I must admit that sometimes I scratch my puzzler, when I watch geopolitical influence agents say the quiet part out loud, and yet no one seems to pay any attention.
In case you missed it – a few days ago (2/14/23), NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stepped in front of the cameras for an impromptu presser following a meeting of the NATO Defence Ministers at NATO Headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.
General Stoltenberg openly tells western media that NATO has been in a war against Russia since 2014. That’s when the combined effort of western political leadership, led by the U.S. State Department and NATO forces, overthrew the former Ukraine government and established the country as the center for strategic military operations against Russia. This isn’t the first time Stoltenberg has made this admission.
Against this backdrop, the February 2022 military incursion by Russia into eastern Ukraine (Donbas region), can be viewed as a counter-offensive against the NATO advancement; yet, almost no one in western media seems to hold these NATO admissions as a reference point in their outlines of the conflict.

And the evil Canadian Nazi, Freeland is the favorite to replace him.
NATO has outlived it’s usefulness and represents a worldview now out of sync with reality.
Getting rid of Freeland in Canada would not be a bad effect. Nato is turning out to be more equipped to fight a war of words and sanctions rather than an actual kinetic war. Freeland won’t be able to do any damage with Nato after Russia is done in Ukraine.
Freeland is the one actually wearing the pants in the liberal party. I’ll give her that credit. Justin has no idea what is going on.
Interested Patriot: Slight correction: Freeland is the one wearing the purple sausage casing.
It sure ain’t Hillshire’s sausage….
.
They love that Babylonian empire purple.
it is disgusting when women don’t dress their age
Always thought clothes should give a pleasant illusion on wearer.
Today it emphasizes features best camouflaged.
Another, “In your face,” statement by the ignorance running rampant now.
Future generations, if not too drugged out, will be gasping, “That’s my grandmother???”
Magenta/Fuschia?
That seems to be her favorite dress. She wears it fairly often.
Plum wine.
Sometimes appearances tell us everything we need to know. Judging by her facial expression and that strutting walk, she has a very big ego.
She just doesn’t have the figure for it anymore. If she ever did.
🤣
She should wear a girdle under that dress.
Who do these c#cksuckers think they are, dragging us into war?
They hope the beast will eat them last!
Soros gave her mama the Ukraine to develop their gov’t back in the day. Her mother, the child of a Nazi that sat close to Hitler. Wherever the Head Twerker lands she will take her mutated evil DNA w/her to destroy anything good.
I believe the Swedes and Finns would disgree with your assessment.
Both share a border with Russia and would be far better off be friends with Russia then enemies!
When Putin describes the breakup of the Soviet empire as the greatest tragedy of the 20th Century, and invades another soverign country Russia shares a border with, I expect Sweden and Finland didn’t need a crystal ball to determine that Russia probably does not want to be just friends.
Please explain why in October 2010, after it was announced that Solzhenitsyn’s works would become required reading for all Russian high school students, Putin described “The Gulag Archipelago” as “essential reading”: “Without the knowledge of that book, we would lack a full understanding of our country and it would be difficult for us to think about the future.”
(Joseph Pearce, Solzhenitsyn biographer)
History is a messy story. Russia is not the USSR.
I would like to see the primary sources where Putin says he wants to restore the USSR.
Please give your sources and quotes.
Just google it and you will get english translations of his speeches where he says it. I think the most recent was last year? Information is out there, you just have to let it in.
Separate the Soviet empire from Stalin and the predations of totaliotarian communism. Putin has.
Oh good the Hannity wing of the Republican Party is here today.
I imagine Trapper is still living in the past of the Cold War. Some people dont know how to let go.
Nonsense…
Absolutely nonsense! Putin has no desire to reinvent the Soviet Union. It’s beyond absurd to suggest it!
Grade A garbage.
I guess you failed to understand the context of his statement. Such as lands that had historically belonged to Russia were lost over night. Leaving tens of millions of Russians as minorities in newly established/ reestablished countries and we’ve seen how Ukraine has treated the Russian minorities for 8 years leading up to the war. Tens of millions of Russians immediately impoverished and left without a social safety net leading to a severe decline in birth rate. Putin isn’t the bad guy, in fact hes no more corrupt or tyrannical than DC and at least you don’t see him selling out the Russian people the way DC sells us out.
You have no idea what you’re talking about! Russia is not the Soviet Union and President Putin has repeatedly said that the Soviet Union is GONE. He has absolutely no desire to reinvent it. If you have any sense at all research that Eastern Ukraine is Russian and they population voted overwhelming MULTIPLE TIMES to breakaway from Ukraine.
You got that one right. …….. A knowledge of History and Putin,s actions since gaining power makes the future very predictable. …… Being ” Friends ” with Putin would not protect them. Look at Belorusa who are now virtually occupied. …….. Being able to defeat the Russian Army in the field is the only thing that will protect them. ……. Poland is fast building its defences for the same reason.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, NATO assured Russia it would not expand.
We know how that turned out…
NATO Started with 12, had 16 members in the eighties. Then after the end of the Soviet Union doubled in membership. So much for not baiting Russia…
NATO has since then expanded right up to, and along Russias border, most of Eastern Europe, except Ukraine.
