The Kremlin signal: \u201cWe haven\u2019t even started\u201d starts now.<\/p>\n<p><em>Exhibit 2:<\/em>\u00a0Friday afternoon, a few hours after Peskov. Confirmed by a serious European \u2013 not Russian \u2013 source. The first counter-signal.<\/p>\n<p>Regular troops from France, Germany and Poland have arrived, by rail and air, to Cherkassy, south of Kiev. A substantial force. No numbers leaked. They are being housed in schools. For all practical purposes, this is a NATO force.<\/p>\n<p>That signals, \u201cLet the games begin\u201d. From a Russian point of view, Mr. Khinzal\u2019s business cards are set to be in great demand.<\/p>\n<p><em>Exhibit 3:<\/em>\u00a0Friday evening. Terror attack on Crocus City, a music venue northwest of Moscow. A heavily trained commando shoots people on sight, point blank, in cold blood, then sets a concert hall on fire. The definitive counter-signal: with the battlefield collapsing, all that\u2019s left is terrorism in Moscow.<\/p>\n<p>And just as terror was striking Moscow, the US and the UK, in southwest Asia, was bombing Sana\u2019a, the Yemeni capital, with at least five strikes.<\/p>\n<p>Some nifty coordination. Yemen has just clinched a strategic deal in Oman with Russia-China for no-hassle navigation in the Red Sea, and is among the top candidates for BRICS+ expansion at the summit in Kazan next October.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s War: The Real Meat Grinder Starts Now Exhibit 1:\u00a0Friday, March 22, 2024.
