The coordinated propaganda campaign designed to sway western opinion over Ukraine has reached dangerous proportions.
Last night the Ukrainian government, in close coordination with the U.S. State Department, tried to establish a position for NATO intervention based on false stories of a nuclear power plant meltdown (Zaporizhzhia) in the southeastern Ukraine city of Enerhodar.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appeared on television overnight claiming NATO needed to get involved or a catastrophe far greater than the Chernobyl accident was imminent. “You know the word Chernobyl,” Zelenskyy said with maximum drama for impact.
Almost immediately, the U.S. State Dept then began promoting the crisis, “It is a war crime to attack a nuclear power plant. Putin’s shelling of Europe’s largest nuclear plant takes his reign of terror one step further,” the message from the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv claimed, and the war machine published a phone call between Joe Biden and Zelenskyy over the issue.
However, in a clear exhibition of how Ukraine propaganda is now extreme and desperate, everything about the claim was false. This morning, in an effort to save face and hide the intent of their propaganda, the U.S. State Department began trying to cover themselves, as evidenced by CNN narrative engineer Natasha Bertrand.
Setting aside for a moment the latest example of CNN/CNNi being the official state media for the U.S. State Dept, propaganda can backfire when the claims are too outrageous. The State Dept is now doing damage control using their CNN public relations unit.
The reality of the situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant was far less alarming than all of the spin from the Ukraine government and the U.S. State Department.
Reports indicated Ukraine defense forces fired RPG’s from the administrative building of the plant toward Russian soldiers. The Russians returned fire toward the building, eliminated the Ukraine provocateurs, and took control over the plant. There was only one reactor working at the time, and no threat of radiation was ever present during the incident.
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian troops Friday seized the biggest nuclear power plant in Europe after a middle-of-the-night attack that set it on fire and briefly raised worldwide fears of a catastrophe in the most chilling turn in Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine yet.
Firefighters put out the blaze, and no radiation was released, U.N. and Ukrainian officials said, as Russian forces pressed on with their week-old offensive on multiple fronts and the number of refugees fleeing the country topped 1.2 million.
[…] In the atttack on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in the southeastern city of Enerhodar, the chief of the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Mariano Grossi, said a Russian “projectile” hit a training center, not any of its six reactors.
[…] Authorities said that Russian troops had taken control of the overall site but that the plant staff continued to run it. Only one reactor was operating, Grossi said in the aftermath of the attack.
Two people were injured in the fire, Grossi said. Ukraine’s state nuclear plant operator Enerhoatom said three Ukrainian soldiers were killed and two wounded.
In the wake of the attack, Zelenskyy appealed again to the West to enforce a no-fly zone over his country. But NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg ruled out that possibility, citing the risk of a much wider war in Europe. He said that to enforce a no-fly zone, NATO planes would have to shoot down Russian aircraft.
“We understand the desperation, but we also believe that if we did that, we would end up with something that could end in a full-fledged war in Europe,” Stoltenberg said.
The U.N. Security Council scheduled an emergency meeting Friday on the plant attack.
Russian forces, meanwhile, pressed their offensive in the southern part of the country. Severing Ukraine’s access to the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov would deal a severe blow to its economy and could worsen an already dire humanitarian situation.
A round of talks between Russia and Ukraine yielded a tentative agreement Thursday to set up safe corridors to evacuate citizens and deliver food and medicine. But the necessary details still had to be worked out. (read more)
All the more reason to stay out of this. When they use deception to draw people to their cause, people should do the opposite. And we’ve been seeing a LOT of that lately.
It’s why I’ve quit checking the ” news” for even a split second since this thing started.
Such unhinged wall to wall coverage on all stations for days on end – to the exclusion of every other thing that’s happening in the world – kind of gives you the Heads Up that>>>>> It’s ALL Bullsh*t.<<<<<
Sure squeezed out the trucker convoys, and has almost extinguished the 24/7 covid blaze.
Yip, everyone is focused now on the Putin-22 virus which is feared to spread.
I would welcome the United States media being taken out by Russia. All Russia has to do is shoot down a few satellites.
And we will take it from there.
Yeah we could use some help right now
And predictably and like clockwork, we see crying and bloodied children now being used as agitprop.
I stress that I pray for all those who are in the vile crosshairs of this whole orchestrated tragedy, amongst which are children and their families. A dear friend has family in the Ukraine and for the moment they are mercifully safe. Deo gratias.
But let’s not be swept up by the hideous, mawkish yellow journalism which is being spread like manure. For examples of this, all one has to do is look at the pictures and headlines in the worst of them all…The Daily Mail.
We all have been waiting for the media to use children to advance the call “something MUST be done!!”. Well, their arsenal in the propaganda war has been deployed to effect the hideous One World Order planned for us, as we knew it would be. Despicable.
If these monsters were so concerned about children in any way, shape, or form, abortion would be addressed and there wouldn’t be the evil campaign to inject children with the current bioweapon.
We all feel sick to see anyone injured or worse by those who bring war to their peoples. Those who can’t see the emotional manipulation of the weakest, however, simply are not looking.
If this is a real war why have the Russians not shut the electricity and phonelines?
Lots and LOTS of questions unanswered and for now unanswerable. The one you pose is important and just one of them.