Hitler invaded Russia through Ukraine. Every Russian knows this, apparently some of us don’t…
An agreement with NATO, or The European Union, would be worthless. I believe Putin to his credit, has finally realised this
The unipolar world that our globalist oligarchs have planned, will be the death of us.
“Russia probably does not want to be just friends.”
why would an even longer enemy laden border be good for Russia?
Let me guess, you are also convinced that Putin wants to recreate the Soviet Union?
Fodder for the dumbest of the dumb.
Wrong reference. Think Russian Empire/Peter the Great.
Is it Russia or the Biden regime that so threatened them that they ask to join NATO?
The wickedness of the US Dept of State may have been an influence…looking back ten years or more…
Both. A difficult card to play.
This , that , and the other thing may or may not be relevant. ……… The one Fact that is indisputable is that , except for the four years of Trump,s Presidency , Putin has been invading adjacent Countries and seizing Territory ever since he got into Power in Russia. …… Poland and the Baltic States know that they are next to be invaded. ……… Ukraine know that any negotiated Peace that does not completely remove Russian forces from all Ukrainian territory will be followed by another Russian invasion. …….. Putin,s word is valueless. ……. You do know that to get Ukraine to give up their Nuclear Weapons both the U.S.A. and Russia promised to defend Ukraine,s borders. ……. Only America is keeping it,s word, …….. The eastern Ukraine states that the unlabeled Russian Army invaded in 2014 were not majority Russian speaking at the time. …… You may not know that Hitler used the same claim to invade Chekoslovakia.
What countries are you talking about?
“Poland and the Baltic States know that they are next to be invaded”
Sorry but you are talking garbage.
They are not at risk of invasion. But of course they will be at risk of nuclear retaliation after becoming members of NATO.
What possible advantage will Russia gain by invading/occupying Norway, Poland, Finland etc?
Besides creating massive new fronts and requiring huge troop numbers, and stretching logistical lines, what possible benefit will Russia gain?
Putin must think there is a benefit . He has invaded Countries to the East and South as well as to the West. …… The only reason he has not invaded to the North is that there is no land there. …… Some Countries to Putin,s East are now cuddling up to China for protection , just as those in the West are looking to NATO. …… Of course China also wants some of their Russian occupied territory back.
No, why would he invade NATO countries?
No, I’m asking why would he invade NATO countries? Or ascending NATO countries, for that matter?
Ukraine has always been viewed as a buffer, and in fact the word means “border”, you know the thing that we don’t have along the southern USA. Putin has not had intentions of taking over countries that don’t have a large ethnic Russian population. Having a lot of independently minded Poles under his leadership is not something he wants-it didn’t work out very well last time.
“were not majority Russian speaking at the time“
This is a false statement.
Also, the vast majority of the approximately 14,000 civilian deaths(prior to 2022) in Eastern Ukraine, perished mainly due to shelling, were Russian speaking Ukrainians.
Now you’ve got me laughing. Until this BS proxy war was started by NATO not a single person in Poland was concerned about “being invaded by Russia”. Typical thinking from members of the military industrial complex that Eisenhower warned the nation about on his way out of office.
Well, if NATO claims it’s been at war with Russia in Ukraine since 2014, then NATO is admitting out loud that they are OK with the Nazi Azov battalion’s 8+ years of shelling and injuring and killing the Russian-speaking innocent civilians who hve been living in the Donbas for many many years before then.
The Head Twerker. One of those images I would like to get out of my head.
NATO is clearly a dangerous rogue institution. It’s own government.
I always believed the illegal NATO/Clinton Admin war crimes in the Balkans was in reality to pillage, plunder and break up Yugoslavia and get it out of the Orthodox Christian Russian sphere of influence. It was soon after the native orthodox Christian Russians got rid of the mass murdering Soviet Union aqnd dissolved the Warsaw Pact which should have meant the end of NATO and its “Nazi” origins.
Out of curiosity Colkitto, what do you make of arms intended for Ukraine turning up in Kosovo and Bosnia?
Many are turning up in the Sahel as well, but I already have a fairly solid handle on the purposes to which those will be put.
Remembering the CIA/NLA terrorist actions in Macedonia, which most do not remember, perhaps a restart there, (Greece?)a restart in Bosnia and perhaps Serbia where isolated monasteries were being destroyed. Open up many fronts against Orthodox Christians. I would be curious what you got if you feel like sharing friend.
I merely picked up here that those were the primary regions “Ukraine bound” arms were diverted to, if not intended for from the start.
Arms sent to the Sahel will surely be set to destroying African Christianity and furthering China’s goals on the continent, something I know you understand better than most.
I recall some stirrings in Bosnia and such of late but don’t have much insight myself, but I have suspicions, so I haz questions.
Great insight Maquis. I agree. I’ll go with a split of your suggestion and mine. Africa for China, and more fronts against Russia via its allies like the Serbs. Africa is a very important.
My regards
We have neighbours that are Bosnian….great folks.
IMO Uncle Sam is looking more and more to be one evil bass turd!
America is not what many thought it was.
Dekester:
Your 2nd and third line: Yeah huh?
If D C were obliterated tomorrow, I’d…… be sad /s
“America is not what many thought it was”
Replace it with.
