Former Trump defense chief Chris Miller warns Ukraine crisis could become World War III
justthenews.com ^ | 4/20/2022 | Madeleine Hubbard

Posted on 04/20/2022 9:17:04 PM PDT by bitt

"At the end of the day, we're gonna have to stand up to [Putin] more forcefully," he said.

Trump administration acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller on Wednesday applauded Ukraine for executing what may be the "most successful military campaign" in history, but he warned that if the West does not "stand up" against Russian President Vladimir Putin, World War Three III could start — if it hasn't already.

"I fear if we don't get our act together ... this will be World War III," Miller said, adding, "Many people think it already is."

The Kremlin threatened to take nuclear measures last week after Sweden and Finland said they wanted to join NATO. The war has publicly turned bloodier, with Russia being accused of committing numerous war crimes in Ukraine.

"If we don't stand up right now and fight back against Putin, it's gonna get a lot worse," Miller told "Just the News, Not Noise."

Putin has denied accusations of committing "genocide," but Miller said the world needs to learn from history.

"We could kind of turn the other cheek for a while, but at the end of the day, we're gonna have to stand up to this guy more forcefully," he said.

The United States and much of the world have imposed numerous sanctions on Russia since the invasion of Ukraine began, while Putin remains undeterred.

Miller said he has directly recognized Ukrainian leaders for their military strength against Russia.

Once again you can never be sure who is part of a long con. It is possible that those you admire most could be part of it too.

Re: 57

The US needs to answer the questions contained in the Powell Doctrine affirmatively and in detail:

1. Is a vital national security interest threatened?
2. Do we have a clear attainable objective?
3. Have the risks and costs been fully and frankly analyzed?
4. Have all other nonviolent policy means been fully exhausted?
5. Is there a plausible exit strategy to avoid endless entanglement?
6. Have the consequences of our action been fully considered?
7. Is the action supported by the American people?

before engaging in overt military action in the Russia- Ukraine war.

I agree —

The world is on the precipice of judgement.

It is mocking God while on the edge of a narrow cliff blindfolded, drunk, and dizzy.

All the while God controls the rock cliff under their feet...

I do certainly agree, the offensive attack into Ukraine was going to hurt Russia, force desperation within the Kremlin.

I can’t believe the fake news people on this thread believe. Not like the old FR.

Trump spoke at the WEF meetings in Davos and was ‘nice’ to the gang. Much nicer than he should have been. Decent world leaders are that way. A few links. So according to some on this thread, he must be a raving globalist too.

The idea that Putin is a Schwab puppet is silly. If Soros and Schwab fear or don’t like someone, that is a clue.

I have studied up on this topic since 2014. Did you watch the two documentaries I posted?

I really do know about this, and it is clear Miller knows better than I do considering his access to intel, and is saying this stuff tactically.

Gen.Flynn spoke truthfully. Good cop/bad cop maybe.

It was awesome...

I recall Trump flying into Davos (beautiful place by the way), and watching the world media get entirely bent out of shape from the start, from the arrival of AF1 and numerous HMX-1 decoys (one carrying their adversary), invading their holy globalist turf 🇺🇸.

And they were upset at about every turn, as Trump literally took every opportunity to call for stronger self sufficient nations. And he did it multiple times. He was always consistent on that, and used the WEF bully pulpit to push back on them.

That was truly brave and awesome!



No question Putin has his own global ascendant strategy. As well, as most of us saw from 2020, Putin disagreed with Klause Schwab for sure.

At the same time, Putin and Klause Schwab have been self described as close friends and working together since 1992.

ONCE AGAIN — Watch Putin and Klaus Schwab introduction (in their own words, WEF JAN 2021), describe their relationship, and having worked with each other since at least 1992.

*2021 WEF Putin’s own words and in full context —

JAN 2021 WEF speech, Putin advocates for global vaccinations and verification, (including for young children), and rapid unification and digitization of global central banks -

https://www.weforum.org/events/the-davos-agenda-2021/sessions/special-address-by-vladimir-putin-president-of-the-russian-federation

(After most of a decade in Moscow, my Russian still isn’t the best, but the again the captioned translation isn’t bad.)

I am going to take the super tiny minority view on Zelensky, in the very least as devil’s advocate I guess. You can call it propaganda all day long. I don’t care.

Regarding Zelensky, while there are most certainly things I truly do not like about Zelensky, he was most certainly not a Soros guy, or a Nazi, as some have rediculously pushed.

How was it Ukraine elected an anti-Kremlin/anti-DNC president without all the traditional bribery cash?

Zelensky — (that Jew boy who Putin and his followers hate l, and would end if given the opportunity, and who won’t give up Ukraine to German born Leninist Schwab’s boy Putin —

— [Zelensky] was overwhelmingly elected with approx 70% of the UA vote during Trump’s anti-Ukraine corruption efforts, largely carried out by Trumps US SoS Mike Pompeo. In the same window, Rudy Giuliani’s efforts were simultaneously gathering and exposing massive DNC Conspiracy/collusion with Moscow, and massive illegal corruption/laundering/racketeering related activity.

Some of this even exposed human trafficking, which I have personally been involved as a team member.

