In a statement today from the White House, Joe Biden has pledged “to continue providing Ukraine with the support needed to defend itself, including advanced air defense systems.” [link] The statement comes as a result of a phone call between Biden and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Two days ago, a bridge between Russia and Crimea was bombed by Ukraine causing a section of the bridge to collapse. Yesterday, Vladimir Putin retaliated with missile strikes against several cities in Ukraine and key infrastructure for energy.
The U.S. State Dept and CIA are continuing to lead and coordinate the Ukraine war effort with U.S. personnel in place to organize operations. [link]
Like the bombing of the Nordstream pipeline, it is highly likely the Kerch Strait bridge targeting was planned by Ukraine and the United States. However, we are not permitted to speak about these coordinated efforts. The bottom line is the U.S. Biden administration going further toward direct engagement with Russia via the proxy state of Ukraine.
KYIV, Ukraine — President Vladimir V. Putin unleashed a far-reaching series of missile strikes against cities across Ukraine on Monday, hitting the heart of Kyiv and other areas far from the front line, in the broadest assault against civilians since the early days of Russia’s invasion.
Mr. Putin said the strikes on almost a dozen cities were retaliation for a blast that destroyed sections of a bridge linking Russia to the Crimean Peninsula, though they also seemed intended to appease hard-liners in Russia who had been openly critical over the prosecution of the war.
Denouncing the bombing of the Kremlin-built bridge, an embarrassing blow, as a “terrorist attack,” Mr. Putin threatened more strikes if Ukraine hit Russian targets again.
“No one should have any doubt about it,” he said. (read more)
BIG PICTURE – The baseline for the global aspect to the Ukraine conflict remains rooted in the economic cleaving underway. Saudi Arabia has expressed their alignment with OPEC+, including Russia, on a coordinated oil supply. The NATO alliance broadly wants to pressure their partners away from oil, coal and natural gas. Thus, today in addition to the phone call with Zelenskyy, Joe Biden called German Chancellor Olaf Scholz:
“President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke today with Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany. The leaders reiterated their condemnation of Russia’s attempted annexation of Ukrainian territory, as well as their ongoing commitment to hold Russia accountable for its brutal actions and provide security and economic assistance to Ukraine. The leaders also discussed recent developments in global energy markets and the importance of securing sustainable and affordable energy supplies.” (link)
The western ideologues, politicians, corporations and banks (yellow on map) are trying to force a new global energy system. However, there is opposition from multiple nations (grey on map) who see the effort to shift away from oil, coal and natural gas as economic suicide.
We are now starting to see currencies like Brazil and Mexico having greater stability and growth than the value in U.S. dollars. That said, in the long term the economics of this conflict will ultimately decide the outcome.
The citizens within the western alliance nations are suffering the consequences of the global economic cleaving. Energy driven inflation, a purposefully created problem, is creating a recession amid the western alliance nations. The monetary policy of U.S., EU, CA, NZ and AU is currently constructed to lower economic activity to support the reduced amount of energy resources available.
Specifically, because the Ukraine conflict is being used as a justification for political economic and monetary policy, there appears to be no limit in what the U.S. will do to widen the ideological war against Russia. Unfortunately, the era of great pretending forbids anyone from talking openly about the true root of the issue.
It seems clear now that NATO, led by the USA, is willing to escalate a European war if that’s what it takes to protect the climate change goals.
Without Russia as the bad guy, the Build Back Better agenda becomes naked to the world. The Ukraine conflict provides a visible shield to prevent any larger discussion. Reference the attempt by Elon Musk to mitigate the Ukraine conflict by talking about a peace deal with Russia keeping the Russian speaking eastern Ukraine. In the week since that proposal became international fodder for ridicule, the conflict in Ukraine has intensified. This is not coincidental.
We are pretending our way into a war.
What about going back n front of congress and stating the case first…. Isn’t their supposed to be a vote?
what a quaint notion, Tiff
“stating the case first”
They cant/wont.
We are getting dragged into a discretionary regional war of choice, for which we are sending tens of billions of Dollars, risking global stability, and of zero strategic relevance to us, simply to expand our Globalist nobilitys span of control.
Got to keep the Ukie laundromat fully operational you know.
