    1. I am able to produce 80 dollars hourly to do some small tasks on the computer. I’ve never realized like it could even possible however one of my top pal has earned $27,000 within six weeks simply working this best project and also she has satisfied me to avail.

      Here’s what I do… http://workpay1.blogspot.com/

  1. He invaded because he has enough leverage over Europe and the US to be able to do so, so he did. I’m sure he secured his money bag before hand so the sanctions would be meaningless. When you have the gas, you have the power.

    The left’s insane energy policies are the reason this happened. Putin knows to strike when the iron is hot, Trump kept it nice and cool while he was in office.

    1. The system is bankrupt and is in collapse and away from the United States dollars which is in just about every country in the world. Not negotiable for world trade.
      Now think of everywhere it is an who is paid in them is massive.
      This includes stocks, bonds, pensions, institutions, insurance, EVERYWHERE including trading in Canada.
      The United States wants War as a distraction to lockdown it’s people by their servant politicians.
      Banks will be closed and more likely not to reopen.
      We’ll need to create new Banks it’s that bad.

    2. “He invaded because he has enough leverage over Europe and the US to be able to do so , so he did.”

      Whereas before 2014 he did not because he had no need. I wonder what happened in 2014?

      For that matter, I wonder what happened in 1991 to prevent a civil war, at which time the Soviet Union would have been the legitimate government of Ukraine.

      1. ‘the Soviet Union would have been the legitimate government of Ukraine’

        In reality the Sovs were the illegitimate government over Ukraine. Soviet and legitimate is an oxymoron.

        1. In which case the territories of the Crimean Khanate would never have been inside Ukrainian borders in the first place (and was in the hands of the Turks before Russia, it has never been “Ukrainian”), since that was an internal matter of the Soviet Union, so there would be no Russian war over them now.

          I am not supporting Russia and certainly not Putin. I’m analyzing the strategies of the Great Game. Afghanistan and Crimea have been the center of that board for centuries before the existence of the Soviet Union. If you don’t know about the British/French/Turk alliance to invade Russia and take Crimea from it, you don’t know about what’s going on now.

          We whooped ’em at Alma, and then Inkerman,
          But the Russians they foiled us at the Redan.
          While scaling the ramparts meself lost an eye,
          And a great Russian Bullet walked away with me thigh.

          That was the story me grandfather told,
          As he sat ’round the fire, all withered and old.
          Remember he said, that the Irish fight well,
          But the Russian artillery’s hotter then hell.

  2. What happens in Ukraine and Russia is not Canada’s business. We have our own despot in the name of Justin Castro Trudeau. We need to mind our own biz … let the all-powerful, all-wise EU deal with those issues that are right on their doorstep, but thousands of miles from us.

    Canada and it’s banking system has been severely compromised and our reputation as a safe secure free democracy is now a joke. Thanks to the idiotic measures act.

    Vast amounts of capital, both, parked and invested is fleeing and won’t come back until there is a more stable adult leadership in the country.

    Trudeau has stupided us into a bad situation … he has to go now.

    1. “What happens in Ukraine and Russia is not Canada’s business.”

      It was the British Empire’s business, which it handed off to NATO.
      Canada was the British Empire’s business, which it handed off to NATO.

      Canada is thus complicit in the 2014 “intelligence” services attack on Ukraine, to be used as a pawn against Russia.
      What is going on now is part of Putin’s counter attack, i.e., he is attacking the government of Trudeau as much as that of Ukraine.
      “Trudeau has stupided us into a bad situation … he has to go now.”

      There ya go!

    2. J West, Well said. Although I have compassion for any human suffering, and war zones are terrible things to be in, you are right, we have our own major problems, and I’ve been expecting the US/Can dollar collapse for about four years, but they kept applying bigger and bigger band aids, until now our economies are wrapped up like Egyptian Mummies. It’s not an IF, it’s a WHEN! Those who are not prepared now, will suffer just as much as those in war zones, and that suffering will be right here on our collective doorsteps. As to the turd, I’m hoping his narcissistic self absorbed bubble will pop loudly, and pop soon. His emergency declaration backfired, and that could be the prick that bursts the turds bubble. Fingers crossed. Of course, this might be part of the WEF plan anyway, as their little perogy thighed twitching bitch, is waiting right behind the Turd, to step up when he flounders. We are screwed either way!

