There is really only one question that matters at the heart of the U.S. position toward Ukraine and NATO. It was asked halfway through the press conference with Jennifer Psaki today.
“Considering that NATO allies have not held up their own agreement to spend 2 percent of their own GDP on their military preparedness … if Europeans are not willing to expend their own blood and treasure on their own self-defense why should Americans be expected to do so?”
Spoiler Alert… The White House could not answer the question. Jen Psaki hemmed, hawed, and attempted to use verbal linguistics to assemble previously over-used soundbites, but she could not -and did not- answer that question. WATCH:
.
‘Nuf said.
The honest answer would be… We, in the Biden and Obama administration, are doing all this stuff in Ukraine, for Ukraine and under the auspices of protecting Ukraine, because a whole bunch of us from both political parties in/around the DC beltway – along with our families – receive massive amounts of personal financial wealth from the DC money laundering operation of foreign aid money in/around Ukraine.
That’s the real answer, and the reason Psaki cannot reconcile the easiest question publicly. The NATO members also know that American politicians enrich themselves and their families through the laundry of foreign aid to their own bank accounts.
Detailed info about US Gov/Ukraine corruption.
Isn’t the section of Ukraine in dispute that Putin wants to occupy inhabited 95% by Russians who don’t want to be part of Ukraine?
Pretty much.
Linguistically, the lines have long been drawn.
Using that line of reasoning, shouldn’t we allow CA to be annexed by Mexico?
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. Let the Mexican government deal with the lunatics in Sacramento.
You know that sounds like a great idea!
. self deleted, wrong spot, I have too many CTH windows opened!
It’s a thought.
Haven’t you noticed. We have already and the population has grown steadily over the past year.
That state contains the largest collection of absolute useless underwear skid marks in the country. Let them have it.
eastern part of glorious ukraine ..donets/luhan republics wanna have much more indenpendence….
I agree. Let’s give California back to Mexico.
Psaki, “ Let me circle back on that…”
It’d save taxpayers a boat load.
Come and take it. No, really. Please!
That is the problem with mixed ethnicity states in general and why Globalization, as it presently being forced upon us, it is doomed to fail along with the EU project.
The sentiment in the UK changed when Hitler broke-up Czechoslovakia after annexing the German inhabited Sudeten lands. But when the question was posed to the people, Czechoslovakia no longer exists today… the same with Yugoslavia, USSR, British India and splintering Africa today:
We will have 100 Countries in Africa – Past, Present and Future of Pan Africanism
How do you unite to be powerful and at the same time tolerate different points of view? Up until a decade or so ago, the United States Constitution succeeded; until the progressives decided it was an impediment.
So quite possibly the United States will follow Yugoslavia and the USSR?
It hasn’t been???
Maybe we could help Mexico with that in exchange for help with the wall across Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and the Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon border with California.
I think actually, we should move the border 1,000 miles south. They all want to be here anyway. Amazing coastline all the way down to Cabo.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner!
After the Soviets invaded Ukraine, they starved Ukrainians almost to extinction. Like all conquerors, they put their people into power for decades until the fall of Communism (supposedly). Those Russians continue to undermine the wishes of the ethnic, Catholic Ukrainians. After a century of domination, the Russians there think they have the right to continue to associate with Russia. Hence the continued conflict in the country.
Basically it’s a mess we need to avoid.
I find it amusing that you actually think there is a difference between Russian and Ukrainian…. there isn’t other than a slight language difference…. and that is very slight at that.
True. The sensitivity to Russia of Ukraine is historical. That is, it has been the weak underbelly and the route to invasion of Russi. Donbass is mostly Russian. That (taking of Donbass) was not enough to excite Ukraine, but the taking of Crimea was. Russia has only one warmwater port and that is on the Crimean peninsula. So, understand the sensitivity that Russian people have for Ukraine is understandable. Also, Putin does not want to get into any kind of long term conflict with Ukraine because that will end very badly for him. If Brandon is going to give it to him, then why not push a little. The problem is mistakes and, as Richard Fernandez says, “bad luck”. We will be lucky to avoid conflict with the idiots we have running the show.
