The good news: even without much Western help, Ukraine appears to be standing up for itself, exposing the lie that this is anything but a war of conquest.
The bad news: Ukrainian resistance raises the stakes enormously. A quick win would show the dominance of Russia’s military and increase Putin’s leverage over the rest of Eastern Europe. A prolonged fight does the opposite. No one can be overly impressed with Russia’s performance so far.
Maybe the Russian army will suddenly break through. Otherwise, at least some level of escalation appears inevitable.
Of course, Russia has the artillery and air force to level Kiev if it likes. But mass civilian casualties would hardly match the Kremlin’s propaganda. And at some point the West might feel obligated to get involved, whatever the risks.
On the other hand, what if Russia tries to keep the invasion relatively light and casualties mount for weeks or months without a decisive win? I don’t pretend to know the machinations of the Kremlin’s inner circle, and Putin seems to have complete control. But this is his war, and everyone knows it. Could he survive losing it? Would his ego even permit him to walk away?
Of course, it’s very early days yet. Perhaps Russia will break through in the next week.
But with every day that the Ukrainians fight, the risks to Russia and Putin - and thus to the world - mount. We all may have forgotten about RAND and Mutually Assured Destruction and blast radii and the rest, but Putin hasn’t. And the nukes are still there. The risk is very, very low, but it’s a little higher today than it was last week for sure.
So what happens next? The choice - as it has so far - will be the Kremlin’s.
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.
Germans are PISSED about this war so they are bringing NATO's promise about never expanding eastward up NOW. Why are they pissed? Because Bidet and the pentagon instigated this war in order to kill a pipeline between Germany and Russia. Here is why:
Yup---this war in Ukraine is all about fossil fuels---and the NWO Great reset. Biden's buying oil/gas from Russia at the same time he's condemning them. Figure it out yet?
The Propaganda machine has shifted gears. Any MSM headline regarding Ukraine is about public opinion persuasion .....you know....Mass Psychosis Formation......Oh ,yeah, that doesn't exit. Silly Me.
Nah we have natural gas. This is about natural gas not oil, for electricity production. It’s cheaper & easier to transit it in pipelines, it can be shipped but it’s more complicated & expensive. It needs to be compressed & liqufied then put into those liqufied natural gas tanker ships that look like they have balls on them. You wouldn’t want one of those things exploding.
That is such a profound point. An Irish film maker, concerned about fracking came to the U.S. to make an investigative documentary, Frack Nation. What he found is that the U.S. has the most stringent policies in the world in energy production. If we truly care about the environment, and world peace, we must produce energy responsibly, and provide it as quantum energy.
There is an alternate route for the pipeline. Guess the country nearby in control that will win from this conflict. Three guesses and the first two don’t count.
America our Leadership wants windmills and Solar panels they shut down oil and gas here in America 🇺🇸 I think Putin is losing this fight without any airport take over as long as Putin doesn't have this the worse it gets for Putin.
the fact that only 36% of Ukrainians are "fully vaccinated" and less than 2% are partially vaccinated might have a lot to do with their government encouraging average citizens to take up arms and engage in gorilla warfare in the streets
Are these the CDC numbers? And is Anthony Fauci Walensky and David Frum making sure everyone had their mRNA shots before they take up arms? Is North Korea Iran and China sending in Aid supplies and weapons as well intelligences to help fight against Russia aggression.
Biden is going to end up being hated by every single group. His instincts are horrendous and his ego knows no bounds. Yes, nobody has a bigger ego than Trump. However his instincts are far superior to Biden.
I have always thought Susan Rice is making most of the decisions. That is Obama’s girl and like Biden she has awful instincts. However, Biden and his wife are so arrogant and high on where they have gotten, he may be making more decisions that we imagine. Periodically we hear people working near to him are very upset. Do you know Peter Daou? He says he personally knows many around Biden and is very concerned they cannot handle this mess. Today it is impossible to know what we hear is truth or fiction. I remember hearing that VP Pence frequently called Biden for advice. If that is true Pence is an idiot and may be the mole. Who would ask Biden the time of day?
I am 🇨🇦 & I have thought that also… just sharing that from my perspective as 🇨🇦 the cards sure read that way. Biden is just too much of a loose canon & honestly… he is “just the face”. My opinion of course.✌️
It doesn’t help that the whole country, and most of the world, knows that Biden and his crime family have been on the take from Ukraine, and pretty much the whole world, for years. Kind of hard to get folks to rally around you when they know you’re a crook.
This war in Ukraine would not be happening if Trump was President.
All politicians have Egos. Who cares about ego! I want a leader who looks out for the best interest of my country not a freaking demented puppet who has commies as the puppeteers.
Trump is not a politician. He does not parse his words. He has no filters. This upsets many people that have been trained to be coddled and lied to by politicians. So Trump says what many feel but are afraid of the pushback which I can understand. Trump has endured misery since entering politics. Hate him, but he sacrificed much to try to turn this boat around.
i feel this war is driving the momentum for globalist control even more than covid did. Now they will have a sacrificial martyr. nothing gonna stop em now
Diabolical🤮& yes I am🇨🇦 The truth about who he really is may or may not be allowed for the world to know but WE know he is EVIL to the core & that’s enough to make me never stop speaking up & living FREE✌️🇨🇦✨
Ireland has been absolutely submerged as a free country when it joined the EU; it had to accept divorce abortion and the promotion of pathics.
Putin is a Christian and a better representation of civilization than the decadent European Union which does not allow the mention of God in its Constitution as Pope Benedict pointed out.
"Putin is a Christian": I believe that would come as quite a surprise to Christ. "And you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him." 1 John 3:15
As I said above, no one is saying that he's a good Christian saint. He is nominally Christian. We're talking about civilizational issues here, not who goes to Sunday School.
I agree that open trade with mutual consent is usually a potence of peace and friendship. But there is something to avoid in that equation... Dependency. Once one party becomes dependent on any particular trade partner for a vital necessary resource, they are handing over leverage that can actually end badly for one or all parties involved.
Example? Sure, Germany with it's plain idiotic energy policies.... And, hello United States with it's complete lack of foresight in manufacturing.
Mutually beneficial usually, or there would be no voluntary trade of any kind. But by "dependency" I mean something quite different. I mean an arrangement by which a nations own security is put at direct risk as a result. That my local carnival supply store sells gobs and gobs of Chinese made kazoos means nothing. The only dependency that may result is too the business owner and the next time a 6 year old is having a birthday party. On the other hand, the fact that nearly all our antibiotic medications are made overseas is far more an issue. Some products and commodities are essential to national security and others simply aren't. Energy is one such commodity.
I actually agree (except that dependency on Chinese junk is not as innocent as people tend to think). But there is another angle, which is that Russia-Germany alliance is something that the anglo world is afraid of and cannot let it happen. There is a reason for all those world wars happening between those two countries (instigated by outside parties). Now same with Ukraine-Russia. They all have to be divided and in misery
And I quite agree that cheap Chinese consumer goods are not necessarily innocent, though not a direct threat to security. But given enough time and money transfer (essentially, trade imbalance) YES, the boat can rock and capsize.
It is interesting that the neoliberal world order would promote greater and greater centralized power in the West, while playing the part of liberators and "sovereignty" protectors anywhere their influence is opposed.
Russia also provides the world with Fertilizer, Ammonium Nitrate. The World gets 2/3rds of it's fertilizer from Russia. Are Nations going to stop importing that resource??
Nope. Globalism made us all somewhat dependent on each other. My mom back when I was a kid, warned me this would have dire consequences due to bias. Life is fluid. Countries all have different priorities. Today this one order idea is nonsense. No way the US and other nations are not aware of the dependency of fertilizer from Russia. They just looked the other way and never tried to reduce dependency. Now they look stupid and hands are tied.
Picture China installing tanks and missiles all around northern Mexico, how would the U.S. react? And what to think about the millions and millions of dollars looted from the place by Joe, James, Mary, and of course Hunter Biden? The Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said this raised QUOTE "extreme criminal, counter-espionage, and money laundering concerns". And what country was the #1 donor to The Clinton Foundation? Was it Saudi Arabia? Was it Germany? No, it was Ukraine. Where did that money come from, and where did it go, and why? Anyone buying the cartoon Putin Bad Man He So Bad Look How Bad! version should open their eyes a bit wider. As David Callum said: "I am what is known as a "conspiracy theorist". I believe men and women of wealth and power conspire. If you don't think so then you are what is known as "an idiot". If you believe stuff but fear the label then you are what is called "a coward".
David Frum needs to reach out to his friends in North Korea, Iran and China get about 100.000 from each country as David Frum as the leaders and fight in Ukraine with the Ukrainian people against Russian troops and Putin. To gain complete control back for the Ukrainian people. David Frum can come in through the black sea.
There has been a war in that region for many years, with thousands of dead Russians including children right next to the Russian border, but no mention of it in the western press.
NATO has been aggressively pushing toward Russia's borders for over 20 years despite agreements not to. The west got around it with that thing called the EU. All EU states become members of NATO automatically. Ukraine after becoming a NATO member would have nuclear bases built on it border with Russia giving Russia about a minute and half of an incoming attack.
