This is a US war against Russia, being led by President Biden again Putin.
Biden is using Ukrainian solders, that will be killed by the hundreds of thousands and using the country of Ukraine that will be surpassing 1 trillion+ in losses to fight for the cause of allowing Ukraine to join NATO......so that the US can support yet another NATO country.
The damage to potential benefits ratio is trillions to one against the benefits, which have been 0 so far. That would make 0 sense.........except the REAL reason is that Biden wants to weaken and hurt Russia at any cost.
The illogical insanity of almost every despicable element can't sink in to most Americans because non stop propaganda has been so effective at convincing us that we must fight evil and we are the only good guys in the global arena powerful enough to do it. Complete nonsense.
The US military industrial complex is extremely powerful in controlling our politicians in bribing with lobby money.
This war would never have been possible if not for hijacking the the brain of their corrupt president, Zelensky.
Ukraine has always been listed as one of the most corrupt countries in the world, not much better than Russia.
VP Biden was able to exploit that corruption in Ukraine when he was in charge of foreign policy in Ukraine. Instead of fighting corruption, Biden used it to get his son, Hunter who had been kicked out of the military for drug use, a high paying job as a board member with a corrupt entity......in the natural gas industry. No experience necessary. Just have a powerful and corrupt daddy that has key connections in this corrupt country.
Biden, having used Ukraine's corruption as VP to get his son connected to corrupt income, was already familiar with how things work there, along with his connections. Then used Ukraine again for his current war, this time by manipulating corrupt Zelensky with promises.
While Biden was NOT in office, Zelensky won the election by a landslide, campaigning on negotiating with Russia to achieve peace in Ukraine and stopping corruption.
Zelensky appeared to be following thru with his promises, then suddenly...... like a switch was flipped in his head changed from negotiations for peace to NEVER negotiating no matter what and being for fast tracking into NATO ASAP.
Not coincidentally, this was right after Biden was elected.
No other way to explain Zelensky's sudden and complete change in his position with Russia after Biden was elected.
This is the proof of it with regards to Zelensky:
https://www.marketforum.com/forum/topic/94397/
He has betrayed his country and people for a personal agenda, after Biden's agenda got to him. The truth is that the US IS NATO. It's almost entirely supported by the US and wouldn't exist without us.
Now Biden and NATO countries prance Zelensky around as a great war hero........for killing all his people and destroying his country.
He's nothing but a pathetic puppet that sold out Ukraine so that Biden could have a war with Putin.
It's being supported in the US by the military industrial complex that's getting rich from manufacturing all the weapons going to Ukraine and the US tax payers that only hear and read the false war propaganda from our government and media.

