Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
I listened to Putin’s address to the Russian people, indeed, to the entire world, following his meeting with the Security Council. He expressed his sadness that negotiating with the West has taught him complete distrust of Washington, and Putin made it clear that Russia would be prepared for the war that Washington is intent to bring to Russia.
Putin said that for 8 years he had tried to bring peace to the Ukraine situation in a way that would keep the breakaway republics as part of Ukraine, but had been frustrated by Washington. Consequently, he has no alternative but to announce Russia’s recognition of the two republics, something he says should have been done years ago. He signed mutual aid treaties with both republics.
Andrei Martyanov provides in Russian and in English translation Moscow’s demand to Ukraine:
Президент подчеркнул, что Москва требует от киевских властей “незамедлительно прекратить боевые действия, <…> в противном случае, вся ответственность за возможное продолжение кровопролития будет целиком и полностью на совести правящего на территории Украины режима”.
Translation: Moscow demands from Kiev to immediately stop all hostilities, otherwise all responsibility for possible continuation of the bloodshed will be fully on the consciousness of the regime ruling in Ukraine.
Russian armed forces have been issued orders to ensure provision of peace on the territory of the Independent Republics.

Of course, this will be described by the presstitutes as a Russian invasion, and the fool in the White House will highlight US impotence by imposing sanctions.
From this time forward, provocations of Russia will become increasingly dangerous.

The stock prices for the military-industrial complex are fixin to soar, whilst my son is getting on a plane loaded with his gear. Fuck.
This. Shit.
I am so sorry…
Thank you kindly. My poor knees are going to be in tough shape from all the praying I’m going to do.
It is a model for what could happen here. I would move to Idaho, Montana, Alberta proper in a heartbeat.
If you are from one of the West Coast states, make sure you take the license plates off your vehicle before you cross the border or you might be shot as an invader. As you should be if you are a Progressive.
Big cities in ID and MT are already blue or nearly there …
Did anybody warn me that the impossibility of invasion was going to be a semantic issue?

I did too, and if anyone wants to hear it:
I listened in Russian and at 8 minutes he said you want de- communization , well we are in happy agreement with that. We will not go only half way will give you full de-communization (of Ukraine)
Putin will flush out the rats in Kiev and I applaud him for it, as the removal of those puppets of the west will mean a lasting peace and no more conflict.
It has been very clear for a long time Ukraine has been infiltrated by the worst grifters the World has known. The USA can not do much as it hold very few cards and the ones it holds are proof of involvement in repression and recycling of Ethnic hatred to cause diversion from the pillage of that poor country.
It is going to get interesting as he removes the Nationalistic Russo Phobic management in Ukraine who have in his words “have corroded all of the systems and branches of the State”. He says he knows the Criminals names and he will find them and punish them in a court of Justice.
To finish, see 27 Minutes and the Puppet masters are off the West.
It would appear the USA and some Banks have been systematically running the country into the ground while stealing any value.
Reminds me a a few current “democracies” that people apparently Voted for and are doing the same asset stripping.
So is this the “invasion” the deep state has been warning about, or did Putin pull a fast one to preclude a war? Zerohedge points out there’s been no invasion thus far and Gateway Pundit is portraying this as a smooth move by Putin, completely outflanking Biden and handlers. The idiot Germans are halting the process of approving Nord Stream 2, whatever that means (halt by a week, a month, forever?) Should be good to drive gas prices up throughout Europe, though.

Perhaps Slo Joe could be comforted by molesting a couple of children. This freak needs sent down the road. Unfortunately his replacement will just be another Soros/Obama replacement goon. Politics is not going to fix this debacle.
A month till spring..
I watched the video of Putin addressing the nation. It’s the first time I have seen and heard Putin without, the filters and theorists, slanting what he has said or meant. The video opened my mind to the strong possibility that Putin and Russia, are truly “Goldstein” in Orwell’s 1984.
Very clever way to put it and very perceptive in my view.
Yes please watch the video in full, there is a better one with captions that flows better but I cannot find it anymore on Facebook. Putin is very determined to see justice for Ukraine even if the West vilifies him.