Read the head of the teachers union visited there to access the situation, this is the woman that fought to keep schools closed, mo $$$, mo $$$.
Well some of those billions are coming back to the USA!
Bummer that it’s all going into democrat accounts…
Sadly, it’s not just going into Democrat accounts.
That would be so if we were at war. But see, we are only supporting Ukraine and advising them. Nothing to see here. Move along.
These are all CIA/State department ops. Not military.
Yes, and our military people who can still fight, are compromised by those kill shots into their arms. This is a lose-lose situation all around.
Both sides are so stupid or deranged they would vote for the war.
Oregon’s very own, recently minted RINO, Rep. Cliff Bentz, couldn’t back the democrats fast enough when it came to putting Ukraine and the Zelensky launder mat first. He’d vote for it. Priorities you know.
Biden’s goal is to create worldwide chaos before the midterms then he will try to cancel the midterms via Dictator rule.
I think this is about more than the midterms; its not a “shiny object” to distract us from the midterms.
Doesn’t mean they won’t use it as an excuse,..they must know, on some level that the midterms are NOT going to be good for the Uniparty.
I am convinced this Ukraine move was all planned out, to happen after Hillary took over, say around 2018.
They set it up with the Maiden CIA Coup, and it was all set to go, and then DJT interupted their plans, so they postponed for 4 years.
Looking like an irresistable force meeting an unmovable object; I see no reason to think either side is going to blink, or back down.
Agree!
Seems the Russiaphobia really amped up during Hillarys time at State Department.

-wrong red button -?
Uranium one ring a bell?
Oh wait, that got shoved under the rug with a hundred other crimes, right hunter?
Not just Uranium One but also Skolkovo and the technology hyper-missile technology transfer:
Skolkovo: Hillary Clinton’s Treasonous Russian Connections (gulagbound.com)
Her stupid misspelled Reset button aside. She’s been a filthy grifter all her life.
Ding. Ding. Ding. I knew someone was going to mention that.
Didn’t it say “overcharge” or something gloriously suitable?
Russiaphobia has been pushed upon western societies since ww2.
On February 7, 2014, while protests raged in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev and the White House professed neutrality, U.S. State Department officials were, in the words of NYU professor emeritus of Russian studies Stephen Cohen, “plotting a coup d’état against the elected president of Ukraine.”
Who might the US State Department’s (central) point person be on Ukraine: Victoria Nuland.
https://genius.com/Victoria-nuland-on-a-planned-coup-detat-in-ukraine-annotated
We need to purge all Ukie-pukes from any positions in our government. Her grandfather was a Banderite Ukie-puke. Vindmans were Ukie-puke immigrants. Ahhhhlexxxahhhhhndrahhh Chalupa? Ukie-puke. How many more?
That one pestilential little corrupt country has caused the downfall of mine. I hope it is flattened by the Russians.
Ukraine is the center of EU and Western Globalist corruption.
Think about who we know was involved over there, via seeing them visit there when their official government job does not require them to be over there (in addition to Obama’s Embassy team) or they were involved with Ukranian energy companies (for an energy source the current WH is blocking here):
Zelensky has so much dirt on these people. He’s got them all. So, they continue to send money for a small % to be kicked back. Why else would they not be tracking the money? Or ensuring proper allocation of the funds?
Not one Ukranian citizen has benefited from this money- politicians have been paid, and it’s prolonging a war that Ukraine would have been forced to surrender to long ago.
Her Ukrainian roots are deep and strong. A vindman in a dress
And McCain and Graham visited the Ukraine battalions and promised offensive, not defensive, action in 2017. https://tinyurl.com/y4f7b2fd. These senators should have been removed instead of being allowed to go after Trump and destroy our nation. Graham is still at it with his warmongering.
There’s a special playroom in the Ukraine for Graham.
No backing down ? Yup, Iraq and Afghanistan were outstanding successes.
Don’t you think by now China Joe would have sent the military in already? Maybe, just maybe he does not control the military which is why he can only send in money and arms.
Our military ‘leaders’ are all in on this too. The flag officers advance their careers and get lucrative gigs after retirement on the bodies of the working class grunts.
They don’t care a lick about the troops if it means a promotion or a nice big check from Raytheon.
