Ukraine Says it Has Now Been Invaded by a Second Country

 Western Journal

. . ."Latvian Defence Minister Artis Pabriks said Belarusian troops had crossed the border into Ukraine, the U.K.’s Mirror reported on Tuesday.

“ 'I am very much concerned that Russian troops, following orders from the top, will go into the mode similar to that President Assad was using against his population,” Pabriks said, referring to Syria’s Bashar al-Assad.“This basically means we have two aggressives at this moment officially,” he said.

"Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said in a statement his nation had not invaded Ukraine, according to Fox News.

However, he said Tuesday that Belarus was deploying more troops on its border with Ukraine, Reuters reported, citing the state news agency Belta.

“Those are well trained rapid deployment groups which are ready to stop any provocation and any military action against Belarus,” Lukashenko said.

What To Do With the Left After Their Coming Spanking › American Greatness

 Beware hopes too high; anything short of expectations can be taken as a triumph for the left. TD


Conrad Black

The day is now not far off when wokeness, American self-hate, foreign appeasement, and the indulgence of criminal and corrupt organizations like Black Lives Matter will end. 

"Even as the giant Potemkin village of Democratic Trump-hating self-righteousness crumbles week by week, the last gasp is audible: the grotesquely overstaffed January 6 committee investigating the events at the Capitol on that day last year is full of belligerent former prosecutors who, in interviews with the New York Times and others, acknowledge that they are pursuing their task as if they were after prominent alleged gangsters. The Congress has no power to indict and all it can do is claim to unearth facts that would justify an indictment from  Attorney General Merrick Garland. Garland claims to believe that parents concerned about critical race theory and other subjects taught to their children are a principal threat to public order in the United States. Though he is in lock-step with the far-Left policy agenda of the administration, even he might not be prepared to indict a former president on such a weak set of facts as this case presents.

"The FBI director, Christopher Wray, reported shortly after January 6, 2021 that there was no evidence connecting those who had trespassed and vandalized the Capitol with the Trump campaign. They’ve detained hundreds of alleged Capitol trespassers without trial for many months, presumably subjecting them to the customary American prosecutor’s interrogations designed to extort useful evidence with threats of indictments or release and immunity from perjury charges, (with reckless disregard for accuracy). 

"The entire impetus to attack Trump is inspired by the desperate partisanship of a failed Democratic administration and Congress awaiting a severe electoral rebuke in November, and facing an array of apparently well-founded investigations themselves. The Trump-haters have been trying desperately to create the necessary ambiance of righteous unction; reputable commentators like George Will and Peggy Noonan refer to the incident at the Capitol as “1/6” to confer upon it the infamy of 9/11 and to confirm the George Will view that he and his staff were in physical danger on that particular January 6, even  though they were miles away from the Capitol. The even more lapidary Thomas Friedman at the New York Times is of the opinion that January 6, 2021 ranks with Pearl Harbor and 9/11, as well, of course, as the imaginary Russian influence on the 2016 presidential election that he endlessly touted.". . .

Slow Joe digs in against opening up US energy production to checkmate Russia

Is John Kerry behind all this?

 Monica Showalter   "It's the easiest thing in the world: cut off Russia's oil earnings and watch its war against Ukraine collapse.

"A U.S. oil embargo on Russia would destroy its cash stream which is financing 30% of its government, including its attack on Ukraine.

"In a war, at least one you want to win, you cut off supply lines.  Grant and Sherman understood this.  But General Biden is a little different.  He wants to keep Putin getting that money until Bad America reforms to a green energy system to his liking.  He has a live war in front of him; he has the solution on the table; and instead of taking that solution, he sticks to his green energy "priority."

"Here's how bad it's gotten:

"Transferring the entire economy to unreliable green energy, number one, is never going to happen.  Scott Johnson at Power Line explained that clearly in 2020: it won't happen because there aren't enough rare earth minerals out there to create all the batteries and greenie retrofits, even if China would gladly sell to us, to get the job done.   

"The Bidenites, though, are sticking to their pie-in-the-sky green energy dream even if it means continuing to bankroll Putin's war.  Psaki even called the whole idea of opening up America's domestic energy production to make our country energy-independent a "misdiagnosis."

"Other Democrats yakked about opening the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which Joe has done before.  How'd that work out for him?". . .



Biden Handed over Intelligence to China on Ukraine, China Gave It to Russia

 Neon Nettle

"After one diplomatic exchange in December, U.S. officials got intelligence showing Beijing had shared the information with Moscow, telling the Russians that the United States was trying to sow discord — and that China would not try to impede Russian plans and actions," the report adds.

