While no media have a good track record of outlining the conflict in Ukraine, retired Col. Douglas Macgregor has the most consistent perspective that reconciles what little factual information is visible with the reality on the ground.
In this recent interview, Macgregor notes the Russian operation is currently focused on securing the eastern Donbas region of Ukraine, where fighting has been taking place since 2014. During an earlier interview on CNN, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy noted the largest and most experienced elements of the Ukrainian army are located in this region. According to Zelenskyy, approximately 44,000 Ukrainian troops are there; oddly, Zelenskyy seemed to concede that he has no control over what’s happening there.
During this segment, Macgregor notes the current Russian objective is to encircle those eastern Ukraine forces, cut them off from western supply lines, and then slowly and methodically eliminate them – while separating them from Russian speaking citizens in the region. Macgregor notes a particular concern once those Ukraine forces are eliminated. WATCH:
What Col. Macgregor states toward the end rings very true to the practical events being discussed.
The most dangerous time will be when the Russians are close to achieving their objective in Eastern Ukraine, and the western media will be faced with having to reconcile the difference between the propaganda they have been selling to western citizens and the actual truth on the ground. That’s when the western alliance is likely to do something drastic.
The general *sense* you get when listening to Zelenskyy describe the factual part of the conflict, not the narrative story about it – but the actual fighting conflict itself, is that he is detached from the battle.
Watch it and form your own opinion. It’s very weird.
https://t.me/rybar/31366 seems detached… FWIW when his usefulness ends he may end up being martyred in a false flag event. I say this because he is being made into this larger than life heroic figure in our propaganda.
He will be sacrificed, I mean his stunt double.
He should stay away from Alec Baldwin.
‘Scuse me…hey hey ‘scuse me
After watching him try to formulate his scripted answers, it seems obvious of one thing, liars can’t remember how they lied. His measured responses appear to be carefully delivered to avoid getting caught up in a previous lie. As a parent, I used to ask my kids to repeat their timelines in reverse order. People can remember events in the order they happened. They get all kinds of fouled up when they try to repeat a lie in reverse order. That is how the Zenster acts.
I like to watch old reruns of “Leave it to Beaver”. Even in 1958 they tolerated lying. Beaver always got away with lying. They condoned it even back in the day. I used to watch it when I was a kid it’s kinda neat to watch it as an adult 60 years later. I also like to watch “Young Sheldon” he’s brutally honest….lol
Interesting approach about the “reverse order”. Never tried that before.
He’s producing videos on a daily basis and nothing seems real in his demeanor. His hands don’t even show any signs of stress. The NATO alliance has been mute and, as Sundance said, I fear the end of this story.
Yes I’ve noticed he’s acting and playing the cool as a cucumber role. Crazy he always wears the same olive drab clothes to portray he’s a soldier or out sleeping with the troops. Appears incredibly staged to me, especially how there are billboards, signs and clothing here saying “I stand wit Ukraine” like they’re pushing hard to bolster support. Then when the time comes for the US to enter the war everyone will be on board, the sheeple I mean. I think they want the people to beg for it! Then use the war for their own devious means to take even more control of us!
Pretty soon he will be tlking to Ngo Dinh Diem.
The “Che” of Eastern Europe?
LOL, another leftist zero, I mean, hero.
For all we know Zelinsky could be in his $40 million mansion in FL – that we probably paid for!
https://stateofthenation.co › ?p=108525
The oligarchs are making Zelinsky earn his 1.2 bil.
His double will die while he retires to his 34 million mansion in Miami.
Hell be dramatically rescued from Ukraine, installed in his mansion in Miami, take advanced USG English language training then be deployed to newly minted CNN+ international desk as Main Anchor.
He’s was a clown and an actor before he was a politician. Actors are liars as are politicians.
He doesn’t care how many Ukrainians he gets killed in a conflict that instead of being stopped, is being prolonged by his puppetmasters for their own objectives that is not in Ukraine’s interests. This is Phase 2, Covidia was Phase 1.
He’s not even real. It’s like the Ukraine Truman Show
“Artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up.” V For Vendetta
I so agree, Colkitto.
Z is an obvious actor. Playing a part in concert with the West. When it’s advantageous, his people are mere pawns. Shameful.
imo, Putin is ruthless and has had designs on what he wants along with his methods to achieve that end. Successful? We shall see.
The U.S. is butting in due to skeletons (I’m aware I have this in the most simplistic of terms) in both the U.S. and Ukraine closets, which must remain hidden (protected) no matter the cost. Disgusting. Europe’s reasons are quite complicated as well.
I think SD lays everything out in expert fashion.
the simple statement says it all
No, the way NATO surrounded Russia when Putin didn’t have much power infuriated him. So he quietly built his forces and waited for NATO to cross his redline, Ukraine, and he was prepared this time. NATO arrogantly thought they were going to just steamroller over him again. Putin has already taken Ukraine. That was known weeks ago. My prediction: When Russian troops march into Kiev as victors Ukraine will go away like the mask mandates disappeared, and we will go back into total covid mask lockdown but even worse and drop ballots from planes.
The sad part is all the innocent people Zelensky is killing as a result of his greed, and that the lib’s have been brainwashed to think this asshole is a hero.
Not Just the Liberals unfortunately
“ He’s was a clown and an actor before he was a politician. Actors are liars as are politicians.”
Ronald Reagan was an actor before entering politics. Donald Trump was a Reality TV host before he became President.
Should this profession automatically exclude anyone from holding political office?
Yeah.. I remember when RR played the kazoo with his male member and that time DT played the congas with his..oh wait.. Actors are OK. Actors who play musical instruments with inappropriate appendages are not.
Fred Thompson (RIP) was an actor and politician. Good at both.
Reagan had strong beliefs.. he acted on them when he, twice, became the president of the Screen Actor’s Guild ( 47-52, 59-60) and he stood up for conservative causes which he held in absolute terms.
Reagan was an interesting combination of a very conservative individual, affable personality and the talent of an actor. That’s why he was a successful politician.
OTOH, most actors (and politicians) are psychotic and narcissistic. Their belief system is relative and self centered. The only thing that makes a “typical” actor better than a “typical” politician is that the former at least knows how to deliver the news, the latter makes you hate them.
That’s rich Tapper calling the Russian’s liars, same for the ZEL. I don’t have Tv but Tapper looks suddenly old from the last time I saw a clip of his worried brow.
Where are the children? My initial gut response is to say w/the traffickers, but from the photos and video I’ve seen it looks sadly like they could be under the rubble. And speaking of children there at the end Tapper doing a segment on ZEL’s kid? That is just too much, over the top.
All I saw was a two sociopaths lying to preach and feed the narrative. It was disgusting to watch. My fear is what my gummint will do, not the Russians.
Are the branch COVIDians still lapping up all this garbage? Sean Penn the diplomat? Zelensky kids movie of the week?
Get outta here..
This is a D- Hollyweird production. And by the time the sheeple realize they’ve been conned AGAIN, if this is anything like that PLANdemic fiasco, our Statue of Liberty will already be buried under the sand, along with our soldiers.
FAKE NEWS sure takes a heavy toll on our lives, doesn’t it? Is that why we’re always a few decades LATE and a trillion dollars SHORT?
Yeah, Penn said he was suiting up and going to the front to kill Russians. We can only hope the Ruskies send him home in a body bag, or better yet send him to Siberia forever…
After watching one destructive legislation after another (Free Trade being great examples) pushed by the media which really directs our government, I realize that either deconstructing the media monopoly or destroying it, would be the best way to stop our enemies.
The good guys in the movie “They Live” had the right idea
Big media doesn’t direct the government.
Big corporations do.
I call it NeoFascism.
The large multinationals and globalists control the Government and the Corporate Propaganda Machines.
