Well, this is weird. After weeks of the horrible Putin narrative, Newsweek softens the tone, perhaps sees a larger landscape where Russia is working strategically though a plan and says, “Putin’s Bombers Could Devastate Ukraine but He’s Holding Back.” Wait, what?
According to the anonymous Newsweek sources – intelligence officials who fear speaking publicly for fear of severe repercussions – it would be very easy for Vladimir Putin to level the key cities and industries in Ukraine, but he’s not doing it.
The strategy Newsweek is seemingly beginning to admit is the same strategy Col Douglas Macgregor has been speaking about.
(Newsweek) – As destructive as the Ukraine war is, Russia is causing less damage and killing fewer civilians than it could, U.S. intelligence experts say.
Russia’s conduct in the brutal war tells a different story than the widely accepted view that Vladimir Putin is intent on demolishing Ukraine and inflicting maximum civilian damage—and it reveals the Russian leader’s strategic balancing act. […] Understanding the thinking behind Russia’s limited attacks could help map a path towards peace, experts say.
In nearly a month since Russia invaded, dozens of Ukrainian cities and towns have fallen, and the fight over the country’s largest cities continues. United Nations human rights specialists say that some 900 civilians have died in the fighting (U.S. intelligence puts that number at least five times UN estimates). About 6.5 million Ukrainians have also become internally displaced (15 percent of the entire population), half of them leaving the country to find safety.
“The destruction is massive,” a senior analyst working at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) tells Newsweek, “especially when compared with what Europeans and Americans are used to seeing.”
But, the analyst says, the damage associated with a contested ground war involving peer opponents shouldn’t blind people to what is really happening. (The analyst requested anonymity in order to speak about classified matters.) “The heart of Kyiv has barely been touched. And almost all of the long-range strikes have been aimed at military targets.” (read more)
What the article boils down to is an acceptance, albeit couched in the U.S/NATO narrative, that Vladimir Putin is working through a careful and methodical plan to eliminate –with extreme prejudice– one severe faction of the Ukraine military (Azov battalion Nazis), and yet carefully and surgically leave intact the areas of greatest population.
The capture of Ukraine, with as little damage as possible, while eliminating the elements with the connections to western government manipulation, appears to be the process. This, in addition to the removal of the Zelenskyy government, is what Macgregor has been pointing out from the beginning.
Putin seemingly plans to rebuild most of eastern Ukraine (closest to Russia) where a civil war has been ongoing for over a decade. That region is also the location of the most ultranationalist of the Ukraine forces, so the military targeting has been severe in that area.
With the sanctions and western intelligence efforts of the State Dept./CIA, and western economic group appearing to have little impact, perhaps the media is starting to realize the conflict in Ukraine is more complex and thought out than fits the current western media narrative.
Its the labs.
And also Azov battalion Nazis,
Ya know nazis being nazis and such.
“Its two, two, TWO mints in one!”
It is ALL the behavior the U.S. has been involved in in Ukraine, that was aimed at Putin; yes, the Azoz battalions, AND the biolabs the US, thru the State dept and CIA, were financing and training (Azoz battalions) and operating (biolabs).
No doubt the CIA was also attempting to run operations INTO Russia, ‘supporting/encouraging’ dissident groups, possibly working with $0r0$.
It all “ramped up” with the 2014 euromaiden engineered coup, however the biolab operation, ostensibly to destroy the old soviet bioweopons, but really to continue the research, had been going on since at least 2005.
It’s the Nukes…this is typical bloviating…of course Putin could do more damage … he has 500 nuclear warheads in the arsenal… They only bloviate when they want to shift a narrative as SD is highlighting…
Don’t worry cuz Joey’s got his finger on the button… he’ll know what to do!
What button is that? The button on the little girl’s blouse?
“..Joey’s got his finger on the button….” Careful there, Joey’s niece is 17 , and always keeps her belly button covered…always.
Suppose the demented Biden can meet European leaders long enough to not require a wardrobe change or befoul the air like he did to the Dutchess of Cornwell? What a complete embarrasment for our country.
Russia has 6,500 in her arsenal, not 500.
We have been prepped and conditioned by Mockingbird Media / deep state intel. ‘experts’ that Vlad is gonna do a ‘ Cyber-Attack ‘.
Globalists already held a mock cyber-polygon exercise, so the only question is when they will throw the switch …. and BLAME Putin ?
For me that’s an interesting question and possible.
The WEF took down they Cyber Polygon page for 2022 sometime mid to late February. No date was given for this year that I ever became aware of. Before they took the page down in part it said: “The next event will be announced very soon.” So if there is cyber interference, I’m going to be pretty skeptical about who is causing the disruption.
Here’s one take, link: World Economic Forum removes Cyber Polygon from its webpage – Are you ready for CYBER WAR? – Strange Sounds
” Please forget what we did ” ….. LOL
Plausible deniability or did they cancel it???? Who knows. But we do know what they did last year. Here’s the report, link: Cyber Polygon 2021 Results
✅️ ‘WHEN”??
I suppose you can consider whatever date is expedient for ANOTHER stolen and fraudulent election process.
Maybe they would like to extend the power of currently “installed”(so called elected) political class of easily corrupted Politicians and Bureaucracts.😵💫
That cyberattack would be have to be surgically targeted if meant to help the evildoers with the election.
They would have to do damage without compromising the Internet connections to all the voting machines.
A pretty problem…
Plus a lot of Hypersonics for fun.
Just as they partied maskless, telegraphing they had no fear of Covid, while encouraging the masses to have such fear,..
And bought mansions on the beach, while scaring the masses with CC causing oceans to rise,. .
IMHO, they have NO concern this confrontation with Putin will go Nuclear; its part of another scare campaign.
They would NOT be trying to escalate, and keep the conflict going, especially since denying Zelensky military aid, and encourage him to formally aknowledge what everyone KNOWS (Ukraine will NOT join NATO, and Dombass region WILL be seperate Republics) would stop the shooting and deescalate the situation.
Forget about the Nukes, its just part of the fear mongering, anda distraction.
Many of those multiple warheads
Russia has thousands.
A red herring, useful to both the Russians and Chinese as propaganda. What does it matter whether these labs are housed in Ukraine or Moldava?
Risk of leak or first-strike attack , not to mention offensive weapon treaty violation.
Putty may have figured well , if he has to go in and shut them down he may as well do several other objectives at the same time. Grab some land to keep and some to ‘ give back ‘ in negotiations.
sparrowHawk – good hypothesis & I think you are on to something…
I have not been following the details closely, but a friend said the same thing yesterday.
He thinks Putin is going after the military, biolabs, and banks.
The banks are key. He started this war against the globalists and that is where, I believe he believes (or does he already know), he will find their Achilles heel. Nothing I’d rather see than the financials that prove the trillions stolen by Western governments from their own people. Maybe it’s a fantasy, a delusional dream of mine. Maybe not. Time will tell.
And the money.
