Jeff, we gotta admire a man who can deal with hurricane damage, trial prep, publishing a daily newsletter, and STILL find time to set up a multiplier. It is an honor to know you, sir.
Chesterton was widely reported to have had the ability to write two different essays at the same time - one with his left hand, the other with his right.
As unbelievable as that sounds, it would at least explain Jeff Childers astounding work output.
I don't doubt the ability. It's rare, but I've read of such. If one is interested, it's fascinating to read brain studies of patients who have had a surgical intervention to cut a part of the brain that connects left and right hemispheres. (No cite, sorry). Our "brain" is literally two distinct halves, each with different capabilities.
Indeed it did. But only because Queen Hillary was foiled. Looks like they were gearing up for war in 2014 in anticipation of Hillary’s ascendency to the throne. Trump derailed that. But they still had to keep the heat on Russia and cooked up Russiagate and spent the last 4 years blaming Putin and Russia for everything. Propaganda 101.
Now that the lapdog Biden is in office, they can finally get the war with Russia they’ve been angling for since 2014. Trump bought us time. You can see why they pulled out every stop to make sure he wasn’t elected again.
Like all the Covid crimes, by the time the election business gets adjudicated by any official measure, the damage will have been done.
Commit the crimes and don’t worry about the consequences because there won’t be any, at least not for several years.
Now the answer as to WHY they want war to start WWIII with Russia is less clear. I can speculate but the real reason will probably not be clear for some time, probably in retrospect long after the catastrophic damage has been done.
"Now the answer as to WHY they want war to start WWIII with Russia is less clear."
The West is collapsing e.g. its fiat money debt fuelled binge for the past few decades. They want to blame someone for it. They will blame Putin and Russia. They also believe that WWII got us out of the depression and a WWIII with Russia can do the same... Also, much of the West's fossil fuel infrastructure would get destroyed e.g. Europe/UK is dependent on undersea pipelines. They can implement their green agenda - at least in Europe...
It would seem that Putin's unabashed nationalism stands in direct opposition to the NWO. Taking him out and replacing him with a WEF puppet seems critical to their plans. It would allow not only for the rape and pillage of Russian natural resources, but would stage the next step in the NWO progression, which is China.
And his promotion of Orthodox Christianity and traditional values (sure, its politically expedient for him to do so)... Same with the Serbs when 100,000 came out for an Orthodox procession to march against the sacred Europride event and next thing you know, there is trouble in Kosovo... Againnnnn....
Unfortunately, those are "features" of wartime and lawless epochs from the dawn of human history. I'm not justifying barbarity, only telling the truth. Man is still an animal. At the best of times, with a thin veneer of civilization attempting to restrain bestial instincts. To wish it away will be as successful as attempting to persuade a lion to become vegan.
I think that this is basically right. I would add that it is a nationalism which 1) aims to cultivate a rise in the standard of living, 2) promotes sound financial and development policy, 3) recognizes that borders and sovereignty equate in terms of jurisdictional integrity, and 4) that no society can thrive in chaos.
The biggest thing Putin accomplished was a shift from Soviet ideology to re-instituting the Russian Orthodox Church as a basic point of moral reference. The one thing we in the West should understand that One World Woke Globalism hates, demonical hates Christian religion. Why? Because Wokies cannot and will not tolerate any religion which is an obstacle competitor to its presuppositional world view. That is, in the Wokie universe, separation of church and state really means marginalization of Christianity ahead of outright elimination.
The problem is in Russia the church is run by the state. It’s a dead religion. They preach their own woke gospel. The chief executive is so wealthy he makes Zelensky look like a plebe.
The chief of the Russian Orthodox Church said dying in Ukraine will cleanse you of your sins.
One has to look no further then the Bible and in particular the Book of Revelation. These are Satanic forces out to destroy everything in their path. We KNOW these things must happen, and the end will come. And a new heaven and a new earth. Besides that there is no other rational explanation.
I get so scared sometimes in watching what is happening. Then I remember Who wins, and that, no matter how bad it gets, it is all just temporary. And I know where I am going.
And I know where THEY are going. They are gonna have quite the reckoning when that happens. I wouldnt wanna be them.
It has been Russia Russia Russia since Putin assumed power and stopped the western bankers from fleecing his country. I think the Trump Russiagate gambit would have been played on anyone from outside The Party. Gotta keep the Ukraine scams going and reopen the Russian lands to the west raiders.
First, I live in the UK which follows the same path as the US, and second its not binary - if I object to what the West now stands for it doesn't mean I support what Russia stands for.
Surely one factor, if not necessarily the dominant one, is the Eastern European Jews' ancestral hatred of Russia. For similar reasons, more recently they had good reason to loathe Germany. Even though the actual persons affected are long dead (generations ago), their descendants don't easily forget injuries real or imagined. These people are very insular, very highly educated and they gravitate to powerful positions in private and public life, in numbers far beyond what their tiny share of the "host" population would suggest. Although this comes off as sounding anti-Semitic, consider that it is, or I intend it, as a neutral observation of a general historical truth. Outsized Jewish roles in governments, commerce and other power centers, in large part, explains (I didn't say "justifies") the periodic upheavals over the centuries that have ended badly for them: pogroms, purges, exiles or worse.
I’m no fan of DJT, but I think what you’ve said here about Trump’s election derailing the NWO / WEF plans for the war between the Russians and Ukes is highly probable.
When a Russian dictator gets it more right than America’s “leaders,” well, it’s a fascinating turn of events. I sure don’t like being ashamed of my country. Looking forward to the real one, a better one:
But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.
God is bringing all of this out into the open. I also believe he is opening Christians' eyes to remind us that we are not of this world, as you share with the scriptures today. I hope Christians are seeing that while we should be praying for this world and our leaders, primarily our eyes need to be fixed on God and Jesus'return - not on Trump, Biden, Putin, or anyone.
Yes! We need to remember that this is not our final home, but what we do (or don't do) here is what determines where we go when we die. I much prefer Heaven and God. Everything happening now is a spiritual battle --satan doesn't want anyone to go to Heaven and is doing his best to prevent people from knowing, loving and serving the true God. Be vigilant. Be faithful.
Agreed, and I feel compelled to add that, after reading Putin's speech, I cannot agree with our esteemed host that Putin has whitewashed the USSR's history here anymore than is to be expected in a speech meant to uplift and glorify a purported effort to preserve an historical homeland.
