… I would think that this is some anti-US spoof, based on listening to the most discredited cliches about the USA and the kind of people who run it. It had everything, frantic flagwaving, hilarious hyperbole, Biden trying to look like Dubya who, himself, was always squinting his yes à la John Wayne hoping to look like some Sheriff at OK Corral. It also had all the mantric repetition of mind-numbing concepts like “democracy” and “freedom”, etc.
The best part was when Biden raised his voice and sternly looked at the screen.
I am sure that Putin hid under his bed, to hug a pillow and sob in abject terror before The Great American Sheriff!
Here is the deal. It’s not just Biden who is brain dead. Its also the collective “Biden”: all they do is “traffic in hot air” as Lavrov aptly mentioned it today. What we heard tonight is not just the rambling of a senile, delusional, narcissist. What we heard was the voice of the US deep state: that is what they “think” and this is how they “think”.
It does not really matter anymore how/why such individuals as Clinton, Dubya, Obama, Trump or Biden came to power or what they promised. What matters is that these are the type of folks who run the USA (well, not them personally, of course, but the interests they represent). The same kind of non-entities run the UK, by the way, just in a even more pompous and ridiculous way.
The clueless fellow below, ladies and gentlemen, is the current Commander in Chief of the most powerful military in history, this is the Leader of the Free World and his so-called “values” are shared by millions worldwide. Or so he thinks (maybe).
Here is a scary thought: there is a good chance that the next clown in the White House might even be worse! There is zero chance that anybody who could fix this awful mess will be “elected”. If the past is the best indicator for the future, then we must realize that there is only one way this will ever end: in ridicule, violence and infamy.
That also fully applies to Ze and his “European Banderastan”.
Does anybody still doubt the outcome of this abject slo-mo train wreck?
Yes?
Then listen to him for yourself and reach your own conclusions.

“Victory for Democracy”
So, you see, as predicted, the US “succeeded” at stopping Putin’s invasion of Ukraine by calling Russia’s game at every step of the way. Biden was “successful” by tricking Putin, who was pushing for war, by “threatening peace,” while dumping tons of military hardware in Ukraine. Biden correctly “guessed” Putin wanted to continue the diplomatic process, and he’s “buying time” for a new encompassing security agreement.
Russia’s evil intentions were stopped in their tracks. Biden and democracy are “the winners.” Putin “blinked.”
Live and learn.

Reporter explains how Biden got Putin to blink after Russian forces amassed near Ukraine
“The world went to sleep Tuesday night fearing that war could break out overnight. Ukraine asked NATO for additional help and locals began to prepare for the worst.
Illia Ponomarenko, Defense reporter with The Kyiv Independent, tweeted that the Ukraine military was on full combat alert.
The whole of Ukraine’s armed forces is on full combat alert tonight.\nIf the worst is to happen (even though I still don’t think it will), this is going to be our finest hour. \nGoodnight, Ukraine & the world.

But after a global response that Russian President Vladimir Putin was about to start another war, there have been reports that Putin withdrew military soldiers, claiming that there was never any intention to start a war and that they were just doing military training exercises.
President Joe Biden said that U.S. intelligence hasn’t confirmed the withdrawal, and the United States and NATO are still standing with Ukraine in the event Russia decides to move against the country. There is also a concern that Russia could launch a cyberattack that could bring down the power in the country or others.
Speaking to CNN on Wednesday, Julia Ioffe, of Puck News, characterized the past two months of Putin aggression as a success for President Joe Biden.
“Biden’s strategy is starting to look like a pretty good one,” she wrote. “What’s better than tricking the guy who threatened war into threatening peace? I do wonder, does Biden get credit if this new approach succeeds?” she asked in her piece.
CNN host John Berman agreed with the characterization, saying that each day has been about diplomacy from the administration while Putin advances and Russian state media reports the buildup of troops along the Ukraine border.
“I mean, the Biden White House doesn’t have that many options,” Ioffe explained. “It is actually a pretty weak hand that they’re playing pretty deftly. They said no American troops are going to be involved. So, that’s off the table. Sanctions are on the table, but at this point, Putin just sees them as the cost of doing business. As I wrote, he sees it more as overhead than a deterrent. And so what the Biden administration is left with is, you know, basically informational warfare. And unmasking Russian plans before the Russians can implement them and taking away the element of surprise, and I think it is working pretty well.”
She noted that such action bought time for diplomatic processes to work, which she said was what Moscow wanted anyway, at least it’s what they say that they want.
“I think they kind of do want the diplomatic process,” Ioffe continued. “They think, you know, it is interesting when you hear the establishment in Washington talk about, ‘Oh, tensions have never been higher since the Cold War as if that’s a bad thing.’ It is a good thing. It is over. In Russia, they see the cold war as a good thing, as a place we should return to because Russia was one of two superpowers, counterbalancing the U.S., throwing sand in its gears, having to be dealt with, having to be consulted with, having to be asked for permission. So, they’re trying to get back to a place of the Cold War in Europe where the two main guarantors of security or insecurity are not just the U.S. and NATO, but also Russia. And that requires some diplomatic maneuvering and a new security agreement in Europe, which is what Russia says it wants and this is buying time for, as you said no war, but also diplomacy.”

