Guest Post by Pat Buchanan
Since calling Putin a killer, Biden has progressed to calling him “a war criminal,” “a murderous dictator,” “a pure thug” and “a butcher.” It is difficult to recall an American president using such a string of epithets about the leader of a nation with which we were not at war.
Several weeks into the war in Ukraine, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked President Joe Biden if he agreed with those who call Russian President Vladimir Putin “a killer.”
“I do,” said Biden.
Since calling Putin a killer, Biden has progressed to calling him “a war criminal,” “a murderous dictator,” “a pure thug” and “a butcher.”
It is difficult to recall an American president using such a string of epithets about the leader of a nation with which we were not at war.
What is Biden’s rationale? What is his purpose here?
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman, to their eternal embarrassment, called Joseph Stalin, a far greater monster than Putin, “good old Joe” and “Uncle Joe” when they sought his cooperation in World War II and the early postwar era.
Richard Nixon toasted the century’s greatest mass murderer Mao Zedong in the Great Hall of the People during his historic trip to China in 1972. His purpose: establish relations with America’s most hostile adversary — to help Nixon advance a “generation of peace.”
But when it comes to depicting Putin, who launched this invasion of Ukraine, Biden repeatedly reaches for the nastiest of insults.
But why?
“Putin deserves it,” say the champions of a Cold War II. We need more truth and candor in diplomacy. When Biden referenced Putin in the closing remarks of his address in Warsaw, Poland — “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power” — they were elated.
Biden was calling for regime change in Russia, calling for the people of Russia to administer to the “killer” and “butcher” the fate he deserves and remove him from power by any means necessary.
Within minutes of hearing their president go off-script with his call for regime change in Russia, White House aides and Cabinet officers were scrambling to assure reporters that the president of the United States did not mean what the president of the United States had just said.
Biden was expressing his “moral outrage” at the carnage Putin has unleashed on Ukraine, they said — and not making a change in U.S. policy.
For days, the president and his advisers argued over whether Biden had meant it literally when he said, “This man cannot remain in power.”
Sunday in Jerusalem, Secretary of State Antony Blinken sought to shut down the argument:
“As you know, and as you’ve heard us say repeatedly, we do not have a strategy of regime change in Russia or anywhere else, for that matter. In this case, as in any case, it’s up to the people of the country in question. It’s up to the Russian people.”
One problem with Blinken’s statement is that the U.S. has been deeply involved, both during the Cold War and afterward, in “color revolutions” to effect the overthrow of autocrats we did not like.
Indeed, when Biden characterizes America’s cause in the world as leading the global struggle between democracy and autocracy, what is the desired and predetermined fate of the autocrats we oppose, if not their forcible ouster?
In 2014, the U.S. helped finance the Maidan Revolution that ousted a democratically elected president, Viktor Yanukovych, in Kyiv. Sen. John McCain and the State Department’s Victoria Nuland had both been seen in the square cheering on the rebels.
A second problem is that Putin is many things other than the terms Biden used to describe him.
He commands the largest nuclear arsenal on earth and 10 times as many battlefield nuclear weapons as the U.S. military. He is the man we must look to if we hope to end the war in Ukraine. For Putin alone can order the Russian army to stand down or withdraw, presumably a goal of U.S. foreign policy.
If the president of the United States is the most powerful man in the world, Putin is up there alongside him, disposing of an arsenal of intercontinental ballistic missiles that could bring an end to Western civilization.
Without Putin’s cooperation, the bloodletting goes on in Ukraine.
How does it advance the goal of getting his agreement to end the war in Ukraine for the U.S. president to repeatedly call him vile names?
Already, we have paid a price.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley are finding their secure phones to their opposite numbers in the Russian government have gone silent.
Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov have not been picking up the phone.
In Moscow, there is talk of severing diplomatic relations with the United States because of Biden’s name-calling.
None of the aspiring peace-makers seeking to broker a cease-fire or truce in the Ukraine war are acting like this or using language like that.
President Emmanuel Macron of France, President Recep Erdogan of Turkey and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett of Israel have not used the kind of public language on Putin as has Biden.
We see the cost of what Biden is doing; wherein lies the benefit?

Here we go with the Q- revival. Following the title of the thread, Mike Adams issues a Q-gram claiming the deep state good guys are going to depose Biden over his reckless remarks.
“ANALYSIS: Embedded “good guys” are turning against the cabal… It’s ALL coming out… and the awakening cannot be halted.”

