Let me reiterate. I am not rooting for Putin to win or to lose. If Ukraine simple caves and Putin wins. That’s OK by me The way things are going now it appears he can only win by raising the ante. I hope he doesn’t. I hope he instead finds a graceful way to back down. This will require Ukraine to make some concessions.

FANTASTIC MONOLOGUE.

Originally published under the title “Biden’s Political Myopia Endangering Europe: Allow the EastMed Pipeline.”

In January 2022 the Biden administration withdrew American support for the Eastern Mediterranean pipeline (EastMed) because it was antithetical to its “climate goals,” thereby preventing the diversification of energy supplies to Europe.

Once again U.S. President Joe Biden’s strategic miscalculation is coming with a strategic cost: appeasing NATO’s pro-Putin, part-time ally Turkey and jeopardizing Europe’s energy security.

The past several years saw the East Mediterranean turning into a slow-fuse time bomb sitting over rich hydrocarbons claimed questionably by Turkey as a stand-alone regional force versus an alliance of Greece, Cyprus and Israel.

A recent study of Maricopa County mail ballots in the state’s 2020 presidential election estimates that more than 200,000 ballots with mismatched signatures were counted without review, or “curing” – more than eight times the 25,000 mismatched signatures that the county acknowledged required curing.

According to its final report, the signature verification pilot study was conducted by Shiva Ayyadurai’s Election Systems Integrity Institute, which was requested by the Arizona State Senate. In addition to being an engineer and entrepreneur, Ayyadurai holds four degrees from MIT and claims to be the inventor of email – a claim that his critics claim is exaggerated.

With Russia rolling through Ukraine, making clear gains in both Kharkiv in the east and the capital in Kiev, the US military has scrambled to vacate multiple bio weapons labs that it runs in Ukraine.

Beyond the Pentagon’s speedy retreat from various laboratories across Ukraine, the US government erased all online documents in PDF form related to America’s connection to the laboratories.

T. Belman. Independently of what Turley has been saying,  I came to similar conclusions.  I said the West was responsible for the war and that Putin’s demands were reasonable. I also show my distain for what America has become due to the takeover by the NWO.

Does the United States want the job of keeping neighbor from invading neighbor around the world?

By Daniel Greenfield, FPM    Feb 28/22

The great East-West divide in Europe isn’t what it used to be. During the Cold War the independent Western republics faced off against Eastern Communist dictatorships in thrall to Moscow.

Now the Western side of the divide are part of a regional union whose mission is to diminish nationalism and national independence, while on the Eastern side all the nationalism that had been suppressed by Communism reigns unchecked.

L Goudsmith.  I think this is the best explanation of the COVID19/Russia-Ukraine connection. It helps to substitute the word globalist for  Biden

Political medicine’s COVID19 narrative is falling apart as the truth of it surfaces-> Russia/Ukraine narrative deflects attention from Covid crimes -> people are “gifted” with having restrictions lifted -> meanwhile the Digital Vaccine IDs are quietly being rolled out in 21 states.

Once the IDs are accepted as the “new normal” and the required 5G networks are in place to digitize all personal, medical, and banking information -> GAME OVER.

Game-changing news has emerged out of Iceland.

As of this week, Iceland is the first country in the world to completely drop ALL Covid measures. There will be no lockdowns or social restrictions. There will be no mandatory Covid testing and if you happen to catch Covid you do not have to isolate. There will be no vaccine passports and no vaccine mandates. Anyone regardless of their vaccination status can travel to the country with no test required. The unvaccinated will not face any form of discrimination or exclusion from society.

• Biden surprised EastMed partners by abruptly withdrawing U.S. support for the pipeline on January 9, thereby effectively killing the project, preventing a diversified supply of energy to Europe, and further assuring even greater revenues for Russia and its war machine.
• “The Biden Administration’s actions in this matter are particularly objectionable and hypocritical in light of its tacit approval of Russia’s Nord Stream pipeline, which will only deepen Europe’s energy dependence on a volatile adversary.” — U.S. Representative Gus Bilirakis, January 24, 2022.

To retain our deterrence abroad, we must tighten our belts at home, pump oil and gas, start to balance our budget, junk wokeism as a nihilist indulgence, and recalibrate our military.

By Victor Davis Hanson, AM GREATNESS February 27, 2022

One of the oddest commentaries about the Russian invasion of Ukraine is the boilerplate reaction that “borders can’t change in modern Europe” or “this does not happen in the 21st century.”

But why in the world should the 21st century be exempt from the pathologies of the past 20 centuries? Are we smarter than the Romans? More innovative than Florentines? Do we have more savvy leaders than Lincoln or Churchill? Are they more mellifluous than Demosthenes? Does anyone now remember that some 130,000 were slaughtered just 30 years ago in the former Yugoslavia, as NATO planes bombed Belgrade and nuclear America and Russia almost squared off?

For many years, Vladimir Putin has complained about the injustice of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the loss of Russia’s rightful hegemony of the former Soviet Republics. In 2005, he said “the demise of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century… Tens of millions of our citizens and fellow countrymen found themselves outside the Russian Federation.”

By tying itself to a reckless and dangerous America, the Ukrainians made a blunder that client states will study for years to come

BY LEE SMITH, TABLET

Russian President Vladimir Putin chose this war, Joe Biden said in his Thursday afternoon speech to America regarding the conflict in Ukraine. That is true, but U.S. elites also had something to do with Putin’s ugly and destructive choice—a role that Democrats and Republicans are eager to paper over with noble-sounding rhetoric about the bravery of Ukraine’s badly outgunned military.

Yes, the Ukrainian soldiers standing up to Putin are very brave, but it was Americans that put them in harm’s way by using their country as a weapon, first against Russia and then against each other, with little consideration for the Ukrainian people who are now paying the price for America’s folly.

The agreement to hold talks came the same day President Vladimir Putin put Russia’s nuclear deterrent forces on high alert.

By NBC News    Updated Feb. 27, 2022, 5:24 PM IST

Ukraine on Sunday agreed to talks with Russian officials in neighboring Belarus, after initially rejecting the idea, while Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his country’s nuclear deterrent forces to be on high alert.

In a statement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he spoke with Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko and agreed to meet with the Russians “without preconditions.” Zelenskyy earlier said his government would not attend negotiations in Belarus, a close ally of Moscow’s where thousands of Russian troops massed in the lead-up to last week’s invasion.

For the last few days it’s been impossible for me to think about anything other than the war in Ukraine:

• Full-scale warfare in Europe. Europe! I know I’m showing my “white” bias, because after all, millions have died in vicious conflicts in places like Nigeria or Somalia; but still, this isn’t supposed to happen in the civilized world (no, Nigeria and Somalia aren’t civilized).
• The heroism of Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who has remained in the capital of his besieged country, knowing that Russian special forces operators are looking for him, and who told US officials who had offered to evacuate him from the country, “the fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.”