Another…like the false assertion that people were dying by the millions from covid and yet funeral homes and hospitals were not overwhelmed. Business as usual, so to speak. Why are we just seeing stock photos from other conflicts (proven) published as photos from this conflict? Where is actual real time footage, as was produced during other wars? So far I’ve seen none.
So many questions (including incisive ones deliberately not being asked or addressed) with no answers in site.
My favorite is the story from last week that Ukrainian forces destroyed a convoy of 56 Chechen tanks, and killed a general. Yet not a single photo or video of all those destroyed tanks has ever been reported. No aerial views. Nothing but stock photos to accompany the story and no follow up.
No…not a one. Interesting, no?
Some one just simply misplaced the pictures … happens all the time! Just last week I had a selfie with Elvis and Bigfoot in it and I accidentally deleted it!
Pity…just think what you could have gotten for those!
and why is Russia still allowed to export oil and it seems the “serious ” sanctions imposed appear to have a number of exemptions?
Truly unfortunately, “the weakest” who are being emotionally manipulated, INCLUDES ALMOST EVERY “CONSERVATIVE” I KNOW!
I cannot tell you how disturbing and depressing it has been to see the ABSOLUTE FLOOD of comments daily by even the most dedicated MAGA friends and acquaintances on social media!
…FROM TEXAS NATIVES OF GENERATIONS!
I despair – so deeply – their falling hook, line, and sinker, from the beginning, for these evil lies! I am truly disappointed in them!
I believe that patriotic and/or church-going citizens’ default setting is TO TRUST THE GOVERNMENT!
UNLESS SOMETHING RADICAL NEUTRALIZES THE POWER OF THE EVIL, OMNIPRESENT MEDIA PROPAGANDA MACHINE, I don’t see a way out of the mess we’re in.
The great majority of people these days will not even think about taking the time required to research and locate what is actually true before consuming it – and certainly wouldn’t even CONSIDER taking the time to so much as read the entirety of an average length post by Sundance on CTH!
They are self centered, busy, lazy, and used to being “spoon-fed” the news – that is, those who even take the time to glance at the tv as they prepare for another personally important event.
I REALLY, REALLY hate to put all our eggs in the TRUMP SOCIAL basket, but I dearly hope that it can make a positive difference!
And, even then, like Fox News of old, only a certain group will follow it, while the rest continue to ridicule and attack anything detrimental to their demented goals.
Still, there’s the possibility that it will provide the truth so greatly needed in today’s world – in a format they will use – and will NOT be sabotaged by traitors and tricksters! (I’M REFERRING TO YOU, RINOS!)
It makes my heart sink as well, TR. So much so that when I see comments and articles from people who I’d consider keen observers and critical thinkers and who clearly have swallowed what they’ve been fed whole, I quickly move on.
And while I’m thinking about it, I can’t recall if Mr Trump has tweeted or social media-ed any support for either adversary specifically. I doubt he would.
At this point, there is so much fog and obfuscation. I see the enemy in all this as the WEF which is clearly the string puller on all the actors we’re supposed to “root” for. All I know is that I’ve never felt so uneasy in my life. There is much we don’t know, but what we do know? I’m not buying any of it.
This site is my go to for honest analysis. I trust no other.
The only other time I felt so uneasy was when we were personally involved with the Vietnam War! You couldn’t believe the media then, either! Not even the sainted Walter Cronkite!
I still remember the nightly news at 6 o’clock showing the endless number of black body bags identified as containing the remains of American soldiers – every night! For those with loved ones over there, that was an abhorrent thing to do!
Betsy, I strongly agree with you about the WEF. It seems that is the head of the snake! I also strongly agree about CTH and Last Refuge2 on Twitter.
Regarding Trump Social, my worry is that RINOS will inveigle their way into it, as they did President Trump’s Administration.
I am also concerned that people do not jump onto the Trump Train again – and then hop off it in the future if he should become unable to continue as the Engineer.
Although Queen Elizabeth has had an extremely long life and reign, none of us is promised tomorrow. I hope there is a lasting plan for the site to continue, for many years, to be a much-needed beacon for Truth in a dark world.

It is complete BS!
Was at a friends last night and on the tele was “tick tock Hannity”. For the entire hour it showed (over and over and over) a video of flares landing in (some) parking lot while the blabbering heads reiterated over and over that the Nuke plant was under attack and on fire….
It was flares for christ sake. In an unidentified parking lot.
Bad enough when Miss Lindsey’s face appeared on screen after having suffered through that hack jennifer griffin.
My friend thinks this is “the” news.
You can’t believe the media anything you hear and very little of what they show .
With the technology available they can create virtual any scenario
My dear husband, a rather learned man, is completely wept up in the “evil madman” Putin is losing schtick.
We rarely disagree, but on this one, we each are convinced we are right.
Only time will tell.
The 24/7 fear porn worked so well for the pLandemic… they thought it would work again. It won’t be as successful as a lot of people are waking up to the fact that the pLandemic was overblown.
‘Remember the Maine!’
Butcher Weygand was bad, but there was absolutely zero chance that the Spaniards would even have dreamed of blowing up the Maine. It probably wasn’t even Cuban saboteurs. It was most likely a coal dust explosion.
