The Russian failure proves yet again Big Tech censorship is counterproductive and useless. Too bad mRNA vaccine fanatics can't see the problem is their product, not "misinformation."
Just saw that 70% of all Covid deaths in Canada are among the fully vaxed. 90% of all deaths have had at least one shot. Is this actually Covid or are we starting to see something else?
On Covid you get it. On Ukraine you sound like the worst Covidian (zero understanding of the cultural and ethnic divide between East and west Ukraine, zero understanding of the current borders, zero understanding of what lead up to this conflict). Please either stick to what you actually know, or learn about that which you clearly do not.
That you think American public opinion polls are what matter is the biggest clue you really don’t get it.......
I think polls have their place of course, but I agree with you re: Ukraine. It seems pretty darn obvious that US & NATO meddling is all over the place.
Nigel Farage (?) warned against "playing war games in Ukraine" in 2014. The corruption over there matters.
Didn't both Putin & Zelensky agree to a popular vote to decide territories but the US a& NATO said no?
All I know is, if China or Russia were talking about putting missiles in Mexico and including them in a military alliance targeted at the US, the US would be doing the exact same thing, just as it did during the Cuban missile crisis. So it insults the intelligence to paint this in simplistic terms and claim that the Ukrainians are the gOoD GuYS and the Russians are the BaD gUYs like this was some kind of Marvel movie. Like basically all geopolitical matters, this is a question of perspective and interests.
That’s a huge part. So is the fact that Eastern Ukraine is ethnically Russian, where ethnically Russian/ Slov separatists have been in a civil war with Ukrainian neonazi brigades, largely Germanic by ethnicity, since 2014. Zelensky escalated the situation and alienated Ukraine’s economic hub in the east when he outlawed the Russian language and locked up the pro-Russisb political opposition.
I am anti-war. That is not pro-Putin. I am pro stay the hell out of it. The ONLY national security interest we have in Ukraine is peace, but the neocons in charge right now are ensuring that won’t happen. We aren’t even trying - we are instead doing what we also did in Syria - which is lots more death and lots more human suffering. This time with a higher possibility of stumbling in WW III. There was no point to WW I. This is the same thing. After all the bloodshed no one will understand why it ever happened. As far as the neocons, of both political parties, These are the same people who got us into the disasters in Afghanistan and Iraq and the outcome is the same - a lot of death and animosity on all sides. Sad.
That was a very salient and eloquent summary of my sentiments. TY NCmom. The regular, poor, just-surviving folks are always on the short end of these political sticks. Like pawns on a chessboard.
You're wrong about the Russian propaganda that Zelensky "outlawed the Russian language." That's a ridiculous canard and shows how people will just get suckered. Ukraine made the national language of government Ukrainian. There is no Russian language ban.
I've been there and it's sad how little is known here.
Thank you for explaining this unwanted war in such simple terms. I have yet to figure out why no one seems to be interested in STOPPING the killing and suffering. God help us all.
You're just making things up Eastern Ukraine wasn't in some civil war mode of its own volition. Putin sent in operatives from Moscow and followed with his Little Green Men army. There are no neonate brigades, nor German. Azov Regiment is made up fo people from across the country. They are hard men and some are "right-wing" with an abiding hatred for communism and the destruction they and their families underwent.
You claim Zelensky escalated "the situation." That's Putin propaganda. The entire conflict was orchestrated from Moscow.
You also claim Zelensky "outlawed the Russian language" which I saw someone else here also propagate that stupid law.
If you're so anti-war, then why aren't you against the Putin invasion in eastern Ukraine? But you're not as that went on for eight years and it united all of Ukraine for the Russian invasion.
That is undeniable now. No amount of lying will change the valiant fight for freedom by the people of Ukraine.
agree fully. also, that good v evil narrative overlooks the bigger implications of a possible broader agenda with China & WEF Great Reset stuff. I don't know what the truth is, but useful idiot aint it.
I'm still looking at the video of Biden admitting on stage that he used extortion to impede a Ukrainian investigation in to Hunter's oil company during his stint as VP. Clearly the first signs of his dementia was admitting that publicly.
The Biden Crime Family made millions extorting Ukraine, was handed about $4 million from a Putin-connected oligarch from Moscow and tens of millions from ChiCom intel-connected firms.
Biden and his Obama handlers gave the green light for Putin to invade Ukraine.
This is all simple fact. Peter Schweizer has a book out on it.
I keep pointing that out to people and asking what they think the US would do if Russia were doing this in Mexico. They all ignore the question. Their silence tells me everything I need to know. False moral superiority is not real moral superiority.
We also have historical records going back to the fall of the USSR with promises to Russia not to expand NATO. Germany got Georgia invaded in 2008 because German leaders spent 2007 pontificating about Georgia and Ukraine joining NATO.
Then Ukraine amended its constitution to seek entry to NATO under Zelensky, though it was unlikely to ever happen, Brandon spent the end of 2021 elevating Ukraine with US backing to join NATO, and within 48 hours of Kamala Harris pontificating about admiring Ukraine joining this entirely predictable and completely preventable invasion began.
I don’t support the invasion. I also don’t support funding personally more weapons of death and the neocons pushing for war rather than calling for peace.
The majority of people taking the stance Alex did in this article spent all their time and energy focused on Covid Covid Covid Covid until at least February of 2022. The entirety of their understanding is based on predictable fog of war propoganda that has been everywhere since that time.
Posting articles from around the world pre-dating 2022 doesn’t seem to make them stop and consider other perspectives at all. Instead they swear articles from the LA Times in 2018 are “Russian Propoganda” or letters in the historical records to Clinton from 1997 the same, even though they pre-date Putin. Never ask them to go back to the late 1980’s and early 1990’s because that’s like pre-historic to them (even though in my lifetime and I’m only 39). 😩
The horsey ass insisting I’m promoting Russian propoganda also thinks there hasn’t been a war in Europe “in decades.” 🙄. Talk about stupid. I’ve got friends from Bosnia. They beg to differ.
Problem is people want to push their idea of NATO is the problem because they hear that even though Putin has been clear about seeking Empire long before a single Soviet bloc nation was admitted into NATO.
NATO is a defensive alliance. They don't go invading other countries.
Unfortunately, people are looking for any reason to avoid even looking at the fact that the largest country in Europe (Russia) invaded the second largest country in Europe (Ukraine) and the Putin playbook calls for more not less.
It's the end of the mirage that brute force empire is merely so 20th century. People having a problem with that from Farage to a whole lot of people in the US.
Problem with people who know nothing about Eastern Europe is they get in these comments and try to simplify complex and nuanced situations they don’t really understand, that have been building for years and decades, with ethnic and cultural implications going back centuries, down to bumper sticker statements based on semantics, not reality.
People were writing Clinton letters to stop this long before Putin was in charge in Russia. To claim “NATO is a definitive” alliance begs the question - then why the hell would it want a bunch of Eastern European countries that pose no threat to us or our Western European to be members?
Here is a letter to Clinton from 1997 from Military generals, senators, academics and others. You probably need to start there and get through 2021 before you start regurgitating war propaganda. You don’t know what you are talking about.
Russia has been very vocal about NATO becoming a sword aimed at them for decades, rightfully so.
Why would Eastern European countries want to be part of NATO?
Oh about seven decades of Soviet tyranny, oppression and tens of millions murdered under communist oppression.
You probably need to start there and with the concept of national sovereignty. Russia can complain all it wants because Russia always says it's the victim, no matter who they victimize.
But you buy that bill of goods and ignore 300 hundred years of Russia imperialism and Russification.
Fuck Putin and Fuck Russia imperialism. Slava Ukraini & the Reagan Doctrine, forever!
You can have a problem with both. I do! But the comment I was replying to claimed this had nothing to do with NATO. It did and does. Zelensky did most of the antagonizing, but part of that was amending the constitution to join NATO. Putin was probably always going to address Donbas, but he only amassed these troops after Biden started calling for Ukraine to join NATO. If we actually cared about the Ukrainians, we’d be demanding peace and fighting for that.
Have you read his book? It's pretty superficial tbh. I was expecting a much deeper dive.
Conversely I was expecting RFK's book to be tame, but it was exceedingly well researched and had new information for even the most seasoned covid dissident.
If you ask me, Berenson gives way too much credibility to legacy media and government institutions and seems unwilling to consider the evidence undermining the big important axioms underlying the system that inflicted covid containment tyranny on us. Given how prominent he is among covid dissidents it surprised me how much MSM talking points (poorly sourced IMO) he took at face value vs how much of the counternarrative (some of which is backed by mountains of evidence) he dismisses out of hand or fails to mention. In his covid book that is (although I haven't finished it yet).
I mean, the guy wrote novels about terrorists using bioweapons didn't he? I'm not saying his work isn't worth reading, but frankly I think dissidents give him too much cred.
His coverage on Ukraine is just straight up weird. I want to engage with the "other side" on this, I really do - but they seem to be totally ignorant of so much and yet still take this dismissive tone as though it's the rest of us that are just "falling for Putin's propaganda". Newsflash - many of us have been following this since long before the invasion...
I preferred RFK’s book - mostly because I like studies and data I can check - but I think from the perspective of a journalist that Alex’s book is an important part of the Covid story.
He’s not a statistician and that shows. I also am no more likely to take medical advice from a journalist than I am a politician (I had very mild Covid and took the human version of horse dewormer).
Still, I do appreciate his voice for Covid.
He could be a powerful voice for other things, but Alex seems to think the people who lied about Covid (and Russiagate, Kavanaugh, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Lybia) are somehow telling the truth on Ukrain-Russia.
And yeah, I’m also surprised how few people suddenly sporting Ukrainian flags have any clue what they are talking about. I am very interested in environmental conservation (please never confuse me with an idiot climate alarmist). Anywho, I’ve followed Chernobyl because the wildlife has been thriving there, but the whole civil war gets into every bit of coverage for years. My dad is also a living encyclopedia of human history so I can get lots of answers/ sources/ understanding from someone who has forgotten more than I will ever know.
Exactly, NCmom. They've lied and lied and lied. Why would anyone believe the war fairy tale that promises to give them what they want--the Green New Deal + a distraction from the COVID disaster? It doesn't take a foreign policy genius to at least suspect our gov't of lying about Ukraine/Russia.
You know what I'm getting further in the book now and I regret making this comment. Berenson's work has been influential and important, I have no doubt he comes from a place of good faith, and he's doing way more than I ever could for the good of mankind.
If youre reading this by chance Berenson, I apologize for my attitude in that comment. I'm just some dude online, gone half crazy by many of the things that have happened to and around me in my (to this day) deeply covidian city. Not really an excuse, but yeah. The book's good, definitely something I'll continue to recommend to my normie friends and family. Not everybody is prepared to be thrown into the deep end of just how malicious and (frankly) evil the covid containment regime, and the institutions that perpetuate it, actually are.
I have struggled with the same perceptions you did, but then I was reminded that most of my sane friends were too uninterested to look at even the state data charts. They’d only look at the screen shots I texted - not the links - only the screenshots of the charts. They can read Pandemia. RFK wouldn’t interest them unless it’s a cliff notes version.
Alex’s NYT roots are coming out in his coverage of anything not the medical industry, which is very disappointing, but Matt Taibbi is the same for finance. The dude does not understand economics nor the actual roles of people in that world. I still appreciate Woke Inc and his insights into media manipulation. Similar for Glen Greenwald. The entirety of Reason Magazine can have some just way off stuff unrealistic ideological stuff, and some important insightful stuff. Unherd is another publication in that arena.
The only publication I read with regularity that isn’t off, misguided, or prone to ideological propaganda at least some of the time is Tax Foundation, which is by far the best publication for everything taxes, but they also stay in their lane. Ever heard an account try to analyze marketing or trademark names? It ain’t pretty. We don’t get it.
Plus, you gave RFK some much deserved credit. He interviewed Alex and there were some funny low blows going both directions.
Props for reconsidering your thoughts. No better way to encourage all of us to do that than to own it.
Right. Like the Nuland/CIA backed Ukraine coup in 2014:
Nuland: “Fuck the E.U.” and “Yats is the guy”.
Then Nuland disappeared during the Trump presidency and was put right back into The State Department when Biden was sworn in. She and her husband, Robert Kagan, are no-good very bad people. Add to this Rice, Sullivan and Blinken being “in charge”.
Dont forget Soros is even behind this new Jackson supreme court pick. Jackson is not only into full term abortion she lets pedophiles roam free. And with Uncle Joey Biden seeing him in Poland making a fool of himself and this country you would think someone in his family would say let's go home Uncle Joey it is all over now. But they let him continue making a fool out of our country and we have 1,000 more days of the downward spiral. And the elite media does not pick up on this fool. He goes to eat with our troops the commander and chief is supposed to eat last not first. Biden is a clueless moron buffon with more that 50 years of abusing hard drugs and alchol.
The big difference between RFK Junior is that was basically like a Junior professor aids story. Berenson book is all coming from a Critical care doctor Pulmonologist the only MD who diagnose and treat Covid patients. Berenson has 4 More Years of college to be in this position. You have Fairytales and Team reality.
Because it's all about the money. Ain't a damn thing funny. You gotta milk a sport star in this land of Milk and Honey. Sports players are Exempt in NYC as of today. Sadly, this does not extend to cops, fire-fighters, nurses and doctors. Because it's a health issue....yes? It all boils down to a) control, and b) revenue. Nobody explains it better than Eric Adams, although he didn't mean to.