Putin has roundly repudiated Russia's tragic Communist experiment in the past, so he cannot be lauding that when he laments the destruction of the USSR. What he appears to be saying here is that the demise of the USSR was tragic because it destroyed an integrated system of nation states AND that the union was dismantled unwisely by USSR officials (without public support, he says) as well as, subsequently, by a predatory west. Those things seem at least arguable and not particularly dangerous or a departure from what is known.
And this is not really a complete whitewash of Soviet history. He specifically refers to those early officials who set up the original USSR boundaries in pejorative terms, stating that they, too, ignored the will of the people. True, he didn't bring up things like the Holodomor, perpetrated by those same early Communists, but why would he in a speech such as this?
Agreed as to assessment ... and square on the mark. And the 'whitewash' remark, for whatever reason, stood out to me as a glaring blemish. HOWEVER, who else other than our esteemed host dares to handle this topic forthrightly, bull by the horns ... and so straight up? Those would be the far, the few and in the between ... and only in the alternative reportage.
There is also that Putin famous remark back to Kesenia Sobchak (ксения собчак), "You really don't want to go back to all of that do you." Meaning the Soviet era. I tried to search engine the exchange in English subtitles, but it's been blasted out of the algorithms. I can only find the exchange in Russian on the RU Internet.
I have always found Putin to be logical, deep and complex in his understanding of history and of how the world really works as opposed to rule by sovereign whim, which now seems to be daily bread in the leadership impoverish West.
Back in JAN/FEB, Nuland and Biden announced they would stop the Nord Stream pipelines if Putin's troops crossed into Ukraine.
This turned out to be a hollow threat when Europe stopped using Nord Stream gas long before the "sabotage". So there was no real reason "operatives" to risk nuclear conflict by blowing it up.
Keep in mind that Putin never dispatched his military to protect Nord Stream from Biden's promise during this 7 month period. So it makes sense to me that Putin would decide a false flag sabotage would be easy since Biden and Nuland had already alluded they would sabotage the Nord Stream pipes.
In the public's mind, Putin is now poised to return the favor by a Sabotage on the recently announced Norway/Poland "Baltic Pipeline" thus sending Europe into a hard DEEP-FREEZE where millions could die.
Also, the sabotage makes it impossible for Russia to turn it Nord Stream back on for "humanitarian reasons" after the Baltic Pipeline is sabotaged as Putin's "perceived" act of revenge. The final blame will be pointed to Biden and Nuland for publicly threatening the security of Nord Stream in the first place.
So we could predict the Baltic pipe will be sabotaged by "operatives" loyal to WEF/DAVOS Green News Dealers and be blamed on Russia as a clear act of revenge, thus sending all of Europe into a DARK WINTER.
Remember, these leaders are all actors playing their part on the WEF/DAVOS world stage. Putin is an ACTOR - Not a White-Hat.
“ Well, the Russians will run out of cash before the Europeans run out of energy. And I understand that it’s uncomfortable…” Condoleeza Rice
“ Over the long run, you simply want to change the structure of energy independence. You want [Europe] to depend more on the North American energy platform of oil and gas that we’re finding in North America”. C.R.
US policy today…
Biden said NS II would not happen, and that German perspective or opinion was not even relevant!
I take the assistant Secretary of State’s affirmation that NS II would not function, “ one way or the other “ very seriously.
Also, clear US policy was to create the Ukrainian conflict, and expand it. Russia wants it to end with Russian success.
The circumstances were that disparate European populations were fed up with the sacrifice of their economic lives for an area of Ukraine that voted close to 80 percent for the pro Russian Ukraine party in 2014. .
If and when, and my view is that it is only a matter of when ( due to the severe economic hardship barreling into the German economy) the people demand that the Russian demands are accepted, Russia will have won. Russia’s ace in the hold was the ability to liberate the energy starved broken EU economy.
Russia did not commit severe economic self-harm, and throw away their best chance at ending the Ukrainian venture in success, with some vague hope that they could pin this on the US and drive a wedge between Washington and the EU.
The sane folk in the EU were definitely beginning to drive that wedge for Russia.
The joint One World crowd is in solidarity with expanding the Ukraine conflict. The NS sabotage is highly capable of doing just that; expanding the Ukrainian conflict.
For Russia losing your strongest player, harming your own economic health at a critical juncture, risking getting caught in such a foolish adventure, all for a vague hope of pinning this on the US. (All in all, great risk, definite harms, very uncertain gain)
Additional reasons…
An impoverished Europe with manufacturing shut down benefits US Corporations greatly. $Billions & $Billions. The “threat” of an EU beating the USA economically is removed. ( short sighted and likely long term very wrong, but this has been US thought process)
Russian Gas Revenue gets shifted to USA gas revenue.
It conforms with and accelerates the Zero Carbon goals of Agenda 30 & Paris.
It moves Europe dramatically closer to the desired “Great Reset” status that the Biden Admin and the EU Government advocate. Can’t “build back better” until you have “burned beyond belief” after all.
Russia has continued to deliver gas & oil the whole time with the volume reduced when sanctions prevented Business As Usual. Hardly the actions of someone wanting to hurt their customer.
Forgetting about who performed the sabotage - Nord Stream is cut off from the EU but if Russia still supplies all of Ukraine, Putin has managed to capture all of Ukraine - not just the disputed settlements - in an energy fiat created by Biden;s NATO sabotage. Was this the intended outcome all along? If so, the real players are not Biden and Putin, but more likely the depopulationists at the WEF.
Russia hasn't captured all of Ukraine. The Ukrainians are currently performing massive offensives that are liberating important cities such as Lyman, Kremmina, and moving towards Kherson with a break through.
Ask the Russian sources about Lyman. They are distraught and depressed.
My point is that, because of the Nord Stream disaster, Putin still has nGAS supply to all of Ukraine, not just the disputed territories. If Putin destroys the Baltic Pipe in revenge for the Nord Stream, WEF will succeed in it's goal of energy starvation to the EU.
One critical issue (in my opinion) often overlooked, even by those of us "in the know": for all practical purposes, the mRNA "vaccines" were ONLY deployed in USA/EU and other "Western" nations. Yes boys and girls, that means any and all bad long term side effects will fall on those populations alone and perhaps more tellingly, and heavily on routine and critical personnel in civilian and government positions.
Yes. It's disingenuous for Putin to preach national sovereignty while performing as an operative for Tedros/WHO, WEF and the Davos green new deal of global government. Trump has lost similar credibility for taking proud credit and ownership of the rushed "Warp Speed" clot-shot. These puppets are actors for the Banksters stage of NWO transition
Any comments on Newsome signing AB 2098 into law yesterday?
