Despite our already outlining each of these details the New York Times is now confirming, do not overlook the geopolitical consequences that will surface as a result of their publication.
The New York Times published two articles {HERE and HERE} revealing: 1) that U.S. military boots are on the ground in Ukraine. (2) The U.S. military is actively involved in the ongoing targeting of strikes into Russia. (3) The CIA is operating in Ukraine and conducting targeted strikes into the Russian Federation mainland.
New York Times – […] [F]or nearly three years before Mr. Trump’s return to power, the United States and Ukraine were joined in an extraordinary partnership of intelligence, strategy, planning and technology whose evolution and inner workings have been known only to a small circle of American and allied officials.
[…] The idea behind the partnership was that America’s close cooperation with Ukraine would compensate for Russia’s vast advantages in manpower and weaponry. To guide the Ukrainians as they deployed their ever-more-sophisticated arsenal, the Americans created an operation called Task Force Dragon.
The secret center of the partnership was at the U.S. Army garrison in Wiesbaden, Germany. Each morning, U.S. and Ukrainian military officers set targeting priorities — Russian units, pieces of equipment or infrastructure. American and coalition intelligence officers searched satellite imagery, radio emissions and intercepted communications to find Russian positions. Task Force Dragon then gave the Ukrainians the coordinates so they could shoot at them.
[…] In spring 2022, the Biden administration agreed to send High Mobility Artillery Systems, or HIMARS, which used satellite-guided rockets for strikes up to 50 miles distant.
In the war’s first year, the Ukrainians were extremely dependent on the Americans for intelligence, and Task Force Dragon vetted and oversaw virtually every HIMARS strike. The strikes caused Russian casualty rates to soar.
[…] Easing a prohibition against American boots on Ukrainian ground, Wiesbaden was allowed to put about a dozen military advisers in Kyiv. To avoid drawing public attention to their presence, the Pentagon initially called them “subject matter experts.” Later the team was expanded, to about three dozen, and the military advisers were eventually allowed to travel to Ukrainian command posts closer to the fighting.
[…] In January 2024, U.S. and Ukrainian military officers in Wiesbaden jointly planned a campaign — using coalition-supplied long-range missiles, along with Ukrainian drones — to attack about 100 Russian military targets across Crimea. The campaign, named Operation Lunar Hail, largely succeeded in forcing the Russians to pull equipment, facilities and forces in Crimea back to the Russian mainland.
[…] Ultimately, the U.S. military and C.I.A. were allowed to help with strikes into Russia. […] Longstanding policy barred the C.I.A. from providing intelligence on targets on Russian soil. But the C.I.A. could request “variances,” carve-outs to support strikes for specific objectives. Intelligence had identified a vast munitions depot in Toropets, 290 miles north of the Ukrainian border.
On Sept. 18, 2024, a swarm of drones slammed into the munitions depot. The blast, as powerful as a small earthquake, opened a crater the width of a football field. Later, the C.I.A. was allowed to enable Ukrainian drone strikes in southern Russia to try to slow advances in eastern Ukraine. (more)
As we have outlined for several years, including our own research by driving through Ukraine, the CIA has been operating on the ground in Ukraine from the outset of the conflict. Over time the CIA took over most of the strategic operations, and as it currently stands the United States CIA is organizing the majority of the Ukraine war against Russia.
This is where you need to understand how CIA authorization takes place.
In order for the CIA to operate in Ukraine, Joe Biden had to sign a “presidential finding memo” authorizing the CIA to conduct covert operations. This New York Times article is describing the outcome of those “finding memoranda.”
Which brings me to this Tweet I sent in response to the revelatory article:
Dear President Trump, if this NYT article is accurate (it is), there has to be a “Presidential Finding Memo” authorizing the CIA to coordinate attacks into Russia.
You might want to have CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and DNI Tulsi Gabbard pull it out of the authorization library for your review, prior to the next call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Also, to avoid embarrassment, as your team are likely aware – and possibly willing to admit, that “finding memo” was also briefed to the former Gang of Eight in congress. Which means Secretary of State Marco Rubio as vice-chair of the SSCI and Go8 member, already knew of this CIA operation, authorizing their involvement in targeting Russian Federation territory.
You might want to ask Secretary Rubio about that, and organize a way to discuss it, prior to Rubio coming face to face with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov at the next meeting.
Warmest possible regards, and deepest appreciation for your ongoing “ceasefire” efforts.
Good luck
The motive is clear for the New York Times to outline how the CIA is operating inside Ukraine to target the Russian Federation.
