The West must keep arming Ukraine because Moscow defeated Napoleon and Hitler, the EU's top diplomat said.

EU foreign policy commissioner Josep Borrell said on Friday that the West must keep sending weapons to Kiev, warning those who think Russia has lost or is doing poorly that Moscow has a history of winning long wars.

In a speech in Madrid, referencing the 1812 invasion by Napoleon Bonaparte's French empire and the 1941 invasion by Adolf Hitler's Germany as historical examples, Borrell said:
"Russia is a great country, a great nation that is used to fighting to the end, almost losing and then recovering. It would be absurd to think that Russia has lost the war or that its military is incompetent. So far Moscow has been losing the war but it still has enormous strength and capacity to continue [fighting]."
He then said:
"now is the time to continue arming Ukraine with the necessary material and military means to wage the kind of war it has to wage. This is not only a defensive war but one that allows it to take the initiative and break fronts and prevent Russia from launching a new, very powerful and bloody offensive in a few months."

Comment: Borrell justifies the truth he wants to believe.

White House chief of staff Ron Klain is expected to resign in the next few weeks, according to a report.

Klain, 61, has been telling colleagues privately that he is on his way out since the midterm elections in November, according to a report in the New York Times on Saturday. Klain has been President Biden's chief of staff for the past two years.

It's not yet clear if a successor has been chosen or when Klain plans to make the formal announcement of his imminent departure, although more information is expected after next month's State of the Union address, the newspaper reported.

The loss of Klain marks a high-profile exit for Biden, although his tenure has not been without controversy.

Comment: Klain is a dug-in Deep Stater. He'll still exercise influence from the shadows.

Ukraine conflict is 'global' - IMF boss

The ongoing hostilities between Moscow and Kiev are a truly global conflict that is sending ripples around the world, the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva, said on Friday. Earlier, Russian officials repeatedly insisted that numerous NATO nations were involved in the Ukraine conflict to a great extent.

"It is a global war because what it did [is] it wiped out the peace dividends we have enjoyed for 30 years," the IMF chief told a World Economic Forum's panel in the Swiss ski resort of Davos.


Comment: Peace dividends? The West has been waging overt and covert wars across the planet since the end of WWII.


Investments that could have gone into economic development are now being spent on defense and weapons, Georgieva added.

"The result [is] more poor people, more hunger," the IMF head warned. "It is a war against prosperity around the world."

Disagreements in Berlin mean no German tanks for Ukraine, yet - Russia states they won't change conflict's outcome, 'they burn like the rest'

Key NATO nations failed to reach an agreement on Friday about delivering Leopard 2 battle tanks to Ukraine, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has said. The issue was discussed at a meeting of Western military donors to Kiev at the US Ramstein air base in Germany.

There was "no unanimous opinion" on sending the German-made tanks to Kiev, Pistorius told journalists, adding that "all the pros and cons must be weighed carefully." It is still unclear if such a decision would be made in the near future, he stated.

The impression that Germany was "standing in the way" of a "solid coalition" willing to send tanks to Ukraine is "wrong," Pistorius noted. According to the minister, many NATO members share Berlin's opinion that "there are good reasons for the delivery and good reasons against [it]."

Comment: Zelensky's former advisor, Oleksiy Arestovich - who recently jumped ship - admits, now that he's an 'unofficial person', that Ukraine has no chance of winning NATO's war:

German intelligence 'alarmed' over Ukrainian losses - media

Germany's Federal Intelligence Agency (BND) is "alarmed" over heavy losses suffered by Ukrainian troops in the conflict between Kiev and Moscow, the Der Spiegel weekly reported on Friday.

Russian and Ukrainian troops are currently vying for control of the strategic Donbass city of Artyomovsk (called Bakhmut by Ukraine), but the situation there does not look particularly bright for Kiev, the outlet reported, citing a "secret" meeting between BND officials and the German MPs responsible for security decisions.

"The Ukrainian army is currently losing a three-digit number of soldiers every day" in the fight with Russian forces, Der Spiegel said, citing data reportedly presented by intelligence officials during the closed briefing earlier this week.

Earlier this week, The Times reported that Kiev had sent poorly equipped troops with little combat experience to defend Artyomovsk.

If Russian forces manage to seize the city, it would have "serious consequences" for Kiev, the BND warned, adding that control over Artyomovsk would potentially facilitate major Russian advances deeper into Ukrainian-held territory.

Comment: The only reason it's "alarming" is that the BND is forced to admit that it is true. They would be perfectly happy for Ukraine to sustain such losses as long as they could continue to give the impression that they are somehow "winning" the war, and not merely sending men and Western weapons into the meat grinder.

