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.
From the article: “Burns calls the Clinton administration’s decision to expand NATO to include Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic ‘premature at best, and needlessly provocative at worst.’
I suspect Clinton’s motive was to bolster Europe with the objective of diminishing the US military’s footprint abroad and its domestic prestige.
Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia were sometimes in rebellion against their Soviet overlords, with varying degrees of success. None would willingly bear the yoke of servitude again.
While it made sense to secure their independence from Russian aggression, joining NATO was admittedly provocative to hardline militaristic remnants among the newly formed Russian Federation.
Was annexation of Crimea the inevitable result of this “needless “ provocation?
As things stand, Putin has pushed (and been pushed!) as far as the various alliances will permit. F-35s are being forward deployed, ready to launch at a moment’s notice even as Russian troops encircle Ukraine’s major cities.
Someone will have to talk Putin off the ledge or this could spill into an open conflict between nuclear-armed opponents.
Someone will have to talk Putin off the ledge or this could spill into an open conflict between nuclear-armed
opponents.
And who put him on the ledge? Shouldn’t the bastard that knowingly put him there be charged with putting us on the edge of that nuclear war?
The bastard also had no problem killing millions of people around the world with a virus, stealing an election (treason) and locking up political prisoners and having them commit suicide. He is an addled evil psychopath.
Maybe our ex-dear supreme leader owemugabe could offer him a reach around or something …
“Shouldn’t the bastard that knowingly put him there be charged with putting us on the edge of that nuclear war?”
You would have me believe that Dementia Joe outfoxed Putin?
Not outfoxed. It doesn’t take much smarts, to understand that a red line for not just Putin, but all Russians, would be Nato on their doorstep.
As has been pointed out, we didn’t want Soviet missiles in Cuba, and would not welcome Russian artilliary on our Northern or Southern border,…o.k. depending on which way their were aimed, lol.
Anyway, its not outfoxing someone, to know if you punch them in the face, they will respond.
“Bullying” is more appropriately applied to NATO and Nuland, than to Russia and Putin.
Getting killed by a nuke or a bio-weapon, just another day in the world of 2022.
Ukraine is PART OF THE NWO, the dirty end of the stick. Putin knows it, and now, so do you. You’ve been lied to AGAIN by the MSM aparatus.
Most don’t seen to grasp the NWO has ALREADY taken over most of the white countries in Europe. UK, France, Germany, Austria, NZ, Aussies, MORE………… where have you been?
Their going to keep Playing geopolitical paddycake, provoking people, baiting world leaders until someone is going to set off one of those hypersonic nuclear warheads and sails it into someone’s basement. I guess they all are sitting around Pelosi’s office laughing about how they managed to make putin invade Ukraine just in time to cover up how bad the economy is, rite before the state of the union address
The “West” handled the ‘Victory’ of ‘the Cold War’ in the worst way possible.
We had a war with GB, won and later became staunch allies.
We had a war with Germany and Japan, won and became staunch allies.
Why not a similar approach with Russia? Instead we humiliated them, rubbed their noses in it, and then proceeded to annex all of their former republics into both NATO and EU.
Yes, I ‘sympathise’ with Russia, and not at all with US Gov or “Western European leaders”.
I don’t exactly sympathize with Russia, but I understand the reasons for their concern. If you’d been invaded at least five times in the last two hundred years, you’d be even more paranoid than you already were two hundred years ago.
Bubba Clinton was too busy boinking Monica to pull Russia into our orbit. The people in the Eastern block are remarkably similar to us and it certainly would have been worth extending the hand of friendship.
Don’t forget Harvard econ professor Andrei Shleifer who led the crash economy advisors to Russia in the 1990’s to kick start them into capitalists. David McClintick wrote a book in 2006 “How Harvard Lost Russia”. He was charged by the SEC I believe as his wife was running an investment company in Boston that depended on inside information from her husband about Russian investments and he had to pay $31M in fines. That and Clinton not really wanted to do any foreign policy and only meeting with the CIA director twice during his tenure. It was almost like the liberals were sad that the Soviets collapsed and really did not want to give Russian people the support they needed to navigate out of the wreckage that was still under control of soviet elites who did not want to give up their power.
