A fantastic piece by Peter Beinart on substack {SEE HERE} puts excellent clarity on the people around Joe Biden baiting Russian President Vladimir Putin to enter Ukraine.
Current CIA Director William “Bill” Burns was the former ambassador to Russia and Jordan. Bill Burns had a 33-year career at the State Department under both Republican and Democratic presidents and speaks fluent Russian. If the people in the background of Joe Biden wanted an intelligence operative to trigger a specific result from Russia, there’s no one more strategically perfect for the job than CIA Director Bill Burns.
The article by Beinart is mainly focused on pointing out the irreconcilable nature of Joe Biden implying Ukraine could join NATO, while his own CIA Director has a history of giving serious warnings emphasizing the “brightest of all red lines” about that specific point.
[…] “Two years ago, Burns wrote a memoir entitled, The Back Channel. It directly contradicts the argument being proffered by the administration he now serves. In his book, Burns says over and over that Russians of all ideological stripes—not just Putin—loathed and feared NATO expansion. He quotes a memo he wrote while serving as counselor for political affairs at the US embassy in Moscow in 1995. ‘Hostility to early NATO expansion,” it declares, “is almost universally felt across the domestic political spectrum here.”
On the question of extending NATO membership to Ukraine, Burns’ warnings about the breadth of Russian opposition are even more emphatic. “Ukrainian entry into NATO is the brightest of all redlines for the Russian elite (not just Putin),” he wrote in a 2008 memo to then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. “In more than two and a half years of conversations with key Russian players, from knuckle-draggers in the dark recesses of the Kremlin to Putin’s sharpest liberal critics, I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests.” (read more)
Against this backdrop of Bill Burns, the details about the lead up to the Russia-Ukraine crisis gain quite a bit of clarity.
The CIA Director is crystal clear that Russia would be seriously triggered about any prospect of Ukraine entering NATO.
Yet, in December of 2021, the exact same time when U.S. backchannel intelligence was being shared with China about Russian troop movements on the border with Ukraine, Joe Biden was telling Ukraine that membership in NATO was in their hands.
“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. (link)
Joe Biden was publicly saying something his CIA Director knew to a certainty would trigger Russian President Vladimir Putin.
This is not a mistake.
This is not a strategic blunder or internal messaging error.
This level of provocation now seems completely purposeful.
As noted by ABC during the announcement of Bill Burns as a nominee for CIA Director:
Burns called intelligence the first line of defense for the country and the basis for making sound policy decisions. He also said he would deliver the intelligence to Biden and policymakers “without a hint of partisanship.”
Burns is perhaps an unconventional choice for the CIA job that many thought would go to a career intelligence officer.
However, he is also deeply experienced in the kind of cloak-and-dagger secret contacts that is a hallmark of the agency and won plaudits for his analysis and reporting abilities while he served as an American diplomat overseas. Burns was the author of some of the most insightful State Department cables that were published by Wikileaks in 2010 and is widely respected throughout the national security community. (read more)
If the U.S. was simultaneously influencing Ukraine military to keep targeting the breakaway regions in Eastern Ukraine, well, put it all together and a picture emerges of the people in/around the White House setting up a scenario for months that led up to Russia finally taking the bait and going into Ukraine.
The New York Times expose’ of U.S. intelligence contacting China should be reviewed from the perspective that U.S. intelligence and State Dept operatives were planting information into China – knowing it would be shared with Russia. The U.S. intelligence apparatus, with CIA Director Bill Burns in place, was seeding information into Russia via China for three months prior to the triggering point. Bill Burns would know exactly what type of intelligence would be needed to create maximum anxiety for Vladimir Putin.
WHY?
The Biden team was getting pummeled for negative economic outcomes, massive inflation, skyrocketing energy costs and gas prices set to double. Support for the administration was/is collapsing as the policy outcomes of the administration were felt.
Within the book of instructions for the ideological crew, the Alinsky people behind Biden, there are chapters on how to create off-ramps to cloud their agenda.
If they need a bigger cloud, they create a crisis. The crisis then becomes the cover, the justification to explain the outcomes of their agenda.
As we have witnessed, the White House is shifting blame for the collapsing economy, surging oil prices, massive gas price increases and overall U.S. inflation.
The manufactured crisis in Ukraine then takes on a geopolitical angle and a domestic angle. The rate of inflation, rising oil and gas prices, are now being blamed on Russia-Ukraine.
It is not coincidental that ABC (think George Stephanopolous) took the lead in helping to push this narrative as a cover story for the problems in the economy that are specifically driven by U.S. energy policy (chasing Green New Deal objectives), environmental policy, regulatory policy and massive spending.