    3. Nonsense, it is not an either-or scenario, we’re capable of holding multiple thoughts in our heads. But Kremlin loves useful idiots like you.

    4. Potato imposes Martial Law.
      => resident Shortbus contingent: But Conservatives.

      Pootin invades Ukraine.
      => resident Shortbus contingent: But Potato.

  3. Sorry, I don’t have the patience to listen to a KGB thug for 55 minutes. There’s no explanation/excuse for such a war, 21st century, Europe. Regardless of what he’s babbling about, all neighbors know very well that Russia still has a Mongol/tribal attitude. Animals.

      1. Yet your otherwise empty chest puffs up with pride when you talk about the Canadians (which we all know were the British, not Canadians) invaded the United States and burned the White House. FOAD you pathetic little Globohomo.

        1. Yeah. Come say that to my face, tough guy. Guarantee you wouldn’t. I’m going off for a run, now. How fast is your 10K? Deadlift best? Yeah, I thought so. Smell you later.

    1. Ya know, calling Russians animals is no different than Trudeau calling unvaxxed all sorts of ugly names. Congrats, fuck face, you’re at the same loser level than Trudeau. Now go put on your brown SA uniform and whack off to pics of the ugly Ukro-nazi.

      1. No no no, it is very different. Because you see, calling Siberian Mongols animals is an insult … to animals. Thank you for calling, take your pearl clutching and moral relativism somewhere else.

    2. You should give it a go. Were Ukraine and NATO and America and Canada lily white I would agree with you but I have known and talked to a number of Ukrainian people working their way across Canada as they go to university and they all tell the same story. Ukraine is utterly corrupt and the US is raping the place.

      1. Of what? Wheat? Natty gas?

        We’re fully loaded. We flair off more gas than Europe burns.
        We grow so much we burn it in our cars.

    3. I don’t have the patience to listen to a KGB thug for 55 minutes Then you want understand what is going on will you?

      1. One cannot get a less accurate source of information than Pootin. Scratch that, if you want to learn what is going on, assume opposite to everything this KGB thug is saying. That is one feature him and Potato have in common.

    4. If you’re unwilling to educate yourself on the beliefs and motivations of both sides, your opinion is ill informed.

      1. There is a difference between educating yourself and inhaling another dose of age old Siberian Mongol propaganda. Educate yourself on Maskirovka.

      1. @CanSco – “Summary of what Putin took 55 min to say:”

        Here’s a slightly more accurate summary:

        – Putin talked about the history between Russia and Ukraine (not sure about its full accuracy) Blamed the fractured nations on the Soviets particularity the elitist nationalist Bolsheviks.
        – He then spent a good portion explaining the “nationalists Neo-Nazi’s” partaking in the coup of 2014 with aid from the west.
        – Then went into the “hyper corruption” ever since the 2014 overthrow and the theft of Ukrainian wealth into the hands of elitist oligarchs and how it was worse than before the coup with a variety of mostly US anti-corruption/ anti-trust oversight Agencies. (He noted that corruption was bad everywhere including Russia, but that the Ukraine was a level of its own).
        – He spoke to the Ukrainian population decline and poor economic & opportunity conditions since 2014.
        – Spoke about the marginalization of Russian speaking Ukrainians in the Donbas.
        – Went into western encroachment into Ukrainian politics, economic, and infrastructure building via consultants and foreign agents. Infrastructure Included wide strip airports that were being constructed to facilitate military operations in strategically compromising areas to Russian sovereignty.
        – Spoke about Ukraine looking for nuclear re-armament, and having soviet knowledge and western aid to easily accomplish it.
        – He then went into describing immediate post soviet agreements and the west breaking those agreements as NATO gradually moved East. Also the annexation of Crimea and the strategic importance of the Black Sea, along with some historical nostalgia.
        – He again spoke about the marginalization of Russian speaking Ukrainians in the Donbas.
        – Mentioned three conditions to be met for the west and Ukrainian gov’t.
        1. Prevent NATO Expansion East
        2. Refusal of Ukraine to deploy “strike weapons” near Russia’s border.
        3. For NATO to limit its European military capability back to the original 1997 agreement.
        – Accuses the west of marginalizing and demonizing Russia and using blackmail through sanctions.
        – Promises Retaliation for any attacks against Russia.
        – Addresses Kiev wants a return to the Minsk agreement to resolve the conflict, but insists that Kiev refuses and instead is increasing its hostilities to the 4 million Russian speakers in the Donbas region.
        – Accuses the west as self appointed referees agitating the situation.
        – Finally reiterates the corrupt Ukrainian government, product of the 2014 is responsible for all the hostilities.

