If the N. Koreans are fighting, we'll soon enough see a picture of a corpse or POW plastered all over the world's media...
I've no doubt we pay top price for oil. I just wondered whether we get it from a sanctions proof country. It looks like war is coming and I doubt very much that our neutrality will hold. We have no leverage with the worldly powers but we do have the ear of the almighty so let prayer be our sustenance and God's grace be our strength. The best state for us now is the state of grace. Those of you with children, warn them against harbouring bitterness, hatred or vengeance in their hearts against anyone no matter how bad things get.
The important thing to remember is that Russia and North Korea share a border. https://maps.app.goo.gl/GMhdzRiQsRLyjHsB9 I would not doubt that North Korea soldiers are in (eastern) Russia learning the modern battlefield techniques (drones, jamming, spot and artillery strikes in minutes, etc.) that the Russians are perfecting. But until there is proof, I will assume they are far away from Ukrainian front.
I feel your pain Steve. And yes, Nordstream was a great deal for Germany and by extension for all Europe. Unfortunately, Shroder boasting that it could elevate the Euro to rival the US $ was the kiss of death to it and Germany. In fairness to Merkel, she was in a no-win situation. The US and UK were championing Turkey's cause for EU membership. They may have been leading Erdogan up the garden path but she couldn't be sure of that. I don't think anyone doubts now that ISIS was a US proxy. Do you recall that the jihadi highway crossed Turkey unimpeded. I think that was Erdogan pressuring Merkel to fast track Turkey's accession. She was between a rock and a hard place. NATO wanted Turkey onside and Erdogan wanted Turkey in the EU. Yes, thanks to Obama and Kerry's "friendly rebels", and the Soros (US) funded NGOs supplying route maps and emergency services numbers for claiming asylum, the victims of the forever wars have learned that emigration to Europe is possible without the red tape. I think that experience may have been what prompted Merkel to posit the idea of an EU military. Anyway, she walked the tight rope as long as she could but in the end succumbed to the pressure to participate in the sham agreement on Ukraine. Did you know that it was Pompeo in Trump's administration who put pressure on Europe to do the gas deal with Israel and that the US under Biden subsequently withdrew support claiming it wasn't cost effective? Blowing up Nordstream seems to have made it viable. I wonder who or what changed Biden's mind. Then again, maybe I don't. Stay warm, Steve, and stay safe. If all else fails, maybe Padraig will do BnB in the Spanish hills.
Thank you, I wish you the same. One can be grateful if you still have both. The Garabandal prophecies say the warning comes when the chaos is at its worst. I assume this means that the chaos will no longer just be observed via the internet from somewhere else in the world, but that each of us will be directly affected by something. That can happen quickly. We can pray and trust that we will be guided.
I was looking at Father Paul Kramer’s Facebook profile today and noticed, coincidentally, that two days ago he shared a video featuring prophecies by Blessed Elena Aiello. He mentioned that the correct translation from Italian, in the context of one of the prophecies, is “secret weapons” and not “secret armies.” https://www.facebook.com/1000010626...JbZ71idEXosqWLMcbypBAHWmUrtRmCw2N1Jl/?app=fbl
Maybe this is the beginning of Mr. Schwab's prediction that we will own nothing and be happy. If so, be assured that happiness is only a day away from when we are divested of all we think we own. Basto will be along in a minute with a link to a report citing "unnamed" Intelligences sources that the Houthis are fighting with the Russians in Ukraine. But don't lose hope because Starmer and Macron are sending troops to fight those evil Ruskies and they're helping Bibi save Western civilisation in Palestine and Lebanon. What could go wrong? I can't go to Mass myself because I have a bug but I'll be booking one online for special intentions. Your safety and wellbeing will be included in the intentions.
I don't even know what to answer. God bless you! I will include you in my prayers. We will get to know each other in heaven, God willing.
You could be talking about Ireland and the Irish people. We are dumbed down, media-swallowing ejits too.
Russia preparing to retaliate after it says Ukraine hit it with US-made Atacms twice in last three days The Kremlin has said it is preparing retaliatory measures after Ukraine twice fired US-made Atacms missiles into Russia in the last three days. Moscow said both strikes targeted air defence positions in the Kursk region and claimed on both occasions either one or two missiles reached their targets, while most were shot down. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/nov/26/russia-ukraine-war-live-record-russian-drones-ukraine-kyiv-nato
The vast majority continue to believe everything the established media says without thinking about it. That's true. My impression, however, is that the Corona story has "woken up" some people and they have started to develop critical thinking. Sometimes these people now believe every word the "alternative" media says. But you should always try to think and question things for yourself. The alternative media are certainly usually closer to the truth than the mainstream, but critical thinking is also necessary here. Overall, this is an example of how God can create good out of evil (Corona). In the alternative media scene, many people have become seekers of the truth in the spiritual realm through their search for the truth behind earthly events. Some people are stuck in esoteric ideas, but people are starting to think about the meaning of life again. And quite a lot of them have ended up with the Bible and Jesus, even if the interpretations are sometimes far from the Catholic truth. At least.
Where are the possible targets? Is it possible they will hit some target outside of the Ukraine this time?
Not yet, I think. Western military analysts like Macgregor say so. I interpret an article on Russia Today more or less as confirmation. It speaks, among other things, of "preemptive strikes against...transport logistics, including railway hubs, ports and airfields that can be used to move troops to our borders." It will probably not be the military centers in Poland or other NATO countries, at least not yet. But we are not very far from that. But since the Russians also say that they "pass on information about our missile launches to the American side in advance and at the same time stipulate that these weapons will hit targets east of the Prime Meridian, i.e. will not threaten US territory", I personally assume that if this advance warning is issued with a time ultimatum, then negotiations will take place. And yet it remains conceivable that the US side will continue to escalate, as military analyses from both the Western and Russian sides speak of the "battlefield Europe". The USA itself would therefore not be affected.
This has now been completely debunked I believe. Col. Macgregor calls it a “gargantuan lie”. The Russians have won the war. They don’t need North Korean troops but even if there were North Koreans fighting in Russia what’s wrong with that? They have a mutual defense pact.
