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 is not difficult to predict that even “War In Europe in the 21st Century” will not be as terrible for America as the current administration and an entirely illegal U.S. government.
How many government employees are there? I mean, just Federal Gov’t? It seems easy to think of “The Government” as a sort of monolithic “Thing” … when it is actually a large group of career criminals. Perhaps the only thing that government has in common with businesses … it’s “the people” who make the difference.
Where’s the illegitimate administration’s concern for the USA?
Since the faux-lection of 2020 we’ve gone nowhere but downward toward the Unconstitutional UnTied States of America.
I can go with the “better story” angle, so lets start here:
Next up Biden will announce that we are putting “Stilettoes on the Ground“ in Ukraine, followed by a presentation by John Kerry on the introduction of “Low Emissions Ordinance“, to reduce the Pentagon’s carbon footprint.
If the Babylon Bee hasn’t done and IPO yet, it needs too!!! This has to be the most target rich environment that ever existed for them.
Put the tranny admiral who looks like the Quaker Oats guy in charge.
Maybe Gigolo John is waiting on his friend, James Taylor and his “You’ve Got A Friend” BS?
When you’ve got a ‘Tax Free’ $7 million yacht,… you don’t need James Taylor or any other ‘Friends’!
Gigolo pays!
As though Putin isn’t the very model of political corruption.
No doubt Ukraine was a money laundering operation on par with Afghanistan… and as Afghanistan disappeared, Ukraine was probably slotted to pick up the slack.
Could it be that Putin also intends to destroy the 14 bioweapons labs (funded by US NIH) also?
No, just take them.
This is what I am speculating, hoping it’s all about.
Too many innocent lives being lost to think Trump had anything to do with this. Trump would have been on the horn with Putin and ironed this crap out so there was no war
Indeed. It never would have come near to this. PT was raining NATO in….not using it to jab the Russian bear over and over while engaged in non stop looting .
Please, please, please remember that the worldwide media is owned by 6 people and their corporations are all the enemy of the people of the world!!!!! Pure gas-lighting and lies 24/7/365…knowingly, knowingly, knowingly.
Trump had nothing to with this invasion, there’s currently a lot unnecessary brutality going on against Ukraine’s civilians by Russian troops
Trump wouldn’t have no part of this, his history is one of negotiating and firmly anti-war.
Nope.
This is not even Hopium anymore. This is going way beyond even the ‘4D-chess’, or Qanon, or any other ‘lets wait just a little longer, it will all turn out great for sure’ …..
Putin is NOT doing anything to help Trump, or with Trump’s blessing, or with Trump’s cooperation, or with Trump’s involvement in any way or measure.
Putin is only doing what is beneficial to Putin. Not even Russia. Just Putin.
Just like our whole DC corrupt evil kleptocrats are only ever doing what is beneficial to them, and F! the American People.
I have to disagree here; Putin has done much to improve the lives of his people.
Political repression and MURDER are the most conspicuous “benefits.”
Arnie is quite correct. The average Russians income has increased 800 percent in 20 years. Much of the corruption is actually gone. The Russian economy is now the 6th largest in the world. They have rejected globalism, they have supported the family and traditional religious values.
Putin has openly criticized Stalin, and warned the west about the false siren song of mythopoetic Marxism.
Our own government is led by evil power hungry men who despise American ideals of limited small government. They have committed great crimes against the world, the Covid experience being perhaps the greatest crime in history.
A history based feud between a foreign government ( set up by the deep state to facilitate and fund political corruption) and a separatist movement, within that nation, of historical Russians, who have been discriminated against for many years, is nothing for us to get involved in.
Yes, despite many authoritarian bents, Putin has vastly improved the lives of Russians. And, despite Putin being one of Klaus Schwab’s WEF “Young Global Leaders”, he has rejected the utterly fantastical myth of the “benevolent” olgarchical fascistic corporatism forwarded & haled by WEF & their cronies & collusive LSM as THE solution to ALL mankind’s ills. He knows history far too well, including the history of his own country & that of the Ukraine area. He knows it’s BS, and should it actually come to fruition, will result in planet-wide death, destruction, and misery – for many decades, perhaps a century or more. It’s utter failure is built into the cake, so to speak, despite what Schwab and many others want to believe.
IMO
Putin can’t be led around by the WEF
He has his own initiatives and objectives on how to restore the Russian Empire and to him that is number one.
Agree 100%. Thank you for saying this. Many have been so conditioned over the years to see Russia! and Putin! as the “enemy” and “bad guys.” Are there really ANY good guys (or gals) running ANY country today? I can’t think of one. Not one. Actually, I would rank Putin well ahead of most, if not all of them. I know this sounds crazy, but I think Russia may be the only place left on earth where one can escape the coming globalist nightmare. Who would have thunk it… escape from the antichrist and one-world gov is in Russia. Oh, and at least Putin knows how to deal with the Soros thug “peace protestors,” which are probably just offshoots of Soros’ antifa and BLM here.
Russian economy is not 6th ranked.
It is 11th ranked, most of it due to oil.