Rule #1: FOLLOW THE MONEY !!!
a) Who pays for the labs
b) Who profit$ from the labs?
India has now said it will buy gas in rubles and Russia has stated it will only sell to Europe in Rubles.
The dollar is now dead, and people need to understand what comes next.
https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/dollar-vs-ruble-russia-india-rupee-currency-deal-ukraine-sanctions-2022-3
Putin wants ‘unfriendly’ countries to pay for Russian gas in roubles https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/putin-says-russia-will-start-selling-gas-unfriendly-countries-roubles-2022-03-23/
“…people need to understand what comes next.”
I give up. What comes next?
Please let the the country in on your secret understanding so we can all be up to your speed.
Complete control of YOUR money comes next. Canadian trucker sanctions on steroids, is what comes next! CBDC will own you, and future generations in a way Orwell never even wrote about!
The dollar will start devaluing, slowly at first then faster over time.
The dollar devalues (globally and domestically) by the value of every trade transaction made in a non-dollar currency. The speed of the devaluation is directly connected to the speed of the shift in transactions made in non-dollar denominations.
Once all Russian trade is conducted in non-dollars, the value of the global dollar drops by the total amount of the Russian trade. Then India, then China, then Iran, then -quite possibly- all of OPEC.
Once the trillions in oil trade are done in a currency other than dollars, the speed of the decline increases almost exponentially.
You will see it here at home as bread rises from $5 to $7, to $10, to $20, to $40, to $80, to $160 per loaf. Apply that ratio to all products and then eventually services.
To stop the collapse, we might predict the western governments will assemble and trigger a digital currency.
Thank you, Sundance. I have been very emotional these past months. We have been betrayed, and people still don’t fully grasp the danger we are in.
They didn’t blatantly steal the US presidency because their intentions were good.
They haven’t concealed it either, because they knew they wouldn’t have to! If only 30 million had turned up in DC on January 6th.
January 6 was too soon if the backward gazing fantasy involves something kinetic.
Violence is what the Globalists who orchestrated the color revolution coup wanted and had war gamed.
They were shocked and enraged that neither PDJT or his followers took their violence bait.
Better still, since leaving DC for the Winter White House, madlad President Trump has been using their color revolution playbook to oust them. Its fascinating to watch and great fun to be a part of it.
What Sundance describes, may very well be their PLAN.
However, no warplan survives first contact with the enemy,..their ‘plans’ haven’t worked 100 percent, so far.
These individual entities ARE evil, but they are NOT very bright, certainly not nearly as intelligent as they give themselves credit for being,..and their words and actions regularly display a lack of contact with REALITY.
They WILL try, I am not sure they will be succesful, and expect them to continue to run into unintended consequences.
In any planning, there are the things you know (or think you know) the things you know that you don’t know, and the THINGS YOU DON’T KNOW, THAT YOU DON’T KNOW.
You can plan for the first, and even the second, but it is humanly impossible, to plan for the third.
And, these people consistently exhibit a lack of “plan b” thinking.
DJT took them by surprise, and continued to befuddle them.
The Truckers Convoy, in Canada likewise was something they were totally unprepared for.
Both forced the enemy to expose its true nature, greatly expanding our resistance membership, Worldwide.
They have CONTROL, they don’t have POWER. They ARE highly vulnerable.
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.
– Mike Tyson
One issue they face is fiat currency is based on faith and trust. In short their is none so something will move into replace it. Digital currencies are just more of the same. In essence our currency is already digital what percent of transactions or holdings are actually represented by actual bills?
That said barter will have a place food, bullets and silver. But that is to cumbersome society always move to a currency of some kind perhaps it will be digital but it will be controlled by the same as wipes that brought us here
“It will be controlled by the same ass wipes”.
Fortunately President Trump disagrees with your gloomy guess. So do I.
Since our ” movie” is interactive, I’m praying that President Trumps MAGA vision prevails and using my presents to help him win this war.
“These individual entities ARE evil, but they are NOT very bright, certainly not nearly as intelligent as they give themselves credit for being,..and their words and actions regularly display a lack of contact with REALITY.”
^^^^^^^^^^ THAT ^^^^^^^ times one trillion.
One option IS doom. That’s obviously what Team Evil wants.
Fortunately, there is another, far smarter Team that loves America and are determined to thwart the NWO psychopaths.
While things will get bumpy, this is a fascinating time to be alive and I’ve never been so optimistic.
What would one do different to date if the goal was a Central Bank controlled digital currency?
This is where we are at.
The Great Reset looms over the horizon.
Everything will go to poop.
I selected uranium as my escape route. I foresee that instead of building dams as in the last depression, this depression will most likely see Nuke plants as public works projects. Uranium probably has less commodity downside due to loss of industrial use in a depression.
The best option for me was CCJ and also Sprott has a vehicle.
Because it is an easy sell, I foresee a lot of promotion going forward.
Maybe I should be looking at a career as a engineer involved in the nuclear industry.
Something to ponder.
I always look for the money. What was climate change all about? Somebody was dumping money to demonize carbon. There was only bunk science. The push was likely emanating from the WEF. The only option was nuke.
The cry now will move to Russia is bad so we must now go to nuke because Russia. IMO it was a nuke promotion all along, but they needed to change public perception.
We could even see nuke moving to ocean transport for main routes.
It would probably be a great field to explore.
On a side note.
It brings perspective on who controls the greatest known reserves of uranium ore.
High on the list in no particular order include Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan. There are a few others I did not immediately think of.
Lots of Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs, Blackrock and Vanguard along with Larry Fink, Nancy Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer and Nadler are invested up to their eyeballs in Climate Change stocks like Tesla and RIVIAN.
1. Obama, John Kerry, Bill Gates and Joe Biden have all purchased $15 to $40 million beachfront homes on the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean in the past two years.
2. Homes that according to the scientists at the NYT were supposed to be underwater by now.
3. Oceanfront homes in The Hamptons sell for $20 million before the ink is dry on the real estate
listing.
4. Southern California beachfront towns have homes breaking new price records every day.
5. New York was reported to be building dikes around Manhattan to keep the ocean out. Do you see any dikes?
The whole Climate Change narrative is a terrible hoax!
I thought Blackrock was mainly in real estate – that previously was owned by displaced American citizens.
I selected lead and the corresponding delivery system. That trumps all other metals.
Good one.
Lead doesn’t penetrate armor whereas I understand spent uranium does.
I have selected AMMUNITION.
I bet when $ is worthless as a currency, I’ll be able to trade ammunition for food, whereas trading gold, or uranium,….?
Good luck with that!
For starters, the conversion rate from USD to the digital currency is going to be a major issue. Maybe 1 widget of digital currency which you will now be forced to transact in will cost an equivalent of $10 USD.
It will be like when all the sovereign currencies of Europe converted to the Euro and prices went up instantly across all of Europe.
It’s the conversion that is going to kill all of us.
“Its going to kill us”. What a gloomy guess. President Trump, on the other hand, is full of optimism.
