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.
Putin is draining the swamp and NATO doesn’t like it.
I’m sorry, but Russia is even more corrupt than Biden. No swamp draining. Just one set of criminals ousting another set of criminals.
They want Chernobyl back. Putin left his wallet there, going to get it.
LTC Vindaman, single-handedly, is to blame.
Fitting.
The Ruskies will build his statue in the center of Kyev….soon to be renamed St Alexis Square.
I think LTC fat boy is now full bird Col Vindaman. Promotion well earned after brutalizing PDJT on the world stage when he was in office…
IIRC he was denied his promotion—retired—then there was public flack about his denial…..unless they changed the rules (very possible w Dimm/commies) he would have been required to serve another 3 years to lock in his promotion….he didn’t
Still a boy? I tho’t he would have come out by now.
Next week, dresses. And he is….
Victoria?
….Alexis!
Alexandria!
Please clap.
In the world with real justice he would have been court marshalled.
Vindman is a *symptom* of the problem.
He prides himself on being a ‘good soldier’. The globalist ‘tell’ is his fear & loathing of Trump.
All of the State Deptartment operatives in Ukraine are *traitors* to the Constitution of the US and to We The People.
They must all be hanged.
NBC – Hilarious Headline (or Head-lie)
Russia and Ukraine’s conflict isn’t Biden’s
fault. But many voters won’t see it that way.
The stench is bad. Where’s that bus that says Journalism is DEAD? 🙂
The picture, Putin manspreading, Biden covering his vagina, says it all.
PhD (honorary) Jill had his junk mounted on the White House fireplace mantle in specimen jar on day 1. The crossed legs are to protect his wound.
I can never not see that now.
One nice thing about Biden being a puppet, is he can shoot himself in the foot and it doesn’t hurt!
But Jill might want to be careful about the splinters though!
Is that what is in the little baby food jar that is on the WH mantle?
Internet post winner of the day
Elections have consequences. Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences!
Now, for the rest of the story.
When Biden allowed Iran to continue with producing uranium for a bomb, the slow trigger to World War III was pulled. Israel has long since promised to attack Iran. Russia and Iran have a mutual defense agreement.
When Biden came to the aid of the rest of the cookie kids. He pulled the fast trigger to World War III. NATO may very well come to the assistance of Ukraine at the request of Biden.
The Globalist want genocide and a nuclear war would do it, and it could very well provide the cover needed for the non-vaccine. Who would be crazy enough to do it.
Now, if Russia takes Ukraine, then who do you think will be revealed for making bioweapons? The Globalist and the Cookie Kids. What would you do to prevent this?
The Secret US Bioweapons Labs in Ukraine and Georgia
Posted on February 24, 2022
Back in 2018 I started coming across stories with documented evidence of secret bioweapons labs in the nations of Georgia and Ukraine. In fact it was this story by Bulgarian investigative journalist Dilyana Gaytandzhieva that broke things open for me and it’s what I based my video on at the time.
https://dontspeaknews.com/2022/02/24/the-secret-us-bioweapons-labs-in-ukraine-and-georgia/
” Are we the Baddies?” Well if we’re doing bioweapons development in black sites around the world, yes.
And there is probably a lot more than this black site that, if known, would definitely be evidence our being “Baddies”.
Can add Child trafficking to the list
Better add McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Biden’s picture in this. Great photo taken a few years ago was McCain and Graham getting medals from leaders in Ukraine. And we all know about Biden and his son getting millions of dollars from Ukraine.
Well, Soros and Obama engineered a coup in 2014, and Soros ran the place for a year. It would be pure folly not to consider that the globalists are behind a lot of this.
second,
anyone (ANYONE) who assumed putin.russia was not bluffing is a completel ignorant fool.
all YOU HAD TO DO is turn your attention to 8 years of STRATEGY that placed the ball in the endzone.
(protip: lets NOT repeat the same mistakes as the radical embeciles who completely discount reality because orange man bad. Yes, Biden is a navel gazing ambulatory sock of malarkey…BUT there IS a entire world out there that doesn’t give two shits about US politics or how you feel about the the failures of the US administration…we need to STOP focusing EXCLUSIVELY on the degenerates in this country and understand the big picture….the big picture will set the tone for global everything for the next 100 years. CCP domination with Russia acting to pressure in real time europeans states and make them cave. )
HOW DO YOU THINK THAT RUSSIA WEATHERED EVERY SINGLE SANCTIONS, TRADE RESTRICTION, EMBARGO?
china.
get WITH THE PROGRAMME.
I mean it.
it is well and good we understand the failures at “home”.
but this is a global state of nations…has been for over 40 years.
Russia IS NOT A FRIEND,
POUND THAT INTO YOUR HEAD.
IT DOES NOT MATTER WHO THE EFFING POTUS IS!
RUSSIA IS NOT YOUR FRIEND,
WE will rue the day that THIS administration ushered in the new great reset.
made possible with one of the most strategic success BY CHINA THROUGH RUSSIA TO BECOME TOP TIER ENERGY.
Just my opinion.
I AM VERY PISSED OFF. WHO CARES,
YOU SHOULD CARE,,,IT SHOULD MAKE YOU GO INTO THE STREET AND DEMAND MILITARY RESPONSE>
that’s what hurts the most…americans, whom I consider partiots have lost the big picture,
don’t lose it for too long.
you just witnessed what happened when you lose the picture.
and yes, I mean you and you,
all OF US!
Nobody cares. We got border trouble to the south and nazis to the north, and China in the white house. Russia and Ukraine can deal with Russia and Ukraine. If the eu wants to get involved let them.
The EU cannot fight Russia. They hired NATO (the US) to do that for them. None have a military today that can argue with Russia and win. Not one. There is only one weapon, if released first, if, could push Russia back. That weapon is nuclear. Brace your mind and recognize it will be a w o r l d w a r.
1000 X yes! I’m with you.
You are more than welcome to go fight for Ukraine – but I don’t think American’s kids should be sent to fight over the uniparty’s money laundering partner.
you really have no idea what happens next..
do you?
yes, the US will have a military conflict with russia.
under THIS adminsitration.
why?
because that is exactly what china wants.
and you know what?
no better than later when you have very bad options.
what DO WE FIGHT FOR?
answer that truthfully.
you will find that question should haunt you as you watch TWO (02, not one, not three, TOOOWWWOOO) countries working hand in glove to throw down and demonstrate suprememe military and political power.
And the US ain’t one of them.
if that doesn’t strike you are worrisome..
let me be clear: it’s doesn’t really matter that you got your election stolen by a ccp19 bioweapon.
you let this happen by indifference will be the way history will forget about you,
think about it carefully.
