The dynamic between the Joe Biden administration and the government of Ukraine is very interesting and thoroughly corrupt. President Volodymyr Zelensky is trying to avoid being the 2022 version of Libyan President Muammar Gadaffi, circa 2011.
Meanwhile, the entirety of the corrupt and manipulative Joe Biden administration, the U.S. State Department, the CIA, the Pentagon and the U.S. Congress are all saying, “Nice country you got there, it’d be a shame if something happened to it“, while simultaneously poking the Russian bear to attack. Biden and the deepest state want them their proxy war, and they will not be denied.
Following a phone call last night where Zelensky told Biden to stop telling everyone the Russians were going to attack, a conversation the Biden administration desperately is trying to hide from the American people, Zelensky smartly calls a media press conference so the global media can see him telling Biden, in essence, to ‘chill the hell out’.
Full credit to Euronews who is being an honest broker about the dynamics at play. This is a great encapsulation, but pay attention to the part at 02:15, of this broadcast. It is quite remarkable.
.
Given the nature of how corrupt the U.S. administration is on a globalist scale; and considering that Biden Inc, which is really the Hillary Clinton foreign policy establishment, would give Zelensky the full Gaddafi treatment if it helped them gain wealth, power and influence; it really would be in Ukraine’s best interest for Zelensky to open a dialogue with Vladimir Putin.
Right now, on a geopolitical scale, Volodymyr Zelensky is more akin to Kim Jong-un in North Korea trying NOT TO be forced into a relationship with China. Ukraine is faced with the United States controlling them or embracing a closer relationship with Russia who would want to control them. It’s a hot mess of geopolitical manipulation on a mafioso scale.
If Zelensky does not allow himself to be a proxy for the United States in Europe, the people who control U.S. policy will create a war with Russia to get rid of him. Biden is really a stammering stupid doofus and tool of the deep state, who isn’t strong enough to battle his own corrupt policy team; and Biden Inc, which includes his entire family, is paid by the DC manipulators to shut-up and just read.
Zelensky has to pretend like Biden represents the U.S. interests, while knowing Biden doesn’t have any control over U.S. policy.
The war mongering crew deep in the U.S. government are in control. The Fourth Branch of the U.S. government and the national security apparatus are in full operational control over the dynamic. Zelensky is stuck between Russia and the U.S. Deep State. Quite frankly, he’d be better off embracing Vladimir Putin and coming to terms.
However, the problem is Zelensky doesn’t want to end up being Ukraine to Russia like North Korea is to China.
If Zelensky tells Biden to go spit, I mean really calls this baby ugly as it needs to be called, then the U.S. system (writ large) will withdraw any support or assistance for Ukraine, and Russia will absorb his country quickly. That’s the unfortunate dynamic.
Zelensky wants to stop being a hostage to the West by joining NATO. However, Russia will not allow a formal NATO relationship.
It’s a mess.
My advice to President Zelensky would be to ask Hungary or Poland to host discussions between himself and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The transcript would be an excellent thing to release because right now he’s dealing with the American military mafia and everybody in Washington wants to cover up what their sons and daughters have been doing in Ukraine. 💰 And, Biden is “the big guy.”
The “Big Guy” and his married girlfriend/babysitter, Jill – tooling around town in her brown Corvette . . .
She looks like an old sodden drunk and trollop!
looks likeisLol. A real tart’s tart!
A lot like Piglosi.
It’d be nice if Zelensky leaked the transcript but that would not be in his best interest unless embarrassing Biden gains favor with Putin.
There’s no ROI in a military invasion–Pyrrhic victory at best. Russia needs something to deescalate. Perhaps a commitment not to join NATO would do it, pipeline use in eastern Ukraine for Russians to Black Sea or whatever. Make Putin look good and Biden bad is Zelensky’s best option. We can’t even withdraw successfully from Afghanistan so that says alot about what kind of help we would provide.
can’t imagine what he is wrestling with…. on one hand if he just spills the entire beans, the entire war goes away immediately, but his country goes bankrupt when the inflow of money dries up.
