In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

She’s also connected to the Belfer Center, iir.
Wow…she’s hot…
That is your mind on McDonalds.
GMO food is totally safe. There are no endocrine disrupting chemicals in the thermal printed wrappers and cups, and regular use of hand sanitizer does not increase your chemical uptake 100x or more.
Food is medicine. You are what you eat.
And 30 grams of fat and over 1,000mg of sodium in one burger is not necessarily good for every meal.
Am not sure if there is a ‘sarc’ comment or not so I will throw this in, nonjudgmental:
the hybrid seeds used by Big Ag, to grow things like wheat…the seeds used have been modified to deter or repel typical pests found in crop fields while creating a larger yield per acre. Off and on, this issue is brought up…kind of out of favor for the time being….I wonder why?/s
I struggle to wrap my head around that idea and its ‘fruit’ being healthy for humanity….healthy in yield and profit increase for Big Ag, sure…but not you and me. Heck they allow bugs and bug fragments in or food (yes, I know, hard to prevent).
When hand sanitizer first hit the market in the mid 90’s…it was then nor now, meant as a replacement for handwashing. It allowed for a breach in handwashing for two or three instances, if that. And then one was told to wash their hands.
A university ‘that heals the human spirit’…was doing research on hand sanitizer back then, I know as I had my hands swabbed at said hospital after using the sanitizer in part of a ‘test’ study….
Well now, in the theme of McDnalds…”Am lovin’ this!”:

Show me one stinkin’ liberal that’s …not this hot…
Demons all…
Being smooth and convincing is assisted by a pleasant and attractive appearance. The era of female Soviet spies was replete with such examples. Sounds familiar!
Why did I look!
because of misinformation
Sarcasm is misinformation
I bet she has to sneak up on a glass to get a drink of water.
Her mom fed her with a slingshot..
I literally laughed out loud!
Gonna snag that line for future use!
‘This is Healthy!!!’
There was reported “tension” between Donovan and the school’s dean, Douglas Elmendorf.
Is that what the kids call it today?
Yeah, she’s old school.. lesbian.
Pakleds from Star Trek Next Generation live among us.
“We look for things… things to make us go.”
Oh dear….
Seriously what exactly qualifies her for anything except maybe Jenny Craig?
When Trump talked about a mental health crisis in this country, most of us regular normal people in middle suburbia really had no idea how bad things were. Then these lunatics moved out of the city, ruined our public school systems, compromised our local governments, engaged in systematic dismantling of everything good and holy in this country, and we’ve had enough. Thankfully they’re all such eager propagandist consumers they all took the deadly jab. Countdown to extinction.
The really amazing part of the story is that Harvard is giving her until 2024 to clear out.
There will be a lawsuit forthcoming, I am certain…
Anna Navarro’s heavier sister?

Ok, yawl have convinced me. I won’t look.
And if you do, you will need some eye bleach.
I haven’t looked.
Not gonna.
Don’t do it, Lorrie. It’s a trap!
Your eyes thank you!!! From one who looked…
Aw, just take a lil’ peek….
……” Donovan’s dismissal comes as so-called misinformation experts and professional fact-checkers come under fire for protecting Democrats from negative press, frequently calling for the censorship of damaging reports under the pretense of suppressing misinformation.”…….
What a hoot, guess the claim here is that the peeps at Harvard *didn’t * know previously that all the so-called “disinfo” was just whatever went against the Dem Party narrative.
Shorestein Center is in the Kennedy School, where Epstein had his office.
From her bio on Wikipedia:
“Donovan earned her PhD in Sociology and Science Studies from the University of California San Diego, and was a Post Doctoral Fellow at the Institute for Society and Genetics at UCLA where her expertise was social movements, technology, and white supremacist’s use of DNA ancestry tests.
She later held the role of Research Lead for the Media Manipulation Initiative at Data and Society, and mapped how interest groups, governments, political operatives, corporations, and others use the internet and media to disrupt social institutions.
After Data and Society, Donovan went on to lead the Technology and Social Change Research Project at Harvard Kennedy School and teach the class Media Manipulation and Disinformation Campaigns.”
“In other words, her entire career is a fabrication. Wanna bet she never found any “misinformation” coming from leftist groups?”
WTF is whites supremacists use of DNA ancestry tests?
Part of the word salad for liberal credibility.
It’s not like anything actually has to be true or nuthin’……
No idea. I think she got in trouble for a paper published by her group that smeared an organization that represents descendants of American slaves.
We can agree she’s not real pretty, attractive or in any way appealing. We can agree there’s a lot of her
Bet she had a lot of Pell Grants. How much did her “education” cost the American Taxpayer. I want my money back.
She’s a leader of the disinformation/narrative control network of the left. She’s testified before Congress.
Good riddance.
They are keeping her into 2024. She is another loser from academia who sees a racist, homophobe, and a fatphobe under every bush.
She also sees a donut under every bush. Or two.
Is she a her/he/they/them??
Yes.
In other words, a democrat.
Except China, India, and a long list of others.
Exactly right. designed to hamstring and destroy America. So in actuality candidate Pat Buchanan & President Donald J Trump were the 2 most pro-environmental candidates & Presidents with their stances on immigration which according to environmental science is the #1 factor for environmental degradation, and stopping American companies (or bringing them back) from evading American stringent environmental laws and pollute with impunity in countries like China. I used to point all of this out to so called “Environmental” wankers and they would either go tongue tied or call me a racist or something. Means I won the debate and could not prove me wrong so they attack. A bunch of dumb phonies, but they get to do some false liberal virtue signaling
We’ve got to keep repeating that Obama’s goal was the radical transformation of America – his words – never forget this – he must be stopped. We need America back.
and FUNDAMENTAL!
Barack Obama is a fundamental Pothead Dullard.
pothead evil. Very smart though in his evil ways.
He is a POS who was groomed and selected.
He is dumb. Try to find his college records.
In part, the pandemic was a test to see just how many really stupid people there are… people who would believe whatever they were told regardless of how it conflicts with established knowledge and no matter how many times they flip-flop on the facts. The conclusions are as obvious to us as they are to them. We have a critical mass of really stupid people.
From “The San Bernardino County Sun” 30 years ago today – about the Kaiser Steel mill in Fontana, California being dismantled and moved to China. One of the factors in the demise of the company was the environmental issue – but it was perfectly all right to relocate the equipment to China where that was NOT an issue and there were no such restrictions/costs associated with pollution.