But it was blamed on those dastardly Spaniards, and when the smoke cleared the US had an empire. Which likely caused its involvement in WW II when it did, because without the Philippines the most forward base would have been maybe Wake Island, Guam, or Samoa, none of which the Japanese would have needed to overrun the Pacific. But that’s speculation.
After Pearl, the Japanese needed Manila Bay, and needed to get access to it quickly in order to conquer all the necessary territory in the Pacific to make their territory impervious to reconquest by the US
Thats why US defense plan called for withdrawing to the Bataan Peninsula, because the Japanese needed to have this territory to assault Correigador Island which was at the mouth of Manila
The fact that America managed to delay the capture of Correigodor till May, 1942 was hugely important as Japan had only about a year to finalize its conquests after taking out Pearl
Biden is in the thick of it..Most likely if not for him there would be no plan..He doesn’t care that the west ..falls into abyss..
Biden is a meat puppet. It’s Obama behind the curtain, using all his former close staffers to pull the strings.
“Meat puppet” is my husband’s favorite epithet for Brandon!
Soooo glad CNN walked this back before I’d get the predictable phone call fr/ an unhinged (and suddenly pro-war) Dem family member.
Never thought I’d say this, but!:
Thank You, CNN!
Some very bad hombres are trying to make this war hot between NATO and Russia. I thought the part of peace and love was anti war?
Bunch of Warmongers….. and ANTI Free Speech, to boot.
Targeting people who won’t “disclaim” Putin. Orchestra Conductors, Opera Singers, substitute teachers, the list goes on and on.
Nice set of values you’ve got there, Democrats.
Sounds kinda like – what’s the word? – Oh yeah>>>>> FASCISTS.
Communists is the correct word
Fascist Communist
NATO wants the US to take the lead role and attack Russia
Make love, not war!
Just did
So, who ordered soldiers to hide in and attack from a nuclear power plant?
Who has soldiers hiding in cities?
Seems to me that war criminal applies here but not to Russia in this case.
Was told they were giving out klashnikovs to random civillians. Gang shootouts happened in kiev and then upu have the poor bastards that have the free gun but dont know how to safely use much less engage a military.
Zelensky regime wants to up civillian deaths as a desperate way to get US to invade ukraine.
Agree…THE PLAN>>>>>>>USA involvement.
Allegedly positioning mortars and similar weopons in residential areas for the same reason.
Either don’t take them out, and you suffer casualties, or take them out and be accused of “targeting innocent civilians”.
At this point, I have heard enough that I am NO FAN of Zelenski, at all.
It’s what the Palestinian terrorists do as well. It should be a war crime to do this.
Same as Muslims shooting from a mosque.
I thought the same thing when reading it. Taking their cue from the same people that have orchestrated the Palestinian ‘resistance’ for decades. Since this didn’t work perhaps hospitals and schools are not off the table.
Jim, come on, man.
Have you been hoodwinked by Russian propaganda on RT or something?
Does RT talk about the Shock and Awe tactics the Russians are using to level all the Ukrainian cities? No, they don’t. (Actually, I just found out they aren’t doing that, my bad.) But it doesn’t matter, Putin is a crazy man, don’t you see? Russia has no business in Ukraine, a sovereign nation. We had more business in Iraq (Saddam was crazy too), Syria (Assad was crazy too), Afghanistan (The Taliban was crazy too), you name it, we are right and there is American propaganda still in existence to prove it! Besides that, OUR intelligence agencies all agree Putin Bad! Putin Crazy! Russia has no business in Ukraine! Our intelligence agencies are right 99%, just look how well they called the Afghan pullout. They said the Afghani’s could hold out for at least a year with $85 BILLION worth of US equipment, and they were right! Now I must admit the time table was slightly off, but they were Right. WE ARE RIGHT, RUSSIA is RONG. There is no other way to look at it. The sooner we sweep Putin from the field, the sooner we can get on with the New World Order. Oh wait, I wasn’t supposed to say that part either, another my bad.
Unfortunately, RT is down. First Disqus dumped them, they now use Tolstoy Talk, then their certificates were revoked.
Impossible to connect, even with VPN.
Any suggestions?
Regular RT website is still up.
Surprised me too that RT is not foaming at the mouth like we are. And we were promised so much RT propaganda that they have to censor it!
But then I read how not giving propaganda was its own type of propaganda. So clearly RT is still brimming with Russia propagandizing by not propagandizing. Only an argument that an intellectual can make.
Relax, it will never happen.
Though the Joint Chiefs must be half in anticipation half in fear how the F35 will go in real combat vs the Su35.
Lol don’t forget about the Su 57.
“F-35 pulls in $100-120 million! And the Russian Su-57 is worth about $35-40 million,”
At least the F35 doesn’t have a contract add on toilet seats at $20k each
HUNTER FIRST!
Crack Hunter Biden and FJB
NOTHING is by accident and ALL by design.
The GOVT is the problem.
Politicians are the problem. WHAT have they EVER fixed or improved. How would they run for office IF THEY FIXED anything?
WAR is desired by everyone other than the American people, those with kids and grandkids to be sacrificed.
Ukraine CAN defend itself. So can Russia.
I don’t care.
America HAS NO biz in this war or in this situation.
HOW MANY politicians have ‘dealings’, past & present in Ukraine…just about every one and it comes cause the $$$ flow.
