Biden's shtick, which combines reassuring talk and passive aggressive sabotage, is a winner among the uninformed public. Biden is in Putin’s pocket*, although in a plausibly deniable way. His problem is that both parties are pretty solidly in Ukraine’s camp. And there is plenty of material available to impeach, remove *and* imprison Biden. I doubt Biden will act precipitously to aid his Russian patron. He will slow-walk the aid where feasible and perhaps, in so doing, doom Ukraine to defeat.

Joe Biden has the affect of a very good used car salesperson, which he presumably acquired at the feet of his car salesman dad. He makes you feel comfortable, like a member of his fambly, to the point that it almost feels like you’re imposing on him by asking for a discount off the list price. Heck - you want to pay above list, just to show him how much you appreciate the service he provides. Then you drive away from the showroom with the cream puff you just acquired, and the dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree, then goes completely dark, as the car rolls to a gradual stop.

* One of the unheralded aspects of the Ukrainian scene is the way large numbers of Ukrainian oligarchs are owned by Putin. For instance, Burisma, a corporation that looms large in the Biden scandals, is owned by a Ukrainian businessman with indirect ties to Moscow.

It's possible Biden is slow-walking aid to Ukraine because he’s afraid that Putin will blow up his administration. Not with explosives, but by carefully laying out how he used cut-outs to bribe Hunter Biden, and by extension, Joe, in a way that no amount of denial by the media can scrub away.

Some people say Ukraine has its hooks into Biden. That’s absurd on its face. Saying that Biden is tied to Ukraine is like saying the Anwar Awlaki, US citizen anchor baby and the Yemeni terrorist, is tied to the US. The relationship is completely incidental. Biden’s real relationship is to Russia - Burisma’s owner is a pro-Moscow oligarch tied indirectly to Putin.

Yanukovich ran to Moscow because he was Putin’s man. Who was Yanukovich’s man, who left Ukraine when Yanukovich scuttled away to his master in Russia? Zlochevsky, who *co-incidentally* owned Burisma, the outfit that bribed Biden through Hunter.

Zlochevsky served as Ecology and Natural Resources Minister during most of the first cabinet of Mykola Azarov,[1] and during both the later part of Azarov’s first government and all of Azarov’s second government, he served as deputy secretary on National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of the President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych.[1]

The bottom line? Countries don’t pay bribes. People do. If I had to guess who really bribed Biden, I’d say Putin, through a couple of intermediaries - Zlochevsky who was beholden to Yanukovich who was beholden to Putin. It’s really not that complicated, and makes for plausible deniability.

Why hasn’t the media made the connection? For the same reason it’s completely uninterested in Hunter Biden’s laptop.

“A fleet of Toyota pick-ups with cross-country capability would make all the difference, the colonel told me, assuming as so many here do that because I am an American I have easy access to such things.”

Uh....tell him..."No."

But he can buy a fleet of Chevrolet and Ford pick-ups with cross-country capability if he is so inclined.

The only thing to be decided is if Russia takes control of just the eastern half of the country, two-thirds of it or all of it.

The longer Zelensky holds out, the worse the final deal will be.

This is a funny article.

He solicits an opinion from a former Azov (war criminal) commander, and then in the next paragraph immediately proceeds to state that this is the opinion of ALL Ukrainians.

That’s really, really stupid.

There is one solid paragraph of information, it is the second to last.

“ten Ukrainian battalions, currently holding the line East of the Dnieper river, run the risk of being cut off. “

Which city ?

You’re special. Bless your heart.

The best thing to do is Ukraine sue for peace.
