First, I did not anticipate Russia going beyond their allied region in Eastern Ukraine. I was wrong. It appears Vladimir Putin is going for the whole enchilada as reports indicate his military operations are positioned to capture all of Ukraine, specifically the western Ukraine areas under control of the U.S. State Department.
Second, with all the prior Ukraine issues serving as a reference, it is important to remember that every media outlet in the U.S. machinery of information is untrustworthy.
U.S. intelligence manipulated information, some call misinformation and disinformation, is rampant as the U.S. has specific motives for everything that takes place in Ukraine.
In many ways Ukraine is a vassal state of U.S. leftist politics.
Ukraine has been a satellite operation for the U.S. State Department for approximately 15 to 20 years. The U.S. has held control over Ukraine, and manipulated every political outcome inside Ukraine, for well over a decade. This reality is the source of Vladimir Putin’s angst toward the west for the same amount of time, and it’s the same reason why the EU, specifically Germany, is tenuous in any collaborative response.
The EU, writ large (including NATO), are less interested in Ukraine, because they know Ukraine is the U.S. playground in Europe. This truism explains why we see a conflict when it comes to responses and sanctions from the U.S. compared to the European NATO allies.
The outcome is along the line of NATO countries telling us, Ukraine is our playground, the issues are our creation, therefore when it comes to responsive action – you do you and we will look out for ourselves, but we in the EU have to live with the reality of the outcome, so our interests will likely diverge from yours depending on what Putin intends.
Vladimir Putin seeking to take the entire country of Ukraine back under his control – highlights, at least to me, that when Joe Biden took office, the scale of U.S. manipulation and influence went back to maximum levels. This is in contrast to four years of President Trump not manipulating Ukraine or trying to use Ukraine as a vassal for U.S. foreign policy interests. Obviously, this puts the DC and Deep State (CIA and State Dept) attack on Trump, using Ukraine, into a specific context.
While there is no justification for President Putin to take all of Ukraine, an independent nation under Russian control, the Occam’s Razor geopolitical explanation would indicate Putin just reached a point where enough was enough. Taking all of Ukraine away from U.S. control puts a stop to our using the Russian border state for our own interests.
Again, the scale and scope of Putin’s commitment here shows a particular radically strong motive to cut out what he sees as the U.S. cancer completely. This is the aspect I did not anticipate. I expected Putin to throw a strong brush back pitch against the U.S. and retake control over eastern Ukraine, where he is appreciated. I did not expect Putin to throw multiple fast balls directly at the head of team U.S.A.
Now, we get to the part where information warfare begins. The same U.S. media who support the deepest part of the DC deep state, will be spinning the U.S. State Department position exclusively and with a massive amount of manipulation. We cannot trust the CNN, WaPo, NYT version of events, because they are in alignment with the globalist intents of the Dept of State.
Inside the dynamic is another layer of ideology around climate change and energy. The same U.S. interests who will clutch their pearls over the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, will not step up to increase energy development within the U.S. that could offset Russian influence in Europe.
It is difficult to blame Germany for not supporting the Biden demands of sanctions against Russia (SWIFT, Nordstream II, etc.), because energy dependent Germany can see the hypocrisy in the U.S. position toward energy development.
Stuck in the middle of this are the Ukraine people. The manipulative U.S. State Dept has held control over Ukraine politics for so long, most of the Ukraine people suffer Stockholm syndrome toward us. I doubt most of the western Ukrainian people can see how the U.S. involvement in their political affairs has put their country into this vulnerable position, in the same way most of the American people do not see the manipulation in the U.S. 2020 election.
In the big picture, China and Iran support Russia and are allies with Russia. Collectively China, Iran and Russia will have increased direct involvement as their alliance will now confront the U.S- western alliance. We can expect the cyber battleground (hacking etc) will be China and Russia working together, while the U.S. and western allies work together.
The bottom line is…. eventually physical power is what determines the outcome of war.
If Putin wants all of Ukraine, he will get all of Ukraine.
What Zelensky should have done is fully mine Chernobyl and threaten to blow it up if invaded… With that threat of environmental disaster to Russia and the world perhaps it could have made Putin think twice and Ukraine’s allies be more supportive…
Not smart. The spread of radiation fallout would generally be westward, not eastward.
I said threaten… Perception sometimes is more effective. And yes it would spread westward, but All Ukraine as would a good portion of Russia be with the circle of disaster… And the Greens in Europe would be up in arms to respond to the threat…
It is too late for “what ifs.” Joe Biden and Barack Obama have been involved with Ukraine for too long. Their raping the country of money has been well documented by Peter Schwietzer. Biden poked Putin one too many times in the eye for Putin to simply stop with Donbas and Luhank.
Just like the west perceived that putin would not be a transgressor??!! In the immortal words of Aerosmith “Dream on”!!
Tyrants like putin and Xi do not mince words like the cowardly deepstate!!
Why do you think putin and xi have been training so hard on land, sea and air??!!
