As we contemplate the massive $40 billion transfer of U.S. taxpayer funds to Ukraine, a few things need to be emphasized.
First, congress has decided to pay the salaries, benefits and pensions of Ukraine political officials and citizens. As U.S. citizens try and figure out how to afford housing, gasoline, food and basic goods, congress has decided to subsidize another country. That’s the first point.
Second, as to the pragmatic question of “to what end?” There was a critical point made last week by Defense Intel Agency (DIA) Director Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier, that not a single media outlet or politician discussed. During his briefing to the Senate Armed Services Committee, Berrier was asked “can Ukraine win” the conflict against Russia?
Lt. General Berrier replied: “That is a difficult predication to make. I think where the assessment is at, is a prolonged stalemate should no factor change on either side. In other words, the Russians continue to do what they’re doing, and we continue to do what we are doing for the Ukranians.” WATCH:
The Pentagon assessment is the best that can be achieved is a stalemate. Billions of billions of dollars being poured into Ukraine, and the most likely outcome is a stalemate. More people killed, an endless need for continued money to be poured into the ‘war’, and the best possible outcome is a stalemate.
So, riddle me this, why isn’t the U.S. policy position advocating for Zelenskyy and Putin to enter negotiations for a resolution?
What possible U.S. interest can be advanced, knowing the only outcome is a stalemate, where people are killed on either side and money spent on a proxy conflict that ends in loggerheads at some distant point months from now?
Also, why has no U.S. media outlet or pundit played the remarks and assessment from the Defense Intelligence Agency, so that the American people can understand the intent of U.S. policy?
Its primary purpose is as a distraction
So, riddle me this, why isn’t the U.S. policy position advocating for Zelenskyy and Putin to enter negotiations for a resolution?
“We need to ignore the war and keep an eye on their endgame.
And this means that we need to keep in mind the long-term aims of the conspirators.
They want more deaths, they want digital passports, they want a cashless society, they want an energy crisis, they want global poverty and massive unemployment. In the UK, the Government is pushing through a mass of scary new legislation. (If you haven’t seen it please watch my video entitled ‘It’s Time to be Terrified’ which was first published on 4th February 2022.)
I’m afraid that the only thing that matters to us is that Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine will help them with all of those things.
And so those are the things we should concentrate on and concerning ourselves with.
We should ignore this war and continue to fight our own war for our freedom.
Time is rapidly running out.
I fear that we have until the end of 2022 to defeat them.
We have ten months left and the ticking of the clock is deafening.
This is no time for distractions of any kind.
https://expose-news.com/2022/03/01/what-is-this-war-in-ukraine-really-about/“
Here is a riddle I can’t answer, from the beginning Ukraine was out gunned and it was a forgone conclusion the conflict would end in total defeat or negotiation. It started towards this until the West started pumping in arms, advisors, money and mercenaries. Why would Zelensky or Any Leader destroy their own Country, pulverizing their cities, decimating their people all the while knowing the West is using them and in the end it will be negotiation. What does the Leader gain because their Countrymen lost their heritage, homes, life. I contend Azov will vie for power after this ends and Ukraine becomes a failed State the politicians on both sides own but US tax payers will pay for a very long time. There is something in Ukraine that Washington does not want exposed so they will bury the Country instead.
Why?
A: Zelensky is raking in millions of dollars for himself and his cronies.
B: Zelensky has no control over the Ukrainian Militias and no authority to make any deal with Russia. Only the United States has that power.
“[I]t was a forgone conclusion the conflict would end in total defeat or negotiation.“
US intelligence assets made the assessment that Ukrainian would lose quickly. This is the same crew that predicted the Taliban would need at least ten years to defeat the US-backed regime after our departure.
Have these wackos in Congress forgotten the inevitable “mutual destruction” in an all-out nuclear conflict?