Excerpt from Putin recent speech regarding our decadent values contaminating their society
“Properly speaking, the attempts to use us in their own interests never ceased until quite recently: they sought to destroy our traditional values and force on us their false values that would erode us, our people from within, the attitudes they have been aggressively imposing on their countries, attitudes that are directly leading to degradation and degeneration, because they are contrary to human nature. This is not going to happen. No one has ever succeeded in doing this, nor will they succeed now.”
“Incidentally, US politicians, political scientists and journalists write and say that a veritable “empire of lies” has been created inside the United States in recent years. It is hard to disagree with this.” Putin.
Can you say for sure that we what have heard from the media propaganda over the past hundreds hasn’t been them regurgitating what our illustrious politicians wanted.
Certainly we have heard nothing but lies and untruths things that made our government look grand and wonderful.
While I love our Constitutional Republic I abhor those who have stolen it by treachery and greed then lie about it.
You truly “get” it.
I disagree – Putin is doing what Putin needs to do. Ukraine is utterly corrupt, and needs draining. The WEF and their cronies, including the Big Banks & Big Bankers, have made it into their money-laundering playground and one of their money-holding safehouses. And, not only will the draining benefit Putin & Russia, it will also benefit most of the world.
I do disagree that Trump is involved, even in some nebulous way – there’s simply no way to know that, no way to verify that, and no way for him to be so and keep it unknown from the intense surveillance state we’re all under – TRUMP’S INVOLVEMENT WOULD BE SCREAMED FROM THE STATE DEPT & WH & COLLUSIVE LSM FROM EVERY “PULPIT” THEY HAVE FROM NOW UNTIL THE END OF TIME!!!
Even if it isn’t true. Russia Russia Russia part 39
I will keep saying it: One on one meeting between Putin and Trump, translators only.
Vindeman, and a corrupt Ukrainian government.
What could they have possibly been discussing?
Only one translator needed. Melania.
One small problem. Trump would never, ever enable the many deaths from this operation.
You’re not understanding the scale of what’s happening… Deaths are inevitable at this point. Whose exactly, though, remain to be seen.
“If that b’strad gets elected, we’re all gonna swing!”___U Noo Hoo (circa 2016)
I’m having flashbacks to 5D chess..
Excellent points, all. Thank you!!!
yep
You decide to change your entire hypersonic missile strategy to targeting all western MSM office buildings.
😉😎
If the Gimmydats aren’t careful when trotting out these wussies, ninnies, and milke toasts on the world stage, they just may kill their boogie man Vlady by laughing himself to death. He has to be gasping for breath constantly, as he and his cabinet laugh their ass’es off, at this continuous parade of incompetent, ignorant flower children stepping up to the podium to sing the Youngbloods (Get Together) …….“C’mon people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together, we got to love one another right now”. Soooooo F**King out of touch, they understand nothing and that means we are screwed as well as Ukrainians, Taiwanese, and Hong Kong, and likely Israel.
China is really the only “winner” here – no matter what happens at this point.
China may look powerful, but their econmy is a mile wide and an inch deep.
Stuart Smalley foreign policy
So yes the progressive political left are basically saying, when MONSIEUR Kerry says show, “Me some love when bombs are falling, you can be rest assured the globalist agenda is being carried out to the n’th detail.”
The absolute insanity of all this is the deflection of the onerous of setting the stage for global economic collapse per Schwab.
The only end game the political progressive left are playing for is being able create a situation/outcome, “Where posse comitatus can be subspended leading to where the Federal Government says, “Elections must be Federalized.”
That is how transparent all this is.”
And I for one don’t buy for second, the fact our National Narrative has NOT been a counter intelligence operation since 2014/16. Since day one.
Stop an think about it, seriously stop and think about it.
When truth is assaulted, and trampled on to degree we have experienced. When fragrant lies of being caught with so many hands in the cookie jar are allowed to pass mustard with no outcomes that validate our Democratic strengths. That is the moment, “When you know the FOIL has succeeded in dividing our Republic.”
Sundance, you are abreast and smart enough to read in between the lines with what you know to be baselines to figure out what I am saying.
Look I have been the train ride for sometime.
Just look towards the key moments of opportunity to really nail the conservative/librarian voice that somehow shoots itself in the foot without missing a beat.
That is the level of which honest dyed in the wool Patriots are being counter intelligence betrayed.
Hence my insistence of truly understanding the meaning of counter-intelligence operations.
Look, as this is all playing out. At some point those, that is the regular citizens that run with the day to day bellying up to belief in the system, trying to raise a family are being consistently presented with FEARS.
That is the working goal of counter intelligence, to utilitize fear in a systemic process that is designed to reduce them to the emotional.
What happens when the emotional is forced.
Thus the power and value social media.
What we are up against, is the reduction of, “What happens when the Frito Lay trucks stop running?”
Are you reading me!
Maybe misreading rage as fear? This Patriot is enraged, never fearful.
The Dems/RINOs have always lead by use of terror and chaos for the regular citizens out there! They are the party of wars. They destabilize everything so that the sheeple will “have to trust them”! I’m no sheeple, and I’ll never trust them! True patriots need to stand firm and put off the evil leftist socialist power grabbers! It’s now or never, folks!
No, I am not reading hour nonsensical blabber.
I agree with a lot of that… That this is all theater, to try to keep us, We the People, distracted from what they’re really doing/trying to do – martial law, suspension of the Constitution, suspension of elections, etc. – to frame an “excuse” for doing so via trying to blame Russia… They just gotta keep beating that dead horse of a manta – RUSSIA – RUSSIA – RUSSIA… To cover for their collusion with the REAL enemy – CHINA. And, CHINA is/will be the true “winner” in all this. And, these dumba$$es don’t even see that!!! They’re being played by the CCP like the fools they are. They really believe that the CCP will agree to be just one of the several “states” in the New World Order!!! Ha. The CCP WANTS TO BE THE NWO. Period.
We are being led by a collection of feel good, intellectual, empty headed lame brains. It’s mind boggling how we allowed all these complete nincompoops to take over our govt. The price we are paying will take a very long time, if ever, to recover from. How so many Americans are still not seeing the horror show going on in their federal govt. starring the Dems and the rinos is beyond me. It’s the stuff of nightmares.
He’s right to the extent that economic tech strength are vital to national security/strength but the rest is the product of the participariontrophy g3neration.
Tech strength is very little compared to energy independence, (the opposite of Biden and the statists failures) economic independence in all critical areas – food, industry, technology, etc.
They have broken the USA
Putin must be hurting himself laughing.
Xi can’t believe his luck…sure stories….

