THIS video from the White House briefing today, you absolutely must watch to gain a fulsome understanding of how the modern political left views the world of geopolitical contests in 2022.
Deputy National Security Advisor and Deputy Director of the National Economic Council, Daleep Singh, was presented at the podium today to explain the strategic policy of the Biden administration toward Russia.
Singh’s remarks outlining the view of the ‘west’ toward defeating Russia are eloquent yet batshit crazy in their ideological context. Daleep Singh sounds like the senior head of a Google Human Resources operation telling the department heads how they need to convey their feelings in order to hire the talent for continued growth in the industry. This is a direct quote:
…”Ultimately, the goal of our sanctions is to make this a strategic failure for Russia; and let’s define a little bit of what that means. Strategic success in the 21st century is not about a physical land grab of territory; that’s what Putin has done. In this century, strategic power is increasingly measured and exercised by economic strength, by technological sophistication and your story – who you are, what your values are; can you attract ideas and talent and goodwill? And on each of those measures, this will be a failure for Russia.”
WATCH (14:31, prompted):
Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh boils down geopolitical power to a cultural issue of social likeability.
Let this sink in.
Realize that what he is saying is the strategy leading our foreign policy.
Even if what he was saying is reasonable, and it’s not, I’m thinking strong Russians with hot chicks, nice cars, fast boats and a culture of polite strength, loyalty and fierce protection are winning the “story” side of the argument.
In essence, he is saying the quiet part out loud…. which explains why Obama, Clinton and now Biden are using social media to advance geopolitical strategies.
Pop icons are used as influencers and ambassadors. Hollywood is the quintessential State Department. What Singh is saying is really the true way the modern political left view politics in general, but they rarely say this stuff so openly.
It’s VIRTUE SIGNALING and MESSAGING as a reality substitute!!!!!!!
What’s interesting is if this truly is the mindset of the left it explains so much of the hate they have for Trump supporters. Remember how many tweets and images were of very attractive women in MAGA hats and people “partying”? It is their definition of winning. Looks like the truckers need to start posting these “winning” images online to really get the message across?
They exist in the illusory universe they accuse others of having. Eventually Reality intrudes. See Kipling’s poem The Gods of the Copybook Headings. It is like a prophecy for these fools.
This is all theater for the ignorant masses in the USA incoherent garbage.
Sundance is one of the top resources I lean on and when Putin attacked the Ukraine I was confused and was until this morning when I discovered we have U.S. bio-defense research labs in the Ukraine.
Yes plural, labs…
Putin is selecting “military” targets… How many were U.S. Bio-Defense labs? If so did Putin access them as a threat to Russia? If so why?
Many layers to this onion of corruption and sons of politicians making millions on Ukraine “Energy Boards”…
Fauci and Collins have been very busy boys, spreading the joy around the world.
This link from India has some information —

Wow … that would explain why there are so many Americans in the Ukraine.
Also … don’t forget Biden using Putin to destroy all criminal evidence linking the Biden, Pelosi & Romney sons to the criminal enterprise & kickbacks from Barisma.

If this is true, I say to Russia “bombs away!”
All of this bio lab crap needs to be destroyed, outlawed and forbidden. Any attempt by anyone to start up these pathogen bio labs should to be executed immediately. The scientist and all of their sponsoring people.
I missed that – do you have the story title or the link? Thanks.
It seems to me that Biden really did bet on Putin not invading Ukraine, so as to claim his “Cuban Missle Crisis” moment. However, Putin called his bluff. He said, they don’t actually expect me to invade, but have given me the green light with no means to stop me, so here goes! What’s truly sad is that there are real lives lost and ruined because these two mad men are playing a game of geopolitical chicken. But Biden goaded Putin into it, and now he’s going to get it good and hard.
Now he has nothing to talk about at the SOTU next week. He had done good/right/favorable in his first year as the Resident.
*has done nothing (I wasn’t able to edit my comment)
Putin won’t be a mad man if he cleans up and stabilizes Ukraine like he did Syria.
He will offer terms for departure.
We should have asked Putin to join NATO to guard against the Chinese and reassure Taiwan. Now Taiwan is in grave danger and the US can’t do nothing about it.
So basically your “clout” as a social media influencer.
This guy lives in some virtual cloud somewhere word smithing from a myriad of alphabets to frame some false narrative while Putin live in reality. Not sure if its western decay or manufactured humans bots.
Geo-Political Risk for $600 Aaron, and the answer is: In the 21st, this country thinks your story is stronger then military forces.
Putin’s social credit score just took a hit. Oh, the humanity!
Install sanctions against the owner and provider of the most important essential of our lives. Energy. Let’s see how long the West can hold on.
and Who owns the other half? This will get nasty. Who will suck up or who will remember? Biden kind of f..d it up now that Putin did what he did. This regime cannot hold on much longer except if they go out full on war. God help all the Westeners. What is interresting is that the common folk has nothing to do with it and most hate their own establishment.
Today the world is stupider then yesterday..
This morning Fox called the Ukrainian war, Biden won.
He looks like a kid wearing daddy’s coat.
The Brandon administration lives in La LA Land.
Where do they get these people? Straight from liberal colleges and universities, frat houses and sorority halls with no idea how the world is run? Obviously, they are not graduates of a classical education. Certainly bereft of morals and values.
We literally have morons running our government at every level.
Yes, Biden is not a leader.
He reacts by building a consensus with others whose interests are not our own or those we promised to defend.
Ukraine did not go ahead with nuke program because US and UK guaranteed their defense against Russia.
Nobody ever going to make that deal again.
Is there a reason we have NATO? Well played, Putin.
I guess we can see NATO had no plan.
The pushback President Trump got when he told the NATO members they should be paying the amounts they agreed to was intense. He was destabilizing them, threatening them and it was a reckless thing to do.
As usual, PDJT was right. He pushed them to be stronger because a weak NATO is of no value. They’re proving that now.
Well done Germany, get yourself dependent on Russian oil. Press our government to exempt sanctions against Russian energy. Well done Biden regime, you’ve made us look as weak as you possibly can.
I’m disgusted by our regime and NATO.
Just hoping that disgust will spread over the entire Population we need 100’s of millions to be utterly disgusted.

