The previously planned Russian training exercises [Announcement Here] have been completed in Belarus – close to neighboring Ukraine. Today those troops began returning to their places of regular deployment as reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense in Moscow.
As a result, the Biden manufactured ‘wag the dog‘ scenario, a fabricated ‘Russia invading Ukraine‘ premise by the White House, U.S. Dept of State, Pentagon and intelligence apparatus, needs to come to an end quickly.
After pretending that Russia was going to invade Ukraine in an effort to manufacture a political win out of thin air, Joe Biden will declare today he saved the world.
(New York Times) President Biden will speak on the Ukraine crisis at the White House this afternoon. Western analysts said it was too early to say if the announced troop movements were meaningful, but it might be a sign that Russia is stepping back from the threat of invasion.
President Vladimir V. Putin said Tuesday that Russia had decided “to partially pull back troops,” and the Russian Defense Ministry announced that some forces from military districts bordering Ukraine were being sent back to their garrisons, a sign that Moscow might be stepping away from the threat of an invasion.
The announcement was the strongest signal yet that Russia might be trying to de-escalate the military standoff near the Ukrainian border, but it was far from clear that the threat of war has passed. Military analysts warned that it was too early to make firm conclusions about any troop drawdown without more information. (read more)
Yesterday, Zero Hedge ran a CTH article detailing the fabricated ruse from the White House. Today the AP said Zero Hedge was promoting propaganda from Russia. Also today, White House has to pretend to take their victory lap early. Go Figure.
Yes, you can thank me in the comments section for saving Ukraine from the United States CIA construct and averting war. [ LOL ] But seriously, that inflated sense of CTH importance is less silly than Biden’s claims today. That’s how stupid this entire thing has been.
Yes, the White House is exactly that desperate.
No one was fooled by this charade, not even the stenographers in the press. But they have to pretend the installed white house vegetable saved us. With the terrible PPI inflation data out today, I doubt anyone is thinking about how we were “saved” from incineration by LGB.
But the computers in the Ukrainian embassy got to be destroyed, which was the reason for the whole charade IMO.
And, Putin sat by and watched his oil revenues go up by 300%.
the quid pro
…the quid pro Joe!
And today Biden Administration Kills Israel-to-Europe Gas Pipeline
One wonders if this was Putin’s last demand.
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/18232/israel-europe-gas-pipeline
thiers budget is planned on $45/barrel which is now $95-$100…they very happy for warmongering FJB…
you are thinking very goood.
narrative. step 1
crime clean club. step 2.
by midterms all must be cleaned up.
Ahhh… you noticed that, too?
As soon as I saw that I became suspicious.
Why destroy them when they could have easily been moved?
IMO, Biden used this as a “TWOFER”:
1) Score a mock Foreign Relations ” victory”
2) Destroy records of (Hunter’s?) illegal activity in Ukraine
and control border crossings – so the physcial handlers of the paper copies can be killed.
removed by poster
Computers in an embassy located in a country famous for its corruption? No chance at all that copies were made first, or maybe the hard drives swapped out. Nope, not a chance. All that info is gone for good……./
They definitely destroyed some documents that are criminal relating to Biden and Company.
Interesting thought. That may explain why no ambassador was appointed. They might have backed up those computers and used the info
After Russia annexed Crimea I felt certain they would eventually invade Ukraine on a wider scale, presumably using the excuse that they would be liberating the Russian-heritage who live in the eastern parts of the nation.
I even said that Russia would absorb all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper river.
This opinion on my part made it very easy to swallow Biden’s claims that an invasion was imminent.
However, when President Zelensky himself denied that an invasion was imminent, that was enough for me to realize something was afoot.
NOW it all makes perfect sense.
Biden’s domestic agenda makes it IMPOSSIBLE for him to do anything HERE that will buoy his polling with the American people, so his only hope was to get some sort of “Win” on the international stage WITHOUT contradicting his “America Last” foreign policy objectives.
What better way than to totally fabricate a Russian invasion of Ukraine?
HOW TOTALLY RECKLESS THIS WAS.
Reckless indeed.
Nevertheless, the Russophilic regions of the Ukraine will eventually become fully Russian.
Ukraine would be wise to sit down and negotiate the division, reject NATO, and institute a reformist agenda that sees the end of profitable US troublemaking in their land.