Don’t agree. We forget the whole premise of impeaching Trump was because holding money back from Ukraine emboldened Russia. the dem loving state department will have a political disaster Trump will be vindicated and Ukraine policy completely shattered.
I disagree. Zelensky should leak the transcript after he arranges a meeting with Putin in a neutral country and then leak word that Hunter Bidens dealings are also on the table to be leaked unless FJB can get his state department under control and not start a full blown war in the region. He knows he’s going to lose Crimea and the Americwns will do nothing.
Embarrassing an American president–unless its Donald Trump–can be VERY hazardous to the health and well being of a foreign head of state.
Although I agree that Zelensky doesn’t have much to lose, there may be more to this that we don’t know. I suspect the CIA has enough dirt (real or most likely manufactured) to crush Zelensky if he made such a ballsy move.
Biden has already been embarrassed. The Jake Tapper segment, the WH posting of the essence of the phone call, and their quick withdrawal of both underline the embarrassment. Biden looks weak, incompetent. The twitter post points up the WH incompetence because they didn’t realize the implications until after they posted. A bunch of ignorant twits.
And then Zelensky gave that media interview which was smart for his own protection. But it, too, pointed out that Biden and his advisors know nothing. Which makes all the Biden/Blinken posturing look impotent!
What a tangled web!
Please
You don’t mess with Putin
Hes way smart than the Doofus in DC
Or any of the woke generals
Germany and France are trying to get the deal you suggest by dealing the US out of negotiations.
Xiden & Co. need / want a war, but the Europeans are having none of Biden’s wag-the-dog impending election disaster distraction.
With any luck, the Europeans can negotiate something that allows everyone to back away from the ledge and save face. And hopefully, it will embarrass the Xiden Administration in the process.
Leak the Ukrainian Biden corruption to Russia for Russia to publicize it and gain leverage over Biden and Hunter
Start with that then leak some of Hunters business dealings. Then arrange a meeting with Putin in Hungary. Cut the state department off at the knees and let them deal with the political fallout for their preferred party. Zelensky actually holds some good cards if he’s got the guts to stare down the state department. Notice I said State Department and not FJB? We all know who’s setting policy in Ukraine and it’s never been FJB. We saw who it is when they rolled our the circus clown car during the phoney impeachment.
Steve Bannon said today that he should release the phone call. He has nothing to lose. China Joe will call him and say if you want any money you will let us declare war on Russia.
They went after him when POTUS was in office with the
ridiculous phone call nonsense.. That should have been the
big clue to this Zelensky guy what and who he was dealing with
in the US..
Right now, compared to the Obiden Regime, Putin is the most honest broker in town. A Ukraine under a Russian umbrella would fair far better than it would placing itself at the mercy of the Washington Kleptocrat cabal.
Let the Obidens find another country to launder the stolen treasury billions. I hear Liberia is open for graft.
Except the Russians want it like a hole in the head. It was costing them a fortune and then the kindly US and EU took it off their hands in 2014. They don’r want it back thank you.
The way someone explained the situation to me:
The Russians do not want Ukraine.
But the Russians also do not want missiles at their border? rather like we did not appreciate USSR missiles in Cuba during that 1960s missile crisis.
How I loved it when President Trump said “Peace is the prize”. He was so right. I don’t want ANY of this war project
There is something missing in all this and I have yet to read or hear that some thing!
Putin does NOT want Ukraine affiliated with NATO; ok, that makes sense. And, Putin also does not really want to invade Ukraine as it would be WAY too costly and the reward would not be worth it.
So, why persist in trying to turn a sow’s ear into silk? Why pursue the inclusion of Ukraine into a functionally defunct organization which is nothing more than a grift for West European countries to maintain sky high socialist budgets on the backs of American taxpayers funding their defense needs?
Let Europe deal with this mess. The US is making it worse.
Scratch that–the Xiden Administration is making it worse.
Infinite likes ^^^
I beg to differ President Zel, I think you referred to Resident Joe Effen Biden as respected.
FJB is not respected by nobody, nowhere, nohow. Not Us, not the Obamanistas, not the Ukrainians, not the Russians (are coming), not Nobody.