Lone Wolf
There is no Joe Biden. What you seen on the screen is just an updated and renamed version of Max Headroom.
A screen version of Siri. People assume that because it talks and responds to question, it’s actually intelligent. It isn’t. It’s just a bunch of code with more bugs than an invasion of locusts.
As a longtime reader of science fiction, I sometimes ask the question if humanity will notice when AI’s take control? And I wonder if I am being optimistic in assuming that I am thinking of a future event? How would people really know? They just walk around all day with their noses above their screens, and if the last few years teach us anything its that most of them appear to be extremely gullible.
Came across a fascinating quote yesterday,
“Ray Bradbury: “People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it.””
Did anyone see the news that there are now actual book burnings in America? If you had told me that when I was young, I would never have believed you. I wonder if they burned “Fahrenheit 451”?
AIs have been in substantial control of most of the West for decades.
They are called “corporations”, and they include political parties. Although they employ human beings, they have no human emotions or morality; and their goals are utterly inhuman.
Funny, really, to think that we have been living with Terminators for so long and never noticed just because they aren’t made of clanking metal and don’t have burning red eyes.
Even though Trump didn’t have a clue what he was doing (to the deep states relief) he was a loose cannon for them, and had a habit of feeding fascist narrative damaging red meat to the hoi polloi. Trump also needed to be carefully manipulated by his handlers which was inefficient. So they removed Trump and did so by planting the fully obedient Biden by what very many Americans believe to be fraudelent means. Neither this mouthpiece for the real decision makers nor the real decion makers themselves are trustworthy. What Biden is reading (teleprompter) to Russia on the deep states behalf is that we will absolutely keep NATO in place, and use the same methods to recruit new members that were used to recruit me, but we will waffle around in diplomacyville while doing our underhanded stuff, and bombard you with platitudes about freedom and democracy while continuing to set up a framework for the opposite of that. This is the reality that Russia and her multipolar allies will have to deal with, there can be no diplomatic solutions without good will, and there is no good will with the City of London fascist banksters who are the ones calling the shots on the western side. Bidens speech was them trying to palliate Russia while leaving their own mechanisms to destroy Russian sovereignty in place. Russia will have stand her ground and respond to this threat in additional ways to overt military deterrence, counter-propaganda, and diplomacy. The time to go to the ground and deal with the real enemy might be approaching.
Good thing he has teleprompters, speech writers, handlers, etc. Can that old fool even
string alphabet blocks together in the proper order?
Even a minute of this is painful. Russia, Germany, all the other NATO and EU stooges have NO independence, sovereignty or territorial integrity, properties they bestow on country 404 by using the diplomacy of weapons pouring in and promise of support as they withdraw their citizens, terrified of an attack.
Well..nothing new here. We are still on the other side of the mirror, like Alice in Wonderland and every word means the opposite: war means peace, attack means defense, democracy means olocracy, and so forth and so on. And this is just an extension of Obamas crazyness. Meanwhile I find this all so boring. Almost as boring as the pandemic. I need a break from all this nonsense. Were they not armed to their theeth, we would not need listen to them. Ever!
Hugs to Andrei and this great team!
If everyone stopped listening to them, they would become powerless.
Think about it.
I am apolitical. Stop listening to all of them. Go listen to a tree instead. You’ll hear fewer lies.
And wouldn’t Joe just look foolish talking to an empty room with nobody at all paying the slightest attention to him.
The movement of th US ambassy and spy headquarters to Lvov is most certainly, because they are aware, that too many Ukrainians in Kiev are already active or ready to give brotherly Russia all info on US actions and movements. Quite probably US agencies have found, that no building in Kiev cannot be made safe against russian/ukr. intelligence …
There for sure are less (secretly or not) russophile Ukrainians in Lvov, thus they feel safe, having headquarters there.