        In a nutshell, watching the video personally fills in the blanks.

    5. “Sorry, I don’t have the patience to listen to a KGB thug for 55 minutes.”

      This so reminds me of a neighbor saying how they would never listen to Trump because “why would they want to listen to a moronic thug like that” or some-such. Obviously (in her eyes) nobody should listen to moronic babble from a thug like him – just an animal stirring up tribal attitudes.

      Strange isn’t it, otherwise sensible folks who can come to such sure judgement without the trouble of listening. And often so dismissive of suggestion that it might be useful to listen first and then judge. Strange, but sadly usual (insert historical analogy here)…

      So, please do give us the benefit of your judgement – but let’s have it based on some listening first 🙂

      1. Oh, you’re so open minded gareth, so I take it you have also listened to CBC to get a more balanced view on Freedom Convoy, right?

  4. I didn’t pick a side in this mess. On the one hand I’d be okay with Putin poking western governments in the eye and on the other hand I usually side with the underdog and know quite a few Ukrainians, most of them are good people. Also I’m too old to get excited about what goes on on the other side of the planet. I’m at the FTW stage of life.

  5. O’Bidet’s admin bated Poohtine , O’Bidet told Uke president he could join NATO, and then the O’Bidet’s WH sent a diplomatic team to China, and told Xi the Ukraine was joining NATO. Xi told poohtine this, and war was one. This war is a deep stated deflection to take attention from America’s gas problems, and inflation will be blamed on the war

    1. NME666, Well….Inflation was rapidly rising long before this ‘war’, so blaming inflation on the war is ass backwards, but I guess the stupids will believe it. Leftism truly is a disease, and the whole planet is infected!

  6. And were is twat, the foreskin, to tell us how great poohtine is for needlessly killing civilians?

    1. Here at least, the majority of people get their Internet connectivity through either fiber optics or wire cabling, both of which go through ‘bricks and mortar’ distribution centers. All of those are vulnerable to attack. With Starlink, it’s your own hardware and the satellite.

  7. From Al-Jazeera…

    Ukraine’s president says Kyiv has agreed to send a delegation for talks with Russian officials on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border.

    “We have agreed that the Ukrainian delegation will meet with Russian [officials] without prior conditions on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border, in the area of the Pripyat river,” Zelenskyy said in a statement.

    He did not give a precise time for the meeting, but said Lukashenko, a Putin ally, “has taken responsibility for ensuring that all planes, helicopters and missiles stationed on Belarusian territory remain on the ground during the Ukrainian delegation’s travel, talks and return.”

  8. Having an opinion on the basis of an invasion is well above my pay grade. Is Ukraine politics corrupt ? Absolutely
    Is the US part of the problem ? Absolutely I recall the US justification for invading Iraq was WMDs and they never found any.

    Lots of innocent people will lose their lives for the sake of political agendas on any side, that is why our family left Ukraine/ Russian dysfunction. Many times I have been told of how Ukraine in no where near its potential of an agricultural powerhouse. One day in this life I hope to see it all and gain a better understanding of my origins.

    My hope and prayers is that this ends in days and get these last couple years behind us.

    1. I recall the US justification for invading Iraq was WMDs and they never found any.

      Yeah, they did. Over 500 warheads. That they admitted to.

      1. Exactly. I was against going into Iraq, but our media was just as dishonest then as it is now. They did find WMD, but not until after the media declared we didn’t. And of course they never corrected the story.

    1. Exactly.
      Xi is watching how Biden reacts to this mess.
      Taiwan makes essentially all the electronics that run Western society, economy, and military.
      Losing it to Xi would make Putin’s control over Europe’s energy child’s play.

