JAPAN RE ARMEMENT

 

Few people have noticed, but Japan's armed forces have become as strong as they were during WWII, This is a hard fact since 2018, this game changer has occurred over several years and in a quiet manner

When the second World War was over, Japan was prohibited for having military weapons,

(airplanes carriers, long range bombers, missiles) which would allow for any further attacks.

Today, Japan's military Navy has 20 attack submarines, and 39 ballistic subs (8 of which being equipped with the Aegis combat system). It also deploys 3 Helicopters carriers. Further the Japanese government has decided to equip itself with an aircraft carrier. The Japanese aircraft carrier is planned to play a defensive role, such as the elimination of an immediate threat. Critics note that once it is deployed, no one will be able to stop it from being used in an offensive role.

Japan's negociations with the USA shows that they wish to replace 107 of their older planes, (F4 and F15) with the new generation F35A. They also wish to procure themselves with 40 F35B, which is the naval version of the plane, capable of vertical take off and landing...

The Japanese Navy has recently added two Destroyer/Helicopter carriers of the Izumo Class to their fleet.

Each ship weighs 27thousand tons and has a length of 248 meters (roughly 275yds).  They are equipped with anti-sub and anti-ship systems, and have the capacity to carry 400 Naval infantry and their equipment. These ships can easily be adapted to the operation of 18 F35B each, instead of Helicopters, giving them capabilities similar to the US's Wasp or America class landing crafts.

All what was necessary for Japan to arm itself with the capacity of an expeditionary force, was to  expand their own Navy. This became a reality in April 2018 with the establishment of the Military Brigade  ARDB, based in Sasebo, near Nagasaki.

Japan has now an antidote to hostile landings and foreign aircraft carrier groups. Yet, as China, North Korea and Russia are all Nuclear capable. Japan has concluded that their interlink with the US ballistic defense, and American reassurances are not sufficient, to alleviate the threat of missiles attacks against its own territory, specially potential Nuclear attacks.

Japan's decision to strengthen their own defense is natural and not surprising. Japanese are using their very advanced technology to fill the existing gap. The special relationship between Donald Trump and the late prime minister Abe were a corner stone of this evolution. Japan understands that in a last resort, it should count on itself for its own defense and that of their allies. China is certainly not pleased by this development, but Taiwan is. Taiwan feels a lot more comfortable dealing with their old Japanese friends rather than an unstable American ally, who might be tempted to use them as a proxy in a conflict with China.

This is a hard lesson from the current conflict taking place in Ukraine. The Taiwanese want to remain at peace, they do not want a CCP diktat, but they also do not wish to be pawns to the chicken hawks in Washington DC

WE ARE NOW OFFICIALLY LIVING IN A DEMOCRATURE

 Posted by Frenchie    

What is a DEMOCRATURE might you ask?

This terminology which has been common in most of Europe over the last decade, is used for a Dictature which pretends to hide its excesses by keeping the exterior appearances of a democratic system.

During the past century we saw numerous examples of rampant dictatorial regimes.

From the bloody Dictatures of the "people" as embodied by the regimes of Stalin, Mao, the Kim dynasty and Pol Pot, to the Nazis of Germany and the Fascits of Italy, Hungary or Romania, without forgetting the terrorist version of the Banderists of Ukrainian collaborators with the Nazi regime, and all the small tyrants of Banana republics from Central, South America, Africa, the Carabeans, south East Asia, and the tyranical oligarchies of the Middle East. From the ashes of world war I and its immense trauma were born dictatures which would make the horrors of that war pale in comparison to the evil done under the guise of these philosophies.

One of the shining lights in this dark period, and exception to these atrocities was the approach of most western countries, which promoted a democratic system of representation, with shared common values, strong constitutions, and the idea that all men were created equal. Or for lack of better words, democratic systems. Which in itself is a gross misrepresentation of the word. Real democracies being no more than the fingers on one's hand, around the world. Knowing full well that they themselves are in a precarious state, because of the negative influences of their next door neighbors..

We, the citizens of the United States of America, have lazily rested on the delusional idea, that we continued to be the beacon of this ideal, around the world.

Our long lost exceptionalism, only being a memory rather than a reality.

Yet, dangerous individuals, groups of individuals and organizations, within our own country, and of course outside of our country have been hard at work trying to destroy the remnants of a once great idea of government.