The Ruskies want the control of the Dnieper River. That gives them access to the Black Sea and Middle East
putin doesn’t want any of it. eastern donbass is brutally poor. russia can’t afford that mess.
That question needed to be asked of and answered by many administration’s. When I think of all the “wars”, “police actions”,etc. Americans have fought in and died, I am angry and heartbroken.
Glenn Beck understood the Ukraine’s importance to democRATS back in 2019 …

I leave to you to read what he wrote back them, noting that some of his links to prove his statements are now broken due to time. The important thing in my mind is the involvement of George Soros. Everywhere we turn these days, when examining what the other side is doing, we seem encounter Soros behind the scenes pulling strings and providing funding, be it in the US, Australia, Europe or the Ukraine. And Soros is a Fabian Socialist.
Fabian wasn’t really much of a singer.
Yeah , but he had big hair. Like Stalin.
And almost every conservative is lining up like a trained seal to push for this Soros-woke-globalist war with the dastardly Rooskies. I can’t even browse Red State anymore, the commentary on this is so inane.
zero hedge is no better. even the left is all in on war in east asia. how times have changed. in a year.
Please say you’re kidding.
Soros is funded through stolen foreign aid. We give our money to our destroyer.

Doing away with the draft weakened our military. When we had the draft, the military didn’t have to take complete idiots to make their recruiting quotas.
so you advocate for the draft again?
Sorry but the draft proved that we are not our own, but slaves of the government.
That’s cool. Put Affirmative Action grads in the cockpits of $80MM supersonic heavily armed jet aircraft. What could possibly go wrong ….
exactly what I was getting at with my comment to him
Pissaki – “sacred duty to protect our east flank allies” Whose “sacred duty”, who agreed to that?
“They” never talk about THEIR SACRED DUTY to PROTECT OUR BORDERS!!!!!
I cannot stomach these people.
Send DC in its entirety to fight………..they want the war, let them fight it.
Did I miss that in any of the founding documents?
Zelensky is really going to the matresses on FJB

he cut off his son’s money and his 10%
This is simply amazing blast!!
Here’s a better question: Since Ukraine has a total fertility rate of 1.3 (2.1 is generally considered replacement), what possible purpose is served defending a people who don’t believe in their own future enough, even, to populate it?
Same question for all of the european members of NATO, ALL of whom are below replacement?
Careful there. That’s approx the fertility rate of white liberals in the US of A.
The white liberals get their replacement from conservatives who send their children to be trained in a worldview they oppose. Liberals didn’t have to have children and most don’t.
I don’t get it. they have the most beautiful women on earth. must be something in the water.
Eastern Europe in general has ridiculously beautiful women.
Wondering about Ukraine: Did corruption ATTRACT American politicians -OR- Did corruption FOLLOW American politicians?
blob:https://theconservativetreehouse.com/bb5c84a5-cfaa-4852-b9da-d593f958fb1f
It would have to both. Bribes are only effective if they are accepted.
The knot was tied in 1994 when we paid the Ukrainian leadership to give up their nukes in return for financial support (aka bribes) and a promise of US “protection”. Ukraine has been taking US taxpayer dollars and making sure that congress got their cut ever since.
Joshua 24:15 ESV is an awesome verse.
Great post!
Glad you’re a Treeper.
“because a whole bunch of us from both political parties in/around the DC beltway – along with our families – receive massive amounts of personal financial wealth from the DC money laundering operation of foreign aid money in/around Ukraine.”
Evidence of a ‘whole bunch’ please.
We know about Hunter.
look where the three richest counties in America are and it will make sense to you . They have no manufacturing ,agriculture ,mining or oil they only have us as a cash crop and it looks lucrative for government work .
That’s not evidence of a ‘whole bunch’ corrupted by Ukraine .