Here's mine...re this travesty where:
"...a physician or surgeon commits professional misconduct if they disseminate “misinformation or disinformation” about the nature and risks of COVID-19, its prevention and treatment and the development, safety and effectiveness of vaccines."
Doctors “risk losing their medical license, and ... have a duty to provide their patients with accurate, science-based information.”
Who's science? Or, perhaps what science? The science we've all been following in this reality clearly contradicts the grandized and worshipped falsehoods.
We'll see how long it takes for this to be challenged.
Will the doctors in California and the US finally wake up and mobilize out of their fear-state as now they themselves are more directly under attack? Perhaps they could learn some things from those brave enough who have already been holding the line maintaining personal and professional integrity.
I'm waiting for someone to do a parody of Don McLean's American Pie...The Day the Science Died followed up with some song title I can't come up with at the moment where scientific truth is resurrected.
Ohioians...Reminder...Medical Right to Refuse...if we do nothing, we'll gain nothing as clearly evidenced by this California travesty. Medicalright2refuse.com
The vast majority of doctors, it is clear now, will do anything to maintain their income and (now diminishing) prestigious position. Actual patient care is an afterthought, especially for the younger docs vomited out of woke institutions.
I see few doctors are speaking out. Dr. Bhattacharya and others we may already know. Another one is a pediatrician from CA Dr. Elisa Song. I follow her on Fb. Not sure why the rest are still sleeping, they should be up in arms by now, their profession is being diminished to being useful robots following top down plan from Big Pharma and Big gvnmt. Forget about science and art of medicine. This will definitely be challenged in court, hopefully many more will stand up for their right to practice medicine without interference from special interest groups.
She was very reasonable during early days and before jabs for kids were out. She pointed out that most kids were not at risk. I listened to her podcast with Dr. Hyman and it was so different from regular babbling we hear about “ safe and effective “ and “everyone ages 5 and up should get vaccinated.”
Peggy Hall TheHealthyAmerican.org posted about more legislation by Newssolini that will require ALL vaxxing records to be reported to the government. ALL VAXXING!
Conservative Californians are losing ground faster than the sand on our beaches with every wave!
I have stayed here because CALIFORNIA has been my home for every year of my 76 years! But it's a struggle financially...and even worse is the constant onslaught by extreme Left legislation.
I pray nightly...and often during the day...for the LORD GOD to intervene, open the eyes of the deceived and bring to their knees, the wicked ones in government.
Thanks for sharing that AB 1797 passed...news to me...unfortunate news.
For those interested, here's a link to the posting below.
According to one piece of the bill the state has "until January 1, 2026, additionally authorize schools, childcare facilities, family childcare homes, and county human services agencies to use the specified immunization information, for the COVID-19 public health emergency, to perform immunization status assessments of pupils, adults, and clients to ensure health and safety."
What does this even imply? 2026? Immunization status assessments?
Yes...and thanks for the spelling correction...probably an unconscious typo indicating those who are unconscious and think they are the science..think I'll leave it purposefully 😊
If this law had been part of history, think of all of the "science," including medical science that would be considered misinformation. We might still be back in the Dark Ages.
I think we slipped back into the dark ages several years ago, while we were busy living our lives. Sad but true, this didn't happen overnight, been in the making since Clinton, maybe even before.
You are right that there ought to have been a far greater outcry by the VAST MAJORITY of physicians.
I think that most of them were cowed into silence before they even realized what was going on.
There are more who are awake than we realize. They by and large have to remain under the radar lest they have their licenses (and thus their ability to continue helping people) yanked. Just last weekend I learned by word of mouth about a local doc offering early treatment.
Side stepping the heavy events of Putin, Ukraine, and our own corrupt government for a moment….COFFEE! I’m happy to say that I talked to my sister in Ft Myers, and she said that after 2.5 days without coffee, she managed to make some using her propane grill yesterday. She’s strong and resourceful, true Florida spirit! And we’re so very thankful to God that she came through the storm without harm!
"Biden said, “[Putin] can’t seize his neighbor’s territory and get away with it. It’s as simple as that."" Well, how about giving OUR country away to invading forces, and SELLING it to the Chinese? Come on, man!
What has HE done differently than what we see in the USA or Canada, for example? His actions seem to follow a very similar 'narrative'.
As to this - whatever he chooses to call it - war he pursues in Ukraine? Horrible.
No need for ppl to die in this "he said/she said" stupidity.
Many here feel the US and NATO could have helped circumvent this travesty - but seem to have chosen not to do so. Probably 3 sides to THAT coin.
As to jabs? The way he runs his country may just have an EERIE similarity to what has just happened in California, Newsom signing Bill 'AB 2098' - censorship is censorship, no matter what color candy-coating you choose to hide it.
We can go on and on........but it's Sunday - enjoy a beautiful fall day, I hope, sir.
He has filled mass graves with people who just wanted to live. He's created torture chambers and brought back the Stasi and KGB secret police. He's sent his bombers and ships to test our defenses and allied with our enemies.
I'm not familiar with AB 2098. Fill me in?
He is just as bad as some of the most evil people in the west. The difference is, we didn't start this war. He did.
What was Nato supposed to do? What was Ukraine supposed to do?
Now, what would you do in their position and apply it to your own life. Joe Biden wants you to get vaccinated. Would you comply? Why and why not? Why should Ukraine give in to a tyrant who murdered 6 million Ukrainians through forced hunger?
Thanks Jeff. I am mtn biking w 4 other mostly conservative buddies this weekend and most have no idea what to think about Putin/Ukraine and Biden. They only here 1 voice on right, Tucker, questioning the whole narrative. Appreciate you breaking it down for us. October is going to be freaking wild. Stock market crash, inflation high, recession heating up, war in Europe, trans in every part of our culture, and oh a major election in 5 weeks. Buckle up and put our Trust in Jesus!
"Buckle up and trust in Jesus!" Yep. About all we can do (except maybe drink lots of coffee, buy a large farm, build electric fences around it, put in automatic guns for intruders, get everything off grid, build an underground bunker, buy up all the foodstuffs available, plus TP, and hunker down ... Did I miss anything? OR just trust Jesus and hope for a quick death. 😏) Sigh. What a world...
"Every one of those things leads directly to depopulation and civilizational collapse. Radical environmentalists want that, billionaires want that, twitter crazies want that, but well-balanced, moral people DO NOT WANT THAT."