Sort of ass backwards. Sort of communism (international socialism) backwards also!
Furrowed brow is a requirement for liberal media talking heads. Like Rachel Madddow
Correction: Rachel Madcow.
I could only handle about 2 min of that gaslighting.
This “interview” is a PR OP.
Z constantly glances down and to his right (our left) to follow his script-prompter.
Yes, you caught it! It called neuro-linguistic programming.
The reason is that it’s been reported that it is Americans that are directing the war efforts in Ukraine*
* https://www.infowars.com/posts/americans-are-in-charge-of-the-war-says-french-journalist-who-returned-from-ukraine/
.
Americans of the Democrat persuasion.
Send more of them to the front in Donbas.
The Russians released a picture of a US passport found on one of the dead enemy soldiers.
Like the CIA trainers that the Macedonian military captured when they caught almost the whole National Liberation Army. (An offshoot of the CIA/Al-Qaeda linked KLA terrorists)
You know now that you say that it makes perfect sense as to why this “war/invasion” is so screwed up! The left does have a tendency to over act for effect. But as time goes on their scheme always starts to fall apart due to their lies about all that is happening.
If I remember correctly, Putin commented on going into Ukraine to rid them of Nazi’ and the bio labs and to stop Ukraine from terrorising their Russian speaking people in eastern Ukraine. I keep watching the news and something just doesn’t seem right from the very beginning, and now it seems the narrative being shoved down our throats is slowly falling apart. Just like every other democrat “crisis” falls apart.
While viewing this video I was watching his mannerisms. Very childish. He is constantly looking away from a person sitting a few feet from him. When asked about nuclear conflict he smiles as if he is saying I told you so , now you are in it too, odd.
He also seems to nod his head in a form of self approval when he thinks he is making a point just like Kamala Harris does.
You are on to something Sundance. I have no idea what it could be ?
One thing for sure . He has no understanding or connection as to the gravity of the situation at hand. Just like he has none for the 14,000 citizens the Azov Nazi group killed in the last 8 years. He can’t even imagine that little inconvenience have something to do with this conflict.
I also seemed to notice that he was wearing white soled dark green hipster sneakers like that handful of imbedded FBI clowns were wearing at the rally in Washington you had a picture of. Kind of like some form of Approved color revolution attire .
How much contact could he have, with the 40,000 to 60,000 troops pinned down, and unsupplied?
Sundance and crew:
“The most dangerous time will be when the Russians are close to achieving their objective in Eastern Ukraine, and the western media will be faced with having to reconcile the difference between the propaganda they have been selling to western citizens and the actual truth on the ground. That’s when the western alliance is likely to do something drastic.“
I don’t mean to be the purveyor of doom porn but….yes. This is absolutely true. Why?
Because if Vlad and Russia win this conflict and the West must admit defeat we have a real problem. It will be the momentum that will drive the BRICS countries forward. Personally I think tying currency to commodities provides a fantastic natural accountability check. Let’s face it, ever since the financial collapse, and maybe before, these people have known the currency of the US and Europe were going to ultimately fail (Ponzi scheme).
“They” are the people behind the WEF/Davos and multinational corps like Blackrock & Vanguard. Their enforcement arm is the 5 eyes IC. Throw in France & Germany for good measure. This is the number one enemy at the moment. Trump’s inauguration and ouster made them force their hand. Before 2020 they existed in the shadows. And now they are in the forefront.
No I don’t like China or Russia but these people pulling the strings in the West are every bit as bad. In fact they are worse because they hide. Unlike Pravda we have tons of media (left & right) and most of it rolls up to those two companies. We are fortunate in that we have sites like this; that is our gift. And perhaps can ultimately turn the tide.
This is about the BRICS countries, mainly Russia and China, tying a currency to gold. This was not a surprise to the West (maybe China was). Russia’s head economist has been preaching it for years. This is why we removed Zelensky in 2014. They removed Trump because they couldn’t trust him to act on their orders. Both Putin, Trump, Xi played the game, but they obviously felt these guys were a wildcard. Trump was the easiest to remove. They may have gotten Putin if not for the 4 years of Trump.
Now the currency hegemony ruining horse is out of the barn. That ship has sailed. If anyone doubts my assessment I challenge you to look to our media zeitgeist. Do you think they care about white Slavs killing white Slavs thousands of miles away? I think not. But their corporate masters and the Intel Com enforcers have an agenda.
They knew the currency would eventually go belly up. The goal was to control the implosion and to remain atop the pile of humanity. Many of them have been on the highest perch for over a century. If you think of it in these terms you come to the realization these people have no plans of falling from the hierarchy. Ruin, disgrace, humiliation, pain await them if that were to happen. In 2020 it’s what frightened me about the election. I don’t scare easily scare but it sent chills down my spine. I knew this group of people had nothing to lose. Didn’t know who it was at the time. Thought it was Democrats and CCP but nah.
Brings us to your paragraph that I quoted and it’s unsettling because it’s true. This is when they will be cornered and dangerous. And they are the most dangerous force in the history of human kind with the world ending weapons at their disposal.
Have heard theories that Putin was really on the Globalist plan to become the excuse for the demo of our economy/monetary system. If that is the case we can cross out nuclear war. But in the long run that is extremely unsettling. Bread crumbs have been dropped and the way the media psychosphere has behaved points otherwise. And when have you ever seen both political parties agree?
Had an ex girlfriend ask me last year. “How long are you going to be like this wtf?” Honestly it’s a fair question but one I could have done without the snark. Well I pushed her to that point I admit. Still it was a relevant question but even though we knew each other in high school many years ago she didn’t know me until mid 2020. It stung. But I had just absorbed a load of lies about Covid (mainly life saving treatments) and an election stolen right before my eyes. Something didn’t feel right.
It is a relevant question though and one that should be answered. If we come through mid terms with some level of sanity and decency I will scale it down. Honestly I never knew or gave two shits about Russia or Ukraine but with the possibility of Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD nuclear war) on the table it does steel ones focus. I don’t have a lot of hope for that (fair election) though. Hopefully Marie LaPenne can pull off an upset. But France is not the Globalist’s big dog in the fight. That would be the US.
I guess 6 months from now really tells the tale. I suppose we can’t put the cart before the horse. We have to make it there first. People like my friend I just told you about amaze me. In this case she questioned the rigged election when they stole it from her (B Sanders). Got this high and mighty BS about counting every vote parroted out of her mouth as if CNN had a direct link to her. It was frustrating but also she’s a victim, in the same fashion a person with Stockholm Syndrome is. They don’t know and they don’t think it matters. The world will keep spinning just the same as it always has. This is probably true but the life force along with human advancement will be in vain if we keep living this facade which is Clown World going. This shit can get you down but try not to let it. Live your best life and laugh. I write on here not to sow fear but to preserve sanity. And do what you can to get right with God whatever that might be.
Sun Tzu said “Build your enemies a golden bridge.” That’s a very wise statement. At the present time I am not sure that can be accomplished…Godspeed ❤️
Nice post. IMF rules prohibit pegging a currency to gold, but I doubt there is a rule that purohits a mixed basket that includes gold.
I am expecting Biden to have an anger blowup near the end of the month. Should be totally awesome!
I do not expect Russia to quit with Ukraine. They may as well continue and push back NATO countries while they have the advantage. Romania or Poland will probably be next. They may as well prepare for the final battle while they have the advantage.
4.8 to over 5 million Ukrainians have left…that is more than 10% of the population.
2500-3000 Ukrainian solders have died (per Zelenskyy).
They are bleeding citizens one way or another.