Arguably, Trumps White House triggered the Ukraine/DNC investigations, and significantly DISRUPTED DNC/Uniparty criminal and political crime infrastructure in Ukraine*

SIMULTANEOUSLY (2019) —

Zelensky literally ran and was overwhelmingly elected to go after entrenched Ukrainian, Russian, Chinese, and US corruption (DCM) in Ukraine, and to try and *STABILIZE what had long been strategically destabilized through longstanding and predominant DCM protocol (DCM = Destabilization by Corruptive Means/Methods).

As a matter of record, Zelensky then stood by Trump, when the DNC/Uniparty tried to fraudulently and treasonously frame Trump in their 3rd Coup’d’etat effort, involving Trumps phone call with Zelensky — where ironically the discussion involved going after DNC/Kremlin corruption! 🇺🇸

Soros as a matter of expenses backed Poroshenko, utilizing the Renaissance Foundation (not unrelated to Renaissance Capital, a whole subject itself)

https://www.rferl.org/a/ukrainian-president-gives-high-state-award-to-george-soros/27362587.html

Soros (and only slightly more quietly, Putin) strongly Backed Poroshenko Against Zalensky

https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/hacked-emails-expose-george-soros-as-ukraine-puppet-master/134305

As Trump did prior to Zelensky’s overwhelming election (again DCM), Zelensky then went after Merkel and the Berlin/Moscow NS-2 axis on energy —

Zelensky and Merkel then quickly locked horns over Nord Stream 2, piloted by her predecessor Chancellor Schroeder
https://youtu.be/9bh4P-MNjOI

Merkel Struggles to Reassure Ukraine on Nord Stream 2
https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2021/08/22/merkel-struggles-to-reassure-ukraine-on-nord-stream-2-a74864

Additionally, love him or hate him (as most of the right has been conditioned to hate in this case), there was direct immediate knowledge of Trump efforts, also involving Pompeo, to interrupt Soros efforts for Poroshenko in UA.

Many sites are claiming Soros backed Zelensky, and this is really not the case.

It is however very true, once Poroshenko lost, and Trump was immediately and publically embracing Zelensky, Soros had so much vested in global leftist laundering infrastructure/architecture in UA, he also openly reached out to Zelensky. He had no choice, if Zelensky cooperated with Trump, Pompeo, and Juliani, Soros, the DNC, and their many connections with the Kremlin would be exposed.

Later, after Putin invaded Ukraine, and it became clear Trump’s efforts to arm UA were not going to allow a 3 to 7 day, largely bloodless takeover of Ukraine by Putin, the imagery and was so bad and shocking, and widely circulated, globalists had to publically distance themselves from Putin as a matter of self preservation.

Many globalist and their puppets were yet giving Putin indirect energy profit until very recently. Part of these arrangements included the US puppet administration, the EU, Russia’s formal economic and defense partner China, and even India.

Words are meaningless when the actions are the opposite.

And I am not at all for this war, not at all a “neo-con”, moderate, socialist, or anything to the left of an unashamed Believer in Christ, who loves truth, and will give my life for liberty and our blessed nation.

And no, I am not a K-Street guy as someone here on FR has claimed.

In order to understand what’s going on in Ukraine, one needs to know the background of Ukraine. This is an excellent article.

And Zelenksy banned all opposition parties that supposedly favor Russian, and keep in mind that a huge number of Ukrainian citizens speak Russian, and all news other than Ukraine government news.

President Zelenskyy Bans Opposition Parties in Ukraine

Zelensky nationalizes TV news and restricts opposition parties
https://theweek.com/russo-ukrainian-war/1011528/zelensky-nationalizes-tv-news-and-restricts-opposition-parties

On Saturday and Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky invoked his emergency powers under martial law to suppress several opposition political parties and implement a “unified information policy.”

In an address to the nation delivered Sunday, he announced a temporary ban on “any activity” by 11 political parties.

The ban includes the Opposition Platform – For Life party, which holds 43 seats in Ukraine’s national parliament and is the largest opposition party.

Opposition Platform – For Life is a pro-Russia party, but on March 8, party leader Yuriy Boyko demanded that Russia “stop the aggression against Ukraine,” according to Ukrainian outlet LB.

Look, I appreciate you trying to explain this to me.

Sorry, but I’m not interested.

Putin had no excuse to do what he did. The carnage of war
transpired when he gave the order to invade the Ukraine.

Too many dead people, destruction, refugees...

You guys are going to have a hard time explaining why it’s
reasoned for him to invade Finland and Sweden next.

If he does that it’s going to make mute everything you’ve
dug up here. Those governments are not corrupt.

If he doesn’t do it there, it is also going to be damning
to what he has done here.

If it’s not reasoned for him to invade Sweden and Finland,
it’s not reasoned for him to do it here.

You guys have done everything you could to find dirt on
Zelenskyy. How about Putin? The guy is supposed to
stand down at some point. Has he? Are there fair elections
in Russia? He’s held power for twenty years now. There’s
no end in sight.

I do not see Putin and company as a lily white example of
good clean government, particularly good enough to pass
judgement on other governments.

I’d say staying alive, regardless of where he is now is an achievement.

By the way, due to massive treasonous election corruption, Trump isn’t really doing anything at the moment, even after the original effort involving Zelensky.

If FSB, GRU, and MSS were after you, and you were losing thousands of people to an enemy invasion, with 11 million displaced, food, water, and utilities severely disrupted or completely stopped, and you hardly an option going forward, I’d bet you wouldn’t be accomplishing a whole lot either.

I know from your posts, you are intelligent and far more reasonable than that.
