Many Americans have no idea that Russia is an OPEC member. Even fewer recognize that Russia’s primary economic export is energy via oil and gas. Oil and gas exports drive the Russian economy. Any U.S. policy that drives up the value of oil and gas directly enhances the economy and influence of Russia.
Thanks to Joe Biden’s specific energy policy shutting down U.S. energy exploration, Russia’s economy is booming and has made billions more in the sales of high priced oil and natural gas into Europe and the global marketplace. That increased oil and gas revenue is directly responsible for Russia’s ability to expand militarily in the region.
So when it comes to threats, like Russia annexing even more of Ukraine as a strategic objective…. Joe Biden is strengthening Russia on one hand and threatening the strength of Russia with the other. Russian President Vladimir Putin sees this with clear eyes.
Meanwhile the NATO partners who *claim* to be worried about Russia (they’re really not) are the same nations that are buying the oil and gas from Russia. This was the ridiculous economic dynamic President Trump confronted when he challenged NATO on their energy and national security policies. Tucker Carlson discusses this:
Biden wants a Nord Stream II pipeline cut.
Adjusted for Bidenflation.
Biden will work both sides. A cut from Russia and a cut from Germany.
The Uniparty works all sides.
From Russia Reset(HRC 2009) to Russia Collusion(HRC 2016).
Ukraine: Poroshenko awards Orders of Ukraine to US Senators McCain and Graham
And don’t forget that’s Senator Amy Klobuchar and Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch sitting there with Senators McCain and Graham.
McYellowstain the bootlicking traitor. He licked so many boots his tongue turned black.
Wait, didn’t the occupier just recently give Nordstream 2 the green light and beg Russia for oil? Tucker is right; they are like children playing in a sandbox.
OMG! We need the body language expert … actually, no we don’t …. to see the obvious humorous disrespect Putin has for the 50-year political hack, Joe Biden as an “adversary”. And even LESS respect for the college sophomores pulling his strings.
Putin couldn’t show his disdain through his posture and face, but his feet were wiggling a lot! Even Putin’s feet KNOW that Biden is an idiot!
The whole Biden regime stinks to high heaven. Nuland is a dangerous idiot working for a mountebank. Def: A boastful unscrupulous pretender. We are living through a nightmare brought on by a stolen presidential election.
When I hear that the DC villains are pushing for war and want to put our sons and daughters in harms way to protect another countrys’ borders while ours remain wide open , I just want to punch somebody. Really really hard!
Give us the courage, Lord, to stand up to this tyranny! Otherwise we may see another charade “for democracy” fiasco and the needless loss of American citizens’ and soldiers’ lives will ensue.
When all else fails, start a war.
President Biden warned Putin that if Russia invades Ukraine the US will withdraw haphazardly and leave $86 Billion in Equipment Behind. The Bee
The Babylon Bee
ROTF. Post of the day. Still LMAO!
Exactly. The incompetents need a distraction.
A potato.
If Biden and his handelers decided one day to start doing things that would deliberately destroy our nation, what would they do differently than there current actions.
That was back when Joe took the VP position under Obama.
… and Joe Bama sent blankets to UKR to defend against RUS aggression.
Now, the Russians will be able to invade Ukraine with Hybrid/Electric tanks.
T-34 EV
Hmm, I don’t know. Maybe start a nuclear war with Russia?
…but President Trump was Putin’s Puppet… man I HATE these people. 😡😡😡
me too. <insert angry, red-faced, scrunchy, pieced off face …here!>
How’d I do? Did it work .. yet?
These people are EFFING INSANE! How are we supposed to afford this BS?
Besides, personally I believe IF the climate is changing it is natural – after all – we once had a ice age. So the politicians – with their friends in the MSM – figured out how to extract money from us based on natural events.
They’re drunk with power after stealing the election for the demented, “I don’t need your votes,” FJB puppet.
Scarlett,
We’re STILL in an Ice Age! That’s why the Climate Cult of Doom is so desperate to get control of all energy sources! They know that Winter is coming and even the sheeple will be able to tell soon!
No we are approaching the end of the of the current interglacial period. it is approaching 12,000 years old which is pretty much the maximum length of an interglacial period. Of course that does not mean there will be glaciers in Miami next week but the real overall trend in climate will be toward longer winters and cooler summers. Geological data has shown however the climate can shift from mostly warm weather patterns to mostly cold weather patterns in as little as one or two human life times. We may not have 1 or 2 thousand years till we are in a full blown ice age.