"Democrat Joe Biden has reportedly been handing U.S. intelligence to China regarding Russia's plans to invade Ukraine, which the Chinese Communist Party has been giving straight to Vladimir Putin, according to reports.

"Biden’s administration has been turning over intel on Ukraine to Communist China for months, The New York Times is reporting.

"Admin officials hoped to attempt to get China to convince Russia to not invade, according to the Times.

"However, the plan backfired after it emerged the Chinese regime has been funneling the intel to Russia to aid with their invasion". . .

Those people are deadly serious and more than capable; standing against a Liberal-led country that stands for mere silliness in all its dealings. TD

Trump Blames Biden’s Weakness for Emboldening Russia

  National Review   


. . ."Biden’s term has been marked by soaring inflation, supply shortages, exorbitant gas prices, illegal aliens flooding the country, spiking crime and lawlessness in cities — and foreign adversaries behaving aggressively because they do not fear or respect American leadership, Trump said. 

“ 'China is threatening Taiwan. Russia is decimating Ukraine. Iran is on the cusp of a nuclear bomb,” Trump said. He went on to slam Biden for the reckless exit from Afghanistan. While public opinion always favored withdrawal, Biden had no escape plan, leaving a power void to be occupied by the Taliban, he said.

" “Joe Biden has turned calm into chaos, competence into incompetence, stability into anarchy, and security into catastrophe. The Russian attack on Ukraine is appalling. It is an outrage and catastrophe that should never have been allowed to occur. It never would have occurred,” Trump said.

"Touting his administration’s triumphs on energy independence via the Keystone XL pipeline, a secure border, and a presidential term without a single armed conflict overseas, Trump said Biden reversed all the progress that he made. 

“ 'You could take the five worst presidents in American history and put them together and they would not have done the damage that Joe Biden and his administration has done in just a very short 13 months,” he said.

" Trump said the mayhem in Europe could have been avoided if the 2020 election hadn’t been rigged, a theory he has maintained since that loss. 

“ 'Under our leadership, the world was a peaceful place because America was strong, and the perception of our country was perhaps like it had never been before. Powerful, cunning, and smart. We were a smart country. Now we are a stupid country. We always very simply put America first. That was the answer,” he said.' ". . .

True or not, the report on Biden is the scary part.

But the convoy is growing, as is the working-class contingent of the Republican Party, regardless of attempts by the corporate media to misrepresent both. Moreover, no amount of “insurrectionist” theater by United States Capitol Police and the Democrats will convince the public that these truckers are violent extremists. Presumably, there will be protestors on the mall Tuesday, but they won’t be from “The People’s Convoy.” This group of truckers will be in Missouri, expanding their convoy, when our embattled president reads his first SOTU script, hoping to convince a skeptical electorate that he has a clue. Those 7-foot fences and tactical vehicles can keep the people away from him, but they can’t conceal the truth.

John Kerry’s Dream War Is 1967 Star Trek TV Episode

If Putin had asked Kerry’s advice on how to invade Ukraine, Kerry would have advised using electric tanks (stopping once every 5 kilometers to recharge), helium balloons and bio-degradable bullets. Maybe he’ll draft a new set of Geneva Conventions….

 

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics     "On February 23, 1967, the 23rd Star Trek episode, “A Taste of Armageddon,” first aired on television. I saw it as a kid. 

"Precisely 65 years later, on February 23, Russia invaded Ukraine. No doubt for the 23rd time.

"The irony could not have been lost on present day John Kerry, who surely found time to watch Star Trek in his Yale dorm room while scheming his political future. The viewing would prove formative for him (as it was for me, but in a different direction), as evidenced in his recent statements condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Rather, not the invasion itself, but the presumed deleterious “climate change” effects brought on by the physical manner of the invasion. Not the thousands of war fatalities, not the dangerous destabilization of global power balances and world peace, but instead, the theoretical risk of global air temperature rising by, who knows?, as much as 0.000001 degree Fahrenheit.

"Oh why?, laments Monsieur Kerry, why oh why can’t wars be fought without using fossil fuels to power tanks and fighter jets? Why must we persist in using high power explosives? Why do refugees choose to dash away to Romania in comfy Boeing 747s instead of tromping 800 miles over frozen snow the way war refugees traditionally flee?

"Which brings us directly to the 23rd episode of the original Star Trek, “A Taste of Armageddon.' ” . . . 

