Counter-Currents
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin
1,742 words
We are now nearly a year into Senile Joe’s presidency, and something highly alarming has already happened: America has lost its power to deter. “Deterrence,” writes Victor Davis Hanson, “is the ancient ability to scare somebody off from hurting you, your friends, or your interests — without a major war.”
The Russians — not “the Russians” who hack elections, but the real live sons of Czar Alexander’s valiant army — are carrying out considerable military activity in Eastern Europe. This action appears to be the coordinated workings of a well-led, well-oiled Russian military apparatus. It has all the makings of a big disaster.
Should it become a disaster, the lion’s share of the blame needs to rest firmly on America’s organized Jewish community, the American media, the Democratic Party, and the Biden regime.
Russian strategic moves
Victor Davis Hanson goes on to write, “[Deterrence is] an easily understood concept in the abstract. But [it] still remains a mystical quality in the concrete since it is only acquired with difficulty and yet easily forfeited.” It is clear that in Ukraine at least, the United States and NATO have failed to achieve deterrence. Let’s look at what Russia has done to actively shape the diplomatic and strategic environment in Eastern Europe.
Shortly after Senile Joe usurped the presidency, there was a cyber-attack on a major American pipeline that the US government was unable to prevent or undo. To clear up the mess, the Biden regime ceased blocking development of the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline that will deliver oil directly from Russia to Germany. If one takes the perspective of a NATO/EU supporter, this was a diplomatic train-wreck. The Nord Stream 2 Pipeline deal is analogous to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact or the earlier partitioning of Poland in 1795. Russia has now won over Germany, to a degree. This is to Poland’s detriment.
The government of Belarus, which is allied with Russia, has threatened Poland with Greenmarchers. Belarus has gathered thousands of Third World migrants and massed them along the border. Johannes Scharf ably documented Belarus’ staging of sub-Saharan Congoids for this move for Counter-Currents last month.
These Greenmarchers are now a genuine threat, and British and Polish troops are hastily building fences and barriers to prevent a brown tide from overwhelming the eastern borders of the European Union. At the same time, Russian military assets are massing near Ukraine.
The American loss of deterrence, part 1: the Jewish Deep State
America’s negative impact on this sordid mess starts when its government allowed NATO to expand into Eastern Europe. While it is certainly in the interests of Germany to be in alliance with Poland and the other parts of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is most certainly irrelevant at best to NATO’s key backer, the United States. For America, the further east into Europe the alliance goes, the greater the danger and the fewer the benefits.
The next problem is the utter disconnect between the American foreign policy establishment’s designs in Eastern Europe and the interests of Americans — white Americans in particular.
To put it plainly, there are too many ethnonationalist Jews in the American foreign policy establishment. These ethnonationalist Jews are motivated to use American resources against Russia out of a sense of tribal grievance. It is not unreasonable to presume that many of them think that they are avenging the Russians for the pogroms in the musical Fiddler on the Roof.
Quite possibly nothing could have led to a loss of deterrence in Eastern Europe more than the first impeachment of Donald Trump. The entire affair was a Jewish-driven optics disaster of sneering and contempt alongside demonstrated disloyalty on the part of a Jewish active-duty military officer. At the end of the impeachment proceedings, Trump lost no supporters, the Ukrainian government was shown to be corrupt and dysfunctional, the Biden family looked like crooks, and the Deep State looked like self-absorbed fools.
The most significant event to come from the first impeachment was a considerable unraveling of the relationship between American Evangelical Protestants and Jews. Florida Pastor Rick Wiles called the impeachment a “Jew coup.” This is a remarkable development that has begun to overturn decades of philo-Semitism in American Christianity.
The American loss of deterrence, part 2: Joe Biden
You can buy Greg Johnson’s The Year America Died here.
Without a doubt, the Biden administration sustained a considerable wound on election night. The vote was obviously rigged. That fact is now part of the national conversation. This was mentioned in a syndicated Associated Press article after the 2021 off-year elections:
Election experts say even a smooth election cycle [in 2021] is unlikely to curb the distrust that has built up over the last year within a segment of the public. That skepticism has led to costly and time-consuming partisan ballot reviews, threats to election officials and new voting restrictions in Republican-controlled states.
Besides Biden’s electoral illegitimacy is his obvious physical and mental decline. The Russians moved into Eastern Europe in the wake of a calamitous presidential visit to Europe. Biden fell asleep at an inappropriate time during a summit and then cut a “long fart” during a conversation with British royal Camilla Parker Bowles, the Duchess of Cornwall.
