Sedona, AZ – This one is for those of you currently losing sleep over the menacing clouds of war looming over Ukraine and Europe and the distinct possibility our country could be pulled into it.
Don’t worry. Be happy. Go back to stressing about Covid and the mandates. That war just ain’t gonna’ happen. No chance. No way. Not in the cards.
It’s like two roosters posturing, fluffing their feathers to scare the other away. It’s all bluff and bravado, but on an international stage rather than a barnyard.
Nobody really wants that war. Except, perhaps, those in the business of making and selling its lethal machinery.
Other than them, people are just too civilized now, too connected globally to want a bloody war of the proportions one in Ukraine would achieve.
A war of such magnitude would throw the global economy into a tailspin. Kill hundreds of thousands. Set Europe ablaze. Come home to our shores. Who knows how far it could escalate.
Would Russia take out our communication satellites? Take down the Internet in Europe and beyond? Cyber freeze our infrastructure? Engage in aerial conflict with the willing-to-fight NATO members? Go all out in an orgy of death and destruction?
Of course not.
The bloodbath and carnage that would ensue with today’s uber-lethal weapons would be incomprehensible, unfathomable.
Further, if Russia was really serious about taking Ukraine, they would have amassed more than 150,000 paltry troops to defeat a Ukrainian military that’s almost 250,000 strong and extremely heavily armed by us and other NATO members.
To achieve a decisive victory they would have had to commit at least 300,000 troops out of their 1 million strong military and 2 million strong reserve.
The chess game being played is one of finesse, nouns and verbs between the conflicting sides, basically revolving around one issue: the West wants Ukraine with its Black Sea access to join NATO and the Russians will not allow it. Period!
The Russians have drawn a line in the snow and if they must go to war they will, but first they would have to commit a third of their armed forces to the task and that will take a bit more time.
When we see that, then it’s time to worry. But for now, the players are at the table hammering out a deal.
Only a monkey wrench thrown into the proceedings by the global military industrial complex could ignite a real war. But the purveyors may be satiated for now with all the hardware they are presently selling because of the current perceived threat level.
The fact that Ukraine joined The Partnership for Peace (PfP) is enough of a thorn in Russia’s side to make Putin wince.
To have Ukraine join the surrounding NATO countries under U.S. control is unacceptable and Russia is letting everyone know with its military build-up, that it’s a serious no-no.
Russia is not going to let down its guard until it’s sure the threat of Ukraine joining NATO is mitigated.
If Putin really wanted a war, there would be a lot more troops committed and there would be no more talking about it.
Call it a European “Mexican Standoff” if you wish. Everyone is pointing guns, but no one wants to pull the trigger.
Diplomacy, in the end, will terminate the crisis, just in time for another one manufactured, to scare the be jeepers out of us.
How about a global stock market crash the likes of the one in 1929? That would certainly get our attention now that Covid is losing its glimmer.
How about an alien invasion? Oh yea!

As usual, Tommy, you are SO right.
totally agree. good one, tommy.
Look at the movie “Look Up.” An earth destroying asteroid has believers and non believers. Would folks believe an alien invasion?
What the heck is it with you Tommy. On Sunday during the height of the Ukraine war hysteria you write this article about how it’s all posturing on Russia’s and NATO’s part and that it will all blow over, and today, suddenly, we hear the Russians are pulling back a bit and willing to talk? You have done this more than once. You seem to have access to inside information no one else in the media does. Who are you? Really? Did Putin read your article and change his mind?
Russia, not a NATO country, doesn’t want NATO next door in the Ukraine. Bay of Pigs moment.
Russia doesn’t want war either. Look for the video of the Russian press secretary trying to answer questions about moving into Ukraine — all questions about war were answered with a resounding NO, Russia wasn’t going to invade Ukraine (a country that $upport$ the Biden family; Hunter gets some $600k for being on a board of trustees for an Ukrainian energy company there… and who knows what else. ) So, the press secretary, who worked as a television comedian before being appointed press secretary said very sarcastically, “Oh sure, yeah. you got us. We’re going to invade Wednesday the 15th at noon.” Biden relies heavily on his non-human artificial intelligence officers for advice, and they can not understand sarcasm. The Biden Administration ran with a joke. Russia has no intention of going to war with Ukraine. But, made you look!
Next up: UFO/UAP invasion/threat. Hey, I’ll take ET invasion over a nuclear war with Russia any day – since we’ve seen lights in the sky for hundreds of years. If they wanted us gone, we’d be gone a long time ago. It’s not about the lights in the skies, it’s about the lies on the ground.
Update: Today Putin asked Biden for the list of dates Russia will invade this year so that they can plan vacations for government and military officials.
Feel like you’ve been lied to yet?
Hey when is Trump. Taking over as POTUS again as you “Predicted” would happen last year??! You’ve been lying to us for over a year! Lol
Stay tuned! No lies, truth always. It’s just that you’re having a lot of trouble seeing with all that sand in your eyes (get your head out of the sand and that will improve.)
With the Durham report and the Arizona election being decertified, change is awaiting in the wings.
It’s going slow, so normies like you won’t have such a hard time with the changes.
good luck!
