There is no fricking reason we should be at each other's throats. No reason to hate Russia as all they have been doing is trying to stop aggression by NATO and the war loving neocons. I am not saying to blindly trust Putin, but is more war and more murders (which is what war brings) going to solve anything?
Zalensky needs to pay back every taxpayer dollar we have given him. Or that billions of dollars needs to go to the families of those murdered by an unnecessary turmoil.
So the way to stop NATOs so called aggression is to invade your neighbor? And the aggression is to alow other countries to join NATO? What is Russia afraid of. Has Russias borders ever been threatend? According to trust Putin please go back in history to see all the signed agreements that has been violated. Putin and Russia understand only one thing and that is power. Once KGB always KGB. That is Putin in a nutshell. The only thing US had to do together with Europe was giving Ukraine the weapens to defend themself against the Russian attack. That will tell Putin he cannot win in the long run and after 3 years you now see the sign of a weekened Russian economy giving Putin a headche and more willing to negotiate. Spending dollars on that is the best way to secure the world order as we know it.
As a third-generation Canadian Ukrainian, I can easily demonstrate that much of what the media has told us about this conflict was a lie. The last thing I want is for the beautiful Ukrainian people to die, and at the same time, I certainly don’t want our genetic cousins in Russia to die, either. When Slavs kill each other, nobody wins—except those in the ruling “establishment” that orchestrated this event.
I don’t believe Trump will address the multiple illegal bioweapon labs proven to exist in Ukraine near the Russian border with partial funding from the U.S. government. Nor will he discuss the fact that the Khazarian puppet Zelenskyy was ordered by the U.S. Secretary of State at the time not to sign the Minsk Accord, which he heavily campaigned on. I'm also certain they will never mention the ethnically Russian people in Donbass who were being systematically murdered, setting the stage for Russia to take control of the area. To date, approximately three-quarters of a million Ukrainian men have died—and they were the strongest masculine men the country had to offer. This means the next generation of Ukrainian boys will be raised by the state controlled television—a state that played a significant role in staging this conflict.
Putin warned Ukraine that NATO could not be allowed to move one inch eastward. Of course, Zelenskyy publicly declared a year before the conflict that he fully intended to join NATO. This was all orchestrated to provoke this war, and no solution will ever come through diplomacy as long as the entities controlling the ruling establishment—banks, 94% of the media, search engines, Hollywood, big pharma, immigration policies, and the judiciary—remain in their self-appointed, unelected positions of power! America has serious problems, and none of them will be solved through an election. If a candidate were genuinely going to help the people before the ruling establishment, they would never be allowed to run.
The bitter irony - at least for Zelensky - being that NATO doesn't want and never wanted Ukraine. I heard that weapons supplied by the USA to Ukraine are being sold on by the gangsters - these idiotic operations tend to come back and bite us.
At last common sense is in play!! Hopefully, this will lead to an end to the war that never should have happened. Thank you, President Trump, for reaching out!
The true war against humanity will not be with bullets, missiles or atomic weapons, but with the kind of digital slavery that oligarchs and technocrats like Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Donald Trump (including Putin?) have in mind for all of us who are not powerful or independent enough to exist outside of their Chinese-style, social credit score-controlled, centralized digital currency-throttled digital plantation that they have in mind for all of the rest of us to live and work on, for their benefit, not ours.
The true war on humanity is our belief systems, the ones indoctrinated into us from a society that believes in supremacy. First supremacy of our species and second, supremacy within our species. The attitude of supremacy is anti-biologic, it's the opposite to regenerativity, synergy and art. That attitude puts us into a "field" of paranoia and lack of self-confidence, scarcity instead of abundance and always looking over our shoulder to see who's better than us. It's an insane way to be but that's our society. Those who don't like it need to talk about changing it and work out strategies. It's not going to go away, now's the time for people to get active. But first we need to know what to get active in. So it always begins with dialog.
So, it’s a war for our minds? That has ‘Bernaysian’ connotations to me, a ‘war on beliefs’ ringing as hollow to me as a ‘war on hate’, a ‘war on terror’ or Nixon’s nonsensical ‘war on drugs’, while the CIA makes sure that the cocaine, opiate and fentanyl pipelines remain open for business, regardless of ‘supply chain issues’.
I don’t see much personal ‘supremacy’ getting pushed on my fellow New Yorkers besides the identity politics-associated signaling of “my suffering entitles me to more virtue, and therefore more compassion and status, than yours”. But hopefully we’re finally working our way out of the weaponized politics of “poor me, I’m being victimized by _____ supremacists” and taking a stark, honest look at the ongoing technocratic class war on ALL of humanity for what it is.
OH yeah now that this "special military operation" is essentially over, uncountable numbers dead or wounded , enormous numbers of people relocated to America and other countries trying to survive. Massive war pollution in environment, Black Rock /Vanguard , grabbing resources, land , and rebuilding contracts, Unknown billions LOOTED by both sides , all the criminal conspirators and supporters enriched or PARDONED, NOW orange man gonna ride in like white night hero and save the day , and ANNEX it as well . Disgusting anyone falls for this .
