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.
Remember —– WE ARE PAYING THEM !!!!!!!!!!!
More than I make.
Time for the US to invade a corrupt, evil country run by a lunatic and free their people from his evil ways.
I say invade and attack Canada NOW!!!
No need. All we have to do is close the bridges to the US. The Canadians will do the rest. No foot will need to land on Canadian soil.
It is time for the US to look at who is running OUR Country today. We seem to be a foolish bunch run by a lunatic.
They need to have to sit down and memorize Rush’s 35 Undeniable Truths of Life…the original 35…
…heck, for that matter, they need to learn the revised ones too.
#24, a true classic.
First off, it would make everyone more comfortable if Putin would announce his pronouns.
And put a shirt on.
man are we screwed
We’re not screwed.
Maybe you are.
So Biden’s National Security Advisor Singh is saying, according to the Biden Aministration Stategy China is kicking our ass. Is Singh and Biden surrendering the USA to China already?
The US has already been surrendered to China and the funds were deposited in hunters account
The battlefield is no longer physical, but psychological. It’s about mass psychosis formation. This is what they did, and continue to do for COVID. This is what they’ve been doing in our universities, our schools, and all across our country enabled by the media. It’s how they’ve reshaped our culture to gain mind control over the people.
The fundamental problem with this is that it is premised on freedom of choice.
Let that sink in an marinate. The administration that has levied vaccine mandates, denied religous exemptions, discharged service men and women, and has usurped powers never granted expects people to be able to choose.
and just like that ….Taiwan’s chances for independence from the CCP (inventors of the social credit system) just went down to 0%
Let’s Toss all these bums out of North America and create a New Republic as 1 giant Free America.
That would require the Canadians going full blown civil war and cleaning out their infestation.
The US doing the same.
Mexico being completely annexed by the US after the above step and all the criminals captured and killed.
Then working our way down and cleaning out central and south America as we did Mexico.
It would require a lot of sacrifice and doing things we would hate ourselves for later.
Not holding my breath.
For the better of my 64 years on this planet, I said the only persons to ever be allowed to run for President or Congress should be business class or working class people. Folks who understand what it means to have to make real life decisions that affect them, their families, friends and employees. Who place principles above profit.
Sadly, our government was corrupted the minute Lincoln let the democrats remain in power to “heal the nation”. They started undermining the Constitution from that moment forward.
Please allow me to translate what Mr. Singh just said:
“Taiwan is yours for the taking. Go for it!”
I’ve been waiting to hear that was underway all day today – I thought for sure it would be a coordinated effort between the Russians and the Chinese. Maybe we’ll have the Ukraine drama/not drama for 96 hours and then we’ll have the Taiwan drama to follow. It’s pretty clear that DC just handed Ukraine to the Russians for the price of ‘sanctions’ that ‘won’t do anything’. Pretty pathetic, really. Whatever will the uniparty do now without their Ukraine slush fund/money laudromat to give aid to and funnel it back to the party favorites – looking at you Hunter.
Well, there’s always Haiti. The Clinton can give tutorials– for a fee, of course.
China will bide their time. Wait for the Ukraine situation to be resolved and then do their thing.
It’s how they have rolled for centuries. No reason to stir the pot until their ready to.
Bad Dog…: I agree with you. China moves in long marches, not short sprints. Also, China is not ready, militarily, to make any bold moves. They may have the numbers, but still lack the multi-d0main operational experience. By the time China is “ready,” they might not even need to apply military force to bring Taiwan “back into the fold.” The weight of Chinese influence may be all that’s needed.
That said, China will be taking copious notes on the Western world’s flacid response (if you can even call it a response) to Putin’s Ukraine power move.
Disagree. Timing. Now, a certainty, vs future unknown international power restructuring. A lack of American leadership, military readiness and political-will all contribute to CCP tactical advantage.
While the WH Americans are changing their Depends, CCP can flush Taiwan as it currently exists.
and would they really want to destroy the infrastructure? they really want to OWN it.
Thanks to the actions of the government I no longer support cops and the military. The first is understandable since they’ve always been shady. The second group hurts because it was my fifth great uncle George Washington that helped create the Army, Navy, and Marines as the Continental Commander of all colonial troops. My family has serve this nation honorably since the 1600s and now these organizations have truly lived up to the fear of a standing military.
So if Biden sends in troops. I don’t care. The military made it abundantly clear that I am the enemy because I am a conservative. I will never entreat a traitor nor give it the common courtesy. I suggest you do the same.
Putin made it clear what would happen if the US or NATO tried to interfere.
Hence the milk sop, word salad presser.
As I said earlier, all of the DC scum are soiling themselves right now.