Putins (aggressive) actions didn't just happen in a vacuum because he felt like it. He's has no choice but to take measures to protect his country and its people from US/NATO aggression.
Not really. The fact that you say so shows that you're still listening to the media liars. How dumb does that make you?
Might wanna look into the reports of Putin bombing multiple US DOD run bioweapons labs in Ukraine. And ask yourself why did he invade, REALLY? He'd even gone so far as asking the UN to intervene and investigate the United States' bioweapons capabilities, after asking and demanding that "our" government and their corrupt puppets in Ukraine stop manufacturing the next plandemic on his front door step.
Also read since American DOD created those labs (the total of 15 now or so), Ukrainians started having all sorts if strange disease outbreaks, with hundreds affected and a few dozen died. There was also a documentary about experimenting on children in orphanages and schools (i.e. children were given injections at schools without parents knowing and then all started getting sick). Western "liberators" were doing all sorts if atrocities there while blaming Putin all along. Who knows what he knew about those biolabs and if we were not in for some "surprise outbreak" of some deadly disease from some Ukrainian chicken farm?
Yes Putin instigated this war and yes Joe Biden set the scene (see current oil prices) to give Putin the $$$$ to finance his army. Without Joe Biden's actions Putin would not have had the wherewithal to invade Ukraine in the first place. Yay green energy. <sarc>
John Kerry and David Frum was in Russia selling the Largest Gas station in the world Green beans Energy. Why isn't North Korea Iran and China not in Ukraine making sure that their is no famine or genocide going on from Putin and the Russian forces.
You don't think the CCP is in on this as well? They depend on Gas and oil from Russia they have been doing war exercises both Russia and China for more than 10 years. And I believe there are Russian Pipe Lines go through Ukraine as well.
The US caused Putin to try to reinstate the Soviet Union? Good grief. No doubt Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if the 2020 election had not been stolen but that doesn’t make the US responsible for Commie Putin doing what commies do.
Yes, the US forced Russia’s hand. Ukraine in NATO is a red line and Putin has made that clear. Also the US puppet government has been waging war on ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine for years.
It is hard for some to understand there is big globe out there, with many grievants not remotely connected to the US. This is an old war, moving boundaries for 2k years. Look up: Holy Roman Empire, Ottoman Empire, Charlemagne, the EU. Same territory, same old border enemies.
The West has no Moral Authority after what they have done and are doing to their own Citizens for the last two years. Millions have been harmed or died due to Medical Tyranny in the West. Blocked early treatments, Money making Deadly protocols in our hospitals, failed and deadly covid shots, job loss, suicide,drug overdoses, crime, murders , exploding inflation that the governments lies about. What Moral Authority does the West have?? People are dying here too because of the Clot Shots. The MSM covers nothing about the carnage in the West forced upon its citizens. But Poor, Poor Ukraine. The Hypocrisy is sickening.
Alex's synopsis was depressingly propagandist so I was very heartened to see your comment first. The situation between Russian and the Ukraine is the Cuban missile crisis in reverse (I'm repeating something I heard last night). Of course Russia doesn't want NATO, the USA et all on it's doorstep. Putin set out his demands last year (at least) regarding NATO and requests for negotiations went largely ignored. This war could have been prevented by the west, there was ample opportunity.
There are some reports, I don't know how credible that Ukraine had 8 bio-labs a la Wuhan supported by the US, that have been destroyed so far.
I don't know how true the bio labs are as I said. Nothing surprises me these days however. The report I saw linked to the US Embassy in Ukraine's website:
He's not a communist and neither was Eisenhower - he was a golfer.
The new communism is world corporatism that Putin is fighting against along with our much beloved president Trump - our last legally elected president.
The West certainly doesn't support Traditional Family values and Faith. The governments of the West goes out of their way to harm Family values and bash the Christian Faith. Why do you think there is huge moral decay in the West? If anything goes...nothing will survive.
Russian revolution came about from weak leadership and collapse of the government during world war I.
Soviet Union was never the worldwide communist threat that it . No revolution came about the only way Communism spread was not through revolution but through world war II to the so-called revolution came about through the occupation of the Soviet army and then the Soviet Union fell.
The Russian revolution was only a side show to world war I .
The real revolution was the American entry into world war I and the Americanization of the planet.
Russia is no longer a communist country Putin is a Catholic Orthodox convert he's the only leader who defends the family a man and a woman who procreate children he is outlawed homosexual adoption of children in his country
The countries that joined NATO since 1991 joined voluntarily to be part of the civilized world - we didn’t ‘invade’ them it was the will of their people who were freed from communism. It was all the rage in the 1990s. Consider that Obama as a Senator proudly led the charge to further disarm the Ukraine in addition to the nukes Ukraine gave up in 1994. They did that under the Budapest Memorandum in exchange for being welcomed into the civilized western community and markets with a promise that we, the UK and Russia would protect them. Obama then ignored (or maybe participated) Russia’s violation of the Budapest agreement when they invaded Crimea in 2014, Russia did that with at least tacit support of the US and NATO. Obama/Hillary meanwhile destabilized the Middle East with the Iran deal and continued to voluntarily rely on Russia for oil and support Nordstream 2. They allowed the NATO countries to get rid of nukes and otherwise become reliant on Russian oil in the name of Climate Change.....hmmm
Putin had to wait for “Obama” to return to launch this attack which is why on Biden’s first day he ended our energy independence and became a customer of Russia once again. What’s his reason? He has many but most obvious is access to the Black Sea. Key oil transport route. It’s not because he has some romantic notion of restoring the mighty USSR -
Our cooperation is part and parcel of a Hate America/Globalist initiative which Obama was and Biden is leading in concert with other world leaders and oligarchs who want a Great Reset, or Build Back Better or whatever the F they want. Biden at the very least has serious conflicting interests. They continue to make decisions that weaken our military and country and take us out of world power status.
That having been said the US seems to also have had an opportunity to de escalate this situation by asserting Ukraine would not be joining NATO, which is true just based on criteria,
AlSo, we should recognize that our mishandling of the situation over time has once again has created instability (Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Vietnam,....our resume of failure is impressive) AND that Ukraine is NOT a freedom loving democracy, has genuine internal conflicts with Russia in its Eastern border areas whose people lean more Russian (read Minsk agreement) and that Hunter Biden’s intimate association with Ukraine is highly suspicious.
Like the Scamdemic - there is more to this than meets the eye
It's a good opinion and well stated, especially your last paragraph. I'm sure there's much more too as Patrick above explained. It can't be ignored that Putin took Crimea after Yanukovych was ousted.
Few things first: NEVER EVER THERE WAS A TALK ABOUT NATO NOT EXPANDIN EAST. This is pure fabrication on the Yeltsin's part, and there is Gorbachev's confirmation from 2014 that expansion was not a subject at any time. Only negotiations there were Was the subject of Germany reunification and no non-german NATO troops will be stationed in East Germany. But what's more: Russia promised a few things, as well. First of all there was the guarantees of the newly risen from Soviet republics independent states, like Georgia, Ukraine, and a host of other states. Not to mention when USSR was breaking apart, it wasn't painless. Ask Lithuanians, Latvians and Estonians... Ussr fell, it was supposed to be hearts and kisses? Right. So now we move forward to 1994 Chechenia...
Now that I remember it, 2020 Ukraine is following the same pattern as 1994 invasion...
Russia in last 30 years - so after USSR instigated no less than 5 armed conflicts...
I am genuinely sorry but this article is piece of bull crap for two reasons:
1. It never explained WHY and HOW West's meddling in Ukraine (and other countries in the region as well, and some other places bordering Russia, too) threatens Russia? Article economically doesn't have much sense - Europe was prime customer for Russian energy (oil, natgas) and other resources. You cannot even imagine what is produced in Russia and sold in EU, so don't even start - it is A LOT. Conversely EU sells a lot in Russia, too - because Russian economy is mostly resource export, it needs buy a lot of stuff it doesn't make or makes in low quality. So first half of the article's premise is simply not true (flooding Russia with Western goods).
2. What is the existential threat to Russia coming from Ukraine (be it an independent state or a sock puppet)? It is not explained. That Ukraine is a failed state is an oversimplification - it is country with widespread corruption, private interests clashing with public in action of government officials there, it is poor and somewhat unstable. All true, but is is even worse in Russia and Belarus, for example. Ukraine would not end up in EU for a LOOOOONG time. Joining NATO was also out of the question, but again: what is the danger of that to Russia? Do you seriously agree with the Author that NATO is seeking a pretext to attack Russia? Are you high on something or just plain stupid? [Sorry for being blunt, but have no way to put it nicer]. No Army in EU is an offensive force, and will not be in 40 years. In fact, only two countries in EU have armies above world average: France and Turkey. Who of these (or anyone else, for that matter) do you think would (even if could) attack Russia?
I get all the hype from all sides, but believe me, as a pair of Mark I eyeballs ON THE GROUND in EU, that see what happens in Ukraine, Poland, Germany and few other countries without "filters" set up for consumers of all that fake info in the (broadly meant) West, what you hear in media (not necessarily mainstream) is most likely oversimplified BS.