20% of Ukraine’s young adults left BEFORE Russia decided to destroy the Globalist American Empire’s favorite pirate haven for money laundering, sex trafficking, and drug trafficking. Rule by rootless internationalist oligarchs makes life a misery everywhere.
they could be losing 2,000 soliders a day at this point …
The other day the Russians estimated the total to be 24k.
The BRICS trading systems don’t have to be “tied to gold.” There isn’t enough of that precious metal on this planet to “back” the number of transactions that occur in a single day – nor is it necessary. Gold should be used because it is a near-perfect conductor of electricity. And, yes, because it makes beautifully detailed coins that I enjoy collecting for this reason. (Whenever I can afford the damned things …) 🤠
What will make a difference – and which will benefit us all, including(!) the USA – is the deployment of alternate trading systems (other than SWIFT), and other “bourses” in which to settle the trades, and the freedom of every trading party to denominate their trade however they wish. It is absolutely sensible, for example, for Russia to demand to be paid for its resources in its currency, so that its traders do not get stuck with the costs of overt currency manipulation! The USA makes exactly the same requirement for its Dollar. “What’s good for the goose …”
Nearly every trade is a so-called “futures trade,” involving the setting of a price now for delivery later. These contracts are very vulnerable to such abuses, and so they must be “hedged.” Effectively, an insurance policy … and we pay the premiums in everything(!) that we buy, sell, or ship. In every airline ticket. In every gallon of gas. These premiums can sometimes be a very substantial part of the cost.
Nothing that the USA routinely does to its currency comes without big costs to everyone including Americans. It’s unfair, and traders should not be forcibly exposed to it anymore. There should be a healthy market for computer software which, millisecond by millisecond, calculates the “cheapest and most secure path” for every trade. We would all benefit enormously from that. Yes … even the USA.
Yes, you must protect your price and then protect your protection to remove the risk. That cost has to be added to the price you offer. A trade currency does not remove you from that situation unless the price you offer is in the trade currency.
You cannot have floating apples and oranges and extend credit on that basis without mitigating the risk. If the customer wants a certainty in price and does not understand they are paying for it.
The same applies though when working for a large company with an insane risk management division. They want you to have all kinds of insurance with high level and jump through hoops. You can either meet their demands and factor that into the price or walk. too many hoops and suddenly they have one bidder.
Competition favors the consumer. In the short run it will be painful, in the long run it should make it much more difficult to exfiltrate our, the middle class’, wealth, what’s left anyway.
“There isn’t enough of that precious metal on this planet to ‘back’ the number of transactions that occur in a single day…”
This is only of concern to monetary cranks and inflationists.
Under a private property order employing the division of labor, a fixed quantity of gold is no hindrance to economic exchange or economic expansion.
“The quantity of a good is totally irrelevant (within reason) to it being feasible as a medium of exchange. Especially given the technology of the present day, quantity is even less relevant than it was previously. All that is necessary to deal with a static supply of money and an ever growing economy (and the corresponding goods & services that it produces) is the use of a decimal point. If today 1 gram of gold ($60) is sufficient to buy a week’s worth of groceries, with a growing economy and a frozen supply of money, over time the cost of goods fall. Or to say the same thing, the purchasing power of money rises. So instead of needing 1 gram, let’s say in 50 years time it only costs 0.1 gram to buy the same amount. And so on.”

No. Russia is not going to give NATO an excuse for WW3. That is a leftist fantasy. However, NATO may start WW3 when all their secret biowarfare info is dumped in the public domain.
It may not be WWIII.
It really should be a seminal election in the US and coup d’etats in Canada, Oz and the EU.
Putin doesn’t want to destroy his best customers!
It’ll be more than an anger blow up.
I think one of those veins in his forehead is going to pop the next time his meds wear off.
It’ll be worse than the bird crapping on him.
Ha!
Luke, sometimes it is very hard to stay positive, and I certainly don’t succeed all of the time, but it is wise to remember to live the life you’re living right now. You’re only promised this day. The old AA thing about One Day at at Time, is so very true. Projecting too far into the future can exhaust you and those you love. I have to turn away from the Internet and rarely watch TV news. It can drive you crazy!
I don’t know whether you are a believer in Jesus, but if you are, I suggest a daily reading to help you get through the day with a a bit of a smile knowing He is there with you. And remember to breathe. This was part of my reading of yesterday: “Don’t let unexpected events throw you off course. Rather, respond calmly and confidently, remembering that I am with you. As soon as something grabs your attention, talk with Me about it. Thus I share your joys and your problems; I help you cope with whatever is before you. This is how I live in you and work through you. This is the way of Peace.” from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young with references to Bible entries from which she gets her writings so you can read them for yourself. Praying for you and all of us.
I read her, too! So uplifting!
And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come
to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. (Matthew 24:6-7) Jesus said the world would never be safe from war.
Luke is so right, “And do what you can to get right with God whatever that might be.”
“…nation will rise against nation…”
Lit. (Greek): Ethnos will rise against ethnos…”
The Last Days will be characterized by fierce ethnic strife. Wars will become platforms for genocide.
Every day should be Easter. “Count is all JOY,” as St. James wrote.
We will live forever because of Jesus’ ultimate love and sacrifice, just not here!
It’s great to pray and believe in God but Washington didn’t beat the Hessians at Trenton by sitting in his house and praying. He prayed for guidance and took action. Hence the phrase, “Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.”
Exactly – the Israelites fought many wars under God’s direction and, as long as they trusted in Him, not in themselves, they were victorious.
I was given that book by my pastor when my husband died. It got me through many a day.
I just love Jesus Calling! I forget to read it daily , but my daughter posts it on Facebook and I am reminded what a blessing the Bible is. Jesus is our hope and our joy! He is risen! Let us rejoice and be glad!
Luke stated:
“They” are the people behind the WEF/Davos and multinational corps like Blackrock & Vanguard. Their enforcement arm is the 5 eyes IC. Throw in France & Germany for good measure. This is the number one enemy at the moment. Trump’s inauguration and ouster made them force their hand. Before 2020 they existed in the shadows. And now they are in the forefront.
Who are “they”? Don’t stop at they. Dig deeper. Who are “they” and what do “they” all have in common? What is “their” common interest?
Allison Weir has a really good primer book about how we got where we are called:
Against Our Better Judgment The hidden history of how the U.S. was used to create Israel
We have to stop arguing dem vs rep and chasing the latest shiny object. Western governmens have been occupied for a long time now. The only way to fix it is to realize what the problem is. Don’t stop at “they”. Dig deeper
I believe as soon as our American politicians retrieve their ill-gotten gains from both Russia and and Ukraine (cousins fighting cousins with interference from Nazi Azovs) this will be finished in a New York second.
The sole involvement from our goob’mint is CYA.
Well said Luke. It’s clear you get your information from sources that do not parrot deep state/ western lies. I agree with your analysis of what is really going on today. It does look bleak for any positive outcome.
I had a liberal mental case just repeat to me whatever was in that day’s/week media script against Trump. When I confronted him about his stating Trump was on his death bed with Covid, he claimed he never said that!
He now avoids everyone as I gather he is ashamed of himself, at least subconsciously. The strange thing was his regurgitation of whatever he was feed. When I brought up topics like the Clinton Administrations treason with China in the 90’s he had a blank expression and quickly changed the subject. They are full on project monarch programmed slaves. TY for your comment. I also sympathize having shaken off the media programming in the early 90’s.
Good post. Your friend sounds like my wife’s sisters: Hopelessly plugged into the CNN propaganda brainwashing machine. And my aging wealthy socialist neighbors plugged in to the PBS horseshit. I’ve been lurking here at the treehouse since Trump campaigned. Glad I found it. Someone at another website linked me here. This is my go to place for the latest doom and gloom truth bombs, lol.
“This is why we removed Zelensky in 2014.”