Rather than feeling dread, perhaps embrace this glorious adventure with excitement and prep for the transition from dark to Light?
Its amazing how many opiners seem to believe that the CBs Great Reset is the ONLY Great Reset option.
Obviously its NOT.
The CB is being hoist on their own petard. Some obviously are starting to realize it.
Meep Meep.
#RoadRunnerTrump
Who are “the CBs”?
I suggested the conversion to a digital currency in response to a crashing dollar on another site and I was chided that it could not happen.
Well whadaya know!
Wow a site of stupid people. Was this the idiots for Biden site?
“Could happen” =/= will happen.
Do you have anything other than your hunch to back that up?
You gotta be kidding…
Winston is a long time troll on here.
Winston, if it’s the same Winston, has been here a long time. Not as long as Corvairs were made, 10 years, but probably as long as they made Lakewoods?
Questioners are trolls?
Clearly that is someone who has outsourced their intellect to MSM.
Markets being markets…. the dollar losing value means that US assets also become “cheaper” for non domestic owners..so the collapse will be softened by their converting rubles to $ to buy our oil fields, golf courses, steel producers, farm land…. we will own nothing and be happy !!!
And this is only the beginning. It is not clear that the Chinese economy, already rocky, can survive the collapse of its US market. Equally, it is not clear that the US will still be able to project power around the world. I take it as a given that NATO will perish, but it remains unclear whether the EU will be destroyed along the way, or emerge in a stronger, more consolidated form.
If that is the expectation, then currency traders will front run the expectation accelerating the fall.
Soros will be at the front of the pack.
Yes, at the front of the pack of wolves and hyenas.
When I see packs of hyenas and jackals I also see them being handily routed by a Lion.
From the beginning of our adventure, what has been Trumps iconic symbol?
Coincidence? Imo, no.
Serious question: I’m speaking of U.S. paper currency here, my understanding is that the $100 bill represents 80% of all of the paper dollars in circulation globally and somewhere between 60% – 80% of $100 bills is held outside of the United States (some small countries base their entire economy and wealth on holding the U.S. C-note).
What will be the response from the foreign holders of these $100 bills be once the devaluation begins? Is this where the creation / installation of a digital currency takes place?
Any thoughts?
Digital currency is the NWO psychopaths option.
After all that’s happened since 2015 (and loooong before) do you still imagine the NWO is the only side in this world war?
How will this affect the price of gold, silver and other precious metals?
I have been watching them and have been very surprised that they are not skyrocketing and have not been doing so in January of last year.
My only guess is that they are being controlled somehow to an artificially low level – but I have no idea how or by whom…
Sundance….I am really worried about a digital dollar. Do you think that the government will force everyone to hold only digital dollars or will anyone who holds dollars still be able to use them?
Should we be cashing out accounts to hold cash or would that cash be worthless under the circumstances?
IMHO, “cash out” accounts, gradually,..convert the $ into tangible assets that are likely to hold value, in relation to OTHER tangible assets, and be good items for barter.
Such items should be universally recognised as having value, hard to counterfeit, and easily divisible.
AMMUNITION is my choice, as meeting all 3 qualities.
Good tools would be another option, but not always easily divisible.
Also, things which are difficult to produce, locally or under “self-sufficiency” situation,. and that can be stored, long term.
Tobacco CAN store long term, if purchased in cans, and tobacco addicts will prize it highly.
Chocolate is another.
Possibly manufactured whiskey; although you can make “home brew” moonshine,..a taste of “the real stuff” will be extremely valuable to some people,…
*raises hand*
I may have the chocolate covered. 🤣 I thought the somewhat amazing amount I have built up was too much – but hadn’t thought of barter. Thanks for the idea.
Coffee also, I hope…
I have had the same concerns as you and from what I have been reading, here and elsewhere cash as it is now, will be worthless.
I don’t know if you have children, but, the novel 1984 by George Orwell was mandatory study in Grade 4. It is now studied in more depth at Universities.
I am just sick about this whole thing,. Not for me but, my children and grandchildren.
They will eventually mandate that all transactions occur in the new digital currency as of a certain date, and that the USD is worthless except for conversion to the digital currency. It will be akin to the deadline for all of Europe to convert their sovereign currencies into Euros. After that deadline, no sovereign currency was acceptable for trade.
Wanting to mandate =/= being able to mandate.
We are in a REAL war to Save America. The winners will decide whether the NWOs mandates will actually happen or whether Trumps MAGA vision will prevail.
Hopefully people are praying and doing what President Trump asked them to do.

I am spending down my cash to some extent, and putting it into my house and other large purchases that look to become more expensive in the future.
Also into a stock of non-perishable food. I’m far from a prepper but I have tried to make some small changes as best I could figure it out.
Hey by the way – I haven’t yet looked into patriotfoodsupply, do intend to research it. But anybody who has – does anybody happen to have an answer on two things?
1) Is it high in sugar? I control my tendency towards diabetes without drugs, so that is something I keep in mind, though I know it sounds stupid in the face of possible starvation…
2) What does it taste like? Just curious.
Seems like we will soon be seeing Mr. Soros do his play in the same manner he crashed the British pound way back when.
No doubt a stupid question, but why can’t we just break away from the Federal Gov into individual states and create our own currency and trade within our own boundaries?
That is called a parallel economy and it will be the natural result. I just traded a beef for some electrical service work. I’ve been operating like that for years. Eff those SOB’s. They’ll play hell trying to pull their BS in flyover country. The cities are already an accident looking for a place to happen. When SHTF flyover country is the place to be.
If you have any more preparation advice that would be great. I can’t express how much I appreciate what you have shared with us. Thank you
A digital currency means everybody is then a Canadian Trucker.
With a little less chrome.
Exactly 💯
Thank you Sundance for all you do and share.
Thanks for this excellent explanation, sundance!
But now I need to learn how in the world a digital currency could stop the collapse… I am too ignorant to understand that part…
Dollars, which used to be held overseas for foreign transaction denominated in dollars will be returned to the United States. The nation-states and banks that hold dollars will have less need of them, you see. Therefore, the supply of dollars here in the United States will grow. That will prove inflationary, as the increase of the currency base domestically is (in the real world and not hypothetical examples) always inflationary.
That growing inflation, relative to other countries will no longer be as exportable as it was when everybody was using dollars for international trade. Therefore, dollars will be worth less in a world in which a very large dollar amount of what the U.S. consumes is bought from overseas. That means most everything you purchase will be more expensive.
Good news: In 10-15 years a lot of the US manufacturing base will be returned to the United States.
Bad news: Most Americans will have experienced a reversion to the world economic mean.*
*This is what Ricardian trade requires, btw. It was always unstated but it was always lurking. It means rich countries will get poorer. And there is little evidence poor countries will get richer.
You are focused on the “income effects” to the current accounts which is very real and true.