On that score, to quote a famous American general, Ukraine may well prove to be “the wrong war at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and with the wrong enemy.” Should that occur, any hope of “building back better,” or even of preserving what we have, will evaporate.
https://www.statista.com/chart/27278/military-aid-to-ukraine-by-country/
Think about what good that money could have done at home, instead of being wasted counter productively to kill Russians/Ukrainians and destroy Ukraine because Biden wants a war to weaken Russia.
Worst of all, we should note the countries contributing small amounts to help the US war against Russia, using Ukraine. They are almost all a part of the alliance that the US owns called NATO.
there are 200 counties in the world. Where are all the NON NATO countries?
not only are many not supporting Ukraine but some are aligning strongly with Russia.
China is one of them. Their leader recently returned from meetings with Putin where he told the world that Putin was his “dear friend”. Syria and Iran are helping Russia.
Biden says this is not significant.
Now, OPEC+, in a shocking move to the West that pretends this war has nothing to do with fossil fuels and Biden’s promise to end them, just made another cut intended in part to help Russia and hurt NATO.
Biden says it not as bad as it seems.
Putin, last month made announcements that clearly mean he’s positioning for using nuclear weapons.
Biden’s response is that these are just words and saber rattling because he won’t really do it.
China flies a data/intelligence gathering balloon across our entire country that likely got key information about our communications and energy/power delivery systems that could be used to shut the United States down in a cyber war.
after allowing it to happen, we hear that somehow, we were able to protect our sensitive military operations and Cnina couldn’t have learned anything and we learned more about them by watching the balloon than they did about us……and they were serious when stating this explanation.
Then Biden shot down a couple of nothing objects, that are part of hundreds out there all the time, sending out press releases about it, pretending to be transparent with this blatantly staged, damage control act …..spending a few million dollars to show the world how great our military might really is if we want to use it.
but this was after China already got the data with a many days long track across our air space.
we are spending 100+ billion to defend Ukraine because we won’t negotiate and we can’t even defend our country against a Chinese balloon. Or our southern border against people invading.
that’s because Bidens heart and priority is in Ukraine. the corrupt country that took his disgraced son in and elevated Hunter with an important, high paying job he was not qualified for when he was at one of his many low points.
He’s obsessed with getting Ukraine into NATO, where they are legally protected by the United States to help pay them back for the favors they did for Hunter and the Biden family when he was VP.
he will stop at nothing to do it.
blow up a pipeline.
create numerous global enemies that are siding with Russia.
cause much higher energy prices and inflation, including food prices for the worlds poorest country’s that are hurt the worst and call it Putins price hike
accelerate the demise of the US dollar as the dominant global currency
kill hundreds of thousands in Ukraine
have millions leave ukraine
well over a trillion in damages…..the US to pay to rebuild based on Bidens plan.
hundreds of billions for US tax payers that can’t afford to balloon our debt further
Adding greatly to US inflation causing more interest rate hikes and the reason for our banking system to collapse.
elevated risk of a nuclear war
elevated risk of a cyber war with Russia and China.
the reason?
because Biden wants Ukraine to be part of NATO and Putin warned that he would never let that happen and would invade Ukraine to stop it.
here we are.
name 1 positive thing about this war……other than if Putin were to somehow lose, all of Ukraine gets to join NATO.
but most people in the US support the war above because of the false war propaganda describing a complete fairy tale about us being the only good guys on the planet capable of stopping the evil Putin who, like Hitler, will not be stopping after Ukraine.
There is a 0% chance that Putin will come for other countries. This is a complete fabrication designed to scare people into supporting this war.
Putin wants NATO to stay out of Ukraine and to preserve the Russian heritage in Eastern Ukraine that Zelensky, suddenly tried to legislate out before the war (by making speaking Russian in the schools and businesses there illegal and punishable by law) even though half the people there speak Russian.

In a joint statement, Emmanuel Macron and Xi Jinping also call for Ukraine’s nuclear security to be protected.
GUANGZHOU, China — France and China have reached an agreement to work together to deepen military cooperation, as President Emmanuel Macron’s trip to China draws to an end with a joint call for peace in Ukraine.
According to a joint statement issued by the governments of Macron and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, the Southern Theater of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army — chiefly responsible for the South China Sea — will “deepen the dialogue” with Asia-Pacific command of the French forces. The pledge comes amid heightened tension between U.S. and Chinese forces in the Pacific.

This is so profoundly telling.
On what planet did we ever expect CHINA to be the peace maker and the US to be the threat to global security.
Welcome to planet earth in 2023 with the Biden administration looking for fights and wars with Russia and China and selling it to Americans for political agenda.........alienating us from some of the world and destroying our credibility to much of it.
Good for you President Macron! I've just gained tremendous respect for your integrity and your desire to get ahead of serious problems instead of instigating them and causing global threats like our current leader is doing.

China to the West: Don’t tell us what to do on Russia
Back off, says Beijing’s Moscow ambassador.
https://www.politico.eu/article/china-west-dont-tell-us-what-do-russia-ukraine/
Western powers cannot tell Beijing what to do about Russia over its war in Ukraine, China’s ambassador to Russia said Friday.
“It was not the Chinese side that created the Ukrainian crisis, the [People’s Republic of China] is not a party to it and has not provided weapons to any of the parties to the conflict,” Zhang Hanhui said in an interview with Russian daily Izvestia.
“The West is not in a position to give instructions to China, and even more so does not have the authority to throw responsibility on it,” Zhang added.
In spite of being one of Moscow’s top allies, China has sought to position itself as a middleman between Russia and Ukraine, putting forward a 12-point peace plan in February.
But there have been rising concerns that China might be supplying weapons to Russia. Last month, POLITICO reported that Chinese companies, including one connected to the government in Beijing, had sent Russian entities 1,000 assault rifles, drone parts and body armor.
The Chinese ambassador’s comments come amid a much-awaited joint visit from French President Emmanuel Macron and the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to China. On Thursday, both leaders urged Chinese President Xi Jinping to step up peacemaking efforts — albeit with different methods.
Macron took a softer stance, telling Xi he “count[ed] on [him] to bring Russia back to reason,” while von der Leyen’s approach was more direct. The Commission president warned against supplying weapons to Moscow: “Arming the aggressor is a clear violation of international law — he should never be armed,” she said.
“This would indeed significantly harm the relationship between the European Union and China,” von der Leyen added.
But Xi seemed unmoved by these efforts, and stuck to Beijing’s talking points on the war in Ukraine, which closely echo the Russian position.
“Peace talks should be resumed as soon as possible, taking into account the reasonable security concerns of all sides with reference to the U.N. Charter,” the Chinese leader said.
Friday’s comments from China’s ambassador to Russia were strikingly similar.
“What the Chinese side is doing can be summed up in one phrase: calling for peace and promoting negotiations,” Zhang said.
In the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, geopolitical realities are clashing with economic interests