Biden doesn’t even know what year it is. Just a puppet.
Three weeks left. Biden’s goal is not to demonstrate full blown dementia before his handler is done with him.
Too late
The next time I hear someone say “our democracy” ,
I’m gonna unilaterally vote to kick their ass.
Thats our democracy.
So where’s crazy Cindy Sheehan, the democrat media’s favorite anti-war protestor?
She seems to have disappeared after Obama took office.
Now the Leftwing hypocrites are the warmongers.
“All we are saying, is give PEACE a chance…”
I thought the leftists used to love this song. I don’t hear it playing anymore.
It’s hard to sing that or Kum Ba Yah when they’re busy looting, beating up innocent citizens, burning down cities, chanting threats against conservative Justices, and tearing down statues of America’s founders and heroes.
Both parties and our military leadership are war mongers when they smell money. And they know how to sell it. Go all the way back to WWII. We are brainwashed as school children about what a great victory that was. How does half of Europe becoming part of a communist state where WE fought for the Soviet Union equate to a great victory?
I wish that old coot cared as much for America as he does Ukraine.
He does. Biden doesn’t care about Ukraine, either.
Exactly.
America and Ukraine have BOTH been overthrown by the same wicked Cabal.
But the Lion is Coming…
Putin vs. Globalists, with innocent people paying the price.
Where is FJB gonna find those missile launchers?
Walmart?
Didn’t he recently talk to the Taliban? Didn’t he leave a bunch of our equipment there when we left Afghanistan? Are we going to buy that back?
We would have to buy our stuff back from the Mexican Cartels at this point..
Remember, basically all of these people want us killed, and that includes Xi and Putin. There aren’t any good guys. There very well may be a power struggle among the highest echelons, but they still agree that most of us should be dead. On that, they’ve agreed.
I disagree. Neither Putin nor Xi has intimated a desire to liquidate, starve, and poison the majority of the human race. In contrast to our ghouls, their national interests seem reasonable. They seek their nations to thrive. I note that China defines this as including the right to feast on the wealth of others, but the intention is limited and observable. Putin is seeking survival for his nation in the new game of kill everyone ushered in with the bioweapon. The plan is now obvious, to destroy Russia, reduce its population, and make the WEF rule the world.
The WEF are all so old that they can’t rule their BMs.
Yet the rule. From the porcelain Throne.
Not!! Your wrong.
Not Putin; you’ve been sadly brainwashed by the Swamp politicians and the corporate media.
China’s communist leadership wants U.S. farmland and resources for China’s benefit, and is willing to wipe out 3/4 of our population in order to grab it. That was made clear in 2005. Look it up.
However Putin has NO designs on America and simply wishes to secure Russia from fascist imperialist aggression by undisguised Nazi forces in Ukraine and disguised Nazis who have taken control in Europe (i.e, the EU), and who are masquerading as NATO members while the U.S taxpayer is forced to bear the majority of the cost.
I believe it was laid out on a book titled,”Unrestricted Warfare” by a colonel.
It laid out a plan for “space to live”.
Biden threatened to kill fellow Americans with F-16s more than once, when did Putin expressly mention his desire to kill American citizens? Let us know what evidence you have to prove your assertion.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/08/31/joe-biden-threatens-political-enemies-f-15-jets/
Step by step, it is June, July, and August of 1914, all over again.
Ha ha! Remember when Trump was impeached just for having a perfect phone call with Zelenskyy?
Does anyone remember the the larger conversation, which shows the US has been manipulating Ukraine since Obama’s terms of office just as much as Russia?
That is the real diplomatic disaster. Her name is Victoria Nuland.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-26089450
That sow needs to go. She’s a Banderite Nazi, just like her Ukie-puke ancestors.
What a depraved and disgusting farce that impeachment was.
Anyone get the feeling we’re being led into another unnecessary war by our politicians, who have overwhelmingly voted to approve funding this fiasco. The media brainwashing machine is blaming everything on Putin. Whatever happened to sanity and efforts for a peaceful resolution. All that yellow on the global map is indicative of countries that are being run by the agenda. We didn’t vote for that either.
Unnecessary for the thinking and civilized people in this world…
…but oh so necessary for the malignant psychopaths in the WEF, NATO, and in the upper echelons of the Military Industrial Complex in the US, the country of hate and lies…and by any definition, now a terrorist nation.
