America’s War on Russia; Europe’s War on America.
By Gene W. Edwards.
It’s literally a wrong-headed war for us — U.S. — and totally counterproductive for all parties. Russia: dumb, cruel war. Europe: really only protecting NATO countries. The sanctions: Russia is awash with oil and gas for sale; the sanctions backfire on both the USA and Europe — and Russia couldn’t care less, takes advantage of our naivety. The world: nuclear accidents, nuclear war, tactical nuke war, and world war loom. Russia is in Europe (and Eurasia), so Russia is fighting part of itself, in fractious Europe, to annex a country as big as Texas. Reparations won’t work, and neither will rhetoric or negotiation. Putin wants NATO off his back, and he may want other European and Eurasian countries soon enough, when he’s finished pounding down Ukraine. This is comparable to us conquering Canada and then taking its resources — Canada almost freezing to death in the process.
The NATO countries’ combined military resources equal three times that of Russia. Europe could/should provide the drones, missiles, etc., sufficient for Europe’s Ukraine to defend itself. Instead, NATO provides little ammunition — not much but self-injurious, self-righteous sanctions and the pretention of war against Russia, leaving us to do the dirty work. Europe will freeze to death this winter.
The USA and Europe worry about appeasement. If Russia is not taught a lesson, a punishment, what will it take next? But it really all comes down to NATO, which is principally a political and economic alliance, not a military alliance — unless a NATO country is attack. Fat chance of that!
Western Europe milks the USA in our support of NATO, it pretending poverty — milks us like a pore ol’ nanny goat. They think we are their billfold. We pay far more than our share. Why are we involved in, and sponsoring, a European military organization? It’s a dangerous encumbrance, something our founders warned us about. Let dangerous Europe police itself, and let’s stay out of their addle-headed political and military intrigues.
Yes, Europe will protect NATO countries, but NATO wants no country into its alliance that is politically unsettled and does not have firm, defensible boundaries. Instead, Europe will let America prosecute a proxy war for Europe of America vs. Russia, with Europe cheering us on, let us do the heavy lifting and front the sanctions and recriminations about evil Russia, never a word in the conventional media about exploitive Europe encircling Russia and politically and economically absorbing Ukraine into Europe despite Kiev being the home of Mother Russia.

Now here comes the prediction from me. Europe freezing this winter from a sanction shortage of oil and natural gas. Something nuclear happens this fall/winter. Chernobyl is poorly capped and still contains volatile reactors. One of Ukraine’s several other nuclear plants and reactors may be compromised, attacked, or poorly taken over sufficient that it melts down or blows up. Russia will use every tool in its belt if resistance to it becomes too heavy.
Russia would “like” to finish taking Ukraine by the one-year anniversary of the war, which is next February 24.

But here are, instead, the exact words I get intuitively, contradicting some of the above: “A new beginning for Ukraine. Still free. War behind. Avoids being taken over altogether. Cancer deaths from radiation. Europe up in ‘arms,’ International pressure: stop war. Long winter, friendly(ier) summer. Zelenskyy avoids capture. A new beginning, but from harsh conditions. Cancer befalls Vladimir Putin, incapacitates him. By winter. Blood disease. God is in His heaven. Fate saves Ukraine. Uranium blowup. Reactor causes cancer. Landscape compromised. Heavy death toll. Vladimir Putin learns a hard lesson. Death coming to him. Crimea held by Russia. Part of Donbas as well — but Kiev and western Ukraine freed. Fear gives way to hope. Putin’s death brings changes in Russia. Consciousness altered by world outside Russia. Cancer is a respecter of no man. Bad/evil recompensed. To the surprise of the world! End of fear coming. Russia politically rebuilds. Becomes more tolerant, less greedy. Joins the modern world. Becomes freer. Condemns Ukrainian war. Moves on. ‘A lesson in hope!’”
Love (freedom wins, fear loses),

P.S. Looks like it’ll be 221 Republicans in the House, 214 Democrats — plus or minus one, each side. I predicted 223 to 212. I also predicted the Democrats would win 52 seats in the House. They have 50 now and I predict Raphael Warnock will win the runoff on December 6 to make it 51. Those predictions were made be, and time stamped, early on General Election day. I may be the closest in America in calling the election — which was far from the generally predicted “red wave.” It was more of a warning to both parties that business and usual is unacceptable during challenging times.
In my CO, Republican U.S. House member Lauren Boebert, he incumbent, is in an amazingly tight race vs. Adam Frisch in Colorado District 3 that covers about half the state, mostly rural. I predict a runoff with Adam Frisch winning. Nine House races remain to be called. The present count is 217 Republicans and 209 Democrats, 9 tossups. If Frisch wins in CO, it might end up as 222 Republicans, 213 Dems. Either way, the Republicans will control our House of Representatives, 218 and above does that.
Similar to a friend of mine, I believe it’s not healthy for America when one party or the other controls the legislative, judiciary, and executive branch all at one time. A ratio of 2:1or 1;2 is better. Checks and balances. We need the Republicans to countermand the Democrats, and we need the Democrats to second-guess the Republicans. Let’s call it all 1’s and 0’s. We live in a bifurcated universe.