The continued downfall of these ideals has accelerated over the last 30 years.  On the 1st of September of 2022, the elected (and disputed) 46th President of the United States shamelessly delivered a speech, pretending to save the soul of the Nation. I looked high and low to find a similar type of speech which demonized, villified, denigrated, condemned, or otherwise accused a large part of the country to be un-american. I had to go back to the hay days just prior to the beginning of the war between the States, to find such vitriol and animosity. So much for the man who campaigned as a unificator, and a breath of fresh air for democracy.

The likes of Dr Goebbels, Mussolini, Papa Doc, Idi Amin Dada or Joseph Stalin would have been proud to deliver such a hateful speech . Unfortunately it was a sitting President of the USA, a man who has pretended to be what he was not, throughout his long political career, a known plagiarist, and pathological liar. Yet despite his well established history, few could imagine that he would cross that invisible Rubicon, which no President before him had done.

We were exposed to an angry, bitter old man. A failed leader, who has transgressed a multitude of our laws and trampled on the Constitution since his rise to the highest position in our Republic.

Using reverse accusatory, in a manner which would have made Joseph Stalin blush with envy, Joseph Biden tried to justify the weaponization of our Federal Justice System, along with the politization of our leading law enforcement agencies and intelligence apparatus. 

Declaring there was no place for political violence, while totally ignoring the speeches of hatred spewed by leaders and members of his own political party, which led to an assassination attempt against a member of the Supreme Court, the vandalization, arsons, and other destructions of churches, political offices and other non profit organizations, without any consequences for the culprits, who act as a private militia for the DNC.

President Biden, who is by the way the most hated American President in World History, the most laughed at, the least believable; pretended to have moral high points that neither the Pope nor the Daili Lama would dare pretend to.

Using the false flag operation of January 6 2021 portrayed as

an insurrection against the legitimate government of the USA, to justify the months long militarisation of the Capital of our Country, the imprisonment of countless bumpkins as white supremacist terrorists, and the isolation for long periods of time of political opponents, just like the communist dictators of the Soviet Union used to do.

Finally President Biden argued there was" too much in our Country that is not normal". Accusing  shortly after the Maga crowd of the GOP to be a danger for the Republic.

While he was right that there is too much in our Country that is not normal; he probably was not talking about what the average American think about.

* An unchecked border, which is left wide open for illegal immigration, human and drug trafficking

*A justice system that leaves arsonists and terrorist from the far left roam free, while parents attending school meetings are labeled terrorists  by the Attorney General

*A revolving door mechanism in liberal cities, that let repeat criminals  go free, and re offend, many times in violent crimes. 

*An unbridled spending never seen before for the most radical policies meant to be social altering tools.

Finally the President  accused his political opponents to push radical social policies, while he, his party and his administration are imposing suicidal green policies, gender bending programs, CRT in our Schools, our administration and our armed forces.

Of course the President totally omitted to mention the galloping inflation,( which he pretends does not exist) the daily violence in our streets, the proxy war he is pushing against Russia, and the criminalization of political opponents. While Joseph Biden pretends to fight for democracy, he actually pulls us into a democrature. While doing so, he is unashamed and unapologetic, the definite traits of a true dictator.

Washington hopes to re-establish its Hyper power status, with the war in Ukraine

 posted by Frenchie

The evolution of the Russian "special operation" in Ukraine, into a real proxy war between Moscow and Washington, is the equivalent of opening a Pandora's box.

The objectives of NATO, the EU and their master handlers have evolved.

It is no longer a question of defending the Banderite's [*} regime in Kiev, from Russia, but rather to  exhaust both sides (including the EU), with the goal to re-instate the Status of Washington as an Hyper-power in a uni Polar world.

 

 

THE RESURRECTION OF THE COLD WARRIORS

Over the last two and half months, the Special Operation led by Moscow against the Banderites, has morphed into a real war between Russia, the Donbass People's Republics on one side, and NATO's  backed Ukraine on the other side.

Common insignia of the Asov Regiment and SS panzer division Das Reich
 

A Ukraine victory would be a major setback for Russia. A Russian victory would the death nail for NATO. Neither side can afford a defeat, therefore all options are on the table.

