Major HatTip to [PTC on Twitter] for finding this article and quote. First, the context:
Yesterday, the New York Times reported on U.S. intelligence and diplomatic officials from the State Dept sharing intelligence with Chinese officials in the three months leading up to the Russian invasion. {Go Deep on Analysis} The narrative from the article tells the story of the U.S. trying to convince China in December, January and February to intervene and persuade Russia not to cross the border into Ukraine.
Many people have looked at this story from the perspective of incompetence, i.e. why would the Biden team think China would not share the intel, etc.
However, when it comes to these types of issues, never ascribe to incompetence that which can be explained by intent.
There’s every reason to believe what the Biden intelligence community and state department were sharing with China, was done with the intention of Beijing giving it to Moscow.
From that perspective, the question around intent becomes, what did they push and why did they push it?
Now we get to the story, quote and critical Reuters article from December of 2021. What was being said by Joe Biden to Ukraine President Vladimir Zelenskyy?
Reuters, December 9, 2021 – “U.S. President Joe Biden assured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that Kyiv’s bid to join the NATO military alliance was in its own hands, Zelenskiy’s chief of staff said after the two leaders spoke on Thursday.
Biden and Zelenskiy had a call two days after Biden held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin to try to defuse a crisis over Russian troop movements near Ukraine’s borders. (read more)
In mid-December of 2021, Joe Biden was telling President Zelenskyy the entry of Ukraine into NATO was up to Ukraine. If they want in, they’re in.
This is a red line for Russia, Joe Biden knew it. Vladimir Putin had been very clear about his opposition, and everyone knew it. Russia would never concede allowing Ukraine to enter NATO.
Worth noting, this is the same December 2021, time frame when the U.S. intel community and Dept of State were talking to China about the Russian troop buildup, per the New York Times info.
The Biden administration is not stupid enough to tell Zelenskyy he’s about to enter NATO without knowing this would trigger a definitive military response from Putin.
There’s only one way to look at this. The Biden administration was purposefully baiting Putin, and provoking Putin to invade Ukraine, because the team around Biden wanted Putin to invade Ukraine.
The question then becomes why? Why would the people in/around Biden want to provoke Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine?
Again, a critical frame of reference is needed to answer that question: never ascribe to incompetence that which can be explained by intent.
With the scale of economic bad news and catastrophic policy outcomes overwhelming the White House, a geopolitical crisis to distract the world’s attention does have major benefits. However, this specific motive is also deeper than that.
This crisis actually helps advance the goals and objectives of domestic policy in multiple ways.
The people around Biden want soaring energy costs; they want huge increases in gasoline costs as part of their Green New Deal agenda. These are ideological travelers, the most intense elements within the Obama crowd, and Biden has been installed as a disposable figurehead allowing them to operate a policy agenda without any concern for political damage.
Paving the path to ‘the great reset’, also known as ‘Build Back Better’, is much easier when the fundamental change crowd can just plow full speed ahead.
These are the most entrenched ideologues who consider federal deficit spending as a means to an end, where the U.S. is fundamentally changed and forever diminished because we are broke.
Through this prism of consequence, all of the negative domestic outcomes from Russia entering Ukraine and our responses therein, are not viewed as bad outcomes. These consequences are domestic and economic pains to be embraced, not avoided. After all, the people delivering these outcomes will never, themselves, feel any of it.
Watch what happens if our own government, these same entrenched ideologues, are successful in leveraging the sanctions against Russia to include the removal of Russia from the SWIFT financial exchanges.
Russia, China and Iran will immediately respond to the “west” blocking Russia from the SWIFT financial system. If they launch a counter trade currency to work around the petro-dollar, it will not take long before the dollar is weakened or removed as the global trade currency. If that happens, it’s game over for the United States of America as we know it.
Now, think about the Obama crew, the most ideological of all ideological traveling globalists…. the same crew who wanted to see the decolonialization of western culture. The crew who wants ‘fundamental and permanent change’. For this crew, the collapse of the United States is their goal. For this crew, getting to that place by putting SWIFT sanctions on Russia is a net positive.
From that perspective, what is happening in Ukraine-Russia becomes a completely different dynamic.
Why would the people in/around Biden want to manipulate information, stoke, trigger and provoke Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine?
Well, there’s your answer.
This also makes things easier for China to invade and take over Taiwan and control a massive amount of micro-chip production. There are already problems with this in our supply chain and further reduction of supply could cripple us.