Ukraine has always been friendly and a part of Russia and its history.
Having a state hostile to you on your borders as a member of NATO is not good for your country.
If the Chinese signed an alliance with Mexico to place missiles there it would not be good for USA.
Russia has a right to exist.. statesmen are concerned with creating a balance of power to keep peace not surrounding another Nation and threatening its right to exist.
That is how I see it based on information out there. It really is not hard to piece together. If you have not already done so, see Condi Rice on CNN a few days ago try to explain who Putin is. I was stunned what she said. I was stunned CNN Fareed tripped her up with what he was supposedly told.
People congregate on this site because they realize they were and are being fed a nonstop fabric of utter and complete lies about Covid. But now somehow the exact same lying liars are to be believed, simply because they have changed the subject line from "Covid Bad!" to "Putin Bad!". So the "MSNBC Covid Bulletin" (sponsored by Pfizer) is complete BS, but the "MSNBC Ukraine Bulletin" (sponsored by Raytheon) is gospel truth? Hint to people: you are being played. Again.
Q1: How many does he get? Angry Gramps Joe Biden. Does he get 2 per year (his current pace), or should we make it 3? What about 4? How many monumental, wildly expensive, incredibly dangerous, utterly humiliating, and completely avoidable FOREIGN POLICY FIASCOS FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA can we tolerate? How many can we survive? 6, countem 6, friggin months ago and THE EXACT SAME PEOPLE were in Kabul causing and then cheerleading and gaslighting and lying about the BIGGEST DEBACLE IN A GENERATION. AND NOW THERE'S THIS.
Q2: When? When do people finally figure out that this shell of a regime was put in place because people knew IT WOULD ACCELERATE THE DESTRUCTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
Q3: (Just because) What are the locations of the bioweapons laboratories in Ukraine? Who controls them? Which U.S. government health and intelligence agencies are associated with them? What kinds of gain-of-function research are they performing, and what pathogens are currently stored there? Who owns the patents on the pathogens and that are stored there? Lastly, who funds them?
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.
It does not matter if you do not believe in the occult. They - the true puppet-masters of this world - very much do and it greatly influences their strategic decisions.
There was a book and movie about a similar incident to speculation that the Large Hadron Collider opened a portal to another dimension through which something may come through. Very good movie, The Mist, which didn't cop out with a happy ending for the protagonists. I think you or, the people you write about, have been reading and watching too many books and movies like that, and about Satan.
Ever notice that all the military personnel and researchers who report about (implied extraterrestrial) UFOs interfering with nuclear missile systems and such create an eirie echo of the post-World War II, 1951 sci-fi movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and it's message of forced nuclear disarmament by concerned extraterrestrials?
"A top boffin at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) says that the titanic machine may possibly create or discover previously unimagined scientific phenomena, or "unknown unknowns" - for instance "an extra dimension".
"Out of this door might come something, or we might send something through it," said Sergio Bertolucci, who is Director for Research and Scientific Computing at CERN, briefing reporters including the Reg at CERN HQ earlier this week."
That isn't the author of the linked article saying that, that's the Director of Research and Scientific computing at CERN. It seems you may have the author of the linked article confused with the CERN director who - according to you Clark - has apparently spent too much time watching too many SciFi/Horror movies.
Or, sci-fi authors get their cues from fanciful hypotheses of theoretical physicists and cosmetologists, and practical physicists trying to confirm those hypotheses.
The Truth is so much more than the average person can handle. I remember the LHC was initially run on 9/12/07 I remember bc I was flying to Geneva from NY, the pilot did a flyaround of the 2 blue beams from Lower Manhattan (we departed on 9/11) and I was aware of the LHC and wondered if we would land in an alternate universe. Of course we did as the days passed and we watched the news about the global finance meltdown. This all had occult stamps. Dig at your own peril.
Also, Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008 (last time that happened was from 1760 to 1777, start of First Industrial Revolution and American Revolution) and will remain there until 2024. Pluto in Cap means enormous hardship and suffering, to achieve transformation and rebirth. I'll always remember how Merkel announced in January 2020 that a great transformation was ahead and that we'll leave our old world behind. Strange choice of words at the time, but obviously she knew what was coming.
I personally started to feel great unease about the world in 2008, a foreboding (which is why I looked into the astrological aspects back then). And that feeling only intensified each year since.
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.
Thank you for bringing this up... I’ve been wondering about these labs! Have they all been targeted by Russia, and did they succeed in destroying them? I wouldn’t blame them a bit. No more bio weapon labs please!!
Right. Declare a war, get on your horse and go first, and take your family with you. That is how wars were done in old times and that is how it should be. We would probably have some peace if all were dead !
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.
Please. Take the NATO/globalistt propaganda somewhere else. See my main comment. You're parroting the BS of the same people who've spent two years trying to kill you.
Romney backed down like the coward he is. Obama and Candy made fun of him then, and during another sit down debate where Obama just sneered at him. Putin sneered at Romney too telling US media he did not want Romney. Of course then media insisted it was important to elect a president that world leaders could work with. So to please Putin, elect Obama again. Putin played our stupid media and politicians, and Romney became the most bitter man next to Kerry and Gore.
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??
Many atrocities were committed on both sides of WWII. Some countries joined Germany after suffering atrocities under Stalin. There was no good solution for those who suffered under communism
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.
Dear God please tell me you're joking... I assume, but so many people are suddenly back to listening to the media that I can't be sure.
Funny that the US government would have "Ukrainian" biolabs listed on its own websites... Which they memory holed earlier today, when the news started getting out.
It's not even 4chan. It's just the fact that the AZOV Battalion militia adopts fascist imagery and some beliefs, and Zelensky has been using them to do dirty work, with CIA arming and training them.
The saker is ok but he ignores how Putin is still pushing technocracy crap including vac passes... But Alex is way off, probably because he's a bit slow like with ivermectin and cannabis.
The saker said sars-cov-2 was natural based on the word of one person who was Russia's leading expert. He has been proven wrong on that one. He also says the vaccines are what they are advertised for and "within 2 years you'll all have taken it". LMAO No and No.
I find his (and Col Cassad) coverage of east europe, russia and eastern orthodox christianity very good. It is a very pro-russian view but not wrong and somewhere between that and the western media lies reality.
Anyone who is pushing "vaccine passports" (aka Digital ID) can NOT be trusted. That is the ultimate control grid. Once you accept that you can NEVER say "no" to your government and their owners. You will no longer have rights. Just privileges that can be revoked anytime you have the temerity to say "no".
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.
Putin is a lot of things—stupid is not one of them. Plus there is ZERO credible media reporting. Just propaganda making it almost impossible to discern the facts
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?
He's not the only one. Mostly its those with a Republican bent on Twitter the same way. Neocon is embedded in that party deep. You can fight pharma, but not the pentagon.
This is how I feel. Somehow we were listening to NPR tonight and it was all about how the government is working with FB and Twitter to clamp down on “misinformation” about the Russia Ukraine conflict. Once I heard that word I knew it’s all lies all over again. I have no idea what’s actually happening but if our media is shouting it 24/7 it can’t be true.
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.
What do you think happens in war? I didn't hear Berenson or anyone else talk about people dying daily in say Yemen. That's because people like you were not propagandized to care. But you are propagandized to care about Ukranians which I bet you couldn't even point out on a map before a week ago.
Uhhh, my family is Russian and Ukranian so what. The only reason you are told to care about Ukraine, and not Yemen, is because Ukraine is where the democrats get to launder your tax dollars to enrich themselves. They want that to stay in place and Putin is fucking it up for them.
Yep - we don't hear much talk about Yemen for example. We don't even hear much talk about the southern border, or Chicago - which should be much more important to people in US - people dying there every day too.
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 US is once again arrogant and never has had war brought home. This could easily bring it home. Russia isn't Libya or Syria or Vietnam, the Russian could hit America on its land in no time. Having a senile (Vaccine-hurt?) POTUS can lead to a catastrophe. Praying this de-escalates. Fed up of gas-led wars.
Why you rooting for Ukraine? That’s literally rooting for the CIA and the Nazi squads. Maybe you should watch some unbiased reporting. Here’s a good example.
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.
You're still thinking of politics as though it's just like they portray on the television. Biden wanted this war provoked, but I don't think they meant to lose their DOD bioweapons labs in Ukraine.
He underestimated Vlad, or at least his handlers did, thinking hed lob some missiles across the border, get himself sanctioned real good n proper, and Nord Stream 2 would be no more... And Russia would soon follow, the recalcitrant thorn in the globalist's side, which won't seem to adopt all the lovely Great Reset ideals. Europe would be back buying US and Middle Eastern oil, and all would be well.
Now Putin has used their own "defending democracy" BS against them, as well as using the "Nazi" line, and apparently bombed Fauci and company's bioweapons labs.
Putin played Brandon like the fool he is. He got the pipeline, we didn't. He got billions in US oil Revenue and rising oil prices. As far as the bioweapons labs - who knows.