Having been to Moscow with a high-school exchange program in 1987-9, I was hoping for happier lives and normalcy and friendship with Russians and ourselves after 1991 like we have with Germany and Britain. We even got one of my Russian friends baptized and she still attends church. A lot of Americans prayed for the conversion of Russia during the Cold War and still do.
Look at it this way: What did Russia do to Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, etc. for 44 years? Think they want to go back to that again? Over 800,000 Ukrainians died during Stalin’s forced famine. Think they want to go back to that again? The people of this region are willing to fight their own fight. Give them what they need, and then stay out of it.
By giving them “what they need” you most certainly not staying out of it.
What did Russia supply to North Vietnam? They BETTER not complain!!!
The annexation of Crimea was probably inevitable, as it had historically been Russia’s warm water port, and the population was largely ethnic Russian. As long as Ukraine was a member of the USSR, its control of Crimea was relatively insignificant, but as Ukraine looked westward after the fall of the USSR and developed close, corrupt financial ties to influential Americans, Russia’s concern would increase significantly.
No, Putin is a grown man who understands political maneuvering.
He had a choice to not take territory. He knew that the West (EU/US) was baiting him with NATO on his doorstep. If he waited, Ukraine would be reinforced.
Putin must believe that he has the technological and military might to fend off the EU and protect his new territory, or he wouldn’t have made such a drastic move. And, maybe he acquired some back channel US hardware via Afghanistan? Russia doesn’t seem concerned in the least on a response from EU peacekeepers, and the US response is just talk so far.
Like an Overton window, Putin will likely give back the extra non-ethnic territory he captured, the part he doesn’t want, in the name of being magnanimous. Or, he could keep it and get bogged down in regional fighting for a few years.
“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)”
I predict this will be a massive blunder on their part. No matter how much the media try to help them spin this as a Russia-Ukraine outcome, there are MANY that know what actions Biden has done to restrict our own energy production, and refuses to act in our own interests as supplies get cut off.
There is a reason why Biden “I did that” stickers were popping up on gas pumps months ago, and anything happening in Ukraine was not even a thought then.
The problem is, those living in cities who might have access to other transportation need to feel the pain. Granted, they will at the grocery store, but they need to feel as much pain as those in rural areas where the price at the pump should be added on to their grocery cost.
Jumping on a bus, subway, Uber or whatever to go get groceries costs much less than having to drive 20-30 miles to get to a grocery store.
Enter our fearless, modern day knights, the truckers! Encircle every large city 🏙 in the US and make the sniveling urbanites feel it too. They have caused this.
I would enjoy seeing that.
Yeah you right. Now factor in the snap shopper and there you have it. No gas increase and free gubment grub.
Maybe so, but if you run a bus or drive an Uber–or even a subway (electricity has to be generated somehow)–you will feel the pain, and ultimately so will your customers.
Rural people tend to have chickens, cows, goats, sheep, and land to garden. And if you don’t have those things you know someone that does. They also tend to have more storage to stock up on supplies than apartment city dwellers. Regardless, their main goal is to harm us no matter where we live, that I agree with.
Smart move.
Good for the Hungarians!
We want our REAL president back!
Really!
I’m fine w/ hearing the BS anti-Trump Fake News 24/7 cuz I know it’s all BS.
But sorting this “World War” crap is another level>>>> and you know NONE of this would be happening if Trump was in office.
Bravo, Bulgaria!
While Zelenskiy is revelling in his new found ‘hero’ status, he might do well to reflect on the fact that his new BFFs at the EU and WEF would love to see massive Ukrainian casualties so as to help their propaganda efforts.
While he’s all chuffed at suddenly being on Soros’ Christmas card list, he might also reflect on how long it will take Soros and his pals to tire of him and instal someone else.