👍 thank you! I was getting tired of trying to wake these people up! If you want to read some good posts from a very knowledgeable historian and economist look up ArmstrongEconomics.com
Martin is probably the smartest guy geo politically. Flat out Putin has never once said he wants to occupy or destroy Ukraine, NATO and the West just need to stop advancing (Begrade Agreement) and allow the DonBass their vote for sovereignty (Minsk Agreement) and this is all over. Period! Useful Idiots?!? 🙄
What’s the deal with Armstrong paying $80 million in restitution For securities fraud? Should I just look for stuff Martin authored? I’s Armstrong one of those smart people doing something really dumb for greed?
I must say, it’s interesting though. We had a long drive to dinner tonight.
I certainly use neocon in the same way Armstrong does.
My definition too is a Pro-foreign interventionist. It has nothing to do with traditional conservative values or a free market economy. It’s all about interventionism. And it is very much a bi-partisan movement. That’s why they hated Trump. He first instinct was not to make his point with bombs.
I have never looked at how Wikipedia defines it because, well, it’s purely a propaganda website that can’t even get longest animal alive in earth correct. Interesting and might explain why some on this comment thread seem to think I’m bashing Republicans. I’m not. I’m bashing armed interventionists.
That is very kind. Thank you. I do read Jessica (and sometimes re-read with scratch paper to follow 🤦♀️). There are a lot on the Covid front I follow and I go snopping on other people’s profiles to see who other people are reading, which is how I think I found her.
It's particularly sickening when has-been celebrities come out of hiding to suddenly show concern for countries that they never cared about before. "Look at what a caring person I am". Most of them are messed up creeps. Virtue signalling is a disgusting trait. Not necessary to announce that you are involved in certain causes.
Most of them are messed up bought-and-sold parrots. Since when did celebrities have an informed opinion? Only since they went on the payroll of the Machine. You can end up like Marilyn (I knew too much) Monroe, or Jennifer (I only use 3 sheets of TP) Aniston. Or dead or alive.
Funny story - my now husband and I ran this crap apartment complex in grad school. The maintenance man was Blanche Taylor Moore’s son-in-law (she’s the black widow). Whenever her daughter, his wife, would get mad at us for cutting his hours or make him fix stuff during normal hours, Moore’s daughter would bring us banana pudding. 😂. We never ate it.
We knew this way before they went public with the very first mRNA shot Berenson. When they were in the trial stage these vaccines never made the true 50% efficacy that the EUA wanted. We are face a severe recession soon before this fall. Why is the CDC not telling us about the fully vaccinated in the United States nursing homes who have died even with the 3rd mRNA shot from Covid-19?
Not so hard to understand when you put highly synthetic materials into an organic body in such intense ways as experimental gene editing medical injections
Has been this way since the beginning of time. The corrupt and evil hate seeing truth come to light. They will stop at nothing to silence it if they can. This past few years it's just become more overt it seems for certain...
Prof Luc Montagnier (sadly deceased) and Geert vandenBossch (both experts in virology and vaccines) warned months ago about the dangers of mass inoculations during a pandemic.
What % of Canadians are fully vaxxed? Because if it's around 70%, then you'd expect that 70% of the deaths would be fully vaxxed. The more interesting stat is: among the population of fully vaxxed people, what % die - and how does that compare to the population that is not vaxxed.
If the percentage of Canadians that die equal the percentage vaxed that is wonderful proof that this vaccine did jack-squat. They are admitting that it doesn’t stop transmission but it was supposed to stop serious illness and death. Looks like now we are just seeing a normal distribution. Then there’s the negative efficacy against omicron in the UK for people 40 to 70.
How about the people that are Vaxxed and die prematurely. How about the people that develop life threatening illnesses or the acceleration of Cancers or Immunological Disease post Vaxx???? This is Rhetorical Question.
No, you wouldn't expect 70% to die of COVID, IF the vaccine was doing one damn thing to help them. If the vax was working, their % of deaths should be lower than their % of the population, but it's not.
It was on web news report but he pulled it from the Canadian site. There’s also a mainstream article out there that discusses the 70% figure. Finally, Dr John Campbell discussed similar numbers in the UK on his YouTube channel. He’s an excellent unbiased source. All he uses is the UK government’s data.
I've been tracking the Ontario data - and 4 months after the 2nd dose push data between vaxed/unvaxed converged. Every-time they roll out a booster - the vax numbers look a bit better for 1-2 months, and then go back to norm.
There was interesting study by a Russian that administrating OPV boosts stimulates the immune system for about 3 months, and and people that take it in the fall never get Flu or even a cold. Maybe that is all the mRNA is doing.
Totally agree. Now all of a sudden Alex finds the polls, info and statistics put out by the media and big tech correct. Zelensky is one of the more corrupt Klaus Schwab puppets, he was one of the clients of Panama Papers and I believe recently purchased a $35 million home in Florida, among other things. He is just following the Schwab Soros orders in order to enable them to accomplish their 'Reset'........
Why would there be a video when Zelenskyy only became president less than 3 years ago. He's on their site and wasn't notable before this year so there's that.
And re: the Putin thing, he was still a kgb officer and the YGL program hadn't started during the time he would have been eligible.
Apparently he and Klaus only met in like 1992 so either Schwab was going senile in that video or he was bragging, like I originally stated.
At the risk of sounding like some Qanon 5th dimension chess crazy: don't you think it's possible that Putin is fulfilling a NWO geopolitical aim FOR globalist ends?
I mean, he and Xi are allies and the stated landscape is "America is no longer the super power". Just a thought.
UK is bankrupt. Martin Armstrong (ArmstrongEconomics.com, I believe) has a pretty impressive modeling computer. Worth checking him out.
Anyway, I think the G7 elite want a third WW. Great for the business of centralizing power.
Exactly. Putin and Xi are trying to fulfil NWO agenda. NWO would rather push their agenda through few big countries, rather than dealing with many little countries.
Who is fawning over who.. to me it seems it is WEF that is fawning all over China. We need to remember CCP only works for CCP nobody else. Not WEF, not Russia.. nobody. I am pretty sure if we destroy China, WEF is no more. but if we destroy WEF, China is unaffected. And to be honest, I don't think Putin is interested in anything WEF is interested. My 2 cents. :)
Who knows? In January of 2021 Putin spoke to WEF at DAVOS. What if started he started the war in Ukraine in conjunction with WEF? https://youtu.be/hPClu1BeQIE
YGL are deeply embedded in most governments worldwide. Just because Putin is an alumnus does not mean he is in the WEF fold. Being aware of the strategy is helpful to know how to counter the strategy.
Tulsi is also a WEF grad; she's ardently opposed to getting involved in this war. Just because they're WEFers doesn't mean they agree with what they learned.
Tulsi is not a member of WEF. . According to her, she out of nowhere invited to their annual meeting or some sort of meeting in Dabos... which was long time ago. (also remember Tulsi was young when she became Congresswoman.. 31 or something like that.). She accepted the invite, and met them.. and that was it... she said recently on somebody's podcast. Later, she found out they plasterd her picture on their web site... but, she said she got nothing to do with WEF.
So, if the ChiComs invade your home and the US, you'll gladly surrender and urge others to surrender because after all Joe Biden is one demented and corrupt President.
Except Joe Biden isn't bringing any Churchillian qualities to the Russian invasion of Ukraine as President Zelensky is doing.
Thanks for posting that link to the consortium news article! Super helpful! WAKE UP ALEX! Seems the covid plandemic/scamdemic and vax clot shots are the only truths you can see, and yet you continue to ignore information that is not anit-Russian. Your huge bias is showing!
Stupid logic strikes again. Putin is a "liberator" or did you forget? He wants to build another empire and go down as a great czar. He doesn't want to take over rubble. SMH
Thanks for the link to that great article. Great insights from a former career CIA officer.
I don't think US troops will openly enter the Ukraine conflict (other than CIA and special ops).... I don't believe Biden has control of the bulk of the US military. If he did, WWIII would have started already. The Pentagon is pushing back on the rush to war. How can the Pentagon push back against the President of the United States? Maybe because he does not have full control of the military. Think about it. The 'powers that be' are trying to push every European country into taking military action to support Ukraine (Poland etc.), but NONE of them want in on the 'action'.... they are observing (at least officially) what is going on. Now why would the US Administrative branch and its puppets in Ukraine be pushing other European countries so hard to get into the conflict when the US has one of the most 'powerful military machines on the planet'? Because that deadly military machine is not at the full disposal and whim of the current Administration. The current administration cannot order the full US military to go to war with Russia. Their 'orders' will be ignored by the "Pentagon". That's the only thing that makes sense here in my view.
Another UNZ piece. I now can't trust much of anything and really don't need to. There will be an end to the conflict, neither I nor the pundits can reliably predict what will happen. If we see an effective hit on the Russian fleet in Crimea we will know a lot more. So far the stakes have been low but could go higher.
Quite a sad article that seems like it was written before Feb 24. (Oddly it WAS, in Feb 11, UNZ review). But it was just published by Global. Putin apparently fell for the bait and actually did invade Ukraine! Apparently things had not been going well in his meddling in the Donbas. After the invasion, Germany to the delight of Biden has completed turned on Russia and even changed long term military avoidance.
Saw that but it missed the Russians are losing a number of aircraft from effective air defense that they were not able to take out. Not sure they wish to risk the assets until they can defeat air defense. All quite odd in that the air defense is mostly old Russian gear.
Kyiv has been spared to a degree by the fear of outrage by their Ukrainian "bothers".
stick with covid Alex..this war thing is not your lane..i hope this becomes Russias Vietnam but we need to worry about the invasion on our southern border and less about Russias invasion, 2000 Americans a week are dying in our war at home...drug overdoses by fentanyl brought in thru Mexico..thats a lot of dead Americans! Ukraine and Russia are both corrupt hell holes..not our problem !!
Why the hell do we care about an effective civil war 5,000 miles away more than, well, anything here? It’s not whataboutism when this administration has proven objectively it can’t do more than one thing at a time, or anything right.
The southern border is still wide open
Inflation still out of control
Covid is an “emergency” unless Putin invades Ukraine?? Crazy how Putin invading a country 5,000 miles away ended Covid.
Perhaps you can give some example of Brandon focusing on two things at once in a productive manner?
Because it's not a civil war. It's the biggest war in Europe since WWII and it's having a global impact on energy to food. Which people will learn more about when they remove their heads out of the sand.
It's only having that impact because our gov't WANTS it to. We could just ignore it like we do every other war our gov't doesn't care about. The Biden admin did everything in tehir power to get this party started, because they wanted an excuse to push the price of gas into the stratosphere, so they could push their Green New Destruction.
You really need to go read about what has actually happened in the region since the fall of the USSR. Bosnia was in the 1990’s and more people died. Bosnia is in Europe.........
To directly answer Trump started zero wars that I aware of, and he seemed to multi-task rather well. I am shocked at how few people even know what the Abraham Accords are. Pre-pandemic we had emissions lower than they had been in decades. I think the Paris Climate agreement is 💩 meant to make the west poorer, but for those concerned about the climate, even pre-pandemic our emissions reductions under Trump were greater than the Pars benchmark. Our ecological regulations were being revised to accomplish good environmental goals rather than create more pointless paperwork. Low unemployment and low inflation allows the masses to fund prosperity which I think is good. His tax reform was long needed. Our corporate rates were far too high to be competitive, and encouraged offshoring of profits. In addition to the Abraham Accords, which many promised but Trump actually accomplished, Trump got criminal justice reform through congress. We were energy independent. When he aimed for terrorist, he hit the terrorist, not weddings or some poor guy and a bunch of kids delivering water.
Trump, for all his flaws, was a more successful president than any I can remember in my lifetime (I was born with Regan in office so I don’t really “remember” him all that much).
Do not mistake my hatred of neocons, which are very much bi-partisan, for dislike of Trump. Trump is not a neocon.
I will most vote for Republicans the next few elections because the democrats honestly scare the crap out of me. They are authoritarian, seek to impoverish our middle class, and promote theories that are harmful and completely detached from objective reality. Many are also neocons wanting endless US intervention in armed conflict.
I will also vote in the primaries because the Republican Party is also littered with war mongering neocons. Sane Republicans have a far better shot of winning primaries where I live and ultimately the Republican neocons are less likely to destroy my kids than the Democrat neocons/ neoliberals who, in addition to war mongering, seem to genuinely despise children and embrace ever increasing totalitarian insanity right here at home.
To be clear, I voted for Trump in 2020, and I believe the world would be a more peaceful and prosperous place had he won. “Mean tweets” bother me substantially less than the 💩 show we’ve been dealing with for 14 months.
My questions about wars and multi tasking were kinda rhetorical. You are on the money about the war mongering neocons. When Trump was elected I seem to recall that many demonrats and snowflakes wanted to move to Canada. I'm curious to know if that is still the case. Maybe life under Trudeau would not quite live up to their expectations.
Have you asked yourself why they told Zelensky there was no chance Ukraine could join NATO, but they were going to pretend it could, for a bit? C'mon, Horsey, you're either thicker than a brick, or you're a paid propagandist.
And if authentic, there is this Ukrainian official who seems to predict this war back in 2019, as a means to get into NATO. Yes there will be death and destruction but we will join NATO, predicted it to happen sometime 2021 or 2022.
Absolutely and Biden with his Obama handlers aide and abetted Putin's objective. They removed sanctions, they stopped the balance of President Trump's lethal military aid to Ukraine and they destroyed America's energy independence making Putin billions richer.
Biden and his Obama handlers gave the green light to Putin's "intrusion" which he said, time to go all-in and take all of Ukraine.
