@ rightymouse:
That one shows the essence, seems obvious that the the ship had mechanical / eletrical problems. Other wing flappers on Xwitter are pointing at electric arc flashes from cables being ripped apart at the top of the bridge as “proof” that there was a planned demolition going on.

POTatUS said he remembers that bridge very well as he crossed it many times on a commuter train…
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
I checked the NTSB report that was released and they said
” A ship crashed into a bridge. ”
They are the experts, and they release a preliminary report or news release usually within 24 hours of an incident.
What happens then a year or so later is they release a full report. That is usually hundreds of pages and reads like a Hollywood script for a disaster movie.
As in what the involved people were doing for a week prior to the accident, who they were bonking, what they had for breakfast, what the tyre pressures were on the car they drove to work in.
The final NTSB report will be a full, comprehensive and accurate report of how this happened and the cause and recommendations as to prevent it happening again. I will trust the NTSB totally.
Unless there is a government cover up……….

Nah, the bright shiny lights on the side of the ship were just the lights they use when working on the deck. Not an indicator that the ship lost all power. The navigation lights were still on.

Typically the fingers of the Military Industrial Complex are yet again and typically ‘muddying’ the waters and as it always is it is all about the Corporate Power and the $$$$$$s.
https://www.twz.com/news-features/more-money-for-flying-drone-that-makes-missiles-think-its-a-warship-on-navy-wishlist
There has been an operational location deception drone flying successfully for the past 45 years BUT and it’s a big BUT this drone was NOT manufactured by a US Corporation and therefore is refused to be recognised officially as real. Not that the USN didn’t quietly equip a few USN destroyers with this technology years ago.
It’s called the NULKA system and works very well indeed, but suffers grievously for being owned and manufactured by an Australian company, for multiple navies around the world, and NOT part of the US Military Industrial Complex.
Same thing happened about a decade ago when RocketLabs invented, manufactured independently, established independent launch facilities and designed the satellite systems used all in-house. DARPA took freight, as did IAI’s (Israeli Aerospace Industries) chief rocket engineer, who accompanied me when she visited RocketLabs facilities in Auckland. At that stage I was representing IAI and IMI in NZ and we had been attempting to market anti-ship missiles to the Royal NZ Navy. The lady was in shock from what she saw what RocketLabs had produced, from a bunch of guys and gals numbering just 28 employees. At that time RocketLabs had built sounding rockets mainly for University research in Europe and the US. Aeotea I and II.
The IAI head of rocket engineering attempted to market an Israeli Stage One booster to RocketLabs but the CEO Peter Beck (aged at that time just 28 years) just smiled and said thanks but no thanks. Little did I know that Pete and his crew at RocketLabs NZ had already manufactured their Electron orbital capable launch system and were about to test.
The research that sprang from the 28 crew at RocketLabs NZ was revolutionary to say the least. They could manufacture an engine in a week using additive tech and could spin out a carbon fibre rocket body in a few days. The guys manufacturing the rocket bodies had been poached from the world class techs in New Zealand’s racing yacht manufacturing cohort. Their engine ‘test ‘range was in the cellar of a modern commercial building in Parnell, a leafy suburb in an inner city suburban street. They rented the cellar and two floors of research labs in a building surrounded by houses and a railway track in a suburb.
DARPA and the US Navy soon appeared on the scene and the rest is history as they say. Needless to say the US Military Industrial Complex INSISTED that the US take over the company …. or you guys will never work on this planet again! RocketLabs USA popped up fully formed with RocketLabs NZ now a 49% owner and Peter Beck a 10% holder of stock. Over the years RocketLabs has maintained its R&D in Auckland and rather than launching from the Mercury Bay Islands just east of Auckland where a couple of friendly Kiwi entrepreneurs allowed launches from their island. RocketLabs built a bespoke launch range at Mahia on the eastern tip of the North Island, now a dual launch site with Mission control in a huge R&D facility in Mt. Wellington in Auckland where the Electron systems were initially built before the engine manufacture was moved to California and a second Range built off the Virginia coast in the US.
RocketLabs USA using NZ based R&D is now about to launch their medium weight ‘man-capable’ launch system the Neutron rocket in 2025. The dual Kiwi Mahia launch site is being heavily used but the Mt Wellington R&D site has moved away from launch R&D and into high spec satellite development. Headcount at RocketLabs is just under 1,000 in NZ at Mt. Wellington and the Mahia sites and multiple thousands in California and Virginia USA.
My point was that DARPA and the USN demanded and strong armed RocketLabs NZ into getting taken over by US interests …. ‘or you will never work on this planet again’. The US Military Industrial Complex writ large!
Currently RocketLabs USA (nz) has launched a NASA probe, designed and built in NZ to a Lagrange point between Earth and Moon where a manned facility is being planned for as a ‘way station’ between Earth and Moon, surveyed landing sites for missions to the Moon’s South pole where water ice has been identified , and has a Venus orbital mapping visit later this year, as well as the regular orbital Electron launched into LEO orbits.
Point is that the proven NULKA Aussie system was never allowed to win a contract to supply to the US government … except a few undercover purchases for a few USN destroyers…. because you can’t win when playing with the US Military Industrial Complex. Just as RocketLabs found out too!
I guarantee the the Lockheed LEED system will match the NULKA system by strapping more endurance tanks on and Lockheed will then charge the USN TEN times as much as an off the shelf NULKA that has decades of R&D behind it.
Talk about the US Military Industrial Complex ripping off the US capability spectrum with more gold plated toilet seats!
Sheesh!