I watched a video someone referenced here on CTH from Amazing Polly. She showed proof through numerous articles that Soros has owned everything in the Ukraine since the early 90’s. He bought people in Canada to go into Ukraine and set up everything so he controls the whole country. That is why poor Hungary is fighting against his NGO’s. Today he comes out and demands that Biden and the Democrats do whatever is needed to defend Ukraine. I’m sure they will have the Republicans that have funneled money through the Ukraine supporting this. Zelensky is another of these NWO people like Trudoe.
I have posted that video a couple of times, I am glad someone watched it, someone else could have posted it as well, but the point being it is worth the watch, and I am glad you got to see it. Polly did that video back in 2019.
The history of the Freeland family is quite something. And the part that keeps showing up everywhere these days is the ties to academia. Pretty funny, they set up a “school” and then stated it wouldn’t be teaching anything. Classic. All Universities seem to be nothing but spying agencies or indoctrination centers, Harvard being the worst. Hearing Malone openly talk about it is pretty interesting.
Anyway, everything goes back to Soros at some point in time.
Ukraine is PART OF THE NWO, the dirty end of the stick. Putin knows it, and now, so do you. You’ve been lied to AGAIN by the MSM aparatus.
Most don’t seen to grasp the NWO has ALREADY taken over most of the white countries in Europe. UK, France, Germany, Austria, NZ, Aussies, MORE………… where have you been?
Russia, Ukraine, Nato, the EU – and a Few Good MenYou Can’t Handle the Truth!
“1) Can we manage two thoughts in our heads at the same time?
I should not have to repeat the following, but we are where we are in history and so I find myself having to: I have long been a critic of Putin. I have probably opposed Putin before a wider audience than most of my critics. My animas against Putin is visible online for all to see. It started because I stood firmly with the Syrian Arab uprisingagainst the dictator Assad in Syria, who Putin supported. I stood with the Syrian people then as I stand with all of the people in Ukraine today.
Our opposition to Putin in Syria by no means meant that any of us supported ISIS in Syria either.”

I agree with your sentiments. Truth be told, I have Ukrainian ancestry. You can support Ukraine in this effort without being a stooge for the deep state or WEF. You can oppose Soros and his ilk without being a cuck for Putin. This thing between Russians and Ukrainians has been going on a lot longer than is being discussed. They’ve been fighting when the CIA was just three letters in the alphabet. Too many here are so focused on turning over every stone looking for a deep state angle that you can’t see that one side is fighting for their nation and the other wants to control it. That struggle has gone on far longer than any deep state involvement. Terrible deep state cabal on one side and an awful Russian machine on the other. The poor Ukrainians caught in the middle.
This is an honest and fair analysis. I feel for the citizens of Ukraine, but not for the corrupt officials and gangsters who enable Deep State grift at the expense of the people. If these people can be destroyed without any harm to the people I’m all for it. The Ukrainian Government and its enablers must be righted, though. The deep state gravy train must be destroyed and their power removed or the entire world is in danger, not just Ukraine.
But like all other actions taken by FJB, this will also blow up in his face. His polling numbers may be in the 20’s soon.
saw a poll today of democrats and his approval is 23%
Why wouldn’t it be, the fans love where Bernie Sanders spent his honeymoon!
Losing massive amounts of Hispanic support as well. The D RATS are going to get ass whipped in 2022. I wonder how many of those Eastern European countries actually detest China Joe. Don’t forget, they had to deal with him as VP for 8 years.
I don’t talk to anyone; Black, Brown, yellow, red who supports Biden. Even when I talk to someone I pre-judge to be a Libtard.
If the Globalists could unleash a world wide pandemic, which killed millions, to get Trump out of office, I shudder to think what they will do to prevent his return.
I agree, unfortunately. 😞🙏🏻
So how does one get to the point in their life where the pinnacle of their career is stoking a war with a nuclear capable superpower?
Never underestimate the ability of Joe Biden to eF things up.
One of the very few facts he ever uttered.
He’s only doing what he’s told. He sold his soul long ago to the so called elites. He has no choice but to do what his handlers demand. That’s the deal he and the rest of these soulless cretins signed up for. Money and power and in return they own him. Quite simple. The mob works the same way. I guess that’s redundant.