Interesting how it sounds in reverse.
Weird how we’re not allowed to talk about his other book here.
I’m not aware of any such prohibition here.
Tell everyone what he wrote.
The name of Solzhenitsyn’s book is The Crucifixion of Russia, hard to find for reasons you know.
Could not find it on the internet for free but did find this video. This is the part of history they want to bury so the book is hard but not impossible to find.
https://ugetube.com/watch/the-jewish-crucifixion-of-russia_Qgt49tJMAK98L5F.html
They did the same regarding Germany but got smarter and obscured a lot of their history before the more accurate history books could be written on WW2. The name of that book is The Myth of German Villainy.
Anti-sémitisme countdown…..1, 2, 3. Folks, history is history.
This is the first I’ve ever heard of that book. I read Solzhenitsyn as a kid (Gulag Archipelago; One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich), but never saw this in a bookstore or heard anything about it. National Review used to have numerous articles on Solzhenitsyn but not a peep about this. Very interesting.

What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of the super rich individuals and monopolistic conglomerates??
Hmmmmm?
These academics are perfectly fine with collapsing the industrial nations of the 20th century and rebuilding that industrialization in non-white, non-western nations. These new industrialized nations will not utilize the same pollution limiting technologies that were in place in the “rich” countries. They will revert to the old, filthy, smokestack sort of technology because it is cheaper to produce.
What if the majority of The People on earth just decided to eradicate the entire small group of worldwide elites who are fu-king them over?
A game changing event in Turkey
Dr Assad & the Syrian Arab Army along with Orthodox Christian Russia has been fighting the ISIS & terrorists they told us did 9/11 “al-Qaeda” and Turkey had been assisting the terrorists created by Saudi Arabia & its “allies” (and the CIA). Divine Justice?
At this point in time, the destruction in Turkey and Syria, as sad and devastating as it is, doesn’t appear to have been caused by Israel. That fact alone will shorten the news cycle
Trump did it.
The events in Turkey are unreal

Earthquakes rumors of war..
Retired Magistrate here: There have been severe earthquakes in that area since biblical times. Some of the earthquakes have been so severe that they totally destroyed towns and changed the paths of rivers.
Of course, this does not make the current situation any less heart breaking for those caught in this disaster; my point being that this has been happening in this area for thousands of years.
Maybe they need to change their ways?
that means that we are in for the BIG ONE so we could change our ways.
Just sayn’
Retired Magistrate here: Well, it is the most earthquake prone country in the world. There are numerous plates in that area that are constantly going back and forth. Unfortunately many of the buildings are around 1oo years old (or at least they were, they are destroyed now) and are so close together that when one goes, it is like dominoes; they all go.
The Arab race was born with Ishmael, the illegitimate offspring of Abraham and his wife’s Egyptian maid Hagar.
Although technically and literally Abraham’s first born, Ishmael was not the son promised by God to Abraham and Sarah. As such, he was a type of imposter first son and not entitled to be heir of the blessings God gave to Abraham.
Isaac was the son promised by God to Abraham and Sarah.
As such, he held the birthright to receive God’s blessings through Abraham. Since the day Abraham so blessed Isaac, the Arabs have been trying to reclaim what they believe is their rightful birthright; ownership of the land as far as the eye can see and “as numerous as the grains of sand”.
This is why islamic fanatics say “Islam will rule the world”. They are true believers and will never stop trying to eradicate all religions (beliefs) by any means necessary.
Turkey is the former center and headquarters of the largest, strongest islamic empire ever known, the Ottoman empire. Thousands of years of earthquakes is God shaking the home of the real infidel, which is islam.
It’s cold outside, but who would want to stay inside a building when they’re still collapsing unexpectedly?
We’re not used to seeing EQs in cold, snowy weather.

Aside from being a dangerous megalomaniacal subversive, Milley is like a teenaged gossip girl
THREAD:
He is the Klaus Schwab & Co’s “Sgt Shultz” from Hogan’s Heroes
Reading the transcript, General Milley refers to Schiff as Congresswoman Schiff.
Pretty hilarious, really. What a dolt.
Modern Milley is a prime example of modern medicine gone wrong. When his skull was opened up to remove his brain, the filler material consisting of carbs and fats were miscalculated and that idiot is the result
Tubby old hen. Retire already, you’ve done enough damage to the country.
He is a treasonous POS!
Milley’s an absolute disgrace, both in and out of uniform
Love the Peoples Cube art, great choice.

Secular Syria who should be our ally not enemy was on that pre-9/11 hitlist that General Wesley Clark talked about. You could also add Kosovo (illegal annexation) mate, which was a illegal bombing by NATO & the China owned Clinton Admin to pillage & plunder Yugoslavia and to break it up and get parts of it out of the Orthodox Christian Russian sphere of influence to further advance NATO which should have been dissolved after the Warsaw Pact was
As a side note: billy clinton ordered nato to bomb Servia on their Orthodox Easter Sunday.

