US President Biden claims Russian troops continue “encircling Ukraine” even as Moscow says they are withdrawing.
The Russian soldiers were never there for the purpose of invading Ukraine. They were in Belarus as part of a training exercise akin to the ones NATO continually conducts on Russia’s borders. The Troops in Ukraine were there to intercede if Ukraine invaded the Donbass republics.
The accusation of a Russian invasion was an obvious lie from the beginning. The purpose of the lie was to scare Europeans about Russia in order to keep them on the US reservation.
Biden claims there is no evidence of troop departure, and the presstitutes claim the Russians are not departing but repositioning for an attack. https://www.rt.com/russia/549485-biden-ukraine-russia-troop-withdrawal/
Western governments and presstitutes are now firm believers of their own lies. The London Times’ defense editor Larisa Brown cites an “unnamed official” who allegedly claims: “We have seen reinforcement of combat and other capabilities close to the border. On balance what we have seen is further reinforcement.”
This from the BBC presstitutes: “A small but politically vocal portion of the American electorate that admires Vladimir Putin’s muscular policies is seeking to undermine US President Joe Biden’s efforts to stand up to the Russian president.” It is Russia encircling Ukraine, not the US encircling Russia. It is the US standing up to Russia, not Russia standing up to the US. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-60297302
The British Financial Times reports that “Western intelligence” (an oxymoron) has concluded that the Russians have chosen a former Ukrainian member of parliament, Oleg Tsaryov, to be installed as Ukraine’s president following the Russian invasion. https://www.rt.com/russia/549419-us-ukraine-coup-plot-theory/
The less evidence there is of an invasion, the more we are told it is about to happen. The latest from the British press is that according to US intelligence (an oxymoron) in the early hours of Wednesday morning Russia will invade with 200,000 soldiers after a massive missile blitz. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/17655287/russia-set-invade-ukraine-tomorrow/ When Americans arise at 7AM Wednesday, it will be afternoon there. Have a look to see if Ukraine is still there.
My conclusion is that the West will declare there has been an invasion when there hasn’t, and the presstitutes will turn the lie into the truth.
How else are Biden, the Western governments, and the presstitute media going to avoid looking like total fools, victims of their own propaganda?
Putin is taking a somewhat similar risk by holding on to his belief in the Minsk Agreement, when Ukraine, by far the weaker party, demands that the issue with Russia, by far the stronger party, be settled on Ukraine’s terms.
Will this latest excuse for Ukrainian non-compliance with the Minsk Agreement result in the Kremlin finally seeing the futility of this approach? https://www.rt.com/russia/549412-ukraine-refuses-donbass-deal/
The United States has been in totally incompetent hands since the ascension of the Clinton regime. The practice of US manufacturers of offshoring the production of the goods and services that they sell in the US has exploded the annual trade deficit of the US to one trillion dollars. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenroberts/2021/08/06/yikes-for-the-first-time-here-comes-a-1-trillion-us-trade-deficit/?sh=516582d274c4 When I was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, the US had a trade deficit only in energy and it was covered by surpluses elsewhere. https://www.rt.com/news/549401-us-sanctions-china-not-worked/
A country that gives its own jobs to foreigners turns domestic production into imports, an act of extreme idiocy.
Washington has now matched this act of idiocy with another–making an enemy out of Russia

If you gotta be bad then be the best bad you can be. Be number 1 bad. We are the best at being the worst.
We don’t have a “media”.
We have a vast army of eager obedient bootlicking lapdog propagandists for socialism.
They are truly Vrag Naroda. Enemies Of The People.
Dear Paul Ole buddy, please fire your ghost writers. They are embarrassing the heck out of you.
They are neither dumb nor incompetent. They are reading their lines perfectly and their handlers are Satanically empowered liars and grifters bordering on genius.
Agree 100%. It only looks incompetent when you look in from the outside and with the perspective that the government is working for the electorate.
Whe you realize they are working for a higher parasite then you see their behavior is a feature not a flaw.
I also disagree that the press is stupid. When you look at the way they take complete lies and utter BS and spin that balderdash together to convince a large section of the public everyday for years, takes some doing.
Let’s go Brandon

