Seymour Hersh: 'Something Else Is Cooking' In Ukraine

Seymour is at it again. Might need a grain of salt with this. Actually, anytime anybody refers to anonymous sources from the intel community, I think a great deal of salt is in order. A long article. Here is an excerpt:

[ZeroHedge] Zelensky’s desire to take the war to Russia may not be clear to the president and senior foreign policy aides in the White House, but it is to those in the American intelligence community who have found it difficult to get their intelligence and their assessments a hearing in the Oval Office. Meanwhile, the slaughter in the city of Bakhmut continues. It is similar in idiocy, if not in numbers, to the slaughter in Verdun and the Somme during World War I. The men in charge of today’s war—in Moscow, Kiev, and Washington—have shown no interest even in temporary ceasefire talks that could serve as a prelude to something permanent. The talk now is only about the possibilities of a late spring or summer offensive by either party.

But something else is cooking, as some in the American intelligence community know and have reported in secret, at the instigation of government officials at various levels in Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, Estonia, Czechoslovakia, and Latvia. These countries are all allies of Ukraine and declared enemies of Vladimir Putin.

This group is led by Poland, whose leadership no longer fears the Russian army because its performance in Ukraine has left the glow of its success at Stalingrad during the Second World War in tatters. It has been quietly urging Zelensky to find a way to end the war—even by resigning himself, if necessary—and to allow the process of rebuilding his nation to get under way. Zelensky is not budging, according to intercepts and other data known inside the Central Intelligence Agency, but he is beginning to lose the private support of his neighbors.

#1 The Voices! The voices tell Seymour things.

#2 Those who offer alternative thought oftentimes are criticized or belittled. More power to him. My attention upon another is showing promise, Kennedy said on Monday in a Twitter post. “It is about the political weaponization of the FBI to destroy a candidate and then a sitting president. It’s about a matrix of lies so elaborate as to make a mockery of the democratic ideal of an informed citizenry.” I see Democrats flocking to him in next election.

#3 I just found this tidbit, "RFK, Jr. Vows to Sue Medical Journals for 'Racketeering' if Elected". He is going to stir things up a bit.

#4 Actually, anytime anybody refers to anonymous sources from the intel community, I think a great deal of salt is in order.

The difficult process of de-anonymization is totally unnecessary. Groups of up to 51 are available and will readily sign nearly anything.

#5 I think Seymour got one thing right though:

Meanwhile, the slaughter in the city of Bakhmut continues. It is similar in idiocy, if not in numbers, to the slaughter in Verdun and the Somme during World War I. The men in charge of today’s war—in Moscow, Kiev, and Washington—have shown no interest even in temporary ceasefire talks that could serve as a prelude to something permanent. The talk now is only about the possibilities of a late spring or summer offensive by either party.

It seems that nobody in any position of power to do something about it gives a rat's ass about the boots on the ground who are dying.

#6 ^^^
The Chinese certainly find the idea of Russia and the arsenals of the West exhausting themselves to be an excellent prospect.

#7 The Ukraine war might be a cover-up and diversion for nefarious things such as the biowarfare labs being supported, human trafficking, and money laundering between the U.S. and Ukraine. Nothing like a dirty, destructive little war to get rid of evidence and line a lot of pockets.

#8 Let's see: OBiden giving Ukraine an unending supply of funds, and OBiden, possibly, not serious about resolving the debt ceiling.

Gee, you'd almost think OBiden wants the US to go default.

As for the $31+ trillion debt, does any sentient being really believe the US will pay that off?