    1. And you really have to wonder how much we’re hearing is true? People have been known to lie on the internet.

  9. I dont trust anybody involved with anything these days.. Everybody has lost their minds.. Including me..

  10. If only there wasn’t massive immigration of a few hundreds of thousands of Russians into the Ukraine 100 years ago,none of this murder,mayhem and destruction would be happening today.
    .
    The lesson is: don’t allow massive immigration into your sovereign countries or decades later you will suffer the consequences.
    .
    Do you hear that USA,on your southern border?
    Do you hear that Europe?
    Do you hear that Canada?
    Do you hear that Australia?

    1. @Mr. Greg:
      Too late.
      So soon you should start brushing up on practicing with your head down kissing the floor and your ass up in the air.

    1. You’re wrong, you can’t trust a commie dictator ex KGB fascist. Putin is in a class by himself. Trudeau and Biden are just leftist fools.

    2. Let’s put it this way:
      Globalists like Shcwab and Soros control Biden and Trudeau.
      Biden’s dirty fingers are all over Ukraine.
      They do not control Putin.
      That gives me enough reason to not trust MSM on this, and look a little deeper.

  11. Putin originated in the KGB, and careered in East Germany. His main power is disinformation, not military. These are 55 minutes of disinformation: a kernel of truth like all good disinformation, and 90% lies, exaggerations, and misrepresentations.

    Bottom line is this: Russia is attacking a nation with less than a 10th of its military power and economy. Russia is led by a brutal dictator who has killed his own people, and murdered people outside his country. Ukraine is led by a former comedian who was elected democratically. Ukrainians seem to be fighting back heroically, against all odds, against the Russians who Putin claims are coming to save them from the evils of the EU, the USA, and the NGOs.

    I am no fan of the NGOs, nor the EU, nor current US policy in Europe, but none of that makes Putin’s words anything other than a bold-faced attempt to justify what can’t be justified.

    1. Absolutely certain Zelensky was “democratically elected”? You might want to look into that. That is if you have an open mind.

      1. He was elected as democratically as is possible in that part of the world at this time. His predecessor gave up power, respecting the results of the elections. Initially it was thought he would favour the Russians, but as it turns out he hasn’t. His popularity immediately after the election was very high, and has since waned considerably, into the negative range, but he still remained the single most popular potential leader.

        As I said, “as democratically as is possible in that part of the world at this time”. Name one better.

        1. *
          Elections as we know them in the western world are
          essentially popularity contests financed by shadowy
          corporate elitists
          . They put their financial might
          behind people who are most willing to enable their many
          and varied profit-making ventures.

          Think Justin and SNC/Lavalin or Power Corporation.

          We should not be smug about other folks processes.

          *

          1. The fact that we have the pathetic moron Trudeau as our PM right now is not due to Power Corp or shadowy financiers. It’s due to an electorate that has been taught that “sharing is caring”, and “diversity is our strength”, etc rather than the value of strength, steadfastness, and respect for your history. It’s the result of an educational system that has been ruining our children for 2 generations with no serious opposition. Those children have become our media, our corporate leaders, our citizen representatives. Every statue of JA MacDonald we tear down is a nail in our coffin, every “gender inclusivity” training session is another nail. We’ve lost the battle in the education world, or rather we never fought it and let the teachers and “educators” run rampant, and so we lost the war.

            The only way back I see now is a crisis so deep and so prolonged that it will put the lie to all the crap that our society has taken for granted since WWII, but that would be such a horrible event that I’d rather not live through it.

          2. Zelensky was probably elected due to his comedy series “Servant of the People”. Wishful thinking of the electorate that the character he played on TV was going to be what they’d get in real life. Look what WE elected, not once, but three times, based on looks. Most of their younger electorate all have their faces glued to their phones, same as ours.

          3. Canada is the most diverse country in the world. Name one that even comes close.

            You wonder why history is not respected? Who’s history?

            Power Corporation and the Laurentian elites have a horse or two in every federal election. They set the table. The proles get excited over their ‘choices’ and elect one of the hand picked candidates.

    2. The answer in all this is the lackadaisical response to his aggression.

      MI6 thinks LGBTQ is more important

      Jf Kerry things global warming is more important

      The US still buys oil and the sanctions are a joke

      Trump was proved right about NATO.

      And Biden, Hillary, Pelosi, Romney etc have ties to Ukraine.