I am from Ukraine. I have also lived in Russia. As of today, Ukraine is considerably more corrupt and lawless than Russia when it comes to socio-economic factors. In political terms, both are equally totalitarian. .
So what? Zelesnky is not a poor man. He was a very popular comedian and film maker. Putin has been nothing but KGB and his yacht only is hundred times the cost of Zelensky's villa. Where did he got his riches from? Any idea?
Well in Ukraine you are allowed to say that Ukrainian government is corrupt, in Russia you are also allowed to say that Ukrainian government is corrupt. That makes it "almost as corrupt", right?
It is normal reaction. I am sure that Russian disinformation warriors presented themselves as "opposition channels". Do you know how many anti-war and anti-Putin channels in Russia now? Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War also.
He did just ban opposition channels. He banned opposition political parties. One of those parties has 40plus seats in the Ukrainian parliament. They were elected by the people, but they have now been banned. Russia is worse, I get it. But Ukraine is not a legitimate democracy.
You may be right that he is wrong but it's okay because this other guy has been wronger for longer and this other guy from 160 years ago was also wrong and he didn't do wrong things so if he did something wrong and then it must have been right.
Yes, there are Putin infiltrators inside the government and around the country ready, eager and able to sell out Ukraine for a rouble.
Most definitely, I have a Reagan Doctrine bias. At least I don't have a head in the sand bias that wishing this away will make things better. It won't.
You've said nothing of substance so far. So I'm going to assume that you're a propagandist. One who hangs out on two substacks. So I'm going to assume that you have some sort of relation$hip with both.
Uh, you definitely aren’t allowed to say the Ukrainian government is corrupt in either Russia or Ukraine. Zelensky started locking his political opposition up in jail, and even banned the Russian language (which is the primary language in eastern Ukraine) to shut down opposition television long before the invasion. Since the invasion he’s banned all political opposition and brought all media under his government control. Putin and Zelensky aren’t as different as we might wish.
Some comments here are blatantly ridiculous. Russian language in Ukraine is not banned. They just proclaimed Ukrainian as official language over there. Wikipedia: All the minority languages (including Russian) remain explicitly protected under article 10 of the Ukrainian Constitution.
When your country is located right next to the aggressive, nuclear armed, warmongering monster, you have to do certain things for protection. When your country is heading to war, or at war (by the way, the war started in 2014 with Russians capturing Donbass and Crimea and billions dollars poured by Russia to penetrate Ukrainian institutions) it is not right time for politics. So, he banned 40 out of 400 plus parliamentarians, that is less than 10%. Did they have chance to win an election? No. Let's reserve our judgement and see if those opposition parties will be allowed to participate in political life after the end of war.
Wikipedia. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. That’s your “evidence”. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Fuck all those EU documents, funerals, the civil war thing that’s been going on, banning Russian language television, removing the primary language for the ethnic majority in the eastern economic hub from public life, locking up if ethnic Russian politicians, thousands of dead, including children, Wikipedia says it isn’t true, so that must be the case!!!
Wikipedia also says the vaccines are safe and effective and saying otherwise is misinformation. For a year it said the lab leak theory had been debunked. The damn thing is it even correct on the longest animal on Earth.
My FIFTH grader, she’s 10, is prohibited from using Wikipedia as a a source for research papers, and it’s blocked at my kids top ranked private k-12 school, because the website is PROPOGANDA and frequently demonstrably wrong.
She's pointed out to you how undemocratic the Ukrainian government was before the Russian invasion and then you tell her how much of a victim she is? You're a propagandist.
But in Canada, supposedly a free and democratic nation, if you criticize the government and/or take part in, or support a peaceful protest you may well find your bank account to be frozen and your rights literally trampled on by mounted thugs on horseback.
Would love to see your in-depth knowledge on Eastern Europe. But no, I'm not going to your substance. Answer us here.
To repeat:
If the ChiComs invade your home and the US, you'll gladly surrender and urge other to surrender because after all Joe Biden is one demented and corrupt President.
Except Joe Biden isn't brining any Churchillian qualities to the Russian invasion of Ukraine as President Zelensky is doing.
The problem with people like you, Horsey, is that you use sarcasm to ridicule people with whom you disagree. There are people who are better qualified to analyze this situation than me, but you and Alex Berenson aren’t included in that group. By comparing Zelenskyy favorably to Winston Churchill betrays your utter ignorance on the matter.
It’s not just me. I scrolled up and down, and saw the way you speak to people who disagree with you. No wonder you love Zelenskyy. Nobody’s allowed to disagree with him either. Horsey’s ass.
You can disagree Jeff. You can say whatever you wish and I'm here to offer a bit more historical perspective near and far. Others can differ and do. Have a great day. I've addressed your query below.
P.S. When you can, maybe look up this guy named Ronald Reagan. Some people claim to hold him dear to their political hearts. See also: The Reagan Doctrine.
Sorry. I clicked submit before I intended to. Anyway. Zelensky has banned 11 opposition political parties. Not one of them has expressed support for the Russian invasion. One of those parties has 40some seats in the Ukrainian parliament. Elected by the public. Now those parties have been banned from all political activities. It’s now illegal to disagree with Zelenskyy in Ukraine. That sure doesn’t sound like Churchill to me. The level of ignorance is astounding.
Sure Jeff, my pleasure. Russian sympathizers and traitors don't have to operate as you demand with an announcement. Ukraine has a number of political parties and individuals who are happy to sell out to the enemy. There's a long history of that.
Aren't most Americans aware of the type of person who will happily rat out or sell out others to what people think is the winning team? Or the bully at work or in the neighborhood or in the courtroom who appears to have all the power?
Zelensky sold Ukraine out to the U.S. so that we could fight Russia to the last Ukrainian. Any Ukrainian who disagrees with that policy is obviously an enemy of Ukraine. Good riddance to that lot.
I was saying that you’re a Horsey’s ass. And why do I say that? It’s because I’m insulting you as you insult others because they aren’t in lockstep with whatever you say. And it’s exactly that that makes you Horsey’s ass.
Your analogy makes no sense. If the U.S. were invaded the U.S. would fight. Ukraine has been invaded so Ukraine is fighting. (It would have been smarter of course for Ukraine to not get invaded by agreeing to stay out of NATO, but that's water under the bridge . . .)
Alex can't afford me? I've differed with Alex in the past, particularly on the efficacy of Ivermectin used for the ChiCom Virus. He's been pretty good about it and ignored me. 🙃
Too many people imagine that a war between superpowers will unfold slowly, like a Tom Clancy novel.
In reality, any such war will quickly become an existential struggle for survival, as the sides strive to establish air superiority to cover any planned ground operations. Nuclear weapons will be subject to destruction in their silos and on airfields, and must be used or lost.
For China, the pressure to go nuclear will be especially intense, because their arsenal is so much smaller than the US. But it's highly likely that China and Russia will be allies in the upcoming World War III. NATO war games indicate that Europe will be quickly overrun in a conventional war with Russia, and it's far more likely that NATO would turn to first use of nuclear weapons in a desperate attempt to stop the onslaught.
All over the world, military officials (not to mention armchair generals) have forgotten that a nuclear war cannot be won by anyone, because the ecosystem will be destroyed.
Not implying any timing with the Clancy reference. I find it amazing people are arguing the most important thing to do is lay down and let Russia do as they wish because they have nukes.
Wonder how North Korea and Iran will interpret that position?
First, what does the opinion of a random assortment of Americans have to do with Russian military strategy on the ground? Please answer this one because I don't understand how you like an opinion poll to the literal failure of an operation.
Also, yes many American corporations have left Russia (for now), but the US is not the entire world and the last time I checked, Russian oil is still selling even to western Europe. Russians still have access to the internet. Their economy has not collapsed and in the event that it does, they have their buddy China to back them up.
In fact, they're being paid for their gas in rubles and demanding that Western Europe do the same, which will negatively impact the petro dollar, so pls explain to the class how that's a failure??
I really hope that your Twitter access is reinstated because that's exactly where this post belongs. Sorry to say, but it's delusional, which is exactly what the American public is regarding who's winning what so far.
Exactly thank you. I can think Putin and Russia are in the wrong here and also acknowledge it is true that the US government has had dirty dealings in Ukraine and is not innocent here.
This has been going on for awhile and perhaps is Russia saying 'not anymore pal'. Its more analogous to the Cuban Missile Crisis as a response to our missiles in Turkey IMHO.
Yes. Russia is just as wrong as America was with the invasion of Iraq. Except that in our case, our government lied about the WMDs. Weather Russia is lying about the biolabs and weapons will come out in the wash.
And they are certainly not lying about the West creeping closer and closer to their border. Putin warned about this for years and the West forced him to do this.
The most dangerous place on the planet is sharing a border with Russia.
Look it up. One day, Americans are actually going to learn just a little about history.
All we see is this same repetition of Putin propaganda. The guy has been crying about "the catastrophe" of the fall of the Soviet empire for decades and long before any Soviet bloc country begged to get into NATO and escape the bear of Russian imperialism. He's wanted to redo it for decades.
If you knew even a little history, you'd know at least that much. But you don't. Sad.
Horsey Ass. Here is a letter to President Clinton in 1997 from 50 top Russian experts in the military, senate, and academia telling him to keep the US promise and stop NATO expansion. The NATO issue has been a huge, and valid, concern for Russia since before Putin. Zelensky and Biden spent late 2021 and early 2022 antagonizing this. It was foolhearty and a continuation of the pro-interventionist, war war war, death death death, Russia Russia Russia of the incompetent neocons that have been spreading poverty and death and misery globally for the last couple of decades. No amount of failure and death gets in the way of their need for more blood on foreign soil.
Stop accusing everyone of not knowing history when you’re ignorant and your own lack of understanding is demonstrable in, well, every comment you make.
Nonsense. While I am far from supporting Russia's invasion, the current situation is a perfect example of how well pro-Ukrainian propaganda backed by MSM and Big Tech has worked. It is fallacious to compare this directly to COVID propaganda - pro Ukraine propaganda isn't forcing anyone to inject and mask their children. In that sense, it is *perfect*, as it allows for virtue signaling, while the effects are misunderstood and indirect.
Plus, remember, Putin is responsible for the inflation and high cost of gas (and possibly COVID)!
This may come as a shock but if people would take a minute to learn, something, anything outside of running everything and I mean everything through a domestic policy lens.
Alex is correct. His analogy is his own and that's fine.
What is the issue that you are speaking to? Alex is making the claim that "big lies don't work", so if 80% of Americans have bought into something, it must clearly be true. It is clearly fallacious, regardless of what the "something" is. The other claim is that Russian propaganda would be as effective., despite being completely censored, if only it wasn't "false". This is frankly ridiculous.
80% of Americans know next to nothing about Ukraine and Russia, so I don't blame them for buying into the MSM propaganda. But that doesn't make it not propaganda.
You’re telling others to learn while you have no clue of what you’re talking about. It’s fine that you’re no expert. And you still get to have an opinion. But you insult others in the process. Of course, that’s the way it usually is with loudmouths like you.
I invite you once again Jeff, to make a point and I'll be glad to offer additional historical and present perspective of facts addressing that opinion.
I’m was interested in your perspective until you put Zelenskyy on par with Churchill. Once I saw that I realized that you’re a lightweight. But I wouldn’t even point that out we’re you not on the habit of demeaning those with whom you disagree.
Surely the high cost of gas (and heating oil and propane and natural gas) has more to do with two North American governments who between them have conspired to shut down pipeline construction, decimate the Alberta oil sands extraction, stop drilling within the US, halt further exploration in Canada, add carbon taxes on all fuels, halt fracking, stop construction of new refining capacity, all with the end goal of "zero carbon" whatever that means. So a continent that could be self-sufficient in energy is now dependent on making up it's deficiency in supply on the world markets. It is SFA to do with Putin. We have two of the most incompetent leaders in the west, in Biden and Trudeau neither of whom know SFA about economics, energy, construction, politics, money supply, inflation, or much else for that matter; and do not have an ounce of common sense between the pair of them. All they give a shit about seems to be CRT, masks, injecting anything that moves including babes in arms, censorship, mandates, and generally ensuring that both countries are well and truly FECKED.
Yes but IMO neithet of these two incompetents are making any decisions, they are just following orders from their higher ups, who put them in their positions as their mouthpieces
Is Alex’s position he can see through falsehoods on all things COVID and Pharma, and also validate Western public assessment of a war thousands of miles away?
Apparently it doesn’t occur to him that if 89% of people support one side of a complex geopolitical issue -- like say the support for Bush during the Iraq invasion -- it is likely the result of propaganda.
Haha. He swallowed the propaganda hard. The biggest thing he misses here is that the USSR and Russia were/are terrible at propaganda. The USA are the world leaders in propaganda. Modern propaganda was invented here. They don't do it because it doesn't work.
Yes. Or listen to an interview of Scott Ritter who actually is an "expert" in these affairs. Here is one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSkpIq3T-Zc. As for what's happening on the ground on a daily basis, there are still a few bloggers who haven't been shut down yet.
Thank you so much for the recommendation on Tom Luongo's blog - WOWSA!! What a goldmine (no pun intended) of information backed by historical facts (instead of "polling data"... LOL...Ridiculous that Alex wouldn't see that rake before tripping over it).
There is also a really good interview with Bill Roggio on UnHerd. He's a leading military analyst at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. What he says makes a lot of sense regarding Russian strategy:
It's not our problem. It's certainly not worth getting us all killed. And you KNOW we'd be doing the exact same thing if the situation were reversed -- it was called the Cuban Missile Crisis.