The legal US bribery system for politicians called ‘lobbying’ is the source of most Senatorial wealth.
I don’t mean this harshly, but do some research. There is plenty of evidence of US politicians on both sides of the uniparty raping the USAID system for personal gain via Ukraine.
I’m not making the claim.
Making it without evidence beyond Hunter seems ……..
actually I just read somewhere ukraine is full of lithium and rare earth minerals. I will see if I can find that article again.
there are pictures out there of Miss Lindseed getting a medal
and a bunch of other lowlife congress critters
I’ve seen over the last decade of so
Just based on the photo above, on a scale of 1 to 10, how much does Psaki care about Ukraine.
Lets not forget the name Cofer Black! His connections, CIA, Bush, Mitt Romney, Hunter Biden and Burisma (Ukraine). The entire DC apparatus is corrupt.
I miss the Circle Back. Fortunately, a great am radio host here in WI plays the circle back song daily, with chosen Psaki “talking points”. What an embarrassing farce of an illegitimate regime.
I wonder if Putin knows it all?
Meaning does he know specifically which US politicians over the years have taken illegal money via Ukraine money laundering deals?
And if so I wonder if Putin has the goods, meaning does he have the hard proof, evidence and possibly the communications of these politicians alleged dealings?
He’s a smart man, I have no doubt that he has the goods, as do those in the Ukraine. Will they come clean? Highly unlikely, they’re also in on it.
Dude was KGB.
And as you can see here,
We all knew.
I’m sure he’s got plenty more on all of them.
he VVP also have proof of crime against the humanity what ukies done to civilians in feb2014-till this days….
Yes. The answer is yes.
Gave it a little more thought, wouldn’t that rock the world if Putin laid it all out. We can only hope.
Well, if Putin does have such evidence, about now would be a good time to show his cards.
there are no vaccine mandates in Russia
If Putin has the dirt on the DC corruption, he will use it to his greatest benefit.
As much as i respect Putin as leader of his country, a weakened America serves his interests quite well at this point.
There will be no altruistic rescue of the American people by Vladimir Putin.
We must rescue ourselves.
Doubtful.
They’re in on it. Ya’ll think those Euro weenies would let all that graft go on in their backyard without having a hand in it? Way too much money being passed around to NOT get into the action.
But nothing will come of it even if exposed. Our media, even if shown confessions on live TV, will ignore it or say its fake. Probably both. They already did with Biden’s confession of extorting Burisma prosecutors as VP.
Yes you can bet Putin knows all the dirt and my oh my wouldn’t it be grand if Putin just dumped it all right out there for the world to see
For the life of me, I can’t think of a SINGLE positive achievement of the Biden administration. Not one.
Why would ANYONE say they “Strongly Approve” of him? Why would anyone VOTE to give him a second term, UNLESS their goal was the complete destruction of our country?
Seriously, name ONE good thing he has achieved in his first year.
Biden did get his sorry a$$ into the Oval Office. Not saying how he did it, but there he is, nuke codes in one hand and his EO pen in the other.
Those who strongly approve of Biden are simply never Trumpers regardless of label. They would approve a rock if it was that or Trump.
We’ll probably get Harris via the 25th just after the 2 year mark so she legally, via Dominion, can be elected (installed) in 2024.
Bummer.
Hope I’m wrong.
And those same politicians will happily send Deplorables and sons and daughters of Deplorables to bleed on foreign soil to keep the good times rolling.
Not this time.
Bonus side effect: wartime presidents have better approval numbers and higher likelihood of retaining congress, historically.

FOX needs to pull Doocy in protest… and replace him with a bulldog like Dan Bongino.
Well, My wife has family and friends in Romania and every single one of them is furious at the ‘crazy old man they installed’, for possibly putting Romania at risk with this stupid Ukrainian adventure.