      1. Afaf, well as to MI6, most of them are LGBTQerty so, of course it’s important…to them. (the british civil service is rife with LGBT types). Kerry is affiliated with the WEF/Great Reset plans, so his stupid remark about concern about the climate while people are dying, is par for the course, and he has zero care for regular people. Yes, the sanctions are a joke and a deliberate distraction. Trump has been right about a great many things. Those you mention with ties to the Ukraine, are all rich, sick, and power hungry, so no surprises there. The reason for the ‘lackadaisical response is simple, their all in the club, we however, are not. We regular folk are just useful idiots to their power ambitions, including useful as cannon fodder!

        Not saying your post was incorrect, I just felt like joining in the venting. 🙂

        1. @abtrapper:
          I was alluding to Poutine’s silly claim he was fighting against the nazi-fication of the Ukraine.

    3. “Putin originated in the KGB, and careered in East Germany. His main power is disinformation, not military”

      That same statement could apply to George Bush Sr. Did anyone here support George?

  12. Two points:
    1. Putin is having difficulty breathing.
    2. He is a very small man behind a very big desk.

      1. At first I thought that too, that the sighs were of exasperation, as in “You should know this, it’s common knowledge, but let me explain it to you again.” But listening and watching further, it does not seem that way. Deep sighs that are out of sync with what is (presumably) being said, and repeated throat clearing.

        He does not seem to be physically well. Certainly seems to be more mentally there than Biden, but sounds physically stressed.

    1. His sighs elicited an aura of a patriarch missing the “good old days”. I felt it was for effect.

      Or he has long Covid.

    2. Maybe Putin speeded up the game by going after ALL of Ukraine is because he knows HE is running out of time, and knows the idiots that come after him will F### it all up?

  13. To the people who actually watched the speech, did you find his observations of corruption in The West in Ukraine were similar to what we are seeing in regards to WEF in Canada? Maybe he is pointing something out to us, or possibly using the “freedom convoy “ movement to garner sympathy with similar story telling. It’s all fascinating.
    Are his assertions true? Not sure and some of his “facts” could be easily checked, but his reasoning via this infiltration into Ukraine would easily be accepted by Canadians who were looking for a way to get out from under the NWO thumb.

    1. Yeah, the Ukranian government is a globalist puppet. That much is true. However most Ukranians won’t agree with Putins claims on their territory or the idea that they’re better off as one people.

      It’s a nasty situation on both sides. It’s like asking a Canadian if they want to stay under the thumb of our dictatorial parliament or be occupied by China. Both options are very bad.

  14. How’s that trickle-down Western liberalism that the IOC promised when awarding the Olympic Games to China and Russia working out?

    1. With respect to Putin, he talks as though Ukraine was formed as a “gift” by Stalin and Kruschev. No mention of Stalin’s Holodomre against the Ukrainians.

  15. I disagreee with the fundamental premise of this fable.
    The One Sided Armistice Negotiations of WW1 begat WW2.
    The total destruction and division of Germany afterwards prevented any trouble from GERMANY.
    The Germans won’t even defend their own women anymore, much less conquer Europe.
    Germany was no longer a problem after 1945.

    Russia is at the post WW1 Germany stage.
    The Russians kicked ass in their Soviet version of the Franco Prussian War (1941-1945), and then a peaceful but very destructive WW1 in the 1990’s, where everything Soviet fell apart.
    Now Putin has done their version of the Rhineland (Georgia), and Austrian Anschluss (Crimea), and is attempting the Russian Sudetenland/Czechoslavakian Conquest in one fell swoop.
    Would WW2 have happened if Hitler had been overthrown by the German Military and/or Industrialists in early to mid 1939?

    What if Russia does not take Ukraine right away?
    Anyone remember the Russo-Finnish War?
    Russia took a while, but basically drowned Finland in Russian blood.
    If Putin and his ramshackle Russia takes Ukraine?
    Next Stop is literally Poland and the Baltic States all over again.
    Konigsberg is very lonely.
    In six months? Six years? Maybe that depends on what Xi and the CCP do in the Pacific?

  16. This speech is a work of genius.

    They are the words of a leader who believes, in truth, that his country and his people are worth fighting for, not selling at pennies on the dollar to China.

    They are also the words of a leader who understands the threat imposed by the Empire of Lies to his home country, and is willing to actually do something about it.

