Put away your Freud!

When the Soviet Union fell the new Russia federation was promised by our secretary of state James Baker that west would not move,"one inch Eastward".

At that time there were 12 NATO Nations now there are 30 west has been moving steadily into areas that have been under Russian power or Russian influence for 300 years.

The Obama administration staged a coup in 2014 to depose the legally elected Ukrainian government because it was friendly with the Russian federation.

That's what's going on EU aggression backed by USA.

None of us are getting out of this world alive. We should always strive to do the right thing. What is that? I don't know at this point, but one thing I've learned over the last two years is all governments lie all of the time. What we think we know based on the news at hand from our government and our media is absolutely not what is going on.

What if Russia has reason to take out these locations? There is more to the story. We need to stay out of it. Ukraine is a money laundering pit and we don’t need to sacrifice American lives.

Putin planned this and said so for 20 years but it was all but ignored in the West and the corporate DNC Media. Sadly, if people paid attention to the recent speeches by Putin they would know his intent in Ukraine and beyond. It's a colossal failure of complete self-indulgence this is ignored. Yet, despite the overwhelming failure of the West, and great odds, Ukraine is fighting hard with fierce determination. Tonight, Kyiv will face the worst air assault with Russia stifled across the country but attempting to get armor into the capital. These are the dark days brought on by Putin a KGB thug and Biden's Obama handlers who emboldened him.

Ukraine has been part of the Russian Empire and the USSR for hundreds of years. When the USSR disintegrated, Ukraine became an independent coutry. There were solid agreements that NATO would not expand further east from its then border. But NATO did expand and now Ukraine wants to join. If that happens, NATO with nukes would be right at the edge of Russia. It is as if Russia paid off Mexico and stationed nukes there. How would we like that. Besides, many Ukrainians fought on the side of the Nazis in WW2 and committed many aitrocities and Kyiv has many neo-nazis in the Govt, which btw was installed by the CIA in a coup which toppled the legitimate govt of the country. Ukraine is now a cesspool of corruption and a cash cow for many corrupt politicians in the US, and has 11 US bioweapon labs within its borders. It is the poorest country in Europe with a per-cap GDP of $3,000. Is this the place for the West to take a stand which could end with nukes??

A little known fact about the Cuban missile Crisis was that Krushchev put missiles in Cuba AFTER the US put missiles in Turkey. JFK defused the situation by secretly agreeing with Krushchev to remove the US missiles if Krushchev removed the Cuban missiles. And thus we are all still alive today. If you want to make judgements on who is the good guy and who is the bad guy, you MUST review some history. Here are some starters on Ukraine to balance the one sided "history" we get in the mainstream media.

Alex, it looks that you have no idea what you are talking about. Read about US biolabs in Ukraine (Biological Threat Reduction Program), just google "azov and aydar" to see modern nazis in Ukraine since 2014 and read about the war that is fueled by Ukraine government against Donetsk and Lugansk for almost 8 years. You clearly saw how MSM lied for the past 2 years, but now you apparently believe them. Sad to see that you take no lessons from life.

Oh yes, poor wittle Ukraine, getting picked on by Mad Vlad... You're huffing the Deep State's poison propaganda.

If Mexico had Chinese funded biolabs right on our border, was a money laundering and human trafficking center for China (well okay that part of the analogy is real), and a Mexican state populated by people who were ancestrally American wanted to break away, so Mexico starts shelling them... Would the US be justified in attacking?

Because that's pretty much what's going on from the Russian POV. They're rumored to have hit 7-10 US DoD funded bioweapons research labs. Putin was complaining about these labs in recent months, even asked the UN to intervene. Zelensky - Mr Photo Op who really expects people to buy that he's playing GI Joe (well apparently some people are dim enough...) is and has been a globalist/Deep State puppet. And about as legitimately elected as Biden, from what I hear.

You're parroting the official line, more or less, and I see a lot more people doing the same. Pretty sure, after seeing this, that nothing will ever change. You'll all be vaxxed within 2 years once they frighten, enrage, and propagandize you a little more. We get what we deserve, and deserve what we get.

Damn, how did Alex go so quickly from doubting corporate news to swallowing it blindly? U.S. helped stage a coup in Ukraine in 2014 and supported actual neo-Nazis there. The place is a corrupt kick-back haven for the children of U.S. politicians (Hunter Biden is just one of them).

