As Russia continues to build up troop presence near the Ukraine border, Joe Biden sent a warning to Vladimir Putin. In response Russia told the U.S. to stay out of the Black Sea “for your own good” while they conduct exercises. Biden turned back two U.S. navy ships…. Hours later Putin closed the Kerch Strait.
The Biden administration is attempting to give the illusion of strength but it is all an act and Russia knows it. The Ukraine is vulnerable to Russian absorption because a large portion of the Ukrainian people support Russia. NATO is attempting to issue threats, but Russia knows the EU, and specifically Germany, will do nothing except grasp their pearls. It is all false bravado on the part of the NATO alliance; they have no teeth and their electorate have no desire for another conflict.
A Background Note – Additional leverage Putin holds goes back to the Nordstream 2 gas pipeline to supply the energy needs of Germany. German Chancellor Angela Merkel was warned by President Trump not to go forward with the pipeline that creates a geopolitical leverage for Russia. Merkel went ahead despite the warnings, and adding salt to the issue, Germany never upheld their NATO funding commitments (2% of GDP). This was a major source of contention between Trump and Merkel.
The knuckleheads behind Biden attempted to flex their muscle toward Russia through a series of sanctions earlier today. The United States sanctioned 32 Russian entities and individuals along with six technology companies, formally attributed the SolarWinds cyber breach to Russian intelligence agencies, and accused Moscow of still trying to hack American targets.
Russian President Vladimir Putin doesn’t care about words. Words, without action are meaningless. Putin knows the Biden administration is weak domestically because the majority of the U.S. electorate view his administration as illegitimate. Putin also knows Barack Obama foreign policy is essentially Biden foreign policy, and Putin accepts that both Obama and Biden are intent to weaken the U.S. globally.
From the Russian perspective a bunch of noisy and pontificating moonbats are currently running everything in the U.S. and there is absolutely nothing to fear because their leadership, our U.S. government, is weak and unsupported. Putin knows Americans are not going to agree to another regional war in Europe when the damn Europeans are not even willing to defend themselves.
Joe Biden acting like Scott Farcus only works until Ralphie puts a fist in Farcus’s face.
And don’t forget… the number one asset of Russia is energy (oil and gas); JoeBama’s energy policy has effectively assisted the Russian economy. So there’s that…
We have some interesting dynamics at present:
Well, we know what’s important!
Were you aware that soros and his friends initiated a coup in ukraine in 2014
Those gangsters run it now
They want to point the finger at russia of course
It’s not clear who is playing nasty in regards to Ukraine and Russia. Ron Paul calls it out.
In previous discussions about JoBama’s attempts at packing the Supreme Court the question arose; “why this immediate need to do it, right now?” Is the administration trying to deflect attention from something big looming on the horizon? Well, here we have it. With all the ties to Ukrainian gas company corruption circling the Biden’s and many in the US Senate, there’s bound to be some incriminating facts leaked out during the fog of war if things get ugly in and around Ukraine. If you think Biden is a compromised character now, just wait until Putin turns up the heat, putting the ol’ gas burner on High.
Biden’s letter to Congress re: his EO as linked above.
A Letter on Blocking Property with Respect to Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian Federation
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/04/15/a-letter-on-blocking-property-with-respect-to-specified-harmful-foreign-activities-of-the-government-of-the-russian-federation/
The Kerch separates the Sea of Azov from the Black Sea, which is separated from the Mediterranean by the Bosphorus Strait. The Sea of Azov is an internal waterway and I don’t think the US Navy has entered that sea during peacetime, if ever. The US Navy is often on the Black Sea.
(An uninformed reader might think the Black Sea has been closed off. Turkey controls access to the Black Sea.)
If war starts, the channel in Turkey that leads into the Black Sea will blocked. It would be a duck hunt for Russia.
Turkey is a member of NATO. There would be hell to pay for closing the Bosphorus.
ROFLMAO………The EU does not have the balls for war at present let alone meeting their financial obligations to NATO.