The politics of policy are to blame for inflation, so it is the deployment of politics again used to create the cover. WATCH:
The manufactured Russia-Ukraine crisis now becomes the cover story for why the U.S. economy is collapsing. The pain being felt by middle class, blue-collar workers is now shifted to be an outcome of geopolitical events that are Vladimir Putin’s fault. It’s always someone else’s fault.
Do not underestimate how many people in the U.S. will buy into this nonsense, and keep in mind the Republican wing of the UniParty has a vested interest in allowing the narrative to embed in the psyche of voters. Both wings of the DC vulture will help promote this fraud, just as both wings of the DC uniparty sold out our Main Street economy on behalf of their multinational benefactors.
The ruse of the European crisis around Russia-Ukraine also helps the manipulative ideologues in the World Economic Forum (WEF), World Bank (WB), International Monetary Fund (IMF) and central banking system create a deflection of the bigger economic crisis created by their COVID agenda and the Great Reset.
The influence agents and multinationals, those who direct the politicians on what policies to execute on a domestic and geopolitical scale, benefit from these obfuscations and false narratives.
The amount of money the multinationals have taken from the economy into their centralized (and sometimes personal) control is obscured by the deployment of these distractions.
Q What should Americans be braced for? What could they possibly be facing? The President has already said Americans will be facing some economic fallout or some hardships. Can you explain to Americans what exactly will they face if this happened?
KAMALA HARRIS: Sure. As the President talked about in his speech, we are aware that, again, when America stands for her principles and all of the things that we hold dear, it requires sometimes for us to put ourselves out there in a way that maybe we will incur some cost. And in this situation, that may relate to energy costs, for example. But we are taking very specific and appropriate, I believe, steps to mitigate what that cost might be if it happens. (LINK)
The economic consequences from climate change policy were always considered the biggest hurdle by the Davos elite.
The economic and financial pain that would be felt by the working class folks, would need to be managed. This is the reason why false justifications for economic pain are collectively pushed by media. The media do not need to be told what to do, they already know the larger goal is pretending not to know things.
As a result, the domestic political elites are managing the pitchforks by distracting voters about the cause. If you do not buy into their obtuse justifications, well, you then become a target – ergo, a conspiracy theorist.
Climate change policy is a tool – a means to an end.
COVID-19 policy is a tool – a means to an end.
Behind all the layers of obfuscation, you find all the individual roadmaps converge onto a single path that leads to centralized control.
…. Because they wanted it to happen.

A friend in the #Netherlands tells me: He had several Ukrainian handymen doing renovations in his house. The other day, they apologized to him, left all their tools, & headed back to #Ukraine to defend their country from #Russia. This is what military analysis couldn’t predict.
Why would they leave their tools? Why not give them to friends or donate them? Seriously, all these “feel good stories” have holes so big a Trucker could drive through them.
Like the Dancing with Stars dancer who fled Ukraine after being arrested. Who arrested him? The Ukrainians or the Russians?
Why doesn’t anyone ask questions?
Strong character would of course leave the tools to benefit completion of the work they abandoned. You honor the man you made an agreement with and benefit him, not a stranger. They did donate the tools. To the only person who deserved them, who gave the men a job. There’s a war, they won’t be carpenters any longer. Geesh.
the bots and fake news memes are in full swing
this is what we have become
a fake news empire of lies
Your desire to ascribe a “wholesome” motive to those folks is admirable. Probably naive, and foolish, but admirable. You don’t know their motive(s).
I wondered that myself .. I dont watch that show, but it wasnt clear at all why he was arrested, or by which side. Its falling apart pretty fast when us female armchair generals in Seattle can see the holes in the story.
Don’t believe that for a minute.
Nice story though.
Tools are on the short list to grab.
Why wouldn’t they take them to rebuild?
Exactly! Tools are & will be extremely valuable. No-one just leaves them. Even for “admirable” reasons.
Hmmm… Perhaps the tools weren’t really theirs to begin with???
Corruption seems to be first nature of the Ukraine government. “Let’s bribe ’em!”
It’s a shame both sides can’t lose. Or maybe that’s exactly what’s happening?
So the guy is standing on a sidewalk singing to himself
in the empty streets of some city being bored to death?
Are you a Ukrainian cheerleader???
Just askin.
The CIA and Soros funded NGOs have plenty of useful idiots in Russia.
You’re assuming McConnell and Graham’s desire to act in the best interests of America outweigh their greed. Sadly, that is not the case and never has been.
Allowing and even participating in the corruption of the left offer traitors like those two the opportunity to further pad their pockets. Hindering the left’s corruption takes money out of their pockets.