So how does this relate to the current situation with Russia? The Russians have never believed the Global Warming fairy tale. They believe climate is cyclic and controlled by the sun, variations in the earths orbit and tilt and other forces in the solar system that make human effects inconsequential. The Russian believe that we ae headed into a cold cycle as the next ice age approaches. The Ukraine is the bread basket of Russia, and as the climate of the world cools and glaciers grow the Ukraine becomes very important for food and energy production in Russia. Add to that the military and historical implications of the region to Russia one can see why Putin is so determined to control the Ukraine or at a minimum insure the government of the Ukraine is very supportive of Russia.
My view of the geopolitics of an astonishing shifting ‘axis’ away from the West/Europe/US — is actually that Russia/Putin has increasingly become more independent, industrious and staunchly protective of its sovereignity/history/culture.
Regarding Ukraine and wheat:
https://www.rbth.com/business/332948-russia-leading-wheat-exporter
“How Russia Became the World’s LEADING Exporter of Wheat”
So here’s how I see it: Warn-weary Ukraine — with a government-backed (Kiev) Western side; the disputed territories on the Eastern/Russian border side; and the third population group stuck in the middle — hasn’t been able to sustain their ‘bread-basket’ production/status.
Not able to depend upon Ukrainian wheat exports (sabotage, etc.), Russia/Putin revitalized its own agricultural production. Jobs, machine development, national pride, sustainability and independence.
Ditto for the Russian pipeline that went through Ukraine for Europe/the West… but was fraught with politics, oligarchy, increasing “transfer fees”, sabotage.
German private industry,( sanctioned by Angela Merkel), contracted, developed and built with Russia/Putin the Nordstream II pipeline to assure continuous energy supplies to Europe. Hypocrites much?
— Ryn
All of what you say is true. Because Putin does not believe the Global Warming fairy tale but instead believes Russia is headed to a period of longer cooler winters and cooler, possibly dryer summers it will become harder to maintain food production in Russia so the Ukraine and its problems become even more of a concern to him. This will cause him to act sooner rather than later.
Putin –interesting to observe. He does tell his people exactly what he is doing and why in those 4-hour speeches. Same with foreign policy … redlines.
Russia will protect its borders/waters/sovereignty in the Arctic … way ahead of energy development, fisheries, etc.
Space, aerospace … US/NATO/EU sanctions against Russia have all backfired into opportunities for Russia’s own development/industries/R&D.
Axis solidifying with India, SE Asia, Japan and yes, China — Putin has many options.
The Climate Hoax was the first major politicization of science. The China Virus is the 2nd.
They both were accomplished the same way. Defund the dissenters then cancel them on social media.
I have been waiting for some conservative talking head to point this out.
Only the Godless worry about such matters as climate change.
Only the Godless think they have the kind of power to control.
By contrast those with faith know God is not like men who are known to be irresponsible and rarely manage their affairs.

WHAT do YOU BELIEVE ???
I will listen to the guy without an ivy league degree.
The Progressive-Marxist criminal scum always accuse their political opponents of exactly what they are doing. It’s their playbook and this is no different.
The Podesta e-mails contain a reference of Russia having embarrassing information on HRC, and probably others. These people are so compromised they will do anything, regardless of the consequences to the USA, to protect themselves and their crooked gains from exposure.
Taking orders from a criminal cabal is a survival strategy for FJB to keep himself and his whole corrupt family out of prison. It’s kind of like the choice the drug cartels would give people in their way: gold or lead?
Biden doesn’t give a flying rat’s ass about the impact of his policies … just as long as he gets his 10% cut.
#FJB
There has never been a more dangerous man with his finger on the button. He knows he’s near his own end of life … so why not go out … and take America out with him in one last great flash of light?
Oh, you don’t think it could happen?
Well no, I don’t actually.
He doesn’t ACTUALLY have a button; he gives an ORDER to a General, and IF that general obeys the order, the general then relays that order, with a confirmation code, to the guys that actually have their fingers on buttons.
They wouldn’t have followed that order if PDJT had given it, and won’t if Brandon does, unless we were under nuke attack, and then maybe.
