It's hilarious how many normies I know still think Ukraine is 'winning'
Signs of Escalation Into A World War
- Thread starter Ember
- Start date
France authorizes the Ukrainians to strike Russia with French SCALP missiles. Looks like this has been gamed out. It is Macron's turn to take one for the team. He's been talking big lately.
There's a lot of ambiguity in the article. Washington has to approve such use, as SCALP needs US technology to work (like Storm Shadow). Now, it looks like France is asking Washington to authorize use of US technology for such attacks. I'm assuming Bidenites will approve.
Ball is in Ukraine's court. It is football season in the US, probably nobody will know about the provocation, only the Russian response if it hits France.

SCALP is the original French version of Storm Shadow. Both are poor, and need to be launched by the dozen for one to get through Russian air defense. Russia will deal with them, give measured retaliations, and wait for Trump to get inaugurated, IMO. I do not expect them to do anything so drastic as to give the Western media the excuse to call for WW3.
I was just having this conversation last night with a very well informed and intelligent CPA. We were just talking about the election and then how awful the media on TV is, no matter which direction (right v. left) you watch. And I told him that what frustrated me the most is that no matter which you watch, left or right, no one is telling us the truth about foreign policy. That no matter who wins the election, we get the same pro-war foreign policy and we are lied to about it.
He was sort of taken aback, and said "what do you mean?". And I told him that the only reason I knew the following information was due to getting on the internet. How badly Ukraine was losing, how much more advanced Russia's military has proven to be v. NATO, how much more advanced than that, that China is, and how Iran is still laying low and just waiting for the right opportunity to hit us with a real knockout blow. He was pretty shocked by this information, and then I related it back to how Putin was crushing our economy and how 4 of the 5 top largest economies in the world are now in BRICS and their goal is to destroy the USD, thus the US economy.
I could see the wheels moving and he responded with "oh damn". He wasn't aware of any of this, but it all sounded so much more realistic than what he heard, he had to stop and think things over. He didn't return to the conversation later on, I could tell it shook him and he didn't want to think about it.
Yes, the lack of information regarding the strength of BRICS is astonishing, and people here need to be made aware of it. We can no longer bully other countries with our military, because our military is a joke, as much as our country is, and we can no longer preform low-IQ Reaganism of "strength through power" because we traded power for diversity and open borders.
I'm certainly no defender of most of American foreign policy, but I don't think this is accurate. Our technology is still superior to everyone's. Easily the biggest mistake that BRICS isn't doing right now, if it's not (I don't know) is stockpiling BTC. Military might by man is obsolete, it's all tech right now. Yes, Russian can hit us or anyone else at any time. If they don't get BTC and compete with the US, or the US doesn't do the strategic BTC reserve, either is in big trouble. Read Softwar.
