The Narrative™ surrounding the war is riddled with fallacies, just as The Narrative™ was throughout the pandemic. The truth is the United States played a key role in instigating the conflict. And Putin had been warning of this invasion for years as one development after another left Russia, a country with a long history of being invaded, increasingly isolated by the West.

Despite what the media would have you believe, a lot of strategic thinkers cautioned that war was likely if the West continued down the path it’d been following since the fall of the Soviet Union, and they argue that the U.S. could have, and should have, prevented the breakout of war by offering to retract support for Ukraine to one day join NATO.

I too was skeptical of helping Ukraine because the leaders of NATO expansion, senators McStain and Lindsey Graham and Ron Johnson, are extremely irresponsible actors. That said, Putin is the dumbass that invaded a craphole country and made NATO more relevant than in 30 years. Bottom line —Putin is as big a moron as George W Bush and we are benefiting from this war as we are now the Saudi Arabia of LNG!

Putin invade because Kiev was waging an ethnic civil war in the eastern provinces of Ukraine which are mainly Russian speaking people.

Don't forget the ~46 germ warfare labs that the US installed in Ukraine.

That was not very smart.

No better than Russia putting nuclear bombs in Cuba.

Alas, Putin is no Kennedy.

So why did Trump send lethal aid to Ukraine??

Pangolin Chow Mein's avatar

Trump sent the lethal aid to Ukraine so they could kill ethnic Russians??

Gail's avatar

McShitstain and Graham have long been traitors. McConnell has proven to be even worse, if possible.

The War can only end with more war. Most wars end in a negotiated peace but not this war. This is the first war in history that can only end with more war.

Bennett tried to stop this war but concluded Putin couldn’t be negotiated with.

CATHERINE's avatar

Perhaps because the US would not admit to meddling in Ukraine internal affairs and installing germ warfare labs on Russia's doorstep.

And the sabotage to the Nordstream pipeline.

To name but three. ;)

Victoria Newland and CIA started the 2014 color revolution and installed the current Ukraine regime in power.

Gail's avatar

Actually, Bennett had forged a deal. It was Biden who pushed Zelenskyy not to accept it.

CATHERINE's avatar

Zelenskyy is a puppet.

And a fool for playing along.

Pangolin Chow Mein's avatar

Lol, nope. Bennett said Putin never wanted a diplomatic solution.

Why did the UN decline Chinas 12 Step ceasefire proposal?

Just Comment's avatar

Because UN really wants the war to continue?

R Nichols's avatar

I don't have to support Putin to distrust all the war mongers. Both sides of the political aisle want war for some reason. War will bring on the Reset by doing more damage so they can offer us "peace" in the form of their NWO.

Pangolin Chow Mein's avatar

Putin is the only one that wanted this war…and Xi tolerates it because it will end up benefiting China. Putin is a dumbass.

will someone tell Putin I've been waiting 3 effing years for him to send troops to liberate me from the Biden regime. Will he stop wussing out already?!?!

Excellent article. Thank you.

Hard not to root for Russia, can’t lie. And if you woulda said that I’d be sympathetic towards them 5 years ago I’d say you were insane

US has been attacking them with actual nazis for many years, egged on by our resident neo-nazi lobby, the Anti Bolshevic Bloc of Nations.

Josh Scandlen's avatar

And don’t forget - we imported plenty of Nazis to run NASA too.

PN Schwartz's avatar

there's another substack I check every so often: banderalobby dot substack dot com. Most people have no grasp of the amount of nazi rot in the pentagon, but in various cities. A good book on the topic is Loftus' 'America's nazi secret', which mostly details how the feds settled thousands of Belarus nazis in New Jersey. And then the Jews get the joy of having the nazis that run US policy promote nazi propaganda like Jew lobbies and Jew executives that run all of this policy...

I’m Jewish and the most virulent antisemites are leftist so-called Jews. They loathe themselves and their forebears for the audacity of having been Jewish and burdening them with it.

Soros, Bernie, Blinken,Yuval Harari, Fink,Kissinger,Gergen,Zelenskyy,Mondoweiss,Bloomberg,Avril Haines,Hotez,Bourla, Bancel , Zeke Emanuel, Ben Rhodes… fucking Nazis all. I learned during the Obama regime that blood doesn’t make one family.

Isn't that what it all boils down to? The law of Abraham vs everyone who doesn't want to follow it? I'm not talking about country fighting country, but neighbor fighting neighbor. 'My moral code is not yours' attitude. Unfortunately the moral code followed by most people is no longer the same moral code pushed by our government.

I can understand Russia wanting a buffer zone between them and NATO countries. Isn't that why Kennedy authorized the Bay of Pigs fiasco? Now Russia realizes just how impotent NATO has become. We're all screwed if and when Russia and China decide to pull a Germany/Japan/Italy attack. Throw in N Korea and it will be over before we realize it started.

@Josh Scandlen the paperclipped Germans. very dubious policy that led to the infiltration of so many of our democratic institutions.

Also good luck occupying a country of 40 million people that all hate you. The US military is far superior to Russia and we couldn’t occupy Iraq and Afghanistan even when a large percentage of the people liked us. Ukraine’s best strategy would be to let Russia win and then pick them off one by one during occupation. Peter Zeihan regurgitates the same crap about Russia moving on Poland next. These people live in clown world.

Once one understands that the "official narrative" is always a lie, everything becomes perfectly clear.