At first, the Banderites saw their former allies of the Anti Bolshevik bloc of Nations (ABN), and the World Anti Communist League (WACL) [1] such as the Turkish Grey Wolves flocking to Ukraine

(3000 militiamen for the Turks)

While the ABN and the WACL have not yet completely disappeared, they have been replaced by the secretive "Centuria Order". Neverless the links between certain fraternities and anti-Russian groups developed during the secret operations of the Cold war have survived. For example the links between  groups of Jihadists from different nationalities in Syria, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo, Albania, and Lybia, during several battles under the guidance of the CIA have long been established..

As of now it appears that Washington and NATO have made sure that this war shall last and continue to grow. Therefore these networks are continuing their mobilization, to remain active in this conflict.

Historically during the Cold war, Asian countries had been very active in their support of these groups.

For example,the Kuomintang in Taiwan had been very pro-active in its support of the WACL,going so far, as to establish the Political Warfare Cadre Academy of Ukrainian Banderite Yaroslav Stesko outside of Taipei. This school was the equivalent of the Fort Bragg 's Psychological Warfare Center, and the School of Americas located in Panama.

The Governor of Mykolayev, Vitaly Kim  is of Koryo-Saram origin and has direct contacts with the successors of former South Korean dictator Park Chung-hee.

Edward Luttwak
 

Following the advise of the Straussian Edgar Luttwak [2], this league was profoundly  transformed in 1983. It changed its name to the "World League of Freedom and Democracy".(WLFD) just after the collapse of the USSR. Its last congress was held in January23 and 24, 2022 in Taiwan.

The Congress took place under the presidency of Yao Eng Chi a high ranking member of the KMT.

WLFD has consultative status at the UN, with an office at the United Nation headquarters. Its activities are covered under the Taiwanese secrecy law, and the Taipei Government still funds it with $ 1million per annum.

 

Why die when you can exploit the distress of others?

While the CIA supported heirs of the Facist militias from around the world have joined the Banderites,

NATO is keeping its distance from the actual Ukrainian Army, in order to avoid a direct conflict between Russia and the USA. (both nuclear powers)

Following that logic the US summoned its allies at its German airbase of Ramstein, on April 26 2022 in order to twist their allies arms to furnish Ukraine with weapons.

Knowing that before the open conflict, the Zelensky government estimated that about a third of  their armed forces were composed of the Banderites militias, it is logic to consider that many of these weapons shall end up being distributed to these extremists groups. Any State with a semi competent intelligence service actually knows this.

Yet they are so afraid to rub the US deep state the wrong way, that only Israel refused to participate in this meeting.[3]

However if you compare it to the same type of meeting regarding Syria, where 66 countries participated, it is obvious that the power of the US has shrunk seriously since then, when it was about supporting the Islamic fighters against Assad. While these States represent a third of the United Nations membership, they in fact represent only a 10th of the World population. It is clear to see how drastically the influence of the USA has decreased over the last decade. 

Moreover, with this latest influx of arms into Ukraine, it is no longer necessary for the Zelensky government to attack the Moldovan Republic of Dniester, (Transnistria) which houses the largest stockpile of weapons on the European soil.

On April 29, 2022, the White House obtained from Congress $33 Billions in additional funds for arming the Ukrainians.

 

This in itself raises the Ukrainian military Budget to the 11th largest in the world.

After two months of fighting the American political world has rallied to the Straussian war and imagined what they could get out of it for themselves.

To become the hyper-power it once was, the USA had to replay the score of the beginning of World War II. In 1939 the United States had still not recovered from the economic collapse of 1929.

New York was still far behind its rival Buenos Aires. The brilliant idea had been to let the Europeans tear each other apart, by selling them mass produced weapons in exchange for their treasuries. Washington refused to commit itself until 1942, and then only very timidly at first.

 While the war resulted in 55 millions casualties, of which only 200'000 were Americans, the trick was to have leased American weapons.

The time for reckoning soon arrived after V Day.

The British were forced to relinquish their Empire, while the debt of the soviets was spread over 60 years, and was not cleared until  Vladimir Putin did so.Britain finished paying that debt in 2015.

Congress should logically quickly pass the Ukraine Democracy Defense Lease Act 2022, which has already passed the Senate (S3522). In reality economically as well the Second world war has never stopped. [4]

This is nothing but the application of the Wolfowitz doctrine of 1990, in order to prevent by all means a rival of the USA to develop a relation with the EU, while weakening said European Union.