Junkets to Ukraine are a favorite pasttime of DC politicians.
PUTIN KNOWS the secrets of all these govt officials and politicians, most likely OR enough to know they are ALL TAINTED.
Ukraine is NOT IN NATO. Russia IS NOT IN NATO….
Lindsay , Hannity publicly calling for war, assassinations…listen to the hypocrisy.
WHAT DID Lindsay EVER investigate as cmtee chair, oh, he promised and he was going to and he was going to get to it…..and by God after 4Y NEVER did one thing….and NEVER HAS and NEVER WILL. Just like his buddy McCain, they LOVED Ukraine and THEY LOVE WARS.
Read today where the Ky teacher’s pension/retirement plan was in a RUSSIAN bank and has TANKED, from mega-millions to nothing?? Isn’t that amazing the Ky teacher’s pension are in a Russian bank??? Mitch…know anything about this??
Another rogue imposter along with wife, Elaine Chou…and wouldn’t be surprised one iota if NOT a spy for China along w/ her chinese family that deal for the chinese govt….
WHEN we WE HOLD CHINA ACCOUNTABLE, USA??????
After Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria… what did that Who song say… “Won’t get fooled again!”
I’m sad to admit I ever supported the Iraq War. 🙁
I’m glad to admit I NEVER supported the Patriot Act.
I knew we were had as soon as no WMD were aired the first week of Iraq.
I expected the pre-invasion to be on top of some of the WMD, precisely for justification if not actual threat removal.
More proof that the zelensky regime is evil
THAT ENTIRE regime is corrupt.
WHY else were they paying Hunter $millions and $millions….???
Share that around. One mob of corrupt slavs invade another mob of corrupt slavs.
Alas, accepting invasion as ok, is where some tiny future problems might arise.
Well everyone is hating Putin but loving Zelensky. Honestly Zelensky setting up for more civillian death, his constant selfies, and some of the most cring propoganda ive seen makes me want him to loose.
The only people i feel bad for ate the Ukrainian Civillians AND the Russian Civillians.
Ate?
The only people i feel bad for ate the Ukrainian Civillians AND the Russian Civillians.
Why? Because they will have indigestion?
There you go again. Show us a quote saying we approve of invasion.
If you strip away the lies and pejoratives, you actually don’t have anything to say.
More amusement.
Read the posts and comments from the start and do a count of “Putin not so bad, Ukraine sort of deserved it because Biden” comments, then you’ll get it.
More lies.
Putin not so bad does not equal invasion is OK.
By the way, NATO has formally announced they are following the sentiments expressed here. No troops, no fighting, no direct involvement.
We sympathize but we will not expend blood and treasure.
Bwaaa…..
Goal post shifting. No-one with any sense has suggested the US get involved militarily, you dunce.
If Biden wasn’t corruptly financially involved in Ukraine, if Biden wasn’t using the Russian invasion as cover for disastrous domestic energy policy, if Biden wasn’t using it as a distraction to slide away from the covid fraud…… take the Biden state out of the manipulation of this event you’d be be condemning the Russian invasion without reservation.
You start with a pejorative and end with a lie.
You are all worked up because we lack pathos.
Previously you attacked any investigation into the root causes leading to this invasion. You just wanted reaction to it. That is called gaslighting.
Our pathos is diminished because we know all the background actors involved and what they did. But here is the bottom line. Invasion is bad. The Ukrainian people deserve sympathy.
You want us to forget that the WEF/Soros/Global Left is an active party in this conflict. You are upset over the core of the main post which all about this issue and what it means regardless of the final outcome.
You conclude with a lie that we would react totally different if only Biden wasn’t involved. If Biden were to waive oil and gas regulations, we would support it even if the reasons for his actions were disputed. Your constant claims that this is nothing but partisanship is a flagrant lie.
” we lack pathos”.
Grow up.
This is about an invasion not about you emoting about corrupt Ukraine …… it’s still about bad Biden and his Deep State for you.
Taiwan will sort your lack of principle out.
I’ll leave it there.
Wow.
I’m emoting.
A good example of projection if I ever saw it.
But the U.S. is arming Islamic terrorists, and hiring merc companies, to fight a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. Like Turkey, the conduit this time is Poland. The West did it in Syria, ordered by the Obomber regime. So, if you don’t want to see masses of dead Ukrainians–better tell Zelenskiy to get to the negotiating table, forsaking his hideout in Poland.
What I get from you is your dishonest manipulation of quotes.
At 3:21 PM, today, in the blog from yesterday titled, “Alternative Views Verboten ….”, on page 1 and about halfway down, you left off the 1st 18 words in my sentence and started the sentence where I “agreed” with your viewpoint. You put quotation marks in front of the word”Red” as if that’s what I said! Your clever little ruse turns my meaning around 180 degrees.
My original quote is right above so anyone can see what I really said.
I am quite sure you know what an ellipsis is and how to use it.
“the sentence where I “agreed” with your viewpoint.”
That wasn’t my intention, you clearly didn’t.
It was a handy summary in your own words of what you refuse to recognise because Biden.
All you do is BS. The posts are there for anyone to see.
Hey now! Our tax dollars were used to install him.
