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.
It certainly fills in some blanks.
“The question then becomes why? Why would the people in/around Biden want to provoke Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine?”
To promote Nuclear power plants. The only solution to keep from funding bad guy Russia and in keeping with Klaus Schwab’s anti carbon stance.
Disclosure, I am invested in nuke.
Large scale nuclear energy is the only realistic alternative to carbon based fuels for the electric grid.
Interestingly, where are the greatest known reserves of Uranium around the world?
Ones I know of that possess sizable reserves include; Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine.
I get your drift but remember Uranium One treason.
Quite, if one had a national government that actually served it’s people.
The control of that resource was turned over effectively to a foreign government for exactly what in return?
Just money? Much too straightforward to explain all of it. There is still more to that story I am sure.
I believe you are correct. Robert “Sterling Character” Mueller was also involved
I think that was Hillary’s biggest ever windfall and I am sure there was lots of money to spread around.
Not to mention shrillary selling access to her server to foreign interests
That is what I have been saying for quite some time, but people cannot put two and two together! Some kind of denial going on of what the ultimate goals are.
In other news Buffet (Pacific Corp) just got CA and OR to cough up 2/3 of the cost of removing 4 hydro dams in CA for the salmon. It pays to be a big democrat donor!
https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Major-hurdle-cleared-in-plan-to-demolish-4-16948613.php
Article to go with your damn CA story. 😉 see what I did? 😇
Sorry, I was being lazy and did not find and post the link! Thanks for picking up behind me.
LOL….CA is already experiencing power shortages with rolling blackouts needed at times….now they are implementing the Slo Joe energy policy…..you eliminate the most needed energy source and then whine when you experience shortages
Karl Denninger at the Market Ticker has some very interesting speculation about coal and energy independence.
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=245263
Thorium reactors using coal tailings, that were previously used to make synthetic fuels.
Saving the precious oil for plastics and so one.
I also remember hearing something interesting about the possibility for economically recoverable amounts of Rare Earths in coal ash.
Here is a link for a document I found detailing some of the information in regards to Rare Earths in coal and coal fly ash.
https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2019/3048/fs20193048.pdf
<Saving the precious oil for plastics and so on.>
I want to say one word to you. Just one word…Plastics 🙂
….and it’s a stable nuke plant. Great technology.
The problem with this theory is that the people who want no carbon also don’t want nuclear. They just want the people to have no power available. They want us living back in the dark ages.
They have no compunctions about keeping such for exclusively their own use because as you have implied, peasants should have no expectation to have access to affordable energy once they have been suitably disabused of the notion of having nice things from their “betters”.
The Democrats running the NRC are rescinding license extensions for nuclear plants.
https://newswirenews.com/feds-rescind-license-extension-for-florida-nuclear-plant/
Bingo!
But it was still trendy to vote for failure for the US.
As I recall, weren’t Obama’s biggest supporters heavily invested in nuclear power at the same time HE declared war on coal and petroleum?
Not only is it a major distraction of the destruction from within they have perpetrated on our country, but it also destroys the evidence of the misdoings that major political families are involved in through Ukraine. There are too many illegal wrongdoings to leave it alone with Trump or some other Patriot coming back to be in charge in the future. See Afghanistan.
The military always destroys their own downed helicopter or plane with top secret technology so the enemy doesn’t get the info. Our anti American politicians do the same, just with countries, after they have been used and abused by them. They destroy the evidence they need to keep from the public without any care of the consequences, especially to America and Americans.
Fools, and make no mistake, Biden, Blinken, Kerry, and all of the rest of the top people in this administration, are fools, would assume the taking of the Ukraine would go smoothly, and they then could swoop in and conduct a sham peace negotiations, which they predicted would keep energy prices high on their way to their delusional green new deal.
I believe it was Robert Burns who said, “The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry”.
What is it about the GNDers you don’t understand? Back in the 1980s and 1990s these people were against nuclear power plants. Remember Three Mile Island in 1979? And what about the reaction to the Chernobyl disaster in 1986?
Most reactors began construction by 1974; following the Three Mile Island accident in 1979 and changing economics, many planned projects were canceled. More than 100 orders for nuclear power reactors, many already under construction, were canceled in the 1970s and 1980s, bankrupting some companies. Up until 2013, there had also been no ground-breaking on new nuclear reactors at existing power plants since 1977.
That was the time when “global warming” was all the rage and individuals disgruntled with their government flocked to anti-nuclear protests.
Build Back Better does not include a “nuclear” option.
“Up until 2013, there had also been no ground-breaking on new nuclear reactors at existing power plants since 1977.”
Having the Nuclear Regulatory Commission oversee power plants is like putting the BATFE in charge of alcohol, tobacco and firearms: the only possible outcome will be restrictions, prohibitions and inordinate taxation.