“America is not what the founding fathers planned/ intended it to be.”
I believe there is still some hope for it
Hi Dekester. The Bosnian War was started by the criminal Clinton Admin when after a closed door meeting with Clinton ambassador Zimmerman, Izetbegovich the radical Bosnian Muslim that the US allied with (instead of the secular Bosnian Muslim leader Abdic) withdrew his signature that the Bosnian Serbs & Bosnian Croats had already signed proving the Clinton Admin & Izetbegovich started the Bosnian War.
Those people were used by NATO & the Clinton Administration to pillage,plunder, murder in the Balkans, for their profits and political goals:to break up Yugoslavia and get as many of the nations out of the Russian sphere of influence and expand NATO. Ty sir cheers
The US and EU are pushing a resolve between Serbia and Kosovo. If Serbia does not play along they will find themselves in NATO’s crosshairs.
So can we also be honest as to the fact that Klaus Schwab’s 4th Industrial Revolution is actually the realization of his 4th Reich? It would seem pretty clear by now that this is the real agenda for the 21st Century by the disciples of the National Socialist Party that destroyed Europe by the spring of 1945 has now grown another head to lead the world once more to its’ eventual destruction. Just listening to Klaus and his pet Yuval Harari and you’d see it as plain as day.
Fourth Reich of the Rich. A great book.
If China wasn’t so profitable for our globalist politicians and elite, we could have a proxy war against them out of South Korea or somewhere else close. Vietnam and Afghanistan are close but we obviously wore out our welcome.
Taiwan is already being setup as the next US politician’s cash kickback scam. Once the military equipment vendors have paid their cash back dues, the West, mainly the US, will just surrender Taiwan to China
The proxy country to deal with China is called Taiwan.
Wow, nothing subtle about that. Not a chance that was a slip up or taken out of context either. I hope they (NATO) and the US (I know, I know) crash and burn. Win/lose there will be consequences either way.
Could this be what he’s talking about? Yet I don’t see NATOs involvement here.
https://www.history.co.uk/articles/putin-s-gamble-russia-s-2014-invasion-of-crimea
Russia had a 100 year lease for the Naval Base in Crimea plus the Russian Naval Academy is in Crimea and 98% of the population of Crimea voted to join Russia!
Hush, youre not suppose to know that.
The first to say NATO was at war with Russia was the inept diversity hire, deep green blabbermouth Annalena Baerbock,Germany’s Foreign Minister.
Truth will out.
If anyone in this country in power says it, then it falls on Congress to declare war. And the facade that we are not publicly falls into a million pieces.
I’ll bet every member of Congress is on a knife’s edge, waiting for the degenerate Biden to slip up.
I’m waiting for an ethical reporter to ask him does he agree with Baerbock and Stoltenberg that NATO, of which we are a member, is at war with Russia.
Then watch the faces of every member of Congress turn a deathly shade of white.
Excellent insight as always friend Bet. The big question is, “will an ethical reporter” be able to get near enough to ask the fool of a puppet the question. Just like they did with that Gollum Adhern, all of the ‘reporters’ are all screened and its all scripted.
The answer is of course no as long as this illegitimate theater that is destroying our country is allowed to continue.
Just about everything we see especially with political theater is not real. My salutations
That is always the question, Colkitto.
Then the other is would he answer, or do what he always done…grin like the imbecile always does, while his demented brain goes back into neutral from first.
I’m betting the latter.
Blessings always, my friend.
beannachtaí mo chara daor
Nos da, cariad.
Or, one of the other things he likes to blurt out is “Give me a break, man!”. I have started to suspect that answer is for when someone’s question is especially close to the target…
Really, Linda, I can’t bear to hear him speak. I can’t bear to look at him. I feel physically ill if I have to do either. He makes my skin crawl. His little phrases make me sick.
followed up immediately with a lopsided smirk which is disgusting.
Doing as their told by the bankers (The Bank for International Settlements) which stand to profit greatly from a world war. And don’t forget that the BIS was organized and largely managed by Nazi supporters
The Green Party in Europe hates Russia for lots of reasons long before the Ukrainian Conflict.
Joe, the Green Party hates all of humanity….full stop.
Themselves excluded of course.
Ha ha-so true
Betsy, this may your most astute post to date, and that is a tall order.

Oh bless, Dekester. You wouldn’t believe that once upon a time, I actually kept my thoughts to myself. I was a shy little thing. Wouldn’t say boo to a goose. Thank you, dear friend.😊
You don’t have that problem now! LOL! Good on you. Shy people are kinda boring, bless their hearts.
Keep on rollin’, Betsy. All of us here are better for it. 🙂
Except for the psychopath war mongers like Lyndsey Graham
There is enough for all on our earth.
There us no reason to kill each other.

Huh? The Chinese version of the “COEXIST platitude”?
I don’t think so. Because for the greedy powerful on top it’s always “enough for you, but not enough for me.” And also no unless you think Americans should get with the globalists’ program and start divesting themselves of assets in order to enrich the rest of the world.
.
I’ll consider it when THEY START TO SET THE EXAMPLE…Algore sells his homes and moves into a regular rented 2BR apt, drives a 6 year-old car, and eats out at BK; Kerry sells jis yachts, homes, and lives similarly, and Klaus drives an old VW bus, lives in it.