See comment above related to asset values. They will convert their now more valuable rubles to $ in order to buy our discounted assets… Remember Japan in the 80s buying up trophy real estate??
While it may seem cheap to the Russians and others, doesn’t that mean real estate will initially go up?
Sure, I could have written a lot more and provided citations to academic articles. But I figure Johnny Dollar didn’t need all that.
The most important thing I typed was that the United States has been able to export its inflation due to dollar denominated international transactions, I think. And to the same extent we have exported price stability to the world – something the third world is going to miss A LOT!
Good point about manufacturing coming home. Costs will skyrocket commensurate with the American consumer’s insistence on continuing to buy goods produced abroad even as, a year from now, a loaf of bread is going for $90. Things will return to a semblance of normality once domestic reversion has proceeded far enough to allow us to stop sucking on foreign teat. Since we have to suffer 3 more years of Biden, at a minimum this is going to take 12-15 years. Of course, a conventional global war would speed things up a bit, just as it did in 1942.
The American consumer does not insist on buying goods produced abroad.
Many never pay attention.
However, the fact is that insisting on Made in USA is difficult and takes work. I have done as much of it as I can in retirement.
I can’t imagine how difficult it must be for normal people trying to hold down increasingly poorly paid jobs and bringing up children. One of my good MAGA friends is in that boat – works her tail off. She stays pretty plugged in, in spite of it, and our little circle helps her. But I doubt she has time or extra $$ to shop online to find the rare made-in-usa options.
WEF wants everyone poor and reduced to serfsom status except the “elect few” = themselves and their family+ pals.
Yes, the most evil and perverted of the population. The genuine and original useless eaters.
I imagine a lot of immigrantion will return to their own countries as well
Well – that’s a nice thought!
I’ll take a crack at it.
The dollar declines in value against all major currencies and the demand for dollars collapses.
Countries start dropping the dollar as a reserve currency adding less demand.
The price of imports increases as the value of the dollar decreases. Eventually the USA can’t finance its trade deficit.
USA assets start to be purchased by foreigners with all the dollars overseas being repatriated.
Inflation soars and interest rates rise to levels unseen.
The US Government must print money at greater rate to pay the interest on the public debt.
Hyperinflation.
Civil war.
This time I hope it is the politicians who are killed rather than the citizens.
A LOT more folks than just politicians need to bite the dust.
I think the Civil War part can be moved up about 6 spots on your list.
You are assuming we will pay our debts . My guess is we will hold a strong military in at least the short run and tell everybody to bugger off. If there is no faith and credit in our currency then their is no reason to pay debt. RESET.
Keep in mind the WEF is not holding oil Or rubles..Mostly they are holding assets valued on dollars . So in truth I don’t know how it plays out or if their strangle hold on markets twists everything. As Sundance points out their is no global free trade .
Will the dollar game be any different.Do they destroy the dollar or just make money selling short?
I too can’t imagine the USA under Xiden paying any debts.
And truth be told, I can’t imagine it under PDJT either if he gets back in.
Again, as with illegal aliens hightailing it back out of here – that may be a silver lining. So much to attempt to anticipate…
The dollar is the world’s reserve currency, lubricating the SWIFT system. It is this, and this alone, that has allowed the FED to create tens of trillions of dollars that have nothing tangible behind them. Once these dollars are no longer used internationally, they will be coming home. The hyperinflation that will follow almost instantly is on the order of Zimbabwe. The country will collapse in a matter of weeks.
“The country will collapse in a matter of weeks”.
That’s what the NWO/WEF wants. Fortunately there are those who have been very focused on ensuring that these psychopaths do NOT get what they want.
#SaveAmerica #MAGA,A
Soros makes his money on down economies. Soros has been very vocal about the US increasing its involvement in the conflict…you know stand with Ukraine and all that. Imagine how much Soros can make on a down economy the size of America’s?
And yet, for all the money he could make, none of it will extend his life for even a single minute.
Satan’s been doing that.
And it won’t keep him from going straight to the bottom rung of hell.
Is there an elite circle of hell?
The end of the American Empire? Doomsday? The further rise of China? Hunger and chaos? A chance to become a constitutional republic again? That you eventually will change your nick to Johnny Ruble?
All the above?
In Norway where I live it was just revealed that we import more than 90% of the fuel we use so even if we are a big oil and gas exporter we hardly refine it ourselves.
We have foodstuffs in storage for just a few weeks not even months and the big silos that used to contain wheat for a year or so during the cold war have been turned into art galleries or fancy apartments or student lodgings… or demolished.
A nation that could mobilize +300 thousand to defend the country in the early 90s now have a few battallions of professionals that can go with you to some desert if called…but unlike in the 90s we now have field imams alongside the field priests I remember from that time…no joke.
I cant say what comes next or what he meant but I believe the broader western world are facing some very rude awakenings now, and I think the ruling classes of the same west are going to keep pushing windmills, woke and gender-bender stuff at us…
In Sweden the MSM are finally talking about the costs of refugees and mass immigration, after all these years it took ukrainian refugees to make that happen, I suppose they have the wrong colour and/or religion?
(…further rant, rave…)
Take care 😎
Politically, look for a replay of the 1930’s here. Hungry people don’t care about constitutional niceties, so the economic downturn that is coming will open a lot of doors for dictatorial strong men to take over. Think Hitler, who has never received the credit that he deserves for rebuilding the German economy.
And look for wars … a lot of them, and some in the most unexpected of places. It’s all about energy and farmland.
I have posted this before. For the benefit of those who haven’t seen it …
When the Music Stops: How America’s Cities May Explode In Violence, by Matt Bracken
https://www.americanpartisan.org/2020/05/when-the-music-stops-how-americas-cities-may-explode-in-violence/
Excellent article. I read it when Matt Bracken posted it on another site (which was de-platformed), so he reposted it on another site.
Pretty much as I envision it. Probably the same for most people who have thought it through. Nonetheless, thanks for sharing. Always good to get a little reinforcement/confirmation. How many rounds are enough? Every extra thousand seems comforting but not for long.
President Trump ran on and was elected to “end the American empire”.
I’m astonished by the progress thats been made so far on this key campaign promise.
Thanks for this information. I have an American expat friend living in Norway.
He is on the other side politically, or he was, but who knows what the Fourth Turning has brought or still will… if he shows signs of awakening, it would be a small personal signal…
The fit is going to hit the shan when Americans start understanding the real reason their standard of living is rapidly declining. Frankly, the consequences of losing reserve currency may be the only thing that can stop the plans of the WEF.
The fed has no good solution, massive inflation or massive deflation.
“The dollar is now dead, and people need to understand what comes next.”

Don’t you have something better to do? Like go get your fourth booster?
Yes, the formerly “Great” Britain.
Powerless, broke, and awash in Muslim immigration.
Remember “sound as a pound?”
US dollar will soon be toast, thanks to the commies with- and under- JoeBama.
What really props up the dollar is the US military and its tentacles throughout the world.
