They’ve fought Putin to the very last Ukrainian.
A series of remarkable events with enormous consequences for Ukraine tumbled in rapid succession this week, lifting the veil on years of untrammeled and proud — yet ultimately purposeless and sociopathic — lying by the Biden administration and the Pentagon about the war there.
First, ahead of a crucial vote on military aid to both Ukraine and Israel Wednesday, Joe Biden went on TV to denounce Republicans for threatening to halt the $110 billion national security package. GOP leaders had told the White House they wouldn’t support the bill without border-sealing assurances of the type they knew Democrats wouldn’t accept, so Biden was cornered and clearly pissed. Eyes snapped wide open as the (surely fantastic) drugs aides must pump in by the gallon before public appearances kicked in, Biden went off:
“Republicans think they can get everything they want without any bipartisan compromise,” he snapped. “And now they’re willing to literally kneecap Ukraine on the battlefield and damage our national security in the process.” […]
A few hours later, National Security spokesperson John Kirby upped the ante, telling ABC reporter Selena Wang that not only should we be contemplating deployment of American troops, but a possible cost in American “blood” if Putin is allowed to take Ukraine and threaten other NATO countries. (That potential cost has been the same since NATO was founded in 1949, but whatever). Kirby’s offhand observation that Ukraine would “lose this war” absent U.S. support was the actual big news, but Kirby’s “based Biden” comments about “blood” were the ones that went viral. […]
After that bang-bang-bang succession of events, proclamations of imminent doom for Ukraine issued from the mouths of every Western national security official and war-supporting politician within reach of a microphone. Then Tucker Carlson tweeted a report that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told House members in a classified briefing that if they didn’t approve more money for Ukraine, “we’ll send your uncles, cousins and sons to fight Russia.”
The weirdly personal threat, which Tucker insists is a verbatim quote, showed how desperate a moment this is for the national security state. Potential consequences extend far beyond loss and suffering for Ukraine. The entire interventionist project is looking at a setback on the scale of the Iraq disaster, a political fiasco so enormous it prompted four years of cuts to the defense budget. Watching Putin waltz across Ukraine after the last two years of blood, profligate spending, and premature end zone celebrations by retired brass and Beltway think-tankers would make the withdrawal from Afghanistan look like one of Biden’s tarmac stumbles by comparison.
“Lying” just like every word ever posted on this blog on this very topic by our resident stinking Nazi dog-turd.
WWReddit is built on a pack of lies and a constant stream misinfoganda. Anyone who doesn’t believe our government is a den of thieves and liars is terminally ignorant.
Which one? I can’t keep them all straight.
Regarding the money going into Ukraine, if and when the Republicans retake the White House will they audit this transfer of wealth? I’m thinking no in a Hillary Clinton “what good would it do” kind of political answer.
And on the war, when Russia wins and annexes one third of Ukraine, a country that will not be joining NATO, will it have been worth it?
And on NATO, are western countries now investing 2.0% of their GDP into NATO as promised?
“During the 2014 summit, all NATO members agreed to spend at least 2% of their GDPs on defense by 2025. In 2017, only four nations met the threshold: The United States (3.6%), Greece (2.4%), the United Kingdom (2.1%), and Poland (2.0%). However, by 2021, ten countries were meeting the percentage target.”

So no. Only 10 of 31 countries are meeting their NATO investment targets and Canada is not one of them.
If NATO countries spent 2% GDP, they would outspend Russia by a factor of 6 to 10. That is assuming they would spend it on military hardware and troops, instead of menstruation kits and pride flags.
Uniparty members (GOPe and Demons) have benefitted greatly from their Ukrainian binge fest, with many making BooKoo bucks behind the scenes off of the printing presses and endless lies and distortions about how “great” things were going in Ukraine.
The fall of Ukraine was and is eminently predictable, as far back as Feb of 2022. Nothing has changed since then. The irony is that Russia has never looked to destroy or take over Ukraine, let alone “marching on the rest of Europe”. Deep State Propaganda at its worst, for the suckers swallowing MSM dirge.
Zelensky has reportedly received his US immigration papers. That’s a sure way to “defend his people”, at the cost of half a million young males, millions displaced from Ukraine permanently, all to enrich himself, a few other corrupt leaders, and of course, the US political leadership enriching itself as well. What’s a half million casualties, pretty soon, the innocents might add up to something!
At least we know that the cash we sent is not being wasted in feeding the Ukrainian army:

Meanwhile, who the hell is crossing the southern US border EVERY SINGLE DAY? Why does the US military not shoot back at Iran? How many Hezbollah sleeper cells are ready to be activated, making Oct. 7 in Israel look like child’s play, if they do? Sure. Let’s defend Ukraine’s border. Maybe WWIII can save Biden and the Democrats? Pathetic.
^^absolutely!
Billions of our tax dollars to defend Ukraine’s border over a regional conflict, and we leave ours wide open to all the enemies of the Western World.
I wonder when it will finally click with the average taxpaying Joe that our elitists governments view us as the enemy, and treat us accordingly?
“I wonder when it will finally click with the average taxpaying Joe that our elitists governments view us as the enemy, and treat us accordingly?”
“I wonder when it will finally click with the average taxpaying Joe that our elitists governments view us as the enemy, and treat THEM accordingly?”
There fixed it for you.
“…..and treat THEM accordingly?”
You not a taxpayer?
I am very much a taxpayer, i am wondering when Joe taxpayer will treat them (the government) accordingly i.e. trees, ropes and ya know.
Ahh, couldn’t figure out the switch, agree 100% there needs to be some accountability.
I am fully awake, but Alex Jones’ interview with Tucker shook me. I don’t see a way for good people to remain free. The amount of true, insidious, evil that has taken hold is terrifying and depressing. It was one thing when the enemy was external and clearly identifiable. But our own leaders have turned against us and are waging an undeclared war on us. Every institution is compromised/captured. They are intent on burning us to the ground so they can rule over the ashes. I don’t see this ending well at all.
I’ve never been a conspiracy enthusiast … but I’m afraid Alex Jones is mostly spot on. And yes, this IS a spiritual war against the people of America (and the world) … and the Evil Spirits are doing things that make Pizzagate appear … “normal”. Yeah, pedophila is “the New Democrat normal” … fiddling about … fiddling about … with your daughter’s natural sex hormones, breasts and gina.
Me neither but I couldn’t see where Jones was wrong on anything. I shared the interview with a bunch of people, saying if you had have told me this ten years, hell four years ago, I’d have called you nuts. What can we do? Buy more ammo and stock up on can goods. And stay away from big events.
I will STILL be moving to RURAL … deep RURAL USA. I’m out of the shit show that is the S.F. Bay Area … here’s what’s happening in the town right next door to me …

Ain’t diversity wonderful … gag.
I shared the video with my wife and she told me to unlock the guns. I feel pretty safe in this small town in the middle of Wisconsin but … who knows?
They said the war in Ukraine was safe and effective.. Now put your mask on and give me a Sieg heil :)..

Republicans think they can get everything they want without any bipartisan compromise ??? Said the leftists who want to transform every aspect of our life and nation without a lick of compromise..
This is why it’s important to never fight in front of your children.. Mom and Dad grasping at straws can not be taken back..
WW3 much?.. Im sure America blowing its wad in Ukraine will have dire consequences for Europe and the world..
Pax Americana done and done because America is a air and naval power drawn into a land war.. Let’s put our weakest foot forward in the hope nuclear war is avoided..
America for all its power is not setup to fight and win a land war against another super power.. They are setup to destroy it and themselves along with it.. We used to call it MAD for a reason..
I remember bi-partisanship from Joe’s stint as vice president. That’s how Democrats gave us Obamacare.
Incidentally, the Biden family took their lead from those years, as they are all about vice.
The real question is: Why is the Biden admin willing to risk all this just so the human trafficking at the southern border is not impeded?
Here’s why:
Ukraine is designed to weaken and drain America militarily and economically, while covering up bio weapons labs and elite corruption. The southern border is to weaken American sovereignty, entrench rigged elections, depress wages, transform demography, and destabilize society.
The Biden/Obama regime is Marxist, globalist, and fundamentally anti-American. They should all be rounded up, tried for treason, and shot/hanged. They will precipitate ww3 before ever being stopped.

