Just incase...


Scott Ritter discusses the responses he's received from his recent analysis:

I believe Ritter is correct about escalation - unless Russia decides it will do nothing about future provocations.

Thanks for the link. I had not seen that. Ritter makes many good points. Worth watching.

It seems to me that the "game changer" boils down a US decision to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia even though it amounts to NATO becoming in effect a co-belligerent, risking potential kinetic warfare with Russia that will involve Europe becoming a battlefield, together with the possible use of tactical nuclear weapons as the situation escalates.

I dread to think what " total war" would look like to be honest.


You have all seen the videos with pot marks all over Eastern Ukraine from the bombing.

24/7 it is like this

The special operations looks bad enough never mind " total war"


Modern warfare You have to be absolutely crazy or so, so desperate to become part of the infantry.

Foot, why did you choose the handle of Footsoldier?

A footsoldier of MMT - Spread the word and all that jazz.

On Seeking Alpha he blogs under the name "Salmo trutta". Then he shows up again as "Footsoldier" on the same site and pretends to ask questions of "Salmo" and then agrees with him, though we know that it's just him talking to himself.

In other words, Footsoldier to Salmo. Kind of like a split personality thing going on.

By the way, he fooled Brian Romanchuk commenting as Footsoldier. Brian's response is here:

I don't have time to look at this, but the person who is doing most of the posting is Salmo Trutta on Seeking Alpha? Salmo just vomits nonsense in the comments on my articles at SA; I just ignore him. I do not really care to wade through endless tracts that consist of random observations about the U.S. banking system.

Brian had no idea that he was actually talking to Salmo.

As an aside, I enjoy Footsoldier's comments here, as he's giving us a lot of insight into the whole Russia/Ukraine thing, among other things.
