America’s infatuation with Ukraine and Zelensky (the Cocaine Comedian) is starting to wane, but most politicians and the public continue to believe the lie that Ukraine is an innocent country being bludgeoned by a communist Russia ruled by a dictator. Oh yeah. Don’t forget. Russia is suffering massive military and economic losses and just can’t live without U.S. investment and Europe’s technology. It is all nonsense, but if you are living in the United States and try to have a reasoned discussion with the fan boys and girls cheering for Ukraine, you would find more success talking to a brick wall.
But cracks are starting to show. One of my brilliant readers sent me the link to Michael Brendan Dougherty‘s latest in the National Review (a conservative icon in the magazine world), What Have We Bargained for in Ukraine? I encourage you to read the entire piece. More importantly, read the comments. That will give you some insight into the insanity that still reigns with regards to sending billions of dollars in money and materiel to Ukraine.
Here are the salient portions of the piece:
My friend and colleague Matthew Continetti writes that “securing America’s position and freedom’s future without direct intervention and for a rounding error in the federal budget is a strategic bargain. Ukraine needs more, not less, U.S. aid, and it needs it now.” In Commentary in November, Noah Rothman wrote that “Kyiv’s victories are our victories, too, insofar as they advance a core American national interest: preserving the stable European covenant that has blessed Western powers with the longest, most durable peace on the Continent in the modern age.”
This view holds that for pennies on the dollar, the U.S. has been able to preserve a democracy threatened by an authoritarian regime, cripple a rival military, strengthen the NATO alliance, prevent Vladimir Putin from an inevitable invasion of NATO territory, and scare off Xi Jinping from ever messing with Taiwan. . . .
Except, none of this is quite true. Crippling a rival military is only worthwhile when you have a strategic reason for doing so, and we conspicuously lack one. The NATO alliance’s duties have been radically expanded with no radical expansion in the share of the alliance’s burdens shouldered by Europe. Ukraine’s ultra-nationalist project is at odds with the democratic and liberal-internationalist values that are used to sell the conflict abroad. The conflict’s financial and moral costs to the U.S. have been growing for nearly a decade, and taking on Ukraine as a permanent dependent will grow them even more. The arc of the conflict is just as likely to encourage as to discourage Xi in his pursuit of Taiwan, given the ways in which our enmeshment in Europe will deplete our attention, resources, and will to be the world’s cop. And finally, no conflict in this blood-stained area of the globe is a mom-and-pop bingo game in which you can cash out your modest investments at any time; Vladimir Putin and Russia have a say in how this ends.
There you have it. A prominent conservative writer who was a strong supporter of Ukraine (and still insists that Putin is some sort of Darth Vader who enjoys borscht) is conceding that America’s strategy is based on a lie.
Over at Neo-Con central — i.e., the Institute for the Study of War — the stenographers masquerading as analysts grudgingly concede that Russia captured Soledar, but then proceeds to focus on their own fantastical speculation that there is political strife in Russia surrounding the Wagner Group’s success in the battle for Soledar. They write nothing about the strategic significance of the fall of Soledar, nothing about the growing Russian pressure on Bakhmut to the south of Soledar and nothing about Ukraine’s catastrophic casualties. It is genuinely bizarre.
Speaking of bizarre (and shifting gears), the Feds have found more classified documents that Joe Biden squirreled away for six years and counting. We are asked to believe that Biden’s attorneys, for no good reason, just decided to start searching through a closet at the Biden Penn Center –the Chinese funded center — and found some Top Secret docs. If I am Joe Biden and you are my attorney your job is to destroy those documents. There is no audit trail. But that is not what they did. They told the National Archives personnel. Those folks alerted the Department of Justice. This was in early November.
And in the ensuing weeks following that initial discovery, they find more; including a new batch this week. What the hell is going on? The decision to pack up those documents when Biden left office was not an accident due to carelessness. Biden’s staffers, starting with his Chief of Staff Ron Klain, not only handled those documents but knew why the classified material was being removed illegally from the White House. Those staffers will be in the trick box in the coming weeks. Get your popcorn. It will be quite a show.
I did an interview Friday morning with Emerald Robinson. We discussed this (p.s., I was on Skype and it worked fine).
I bet you Obama, the Kenyan and Cankles Hillary are part of this set up, 2023 is turning out to be one hell of a year, burn, baby burn.
Another great interview!!
He’s not Kenyan.
He’s not popular in Kenya either after his Libya war and general kick in the face to Africa. He can’t speak the local language and he’s never lived there so deal with that.
He is 100% an American supremacist neocon with zero consequences. White supremacy turned into American supremacy which included others of the same ideology so made it main stream and acceptable. Note differs from patriotism.
So let’s characterise them properly. They are American supremacists, elitists and neocons. Black Americans have never given two shits about killing lots of black, brown or now Slavic people abroad. They are fully onboard with the American supremacist agenda.
Don’t get your panties in a wad, he’s Kenyan….
his Swahili nickname is “shetani mweupe” or the White Devil. Being called a white devil in Africa is not flattery.
He was born in Kenya. His brother, his mother, and others verified this.
His US birth certificate and university papers are proved fakes.
His mother was white American do you think she would go to Kenya for what? He had little connection with his father or grandfather was not even concious of having relatives there.
well said! Hats off.
They aren’t Americans, either. They are Liberal Globalist Supremacists. They are simply using America to protect their financial hegemony over the rest of the planet.
Exactly. The US politicians are owned by the City of London bankers as their “muscle” and “enforcer” using the US military to accomplish their globalist objectives.
“owned by Wall Street and the City of London bankers”
Fixed it for ya. Same objectives.
In India we have a term for the likes of Obama – “coconut” – brown outside but white within.
in France the term is “bounty”. My children are victims of this stupid term because they are brown but really french as their white father. The color outside means nothing and the inside is red for all. Obama is from United States (unitedstatian?). Neither black nor white.
It’s a idiotic and racist term istana means place or home in many indoaryan group of languages
Even India is called Hindustan . In fact this was the name used by the Mughals for hundreds of years .
While your ancestors were revelling in twice a year baths Hindustan accounted for 1/3 of the world’s wealth.
Larry, are these jokers your friends playing around?
Cheeses RICE!
I’ve not seen so many be so wrong out loud here before.
Are corrective links allowed?

I suspected Obama was the CIA’s chosen one in 2008 after looking into his main booster, The Daily ‘Dose’ smarmy hate website. Now it looks like he was actually bred for the job, just like Rosemary’s Baby.
