Pentagon officials say they don’t yet know whether a Russian fighter jet intended to collide with a U.S. drone, forcing it to crash down into the Black Sea.

It almost looks as though the drone incident with Russia was staged in order to get people to start demanding deescalation.
RT:
The US is weighing the benefits and risks of drone flights over the Black Sea after losing an unmanned aircraft there while being chased by Russian interceptors, CNN reported on Thursday, citing sources.
On Tuesday, Washington claimed that two Russian Su-27 fighters dumped fuel on a MQ-9 Reaper drone conducting a reconnaissance flight in the area, with one jet later colliding with the US aircraft.
Moscow’s Ministry of Defense, however, dismissed the accusation, insisting that its interceptors had neither come into contact with the Reaper nor fired a weapon, saying that the drone crashed due to “sharp maneuvers.”
Several officials have told CNN that the US is now “weighing the costs and benefits” of further drone operations. At the same time, Washington has not entirely halted flights while the review is underway, the report says, and another Reaper was sent to monitor Russian forces searching for the debris.
I don’t know if the US is going to deescalate the situation in the Ukraine. I am not a wizard and never claimed to be some kind of predictor. Sometimes my critics act like I did that, but I’ve never claimed to be a predictor. I’ve always just looked at the information, and said what the possibilities are, and I always give multiple possibilities.
Right now, there are people in Washington – powerful people – saying that because the Russian economy did not collapse as a result of Western pressure, and because Russia has not really had too much difficulty militarily repelling the full might of NATO, that the situation is FUBAR and that it’s just a waste of resources.
The battle for #Bakhmut continues. Ukraine is keeping Russian forces in this city and inflicting very heavy losses on the Wagner Group and Russian regular military personnel, said Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States. “#Ukraine remains strong” pic.twitter.com/esE0ZBv6op

We always hear about the $100 billion dumped on the Ukraine, but the total value of the amount of weapons and training could be ten times that, and it is clear that this is going to be the cost every year that the US continues this war.
So a lot of people are saying “we need to roll this back so we have the resources for a war (probably cold) with China.” Personally, I think those people will win the debate, and we will see some kind of strategic scaling down of the war in the Ukraine, where the Ukraine forces pull back to the river and then just harass Russia by bombing random apartment buildings, vacation spots, and arts festivals. That would not be a full surrender, of course, but it would scale it back to something a lot different than what is happening now, where the State Department is saying the Ukraine is going to invade Russia proper and take Crimea.
“Bakhmut” is finished now, and the Zelensky regime is using it just as a way to kill off Ukrainian men. There is no possible way there will be a victory there, and that means Russia is going to be able to make an absolute push to the river.
It seems that this is the logical time to say “okay well, we’re just making the river our front line now.” Russia doesn’t want to cross the river, so it could just be a stalemate, indefinitely. The US does not have to order any kind of surrender, and they can keep saying they are going to fight back at some indeterminate point in the future.
Of course, Victoria Nuland and the other uber aggressive anti-Russia Jews could win the debate in Washington, and we could see yet another escalation. However, it is now proved that the only way the Ukraine is going to win the war and fully expel Russia is if NATO actually invades the Ukraine and fights the Russians directly, using their full forces. This would probably result in China taking Taiwan – something which they now feel they have to do, because of US aggression and arming of the island.
A full commitment to the Ukraine would mean it would be impossible for NATO/US to respond to China.
So, that’s basically the situation.
Again: I want to make it crystal clear that I do not have a “prediction.” I think it is MOST LIKELY that the Ukraine will be scaled back. However, many of these Jews in Washington are totally fixated on Russia, and it is definitely a possibility they will win the debate in the Biden Administration.
I don’t make predictions, because I am not a wizard. I’m just telling you the facts.
Pulling the drones from the Russian border definitely would absolutely imply that they are going to scale things back. But again: a lot of these actions have made no sense, so logic is of limited use when analyzing the behaviors of the Anal Empire.