Some of them have said, and I agree, that the Ukrainians know full well that many US politicians are using Ukraine not just as a money-laundering hub, but as a stick to torment Putin purely for propaganda purposes. If Ukraine doesn’t have the guts to kick the Americans out, more fool it.
They seem to always project what they are going to do.
FJB said Putin could take a little bit so he will and it will be a small hot war and some of our boys will die. The projectionists will also see just how the shots will work on our troops.
During the conflict the records and the people who know things will dissappear as planned. After all it’s a war torn country.
Putin will get as much as he wants and will now be in charge of European oil and nat. gas. He’ll charge Europe more for less and the European people will have a cold hard winter.
Biden doesn’t care about Ukraine but China most certainly does care and China does not want Russia to invade Ukraine.
Volodymyr Zelensky is confident that there is not an imminent threat to Kiev, according to a source close with the Ukraine president, who blasted President Joe Biden for recalling U.S. embassy personnel from the country amid threat of Russian invasion. The source also took aim at Biden’s State Department informing American citizens in Ukraine to leave the country. “The fact that the US was the first one to announce this is extremely disappointing. Quite frankly these Americans are safer in Kiev than they are in Los Angeles or any other crime-ridden city in the U.S.,” the Zelensky source added. The source said Zelensky “does not think there’s any remotely imminent threat to Kiev”.
…safer than Los Angeles…
Ain’t it the truth!?
Also Detroit, New York, D.C., and Portland
…and my property…
My friend who lives over there is going on with his normal life, Biden & Company are escalating a big nothing burger
(for now) as a distraction for us here at home. Notice the timing of it…. all to change the MSM narrative that was turning into the real disaster we have here. They tried so hard to hide his hideous disaster of an Economy….. as it slowly leaked out, he has to divert to Russia Russia.
@ElectionWizard

CANDACE OWENS: “LOL. When the Ukrainian government comes out and tells you that the United States President and CIA are lying about what’s happening in their country. There is quite literally no Russian threat. Biden crime family is trying to expand their business empire in the region.
He is lying…. I know quite a few Ukrainians, nothing is going on over there. Biden is just using this BS as a scapegoat to change the MSM News Topics that were turning sour on him.
This is getting funnier.
Now Biden is deploying and aircraft carrier to the Med.
Do the dunces realise this is a useless gesture. Closest possible position in the Med means 800 flying miles to eastern Ukraine. That means 1600 miles return in an F18 with a bomb load outbound. The tankers are going to be busy because every flight will need an air refuel. You simply cannot sustain combat ops on that basis.
Note this is not Iraq, Russian tanks can fight at night and their man portable SAMs will make close air support errr….dangerous.
It’s part of the plan. FJB is gonna start a war 1 way or another.
All he needs is an incident or action that takes American lives.
And he’s gonna force some country that hates us or use the 4th column to do it.
Hell it’s not even him making the call.
We who have served or are serving know the logistics and understand that once again it’s all optics.
no, thats so we can get quagmired in yemen silly.
plus, isis mysteriously popped up in iraq again. so there is that. thanks cia.
Aircraft carrier is a slow obsolete high value target, like a battleship in WW2. The only reason to move it there is to risk losing it to a Russian carrier destroyer. Then US can escalate as much as they want. These people are dangerous. Biden is a buffoon, but never laugh at a drunken pilot when you are on the airplane.
Russia’s engagement with Syria may better explain this move.
Do I remember correctly?
The Soros owned crowdstrike computers are in Ukraine?
Oops.
was that yes ??
or do i mis remember?
I believe you are correct.
It is also an interesting point to consider as we examine this Gordian Knot of stupidity and corruption.
Ukraine figures large in our Derp State machinations.
I looked it up. It was actually the subject of the phone call between Pres Trump and the new Pres of Ukraine. There were lots of people listening on the call (legit and not). He asked the new Pres to investigate crowdstrike. The ‘establishment’ panicked.
They now had a double edged sword. On one hand, how to stop Trump – well, lets impeach. Oh – how do we stop testimony in the Senate trial?