Still, the Obama presidency was the best thing that ever happened to me. I couldn’t/wouldn’t afford Obamacare, so joined a bi-partisan exempted Health Share Ministry for $50 a month. They used to send me a monthly prayer request with photos and stories of other members in need. That is when I got it. These were the hardworking, decent Americans who support our country. It wasn’t the ‘government’, it was them.
The fascist zelensky, who has all the blackmail documents, tells the US Congress and biden to jump..
They don’t even ask how high, they just commit to spending to the last US taxpayer dollar, collected or borrowed.
Congrat’s. Well done summary for the interviewer. I think she understood you!
We all expected this, you Larry predicted it.
The sycophants will lamely try to cover up their previous support and soon they will be saying that they never really supported this war, it was all Biden doing. He will be the goat. Too bad he probably won’t even be cognizant of what is being said about him.
They will hang everything on Old Senile Joe.
The record however is clear and that puts an accent mark on the importance of the work you are doing.
Too bad the normies will probably swallow it whole while the media tries to find a way to blame Trump.
Its good that we here are part of the historic record so the next generation will have proof that not everyone in this era was an idiot.
This sums up the situation perfectly! Kudos.
“Do nothing for the US PR on the global stage” 🙄
Ahem for those of us ancient beings who ain’t dead yet, yankee PR was lost forever with Larry’s ex mob, the CIA’s, assassination of JKF and his fam, the naïve hope by some for an alternate US way.
Every decade or so since, there have been peaceful attempts to offer doodle dandies another way, every attempt thwarted. This will be the last during my lifetime, and too sadly by another war, such that I ask is this really change from our inhuman ending of life ways.
Thank you for being here. Best wishes all 🕊️
I watched JFK for the hundredth time last night and would love to hear whether Larry ever heard any gossip concerning what/whom happened.
Read Douglass’s “JFK and the Unspeakable”. Exhaustive research, implicates Dulles boys, CAI, ONI, FBI and Mafia.
Does he implicate Israel, because JFK tried to shut down their nuke programme and put a limit to their influence on American politics?
See, inter alia,

When it comes to mobsters and the Kennedys, you really should watch various interviews of Gianni Russo who played the character of Carlo in The Godfather. Here’s one of them, there are many more. It wasn’t as simple as the CIA.
https://youtu.be/R6rPB6EhL0A
“Ahem for those of us ancient beings who ain’t dead yet, yankee PR was lost forever with Larry’s ex mob”?
Really? Ever hear the history of the undermining of Larry and other truth tellers in CIA and at State and Defense (I’ll include Scott Ritter and Giraldi, Flynn and others in those, too) when the CIA and State went on to failure after failure because of idiotic groupthink? They were forced out, one after the other. MacGregor retired a Colonel because his opinion was no longer wanted due to lack of cooperation with the “narrative”. If he fell in with them, he’d have been a four-star, like Petraeus, a dude who was all-in with the lies and depravity. Jack Keene was another depravity of the Deep State And was himself, like Petraeus depraved in his media proclamations.
I prefer to follow those of them that told the truth whatever the cost to their future.
Colonel David Hackworth was a really great man. He had a popular blog and was the guy posting Karen Kwiatowski’s anonymous letters about the neocon takeover of the Pentagon after 9/11. Another great man who should have been promoted
Bidet’s “secret documents” are an obvious plant by the same people who “find them”. Apparently it’s an incremental process that will continue until something happens. What is that something? Over on Unz, Mike Whitney speculates that it’s blackmail to force Bidet to either formally send troops to Ukranazistan or be kicked out of office, but I don’t believe this, for the simple reason that Bidet is in charge of nothing and will do as his owners tell him to. Another possibility is to force Bidet out of office now that the midterm selections are over, before me loses the 2024 presidential selection. But what with “mail in voting” (what a joke) and the fact that your country needs no proof of identity or citizenship to vote, anyone the corporate owners choose will be put in the White Louse anyway. So I really have no good idea what this is about.
“So I really have no good idea what this is about.”
And you likely never will BP!
:–)
I think Emerald is right, Biden’s announcement that he will be running for a second term initiated certain sequences within the Deep State, and Larry too is right; now that is becoming clear to all inside the Beltway Madhouse that a very significant aspect of the globalist project is about to get smashed to bits in Ukraine, a scapegoat/sacrifice will be required, and who better than Joe?
The wild card as I see it, is Kamala Harris. Is it possible that the goal is to put her in charge? After all, for the last 40 years the Republican Party has been telling me that all governments must be made so small and weak and utterly helpless that they can be “drowned in a bathtub” whenever the need arises.
And I think we can all agree, that if Kamala is given the top job, that would send a clear signal to the world order that the United States has indeed been “strangled to death,” and no longer exists?
But as an American, I have to believe there are still some enough sane people in positions of high power in Washington, that Kamala Harris will never be allowed to be President of the USA.
On the other hand, it will be nearly impossible for the Beltway/Media Complex to conjure up 2 years of meaningless distractions on this one, and strech it all out to 2024, because again, unlike RussiaGate, which was perfectly suited to these type of shenanigans because there was nothing to find, Joe Biden’s skeletons are dancing around in broad daylight. Hell, I wouldn’t surprised if he had dead bodies stashed in the cargo bay of his Corvette.
Quite the conundrum.
President Harris. What a thing to think upon. Never did win a single vote in the Democratic primaries, and what is her approval rating at this point, minus 14 and dropping?
TPTB are going to deny Joe the nomination and run with Newsome, who will be the next President. If you think Bidet was bad, just stand the f… by for what’s to come.
Yes Glenn,
All my money is on a run by gruesome. As an unfortunate resident of California for 25 years I
will state categorically that this person has screwed up every single thing he’s ever touched.
He is every thing that we despise in politicians and then some and I live in dread of his getting shoehorned into the WH like bribem. I honestly can’t think of a worse fate for the nation.
Despite my utter hatred for Joe Biden, I hate to say it but he may be the sane person left in Washington that you speak of. The fact that he is not willing to start wwiii is the reason the deep state wants/needs his removal.
Instead, let’s put in an opportunist with no memory of the Cold War or Cuban Missile crisis, and has no feelings of what barely remains of the guilt over Vietnam that some baby Bommers like Biden may still retain. Nor does she have any idea of what the pentagon papers revealed about the way the US wages war.
She will escalate, and if we are still alive for the election of 2024 it won’t matter whether she wins or loses. At that point the only path forward whether it be Desantis or Harris will be continue the war.