Take away the economics of the petrodollar and Brettonwoods (which has been happening for a while),
land all that’s left is the threat of military intervention.
We are a bully. And have been since 1945.
And now we can see what happens when that reputation begins to fade.
Whats left to do? The math has always been there. Triffins Paradox, anybody?
Its looking like game over for the dollar, unless the insane clowns want to start WW3.
I couldn’t believe my eyes that some in the UK are paying $2000 month electric bills!
On India,…I wonder.
India is doing whats best for India, of coarse.
India distributed those packets of pills, in ONE province with a population of the U.S., and stopped COVID in its tracks.
They were then under INTENSE pressureto NOT disclose what was IN the packets.
Although we all suspected, Dr. Malone had a collegue IN India, go to the province, recover a packet, and text photos of it to Malone, to confirm.
My point is, even though India govt officials aquiesced, WHAT must they have thought, at having such pressure brought to bear, to suppress life saving information?
IS this perhaps a “red-pill” moment, when they decided to side AGAINST the “Western govt’s” that were “all in” on the Covid narrative, and are now all in on “Putin bad/Zalensky hero”?
Just speculating,…
Almost certainly India has lost trust in US gov. since PDJT’s departure and is a factor;
I rate your theory as “plausible” it is a primary, up front concern and directly plays into India’s policy decisions.
This is quite interesting.
He is really fired up and emotional about what he found on that laptop.
https://rumble.com/vy50ij-march-22-2022-hunter-bidens-laptop-from-hell-with-jack-maxey-is-the-end-of-.html
Watching it right now. Another friend had sent to me. Only problem is the dirty FBI will never let the info out. They’ve had that laptop for a couple of years now.
He addresses that. He is going to all the sheriffs aound the country. No FBI because they are all involved in this criminal cabal.
until the FBI decides they need to remove Brandon, that scenario is far from unthinkable.
There are a number of sober, well informed military and intelligence personnel who have brought forth this view over the past days and weeks.
Another media/deep state narrative fracturing here?
Ok, Col. Macgregor’s observations always seemed to be closer to reality (and to what Putin said or implied in his 2 hour speech a few weeks back) but I honestly do not believe this is where the UniMedia narrative will settle. It’s a moving target for them right now, and the “Putin’s a Bogeyman” version wasn’t selling as well as the Cabal wanted.
We may yet see a few more narrative marketing “tests” until they discover which narrative produces the desired results….
Meanwhile Putin will continue doing what he had planned to do.
I think the media is starting to realize that nobody really cares about the story other than some virtue signaling or whining about a “threat to democracy” in one of the most corrupt nations on the planet.
The narrative is up and it is time to find a new crisis to deflect attention from the real crisis which is the Biden economic policies that are crippling the economy.
Covid is over, Ukraine petered out, anyone want to take a shot at the next crisis?
Sure. The operative word is in your last line.
Shot.
For a new and deadly, and highly contagious virus.
I’ll take “Cyber Polygon” for 500, Alex…
Cyber Polygon (blamed on Russia) will be used to deem our 2022 elections null and void after the elections are held due to hacking.
The result of our 2022 elections will be declared by our government as being hacked by Russia with no ability to sort out the legitimate votes. Thus, all previous officeholders from the 2020 election will remain in office until the 2024 election.
Lol. Do you imagine Trump hasnt known about and has counters for muh Cyber Polygon?
He has.
We can help by spreading the word about cyber false flags that they’ll try to pin on Russia.
Any internet outage will be short lived but eternally mocked.
Alien (from space) invasion. The woke bought in to the Vid narrative, so likely they’ll believe it.
War of the Worlds II.
There is only one crisis, and that is hyperinflation. Everything else is kabuki theater.
Keep an eye on the Fed. Powell knows that the collapse of the petrodollar has to be offset by reducing demand here at home, and the only tool left in the box is multiple rate increases to trigger a deep recession.
Cyber attack on our elections (by our own intelligence operatives but blamed on the Russians )………2022 elections suspended.
They WILL bring back the “Russian interference in the elections” narrative they rolled out for 2016, then conveniently dropped for 2020’s “most secure election” and will roll out again, for 2022 and 2024, and use it as justification for a Federal takeover of elections.
And, sure probably cyber attacks BLAMED on Russia, (confirmed by Crowdstrike, mayhaps?).
Cyber attacks will greatly inconvenience Americans, so as to increase Putin anger,..AND as justification for the Russia/election narrative.
With that, they PROBABLY don’t think they NEED another virus,..remember, the election fraud in 2020 got PDJT out of Oval, but BARELY gave Dems “majority” in Congress.
As long as Rinos control the Republicon party, Dems have nothing to fear from a “red wave”; its just Uniparty tag-team, business as usual.
“As long as RINOs control the Republican party”.
Hence President Trumps recent marching orders to those fighting to Save America.

We have already been out into the next crisis, although it’s not quite on top of us yet.
The crisis is – food and petroleum based fuel shortages. Diesel is the new target by the Green Totalitarians. Diesel is what a very large percentage of all semi trucks require. Trucks haul the overwhelming percentage of interstate non-bulk freight including food from distribution points to retail outlets. Trains haul large quantities of bulk commodities from origins to processing facilities AND to ports. Trains require diesel too.
See this quick chart for the relative amounts carried by each mode of transportation….

People ae starting to come out of their shock and are forced to live it. I guess they thought of it as a passing fad. However, now that it is sinking in a lot of mumbling and grumbling going on.
Not all Democrats are Libtards. They are the dumb and stupid now at the point of thinking “something wrong”.
Had a funny conversation on the beach yesterday when I ran into an old liberal friend from Gainesville. Hoping to hear him admit he was wrong about Xiden and the direction of the country. He was reading a book “The courage to be disliked” – let me tell you, I still dislike him.
He is “at peace” with the direction of the country. At PEACE!!! Too many of those people are incurably ill.
They lack judgment, rationale, commonsense, If they did it is impossible to be a Libtard. Think of it as a handicap no different than a one arm wallpaper hanger.
Your friend is at “peace”, but actually he is at dumb and stupid.
Yeah, we’re in sync. He’s a hopeless mutant. I knew where his head was (up his arse) just seeing the book, before he ever spoke.
Like the kids in car reference. So true.
War must pay in some way: it is really that simple!
The Civil War might seem to contradict that idea: was it not completely altruistic to free the slaves?
No, it was not just about slavery, but about keeping a large part of the country in the country for taxation…and to prevent it from coming under any other jurisdiction.
The 18th-century British government found out the hard way: keeping the colonies and going to war to keep them eventually did not seem economically feasible.
Yes, obviously, capturing a country intact is much more lucrative than capturing corpses and rubble.
Hypersonic is the key, can’t be detected just run some troops in over the border and poof they are gone, how you going to explain not bio not nuke, while our military was removing missiles in gender surgery Putin and Xi passing us in warfare equipment so bad we need parts from the enemy now.