IMHO
And so it begins….somebody wanted something so bad that they were willing and able to rig the 2020 election. What else are “they” willing to do with no concern for the consequences? This is no longer a crazy malevolent geezer on his last legs, this is now seriously insane and incredibly destructive to us and to our country.
These insane communists will allow the nuclear destruction of the US because it will create unicorns and heaven on earth.
The “guys who have their finger on the button” go thru an extensive verification procedure themselves before they actually turn keys not push a button.
You shouldn’t let yourself forget Biden doesn’t do doesn’t say only what he is instructed.
He can decide his flavor of ice cream for the day beyond that he does exactly what his personal teleprompter says.
In fairness, he also gets half of Hunter’s salary.
I suspect that applies to 99% of Congress and the US State Department.
Isn’t it amazing that Biden, who is obviously a soulless POS, is claiming that Putin has no soul, while being interviewed by a soulless media liar? We are living in a real life idiocracy.
The Build Back Bitter people will do anything to curtain the production, transport and consumption of “fossil fuels”, including bribing Russia with financial aid.
Should that fail, the BBBers are just fine with threatening Russia (via Ukraine re: Nordstream pipline) with a land war—over Ukrainian “territorial integrity”…even the use of nuclear weapons.
That they say nothing about (increasingly unsafe) nuclear energy tells us that they care neither for humanity nor the planet…
“More people died in Ted Kennedy’s car than died at 3 Mile Island!”
This is true. And I am reading RFK,Jr.’s book, “The Real Anthony Fauci”. Nuclear energy isn’t dangerous at all. It is safe, economical, and produces NO CO2.
RFK notwithstanding, I’ve personally lost entire family branches who lived in proximity to nuclear power plants.
Fact.
That flag was a mistake. Please ignore it.
Really Kid?
I have lived, worked, and slept for years 100 ft from operating nuclear reactors. I have many friends who have done the same. I do not buy your story.
Yep; really. Wolf Creek in Burlington, KS.
I’m glad you’re okay.
It was never OKAY to burn nuclear reactor waste in open burn pits when winds would blow it into the surrounding environs. It happened in the hills near Simi Valley , CA. Rocketdyne carelessly did it many years ago. It was hushed up. There is a danger when those atomic waste products are not handled correctly. Can they ever be handled correctly? Humans make dreadful mistakes sometimes.

Russia will not sell out their country, like the west did by denying their citizens affordable energy.
China, Russia and India have no intention of relinquishing fossil fuels for at least the next three decades.
Nuclear power plants generate ~70% of France’s electricity.
Just need a viable plan to dispose/reprocess the nuclear waste.
And it was Team Obama that pulled the US out of ITER research ( https://www.iter.org/ )
The soul-less Joe Biden told Putin that Putin didn’t have a soul???
Hypocrisy, thy name is Washington, D.C. …
KaweahKid I wonder if Joe has actually looked in a mirror lately! When I look at Joe I see “Out to Lunch” on his forehead. He is extremely dangerous to the nation.
I guess it would’t actually be hypocrisy for a reptilian or a clone to tell Putin that Putin doesn’t have a soul.
At least ol’ Vlad is human, as far as I know.
Putin has ZERO tolerance for the LGBTQq+/- … which is why the Left loves the “no soul” nonsense. It’s why the Left has chosen Putin as their enemy #1
How ironic that the Geysteppo will end up getting us ALL killed in the great Nuclear WAR with Russia … because Putin didn’t bend over, grab his ankles, and present himself to the gay lobby
Actually, I read up on Nellie Ohr, and her views are a reflection of the marxists embedded in gov.
They HATE Putin; they are called “Stalin apologists” as their position is “yes, Stalin DID kill 40 million of his own people, but,…”
They see Putin as the same as the Czar; he is a NATIONALIST, and has no interest in the marxist goal of no borders, one World Conmunist government.
He wants to “Make Russia Great Again”, seriously.
Yes, I concur. He is one of the last people standing in the way of their global dictatorship, and as such, between patriotic American citizens and gas chambers.
Sovereignty vs Globalism is the issue. Sadly, Russia is more sovereign than the US at this point, and they know Putin is blocking their agenda of global hegemony.
Putin has spoken out many times about the NWO types.
