larry johnson believes that the empire stopped sending missiles into russia after getting a quiet warning in a phone call.;

Damn Bernard at Moon of Alabama (just kidding)! He took the keyboard right out of my hand with his latest piece, U.S. Has Stopped Ukrainian ATACMS Strikes On Russia. That’s what I intended to write tonight. Instead of me regurgitating his piece, go read it. We learned yesterday that Russia’s top general, Gerasimov, called US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Charlie Brown, on November 27th. We do not know what was said in that conversation, but we do know that no more ATACMs, Storm Shadows or SCALPS have been launched into Russian territory since that conversation. You don’t need an advanced degree in logic to surmise that Russia warned the United States (and told them to pass it on to its NATO partners) that the Russian Oreshnik missile was a warning and that Russia would hit NATO bases if further attacks occurred.

Guess what? Since that phone call, no more missile launches into Russia. Instead, Ukraine is still sending drones that are being routinely shot down. This means that the US and NATO are no longer providing attack coordinates to the Ukrainians. In this game of stare down, the West blinked.

This does not mean that the West has called a halt to its efforts to damage Russia. Nope. The West persists in trying to pull off a Maidan 2.0 in Georgia — i.e., paying and equipping protestors with weapons to provoke a violent response by the Georgian government — but Georgia ain’t taking the bait. The US and the UK, in my view, dispatched Ukrainian officers to Turkey and Syria to prep and assist the terrorist group, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) in carrying out an offensive to take control of northern Syria........more.........
