Hi Friends,

An update on the plight of Syrian Christians, particularly around the city of Aleppo.

I refer you to a fresh article, from Breitbart News, titled, 'Exclusive: Persecution Expert- Christians in Aleppo could face 'Beginning of the end' under jihadi rule'.

Here are some key takeaways:

- Aleppo can be viewed as a microcosm of greater Syria.

- The Christian population of Aleppo is now no more than 20,000. Christians now make up only 1% of Syria's population. Prior to the Syrian Civil War, Christians made up 8-10% of Syria's population.

- The Western-backed jihadists who recently took over Syria are a rebranded offshoot of al-Queda and ISIS. They are currently engaging in low-level persecution of Christians and are making noise about 'protecting religious minorities', but we should be very skeptical/wary about these claims.

While Breitbart has traditionally been anti-Assad, it openly admits that minority groups such as Christians were protected by Assad, and that their future is now uncertain at best under the rebranded jihadis ('al-Queda in suits'). At worst, they could now be facing their last days in Syria after 2,000 years, right back to the days when Jesus Himself walked the Earth.

Hello again,

Today I'll be referring you to a decent, fresh new article, titled, 'Right now NATO could not win a war with Russia'.

It's a pretty good critique of NATO, as in the very existence of NATO itself.

The author, a former military man himself, reminds us that- for all the hubris surrounding NATO- it was resoundingly defeated by the Taliban.

We are also reminded that NATO lost its reason to exist when the Berlin Wall fell, and Soviet Union collapsed. Since then, it has become a tool for anglo-American (globalist) aggression.

The writer also points out that no NATO nation currently has the industrial capacity to go toe-to-toe with Russia in a conventional war.

Logistics would be a nightmare and the only nation capable of taking on Russia militarily would be the US.

Even then, it would be complicated, messy and fraught with all kinds of difficulties and dangers (even assuming it didn't go nuclear, but that's another issue).

But even with US involvement, and if it indeed managed to stay conventional, NATO countries and their military facilities would be utterly decimated and unable to protect themselves from Russian weapons and attacks (the same obviously goes for Russia, which would also be unable to protect itself from decimation).

Furthermore, according to the author, the international aspect of NATO can make its manoeuvres and operations somewhat clunky, and its forces are not battle
-hardened the way Russia's are.

And contrary to Western/globalist hubris, NATO isn't very good at strategy (Russia is often similarly inept, but that's another issue).

The author summarises NATO's shortfalls, before correctly reminding us that NATO is no longer a force for good, and indeed causes more problems than it claims to solve.

Hi All,

You would've noticed a fair bit of commotion in the media of late around Ukraine, Trump, Putin, Zelensky, European leaders, etc.

Trump is apparently bent on forcing a ceasefire, and he should be commended for this. In fact, we ought to be praying for it. If the war is still going as you read this, it's likely that at least one young Ukrainian or Russian will die a violent death or be badly wounded while you're reading this post.

No-one knows the real casualty figures, but my best educated guess would be that well over half-a-million Ukrainians have been killed in this war. The number on the Russian side is probably between 100,000-200,000.

And for every death, several are wounded. Who wouldn't want this to end? Putin is unfazed. He has plenty of blood on his hands going back the last quarter of a century. But at least he's willing to negotiate on this.

This is more than what can be said for Zelensky and his globalist/Western backers.

Zelensky appears to be utterly disinterested in peace, and is appearing more and more delusional. The creepy, obviously deviate European leaders are also fully pro-war and stand behind Zelensky.

Moreover, the globalist/Military-industrial complex Establishment media is largely backing the pro-war stance of Zelensky and the Euro/pedo philes.

The truth is, while the war has largely been a stalemated war of attrition, it is looking worse and worse for Ukraine and its backers, who refuse to see reality.

They cannot win, but continue to reject peace initiative after peace initiative, digging Ukraine deeper and deeper into the abyss.

Of course, it is not Zelensky or his creepy globalist backers who are getting maimed and killed. No, it's the youth of Ukraine and Russia.

Trump, for all of his faults, wants to put a stop to this.

Link to a new article which is related to this topic, by Daniel Davis, has been published at the military news site '1945'.

The title is, 'Could Ukraine have avoided war with Russia?'