Maybe the dangerously demented comments from the Biden regime have frightened people.
The government’s continuous war chants, up to and including talk of nuclear weapons, have opened some eyes. What they’re seeing in Ukraine perhaps doesn’t add up to the insanity raging within the walls of the DC cong-rats.
That, coupled with fear of the economy, gas and food prices, and the terrifying speech Biden gave Monday, may finally have unintended consequences. No matter how left of center people are politically, they still have a desire for self preservation.
Can we get a letter from 50 US Intelligence agents explaining what’s going on. We can then rule that narrative out and examine others.
Why would a letter from 50 US Intelligence agencies be better than one when they are almost certainly of like mind?
Completely redundant when they are all ideologically aligned.
I mean it’ll be a lie, like Hunter Bidens laptop being Russian disinformation.
Noted, but it will definitely come down to us reading between the lines to determine as much certainly.
The map above do not show Transnistria, the eastern bank of the Dniestr river in Moldova that has been under ethnic russian separatist control ever since the end of the USSR, roughly 30 years now.
On some maps I have seen it appears that they are moving across the border into Ukraine, on others not, news are scarce.
If I remember correctly they still have the hammer and sickle on their flag…
Putin will keep the Russian part of Ukraine & let the EU/multinationals choke on the Western half. Russia gets the industries, the Black Sea coast, the grain basket. The EU gets the leftovers; only after the Azov and rest of Ukraine miliary and their assets are destroyed. A neutral, neutered neighbor, as opposed to a CIA funded corruptistan attempting to make trouble on Russia’s western boundary. Kind of like Mexico’s border with the US, but the stupid, corrupt America-hating DC Uniparty could care less if the whole world comes across the US border; we’ll give them $5000 welcome Visa/MC cash cards to get them settled near local Walmart stores.
Good chance that after Mariupol falls, Odessa is next, then on to the Moldovan border incorporating Transnistria.
Putin can stop at Odessa
It is very much in Russia’s interest to leave what’s left of Ukraine land locked.
Biden and the media (Foxnews included) were able to goad Republicans (and Trump) into supporting a deliberate destruction of the dollar as reserve currency through their reflexive Putin hatred and obsession.
Next up? Could be a massive Russian hacking 9/11 false flag to begin the final war on internal dissidents under the guise that we are all Russian supporters, which… Perhaps we are? Could be wrong, hope I am wrong.
Goaded Trump? 😂😂😂
One of Trumps goals has always been to end the FED ie the Globalists private banking system.
As they say on /pol/ with a Ron Paul meme, “Its Happening!!!!”
Remember Trumps many very public references to Andrew Jackson during his first month in the WH?
His messages were sent and received by many, but obviously not all, of his supporters and adversaries.
Perhaps rewatch the famous You Tube video titled “This video will get Trump elected”. Hindsight can provide clearer sight.
It’s science, military science. You mean there’s something other than a binary choice. There’s some treatments that aren’t gene thearpy? There’s some setting in the middle between Ukraine angelic, Russia demonic?
With fascism sharply ascending, the strong leader will become the paradigm in what the Left wants.
If not democracy, then what?
The bogus winner Biden now serves them mainly to demonstrate the essential flaws in democracy.
Something else, something better must follow.
Biden understands what they want from him, as he denigrates our Constitution. But the adult diapers don’t exactly sell the tough guy act.
Look for a tough young black woman to be the ascending star in the new fascist Democrat Party. Every big city mayor seems to be auditioning for the role.
Rush Limbaugh warned, over and over, that the Democrats are fed up with democracy. Mike Lindell is a beautiful man for continuing the noble fight to certify that the 2020 election was a hoax. When he’s done, when he wins the battle, the Democrat will win the war, and steal the 2024 election.
It will be very hard to keep Trump out of the WH in ’24, because people will place their faith in a seasoned businessman rather than the usual political hacks. If Trump were younger, I would expect him to become President for life. Would Don, Jr. be a satisfactory substitute?
“Democrats will win the war and steal the 2024 election”.
Another psychic doomer appears? 😂😂😂
Keep repeating that gloomy guess over and over again. With enough repetitions it may come true.
However, I prefer President Trumps predictions and will use my time and energy to make his predictions come true.

Perhaps the media is beginning to realize the “Who has the Better Story” campaign is beginning to fall apart since the telling supposed “Better Story” involves making martyrs out of Nazis.
I see a lot of other explanations here. I don’t think there’s one right answer, or that any of them are wrong.
If the slide away from the petro-dollar has in fact been triggered the main strategic objective of stoking a Russian-Ukranian war has been achieved which was to both accelerate and blame an economic crisis in the West. Knowing they cannot, do not want to, and do not need to, actually remove Putin it is time to begin reprogramming the masses away from the Putin is Hitler narrative.
One guess made by Alexander Mercouris on The Duran at bitchute.com was intriguing.
He suggested that since the hoped for outcome of destroying Putin was obviously NOT going to work they’d need an escape/scapegoat for the huuuuge mess they’d created.
He speculated that scapegoat could be Resident Biden. That would explain why Hunters Laptop from Hell is now acknowledged.
Sample narrative? OMG Biden was totally compromised by Ukraine (and China). No wonder he duped us all into making these stupid, destructive moves. Get rid of him!!!!
Next thing you know, they’ll be saying Democrats aren’t so bad–but they are–worse than Putin even…
Nice of Newsweek to catch up with observers on this site more than two weeks after the fact. 1) It has been obvious from the beginning that Russia is using the same encirclement strategy against the Azov Nazis that they deployed in October-December, 1943 against the Nazi Grand Army South. 2) Russia cannot afford to rebuild what would be destroyed in a blitzkrieg campaign, so of necessity the op has been planned from the beginning as a surgical strike. 3) Russia has been careful not to demonize Zelensky, which signals that Putin intends to negotiate a settlement when Russia’s tactical objectives have been realized. Ukraine will formally cede the Donbas and Crimea, and it will assume a state of formal neutrality vis-a-vis NATO.
What remains to be seen is whether the Russians will take Odessa and the rest of Ukraine’s Black Sea coast in order to deny US warships anchorage close to the Crimea.
Agree. Kill the central, core threats, spare most of the civilian infrastructure, and get the vainglorious leadership to “settle” according to your exacting and unwavering demands. It seems obvious that that is how this has unfolded and how this will end.
Still it will be weeks until Lester Holt knows it. Unless Joe wants to continue to fart around there and spout platitudes and arm the Ukrainian version of the contras, it’s over. And I don’t see how the woke fools running US covert action could pull it off.
So all the “stand for democracy” virtue signalers can take down their stupid Ukraine flags and put away their tee shirts. And the Russians should take control of the Black Sea. Because.
If some merger of the Ruble (+Yuan?) becomes the reserve currency then any digital currency must use it as a basis and Putin wins The Great Reset and Russia/China rules the world?
A multi polar world with nationalist, anti woke leaders focused on their country first. President Trumps vision.
