A Uranium One Primer â Clinton, Giustra & Kazakhstanâs Uranium Assets
In the two weeks prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Marine Corps University ran a four-day wargame to simulate the first several days of just such an invasion. One of us ran the wargame while the others played the Ukrainian and Russian forces. Despite a few stark differences, the current Russian offensive is playing out in ways eerily similar to that simulation.
By the time the wargame ended, the overall situation appeared very much as it does on the ground in Ukraine, with only two major deviations. First, the Russians have pushed harder out of Belarus to the west of the Dneiper â north of Kyiv â to strike the city from the rear. And secondly, the Russian assault in Kherson was temporarily halted, as the axis of advance in the south for a time turned northeast toward Mariupol. Both of these actions were, however, discussed by the players in the wargame..........
......Phenomenal journalist Pepe Escobar verifies that Russia had minute-by-minute Intel on plans of the Ukrainians. This is how the world works today. Prevent a planned genocide, and you get blamed for âunprovoked aggressionâ.
CONFIRMED by the Duma.
Russian âOperation Zâ started ONE DAY ahead of the invasion of Donbass by the Ukrainian Army.
GRU was receiving operational Intel minute-by-minute. So âRussia was left with no choice.â
A pre-emptive operation to prevent a massacre (of LPR and DPR).

House of Colonna?
From: WIKI, because it was easy to find
According to tradition, the Colonna family is a branch of the Counts of Tusculum â by Peter (1099â1151) son of Gregory III, called Peter "de Columna" from his property the Columna Castle in Colonna, in the Alban Hills. Further back, they trace their lineage past the Counts of Tusculum via Lombard and Italo-Roman nobles, merchants, and clergy through the Early Middle Ages â ultimately claiming origins from the Julio-Claudian dynasty and the gens Julia whose origin is lost in the mists of time but which entered the annals for the first time in 489 BC with the consulship of Gaius Julius Iulus.
And their coat of arms:
"All Roads lead to Rome" Once again it seems.
