According to @JoeBiden WW3 starts with the shipment of “offensive
equipment” like “tanks”to Ukraine. Welcome to WW3!
“We are fighting a war against Russia.” It’s official. The EU and
Germany are at war with Russia according to @ABaerbock, Foreign
Minister of Germany.
Do not underestimate the seriousness of the situation. Russia will
shortly begin a major offensive with 500k fresh troops to demilitarize
Ukraine while @ZelenskyyUa rips untrained middle aged men from their
family homes and sends them to die. If NATO troops get involved it’s
WW3.
NATO won’t just walk away because of the historic embarrassment for
the West when Russia defeats Ukraine despite over $150 billion in
western aid and arms. A Russian victory is unacceptable for the
bankrupt US Government. It means the end of American domination and
prosperity.
The world is closer to nuclear war than ever before. But where are the
protests? Where is the outrage of the masses? A failing US empire led
by a senile fool is dragging all of humanity into the fire. Get up,
protest and demand peace, wherever you are. Unite against World War 3.

"Security Assistance Group-Ukraine" or "SAG-U," the new joint US
command -- slated to be up and running by "early 2023" -- recalls an
earlier example of a joint US command: "Military Assistance
Command-Vietnam" or "MACV," established in 1961 and led by a
three-star general.
Kennedy established the command in December of 1961. In November, he
had received the "Taylor report" recommending a new phase of US
military involvement in the war, namely an infusion of US personnel
nominally for the purpose of handling "logistics" and organizing
"flood relief"
Kennedy commissioned the report in October 1961 as Ngo Dinh Diem,
president of South Vietnam, was escalating his requests for US
"support." He lobbied for fighter jets (as Ukraine is doing right now)
as well as "trainers" who'd be falsely presented as serving a
"non-combat" role
In the Pentagon Papers it is speculated that shortly thereafter,
Kennedy personally leaked false info to the New York Times that the
General leading his inquiry was "reluctant" to send combat troops
Vietnam. "Simply untrue," it concludes. (JFK was a prolific leaker to
the NYT)
Today we receive earnest assurances in the New York Times that Biden
was "reluctant" to send the Abrams battle tanks, but did it anyway.
More palatable to be seen as "reluctant" than "eager," I guess, even
if it makes no substantive difference whatsoever.
Paul Harkins, the general who ran "Military Assistance Command,
Vietnam," later acknowledged in a 1981 interview that the command's
mission went well beyond "training" and "assistance," despite the
false assurances that had repeatedly been given to the public at the
time

Napoleon Reluctantly Invades Russia
Bush Reluctantly Invades Iraq
Alexander the Great Reluctantly Invades Persia
