Escobar: Electric Wars<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n
\n
\n

Footfalls echo in the memory<\/em>
\nDown the passage which we did not take<\/em>
\nTowards the door we never opened<\/em>
\nInto the rose-garden. My words echo<\/em>
\nThus, in your mind.<\/em>
\nBut to what purpose<\/em>
\nDisturbing the dust on a bowl of rose-leaves<\/em>
\nI do not know<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Spare a thought to the Polish farmer snapping pics of a missile wreckage \u2013 later indicated to belong to a Ukrainian S-300. So a Polish farmer, his footfalls echoing in our collective memory, may have saved the world from WWIII \u2013 unleashed via a tawdry plot concocted by Anglo-American \u201cintelligence\u201d.<\/p>\n

Such tawdriness was compounded by a ridiculous cover-up: the Ukrainians were firing on Russian missiles from a direction that they could not possibly be coming from. That is: Poland. And then the U.S. Secretary of Defense, weapons peddler Lloyd \u201cRaytheon\u201d Austin, sentenced Russia was to blame anyway, because his Kiev vassals were shooting at Russian missiles that should not have been in the air (and they were not).<\/p>\n

Call it the Pentagon elevating bald lying into a rather shabby art.<\/p>\n

The Anglo-American purpose of this racket was to generate a \u201cworld crisis\u201d against Russia. It\u2019s been exposed \u2013 this time. That does not mean the usual suspects won\u2019t try it again. Soon.<\/p>\n

The main reason is panic. Collective West intel sees how Moscow is finally mobilizing their army \u2013 ready to hit the ground next month \u2013 while knocking out Ukraine\u2019s electricity infrastructure as a form of Chinese torture.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those February days of sending only 100,000 troops \u2013 and having the DPR and LPR militias plus Wagner commandos and Kadyrov\u2019s Chechens do most of the heavy lifting \u2013 are long gone. Overall, Russians and Russophones were facing hordes of Ukrainian military \u2013 perhaps as many as 1 million. The \u201cmiracle\u201d of it all is that Russians did quite well.<\/p>\n