The U.S. administration is acting in a childish, peevish, petty manner and president doofus shouldn’t be involved in foreign affairs at all. He is the dictionary example of dementia.
Calling FJB “respected” is a nicety, and a bone to throw out to make it seem like he’s being “respectful” of America. I feel badly for the guy, and the country – they’re between a rock & a hard place. I like the idea several commenters posted, that his leaking some of the transcript of the call, and esp. leaking some of Hunter’s doings in Ukraine, might just call the USA dogs off.
Because the Bidens took so much money from Ukraine they become a thorn in the Biden’s side. They would love for Russia to go in and clean house. Don’t forget they took Russian money as well so they most likely playing both sides to up the ante.
This Ukrainian “business” is all theatre.
Russia gets higher oil prices and Biden gets lower expectations of economic growth… resulting in lower inflation expectations. It’s a win-win for the Biden-Putin axis.
The only tool the Democrats have for the mid-terms is a rising stock market. That needs to happen in the August-October time period. Don’t be surprised if manipulations are underway to limit growth expectations… that in turn would limit stock market appreciation. There is an old saying… Sell in May and go away. If the Democrats can cap the stock market now (when 401K growth typically drives share prices) they may have a shot at a rising stock market going into the mid-terms. They only need to get through a couple of months. Talk down the stock market; promise a number of rate hikes and don’t deliver on the last one or two. That should be good for a relief rally.
Hunter Biden is going to sell many paintings over the next little while.
Don’t be surprised if the Iranians top up their European politicians subsidy that they have going. The Iranians rely on the Russians and Chinese to sell their oil and circumvent blockades.
I see Biden has released more oil from the strategic reserve. I expect the PPT to use these commodities (much like gold) to play in the futures market of oil.
The Biden gang wants a war to cover up their manmade disasters. The Ukraine and Russia don’t seem that interested. Right now it’s just sabre rattling. The biggest gas station in Europe doesn’t really want to destroy their business model.
Anyone from the GOP calling for impeachment over the tele call? Nope, didn’t think so…
Why would they?
In current year, performative political blah blah, thirsting for TV face time, reveals petty StaleThink and Realpolitik stupidity.
Paging Lyin’ Ted?
Truth be told, the GOP was JUST as excited to impeach Trump as the Democrats. But for practical reasons, they couldn’t say so.
I’ve never heard of Euro News. Are they generally fair, or just when they want the US to NOT start a war in Europe?
I think you’ll find Euro News gets much of its funding from German Sources.
Germany does not see eye to eye with the US or GB regards Ukraine.
Do what all the other State leaders do, when confronting Biden, remind him of the Kompromat they have on him and the people around him!
If Joe sends troops to Ukraine to get slaughtered by the Russians his approval will be in the teens within a week, but neither he nor his handlers care. That’s what happens when you steal an election. You don’t give a damn about the people, and it is so obvious that he doesn’t.
And that is exactly why they are not making course correction. Their poll numbers (eye roll because they’re still covering for biden with fake polls) are in the toilet but they aren’t changing course. But really why should they. No one elected biden or the Obama retreads so there is nobody to hold them to account for the policies they put out. Stolen elections means the thieves can do whatever they want and it doesn’t matter because they aren’t accountable to anyone.
I wonder if we could do a poll ourselves, of all the people who give him a zero approval rating. Where do I sign?
Well, one thing is for sure, the Xiden Administration doesn’t seem terribly worried about the mid-term elections.
Hmmm….
How does the Uranium One Treason by Obama,Hillary & Co play out here with Russia?
Don’t you just hate the war machine! All those Lockheed Martin AH’s looking to get paid! Biden needs dragging out of the White House and locking up!
Wise words that best describes our phoney, usurper President. FJB
” Taking something from one man and making it worse is plagiarism.” Novelist George Augustus Moore
I see what you did there, Biden is the greatest plagiarist that’s ever occupied the White House.
“My advice to President Zelensky would be to ask Hungary or Poland to host discussions between himself and Russian President Vladimir Putin.”
