QUESTION: It appears that Russia has shifted its focus claiming it may need to protect Russian citizens in Eastern Ukraine. You seem to have more insight than what I read elsewhere. Biden is now scrambling with Borris here in London on a way to appease Russia. Do you think this will succeed?

ANSWER: This is the oldest excuse in the book which every government has used from the USA to Hilter’s invasions to protect Germans living in Czechoslovakia was a similar excuse. In the case of the Sudetenland, the Czechoslovak borderland, it was annexed in 1938 because the German local majority had the right to self-determination. Even in 1989, In December 1989, the United States invaded Panama Canal Zone to protect the Americans there. What Putin has declared is nothing new. Most major powers have acted on the very same grounds. However, by Putin saying this is precisely what I have been saying. He could just take the East and not bomb Kyiv. That would back that excuse to protect the Russians in East Ukraine.
Putin has already won. The West tried to call his bluff and rejected everything he asked for. The problem with this poker game is that Putin holds all the cards and he is a master chess player. Our model picked up this week as capital flows have been in a state of panic. But Putin has previously sold all US debt holdings and we did not witness a massive wholesale liquidation of US debt by China. Our model has not shown a sustained crisis and it appears that we do have a situation where the West is crumbling.
Reliable sources report that Putin could take Kyiv in less than one week if he wanted. He could be in Paris in a few weeks. But that does not appear in our models at this time. It does show that Putin is winning the war without firing a shot. Ukraine will not be allowed into NATO. Will the West agree to secretly pull back to 1997 levels? The West has no power and the leaders of the West are incapable of winning a game of checkers, no less chess.
Even in Canada, the Premier Doug Ford of Ontario has announced that the Truckers have won. He will lift all capacity restraints for indoor meetings and proof of COVID-19 vaccination requirements by March 1st. We are saddled with the most incompetent group of world leaders I believe in recorded modern history. This leaves Putin as the smartest by far. All he needs to do is wait and watch how the West is pandering because they cannot even mount any defense whatsoever.

There it is. Whoopsie, Pelosi just gave the game away.
We have been looking for this exact political construct and today we got it. Nancy Pelosi appears on ABC This Week with George Stephanopoulos to discuss current events. This was all planned in advance. This is guaranteed to be a political pantomime.
The first topic is the “Russia-Ukraine crisis,” with Stephanopoulos asking Pelosi directly if she believes Russian President Vladimir Putin is about to invade Ukraine. Nancy Pelosi’s response [Transcript Here] tells us all we need to hear:
PELOSI: “Well, I think we have to be prepared for it. And that is what the president is — yes, I do believe that he is prepared for an invasion. I also understand why the President of Ukraine wants to keep people calm and that he wants his economy not to suffer. But, on the other hand, if we were not threatening the sanctions and the rest, it would guarantee that Putin would invade. Let’s hope that diplomacy works.
It’s about diplomacy deterrence. Diplomacy deterrence. And the president’s made it very clear. There’s a big price to pay for Russia to go there. So, if Russia doesn’t invade, it’s not that he never intended to. It’s just that the sanctions worked.” … “I’m very proud of the work that the president has done.” (read more)
Can you see the domestic political scenario that has been created out of thin air?
Democrats need a win on something; anything, to shift the narrative and change the reality of their failure into an illusion of success.
First, accuse Vladimir Putin of doing something he never intends to do, a fabricated scenario. Second, tell the world you will strongly respond to the fabricated scenario. Third, tell the world the exact date when the fabricated scenario is supposed to happen. Then, when the fabricated scenario never happens, it is because you are so brilliant and strong to have outmaneuvered and cowed the Russians.
Declare the absence of the Ukraine invasion event as the result of your brilliance and announce a foreign policy victory. That, my friends, is exactly what has taken place.
Yes, this is exactly how pathetic they are.
The fact they made this “Ukraine crisis” out of thin air, is what reconciles this:

Always remember, CNN is the official “fake news” narrative engineering effort of the U.S. State Department. The Washington Post pushes the Intelligence Community effort (CIA, etc.), and the New York Times push the FBI/DOJ (state police) effort.
Today in an effort to use Ukraine as a proxy state for war against Russia, the State Dept and CIA are claiming the Russians are amassing massive stockpiles of blood at the Ukraine border as they prepare for a protracted war. In response the Ukraine government tells the Biden crew to knock it off with the nonsense. This puts CNN journalists in Ukraine telling CNN journalists in the U.S. to stop telling ‘fake news’.
(CNN) – The US has seen indications that Russia has positioned supplies of blood near Ukraine’s borders, two senior US defense officials told CNN Saturday, as part of its accumulation of medical supplies, troops and military equipment in the area that US officials have said could signal plans for an invasion.
Reuters was first to report Russia’s movement of blood supplies to the border with Ukraine, which would be necessary to treat casualties in the event of a conflict. The development has added to US concerns that Russia has the capabilities in place to launch an attack on very short notice. One of the officials who spoke with CNN cautioned that the presence of Russian blood supplies near the Ukrainian border is not an absolute indicator of an invasion. Instead, it is one element among many the US is monitoring as the build-up of Russian forces steadily proceeds. (read more)
As we noted yesterday, the entirety of the corrupt and manipulative Joe Biden administration, the U.S. State Department, the CIA, the Pentagon and the U.S. Congress are all saying, “Nice country you got there, it’d be a shame if something happened to it“, while simultaneously poking the Russian bear to attack. Biden and the deepest state want them their proxy war, and they will not be denied.
Given the nature of how corrupt the U.S. administration is on a globalist scale; and considering that Biden Inc, which is really the Hillary Clinton foreign policy establishment, would give Zelensky the full Gaddafi treatment if it helped them gain wealth, power and influence; it really would be in Ukraine’s best interest for Zelensky to open a dialogue with Vladimir Putin.
Right now, on a geopolitical scale, Volodymyr Zelensky is more akin to Kim Jong-un in North Korea trying NOT TO be forced into a relationship with China. Ukraine is faced with the United States controlling them or embracing a closer relationship with Russia who would want to control them. It’s a hot mess of geopolitical manipulation on a mafioso scale.
If Zelensky does not allow himself to be a proxy for the United States in Europe, the people who control U.S. policy will create a war with Russia to get rid of him. Biden is really a stammering stupid doofus and tool of the deep state, who isn’t strong enough to battle his own corrupt policy team; and Biden Inc, which includes his entire family, is paid by the DC manipulators to shut-up and just read.
Zelensky has to pretend like Biden represents the U.S. interests, while knowing Biden doesn’t have any control over U.S. policy.
The war mongering crew deep in the U.S. government are in control. The Fourth Branch of the U.S. government and the national security apparatus are in full operational control over the dynamic. Zelensky is stuck between Russia and the U.S. Deep State. Quite frankly, he’d be better off embracing Vladimir Putin and coming to terms.
However, the problem is Zelensky doesn’t want to end up being Ukraine to Russia like North Korea is to China.
If Zelensky tells Biden to go spit, I mean really calls this baby ugly as it needs to be called, then the U.S. system (writ large) will withdraw any support or assistance for Ukraine, and Russia will absorb his country quickly. That’s the unfortunate dynamic.
Zelensky wants to stop being a hostage to the West by joining NATO. However, Russia will not allow a formal NATO relationship.
It’s a mess.

The dynamic between the Joe Biden administration and the government of Ukraine is very interesting and thoroughly corrupt. President Volodymyr Zelensky is trying to avoid being the 2022 version of Libyan President Muammar Gadaffi, circa 2011.
Meanwhile, the entirety of the corrupt and manipulative Joe Biden administration, the U.S. State Department, the CIA, the Pentagon and the U.S. Congress are all saying, “Nice country you got there, it’d be a shame if something happened to it“, while simultaneously poking the Russian bear to attack. Biden and the deepest state want them their proxy war, and they will not be denied.
Following a phone call last night where Zelensky told Biden to stop telling everyone the Russians were going to attack, a conversation the Biden administration desperately is trying to hide from the American people, Zelensky smartly calls a media press conference so the global media can see him telling Biden, in essence, to ‘chill the hell out’.
Full credit to Euronews who is being an honest broker about the dynamics at play. This is a great

It’s a mess.
My advice to President Zelensky would be to ask Hungary or Poland to host discussions between himself and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
It appears that the powers that be, have been wanting Russia to invade Ukraine and are probably going to church every day to light candles and pray for war. They desperately need a war to move on from COVID and the standard belief is that Biden needs to get his polls up. Pelosi has postponed her retirement because Biden is such a disaster that the Democrats fear they need to maintain some familiar voice and the is Pelosi and Schumer.
What they are NOT counting on is a coordinated effort between Russia and China. Next week starts the volatility. So be mindful that these people now need a war for the resistance against COVID has been far greater than they anticipated.
The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) is employed by over 11,000 institutions across 200 countries and serves as the messaging domain for financial institutions to exchange funds. This crucial tool was implemented to replace the Teleprinter Exchange, known as Telex, back in 1973 as the Telex system became technologically obsolete. SWIFT has also become a leverage tool for sanctions as the United Nations and member states may limit access to the network to enforce international law.
It happened to Iran from 2012 to 2016 under the Obama Administration due to Iran’s nuclear program with measures reimplemented down the line. The idea was to cut off Iran’s banking system to outside funds, leading to coercion by economic pressure. Abdolnaser Hemmati who was at the head of Iran’s central bank said, “We were expecting these sanctions, so we had plans in place for them and beyond … considering the possibility of banks being disconnected from SWIFT we have considered alternatives to replace it.” Former US Treasury Steven Mnuchin threatened to sanction SWIFT itself if they did not comply. “SWIFT is no different than any other entity. We have advised SWIFT that it must disconnect any Iranian financial institutions that we designate as soon as technologically feasible to avoid sanctions exposure,” Mnuchin threatened.
Iran was already isolated from most global financial networks at the time, but now the idea of cutting off Russia is being touted in Washington. Kurt Volker, former United States Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations, deemed removing Russia from the SWIFT system as the “nuclear option.” He says this with good reason. The measure was considered when Russia annexed Crimea, but Russia said they would not simply comply. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev assured the public that removing Russia from the SWIFT system “would in fact be a declaration of war.”
Removing Russia from SWIFT would hurt its trading partners. First, it will spook the markets and the uncertainty will lead to volatility. International companies conducting business with Russia would be forced to halt many transactions. Investors may rush out of the ruble, disrupting international capital flows. The EU heavily relies on Russian energy and retaliatory measures could spell disaster.
Russia has quietly been developing its own version of SWIFT since 2014 called the System for Transfer of Financial Messages, which now delivers around 20% of domestic transfers. However, the Kremlin will likely not accept removal from the SWIFT system as Iran did and this measure could very well be considered a declaration of war.