I’ve been referring some to the CTH.
Best news analysis. Ever.
Bannon has given props to Sundance in particular many times over the past several months.
I think I heard him slip and say Sundance’s name-saying he has known him a long time
Deleting duplicate comment…
Telling it liked it is. Trump, Bannon, Sundance….
If the quote from Mattis is tru— these treasonous generals need to be prosecuted. They don’t decide. It is not their job!
I seem to remember they can still be court martial led even after retirement. I could be wrong but usually my memory is good. He would be an excellent test case.
They have to be recalled to active duty first. Milley actually floated the idea of doing that to Gen Mike Flynn.
https://rumble.com/v28jh6c-rep-waltz-general-mattie-was-secretary-of-defense.html
Waltz then dropped this bomb. Rep. Waltz said that General Mattis was Secretary of Defense at the time and decided not to inform President Trump because the Pentagon thought Trump was “too provocative and aggressive!”
This is a treason if true. Mattis put the US in danger, offered comfort to the enemy, allowed Chinese spying on US installations, and then hid this from his superiors, including the President of the United States.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/02/treason-rep-waltz-says-dod-told-china-spy-balloons-crossed-us-trump-years-gen-mattis-not-tell-trump-thought/
Interesting that we are just now finding out about Mattis and Milley.
It’s amazing that DJT got anything at all done while he was in the WH.
I became suspicious of the warrior monk when he, remarkably, appeared to have the entirety of the Senate behind him, an anathema to any Trump nominee. It seemed too good to be true. He was convincing and anecdotes from those he commanded supported him.
Still, I was fooled for awhile. I trusted a bit too much without verifying. PDJT can likely identify with that. Still, he was quite potent even with the forces stacked against him.
God bless DJT with Judas Iscariot’s to the left and right throughout his presidency!
Yet, despite all that PDJT accomplished and the number of traitors that we have learned about throughout his presidency and post-presidency, there are still people who complain about what he did not accomplish as though one man against thousands of corrupt demons in and near our government should have gotten more done in 4 years.
The U.S. Military is littered with Traitors in the highest ranks. <EOT>
Exactly. Once you’re in the star ranks, each promotion is political and it increases exponentially with each successive star.
I don’t believe this for one minute; Mattis needs to make FJB not look so incompetent.
If there had been balloons from China entering US airspace there would have been leaks to the press so they could scold then sitting PDJT for why isn’t he doing something to stop this incursion.
Mattis has shown himself to be a liar and a traitor. If it were true what he is saying now then he is a traitor twice over, negligence in his duty then, negligent in his duties now.
Capital punishment for traitors is still a thing right?
Mattis lost thousands of dollars on his Theranos investment. He thought he would become a millionaire selling the fraud to the military.
He got fooled by a chick in a black turtleneck.
Capital
punishmentinvestment – eg, a piece of the action, a percentage, stock tips, invites, et cetera – for traitors is still a thing right?Why do all these so-called macho men get fooled by a pretty woman…..Patreas, Mattis. Milley couldn’t find one that would have anything to do with him so he became one. 😎
Someone please clarify: Is treason only a wartime offense?
Is sedition the more proper term to use during peace-time?
I’ve not been able to find a definitive answer to these questions.
Anyone on this board know??
TY
I checked my handy Websters for Idiots and it defined each and then added a helpful differentiation.
Treason is “the violation of the allegiance owed one’s sovereign or state, specifically in the US (as declared in the Constitution), consisting only in levying war against the US or in giving aid and comfort to its enemies.”
It lists sedition as a synonym, but under the definition of sedition it says: the stirring up of discontent, resistance or rebellion against the government in power.
Websters further makes the distinction that sedition’s definition “implies that the evidence is not overt or absolute: treason implies an overt act in violation of the allegiance owed to one’s state, specifically a levying war against it or giving aid and comfort to its enemies.”
So I don’t think treason is limited to wartime, but the fingers crossed behind the back is whether a war has to be declared to have an enemy. I’m no lawyer, so I say no, that when others have declared their war against our constitutional government and way of life, supporting those who harm us qualifies as an “enemy.”
I did not see a response from Mattis in that clip. Has there been one yet, or is this more false news, look-a-squirrel bullshit?
Rep Waltz said somebody from the DOD told him that Mattis decided not to tell Trump because he felt Trump was too agressive, etc.
Oops, I sent that too soon. So, the thing is Waltz said SOMEBODY FROM THE DOD TOLD HIM that, about Mattis. However, notice there is NO NAME attached to the DOD person?
The BS about prior balloons is most likely just that: BS.
Just to be sure, however, the Intel Committee needs to get Waltz under oath (about his story) and then if necessary, the DOD person and Mattis, as well.
Just read this on Ace of Spades website and was emailing it. I believe Mr. Grenell is the *real deal* and I do believe him and DJT.
Richard Grenell @RichardGrenell
Feb 5
Biden’s DoD is shamelessly using an anonymous source to say that Chinese balloons flew over the US under Trump – and the Trump team allowed it.
It is a lie. We never heard this – ever.
Congress should demand @SecDef tell the truth. Shame on @JakeSullivan46
And shame on the DC media activists who continue to allow the Biden team to be so weak by giving them aid & comfort in their lies and weakness.
@jonkarl @maggieNYT @JuliePace lead the coverup.
@RichardGrenell
Ask yourself why @jonkarl would quote an anonymous official when every senior national security official in the Trump Administration is on the record saying Jon Karl is wrong.
@abc has a serious credibility problem with Karl.
Yep.
“too provocative and aggressive”
That is ridculous. President Trump is the only one who can make peace between disagreeable leaders. It’s for darn sure neither of them could do it. If biden had been in timbuktu when he stole President Trump’s place, there is no way we would be almost in WWIII.
President Trump is a peace maker and could have calmed the situation. Of course the spoiled rotten Zelenskyy would have hated him because of all the things he wanted that he wouldn’t have gotten from the U.S.A. under Trump and maybe we wouldn’t be in such dire straits re the debt. Mattis and Milley look like complete fools. JMHO.
“The more I see how much attention was exhausted focusing on the Chinese balloon, the more I am inclined to believe the attention was manufactured by internal deep state operatives.” – Sundance
President Johnson’s not running full speech is one of the longest string of lies said by any politician ever! He even quoted JFK who he helped get wacked (JMO)! My guess is between the “Chinese balloon” and his illegal possession of “classified documents” the deep state has prepared a similar speech for ChiCom Joe touting his lengthy worthy service to the country and great achievements during his 50+ years on the Govt teat!!!
I tend to disagree with our esteemed host on this one.
I believe our military leadership has become fundamentally woke, corrupted, and incompetent. So busy with their pronouns and rainbow flags, the ships of the fleet are hitting each other again in calm seas.
This is merely the latest evidence of that complete leadership dysfunction. The Afghanistan withdrawal should have been a fire alarm for anyone with a pulse. It made the Vietnam evacuation look like MacArthur’s reign in Japan.
All thanks to Barry’s Patriot purge of competent line officers. We need a counter-purge, and fast, or we’re going to be losing a major conflict soon, and not just a proxy contest.
I agree that “wokeness” and the military’s friendly/cozy relationship with the ChiComs and adversarial relationship with We The People probably lead to the balloon not being seen as a threat and allowing it to enter our airspace. But I agree with Sundance once the military let that happen and they got called out the deep state took advantage of the balloon “crisis”! Remember Rahm Emanuel “You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”
They can eject the demented installee any time they like. A couple files off of one laptop drive is more than enough.
They didn’t need to allow a Chinese balloon free passage across our entire Nation to do that.
I agree. Our military didn’t need to do that and it raises the question how much overt control does the deep state have over the military? That I don’t know?
I don’t think the deep state wants to “eject” ChiCom Joe but rather let him finish out his demented term and announce for whatever reasons he’s not running. That way Kamala doesn’t become President or need to be dealt with. She will just become obscure again like she was before running for President or becoming VP. JMO
You may be correct that the DS just wants Obiden to finish out his term and not let him run again.
Regarding Kamala, the first time I was aware of her was during the Brett Kavanaugh nomination for SCOTUS appointment. She was SO obnoxious, it was almost scary.
Hard for me to imagine that DARPA, CIA and mil intel are anything but bed buddies within the ODNI apparatus now.
I really don’t think it was a manufactured crisis. I think our military is totally corrupt and believes they work for China. So they did China’s bidding. These traitors need to be in jail.
Good point. Perhaps it’s a combination of both; the deterioration of the military command structure and Branch 4 using the subsequent events to their propaganda advantage
LBJ makes my stomach turn. There is not one single thing I can see in him that was any good.
Completely amoral is my read on him. He got what was coming to him in the end-hounded out of office, held in contempt by his fellow citizens and a premature death.
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla is a veterinarian. Alber Bourlas PhD thesis is about the control of fertility in Sheep and Goats.
You really cant make this stuff up….
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Bourla
OMG good find.
That is quite a picture!
Is this why I’m reading about chickens not laying eggs … they’ve put Bourla’s stuff in the chicken feed?
They should grind up Bourla and put him in the chicken feed. I doubt we would miss him.
I think that Bourla worships Satan and Mammon.
But with that said…
Veterinarians, at least in rural areas are incredibly knowledgeable. They have to know how to treat multiple different animals. It’s impressive. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, and any other type of work animal…But they are probably the exception.
Bourla is like the only vet who hates Ivermectin.
In a pinch, rural/mountain animal doctors do pretty well on humans too. There’s a lot of crossover in skills and meds/gear. Not trauma level but good combat medicine.
Office dwellers like Bourla, not so much. The give-a-damn isn’t there.
Bourla is in this to keep his pockets full of $$$$$$$. Creep.
My Mom and I loved watching the old episodes of the original series about Dr. Herriott, “All Creatures Great and Small” – the only part which really bothered us was when he would put that thermometer back in his coat pocket.
I loved James Herriot’s books. Laughed until I cried. Sometimes I just cried. Poignant. What an incredible life! Now big corporations have taken over veterinary practices. Kinda sad. I like that “small town” touch!