The fact that this fart story is out there at all is significant. Breaking wind is a normal human activity and shouldn’t be newsworthy. Additionally, British royals are very careful in their statements. The fact that Camilla Parker Bowles said anything about it is likely a deliberate hint on the Royal Family’s part that things are amiss with Senile Joe. After the “long fart” incident, rumors swirled that the President had accidently defecated in his pants during a visit with the Pope. For a time in November 2021, “Poopy Pants Biden” trended on Twitter. The suspicion that Biden isn’t up for the job continues to build.
All of this occurs in the teeth of popular hostility towards Biden. Everywhere in America the President goes, he is met by hundreds of ordinary Americans holding vulgar anti-Biden signs and flags. Even sporting events have massive audiences chanting anti-Biden slogans. Should there be a disaster, it is highly unlikely that the public will “rally” to support this Chief Executive. Senile Joe has little possibility of being George W. Bush on September 12, 2001.
The American loss of deterrence, part 3: the woke military
In the mid-1990s, just after the US Navy allowed women to serve at sea, I read a book (whose title I cannot remember) that argued it was only a matter of time before America lost a big war. The problem, the author argued, was that the structure that was now allowing women aboard combat ships had created intractable problems with military readiness and negative ripples that expanded outwards from there.
In the 1990s, US Navy ships became “love boats.” While there was plenty of consensual sex, there was also rape. Managing the sexual escapades became an issue. No major problems materialized in the 1990s, but by 2020, the rot had become noticeable. The USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) caught fire on July 12, 2020. The crew first failed to notice that there was a fire, then failed to sound an alarm or fight the fire, and finally called the local fire department after the blaze was out of control. The alleged cause of the fire was an arson incident motivated by sexual jealousy among a junior enlisted member of the crew.
Then, Kabul fell in August 2021. In a matter of days, the Taliban undid the work of two decades of American and NATO involvement and capture billions in military equipment.
The root causes of Kabul’s fall began long before 2021, and were present even on 9/11. The same institutions that turned the Navy into the mediocre force it is today were put in place as early as the Eisenhower administration, when the Pentagon created the integrated service. African pathology cases now wear stripes — lots of stripes — and there is a culture of lying, fluff, and crime. Nobody could fix things in Afghanistan, because nobody can criticize sub-Saharan pathology.
Then, of course, the US Army failed to suppress the antifa/BLM riots and conducted a purge of anyone who criticized the Department of Defense’s woke policies. And then there was the appointment of Lloyd Austin as Secretary of Defense. He looks like Idi Amin, the foolish African who led Uganda poorly in its first years after decolonization. While this criticism might seem unfair, appearances matter, and in serious issues, the old ways still apply. It comes down to the demonstration of a lack of judgment. Furthermore, Austin is so intertwined in the “civil rights” narrative that he cannot possibly make reforms that will cause merit to matter again or suppress the next Congoid rebellion.
Ukraine: reckless, corrupt, & unstable
Another part of the problem is that the Ukrainian government is corrupt, and from my perspective, is making very poor choices. The polity is divided between Ukrainians in the west and Russians in the east. One would think that the Ukrainian government would cut a deal with Russia and sell the areas where Russians live to Russia. The 1920 plebiscite in Schleswig-Holstein divided that territory between the Danes and Germans; as a result, the simmering tensions that had plagued the region in the nineteenth century evaporated. One would also think that the Ukrainian government would have used their connections to put the brakes on a bunch of Jews impeaching Trump over an issue Americans don’t care about, on the whole.
One would also think that they would consider some sort of direct-to-America charm offensive rather than have foreign Deep State scolds like Marie Yovanovitch alienate half of America by arguing for Ukrainian interests at an impeachment trial. Why haven’t the Ukrainians made a solid case for US involvement in their defense?
The answer is that they have no case. The nation is corrupt, far off, and crime-ridden. It’s so bad that bandits shoot up farmsteads there. It is also something of a commercial rival. Should its agribusiness become fully developed, its production may very well put every farmer out of business from Saskatchewan to south Texas. No member of the American majority has any obligation to Ukraine.
Should the Ukrainians get some sort of Russian whipping, I won’t care. I’d love to see Marie Yovanovitch, Alexander Vindman, and Adam Schiff cry over such Ukrainian troubles. Unfortunately, the tears of Ukraine’s Jewish supporters don’t equal the loss of the ability to deter. America is certainly not defenseless, but plenty of people are now willing to test its defenses. We are in for some tough days.