SET THE EXAMPLE, DUDES. YOU FIRST!! Until then, STFU.
Gore lives in a multimillion dollar beachfront home on the Pacific Ocean in Encinitas California with his girlfriend! Like Bill Gates, Obama John Kerry and Biden all have $$$$ beachfront homes on the ocean! No concerns about the rising oceans! LOL
But within those other 3 seas it’s mayhem, chaos, murder…
Sean McFate wrote three books about Donbass, Ukraine, Russia, and the PMCs sent into the region a few years ago. McCrystal (sp) is mentioned. It was a mess in the books and it’s getting worse in reality. McFate is a strategist by trade.
“the February 2022 military incursion by Russia into eastern Ukraine (Donbas region), can be viewed as a counter-offensive against the NATO advancement”
Or – NATO involvement in Ukraune can be viewed as a Western European counter-offensive against Russian efforts to re-sovietize Eastern Europe. The story does not begin in February 2014.
You say potaeto, I say green beans.
However not everything a person or country chooses to “say is equally true just because they ” say” so.
Pharisees exist. Pharisees serve the Father of Lies; the NWO Death Cult.
In this case, even a casual truth seekers search quickly reveals that what NATO says about why they got involved in Ukraine is a “How Psywar Naive Are You?” Test.
Obviously NATO/NWO puppets are blatantly lying when they say their involvement is “a Western European counter offensive against Russian efforts to re stalinize Eastern Europe”.
Psywar Lies: Orange Man Bad. Vlad Man Very Bad. NATO Noble. Let the NWO destroy the world. Their Great Reset Build. Back. Better. Plan is super, duper fabulous. You will own nothing, live in a pod, eat bugs and realize that being happy is unnecessary.
There are multiple dynamics all moving at once and they must be addressed individually or we are lost. Do not conflate globalism with Western Civilizaton, NATO with the crackpot WEF, NATO with the US military industrial complex. They all move, sometimes together sometimes not.
That was part of the genius of Trump. He separated out different parallel interests and addressed them on their own, and that was largely why he was so successful. Look at each of his successes and ask “which interst did he single out here?” Analyze it that way, and each one jumps out at you.
I suggest analyzing the Russia – Ukraine – NATO – EU – The West dynamic the same way. Single one out, pursue it, and see where it takes you. Where it took me was to Putin’s stated desire to defeat The West (not just the crackpot WEF globalists) and reconstitute the Russian/Soviet empire. Then I looked at Ukraine in that light and all of it makes sense.
Trapper, where do you find conclusive evidence such is his intent?
I know he spoke of that great geopolitical disaster, but I don’t read that the way I see it regularly spun.
1991 was the year to sit down and draw sensible lines uniting ethnicities and fealties to ease the stresses created by the near artificial divisions that were simply frozen into place without regard to a reasonable sense of security for Russia.
We should have established neutral regions. Instead, we asserted that Eastern Europe was essentially that, and that we would honor that by holding NATO borders essentially as it was, then we steadily reneged on that promise.
Concurrently our Derps were saying Russia needed to be brought down, decolonized, broken up and plundered.
Putin’s aims are the security we ever promise but deny, not the territory raping expansionism we were sold on.
We made the post Soviet era the disaster it was.
I largely agree, but it is necessary to layer another dynamic on top of that. That dynamic is Putin’s overall worldview and his embracing of the fairy tale of a grand historic Russian Civilization. Google Aleksandr Dugin, known as “Putin’s brain,” and you get into it real quick. There is more at work than just reaction to NATO’s blunders and hubris. Also google Russian Civilizational Fascism.
A politician playing up a populist fairy tale to its citizens? Say ain’t so!
Again, vague crickets, zero quotes or surrounding context. ZERO
Oh., Sorry. I didn’t answer your initial question. Last year I made a hobby of reading English translations of Putin’s speeches (I know, WAY too much free time on my hands). I don’t know how many I read, a bunch. After a while the general tone and intent come through.
You also have done nothing to establish your assertion. Telling folk to read a book is useless.
Once again your only answer to your assertion
“ Putins stated intent to defeat the West and reconstitute the Soviet Empire “ is to tell people to go fish.
You have an assertion. You have provided ZERO evidence of it. Please provide both the evidence and the context.
Earlier, I attempted to subtlely explain to trapper the difference between the reestablishment of the Russian Empire and the Soviet empire. Apparently, that sailed right on through trapper’s skull.
I think Putin does not want missiles on the border between
Ukraine and Russia just like we didn’t want the old soviet
union missiles 90 miles from our border in Cuba.
I also think the Russian people who live in the border
cities in Ukraine want russia to take over because they
are treated very badly by the nazi ukranian azov military.
I want Putin to win
I doubt he wants Poland, etc.
i also want Putin to assassinate the stripper
and if our corrupt politicians are having dinner
with him, discussing on how to divide the spoils,
then I want a mob style multi execution
Z-Bag’s own Nazis will take him out.
He’s a bad guy in a bad spot.
That’s what I was thinking.
And why would someone analyze a politicians speeches while ignoring the will of the people in the affected region?