We would all be wealthier and more free if these two agencies were disbanded.
‘To promote Nuclear power plants’
I don’t believe that for an instant. The Greenies would rather nuke the world than allow one more nuclear power plant in the Anglosphere to be built.
Plus Nuclear power would provide more energy the populace. They don’t want that. They want the picture that shows up below every Resistance Day thread; First World inside, Third World outside. Eloi & Morlocks, only the Eloi have the guns and the goons willing to use them.
Germany hellbent on turning off all their nuke capabilities. We can’t possibly get anything started up this generation, those morons are. Trashing theirs. They want to hamstring economies.
Not incompetence.
Intentional destruction.
Bertdilbert, did you read this?
https://newswirenews.com/feds-rescind-license-extension-for-florida-nuclear-plant/
Besides the reversal at Turkey Point, the NRC also reversed a license extension for the Peach Bottom nuclear plant in Pennsylvania. Days after taking office in January 2021, President Joe Biden named Democrats to take over the NRC and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The agencies have been reevaluating decisions made by Republican-led panels under former President Donald Trump, including the 2019 decision on Turkey Point.
You bertdilbert are a wicked smart person!

I disagree. I believe they want to reduce the US quality of life by making personal transportation so expensive that it forces more people to buy local or use mass transit.
I could be wrong, but getting a Nuke approved to build takes a long time just to get one approved by the Feds, much less getting it finaced and built.
They have already greatly inflated the cost of fuel and new and used vehicles. Besides hurting the general economy, ruining personal finances, and general chaos, it does push forward their utopian goals of mass transit and living in compacted spaces. It always seems like for every bad thing they do they get 2 or 3 other benefits for themselves.
They want you in a city in a 200 sq ft apartment. They want you eating bugs.
Or buy online and from the huge corporate monopolies. They want yo ruin small businesses.
IMO, the people in control want to create another reason for a lockdown, marshal law . If Putin is pushed he may decide to attack the power grid. No power, no money no food–equals chaos. –results marshal law. No in person voting, even if we have elections. Banks closed, control our money. I do not think it is a coincidence that Ukraine is ramping up when the vaccine and mask mandates are going away. They are loosing their control over us.
What currencies to replace the US Dollar with ?
If a Russian /Chinese one not many would trust it.
But a new rejuvenated Euro dollar , I could buy into that.
Remember where WEF is based.
WEF is based in Switzerland, and they use the Swiss Franc.
Euro countries do massive deficit spending just like the US. Rethink that idea.
I said rejuvenated, as in a new version of the European Union in some new form.
Maybe slimmed down and in corporating new members into the fold.
It would make sense as a new superpower .
Who else to fill the void of the USA and challenge a new hegemony of a Russian /Chinese alliance.
Much can happen in a short time frame.
Bet you never saw what is occurring now a few years back.
Seems almost like a conspiracy theory , only it is fact now and in your face.
The WEF wants a global, digital currency. Existing fiat currencies (even the Swiss Franc) would be zeroed out in favor of a blockchain-based exchange medium whose relative worth is rather opaque at least to proles like me.
I used to buy what small amoumts of foreign currency I could afford and resell . . . it was sort of a hobby . . . I have a hope that someday the nations of Europe will discard the Euro and return to their own currencies.
That’s an interesting hope…however I think everything is moving quite strongly in the opposite direction. Unfortunately.
Even if you were given a 1:1 exchange, no telling what the practical value would be, with inflation and global trade bunged up.
So true. I fully expect the USD to end up with pennies’ (if more than a penny) worth under such an arrangement.
My only comfort is in knowing that, when all this comes to pass, all those IRS workers will get paid a fraction of their current salary.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you!
May want to rethink that. Past evidence shows that Gov workers never lose a paycheck & often retire much earlier than those in the public sector.
Perhaps Zimbabwe monopoly money?
Maybe Venezuelian.
Don’t forget Zamundan money.
A new digital currency.
So what exactly is the plan with the piles of government debt held by central banks that is becoming a total joke. The current Western living standard is being propped up with massive amounts of deficit spending.
WEF selling point to rich people is public/private partnerships. AKA government money directed to your pocket.
russian gold
Global digital currency. That is the goal.
More like a coded message giving the go ahead. I have zero respect for this illegitamate regime. I have no doubt this was preplanned and I have no doubt nuclear war is intended by the WEF and UN. Obama and byedone are just puppets.
If you mean nuclear “economic” war – I agree. A real nuclear conflict would likely take all them out, either immediately or within a year and I do not think that is the objective
Obama, Biden , and every Democrat. Then add the RINOs.
Remember when McCain was punked by those Russians pretending they were Ukrainians back @ 2014 or so?