The Territory is out of control with very high aborigine youth crime and weak ‘progressive’ administration. Think California crime stats on steroids with uneducated children and youth, who have been molested by family members, and criminal family members indulging in communal crime mostly against other aborigine families and the general public.
All of the suppressed tribal evil that was endemic within aborigine society up until the 1920s when it was mitigated by mission schools and hospitals has been building up a head of steam over the past 60 years and is now exploding especially in isolated large towns like Alice Springs. Drugs, alcoholism, with the total breakdown in aborigine families has erupted in criminal lawbreaking.
Many pre-colonial superstitions and tribal pay-back cults that included tribal cannibalism, by fellow family members against children under 4 years of age. Black-demonology and cultic practices (women’s knowledge) by black women who kept child numbers down by forceable interventions. Cultic ‘Bone Pointing’ poisonings, retribution pay-back spearing, tribalistic theft, and the like, were pretty well controlled by the late 1920s, but it seems to have been building up a head of steam since the 1960s and is now being manifest in the NT. The Marxists also are appearing to be making their moves with aborigine groups and seem to be radicalising isolated aborigine communities.
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
Opposition, Shadow Indigenous Affairs minister Jacinta Price, who is a VERY smart and feisty aboriginal woman is calling for Prime Minister Albanese’s political head, for allowing this state of affairs to reach boiling point. Albanese is the equivalent of Biden without the dementia but wedded to corruption and endemic stupidity and is controlled by the Hard Left factions of the Labor government.
Jacinda Price is a future conservative Prime Minister in waiting, and when her time comes will be Australia’s first indigenous Prime Minister. Can’t happen soon enough, as the opposition coalition parties are run by the US equivalent of RINOs.

I was visiting Sydney many moons ago and decided to pay a visit to Saint Mary’s Cathedral next to Hyde Park in downtown Sydney for 1000 High Mass. Cardinal George Pell was saying mass and the cathedral was packed to the rafters. There was even about 50 Muslims seated in a few pews near the front. The Sydney Symphony orchestra was also there as were a LOT of choristers.
After the Canon of the Mass was over the Hallelujah Chorus ERUPTED and everyone as is traditional stood up in the pews. St Mary’s was swamped in this most wonderful piece of music and angelic voices. I thought that the visiting Muslims looked as if they were about to pee their pants!