Well if one has ever caught the aroma of a herd of sheep….this on no doubt beats them all! 6 years of no shearing, ouch!
Reminds me of the Clancy Brothers tune….here we are in New South Wales, sheering sheep as big as whales…with leather necks and daggy tails…the beggars can only tear and pull…”
When I listen to these self-important “neo-cons,” I really just want to say: “you are not Rocky Balboa anymore.”
It has been EIGHTY YEARS since the USA faced a first-class industrial opponent. Back then, it could “out-produce everybody.” But, after the war, it turned everything into a “rust belt.” Meanwhile, NATO as an organization has never faced such an enemy. (Two-bit wars of choice in two-but desert countries don’t count … and you didn’t fare too well even with that!)
So, why are we now “poking” TWO of them at once?
You trust your “Tom Swift weapons” far too much. Likewise your nuclear ones. You cannot produce enough of them fast enough, and you cannot snap your fingers and gain that capability, which your opponents already possess.
In essence: You are exhibiting complete ignorance of the realities of what this genie would be. Best for you to shut up and keep him in the lamp. You know not what you do. “War Is Hell.”
You have never yet(!) LOST a major conflict. Do not do so now.
The Green Party in Germany will be redirecting the subsidies for their Green Energy into arms manufacturing.
I heard about it on Alex Christoforu YouTube this morning…..and I am still chuckling….
Then I watch our Southern Command Laura Richardson saying US was going to ask South America countries that have Soviet tanks to “donate” them to Ukraine.
Then I watch the South American countries tell Germany Scholz — nope…not giving our ammo or weapons to Ukraine.
We are going to South Korea and asking them to send weapons and munitions……
Trump campaigned in 2016 on restoring our military. We were cannabilizing our air plane boneyards to keep our planes in the air. Then leaving all that equipment in Afghanistan…..wonder how much that alone hurt our stockpile.
Ukraine should be giving everyone a wake up call on the state of our military and start asking questions.
“You trust your “Tom Swift weapons” far too much”

If our media does report it..
They will probably say it’s because the ones we sent doesn’t have the super duper secret Armour.
They are probably already writing the story to publish.
Joke is that the Ukrainians will be driving them to the front lines to collect the bounty!

Everything Democrats spend on in a ‘crisis’ is spent on their supporters who then launder it back to the Democrats. Pretty explicable to me.
Maybe the CCP balloon was using Lidar to map underground facilities of our military sites and transmitting the info to a Satellite. They needed to double check the blueprints they stole or classified info the Bidens sold them and find out how good our jamming technology is. Just a thought.
Lidar can’t penetrate rock or soil, but it could be potentially used to locate surface weapons systems or detection systems around military sites.

I often think that if we can ‘think’ it, they have already ‘done’ it.
Maybe in combination with Ground Penetrating Radar?
it would see through camouflage designed to defeat cameras.
Also, if they know the spy satellites, they can schedule activity to avoid the cameras. The balloon would be different timing.