The leftists manufacture enemies as needed! With their evil and disgusting thinking, they will just keep the RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA narrative alive. It worked for them. Will it continue to work now? Never let defending the Ukraine border go to waste. So much evil.
That is why Joe Biden is President (sort of). I am certain this Nuland woman and George Soros are best friends.
I would trade Vlad Putin for F’n Joe in a heartbeat or any Dem for that matter!
I’m inclined to agree…There’s no way Putin would let Russia get into the morass that the U.S. is in, but then there’s the whole Ezekiel 38k thing…
I highly doubt that little soul anecdote is factual.
Biden lies, even when he doesn’t have to.
Biden has always been a stupid bully and a narcissist. I hate watching him side step up beside a woman and poke her with his elbow like he’s the cutest thing that ever existed.
I hate it ALMOST as much as I did watching Obama jog down the steps of Air Force One with his hands and elbows bouncing up and down.
Alzheimers will finish making Biden worse and MEANER. I’m afraid we are in for a rough ride while he finishes destroying America.
I prefer watching Putin riding horseback.
My personal ship is already going down.
“So when it comes to threats, like Russia annexing even more of Ukraine as a strategic objective”
They did annex Crimea, but it has historically been part of Russia. They also had an election (referendum) where 90% of the people of Crimea voted to go with Russia. Now maybe there was some voter, fraud but it was dwarfed by what America had in 2020.
“Meanwhile the NATO partners who *claim* to be worried about Russia (they’re really not)”
Which brings up the obvious question – why should we be worried about the Russians or the “NATO partners” for that matter?
“… Now maybe there was some voter fraud …”
Correct … CIA Hammer & Scorecard … the same program they gave to the RATS.
We protect them from Russia, they don’t pay us as agreed, meanwhile they buy oil and gas from Russia. They need to get themselves squared away and we need to stay out of Europe’s problems.
Amen
Napoleon Bonaparte lost the war invading a country like Russia who could stand
Extreme harsh weather !!!
Here in US people can’t stand “words like :white, male, female,gun,borders,
Constitution,truth…
Now the U.S. Government makes threats that Ukraine will join NATO, so the U.S. can institutionalize the graft to
politicians we have seen up to now. Putin will not have it. Putin: ” We want legal guarantees that Ukraine will not
become a part of NATO and that no weapons that can threaten Russia will be sent there. If we cannot get such
guarantees we will go in and secure them ourselves.”
We started the problems in Ukraine folks. Not Russia.
Sorry about the formatting. Old guy.
Biden,Inc. will continue to show the world what idiots they are…until they feel the pain that Americans are feeling ,daily. And when that happens they will cry like babies, and cower like the cowards they are. I hope I live to see THAT day!
I predict we will do absolutely nothing.
I know I’m not going over the wall first–because nobody would back me up.
The only thing not broadcast from the fake zoom call between the Demented Fraud and Putin was the amount of kickbacks Putin is paying the Criminally Corrupt Kenyan and his puppet the Demented Fraud.
I think you’re absolutely right. But it ain’t “we”, it biden. He will do Nothing. Lol…..we’ll go over the wall together!
Nope … like the Clintons & Obamas – he’ll be in a great big, walked off and heavily guarded mansion.
And yet many people don’t think Trump was deposed.
Trump wasn’t deposed as much as the American People were deposed. Truth be told, formerly free people in Germany, Australia, UK, NZ, Italy, France etc were deposed.
.
Ukraine is a center of money laundering for U.S. politicians, bureaucrats, cronies.
Bingo. You win post of the day. This is the main reason for the swamps concern.
Well then … Pompeo didn’t get HIS cut yet?
More like he wants to keep his cut coming in.
It’s like a gang turf war.
George Soros is the head of this snake. When the color Revolution happened in Ukraine Soros was sitting in the former Presidents office.
Bain Capital has an office in Kiev. Paul Pelosi, Jr. was involved in some type of venture there too.
And weren’t Adam Schiff and a couple other Congress critters shown to own stock in a company that was investing the various energy companies that employed H. Biden, P. Pelosi etc …
(or did that get debunked?)
Nice rinse cycle of money grub staked by US tax payers.
Build back better and the Great reset means that you have to destroy something first in order to rebuild it. Someday more people will wake up to that dystopian reality, but by that time it will be too late.