European countries, particularly Germany, want our protection from Russia – which they fail to meet their financial obligation, as you say – meanwhile they want Russian oil and natural gas pipelines.
Until they resolve their internal tensions we should stay out of European problems.
Let the EU burn coal.
Hahaha!
Russia is not germany’s enemy
Germany is on its knees
A prisoner to wall street and brussels oligarchs
The germans are slaves
Correct. Merkel is an old Commie from East Germany. She harbors no distaste for Putin and the old Soviets. Obiden / JoeBama is a toothless moron to her. She knows he’s fine with putting the U.S. under Global Corporatist Totalitarian rule.
Her predecessor, Gerhard Schroeder, was the German representative in the development of Nord Stream 2. Why? The project is in Germany’s interest.
She doesn’t like Putin.
He teases her with dogs when he gets a chance, knowing she’s afraid of them. It’s a strange dynamic, but they know each other inside-out.
Yeah they’ve got plenty of problems of their own.
Russia has a secret offensive weapon. The reason Moscow gave Hunter Biden 3.5 million.
If Erkel wants a war let her and macaroon go ahead. We got no dog in this fight. The military dont care either.
We pretty much took care of all the German alpha males in the 1940’s.
Similar to what the feminist movement did to their own young men in our country.
Revenge of the incels.
Yeah … but they can write dozens of sternly worded missives!
At one time, NATO was good… Now, though, nato is a bad joke, kinda like the “u.n.”.
They can’t control whole sections of their own capital cities!
No-go zones aren’t covered by NATO.
If the war starts, woke can volunteer. They voted for Pedo.
Send Jimmy Kimmel’s family….Colbert….Psaki.
Close off the Black Sea? How did Putin get control of the Dardanelles? That was my first thought.
If you intend to give a geography lesson do not forget the Dardenelles as an access restriction between the Black and Mediterranean Seas.
I was going to explain how all that worked, then I saw your post. When I read the headline about Putin closing the Black Sea off, I knew that wasn’t right…lol. I might have spent some time there, but I cant tell you about that, or you know…Id have to……. 🙂
An illegitimate obama stand in is answering the phone in the oval office and no one has a clue what the U. S. is doing. No one. A national embarrassment is underway. Perhaps, the belief that President Trump will return with a real Republican Congress and implement leadership again with a does as he says America First agenda will slow the global idiots from doom.
The whole world knows about Buraq’s third illegitimate term.
Meanwhile, I think Bush and BHO have a special on about how they hunted and killed OBL.
Probably not a single peep will be said about how Biden was involved in compromising the operational security of Seal Team 6.
Or why it was that they were all on that Chinook that particular day.
Putin knows what is going on, and if biden has any sense, he won’t pick at Putin…
It’s a sad state of affairs when I find myself empathizing with Putin, as he deals with American political insanity.
Yeah, it is a very sad state of affairs when the president of the Christian republic is in Russia, while the dottering old man, with supporting lunatics, heads up the USA.
“Putin knows the Biden administration is weak domestically because the majority of the U.S. electorate view his administration as illegitimate.”
And to think, somewhere there’s an experienced CEO shaking his head and quietly remarking to his staff, “This isn’t how it’s done.”
But that is exactly what they are doing (people controlling Biden).
They stole an major election to show the rest of the world that we are idiots in the grandest sense. There is no respect now for America from nearly all quarters. How very sad the Dems have dragged us to the brink of another failed country.
I am just glad this is not happening on Trump’s watch. Would really hate to see him blamed for this mess.
I personally don’t give a damn if Mr. Putin annexes the whole Ukraine. They were nothing but trouble. President Trump was impeached because of Ukraine and their corrupt dealings with Obama, Biden and Soros. I am sure the majority would greet Putin as a liberator, just like in Crimea. The country was part of the Russian territory for well over a thousand years, before the word “Russia” even came into existence. The Russian capital was Kiev. Today, Russia is much more prosperous than Ukraine. Both countries are corrupt but we have no moral right to complain about their corruption, do we now?
