Big Red Car — Mon, 28 Apr 2025 16:52:12 +0000

It is 2:31 AM on 24 February 2022 and you and your beautiful wife are sleeping under a feather quilt in your warm bed in still wintry Kyiv when the phone rings. You look at the clock and rub your sleep shut eyes before answering. President Zelensky: “Yes?” Caller: “Mr. President, a Russian armor column […]

Ceasefire? Do We Have A Ceasefire In Ukraine?

Big Red Car — Sat, 29 Mar 2025 12:40:43 +0000

The direct and truthful answer to that question, beloved readers, is NO. Not just “no” but fuck no. So what’s been going on, Big Red Car? The Trump admin — as it promised during the campaign — is pressing hard to arrange a cessation of hostilities starting with a thirty day cease fire between Ukraine […]

Russian Nothing Burger — The Best Way To Cook A Russian Nothing Burger

Big Red Car — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 17:12:49 +0000

Donald J Trump, enroute to trouncing Kamala Harris, boasted he would end the Ukraine v Russia War before Inauguration Day. Might have been a bit of election braggadocio. Haha. The old boy can be a bit of a boaster, a braggart. It’s part of his charm, I suppose. I take no offense as it communicates […]

The Continuing Drift To War

Big Red Car — Fri, 22 Nov 2024 14:49:17 +0000

I wrote about the drift toward World War III here: Drifting Into War I think we are further along already. Let me share my concerns: 1. The North Koreans and the Russians have begun to cooperate at an increasingly higher troop level. NK is trading troops for cash, oil, food, and nuclear technology. This active […]

Ukraine War Escalation Or Not?

Big Red Car — Fri, 31 May 2024 17:02:47 +0000

The Biden admin recently announced it would no longer compel Ukraine to limit its use of American supplied long range armaments (capable of flinging hot iron 190 miles down range) to its own country. Translated: Ukraine can now use American ATACMS to strike targets — only certain targets — inside Russia. Russia, of course, has […]

The Massive Russian Misinformation/Disinformation Campaign

Big Red Car — Fri, 29 Dec 2023 21:27:57 +0000

Russia is a little country in economic terms with a GDP that is dwarfed by Italy. It is not a technologically advanced nation with most of its manufacturing expertise having been imported. It is not unfair to say Russia is a little gas station owned by China and India. Given the recent avalanche of Russian […]

Ukraine — The Summer Soldier And The Sunshine Patriot

Big Red Car — Tue, 12 Dec 2023 22:24:10 +0000

If you know your Revolutionary War history, you will recognize the phrase turned by the pamphleteer and firebrand Thomas Paine in The American Crisis in which he urged the beleaguered American revolutionaries — the Continental Army now on the far side of the Delaware River driven before the victorious British — to hold steady and […]

The State of the Russian Economy

Big Red Car — Fri, 21 Jul 2023 15:42:56 +0000

Russia invaded a peaceful Ukraine in February 2022 — seventeen months ago — and thereafter the West imposed broad economic sanctions on Russia. Putin, knowing he was going to invade Ukraine, prepared for the anticipated economic sanctions by stockpiling liquidity, but was caught off guard by the universality and depth of the West’s sanctions. [It […]

The Impending Ukrainian Counterattack

Big Red Car — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 17:17:32 +0000

The Russians threatened a year round attack on Ukraine promising a robust winter offensive that failed to materialize and what fighting did occur took a bloody and disproportionate toll on Russian combat power. Essentially, the Ukrainians gave up little to no territory and exacted a massive price in Russian blood. The Russians, during the winter, […]