If you want to make it your fight, go make it your fight. Don't drag the rest of us into it.
No one asked you to do anything. No one asked you to serve with people as those from dozens of countries who have gone to Ukraine. You can sit safe at home and just pay the higher energy and food prices which are the benefits of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. (On top of Biden's burden.)
If only there was a few left who went beyond idolizing Ronald Reagan to understanding what the Reagan Doctrine stood for and how it matters now.
You would think the Nuclear Freezniks from the 80s have suddenly spawned into a bunch of Neville Chamberlains today. They are as scared as the damn Branch Covidians.
Look at the whole lot here all repeating the latest talking points from the right of center, "we're the good guys" so let's ignore all this.
Same folks who used to tell us how they revered Ronald Reagan. They don't seem to remember The Reagan Doctrine. Not a good look.
Ukraine said from day one they would not lay down and surrender their freedom. They didn't do it at the urging of another country. The entire country armed and unarmed is standing up to the Russian invasion.
Great, every country should stand up to invasion by another country. My point was that we can't hide the fact that it's getting massive support from the West to be able to continue fighting.
Then take your old ass over there and take up arms for a country that has nothing to do with safety or security of the us. Send your kids over there or your grand kids. No thanks. Ukraine is not our problem. Just because Putin is a bad guy doesn’t mean we need to fight this fight. The entire civilized world is dead wrong most of the time. They serve the self interest of there political classes, every one is corrupt. If the us invaded I will have no problem taking up arms and fighting for my country. I’m tired of having our young men killed because of the follies of a corrupt and incompetent political class.
Well, if I have, it's certainly none of you business, Jim. If you think there is no security issue for the US related to Putin's invasion of Ukraine, I salute you.
Now go gas up at the pump before the price goes up again. Because it's going up and you can elect to see it as unrelated to the biggest war in Europe since World War II. That's your right.
However, pretending I or anyone else has said the US should send boots on the ground when no one has said it, well, now you're just beating up on a poor scarecrow "straw man."
If you like, I can wait so you can do it some more.
"Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine"
Alex is on the wrong side of the truth on this one ... I'm sure if Mexico wanted to join Russian military alliance and put Russian missiles on our border we would've invaded too (especially if they had a battalion of REAL NAZIS fighting for them)
I mean, it's not like we've had something very similar to that ACTUALLY HAPPEN in our history. We just rolled over and allowed the USSR to put missiles in Cuba, right?
Lol. Alex, we don’t get Russian propaganda in the US. We get our corrupt government/media propaganda. Of course the majority of Americans are pro-Ukraine. Just like the majority supported CoVid mandates. (Until the truth became obvious.) Also, you are conflating explaining why Russia invaded with defending the invasion. This war could have been avoided.
It definitely could be avoided. But likely at the inevitable expense of future total destructions of Russia from the Ukraine-based NATO forces. It's a lose-lose situation for Russia which is cornered by NATO aggression
I am usually all for the little guy. However, before the invasion and before the present political structure, Ukraine was a cesspool of corruption with Biden and his son up to their armpits. I admire their tenacity (Ukrane) and hope that they come out as intact as possible. The US must be extremely careful about tweaking a nuclear tyrant. WWIII is just over the horizon.
It is so hard to admit this: Russia is winning. Ukraine is full of corruption and lacking basic defense resources. Ukraine is a small city, a size of Sacramento in terms of GDP. Anyone with means fled the country. As Big Tech blocked any Russian media, we don't know what is on the other side. What Alex Berenson is seeing is what the western media wanted us to believe just like Covid, vaccines and boosters etc. So Alex finally got trapped again after delivering truths on Covid for 3 years. What is sad is the American right also got trapped in the Ukraine story. Who is the saving Christiandom, Biden or Putin? If Ukraine is a country with no money and no army, they should have played right with Russia. But the American left pushed it to be bold without backing it, and Ukraine has nothing but destruction. Alex - pls go back to Covid. I think Russia will prevail, and the US will eventually get nothing from this situation - losing economic and political leadership. Biden did a great job of trashing out the US's standing among the oil producers. The crown prince of Saudi Arabia is not picking up a call from Biden. Wow....unreal. So remember everyone that why all the sudden CNN is telling the truth when they have not been. Ukraine is the problem and Russia is a natural reaction. If Cuba allows a communist Chinese military base in it, the US will decimate Cuba into rubbles in two seconds. the same logic goes to Russia.
This is Putin vs, Biden who basically wants to kill babies born by backdating their abortion dates. Biden who wants to hurt his own people by making domestic energy unreliable. It’s Biden who mandated unproven vaccines to kick off people of faith out of all federal And Military roles. It’s Biden who wants to destroy market based economy by introducing regulations after regulations and taking away hard earned American wages to fund his socialist agenda. Putin has a market economy and Christian values in domestic policy intact. Think and compare!
What no one seems to wonder is that if war comes here, who is supposed to fight it? Us deplorables? The people who this administration and the rest of the swells have not only maligned for the past 5 years, but now have sought to ostracize and take our livelihoods away? Those guys? I have a thought. Maybe the Zuckerberg’s and the Dorsey’s should fight the next one. Maybe Hannity with his self-proclaimed ninja skills should assassinate Putin bare handed. He can take Lindsay with him. Maybe Chelsea should pick up a rifle. Bezos and Gates kids? Just a thought. They make it so all you can do is defend your family, friends and loved ones. That’s dystopia. Starting to think that’s the plan.
Alex stay in your swim lane on vaccines b/c you are clearly right there. As for Ukraine and Russia, we don't know jack-sh*t in this fog of war. Russia had its justifications but the Red army is also notoriously offensively inept without massive allied support. Finland kicked their asses in 1939 and this is probably a repeat. Russia still "won" the winter war by annexing 10% of Finland and making Finland a neutral state to this day. I expect the same outcome here in Ukraine.
Newsflash he was a journalist prior to Covid, writing with against-the-stream bravery on several subjects. You may disagree w/him, but his “lane” isn’t a one topic subject matter. Never has been.
Finland is moving as public opinion toward NATO membership. Their former Prime Minister said as much the other day. Everyone in the neighborhood got the (Putin invasion) message. Sweden will likely be acting similarly too even with Putin's sniping nuclear threat against both.
Just saw that 70% of all Covid deaths in Canada are among the fully vaxed. 90% of all deaths have had at least one shot. Is this actually Covid or are we starting to see something else?
Still Covid and vaccine failure
On Covid you get it. On Ukraine you sound like the worst Covidian (zero understanding of the cultural and ethnic divide between East and west Ukraine, zero understanding of the current borders, zero understanding of what lead up to this conflict). Please either stick to what you actually know, or learn about that which you clearly do not.
That you think American public opinion polls are what matter is the biggest clue you really don’t get it.......
I think polls have their place of course, but I agree with you re: Ukraine. It seems pretty darn obvious that US & NATO meddling is all over the place.
Nigel Farage (?) warned against "playing war games in Ukraine" in 2014. The corruption over there matters.
Didn't both Putin & Zelensky agree to a popular vote to decide territories but the US a& NATO said no?
All I know is, if China or Russia were talking about putting missiles in Mexico and including them in a military alliance targeted at the US, the US would be doing the exact same thing, just as it did during the Cuban missile crisis. So it insults the intelligence to paint this in simplistic terms and claim that the Ukrainians are the gOoD GuYS and the Russians are the BaD gUYs like this was some kind of Marvel movie. Like basically all geopolitical matters, this is a question of perspective and interests.
That’s a huge part. So is the fact that Eastern Ukraine is ethnically Russian, where ethnically Russian/ Slov separatists have been in a civil war with Ukrainian neonazi brigades, largely Germanic by ethnicity, since 2014. Zelensky escalated the situation and alienated Ukraine’s economic hub in the east when he outlawed the Russian language and locked up the pro-Russisb political opposition.
I am anti-war. That is not pro-Putin. I am pro stay the hell out of it. The ONLY national security interest we have in Ukraine is peace, but the neocons in charge right now are ensuring that won’t happen. We aren’t even trying - we are instead doing what we also did in Syria - which is lots more death and lots more human suffering. This time with a higher possibility of stumbling in WW III. There was no point to WW I. This is the same thing. After all the bloodshed no one will understand why it ever happened. As far as the neocons, of both political parties, These are the same people who got us into the disasters in Afghanistan and Iraq and the outcome is the same - a lot of death and animosity on all sides. Sad.
That was a very salient and eloquent summary of my sentiments. TY NCmom. The regular, poor, just-surviving folks are always on the short end of these political sticks. Like pawns on a chessboard.
Well said and couldn’t agree more!
yep. Biden is a neocon!
You're wrong about the Russian propaganda that Zelensky "outlawed the Russian language." That's a ridiculous canard and shows how people will just get suckered. Ukraine made the national language of government Ukrainian. There is no Russian language ban.
I've been there and it's sad how little is known here.
Thank you for explaining this unwanted war in such simple terms. I have yet to figure out why no one seems to be interested in STOPPING the killing and suffering. God help us all.
You're just making things up Eastern Ukraine wasn't in some civil war mode of its own volition. Putin sent in operatives from Moscow and followed with his Little Green Men army. There are no neonate brigades, nor German. Azov Regiment is made up fo people from across the country. They are hard men and some are "right-wing" with an abiding hatred for communism and the destruction they and their families underwent.
You claim Zelensky escalated "the situation." That's Putin propaganda. The entire conflict was orchestrated from Moscow.
You also claim Zelensky "outlawed the Russian language" which I saw someone else here also propagate that stupid law.
If you're so anti-war, then why aren't you against the Putin invasion in eastern Ukraine? But you're not as that went on for eight years and it united all of Ukraine for the Russian invasion.
That is undeniable now. No amount of lying will change the valiant fight for freedom by the people of Ukraine.
Thee end.
agree fully. also, that good v evil narrative overlooks the bigger implications of a possible broader agenda with China & WEF Great Reset stuff. I don't know what the truth is, but useful idiot aint it.
I'm still looking at the video of Biden admitting on stage that he used extortion to impede a Ukrainian investigation in to Hunter's oil company during his stint as VP. Clearly the first signs of his dementia was admitting that publicly.
The Biden Crime Family made millions extorting Ukraine, was handed about $4 million from a Putin-connected oligarch from Moscow and tens of millions from ChiCom intel-connected firms.
Biden and his Obama handlers gave the green light for Putin to invade Ukraine.
This is all simple fact. Peter Schweizer has a book out on it.
I remember that video!!!!! I hope you find it because that is something that should be played on a loop these days.
I keep pointing that out to people and asking what they think the US would do if Russia were doing this in Mexico. They all ignore the question. Their silence tells me everything I need to know. False moral superiority is not real moral superiority.
We also have historical records going back to the fall of the USSR with promises to Russia not to expand NATO. Germany got Georgia invaded in 2008 because German leaders spent 2007 pontificating about Georgia and Ukraine joining NATO.
Then Ukraine amended its constitution to seek entry to NATO under Zelensky, though it was unlikely to ever happen, Brandon spent the end of 2021 elevating Ukraine with US backing to join NATO, and within 48 hours of Kamala Harris pontificating about admiring Ukraine joining this entirely predictable and completely preventable invasion began.
I don’t support the invasion. I also don’t support funding personally more weapons of death and the neocons pushing for war rather than calling for peace.
The majority of people taking the stance Alex did in this article spent all their time and energy focused on Covid Covid Covid Covid until at least February of 2022. The entirety of their understanding is based on predictable fog of war propoganda that has been everywhere since that time.
Posting articles from around the world pre-dating 2022 doesn’t seem to make them stop and consider other perspectives at all. Instead they swear articles from the LA Times in 2018 are “Russian Propoganda” or letters in the historical records to Clinton from 1997 the same, even though they pre-date Putin. Never ask them to go back to the late 1980’s and early 1990’s because that’s like pre-historic to them (even though in my lifetime and I’m only 39). 😩
The horsey ass insisting I’m promoting Russian propoganda also thinks there hasn’t been a war in Europe “in decades.” 🙄. Talk about stupid. I’ve got friends from Bosnia. They beg to differ.
Russia invaded Ukraine. See also: international law.
Why should Russia care about international law when the US doesn't?
One standard for other Empires?
Apply the policies equally or it's a flimsy argument.
We invaded Iraq................. and unlike the biolabs, Saddam never had nuclear weapons.
Problem is people want to push their idea of NATO is the problem because they hear that even though Putin has been clear about seeking Empire long before a single Soviet bloc nation was admitted into NATO.
NATO is a defensive alliance. They don't go invading other countries.
Unfortunately, people are looking for any reason to avoid even looking at the fact that the largest country in Europe (Russia) invaded the second largest country in Europe (Ukraine) and the Putin playbook calls for more not less.
It's the end of the mirage that brute force empire is merely so 20th century. People having a problem with that from Farage to a whole lot of people in the US.
Problem with people who know nothing about Eastern Europe is they get in these comments and try to simplify complex and nuanced situations they don’t really understand, that have been building for years and decades, with ethnic and cultural implications going back centuries, down to bumper sticker statements based on semantics, not reality.
People were writing Clinton letters to stop this long before Putin was in charge in Russia. To claim “NATO is a definitive” alliance begs the question - then why the hell would it want a bunch of Eastern European countries that pose no threat to us or our Western European to be members?
Here is a letter to Clinton from 1997 from Military generals, senators, academics and others. You probably need to start there and get through 2021 before you start regurgitating war propaganda. You don’t know what you are talking about.