“I hate to say it but” … Joe Biden … “may be the only sane person left in Washington … ”
It’s just too ridiculous to think about. In this hour of desperation for our nation, all eyes now turn to our demented President, because he is the only sane person left Washington!”
Lmao … What an ungodly mess we’re in.
Nah, this is his project and kicking off Ukraine was the reason they dusted old Joe off to run. He ran, personally, the Ukraine desk as Obama’s VP. His and Clinton’s people at state then all got even better jobs when he entered the WH.
If anything, bringing down Joe might be about trying to wind the Ukraine quagmire down and it may well be others keeping him from WWIII. His never been very stable, always prone to anger especially when he doesn’t get his way. That was the real Joe that said Putin had to be brought down. He was the one who told the US troops in Poland they’d be in Ukraine soon, that was the real Joe.
Why would anyone want to escape a war that they will loose?? Guaranteed!! Is the deep state that stupid? Imagine the humiliation of loosing the war and then having to pay back stolen money plus damages.
I think it was always the plan to get rid of NBIden after 2 years. Perhaps they were hoping he would actually die. I don’t buy the classified documents are planted. What we know from past experience is that these people always play fast and loose with classified material. Hillary, as an example, had her aides remove TS SCI documents from the SCIF, photocopy them, white out the classification headers and the scanned them in to email them to her on unclassified insecure phones. On top of that she ran her own server at home with the password “password” to store all this stuff. Hunter’s laptop as well as the laptop of Weiner (Hillary’s aide de camp’s husband) all had TS SCI material. It is plain no one took security seriously as it is inconvenient.
However, if you are not one of the elite and get caught with a TS SCI document in your possession then off you go to prison as happened with Reality Winner. So, as always, there are two sets of standards.
I know from personal experience as I also had TS SCI Level 4 access that the access was extremely inconvenient and when I read documents I was checked into a SCIF after thorough screening, a librarian removed the document from the safe inside the SCIF which I could then read, and I was searched going in and out of the SCIF. So, removing stuff to me is evidence of a system that was deliberately and flagrantly abused. All of them should be prosecuted. Every aid, every guard, every custodian of documents, everyone involved. That will never happen.
President Harris with an estimated IQ of 56 (obvious when you listen to her) can’t even read her lines. I foresee an unfortunate accident in her future. That leaves McCarthy as President. Ponder that and what it pertains to the future.
“Never did win a single vote in the Democratic primaries, …”
I beg to differ. Then Senator Harris dropped out before the 2020 NH Primary, but she was already on the ballot, and she recieved 129 votes (which can be confirmed on the summary page downloaded from here.
I, on the other hand, recieved 282 votes running as a delegate for Major Tulsi Gabbard in the 2020 RI Presidential Primary, held months after the Tuesday Massacre when several candidates dropped out in favor of Biden. By popular vote, I am more than twice as acceptable to be President, and I have not yet sold my soul to Wall Street.
However, I do not seek the nomination of any Party, if nominated, I will not run, and if elected, i will not serve.
Ukraine or allowing and backing up Israeli strike on Iran? Or America doing it for them. Israel already preparing. Land grab in Syria and strikes on Iran.
Ukraine is lower down list of powers to be now. Things could get really ugly.
Israel can first try land grab in Lebanon. Remember how that went.
By 2024 it will be an even farther stretch of the imagination that Biden won. Last year Tom Luongo speculated a viable pathway for Janet Yellen to become president. The Vegas odds are pretty long on that. As if it mattered. They could give him the Magufuli treatment and village idiot Harris would be president immediately. And that seems to be the conundrum driving the seeming uncertainty. It may be a desperation move too. And always exploitable. They done wrung about as much out of the Biden fiction as is humanly possible already. It is mind boggling that it has gone on this long. The die hards are falling away again and so it’s time to bring them back into the fold as when the supreme court decided to hear roe right before midterms.
I heard an excellent interview on Redacted with a Polish journalist who exposes the moral bankruptcy of Ukraine and Poland with its own people – two ultranationalist Govts – and confirms that only 30% of military aid continues to reach the front! As in the CBS report. 11 months of misappropriation of mostly US military aid by the biggest national corruption machine in memory. And the best weaponry ends up somewhere. With news arriving from Africa. I hope someone returns to Washington unpacked.

ISIS will suddenly grow stronger with modern Western weapons.
It will be a complete coincidence, naturally.
I predict a new Ukrainian ISIS-like paramilitary group is being organized right now. The US sees itself as an expert in this type of dirty work, so wants to move to where it has expertise.
We live in the age of the Coincidence. It’s the new normal.
ISIS grew strong with modern western weapons first time around. No fear of it happening again.

“taking on Ukraine as a permanent dependent”
Isn’t this akin to adopting a committed member of the Hitler Youth into your family?
“attention, resources, and will to be the world’s cop”
The role of a cop is to enforce the Law, not some arbitrary, make-them-up-as-it-suits-us rules-based order. Cops arrest, it’s the role of lawyers to prosecute and defend, and a judge and/or to determine guilt or otherwise. The analogy of the “world’s cop” is deeply flawed.
As implemented to date, the experience for many countries is being on the receipt of thuggery, having their countries trashed by a bully in uniform doing the bidding of masters making a quick buck. War is a racket.
At least there will be a lot fewer Nazis in what’s left of Ukraine when the war ultimately ends. The Russian military is seeing to that.
The problem is the rest of them are going to come here, where they will be used to terrorize the working class, along with ANTIFA and BLM.
…Damn, bad editing ‘JFK’ of course. I often wonder if Mac does it on purpose to make me the fool,
Hi Larry,
Your analysis has been much appreciated by many.
I write this mainly as nobody else seems to have commented as yet. But could you tell us your thoughts on why The West has fallen?
I can’t quite believe that it simply due to the natural ebbs and flows of competing powers.
I watched a vid from an ex Kgb spook produced in the eighties, whereby he describes active kgb methods to destroy the fundamental core of who we are.
Yuri Bezmenov is the chap”s name.
Thank you
it is simple. The rejection of God and the embrace of sexual perversion.
IMHO I’d say it’s a rebellion against God. And the over-the-top promotion of perversion is a mocking of God.
And the love of money and power I would suggest.
Same thing
Same thing if you have a medieval mentality.
Atheists, we are not perverts. For sure no more than soooo many priests that are child abusers.
Don’t make this about you. No one cares if you the individual is an atheist. The issue before us is SOCIETY turning away from God.
> For sure no more than soooo many priests that are child abusers.
And a higher percentage of our ruling elite are child abusers.
“Don’t make this about you.”
Right, that is why I wrote “we”.