    If your heart does not lift upon hearing it, you probably don’t have one.

    Think about it as well. What do most SDAers here have to lose?

    What does it matter if Bay Street and the Annex are reduced to radioactive ash?

    The blood-red and orange tumours on Canada’s body are the parts by far the most likely to be eradicated in case of a war with Russia, clearing the way for good men to rebuild.

    1. *
      Hey, Awful… looks like your homie is ready to blow up the whole world

      “Russian President Vladimir Putin raised the alert status for his nuclear forces to
      special regime of combat duty‘ as Russia and Ukraine battle for the fourth day.”

      Still a Putin fan-boy?

      *

    2. I agree with what you are seeing.
      In all of the articles, videos, podcasts etc I am noticing a very very large hole that is being completely ignored. The media is driving a scripted narrative, carefully crafted to divert attention away from the napping president. Cyber and nuclear attacks imminent? Should we get excited by hysteria that doesn’t put a dint in the American president’s afternoon nap schedule?

    3. “…clearing the way for good men to rebuild….”

      Well that pretty much excludes you, you’re neither good nor really a man, that’s why you wife left you flaccid boy (your words not mine).

      1. We were ten years married before she announced she needed a woman to be truly happy. Her words, not mine.

        Then she hired a lawyer to take every penny I had in the world.

        It’s hard to delude oneself about the world after being betrayed like that.

        She is about to lose everything, and deserves to. I have nothing to lose.

        1. So it took you a decade to turn her into a lesbo? Maybe if you could get it up she would not be disappointed with men in general.

    4. “for good men to rebuild”

      Will they be twisted, homicidal maniacs such as yourself?

  17. I see the article is written by a Second Generation State Department Dweeb, and a Bushie to boot. Talk about doomed to failure?

  18. I am as interested in Vladimir Putin’s purported reasons for invading Ukraine as I am in OBL‘s declaration of War to America and the West in general. All I am interested in is to provide these bastards with very good reasons never to try again. An equidistance towards Putin and NATO is just as idiotic now as it was in the times of the USSR.

  19. No matter how things go, Russia, not surprisingly considering who controls the media, has lost the propaganda war.

    It’s a bit sad to live in a world where there’s one side to every story.

    1. @jiminalaska, 100% – we’ve been lied to so much by our governments and by their paid for media, it’s almost impossible to believe anything they tell us anymore. “Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice…..well what about a decade or two of lies and manipulation, but right now it’s “believe what we say”.

      I don’t think they are still looking for any WMD’s in Iraq, what with all the Al Qaeda or ISIS of whatever they call themselves today running around the wonderful “post national state” it’s become.

  20. The subtitles dropped the end of every sentence,
    Is there a transcript?
    Putin looks tired and cranky.
    Pretty scary state of affairs when the “Arch Enemy of Civilization” or so our Media insists,sounds more reasonable and sane than the people who pretend to lead us.
    Interesting little history lesson,from the Official Russian POV.
    Putin is right.
    Our Leaders Lie,they lie as naturally as a fish swims,so their words mean nothing.
    Assurance after assurance,with the actions being the complete opposite of them “purdy words”.
    Harkening back to the madness of President Trump’s 4 years,our Demon Rats were obsessive in their desire to paint Russia Bad,so deranged in fact they resembled a magic 8 ball.
    A nation that has been attacked as many times as Russia,historically speaking,has every right to be paranoid.
    Is it still paranoia when they are out to get you?
    Why is the Dombas Region news to me?
    Wonderful coverage by the Fake Newz Crew again?
    Why lie if you can just omit coverage?
    What stood out through Putin’s Speech,is that he could as easily be describing the domestic policy of the USA and Canadian Governments.
    NATO acts and speaks toward Russia exactly as our Dear Leaders do to us,their humble taxpayers.
    Surprise Surprise.
    The old Russia Boogey Man meme is worn out.
    Seems almost as real as Global Warming.
    And considering the source is the same..Our Parasitic Overload..
    Maybe buying anything about this “crisis” is an intelligence test.
    Are we being conned?
    You know it.
    But by whom and for what purpose?
    For declaring War,when domestic affairs reach open exposure of fraud,extortion,theft and lawlessness,is an age old tradition of the Evil Greedy Bastards,who wish to rule.
    So the question is;
    Who is the more immediate danger?
    Ottawa,Washington or Moscow?

