NEO: What I am writing here I have been warned against. As we move toward the last full week of February 2022, we are told that the world is on the brink of war. But who believes this?
Certainly, anyone reading the Western media, you know the ones, CNN, the BBC, the Guardian, all but Fox News, keep getting the same story. If we listened, and by “we,” I mean the people of the world, we would be cowering in shelters digging holes in our backyards. No one is doing this. Thus, we can assume that no one believes there is going to be a war.
What those who do know, the few real “insiders,” is that war as we know it, or knew it, simply can’t exist.Much of America’s strength is in its navy, carrier battle groups. Today they are totally vulnerable to land-based missiles that exist “on the cheap” covering not only the Persian Gulf but the Indian Ocean as well, so far from shore that attacks on Iran are incomprehensible, well out of range for carrier-based planes.
Similarly, the Mediterranean is being patrolled by nation upon nation, but the naval balance belongs to Russia with its newly arrive Kinzhal hypersonic missiles ranging easily past Gibraltar and beyond.