The operatives who leak to the NYT want distance between Trump and Putin. This admission of CIA involvement puts Trump in an awkward place.
The awkwardness expands, when you understand how the CIA is authorized to conduct these operations. The President, Biden, signed a “finding memo,” authorizing the CIA to conduct missile strikes into the Russian Federation.
Senator Marco Rubio as SSCI vice-chair and a Gang of Eight member, was ‘read in’ to that CIA authorization.
Senator Rubio is now Secretary of State facing Sergey Lavrov, and the Russians know exactly how these things are done.
On one hand, the NYT article spills the beans and informs the public. On the other hand, their reason for purposefully spilling the beans is to create a problem for Trump and Rubio, and possibly between Trump and Rubio.
It makes sense now why Secretary of State Rubio was the first Trump official to publicly say the United States was in a proxy war against Russia using Ukraine as the justification.
On the upside, this creates an opportunity for President Trump to distance himself from the prior administration and withdraw all CIA operatives and admitted/revealed U.S. military boots on the ground in Ukraine.
President Trump could use this revelation, now public and widespread, to reset the U.S-Ukraine dynamic and withdraw all elements of prior Biden authorization from the conflict.
Will he?
The CIA targeting was obvious to anyone who closed their eyes and thought about what was really going on. So why was it dumped into the public media space now.
The next question is how much did the CIA control the auto-pen?
And why are they resisting the minerals deal, that seems to provide
a way out of this and a road to peace.
They are resisting the minerals deal because Zelenskyy wants to profit of that and not share with the US. Europe is telling him THEY can enable Ukraine to defeat Russia, and he believes them.
We must wash our hands of this entire mess. And extradite Hillary Clinton if the Russians ask, as a sign of good faith…
No, Zman is rejecting the minerals deal, BECAUSE it seems to provide a way out of this, and a road to peace.
ZMAN just does what his handlers tell him to, and they DO NOT WANT PEACE.
They want Russia broken up into 40+ small States. That Russia is Nationalist, Christian and strong militarily, and energy/resources-wise makes in an inherent, existential threat that must be eliminated as a roadblock to their aspirations of a One World Government.
And no, we must not “wash our hands”; this war against Putins Russia is a War against Nationalism, and so against US, and Putin is just standing in their way.
ZMan is doing everything he is told to do.
All roads lead to the NWO jackals.
Wish I could give this 50,000 likes!
They also want to destroy Russia like they are destroying their own countries. As they sink, they do not want Russia to bloom. I know this is the nationalism you mentioned, but I think there is some petty jealousy in there too.
LOL. I wish but Putin is too smart for that. No way he wants Cankles.
Correct, IMHO. Zelensky already sold Ukraine to Europe.
The British had already sealed the deal on the Ukrainian minerals.
Starmer and Zelensky played Trump for a fool.
President Trump needs to order the assassination of both of them.
Time to topple the Crown.
Putin reportedly has evidence of Diana’s murder contracted by Prince Charles and approved by his mum, the Queen.
“They must’ve greased the brakes.”
Time to grease the Windsors.
Zbag is reading a script
Z already signed a deal with UK re minerals.
Z is famous for making deals and breaking them.
Why was it held until now?
Classic Hegelian dialect Never let a crisis go to waste . Let’s create yet another problem ,another quiver to fire at Trump. Keep it under wraps until maximum damage to his administration can occur.
So is the Signal gate operation.
So is the Judicial coup.The lawfare since the raid on MaraLago? The baton has now been handed off to the judiciary.
My question now is who knew what and when did they know it ?
Rubio, what color hat?
Waltz ?
How does The minerals deal provide a road to peace ??
Its absolutely disgusting.
Lending money to Ukraine to prolong a war so more young Ukrainians can die is a great idea as long as the USA gets mineral rights ??
there is also slight problem with the Russians sitting on 40% of Ukraines minerals, assuming that’s going to increase as they take more land .
And that wee little nagging concern that Z Man might have signed those rights away to non-existent, or not economically viable for mining, rare earth minerals.
True but isn’t it interesting the Putin, in some of his public speaking, ID’d “NATO” involvement rather than US CIA involvement. Perhaps now that this article has been published, he will begin a direct negotiation with Trump and COMPLETELY ignoring Z.
This is definitely getting interesting.
