WHEN VLADIMIR PUTIN ordered Russian troops into Ukraine he was not alone in thinking victory would be swift. Many Western analysts also expected Kyiv, the capital, to fall within 72 hours.

The leftists at this globalist rag chime in. After the fall of Russia, the media can dance and Biden can get back to trashing the country and persecuting us.

Putin is overthrown and war is over. He's exiled to Venezuela and hooks up with AOC.

I tend to agree that Biden doesn’t want Ukraine to win. Just a gut feeling, no proof at this time.

I just so want to score a victory for the globalist old world order so that we can get on with our Great Reset. It will be so glorious!!

Ukraine cannot win, will not win, and to continue to believe this fallacy is sheer lunacy.