NATO has been encroaching on Russia for decades now, and none of Putin's attempts at peaceful dialogue & diplomacy ever worked. Imagine an anti-U.S. organization moving to induct Canada into its ranks and installing military hardware there that could strike the U.S. within minutes. How do you think the U.S. would respond?

Interesting that of all people Alex Berenson has such limited understanding of what's happening. If I wanted to hear this take (US needs to help the "poor" democracy of Ukraine), I'd listen to Lindsey Graham. Ukraine is not a democracy, it's a regime installed by democrat party sponsored by George Soros, and the corrupt Obama admin. It's a corrupt money laundering machine not only for the democrat party in US, but the entire "elite" class. Prime example - they take YOUR tax dollars, send aid to Ukraine and Hunter gets a job. There are a lot more if anyone is ACTUALLY interested in wanting to know what's going on. And finally, when you keep putting pressure on Putin, over the last 20 years breaking all agreements, what do you expect to happen? I have no sympathy for either side.

Wubya senior, worlds then most powerful military, marched into Eye-Rack for 72 hours then called a halt withiut attempting to take Baghdad in 1990. Total Air Superiority.

2003, major combat operations went on for 26 days to dismantle the regime. Massive shock and awe bombardment for days in lead up. Total air superiority again. No outside help or resupply for Eye-Rack. 26 days.

Ukraine has all manner of help being funneled to it. How many battle hardened private contractors have been inserted into their military?

No shock and awe bombardment.

Putin could have taken out the whole lot within 72 hours using killer drones, terminator bots, hyper sonic weapons, massed artilllery and armor. Tactical nukes for Nazis. He didnt do that. Instead he is sacrificing his own troops to minimise casualties and damage to infrastructure.

Perhaps this is tougher for him politically at home, but they are planning to win the peace as well. Heroes are being born, alliances solidified, everyone being made to show their hand while low intensity conflict rages. Europe being given a scary reminder of days of yore. New trading r”arrangements being establishments.

Rather, is the geopolitical game board being upended, as Tom Luongo so aptly put it. Welcome to the new world, and not the one that Obergruppenfuhrer Klaus Schwab and his myrmidons ordered, either.

Maybe Putin will just set the fearsome Chechens loose on all the western fundedcNazis with orders to leave none alive, instead of nuking them as they cower among civlians.

Instead of assuring Putin that Ukraine would not become a part of NATO, the Biden Administration gets to sell weapons and munitions, distract folks from illegal mandates and the failed, needless vaccines while demonizing the Putin and blaming inflation and a failing economy on Russia's invasion. Putin can reinforce his thug persona by looking tough, flexing his military muscles and diminishng his apparent paranoia. Meanwhile a lot of innocent Ukrainian civilians and soldiers and Russian soldiers will be maimed and/or die. War, the number one money maker on the planet once again captures the greedy corrupt politicians.

The idiots and their corruption of America’s influence in the Ukraine plus trying to get every country around Russia to be a part of NATO is the match that has produced this completely avoidable conflict that could engulf the entire world in war. The complete incompetence of present leadership in all branches of US government has placed the entire world at risk. The western world leaders have literally completely and seemingly with relish rendered their nations impotent with a fake pandemic forced their military to get toxic shots that have done god know how much damage to what was once a strong and proud military to do what? Make Klaus Schawb the megalomaniac that has poisoned the minds of so many western leaders plus Bill Gates with his young leaders academy happy. What kind of treasonous madness. Every one of these psychopathic traitors need to be rounded up and put at the very least behind bars for their deeds for enabling these globalists to work towards and envision that they will gain dominion over us all as they pick up the pieces of the world that they are so busy destroying. So with the world at risk will these American leaders still be preoccupied with wearing useless masks, mandating toxic poison shots, pushing for the wholesale slaughter of babies and of course making sure we don’t offend men pretending to be women so they can dominate women’s sports. Sorry I forgot we also need to make sure every felon and illegal alien can vote as many times as they want. I don’t know about you but seeing America’s culture descend into some sort of perverted abis is sickening and has put us all at risk.

The flaunted Russian army - LOL. Posting messages on social media that they had to buy their food at local places. What a joke.

This war could have been avoided if Brandon had some balls. But he is a weak and afraid leader. He uses fear to drive policy. An alert president would have started countering Putins moves long ago. The Ukraine Air Force and air defenses could have been upgraded. But No! Mask mandates and racism. Thats all he ever says. A no fly zone could have been established and enforced by NATO.

