Day 1144
Divvying up Ukraine like Berlin
The Full Pink Super Moon this morning was yellowish with reddish explosions on the northeastern horizon. I assume those were Shahed drones bursting into flame after being intercepted.
Just read the dumbest interview, maybe ever, about carving up Ukraine1.
I have written sparingling about my 3-year vacation in Berlin during the early 1980s because, er, the subject here is not комильфо2345. In other words, it’s malappris, excuse my French.
So what is Keith smoking?
I suspect Z and his potent managers know zero about post-war occupied Germany because they are bad students of history. Sympathetic army of occupation vets might clue them in to the joys of life in Berlin under the Four Powers Agreement and Allied Control Council — a terrible model to resurrect for Ukraine. Many French and English vets fictionalized their experience of being stationed in Berlin. They were a motley bunch, for the most part poorly fed and unequipped (to deal with their Soviet adversaries).
As for the Americans, there was Det A, but I digress.
Last time I checked, Keith was commander of SOCEUR after the decapitation of Yugoslavia. During the Cold War he was doing push ups and teaching kids how to jump out of airplanes.
Trump envoy: Ukraine could be divided like postwar Berlin. General Keith Kellogg suggests UK and France could lead western zone of control in interview with The Times (The Times, April 12, 2025)