Only 2 times an adversary will strike: 1st) when they feel weaker; and, 2nd) when they feel stronger!!
Russia and China train non stop not like the “woke” west!!
All U.S. administrations, minus the Trump Administration, are jellie kneed agressors!!
President Trump had their respect and he did everything that the deepstate U.S. and nato players are currently doing – reacting not being proactive.
Bozo joebama and the deepstate dems and rinos and corrupt U.S. government all 3 co – equal branches (ha!ha!) Got played by both our domestic and foreign enemies who continue to play these fools like a professional.
Time for the U.S. to close all foreign bases, drop out of nato and the u.n. and – reestablish the Monroe Doctrine!!
All the money that we spent on nato and they, like joebama, have folded well before the first ante is layed down!!
Trump was right!!
Lol!! Well pee – lousy when you should be having congress burning the midnight oil you fools have all but acquitted President Trump!!
You are using our troops against our truckers but can hardly field divisions because of your bogus jabberdoobies!!
We ought to have the entire government out front of our troops acting as mind sweepers – tap dancing for mines!!
Well, Zelensky could have threatened without mining Chernobyl. The only way the Russians would know if he was bluffing was after they captured it.
you seriously lack geopolitical or intelligence knowledge…..LOL…you actually think Putin does not have an active intelligence network IN Ukraine…..an old Soviet possession as a proper part of their country under the KGB that Putin was head of at one point
One word, Chernobyl.
Always thought weather moved mostly west to east?
What Zelensky should have done is what he tried to do, which is make arrangements with Putin without US meddling. We ruined that, and now Russia will wreck Ukraine.
Agree 100%…
Perhaps the swamp in Ukraine is far deeper than the US would be prepared to admit?
Every politician in DC has benefitted from all the foreign aide, arms shipments sponsored and approved by the Senate, House of Representatives, CIA, State Dept, Presidents Obama and Biden, NGO’s and everyone else that could graft and scheme the corrupt Ukrainian Govt for the last 20 years, the side deals like Hunter and Biden only gave them more access to wealth being stolen and enriching themselves for their own personal greed. Every billion dollar spending bill had earmarks for the “sponsors” that presented it, approved it, and passed it into spending, all of it, had the DC whores frothing at the mouth as they knew Ukrainians would never end their own quests for power in govt and DC was always looking to enrich themselves. Once Putin takes over their financial windfall schemes will be used to blackmail everyone in DC, he knows the truth and finally said enough is enough. The American people are in for even rougher times ahead than the Covid scams that has brought our entire country down, and unless people wake the eff up about the Biden puppet masters running DC the rest of the world is going to begin using us in ways we should never have to endure. The Ukrainian people are boned even more so.
It’s already been wrecked by the Government corruption and the Jewish oligarchs looting the country…When Putin puts in a neutral government, things will improve dramatically for the average citizen…
So those thousands of automobiles fleeing Kiev are all Ukrainian bureaucrats? Newly unemployed?
I disagree!
Zelenky’s been neutered.
He’s asking for people in the streets to find weapons.
That typically isn’t an avenue of first resort.
What happened to all the weapons PDJT gave them ?
The blankets Osama gave them will be useless but PDJT gave them plenty
Like Angel has Fallen did with Clay’s cabin–exactly!
I was actually thinking of Paul Atriedes threatening to destroy spice production to force the Emperor to leave Arrakis… His point about defending is you have to be willing to destroy something if you want to truly defend it…
So you support the women and child murdering neo nazi fascists in Kiev then???
WTH????
Do some research mate on how the Russian ethnic peoples have been living in eastern Ukraine for the last 8 years under near constant mortar bombardment.
Do you actually know anybody there?
Have you been there? Lived there?
Have you ever seen the pictures of dead bodies in the streets of small towns in Donetsk and Lugansk regions, men, women, children with arms , legs and heads missing?
I’ll give you a clue….you won’t have heard anything about it on CNN/BBC/SKY or even FauxFox news.
This behaviour has been sanctioned by western governments and western fake news media for 8 years and there has been complete silence about these crimes.
And of course here is the BIG fact of life……Ukraine would not be in this situation right now if YOUR criminal president Obozo and YOUR criminal CIA along with the buffoon Cameron and MI6 didn’t criminally overthrow the elected Ukrainian government in 2014 to bring in “regime change” to their (who’s exactly?) advantage.
How many people have died in that region since 2014?
All thanks to US/CIA/globalist foreign policy.
And you decide to make some ill advised comment in support of that drug addict Zelensky??? LOL
Look up Zelensky, a television Z list Ukraine celebrity who openly admitted he only ran for president to raise his profile and he ended up winning thanks to the stupidity of the people there.
Look him up on the tube when he was actually president on TV making a mockery of his own national anthem, looking drunk or stoned and standing there with an other man like a street drunk with his pants down around his ankles!!!!
And you support this cretin against Russia?????
Learn some history about Europe and these imbeciles who are nothing more than NWO puppets just like Biden and Trudeau…PLEASE!!!!!!!