Special Report: Medical profession implements WHO digital diagnosis code for the unvaxxed

Leo Homann

ICD-10
Doctors will be 'incentivized' by the government to start asking more questions about your vax status

A set of international codes are used by the medical industry for billing purposes under Medicare-Medicaid and the private insurance companies, but it's not just about billing.

These codes are part of the International Classification of Disease (ICD) system set forth by the United Nations World Health Organization and they're about to get far more invasive.

This system was originally created after World War II for the purpose of tracking the diagnosis of major diseases within a population. But over the years, there have been 11 major revisions, and with each revision the data being collected on each individual has become more precise and all-inclusive.

More than 1.6 million clinical situations can now be coded, according to the WHO website.

And it's also become more coercive, to the point where it's become impossible for doctors to get reimbursed by insurance companies if they don't upload all the requested data points.

Comment: Davos supports increasing compliance via digital tracking:
It was Klaus Schwab that called covid a "rare but narrow window of opportunity" to implement the "Great Reset" of the current economic and political order. The past few years have shown that the Davos crowd still clings to the fading pandemic panic as the "good old days" when they could have had anything they wanted, including total centralization.

Their hopes and dreams now turn to a future pandemic, perhaps one with a far higher death rate that creates more exploitable public fear.


The group concludes that global institutions in the future need to put constant pressure on governments and, ostensibly, constant pressure on national populations in order to get the results they desire.

A very interesting comment is made by Tony Blair, who calls for national digital infrastructure for tracking vaccinations. Blair suggests that to keep various national governments on board with the agenda, they would have to be convinced pandemic issues are "continuing issues."

Albert Bourla addresses the possibility and challenges of producing vaccines in an even faster time frame to respond to new viral events. His conclusion? That regulators need to continue to keep doors open for Big Pharma in terms of expediency even when there is not a pandemic in play.

The reasons for public resistance are not important to them, only the ways in which they can gain greater compliance during the next viral event.
Welcome to the global petri dish. Full compliance is mandatory - resistance is futile.

"People underestimate how much resistance to imperial edicts out of DC there is, they underestimate how many people are waiting for the fall, but they also misunderstand that this resistance is taking a muscular but passive form." — Deep South SR on Twitter
Of course, the "Joe Biden" classified document scandal is less about the documents per se than it is about the Biden family business, which was accepting large sums of money from shady foreign interests for unspecified services rendered. "Joe Biden," the brand, is owned, perhaps to the degree that he can be called "a sell-out." Selling out your country is kind of serious.

For instance, our country is right now deeply involved in a war between a Biden family client, Ukraine, and its angry relative, Russia. The USA has pumped more than $100-billion into Ukraine just this past year. That's quite a return-on-investment for the million or so Hunter Biden grifted out of the Burisma gas company. It is alleged that Ukraine has operated as a gigantic international money laundry, especially since our State Department and Intel Community overthrew Ukraine's government in 2014 and put in a series of errand boys.

President Erdogan's spokesman reacted strongly to John Bolton's op-ed on the upcoming Turkish vote...

Turkish presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin has denounced former US national security adviser John Bolton as a would-be "colonial governor" whose attempts to interfere in Turkish democracy are doomed to fail. Bolton had proposed threatening Turkey with expulsion from NATO in a piece published by the Wall Street Journal.

Kalin tweeted:
"Bolton, who previously admitted that he supported coups, called on NATO to intervene in the elections in Türkiye. It is a futile effort to try to take the democratic will of the Turkish nation under tutelage. Gone are the days when you played colonial governor."
The Turkish-language tweet also linked to Bolton's op-ed in the WSJ, published on Tuesday, in which the hawkish Republican advised NATO to "put Ankara's membership on the chopping block" as a way to influence the Turkish elections.

Comment: Neocon warmonger John Bolton: One of the most despicable and sour creeps to ever invade politics.

German general tells US generals to lose the Ukraine war as soon as possible to prevent losing the empire in Europe

Wolf's Lair plot
The German generals are trying it again. That's the Wolf's Lair plot of July 20, 1944.

To save themselves, they are begging their counterparts in Washington, DC, to find a way to lose the war in the Ukraine as quickly as possible without losing the US empire in Germany. This means overruling or replacing, not only Vladimir Zelensky's regime in Kiev but also the Green Party ministers in power in Berlin, Robert Habeck and Annalena Baerbock, and maybe Chancellor Olaf Scholz to boot.

The Wehrmacht plotter this time is a retired brigadier general named Erich Vad (lead image, right). As German military officers go, he's unusual. He was trained by a German-born Israeli infantry general turned academic. Vad then reached general's rank, according to a senior German politician, but "never led a battalion, never led a brigade, and was never deployed in active operations"; he is a "desk general".