Remember it is the American msm who tells you that Russia is corrupt
If they lie about everything else, don’t you think they lie about that too?
Well, the Russian oligarchs ARE corrupt to their boots….but so what?
The contention that US kids should die to protect foreigners they have nothing in common with and no interest in is well passed.
And in the end what for? What chance US boys want to fight under instructions from an illegitimate President?
Many of the oligarchs who plundered russia scampered out and went to london
The us
Ukraine
Russia was cracking down on them.
Thats why the wall street oligarchs had schumer punish russia, for the oligarch interssrs.
Now the oligarchs are trying to start a war with Russia
They want back in
The oligarchs want to use the american military to attack christian russia
So the oligarchs can plunder russia
They already have plundered the us and europe
Apologising for the remnants of the KGB who run Russia is laughable.
“Russia was cracking down on them.” Yeah, but you miss the point entirely, Putin is cracking down because some of them became political threats to his power not because they’re more corrupt than Putin.
You sound like a cnn broadcast
Whether you choose to be misled or not
I have no idea
But why would you repeat tired cnn nonsense?
No substance there.
The oligarchs you admire plundered russia
“Plundered Russia”… yes, Putin is one of them. What’s your point?
I “admire” oligarchs? Is English a second language for you?
Putin stopped the rape of Russia by these evil creatures, whose predations had lowered the life expectancy of Russian men to 55 years.
The ‘White Death’ in America is but a foreshadowing of what they will do to us here in our land.
Please…who gives a rats about Russia.
As soon as Russia morphed from an international superpower Communist State who exported their Communism into a broke, quasi mafia, crony oligarchy State they were no longer a threat to the US, except in the minds of the neo-cons, who never saw a war they didn’t like for their industrial arm.
How do you know that? What evidence do you have?
The question of whether Putin is evil is a contentious one (as evidenced here!). A blogger named Alex Krainer doesn’t think so (see here) . Another blogger, JR Nyquist, thinks all the Russians are not to be trusted (see here).
What is the truth? Is Putin fighting against his own “deep state” in Russia? Or is Putin just anther swamp creature pretending to be a reformer? I honestly don’t know as the world of deep state disinformation and deception is beyond me.
Russia is nothing more then an organization like the mafia and always has been. ALL of their Russian communities in the U.S. should be completely shut down of sending money back to fill the account of Vladimir
American oligachs are also currupt to their birkenstocks.
This wouldn’t have happened on President Trump’s watch.
President Trump was action with words, that was respected by Putin, not “Words, without actions…” which Putin ignores as you would a mosquito.
Hi Summer. there is no doubt in my mind that they will be blaming POTUS TRUMP in …3.2.1.
Check social media. This is just fodder for the “Russia bad” “Trump bad” narrative.
I told my sister much the same thing. Let them have Ukraine. It was their government that gave President Trump such headaches by working against him.
3-2-1…
.
Let Russia have the Ukraine.
First, not our problem. We have bigger, more immediate issues. Like China. Border. Antiliberty tyrant wannabes in power all over the place.
Second, something like half of Ukrainians identify as Russian, and a good portion of the rest aligned with the Nazis in WWII.
The second part of your last sentence is one of the reasons Russia will not take over Ukraine.
Half of Ukraine went Nazi after Barbarossa because it was a convenient path to nationhood.
Russia could promise Ukraine complete independence from Europe/NATO under the promise of a new eastern-leaning federation. And heat. Russia could promise them heat.
Russia originated from Scandinavian settlements at Novgorod and Kiev. On the other I understand Ukrainian hatred of Russia because of what the Soviets did.
Not our problem.
Modern Russia originated from the Duchy of Moscovy, a satrapy of the Golden Horde of the Mongols. Crimea was an Empire of Russia possession until Kruschev in one of his drunken bouts “gifted” it to the Socialist Republic of Ukraine in the USSR days.
They aligned with the Nazi’s, not because they were Nazi’s but did not identify as Russian and knew what the communist were.
