Behind The Spider’s Web

Volodymyr Zelensky is on pig’s back, oinking over Operation ‘Spider’s Web. According to him, 117 drones were used in the operation with a corresponding number of drone operators involved. 34% of the Russian strategic cruise missile carriers stationed at air bases were hit. The drone attack supposedly destroyed or damaged over 40 strategic bombers, including Tu-95s, Tu-22s, and A-50 early-warning aircraft; impacting approximately 34% of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet with damages estimated at USD 7 billion.

First, this is not a war between Ukraine and Russia, but a war waged by US-led NATO against Russia. How Moscow was forced to launch special operations in Ukraine by posing an existential threat to Russia, was covered in these columns earlier. Ukraine is NATO’s proxy and Zelensky, running a cheap porn-comedy show and having dodged four summons for military registration, was picked up and installed as Ukraine’s President to play prostitute for US-NATO (https://www.thestrategicperspective.org/op-eds/the-high-heeled-coot/). 

Spider’s Web was a NATO operation (not Ukrainian) with full knowledge of the CIA – read the US, with Zelensky’s using Western  intelligence and support. Selecting targets was easy for putrid brains because strategic nuclear bombers of Russia and America must be visible to satellites under nuclear agreements. Indications are that Ukraine used satellite communications to deploy ArduPilot FPVs drones.

The attack has negated all nuclear agreements and the fact that NATO-EU is applauding it and the US not condemning it, proves collective complicity in the attack. US Senator Richard Blumenthal is euphoric – same as Britain’s Boris Johnson, latter having sabotaged a Russia-Ukraine peace agreement within three months of hostilities having broken out in February 2022.  Cancellation of nuclear agreements don’t bother the West because China doesn’t adhere to any such agreement and START is a bilateral Russia-US treaty. But by using Zelensky, the US-NATO has avoided direct blame for crossing Russia’s nuclear redline. Earlier also, Zelensky attacked the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (under Russian control since 2022) and tried to blame Russia for the same.

Detailing America using Israel to wage Middle East wars, Jeffrey Sachs explains how global wars are planned in the US. The Joe Biden administration wanted a Russia-Europe war. Does Donald Trump want the same – to deplete Russia’s nuclear capability till his USD 175 billion ‘Golden Dome’ becomes operational by January 2029? Michael Flynn, who earlier had exposed US complicity in the rise of ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra, now says that the American Deep State is acting outside the control of the Trump Administration. If this is the case, then Trump, who calls Biden a “Robot Clone”, is himself Biden 2.0 – only allowed to make money for America and himself while playing the façade of truce in Ukraine and Gaza? Using Trump’s own phrase, has Trump been reduced to kissing the arse of the Deep State?

With dwindling weapons, collapsing morale, and no strategic gains, Zelensky is trying desperately for leverage knowing the limited traction his peace terms are likely to get. Ukraine is in ICU but Zelensky is hell bent upon precipitating a war involving his principal European backers like Ursula von der Leyen, Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz and Emmanuel Macron, plus continued US support having signed a MoU with Trump for rare earth minerals. But half-true visuals of Spider’s Web will unlikely change the war’s trajectory or bolster his negotiating hand.

From his porn-comedy days, Zelensky is adept in optics and lies. The presidency has enhanced his immorality and corruption; now owning multiple properties abroad, including a villa in Italy. So, he struts around in the same T-shirt high on narcotics or Xenon. No surprise he is spreading AI generated fakes in a desperate attempt to manufacture victories, while every day there is less and less of Ukraine left to negotiate. According to one post, five Tu-95 strategic bombers plus one transporter were destroyed. The attack on only two bases succeeded and the other two failed. 

The first official Russian response to Spider’s Web came from Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, who said, “To everyone who is worried and waiting… Retribution is inevitable… our Army is pushing forward. Everything that needs to be blown up will be blown up, and those who must be eliminated will be. The Istanbul talks are not for striking a compromise peace on someone else's delusional terms but for ensuring our swift victory and the complete destruction of the neo-Nazi regime”. President Putin has said by attacking air bases having Russian strategic bombers, Ukraine has proved there can be no peace and there is no red line 

NATO and EU are applauding Spider’s Web and supporting Zelensky. Keir Starmer, posing in military uniform, with Britain’s economy slowing but his pockets jingling with the Chagos Island deal, has declared militarization of the UK; adding 16 submarines to the weakest military in Europe and the single aircraft carrier that periodically lands up in sick bay. Starmer’s argument is that he wants to “close the gap” – which one? Surprisingly, he hasn’t got himself photographed crawling and lobbing grenades, like Boris Johnson was doing. Starmer’s antics apparently are to beat France in the race to lead NATO. Macron can’t stop hugging-kissing Zelensky publicly like a homosexual, unmindful of the French IFRI report that the French Air Force would only be able to sustain operations for three days in a full-scale conflict with Russia. Militarization of NATO is being speeded up with big rise in defence budgets. Macron’s public rating has gone up with his wife slapping him and Trump giving him some marital advice. 

The US has the largest population of Jews in the world; estimated at 10 million compared to 9 million in Israel. The Trump Administration is going hammer and tongs against anti-Semitism. But the US ignored the six-million Jews killed in World War II and the war’s immediate aftermath posted Hitler’s Nazi officers at the core of NATO; including Hans Speidel (part of Hitler’s invasions of Poland-France-Soviet Union) and Eberhard Taubert who worked with Goebbels  (https://news4masses.com/white-taliban-organization-wto/). This gave rise to the new race of neo-Nazis, which can be seen across NATO. Nazis and neo-Nazis must avenge the suicide of Adolf Hitler when Russians entered Berlin. Now Annalena Baerbock, former German foreign minister and grand-daughter of a Nazi officer, who adores the Zelensky regime, is elected president of the 80th session of UNGA. How is that for anti-Semitism and impartiality in UNGA although the UN has   already degenerated into the erstwhile League of Nations. 

Trump has posted on his ‘Truth Social’ portal that he had a long telephone chat with Putin after Zelensky’s Spider Web, and that Putin told him he would be responding to the drone attack. The notable issue is that Trump has NOT condemned Zelensky attacking Russia’s strategic bombers; implying he knew about the attack and is comfortable with indirectly withdrawing from the START Treaty. The START Treaty was the thin line stopping World War III, which Zelensky has erased with western backing.

Putin has been saying that Russia is not a threat to Europe. However, when Friedrich Merz hinted that he would supply Taurus missiles to Kiev. Putin warned that the source from where these missiles came from will be hit. Trump’s googly of inviting Putin and Zelensky for talks is now dead – Trump should realize that Zelensky (prostituting for the US and NATO) must be removed   before any semblance of ceasefire can be progressed. The world is now sitting on a powder keg and the key lies with America’s Deep State – be it a NATO-Russia War or US-Israel war on Iran. According to Deepak Chopra, Trump thinks with his penis. So, it is very difficult to predict what his next action or move will be, especially if he is playing pooch to the Deep State, wilfully or under pressure.
