In mid-April of this year, I was sitting in a Starbucks (renamed Stars Coffee) in the Galleria Mall in downtown Saint Petersburg, Russia, watching the massive crowds of shoppers that looked like something out of a mid-1990’s Christmas season in the USA. The place was packed with people shopping.
As I sipped my coffee, on my phone I was reading a Wall Street Journal report about the devastating impact of the Western sanctions against Russia, “according to those with an understanding of Moscow’s situation.” I read a paragraph, looked up at the crowd, read a paragraph, looked around and the bags being carried, I laughed.
A little later, I filled the gas tank in my rent-a-car for $15 and drove past miles upon miles of towering apartment buildings under construction, having just read about the shortage of ‘steel’ in Russia, “according to sources familiar with the matter.” Stopping to buy a week’s worth of groceries for $70, I referenced the other article from the Washington Post that day about massive inflation in Russia, “according to expert western economists.”
Several weeks later I had another cup of coffee at a cafe’ in eastern Ukraine, while reading a New York Times article about mass casualties and alarming bombing that was apparently happening all around me. The sun was shining, but it was a little chilly. It was very odd, to read the USA publication describing “despair” evident to them, somehow, while I see smiling faces of people all around me doing ordinary things and enjoying sausage rolls.
The journey to understand the manipulation of information flow from the U.S. Intelligence Community to Americans, really solidified in those moments. Yes Alice, this is why the IC controls social media, I thought to myself.
Now, all of that said, listen to National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan:
.
Did the host really ask how the IC was going to “Trump-Proof” their Ukraine agenda?
Ha ha yes!
Laughable arrogance.
I hate these people.
With good reason. Can’t wait for the Oscars; so many nominations for best actor in a political farce. 1984? More like The Truman Show. It’s all a fraud. Have a good read, especially the link embedded within the article below. What we think we know is probably a lie. If there is any hope whatever, it will be if Trump actually delivers on the promises. Somehow, I think something will always turn up to prevent him.\
theydoprotesttoomuch.pdf
With your statement beginning with ” if Trump actually delivers on the promises…” you shot yourself in both feet. Take your doom and gloom and get lost. All in 4 freedom? I seriously doubt it.
“Wag The Dog” – The sequel.
“She should have won the Oscar,
She must have been miscast,
Her 15 minutes went by so fast,
I said, ‘hey, baby, ain’t you got no shame’
She looked at me uncomprehendingly,
Like cows at a passing train.
If dirt were dollars
We’d all be in the black.”
Me too
Yes. She might as well have asked what specifically they will put in place to thwart the will of the American people. These people can pontificate endlessly about the threat they say WE pose to democracy, but when we democratically elect a President by a lanslide, all they can think of is how can they obstruct the results of that democratic process they blathered about for the last 6 months.
How is this not considered treason? An election has been held and won decisively by President Trump. The people have spoken using the voice given them by the US Constitution. How then do these people plot and scheme to thwart the representative who we have chosen to implement our wishes??
“Our democracy”?
What a sick joke!
😡
There was an SoS spox who said that they are working on a plan so that funding (the war in) Ukraine will continue regardless of Trump being president.
They are like Nixon used to say; “too clever by half”.
I liked the one about gaslighting the need to spend the remaining six billion already approved by Congress before the Inauguration.
Then, a few minutes later gaslighting the need for more money as if the first talking point was never presented.
I think I come up with a new pearl chuting meme.
Cross talking dangling suppositions.
And, it’s just not the nit and git of tax payers money.
I am down with the serious nature of Mr. Sullivan’s complete composure in presenting the complexities of the background of a raging war in Ukraine in sound bites.
Its just that, the accounting and audibility that the DoD and Pentagon from which these funds are meant to be needs based analyzed, procured and delivered within the limits of massive policy driven restrictions on authorized expenditures.
I mean just what can that money be spent on in the next two months that has not already been spent in the last six months.
Notice no where does Jack say,”Why not has this money been spent if the need is so imperative.”
It must be nice to be able to present to the President the newest and latest six billion dollar bunghole kickback project to the Pentagon.