That seems to be the plan. The USA is now incapable of producing chips on a large scale. As a practical matter, the USA is incapable of producing enough goods to take care of itself. Already, there are significant shortages of truck parts. In the 1970s, Russia would have 1 truck running with 4 trucks sitting for a lack of parts. We are trading places with Russia of 50 years ago right now.
I am an Arizona native whose father worked at Motorola and Dickson Electronics in the 60s and 70s. Both were essentially the predecessors to Intel. Don’t be so quick to count out US manufacturers of microchips. The question is not “can we do it,” but rather, “can we make a profit worth the investment” if we go back to making our own chips.
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/intel-to-build-massive-20-billion-chip-factory-in-ohio-report-11642738612
Of course they can make a profit, I doubt Intel ever lost money making chips, maybe the startup years? . It’s how much profit can they add by going overseas with the manufacture if the chips. And Taiwan does manufacture the majority of chips in the world.
Trump tried to change that and bring manufacturing back to USA. Voters decided they prefer America’s demise instead.
….. “voters” decided they prefer America’s demise instead …..
“Voters,” decided?
China Zhou attracted around 40 million votes to President Trump’s 80+ million.
Until the fascist-Marxist “democrats'” Deep State’s 100% organized-sovereign-criminal-owned-operated-and-controlled vote “counting” machinations sneaked and slithered into action in the night — and stole the election.
“Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.” — Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili alias Joseph Stalin.
I’d heard about the famine in Ukraine early in the 20th century, but had never heard the Jews had such a hard time there … essentially a genocide preceding the Nazi genocide
Beset from all sides, they apparently affiliated with the Bolsheviks for protection, ultimately setting themselves up for even more anti-Bolshevik fury, both there and in Germany and Poland
The Killing Fields of Ukraine
Massacres of over 100,000 Jews between 1918 and 1921 paved the way for the Nazi Holocaust-by-bullets
If I may expand on this:
If not exaggerated, Solzhenitsyn asserts that since 1917, the Bolsheviks, continuing under assassin Stalin, through and even after WW2, systematically executed, and inside (and outside) their thousands of Gulags, worked, starved and froze to death, SIXTY-SIX million people, not all, but most of them CHRISTIANS (whom the Bolsheviks hated). This mass death was THE LARGEST REAL “HOLOCAUST” in modern history – but totally unknown today by most Americans, British and western Europeans and absent from our school books. Of course no publisher in the Western world dares reprint Solzhenitsyn’s book in English.
Jim Forbes, is there a specific book by Solzhenitsyn that you are saying is not printed or sold in the US? Amazon has many offerings by Solzhenitsyn:
Yes. 200 Years Together has not been printed or sold in the US.
Edgar, apparently one is coming in 2024. Appears to be a translation issue.
https://www.solzhenitsyncenter.org/his-writings/large-works-and-novels/two-hundred-years-together
Many Ukrainian Jews had ancestors who died in the Holocaust, including President Zelensky.
Here’s an idea for Zelensky and the Ukranian legislature: Use privateers.
Well, Mr. Sundance, if you are correct, than the death of SWIFT and the dollar as reserve currency is on the table. If it goes, then all goes. The USA will be broke over night. I wrote on a piece on this VFR 15 years ago and that it might be necessary to right the ship of state. Without the ability to simply print money, the Left will die here. Of course it will bring more pain that the great depression, but that pain will also wash out all of the parasites who have been sucking the life out of this nation and changing its culture at the same time.
We will know in the not too distant future. In the mean time, I will cheer the PEOPLE of Ukraine on–as I know why they hate Russians so much. So too does the rest of Eastern Europe.
Sundance. I agree 100%. Don’t think you’ve ever written anything that outlined my own thoughts so well.
I watched some RT coverage this morning to see the Russian side of the story and came away thinking that we goaded Russia as well for the last 8 yrs.
I heard that Biden is going to be lifting sanctions off of Iran, so their oil supply will soon be on the open mkt and I am pretty sure they won’t be trading in petro dollars.
The UAE and India joined China in not voting to condemn Russia at the UN. I have worried for some time that all these financial sanctions the US throws around like confetti are further endangering our place as the reserve currency.
Fundamental Transformation may have been Jug Ears’ tag line and he laid some foundations for it, but Team Biden is the wrecking crew.
God help us.
I will say it again, as soon as Biden resurrected Nuland I knew we would be at this place. They wanted their war with Russia. I believe that the NATO talk combined with Zalinskyy going on about nukes while in Munich was the last straw. Nobody was coming to the aid of the Donbass Russians and the 8 year war would not have happened without the Maidan. We elevated and armed Nazis. Those guys behind Poreshenko on CNN are Azov.
