But Russian President Vladimir Putin recognised them only on Monday, paving the way for the official presence of Russian troops in the rebel-controlled areas that occupy about a third of Donetsk and Luhansk.

T. Belman. From my point of view, it is the US that risks nuclear war. The US policy should have been to embrace Russia rather than alienate her.  The US believed in its own supremacy and wanted to dominate Russia. In the end American hubris  brought about the demise of  American dominance and the NWO.

The pot is calling the kettle, black 

The US is reaping what it sowed.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told Newsmax Friday that President Joe Biden is a “feckless” commander in chief who is a “major cause” of the war in Ukraine.

“When it comes to foreign policy, [President] Joe Biden has managed, for over two years now, to get everything exactly backwards,” Cruz said during an appearance on Newsmax’s “The Chris Salcedo Show.” “He has managed to alienate and abandon our friends and allies and, simultaneously, to show weakness and to show appeasement to our enemies.”

Blumenthal backs up his claims with links and videos but you cavalierly dismissed his case last time around…and keep in mind he came out with this March 2022 right at the beginning of the war. Still valid today only more so.

A survey conducted by the Panels Politics Institute, under the direction of Dr. Menachem Lazar, and published in Ma’ariv, found that if Knesset elections were held today, the coalition parties would receive only 55 seats, while the opposition would get 65.

Yesh Atid would become the largest party with 27 seats, while the Likud would drop to just 26. The biggest beneficiary of the Likud’s shrinking would be the National Unity party led by Benny Gantz, Gideon Sa’ar and Gadi Eisenkot, which according to the survey, would increase to 19 seats.

The rest of the results: Shas – 10, United Torah Judaism (UTJ) – 7, Otzma Yehudit – 7, Labor – 5, Hadash – Ta’al – 5, Religious Zionism Party – 5, Yisrael Beytenu – 5 Meretz – 4.

“I was a senior U.S. diplomat 20 years ago during the Second Intifada…a lot of what we’re seeing today has a very unhappy resemblance,” CIA Director Bill Burns said recently.

Middle East watcher Dan Byman declares: “The odds of a third intifada are higher than they have been in years.”

A protest march at the University of Michigan in January featured chants of “Intifada! Intifada! Long live the intifada!”