I despise WAR/VIOLENCE>
However, what we are seeing here is worse than nazi germany…far far worse.
and yet…here we ARE…
you really have no idea what happens next do you?
be honest.
you live for the moment in the present.
many of US< THE PEOPLE …having been there done that…SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!
THAT is something to really take to heart..
God Bless America
I most certainly do not need your or anyone else’s “welcomed permission” to FIGHT FOR MY COUNTRY AND OPPOSE RUSSIAN AND CHINESE RULE.
Kids ….I was a kid once. You know what mattered to me?
MY father. he explained how things work in the real world.
When you sit idle and do nothing, evil happens. every SINGLE TIME.
he’s my hero.
So, I will support my father’s principles.
And yes, I do BELIEVE that KIDS will do what many (OF YOU) do not have the stomach, courage and tenacity to OWN.
Now that I have THAT off my chest. Let me end with this:
I respect every single person here at CTH. I do. I honor this place because it has been a wellspring of knowledge and good will…emphasis later!
I believe this place is like no other. One can debate, even perhaps step “over the line” (in the modern woke environment, I really don’t have context…I’m old school..very old school. I mean what I way and I do what I mean. I am a simply man. Raised to believe in the most deliberate way. I would like to believe I will be remember as that. And nothing more or less).
I am NOT offended my your response lulu…at all.
Believe it or not. Millions just like me made it possible that you and me can have this little chat.
and none of that was from russia and china.
keep that in mind.
God Bless America
long soldier patriot
God bless you and the simple but focused man that you are.
BINGO Lu, BINGO.
what value could Russia have for the US in the future?
none…unless the US and allies break their military power and they concede that forming alliance with china was not in their best interests.
question back to you: what value does the US have to the rest of the world by sitting this one out?
weakning the EU who has lost respect for the US.
Well, they are the largest unabashedly Christian nation on Earth.
[Russia today, not the old Soviet Union]
well drop the unabashedly part and believe it or not CHINA is the largest Christian nation on the planet with over 300M Evangelical Christians…..the CCP has already declared Christianity as an existential threat to their ideology and is cracking down on independent churches
America serves as the banker and marketplace to the world….lack of access to these can put limits to capital and growth but not entirely prevent your advancing your own economy
“the big picture will set the tone for global everything for the next 100 years. CCP domination with Russia acting to pressure in real time europeans states and make them cave. )”
Maybe. But I think Putin just kicked the globalists in the cajones. It’s a big world. I don’t see Russia settling into being the CCP’s bit@h. There is India and Japan and Islam. They aren’t going to all sing kumbaya together. All bets are off as of today. China would do well to remember that Stalin initially made a deal with Germany. How did that work out for them?
history only rhymes.
actors play different roles.
putin is NOTHING like stalin or lenin or any prior oligarth sponsored person.
he is NOW and HAS BEEN a peon to the chinese pressure….
how do you think he weathered the trade restrictions, sanctions, embargoes…?
luck? ha
china came to his rescue.
just as china has ‘rescued” north korea….venezuela….africa.
it REALLY REALLY helps to pay attention and get at least a few months in front of the demented main stream media “curve(BALL)”.
WE are watching what should never have happened.
WHY it happens is simple to explain: natgas global dominance with special deals cut to china for financing it.
The more complicated question: will he US and the rest of the world sit idle and watch china through russia run roughshod at will?
I saw this documentary posted way up this thread and took the time to watch it because I want to understand more about what is going on in Ukraine. I m 55 years old, a product of the Cold War mindset, that everything about Russia is bad and everything about our country is good and just, but the last few years have caused me to open my eyes and get out of my comfort zone, seek the truth for myself.
I have a 21 son who is young Marine, just got home from Japan this week and I will tell you I would not want to sacrifice him for Ukraine or Taiwan, for empty ideals and platitudes that do not mean sh!t to the leadership of our country… our leaders are about money and power plain and simple.
My grandfather was a WWII vet and his father a WWI vet and they both proudly served this nation. I think they would both be profoundly disappointed in what we have become as a nation.
I agree with 100% that China is our enemy, but people in our government are just a beholden to China and perhaps China would benefit us fighting with Russia over Ukraine… just food for thought. Putin is a thu/g and a 3 rd rate leader and China alone benefits if we go to war with him.
China’s military is far less capable than advertised….the only thing it has going for it is size and that evaporates in a REAL conflict
I personally watched police officers arrest individuals in Southern British Columbia at the behest of the Wests “darling” Trudeau.
Bank accounts illegally frozen, lie, after lie. Propped up by a bought and paid for propaganda media.
Trudeau the champion of freedom 🤮 The special ever so kind leader of Canada. Is evil
He, Biden, and the vast majority of Western politicians are pure scum.
Putin is being cheered on by many of the folks we know..
Cheers!
I am NOT ONE OF THEM.
You want to fight for the DAVOS Conclave and the corrupt Governments Franchises comprising their global corporation including the US … planes leave every day for the region. There are even pictures on CNN of them handing our Assault Rifles to all comers. Be sure to have your mask and shot record when passing through Europe to get there.
I am not either but understand Putin’s motives after being our whipping boy for so long and political mischiefs by us right on his own border
I couldn’t disagree more, friend. A military response from the US is a terrible idea. Sending our sons to prop up the US’s puppet regime in Ukraine while our borders remain open is ridiculous. Sorry, can’t follow you on this one.
Delete the apology and it’s a perfect post.
Have at it big guy. If you want a military response pick up an M16 and go fight for the the Congressional kickback money laundering machine and the funding of Hunters crack habit.
China controls our govt. Russia big bad boogie man. Ok, so lets dive into another world war like the globalists want and really destroy our people. Is mass migration and opiates not killing pushing our people to extinction fast enough for you. China and Russia are not the globalists that have never had a home of their own and want to destroy nations. They are also not the ones who control our government.
if you had a “friend” who always looked to blame you and punish you when you did something best for you but not him….what kind of “friend” is that?
I am going to seriously think about that.
as I have for the last 20 years.
and as apparently most Americans have been paralyzed by the same analysis.
I am not paralyzed by analysis.
I can see what is coming.
Friend(ly) or not..I understand the realities of what is about to happen.
and it will make fools of everyone who dances around contemplating rainbows and unicorns.
Please DO NOT take that as insult.
I am white hot angry right now. And probably will be for quite some time.
I have said what I needed to say. I really believe what I am saying is true and accurate.
I think when we revisit this crisis in 2-6 weeks, many people here will have a different view. including myself.
God Bless America
Many are also angry.
But your yelling does not make your comments “hear-able.”
You offer offence by your fallacious negative insinuations on our character when you know little to nothing about us.
CTH is not facebook.
I would suggest that many here are more informed than you and may indeed have not only the large view but perhaps a more accurate larger view.
