It Was Never About Ukraine
New Kontinent ^ | 11/24/22 | Ted Snider

Posted on 11/26/2022 6:35:23 AM PST by JonPreston

In his March 21 press briefing, State Department spokesman Ned Price told the gathered reporters that “President Zelenskyy has also made it very clear that he is open to a diplomatic solution that does not compromise the core principles at the heart of the Kremlin’s war against Ukraine.” A reporter asked Price, “What are you saying about your support for a negotiated settlement à la Zelenskyy, but on whose principles?” In what still may be the most remarkable statement of the war, Price responded, “this is a war that is in many ways bigger than Russia, it’s bigger than Ukraine.”

The war in Ukraine has never been just about Ukraine. It has always been “bigger than Ukraine” and about US principles that are bigger than Ukraine and “in many ways bigger than Russia.” Ukraine is where Russia drew the line on the US led unipolar world and where the US chose to fight the battle for hegemony. That battle is acutely about Russia but, in the long-term, it is about China, “the most comprehensive and serious challenge” to US hegemony.

"Russia is the “evil” mentioned in the 3rd secret. Who knows?"
Once they start chemically and surgically changing their children's sex, exposing and encouraging homosexual sex in the first grade, entertaining them with song and lectures by transvestites, then certainly they will be qualified to be considered "evil."

This just proves how stupid our leadership really is, because we could have become allies with Russia very easily. But that alliance is rapidly becoming a non reality due to the belligerence we express towards Russia. So, they are pushing Russia into cooperation with China, even though I honestly believe that Russia distrusts China as much as they distrust us now.

sigh.   The leftists hate and despise Russia for their abolishment of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.   While the neocons vilify the Russians for being communists.   Thinking of what might have been makes you loathe and pity the uni-party socialists and their warped world view.

Syria - Another Turkish Invasion Is Imminent
After two years of relative quietness the situation in Syria is again escalating.

https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/11/syria-another-turkish-invasion-is-imminent.html

This follows a terror attack in Istanbul two weeks ago allegedly committed by a woman who had traveled there from the Kurdish controlled city of Kobani in northeast Syria. Turkey accused the U.S., which is occupying northeast Syria, of complicity in the attack.

A week after the Istanbul incident Turkey started to bomb Kurdish positions in east Syria. It has now threatened to (again) invade it.

So, to the late George Bush, you never got your “New World Order”, but there will be a “New New World Order”, and it will leave the West behind.

Who knows if the CIA Spook, GHWB, fully intended for the late Klaus Schwab, WEF/China Dragon hegemony to be the NWO he was grooming us for?

Honorable mention: In the Firefly/Serenity, TV and Film (2002/2005) all of the characters spoke Chinese equally with English.   Could this have been a leftist attempt to groom us to accept our eventual Communist overlords?

“And add the history of an ever expanding NATO.”

And the US sponsored coup in 2014. Officially started by a CIA officer who organized professional mercs into snipers on that fateful day.

Who was that CIA officer?

He. Who. Cannot. Be. Named.

Aka, Eric CIAramella.

‘member him?

Ukrainians believe it’s all about them too - thanks to Zelensky and his propaganda machinery..... Loves to keep his people all hyped up one way or another.

I find it interesting that while Russians are free to watch BBC and CNN, Europeans are banned from watching RT, and it’s hard to find in America, the Land of the Free.

You may be behind the times, Travis.

CNN, BBC, and others suspend broadcasting from Russia after Putin signs law limiting press (March 4, 2022)

Of course, the reporting is from CNN, so it is likely to be biased.

Perhaps someone with local knowledge can determine if CNN and the BBC are freely available in Russia.