Zelensky was not the Ukrainian president in 2014. He gained the presidency in 2019. Get your facts straight.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_Ukraine
Without trying to be offensive to you or your post, I assumed it was just a posting error. We’ve all been learning Ukrainian history on the fly of late. Poroshencko (sp?) is a new character to many of us in this rancid farce, as is Zelensky(y).
The Davos Cabal was trying to push Putin aside… but Putin is not Saddam Hussein.
So, Putin drew his “red line on the sand” and acted when it was crossed.
On an aside… how many of those billions for “Ukrainian Aid” from the US DoS will leave Washington DC?
It’s US former Iraq soldiers leading the Ukraine troops.
I heard a French journalist who was accompanying one French soldier and two mercenaries or experienced volunteers. The journalist described an encounter with ‘US soldiers (unofficial) who claimed to be in command and required that the French four remove the sim card in their phones but did provide replacements. Didn’t the Russians take a US military Lt. Col. just one week ago?
Zellensky is the spokesperson for his Oligarch sugar daddy, the same one who bribed Hunter and his Sire.
If you want to know what’s really going on in Eastern Ukraine follow Patrick Lancaster on Utube.
The guy is either crazy or has balls of steel to be hanging out in the fog of war. Speaks fluent Russian and has a sidekick Ukraine guy doing the video. And yeah, the Ukranian military are pretty damn evil based on their interviews of actual real people.
I will check out Patrick Lancaster. Other good follows are Geroman and Russians With Attitude on Twitter. (Yes, I’m back on Twitter a bit, just for the duration of this crisis.)
Patrick Lancaster has been reporting on the horrors in the Donbass for 8 years. He lives there.
https://rumble.com/search/video?q=Patrick%20lancaster
I’m well aware of that, but my point is he is essentially chasing the hot spots and putting himself in harm’s way and reporting accordingly. Some of it is very distrubing but it’s the reality.
Funny how at first there is an interpreter, but when they start talking about nukes, suddenly Zelensky is speaking English.
Then, back to the interpreter. If Zelensky thinks his little nazi army in Donbass can stand up to the Russians, he should be reminded that they beat the nazis once before. Notice how nobody asks about a peace agreement. This tells me that numerous factions want this war to continue. And don’t forget the wife and the children. Gotta tug at those heartstrings. Maybe after Zelensky is hanged, they can to to live in his 35 million dollar mansion in Florida.
“… they beat the nazis once before.”
If recent figures (circa 1993) are correct, their war effort cost them 26,000,000 lives, eight-million of which were military.
They don’t have the requisite population or the US MIC support to repeat that success.
Interesting. So do you imagine the Russians are fighting Nazis with remotely the same capability and momentum as they did in WWII? Facts and figures are cool, until they don’t tell you shyte from shinola.
When the war is over, Russia will be the only country in the world which can claim they beat the Nazis twice.
The interpreter’s revelation/ claim two minutes in, about Zelensky’s understanding of the evil war going on since beginning of 2014, is interesting for all manner of reasons – not least the relative silence, then and now, on the inferred catastrophic failure of the Minsk agreement(s) or any other peace initiative throughout the intervening period (and the revelation, a minute later, of Zelensky apparently having no need for an interpreter in any event).
Exactly Lets talk about 2014 Minsk and nato. Let’s start there and expand forward and backwards just so we are all on the same page about the events in Ukraine, Russia and Europe.
Ya know like a history lesson.
Actually, let’s start with WWI and the Balfour Declaration. Who is Lionel Rothschild, Louis Brandeis, Felix Frankfurter? Didn’t Woodrow Wilson run on the platform that he was the man to keep the US out of the war? What was the relationship between Wilson and Brandeis? Start there and work to where we are today. Dig deeper.
“The Russians claim and the Russians are liars….”
More top notch impartial reporting from CNN.
CNN is a subject matter expert at lying.
I found it odd that sometimes they used the interpretor and sometimes they used Zelenskyy in his own English words. I guess he is more understandable sometimes? Or is it that they changed what he was saying into the English words they wanted him to say? Just an observation.
Detached from the battle, absolutely. Even detached from the reality of his and Ukraine’s situation. Much like leftists in this country who continue to wear masks and look to the future anticipating a next booster to protect them. Facts don’t matter.
MacGregor NAILED it. The greatest cause for concern is when the reality that will hit Zelenskyy hits the Regime here, how will they respond to their own crumbling narrative? In that measure, Zelenskyy is meaningless.
All leftists are detached from reality.
If he knew what he was talking about, he would not look down. His eyes would go up and to the right to retrieve the facts.
Zelensky has learned to gaslight almost as good as those in DC. Most of us here know he is getting his ass kicked because whatever our propaganda complex tells us is the exact opposite of reality. It will be interesting to see how this concludes…or escalates. In a fair election the dem commie complex will get their asses kicked as bad as the Ukrainians and they know it. So it will be equally interesting to see what these a-holes pull this summer. Summer of 2020 2.0 “peaceful protests” with their millions of illegal alien brethren and food shortages? DC has declared war on America. The writing is on the wall. This has all been engineered. They will try to starve and intimidate us into submission. This is a zero sum game and I think we are reaching the climax. Yes we should stock up and stand up like Rittenhouse when they come to terrorize us this time.
Maybe we should not wait for them “to come to terrorize us” – maybe we should begin doing a little terrorizing of our own.
Are you planning another attempt to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer?
Another? When was the first? Wait is Joan FBI?
Whenever I read the lamestream media reports, I think about the opening of the movie, GLADIATOR, when the Roman commander tells a fellow soldier:”Don’t these barbarians know that they have already been defeated?”
We all know he is just a globalist puppet.
Who are the “globalist”? Globalist can’t do anything…”people” do things. Who were the communist? Who were the Bolsheviks? Who is Schwab? Soros? DOJ going after “patriots”…who is the head of the DOJ? Merrick (Garfinkle) Garland. Who is he? Jewlinsky isn’t running Ukraine. Victoria (Noddleman) Nuland and her crew have been since they staged the 2014 coup in Ukraine. Who are these people? What do they have in common? What is their common agenda? Dig deeper.
“the Russians say (and the Russians are liars)…” What kind of journalism is that?
Watching Zelenskyy in interviews and other places where he made and “appearance” makes me think of Hunger Games.
The first clue that this is fake is cnn /tapper interviewing little z the super hero of the Ukraine .Listening to them is an insult to our intelligence.Putin is the new boogeyman like Trump was when they constantly were on him.Talking about use of tac nukes is very troubling as we know the nwo/global cabal will stop at nothing to bring about their utopia of the demise of ninety percent of the worlds population and rest being subservient to them and their you ll own nothing and you ll like it ala klaus schwab.I truly believe they will fail as there are forces at work which are way above their pay grade.He is called God Almighty,King of Kings,Lord of Lords,Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord.
He’s not even in Ukraine except for an occasional person to person meeting for the cameras.
He keeps asking for more killing materiel. Not once has asked for humanitarian supplies for the people he allegedly governs and who are suffering. All he wants is more death, destruction and suffering for his people.
I sense it is contrived, staged and he seems to cool to be having his country overtaken by another!!! Have you heard the song written about him? “can one man save the world”? Sounds like a sappy propaganda love song! Frankly I’ve wondered if he’s the Antichrist. He’s part Jewish and it seems everyone is propping him up as some hero. I smell a big rat!!!
Dead on true.
HT: CM-TX
Must be what Hunter is like in a meeting. Can you imagine the two of them together? Snort fest w/young girls while their attorney’s and handlers are working out the laundering deals.
Is that why Hunter & Ukraine got along so well.
I don’t know how much has been “scrubbed” since the beginning of this mess–but there were a ton of articles regarding allegations about Zelensky and his buddies…who are now in top level govt positions…and their Cocaine addiction during his election campaign.