We’re all of pissed. But…. When the leader of one of the nuclear weapons gang says keep your nose out of this business
or I will use nukes, you either start the mutually assured destruction countdown or you sit down and keep quiet.
Biden and his handlers proved to the world between lifting the sanctions against Russia and the shameful way we pulled out of Afghanistan that we are no longer in a place of power on the world table.
Military action on our part would be screwed up and futile. Look at who’s running the Pentagon and the fat, woke, bourbon Generals and Admirals who are sitting there.
Corrupt politicians from both parties, the intelligence community, the MIC and the press are all complicit in getting US
where we are today. Putin played the hand he was dealt.
Sucks. Big time.
Let’s wait and see just how this all shakes out. If you are following this via the US and European propaganda media, I humbly suggest you stop. They are all in on this.
We are to be reminded for 48 years, since 1974, NATO, the Great Pretender, seduced the European nations to become a member of NATO and in exchange a united NATO would militarily defend it’s members. The USA is NATO. Is the supplier of military everything and is the supplier of nuclear missiles and silos placed on the soil of each European NATO nation. Protection. Safety. Security.
And silo by silo, inside, on the soil of each EU member and NATO member nation are thousands of nuclear missiles we supplied. On NATO military bases. Inside the nations. All, surrounding Russia at it’s Southern border facing Europe and Ukraine. The formation of NATO, the financing of and construction of hundreds of bases, planned and fulfilled immediately following the end of WW II is extraordinary. We surround no one else.
BTW, a map of all of the world’s NATO bases reveals NATO’s plan; NATO, through US President after President, for 48 years, has methodically carried out a plan transparent to Putin. This is not about the Ukraine. This is about who controls Russia’s borders who can be trusted; is that Zelensky and Biden or NATO and Biden or Putin?
One of the primary roots of this crisis is what Russian Federation Foreign Minister Lavrov labeled years ago as our ruling elites being “agreement incapable.” Our globalist elites tried to dismember and enserf Russia after the Cold War. They have since viewed the American Empire with mistrust.
The Russians decided correctly that the (WEF/Davos) globalists will never stop attacking them and that no agreement can be ever be reached with them that accommodates Russian security by ensuring that Ukraine does not host military bases for hostile foreign powers. The Russian perspective is that if a reasonable security agreement cannot be reached because the other side won’t bargain in good faith, then they will impose one that meets their requirements. We would not only do the same, we have done the same back when we used to have a country of our own.
Loyalty is to people, not government. Your nation is your people. A normal country is one people in one state (government): a nation-state. Loyalty in a nation-state flows seamlessly from the nation to state, but it starts at nation.
Our republic is dead. America is an empire now, with many nations inside the state. The American empire grows both by importing new nations (1/5 of El Salvador lives here now) and by using international corporations to seize control over the internal workings of other countries. We owe the open-borders American Empire no loyalty. Don’t send your sons and daughters to die for the imperial warmongering vision of the future pushed by Soros and Schwab while your children’s replacements stream across our borders.
Putin said as much in his speech. The agreed upon treaties were never acted upon so he acted.
Fantastic post. I am saving it.
Cheers!
Well put
what IS MISSING in your impression is the WHY RUSSIA WOULD CHOOSE NOW TO MILITARILY CONTROL UKRAINE AND BELARUS.
let me cut to the chase, so there are no doubts:
this is ABOUT GLOBAL ENERGY DOMINANCE that advances RUSSIA AND AND AND AND CHINA goals for supremacy.
now if that doesn’t strike you are a problem, I really don’t know what can. Seriously, I don’t know what other threat you can locate that surpasses that!
prediction/accurate informed prediction:
Russia continues well past UKR and BELA. It does NOT end there. Why would it? It’s unchallenged power!
China capture Hong Kong and Taiwan IN WHOLE..then next up is the phillipines and possible Indonesia.
And parallel will be more influence and control of southern american nations AND AFRICA.
Think I am a kidding?
trust your enemy when they are telling you the truth….both of these two countries have been collaborating for the LAST 8 years to accomplish global supreme power.
AND THEY ARE WINNING AT IT.
don’t trust me at my word…do you own due diligence. Both countries have been very open about their coordination.
Spoiler: Ukraine is just the first major goal. It WILL NOT be the last!
God Bless America
Thanks S/D for clearing the air. Keep up the good fight….. please !!
I still don’t understand why Biden thinks we have a dog in this fight.
From Day One Biden handed the US Economy over to the Russians and Saudis when he went Green.
Now Americans are suppose to support fighting for a Country to persevere Democracy which we have seen erode in our own Country at the hands of the Political Elites on both sides of the aisle?
Go Brandon
Hunter is Biden’s dog.
“I still don’t understand why Biden thinks we have a dog in this fight.”
Biden doesn’t THINK anything. He is a vegetable. A cypher. People aren’t honestly still under the impression that this demented shell of a human being is actually making any decisions, are they? Every string is being pulled from behind and above Biden.
yes, we need to INVENT A BETTER DESCRIPTION.
sundance has a very good one: the installed one…the white house squat . to paraphrase…you get the point.
NOW, consider putin.. Does anyone here believe honestly believe that putin is actually at the helm and making the calls?
how about trudy up north? same question!
what we HAVE is a deliberate and very focused coordinated agenda
who benefits? who would be most benefited by such control over nations?
china.
get WITH the programme.
or get tied up scrutinizing everything everyone ALREADY KNOWS.
Say it OUT LOUD…and be be confident when you do.
Russia is taking Ukraine because Ukraine has deep water sea ports …Russia has large (amazingly large) natgas resources. More than even saudi arabia in terms of energy potential..and just as cheap.
who would finance such action?
us? no..it is antithetical to US resources.
china.
let me repeat.
CHINA.
that’s your answer. if you doubt this…if you hesitate. then the great reset has been lost on you and you have been consumed and isolated and marginalized in your knowledge of true power. Energy is true power. Who sets that market has it.
simple as that.
“Energy is true power. Who sets that market has it.
simple as that.”
Could you not have stated that, so clearly, way upthread, rather than berating the other posters here? You lost me with the ANGER all IN CAPS in your first post, which was not at all clear.
yes, I could “have” but did not.
and no, there was no berating anyone. I presented my opinions strongly.
if that shocks you ….perhaps the scale and significance of what actually IS HAPPENING IN UKRAINE has been lost on you.
let me be clear so there is no understanding…over a month ago I voiced my opinions about russia agression in ukraine. and very few treepers reacted well to it.
and here we are today.
so yes, I feel a bit of anger…not toward treepers or any sense that there is some vindication about my predictions. But more to do about the nature of being so narrowly focused on internal biden navel gazing circus clown show scenes we all seem to have displaced other things that matter too.