Serious question: What does the West, and specifically NATO do, when Ivan defeats the ABM electronics or merely takes them out by brute force? Which they can and will.
You can’t arrange enough of them to cover every target.
I think the plan at this point is just to be seen as replying to Russia’s attacks. Biden is a clown.
Man alive, I wish I could vote for THIS guy!
It is bigger than “climate change goals”. The goal is the destruction of the middle class and freedom.
Here’s what “climate change goals” are getting Germany and Poland this year:
Already everyday life in Poland: When will the Germans start burning garbage for heating?
In Poland, more and more people are starting to burn garbage to heat their homes because of the energy crisis. It is reported from Warsaw that the smell of burning garbage hangs over the city every day. How long will it be before the Germans put everything they can find in the oven that can be burned?
Winter hasn’t even started yet and there are already first reports that people in Poland are increasingly beginning to heat their homes with combustible waste. Not only in the rural areas, but also in the cities, many houses still have stoves that can be fueled with wood or coal. But if this becomes too expensive, combustible waste such as packaging, cardboard and paper is also burned.
The Hard Land of the Winter
Dried cow pies make a good heating source.
Dense and full of energy!!! Sadly, only one scent is available.
Climatists hate the environment almost as much as they despise electricity, logic, and biology.
Poland has coal.
Yes, there’ve been articles showing Poles lined up and sleeping in their cars at coal repositories, trying to get coal
Many of the cars are sedans, all I can think of is they’ve got a blue tarp spread out in the trunk to contain it
… because it’s dirty, smudgy stuff
I grew up in an 1880s brick train station with freight-agent family dwelling attached to the waiting room and shoveled coal into the furnace when I was a kid and deemed old enough (8 or 9 or so)
One corner of the basement was the coal bin (corral) closed in by makeshift fences of 1×8 planks and 2×4 uprights. There was a window at top of the bin, which was ground level outside
At end of summer we’d get a coal delivery, they’d position a chute into the window and tilt the dump truck up and coal would come down the chute and make a big pile in the corral
Pretty cool stuff for an 8-year old, vivid memories even 60+ years later
Climate change is just a front that is the perfect way to create totalitarianism. After all who can against saving the planet? Most people are just sheep and easily conditioned by the media and academia. They can’t figure out that climate change and “fixing” it will lead to their subjugation.
for 5 – 6 months now, Russia has “been.out.of.missles” and almost totally defeated – right
How many missiles did Russia manufacture and fire against retreating Nazi troops ? Ask a hundred thousand dead Germans.
If Propaganda won wars then Adolf’s grandkids would live in Moscow.
Play stupid games; win stupid prizes.
They told us President Trump would get us into nuclear war, while it was their plan all along. Always the same, accuse their opponents of doing what they are doing. After the dust settles maybe the NYT (MSM) will publish an apology editorial from their mountaintop bunkers. Formerly called liberals, now progressives pound their chests wanting millions of people killed because ‘democracy’. Give peace a chance or better yet give people a brain.
He just can’t stop rewarding his donors (the military-industrial complex) and his cronies (overseas oligarchs and arms dealers).
When do we get to see a complete transcript of that call? Bet it’s a lot more ‘interesting’ than the one with PDJT.
I am rooting for Russia in this conflict, as I suppose I would always root for the party that was not at war with humanity, of which I am a member. I heard that Russia’s missile targets seemed directed at the Ukrainian energy grid. Like Germany, in a month or two, this absence of energy will be an undeniable and overwhelming pressure on the populations of these nations, as well as ours on a less intense level. The stakes for submitting to the insane nihilism of the global warming psychopaths could not be higher. My support lies with anyone who opposes those who seek to annihilate humanity. We are the Nazis in this conflict, with the intention of mass murder on an unparalleled scale. Or so one concludes from the madness driving these criminals.
Agreed.
No doubt about it!!!!
I too am with you.
In a month or so joetato will impose the Russian Oil Embargo, what do you think BRICS+ Nations will do? “No Oil For You” will be the cry. Venezuela will have joined by then and we will be suckling hind teet. I wonder if I can put leftpukes in the fireplace to keep warm?