I suspect that military commanders in the area know damned well where their artillery shells should not go …
sundance,
not all of the Ukraine. what we are seeing are the first surgical strikes in a classical take-out-command-and-control. that is the only reason it is widespread – the pics of blown up radars are starting to trickle out. in order to get troops in through the eastern border and Crimea, without Ukrain AF assets (and they are significant) the ground based radar/satellite comms must be destroyed first. it will take a few days or weeks, but there will be a DMZ line drawn up somewhere along the Dnepr river – Crimean forces have already consolidated and taken out the dammed-up canal that Ukr has had there cutting them off of water for several years. the “shock and awe” phase from the Russian forces are intended to hasten the departure of Ukr forces from the eastern regions. fyi, this is exactly what i’ve been saying would happen for awhile now.
there is more to this that i can expound upon but will back off a bit for now.
PS: i believe Putin-Biden are literally in cahoots. that Russia must take back and protect the Donbas and Crimea especially after the Bear-poking by the Ukr government – they stopped retirement, pension, and assistance money to all those in the eastern regions; they stopped allowing goods and merchandise to travel overland on the only hwy (M30) from the west to east that links Donetsk and Lohansk and the Russian border. in fact, the annual Belorus-Russian war games that were scheduled a year ago allowed this buildup along eastern Ukraine. ergo, a hot war comes JUST IN TIME for the media to focus entirely away from the Truck Convoy coming across the US and oh by the way… CPAC is now being literally blotted out in the media…. and oh by the way again, don’t look now but China is massing warships in the Taiwan straits. imagine that.
I agree about Biden and Putin. To me, it is obvious.
i posted a reply to my previous, but it seems to be stuck. hey admin! 😀
Agreed. This looks more like a take out comms and logistics and diversionary operation to allow full annexation of the Crimea. He can’t afford to fight an insurgency. He will muscle zelendkyy out and get a puppet installed. The EU then gets its gas and Russia gets naval bases to the black sea along with resources in Ukraine. As a bonus He removes the US DOS from his doorstep. We need to be watching Xi and certain you’re right because FJB balked at commenting on China signaling Ukraine is where he’s been told we should have our attention.
Bear-poking by the Ukr government – they stopped retirement, pension, and assistance money to all those in the eastern regions; they stopped allowing goods and merchandise to travel overland on the only hwy (M30) from the west to east that links Donetsk and Lohansk and the Russian border.
If these breakaway republics wanted out of Ukraine, and aligned themselves with Russia, why would Ukraine have to continue to pay assistance and pensions? That’s just crazy. They wanted out, then they should be on their own or should get assistance from Russia.
they were getting assistance from Russia. the entire regions stores were apparently stocked with contriband from Russia via the overland border or from the ferry boats at Kerch on the Crimea and Mariupol to Rostov-on-Don. millions of folks live in the region, and they still need toothpaste and crackers and toilet paper. for the past year or so… it didn’t come from Ukraine.
I have to give this opinion some credence, “Putin-Biden are in cahoots”. I have actually had this suspicion myself, but deferred to Sundance’s analysis. Remember when Obama told Russia that he would have more flexibility after the election (2012). I believe that Obama/Biden privately agreed to give away territories to Russia, while stating the opposite publicly.
It reminds me of that video of the liberal lady physically assaulting some while simultaneously shouting “quit assaulting me”, even though she is the guilty one. Essentially, I think The Biden regime gave away Ukraine behind the scenes, while publicly shouting “don’t invade Ukraine or else…”
You are so right-on reeko! Thr Russian “invasion” of Ukraine is designed to take American eyes off what is happening with Taiwan.
“Putin-Biden are literally in cahoots”
Interesting theory, and I cannot immediately dismiss it. Time will tell I suppose. But if this were true, than the top 3 world powers, US-China-Russia, are basically all on the same page and not in any conflict with each other. That is a scary thought for the world, knowing how much evil there is between them all.
Biden/Putin were in cahoots until they weren’t. Putin read the lay of the land and called an audible…
I don’t think Biden is capable of being in cahoots with his own nuts, much less Putin.
Ban Ki Moon stated in 1991 that he would help establish The Ukraine border, a key element of an independent state. This was never completed. Therefore, it was always already part of the RF.
Who is Ban??
He was the head of the UN.
With due respect you may have under estimated just how weak this administration looks internationally. I didn’t do any better. I thought he’d drive to the separatist border and maybe lob some artillery into western Ukraine until they got the hint that the Donbass was now independent.
Ukraine doesn’t hold most the semi-conductor production like Taiwan does. Next up, China. We will have to kick the Marxists out of power here one way or the other to survive as we get cut off from half the world’s production capabilities.
Yes, could be US bioweapons labs in Ukraine. – Newsweek
https://www.newsweek.com/russia-china-nikolai-patrushev-vladimir-putin-biological-weapons-1581896
How about the bioweapons Lab we already know about … in WuHan?
