Your post explains why Biden and obama have been placed in the White House while also offering clues about who all is responsible.

To an observer, comparing the winners and losers, it looks like Trump was their problem, but Biden is their property.

She thus acknowledges what everyone had already concluded: Chinese Communists own TaliBiden and the US District of Cartels lock stock and barrel.

PCR is good, but a bit too emotional and like most seems to be missing the likely main hint of what is really happening.

so lemme ...

Biden sent back the written answer to Putin. The blinking fellow delivered it and asked that the details are not disclosed.. at the same time he summarized the answer for everyone, the answer seems to be a resounding NO.

Well... then let’s do ask: what is the point for Putin to keep this secret? Publish the answer and proceed with long-prepared plan B (which is probably strike, and surely not on Ukraine!).

Unless... what is written is very far from a NO.. and Biden is willing to deliver what Putin asked for .. asking for silence just not to add yet another problem for midterms and avoid even worse splits in NATO now.

By the way, Ukrainians are confirming this is the Biden Admin hyping things up and trying to start a war. See the links below.

LOL. Of course. Ukrainian oligarchs know that if Biden succeeds in forcing Russia to invade they are not going to be among the winners. Best case scenario for them would be a retirement in the West with most of the assets gone.

Now, they do have a second option: a deal with Putin. Putin has been known to make sweet deals with oligarchs who are willing to be good team players.... so yes, there are attempts to make some private deals too. And they are NOT about what happens when Russia occupies Ukraine -- Russia will try to avoid this as much as possible -- but about what would happen if the Ukrainian state simply disintegrates by itself.

“It is over. Putin has won.”

LOL ! Putin won shit. The only reason why he hasn’t lost terribly yet is that Biden is a Manchurian candidate.

“Posting an article is NOT being troll.”

You did not disclaim or discredit the highlighted claim of the article that “It is over. Putin has won.”

You didn’t even post the obligatory (BARF) that typically accompanies articles that are emotional invective.

A review of your posts with regards to Ukraine shows your consistent pro-Putin bias and a consistently defeatist attitude towards the US.

Call it what you will. Troll. Defeatist. Whatever.

In any case per accepted standards of posting on FR you have presented this article as representative of your own views.

Own it.

Thank you for confirming you are a Troll. Clearly you do not understand what is a troll. 

 

"You did not disclaim or discredit the highlighted claim of the article that “It is over. Putin has won.”"

Furthermore, you do not grasp the concept of posting articles on the web and people commeting on it. That's how Free Republic and many other web sites work. It's called an opinion. Ever here of the Bill of Rights Mr. Troll?  Please read up on it again.  Here you go.

https://www.texaspolicy.com/25-things-the-bill-of-rights-says-the-government-cannot-do/

People post articles on Free Republic and people comment on them. Well imagine that?....

 

If warmongers like you got out of your Establishment shill echo chamber, then you would realize this is what happened.  I linked you 3 articles right off hand from Breirtbart saying the same thing in the previous post.

Ukriane is not a part of NATO.  France and Germany do not want the war and Russia does not want war. Ukrine is a Wag the Dog scenario, and everyone knows it excpet D.C. Establishment hacks. Americans are more worried about the U.S. borders than borders half way around the world. Check out a recent poll. Just think that is what is admiited.  Meaning it's far worse.  I would add suspect it's close to 85%.

 

Ipsos Poll

:

69% disapprove Biden's inflation handling

69% disapprove Biden on gun violence.

64% disapprove his handling of crime.

64% disapprove immigration policy.

56% disapprove of his handling of the Russia-Ukraine tensions.

56% disapprove on Biden's work on economic recovery

 

Have you seen our national debt? 

https://usdebtclock.org/

 

Yet you think we can just start a World War III alone against nuclear powers and that is a great idea. As if we have an unlimmited supply of money, and that will never come back to bite us.  Do you understand the Fed cannot even cut rates anymore? Do you even understand what that means?  

Ukraine does not want our troops there.  They have already made it clear. Germnay does not want it nor does France. If warmongers like you want to fight a war with Russia, then go fight it yourself troll.

Call me what you will. I don’t care.

As far as being a warmonger let me assure you that I prefer to avoid war. I’ve lost good friends to war and the price of needless conflict is written on the epitaphs of too many graves these past twenty years.

That said, bowing down before imperialism is a proven path to war. Whether the imperialist is King George III, Napoleon, Hitler, or Putin the fact remains that it is far better to stop them early on while you can instead of having to pour rivers of blood to restore the peace and to free people from enslavement.

I am no fan of Joe Biden. My posting history makes that clear. I’m also not a fan of the globalists who sat back and did practically nothing when Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014. Nope, they sold their souls for Russian oil and gas.

Part of the difference now is that Putin has put all of his cards on the table and made clear that his intentions are not constrained by the borders of Ukraine. Nope, he wants the West to retreat to Cold War borderlines and to cede the free nations of Eastern Europe and the Baltics to Russia.

That’s just not going to happen. I don’t GAF who is in the White House I’ll back them on supporting free people against gangsters like Putin all day long.

“If warmongers like you want to fight a war with Russia, then go fight it yourself troll.”

If I get called I’ll go.