SD, what do think the odds are that President Trump was already aware and in possession of said, “Finding Memo”? If he were, and his awareness of it was leaked, then the NYT covering the CIA involvement would solely be to drive a wedge between his cabinet members (specifically Rubio). The rest was gonna come out anyway, and this way NYT could grab the narrative steering wheel…
It’d be extra delicious if President Trump had also dropped a hint to President Putin as an olive branch to shore up future above-board negotiations.
On the other hand, if he wasn’t, then Rubio failed to pay the President his total allegiance by tipping him off. In this scenario I don’t see Rubio lasting much longer as a result of a breach of trust.
I want Rubio to stick around to deal with Venezuela and Cuba. He likely is the best man to deal with Latin American affairs, and especially the communists.
Maybe he can organize some more foam parties like in his college days.
Rubio has been a deception from the beginning, even lying about who he was politically in his first campaign. As part of the Gang of Eight, he owed it to President Trump to make him aware of the finding he was read in on. He is a only out for himself, and only appears to be a good ambassador because he can speak Spanish with the Latin American countries.
Was classified information leaked? And published?
Was this “finding memo” another one of those documents signed by auto-pen?
This situation is a disgrace, made more so because of the fact that the then-President was non compos mentis for his entire term. This means the USA has been led to the brink of WWIII by person or persons unknown.
…aided and abetted by the press.
Press = a bunch of journalism majors from communist colleges.
A lot of these media people – like Shannon Bream – actually have law degrees.
And Laura Ingraham
A bunch of communist majors from journalism colleges
“Person or persons unknown.”
A haunting phrase attached to many events troubling events.
With the initials F. B. I.
The plot against Russia started when Clinton was president and – really – at the tail end of Bush the Elder’s reign. President Trump should immediately cut off Ukraine entirely – money, arms, intel, satellite data.
The names are known.
Susan Rice. Samantha Power. Jake Sullivan. Victoria Nuland. Valerie Jarrett.
And, Barack Hussein Obama.
There were others in the cabal. All fellow travelers. No one had to order anyone to do anything. They are/were all of like mind.
From the above-named cabal to the lowest .GOV employees embedded in the Federal workforce by Obama and Biden.
Along with many leftist judges.
And unfortunately Jake Sullivan’s wife is a representative from NH. A carpetbagging swamp rat.
Do not forget their spouses and BHO’s house mate is VJ. Iranian toe rag.
It seems many people are confused about the timing of all this.
This article is claiming the CIA only got involved around the time of Ukraine’s bombing of the Crimean bridge. That was 2023.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Crimean_Bridge_explosion#:~:text=2023%20Crimean%20Bridge%20explosion%20was,two%20civilians%20and%20injured%20one.
If you’ll remember, Biden refused to let Trump get any more briefings in 2021, so Trump wouldn’t have known of any of this until he became POTUS February 2025.
Even if candidate Trump was getting briefings, no guarantee he would have been told about this.
Notice Trump didn’t pull former CIA director William Burn’s security clearance.
He was at the Helm during Biden’s term.
Ask Victoria Nuland. She may have a diary.
WSB is paying attention to who is really pulling the strings…. The CIA is just her tool.
Victoria Nuland, Samantha Power and Jeb Boasberg – just three examples of people who seem to want to put their “stamp” on things –
not that there is anything wrong with keeping a diary! 🙂
It’s just that with some people, it’s interesting to compare the notations in the diary with actual events.
Also, letters – very interesting – you look at someone like George H. W. Bush who maintained a correspondence with his mother, Dorothy Walker Bush from the time he went off to boarding school/prep school and they both kept all those letters for posterity, which seems quite amazing when you think of a young kid dutifully keeping track of all that, through prep school, college, the war, etc.
Yet we know long before that CIA biolabs were present in Ukraine.
The CIA/State Dept organized and incited the Feb. 2014 insurrection in Ukraine – the “EuroMaidan”. Victoria Nuland was one of the principle State Dept.(CIA) agents who worked in-country to get that underway.
Wikipedia is grossly biased against the U.S. center/ right, while their editors exhibit strong bias favoring the Globalist Left. All of their political information pages are virtually useless for accurate fact-finding. Wikipedia should NEVER be used to learn factual history about anything remotely political. Consequently you will be regarded with more credibility if you find more reliably honest sources to quote here in CTH. Regular readers of this blogsite are, on average, much better informed than the general population.
Wikipedia is NOT a source…
Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive
If there are currently US boots on the ground in Ukraine, ESPECIALLY if they are engaged in targeting Russia, and if there are CIA assets working against Russia, heads need to roll. Unless Trump knows about it and continued the authorization, in which HE has some ‘splainin to do, but I doubt he did. Whoever at the top didn’t know, everybody underneath them who did need to be fired. THIS IS MESSING WITH A NUCLEAR WWIII, which is to say, a nuclear holocaust. HEADS MUST ROLL!