I’m sick to death of these creatures and all of their lying and scheming! This is just so darn depressing. Praying for God to expose every last rat who has betrayed our country over so many year! When will He return and put an end to it all?! I am ready!!
I know, I just want to live my life in peace and these people keep meddling in it. I wish they would all go away and leave us alone.
So China was duped by Biden?
I wonder if Putin thinks the same?
The only thing Biden duped is his diaper.
duped, not pooped.
What Sundance has written here reads like a spy novel. Alas, real spies don’t read spy novels.
What do you believe “real spies” do? Asking for an opposite number.
To the extent the premise in the article is correct, this is a depraved and vile act causing untold misery in at least one country for the simple purpose of trying to prop up one of the least capable Administrations in 50 -100 years.
This isn’t the first time they’ve done this.
More than one country involved.
Putin has been attacked for the last 15 years, by the same people that attacked PDJT non-stop.
Can’t blame him for being frustrated.
All are aligned Biden administration, Russia, China! This is planned, Russia – Ukraine internal conflict internal conflict, how can you invade something you think belongs to you; same as China- HK, China- Taiwan- New world order! US didn’t stop Nordic 2, won’t sanction energy, won’t approve no fly zone over Ukraine; both Russia and US want Zelensky to leave UKraine. None considered what Ukrainian people would do, and didn’t expect them to support their elected president or that he did not take bribe to leave. So now with outpouring of all the people have to look that support UKraine and it’s president; especially EU when the people in their country are saying do more! Expected it to end very quickly!
For additional perspective, if you have time you should read GK Chesterton’s The Man Who Was Thursday and Solzhenitsyn’s Two Hundred Years Together.
“[Y]ou should read GK Chesterton’s The Man Who Was Thursday.”
I rate it as the weirdest spy novel written and much prefer his “The Man who Knew too Much” for its insight into the machinations of power.
The west will not hold back any effort to protect the the playground of the corrupt American political crime families that use Ukraine for their safe haven, money laundering activities.
Even the risk of thermonuclear war is not off the table. Trust no one, trust nothing, especially the state controlled news media, state controlled social media, the State Dept. or
any government spokesperson.
If the fabled massive resupply of lethal aid and weaponry that has been pledged to aid the Ukraine resistance is interdicted by the Russians before or soon after it crosses the
border from Poland….well then we are engaged in a WAR with Russia, one that will not end well….for anyone or anything.
Looks Like Poland said no in helping Ukraine.
Interesting former Soviet subjugated Republics, who know well Conmunism and have no use for it, Poland and Hungary say no military aid.
Being closer to the situation, they know Zelenski, and they know the crap that US has been engaged in, in Ukraine and Western Europe.
That they are saying NO, to lethal military aid, speaks VOLUMES.
Don’t forget the human trafficking through Ukraine, it is every bit as bad as our border w/the sex slave trade.
A pretext for continued control of the population for a different crisis excuse. Control must never lighten up but always get more expansive.
Is Volodymr Zelenskyy, the Ukraine President A Western Puppet Or Is He A Man Of The People ?
If Biden baited Putin to enter the Ukraine (not sure I am on board with this theory), then surely Zelensky now knows he cannot trust Biden nor the West with the security of his country because Biden will use any means, including war, death and destruction of the Ukraine to achieve their ends.
Putin makes his own decisions. No one in IC is smart enough to “trigger” him.
Indeed. Reagan snookered the Soviets with Star Wars in Iceland. I seriously doubt whether any Russian leader since has trusted anything coming out of DC.
I would not underestimate him. He surely has thought through all the angles.
I’ve floated the idea that Putin is trying to bust NATO. Two days ago the NATO head said that even a cyber-attack against a NATO member would activate Article 5, which is ridiculous. Maybe Putin is testing the NATO alliance?
“Trigger”, maybe. “Snooker” no.
If you threaten to punch me in the nose ( have Ukraine join NATO) I WILL respond as appropriate, to defend myself.
Is that me being “triggered”? maybe.
“snookered”,..no.
Thank you, Sundance, for this bit of sanity and honesty. I hope people begin to listen to the truth, and recognize they’re being played by TPTB.