Nope, they’re highly toxic
Maybe that’s the plan, to have Russia take out Ukraine power grid. Certainly these maniacs are playing a deadly game of chess.
Time to lock up the Archdukes. Things are looking ominous.
Who might the person be who is setting the table for WWIII?
Do you recall, Alexander Vindman?
He was the whistleblower in the first fake impeachment trial of President Donald Trump — and lied about it under oath.
I’ve been dreaming of this moment, too, Chubbs.
Esther 7:9-10
9 Then Harbona, one of the eunuchs in the king’s presence, said, “The gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman had constructed for Mordecai (who had spoken good on behalf of the king), stands at the house of Haman.”
10 Then the king said, “Hang him on it!” So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath was pacified.
Amen and Amen!
No foreign national should ever be allowed into the military or government of the USA. No immigrants, period. Look what that warpig Kissinger has done. Look at what that warpig Noodelman has done. Look at what these two fat warpig Vindmans have done.
No more immigrants in power in the USA, ever. We generational Americans can clearly see that they seek to use our might and wealth to settle “old world” “old country” scores we have no interest or business being involved in.
Devil take them.
That Vindman could rise up to the level he did in the military should scare everyone. He is about as American as Zelenskyy.
It simply underscores the need to gut and clean out the DOD upper echelons and State Dept. as well as the FBI, DOJ, CIA, NSA, DHS, IRS, etc.
We have known now for some time that the bulk of our entire federal government is corrupt to the core.
Before that we need to gut and clean out academia and the media or it will all just happen again.
Think his War College classmates convinced him to retire immediately.
Last night in Ukraine.
🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡Massive attacks on the military infrastructure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in particular on barracks and air defense, are reported through private channels. Ukrainian media are forbidden to report on such strikes.
LOL! Makes my heart sing. Kill the Banderites. Level the NAZIs. Make Ukie-puke honest and peaceful again!
Because the western media (and this includes state-run Ukraine media) have been touting since this started that Russia was hurting. They were in trouble. Russians were being demolished—western media narrative.
Those of us who have been on Gettr (lots of EU, AU, NZ, and Canadian users), Locals, and other alternative social media have seen the Russian speeches to the UN, and we have seen the footage of Azlov killing their people in the eastern regions, we have seen the aftermath of Ukranian armaments in areas the western media reported Russian attacks.
The western media failed to tell the west that Russia was doing exactly as they said to the UN: they were going to take back the eastern provinces that belonged to Russia, in the areas where citizens demanded it. Azlov persecuted the regions for eight years. The west was too focused on a tank line not moving while the Russians took all of their intended targets. Then the stories of Ukranian soldiers winning areas back (leaving out the 10k casualties to take areas the Russians have vacated, leaving only small security forces).
They can’t report the truth of the missile attacks- it will expose the 8+ months of lies.
Uh, Russia is currently destroying the grid. Oh yeah, that grid also supplies Europe. Go ahead, send your missiles. Winter is coming.
Don’t lose sight of the fact that regular people will suffer and die but not those who helped to make this happen. They all have bunkers and backup power, heat and food we could only dream of. They never suffer from the results of their actions.
Backup power runs on diesel and gasoline. Those can be made scarce as well.
Which is why they lie and don’t care. It will also not be their sons or daughters going to the front lines to die.
Until desperate people find them, drag them from their bunkers and take their stuff.
There’s a very important rule in civilizational collapse. If you can’t defend it yourself then it actually belongs to the people defending it for you.
Without the force of law I fully expect the elites in their bunkers to die at the hands of their own security forces who realize they can fully enjoy all those resources for themselves and their own families without consequences for the price of a couple bullets.
exactly
There are laws that prohibit what dementia Joe is doing along with the depletion of our strategic oil supply.
We are now seeing a massive version of fast and furious with money laundering and extortion and many other crimes that are punishable.
The debacle of Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal is a disgrace for which he will be forever remembered in infamy; almost as deplorable as Obama’s spiteful abandonment of Iraq after President Bush’s surge had stabilized the country. I would not, however, be averse to President Trump pulling the rug out on Biden’s war in Ukraine as soon as he returns to office.
The Iran hostage crisis ended with Regan taking office. Likely we would see the same thing in Ukraine.
