Putin Being the Bad Guy Doesn’t Mean Zelensky Is a Good Guy
NOQ Report ^ | March 6, 2022 | JD Rucker

Posted on 03/06/2022 10:24:36 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Most of my readers didn’t trust corporate media’s portrayal of Russiagate or the alleged pee tape that was manufactured for effect by Hillary Clinton’s operatives. You laughed when they tried to tell us the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. You were skeptical of the narratives surrounding the after-dark counting of ballots following the 2020 election, as well as the dismissal of mountains of evidence of massive, widespread voter fraud. You didn’t buy the January 6 “insurrection” narrative. You haven’t fallen for Pandemic Panic Theater.

Why, then, are so many people buying into the notion that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is some sort of good guy in the Russia-Ukraine fiasco? The answer is found in human nature; we tend to look at things as “A vs B.” If Vladimir Putin is the bad guy, then his opposition must be the good guy. Governments and corporate media networks across the globe are playing on this false notion and compelling even lucid patriots into thinking that Zelenksy is fighting the good fight.

I’m not taking a side in the regional conflict. It’s not because I’m indecisive; my long-time readers know I take a strong stance on just about every important issue. In this situation, neither side is worth supporting. Zelensky is not a good guy, and while it’s extremely unfortunate that Ukrainian civilians as well as reluctant members of both militaries are being victimized by their two leaders, I don’t see Zelenksy’s actions serving the interests of his people. Most importantly, I don’t see an upside for America to get involved.

I do not understand how opposing Putin's invasion of Ukraine has the slightest impact on our opposition to other things that the left is doing in this country.

In case people have forgotten, it is the Democrats who currently control the Presidency and both houses of Congress. This should be their time to push through whatever remaining pieces of leftist garbage legislation they can before the midterms. We have absolutely zero chance of pushing through any of our agenda until after the midterm elections.

So I think you guys are looking at this exactly backwards. The more time and attention the left spends on things other than trying to force through leftism at home -- including Ukraine -- the better for us.

We're not the one's being distracted. - They are.

This I would agree with.

And beware the comedian turned politician as is Zalensky. The last US comedian turned politician, Senator Al Franken went down in flames as Me Too caught up with his act.

Zelensky, trying to shame Europe into jumping into this mess makes Al’s mistakes look like child’s play.

I believe that an escalation of our involvement in that conflict would be so consuming and intensive that the enemy within our gates would escape justice for their recent attempted totalitarian take over of all Western civilization.

Can you be more specific about exactly what you'd expect to happen if we weren't supporting Ukraine? Indictments? Or what, exactly? Because I don't see literally any link at all.

Is it the Durham investigation? Because I have to say that what happens with Ukraine isn't going to impact one iota what Durham and his people are doing on a daily basis. If there's interviews, grand jury testimony, indictments...those people are going to be showing up at their offices and doing the same thing they'd be doing if we did nothing at all about Ukraine.

And if "escaping justice" means something else that Ukraine would somehow preclude, you're going to have to be more specific. I truly don't get it.

I'd add this - the American public generally has a short attention span, and it's pretty safe to say that Ukraine is not going to be the dominating the news the same way 6 months from now anyway.

Okay, where’s the link as to the number of border agents — whom Biden isn’t letting do their job here anyway — we allegedly sent to Ukraine.

Whether Zelensky is a “good guy” is immaterial. Putin is the thug and aggressor. As such, he is far worse.


Was the Czechoslovak government in 1938 pure as the driven snow? How about the Polish government of 1939, or the Dutch, Belgian, Danish & Norwegian governments of 1940? Germany invaded all of them, the latter four without even bothering to give much of a justification.

Ukraine and its people are the victims here. What and how much we should do about it is a fair topic for debate. We are, alas, in Joe’s handlers’ hands.

I have absolutely no idea how supporting Ukraine with supplies and sanctions impedes our ability to stand up for our local police, fix our voting systems, or secure our southern border. They are completely unrelated.

The issue isn’t that the first item impedes our ability to deal with the latter group. It’s that the people in government and their partners in corporate fascism who are most vocal about helping Ukraine are the same ones who consistently oppose any attempt to deal with those other things.

A government that pisses away trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives in dumps halfway around the world while enabling an invasion across our own borders isn’t even a real government in a real nation anymore.

“Poland was almost certainly the most disliked and her Foreign Minister the most distrusted. Poland’s pursuit of an independent line left her bereft of any close friends by the end of 1938.... The Western powers saw Poland as a greedy revisionist power, illiberal, anti-Semitic, pro-German; Beck was a ‘menace,’ ‘arrogant and treacherous.’”

Of course that all changed in 1939, when Poland did ally with Britain and France, but even then many in those countries did not support sticking their necks out for Poland.

And the American people 'voted' for Biden and a few years back, for Obama.

So, what's your point? We didn't do any better with Biden or Obama. In fact, we ended up going backwards and downhill.

Due to the short attention spans, my hope, and not expectation, is that the people of this country could pause to consider the who’s, how’s, and why’s of the radical changes in the nature of our relationship with our governments over the past few years. Secondly, I feel that this conflict and the sudden change in the direction of the propaganda effort signal their desire to quickly change the narrative and limit the number of people considering these questions. Finally, I don’t believe that The USA should be involved in this conflict any more than we already are.

There was an article here a couple of days ago about sending agents to, I recall, Poland.

Bottom line is, both sides are scummy. Both sides have their reasons. But sorry, f*ck Putin, I hope he is crushed. That doesn’t mean I dont want the full truth to get out. We can have both.

Stop it. Klaus Schwab has no interest in killing you. You’d know that if you were not so busy mixing the 2 agendas in some bizarre conspiratory stew. You are living in the reset, which started in 2017. If I wasn’t bald already, y’all would have me rippin’ my hair out.

The globalists are the existential threat.

Demonetizing Russia is just the proof of concept for demonetizing you.

When they do it to you, you will deserve it.

Fauci had lots of evidence. Sometimes you have to just dig deeper. Obama likely installed a puppet government at every level in 2014... the same year he defunded hyperviralization, aka gain of function in the US as.. too dangerous. If obama, biden n Soros ate for it.. i am likely not. Do i yrist putin more than those guys. Globalists elites that want to wipe out the deplorables, pr putin, a nationalist
Evidence all depends on interpretstion, which in turn depends on the paradigm of interpretation.