How many are blinded by their unreasoning hatred of “Russia” and “Putin,” and are slavering to enter the fray despite the truth, and worse, send other people’s children to fight for “liberty,” “freedom,” and “democracy” in those Eastern European countries they know nothing about and still can’t find on a map unless it’s projected on an MSM warmongering screen?
Henry Kissinger — one of the leading members of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberger group, Davos, and the rest of the elite rulers — once quipped that military members are just cannon fodder; it’s no great loss if they are killed or maimed for life in a government-instigated confrontation with anyone anywhere in the world — and, no matter which country. The ruling central banks have, since their nefarious inception, funded and enabled all sides of any confrontation: the U.S., Britain, AND the Bolsheviks; the U.S., Britain, AND Germany; the U.S. and Allies, AND Japan, etc. For over 100 years, now, since at least 1913 when the Federal Reserve System was finally established in the U.S.
Time for Americans to open their eyes and see the reality and the truth. “All Wars are Bankers Wars.” There’s even a documentary by that name. It’s as fresh and accurate today as when it was made. “The Monopoly Men” was even made for PBS back when it wasn’t quite so given over to the Left. It is a history of these things, specifically the origination of the Fed. And you still may be able to find Aaron Russo’s “America: Freedom to Fascism” online at YT or Bitchute or maybe Rumble. Well worth the effort and time.
We’re in this because “this” has been planned and in the works for a very, very long time.
We don’t need to be in this, if only more of us were awake, red-pilled, informed, and understanding.
Anyway, thank you again for this, Sundance.
Standing ovation 👏 👏👏👏, graycat!! The Federal Reserve was and is unconstitutional. The FR and global banking represents the core of the evil around the world now, and for decades. Pat Buchanan, Ron Paul and Rand Paul are the only ones that I recall having the balls and the principles to call them out.
All I can say is, The truth will out. And while some people may be willfully blind about what’s being done here, most understand that Biden’s disgraceful and anti-American behaviors and policies well predate this Ukraine tragedy.
Don’t forget: the main goal of the leadership class at this point is the engineered collapse of the US as a viable republic and society. All policies are geared with that end in mind. Of course, they don’t want the population involved to get wise to it so first the enemy was an invisible pathogen, now it is a boogeyman in far-distant Eastern Europe.
Just as the pandemic was most likely a manufactured crisis so is it possible that this one is too given that Putin is a WEF leadership training graduate like Trudeau and Merkel.
The Great Reset agenda continues and the Prime Goal in this world wide asymmetric war is the collapse of the US after which all the other countries and peoples will willingly fall into line.
Except Russia.
I don’t think Putin is a Wefer; he may have attended, to hear what they were up to, but I doubt he bought into it.
They, the WEF’ers are against him, because any leader of a major (nuke) power, is an impediment to their aspiration of Globalism.
As I understand it, Putin categorically rejected the WEF.
Zelensky testing the waters about Ukraine being allowed nuclear weapons added quite a weight and was a direct poke to Putin.. unbalanced, un-unified Ukraine with nukes 5 minutes away from Russia, not going to happen.
This is all so disheartening the way these self anointed people play Kings and Queens with us being the pawns.
Victoria Nuland comes to mind.
Along with blame shifting, wars are also ideal ways to funnel money
I wonder how much Biden himself participated in this, or, considering his cognitive impairment, did Jill/Klain/Obama bother to tell him. Even if he understood what was going on, i.e., knowingly allowing the death of hundreds of innocent people and the destruction of a country’s infrastructure and industry wouldn’t bother him.
The NYPost noted his cold-blooded callousness when he was discussing the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan during the Obama administration, as diplomat Richard Holbrooke recounted:
“Joe Biden once snarled “F–k that” when asked if the US had an obligation to protect Afghans from the Taliban, according to newly resurfaced reports. The commander-in-chief allegedly made the callous remark back in 2010 when he was vice president, while speaking to US diplomat Richard Holbrooke.
At the time, Biden reportedly was arguing that the US should leave Afghanistan despite the humanitarian costs, including the erosion of women’s political rights.