“The issue before us is SOCIETY turning away from God.”
I don’t have a problem repeating myself:
that is if you have a medieval mentality.
You (impersonal use of “you”) can be a perfectly decent person with absolutely no religious beliefs.
Remove religion .. but also tv, facebook&co from your society, and I’m sure it will improve a lot.
“And a higher percentage of our ruling elite are child abusers.”
Wokes, communists … of course now they are also child abusers.
What will be next ..
Cannibalism?
Yep, and an insatiable appetite for wealth and power by a handful of oligarchs.
Now there you’ve nailed it Larry. My sentiments exactly. I appreciate this forum you provide to those like yourself, who are rational, moral and ethical.
Spot on!
Amen.
Hence Truth, service, justice, family, freedom, dignity, purpose don’t matter. The outcome is infantalised adults who behave crudely and selfishly like spoilt children unable to see beyond their own desires.
Larry, very honest and straight answer; you’re 100% correct. Fundamentally, American and Western core values have been corrupted.
Oh my.
Year 2023.
And still mixing religion and sex with politics and geopolitics.
Of course you are doomed.
Your own readers must correct you.
Or are you saying that the “rejection of god and ‘sexual perversions'” are bigger factors than greed for power and dominance over resources????
Amazing.
In Smedley D. Butler time, wars were made to fight perverts, not steal resources, sure.
On target, on glidepath…..this absolutely right. They all a waiting the Man of peace/sin to arise. Also a excellent interview.
Exactly
Is this why Sodom (San Fransisco) and Gamora (Hollywood) experiencing a bomb cyclone or Biblical flooding with estimated damages of 34 billion and counting. If you exceed the laws of Nature, Nature will abort you.
Being part of this lighthouse built upon solid rock during these times of tumultuous storms and darkness. “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” Proverbs 27:17
“The rejection of God and the embrace of sexual perversion”. And from this rejection a multiple of consequences such as the service to Mammoth, the addiction to money.
Read Andrei Martyanov’s book Disintegration, an excellent description of the American collapse.
Empires in the modern era (not Egypt or Rome) only last 50-100 years, so not a bad run.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_empires
Its happened too many times for the logic of empire not to include the seeds of its destruction.
Bummer to live through the end of it, though.
In the overall picture shorn of all myth making what was the unique thing about US? Huge land, lots of resources, single market and ultimately mass manufacturing.
Same with Europe, when Spain discovered gold and silver by the ship loads in Americas it gave them( and consequently Europe with competition and formation of private companies, and promissory notes ie the sovereign could devolve some of his risk to others with risk taking appetite) ability to finance expeditions, grab trade concessions in East then finance standing armies to protect their trade and finally same wealth hauled from America gave them capability to deploy these trade protection militias in service of local kings and later on finance the military contests of those eastern kings. In doing so they inserted themselves in the system of the east and then took over it.
US mass manufacturing was equalled by Japanese, then Koreans and surprassed but they did not have access to large markets. China came in and has not only mastered the mass manufacturing and also has access to mass market.
So what is the new ? Internet? Drones, Robots? No that can be done by others? So what’s your USP? Answer is nothing. World is back to demographics, resources etc technology will develop where there is manufacturing, ecosystem, trade and demographics.
This is the harsh reality rest all is sideshows.. Either gear up to adapt and take your place in the new playing field or crash spectacularly.
Why is part of the establishment suddenly turning against Biden ?
Maybe they’re trying to find a way to prevent him hitting the road in his Corvette.
I find it curious that anybody who tries to shake hands with the Invisible Man could still hold a drivers licence. Absurd that such a person could be C in C of the military and the leader of the Free World.
Like, 330 or so million Americans, and the powers that be pick this one… C’mon man!
Yeah, c’mon man, I mean look fat, we’ve got to truananashabadapressure for Badacastcare, or you’re a lyin’ dog-faced pony soldier!
LOL!!! You speak fluent Bidenese.
You got me sussed, I’m a bad-assed dog-faced pony soldier.
i’ve never met a dog-faced pony
Nah, the term “dog-faced pony soldier” is a term in two parts.
“dog-faced” refers to the person.
“pony soldier” refers to what they do.
C’mon man, Biden wasn’t shaking hands with the Invisible Man, he was shaking hands with the Ghost of Kiev!
Now that is hilarious.
The more interesting question is who amongst the deep state has decided to turn against Biden.
As to why, you may as well ask why a scorpion stings, or a shark bites, or a dog barks.
They do it because it is in their nature, the same is true of the deep state: treachery and double-cross is just built into their DNA.
Bidet’s bumbling has caused TPTB to lose face in the world. Like Fidel’s son Trudeau, Newsome has the nads to crush their domestic and international enemies. Face will be restored, come nuclear hell or high water.
Ha!
As soon as I pressed send – the comments arrived:)
Anyway – written as a long time listener, first time caller.
Sorry to spam this thread but I’ve always thought of Biden as an Uncle Junior (from the sopranos,) type of president.
The copium over Soledar is, indeed, epic.
According to ISW the Ukrainians fed men into a meat-grinder day after day over a… nothing place. Something of no importance.
And then when they did lose it to the Russians the Ukrainians launched counter-attack after counter-attack in an attempt to regain…. a worthless, meaningless plot of land.
Hellllllooooooooo. Those are mutually-exclusive propositions: either Soledar is not worth anything or Soledar is worth bleeding yourself white over.
Pick one. Or the other. But not both.
The loss of salt mine increased the saltiness. Standard logic does not apply here. Just like Schrödinger’s cat may be considered simultaneously both alive and dead, Soledar is both crucial and irrelevant.
The deep-state installed the demented, corrupt Biden as their puppet a mere 2 years ago.
I can’t understand why they want to get rid of him already.
Maybe they just want to prevent him from running for his second terms. This could be the sign for replacement candidates to start the campaign.
OK so Biden and his admin get ushered out, …. what’s next?
Does it really matter?
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Hi Larry. The “You Got To Go Joe Show” is getting to be such a hoot I’m thinking of buying season tickets in the front row for me and a friend. In that clip of Merrick Garland he looks as terrified as a squirrel that’s been caught stealing nuts from a badger. Sleepy Joe isn’t the only one who needs a change of diaper. And storing classified documents at Hunter’s house? This is going from comedy to parody to slapstick in less time than it takes to write the script.
As for the media and the ISW crowd; what was once a plan by the Deep Swamp to stay on top forever is instead becoming a full-frontal display of every greedy impulse and extreme nastiness that has been the underlying bond between politics and the media in the US since Nixon. Expect things to get very ugly, even with a Special Counsel who’s already shown to be just as corrupt as Sleepy Joe.
