Joe's main concern is Briben Inc He's caught between hryvnia and ruble + diamond. So little incursion may be okay.... just like last time former VP Joe Briben was at WH. He has Chinese made blanks at the ready. And has his crack advisor and the smartest man he knows at the ready to secure 17% for the big guy... adjusted for inflation.

My guess is Putin is fkn with Biden's damaged brain. While those close to him make a lot of decisions for him, its his call whether to go to war or not. He knows that, and it makes the situation ever more dangerous.

None of this particular "crisis" makes much sense...

Putin appears to have painted himself into a corner.

Nothing much of anything a communist does makes sense. This explains the current state of country, as well.

The Biden group are geniuses. They say Putin is going to invade (which they pulled out of their azz along with other national security information) and start pulling citizens out of Ukraine.

If Putin does invade, they predicted it in advance.

If Putin does NOT invade (likely), then their great negotiating skills prevented it.


What they do not realize though is it is much harder going into a war then retreating out of one (and they showed the world their incompetence in Afghanistan).


Putin is so worried, he went to the Olympics and I am not sure what kind of corner he painted himself into.

The Crisis in Ukraine Is Not About Ukraine. It's About Germany:

The Ukrainian crisis has nothing to do with Ukraine. It’s about Germany and, in particular, a pipeline that connects Germany to Russia called Nord Stream 2.
Imo, interesting article.

The situation starts to make sense if you follow the money.

The Biden Administration hasn't set a foot wrong here.

My post wasn't about that and in fairness I don't think the Trump Administration would be doing much different.

More to the point the Putin's actions just don't make any sense whatsoever.

Started a military buildup along the Russian/Ukrainian border to try and leverage security concessions.

That article is straight horseshit.

Biden believes in the new green deal. If the article was right, Biden would just offer free windmills and solar panels to the German people
