Pushing For War: Why Is The Biden Administration Pushing Ukraine To Attack Russia April 6, 2021
Why is it any of our business whether Crimea is part of Ukraine or part of Russia? Why is it any of our business if the Russian-speaking population of eastern Ukraine prefer… by Ron Paul of Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity
On March 24th, Ukraine’s President Vladimir Zelensky signed what was essentially a declaration of war on Russia. In the document, titled Presidential Decree No. 117/2021, the US-backed Ukrainian leader declared that it is the official policy of Ukraine to take back Crimea from Russia.
The declaration that Ukraine would take back Crimea from Russia also followed, and was perhaps instigated by, President Biden’s inflammatory and foolish statement that “Crimea is Ukraine.”
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who was a chief architect of the US-backed coup against Ukraine in 2014, continued egging on the Ukrainians, promising full US support for the “territorial integrity” of Ukraine. Many Americans wonder why they are not even half as concerned about the territorial integrity of the United States! Not to be outdone, at the beginning of this month US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin – who previously served on the board of missile-maker Raytheon – called his counterpart in Ukraine and promised “unwavering US support for Ukraine’s sovereignty.” As the US considers Crimea to be Ukrainian territory, this is clearly a clear green light for Kiev to take military action. Washington is also sending in weapons. Some 300 tons of new weapons have arrived in the past weeks and more is on the way.
As could be expected, Moscow has responded to Zelensky’s decree and to the increasingly bellicose rhetoric in Kiev and Washington by re-positioning troops and other military assets closer to its border with Ukraine. Does anyone doubt that if the US were in the same situation – for example, if China installed a hostile and aggressive government in Mexico – the Pentagon might move troops in a similar manner? But according to the media branch of the US military-industrial-Congressional-media complex, Russian troop movements are not a response to clear threats from a neighbor, but instead are just more “Russian aggression.
“Crimea does belong to Ukraine, Ron bs Paul”
Total BS ^ .
Crimea was part of Russia since Catherine the Great bought it from the Ottoman Turks before the USA had a Constitution.
Nikita Khrushchev, following the death of Stalin, gave it to Ukraine in an internal USSR deal in return for the support of Ukrainian party bosses in his quest to become premier of the USSR.
This would be like Eisenhower giving Long Island to CT during a hotly contested election in return for CT’s needed electoral votes.
New York would never accept this “deal,” and would take back Long Island from CT the first chance they got.
Russia will choose winter. Frozen ground or impassable bogs are the choice.
Ben Schreckinger’s “The Bidens: Inside the First Family’s Fifty-Year Rise to Power,” out today, finds evidence that some of the purported HUNTER BIDEN laptop material is genuine, including two emails at the center of last October’s controversy.
A person who had independent access to Hunter Biden’s emails confirmed he did receive a 2015 email from a Ukrainian businessman thanking him for the chance to meet "ukrainian information on hunter biden will also include 10% for the big guy..."
Joe Biden. The same goes for a 2017 email in which a proposed equity breakdown of a venture with Chinese energy executives includes the line, “10 held by H for the big guy?” (This person recalled seeing both emails, but was not in a position to compare the leaked emails word-for-word to the originals.)
MORE: Emails released by a Swedish government agency also match emails in the leaked cache, and two people who corresponded with Hunter Biden confirmed emails from the cache were genuine. –Politico https://wearechange.org/10-for-the-big-guy-politico-confirms-hunter-bidens-china-ukraine-emails-are-legit/
can we trade california to the russians?
Yep.
In a recent poll of Russians by the state-run All-Russia Center for the Study of Public Opinion, 56 percent of the respondents said they saw Crimea as belonging to Russia.

So much shyt in one article.
Russia surrendered to Ukraine when it recognized Ukraine’s independence from it’s forced union with Russia and the other Soviet states.
Ron Paul’s got some good ideas, some nutty ones.
