NYT’s Haberman rejoices Trump indicted for trying to overturn 2020 election https://nytimes.com/2023/08/01/us/politics/trump-indicted-election-jan-6.html But NYT’s credibility zero. Haberman won Pulitzer for spreading junk on Trump’s “ties to Russia”. Meanwhile Trump is having a field day in Newsweek, no less

Exceptional Exceptionalism
Biden channels Madeleine Albright’s exceptionalism; only he can “bring world together” (sic). (As delusional as “Russia has already lost”.) Germans know who blew Nordstream. Support for AfD party grows as it exposes US poodles in Berlin who duck the issue.
“…We Would Have to Go Nuclear”
Why has fmr Russian President Dimitry Medvedev urged us to “pray” Russia wins in Ukraine? explains “If NATO tore off part of our land, we would have to go nuclear.” VIPS to Biden https://original.antiwar.com/Veteran-Intelligence-Professionals-for-Sanity2/2023/01/25/leopards-vs-the-russian-bear/ It is not possible to “defeat Russia” AND avoid WWIII
Talking Ukraine, Africa, and China
Round-up on Russia, Ukraine, Poland, North Korea, China: Garland Nixon interviews me on recent events and possible futures; July 29 (60 minutes). Toward the end I lighten (and mess) up w/ dumb joke re Alexander Graham Kowalski – “the first telephone Pole”.
Two-Front War?
Russian Def Min Shoigu in N Korea is warning of two-front war if US escalates in Ukraine. Evokes memories of Korean War when N Korea & Stalin’s Russia were US ENEMIES, not WW-II when US & USSSR were ALLIES. Kim Jong Un: Russia is in “holy fight” in Ukraine

Burns and Biden
CIA director Burns has been promoted to cabinet for telling Biden Russia has already lost in Ukraine. Really! Judge Napolitano & I try to deal with this madness jocularly. Earlier I had hoped Burns would play an adult role https://consortiumnews.com/2021/01/12/ray-mcgovern-can-burns-change-the-cia/
Forget it:
CIA Chief Promoted to Cabinet for Whistling the Right Tune
CIA’s Wm Burns now on Biden’s cabinet for telling him what he wants to hear; e.g. “Putin’s war is already a strategic failure for Russia – its military weakness laid bare.” https://washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/07/07/cia-director-william-burns-ditchley-speech-adaptation/ Whistling in the dark! Besides, roles of Intel chief, policy maker are incompatible
What Do We Do?
You’ve been had, Americans! The carnage in Ukraine, possible use of nuclear weapons are demonstrably OUR OWN FAULT. What do we do? Wean your friends off Establishment media; show them the documents. I made 9-min comment after Matt Hoh’s talk on JFK July 10
Ukraine Running Out of Ammo
“Judging Freedom” this morning drew me out on WHY Ukraine has no ammo, NATO’s cupboard bare, US stocks “low”. Spoiler alert: after USSR imploded, military threat from Russia seen as minimal. The US-sponsored coup in Kyiv on Feb 22, 2014 changed all that.