More cow bell, thank you Larry.
Sums it up.
Still makes me chuckle.
Maybe Brandon got deluded that he runs this country vs his puppet masters and announced he’d run in 2024 without their permission? But couldn’t the gray cardinals find a more elegant solution to remove him by forcing him into a mental evaluation, and meanwhile replacing Kamala with whoever they want (Hilary or Michelle), and Brandon taking the 25th, rather than do such a banal copycat with “secret documents find,” which looks like the Democrats spat into a poisoned well, and the well now spat back?
Unless, of course, they’re covering a much worse situation hidden behind this one…
Or maybe Brandon’s messed-up daughter was looking for her yet another missing diary in these boxes and pulled a Forrest Gump on her daddy?
Most likely this new document discovery which the brainwashed public believe it to be illegal, is the work of the deep state/AIPAC, as a diversion from the inevitable defeat of NATO in the Ukraine, before the next elections. The deep state already has their candidate all dressed to be the next US president who will be drawing people’s attention away from the major world changing defeat of the west in Ukraine to some other BS theatrics such as the discovery of clandestine activities and corruption by the Biden team etc. that might hopefully set the stage for another round of make America great again show.
Evil Russians hit the reset button provided by Hillary and the documents magically appeared from the Moscow hotel suite.
Putin will soon be in hiding and we will be in Moscow by March with a bustling Green Zone.
Just as soon as the evil Crazy Ivan runs out of missiles the Ukes will storm the Volokolamsk highway with the Wunderwaffen provided by the US and its Europe rump vassals.
I’m be standing outside the Green Zone McDonalds with my get a Brian ya morans sign and some Freedom Fries.
Good interview Larry. I get the impression Emerald doesn’t fully understand what you are saying. But at least she lets you speak uninterrupted. Great to see your website getting the attention it deserves.
This right here is exactly what the lack of proper leadership leads to. I weep for for a once great nation. https://asiatimes.com/2023/01/a-looming-threat-and-a-hollow-force/
it’s bizarre to us sane people, but to the psychopaths in charge it’s just their usual gaslighting and enforcing fraud – all they have ever done, trying to keep as many victims of their fraud ignorant and disoriented so to keep their psychopathic misanthropy run for a bit longer
The classified documents relating to several things…found near a floor jack and cans of oil apparently…..and the address of the house in which is attached to the garage is on Hunter Biden’s drivers license…one of the staffers who found the documents named Underwood showed up dead today. Western mainstream media has gone full retard. Read Forbes latest on the “human wave tactics” of PMC Wagner. Full retard
“one of the staffers who found the documents named Underwood showed up dead today”
Can’t find this on any Google search. Can you supply a link?
It’s internet nonsense.
The supposed dead assistant named Frank Underwood. The character in the US version of House of Cards.
Original UK version he was Francis Urquart
Yes… mainstream debunked the story based on….the name mainly…then all reference to it and the address of the residence being on Hunter Biden’s drivers license disappeared. The content of the internet is being manipulated in real time….details added and ommitted by AI. It’s my opinion that alot of details are released early and then scrubbed. I’ve seen DPR footage of chemical weapons used against them by Ukrainian forces deleted while I was watching and then no reference to the footage after the fact. Bottom line is someone tipped off authorities to classified material outlining the then vice president’s interaction with China and Ukraine.. amongst other things and there is a massive damage control operation ongoing. Seth Rich released documents In response to irregularities at the DNC and was murdered…now the FBI has asked for 66 years to provide documentation on the case that they denied having in first place.
The information was from a telegram channel….it referred to a staffer named Underwood who was found dead but had been battling with depression for some time….then there was reference to Frank Underwood from the television show and a hoax then there is nothing….as the story starts to pivot away from the Garage at his Delaware home and onto his Pen Biden Center office.
“Human wave tactics” is how WWII Nazis justified their losses too.
When asked about a big stack of boxes apparently containing government documents in the garage by his Corvette. Biden: “By the way I keep my Corvette in a locked garage. So it’s not like it is sitting out in the street.” LMAO!
Has anyone bothered to look in the glove compartment of that Corvette?
The timing of the document revelations is simply too convenient. It’s a setup. I’m of the opinion that when Grifter Joe announced he was running again TPTB put the brakes on.
I recall Rush Limbaugh saying Biden
was the democrat nominee at the pleasure of the Supreme Leader, Obama.
Harris is a cackling idiot. She will go to war over gay marriage and drag queen story time. I recall using the bathroom several years back in a San Francisco public library
and seeing drag queen storytime on the schedule that say. Harris is San Francisco.
So UK sends tanks to Ukraine and Defence Ministry invoices Foreign Office full cost which Foreign Office debits from Foreign Aid budget. Relieves pressure for Defence Budget until it wants to replace………
The Lockdown in Europe (if not US) was similar to the CPSU Coup against Mikhail Gorbachev in August 1991. they thought they were imposing Order but in fact Unravelled the whole system of USSR. So politicians in The West cut those slender ropes holding the shaky edifice of Western Society together as “people tried to get by” and were ordered to stay home and not work and not travel.
So I very much doubt ANY European country will replace the weapons sent to Ukraine; nor will they find additional manpower to boost their military.
In fact I suspect USA will need to increase Defence Spending significantly to protect Europe which will be energy constrained for decades ahead and de-industrialised. Chemical Industry will migrate to Saudi Arabia or Russia (China is building global scale PE crackers in Russia) and leave Ludwigshafen or Rotterdam
Europe – Germany alone has spent €500 billion in the past year coping with its Dysfunctional Energy Policy. Does Siemens ever expect to sell turbines and gas compression units again ?
The ageing demographic in Europe and the high rates of non-“vaccination” among ethnic minorities indicate who will not suffer demographically from side-effects and infertility. Coupled with collapse of German Export Model (cheap Russian inputs facilitate expensive German outputs) will lead to EU trade deficits and weakening Euro.
US will gain everything from LNG exports but lose Defence exports and Consumer Goods Brands in Europe which will be in a Dollar Deficit as after 1945

The wish is fair. But you understand that the US empire will never voluntarily liberate its European colony.
For 80 years, the USA has been fattening the European white curly lamb for slaughter, for a “rainy day”.
Now, when China, India, Russia, and the Gulf Monarchies have risen in the East (the “black day for the United States” has come), the time has come for reckoning, as Trump warned the Europeans about at the time.
