To me, Blinken, Mayorkis, and Garland proudly share the pinnacle of psychopaths this admin has assembled. The absence of talent in this particular troika would be simply remarkable if it wasn’t at the same time terrifying.

Let’s give Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Poland nuclear weapons and delivery systems. Contain the commies right where they are. Communism is evil. Putin is a Communist. So is Xi.

This guy if he was writing in 1938:

"On top of all of this, Washington London and NATO France are talking about making Austria, formerly a province of Russia Germany, and another former province of Russia Germany, Georgia Bohemia, members of NATO allies which shows indications of ringing Russia Germany with bases in preparation for war."

A couple of tactical nukes for Taiwan, South Korea, Poland, Hungary, and Japan to use if invaded or attacked should do the trick. Also let’s drill baby drill and bring our production back home, especially of high tech items and heavy machinery.

I have maintained for some time that the great danger posed by Biden and his band of imbeciles is not that they will do nothing in the face of Russia aggression, but that they will get us into a war, the wrong war, in the wrong place. I think Ukraine would fill the bill.

A war would provide cover for the great reset. A war would consume the lives that the covid plandemic was unable to accomplish.

The Russians explained that they do not feel secure. They are constantly demonized, sanctioned on the basis of accusations in the Western press, and their president insulted. Military maneuvers are conducted on their borders, and the US Navy is in the Black Sea where it has no purpose to be. Washington broke its word given to Gorbachev and has not only moved NATO to Russia’s borders but also established missile bases in Poland and Romania. Washington has overthrown the Ukraine government in an attempt to evict Russia from her Black Sea naval base, established a puppet Ukrainian government hostile to Russia and to the Russian population of eastern Ukraine, and is gradually invading Ukraine economically and militarily with Americans on the ground training Ukrainians in the use of the American supplied arms.

On top of all of this, Washington and NATO are talking about making Ukraine, formerly a province of Russia, and another former province of Russia, Georgia, members of NATO which shows indications of ringing Russia with bases in preparation for war.

Russia explained that the situation is so threatening that it is unacceptable. During the long Cold War the two powers tried to reduce tensions by stabilizing the relationship, but in the 21st century Washington has disavowed all the arms control agreements that were accomplished in the 20th century, and has behaved aggressively toward Russia.

Russia explained that she will no longer tolerate the implied threat of US/NATO bases on her borders and most certainly will not permit Ukraine and Georgia to be members of NATO. Any move by the West in this direction will result in “dire consequences.”

Russia does have a point. The globalists, the MIC, the NATO and EC bureaucrats, and our old cold warriors at State, DOD, and in the intelligence community really miss the cold war. The WOT was a poor second cousin for a real boondoggle.

“Why does the US Deep State want to invade Russia?”

They think it will be a distraction from the bad economy/Covid.

They think it will be good for the economy.

They think the country will pull together.

They are wrong.

You don’t want to SOLVE the problem. You want to perpetuate the problem.

“A couple of tactical nukes for “

The broken glass theory of economic recovery.

The Russians are completely correct. And the constant encroachment by the US is completely unintelligible - unless there’s an actual thought to provoke the bear. Then we’re talking about insanity.