Here is some holy water to spritz on the western neocon Uniparty vampires. Using Western news source data to debunk every thing they are talking about delivering.
Take it or leave it. You’ll never hear this in the US media.

I listen to his analysis regularly.
Recommend him to others all the time.
81 Million (?) Americans will have the blood of billions on their voting hands if this escalates into nuclear conflict.
Of course not 81M. The several thousands of paid fraudsters across multiple states who perpetrated or assisted in the election fraud of November 2020 will have this blood on their hands; the remaining people among the 40M to 60M who actually and consciously voted for Biden will also have that blood on theirs. Most of the blood will be on those state and county officials and behind-the-scenes professionals who planned and coordinated the fraud.
As far as I am concerned, they already have the blood of hundreds of thousands if not millions who needlessly perished from improper treatments for flu (covid) or from the deadly toxic covid quackcines.
Biden claimed we were as close to Armageddon as when Russia was placing nuclear weapons in Cuba.
Except rolls are reversed and Biden is Khrushchev placing weapons on Russia’s border and Putin is Kennedy.
What I think most people are missing is NATO is using Poland to provoke Russia through Belarus. Poland is now asking for nuclear weapons and has destroyed bridges linking their country to Belarus. NATO also is using Poland because unlike Ukraine they are a member nation and any attack on them and John Bolton will have his war against Russia.
seems Poland always gets screwed
Don’t know……
Poland has been doing some really questionable moves lately.
They are towing the NATO line in this–
Think Polish armed forces are capable of handling what we have seen from the Russian army to date. Anybody think the Belarussians are more capable? Minsk was Polish for centuries.
Sundance, we are already in a war, and it’s a global war. The disciples of the German National Socialist Party have already begun World War 3 against all of humanity until they achieve their depopulation goal of under one billion from the current eight billion. Realize that one thing please. They’ve been at war against all of us since 2019 using the tactics of 5th Generation Warfare . . .
“We’re already in World War 3. We are already in conflict that extends so far beyond Ukraine, actually, even within the context of Western Europe but we’ve clearly been pretty much at war in space, uh below the surface of the oceans, submarine warfare between super powers, uh, I’d even say this has been happening for at least four years, [since 2019] and it’s spilled over into public view on the ground, uh, but we don’t “frame” it that way.” ~ Philippa “Pippa” Malmgren’s statement at the 2022 World Government Summit in Dubai.
Remove the Idiot, before he falls in a hole..
Remove him from the hole after he falls into it and breaks his neck.
Does it seem interesting that Russia is supposedly getting their a** kicked, but they can launch a 12 city, precision strike, at will? Hmmmm….
Airforce and Navy strike. The Russian Army is a shambles. Then again you probably knew that before throwing that comment out there.
Trying to be positive maybe a nuclear war is the only way to get rid of our corrupt government and politicians. Surely Putin can hit D.C.
If we ask him nicely?
They must defend their money laundering operations. A lot of US politicians have family members “working” in Ukraine companies.
Ever wonder if the reason for this war is so that they can expand those corrupt operations into Russia?
I am pretty sure that when Putin cleaned out some corrupt oligarchs, that he cleaned out those who were controlled by the west, keeping only those who were reliably under his thumb.
Thise who were running Operation Godfather, trying to muscle the west in on all that Soviet corruption, must have been really upset when they lost all that opportunity for graft and dominance.
Heck Bolton went on TV and said that Putin needed to be assassinated. The Biden administration and GOPe neocons are desperately trying to start a nuclear war.
When Russia sends nukes our way, hopefully they will target the guilty and not fly over country.
Amazing how Trump completely exposed the Swamp. Most conservatives used to love Bolton and Cheney and the Bush family. Now we know they are just self serving grifters.
Maybe they should have discussed and implemented air defense system Before they started blowing up bridges
Addendum: see old saying about p—- poor planning making for poor results. So this one instance shows how poor the implementation of this military action is in fact. Not too late to improve but I’m reminded of the military big guys who couldn’t order and direct properly the guarding of a gate in Afghanistan which is a rather basic item of military knowledge and the price paid by our young troops. They are still running this which is a sad fact.
