The west is committing suicide.
Turns out the “experts” weren’t as smart as they thought they were.
Or why so subdued when the United States in 2015-16 refused to sell Ukrainian offensive weapons?
Why does the United States discount the serial and ascending nuclear threats from Russia, but we remain careful not to antagonize China?
These are Ukrainian war-related questions that never seem to be answered—but should be as the carnage rises and the nuclear threshold falls.

According to many, we’re supposed to blindly follow Biden and his bunch right into World War 3, so Victor, just SHUT UP and get on board, just like DeSantis did yesterday after he accidentally muttered the truth 2 weeks earlier.
“Ukrainians, and many Europeans and Americans, are defining an envisioned Ukrainian victory as the complete expulsion of all Russians from its 2013 borders. Or, as a Ukrainian national security chief put it, the war ends with Ukrainian tanks in Red Square.”
Eh? The two are unrelated.
Russia leaving the four regions subjected to falsified referenda for the bogus annexations,
and committing to a properly mediated discussion about the status of Crimea would be enough to end the war.
Ukrainian officials talking about tanks in Red Square are just spitballing what they’d prefer to see.
The answer to all of this is that the Rat party is nothing but a communist syndicate. And the so called RINOS are their enablers. The only solution is for Patriots to unite and literally yank these bastards out of their chairs and throw them out. Otherwise, enjoy the suck.

Americans are the most propagandized population on the planet.

- when East and West Germany reunited (with resultant NATO expansion), the U.S. and other Western leaders made a deal with Gorbachev, that if the USSR did not push back on German reunification, then NATO would not expand eastward into areas such as Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland.
- along comes Bill Clinton, who pushes NATO expansion into Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland and the Bear is further provoked.
- Obama stages coup in Ukraine 2014, which removed a duly elected president.

- Following the coup, the Ukrainian army proceeds to murder thousands of ethnic Russians in the eastern Donbass region, despite the Minsk Agreement and other attempts at peace.

- surprise surprise Biden presses NATO expansion into Ukraine with further provocations by Sweden and Finland joining NATO, which is currently under way.
- Biden destroys the Nordstream 2 pipeline and blames it on Russia. The first time the U.S. has attacked the major infrastructure of an ally (Germany). A further major provocation.

- just imagine if the Chinese CCP conducted similar actions along the Canadian and Mexican borders. Would we accept Chinese military bases with nukes along our borders? This is what Putin was forced to deal with when Biden threatened NATO expansion into Ukraine and other countries.
- Russia, China, and a number of other major nations refuse to participate in the western (U.S. led) globalism movement. Putin is standing in the way. Is the U.S. on the right side of this war? Depends on the color of your sunglasses. Whatever the case, let there be no doubt we (the U.S.) crapped the mess kit on this one.
Yet why were only a few in past administrations calling for a joint Western effort to expel Putin’s forces from the borderlands and Crimea captured in 2014?Well, here's why a certain Vice President did nothing about it:
Baturina, a billionaire, was previously married to Yuri Luzhkov, who served as mayor of Moscow but was fired for alleged corruption in 2010. The report details how Biden's business received a $3.5 million payment from Baturina in February 2014, which was described to be for "consultancy" work. In 2015, Biden also received several payments of several hundred thousand dollars from Baturina, several of which were listed as part of a "loan agreement."

Bring back the elected Ukraine government that the Biden/Obama regime’s CIA kicked out in 2014. Remember Yanukovych?
The Ukraine is world headquarters for the cabal’s crimes of bioweapons (think aerosolized rabies), child trafficking, money laundering and drug trafficking.
Why is the world Ukraine wanted to get in bed with the US is beyond me. In my opinion they would have been better off figuring out how to get along with their neighbor, Russia.
“Russia’s cruel strategy is to grind down Ukraine and turn its eastern regions into a Verdun-like deathscape.”
Note that Russia is doing it to a part of Ukraine that was majority Russian speaking (but majority ethnically Ukrainian - even if they spoke Ruski!)