I have been thinking for several years now that the West behaviour is suicidal. Unfettered indiscriminate immigration of millions, many that hate you, is insanely suicidal. Covid, and Covid policy is insane, and possibly homicidal. I suppose the reason to blow up N.-Stream is to make certain Germany and Europe do not capitulate to Russia’s ace, their ability to save the German and EU economy.
Energy is the life blood of EVERY economy, and the entire CAGW doctrine and policy is based on poisoning that life blood. The motive? The goal? Apparently some combination of malthusian ideology, crossed with the desire to rule. “Blue Planet in Green Shackles”
The US GEBs "Greedy Evil Bastards" (working closely with the European GEBs,) appear to be maniacally desperate to harm Russia precisely perhaps because Putin won’t play their One World GOVERNMENT games. And Trump was a beacon to all nations to also not play their “Rule the World” games, and exercise strong self interest. Keeping Trump and Russia apart appears, in retrospect, to have been the deeper benefit of the “Russia Russia Russia” manufactured attack on Trump. The number one goal was to remove Trump and an independent nationalist USA, and two, aligned with that goal, keep the nationalist US and nationalist Soviet Union apart, punish them, and you crush Nationalism everywhere.
Trump’s economic success, and beacon call to rational Nationalism made his removal necessary, made Covid 19 ( almost certainly a man made manufactured crisis) necessary. And Trump’s success was massive and growing! He had dragged China, against their will, back to the negotiating table, India was fully aboard, Mexico was cooperating, Asia was cooperating, Eastern Europe was cooperating, anti indiscriminate immigration ideology was growing, bilateral and tri -lateral trade deals were rewriting global trade with the number one economy and super power in the world, a strong USA. Canada was being dragged , also against their will, to the trade table. Even North Korea was bowing to the Trump doctrine. It took Covid 19, two illegal Impeachment attempts, and “Russia Russia Russia” to stop Trump, and the world from getting on board his train of rational Nationalism.
So blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline, is simply continuing that Malthusian “Rule the World” attack on Sovereign independence, suppressing Russia, while supporting the US puppet, a corrupt controlled Ukraine. These folk could not care less about populations, indeed, populations are the enemy, strong Nations are the enemy.
Controlling a nation is so 20th century passe, just as corporations are global, ruling the world is so tantalizingly close. Breaking a few eggs to make the One World Omelette, now means destroying National Sovereign ideology.
Trump destroyed Putin’s personal army in Syria during the battle of kasham. Even then the US army had numerous flare ups and tensions with the Russians including fist fights which sent the Russians to the hospital. Americans study martial arts, Russians study propaganda
I never asserted they were friends. However they are both patriotic to their respective nations.
I also think they both speak rationally. Putin tried for years to gain Russia respect within European nations, even proposing joining NATO. Trump is very very good and creative at finding workable solutions, solutions that benefit each nation. ( That is how he got Mexico on board, and numerous other examples)
Very clearly the globalist had to keep Trump and Putin from any real communication or deal making. Their mutual rational nationalism was and is a grave threat to their global government plans.
It is best to judge by results. Depending on whom you ask, William the Conqueror was a bloody villain, or a bloody hero in a violent time.
In 20 years, under Putin, Soviet income increased 800 percent per capita. The federal debt went to a budget surplus. They became a powerful net exporter of energy. The freedom to worship was restored. Putin is, beyond doubt, very popular in Russia, and for a reason. He has often disparaged the former Soviet Union, and regularly spoke with pride of Russia.
He may be a bloody dictator, or a bloody hero. To many Russian citizens he is a bloody hero, who restored a rule of law to a collapsed former super power, that was broke, and filled with oligarchs, very very corrupt and brutal ones, all vying for power in the vacuum of the former Soviet Union. I do not know the detailed history of those that disappeared by Putin. ( It is not particularly cogent to current events, and would take hours of reading from various perspectives.)
Nevertheless, it is important to understand the Russian perspective. It is important to understand the history of the Ukraine, the centuries of Russian history there, the decades of NATO expansion, the undeniably large populations in Ukraine that voted 80 percent or higher for a Russian friendly President in 2014, the abuse of those Russian speaking folk in the Ukraine, the outlawing of even speaking Russian, and the evidence that 10,000 to 14,000 were brutally murdered by a Ukrainian regime that was installed partially through US CIA action.
It is also well and proper to understand the history of European invasion of Russia, not that many decades ago, and the millions of lives lost. In that window one can see great concern with Ukraine threatening to join NATO and put nukes on their border. Nobody can effectively broker peace with a person or nation they do not understand.
Jeff, we gotta admire a man who can deal with hurricane damage, trial prep, publishing a daily newsletter, and STILL find time to set up a multiplier. It is an honor to know you, sir.
I can spend hours and hours on a single post. I cannot imagine having a brain- and time-consuming job such as his at the same time. Bravo!
I wholeheartedly agree!!!! Jeff is a national treasure for sure!!!
Ditto - BRAVO BRAVO 👏
Indeed. I'm grateful for his insight, his sense of humor, and his multipliers.
We are blessed to have Jeff in our lives! ✝️💜‼️
Chesterton was widely reported to have had the ability to write two different essays at the same time - one with his left hand, the other with his right.

You are amazing, counselor. (And thank you.)
I don't doubt the ability. It's rare, but I've read of such. If one is interested, it's fascinating to read brain studies of patients who have had a surgical intervention to cut a part of the brain that connects left and right hemispheres. (No cite, sorry). Our "brain" is literally two distinct halves, each with different capabilities.
We do.
Amen to that!! And thank you Jeff!!🙏🏻🙌🏼♥️
Completely amazing... I wonder who's helping him....hmmm

So subtle I don't get it. :D :D
That goes for me too! Simply amazing Jeff!
Simply amazing, Jeff.
Simply amazing Jeff.
Works either way! :D
“It just took until 2022 to get there.”

"Now the answer as to WHY they want war to start WWIII with Russia is less clear."
The West is collapsing e.g. its fiat money debt fuelled binge for the past few decades. They want to blame someone for it. They will blame Putin and Russia. They also believe that WWII got us out of the depression and a WWIII with Russia can do the same... Also, much of the West's fossil fuel infrastructure would get destroyed e.g. Europe/UK is dependent on undersea pipelines. They can implement their green agenda - at least in Europe...
It would seem that Putin's unabashed nationalism stands in direct opposition to the NWO. Taking him out and replacing him with a WEF puppet seems critical to their plans. It would allow not only for the rape and pillage of Russian natural resources, but would stage the next step in the NWO progression, which is China.