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 always figured the Trump- Putin relationship was a little like a very wise person told me years ago. " Never sleep with or piss off someone crazier then yourself". Trump isnt the king of style points ala the previous resident of 1600 Penn, but i dont think Vlad was interested in a brawl.
Besides if 45 was still pres those 200 aircraft that included 40 50 F 15, 40 50 F 16s and 40 50 A10 Warhogs that the AF just retired would have been in Ukraine 2 or 3 months ago. Hence no invasion.
Just finishing a 4 day battle w covid and a huge thanks to all for the info on this page....btw the Iver is good stuff sorry Alex..
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!
Can you imagine FDR purchasing gas and oil from Adolph Hitler during WWII? It would be insane to fund our enemy. Right? But wait---that's exactly what Uncle Joe is doing to Ukraine. Have you figured out whats really going on here? Yup--this is the war the 'Green New Deal' has dreamt about.
FDR gave lend lease to Russia for far less than what he charged Great Britain. He shipped them butter while Americans had to make do with margarine. He ignored FBI warnings about Soviet agents. He gave them uranium claiming if we didn’t the Russians would know you could build an A bomb. He asked for far less money for compensation of seized assets than the Russians were willing to pay for recognition in 1933. Read “Stalin’s War”.
If Russia's goal was to conquer Ukraine, Ukraine would now be conquered. Kiev might also be uninhabitable for a good while, but Ukraine would be conquered.
Ya know, reading comments from people who are literally parroting propaganda from the same media who they just watched killing people via lies, demonization, misinformation, for two solid years, makes me wonder what the point is... I get why Klaus Schwab wants you all dead, now XD
Alex should focus on the corona virus updates because he's making himself look like a fool with his comentaries about the Ukrainian crisis, this war is a direct product of the US, get your head out of your ass Berenson
Ukie resistance is propaganda. Russia will not rush in the cities after lessons learned in first chechnya war. They will circle city and mop up UkoNazis
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.
Considering the recent studies around the nano lipid mrna shots doing reverse transcription and messing up DNA I would think a lot of people might soon be coming down with multi system cancer . The only other way that happens is radiation . Are we going to have a few nuclear bombs go off to hide the blame of experimental vaccines ? Otherwise the blame will be on the shots . When it comes to avoiding responsibility and hail and stuff ….
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.
You may want to read this, and the previous article on the “strategic targets”taken out in Ukraine. 6 bioweapon facilities funded by guess who? Why did Putin take Chernobyl? Was he concerned of a FF attack against it?
Perhaps the dumbest thing this guy has ever uttered: “ The risk is very, very low.” Also, having seen this kind of thing before (during the recent election, e.g.), I wonder, why does he think it necessary fir him to comment on something he knows nothing about? I mean, he has been a great resource on all things Covid, about which he knows a staggering amount. Why this? I just don’t get it. Of course, everyone is entitled to an opinion.
the only reason ukraine is still standing...most people in ukraine want to become a part of russia...and putin do not want to hurt those...if it was other country...it would be leveled in a few hours...
Now’s a good time for everyone to read Follett’s new book “Never”. Basically small stupid decisions by leaders lead to bigger ones and ultimately Nuclear war.
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.
Funny you should mention that:

Germans are PISSED about this war so they are bringing NATO's promise about never expanding eastward up NOW. Why are they pissed? Because Bidet and the pentagon instigated this war in order to kill a pipeline between Germany and Russia. Here is why:
http://ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2022/february/15/the-crisis-in-ukraine-is-not-about-ukraine-its-about-germany/
Yup---this war in Ukraine is all about fossil fuels---and the NWO Great reset. Biden's buying oil/gas from Russia at the same time he's condemning them. Figure it out yet?
All jockeying for position in the New World Order...
Or Maybe the Russians don't want US Nukes on their border..
No, they don't but all of the above too.
If the general public ever figures this out as their gas to fill their cars keeps rising, he should be very afraid.
The Propaganda machine has shifted gears. Any MSM headline regarding Ukraine is about public opinion persuasion .....you know....Mass Psychosis Formation......Oh ,yeah, that doesn't exit. Silly Me.
Too many people still stuck on the scamdemic to even realize this, sad sad sad
We got oil here , but Biden doesn’t want to reopen or oil production because that would go back to Trump’s leadership
Just tell Uncle Joey that we are drilling for vodka he won't know the difference. Uncle Joey doesn't know if he is alive or not!
he was when he rubber stamped the maidan revolution and the burisma take
Nah we have natural gas. This is about natural gas not oil, for electricity production. It’s cheaper & easier to transit it in pipelines, it can be shipped but it’s more complicated & expensive. It needs to be compressed & liqufied then put into those liqufied natural gas tanker ships that look like they have balls on them. You wouldn’t want one of those things exploding.
That is such a profound point. An Irish film maker, concerned about fracking came to the U.S. to make an investigative documentary, Frack Nation. What he found is that the U.S. has the most stringent policies in the world in energy production. If we truly care about the environment, and world peace, we must produce energy responsibly, and provide it as quantum energy.
There is an alternate route for the pipeline. Guess the country nearby in control that will win from this conflict. Three guesses and the first two don’t count.
America our Leadership wants windmills and Solar panels they shut down oil and gas here in America 🇺🇸 I think Putin is losing this fight without any airport take over as long as Putin doesn't have this the worse it gets for Putin.
the fact that only 36% of Ukrainians are "fully vaccinated" and less than 2% are partially vaccinated might have a lot to do with their government encouraging average citizens to take up arms and engage in gorilla warfare in the streets
Are these the CDC numbers? And is Anthony Fauci Walensky and David Frum making sure everyone had their mRNA shots before they take up arms? Is North Korea Iran and China sending in Aid supplies and weapons as well intelligences to help fight against Russia aggression.
Source of Covid vaccination rates in Ukraine: https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations
and weakening Russia. They are hell bent on doing it .. at all cost, "to the last Ukrainian!" Our Thief in chief basically said that.
Biden is going to end up being hated by every single group. His instincts are horrendous and his ego knows no bounds. Yes, nobody has a bigger ego than Trump. However his instincts are far superior to Biden.
Do you really think biden makes any decisions?
I have always thought Susan Rice is making most of the decisions. That is Obama’s girl and like Biden she has awful instincts. However, Biden and his wife are so arrogant and high on where they have gotten, he may be making more decisions that we imagine. Periodically we hear people working near to him are very upset. Do you know Peter Daou? He says he personally knows many around Biden and is very concerned they cannot handle this mess. Today it is impossible to know what we hear is truth or fiction. I remember hearing that VP Pence frequently called Biden for advice. If that is true Pence is an idiot and may be the mole. Who would ask Biden the time of day?
Agree rice obama makes sense. Im not a fan of pence but it could be true I thought he failed with the task force or as you say a mole.
If that is true, Pence is a traitor.
but i wonder who stoked all the radical policy. who keeps them in line?
Obama and Susan rice calling the shots.
I am 🇨🇦 & I have thought that also… just sharing that from my perspective as 🇨🇦 the cards sure read that way. Biden is just too much of a loose canon & honestly… he is “just the face”. My opinion of course.✌️
It doesn’t help that the whole country, and most of the world, knows that Biden and his crime family have been on the take from Ukraine, and pretty much the whole world, for years. Kind of hard to get folks to rally around you when they know you’re a crook.
This war in Ukraine would not be happening if Trump was President.
All politicians have Egos. Who cares about ego! I want a leader who looks out for the best interest of my country not a freaking demented puppet who has commies as the puppeteers.
Trump is not a politician. He does not parse his words. He has no filters. This upsets many people that have been trained to be coddled and lied to by politicians. So Trump says what many feel but are afraid of the pushback which I can understand. Trump has endured misery since entering politics. Hate him, but he sacrificed much to try to turn this boat around.
Like button doesn't work: like like like like.
Spot on.
i feel this war is driving the momentum for globalist control even more than covid did. Now they will have a sacrificial martyr. nothing gonna stop em now
China and Russia might have something to say about that.
Rus is having his say right now. CCP they admire. And globalism doesnt mean they have the whole globe :)
Presidente poo pants eastern folly
You can compare him to Trudeau. At least Biden has a dementia problem that can somewhat explain him away. Trudeau is just....
Diabolical🤮& yes I am🇨🇦 The truth about who he really is may or may not be allowed for the world to know but WE know he is EVIL to the core & that’s enough to make me never stop speaking up & living FREE✌️🇨🇦✨
He is a champion hair sniffer
well, probably he didn’t.

Patrick you seem to love Putin
I much prefer him to the European Union.
Ireland has been absolutely submerged as a free country when it joined the EU; it had to accept divorce abortion and the promotion of pathics.
Putin is a Christian and a better representation of civilization than the decadent European Union which does not allow the mention of God in its Constitution as Pope Benedict pointed out.
If Putin is a Christian, I’m the queen of England.
Turn off CNN it's just a hate machine
Putin is at least a nominal Christian, he protects the Church and enforces traditional norms while keeping the globohomo network out.
Saying someone is a Christian isn't meant to necessarily denote that they're a righteous, humble person living a perfect Christian life, you know.
