The Debate: Harris Gears Up for U.S/ Ukraine War- The ‘October Surprise’ is Underway

The sleeper topic during the debate. Moscow just now was attacked by Ukraine/U.S. drones. The only thing Harris was willing to talk about was her position on Ukraine and she was “perfectly clear” about her support. That was odd. The largest drone attack ever against Moscow just happened. Blinken is in Ukraine.

It was about the only issue that we had a semblance of an idea of where she stands on anything and she certainly was articulate. First a refresher of what she did say in the debate before we dig in. Cue it up to the 3 minute time stamp to pick up mostly her take. Earlier was Trump’s speaking.

We can’t say she didn’t take the time to memorize the lines. A fervent plea for war and more war.

The buffoons that encouraged all of this Ukraine nonsense. This as the Russians were massing at the border.

Now, the line in the sand is drawn with breaking news yesterday. Ukraine has already been using long-range drone attacks deep inside Russia and as far as Moscow all year. Hitting oil refineries, one in Samara, 560 miles from Ukraine as well as power plants. Now we should trust Zelensky with long range missiles?

Ukraine strikes Moscow in biggest drone attack to date

Residents said they awoke to blasts and fire.

“I looked at the window and saw a ball of fire,” Alexander Li, a resident of the district told Reuters. “The window got blown out by the shockwave.”

Georgy, a resident who declined to give his surname, said he heard a drone buzzing outside his building in the early hours.

Isn’t it interesting this all goes down while we are focused on the debate?

Breaking news: British David Lammy says West ‘listening carefully’ to Ukraine over long range missile needs. Foreign Secretary David Lammy and his US counterpart Antony Blinken are on a joint visit to the Ukrainian capital to show support for Kyiv.

Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly pushed for permission to use Western missiles to strike at targets within Vladimir Putin’s Russia, and US President Joe Biden and Sir Keir Starmer are set to discuss the issue in Washington tomorrow. Speaking to reporters in the Ukrainian capital, Mr Lammy said he and his US counterpart Mr Blinken were to “listen to Ukraine, to speak to President Zelensky, to hear and understand the strategy”.

Putin has his own opinion as how this whole thing will/might play out. As Trump said last night, don’t forget, Russia has “the big one.” American Lt Col. C. Davis gives an excellent analysis of why the use of these weapons is a very bad idea.

Good luck America. So Biden is going to start the October surprise?

There has been a steady drumbeat for all out war especially beginning in 2024. Zelensky cannot be trusted. Here is a portion of a couple of earlier posts.

Ukraine Defies U.S. Order to Stop Attacking Russian Oil Refineries

March 26, 2024 — bunkerville 

“Nobody after two years of large-scale war can dictate conditions for waging this war in Ukraine.” So says Zelensky’s aid, Mykhailo Podolyak.

The United States has urged Ukraine to stop attacking Russia’s oil refineries, fearing a surge in global oil prices and Russian retaliation. Washington issued warnings to senior officials at Ukraine’s state security service, the SBU, and its military intelligence directorate, known as the GUR, as per the Financial Times. Oil has risen 12 percent since March 12, 2024.

Ukraine has knocked another Russian oil refinery out of commission along with one of the country’s largest power plants in another long-range drone attack. Video from the Kuybyshevsky oil refinery in Samara, 560 miles from Ukraine, shows drones circling overhead and slamming down into the refinery, causing large fires to break out.

The drones, which have a distinctive V-shaped tail fin are the same ones used to target the Ryazan oil refinery a fortnight ago, blowing up the distillation towers and putting the facility out of action long-term.

Then we have:

War Cry from Macron Over Ukraine – The Coming Conflict

March 18, 2024 

All of a sudden Europe is concerned about Russia and especially Ukraine. The nervous nellies are thinking that their nemesis Trump might just win the election this fall thus the U.S. might not be as willing to step up and bail them out like last century. Just in case Putin decides to go big or go home… Putin threatened Nukes. It doesn’t hurt also, that Congress is making it clear that the U.S. is not the endless piggy bank and we are getting cranky about the whole thing.

It doesn’t hurt that Europe’s farmers are not a bit happy in having their farm confiscated or at the least restrictions that insure their bankruptcy. Attention elsewhere never hurts.

They sure laughed last time around with Trump and his advancing theory that Europe might just be on their own… because as he says, they should be.

At the least, the U.S. not contribute the lion share of their defense.

The very best of the swamp