The best post I have seen on the Dali mishap
Enough with the conspiracy theories please!
I own and operate an 85′ research vessel and have had a maritime masters license for over 20 years. I worked the Columbia River for 13 years as a towing and salvage operator and my current company doing research charters for 10 years.
Here is what I see in the video footage and my educated guesses as to what happened.
The ship departed its berth and turned 180 degrees to head out toward the FSK bridge and to sea. The tide was just at the end of the ebb and most likely there was still some water movement out on the falling tide which was near 0.2 feet above MLLW (tidal measurement standard), the lowest tide of the day.
Some things about large ships that pertain to this discussion.
The pilot is an invited guest on the ship to assist the master and helmsman navigate a waterway they are not as familiar with. The pilot is an expert in the local waterway, he knows the water depths, buoy characteristics, such as sound signals, colors of the mark and the lights, the flashing patterns, he knows the proper courses to steer to stay in the channels, the bridge clearances, the tide heights and currents, radio channels to monitor and probably the names of the tug operators and mails birthday cards to their kids. The pilots are intimate with their operating area.
The master of the vessel is the king, but in nearly all cases he defers to the pilot but legally he is in charge. The helmsman actually controls the vessel and does what he is told by the pilot, the master can override the pilots suggestions, but that would be extremely rare. The master should know the vessel, like the pilot knows the area and the ships chief engineer should know all the mechanical aspects of the ships systems. I believe the root cause of this accident will lie with the engineer when all the pieces land.
The helmsman steers the ship, he has a course readout right in front of him and a steering lever or wheel to control the rudder. He also has a readout of the rudder angle, from 30 degrees port to 0 in the middle to 30 degrees starboard. The pilot may say, turn right to course 180 degrees and the helmsman will adjust the rudder to starboard some number of degrees of deflection (based on how fast he wants the ship to turn and how much of a change the next course line is) and hold it until the heading reads 180 and just before it reaches 180 he will apply counter rudder to stop the swing of the bow on the 180 mark.
The helmsman will continuously adjust the rudder slightly left or right to keep the ship on the proper heading. The rudder is rarely right smack on zero. There are many things affecting the movement of the ship, current, wind, bottom contour and ground suction effect plus the movement of the rudder and thrust of the prop. All these things add up and cause the helmsman to correct for these effects constantly.
From watching the video and reading the reports I have come to these conclusions.
The ship lost electrical power from a fault that we do not yet know. It came back on at one point, but then failed again.
The ship did not lose propulsion, the engine continued to run, but perhaps the helm lost control of shift and throttle for a time.
The helmsman had a slight right rudder input when the ship lost electrical power, the rudder is now stuck at this angle, perhaps only a half degree of right rudder, but enough that if not swung back, would cause a continuous slight turn to starboard. Now, if not corrected, the pilot sees that the ship is going to impact the bridge. The master calls engineering and requests backup generator, the engineer spools up the backup genset. These generators are huge, ~5,000 Horsepower and they take some effort and time to start up. A semi truck might be 300-800 HP, in comparison. They would barely fit in your living room, this is not like starting your lawn mower or honda car.
The engineer gets the backup gen started and then switches the breaker, which faults out like the main did. I suspect the faults are electrical, and the main breaker is tripping.
These ships are all fly by wire and the tech is generally fault free and there are regulations and standards that equipment manufactures have to adhere to. Companies like ZF make the hardware that connect controls at the helm to the engines and transmissions and Sperry make the steering controls and actuators. There are others, of course. I have ZF Clear Command controls in my vessel and they have been flawless for 20 years. My steering controls are by Furuno as is my autopilot. These units all require power, my system is 120 volt with 12/24 volt failover if my generator quits, but the steering pump requires a generator to be running to have the hydraulic power needed to move the rudder. The rudder on my 85′ vessel will barely fit in a pickup truck bed. The one on the Dali is as big as a house. Hydraulics are required to move these rudders and the hydraulics require an engine running.