A la “Boondocks Saints”?
Global rule by an elite few + fascism + endless war.
Stoltenberg thinks Hitler got everything right.
Except for that Holocaust peccadillo..
NWO minions compulsively project who they are onto others.
Is NWO one of those dog whistles the NWO media obsessively claims Herr Trump uses to communicate openly with his supporters?
Obviously, normies have been taught that the N in NWO means New.
Do those who hear and understand NWO dog whistles believe the N means something else?
Relevant? Operation Paper Clip. Ukraine’s Azov Battalion. “Sum of All Fears”.
Bottom line, thank God Trump played “Nessum Dorma” at key points during his first term.
Perhaps its one of Trumps dog whistles? Perhaps its a sly reference to the iconic climactic scene in “Sum of All Fears”?
And McStain and Miss Lindsey were right in the middle of it
Is McCain’s funeral still going on?
.
Isn’t it interesting how the Russians felt the need for a counteroffensive as soon as Obama got back into power.
.
Very interesting! LOL
Well put. …… But they only stopped invading adjacent countries while Trump was in power. ……They then resumed , not started , the practise.
What adjacent countries? You mean like invading Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria or overthrowing friendly governments in Egypt and Libya…bombing Kosovo? Those countries!
NATO is a finishing school for the next crop of Eurotyrants, a spare parts depot for obsolescent armor and artillery, and a junkyard for discontinued Cold War weapons systems. As for aircraft and ships, NATO is the captured customer of American and European defense contractors.
America was saying the same thing just before the Second World War , While Germany was designing aircraft to bomb the U.S.A.. ……… Had America got involved when Hitler started invading other countries W.W. 11 would not have happened. ……. Pearl Harbour only happened because Japan knew America would have to fight Germany as well.
Are we the baddies?
Ja. 😔
NATO has outlived it’s usefulness other then being a cash cow for money laundering regimes while inflicting wide spread misery to the populations being affected. Let EU block wash their own dirty laundry. IMO that bottom picture above is spot on.

State Department Rightfully and Finally Accuses Russia of Crimes Against Humanity in Ukraine
By streiff (Zerinsky’s and the State Department’s Baghdad Bob)
https://redstate.com/streiff/2023/02/18/state-department-rightfully-and-finally-accuses-russia-of-crimes-against-humanity-in-ukraine-n705425
Watching their public displays of deranged hubris offers a geek show/peep show peak into an insane asylums modern remake of “The Emperor Has No Clothes”
These vassals of the US all knew it, but what is different now is that they are admitting it out loud and nobody is paying attention. Germany’s Baerbock blurted out, “We are at war with Russia” and then told the media that they had mis-interpreted her.
After reading a whole lot about the causes of the Russian “invasion”, I fully believe that the west, especially the US, purposely, systematically, and with malice aforethought caused this war for the benefit of the multinational corporations and banks who had eyes on the enormous profits they could plunder once more like the billions they stole in the 1990’s. And yes, I believe that their plans from 2013 onward (with a small pause for the presidency of Donald Trump) were always aimed at Russia.
And the winner is…..!
Russian Forces Capture Paraskovieka. NATO Losing Interest – Losing War. Macron Admits No Regime Change Russia. US Back Channels Offer Russia 20% of Ukraine Plus Crimea To End War.
Alex Mercouris at The Duran Today. Well worth listening.
Note the date; 2015, same time frame. That’s when the Globalists lost it, realizing Putin was a Nationalist patriot.
I think that’s the time when the Obama/Clinton Syndicate realized Putin wasn’t just going to lay down for a punk bitch like Obama, just because he wanted to gift the Entire Middle East to the Muslim Brotherhood in general and his Ayatollah in particular.
The Orthodox Christian Church has not been subverted like much of the “Western” Christian churches have.
Because they don’t worship and Pope.
Mainly because they bore the brunt of stopping the Moslem Invasion of Europe. There is a strong Racial Memory of this. This also explains the Serb,s hatred of Moslems.
Yes!
Exactly, the Russian Federation and its BRICS allies have achieved Civilizational breakaway status. When the United States is no longer a world power, which its race to the bottom is giving us a prelude to, then Europa will become a vassal state to Russia and China. People don’t realize the significance that Ukraine is for these last days. For millennia it was known as the home of Magog:
“Magog founded the Magogians, thus named after him, but were by the Greeks called Scythians.” ~ Josephus, Antiquities 1.123
Magogians = Scythians ~ Hesiod, Greek Didactic Poet, 8th Century BC
Scythians occupied whole North Pontic Steppe region formerly held by Cimmerians (10th-3rd Centuries BC) ~ Herodotus, “Father of History, 5th Century BC
Scyths later settled North of the Black Sea in what is now called the Ukraine. Scythian language belongs to the Iranian family of Indo-European languages. Originally in the area of the mid-Volga and Don river regions to past the northern Urals. Their northern boundary extending beyond the latitude of Kiev.
Crimea derived from the name ‘Cimmerians’. The name Caucasus is derived from Gog-hasan, Gog’s Fort.