Taiwan will be invaded by the CCP before Ukraine makes the 6 O’Clock news.
I agree. Much better spoken than what I could write.
MSNBC just analyzed the situation to say that Putin is unstable and old. Sanctions will not matter because of his blind ambition. He cares nothing for his own people. Only power matters to him. They suggest getting someone close to him to take control of Russia. Really! Yes, really. LOL.
Or it’s the fact that area has a different civilization, called the Orthodox civilization.
Different alphabet.
Different faith. (Orthodox Christianity)
Different than the libertine Western Civilization.
THAT’s what NATO is exporting to Ukraine and Russia … yeah, decidedly unorthodox
How cute.
I thought the progressives had ruled out any mention of religion?
PMSNBC projecting much again…🤔
Yeah, the irony is rich.
That is rich!
OH!
At first I read this as Biden was unstable and old.
I thought wow, how brazen msnbc has become…
haha
If Putin is unstable and old how can we describe Biden who makes Putin look more like a spring chicken?
This is the same rubbish they propagate against Trump and anyone who defends their own nation state.
MSNBC and the American news media should throw away their Freud.
In 2016 they said that Trump was a Russian agent the only Russian conspiracy is a US Media that is an exact replica of Pravda in the old Soviet Union.
Unlike Biden….hahaha
Was that possibly Joy Reid? She seems prone to getting one side mixed with the other. Maybe she was thinking about Biden and talking about Putin.
Chuck Todd, actually. LOL
I’m anxiously waiting to hear Joy Reid’s take on the situation before making any judgements.
So, now Putin is Biden’s twin? LOL
Is MSNBC looking at Russia or the US? We have an unstable, demented, old fool as our leader.
Have you heard anything about labs run by NIH creating viruses ( gain of function). and bio weapons under the Defense Department that are built on the border of Russia and through out Ukraine….which could explain the DC Swamp special interests in Ukraine? It also explains the attack being more dispersed— knocking out labs.
I believe they said something about communications of Collins confirm this. Can’t find the tweet I read to post.
Here’s the article on it.

Are US-run biological labs in Ukraine one of the reasons behind Russia invasion? Read how Russian govt had raised ‘bioweapons’ alarm
https://www.opindia.com/2022/02/russia-ukraine-invasion-bioweapons-labs-patrushev-putin-wuhan-coronavirus/
I posted articles on Presidential thread.
Thanks -haven’t been on there yet today.
On Telegram:
I am seeing speculation that could include US installed biolabs.
At first I was like no way.
Then I started digging.
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1496745429672857602.html
For some reason, I’m seeing Putin as the good guy in this.
Can’t fathom why…/s
Because you are not a Ukranian.
I don’t think Putin has ever been a good guy, just another tyrannical dictator who built a 20 mile mansion for himself while the citizens suffer.
Well at least he isn’t openly campaigning to kill 95% of world’s population so he has that going for him.
Unlike a bunch of Western elites with their billionaire oligarchs backing them up.
Like obama and his seaside mansions.
Not a good guy, just Lester Weevils.
It’s obvious now why Trump’s phone call to Zelensky created such a hysterical response from the Cabal and led to impeachment. Ukraine is where our corrupt “leaders” go to cash in. The Biden’s activity there is a feature not a bug.
Yup, they make offers that can’t be refused.
Right you are, Josh.
Does the US have bioweapons labs on the Russian border?
The Russians think so.
Unlike members of the US government, the Russian government hasn’t lied to me personally, so I’m apt to believe them over US compulsive liars.

I’m with you on this.
It does not help that our illegitimate US President destroyed America’s ability to supply European gas and oil needs, forcing their dependence on Russia. Western Europe will do nothing. They are completely outmatched and outmaneuvered by the Russians.
The Afghan withdraw disaster emboldened our enemies, and discouraged our allies.
The entire global geopolitical order could not be more mismanaged by the US if we tried. Stolen elections have huge consequences.
Taiwan is now in grave danger.
That’s just it; we ARE trying.
Is there any other kind?
I’ve heard some inkling that Russia is attacking numerous US – Ukrainian Bio-Labs.
Who knows, with the US giving funding to China for the Wuhan labs, Russia may see that as a totally reasonable thing to attack on his doorstep.
Then he can step back to a more ‘reasonable’ position.
The Putin Mafia family hits Ukraine crew and takes their turf; now to demand a piece of the action from the West / Biden Mafia Family.
Not a piece – all of it. Just like Michael Corleone taking the casino from Moe Greene.
Did anyone really think a sternly garbled babble by sleepycreepy would stop anything ???????????????????
Or a Kamala Kackle?
Alternative Scenario, in the event Putin wants to avoid protracted Ukrainian guerrilla warfare that could lead to an Afghanistan-style Quagmire-and-Retreat for Russia:
TACTICAL OUTCOMES behind Putin’s attack along 4 axes:
• Belarus to Kiev (East side of river to avoid Ukrainian pre-positioned forces on the West side)
… to preoccupy forces and position for a Negotiated Cease-Fire
• Russia to K (Major Ukrainian city in a likely “Demonstration Attack”
… to divert/preoccupy Ukrainian forces from coming to aid of other attack axes.