Frankly, I think that’s an idea with a whole bunch of merit. Putin wants what Putin wants, but he’s aware of the potential for a PERCEIVED win that comes with having some type of long term effort going on that completely excludes the west and – in particular – the current US Regime. Asking for such a broker, and you named a couple of excellent countries to do that, is (at present) the best way Zelensky can make the statement he currently needs to make IF he does it without checking with WashDC.
https://www.dw.com/en/russia-ukraine-agree-to-uphold-cease-fire-in-normandy-talks/a-60556387
Ditto.
Anything that accrues power to Putin and Russia, while simultaneously marginalizing (or preferably embarrassing) the US is a win-win for Putin.
Look for the Germany and France to deal that hand.
The CIA will assassinate Zelensky and any Ukrainian connected with Biden crime family and blame it on Russia to try and get this rolling.
Two birds with one stone.
Lt Col Fatso Bearclaw Vindman may then be put in charge as reward for his crimes.
Zelensky was dumb to think he might get something from the United States (as run by the Progs, Dems, IC & DS). If he wants to preserve himself, he really needs to start thinking of Joe Biden as Don Corleone:
Philippine President Duterte on his relationship with the United States
Duterte: “If I survive the CIA, I have five years to go.”
The bottom line is that Zelensky inadvertently wrecked the Ukrainian economy. Who is going to invest in Ukraine, with US travel warnings, an evacuated US embassy and 150,000 Russian troops at the border on standby?
Zelensky was not prepared to enter Obama’s “enlightened” world of progressive “liberal” politics. He must have watched one too many AOC videos and believed the propaganda. (sigh)
Zelensky “was dumb enough to think”.
Mind reader, Zelensky bff, armchair imaginative…..?
No reason to drag honorable and delicious bear claws into this! 😂😂
Third world, or for that matter any country’s leaders would be foolish to have any interaction at all with the US.
The CIA doesn’t hesitate to stab anyone in the back to further their own ends.
The D.C. boobs are the only ones wanting any war with anybody … the Western Europeans (those to the west of Russia) do not want war.
I expect most of the Europeans will work things out between Russia and Ukraine.
And the next time FJB calls any of our European allies, they should reply with, “What the Hell do you want?” and then hang up … making a mockery of FJB’s “America’s Back” claim.
Heretic thoughts:
is Ukraine better off as an “independent” nation or as an autonomous part of Russia, as they used to be? In terms of economy, let alone military, there is no comparison. Ukraine is a poor and virtually defenseless country. The West wants Ukraine as a puppet/political pawn/playground for corrupt enrichment schemes and as a barrier between themselves and Russia, nothing else. The MIC wants to make a profit. Warmonger politicians want kickbacks from the MIC. Nobody actually cares about Ukraine itself.
Returning to a previous eras Confederation of Eastern European groups that are now nations, as Sundance hinted at, is an option.
Binary choices are frequently first by malevolents seeking to imprison imaginatives.
Has anyone told Truck Fudeau, because they are allegedly “training” the Ukrainian military for the pending conflict.
Moronic thing Pedo do is start a war in the middle winter. Stand down.
Good advice, Sundance.
Zelensky should ask Poland and Hungary to host talks with Putin.
30% of Ukranians are Russian.
Russia and Ukraine have a long history, since the mid/late 1700s.
Also true Ukraine would not want to end up as the NK to China. And, they want to conduct their own trade with the EU countries.
Yes, it’s a mess.
Plus, after what we learned via Guiliani, basically our loser politicians are abusing Ukraine and money laundering there. So are Europeans.
Not exactly.
17% not 30% (in 2001).
Russia and Ukraine have a long history of abusive relations.
IMO Zelensky may end up at the same place as Yanukovych. Zelensky abused the patience of Ukrainians since 2019 with his frequent vacations, mishandling covid, etc.
Zelensky is not likely to ask Poland to host talks. Polish journalists weren’t even invited to his press conference today.
On the Ukrainian news site censor.net, the most liked comment to the report of his latest press conference was “My God! WTF?!”
All of Europe and Russia have–unfortunately–pimped Ukraine out. The US is pissed because our cut may be cut out.
Doesn’t Zelensky know what’s at stake? A conflict with Russia is necessary to boost Joe’s poll numbers.
