GEORGE MURDOCH CONNELL WAS A MARINE’S MARINE
He commanded the on-site inspection activities conducted at the Votkinsk missile assembly plant as part of the verification of the Intermediate Nuclear Forces treaty.
That is where I got to know him.
I was a young Lieutenant.
He was my mentor and friend.
When he passed in April 2015, at the age of 72, it broke my heart.
Together with hundreds of his family and friends, I honored him by attending his funeral at Arlington National Cemetery.
He was buried with full military honors.
George had a wicked sense of humor.
To help break the monotony and loneliness of serving in a remote location in the heart of the Soviet Union, thousands of miles away from home, George introduced the pink flamingo to Votkinsk.
The Americans loved it.
The Soviets grew to love it.
Pink flamingos are to George Connell like bees are to honey—inseparable.
Every now and then, those of us who loved George Connell will visit his grave site to honor the man and the Marine.
Sometimes we leave behind pink flamingos.
It’s against the rules.
We don’t care.
Because we know somewhere up above, George is looking down on us and smiling.
Semper Fidelis, Colonel.
Bravo Zulu for a life well lived.

He served as a Company Commander in the famous “Walking Dead” (1/9 Marines) in Vietnam, where he was awarded the Silver Star and Bronze Star for heroism in combat (and the Purple Heart for his wounds.)
He was the consummate Cold Warrior, highly decorated for his intelligence work as a military attaché in Moscow in the 1980’s.

Anyone Else but You
The Moldy Peaches
REFLECTING BACK ON MY “LOST SUMMER”, and am simultaneously struck by the sorrow of not being able to see the Russian friends I’ve made in the past two years, regrets over the new friendships that could have blossomed, and joy over the friendships I was able to make.
Friendship is the most important ingredient in the antidote for war.
I will continue to fight to preserve those friendships I have made, and for those I will make in the future.
That’s what waging peace is all about.

UKRAINIAN CONFLICT ESCALATION CAN LEAD TO GLOBAL-ENDING NUCLEAR WAR
Ukraine attacking Russia using long-range weapons provided by the US might be interpreted by Russia as a direct attack by the US, by NATO, on Russian territory, and regarded as a prelude to a larger military incursion meant to accomplish the US ultimate goal, the strategic defeat of Russia.
This is a very dangerous escalation, one that could rapidly create the conditions conducive for not limited nuclear conflict, but a general nuclear war, a global-ending global disaster... the destruction of the world. Why? Because the US and NATO will not be honest about the state of affairs in Ukraine today.
Ukraine has already lost the war and nothing that Kiev might do to try and tip the scales in its favor is going to change that.

Ukraine attacking Russia using long-range weapons provided by the US might be interpreted by Russia as a direct attack by the US, by NATO, on Russian territory, and regarded as a prelude to a larger military incursion meant to accomplish the US ultimate goal, the strategic defeat of Russia.
Russia has made it clear that as a nuclear power, it not only will not, but cannot be defeated strategically — because if such a possibility manifested itself, Russia would be required to use its nuclear arsenal to ensure that outcome would never, never occur. This means general nuclear war.

U.S. AND TAIWAN PROVOKE CHINA
Taiwan President Lai visited Matsu, an island off the coast of China.
The island was the site of a crisis in 1958 when Chinese communists shelled the islands in an attempt to dislodge Taiwanese troops.
This year, the US sent a special forces team to Kinmen Island to train Taiwanese commandos.
This is in contrast to the 1979 policy when the US enacted the Taiwan Law on Coordination with Taiwan for Self-Defense.
The Taiwanese president's trip to Matsu is part of a broader strategy by the US and its regional allies to provoke China into a nuclear conflict.

The US is seeking to rethink its military relationships with Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and Australia to counter China. This has alarmed China and prompted it to expand its nuclear arsenal.

THIS IS HOW ISRAEL COMMITS SUICIDE
Continuing a conflict it can’t win.
A conflict that has exposed it as an apartheid genocidal state.
A conflict that is destroying it economically, socially, and militarily.
In the name of rescuing people who could be released simply by having Israel end the war it cannot win.

MY LOST SUMMER
Growing up in a military family, I was immersed in patriotic themes built around the notion of service to one’s country.
It was destined that I follow in my father’s footsteps to serve my country as a Marine, and to abide by the code of an American fighting man. When I was commissioned, I took an oath “that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter, so help me God.”

I had hoped to make the Summer of 2024 a memorable one—building bridges of friendship to Russia, working to develop knowledge and information as an antidote to the poison of Russophobia in America, and trying to prevent a nuclear war between my country and the Russian Federation.

All you had to do was pressure Netanyahu.
But the Biden-Harris administration sold out to Israel long ago.
And now the hostages and the people of Gaza pay the price.

ON A HIGHWAY TO HELL
Successive U.S. administrations have eschewed arms control in favor of maintaining American strategic advantage over real and/or imagined adversaries.
At a time when the U.S. advocates policies exacerbating already high levels of tension with nuclear-armed adversaries Russia and China, the Biden administration has signed off on a new nuclear employment plan that increases, rather that decreases, the probability of nuclear conflict.
Left unchecked, this policy can have only one possible outcome — total nuclear annihilation of humanity and the world we live in.

Successive U.S. administrations have eschewed arms control in favor of maintaining American strategic advantage over real and/or imagined adversaries.
This is accomplished by embracing nuclear weapons employment strategies that deviate from simple deterrence into war-fighting at every level of conflict, including scenarios that don’t involve a nuclear threat.

RUSSIA STOPS UKRAINE'S KURSK OFFENSIVE, NATO IS NEXT
Interview for Reporterfy Media & Travel
Topics discussed:
▫️Ukraine and its Western backers are losing a strategic battle. The Ukrainians hoped to stave off defeat by launching a diversionary attack in the Kursk region, but this did not change the strategic outcome. Ukraine failed to distract Russia from its goals.
Russia is not at war, but it can mobilize tens of millions of men and has the most advanced strategic nuclear arsenal.
NATO cannot defeat Russia. Russia does not intend to wage war on NATO, but NATO is an existential threat to Russia.
▫️The FBI raided the homes of journalists without bringing charges. The U.S. Constitution protects everyone’s right to free speech, and we will fight for that.
▫️The difference between the F-16 and the Su-35.