      1. or Beijing…

        “The timing is almost perfect as well. We have the highest stock market prices, the tightest credit levels, and the lowest default rates in the West. Inflation is accelerating. The Fed is on the brink of tightening and the President is on the brink of remembering what he was about to say. Domestic protesters are forcing the leaders of the Western world into hiding (Canada) and causing severe police responses that make the public question whether they live in a free society. The West is vulnerable. Escalating this way will create a lot of pain for the West. One thing COVID taught was that one virus could disrupt the global supply chain. Imagine what a deliberate, even if temporary, loss of electricity, the net and satellites systems will do to disrupt the supply chain.”

    1. JR, “Who is the more immediate danger?”

      Oooh, hand up, I know, I know, Pick me, I know this one!!!!

  21. Well, we now have Soros praising Ukraine’s “democratic and Open Society ™️ “ while denouncing Putin.
    We are all hungry for clues right now. That’s a big one.

  22. The western world has a long history of getting mixed up in things it didn’t understand and making them worse. Afghanistan alone should have taught us the lesson to stay out of places that have long histories of internal ethnic tensions.

    1. Funny you mention Afghanistan. You’d think Afghanistan would have taught the Russians a lesson.
      Apparently they never get tired of body bags coming home.
      If those two IL 76 that were reported as downed were carrying troops the losses would have been huge. (300 – 400?)

  23. The best thing that could happen to Europe in the long run would be the pipelines to Europe being shut down for an extended period.
    Let them get good and cold and out of fuel for a few months and they might see the folly of being reliant on Russia for energy.

    Or not.
    They are pretty dammed dumb.

  24. If you want to condemn Russia for starting a war, then go ahead but don’t get righteous and start talking about NATO or the west being charged with keeping world order.
    Putin’s explanation is a hell of a lot more rational than those given for Viet Nam, Iraq, libya and Afghanistan. It is at least as good as the one for Korea. We have stated wars against small countries for decades, both hot ones and dirty cold ones, and always in our interests. Now that the Russians are (again ) starting one in their interests the hypocrites are out in force.

  25. Meh.

    Wasn’t the speech explaining why we had to invade Iraq to get the WMDs just about 55 mins long?

    Just swap WMDs with “Nazis” and you get the same thing – we invaded, whoops we didn’t find any, might as well change the regime while we’re here.

  26. Has anyone in the media or diplomatic community noticed the irony of the current Ukraine situation ?

    Allowing Ukraine into NATO and as Putin noted , Ukraine potentially becoming a nuclear power , is from the Russian perspective , the same as the USA viewed Khrushchev placing nuclear missiles in Cuba in 1962.

    I guess irony has a best before date.

  27. Although what is happening in Ukraine is terrible (and can be laid at the feet of Biden, Putin, Trudeau and the rest of Europe), let one not forget that Justin is batsh– crazy and that Taiwan is the end-goal.

  28. I listened to the whole speech and find Putin’s case to be a credible concern for his country. Constant encroachment of his border by NATO. Well laid out historical relevance to where we are today. Call me a commie. My current Canadian government is looking to shut down my banking because I donated to a Canadian trucker freedom cause. WTF that is as commie as it gets. I call that Turd foucker out. He calls himself a once drama teacher of Canadian politics. Putin has balls Justin can only dream about.

  29. On another vein I tend to lean 180 degrees from the views of where the Corpse and American lame stream media are spinning. Call it a personal learned history of disappointment and any semblance of representing any true facts. Just saying.

    bverwey

  30. If only there was some way for Putin, modern globalism, Soros and all the actors in this drama to lose, but the same could be said of other big wars, and there were winners and losers. So my first choice would be Putin. We can take on the others as we have done before, once we survive this. Putin appears to be dying. He was sitting about fifty feet away from the two generals when he laid down his nuclear threat (classic KGB there). He has been keeping a distance in all public meetings. Either he smells really bad or he wants to make sure nobody jabs him with the old poisoned umbrella.

    So now we have a dying madman running one nuclear power, and a demented old fool the other one. Boris promises to use his few sensibly though, I am so reassured.

    1. Wasn’t it the Iran – Iraq war where a US government official said something to the effect that “this is one war where you want both sides to lose”?