Who did he bond with? MbS/Saudi Arabia, Xi/China, Putin/Russia, Bolsonaro/Brazil, Amlo/Mexico, Modi/India.
Coincidence?
Two weeks to flatten the curve!?
Wait . What?
Putin Bad is a Western cult. It isn’t selling in China, Brazil, Southeast Asia, India, Africa, and Middle East. The attempted total de-platforming of an entire country and publicly embraced policy of focused hate has caused all other potential targets of such a campaign to sit up and notice.
That in turn is fueling the acceptance for an alternative world currency and for regional associations which can resist the “arc of history” globalist, one world theology of the WEF.
It was all fun and games when it was just the West inflicting suicidal policies against its own citizens. Now that those policies are reaching out to crush an independent state, other countries realize they will eventually wind up in the cross hairs.
Bingo. Do you wonder how this is playing in countries that actually circulate the US dollar in their economies?
When you throw three darts and they are all bullseye’s. Such is your comment above.
Not only will everything cost more, but somethings you won’t be able to buy with $$ but have to convert to a foreign currency at the official bank rate. Here is an example.
Poland during communism had a healthy black market. The exchange rate honored by Polish banks was 30 Zlotys for one dollar. On the black market it was 130 zlotys for one dollar. And Poles readily paid it to avoid official scrutiny. There were PKO (as I recall) stores that exclusively sold appliances such as refrigerators and western clothing such as the much-coveted blue jeans. If you wanted these items, you had to shop at these specific stores. Only wrinkle was that they only took foreign currency–dollars, marks, etc. They did not accept zlotys. Now that is true devaluation.
Pretty much the only thing you could buy with Polish currency was fruit on the street (no kidding). The local restaurants that took Polish zlotys were always out of everything–no beef, no fancy pastry. Just chicken (if you were lucky). Want a nice steak? That would cost you dollars, marks, but no zlotys. Get the idea? It is not just that everything will cost more but that some items will be out of reach in American dollars.
One more thing. Reason Poles were reluctant to do the official exchange in banks, although it looks like a better rate, is that the government was keeping track of what money you had. You had to declare how much you were coming into the country with and how much you had left when you departed. Better not get that math wrong or you will be questioned at length about the discrepancy. Poles used to rely on the generosity of relatives outside the country sending good American currency hidden inside coffee cans or buried underneath sacks of sugar. Don’t ask how I know…
This was just recorded this afternoon. Ritter is saying similar.
The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate talk live with ex-UN weapons inspector and military expert Scott Ritter about the Russia-Ukraine war. Ritter provides a detailed analysis of the battlefield that stands in stark contrast to the rose-colored perspective of most Western analysts, and offers his perspective on the political follies that drove the conflict.
If you listened to Scott Ritter’s intv a few days ago….I’d skip the first hour of this. It’s a light touch on some of the same. The second half gets interesting when he starts talking about the battlefield strategy in play.
Ritter sure doesn’t have any respect for the CIA. He says they break everything they touch.
He also believes the Russians have operatives within the Ukraine government, military, etc all over the place. It is even likely the first Ukrainian negotiator who was killed a few days ago was likely working for Russia.
I still think Ritter’s earlier interview the other day was the best at describing the current battlefield strategy, background history on Putin, Zelensky, both military strengths and weaknesses and how he sees it playing out.
The first 35 mins was well worth the listen from Ritter’s prior intv:
https://thesaker.is/scott-ritter-military-intelligence-expert-on-ukraine-conflict/
What interests me more, and something very little touched on, is how Russia has kept a very tight rein on information leaks. Almost zero informational leaks are coming out of the Russian government and/or the military. I know the Russian army confiscates the phones of service members, but one would think that more information/supposition would be coming out of the government if there was significant opposition. This tells me a couple of things: 1. ALL of the Russian government is behind the special mission in Ukraine; 2. the US/EU government(s) have had zero ability to penetrate or turn members of the Russian government/military to glean information (Clown/Glow IA). I might be wrong, but I think it’s worth thinking about.
Russia is not a bunch of talkers. They are doers.
Yeah, everything’s going well for the Russians in Ukraine and they aren’t increasingly desperate:
Thanks Newsweak for going Captain Obvious.
Could have taken out the major city power plants the first 24 hours.
They didn’t and haven’t to this day put people in the dark & cold.
This is what McGregor is saying on T. Carlson.
It’s also some of the IC realizing if they let the Global Warmest Faction continue to rule Putin will kill what little Dollar we have left.
The IC realizes better the Devil we know than letting the National Socialistscre-establish themselves in Europe
My opinion is that those climate change cultists are merely serving as useful idiots for others schemes.
Anecdotal evidence increasingly points to globalists and the IC communities being the *actual* fascists.
I have been thinking this same thing since the beginning…Putin is not using full Total War force. This same situation as if the USA was forced into a punitive attack on Canada or Mexico…the US would tread as lightly as possible while still making their point! Sowing total death and destruction would be counter productive.
Although I would be fully in favor of a move against the Zalensky clone to the north!
A lot of us said Putin is holding back. His bombers and misses could have leveled Kiev if that was the goal. It’s not. He’s preserving infrastructure and concentrating his most fierce activity to the east. I’m betting once the Azov regiment and Ukrainian regulars are made ineffective he will move on Odesa consolidate his gains and negotiate new borders and treaties. Ukraine becomes landlocked. Putin adds millions of new Russians to his population. He has unfettered sea access and the most prosperous part of the Ukraine. He also has the EU over a barrel unless it negotiates for new sources of gas and oil and agriculture. And Putin hits the US economy making China stronger by understanding economic security is national security. Meanwhile our state department media and DC want to fight a romanticized insurgency there for years if necessary….lots of laundered money and dodgy bio labs at stake.
Great minds think alike … but I have to ask
Why, in the name of Jupiter, did you take the name of a Triumvir whose head was turned into a Parthian drinking cup as your on screen identity? And a Triumvir who was the George Soros of ancient history? Was Publius Scipio Africanus already taken?
The quote from Spartacus. Gracchus: where does my name appear on this list of disloyal enemies of the state? Crassus: first. And if memory serves didn’t Scipio die of syphilis?
Syphilis? The origins are subject to theorizing– highly politicized theorizing. In Europe, skeletal evidence is all post-1492, whereas in the western hemisphere it is clearly pre-Columbian.
….and the by-product results are he throws out the crooked, corrupt, criminal Ukraine money-laundering machine for all the Worlds crooked politicians. Biden and Clinton crime families being two of them.
…understanding economic security is national security.
Yep, that’s what Trump and the wolverines knew.
Pretty soon Zelensky will become an ex-President and a CNN contributor.
Or a t shirt model.
Maybe he could get a gig on a cruise ship
This is what happens when the media run with their preferred narrative. It amazes me how a backwater like Ukraine has become the center of attention. Misguided Ukrainians think that joining the EU or other organizations will make a difference. When in reality, their corruption, inter-ethnic clashes, and just overall government malfeasance is what’s keeping that country back. I lived in one of these E. european nations for 5 years and the corruption before EU membership and after EU membership hasn’t changed.