The Great Wall of China referred to as Sud Yagog et Magog, the “Ramparts of Gog & Magog” ~ Philo, Josephus, et al
The Ezekiel 38-39 war describes the alliance of forces who all gather together to wipe out Israel, the only remnant left after America can no longer protect it. Except that they get destroyed on the northern mountains of Israel, and a false peace treaty is quickly created by an emerging world figure that hasn’t been revealed to us yet.

BBC Russian Language Reports Ukraine Casualties 10-1 Verses Russian.
Ukraine SitRep – Casualty Numbers, Lack Of Tanks, Something Is Up
There is some interesting news on the casualty count in the war in Ukraine.
Ivan Katchanovski translated bits from a Russian language BBC report:
“Based on open sources, the BBC managed to establish the names of 14,709 Russian soldiers who died in the war in Ukraine. Throughout 2022, Russian sources typically reported about 250-300 dead each week. In January, these figures doubled.” #Russia 1/
“But in just two weeks in February, the BBC Russian Service, together with Mediazona (recognized as a “foreign agent” in Russia) and a team of volunteers, managed to confirm the names of 1,679 dead, which is five times more than the usual weekly numbers.” #Ukraine #ukrainewar 2/
The war started in eighths week of 2022. There were thus 44 weeks in the rest of the year. With 300 dead per week the number of Russians killed until the end of 2022 was 13,200. (These numbers likely included the number of Wagner mercenaries killed but probably not those of the Donbas militia.)
The BBC then counts 2,400 killed in January and 1,700 in February.
The total is thus below 20,000 the number Col. MacGregor and others have estimated for the Russian side. The BBC says it estimates that it only catches half of the dead but gives no sound reason why that would be the case.
The daily losses on the Ukrainian side are much higher. The daily clobber list of the Russian Ministry of Defense mentions about 400 Ukrainians killed every day. This is consistent with the numbers Ukraine’s government mentioned last summer and fall.
Over the 358 days of the war the total sums up to about 143,000. The Russian reports do not include the number of those who got killed by the Wagner mercenaries in the Bakhmut area. That number is by likely well above 20,000.
In total the numbers are in the same range that we discussed previously.
I, as well as others who daily read the clobber reports, have noticed changes therein. Since the beginning of the year Russia has focused on countering artillery fire. An earlier Sit Rep mentioned the Penicillin passive artillery detection system that has been newly deployed with great success. Since then Russia reported a daily average of 12 destroyed Ukrainian artillery pieces. (This does not include shorter range mortars.) The number is now much higher than it was last year.

Posted this last night on the prez thread. Relevant.
This article is 1 year old, and tells the story.
The US has a shameful history of meddling in Ukraine
“The extent of the Obama administration’s meddling in Ukraine politics was breathtaking,” wrote the CATO Institute’s Ted Galen Carpenter, in a clear discussion of the extent of U.S. involvement in the coup that overthrew Ukraine’s President Yanukovych
What actually occurred is that the Obama-era assistant secretary of state, Victoria Nuland, working with Geoffrey Pyatt, our ambassador to Ukraine at the time, manipulated the political situation in the overthrow of the democratically elected president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, whose sin was that he favored a realistic relationship between his government and Russia, when interlopers from the U.S., notably Sen. John McCain, urged anti-government demonstrators in Kiev, in December 2013, to bring Ukraine into the West’s orbit.
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/02/the_us_has_a_shameful_history_of_meddling_in_ukraine.html
I have become so ashamed of my country…All those civilians killed, making room for ISIS, and all the Yazidis taken prisoner/used as sex slaves, the whole land torn up. Libya torn up, Benghazi. Now Ukraine.
BECAUSE JOE/MITT/KERRY, ETC ARE GETTING THEIR BALLS SQUEEZED FOR ENDLESS AMOUNTS OF OUR MONEY, to cover their endless crimes.
I want him stripped of all he has, put in rags, and pelted with tomatoes & rotten eggs, humiliated, shamed, given no meds, diapers not changed, despised, to make the rest of his and his stupid wh0re’s life a living hell for as long as they live.
A quick death is too good for him and her. Let him live and relive it every day of his shifty, worthless, corrupt life.
Same for McConnell, Kerry, Mittens, et al. And all their fortunes given to the Iraqi people.
I read that Victoria Nuland was working with the neo-Nazi C14, headed by Yevhen Karas. On February 18, the Canadian embassy in Kiev provided shelter and cover for the C14 provocateurs. Karas later boasted that the Maidan protest, were it not for the muscle of the C14, would have been merely a parade – and that is why the West provided weapons for them “to do their dirty work”.
On February 20, 2014, unidentified snipers began shooting into the crowd from the roof of the US embassy, killing 70 people and police. The next day, Germany, France, and Poland worked out a peaceful transfer of power where there would be new elections during the year after which Yanukovych would step down, but the purposefully agitated crowd rejected this and demanded that Yanukovych immediately step down. Yanukovych fled from Ukraine that night.
They tried a similar strategy against the secular government of Dr Assad in Syria, and failed, though they caused great destruction and suffering and got part of what they wanted was a refugee crisis to ship them to Europe for their planned WWIII
The new strategy to force war on the public that opposes war is to make it sound like we’ve been in a declared war for 9 years. Next will come the inevitable scare monger to the public that “this is a war we can’t afford to lose” which will get about 10% more chumps off the fence. You know the type.