The ultimate crisis paving the way to the ultimate opportunity to not let it go to waste.
Yeah, I brought up the issue of loss of reserve currency and petro-dollar status the other day (I’m no genius, others probably brought it up as well)
… but I discussed it as a possible knock-on effect during the course of events on the current track
But today, to have it explained as the primary purposeful INTENT of Barky’s fundamental-transformation crowd …
… whoa
… a bolt from the blue
Man, America’s in deep kim-chee with these Dems in power … there’ll be nothing left by 2024, even if we can get PresTrump back in
Farewell, America – it was nice knowin’ ya
They’ll get us nuked before 2024.
Patriots don’t want to be the world’s reserve currency. Think about it- in order to trade in dollars we must get our dollars to other countries. This means we must run a trade deficit. So we must shift our manufacturing abroad so we have things to buy from other countries. The Marshall Plan was the start of this nonsense and they just ramped it up over the decades.
The average American is not helped by this, only the elites gain. While an adjustment away from being the world reserve currency will hurt everyone, it’s really necessary to get our country back. It would necessarily put an end to deficit spending. Is that bad??
Do some research into the economics of it and you’ll see.
Sadly with each passing day, may are seeing how dangerously corrupt the upper echelons of the U.S.A.‘S apparatus really is.
I am thinking in this case of the whole Ukraine angle and the smearing of President Trump.
In particular female ambassador for the Ukraine and the Col Vindman( sp)
Thanks again for the insights..
Yikes!!
I’m not sad about it, I’m glad!
We need ’em to Wake Up. And if this is what it takes, bring it.
I think you probably agree w/ that Dek.
Yes I do agree!
Many are wide awake.
It’s the human tragedy I was thinking about.
Cheers!
I don’t understand that theory. Exactly who do we need to wake up and what do you think “they” will do. Very serious questions.
My question, too. Do we need more gripers and weepers to join the Treepers?
Good call Dekester.
The bad actors never seem to get in any trouble, even when there’s plenty of evidence against them.
I pretty much have said this from the beginning. ANd getting nuked would also be part of this. I honestly believe we would only use SWIFT if Russia is losing. Sounds weird, but doing that would really piss off Russia, and the nukes start flying.
Russia is being used by the Obama team.
Obama is so much smarter than we ever gave him credit for. And no one will hold him accountable.
Obama is just a front man.
There are other more malevolent characters behind the scenes pulling the strings.
Correct.
Obama just embraced the suck of The Swamp.
Thrives on the power in executing their plan.
Not a pawn, perhaps like a Rook or a Bishop in the Washingtonians game.
Obama is simply a pawn of the CIA.
The CIA are in charge and have been since they assassinated President Kennedy.
Osama is so smart without a teleprompter he can’t speak.
Osama is so smart from all those years of smoking crack and he has became smarter and smarter.
BS
This whole thing is way beyond what we see and are told but people aren’t looking in the right direction.
U.S. P-4 labs in Ukraine
9 of 11 so far have been hit while one in the western Ukraine is burning piles of documents in plain sight
17 bio weapons labs at last count, probably many more to come.
You realize Russia has a robust bioweapons program. That Putin’s love of poisoning goes way back. That the Russians have their own death vax, Sputnik?
Well, let’s assume it is “all beyond what we see”, it probably is. But the idea that Obama is a minor player is absurd. He’s gotten everything he’s wanted. And still is. He was groomed from birth to be a communist, he was mentored by communists, and he was part of CIA in the 80s.
And he gets away with it because everyone dismisses him. Just like how Putin gets away with many things because everyone thinks he’s some sort of Christian (?).
I don’t understand why we would have P-4 labs in Ukraine. Those labs are to study, design, and create bio-weapons. China has one such lab, the one that Fauci gave them.
One…. that public is aware of 😉
Buraq automatically gets a pass because he’s chestnut brown.
Affirmative Action Card.
I’d like to think you’re correct but what evidence do you have that 9 of 11 were hit?
The Soros puppeteers who pull the strings. Obozo proved to me when his teleprompter broke in the debate against Neocon Romney that he is dependent on that teleprompter for his intelligence. He is a total fraud whose image was created for him just like his fake family. After the McGreevey fraud was exposed, they switched to creating obozo
#0bamagate
You’re giving him too much credit…O is a dope smoking, ghey puppet of Soris and the elites.
The current occupant is a senile puppet of the same team…
You mean the same team that has successfully destroyed the United States, duped “stable genius” Trump into supporting Fauci and spearheading the Death Vax (WARP Speed) and just duped Putin into starting WW3? You must remember something: Soros has money. This Obama team has the power. And they’re using this power quite effectively.