Russia has been very vocal about NATO becoming a sword aimed at them for decades, rightfully so.
https://www.armscontrol.org/act/1997-06/arms-control-today/opposition-nato-expansion
Why would Eastern European countries want to be part of NATO?
Oh about seven decades of Soviet tyranny, oppression and tens of millions murdered under communist oppression.
You probably need to start there and with the concept of national sovereignty. Russia can complain all it wants because Russia always says it's the victim, no matter who they victimize.
But you buy that bill of goods and ignore 300 hundred years of Russia imperialism and Russification.
Fuck Putin and Fuck Russia imperialism. Slava Ukraini & the Reagan Doctrine, forever!
Why can't I have a problem with NATO and Putin?
You can have a problem with both. I do! But the comment I was replying to claimed this had nothing to do with NATO. It did and does. Zelensky did most of the antagonizing, but part of that was amending the constitution to join NATO. Putin was probably always going to address Donbas, but he only amassed these troops after Biden started calling for Ukraine to join NATO. If we actually cared about the Ukrainians, we’d be demanding peace and fighting for that.
Because it's a canard to blame NATO. Any study of Putin from his time as a KGB thug in East Germany would offer that clarity.
Sadly, too many don't know about any of it and his anger at the "catastrophe." That's what Putin calls the demise of the Soviet empire.
Now, he wants to see an empire revived under his effort.
Look it up. The media ignores all of this over years and even more recently but it's all on the record. Putin has not been bashful about any of it.
A "defensive" alliance that's been making war and killing civilians by the millions. Give me a break!
NATO has killed millions in Europe? Or are you confusing that with the women and children being murdered by Putin and blaming NATO?
Have you read his book? It's pretty superficial tbh. I was expecting a much deeper dive.
Conversely I was expecting RFK's book to be tame, but it was exceedingly well researched and had new information for even the most seasoned covid dissident.
If you ask me, Berenson gives way too much credibility to legacy media and government institutions and seems unwilling to consider the evidence undermining the big important axioms underlying the system that inflicted covid containment tyranny on us. Given how prominent he is among covid dissidents it surprised me how much MSM talking points (poorly sourced IMO) he took at face value vs how much of the counternarrative (some of which is backed by mountains of evidence) he dismisses out of hand or fails to mention. In his covid book that is (although I haven't finished it yet).
I mean, the guy wrote novels about terrorists using bioweapons didn't he? I'm not saying his work isn't worth reading, but frankly I think dissidents give him too much cred.
His coverage on Ukraine is just straight up weird. I want to engage with the "other side" on this, I really do - but they seem to be totally ignorant of so much and yet still take this dismissive tone as though it's the rest of us that are just "falling for Putin's propaganda". Newsflash - many of us have been following this since long before the invasion...
I preferred RFK’s book - mostly because I like studies and data I can check - but I think from the perspective of a journalist that Alex’s book is an important part of the Covid story.
He’s not a statistician and that shows. I also am no more likely to take medical advice from a journalist than I am a politician (I had very mild Covid and took the human version of horse dewormer).
Still, I do appreciate his voice for Covid.
He could be a powerful voice for other things, but Alex seems to think the people who lied about Covid (and Russiagate, Kavanaugh, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Lybia) are somehow telling the truth on Ukrain-Russia.
And yeah, I’m also surprised how few people suddenly sporting Ukrainian flags have any clue what they are talking about. I am very interested in environmental conservation (please never confuse me with an idiot climate alarmist). Anywho, I’ve followed Chernobyl because the wildlife has been thriving there, but the whole civil war gets into every bit of coverage for years. My dad is also a living encyclopedia of human history so I can get lots of answers/ sources/ understanding from someone who has forgotten more than I will ever know.
Exactly, NCmom. They've lied and lied and lied. Why would anyone believe the war fairy tale that promises to give them what they want--the Green New Deal + a distraction from the COVID disaster? It doesn't take a foreign policy genius to at least suspect our gov't of lying about Ukraine/Russia.
You know what I'm getting further in the book now and I regret making this comment. Berenson's work has been influential and important, I have no doubt he comes from a place of good faith, and he's doing way more than I ever could for the good of mankind.
If youre reading this by chance Berenson, I apologize for my attitude in that comment. I'm just some dude online, gone half crazy by many of the things that have happened to and around me in my (to this day) deeply covidian city. Not really an excuse, but yeah. The book's good, definitely something I'll continue to recommend to my normie friends and family. Not everybody is prepared to be thrown into the deep end of just how malicious and (frankly) evil the covid containment regime, and the institutions that perpetuate it, actually are.
I have struggled with the same perceptions you did, but then I was reminded that most of my sane friends were too uninterested to look at even the state data charts. They’d only look at the screen shots I texted - not the links - only the screenshots of the charts. They can read Pandemia. RFK wouldn’t interest them unless it’s a cliff notes version.
Alex’s NYT roots are coming out in his coverage of anything not the medical industry, which is very disappointing, but Matt Taibbi is the same for finance. The dude does not understand economics nor the actual roles of people in that world. I still appreciate Woke Inc and his insights into media manipulation. Similar for Glen Greenwald. The entirety of Reason Magazine can have some just way off stuff unrealistic ideological stuff, and some important insightful stuff. Unherd is another publication in that arena.
The only publication I read with regularity that isn’t off, misguided, or prone to ideological propaganda at least some of the time is Tax Foundation, which is by far the best publication for everything taxes, but they also stay in their lane. Ever heard an account try to analyze marketing or trademark names? It ain’t pretty. We don’t get it.
Plus, you gave RFK some much deserved credit. He interviewed Alex and there were some funny low blows going both directions.
Props for reconsidering your thoughts. No better way to encourage all of us to do that than to own it.
Right. Like the Nuland/CIA backed Ukraine coup in 2014:
Nuland: “Fuck the E.U.” and “Yats is the guy”.
Then Nuland disappeared during the Trump presidency and was put right back into The State Department when Biden was sworn in. She and her husband, Robert Kagan, are no-good very bad people. Add to this Rice, Sullivan and Blinken being “in charge”.
Alex must think we are all freakin’ stoopit.
Dont forget Soros is even behind this new Jackson supreme court pick. Jackson is not only into full term abortion she lets pedophiles roam free. And with Uncle Joey Biden seeing him in Poland making a fool of himself and this country you would think someone in his family would say let's go home Uncle Joey it is all over now. But they let him continue making a fool out of our country and we have 1,000 more days of the downward spiral. And the elite media does not pick up on this fool. He goes to eat with our troops the commander and chief is supposed to eat last not first. Biden is a clueless moron buffon with more that 50 years of abusing hard drugs and alchol.
The big difference between RFK Junior is that was basically like a Junior professor aids story. Berenson book is all coming from a Critical care doctor Pulmonologist the only MD who diagnose and treat Covid patients. Berenson has 4 More Years of college to be in this position. You have Fairytales and Team reality.
RFK's book is a researched approach picking pieces for analysis while Alex's book is more a live recounting as the ChiCom Virus story unfolded.
Both are excellent.
Because it's all about the money. Ain't a damn thing funny. You gotta milk a sport star in this land of Milk and Honey. Sports players are Exempt in NYC as of today. Sadly, this does not extend to cops, fire-fighters, nurses and doctors. Because it's a health issue....yes? It all boils down to a) control, and b) revenue. Nobody explains it better than Eric Adams, although he didn't mean to.
"Are you a doctor?"
"No, I'm basically a Prostitute!" 🤔
👍 thank you! I was getting tired of trying to wake these people up! If you want to read some good posts from a very knowledgeable historian and economist look up ArmstrongEconomics.com
Martin is probably the smartest guy geo politically. Flat out Putin has never once said he wants to occupy or destroy Ukraine, NATO and the West just need to stop advancing (Begrade Agreement) and allow the DonBass their vote for sovereignty (Minsk Agreement) and this is all over. Period! Useful Idiots?!? 🙄
So true and thanks for the link!!!! Looking at what to read first right now.
Reading Martin will change your life! 🤙🏻
What’s the deal with Armstrong paying $80 million in restitution For securities fraud? Should I just look for stuff Martin authored? I’s Armstrong one of those smart people doing something really dumb for greed?
I must say, it’s interesting though. We had a long drive to dinner tonight.
I certainly use neocon in the same way Armstrong does.
My definition too is a Pro-foreign interventionist. It has nothing to do with traditional conservative values or a free market economy. It’s all about interventionism. And it is very much a bi-partisan movement. That’s why they hated Trump. He first instinct was not to make his point with bombs.
I have never looked at how Wikipedia defines it because, well, it’s purely a propaganda website that can’t even get longest animal alive in earth correct. Interesting and might explain why some on this comment thread seem to think I’m bashing Republicans. I’m not. I’m bashing armed interventionists.
Well said, exactly what I was thinking.
Taking advice From Fauci is like taking Medical advice from the Manger at the local Marijuana dispensary!
Alex maybe related to one of those Jewish Russian Oligarchs that keep telling Putin to cut it out. :)
That is very kind. Thank you. I do read Jessica (and sometimes re-read with scratch paper to follow 🤦♀️). There are a lot on the Covid front I follow and I go snopping on other people’s profiles to see who other people are reading, which is how I think I found her.
Thanks for the pointer, just subscribed to UJ!
It's particularly sickening when has-been celebrities come out of hiding to suddenly show concern for countries that they never cared about before. "Look at what a caring person I am". Most of them are messed up creeps. Virtue signalling is a disgusting trait. Not necessary to announce that you are involved in certain causes.
Doubtless tweeted from their private jet on the way to a global warming conference.
Most of them are messed up bought-and-sold parrots. Since when did celebrities have an informed opinion? Only since they went on the payroll of the Machine. You can end up like Marilyn (I knew too much) Monroe, or Jennifer (I only use 3 sheets of TP) Aniston. Or dead or alive.
Did you not get your banana 🍌 pudding?
Funny story - my now husband and I ran this crap apartment complex in grad school. The maintenance man was Blanche Taylor Moore’s son-in-law (she’s the black widow). Whenever her daughter, his wife, would get mad at us for cutting his hours or make him fix stuff during normal hours, Moore’s daughter would bring us banana pudding. 😂. We never ate it.
We knew this way before they went public with the very first mRNA shot Berenson. When they were in the trial stage these vaccines never made the true 50% efficacy that the EUA wanted. We are face a severe recession soon before this fall. Why is the CDC not telling us about the fully vaccinated in the United States nursing homes who have died even with the 3rd mRNA shot from Covid-19?
1 + 1 = ??? I have no idea what the answer
is... I'm not a mathematician!!!
If you can’t define women but decide to “identify” as one you’ll be qualified for SCOTUS if Brandon gets a say. 🙄😩. How did we end up like this?
I got my job bc I am a Black Female, yet I have no idea how to define "Female"......let's not ask about defining "Black". Next Gen problem!
Why do 4-6 triple vaxxed, high profile
Democrats suddenly all get COVID at the exact same time, every 6 months or so?
Or a biologist!
Vaccine failure as in 'not working', with a tendency towards 'making it worse'.
You are better off wearing 2 life jackets and a inner tube around the waist.
I used to think the VAIDS idea was nuts, now I'm not so sure
Not so hard to understand when you put highly synthetic materials into an organic body in such intense ways as experimental gene editing medical injections
Read more of what Judy Mikovits says about this. She was wayyyy ahead of the curve in seeing this happening and how well before 2020
And she was horrendously demonized for it. I am beginning to believe the people that the media calls insane.
Has been this way since the beginning of time. The corrupt and evil hate seeing truth come to light. They will stop at nothing to silence it if they can. This past few years it's just become more overt it seems for certain...
They previously would at least try to be subtle, but no longer...
aint that the truth!
Fauci knows what he has done
She's a badass
Prof Luc Montagnier (sadly deceased) and Geert vandenBossch (both experts in virology and vaccines) warned months ago about the dangers of mass inoculations during a pandemic.
Its the same across the world EXCEPT in the CDC controlled USA data
What % of Canadians are fully vaxxed? Because if it's around 70%, then you'd expect that 70% of the deaths would be fully vaxxed. The more interesting stat is: among the population of fully vaxxed people, what % die - and how does that compare to the population that is not vaxxed.
If the percentage of Canadians that die equal the percentage vaxed that is wonderful proof that this vaccine did jack-squat. They are admitting that it doesn’t stop transmission but it was supposed to stop serious illness and death. Looks like now we are just seeing a normal distribution. Then there’s the negative efficacy against omicron in the UK for people 40 to 70.
How about the people that are Vaxxed and die prematurely. How about the people that develop life threatening illnesses or the acceleration of Cancers or Immunological Disease post Vaxx???? This is Rhetorical Question.
...and blood clots in 20-somethings.
No, you wouldn't expect 70% to die of COVID, IF the vaccine was doing one damn thing to help them. If the vax was working, their % of deaths should be lower than their % of the population, but it's not.
can i ask where you saw that?
It was on web news report but he pulled it from the Canadian site. There’s also a mainstream article out there that discusses the 70% figure. Finally, Dr John Campbell discussed similar numbers in the UK on his YouTube channel. He’s an excellent unbiased source. All he uses is the UK government’s data.
You will get all the stats and graphs from the Daily Expose UK. They did an analysis of the Canadian data based on PHAC stats.
I've been tracking the Ontario data - and 4 months after the 2nd dose push data between vaxed/unvaxed converged. Every-time they roll out a booster - the vax numbers look a bit better for 1-2 months, and then go back to norm.