Yep
"Putin is a Christian": I believe that would come as quite a surprise to Christ. "And you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him." 1 John 3:15
Fortunately Putin is a Catholic and not a radical fundamentalist who believes in a sacrament called confession.
I'm reminded the woman accused of adultery and Christ just traced his finger in the sand when they wanted to Stone her .
You too are a judge and jury and executioner. That's not the way of Christ.
As I said above, no one is saying that he's a good Christian saint. He is nominally Christian. We're talking about civilizational issues here, not who goes to Sunday School.
Not a fan of European Union but definitely not a fan of Putin
Yes, yes! https://youtu.be/APPjVlUA-gs
I agree that open trade with mutual consent is usually a potence of peace and friendship. But there is something to avoid in that equation... Dependency. Once one party becomes dependent on any particular trade partner for a vital necessary resource, they are handing over leverage that can actually end badly for one or all parties involved.
Example? Sure, Germany with it's plain idiotic energy policies.... And, hello United States with it's complete lack of foresight in manufacturing.
Any trade is mutual dependency, same with US relying on China for everything on the world depending on US dollar.
"Any Trade"? No, not really.
Mutually beneficial usually, or there would be no voluntary trade of any kind. But by "dependency" I mean something quite different. I mean an arrangement by which a nations own security is put at direct risk as a result. That my local carnival supply store sells gobs and gobs of Chinese made kazoos means nothing. The only dependency that may result is too the business owner and the next time a 6 year old is having a birthday party. On the other hand, the fact that nearly all our antibiotic medications are made overseas is far more an issue. Some products and commodities are essential to national security and others simply aren't. Energy is one such commodity.
I actually agree (except that dependency on Chinese junk is not as innocent as people tend to think). But there is another angle, which is that Russia-Germany alliance is something that the anglo world is afraid of and cannot let it happen. There is a reason for all those world wars happening between those two countries (instigated by outside parties). Now same with Ukraine-Russia. They all have to be divided and in misery
And I quite agree that cheap Chinese consumer goods are not necessarily innocent, though not a direct threat to security. But given enough time and money transfer (essentially, trade imbalance) YES, the boat can rock and capsize.
It is interesting that the neoliberal world order would promote greater and greater centralized power in the West, while playing the part of liberators and "sovereignty" protectors anywhere their influence is opposed.
The US warned Germany that dependence on Russian oil/gas would leave them at Russia's mercy.
Russia also provides the world with Fertilizer, Ammonium Nitrate. The World gets 2/3rds of it's fertilizer from Russia. Are Nations going to stop importing that resource??
Nope. Globalism made us all somewhat dependent on each other. My mom back when I was a kid, warned me this would have dire consequences due to bias. Life is fluid. Countries all have different priorities. Today this one order idea is nonsense. No way the US and other nations are not aware of the dependency of fertilizer from Russia. They just looked the other way and never tried to reduce dependency. Now they look stupid and hands are tied.
Trump said it to their faces
Trump warned. The establishment laughed at Trump.
Putin instigated this war.
Picture China installing tanks and missiles all around northern Mexico, how would the U.S. react? And what to think about the millions and millions of dollars looted from the place by Joe, James, Mary, and of course Hunter Biden? The Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said this raised QUOTE "extreme criminal, counter-espionage, and money laundering concerns". And what country was the #1 donor to The Clinton Foundation? Was it Saudi Arabia? Was it Germany? No, it was Ukraine. Where did that money come from, and where did it go, and why? Anyone buying the cartoon Putin Bad Man He So Bad Look How Bad! version should open their eyes a bit wider. As David Callum said: "I am what is known as a "conspiracy theorist". I believe men and women of wealth and power conspire. If you don't think so then you are what is known as "an idiot". If you believe stuff but fear the label then you are what is called "a coward".
For a measured second opinion try this http://thesaker.is/russian-bear-wants-justice/
Russia is fully entitled to justice. The west has treated the country and its people like trash the past 20 years.
David Frum needs to reach out to his friends in North Korea, Iran and China get about 100.000 from each country as David Frum as the leaders and fight in Ukraine with the Ukrainian people against Russian troops and Putin. To gain complete control back for the Ukrainian people. David Frum can come in through the black sea.

Very interesting read. Thanks for sharing.
Actually, The West did. Do your own Research. Don't listen to the MSM Bullshit.
Who dropped the bombs? Not saying we’re not involved but Putin started this aggressive move against Ukraine
There has been a war in that region for many years, with thousands of dead Russians including children right next to the Russian border, but no mention of it in the western press.
That doesn’t change the fact that Putin just invaded Ukraine
NATO has been aggressively pushing toward Russia's borders for over 20 years despite agreements not to. The west got around it with that thing called the EU. All EU states become members of NATO automatically. Ukraine after becoming a NATO member would have nuclear bases built on it border with Russia giving Russia about a minute and half of an incoming attack.
Putins (aggressive) actions didn't just happen in a vacuum because he felt like it. He's has no choice but to take measures to protect his country and its people from US/NATO aggression.
Not really. The fact that you say so shows that you're still listening to the media liars. How dumb does that make you?
Might wanna look into the reports of Putin bombing multiple US DOD run bioweapons labs in Ukraine. And ask yourself why did he invade, REALLY? He'd even gone so far as asking the UN to intervene and investigate the United States' bioweapons capabilities, after asking and demanding that "our" government and their corrupt puppets in Ukraine stop manufacturing the next plandemic on his front door step.
Also read since American DOD created those labs (the total of 15 now or so), Ukrainians started having all sorts if strange disease outbreaks, with hundreds affected and a few dozen died. There was also a documentary about experimenting on children in orphanages and schools (i.e. children were given injections at schools without parents knowing and then all started getting sick). Western "liberators" were doing all sorts if atrocities there while blaming Putin all along. Who knows what he knew about those biolabs and if we were not in for some "surprise outbreak" of some deadly disease from some Ukrainian chicken farm?
Yes Putin instigated this war and yes Joe Biden set the scene (see current oil prices) to give Putin the $$$$ to finance his army. Without Joe Biden's actions Putin would not have had the wherewithal to invade Ukraine in the first place. Yay green energy. <sarc>
John Kerry and David Frum was in Russia selling the Largest Gas station in the world Green beans Energy. Why isn't North Korea Iran and China not in Ukraine making sure that their is no famine or genocide going on from Putin and the Russian forces.
You don't think the CCP is in on this as well? They depend on Gas and oil from Russia they have been doing war exercises both Russia and China for more than 10 years. And I believe there are Russian Pipe Lines go through Ukraine as well.

Bidet. Beautiful.
yes, and usa/qatar lng is much more expensive and needs a huge increase in lng infrastructure.
biden is a swamp puppet!
You're 100% correct, on all of that.
https://rumble.com/vvwwtk-ukraine-conflict-centered-around-gas-pipeline-of-course.html
I believe the US is driving this war, instigated in order to prevent nordstream 2 and closer ties between Europe and Russia.
The US caused Putin to try to reinstate the Soviet Union? Good grief. No doubt Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if the 2020 election had not been stolen but that doesn’t make the US responsible for Commie Putin doing what commies do.
Yes, the US forced Russia’s hand. Ukraine in NATO is a red line and Putin has made that clear. Also the US puppet government has been waging war on ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine for years.
Soviet bot
People don't like the truth and any complication to their simple world view
Only you know the truth & Putin’s motivations?
There seem to be a few of them here
Yep
It is hard for some to understand there is big globe out there, with many grievants not remotely connected to the US. This is an old war, moving boundaries for 2k years. Look up: Holy Roman Empire, Ottoman Empire, Charlemagne, the EU. Same territory, same old border enemies.
trump would never send stinger, javelins and aid them with money for longer range offenses.
you are so wrong!
Evidently Biden didn't have a problem with NS 2 since he removed the sanctions Trump had set.
Don't forget about UN Ageda 2030and decarbonization, this will insure it happening
usa has been raging against europe buying energy from russia since the 1970.......
We are currently getting gas from Russia. Biden’s “tough” sanctions excluded the gas we get from them. How tough of him
Yes...and why is no one talking about this???
Correct---100%. Hard to live with so many ignorant people.
The West has no Moral Authority after what they have done and are doing to their own Citizens for the last two years. Millions have been harmed or died due to Medical Tyranny in the West. Blocked early treatments, Money making Deadly protocols in our hospitals, failed and deadly covid shots, job loss, suicide,drug overdoses, crime, murders , exploding inflation that the governments lies about. What Moral Authority does the West have?? People are dying here too because of the Clot Shots. The MSM covers nothing about the carnage in the West forced upon its citizens. But Poor, Poor Ukraine. The Hypocrisy is sickening.
Ukraine and Russia is the end of Covid. headlines.
Alex's synopsis was depressingly propagandist so I was very heartened to see your comment first. The situation between Russian and the Ukraine is the Cuban missile crisis in reverse (I'm repeating something I heard last night). Of course Russia doesn't want NATO, the USA et all on it's doorstep. Putin set out his demands last year (at least) regarding NATO and requests for negotiations went largely ignored. This war could have been prevented by the west, there was ample opportunity.