This was one of Tuckers best monologues if not his best. Hopefully millions have been red-pilled after watching.
Tucker revealed to his audience that the person driving the insane push for war inside the Biden administration is noted Neo-Con Victoria Nuland. It was Nuland who was behind the overthrow of a democratically elected Ukrainian president in 2013 during the Obama/Biden administration.
I suspect most Americas are completely unware of the fact that their own country was behind the overthrow of the democratically elected Viktor Yanukovych and that the U.S. partnered with actual Neo-Nazi’s to get the job done .
Tucker was not afraid to call out all the braindead republicans (usual suspects) who are also promoting this insane push to nuclear war. When Doug MacGregor pointed out that Russia was a Christian country Tucker replied that maybe that is the reason why they want to destroy Russia. This would not surprise me when you see who in the Biden administration is promoting this insanity.
Hopefully Tucker changed lots of minds tonight. Unfortunately Americans have been bombarded with anti-Russian propaganda for so long that it will be hard to convince Americans that there is no reason whatsoever for Americans to view Russians as enemies in fact they should be viewed as allies.
Nuland is right out of a post-2000 production of Dr. Strangelove.
(Oops, ad hominem slipped out again)
The Keiv Rus are the origin of the Russian people. Ukraine has been associated with Russia for 1,000 years.
Ukraine wanted relations with Europe as well as with it’s neighboring countries, including Russia. Nuland, the Atlantic Council, et al demanded an exclusive relationship between Ukraine and Europe, so they overthrew the Ukrainian government and installed a compliant one. “Yats, he’s our guy” Nuland was also involved in the Arab Spring overthrows.
Likely so.
“Arab Spring” … hasn’t that word been BANNED out of embarrassment by the Left?
Soon, they’ll be banning all discussion of Ukraine.
Their abject failures cannot be spoken
For crying out loud. Biden’s henchmen/women are truly evil. The retreaded they/them/its from Obama keep on ticking. Someone take out their batteries. We gotta burn their playbook. My head spins each time someone references past events and connects it to present. Now I know why the powers that be wanted to legalize pot. It’s harder to connect the dots when you are always high.
I hope Tucker has security.
John McCain and Lindsey Graham were in and out of Ukraine like it was a grocery store. We send tons of money and aid, they launder it and send large amounts back to line pockets of government officials. We will do everything to prop up that money mill. Ukraine = Corruption that is compatible with our corruption. it’s a huge cash machine.
McCain rallied protestors in Keiv. Imagine a politboro member rallying blm/antifa protestors. This is the same McCain that armed AQ/IS.
Never go Full-Manchurian.
Ya lost me when ya brought Tucker Carlson from commie FOX into the discussion! Don’t listen to traitors!
Tucker is better than nothing.
The EU better be concerned. They are about to have a million refugees if Russia invades more of the Ukraine.
Nah, they’re not going to let anyone in that looks white.
Well, the Ukraine girls really knock them out …

Mark Levin had a good segment wih Ric Grenell on this topic on his radio show today. Ric started with “well, Biden has already giving Putin the pipeline” and went on from there.
Any comment from Lootinennnttt Kerrrnelll Vidddmannnn on the defense of his beloved Ukraine ? Any phone calls we should know about ? Is Biden withholding support ? Does CIAramella have anything to blow a whistle about ?
Lootinennnttt Kerrrnelll Vidddmannnn has already awarded himself
2 34 more rows of ribbons.Putin already checkmated Nullens Nazi army by keeping the Crimea which happened to be the globalist MICs main objective.
When that failed they marched to the “Dombass” the region that borders Russia proper, these people’s are tough Orthodox Christians and consider themselves more Russian than Ukrainian. The area is rich in mining and minerals, this was objective “B”Putin opened the whole border allowing the now formed ” Freedom Fighters” access to both military and medical aid without sending Russian Troops across the border which would of been seen as an act of war.
It must be said that the Dombass people are working class and had no set Army, well they kicked arse defeating nulands cabal.
Now they are dug in and have structure.
I’m on Putin’s side with this one . like Trump he done everything to avoid escalations .
Concur. Soros & Co. want the Russian government just like they have captured the American government.
It would be great if Putin were reading here.