Wasn’t really reckless, it’s all kabuki theatre, the Biden government’s version of WWF wrestling. I would love to hear a recording of the recent conversation between Biden and Putin.
I bet Putin laughed at Biden, told him these were just exercises, and that there was no invasion planned. Notice they tell you what Biden said but not what Putin said.
Release the tapes.
What if Biden’s fear mongering had provoked a military response by Ukrainians?
There have been several news items that referred to Ukrainian civilians forming militias and “training” to fight Russia in the event of an invasion.
It wouldn’t have been the first time that itchy trigger fingers caused the very thing they were afraid would happen.
So, yes. It was VERY RECKLESS for Joe Biden to behave the way he has.
I agree with you about eastern Ukraine. But in the pictures I’ve seen, purportedly of the Russian troops in Belarus for an exercise, I did not see the tell-tale sign of a two-sided exercise (good guys-bad guys) as a prelude to invasion: the white crosses on the vehicles. Ask yourself this question, how does a Russian soldier identify his friendly tank from an enemy tank when both sides have the same equipment? The Russians paint a large white cross (front-to-back and side-to-side) over their own vehicles. This is how they distinguished their tanks from Czech tanks in 1968; this is how the Baltic MD forces were marked in the two-sided exercise Zapad-81 in a prelude to the planned invasion of Poland which was preempted at the 11th hour by martial law. I’ve seen no such markings on Russian equipment in Belarus: which meant to me, no two-sided exercise; no invasion.
Putin & XI paid for and expected that Biden be ‘Installed’…..This whole thing is bizarre….Durham court filing and this manufactured Ukraine false flag all at the same time….Yea, just coincidences…
wow this is playing out just like the cuban cigar crisis.
Brain Teaser here… gimme a sec on this one…
Bill and Monica and a baby formula factory?
Get ready for another ‘invasion’ in 2023. Apparently Russia and Belarus are scheduled to hold another military drill dubbed “Union Shield”.

Nice hat tip to Sundance.
Rather obligatory when you simply copy and paste his entire article. 🙂
I meant that they posted it not that they gave him credit for his work, lol.
It says at the top that it was “authored by Sundance from The Last Refuge,” hyperlinked.
I agree that it could have been much more gracious, but it’s there.
I’ve been sending links to these CTH articles to an American friend who teaches at a small college in Lithuania, and who has many students who are from Russia and Ukraine. He has been concerned about the possibility of war because of the close proximity, and his students’ families. Although I agree that this particular episode with the war games has been Wag the Dog, he sent me this link today that he thinks still shows a possibility of Russian invasion — but with a different pretext.
Today’s vote in the Russian parliament seems to be a bid for Russia to “rescue” the two breakaway regions in Ukraine. I’m not hearing this aspect being addressed — just passing this along to see if anyone can fill me in more.
MOSCOW, Feb 15 (Reuters) – Russia’s lower house of parliament voted on Tuesday to ask President Vladimir Putin to recognise two Russian-backed breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine as independent and the European Union told Moscow not to follow through.
The move by the State Duma, if approved, could further inflame a wider standoff over a Russian military build-up near Ukraine that has fuelled Western fears that Moscow could attack. Russia denies any invasion plans and has accused the West of hysteria.
Recognition of the self-declared Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics could kill the Minsk peace process in eastern Ukraine, where a conflict in the region known as Donbass between government forces and Moscow-backed separatists has cost 15,000 lives.
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russias-parliament-asks-putin-recognise-breakaway-east-ukrainian-regions-2022-02-15/
The Eastern half of Ukraine view themselves as Russians and want to be Russians. They don’t appreciate being told they’re Ukrainian. Only the west, like Lvov, are “Ukrainian” which is basically Poland east. These people should do what they want to do and the US, EU, UN, etc should stay out of their business.
AMEN.
Did WWI begin in Eastern Europe?
Did WWII begin in Eastern Europe?
… Asking for a Lithuanian.
How LUCKY to have a President Beijing Biden, who bears no resemblance to Britain’s appeasing Prime Minister Neville-the-Nazi Chamberlain.
WWI began when Germany invaded France; WWII started when Germany (and Russia ) invaded Poland.
So yeah, WWIII may well start when a Eurasian militaristic nation attempts to expand westward.