Kudos to France for trying to get ahead of a rapidly escalating very serious GLOBAL problem being caused by corrupt US politicians with their gladitorial posturing to their base using blatantly false political propaganda and funding from the all powerful military industrial complex that controls them.
On what planet did we ever imagine China being part of peace talks with other countries to try to get ahead of the loose cannon United States which is getting the world into WW-3 and potential nuclear and cyber wars. How about planet earth in 2023 and its not being imagined.........that's the problem. This is leaving us oblivious to the high risk of of it actually happening. At that point, we can't go back to where we are right now or to early 2022 and make the massacre in Ukraine go away. The only thing we can do is stop it ASAP.
With the Biden/Zelensky message still "we fight until we defeat Russia on the battle field" no negotiations" and Putin feeling the same way...... we aren't close to that.
There are 200 countries in this world. Besides the United States, name another one that is in a war with 1 super power and on the verge of being in a war with another one?
And with those 2 other super powers being smart enough to be on the same side against us!
Unless you are part of the military industrial complex, being at war with 2 super powers at the same time is the last thing a county would ever want. Adding China to the current catastrophic trillion to one damages to benefits war against Russia spells the potential for a rapid demise of the US from our current lofty position that MUST BE AVOIDED AT ANY COST!
The president of France sees that clearly.
What the heck is wrong with our guy/people?
Please stop believing in this retarded war propaganda!
Read this and ask yourself if all this has been worth it for Biden to hijack Zelensky's agenda and convince him to put an abrupt halt to his negotiations with Russia so the US could have a war with Russia using Ukraine and its people for his pawns.
Just because we aren't losing American soldiers is no reason to let them trick you into supporting this decimation of Ukraine. They are human being too!
Becoming part of NATO was not, is not and will never be worth even a tiny fraction of having their country destroyed and people killed and subjected to the worst imaginable conditions.
We're paying a hefty price in other ways with increasing US debt, global inflation, failing banks from higher interest rates, loss of confidence in the dollar because we used it to punish our adversaries who disagree with our politics. Causing China and the Middle East to cozy up to Russia and become more than just US adversaries.
The Cost of War to Ukraine
Janek Lasocki
24 February 2023
https://www.rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/cost-war-ukraine
US President Joe Biden said preparations were being made to ‘impose severe economic costs’, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warned of ‘severe costs’ if there was ‘any further aggression’, and Downing Street said Russia could be hit with ‘swift retributive responses’. But from the moment Russian tanks moved in from three directions early on 24 February 2022, it is Ukraine and the Ukrainians who have paid the heaviest price for Russian aggression.
In a country that was the ‘breadbasket of the world’, the World Food Programme now provides food assistance to 3 million people monthly and approximately 35% of Ukraine’s population is estimated to be suffering from insufficient foodconsumption.
Overall, an estimated 47% of Ukrainian companies have stopped operating, leading to a sharp fall in tax intake at a time when significantly more needs to be spent on defence.
An estimated 8 million Ukrainian refugees are now outside their country, and a further 5 million are internally displaced
Despite nine rounds of EU sanctions, closely coordinated with sanctions imposed by the UK, the US and other allies, in 2022 Russia suffered only a 2–3.5% drop in GDP, much less than some had predicted. In Moscow, many Western brands are off the shelves, but there are no shortages. And 12 months on, there is no indication that Russia intends to stop its aggression or to be held accountable for the inhuman and lasting damage it has inflicted on Ukraine.
++++++++++++++++++++++
The stone cold truth is that Ukraine is giving up things worth 1 trillion times more than what it's fighting for(the right to join NATO).
It couldn't be more clear in the article above. Try to connect to these real people. Try to relate to their humanity and enormous suffering.
The US propaganda machine can be extraordinarily effective and has successfully conditioned out our humanity and replaced it with hatred for Russia and believing that we are acting out of principle to keep Putin from telling Ukraine that it can't join NATO.
And absurdly, keeping Putin from marching into Poland next. Then other countries.
Here's another example of Russian propaganda:
For 2+ years, during the Mueller hoax-igation, we were told every day by the dems and MSM that the only reason that Clinton lost the 2016 election/Trump won was because of Russian interference and Trump's collusion with Russia. Every day there were stories based on that assumption. After reading thousands of stories telling us that during the first half of Trump's term, most people assumed it must be true.
Still not as bad as the Rs refusing to accept Trumps loss in 2020. At least Clinton conceded and had people that could do her dirty work for her. The Ds had operatives like Mueller and with the MSM creating the false narratives about collusion with Russia to try to discredit Trump's win.
So the report finally came out and after all that time........no collusion with Russia. But people had already assumed collusion, so it was easy for the MSM to pretend there was collusion by Trump but you just can't prosecute a president until after he leaves office.
Mueller corruption!