‘F–k that. We don’t have to worry about that,’ he [Biden] allegedly told Holbrooke. ‘We did it in Vietnam. Nixon and Kissinger got away with it’ The conversation between the pair was documented in Holbrooke’s diary that was eventually included in George Packer’s 2019 book, Our Man: Richard Holbrooke and the End of the American Century.”
Vietnamese, Afghans, Ukrainians…even Americans whose lives and livelihoods were lost during the two-years of unnecessary shutdowns. None of it matters.
Orwell’s 1984 succinctly put what authoritarians like the American left want:
“The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power – pure power. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.”
Except they invariably confuse CONTROL, with POWER, not appreciating the difference.
And that, properly exploited is ONE of their key vulnerabilities.
There are others,…
Who didn’t see this coming?
Not more abandoned American allies?

Yes, Biden is evil and yes he baited Putin. But Putin went for it. (Which I’m surprised – I thought he was smarter than that.)
Thats not what happened.
Ukraine joining Nato was an understandable red line, not just for Putin, but for all russians.
It represents an unacceptable threat to russia.
If I threaten to do a home invasion, tie you up and force you to watch, as I raped your wife,…you would take whatever actions you felt were necesary, to avert my threat.
THAT is a more accurate analogy.
If they can manufacture this crisis, they can’t fix an election?
Just sayin
Mic drop!
The MI6 Director in the UK thinks the Ukraine war is about LGBT rights. These are the people that are running our world. I want off this planet.

And John Kerry hopes Putin will keep global warming foremost in his thoughts.
ALL those tanks and warplanes, burning all that fossil fuel,…
Maybe James Taylor in drag could fix the world?
Joey wanted a war, and by golly gee he got one. It’s the only way to deflect from his multitude of failures.
If the Beast had won we would have had a war, it is what they do, she particularly wanted one w/Russia.
So the banking system is the most powerful weapon in modern times. We went from debanking truckers to debanking a country in a few weeks. I don’t care how anyone feels about either situation, just know its a reality.
Fake News busted again… Are they really even trying? 😂

* “This story has been updated to clarify that Lenna’s Instagram depicted her wielding an airsoft gun and that she is not a member of Ukraine’s military.”
I’m curious what they report when the Ukranian army to the east collapses, put8n resets borders in eastern Ukraine and possibly decides he ll take out infrastructure in Kiev after all. He has plenty of bombers hasn’t used them….yet.
Here is the root of all evil, in EVERYTHING. Soros tells the US they must do whatever possible to back Ukraine. Soros created and owns Ukraine.

We shall see who laughs last, as many knew the reason for Putin’s actions. Only time will tell imho, as news it not what it once was! Propaganda or a tool for a desired climax?
I don’t buy into the idea biden triggered this confrontation.
Putin has been tolerating NATO expansion into the Ukraine for a long time and he’s just been waiting for the right time to put an end to it.
Here is his speech in which he lays out in historical detail why he is doing it and what he intends to do. In essence, he is going to to remove, permanently, NATO influence in Ukraine and , second, allow two states in the Ukraine to become Russian states which both want to be.
And, he is serious.
During this event, I would say that anyone who hurts his people are going to have their people hurt.

I’ve seen the use of old photos accompanying new or made-up reports occurring frequently the last few days!
Many times, photos can be traced just like text via sites like TinEye Reverse Image Search. Usually, all you have to do is right click on an image to access its web address. Then, just go to tineye, enter that web address and hit the search button. The search engine can check millions of online photos within mere seconds and show occurrences of any that are the same as the one you searched for.
Usually, the date of previous use will be recorded and a link to where it was found. There’s also a way to compare the image you searched for with any that are found; which, can often help discover if the photo has been Photoshopped. The older version will be the original, more legit; and the newer, changed version will have been Photoshopped.
Just earlier today, I found photos being posted this week as if they were current (according to accompanying text) but were actually from articles that appeared online as far back as 2015! Needless to say, if a photo existed online years ago, it cannot have been taken within the last few days!
Our propaganda agencies are obviously hard at work conjuring up evidence that Putin is the guy Americans must hate at this moment in time.