I’ve been thinking about this from a wider distance lately. In the past, I never even heard of Ukraine (or the corruption) until Ukraine was used against Trump, the Biden crime family, money laundering, etc over the past couple of years .
However,there was a sense that American presidents were more favorable towards Russia (especially Bush, Hillary (remember the reset), Obama, and then Trump . It was clear they were trying to get Russia to align with the west and not China.
However, something happened around the beginning of Obama’s second term. That is when Putin/Russia were demonized and the Dems made the effort to isolate Russia and turn Americans against Russia (Alynsky type strategy).
Don’t get me wrong. I know Putin is not a good guy, never was.
But something happened during the Obama years that changed America’s strategy. Trump was definitely trying to reverse it and go back to prior strategy.
Was it related to,
1) Putin/Russia’s anti globalism/ climate change/ banking cartels?
2). Putin embracing his country’s flip to their Orthodox faith where policy was influenced by religion?
3). Or ?????
What happened during the Obama years that changed everything?
Putin shifted away from the US. That is why he sent Hillary out with her “reset” button. Putin simply didn’t see the green agenda and globalism they were pushing as being advantageous to his own goals. When the globalists realized Putin was playing them, they turned on him. See Syria. Once they knew Putin couldn’t really be bought or bullied, he then became an easy target to use for their own political games against Trump.
None of this excuses Putin of anything, he’s still an evil man with sociopathic tendencies. But he’s not a madman and all do this was predictable for people who have common sense and pay attention.
How about something simple….as politicians and IC are typically not great “long ball” thinkers.
Russia became the big bad not under Obama till Trump came along…if memory serves. Wasn’t it Obama making fun of Romney when Mittens claimed Russia was our real adversary? That was in 2012.
China has bought the Democrats and the Uni-Party writ large for years. They were deeply wedded to dirt bags in DC. They could not be the bogey man in the character assassination of Trump. So Russia…who also engages in cyber warfare seemed to be the most expedient fall guy.
We are looking at a created war in Ukraine to distract Americans from Brandon’s and his party’s failures.
Just like Kung Flu became the big bad as an excuse to cheat in the 2020 election and hold onto power.
Perhaps the “pizza and hotdog” party. Putin may not be a great guy; but he seems to despise pedophiles…..
He stopped allowing the USA from adopting Russian children sometime in that timeframe as well.
Putin is not supportive of the NWO or Soros. period. I also suspect he is not a team player and possibly is the only voice in the room. Can you name his successor? There was Obama’s 2014 coup of the Ukrainian government. Biden was the face who officiated the coup. Obama – Biden outsted the elected Ukranian President, forced him into exile and installed Zelensky. One of Obamas several coups paid for by the American public; Egypt, Libya,Syria (failed), etc.
Zelensky is not the hero of Ukraine whom Biden treats as if he were a legitimate, bonafide elected president. Zelensky knows full well how he became president. He was bought and paid for. He received unreasonable amounts of US dollars of “support”. He works for Obama – Biden; appointed a NWO cabinet. Just as Obama did and Biden is. Ukrainian Government is not elected.
We know from Hunter Biden’s lap top and the video clip of Biden’s snide bragging about ordering the Ukrainean president around (which Trump played during the 2020 campaign) that Zelensky, once installed by Obama, hired Hunter Biden who doesn’t speak Ukrainian, assumably so Obama – Biden could control and watch Zelensky and of course carry on business and politics without texts, emails, or recorded calls. Obama – Biden used Zelensky to launder hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Whatever MSM conjectures about Zelensky be keenly aware, he was NOT elected. Ukraine is not a Democracy. The elected president has been in exile since 2014 until a photo appeared over last weekend of him back in his beloved Ukraine, 8 years older, to support his country. Soros wants Putin overthrown. Putin is anti Soros and his Great Society, Green New Deal, NWO, and American Puppet President.
There’s also this which surfaced yesterday 2-27-22 ; more then a dozen Bioweapon research Labs under Fauci were set up and are operating in Ukraine. Not connected to China. Connected to Dr. Anthony Fauci. Financed by you. Is this a reason for overthrowing the government and installing Zelensky? To be used against Russia? Did Putin Know?
Evidence:
https://strangesounds.org/2022/02/us-embassy-just-removed-all-their-ukraine-bioweapon-lab-documents-from-the-website-here-they-are.html
Poroshenko was installed by Team Obama. He is the guy that fired prosecutor Shokin.
Zelensky was the newly elected president when he and Trump had the perfect phone call
I would NOT assume Putin is not in with the NWO… There’s plenty of evidence that points in the opposite direction. Take, for example, Putin’s being one of Klaus Schwab’s/World Economic Forum’s “Young Global Leaders”… And, that Putin has mandated the jab for his people. Do either of those point DEFINITIVELY to his NOT being in w/ the NWO??? Nope.