Thank you for sharing that link. It’s a long read, but worth the time. Very thoughtful piece of writing.
“it becomes impossible to claim that Biden’s handling of the Russian threat to Ukraine has strengthened him either domestically or internationally”
But that fact won’t deter the Brandon admin and their lapdogs in the dead media from trying. Endlessly.
“The false claims against Trump that were generated by the Democrat Party and the national security establishment and pumped into the public’s bloodstream by the media made it impossible for Trump and his advisors to advance their plans to develop constructive relations with Russia. Their intention had been to entice Putin to abandon Russia’s partnership with Iran in Syria, and they hoped to divide Russia away from China as well.
But with Trump and his closest advisors under investigation by a politicized FBI and Justice Department, under allegations of collusion with Russia generated by opposition research funded by the Clinton campaign, and with the media pumping the story into the public bloodstream, Trump could not go through with his planned policies. He was compelled to oppose Russia at all turns. As a consequence, during his presidency, Russia grew closer to both Iran and China, to the detriment of the US.
In light of the fact that the US has no military option to defend Ukraine, and that sanctions on Russia will harm the US economy, the smart move in Ukraine would have been to cut a deal with Putin that conceded Ukraine in exchange for Russia cooperation on other fronts important to the US. Had Biden sought such a deal, he would have preserved NATO intact, caused no further harm to US credibility, and, perhaps, gotten Russia on board in areas where Russia and the US have common interests. But after five years during which Biden and his party have painted Putin as humanity’s Enemy Number 1, Biden had no choice but to continue castigating Putin and Russia. And so he did. And thus NATO, and the US’s credibility as an ally have become the latest victims of the Trump-Russia conspiracy.”
These people are still in high school mentally. They have not advanced past the 10th grade.
I remember talking to my stepmom about Vietnam and saying well if we just talked to them the war would end. Her first husband was downed in the Korean War and never found. She smiled at me and said, “that’s not how this works.” It angered me at the time. I was in sixth grade. She’s passed on now but someone needs to tell LGB and his administration. I suppose reality will be their teacher. “That’s not how this works.” Crikey, we are in for a time aren’t we?
‘Dont Look Up’ to a T
It’s a European thing.
It’s a female thing.
No, seriously. Think about it.
So by his measure if that video gets a lot of downvotes hes resigning??🤔
Taiwan needs to hire a bunch of writers and fast !!! As it looks like they will be reciting phrases from Mao’s Little Red Book… as the United States has discovered a new reality: “…success in the 21st century is not about a physical land grab of territory.” (lol)
Gengis Khan must have been very likable.
This administration is a whole green house of House plants. Egad, what an idiot.