Putin doesn’t need a strategy to deal with the Biden administration because Biden is playing right into his hand. Yes the whole world is laughing at the lunatic in the White House. Thank you CNN.
It wasn’t CNN that did us in, it was a corrupt GOP Senate. NEVER FORGET THAT!
The traitor is always worse than the open enemy. The establishment Republican Party and the establishment Democratic Party are two wings on the same globalist vulture. Corrupt GOP Senators are employees: their transnational corporate masters are the true enemy.
Michael Jones is CORRECT!
Establishment GOP (GOPe) are as much traitors to the U.S. Constitution as are the DemoCommunists! They aided the 2020 election steal by not objecting to any of it, and by staying silent while figuratively laying down a red carpet for JoeBama to stumble in and illegally take over the Executive Branch.
Sundance is correct: GOPe = Uniparty with the Commies (Dems).
Those traitors all get rich on our tax dollars while they rape the working / middle class.
The Biden Administration is one bad Monty Python sketch after another. Go watch the DeadParrot classic and tell me if the shopkeeper doesn’t remind you of a Biden Administration spokesperson.
So, the MIC has decided it’s okay to pull out of Afghanistan. Are they turning their eyes to Russia? Maybe this isn’t incompetence, but allowing it to happen as an excuse. Not unlike we heard FDR was warned about Pearl Harbor.
Take it with a grain of salt, but my brother’s widow is Ukrainian and her mother is still over there outside of Kiev and she told me that Ukraine does NOT like Putin. They are still angry about taking Crimea “without asking, he just took it” and I’m sure they’re upset about this also. She says her mother heavily follows politics over there.
Now, she used to work in Moscow, she also reports Russia loves Putin. She used to call herself Russian, but now she identifies as Ukrainian, which is where she is actually from. Big grudge against Russia.
She also added that Ukraine’s dream is to be a part of NATO.
As I replied to outhouse counsel above on a slightly different aspect, the very high proportion of Russia haters in Ukraine is a prime reason Russia does not want responsibility for it, apart from helping it get the Minsk agreements implemented.
Your brother’s widow forgot to tell you that Soros and his goons initiated a coup in Ukraine In 2014.
Ukraine is now utterly corrupt.
A gangster named Kolomoiski runs Ukraine now.
He returned from Israel to bicker with Soros’s people
Ukraine has been plundered.
Your relative has been played the fool by American and European thieves who despise christians
Just reporting, apparently they consider Crimea a part of Ukraine. I asked her specifically about Putin support over there, though. They think Putin is a bully. Her friends in Moscow love Putin, though.
Christians ukrainians are on their knees to soros’s oligarch friends
Who even stole the ukrainian’s gold
Modern independent Ukraine considers itself more of an eastern European country than Russian. Ukraine likes to be part of Europe. Eastern Europe.
The christian ukrainians have no say in anything
They are slaves to the gangsters who took over their country
With soros and us help
Even their gold was plundered by these oligarch gangsters
ukie can dream on…those russian haters will never will be member of NATO…..
Sure hope so.
No way.
We’re more likely to be looking at dog-eating ChiCom soldiers on our long border with Canada.
That isnt happening either.
The Chinese soldiers in Canada is a lie, never happened. They had an exercise planned in 2019. President Trump advised the Canucks that would not be ok with him or our Military. They were then canceled. Just an FYI, in case you didnt know the real story.
She doesn’t follow “history” too well then. You can call Russia an Indian giver if you want but they OWNED Crimea from the late 1700’s. Ever hear the poem from Lord Tennyson called “The Charge of the Light Brigade?” That happened in the 1840-50’s when France and Britain invaded RUSSIA in Crimea.
Yes, the Crimean War. Lines all over Europe have been moved from time to time. My father in law was born in Danzig, Germany that became Gdansk, Poland.
At least 3 hostile foreign governments are holding kompromat on Biden:
Russia, China and the FBI.
I see what you did there. 😉
The Biden administration is attempting to give the illusion of strength but it is all an act and Russia knows it.