Their blustering and saber rattling wasn’t supposed to turn into a real
world event. Putin was supposed to be convinced that they meant
business if he crossed the line. He called their bluff and they folded
That’s the difference between a real poker player and a chump.
Putin is fighting a war and we are trying to win a popularity contest.
Right? I didn’t know Joe was running for prom queen…
FJB, the ice-cream queen!
THEY are trying to win a popularity contest. Not me. I don’t count myself as one of those filthy parasitic bastards.
thepopularity contest is over and Biden lost (Idont say WE because I separate me from the government)
Biden got Pants-ed and stuffed in a locker.
In other words, to quote CK’s philosophical guru and life coach, “There’s a War on For Your Mind!”
“Mirror, Mirror on the wall”…
What a bunch of moronic boobs …
Putin gets Ukraine to surrender to his terms … no NATO and an installed regime that is pro-Russian. Something akin to Belarus. Reading Putin’s earlier statement, it’s a rollcall of Western, especially U.S., interference in the affairs of other countries (hey, Neocons, y’all listening?) from the scrambling of the Balkans to Libya and the Middle East, culminating in the attacks on Syria and the pressure Russia’s feeling from all the double-dealings.
In a few months the new stable outlook will be a Ukraine looking to Mother Russia for its protection; everything else will be the same … except the Ukraine piggy bank won’t be open for business for the crooked US politicians to line their pockets.
And the moronic boobs will be left adrift …
If we don’t see American troops dead or maimed for life, not spend one red cent and the corruption is stopped I don’t care.
Ukraine was a corrupt playground for the DC Uniparty deviant scum. It’s not our problem. Never was.
Look to our southern border and ask yourself, what would you expect of your government if it was being invaded by criminals and terrorists? Don’t like Putin, but at least he’s taking care of his countries interests.
And Ma’ Russia will have all the billions of $$$ of US weaponry meant for the defense of Ukraine.
General LGBT Miley must have sent the plans to his counterpart in Russia because Putin is constantly 10 steps ahead of FJB.
Nah. International statecraft has traditionally been a dick swinging contest, but everyone on the Obiden team is transitioning, so storytime is all they’ve got.
Jase: Good one.
A door knob is ten steps ahead of FJB.
Daleep Singh went on to say “we will not, and I repeat NOT, extend any Participation Trophy to Vladimir Putin…”
Holy Jesus these clowns will get a lot of people killed.
#Putin_Is_a_meanie
A top graduate of a common core woke education no doubt. What a waste of a pretty face 😱
I don’t believe his story.
🤦🏼♂️ Give this guy a participation trophy and wake me up from this nightmare.
“So that’s why we declared war on fossil fuels, so as to maximize Russia’s wealth from energy….we are making Russia a formidable economic power….oh no, wait a minute, we need to rework this talking point… Strike that!”
Heard Newt explain it once
These are people that are good at picking the right answer on multiple choice tests
After reading Putin’s speech and listening to Biden’s lies. I find myself more agreeable with Russia’s stance on the matter.
Sadly, I must confess I saw that debacle. It was at once hilarious and tragic beyond belief. I thought perhaps there might be 1 or 2 of these little babies in the administration, or left over from Obama and reinserted as caregivers to Pudd’nhead, that might understand the gravity of what is being presented to them.
No dice. We have a circumstance where the bulk of the staff is operationally incompetent, yet will be able to enjoy a win-win because of the opportunity presented to them at more destruction of the republic.
.
We have been deliberately poking Putin for months. (I am not sure why.) The solution is easy. Stop threatening Russia. Get off Russia’s border. Declare Ukraine out of NATO (and Americans should get out of Ukraine too, and possibly NATO.) Ramp back up all of Trump’s policies, including without limitation, oil and gas.
Months???
YEARS more likely
Years?
Two decades.
The only American President to not treat Putin with contempt, to actually show him the respect of a worthy adversary, is President Trump.
Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden (and Hillary as SoS), all treated him with contempt and rebuffed all his attempts at rapprochement.
The Ukrainians are reaping what the Democrats have sown.
Give NATO a five year time frame to get their shit together, and at the end of that we are out.
We talk about how the U.S. defends the borders of other countries but not the borders of the United States. The truth is that we don’t defend any borders anywhere. It’s all empty rhetoric.
Was ZeroHedge targeted by the administration as part of the sanctions?
“ your story – who you are, what your values are”
They’ve fed each other so much nonsense they’ve lost all touch with reality.
Yes how profound……………………………………………LOLOLOLOL
Where do “They” find these people??