Same with the Serbs when 100,000 came out for an Orthodox procession to march against the sacred Europride event and next thing you know, there is trouble in Kosovo... Againnnnn....
What orthodox values include looting, rape, torture, and murder?
Unfortunately, those are "features" of wartime and lawless epochs from the dawn of human history. I'm not justifying barbarity, only telling the truth. Man is still an animal. At the best of times, with a thin veneer of civilization attempting to restrain bestial instincts. To wish it away will be as successful as attempting to persuade a lion to become vegan.
Generally, Russian armies violate the laws of armed conflict as a general rule.
Western ones don’t.
I think that this is basically right. I would add that it is a nationalism which 1) aims to cultivate a rise in the standard of living, 2) promotes sound financial and development policy, 3) recognizes that borders and sovereignty equate in terms of jurisdictional integrity, and 4) that no society can thrive in chaos.
The biggest thing Putin accomplished was a shift from Soviet ideology to re-instituting the Russian Orthodox Church as a basic point of moral reference. The one thing we in the West should understand that One World Woke Globalism hates, demonical hates Christian religion. Why? Because Wokies cannot and will not tolerate any religion which is an obstacle competitor to its presuppositional world view. That is, in the Wokie universe, separation of church and state really means marginalization of Christianity ahead of outright elimination.
“That is, in the Wokie universe, separation of church and state really means marginalization of Christianity ahead of outright elimination.”
Exactly right.
The problem is in Russia the church is run by the state. It’s a dead religion. They preach their own woke gospel. The chief executive is so wealthy he makes Zelensky look like a plebe.
The chief of the Russian Orthodox Church said dying in Ukraine will cleanse you of your sins.
Where in the Bible is that?
'Suffer little children to come unto me'?
Why is Hunter taking Russian money still?
Why did he take almost 4
Million dollars from a guy connected to the mayor of Moscow?
😉
One has to look no further then the Bible and in particular the Book of Revelation. These are Satanic forces out to destroy everything in their path. We KNOW these things must happen, and the end will come. And a new heaven and a new earth. Besides that there is no other rational explanation.

You are so right Kelly! I know where I am going, but I have family members who are not believers and I worry so much for them!
AMEIN
It has been Russia Russia Russia since Putin assumed power and stopped the western bankers from fleecing his country. I think the Trump Russiagate gambit would have been played on anyone from outside The Party. Gotta keep the Ukraine scams going and reopen the Russian lands to the west raiders.
The thing is nobody wants Russia. Russia wants the west.
Russia is the one invading and annexing other nations, not the other way around.
Russia claims Alaska, the Baltics, Poland, and Ukraine as theirs. Problem is, the people there don’t want them there
The point is many of us don't want this West. I for sure would not stand to protect it as it exists today.
Then why live here if it's so horrible? Russia is hurting for conscripts, I mean people.
First, I live in the UK which follows the same path as the US, and second its not binary - if I object to what the West now stands for it doesn't mean I support what Russia stands for.
That is my biggest question. Why?
Surely one factor, if not necessarily the dominant one, is the Eastern European Jews' ancestral hatred of Russia. For similar reasons, more recently they had good reason to loathe Germany. Even though the actual persons affected are long dead (generations ago), their descendants don't easily forget injuries real or imagined. These people are very insular, very highly educated and they gravitate to powerful positions in private and public life, in numbers far beyond what their tiny share of the "host" population would suggest. Although this comes off as sounding anti-Semitic, consider that it is, or I intend it, as a neutral observation of a general historical truth. Outsized Jewish roles in governments, commerce and other power centers, in large part, explains (I didn't say "justifies") the periodic upheavals over the centuries that have ended badly for them: pogroms, purges, exiles or worse.
I’m no fan of DJT, but I think what you’ve said here about Trump’s election derailing the NWO / WEF plans for the war between the Russians and Ukes is highly probable.
Good catch.
Did you notice that Russia only made large military actions during Biden and Obama's and Bush's term?
Trump was a wild card and had no problems using force on them.
Poland and Ukraine were all aboard with Trump.
Melania was from a formerly communist country and didn't want to go back.
When a Russian dictator gets it more right than America’s “leaders,” well, it’s a fascinating turn of events. I sure don’t like being ashamed of my country. Looking forward to the real one, a better one:
But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.
— Hebrews 11:16 NASB1995
God is bringing all of this out into the open. I also believe he is opening Christians' eyes to remind us that we are not of this world, as you share with the scriptures today. I hope Christians are seeing that while we should be praying for this world and our leaders, primarily our eyes need to be fixed on God and Jesus'return - not on Trump, Biden, Putin, or anyone.
Yes! We need to remember that this is not our final home, but what we do (or don't do) here is what determines where we go when we die. I much prefer Heaven and God. Everything happening now is a spiritual battle --satan doesn't want anyone to go to Heaven and is doing his best to prevent people from knowing, loving and serving the true God. Be vigilant. Be faithful.
Perfectly said Sheryl!
Agreed, and I feel compelled to add that, after reading Putin's speech, I cannot agree with our esteemed host that Putin has whitewashed the USSR's history here anymore than is to be expected in a speech meant to uplift and glorify a purported effort to preserve an historical homeland.
Putin has roundly repudiated Russia's tragic Communist experiment in the past, so he cannot be lauding that when he laments the destruction of the USSR. What he appears to be saying here is that the demise of the USSR was tragic because it destroyed an integrated system of nation states AND that the union was dismantled unwisely by USSR officials (without public support, he says) as well as, subsequently, by a predatory west. Those things seem at least arguable and not particularly dangerous or a departure from what is known.
And this is not really a complete whitewash of Soviet history. He specifically refers to those early officials who set up the original USSR boundaries in pejorative terms, stating that they, too, ignored the will of the people. True, he didn't bring up things like the Holodomor, perpetrated by those same early Communists, but why would he in a speech such as this?
Agreed as to assessment ... and square on the mark. And the 'whitewash' remark, for whatever reason, stood out to me as a glaring blemish. HOWEVER, who else other than our esteemed host dares to handle this topic forthrightly, bull by the horns ... and so straight up? Those would be the far, the few and in the between ... and only in the alternative reportage.
There is also that Putin famous remark back to Kesenia Sobchak (ксения собчак), "You really don't want to go back to all of that do you." Meaning the Soviet era. I tried to search engine the exchange in English subtitles, but it's been blasted out of the algorithms. I can only find the exchange in Russian on the RU Internet.