Well, you know the result of all that.
But – ‘they’ though the problem was dead and buried. This Ghost is rising.
Don’t ‘cha just LOVE it!
Perfect phone call prompted perfect panic!
This phantom has surely been living in their heads as does PDJT, rent free.
While Kompromat is forever, disappearing troublesome persons can be useful, and the fog of war can hide many such erasures.
You may be onto something here.
she didn’t answer any questions. nothing but word salad talking points over and over. this administration needs to be fact checked constantly by an english proffessor with a minor in grammar.
An intelligent 5th grader could do it.
’Stupid son of a …’: Biden doesn’t like question from Fox News reporter – YouTube
And Brandon doesn’t want to answer questions about inflation- calls Deucy a stupid SOB on hot mike…LOL
Man, you’re having a great day when you are called a “stupid son of a bitch” by a corrupt, senile politician. Wow – just WOW
President Biden was heard calling a Fox reporter a “stupid son of a bitch” on a hot microphone following a White House event
https://cnn.it/33FKQuV
This is why the republican run senate did not allow any witnesses to the Biden corruption in PDJT’s impeachment trial.
They all do what the Bidens did.
They could not let the money laundering scheme get exposed to the American public.
Bingo.
Is it still a war if bumbles starts it and no one shows up to do the fighting? All the Russians need to do is nuke Martha’s Vineyard and that’s the end of that. Please, Russia, do the world a favor and nuke Martha’s Vineyard.

We should all remember that, just a few years ago, the Ukranians elected a fresh-faced young President on their own version of a “drain the swamp” ticket. I’m sure that the actual people of that country are also thoroughly sick of just how many countries – most specifically including the United States, unfortunately – have taken advantage of them. They have dealt with “Joe” and his equally-worthless son, as well as Pelosi and many others, many times before. Every one of which was running an international money-laundering operation on their soil, and very much want to continue doing so.
I don’t think the Current President over there likes Democrat Criminals. He better watch out, or Biden will be installing a new Point man for the Crime Family.
peppermint patty is as corrupt as they come
Uh, uh…. how many… uh… times can… uh… someone say…um… “Uh” in one conversation?
Obam A wrote her lines
“The NATO members also know that American politicians enrich themselves and their families through the laundry of foreign aid to their own bank accounts.”
This point, to which no lefty will address [other than calling your ‘racists’], is never mentioned and not in the thought process of most Americans [even those paying attention]. The Euros 100% know, have paper trails, bank accts, etc., of the $millions$ in bribes paid to Biden. Why do you think they excluded the US from the EU-Russia summit on Ukraine that’s about to happen? They already know he bought.
So now Ukraine is “our eastern flank??!! We have a sacred obligation?!!
Who knew?!
Because borders matter SO much to this junta.
Russia ranks number 2 in America’s oil imports. Canada is number 1. Why?
Our NATO ally Germany will not authorize our NATO ally Estonia from selling weapons they bought from Germany to Ukraine. Why?
America has 35,000 American military personnel plus American families in Germany instead of, say…Poland. Why?
Most of our NATO “allies” who currently don’t, and never have paid their “fair share” EXPECT Americans to spill blood, guts, and treasure for them. Why?
I’m a frustrated America first kinda guy, just kinda venting.
From my perspective, America is in BFT (Big Trouble), so why can’t we just take care our own first this go around?
💪✝️🙏✝️💪
Should biden fart in the wrong direction, Putin turns off the Russian oil spigot [#2 supplier to USA].

Now its gone.
Good times.
Ukraine Finance Ministers sued the US Treasury to replace the funds that were legally appropriated by Congress but was stolen and never helped Ukraine. The US Treasury Department responded by placing the Ukraine plaintiffs on the sanctions list.
Wait! I thought they just made their millions in the stock market?
They base stock purchases on legislation they pass to favor various industries?
(Sarcasm).
Todays market was interesting…. since Piglosi bought Nvidia recently…. it had a downward swing and back up of around 10%.