Keep in mind, Russia has no debt and also does not have a Rothschild bank within its borders. They now have an agrement with China to use a system to bypass the Petro dollar to which using US dollars for trading commodities is no longer needed. The west simply can not have that. Look what happened to Libya when Gaddafi did the same thing when trying to trade Gold for Oil sales. Except now its Russia and China, and there isn’t a thing the West can do but create another war. Stick a fork in it as the US dollar as being the worlds reserve currency is finished!
Stick a fork in the country, too. We become Venezuela if the dollar loses its status. No doubt part of the Great Reset plan.
ABSOLUTELY part of the Great Reset. How else can they “convince” enough of us to become willing slaves in their New World Order, except to collapse the economy AND the $US???
Because of the U.S. $ status the people of the U.S. have absolutely no control over anything in the U.S. California, New York, Washington, Oregon want to destroy their economies with lockdowns, etc., etc. we say fine! Go broke! But they never go broke because Washington can just print more money and send it to them. We never have to have a balanced budget because Washington will just print more money. You can keep people locked in their houses and out of their jobs for two years…okay… Washington will just print more money and send it to them. This has got to stop. One way or another.
Putin and Iran stopped the Obama nonsense in Syria. Years in the making thwarted quickly by Putin.
Putin is white and has men be men and women be women.
Religion is strong in Russia.
Putin and oligarchs have gained financially and many are jealous and/or want a piece of the action/ power.
Russia is more combative to World Order than other countries.
I believe that should help you to understand what has changed.
What do you do if you know you are being goaded into war, but that red line was crossed?
I just hope this ends fast without it morphing from a proxy war to a world war .
There should be a special place in hell for traitors to the human race like those in the Biden administration.
Biden’s CIA Pick, William Burns, Leads A Think Tank With Close Ties To China-The Daily Caller
China also benefits from a weakened Russia. By Biden telling Ukraine the same thing about NATO membership, Russia’s spies would have heard them talking about it, too, thus giving the planted lie credence.
I’m wondering if this wasn’t a Chinese Op using America rather than a US Op using China.
After all, our Occupation Government works for China, not vice versa.
Yes O’Biden does work for the Chi Cons and a whole lot of RINOS work for them too.
Didn’t know about Burns, but I have entertained theories about China’s hand. They sure would like to expand to their north.
They enabled Putin and then they provoked him. They empowered an evil sociopath so they could win the Midterms. I don’t know whose worse, the US government or Putin.
“I don’t know who’s worse, the US government or Putin?” – Deb
Oh, that’s an easy one. Democrats are much worse.
Let me correct you – THE UNIPARTY.
I keep hearing the denigration of Putin, eg., “evil sociopath” but having heard all that constantly flung at DJT, I am increasingly skeptical.
Putin said that communism is “a blind alley” which probably did not endear him to the CCP and the idiots under contract to the CCP.
Well I know Putin doesn’t pretend to be anyone he isn’t…
SD – you make perfect sense.
It boggles the mind that somehow “devolution” has ocurred… i just think its nonsense… just as I have come to find other ideas nonsense, unfortunately.
However, my faith in the LORD is not shaken. He said deception would abound in the last days and we should take heed that we not be deceived.
Thanks, SD, for trying to clear the fog.
On a side note, it is strange that there has not been a press conference by the head of the Ukrainian or Russian Orthodox Church despite the increased influence they seem to have had since 1991 (and with the creation of the independent Ukrainian Church just a few years ago). Yet, the Pope, last week made the unprecedented trip out of the Vatican down to the Russian embassy in Rome to plead peace. In ever live camera shot of Kiev, they show the gilded domes of the historical churches in the background. Of course, unlike the modern Vatican and their moral involvement in major foreign issues like St. J.P II with Poland’s freedom against the Soviets, the Russian orthodox clergy traditionally were not that powerful. Many clergy were executed and gulag’d by Lenin and Stalin. American businessman had to save the Danilov Monastery carrilion bells from being melted down for scrap by the Bolshies (and were installed in Lowell House dorm at Harvard until a few years ago when the monks cast new bells to be given to Harvard for the ancient bells). Although Putin purports to be a devout Christian (and who pushed forth for the rebuilding of the Savior church on the site of the original one demolished by Stalin), I doubt his sincerity.
The current “Pope” is a heretic, and all-in for the New World Order. He’s counting on Catholicism as playing a big role in the One World Religion. He might even fancy himself the “leader” of that OWR. Therefore, anything & everything he says & does should be questioned in every possible manner. His “trip” down the street to the Russian embassy in Rome was likely all for show, to attempt to fool the many, too many, that still believe in his goodness that his interests are in doing the right thing.