There are some reports, I don't know how credible that Ukraine had 8 bio-labs a la Wuhan supported by the US, that have been destroyed so far.
I’m not familiar with Ukraine bio labs. I do know that Ukraine is one of the capitals in shady financial transactions.
I don't know how true the bio labs are as I said. Nothing surprises me these days however. The report I saw linked to the US Embassy in Ukraine's website:
https://ua.usembassy.gov/embassy/kyiv/sections-offices/defense-threat-reduction-office/biological-threat-reduction-program/
Of course, it doesn't mean that there are bio labs.
Putin starts the war and you call EU aggressor. Russian propagandist here?
US started the mess in 2014, there has been a war since then, never stopped. It was horrible, thousands of people died.Strange you don't know it...
Maybe they can grab Russian owned Bitcoin as well.
Never mind. The US govt is going after Russian assets in the US now. :)
Yes

Putin's deadly gamble.
The EU did not invade Russia. You don’t get a prize for your inversion.
Sorry Pathic.
Putin is the only world leader that stands against inversion. He supports the family and is a Christian.
Do you seriously think he supports the family & is a Christian? That's ridiculous. He's a Marxist/Leninist.
He's not a communist and neither was Eisenhower - he was a golfer.
The new communism is world corporatism that Putin is fighting against along with our much beloved president Trump - our last legally elected president.
Alex has some infiltrators
The West certainly doesn't support Traditional Family values and Faith. The governments of the West goes out of their way to harm Family values and bash the Christian Faith. Why do you think there is huge moral decay in the West? If anything goes...nothing will survive.
Yeah right. What do you think of the old Soviet Union Patrick?
Russian revolution came about from weak leadership and collapse of the government during world war I.
Soviet Union was never the worldwide communist threat that it . No revolution came about the only way Communism spread was not through revolution but through world war II to the so-called revolution came about through the occupation of the Soviet army and then the Soviet Union fell.
The Russian revolution was only a side show to world war I .
The real revolution was the American entry into world war I and the Americanization of the planet.
My dad escaped communism during the Russian Revolution. I’d beg to differ
Russia is no longer a communist country Putin is a Catholic Orthodox convert he's the only leader who defends the family a man and a woman who procreate children he is outlawed homosexual adoption of children in his country
The countries that joined NATO since 1991 joined voluntarily to be part of the civilized world - we didn’t ‘invade’ them it was the will of their people who were freed from communism. It was all the rage in the 1990s. Consider that Obama as a Senator proudly led the charge to further disarm the Ukraine in addition to the nukes Ukraine gave up in 1994. They did that under the Budapest Memorandum in exchange for being welcomed into the civilized western community and markets with a promise that we, the UK and Russia would protect them. Obama then ignored (or maybe participated) Russia’s violation of the Budapest agreement when they invaded Crimea in 2014, Russia did that with at least tacit support of the US and NATO. Obama/Hillary meanwhile destabilized the Middle East with the Iran deal and continued to voluntarily rely on Russia for oil and support Nordstream 2. They allowed the NATO countries to get rid of nukes and otherwise become reliant on Russian oil in the name of Climate Change.....hmmm
Putin had to wait for “Obama” to return to launch this attack which is why on Biden’s first day he ended our energy independence and became a customer of Russia once again. What’s his reason? He has many but most obvious is access to the Black Sea. Key oil transport route. It’s not because he has some romantic notion of restoring the mighty USSR -
Our cooperation is part and parcel of a Hate America/Globalist initiative which Obama was and Biden is leading in concert with other world leaders and oligarchs who want a Great Reset, or Build Back Better or whatever the F they want. Biden at the very least has serious conflicting interests. They continue to make decisions that weaken our military and country and take us out of world power status.
Just my opinion
That having been said the US seems to also have had an opportunity to de escalate this situation by asserting Ukraine would not be joining NATO, which is true just based on criteria,
AlSo, we should recognize that our mishandling of the situation over time has once again has created instability (Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Vietnam,....our resume of failure is impressive) AND that Ukraine is NOT a freedom loving democracy, has genuine internal conflicts with Russia in its Eastern border areas whose people lean more Russian (read Minsk agreement) and that Hunter Biden’s intimate association with Ukraine is highly suspicious.
Like the Scamdemic - there is more to this than meets the eye
It's a good opinion and well stated, especially your last paragraph. I'm sure there's much more too as Patrick above explained. It can't be ignored that Putin took Crimea after Yanukovych was ousted.
I cannot believe how many are still on the " Russia evil" mantra. Suprised at Alex..thought he had more on the ball. Disappointing.
Biden & Obama love the Russian government, as can be seen by the gas we’re currently purchasing from them
The Trump Administration froze billions of Venezuelan assets in the US. Biden and Congress are definitely Putin’s bitch.
If you can find it anywhere, Oliver Stone's Ukraine on Fire from 2016 provides a historical perspective for the deep divisions in the region.
Few things first: NEVER EVER THERE WAS A TALK ABOUT NATO NOT EXPANDIN EAST. This is pure fabrication on the Yeltsin's part, and there is Gorbachev's confirmation from 2014 that expansion was not a subject at any time. Only negotiations there were Was the subject of Germany reunification and no non-german NATO troops will be stationed in East Germany. But what's more: Russia promised a few things, as well. First of all there was the guarantees of the newly risen from Soviet republics independent states, like Georgia, Ukraine, and a host of other states. Not to mention when USSR was breaking apart, it wasn't painless. Ask Lithuanians, Latvians and Estonians... Ussr fell, it was supposed to be hearts and kisses? Right. So now we move forward to 1994 Chechenia...
Now that I remember it, 2020 Ukraine is following the same pattern as 1994 invasion...
Russia in last 30 years - so after USSR instigated no less than 5 armed conflicts...
You, sir, are a liar and a delusional to boot.
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/ukraines-deadly-gamble
I am genuinely sorry but this article is piece of bull crap for two reasons:
1. It never explained WHY and HOW West's meddling in Ukraine (and other countries in the region as well, and some other places bordering Russia, too) threatens Russia? Article economically doesn't have much sense - Europe was prime customer for Russian energy (oil, natgas) and other resources. You cannot even imagine what is produced in Russia and sold in EU, so don't even start - it is A LOT. Conversely EU sells a lot in Russia, too - because Russian economy is mostly resource export, it needs buy a lot of stuff it doesn't make or makes in low quality. So first half of the article's premise is simply not true (flooding Russia with Western goods).
2. What is the existential threat to Russia coming from Ukraine (be it an independent state or a sock puppet)? It is not explained. That Ukraine is a failed state is an oversimplification - it is country with widespread corruption, private interests clashing with public in action of government officials there, it is poor and somewhat unstable. All true, but is is even worse in Russia and Belarus, for example. Ukraine would not end up in EU for a LOOOOONG time. Joining NATO was also out of the question, but again: what is the danger of that to Russia? Do you seriously agree with the Author that NATO is seeking a pretext to attack Russia? Are you high on something or just plain stupid? [Sorry for being blunt, but have no way to put it nicer]. No Army in EU is an offensive force, and will not be in 40 years. In fact, only two countries in EU have armies above world average: France and Turkey. Who of these (or anyone else, for that matter) do you think would (even if could) attack Russia?
I get all the hype from all sides, but believe me, as a pair of Mark I eyeballs ON THE GROUND in EU, that see what happens in Ukraine, Poland, Germany and few other countries without "filters" set up for consumers of all that fake info in the (broadly meant) West, what you hear in media (not necessarily mainstream) is most likely oversimplified BS.
Ukraine has always been friendly and a part of Russia and its history.
Having a state hostile to you on your borders as a member of NATO is not good for your country.
If the Chinese signed an alliance with Mexico to place missiles there it would not be good for USA.
Russia has a right to exist.. statesmen are concerned with creating a balance of power to keep peace not surrounding another Nation and threatening its right to exist.
Thank you, you are spot on, https://www.bitchute.com/video/euWugGPEozyh/
Even a few months ago I might not have believed this video but after witnessing Canada and the truck protests I can only say yes, lots of truth there.
If Canada can freeze truckers crypto wallets, how hard would it be block Russians?
A lot of well-read intelligent commenters here Alex!
You should be proud!
That is how I see it based on information out there. It really is not hard to piece together. If you have not already done so, see Condi Rice on CNN a few days ago try to explain who Putin is. I was stunned what she said. I was stunned CNN Fareed tripped her up with what he was supposedly told.
People congregate on this site because they realize they were and are being fed a nonstop fabric of utter and complete lies about Covid. But now somehow the exact same lying liars are to be believed, simply because they have changed the subject line from "Covid Bad!" to "Putin Bad!". So the "MSNBC Covid Bulletin" (sponsored by Pfizer) is complete BS, but the "MSNBC Ukraine Bulletin" (sponsored by Raytheon) is gospel truth? Hint to people: you are being played. Again.