I think the whole world knows…
The Biden Regime is a geriatric shivering chihuahua before all the wolves of the world.
IMO Putin is getting a big laugh out of this farce. This country is really messed up. Very dangerous situation.
The yapping is getting on my nerves.
Putin-Merkel relationship, pix:
Like the frantic frenzy of a gaggle of millennials chasing a rumored release of the i-phone 14, the Biden presidency* is a land-grab call to the villain states of the world to go and get it.
Farewell and adieu to ye Ukrainian ladies…farewell and adieu to ye ladies of Taiwan…
for a weak Biden presidency* means the Jaws of Commies are coming
you’ll be conquered and nevermore shall ye be seen again.
Gee, it’s almost like Biden is Putin’s puppet, eh?
More like his Court Jester…
Apparently God’s answer for now is no. God allowed the 2020 election to be stolen by the communists. I was reading the book of Jeremiah this morning and God sent the Babylonians against Israel because they refused to follow God. God will not be mocked and America is absolutely reaping what she has sewn.
I do not agree that God allowed the 2020 election to be stolen. “The enemy come but to steal, kill and destroy.”
Exactly
They don’t fear Biden. With the politicization of the Military they have little fear of our military. They know “The Generals” and Secdef are more concerned about trannies, being politically correct, riding the ranks of Trump supporters and getting another star. Putin refuses to meet with Biden, he may decide to roll into Ukraine at the same time the CCP attacks Taiwan.
Ukraine was taken over by soros and his oligarch friends in 2014
Maybe youve never heard of victoria nuland
Ukraine is run by wall street and brussels gangsters
They want to use us money and military to attack russia and plunder there again
Putin is only the bad guy to the gangster oligarchs
How many times are you going to spam the board with this?
What is your dog in the hunt?
Not one single American life is worth anything in Ukraine or Russia. Not one. They had their chance to fix it when Trump was in. They blew it. Tough.
The US blew it as well. We lost a great President and are now fighting for the survival of the USA. We are a bit busy to worry about a country that would not help itself.
As for Soros, he almost broke the Bank of England. They gave him a pass. He screwed Hungary. They slapped his hand. His involvement in Ukraine is known. Why don’t those three get together and take care of the Soros problem once and for all. You better hurry, because if the spark gets lit over here his chance of survival will be less than Saddam Hussein.
He must have the world’s best security detail.
That’s all good in theory, how ever, Mr. Barret Fifty could easily deal with this situation, in the hands of well trained expert.
So Quid Pro Joe’s withholding aid to Ukraine might cause Ukrainians to actually die?
Ukrainians are prisoners of oligarchs like soros who initiated a coup there in 2014
Many christian ukrainians and russians have been been killed by soros’s associates
Maybe Joe could send them some blankets like Buraq did. PDJT sent them Javelin tank busters.
Don’t worry, China Joe will fix it, just like he fixed our energy industry and the Southern border.
Biden > “All right, they’re on our left, they’re on our right, they’re in front of us, they’re behind us…they can’t get away this time”
Putin> ROFLAO
Biden > We have them surrounded.
Movie videos belong on the OPEN….
????
Brainless Biden did not flinch. Jill Biden Maybe, but poor Joe probably thinks Ukraine is some kind of bad weather coat and the Black Sea is the first letter of the CIA.
My money is on Pelosi flinching since she is obviously running the Pentagon.
We bailed Europe out of WWI and WWII and rebuilt them on the backs of American taxpayers. Enough! We are not going to get sucked into another continental war over- hurt feelings and false national honor. Wait for what’s coming next- calls for the Draft.
Draft who? The rioters in Chicago?
They would not draft anyone I had an influence with.
Maternity wards.
Psaki was asked about drafting women in today’s press conference?
Foreshadowing?
Do you know more about this “draft” idea?
Do tell….
The Russians actually bailed the Allies out of WWII. Their casualties were 10X those of the US, from a smaller population.