It would appear that COVID tyranny was too well resisted by the masses and so another path to destruction must be implemented.
Lies and deceptions filtered thru the MSM and TV are still immediately believed, whereas the truth and proof takes a long time because it takes time to find the truth, prove it and get it disseminated thru non-MSM sites. Just about every major political-military event since JFK has followed the same pattern; careful planning of the hoax, execution of the plan, thick and same-phrase news coverage, on to greener pastures.
I have no idea what the truth is with the whole Ukraine mess. My first assumption when I see anything reported by the media is that it is a lie. That assumption has served me well. I’m sticking with it. If they are saying now that Putin is on the ropes, the safe bet is that he is not.
Regardless of whether Putin was “baited” into an invasion or not, I don’t see him attacking Ukraine unless he was confident that Russia would benefit from it. His desire to seize control of eastern Ukraine to create a bridge to Crimea makes sense strategically. I think he would have done it whether we provoked him or not. My bet is he aims to keep it. I’d also bet that he will.
Time will tell.
Incidental information has been building for years, but no clear goal had surfaced re plans for a Neo-communist power play UNTIL covid-19 provided stronger outlines. In these past two years thousands of independent journalists and citizen bloggers have pieced together a coherent plan to subjugate the world’s major nations to arbitrary authoritarian rule, thus abrogating entirely human and constitutional rights in all these nations, and at the same time.
Viewed in this perspective, the issue of Eastern Europe and its relationship to the Neo-Communist New World Order now looms very large. The problem for NCNWO is that most of these Eastern European nations are not woke, for they are beyond tired of such centralized power structures and rigid ideologies.
Without the Baltic and the Balkan regions in the woke category, the success of the Neo-Communist New World Order is highly doubtful.
The United States and Canada, two of the most important and powerful democracies in the world are near a precipice. Neo-communist insiders likely feel it is only a matter of time before they fall COMPLETELY AND IRREVOCABLY. However, the Baltic and Balkan regions cannot be allowed to be renegades for NCNWO to succeed . Thus, we are now seeing this dynamic play out in real time, the plan being: subjugate most of Eastern Europe, and then watch Russia fold to the Neo-communists.
Very interesting thoughts! And, they make a LOT of sense.
Based on what I’ve learned these last 2 years or so since the Plandemic was announced – the USA government (at all levels) is without a doubt in my mind filled with the most corrupt, evil, puss-filled “people” on the planet… How to pull her back from the brink is truly beyond man’s imaginings… I believe only God can do it, and it will take quite a mighty miracle, if it can be done at all. But, as with anything, WE have to believe and act on what we know first. That’s how miracles work – believe then act on your believing, then the miracle(s) happen. KEEP GOING. STAND STRONG. HOLD THE LINE.
The first casualty of war is . . .
Is Zelenskyy still even in Kyiv? Numerous pics of him wearing military garb on 2/24/22
are actually from him inspecting the border on 4/9/21.
The pic of an old woman with a bloody face and bandaged head?
It’s from Magnitogorsk, 2018.
The viral clip of Ukrainian men saying goodbye…Real?
No, it’s from “The War of Chimeras” a 2017 Docudrama.
The viral pic of a girl in a pink jacket standing next to a boy saluting men on a Ukrainian tank is from 2/25/22?
No, it was a picture from 3/23/16.
The “tank” that ran over some old man’s car
was a Ukrainian vehicle and it was an accident.
Ghost Of Kyiv’ Fighter Pilot Blowing Up Russian Aircraft in a trending clip
It’s actually from a Video Game.
The Snake Island Martyrs incident didn’t happen
Russian sailors simply bypassed by the island outpost.
These congressional numbnuts are still confused.
Good research!
From today (or yesterday), Zelensky’s visiting the UN/NATO, begging to join in their NWO party.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is all by design. Deliberately poking Russia in order to use them as a scapegoat. It just goes to show how demonic some of these people are. They are willing to put millions of lives at stake just to craft a different narrative. Funny thing is that if you don’t stand in one camp or the other, people will say you’re a Putinista or you don’t care about Ukraine. No offense, but none of these two “characters” are good people. I’ve heard that Zelensky has imprisoned journalists some years back. And as for Putin…I think we all know the kind of person he is now. It’s a pity that all of this insanity could have been avoided. But in another sense, I couldn’t be…when it is all deliberate.
Some people need to be imprisoned…. look at the photo above.
FAKE NEWS – UKRAINIAN STYLE
Ukraine’s ambassador to the United Nations on Monday read out what he said were the final text messages from a Russian soldier to his mother – describing his horror at the unfolding war before he was killed.