The numbers being mentioned suggest this is kabuki warfare. 5,000 troops equals a bayonet strength of maybe 1,400, given the US Army’s tooth to tail ration, which provides little more than a speed bump. Air support is nowhere near the levels needed to fight a high intensity conflict against a second tier adversary (or near-peer, if you want to be diplomatic) such as Russia, as are the inventory levels of PGM’s. For Russia’s part the last thing they want people to see is their ageing tank fleets wrecked with their supply columns lighting their way home!
If Putin really has 127,000 troops staioned it’s a huge drain on his resources and budget, even if Biden is helpfully pushing up the cost, per barrel, and then buying the stuff. Kabuki distraction from the collapse on the Democratic Home front, now with a stock market collapse opening up a new front and Covid revelations gathering steam.
5000 Troops could be used to overthrow the current President…. he should be aware of Biden.
How about this little detail; The Ukraine is not a member of NATO.
Great Scott!! Just checked, I never knew that…thank you, Shamus! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Reparations for financing the Obiden junta?
Yet it so aspires.
Not a good idea, frankly.
Poor Jen. I suppose the only way this despicable wretch sleeps at night is to look at her bank statement…the money eases her conscience, apparently–one which I doubt she possesses.
What an execrable, repugnant political hack.
Why can’t someone investigate the personal finances of someone like Jen Psaki and her family? I have always thought those lower on the totem pole would be easier to snag to prove receipt of such funds.
Someone like Pelosi, even though everyone knows is probably well-secured with blind trusts, off shore accounts and the like.
Pelosi makes her big money from the Donors…. it’s easier to hide that way.
Note to citizens of Keev: do not be standing in your driveway with your seven kids when “Bomber” Biden needs to look tough with a drone strike. Fair warning.
We cannot stop a President from going to war if he thinks that will help turn his political fortunes around. This is just a sad fact of life since the President was given first strike capability in a wartime situation. Another sad usurping of the limitations on war powers of the President in our Constitution. Turns out that our founders had the right ideas about 240 years ago.
so here is the THING.
lets assume the EU does meet (or hypothetically they have met) the 2 percent “obligation”.
what does that actually mean?
funding nato and eu military does not solve the issue of WILL POWER to counter the russia threat.
In fact, it would be money spent unwisely for all practical matters.
of what use is a well resources, trained, and equipped military is there is no serious political or even citizen interest in resisting the upcoming overthrow or a sovereign state?
Germany and the rest of the EU has made it’s decisions with the nortstream line. They WANT the NGas. It solves their energy demands at a much better price than importing from the US …they KNEW this. They took the economic position from a bottom line basis and now they are faced with the predicted instability of the region by locking arms with russia.
The moment that this war begins, they will experience a major supply drop of NG from russia. That’s all part of the plan, of course it is. Russia is not stupid. They KNOW exactly how to manipulate energy markets. And now that they have secured the dependence of Germany and the EU, they WILL THROW AROUND THEIR WEIGHT.
Germany will understand very soon, the bed they have made.
And what will the response by the administration be to solve the EU energy crisis?
There are no good options. Even if the natural gas industry in the US WERE to restore itself and insane EO’ set by the obiden administraton were to be lifted, it would take years to make a difference.
And if that is attempted, russia will simply dump cheap natural gas into the market…as they have done successfully at least twice in recent years.
This IS the problem now.
Yes, I agree the politicos and officials have created this mess here in the US….in no small way, that blame is shared by an agenda of both the US obiden administration and the merkel crew and others to mismanage energy on purpose.
I can guarantee you this: every single one of them likely has big huge stakes in the energy futures markets as well hedging the specific military weapons systems contractors …so they will fund approaching that 2 percent, AND see the collapse of the us and global energy markets specifically in the ngas sector. They will get a two fer. No doubts about it.
meanwhile, russia wins the race to dominate the energy sector.
game over.
game over man.