Even Putin brought it up in one of his speeches!
I remember Obama doing this all the time. Exactly the same way.
Good catch on the vid.

The country with the worst elections in the western world, whose government intervenes in foreign elections more than any other government on earth, is waging a dangerous proxy war to save democracy in Ukraine, a nation which is not a democracy by any reasonable definition.
Anyone who trusts any government is a fool. Anyone who trusts the world’s most powerful government is a damn fool. Anyone who trusts the world’s most powerful government while it runs massive propaganda ops for a dangerous proxy war should be forbidden to use the grown-up scissors.
❖
It’s impossible to overstate how completely blanketed by propaganda distortion the Ukraine war is. US spooks saying they’re leaking disinfo to the press, Ukrainian war propaganda, the blackout on Ukrainian losses, the uncritical media acceptance of allegations against Russia, etc. This war is a propaganda campaign wrapped in a psyop.
There are only two possibilities: you either (A) accept the fact that the information ecosystem around this war is too polluted to know very much of anything for certain and adjust your perceptions accordingly, or (B) you believe false things about this war. That’s it.
Propaganda only works on people who don’t know they’re being propagandized. If you’re acutely aware that a historically unprecedented effort is going into manipulating your understanding of what’s happening in a strategically crucial war in the digital age, you’re more grounded.
And of course the propaganda cuts both ways. Obviously it does. Uncritically believing Russia-aligned sources about this war is just as sure to give you an inaccurate picture of events as uncritically believing US/NATO/Ukraine-aligned sources (i.e. all mass media). It’s psyops all the way down.
One thing that helps is rather than forming hard beliefs about what’s going on in this war, assign probabilities instead. Label different narratives zero, low, moderate, high or very high confidence like a spook analyzing intelligence. Might as well, because spooks are distorting it all anyway.
This is one of those situations where your own best guess about what’s happening is infinitely superior to what you’re told by the news media, because at least you know your own best guess is assembled in good faith while you know news media narratives are rife with propaganda distortion. If you’re genuinely interested in understanding what’s going on with this war, get as much information from as diverse an array of sources as possible, preferencing those who don’t appear aligned with any power structure and aren’t egoically or financially invested in any side.
There are 2 wars going on. The virtual war and the real war.
The US is winning the virtual war.
The Russians are winning the real war.
The Ukrainians are losing both the virtual and real wars. These 2 wars will continue until the last Ukrainian.
There’s also an economic war. The US and Russia and China can pump their numbers all they want, but no one’s winning it; especially not outside of those countries. But ultimately, that’s clearly what Globalists see it as; a chance to push their agenda, starting with the one world currency, owned by them, controlling us.
Yes, the economic war is being wage here to crush us first. After crushing us, then they will crush Russia, and then China.
Still haven’t figured out how crushing us first helps them crush Russia and China.
Must be off my meds!
No, it is the Idiots In Charge who are off their meds; the WEF plan makes no sense, and can not possibly work.
“The WEF plans make no sense” Of course they don’t to normal thinking people. Just always remember this. The leftists don’t care if anything makes any sense. “the end justifies the means” doesn’t matter who gets crushed first, the plan is to crush all! Create chaos and move forward with the great reset.
The American people are losing the economic war. With deliberate rail disruptions affecting fertilizer deliveries, we are being set up for something terrible later this year.
We still don’t know who, in this administration, ordered Union Pacific to curtail fertilizer deliveries.
Backed up and over utilized railways is one thing; however, fertilizer should be considered to be critical for food production.
A critical resource should have precedence over appliances and knick-knacks from China.
We can break them. You know what to do. We got a whiff of it recently in Canada. Just the tip of the tip of what we’re capable of. No, not parking trucks in front of government buildings and honking horns.
We pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor to the defeat of these tyrants. Only human.
I don’t think the economic hurt being placed on the Russian economy is hyperboly… the financial attack on Russia will deter their actions
In other words, 🇺🇦 & 🇷🇺 are in a world of hurt right now.
I applaud your optimism.
You may be right about deterrence of the government but IME the Slavs have been through hell the last century and are tough as nails. The people that make up those two countries can survive, and have survived, a lot, both death and destitution. Don’t underestimate their resolve if and when they act.
For that matter, don’t underestimate our resolve, with our meaning we the people. The tyrants have yet to see the full measure of our anger with and hatred of them. Think they won’t? Optimism. Good.
I am not sure the U.S. IS winning the propoganda war.
Traditionally, a new war has the most support, EARLY ON, and it drops steadily thereafter.
I really don’t see a lot of enthusiasm, IN THE PEOPLE, for going to war in Ukraine, despite the drumbeat.
Excellent point, I agree. Decades ago when GW Bush was president I think a lot of America (conservatives and moderates) believed there were WMD’s in Iraq, etc. A lot of us supported that war until we saw in retrospect we had been fed a bucket of lies. Then we had Trump and we saw NO new wars for 4 years with plans to bring our troops home as well. We saw America did not need to be in these endless wars that only profited the elite while maiming and killing our young servicemen and woman.
It’s actually worse than that. Gen. Colon Bowel arsed around with the United Nations crowd for six months delaying and delaying and delaying the Iraq invasion, claiming the US needed 50-some “allies” for the invasion … so they had plenty of time to get their weapons of mass destruction over the border into Jordan. One of their generals said as much after the war.
The big question is why General Powell and Company stalled for so long to give Saddam a chance to get the wmds out of the country and then overthrew him without any clear plan for a successor regime. But Saddam for sure had weapons of mass destruction cuz that is the kind of hairpin he was. A real nasty customer.
Well, then after the (ignored) drum beat is there a false flag? Or something to ginny up support?
I walk around in my neighborhood, a neighborhood that had Biden flags and Trump flags battling out in 2020. I see mailboxes (not many) with yellow and blue bows attached! I just sigh and walk on by.
You would do well to make note of those particular mailboxes and keep the list somewhere. It may come in handy some day.
Has anything significant that Russia has said been significantly wrong?
There is always fog of war but Russia is not going full blast liar mode like the west.
Sound advice, with the addition of Sundances point; WHERE are the citisen cell phone videos?
Ukraine has cell service throughout,…and the citisenry have cell phones.
Why aren’t there lots of youtube videos?
Jamed signals., don’t you know ?
Wouldn’t be surprised. Especially after Zelensky shut down all media and is now State Run.
YouTube censorship.

It’s all the linkage that’s getting your comments held in moderation. This comment contains 9 links….probably not seen when it prints out.
Didn’t realize so many sub links. Thanks.
When the original article has so many hyperlinks embedded in the text (as in the caitlin johnstone article, where the red font identifies the words with underlying hyperlinks), it is necessary to first copy/paste the text into a simple plain text editor which doesn’t handle embedded hyperlinks, on your pc or mobile device. Then, hover your mouse pointer over (or touch with your finger tip) the words that were red in the original website, to make sure the links are gone. Then, copy that text into the Reply block here in CTH.
Here is the result for one paragraph:

I only see the first link.
The forum software doesn’t highlight embedded text links; one must do that manually, and it’s a risk when wholesale copying and pasting from other sources without editing.
I saw all of them by hovering my cursor over the text of the post while scrolling through it. Ad rem nailed it. Their spam settings probably caught it.
I follow Intel Slava Z on telegram, which rings completely true to me. Just a question, has anyone seen verified images or video of the Moskva, the Russian cruiser that supposedly sustained fire damage and sunk while being towed? It is beyond strange that there are no pictures at all.
You saw then that Gonzalo Lira has not turned up since Friday, he lives in Kharkov.
everyone hopes that the power went down and nothing worse has happened to him.
I also follow that channel – yes, no Gonzalo since Friday. Pray for him for sure.
