A fantastic piece by Peter Beinart on substack puts excellent clarity on the people around Joe Biden baiting Russian President Vladimir Putin to enter Ukraine. Current CIA Director William “Bill” Burns was the former ambassador to Russia and Jordan. Bill Burns had a 33-year career at the State Department under both Republican and Democratic presidents and speaks fluent Russian. If the people in the background of Joe Biden wanted an intelligence operative to trigger a specific result from Russia, there’s no one more strategically perfect for the job than CIA Director Bill Burns.

I'll be honest and admit I'm not following everything going one in Ukraine. I know Russia is trying to take them over and Ukraine is fighting like crazy to stop them. I can't help but think this is a distraction. The huge Russian army is being held back by molotov cocktails? I know the Ukrainians are desperately fighting but Russia is a powerful country and I honestly think there is more to this than meets the eye.

So Poopy-Pants started this to take heat off his terrible first year and it gives him something else to blame for inflation, an overall terrible economy and shortages. Only problem is he's messed this up too. Russia is in a quagmire almost every Ukrainian civilian is now armed, so they are not just fighting solders, they are fighting everybody. Russia will lose even if they capture the capital and kill Zelenskiy. Guerrilla warfare will eat them like the VC ate us up in Viet Nam. Don't be surprised if you start hearing about Russian soldiers deserting.

Yet CNN had to write this morning the following...
"There's little sign that the public is rallying around President Joe Biden's response to the crisis, despite the broad support for the type of sanctions his administration has put in place."
There's been no national 'rally around the president' effect. He's received no political benefit from this.

Re #1: It was Clinton's bombing of Serbia and the wave of anti western Russian nationalism it spawned in reaction that brought Putin to power in 1999.

The left is using this to strip us of more of our freedoms. The U.S. cannot afford a war. Putin got baited by the left into doing this, like Trump got baited by Fauci and the left to destroy himself by shutting down the entire economy. The left has learned how to infiltrate and destroy from within, like the FBI false organizations recruiting and leading those with right wing tendencies that are easily led by the nose.

CIA - domestic terrorist organization, enemy of the American people, enemy of Freedom, enemy of the Constitution. Hatched in illegitimacy and corruption.

Makes sense. Ukraine is the dog tail that Biden needed to be wagging to distract Americans from his dismal year in office. But Biden isn't that smart. Someone else is guiding the puppet. Could it be BHO? Whomever, they got what they desired. Except the Ukraine is the one suffering. The Ukraine should ask the Big Guy for their money back as Biden Inc. has screwed them royally.

I don't trust the CIA, but I'm not ready to buy into this multi-phase black op business. It's a little too convoluted, planned in advance, occurring on multiple continents, too many participants, Occam's Razor, etc. I put most of this debacle down to rank incompetence on the part of Biden's handlers. And I'm confident that Putin thought he could get away with it because of his hubris and because of the incompetence he witnessed in the Afghanistan exit. I can see the CIA masterminding this easier than I can see Biden's political operatives setting up the dominoes that have been falling here.

# 1, what is going on behind the scenes is Russia making backroom deals with Saudi over oil money- petro dollars. The whole evil world is trying to make THEIR GREAT RESET NEW WORLD ORDER the one that will control everyone. You have the western elites with their version of NWO and Russia and China have theirs. All of them suck for us.

#3 - I suspect that the majority of the public has seen enough in the first 12 months of Butthead at the helm that there will be no rallying around him no matter what he does. Bill Clinton, he ain't.

I will admit this makes the jigsaw pieces fit together quite nicely. The simple incompetence theory on the surface seems to be the Occam's Razor answer, but not if you accept that Biden is a puppet, a virtual cardboard cutout with the sole purpose of passing off nefarious actions as simple incompetence.

I'll tell you what triggered Putin to invade Ukraine.
Biden's exit from Afghanistan.
That's what Jack Burton says.

Excellent theory. Well written and logical but probably missing a few pieces of the puzzle; nevertheless it makes sense. Short answer is we are screwed again as usual.

The only thing that makes sense to me in this deal is that Biden goads Russian into invading Ukraine as a clean up campaign. What better way to cover up all the corruption and money laundering than to bomb the he!! out of the country, capture all the government officials that know what you did and throw them in the gulog. Sending a boatload of guns and ammo to the people who do not know how to use said equipment is of little benefit, but it looks good on paper. I hope these Ukrainians can hold out and ultimately reveal the corrupt Biden and Clinton families.

So, Putin is a great guy, but his invasion is all a CIA plot? Yeah, that's a sensible view.

Absolutely brilliant strategy. Tease and anger an off-balance Putin to the point of using nuclear weapons so your own domestic policy failures can be overlooked by the American people.
News Biden can use: We know that you are a total fkkk up and anything that happens in your administation, good or bad, is purely the result of blundering and blind luck with a lot of corruption, incompetence and leftist nonsense guiding it. FJB and the ho he rode in on.

I take issue with #12. I think he looks more like Bevis.

Yet another exhibit to never trust the prima facie narrative from the government and press. All of this reminds me of Operation ALLIED FORCE in 1999. Clinton and DoS Madeline Albright pushed the air campaign on Serbia to "save the Kosovars". Again, under the auspices of NATO. But what was concurrently going on when Clinton ordered the operation? His trial in the Senate after the House impeached him.
