That said, I don't really trust anything any media has to say about anything. It's all propagandized to pander to the type of information each respective nation wants to feed their people. Many are saying Russia is doing better than the media are reporting.
Indeed. Never let a good crisis go to waste, right?

Can you imagine what is happening in our own government right now, while we are watching Putin's invasion? Might turn out that Putin is the best opportunity the Biden Regime has had since the flea circus started here in the US over a year ago.

It is a distraction so that we don't look at his nutty Supreme Court pick who believes the Constitution is up for re-interpretation every year and has been overturned multiple times for her ridiculous conclusions and rulings.

Well we all know that whomever he picks will without a doubt march in lock step with whatever is on the Progressive agenda.



What is happening in Ukraine is terrible and the Dems are of course seizing the moment and using it as a distraction. Biden has an upcoming State of the Union speech and the sanctions will no doubt be a top topic because what else does he have to pound his chest over? I guess the threat of Covid is easing so that is kind of a win??



What else can Biden talk about but the sanctions that will get the Dems off their chairs to applaud? It is certainly not the economy, the border is not to be spoken of, inflation, rising crime and violence?

The only thing Biden can hang his hat on after a year in office are the sanctions but even with that he has flip flopped on by saying that Putin will not feel them for months whereas we are feeling the pain at the pump today.



It is ironic that the Lefty media distracted us from the good Trump was accomplishing but they use distractions to avoid talking about Biden's destruction.

Here is a new narrative that you aren't going to like but better get used to.

This from Bill Kristol's twitter

"Joe Biden is doing a good job...He demonstrated the invasion was a premeditated act of aggression. He worked with NATO and the EU to achieve a consensus...And Europe came to the conclusion it would do everything American foreign policy had wanted."

It means planes won't be able to fly over the polar region between North America and North Asia. I remember flying from Newark to Singpore, we crossed Mongolia.

You think Putin will get the Oscar for all these theatrics?

The Russians have been using precision weapons to minimise civilian casualties. From what I've read and heard, the Russians don't want to create deathly pandemonium for reasons involving their strategic goals and the deep rooted cultural and ethnic ties the two countries share with one another (it would be like the English and Welsh fighting each other).

What they do have available to them are tools such as thermobaric missiles that are extremely efficient at destroying fortifications and bunkers.

Putin is the aggressor. Saying NATO is the aggressor is bologna. Fact is now by Putin's actions Putin will be met with push back as he marched on Ukraine. Did Putin think NATO would not notice?