Look at your source. We literally have no valid information at all.
Multiple outlets are reporting this. I have no reason to think reports, photos, and videos are fake.
Pretty good short take on Zelensky and President Trump here by Don Surber. 👇

That is quite an interesting piece. Thank you for posting it.
This is how Rome fell and why the Eastern Empire went on for another 1,000 years. Over a 200 year time period, Rome became infested with non-Romans–not even Italian. Gibbon blamed it on the rise of “Syrians” within the hierarchy and determined that the beginning of the Fall was the first Syrian Emperor. These foreign emperors were much more harsh to toward the citizens than the native Italian emperors had been. His second point was the universal citizenship granted to everyone within the empire’s borders. Again, that was something that never happened in the Eastern Empire. While it is true that Greeks were a large part of the Eastern Empire, the Romans always considered them a kind of kin as they themselves were “Greekified”.
This artificial implantation of the non-Europeans into a nation that was founded and built by Europeans was deliberate and one of the means by which the Bolsheviks intended to destroy the USA (and the West in general) from within. These imports have no connection to the historic nation, its people or its culture and have no intention of ever being a part of it. They are here to destroy our “white supremacism”. His presence, amongst others in this administration, is proof of their commitment to that concept.
VDH on Putin.
https://victorhanson.com/putins-predictabilities/
Is it possible Putin is ending the planned perpetual scamdemics?
Because it didn’t happen that is why no one is talking about it
You mean kind of like how we left Afghanistan? We have a better story so we really defeated the Taliban? “Yes”
You mean so even though women are being beheaded and raped and mutilated we actually won because we don’t do that? “Essentially, yes”.
You mean so that even though we left with nothing and the Taliban now has $85 Billion of U.S. weapons we actually won because we have a better story? “I don’t know how much clearer I can be, but, essentially we won because we are better than that”.
You mean so it’s like when you were a kid on the playground and bully kicked your @$$, stole your lunch money and ran off with your girlfriend, you actually won the war? “Yes! That’s what my mom said!”
I guess if this is what those in DC really value, I am really fecked.
And I don’t care in the slightest.
“U.N. Secretary-General Guterres addresses U.N. Security Council meeting: “If indeed an operation is being prepared, I have only one thing to say from the bottom of my heart:
-Pres. Putin, stop your troops from attacking Ukraine.
Give peace a chance.”
Maybe Yoko Ono can plead with Putin.
Maybe John Kerry can send over James Taylor to sing a song……again
Biden to divert agents from US southern border to send them overseas to assist w/Ukraine/Russia conflict.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAT???????