Yep add it to the heads must roll and arrest must happen list.
Agree. We have repeatedly heard the words , ‘no boots on the ground.’
Must be wearing sneakers.
Sundance has been ahead of this since early on and if Sundance knows, so does Putin and a whole lot of others who allow the pretending to go on.
But we have all known there were US boots on the ground there for a long time just as Sundance’s photo above shows. And if US troops were there so was the CIA. I thought this was common knowledge. I hope this is the time that President Trump will pull everyone out of there and stop all assistance.
NYT wants a real war-enough of this finding stuff-they love the Bolsheviks and anything that reminds them of Orthodox, Imperial Russia makes them see red.
Bingo!
The CIA has six ways to Sunday to stop Peace. We remember JFK.
time will tell … IMHO he knows a lot and he’s not using his power.
DOGE/Elon Musk is visiting Ratcliffe at the CIA today to find out where all the bodies are buried. That’s the reason why the NYT article came out yesterday, to whitewash America’s role in all of this.
LOL… cuz the CIA keep records of where they bury the bodies? I guess they can look up on the Agency phone list for the Dept of Buried Bodies.
Nearly fifty years ago the NYT deliberatedly sought to deceive its readers when it reported that Black Guerrillas murdered unarmed white missionaries working among black people in Rhodesia. It refused to call them terrorists.
Shades of Walter Duranty.
Russian citizens who lost their sons and daughters will demand retribution. There will be payback.
“,….whose inner workings have only been known to a small group,…” and anyone over age 5, with a pulse.
“,…the idea,..was that Americas close dco-operation,…would compensate for Russias vast advantages,…”Yeag, THAT didn’t work.
In a sense this is a good thing, since one goal of the Presidents (Putin AND Trump) is to stop the pretending.
Both knew of U.S. involvement, EVERYBODY knew, and yet there was this constant drumbeat of PRETENDING that it was all about helping plucky little Ukraine, to stand up to unprovoked Russia bully.
Will the NYT’s be as eager to carry a front page, above the fold story, reviewing the history and so revealing that Russia WAS provoked, and it was the U.S. (thru USAID/CIA) that did the provoking?
I knew it. Rubio. Former co-chair of the SSCI, and protector of Mark Warner. Casually forget to inform PDJT of this finding memo? And, Ratcliffe, wouldn’t he have reviewed these? And his NSA, the dumb ass Waltz, why wouldn’t he know about this (these?) memos. The President is not faultless nor his Chief of Staff. This is something that should have surfaced during the transition. DS: 2 (Waltz and this memo), Trump: 0
If this is a “first heard” for President Trump, Rubio should be fired with prejudice.
Someone mentioned autopen. Maybe that’s why Trump has made a big deal about it….the pardons. I’m sure he knew. The pardon autopens were just his public telling them all that he knew. If autopen, it kinda bypasses Biden. It’s one thing for others to autopen sign pardons, it’s another if going to war is signed by others.
The NYT wants war with Russia. The Left wants war with Russia. I remember when these entities were the “Better Red than dead” crowd. What has changed? Well, Russia isn’t the USSR now, although a few on the Right seem to think so, which is either ingenuous or venal.
Who exactly is the NYT ?
British Crown
Nest of BOLSHEVIKS/GLOBALISTS/RUSSOPHOBES……
Remember those intel briefings are so “classified” “real McCoy” type stuff. Russia big bad and all that.Stuff us peons can’t know. And our “elected” believe them cause FBI and CIA are so trustworthy. Idiots all.
Trump needed all of us to see the depth and breadth of Deep State subterfuge that existentially undermines our Republic, he absolutely must have the collective will of the American people to move forward and do what must be done: REMOVE EVERY SCRAP OF BUREAUCRATIC RESISTANCE AND RETURN POWER TO WE-THE-PEO0LE
Alex Christoforou of TheDuran has an interesting take on this NY Times article. He says that the article is running interference for Biden and the Democrats.
The NY Times is suggesting that Ukraine was winning until Ukrainian generals began to disobey US orders, Zelensky went for PR wins instead of US strategy, Biden kept Ukraine in the game until the elections. The article implies that the US under Biden was victorious, IF not for the insubordinate Ukrainian Generals and ego of Zelensky. President Trump will be blamed for the capitulation to Russia.