Again, if these people are stupid, what is the MAGA movement? We got defeated by it!
Respect your enemy, or lose again and again.
We have to accept who our enemy is and try to THINK like them. Which is hard to wrap our brain around when the enemy is flat out evil.
Look at all the people who seem to refuse to face up to what the enemy does. Sure, some are brainwashed but far too many simply don’t want to accept it.
No, the Ozero team was GIVEN the power. Big difference. Obama is not the master puppeteer. He’s just a very willing puppet.
Stalin was a dullard. Was very effective at getting things done. Academics mean nothing. If they did, the world wouldn’t be in this mess. Henry Kissinger? He’s why China is leviathan.
Bill Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar. By your logic, Bill Clinton should be an incredible leader. Because his academic credentials are sterling.
Chuck Schumer got a perfect score on the SAT, sailed through law school.
Ted Cruz was the smartest person Alan Dershowitz ever met.
These are all subjective. Just look at the results.
😂 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪🤩 😂
Personally, I just do not think Obama is at all smart – I think he is a pothead dullard – to me, his dullness is so apparent in the way he speaks, with all of those “ums” and “ahs” and “ands” – but I have had someone right next to me listening to him on the radio during one of the John McCain funerals practically swooning over “oh, the soaring rhetoric” of [former] President Obama!
Somehow Barack H. Obama was chosen for the role he would play and he has been good at it – maybe he really believes that he IS quite brilliant.
I just don’t “feel” it.
The Cold War was extremely profitable.
But this was a CIA playground and political washing machine already.
The distraction to the lemmings will be momentary, as Putin was already handed the gas valve to Europe.
I’m betting on ineptitude on this one.
Effectively a tacit admission that they were going to pretend to do the one thing that Russia could not knowingly abide by as to intentionally provoke a worldwide crisis.
The parties behind this are exposing themselves as likely the greatest collective threats to the peace around the world in the modern era.
This bodes ill, as if there is a setup for a great peacemaker to unify the world and “save it”. Very… biblical I might add.
Yes, I believe this is all about bringing about a globalist government. Covid didn’t do it, so bring on the war. Whether Putin is in it or not is up for debate. But yes, maybe even at the last moment, a messianic figure appears to bring peace. Maybe he appears after the USA is mortally wounded, I don’t know. Per Catholic theology, he’d have to be Jewish, but he wouldn’t be like orthodox, he’d be very secular, talking about the values of humanism.
Obama gets rid of the USA, and his job is done. That was why Satan put him here.
And of course China will do their part sinking our fleet in the SC Sea and invading Taiwan.
We are in big, big trouble.
And strangely enough read what the influential evangelical pastor John Hagee said
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/pastor-hagee-the-antichri_b_104608
Hagee is a hell bound grifter. But maybe enough of a Christian to see this.
“Yes, I believe this is all about bringing about a globalist government.
Covid didn’t do it, so bring on the war.“

Breaking: Russia OUT of SWIFT
It may not matter.
“To counter U.S. and European sanctions and protect its financial security, Russia began developing an alternative to the SWIFT payment system based on a new technological platform. Earlier, in an interview with RIA Novosti, Alexander Pankin, the deputy head of Russia’s Foreign Ministry, explained that future alternatives to SWIFT would be more advanced and not dependent on being a monopoly. The emergence of such options will be “not only a reaction to the current geopolitical situation but a response to the need to modernize the existing payment methods using the top digital innovations.”
As far back as 2014, the Russian Central Bank launched its System for Transfer of Financial Messages (SPFS) that was put into operation in 2015. The principle of operation of Russia’s SPFS is kept similar to that of the worldwide payment system to reduce the concerns of Russian customers and avoid the need to change their usage habits. So far, over 400 Russian companies (mostly banks), including eight foreign banks, use this system as an alternative to SWIFT.
Russia is not alone in attempting to bypass SWIFT. Iran has already launched a homemade financial telecommunications system, known as SEPAM, to get around the U.S. unilateral sanctions imposed on the country.”
https://caspiannews.com/news-detail/russia-says-its-ready-for-disconnection-from-swift-2021-4-30-0/
Thing is, Russia is a creature of its own propaganda. They invented propaganda! 90 percent of what Russia says is a lie. Witness how their vaunted forces aren’t doing squat so far in Ukraine.
What do you expect when your leader has destroyed the entire country for his own personal enrichment?
I read they are conscripts. Why in hell puke thy need them unless their military is farce. If you see the driving capabilities on You Tube, you will know why this is not going as well as anticipated. If Trump were still in office, he would bring Putin down without firing a shot. Cut him off completely and cut the countries off who still wish to support Putin.
They forget that people don’t have to accept their system.
Breaking: Europe is now critically dependent on Russian energy.
