What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:31-37
The big claim is Putin is insane for attacking Ukraine while ignoring our own crazy Clown. If you were to set them side by side minus the senility and you would have to judge the Puppet President far more irrational, then Vlad. How in the world do you get to a position where you are buying oil from Putin, so you do not have to pump better less polluting oil from Texas or PA? Is there any more insanity than helping to finance the very war you are condemning?
Vlad has set the sanity bar pretty low with this invasion but somehow the selected President managed to limbo under it somehow. The past two years of mental gymnastics over the virus was only a warmup for the coming World Wars and rumors of wars. In reality how could a Communist Dictator not attack a country they wanted to own which is one of the best catches of the old Soviet Union. A world vacuum in leadership is bound to be filled and Putin is simply filling that void.
How more insane is it to ravage a country you have had long conflicts with or attacking your own country and destroying your own citizens financially and spiritually? Please answer that question DNCNN and MSDNC rather than your endless prattle on the warped mind of Putin.
For the past fifty years we have heard how superior a form of economics and gummit Communism is to Capitalism.
Communism is all about fairness and equality taking the evil Capitalist out of the equation. Of course, they always leave out the attacks on neighboring countries or the purging of their political enemies, but Marxism is always superior to their hated free market economies.
Never mind Capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than all the Communist and Dictatorships combined, they always ring the Commie bell. Right now, the world is seeing two Socialist dictators looking at two prizes they have wanted for decades and no policemen on duty. The police officer is more insane than they are and has no clue as to where he is or if he did have been purchased by both dictators. In Ukraine’s case he has taken bribes from them and Putin which counters anything he may want to do and that does not even go to the potential extortion material they may own.
Not only are Putin and Slow Joe insane they are both hardcore Marxists. They believe in centralized planning is far superior to freedom even though every time delegating to the boots on the ground has won, they are dictators at heart and one person makes all the decisions. You can see the results of that with the Covid plans where everything was planned and dictated from Moscow on the Potomac forcing the country to take a risky vax while wearing a useless mask. They even micro-managed hospital protocols which were ineffective at curing the disease and dismissed any other treatments which had superior results.
You saw more centralized planning as they took the withdrawal of Trashcanistan and made every move that had been planned out by the people in country and redrew the plans with academic scholars who made every decision inside the beltway. Not to worry about people falling off the planes or thousands of Americans left to die, their Communist friends at PravdABC were more than happy to hide as much of the disaster as they could, covering the one death at Jan 6 rather than the withdrawal fiasco. Same lies different day.
Putin is finding the same thing with centralized planning in war. He is taking his robots who are not allowed to make a single decision without Moscow’s approval, and it is quickly becoming a quagmire. The Ukrainian troops are partially trained but a substantial percentage of them now are resistance fighters with all decisions made at the tip of the spear. This is how America won WWII with on-the-fly decisions rather than running it up the chain and back down leaving troops dead by the time the decision is made if it ever is.
Now we have three insane leaders running the world. It appears the most insane is the one in the basement of the White House trying to put knives in light sockets while he fills his diaper. This is not a good look for the world or America however it is all there is thanks to the rigged election. If the elites would have had one ounce of compassion, they would have let Bernie win who is the sanest of the bunch, rather they needed a complete puppet and in walks JoeBama. The last thing Barak wanted was a person who would not follow orders completely.
Now Putin is doing what is expected of a Russian leader, conquer your neighbors. There is nothing insane about this decision since it is the same decision which has been made since Peter the Great and he would love to be considered Vlad the Great. Most Americans would trade him straight across and have him close our Southern border while letting the energy industries get stronger than ever before. Putin does not hate his country like the puppet master hates America. Sadly, America has the crazy dictator.
Pray for Ukraine

American Idol 20 Years
I checked in on this, the 20th episode of American Idol. Kelly Clarkson, one of my favorite daytime divas, was winner of the FIRST American Idol and I remember her well. Like I said, she now hosts her own daytime talk show and is one of the judges on The Voice.
At any rate, I rather enjoyed this first show with the new "platinum" ticket for various cities.
One big surprise was Aretha Franklin's granddaughter showed up as a contender. The female AI judge want to pass her through. I heard the child sing (she was very young, in her teens I think) and she did well but compared to the many other singers that are now in the top 20, she was not quite there.
At any rate, all of the singers were good and I look forward to listening to the contenders and see who wins.
Not only are Putin and Slow Joe insane they are both hardcore Marxists. They believe in centralized planning is far superior to freedom even though every time delegating to the boots on the ground has won, they are dictators at heart and one person makes all the decisions.
You can see the results of that with the Covid plans where everything was planned and dictated from Moscow on the Potomac forcing the country to take a risky vax while wearing a useless mask.

There are three main reasons that Putin attacked Ukraine among others.
They are:
1. Free the war torn Donbass region where many of those loyal to Russia and under duress since 2014 by the Ukrainian army and Nazis are getting desperate. Also,recently it was alleged that Ukraine was getting ready to release more bio-weaponry on the Donbass area suggesting it would not be the first time.
2. Destroy the bio labs in the Ukraine:

3. Get rid of the Azov Nazis:
The Resurgence of Nazism in Ukraine
BY LUKE BEIRNE
During the Holocaust, over 1.2 million Jewish people were murdered by Nazis and their collaborators in Ukraine.
Ukraine is now experiencing a militarized resurgence of Nazism. In 2014, a Ukrainian neo-Nazi militia called Azov Battalion was formed to combat Russian separatism. It was then incorporated into the national guard, making it an official part of the Ukrainian military.
There is no secrecy about the unit's ideological commitments. Azov members wear uniforms adorned with SS symbols, swastikas, and patches celebrating Nazism. Its leader once stated that “The historic mission of our nation in this critical moment is to lead the White Races of the world in a final crusade for their survival.”
Azov Battalion has not only been legitimized by the Ukrainian government but has received support and training from both Canada and the United States. The unit's officers have spoken publicly about the training they have received from Western military powers and the support that they have in Ukraine's diaspora communities in North America.
In 2018, Canadian military officials specifically met with the battalion. They expressed concern only that their meeting might be exposed by the media, not because of the unit's ideological commitments. As Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland’s grandfather was a Nazi collaborator in Ukraine during the Holocaust, there is absolutely no excuse for ignorance on this front.
American officials have also been photographed meeting with Azov members. The United States has supplied the unit and, in 2015, a bill was even modified by the Pentagon specifically to remove a clause that intended to prevent military funding and supplies from reaching Azov.
Neo-Nazism is not a fringe movement in Ukraine. It has been steadily gaining a foothold, working its way back into the state, and maintains a presence in both the police and military, the most immediate arms of the state's repressive apparatus. Nazism in Ukraine is also enabling the strengthening of the ideology elsewhere.
It has been alleged that an underground division of Azov recruits white supremacists youth across Europe and offers them military training. Azov allegedly collaborates with American neo-Nazis, and American neo-Nazis have even travelled to Ukraine to fight.

Excellent. History repeats itself. Our MSM once again focused on creating a counter narrative .
It’s now Putin as Vladimir the Impaler .
This as you point out deflects from the real point that without a strong US president to offset the fecklessness of NATO and UN this type of action is to be expected.
How about using Russia as the interlocutor to get us back into the JCPOA with Iran? One of the provisions we have agreed to is to allow Iran to store its enriched uranium in Russia. We are giving away the store with this agreement.
There is now a high level US delegation in Venezuela negotiating with the Maduro regime. I bet they are trying to get oil from them to replace the Russian oil, which has now become a political liability.