And, have the latest feedback market share Nelson Ratings from Face the Nation’s DC echo chamber to substantiate the hoodwink not on the American Taxpayer but on those paying the ultimate price while trying to pin the exit strategy blame game on President Trump and indirectly on those that voted him.
–“Cross talking dangling suppositions.”–
Nice phraseology-I like it!
Yes! And how about Jake saying that Austin & Blinken told their Israeli counterparts “a list of expectations “! Gawd the arrogance.
I ditto Bill’s comment
This is the first time I’ve seen and listened to Jake Sullivan.
I think I just lost 10 IQ points.
In Bizarro World he must be Mayor of Inversion Town.
Or Potemkin Town.
He’s like a windup Ken doll
Oh – my Ken doll in childhood was far more handsome than little Jake, despite Ken’s fake furry hair, that gave him weird pattern baldness at only a few months old.
I’ve watched Jake many times in these Sunday shows. He’s a master at keeping a straight face while giving excuses for our enemies and lying to the American people.
I have heard President Trump speak many times about the destruction of Ukraine from this war…Is he deceived on this matter?
I like “It should be up to Ukraine to decide how and when it goes to the negotiating table..”How about the peace negotiations Boris Johnson talked Zelensky out of making?
Russia is doing fine. The elites want their money game?
I want to see Russia preventing BlackRock and all the other money making scheming a-holes from getting a single teaspoon of dirt.
If you understand Biden and his hidden bosses…. you understand the end game with Ukraine was for China to take over Ukraine, because China needs the fertile land to feed their people. If you connect the dots it all aligns, especially with his son and cohorts doing business in both places.
What kind of money game is it?
It can’t be all yachts moored in Monaco, fancy handbags and cars.
Remember the CIA labs that the NYT wrote about? Apparently “shut down”. Am sure the underbelly of the corruption is horrific.
Thank you – most heartily – Sundance!
“. . . according to sources familiar with the matter”
He is a tool who has been branded with marching orders – but to what end?
Ukraine has always been the ticket to attack Trump.
PDJT abandons this otherwise corrupt wasteland of a nation, he is a Putin pawn…
Eff that…
I despise this Sullivan freak – and he is a freak… so much.
Trump will handle all of this in the art of the deal.
Not one more dollar for Zelensky’s JV team.
Too many dead bodies to count.
Ukraine and it’s dark state proxy (U.S.) wanted this demonic war…
basta!
Go Trump!!!!!
“Trump proof the strategy”
Traitorous Tokyo Rose.
The American People overwhelmingly voted for Pres Trump. To say they need to “Trump proof” the strategy is really to say that they want to AMERICA-proof the strategy.
In stark terms CBS and the regime are telling us all, “We don’t care what you think. It matters not that we’ve failed. All that matters is expanding the war.”
There’s an obliviousness to these people that manages to be simultaneously unsurprising yet shocking.
I can’t wait to hear the IC and DOD insisting, “No, no, no, we ARE going to war with China next year.”
“Simultaneously unsurprising yet shocking” – That’s it! I was trying to figure out what it is that all of these Sunday morning clown shows have in common.
Yes what she said was traitorous. Can some sitting senator send her. A letter or write an op Ed telling her so?
CBS needs to lose its broadcast license.
Remind me how Russia influenced the recent election with fake videos again.
I don’t recall those!
Yeah, not a clue what she-it is taking about.
Fear porn to keep the money flowing as long as possible. So many phony robots that I will not miss at all.
Sanctions against Russia as a way to do harm to their economy. Hmmmmmm………Just how fragile is their economy when compared to ours? Well…..back in 2022 we had a debt-to-Gross Domestic Product ratio of around 120%. (yikes!) In 2023 Russia had a debt to GDP ratio of around 19.5%. If those spend-a-holics continue apace they should reach 25% debt-GDP ratio by 2029.
Do the Biden-Harris people really think we have the ability to cause them economic harm? 35 years ago, maybe. Today, not so much.
“we had a debt-to-Gross Domestic Product ratio of around 120%.”