And the Russian attempted interference they really did find?
Of course it was there!!
Just like Russia did the same thing in 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000...........going back 70 years.
Ironically, during that same period of time it's been the United States which has been the king of attempted election interference around the world.
The D's/media wanted us to think 2016 was unique and this is what caused Clinton to lose and Trump to win. Hogwash!
Oct 28, 2020
Americans were outraged about foreign interference in the 2016 US election, and officials have sought to counter the asymmetric advantage that the Internet gives America's adversaries. But the United States will be unable to establish norms to constrain its rivals until it publicly denounces and ends the practice itself.
Americans have been understandably outraged and alarmed about foreign electoral interference. But the practice is not new; in fact, the United States was for a long time its leading exponent. As Dov Levin shows in his book, Meddling in the Ballot Box, the US and the Soviet Union (and subsequently Russia) engaged in 117 covert or overt foreign electoral interventions to help or hinder candidates or parties between 1946 and 2000, with the US accounting for 81 of these cases (or 69% of the total).
+++++++++++
Fact is that Zelensky was working on negotiating peace with Russia, as promised in his platform which helped get him elected. He seemed to be making progress in 2019/20. Then Joe Biden got elected AND INTERFERED IN UKRAINE POLITICS ,by causing Zelensky to completely abandon negotiations for peace with Russia and instead, insisting that Ukraine wanted to be fast tracked into NATO and Putin can take a hike.
Talk about interference!
Biden's interference to stop the negotiating between Zelensky/Ukraine and Putin/Russia is what caused the war!

Some folks say that the actions of the US with regards to our war with Russia, using Ukraine/trying to get Ukraine into NATO will deter China from trying to do the same thing in Taiwan.
I think its the exact opposite.
The US is expending great resources in Ukraine.
Making additional resources to aid Taiwan less available.
The US is not a magic money and weapons entity that has unlimited capacity to police every country that it designates without having an increasing burden to itself.
The greater the burden, the weaker and more vulnerable we are.
And people in our country, like with every other war since WW-2 will tire of having our resources drawn down at tax payers expense, tremendous damage in
+++++++++++++++++
Appears that somebody was just exposing false war propaganda from the West that paints an unrealistic picture of Ukraine winning the war while greatly downplaying the reality that this is a war of attrition IN UKRAINE.
The country of Ukraine is being decimated for Biden's war against Putin/Russia. The entire planet is suffering, especially the world's poor that have to pay higher prices for food/energy but the war is IN UKRAINE.
Russia is expending and losing resources/soldiers lives IN UKRAINE but there isn't widespread structural damage inside Russia and its citizens are not being killed and its people are not having to flee by the many millions.
The West has been fighting to have Ukraine be part of NATO, refusing to negotiate for anything less. Putin demands that Ukraine can't be part of NATO and refuses to negotiate for anything less.
And here we are.

"One of Zelensky's two main promises was to bring the war to an end, a goal that polls have shown Ukrainians want to see accomplished more than anything."

Since Biden was elected and caused Zelensky to stop negotiating with Russia, which is what intentionally caused the war, how many Ukrainians are better off?

I would contend that 36+ million are MUCH worse off and only 1 that is MUCH, MUCH better off.
President Zelensky. Our hero for killing his people and obliterating his country!