Russia has always been expansionary but I don’t think Putin is foolish enough to invade Ukraine at this time.
That said, the Crimea annexation gives me pause.
Thank you.
Russia is afraid of the LGBT flag on the embassy in Kiev and very afraid of the trannies leading parts of our military who were trying to suck Russia into this conflict
Trannies trying to suck Russia into a conflict? Gonna just let that one lie there by itself.
When’s the parade? Surley there must be a parade to celebrate VR Day- Victory Over Russia. Joe Field
Marshal Biden can dress up as Patton and lead the parade through Washington D.C. in his command half track. Why not go full NORK and have divisons of towed and self propelled artillary and prime mover missile launchers and goose stepping troops. And Joes favorite the pre teen girls Young Pioneer battalions carrying AKM’s with fixed bayonets.
I think the fixed bayonets is a bit over the top 🙂
Lol!! Although I kinda like the fixed bayonets …..with High Capacity Magazines!!
https://youtu.be/fzLtF_PxbYw
Not only is it stupid it is also, at least for me, past maddening. So joe got his trail of extortion and bribery covered up by destroying the Kiev consulate computers. And he thinks he is scott free.
He and the corrupt cabal have sullied the reputation on this once great country. I can not even begin to tell you how dangerous this could become for them. When people loose hope for justice and freedom, somethings got to give.
As my pastor says strong words for strong emotions….
Is there a video of Biden singing “99 Luftballoons”? If there’s not, there should be…
Give us a few minutes with the meme machine.
Funny as I normally drive in silence, but coming back from doctors office yesterday put on the radio and this is the song that was playing! LOL, timing.
But in honesty to do a Biden cover would be a very extended rambling version, much like the one time 0bama tried proving his speaking skills (which he did in such a fashion he never tried again) without his teleprompter,er,er,er,er,er. LOL
Oh yeah! An extended Biden ramblin’ remix hard style dub-step–like the way you’re thinking!
With Biden not as the singer, but with his mug as one of the balloons.
His coterie of rainbow warrior wokesters can fill out the remaining balloons.
Anybody really think the info on those computers was “secure” and not in the hands of those who wish to pull the strings?
Anyone,…? Bueller,…?
….But Joe’s “ best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with the girl who confirmed those computers were secured at 31 Flavors last night”
Biden takes off his bomber jacket and spreads some Russian beluga malassol on a cracker…
Sounds like something North Korea would say about their “leader”.
Thank you Sundance for being ‘The destroyer of illusions”.
That’s perfect! LOL
Great! Now that Brandon has stared down and vanquished the Russian army and Putin, he can turn his gaze on the Canadian Truckers (who after all are only Putins puppets).
Shouldn’t take much time or effort at all, to send them packing!
Major Sarc!
Do they REALLY not see, that with each false narrative that eventually is discredited, that they collectively lose credibility, and that it is their own actions that cause additional red-pilling?
Do they not see this?
They don’t care about their credibility. All they care about pulling off the caper successfully, and getting the MSM to declare the caper was successful.
hehehe yeah, wasn’t that just brilliant.
I still think it was Jake Sullivan who saved the world.
At the end of the day… Zero Hedge… no Zero Hedge… here’s your problem:
“Russia Collusion Hoaxer Jake Sullivan Can’t Be Trusted To Evaluate Threats After Fabricating Them For Political Gain”
https://thefederalist.com/2022/02/14/russia-collusion-hoaxer-jake-sullivan-cant-be-trusted-to-evaluate-threats-after-fabricating-them-for-political-gain/
Sullivan, a key player in handicapping Trump’s ability to later conduct foreign policy during his presidency, is now one of the top officials weighing in on U.S. foreign policy. He’s a dominant voice in the U.S. response to Russia’s rift with Ukraine.
How do you trust any of these people, at this point? I don’t think there is any Government Institution that any reasonably-aware individual can trust at face value.
(hat tip to sunnydaze for the Federalist link)
Jake Sullivan’s wife is the Senior DOJ Official who is overseeing the Durham investigation. I think he’s got the last laugh on us!
try AGAIN….Durham is a SPECIAL Counsel….only the AG has any oversight and then only that he is conducting himself within his assigned areas
Zero Hedge follows CTH. The AP follows ZH. Strange times indeed, when far right evil rayciss blogs are cited by MSM.