Been watching RT a lot past few days (before its banned). I am aware it is mostly propaganda, but I already know what propaganda I will hear on cnn, MSLSD, fox, newsmax.
“We don’t submit to terror, we make the terror”.

The Dick Lugar Bio Lab has been operational in Georgia for many years. He hasn’t been a Senator for a while. We have been funding labs everywhere.
Fully supports this reason. I am DUMBFOUNDED that no one remembers when Victoria Newland, (US State Dept under President OSAMA) spilled the beans on open mic that the US State Dept, in concert with NAZl Soros, spent $5 billion to overthrow the legitimate government of Ukraine, and tried to install a REAL NAZl government on Russia’s border. (Remember, 20 million Russians died in WW2 at the hands of REAL NAZl’s) They (and Hunter) all got the honeypot gas deals for their role in Soros’s madness. Then the SAME people blame Russia for “Russian aggression” in protecting their people in Crimea… Now Russia is certainly no angel, but the OSAMA state department was 100% in the wrong there, and set US / Russian relations back 50 years with that stunt; thereby, GREATLY diminishing the national security of the United States of America. The OSAMA administration, and now Bidens administration, in its entirety should be hung for treason for its actions in Ukriane. Now do you WONDER why after four years of relative peace under Trump that this madness is starting again???. What are YOU going to do when they send YOUR kids to die for their cause? Oh, and haters, don’t bother trying to argue my points, they are FACTS… FACTS available to anyone who dares do the research, and I will not entertain any conspiracy theories to the contrary.
Haters? Where did they go? Looks like everyone agrees
Canada woke people up.
This is the price we pay for our betters aka elite to keep their money laundering and human trafficking center aka ukraine alive. Our betters must maintain their access to clean money and dirty sex.
I watched the Maidan streaming upon the interwebs. Klitch, Nuland mentioned in the Pyatt call, is the current Mayor of Kiev.
4th Generation Ukrainian tells us all why Putin entering Ukraine is a GOOD thing. Make this go viral!

UKRAINE PRESS RELEASE ABOUT JOE BIDEN
https://www.bitchute.com/video/B7sQCDRKpN1O/
The bitchute video spells out what We already were told but did nothing about. The District of Corruption pols are competing for the top prize with the Ukrainian pols. The citizens of both countries are the losers.
This is a good report. This info was out there years ago and covered up. Now Mnuchin is involved in the coverup and refusing to expose the corruption. I would think he would have been eager to go after the corruption. At the end of the conference, Ukranian citizens express that they believe nothing will happen to the criminals. No prosecutions or accountability, exactly like it is here!!!!! I hope these evil criminals in Ukraine and the US will be brought to justice! FJB
Obama’s third term is even worse than his first two terms and a bigger failure too. Obama is totally incompetent and is totally clueless when it comes to the economy, to the point of mental retardation. Remember Obama, the Communist and his Obamunist followers hate Russia because it failed to keep their beloved communist slave state the old failed Soviet Union up and running. Obama is too stupid to realize that the communist slave state he wants here in America would fail too. Communism fails everywhere it is tried because it is incompatible with humankind. Then again anyone can see that Communist Obama is far from the brightest person in the room, hell even if it was just he and senile Joe Biden in the room, in Joe’s Current condition, Obama would be the dumbest person in the room.
What’s stupid is thinking Obama’s stupid.
That fkn Muslim liar got himself elected as president of the most powerful country on Earth. Then proceeded to dismantle it piece by piece.
He got Biden and Harris installed and directs them in continuing the final assault and conquest of America.
The ONLY STUPID thing here is anyone who says Obama’s stupid.
He is a lazy, not stupid figurehead from Kenya who does what the commies want. Valery Jaret was running him, like Huma did with Hillary. What Patriots really need to do is snipe the top 1000 globalist pukes, and then see who takes their place, and snipe them too. It is obvious China owns our government, and our current government is the enemy of the people and our Constitution and Declaration of Independence.
Yeah, Obama was stupid enough to get Ketanji Jackson confirmed by the senate BEFORE she was nominated for the Supremes.
Mitch, Graham and most republican (rinos) are not America first, China bought, blackmailed, willingly turned on us for China.
Never attribute incompetence when it’s really intent.
The Xiden regime just isn’t smart enough to bait anything.