I don’t believe Putin wants a war. He is not on my Christmas card list, but I think he’s merely trying to protect Russia’s flanks from a perceived threat from NATO as well as regain “some” of the glory of the former empire. Ukraine is not next to our border as is Mexico or Canada.
However, if the Dems/Libs keep “poking the bear” he just might land a single “don’t screw with me any longer” punch. An American airplane, US Navy carrier or nuclear submarine might not be the safest place in the world in the immediate future……accidents do happen – LORD FORBID.
Don’t discount the Iranians in trying to slip in a punch giving America a bloody nose. I don’t think our political hierarchy could multitask more than one crisis at a time – IF they could even identify one.
What would Biden and our wimp ass Congress do in either case – – write a strongly worded letter, eat an ice cream come – send Kamala Toe on a peace mission?
Once Congress realizes THEIR OWN LIVES & PROPERTY are really at stake, they’ll become pacifists in a heartbeat.
Don’t worry though – it will not be an all out war. China will not enter into it. They’ll just wait until its over to pick up the pieces worth salvaging. They’ll bide their time until the fallout dissipates. After all, who would be left to stop them – France? Ha!
Where’s my dogtags? Get my walker and cane. Who took my M14? I lost the bayonet. Dammit.
CONE not come!
Ukraine was no threat to Russia in ANY way. Putin already could have gotten a promise of no NATO admission for Ukraine or any military bases in Ukraine. His entire fiasco of an invasion and associated war crimes was unnecessary.
All he accomplished by attacking a harmless Ukraine is to convince neutral Finland and Sweden that they must now join NATO for protection against an aggressive and irrational Russia.
Did you just return from Mars vacation…??? Since May 2014 till Feb.2022 ukr army kiled least 13 oo0 civilians in the eastern Ukr.
When you are captured by an impress gang, issued a Mosin-Nagant rifle and thrown into combat you lose your “civilian” status.
Are you implying that the the US-taxpayer-sponsored nazis in the Ukraine, in shelling (for most of the last eight years) the population centers of the “untermenschen” who populate the Donbass, only killed people with Mosin-Nagant rifles? If so, I am impressed. I had no idea their artillery was so discriminating.
Keep drinking the Kool aid. Ya know, whatever helps you sleep at night. Putin has, over the years discussed the Ukraine and NATO expansion and what was and was not acceptable. The Ukraine has been the route of two invasions into Russia. With the coup in 2014 and constant shelling of the Donbass region, failure of Western powers to enforce the Minsk agreements, Russia has a legitimate beef. The Russian people are worried Putin will negotiate too soon, setting too soon.
That is complete nonsense, completely divorced from reality. This war didn’t just start. “Harmless” Ukraine has been attacking ethnic Russian Ukrainians in Donbas for 8 years!! Ever since the US sponsored regime change empowered a rabidly anti-Russian, ultranationalist regime backed by neo-nazi militias, yes nazi thugs, who started a civil war with the Russian majority eastern Ukraine. Donbas ethnic Russians/civilians have been under siege for 8 years. Where was the outrage and tears for them? Crickets from the criminals in power, their presstitute media accomplices nor all of the virtue signaling sheople (who can’t locate Ukraine on a map) as they had not had their emotionally driven opinions issued to them yet by media. Ukraine refused to enforce the Minsk agreement to end hostilities in Donbass, continued the attacks and were planning moves on Crimea and escalation in Donbas. This all probably never would have happened had the neo-con criminals had not violated Ukrainian sovereignty to orchestrate regime change next door to Russia, funding and empowering repugnant fascist thugs and setting in motion conflict. This entire mess was avoidable but provoked by the west, who continues to pour gasoline on the fire rather than trying to find a solution.
M7 available on Amazon.
M7 is, I believe, for the M16.
The M14 used the M6 if my memory serves me correct.
Ah, the M-14 that this Marine trained with. Easy to qualify prone with no one shooting at you. Only use was to get young recruits used to a recoil and loud bang. Otherwise, too big, too heavy and useless as teats on a boar for jungle use.