This is the key.
Biden gave the Russians the economic leverage to clean out the Ukraine the first week of the Illegitimate Presidency.
Trump had Putin checked before then, and was attempting to remove the US washing machine from Ukraine.
One flaw in SD hypothesis Ukraine people taking up arms to defeat the Russians.
One of my former Marines has a friend on the ground in Ukraine. It’s not going well with the Russians. Conscripts, no fuel or food and rumor is two transports were shot down with 400 soldiers dead.
People taking back their counties a wonderful thing.
Kiev will be messy. All major cities are. But this conflict is essentially over.
The Ukrainian military command was blinded and decapitated in the first six hours.
The Western MSM is a comedy show now.
I don’t see how that is a flaw. The plan doesn’t care if Russia wins or loses. We will punish them either way. Plan proceeds. Full speed either way.
The left loves ‘Heads I win, Tails you lose’ gambits. Play their games by their rules, you lose.
GLobalists get their bread buttered either way.
I’ve seen snippets of this on twitter. Tracked vehicles stopped on the roads because they ran out of fuel. No food, and they have no idea where they are or where they are going.
I wish there was more reporting on this, because it appears to be a massive screw-up by the Russian military. As if they only expected at most 3-5 days of battle.
If Ukrainians were smart, they would have rolling patrols to gather these guys up. Disable the tracked vehicle and move on to the next one.
As for the Russian equipment reported as being sub-par….it’s always been mass produced crap.
Appearances can be deceiving.
When strong appear weak…Sun Tzu. The Art of War
“Quantity has a quality all it’s own.”- Lenin
Putin has no intention of fighting an insurgency. He can’t afford it nor can he remain in Kiev. Russian materiale has always been spotty. He has most of what he wanted. He’s got the Crimea and can cut the Ukraine in half for a new border. Regime change or getting Zellenskyy to the table is all he hasn’t done yet. His forces have deliberately preserved infrastructure because he wants to get out quickly and leave behind a functioning government. Ukrainians are no push overs but so far Putin had most of what he wants within three days of fighting.
Just speculating, but as the Russians fall short on food and fuel, they MIGHT just decide to impose the same problems on Ukrainians who consume a MULTIPLE of what the Russian invaders do.
Then there’s Russia’s next-level ability to take down the Ukrainian Power Grid along with the Generation Plants and Refineries that feed it.
People taking back their countries is a wonderful thing.
We should follow their example before the biden administration gets us nuked.
Watch the top one 1st.
Oops but hey, he had his index finger appropriately placed….
Great catch!
There are privates in every army.
“Biden has been installed as a disposable figurehead allowing them to operate a policy agenda without any concern for political damage.”
This is an important point that warrants emphasis. It is a variant of Alinsky personalization strategy. People who are being hurt will look for someone responsible at which to be righteously angry, and they will keep looking until they (think they) find them. One of Biden’s primary jobs is to be a focus for emotional discontent and anger, so that those who are angry don’t keep looking for the actual evil architects. Biden certainly is a meat puppet fool deserving of great contempt, but he is not the architect of the war being waged against European peoples.
According to Clarence Thomas’s wife Ginny, George Soros is the main puppeteer of the Democrat party. I have seen other sources that backs up her claim. But he is not the Wizard behind the curtain. He’s following orders just like war criminal Kissinger was who mentored satan Klaus the satanic Bolshevik lover.
Per Zerohedge, US and EU meeting to disconnect certain Russian banks from the SWIFT system. No specific banks named.
Mike has a comment earlier in the thread about Russia already having it’s own system.
So what is Zelenskyy? Good guy? Bad guy? Or just some guy who got stabbed in the back? 🤔
depends on how the Enemedia (ty Judith) treats him. if they hate him, he’s good, if they like him, he’s bad. I’ve been using that formula (with common sense) since I was a teen and found out how things really work, and have had a very high success rate with it.
I would suggest our State Dept wanted Zelendky out of power so they goaded Russia to attack. They offered Zelensky transport out but he foiled then and stayed. Now Putin has stalled out due to lack of food, gas and ammunition since this was all going to be over in three days. Now we will watch our State Dept try to pretend innocence while projecting the blame
Didn’t we install Zelensky after fomenting a coup on Poroshenko?
.
He’s an actor who speaks well and has ties to our charmed people and the entertainment industry. It is unknown what his motives are but I suspect that he’s inexperienced enough in politics and business to be able to be manipulated.
I think zelensky might just be stuck like Chuck. He’s been kept out of the loop and taken advantage of 🤷🏼♀️
He’s going to die. Russia hates him, and his handlers in the west have decided he has expended his usefulness. We have evil fighting evil over profit and power.
This, I’m afraid, is the truth.