This is just normal everyday deception by the Jews.
This is what they do. They love to see White People killing each other, one way or another. They love to see us hating each other. This is standard Jewish behaviour.
Create hate, create confusion, right now create endless debt, slave White countries with debt. Make White countries poor, dirt poor, create ghettos (look at you streets in California, just simply a Hell). They love to see us poor, hopeless, with a dystopian future.
Russia? They control it already, but right now they want to divide White People, to West and East, and for Easterners to hate Westerners, and vice versa. Traditional, standard Jewish formula.
In fact, they rather have us poor, even if it means a bit less riches for them. You see, they do not see the world that way. They give no value for the common good. No, the calculate everything relatively. As they are rich, it makes no difference if we are all poorer, it is actually better that way as then we Whites are so poor and desperate that we are no threat anymore, we just beg for something to feed our children. They like relative riches. They are very rich, and we are very poor. That is a dream come true, for the Jews.
So, make no mistake, they love Russia as it is, they want us to fight our own brethren. They would love to watch from Israel that war, as long as they feel safe themselves. And there is the question: Can they feel safe? I dare say, that is the question, my friends. Are they safe?
A few remarks. (1) Record numbers of migrants continue to enter the UK — see https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-59257107 — and yet the UK sends troops to defend the Polish border against the Belarus-inspired “migrant crisis.” (2) Russia wrested control of Crimea in 1783 after centuries of struggle against the Turks, and then Khrushchev donated the region to the Ukraine for reasons that remain obscure. As van de Camp argues, the Ukraine should be peacefully partitioned, with the ethnically Russian areas united with Russia. However, we should not fret if Ukraine eventually becomes a major agricultural producer. Russia already rivals the French for their cheese. In truth, the USA should not be the breadbasket of the world. We should produce less food, but of higher quality, and consume ever more of it ourselves. Every nation should strive to be as self-sufficient as possible, in agriculture as well as industry. This is how nations and peoples develop. (3) Any rational US foreign policy would seek to peel Russia away from China, much as Nixon separated Red China from the USSR. That our elites have driven Russia into the arms of China for the past 30 years speaks only to their madness and treachery. Russia can easily prevail in any conflict in Eastern Europe, and China would likely prevail in the China Sea. Simultaneous war in both theaters will lead to the decisive defeat of the US, especially as our military is compromised by the vax mandate, and the wider society lacks cohesion. Who wants to fight and die for the Uncle Sam anymore? Or do the elites imagine that war can be completely technologized?
Chinese high technology, especially in the realm of genetic engineering, hypersonic missiles, and quantum computers may pose a serious risk to us, the general public. The deep ethical ambiguity of Chinese society combined with godlike power beyond our comprehension is very concerning. And the Chinese are emboldened by the absurd illegitimate Biden administration, who was accurately dubbed ‘Beijing Biden’ by Trump, the man who won the white vote by a 17 point spread in 2020. And while we’re talking about external threats, Mexico is America’s true bete noire, an absurdly violent degenerate society funneling deadly poison to our streets, as well as 1.66 million migrants in 12 months. But even more serious than these external threats is the internal rot of urban black violence, and above all this ridiculous virus hoax. All these measures ostensibly to protect the elderly from the flu, and no thought for the hopeless young dying of overdose and suicide. The emerging machinations of what is obviously a transhumanist new world order should concern everyone.
First Biden crapped himself in the Vatican and now he’s cut the cheese in front of England’s next Queen. It’s a measure of how far we’ve fallen that American Diplomacy used to have the Long Telegram but now it has the Long Fart. Like Biden’s flatulence America’s precipitous decline has been long and loud—and impossible to ignore
Th U.S. can only be reformed after big military defeats, voting doesn’t work. Vietnam and Afghanistan weren’t U.S. defeats although that is the popular perception.
N. Vietnam was forced to sign the Paris Peace Accords in Jan. 1973 because of Pres. Nixon’s bombing campaign and blockade against N. Vietnam as well as N. Vietnam’s battlefield defeat in S. Vietnam after their Spring 1972 invasion. They took a big military gamble and lost similar to Hitler’s Dec. 1944 ‘Battle of the Bulge’ disaster. The U.S. public was tired of the war and Congress abandoned S. Vietnam after Nixon was mired in Watergate. Saigon fell in May 1975, more than three years after the last U.S. troops left.