It's all Bullshit. Putin has Trump by the balls. Trump in his first term was sanctioning Russia and arming and training Ukraine during that hoax Minsk agreement. It's laughable that the country that orchestrated this conflict is some how going to be a negotiator to end it. Trump is ignorant of the reality on the ground in Ukraine. Everyone will get what they deserve. Ukraine through their stupidity will lose over a million soldiers and over half of the best part of Ukraine fighting NATO's proxy war. NATO got drained and became aware how ineffectual they are. Russia will get the spoils, plus the experience of fighting in the future of war.
Putin has the upper hand, I agree. The idea Ukraine could ever win this war without it escalating into a global war including the USA was always ridiculous. Of course the MIC just wanted the cash to keep rolling in, and the most rotten faction of the US establishment needed an excuse to keep tensions high, since they benefit. I disagree it's all bullshit though. Putin doesn't want all of Ukraine. He occupies already what he wants, or most of it. He won't stand for Ukraine in NATO. He won't stand for biolabs or Western military bases in Ukraine. The trick is for Trump to give Putin those things without appearing to be too "soft on Putin". I think he'll succeed. Pressure on Zelensky, who is corrupt as they come, will probably be the way he can do it. If Zelensky agrees, that's a lot of cover for Trump. Replacing Zelensky could work too, although that would likely take longer than Trump wants to wait.
John, what you wrote about efforts to end the war in Ukraine sounds good.
But on the flip side Trump (via Musk)effectively shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau which had returned a total of 20 billion dollars to consumers that had gotten ripped off by greedy corporations. He also effectively shut down FICA. the department that insures your bank account up to $250,000 in the case of an economic crisis ( or twice that for a couple), or if a particular bank goes bankrupt which is much more likely an event to occur, like what happened to a couple of banks just last year.
And this shuttering of CFPB and FICA helps people...How??
You said that Trump has been like the Indian warrior Sitting Bull. These last two mentioned items sound like that without the sitting.
That was clear on Trump’s second day… when he said Larry Ellison will be building our future digital prison and AI healthcare system… to inject us with mRNA cancer vaccines - all in the name of better healthcare!!
Russia and the USA were allies in both World Wars.
On economic issues and currency, they can be again. Lots of trade could be facilitated in the future.
The USA needs to leave Europe, NATO and the EU to its own devices. Both prior World Wars were on Europen soil. Kings, Queens but mostly Court Jesters. Europe needs to find another test for its suckling addiction.
John here's another goodie. Can't wait to see what you have to say about this one. Chinese Spy Balloon That Flew Over US In 2023 Was Packed With American Technology: Report
I hope Victoria Nuland and the rest of the neocon crazies are under control somehow. They should, of course, be under lock and key, but that's too much to hope for. They will be weeping their acid tears and gnashing their rotting fangs, as peace and stability is a living nightmare for these people - as long as they don't rise again to cause more mayhem.
Because apparently “millions” of ethnic Russians in that particular region had been killed by Ukraine government forces. This is all well documented information which…. Oops!…, Darn it!… nobody seems to have any validated documented information to back up that claim.
But it seems that Russian government could readily justify supporting separatist movements in Ukraine that didn’t exist despite the lack of credible evidence of Ukrainian government oppression in the region.
It doesn’t take much to convince people of what they want to believe.
Oh well, at least there were those dangerous bio weapons labs located along the border near Russia, labs that were funded by US interests. Yeah, that’s exactly where I would locate multiple sensitive bio weapons facilities that needed to remain secret, wouldn’t you?
And again this is all very well documented information that somehow we no longer have any record of. Like those weapons of mass destruction that Saddam Hussein had in Iraq that brought us into that war, these bio weapons labs seem to have disappeared into thin air.
How mysterious.
…
I would agree that the US CIA meddling in Ukraine internal affairs that brought the Zelensky government into power was a very poor move on our part.
NATO has been steadily encroaching on the Russian sphere of influence ever since the Soviet Union dissolved in 1989. That aggressive encroachment was counter to all neutrality agreements that we, the US, had in place with Russia at that time, agreements that would assure mutual respect and mutual peace in the future. The first thing we did, however, was to take advantage of this opportunity to continue building our / NATO power base at the expense of Russia.
We could have chosen a wiser path forward for long range peace and stability. Instead, with our Cold War “victory” mentality, we chose to exploit this prime opportunity to hobble Russia permanently.
Why? Why couldn’t we envision and then implement a wholesale shift in our focus away from perpetual conflict and war towards mutual respect and peace? This was a chance in a lifetime to shift history towards peace but we instead chose to continue on our path to perpetual war.
Somehow Russia did not appreciate our efforts to establish peace on our terms and felt they had up draw a line somewhere before we destroyed them entirely. Ukraine was that line.
We crossed that line by supporting the Zelensky overthrow of the previous Russia friendly government. That Russia needed to do something drastic to get our attention was inevitable. We forced their hand and are every bit responsible for the death and destruction that has rained down on that country for the past 11 years.