Listening to this eunuch should absolutely explain why the US is not only currently an embarrassment on the world stage but is on the verge of falling from within. With idiots like this piece of trash in any kind of a leadership position, the US in its current form will not last until 11/2024
“Eunuch” 🤣
He reminded of that Obama spokesEunuch, “Benghazi? Dude, that was like two years ago!”
X22 report today has some provocative speculation about this. I say speculation, because they aren’t always reliable.
I love how positive Dave is all the time about everything. I can’t listen anymore because reality says otherwise. Or when he does an episode saying “Don’t pick dates” and them immediately picks dates.
I hope he is right.
Yes, “Hopium Dave” has been wrong about alot of things. But he has also turned out to be right about alot of things. So I always treat what Dave says as “speculation”–could be right, could be wrong, time will tell which. Now, Sundance is always right. haha
Hopefully, someone will track the results of strikes. What if, Putin turns out to have targeted all the bio labs? This would make him a hero! And, Biden and the CIA the opposite.
Your story – who you are, what your values are; can you attract ideas and talent and goodwill?
Russia appears to be going after U.S. BioWeapons Labs – This is good, this very good.
Russia’s military operation in Ukraine seems to be going very successfully.
There have been dozens of reports of attacks in Ukraine since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a military invasion into the country on Feb. 23, 2022.
Wow… that’s truly “explosive” news.
Anti War protests in Russia.

A “culture of polite strength, loyalty and fierce protection”? WTF? Russia has a culture of conquest, subjugation, ethnic cleansing, political repression, and genocide.
Have these people ever met anyone with a pair? And I don’t say that to be nasty. These guys are aren’t men. They are just beta males. If you ever meet real Russians they are a very proud people.
All China has to do is call in their debt on We the People. Duly elected officials, our elected representative government, has been borrowing money from China for how long now? To fund OUR government? Almost all our currency is in the cloud. All they have to do is flip a switch. China owns us. And they have common interests with Russia.
I can only hope our country is resilient enough to survive the moronic onslaught by this current administration.
The managers never learned,” job content “. Social scores will not make nuts & bolts.
My daughter-N-laws’ mother left the USA last year and is now living just outside Kiev, Ukraine, where she was raised.
I hope the head of Ukraine calls Vladimir and says, “you know all those Nukes we agreed to destroy as RU agreed to Never attack Ukraine, with the USA and GB agreeing to protect Ukraine under the Dem Pres Clinton in 1993 (read now Marxists) ,…. Yeah, well since you are now cheating on it,… well we still have a few nuke missiles, just enough that we, ugh forget to admit to,.. just in case and if Putin’s tanks come within 20 miles of Kiev,… well, the Kremlin gets vaporized!”
“Got it, Jerk”?
Remember, we know where you are at all times, Dictator Putin, and we know you have bought off Biden, among with Xi and Germany. Happy Hunting, Vlad. Duck & Cover!
Waiting for our family members info now. Putin is our New Hitler. Xi is worse. Where’s Trump solid action when we need him???
Let’s Go Brandon,… The Bought-Off Traitor to the USA.

The actual Nazis are in the Ukraine. (Real ones.) For thirty years, Ukraine and its “allies” have been threatening Russia on the eastern border.
This region of the world has a long and storied history. The borders of countries have shifted frequently. The governments are corrupt. The situation is complex. There are multiple factions in Ukraine, including, as you note, Nazi’s. I don’t presume to understand the geopolitical situation by any means, but it is surely a sad time and awful time for any nation to come under attack. Innocent people’s lives are upended (at best), many will die, many will flee and are already doing so as Poland and other neighboring countries will be flooded with refugees.
It’s a dark time all around the world.