They’re shifting the messaging to try and hoodwink the people into expanding the war. “We’re already at war. Been at war 9 years. Might as well go nuclear!”
We have seen this before. SEVERAL TIMES. Vietnam, for example, but more recently the failed wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And IIRC, a variant of this linguistic terrorism was used against the public to try and push us into the Syrian Civil War. The old “we can’t abandon our allies (al Quaeda) so we must go to war with Assad and the Russians.”
They already know a lot of the public is pretty stupid and easily spooked by scary lies (see also: COVID). So the messaging is shifting because there is a % of the public that will go along with total war in Ukraine against Russia in support of the “but what if we lose” lie.
Of course, the answer to “but what if we lose” is we hang the people responsible for the current quagmire (neocons and Democrats) as a deterrent.
If you don’t want nuclear war, or your kids dying for corrupt Ukrainian and American kleptocrats, hang the people forcing war.
In for a Genocide, in for an Apocalypse
we need to get our country out of
WEF, Agenda 2030, NATA and the UN.
Amjean: Under PDJT, we were headed in that direction. The global cabal of tyrants could not even tolerate the US stopping funding of WHO, a formerly low profile, globalist money laundering organization that was weaponized for Covid, and became quite dangerous.
I wonder what other wars they have lied about? How they got us into them and what happened. We all know the victors write the history. Sometimes they even make laws that you can’t question such history. But they tell you that you are free. Sure we are.
They lied about WMD’s in Iraq. They lied about Gaddafi. They lied about Assad and Syria. They lied about Serbia. In fact, I can’t think of one conflict in which the US was involved where we didn’t lie.
Looking backwards, while knowing everything we have learned about our corrupt leaders, the deep state, the corrupt media tools of our corrupt intell community and all the cooperation, support and cover they receive from them, and from the leadership of our most trusted allies in achieving their shared agendas and goals.
Once we accept these newly revealed realities as facts and not theories of course demands that we SHOULD look at some of the major events of the past few decades from a completely different perspective than the one we have been programmed to have.
We can’t pretend that we don’t see the matrix anymore.
Maybe this is posted elsewhere, but there were tens of thousands of protesters out on the streets protesting the continuance of the war in Ukraine.
Sunak in the U.K. N.A.T.O and Biden stilling pouring money in the cesspool is quite something.
The dirt on Western leaders must be stratospheric.
Cheers!
We ignore evil at our own terminal peril. These people mean to rule us using whatever means is necessary.
The US overthrew Ukraine in 2014. Victoria Nuland phone call proved that.
And now she is starting the color revolution scam in Hungary.
Maybe he is pushing 2014 because that is 100 years since start of WWI.
The world is NOT being run by it’s best and brightest people.
The good news is that the German foreign minister has generously provided a way out of this mess for Ukraine.
All Putin has to do is change his behavior 360 degrees.
Of course 360 degrees is where we are now. I think she meant 180 degrees.
I’m sure she checked several boxes on her application too. Insuring her position. One of the boxes she didn’t check was, “passed 5th grade math”.
The promise of material riches presented to narcissistic personalities (meaning hundreds of congress critters and fed gov superstars over the preceding decades) has resulted in “where we are now”… which is to say…
Up a stankin’ creek with
the likes of Obama and Biden and holder and nuland and power and rice and a massive list of treacherous characters and it can go on and on and on and on but the reader understands…
Our nation has been stolen…corruption reigns…corruption controls our media and our intelligence entities…our courts….our legislature and the only thing we can possibly do is say…
We see you…we know who you are
I have wondered where the anti war movement went.
They have finally surfaced and they will actually have a rally that was not promoted anywhere so the media can avoid covering it.
“Rage against the war machine” rally in the swamp tomorrow.
Que the inconspicuous FBIe undercover crew.
https://actionnetwork.org/events/go-to-washington-dc-to-rage-against-the-war-machine
It isn’t ‘the Russians’
Its the bolsheviks..
Front and center right here in ‘Murica every night and every day played out endlessly by “media”…
Useless talking heads spouting lies and twisted realities….
And calling it ” news”….
Wake up, youngsters….it’s you and your kids who will live out the reality the leftists have planned for you…
Wake….up……
Seymour Hersh: How The Nordstream Pipeline Was Destroyed.
Hersh also comments that his IC contacts said Ukraine is losing and the war will end when Zelensky realizes he’s killed enough Ukrainians!
Interview with Seymour Hersh:
Either a) Jens Stoltenberg was a Vietnam War protester who had a miraculous pro-NATO transformation-of-character; or b) per Hersh, this elite son of Norway’s pro-NATO Defense Minister was an informant when his anti-US protester “friends” got pinched, and Jens moved up to NATO HQ
Another Ray Epps snake in the grass 🙂
The picture of the kids… aaah.. memories.
We would give them”timeouts” looking out the windows…. kids….
You know, it’s a beautiful thing watching all these buffoons go out of their way to expose themselves. It’s kind of up to the people now to pay attention and discard this institution. It’s certainly outlived its usefulness.
If Trump is in office in January 2025, he must change his NATO policy from “withdraw unless they pay their fair share” to “withdraw without conditions.”