He is critical to Nancy Pelosi’s & Adam Schiff’s midterm election plans. As useful as Putin was in Trump’s first few years in office with RussiaGate and the Mueller SC.
I find it amazing that the world can be turned upside down and pushed to the brink of war to get Democratic politicians elected to office. But that is the truth of the situation; the prosperity of the world is an expendable pawn in the Kabuki Theater of Washington DC.

You don’t suppose Soros is needing another mad rush of war refugees coming out of Ukraine to overrun countries like, say, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, who he is trying to destroy? He’s very good at creating refugees you know; Georgia, Syria, South America, etc. And Democrats will do ANYTHING to keep on getting his “donations”. I’m betting Biden is going to do something so stupid as to make the Afghan surrender a very minor deal.
BREAKING: President Biden (Ron Klain) will send a small number of troops to Eastern Europe in the near term.
This is funny.
Perfect!
If the war that the admin wants starts the COVID fearmongering will suddenly be in the background and won’t be important anymore. We’ll all be cured!
Biden probably hopes a war will give his poll numbers a boost, or better yet, delay the mid-term elections.
Yup, I suspect the Xiden Administration is looking for a “look, squirrel” distraction / off-ramp for their Covid despotism.
Such a misadventure would enable many bad actors to accomplish much mischief, and may be the very point.
It is very clear to the four countries that were parties to the Minsk Agreement that the US wants a war for its domestic political needs. The parties met and reaffirmed their commitment to the cease-fire that was negotiated as Debaltseve was rubbed out. US was not invited. When Russia invaded Donbas in 2014 none of the troops had insignia on their uniforms, they were called “little green men.” An amazingly courageous journalist named Simon Ostrovsky , a fluent Russian speaker, tricked a Cossack looking Russian special forces troop into showing his military ID on camera. After a slow start, the Ukrainian militias became very hardened. The battle at the Donetsk Airport was the stuff of legend, like the French Foreign Legion at Camerone. They became the Cyborgs. These people will fight. Biden and his deep state controllers are too obvious.
.
The only winner if we start brawling with Russia is… CHINa.
To the extent that China and CIA are allies, what might that mean?
Helluvalot of decent Chinese citizens either intimidated or jailed in this deep state nightmare. Plus North Korea. Its awful all around. Nobody decent wins anything in this
BREAKING: “Biden” to deploy US soldiers to Eastern Europe as tensions with Russia escalate. This fool is going to get us into a war as a neat and tidy distraction from the disaster that are the fascists running the country. As if a war wouldn’t be another disaster. And we’re only one year into this horror show.

The only way I can see that we A. Don’t send our boys to fight Ruskies, and B. Ukraine not get decimated with war, is to iron it out with Putin.
FJB, he doesn’t care who dies
Congratulations to President Zelensky for further exposing this old fool for the pathetic piece of garbage that he is.
Biden and the Democraps are ginning up a “fake war” Wag the Dog scenario, so when Putin does not invade Ukraine….they will be able to claim Political Victory. “Look at Me” Joe will proclaim “I’m the guy who stood up to Putin!”. That is what this is all about. Just another Democrap False Flag Operation
I’ll bet that if Zelensky doesn’t play by the “rules”,
he’ll be liquidated, and a more agreeable puppet will be installed.
Zelensky is between a rock and a hard place,
and he should start talking with Russia now.

I disagree with Sundance over the US Deep State. This is part of the globalist’s Great Reset, although I can’t figure out why.
Does the dissolution of NATO further their plans, or is it just anything that weakens Western countries?
Frederick Forsyth-war time pilot and writer
Germany powerless to help its Nato friends
As war clouds loom over Ukraine there was a brief and quite weird sidebar in the British media that was widely ignored.
Our RAF transport planes, carrying anti-tank rockets to help the Ukrainians repel any Russian armour that might invade them, were instructed at the highest level not to over-fly any part of German airspace. However, Germany is a Nato ally ‑ or so we thought.
The decree meant making a major diversion from the direct line between here and Ukraine. But why?