The Russians have been practicing nuclear defense drills. They are not messing around. This will not be a far-away war in Europe. They have had enough of the whiners and Christian haters on our coasts. That’s who will pay the price if we don’t knock it off.
It was in 2018 when Putin stated that Russian response to aggression would include the ‘decision making centers’ would be taken out.
Didn’t take long… three months! Imagine the ground they’ll cover in 4 years! All the bad guys know they have a 4 year window. I’m concerned for the North.
Sundance,
I think you misunderstood the JoeBama maneuver. Navy movement and hostile rhetoric toward Putin were setting background for Executive Order on Blocking Property with Respect to Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian Federation, issued today.
This Order allows the federal government to BLOCK (sounds better than ‘SEIZE’) ALL property of any US citizen, organization, or business SUSPECTED of remote connection to almost any “Russian malicious activity”.
Not only due process, but even notification is declared not needed.
Bye-bye, Constitution.
No reason that this public maneuver cannot
be deflection, obfuscation and all-around bluster simultaneously.
These people behind much of these moves are machiavellan and always these actions serve more than one purpose. Some are much less obvious.
So they’ll come up with some more Russia hoax crap on Trump and try to seize his assets??
Shit, I didn’t know that. All my texts in this string? There goes my computer. Hopefully not our house.
It’s not surprising that the White House embarrassment, comes across as a weak simpleton. The idiot pulling the strings was himself an, apologetic embarrassment and world renowned bench warmer for 8 years.
The Uniparty. Does. Not. Care.
They want Putin to be bold, because that feeds their “Russia bad” narrative and keeps the war hawks coming back to the trough.
The issue with Ukraine and Russia might be analogous to Scotland and her choice to remain a member state of the UK. If the majority of Ukrainians want to rejoin Russia, let them do it. Ultimately, though, this is about the globalist parasites of the UN and US trying to stop a non-globalist country from increasing their influence.
The Ukraine (and Crimea in particular) has been a multi-century desire for Russia — from the tsars to the politburo. That warm water port, and the entirety of the bread-basket of the Ukraine, is far too ripe and juicy of a plum to ignore. Anyone with a sense of history could see this one coming a mile away. Ditto for the Russian involvement in Syria — their only military port in the Mediterranean.
The Crimean War of the 19th century were an absolute mess that burned through a million men and ultimately helped lead to the Red Revolution as the Tsarist autocracy was weakened from the loss of the war. Later in the Ukraine/Crimea, Soviets ‘resettled’ and slaughtered Tatars, Kulaks, and more in the holodomor that outpaced anything the Third Reich could dream of.
This area of the world is going to burn once more. And to be frank, the Europeans have blocked Ukraine from joining the EU and ultimately NATO. It’s their damn mess so let their sons die if they want to stop it, or let them deal with the angry bear in their back yard if they don’t.
It’s not the United States’ problem, and even if it were I have zero faith in the “Biden Administration” and the current “military leaders” to prosecute or actually win a war. Decades of playing in the sandbox with restrictive ROE, an over-concern for PR, and now the SJW push has made the US military soft.
You ve been listening to too much cnn
The voice of oligarch dictators
Calling other people dictators and aggressors
This joke of a federal government needs to explain why it matters a whit to Americans who controls Crimea. Here we run sham elections, conduct political prosecutions, and on and on and on. Our system, once great, no longer exists, so we ought to stick to our own knitting.
It’s no business of the USAs where Germany buys its energy.
Nato is good for cleaning up unruly natives without shoes elsewhere…. its European members have no stomach or military depth for any confrontation with Russia.
Nato should disband, leave them to it.
While you are technically correct you are ignoring the enormous political influence over Germany that Russia has because of Germany’s dependence upon Nordstgream / Gazprom for a significant amount of its energy.
Russian influence over the largest economy in the EU is not good for the West. Though we (the U.S.) now have larger problems domestically because of real communists running the federal government, letting Russia influence the EU via its political/economic influence over Germany cannot have a good outcome.