Our tax dollars went to install Poroshenko. Zelensky beat out Poroshenko and he was a Soros/Kolomoisky play to crush Donbas and reconstitute Khazar around Sea of Azov
So, the US State Department operates as it’s own independent kingdom of sort pushing a war with Russia that both NATO and Biden say they don’t want!
State Department and CIA are inseparable.
And the CIA’s predecessor the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) also.
.
This kind of “construct”e seems to have been going on even prior to actions in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
.
The chummy relationship between State Department and CIA seems to be very longstanding.
I wonder, if Natasha was kidnapped and tortured, what secrets could she reveal???????? Asking for a friend. A Russian friend…
Who would want this clown leading their country? All the fear mongering and inaccurate information is just a sight to behold. I think that the people controlling Zelenskyy will eventually ‘can’ this dude when he’s outlived his purposes. Or, when there is no hope of success. If that doesn’t work, the mass media will suddenly “discover” his hidden financial assets in order to turn the NPC public against him, and then move on to the next Manchurian experiment.
Who doesn’t believe the plan is to bait the USA into this war???
My biggest concern was the nuke plant incident getting the attention of the IAEA. I don’t know much about them, but their aim seems legit.
“…world’s center for co-operation in the nuclear field and seeks to promote the safe, secure, and peaceful use of nuclear technologies.” Radiation, the devil we can’t see.
My other thoughts have always included that the cancers we have in the world are due to the vast MIC and/or industrial complex contaminants in our land, air, water, food and products we use.
I range of radioisotopes (airborne) would be carried throughout the european part of the world dependent on prevailing winds, weather…..ie…..if there were a release…you may pick up a wiff in Ireland, Portugal…hard to say….don’t know. You can bet your bottom dollar the russians are not going to let you into the area of the plant for portable air samples, taking contamination swipes for reading later…etc….etc…
Bottom line: a significant release will most like be picked up in an adjacent, or farther country, from ukraine.
The Chernobyl detectors europewide are still active.
But will they fake data?
He is the foregone martyr if he is actually still in Ukraine. Some intelligence reports are he is no longer there…what is true until he actually shows himself walking in Kiev in the damaged zones
He can go back to playing ‘dick piano.’ The guy has never been serious.
“The first casualty of war is truth.”
And the stories about the nuclear power plant are a perfect illustration of this old truism. I watched the varying tales drift out over the hours until they ultimately turned into nothingburgers.
I believe little in the propaganda I’m seeing … all the schools destroyed, the office buildings destroyed … the pictures are merely illustrative of the horrors of war … it’s a messy affair.
If you keep poking the bear, don’t be shocked and dismayed when the bear strikes back.
Been shown that many photos now being used are old and are not current…it’s all distraction and getting sympathy, $$$, NATO, USA drawn in…
With the friend of the bear, the Panda. The losers in this clash between the Communist and the Facists are the American people.
If you look closely at the video footage the trucks/equipment etc., looks like from the 70s/80s. If they are at war why did the Russians leave electricity/utilities intact? I’m guessing some of the footage is from the war in Bosnia/Serbia? A lot of what I see doesn’t make sense. Is Zelensky really in a green room studio like our fake president?
Watching the alignment of the WFF globalists and the US government in spreading bs makes it relatively easy to see why America is in a nose dive. The faster the eunuchs in the US government can destroy the nation, all the better for the new world order the WEF crowd wants.
And keeps HEAT OFF Biden and his downward spiral of the USA.
SENDING Harris to Europe….what a joke….
Send her to deal with Putin….gees…what a joke.
Knowing that our shiite CIA is likely orchestrating the narratives and stoking tensions makes me physically ill! I have come to despise our government, their global masters, and their contempt for our intelligence. We know that this kabuki theater is ALL designed for money and power. F*CK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM!!!!! Especially, that globohomo Lindsey Graham.
Don’t doubt for one second this is not true…history has shown and told us just that….
And? It’s Russia holding the threats of nukes if anyone else gets involved. The Ukraine is just try to get more help. Despite their ineptness Russia keeps advancing so it is just a matter of time. Then Putin can go after the rest of the old USSR to put it back together.
You should try to convince Western Europe of that. If they simply raised their defense spending to just 2-3% of GDP, they would have overwhelming superiority over Russia.
As for all the “stans”, they remain affiliated with Russia and so far the WEF hasn’t succeeded in figuring out how to get control over them (although there may have been an attempted “color” revolution in Kazakhstan).
Putin has NO aspirations to “put the old USSR back together”, although 15+ years of having his efforts at a post-cold war realignment rebuffed, having NATO continue to treat Russia as an enemy, militarily with advancing NATO to his doorstep, may have him teconsidering having a buffer zone of countries, between him and the West.
For the Cold War, Reagan won the War, and his succesors squandered and so lost the Peace.
Maybe the greatest military blunder since “Oh, look the Trojans left a horse outside the gates, as tribute! And,..its got WHEELS on it. Lets roll it inside, and have a PAAARRTTAY!”
I’m sure Germany will stop them. Germany has been fighting against the Russian threat forever.
Wait, that was the real Potus telling Germany not to get in bed with Russia and they did it anyway.
you sound like ms.linda…..
Nuke danger was running nonstop all late night-early morning today with constant background theme of Russia bad. At first it was a missile barrage, then it was an army assault with Russian soldiers firing on Ukrainian fire fighters, and now this.