While I agree completely with this analysis, do not forget to add in the Durham revelation this week of Hilary Clintons hand in the Trump investigations, and the need to turn attention away from that to “something else.”
This is treason. When do we start hanging the enemies of “We The People”. We can start in DC.
We need a different term than “intelligence” to describe it.
Central Insurrection Agency
obongo and ValJar must be giddy with excitement….and they’re immune from criticism because to the world, it’s just old Joe fu*&king things up to a fare thee well.
Democrats want to destroy America and rule over the ashes.
No they want to destroy the USA and rule the world. They are Globalists and our Constitution and the people who believe in it are in the way of their ambitions. Though many Dems have no idea about this.
Please stop with the “The people around Biden…” and give us real names so we know exactly who to take out!!!
All of them.
It’s the entire Obama and Clinton cabinet with the help of the House and Senate (both parties)
There may be a method to this madness…
Refer to “intnet, not stupidy”
Day 4
Very positive news coming out of Ukraine.
Also supplements the above post.
Here is what the Poles have noticed (all open source, youtube, twitter etc.):
The defense of Ukraine was meticulously planned and is tactically being executed brilliantly. (There words, not mine.)
Further, it appears that not all the US Aid that went into Ukraine over the last 8 years was pilfered. Ukrainian units are very well trained, executing defense operations flawlessly. Suspect US advisors (military, spec ops) are present. Also suspect that Ukrainian defense is run out of 5 sided building (5SB), hint, hint.
Ukrainian theater has been prepared for a long time for just this type of an incursion. Exactly this RU scenario has been foreseen. Roads prepared for incursion, CCTV everywhere. 5SB sees RU movement and is on line with line units in country. RU can’t see UK forces since… wait for this… they left their mobile phones in their barracks. Turns out that even a turned off phone emits radio magnetic finger prints, which RU used in 2014 Crimea campaign. But due to this new normal, the RU are blind.
Air defense is still operational for UK. RU not able to secure airspace. RU weakness known, but not fully explainable. More on this later.
Due to not trying to get air superiority, RU strategy is one not seen to this day in RU military doctrine (Pole stress that this is not “incompetence” or “bravado” from an insane Putin.) What the RU have done is that they have replaced the prep-fire phase (say 2 weeks of heavy bombing before first ground unit moves) with what is described as a “prep fire by human cannon fodder” (2 hours of prep-fire before entering with ground force in this case). And then see what happens. Maybe its better to describe this as a reconnaissance by the entire force.
Putin might have also suspected that he was being set up. (Why would US tell China, etc.) What the RU did was send in the least effective units in the first wave (1/3 of force – 50-65k?) with the oldest equipment and a thinned out force. (Exception being the Air Mobile forces NW of Kiev- but they had no choice.)
They have bypassed the large cities (which is why they are still in UK hands as of this writing) and made a run for Kiev. They carry their supplies in the columns, and by the Poles estimates contain 4 to 5 days of rations, fuel, ammo (DOS’s). Because the fighting has been heavy, these units without open supply lines are beginning to run out of fuel, ammo, food. Starting to see units going on foraging runs into supermarkets, gas stations etc. The best case scenario is that many of these units will run out of supplies today. Many abandoned vehicles can be seen already.
W/r/t the abandoned vehicles, the UK forces are capturing the RU munitions and partially resupplying themselves. Think Viet Cong…
Therefore, the best way to describe what is happening is as follows: UK allow RU to move during the day, and then ambush at night. Last night was the most deadly for the RU yet. Yester-day was also a disastrous day for RU with huge losses in equipment.
Therefore, according to Poles, what appears to be the strategy for the UK in order to win the war is: to kill as many RU soldiers as possible. I.e. war of attrition.
And it is to this end, that the battle/defense plan was perfectly designed and is being executed with precision.
Which brings me to the post: is it possible that the US DoD (over many years) has laid a trap for the RU and goaded Putin into it?
Explains many things, such as why US would not let enter ceasefire negotiations just yet.
Here’s a small taste of the situation on the ground:
This is a brutal assessment…
“Biden has been installed as a disposable figurehead…”
Whoa!!!
A little levity in an otherwise serious business:
Looks like the Russians are just as delusional about the Ukrainians as Justin Trudeaux is about the Truckers…
More levity?
Notice it’s “defense spending” not “NATO spending”…
Which means that the Germans will gladly pay for an army that is controlled by them, but will not pay for one controlled by NATO.
I will say again: NATO is not there to protect Europe from Russia, but from Germany!
