NATO Chief Wants Less Talk of Ukraine Peace, More Arms Shipments – via antiwar.com
Mark Rutte’s comments align with the Biden administration, which is working to pour weapons into Ukraine before Trump’s inauguration
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said Tuesday that the alliance shouldn’t be talking about what a peace process would look like for Ukraine but should instead be focused on sending more weapons to the country.
Ahead of the start of a two-day NATO foreign ministers meeting in Brussels, Rutte was asked about potential offers to help bring an end to the war and said, “I would argue, let’s not have all these discussions step by step on what a peace process might look like. Make sure that Ukraine has what it needs to get to a position of strength when those peace talks start, when the Ukrainian government has decided they are ready to do so.”
Rutte said the meetings of NATO foreign ministers will be focused on how to get more weapons to Ukraine. “So I would say more military aid and less discussions on what a peace process could look like,” he said.
Whew! Sigh of relief there. We can’t be having lollipop and candy cane discussions about peace when there’s still so much more killing to be done…at the hands of others son’s and daughters, of course. The West has policies you know, and those don’t include any pre-mature, pansy ass peace planning until all the killings are done. And when that time is exactly, well, only the defense corporations know for sure. They have a stake in all this too, you know.
Rutte’s comments align with the Biden administration’s plans to pour as many weapons as they can into Ukraine before President-elect Donald Trump, who campaigned on ending the war, is inaugurated on January 20, 2025. In recent weeks, President Biden has signed off on significant escalations, including NATO-supported long-range strikes in Russia and the provision of widely banned anti-personnel mines.
Of course he has. I mean, escalating shit is the way to get WWIII really going.
World War III Is Heating Up On Several Fronts, But Most Americans Have No Idea… – via zerohedge.com
Um, duh! One thing almost all Americans share is having no real desire to know what’s going on or for the truth. I mean, Jesus, Mary and holy St. Joseph, people have really important gooey thoughts to entertain to get them through each banal moment of their days. And it’s the holiday season celebrating the birth of some guy from long ago, who preached peace and keeping the commandments and other goody-goody stuff, so people are a little pre-occupied with commemorating it by buying shit that no one really needs, okay?
And probably not a good idea to listen to these guys…they want peace and I think we can all agree that is an extremely dangerous path to go down.