And liquifying OUR natural gas and sending it to Germany is a better solution? Let’s keep ours here for our grandkids and let the Germans use up Russia’s.
“Russian influence over the largest economy in the EU is not good for the West’
What West? The West has been demographiced to oblivion.
What is or isn’t good for Europe is of minimal concern to me. .
I guarantee you that President Trump didn’t / doesn’t ignore Europe. He understands that what happens on the Continent that contains most of our ancestors is not to be ignored; we still have a significant connection both culturally and economically. That’s my point.
Good leadership can walk and chew gum simultaneously. PDJT built up the American economy AND kept the EU on its toes despite the arrogance and stupidity of its largest countries (France and Germany) because 45 understands the importance there. JoeBama cannot do either nor understands what day it is.
PDJT would not be posturing with two frigates, a carrier group maybe, but he would properly deal to Russia by some of the economic tactics I mention elsewhere.
You want US lives and treasure lost in Europe/Ukraine for historic reasons?…fine…don’t include me and mine in that.
You’re assuming incorrectly. I’ll leave it at that.
Peace
If Germany doesn’t want to be dependent on Russia for energy, Germany should not have decommissioned all its nuke plants. But Germany did exactly that. Gotta be ‘green.’
No argument from me on that. You’re exactly correct.
When Xi pushes Russia too aggressively – which he will – we’ll see our interests in alignment once more. In the not-too-distant future.
And India still regards Russia as its best friend. At some point China will step too hard on Indian toes and cross some clear red line set by Russia.
?
The government is too busy letting their thugs burn down cities to intimidate and enslave law abiding citizens. Russia, China are natural allies with the current regime that stole this country’s election.
OMG how can we survive without access to the Sea of Azov?
One thing the world respects his strength and they see how weak Xiden showing the world that America is a weak. With that you will see the China will take Taiwan and Persia will start It’s quest for a nuclear weapon and the game is on around the world.
And why should we care if Persia has a nuke? Pakistan has one. And so does Israel.
Easy answer. Because Iran is run by religious nutters, unlike Pakistan and Israel where secular govts control the military.
Belief in the 12th Imam, end of days stuff, there means significant people might not care about consequences, best they never have a device that can be easily shipped to NY city on a cargo ship. I bet you get it now.
No he doesn’t get it, and never will. He is an idiot. If Iran has a nuke, they will use it on Israel. Perhaps that is what he wants.
Death to America! Death to Israel!
Twisted nutters have an agenda that’s so clear you have to be WILLFULLY BLIND to miss it.
Seriously do we not understand that Russia, China are in complete alignment with the regime controlling this county. The O’Biden regime is going to let them do what they do, while trying to do what they do, here.
True in part. Bi-Den is in alignment with China, but not Russia. Russia and USA are Nationalist. China and Bi-Den want fascist-globalism under the control of China, with the cooperation of multinational corporations.
Christian Russia is only aligning with China because we won’t align with Russia, and we don’t want the Russians to align with Germany.
It’s our loss, as well as Russia’s.
The anti-American Cabal sees that perfectly.
JoeBama making Neville Chamberlain look like a force of nature.
JR Nyquist Blog. Terrific article.
Indeed outstanding
Are Russia and China Igniting a Third World War? – J.R. Nyquist Blog
I’m probably like many here in that on one hand I want to root for my country but am having a hard time doing so knowing it’s being run by a fraudulent, incompetent regime.
And it all could’ve been prevented had our Supreme Court done their job and a former VP wasn’t a weasel.
It’s not my country anymore. My vote doesn’t count, the “law” will be used against me at the first opportunity, the schools actively teach that I am evil, they tear down my history.
Biden is worse than worthless … I pray.
The O’Biden regime aspires to be Russia/China, they care nothing about what either do. You think they believe in individual freedom, the Constitution? Shouldn’t take long to answer that question.
It is so obvious how to answer the question. However, Thickness of the skull for so many people has no weak spots.