What utter sh*t
No wonder the US is a blooming joke
I honestly dont blame Putin
If you read this long speech of his from Feb 21, he explains exactly how and why and how many times the US has screwed Russia and interfered in Ukraine
Its an eye opening read
I never knew the extent of US lies (Democrats) and treachery
https://www.veteranstoday.com/2022/02/22/vladimir-putin-full-text-of-february-21-2022-speech/
WOW>. Thanks for posting.
I still say PDJT had an agreement with Putin to hold back while he tried to get Ukraine to clean up their act.
We all know how that ended.
This is all on the EU and our corrupt government and grifter political class.
I read it and it seemed as though something Trump would do for the American people.
Maybe Michelle can hold up a cardboard with #Putinisameanie on it for the TV
#bring back our money launderers
IMHO, the Globalist/NWO manufactured war side was planning to do the Libya Model on Zelensky –
Muammar Ghaddafi was basically executed, just as our people at Benghazi were –
Muammar Ghaddafi had turned away from terror and allied himself with the USA, when George W. Bush was President, as the War on Terror started –
why didn’t George W. Bush ever have anything to say about that? It was on HIS watch that Ghaddafi became our ally – what a horrific example to all that America would not only “let this happen” but that our own Secretary of State was so cavalier about it –
I hope they – Putin’s people – are cleaning up and out the Globalist swamp in Ukraine!
The fall of Libya was the warning to all of our allies and those we had a pact with that our corrupt government would
throw them to wolves if push came to shove.

Their views are so far out in left field, it is obvious they don’t have any idea of the real world. Conquering territory IS a strategic success. Strategic power comes through military capability and strength which gets supplied by a country’s economic wealth and resources.
About 65% of Ukraine’s land is agricultural. It was considered the bread basket of the former Soviet Union. Ukraine has many strategic resources for energy production and rich and varied mineral wealth. If Russia can take and hold Ukraine, Russia becomes much richer.
This man is an idiot like so many in the Biden administration.
Sad thing is the Russians beat the US even using the score card outlined by the assistant buffoon of state.
Our only hope is for a handful of Rhino’s in the three States of AZ, GA and Wi or even Mi is to recall the their Electors and brake the glass and bring back some common sense!!
in order to break the glass, we have to burn down the government. OK by me.
“We get this, from the people that can’t even change a tire, as they have to call roadside assistance !!”
LOL
Whoever wrote this gibberish has got to be sitting around a fire, sipping a lovely single malt laughing their butt off at someone stupid enough to actually say this out loud.
The alternative is too scary to bear thinking of…
In this century, strategic power is increasingly measured and exercised by economic strength, by technological sophistication and your story – who you are,…………….
So I go to Burger King for lunch and they give me one of those paper crowns that they give to children. Strategic power baby! That’s who I am, King of the World with my little paper crown. That’s “my story!” and I’m stickin’ with it………
Unless your “story” includes a bullet proof shield and an AR15 to defend yourself, it’s worthless in a war. Our feckless leadership is bringing social credit scores to a war and actually thinking that they can redefine victory as who has the highest score. Winning land? Apparently that’s sooo 1990’s. I wonder how they’d feel if that was THEIR land.
“Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh boils down geopolitical power to a cultural issue of social likeability” – I just bet China (Xi) is having sleeping issues worrying about what other countries are going to be likable towards China. As a matter of fact, Xi is probably come up with some China money giveaways to US Congressmen, NATO partners to assure he liked.
Sounds like a clone of Trudeau.
The WEF worldview has brainwashed the entire ruling class of the western world. Not an accident either.
China, Russia, the Islamic world must be convulsed in laughter.
Gas is 4.15 and going up here
Papertowels 6 for 6.99
TP 24 rolls for 17.00
No wet cat food
Got the dry, which was 16$ for 12 LBs.
didnt buy any meat, I’m making my own bread
Nat gas is up 20$ yoy (just paid my 142$ bill)
On and on
But it’s a small price to pay for freedom and the American way
Yay Joe!
Congratulations on your cheap gas. Ours went up in the last week from $3.29 to $3.59. Who knows how high it will go with this Ukrainian mess?
Russia makes the left seethe. I’m taking that under advisement.
Soviet Russia failed the Left.
That’s why they hate it.
Given this nonsense from its security partner, I expect Taiwan to enter into talks with Beijing tomorrow.
Man, we are in trouble with people like this in charge.
WTFever.
What planet are these beta’s from? “My story will so overcome your brute force”. The statement oozes lisp.
I don’t remember bringing any of this garbage into my thinking when playing Risk. This guy is a real loser.
Just remember, in Risk, “The Ukraine is weak!”
They are acting like Putin did not anticipate further sanctions prior to invading.
Of course he did and it did not bother him.
