PAUL’S DEFENSE BRIEF (PDB) – North Korean troops likely to join the Ukraine war, a step he warned could expand the conflict.
Or it just did. North Korean missile launched on lofted trajectory could be a new and more powerful solid-fueled ballistic missile.
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY – Here’s a roundup of today’s other top defense stories ending the week from conservative national security expert PAUL CRESPO.
Not the President’s Daily Brief, but almost as good – PAUL’S DEFENSE BRIEFING – the PDB:
NATIONAL SECURITY

WILL NORTH KOREA PROVIDE THE SPARK FOR WWIII?
NO – OBAMA-NULAND-BIDEN HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT WITH THEIR UKRAINE SPARK!
AND HEROD-NETANYAHU WILL DO THE REST – IF NO ONE STOPS HIM! (he has the Hitler drive)
IS IT THE SAME CRUEL GAME?
Ukrainian GENOCIDE
[Old Slavic land if tribes formed into bigger units of the ‘RUS’ (oar) by Vikings, around 600AD and forming states along rivers Dnepr and Volga – inviting Greek monks to bring Christ and Slav language writing, own Russian culture, evolving first from the Kievan RUS as its cradle.
1000-1200: Mongol Invaders – then, near Dnepr, from Baltic to Back Sea Poles, until 1700: RUS people SERFS, Poles MASTERS whose language rules the land “at the edge” = U KRAYA – -but Orthodox Cristianity survived!
Then, near 1600, the Volga-RUS stood up, under Ivan IV, moved down the Volga, and up Don and Donez – joined by Krymeans fighting Turk occupiers. And the Dnepr RUS is liberated from Polish yoke. – UNTIL:
1918: A new “country” is founded where once an old one had been: ‘Ukraina’
There were several Peoples: West Russians, Russians, Poles, Jews and
in border areas Rumanians, Hungarians, Greeks, Slovaks, and Roma.
A foreign power dictates who “owns” all: German occupation of WWII.
The problem arising: Ultra-Nationalism used by Foreign Interests!
1918: German Army holding back Soviets, until 1922, esp. DonBass
-but Poland not restored through Ukrainian theft of Galicia, Volhynia
– allowing the following first Ethnic Cleansing in these Polish regions.
Rising influence of Italo-Croat Fascism with Bandera, Stetsko, OUN.
1942-44 German Occupation again –this time with Ukrainian SS troops
massive Genocide, Expulsion and Holocaust in former Polish regions.
But DonBass RESCUED BY STALINGRAD!
Post WWII, Soviets knew workers, tongues and customs – but not ‘Nations’ – -but with Soviet end, Old Arrogance and “Übermenschen” like Bandera were re-awakened:
“Subhumans, Moskuvites (Russians), Kikes (Jews)” “unclean and unworthy to live – but the “people AT THE EDGE” EDGECEPTIONAL.
And so, in 2014, followed Maidan Mass Murder, Odessa and Korsun – and many more, until the Russian regions voted and declared INDEPENDENCE – which Kiew answered with CIVIL WAR. For 8 YEARS.
The main reason here was that Trump had become US President and tried to calm down the many wars of Obama’s “Peace Nobel Prize” – in Middle East, Africa, AND Pres. Putin did the same.
Only when Obama’s Deputy Puppet succeeded him and had increased the bombs and artillery against Donetsk and Luhansk to 14,000 deaths, that the Russian Army saw this as a GENOCIDAL ATTACK ON THEIR RELATIVES, the Ethnic Russians of DONBASS.
Let us be frank:
WITHOUT OBAMA AND THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL CMOMPLEX,
THIS WAR WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED!
MOST WARS WE’VE SEEN LATELY WERE PROXY!
It was Europe getting a sense of Freedom in a RICH FUTURE –
FREEDOM AND RICHES WITHOUT “BIG BROTHER” ACROSS THE SEA:
It was the fear of A NEW WORLD POWER FROM EIRE TO KAMCHATKA
Palestine GENOCIDE
[Old land of Sumerians, Assyriens, Hittites, Phenicians –and Immigrants who came twice: from 2-Rivers and from the Nile: each time not letting anyone live. – first only all males, then, “No Man Woman, or Child!”]
Much movement went on in Levante, between Egypt and Babylon, and a small herder tribe that rebelled against the “World Power” of its time had twice its ruling priests and statehood removed, last for 1900 years
1948: A new “country” is founded where once had also been: ‘Israel’
There had been several Peoples, an old migrating cauldron of Levante:
– A mix of Arabs, Persians, Jews, – then immigrating en masse.
Foreign powers dictated who “owned” it all: USA, Britain, France
– ex WWII, problem arising: Ultra-Nationalism and Foreign Interests:
-PROXY around the world !
1948: UN Land Title granted to Jewish claims – more religious than historical – mostly on pressure from US-Jewry and US interest in replacing British colonial controls, esp. oil-rich Mid East ‘bridgehead’.
Rising Nationalism with Ben Gurion, Begin, Hagana, Irgun – heavily armed by West – for Arab side, only small volunteer units from: Egypt, Iraq, Syria.
– Ben Gurion’s “Clearance of regions” soon ‘Ethnic Cleansing’ “unclean
people” again- though not as bad as in Genesis 34 or Post-Exodus.
Land Title far expanded – Genocide (1/2 mill) and Expulsion (1/2 mill )
1956: Expansion dreams in helping old colonial power to take back Suez Canal by storming over Sinai – but blocked by New Masters!
1967:
“6 Days War” still claimed today as “defensive” – though not even one
foreign soldier seen anywhere near the border! But the entire Egyptian Air Force annihilated – sitting peacefully on an air field! –
Is that “DEFENSE”?!
It is more the Strategy of Hitler’s ‘Poland – 1800 reverse – to France: Here it is: –
Kill Rgypt! – reverse to Syria – via West Bank
(strange “defense”: Jordan hadn’t even sent one fighting came!)
For the CONQUEST OF SINAI/WEST BANK/GOLAN: SURPRISE!
75 years now, “God’s Chosen People” living and treating others like ‘Shameful Aryans’ – proclaiming “EXCEPTIONALISM”.
And that is where they are so easily seen as copycats of others who rule over large numbers of people who are considered to be “just not the same” – although the original “Children of Abraham” were as much Arabs [and Semites] as the Palestinians – but their homes(of the upper Ashkenazim class) were far away from any desert.
If it were only for Jews from North Africa, Ethiopia, or anywhere around there, we’d never have seen any of the butchery that has been around there in the Middle East.
No 100,000 Moroccan children would have been exposed to overdoses of X-rays, on the pretense of “ringworm infections”. No Prime Minister would carry on hunting women and children – who seem to be his main prey in Gaza.
-THAT DROVE THE FEAR OF COD INTO THE LITTLE FISH IN POTOMAC
-And anyway: They think there are TOO MANY HUMANS IN THE WORLD, over there!
BUT, Humans who see other Humans as EQUAL, unborn, born, young grown-up, mature, old, black, white, red, brown, yellow, male, or female, will treat them, as they hope to be treated! THAT QUALIFIES THEM AS TRULY HUMAN – but many fail in this – and Hitler was not the only one