Our government has admitted to having 47 biolabs in Ukraine It was actually a pretty good place for them to remain out of the view of the Western media, although not Russia's.
I did find some links in March 2022 alluding to the development of biolabs in Ukraine by the US State Department. Apparently, we have been funding biolabs throughout the world according to this article from the State Department:
Then there is this statement: The Chinese Foreign Ministry has asserted that "The US has 336 labs in 30 countries under its control, including 26 in Ukraine alone.
No matter how much you hate the MSM, no matter how much you hate the "authorities", it's never enough. I think it's Bongino who likes to say something like this, and I could not agree more.
I was going on memory, 47 seemed right. Internet search says it's actually 46.
We each need to do thorough research for ourselves, not rely on authority to tell us the whole truth and not rely on dissenting opinions to be fully truthful either. How we come to our own understanding will depend on how much we care about an issue.
For most people, living busy daily lives, having information processed and spoon fed to them is all they want or need. Whether it is verifiable truth or not doesn’t matter to most people as long as their own opinions align well with the general understanding. Nobody wants to be the outsider who is subject to scorn and ridicule for being so weird. Nobody wants to hear the outsider’s perspective. It’s too disruptive to the inner peace and calm that willful ignorance brings.
Do you have anything to document this government admission? I’ll look for it now but to date have not been able to corroborate this story when it first came up.
You’ll notice that I put “millions” under quotes, as a way to designate the claim of ethnic Russian oppression as specious, hyperbole typically used to promote a propaganda campaign. I rather doubt there was much, if any, official oppression happening in the Donbas region of Ukraine but repeating outrageous claims eventually makes those claims accepted truth for most people.
I agree. We are putting the wrong people in Gitmo.
It's always a good idea to check out RT. Not exactly 100% unbiased, but way better than the MSM in the USA. It does appear the MSM is dying, thank God.
Thank You- I believe most sane individuals want this created war to end. Every President inherits the conditions of the predecessor, good or bad. The destruction done in four short years from 2020-2024 is astounding. Thank God we got that party defeated., still there is so much to do to correct our decades-long gov. of graft. Numerous unelected agencies with open checkbooks where the final bill falls on the backs of taxpayers, and 300 million witness representatives walking away into a multi-million dollar life on the backs of insider trading, gov. contracts, and NGO's funded by tax-payers without our consent., the created agencies that are redundant political activists getting nothing done for the millions in which they reap from the same open-checkbook it is disgusting. I surely hope the gov. is forced to get on a transparent, open-book accounting program that cannot be shielded for special interests., and for which all money is accountable to the American people.
There is no fricking reason we should be at each other's throats. No reason to hate Russia as all they have been doing is trying to stop aggression by NATO and the war loving neocons.

Zalensky needs to pay back every taxpayer dollar we have given him. Or that billions of dollars needs to go to the families of those murdered by an unnecessary turmoil.
I didn't. Take it out of the pensions, benefits, and personal wealth of the congresscritters that voted for it!
Zelenskyy was given that money with the compliments of the war mad american governmment!
So the way to stop NATOs so called aggression is to invade your neighbor? And the aggression is to alow other countries to join NATO? What is Russia afraid of. Has Russias borders ever been threatend? According to trust Putin please go back in history to see all the signed agreements that has been violated.

Uh-huh. Okay.
Don’t forget Trump claimed the clot shots have saved 100 million lives.
If Trump has actually inactivated FDIC and FSLIC insurance coverage for bank and S&L deposits, his opponents would be all over it. Not buying it.
You are right. Trump didnt shut it down. Instead he is crippling it. See the article.

Thanks for challenging me. I'll walk back my previous statement.

Would appreciate any help you can provide.
Lou, I stand corrected. See my comment below in this string.
Where did they claim "millions"? Exaggeration doesn't bolster your case. Go to Gitmo along with Victoria Nuland!
SaHib,
You’ll notice that I put “millions” under quotes, as a way to designate the claim of ethnic Russian oppression as specious, hyperbole typically used to promote a propaganda campaign. I rather doubt there was much, if any, official oppression happening in the Donbas region of Ukraine but repeating outrageous claims eventually makes those claims accepted truth for most people.
I agree. We are putting the wrong people in Gitmo.
Thanks.....but no thanks!!
I'll wait an read RUSSIAN MEDIA! (aka NON LIARS, like 'the West' are)
It's always a good idea to check out RT. Not exactly 100% unbiased, but way better than the MSM in the USA. It does appear the MSM is dying, thank God.
There are many Russian news outlets; of course, in Russian. But my browser (Brave) has 'translate'.
I trust RT, ANY DAY, of the Wests BS! lol
Excellent work, Matt! And, yeah, why all the meaningless fighting. Whatever happened to working things out and teaching an understanding?
Campaign contributions, kickbacks, and board seats from the MIC happened. That's how evil and soulless most politicians are.
This feels like a bit dream like. Is it real? I hope so.