Biden's approval rating drops before his first State of the Union Address

 Biden's approval rating drops before his first State of the Union Address (msn.com)


"According to a new poll, President Joe Biden's approval rating among Americans has hit an all-time low with growing frustration over inflation and the economy.

"The poll, conducted by ABC News and the Washington Post, found that just 37% of Americans currently approve of the president, with 55% disapproving.

"Biden's approval numbers are down 4% since November and 15% since April of 2021 when Biden had been in office for only four months, the poll found.

"The low poll numbers for Biden are giving Republicans an advantage going into the 2022 midterm election when the GOP will look to regain control of Congress, the poll released Sunday showed.

"The poll found that 54% of Americans think Republicans would better handle the economy, while only 35% believe Democrats would. As for who they want in control of Congress, 50% supported the GOP, with 40% backing Democrats.

"Those who responded said they think Republicans could act as a check on Biden and his policies better than Democrats could.". . .

HARVARD: 62% say Putin would not invade Ukraine if Trump were president | ADN América (adnamerica.com)  "A clear majority of American voters say Russian President Vladimir Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if former President Donald Trump had still been in office, according to a new poll released Friday.

"The survey, conducted by the Harvard Center for American Political Studies (CAPS) and The Harris Poll, found that 62% of registered voters polled said that Trump would have deterred Putin from taking military action in Ukraine if he were still president. Looking only at those who identified with a political party, 86% of Republicans and 38% of Democrats answered this way.

"59% of Americans polled also believed Putin moved on Ukraine because he saw weakness in current President Joe Biden, while 41% said it was not a factor.". . .

It was predictable and logical for Putin to invade during Biden's tenure-and NOT during Trump’s - The Liberty Loft  . . ."Both ISIS and Putin correctly perceived Obama as a cavalier and pretender. While Trump was in charge, even the worst dictators backed off; Qasem Soleimani read Trump differently, and he left little else behind but a ring finger.

"With a feeble and effete Joe Biden, both because of his nearly half-century of public failures and partly due to health, age, and cognitive limitations not under his control, he invites Putin aggression, Chinese economic and military dominance, and the return of North Korea’s Kim Jong-un,.

"That is the price people pay when they treat presidential elections cavalierly: a world up-ended, jobs lost, an economy ruined, energy resources wasted, racial divisions elevated, national security jeopardized, public education in free-fall, thousands more murdered in inner cities, a border in chaos, and who knows what else the cards have in store for us.". . .

Trump Knew How to Handle Putin. Biden Has No Clue. - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

It took only one year for our fearless leader to plunge us into chaos on a global scale.

. . ."When Donald Trump sought the presidency, however, Democrats whose liberal turn had consigned the Cold War and the Kennedy Cuban Missile Crisis to derision suddenly decided that Russia and Putin actually could be useful to have as a “world’s worst problem” on some level. At least enough so that, if handled masterfully, Russia and Putin could be converted into electoral allies to help Hillary Clinton at the polls. Suddenly, Democrats said Russia was our most fearsome antagonist, with Trump treasonably in cahoots. We all know the sordid tale: Clinton cash, the Perkins-Coie law firm, Fusion GPS, the Steele Dossier, Strzok and his lover Page, Comey and FBI corruption, leaks to the New York Times via a Columbia law professor, John Brennan, McCabe — the whole fetid, putrid lot of them. All bit players in a Clinton–Media Academy Award entry “The Russia Hoax.” At its core, Trump was in bed with Moscow, from political corruption to other sprinkled rumors, and Putin now supposedly had the goods, compromising him forever.". . .

"President Volodymyr Zelensky praised his fellow countrymen for their bravery in taking up arms and fighting the Russian superpower as it continues to steamroll tanks and armored vehicles into the nation’s capital, Kyiv.

“Today Russia attacked the entire territory of our state,” Zelensky said in a television address that honored Ukrainian forces. “And today our defenders have done a lot.”


“They defended almost the entire territory of Ukraine,” he continued. “Which suffered direct blows. They regain the one that the enemy managed to occupy.” . . .

 Ukraine's Fate Is Rooted in a Tragic History - Michael Barone (jewishworldreview.com)

 Similarly, former President Barack Obama, despite his ridicule of Mitt Romney's anti-Russia statements, was unable to stop Putin from annexing Crimea and effectively seizing Luhansk and Donetsk in 2014. Interestingly, the only president this century during whose term Putin hasn't seized territory was Donald Trump, a Putin pawn according to the Russian collusion hoax.. . .

There is plenty to criticize in Biden's stumbling performance. But Ukraine's unhappy situation is, once again, the product of much tragic history.
