Council Backs Cabán After Her Views on Policing and Public Safety Lead to Threats

Don’t call the police, business owners. Instead, report confrontation to your security team and they call the police. Pretty slick, councilwoman.

Military Intelligence vs Diplomacy and Common Sense

We are told the Russo-Ukranian War is going badly for Russia. While Russia annexed four boarder regions last week, their armed forces seem to be not up to par with western opinions regarding their war like capabilities. Russian troops are surrendering individually and in mass, leaving their armored vehicles and tanks to be used by Ukranian Forces. Bombing continues strategically taking out targets of military and psychological importance. While Russia attempts to destroy the Ukranian Peoples moral, and the western democracies continue to arm their ally Ukraine, the war continues towards an uncertain end. End to the war, or perhaps too many of us. Russia has many atomic bombs, in permanent installations. mobile platforms, in the air and on the seas, and they can be launched rather quickly.

There was a fear many had during the WW2 era that Germanys leader had atomic bombs. If Hitler had those weapons they may have been used, and in the process changing world history. President Putin is in a similar situation, where his nation is well armed with all sorts of futuristic weapons, and while threatening the west with nuclear war, has not done so yet. Putin is probably carrying our many operations cleansing his forces and administration of opponents. If Putin finds himself militarily and politically in a pickle, will he willingly use nuclear weapons? Should he use limited range low ton nuclear weapons on the Ukranian Forces, it may well get a response from the west where their use of nuclear weapons must be used.

And the Domesday Clock continues to move towards possible world annihilation. I wonder if western leaders have considered the wholly destructive process, they have become a part of? There is a war, and they picked sides. What to do they thought? Get the CIA to make educated assumptions with intelligence, and then encourage the west and their ready to serve military complex to arm, train and encourage Ukranian Forces to attack and hopefully stop Russian Forces. A process that has happened many times in our past, sometimes coming back to bite the West in the ass. A historic recycling of what happened in the past, is presently happening and what probably will happen in the future. Human beings apply their efforts into something proven, a process with good odds of achieving success. Humans seem to not think about how they can change something in a uniquely creative way. At least not if you work for the government, military or intelligence service, where “military intelligence” rules the day. Can military intelligence trump diplomacy? Oh yah. It does.

This war and the wests responses, exist for a few reasons:

1. Russian Energy expansion needed Ukranian territory or full compliance.
2. Authoritarian Regimes exist only if they have their populations compliance. Through elements of nationalism/pride, prejudice of the other, national enrichment.
3. Russia’s Oligarchs self- enrichment can never slow down.
4. Ukranian natural resources could quench Russia’s appetites
5. The west see’s this conflict as controllable, through State- to -State pressures, diplomacy and manipulations.
6. Western Weapon Manufacturer’s influencers see and encourage the conflict as an opportunity to profit. West has sold, lent or given 3 billion dollars of weapons to Ukraine. Weapons lobbyists in Ottawa, Washington, Paris, London and else- where, push their death trinkets to our politicians merely for profits.

7. Those leaders presently in power realize that a armed conflict can be manipulated into a certain win in their political schemes and ambitions. American Presidents running for office during a conflict usually win.
8. A weakened Russia allows the west to concentrate upon their other economic and political rival, China.
9. The West needs World Energy Sources to be contained and controlled. Russia has been a pariah of confusion and chaos for decades. The worlds remaining energy sources make these conflicts inevitable.

What could the west have done to make sure this war could never start? The EU could have allowed Ukraine entrance into its membership long ago. Membership to N.A.T.O. would have made a great deal of sense long ago. The west claims to understand Russia’s yet their actions show the opposite. The west has no real understanding of either Russian or Chinese national thoughts, the way they think, and why they think in a particular way. Russia remains insular in thought, forever defensive, and looking for enemies in place they are not. China is the New America, combining socialism and capitalism theory, while globetrotting, while buying up all the worlds natural resources they can get their hands onto. China has learnt how Super -Powers play in 2022, while Russia is not even a limited participant in the game.

Russia has “real weapons of mass destruction”, unlike Iraq, and they can and will use them upon the innocents of the world. Putin, like other historical leaders, when placed in the corner, will come out fighting in order to save themselves and their legacy. Biden, Trudeau, Truss, Macron and others face decision making that can destroy our civilization or bring peace. What are they going to do?