This whole scenario is seen as a win-win-win for the Biden regime. Not only do they get cover for the disastrous economy of their own Green Deal Making, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, was not who Obama wanted as president of Ukraine. He wasn’t corrupt enough and was actually elected by the people of Ukraine to replace the CIA’s puppet Poroshenko. This too continues as a constant reminder of Putin/Russia bad and linking Trump to the whole Russian collusion hoax, that half the US population still believes. Unless Putin fires off a nuclear weapon and does actually start World War III, the Biden regime, the WEF, WB and IMF don’t see a bad outcome to this as they continue down their path to complete world dominance.
Even if our idiots provoked it, we still don’t know the outcome. There’s no game those numbnutted dimwits can win that isn’t fixed. That’s why the worldwide coordination. So they can never again lose.
They have been against Putin all along, cause he stands as an impediment to a One World Government.
The Uniparty needs to defend its Rino wing, from a MAGA-Wave.
This new false narrative will dovetail with the “Insurrection” and “Trump is Putins puppet”
perfectly, or at least well enough to suit their purposes.
In order to unite “the people” you need a “common enemy”,..
I think these WEF’ers are INSANE, and taking actions which force them to reveal themselves, which is what PDJT did, and what the C. Convoy did, causeing more people to red pill, in order to grow our movement, is a valuable strategy at this point.
We now know we can NOT count on ANY of our Institutions to “save us”; WE must save ourselves from the dystopian nightmare of klauseschwab.
And, UNITY is the key to conquering their divisiveness. We need We, the People of the WORLD, to fight this globalist threat.
A piecemeal approach, of fighting in individual countries, ultimately will not be enough.
Here again, PDJT had “supporters” around the World, as did the Canadian Truckers.
WHEN we have a large enough movement, THEN excersising our POWER with General strikes can be effective.
We ain’t there YET, but our movement HAS, and will continue to grow.
From what I saw I thought POTUSDJT refused to be baited into a war – as instigated by our own dirty government. I just wonder why Putin couldn’t do the same.
“Why?”
SD, it may be worse than you think.
What if Russia/China wanted this “as a means to an end.”
Are we so sure this “Bill” Burns isn’t working for the other side?
George Soros has given his blessing to Ukraine in its war against Russia. I ask Sundance or anyone else out there: What does the Deep State have to gain from a Ukrainian victory?
Something much bigger going on. Me thinks you don’t respect Trump and Putin enough. They are playing the deep state.
Methinks you have been following Q too much…

BREAKING! Ukraine Press Release About Joe Biden/Deep State Corruption In the Ukraine! (rumble.com)
Many of the convicted criminals that Ukrainian President Zelensky
have Armed & Set Free have robbed Ukrainian Banks and fled the
country.
Apparently some Russian soldiers are abandoning their tanks etc and walking to the Polish border to blend in with refugees
Ukrainian Citizens are reporting that Russian Forces at a Depot in the Sumy Region abandoned the Outpost and fled into the woods during the night leaving behind, BMPs, BTR-80s, MT-LBs and Infantry Transport Vehicles there is no indication as to why they fled.
More propaganda.
The National Pulse has a great piece on how some of the most popular stories of Ukrainian heroics are BS.
The Snake Island heroes.
The Ghost of Kiev
The children saluting.
Miss Ukraine joining the fight
Anonymous hacking Russian accounts
The teacher with the bandages on her head
ALL BS. NOT TRUE. FALSE. Happened sometime in the past.
Zelenskyy himself spread some of this baloney.
Use your head and think logically.
Kiev has been surrounded by Russian forces from 7 hours in after the invasion. Why no movement?
The bombings have been of military targets. The Ukrainian army to the east has been cut off. supplies destroyed.
Russian heavy weapons are at the border…not in country. Russians have been slow to use their heavy weapons which will annihilate whatever they are aimed at. This is the second most powerful army in the world. They are not to be casually underestimated.
Why no heavy weapons yet? Minimal civilian casualties with armed forces strangled from lack of ammo, fuel, and food.
As Lt. Col McGregor states: This invasion is already done. The only ones who do not get it are the Media.