 

If this measure is a rational approach on the logistical level, as well as an excellent economic investment. It is a military blunder that waste precious technology which requires a technical training the Ukrainian soldiers are totally lacking. In the short term, they will not be able to use said equipment . Moreover these weapons can only be used on the front line. Since the Russian have destroyed  the electrical sub station that feed the railroads, the equipment cannot be delivered. Further the European diesel locomotives are not compatible with the Ukrainian rail gauges. In addition most of the network has been strategically bombed rendering its use quasi impossible.

Given the corruption of President Volodomyr Zelensky, it is foreseeable that  faced by the Ukrainian incapacity to deliver these weapons, he shall most likely sell them on the black market. They shall resurface on other battlefields, but this time in the hands of non state actors.

 

In the period of two months since the beginning of the Russian operation, this joker has been able to embezzle hundreds of millions of dollars, while the Ukrainian people continue to suffer.

This US strategy to become once more the center of world, can only work, if the war spreads to the west. We are not talking about the inevitable military operations against Transnistria [5], but rather the economic involvement of the members of the EU.

To date, only Poland and Bulgaria have refused to pay for Russian Gas in Rubles. Therefore they have been deprived of gas supplies.

As of now, all other members of the European Union have agreed to submit payments in rubles. Albeit not directly to Gazprom, but through banking intermediaries. Polish rantings that the country is about to switch suppliers do not help: Warsaw will actually import Russian gaz from other European countries who have purchased it in Rubles. The only difference to this inanity is that the Poles have actually added another intermediary.

With this cow towing to their American overlords, Europeans have to expect a sharp drop in their standards of living, and the loss of their own treasury. None one seems to care at this time.

Towards the dismantling of Ukraine.

For now  Russian military operations are strictly limited to the destruction of the vast Ukrainian defense infrastructure which it build over the last 8 years with the technical and financial support of NATO.(which the west refuse to acknowledge). The mobile phase of the war has not yet begun. After months of shelling, it is expected to take place during the summer months, and should be quick.

The Russian army should then offer to move the population who still espouse the leanings of the Banderite government to the areas they still hold.

Meanwhile the war has aroused irredentist appetites. Poland, which considered last month annexing the Kaliningrad enclave, has now set its appetites on the occupation of Western Ukraine. This region known as Galicia was occupied by Poland between the two World Wars, after the fall of  the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and its subsequent dismemberment through the Treaty of Versailles. The plan is to deploy Polish "peacekeepers" who then would remain there. 

However, the Polish Ukrainian conflict left bad memories on both sides. It is precisely in this context that the Banderites were formed. Incidentally, Stepan Bandera had the Polish Minister of the Interior: Bronislaw Pieracki, assassinated.  Bandera claimed that he had avenged the repression of his party. In reality Bandera was already a member of the Gestapo, and was actively working on the preparation of the invasion of Poland by Germany's third Reich.

For the moment Romania has remained silent, but has discreetly positioned its troops on its eastern border. It appears that when the conflict extend to Transnistria, Romania will eventually question the existence of both Transnistria and Moldova, who used to be part of its territory, until the end of WW II.

Another country watching the conflict closely, and not taking any side is Hungary. While Ukraine has criticized the Orban government for not taking part in the embargo against Russia. The Hungarian government has kept a low profile. Yet they monitor with great attention the repression of Ethnic Magyars in the region of transcarpathia, which it lost with the treaty of Versailles in 1920.

The brutal reprisal of the Hungarian minority after the "revolution of dignity" (2014 Maidan coup d'etat), the interdiction of the language (like for the russophone) have created a tense situation. So far Transcarpathia is at peace. Many displaced persons (mostly from the internal opposition) have taken refuge in that region. Russian troops have not launched any kind of attack on the region. Finally the Slovaks have also their eyes on a small region, which represent just a few villages.

The Russian position has evolved since the Kiev government (encouraged by Washington) has refused further negotiation. While originally Moscow just wanted the recognition of Crimea (which is already part of the Russian federation) as well as those of the Lugansk and Donestk people's Republics.; it announced on March 24th its intention to annex all of southern Ukraine to link Transnistria, Crimea and the Donbass.

As the result of this carving out of its territory by the Polish, Romanian, Magyar, Russian; Ukraine could end up with less than half of its territory, and an economy left to its bare bones.

