possibly,,,
Dunno, not exactly my pay grade to know these things, but if what the RUMINT is passing around is half right, then Russia is about to send Krainfeld back to pre-industrial age for a time. An airburst over the Black Sea would EMP that area. Might wanna look at all the Frenemies in a 600 klik radius of the Black Sea. Turkey is the only country with any real voice in that area, and I seem to recall that they are on good terms with Russia, if not allies, even if they are a NATO block country
And this whole NATO thing,,, WTF are we still doing pushing an organization that lost its goal in 1987? Seriously, this needed defunded LONG ago, and yet, here we are, playing stoopid games and about to win stoopid prizes.
If Russia pops canned sunshine at near vacuum above the Black Sea, that may be the call for everyone else to pop canned sunshine out on their recent grudge. Pakistan pops India, India returns the favor. etc etc
And the dominoes will fall, but not one peep has any clue how they will fall. I am sure there are bookies collecting mad speculative bets on it. And I can’t say as I blame them, but who gets to collect after it all falls down? And with WHAT currency??? Irradiated gold maybe?
I grew up under this crap. I don’t recall ever practicing the ‘under your desk’ safety program, (they did that so they would know who the deaders were,,, Not that it was going to save your ass or anything,,,). We did the tornado drills on a regular basis, and fire drills, but not the Nuke Attack thing. BUT, we had all the Doom and Gloom of “the day after” on prime time Teewee, and the books,,, Oh those so wonderful post apocalyptic porn books,,, I can tell you that many of my friends at that time learned MORE survival skills THEN because we wanted that ‘second chance’ if things did go sideways, and knowing how to eat when the JIT supply chains quit (without resorting to Solyent Green standards) ,,, I know many a allowance was swallowed up by my buying the latest survival book at the book store (and they always seemed to have them,,, Hmmm, I guess they knew their market, eh?) (And the D&D stuff, christ, the money I spent then,,,, )
I grew up under this crap and that we are here visiting it again, (or is it visiting US,,,). rather perturbs my sweet natured self.
economic collapse, Check, societal breakdowns, check,
Nuclear war? Not so check,,,
I live in an area well away from most targets, but that doesn’t mean I am away from the fallout of such. Actually, I live in an area that routinely goes through a cycle of pulling all the weather IN, and holding in for a spell. We get these bubbles that just seem to circle us holding things out, but holding things in as well, and usually they develop by pulling all the outlier weather in first, then creating this pressure zone that just keeps it here.
If we don’t get that, everything from Corpus Cristi to here just flows and flows and flows. When Texas gets drenched, we are usually getting it 24 hours later, and with just about as much enthusiasm. Thats a lot of area that can pick up radiated dust and then dump it here. (it does that because of the mountain ranges. That weather blows across plains then hits these mountains and just STOPS,,,, Good point though, we don’t get all the energy from coastal fun as much, just the Gulf stuff.)
And the whole stoopidity of ‘limited nuclear exchange’,,, I have to laugh,,, Because if i didn’t, I would curl up into a little ball and burrow as deep as I could get until the air stopped flowing to me. I laugh because we all understand that ‘limited’ is NOT on the table, but these pukes seem to think they and everyone of their fellow bomb holders have some restraint. The ONLY restraint they have is that which they have shown over the last 80 years by NOT blowing each other into atomic cinders. And it seems that restraint is worn to a frazzle,,,
God Help Us.
Only,
We have to help ourselves first.
And I don’t see how we can remove these asshats from power without resorting to that which we should have never let go to begin with. That thing that was surrendered before most of us were even born. Its growing again, but will it be enough, or will it be that ‘day late, dollar short’?
I’m not talking the guns either. we still have those, If you know of what I speak, I don’t need to clarify, and if’n you don’t,,,,
I worry that its been bred out of us, by sending those willing and able to fight out to die. Look at the ‘great wars’ and how the patriot did the deed, and many never made it back. And the ones that did, were decidedly against doing so again. The ones with the Beast inside are few and far between and many of us have shackled that Beast so we can get along in civilized society. If we were to unleash, the shock and horror would alienate us even faster than the propaganda arms of the Demoncraps. Believe me, 50 hardliners, unchained, would walk through DC like a bullet through a cotton T-shirt.
The trick is getting that many together and keeping the security tight enough before the launch.
Just like the security that RUMINT has about Putin wanting to EMP Krainfeld,,,, Someone either is making shit up, trying to scare the sheep, OR, someone needs their lips sewn shut. (or both, depending on your outlook.)
Things like this just don’t ‘happen’. There are a lot of moving parts that have to engage before the mechanism ‘trips’. Granted, we have a lot of those parts in motion now, but I don’t think we have hit that ‘point of no return’ yet. (that IMO is when the missiles are launched. May be able to self destruct a few in the case of ‘Oops’, but there are gonna be those that ‘make it home’ no matter what.).
Even if we make it through this, there are Bad Actors in power that will never be held to blame for even one minute of this farce. They will carry on their merry ways, and the world will remain oblivious to who they were or what role they had. And that bothers me far more than current poly-ticks/kabuki theater. We know the Schwabbies, and Soros, Gates, Davos crowds, but there are manymanymany more that we DON’T know of. And we likely never will.
It’s Wednesday, a miserable week for hours at the J.O.B.,, my attitude is feeling a little warped right now, and my reading isn’t helping any.
I hope y’all aren’t feeling as ‘askew’ as I am right now.
Build the fire up, its gonna get cold tonight. Y’all take care.
Meh ,in the end the dust wins with entropy until it’s done

Agreed, with big ol’ bells on it. Remember how the Deep State entire howled when Trump mentioned doing away with NATO, that the fall of the USSR rendered it obsolete? He sure pissed in their cornflakes but good with that one, it was a joy to behold.
