Putin Is Pushing Where There’s Mush
Newsbusters ^ | February 26th, 2024 9:29 AM | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 02/26/2024 7:29:38 AM PST by Chad C. Mulligan

his week, Vladimir Putin finally — allegedly — murdered his chief political rival and critic Alexei Navalny. Navalny’s death followed an attempt by Putin’s operatives in 2020 to kill him by poisoning; Navalny survived the attempt, worked with online specialists to unmask the actual agents responsible for the poisoning and then returned to Russia, where he was promptly arrested on trumped-up charges and sent to a Gulag in the far north.

Now, Navalny is dead.

And Putin isn’t stopping there. This week, the Russian government announced an arrest warrant for Navalny’s brother, Oleg, on unspecified charges; Putin’s agents likely murdered a Russia defector to the Ukrainian side, who was found riddled with bullets in Spain; Putin’s government arrested a Russian-American dual citizen on treason charges for giving some $50 to a group called Razom for Ukraine, which sends medical and hospital equipment to the beleaguered country.

Meanwhile, Putin is stepping up his international outreach efforts. This week, Putin invited the terror group Hamas to Moscow to talk, along with fellow terrorist leaders from Islamic Jihad and the Palestinian Authority. He also received plaudits from far-left corrupt Brazilian president Lula Da Silva, who refused to condemn Russia for Navalny’s death but found time to accuse Israel of perpetrating a new Holocaust in the Gaza Strip. And, of course, last week he hosted Tucker Carlson for an interview, in which he laid out his historic grievances against NATO and Ukraine; Carlson then followed suit by issuing a series of videos praising Russian metro stations and supermarkets, claiming that Russian food prices should “radicalize” Americans into despising their leaders.

Putin feels unbound.

"Joe Biden is a weak leader with no centralizing principles. He has slow-walked aid to Ukraine since the beginning of the war; he has insisted on continued funding for the war while refusing to articulate what an end to the war would look like; he has refused to even justify the war to Americans beyond simply repeating the word “democracy” over and over — empty rhetoric that no longer tugs at the heartstrings in a complex world where the U.S. has non-democratic allies of its own. Biden refuses to take serious action on the southern border in order to achieve the Ukraine aid package he insists he desires; he even refuses to negotiate with the speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, on the issue. He seems to prefer tearing into Republicans for their insufficient zeal in funding Ukraine. All of this focus on Republicans allows Biden to elide the split in his own party — a split between Wilsonian interventionists and Noam Chomsky anti-Americans, who believe the United States to be a malevolent force in the world.

Hmmm. "Noam Chomsky anti-Americans, who believe the United States to be a malevolent force in the world."

Sound familiar?

US Deep-state via its mouthpiece, NY Times, admit that CIA has been actively involved in Ukraine and have had partnership with Ukraine secret services since 2014. That includes secret CIA bases, formation of paramilitaries, and control of military targeting against Russia

This has now morphed into total control of Ukraine’s clandestine services.

we all knew it - but why are they admitting it now?

Because the shit is about to hit the fan. Russia’s mobilization this far larger than what it has currently engaged in the Ukraine. A big offensive push is coming and the west under creepy Joe and the CIA is not nearly ready.

Sorry Chad, it is from the New York Times. I read it there myself this morning. Is the New York Times story that has been shared out sites like Yahoo and others

Little Ben. At least he said “allegedly”.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/02/breaking-ukrainian-intelligence-chief-admits-russian-dissident-alexei/

Little Ben really only cares about Israel first.

That said, this is pretty good.

“”Joe Biden is a weak leader with no centralizing principles. He has slow-walked aid to Ukraine since the beginning of the war; he has insisted on continued funding for the war while refusing to articulate what an end to the war would look like; he has refused to even justify the war to Americans beyond simply repeating the word “democracy” over and over — empty rhetoric that no longer tugs at the heartstrings in a complex world where the U.S. has non-democratic allies of its own. Biden refuses to take serious action on the southern border in order to achieve the Ukraine aid package he insists he desires; he even refuses to negotiate with the speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, on the issue. He seems to prefer tearing into Republicans for their insufficient zeal in funding Ukraine.”

Now this,

“All of this focus on Republicans allows Biden to elide the split in his own party — a split between Wilsonian interventionists and Noam Chomsky anti-Americans, who believe the United States to be a malevolent force in the world.”

Biden isn't eluding anything. It is quite apparent his fence straddling has become a very big negative for the old coot. Blacks, Jews, Palis are all majorly PO’ed at him.

I sense panic among the Putin prevaricators. Posting attacks without even reading the excerpt, much less the full article.

Well, "Chad", here is a link to the NYT article via Free Republic. But you can ignore that one as well, since that's not really your reason for being here, is it?:

The article I posted was by Ben Shapiro. Was not the NYT story about the CIA. How dumb do you have to be to miss that?

Well, "Chad", the NYT just put out an article, in a limited hangout fashion, that the CIA has been up to their necks in Ukraine well prior to the hostilities in Ukraine.

How stupid do you have to be to miss that?

So you’re going to comment on a completely different article? You’d make a pretty good Democrat politician.

To save Ukraine, Ben’s and other NeoCons’ kids must be mobilized when they reach age 16 and sent to the Eastern Front.

You moronic person, Sapiro’s talking about atheist neopagan fascists in the Democrat Party.

Far be it for some simple-minded fool to comprehend what he reads.

You do realize you are posing that comment to a thread with this information, right?

I’m sure they were. So was Russia - for many years. Your point?