It is necessary to fight for independence and sovereignty. The only chance for Europeans to gain true independence was in an economic and military alliance with Russia, with Putin’s Russia, if you will.
But instead, the Europeans (including Italy) chose to participate in a proxy war against Russia with the illusory hope that the Ukrainians would defeat Russia without their participation – they would drag chestnuts out of the fire for their civilized, fully democratized brothers.
You can calculate the consequences of such a disastrous policy yourself, given that Ukrainians will definitely present their bill to Europe.
In my opinion, Biden is not only escape goat for Ukraine, but I think that they have long wanted to change him because of his health and constant embarrassment that he is bringing, however, they could not do it because if VP would become president, they would loose the swing vote in Senate.
Now, after elections where they managed to take one more senate vote (probably stolen, but that’s another topic), they can afford to get rid of him and use that to show it as an example that no-one is above law, and that “institutions are working” even against an sitting president, because after all, he is not really important – the deep state is, and they probably have enough bad on him (and also many ways to eliminate him) so that he must keep quiet after the replacement
Harris on the other hand is also very bad, but she is much easier to control in general, so I guess that she is good enough
That makes sense. I hope they underestimate Harris, and she’s an absolute hellcat when they try to control her.
Of course, propaganda and drugs have an influence, but something must be very wrong in the education system when people can believe so much stupidity. Or is it that they think with the wallet.
Finally, your LIVE STREAM issues has been solved. I was always FRUSTRATED when you had issues with your LIVE STREAMS… because you analysis are very important, but sadly viewers could not enjoy it. Now that this issue has been resolved… please do MAKE more LIVE INTERVIEWS, asd often as possible. I’m a fan of you and Andrei Maryanov (both with HIGHLY INTELLIGENT analysis.. very RARE in YOUTUBE (the Bullshit Capital Of The World).
In other news, here is a (not) funny story that illustrates difference between the way that Russian and USA empire treat cultural heritage of Natives. Alaskans should have a refendum to join Russian Federation. 🙂

It’s odd this Biden thing.
Dollar on blackmail.
By who? Why would his own lawyers participate or were the lawyers simply dumb and handed it in without thinking. Lawyers act on client instructions. Very very odd.
A lawyer explained it the other day. I think Jeff Childers in his substack.
If a client confesses a murder to his lawyer, it’s privileged info.
If a client hands the murder weapon to his lawyer, the lawyer is accessory to murder.
The lawyers that found the ts/scif papers had to turn them in immediately to protect themselves.
Yeah, but when’s the last time you sent a team of lawyers to clean out your garage? No, if Biden or his “team” were truly wrapping up and closing out some of his old haunts, for precisely this reason they would have sent a couple of trusted minions to simply sanitize everything. This is a very purposeful hit job on Biden. Remains to be seen the who and why.
On Ukraine I don’t think the western response is as organised as people think. West is on back foot now responding to events and trying to catch up technologically and stocks wise.
As Emmanuel Todd observed the expansion of NATO into Ukraine was existential to Russia, when Russia’s economy did not collapse as expected and a threat to dollar hegemony materialised, it became existential for the United States.
All the neocons plans fell apart. They are scrambling for a way forward and no one has a plan that will work. This will push them to unthinkable extremes or a desperate climbdown. Either way the dye is cast.

The above is by a former US Navy Undersecretary. Do you know how a bully survives? Bluff. No one ever calls him and punches him in the face. The first time someone hits him, the game is over. We have a military designed and built to terrorize women and children in the Middle East. To drone kill poor bastards who may or may not be guilty of something along with 30 innocents. That is why Ukraine is the template. We cannot meet recruitment goals. We have to find people who will fight our genocidal wars for us. IF Ukraine is destroyed and we lose? Do you think the Taiwanese will be taking note? Do you think anyone will be lining up to die for USA bloodlust? That is why they cannot walk back this debacle. Ukraine is the whole plan for the future. All over the world.

Larry, ‘Post Comment’ defaults to the very top without accepting the draft. Is there a problem?
I hear Buckley was the CIA plant to render the conservative movement harmless, from their point of view. The Birchers were always true constitutional conservatives. I prefer anti-Federalists, myself.
Nuts & bolts. Ukraine is bottom land located at the terminus of many large rivers. Due to its geologic history, it possess enormous quantities of natural resources (mineral, oil & gas, and excellent agricultural topsoil). The USA and EU wish to exploit these resources for fun and profit, and the resulting income stream will keep their governments solvent for a few more years despite profligate spending and grift. For the West, capturing Ukraine is as existential as it is for Russia (who views this as a security issue). Western sovereign debt will soon default or devalue without Ukraine’s booty to keep it afloat a little longer. That is why Biden’s handlers cannot give up. It really is this simple.
UA’s resources are indeed substantial, but as regards underpinning the $y$tem’s monstrous Debt UA’s real value lies in its being a gateway to control of Russia’s vast, almost untouched resources.
The $y$tem is headed for hard default as the notional value of the debts underpinning all its currencies exceeds the notional value of the planet by several times. Even Russia’s resources, if they could get hold of them, would have to be revalued (along with the RoW’s) to underpin the new currency system.
All debts are always paid – either by the borrower or by the lender. Historically, socio-political power structures have always reset with a reset in the monetary system. Against all historical precedent, the owners of the $y$tem’s debts believe they’ve come up with a strategy that ensures they’re not the ones paying, guaranteeing that they’ll stay on top of the pyramid through the transition and into the future.
That’s why this war is existential for both sides. On the one side we have Russia (& China) who’s governing elites have been (rather rudely) excluded from a seat at the top of the $y$tem’s pyramid. That rejection will, I believe, prove the West’s fatal strategic blunder. It left the Russian & Chinese elites with nothing to lose by forcing the $y$tem and its elites into failure. They settled on “Multipolarity” as their modus vivendi, allowing all national elites to survive, including themselves.
On the other side, we have the Western elites who’ll lose everything if they can’t bring Russia (& China) under consolidated control before the $y$tem defaults.
That, in a nutshell, is the power calculus playing out right now. To be sure, there are moral, cultural, historical and civilizational aspects to this struggle and they are indeed of great human and historical import, but they are secondary in the sense that their future value depends on the outcome of the primary power struggle. Simply put, the “Russian/Chinese/Indian/etc Worlds” will disappear as they are swallowed by the $y$tem if it proves victorious.
As Nietzsche said: “The World is the Will to Power, and Nothing besides!” At bottom it is.
A definition, if I may:
Leftoxenomorph:
A leftoxenomorph is a non-human parasite that wants human civilization destroyed, the planet mostly depopulated of humans and the surviving humans in slavery, to serve it.