I was dismissed as some kind of war hawk….and today, again, same thing.
I am and never will be a victim …I am above that. But if you want example of “berating”, I suggest you respond to others if that is something your social warrior doctrine requires.
I really don’t care to be honest. You do you. I’m just fine here.
Sound good.
God Bless America
Expect night two will see more airport tarmacs chewed up & spit out.
“… and here we are today.” ~ regi tiger
So where ARE we today?
Where’s all the burning buildings, cars, homes and huts?
Where’s the growing body count and outrage from the usual suspects?
Where’s the weeping women and children wandering aimlessly in the streets?
In this day and age when everyone is a photographer doesn’t the lack of visual evidence of any of that seem rather odd for a “war”? The old BS-O-METER is tracking pretty high right about now.
Something is amiss.
China cannot feed its own people. It has an inherent weakness, the Three Gorges Dam. If the dam is bombed it would end China as you know it. The United States has the food, energy resources and military that can dominate the world if it chooses to use them. One President, Donald Trump was enough to shut both China and Russia up. Our true enemies are our current leaders.
internally yes, enemies aplenty.
but let there be zero doubts….cccp power and dominance is behind all the corruption that matters.
prediction: russia take ukraine, then belarus, then….probably 3 more countries…you can probably guess who they might be (clue: all related to geographic dimension wrt to energy transport!)
prediction: china take taiwan/hong kong…then phillipines and indonesia….you can probably also guess why those would be important to china (clue: both are major manufacturing and shipping lane strategic locations for both economic potential as well as obvious military strategic imperatives).
it’s a one two combo:
russia captures the european natgas market as market maker…unchallenged…and thus establishes gas prices globally. then china performs it’s capture of the most major shipping lanes and manufacturing bases for the most critical technologies (chips and other critical engineered products).
now you have an entire global reach accomplish by two nations working in concert that has the entire world at it’s knees.
that’s the reality.
that’s what is happening.
It’s all the corruption PDJT wanted investigated. That’s their dog in the fight. As I posted elsewhere here earlier. Shredders were running at high speed and hard drives magnetically wiped and a drill bit put through the disk. They were soiling themselves at the thought of Putin finding the goods on them.
As corrupt as it is there, I would not be surprised if he doesn’t already have it.
Israel is the prize. Ezekiel 38. This could be the preliminary. Watch it happen
Can you imagine 4 years of Putin having to listen to Russia, Russia, Russia hoax from people that weren’t even occupying the Whitehouse. He got a taste of Biden regime’s 1 year occupation and said f*ck that!
Love it! This is spirit.

Poor woman.
She could have said this to Hunter Biden also, but might not have lived much longer..
Like the rest of us.
What an effing mess
With Biden taunting Putin for two months with claims that Putin was “about to invade the Ukraine,” it is easy to imagine that Putin began wondering whether now was the time to make his move anyway.
Invade the Ukraine and then dare The Manchurian Marionette to do something about it. The Chinese must be thrilled, and perhaps had told their marionette to taunt Putin, because this chaos allows the Chinese to rattle the cage of Taiwan.
When the U.S. and Europe do NOTHING about the seizure of the Ukraine, the Chinese will easily try their hand against Taiwan.
And Iran will be more than tempted to evaporate Israel: World War III will be televised and be more localized than you thought!
And who knows? Good-bye Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Belarus, etc.! It was nice knowing you!
And remember Afghanistan! Because our enemies were watching closely and liking what they had seen!
Two points to make.
1 Russian generals and strategic advisers are smart, American generals and strategic advisers are dumb. The USA has the most powerful military ever fielded but the idiots who use this military can’t win a war. Conclusion, US generals are the worst generals in the history of warfare. The Italians in WWII at least had the excuse that they were poorly equipped. The US generals have no such excuse. The failure of US military operations and campaigns is not the failure of the superb soldiers in the force, it is entirely the fault of the idiots running the show. Couldn’t occupy and win in Afghanistan costing $ trillion, hundreds of billions in lost equipment and of course life and not a cracker to show for almost 20 years of occupation.
2 Russia strategic history for half a Millenia has remained unchanged – overwhelm the enemy by trading space for time and throw massive numbers of troops at the enemy whilst engaging in strategic denial. But recently, with the loss of the USSR and demographic implosion, Russia hasn’t got the manpower to spare. Russian generals will need to conserve manpower. So the chances that Russia wants to occupy the whole of Ukraine is highly unlikely. Under Putin Russia has repeatedly lopped off contiguous border areas (and Crimea) where there are large ethnic Russian Christian or western enclaves. He incorporates these into Russia like Ossetia and Crimea.
putin has made clear that Russia needs to repopulate to avoid becoming Islamic. Putin knows this will take time and that Islamic birth rates massively outperform Russian birth rates. Therefore he incorporates ethnic Russians to buy time for repopulation to occur. By the time Putin incorporates Crimea and eastern Ukraine into Russia he will have added anywhere from 4 to 7 million Russians into his country. That could be close to 3 or 4% of the whole population. This, I believe is his objective.
The American generals have not lost wars. Politicians lost them. Things aren’t going to go in a linear fashion in ways that happened in the past. It’s not yesterdays war and unlike WWII, it’s really hard to know who the good guys and bad guys are. Yes, there is much corruption and treason within our government. But don’t write Americans off.
the objective is to establish global energy domination…market making principle.
this advances the goal of russia as a state and the long strategy by china….the latter much more significant in the bigger picture.
one cannot simply repopulate and expect to realize growth….exhibit: africa, most of all of south america.
one NEEDS ENERGY to become a stable and thriving and super power.
Russia agenda was financed and is in keeping with traditional russian supremacy goals, but they are in fact financed and directed by china.
has anyone even read anything about the current crisis from a china state media source?
repeat that….HAS ANYONE HERE ACTUALLY READ OR VIEWED ANY CHINESE STATE MEDIA SOURCE ABOUT THE CURRENT UKRAINE CRISIS?
maybe YOU SHOULD!??
See my analysis here: Ukraine’s natural resources and its territory are one thing. But what Putin needs most in Ukraine is its people and their combined talents as a productive industrial resource.
With the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia lost half of its population. If Putin is to Make Russia Great Again, and keep pace with China as a rising world power, he needs most of those people put back inside Russia’s close economic and political orbit.
If Putin takes all of Ukraine, he gets 44 million people back, not just 7 million — assuming he can maintain firm control over all those people. Not an easy task, certainly, but he may just take a stab at it and see what happens.
Crimea is NOT a “border area”….it was a RUSSIAN possession for centuries prior to a drunken Kruschev “annexing” it to the Ukraine within one of his famous bouts
No idea if it’s true or not, but there are reports that the US State Department established biolabs (think Wuhan) in Ukraine, and that’s what Putin bombed. Does anyone have any info on that?