Lidar Observation From A Balloon Platform
The Chinese have been messing with lidar technology a lot lately. Lidar uses pulsed lasers to measure small variations in terrain to uncover hidden shapes and structures. It also has a knack for cutting through forest canopy and other obstructions. The problem with lidar is that the platforms commonly used to carry the apparatus are faster moving and only capture a snapshot in time. Also, it cannot see through thick clouds, dust, rain, snow or fog.
NASA and DARPA have both been testing lidar from balloons as a means to keep the lasers in the sky longer above a specific area. The Chinese balloon also looks somewhat similar to the equipment used on European lidar balloon experiments.
A lidar based spy balloon would explain Chinese interest in Eastern Montana, where there are numerous known nuclear missile silos as well as suspected hidden silos. The Chinese balloon did in fact come near at least one known nuclear missile base near Billings. Lidar could be exploited to find hidden bases in the region. [it also, from a balloon path diagram I saw, came close to our newish and growing ABM site in Alaska intended to stop EMP attacks by ICBMs which, far more than ICBM silos that have existed for many decades, the Chinese would be interested in; Lidar is good for detecting hidden buried structures due to minute ground level variations – W]
If the “WILL” to ACT was the only thing being tested, then the Chinese achieved it by showing we aren’t willing to act in a timely manner.
The Resident POTATO had to be SHAMED to protect the sovereignty of the United Stated and even then he deliberately dragged his feet after the Balloon had for all practical purposes succeed in it’s mission in transversing the Nation.
He only made a case to shoot it down after our real POTUS, Trump tweeted, “shoot it down.”
So much for the thought of some who said he would do the opposite of what President Trump said.
Shamed? NO. He should be rotting in jail.
The spy chief of China pays 10’s of millions of dollars to the Bidens so that China can spy on highly sensitive military bases.

If enough people are angry at the state of things to overwhelm and even cast fear in the hearts of the cheaters, Trump will win EVERY state.
if enough people are angry enough I suppose they will start puting relentless pressure on whats left of their America first law makers to secede from state unions on Constitutional grounds. (as a peaceful alternative)
Real Americans should have access to sanctuary cities too.
It’s hard to get too excited about that possibility, and not just because of More Bore’s daily reminders that we don’t have and haven’t had for a long time free elections.
Then remember that sixteen states have authorized illegal aliens voting. No one is truly naïve enough to imagine that they will only be voting for local races but not for the presidency.
my other reminder is that we’ll have to do a lot more than send clever tweets to “cast fear into their hearts”, if we believe thats “all it takes.”
but thank you for the mention, otherwise. 😉
A large portion of Americans are dumb as rocks. Allowing illegal aliens to live here, consume housing, consume services, and vote is incredible. D or R makes no difference, they’re scum.
If enough people get angry enough, they’ll do what the people who started America did to their oppressors. After realizing their oppressors would never stop oppressing them, they shot them.
I wouldn’t count on South Carolina as Red, and more and more I see Indiana doing crazy liberal crap. They are infiltrating the Red states with imposters posing as Republicans and they are winning.
South Carolina is deeply red. I live here and it isn’t close; at all. Furthermore the people from the north moving here only bolster our ranks. This is not anecdotal; I have access to our paid membership numbers (since we don’t have registration ) at the county and state levels we are growing , as President Trumps says, “ like never before.” In fact , new neighbors just moved in with 4 kids from Rochester,NY. Before I could even begin to coyly pry about their politics they blurted out how they left due to “the insane liberal politics.”
Liberals go to NC. That state has a REAL problem.

Funny this when there are 2 job openings for every unemployed person!
So if COVID-19 is no longer a national emergency, does the executive branch still have the authority to waive student debt? The White House says yes. In a background statement circulated to reporters, the administration said the formal end of the national-emergency declaration “does not change the legal justification for the plan” because many borrowers will continue to face a risk of default based on lingering financial hardship stemming from the pandemic.

China Spy Balloon Biden Allowed to Traverse Across US Carried Explosives to Self-Detonate
According to the Pentagon, the spy balloon carried explosives to self-detonate, was 200 feet tall, and weighed thousands of pounds.
Air Force Gen. Glen D. VanHerck, commander of U.S. Northern Command, divulged new details about the downed balloon;
his description followed a briefing by NSC spokesman John Kirby,
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/02/china-spy-balloon-biden-allowed-traverse-across-us-carried-explosives-self-detonate/
Mike Robinson said it was just a weather balloon. Guess he didn’t get the intel yet. 200 ft tall. Explosives. Spy program using balloon vehicles. Uh huh. Just a weather balloon.
I very frankly do not believe these stories. For example, while a high-altitude weather balloon’s envelope may indeed be very tall depending on how long it plans to stay up there (the gas expands very considerably at altitude), a payload carried by even a very large balloon could not weigh “thousands of pounds.”
(The most-powerful lifting gas, hydrogen, can lift 1.2031 kilograms per cubic meter. To lift a thousand pounds would require about 400 cubic meters of gas.)
I don’t know for what political or other purpose the American military is saying this – possibly to justify expending a very expensive missile to blow up a balloon – but I still do not believe a word of it, and I never will.
Come on man!
When has the US Militray ever lied about anything?
We should have gotten a better “explosives show” from the videos I saw of it being shot down.
4th of July fireworks are more explosive from what I saw.
Skeptical cat here.
its amazing to me that people will attribute a school shooting to a 5G signal from the CIA that they are covering up… and then eat up every word the government releases on talking points the next day…
Atlantis is real, somewhere.
And Epstein hung himself.
For what it is worth, a 200 ft sphere holds around 118,000 cubic meters. The density of air around 60,000 ft is a little over 8% of the density at sea level. 9000 cu meters would fully inflate said balloon. So maybe 9 metric tons lifting capacity. (At your 1 kg/cubic meter). A little less than 20,000 lbs.
Here is a NASA page putting payloads up to 6500 lbs, just under 3 metric tons.
Scientific Balloons – Types of Balloons (nasa.gov)
Here is a description of quasi steerable balloons. They go up or down to catch different winds.
What We Know About The High-Altitude Balloons Recently Lingering Off America’s Coastlines (thedrive.com)
Joe Kittinger’s transatlantic balloon record –
“He combined another world record for the longest distance flown with a 3,000 cubic meter (105,944 cubic foot) balloon with the first solo balloon flight across the Atlantic, traveling 5,701 km (3,543 miles) from Caribou, Maine to Montenotte, Italy, in 86 hours.”
By your math, assuming it was a gas balloon, the payload could have been close to 8000 pounds….
Felix Baumgartner’s Red Bull balloon – envelope weight 3800 pounds, gondola weight 2600 pounds…
http://airpigz.com/storage/2012-october/Red-Bull-Stratos-Balloon-And-Capsule-Graphic.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1349711902098
400 cubic meters of gas is a sphere about 4.57 meters in diameter, about 15 feet. Volume of a sphere = 4/3 (pi)(radius cubed) That balloon looked larger than that.
Mike Robinson is a shill for RT and a self appointed know it all.
Has been for years.
Some of you may remember his 3 times a day “Bill of Attainder!, Bill of Attainder!” squawk from a few years ago.
Vince……
Name calling is NOT called for.
I have been following the mess in Ukraine for quite some time.
I have different sources that I follow on a daily basis. RT is not one of them.
Just because someone is closely following the news regarding Ukraine that does NOT make them a “shill for RT “.
So to have you name calling someone-I have to call you out on it.
It’s wrong and uncalled for.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar and a balloon is just a balloon … … … or a squire.
And you believe our Generals or John Kirby?
Like we all fell for the Colin Powell and the little vial he held at the hearing saying WMD…weapons of mass destruction?
That balloon should have never made it into our airspace. Period.
Give it time. The 48 hour rule should apply to anything Kirby says.
Off the top of my head–sure wasn’t much of a “blast” from a balloon filled with explosives from what I saw from the videos. I have seen fireworks that give more display than a giant balloon filled with explosives.
I always take what people like Kirby say with an attitude of…yeah whatever.
Again, 48 hour rule. Wait and see…..
Seeing that name-Colin Powell-instantly puts me in a bad mood-disgraced himself
Perhaps Mike can explain the 2018 CCP Balloon program experimenting with delivery of small hypersonic missiles.
Or even the supposition that it had lidar…
And if that would be the case…….and the possibility of that…..
Why was it ever allowed into our airspace?
It’s like a Sundance meme …
We need to start asking the right fng questions!
Whenever I’m feeling a bit down, our national bird picks up my spirits. Here mom is incubating some youngsters scheduled to hatch in the next 10 days or so and dad apparently didn’t bring home any bacon and she’s a bit displeased. This is from a live feed at Big Bear Lake in CA.

