Down The Primrose Path

Biden will fight Putin to the very last Ukrainian.

A sober analysis here.

In the Paris daily Le Figaro this month, Henri Guaino, a top adviser to Nicolas Sarkozy when he was president of France, warned that Europe’s countries, under the shortsighted leadership of the United States, were “sleepwalking” into war with Russia. Mr. Guaino was borrowing a metaphor that the historian Christopher Clark used to describe the origins of World War I.

Naturally, Mr. Guaino understands that Russia is most directly to blame for the present conflict in Ukraine. It was Russia that massed its troops on the frontier last fall and winter and — having demanded from NATO a number of Ukraine-related security guarantees that NATO rejected — began the shelling and killing on Feb. 24.

But the United States has helped turn this tragic, local and ambiguous conflict into a potential world conflagration. By misunderstanding the war’s logic, Mr. Guaino argues, the West, led by the Biden administration, is giving the conflict a momentum that may be impossible to stop.

He is right.

[…]

The rocky course of the war in Ukraine thus far has vindicated Mr. Putin’s diagnosis, if not his conduct. Though Ukraine’s military industry was important in Soviet times, by 2014 the country barely had a modern military at all. Oligarchs, not the state, armed and funded some of the militias sent to fight Russian-supported separatists in the east. The United States started arming and training Ukraine’s military, hesitantly at first under President Barack Obama. Modern hardware began flowing during the Trump administration, though, and today the country is armed to the teeth.

Since 2018, Ukraine has received U.S.-built Javelin antitank missiles, Czech artillery and Turkish Bayraktar drones and other NATO-interoperable weaponry. The United States and Canada have lately sent up-to-date British-designed M777 howitzers that fire GPS-guided Excalibur shells. President Biden just signed into law a $40 billion military aid package.

In this light, mockery of Russia’s battlefield performance is misplaced. Russia is not being stymied by a plucky agricultural country a third its size; it is holding its own, at least for now, against NATO’s advanced economic, cyber and battlefield weapons.

And this is where Mr. Guaino is correct to accuse the West of sleepwalking. The United States is trying to maintain the fiction that arming one’s allies is not the same thing as participating in combat.

Narrative shift: “Gone is the rosy idealizing lens through which each and every encounter with the Russians is typically portrayed.”

  1. Bob Moriarty: Ukraine Will Surrender & the Great Reset Will Fail

    Vietnam veteran, author, and investor Bob Moriarty discusses the war in Ukraine, how the U.S. has been supporting Nazis since WWII, and that Russia is acting in self-defense. Zelensky is being run by the U.S. and Ukraine will end up being split into three pieces. Everything we’re seeing in regards to the collapsing economy and food and energy shortages is a result of The Great Reset. Bob believes Putin is not going along with the Davos project and that we’re witnessing the ultimate battle between good and evil. America is at the end of empire and we’re experiencing a worldwide revolution as the economy deteriorates which will last for years.

  2. Brings to mind the immortal words of Lord Fahrquad in Shrek: “Some of you may die, but that is a price I am willing to pay.”

  5. Well…isn’t that the same attitude of ANYONE who is a bought n paid for WEF “useful idiot” …certainly Biden, Arden, Trudeau, Obama, The Clintons, Bush et all, British Royalty & most of the house of Representatives, plus the EU pols who all fit that criteria to a T….alongside the Entire Western main stream media.

    “Fighting every Russian to the last Ukrainian”. PRECISELY.

    A War “Declared” by the White house..who did everything possible to ENSURE it occured.

    I totally believe that When (not if) Ukraine falls, so goes the WEF – Losing their cherished country where literally anything goes has been ” Status Normalis”

    Money Laundering, Bio weapons/ Drug labs, Weapons dissemination…all to ensure an “anything goes” virtual playground for the uber rich.

    Am Surprised Epstein didn’t have a mansion there either…??

