While news reports have focused on the Middle East for most of 2026, the war in Ukraine has intensified and its potential for continental spillover increased. Also, there is evidence suggesting the globalists are fomenting escalation. Writers for the Council on Foreign Relations say that America should prepare to join Central and Western Europe in an eventual war against Russia. A Russian spokesperson recently appeared on a popular American podcast saying that, at this rate, the conflict is indeed heading toward another world war.
State-controlled Russian media reported on Friday that a Ukrainian drone attack killed five Russian civilians and injured another 18. These are the latest casualties resulting from weeks of intense strike exchanges between the Russians and Ukrainians. The day before, Russia hit Ukraine’s capital, reportedly killing 27 and injuring dozens of other civilians.
Ukraine has, by all accounts, ratcheted up the pressure on Russia with effective attacks inside the Motherland that have disrupted energy flow, flights, and civilian life in general. The point of the attacks, Ukraine’s leaders have said, is to bring the consequences of the war to the Russian people with the larger goal of making Russia more amenable during negotiations…

I’m sure the generals have a plan for war with Andorra.
“The Globalist puppet masters are pushing the United States to war with Russia”
Most of those rotten, soulless globalists think there’s too many people anyway, so war is a great way to cull the herd.
“… there is evidence suggesting the globalists are fomenting escalation…”

Well…. DUH! 🤦🏼🤦🏼
This has been building since the fall of the Soviet Union.
The end of the Cold War was the worst thing to ever happen to the Military Industrial Complex.
The 'Peace Dividend' meant a massive loss of expected profits and a huge loss of stock valuation.
The Middle East Wars were little infusions of cash but not the sustained infusion of the Cold War that the industry grew to know and love.
Wouldnt surprise me and even though nukes are a big thing, other than that I don’t see much of a military threat since they can’t even handle Ukraine
Russian mir is fascinating
Currently, China is the bigger threat to the USA and the world.
sorry, Russia is not a threat to America at any level.
Maybe to the EU but not the US.
meanwhile, they’re always trying to steer attention away from the real threat.
china.
Everybody knows that Mother Russia is destitute and lacks both the resources and capability to go to war with anybody..... and especially with the USA. All Mother Russia has left are some missiles that can’t penetrate American designed air defenses.
By the end of July, just existing in Russian cities is going to be a problem for many of the poor souls who are experiencing life crumbling about them
Oh geez...this crap won’t work. Russia can’t even take out Ukraine, even though Ukraine had older weapons systems at first, then had to field several non-compatible systems from the West while conducting a war.
Other than Nukes, Russia is not to be feared for now.
Does the average subject of Russia get to live in air conditioning?
“U.S. Must Prepare for War With Russia”
Maybe the Leftist DREAM will come true after all!
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but military stocks are soaring. They haven’t done this well since Vietnam. Delivery times are now quoted in years for many items our allies want to purchase. So it’s unlikely they’re pushing for war as they can’t expand fast enough right now.
Also, if you don’t want to fight a war, then you had better be prepared to fight one right now. The other side will look over and say, “Okay, just kidding.”
“Other than Nukes, Russia is not to be feared for now.”
Why bring up little details? Onward to GLORY!!!
“Does the average subject of Russia get to live in air conditioning?”
Why bother?

In a practical sense, how useful are Russia’s nuclear weapons to Russia? How does having them advance it’s goals? I’m beginning to rethink the degree of advantage in life that nuclear weapons afford today’s countries what have them in stock. Thoughts? Are Russia’s nuclear weapons expensive for it to maintain in good working order? Does Russia have the means and forethought to keep them in working order? At what point of decline would keeping them working not be enough of a priority to do so for them?
And finally, what is required to push them to that point of decline where they have more urgent to-do’s than maintaining nukes?
After crushing Iran in two weeks, Trump has been pathetically weak at the Peace Table.
Putin will probably demand the return of Alaska.
For some reason after the fall of the Soviet Union wanted peace with Russia.
Maybe resentment for the 70 years of brutal dictatorship under Communism.
Maybe fear that the Soviets would rise again.
But peace really was a possibility.
But the powers in NATO weren’t ready to go silently into that Good Night.
The wanted to build NATO with the former Satilite nations of the USSR.
Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia, Albania, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia all of these were added to NATO after the end of the Soviet Union without any agressive acts from the new Republic of Russia.
Then there began talk of the the addition of Ukraine to NATO despite promises to Russia that the Ukraine would remain neutral back in the early 1990s.
Russia made it clear that this presented an exestential threat to Russia due to its naval bases on the Black Sea, Russia’s only warm water port.
What is the purpose of NATO after the end of the USSR? Is it just some place for the US to dump money and arms? Or is it just a good place to start wars?
What crap!
The U.S. will not go to war to save Europe ever again...
The moslem communist nations that now constitute most of Europe and the U.K. are on their own...
Russia can’t even beat Ukraine
It’ll be a short war