The symbol of the USA lured in by socialist handouts. If they keep doing this for a few generations, they will forget how to hunt. And when they do, they only need to stop feeding them and they will go extinct shortly thereafter.

I think the Eagles are just hungry and they know where the food is.
WOW!!
Thank you for posting this. I truly enjoyed it!
Have a great week, mr.piddles.
Thanks, you as well.
Awesome, Mr. Piddles. Thank you.
Cheers!
I used to watch them regularly. I took a screen capture one year when the Mother eagle was covered in snow….she was was keeping the youngsters warm. You could barely see her.
It’s heartbreaking when one of youngsters doesn’t make it.
And heart lifting to see them make their first flight attempts.
… and it always seems to get a little extra dusty around here when I break out this one…
Stupid pet dander.
That was really nice. I was happy to see that eagle get an opportunity to experience the thrill of flight.
mr. piddles: Thanks for re-posting this video. Sometimes, to get grounded, we need to take flight.
That was awesome!!!!!
LOL!

Financial Times has a run down on the “innocent weather balloon” from China that was allowed to traverse the USA from west to east this past week. Interesting and I’m guess ing our bumbling military knew all this but chose to let it go in the name of not offending the CCP.

Hey treepers, sorry. This is now showing as a locked article. It wasn’t when I read it a little while ago.