Holiday Weekend.
Looks like the same ship to you? But thanks for the reply.
Yes, it does.
Interesting. Posobiec’s photo of the damaged ship shows calm seas. News reports claimed many sailors could not be rescued due to rough seas and that those same rough seas sunk the ship as it was being towed to port.
Once again, what is the truth?
Analysis on the ship Moskva.

Yes a good one. The one below is also one I read occasionally. Not for faint of heart. However, if one has been following sources we can see which ones provide more details, which ones are more accurate with upcoming movements, which one has more consistent, logical and defensible positions. And it is NOT our side or Ukraines.

The ship sunk at night so likely few pictures.
Call CNN, Thell will tell you the truth. hahahahahahahahahahahha………………………………..

Fwiw. Good sites on Russia/Ukraine events are: sonar21.com, thesaker.is, sott.net, moonofalabama.org, strategic-culture.org, consortiumnews.com, and a plethora of telegram sites.
Don’t forget Patrick Lancaster and Max Clark, both in the Donbas Region.
Patrick’s one from today said the Russians are in control. The place is one bombed out mess.
Are all of these providing a consistent story?
Not identical because that would be coordinated or copied, but at least in the same direction?
All are legit thanks for sharing

Americans Are “In Charge” Of The War Says French Journalist Who Returned From Ukraine
https://greatgameindia.com/americans-in-charge-ukraine-war/
.
Today I talked with my kid who was yanked over there last month to do the grouped NATO forces training. Apparently the deployments are under discussion and somewhat in flux. I am guessing, but I am hoping that this is because NATO countries are not eager to prolong or worsen the situation or get involved. There is a possibility that some of the U.S. troops might be sent home earlier than the six months (or longer we-can’t-say) than they initially were told to expect. Maybe starting even next month. “Or maybe not.”
I am still praying that Putin can finish up his stuff quickly before the propagandists and war mongers can “justify” making things worse.
.
Praying for your family (and all other families trapped in this mess, regardless of their passports. God save us all from the demented criminals in power)
Love the Colonel!
I’ve posted a couple times about how the local conservative radio talk show host keeps telling the audience how the Russians are being badly beaten. I expect to hear the same thing this morning.
Excellent article, and re-emerges the issue of who zelenskyy really is, as the chosen spokesperson for our friends who know what’s better for us than we do.
Family man. Manscaped haircut. Maker of trendy dance videos in skin tight attire. Elected as the Trump of Ukraine, but didn’t do a damn thing he promised.
Meanwhile, back in the states, the masses are under the Impression that Putin simply got a hair upthere, and brazenly just waltzed into Ukraine and started slaughtering babies. They have no idea how long, and why for, this war has been going on.
one last thing, if ever a “we the people” army is formed, I hope to battle under the command of Doug McGregor.
LOL, I also admired his haircut and thought about how nice it looked, yet he dresses grunge

The lives of Ukrainian soldiers mean nothing to Zelensky. They are expendable pawns to be sacrificed for no tactical gain. Ukraine has made zero gains in Donbass in 8 years – and that was before 190,000 Russian troops invaded. He has no chance of retaking the territory.
Fortunately, those in Washington have shown no concern, in previous false narrative situations, of looking rediculous when their narrative is exposed.
In fact, they do it, have done it repeatedly from day one.
The Steal, followed by the Insurrection, followed by Covid, followed by Afganistan rout, followed by Ukraine.
When Russia decimates those Ukranian troops in eastern Ukraine, exposing the Idiots In Charge false narrative of mighty Ukranian army, and fumbling Russian army, they will simply double down, deny, deny, deny while instigating a NEW created false crises/false narrative.
I keep seeing “Unprovoked”, in media account narratives, in the intro; Russias UNPROVOKED invasion of Ukraine. Its not that difficult to see things from Russias point of view, and that is that it wasn’t so much Ukraine that provoked Russia, although the activity in the Dombas region would qualify,..
It was the behavior of the U.S. Government, overturning a Democratically elected President in Ukraine, installing a puppet, and more broadly expanding Nato.
Putting “Unprovoked invasion” in every article is propoganda, and its issued talking points, repeated over and over.
And it ain’t working.
I also appreciate Macgregor throwing cold water on the Nuke talk, which is also propoganda talking points, the old “generate FEAR, to keep the people compliant”.
Have thought all along the Nuke talk was overblown b.s. for the reasons he gives.
Once again affirming the Idiots In Charge will say and do anything, to try to retain control.
Zelenskyy, I doubt is calling any shots in this war.
But he is doing a good PR job and bringing in support.
I just wish everyone could see him dancing in high heels.
Or the other video of him “playing” the piano with his penis (not actually shown but audience given that impression).
He has good scriptwriters.
As usual we are being lied to. Zelensky is on par with Soros, a Jew who aided the Nazis in WWII.
Since being installed as president of Ukraine by powerful people in the US who use Ukraine to launder money, Zelensky who is also Jewish has changed street names and erected status to honor WWII Nazi war criminals.
He has also incorporated the hard core Nazi Azov Battalion into the Ukrainian armed forces back in 2014. Why the Hell are we supporting this Nazi scumbag?
Read this, it’s long but truthful:
https://www.mintpressnews.com/under-fire-from-ukraine-everyday-life-in-the-donetsk-peoples-republic/262363/
Zelensky has not one drop of blood from the original people of Israel, in my opinion
He is no doubt a full blown member of the remnants of the Khazarian Mafia.

I saw a report from a Russian official saying that they were going to be holding ‘trails’ of some sort, and the world will soon learn what was really happening in Ukraine. Also said they have captured many foreign assets in both personnel and specialized equipment.
I’m still of the opinion this is ALL somehow tied to (the swamp) Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, the laptop and Ukraine.
Under rules of war, foreign mercenaries can be subject to trials, and if convicted, jail time or worse.
is Biden going to visit Zelensky? Zelensky (mouthpiece of the CIA) says he should, Biden is an inconvenience and a liability to the Corruptocrats and can only get worse, the Neocons, having neither common sense/conscience/ caution or a reverse gear, seek a Casus Belli. Corruptocrat solution, biggest false flag ever, get Biden into the Ukraine, where he is apparently shot down/shelled etc . Bingo, blame the Russians as demented liability instantly becomes noble hero and the required Casus Belli, to trigger US intervention, generating huge profit for the Int/Ind/Mil groups with large cashback to the Corruptocrats. What do you all think?
Please don’t give the rats any ideas. The last thing we need is for that jackass to be canonized by the left.
I’ve been saying this to the Ukraine cheerleader crowd since the beginning of this conflict…
What’s the difference of Russia putting ICBMs off the US coast in Cuba, and the US threatening Russia off their border in a former Russian territory? Because that is how they see this. Threats to let Ukraine join NATO and help fight a proxy war thru them is no different really….The threat is the same. From their eyes we are the aggressor.
Wait until Russia brings a flotilla of subs off the US coast.
They already have one there.
NATO can no longer be properly regarded as a “defensive” alliance. Someone is now using them as a foil to position military forces specifically within miles of the Russian borders. This is obviously a preparation for yet another pan-European (“world …”) war which is specifically targeting Russia.
Each “new member” and “recent member” was asked to join, not because of its supposed need for defense against an enemy that no longer exists, but for its geographic adjacency to the nation which will be declared to be the next enemy. Military bases are being constructed within mere miles of that border, and then armed to the teeth.
“Occam’s Razor” proves its value once again. Pay no attention at all to what people say – watch only what they do. Watch only what the leaders of NATO are now doing … and exactly where.
US uses NATO membership to establish American military bases in NATO host countries and equip those bases with US fighter aircraft, armaments, and other equipment for war.