Back aboard the ship, the pilot sees that the ship is slowly turning toward the bridge and without rudder control he has no way to stop that swing. The Dali is equipped with a bow thruster, but is only useful to swing the ship at rest, or a very low speeds. The Dali is moving at about 8 knots, or 9mph. The bow thruster is ineffective at that speed and may also be driven by the same generator that is faulted.
The only control at hand is engine controls and the pilot would order full reverse, which result is the thick black plume of smoke seen in the video.
The ship is already headed for a allusion with the bridge, but the goal with reverse is to reduce the energy of the impact. The ship is carrying an incredible amount of kinetic energy, the mass is well over 100,000 Tons and velocity at 8knots so using 1/2mxVsquared I estimate 768 Million Joules of kinetic energy on a collision course with that bridge.
Ships propellers are nearly all right hand turning. Take a look at a ships propeller, the have tilted blades that shove water aft as they rotate. There is also a component of that thrust to the side which drives a ship stern to the right as the prop turns clockwise looking at it from behind, but in forward motion the rudder redirects some of this thrust to compensate for the paddle wheel effect or “prop walk”. In reverse, with the prop turning counterclockwise the thrust is sent forward and there is no rudder to redirect some of that thrust to compensate for prop walk, so when a ship is shifted to reverse, the stern of the vessel is “walked” to port, this also pivots the bow to starboard, and in the case of the Dali turned the ship even more to starboard guaranteeing an allusion with the bridge support. It was the correct decision, but too little and too late to stop the ship with all of that kinetic energy and the engine having 55,000 HP, could not stop the ship in the space available. The physics of ship handling are well known and this is an unfortunate result. The Dali has a large fixed pitch right hand turning propeller, coupled to a Hyundai built MAN diesel engine of ~55,000 horsepower.
When the ship hit the bridge, the result was expected and spectacular, there is no bridge in the world that could withstand that impact on its support. Bridges are designed with just enough material to carry their own weight, plus the maximum possible weight of the vehicles on them in the worst possible scenario plus a safety margin and horizontal strength to withstand wind. They are not designed to take a side impact of 768 megajoules.
There are reports that the ship dropped anchors in an attempt to stop the ship. I doubt this was actually done. They would not be effective. A ships anchor weighs in at about 5000 lbs and is connected to the ship by 2″ diameter stud link steel chain. If an anchor would have “caught”, the chain would have snapped like thread or the windless braking system would have exploded. If the anchor(s) (there are two) were in fact deployed, they probably would have just skipped across the sandy bottom and done nothing. If anyone would have told me to run forward and drop anchors, I would have quit on the spot. Imagine running 300+ yards forward, then trying to drop an anchor which usually takes some time, having that anchor chain whipping from the chain locker through the winch/braking system at 4 meter/second and then trying to apply a brake to slow down a ship. That would be a good way to suicide from shrapnel. I have seen a pic of the bow of the ship with an anchor chain running straight down from the hausepipe, if that would have been deployed while the ship was still moving forward, the chain would be seen running back along the hull, not straight down. I think that anchor was dropped to keep the ship in place after the alusion. I could be wrong on that.
So that is my analysis of this accident, you may have another, this one is mine. I do not intend to argue with those that have conspiracy theories or think that this was deliberate in any way. Feel free to ask questions or for clarifications but insisting thinking this was intentional in any way is off topic as far as i am concerned.