Pre-show, celebs doing their red carpet thing, one of them sported a crown of thorns.
That bothered me far more than the performance posted above.
Mainstream outlets all now reporting that the 200 foot tall balloon had a payload the size of a jetliner and may have been carrying explosives to self-destruct according to the Pentagon.
Fox News reports that the debris is on its way to Quantico for analysis.
Why is the FBI lab involved?
So that they can announce whatever results they want?
You nailed it. This is a narrative in the making. Haven’t we learned anything from the ‘safe and effective’ BS?
I’ve heard that an Air Force general has predicted war with China by 2025. TPTB have to gin up the necessary ‘existential threat’. This is just the beginning.
Agree that is strange. Wonder if Biden doesn’t trust the military or intelligence agencies and wants “his” FBI to do it. Perhaps he doesn’t trust them to tell him the truth or perhaps he doesn’t trust them to spin the narrative the way he tells them?
Ever since the initial passage of the Patriot Act, the FBI has been automatically called to consult after ANY event that might involve terrorism or spying over domestic US territory. Nothing new about that. The FBI was doubled in size by law after 9/11, and they have the largest lab facilities.
A “200-foot tall balloon” could not contain nearly enough gas to carry “a payload the size of a jetliner.” (Bear in mind that the gas expands enormously at high altitude.)
Hundreds of high-altitude balloons are floating high in the stratosphere every day in order to track “winds aloft.” Usually they are too high up to see. Depending on the design of the balloon, they can either take a very short up-and-down flight or remain airborne for months. Knowledge of “jet stream” winds is very important for surface weather forecasting, and balloons are an essentially zero-cost way to do it.
A “200-foot tall balloon” could not contain nearly enough gas to carry “a payload the size of a jetliner.”
Can you provide some links to help the rest of us catch up on your knowledge of balloons, altitude, gas, and such?
maybe this will help
Think Goodyear blimp or Hindenburg. BIG BIG envelope, small gondola. Why so BIG? the weight of the motor plus the weight of a propeller. also, oval shape, not round. – less resistance so it can move thru the air.
Re: moving round balloon THROUGH the air. (not floating WITH the air) Picture yourself in a pool with a toy balloon. Lets be generous – small – maybe 12 inches diameter. Pull it under the water with your 2 hands. Good – now, move it thru the water as fast as you can. We oldsters do that for exercise – except we can’t get the ball UNDER the water – ha ha
MIke is correct about the gas expanding at altitude – but it would also contract in very cold air.
The jet stream MOVES all over the place (see your local wx map) and there is often more than one jet stream (see your local wx map).
There have been recent reports that the very cold air from the pole sinks down – this year to the south of texas. Gee – how do ‘they’ know the size and depth of the cold air? Could it be the wx people have a balloon – a radiosonde?
Do a web search for weather balloon.
I’m not saying it’s not chinese made. I DO assume (yes, i know the roots of that word) that many countries use the technology – and probably the US is part of the technology being used.
Another assumption – the weight of the payload would not float – would not be designed to float as no one thought it would be brought down by a stealth jet fighter. That’s not even a fair fight.
The key word was size, not weight. It was also described as the size of 2-3 transit busses, not the weight.
lots of good data in the pics of this article on the Red Bull Stratos balloon that carried Felix Baumgartner to a then world altitude record for parachute jumps –
http://airpigz.com/blog/2012/10/8/video-red-bull-stratos-spacedive-felix-baumgartner-delayed-t.html
I like this guy’s assessment of what happened with the balloon.
Democrats need a better excuse for not shooting down,
they think we are stupid.
i looked but did not listen
IMHO
a drone – a UFO – a CGI
Air resistance alone would prevent that kind of movement from a 200 ft balloon.
Again – take a 12″ diameter toy balloon submerge it and move it under water – FAST as you can
you will not be able to move it as fast or as far as that video showed
what you can do – float it on the water. it will spin easily. you can also put it on moving water. The balloon will move with the water (float down the stream)
More balloon news and economics from people we might not like but agree with us.
The Democratic White House is caught in 2 big lies.
For carrying explosives it sure didn’t give any bang for the buck! From the videos I saw ….the balloon just….deflated.
I have seen more potent fireworks displays.
No, there’re three flashes of light, one at 3 seconds, one at 6 seconds, and then again as the payload is falling.
That is consistent with a deploying a charge big enough to carry out a self destruct on the electronics and any data.
The mission impossible self destructs don’t need to blow the whole room, just the recording.
did you ever put a pin hole in the bottom (below the belt) of a helium balloon?
it just sags until its empty
If you put the pinhole above the belt it might ‘pop’
might also depend on how ‘full’ the balloon is, how taught the ‘skin’
Oh good God.
From that video posted today:
Let me pause on one point you made. You said they’re preparing the citizens for war. In what respect?
Uh, amendments to China’s national defense law which went into effect in the beginning of 2021 take power away from the civilian State Council and give it to the Communist Party Central military commission and these are powers about mobilization for war.
But that’s not just the only thing we are seeing. For instance, the Communist Party cadres are going to factory owners and telling them to switch their production from consumer items to items for the Chinese military and matter of fact there have been so many of these orders to domestic manufacturers now the Communist party is actually running factories once owned by private entrepreneurs because the private entrepreneurs don’t want to stick around for XI Jinping’s war as they put it.
So, we can see that this is starting to be a total society effort and we’re just not paying attention. That’s one of the real risks and that is that China is preparing to go to war and we’re being oblivious.
The other downside is we’re sending billions of dollars of our military equipment to the Ukraine leaving our own military short of armaments for a real war!! The Ukraine war isn’t an existential threat to America but the ChiComs are! However our corrupt politicians believe the Ukraine war is an existential threat to their corruption needs and the Ukraine must be supported at any cost even stripping our military bare if necessary!!! How I loathe the Ukrainian war a total waste of human life and military material!!
Toronto local news is reporting that 122 people died in Toronto’s homeless shelters in 2022.
Seems extremely high to me.
The main culprit is drug overdoses, due to increased potency of the drugs on the street, particularly the presence of fentanyl.
Add this to the long list of suspicious and malign things taking place, that decrease the life expectancy and life quality of the average person.
Is some evil force at work? Perhaps with good intentions. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
We can get a glimpse into similar casualties in our own capital from the on the ground coverage of citizen journalists who chronicle daily life in D.C. Deaths and murders among the very visible homeless population are common. Their camps get moved around by authorities from week to week but there is a substantial population in the area around the big government buildings.
One things we can probably presume with a degree of confidence is that the homeless aren’t vaccinated so if they’re dying it’s not from the vaccine.
One thing working among the homeless (not with them but where they congregated) taught me was that the distance from my comfortable life at the time and their tent camps wasn’t that far at all. A few bad things, a few poor choices and it can happen to nearly anyone.
As the C19 medical and economic fallout matures, we may see another spike in homelessness. In difficult times it and death are always tugging at our elbow. God be with us.
Shouldn’t all the homeless people be dead from Covid? I mean if it is so contagious and deadly they should have been all wiped out.
Ding ding ding! Number 1 fact along with supporting those huge BLM protests in Brooklyn is how you KNOW, not think, it was all a lie.
Fentanyl use and alcohol abuse are statistically more life-threatening to that particular population in my experience of working ER shifts. They do get COVID also, but one has to treat the most acute problems on top more aggressively. Respiratory infections from multiple causes are common for people sleeping rough.
In Vancouver B.C. two cops handled 5 drug overdose deaths in a 10 hour regular patrol shift.
3 were sharing the “same kit” in a van.
That was before fentynal. Near pure grade H nicknamed “ China White” and was of an extremely high potency.
We are living in an alternate reality to the one I grew up in.
Cheers
Maybe the homeless went to every location that was paying people to get the mRNA shot and did that as a source of income? I remember reading news reports about that happening. Maybe there are a lot of them now reaping the rewards of the mRNA shot.
What a waste of money no one gives a sh*t about his SOU speech! It will be nothing but a string of lies and falsehoods! Is this going to happen every time this veggie shuffles over to Congress!! Good grief!!! They want another J6 but they aren’t going to get one!!! The corrupt leftist msm will have a field day over this and how dangerous President Trump has made it for ChiCom Joe with his election deniers and America Firsters! It’s just another false narrative!!!
no one cares about the speech, you are correct.
but i am sure its not lost on them that all of America knows the time and place where everyone who has caused our suffering and persecuted us, and plans so much more against us – will be.
so, there is that. i really don’t know why they are afraid of us – we’ve given them no reason to be – but perhaps we should take it as a badge of honor.
My guess it’s not as much about security as it about who has the government contracts to constantly put up and take down fences around the Capitol building.
Just more proof that we are a Third World Dictatorship run country!
Antifa has been activated to post as MAGA?….so predictable.