Thus, Ukraine joining NATO was a red line for Russia.
Distrust of our corrupt US intelligence community and political establishment leads some to give America’s enemies every benefit of the doubt while viewing everything coming out of DC with a jaundiced eye.
People on the right openly admiring Putin are no different than the leftists who loved Fidel Castro, Ayatollah Khomeini, and Hugo Chavez.
Believe it or not, despite the rampant corruption and some very sketchy policies the US are still the good guys internationally.
Not.
Hmmm, Putin never called me a domestic terrorist.
“…the US are still the good guys internationally.”
I might have believed that before, but too much has happened showing that our State Dept leaders and CIA are NOT good guys.
The more I look into things the more I disagree with takes like this.
American bio weapons labs in foreign countries, US foreign aid covering for massive money laundering, using the DOJ and FBI to jail and convict political opponents, conducting orange political revolutions in the US home country, Pakistan, Ukraine, Iran, Iraq, Egypt and elsewhere around the world, lies and pretexts for instigating wars that never should have been fought, needless killing of civilians, the list is just too damn long.
The US government rests on a bed of lies and evil. It’s not even subtle anymore.
if the “western alliance is going to do something drastic” wouldn’t Russia bombard western media with the true story, with pictures? I understand why Ukraine is holding back from present day, as it happens video but once Donbas is secure, Russia should share their own live video. If western “media” won’t take it I know a lot of alternative sources of media that will air the truth before catastrophe happens.
An Army does not “share live video,” which might reveal military secrets and capabilities.
It is BEYOND obvious to any person willing to review facts, recent political maneuverings and history, that:
> The Z man was chosen by the US to be installed, for the same reasons the D’s chose another actor within the US (AOC). Someone to read lines, willingly compromised or easy to control.
> Everything about Ukraine reeks of putrid dirty deeds foisted upon a nation by Obummer/Biteme and the SEEYIAYEH. A cesspool of greed, millions paid to Hunter and the big guy, bio labs for weaponized product, etc.
> Biteme and the western leaders following their globalist henchmen, pushing NATO hard and fast, to goad Russin into an invasion. Sometimes the statements coming from the puppet’s mouth prior to invasion were so scripted and predictable it seemed laughable.
> We know the WEF needs a massive disruption to launch the BBB reset. Treasury seems to need the same thing to eventually launch a restructuring of all debt and currency, concurrent with the imposition of the digital dollar (and possible destruction of alternatives). Is this why they push so hard for WW3?
> OR, is it always back to the maniacal 3 letter agency that pushes always for some buffer nation to play the patsy against their perceived “most threatening foe”?
Sadly in one form or another, it’s all about control and power. Satan seeks it and most clearly fills the hearts of darkness.
Russia was not “goaded into” this by anyone – let alone anyone in the West. It has been trying, maybe too hard, to secure a diplomatic settlement to these legitimate national security concerns for almost ten years. It finally concluded that the time for talk was finished.
For an extremely scholarly analysis of what’s going on here, check out “thepostil dot com.” An online imprint of St. Augustine Press, its recent articles are both very authoritative and very long. (Of course, they also publish books.) There is no empty politics here.
It has taken me more than an hour to read a single article. You will come away with a much deeper historical perspective on everything that is going on here, and everything that led up to it, going back to the time before the Russian Revolution when the Tsar still ruled the country. Things that you will never find discussed anywhere in our media, or anywhere on the Internet except maybe right here. (And perhaps, “rt dot com.”)
Putin personally has reached out to the west and the US specifically on numerous occasions to join their club and has been snubbed at each attempt. He even asked President Clinton to join NATO. It’s on tape. There literally is no more else that he could have done to have friendly relations.
Wouldn’t give that much credit to the Bidens. They are but a small part of the International Left (socialists in Europe & democrats in America) that has been using Ukraine as their money laundering, drug & weapons smuggling, child sex trafficking headquarters since the fall of the Iron Curtain.
Not only the dems
Trump’s biggest crime against the uniparty was messing with their international bordello, Ukraine. It’s always been Ukraine.
Not a ‘small part’ using Ukraine for laundering, smuggling, trafficking.
It is estimated Ukraine has been laundering $80M per month. The US is not the only participant in the corruption with Ukraine.
Looking ridiculous against all these claims….hmmm, the only people who believe these claims from the start were dRATS and GOPe. The rest of us were on to it. Just waiting for the Tonkin incident to bring boots on the ground.
I am afraid that Russia/Putin is going to genocide these Ukrainian people in eastern Ukraine and everyone will be ok with it because they are nazi or something. Russia has done this (genocide) before. They will kill off whatever opposition whether “nazi” or not. Obviously the western controlled Ukraine are not the good guys bu neither is Russia. I feel terrible for the people caught up in this.
.
What is he supposed to do with them is the dilemma. A week into this Putin offered to talk about reasonable cease-fire terms. Zelensky refused and has continued to refuse.
The Azov troops have been terrorizing and killing “slavic” and Russian Ukrainians — civilians included — for years. It is, perhaps, akin to if BLM had taken over complete control of Portland, and were armed, trained military rather than “Chaz” rabblerousers (also, btw, secretly sanctioned and/or ignored by the government).
Now, apparently, many of these troops, which Zelensky disgustingly calls his finest troops, are trapped, and most, albeit not all, refuse to surrender. This is horrible, but “genocide” apparently is yet another word that the left conveniently is re-defining for propaganda purposes. Zelensky has the power to end this but apparently his 1.4 billion in waiting bribe money including his 34 million post-presidential digs in Sunny Isles, Florida (and embrace by Hollywood?), are too compelling to him to give up.
.
Fear can be soothed by actually informing yourself about the situation instead of believing the ‘default’ narrative (who does this anymore and why???)
Except then you might have the same fears but in the opposite direction. Because Ukrainians are everything you think Russians are and worse. They are seeded throughout our government, they were instrumental in smearing Trump. They are pushing this war. Please wake the hell up.
Mann, you need to provide some citations on examples of Russian genocide instead of just declaring it.
Putin is intervening to save the people of eastern Ukraine who are Russian speaking and have been attacked by the Ukrainian government since 2014 with things like cluster bombs. The Human Rights Watch organization call them out for it but no one paid any attention.
It looks like he is reading from a script. It is CNN.
Drastic needs to be off the table. We have no dog in this fight.
While I am joined by many in revulsion over Putin’s destructive actions, his sinister design is not a reason for us to directly engage with Russia. This is Ukraine’s fight, and supplying defensive weapons so they can defend their land and people is the limit of our martial response.
We as a population need to make it clear to the Globalists that we support no direct action against Russia in Ukraine. Period.
Every FJB narrative is rapidly collapsing, Hunter crimes, 2000 Mules in 2020, genocidal JABS and energy inflation. EPA solution is to force E15 to replace E10. Burning 50% more subsidized CORN JUICE will further increase fertilizer and food costs. These Malthusian Maniacs are at the end of their evil reign.
When the “Empire of Lies” rules thru complete control of the “Truth Ministries” reality is deemed fiction and our desired fiction is deemed reality. You have been trained to obey and not to question.
In the digital world, it will be the lie we choose it to be.
Gonzalo Lira has disappear ( https://thesaker.is/gonzalo-lira-is-missing/ ), Col. Macgregor, Tucker and The Treehouse, The Vineyard, SouthFront, Ron Paul, Consortium News may all be next.
So many comments here and throughout the media about what Putin thinks, what he’s really planning, etc. But seriously ask yourself…….have you ever actually read a transcript of any of his speeches?
Not news reports summarizing his words, peppered with a few quotes….the actual complete transcript.
It’s kinda like watching the nightly news vs. taking the time to watch CSPAN.
The “news” is not the news.
Putin will win this war. What happens after that?