Remember, leftists telegraph their intentions thru PROJECTION; Whatever they are doing or intending to do, they accuse their opponents of.
They accused PDJT of being “Putins puppet”.
How many pieces of Hunter’s ‘art’ were bought by Putin straw buyers, and for how much, with 10 percent to the big guy?
I think while the commies in Congress are all wound up over Russia, China is going to grab Taiwan.
Yup, there’s a reason “suddenly” Ukraine “needs” our full attention . . .
Damn it used to be the credit card companies in Delaware now it’s the neocons in the state department.
Mariupol and the subsequent control of the Sea of Azov has been a target for the Russians for many years; although Mariupol is one of the world’s worst polluted locations (not quite up to the level of the Dirty Thirty but close). A limited incursion would easily wrench control of that region from the Ukrainians, secure the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait. If a larger move is in the plans, then I think the Russians would want to advance to eastern banks of the Dnepr River so that the cities of Donetsk, Zaporozhe, Lugansk, Kharkov, Poltava, and most of the Kherson region would all be securely behind Russian lines. The real play, for me, is Odessa and the adjunct territory of Bessarabia (Budzhak). With Turkey beginning work on the Istanbul Canal project connecting the Sea of Marmara with the Black Sea and skirting the Bosporus, the potential of LNG processing in Odessa (a project which the Ukrainians have apparently shelved, but which the Russians are interested in) becomes more attractive to the Russians. If Odessa and the Bessarabia area (south of Moldova) becomes Russian, the Romanians (a NATO member) would have a s**t-fit. But…
Here’s what Putin has to say about globalism, (crony) capitalism, and the degradation of American culture. It is frightening to think of Biden and Putin competing intellectually.
…us politicians ,insane leaders: we will defend Ukraine ???????how about defend your own country USA from within your country.
Please don’t use the words “President” and “Biden” together. It is not only untrue, it is offensive.
The US will be under full Authoritarian Communist Rule by 2034. You will own nothing, and you will be told that you are happy.
Nuclear is on the table. Seriously! So what do these people think nuclear weapons would do to the climate? Have they not seen images of Japan? These are the same people who think cow farts and auto emissions are causing climate change.
Foolishness!
I hear echoes of “cut it out.”
“Agent Biden; this is Beijing Central Command. If you can hear us in your earphone, wave your hand now.”
Exactly!!
Russia is a distraction from China. Always has been, always will be. And yes, our European NATO allies such as Germany are as trustworthy as Erdogan’s Turkey or Pakistan.
The problem with the Russo-Ukrainian conflict is that both Ukrainians and Russians are essentially the same people. The Ukrainians who in the recent years got used to play the part of the unsuspected victims of Russian aggression don’t like to talk about their fundamental, formative role in the Soviet Union played alongside Russians, which included their active participation in supression of dissidents and creation of the famous internment camps (gulags). In fact, in the Soviet hierarchy, Ukrainians have always been considered the co-equal partners of the Russians majority (founders) and were trusted to take on the leading roles in the Soviet economy and one-party political system. Thus, being an ethnic Ukrainian in the Soviet Union had some notable advantages such as unlimited and unobstructed access to any prestigious institution of higher education (typically located in Moscow and St. Petersburg), advanced career opportunities (CEO’s of large state corporations, Communist Party apparatchiks, elected and unelected government officials, KGB and other intelligence officers, diplomats, high-ranking law enforcement officers, prosecutors, tenured professors, TV anchors, movie and TV actors) and foreign travel.
That said, America will be better off not to interfere in a domestic squabble such as the Russo-Ukrainian conflict and instead focus on China and how to limit the role of the CCP in our domestic and global economies.
My very complex, academic comment…
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
…without a vision,
the people will perish.
Principles or policies ( based on lobbying or payment $ to, or from, politician$ …miss using the taxes of people’s earnings)
without consistent moral fibers / virtues,
result in illogical situations and weaknesses that are exploitable ( at further Huge costs to people ).
Nothing new.
Yet, with selfishne$s,
some people are very slow in the learning curve, or refu$e to learn or arrogantly miss think they already know….
The hypocracy of people talking sovereign borders for a country on the other side of the world,
while ignoring sovereign borders and health of their homeland i$ a mi$s leading tell….that the media largely ignore$….( except tucks token comments in a non- election year / month / day ).