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/ukraines-deadly-gamble
Q1: How many does he get? Angry Gramps Joe Biden. Does he get 2 per year (his current pace), or should we make it 3? What about 4? How many monumental, wildly expensive, incredibly dangerous, utterly humiliating, and completely avoidable FOREIGN POLICY FIASCOS FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA can we tolerate? How many can we survive? 6, countem 6, friggin months ago and THE EXACT SAME PEOPLE were in Kabul causing and then cheerleading and gaslighting and lying about the BIGGEST DEBACLE IN A GENERATION. AND NOW THERE'S THIS.
Q2: When? When do people finally figure out that this shell of a regime was put in place because people knew IT WOULD ACCELERATE THE DESTRUCTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
Q3: (Just because) What are the locations of the bioweapons laboratories in Ukraine? Who controls them? Which U.S. government health and intelligence agencies are associated with them? What kinds of gain-of-function research are they performing, and what pathogens are currently stored there? Who owns the patents on the pathogens and that are stored there? Lastly, who funds them?
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.
Yup. 100 percent they all lie about even the smallest issues.
Yes, they lie even when the truth would suit them better. Why? Because they believe that deception sends strength to their master: the father of lies.
http://tritorch.com/occult
It does not matter if you do not believe in the occult. They - the true puppet-masters of this world - very much do and it greatly influences their strategic decisions.
There was a book and movie about a similar incident to speculation that the Large Hadron Collider opened a portal to another dimension through which something may come through. Very good movie, The Mist, which didn't cop out with a happy ending for the protagonists. I think you or, the people you write about, have been reading and watching too many books and movies like that, and about Satan.
Ever notice that all the military personnel and researchers who report about (implied extraterrestrial) UFOs interfering with nuclear missile systems and such create an eirie echo of the post-World War II, 1951 sci-fi movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and it's message of forced nuclear disarmament by concerned extraterrestrials?
"A top boffin at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) says that the titanic machine may possibly create or discover previously unimagined scientific phenomena, or "unknown unknowns" - for instance "an extra dimension".
"Out of this door might come something, or we might send something through it," said Sergio Bertolucci, who is Director for Research and Scientific Computing at CERN, briefing reporters including the Reg at CERN HQ earlier this week."
https://www.theregister.com/2009/11/06/lhc_dimensional_portals/
That isn't the author of the linked article saying that, that's the Director of Research and Scientific computing at CERN. It seems you may have the author of the linked article confused with the CERN director who - according to you Clark - has apparently spent too much time watching too many SciFi/Horror movies.
Or, sci-fi authors get their cues from fanciful hypotheses of theoretical physicists and cosmetologists, and practical physicists trying to confirm those hypotheses.
Touche. Certainly possible. =j
The Truth is so much more than the average person can handle. I remember the LHC was initially run on 9/12/07 I remember bc I was flying to Geneva from NY, the pilot did a flyaround of the 2 blue beams from Lower Manhattan (we departed on 9/11) and I was aware of the LHC and wondered if we would land in an alternate universe. Of course we did as the days passed and we watched the news about the global finance meltdown. This all had occult stamps. Dig at your own peril.
Also, Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008 (last time that happened was from 1760 to 1777, start of First Industrial Revolution and American Revolution) and will remain there until 2024. Pluto in Cap means enormous hardship and suffering, to achieve transformation and rebirth. I'll always remember how Merkel announced in January 2020 that a great transformation was ahead and that we'll leave our old world behind. Strange choice of words at the time, but obviously she knew what was coming.
I personally started to feel great unease about the world in 2008, a foreboding (which is why I looked into the astrological aspects back then). And that feeling only intensified each year since.
Merkel actually said "a gigantic historic transformation".
100%. Both governments are absolutely lying
Exactly, constant lies. I don't automatically believe a single thing I read any more. The public is being played constantly.
Morrison lives.
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.
Like the bioweapons labs in the Ukraine? The ones controlled by the warlord Kolomovsky?
https://twitter.com/RealGeorgeWebb1
Thank you for bringing this up... I’ve been wondering about these labs! Have they all been targeted by Russia, and did they succeed in destroying them? I wouldn’t blame them a bit. No more bio weapon labs please!!
I’m sure Jen Psaki will tell the American people the truth about the US Bioweapons labs in Ukraine first thing Monday morning!!!
Yes! We are living a psyop.
You've got to wonder about that possibility. This whole thing has seemed extremely odd, almost contrived, planned.
Some interesting links about the bioweapon facilities here:

Ask Biden’s son, Romney’s son, Kerry’s son and all their friends. They all profited from investing and workimg for Ukraine.
Only lives that will go with David Frum are all American political leaders and their son (s) only and no more buying vodka steel or oil from Russia.
Right. Declare a war, get on your horse and go first, and take your family with you. That is how wars were done in old times and that is how it should be. We would probably have some peace if all were dead !
STOP ✋ Drinking Russian Vodka!
haha. Haven't drunk alcohol in years. Even before I stopped drinking a glass occasionally, I did not like vodka. Stinks.
Nothing like a good vodka martini with an olive stuffed with Bleu Cheese! (Or Blue Cheese?).
Tony P’s in Marina del Rey is on it.
Good luck FINDING any “real” Russian vodka!
Nervous Nancy Pelosi is stocked well more than here stock and bank accounts!
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.
Please. Take the NATO/globalistt propaganda somewhere else. See my main comment. You're parroting the BS of the same people who've spent two years trying to kill you.
Even poor Jessie Watters is on the bandwagon.
“Knock off the sarcasm and jokes Jessie. Time for your serious face.”
100%
Better for them to change the subject on the MSM from all Covid all the time to all Putin all the time!
Damn that John Durham and his indictments against Hillary!
Huh?!
I remember Mitt Romney being made fun of for saying that Russia was a threat during the 2012 debates.
And he's squandered his votes to avert this, just as a bitter-ex would, ever since.
Romney backed down like the coward he is. Obama and Candy made fun of him then, and during another sit down debate where Obama just sneered at him. Putin sneered at Romney too telling US media he did not want Romney. Of course then media insisted it was important to elect a president that world leaders could work with. So to please Putin, elect Obama again. Putin played our stupid media and politicians, and Romney became the most bitter man next to Kerry and Gore.
Remember Obama whispering to Putin: “As soon as the election is over I’ll have more room to talk.”
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??
Many atrocities were committed on both sides of WWII. Some countries joined Germany after suffering atrocities under Stalin. There was no good solution for those who suffered under communism
Bravo!
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.
https://vimeo.com/252426896
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4
Sure they have their "biases" but we all do. At least know some background before making judgement.
Another little know fact, Kennedy asked Norman Cousins to speak to Krushchev to diffuse the situation. He did.
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.
Fact checkers have already debunked this. The US may have funded and built biolabs in Ukraine, but they are not US biolabs. They are Ukraine biolabs.
LOL. You are absolutely right - fact checkers are always correct.
Dear God please tell me you're joking... I assume, but so many people are suddenly back to listening to the media that I can't be sure.
Funny that the US government would have "Ukrainian" biolabs listed on its own websites... Which they memory holed earlier today, when the news started getting out.
I tried to highlight the absurdity. Satire is becoming too difficult in clown world.
Fact checkers debunked??? Please say you're kidding.
Did the fact checkers delete the USA web-pages on it too?
Are you serious with that comment. I buy a house pay for it in Switzerland, but it is not my house, it belongs to Switzerland!!
Alex, the Kiev government are freaking Nazis. https://consortiumnews.com/2015/07/13/the-mess-that-nuland-made/?fbclid=IwAR0O-ja2ej6A3qX4no5_QWvZ0gWLrvtrt1qBKsi1hgzQ7O0RxQRktnasQGg
With a Jewish president and prime minister. Do get up to speed.
They are Nazis.
Corkey, the only nazi in this episode is Putin himself. Putin just repeated exactly what Hitler did on September 1, 1939
Just like his north American nazi counterpart Justin Trudeau.
Actions speak louder then words
Appreciate your astute observation Coolguy.
This is propaganda started by some left-wing loon on 4 Chan and regurgitated on Twitter. Both are cesspools.
Robert Parry was hardly a Left Wing Loon.
He’s regurgitating propaganda, It’s offensive. People need to stop repeating stuff from 4chan.
It's not even 4chan. It's just the fact that the AZOV Battalion militia adopts fascist imagery and some beliefs, and Zelensky has been using them to do dirty work, with CIA arming and training them.
Proof? You say it’s propaganda. Where’s your source.
Check out "thesaker.is" for the other view of what is going on. The line of "resistance slows ruskie advance" is a laugh.
The saker is ok but he ignores how Putin is still pushing technocracy crap including vac passes... But Alex is way off, probably because he's a bit slow like with ivermectin and cannabis.
The saker said sars-cov-2 was natural based on the word of one person who was Russia's leading expert. He has been proven wrong on that one. He also says the vaccines are what they are advertised for and "within 2 years you'll all have taken it". LMAO No and No.
I find his (and Col Cassad) coverage of east europe, russia and eastern orthodox christianity very good. It is a very pro-russian view but not wrong and somewhere between that and the western media lies reality.