Now, carefully look at that map. You observe that the yellow portion is a very small portion: less than one-third of it. There are entire continents that are not included at all. But, people do live there – considerably more people than live in The West™ – and they do buy and sell, and generally they do not use “Western™” financial infrastructure nor currency to do it. Because, they do not need to.
It is entirely possible to maintain currency exchanges and trading systems and interbank messaging which has nothing to do with anything “Western.™” (The very secure technology is available “off the shelf.”) And that is precisely what they have done and are now doing. In this very simple way, “Western™ sanctions mean nothing.”
To any rational person or country, it makes perfect sense: don’t put all your eggs in one basket, especially when you have good reason not to trust the owner of that basket. Duh!
And so, that is what it’s really all about: the shattering of the United States’ illusion that it can be the captain of a “Uni-Polar World,™” both economically and as its supreme military. “Just like the good ol’ days” of eighty years ago or so, as the USA likes to imagine it. This is never going to happen. In fact, it is coming apart at the seams right now … and the USA, herself, is the one committing suicide.
What is right now happening to the USA, she is doing to herself. And the rest of the world is simply not going to follow suit. Of course not.
“Follow me!” shouted the Head Lemming as he ran headlong towards the cliff.
“Why don’t you first show us how it’s done?” replied the rest of them . . .
Connecting a few dots, is it coincidental the most rabid Covid lockdowns AND the most rabid support for destroying Russia is the “Five Eyes” cabal exposed during the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax? Further, the Five Eyes make up so much of the DeepState, even that is not a coincidence. The only country not going thru horrible strife right now is China. Is it possible China has gained control of FiveEyes administrations and making the world go into seizures of insanity? Conquer the people by controlling their politicians and administrations?
How many millions in kickback money did Z promise the sock puppet?
Global warming or nuclear winter??? To the sock puppet, the choice is clear. Moonpies for desert!!
Time for the adults to takeover! President Trump has stated that the road back from the brink in Ukraine is a negotiated peace deal. I am confident that he could get that deal done.
Slo Jobama couldn’t hope to tackle that kind of challenge. Joe Biden is incontinent, incompetent and, because of that, we can add dangerous.
The current government has no interest in achieving peace, and even if they feigned interest, any agreement with the Biden junta, NATO or The European Union, will not be worth spit…
Russia seems to be waking up to this ugly reality.
The “Deal” will be that Ukraine stop attacking the four new additions to Russia. Those new districts democratically voted to join Russia. It turns out that when you attack civilians for eight years with a modern military it makes them want to have nothing to do with you. Who knew?
The thing these war mongers should understand is that Russia is carefully conserving the vast majority of it’s military power. They are planning for an eventual direct confrontation with NATO. You ain’t seen nothin yet.
As for Trump, he did nothing to try to stop the killing in Donbass during his term. Was he not aware it was going on? Was he not aware we were facilitating the Ukraine military in these pursuits? Was he getting advice from Lindsey Graham? Was he getting advice from Jared Kushner?
I am still a Trump supporter. However any Republican who wants our votes has to agree to put a stop to all of this war mongering nonsense. One thing is certain. DeSantis is completely on board to back the Ukraine no matter how many atrocities they commit or what it cost us. The same can be said for most Republicans.
I have wondered that many times.
I cannot believe that President Trump would have supported Ukraine if he knew of the atrocities that the Azov was…and still is…committing against civilians.
I have hope that he now realizes that those who pushed Zelensky as a “good guy” are not to be trusted.
My bets are on Lindsey Graham who fed him the majority of the information regarding Ukraine-and Zelensky.
Graham and his recent Twitter exchange with Elon Musk regarding peace in Ukraine….gives some merit to my thoughts on this.
Elon Musk reminds me of some of the class clowns I knew in high school. Always chiming in with their snarky comments, trying to gain attention . . .
with the crew from Ukraine that testified to impeach Trump, do you really think they were ever honest about what was happening?
Graham is a snake no doubt.
Well, your reply certainly answers the question: “How do I apologize for Russia, without saying I’m a Russian apologist?”
One needn’t go back too far in history, to see which state is the aggressor in Ukraine. Fourteen years should suffice. Those four brand new Russian states you’re so fond of, were blatantly ripped away from Ukraine. But, oh yes, that recent plebiscite was so “open and honest”, it was denounced by every state on the globe except, of course, those models of modern “democracy” Iran, The CCP and North Korea.