Yes…US bio weapons labs in Ukraine and Central Asia as a motivating factor in Putins moves
Where the explosions are taking place in Ukraine are exactly where the bio labs are located
thats what I’m reading…
I would think Putin is a pretty smart guy…what kind of sense does it make to “bomb” a bioweapons lab?….wouldn’t that defeat the purpose….at best you might bomb the peripheries or support infrastructures….it is BEYOND dumb to bomb the labs themselves unless you are using large scale thermite weapons
In this video around the 1:45 mark Russell mentions a chemical weapons plant. His entire update from Donbass is about 5 minutes long.
So how does Klaus Schwab and the WEF fit in to this picture?
Putin is one of the WEF’s Young Global Leaders, according to Klaus.
Is this action part of the Great Reset?
hmmmm….that’s interesting if true. But whose to say that Putin intends to give up his power now that he’s got it.
Highly likely. This will start the cyber war that the WEF has planned and will cause a cyber event that will ruin the economies of the West. They are hoping this event makes us all beg for GR/BBB.
Calling BS on that story about Schwab & the WEF.
Putin is NOT young . . . and NOT a globalist.
He’s a Russian nationalist.
Agree!
Was Schwab lying when he included his name in 2017 when he was speaking at Harvard?
I also find it hard to believe Putin is a globalist.
https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/russia-programs/2020-11-02/putin-clinton-transitions
On the most important issue of the time-the upcoming election, the exchange is brief, and Yeltsin is very clear. At the very end of the conversation, Clinton asks, “Who will win the election?” The Russian president responds, “Putin, of course. He will be the successor to Boris Yeltsin. He’s a democrat, and he knows the West.” He praises Putin as tough and having “an internal ramrod.” Yeltsin adds, “I will do everything possible for him to win – legally, of course. And he will win.” The only reaction from the U.S. president is “He’s very smart.” The cover memo on this document, classified Secret, recommends “[t]hat the attached Memorandum of Conversation be filed for the record but not distributed.”
Thank you
The deeper you dig, the murkier it gets.
They have known each other since 1992.
I have been to Davos many times, attending the events organised by Mr Schwab, even back in the 1990s. Klaus [Schwab] just recalled that we met in 1992. Indeed, during my time in St Petersburg, I visited this important forum many times.
https://www.eurasiareview.com/27012021-vladimir-putin-at-davos-online-forum-transcript/
The Schwab leadership school was established in 1974, I believe.
Putin is no friend of the WEF. There are several videos of him expressing his disdain for globalists.
I think that’s part of the reason Putin didn’t try anything while Trump was president. Both are nationalists, and Trump treated Putin as a competitor, not an adversary.
Trump was like that with a lot of these nations that have been treated like 2nd class citizens by the EU.
This makes more sense.
But was Klaus lying when he named Putin as one in 2017 when he spoke at Harvard?
The link to a clip is a few comments above.
Putin may have attended some WEF presentation. He didn’t sign on.
Highly unlikely Putin answers to Schwab. If Putin is a member of any group it’s for his own best interest. Think of him as the camel with the nose, and whole body under the tent, taking copious notes of all he observes.
Putin found out all he had to know about the globalists. He’s not one of tjhem.
Lin Wood on Telegram:
Putin made his position clear in 2015.
On the issue of one world government, Putin agrees with President Trump.
“Russian president says his country will never accept a world order which is headed by one single government.
Vladimir Putin on Saturday said Moscow will oppose a unipolar world order where an undisputed leader imposes his own will on the world.”

Chalk up yet another foreign policy disaster for the Biden Regime. The public is rightly going to interpret this as a Biden failure because he’s been advertising it for 2 months and was 100% ineffective in stopping it. Sundance is exactly right that Trump staying out of Ukrainian affairs – and clearly trying to get Joe Biden and Family to stop meddling in Ukrainian affairs – kept Ukraine safe for 4 year. To that, add that the Biden Regime is utterly anti-energy. A strong US energy base weakens Russia, Iran, and China. Rising energy prices – thanks largely to the Biden Regime – are funding Russia’s efforts in Ukraine.
For the Left, they will be left sputtering because at the end of the day there is nothing they can do. Russia doesn’t care about sanctions. Stopping Nordstream – which carries exactly 0% of European natural gas – affects nothing. They still supply Europe with 40% of its energy. Military action is off the table as only about 10% of the American public (probably even lower) wants war with Russia. The Left is also going to lose their money laundering operations.
I’m sad for the people of Ukraine who did not ask for this, but this is exactly what you get when you ally yourself with the corrupt players in the American Uniparty. Just ask the Afghans…
He!! Just ask Americans who watched January 6 go down, and peaceful protesters killed, incarcerated and tortured.
I am sad for all of us, everywhere, under the rule of deranged weirdos
point of order: president TRUMP was very focused on delimiting russia and the UKR threat.
that’s a FACT.
yes, his political rhetotic in the sense of the media pushback may have appeared to suggest otherwise, but let there be zero doubts: president trump was very well aware of the global reset aspect of russia financed by china to over run Ukraine and become the supreme natgas energy super power.
We all sort of got lost about this aspect of his leadership as the impeachment, drama, politics and back stabbing took all the attention away from global foreign national security and foreign policy issues.
Sundance, I was impressed with your initial assessment but even more impressed you admit is was wrong.
Its ok with me since 99% of your predictions have been correct!
Keep up the awesome work,
Brian
I agree..
The MOST VALUED FACTOR of a legitimate investigate journalist is to address and commit to the record an error!
I wish people here at CTH would understand my white hot anger IS NOT AT SUNDANCE..>He IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RUSSIA AGGRESSION FUELED BY A CCP AGENDA> But it is remarkable and certainly a distinction that matters a great deal that he owns the mistake of a former opinion and position about it.
The great reset/pandemic has caused many of us to “isolate” and stop looking broadly.
If I have learned anything at all from history is that those are the moments when attentions are less tuned to what is about to happen around the corner. Not being antagnostic okay. it’s just a reality. We see what we are looking at/for.
We cannot expect any one investigative journalist to cover all of it.
it’s a privilege to see the correction and its’ honorable.