American forces can out match anyone. Our fake pretendous cant tie his shoes. The military most likely aint gonna play his game.
You mean with a Navy that lets it ships collide because female crew was spatting and not talking to each other? That military?
I am going to blame the Chinese here. What better way to weaken our superior defenses than to introduce Woke nonsense?
Sorry but DC let whatever happens happen.
I don’t give a rats-a$$ about Ukraine, Crimea, Georgia, Russia, any of that. That area of the world has virtually nothing to do with us. Just leave it. Get out of the Black Sea. Get out of Syria. Get out of the Middle East before the Iranian nuke slaughters our troops.
Ignore Ukraine and Russia, yes. Abandon our allies in the middle east or allow Iran a nuclear weapon, no fricken way. You apparently want to be the one the alligator eats last. Without allies we are next. Do not be stupid.
The headline for this post is misleading and needs to be changed. Putin hasn’t blocked access to the Black Sea, said access being controlled by Turkey via the Bosporus. As others have pointed out the Kerch Strait is bounded on both sides by Russian controlled territory.
Perhaps Putin is trying to keep Biden away from the rich slave farms that fed the Ottoman Empire for hundreds of years, Northeast of Azov /s
These imbeciles are seriously dangerous. Their idea of diplomacy is making empty threats and posturing.
Predicting another CCP nuclear-armed bomber-fighter group to penetrate the 200 mile zone around one of our carrier groups soon
The NATO budget is one trillion a year and we as U.S. taxpayers pony up 7.50 billion of that and for what?
NATO countries are a bunch of cowards and Those who cower in the corner should be removed.
We just had ships in the Black Sea (one for sure) and they knew this was coming.
What is the fuss all about? Jumpin’ Joe is too busy burying the country in debt, encouraging an immigration onslaught, overturning Trump policies, packing the Supreme Court, and enacting a full-court press on the new Green Deal! Go Commie!
In less than 90 days, the progressives have destroyed America. Sad.
I blame John Roberts.
I blame Pence and McConnell.
Sending two destroyers into the Black Sea without air support is suicide. Biden doesn’t know that. God forbid we get into a full war with Russia when the entire US Navy being trained for perfect wokemanship.
Seems like 46 is the real Putin puppet.
If the Ukraine goes down, Hunter Biden will finally lose that lucrative gig with Burisma. This is serious!
lol
There will be much handwringing and spitting from The Dementia Man but nothing else. The Commander in Chief of the US military is cognitively challenged, no-one could go to war commanded by such a clown.
Most aren’t aware the US could bring Russia to its knees instantly if it was serious…..by declaring that any country that trades with Russia has no business dealings with the US. No trade, no banking, no stock exchange, no ownership of US property, repudiation/suspension of all US debt (bonds) held by that country etc etc.
Russia fixed before lunch. But of course, we aren’t really serious.
Entirely possible.
However, just imagine how much more lucrative it is for the middle men allowed to operate the less then legal channels.
Much more profitable and the customers come to you.
That’s part of the Russian trap. They will set up a counter to the dominance of the US Dollar. Then we’re sunk if we have to live within our means, not support the rest of the world through our imports.
“They will set up a counter to the dominance of the US Dollar.”
Don’t be silly.
The US$ is the world’s reserve currency for a reason….the Russians have the GDP of Spain.
Counter to the dominance of the USD is coming, I have no doubt.
Indeed.
It will be something like IMF SDRs.
The US$ will be in the basket, a large part of it.
I humbly submit that it might be a very good thing for the US, the ability of govt to print and spend will be much reduced. Many good things flow from that over time.
No other individual currency can ever take the place of the US$ as the world’s reserve currency.
I detest Biden. That doesn’t mean that when he backs down from a pointless war with Russia, it is a bad thing. I have zero interest in some USA line in the sand or Biden looking like Neville Chamberlain. Putin is not Hitler. Not getting into a shooting war with Russia is a good thing, regardless of who is president. The same thing applies to Afghanistan. It was a good idea under Trump. It’s still a good idea under Biden