Just had to get this off my chest at the midnight hour. If I post it to Facebook I'll be banned for life! Biden has had the political savvy to avoid making a single intelligent remark in his entire career. I've loathed him ever since his vain and fatuous smirk presided over the confirmation of Clarence Thomas and the public humiliation of Anita Hill. When he took over from Trump I knew the world was in for it. He is as deeply evil as his son (and many a Roman emperor) and is smiling and picking his teeth over the chaos he has unleashed on the world, mainly to destroy the evidence of how he and the Pelosi family milked Ukraine for personal profit. He really doesn't seem the least bit troubled over the situation. Trump, vulgar buffoon as he is, would never have permitted this invasion. It's easy to shed tears over carnage 5000 miles away, but everyone who put Biden in office, because of their hatred of redneck Americans, is responsible for this.

I could care less about Ukraine. The US along with NATO has consistently crept eastward to surround Russia and caused this confrontation. Putin doesn't like NATO missiles surrounding Russia any more than the US didn't like Russian missiles in Cuba in 1961. Pull out the missiles, never let Ukraine in NATO, return to the original NATO European countries, stop sending Ukraine military weapons and let the Russians and Ukrainians fight it out or come to a compromise. The compromise would quickly be reached if NATO and US got out of the way.

There is something wildly off about this war. First US intelligence insists Russia will invade while Ukraine and Russia insist they won't. Making this the first thing the Biden administration has gotten right. Then Russia invades and in a video appearance striking similar the one in which he said he wouldn't invade Ukraine, Putin explains why he invaded Ukraine. Now days into the invasion the Russian army has reportedly, demonstrated jaw dropping displays of legalistic-al incompetence. Has anyone else seen the video of tanks running out of gas? Crimea was taken in a day because of an overwhelming display of force, obviously Putin knows that works. And I am as inspired by the reckless acts of defiance and courage on the part of the Ukrainians as anyone, but this too was inexplicable not expected by our so called intelligence. And why is the media coverage so lacking? Where are the satellite images, reporters embedded with troops, interviews with diplomats from Poland, Belarus, Moldova?

Which brings me back to my first question; What the hell is going on?

so ignorant! repeating pnac propaganda! ignoring what putin has said and the opinions of other diplomats in india and china.....

this is all on biden, sending stingers and javelins, he could have responded to putin last november! none of what is being supplied to ukraine has anything to do with the security of usa or germany who get 40% of their gas from russia.

you only know from the neocon-progressive morons in the swamp.

russia wants security. moving nato to kiev puts the nuclear tripwire 1000km from moscow, the chance of a first strike by usa is too dangerous for any country. see jfk oct 1962. that would mean the chance of a mistaken exchange with 4 minutes decision time is increase a thousand fold.

selling, paid with usa aid, offensive weapons goes along with above and putin wants them out.

but why would putin accept biden's word. clinton reneged on the deals made that got the red army out of germany w/o a shot fired! obama orchestrated the maidan farce.

then there is the maiden coup orchestrated by the cia and nazi forces in kiev and the de-russification since 2014 of 13 million russians in ukraine.

putin is the sane one here!

and he bogs down and he might just tac nuke em, bc the javelins and stinger sent by usa caused him casualties...... or maybe take out a us navy capitol ship in the med!

The US State Department and the so called Intelligence Community have been deeply involved for many years in using Ukraine to undermine Russia. The Ukrainian forces of corruption thought they had it made with the West and could poke the Russian bear with impunity. Then the Western elites declare war on fossil fuels and empower Putin. Guess what, Putin waits for puppet Biden to be elected and they invade. A deal could have been hashed out in the last 20 years to make Ukraine neutral. But the elites prefer war.

Kind of disorienting to see how many on the anti-mandate side are also apparently Putin apologists. Not “don’t risk nuclear war for a country we don’t have treaty obligations to,” but outright “Vlad is just misunderstood.” Guys, Ukraine wanted in NATO - for reasons that should now be obvious - and my kid would also like a pet unicorn - doesn’t mean it’s likely to happen. And even if it did, the idea that Ukraine would ever pose any kind of security threat to Russia is laughable. I’m not saying we should go to war, but that doesn’t mean we need to excuse the inexcusable.

Be careful not to rely on the same news sources that not to long ago claimed that the Taliban would never ever take Kabul.

Pretty much all the news about Ukraine comes from the West and Ukraine, as Russia chose to completely shut down its information stream and with Russian military only releasing snippets. Even the Russian state sponsored media is being shut out of the loop.

As to what is really going on the ground, I find it helpful to focus on the places where actual fighting is taking place, though it is hard to get any of that confirmed.
