Yikes!

Doesn’t seem like it’s going great!

BBC News:

Ukraine has little more than 30 days left of fighting before the weather hinders its counter-offensive, the top-ranking US military officer says.

Speaking to the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, Gen Mark Milley said colder conditions would make it much harder for Ukraine to manoeuvre.

He admitted the offensive had gone more slowly than expected. But he said: “There’s still heavy fighting going on.

“The Ukrainians are still plugging away with steady progress.”

That is, in fact, utter bullshit.

Anyone can go on DeepStateMap and see for themselves. There has not been a single point at which the Ukraine has broken through the first (of three) lines of Russian defense.

Gen Milley said it was too early to say whether the counter-offensive had failed, but said Ukraine was “progressing at a very steady pace through the Russian front lines”.

“There’s still a reasonable amount of time, probably about 30 to 45 days’ worth of fighting weather left, so the Ukrainians aren’t done.

“There’s battles not done… they haven’t finished the fighting part of what they’re trying to accomplish.”

Well, dude.

What they said they were going to accomplish was… taking back Crimea.

That was announced, repeatedly, all through the media. All of those shitty doge meme Twitter accounts were saying it.

I remember.

These people can’t simply claim that there were not hundreds of articles published about the inevitability of the “counteroffensive” leading to a capture of Crimea.

Turning this into “actually, we meant to sacrifice tens of thousands of soldiers in order to occupy totally empty villages Russia was not even trying to occupy” is the kookiest thing I’ve ever seen.

Of course, anyone who supported the war in the first place is too stupid to remember things that happened three months ago.

Milley is obviously not a big supporter of this war. It’s his job to support it, but he’s not an unhinged lunatic like Nuland or Blinken, and he knew this was impossible.

It reminds me of those quotes from George Tenet after the US invasion of Iraq failed to uncover WMD…

I don’t know if this is true or not, but it seems true.

And POLITICO is basically not any different than NYT/WaPo in that they only print things the White House/CIA tells them to print.

So even if it is untrue, there are people in the government wanting you to believe it is true.

RT:

American officials have told Politico that they may have “missed a window” to push for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. Speaking anonymously, they conceded that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley “had a point” when he offered a grim pronouncement on Kiev’s chances for victory last year.

Milley is not a good person, but he’s old and gay and he doesn’t want to go down for this shit.

I think a lot of these public statements he made about how the war was impossible to win were attempts by him to get fired.

More than two months into Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russian forces, Kiev has failed to capture more than a handful of hamlets and villages in Zaporozhye region, and has lost at least 43,000 men and nearly 5,000 pieces of equipment in the process, according to the latest figures from the Russian Defense Ministry. Although the Ukrainian government still insists it can retake all of its claimed territory by force, Washington is increasingly unsure.

I still don’t understand how anyone in Washington actually thought this was possible.

I guess they watch CNN and read the front page of the NYT, and just think it’s all real – that the Ukrainians will win a war with a country with four (4) times their population and nearly twenty (20) times their GDP because “Ukrainians have heart.”

This is known as the “comics books are real life” theory of war.

Either that, or they knew this was going to happen and did it on purpose for some reason.

I have no idea, actually, because there is no way you could know that other than by guessing.

“We may have missed a window to push for earlier talks,” a US official told Politico on Friday, adding that “Milley had a point.”

Speaking in New York in November, Milley said that a military victory would likely be unachievable for Ukraine, and that Kiev could use the wintertime pause in fighting to enter negotiations with Moscow and avoid any further losses. 

Every military man knew this was true. But he obviously wasn’t supposed to say it.

Again, he was obvious covering his own ass, but I think he was also probably trying to get fired.

His comments reportedly angered Kiev and caused panic in the White House, which rushed to reassure the Ukrainian leadership that it would continue to support President Vladimir Zelensky’s maximalist aims – which include retaking Crimea, an historic Russian territory that voted to rejoin the Russian Federation in 2014.

Media reports suggest that Washington has been divided on the idea of peace talks since at least last year, with President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken vehemently rejecting negotiations, against the wishes of some members of the military and intelligence agencies. This split persisted as Ukraine geared up for its counteroffensive, with reports indicating that despite Biden’s and Blinken’s optimism, the Pentagon knew Kiev wasn’t ready for the operation, and the CIA expected it to end in failure.

This all seems basically true, based both on information we have and just what should be generally obvious: the military and the intelligence agencies are suing for peace, while the State Department (which is totally Jewish, and run by unhinged morons) were demanding endless war.