• Russia to Donbas (2 breakaway districts) to build new bases supporting a continued offensive
… to create Russian-Corridor to Crimea and envelop Sea of Asov including Ukrainian-Export Ports
• Crimea to West that will extend the Russian-Corridor from Crimea to Romania
… to eliminate Ukrainian-Export Ports to the Black Sea
STRATEGIC OUTCOMES:
• ECONOMICALLY CHOKE Ukraine into agreement
… to install a Russian-puppet Ukrainian Political Regime
• EMBARGO EXPORTS of Ukrainian Food, Fertilizer, Oil, Gas and Natural Resources
… until Ukraine joins a RUSSIAN AXIS for ECONOMIC EXTORTION
• SPIKE EXPORT PRICES of Energy, Agriculture and Natural Resources
… to the Western World Countries
• STRANGLE Western Countries of Export-Supply
… if ANY of them INTERFERE with the AXIS.
Axis #2 should be
”• Russia to Kharkiv …”
On citizens free press site there is a report Putin has offered 2 demands to Ukraine. Basically agreeing to no nato weapons being placed on Ukraine soil. The attack will be called off tomorrow if they agree to the terms
He’s making it easy to say YES!
This war is basically Russia vs Corrupt US Pols and Deep State.
Tell that to Ukranians.
I completely agree. They get caught up in the crossfire because of our corrupt leaders.
Acceptable losses, collateral damage…
Tell that to the Ukrainians
They are probably very well aware.
“In many ways Ukraine is a vassal state of U.S. leftist politics.”
…and leftist US politics now forms a functional vassal state of the PRC. Although their intellectual hubris makes the Left blind to their own folly.
Doom On Them
Syria too–remember a US Ambassador–Robert Ford?–being declared PNG because he was roaring around stirring up trouble…
So FJB’s idea of ‘just a tiny incursion’ and Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin’s perception of one are not the same?
That wording was super odd.
And when asked if that’s what he said;
Biden’s reply was, It did sound like that, didn’t it?
Wow, we’ve been played – and I agree that they are in cahoots to some degree.
Sundance, I don’t blame you for being wrong. When the I.C. lies so often it is hard to believe them when they tell a particle truth. Harder still to figure out which parts is truth and which parts are false, but then keeping us confused is their main job.
The IC could have shown satellite images of the Russian buildup, and I don’t just mean context-free close-ups of trucks and tanks but images that show where their forces were deployed, in what numbers, and where all the logistic support needed to support an invasion was. This is just the sort of thing the IC trotted out to sell America on the Iraq adventure, so they’re clearly capable of providing this sort of evidence (or the appearance of evidence) when they want to. Apparently, for some reason, they didn’t want to. I find that strange.
“I doubt most of the western Ukrainian people can see how the U.S. involvement in their political affairs has put their country into this vulnerable position, in the same way most of the American people do not see the manipulation in the U.S. 2020 election.” This is true. The Ukrainian people like most here do not pay all that much attention to politics. They do however still consider everything American to be wonderful and something to aspire to. This I know from personal experience from when I traveled there. The country is beautiful and the people are very nice. But after what just happened, I’m sure they are rethinking their “adoration” of the U.S.
Vindman is the poster boy for this neocon disaster.
“The West is leading Ukraine down the primrose path, and the end result is Ukraine is going to get wrecked.” – John Mearsheimer
I was over at his twitter account. I had to shake my head. If he is the example of what passes for a smart Ukrainian, they have no leadership.
I’m saying that with the knowledge that my Grandpa emigrated from Ukraine in 1910. He told lots of stories about the old country. My brother helped a Donetsk family emigrate to Canada a few years ago. The family wouldn’t talk much about Ukraine due to fear for their family members back home. From what I heard, the oligarchs steal anything they want. Ukraine is lawless.
I didn’t think Putin would do this, but I agree with Sundance… I think Putin basically got tired of the class weakling (Biden) trying to act like Mr. Tough guy.
And when it comes down to it, Russia simply cannot allow NATO expansion into the Ukraine. Not given their history.
Zelensky refused the Minsk Accords. His troops were still shelling the break-away Republics.
How many U.S. secrets are buried in he Ukraine?
We know about the money laundering. There were rumblings that the Ukraine possibly one day acquiring nukes. And now there is speculation (might not be true) that there could be U.S. biolabs in the region.
Does anybody have the ability/access to post the old article from Sundance that described how countries like Ukraine are used to launder money to families of politicians with secret bank accounts???
Zelensky should have listened to Pres. Trump
If the DS can remove President Trump, what chance did Zelenskyy stand?
You can bet the political criminal sons and daughters of politicians who have been in the Ukrainian cookie jar have green lighted this invasion.
The 4th branch of government is just as involved in the manipulation of truth while they fully support Osama and will see how long before China walks right into Taiwan
Romney was freaking out, using his ‘toughest’ words.