It came during an emergency session of the United Nations General Assembly to discuss the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Ukraine’s representative, Sergiy Kyslytsya, made an impassioned plea for help, holding up a screenshot of the soldier’s texts.
_________________________
‘Mom I’m no longer in Crimea,’ they began. ‘I’m not in training sessions.’
His mother asks: ‘Where are you then? Papa is asking whether I can send you a parcel.’
‘What kind of a parcel mama can you send me,’ he responds
‘What are you talking about? What happened?’
‘Mama, I’m in Ukraine,’ he responds, before describing the horror unfolding.
‘There is a real war raging here. I’m afraid. We are bombing all of the cities together, even targeting civilians.
‘We were told that they would welcome us and they are falling under our armored vehicles, throwing themselves under the wheels and not allowing us to pass.
‘They call us fascists. Mama. This is so hard.”
___________________
That phony B-movie dialogue is obviously contrived.
Then Secretary of State Dean Acheson made exactly that kind of stupid mistake in early 1950 when he told the world which countries’ freedom was in American vital interests, and left South Korea off the list. This helped start the Korean War.
So major administation officials do do things like that, even good ones.
Don’t attribute to conspiracy what can be explained by stupidity. Especially where stupid officials are involved. Though Acheson was one of the most brilliant individuals to ever be Secretary of State.
And he had previously done the same thing, but more “accidentally on purpose”. As an undersecretary in the Franklin Roosevelt admnistration in July 1941, when FDR was out of town, he overrode FDR’s express orders not to order a total embargo of oil exports to Japan (including not by those from the Dutch East Indies) without FDR’s express orders, and ordered the embargo on his own authority.
FDR let Acheson’s insubordination stand, and did not can him, upon returning because of wild media and public support for the embargo during FDR’s absence from Washington. If you study Japan’s final decision to attack the US, and I have, it was made almost immediately after it became clear that FDR had approved the embargo.
So I’m not saying outright that Sundance is wrong on this article’s premise, but do contend it is error to simply accept his assumption that a deliberate decision was made to provoke a war. Notably because we have the most incompetent President in history, and the people around him are definitely second-raters.
Excellent points, and thank you for the info. But, this is the New World Order w/r to Russia “invading” Ukraine… There only real and true goal is a One World Government – means don’t matter to them, only the ends.
I can’t believe there hasn’t been some long-range campaign to induce this war.
Trump Russia Russia Russia can’t be an accident.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mouth mind that our government is owned and controlled by the globalists. The drums of war are beating loudly on the legacy corporate media fully supporting Ukraine. Under no circumstances would I support our intervention, but since when does our government abide by the will of the people.
If Russia is so weak they can’t beat Ukraine than what do we fear from Russia? I don’t care about Ukraine they ARE Russian they speak Russian.
No, about half of Ukraine speak Ukrainian – the western half. The eastern “half” speaks Russian, and aligns themselves politically and culturally with Russia.
I believe the original plan was to allow Putin “the slight incursion” Biden alluded to.
Russia would get small eastern territories and NATO would then offer Ukraine acceptance in Retaliation.
And as Putin received Intel US was pushing NATO on Ukraine, he escalated his troops and offered a solution. Many nations intervened. If Ukraine promises not to join NATO, Russia does not invade was the public statement.
I hate to say this but in international matters, Putin speaks with more clarity than many others.
Lastly, we cannot overlook these Ukrainian invasions, don’t forget Crimea under Obama, occur only when US diplomacy is weak and without clear objectives.
Bill Burns-“I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests.”
So what? Russia needs to grow up and understand that global developments will not always be in their interests.
Invading a neighboring nation seems to be Russia’s only tool. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
I think that Russians should stop being brutes and recognize that other nations have the right to make their own decisions without Russian interference.
This is my take:
You might not agree with an adversary (Russia in this case), but to dismiss and ignore their legitimate security concerns is dangerously stupid. It is always wise to look at a war or a potential war from the other side’s perspective, if only to improve the effectiveness of your own efforts.
Russia is not Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya or Serbia, easy (and safe) for America and NATO to slap around. Russia has the most powerful nuclear force on the planet. Miscalculation over Ukraine can rapidly escalate into full-blown war and a nuclear exchange. For Russia, Ukraine joining NATO is a redline worth going to war over. We ignore this at our own peril.
In 1962, we already had medium-range nuclear-armed ballistic missiles in Turkey. When the USSR obtained a client state (Cuba) 100 miles from Florida, they thought it would be fair turnabout to also have their own MRBMs in range of America. (ICBMs were not yet available.) When the missiles were discovered in Cuba, the result was that America was outraged, rightly, and we very nearly had a nuclear exchange.
