So Putin is the peaceful man now?/ Bull feathers, as far as I am concerned this is just another example why this Armstrong kook shouldn’t even be allowed to be posted here.
He hits a nerve with the war cheerleaders. I bet you didn’t read all the references posted on his site? Carry on war cheerleader, your road leads to hell.
Ukraine is the MOST disgusting, corrupt, and untrustworthy country on the face of this planet, and they WILL use whatever means to start World War III.
Armstrong is a legendary forecaster, who has been asked to do business with the corrupted Ukie government, he always rejected the offers. The entire EU banking sector knows this….10 percent to Joe….
The common well known saying in the EU, “When shaking hands with a Ukrainian, be sure to check how many fingers he stole” bears this out.

Putin isn’t the only villain here. Unfortunately for the Ukrainian little people, the elites of both sides want to end the war on their terms alone. Peace will come only when one side or the other wins, or they can reach a compromise where neither side gets it all.
So Putin is the peaceful man now?
And of course the US is about as peaceful as Mother Theresa!
There are always to sides to the coin. The backstory of this war is not generally known but should be in judging the rights and wrongs. The Kennedy Beacon had an article on FR a while back which puts Putin in a better light than most of the folks on FR have him.

Only people that see things your way should post here!
Only your view is conservative.
Conservative today: globalist, interventionist, offensive, expeditionary, economically motivated. I'm sure that view is 100% in step with how we defined it in 1980./sarc
This caused a war and you cannot get around that: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukrainian-president-zelenskiy-holding-talks-with-biden-adviser-says-2021-12-09/
That was our call.
There was no imminent need for this.
To this day, you nor anyone else can articulate a national security threat that required this NATO East expansion and our involvement in Ukraine without resorting to make belief boogieman stories and Cold War era cliche's.
Tell me, how has this war in Ukraine made me, as an American more wealthy, free or safe?
This war in the Ukraine is a disaster even WORSE than our withdraw from Afghanistan. This conflict has caused a reshuffling of the world order, with China, Iran, and North Korea becoming closer tied on defense issues, a massive expansion of BRICS, the begin of what appears as a divestment from the US dollar as a reserve currency, and once again being in a world full of proxy wars where Russian and American kids die in some place that their parents can't find on a political map. And this will not simply “turn off” when this conflict ends. What (((we))) set in motion will have lasting global consequences.
The difference being that with Ukraine everyone will point the finger at he who shot the first shot, i.e. Russia. But of course things aren't so simple unless we want to pretend to be stupid because that feels better. There was (((A LOT))) of things that happened in the lead up to this war, but NATO East expansion was the tipping point. Other factors: Us basically taking over Ukraine (subverting it), our withdraw from the ballistic missile treaty (impacts situation greatly), violations of Minsk, constant attempts at violating Montreux, us stomping all over Russia's sphere of influence in Libya, Iraq, Syria and Venezuela.
It's not that Russia is a nice guy. You miss the point.
In the Cold War, it was very clear, we were the good guy, they were the bad guy. That's all gone today.