This is the same delusion that is seen among European NATO members.
“President Trump will be blamed for the capitulation to Russia.”
Anyone who tries this needs to be ridiculed without pause and forever be considered an enemy.
That is an implication in the NY Times article. We know the NY Times is fake news, but there will be an election in 2026 for the Democrats to use whatever against the Trump administration.
Accurate assessment by Alex, imo. I don’t agree with C-As rendition of the events though. The glory days of C-A “winning” are over. Troublemakers, yes. Outright defeating RUS, no.
Love that they call it a “Secret History”!!! Not to those with eyes open and some informed sourcing from our excellent host SD!
For many weeks now, I’ve been saying we need to get everyone out of Ukraine and all equipment and ammo that has not already been sold on the black market out of there. Have Elon cut Starlink. Put a bow on it and hand it to Putin as a parting gift. Shut it ALL down and let the chips fall where they may. If the EU wants to step in let them, but it will not end well for them. Russia is not our enemy and the EU is not our ally.
I agree with the last statement fully. Let the EU go to war with Russia with us on the sidelines watching, eating popcorn and placing bets as to how long or short it becomes.
I am not sure how this changes much of anything in terms of US and RUS relations; surely, none of this is news to RUS. It would be very hard to believe that RUS intelligence would have not already picked up on which entities are responsible for operations in UKR and anybody paying attention to USFP knows that this type of thing has been going on for decades. I suppose that the most damaging part of the article is public admission of US objectives of the conflict in UKR with respect to regime change in RUS and the fact that it wasn’t a proxy war, but in fact a concerted effort, i.e. the US electorate has been lied to on a massive scale and the previous administration and neocons have brought the world very close to a world war for little other reason than to satisfy their fantasies and line their coffers, all of which is indicative of a wildly out of tune political elite.
So, what next? Does the Donald now finally take serious steps to rein in the Executive in the face of horribly failed foreign policy or do Rubio and co. get a pat on the back and all is swept under the rug?
US Russia relations?
The clock is ticking. At some point their forbearance toward us is bound to run out.
Mr. Putin had to have known this, if not by covert intelligence, than by understanding how HIMARS hit targets.
Makes the phone calls between Trump/Putin a step away from what NYT is hoping to accomplish with this article.
2 non-pretenders talking in the middle of a lot of pretending.
He did know it. He discussed it in one of his speeches months ago when the US was contemplating whether to “allow Ukraine” to hit targets deep in Russia.
This is bad. PT should be steaming..not only does it make him look incompetent but also untrustworthy. This deserves harsh action on his part. Blow it all up PT and pull out.
PT probably knew it. I can’t believe he didn’t know it.
Pull out of NATO and the United Nations at the same time when he does. Let the rest of the world know we want no part of pulling EU gonads out of the firestorm (again!) that will engulf them without our help.
All I care about is what was written in the last paragraph. Of course Biden gave cover for CIA to conduct operations in Ukraine against Russia. Now that’s it been aired out and presumably true, how will Trump respond? Also a good reminder of where Rubio comes from, he’s been good these few months, but he still has a lot to make up for with his past endeavors..
@sundance I don’t see 47 doing anything about it unless he wants the six ways from Sunday crew to permanently take him out from the annals of history. There would not be a written or digital record of PDJT ever existing and the Leftists will make it verboten and a crime to ever mention PDJT’s name. I hope I’m wrong and that PDJT does something about this.
I am not to forward thinking sometimes but my first thought is this gives leverage to Trump to perp walk Otto Pen and of Pen’s all his string holders.
This may just be the crack that Trump needs to bring down the hammer of justice.
As long as that hammer isn’t Bimbo Bondi.
Why did the NYT get this story? I thought WaPo was the CIA’s media outlet and NYT was the FBI’s? Was Bezos’ WaPo unwilling to run the story?
Larry Johnson…
New York Times Fantasy Tale of Ukraine’s Almost Great Victory Over Russia
I can summarize the massive story in one sentence — Ukraine would have destroyed the weak, incompetent Russians if only the Ukrainian generals had followed the guidance from the US military.
If you’re looking for a signal that the war in Ukraine is on its last legs, this article is it.
This is a ridiculous attempt to burnish the image of the Pentagon and US European
Command as strategic and tactical geniuses who could have beaten the Russians if
only those damn Ukrainians had followed their advice.
https://sonar21.com/new-york-times-fantasy-tale-of-ukraines-almost-great-victory-over-russia/
Thank you for the link. That is the same conclusion of a lot of the posters on Telegram, of Moon of Alabama, as well as Larry Johnson. They can all see the whitewashing that was being given by the NYTimes.
