most / majority of Americans would be completely disgusted if they knew the truth.

IF this is true, big if I hope: the involvement of people who have a US military designation does not mean that they are under the chain of command. There is such a thing as "Sheep Dipping", the CIA term for giving an agent, or even a CIA-hired mercenary "former" special forces, a fraudulent US military title so they can be called a US officer though in reality they are CIA. I insist that the CIA has never been a loyal US agency subordinate to the president but always it has been a private company in the service of its clientele who are and always have been a shifting and shadowy oligarchy among the international richest of the rich, those who own the world's central banks. The origin of the CIA goes back to the 1942 OSS and its alliance with international organized crime, especially drug crime and smuggling in general (including trading in children); the CIA still reflects this origin. It may play at supporting liberal-left or conservative right. But in essence the "operations" division with its criminal associations is not neutral; they come from a fascist orientation (corporatism, remember?) and they have always been essentially Nazi. At least ever since Alan Dulles rescued Reinhard Gehlen and made him head of NATO Intelligence the Nazi character of the CIA has been an ongoing tradition – not that the non-ops part of the CIA is aware of this. Ray McGovern and Susan Lindauer and personnel like them are certainly not drug running Nazis. It has to be understood that any Intelligence org or any secret society has to have a public face of sincere and legitimate people, people who don't know anything about the nefarious doings of the higher ups.

I go on too long as usual. But all I mean is that the US military is not monolithic. Especially now the US armed forces are probably as divided and near mutiny as they were in 1973, or worse. The actions of somebody with a US military designation, especially spotting artillery for a country at war with Russia (!!!???) does not in any wise indicate that they are acting under the orders of the US army or the DOD much less President Biden. The Pentagon may be full of crazies but playing games with the danger of nuclear war? Now when it's Not 1962? I hope to God we can doubt the hell out of this.

Russians shot down 6 helicopters? First they claim 2, then 3, now suddenly 6? They can't even get their stories straight.

Also, the dude was in Izmir being photographed and witnessed, at the same time as commanding forces in a different country; quite a spectacular feat!

So are you a Russian bot, or did you just forget to use google?

The Woke US military tripping over their knickers yet again. Sad on the one hand; discouraging on the other. The whole DOD needs a mountain retreat where they can hold workshops and seminars.

I am really baffled how these rats can use the same tactics to destabilize the world over and over again.

The French OMacron has been contacting Putin for more than a week now, trying to create an evacuation corridor in Mariupol which was suspicious. It actually turns out that there were many French DGSE agents fighting in the city and in less than 2 days, oMacron's popularity is in the toilet 5 days before the presidential election. The surprise here to me is that Gen. Cloutier is of French origin too. Coincidence?

Now, this coincides exactly with what happened in Syria in 2015.

After 4 years of siege of Aleppo occupied by "rebels --- i.e western special forces!!"

Russia entered the war by launching a salvo of cruise missiles from the Caspian Sea into Western Syria near the Turkish border 1,700Km from the Caspian Sea.

If you look at the map, the target was not Aleppo but a border city between Syrian and Turkey. For 2 days, I heard Radio France Internationale (French Pravda) cursing Putin for killing civilians in West Syria in lieu of attacking militants in Aleppo. Guess who was actually at the target site?

French DGSE, Israeli MOSSAD, Turkish, UK MI6, CIA, Qatari, Saudi agents, etc.. in charge of training and supplying the Aleppo "rebels" from Turkey.....

Here you have it again!!!
