more asinine about the US Navy’s lack of preparedness against Japanese surprise attack, is that Japan’s surprise attack on the Russian Pacific fleet in harbor at Port Arthur in the beginning of the Russo Japanese War of 1904-5 was still within living memory in 1941 and had been studied by every Naval academy in the world, including the planners of the British sinking of the French fleet in 1940 and the same men who sank much of the Italian navy in the same year.
Yes. And Billy Mitchell predicted in the 1920s that a war with Japan would begin with a Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor using aircraft and submarines. But who listened to him? He was kicked out of the Army Air Force on a court martial.

Link about China buying up grain in anticipation of summer 2022 war in Ukraine- a major grain exporter.
China’s buying grain is a war prep.
Jeff,
Thank you for what you do to communicate honestly what is going on in the world. I think I first heard about you on a Secure Freedom Radio podcast with Frank Gaffney. I bought your book “The Fool and His Enemy Toward a Metaphysics of Evil” and it is packed with wisdom. At this point, our best hope is to ask God for wisdom and have the courage to act courageously whatever the circumstances,
Praying is a good thing to do at this point. Yes.
Yes, the people of this world ought to fast & do penance like the Ninevites, but I doubt they will. It’s more likely that they will only blaspheme The Most High even more as is written in the book of the Apocalypse.
Ships anchored off of Mexico cannot be boarded and searched by our Coast Guard like those off of Los Angeles. Could this have strategic significance?

A LA Metro bus driver told me that his brother in law is a longshoreman in LA, and that he was directed to stay home and collect his paycheck. The slow down is deliberate.
Yes. It is. And the Longshoreman union is communist-directed.
No, I don’t think the container ships are full of troops, not yet.
Remember our build-up to the invasion of Iraq? It took just days to get our troops over there. It took three months to get all the war supplies for our men to use. If those ships are full of war materials, it makes sense to delay emptying them until the supplies are needed.
Could be…. Not good for ships to be backed up if troops are in them….
Are you suggesting that this is actually a smart defensive move, or just dumb luck?
Neither.
Pride and prejuduce
If enemy troops are on those boats trying to invade and the commie long shoreman’s union is inadvertently keeping them at sea, how long can they last out there before expiring like so many typical illegal aliens?
I do not know. It is entirely speculative.
Doesn’t have to be troops. Can just as well be equipment.
The Trans Pacific Partnership, underwent several incarnations with different titles so throw people off track, but was always the same agenda. It was supposedly so that humongous Chinese ships could unload in Mexico, to be shipped up the Midwest to Canada by rail, and evade the Longshoreman’s and Teamsters Unions. I now wonder if it wasn’t to smuggle in enemy troops?

A wise old man once told me, “Son, you should learn to read a woman within one minute of observation. Barring that, ten seconds of her speech will tell you everything you need to know.”
You guys are too, inscrutable for me. Are you sure you’re not Chinese?
Let me check. Hold on.
Re Covid stats – this article has a good roundup of information, stated in plain terms, including sources.

(thought I posted this in the appropriate chain but it didn’t show up!)
Here is a point to ponder that has not been discussed yet: A nuclear-armed Germany. How would the Russians react to the sudden announcement that Germany has built up (secretly) a nuclear arsenal, mounted, say, on a few hundred state-of the-art long-range supersonic speed-capable stealth mobile cruise missiles? Impossible to keep such a secret, you say? Well, the Germans have kept secrets before. Their attack on Poland in 1939 and on Russia in 1941; the Ardennes offensive in 1944. Ah, but intelligence collection has much improved since then, one might counter. But even the Israelis surely do not know everything about Iran’s nuclear weapons research, perhaps even some very critical aspects. Why could not Germany keep such a buildup secret *if it wanted to*? Germans are among the world’s top engineers. and in various aspects. Surely they could keep such an effort secret if they really tried.
Unexpected surprises are a part of history. And a nuclear-armed Germany was likely the primary fear of the Soviets during the cold war. With so many Russian formations in then-East Germany, they would never have tolerated it during that era. But they are all much further away now, so their reaction, I think, would be one of trepidation, enough to give them real pause, albeit with a tinge of humiliation. Still unlikely, many would say, given Germany’s internal politics. But not totally impossible. The late(?) economist Paul Erdman posited such a scenario at the end of one of his novels (I forget specifically which one). It involved the sudden deployment of German nuclear-armed cruise missiles in conjunction with the announcement of a new Russian-German nonaggression pact, coupled with the booting of all U.S. forces from German soil. Really, a possible scenario within the next 20 years, so long as no serious conflict breaks out in the meantime??
I do not understand. You introduce a completely gratuitous thesis, with no evidence, with no likelihood, without any discussion of German politics — for what purpose? It detracts from a very real event that is unfolding. If you were in sports, I would tell you to KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL.