The only possible explanation is that our intelligence suspected they might be ordered to land and their cargoes confiscated. Is Germany now so subservient to Moscow?
With Olaf Scholz, the new German chancellor, closing down its last two nuclear generating stations, it could be that the country is now so dependent on Russian gas to keep the lights burning and the radiators warm in freezing winter that Moscow can give orders to Berlin and be confident they must be obeyed.
This is the heritage of Angela Merkel, whose policy of shutting down all Germany’s nuclear power generation makes the nation wholly dependent on Russian gas. Forbidding our planes to over-fly a Nato ally is unprecedented and very sinister.
Just as worrying is the complete humiliation of German foreign secretary Annalena Baerbock, right. She had to inform Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba that Germany had nothing to offer, then proceed to Moscow to grovel in front of Sergey Lavrov, her Russian equivalent.
Meanwhile, America’s bumbling President Joe Biden let slip that he saw no need to react to a “minor incursion” by Russia ‑ whatever a small invasion is.
Thanks to these two, the West is in total disarray and the Kremlin opening the champagne.
This was how both world wars started – crass stupidity by the democracies in the face of aggression by a determined dictator. Meanwhile, our lot are obsessed by a few glasses of wine on the lawn two years ago.

How many troops did Biden regime say they would commit to a war they plan to start in a country whose sovereignty they say they respect? And now reps from NY are using the I-word again. What was the name of that other lady who tried to get traction on impeachment previously? It was Marjorie, wasn’t it? How far did she get with that in a Congress that’s been rigged by a rigged election? They can impeach our president, because they know the party will not fight back. They will fight back if we try to impeach theirs.
Allow an official referendum vote by the citizens of eastern Ukraine to be absorbed into Russia . Recognize the referendum vote already passed by the citizens of Crimea to be part of Russia . Stop Ukraine’s military attacks on ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine . Let the Nordstream2 pipeline proceed and open the valves to E.U. Foreign Policy should be dealing with the world as it is , not as how we would like it to be . No I am not a Putin bot , but a retired US military combat vet . These measures would deescalate the situation and probably lead to some counter concessions by Russia . And NATO ? It should’ve been dissolved with the falling of the Berlin wall.
Rhut row… is Zelenski…letting the American Public and the world know that choo choo joe is trying get the TAIL TO WAG THE DOG on this?… Cause it’s really just a smoke screen to distract Americans/the world from the REALLY LOUSY CRAPPY MISERABLE FAILURE HE IS? Just asking for a friend.
Zelensky–a former comedian—can sit in front of a room full of reporters and have a conversation without notes.
Our President lives on a movie set and can’t remember the names of his own cabinet.

Why would we trust Biden to make decisions for his Golden Geese..Russia Ukraine China!
Maybe the Biden regime need to hire Bill or Hillary Clinton, to teach them how to wag the dog successfully.
Maybe Biden’s stance is smoke and mirrors to cover up the Biden’s previous transgressions.
Trump had this situation solved and then was impeached for actually trying to do the logical thing.
The logical thing was to make a deal with Russia where Russia maintains it’s control of Ukraine while not taking any territory and “ceding” Crimea back to Ukraine.
Trump had Russia by the balls because he stopped NordStream 2 and he was going to supply Europe with oil and natural gas from US and Middle East. Not to mention, increased US oil and natural gas production lowered their global prices, which was impacting Russia’s economy.
Trump in a second term would’ve agree to keep Ukraine out of NATO and Russia would have withdrawn from Crimea in exchange for NordStream 2. It was perfect.
But our genius negotiator was impeached and the election stolen from him because the corruption Sundance talked about in the State Department and with Clinton and Biden INC. (and Bush Inc I would add) would immediately cease with Putin back in control of Ukraine.
So now they are putting a gun to Ukraine’s head to stay under the control of the West or risk war. It’s a terrible risk but Putin is too keen to fall into any traps.
I’m only counting on the savvy of Putin to keep the world from WW3, not our currently leadership.
Check out John Mearsheimer on the Ukraine. Excellent background to the present situation in Ukraine. This Ukrainian president is taking the right stance and understands Putin and Russia and should not trust the US admin at this time.
