Did Vladimir Putin Call Off Invasion in Fear of This British Lady’s Tank Commanding Skills?
Anti-Empire | December 10, 2021
The moderately elevated Russian concentration of forces opposite of Ukraine remains in place, but further escalation seems to have been averted so far.
There could be two reasons for this. One is that President Joe Biden, the head of the American Empire, has told Putin that he will look into addressing Russia’s concerns and get back to him.
The other possibility is that the Kremlin took one look at Liz Truss’ tank commanding skills and decided the Russian military didn’t stand a chance.
Visiting Estonia and the eight hundred British troops there Truss took the opportunity to ride a British Challenger II tank.
This was likened to an episode in 1986 when Margaret Thatcher rode a Challenger I in West Germany. However, at the time, Thatcher was a Prime Minister and as such was the army’s boss. The photo-op may have been a little cringy, but it was just Thatcher mingling with a bureaucracy she had jurisdiction over.
Truss meanwhile is the Foreign Secretary in charge of the British Foreign Office alone. She is not in the chain of command and has no authority over the military.
Some would even say that having precisely your chief diplomat ride around in a tank is especially tacky.
This leads us to believe the only reason Truss was allowed to do such a thing is because she is secretly an insanely skilled tank commander.
Eastern Front tank commander
Perhaps the real reason we have not seen an escalation is that the Russians feared a Truss-led spoiling attack from Estonia if they started any funny business in the south. It’s a story as old as time. An evil dictator with a massive army launches an invasion only to be defeated by a middle-aged lady in a heavy cavalry charge. I think there’s a Sabaton song just about that.
Wisely Putin held back the armies of Mordor.
Putin can only wish his chief diplomat was an equally accomplished tank commander. Instead, Sergey Lavrov’s expertise encompasses diplomacy alone.
Sergey Lavrov has never been photographed riding a tank. Lame.
In fact, Truss’ intersectional expertise stretches out into the sea. There is reason to believe she is also an expert reserve Admiral:
That should keep the Chinese deterred as well!

How GMO seeds and “RoundUp” are driving US policy in Venezuela
By Whitney Webb | MintPress News | May 6, 2019
CARACAS, VENEZUELA — As the political crisis in Venezuela has unfolded, much has been said about the Trump administration’s clear interest in the privatization and exploitation of Venezuela’s oil reserves, the largest in the world, by American oil giants like Chevron and ExxonMobil.
Yet the influence of another notorious American company, Monsanto — now a subsidiary of Bayer — has gone largely unmentioned.
While numerous other Latin American nations have become a “free for all” for the biotech company and its affiliates, Venezuela has been one of the few countries to fight Monsanto and other international agrochemical giants and win. However, since that victory — which was won under Chavista rule — the U.S.-backed Venezuelan opposition has been working to undo it. … continue

A total stud, she is. A real Jane Bond.The Russkies must be shakin’ in their boots.
The mind reels.
Picture Blinken and his electric guitar, wearing a vest like hers on the battlefield. Or both, each armed with an electric guitar. Astride a trailer with Blinken’s band, say, hitched to the presidential limo. Painted in the camoflauge colors of the Israeli flag.
And better yet, picture Kamala Harris in the driver’s seat, with an amplified connection to it all, pyrotechnical smoke wafting around Admiral Rachel Levine, combing his/her hair with an egg-beater. “Got four stars on each shoulder!”
“What’s that smoke?” a reporter shouts out to Kamala, as he’s bounced along in a flat-bed truck with fifty others. “It smells like spliff.”
“Half my family’s from Jamaica — are you kidding me?”
“Are you going to the border?” screams another.
“Not today!” Cackle, cackle, cackle. “Which direction is it, anyway?”

Great comment…..showing her up for what she is, a “WAR WHORE”…. The Ruskies are Experts at dealing with invaders…..Just ask Napoleon, and Hitler, whose armies were “Slaughtered On-Mass” by those pesky Russians…..Anyone wanting to invade Russia has a death wish.

Politicians posing for “Photo Ops” are all too common these days. And they don’t seem to be at all embarrassed by how ridiculous they look. I mean, that woman’s photo looks(and is) totally ‘staged’, but the MSM co-operate fully in the charade, helping to “sell” her agenda.
The Western MSM is pathetic.
