Highlight of Kunstler Post Today:
What also emerged in the tweet record of Yoel Roth, the company’s chief censor (former “Head of Trust and Safety”), begins to look like a gay mafia assault on the collective American psyche. Having gained official federal government sanction and protection, a statistically tiny homosexual demographic left in charge of the country’s main public forum has been out for revenge against their perceived enemy, political conservatives — Americans disinclined to join the cheerleading for drag queen story hours, “minor-attracted persons,” transsexuals in the military, and other LBGTQ cultural pranks."

This guy/girl is supposed to be the "Tip of the spear".
If He/She is this confussed about who/what they are; should they even be around a gun of any sort much less trained to a high degree of agressiveness?
[Garowe] For the last 15 years, both Kenya and Somalia have borne the brunt of al-Shabaab ...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... attacks, losing over 5,000 civilians and security officers besides struggling to build their economy which has been mutilated by the al-Qaeda-linked group whose operations have disoriented the functioning of respective governments.
Al-Shabaab represents a deeply rooted structural problem in Somalia and to some extent in Kenya. It is an entrenched, mafia-like organization, integrated into almost every facet of society, the economy, and government in the southern parts of Somalia.

In the opening months of the war, Russia's formidable arsenal of cruise and ballistic missiles was directed against a wide array of targets, from ground based air defenses to military bases and infrastructure. For more information on that stage of the campaign, please refer to my previous video on the subject.
But since October, Russia has turned both these systems and its newly arrived Iranian drones on Ukraine's critical infrastructure instead, particularly its power grid, sending millions into rolling (or total) blackouts.
These attacks have all the hallmarks of strategic bombing, an attempt to destroy the ability and will of a nation to resist by striking targets behind the lines. It seems reasonable to assume that Russia's focus has thus turned from using its best weapons to destroy military units, to coercing the population and Government of Ukraine to surrender.
That is not a new idea, and in this episode I examine the nature of the new Russian campaign, discuss historical strategic bombing campaigns and their outcomes, and try to build a better understanding of these attacks and what they might achieve.
Caveats:
Any attempt to discern exactly what Russia's intention is with these strikes is obviously limited by the fact that information on decision making in the Russian Government is extremely limited. This video is based on attempting to divine their motivation based on their actions.
I also want to stress that announcements by all parties regarding these acts should be scrutinized closely - including all discussion of damage or interception rates.
Estimates on production rates and stockpiles is subject to wide error margins.

It worked well against the Germans in WW11 and at times by us in our many wars. Only in Western media do you see this presented. The slaughter continues while the west continues their collective decline. Ukraine had a powerful well trained military(8 year build up also). I say had, as with Germany the Germans lost 68,000 experienced soldiers.The same has happened to Ukrainians. The west continues to shoot their own feet. New powerful alignments are occurring and not for the west. Biden will drag this out for every penny of our money.

Dale your comments early in the war that it would be over soon with a quick Russian victory and each subsequent turn in the war you have revealed your Russian bias, I do not place any confidence in you objective analysis of the crisis.

Doesn't it all depends on what you mean by 'Strategic Bombing'? My father had a copy of Alexander de Seversky's Victory Through Air Power(1942) that I read as a kid. Later (much later) I read John Ray Skates' The Invasion of Japan(1994) and Robert A. Pape's Bombing To Win:Air Power and Coercion in War(1996).
The problem with strategic bombing is that the defender starts thinking "*Yawn* So now what are you going to do that's worse than what we can already survive...? Kill entire cities with 'Go Full Mongol' ghoulishness?"

#2 I deal with reality. We have been feed a constant diet of propaganda. I am glad to see India develop into a powerhouse. So now as each day passes the coverup will be fully exposed. We will soon see. Certainly the war is over. You have NATO and troops from many countries working in place of Ukrainians. Send me money send me equipment the beggar begs on and on.

^ There once was a suave Hilter-smoocher,
A globalist, socialist moocher
Who begged for our stuff
When the going got rough;
Whom the press gave a pass
As they praised him en masse!
Propaganda? You bet!
And we bought it... and yet...
When he looked in the mirror
He muttered, "Oh, dear...
I'm that cute little Jooo in the future!"
[Conservative News] Joe Biden is quietly trying to fundamentally transform the country. He’s working hand in hand with the radical Left to do it. Now one disturbing George Soros and Joe Biden plot being exposed has Democrats panicking.
President Joe Biden is trying to force his extreme environmental agenda on the entire country.
He’s declared war on American energy production with the stated goal of ending the use of fossil fuels.
While Americans are suffering from rising energy prices, President Biden’s been pushing for a "great transition" to forms of green energy that simply are not yet technologically advanced enough to produce the amount of energy needed to replace fossil fuels.
Now, a radical left-wing environmental group linked to extremist billionaire George Soros is advising President Biden to make his most insane environmental move yet.
The Soros-funded group, Governing for Impact, which has advised the Biden regime, issued a policy memo to lawmakers outlining how to use existing federal law to end the use of gasoline.
The memo produced in collaboration with Evergreen Collaborative claims that the Clean Air Act gives the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulatory authority to control or ban the sale of fuel used by motor vehicles.
"The Clean Air Act provides the Environmental Protection Agency with a number of tools to reduce air pollution," the memo states. "One powerful provision is Section 211(c), which authorizes the EPA to ’control or prohibit’ the manufacture and sale of any motor vehicle fuel (or fuel additive) if resulting emissions will endanger public health or welfare (or impair emissions control devices)."
The memo added that this gives the federal government the authority to force gas stations to set up electric vehicle charging stations to reduce air pollution and incentivize the use of green energy.
This memo states its purpose is to "empower advocates and policymakers" to carry out the groups’ ultimate goal of a complete ban on the use of gasoline.
The Clean Air Act could be used to ban gasoline in the name of protecting "public health" from the effects of climate change.
The memo noted that the Supreme Court would almost certainly strike down this interpretation "despite the clear text of the statute."
Governing for Impact was established in 2019 to help prepare a Democrat Presidency to advance radical left-wing policies, but like much of what Soros does, it’s operated in almost total secrecy, out of view from the citizens all over the world harmed by the policies it promotes.
"Governing for Impact hides in darkness, but evidence overwhelmingly shows they whisper in the ears of Biden Administration regulators," Capital Research’s Parker Thayer told Fox News. "The fact GFI now advises the government to issue draconian regulations that could enrich their largest donor, Mr. Soros, should anger Americans in both parties."
The group has produced legal policy memos for at least 10 federal agencies under the Biden regime.
Joe Biden and the radical environmentalists are hell-bent on ending the use of oil by any means necessary.

The memo noted that the Supreme Court would almost certainly strike down this interpretation "despite the clear text of the statute."
We just had a SCOTUS decision striking down another Fed agency which did the same damn thing (for not having clear statutory authority to ban petrol in its entirety), and now they're gonna try it again.

Further weaponization of the government against the American people. How about trading Soros for Marine Paul Whelan being held by the Russians?
[SOCOM] One of the easiest ways for people (e.g., potential employers, criminals, etc.) to get information about you is through your online presence. Anyone can research you with just a few clicks of the mouse and a quick Internet search. It is important to know what is publicly available about yourself, and then decide what to do about unwanted information.
Review your social media accounts and available data aggregator websites to determine what, if any, negative or unwanted information is out there about you. Remember, your close contacts (including family members) may have unintentionally exposed information about you. Therefore, it is important to review what others may have posted about you, posts you have been tagged in, or other associations that make you easier to find.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