If you deduct the current 50% of GDP calculatons of federal, state and local government spending, as though that spending was tangible “products” we have a 180% debt ratio.
“Do the Biden-Harris people really think we have the ability to cause them economic harm? ”
16 sanctions packages, blowing up Nordstream, and unleashing a million man NATO army has only strengthened Russia.
We export inflation through the international use of the US Dollar in trade. If BRICS becomes a real thing, we will implode.
Trump must, 1, stay alive, and 2, not allow any Neo Cons into his administration.
This is the creep whose wife just defeated the wonderful Lily Tang in for a NH Congressional seat (District 2 iirc). Note that Mrs. Sullivan ran using her maiden name (Goodlander), and rented an apt in the district in order to run. She and Sullivan own a $1.5 MM residence nearby.
One can’t dislike these people enough.
Corrupt-o-crats…
Not a good look when one of the Chinese officers was goofing on old Jake during the recent China trip.
Not much got accomplished, apparently.
“Dislike” isn’t a strong enough word.
They are Marxists burrowing in all over our government.
I smell corruption in this NH Selection!
It asks me to sign in and then disappears?
They are trying to weave a narrative regarding Ukraine…
It’s all Trumps fault.
They are going to try and get more money 💰
Ain’t going to work 💁 🤷♀️ 💁
America First 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If I remember, it was Jake who said modern warfare was about winning the narrative. Seems Israel is stuck in the old definition of unconditional surrender or annihilation.
It’s like the nitwits in the Obama administration talking about the power of hashtag. WTF? Are you seriously so stupid you think the enemy cares one whit about a hashtag on Twitter?
No, that was one of his peons.
It’s the same “over there”, wherever “over there” is. I have a sister-in-law who loathes PDJT 45-47 because all she knows about him is what is reported in Australia. Global legacy media are a propaganda machine, nothing more, and that’s why they are going away.
Fear not, lotsa Trump supporters here in Oz
The American IC has always been very active influencing the global media. It’s especially apparent in NATO countries. I don’t blame my European friends for their TDS — they’re largely the victims of leftish and/or neoconservative American-produced propaganda targeting them.
When any of these people use the phrase “Trump-Proof” remember they are actually saying “Will of the People-Proof.”
….and they know it.
🎯 🎯 🎯!!!
I wonder WHO writes these question/answer scripts that these installed puppets of the blob read, sometimes, quite effectively?! LOL!! SMDH!
CIA – Operation Mockingbird Media
The Russians aren’t my enemy. The Ukrainians are not my friend. The only reason Congress would send billions of our tax dollars to the Ukraine would be to support the Neocon war-pigs in the US Congress. And to get their mordida in return. We must never forget that little feature
Out of all the billions of dollars we’ve sent to Ukraine and the little runt Z can’t afford a suit…🤑
BWAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only Bleakness we see is that created by Washington DC.
Their efforts to import such to Russia has backfired spectacularly!
Shouldn’t he be at home, polishing up his CV and shining his interview shoes?
Ummmm Biden’s plan for the short time he has left in the White House is having ole Jakey Sullivan break all regime cell phones with a hammer 🔨
After all Sullivan doesn’t need any training whatsoever bc he did such a great job for Hillary ROTTENHAM Clinton.
Sorry I just couldn’t resist.🤷🏻♀️
What’s the real deal regarding Salt Typhoon hack Margaret Brennan brings up at end of interview? Something’s afoot.
“Salt Typhoon reportedly gained access to Verizon, AT&T and Lumen Technologies by exploiting systems used for lawful wiretapping, which are designed to comply with government surveillance requests.”
https://www.axios.com/2024/10/15/salt-typhoon-hack-china-verizon-att
I know Axios is crap… but it’s all I’ve found so far.
What the he** was Brennan talking about re Russian fake videos?
The videos of child abuse and murder we are about to see. They will call them fake…
Biden transition will make F-Ups… – this is not a Jarrett operation or a Podesta op. Biden, as Barry said will “F’ EVERYTHING up… So Jakey does not have the A-Team behind him as rats are jumping off ships.
