Saith The Putin: This Far, No More !

Pepe Escobar, the well known, globe trotting, geopolitical-economic-military commentator, posted the following quote to his Twitter account yesterday, under the rubric, Putin Unplugged:

"We were forced to try to end the war that the West started in 2014 by force of arms. And Russia will end this war by force of arms, freeing the entire territory of the former Ukraine from the United States and Ukrainian Nazis. There are no other options.

"The Ukrainian army of the US and NATO will be defeated, no matter what new types of weapons it receives from the West. The more weapons there are, the fewer Ukrainians and what used to be Ukraine will remain.

"Direct intervention by NATO's European armies will not change the outcome. But in this case, the fire of war will engulf the whole of Europe. It looks like the US is ready for that too."

I don't know from where Pepe Escobar sourced this quotation -- probably from comments by Vladimir Putin at The 26th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), now taking place in St. Petersburg, Russia -- but I don't doubt that it is accurate. 

Notice Putin's main points:

** The war in the Ukraine will be won militarily.

** The entire territory of the former(!) Ukraine will be freed from the U$$A, Inc. and the Ukrainian NAZIs.

** No matter what weapons are introduced into the conflict, the Ukrainian/NATO/Pentagon forces will be defeated.

** Direct military conflict by NATO in the Ukraine will result in the war spreading to the whole of Europe.

** .... and to the Lower 48 States/U$$A, Inc.

There is no nuanced, mealy-mouthed, diplomatic double-speak in Putin's remarks. They could not be clearer.

His is stating unambiguously that the Russian Federation is going to conquer all of the "former Ukraine." In other words, the war is nowhere near ending; on the contrary, it is only in the first stages. The Russian Army will roll on through the entirety of the "former Ukraine."

Furthermore, if NATO forces dare to cross the border into Ukraine and interfere, Russia will project military power to the rest of Europe, setting it on fire, and even the U$$A, Inc.

When Putin says: "The Ukrainian army of the US and NATO will be defeated, no matter what new types of weapons it receives from the West," he means any and all weapons -- F-16 fighter bombers, nuclear bombs, missiles, anything. He is declaring that the conflict in the Ukraine is an all or nothing battle for the Russian Federation, that "the fire of war" will come to the rest of Europe and the U$$A, Inc., if they do not back off and stand down.

And he's not talking about dropping a few 500 lb. bombs. Not at all. His meaning is clear. The fire would/will? be of the nuclear character. 

Dmitry Medvedev Even More Unplugged

Pepe Escobar also offers these quotes from Deputy Security Council Chairman, Dmitry Medvedev:

"Taking into account the enemy’s decisions to supply the Kiev regime with weapons with an even longer range, this line ['buffer zone', as referred to by Putin] should pass in the area of Lviv… so that it could play a real defensive role.

"Based on the proof of western countries’ complicity in blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines, we have none, not even moral limitations left to refrain from destroying our enemies’ undersea communications cables."

Notice that Medvedev refers to the "western countries" as "our enemies." For many years the Kremlin referred to the U$$A, Inc. and the nations of the European Union as "our partners." But no more. That diplomatic verbiage has been summarily defenestrated. 

It's war now. Medvedev's remarks mention establishing a military buffer zone all the way to Lviv, in the far western Ukraine, not far from Poland. And he also explicitly refers to destroying undersea communications cables.

June, July, Guns of August?

I've been telling my readers and other people that the war in the Ukraine could and would intensify, and even widen beyond the Ukraine. But why take my word for it? Read and ponder the words of Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev above.

What is coming down the turnpike towards us is very sobering. Very large events are in motion. This military confrontation is likely to become even uglier than it already is -- and when the last rockets stop glaring (apologies to Francis Scott Key), don't be surprised if there is a lot of U$$A Navy scrap iron littering the bottom of the world's oceans, and more than a few, radioactive, smoking craters where U$$A cities and military bases used to be, in places like the Norfolk Navy Yard-VA, Kings Bay-GA, Washington-DC, Manhattan Island-NYC, Site "R"-MD/PA, Camp David-MD, NSA Laurel-MD, Offutt AFB-NE, Kirtland AFB-NM, Mayport-FL, San Antonio-TX, New Orleans-LA, Chicago-IL, Los Alamos-NM, San Diego-CA, Seattle-WA, Camp Peary-VA, Yorktown Naval Annex-VA, Twentynine Palms-CA, Camp Pendleton-CA, Edwards AFB-CA, Malmstrom AFB-MT, Minot AFB-ND, NSA Bluffdale-UT, Groton-CT, and many more.

None of this has to happen, and maybe it won't; but if the U$$A/Pentagon/NATO/EU do not militarily back off and stand down against Russia, then the probability of mushroom clouds, on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, will continue growing by the week.
