Cue The New International Brigade

The American media blitz is certainly an interesting animal over the current war in Ukraine. Almost in unison, we have the mockingbirds each rushing to create a rigid dichotomy full of flowery imagery signed, sealed and delivered, tailor made to appeal to American culture. Whatever the hell that is.

We love an underdog. Am I right?

Poor Zelinsky, poor Ukraine, hapless boobs under the threat of the Russian war machine. Its a story tailor made for Hollywood, and may very well have been. Certain elements of the story just don’t seem to add up, and while the grainy cell phone videos of the aftermath of a Javelin ambush (at the low low price of $150k a shot, paid for by you, America – while Burisma lines its pocket) glorify the scrappy rebels staring down an armored onslaught, little is being shown of the other side. Just like Star Wars, with plot armor provided by the media. And surely, this is not one sided. It is foolish to entertain the notion that the Russian bear is any less capable than it actually is, and downright stupid to assume they are not moving without a larger plan. Keep in mind all of this is a result of US meddling, even down to the threats of Ukraine seeking nuclear weapons. Who would provide them?

Russia is a big problem, China is a far bigger problem, and the biggest problem is that Belt and Road is quickly maneuvering to replace the dollar as the reserve currency. Force is not how you deal with them, especially given the US’ weakness in the past year. A bumbling dementia patient is fooling no one. This invasion is not the first battle of Grozny, nor the second, but it may become the battle of Vicksburg from which Zhukov formulated Soviet and thus Russian combined arms maneuver. That said, the lone evidence we’re being provided with simply points to restraint and an attempt at minimal impact on the civilian populace. Cell phone service and power remain on for the bulk of the country, even in contested areas. None of this makes sense if you’re invading an area; rather, this appears to be more of a maneuver to bolster the populace who voted for the last guy in charge of Ukraine, you know, before the US-run Euromaidan color revolution.

Compare that to Shock n’ Awe in 2003 where the US spent the next 11 years footing a bill for a war we provoked. Great return on investment.

Its a Hollywood production and nothing about the story is lining up. But further, and even more dangerous, is the invitation of foreign volunteers into Ukraine at the behest of its President. From a story run on Buzzfeed –

A group of 10 special operations forces veterans are staging in Poland and preparing to cross into Ukraine, where they plan to take up President Volodymyr Zelensky on his offer to “join the defense of Ukraine, Europe, and the world,” according to a US Army veteran arranging their passage.

The group, composed of six US citizens, three Brits, and a German, are NATO-trained and experienced in close combat and counterterrorism. They want to be among the first to officially join the new International Legion of the Territorial Defense of Ukraine that Zelensky announced Sunday, according to text messages reviewed by BuzzFeed News. Two former American infantry officers are also making plans to come to Ukraine to provide “leadership” for the group, the Army veteran recruiter said.

How heroic. Going to fight for free…for the nobility of cause. Or are they?

I’ll remind the readers a brief bit of history. In the vacuum created by America’s efforts in regime change….er…spreading democracy around the middle east, other elements took advantage outside the reach of governmental intervention, setting up terror training camps. The modern day AntiFa sprang forth from the Academy in the Rojava region, a guerrilla training camp built on Che Guevara’s model, cheerleaded by the far Left in America and propagandized on Vice’s Fighting ISIS series. Those fighters came back home and brought their knowledge with them. To them, it was the Spanish Civil War all over again, galvanizing a foundation for an armed and trained radical Leftist movement of domestic terrorists still very much in operation today. Nothing has changed, but you can bet your bottom dollar they’re getting ready for AntiFa 2.0.

These ‘SOF Vets’ running to the sound of gunfire are the new cadre for the next phase in a larger Leftist global insurgency. The longer this fight slogs on, the longer they can take advantage of the time. And if they blow up a tank or two, all the better, am I right? Far cheaper than putting them in a Uniform. Don’t worry, the Top People at the FBI will be keeping tabs on them. Top People.

Oh and we just gave them Javelins, SMAW-Ds and AT-4s. Nice.

The usual idiot outlets, Reddit and Twitter, are chock full of newly-minted tough guys pumped full of communist nonsense from the entertainment industry encouraging them to run off to the fight. Best of luck with that. The commissars know, as they always have, that you’re walking into a butcher’s shop just as Stalin and Bayo knew in the 1930s, pushing the Anarchist Internationals to the front reserving their own. Orwell found out the hard way. Useful idiots, every one. Go fight for Burisma and please, do not come back. But those that survive, to bring their training home, are more than willing to export that love of the hunt onto others. As another vet of that era, Hemingway, would succinctly point out, once you’ve hunted armed men you just don’t care for much else.

No matter how this pans out, nuclear war or no, the severe social consequences of lionizing Leftists in a fight the west provoked will absolutely bring about the next phase in a looming bloody civil war here at home. And that’s the one you should prepare for, because they are.
