If Ukraine were to fall that would probably be the end of the Burisma/Biden story.

______________________________

Re: Hunter Biden and Burisma

FYI: Ukrainian gas giant Burisma is owned by Mykola Zlochevsky, a close ally of Russian president Putin. In fact, he was an official in the 'puppet' regime that Putin had installed in the Ukraine through a rigged election (energy minister and deputy national security council chair). The former 'puppet' president was thrown out of office in 2014 following Ukraine's "Euromaidan revolution" and immediately went into hiding in Russia where he remains today wanted in Ukraine for the crime of high treason.

That said...

PUTIN'S FRIEND was paying Joe's son three, four, five, possibly more, millions of dollars. And he got under investigation.”

—Rudy Giuliani
______________________________________________

Giuliani, Sean Hannity show, Fox News, May 2019:

GIULIANI: He [Hunter Biden] was working for the most corrupt company in the Ukraine [Burisma]. He was working for a Ukrainian oligarch who was being protected by Putin. The same Putin that we have been hearing about for all this time, right? Imagine that.

GIULIANI [continuing]: Putin's friend was paying Joe’s son three, four, five, possibly more, millions of dollars. And he got under investigation. And Joe bragged two years later that he got the prosecutor general fired. He just left out of it that the prosecutor general was investigating his son and his son's crooked boss [Putin's friend]. And then afterwards, the case disappeared.

Massive bribe to stop Ukraine probe of Burisma founder intercepted

by Bradford Betz | Fox News | June 14, 2020

[excerpt]
Ukrainian officials on Saturday announced they intercepted a $6 million bribe attempt to stop a criminal investigation into the president of Burisma ...”

[Ukraine's anti-corruption prosecutor Nazar] Kholodnitsky and the head of the national anti-corruption bureau, Artem Sytnik, said the bribe was intended to encourage their offices to halt a probe of Mykola Zlochevsky, the head of Burisma and a former minister of ecology. Zlochevsky was accused of using his ministerial position for personal enrichment.

Three people, including a high-ranking tax service official, have been detained in connection with the attempted bribe, officials said Saturday.

In a statement, Burisma claimed the company had nothing to do with any bribe attempt.

"Neither Burisma Group President Mykola Zlochevsky nor other employees of the company have any relationship to the voiced events," the company said. "Mykola Zlochevsky didn’t ask for anyone to commit wrong actions and never contributed to such actions."

When the left, Obama and Biden, the left-wing media, Deep State and the neo-cons tell me something, the first thing I assume is that they are lying and have an agenda that detrimental to the country. And, they are telling me Russia is our mortal enemy. It's nonsense.

I told you before to click on YouTube. Watch Baklykov.Live. Watch Different Russia. Watch Bald and Bankrupt's journey through Russia. And, then, tell me Russia and Russians are my enemy. I don't believe it for a second.

And, if Russia is associating with our enemies, it is because we leave the Russians no choice. We implement sanctions on them and cut them off from the West economically. We encouraged the Ukrainian revolution and helped install a government that pissed on the Russians every chance it got with our approval. We sided with Muslim savages to try to overthrow Assad just to get back at the Russians and Christians were the victims of mass genocide as a result.

We need a sane policy toward Russia that normalizes relations with the Russians and align with them as a recent American Thinker article suggest. Joining with them would provide a counterbalance to the real enemy -- the Chinese.

Do you have a reading comprehension problem? I just above provided you the facts, for about the 100th time. Russia and communist China are on a joint mission to push us aside and establish a "new international order"! KGB/FSB Putin's main ambition in life is to restore the Soviet Union, or something damn close to it.

Because Foggy Bottom has had a sad ever since the Russians abandoned Communism.

Then why do they continue to prop up or ally themselves with just about every hard left and/or communist regime on the planet, including the ChiComs, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, etc, etc...

“I hope the army has finished training on that brigade of counselors”

I forgot about that. Can’t we just drop these counselors over the area (with parachutes, even) and have them mediate these issues. I can’t see any way that this idea could go badly.

China also continues to build up naval and ground forces near Taiwan. North Korea has also been acting weird lately.

"the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the [20th] century" -Russian leader Vladimir Putin on the collapse of the Soviet Union...

"World democratic opinion has yet to realize the alarming implications of President Vladimir Putin's State of the Union speech on April 25, 2005, in which he said that the collapse of the Soviet Union represented the 'greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.'..."

"The more I see and read about Mr. Putin, in power since 1999, and his 'managed democracy,' the more apprehensive I become about the future of Russia and the safety of its neighbors.

If Putin believes that the dissolution of the Soviet Union into 15 independent states represents the 'greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century,' then it follows that Putin might well believe he should do something to repair the loss..."

Where is the evidence for this belligerent and aggressive Russia? This is repeated so often but rarely vetted and tested. NATO is trying to get its fangs into a bordering nation. If Russia were doing thr same to Mexico what do you suppose the response would be. If the U.S government wasn’t filled with absolute traitors Trump would have had Russia support action against China. The U.S government is filled with absolute traitors.

“We are at the brink of War with Russia”

The hell we are.

The US should stay out of Ukraine. And our military will do just that.

Good information, ETL. We don’t need Russia rolling across Eastern Europe again. Evil empires continue to try to expand. For one, it keeps their unhappy, brainwashed slaves focusing on something other than their own tyrannical, communist/fascist governments.

We were on our way to bringing Russia into the fold, until Clinton and Madeleine decided breaking up Yugoslavia was a good idea.

Guess you're another one who doesn't know how to read very well. Else you would have understood that Russia and communist China has had a tight military alliance since 1997 when they pledged to establish a "new international order". They've been staging increasingly elaborate joint war games since 2005.

I’m aware they are allies with China and that’s why I made the statement. Trump’s strategy, in part, was an attack against that alliance but the traitors were afraid it would be as successful as his Mid East strategy and worked tirelessly to undermine it, in support if China. These pukes tried to get his translator to testify to congress (in case anyone has forgotten the extent of the treason).

That’s the sort of stuff the pro-Soviet Union Left was putting out during the Reagan years, and prior.