He is a comedian, that got elected to be President, and certain people don’t like that because he knows too much. So he is probably a good guy, and he probably will get stabbed in the back, or at least shoot himself in the back of the head.
Twice.
I don’t think there’s a good guy in this situation at all, not Russia, not Ukraine, not US.
good guy!
Zelensky is Biden. He is an actor/comedian, he likes the spotlight. He isn’t a bad person. Just a pawn who has outlived his utility. He will be killed.
I have been thinking this looked VERY much like when , before Gulf War 1 , Bush-cons told Saddam we would not be bothered if he took Kuwait. When he did , the wag-the-dog PR machine went into overdrive, telling the world about Kuwait babies left on cold hospital floors ….. ( SOB ! ) …. while the bad old Iraqis took the incubators as ‘ war booty ‘.
Stuff rhymes.
which gives me the opportunity to bring up the fact that pappa Bush and the enemedia told us that Saddaam was Hitler, was evil incarnate blah blah blah, and than left him in power. They did similar to Milosevic, who was quietly exonerated after he died
Exclusive: CIA Files Prove America Helped Saddam as He Gassed IranThe U.S. knew Hussein was launching some of the worst chemical attacks in history — and still gave him a hand.

and now we find theres 10-15 bioweapon labs in Ukraine
more rhymes
during that conflict 1981-8 we were supplying BOTH sides with satellite information on troop deployment
The Iranians & Iraqi’s killing each other was what the Globalists wanted. Evil incarnate. I’m not a fan of the Mullah’s, but I do think many Americans do not understand how many Iranians have been murdered by the CIA/State Dept
Amen. Milosevic Vjecnaja Pamjat.
Steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world (now remembered as avoid foreign entanglements) – George Washington
Humanity reached its intellectual, political and moral peak with the American Founding Fathers. Does any true conservative disagree with this statement?
Hegelian goofballs like Obama think humanity just sails onward and upward. The Holocaust? A bump in the road to leftist utopia.
The one true revolution in human history was the American Revolution. Most revolutions since have been counter-revolutions, trying to reverse the path to human freedom begun by the Founding Fathers.
The Holy Bible, the Constitution and maybe the Federalist Papers. Humanity has all it needs right there to move forward (truly forward) morally and politically.
Avoid foreign entanglements.
Don’t omit the Declaration of Independence, our foundation.
Ever since the 2020 election was stolen, there’s been no doubt that the intent of the Kenyan’s globalist puppet masters was to destroy America. There’s very little they haven’t done to further that objective. Prompting Russia to invade Ukraine is a no-brainer if you ultimately want the entire world to lose all faith in the US. Following the intentional disaster in Afghanistan, longtime allies have to be scared to death. South Korea, Japan, etc have to be in a total panic. The genius of the evil WEF crowd to destroy that which others built is evident in everything that is crashing in the West.
“The question then becomes why? Why would the people in/around Biden want to provoke Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine?”
Because, evil … Satan comes to kill, steal and destroy.
Anyone who would provoke a war knows full well the death, carnage and destruction that comes from war. They are evil.
.
That’s too simplistic. If you want to have any hope of countering, thwarting someone’s adverse position, you need to actually understand their rationale from their point of view.
Perhaps it is simplistic, I view this as a good place to be. Plus, it defines them.
This reminds of the Leftist Trump collusion with Russia stuff. All you have to do is connect the dots to see how Trump conspired with Russia to screw everyone over. Just replace Trump with Biden and Russia with China. Connections everywhere!
The Investigation of the Burisma/Biden Taxpayer dollar skimming operation is now completely dealt with.
No worries.
Thanks Vlad.
Misdirection is likely but I’d take a more Occam’s Razor perspective where the real intent is:
(1) to transfer the exploding anger about rampant inflation, economic malaise, CRT, and Covidian Madness brewing at home to sympathy for Ukraine.
(2) this pulls the plug on available evidence in Ukraine that Durham (or a Republican House) could use to expose the Oballah/Soros ‘color revolution’ corruption used in Ukraine
The left always runs multiple gambits. Some in parallel some in series.
And hurting you while blaming others is leftism 101.
President Truman created the CIA. But in the 1970s, he told his biographer, Merle Miller:
I think [creation of the CIA] was a mistake. And if I’d known what was going to happen, I never would have done it.
Why, they’ve got an organization over there in Virginia now that is practically the equal of the Pentagon in many ways. And I think I’ve told you, one Pentagon is one too many.
Now, as nearly as I can make out, those fellows in the CIA don’t just report on wars and the like, they go out and make their own, and there’s nobody to keep track of what they’re up to. They spend billions of dollars on stirring up trouble so they’ll have something to report on. They’ve become … it’s become a government all of its own and all secret. They don’t have to account to anybody.