It was not “JFK backed down Khrushchev!” as American media portrayed it. Diplomats and generals on both sides later wrote that we came within a hair-breadth of a full nuclear exchange. In the deal that was worked out, we also (quietly) removed our MRBMs from Turkey. Part of the agreement was that the USSR would not crow about how they forced us to move our missiles out of Turkey.
Today Russia looks at Ukraine, and they see it as the 1942 invasion route of the Nazis, which came very close to cutting off their Caspian oil, which would have caused the rapid collapse and defeat of the USSR. The idea of NATO forces prepositioned across Ukraine, directly on the Russian border, armed with tanks and MRBMs, is a redline they have repeatedly said they could not tolerate.
The Russians think: at least the Germans had to fight their way to Ukraine and and then across it. How much worse to have NATO forces already in Ukraine, poised in striking range with missiles and tanks, ready to nuke Moscow in minutes, and occupy or destroy the Caspian oil fields in days?
We teased Ukraine into believing that if they were compliant with American, EU and NATO desires, they’d eventually join both groups. Instead, Russia was provoked into removing the possibility of NATO forces ever being positioned in Ukraine by their own invasion. This was all entirely foreseeable.
Imagine Khrushchev saying to JFK: “Our Cuban allies requested these armaments to protect them from continued Yankee aggression. So screw you, our missiles will stay in Cuba.” It would have meant nuclear war. This is how dire the Russians consider even the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO as a full partner.
We ignore their perspective at our own peril.
It’s all rigged and ALL a game…
The AMERICANS have been bamboozled for years and years and years…we just didn’t know how bad until the last several yrs. We’ve learned how corrupt our govt, agencies, congress are, our justice system, our judicial system.
WAR IS A GAME…for these people….it generates $$$ for their greed.
Pelosi and ALL of congress are known to inside trade and their dealings in Ukraine, China, overseas have made them wealthy and mulit-millionaires…Pelosi, Biden’s, McConnell’s, Lindsay, McCain, Kerry…and all others ARE RICH from their foreign $$$$…Swalwell was just shown this wk to have been gifted, grifted $millions from China….
It’s A GAME and they will very willing send my grands and your kids/grands to war to be sacrificed, killed, tortured, maimed in their quest for $$$$…
WE(THE USA) has technology that can put a bullet in someone’s eye across the world driving down a road…right..remember….??
SO tell me we DON’T KNOW HOW to start a war?? How to appease war OR how to STOP, prohibit or do nothing that would perhaps cause war?????
Ukraine, Russia is ongoing b/c USA WANTS it, needs it to be ongoing….and China knows it.
We are NEVER innocent when war is involved in the world…most times we are THE CAUSE.
These pols CALLING for troops to take down Russian aircraft….TREASON…should be hanged….should be flogged….HOW STUPID..yet, that is what is taking place now…urging..Biden, military to strike….
Amazing when the worst economy, inflation, unemployment strikes since Jimmy Carter…a war breaks out…isn’t it amazing how quickly when the poll numbers are tanked, truckers are aligning after seeing Canada be courageous..CDC, NIH, WHO (FAUCI…where oh where is the GOOD DOC?? He was on tv 10x a day…WHERE IS HE ???? Anyone seen him??? Now that Moderna, Pfizer and J&J have been shown to be frauds in their vaxxes, damage done…where oh where is FAUCI????? Masks. not 1 or 2, but try 3 for BETTER results and alas…NO masks anywhere….just by golly the COVID is gone…..
FRAUD…that is what drives the USA…politicians, WH, congress, states, governors, agencies, bureaucracies…govt…corruption is not just privy to the Biden’s, Clinton’s, Soros, McConnell’s, Pelosi’s…(though they lead the pack and show the way)…it is everywhere…yet those imprisoned on Jan 6th remain there, without trials and some without much charges…..BUT we allow Hunter, Bill, Hillary, Mitch, Elaine Chou, Nancy , husband and son, John Kerry and family to become RICH from corruption…insider trades…inside info…intel…Feinstein as well and her husband that just died…RICHEST of the Americans…
many very good questions, jwmson – especially, where is Fauci?
Excellent analysis. Everything points to One World Government. We are in the fight of our lives to save this country with our Constitution intact.

Putin is battling CANCER as well as Parkinson’s and had emergency surgery in February (2020), source claims
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13253481/putin-cancer-parkinsons-emergency-surgery/
He claims to have Kremlin sources “at the epicentre of decision making”.
Solovei said of 68-year-old Putin’s twin health traumas: “One is of psycho-neurological nature, the other is a cancer problem.