As an aside; I have suspected the FSB had hamhandedly attempted to infiltrate certain sites around the Western sphere with pro-Russia propaganda. Your post, “George 1”, merely solidifies that suspicion. Yours is such a clumsy and dishonest articulation of the facts surrounding the Ukraine invasion that it absolutely convinces me it’s source is Moscow.
OK. So you are in favor of civilians being killed by a modern military. You will also defend the indefensible. You don’t have to like Russia to see that they are in the right in this conflict. Obama’s CIA overthrew the Ukraine government in 2014. That is when the hot war with Russia began. After the overthrow the Ukraine citizens in the Donbass were subject to near daily shelling. Between 14000 and 20000 killed. I guess they were insufficiently enthusiastic about the new globohomo violent government.
How would the U.S. Government react if China sponsored a coup in Mexico and installed a government hostile to America? What if the installed government began killing Americans in Mexico?
Don’t tell me the Russians supplied them weapons. Thank God they did. Those people would have been wiped out to the last child. As to your name calling. If I am an FSB agent then I demand at least the rank of Colonel. As to my “dishonest articulation of the facts”. Please enlighten me.
We are experiencing a plague of stupid rich people who throw their money around with no idea of what they are aiming at.
Much of which was our money before the government took it from us and gave it to them.
Dear Jesus, spare us the ignorance of this situation. This is not of Your making.
A nuclear war is bad for the environment and other living things.
FOR GOD’S SAKE….
STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe Sundance has put his finger on the heart of the matter. The Ukraine war is a cover for instituting destructive energy and economic policies that no sane body politic would otherwise accept. In the service of this goal, we are experiencing nuclear brinkmanship the like of which I have never seen in my 78 years. Even the “Cuban missile crisis” was less dangerous, since both parties wanted to avoid killing their own people. I cannot see that reluctance on our side. Admittedly, I don’t know about Russia.
One of the few times I think Sundance is mistaken. Ukraine is not a big enough distraction to enable the destruction of western civilization by other means. What percentage of Americans follow what is happening there? Not many. They ALL follow their electric bill. Acceptance is not a given- or even likely.
Oh, I think Zelensky’s call for nuclear strikes put the issue on the map. Americans woke up hating the parasitic Zelensky. Nobody wants to die for him or his azovs
Why is USA supporting Ukraine directly and not through the UN? Ukraine is not a NATO country and the UN’s role is to maintain world peace.
Russia on the security council perhaps.
Thermonuclear World War III would destroy everything.
Election Fraud put Joe Biden in the White House.
Joe Biden is an illegitimate President.
The biggest Election Fraud in American history
happened in the 2020 election.
The entire World knows this.
If one thing is for certain… we know who the demons are. Thusly, we know which side to root for. #FJB #BHO #HRC
General Armageddon is going to send his response to Biden in the form of a hypersonic ….
Biden is absolutely insane. This is the very thing that caused issues during the latter days of the Bush admin when they wanted to put missiles like these in the Czech Republic and Poland, I believe. And the excuse back then was, that it was a deterrence for Iran. Really? This is a dangerous game that is being played right now. And nobody wants to budge.
That would be Poland and Romania. Both have agreed to host Aegis Ashore. The Czechs OK’d a full blown radar and missile field but Russia blew a gasket and threw a fit, O’Bamma caved. I recall the US had built fire control facilities already in Czechoslovakia.
This is Obamas 3rd term with Biden being guaranteed 10% of all fodder for his role as stand-in. After all Obama has every position filled within the administration, courts, and military with his cabal. Congress is even superfluous at this point.
Czars….That’s what they are called…
I think he’s just a marionette with Obama et al pulling his strings. His string pullers can get away with anything unlawful or unconstitutional by just having him say it or have someone else say it in his name. They’ll just let the courts decide later on if they even do. How long has it taken for a court to decide that DACA was unconstitutional/unlawful, years and years.
He doesn’t know anything, Jill is pulling him this way and that and he just follows.
The insanity is not solely a problem with Biden. He is not dictating the orders. He is solely a messenger.
