When is Aleksandr Vindman going to get off of MSNBC and form a volunteer mercenary battalion of deep state warriors, drawn from the "interagency"? Surely Hunter and the "Big Guy" can make it happen, all that would be required would be a small fraction of their ill gotten loot.
I read "KT McFarland urges Biden to reopen 'American energy industry' to swipe Putin's leverage, lower energy prices" But of course that is impossible, as I also read "John Kerry urges Putin to not let Ukraine invasion distract from combating climate change" Just so long as we get our priorities straight for the next war.
The article states: "U.S. and European leaders blundered in attempting to turn Ukraine into a Western stronghold on Russia’s border. Now that the consequences have been laid bare, it would be an even greater mistake to continue this misbegotten policy."
I commented on your previous article on the Ukraine: "The past/present Nazi areas all seem to be on the border with Poland, and lent credence to the late Steven Cohen, who was prescient in observing that post-Cold War NATO expansion would revive Russian nationalism."
My position on the matter is like that of TexasDude: "Sigh. I just don’t care about Ukraine. I do not want our blood or treasure spilled over there."
And my opinion is that Putin with minimum destruction and bloodshed will install a regime in the Ukraine over which he can exercise some control. The Russians do feel threatened by NATO.
John J. Mearsheimer Essay is excellent, and from 2014.
I don’t understand why the Nato expansion. For some reason with Clinton, I have a feeling money was somehow involved.
The entire spread of Democracy and so called associated values seems to employ a lot of the elite related family members, with funds from the us government. The jailing in Egypt of Democratic US ngo activists and the political pressure in the US duration family relationship was revealing.
Ukraine is a Dem piggy bank. Billions in 'aid' got skimmed into Biden and Clinton money laundering mechanisms while Soros snapped up energy resource riches via the Atlantic Council. He always seems to be close by when corruption is afoot...
I posted the Tucker link 5 hours ago, and dissonant12 the Mearshimer link.
The Tucker is unbelievable. The US Leftists he captures on video, on the hysterical need to “defend freedom” in the Ukraine, and Vinderman accusing Republicans and Tucker of being Putin stooges is hard to believe its real. It needs to be watched to be believed. The hypocrisy of what has been done to the Jan 6, what was done to Trump, the war on conservatives, rule of law, election fraud, Russian collusion is shameful.
Tucker was great! Thanks for posting it. As he so adeptly pointed out, Ukraine is really a litmus test of "our" politicians (D and R). How many of them will ever express even one iota of concern with the human costs of this war to US? Why should we then care about anything they have to say or care about voting for them?
Yep, yep, yep... Another commenter on Mark's first post about the Ukraine said "This is the end of the Pax Americana." My first thought was "what Pax? I must have missed it."
TD thanks so much for your past and current service! I can empathize with how painful it must be to see the lies and the dishonor over the years, especially knowing how much you and others you have known have given in the spirit of honor. You have done what you have done for the right reasons and no politicians and no corruption can take that from you. May God bless you and continue to give you strength for the good you do.
"...just a land grab..."? Sorry but this kind of thing from Megyn Kelly is definitely not worth my time. Nor is anyone who is going to simply make a cartoon thug out of Vladimir Putin rather than discuss him as the shrewd geopolitical actor he obviously is.
Just realized - All the Democrats in Tuckers video, Pelosia and her attack dogs, due to Trump, have zero credibility with me.
- Pelosi
- shifty - Adam Schiff
- fang fangs boyfriend - Eric Swalwell
He also included Lindsey! and poked fun at both him and Mitch. Good article, btw.
I think you mean “because” not until. Nice post.

Mark, your bottom line "mistakes will continue..." These aren't mistakes.
Yeah. My mistake. :-)
Yikes. I just watched Tucker. Vindman! AAK.
Vindman reminds me of this guy:

Curious where Vindman, Fiona Hill, et al stand on this issue? And the "Interagency"?
Watch Tucker, Vindman is on there…
The precedence for Putin's actions today: Cuban Missile Crisis! How soon all of these "PhD" journalist in geopolitical affairs forget the history.
Brings back memories of hash tag diplomacy, sigh:

The other guy agreed it was a land grab. Two ignorant people talking outta their ass, imho.