Great link.
The NY Times, doing what the NY Times does: Dissemble, distract and fling pooh.
Like chimps in a zoo…..
Seems to me the United States has a barely functioning Constitution, a completely corrupted and thieving government and a SECRET war-mongering IC and sniveling good for nothing MSM who encourages all this! HOWEVER, we citizens and taxpayers are the very last to know, WHAT THE WHOLE WORLD HAS BEEN TRYING TO TELL US FOR A LONG TIME!
Time to change direction and change leaders TODAY and not tomorrow! We NEED blood remedies!
Trump needs to use this to set himself apart from prior admin
The Senate is in quorum call right now to vote on Matt Whitaker’s confirmation as our permanent representative on the NATO council.
Maybe the story is coming out now since we are about to have major issues with NATO.
yup
We have been discussing for many weeks, since the beginning of Trump’s settlement efforts, that his biggest antagonist — no, his biggest enemy — would be the CIA (in bed with the US deep state, the WEF, and European globalists).
Oh how true it rings.
It’s now D-Day. Today.
Trump has two choices: Either tell America the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, or make this HIS war against Russia.
I pray that God will guide his decision.
If not, prepare for Wiesbaden to be obliterated.
Why would anybody obliterate Wiesbaden? The Russians have known about it for a long, long time. They know that if they flatten Wiesbaden, the US just would have set up another place for its intelligence operatives. They also know that an attack on a NATO country or a NATO base would trigger Article 5 that would have brought in all of NATO in defense of Ukraine.
I guess we are going to find out if Ratcliffe is MAGA or RINO very soon.
As PT should be pissed as heck that Rubio and Ratcliffe never told him about the “finding memo” operation.
One would think PT would order Ratcliffe to nix everything in Ukraine and let’s see if Ratcliffe is MAGA or just a Rat.
PT sure has a way about exposing people for who they really are.
Mr Ratcliffe held documents from being released after our president told him to release them. I see him as part of the problem.
Does this mean actual Army soldiers are in Ukraine? Or, does CIA have their own soldier force?
If Army, would Hegseth be aware of this? Or, is this another thing they are going to blame Pete for and say he should have known his soldiers were over there? So, of course, he should resign /sarc.
They have quasi see eye a contractors. Usually funded through USAID and State. Have a friend who did a stint there. Very short stint. Got out of there cause it was such a cluster.
Surely, PDJT knew the C-A was on the ground in UKR. We all knew. He’s not so naive to think C-A sat this war out. Not after 2014…Surely, not one thinks Putin didn’t know this also.
So, if above is remotely true, and I think it is, how might PDJT-Putin have tip-toed around this issue to resolve it in anticipation of the ceasefire?
I don’t see how this is remotely a surprise to PDJT or Putin.
Thoughts?
“Will He?”
Let’s hope he will.
I never understood why Trump chose Rubio for anything, let alone Secretary of State. After all the little marco rubio comments from term 1 debates, etc…made me think it really is just a dog and pony show. I question quite a few of Trumps choices in this 2nd term. Theres a very small part of me that hopes Trump knew much of what we see and people will be removed at some point, Rubio being one of them after Trump exposes him and others for the frauds they are…but its a very small part…mostly, i leave it to God because in the end, He wins. There isnt going to be any arrests, accountability, etc…for the theft of tax dollars or anything else. No one is going to jail & if the Rs lose in WI tomorrow, this term comes to a halt, and Trump loses the house, which is why there hasnt been any movement of the MAGA agenda, just words. About jobs, where are they? My son has been looking for 3 yrs, no one wants to hire a conservative man who is straight. I feel like we’ve been played again…
They are trying to pull President Putin into a retaliation against the USA – he is cool as a cucumber and that is driving these crazy war-mongers even madder!
Trump needs to recend the biden memo like yesterday.
Are Presidential finding memos of the past something that Trump would not know about?
If so how many more of finding memos are active?
If every one of the active or recinded finding memos are not available for Trump to know about then how could he be in control in the office of the president?
You get my point.
This ain’t sneeking up on him.
Andrei’s take, he’s been saying this all along.
https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/
Rubio is a pick I certainly have never understood.
As for all this warmongering – not in my name.
Got him out of the senate, saved FL, he can be fired now.
Some decisions are made in order to continue breathing.
PDJT and Putin are like: “No S#@$, Sherlock”
Nothing against Sundance, but if Sundance knew this then Russia knew this the whole time.