No one on their side ever respected this twit.
Deep state is choosing sides. Trump has the magnet. Unavoidable. To big to rig.
Deputy Dog’s nasty wife beat Lily Williams after she embedded herself in NH. I am going to nominate Lily for a position in the new admin. I wonder if Trump is even aware of her?
Sausage rolls, dang. At our Farmer’s Market there was a woman that moved here, and became a citizen from the Kosovo war. She made the most incredible sausage rolls. Nothing like you would find made from the U.S. I wish I had one right now.
Consider the platform.
Face the Nation.
The repository of circular thinking leading to circular presentation. Which begets more circular presentation to even more circular thinking.
It kind of loopy in that the back and forth strings out all these talking points that answer themselves by the presention of questions that answers themselves and the serious inquiries are just presentations to more talking points as answers for the presentations.
No wonder outside of DC, it is known as Faze the Nation.
It may be known as such inside the beltway on a good day or bad.
Since I am not sure if the beltway knows or cares anymore.
After watching, not sure if this was Jake interviewing Margaret or Margaret interviewing Jake.
Maybe thats the whole point and all that matters.
Just as long as it sounds good and it looks like both know what’s being talked about.
It is not even the self serving showmanship across the table that brothers me.
It’s the diorama of talking points wrapped in a presentation dioramas.
When really those outside of DC just want to know?
How many pizzas did the National Security Advisor and the Face the Nation teams eat to put together this scripted presentation.
MTK, as soon as I read your post and saw the word “diorama” I knew you had a sharp focus on this continuing con being presented to the American public. So Biden and Jake intend to tell Trump how things are and will be until Jan 20th…
I expect Trump to smile and say “good luck with that” while asking for a McDonald’s burger with diet Coke to go as he exits the White House!
I call it Deface the Nation.
They built a set inside a hotel room to practice. It only cost $200k.
“It kind of loopy in that the back and forth strings out all these talking points that answer themselves by the presention of questions that answers themselves and the serious inquiries are just presentations to more talking points as answers for the presentations.”
Finally! Someone plagiarized Kamala Harris, direct from the all you can eat word salad bar 🙂
Circular journalism has always been a favorite of mine. Plus hat tip also for Nancy Mafiosi Pelosi explaining her “wrap up smear”, is a nice touch too.
In my best faux cockney accent “nice ass! shame about the face the nation”.
“Trump proof ” Biden’s strategy. That witch!
#FakeNews
I wonder if the word Crowdstrike came up with Trump’s discussions with Zelensky.
Jake “The Snake” Sullivan appearing on another CBS infomercial.
I remember reading of another author reporting on some spanish war. he too was sipping coffee in a nice quiet spot in spain reading a newspaper article about the place he was sitting being bombed as he sat there. sure surprised him. can’t remember if that reporter was Orwell or Hemmingway or somebody else.
“The first and most important message is, I’m about to lie my @ss off. And you at See BS will pass it on as the absolute truth. My job will be done here. Thank you for having me….”
Am I silly for wondering if Trump will lay out a deal before Biden in that meeting, e.g., I will pardon both you and your son if you completely seal the border immediately + whatever else would pertain to Biden doing his worst up until the Inauguration?
I was thinking Trump would hold that pardon option in his right pocket for Hunter Biden, waiting to see what happens with the law suits and that NY judge who has a decision to make, sooner rather than later. Biden does not want his son in prison, he also wants to keep his monies while thinking he is bullet proof; yet, he knows there is a “new sheriff in town” who intends to clean up the mess as best he can beginning with Biden/Obama leaving Washington, DC.
My top priority is that President Trump stay alive to take the oath of office this Jan 20th: Biden and others wish differently.
He looks like he’s been crying.
Evil eyes.
Or spending long, sleepless nights trying to figure out how to spin all of this crappola in a good light for the swamp!
Almost every word that comes out of Jake Sullivan’s mouth is either hypocrisy, gaslighting, or a blatantly biased lie, fully opposite of the truth, and no complete thought that he states has any truth to it.