There was interesting study by a Russian that administrating OPV boosts stimulates the immune system for about 3 months, and and people that take it in the fall never get Flu or even a cold. Maybe that is all the mRNA is doing.
Hey Alex, you are blowing all your covid credibility with your dumbass takes on Ukraine. Even Newsweek is speaking the truth https://consortiumnews.com/2022/03/23/pentagon-drops-truth-bombs-to-stave-off-war-with-russia/
Totally agree. Now all of a sudden Alex finds the polls, info and statistics put out by the media and big tech correct. Zelensky is one of the more corrupt Klaus Schwab puppets, he was one of the clients of Panama Papers and I believe recently purchased a $35 million home in Florida, among other things. He is just following the Schwab Soros orders in order to enable them to accomplish their 'Reset'........
LOL! Klaus Schwab named Vladimir Putin as one of his Young Global Leaders during this interview (enjoy at 1:00):
https://twitter.com/UAilments/status/1473570138020462593?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1473570138020462593%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fanti-empire.com%2Fwhy-does-klaus-schwab-think-that-vladimir-putin-was-a-wef-young-global-leader%2F
It was a brag. Later, schwab disavowed him and removed him from their site.
Yes exactly. Trudeau is also one of Schwab's favorites........
Give me a video of schwab bragging that Zelensky is his young global leader.
Why would there be a video when Zelenskyy only became president less than 3 years ago. He's on their site and wasn't notable before this year so there's that.
And re: the Putin thing, he was still a kgb officer and the YGL program hadn't started during the time he would have been eligible.
Apparently he and Klaus only met in like 1992 so either Schwab was going senile in that video or he was bragging, like I originally stated.
So, no video proof from you.
But I have another video for you: https://bookthepit.com/young-global-leaders-putin-wef/
Schwab is generous guy. He could forgive Vladimir a couple of years, or Vladimir could lie about his age, given his KGB training.
At the risk of sounding like some Qanon 5th dimension chess crazy: don't you think it's possible that Putin is fulfilling a NWO geopolitical aim FOR globalist ends?
I mean, he and Xi are allies and the stated landscape is "America is no longer the super power". Just a thought.
UK is bankrupt. Martin Armstrong (ArmstrongEconomics.com, I believe) has a pretty impressive modeling computer. Worth checking him out.
Anyway, I think the G7 elite want a third WW. Great for the business of centralizing power.
Exactly. Putin and Xi are trying to fulfil NWO agenda. NWO would rather push their agenda through few big countries, rather than dealing with many little countries.
Who is fawning over who.. to me it seems it is WEF that is fawning all over China. We need to remember CCP only works for CCP nobody else. Not WEF, not Russia.. nobody. I am pretty sure if we destroy China, WEF is no more. but if we destroy WEF, China is unaffected. And to be honest, I don't think Putin is interested in anything WEF is interested. My 2 cents. :)
Who knows? In January of 2021 Putin spoke to WEF at DAVOS. What if started he started the war in Ukraine in conjunction with WEF? https://youtu.be/hPClu1BeQIE
YGL are deeply embedded in most governments worldwide. Just because Putin is an alumnus does not mean he is in the WEF fold. Being aware of the strategy is helpful to know how to counter the strategy.
Tulsi is also a WEF grad; she's ardently opposed to getting involved in this war. Just because they're WEFers doesn't mean they agree with what they learned.
Tulsi is not a member of WEF. . According to her, she out of nowhere invited to their annual meeting or some sort of meeting in Dabos... which was long time ago. (also remember Tulsi was young when she became Congresswoman.. 31 or something like that.). She accepted the invite, and met them.. and that was it... she said recently on somebody's podcast. Later, she found out they plasterd her picture on their web site... but, she said she got nothing to do with WEF.
So, if the ChiComs invade your home and the US, you'll gladly surrender and urge others to surrender because after all Joe Biden is one demented and corrupt President.
Except Joe Biden isn't bringing any Churchillian qualities to the Russian invasion of Ukraine as President Zelensky is doing.
Ok, your turn. We'll wait.
Too bad you dont see things clearly but fine, you are entitled to yr opinion
Seeing it clearly and you declining to illustrate clearly and answer. That's ok.
Horsey i am not here to enter into a discussion with you, we each have our viewpoints and leave it like that
Churchillian??? Seriously??? He green-screened himself, because he's hiding out in Poland.
Here is one article. There are many of this from people on the ground there. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2022-10-20/questioning-ukraine-war-narrative https://thegrayzone.com/2022/09/13/13-year-old-ukrainian-govt-kill-list/ https://niccolo.substack.com/p/fuck-it-russias-final-break-with?utm_source=url
https://www.newsweek.com/putins-bombers-could-devastate-ukraine-hes-holding-back-heres-why-1690494
Yes, he needs to apply his critical thinking skills to this "War"....Maybe he should watch a Oliver Stone documentary
Thanks for posting that link to the consortium news article! Super helpful! WAKE UP ALEX! Seems the covid plandemic/scamdemic and vax clot shots are the only truths you can see, and yet you continue to ignore information that is not anit-Russian. Your huge bias is showing!
Alex didn't give a "dumbass take" on Ukraine. He pointed out some dumbasses.
What flavor Kool Aid do you prefer?
Not the ignorant variety.
The link won't open. Can you repost?
It just opened for me, here it is again https://www.newsweek.com/putins-bombers-could-devastate-ukraine-hes-holding-back-heres-why-1690494
Thanks! This time it worked!
Stupid logic strikes again. Putin is a "liberator" or did you forget? He wants to build another empire and go down as a great czar. He doesn't want to take over rubble. SMH
you must be a paid deep state stooge....rooting for WWWIII are we?
About that weak Russia misinfo Alex is peddling https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2022/03/23/larry-johnson-ukrainian-army-has-been-defeated-whats-left-is-mop-up/
Thanks for the link to that great article. Great insights from a former career CIA officer.
I don't think US troops will openly enter the Ukraine conflict (other than CIA and special ops).... I don't believe Biden has control of the bulk of the US military. If he did, WWIII would have started already. The Pentagon is pushing back on the rush to war. How can the Pentagon push back against the President of the United States? Maybe because he does not have full control of the military. Think about it. The 'powers that be' are trying to push every European country into taking military action to support Ukraine (Poland etc.), but NONE of them want in on the 'action'.... they are observing (at least officially) what is going on. Now why would the US Administrative branch and its puppets in Ukraine be pushing other European countries so hard to get into the conflict when the US has one of the most 'powerful military machines on the planet'? Because that deadly military machine is not at the full disposal and whim of the current Administration. The current administration cannot order the full US military to go to war with Russia. Their 'orders' will be ignored by the "Pentagon". That's the only thing that makes sense here in my view.
Good article. The US will do a Syria false flag chem weapons attack and blame it on Rx as an excuse to enter the war, i am convinced of this.
Another UNZ piece. I now can't trust much of anything and really don't need to. There will be an end to the conflict, neither I nor the pundits can reliably predict what will happen. If we see an effective hit on the Russian fleet in Crimea we will know a lot more. So far the stakes have been low but could go higher.
Another perspective to add to the hopper:
https://www.globalresearch.ca/crisis-ukraine-not-about-ukraine-about-germany/5770269
Quite a sad article that seems like it was written before Feb 24. (Oddly it WAS, in Feb 11, UNZ review). But it was just published by Global. Putin apparently fell for the bait and actually did invade Ukraine! Apparently things had not been going well in his meddling in the Donbas. After the invasion, Germany to the delight of Biden has completed turned on Russia and even changed long term military avoidance.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Saw that but it missed the Russians are losing a number of aircraft from effective air defense that they were not able to take out. Not sure they wish to risk the assets until they can defeat air defense. All quite odd in that the air defense is mostly old Russian gear.
Kyiv has been spared to a degree by the fear of outrage by their Ukrainian "bothers".
Ukraine is almost as corrupt as Russia. The American public is being manipulated again. That’s why we need to stay out of Ukraine:
https://jeffcuttler.substack.com/p/stay-out-of-ukraine?s=w
stick with covid Alex..this war thing is not your lane..i hope this becomes Russias Vietnam but we need to worry about the invasion on our southern border and less about Russias invasion, 2000 Americans a week are dying in our war at home...drug overdoses by fentanyl brought in thru Mexico..thats a lot of dead Americans! Ukraine and Russia are both corrupt hell holes..not our problem !!
Could not agree more. Stop the invasion at our southern border NOW.
Guess the US can't walk and chew gum at the same time. The whataboutism, so boring.
Why the hell do we care about an effective civil war 5,000 miles away more than, well, anything here? It’s not whataboutism when this administration has proven objectively it can’t do more than one thing at a time, or anything right.
The southern border is still wide open
Inflation still out of control
Covid is an “emergency” unless Putin invades Ukraine?? Crazy how Putin invading a country 5,000 miles away ended Covid.
Perhaps you can give some example of Brandon focusing on two things at once in a productive manner?
Because it's not a civil war. It's the biggest war in Europe since WWII and it's having a global impact on energy to food. Which people will learn more about when they remove their heads out of the sand.
It's only having that impact because our gov't WANTS it to. We could just ignore it like we do every other war our gov't doesn't care about. The Biden admin did everything in tehir power to get this party started, because they wanted an excuse to push the price of gas into the stratosphere, so they could push their Green New Destruction.
The only reason it’s having an impact on global energy and fertilizer is OUR sanctions. That’s self inflicted.
You really need to go read about what has actually happened in the region since the fall of the USSR. Bosnia was in the 1990’s and more people died. Bosnia is in Europe.........
How many wars did Trump start? Did Trump multi-task? Just asking for a friend.
To directly answer Trump started zero wars that I aware of, and he seemed to multi-task rather well. I am shocked at how few people even know what the Abraham Accords are. Pre-pandemic we had emissions lower than they had been in decades. I think the Paris Climate agreement is 💩 meant to make the west poorer, but for those concerned about the climate, even pre-pandemic our emissions reductions under Trump were greater than the Pars benchmark. Our ecological regulations were being revised to accomplish good environmental goals rather than create more pointless paperwork. Low unemployment and low inflation allows the masses to fund prosperity which I think is good. His tax reform was long needed. Our corporate rates were far too high to be competitive, and encouraged offshoring of profits. In addition to the Abraham Accords, which many promised but Trump actually accomplished, Trump got criminal justice reform through congress. We were energy independent. When he aimed for terrorist, he hit the terrorist, not weddings or some poor guy and a bunch of kids delivering water.
Trump, for all his flaws, was a more successful president than any I can remember in my lifetime (I was born with Regan in office so I don’t really “remember” him all that much).
Do not mistake my hatred of neocons, which are very much bi-partisan, for dislike of Trump. Trump is not a neocon.
I will most vote for Republicans the next few elections because the democrats honestly scare the crap out of me. They are authoritarian, seek to impoverish our middle class, and promote theories that are harmful and completely detached from objective reality. Many are also neocons wanting endless US intervention in armed conflict.
I will also vote in the primaries because the Republican Party is also littered with war mongering neocons. Sane Republicans have a far better shot of winning primaries where I live and ultimately the Republican neocons are less likely to destroy my kids than the Democrat neocons/ neoliberals who, in addition to war mongering, seem to genuinely despise children and embrace ever increasing totalitarian insanity right here at home.
To be clear, I voted for Trump in 2020, and I believe the world would be a more peaceful and prosperous place had he won. “Mean tweets” bother me substantially less than the 💩 show we’ve been dealing with for 14 months.
My questions about wars and multi tasking were kinda rhetorical. You are on the money about the war mongering neocons. When Trump was elected I seem to recall that many demonrats and snowflakes wanted to move to Canada. I'm curious to know if that is still the case. Maybe life under Trudeau would not quite live up to their expectations.
The Biden administration strategy to weaken the US is working like a charm. His handlers are walking and chewing gum just fine.
It's their fault they empowered Putin to invade Ukraine. He saw the opportunity and he took it. - Biden and his Obama handlers are to blame.
Yes, they provoked it openly - aren’t you curious as to why?
Have you asked yourself why they told Zelensky there was no chance Ukraine could join NATO, but they were going to pretend it could, for a bit? C'mon, Horsey, you're either thicker than a brick, or you're a paid propagandist.
So why don't we do both?
JD Vance answering this exact question
https://thefederalist.com/2022/03/23/why-does-ukraines-crisis-get-more-attention-from-u-s-elites-than-their-own-nations-border/
supporting the ukraine is the new supporting the science
https://summit.news/2022/03/22/poll-vaccinated-people-far-more-likely-to-support-risking-wwiii-over-ukraine/
In other words, people who lap up gov't propaganda like a dog licking up melted ice cream will believe anything they're told.
And if authentic, there is this Ukrainian official who seems to predict this war back in 2019, as a means to get into NATO. Yes there will be death and destruction but we will join NATO, predicted it to happen sometime 2021 or 2022.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1xNHmHpERH8
Yes, he was predicting that one day Putin would wake up and decide it's time to get this empire thing going. He was correct, 100%.
I tend to think there is much we don’t know. And this man is an actor just like Zelensky.
When America was weakest. Wouldn’t you?
Absolutely and Biden with his Obama handlers aide and abetted Putin's objective. They removed sanctions, they stopped the balance of President Trump's lethal military aid to Ukraine and they destroyed America's energy independence making Putin billions richer.
Biden and his Obama handlers gave the green light to Putin's "intrusion" which he said, time to go all-in and take all of Ukraine.
