In case you did not realize, consider the unintended consequences to US-Russia treaties that may have been shattered because Ukraine, in a demonstrably clever sneak attack, destroyed 42 Russian strategic bombers as they sat exposed on their airfield pads. “Exposed” is the clue word. Since Reagan’s day they sat out in the open unprotected, as do ours per the Start Treaty, because mutually agreed treaties allowed our satellites, and there, to keep a visual count on just where those bombers were located. That’s all over now. The Ukrainian’s just saw to that!
The Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) was signed on July 31, 1991 by President George H.W. Bush and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. The treaty limited the number of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) and nuclear warheads either country could possess. When fully implemented, the treaty resulted in the removal of about 80 percent of all strategic nuclear weapons then in existence. Proposed by President Reagan, it was renamed START I after negotiations began on the second START treaty.
Treaty Structure: The Treaty between the United States of America and the Russian Federation on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, also known as the New START Treaty, enhances U.S. national security by placing verifiable limits on all Russian deployed intercontinental-range nuclear weapons. The United States and the Russian Federation have agreed to extend the treaty through February 4, 2026.
Strategic Offensive Limits: The New START Treaty entered into force on February 5, 2011. Under the treaty, the United States and the Russian Federation had seven years to meet the treaty’s central limits on strategic offensive arms (by February 5, 2018) and are then obligated to maintain those limits for as long as the treaty remains in force.
Too, those Cold War era treaties were made before China’s nuclear delivery ability was realized. China was not signatory to any such treaties. Reagan’s threat of installing a missile defense shield against Soviet ICBM’s had the intended consequences of revealing to the Soviets their inability to sustain parody with the US and, they collapsed as a nation, and a threat.
Russia under Putin, is still there and felt the sting of a totally new, relatively inexpensive delivery system, swarms of armed drones that destroyed a third of Putin’s strategic bomber force in a single blow by an adversary located thousands of miles/kilometers away. Why chance using a bomber that can be seen coming and shot out of the sky when a stealth envelopment by commercial trucks in the normal course of business, will do better?
China saw what happened to Putin’s air force. China doesn’t have a big bomber force and now, they won’t need one. They have bought property near treaty compliant US Air Force bases with exposed US Bombers sitting right there ready for their own destruction. Chinese drones launched from the camouflage facilities of their nearby agricultural food processing plants can reach those nearby bases in mere seconds as the Ukrainians so effectively demonstrated.
There are a couple problems here. Those earlier mutual defense treaties, while no longer effective, were still in force and if it could prove that the CIA or DoD directly provided targeting data to the Ukrainians violate the Cold War treaties or not? Another potential problem, immediately obvious to even the most casual observer, is the protection of our US bombers in foreign lands, like the UK but more specifically, places like Diego Garcia, a remote British owned, militarily important island in the center of the Indian Ocean. Already, I can imagine crafty Chinese strategists considering stealthy approaching Diego Garcia by submarines filled with attack drones to eliminate that threat. Russia could not be alone in feeling the sting of this new technology. We were using it ourselves but just how extensively since Biden’s destructive policies to our military?
Putin’s military machine is being tested to its limits. There has been a vast destruction of tanks, armored vehicles, artillery and rocket launchers and has rendered his response abilities limited though they have won the ground war. Like China, Putin has no Generals even remotely capable of conducting a Patton like response to the Ukraine attack without suffering the loss of even more men and equipment.
But Putin does not think in Western terms. He is a cold and calculating leader. He knows Ukraine’s attack on his far flung but exposed bomber force was aided by America CIA and NATO operatives. Maybe his option is to launch an ICBM somewhere, attack Kyiv and take out Zelensky and company. Putin knows he no longer possesses a dominate army or surface navy (at least appears that way). His submarine force is questionable and, while America is too far away to attack directly except for ICBM’s where we are still vulnerable to attack. I sense, something awful is coming!
We are now at a cross point in American history. A major event is occurring, a counter revolution to the one Obama introduced and Joe Biden built upon. The evil forces of fascism, not in the driver’s seat at present, are attempting to stop it from succeeding. I hope you don’t find this discussion too discomforting but serious threats to America are coming at us from within, first by the hordes of Jihadists barbarians allowed entry on student Visa’ and, not being disabused by University administrations of perpetrating the anti-semitic hatred they brought with them. Non-Islamic Indoctrinated students are also waiting to destroy the evil America. Too, the savage peon class like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua criminal gangs invited in by Biden’s Leftists government to alter the demographics of interior America have left an indelible criminal mark of rape, murder and mayhem in their wake.
In the meantime, our Constitutional Republic and the rule of law, is being attacked by unelected federal judges who have anointed themselves arbiters of the federal administrative state of Donald Trump. The extensive crime in America has risen exponentially with the flood of criminals invited here by Joe Biden and turned loose on our streets. We can expect no help from the legacy media as they have clearly staked their position as anti-American by supporting every nincompoop unamerican idea that comes from the Left. They have been as destructive to America as the Islamic, Antifa and idiot fighters on our streets have been.
Pettifogs like SC Senator Lindsay Graham, long the chief neocon occupant of the warmonger seat of the Republican Party, together with Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal, invited themselves, ostensibly as US representatives without portfolio, to visit the Ukraine. To do what? Promise Ukraine continued weapons and more money, a la Joe Biden? They should be censured and removed from office.
The election of Donald Trump was a clear mandate to Make America Great Again, a thankless task indeed! But already, the Democrat Left responds by filling our streets, not just with social protesters burning and looting, but with trained, masked and uniformed Antifa fighters, and illegal invaders physically attacking our federal, local and state police as they strive to enforce the laws abandoned by the Democrats.
Anarchy has returned to our streets to counter ICE, but this time, Trump has added National Guard forces to the support federal law enforcement to facilitate apprehensions. When the participants are apprehended, they will not simply be released back onto the streets with a warning, they will be facing trials, convictions and jail time.
Western empathy is misplaced value when it comes to feeling sorry for terrorists who claim some authority from God (Allah) to do what they do. Such authority is nonexistent in western jurisprudence. We are infidels and they’re coming for us. Their violence lies beyond the American system of justice to satisfy or resolve. So, arm yourselves, get your permits, get some training and a plan to take them with you. Always be prepared to defend yourselves. They will not wait. They have no moral code. Neither do our Democrats!
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way!