There is more.
Comrade Lenin, Russian, drowned in blood Ukrainian People’s Republic (1917-1920).
Comrade Stalin ordered the Great Famine (Holodomor) in Ukraine. 3.5 million Ukrainians died.
Who does this man think is going to suffer from these sanctions? The Americans! Higher fuel prices, food shortages. Russia can get all their technology from China and Taiwan. They expect us to be stupid.
“Who does this man think is going to suffer from these sanctions? The Americans!”
First of all, “this man” doesn’t THINK at all. He is a vegetable, and a puppet, and the strings of this demented robot are being pulled by people who have contempt for America and all it stands for.
So what is the casualty count so far? The fakenews pushers are desperately trying to find some dead bodies; preferably a lot of them. Because without some visual footage soon they will have a hard time keeping up the mirage of an all out war going on in Youcrane.
Downtown capital city of Kiev livestream.
Things look rather normal for a Friday morning.
Traffic a bit less than usual but no tanks in the streets.
No burning buildings, bodies in the streets or raging gunfights.
Wonder if they are even a match for the death rate for gang violence in Chicago, LA, Baltimore and Atlanta?
“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 that’s why WE feel everyone – including Ukrainians – who yearn to be free will embrace our social credit score system with fanatical devotion. Or get cancelled.”
No doubt the results to be decided by Dominion voting machines?
Saw tonight on Newsmax that we spend 22 million daily on Russian oil. Joe has helped to finance the slaughter of the good people of Ukraine. Nice job, Joe.
Brandon: “What the F,… Vladimir, you saying Ukraine, that I Owned with bribes for years now, just called you and said they still have a few secret nukes left aimed at the Kremlin and your oligarks if your tanks roll into Kiev then, Boom?,… Damn,… they didn’t mention WDC or Delaware did they????”
pSaki, where’s my ice creme!
What stupidity. Putin called your bluff. If the story is all that matters, the Dem leadership had already been painting Russia a villain on the world stage. He had nothing to lose, while gaining a secure western border with a neutral Ukraine.

The U.S. is sending missiles, mortars and ammunition to Ukraine. Not enough to stop a Russian invasion but plenty to fuel a guerrilla insurgency.
The only thing he left out were the United States’ pronouns.
Well played. Very well indeed.
Vassal, communist.
Nothing was said about cutting off U.S. dollar payments to Russia for their oil which could top $65 billion. Or whether Germany, France, Poland, Italy, etc. will suspend payments to Russian for oil/gas? Russia could easily abrogate any long-term contracts on the basis that sanctions have abrogated Russian banks’ international agreements. I don’t think the idea has been fully baked.
Russia’s Banking assets are a fraction of the country’s fossil fuel assets. So, bottle up the banks but leave the pipeline open to get U.S./European payments. And this doesn’t even address what to do if Russia decides to double its price. Already Dmitry Medvedev has warned Germany about € 2.00 for each cubic meter of natural gas. Can’t take them out of SWIFT. It is the key mechanism the U.S. and Europe use to pay for Russian Gas and oil. And they will keep paying Billions, even if Russia abrogates its forward contracts and triples its price.
Is that the same Dmitry Medvedev that carried Obama’s message to Vlad assuring him of having more “flexibility” after Obama’s re-election?

yep dats da one! And Obummer the big eared Kenyon is still flexable,,,
Biden: “We’re gonna throw some more sanctions on you, but can we still buy your oil?”

Little dummy boy in the WH is bringing to bear all the power of central banking on Putin. Like he is a protesting trucker. I suspect Puppet’s advisors have never considered that Putin would have anticipated this as the sole arrow in the WEF quiver. Hmmm, and did it anyway. What if Putin uses a reserve currency other than the dollar? Might that have strategic consequences on our arrogant elites? Is it possible for them to consider that there are other levers of power in the world besides overinflated fiat currency backed by a bankrupt and disorganized nation rent down the middle by governmental illegitimacy and beholden to its great foe, China? Never mind, Psaki might explain in her imbecilic high school mean-girls inflections. We’re not sitting in the world’s biggest glass house…
So Biden grovels for Putin to not turn off the oil spigot as we have been made dependents by our failed leadership. Bet those sanctions are pretty toothless now. Ukraine has been gypped on all those bribes dispensed to Biden.
