It’s Official – White House Ukraine Crisis is Manufactured – Pelosi Says if Russia Doesn’t Invade Ukraine, It Proves Strength and Brilliance of Joe Biden Policy
The first topic is the “Russia-Ukraine crisis,” with Stephanopoulos asking Pelosi directly if she believes Russian President Vladimir Putin is about to invade Ukraine. Nancy Pelosi’s response [Transcript Here] tells us all we need to hear:
PELOSI: “Well, I think we have to be prepared for it. And that is what the president is — yes, I do believe that he is prepared for an invasion. I also understand why the President of Ukraine wants to keep people calm and that he wants his economy not to suffer. But, on the other hand, if we were not threatening the sanctions and the rest, it would guarantee that Putin would invade. Let’s hope that diplomacy works.
It’s about diplomacy deterrence. Diplomacy deterrence. And the president’s made it very clear. There’s a big price to pay for Russia to go there. So, if Russia doesn’t invade, it’s not that he never intended to. It’s just that the sanctions worked.” … “I’m very proud of the work that the president has done.” (read more)
Zelensky Invites Biden To Visit Ukraine In “Coming Days” In Pushback Against ‘Imminent’ Invasion Fears
During their Sunday phone call Ukraine’s President Zelensky asked Biden to visit Kiev in person amid continuing White House claims that a Russian invasion is set to happen “any day” now.
Saying that major Ukrainian cities are “under safe protection,” Zelensky suggested that a visit of the US president in person would stop the spread of panic and prevent escalation. “I am convinced that your visit to Kyiv in the coming days... would be a powerful signal and help stabilize the situation,” Zelensky was quoted as saying in the call.
“We will stop any escalation. The Ukrainian capital, Kiev, other cities in our country - Kharkov and Lvov, Dnepr and Odessa - are under safe protection,” Zelensky told the US president.
As for the White House call readout, it was brief and scant on details, while again underscoring the path for diplomacy remains open:
President Biden reaffirmed the commitment of the United States to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. President Biden made clear that the United States would respond swiftly and decisively, together with its Allies and partners, to any further Russian aggression against Ukraine. The two leaders agreed on the importance of continuing to pursue diplomacy and deterrence in response to Russia’s military build-up on Ukraine’s borders.
Meanwhile, the below tweet from the Russian embassy in the UK is being seen by some as a “ray of hope” - strongly signaling there will be no Russian offensive:
Russian Embassy, UK
@RussianEmbassy
After Russian troops finish drills and return to barracks, West will declare ‘diplomatic victory’ by having ‘secured’ Russian ‘de-escalation’. Predictable scenario and cheap domestic political points.
....Pelosi and the Russian embassy got the same memo.

New World Record: Democrat LA Mayor Eric Garcetti Held His Breath for the Entire Super Bowl
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has set a world record for holding his breath for over three hours, shattering the previous record of 24 minutes, 37.36 seconds. To prove his feat, he performed it on national television during the live airing of the Super Bowl.
We know that he was holding his breath because the last time he was seen maskless at a football game, he claimed he was holding his breath for a picture with Magic Johnson. In his multiple appearances throughout the Super Bowl, he was never wearing a mask.
I can’t say that the “White House Ukraine Crisis is Manufactured.”
But I can say that whatever that comes out of Nasty’s mouth is manufactured lies.
We are in this predicament because Bye-done is weak not because Putin fears sanctions or Bye-done.
Putin is laughing his butt off, I’m sure.
