A senior Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) officer, who is the Assistant Chief of Staff at the #NATO Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC), faces court martial, “dismissal with disgrace”, and loss of his military pension for having disagreed with Canadian, American, and British military planners of Ukrainian battlefield operations against Russia. His disagreement was in private, when the officers were asking for his professional assessment, and didn’t like what he told them.
Colonel Robert Kearney was charged by the Canadian military police on April 23. The charge sheet says he faces “five (5) x counts of Conduct Prejudice to the Good Order and Discipline pursuant to section 129 of the National Defence Act.”
The source notes that the first charge against Kearney dated in December 2021 is “interesting as well. That was during the time of NATO preparations to back a Ukrainian offensive into the #Donetsk and #Lugansk republics and into #Russia proper. More than likely, Kearney told his fellow staffers that the operational plan was a hugely dangerous idea. Colonel Kearney was seeing the writing on the wall, how NATO wasn’t at all ready, and he didn’t keep it to himself. By November 2023, when the fifth charge is alleged, he had probably said ‘I told you so’ four times too many.”
Above #history, where it leads to can be followed.
I'm curious as to what will happen in the next few months and years.