Leftoxenomorphs are the closest beings to ghouls you are going to find in real life defining “ghoul” as “subhuman being interested in morbid or disgusting things that delights in the revolting, morbid, or loathsome, hates humanity and goodness and loves evil and all forms of degeneracy”
Strange-leftist-beings, a lefto-xeno-morph is any individual sufficiently leftist that leaves humanity aside and behind her to regress out of humanity and become a member of a different species, non-human, sub-human, anti-human, utterly hostile to everything human, longing for an ant-hill to belong to, with a one-hive-mind and a huge statues of che guevara and saint floyd of the fentanyl to worship, somewhere.
Want to understand the concept of a leftoxenomorph?
Ask yourself this simple question: does a human being own himself?
The leftoxenomorph will answer “of course not. Everybody belongs to the ant-hill.”
Ask yourself this simple question: is A, A?
The leftoxenomorph will answer “of course not. What A is depends on what the ant-hill wants A to be. Everything is a social construct. Even reality is a social construct.”
Ask yourself this simple question: do you miss America?
The leftoxenomorph will answer “of course not. America was evil.”
Full knowledge – willful evil. One of the shortest definitions of leftoxenomorphism.
The motto of leftoxenomorphism is: “You go woke or you croak.”
The word and the definition of “leftoxenomorph” is my answer to the question: how much does a lefto-puke regress, degenerate, corrupt herself and shift to the left that we start considering she has abandoned mankind to become something sub-human, anti-human, human-hater, poisonous to humans and not deserving of the inalienable rights of the individual?
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Now, here goes a rule that might, IMMO, help you understand the why of many things happening to us, humans.
Rule: If something is bad for humans, it’s good for leftoxenomorphs.
They hate us and they want most of us dead and the rest enslaved to them.
And they are getting away with it.
Notice that they are not hiding it.
They tell us every day of the year what they are doing.
Their leftoxenomorph nature is out there, in plain sight, for all to see.
But many, if not most people, refuse to see them for what they are.
Leftoxenomorphs are shielded from what ought to righteously come to them by humanity’s inability to conceive of pure evil in humanoid form.
There may be plots and counterplots that certainly concern those in D.C., but are irrelevant to us, because it’s all the same game, as others here have noted.
Three years ago, during a Democratic debate, the one where the flavor of the moment was racism against hispanics and debate candidates started speaking in Spanish to prove how much they loved Mexico and ‘refugees’…speaking this before they even spoke in English…I thought how, if someone threw a bomb into this debate, there would be no damage to the country if they all went poof! Actually, if any of these people were permanently removed from power, it would be a great boon.
I understand the system is all powerful but, as in Europe, there is a true lack of competency at the top. We seem to be viewing a system fully in power and control, but it’s losing the ability to judge what to do. It’s a machine in need of re-alignment, and that will probably come through disaster, the ultimate fix-up.
It’s not the first time in history that a ruling class was incapable of ruling, or used their declining talents on meaningless fiats or simply destroying their subjects because that was the last bit of power they had.
As Anthony Burgess noted, patriotism generally means supporting whom your government tells you it is fashionable to kill. It’s possible that our government will simply tell us it is fashionable to kill each other, and so, loyal Americans, get started. In Europe, the upper classes already seem to be exterminating their peoples.
For the record, I would like to see Biden replaced and punished in some way. “Ah, but he’s old and senile, and only a tool…” Yes, but he was a very willing tool, a sleazy, unintelligent grifter, and seeing him fondle girls on TV when their parents were sworn in to office was disgusting, and his family is equally disgusting. But, seeing justice done anywhere is probably too late. Better for us to seek cover when it all falls down.
Biden Penn. Was that the building on 17th St NW.? They found those docs in cardboard crates in a filing cabinet storage room, unlocked, no? For 6 years now? Christ’s sake.
German defence company Rheinmetall has 22 Leopard 2 tanks and 88 Leopard 1 tanks, but it would take about a year to prepare them for shipment to Ukraine, CEO Armin Papperger said on Sunday.
“We still have 22 Leopard 2 units that we could put into operation and deliver to Ukraine. As for Leopard 1, we have about 88 of them. But we cannot repair these tanks without a contract, because the costs amount to several hundred million euros. Rheinmetall cannot offer preliminary financing to this,” Papperger told German media.
Leopard tanks need about one year to be prepared to be shipped and put into operation, the businessman said.
“The vehicles are not only repainted but also rebuilt for usage during wartime. They are completely disassembled and then reassembled. This means that even if a decision is made tomorrow that we can send our Leopard tanks to Kyiv, the delivery will take place no sooner than the beginning of next year,” Rheinmetall’s chief said.
Something smells here. They did NOT have to reveal anything. Why not keep it all hidden? While Snowden tweeted. “The scandal is that the DOJ found out about it a week prior to the midterm elections and chose to suppress the story, conferring a partisan advantage.” That does not explain why NOW!
Classifying documents is nonsense. It is not always national security. Many times they are covered up simply to hide illegal activity as in Snowden’s Case. One way or another, incriminating evidence vanishes. So why have the Democrats suddenly exposed their own?
There is absolutely NO WAY suddenly Democrats would reveal that they have found classified documents in Biden’s various locations. They have manipulated the press to hide the Hunter Laptop and these documents all before the elections. They stormed Trump’s house as they have NEVER done in the history of this nation no matter how heated the politics have been.
With the Republicans now in charge of the House, that is where the investigations start. They know that indicting Trump will seriously divide the country and result in rising civil unrest. On top of that, with the Republicans now launching an nvestigation of the Democratic investigations, they need a diversion. They may be using this ploy that compels him to resign and at the same time tar & feather Trump for 2024.
Revealing that Biden had classified documents and now the Attorney General had to appoint a special prosecutor, there is no way they can indict Trump on that theory without indicting Biden. But all of that seems to be just the misdirection. Biden’s mental capabilities are failing and to pull off World War III, they need someone who is not the brightest bulb in the box but who will just read the prepared speeches on cue and Harris fits the bill.
Harris sought the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination but withdrew from the race prior to the primaries. Joe Biden selected her as his running mate approved by Soros. They may be preparing to eat Biden for lunch to further knock Trump for 2024. But also because they seem to hope that removing him from the office will take the steam out of the Republicans to impeach Biden over Hunter’s Laptop etc., anyway! Use the declassified docs and kill two birds with one stone – Trump & Biden.