SD, I wouldnt say you were ‘wrong’–you indicated that Putin (and Biden et al) wanted Zelensky out, and that still seems to be the objective–it’s just that putin realizes that zelensky wont go so easily–he will need to decapitate the regime through capital city conquest etc
as well, let’s remember that all this was in some way a result of Ukraine Impeachment of President Trump. Anyone connected to that sham, from Fiona Hill, Vindman, Eric C, through to Schiff, Swalwell, Eisen et al need to be denounced, lose their positions, and hopefully come to some justice. someday.
today’s presser where Biden basically gave a month long opening to Putin to do as he wishes will go down as Chamberlain in Munich—if Chamberlain also had a bagman cokehead son scamming in the sudetenland for his daddy–this was a sell-out a billion times worse than Munich–the billion being the extortion amount Biden waived
Agree for the most part. This conflict so far is not physically as big and damaging as the media are portraying it, of course. It seems I think Putin has stuck his fist into the Ukraine to wag it at Zelensky and the EU to say he will not be playing a part in the great reset, he has his own plans for his mother Russia and he will not allow Ukraine to be a doormat to the WEF’s dominance as a springboard to control near his border. Now, Ukraine either plays by his rules, or they can join the mothership once again.
Okay, what impact would come from kicking Russia out of the SWIFT system?
Russia has hydrocarbons. China has stockpiles of almost every other physical commodity. Neither country needs access to the SWIFT system for survival if they go onto a war footing. They can barter directly and not have to pay to convert into and out of US dollars.
As part of an agreement, Russia might prioritize their hydrocarbon for everything else barter with China and leave Germany shivering in the dark.
Our people in government are not very good thinkers. IMO
Or is that part of the plan?
I now look at everything from a depopulation lens.
“Our people in governments” are woke drunkards, cokeheads and arrogant elitists who would sell their own children as well as ours
Let’s see clearly, finally
please allow me to explain a reality most people still do not understand:
eurodollars is how russia gets paid for natgas and has been the case for 9 years…in a way, you can thank saudi arabia for that chess move.
as far as swift in concerned, it matter zero squat.
china has managed a financing system that has replaced it and the ENTIRE EUROPEAN ENERGY MARKET UTILIZES IT AND NOTHING ELSE.
the more you KNOW
They are called Petro dollars which are based on the US dollar.
In my opinion the people involved with the theft of the Presidential, Senate, Congressional and other down ballot elections need to be put on trial for sedition, treason and crimes against humanity. Because of them our economy is heading to ruin, our Military is a woke mess, WW3 could happen at any time. Bungles Biden walked behind the gym expecting corn pop only to find Putin and Xi.
Stolen elections have deadly consequences.
Anyone who can derail and destroy the WEF agenda is doing something positive. Europe and the English speaking countries have been the most brainwashed, pacified and corrupted by the dystopian architects of this hideous agenda.
Putin has his own interests and agenda. Which may not be very comforting in the immediate present. But the leftist worldview needs an existential reality check. A severe shock to the progress of their happy agenda.
Don’t forget about the convoys, mandates and fraud in the medical/pharma/political spheres.
Even if half the world is burning these tyrants will still be enforcing their restrictions with even more hysteria. The globalist have been winning unchecked since Covid and won’t stop. No matter what else is going on.
Putin would be a real hero if he turned his focus on Davos and all of it’s extensions. Better a reconfigured future based on traditional values than the nightmare digital slavery currently unfolding.
…..as I watched, as I experienced in my many years, I agreed with you on on point. I did expect Putine to take all of Ukrarine. He wants the USSR back. Respect.
Don’t believe anything the Russians or mass media say. It’s all Russian disinformation which the mass media doesn’t bother to identify. The only thing which can be trusted, provided they can be identified (very big if), are US and British blogs which use commercial satellite cameras to identify columns of vehicles. And there will be columns of vehicles because this is the spring thaw mud season in the Ukraine. Trucks can’t move off-road at this time.
Those columns of vehicles will depict the forward edge of the Russian resupply zone. Within a day or so every Russian vehicle five or so kilometers forward of those columns will be out of fuel.
IMO it will take the mass media at least a week, and probably several weeks, to realize this. Until then rely on those blogs to determine what is going on.
I read that the places that were bombed were bio labs built and financed by the US
Could be disinformation.
Is VP working for himself, the WEF, or both?
He works for what’s best in the long term for his nations security, while simultaneously acting in his own best interest financially.
Ukraine will be a treasure trove of past and ongoing US corruption that Russia will then then use to blackmail our corrupt installed Dominion leeches and boot licking beauarats…. We treepers never get a break. One upside, no more 10 percent for the Bidens. Hmmmm mebbe the Biden family will get the tables turned s as nd squeezed hard. I’ve worked with Russians, they are brutally efficient.
When the Hunter laptops were found and ignored, I was curious if it was an actual strategy to see what American public would put up with from our arrogant corrupt overlords.
Hunter Biden’s corrupt activities were revealed for all the world to see, and neither media nor Democrats nor RINOs cared.
Let’s finally get honest about what has been happening in the Biden Family foreign playgrounds. It goes against everything average Americans look up to. And yet we have these $hitheads in positions of authority, with consent from even more lower level conformist $hitheads promoted to positions of authority because they purchased college degrees somehow.
We are f-*kd and it did not happen overnight. Look to God for help because there is none in our government of greedy misfits.
You can tell that Putin has had enough. And especially with the USA…by the very clear, unambiguous words Putin used in his speech (see link below.)
Very good read, BTW. Reading Putin’s words and motivating factors for this aggression will help one prepare for the MSM (Deep State) “spin,” i.e. lies.
http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/67843
The reference to the Bushie years was especially interesting…
“…But the example that stands apart from the above events is, of course, the invasion of Iraq without any legal grounds. They used the pretext of allegedly reliable information available in the United States about the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. To prove that allegation, the US Secretary of State held up a vial with white power, publicly, for the whole world to see, assuring the international community that it was a chemical warfare agent created in Iraq. It later turned out that all of that was a fake and a sham, and that Iraq did not have any chemical weapons. Incredible and shocking but true. We witnessed lies made at the highest state level and voiced from the high UN rostrum. As a result we see a tremendous loss in human life, damage, destruction, and a colossal upsurge of terrorism.”
I get the sense that some people here would like to see Russia attack the U.S. military.
Really?
What gave you that sense?
ReglarMerican said: “Ukraine has very rich: uranium ore deposits;titanium ore;manganese ore; mercury ore; iron ore; coal mines; shale natural gas; fertile black farmland; rare earth mineral deposits; etc. ……. Now that Putin has cut out the crooked puppet Ukrainian “leadership” (State Dept./CIA puppets) and run off the Biden, Clinton crime families, and tossed out our crooked agencies, he could either set up Russian companies to develop those resources (and skim himself 10%) or mine the raw materials and ship to his CCP buddies over the Belt-and-Road system.”
Putin is now doing something I hadn’t thought he would do, and that is to take the whole country in one massive invasion, rather than to bite off a piece at a time, digest it, and then move on to the next piece from there.
