US gets a nasty surprise in Ukraine

Something has got to change in Ukraine, for sure. The plea by 30 left-wing US lawmakers from President Joe Biden’s Democratic Party on Monday seeking a negotiated settlement with Russia to end the Ukraine war was an extraordinary event.

In the US Congress, they form part of a nearly 100-member block called the Congressional Progressive Caucus, chaired by Pramila Jayapal, a representative from Washington state. They are a motley crowd of democratic socialists and self-styled “progressive capitalists,” but what the party bosses cannot ignore is that they stand in the way of the Trumpist juggernaut, and their potential to defeat Trumpism may be crucial in 2024.

Therefore, the Biden administration’s low-key initial response to their plea on Ukraine cannot be taken as the last word. In the past few days at least, there has been no tirade against them in the US commentariat.

Several extraneous factors are also at work. For a start, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s planned visit to China comes so soon after the unveiling of the US National Security Strategy in Washington, which visualized China as the enemy. Europeans are dissenting.

French President Emmanuel Macron called on the US to take the lead to engage with the Kremlin, echoing what Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been demanding. There is discontent in Europe, hit hard by the economic crisis, that the American oil companies are “war profiteering.”

Lurking below the radar is the hidden truth that Ukraine is a basket case with a non-functioning economy. The US cannot expect its European allies to keep that economy afloat.

Meanwhile, a massive military Russian buildup signals plans to launch a major offensive in a few weeks from now, aiming to end the war on Moscow’s terms.

However, dovetailing with all this is an unthinkable development casting shadows on the US-UK tandem navigating the Ukraine war, which may turn out to be the ultimate clincher.

What emerges is that UK Defense Minister Ben Wallace’s secretive visit last week to Washington was more in response to a summons from the White House than a British initiative. Wallace said in a dark tone as he was leaving that there were things to be discussed that were far too sensitive to reveal.

At any rate, after the flurry of phone calls on October 22 by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu with his French, British and US counterparts regarding the possibility of Ukraine using a “dirty bomb” in the war, the foreign ministers of France, the US and the UK promptly issued a joint statement rejecting “Russia’s transparently false allegations” and called it “a pretext for escalation.”

Nonetheless, acting on the Russian allegation, the International Atomic Energy Agency has been told to undertake an investigation. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Rafael Grossi, the agency’s director general, on Monday and “welcomed the IAEA’s readiness to visit Ukraine.”

Blinken also spoke with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Monday and, strangely enough, “called for continued Western unity and support for Ukraine.” But, interestingly, the State Department quietly removed from its website the US-UK-France joint statement.

This was when Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov disclosed on Monday: “Detailed information indicating the institutions that may be commissioned for this purpose was conveyed through the defense minister [Shoigu] during his contacts with his counterparts in the United States, Britain, France and Turkey. More contacts are planned between our defense ministries.”

It is no secret that Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) and Special Air Service (SAS) are in the driver’s seat in the Ukrainian military command in Kiev and on the front lines. The paradigm is something like the tail wagging the dog. MI6 calibrates the dynamics of the war while the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Pentagon claim success for Biden’s Russia strategy.

I was just reading about the new drones the Russians are using. They’re Iranian drones that the Russians have modified to work with their Glonass GPS system.

They are cheap, commercially available for about $15k, and can carry about 50 lbs of explosive. They have a range of hundreds of miles and can fly faster than most others. With the Glonass GPS, they are as accurate as our HIMARS. The Russians are supposed to have bought 2400 and are building more. These can take out every electrical substation in a city within minutes, or converge in flight to hammer one target repeatedly.

We can throw every sophisticated anti-air system we want to into this fight, firing million dollar missiles, but when the enemy can launch a dozen or more drones at your position, over and over again, you’re in trouble.

Now, the Russians dare us to touch their system. They know that our space assets are sitting ducks. Yes, we can blow up their satellites too, but can you imagine the impact on our world if GPS stops?

I have been following this Ukrainian Telegram Channel (with an inside source inside the OP) for 5 months now. Their information has been accurate the entire time about all the machinations of the Zelensky regime.

The following posts have been posted over the last 6 weeks.

Our source in the OP said that the Office of the President is ready to create a dirty nuclear bomb to contain Russia. A headquarters has already been set up on Bankova with nuclear scientists and the military, who are urgently preparing a group for the development of nuclear weapons.

Our source in the OP said that the Office of the President continues to negotiate with the UK on the transfer of nuclear weapons to Ukraine. During the Johnson premiership, agreements were reached that Ukraine would receive several charges to deter Russia if the Kremlin threatened to use nuclear weapons. With the coming to power of Truss, the process of negotiations stalled and we are forced to look for ways to create a dirty nuclear bomb ourselves.

Our source in the OP said that the Office of the President is pushing for long-range missiles, including ATACMS , for the sole purpose of having the tools to deliver the dirty atomic bomb that our nuclear physicists are working on. Bankovaya believes that the best argument against the Kremlin is its own nuclear missiles.

source in the OP said that after Zelensky’s statement about a preventive nuclear strike on Russia, Britain curtailed the negotiation process on the transfer of an atomic bomb to us. MI6 oversaw this track, but due to pressure from the State Department, the discussion process itself was stopped, and London refused to be a party to the conflict, even if the transfer would take place informally.

The United States is trying with all its might to “influence” the Office of the President, which has recently begun to show many independent decisions and carried out a number of controversial operations even for the West, which led to an escalation of hostilities. This also applies to the unprecedented statement about the accelerated entry of Ukraine into NATO, and the high-profile murder of Dugina, and the attack on the Crimean bridge.

The Western media promptly hurried to “dissociate” the influence of Washington and the EU on these incidents, but Bankova had to quickly change her position, which was especially noticeable from the statements about the explosion on the Crimean bridge.

Moreover, Western curators directly warn the Office of the President that if the trend of “arbitrariness” continues, then assistance from partners will “decrease” even more.

source in the OP said that the US Embassy in Ukraine demanded that Zelensky stop his rash actions in Russia. Brigitte Brink conveyed to Yermak claims from the State Department regarding the explosions on the Crimean bridge and the murder of Dugina, all the initiative of the Office of the President greatly irritates the White House and takes the conflict with Russia to a new level, which is difficult to predict.

Our source in the OP said that the United States demanded that the Office of the President stop the track with the withdrawal from the Budapest Memorandum. The Biden administration was dissatisfied with the independence of the GUR with the murder of Dugina and the explosion of the Crimean bridge, which is why they demanded that Yermak stop any uncoordinated operations. Information escalation of the situation with a dirty atomic bomb is dangerous for Ukraine and can become a catalyst for a new escalation in which the West does not want to take part.

Our source in the OP said that the Office of the President continues to work on the return of Ukraine’s nuclear status. Bankovaya believes that Russia’s aggression can be deterred in two ways: join NATO or possess nuclear weapons.
