The sooner Putin steps down, the sooner the war ends, and the sooner the Neocons can check of Ukraine as another disastrous, and bloody, loss for them.

And who know, perhaps with the Neocons humbled a bit over Ukraine, they’ll calm down a bit.

Nope. Putin will only leave feet first or under arrest. He knows that if he leaves office, he will be eventually arrested.

There is a lot of writing on the wall against your God Putin.
**************
The danger of idolatry is far greater with Zelensky. He is the celebrity of the one-world cultural, media, and government establishment, while Putin is its leper. Zelensky no doubt believes all the great things that the woke say about him.

We can’t even send adequate security to our border.

Yet I’ve read Biden just sent money to TUNISIA for theirs. Not even to mention what we’ve sent Ukraine.

Congressman Adam Kinzinger just came out and said that NATO could destroy Russia in three days.

Did he also mention that Russia can destroy NATO in about 5 minutes for the close in parts. The US would take them 20 minutes or so.

This can't be posted enough to the neocon scum here:

What is so dangerous is that this not only demonstrates to China that the West cannot be trusted in making any agreements whatsoever, but that the Russian neocons have been put on notice that the intention of NATO is to wipe Russia off the face of the earth. They DELIBERATELY blew up the Nordstream pipeline showing that this is a long-term objective to crush the Russian economy. Our world leaders WANT WAR and they are the aggressor – not Russia. They deliberately had the Vice President at the Munich Conference state that Ukraine should join NATO. Then on February 23rd, 2022, one day before Putin made his move, Zelensky came out and said Ukraine wanted to rearm itself with nuclear weapons.

From the article:

"They DELIBERATELY blew up the Nordstream pipeline showing that this is a long-term objective to crush the Russian economy."

You know that the evidence points to Russia doing that, right?
5 Reasons Why Russia Sabotaged Nordstream

"Our world leaders WANT WAR and they are the aggressor – not Russia. They deliberately had the Vice President at the Munich Conference state that Ukraine should join NATO."

So if another sovereign nation joins an alliance you don't approve of then an invasion is justified? That's like saying my neighbor has the right to annex my house if I join a church he doesn't approve of.

"Then on February 23rd, 2022, one day before Putin made his move, Zelensky came out and said Ukraine wanted to rearm itself with nuclear weapons."

Funny how a neighboring nation sending troops towards your border makes people wish they had the means for self-defense. Russian troops hadn't yet crossed the border on February 23, 2022 but it was obvious to anyone with half a brain that that was their plan.

"We will completely lose all freedom and any right to vote whatsoever. Keep in mind that in ALL parliamentary systems, the people never vote for who shall be the head of state. That is unique to the United States."

I don't know who this Armstrong guy is that you keep posting on here, but apparently he can't be bothered to do a basic Google search. US-style presidential systems are the norm in Latin America and some parts of Africa.
Presidential vs Parliamentary Systems

Fortunately, this scenario is unlikely to happen because Russia is likely to win a war over NATO. Russia and China would definitely win a world war against the west and too many in the Pentagon know that and would never go there.

The liberal world order is crumbling. But, there will major economic damage done to Europe and this country.

‘...they were using them for bait to deliberately force Putin to invade to start a war with Russia.”

Only the stupidest fish take bait.

_________________________

The pathetic refrain from the “NATO could destroy Russia in three days” crowd would be amusing if it weren’t for the fact that we Americans would suffer the consequences if such abject stupidity was ever acted upon.

Yes, Russia could nuke NATO; but why would they want to when they are so able to defeat NATO with conventional weapons.

🌐💥🇫🇷 About the French military exercise ORION

In November 2022, France announced the largest military exercise since the end of the Cold War, codenamed ORION, which will take place in spring 2023.

The Macron administration is presenting them as a response to geopolitical challenges, stating that France is ready for global warfare.

❗️The Rybar team managed to speak to French generals who shared their assessment of such bravura statements.