Biden Administration Mounts Daring Mission To Evacuate Hunter’s Remaining Cash From Ukraine
UKRAINE—As Russian troops assemble at Ukraine’s border ahead of a possible land invasion, President Biden has taken swift action by deploying an elite seal team to evacuate his son Hunter’s money.
“At my direction, military operatives infiltrated a bank to evacuate my son’s stash of sweet, sweet Burisma cash before Russia murdered everyone. I didn’t want to risk that money falling into the wrong hands,” said Biden in a statement to congress. “Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to evacuate Americans from the country because I put all our resources on this operation. But make no mistake, we will leave no dollar behind.”
The four-man squad was dropped into ally territory by a Black Hawk helicopter outfitted for stealth missions. Once on the ground, they covertly asked for directions to the nearest bank and shared an Uber to make the 4-mile journey.
Bank security footage depicts the squad calmly entering the bank and asking for the manager. The squad then assembled in a tiny cubicle to discuss closing the account. In the end, the soldiers strategically left the building with a giant cargo net filled with millions of U.S. dollars.
General Mark Milley called the operation an “unprecedented success” and noted that the “bazillions of dollars” were safely back in the U.S. where they could be used to boost the failing narcotics economy.
At publishing time, Biden’s approval rating has dropped another five points

How many trillions are you pushing we borrow today to fund your neocon wet dreams? How many young American boys are you willing to kill and mutilate this time in another unwinnable conflict? How many decades are you insisting we remain in Ukraine? What is your vision of stopping Russia? B-52s over Russian staging areas? F-35s blinding Russian command and control? Swarms of A-10s over Russian armor? Would your next move be Desert Shield 2.0 or the waving of magic wands?
Biden is trying to back out from confronting Putin. Too much money is on the line for the Bidens,as well as Hunter’s Russian hookers.
Never bomb countries full of alcoholics. Just send them pallets of Everclear and Grappa.
It’s a lame attempt to deflect Biden’s failing domestic policies and trying to limit the damage coming to the democrats in the midterm elections.
Except I don’t see it helping much. Independent voters have no appetite for war with Russia. Only the neocon republicans and democrats are for this war and even then it’s mostly bluster. They just want to enrich the defense industry (and personal stock portsolios) by firing missiles and dropping bombs in a limited skirmish.
Except with the state of the world this could very quickly get out of control into a global conflict.
Ukraine isn’t worth one drop of American blood.
Not exactly. They want Ukraine to try to reclaim the rebel areas and get its butt handed to her again.
Then they’d say Russia did it, produce a ton of noise in the media on how they stopped Putin from gobbling the whole of Ukraine even though Russia wouldn’t be an active part of it nor planning to take Kiev to start with.
That’s for Biden to distract the plebs from his inept government and make him look tough by midterms.
It’s a good analogy but it proves the opposite to the point I think you are making. We cared (not enough) when Hitler annexed the Sudentenland because (1) we should have known it was an immediate precursor to a full scale invasion and (2) it was a test to see how the world would respond in anticipation of full scale war. If all Hitler really wanted was the Sudentenland then yes it didn’t really matter that much. Crimea was annexed by Putin years ago. So far he’s shown that’s all he wants territorially and it was a precursor to nothing. This would be like if Hitler actually did stop after Peace in Our Time and now England and Czechoslovakia wanted to start a war to get it back.
War in that region depends on how cold. Nazi’s got bogged down, literally, in Western Russia ‘cause their roads were mud, their railroads the wrong width for Germain trains, and until there was a hard freeze any transport was thru at least a foot of boggie mud.
After a hard freeze, tho, no problem with tanks or other transport. Blitzkrieg time.
Freeze and or seize all of the overseas assets of the Russian Oligarchs and this will end quickly. Putin serves at the whims of the oligarchs, who really run Russia.
And also to keep him in office hopefully, he thinks. Impeachment looms for that guy IMO.
that there is FU FUnny...
