https://www.newsweek.com/biden-says-sanctions-werent-meant-deter-putin-invading-ukraine-1691590 This Newsweek article has several conflicting quotes all coming from the Biden administration. White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said "the president believes that sanctions are intended to deter" and Secretary of State Antony Blinken said they were attempting to “prevent” a war all in early February. However in March Biden would confirm sanctions were never meant to deter.   Direct Quotes: "Sanctions never deter," Biden said during a Thursday press conference at a NATO summit in Brussels, Belgium. "The maintenance of sanctions, increasing the pain and the demonstration [is] why I asked for this NATO meeting today, is to be sure that after a month, we will sustain what we're doing, not just next month, the following month, but for the remainder of this entire year." Weeks before Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine, White House National S...

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/biden-twitter-ukraine-russia-putin-b2020133.html   Oh Mr. Putin better watch out for big bad Biden! He’ll huff and he’ll puff and go “toe-to-toe” with you! On Feb, 21 st 2020 Joe Biden stated “Vladimir Putin doesn’t want me to be president. He doesn’t want me to be our nominee”. That’s interesting because the majority of the world’s aggressive leaders and countries seemed to cool off for roughly 4 years. Then in January of 2021 tensions seemed to rise all over the global, Afghanistan, Russia and China to name a few. Venezuela, North Korea and Iran have even made a few headlines again. Direct Quotes: While campaigning for the Democratic nomination for president in February 2020, then-candidate Joe Biden said he was the only candidate among the contenders “who’s ever gone toe-to-toe” with Russian president Vladimir Putin. “Vladimir Putin doesn’t want me to be president. He doesn’t want me to be our nominee,” Mr Biden said...

  https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/25/business/list-global-sanctions-russia-ukraine-war-intl-hnk/index.html We know Russia invaded Ukraine on 02/24, four days prior to this article. One of the major sanctions was taking president Trump’s advice and halting certification of Nord Stream 2. According to this article Germany appears to be the only country to impose sanctions on energy. Switzerland and Japan appear to be the only countries to sanction Putin directly. Direct Quotes: The United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and Canada banned certain Russian banks from SWIFT on Saturday, the high security network that facilitates payments among 11,000 financial institutions in 200 countries. Earlier in the week, Germany halted certification of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline following Moscow's actions. Russia is already paying a price for its aggression. The country's stocks and currency tanked last week after Putin's ordered troops into eastern Ukraine. Russia's stock...

  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10596695/Trump-claims-sent-Angela-Merkel-white-flag-surrendering-Russia-oking-Nord-Stream-2.html I very rarely post articles from conservative leaning media sources ( I think this is the second one). However this story is fascinating. For the sake of arguing with a Liberal Larry or Linda for all eternity about whether the white flag incident did or didn’t happen, let’s agree that no left leaning media source has confirmed it. HOWEVER, we all have to admit Trump and Romney were much more accurate in their perception and foreign policy with Russia then, Obama, Biden, Germany and most NATO countries. Yet Trump’s and Romney’s comments were mocked and deemed “provocative” by CNN at the time. Direct Quotes: Donald Trump claimed on Wednesday that he send former German Chancellor Angela Merkel a white flag as a 'gift' when she made a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline. that Merkel 'surrende...

https://www.theweek.in/news/world/2021/09/06/taliban-invite-turkey-china-russia-iran-pakistan-and-qatar-for-govt-formation-event.html   We may want to question the reasoning behind some foreign government’s desire to meet with the all men, non-inclusive leaders of the Taliban. Russia was one of the first countries to speak positively about the new Taliban government. Even Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of Russia’s RT broadcaster tweeted “It’s as if [they were] fighting a snail for 20 years using a tank, and losing to this snail in the end, and then barely getting away on the tank,”. With an America first mindset you need to keep an eye out for hostile actors on the world stage.   Direct Quotes: The Taliban on Monday gave an early glimpse of its foreign policy and geopolitical alignment as it invited Russia, China, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and Qatar to attend an event on its looming government formation. Russia was one of the first countries to take a positive stance on the T...

  https://edition.cnn.com/2022/02/24/politics/joe-biden-ukraine-russia-sanctions/index.html It is interesting that Biden did not initially sanction Putin. While hurting the Russian economy may eventually affect Putin, wouldn’t directly sanctioning him have a more immediate impact? If you blame him solely for the attack on Ukraine and call it his “choice”, wouldn’t you want to affect him instantly, directly? This article points out how Biden was “mindful” that the new sections would have on energy prices. Biden also promised to “limit the pain the American people are feeling at the gas pump”. How can be continuously blame higher prices on Putin? Biden also inferred that he has not underestimated Putin and knows “He wants to, in fact, reestablish he former Soviet Union”. Wouldn’t that include The Baltics, Latvia and Lithuania? Wouldn’t that enact Article 5 of NATO? Shouldn’t we want to prevent that? Instead of saying, welp Putin is going to do what Putin is going to do, can’t we say ...

https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/02/europe/russia-troops-ukraine-buildup-satellite-images-intl/index.html It might me time to reconsider what we see as an act of war. Maybe we should learn from Germany’s troop buildup prior to WWII and Russia’s buildup prior to them invading Ukraine. Hopefully we can all find common ground that we should attempt to avoid all wars and all loss of human life. However, allowing a country to not only build up troops but also allowing them to have the element of surprise, by knowing the date and time they will initiate an attack, gives an unfair advantage to the unprovoked aggressor. I don’t know what that exact moment looks like or what straw should breaks the camel’s back. However, allowing a large, militarily advanced country, to build up thousands of troops and military equipment over the course of 5 months might be considered an act of war. What about bringing blood and other medical supplies to the buildup, what about emptying their embassy in a country th...

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/02/24/europe/ukraine-russia-attack-timeline-intl/index.html   In my next show I would like to discuss the Russia, Ukraine conflict and will be using this CNN timeline as a base for events. Putin announces “operation” on Thursday February 24 th at 04:50am (EET). Unfortunately Putin would make threats during this speech I would appear to scare the Biden administration and the United States European allies. Direct Quotes: 4:50 a.m.: Russian President Vladimir Putin made a speech, saying he had decided "to conduct a special military operation ... to protect people who have been subjected to abuse and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years," repeating a baseless claim about Ukraine's Russian-separatist-backed Donbas region. He went on to warn: "Whoever tries to interfere with us, and even more so, to create threats for our country, for our people should know that Russia's response will be immediate and will lead you to such consequen...

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/iran-china-russia-make-pr-hay-u-s-afghanistan-withdrawal-n1278697 If you have any family or friends overseas please beg them to come back! The way we exited Afghanistan was an entirely avoidable debacle. Why would any other country trust us, let alone take us seriously? I completely agree we can’t be in a state of endless wars but this was not the way to end it and we have to make sure every American gets home. The world’s hostile actors and America’s “rivals” took notes on our horrendous exit. Russia compared us to losing to a snail & China immediately stepped up to provide emergency aid, including food and Covid-19 vaccines to Afghans. A non-inclusive Taliban government should not be the main concern for NBC. It would be nice for them to show how these minorities were treated by the Taliban in the past and how they will be treated now. People should also be concerned that the Taliban in the past created a safe haven and shielded radical terroris...