    When you have (Rothschilds et all), bemoaning its potential downfall….speaks volumes to me.

    Carry on Vladimir..

  7. Biden is such a fake — and in my view an illegitimate Present. His comments just make me want to cheer for Putin.

    1. Agreed. Biden and the selected across the world have been hand-picked to lead their people to ruin. Russia is the good guys in every scenario.

      The USA (Canada too) is looking more and more like a whore of Babylon. Every day we see more and more direct evidence that western society is perverted and morally compromised. Conservatives everywhere have been infiltrated by the same debauchery and treason, and too willing to play along to get along.

      I support Putin’s efforts and Russia. I reject most NATO and American attempts to spread their versions of a morally deficient modernist ideal.

      **If** my learned beliefs are “Russian propaganda” so be it. I wonder how many Russian haters have read the Gulag Archipelago and understood that the real horror of the last century was communism. Modern Russia is not the Soviet Union! Modern America and Canada probably is.

      1. “Modern Russia is not the Soviet Union! ”

        Old russia = Soviet Union = Modern russia.

        Same whore different lipstick.

  8. I don’t see any good guys here.

    I see bad guys on every side, including a bad guy media selling a comic book narrative, and mobs of lazy, stupid guys buying into it.

    1. Willful blindness, Ukrainians defending their country from the Siberian Mongol invasion are the good guys, clearly and unquestionably.

      2. You can detach from Zelenskys piano playing member.

        Willfully blind is not recognizing the Obongo/Biden corruption of Ukraine, and their fully funded regime change in 2014, resulting in Trudeau Jr being inserted as “leader”.

        35 Million bucks buys a nice Florida mansion, and loyalty, don’t it?

        1. Dhimicrat corruption in Ukraine is not a meaningful factor. But if you want to talk about it, look up the role Podesta Group has been playing on Pootin’s behalf. You may experience some cognitive dissonance.

          Likewise 2014 removal of Pootin’s puppet was done by Ukrainians. Western support did not mean much.

          Zelensky’s mansion is neither here nor there. But since you went there, wonna compare his wealth to Pootin’s maybe?

      3. Sorry, Colonialista, it’s just not that clear. There are conflicting versions of events. It comes down to who you choose to believe. For me, the information about the US controlled biolabs on Putin’s doorstep lend credence to Putin’s version of things.

        1. Yes, it really that simple. Every single anti-Ukrainian story centers around one notion: that Ukrainians have no right to, or even sense of self determination. That their fate is to be determined by Siberians. That anyone who offers them a hand is evil because Pootin said so. This is all weapons grade bullshit.

  9. Quoting someone on here a while back,
    “ “Sure Putin is a crook and sociopathic thug but, heh, give me a short list of western “leaders” that aren’t”.

  10. https://2001-2009.state.gov/g/tip/rls/tiprpt/2008/105389.htm

    Ukraine is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children trafficked transnationally for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor. Ukrainian women are trafficked to Russia, Poland, Turkey, the Czech Republic, the United Arab Emirates, Austria, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Greece, Israel, Spain, Lebanon, Hungary, Slovak Republic, Cyprus, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Serbia, Argentina, Norway, and Bahrain. The majority of Ukrainian labor trafficking victims were men exploited in Russia, the Czech Republic and Poland, primarily forced to work as construction laborers, sailors, and factory and agriculture workers. There are indications Ukraine is a destination for people from neighboring countries trafficked for forced labor and sexual exploitation. In addition, trafficking occurs within Ukraine; men and women are trafficked within the country for the purposes of labor exploitation in the agriculture and service sectors, commercial sexual exploitation, and forced begging. Ukrainian children are trafficked both internally and transnationally for commercial sexual exploitation, forced begging, and involuntary servitude in the agriculture industry. An IOM survey released in December 2006 concluded that since 1991, approximately 117,000 Ukrainians had been forced into exploitative situations in Europe, the Middle East, and Russia.