There is really onlyone question that matters at the heart of the U.S. position toward Ukraine and NATO. It was asked halfway through the press conference with Jennifer Psaki today.
“Considering that NATO allies have not held up their own agreement to spend 2 percent of their own GDP on their military preparedness … if Europeans are not willing to expend their own blood and treasure on their own self-defense why should Americans be expected to do so?”
Spoiler Alert… The White House could not answer the question. Jen Psaki hemmed, hawed, and attempted to use verbal linguistics to assemble previously over-used soundbites, but she could not -and did not- answer that question. WATCH:
‘Nuf said.
The honest answer would be… We, in the Biden and Obama administration, are doing all this stuff in Ukraine, for Ukraine and under the auspices of protecting Ukraine, because a whole bunch of us from both political parties in/around the DC beltway – along with our families – receive massive amounts of personal financial wealth from the DC money laundering operation of foreign aid money in/around Ukraine.
That’s the real answer, and the reason Psaki cannot reconcile the easiest question publicly. The NATO members also know that American politicians enrich themselves and their families through the laundry of foreign aid to their own bank accounts.

For those who think the conflict is not being orchestrated by the Obama-Biden administration, consider this. European countries and our NATO allies are not as worried about Russia entering Ukraine.
The people closest to the situation including France and Germany, are not asking for the U.S. to get involved. Indeed, you can make the argument based on their public statements, that European NATO countries are not that concerned. Even Chuck Todd (NBC) sees this.
It is the Obama-Biden foreign policy team that is creating anxiety over the potential for Russia to enter Ukraine, not our NATO allies. If we end up in a conflict in Ukraine, it will be because the professional political class in Washington DC want us to be in a conflict in Ukraine, not the American people.
Russian President Vladimir Putin can easily see this dynamic.
(Via ABC) – The State Department ordered diplomats’ families Sunday afternoon to depart the U.S. embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine, amid heightened fears of a Russian attack on the country. The embassy has also authorized non-emergency employees to depart, according to an internal cable obtained by ABC News.
In an updated travel advisory issued later Sunday, the State Department confirmed the drawdown and urged U.S. citizens in Ukraine to consider departing the country now using commercial flights.
[…] “These are prudent precautions that in no way undermine our support for, our commitment to Ukraine,” a senior State Department official said Sunday. The department made the decision now “based on this military buildup, based on how we see these developments,” they added, calling it the “right moment.” (read more)
The professional political class in Washington DC, both wings of the UniParty with personal financial relationships with Ukraine, seem to want conflict with Russia.
Nothing personifies the absurd DC perspective and disconnect more than a group of bipartisan politicians concerned about the borders of Ukraine and ignoring the border crisis in our own country.
An air cargo jet operating under US Transportation Command took off from Kyiv, Ukraine after delivering 200,000 pounds of Ammunition. It then violated the air space of Belarus, violated Russian Air Space, and “disappeared” from flight tracking as it entered Kazakhstan. At this time we are not certain that the plane was shot down. Nevertheless, this warns of increasing tensions. Once more, Biden threatened sanctions but did not commit US troops to defend Ukraine or NATO troops.
Russia sent two nuclear-capable strategic bombers on a training mission over Belarus. But we have also been informed that it may have placed some on standby in Syria. Additionally, Putin realizes that the time has never been better to test the United States because of a totally incompetent president and the VP has zero international experience. Russia on Thursday raised the stakes dramatically due to the belligerent attitude of the West over Ukraine and refusing to listen to the demands of Russia., A top Russian diplomat has outright warned that Russia will not rule out a Russian military deployment to Cuba and Venezuela if tensions with the United States continue to escalate.
Biden and his Build Back Better agenda promoted by Schwab, Gates, and Soros, has placed the entire world at risk of destabilization. Never before in the history of any civilization has there EVER been a deliberate effort to undermine the economy to recreate it into some green wonderland. Rome fell because of internal corruption and conflicts. But nobody deliberately tried to undermine the economy. That simply invited the barbarian invasions.
History will remember these three men for their actions and when the dust settles, they might be blamed for creating the collapse of the West.