Unpredictable, but seems like major change.
Agreed, there is a complete disconnect between what Mr. Putin has actually said (almost always quite eloquently) and what he is “reported to say”. This is exactly point about the Ministries of Truth teaching everyone that the reality IS the lies they spin.
Another thing about what Mr. Putin says is striking – he never uses hyperbole and he does pretty much exactly what he says he is going to do. His words, thought pattern and logic is strikingly odd in its starkness to “western” sound bites and narrative rollouts.
Has anyone else noticed the last (or last 2 paragraphs) of every RT article about the Ukraine over the past couple of weeks?
“Russia attacked the neighboring state in late February, following Ukraine’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, first signed in 2014, and Moscow’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. The German and French brokered protocols were designed to give the breakaway regions special status within the Ukrainian state.”
“The Kremlin has since demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force.”
It seems Mr. Putins actions are simple, factual and their aims are clearly stated (repeatedly) for all to see. No mission creep here.
Lara Logan agrees with you. She has some very insightful comments on rumble.com.

The only way to potentially “win” a nuclear exchange, is to be the first to launch against any and all adversaries that may retaliate. To start talking about an exchange is to invite your enemy to launch first. From what I can gather Russia has superior first strike capabilities, and it seems China is now capable of launching around the south pole, we may never see it coming.
General Milley will keep them advised.
Zelensky will do & say what ever his WEF / NWO Puppet masters tell him to do !
Dementia Joe will do & say what ever his WEF / NWO Obama Puppet masters tell him to do !
Meanwhile the American people are dropping dead from their idiot governments foolish deadly vaccine program of BioWarfare and their total mismanagement of anything that resembles an energy policy that will soon have us fighting amongst ourselves to keep from starving while Putin does exactly what our DEEP STATE parasites want , make war over shit they perpetrated from their foreign policy failures and paint Russia & Putin as the bad guys as their famous blame game !
This while our alleged elected representatives scurry about covering up each other’s shit like a group of feral cats !
When questioned regarding anything of substance they all suck one thumb and rotate the other up their collective worthless assholes !
Then with the skill and precision of a military drill team on command and in unison they switch thumbs and the MSM cheer like high school cheer leaders
We are so screwed !
Col Macgregor’s our Paul Revere.
The Globalists are coming with a War Near You.
Americans’ only self-defenses:
• Work Walkouts that force corporations to abandon Regime Support.
• Youth Protests against War and the upcoming Draft of young women & men.
• Stolen Election Reversal.
Things will now go UGLY.
Zelensky ~ a puppet today and then the scapegoat when The Globalist Cabal doesn’t achieve their goals. Sucks to be him. But hey, he wanted the job.
Col Macgregor is excellent – bringing some sober analysis to counter the complete propagandization by the US and European news outlets. These two guys offer excellent analysis – very knowledgeable in geopolitics, especially Russian and European politics and history. Extremely well-informed and posting every single day, analyzing developments as they happen. On YT they are The Duran, and also Alexander Mercouris has his own channel and posts daily, so there is plenty of analysis. What Col Macgregor says, they have been saying for weeks. A good way to stay ahead of the lies of the MSM. Here is today’s video from The Duran:
Zelinsky is the George Floyd of NATO.
😂
It is a Propaganda war. … He would be detached from the actual reality of the situation on the ground. It provides plausible deniability of actual events or conditions. It is a standard operational tactic. This current control of the narrative will be used to show Putin’s escalation in the Donbas region, necessitating the immediate involvement of NATO forces to “protect” Ukrainian sovereignty.
I wish the Biden Administration had as much concern for the US Sovereignty on the southern border as they do with the Ukrainian sovereignty. The dilution of our vote is the general purpose of the open borders, and to pacify the World Order.
I don’t know what to think of how the battle is actually going, but I don’t care. I am much more worried about how it is affecting our betters in Washington DC, where they are all singing the same stupid tune. Putin bad, Ukraine is good, and we have to be helping the good guys. When our rhetoric starts to sound like a chorus, we are getting ourselves worked up about something that should have little affect on us no matter how it comes out. I believe we should just let the Europeans figure out what they want to do about their borders and let us spend more time worrying about our own borders.
I know, that sounds too much like right.
He has to stay in sight he has a price on his head frame Russia for assignation go to war. Talk is plenty of POW foreign fighters some bigs from UK US NATO. Proxy war to be exposed.
There is no point in denying that the Russians have suffered some bloody noses. Their casualties in men and material have been far higher than I imagine the expected. The Javelins and NLAWs have proven their worth many time over in destroyed Russian tanks and AFVs. You do not advance on Kiev from three different vectors, get to the outskirts, then totally withdraw as a feint or a ploy. They left with their tail between their legs. That being said, the Kiev offensive was a hail-mary attempt. It was not the primary objective, which is in the East. They also had to fish the crew of their Black Sea flag ship out of the water after it burned and sank. Not a good look. In the East it seems the Russians may be grinding down their opponents and achieving their primary objective. However, that remains to be seen. Mariupol seems to be stubbornly holding out, and the maps I have seen have shown very little progress since the first weeks of the invasion.
I’m not a fan of either Russians or Ukrainians, and frankly, I think they deserve each other. At the outset I was pulling for a quick Russian victory, just to get it over with. However, the Russians have proven far more incompetent than I thought, and the Western technological weapons more effective against armored columns than expected. This is going to be a long hard ugly slog.
Right now, I am rooting for a tie and lots of injuries, with my team on the sidelines.
No one tells “the truth” in war, so the best approach was offered by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle when he pointed out that the answer to the mystery was the dog that didn’t bark. Focus on what you are not seeing, and the overall picture may become somewhat clearer.
I am all for listening to the dog that doesn’t bark, but I’m not going to ignore the one that does bark too. Of course, we are only getting half of the story, but though the haze of propaganda there are unassailable facts. The Russians lost their flag ship. The Russians were on the doorstep of Kiev, but not any more. There are lots of pictures of burnt out Russian tanks and BMP’s.
Ukrainians are lying propagandists.
or
Russians are incompetent buffoons.
I say, embrace the possibility of AND.
You got the Kiev encirclement wrong. Scott Ritter says it was a feint to keep the Ukrainian troops in the north occupied while the Russians were preparing the battlefield in the west.
The Russians did not leave Kiev with their tail between their legs. This is a classic Russian military strategy which they have used many times before and the Kiev maneuver was according to plan. It is ignorant American media drivel to fool a gullible public who doesn’t know any better.
What was Scott Ritter saying about the encirclement of Kiev before the Russians retreated? Was he saying it was only a ploy, a classic Russian military trick? Or was he saying Kiev was destined to fall? I have studied military history all my life. That was not a classic Russian diversion. The only thing classically Russian about it was that it was a gross waste of men and material, that is definitely classic Russian.
The Russian retreat from the area close to Kiev was not brought about by the fierce defense of the Ukrainians. It was a show of good faith during negotiations. Bombing a supply depot (shopping mall) in Kiev was defensive. If Russians wanted to attack Kiev, they would have leveled it.
Yes and no. I think the Russians realized that the ONLY way they were going to take Kiev would have been to level it. It wasn’t going to be an uncontested day march. They didn’t want to level it, for whatever reason — avoid infrastructure damage, avoid civilian casualties, avoid looking like savages to the West. But their logistic tail was too long and too vulnerable. They couldn’t take it without leveling it, but they could continue to sit outside the gates either. So, they retreated and gave their propagandists the “misdirection ploy” story. I’m not saying you are a Russian propagandist, just that you fell for it and are repeating it. That was no ploy.
It seems like CNN is trying to get ahead of this story.

With so much flotsam and jetsam in the mass media, I’m beginning to question my watch having the correct time.