It’s interesting here them say allies. This is certainly missing leading since you have countries like Germany supporting Russia and Ukraine. And, not really supporting NATO funding.
“Thinking through” is not a strategy, cowboy! Our military supplies are at a very low point right now, just like our strategic oil reserves.
This is the situation when losers are in charge of the storehouse…on the way to our destruction. Kind of like the Warsaw Jews who should have been buying ammo instead of guns. Know history. Be prepared.
Maybe the Biden gang is working on their “getting out of town money”.
When the electric grid goes down (a real possibility) that will be their “walking around money”.
That begs the next question: “Is satisfying their greed the object or do they have more sinister plans for the money they’re offshoring?
Both. Whether it’s McConnell or Pelosi, the Uni-Party career politicians (criminals!), will have their hands out for the 10% kickback that Biden was getting. Foreign aid is a big money-laundering grift, the $700 million that was given to Sudan a while back is a good example …
If one was paying attention, one would see Russia getting away from the dollar reserve and then pushing it on others could not go on.
Russia declared war on NATO as Ukraine would not state publicly it would remain neutral. Russia would not have NATO border Russia. And now Finland will join NATO? There is now another flank in the war.
The Russians are fighting in Ukraine against US technology and weapons.
But this is not about Ukraine. It is about US dollar reserve and Western economics.
Exactly. The US is the guardian of the fiat (debt=money) racket. That theft system goes down and all government hegemony disappears. At one time, money represented the true value of goods and services. No more. Money’s is determined by how much of it those in power create and place into circulation. Ergo, the racketeers in power determine the value of our money.
Wow, what an utterly brilliant way for the Global Cabal, which includes most of Congress, to totally gut our economy for their own benefit. They can pretend to be virtuous and generous for “saving” Ukraine from “evil” Putin while laundering billions and billions through Zelensky for themselves, while millions of braindead Americans cheer them on and the Americans who see the scam for what it is are villainized.
We the People are the problem.
We are the problem for allowing the politicians and bureaucrats to burn, rape and pillage the USA.
We are the problem for allowing the politicians and bureaucrats to send billions and billions of dollars to Ukraine.
We are the problem for allowing the politicians and bureaucrats to continue to breath air.
You are 100 per cent correct sir. If 7-4-22 goes by without shots being fired at fitting targets, then turn in your chits baby.
We have always been at war with Eastasia.
I thought we were always at war with Eurasia…
Orwell was prescient.
we are always at war with someone
Russia is a proud nationalist country refusing to drink the kool-aid of globalism. It must therefore be destroyed. And BTW Biden/dem cabal do not worry about losing the mid-term elections because they know it doesn’t matter…globalists not U.S. elected officials call the shots.
Just got paid today, got me a pocketfull of change.
I have difficulty believing that Russia could possibly lose any war or conflict with Ukraine. One would have to believe that Russia has no military might whatsoever in comparison with a country the size of “the” Ukraine. That they have no nuke subs, no aircraft, no bombs of any power and are woke idiots like the democrats in America. Have the people of the world lost their collective minds?
“…they have no nuke subs, no aircraft, no bombs of any power…”
Neither did Hanoi.
As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market-Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.
We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market-Place;
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its ice-field, or the lights had gone out in Rome.
With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch.
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch.
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings.
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “Stick to the Devil you know.”
On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “The Wages of Sin is Death.”
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “If you don’t work you die.”
Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew,
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four—
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.
. . . . . . .
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man—
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began:—
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
Rudyard Kipling
Prepare for Terror and Slaughter, the Truth cannot be long withheld without dire consequences.
“…why isn’t the U.S. policy position advocating for Zelenskyy and Putin to enter negotiations for a resolution?”
Could it be that the basis for the US Policy Position regarding Russia is wrong? Could it be that the assessment that Russia is a first-world military power is simply counter to reality?
