There’s nothing to negotiate when you already gave away the entire farm to them.

“Yeah Putin, next time NATO flies bombers along Russia’s border, you better not get upset!”

Try the Middle East, Syria for one thing, the Turkish border, and the Baltic states. Then travel to Africa and see the games there. While the US has a massive presence along with (surprise!) France, Russia wants their seaport on the Red Sea in Sudan and is moving contracts with other African nations.

Between China and Russia, this is heating up globally. The Chinese are becoming known for their unforgiving attitude toward African investments. They are mercantilists, and the Africans are finding out that those infrastructure improvements, industry and mining all come with a price.

And of course, the Chinese do not abide by the racial justice game nor do they tend to feel any guilt about being, well, Chinese.

That flogging doesn’t work.

Putin is no threat to us, but Biden needs a distraction. Politicians love to have a big, bad enemy that we are all supposed to hate so we don’t look at what our own government is doing.

Lol. Biden already blocked new drilling permits. That’s a lot more than ‘rolling over’.

Putin should just publicly thank Biden for assisting so greatly in the recovery of Russia’s oil business.

The “Trump-Russia collusion” story was of course a hoax, a COVER, to hide what THEY (the notoriously traitorous Democrats) were doing, as the only evidence for Russia collusion involves THEM!

1) Newly unclassified docs reportedly state (surprise-surprise) Russians actually wanted HILLARY to win, not Trump! Obama CIA chief Brennan hid the evidence!!

2) Top Putin aids (Vladislav Surkov and Vyacheslav Trubnikov) provided disinformation (fake ‘dirt’) on Trump! (via RUSSIAN AGENT Igor Danchenko) for Clinton campaign/DNC paid-for Steele dossier!!

3) Obama-Biden DENIED desperately requested military assistance to Ukraine
...during the 2014 Russia invasion of Crimea!!

4) $3.5 MILLION from the wife of a former mayor of Moscow! (Elena Baturina) The former mayor of Moscow (Yuri Luzhkov) was a strong advocate for Russia grabbing Crimea. The $3.5 million reportedly passed hands on or very soon after the SAME MONTH that Russia invaded Crimea! (Feb-Mar 2014). Obama admin did nothing but provide them food rations and blankets! They had begged him for military equiptment.

5) Burisma owner [Mykola Zlochevsky] was/is a RUSSIA ALLY! Joe Biden’s son worked for and brought in millions from Burisma. Joe is ON VIDEO BRAGGING about extorting the Ukrainians into firing the prosecutor who was investigating his son and the corrupt RUSSIA-ALLIED owner of the company.

6) For 8 years the Obama-Biden-Clinton admin immensely HELPED the Russians, via Obama’s promised and delivered “flexibility” on missile defense, the Russia-favoring New Start nuke treaty, the Putin-loving Iran deal (Iran and Syria are pawns of Russia in the oil/gas-rich Middle East), the Uranium-One deal, where Obama-Hillary allowed Russia to take ownership of 20% of our uranium production!

7) They (Obama-Biden) deliberately slashed OUR military to pieces. Fortunately, Trump has since brought it back times 10.

Steele’s Dossier Source Was a Suspected Russian Spy

Andrew C. McCarthy, National Review, Sept 26, 2020

In an effort to depict Donald Trump as if he were in an espionage conspiracy with the Kremlin, the Obama administration used bogus information, from a man the FBI suspected was an actual Russian spy”

It turns out that Igor Danchenko, the man the FBI suspected of being an actual Russian spy, initially provided the bogus information about the American, Carter Page, through a former British spy, Christopher Steele.

Through a couple of cut-outs, Steele had been retained by the Clinton campaign to dig up — or, alas, to make up — Russian dirt on Trump. Through his private intelligence business in London, Steele was known to be working for Russian oligarchs, while Danchenko was on Steele’s payroll.

That is, the Clinton campaign, and ultimately the Obama administration, colluded with Russians for the purpose of accusing Donald Trump of . . . yes . . . colluding with Russians.”

Thanks, and sorry for all those weird “A” keyboard characters. They’re the result of FR’s html programming not accepting the type of quote marks I used. Meanwhile, the post looked fine in Preview. Apparently the problem only shows up in the final product. Can be easily remedied with a different choice of quote mark or apostrophe. Too bad we can’t edit after posting, else I would have tried another type.

Quite alright I found it very informative.
I should also point out over the Summer Putin defacto took over the U.N. human rights Council no major media reported it or even hardly any conservative alt-underground media either for that matter.
with that he has control of the U.N. blue helmets I believe Russia is looking for the Red Dawn attack a few ways they’re looking A. CWII get Biden and the Alt-left to start a false flag that will ignite a kinetic civil war that warrants U.N. Blue helmet intervention led by communist Russia while fully backed by Red China.
Or B. Get Biden, to start up a false provocation of some type that justifies and warrants major Russian retaliation.
Over the summer Russian/China proxy North Korea was sending secret messages to their cells via by/in Mexico the Iranians this week attempting too infiltrate our Southern border which I took as probing

Re: Hunter Biden and Burisma

Ukrainian gas giant Burisma is owned by Mykola Zlochevsky, a close ally of Russian president Putin. In fact, he was an official in the “puppet” regime that Putin had installed in the Ukraine through a rigged election [energy minister and deputy national security council chair]. The former ‘puppet’ president was thrown out of office in 2014 following Ukraine’s “Euromaidan revolution” and immediately went into hiding in Russia where he remains today wanted in Ukraine for the crime of high treason.

That said...

“PUTIN’S FRIEND was paying Joe’s son three, four, five, possibly more, millions of dollars. And he got under investigation.”