The paradigm I make the following statement through is that Russia knew the whole time:
Assuming Russia knew is true, then doesn’t that show extreme constraint on part of Putin?? Putin knew the adults weren’t in charge. I think Putin truly wants to avoid WWIII because the only winners in a WWIII scenario are those that want to control humanity through emergency powers: see Zelinksy, the de facto dictator of Ukraine because of an “emergency”.
I think despite the CIA, Trump and Putin will bring peace and extreme economic opportunity. Imagine the opportunities the emerging North Korean market could bring. All it would take is Putin and Xi to make it possible. A stretch, but I think within the realm if Trump can break the CIA chains.
milley’s pardon is no good, time to arrest him and try him for treason and then hang him….traitor commie nazi fascist POS dickhead….
Now the world will come to understand the “Independent Agency” that is the CIA.
Will Rubio take any ownership? Will Ratcliff admit he isn’t the CIA director? WHO IS RUNNING THE CIA?!
The CIA is running the CIA good friend. And Victoria Nuland is “running the CIA” op in Ukraine.
I digress to 2016 … Barack Obama proudly announced that he would be running a shadow cabinet in DC in parallel with and to counter President Trump. Obama even used his participation in the EU security Summit in December 2016 as well as Biden’s participation in a similar Asian Summit to solicit customers, lay out plans and make connections. They actually did it in plain sight and even gave PUBLIC interviews attacking President Trump.
Said shadow cabinet was well funded, well connected and had links INTO the US INTEL Community, MI-6 and 5-Eyes. Recall, there were NATO Classified documents found on Hilary’s server as well as links into NATO HQ.
This same group was HIRED by none other than: the EU Iran, North Korea and China Inc. .. among others … under the pretext of being advisors to their clients “on how to deal with President Trump”.
Geee … just last week Tim Walz bragged about the democrats setting up a “Shadow Government”.
Until fully broken … the CIA, inside and outside the US Government, is running the CIA as operatives for the Global Corporation. same folks who employ many members of Congress.
That Presidential Finding Memo (PFM) sure would be interesting to read. The is a history of the INTEL Community briefing one thing but doing something completely different, or tailoring their products for the audience … no two stories being alike. Could be there are multiple versions of the PFM.
The US Military assets used by the CIA … were likely Tasked based upon a request by the CIA to DoD. So, besides a Presidential Finding Memo there exists:
A request to the DoD.
A DoD “Staff and possibly Case Study” on the Request, to include approval routing.
A Preliminary OP Plan exists used to support decision briefings as well as to prepare the final orders.
Orders cut by DoD assigning US Military personnel and assets.
The US Military does nothing without an Operations Order being issued, that details everything about the conduct of the operation, full task organization, command relationships, logistics, et al.
Hmmm … maybe Secretary Hegseth can do some digging .. or … he already did do the digging and this is why Signal Gate occurred to get him canned.
I don’t know about you, but since the CIA’s route via USAID around the requirement for Presidential Findings for permission for covert actions has been temporarily dissolved, at least until another EO resurrects it or a functional equivalent, I trust the CIA which can fund itself to an unknown degree through In-Q-Tel to never do anything without Trump’s approval.
I don’t know why, but I believe, just like RFK Jr., that they are a very trustworthy organization.
What? You trust the CIA? sarc?
LOL, I though by putting RFK Jr. in there it would be obvious.
That is sick, Winston!
Naughty! 😉
You can trust the CIA….to always do the wrong thing and then lie about it.
9/11 – blowback from their activities in Afghanistan.
COVID pandemic – blowback from USAID (CIA) funding of the Wuhan lab via EcoHealth Alliance with the lab origin of the virus therefore covered up in the West which the PLA/CCP counted on.

Where is that guy these days?
He’s back at the Imperial College of London.
The governments of the world are making war on the People of the world. Nothing exposes this more than the Wuhan Lab, Peter Dazak, and Tony Fauci with their Chinese counterparts.
The clowns are always clowning. It’s not funny any more. End the show.

“You Can Trust The Communists” –
that was the actual title of a book my parents had on the bookshelf in the den – I used it for a book report – catchy title!
We’re still living with the results of the coup they ran in Persia in 1954, to depose Mohammed Mossadegh from power. No coup, no Khomeini. And look at what we have now in Iran.
go back to sleep..Kennedy was killed for wanting to dissolved he CIA…And Trump was targeted at least twice for death by this sneaky organization..look up Operation Northwoods..they are vicious predators..