China was also lost to Communism on Truman’s watch.
Then nearly half of Korea.
…because the Dimm/commies cut funding to the Nationalists in 1949 after giving their assurances in 1946 they would stand behind them…same thing they did to S Vietnam in 1973
Ask Pompeo: He RAN it.
The Director of the CIA is not really the chief operator of the CIA so I’ve read.
Kind of like Bill Barr was AG but wasn’t the guy controlling the DOJ as the department has been stocked with leftists and is so large.
What’s our gameplan? Are we going to be suckered into destruction by these 30-something dimwits?Every single one of these treasonous BAGS OF PUS working for this Great Reset garbage and behind The Green Curtain need to fear the American people. They need to see hear and feel what we can do when we understand that to them, we do not matter.
The B-tards need to be exceedingly sorry for what they’re doing. And if we can’t make them sorry then what is our next choice? And we better mean it.
In my opinion, that’s not the reason they wanted Russia to invade. The reason they wanted Russia to invade was because they could no longer control the Zelensky government.
.
Would you kindly give me the sources/facts indicating that “they could no longer control the Zelensky government”.
.
In my opinion, “In my opinion” is reasonable way to express ones opinion.
.
Prefacing a statement of fact with the words “in my opinion” does not change the statement of fact into an “opinion”.
Bush 2 started the NATOization of Ukraine drive, bullying the euro’s to go along. Obama played his Uniparty part and we had Crimea, which should have been a warning. They didn’t stop though, and here we are. Biden is just doing Uniparty bidding, and it isn’t a sudden 3 months ago thing. They’ve been expanding NATO east for 30 years.
I wouldn’t get too excited over this, it’s what they’ve been doing all along. Sure, we need to change course, but since so many even here “support Ukraine” as Faux News instructs them, change will be slow. Maybe we do need the petrodollar to collapse so we can get control of our government back from these monsters.
I’m pondering how long will it be that Zelensky is whacked by the elites to keep him quiet, then blame it on the Russians?
yepIm thinking the See eye aye will be doing the deed
Freaking weasel
Brilliant. Just brilliant.
So instead of people who had the goods on the DC Cartel committing suicide to hide the truth they decided to destroy a Nation to get rid of the evidence?
So you – the Deep State – know that you’re going to get wiped out in a historic election in Fall of 2022. You are unwilling to give up power and be rooted out by Congressional investigations, etc. What do you do?
Cyber attack during the primary allows you to invoke emergency powers and “postpone” the election.
Interesting theory … but I believe Putin is smarter than that. He did not survive all these years at the top of a communist heap by falling for the enemy’s ploys.
.
Maybe he didn’t fall for it. Maybe it suited his purposes too.
Putin doesn’t have a stake in the interests of the United States.
He certainly had a good time trolling the dates of his “invasion”.
“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.”
I’m not sure “the great reset” is what’s behind this Ukraine event because the” great reset” depends on controlling US politics and controlling US politics means winning elections.
More specifically, for the great rest to progress, democrats need to win elections and control both houses. As it stands now, because biden is not popular, their is a strong likelihood that may not happen after the November election.
The Ukraine affair needs to improve biden voter popularity and the way it’s going that is not, by any means, a sure thing.
All this is to say, both biden popularity and the great reset would have been a lot better off if the Russians had not gone into Ukraine.
That’s why it does not make sense to me that biden, risking unpopularity, provoked the Russian attack, in effect losing both houses in November.
I am also not convinced the great reset is composed of a bunch of like minded people, all marching in lock step. There are significant internal dislocations, shall we call it, among that group, at least that’s the way I see it so far.
The great reset relies on destruction of countries.
The whole scenario sounds so utterly STUPID that it’s difficult to seriously consider. Did Biden offer NATO membership to Ukraine? Where does that information come from? Would anyone allow Biden to make a blunder like that, seriously?
Stuggle with comprehension?

The art of the understatement.
Biden has trouble choosing which flavor ice cream he should have before bedtime. Biden offered nothing.
The Deep State is who is driving this clown car.
.
“Biden” is shorthand for the powerbrokers and sycophants actually conniving his policies.
.
Do you work for the DOJ? Or is this really AOC?
The kickbacks from the jabs are dwindling so it’s back to laundering money in Ukraine thru the NGO’s.
Didn’t biteme just ask for 6.8 billion?
That’s a good start.
Kinda pales in comparison to the $85 Billion of equipment Biden donated to Taliban Terrorists.
Followed by the release of $ Billions in frozen bank assets
… designed to cover the 10% for the “Big Guy”.
FJB, LGB!
after learning this
I would be willing to bet at the same time
they are baiting China to take over Tiawan
any takers?