Biden’s insults raise Putin’s popularity at home, and the snuff videos of Ukrainians gouging out the eyes of Russian POWs are making even more Russians support the war effort.
Zelensky letting go of DPR and LPR , and giving up on aspirations of joining NATO and the EU , letting Crimea exist as per their referendum vote would go a long way towards ending this bs too. ( and get a round turn on the killings , rapes , tortures , shooting , shelling , bombing etc being put upon the peoples living in Donbas by his forces going back to at least 2014 ) . Putin’s cooperation stopping bloodshed… like Zelensky plays no role in his current situation , flock according to msm, Zelensky is on the cusp of victory , has the Russians on the run , and only needs a few more billions in cash and armament to close this deal .
I always figured Obama chose the dumbest white man he could find so nobody would want to assassinate him.
Now Bidens mentally is worse and he is President. we are so screwed. Until recently I was thinking the Russians could be another trading partner if the currency and mental midget thinking of the U.S. could be worked out.
Who Creates Identity Politics And All The Divisions At The Heart Of Humanity?
The Globalists, WEF – Klaus Barbie Schwab are so unconscious that they can do anything to keep their power, their respectability, even if it means destroying the whole world.
No creative, intelligent person seeks power.
No intelligent person is interested in dominating others.
Their first interest is to know themselves.
So the people with the highest quality of intelligence go towards mysticism, and the most mediocre go after power.
That power can be worldly, political, it can be of money, it can be of holding spiritual domination over millions of people, but the basic urge is to dominate more and more people.
This urge arises because you don’t know yourself, and you don’t want to know that you don’t know yourself.
You are so afraid of becoming aware of the ignorance that prevails in the very center of your being.
You escape from this darkness through these methods, lust for money, lust for power, lust for respectability, honor.
And the psychopath person who has darkness within is willing to do anything destructive, anything evil.
Such people are running the world.
Such people are completely asleep.
In their sleep they make plans for global domination, using nuclear weapons, biological weapons, chemical weapons not knowing what destruction they are willing to cause.
Only one thing keeps them moving, and that is: more power, more power.
And whoever comes in their way has to be destroyed.
They don’t know anything else.
They are barbarians who have not evolved into human beings.
Yes, they can destroy the whole world, they are already preparing to do so.
Good old America is in a hurry, it wants any excuse.
America wants it done quickly.
Before China and Co can destroy them!
I can see clearly that there is more possibility of the world being vaporized than being saved, because nothing is being done to save it and everything is being done to destroy it.
Because the whole world is going to suffer, the whole world should unite against all of these nuclear nations, against all of these globalists and their political minions, who are all mentally ill.
We have to force all of these criminals to stop this mad race of nuclear weapons, of warmongering, of the endless illegitimate power grabs.
But there seems to be no real protest, there seems to be no worry.
The world goes on in a routine rut.
It seems people don’t have any alertness, they don’t have any clarity about the problem.
Yet this problem is one of the most fundamental problems in the world at this moment.
Therefore the burning existential question everyone needs to ask is ‘Who am I?’
Who are you?
Can you say anything about your soul?
You can identify with something about your body, you can identify with something about your mind, but that is not of any true value.
There is no way to see from the outside who you are.
There is only one way, and that is to become alert inside, to awaken inside, to make great effort inside, so that you are not asleep there.
Then only will you have the first glimpse of the real you.
What is people’s grief?
People suffer because they have forgotten their innermost self.
Because they have forgotten their innermost presence, they have forgotten that they are one with the whole.
It is a natural rhythm.
How have they forgotten it?
They have created a false self.
They had to create it, because they don’t know their authentic self, and one cannot truly live without knowing oneself.
They don’t know who they are, and one cannot live, cannot exist, without knowing who one is.
The ideas that we gather from others give us a personality, and the knowledge that we come to know from within gives us individuality.
Personality is false, individuality is real.
Personality is a borrowed, reality – individuality is your authenticity, it can never be borrowed.
Nobody can tell you who you are.
So what to do?
In a better world, where people are more intelligent, more aware, we would learn from childhood that the idea of personality is false:
The idea of identifying with the false personality is divisive, destructive and toxic.
What is people’s misery?
Their misery is, they have created a false ego.
The sooner you find out who you are, the better.
The sooner you can drop false divisive ideas, the better, because from that very moment you will really be born afresh, and you will immediately be real, authentic.
The moment that you realize that your whole ego identity was false,
Is the moment you will become a fully conscious individual,
An awake, self knowing, beautiful and intelligent human being.
Your whole business of false identity is just a bad dream.
Your whole business of listening to, voting for, serving obediently all these criminal politicians is finished.
Remember, to remain lost in your unconscious ideas you are completely broken from seeing reality.
You are in a continuous fight with reality.
You are fighting your own roots, you are continuously fighting with your own authentic self.
Wake up!
The universe is one, it is a unity.
Nothing is divided.
Everything is connected with everything else.
It is a tremendous connected-ness.
You are connected with the earth, you are connected with the trees, you are connected with the stars, you are connected with each other.
All of humanity is connected with you, the stars are connected with you, the stars are connected with the trees, with the rivers, with the mountains.
Everything is interconnected.
What is death?
Separation is death.
So the more you think, “I am separate,” and the more you identify as transgender, gay, snowflake,, American, English, Russian, Marxist, socialist, liberal, black, brown, white, feminist, satanist, christian, atheist, the less sensitive you will be, the more dead, unconscious, NPC dull.
Your magined separation creates divisions, hatred, violence, war.
Nothing is separate; nothing can be separate.
Life is one.
Separation is not possible.
To be in unity is to be alive, to be out of unity is to be dead.
The more you feel you are connected, the more this whole existence is part of you and you are part of this whole existence.
Once you understand that we are all unique members of one humanity, then suddenly the whole vision changes.
We are in tune.
Reality is unity.
Your real center is not only your center, it is the center of the whole.
Your real center is the center of all.
At your center, the whole existence is one.
Your real self is always Here-Now.
It is life itself.
1) Joe IS in some stage of dementia. Bad language, anger, name calling, plus more —> all part and parcel of his swiss-cheese brain, at this point.

Bottom Line: Demented dumbfuks gonna do demented dumbfuk stuff.