@ eaglesoars:
Excellent analysis Eagles by your subject expert.
Very large airplanes have exactly the same physics involved. NEVER unspool a powerful engine because of torque effects that roll planes onto their backs close to the ground. Also Momentum gets in the way when a pilot decided that he’s deep in an unspooled trap close to the ground. Even with a rudder awful deflection the airplane STILL rolls into its back and everyone dies because application of power isn’t ‘instant’ and momentum takes time to build (5 seconds or more from the ‘shit we need more power until the mass of the engine starts to provide useful thrust. The Iron Law is NEVER UNSPOOL A LARGE MASSIVE and POWERFUL ENGINE …. NEVER …. No too late, huge rudder application and prayer, is going to dig you out of that hole that you dug for yourself with poor airmanship!
Always keep the engine above 70% power and just dirty up the wing to restrict absolute velocity when just above the runway. At 70% power you can get INSTANT power from a ‘spooled up’ engine and everything is controllable and safe. Once unspooled you’d better already be rounding out and have the tyres on the ground and spinning up.

One intersection had water up to my wheel hubs, and I’m driving a 4WD F-150 with 20″ wheels. When I go through that pulling the trailer, the back end of it will end up in the water.
OK guys and gals. Fair warning given….
Now put down your coffee and turn your head and mouthful of coffee slowly away from the keyboard. Expect coffee to spurt from your nose. You have been warned!

The Era of Informed Consent is Over
by Victor Dalziel | Brownstone Institute
In a significant blow to patient autonomy, informed consent has been quietly revoked just 77 years after it was codified in the Nuremberg Code.
On the 21st of December 2023, as we were frantically preparing for the festive season, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a final ruling to amend a provision of the 21st Century Cures Act. This allowed..
…an exception from the requirement to obtain informed consent when a clinical investigation poses no more than a minimal risk to the human subject…
This ruling went into effect on January 22nd, 2024, which means it’s already standard practice across America.
So, what is the 21st Century Cures Act? It is a controversial Law enacted by the 114th United States Congress in January 2016 with strong support from the pharmaceutical industry. The Act was designed to…
…accelerate the discovery, development, and delivery of 21st-century cures, and for other purposes [?]…[emphasis added]
Some of the provisions within this Act make for uncomfortable reading. For example, the Act supported:
High-risk, high-reward research [Sec. 2036].
Novel clinical trial designs [Sec. 3021]
Encouraging vaccine innovation [Sec. 3093].
This Act granted the National Institutes of Health (NIH) legal protection to pursue high-risk, novel vaccine research. A strong case could be made that these provisions capture all the necessary architecture required for much of the evil that transpired over the past four years.
Overturning patient-informed consent was another stated goal of the original Act. Buried under Section 3024 was the provision to develop an
Informed consent waiver or alteration for clinical investigation.
Scholars of medical history understand that the concept of informed consent, something we all take for granted today, is a relatively new phenomenon codified in its modern understanding as one of the critical principles of the Nuremberg Code in 1947. It is inconceivable that just 77 years after Nuremberg, the door has once again opened for state-sanctioned medical experimentation on potentially uninformed and unwilling citizens.
According to this amendment, the state alone, acting through the NIH, the FDA, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), will decide what is considered a “minimal risk” and, most concerning, will determine:
…appropriate safeguards to protect the rights, safety, and welfare of human subjects.
Notice the term subjects, not patients, persons, individuals, or citizens…but subjects. In asymmetrical power relationships such as clinician/patient, it is understood that the passive subject will comply with the rulings and mandates of their medical masters. The use of the term subjects also serves to dehumanise. The dehumanisation of populations was a critical component of Nazi human experimentation and, as Hannah Arendt argued, is an essential step toward denying citizens “…the right to have rights.”
This ruling also allows researchers and their misguided evangelical billionaire backers to potentially pursue dangerous experimental programs such as Bill Gates’ mosquito vaccines, mRNA vaccines in livestock, and vaccines in aerosols. This Act encourages these novel and high-risk programs, with medical studies approved as ‘minimal risk’ by the regulators no longer requiring researchers and pharmaceutical companies to obtain patient consent. Yet, the histories of pharmacology and medicine are plagued with clinical investigations and interventions that were thought to pose no more than minimal risk to humans but went on to cause immeasurable pain, suffering, and death.
This amendment represents merely a first tentative step as the US government tests the waters to see what it can get away with. Given the lack of attention this ruling received in both the corporate press and independent media, the government is likely to feel emboldened to widen its scope. Thus, this decision represents the beginning of a chilling revisionism in Western medical history, as patient autonomy is again forsaken.
This ruling, to be actioned by potentially corrupt scientists, health bureaucrats, and captured health and drug regulators, is another step toward a dystopian future unimaginable just five years ago. No doubt the infrastructure to implement this decree is already being constructed by the same groupthink cultists responsible for the nightmarish pandemic lockdowns, continuing to place the pursuit of profit and the greater good above individual choice, bodily autonomy, and informed consent.
How much longer Lord? How much longer?