where I stopped reading
The part that you stopped reading at is the last part of the article that isn’t paywalled.
So, you’re either a paid subscriber to Racket News or lust a plain old liar.
I suspect the latter.
I guess you didn’t read any of it: the sentence is in the second paragraph of the
text freely available above in Kate’s paste.
“yet ultimately purposeless and sociopathic — lying”
It has a purpose. It manufactures a narrative that a lot of people want to believe, and hence bolsters resolve that the truth would dissolve. It hardly needs to be said that it doesn’t just apply to Ukraine.
If dead people can vote democrat, it can’t be difficult for wetbacks to vote.
The Porous Border ensures Democrat Rule.
The danger here is that Biden and Austen may actually commit American troops to fight in Ukraine. I’m so old I can remember when the Democrats were the anti-war party.
“The danger here is that Biden and Austen may actually commit American troops to fight in Ukraine. ”
Nah, they’re just bluffing. They know full well it would be the kiss of death for any government that attempted to do so. American (and Canadian) soldiers on the ground fighting *and dying* to defend one of the most corrupt countries on earth? And defend them from what, exactly…the right to mass-murder more ethnic Russians living in select regions of Ukraine?
People who don’t already know any of the relevant history here would be shocked to realize how complicit the US was in starting this whole thing back in 2014, how they deliberately scuttled a peace agreement in April of 2022 and how they (and the rest of the world) turned a blind eye to Ukraine not only reneging on an agreement to allow referendums in Southern Ukraine but instead committing attempted genocide against *their own people* (and using unrepentant neo-Nazis to do so, apparently).
Well before that there was the “Not one inch!” promise…and many more incidents and issues that the general public knows very little about. The point being, all of this information would be *front and center* again if the US were to even begin to send troops into Ukraine to fight the Russian army….and they can no longer suppress that kind of information in the age of social media.
@Fred from BC – “Nah, they’re just bluffing.”
I don’t think they’re bluffing.
Reminds me of Hitler, Saddam, or Zelensky hiding in their doomsday bunkers as their world burns above. Always that last hope that they’ll come out of it somehow and end up in a beautiful beach mansion with a billion dollar offshore bank account.
This could go any direction from here, but a peaceful resolution and common sense leadership seems a long long way away for anything good to come out of it for any of us.
@Paul and MarkV:
The main reason I believe they are bluffing is that, unlike Hitler or Saddam, our current ‘leaders’ also need to stand for re-election at some point. Public support for the continuation of this Ukrainian fiasco is falling off a cliff, so telling the public that they have to continue to funnel billions of their tax dollars into a money hole with no legitimate reason or reward *and* send their children to die over there would seem to be political suicide.
I hope I’m correct in this assumption. Seriously.
@Fred from BC
Yours is sound logic, on the other hand we need to then presume they are acting on logic as well.
There is also the narrative that there is simply too much for them to lose, beyond our full knowledge that compels them to act, even “damn the election” so to say. Obviously losing global dominance for one, but probable personal protection from litigation’s another.
My thoughts are that warmongers and the highest level of Organized Crime won’t let a small detail like elections get in their way.
They’re not bluffing.
You are basing your presumption of consequences for them taking that action on a moral and just system, adhered to by all. The Marxist/globalist Democrats are past the point of no return. They are now fully committed to their path having weaponized government against their political enemies and waging undeclared war on American society. Trump could get 200 million votes and it still won’t matter. Nothing will stand in the way of their plan to destroy the US, but it will get a bit spicy when they make their ultimate play to fully disarm the citizenry.
Canada doesn’t have an army. It does have contingents of burger flippers and sandbag filling platoons.
Sorry, but knowing a few former service members, and their stories, reinforces that this country’s military is designed for other purposes, certainly not battle, and not successfully.
Cannon fodder comes to mind, what with the diversity army that currently exists.
@DanBC
Canada invests in it’s politicized Police, not the military. The focus is domestic enforcement, not foreign.
We only need to ask who would win a battle in Canada, It’s military or it’s Police – hands down the Police win.
Really, was that made a few small years ago, cause they sure love war in my last 70+ years of life.
It will not be long now, America and Canada are broken beyond repair. I have watched as both have stumbled towards their demise with the insane lust for communism. I will not call it anything else because anything else would be a lie. The people are so foolish it defies description. Tens of millions of armed Americans are unwilling to shut their border to invaders, and yes, they are invaders. They are unwilling to enforce their Constitution and remove the criminals in their governments. The system is corrupt from the top to the bottom, from the courts to the dog catcher. Canada is just as bad, most Canadians are at the trough and haven’t figured out that those who fill the trough are almost gone. The government brings in the population of city of 1 million every year without having a city to house them or industry for jobs so they can support themselves, most don’t want to work anyway when they can live off the labor of others. The insanity is beyond belief.
“A few hours later, National Security spokesperson John Kirby upped the ante, telling ABC reporter Selena Wang that not only should we be contemplating deployment of American troops, but a possible cost in American “blood” if Putin is allowed to take Ukraine and threaten other NATO countries. ”
OTHER NATO countries???
So when did Ukraine become part of NATO?
If Ukraine is part of NATO, my understanding is that the whole damn collective is already in a war!
The big joke, to me, is that if Putin, the great war monger, is bogged down in Ukraine, who the hell actually believes he can take Poland, Germany or France?
“The big joke, to me, is that if Putin, the great war monger, is bogged down in Ukraine, who the hell actually believes he can take Poland, Germany or France?”
I’ve read a lot of those types of comments myself, Thomas.
“If Putin gets away with this, he will invade ALL OF EUROPE!”
Yeah, highly unlikely. Besides, the Colon has recently informed us (for the second or third time) that Putin has “already lost”, right? So what is there to worry about, then? If he has “already lost” then he is no longer a threat to any other European nation, right? We should all be giving profuse thanks to the plucky, valiant Ukrainian army for their heroic sacrifice in defeating the mighty Russian military so decisively…they have saved the entire world from Russian domination!