This “counteroffensive” was obviously not planned by military men, but rather bureaucrats who were apparently able to dig up supposed military experts to serve as yes men and tell them what they want to hear – that the Russians are a bunch of bumbling buffoons who was amazed when they entered the Ukraine and set eyes on modern appliances for the first time in their lives.

Again – maybe the Jews are not as stupid as they look, and wanted this debacle for some reason. I think the only possible reason they would do that is that they want to set up an excuse to send in US troops and trigger World War III, because they’ve calculated that war with both Russia and China is the only way Jews have a chance at maintaining global dominance.

Just to repeat: I don’t know which it is. I have no insider information, I am not a wizard with a crystal ball, all I can do is look at the public information and try to figure out what it means.

Pessimism is now spreading in the White House, another anonymous official told Politico, saying that the Biden administration is increasingly asking itself “If we acknowledge we’re not going to do this forever, then what are we going to do?”

The official White House line, obviously, was “as long as it takes.”

That’s hard to walk back.

Of course, they can just order Zelensky to say he wants to surrender before Kharkov and Odessa fall. Zelensky has to do what he’s told, ultimately. Burns from the CIA went there to try to convince him to do this months ago, but he’s taking orders from Blinken and Victoria Nuland, and refused.

(Of course, as I’ve said six million times, Zelensky himself tried to cede territory and negotiate neutrality in May of 2022, and Boris Johnson flew in on behalf of the US State Department and informed him he was not allowed to do that. So Zelensky personally does not really care.)

Milley has continued to suggest a diplomatic solution to the conflict. “If the end state is ‘Ukraine is a free, independent, sovereign country with its territory intact’… that’s gonna take a long, long time, but you can also achieve those objectives — maybe, possibly — through some sort of diplomatic means,” he told the Washington Post this week.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said that any negotiations will be held “not with Zelensky, who is a puppet in the hands of the West, but directly with his masters.”

So…….

Who the hell knows?

They have to escalate (send in the troops) or negotiate.

What some people apparently want is to allow Russia to keep what they have, but then allow the remainder of the Ukraine to join NATO, and I don’t think Russia is going to agree to that. They are holding a lot of cards, because the Ukraine really doesn’t have enough soldiers to do anything – at least not enough professional soldiers (they’ve got poor dumb assholes they pulled off the street).

Frankly, Russia has committed so much already, that it might not make sense to agree to any peace negotiations at all before they take Kharkov and Odessa – which is inevitable, short of a US intervention.

Of course, Russia doesn’t want a US intervention, and if agreeing not to take Kharkov and Odessa would prevent that, maybe that is the best for them. But I don’t think they are going to agree to NATO. Maybe if the Ukraine just surrendered Kharkov and Odessa, they would agree to NATO.

Everything is up in the air here. I’m not going to bullshit you by claiming I know what happens next. No one knows what happens next. Putin doesn’t, Blinken doesn’t, Milley doesn’t, and Zelensky definitely doesn’t.

You might end up with a black swan type event – a military coup in the Ukraine, for instance.

Or, the US might decide to drag this out until the 2024 election is finished being hoaxed, then send in US troops.

Who the hell knows?

Just in: total narrative reversal from the US government!

Script flipped!

(To be fair, Milley was not the one out there pumping this. He is a tool and a scumbag, but he has not really been a cheerleader, and has actually tried to call for peace but has been shouted down and told to shut up. After being told to shut up, he did shut up, but he still never really said all this kooky stuff you heard from Brandon and the State Department.)

RT:

Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russia will be extremely costly for its troops and will continue for a couple of months, US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley said on Friday.

Speaking at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, the top US military commander offered his take on the Ukraine conflict, saying, “it doesn’t surprise me at all” that Kiev’s much-hyped counteroffensive is going slower than expected.

“What I had said was this is going to take six, eight, ten weeks. It’s going to be very difficult. It’s going to be very long and it’s going to be very, very bloody,” he said, noting that Kiev’s advance has been hampered by Russian minefields.

“No one should have any illusions about any of that,” he stressed, adding that Ukraine is fighting for survival against a strong adversary.

People do have illusions of that, because of the US government’s propaganda machine, which said the Russians were a bunch of bumbling morons who kept forgetting to fill the gas tanks in their trucks. The entire narrative has been about portraying Russians as stupid, evil, and completely incompetent.

The world population was explicitly told that Russia is not a strong adversary. We were told, over and over again, for a year and a half, that they were weak and pathetic and running out of missiles any day now.

In terms of it being long, and there being progress in six, eight, or ten weeks – what is the evidence for this? It’s been almost four weeks – where is the argument that anything is going to change in the next six weeks? I mean, if ten weeks is the outside number, then we are approaching the halfway point, and there has been precisely zero progress.

Why would the plan to drive these tanks and trucks across open fields start working after weeks of failure?