I am from Ukraine. I have also lived in Russia. As of today, Ukraine is considerably more corrupt and lawless than Russia when it comes to socio-economic factors. In political terms, both are equally totalitarian. .
You are not being honest. Here is how I know that: https://www.foxnews.com/world/inside-putins-yacht-photos.
Now, show me Zelensky's yacht.
How about his Florida mansion, and this one? https://www.veteranstoday.com/2022/03/02/oligarch-zelensky-sells-italian-villa-for-4-5-million-euros/
So what? Zelesnky is not a poor man. He was a very popular comedian and film maker. Putin has been nothing but KGB and his yacht only is hundred times the cost of Zelensky's villa. Where did he got his riches from? Any idea?
Well in Ukraine you are allowed to say that Ukrainian government is corrupt, in Russia you are also allowed to say that Ukrainian government is corrupt. That makes it "almost as corrupt", right?
Really? After Z just banned 10 to 11 opposition channels? Lol he and Putin are one in the same with P being smarter
It is normal reaction. I am sure that Russian disinformation warriors presented themselves as "opposition channels". Do you know how many anti-war and anti-Putin channels in Russia now? Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War also.
Lol banning channels for a different POV is normal now. Holy smokes at the moving goalpost
Wartime and traitors in the midst is not "normal." Just say'in.
He did just ban opposition channels. He banned opposition political parties. One of those parties has 40plus seats in the Ukrainian parliament. They were elected by the people, but they have now been banned. Russia is worse, I get it. But Ukraine is not a legitimate democracy.
So that makes Zelenskyy a hero of democracy? Locking up the opposition is the antithesis of democracy.
it's okay guys I speak curious manesz:
You may be right that he is wrong but it's okay because this other guy has been wronger for longer and this other guy from 160 years ago was also wrong and he didn't do wrong things so if he did something wrong and then it must have been right.
It's wartime and Ukraine has a larger fifth column problem than here in the US.
This may come as a shock to some. Russian collaborators are not miniscule.
This may come as a shock to you, due to your bias, but in Ukraine the 5th column is in government.
Yes, there are Putin infiltrators inside the government and around the country ready, eager and able to sell out Ukraine for a rouble.
Most definitely, I have a Reagan Doctrine bias. At least I don't have a head in the sand bias that wishing this away will make things better. It won't.
You've said nothing of substance so far. So I'm going to assume that you're a propagandist. One who hangs out on two substacks. So I'm going to assume that you have some sort of relation$hip with both.
Uh, you definitely aren’t allowed to say the Ukrainian government is corrupt in either Russia or Ukraine. Zelensky started locking his political opposition up in jail, and even banned the Russian language (which is the primary language in eastern Ukraine) to shut down opposition television long before the invasion. Since the invasion he’s banned all political opposition and brought all media under his government control. Putin and Zelensky aren’t as different as we might wish.
Some comments here are blatantly ridiculous. Russian language in Ukraine is not banned. They just proclaimed Ukrainian as official language over there. Wikipedia: All the minority languages (including Russian) remain explicitly protected under article 10 of the Ukrainian Constitution.
When your country is located right next to the aggressive, nuclear armed, warmongering monster, you have to do certain things for protection. When your country is heading to war, or at war (by the way, the war started in 2014 with Russians capturing Donbass and Crimea and billions dollars poured by Russia to penetrate Ukrainian institutions) it is not right time for politics. So, he banned 40 out of 400 plus parliamentarians, that is less than 10%. Did they have chance to win an election? No. Let's reserve our judgement and see if those opposition parties will be allowed to participate in political life after the end of war.
Who told you Russian is "banned" anywhere in Ukraine? Yes, you're a victim or propagator of Russian propaganda.
I’m not a victim or a propagator of anything. I posted numerous articles a links, pre-dating the invasion, backing my assertion.
You have decided to name call because you found the evidence inconvenient.
Typical action of a troll to go straight to name calling.
Here is the evidence that you are full of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_policy_in_Ukraine#:~:text=The%20bill%20would%20have%20made,10%20of%20the%20Ukrainian%20Constitution.
Wikipedia. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. That’s your “evidence”. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Fuck all those EU documents, funerals, the civil war thing that’s been going on, banning Russian language television, removing the primary language for the ethnic majority in the eastern economic hub from public life, locking up if ethnic Russian politicians, thousands of dead, including children, Wikipedia says it isn’t true, so that must be the case!!!
Wikipedia also says the vaccines are safe and effective and saying otherwise is misinformation. For a year it said the lab leak theory had been debunked. The damn thing is it even correct on the longest animal on Earth.
My FIFTH grader, she’s 10, is prohibited from using Wikipedia as a a source for research papers, and it’s blocked at my kids top ranked private k-12 school, because the website is PROPOGANDA and frequently demonstrably wrong.
She's pointed out to you how undemocratic the Ukrainian government was before the Russian invasion and then you tell her how much of a victim she is? You're a propagandist.

Here is the Wikipedia page about Covid vaccines. Gonna use that as a your source on those too???

But in Canada, supposedly a free and democratic nation, if you criticize the government and/or take part in, or support a peaceful protest you may well find your bank account to be frozen and your rights literally trampled on by mounted thugs on horseback.
Canada is not at war with Putin, so trolls wouldn't mind.
Perhaps you can explain this from May 2021 - Zelensky locked up his political opposition long before troops were on the border.

A Reagan reference I see. Another idiot masquerading as a leader of a country.
Ukraine is MORE corrupt than Russia. It is the US money laundering capitol.
Ukraine is the new Timbuktu, nobody should want to go there.
Would love to see your in-depth knowledge on Eastern Europe. But no, I'm not going to your substance. Answer us here.
To repeat:
If the ChiComs invade your home and the US, you'll gladly surrender and urge other to surrender because after all Joe Biden is one demented and corrupt President.
Except Joe Biden isn't brining any Churchillian qualities to the Russian invasion of Ukraine as President Zelensky is doing.
Ok, your turn. We'll wait.
The problem with people like you, Horsey, is that you use sarcasm to ridicule people with whom you disagree. There are people who are better qualified to analyze this situation than me, but you and Alex Berenson aren’t included in that group. By comparing Zelenskyy favorably to Winston Churchill betrays your utter ignorance on the matter.
If my sarcasm as you allege hurt your feelings, I'm sorry. Okay, sorry, not sorry.
If you don't understand the earlier reference to Churchill, that's on you.
It’s not just me. I scrolled up and down, and saw the way you speak to people who disagree with you. No wonder you love Zelenskyy. Nobody’s allowed to disagree with him either. Horsey’s ass.
You can disagree Jeff. You can say whatever you wish and I'm here to offer a bit more historical perspective near and far. Others can differ and do. Have a great day. I've addressed your query below.
P.S. When you can, maybe look up this guy named Ronald Reagan. Some people claim to hold him dear to their political hearts. See also: The Reagan Doctrine.
Does it not matter at all that Zelenskyy has banned opposition political parties in Ukraine? E
Not one of those parties
Sorry. I clicked submit before I intended to. Anyway. Zelensky has banned 11 opposition political parties. Not one of them has expressed support for the Russian invasion. One of those parties has 40some seats in the Ukrainian parliament. Elected by the public. Now those parties have been banned from all political activities. It’s now illegal to disagree with Zelenskyy in Ukraine. That sure doesn’t sound like Churchill to me. The level of ignorance is astounding.
Sure Jeff, my pleasure. Russian sympathizers and traitors don't have to operate as you demand with an announcement. Ukraine has a number of political parties and individuals who are happy to sell out to the enemy. There's a long history of that.
Aren't most Americans aware of the type of person who will happily rat out or sell out others to what people think is the winning team? Or the bully at work or in the neighborhood or in the courtroom who appears to have all the power?
So, about that ignorance. You were saying?
Zelensky sold Ukraine out to the U.S. so that we could fight Russia to the last Ukrainian. Any Ukrainian who disagrees with that policy is obviously an enemy of Ukraine. Good riddance to that lot.
I think this is right on the mark. I hope I don’t get in trouble for saying so.
This may come as a shock but newsflash: Russia invaded Ukraine.
I was saying that you’re a Horsey’s ass. And why do I say that? It’s because I’m insulting you as you insult others because they aren’t in lockstep with whatever you say. And it’s exactly that that makes you Horsey’s ass.
I don't call you any name, Jeff. I just cut up some falsity.
I’m waiting, Horsey
Your analogy makes no sense. If the U.S. were invaded the U.S. would fight. Ukraine has been invaded so Ukraine is fighting. (It would have been smarter of course for Ukraine to not get invaded by agreeing to stay out of NATO, but that's water under the bridge . . .)
So what point are you even trying to make?
I assume that horsey has been hired by Alex.
Alex can't afford me? I've differed with Alex in the past, particularly on the efficacy of Ivermectin used for the ChiCom Virus. He's been pretty good about it and ignored me. 🙃
Not sure how you missed the point. There's a whole litany of folks who say "Zelensky is corrupt" as a premise to ignore Russia invading Ukraine.
Thus the analogy which btw, no one has responded to in any way. You came closes just with a query.
Zelensky as Churchill is a joke. Mind you Churchill as Churchill is also a joke.
If China and the US have a war, your life is over, Horsey. Have you heard of Nuclear Winter?
Certainly have and why the rush to discuss the last ChiCom option? What's the rush? Tom Clancy would never write such a story in a few pages.
Too many people imagine that a war between superpowers will unfold slowly, like a Tom Clancy novel.
In reality, any such war will quickly become an existential struggle for survival, as the sides strive to establish air superiority to cover any planned ground operations. Nuclear weapons will be subject to destruction in their silos and on airfields, and must be used or lost.
For China, the pressure to go nuclear will be especially intense, because their arsenal is so much smaller than the US. But it's highly likely that China and Russia will be allies in the upcoming World War III. NATO war games indicate that Europe will be quickly overrun in a conventional war with Russia, and it's far more likely that NATO would turn to first use of nuclear weapons in a desperate attempt to stop the onslaught.
All over the world, military officials (not to mention armchair generals) have forgotten that a nuclear war cannot be won by anyone, because the ecosystem will be destroyed.
Not implying any timing with the Clancy reference. I find it amazing people are arguing the most important thing to do is lay down and let Russia do as they wish because they have nukes.
Wonder how North Korea and Iran will interpret that position?
It's called "detente". We protect our crucial interests, and assume that they will do the same with theirs.
This is embarrassing, Alex.
First, what does the opinion of a random assortment of Americans have to do with Russian military strategy on the ground? Please answer this one because I don't understand how you like an opinion poll to the literal failure of an operation.
Also, yes many American corporations have left Russia (for now), but the US is not the entire world and the last time I checked, Russian oil is still selling even to western Europe. Russians still have access to the internet. Their economy has not collapsed and in the event that it does, they have their buddy China to back them up.
In fact, they're being paid for their gas in rubles and demanding that Western Europe do the same, which will negatively impact the petro dollar, so pls explain to the class how that's a failure??
I really hope that your Twitter access is reinstated because that's exactly where this post belongs. Sorry to say, but it's delusional, which is exactly what the American public is regarding who's winning what so far.
Exactly thank you. I can think Putin and Russia are in the wrong here and also acknowledge it is true that the US government has had dirty dealings in Ukraine and is not innocent here.
This has been going on for awhile and perhaps is Russia saying 'not anymore pal'. Its more analogous to the Cuban Missile Crisis as a response to our missiles in Turkey IMHO.
Yes. Russia is just as wrong as America was with the invasion of Iraq. Except that in our case, our government lied about the WMDs. Weather Russia is lying about the biolabs and weapons will come out in the wash.
And they are certainly not lying about the West creeping closer and closer to their border. Putin warned about this for years and the West forced him to do this.
The most dangerous place on the planet is sharing a border with Russia.
Look it up. One day, Americans are actually going to learn just a little about history.
All we see is this same repetition of Putin propaganda. The guy has been crying about "the catastrophe" of the fall of the Soviet empire for decades and long before any Soviet bloc country begged to get into NATO and escape the bear of Russian imperialism. He's wanted to redo it for decades.
If you knew even a little history, you'd know at least that much. But you don't. Sad.
^^^ Another expert in Russia's history of imperialism, defending Putin. ^^^
Your analogy is dogs shit. But you don't connect any actual dots so it's double dog shit. 💩
Horsey Ass. Here is a letter to President Clinton in 1997 from 50 top Russian experts in the military, senate, and academia telling him to keep the US promise and stop NATO expansion. The NATO issue has been a huge, and valid, concern for Russia since before Putin. Zelensky and Biden spent late 2021 and early 2022 antagonizing this. It was foolhearty and a continuation of the pro-interventionist, war war war, death death death, Russia Russia Russia of the incompetent neocons that have been spreading poverty and death and misery globally for the last couple of decades. No amount of failure and death gets in the way of their need for more blood on foreign soil.
Stop accusing everyone of not knowing history when you’re ignorant and your own lack of understanding is demonstrable in, well, every comment you make.
https://www.armscontrol.org/act/1997-06/arms-control-today/opposition-nato-expansion
This is exactly right
Here you go again making an ass of yourself insulting people while you don’t know what you’re talking about.
I know and I know you don't know.
I know that you insult people because they dare disagree with you. And I know that makes you a horsey’s ass.
I've addressed your points and I understand that factual offering may upset you. I'm here to help. Have a great evening, Jeff!
Grow up.
Smarten up!
LOL I literally said they are wrong. Piss off FED.