I’ve got thoughts flooding my mind right now too.
I hope Ukraine is all Putin wants. The talk of rebuilding the soviet union doesn’t seem too far fetched though I’m sure he’d build back better.
My other thought is “in geopolitics, the truth doesn’t matter. What matters is how world leaders act.”
I have one son already a veteran, another who is eligible for the draft and one who will be in a short time.
I have a feeling that this is an attack on US corruption in Ukraine. It’s the thing which makes this make the most sense. Neither I nor my brother (both veterans) did not believe or expect Putin would do anything less than what he did with Crimea.
And frankly, I think it caught all of Europe by complete surprise too… mostly because they are all led my SJWs.
Putin hates Soros and other globalists. The dynamics are about to change fast.
Retired Magistrate here: Why does Putin appear to be invading all of Ukraine; because he can. No one is going to stop him. Also, what is to keep him from continuing to invade all the countries that used to be part of the USSR. Nothing. Putin is using the same justification Hitler did in 1939 when Hitler invaded Poland. Hitler stated that Poland was making aggressive moves against Germany so Hitler had to attack. Of course it was just the opposite, but that didn’t matter to Hitler.
Putin stated that the two new independent countries that he annexed were being invaded by Western Ukraine, so he had to attack. Of course this conflict in Ukraine has been going on for years; Putin used it to his advantage. Yes, I am sure Putin has other motives, but still the biggest one for him to invade is because he can. This is what happens when the US has a weak leader who is more concerned about climate change, gender identity and face masks that he is about foreign affairs.
You can bet it was CIA+enlistees and their monkey business. The corruption is so thick, deep and wide both parties have their thumbs in the Ukraine pie.
Which would explain WILLARD “The🐀Rat” ROMNEY going apoplectic.
while Ukraine gets shafted… the people I mean.
.
It’s strategic disabling of Ukraine to (proxy) carry out U.S. saber-rattling. Biden and co. caused this.
While I am sure Putin is far more knowledgeable about European history than Biden, I do not believe this a simple comparison with what happened under Hitler. I think Peter Hitchens, one of only a few astute and honest English journalists, is probably closer to the truth when he writes:
Ukraine is, in fact, much like Russia in its corruption, political sleaze, oligarchs, dirty money and dodgy politics. It is not especially free and the rule of law is absent. And, as you now know in detail, there are quite a few Nazis. If we are going to interfere in this very complex problem, then we are going to need to tell each other the truth about it.
He is inflicting as much pain as he can and showing what he can do with the weapons he has to convince Ukraine to not allow NATO on Ukrainian soil. If zelensky agrees things go back to normal as much as normal can be.
Here is the most basic of all facts.
Europe has multiple factors of greater economic strength, greater financial resources, larger population, and industrial capacity.
If Europe “falls” to Russia, it can only happen because Europeans themselves don’t think it is worth defending. Europe insists that the US defend Europe while simultaneously, Europeans regard the US as the greatest threat to world peace (Poland and other Eastern European countries are exceptions).
The one thing that would help democrats most politically, that would cause the economy to rebound, that would cause prices to drop,
The one thing that would hurt Putin the most, that would empty his coffers and undermine his economic blackmail,
Is the one thing that Biden and other Democrats refuse to do.
Why would they not unleash America’s oil and natural gas industries? That would help them and hurt Putin more than any sanction.
All Bull Climate Change?
Klaus Schwab’s Glow Bull Reset?
Submission to Some World Wide Government?
A strong desire to out dictate, to be worse than Putin?
The goal is to get gas up to $10/Gallon at which point green energy starts to look profitable.
Brilliant!!!! Sundance! Brilliant. My gosh. I swear you articulate things I am thinking — and I am sure many others too — in a way that is simply cathartic. I’ve followed the “impeachment” and the dirty corrupt state department characters, and it’s so obvious, but only YOU could nail it like this. Thank you. I am sharing this one, just like I do almost all your articles. Please don’t ever stop doing what you do. We are all spreading your truth.
Just as an aside, I took my picture outside the Ukraine embassy (such as it is) in a Where’s Hunter T-shirt on early Thanksgiving morning a couple of years ago, and posted on fascist book back when I had an account. I jumped out and had my son take the picture. It was early Thanksgiving morning. My wife thought I was crazy, but my friends laughed like hell.
That’s OK, Boss, you’re bound to miss one every now and then. You’ve been on a long streak of correct predictions (on some I know even you wished you were wrong).
But there was little historically reliable intel on this; our own IC / State Dept. annihilated their own credibility long ago. And speculation across the entire journalistic / opinion pundit spectrum was widely disparate.
Putin benefitted from the absence of honest & competent leadership in the U.S. Executive branch, both in the White House and the I.C.. He also benefitted from the western nations’ political cross-conflicts about Ukraine, and he appears to have used it to full advantage so far.