To eat the greatest meal there is the English way there are rules.
Fish and chips. The only accompaniment allowed is mushy peas, slices of white bread with real butter and a nice cup of tea with milk. Sugar is allowed in the tea.
Salt and vinegar is to be applied to the battered fish, the chips and the mushy peas however you must observe the time honoured and traditional ritual.
Vinegar first then the salt.
Anyone who uses salt first then vinegar should burn in hell…..

Anyway, tonight’s supper is liver and onions. The same liver and onions I ate about a few weeks ago two consecutive days.
Tonight is number three and I have two more portions left in the freezer.
A pound of liver goes a long way.

It was Mrs. Paul’s, but we didn’t care.
Nurse Lana at the clinic is from Ukraine. She kind of shrugged about the situation. “It’s war. It’s not going to stop until one of the two are killed.”
I asked her if her family was still in the old country, she said they were in Kiev. She invited them for Easter anyway.
She recommends the Netflix series “Turning Point – The Bomb and The Cold War”, says it’s pretty good.

@ coldwarrior:
An interesting admission from yesterdays’ Daily Telegraph… from Sydney
The story was about an AustralianRAAF “Wedgetail” aircraft being used to detect incoming missiles into Ukraine in an interview with ADF Chief of Joint Operations Lieutenant General Greg Bilton.
This part of the story stood out….
“Australian Defence Forces ground forces have shifted from training Ukrainian recruits in the UK and Poland, how to fight, to training junior leaders how to survive as the ADF concedes Ukraines’ troops are being wiped out in numbers akin to that seen on the battlefields of World War 1.”
Phhhhttttt!!!
WHAT!?
But, but, but…..Zelenskyy has stated, unequivocally, that the Ukrainians have only sustained 31,000 KIA after 2 years of fighting!!
Douglas Haig lost 2/3 that many Brits in 4 hours at the Somme!
Ever get the feeling we’ll only find out the truth about this war about 50 years from now….if ever?

@ coldwarrior:
@ lobo91:
I can’t definitely say this, without a full briefing, but I do know enough from personal experience to know how the system actually works. Given the profile of basic flying and mixing in personal experiences with exactly that profile, I have a pretty good image of what these Ukie pilots are going through.
That may or may not including an additional 6-8 months training on a light jet trainer/ light attack fighter once their propeller powered basic training has been completed. There is NO WAY IN THE REAL WORLD that a ‘newbie’ ab initio pilot migrates from a basic prop trainer, directly to a Gen #4 jet fighter. NOT IN ANYONE’s UNIVERSE! Anyone who says so it just spouting arrant nonsense and should be disregarded as propaganda and lying!
The fact that this course is training Ukie pilots from SCRATCH means that all or most of experienced Ukie pilots have been killed during the past 2 years of war. If the RAF are training Ukie pilots to a standard where they are not instant casualties, will take 6 months of VERY intensive ground training, another 8 months absolute minimum of theory and practice, to qualify for their ‘basic wings course’. Then comes a conversion course to get proficient in flying a light attack / Jet trainer and that will take at least another 12 months of really hard work. Then there is NO WAY to get a minimally trained student of a light jet trainer with probably under 300 hours total up to conversion training on a Gen #4 operational fighter in under 12 months before they can be let loose in an actual wartime squadron. Even then this newbie will be monitored and protected from really dangerous situations until he can build at least another 50 -100 operational hours in squadron.
By my calculations makes a total of about with, a few fudges for reality, 46 months of very hard work, to be useful in a wartime operational sense, that doesn’t see his operational lifespan cease before he reaches the 4 year career mark, when he gets shot down. This is the reality and not some pie in the sky musings, from a cub reporter looking to punch out some script for a newspaper, that will be fish and chips wrap, in a couple of days from printing! Otherwise the Ukie newbies will quickly end up dead in a 10 metre deep burned out hole in the ground somewhere.
Anyone telling you different is just blowing smoke up your arse!
The actual REALITY is that these 10 Ukie ab initial pilots are just WINDOW DRESSING for the real guys from the UK and Dutch airforces who will do the job in the F-16s! Even then they had better bring their A game with them on the day!
initial = ab initio