I told my daughter this morning that it would take a helluva lot more than tank and small artillery fire to take out that reactor.
Half the tweets by the “U.S.” Embassy in Kyiv twitter account are in Ukrainian, a foreign language. Would not be surprised if the “U.S.” embassy is full of Alexander Vindmans – Ukrainian ex-pats representing the Ukraine while claiming to represent America.
…Windbags……..
“In other news, last night Russian Dictator Vladimir Putin hijacked the USS Maine in a bizarre plot to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand by ship propeller. After successfully killing the Archduke, Dictator Putin rammed the vessel into the Lusitania, sinking both ships. Moments later, Dictator Putin personally directed a series of war crimes which occurred at the foot of the Gleiwitz radio tower. Dictator Putin then disappeared after mumbling something about Baghdad and yellowcake.
CNN will continue to develop this breaking story.”
The HUMANITY!
LMAO!
Watched it on a live stream
A gun fight between Russians hiding behind armor vehicles and a administration building, no heavy bombs, some fire in the building
From a telegram channel I follow, the Ukrainians started the fire as they retreated. I have a feeling you will see an attempted scorched earth approach from this Ukrainian regime now that their objective has been crushed.
If Putin wanted to play hardball and devastate Ukrainian cities you’d be seeing this…
A Russian Katyusha Rocket barrage in WW II:
Look up the new and improved Katyushas: the TOS-1 and TOS-1A. They can incinerate thousands of square meters per salvo.
.
Tucker Carlson went whole hog on this last night.
.
I’ve got to counsel…. A small, small percentage watch Tucker. What seems like a succulent point is lost on the masses.
War Crimes … just the latest in the salvos being fired by the West – read: WEF. Ohhhhhhhhh mommaaaaaaaaaa !! They cry … Putin is guilty of War Crimes. That’s rich … coming from the country of shock and awe. My country. My shame.
Oh! and what about THE BURN PITS? Nancy was rubbing her fists together at the mere mention of THE BURN PITS. Isn’t that a War Crime? Or just another expense we the taxpayers have to cough up?
Are they referring to the burn pits where American service personnel were responsible for destroying Iraqui ordinance during the occupation of Iraq?
Ordinance and docs. Don’t forget the docs.
.
By the way. I would not put it past Ukraine to create a few disasters in order to peg them on Russia.
.
Falsth Flaggz iz conthpiraty theeree!
…and then her dentures flew out across the room….
I saw the article this morning in the WSJ about the power plant. I screamed BS right away and let the EB know it. Well what do you know? Its BS.
Zelenskyy really really wants a no- fly zone to kick of WW3. Just my opinion.
Probably just bad advice from Ukraines defense minister vindman.
The Russians will have their own no-fly zone without even kaunching an Su
S500
If serious people who don’t live in the Marvel or Hogwarts reality were in charge none of this would be happening. But, hey… when Zelensky was told no help was coming he had to find a work around. Zelensky is infinitely more dangerous and erratic than the man from Austria.
I’ll mention it again … on this mornings news … my local FOX affiliate newsreader claimed that Putin is strategically trying to STARVE Ukranians to death by targeting bakeries … and even bread trucks for annihilation. Yes, Putin is bombing … bread trucks. Seriously … who believes this ANY of the serial misinformation spewing out of the msm? Fox News and ALL its talking heads are THE WORSE !!!
War crimes … blowing up bread trucks to starve the people. Sheesh … how can supposed “Journalists” read this propaganda with a straight face?
COVID death, death, dying…is now over and need a new drum beat…
What’s scarier there are people who actually believe their bs. Too many people no longer possess critical thinking skills.
“… blowing up bread trucks to starve the people.”
Because that is EXACTLY what NATO would do, and they know it.
So “Mad Vlad” who has his troops recklessly firing at Nuclear power plant, is negotiating safe corridors for the evacuation of non-combatants.
Man, I hope even MORE people red pill, and recognise they are being manipulated as a result of this.
For some context,
have a read of this thread – it details how peaceful splitting of Ukraine could have been done , if it wasnt for Biden and Europe
The country has been effectively split for decades now, if not longer. Sometimes borders actually create themselves … spontaneously … as tribes gather together. Face REALITY … and stop with the FANTASY of “one world” … let alone “one nation”
Note: America is fracturing along similar lines. As is Canada … May everyone’s Tribe find peace among “their people”
Europeans.
Stop us before we kill each other.
Sorry. Still dont care.
Go to it.
Too late, you U.S. State Department Demon Possessed Cretins. We’ve known via the alternative Truth media, as soon as the original BS reports came out that the damage was to an administrative building, not the main plant. Nice try though….
I knew it last night. An office fire is not going to cause a reactor to melt down.
what proof do we have Zelensky is in Ukraine?
NOT trust our govt or news outlets, journalists???
I am seeing reports on “live” youtube sites he is in Poland, but who knows
He’s wearing a dirty t-shirt ?
its about to get cold West Ukraine. I’d bet a lot of money Zelensky is not in Ukraine due to the potential of his own people assassinating him to end this.
Zelensky, (the actor, comedian, dancer, puppet) wants to be a heroic martyr, and turn Kiev into Aleppo it seems.