The Demography of War: Ukraine vs. Russia
https://ifstudies.org/blog/the-demography-of-war-ukraine-vs-russia
Ukraine cannot win this war without NATO, mainly the US sending troops.
Doing this, would immediately turn Americans sour on the war because the convincing propaganda we get makes it seem like the Ukrainians are all super heros.......not human beings, like us that have families and property and lives...fighting against evil Russia out of principle......not caring a bit about losing everything they and their country ever had.
According to the war propaganda being effectively sold to us, being part of NATO is much more important to them than all those things that us mere mortals cherish in our lives.
Losing US soldiers in the battle would cause OUR HUMANITY TO WAKE UP in objectively evaluating what this war is (not) accomplishing!
And we would turn against the war.
Take that propaganda AWAY, shielding us from realities of critical thinking..........and suddenly.....OMG look at the horrible atrocity being imposed on these poor people because Putin, Biden and Zelensky want to fight a war over NATO membership with almost no value placed on human lives to get what they want!
In our country, the main benefactor has been the military industrial complex.
Similar thing going on in Europe
https://euobserver.com/opinion/156518
+++++++++++++++++
Authors in articles like this often state "but there is no choice"
Before Biden took office and immediately twisted Zelensky's priorities, he was actually negotiating for peace as documented above.
Of course that choice has always been there...........negotiating for peace.
But war propaganda is extraordinarily convincing and effective when all the news sources in our country repeat the same thing.
When both parties take large amount of legal bribes from the military industrial complex.

Just keep believing the false war propaganda as the trillion to 1 damages to potential, theoretical benefits continue to get worse for Ukraine, for the US for the entire world. Having a war with evil Russia.........and now the Middle East and soon to be China....... instead agreeing that Ukraine will not be part of NATO.
A separate technical problem, since fixed, had been causing the munitions to fail.
The news adds to an increasingly bleak picture of the state of Ukraine’s military that has emerged from a trove of top secret intelligence documents that leaked on social media and came to light over the past week. The documents show that Washington has grave concerns about Kyiv’s dwindling ammunition and air defenses, which could cause it to fall short of its goals for the anticipated spring counteroffensive.
++++++++++++++++++
And while support for funding Ukraine continues to have bipartisan support, news that US officials are often in the dark could raise questions over the sheer amount of resources that the White House continues to send to Eastern Europe.
+++++++++++++++++++
After reading this AUTHENTIC stuff and ignoring the false war propaganda, anyone with objective brain cells can see that this is clearly a BIDEN/US war against Russia, USING Ukraine, their leader and their people for the battlefield.
The massive leak in documents is giving US citizens their first REAL glimpse of some realities in Ukraine that have been constantly hidden with the false war propaganda used by the cheerleading war charlatans to bamboozle Americans into supporting this diabolical war.
Similar to the war in Iraq, that was exposed and resulted in Americans opposing it and regretting every supporting it.........a similar dynamic has begun with Ukraine. The leaks triggering a rude awakening........which is what they were intended to do.
Expose the truth. Enlighten the world.
Much of the information in those documents makes the US looks pretty bad. It appears to be authentic. It completely contradicts much of the false war propaganda. If the MSM hadn't already picked the wrong side, we would see them stop trying to do damage control and go full steam ahead with .........THE TRUTH!
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/mar/18/middle-east-ukraine-washington-iraq-kyiv
Only when the media flips and stops promoting the war to defeat Putin, will Americans( who get their news fixes from them in order to know what to think) change their tune. When the war becomes more unpopular with Americans, as they learn the truth, politicians that care little about ethics and everything about getting votes and funding will also change their tune.
FBI agents took Teixeira into custody earlier Thursday afternoon “without incident,” Attorney General Merrick Garland announced in brief remarks at the Department of Justice, which has been conducting a criminal investigation into the matter
One recent revelation, for example, involved an analysis in February of how Israel might begin providing lethal aid to Ukraine.
Some experts view the leaks as less a game changer on the battlefields of Ukraine and more an intelligence and diplomatic crisis for U.S. officials.
Previous propagada earlier this week:
+++++++++++++
Translation: We're the only authority with the power of God to decide the fate of tens of millions, deaths to hundreds of thousands for our political agenda. Anybody that tries to stop us from doing this that risks additional deaths that we don't authorize in order to try to stop ALL the deaths that we are causing.........is very serious risk.
Right, risk of people finding out the truth about this horrific war being fought over whether Ukraine can be a NATO member or not and refusal of Biden(controlling Zelensky) to negotiate with Russia.
Shortly after Biden became president, Zelensky very abruptly stopped all his negotiating for peace with Russia, which held promise for peace and suddenly like somebody flipped a switch in his head.... insisted Ukraine be part of NATO....no more negotiations.
Putin threatened to invade, Zelensky insisted. No more negotiations. Ukraine will be part of NATO.
Defeating Putin on the battlefield from the get go has been Biden's position. The war has been mostly funded with US money and weapons, all from the military industrial complex controlling Washington.
There is no outcome at this point that could be worth even 1% of the cost of this war. Not just monetary costs that includes many trillions to global consumers of food and energy from supply side induces inflation. Who will pay the 1 trillion to rebuild Ukraine? The hundreds of thousands of dead can't be resurrected. The serious damage to the reputation of the US and the accelerated interest by numerous countries to replace the US dollar for transactions because we use it to punish our political adversaries and no other country would ever have the arrogance/audacity to do such a thing.
Increasing our adversaries and enemies, decreasing our credibility.
Note that the false war propaganda never discusses those authentic truths.
Continued escalation keeps increasing the chance of nuclear war.
But don't worry. Biden says that Putin is just saber rattling he would never do it. Sure, a mad man who invades another country and does what he did to Ukraine because he won't let Ukraine join NATO and will win at any cost and has had his reputation obliterated and considered a war criminal that should be arrested if he leaves Russia...... can be counted on to make decisions using nuclear weapons that take into consideration the damage they might do to innocent people and his country.
Competition with China and containment of Russia were the subtext of the president’s call for action. But casting the struggle as “democracy versus autocracy” oversimplifies what lies ahead.