Not so sure MSM wants to promote any direct links to CTH… folks out there might find some useful info!
Typical white privilege! Any criticism of Obama’s policies was simply racism, but in Biden’s case he gets the far cooler, ‘Kremlin propaganda’ as his official excuse. I also note that Obama was only defended by: his fellow politicos, toady anchors and cracked poli-sci professors, whereas Biden has the more prestigious, ‘U.S. intelligence officials’ to go to bat for him. I demand racial equity for the official excuses and excusers used to defend piss poor POTUS performances!
Let me see if I have this straight. For four years the media proclaimed, with no evidence, that Trump colluded with Russia. But now that Russia openly colludes with the Biden lies, the media will call this a great victory. Got it.
It’s FNG maddening .. 🙁
Thank you, Sundance!
Clearly had it not been for you keeping us alert to the subterfuge, the Biden Administration was certainly willing to escalate to kinetic war. They really are that desperate.
Sad, isn’t it? Pathetic, really.
They are being played by Putin this is not his first dance with these guys, FJB will screw it up the goldfish just can’t help himself keeps trying to eat that same stone over and over.
I don’t even want to know anybody who is too stupid to see through this charade. Unfortunately though, I already do and they all vote Democrat.
PDJT asked the right question, referencing US/russia relations:
“would it be so bad if we got along?”
there is much more to be gained by PDJT’s approach than there is by biteme’s posturing.
time to fire the director of the “joe show”.
Boy, would I love to be a fly on the wall by his dinner table tonight!
If only FJB would move 100,000 troops and their equipment to the Mexican border.
But that would be too sensible.
Instead, the propaganda machine is used to rile up and scare the sheep.
Again.
When you cannot get a victory in real life, manufacture one!
The downside to crediting the CTH is that more trash leftist trolls will start showing up spewing their ignorance. CTH does a really good job of weeding these idiots out and there of course is a strong sense of community here among the regular Treepers. Most of my fellow Treepers can spot a leftist troll very quickly, but that doesn’t stop the distractions the trolls create.
Don’t feed the Trolls!
The title alone gave me a good laugh! Thank you Sundance!
The sad part is they started to build this up with the Sunday “news” shows, with Nazi Nancy and her nonsense. And we are supposed to believe that Bejing Biden even has a clue what is going on? Really want to know what pharmaceuticals they are injecting into him to elicit a somewhat coherent response to any question.
I keep waiting for a false flag event…they just have to take the attention off the economy, the Hilary/FBI/DOJ/CIA/Obama/UniParty spy ring, the brave Canadian people and truckers, the total collapse of the Fauci/Gates/China virus narrative and the clot-shot failure, Canada becoming a dictatorship overnight…take your pick and add more.
But, but, but.. it’s not the 16th yet. You got to wait until the 16th. LOL.
Must be on target if the AP is barking. But, who else would Putin rather have in office than Biden?
Sundance: “Yes, you can thank me in the comments section for saving Ukraine from the United States CIA construct and averting war.”
Welp, I do have to thank you…for verifying for me as far back as the Mississippi splitter strategy, that those strings I saw then, and keep seeing, were real, and not eye floaters.
eyeroll
So glad we warmed up by watching “Wag the Dog” in January!
Don’t be fooled. We can never trust the Russians. Never!!! They just don’t have the same level of honesty as President/CIC Joe Biden and his administration .. Those sneaky devils have probably go something up their pants and are planning on invading Ukraine just as soon as we aren’t looking. .
Let’s review the record. They hacked into our election computers in 2016 and took 300 electoral votes away from Queen Hillary. They also fabricated the so-call “Hunter Biden Laptop From Hell” to try to frame our great President Joe and his wonderful son Hunter Biden.. They also put bounties on the heads of American soldiers. We know they did because all of our honest and brilliant and trustworthy intelligence agencies said so.
We should probably put together a force of at least 175,000 troops in Ukraine and invade Russia in February before they invade Ukraine in March and then Alaska in April..
There may not even be time for that as all of our intelligence agencies will soon be saying if we do not fight the Russian hordes in Ukraine today we will have to fight them in Hawaii tomorrow and then in Washington State next week and then in Idaho the week after that.
Now Eisenhower did say that preventive war was an invention of Hitler, but what did that inexperienced old fool know? Why, he couldn’t even shine the shoes of America’s current generals like the brilliant General Miley and the other brilliant Generals at the Pentagon.