Vladimir Putin is one smart cookie. He wouldn’t have made this bold move if he hadn’t carefully weighed the benefits versus the costs. He has clearly concluded that the benefits from his Ukraine adventure will, over time, greatly exceed the costs.
The benefits include the recovery of former Russian territory, access to Ukraine’s considerable natural resources, the recovery of former Russian citizens and their productive talents; and last but not least, demonstrating to the world that Russia is clearly on the ascendancy while America and the West are clearly on the decline by every measure of political, economic, and military power.
Ukraine’s natural resources and its territory are one thing. But what Putin needs most in Ukraine is its people and their combined talents as a productive industrial resource. With the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia lost half of its population. If Putin is to Make Russia Great Again, and keep pace with China as a rising world power, he needs most of those people put back inside Russia’s close economic and political orbit.
At this point, I don’t think Putin will go for the Baltic states. As a practical matter, he doesn’t need those states nearly as much as he needs Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. Once his hold on Ukraine is solidified, I think the reincorporation of Belarus and Kazakhstan will be next on Putin’s agenda.
Belarus IS and has been strongly in his satellite for over 10 years….notice one of the advancing columns originated in BELARUS
That’s true. But the invasion of Ukraine leads me to believe that Belarus, Ukraine — and at some point Kazakhstan — will eventually be directly reincorporated back into the Russian state.
An act of war by Belarus.
Great Summary Sundance.
I have to also admit I was wrong as well surprised Putin went for whole of the Ukraine.
I expected a limited objective series of attacks to secure the “break away” areas but the whole region..color me surprised.
Then again, the US likely made promises about security based on sanctions and maybe NATO action. Also, NATO, at the behest of the US refused to answer or negotiate anything regarding security from Western Expansion, mirroring the US Position. So, the President of the Ukraine threw the dice by not negotiating either and may loose it all.
What is not clear is how much resistance can be expected from the Ukrainian Army, which is why Putin likely feels confident to move forward to clear the Ukraine as much as possible. It is not like Russia pulled off any surprises and did not telegraph the attack.
It is clear NATO has no interest nor is prepared to respond at this point.
Sadly President Trump was right again about NATO and NATO’s lack of capability. It’s one thing for EU-NATO hit a fractured Libya after Libyan rebels have weakened an already weak “bad guy” but another to confront a determined better prepared and lead “bad guy”. Plus, Russia earned their Fuel monopoly with the EU and the US under JoeBama was messing with the delivery systems, which had been completed as CONTRACTED WITH THE EU and JoeBama had agreed was OK to have.
I wouldn’t want to spill one drop of blood for biden and his deep state crooks. Not one. Republicans had better get on the right side here.
Eight paragraphs down + 1 sentence, you say, Sundance, “While there is no justification……..continuing through …Taking all of Ukraine away from U.S. control puts a stop to our using the Russian border state for our own interests.”
Putin would have to choose right now if he wants Mr. Zelensky as his neighbor and by default, Biden; as well as the next unknown president of the US. Now is the time for that decision. Not after 2024 or next week.
Zelensky was put there by President Obama and his Vice President -front man – Joe Biden, who together, in 2014, successfully performed a coup in front of the world literally threatening and then chasing out the legal Ukrainian President, now in exile, and installing Zelensky.
8 years later in 2022 had Zelensky cooperated with Putin during the past few months or even the past 3 weeks of warnings he would have sent the signal Putin would be looking for. But he didn’t because he can’t. Because Obama – Biden are not only suppling USA weapons today to Zelensky but are running the Ukraine and NATO from Washington DC.
If I knew that, Putin knew that.
Move forward to Putin’s statements for the past 3 weeks; testing Zelensky. He simply got his answer that Zelensky is sold out to the US; he will never be a peaceful neighbor because his government is in the US who has accused Putin of the very things the US has continued doing.
I expect Putin will have to take out Zelensky to rid Russia of his duplicity and from hiding behind Biden’s skirts. Russia is signaling Zelensky is now determined to be an enemy of Russia and they can no longer be trusted neighbors. Who would you install as President of Ukraine if you were Putin? Putin of course.
I expect this will take less then 2 weeks. Or why start the war in the capitol? Soon Ukrainians who embrace Russia will locate Zelensky to save their own families and cities. I also expect a bombing not a long political trial. Then the Obama – Biden paranoia escalates and…….non – options are suddenly on the table. Like NATO. Like nuclear.
How else can Russia trust both pro-Russia Ukrainians and pro-Zelensky – Obama – Biden – Neo-Nazi’s ? I’d also expect we’ll hear a NATO justification of escalation under a label of “genocide”. The issue will be political sides obfuscated by the personalized term genocide that strikes fear because one can’t change their genes.
–“Zelensky was put there by President Obama and his Vice President -front man – Joe Biden, who together, in 2014, successfully performed a coup in front of the world literally threatening and then chasing out the legal Ukrainian President, now in exile, and installing Zelensky.”–
Again, you have your facts wrong on who was “put there” in 2014.
they removed Yanukovych, who was pro-Russian and installed Poroshenko in 2014…Zelensky has only been around for a couple of years and was probably elected via Dominion systems
when you watch the ‘refugees’ flee Ukraine. look at them and see if you spot horriffic fear or sweet baby smiles on the young men.
Threat of WW3: Brought to you by a Stolen US Election & a Fraud in the White House
February 24, 2022:
/v1/fill/w_925,h_1123,al_c,q_90/09c28d_b3a9690c9bac4960a9f42ed9a35ce77c~mv2.webp
The toxic elixir that brought on the threat of World War III included these ingredients: a stolen US federal election, an illegitimate and incompetent fraud in the White House, a feckless and woke-obsessed DNC administration, an outrageously corrupt mainstream media, a diluted and demoralized military, and a collection of global tyrants locked in on capitalizing on the first sign of weakness in America’s leadership team.
Much of the world (the DNC, RINO’s, mainstream media, technocrats, academia, popular culture) attacked President Trump on a daily basis for four years. Throughout those four years of the Trump term, the geo-political arena was perfectly stable and without any threat of major conflict. All this stability under President Trump along with unparalleled economic prosperity despite a perpetual stream of baseless attacks against Donald Trump.
Joe Biden, in the course of the last fourteen months has fumbled through endless policy failures causing perpetual economic decline/instability, skyrocketing domestic rates of crime, a disastrous Afghanistan exit, and a predictable window of opportunity for communist regimes like Russia and China to pursue military “opportunities” on a world stage that is lacking a legitimate and strong American President. Today’s crisis is brought to the world by a fraud in the White House and all who participated in the theft of the 2020 US election.
Biden Announces New Sanctions in Response to Russian Attack on Ukraine
By: Nick Ciolino
Joe Biden announced additional sanctions and export restrictions against Russia Thursday in response to a Russian attack against Ukraine launched in the early hours that morning.