The State Department is a cesspool.
Lotta good all their top diplomacy accomplished. By top diplomats. Career diplomats. Really … top … people
Drudge went “Full Drudge” with this last night. Most of us know Drudge has been nothing but clickbait for the uninformed masses for a very long time. Even so, last night he outdid himself.
Wow. I haven’t been to Druge in 6 years … and I was addicted to Drudge. I’m shocked to see someone reads it
I used to pop in on it once in while to just to see what kind of dead fish they were selling. Been at least a couple of years since the last visit. I don’t think Drudge even runs it anymore.
Always good to know what the con man is selling…
I am seeing the same pattern used against Putin as I saw against Trump
1) EVERYONE claims to know what is going on in Putins mind and knows his motivations
2) Putin is evil
3) The Walls are Closing in
4) every crazy theory is today’s headline and tomorrow’s retraction
based on the last 8 days
EVERY story that starts with a blaring headline has been found to be false … period … full stop … every single one …
for an army either bogged down, out of fuel/food or beset with bad morale they seem to have taken every military objective they have set their mind/forces to taking … in 8 days …
supposedly Ukraine had 170,000 active-duty troops and 100,000 reservists … vs 100k Russian troops …
And that dang 40 mile long convoy is bogged down outside Kyiv and it’s just a matter of hours before it is rolling again. How many days has this been going on.
Russians are employing both concentration of force and economy of force.
They’re encircling and crushing the Ukrainians.
=> Zelenskyy’s PANICKING.
A desperate lie then followed by more desperate attempt to backtrack from the lie draws an awful lot of attention to just how out of control these monsters truly have become.
Would America allow a Warsaw Pact to include Mexico or Canada? Why do we expect Russia to allow Ukraine into NATO?
Now you’ve done it.
You spoke sense.
Expect incoming from RINO grifters.
🤣🤣
I could care less about Ukraine, this is just another example of what a corrupt sh*thole it is.
Now, start drilling for oil in the US. This administration has the US economy on the brink of disaster. There is no time to waste on some regional conflict half way around the world.
The China Virus fear mongering narrative is dying on the vine as we speak. Even the NYC new idiot mayor is lifting all the “mandates” to “get back to normal”. (Thank you to the brave Canadian truckers who actually united the world against these medical tyrants) Funny how those bad poll numbers became a better vaccine than the mRNA poison. The “masks” are slipping. (pun intended)
Therefore, the permanent political class in the District of Corruption and around the so called “free world”, along with the WEF Great Reset Davos crowd, needed to create a new fear mongering narrative and diversion from their failing Covid control. Ukraine, Russia and beating the war drum is getting people all fired up, even before the old Covid crap is done. I SMH how many people of all political persuasions are quickly falling into this trap. Russia, Russia, Russia, but not a word about China or the Southern US border invasion.
Nonetheless, the articles and comments following here at the CTH are refreshing to see that many people are beginning to see the political puppet string and BS propaganda of network, world and cable news (including Fox) that help the tyrants push their dangerous distractions. Once seen, it can never be unseen if people would just use their brain, instead of emotions and turn off the eyeball in the middle of their room aka TV.
Biden and WEF want Ukraine as a toy, not a country. if they wanted Ukraine as a free country, they would hand back a few nukes, and say thats it. thats its folks.
Trying for another Gulf of Tonkin type ruse.
My niece, who is spawn of my brother in law is vomiting on fscebook that we need 8 dollar gas and we need to defend Ukraine borders!!!!
I’m glad we don’t do holidays with them, they are not salvageable, none of them.
And all these OLLLD 1960’s Boomer rejects who fought the VietNam War would happily start WWIII … and yeah … these OLD fools need an escalator … they’d fall down the stairs.
Everything we see from these traitorous slimeballs is complete BS.
History says that……..
the US State Department runs Ukraine.
Yes, apparently, according to expat Gonzales Lira, Ukraine is run by Ukrainian oligarch and US state dept. Gonzales lives in Ukraine (I think Sundance did a post on him, or at least on his twitter), and says Zelensky is a total puppet of Ukrainian oligarch, Kolomoisky, who lives in Switzerland and actually has 3 passports. He says Kolomoisky operates as a gangster (does business deals with his thugs having guns to people’s heads) and funds the Azov battalion of neo-nazis. Gonzales says Ukraine is being run by Kolomolisky and state dept crew of Victoria Nuland (married to PNAC neocon Robert Kagan, who brought us the Iraq war), Wendy Sherman,and Blinken. He talks about this in a video posted on his y/t Gonzales Lira channel with title “Punching Up, Zelensky, Kolomoisky, Ukraine, What’s going on”–he gets into the puppet masters controlling Zelensky and how he came to power at about 57 min. Says that Kolomoisky was the $$$ behind a TV show that starred Zelensky as a anti-corruption guy who became president.
Also,highly recommend listening the latest video with The Duran guys (on their youtube channel)–they have Gonzales on at about 39 min. It’s titled Russia, Ukraine and US sanctions target Iran.
And fwiw- George Webb has some interesting videos on his twitter about how Zelensky has a $34 million mansion in FL purchased for him by Ukrainian oligarchs Kolomoisky and Victor Pinchuk. Also says Ukrainian oligarchs bought Senile Joe a mansion in FL in 2015 as a reward for his help with the 2014 coup.