A rare positive attempt.

On April 26th, UN Secretary General Antonio Guttierez went to the Kremlin with two propositions.

*Create a joint commission of UN-Ukraine-Russia to coordinate humanitarian efforts

*Create with the UN and International Red Cross a corridor to evacuate civilian who wished to leave the Asovstal factory stronghold.

Ukrainians proposed corridors to Moldova and Poland, while the Russians proposed corridors to Belarus and Russia. (knowing the banderites would be arrested and tried there) no agreeement was reached.

 

At the end of April it was not known if there were civilians left in Asovstal. In early May 1300 Ukrainian troops (mostly Marines) used a Russian corridor to surrender. Ukrainian POWs did claimed that there were civilians used as human shields by the Asov repression regiment, but Kiev denied it.

A few days later civilians were allowed to leave Asovstal, in exchange for food and water for the banderites. A de facto admission they were held against their will. Apparently Moscow was raising its humanitarian demands, in order to obtain the same treatment for their troops held by the Kiev government. Moscow is aware  of the many reports from varied sources, about the ill treatment, torture, and war crimes, captured Russian soldiers have been victims of.

Before the opening of the talks, Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated his country's position: Russia rejects the rules laid down by the West, and demands the respect of the UN Charter (which had been the subject of the proposal of the bilateral US-Russia treaty of the December 17, 2021) [7]

The UN Secretary General then explained that according to the general opinion, the UN Charter condemns the invasion of a sovereign country. To which the Russian President  replied that this was a unique and special case: Ukraine had publicly declared that it would not implement the Minsk's agreements that had been registered by the Security council of the UN, and subsequently had attacked its own population in Donbass with heavy weapons. After eight years of resistance to this assault, these populations voted for independence, and their own governments asked Russia for help, which it did under Chapter 51 of the Charter of the UN.

Vladimir Putin also referred to the decision of the International Court of Justice on the independence of Kosovo. The court declared that the right of peoples to self determination, could be applied without the consent of the central authority, to which they were previously subject. This was not disputed. In Kosovo, however, it was the National Assembly who proclaimed independence; while in Donbass it was the people themselves who proclaimed it in a referendum.

At the end of the reunion, the UN and the International Red Cross agreed with Russia, to establish a procedure for the evacuation of civilians from the Azovstal plant in Mariupol.

WAR PROPAGANDA

All the while, the war propaganda continues. It is interesting to note that both sides are addressing different targets, and using different methods.

Washington and London are seeking to convince Westerners of their narrative. They do not address the Ukrainians, let alone the Russians. They impose their position through repetition, then move on. They are careful to underplay the Ukrainian Neo Nazis, by staging beautiful images, and by blaming Russians for crimes they accuse them of having committed.

A striking example is their accusations, that the Russian army had committed  a massacre of civilians in the town of Bucha. Western leaders even used the term of genocide, one of the highest war crimes. So called experts explained that the victims had been shot with automatic weapons. Yet international forensic experts invalidated that version. [9] In turn Kiev suppressed this news and indicted 10 Russians (identity unknown)

 

The Ukrainian propaganda focuses on two issues: the invention of military victories, praised by the western press, but quickly denied, as well as the attribution of abominable crimes to the Russian army, also quickly denied.

For its parts, Moscow is considering the West, as people that cannot and will not accept reality, and therefore unable to change their mind until they have really lost. Its propaganda is targeted to the Russians and the Ukrainians, whom they consider to have been deceived by the Banderites and other extremists from the Kiev government. A typical case, is that rather than talking about current issues, the Russians have released their files, and military archives [10] to show that the Banderites never had any qualms about murdering and/or torturing other Ukrainians. Above all, and this is extremely important to the Russian perspective, it shows that the Banderites  never at any times fought the Nazis, but rather collaborated willingly with them. They are making sure to debunk the Wikipedia view, which is the official Ukrainian version, for whom the Banderites, fought the Nazis as well as the Soviets. The Western press does not relay these informations, because they would otherwise be forced to change their narrative about the glorious "resistance of the Asov bataillons" for example. More ever WWII German documents recently released by Moscow, show that the Nazi regime and the Banderites together, planned to annihilate the Donbass population. While they did not have the opportunity to execute these plans in the 1940s, it became known as a beginning plan for Azov after the 2014 coup d'Etat.