The Russian military has absorbed losses it can’t sustain. A large percentage of its equipment lies broken or useless throughout Northeastern Ukraine. Replacement in a timely manner, cannot occur because Russia does not have the economic chops to make it happen.. It’s expeditionary ground forces have sustained losses to the tune of 30%, likely more. Strategically, the Russian Army has exhibited a dunderheadedness that boggles the imagination. How many Russian military “geniuses” have been killed or have disappeared in the past three months? And, don’t look now, but Russia’s Black Sea Fleet has suffered unimaginable losses.
The Pentagon is fighting a Russia of Cold War capabilities. That Russia no longer exists! With Western equipment, Western advisors and outright determination, is it possible that Ukraine could not only turn back the invasion, but could reclaim previously annexed territory?
The dirty little secret is that Russia is getting whipped and embarrassed. Look at the evidence!
appears that you are looking at the propaganda rather than actual evidence.
So now it is beholden upon you to show us the akshewl evidence so as free us from our delusion.
It is obvious , JVC, you are either grossly ill informed, or a Russian sympathizer.
By what measure of “success” are you judging that Russia is being anything but humiliated in Ukraine. And do enlighten us with the details of those Russian successes.
It’s almost as if puffing up our adversaries’ capabilities justifies massive defense and intel spending and creates careers for lots of officers…
“[I] it possible that Ukraine could not only turn back the invasion, but could reclaim previously annexed territory?”
Ukraine could reclaim Crimea militarily but political support for the claim would be uncertain.
Certainly, but easier without political interference from a chastised Mother Russia. Only two months ago, it was viewed as a military impossibility.
NATO would have to endorse the move, which they should but France will veto the idea.
NATO will enthusiastically celebrate any Ukraine victory and attempt to outdo each other patting their own backs. Macron especially.
But, you’re getting ahead of yourself. It has to happen first.
I am amazed by the fact that a war torn country such as the Ukraine, which is still hot, is so dangerous for its own citizens that Hollyweirdos, communists from our own government, and others such as these can travel there without regard to their own safety. Very curious, I must say.
Unless you are in Southeastern Ukraine, you have little to fear.
We can assume that US politicians are salivating in expectations of the kickbacks they will reap from the $40 Billion, donations from defense contractors, etc. That is the Small Taters aspect.
The US Dollar has been tottering as the world reserve currency, due to pressure from Russia, China, Middle East, etc., and pushed to the brink by the hyperinflation caused by US fiscal and monetary profligacy.
Wars trigger flight of money to “safe havens”, (safe compared to other options).
Since at least WWII, this has meant the US dollar and dollar-denominated assets/commodities.
Perpetual war in Ukraine props up the dollar and secures its role as the reserve currency, putting off the day of reckoning. Huge political advantages for individual pols and the US debt-conomy; huge potential profits for the elite money jugglers (and/or avoidance of losses). That’s the Big Taters.
Substantive critique welcomed.

The “grift” must flow. How else for the American Empire to function if it cannot launder it’s stolen money and engage in its evil experiments if not through another captured and corrupt country.
Pray for Peace.
Hold on folks, the goal is precisely that: to stalemate Russia indefinitely, keeping Putin mired in a never-ending war. This is to support the ultimate goal of regime-changing Putin, and Biden already spilled the beans on that a couple of months ago, while we also have already had the clear admission from SecDef that the goal was to weaken Russia. Of course, Putin is smart enough to know that this is the game and he will not allow it to go this way. When the goals of Russia’s current op are achieved, he will probably give the Ukies and US-NATO at least a little chance to cease and desist hostilities, to accede to all of Russia’s demands on the Zelensky-US-puppet government, but if they do not yield, esp if Zelensky is pushed to retake Donbas, Crimea, and other regions secured by Russia’s first op, then Putin will finish the job with an all-out takeover of Ukraine.