We can all go on Deep State Maps, bro – that’s your own map. The line has not moved. They are still at the river, like they were in May.

More than 13,000 dead inside a month is no joke. And there is zero progress. Every time the Ukrainians “capture” some empty village where there aren’t even any Russian troops, they abandon it days later.

Russia had months to set up this line, and it’s a death trap.

This isn’t complicated.

Milley is a freak and a weirdo and should resign.

The Ukraine Military is blown out. They’ve shoved over 100,000 human corpses into their meat grinder, and they have nothing to show for it but small gains that will be lost in the winter.

The country does not have power. People are fleeing on a mass scale. Russia is preparing their Ultimate Strike Back.

Despite what the media says about how the Ukraine is “winning,” the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is calling for the Ukraine to negotiate, saying that they’ve maxed out their potential wins.

The Ukraine, however, is totally run by Jews who do not care how many Ukrainians die in this war, so they are angry that the US is questioning their decision to ritually sacrifice every young man in the country in this impossible conflict.

RT:

The administration of US President Joe Biden is attempting to reassure Ukraine that it is not pressing Kiev into any peace talks with Moscow after a top US general alluded to “a window” for a diplomatic solution to the conflict, Politico reported on Monday, citing sources.

According to Ukrainian and US officials interviewed by the outlet, Washington is signaling to Kiev that any winter lull in fighting “doesn’t mean talks should happen imminently,” while vowing to continue supporting Ukraine militarily.

Ukrainian concerns that the US could push Kiev into seeking a peace settlement with Moscow were fueled by recent comments by General Mark Milley, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, who said Ukraine could not achieve a military victory while noting that winter may present an opportunity for diplomatic engagement. “When there’s an opportunity to negotiate, when peace can be achieved, seize it. Seize the moment,” he stated.

Russia and the US held high-level talks in Ankara on Monday. The White House later insisted that any “settlement of the war in Ukraine” was not on the table, suggesting that negotiations revolved around nuclear weapons and US citizens in Russian custody, while Moscow has refused to disclose what the sides had talked about.

According to US officials, Washington’s mixed messaging on a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine conflict is “straining… [the] relationship” between Washington and Kiev. This is further underscored by an emerging rift between US officials, with some reportedly arguing that it is too soon for peace talks while others believe winter presents a chance for diplomacy.

The latter group has been pressing their counterparts in Washington to consider this opportunity “more seriously,” but they have so far failed to persuade US President Joe Biden and many members of his administration, the report says.

Moscow has repeatedly stated that it would not rule out talks with Kiev, accusing Ukraine of a lack of engagement. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has set out conditions for any negotiations with Russia, which include the “restoration of [Ukraine’s] territorial integrity,” “compensation for all war damage,” and “punishment of every war criminal.”

In October, he also signed a decree banning any negotiations with President Vladimir Putin.

That was the funniest thing this Jew ever did – “it is illegal, by official decree, for this war to ever end.”

This is the guy who wears a t-shirt to official meetings and does nothing but hang out with Hollywood celebrities and do cover shoots for fashion magazines.

Who would have thought that weird homosexual Mark Miley would be the voice of reason on the Ukraine issue?

Actually, I would have thought that, and I’ve said it for months. Miley is obviously aware that Washington wants World War III, and he’s also aware that the US Military does not have anywhere near the necessary readiness to go into a full-scale conflict with Russia and China. By calling for a deescalation, Miley is really just trying to protect his own job and legacy, as if a real war does start, he’s going to get blamed for the debacle that ensues.

This could help explain why Gen. Mark Milley is pushing for peace in Ukraine. From WSJ:

"The U.S. and some of its allies are concerned that their stockpiles of weaponry, including some ammunition, are being depleted at an unsustainable rate." https://t.co/FWhQiLN0xi pic.twitter.com/8QZLclE3xc

The fact that he is allowed to come out and put his own personal interests first demonstrates the kind of chaos that is going on in Washington. These statements about the need for negotiations are essentially what would be private advice to the president, but he’s just saying it publicly hoping someone will listen, and no one is reprimanding him.

Maybe he will get fired. That would be his second best option.

WALK IT BACK: Washington was blindsided when Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley said peace talks could happen between Kyiv & Moscow this winter. Miley's remarks left officials scrambling to assure Kyiv that the US backed the expulsion of RU invaders. https://t.co/hdKLBwAmRj

This Ukraine debacle is unbelievably dumb. The entire economy of the Western world is on the verge of total collapse, and there is zero explanation from anyone as to what is to be gained by ensuring that the Ukraine controls the Donbass, which is a very small, poor territory in the former USSR. We’re talking about an area the size of Ohio in the poorest country in Europe. Why does the fate of the galaxy hinge on this?

