A virulent claim is circulating in right-wing media and among some Republicans that the United States might be working on biolabs in Ukraine. This assertion, which echoes Russian propaganda and implies that the United States and Ukraine are collaborating on something nefarious and dangerous, has been sharply refuted by Biden officials and independent experts.
I even heard (because of where I live and I listen, seldom speak) Putin is arresting members of the pedophile ring that is so plaguing children around the world… you know, the one that involves all the Dems and half of Hollywood… but not one of those Hallmark actors. Some days I feel like I’m losing my mind.
How tight ( and lengthy) does the sanction "vice" have to become to squeeze out a shift? This approach ( which I totally understand) is giving Putin lots of time to destroy and eradicate.
Also, TC, would appreciate your thoughts on the mixed message of: "the Russian offensive is not going as planned " VS "the Russian troops are taking yet another city"???
Lot of birds migrate between Ukraine and Russia? Bird migration is generally north to south, not west to east. But then the Russians and Fox News know their marks will believe anything.
China is also pushing the same line of DIS-information. It seems Ji has made his decision to stand with Putin at least for the time being. My guess is the calculation is that the west will tire of the situation if Putin can just keep up the killing and destruction. I heard someone say from a forum held at Columbia a couple of days ago, that China will step in and buy up assets at fire sale prices. I feel as though the western alliance is being flummoxed by a guy who is holding the world hostage, even as he escalates the war. The word is he's bringing in mercenaries from Syria. It would really be something if one day we heard that Eric Prince has a contract for his own mercenaries. Given the crowd around the former "president" I would not be surprised at all. President Zelensky believes Putin is bluffing about using a nuclear weapon. I'm not so sure. One thing however is certain, Putin will destroy the entire nation of Ukraine in order to prove he can do whatever he wants, and to see if he can cause the former "republics" to freeze in the headlights along with the NATO alliance. Western countries have been so busy building the globalized money making apparatus they have forgotten what it means to live under the actual threat of yet another totalitarian fascist regime which Russia under Putin has become. And don't forget - Erdogan is no hero. He's an autocrat within NATO. I still believe he fomented a "coup" himself in order to crack down on dissidents. Plus he hangs with Putin. So the lines are never clear.
