Putin wants what he wants: no NATO on Russia’s border. Watch the analysis by Jim Rickards. Geography is history, destiny.
We wouldn’t tolerate a Russian or Chinese united front on our Mexican or Canadian border. It’s a legitimate national security concern on their part given their history, geography and current predicament and development as a nation grappling with its post-Soviet identity and reconstitution after 70 years of communism.
This isn’t 1858 or even 1958. Ukraine will be leveled at whatever cost it takes. Ukraine should be some sort of democratic neutral zone with limited military capabilities. It should not be destroyed, which it will be. Multitudes will die unnecessarily.
NATO and the Biden Regime should have negotiated a deal but statesmanship seems to have taken a back seat to brinksmanship.
Perhaps in a few decades the situation will evolve such that the whole world is subsumed by the Global Regime of Economic Interdependence…a fate as bad or worse than Soviet or Chinese Communism. In that case we’ll all die by Global neo-Marxist bureaucracy: “birth by decree, death by actuarial tables and computer happiness.”
This situation is peculiar. It’s not Israel and it’s not Taiwan.
As far as assassination goes, I know of a person – who he is and what he does – in the United States who lives, right now, in fear of a Putin assassination. That factored in my rant the other day. I do not know what motivates Putin to want to kill him though. Lindsay Graham is a dope.
The amount of asinine rhetoric going on by politicians and ex-Generals during this very serious situation is pretty epic. I can get way with it because I’m not in a position of power. If they were as outraged by the Deep State coup and stolen election, against Trump and the American people, we might actual have some authentic democracy here at home.
As of now we’re in deep shit… A civil war/conflict/uprising is not out of the question in the future. Half the Dems won’t even fight for the country, as a recent survey showed.
Just the Covid/Vax danger controversy alone may prove to be destabilizing as time goes by and people get sick and or die. A friend died of a sudden heart attack this past Monday. She was triple vaxxed. I know of several vax injuries including internal bleeding.
What Putin did and is doing is horrendous. War is horrific. If realizing Putin’s legit national security concern makes me a Putin-Wing Repub then that makes you a New World Order, Neo-Con, NATO-con stooge Repub.
If everyone keeps poking the big bear and it finally lashes out against a NATO country involved in sending weapons into the hot zone will you feel vindicated? Will you say “I told you so?” At that point who cares? It’s on. I’ll fight for the West. But it won’t be a happy fight. Rather it will be pathetic. As is life currently in America…