Like is supposed to be "link"
Nonsense. While I am far from supporting Russia's invasion, the current situation is a perfect example of how well pro-Ukrainian propaganda backed by MSM and Big Tech has worked. It is fallacious to compare this directly to COVID propaganda - pro Ukraine propaganda isn't forcing anyone to inject and mask their children. In that sense, it is *perfect*, as it allows for virtue signaling, while the effects are misunderstood and indirect.
Plus, remember, Putin is responsible for the inflation and high cost of gas (and possibly COVID)!
And everything else has been and is always blamed on Russia Russia Russia! They always need an enemy and they always pick Russia don't they?
This may come as a shock but if people would take a minute to learn, something, anything outside of running everything and I mean everything through a domestic policy lens.
Alex is correct. His analogy is his own and that's fine.
Surprisingly, some of us know quite a bit first hand about Eastern Europe and Ukraine. Let's not measure our credentials, please.
We can measure or we can speak to the issue. It's all optional.
What is the issue that you are speaking to? Alex is making the claim that "big lies don't work", so if 80% of Americans have bought into something, it must clearly be true. It is clearly fallacious, regardless of what the "something" is. The other claim is that Russian propaganda would be as effective., despite being completely censored, if only it wasn't "false". This is frankly ridiculous.
80% of Americans know next to nothing about Ukraine and Russia, so I don't blame them for buying into the MSM propaganda. But that doesn't make it not propaganda.
Mine is simple: Russia invaded Ukraine and the Reagan Doctrine.
Call me old fashioned.
You’re telling others to learn while you have no clue of what you’re talking about. It’s fine that you’re no expert. And you still get to have an opinion. But you insult others in the process. Of course, that’s the way it usually is with loudmouths like you.
I invite you once again Jeff, to make a point and I'll be glad to offer additional historical and present perspective of facts addressing that opinion.
It's my pleasure
I’m was interested in your perspective until you put Zelenskyy on par with Churchill. Once I saw that I realized that you’re a lightweight. But I wouldn’t even point that out we’re you not on the habit of demeaning those with whom you disagree.
Churchill as some in history may know wasn't considered exceptional but he rose to the moment. Similarly, President Zelensky has too.
Surely the high cost of gas (and heating oil and propane and natural gas) has more to do with two North American governments who between them have conspired to shut down pipeline construction, decimate the Alberta oil sands extraction, stop drilling within the US, halt further exploration in Canada, add carbon taxes on all fuels, halt fracking, stop construction of new refining capacity, all with the end goal of "zero carbon" whatever that means. So a continent that could be self-sufficient in energy is now dependent on making up it's deficiency in supply on the world markets. It is SFA to do with Putin. We have two of the most incompetent leaders in the west, in Biden and Trudeau neither of whom know SFA about economics, energy, construction, politics, money supply, inflation, or much else for that matter; and do not have an ounce of common sense between the pair of them. All they give a shit about seems to be CRT, masks, injecting anything that moves including babes in arms, censorship, mandates, and generally ensuring that both countries are well and truly FECKED.
Yes but IMO neithet of these two incompetents are making any decisions, they are just following orders from their higher ups, who put them in their positions as their mouthpieces
You might enjoy this song: https://unitedwithisrael.org/watch-palestinian-song-praises-putins-atrocities-threatens-ukrainian-women/
Don't project your preferences onto others.
Is Alex’s position he can see through falsehoods on all things COVID and Pharma, and also validate Western public assessment of a war thousands of miles away?
Apparently it doesn’t occur to him that if 89% of people support one side of a complex geopolitical issue -- like say the support for Bush during the Iraq invasion -- it is likely the result of propaganda.
Or even the coronavirus vaccine. Our state is mandating state contractors be vaccinated. Even after dropping it for the larger public.
Alex wants you to take the SinoVaxx.
Haha. He swallowed the propaganda hard. The biggest thing he misses here is that the USSR and Russia were/are terrible at propaganda. The USA are the world leaders in propaganda. Modern propaganda was invented here. They don't do it because it doesn't work.
It may be time for me to cancel this substack. Love the Covid info, but this take is retarded.
If anyone is interested in what Russia is really up to, I recommend Tom Luongo's blog: Gold, Goats and Guns.
Alex's take is infantile compared to someone who has been studying Russia for years.
Yes. Or listen to an interview of Scott Ritter who actually is an "expert" in these affairs. Here is one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSkpIq3T-Zc. As for what's happening on the ground on a daily basis, there are still a few bloggers who haven't been shut down yet.
Thanks for that link to Scott Ritter's interview!
The Duran had him on, so good.
Thank you so much for the recommendation on Tom Luongo's blog - WOWSA!! What a goldmine (no pun intended) of information backed by historical facts (instead of "polling data"... LOL...Ridiculous that Alex wouldn't see that rake before tripping over it).
There is also a really good interview with Bill Roggio on UnHerd. He's a leading military analyst at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. What he says makes a lot of sense regarding Russian strategy:
https://unherd.com/thepost/bill-roggio-who-is-really-winning-the-war-in-ukraine/
I agree with your statement, and I can’t stop laughing at your profile picture. 😂. I have no idea how you got that on there, but it’s great!!!
Come on Alex, Russia shouldn't have invaded but Ukrainians are resisting because the West is funding it and supplying it with weapons
The UK is literally paying the Ukrainian army. These idiots are determined to drag us into the war.
https://english.aawsat.com/home/article/3550441/uk-send-more-missiles-money-ukrainian-army
God bless UK for that!
I'm sure you'll be just as happy when our major cities turn into mushroom clouds.
So, what do you propose? To drop on our knees and with the tears on our eyes beg Putin and his thugs for forgiveness?
It's not our problem. It's certainly not worth getting us all killed. And you KNOW we'd be doing the exact same thing if the situation were reversed -- it was called the Cuban Missile Crisis.
If you want to make it your fight, go make it your fight. Don't drag the rest of us into it.
Nothing happened in Cuba and no one kills you, or ask you to fight, so you do not have to hurry and accept enemy position.
No one asked you to do anything. No one asked you to serve with people as those from dozens of countries who have gone to Ukraine. You can sit safe at home and just pay the higher energy and food prices which are the benefits of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. (On top of Biden's burden.)
If only there was a few left who went beyond idolizing Ronald Reagan to understanding what the Reagan Doctrine stood for and how it matters now.
You would think the Nuclear Freezniks from the 80s have suddenly spawned into a bunch of Neville Chamberlains today. They are as scared as the damn Branch Covidians.
Look at the whole lot here all repeating the latest talking points from the right of center, "we're the good guys" so let's ignore all this.
Same folks who used to tell us how they revered Ronald Reagan. They don't seem to remember The Reagan Doctrine. Not a good look.
Keep reading, Horsey. I mean it might overcome your shortfalls. Especially if you have an infinite amount of time.
Ukrainians would be resisting anyway. They captured more Russian tanks then they lost.
Ukraine said from day one they would not lay down and surrender their freedom. They didn't do it at the urging of another country. The entire country armed and unarmed is standing up to the Russian invasion.
SMH, history can't be rewritten that fast. 🙄
Great, every country should stand up to invasion by another country. My point was that we can't hide the fact that it's getting massive support from the West to be able to continue fighting.
There's no hiding it; the entire civilized world is behind the effort. Ukraine will need more support as it fights for existence.
Then take your old ass over there and take up arms for a country that has nothing to do with safety or security of the us. Send your kids over there or your grand kids. No thanks. Ukraine is not our problem. Just because Putin is a bad guy doesn’t mean we need to fight this fight. The entire civilized world is dead wrong most of the time. They serve the self interest of there political classes, every one is corrupt. If the us invaded I will have no problem taking up arms and fighting for my country. I’m tired of having our young men killed because of the follies of a corrupt and incompetent political class.
Cheers to that
Well, if I have, it's certainly none of you business, Jim. If you think there is no security issue for the US related to Putin's invasion of Ukraine, I salute you.
Now go gas up at the pump before the price goes up again. Because it's going up and you can elect to see it as unrelated to the biggest war in Europe since World War II. That's your right.
However, pretending I or anyone else has said the US should send boots on the ground when no one has said it, well, now you're just beating up on a poor scarecrow "straw man."
If you like, I can wait so you can do it some more.
LOL now we just call the countries that aren't with us 'uncivilized'.
Repeat: most of the civilized world stands with Ukraine. It's normal as... wait for it.... Russia invaded Ukraine.
If you think that's incorrect, then by all means state your case. Inverting the statement however won't do. Give it a try, "commander." LOL
And when we invaded Iraq, 'the civilized world' stood with us.
It's almost like they have really really shitty principles.
I wish the Ukrainian-Russian war could be that simplistic as your take, but it isn’t. You’re beginning to sound like Kamala..
What's so complicated?
"Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine"
Alex is on the wrong side of the truth on this one ... I'm sure if Mexico wanted to join Russian military alliance and put Russian missiles on our border we would've invaded too (especially if they had a battalion of REAL NAZIS fighting for them)
I mean, it's not like we've had something very similar to that ACTUALLY HAPPEN in our history. We just rolled over and allowed the USSR to put missiles in Cuba, right?
Hey, what are you, a Putin Apologist? A useful idiot? How dare you point that out!
And he's probably antivaxxer too, these "Putin apologists" always are
And Cuba doesn't even have land connection to USA
Lol. Alex, we don’t get Russian propaganda in the US. We get our corrupt government/media propaganda. Of course the majority of Americans are pro-Ukraine. Just like the majority supported CoVid mandates. (Until the truth became obvious.) Also, you are conflating explaining why Russia invaded with defending the invasion. This war could have been avoided.
This is exactly right. This war could have been avoided.
It definitely could be avoided. But likely at the inevitable expense of future total destructions of Russia from the Ukraine-based NATO forces. It's a lose-lose situation for Russia which is cornered by NATO aggression
Sorry, what are the NATO based forces in Ukraine? #PutinBot
I am going to bookmark this post. 90 days from now I'll be back to Laugh My Ass Off.
Yep!
I am usually all for the little guy. However, before the invasion and before the present political structure, Ukraine was a cesspool of corruption with Biden and his son up to their armpits. I admire their tenacity (Ukrane) and hope that they come out as intact as possible. The US must be extremely careful about tweaking a nuclear tyrant. WWIII is just over the horizon.
It is so hard to admit this: Russia is winning. Ukraine is full of corruption and lacking basic defense resources. Ukraine is a small city, a size of Sacramento in terms of GDP. Anyone with means fled the country. As Big Tech blocked any Russian media, we don't know what is on the other side. What Alex Berenson is seeing is what the western media wanted us to believe just like Covid, vaccines and boosters etc. So Alex finally got trapped again after delivering truths on Covid for 3 years. What is sad is the American right also got trapped in the Ukraine story. Who is the saving Christiandom, Biden or Putin? If Ukraine is a country with no money and no army, they should have played right with Russia. But the American left pushed it to be bold without backing it, and Ukraine has nothing but destruction. Alex - pls go back to Covid. I think Russia will prevail, and the US will eventually get nothing from this situation - losing economic and political leadership. Biden did a great job of trashing out the US's standing among the oil producers. The crown prince of Saudi Arabia is not picking up a call from Biden. Wow....unreal. So remember everyone that why all the sudden CNN is telling the truth when they have not been. Ukraine is the problem and Russia is a natural reaction. If Cuba allows a communist Chinese military base in it, the US will decimate Cuba into rubbles in two seconds. the same logic goes to Russia.
Wait, did you just make Putin the savior of Christianity? 🤮 #PutinBot
This is Putin vs, Biden who basically wants to kill babies born by backdating their abortion dates. Biden who wants to hurt his own people by making domestic energy unreliable. It’s Biden who mandated unproven vaccines to kick off people of faith out of all federal And Military roles. It’s Biden who wants to destroy market based economy by introducing regulations after regulations and taking away hard earned American wages to fund his socialist agenda. Putin has a market economy and Christian values in domestic policy intact. Think and compare!
What no one seems to wonder is that if war comes here, who is supposed to fight it? Us deplorables? The people who this administration and the rest of the swells have not only maligned for the past 5 years, but now have sought to ostracize and take our livelihoods away? Those guys? I have a thought. Maybe the Zuckerberg’s and the Dorsey’s should fight the next one. Maybe Hannity with his self-proclaimed ninja skills should assassinate Putin bare handed. He can take Lindsay with him. Maybe Chelsea should pick up a rifle. Bezos and Gates kids? Just a thought. They make it so all you can do is defend your family, friends and loved ones. That’s dystopia. Starting to think that’s the plan.
Not in the least. Did you make Sean Hannity?
Agreed!!!
Alex stay in your swim lane on vaccines b/c you are clearly right there. As for Ukraine and Russia, we don't know jack-sh*t in this fog of war. Russia had its justifications but the Red army is also notoriously offensively inept without massive allied support. Finland kicked their asses in 1939 and this is probably a repeat. Russia still "won" the winter war by annexing 10% of Finland and making Finland a neutral state to this day. I expect the same outcome here in Ukraine.
Newsflash he was a journalist prior to Covid, writing with against-the-stream bravery on several subjects. You may disagree w/him, but his “lane” isn’t a one topic subject matter. Never has been.
Finland is moving as public opinion toward NATO membership. Their former Prime Minister said as much the other day. Everyone in the neighborhood got the (Putin invasion) message. Sweden will likely be acting similarly too even with Putin's sniping nuclear threat against both.
Christ, are you telling me you see right through the covid propaganda but you just fall right back in line for the Ukraine propaganda?
You aren’t even going to question the narrative?
You need to listen to Scott Horton, the “Alex Berenson” of war.
Stick to covid