Afghanistan was also abandoned after twenty years of war but there were no U.S. or NATO defeats, the public just was sick of the stupid war. The Taliban or other factions never came close to defeating U.S. military forces, seizing Kabul or dictating terms. Senile Joe just issued orders: GTFO and that was that. Too bad he allowed Afghans along for the ride.
A defeat in the Western Pacific over Taiwan will be a real defeat causing the U.S. to lose real battles like at the beginning of WWII or Korea and then accept China’s terms, like it or not. In Ukraine a quasi-ally would be engulfed by Russia without much combat, it would be a fait accompli for the West. If Russia stayed out of the Baltics and Poland there would just be useless huffing from the U.S. Government, nothing else.
If Russia were to occupy Ukraine it would probably trigger China to seize Taiwan the way China attacked India in Oct. 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Both China and Russia are clear eyed about the situation and don’t want to trigger nuclear war thus their pursuit of limited, achievable, domestically popular goals.
A U.S. defeat would completely delegitimise the U.S. Government. There would be massive popular opposition to conscription which would fall most heavily upon Whites of course. The foolishness, gross incompetence and mortal danger of the current regime would be manifest. Military defeats always lead to big changes in the ruling caste, governments are not supposed to lose wars.
At this point even a big military defeat would be unlikely to fuel much overhaul. The United States is a has-been country.
Let’s hope America also loses its power to deter Europe from becoming nationalist.
The current tensions with Russia come down to an intra-Jewish, Russian-American, rivalry meant as theater. While our government may for the most part be run by Jews, Putin himself is Jewish and 80% of his loyal oligarchs share his tribal affiliation.
That said, Biden and Putin really do hate each other and so should Russia one day absorb part of eastern Ukraine, Biden would feel compelled to at least bomb in response. Trump was a solid bulwark towards a more realistic evolution of the political situation in that part of the world, even if he only favored the “rational Jews”.
I’ve read in various places that Putin’s mother was Jewish, but is this a definite fact?
I hope the US does lose, it will encourage white nationalist forces in western nations to fight back.
Truly “The Fart Heard Round the World!”
Will this fart trigger a revolution like the “Shot Heard Round the World”? This was Concord, Massachusetts, Apr 19, 1775, not the baseball one which is the top one listed by Google. Only time will tell.
The effects of the Afghanistan withdrawal are truly momentous as is Floyd Austin’s decision to stand the entire military down for a month to concentrate on “Diversity Training”.
BTW, Counter-Currents, your link to “The Fart” contains no mp3 file of the actual fart noise itself.
In a war that pits Russia against Ukraine, whites killing whites would not occur to the degree one might fear it would since the Russian armed forces would walk over Ukraine’s at least at the current point of time. Russia, right now, has an overwhelming advantage in terms of conventional firepower, electronic jamming capabilities, hypersonic missiles, cyber warfare, and anti-aircraft capabilities. Thousands of Ukrainians would get killed, and a considerable number of Russians too, but then it would be over. Nothing like the major wars of the 20th century. Putin sees it and that’s why he is maneuvering in the way he does. The Russian advantage will be gone once the West has closed the electronic warfare and hypersonic missile gaps. Putin’s real problems right now, jew or not, are not situated in the military sphere. Real problem no. 1, he must convince the Russian people to go to war. It couldn’t be done without hundreds or thousands of casualties, and the Russians loathe that. It showed already during the initial flare-up in 2014/15, when a few dozen or maybe a few hundred casualties were incurred among soldiers that had been sent to Eastern Ukraine covertly. There were considerable misgivings, and families had to be silenced by a combination pf pressure and paying blood money. Real problem no. 2, while winning the war would be relatively easy if the armed forces were motivated to fight, then what? Winning the peace would be the really difficult part. Occupying large parts of Ukraine, rebuilding them, dealing with a sure-to-come insurrection, staving off sanctions, and confronting what the West has to offer in terms of militarizing what will be left over of Ukraine, that’s what Putin really has to worry about apart from how to go to war in the first place. Maybe he would prefer not to all things considered, but the West may still force his hand. The reasoning in Western circles might be that Ukraine in its current form presents too much of a burden. So why not give part of it to the Russians to let them choke to death on it, while letting the rest join NATO? A similar strategy was perhaps in already play with respect to the whole of Afghanistan and the Taliban.