—Rudy Giuliani
______________________________________________

Giuliani, Sean Hannity show, Fox News, May 2019:

GIULIANI: He [Hunter Biden] was working for the most corrupt company in the Ukraine [Burisma]. He was working for a Ukrainian oligarch who was being protected by Putin. The same Putin that we have been hearing about for all this time, right? Imagine that.

GIULIANI [continuing]: Putin’s friend was paying Joe’s son three, four, five, possibly more, millions of dollars. And he got under investigation. And Joe bragged two years later that he got the prosecutor general fired. He just left out of it that the prosecutor general was investigating his son and his son’s crooked boss [Putin’s friend]. And then afterwards, the case disappeared.

Massive bribe to stop Ukraine probe of Burisma founder intercepted

by Bradford Betz | Fox News | June 14, 2020

[excerpt]
Ukrainian officials on Saturday announced they intercepted a $6 million bribe attempt to stop a criminal investigation into the president of Burisma ...”

[Ukraine’s anti-corruption prosecutor Nazar] Kholodnitsky and the head of the national anti-corruption bureau, Artem Sytnik, said the bribe was intended to encourage their offices to halt a probe of Mykola Zlochevsky, the head of Burisma and a former minister of ecology. Zlochevsky was accused of using his ministerial position for personal enrichment.

Three people, including a high-ranking tax service official, have been detained in connection with the attempted bribe, officials said Saturday.

In a statement, Burisma claimed the company had nothing to do with any bribe attempt.

“Neither Burisma Group President Mykola Zlochevsky nor other employees of the company have any relationship to the voiced events,” the company said. “Mykola Zlochevsky didn’t ask for anyone to commit wrong actions and never contributed to such actions.”

BIDEN: We’re not going to give you the billion dollars.

They said, you’ve got no authority. You’re not the president.

The president — I said, call him.

I said, I’m telling you. You are not getting a billion dollars.

I said, you are not getting the billion.

I’m going to be leaving here, I think it was six hours.

Look, I said I’m leaving in six hours, if the prosecutor is not fired, you are not getting the money.

Well, son of a (EXPLETIVE DELETED), he got fired.

[Obama] CIA Chief Brennan hid intel saying Russia wanted Hillary win in 2016

May 13, 2020 - Ryan Morgan

Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell is working to declassify documents relating to the investigations of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and, according to Fox News’ Ed Henry, some of those declassified documents will actually show a Russian effort to benefit Hillary Clinton during the election, not Donald Trump.

Henry told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that four or five new batches of intelligence are being declassified, one of which contains an assessment that Brennan sought to suppress, showing that Russia wanted Clinton to win. ...”

“Remember the U.S. intel community came out with that remarkable statement, an assessment that Russia meddled in the 2016 election, and most importantly the intel report claimed that Russia interfered because they wanted Donald Trump to win,” Henry said. “That of course followed the narrative of the now-discredited Steele Dossier.

Well, it turns out Obama’s CIA chief, John Brennan also had intel saying ‘actually Russia wanted Hillary Clinton to win because she was a known quantity, she had been secretary of state, and Vladimir Putin’s team thought she was more malleable...”

=================================================================

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-California), Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, on Robert Mueller’s May 29, 2019 press conference:

Nunes: “Well, he [Mueller] should have been gone after day two.

He has no Russians, except for the Fusion and Clinton Russians, and possibly the dirty cop, the FBI’s Russians, those are the only Russians that he has, to show “connections” to the Trump campaign.

Clearly, the Clinton operation is heavily working with Russians or Russian disinformation. He didn’t take time to look into any of that”

Surkov has spent over a decade moving up in the regime. In 2013, he became Putin’s personal adviser, particularly on Georgia and Ukraine, where Putin has since made major territorial annexations.

Kremlin-wise, Surkov is top-echelon; he’s sometimes referred to as “Putin’s Rasputin.”

Trubnikov is a longtime regime eminence who ran the SVR (Russia external intelligence service, analogous to the CIA) before Putin came to power. Since then, he has continued to be an insider, while moving on to critical positions...”

Re: Maduro allies

The Links Between Black Lives Matter and Nicolas Maduro Revealed

PanAm Post ^ | June 23, 2020 | PanAm Post Staff

[excerpt]
"...while Black Lives Matter claim to oppose police abuse and racism around the world, the organization is simultaneously a great supporter of some of the world’s most brutal and repressive dictators. In particular, the founders of BLM have been staunch supporters and allies of the sanguinary Venezuela dictator Nicolas Maduro and of the Castro regime in Cuba.

In December 2015 Black Lives Matter sent a delegation, headed by the organization’s co-founder, Opal Tometi, to act as observers during the Venezuelan Parliamentary elections of that year. The Maduro regime did not allow accreditation for observers from the Organization of American States, the UN, or the EU. The only accredited observers where from regimes and organizations friendly to the “revolutionary cause.”

Later that same month Tometi penned an article where she espouses, word for word, the regime’s standard text for international propaganda.

“In these last 17 years, we have witnessed the Bolivarian Revolution champion participatory democracy and construct a fair, transparent election system recognized as among the best in the world ,” wrote Tometi about one of the world’s most corrupt voting systems in history.

Earlier in 2015 Maduro was given an award at the Afro-descenndants Summit” held in Harlem. Maduro was invited at the behest of the Black Lives Matter leadership. ..."

It is not clear whether any new arms deals were completed during the visit.

Defense officials said the Russian leader is seeking bases in the region for strategic bomber flights that Shoygu recently promised would include flights over the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. ..."