For Christmas I brought the clinic staff a couple dozen miniature rubber chickens delicately arranged in Easter hay in a fancy box. Nurse Lana thought they were yellow chocolates and tried to eat one.
I finally got to apologize to her in person, told her I was going to make up for it. I have a special little green rubber chicken for her that glows in the dark, and I added a tag DO NOT EAT THIS.
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:

This is a cool video. Someone edited together a ton of clips of them playing Survive over the years so you can see how much they’ve changed since 2017. It’s one of the few songs that’s still in their regular setlist from back then. Dany hasn’t changed much, aside from her hair color. Ale goes from being an awkward 12-year-old playing a bass that’s nearly as big as she is to a seasoned rock star. Pau’s playing style has changed the most. In 2017, she looked like Animal, the drummer from the Muppets. Today, she’s just happily bouncing along in her seat. She really learned economy of motion along the way:

Alas mate that may be correct, however once the Ukraine Russian war has reached its end point and all of more probably a rump Ukraine, will scuttle under the NATO cloak for protection.
Then the serious stuff begins to take place. All of the previous guarantees made to Russia by NATO will be abrogated. NATO seems wedded to breaking treaty guarantees whenever it suits them. What’s left of Ukraine will then insist that the US and Europe refurbish the wrecked Ukraine hinterland out of Western citizen’s taxes.Once stabilised Ukraine will insist on NATO moving forward hard against the Russian borders complete with assorted IRBMs that directly threaten Russian State with a decapitation surprise strike.
NATO seems oblivious to the Russian limited release protocols for Tac Nukes right down to Corps level tactical HQs. These operational plans have been openly published for just short of 50 years. Hell I’ve read translations myself. It’s NOT as if they are State secrets! The policy manuals are freely published!

Ukraine capitulates sometime within the next 12 months with the additional of tens of thousands more of dead on both sides
Russia holds the ground captured backed by the nuclear threat if the acquired lands is threatened then tactical nukes will be released in response.
What’s left of Ukraine joins NATO and demands that Europe and the US in particular pay for the destruction within Ukraine.
NATO moves tactical as well as IRBM range nukes within reach of Moscow and threaten a decapitation strike on the Russian State, that leaves no margin for response planning, except immediate strategic nuclear release upon the West including NATO members. WWIII
The Russian State can’t exist under such ‘hair trigger’ conditions of a decapitation strike from NATO
Russian prepares for a First Strike strategic attack due to the threat of a decapitation strike on the Russian State
WWIII is just a matter of when not if, in a state of affairs where a Nation State armed with 6,000 nuclear weapons has to endure the threat of national decapitation with almost no warning indefinitely.
Imagination a huge Russian nuclear force just 5 minutes East of the US’s major East coast cities. How long would that ‘hair trigger’ situation actually last before the pressure builds and WWIII erupts.
This is crazy and risks a world thermonuclear war over a petty Ukrainian tyrant and a nuclear armed major Russian tyrant? Why NATO appears to be gagging for WWIII is the real question that should be on everyone’s lips!
WHY?
Ask yourself who profits from mutual destruction …. other than the CCP that is?
