    Russia continues to mass assets within range of Ukraine - though the official explanations are that they are for various exercises. United States intelligence has noted that Russian operatives in Ukraine could launch 'false flag' operations as a predicate to invasion. The West has pressed for negotiations and on Friday in Geneva, the US Sec. State Blinken will meet with the Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov.

    Certainly the Russian movements evidence some plan - but what is it? Some analysts believe that Putin's grand scheme involves securing Western commitments that NATO would never expand beyond its current composition. Whether that means action in Ukraine or merely the movement of pieces on the chess board remains to be seen.


    VIENNA — No one expected much progress from this past week’s diplomatic marathon to defuse the security crisis Russia has ignited in Eastern Europe by surrounding Ukraine on three sides with 100,000 troops and then, by the White House’s accounting, sending in saboteurs to create a pretext for invasion.

    But as the Biden administration and NATO conduct tabletop simulations about how the next few months could unfold, they are increasingly wary of another set of options for President Vladimir V. Putin, steps that are more far-reaching than simply rolling his troops and armor over Ukraine’s border.

    Mr. Putin wants to extend Russia’s sphere of influence to Eastern Europe and secure written commitments that NATO will never again enlarge. If he is frustrated in reaching that goal, some of his aides suggested on the sidelines of the negotiations last week, then he would pursue Russia’s security interests with results that would be felt acutely in Europe and the United States.

    There were hints, never quite spelled out, that nuclear weapons could be shifted to places — perhaps not far from the United States coastline — that would reduce warning times after a launch to as little as five minutes, potentially igniting a confrontation with echoes of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

    Then there's this forking guy! I'm 99% sure that I would drop him on sight, he is evil in its purest form.



    My mom goes to church with him. She name drops him ALL THE TIME. She thinks he is the most amazing, humble, and godly man. I'm like....how can you not see he is a snivelling snake? He is NOT a good person. He has totally sold out all of his values in service to president Krasnov. Almost every time I see him on TV, whatever he is saying is a blatant, easily disproven lie. They don't even hide it anymore.....they just do evil right out in the open and the christian right loves them for it. So forking weird. My wife and I ask ourselves daily is this real? Are we dreaming or is it a matrix style computer simulation? These things cannot be happening.

    Funny story....as I said, she name drops him constantly. She always says stuff like "anyone messes with me or my family I got friends in high places I can call"...."he is such a good man and he would do anything that I asked him to do"....stuff like that.

    Last year I found myself in a difficult legal situation here in Germany where one phone call from the speaker of the house would have likely ended the whole thing. So I took her up on the offer to call her friend in a high place. Even though he is a snake, I would gladly accept help from a snake if it saves me 15-20k in lawyer fees.

    She said she would call him and ask....then a week later she said "he's the speaker of the house it's not like I have his phone number I don't know what you want me to do."

    Lol....my brother in Christ it is YOU who has been saying for 2 years that he is your good friend and you can call him for a favor anytime...lol.

    Yep. They talk a big game, but rarely if ever live up to the hype. If anything, it's the opposite.

    And the maddening thing is they can't see their own hypocrisy. The total lack of self-awareness drives me nuts.

    He convened the House GOP for a prayer before going out and gutting Medicaid (a health care program especially important to the disabled and impoverished) and a program that literally gives food to people who might otherwise starve.

    That says all you need to know about their faith.

    Donald Trump has said the U.S. should prioritize curbing illegal migration rather than “worrying about Putin”, days after the president’s explosive row with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelesnky.

    Trump took to his Truth Social platform Sunday evening for his first comments on the Russia-Ukraine war since the president and Vice President JD Vance accused the Ukrainian leader of “gambling with World War III” in a widely criticized at the White House press conference on Friday.

    “We should spend less time worrying about Putin, and more time worrying about migrant rape gangs, drug lords, murderers, and people from mental institutions entering our Country - So that we don’t end up like Europe!,” he wrote.

    Earlier Sunday, Trump shared a 600-word commentary from Michael McCune, an Arizona-based wedding DJ, who praised him for playing Russia and Ukraine “like a master chess player.”

    “Trump played both sides like a master chess player. In the end, Zelenskyy will have no choice but to concede, because without U.S. support, Ukraine cannot win a prolonged war against Russia,” McCune wrote. “And once U.S. companies have mini g operations in Ukraine, Putin will be unable to attack without triggering massive international consequences.”

    He concluded: “In this game of chess, he’s 10 moves ahead of everyone.”........

    nope.

    This is all part of the propaganda campaign to pressure Zelensky to step down. They want to install a puppet, who THEN will AGREE on US coming in to take control of the rare earth minerals as well as oil/gas.

    Once a "yes man" is installed, no invasion needed. We will be invited in.

    I suspect part of Trumps address tomorrow night will be additional rhetoric toward Zelensky to try to win over the US majority and if that gets accomplished, he will move on toward our European allies to pressure them soon after ( if it hasnt already begun behind closed doors )

    That weak attempt at a distraction will certainly keep the true believers inline and that letter from the DJ proves that fact. However, the damage has been done and there isn't a damn thing he could do to undo it, nor do I believe he wants to undo the damage because damage was their goal.
     




    pressure campaign just getting cranked up today.



    Ugggh. Zelensky should not accept any deal that involves giving up their sovereign territory or mineral rights.

    To me it looks like Trump and Putin are in cahoots to just rob that country blind. They very likely came up with this pressure plan together.