Sorry about the duplication…
Having issues with pc…
A thread with common sense and can see signs. Where have you all been, lol.
My father was a soldier in WWII,and stayed in Germany for awhile after the war.He said the same thing.One day,the Germans will try it again.
The leak must have come from Gen Milley.
Hope this works…
See Eye Aye also killed his brother RFK for his planned efforts against them. Everybody got the message.
Excellent analysis, well done.
Information from The New York Times and Reuters are not to be believed? My experience and I believe Sundance knows that these new agencies have been the conduits for delivering narrative information from our ruling elite to the public (serfs). Sadly the current Ukrainian conflict reflects the post-Covid next step of destabilizing the population and create the next level of population angst, lots of new refugees and the need to refill the defense industry’s coffers. This is music to the totalitarian’s marching music, just another speed bump on the road to their dreams.
Do you seriously the biden administration is prescient and smart enough to anticipate Putin?
Werent there rumors rattling around in Q space about how Hillary had a plan to start a war with Russia after her anointment in 2016? That wouldve preceded any need for a distraction existing today…. Anyone recall any of that scuttle butt?
You got the facts right, you just drew the wrong conclusion. A. Lincoln. Why would Biden share (fake) information with China regarding Ukraine’s admission to NATO? The article thinks he did it to entice Putin into a war to distract from his domestic problems. Maybe. I wrote the Dark Side (http://www.fritz-thecat.net) under the premise that Chamberlain was playing the role of arch appeaser to sucker Hitler into a war he could not win. I have speculated that Biden is fulfilling Chamberlain’s role this time around. This would put Trump in Churchill’s position. Regarding this article, my scenario would suggest that Biden’s enticement of Putin into a war is not to distract from his domestic troubles, but rather his domestic troubles are part of the bait designed to sucker Putin into a war he cannot win. BLM burning down cities to promote the idea of internal dissention, Woke Generals to promote the idea of an incompetent military. Communist infiltration and corruption at all levels of society are no doubt real, and could only encourage Putin, but also could be purged in short order when the balloon goes up, assuming the the DOJ and FBI were purged first. Recall U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie informing Saddam Hussain that the US had little interest in the border between Iraq and Kuwait. WW2 assured the Anglo Saxon world the cat bird seat for 50 years. Now China, Russia, and Iran threaten it again. All are economic shit holes right now. Put the boots to them while they are down has been a rule of thumb down through the ages. Putin has been nibbling territory from his neighbors for a long time now, while the West looked the other way, just as it did with Hitler. Hitler “burned his boats” when he attacked Poland. Will Putin do the same?

It’s almost like Intel agencies are refereeing, no?
I wouldn’t give Joe Biden and his crews this much intelligence to achieve a goal this sophisticated. This whole thing is nothing more than to justify abandoning the US embassy in Kiev by burning every documents it contains regarding Hunter and Joe Biden’s corrupt works.
This article gives the Biden administration WAY too much credit.
This might be a dumb question, but:
Does Putin actually like the United States? Because if not…why wouldn’t the Biden Administration handlers just go to Putin and Xi and request they make an alternate currency to the petro dollar and therein help with the slow demise of the United States?
Like why would they have to goad Putin into attacking Ukraine?
Why not share the grand plan with them and sell it as a way to ascend in influence and the lessening of influence of the United States.
Basically if China and Russia are American enemies wouldn’t they gladly participate in our demise? Why would he have to goad them into it?
It’s impossible to know what to believe anymore…about ANYTHING. We are constantly being gaslighted with propaganda and lies.
Well, Mr. Sundance, if you are correct, than the death of SWIFT and the dollar as reserve currency is on the table. If it goes, then all goes. The USA will be broke over night.

…. ersatz “president,” China-Zhou Xiden, lied to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that Kyiv’s bid to join the NATO military alliance was in its own hands …..
This after Gropey Zhou’s own insidious and massive corruption there: which has netted the definitively-corrupt Xiden Crime Family many Millions of Dollars; had seen to Ukraine’s being designated as “too corrupt” to qualify for NATO membership.
Biden’s money laundering machine is Ukraine, money in money out, amongst other things that are going on there, do your research , Burisma, our politicians invest in oil companies ect
I admit to being ignorant of nazis etc in Ukraine. But even if there were a strong nazi influence in Ukraine why would that trigger a Russian invasion? The Ukraine military could never invade Russia.
And if it were really nazi-fied the members of nato would object to letting them in.