The movement now might be, to use the current “crisis” as a pretext for it…
So clearly they are going for Option 1.. unless some kind of false flag op takes place later today or later this week?
Doesn’t make sense, though. Unless the Ukrainian army goes on the offensive against Donbass, it looks like this was all a huge nothing burger designed by Biden to pretend he “successfully stood up to Putin” and got him to back down.
Damn, the Neocons are really dropping the ball these days.
Still not out of the woods yet, though..
Give him a break, meaning: we have to understand weakness. In the case they – the American government – have decided to do no false-flag operation, the only option they have is to speak tough, in order to at least tentatively convince themselves in their own strength.
Once again, as a reluctant subject of the Empire, I feel compelled to offer apologies to, and entreat the pardon of Russia (and the rest of the world) for the moronic actions of my ruling Lords of Capital.
The NATO hyenas are escalating their threats (who didn’t figure that). Now planning on creating so-called ” battlegroups” in Eastern Europe,or,as I’d call it, creeping Barbarossa forward to be ready to attack. I would suggest for Russia to reestablish more than one “Guards Division” as a show of commitment to respond if needed.And that might knocks some sense into some NATO heads.
As well as talking “candidly” with the heads of the bordering NATO countries about the fate of their countries (and their personal fate) if they continue their support of aggression against Russia.But more than anything else,for goodness sake,speed up the production of the new weapons.So that there is a large supply of them all on hand. Having developed them is wonderful and all.But if they aren’t numerous, and readily supplied to the military,then there is a serious problem.
Another thought might be to use a few of those new missiles that could carry nukes (though without them) to prove a point. In Russian or international waters station several target ships marked (enemy country,no names just that) and totally destroy those targets.As the saying goes,a picture is worth a thousand words.
As we’ve been told,the main plan is to de-dollarize causing the US to not be able to finance the continued aggression. If that is the plan,how about kicking up the speed there. Buying more US debt as Russia announced a week or so ago,is going backwards in that plan. De-dollarization means cutting out the use of the dollar,not helping it. How about stopping the use of the dollar in all Russia’s non-US trade.And forbidding the holding of dollar accounts inside Russia itself. That would actually show there is seriousness to that plan.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. A twelve year old wearing his daddy’s suit and shoes. Watching Obama or Reagan was like watching Laurence Olivier play Hamlet. Biden is a bad high school play. On a serious note, the Russians are on a roll: Belarus, Kazakstan, and now Ukraine. Great to see after being played like a fiddle and losing consistently since 5 March,1953. The US rolled up the USSR, Yugoslavia, and Eastern Europe, not to mention the 3rd World–like an accomplished used car salesman scamming a credulous old woman. Very happy to see this outcome, but damn, it took them long enough to figure things out.
Yep, Syria is where ‘things’ might get messy…

While there have been a number of comments concerning the future status of the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Luhansk People’s Republic, there have been few to none concerning the future status of Galicia. The U.S. just shifted their Ukraine embassy staff and Ukraine operations centre to Lvov, the capital of that region. Could this signal the further dismemberment of Ukraine, a dismemberment that began with the Maiden coup followed by the reabsorption of Crimea into the Russian Federation?
If Galicia declares itself an independent nation and is recognised as such, that would end the Minsk initiative and free the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Luhansk People’s Republic to do the same.
It would also serve to fulfil one of Russia’s demands in her ultimatum which was to get the West off Russia’s doorstep.
Don’t shortchange Biden, Andrei.
Give him credit. He didn’t just save Ukraine.
He saved Alaska from Russian invasion.
He saved Rhode Island from Russian invasion.
Heck, he even saved New Zealand from Russian invasion.
I hope his polling numbers reflect this great American showdown.
Lol, Sloppy Joe uttered, after reading the teleprompter, ‘Article 5 is sacrosanct’ Aka Holy. LMAO
“Nations have a right to sovereignty…”