The stupidest thing anyone could do was threaten the Russians with Ukrainian membership in NATO…unless of course you want a war.
Back in the early 80’s my degree was in Political Science with a background in Soviet Foreign Policy. It was known then as a given, that the Russian People have an absolute paranoia about being invaded…having been invaded twice in less than 200 years with disastrous results. Napoleon did it first. A “scorched earth policy was enacted by the Tsar to deprive the invaders of supplies…..it worked but hundreds of thousands of Russians starved.
The second time was Germany’s invasion in WWII. The same “scorched earth” policy was implemented with the same results.
That is why Burns details a unified Russian opinion that Ukraine will never be a member of NATO—whose sole purpose is the destruction of Russia. It is a hill the Russians will die on. They will use tactical nukes to make their point. Only a fool pokes the Russian Bear with this kind of threat.
Btw: I am not siding with Russia. I have no skin in this game other than to keep my America the heck out of this conflict. But you have to understand the issues to grasp what the heck is actually going on.
🎯
I’ll withhold judgement until the dust settles (i.e. the Russians withdraw)–soon, I hope. I sure hope Col. MacGregor is right. I also hope–against hope–that a distinctly Ukrainian nation–deprived of “Banderists” and transnational bureaucrats and oligarchs –not to mention the uniformed air-guitar club–may emerge, fortified by the rule of law and freedom of conscience. Phenomena that history has denied the Ukrainian people. But what will its boundaries be? I doubt whether Kiev will have much sway in the matter.
Excellent and objective comments but the media and even many on FOX News would say that you are a “Putin stooge” for not subscribing to all the anti-Putin rants.
This is exactly true. My mother in law watches Fox religiously all day long. They are more of an enemy to us that CNN, MSNBC,… combined.
My cable provider has removed RT from the package. Sure, they’re biased, but they allowed contrary views and presented news and info fairly dispassionately, unlike CNN, MSNBC (of course) and FNC (formerly Fox). Meanwhile, Moscow allows these reporters to transmit their slant. So much for freedom of speech in the West.
Not to diminish your insight, but to poke around your depth of crawling around in the weeds.
But maybe we should pay more attention to a throw away comment you made…”the stupidest thing anyone could do, unless you WANTED A WAR”
Think about it, and consider the credentials of the director of the CIA.
Yeah, lots of BS during wartime. On Tucker’s show last night I saw several photos of civilian men acting like they were shooting at Russians… but not one of them had magazines in what looked like brand new AKs.
Don’t believe fake news crap like that.
Ukraine military are even dynamiting some of their own buildings to say Russia did it.
Pictures of “patriotic Ukrainians” taking to the streets to fight the Russian aggressors, except that on close inspection their rifles are made of cardboard.
Ukraine is a lawless and anarchic country.
This Russian intervention in the longer term will probably have been the best thing that could have happened for the innocent people living in Ukraine whose only wish is to have an honest and lawful government and not a succession of gangster/pro Nazi regimes installed by Obama/CIA in 2014 which caused this mess in the first place.
If you look at the list of CIA criminality from 1947 onwards it will come as no surprise that wherever the CIA goes in the world, death, carnage, mayhem and suffering are sure to follow.
“If you look at the list of CIA criminality from 1947 onwards it will come as no surprise that wherever the CIA goes in the world, death, carnage, mayhem and suffering are sure to follow.”….Finally, some one who understands…
As in any war tanks and mechanized vehicles break down or run out of gas. But when this happens globalist and Russophobic twitterati are claiming that Russian soldiers are walking away from their tanks out of disgust for Putin and this war.
The reasons are obvious to me.
1 – They are conscripts paid $4/day
2 – They are so mal-trained they are scared out of their boots
3 – The only have their AKs and ammo, no real offensive weapons (Russia cannot afford an unending supply of the rockets and missiles they need so they save them to shoot into apartment buildings to create fear)
4 – They want no part of this but are compelled by Putin, mostly, into the army and believe they have “No dog in this fight”.
5 – I’ve spent a lot of time in Russia and the regular and average Russians that I met like the U.S.