Imho ( pending the censor$ )
p s.
has anyone noticed the relative quietness of dc politicians in 2021 ( amongst a lot of issues? )
..hmmm….
Send Ms Linsey and the Capital police over to the front lines. Linsey can command the CP when to fire their weapons.
Have Crenshaw, Little Crying Adam and Liz Cheney airdropped into action too. They love wars so much.
How does brain dead Biden think he’s going to enter this war that Victoria Nuland wants? He’s screwed and diminished the military with his vaccine dictates.
War is the ultimate collective punishment. When popularly elected governments represent their people, and are responsive to the voters or get removed, they avoid wars that destroy their countries. When the vote is corrupted, and the government is unresponsive to the people, they make fertile grounds for war. Think about the wars of the past. How many were instigated by governments that were not representing their people? How many were tyrannical? How many of those governments had free and fair elections.
When you think about it, the low IQ folks running the elections in Atlanta, Philly, AZ, WI really made an impact! Think global act local—global nuclear war, global plandemic, global reset.
These people are criminally insane. To use a term the left has abused: rigged elections are an “existential threat”. Period.
Tucker’s outrage over the possibility of Biden launching a “Hot War” with Russia seems a little disingenuous, considering that Biden is simultaneously being called weak and feckless (which he is)
The reality is that Biden won’t launch a war. He’s far more likely to send a “Sternly Written” form letter to Vlad, and then to send bagman Hunter over to collect bribes to allow the annexation of Ukraine.
PDJT was strong and kicked Russia and China around through ecenomic leverage. That’s where DementiaJoetato should be. Instead, Joetato goes straight to military threats. Weak, stupid, and a tactical blunder. And Putin and Xi are laughing at him and all of us.
FJB
This is also partly to rehabilitate their (Dems) image,,, see, Russia is bad! They can’t yell about Russian collusion for 4 years and let the truth get out. Portraying Russia as bad means they can use Russia again to harass future presidents.
It’s an attempted narrative change for 22.
Let’s stop using communist labels, shall we? First off, any political party with Green or Democratic in its name is, in reality, the New Communist Party. Global warming (or cooling) sure, been going on since creation of an atmosphere; man interfering? Absent widespread nuclear explosions? No way. The myth that curtailing fossil fuel use will ‘help’ the climate is a direct attack on the USA economy by COMMUNISTS.
Simple truths.
Wherever the wicked go death destruction and chaos is close behind.
They have no constructive purpose, no profitable motivation they only desire mayhem and chaos.
And this lust to exert power as we can see is extremely contagious as now everyone in positions of power are craving after war
This RUS / UKR border build up strikes me as a narrative change in DC to deflect from Biden’s failures. Really all of DCs failures.
To the people (well, one on here :/ ) trying to step on Nuclear power…
Quit lying. You don’t have families dead from it. Stop your nonsense babble.
It is the the safest, cleanest and most constant power available. Our nuke plants in the U.S. are approaching (and some ARE) over 50 years old, now.
Here in Phoenix: we power NOT just AZ- but, also California. Nevada. New Mexico. Texas. and more!!! With a plant built in the 1970s. Imagine what we could build NOW- in the 2020s, FIFTY years later!! With micro-chip design, new hybrid-alloys, MODERN tech…
And you know what California does- they cry. About how bad nuclear power is. Hypocrisy²
Ask yourselves: what would they say if we cut them off in the middle of summer, during the fires?
Here’s one to tell your ‘OMG nukes!!!’ friends so you can watch heads explode in frustration:
The plant in Phoenix (Palo Verde) is cooled by… recycled sewage water. DEAD serious. It is cooled by running Phoenix’ sewage down a LONG trench out there (a mountainside, to filter ‘hard’ stuff). How’s THAT for green energy?? The Army Corps of Engineers designed/built it… in the ’70s. When leaded gas was still big.
And one last one- nuclear plants run at 90%+ capacity, ALWAYS. EVERY weather- cloudy, hot cold, etc. ALWAYS. By DESIGN. They keep working. The worst plant disasters in U.S. history are all- ALL- non-nuclear.
Remember the one in Texas that burned for a MONTH, just 2 years back?