Russian influenced the election – LIE. North Korean troops in Ukraine imminently – LIE. Sanctions on Russia are working – LIE.
This is obviously set up by the CIA to get some kind of agreement by President Trump or to try to manipulate him or get some dirt on him or figure out how they can stop him in the future. I hope he will sit and listen and say nothing. Make no statements, not even a yes or no.
President Trump is an amazing man. He has to meet with a vile demented person and listen to his insane advice while maintaining composure. For this alone he deserves my utmost respect and prayers. Almighty God guide and guard President Trump.
Kamala and joe are fake and controlled. So it is also with the fake controlled news.
I never listen to them.
“Several weeks later I had another cup of coffee at a cafe’ in eastern Ukraine, while reading a New York Times article about mass casualties and alarming bombing that was apparently happening all around me.”
It is truly despicable what these clowns have done to the nation in order to push a narrative to hide their agenda.
Avdeevka and Bakmut were bombed to smithereens. We see daily where the bombs are dropping, but this is proof that the Russians are doing everything they can to avoid civilian deaths or disruption of civilian life.
Just keep the Ukraine aid flowing!! That his sole message.
Jake Sullivan, Joe Biden, Antony Blinken and Victoria Nuland are responsible for setting up and provoking this ridiculous proxy war by suckering Ukraine into an unwinnable war against Russia resulting in the needless death of 600k Ukrainian men (1.35M wounded + Russian casualties). And let’s not forget their scuttling the 2022 Istanbul peace agreement and blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines and I could go on. These Satanic DC vampires should be put on trial for war crimes. Don’t forget how they let American Journalist Gonzalo Lira suffer and die in a hell hole Ukrainian prison because he was deemed to be a pro-Putin propagandists most likely for his humorous criticism of Nuland.
Actually… it was John Mccain, Lindsey Graham, Obama, Biden and one other woman (I can’t remember her name) who ran the first bailout funds to Ukraine after the Coup in 2014. She was also set up to run the Puerto Rico bailout funds….. Aka the Money Launder.
Props to you and Sammy C for pointing out who the “REAL CRIMINALS” are.
An overseas question – did this guys wife get elected? I seem to remember she was ruining for town dog catcher or something.
The cheat was successful.
Yup!
But, it wasn’t for the town dog catcher, it was for the uni-party doggy representative. <grins>
I only saw and heard a puppet.
Trump should NOT say anything about plans to Trump.
Be assured that the meeting would be bugged and then distorted and released to smear Trump.
PLEASE anyone tell Pres Trump to KEEP STUMM
Of course Biden and ho’ Kamala will send more money to Ukraine
And here we have the Russia Russia mantra again
EUROPE SHOULD PAY FOR UKRAINE’S DEFENCE
All the money sent there is stolen
Ukraine is losing the war.
There is no peace in Gaza until the hostages are released.
As for Lebanon-daily the IDF uncovers long tunnels filled with weapons and rockets galore. It also has found Hezhollah weapons depots and sites near UNIFIL posts. So until Lebanon is cleansed of Hezbollah and all their weapons, Israel will not leave.
All everyone reads here is from the lying lefty media who hate Jews and Israel.
You just have to read these X accounts daily
THEY ARE ALL PRO PRES TRUMP
https://nitter.poast.org/sentdefender
Another
https://nitter.poast.org/Osint613
And another
https://nitter.poast.org/MossadIL
I read these daily and there is a lot of evidence of terror by Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran/IRGC/Syria
And FYI-Israel just took out the killer of Lebanon’s previous Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri and wounded 226 others
The US offered a $10 miilion reward for him
Someone just got $10,000,000 richer.
https://nitter.poast.org/Osint613/status/1855658047919530207#m
Israel also took out the terrorist who bombed the Marine Corps barracks in Beirut which killed US soldiers
“On October 23, 1983, Hizballah killed 241 U.S. military personnel, including 220 Marines, 18 sailors, and three soldiers in a terrorist bombing of the Marine Corps barracks in Beirut, Lebanon. Minutes later, a second suicide bomber killed 58 French paratroopers. Six innocent Lebanese civilians also lost their lives. The abhorrent and shocking attack on the Beirut barracks remains to this day the single deadliest day for the U.S. Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima.”