U.N. General Assembly, this morning, was echoing the State Department line.
Good gried, why would the Russians try to destroy a nuclear power plant? Talk about stupid. Not only would that injure their own troops , it would injure Russia and Russians living in the Ukraine.
Fear, gotta stoke the fear. Push the buttons of fear, hard.
The west is desperately looking for its Reichstag!
The west is desperately trying to hide past evidence of their activities in the Ukraine. Hopefully all of it will come out and it will be so interesting! 10% for the Big Guy!
If the Big Guy could figure out how to get his 10% from domestic natural resource production and distribution, he would have Hunter right on top of it.
It certainly explains Miss Lindsey hysterically calling for Putin’s assassination.
McMaster was on CNN this morning calling for the same thing, which makes him a FOOL. Even though it could be a happy result, it needs to be left unsaid.
Hannity was repeating it this afternoon, long after the story was debunked.
He will probably repeat it tonight.
I wish a caller to his show would ask if we should take in Ukrainian refugees, and, as he fumbled around trying to dodge the question, ask why he wanted Afghan refugees but doesn’t want Ukrainian refugees.
I just got home a while back. Radio was on station that had Hannity jabbering w/ a “former black ops intel guy.”
Hannity was once again advocating busting up the 40 mile long Russian convoy and wanted to know from the guy some ideas for successfully achieving that, giving no mind to the consequences.
Hannity is a stooge and a useful idiot. He is 1/1,000th the man that Tucker is.
If anyone believes that taking out Putin will result in any improvement, they are mistaken, IMHO.
If some fool does that, and can traced back to or is suspected to be from a western nation, I believe Russia will react very badly towards that nation, which ever it is.
Then there is the issue of who replaces Putin, and we (the western public) have no awareness of who has been deemed Putin’s successor in the event of his inability to serve for whatever reason. It could be someone far worse and more antagonistic towards the West than was Putin.
China wants a relationship with Russia and Putin or no will have one with it.
You can bet it would be someone worse and more antagonistic. That is automatic if Putin is whacked.
One name: Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand
How did that event work out for the world?
16 Million people dead!
pre=ABC
So far stupid obummer and bush doing regimes changes in other countries haven’t turned out so good. At least Putin seems to have some common sense. I’ll take a thug with common sense to what we have.
So far, I’d agree w/ you..
Putin may be evil but I GUARANTEE he is less evil than Soros, Biden, Obama and Hillary. Those meat puppets literally killed millions, subjugated billions and stole trillions while eviscerating human rights.
he, she, it (preferred pronouns) just had a bad case of the vapors and lost control of his keyboard.
It certainly wasn’t a very ladylike suggestion.
I can’t believe twitville has allowed this to stay up 🙄
Isn’t it a crime to encourage the assassination of a world leader? Especially by an elected government official. Anyone suggest to Ms. Lindsey that he, she or it just go do her, him or itself? Ms. Graham, being a U.S. Senator has a much better chance of getting close to said Communist Dictator than his General staff…..
Vlad has his FSB and 1000+ nukes and Lindsey wants WWIII –
Arrest Lindsey too
He needs to be immediately censured by the Senate for such reckless public comments. Maybe charge him with a Logan act violation.
Sundance (or anyone) — which news source has this part of the account?
I don’t see it in those AP links … you say “Reports indicated”, but which ‘reports’?
Reports indicated Ukraine defense forces fired RPG’s from the administrative building of the plant toward Russian soldiers.
The Russians returned fire toward the building, eliminated the Ukraine provocateurs, and took control over the plant. There was only one reactor working at the time, and no threat of radiation was ever present during the incident.
… to be clear, I’m asking where I can find the account of small-arms fire being exchanged, because on social media I’m seeing people with their hair on fire because “Putin BOMBED a nuclear plant”
Who needs facts?
Hair on fire?
Mission Accomplished!
Both The Duran and Alex Christoforou YT channels post several vids per day covering the war. Mostly they covered this aspect, but I haven’t been able to listen for the last few days so I can’t cite on in particular.
Nimrod I did some searching and found a Twitter video that seems to support the rpg from the admin building. But it’s pretty fast for a love stream security cam.
Anyway I do understand your dilemma and you will find some similar musing here as well as the video.
I will leave it to you to validate from here I feel lucky to have gotten this far

thanks, Truth, the ancillary discussion on that thread is informative
https://t.me/realCRP/3431
thx, MaineCoon, that’s closest to what I was looking for
I don’t think he has enough of a brain remaining to worry about ANYTHING.
If Soros, Biden, Obama, Hillary and the FAKE opposition of Bush and Romney are all for a war in Ukraine, you know it’s a manipulative pile of steaming lies.
I suspect Putin is primarily focused on eliminating the several Level 4 Bioweapons labs the US and Deep State run in Ukraine so they can’t release another plandemic from there at least.
Either our country’s “brain trust” in the military and strategic intelligence agencies are incompetent fools … or they WANT an excuse to NUKE Russia. Our government isn’t paying attention to HOW Putin is moving across Ukraine … carefully, strategically … maintaining power, water, sewer, internet … all of the infrastructure intact. Our government and their puppet media outlets are LYING to US. Big surprise, eh?