Probably no worse than all the solar panels taking over the whole countryside of North Carolina. Farmers renting or selling their fields to solar panel companies and they are growing like they’ve been fertilized. You can see them for miles and miles.
My problem with nuclear power is the waste. We have no clue how to ‘undo’ fission nor how to safely dispose of waste for the millions of years needed to render the waste safe.
My Dad was a rocket scientist who believed in a science-powered human future. Even he was not fond of nukes because of the deadly, ELE posed by waste disposal and the fact we don’t know how to undo fission–can’t put the genie back in the bottle.
Fukushima still spews radioactive water into the Pacific, and likely will until the Sun supernovas. Chernobyl will routinely need another Ark for as long.
Do you think humans living even 300 years from now will try to mitigate these disasters? No. They will have forgotten and the Earth will be poisoned further by man’s arrogance and folly.
Except that now they would be built by cheap foreign labor to keep the wages down.
Faux is going to have to do something with Tucker. “How dare he!” name names! He makes ‘Hey, Sean Hannity here, hey’ look like a deep stater. So weak.
I think our government knows that Russia has no intention of attacking the Ukraine, so our government officials feel perfectly safe in saying that we will send soldiers there if Russia attacks. It is all for domestic consumption. IMO, the Russians are just going to sit back and watch Ukraine disintegrate. But….. the problem is the Ukrainians.
If the Ukrainians attack the eastern provinces, the Donbas region, the Russians will respond militarily and that will be a fast end to Ukraine. What will the US do then? The Russians will not have attacked Ukraine; they will have defended the millions of Russians that live in the eastern provinces. Most everybody that lives there speaks Russian and is ethnically Russian; many have Russian passports.
Ukraine is not a member of NATO. I do not see any NATO countries sending troops to Ukraine to assist Ukraine if the Ukrainians attack the eastern provinces, so we are off the hook there. Think sanctions.
Putin just laughs in Biden’s face about his BS rant. He knows Biden is weak, demented, and powerless to do anything about what Putin does.
Do not let your children join any branch of the. military under the current leadership. They will chew them up for no reason whatsoever and they might even order them to fire on American civilians.
And, of course, there are Republicans who will go along with this Russia thing. These are mostly the same people who were fine with impeaching Trump, as they called him a war monger, even though he was fighting tooth and nail to get us out of these endless wars.
Wny not. I mean, I hear that the money tree the Usurper has growing on the white house lawn is in full bloom, so why not spread the wealth.
Putin laughs at the fraud on the screen, who’s pretending to be something he’s not. But then again, Putin has seen this game plan farce before, when the kenyan was disgracing the office.
President Trump provided military weapons (not just MREs, as Obama did) to Ukraine. Did that make him a ‘neo-con’? I’m confused.
Note that “neo-con” is an abused term by many on this site…ignore the supposed insults when the term is used. There are more than a few people, even here on CTH, who hide their ignorance and in ability to comment intelligently behind worn out cliches and monikers, like neo-con.
Think for yourself and focus on strategic outcomes and end states, when comparing policies.
For example:
From 2017 to 2020: Russians left the Ukraine alone and their Pipeline to the EU was seen as a major financial risk. Russain Finances were tenuous and vulnerable. Nearly as important Sock Puppet JoeBama was exposed and possibly worse and Big Guys did not get their 10%.
From 2020 to 2021: Russian PIPELINES are being built and in operation to the EU, the Big Guys are getting their 10% and the Ukraine has become a potential Czechoslovakia 1938 repeat to preserve “world peace in our time”.
Trump was not about to send your son or daughter to die for the Ukraine , useful idiot. People like you called him a war monger when he was the exact opposite, to the point that he was actually making real and lasting peace deals in the ME. You all hated his guts for that.
So…according to a collection of headlines across the MSM and this article:
Sock Puppet JoeBama threatens Russia via access to assets the US does not control; pipeline to the EU as winter is starting and SWIFT run by international banks.
Then sends money to the Russians for a pipeline project, he and Hunter get paid to support.
Meanwhile, India is moving back towards their old business partner from the 1950-60’s, Russia (USSR), undoing all the diplomatic work to bring them closer to the US, also in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood favoring governments in the region.
The great diplomatic reset to 2016 continues apace with the rest of the US to 2016.
Putin didn’t even hit the mute button as he laughed.
Biden should be prosecuted for treason.