Sundance, you may not have been totally wrong. Putin saw the reaction of Biden and decided to go for it. Lol! It’s what I would have done. And speaking as someone who’s part Ukrainian and part Russian, those people might be better off. Keep doing what you’re doing!!
I am beyond angry, today! Biden has attacked every aspect of our security and prosperity and valuable way of life. There is no longer a sense of security. Everyone I know is adding cameras and alarm systems to protect their homes from the breakdown of society. As I write this the stock market is down 760 points, after yesterday’s 600 point loss!!
This morning, I started calling the offices of Senators to express my lack of support for involvement in Ukraine. I saw on their websites, position statements about Ukraine, urging “unity” and support for a freedom-loving nation and our European Allies.
Didn’t their mothers ever ask them: “If your best friend jumped off a bridge, would you follow?” Are these Senators stupid enough to defend Biden and the State Department under the guise of “Americans must stick together.” Bideng has been ginning up this “crises, and even today refused to extend oil leases on Federal Land to ease the U.S. oil crises!
This is all an intentional effort to bring down America! Doesn’t it matter that 70% of the American people do NOT want our involvement in Ukraine?
I’m beginning to suspect that you are correct!
Senators and House members have been enriching themselves at the Ukrainian Bank of Corruption for at tleast the last 20 years, don’t expect many lifers there to do anything but HHHAAARUPH!!! Putin BAD!!! Their families and themselves have lived an upper income level way of life off the backs of US taxpayers having to pay for all their 10% kickback bills to all foreign nations.
The central bank mafia (CBM) is coordinating all events to prevent We the People from challenging their take down of freedom and independence across the Western democracies. Once the CBM installed their puppet (FJB) into the white house they quickly moved to neutralize free American people’s assets that Trump had built up (border control, energy independence, curtailing drug and sex trade, strengthened military, etc.) In less than a year the Obama-Biden team has inflicted huge damage on America all with their left wing sheeple cheering them on. Patriots are going to need to unify on all fronts: U.S. military, police departments at all levels, everyday patriots if we are going to restore America. It will not be easy or pretty but it must be done.
I am surprised that Putin waited this long. I expected this. A Uni-party party along with its INTEL friends for six years accused Putin and President Trump of being in cahoots with one another. These Uni-party people and their intel friends who used the country of Ukraine for their own benefit are responsible for whatever may come of this. I look at this as Putin saying F**k You MF’s, your day in Ukraine is over.
It may be a naive way of looking at things, Tit for Tat, but did the US Intel really think they could push and push and push Putin and not think he would react. He has his chance, and he is taking it.
YES!!!!THIS!!!!!
I find it interesting….all of the sanctions being thrown around were already in place and removed sometime between Jan 6 and the 13th of 2020 I believe. Maybe it was February, but no reason to be picky. Trump had these sanctions in place for almost about, if not over, 3 years and FJB took them away. And, look at that a year later and Russia is doing what they did the last two times FJB was in the White House: 2008 it was Georgia and in 2012 Crimea. Almost identical incursions, using identical tactics. The two things in common: FJB/Obama WH and Putin invading previous territories of the USSR.
And, now, Germany won’t support sanctions, particularly those involving SWIFT, because- well, they need that crude and natural gas. Italy is also not supporting, they are aligned with Germany. So, will they re-use the Axis moniker or the Central moniker…ironically one of these countries seems to be consistent.
Remember folks Putin has not oppressed his people with mandates, he has not forced vaccines, and he has very high support from his people. Do you know who can’t say that: the U.S., Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, New Zealand, and Australia- all supposedly free countries. Putin has more support from his countrymen than a few of the leaders of the countries I mention combined.
My wife is kind of appalled that I defended Putin….I’m sorry, for me, it’s about how a leader treats their own countrymen- and Putin has far greater support at home than any of the leaders of the supposed free western world.
At least mush for brains said, at the moment, no Americans will be fighting. Good, they shouldn’t be in harms way for the Biden/Pelosi/Romney/Kerry family grift.
What if Putin banned Russian Companies from using SWIFT
… announcing Beijing Biden gave him the idea as a Counter-Sanction
… requiring countries to pay for that oil and gas in GOLD?
Putin already has total control, he doesn’t need to create it.
The Russian vaccine is a traditional one, not Mrna. What’s that tell you.
Oceania is always at war with Eastasia.
Goebbels’ theory of propaganda was mix truth with lies so no one is ever quite sure.
But little Joe could not have imagined our world, where foreign and domestic news sources, large or small, all cooperate and coordinate on the lies.
I’m suggesting we have reached the point where a huge foreign war could be reported where none exists.
The traditional source of news for centuries was foreign travelers (Marco Polo). Co-Vid seemed like a huge attack on the very concept of travel. Leftists are huge opponents of travel. And fighting global warming seems based on reduced travel, foreign or domestic.
The lifeline of the imprisoned citizens of the Eastern Bloc, the Soviet Union was foreign news (the BBC, the Voice of America). Shut that down and the poor Soviets would have been trapped in an alternative reality. Kind of like the world Democrat Americans live in now?