🔻 What is the essence of the exercise?

The manoeuvres will take place from late February to early May 2023 in several phases.

▪️First, a sea and air landing will take place over three weeks in southern France, attempting to establish a beachhead in a fictional country called “Arnland”.

There, the notional militia, supported by a hostile state called Mercury, will destabilise the situation.

For this operation, 7,000 soldiers will be mobilised. The aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, two amphibious helicopter carriers and some 20 surface ships and submarines will also be involved.

▪️The second phase will simulate the invasion of the Mercury at Arnland.

The manoeuvre scenario is not known in detail, but it is assumed that part of the national territory will be occupied by a foreign power.

Russia or Turkey are seen as hypothetical adversaries. And the French army is to retake this territory, fighting local guerrillas loyal to the foreign power.

▪️ One division will be involved in the manoeuvres - 10,000-12,000 men, which is half the French army.

By comparison, every year France organizes exercises at the company level - 120 men, sometimes at the regiment level - 600 men, and much more rarely at the brigade level - about 3,000 men.

The objectives of the current exercise are to prepare the French army for:
➖ high-intensity combat operations, given the experience of the conflict in Ukraine
➖ information warfare
➖ anti-guerrilla warfare on French territory.

🔻 The exercise has not yet started but has already been the subject of strong criticism within the French army for two reasons:

➖The scenario of the exercise implies that the army will be used against the French population.

➖Organising manoeuvres on this scale and achieving the stated objectives is knowingly impossible, and the generals are aware of this.

▪️ The French army is no longer able to manoeuvre large units because it does not have the necessary equipment: Tigers helicopters and Leclerc tanks are faulty due to lack of spare parts and CAESAR guns have been transferred to Ukraine.

▪️In the opinion of the top officers, the only objective of the exercise was to occupy the French army.

With the end of the Barkhan mission and the downsizing of operations in the Sahel, the French army, one of the most interventionist in the world, has been left virtually idle.

The Elysee Palace believes the army must not be allowed to get bored or there will be a risk of a coup d’état.

▪️ Nevertheless, the media have already begun to prepare the ground for a positive image of the exercise, which is sure to be declared a success when it is over.

The French Chief of Staff, General Thierry Burkhardt, was quoted in a parliamentary hearing and was immediately picked up by the media.

He said that “if the French army has to fight a high-intensity war, we are ready to do it right now”.

▪️A year ago he claimed exactly the opposite. Because Burkhardt, like most French generals, knows that the French army, by its design since the 1960s, is designed only to engage in local conflicts. Only Africa has been suitable for its use all these years.

In case of a full-scale invasion, the aim of the French army in Europe is to win 2-3 days to be able to use nuclear weapons. This is the basis of the whole French military doctrine called dissuasion.

🔻 The goal of the modern French army has never been to wage a classic high-intensity war. Watching the attempts to pass off wishful thinking and create ideal exercises at least in a picture will be very interesting.

The aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle,

Nice ship you got there. Be a shame if something hypersonic should happen to it.

Zelensky earned his praise from decent people by standing up against Putin. That you are so bitter against a man defending his country shows a very bad case of ZDS. Meanwhile Putin earned his leper status among freedom loving people.

In my humble opinion, it will be no different, and maybe worse for the EU, NATO and Ukraine when Putin steps aside. It is not Putin against the powers of the Western Alliance, it is Russia fighting to remain free. Clearly the goal of the WEF and their puppet state of the USA is to destroy Russia, and take its resources for its very own.

Celebrate, you Zelensky zozk zuckers. War is here, it will become worse and this IS ON YOU.

Yep. Putin’s no paragon of virtue by any stretch, but that Zelensky is a narcissistic creep who struts around demanding other people’s money and wallows in the gushing, starry-eyed adoration heaped upon him by fellow narcissistic sh*t-stains like Biden, Pelosi and Harris.

It’s disgusting.