I have always found Putin to be logical, deep and complex in his understanding of history and of how the world really works as opposed to rule by sovereign whim, which now seems to be daily bread in the leadership impoverish West.
Back in JAN/FEB, Nuland and Biden announced they would stop the Nord Stream pipelines if Putin's troops crossed into Ukraine.
This turned out to be a hollow threat when Europe stopped using Nord Stream gas long before the "sabotage". So there was no real reason "operatives" to risk nuclear conflict by blowing it up.
Keep in mind that Putin never dispatched his military to protect Nord Stream from Biden's promise during this 7 month period. So it makes sense to me that Putin would decide a false flag sabotage would be easy since Biden and Nuland had already alluded they would sabotage the Nord Stream pipes.
In the public's mind, Putin is now poised to return the favor by a Sabotage on the recently announced Norway/Poland "Baltic Pipeline" thus sending Europe into a hard DEEP-FREEZE where millions could die.
Also, the sabotage makes it impossible for Russia to turn it Nord Stream back on for "humanitarian reasons" after the Baltic Pipeline is sabotaged as Putin's "perceived" act of revenge. The final blame will be pointed to Biden and Nuland for publicly threatening the security of Nord Stream in the first place.
So we could predict the Baltic pipe will be sabotaged by "operatives" loyal to WEF/DAVOS Green News Dealers and be blamed on Russia as a clear act of revenge, thus sending all of Europe into a DARK WINTER.
Remember, these leaders are all actors playing their part on the WEF/DAVOS world stage. Putin is an ACTOR - Not a White-Hat.
Russia did it eh?
US policy 8 years ago
“ Well, the Russians will run out of cash before the Europeans run out of energy. And I understand that it’s uncomfortable…” Condoleeza Rice
“ Over the long run, you simply want to change the structure of energy independence. You want [Europe] to depend more on the North American energy platform of oil and gas that we’re finding in North America”. C.R.
US policy today…
Biden said NS II would not happen, and that German perspective or opinion was not even relevant!
I take the assistant Secretary of State’s affirmation that NS II would not function, “ one way or the other “ very seriously.
Also, clear US policy was to create the Ukrainian conflict, and expand it. Russia wants it to end with Russian success.
The circumstances were that disparate European populations were fed up with the sacrifice of their economic lives for an area of Ukraine that voted close to 80 percent for the pro Russian Ukraine party in 2014. .
If and when, and my view is that it is only a matter of when ( due to the severe economic hardship barreling into the German economy) the people demand that the Russian demands are accepted, Russia will have won. Russia’s ace in the hold was the ability to liberate the energy starved broken EU economy.
Russia did not commit severe economic self-harm, and throw away their best chance at ending the Ukrainian venture in success, with some vague hope that they could pin this on the US and drive a wedge between Washington and the EU.
The sane folk in the EU were definitely beginning to drive that wedge for Russia.
The joint One World crowd is in solidarity with expanding the Ukraine conflict. The NS sabotage is highly capable of doing just that; expanding the Ukrainian conflict.
For Russia losing your strongest player, harming your own economic health at a critical juncture, risking getting caught in such a foolish adventure, all for a vague hope of pinning this on the US. (All in all, great risk, definite harms, very uncertain gain)
Additional reasons…
An impoverished Europe with manufacturing shut down benefits US Corporations greatly. $Billions & $Billions. The “threat” of an EU beating the USA economically is removed. ( short sighted and likely long term very wrong, but this has been US thought process)
Russian Gas Revenue gets shifted to USA gas revenue.
It conforms with and accelerates the Zero Carbon goals of Agenda 30 & Paris.
It moves Europe dramatically closer to the desired “Great Reset” status that the Biden Admin and the EU Government advocate. Can’t “build back better” until you have “burned beyond belief” after all.
Russia has continued to deliver gas & oil the whole time with the volume reduced when sanctions prevented Business As Usual. Hardly the actions of someone wanting to hurt their customer.
In my comment above from “additional reasons” on, I am quoting EM Smith at his blog here… https://chiefio.wordpress.com/2022/09/30/less-than-an-hour-the-world-changes/#comment-160356
( highly recommend)
Forgetting about who performed the sabotage - Nord Stream is cut off from the EU but if Russia still supplies all of Ukraine, Putin has managed to capture all of Ukraine - not just the disputed settlements - in an energy fiat created by Biden;s NATO sabotage. Was this the intended outcome all along? If so, the real players are not Biden and Putin, but more likely the depopulationists at the WEF.
Russia hasn't captured all of Ukraine. The Ukrainians are currently performing massive offensives that are liberating important cities such as Lyman, Kremmina, and moving towards Kherson with a break through.
Ask the Russian sources about Lyman. They are distraught and depressed.
What more needs to be said?
Or are you saying Russia is in kyiv right now?
My point is that, because of the Nord Stream disaster, Putin still has nGAS supply to all of Ukraine, not just the disputed territories. If Putin destroys the Baltic Pipe in revenge for the Nord Stream, WEF will succeed in it's goal of energy starvation to the EU.
Is Putin right on the Covid shot?
https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/putin-sputnik-v-and-mass-vaccination
Well said, thanks
I’m guessing you got the Sputnik shot which Putin has taken?
One critical issue (in my opinion) often overlooked, even by those of us "in the know": for all practical purposes, the mRNA "vaccines" were ONLY deployed in USA/EU and other "Western" nations. Yes boys and girls, that means any and all bad long term side effects will fall on those populations alone and perhaps more tellingly, and heavily on routine and critical personnel in civilian and government positions.
So the johnson and johnson vaccine is safe?
The sinovac and nova vax are okay to take?
Good to know 😉
Yes. It's disingenuous for Putin to preach national sovereignty while performing as an operative for Tedros/WHO, WEF and the Davos green new deal of global government. Trump has lost similar credibility for taking proud credit and ownership of the rushed "Warp Speed" clot-shot. These puppets are actors for the Banksters stage of NWO transition
California Physicians SILENCED
Any comments on Newsome signing AB 2098 into law yesterday?
Here's mine...re this travesty where:
"...a physician or surgeon commits professional misconduct if they disseminate “misinformation or disinformation” about the nature and risks of COVID-19, its prevention and treatment and the development, safety and effectiveness of vaccines."
Doctors “risk losing their medical license, and ... have a duty to provide their patients with accurate, science-based information.”
Who's science? Or, perhaps what science? The science we've all been following in this reality clearly contradicts the grandized and worshipped falsehoods.
We'll see how long it takes for this to be challenged.