All of this warmongering is part of the Demo-Marxist-Bolsheviks’ plans to derail the 2022 elections that will be starting in a few short months. They really needed something big to distract the populace from our pain and the horrible polling data.
They got maximum mileage out of CCP Chi Com Flu and it looks like that might backfire on them. Just in case they need him, the semi-retired Evil Midget is waiting in the wings to make a comeback. For now Putin is the new Fauci.
Of course, the ongoing destruction of our country in every other aspect will continue on steroids.
Anyone with half a brain knows that this war was never about preserving the Ukrainian “democracy.” More like preserving the bank accounts of a bunch of dirty politicians, grifters and drug addicts, aka the Bidenista/ Clintonista crime families.
As far as the upcoming elections- all of their devious plans may be for nought. It turns out there is a new voting process that will be available, based on our mega millions state lotteries. It is transparent and apparently un-hackable.
No more Zuckerbucks, Dominion, or other hanky panky. This new system will stop all of it.
They just put the dirty Dems out of business. Funny how there’s not been more in the media about this:
https://pjmedia.com/columns/kevindowneyjr/2022/03/22/finally-a-transparent-voting-process-that-cant-be-corrupted-hacked-or-cheated-democrats-will-hate-it-2-n1568630
For all the talk about a no-fly zone, the Untied States supposedly flew more sorties on the first day of the Iraq War in 2003 than Russia has flown in this entire war.
Russia has chosen to fight this war mostly from the ground. That’s why Russian casualty numbers are relatively high.
Well, to be honest we have no clue how many casualties there have really been, on either side. Russian Federation Air Force pilots don’t get the flight time they want and need in training exercises. So not surprised with their limited role so far. Other than some apparently well-planned intensive sorties early on taking out Uke airstrips and chewing up tarmac, Federation overflights have been few and far between. Good idea considering the proliferation of surface to air missiles pouring into Ukraine.
…it appears that just about every BS narrative pumped out by the US Government through compliant media has either collapsed already or is about to.
I think this is exactly what Putin is doing…and the way he loses the least men….and the least civilians….
Anyone who wants to leave can leave……and no weapons or supplies in…….
His victory is assured….no matter what the MSM (in their wisdom) says!
Everything swamp is fraud and this includes the MSM. The Ukraine has been a cesspool since Moby Dick was a minnow. We know our swamp rats were laundering money in Ukraine, Bio-Weapons and God knows what.
Putin is cleaning up our swamp rats mess. Just like Hunter’s laptop, lies and prevarications until they get caught. It looks like the Ukrainian swamp is going being exposed much faster, thanks to Putin.
I’m not a Putin acolyte but the enemy of my enemy is my friend and if exposes Zelinsky as a the WEF puppet that he is and the raging criminality of our swamp rats, that’ll be good thing.
God Bless the people of the Ukraine and please Lord end the hostilities as soon as possible.
Amen.
Newsweek aside, our clownish government is going to get a lot of people killed:
US Government Officially Accuses Russia of Committing War Crimes (theepochtimes.com)
JoBama to the rescue.
I am not saying I am in agreement with everything Putin, however I am in disagreement with everything Biden. Biden is a corrupt crooked criminal totalitarian Globalist who is set on destroying America and the American People.
Biden is supporting the most crooked government in the World as well as dangerous with US supported bioweapon labs. Why would a conservative US citizen support the Ukraine when they are a bigger threat to Americans way of life and freedom than Russia?
If you ask me the biggest threat to America is the Ukraine in many more ways than one. China is someone to do business and so is Russia. IMO, XI, Putin and Trump understand this perfectly. Trump always mentions “fair trade”. Trump never mentions “defeat”.
“the biggest threat to America is the Ukraine”…and the biggest threat to Ukraine is America, since we’re the ones who engineered this conflict for our Evil Empire’s purposes.
As the Prop. has explained, the Obama Syndicate is not just targeting Russia, but targeting their real enemy: the United States of America and our dollar.
They also engineered this to cause food shortage.
These are the real bad guys. Not Putin or even their junior dictator Zelensky.
If there was an honest, above board, trial before an honest judge and jury to decide if Putin or Bidet was a true American … my money is on Putin winning 12 to zip.
Well, I agree with you fully, of course, but I can’t help but wish you would be a little more blunt in speaking your mind, so that everyone would understand. 😉
Lol, I most often get criticized for being too blunt.
Newsweek is spreading Russian propaganda and is guilty of treason.
Someone at Newsweek should take that reporter out It would be much better for Newsweek that way.
When the war is over, the losers don’t get to write the narrative anymore.
The West has been fighting a propaganda war.
Russia has been fighting a military one.
The Donbass has not been the location of a ‘civil war’ for decades. It has been the location of a planned ethnic cleansing by Azov supporters (Nazis). Interestingly, there was a huge amount of Azov troops in the Donbass when the Russians entered….the Azov plan was for a massive ‘cleansing’ of this region of all Russian speaking citizens, in March. Putin foiled that plan.
I read today that there were 300,000 Uke troops in the east and were planning an invasion of the two breakway provinces. Supposedly, they had been planning this for a long time and loading up on military hardware in that area. But Putin decided to go first. The Azovs are trapped in the eastern areas and being methodically annihilated.
““Putin’s Bombers Could Devastate Ukraine but He’s Holding Back.” Wait, what?
”
Unlike Bush who didn’t hold back in Iraq with the “Shock and Awe” on Baghdad after his big lies on WMD.
“You cannot grow a beard in a moment of passion.” – Chesterton
The people traversing the revolving door between the State Department and big tech are an example of this truth in action.
The State Department is comprised of people who are smart in one domain, and think that makes them smart in another.
This is peach fuzz vs Orthodox beards, and the peach fuzz aren’t the ones who’ll be bearing the cost of their mistakes.
FWIW, I’ve noticed Newsweek writing some semi-decent pieces recently.
Super great post Sundance. Your description of the plan Russia is executing is exactly what I have been reading on alternative sources, i.e., non-western mouthpieces. To their credit, the Russian forces are accepting more casualties than otherwise necessary in an effort to try and minimize the deaths/injuries of Ukranian civilians and infrastructure. It would be easy for them to level Ukranian cities with an all out blitz like those we conducted in Iraq and Serbia. I actually saw a link to one of your articles earlier today on one of these alternative sources.
Well, this is weird 😕.
Understatement of the day!
Welcome that the story was written….
Hoping other media will start reporting truth.
Praying for peace.
So the military guy leftists screamed was a traitor and Putin apologist for pointing out the most logical war objectives based on the facts as best as they could be distilled from the propaganda was……….100% right?
Kinda like just about everything with these commies, ain’t it?
I tell ya, the fact that Putin is loathed by the loathsome is really all I need to know.
