The 4 Stooges saga of Bundeswehr officers plotting to explode the Kerch bridge in Crimea with Taurus missiles and getting away with it’s a present that retains on giving.
President Putin, in his complete interview to Dmitry Kiselev for Russia 1/RIA Novosti, didn’t fail to deal with it:
“They’re fantasizing, encouraging themselves, to start with. Secondly, they’re making an attempt to intimidate us. As for the Federal Republic of Germany, there are constitutional issues there. They accurately say: if these Taurus hit that a part of the Crimean Bridge, which, in fact, even based on their ideas, is Russian territory, it is a violation of the structure of the Federal Republic of Germany.”
But it will get curioser and curioser.
When the transcript of the Taurus leak was revealed by RT, everybody was capable of hear Brigadier Basic Frank Gräfe – head of operations of the German Air Drive – talking with Lieutenant Colonel Fenske from the German House Command Air Operations on the plan to deploy Taurus programs in Ukraine.
A key level is that in the course of the plotting, these two point out that plans have been already mentioned “4 months in the past” with “Schneider”, the successor of “Wilsbach”.
Effectively, these are German names, in fact. Thus it didn’t daybreak on anybody that (Kevin) Schneider and (Kenneth) Wilsbach may as a substitute be… People.
But that did increase the eyebrows of German investigative journalist Dirk Pohlmann – who I had the pleasure to fulfill in Berlin years in the past – and his fellow researcher Tobias Augenbraun.
They discovered that the German-sounding names did establish People. Not solely that: none lower than the previous and the present Commanders of the U.S. Pacific Air Forces.
The 4 (really Six) Stooges factor will get an additional increase when it’s established that Liver Sausage Chancellor Scholz and his Totalenkrieg Minister Pistorius discovered in regards to the Taurus plan at least 4 months later.
So right here apparently now we have a transparent minimize case of prime German army officers taking direct orders concerning an assault on Crimea – a part of the Russian Federation – instantly from American officers within the Pacific Air Forces.
That in itself opens the file to a big spectrum starting from nationwide treason (in opposition to Germany) to casus belli (from the perspective of Russia).
After all none of that’s being mentioned on German mainstream media.
In any case, the one factor that appears to disturb Brigadier Basic Gräfe is that German media might begin severely prying on the Bundeswehr’s A number of Stooges strategies.
The one ones who really did correct investigation have been Pohlmann and Augenbaun.
It could be an excessive amount of to anticipate from German media of the “Bild” sort to investigate what could be the Russian response to the A number of Stooge shenanigans in opposition to Crimea: a devastating retaliation in opposition to Berlin property.
It’s so chilly in Alaska
In the course of the jolly Bundeswehr dialog one more “plan” is talked about:
“Nee, nee. Ich mein wegen der anderen Sache.” (“No, no. I imply the opposite matter.”) Then: “Ähm … meinst du Alaska jetzt?” (“Ahm, you imply Alaska now?”)
All of it gest juicier when it’s identified that German House Command Air Operations Centre officer Florstedt will meet none aside from Schneider subsequent Tuesday, March 19, in Alaska.
And Gräfe may also “have to return to Alaska” to clarify the whole lot over again to Schneider as he’s “new” within the submit.
So the query is: Why Alaska?
Enter American shadowplay on quite a lot of “actions” in Alaska – which occur to concern none aside from China.
And there’s extra: in the course of the dialog nonetheless one other “plan” (“Auftrag”, that means “mission”) additionally surfaces, bearing a not clearly comprehensible code title sounding like “Kumalatra”.
What all of that tells us is that the Crash Take a look at Dummy administration within the White Home, the CIA and the Pentagon appear to betting, in desperation, on Complete Conflict within the black soil of Novorossiya.
And now they’re sayin’ it out loud, with no shadow play, and coming instantly from the top of the CIA, William Burns, who clearly sucks at secrecy.
That is what Burns advised the members of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee earlier this week:
“I feel with out supplemental help in 2024, you’re going to see extra Avdeevkas, and that – it appears to me – could be an enormous and historic mistake for the US.”
That spells out how a lot the Avdeevka trauma is impressed on the psyche of the U.S. intel equipment.
But there’s extra: “With supplemental help, Ukraine can maintain its personal on the entrance strains by means of 2024 and into early 2025. Ukraine can proceed to actual prices in opposition to Russia, not solely with deep penetration strikes in Crimea, but additionally in opposition to Russia’s Black Sea Fleet.”
Right here we go: Crimea over again.
Burns really believes that the humongous $60 billion new “help” package deal which should be permitted by the U.S. Congress will allow Kiev to launch an “offensive” by the top of 2024.
The one factor he will get proper is that if there’s no new package deal, there will likely be “vital territorial losses for Ukraine this 12 months.”
Burns will not be the brightest bulb within the – intel – room. A very long time in the past he was a diplomat/CIA asset in Moscow, and appears to have discovered nothing.
Other than letting cats and kitties galore out of the bag. It’s not solely about attacking Crimea. This one is being learn with surpreme enjoyment of Beijing:
“The U.S. is offering help to Ukraine partially as a result of such actions assist curb China.”
Burns nailed his Cat Out of the Bag Oscar win when he stated “if we’re seen to be strolling away from help for Ukraine, not solely is that going to feed doubts amongst our allies and companions within the Indo-Pacific; it’s going to stoke the ambitions of the Chinese language management in contingencies starting from Taiwan to the South China Sea”.
The inestimable Andrei Martyanov completely summed up the astonishing incompetence, peppered with tawdry exceptionalism, that permeates this efficiency by Burns.
There are issues “they can’t grasp attributable to low degree of training and tradition. This can be a new paradigm for them – all of them are ‘graduates’ of the college of ‘beating the crap from defenseless nations’ strategic ‘research’, and with the extent of financial ‘science’ within the West they can’t grasp how this all unfolds.”
So what’s left is panic, as expressed by Burns within the Senate, blended with the impotence in understanding a “completely different warrior tradition” resembling Russia’s: “They merely haven’t any reference factors.”
And nonetheless they select battle, as masterfully analyzed by Rostislav Ishchenko.
Even because the acronym fest of the CIA and 17 different U.S. intel businesses have concluded, in a report proven to Congress earlier this week, that Russia is “virtually definitely” looking for to keep away from a direct army battle with NATO and can calibrate its insurance policies to avoid a worldwide battle.
After all of the Empire of Chaos is all about Ceaselessly Wars. And we’re all in the course of a do or die affair. The Empire merely can not afford the cosmic humiliation of NATO in Novorossiya.
Nonetheless each “plan” – Taurus on Crimea-style – is a bluff. Russia is conscious of bluff after bluff. The Western playing cards at the moment are all on the desk. The one query is when, and how briskly will Russia name the bluff.