Good article in NRO. Yah, in comment section, basically pro-war conservatives/right wingers. Most believe that Putin intends on rebuilding the Soviet Union. Or as one commentator said, it is the “Putin Domino Theory”. First Ukraine, and before we know it, Russians invade Hooterville, AK.
I read too many postings and did not bookmark. But one pundit noted that the Turks were not impressed with the Leopard tanks they used against the Kurds and ISIS.
I was following Syrian war when Leopards entered the fray. They manage to lose 10 Leopard 2A4 in a week or two, to various causes. There were photos of destroyed tanks (including blown off turret), and even a video of two of them getting ATGM from the side, one after another. After that, they have switched to using only M-60 Sabra, and became more careful.
All western military equipment is considered best in the world, until it faces competent enemy. I am sure Russians can’t wait to update their collection of German tanks in Kubinka Tank Museum.
If the Russians were involved them Trump must have urimated on those documents. Perhaps that’s how they track them.
One might think that if the Mother of God, herself, were to give advice on how to win the war between Russia and Ukraine, people would listen.
Apparently, one would be wrong.
Just a “tad” of humor on this very strange mess on Joe the senile’s docs:
https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/DOCUMENT%20FLOW%20CHART.jpg?itok=-bdhBQXV
Is this why Sodom (San Fransisco) and Gamora (Hollywood) experiencing a bomb cyclone or Biblical flooding with estimated damages of 34 billion and counting. If you exceed the laws of Nature, Nature will abort you.
Horrible interviewer. Just bad.
Everything I have read about hur does not inspire confidence; after all, he was appointed by garland.
Another durham fiasco.
The appointment of a special council in the Biden document affair in and of itself is meaningless. How much were the Clintons hurt by the special council circus in the 90’s. In fact it created an illusion of justice in progress for the entertainment of we the proles. What is more provocative is the fact that the controlled media has obviously been given a signal to hit Biden on the issue. The Democrats are going to use the Republican controlled house to clean up its Biden/Ukraine corruption problem as the uniparty backs out of the lost conflict. The Harris puppet figure, who is likely to be less tainted by this particular branch of the systemic corruption, can then be installed (“Our first black woman President!” All swoon in unison.) and kept there by as much as ten years, as they can obviously now choose whomever they want for any office in the land at will, as long as they are weak and corrupt enough to cooperate. With Biden out, the Ukraine scandal can be quietly buried, which is what the uniparty wants most of all as it affects “both sides of the aisle”. Problem solved, next crisis. Carbon anyone?
“It is hard to ask people to think clearly about war. They become swept up in moralisms, and this can make thinking about what an achievable and tolerable long-term settlement might look like difficult. But what we’ve signed up for by backing Ukraine is a massive, nearly utopian project with obvious, foreseeable risks and potentially ruinous costs. It’s time we started thinking about those dangers more seriously.”
Utopian project? Moralisms? The Azov Nazis shelled Donbas civilians for 9 years killing 15K, wounding God knows how many and they speak of moralisms? Dougherty edges up to the truth and then backs off repeatedly in this piece. He’s going to speak of moralisms (which isn’t even a word, really, although you can glean from the context) without mentioning 150,000 Ukie dead and 450,000 wounded for life? This is a utopian project? Really! The Orthodox church is nearly destroyed, Russian language banned, but not a mention of that. Many contradictions to the truth in Ukraine in his scribbling and yet, he’s the ‘best’ and closest to the truth in the Western press?
Anyone that thinks this failure by the U.S., Nuland, Rice, Biden and SecState Blinken (who is the same brand of stooge as Biden) as well as the intel and military leadership apparatus will pull them back to reason is as insane as they are. Commit American troops to this, get 50 or 80,000 of them killed, they won’t give a hoot, they’ll tell the press to ignore the body bags and move on to China.
The Azov Nazis that are killed for shelling Russians all these years had it coming. The fodder forced into and killed and wounded in this thing, not so much. It’s no utopia. Dougherty is full of crap. He has no concept. Maybe I’ve become a pacifist in my old age, but I’ve seen bombs drop, it’s ugly. I don’t want Ukies, Russians and especially Americans chewed up in this utterly unnecessarily conflict. Only reason we have it is there’s no draft. Nuland, Blinken, none of the Deep State’s Ivy-League children will serve and die. THAT is why they’re forcing this on the rest of us. It’s depraved indifference to the suffering of others.
And like Larry said in another thread/venue, Biden holding the line against sending our guys over there pisses the Deep State off, leading them to eliminate HIM. Betcher ass Kamala Harris will fall right into line. And when it’s over, like I said, the press will be shut down and cheer lead for the war of Taiwan.
Pity that Dougherty is the “best of the press” of the west. I get my health care from the VA in Boston and Tampa. The Vietnam guys are mostly gone. What I see now are the guys with no legs and/or arms from Iraq, Afghanistan, some from Syria, others that can’t breath and are on oxygen from the burn pits in Iraq. Every. Single. One. of them, unnecessary. And we’re now to create another 100,000 of them in this shit here in Ukraine. To satisfy Victoria Nuland. She’s easily as evil as Madeline Albright. Look her up. When we replaced James Baker types with Hillary, Nuland and Susan Rice types, it points up the folly of assigning bloodthirsty lady-feminists to our most important positions in diplomacy and control of the war-fighting realm. Their children don’t serve, so they don’t give a shit.
Welcome to Chicago ! 🥴
Frances Underwood?
Larry keep in mind the Breden article you recommended we read is behind a paywall.
“Those staffers will be in the trick box in the coming weeks. Get your popcorn. It will be quite a show”
Ah Larry you’re too laconic… Give us the complete story!
In France we have to saying about political affairs.
“If an affair can’t be buried simply , just create another affair” (C.Pasqua)
“When I want to bury a problem, I designate a committee”. (G.Pompidou)
Well , let that sink for a bit. Ukraine can’t be buried , people suddenly dying from coincidences are , in the contrary , buried more often … then you have Biden thrown under the bus and a new prosecutor named.
It’s an academic reading of a problem solving chart at this point.
Kill two birds with one stone. Use it to prosecute Biden or force his resignation and then use that to deprive Trumpbto opportunity to run.
The Western leadership’s regret is emerging simply because they’ve had their “Oh Shit!” moment. It’s dawned on them that they’ve blundered into the quagmire they’d so carefully prepared for Russia and they’re stuck with no politically viable way out.
Prior to his invasion of Persia, the Delphic Oracle told Croesus that if he crosses the River Halys, “a great empire will be destroyed”, and so it came to pass. Croesus lost his Empire. Shit happens.