So stop dissing Israel and the IDF-they are cleansing the world of these terrorists who killed Americans
There is no Hezbollah in the northern Lebanon CHRISTIAN village of Aitou that Israel bombed;
Israel bombed a Lebanese refugee camp in Syria this morning- multiple women and children killed;
Lebanese standing count of known women killed – 619, children killed – 194, standing count nationwide – over 13,000 women and children killed or wounded – LEBANESE
Marine Barracks attack – 1983
Hezbollah creation – 1985
Let’s hope Freeman is wrong
https://www.lifesitenews.com/analysis/former-us-ambassador-says-trump-is-essentially-a-prisoner-of-the-israel-lobby-is-he-right/
I was very happy to see Caroline Glick full of glee and cheering loudly that PRESIDENT TRUMP WON. She is my go to gal for what is actually going on in Israel.
Sullivan needs to read up on the “sunk cost fallacy” when he is in prison. How many Ukrainian men still die every day because of his push to continue the war.. 1000? 1500? 2000? Have they lowered the conscription age in Ukraine from 25 to 18 yet? What’s next … send untrained Ukrainian woman rounded up in vans to the front line to get blow to shreds within 24 hours of arrival?
Jake Sullivan and Tony Blinkin are probably working overtime trying to “Trump Proof” their failed foreign policies that started two hot wars.
.
Why do they sit on those uncomfortable-looking chairs that are too high? Sullivan’s feet doing tiptoe like a little kid…

@Osint613

Trump held a phone conversation with Vladimir Putin, during which he urged the Russian president to avoid escalating the conflict in Ukraine and reminded him of the significant U.S. military presence in Europe. @John_Hudson

WORTH READING THIS GUYS X ACCOUNT–warning –he is from the WaPoop but he sems to have some intel–IS THE GOVT /IC SPYING ON PRES TRUMP AND PASSING INTEL TO THE WaPoop???
“Trump’s calls with world leaders are not being conducted with the support of the State Department and U.S. government interpreters. Trump and his aides are distrustful of career government officials following the leaked transcripts of presidential calls during his first term
https://nitter.poast.org/John_Hudson
It’s a new ball game, everyone! Once burned, twice learned.
And Sundance repeatedly points out that the WaPo is the mouthpiece of the CIA.
All WaPo articles are IC propaganda and lies.
Puhleese
This looks to be incorrect. This within the last hour from Moscow.
There was no conversation between Putin and Trump, which was recently reported by the “Washington Post”, this is false information , Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
There is still no concrete plan for contact between Trump and Putin. Moscow has not yet received any signals indicating that, Peskov added.
The Russian special operation continues until all its goals are achieved.
“This is the most striking example of the quality of information sometimes published in respected publications. It is completely untrue. It is pure fiction, false information,” Peskov said.
The contrast between President Trump’s genuineness and these tools’ blatantly studied and phony words and mannerisms is amazing.
So it was a fake war after all 😉
Amazing what Russian engineers can do with washing machine chips in their hyper sonic missiles.
And the casualties they cause when their infantry use shovels in frontal, WWI style assaults! 😃
Dude needs a better wig.
5 U.S soldiers were kidnapped and murdered by the top-level Hezbollah commander Ali Musa Daqduq in Karbala in 2007.
He was sent to Iraq by the Iranian regime to help train militias & kill US soldiers.
He was killed today in an Israeli airstrike
https://nitter.poast.org/visegrad24/status/1855688404605730955#m
STOP DISSING THE IDF.
They’re doing work Americans won’t have to do.
Why would Americans have to do it?
Ain’t happening under Trump.
And why does Israel need American, British and French air support to defend against incoming missile attacks?
And BTW, Daqduq was found not guilty and released by an American created and overseen Iraqi court of those charges. Evidence disnt exist.
Conveniently omitted.
All hasbara.
Try harder.
She is booger-eating-moron! Must be too much fluoride in the water in DC.