”The second diagnosis is a lot, lot more dangerous than the first named diagnosis as Parkinson’s does not threaten physical state, but just limits public appearances.
“But there is a fatal diagnosis.
Solovei claims Putin underwent surgery in February and another Russian source went on to claim it was an abdominal cancer operation.
Few gaps in the president’s schedule are apparent at the time but it is claimed his first appearance after the surgery was to lay flowers in St Petersburg memorial site on February 19.

Analyst, Kremlin Critic Solovei Released After Hours Of Questioning (yeah, “questioning” – probably more like “keep your mouth shut”)
https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-analyst-solovei-questioned/31708038.html
MOSCOW — Valery Solovei, a well-known Russian political analyst and Kremlin critic, has been released after being held for questioning after a search of his Moscow apartment.

Prednisone

Prednisone has many uses in the treatment of cancer. It is classified as a glucocorticosteroid.

Moon Face Caused by Corticosteroid
https://www.verywellhealth.com/prednisone-facial-mooning-1942983
A round, full, and puffy face is sometimes referred to as “moon face.” If you’re taking high doses of prednisone or other steroids known as corticosteroid, this swelling is most likely a side effect of the medication. Moon face isn’t painful, but it can cause emotional stress. Some research also links the condition to other health problems that you should be aware of.
I did the above research just today.
I mentioned his moon face here days ago and Hannity is beginning to ask about it. Those he asks who are briefed by Western intel as part of their job always manage to smoothly change the subject.
Putin’s last chance invasion before he croaks or is ousted due to health?
So, our Presdent Joseph R. Biden doesn’t have a moon face . . .
It is very clear that anyone can and will be sacrificed for the goal to be reached. The IMF, and WEF, are prepared to kill and create war for the purpose of their fantasy dream world.
Clearly the globalist elites are very wealthy people, but they are also cowards who hide behind anyone or anything they can in order to prevent their names and faces from being the lead of the New World Order.
sounds like it is time to shine the spotlight on these global elites, and their entire family. After the exposure let’s see how they respond to that, and just continue to illuminate all of them and the families.
I wouldn’t be in Kiev waiting for vacuum bombs to go off. People need to get out of there.
After reading this and other sources, esp. showing the deep ties Burns (CIA) has to Xi and CCP leadership, I conclude that the goal here by Xiden/globalists is to so hobble Russia that it becomes a vassal state of China. China knows its days of raping the USA for tech secrets is coming to an end. China will now control Russia and, effectively, the Germans and other Europeans whom mother Russia so generously suckles with oil and gas from her hyperlactating teat.
The democRATS and MSM provide “BS” for America.
As I’ve said before, Americans are the stupidest people in the world regarding “foreign affairs.” As long as you live comfortably in your fantasy world, you don’t care what is REALLY happening around the world. The GAE has been doing this crap for the last 100 years. Even though millions and millions of innocent people had died, they crumbled freely elected countries, destabilized regions to keep the “war machine” going, and other atrocities. But, Americans are still buying the “emotional manipulation” with the “images” of killed “civilians” allegedly. Wait until your sufferings begin with food shortage, no energy that disrupts your freaking “comfortable” life, then maybe you will wake up to the GAE. But sadly, it won’t happen.
The unfolding Ukraine disaster reeks of the same chicanery the US pulled to dupe Japan into attacking Pearl Harbor in the “surprise” attack of December 7, 1941. See the McCollum Memorandum for details. A quick summary:
“The memo (scanned copies are available online) detailed an 8 step plan to provoke Japan into attacking the United States. President Roosevelt, over the course of 1941, implemented all 8 of the recommendations contained in the McCollum memo. Following the eighth provocation, Japan attacked. The public was told that it was a complete surprise, an “intelligence failure”, and America entered World War Two.”
As usual, the media neglect to mention why Russia would risk international condemnation, currency collapse, and yet more sanctions to attack their western neighbor. The simplistic answer seems to be, “Putin’s mental capacity has deteriorated”- ironic, considering who we have in the Oval Office at the moment. Putin explained many times what would trigger such an invasion, and it was ignored: “No NATO membership for Ukraine, and no offensive weapons on Ukrainian soil”. Also ignored is the fact the government in Ukraine was installed eight years ago thanks to a US-supported coup. Since then, Kyiv has targeted the population in the ‘breakaway’ regions, resulting in more than 14,000 deaths. After escalation of the killing last month, these two regions finally asked for protection from the same Putin who supposedly wants to “restore Russia to its “Soviet-era empire”. “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” (Voltaire)
I wish ill will on no one, but may these people get everything coming their way. For what a man soweth…
“Nice country you got there. Shame if something were to happen to it.” – the big guy
How dare they expose the Biden crime family.