Meanwhile, impeach Biden.
And just who agreed to this war? And why weren’t the people of nato countries told? The nato Treaty was about a collective defense, democracy, and peaceful resolution of disputes. How does a proxy war (act of aggression) in a non nato country meet that definition?
Billions for Zelensky.
Nothing for EP Ohio.
There’s nothing “defensive” about NATO anymore. Every one of their “expansions” has one and only one crystal-clear purpose. It is a slow-motion game of chess. The pieces are being maneuvered into position.
But, what they are not admitting to themselves is that they lack the power to carry it out. “Tom Swift weapons” will not carry the day. Neither will nuclear ones. It will become a grueling, bloody, conventional ground war and you will run out of supplies and men before they do. Particularly with mighty China as their ally.
Too bad you didn’t listen to a five-star General when you had the chance.
Stoltenberg is a sellout tratorious backstabbing, American hating deep state nazi.piece if filth!! President Trump sized this skag this guy – Mr Trump had no use for him!!
President Trump was right the USA needs to have pull ed out of nato years ago.
Nato is part of the davos scumbagged tratorious new world order global criminal deep state
If you still think any POTUS runs the country, this should convince you. State Department has full control and they will never give up. They all want to be in the one World Government. Don’t know if there is enough room for all of them.
Just wondering why so many surnames leading this present march into hell, are like those I’d find reading history of Naziism, either as leaders or victims of it.
Going back to onset of today’s revolution, which seems before WWII in USA, this keeps leaping off pages in press & books.
Curious thing & it seems world-wide.
By his standards and logic, would he agree that China is at war with us?
They are not at war with Russia they are at war with Putin they’re are two people standing in the way of the NATO, UN agenda they are Putin and Trump they both love their country and they’re both fighting for their lives and if they fall the obstacles standing in the way of our enemies are gone and if you think it’s been crazy up to this point you haven’t seen anything yet. You may say what about DeSantis answer he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing he is the great pretender.
Freeland and Nuland – one and the same.
NATO will fall like the French 3rd Republic did on 10 July of 1940. Led by incompetent bureaucrats and professional politicians installed for towing the ideologically defunct policies of a dying empire. That being the American empire, of course. Anyone else see the handwriting on the wall? Admitting to the crime after the fact is just the usual blatant hubris shown by such proud, boastful, unqualified personas. Same type seen at the end of the International Military Tribunals even as they were led to firing squad post or the hangman’s gallows.
In any case, it is abundantly clear that they have zero experience left with kinetic war against a powerful, self-reliant enemy. WW2 was eighty years ago, and fought by a completely different set of countries – different except for Russia.
Their only experience is with two-bit wars of choice in little desert countries. And even these did not go well.
The USA thinks that it is still Rocky Balboa. It has another painful lesson coming. War never goes “according to plan,” and it waits for no one. The USA has never lost a war … yet.
I despise any politician who tries to tell me that this is America’s war, regardless of what letter they put beside their names. The R’s and the D’s mean very little to me these days and it should mean very little to every American who believes in freedom. It’s not about R’s vs D’s or black vs white. It’s about us vs them, meaning us peasants vs big government, regardless of which party is in charge. The sooner the majority realizes that, the sooner we can come together and fight tyranny.
“That’s when the combined effort of western political leadership […] overthrew the former Ukraine government and established the country as the center for strategic military operations against Russia. This isn’t the first time Stoltenberg has made this admission.”
At no time has Stoltenberg stated that anybody other than the Ukrainians overthrew the Putin installed Ukrainian government in 2014. Nice try.
NATO supported Ukraine when Russia stealthily invaded Ukraine in 2014? Not a surprise.
Russian aggression is the reason that NATO exists in the first place.
SOVIET aggression and that mostly exaggerated. Go ahead. Poke the bear … and its ally, the Panda. Good thing the USA still manufactures everything that it needs …
Otherwise, better look before you leap. War is Hell.
” better look before you leap. War is Hell.”
Tell it to Vladdy Poot Poot, the Russian aggressor. He’s leapt into war in Georgia and Ukraine just this century.
No telling where he’ll invade next.
Go ahead, let the bully have his way.
Letting bullies hold sway is a sure way to stop them./
You have no idea of the true and ancient blood-soaked history of this region. No idea at all. It goes back before the Tsars.
“No idea at all.”
You don’t know me.
Additionally, Russian rapacity going back to the Czars and Cossacks? Irrelevant today.
The same people pushing for WW3 in Ukraine are the same people who impeached Trump for asking Zelensky to look into the Biden Crime Family. Gee, there must be a connection there, but I can’t imagine what it could be…
They spent their lives protesting the Vietnam War, but now they’re just itching to reenact it – nuclear this time – in Ukraine? Makes one ponder their real motives, doesn’t it? Maybe The Big Guy knows…
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in a doorstep on the 14th February belied the more recent (24th Feb) statement by US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin that: “Russia launched an unprovoked and indefensible invasion of its peaceful and democratic neighbor Ukraine”
Quoting Stoltenberg from the NATO transcript
Does that mean NATO was providing training and equipment to Ukrainian armed forces in “peaceful and democratic” actions against pro-Russian regional government forces? And who might think that a provocation to Russia?