    The Government of Ukraine does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is making significant efforts to do so. While there was little evidence of efforts to curb trafficking complicity of government officials and of concrete steps to protect and assist trafficking victims at the national level, local governments made some progress on victim assistance. The government also made modest, but tangible, progress in improving the punishment of convicted traffickers, prosecuting labor trafficking, training the judiciary, and carrying out prevention activities.

    Recommendations for Ukraine: Continue efforts to ensure that convicted traffickers serve significant jail time; take steps to curb complicity by government officials; continue trafficking-specific training for prosecutors and judges; increase funding for victim protection and assistance; and take steps to discourage the demand for commercial sex acts.

  12. I’m old enough to remember that “unpredictable” Trump would start WW3.

  13. Lots of Bull in that NYT opinion piece, but a must read for an uniformed IDIOT like the COLON!

  14. “Biden will fight Putin to the very last Ukrainian.”

    Ukrainians are fighting to the last Ukrainian and are begging the civilized world for help. Much more help should be sent.

      1. Stop parroting Kremlin.
        Look up Sparta Reconnaissance Battalion if you are oh so concerned about Nazis. Again, severe cognitive dissonance warning.

  15. Russia did not attack until the nazisstarted shelling the Donbas and other Eastern regions.

    1. Bullshit, russia has been occupying parts of Ukraine for years. Ukraine has every right to take them back by force. This includes areas occupied by terrorists on Kremlin’s payroll.

      Russia has no right to expand or exists outside of russia.

        1. None of it is propaganda. Even if you repeat the same tired lines a few more times it will still not be deep state propaganda. You on the other hand have swallowed Kremlin’s bait, hook, line and sinker.

  16. What many in the west don’t realize when we talk about helping Ukraine at all costs is the possible response by Russia. They may view mutually assured destruction over going home in shameful defeat and the return to the status quo, especially if this is do or die to them regarding their feelings on NATOs and the west ever increasing presence on their borders. They won’t just roll over and die, they will take us with them. Not that we should let them have Ukraine, but what can we do about it if all their chips and cards are on the table and they have a loaded pistol in nuclear weapons pointed at us under the table, and aren’t afraid to use them. Both sides have spoken about actually using nuclear weapons.

  17. Nuclear holocaust ignited by the war in Ukraine is of no concern but CO2 emissions will destroy mankind. I suppose the war in Ukraine is the first, marvelously orchestrated low-carbon-emissions conflict in history.

    Got it, Dear Leader. I’m so glad you’re looking out for us.

  19. OK so tell us again why Canada, with a combined military force smaller than the NYPD and 36M taxpayers, and 9 Trillion in Total Government Debt. Be involved with a struggle for the Hog Trough of Tax Dollars in the Ukraine’s NAZI war against Putin etc.
    The EU has 800M citizens and the 3 rd largest economy on the planet.
    Is there some chance Trudeau or Canada can get some of the kick back money from the Ukraine Hog Trough?
    Canada has 36,000 miles of coastline on 3 oceans, and the country is collapsing due to gross government over spending on welfare programs for the whole world.
    Under Harper the Magnificent Globalist Retard in CPC clothing Canada was already 4.1T in debt in 2014. And all he could do was piss his wool suit. Now Trudeau has it at 9 Trillion as announced in the HOC

    https://torontosun.com/2014/04/11/all-levels-of-canadian-government-debt-total-41-trillion

    Canada is moving rapidly into the failed state category. When no country very soon accepts our asswipe currency and inflation increases, the country will collapse and break apart. It already costs over 200 Dollars to gas up your PK Up to go to work in Alberta.
    Wake Up Canada. We are done. The Government of Trudeau/Singh will soon be shutting off welfare scams and corporate welfare programs.
    It could be very bad very fast in the Great Canadian Penal Colony with the elected Queeny Thingy For Life Justin Trudeau and his knob gobbler Singh