Anyone who is pushing "vaccine passports" (aka Digital ID) can NOT be trusted. That is the ultimate control grid. Once you accept that you can NEVER say "no" to your government and their owners. You will no longer have rights. Just privileges that can be revoked anytime you have the temerity to say "no".
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.
I think Alex secretly wants his old job at the “Judith Miller Times” back.
I do hope all the soldiers are vaccinated and boosted.
Legit LOL
Lol
Putin is a lot of things—stupid is not one of them. Plus there is ZERO credible media reporting. Just propaganda making it almost impossible to discern the facts
What’s with this MSM BS. At least try and dig a little for the truth. I thought that is what you were about.Unsubscribed.
As soon as the dupe shows up with the blue UN helmet on to “tell us what is happening” time to FF through the DVR.
He probably likes being alongside his former crowd cheering on the war.
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?
He's not the only one. Mostly its those with a Republican bent on Twitter the same way. Neocon is embedded in that party deep. You can fight pharma, but not the pentagon.
This all seems scripted. The West's propaganda machine is in full swing—the lies are coming fast and furious.
All I believe is that Russia attacked Ukraine…everything else is a lie til proven otherwise.
This is how I feel. Somehow we were listening to NPR tonight and it was all about how the government is working with FB and Twitter to clamp down on “misinformation” about the Russia Ukraine conflict. Once I heard that word I knew it’s all lies all over again. I have no idea what’s actually happening but if our media is shouting it 24/7 it can’t be true.
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.
I absolutely have sympathy for the citizens in Ukraine like you and me here in the states that are horrified by Washington.
Let’s not forget Putin invaded Ukraine. Innocent people are dying
What do you think happens in war? I didn't hear Berenson or anyone else talk about people dying daily in say Yemen. That's because people like you were not propagandized to care. But you are propagandized to care about Ukranians which I bet you couldn't even point out on a map before a week ago.
I know propaganda & there seems to be a few of you here on Alex’s substack
Propaganda is not a person.
Propaganda is spewed by people
Uhhhh my dad is Hungarian & he’s volunteered in the Ukraine
Uhhh, my family is Russian and Ukranian so what. The only reason you are told to care about Ukraine, and not Yemen, is because Ukraine is where the democrats get to launder your tax dollars to enrich themselves. They want that to stay in place and Putin is fucking it up for them.
Has no one learned anything after the 2 years of COVID propaganda?
Let's not forget that Putin is only 1 person responsible for it. There are others clearly pointed out on this discussion board.
Innocent People have died everywhere the US and it's allies have invaded. We just don't hear about it. That's on purpose.
Yep - we don't hear much talk about Yemen for example. We don't even hear much talk about the southern border, or Chicago - which should be much more important to people in US - people dying there every day too.
The US is not perfect by far. Especially with Democrats in charge. Everything they touch is corrupt. But we’re not trying to expand our border
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.
I’m here for the solid covid/vax info, not the consensus MSM Russia Russia Russia takes.
The US is once again arrogant and never has had war brought home. This could easily bring it home. Russia isn't Libya or Syria or Vietnam, the Russian could hit America on its land in no time. Having a senile (Vaccine-hurt?) POTUS can lead to a catastrophe. Praying this de-escalates. Fed up of gas-led wars.
You have tremendous wisdom.
The World is a Stage
A Staged Russia/Ukraine Conflict Is Part of the Plan To Take Down the Current World Order
"Coincidentally" Chinese aircraft entered Taiwan’s defense airspace on the same day that Russia invades Ukraine.

China has been running frequent sorties into Taiwanese airspace for the past few months. I wouldn’t read too much into that just yet.
Why you rooting for Ukraine? That’s literally rooting for the CIA and the Nazi squads. Maybe you should watch some unbiased reporting. Here’s a good example.

Otoh, encouraging to see that his followers are critical thinkers who actually apply that facility to this, too (unlike Berenson, obviously).
You are reporting on "what appears to be", ever been to a magic show?
This guy is doing the research that Alex claims to do: https://twitter.com/BBlues60/status/1497825820022296578
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.
You're still thinking of politics as though it's just like they portray on the television. Biden wanted this war provoked, but I don't think they meant to lose their DOD bioweapons labs in Ukraine.
He underestimated Vlad, or at least his handlers did, thinking hed lob some missiles across the border, get himself sanctioned real good n proper, and Nord Stream 2 would be no more... And Russia would soon follow, the recalcitrant thorn in the globalist's side, which won't seem to adopt all the lovely Great Reset ideals. Europe would be back buying US and Middle Eastern oil, and all would be well.
Now Putin has used their own "defending democracy" BS against them, as well as using the "Nazi" line, and apparently bombed Fauci and company's bioweapons labs.
Putin played Brandon like the fool he is. He got the pipeline, we didn't. He got billions in US oil Revenue and rising oil prices. As far as the bioweapons labs - who knows.
Who knows - maybe you're right.
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 always figured the Trump- Putin relationship was a little like a very wise person told me years ago. " Never sleep with or piss off someone crazier then yourself". Trump isnt the king of style points ala the previous resident of 1600 Penn, but i dont think Vlad was interested in a brawl.
Besides if 45 was still pres those 200 aircraft that included 40 50 F 15, 40 50 F 16s and 40 50 A10 Warhogs that the AF just retired would have been in Ukraine 2 or 3 months ago. Hence no invasion.
Just finishing a 4 day battle w covid and a huge thanks to all for the info on this page....btw the Iver is good stuff sorry Alex..
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?
How do you prolong a war? Thanks for answering.
I agree. Things aren't adding up right.
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!
PNAC, haha, forgot about that, no doubt it was part of his R news upbringing to know that by heart.
Wag the Dog. Russia/Ukraine War Fake News Galore
And you thought COVID propaganda was bad
https://lionessofjudah.substack.com/p/wag-the-dog-russiaukraine-war-fake
Can you imagine FDR purchasing gas and oil from Adolph Hitler during WWII? It would be insane to fund our enemy. Right? But wait---that's exactly what Uncle Joe is doing to Ukraine. Have you figured out whats really going on here? Yup--this is the war the 'Green New Deal' has dreamt about.
Joe isn’t that smart. He’s been sanctioning his own people since he shuffled into office.
FDR gave lend lease to Russia for far less than what he charged Great Britain. He shipped them butter while Americans had to make do with margarine. He ignored FBI warnings about Soviet agents. He gave them uranium claiming if we didn’t the Russians would know you could build an A bomb. He asked for far less money for compensation of seized assets than the Russians were willing to pay for recognition in 1933. Read “Stalin’s War”.
If Russia's goal was to conquer Ukraine, Ukraine would now be conquered. Kiev might also be uninhabitable for a good while, but Ukraine would be conquered.
Imagine that, an armed and trained citizen's militia helping the armed forces stave of invasion.
It's almost as if armed citizens stay free, and unarmed become slaves.
Ya know, reading comments from people who are literally parroting propaganda from the same media who they just watched killing people via lies, demonization, misinformation, for two solid years, makes me wonder what the point is... I get why Klaus Schwab wants you all dead, now XD
Alex should focus on the corona virus updates because he's making himself look like a fool with his comentaries about the Ukrainian crisis, this war is a direct product of the US, get your head out of your ass Berenson
Ukie resistance is propaganda. Russia will not rush in the cities after lessons learned in first chechnya war. They will circle city and mop up UkoNazis
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.
the number of comments to the effect that the Ukranians are Nazis is breathtaking. I'm beginning to wonder if we have a mini-bot farm going on here.

Considering the recent studies around the nano lipid mrna shots doing reverse transcription and messing up DNA I would think a lot of people might soon be coming down with multi system cancer . The only other way that happens is radiation . Are we going to have a few nuclear bombs go off to hide the blame of experimental vaccines ? Otherwise the blame will be on the shots . When it comes to avoiding responsibility and hail and stuff ….
Plausible.
Putin cannot walk away period.
Russia has no choice but to stand up to the US.
All the USA had to do was say No to Ukraine Nato membership and problem solved.
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.
Stick to COVID reporting
Without much western help... Lol

You may want to read this, and the previous article on the “strategic targets”taken out in Ukraine. 6 bioweapon facilities funded by guess who? Why did Putin take Chernobyl? Was he concerned of a FF attack against it?

Perhaps the dumbest thing this guy has ever uttered: “ The risk is very, very low.” Also, having seen this kind of thing before (during the recent election, e.g.), I wonder, why does he think it necessary fir him to comment on something he knows nothing about? I mean, he has been a great resource on all things Covid, about which he knows a staggering amount. Why this? I just don’t get it. Of course, everyone is entitled to an opinion.
I refuse to root for anyone in this war or give kudos. It’s over. The Russians invaded without resistance. The Russians have nukes. It’s over.
Next time don’t tell the bully that won’t do anything if they invade.
Oh and get rid of snobby nato
the only reason ukraine is still standing...most people in ukraine want to become a part of russia...and putin do not want to hurt those...if it was other country...it would be leveled in a few hours...
Now’s a good time for everyone to read Follett’s new book “Never”. Basically small stupid decisions by leaders lead to bigger ones and ultimately Nuclear war.