The title of the article mentions two sad things. A third sad thing is that there is a sizable number of “useful idiot” Americans believing the MSPropaganda, supporting the incompetent, and ignorantly bringing about their own slavery. (See: History)
Let’s face it, we have an illegitimate government, and it’s going downhill fast. Durham needs to hurry it up, otherwise we won’t have a country left.
Durham is going to save us?
By early 2041 he should have some charges almost nearly ready to go.
But, by then, nobody will remember how to care. We will own nothing, have no rights and be delighted to be let out into the sunlight for a few minutes.
All true but you know.
DURHAM ‘!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By all Measures the US Has the World’s Most CORRUPT Government and the most CORRUPT Media.

Yes.
Nothing less to be expected.

When I try to talk about the origins and secret destiny of this country, it is rec'd with the same glaze-eyed stare as when you mention DEWs or geo-engineering or WMDs in Iraq. The Sunday pew warmers are the most glaze-eyed of all…….
What would you expect from a country whose major exports are faggotry and pride parades.
They also have perfect pronoun etiquette, and hold the world record for the most number of genders in the world.
I disagree with the headline, the US Govt isn’t in the least ‘incompetent’- that implies they’re trying and failing… but they’re not trying!! (If trying is making the best decisions for America.)
The US Govt is only ‘incompetent’ at their own moronic plans. They are incompetent at thinking they could destroy the human spirit with a chaos of lies and and destruction as if millions of very smart people weren’t going to notice before they finished.
We have a government filled with parasitic assholes with an unbelievable ability to maintain staying power regardless of how disgustingly self serving and dishonorable they are ! Duty Honor Integrity are sound bytes to these pathetic individuals !
As for the press LMAO at the pathetic display as every network has the identical tag line or catch phrase produced from their money masters all regurgitated in perfect harmony all claiming to be fair and balanced among each other because most are generally opinionated shit talkers of leftist agenda driven lies !
Oh as for Ukraine WTF do we care about their border trouble when we have 30 million illegally wondering about in our country and this administration is on track to play catch and release for over 2 million more and they get expense cards and arrest warrant paper that is accepted as ID .
We are watching a band of fools destroy us as a republic
Couldn’t agree more and an upvote for regurgitated in perfect harmony.
Well, appears that S is about to HTF in Ukraine. Ukraine military apparently lighting up Donbas – so Vlad is taking out military support facilities on the outskirts of Kiev. Brandon doesn’t know whether to shit or go blind. I think he miscalculated Vlad and got him mixed up with Saddam Hussein. Obviously, Vlad has no interest in being the next target for regime change. Neither did Kennedy in 1962 when he felt the security of the USA was under threat. When you start poking at a big bear with a stick – things can turn pretty ugly real fast. It’s quite apparent that Vlad couldn’t give a flying ruck about Brandon’s sanctions. He’s calling Brandon out. Will Brandon show up? Nah. He’s been defined by his incompetence w/ Afghanistan. Get ready for $8-$10 gal gas. I pray we’re not going to see incoming hypersonic nukes. Can’t wait to watch the VP diversity hire wag her finger at Vlad on CNN tomorrow.
Denazification …………………… gets my vote for word of the day.
She might call him a racist homophobic misogynistic far right climate change denying Trump enabler. Then threaten to cancel him.
I mean that would surely show that bold old Putin who’s boss.
Our delegate at the UN Security Council spoke at the emergency meeting just a bit ago… speaking of diversity, is that a he or she?
Oops and duh. What are the odds that Russia and/or China dump all or part of their Treasury holdings? High gas and oil prices, plus trade between the two counties will make it easier.
Russians been at it for a while. I don’t think they have much left.
All beasts, they hunger, and eat, and die,
and so do we, and the world ‘s a sty.
So hush, fellow swine, why nuzzle and cry?
Swinehood hath no remedy.

Duh, gotta be a genius to figure this one out.
Throw in the incontinence of fDA, cDc and fBi and you have a bonus trifecta.
Been laughing hysterically about this “domestic situation” for a while not, only it ain’t funny it is a comic tragedy.
