There is a remarkable amount of saber-rattling in Washington, DC and in the mainstream media about defending Ukraine from an “imminent” Russian invasion. This is crazy talk and is intended to divert attention from the collapsing Presidency of Joe “Dementia” Biden.
The U.S. media, for the most part, is obfuscating and misrepresenting what is going on in Ukraine and along Russia’s borders. If you look at a map of Eastern Europe you will see that the following countries border Russia–Estonia, Latvia, Belarus and Ukraine. The United States European Command and/or NATO have conducted at least 9 military exercises in countries that border Russia that are designed to respond to a Russian military operation.
Can you imagine the outrage that would sweep across the United States if Russia’s Army or Navy conducted a military exercise on our border with Cuba, Mexico or Canada? Yet we expect the Russians to ignore our provocations on their borders and then we shriek with faux outrage when Putin and his Generals protest our show of military force on their frontier. The United States has not been invaded by a foreign army since the War of 1812.
Russia, by contrast, still bears the searing scars of being invaded by the Nazis in World War II. Their legitimate worry about a new invasion from the West is not a mere conspiracy theory. Compounding the Russian’s concern is that the United States and its allies have aligned themselves with the grandsons and granddaughters of the Ukrainians who joined up with the Nazis and fought along the Germans against Russia.
In fact, many of the Ukrainians we are backing still celebrate their NAZI heritage
What really sticks in my craw is the fact that the United States is holding more political prisoners in prison hell holes in America than Russia.
There was a time when we, as a country, had the moral authority to condemn human rights violations in Russia. No longer. Biden and his crew, with the help of some vocal Republicans, have locked up and prosecuted hundreds of American citizens for the simple act of walking into the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. We have more U.S. citizens imprisoned in the American Gulag than there are Russians in the actual Gulag.
And now Biden wants your sons and daughters to risk their lives fighting in Ukraine while his son remains unpunished for his Burisma grift. No thanks.