Believe Ukraine is the 6th largest producer of Wheat in the world. What is TCH’s opinion of the country’s ability to produce Wheat going forward? Russian has plenty of oil and gas reserves, so it should be able to produce the crops. WOKE BS does not feed people, grain does.
In addition, the Eddy Minimum is just beginning, and may run until 2055. Climate and weather is extremely harsh on food production across the globe. This one factor alone could make Russia’s’ take over of Ukraine extremely valuable.
Yeah, when the zombies looking for food come up our driveway hoping to break in and take over our house, “our story” isn’t going to be what stops them.
666iden’s strategic “power” is reserved for special things, along with fairy dust.
Note to self: Avoid approaching tanks.
Sounds like that obnoxious lesbian feminist host chick from the YouTube video game channel. Completely burns down the brand, alienates half the audience, and craters all the metrics. But she got Twitter clout so she declares herself the winner.
I read his bio. I noticed he isn’t a married man. Is he a friend of Ned price perhaps?
I can’t even stomach watching that crap. Embarrassing. The states need to ignore this illegitimate foreign occupational regime in DC, form economic/defense pacts, and start drilling. Otherwise we will die the death of a thousand cuts. Tactical civics.
this is insulting

Well, we’ve graduated from hashtag diplomacy with 44 to story likes with 46.
The scary thing is they actually believe the crap they drivel out!
If they were high on their own supply they wouldn’t be buying ocean front properties.
No. The baloney is for the knuckleheads who are ravenous to devour the newest lies fresh from the mint.
What a bozo – how can we the people allow these idiots to stay in power? Sundance you are on the mark.
Does anybody here think China won’t buy every barrel of oil Putin wants to sell, or sell Russia any tech materials they want to buy.
Putin:”Sanctions, what stinking sanctions”. I got your sanctions right here
FJB
So this administration has just ceded all of the former USSR territory back to Russia and Putin. I mean, as long as our story is good, who gives a hoot about their land grab.
So, who decides if your pathetic story is good or not? The US press? God Save Us All!
What a likeable effin failure.
I not only don’t like these bastards, I despise them and wish the earth would open up and swallow these sons of bit<hes into the bowels of Hell.

Anyone else remember the junior senator who helped disarm Ukraine?
-“who you are, what your values are; can you attract ideas and talent and
goodwill?”
This might explain why Hillary Clinton didn’t get elected President.
I’m not sure why she got selected as the Democrat candidate, though.
Hilarious!
Ludicrously played!
This is reminiscent of Robert McNamara and the bomber command of WWII. In both cases the plausible but incorrect theory was that if one can merely change the emotional space of the “enemy” they can manipulate them into doing what one wants. this is certainly the endless method the elites use to bamboozle our entire society into folly. It is supposed to be insightful but really is just immoral and psychopathic. Moreover, it is transparent to anyone with any judgment who resents the insult and uses this flawed orientation to manipulate the manipulator. Mature people do not employ these tactics but maturity and good judgment are a rare attribute of human interaction regrettably. Likewise respect for others. The history fo these techniques augurs failure, and sometimes quite horrific failure. So much for the idiotic insult that the “adults” are in charge now. If upon their death they gain finally self awareness, how appalled they will be. As we are appalled, repeatedly, by their destructive and deplorable antics.
Trump understood US interests are not the same as other countries.
The Big Guy and his family understand plausible deniability financial enrichment is far easier in foreign matters than domestic.
And pose…
Everything they do is theater. What a laughing joke they are.
LGB! Goodbye! Even the cabal bankers want him out, plus the awakening of the public re: the deadly vaccine. Vax stocks dropping like a rock. Hello Trump!