I was wrong too about Russia attacking, or better put, my WAG was wrong.
Patience … there will be many WAG opportunities this year.
But not with ChYna – they’re the DOG and we’re the TAIL.
Germany should not have shut down it’s last 2 Nuclear Power Plants. France hasn’t done so. Germany is irresponsible and stupid to pave over forests and farmland with windmills.
At least Germany has the satisfaction of paying some of the highest electrical rates in the world. of course, German industry receives subsidies so they can export cars to the US at competitive prices and somehow that isn’t a problem for the so called “free trade” advocates (as opposed to fair trade).
“competitive?”…they subsidize their auto manufacturing and TARIFF ours that are imported….sounds like a competitive DISADVANTAGE by government decree to me
The Saker predicted this yesterday, and mentions that the Ukronazis have been making noises about getting their hands on tactical nukes. (which may be available from certain quarters)…as well as the fact that civilians in the Russian areas were still dying from the Ukronazi shelling of civilian areas…Those facts shed light on the Russian need to move swiftly against these criminals..

Saker, really? You fell for it?
This is a lesson in never taking half measures…
Via Beck… short vid (3 minutes), date unknown. What Putin said & “they” don’t want to talk about. Don’t let it go down the memory hole…

Russia was promised by the European Union and NATO and our secretary of state James Baker that when the Soviet Union fell NATO and the European Union would not move one inch Eastward.
At that time they were 12 NATO Nations now there are 30 so the West lied.
Yes, this is what it is all about
Friends in Bangor Washington posted photos on FB of Ohio Class subs leaving home port.
My wager Taiwan Strait is their destination.
As a Navy Vet, Ohio class subs go to and from Bangor all the time. Been there done that, and nothing to start getting all COVID over.
And as for me, “should we really be talking on public forums about military operations?” Loose Lips Sink Ships.™
This is an excellent point as well.
they are on REGULAR assigned patrols…they do more time at sea than a CVN and it is considerable….only way they can do it is using Blue-Gold crews to keep em moving
Someone is still lying.
So then. That puts an end to the Biden-Ukraine crime partnership? What will Hunter do? He’s uniquely unqualified to do anything other than leech off daddy’s position … and the American taxpayer.
Personally, we shoild be more concerned about China. Our country’s eyes have been taken off of the invasion of Taiwan that will happen under Joe and the Ho!
Does anyone recall reading one of the books by Dr. Seuss about Bartholomew Cubbins and the oobleck which was getting all over the place?
I remember as a child thinking about that funny name, oobleck and how it sounded to me like googol and googolplex which I think were supposed to be really big, big numbers (according to an almanac my grandmother had) . . . I was going to write a letter to Dr. Seuss and ask him how he came about calling that stuff “oobleck” . . .
anyway, maybe Putin is helping Zelensky get rid of all that globalist oobleck making messes in his country . . . in return, a solid alliance between Ukraine and Russia as sovereign trading partners WITHOUT all the slavering wolves wanting their 10 percents.
Ukraine doesn’t have the chops to stand on equal footing with Putin and he knows it. This is not the background for a partnership with much balance.
They will probably become a slave state to Russia.
It benefits Russia to have control over who rapes Ukraine and whomever is allowed must answer to Russia.
That would be Putinesque.
Zelensky: “He made me do it” 😉
A googol is a 1 with a 100 zeros after it. A googolplex is a googol to the googol power. The name was coined in 1920 by the 9-year-old nephew of a famous mathematician. Might have been inspired by the Barney Google comic strip.
Could someone tell me why its not feasible that Bidens people and Russia are not coordinating this latest manufactured crisis mutually?
Both sides benefit from whats taking place and all the actions from Bidens people have either assisted Russia and/or appear to be purposefully weak and ineffective by design.
So far all I hear to the contrary is that ” taking all of Ukraine away from U.S. control puts a stop to our using the Russian border state for our own interests.”
Of course it’s possible, but we’ll have to judge if that’s true based upon their behavior from here on out.
This is a U.S. coordinated invasion of Ukraine and the way its being done is to hide their involvement of it.
Trying to share this as much as I can. It’s an interesting topic, and the fact that the writer was promptly banned only adds more weight to it.
Is Russia targeting US biolabs in Ukraine?

The US government is woke and gay. It does not paint a scary picture.
They would have to have an inclusivity meeting before any action is taken.
Thank you Sundance. We know that no one can predict the future and no one is right all the time, but your take on these things is always important to your readers.
This looks like Kennedy’s Cuban missile crisis in reverse, except Kennedy did not go all in to invade Cuba. Maybe he should have.
Ukraine is the region’s breadbasket. Beyond U.S. geopolitics, the region will need a reliable food supply as we head into the modern gsm.
Though we will never know for sure, there are G7 members wistfully wishing there was a big, strong MAGA POTUS right now. Imagine looking at Biden, Trudeau and Macron, and thinking that anything good could come out of negotiations.