Will the doctors in California and the US finally wake up and mobilize out of their fear-state as now they themselves are more directly under attack? Perhaps they could learn some things from those brave enough who have already been holding the line maintaining personal and professional integrity.
I'm waiting for someone to do a parody of Don McLean's American Pie...The Day the Science Died followed up with some song title I can't come up with at the moment where scientific truth is resurrected.
Ohioians...Reminder...Medical Right to Refuse...if we do nothing, we'll gain nothing as clearly evidenced by this California travesty. Medicalright2refuse.com
The vast majority of doctors, it is clear now, will do anything to maintain their income and (now diminishing) prestigious position. Actual patient care is an afterthought, especially for the younger docs vomited out of woke institutions.
“Just following orders”. Most doctors now are just part of the ever expanding corporate hierarchy, not unlike the cubicle slave in any other industry.
I see few doctors are speaking out. Dr. Bhattacharya and others we may already know. Another one is a pediatrician from CA Dr. Elisa Song. I follow her on Fb. Not sure why the rest are still sleeping, they should be up in arms by now, their profession is being diminished to being useful robots following top down plan from Big Pharma and Big gvnmt. Forget about science and art of medicine. This will definitely be challenged in court, hopefully many more will stand up for their right to practice medicine without interference from special interest groups.
Thank you for mentioning Dr Song - a new name to me. Cheers to her!
She was very reasonable during early days and before jabs for kids were out. She pointed out that most kids were not at risk. I listened to her podcast with Dr. Hyman and it was so different from regular babbling we hear about “ safe and effective “ and “everyone ages 5 and up should get vaccinated.”
Note to the whole country:
Remember this when the Newt runs for Prez. It may or may not be in 2024, but he will run when Obama says to.
Who is NEWT?
Scumbag Gavin Newsom, Gov of CA.
He’s no good at all.
Peggy Hall TheHealthyAmerican.org posted about more legislation by Newssolini that will require ALL vaxxing records to be reported to the government. ALL VAXXING!
Conservative Californians are losing ground faster than the sand on our beaches with every wave!
I have stayed here because CALIFORNIA has been my home for every year of my 76 years! But it's a struggle financially...and even worse is the constant onslaught by extreme Left legislation.
I pray nightly...and often during the day...for the LORD GOD to intervene, open the eyes of the deceived and bring to their knees, the wicked ones in government.
Thanks for sharing that AB 1797 passed...news to me...unfortunate news.
For those interested, here's a link to the posting below.
According to one piece of the bill the state has "until January 1, 2026, additionally authorize schools, childcare facilities, family childcare homes, and county human services agencies to use the specified immunization information, for the COVID-19 public health emergency, to perform immunization status assessments of pupils, adults, and clients to ensure health and safety."
What does this even imply? 2026? Immunization status assessments?
Praying for you in California! 🙏🙏🙏

"Whose science?".....The "experts" of course.
Yes...and thanks for the spelling correction...probably an unconscious typo indicating those who are unconscious and think they are the science..think I'll leave it purposefully 😊
I had to re-type it myself🤪. I'm constantly doing stupid crap like that....their, there, they're, etc....without even thinking.
If this law had been part of history, think of all of the "science," including medical science that would be considered misinformation. We might still be back in the Dark Ages.
I think we slipped back into the dark ages several years ago, while we were busy living our lives. Sad but true, this didn't happen overnight, been in the making since Clinton, maybe even before.
You are right that there ought to have been a far greater outcry by the VAST MAJORITY of physicians.
I think that most of them were cowed into silence before they even realized what was going on.
There are more who are awake than we realize. They by and large have to remain under the radar lest they have their licenses (and thus their ability to continue helping people) yanked. Just last weekend I learned by word of mouth about a local doc offering early treatment.
That is disgusting.
If this were in the 1930s they would say the same about cigarettes (eye roll).
Side stepping the heavy events of Putin, Ukraine, and our own corrupt government for a moment….COFFEE! I’m happy to say that I talked to my sister in Ft Myers, and she said that after 2.5 days without coffee, she managed to make some using her propane grill yesterday. She’s strong and resourceful, true Florida spirit! And we’re so very thankful to God that she came through the storm without harm!
That is great news!!
Great news! Thank you for sharing it!
So glad to hear that she is okay Freebird!!
That is good news indeed.
The press used to hold the government in check. Now the press has to check with the government before they are allowed to publish anything.
Well said!
Succinct.
If 2 cups of coffee gives a 27% reduction in risk, then clearly 4 cups gives a 50%+ reduction!
and 8 cups --> immortality
😂🤣😂
😃☕️
“Coffee is the lifeblood that drives the dreams of champions” “Even little kids in Mexico drink coffee”
My husband has a poster of a man drinking coffee and he's saying, "I can sleep when I'm dead!" 😉😏
"Biden said, “[Putin] can’t seize his neighbor’s territory and get away with it. It’s as simple as that."" Well, how about giving OUR country away to invading forces, and SELLING it to the Chinese? Come on, man!
One thing is certain - Putin has better speech writers than joe does.
LOL!??!?! indeed.
And someone more suited to deliver said speeches!
THAT sounds easy - wouldn't take much 😉
Does he have a better Covid shot?
"Better" is not a word that can possibly be used in conjunction with 'covid shot'.
Who you shilling for, Benjamin ?
People here are all about Putin. He’s made it mandatory for a lot of people.
He made his own Covid shot too. Surely Putin did it right?
Here's a question for you -
What has HE done differently than what we see in the USA or Canada, for example? His actions seem to follow a very similar 'narrative'.
As to this - whatever he chooses to call it - war he pursues in Ukraine? Horrible.
No need for ppl to die in this "he said/she said" stupidity.
Many here feel the US and NATO could have helped circumvent this travesty - but seem to have chosen not to do so. Probably 3 sides to THAT coin.
As to jabs? The way he runs his country may just have an EERIE similarity to what has just happened in California, Newsom signing Bill 'AB 2098' - censorship is censorship, no matter what color candy-coating you choose to hide it.
We can go on and on........but it's Sunday - enjoy a beautiful fall day, I hope, sir.
He has filled mass graves with people who just wanted to live. He's created torture chambers and brought back the Stasi and KGB secret police. He's sent his bombers and ships to test our defenses and allied with our enemies.
I'm not familiar with AB 2098. Fill me in?
He is just as bad as some of the most evil people in the west. The difference is, we didn't start this war. He did.
What was Nato supposed to do? What was Ukraine supposed to do?