Is this how Sean Penn knew back in December Russia was going to invade Ukraine so he could provide his documentary coverage??
October 20, 2011:
the assassination of American ally, Muammar Ghaddafi in Libya
September 11, 2012:
Four Americans died at Benghazi
US Ambassador US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens; USFS officer Sean Smith; CIA contractors Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty
As far as I am concerned, the U. S. State Department has zero credibility –
also, former President George W. Bush has zero credibility and now he is chiming in on the war drums for Ukraine –
President Bush, it was under YOUR watch that Muammar Ghaddafi made the decision to be an ally of the United States of America but you had nothing to say about his assassination?
You own father’s manufactured war, the Persian Gulf War, was “triggered” by the Invasion of Kuwait . . . but Saddam was enabled by your father to have the weapons he needed for that invasion.
So really, I don’t even know why you think this is a good thing for us to get involved in, worrying about Ukraine’s borders when our own borders are not being defended and launching a new war when Afghanistan was a tragedy and we don’t even know what happened to Americans left behind.
Libya was on the Hit list of countries to be bombed or invaded because of the 9/11 treason. Ghadafi said he was fighting Islamic fundamentists. Islamic Fundamentalists are one of the merc terrorists used by the US/NATO courtesy of saudi arabia & the CIA traitors (whose prayer mat head called our president a traitor on the Russian collusion lie. He should have been jailed already)
Thank you Susan
What appears to be inimical intent could at the very best be actual, irreducible stupidity and incompetence.
If the former is the case, the evil warmongering and crisis brushfiring by the Clinton/Bush/Obama/Biden team are worse than we thought it was before this revelation.
If the latter obtains, this is what…the 77th threshold for impeachment grounds of the kind that was used against PDJT? These people need to be fired and locked up in Leavenworth for the rest of their miserable lives.
If you already know the destination the NWO / WEF club has in mind events make sense.
Sanctions were put in place , but not SWIFT. Now everyone demands SWIFT cut Russia off . This propels a further Russia / China alliance …. perhaps a creation of a new monetary unit and the death of King Dollar.
( Just exactly what the ” Great Reset ” criminal gang wants )
And here it is in 5-4-3-2-1
Biden and EU use ‘financial nuclear option’ and REMOVES Russian banks from SWIFT network: Imposes restrictions on Russian Central Bank as they tighten financial sanctions on Moscow over Ukraine
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10555745/The-allies-promise-remove-Russian-banks-SWIFT-network.html
This explains how the SWIFT system works.
https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/050515/how-swift-system-works.asp
… and in other news, Germans burn banknotes to stay warm.
As I commented below – this is being somewhat mis-reported (surprise). It’s to apply to “selected” banks which have not been named, and does not include the central bank.
The net effect of cutting all banks off would be to disallow energy payments, resulting in the spigot getting turned off to Europe – and I am sure that situation was carefully avoided, for now. Unless they are truly complete morons.
In other words, blame Milley.
Russia was kicked off SWIFT today

“Selected” banks – and doesn’t include the Central Bank…..
Names, who are the traitors?
start with 535 in Congress and go from there
You forget the 50 in the Senate or is it 51? 🤔
Yep, I could easily believe that Russia was intentionally goaded into what could end up being a really serious quagmire for them.
If so, I’m sure it will end up flawlessly with the desired result, just like all of the other brilliant State Department adventures post-WWII. /s
My question is “why NYT” was directed of letting know Americans of the cabal rat plan? How do they want Americans to react to this? Hate more Russia+Putin+ and all Russian???? As in China is our friend?
“However, when it comes to these types of issues, never ascribe to incompetence that which can be explained by intent.”
But don’t rule out incompetence.
One question: If Obama and cronies are so intent on destroying the USA, why has Obama sunk millions into huge estates in Massachusetts and Hawaii? Is he planning on hosting parties for PLA invasion/occupation officers in his environment-destroying villa in Waimanalo?
.
Owning land is not necessarily dependent upon whether the United States is a viable world power. Plenty of perfumed people own land in third-world nations. (Bill Gates is buying up reams of farmland…)
He wants to serve up more hot dogs and pizza
IMO China is running the White House.
Might as well just say it out loud.
It sure isn’t the most popular president in US history. Lol
He’s sucking the life out of this country. I doublechecked to make sure I could see Biden’s reflection.
soros, blinken, garland, axelrod, nuland lerner, plouffe, shumer,nadler, schiff, weisman sussman elias rosenstein etel are not Chinese. And they are the ones driving this schiff show
A lot of noticing there buddy
You mean they take no Chinese money or sleep with PLA members ?
Just like Christopher Wray going after PDJT for Russian connections yet Wray has pocketed millions representing Russian thru his firm.