In a televised address on Feb. 24, Biden vowed to impose new sanctions against four additional Russian banks as well as additional members of Moscow’s elite inner circle and cut off “half” of Russia’s high-tech imports.
“America stands up to bullies. We stand up for freedom,” said Biden. “This is who we are.”
Biden’s speech came after a meeting with the National Security Council and a virtual summit with G7 leaders. And he said the sanctions are in coordination with a list of countries representing more than half of the world’s economy.
Biden pledged humanitarian support to the people of Ukraine and reiterated the U.S. commitment to defend NATO territory. He also said again that the United States will not send troops to fight in Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a “special military operation” on Feb. 24 to defend Moscow against what he alleged were threats from Ukraine. Shortly after Putin’s announcement, Russia launched its attack by land, air, and sea.
This came after months of Russian troop buildup along Ukraine’s border.
Ukraine’s leadership said at least 40 people had been killed so far in what it called a “full-scale war,” with multiple cities and bases targeted with airstrikes or shelling from the east, north, and south.
And an adviser to the Ukrainian presidential office, Mykhailo Podolyak, said Thursday the Chernobyl nuclear power plant has been captured by Russian forces.
In response, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky cut diplomatic ties with Moscow and declared martial law.
Biden’s latest action comes in addition to the United States’ first tranche of sanctions against Russia taken earlier in the week. These include sanctions against two regions within Ukraine declared independent by Russia, state-owned Russian banks, individual Russian oligarchs and their families, as well as sanctions against the company behind the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline connecting Russia to Germany.
The first tranche was announced in response to Putin’s move Feb. 21 to declare two regions within Ukraine to be independent and then sign a decree authorizing “peacekeeping” troops to move into the two breakaway regions
Biden has acknowledged that Americans will likely see increased costs at the gas pump as a result of the sanctions against Russia but has pledged that his administration is using “every tool at our disposal” to limit the effect on gas prices.

I guess Lt Colonel Fatass is on maneuvers with Meal Team Six, otherwise he’d come to his homeland’s rescue.
Send him home to Ukraine. Let Putin decide his fate.
Grandpa Badfinger and those who pull his strings are the ones who are directly responsible for every drop of blood spilled in this invasion.
This administration has done nothing but poke the bear since the inauguration. IMO, Putin is well within his rights to do what he has done. He is protecting his homeland and his countrymen.
Make no mistake, this is EXACTLY what this administration wanted to happen. The adage of “be careful what you wish for,” comes to mind. Putin is not the kind of adversary one should take lightly. Wouldn’t it be grand if Putin has hacked all of the dirt that the nefarious powers that be use to control all of these politicians to do their bidding, and he begins to release it? That scenario just took the #1 spot on my “fantasy” list.
Zelinsky is a disposable stooge and a moron for getting into bed with the left.
Sadly, much more blood will flow across the world before true freedom can be achieved.
Buckle up.
Did you see that Twitter post (guy suspended immediately). The guy had a map of Ukraine with all the areas where Putin was striking with missles/bombs last night. Then, he researched what eas in those areas. In every area there were US run bio labs.
Makes sense. I think I remember something about bio labs in the Ukraine. Putin is no fool.
What is interesting is, thwre are about a dozen US bioweapons labs in the Ukraine. Everywhere bombing is going on. Funded by the pentagon. Several sources.
So, I like everyone else am not sure what all this is really about. But this is curious.

On February 4, 2014, a recording of a phone call between Nuland and U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, on January 28, 2014, was published on YouTube.In their phone conversation, Nuland and Pyatt discussed who should join a unity government. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Nuland
Great share. Thank you. As cynical as I am, it never ceases to shock me the evil and brutality that has been leveled upon humanity by our government.
With all the activity of China against Taiwan, and the recent BFF announcement regarding China and Russia, don’t be shocked if China will take this opportunity to make their move on Taiwan.
I suspect this is part of the pact that Russia and China cooked up. The ME is also probably going to jump on the band wagon with Ukraine being the kicking off point toward a true WW3.
Ukraine is the start. This potential war gives Gates and Soros the population reduction they desire. And the US is not going to fair well thanks to the Woke leaders the left have pushed in place. Along with the destruction of our own energy independence.
I do not know about this “in the same way most of the American people do not see the manipulation in the U.S. 2020 election.”…..”official poll” numbers, which we know are low balled when going against TPTB narrative, puts those who believe there was CHEATING in the 2020 election at 56%…….to qualify for “most” doesn’t it normally require a majority?…..as cheating is “manipulation” at the maximum end of the scale, this would tend to disqualify your statement
That Uniparty RINOs and their Dimm/commie allies do not want to bring the evidence into sunlight is both understandable AND the reason for some of this doubt and public conviction on the matter even before it is given an official judicial review…..The US public knows…..the WORLD public knows….the Globalists KNOW we know and do not care as long as they retain the reins of power
Russia can take Ukraine but can they keep it indefinitely. All evil people die like the rest of us, that includes Putin and Biden. Russia has had problems with holding Ukraine for the last hundred years. It will cost Russia over time. But it is not my concern. My front line is to our southern border. And I don’t want a million Ukrainian refugees here. I already have a city full Afghanistan refugees my little city in Utah.
It was impossible for them to hold 15 Soviet Republics together. They may be the dog that caught the car. Can you imagine if the US attempted to govern Mexico after we won in 1848?
Biden won’t allow a single one of the million Ukrainian refugees to emigrate here because they are White Christians!
Sundance: “…specifically the western Ukraine areas under control of the U.S. State Department.”
Good.
Putin needs to destroy every vestige of ‘deep state’ activity in that country. Putin’s not going after the Ukrainian people or land; could it be he’s excising the WEF fascista and their cabal lackeys (think US fourth-branch operatives) from being in a position to continue to corrupt and undermine the country? These are the same corruptocrats making Ukraine be a vassal state for whomever Biden (the moth-eaten, child-molesting, dementia-riddled, sock puppet h/t: Mark Steyn), and Jill ‘the Handler’ are working for. Think Davos.
Also, think about why documents are currently being frantically destroyed in Kiev. It smells like when China went on an embassy purge after they were kicked out of Houston.

Putin might be doing Ukraine a favor.
And he surely will be helping these poor people caught living in the middle of this mess in the Grey Zone. These people have lived with war for the last 8 years.
As long as I get my 10% we’re good. 😉 😉

It’s rather remarkable the amount of domestic and global damage that the Biden puppet has achieved in just a little over one year.
It is historical, nothing ever like it. A full speed destruction effort like the world has never seen. Can you imagine if we had something like it on our side? Full bore MAGA like this !!!
There will be wars and rumors of wars.
