The World Vladimir Putin Wants: How Distortions About the Past Feed Delusions About the Future

Chock full of revisionist history too. Yeah, yeah, all Russia’s fault. Ukraine, with US urging, broke the Minsk accords. Russia didn’t do that; our proxy cannon fodder Ukraine did because sock-puppet Zelensky wants lots of US cash and foolishly believed NATO would come to the rescue.

I love how she puts Neo-Nazis in quotes.

Funny, articles from 2015-2018 were full of concern about the rise of neo-nazi factions in Ukraine power centers. Now, it’s conveniently forgotten.

Did this Deep State trollop support the US sponsored coup?

Biden and Co. have so much innocent Ukrainian blood on their hands.

What is saddest about all this is it didn’t have to happen. A new piece in Foreign Affairs states, “[I]n April 2022, Russian and Ukrainian negotiators appeared to have tentatively agreed on the outlines of a negotiated interim settlement: Russia would withdraw to its position on February 23, when it controlled part of the Donbas region and all of Crimea, and in exchange, Ukraine would promise not to seek NATO membership and instead receive security guarantees from a number of countries.” So essentially, in April, less than two months after the beginning of the war, the parties involved were close to agreement with returning to the status quo of what existed the day before Russia invaded. But the agreement collapsed. Why? Two words: Joe Biden.

Pravda, a Russian mouthpiece, claims that Boris Johnson tried to block any peace negotiations. Again, that’s Pravda, but it comports with known facts and Johnson never denied saying in private what he’d already said in public.

So, essentially, the combatants had resolved their conflict, only to have the west appear saying it would rather have more war. The “they” in that statement is telling. Johnson was no doubt acting on behalf of the man who “has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades”; that is, Joe Biden.

At the very moment when a fragile peace could have been worked out and negotiators begun to solve the differences between Russia and Ukraine, Joe Biden steps in and does what he does best, mess things up. The timeline here is interesting. Even though, on March 10, the US promised Ukraine $13 billion and, on March 26, Biden told the world that Putin “cannot remain in power,” the Russian and Ukrainian negotiators were still able to come to an agreement on a peace deal. And staggeringly, Joe Biden scuttled it.

Here we are in September, and much of the world is in recession, prices for everything are up dramatically, the US has provided Ukraine with upwards of $60 billion in aid, and Europe is facing energy shortages and skyrocketing prices just as winter approaches. And now nuclear war is in the air.

Putin is a Klaus Schwab disciple. A leading WEF member.

This is why he’s depopulating Ukraine and Russia. Attacking civilians first!

Criticism of the author is only valid if the source material, Putin’s own words, were changed.

That Putin is against Soros & Co. doesn’t make him good. They’ve both bad. Putin sees the Soros gang as competition for his own desires of domination.

Fiona Hill almost makes this squad. She's a senior minion of Nuland and Soros.

Amazing to watch Freepers sucking up to the same Soros / Deep State minions who ran the 2014 Maidan Coup that set the stage for the current war, ran the Trump Ukraine impeachment, etc.

When were those photos taken?

RE: Criticism of the author is only valid if the source material, Putin’s own words, were changed.

I got attacked personally in this thread for posting an article writen by Fiona Hill, who many consider a “George Soros Mole”.

But what I’d really like to see is a refutation of the POINTS made in this article.

Impeachment witness Fiona Hill. Now featured at freerepublic!

A mere handshake does not mean agreement.

Boxers also shake hands before a fight but go on to beat the bloody pulp out of each other.

“When were those photos taken?”

Prior to the war. WEF, MSM, Google etc. moved to quickly distance WEF from Putin’s invasion. But Schwab had already pre-congratulated Putin by saying he would be the first to implement WEF’s plans for the future.

Under Putin’s logic, we had no right to independence from Great Britain. Even in 1812, after they legally recognized us an independent nation with the Treaty of Paris.