Now, what would you do in their position and apply it to your own life. Joe Biden wants you to get vaccinated. Would you comply? Why and why not? Why should Ukraine give in to a tyrant who murdered 6 million Ukrainians through forced hunger?
Thanks Jeff. I am mtn biking w 4 other mostly conservative buddies this weekend and most have no idea what to think about Putin/Ukraine and Biden. They only here 1 voice on right, Tucker, questioning the whole narrative. Appreciate you breaking it down for us. October is going to be freaking wild. Stock market crash, inflation high, recession heating up, war in Europe, trans in every part of our culture, and oh a major election in 5 weeks. Buckle up and put our Trust in Jesus!
I get why your buddies don't know what to think.
Zielinski and his media lies.
Putin and his media lies
Biden and his media lies
I have stopped trying to "get it"
"Buckle up and trust in Jesus!" Yep. About all we can do (except maybe drink lots of coffee, buy a large farm, build electric fences around it, put in automatic guns for intruders, get everything off grid, build an underground bunker, buy up all the foodstuffs available, plus TP, and hunker down ... Did I miss anything? OR just trust Jesus and hope for a quick death. 😏) Sigh. What a world...
Jeff C says;
"Every one of those things leads directly to depopulation and civilizational collapse. Radical environmentalists want that, billionaires want that, twitter crazies want that, but well-balanced, moral people DO NOT WANT THAT."
I have been thinking for several years now that the West behaviour is suicidal. Unfettered indiscriminate immigration of millions, many that hate you, is insanely suicidal. Covid, and Covid policy is insane, and possibly homicidal. I suppose the reason to blow up N.-Stream is to make certain Germany and Europe do not capitulate to Russia’s ace, their ability to save the German and EU economy.
Energy is the life blood of EVERY economy, and the entire CAGW doctrine and policy is based on poisoning that life blood. The motive? The goal? Apparently some combination of malthusian ideology, crossed with the desire to rule. “Blue Planet in Green Shackles”
The US GEBs "Greedy Evil Bastards" (working closely with the European GEBs,) appear to be maniacally desperate to harm Russia precisely perhaps because Putin won’t play their One World GOVERNMENT games. And Trump was a beacon to all nations to also not play their “Rule the World” games, and exercise strong self interest. Keeping Trump and Russia apart appears, in retrospect, to have been the deeper benefit of the “Russia Russia Russia” manufactured attack on Trump. The number one goal was to remove Trump and an independent nationalist USA, and two, aligned with that goal, keep the nationalist US and nationalist Soviet Union apart, punish them, and you crush Nationalism everywhere.
Trump’s economic success, and beacon call to rational Nationalism made his removal necessary, made Covid 19 ( almost certainly a man made manufactured crisis) necessary. And Trump’s success was massive and growing! He had dragged China, against their will, back to the negotiating table, India was fully aboard, Mexico was cooperating, Asia was cooperating, Eastern Europe was cooperating, anti indiscriminate immigration ideology was growing, bilateral and tri -lateral trade deals were rewriting global trade with the number one economy and super power in the world, a strong USA. Canada was being dragged , also against their will, to the trade table. Even North Korea was bowing to the Trump doctrine. It took Covid 19, two illegal Impeachment attempts, and “Russia Russia Russia” to stop Trump, and the world from getting on board his train of rational Nationalism.
So blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline, is simply continuing that Malthusian “Rule the World” attack on Sovereign independence, suppressing Russia, while supporting the US puppet, a corrupt controlled Ukraine. These folk could not care less about populations, indeed, populations are the enemy, strong Nations are the enemy.
Controlling a nation is so 20th century passe, just as corporations are global, ruling the world is so tantalizingly close. Breaking a few eggs to make the One World Omelette, now means destroying National Sovereign ideology.
Well, that’s my take thus far.
Trump and Putin seem to be equal threats to the Globalist.
Trump and Putin are enemies, not friends.
Trump destroyed Putin’s personal army in Syria during the battle of kasham. Even then the US army had numerous flare ups and tensions with the Russians including fist fights which sent the Russians to the hospital. Americans study martial arts, Russians study propaganda
I never asserted they were friends. However they are both patriotic to their respective nations.
I also think they both speak rationally. Putin tried for years to gain Russia respect within European nations, even proposing joining NATO. Trump is very very good and creative at finding workable solutions, solutions that benefit each nation. ( That is how he got Mexico on board, and numerous other examples)
Very clearly the globalist had to keep Trump and Putin from any real communication or deal making. Their mutual rational nationalism was and is a grave threat to their global government plans.
Putin isn’t patriotic at all.
He’s an oligarch who styles himself a tsar.
Why would a patriot sacrifice 60k men and trillions of dollars for a fools’ errand to seize territory and annex it for no reason?
He’d be more focused on making his own country better (like trump did) instead of dragging everyone down
It is best to judge by results. Depending on whom you ask, William the Conqueror was a bloody villain, or a bloody hero in a violent time.
In 20 years, under Putin, Soviet income increased 800 percent per capita. The federal debt went to a budget surplus. They became a powerful net exporter of energy. The freedom to worship was restored. Putin is, beyond doubt, very popular in Russia, and for a reason. He has often disparaged the former Soviet Union, and regularly spoke with pride of Russia.
He may be a bloody dictator, or a bloody hero. To many Russian citizens he is a bloody hero, who restored a rule of law to a collapsed former super power, that was broke, and filled with oligarchs, very very corrupt and brutal ones, all vying for power in the vacuum of the former Soviet Union. I do not know the detailed history of those that disappeared by Putin. ( It is not particularly cogent to current events, and would take hours of reading from various perspectives.)
Nevertheless, it is important to understand the Russian perspective. It is important to understand the history of the Ukraine, the centuries of Russian history there, the decades of NATO expansion, the undeniably large populations in Ukraine that voted 80 percent or higher for a Russian friendly President in 2014, the abuse of those Russian speaking folk in the Ukraine, the outlawing of even speaking Russian, and the evidence that 10,000 to 14,000 were brutally murdered by a Ukrainian regime that was installed partially through US CIA action.
It is also well and proper to understand the history of European invasion of Russia, not that many decades ago, and the millions of lives lost. In that window one can see great concern with Ukraine threatening to join NATO and put nukes on their border. Nobody can effectively broker peace with a person or nation they do not understand.
They are both popular Nationalist.
Exactly what the Globalist hate
Putin isn’t.
He’s an oligarch and a tyrant.
You gotten the Putin Sputnik shot yet?
Very interesting take.
Excellent!