Of course, we know that the Jews believe that the fate of the galaxy hinges on ousting Vladimir Putin, and that is why the West provoked this conflict in the first place. But can you imagine normal people looking at this and saying “yes, you’re right – we should destroy the entire world so that Kiev Jews can force their will on this tiny and irrelevant area”?

But alas, no one is asking that, and Milley is very obviously the last “cooler head” in Washington, and his complaints have been dismissed.

We’re going to have WWIII.

That’s gonna suck for a lot of people. Of course, for me, it’s just going to be an excuse to do some things I’ve wanted to do for a long time…

We have to do this so Ukraine children can be trannies.

That’s our values of who we are in democracy rules-based order.

RT:

The likelihood of a military conflict “between great powers” is growing, the chair of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, has warned.

Speaking in front of cadets graduating from US Military Academy West Point on Saturday, Milley said that the “world you are being commissioned into has the potential for a significant international conflict between great powers.” The general added “that potential is increasing, not decreasing.”

Milley went on to single out China and Russia, describing both as having “significant military capabilities” and intending to “change the current rules-based order.”

He also noted that the ongoing fighting in Ukraine highlighted some of the main characteristics of future battlefields, which will be “highly complex and almost certainly decisive in urban areas against elusive, ambiguous enemies that combine terrorism and warfare alongside conventional capabilities – all embedded within large civilian populations.”

Get ready to die for the right of grown men to dive into a child’s anus.

It’s who we are.

I’ve got breaking news, folks.

New meme – certified fresh OC – hot off the presses:

Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-ZING!

And if that wasn’t hot enough, today only, as a one-time offer, we’ve got the alternative version – the original director’s cut:

Ultimately, my meme editor, famous Ghosts of Mars director John Carpenter, thought the meme was funnier with the last line cut. I begrudgingly agreed, but tried to get it labeled an Alan Smithee meme (lawyers couldn’t manage – should have called that guy who sued Alex Jones).

This is filler.

I was going to write something about homosexuality in the military, and the fact that the military is literally a homosexual cult. But I’m too burned out.

Just ask someone you know in the military about the rumors that all the top brass is gay, and that promotion is based exclusively on homosexual relations.

What I will say, with regards to memes, is that this should have been shoved in that China piece somewhere:

That meme is the epitome of the Kissinger dream.

It didn’t work out.

It really makes a lot of sense that it would be beneficial to the American people to fight a war against Russia in Afghanistan.

It will help you a lot with your personal problems if that happens.

NBC News:

Army Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Congress on Thursday that the Trump administration was “perhaps not” doing “as much as we could or should” to deter Russia and other foreign powers from providing weapons and support to America’s enemies in Afghanistan.

Questioned at a House Armed Services hearing about the long history of Russia’s support for the Taliban, Milley said Russia was among many U.S. adversaries that for years have been providing “training, money, weapons, propaganda … and a lot of other things” to the Taliban and the Haqqani network, an Afghan guerrilla group.

The military has responded on the ground, he said, but “the issue is higher than that.”

“The issue is at the strategic level,” he said. “What should or could we be doing at the strategic level?”

The key question, Milley said, was whether there are sanctions that should be imposed, diplomatic protests lodged, phone calls made or other pressure brought to bear.

“I can tell you that some of that is done. Are we doing as much as we could or should? Perhaps not. Not only to the Russians, but to others. But a lot of it is being done. Some of it’s quiet. Some of it’s not so quiet.”

Milley and Defense Secretary Mark Esper, who also testified, said the military was looking into the intelligence that the Russians had offered payments to the Taliban as an incentive to kill Americans, but both said that military intelligence agencies had cast doubt on the reports and that they had seen no indication that any American was killed because of a so-called bounty program.

However, they acknowledged that Russia had been supporting the Taliban for years, and Milley’s comment was a concession that the U.S. has not pushed back as hard as it could. It is unclear whether President Donald Trump has ever raised the issue in his many conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Seriously, folks: think about it.

You might think your life is bad now, what with the total collapse of the economy, the blacks rioting and preparing to slaughter you, losing your house, your marriage, your entire life – but imagine how you would feel if Russia had too much influence in Afghanistan.

This would be an absolute catastrophe for the American people.

That’s why we need to follow the advice of this big, fat, gay sonovabitch in the military and really use a lot of American resources to go get Russia in Afghanistan.

We might have to cut some of these assistance programs to help people during the coronavirus hoax in order to funnel the money into the war effort to protect Afghani democracy. But you’ll be happy we did. Oh boy, will you be happy we did.