Do you also believe Bill & Hillary Clinton are honest, upstanding & forthright people? Think again…

Are you kidding??
I repeat a prior post:
*Liberation Day tariffs on EU will cause economic problems, making their full $$ support of UKR not realistic
*withhold $$ and military arms to UKR
*USAID is closed/no money for any C-A / UKR or DS tasks
*sadly, I believe it is time for RUS to level Kiev including all military residences to eliminate all military generals inc the fake-Z
All 4 fronts need to be taken down asap. It will burst EU-Z/UKR-C-A/DS bubbles, simultaneously.
Sadly, I agree.
To Putin’s credit, he has done all he can to leave the Ukrainian infrastructure which supports its population alone and intact.
How much longer…
Dark days with darker to come unless President Trump can find his way through or around the forces which seek to bring us to WWIII.
And yes, I believe that is their intent.
God, please guide him with Your wisdom.
Yes, Kiev is very ancient and historical. Truly the motherland. I can’t see Putin taking it down, but sadly it might be necessary, but God…
Maniac I agree. PDJT has many cards to play still. Popcorn please, it’s getting more interesting but dangerous by the day. 🙏🏽
I can’t either. He has been strategic.
Watching the madness emanating from Western Globalists and their lunatic efforts, now escalated, I would be looking for a false flag event intended to give them the excuse to proceed with their terrible agenda.
At this point, given President Putin’s restraint, I am in fact expecting it.
That is my concern also.
False Flag.
President Putin has been in my prayers 🙏🙏
since the conflict began.
I pray this as well, Betsy. It is so obvious now as they no longer hide their intentions.
Strong delusions and reprobate minds, sis.
Come the day these “elites” start conscription for their bloody war, I wonder who of their individual nations will obey, and how many will refuse.
Every man I hope.
Europe retirns to the 30s.
A worthy read

Altho I don’t always agree with him, Alex is one of the best geopolitical analysts out there, and seems to have a good and honest heart.
That is an understatement. Putin is an IC veteran. He probably always “kinda knew.” His restraint is amazing.
I heard this story about a cold war incident where the Soviets made a judgement call after they detected missile launches. Someone over there did not launch the counter strike. I don’t know if it was really true or not, but I do know that governments are not people. And most people are just people unless they are power seeking maniacs or brainwashed indoctrinated idiots.
I look at these people and their actions, Daniel. Their plotting and planning. And the destruction, upheaval and deaths they cause and know they cause. Whereupon they all sleep peacefully on their beds I assume.
Those who do these things already have power and wealth. How much more do they want? And why?
Even during the worst times, historically that is, the ones with pathological leanings and machinations were more than counter balanced with sane people who stopped them. There seem to be fewer and fewer of the latter these days and more of the former.
And I am at a loss to understand what has changed, because something has.
satan flexing his muscles is all I can come up with…which I believe accounts for a lot of the madness that appears to have captured so many.
Indoctrinated communists are personally afraid to die but they believe in the collective. A loss of life of their own is an injury but not a tragedy. And loss of life of those not aligned with then is a victory.
Having wealth or power isn’t enough because it doesn’t fill what’s missing. The indoctrinated are taught they feel something is missing because the “they” took it from them or prevented them from getting it because of their “-isms.”
The something that changed is a combination of cultural saturation and because this is their final push. They use their money and the government’s [our] money to pay big corporations to destroy themselves with their agenda. They use their money and [our] money to control and direct the media to destroy themselves with their agenda.
They ultimately want the US in a global war where it is expected to lose. And whoever wins will replace the US constitution and even rename the country and the states within the union.
Satan works by rewarding their evil with dopamine. (Remember that weird evil grin on Strzok? He was getting his reward in that moment)
So simple…and I think you’re correct. Wealth and power don’t fill the hole. If only they had more of both.
Yes…..
May our President find
The wisdom
The courage
The will
To do what needs
Be done
I’ve said this for sometime. Let Putin mop the floor with Ukraine and the CIA
If Putin wants to mop the floor with the CIA, we’ll throw in the FBI and corrupted judicial system too.
Gut the top of the top of the Global Derp State and all these schemes end, here and there.
Topple the Crown
Free the World
Transfer the FBI to the CIA, put them in uniforms and let THEM fight the way they want. Leave the rest of the world out of it.
That’s a lot of initials and acronyms. UKR-C-A?
Or convince Z to surrender. He is a puppet. Maybe he only needs to think it’s safe to defy his masters.
I’m going to say No…