How ironic, China is trying to broker peace in a US war with Russia, using Ukraine as the battlefield and Ukrainians as the soldiers and puppet Zelensky as their leader.
most of the world is getting more and more impatient for this war to end because it’s hurting everybody on the planet And not accomplishing a thing.
started initially for Ukraine to join NATO and be protected by the US or not to join NATO if your’e Putin.
escalating since then to higher and higher stakes. France sees it. Brazil sees it. India sees it. China sees it. The Middle East sees it. Most of the world sees it.

Our world is defined by manufactured realities, Jean.
CO2, the building block for life and beneficial gas which is massively greening up the planet and increasing food production. With the best weather/climate for life in 1,000 years (similar to the last time is was this warm-Medievel Warm Period-but not as warm as the Holocene Climate Optimum 6,000 years ago)….is a toxic pollutant killing the planet.
Ironically, their anti green, anti environmental solution benefiting crony capitalism, political agenda and corrupted science is actually the one wrecking the planet!!
In Ukraine, the guy who was elected president based on a promise to stop corruption and negotiate for peace with Russia….and was doing That as promised from the get go….suddenly goes completely rogue and corrupt, shortly after Biden takes office(the man who pulled the strings to exploit Ukrainian corruption for his family when he was VP(instead of fixing it).
suddenly, Zelensky shuts down negotiations and insists that Ukraine wants to be part of NATO ….ASAP so that it can be protected by the United States…….no matter what the consequences and Putin can shove it. He has the great USA and President Biden on his side.
the horrible war that has resulted from Putins provoked by totally unjustified war has killed hundreds of thousands, 8 million displaced and left Ukraine in ruins with Zelensky insisting he will never negotiate as long as Putin is president……as his country continues to be obliterated.
This is our man of the year in 2022. How about “puppet of the decade” and Biden should get much of the credit because he’s pulling the strings again like he did exploiting Ukrainian corruption as VP.
i seriously would have voted for Zelensky as man of the year for doing The polar opposite of this ….negotiating for peace before 2021.
the results speak for themselves. at the end of 2022, we’re Ukrainians better or worse off than they were before 2022 Under the leadership and directions of Times man of the year?
Zelensky was man of the year for NATO, the West and for the US and Biden by offering up his country and people for their political agenda to destroy Putin.
However, as president of UKRAINE, the role he was obligated to uphold because of the trust people put in him with their votes for peace…..Zelensky goes down as one of the greatest traitors of all time in world history….. betraying his people to the max for his self serving objectives.
now known as a great hero to the world as defined by the NATO countries who are bestowing accolades and showering him praise for hosting their war.
while every single Ukrainian is much worse off(the world is worse off) but The goal has been accomplished by NATO.
Russia is worse off and weakened. Putin is a war criminal And the military industrial complex made billions.
that’s what this was all about.
+++++
both those accurate descriptions of the realities above can’t be processed by most peoples brains that have been programmed by extremely effective propaganda and convincing sounding disinformation to define the truth as the complete opposite.
they believe with religious Faith and nothing can change their minds.
once we learn something, our brains process all new information differently. If the new information confirms what our brains just learned, it gets stored as knowledge to help reinforce what we think that we know.
if it contradicts what we think that we know…..it’s rejected. Even if its an authentic truth with powerful and crystal clear evidence, it gets rejected if our brain is convinced of something else.
Person of the year, Biden's puppet:

The Russian army operating in Ukraine today is larger than when the Kremlin launched its invasion in February 2022, but remains vulnerable to a Kyiv counteroffensive expected in the coming weeks, NATO’s top commander told the House and Senate armed services committees this week.
“This war is far from over,” Army Gen. Christopher Cavoli told the House panel on Wednesday. On Thursday, he added to the Senate, “I think [the Russians] can fight another year.”
But in testimony to both panels, he said the United States and allies already have provided the Ukrainians 98 percent of the artillery,
Cavoli added that NATO has “been successful so far” in not escalating the war. “We’ve managed to control every situation so far.”

Control is the opposite word that I would use considering that Ukraine has been obliterated , the entire world suffering consequences, many getting increasingly upset with the role of the US as we lose support from allies and increase opposition from adversaries.

“This proves once again that we can stop terror and save people with weapons. Air defense, modern aircraft, without which there is no fully effective air defense,” he pressed. Zelenskyy also called for artillery and armored vehicles.

Weapons of war save people's lives???? Only in the world of war propaganda!
250,000+ dead people, killed by WEAPONS says otherwise.
In the REAL world, PEACE is what saves lives!
Very profound but lengthy discussion.
Making multiple solid points about the irrational, counterproductive, corrupt dynamics of the US war in Ukraine.

Most Americans have completely lost the ability to think for themselves about many issues, including this one. They let their favorite sources tell them what to think......even smart people do it!
There is no question that this has been the case for numerous years now. The grip that information gatekeepers have on our brains is tightening.
We are living in a world that mimics the story line in George Orwell's book, 1984!

Artificial Intelligence is just exploiting this dynamic even more.

It appears to be impossible to reverse because the trend, every single year over the past 10 years shows its accelerating in the WRONG direction.

This is serious: It's making me truly appreciate and cherish the ability to do objective analysis to see things from both sides and use clear thinking discernment that most people are no longer capable of in 2023.
It's absolutely tied to the magnification of the amount of information that can potentially reach people brains in 2023, compared to 1993, being many trillions of times greater.
It's the biggest real crisis of our times and being used to manipulate how most people think.
And the way that it works so effectively is that everybody knows this.............about the people that they disagree with. While the exact same thing is happening to them from their side.

Your true friends tell you the truth and expect nothing in return.
https://www.marketforum.com/forum/topic/77011/#89534
Neither political party has a franchise on the truth.
If you believe one party all the time......................you will believe in lies some of the time.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Addition:
"The trick is being able to tell the difference between the truth and the lies, then picking the truth from BOTH parties and rejecting their lies.
What makes that incredibly difficult to do is that the stronger your affiliation to a party is, the more blindly you embrace all the tenets of their belief system!
"The brain cannot recognize the authentic truth when that person's truth has been defined as the complete opposite!"

War propaganda starting to wear thin.
They should have asked these questions:
1. How many dead Ukrainians are acceptable?
2. How many hundreds of millions in damages to Ukraine, that will need additional US funding to rebuild are acceptable?
3. How many millions of displaced Ukrainians are acceptable?
Those that want to stay the course would have to respond UNLIMITED to those 3 questions unless they didn't understand what it truly means........which is most of them because the war propaganda is selling an ideological principle at the expense of real human beings.
The right to be alive is 1 trillion times more valuable than the right to join NATO or the importance of weakening/defeating Putin.
Did Ukraine just win the war?

Russia’s former President Dmitry Medvedev said the war in Ukraine is likely to last decades with bouts of fighting and truces.
Who to believe.
Answer: If you're almost everybody, just believe the source and information that you want to be true. These sources know that the gatekeepers controlling messages know that and that's why they're so succsessful at convincing people that their manufactured versions are true. It's called propaganda or DISinformation.
