Hello John and Doves,
In recent letters to Doves I've
commented on Senate rulings in 2023 concerning NATO and the
Ukraine War. The Senate is definitely pushing for war with
Russia. And it looks like the Senate just 'defaulted'
to NATO for declaration of war. A U.S. general is the
Supreme Allied Commander in Europe and NATO just voted to
increase his powers - where he does not need to consult
other nations concerning emergency matters. And the
U.S. has the most nukes in Europe and has total control over
them. The counteroffensive in Ukraine is going
poorly. U.S. intelligence advisors have been wrong
from the get go. And cluster munitions were sent by
Biden in an act of desperation because we have no more
ammunition to send Ukraine. The warmongers probably
have plans of using tactical nukes anyway. There will
be no winners.
There was a vote in Congress on S.
Amdt.222. The Purpose of this was: To
express the sense of Congress that Article 5 of the North
Atlantic Treaty does not supersede the constitutional
requirement that Congress declares war before the United
States engages in war." The sponsor of this bill
is Senator Ran Paul (R-KY)
There was a vote to approve or
reject this amendment. 16 Republicans voted YES.
No Democrats or Independents voted for this
amendment. 83 voted NO. 32 Republicans and 48
Democrats and 3 Independents. So Article 5 can be
enacted and the U.S. will go to war without congressional
approval.
This amendment was rejected per
3/5 required.
"The US and Europe are struggling
to provide Ukraine with the large amount of ammunition it
will need for a prolonged counteroffensive against
Russia." NATO had not planned on a very long
war with Russia. NATO was prepared for a 'day one,
night one' war with Russia - not a war that's been
dragging on for a year and a half! (Who
didn't see that possibility??)
So what did the US due to offset
their ammunition deficit for Ukraine? They sent
cluster munitions. The US had already supplied Ukraine
with over 2 million 155mm artillery rounds. John
Sullivan, White House National Security advisor told CCN
that sending the cluster munitions "was necessary, though,
because of how low US stockpiles are." This is an act
of desperation. The counteroffensive is having dismal
results. Russia is dug in for the long
haul.
So what will the US do when
they've used up all the cluster munitions? Are nuclear
weapons next on the list?
And the new Ukrainian
counteroffensive is "happening more slowly than people
predicted". US production of war equipment just isn't
keeping up. Ex Lockheed Martin production line
for Javelin anti-armor missiles is 2,100 a year.
Ukraine is using 500 a day! The mass production of
ammunition, the US discovered, will take years to "get to
the level that we needed".
Seems the U.S. military
intelligence/advisers have been way off in
their 'predictions' for this war even before it started. How
is that even possible?? Blinded by their hate for
Putin/Russia? I remember when HIllary Clinton ran for
president - all the news talked about was her going to war
with Russia. Well now they have their war...and it
isn't going well for them at all. Our military was ill
prepared for war with Russia.
This war with Russia is not
winnable for the West. Anyone watching this knows it
but the US/UK/NATO/the US Congress keep pushing this.
This is their long wanted war. The want regime change
in Russia - they want Russia divided up.
.
And the warmongers know -
It's the nuclear weapons of the U.S. that are "the supreme
guarantee of the security of the Alliance.
The independent strategic nuclear forces of the United
Kingdom and France have a deterrent role of their own and
contribute significantly to the overall security of the
Alliance...NATO's nuclear deterrence posture also relies on
the United States' nuclear weapons forward-deployed in
Europe...A number of NATO member countries contribute a
dual-capable aircraft capability to the Alliance.
These aircraft are central to NATO's nuclear deterrence
mission and are available for nuclear roles at various
levels of readiness. In their nuclear role, the
aircraft are equipped to carry nuclear bombs in a conflict
and personnel are trained accordingly."
Recently NATO had a meeting in
Vilnius, Lithiuania; here is the summit communique:
Here is a good analysis of this
war:
"The supply of
cluster munitions is a symbolic act on the part of the
United States and Ukraine because they will not have any
real effect on the current stalemate that exists in
eastern and southern Ukraine. The
much-vaunted Ukrainian counteroffensive has been
unsuccessful, and no amount of cluster munitions will have
an impact. Having failed to seize the initiative in
their offensive operations, the Russians have dug in for the
long run in the Donbas. Cluster munitions
would have some utility against an advancing army, but
little against an entrenched one...Ukraine has
serious logistical issues in supplying its front lines and
lacks the reserves needed to deal with a superior defensive
force. Ukraine also lacks the mobility needed to take
advantage of Russia's armored and artillery presence.
Old-fashioned artillery is still the central feature
of the war and Russia has a huge advantage here.
Finally, Ukraine yielded the essential important of surprise
by signaling its plans for a counteroffensive months before
taking action."
"Meanwhile, the Biden
administration continues to signal to an uninformed
American public that its deployment decisions will make a
difference in Ukraine's battle against the Russian....the
United States should have banned cluster munitions three
decades ago with President Bill Clinton had an opportunity
to reverse the militarization of US foreign policy in the
wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the
Cold War." One problem of the cluster bombs is the
failure to explode on impact - they can remain unexploded
for years until disturbed - killing civilians long after the
conflict is over."
"It is time to acknowledge that
the war between Russia and Ukraine is unwinnable, and the
heavy losses to the civilian community and its
infrastructure will only worsen. Print media and
cable news are giving optimistic accounts that create the
misleading impression that the war must continue until
Ukraine is successful."

Cluster Bombs to Ukraine: An Act of Desperation -
CounterPunch.org
Maybe Congress is getting the same
news the American people are getting - that Ukraine is
winning. HA! But that isn't very likely. Or, and
I believe this is the case - Congress wants a win no
matter the cost. Congress will back NATO no matter how
long it takes to destroy Russia. The West is already
low on ammo - they've resorted to cluster munitions out of
desperation - looks like their plan is tactical
nuclear weapons - and that's why Biden ordered all F-16s
shipped to Ukraine must be able to carry tactical nuclear
weapons.
Peace and peace treaty are not in their
vocabulary.
WW3 is dead ahead.
IF this is in God's plan.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!!
Maranatha!