Egypt prior to the 1973 Yom Kipper war held “training exercises” where they would mobilize and man areas near the Suez Canal before standing down and going to their normal military footing…the Israelis got so used to this they were surprised even though they had valid intelligence of an impending attack…..they took horrendous losses for such a small nation especially in the opening days
who is saying Putin isn’t doing this same thing to lull the Ukrainians and the West into complacency….the US has NO valid national security interest there and is guilty with the UK of overthrowing a legal Ukrainian government in 2014 in favor of one with leanings towards the West rather than Russia….CIA forever sticking its nose where it doesn’t belong
Biden winning vs Russia…
Is like a guy throwing a surprise birthday party for himself.
And acting touched and surprised when he comes home that everyone is there!
Putin won’t do anything that will get Biden removed. I mean, having Joe “ruining….running” things is the best thing that ever happened to him. Putin gets everything he wants – oil prices soaring, oil sales soaring, his pipelines approved and others canceled. My guess is they are working together. Joe gets his beak wet and Putin gains strength. The MSM will do their work for them.
I agree.. Putin wants Biden
everybody with a political hand out wants Biden
Not necessarily. True, unlike Trump, Biden isn’t isn’t exactly a mental match for Putin, nor a defender of America like Trump, but does Putin really want to keep dealing with an increasingly mentally ill man or a cackling airhead?
They aren’t stable.
Mistakes are so easily made…
Was also hearing the Ukrainian government web sites were down – DDOS attacks. This on local MSM radio (so no, I don’t have a link to cite) and their point was that the Ruskies had to be guilty. One good caller made the point it was just as likely one of our intelligence agencies trying to stir the pot. I mean, the CIA would never destabilize a conflict………/sarc
Just as likely?
I’ve come to lean towards much more likely these days.
Biden and Company took the Power out by attacking their power grid…. last time he was running the show with Obama.
It’s kinda interesting as soon as Biden stole the WH here, we had been having major power outages as well in Red States.
Hey Vladimir, Joe is asshoe.
Now…if only this Administration could cure COVID as quickly and easily
That will be their next claim.
So the Great Drooling Parsnip, AKA “the President”, has saved us from all out nuclear war. Yup. I believe that….NOT. (With apologies to actual parsnips everywhere.)
Russia made a fool of Biden, and showed they are the only power broker in Europe.
Great win Joe.
And don’t think Putin is done humiliating Biden. It will continue.
That’s funny,not haha funny,but you know what I mean…😎
Hmm, maybe a Mexican spying on the US for Russia would warrant securing our southern border given the heightened Russia awareness.
https://www.westernjournal.com/ap-mexico-scientist-pleads-guilty-spying-russia-miami/
ANNNNDDD Queue the laughter.
The Biden admin subsequently just announced the saving of the earth from a global catastrophe of unheard of proportions brought on by a trans-dimensional war with another universe that SlowJoe could not reveal due to it’s implications of massive riots and unrest if anyone were to learn of the impending attack. The woky military has been preparing for this war since Old Joe took office and alerted our imaginary warp force at area 51.
It is Trumps fault this was coming because Trump never bothered to try to find out what our neighboring universes were up to. It is claimed that inside sources say Trump flat out refused to accept these other dimensions. Also, anonymous sources say that Biden’s ice cream licking cooled his brain enough that he could sense this other universe.
It is extremely fortunate that Joe continues to lick this other universe, so if you see him engaged in that activity, rest assured he is working in our best interests.
Joe didn’t just avoid thermonuclear war, he avoided GLOBAL thermonucler war, the greasy dirt of thermonuclear war!
Putin is a chess master compared to Biden who always has to have someone whisper in his ear which piece to move and where. I actually feel very sorry for him that he does not realize that he is simply a pawn or puppet being used by some hidden figure or figures behind the screen. If his wife and children truly has compassion for his mental state and deterioration because of age they would have encourged him to retire to a quiet place and prevented the Democrat leadership from this “elder abuse”.
So basically Biden elevated Sundance.
I’m sure that makes the White House very, very happy.
LOL
Thank you SD for preventing WW111 and getting Russia Russia Russia to withdraw. .
Have we just watched the knocking over of the biggest strawman in history?