Who are our enemies?
I am asking this question, because I am curious to know who is on the ‘same page’ that I am.
1) Russia & China, etc. are NOT my enemies. Instead, I believe that they are trying to — and are engaging in — an alternative to where the Globalists want to take us.
2) My ‘enemies’ ARE, our own State Department, the CIA, the FBI, the current Executive Branch, the Main Stream Media, etc. Now, throw in WEF, IMF, the U.N., WHO, etc., as they are all intent on the same goals.
Two warring factions.
I am choosing #1, as they are not heading us down the horrible path of #2.
So, I am asking which ‘path’ everyone else wants to travel on.
Both are my enemy! I choose God’s path!
I don’t think that is a legitimate choice.
Russia may not be our (average American) enemy, but China certainly is simply because they are meddling in school systems, business espionage, local gov and national gov and then aiding election rigging
They want hegemony and therefore they want to dismantle US influence in all phases. Their view of the Chinese people as slaves to the state means they will treat us worse.
Number 2 is an enemy Because there are too many factions of self interest with no integrity sifting influence off the international political sieve for self enrichment being all the while played by China and every other international corp/conglomerate.
We the people have many enemies of freedom and none so trying as those among us that are oblivious or apathetic to the situation and just want the cut and dried good guy bad guy hero saves the day Scenario
Life is not a series of binary choices. The CCP can be in league with Davos, at least until it isn’t.
Think Game of Thrones. Who was “the enemy ” in that? The White Walkers, the Lannisters, the sorceress who burned children, Littlefinger?
Life is complex. If a chess game is going on here, it has at least 4 main players moving pieces, and that’s what’s even visible.
As best we can tell right now, Putin is pro-Russia and anti-Davos. That doesn’t mean he is pro- US citizens. He probably honestly doesn’t care about “people ” – he cares about the survival of Russia and Russians as a people.
Xi appears to be going for Emperor of China at a minimum, 7but making a play for shouldering aside Davos to be Emperor of the World too. Making his move now. He may or may not be a died in the wool Stalinist, but for sure he is Han Chinese. No one ever tells the truth about how the Han Chinese and how they truly think of other races. Hint: In their heads, they’re the Aryans and everyone else is the Untermensch. Now think of the 100 years of humiliation. What do we face now? An arrogant people who believe in their own superiority, with a point to prove against their former colonists. Plus, the US is clearly living down to its degeneracy these days in their eyes (see Grammys). Don’t discount that factor.
The UK royals and their Davos allies, well, we know their aims by now. Elite utopia as feudalism with happy slaves, freedom to be pedophiles, and the occasional satanic child sacrifice or two million.
What path should we pick?
Our own.
We the American People, unified, grounded, dedicated to faith, freedom, family, and the idea that we are all Created equal by God, with certain inalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (in the Scottish Enlightenment sense of pursuit of happiness), with the blessing of God Almighty, can defeat them all.
We Can Defeat Them All and renew our country and kick all the foreign interests and their lackeys out.
We forgot how to fight.
Now we need to wake up, remember who we are, and FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT.
Russia and China are dictatorships. I do not support dictatorships.
Path #2 will lead us to a dictatorship.
No difference, IMO. I choose door #3, which is all of them are my enemies.
Why why why are people on “our side” even engaging others on whether or not balloons floated across the US while Trump was President?
STOP.
I can’t count the number of times “we” have taken the bait on things like that over the last few years.
We end up going on defense when we should be on offense.
Its like we just received the kickoff, its first down, and we just toss the ball on the ground and try to tackle them.
The left are masters at turning the tables on things and we continue to take the bait.
Ukraine Conflict Update 02/06:
Russian Forces enter Bakhmut and Advances On Kharkov. Zelensky Loses Key Support.
Alex Mercouris at The Duran.
Calling it now:
Milley is a Chinese asset who managed to exceed even Aldrich Ames and Benedict Arnold.
And his crimes are about to come into the light from the dark corners where they have been hidden.
Complements to Xi Xinpeng. You (almost) had your ace in the hole. How’s he performing for you lately I wonder?
Devolution is a b#@ch, huh?
I believe the total defeat of Ukraine will demonstrate America’s priorities are dead wrong and have cost us the loss of all American credibility in the world.
Ukraine has absolutely ZERO strategic value to the USA and to the American people. Ukraine and its people are of no value to American politicians except as a money laundromat. American leaders don’t care the least how many Ukrainians die in this hopeless conflict.
Ukraine has now lowered the age of mandatory military service to 16. In perspective, your high school sophomore can be drafted and sent to his nearly certain death on the front lines. The average lifespan of a new, young arrival at the battle front is four hours.
You Americans who support this madness should be ashamed of yourselves. The Kiev tyrants were shelling civilians in the Donbas for more than 8 years. Those people do not now feel “invaded” or “conquered” by the Russians. They feel liberated because their terrible crime was to be ethnic Russian for which they needed to be killed in the eyes of the Kiev monsters.
They sought autonomy from Kiev and they were being murdered for their choice.
The USA was founded on the principle the people should choose their government. Those in Eastern Ukraine chose autonomy before this fighting began. Why must America arm those who murder them?
Ukraine is NOT one united people. Those in the east are ethnic Russian. Those in the west are ethnic Polish, Romanian, Hungarian, Moldovan and Slovakian. The tyrants in Kiev are rounding up young men in the ethnic Hungarian region to send them as cannon fodder against the Russians. There is such hatred of these Hungarians, they must die to satisfy the tyranny of Kiev.
There are even reports scoundrels in Kiev are ordering pizza’s and upon delivery, the young delivery guy is kidnapped, put in a uniform and sent to his death in the East.
This is no democracy. Opponents of the regime have been outlawed. Dissenting TV outlets have been shut down.
The U.S. Congress has refused to allow even a routine audit of the billions of American dollars flooding into Ukraine. Weapons sent to Ukraine have been diverted to nations in Africa.
Ukraine is absolutely NONE OF AMERICA’S BUSINESS.
When Ukraine lowers the age of mandatory military service to under 12, then the war will immediately end.
The Globalists will not permit any competition for that demographic.
If there were 3 undetected balloon incursions during Trumps presidency, how was the quantity of (3) identified for something was undetected? I call BS.
…and then there’s this:
“Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Marowiecki called on Zelenskyy to “temporarily” transfer the territories of western Ukraine to Poland.
“I don’t think Putin would dare attack a country that is an active member of NATO. He’s anything but suicidal. The western territories of Ukraine will be safe if they temporarily fall under the protectorate of the Polish state,” he said.”
Putin has publicly stated that he’s fine with Poland annexing Western Ukraine and that the people of Western Ukraine would be happy under Polish Administration.
