A close friend and pastor said to me years ago, “Test the spirits.” In today’s political and social climate, one cannot assume anything. I like to say, ‘I believe everything and nothing.’ These days, even the most outrageous finds its way to the top. Nothing is at it seems.
Before we descend into the abyss…before we put a billion people in harms way…before we begin letting nukes fly, destroying cities and millions of lives, before we forget what the conflict is all about, shouldn’t we take a step back? Shouldn’t we put aside the parades, the flag waving, the political speeches, the war lobbyists ready to take orders, the photos and videos of devastation, some taken years ago in another time, or even the videos of rockets rushing towards Ukraine cities captured from computer games that have made their way to our TV screens?
Are we being manipulated? Absolutely. In war, the answer is always YES!
What I can say with confidence is that this government and the mainstream media lie with regularity. They’re lying about climate change, the 2020 election, the January 6 ‘insurrection’...filled with FBI informants and bad actors, COVID, the science, the vaccines, the Ukraine War, and now they’re saying they can’t do anything about the price of gasoline. Why would anyone believe that they have now taken a turn towards truth?
Our country no longer has a constitutional government. Even if the 2020 election had been won legally, it has become apparent that our government is going their own way. Like Tulsi Gabbard said, it’s become a F-You government.
We’ve been hijacked. The present administration, or more accurately, the Deep State, in cooperation with the globalist elites from Davos, have been working hard to keep our nation and the world in a state of imbalance.
Preface to say, the Ukrainian people are suffering and deserve much better than what they are getting from both Russia, Ukraine’s leaders, and the West.
Putin is up against an ever creeping NATO, always with assurances it will not take their nuclear weapons and missiles any further east. Ukraine wants desperately to join the alliance. The West has never given guarantees to Putin that Ukraine will not, at some time, be invited to join NATO, always leaving the door ajar. It is interesting to note that eastern Ukraine is half the distance to Moscow as Cuba is from Washington, DC.
Putin, as any responsible leader of his country, cannot permit such a threat to exist on his borders.
Putin knows there are at least 12 bio-weapons labs in Ukraine funded by the United States. Why? Because they are illegal in the states. If you look at a map as to where these labs are and see Putin’s invasion tactics, they match.
The United States and the West have been messing with Ukraine politics for many years. The CATO Institute described Obama’s meddling as breathtaking. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the looting of Ukraine left a living standard worse now than in 1990.
Putin claimed he was fighting Ukraine partly to de-Nazify that country. Yes, Ukraine does have a Neo-# problem. The former U.S. Ambassador to Moscow, Michael McFaul, has called that claim ‘pure propaganda’. Fact is, Obama and NATO were sending arms and funding to the anti-Russian Neo-Nazis (white-supremacist Azov Battalion, a major recipient) for years. Both McCain and VP Biden even met with them to spur them on. In 2018, Trump ceased their support, calling them a ‘nationalist hate group.’
This reflects a long history of US foreign policy toward countries we do not understand, supporting heinous groups we think will serve our interests. We were a wrecking ball in Southeast Asia, Central and South America, the Middle East, Afghanistan, and now Ukraine. As many nations were left a rat’s nest, so was Ukraine, except the checks to the Biden family always arrived on time. Trump was getting us uninvolved from many of these messed up countries, but the rest is history.
As Shakespeare said, ‘The play’s the thing.’ In this play, the writers have Putin as the bad guy. His great ambition is to revive the Soviet Empire, claim back all the satellite countries in Eastern Europe, reopen the gulags, kill the millions that resist as he laughs his evil mirth. Zelenskyy is the hero, defender of his small country against the Great Bear. Of course, the United States and the European Union are defenders of democracy (it’s always about democracy) against the evil empire…unable to avoid getting involved for the sake of humanity.
