What Will Putin Do

Biden claims “Putin will not stop after Ukraine”. HISTORY SHOWS OTHERWISE. In April 2022, he did stop — momentarily — when the Ukrainians agreed to remain neutral — momentarily. I add a crusty comment on Madeleine Albright by fmr French ambassador.

 

Macron Troops will be “Priority Target”

Russian Intel chief Naryshkin warned on March 19 that if Macron sends troops into Ukraine, they will be “priority target” for destruction. Putin, March 13: “Biden knows that US troops in Ukraine would be ‘invaders’.” Putin likely to conclude that Macron’s invaders have Biden’s OK

Biden at Odds with the Intel Threat Assessment

Oddly, Biden’s charge that Putin “will not stop at Ukraine” finds no support in this year’s “Intel Threat Assessment”. Remind Biden that exactly 2 years ago Putin DID STOP as Ukr negotiators agreed to neutrality. They now admit West torpedoed the agreement.

Giving Israel Weapons to Bomb Palestinians

Even Andrea Mitchell can’t parse the incompatibility in US policy giving Israel weapons to bomb Palestinians, then caring for the “lucky” survivors dying of starvation. Sen Schumer’s criticism of Netanyahu? Russia-hating officials blind to Ukraine reality.

Being Lied to All Over Again

I was a player 56 years ago when Pres. Johnson found Pentagon/CIA had lied thru their teeth on Vietnam. He nixed plans for a wider war and decided not to run again. Since Biden can’t grasp that he has been lied to on Ukraine, increased danger of wider war.

Humiliation vs Nuclear War

Nuclear war over Ukraine? JFK pointedly warned nuclear powers not to confront an adversary with “a choice of either humiliating retreat or nuclear war”. Biden faces that choice. Subtle hints in media that to avoid defeat US may opt for nukes, blame Russia.
